DISCLAIMER: all talk of starsector in my thread is fully allowed and encouraged

[Kendrickorium]

>posting about starsector is harmful

you can stay out

[conrad]

Starsector was mentioned once (if it was twice, I didn't see it) in that thread. Counting spam started at least three times. Each time, there was a nudge from Riggle to stop. On the third, there was a warning.

Furthermore, Starsector has become the socially accepted norm of "This thread is becoming heated and y'all should stop flinging shit at each other". Counting is just contentless spam.

There's a difference between intrusive content and something that is utterly a big stinky ball of nothing.

And before someone raises a stink about me being part of the Starsector thing:



I know the difference because I too was warned. Except I didn't appeal it.

both of these are bad, you can say calm down without plugging your ears and derailing

I think it should become a rule that if starsector doesnt work to calm a thread, it should probably be locked

That doesn't work. It's much easier to make people collectively agree to be angry at you than to stop raising the stakes on insulting each other.

The only reason it's starsector it's 'cos it started as starsector btw, it could be minecraft if people were discussing redstone instruments.

I got a warning off this too. I'm pretty sure I only did the counting before being told to knock it off, but the posts are deleted so it's also likely I'm just misremembering.

As for starsector, I think I got a key for it years ago and I have it downloaded, but I've never checked it out. From what I hear it's kind of like Sunless Seas, which is a game I like, but the whole space angle doesn't capture me as much as the Fallen London Cave setting.

would you mind deleting my last forum warning as well i was just rating a threads title and armhulen thought i was counting

[warbluke]

Sweet, I didn't even need to appeal or anything.

I've heard mount and blade is like KC:D, which is also a game I play and like.

it was literally just spam

at least starsector involves discussion

[Kendrickorium]

I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS WORKS

[iwishforducks]

[datorangebottle]

I prefer starsector posting because I will probably buy starsector one day.
It's also far better than counting, counting is just obnoxious.

[Turbonerd]

I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS WORKS

It must be the full url. It must contain the v parameter and no other parameters.

starsector derailment sucks ngl and the game itself is mid

I really like the game but it does kinda run out of stuff to do once you have your ideal fleet. Granted, basically every strategy game* has the “Well, now what?” issue once you become powerful enough.

* I know Starsector isn’t strictly a strategy game, but it’s basically space Mount and Blade, and Mount and Blade has the same issue of games like Total War where you eventually reach critical mass of strength and no one can stop you outside of Mongolian death armies.

[kinnebian]

"high effort" derailment is still derailment and its really annoying to sift through starsector essayposting so i can read what the discussion is

if the thread has devolved to the point that people are actually having a discussion about starsector or literally anything else, the thread is done and should probably be locked

also its a fucking spaceman game forum not wikipedia or digg

if we want to talk about something else in a thread that has clearly run its course we should be able to

counting is just /b/ tier trolling, and should be punished as such

The point the discussion was at was people getting banned because of their forum posts. No one else got banned after the starsector derailment was over and done with. Until they started spamming with counting chains, and got warned for it.

still lots of story and end game stuff for the devs to add. they didnt spend over ten years on this game to have no huge space opera story or end game content.

UAF and GSM add a lot of content as is

as for suggestions, you could
-go wipe out a faction that bullied you when you were younger
-start a fuel economy based empire to eventually overtake the diktat
-kill off all major factions
-try out meme fleets (nothing but wolfs, nothing but carriers, etc) this last run i gimped myself by ONLY using high tech ships
-steal all colony items from a competing faction
-search for more superweapons
-mess with settings inside of game and mods to make battles even harder, better ships, more higher level officers, bigger opposing fleets, etc

i should probably add that the only time you really become "unstoppable" is with mods enabled
as far as i'm aware in unmodded starsector redacted will still kick your ass

FUCK THE HEGEMONY
FUCK THE PATHERS

REMEMBER MAYASURA

[Kendrickorium]

Mayasura Star System
2
EDIT
Mayasura is a star system of the Core Worlds. It is part of the Persean League. Once, it was home to the Mayasuran terraforming cabal, an independent nation whose might rivaled the Hegemony, and acted as a roadblock in their expansion on the northern Core Worlds. Their capital of Mairaath was crowned with three massive space cities. Combined, they housed tens of millions of people and formed the keystone of the terraforming project which transformed Mairaath into a paradise world. However, this utopia was destroyed in an attack by the Luddic Path on October 22, Cycle 82, resulting in the destruction of Mayasura as an independent nation.

