Alpha access
December 2017 in Forum and Discord Help
Hi guys, so I bought access to the pax alpha, so i have access to alpha 2, and both beta, but was curious if there is anyway to get access to alpha 1 as well, instead of buying a full pack of both alpha and both beta, that feels like a bit of a waste to buy, so is there any way to buy just alpha 1 access alone?
Hi @superreu !
PAX pack purchasers will have the opportunity to exchange their pack for one of the new pre-order packages in the future. The method for doing so is not yet available (hopefully soon after the New Year!). At the moment there are no specific details on how the exchange will work.
The PAX packages that were on offer were the Beta pack at $100 and the Alpha pack at $225 but there are no exact equivalent offers on the pre-order listing. More information on how the trade will work will be announced when ready before the trade becomes available.
All I can say is that you will not be able to purchase an Alpha 1 access key as an add-on.
Add-ons will be for cosmetic items only.
Perfect, thank you for that, hopefully the exchange will have an option to buy earlier access along with it, or something similar, thanks for the response, cleared up everything I was wondering

Oracle has outlined its future virtualization strategy and claims that it is now in a position to deliver more value than VMware. Oracle's executive VP and chief corporate architect John Fowler used an online event to describe an integrated virtualization solutions portfolio that will virtualize and manage the full hardware and software stack, from desktop-to-datacenter.
Making a bid to gain a reputation for "application-aware" holistic virtualization that addresses all the layers of an enterprise datacenter, Oracle says that its has gone beyond VMware's hypervisor-only approach by providing virtualization technologies, the applications that run within, and integrated management — addressing the entire stack from applications to disk.
"By taking a holistic approach that addresses all layers of the enterprise datacenter, Oracle Virtualization can help companies transform into effective service providers that support business priorities, increase performance and reliability, and reduce costs, and inefficiencies," said Edward Screven, Oracle chief corporate architect.
Aiming to move beyond virtualization solutions focused solely on the infrastructure layer and server consolidation, Oracles new desktop virtualization offerings are as follows: Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure 3.2, Oracle Sun Ray Software 5, Oracle VM Virtual Box 3.2 and Sun Ray 3 Plus Client.
With the acquisition of Sun Microsystems now taking full effect after a year of fine tuning the company's assets to match with Oracle's own strategic roadmap, Screven also said that the company was now ready to offer server, desktop, and storage virtualization technologies.

