when the HSX reboot is over, and the election is over, I hope we can get down to the serious business of ST - persecuting food heresies - crash davis Oct 22, 13:59 10
- Brave words coming from Mr "I still don't believe in Cincy chili". -- nm - Ender Oct 22, 14:06 1
  - I think that you guys all emailed each other and said "lets try to make crash believe people put chili on spaghetti" - well, nice try -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 14:07
- I'm going after the Hydrox Heresy myself. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 22, 14:06 1
  - I've never had a Hydrox -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 14:08
- your poor wife, what has she done? -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 14:00 4

    - I forwarded her the link to fan it herself. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 14:07
    - I forwarded her the link to fan it herself. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 14:07

- it's the same principle as putting the sour carton of milk back in the fridge in the hopes it gets better. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 14:02 1
  - Hey, buttermilk! -- nm - psilotum Oct 22, 14:06
- I'm guessing anyone who still enjoyed the game is interested in it. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 14:00
- Right now I'm using it to unleash the fury. -- nm - Loyola Oct 22, 13:59
- Some of us who still play are over there to see if changes are being implemented. -- nm - Diva Oct 22, 13:59 5
  - yep, there is is hope for the game still -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 14:09
  - I wanted to start playing again after the reboot, but god they made it *hard* -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 22, 14:01 2
    - It's too cumbersome atm. I'm hoping they'll do something about it. -- nm - Diva Oct 22, 14:03 1
      - I haven't managed my port since February, and when I think I have to liquidate it and retake positions with the current interface... *gun in mouth* -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 22, 14:04
  - I've made an average of one trade per month the past few years. I still want to see what happens. -- nm - psilotum Oct 22, 14:00

- When was Vegas? - JaxSean Oct 22, 13:59
- What time is it now? -- nm - nubby Oct 22, 13:58
Bye. -- nm - lileve Oct 22, 13:56 2
- frick, figures I see this after making the post above -- nm - zork Oct 22, 14:00
- be safe! -- nm - M Oct 22, 13:57
So I jumped over to HSX just to look, and is it just me, or did there used to be more stuff in the "Community" drop down at the top? - JaxSean Oct 22, 13:55 3
- They took Leaderboards off. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 13:55 2
  - If they take out everything that is not working as intended, it will be just... orange.. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 13:57 1
    - well, some would say the orange "isn't working", either. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 13:58
How do you insert paragraphs on the new HSX? -- nm - Loyola Oct 22, 13:54 14
- Thanks. -- nm - Loyola Oct 22, 13:57
- Not sure if this will work, but: <br> -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 13:56 5
  - these days shouldn't that be ? -- nm - zork Oct 22, 13:57 4
    - carp, [br /] but with angle brackets -- nm - zork Oct 22, 13:58 3
      - shouldn't matter. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 22, 14:00 2
        
        Exactly. If HSX allows HTML in comments, and the HTML in them breaks their DOCTYPE, it's their own damned fault. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 14:02
        
        you mean, you don't want to be fully compliant? for shame! -- nm - zork Oct 22, 14:02
- [br][br] but with the greater-than/less-than. like html. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 22, 13:55 5
  - Hee. I think you thought this was TT where the weren't allowed. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 13:58 4
    - That's why I wasn't sure if it would work :) I was using HTML entities (ampersand-lt-semicolon) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 14:03
    - Bery! The aren't allowed! -- nm - mara Oct 22, 13:58 2
      - hee -- nm - JaxSean Oct 22, 14:00 1
        
        I deserved that "hee." Perhaps more than any "hee" I've ever received. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 14:01
- Try entering twice, I think -- nm - mara Oct 22, 13:55
I'm trading but nothing is showing up. -- nm - lileve Oct 22, 13:51
Hey, how 'bout that! Just plain "hsx.com" works now! -- nm - Mop Oct 22, 13:50 2
- I like how they're keeping "Beta" in the logo, as if to suggest something will actually change. -- nm - Mop Oct 22, 13:51 1
  - So long as it says Beta, it's our obligation to find the bugs and holes. - Beryllium Oct 22, 13:52
Hey! D.Mac just posted on the Support board. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 13:50 10

- "For what ever reason, an older version went through to live." Was that supposed to instill confidence? - CovingtonCat Oct 22, 13:57 1
  - I *love* sentences that begin with "for whatever reason." There's some thoughtful analysis, right there, boy. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 14:03
- Link please. It's hard to find anything on that. -- nm - lileve Oct 22, 13:51 6
  - What a moron I am. I'm so blind! -- nm - lileve Oct 22, 13:52
  - here -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 22, 13:52 4
    - *flags as offensive* -- nm - Diva Oct 22, 13:53
    - It;'s my own stupid question! I'm so blind! -- nm - lileve Oct 22, 13:53 2
      - Nope. My blood sugar must me low. I need to slow down. -- nm - lileve Oct 22, 13:53 1
        
        ommmmmmm .. -- nm - M Oct 22, 13:56
More no googling geography fun: Poland once (briefly) had a toehold in the Americas. Where was it? -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 13:50 15
- OK, hint. It was an island. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 13:54 9
  - (spoiler answer) - Reagen Oct 22, 14:05
  - no one's close. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 14:04
  - Rhode Island -- nm - M Oct 22, 14:01
  - Roanoke. -- nm - Diva Oct 22, 13:58
  - "was"? Hmm. -- nm - nubby Oct 22, 13:56 3
    - Bikini! -- nm - nubby Oct 22, 14:01 2
      - Whoa, talk about dumb. -- nm - Max Oct 22, 14:03 1
        
