Re: [Steam]-y Thread XXX: Throwing titles out the window!
i46, the first intercontinental LAN between Europe and North America, is going on right now. You can view it here on Vanilla TV, or here on Seanbud's (an invite level scout) stream. Vanilla TV is having some technical difficulties, so it might be better to tune into Seanbud and Co. He managed to get some of the top shoutcasters, so that's a plus.
But anyways, you should watch because the community pooled together $20,000 to send the two top American teams to LAN. This is the first time we'll be able to see how the top North American style matches up against the top European style. The Americans have been tearing it up so far (yet to drop a round, I believe), but it's just in the early group stages so that doesn't mean much.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread XXX: Totally SFW, we swear!
The tf2 spreadsheet stuff: Reading the stuff, the admin is not good at truths. Also makes stuff up. Claimed he had to pay server upkeep and upgrades. NOTICE THE .blogspot ENDING. That **** is free. FREE. You got to blogspot, and ask for a blog and they give you a blog. You pay nothing.
Some people suggested this: http://backpack.tf/
It's cool, but has a small community, so prices can be farther off than one would hope. It should give an idea of where the price should be at most. No more.
It's fairly overpriced, and has the problems Forbiddenwar mentioned, and the people in their IRC aren't the nicest. But they have the most cool system ever and I want their bots.
They have a program that talks to the steam servers, pretending to be steam, and functions. That is how it works. If you can tell me that is not mindblowingly cool, you are a silly.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread XXX: Totally SFW, we swear!
Overpriced is an odd choice of words, Since if an item is high in cost when buying it, it is also high in cost when selling it. Perhaps the prices do not seem accurate for some items in relation to others when compared to the spreadsheet or the backpack.
If you think that is cool, this will blow your mind. Bots that can craft
Which is very useful is you want to get rid on that spare demo weapon now and not have to wait for another spare demo weapon to drop. Also, unlike the warehouse, it's free. There is no 10% cut, only a cap of 10 weapons you can trade. Also the reverse scraping is nice and free (after the one time cost of 4 scrap), if you suddenly need 2 brass beasts for the heavies that joined in MvM without one.
Edit: Okay, I gave the Backpack explorer a second chance. It is a really nice tool. I especially like the part where is says the value of my backpack ($391) That makes me feel better about those keys I bought.Last edited by Forbiddenwar; 2012-08-24 at 07:28 PM.

This.
And this. If after months of snooping, the worst thing they can pin on him is profiting 1 key once on extremely new, uncertain item, they can't pin anything at all.
Be glad you don't make threads on... Let's say another part of the GitP
BTW, the proper term is Defenestration. We can call this First_Defenestration of GitP
Is it reliable?
I don't want to feed a lot of items into in and see they're gone. Plus, they overprice keys and such :/
He does have a point net developers and their time aren't free, though.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread XXX: Throwing titles out the window!
It has many security features to insure you get credit for what you trade in, including an active administration who refund credits really quickly (like within an hour) if you file a report with evidence.
Just, for the love of god, check your safety word. Since you are basically giving your items to a stranger and the safety word is the main method to determine whether or not is is one of the true bots, and not just a scammer. There are other methods as well.
Also, see above comment on overpricing. I found that the key price is very accurate, about 2.5 refined for a key. although when it comes to buying vs selling (and you have to do both in order to use the warehouse fully) that 10% cut is what hurts you.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread XXX: Throwing titles out the window!
Back when I was trading regularly, I mostly ignored the spreadsheet prices. If you regularly trade, you tend to meet some of the same people again and again. I've got a few on my friends list, so if I'm looking to pricecheck, I just ask them.
That, and a lot of the high level trading seems to be done within private circles (word of mouth between some of the wealthier traders).Avatar by araveugnitsuga | Play by Post (Guide) | Steam

Re: [Steam]-y Thread XXX: Throwing titles out the window!
Hm, it sounds like simple scrapbank?
I wonder, can you buy any weapon there?
Ah. Nice to hear. Still, last time I checked they demanded 50 weapons (2.77) which 2-4 scrap higher than real human outside of scammers will do.

"If I see community vote I think suspect, I ignore it" when someone asked him about situations like above. So, their 'community' vote is an illusion and/or can be driven by one guy with lost of proxies.
There's way too much items on the market now for that, and a single human is going to be much more error-prone or partial, IMHO...

Re: [Steam]-y Thread XXX: Throwing titles out the window!
That's why I have several humans to talk to and ask.
Unusuals, Promos, etc. There's a lot of high frequency trading going on with regular hats though. What I used to do is trade Hat A for Hat B and have them toss a scrap in for free. Then I trade Hat B for Hat A, and get another scrap thrown in. Rinse and repeat.Avatar by araveugnitsuga | Play by Post (Guide) | Steam

Re: [Steam]-y Thread XXX: Throwing titles out the window!
If they have it to sell, yes. at 2 weapons per scrap, far better than most traders.
okay, I did the math. Key prices are set at 49.777777778. so, you're right. On the other hand Warehouse is 24/7 and you don't have to haggle. So you pay for convenience.Last edited by Forbiddenwar; 2012-08-24 at 08:50 PM.

I always ask a big question on the League thread right before bedtime so I have something to read while trying to wake up.
Responses of any sort are wonderful.
SpoilerI like coming up with concepts for characters, and will do so often. But writing up crunch, especially for anything that isn't level 1, takes me a while, and after wasting lots of time writing unused characters on Mythweavers, I generally don't make a sheet unless a DM really likes the concept. Sorry.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread XXX: Throwing titles out the window!
So, tried doing EYE multiplayer, but it seems to be extremely difficult to set it up unless you have a dedicated server, and both of the public servers are set to master difficulty, making those a bit hard as well.

Yeah, I could see that working. Well, maybe.
Man, E.Y.E. is such a strange game. I'd nearly forgotten how strange it was. Also pleased to learn I can grind brozoufs in side/special missions. On my first playthrough I unlocked 1 gun, and no implants/powers due to lack of funds.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread XXX: Throwing titles out the window!
So my dad and I have been playing Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. I was trying out the new race in an 8 player game (him, me, and six AI's) when all of a sudden this massive aircraft comes out of no where, and drops a single bomb that destroyed a while third of my base and took my commander down to 2% hp.
Then it came back around for another pass.
That's the first time an AI has beaten me in an RTS since AI War. I am impressed.
Ow.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread XXX: Throwing titles out the window!
I reinstalled Modern Warfare 3 for GamesRadar's 24-hour marathon yesterday. After ten minutes, I realized that it's nigh-unplayable, unbalanced, and full of really mean-spirited people. Even though my favorite map from the series was ported to it for free, I still ignored it.