PC Gamer E3 2016 Conference roundup
Sheldon Jones
Last year's E3, other than the backwards compatibility surprise from Microsoft and the Bethesda conference in general, was pretty bog-standard. And arguably, since the dawn of E3, every conference has really been publishers showing gamers the toys they have locked up in their development studios, only willing to show them the shiniest pieces of a toy that might look completely different in a few months with no context whatsoever. And when many writers and journalists are asked who won E3 in a given year, the cliché many go to is that "the gamers won this year."
Which is like saying the audience of a magic act wins when the magician's assistant gets hacked to pieces in front of them. In all honesty, the magician won because the audience members are walking out of the show with less money than they did walking in. But PC Gamer's conference is, honestly, the only conference where developers, publishers, and gamers are at least on a more level playing field. Fewer shiny cinematic trailers and more gameplay trailers offer better perspectives on what gameplay might actually be like, while the mini-interviews Sean "Day9" Plott has with the developers adds some depth, context, and personality to the studios that are making the games we'll love/hate/microwave/marry.
The conference in total was about an hour and a half long, so I think I'll spare writing down everything that premiered and just check off anything that stuck out to me. You can however watch the conference in its entirety here, but the studios and games mentioned should be in the order they appeared.
Day9 was the host of the conference again, which he did a wonderful job at. E3 is divided into two camps: the excited, hopeful optimists and the angry, sarcastic pricks that make comments about everything shown. And while Day9 definitely plants his flag, tent, and garden in the former category, it never came off as disingenuous. He almost really feels like "just another gamer" that gets to host a huge conference, questioning developers about what their games will be about and actually figuring out some pertinent information. If he were interviewing the devs that are making that Spiderman game for the PS4, he'd be the only guy to ask if the game will have Spiderman 2 webslinging.
Firstly, Relic Entertainment doled out some Dawn of War 3 gameplay footage. In the interview, Philippe Boulle of Relic Entertainment stated that they were going to merge the base-building of Dawn of War with the squad-based mechanics of Dawn of War 2. Which was really off-putting to me. It's like saying that have a great car and a great truck, so you'll just cut each in half and create a great automobile with the pieces. But not too much gameplay was shown, so we'll have to wait until it has some more gameplay footage to see how Relic handled the merger.
Probably the coolest concept for VR that was shown was Giant Cop. You play as a large, overbearing cop that enforces the law from above by grabbing people and flinging them like pickle slices on a window. Disrupting hippie protests with an oil truck thrown at their faces brought a certain grin to my face, and the trailer was just tongue-in-cheek enough to be a stand-out among every other straight-faced, serious game announced. Giant Cop is also planned to release on the Vive, Rift, and PlayStation VR, which will be nice not having to worry about which set of glasses limits what games you can play. Few VR games have made me think that the experience would be completely improved with the use of VR, but Giant Cop definitely is a great addition to that list.
ARK: Survival Evolved had a fun tech issue where Jesse Rupczak mic just didn't work for most of what she was talking about, which was unfortunate, since it sounded like she was trying to get out some really interesting stuff. But one of their official mods, Primal Survival, looks pretty neat. It lets players play as any dinosaur in the game, build a family of dinosaurs, and raise them as their young. It will let everyone actually play out the Jurassic World fanfic they've had running through their heads.
Obsidian is making another RPG titled Tyranny, so if you've ever played an Obsidian RPG and enjoyed it, you'll probably just buy Tyranny and love it. It's trying something new where the "bad guys won," with your character living in that world of terror and hatred. But it was only a reveal trailer dropped in as a filler, so not much is really known right now.
Dropzone looked like an interesting mesh of RTS strategy concepts and a somewhat-MOBA playstyle. Players controls three different machines that they customize before the battle and use them to overpower their opponent. Not much on the actual implementation was discussed, but the concept seemed different enough that it could shine in a genre of repetition.
Bulkhead Studios along with Square Enix announced something called Turing Test, which is their reskin of a fast-paced style Portal. The clean scientific look, the cubes players carry around, the gun that shoots different colors all sort of look somewhat like Portal, but seems much more quick-paced than Portal. And since Valve develops games by writing binary in sand while hoping that there isn't a strong wind coming through, we'll hopefully see a nice spiritual successor to Portal through Turing Test. Maybe we'll be given a pie instead.
Dual Universe looked exactly like the mix of Minecraft and No Man's Sky that most Steam users would downvote on Greenlight. It has these bland graphics that don't do too much to impress, and the concept seems like something so many other games either have done better or just already have done, not really adding anything interesting or intriguing. There's no real hook to Dual Universe; just aiming to reap some of what the crafting genre has sown.
Halo Wars 2 also seems to be in a bit of dire straits. The game looks like it still only has two factions to play as, limiting a lot of diversity in terms of combat strategies for each side. It's nice to see the strategy title finally hopping onto PC. But it'll take more than a mouse and keyboard to sway me. Probably a Flood playable faction, or even a Covenant or Human rebel group. Or just something to make it stand out from almost every strategy game ever, like space combat as well as the ground forces battles. Oh wait, Star Wars: Empire at War already did that.
At the end of the conference, Warren Spector gave a bit of a speech about the history of PC gaming and the positives of modern PC gaming. For those unaware, he's the creator of the Deus Ex series, had a big hand in game development in Ion Storm, and has been an influential game developer for over 30 years. Having that sort of historical figure discuss PC gaming was a great end to the conference, as he went through some of the older hardships of developing for PC's in the 90's and how the Age of Internet has solved so many of those hardships.
The PC Gamer conference is hopefully going to continue being the unique jewel it is in the ravished E3 wasteland. This is the conference that got Deus Ex: Mankind Divided to show off gameplay footage last year while Square Enix showed another cinematic trailer just hours before. Gamers and audience members at least get a fairer shake at the content shown to them than during most other conferences, and the Q&A style conference rather than the lecture-based approach gives developers time to discuss cool aspects of their creations.

