Bay 12 Games Forum

Never take control away from the player, man.

One of the players I was giving priority is unable to commit to playing a game, so if TBF wants in, there's a spot available.

Still waiting on the other two I contacted, one of which hasn't been online for over a month, but it's looking increasingly likely that those other two spots'll open up.

See, the thing about locking up someone forever (or until someone "qualified" decides they're "better") really doesn't sound like something that complies with human rights.

Without due process of law, you are correct. With it, it is a perfectly justifiable way to keep dangerous criminals from further harming society. Personally, I see nothing wrong with hanging terrorists and mass murderers, as long as there is no doubt whatsoever in their guilt.

You're unlikely to be able to find absolutely no doubt in any judicial verdict, which is an issue when you have such an absolute punishment as death. It can't be reversed if any new evidence comes up years down the line.

Fucking Windows taking away my fucking keyboard shortcuts. Backspace no longer makes my browser go back a page, and the alternative shortcut doesn't work.

Thanks Obama.

Yeah, Chrome devs disabled it.

Still works on Firefox

The reason we're making this change is that users regularly lose data because they hit the backspace button thinking that a form field is focused. After years of this issue, we realize we're not going to have a better way to solve that problem.

What users? Idiot users. Punish the people who adapt to a problem by changing their fucking behaviour instead of blaming someone else. I don't even know why I'm so furious about this.

Looks like I'll be giving Safari a try. Try that for a change in behaviour.

I would not consider myself an idiot, yet that happens to me all the time. In what way is that punishing you? You lose how many seconds to move the mouse and click the back button? Whereas people who accidentally hit that key and go back a page (granted, usually it isn't lost if you go forward again immediately) tend to lose how much time?

Then again, I never really use shortcuts anyway. *shrug*

'Tis my most used keyboard shortcut. I may only lose a few seconds per effort, but that effort is likely to occur multiple times per browsing session.

It was also 2am, I may have over-reacted but I didn't because it's a stupid decision. There are multiple alternative (alright, two other) delete keys on a keyboard, and you could also highlight whatever you want to go away.

Backspace was the quickest shortcut to go back a page, particularly since I use the mouse with my left hand. As OW said, making it an option to turn it off would've appeased both sides.

Yes I know it's not a big deal, but it also totally is a big deal.

Edit: oh the alternative does work, but it's a fucking hassle to press. Why the fuck do I want to press alt and the right arrow to go back when FUCKING BACKSPACE IS RIGHT THERE. Jesus fuck man whoever decided this was a good idea needs a brick to the face.

Combat in CK2 is pretty complex, all things considered. It's a right shame we can't see flank composition before battle, though.

A whole bunch of stuff goes into it yeah, but at the end of the day its mostly who outnumbers who

Nope. I've gone through rebel armies that are several times larger than my horde as a nomad and wiped the floor with them.

So long as there's someone else available for IC duties in the BM not necessary just yet, but it'd be nice for when the game's about to start.
