Thanks! This got me the tattoo on my first try.

BC_Goldman

Yup, I checked the mafia nc choices for the barrr and one was set for drunk/stats. Don't know how/when that happened. Generally speaking, you don't want to do that.

BC_Goldman

Ran into a problem on my current HCStd PM run. Day 2 was El Dia so I ended up banking a bunch of turns because the script was having trouble with combats. Started day 3 with something like 150 adv and fired up the script while I went out for a run. I came back to find it had ended the day by getting...

BC_Goldman

Using old chat seemed to fix the problem. Further testing appears to be moot as the new https login for kol may have solved the problem. I've been playing with modern chat since about a day after the switch and haven't had any issues yet.

BC_Goldman

Noticed last night that this could somehow be connected to mafia. No idea how, but I did realize that if I lose connectivity it seems to stay that way. vanilla and mafia connections don't work. I can attempt multiple times to connect without success but as soon as I close down mafia the vanilla page...

BC_Goldman

I would love an alternative to Comcast! Updates: Phazic and I were experimenting tonight using telnet. Unfortunately, once I finally figured out how to work it, the connection started working again so I can't test telnet results. If I didn't note this before, the browser error is for a connection re...

Problem still crops up from time to time. It appears that moving from my living room to my bedroom can solve the problem. Since I'm connecting to the internet over xfinity wifi connections (and there are a ton of them visible to me) I'm wondering if there's something on one of the routers that is ca...

BC_Goldman

When KoL doesn't come up, using the IP address doesn't work either. I tried again after you posted that suggestion. On the plus side, yesterday and today there were no issues playing. Fingers crossed that the problem worked itself out.

BC_Goldman

Something hinky is going on with my computer. Ever since around the time KoL had that database problem, I'm having serious connection issues with KoL. I'll log in and sometimes in under 20 seconds, KoL simply disappears. Mafia stops working, attempting to navigate directly to kingdomofloathing.com r...

You take a moment to post a tirade about swingy mechanics in /hardcore and GD, inhale deeply to calm down, allowing the rich aroma of your parents' basement to work its magic on your psyche, and absentmindedly bloody your crotch with your thinking knife as you ponder whether or not to use a LTB.

BC_Goldman

Well, the run went well! Placed in the top 50 runners out of about 300 on the time sheets. Beat my previous time by 1:41.

BC_Goldman

Old thread necro. I've gotten back into running again and will be doing the Jingle Bell 5K in Philadelphia on 12/5. If any clannies are in the area and interested in meeting up for it, kmail me. My goal is to beat my time from the last one I did which was just under 26 minutes.

BC_Goldman

That one sounds interesting. My library has the ebook so I've added it to my reading list.

BC_Goldman

0-skill HCEd run completed in 4/946. There were a handful of issues but that was expected due to low skillcount. Currently done day 2 of a 2-skill run and today went off without a hitch.

A+, would use again

So i'm signed up for my first official 5k. Doing the Color Vibe in Vineland. Hoping we get a freak warm spell as I ran today when it was 38* and didn't particularly enjoy it. Today's time was 27:27 so that didn't make me feel any better. I think my PB is 25:31.

I think I read through the thread a while back. I've got a couple posts on page 2. I wore the Vibrams twice a couple weeks ago and I seemed to be having an issue with soreness in my left leg so I switched back to sneakers. I should try wearing them again and see if the problem reoccurs. Yeah, all th...

However, this weekend I ran my first 5K in 9months. 18:03 -- a one minute 5 second PR. And while proud of my 5:49 pace, looking at the above splits, I'm stunned at the idea of keeping similar for 26 miles. I was just coming here to report that I passed the 5k mark on my 28 minute run today. I wasn'...

BC_Goldman

Wow, I've got a long way to go. I'm currently doing a Couch to 5K program. Just finished week 7 I'm up to running 25 min solid. Best day this week was an average of 8:57/mi. The program is three days a week so I'm running M/W/F and then doing a 1.5 mile run on Saturdays. Best time I've managed so fa...

Not nearly as clever as my last one. In fact, it is quite plain but at least it is done.

BC_Goldman

That would make sense if mafia is counting the Myst base resistance but it doesn't apply on the KoL side. Sort of like how it doesn't help with they resistance tests in the DD iirc.

BC_Goldman

Oh, nice, didn't know about series of random encounters. Been hugging cave bars and ghuol hordes. That's been nice, especially the ghuol hordes (20 recruits).

BC_Goldman

I tip my hat to this guy. Way to think outside the box. Now if there were forged signatures as alleged, that would make it a different story. But I still think the concept was brilliant.

BC_Goldman

Welcome!

BC_Goldman

Seems to be it wouldn't be multi-abuse since its not helping you advance or benefit. Actually, I'd imagine it would be distracting from ascending. Sub-optimal!

BC_Goldman

Hmmm...I've always gone left to right, top to bottom. Think its time to work from both ends. I think the best I've ever done is 21. Usually 24-25.

BC_Goldman

I'm not a HC expert but looking at your profile I can give you some skills advice. +item is important for reducing TC as is +noncom. +combat has its places too but +noncom should come first. Passive item skills are convenient since you don't need MP for them. You'll also need a healing skills. Cocoo...

BC_Goldman

Can you kill it multiple times per ascension and does it count as a boss for the PvP stat?