F1: Brazilian GP denies 2016 could be final year
By RACER Staff June 28, 2016 9:32 AM
By RACER Staff | June 28, 2016 9:32 AM ET
The Brazilian Grand Prix promoter has dismissed claims the future of race is under threat after Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone said it may not take place after 2016.
The Interlagos race has a contract until 2020 but there have been criticisms of the facilities and in Baku, Ecclestone said of the event: "The chances are that it won't happen next year."
When asked about Ecclestone's comments, promoter Tamas Rohonyi said: "Bernie is very fond of the Brazilian Grand Prix and Brazil. I know he has been anxious for a long time to see Interlagos developed more and more, so what he probably meant was he was very anxious this [work] should all be done as good as possible and we have assured him it is all being done.
"We have a contract until 2020 and a contract signed with FOM is cast iron – there is not much discussion. Even if due to the economic situation we find it difficult to pay our own costs here, we'll have to do it."
Interlagos is in the final phase of a redevelopment in which the track has been resurfaced and the paddock facilities upgraded. Rohonyi believes Ecclestone, who he said is planning on visiting Brazil "very soon," will be satisfied with the work.
"After the first phase, he met the mayor of the city at the circuit and expressed satisfaction over what is being done," said Rohonyi. "He understood this volume of work cannot be done in a single year because the circuit is used [regularly]. I'm confident when it is finished, he will look at it and say, 'Wow, this is great stuff.'"
Rohonyi said talks about a contract extension are likely to happen in the week before November's race and he is the confident the new mayor, who will be elected just before the GP, will back the move.
"In Sao Paulo, we're on the seventh mayor since the race came back and we have never had any difficulty," he said. "Every single one of them supported the grand prix and wanted to extend it. I imagine discussions about an extension will take place during the grand prix week. By the time the race takes place, we'll have a mayor elected for the 2017-'21 period.
"We know the candidates who are running and every one of them has already said they are going to sit down with Mr. Ecclestone and try and extend the contract – normally it's a five-year extension."
Despite the economic situation in Brazil, which is mired in what financial analysts have described as the nation's worst recession in 25 years, Rohonyi is confident F1 will remain in the country for the foreseeable future.
"These things do not affect an international race," he said. "Brazil is going to hold the Olympics soon. There is nervousness about whether it will be ready – but I was in Rio on Sunday and it looks good."

Home Did You Know? Empress Theodora's Palace For Troubled Women
Empress Theodora's Palace For Troubled Women
Empress Theodora (r. 527-548) was a champion for women's rights, at least by the low standards of the 6th-century. She worked with her husband, Emperor Justinian (r. 527-565), to reform laws concerning adultery and divorce in ways that gave women better treatment in legal battles, and she also gave brides more protections over the dowries they brought with them into a marriage. Theodora also made sure that rapists, as well as their accomplices and enablers, were eligible for the death penalty, and she encouraged efforts to root out sex trafficking and other forms of forced prostitution in the empire. The 6th-century historian, Procopius, described one major campaign that Theodora waged against such brothels that operated their businesses through slavery and compulsion. He wrote, "They cleansed the State from the pollution of these brothels, drove out the procurers, and set free these women who had been driven to evil courses by their poverty, providing them with a sufficient maintenance, and enabling them to live chaste as well as free" (Procopius, The Buildings, I.9). Procopius's comment that the rescued women were given the chance to live a chaste and free-of-charge life was not a rhetorical trick. In fact, Theodora reportedly renovated a palace on the Anatolian side of the Bosporus Strait as a place for these women to live out a better life.
Procopius, in a second book called The Secret History, claimed that around 500 of the former prostitutes gained access to Theodora's special home for troubled women. The catch, however, was that the empress set up the place to be a convent (curiously named Repentance), and therefore the rescued women staying there were required to live as chaste as nuns. Yet, in exchange for taking the vow of chastity, these women were reportedly able to live in an environment of extreme luxury. Procopius described the lavishness of the compound that Theodora and Justinian set aside for the former prostitutes, writing, "these Sovereigns have endowed this convent with an ample income of money, and have added many buildings most remarkable for their beauty and costliness, to serve as a consolation for the women, so that they should never be compelled to depart from the practice of virtue in any manner whatsoever" (Procopius, The Buildings, I.9). The luxury of the Repentance, nevertheless, was not enough to convince all of the rescued women to remain celibate and cloistered for the rest of their lives. According to Procopius' Secret History, several of the 500 former prostitutes who were brought to the Repentance were later known to have run away from the compound so as to restart their lives on their own terms.