A fanatical faction of the Luddic Path assaulted the three Astropoli that orbited the paradise world, culminating in one of them crashing into the planet and utterly devastating it. Shortly after the terrorist attack, a Hegemony task force led by commodore Jensulte attacked the Mayasuran Navy and destroyed its flagship, the Conquest-class MSS Garuda, dealing the killing blow to their nation. Mayasura’s subsequent annexation lasted until the Persean League's rise allowed them to be relatively free again.

Mayasura is predominantly owned by Tri-Tachyon, with a Pirate station in the asteroid belt beyond Mairaath, and the Persean League world of Mairaath. Mayasura is completely hand-crafted, and will not be altered by procedural generation.

"counting" and "starsector posting" seem interchangeable here, and it feels like youre defending one because you personally like it

[CMDR_Gungnir]

Furthermore, Starsector has become the socially accepted norm of "This thread is becoming heated and y'all should stop flinging shit at each other". Counting is just contentless spam.

Both of them derail a thread, and for people who don't care about Starsector, it's just contentless spam too. The only difference is that you enjoy Starsector.

At least Gravelposting was actually funny because it was silly and weird, instead of a conversation so utterly mundane and banal to people who don't play it that I'm pretty sure you guys are just copying off of a script and having the exact same conversation every time.

[iwishforducks]

gravelposting was funnier because it was unapologetically spam. starsector posters are still in here in this thread lying about how it's not just spam

[iwishforducks]

with that said: gravelposting sucked. but it was funny.

[Nabski]

There was a funny digg post of a custom station that was just gluing together four atlas ships in a circle.

"counting" and "starsector posting" seem interchangeable here, and it feels like youre defending one because you personally like it

starsector is an interchangeable noun for any kind of discussion that starts up inside a thread
if instead, we started to have meaningful discussions about wrestling when we are all sick and tired of midwits giving their thesis' on politics and throwing shit at each other in a thread, would that work out better for you?
a completely different discussion happening inside a thread is a subtle way for people to say holy shit this is fucking garbage, we want to talk about something else now. it also cools everyone down.
let me put this in a way you can relate to, when there is a super serious episode of bleach, it's typically followed up by a filler episode to allow for everyone to calm down and relax
another example - in ds9 after Dax is killed, they all play baseball. (this, like starsector posting, was also very funny)

i notice a lot of people are focusing on starsector-- heads up, a lot of other random discussions happen in threads too, it's just that starsector is one thats SOMETIMES forced instead of organically happening when a thread hits max shittery

gravel posting and counting are just one or two posters having a temper tantrum when a group of people having a discussion typically are groupthinking in a way that isnt liked

or you can all have your wish, and the forum gods will be actually enforced to smite anyone that brings up literally anything not directly associated with the first forum post in a thread 5 pages long.

[iwishforducks]

i dont think anyone has used counting to INTENTIONALLY derail in comparison to starsector posting

[Striders13]

meow

have you tried not enganging in discussions you personally don't find interesting? Not every thread has to pander to you.

I said before, it could be Minecraft redstone stuff, it could be a Roblox meme like the fog thing, it could be anything. Starsector only stuck because it came around first in these discussions.

Granted if it was something I don't engage in, I'd try to put the thread back on rails more often. But I wouldn't be a bitch about it like people who derail threads with a big load of nothing and then refuse to stop after being told by forum mods, then make an appeal when they get a warning. (sorry ducks I like you but this is lame)

On that 9 page thread, Starsector was mentioned once. The derailment caused by people getting banned over managing to break forum rule 7 was over and done with. The counting crap happened like three times after the thread had already run its course.

Not to mention the same people bitching about Starsector posting are the people that start or participate in counting chains. Glass houses and such.

Read my words fool:

yes, the thread had some serious discussion, but when it did there were people trying to derail the thread and nothing was done about it.

ultimately i do not care about being stopped from counting. this is more of a complaint about how the rules are being enforced than an appeal, honestly. but y’know can’t make an admin complaint since there’s a warning attached or whatever.

page 3 of the thread:

Can someone start talking about starsector this thread has long been drained of anything productive related to a difficult situation.