BC_Goldman

Since I was thinking of doing this run as a DB anyway, that would work out well. If I do dooks as a frat I can have 15 ducks a day in aftercore to farm up the tapes I need to get all the discoveries and the outfit tat. Although doing as a hippie would give 10 so shouldn't be that bad. Wanted to star...

BC_Goldman

Good point on the medals. I guess at some point I'll try to get all of them. Might as well do a 0-sidequest one.

BC_Goldman

I figure I'd see how far 999 turns on one side got me towards the GMS trophy and adjust the 2nd side accordingly. Possibly completing one or more of the sidequests after I knew I'd raised the meat. IIRC doing sidequests is fine as long as you only have exactly one left on each side to do the Wossnam...

BC_Goldman

Hmmm...that's interesting. I need to do another HCBoris at some point for the tat since my first one was before they added it. Banishing the non-spiders should speed up the Gourdcore if +item is enough. Fist would be another option as it doesn't really add much in the way of limitations and I could ...

BC_Goldman

Yeah, I was starting to lean that direction (moxie/hatrack). I haven't done a 100% hatrack yet so that would be a plus. I can generate +155% item drop just with hatrack and Phat Loot. Probably some other things I could find along the way. That's good enough for a 64% chance on web drops. Olfact a sp...

BC_Goldman

Now that SoS III is over, I want to spend some time collecting the Hardcore trophies like Golden Meat Stack and Gourdcore. I figured that I might as well get the Wossname from the battlefield as well. My question is what is the most efficient way to do this? I was originally thinking about doing a 1...

What I like about Campbell's universe is that it makes some attempt at grappling with the concept of space battle at relativistic speeds. (Naturally, artificial gravity and "jump gates" are used without explanation.) At speeds of up to 0.2 C (speed of light), what you see on the screen is not refle...

BC_Goldman

My strategy is to dig up the middle and then branch to the sides about 2 rows from the end. Most of the time I can get my ore in 10 free mines. Occasionally need to spend turns on the last one. Rarely a 2nd as I recall but I'm going from memory and have been doing Boris runs for the last 3 months.

BC_Goldman

Do you use KoLMafia? It can keep track of your adventuring and be exported using a log visualizer. If you've looked through some of the logs people post, you've seen it used. Makes things a lot easer to skim through and its a lot less work for you. In order to hit a 2 day, you are going to need to c...

BC_Goldman

If I may add some quick observations: 1. Use the GAP runaways in low ML areas like Pantry or Woods. Tavern Brawl is slightly higher ML which means more substat gains. 2. You pulled a dictionary and a handsomeness potion. I'm guessing that you didn't go Wombat. Wombat will allow you to buy torso awar...

BC_Goldman

Congrats on the 2 day! Adding more skills will make lower TC much easier but breaking the 2 day barrier is a nice accomplishment itself.

BC_Goldman

Does the automation script handle rejecting the Knights and Ladies noncom?

BC_Goldman

Well, I finally broke down and gave this a try. Running a scripted 3-day SCBoris. It seemed to play day 1 pretty well and finished about 3/4 through L8. Not as far as I could get playing by hand (and I don't expect it to) but certainly a lot more convenient and faster. All I had to do was consumable...

BC_Goldman

Whee! I'm happy to announce that I made the whole 5k without stopping (other than a couple seconds so I could see to push the 'lap' button on my phone). Did it in 28:02.

I think I'm a midfoot striker in that my feet are usually flat when I stride. When I was running in regular sneakers before, I was making a concentrated effort to hit with the front of my feet but I think I was overdoing it and it took a lot more energy to maintain. I'd heard that heel strike was ba...

I've been trying to get back into running/jogging after being a couch potato for about 2 years. My goal was to get back to 1.5 mile routes that I had been doing for a few months back then. First two times I made about .5 to .75 miles before needing to stop. 3rd time I made the whole 1.5 and 4th time...

BC_Goldman

I've noticed that logs are suddenly showing aftercore stuff, like the 10 wassail which look like they came after defeating NS. I see that it seems to be messing up data in the run records. Is this mafia or visualizer doing it and is there something that can be done to avoid it? Also notice that it s...

BC_Goldman

But you can't discount the fact that you get 2 booze from the same amount of sprouts that would produce 1 patty. Yes, it costs 2 adv to craft them but you net 21 adv vs 10.5 for the single patty. And as others have said, booze is harder to come by than food in HCBoris.

Last I checked, a mimic was ~30m so buying one only for aftercore farming seems cost-prohibitive. I guess it will come down to seeing what is the best value for my meat as far as speed improvements. I may be better off buying a couple of other things before getting a mimic. I'll have to get some adv...

BC_Goldman

This looks pretty cool. I don't remember why I didn't buy a mimic when they were in the store. I'm thinking about buying one for use during runs and good meat during aftercore would be pretty handy. My main concern at this point is finding a source of candy that doesn't cost me several hundred/thous...

I saw a girl with a pink disco bandit shirt at the PA renaissance faire last year while I was standing in line. Didn't see her once I got inside though.

BC_Goldman

Thanks for the info.

How do I report just the domain? I tagged the email as a phishing attempt and I figured they would look at it and see how there was a difference between the two domains.

BC_Goldman

I'll have to remember to check it when I get home since KoL domain is blocked on my work computer.

I also got this email on both of the emails registered for BC and PC. I was immediately suspicious as there is no reason to download software for a browser-based game. Not to mention Jick would have been dropping info on a major upgrade to the game.