Q: How to make an index optional? Can I define a relation between variables, such that the expression will also be evaluated (then assuming all indices are equal) when no index is given?
$$ x_i + y_j = \delta_{ij} \stackrel{Mathematica\ recognizes \ then\ that}{\Rightarrow} x + y = \delta_{ii} = 1 $$
$$$$

INITIAL QUESTION WAS:
I define a relation for the annihilation and creation operator $a_i$ and $a_j$ like this
$$[a_i, a_j^\dagger] = \delta_{ij}.$$
The commutator can be defined with the Quantum Notation package. I want to make the index ($i$, resp. $j$) optional, such that Mathematica recognizes that
$$[a, a^\dagger] =1,$$
i.e. it assumes $i=j$ if no index is given. Is there a way to do this?

A: I have this package installed, so that's what I did, and everything worked:

I want to share the first little bit of my book I keep raving about, The Human Race. I didn't use chapters because in my opinion it flows much better this way. I would love to gain interest and prospective readers and the best way to do that is to give everyone a little preview. This is the fist few pages from my book and if you're interested in reading more, you can find a link to it here on my blog. Still available on the Kindle for downloading and I'll let the world know when it's out in print. Enjoy.
I hate what's become of the world. Most of the humans do. There's so much violence and blood and meaningless death. Not even the normal kind of death where your heart stops beating and your loved ones put you in a hole in the ground. A boring way to spend eternity but, if you're lucky, that's what you'll get.
It's just not like that anymore.
Depending on what happens to you, causing your heart to stop beating, there's a pretty decent chance you'll come back as one of two horrible things. Each monster is disgusting, covered in filth and blood, and they always stink of death. They both have the power to destroy your entire life in only a few seconds. All it takes is just one bite or a single scratch from either beast and you might as well kiss your human life goodbye.
I guess I should shed some light on how the world got this way. About five years ago, these brilliant scientists decided they needed to create the ultimate cure. For the life of me I can't remember what the cure was actually called. It was supposed to be the one thing allowing us humans the ability to live for years longer than a normal lifespan. The one thing that would eliminate our constant worrying of what new diseases we could catch. It was meant to be the cure for cancer, diabetes, chronic asthma, hell even the common cold was on the list of what this thing was going to fix. But, like all of the other wonder drugs ever to hit the market, this one had a side effect. A really, really bad side effect.
Now, this cure worked at first. People began getting healthier and their lives seemed to be getting better. No one needed to pay for medicine anymore and pharmacies across the globe started closing their doors for good. Everything appeared to be perfect. Then there came this little boy who suddenly burst into flames while at the park with his mother. The first reported side effect. If I remember right, this boy had some form of leukemia and his mother took him to one of those magical scientists with the cure. He died from severe sunlight exposure with boils and burn marks all over his body. No one could explain how or why it happened.
Soon after, numerous cases of this really bad sunburn were reported all across the world. People were quick to blame the miracle cure for this issue. Mainly because those who experienced these problems were injected with it and those who weren't, were fine in the sunlight. The cure was taken off the shelf and the world waited to see what came next.
Another added side effect. This one's a little bit worse.
An older woman out in California decided one night, she wanted to go a little crazy. She wound up biting her husband while he slept and drank every ounce of his blood. There was a picture of that woman in the paper a few days after the incident. She had this eerie appearance. Her skin was deathly pale, kind of translucent, and her eyes were hazed over a lot. Even her hair had changed to this gloomy grey color.
Everyone began noticing this new effect happening all over the place. Reports of people going crazy and stopped being themselves completely. They never went out in the sunlight anymore and craved the taste of blood over anything else. Offer them a doughnut, they'd reach for your wrist instead. If you weren't sucked dry, you were doomed to become one of them. A vicious new lifecycle.
The name "Vampire" hit the streets after more and more reports piled in. These aren't like those cozy vamps you see in the movies. You know, the ones that glitter in the sunlight or fall hopelessly in love and change their ways. The ones in the real world, the world that I live in, are pretty damn horrifying and cannot come out in the sunlight. Their pale skin starts to boil and blister and this nasty, yellow puss oozes out. It's really gross when you see it happen up close and personal, but that is the fastest way to kill one of them. You'd have to have perfect aim with a gun or crossbow and hit them in the heart on the first shot. Even then you have to get really close in order to hit the target and that is definitely not one of my favorite things.