BRO HAVE YOU SEEN FLESH AND BLOOD?

It's my favourite thing right now. It's a TCG with a much lower monetary barrier of entry than Magic the Gathering and has a much more active, back and forth fueled combat gameplay.

I played it once all day and although it felt wonky cos I had never played it I managed to win a game against a friend of mine who is a TCG streamer and YouTuber. Felt good.

F&B is my favourite thing rn fr

Have you seen Keyforge? Its buy one deck for 6 bucks (maybe some tokens but you can use paper imma be real) and then you play, each deck contains random Cards in 3 factions and you cant mix cards from different decks, a lotta fun

Speaking of deck builders, there's this game called Friends vs Friends that combines first person shooting and deck-building. You use different types of cards in 1v1 or 2v2 matches that give you buffs, debuffs the opponent(s) or even random attributes that can turn the tide of the round, like completely changing the map. It has its balance issues and the playerbase is not that big, but it is incredibly fun, especially with friends.

Oh, and all of the playable characters are anthropomorphic animals.

page 4:

Personally, I'm on that Perfect Heist 2 grind

There's no levels, I just like the game

Rounds is also fun

I have, but I'mma be real, I did not like the aesthetic.

I'm not even a weeaboo and I LOVED the F&B aesthetic. Check out the hero of the semi-deck the store gave me (they do these giveaways to new players, as is tradition with cardboard crack) (spoiler 'cos big images)
Spoiler:
(yes I was highway phoneposting)

Cool as shit. I My friend brought a tier 1 Kassai deck. This is Kassai and her weapons
Spoiler:
It just looks cool :3

I started a new run not too long ago, since now 99 percent of mods have been updated and bug free for the new version
I still have Vayra's stuff in there though, and it hasnt been "officially updated" for several versions now
it adds a lot of shit other modders can use to fuck with the bounty system, which makes for much more interesting play, as now instead of just "go to this system and kill bad guy" you now have the bad guys actively moving through the sector, you have to catch them, chat it up with them, etc

I actually had to to tone down the graphics mod because of all the crazy shit that happens in some fights, the graphicslib mod makes the game even prettier than base version

heres a seth video for anyone interested (key included)
officially i do not not condone piracy, but I promise all of you this is a game where you will play it for a few hours and then WANT to give the dev money

Didn't the devs say they don't plan to make updates anymore though?

guys are there any good newer RTS games I used to play some as a kid and I really wish there was something popular more recent than starcraft 2

i would quote these properly but i can't just click the reply button. some of these are quoting others and also have images/videos attach which inflate the size of them even more. you are also one of these people intentionally bringing up irrevelant things to derail the thread on page 3/4, fyi. not as a jab but rather it's that i have a really hard time taking you for face value when you just intentionally tried to derail a thread.

Yeah this is one continuous thing. Dunno what you're trying to prove here.

Btw on the topic of your ban appeal, I'd find it funny in "we've reached this point wow" kinda way if a ruling made for "No more peanut thread derailment", but I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Going out of your way to break a forum rule 'cos a behaviour that is not a rule break is something you disagree with is weak dude.

i didn't break a forum rule in spite because people were starsector posting or whatever. i had just given up on ever hoping that threads can even stay on topic. so i counted to have fun to show that i truly don't care anymore about the thread after productively contributing to the thread for page after page.

this is where a lot of my frustration comes in, because i had spent a lot of effort to keep the thread on topic while forum moderators did jack shit about people actively trying to derail the thread. and then as soon as i had taken a seat back i get the hammer. and yet still at the end of the day i don't feel like my warning actually moved the needle in any direction to stop thread derailing, despite being slapped for "derailing a thread"

[iwishforducks]

idk im just sad now

are you saying that it’s fine to derail threads, as long as it’s not counting? the in quotes “derailing a thread” was quoted from my forum warning

[dendydoom]

you'll never win riggle if you only warn 1 or 2 people then you'll catch heat for not applying the rules consistently but if you ding everyone then you won't be considering ~the context~ so maybe we should just delete the forums
