Actually, Discord is very good at what it is designed to do, that being getting small to moderately sized groups of nerds onto a unified, centralized platform from which they can communicate in the various manners to which they have become accustomed.

It's reasonably stable, has decent voice, requires minimal configuration, is multi-platform, and doesn't cost you any money to set up.






It also is selling all of your personal data to advertising companies, but if you use facebook/twitter/amazon/google/et loving cetera, you are already implicitly okay with this.

No one is planning the hostile take down of the us government over discord. Well, if they are, they're idiots anyway. Discord is for small groups of people to do gaming poo poo. No one confuses actual security with "these people we shoot in a game are spying on us to gain an advantage". No one cares about actual security on discord.

Discord is just another typical example of a start-up running on venture capital fumes, aside from the whole "selling your data" thing which they readily admit to, not that your personal data is quite the goldmine it used to be, mind you.

I dunno after reading tons of articles on the horrors of people trying to sell me books that are semi like the books I buy already I'm just not entirely sold on the whole "My Data is Worth Selling" thing. Maybe I'll get up in arms if they find a way to flip my webcam on while I'm jerking off or something. There are privacy breaches that mean virtually nothing "This guy sure does play a lot of _______ game!" is pretty tame compared to say... stealing my credit card, or doxxing me and leaving a severed horsehead on my pillow.

EDIT: it should be noted that I'm not dumb enough to put my phone number into any of this poo poo, so the invasive stuff pretty much never happens and gmail has a primo spam blocker.

"I wish for some conversations to be private," is not equivalent to, "I wish to bring about regime change in my home country."

Sometimes I just want my conversations to be private.

I like Discord. It works well for a dozen friends scattered all over the place who are online at various times, sometimes together.

Stunt has never had problems "Fitting in" when he's been a member. His problem is wherever goons are housed is honestly some of the best hunting grounds in eve because we actually use our space, and goons naturally compound that by being whiny as poo poo whenever killed by an ex blue.

Note that when I'm saying goons here I'm being inclusive and saying"Goons and all the trash we surround ourselves with." The kind of people that get shocked and offended when Mandozer does Mandozer things instead of grabbing a beer and watching all the directors who made the same mistake two times ago queuing up to yell "Not my fault this time." Honestly it's a service if you think about it. We should drag him in yearly.

A while back in the thread someone was talking about editing PYFA files for fitting (changing CPU/PG etc). How do you do that again? Could I theoretically make the new CONCORD ships in pyfa? Thanks.

Non-player here. I was just looking at sov.space to see who owns what chunks of space, and I noticed the "NPC faction map," which I've determined is the unclaimed middle area in the main player sov maps. Now I am 100% aware that the backstory doesn't "matter," and the setting is just a backdrop for player hyping, but it is very noticeable that the Minmatars have eaten huge chunks of the Amarr's territory. How does NPC vs NPC faction war work, is it something you can influence in PvE "quests," or does the game generate AI controlled fleets which fight? Is "the Amarr are on the ropes" part of the story? (I recall looking a while ago and they were huge)

So what influences this, what if any minor in-game implications does it have, and is it going to inevitably rubber band back?

That's the faction-warfare map, which doesn't show the non-conquerable systems or their neighbors; actual Amarr space is about four times that size, it's just that the vast majority of their space isn't conquerable. Basically the NPC wars are a long series of king of the hill matches, and once your side does enough of those in one system you get sent to blow up a structure that then gives your faction control of the system. This has absolutely no story influence (the Caldari took over Intaki once, which is sort of like China somehow occupying Alabama; nothing happened in the plot iirc?), but it does pay a lot of money given the low effort involved. It eventually rubberbands, but often people have an alt in every faction anyway.

Oh also, what's the deal with this prion plague The Scope is talking about. Do you guys have missions where you can help set up research labs, or bombard infection areas, or spread the plague to other areas?


Also I'm going to Iceland in 2 weeks. Anyone have any recommendations on things to do, since I'd imagine a nonzero amount of you go to the big annual convention?

Nope. It was a LARP thing for Fanfest, basically.

It was some sort of "Inquest" thing, I didn't really pay attention to it. Super-deadly prion plague breaks out, SoE anchor a Keepstar (IRL the Harpa Conference Center) near one of the afflicted locations to do ~~research~~, CCP and the company P runs a LARP thing that determines what the NPC empires do about the super-plague.