These vamps can be tricky sometimes. They can fool with your mind. If you catch them in the right time of night, they can look and act like a normal human. They can even speak. Not loud or in complete sentences, but enough to get your mind to think they're still human. That's why you have to pay attention to the details or you'll wind up dead. I've learned how to tell the difference between the vamps and the living. First of all, their eyes can give it away. Most of them have grey or hazed over eyes and it looks like they might have cataracts. Vamps' skin is so pale, it does seem like it glows in the right lighting. Another dead giveaway. It's a shame there are hundreds of people who have fallen victim to a vamp because they couldn't see the difference.
A truly sad world this has become.
To add to the end of the world, the original group of scientists attempted to fix this problem. I find it quite humorous that the government and the rest of the world allowed the same group of people to attempt to cure what they started in the first place. One would think they would have found someone else to do the job, but apparently no one chose to think of the obvious issue with this. Those guys got it wrong the first time. God knows they're bound to screw it up again.
So naturally, it didn't take long for the next batch of monsters to come along. In fact, it happened right on the operating table. They injected some young man, a victim of the original cure, with this new magic liquid, then waited. And waited. Eventually his hand started to twitch and a very slight amount of color returned to his skin. Not much, but enough for them to believe the new cure worked. They did tests with a UV light and his skin didn't boil like it would have. Everyone thought it worked and they got super excited.
They failed to see that the boy's heart never started to beat again. They looked past how his eyes changed from grey to the darkest shade of black.
When they noticed the problems, it was already too late. That boy snapped his eyes open and ripped through the straps holding him to the table. He leapt off the table and landed on a young woman who couldn't even scream for help. He sunk his teeth into her skin and started ripping her to shreds. She didn't come back as one of them. She was one of the lucky ones.
From what I've heard about this story, the other doctors in the room tried fighting back. None of them had guns and the security guard only had a Taser which pissed the boy off even more. He attacked, he bit, game over security guard. That's all it takes is one bite. In seconds, you can find yourself writhing on the floor in pain as your body dies yet you somehow stay alive at the same time. Thus beginning another horrible lifecycle taking over the world.
This new disease seemed to spread a lot faster than the vampire outbreak. It took much less time to die and come back as a zombie than it did to slowly die and change into a vampire. I've seen them both take effect on people and both ways seem excruciatingly painful.
Now, the zombies are definitely different than the vamps. They are so far gone they don't have the ability to speak or move very fast at all. They can't comprehend what you tell them and I highly doubt they care. Even if they tried, they could never pass as a living human. Most of them begin to rot soon after they're bit and their skin starts to peel away. Not a single part of them is at all what their human self used to be. They don't care who you are when they attack and they don't care if you try to fight back. They'll come at you with everything they've got and, if you're not prepared to kill them, you might as well face the facts that you're going to be one of them soon. Very soon.
The Human Race has finally been published. It is in Kindle version right now. I'm pretty excited about it. Sold one book already and I'm hoping to sell a bunch more. Not in this game for the money, I just love the hell out of writing and getting the crazy things that are in my head out into the world so everyone can enjoy. I think people will enjoy my novel, The Human Race. Sure there are some scenes that are a little gross but hey, it's a zombie/vampire book. You can't expect them all to be cushy and warm.
I truly hope all of you fans of apocalyptic type books or vampire novels and zombie novels, or just want to read a nice tale about a girl who's just trying to make it somewhere safe with the people she cares about, find an escape in my book. Looking forward to hearing any and all comments about my work and I can't wait to get my next novel out there.

RECORDS: Toledo 3-2, 2-1 Mid-American Conference; Marshall 5-0, 2-0.
TOLEDO: If the Rockets plan to make a repeat appearance in the MAC championship game (for the third year in a row), that drive must start tonight. A second loss in the conference almost certainly would end that quest. Coach Gary Pinkel likely will follow a national trend and play both quarterbacks, Tavares Bolden and Dan Cole.
MARSHALL: Pennington, a fourth-year starter, is the start of the highlights for the Thundering Herd, but Marshall's defense deserves mention, too. It has allowed only 43 points this season. Defensive end Paul Toviessi is a pass-rush specialist.
KEY INJURIES: Toledo - None reported. Marshall - Defensive end Ron Puggi (knee, questionable).
THE BUZZ: This is a rematch of the 1998 MAC title game in all senses. The game again is in Huntington, W.Va., and Marshall again is heavily favored.