        Kid, your FACE is dumb. -- nm - nubby Oct 22, 14:04
  - PEI. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 13:56
- The East Side of Buffalo, NY. -- nm - Diva Oct 22, 13:54
- The Lower East Side. -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 22, 13:52
- Hamtramck, MI? -- nm - VMan Oct 22, 13:51
- still do and it's called Roncesvalles -- nm - zork Oct 22, 13:51
- random guess: Illinois. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 13:51
I actually tried to make a couple of trades. So far I could make the same trade multiple times and none of them show up in my port. -- nm - pmb Oct 22, 13:49 2
- I got kicked out again trying to go to the Forums. Eff it. At least for now. -- nm - Diva Oct 22, 13:50
- I had the same problem in the beta. -- nm - nubby Oct 22, 13:50
I'd really like to be a fly on the wall at HSX today. As silent as they've been on the boards, there has to be some hand-wringing and blamestorming - emoticripple Oct 22, 13:45 12
- They are currently working on getting the site stable. - ty97 Oct 22, 13:51
- "It's Chef's fault" -- nm - budice Oct 22, 13:50
- You know what I bet they're saying? "Users are stupid." -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 13:46 9
  - "hah hah the design is perfect what are they talking about they must be stupid because they dont know how to use it" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 13:49
  - "We're not hearing from all the people that love the new site because they don't post, only the complainers post." - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 13:48 1
    - laughing. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 13:49
  - I think they're saying, "We don't care if they like it. The numbers are good." -- nm - mara Oct 22, 13:48 5
    - I doubt it they are saying that. I figure they are formulating a plan to address the issues -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 13:52
    - Because eveyone keeps going to the site and giving them traffic. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 13:49 3
      - Not me. But yeah, that was my point. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 13:51
      - i've made 2 trades today.. i doubt anybody else has done serious trading. those numbers will be glaring. -- nm - colin Oct 22, 13:51 1
        
        They don't care if you're trading or not - if you're on the site giving them hits it doesn't matter what you're doing there. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 13:53
Motivational: HSX Fail -- (link) - budice Oct 22, 13:45 [Image]
woohoo! new temp on Friday! -- nm - Max Oct 22, 13:43 9
- I'll totally forgive you for ditching me if there are a multitude of pics to make up for it. -- nm - Inigo Oct 22, 13:49 2
  - aw, shit! -- nm - Max Oct 22, 13:50 1
    - You'll have to do some early recon to decide if it's worth it. -- nm - Inigo Oct 22, 13:51
- ever wonder why the turnover rate is so high? -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 13:46 1
  - I think the turnover rate is so high because the "turn over' rate is high, if you get my meaning. -- nm - nubby Oct 22, 13:47
- ahh, the euphoria before the reality of rejection sets in once more -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 13:45 3

Trivia 2: Name the 6 Portuguese speaking African countries. this should be easier (I was able to guess 3). -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 13:43 21
- spoilers because I may have to leave in a minute. - loosilu Oct 22, 13:50 5
  - the last two are one country. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 13:51 4
    - I saw them listed separately somewhere. can we get a ruling? -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 13:52 3
      - they might have been separate colonies, but they are definitely one country. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 13:54 1
        
        ah, I think I was looking at a list of colonies. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 13:55
      - Sao Tome and Principe march together in the olympics i think (always) - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 22, 13:53
- Mozambique, Angola, Namibia, Guinea bissau... -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 22, 13:47 6
  - Wait, i forgot about the islands... Sao Tome and Cape Verde? -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 22, 13:50 4
    - Sao Tome and Principe, that is. -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 22, 13:51 3
      - ain't Sao Tome and Principe in the caribic? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 22, 13:52 2
        
        They are off the coast of Africa, and Reagen is right. They are one country. -- (link) - loosilu Oct 22, 13:53 1
        
        hey that is a good colony when playing Europa Universalis 2 - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 22, 13:54
  - yes yes no yes. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 13:47
- hmm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 22, 13:46 7
  - madagascar? -- nm - peglegpete Oct 22, 13:47 3
    - French. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 13:48 2
      - Hey, now, let's not resort to insults. -- nm - nubby Oct 22, 13:50 1
        
        How do you speak freedom? -- nm - Inigo Oct 22, 13:52
  - You got the easy 4. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 13:46 2
    - my name is not Wiki :) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 22, 13:48 1
      - there must have been a colony in eastern africa somewhere - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 22, 13:49
Wootoff, come on, shape up. -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 22, 13:42
