Fascinating. So for a population of 100K and provided you are doing random sampling, how do you determine a valid sample size? I know there are several variables to consider. I have a PhD in Terryology. So, I can tell you definitively that the best way to determine the best sample size is to prove that 1x1=2. But that'd be obvious if you were a genius like me.

If that's the case, make a support ticket.

Look for Lauren on the ground in a big room right before the door that you can't get through. Click on her, and prepare for your heart to break.

Oh yeah I see that and think ‘ploo-gable’? What?’ Lol MCM EXACTLY!

Any ogg files should work, it's a universal format. The issue is something else, unknown.

For some reason my English speaking self wants to add an extra L into it and make it "Tequilla", like "Godzilla", or "Alligator"... even though I know it's wrong. My brain says that the right spelling is the wrong spelling. Stupid English.... don't even get me STARTED on the "plugable" devices that we have all over the office at work...

I’m sorry you are not satisfied with the new product. It is our intention to make items that make your life easier, not harder! I will pass along your feedback to our design team. I hope you’ll consider giving us another chance.

Just give us an Ignore button, and we'll put him on it. Thanks. Click on the Profile link (or any of the options under it): Hover over "Modify Profile", and then hover over "Buddies/Ignore List", then click on "Edit Ignore List": Type the name of the offender into the "Member" textbox and click the "Add" button:

Grrrr... Missed it again. Stupid family getting in the way of me giving money to strangers, Grrrr...

What goes well with thugs? B****es and H**s man, B****es and H**s.

Dear Homecoming Team, As I type up this letter, I am watching my Tequila launcher patching this game with a new update, and a snazzy new logo. This is something that is totally unique, in my experience, and I've experienced a lot in the last few years. I got to meet two of my idols. I got to see "Weird Al" Yankovic live again for the first time in almost 20 years, got to shake his hand and got him to sign my full-size replica of his Walk of Fame Star. I got to watch Joel Hodgson riff a movie live on-stage, and then shake his hand, look him in the eye, and have him tell me that he liked the patches on my jacket. I got to see, first my kids' names up in the credits for an episode of MST3K on the first Revival season, and then got to see my name up on ALL of the credits of the second Revival season. I've gotten to see SO many of my geek dreams come true with the rise of the MCU, and all the greatness that that has brought. However, those things were not as unique and important as what's happening tonight. Why is something as mundane as waiting for a software patch so much more unique and important than those other phenomenal things? Because, for the first time in my life, I get to experience a video game that I loved for years, that I spent hours enjoying with family and friends, come back to life... after a gap of almost a decade. After I thought it was gone forever. And not only in the state that it was in when it disappeared from my life oh so long ago, but in a new and improved format. Not only THAT, but with a team of fellow fans behind it that are dedicated to ensuring that the lights NEVER go out in Paragon City ever again, and that we don't just keep looking at the past, but rather keep moving forward to the future. I've already gone over how I've gotten to this point before, but what matters isn't really how I got here, but how YOU got me here. YOU took the risk of downloading code that could potentially have caused harm, not only to yourself, but to those around you. YOU decided to take in that code, solidify it, modify it, and improve it, in every way. YOU made the decision, not to go backwards and try to restore the game to a state from before the shutdown, but rather to move it forwards into the next era. YOU put your time, effort, blood, sweat and tears into not only starting this whole thing, but keeping it going. YOU are under constant attack, not only from competing servers, internet trolls, and armchair ethicists, but even from your own playerbase, without wavering. YOU have put your own personal reputations, livelihoods, and financial stability at risk to keep the lights on. In short, YOU, the Homecoming Team, have given this thing your all, your everything, whatever you could spare, in order to make not just your dream come true again, but the dreams of literally [glow=white,2,300]thousands[/glow] of other people come true. THAT is an enormous feat, and an enormous accomplishment. You should be proud of yourselves. I won't give you more thanks in this post for that, you're already getting tons of thanks from myself and others in the past, and will continue to receive more in the future, I'm sure. No, this post isn't to thank you for what you've done, this post is to put everything that you've done and are going to do in the future in perspective, and to get YOU to stop for a moment and thank YOURSELF. Thank yourself, for having the courage to step forward and make this dream a reality in the first place. Thank yourself, for having the perseverence to continue in spite of all the naysayers, and mudflingers that want to tear down what others have built. Thank yourself, for having the tenacity to stick to your guns, and move forward with developing I25, rather than doing what virtually all of the other public servers are doing and going backwards, losing six years worth of work. Thank yourself, for having the constitution to stomach the grunts and groans from the small minority of players that always speak out whenever anything that looks like nerf gets released. Thank yourself, for having the dedication to accomplish ALL of this, WITHOUT the benefit of any of it giving you a paycheck, as the original developers and staff received for their work. Know this: this is YOUR world, a world of your own creation. Make of it what you will, use your own best judgement to mold this new world into one that you'll happily spend years more enjoying. And know, that for all of the vitriol and scorn you may receive from a few buzzing busybodies... you'll still have a legion behind you that will support you in what you are doing. Creation is INFINITELY harder than destruction, and this legion realizes the inherent value of that creation. We are with you, and we will continue to be. For as long as you're willing to keep standing strong and keep something that you love alive, we will be here to support you. Ignore those who spend their lives trying to destroy what others build. They are wasting their lives away on efforts that make the world a worse place via destruction, while you are working to make the world a better place via creation. Focus on the positive future ahead, and rest easy knowing that you're doing a Great Good in bringing joy to thousands of people. Godspeed, Homecoming Team, and I will now log on and crack a great many more Skuls, in your honor.

a) Is gone, because to be able to play the game, you have to have a forum account... though you don't have to use it.

Don't narrow your search by level. People still gain experience even while exemplared. Seriously, unless someone explicitly has their status as "don't accept invites, and they aren't actively in a map mission... invite them! That's how teams are formed!

Well... One Thanos was. The 616 Thanos was a nihilist who destroyed half the universe as a bouquet to his love. Yup, honestly, the MCU messed this up, if you ask me, by leaving Death and his obsession with her out of the whole thing.

I <3 this thread.

Welcome home PFlux.

I fixed the glitch, and the Dev Tracker now has a new home, on my own personal website... no ADS! http://www.cityofplayers.com/DevTracker/ More information: The issue was that I was stupidly parsing the forum pages as XML/HTML5, and the MOMENT that a dev used a tag that was deprecated/incompatible with XML/HTML5 (in this case, it was the <li> tag's deprecated "type" attribute), it broke the whole thing. I resolved this by using old-school HTML parsing with the HTML Agility Pack, rather than using XML Parsing.

Aaaannnd.... some recent change of some sort just broke the Dev Tracker... it looks like for some reason the DTD document doesn't load to deserialize the XML elements anymore... it always times out... I've spent the better part of four hours monkeying with it and trying to get it to work without success... If only the Homecoming peeps would give me read-only access to query the SMF's SQL database....

This is fantastic. I love to see that the game will continue to be updated.