Beware of Rengi, Inc

It seems that Bob, Mana41319 & VicinSea are now stealing a level 70 guild.
After Bob stated he would do a 2 week trial & if JFF wasn't happy with anything he would step down and leave.
Instead he got Mana41319, VicinSea and there new guild to move over to JFF then renamed the guild to
Rengi, Inc. When the 2 weeks were up the old guild stated they wanted Bob & everyone to leave as he
promised. Bob said "no" then kicked out the original guild members. He used the excuse that he took a
vote (using the new members he made leader) and that it was 6 out of 6 so he was staying. To show there
intend all you have to do is read this screen shot by VicinSea ( https://prnt.sc/n8uxni) as she states that they stole a lvl 70 guild.
It is sad that Lighting (renamed JFF) took years to build there guild up to lvl 70 then to have it taken and thrown out.
So A world pass it along so others can beware of this new Rengi tactic. Now if you want to join the revolution against the
new FOE- Rengi, Inc please come along. We put out this calling to show you Rengi's new tactics & to set up a new world order.
Us against them.... Call out your guild & we will contact you.

Wait.... why were they even in a position to be able to steal the guild? If it's a trial why did they have that power in the first place?
And looking at the screenshot it looks like there's a lot of missing context to this
Edit: Ok re-reading it over I think I get the gist of what happened
> Advanced players brought in to improve the guild on a trial agreement
> Old guildies weren't stepping up to the standard the trial members wanted them to meet
> Old guildies wanted the trial members to leave
> Trial members kicked out the old members that weren't meeting the new standard instead
> Guild is now under leadership of the trial members because for some reason trial meant founder status.....
Why did they get founder status? If they were hired to be leaders they didn't need to be given founder or leader status. They could have been given moderator status for the trial period and then after it's agreed they're a good fit then given leader status
Morals around keeping agreements aside if you give Founder status to anyone you've handed over deed and title to the guild. Whether they agreed to anything or not you gave them full ownership of the guild when you made them Founder

I don't know if it's a language barrier issue but I don't understand this at all. Someone can't steal a guild from the founder, yeah they can try to cause a mutiny but at the end of the day the founder can't be tossed out, they can do the tossing. Now are you saying someone was made leader, contacted support, lied about the founder being MIA and had the guild reigns handed over to them? Then that's something to take up with support but I'd hope they would be able to confirm the founder was in fact inactive before stripping them of their power.

The system automatically passes Founder status to a Leader after 30 days of inactivity from the founder. No one would have had to contact support

I would actually like to address this because you are presenting a very 1-sided version of this. I was part of Rengi Inc and your sequence of events is very off from what happened. We were invited over by Bob because he and some of the leaders had agreed to a trial run, and that our leaders would be given leadership rights as well. When we came to the guild, the ONLY change was the daily m/p requirement (with some room for exceptions, obviously). There was IMMEDIATE hostility from some of the original members all because the only condition of the merger was that we would have Rengi in the name. The guild had become filled with many casual players who wanted all the perks of a high level guild but none of the responsibilities. The incoming Rengi players set up a lottery for original players where we donated our own FPs to them if they went 64/64 in GE (it worked out to be ~150-200 FPs each for 3 winning players), we picked up stagnant trades, boosted all GBs below level 3 to level 3 completely for free, and we tried everything we could to ensure a smooth transition.
The issue is ultimately that players are resistant to change. And when the deadlock vote occurred and Bob refused to step down, one of the original leaders kicked all of the Rengi players, then left the guild. THAT was what prompted Bob to react. I was one of the people kicked in that tantrum and I am waiting to get back in, which is disappointing to me considering I donated around 400 FPs in just the couple weeks I was there. Vic is a very level-headed player, as are Bob and Mana. I can assure you that Vic's comments are addressing how it seemed like we "stole" a guild, but that was because a group of players did everything they could to cause a failure. Most of the players making these allegations are casual players who are mad that we had the audacity to require about 1 minute of effort from them each day in the form of m/p. I can see how it looks bad due to how the chips fell, but to dismiss the rampant hostility from people that agreed to give this trial a shot would be unfair.
They agreed to a trial and then tried to make sure it failed, and when they didn't get their way they threw a tantrum and nearly broke a guild. I would be far more concerned with the attitudes of the original members than any of the Rengi players.

If Bob did state that it was a 2 week trial and that he would step down if the original members weren't happy at the end of it, then he should have kept his word.
And when the deadlock vote occurred and Bob refused to step down,
What exactly do you mean by "deadlock"? Was the vote just by the original members? If Bob had promised to step down if the original members didn't like the merge, then how is breaking that word not stealing a guild?
This should be a cautionary tale for anyone considering a guild merger. I have been involved in two. One went very badly, the other went very well. The differences were too many to get into, but suffice it to say that you should always protect yourself before jumping into one, and never do it with people you don't know and trust.

And maybe don't promise to give up the guild you're in beforehand if there's going to be some condition in which you'd be unhappy to give it up. Also if someone doesn't want to merge keep them in the old guild so people can go back if something goes wrong
@CurransLionMate @helmet bro
So the guy that's supposed to have stepped down, Bob. Was the guild that was merged into his original guild? Or did he require to jump there for the merger? I'm a little confused as to why it was agreed he had to step down if it was his guild to begin with but that's what it sounds like. Of course a agreement is an agreement and should be adhered to, but it's a very strange deal on all sides.
I don't know the full backstory of the old guild but my understanding is he is not the actual founder but a while back the founder stepped down and Bob took over. He has been leading them ever since and the leadership wanted to restore the old guild to glory. Vic and Mana are leaders from Rengi and offered the proposal that Bob accept the Rengi group they lead, and he was able to convince his guild to agree to a trial. His offer was that if the trial wasn't successful then he would step down. Again, the issue was ultimately that a couple of people that voted against the trial and lost made sure the trial failed. So when the leadership reconvened and voted to a 6-6 deadlock (with Vic and Mana being involved in the vote that the Rengi would be allowed to stay, as was agreed to), Bob refused to step down. Before anything could be worked out, one of the leaders voting against kicked all the non-leadership Rengi players and then left the guild. I haven't been back yet since I'm currently sitting in Rengi Alliance but my understanding is that Bob kicked any loyalists to this one player that lead the mutiny. Since Rengi is a well-known group, the assumption by those on the outside is that we did something shady.
As with most stories, there are multiple sides, and in this occasion the Rengi did far less to cause a rift compared to the couple of bad eggs from the original guild. My main point is that players are resistant to change, and this is a better example of the difficulty of being a guild leader. I had some personal discussions with Bob since I am a leader of my guild on another world and I offered to help any way I could. Bob's request of me and any other Rengi was to just be courteous and understanding, and to shower the old guild with gifts as is standard for Rengi guilds. We did just that, and most of them came around to us being there. The only people who are complaining are the people that didn't get their way and tried to make this arrangement fail from day 1. Overall, Bob is a very patient and courteous player. The first day we joined there were old guild members openly attacking him in the guild thread. He was kind to all of them, and addressed their concerns publicly and invited them to PM him should they want to talk further. Nothing he did during my time there would make me think he's unreasonable, but I witnessed first-hand some of these old "leader" intentionally picking fights, yelling at Rengi players, and trying to drive us away. We were told privately by Vic and Mana to let Bob handle them since it was clear that despite our good intentions some players were looking for any reason to cause a problem.
Casual players lost the guild and wanted to revenge. Failing or going to fail eventually and become irrelevant. End of the story. Stop putting energy on people who don't really mater.
The bottom line is..... Bob agreed to leave after 2 weeks if the original members where not happy. He stepped into there level 70 guild with that agreement. A level 70 guild that took a long time to get there. Both Mana & VicinSea had made there own guild but abandoned it ( only a lvl 17) as fast as they could to join the old Lighting guild. It doesn't matter how much someone m/p another player or how many pts someone put into a GB. If you agree to leave after 2 weeks IF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS ARE NOT HAPPY THEN YOU LEAVE......PERIOD..... Since they weren't happy they did what was agreed... but Bob would not only step down he went in and booted all the old members before they could finish booting out the new ones as agreed. Now if you go to there guild page it says they are the #1 GVG guild in A world. The only problem with that saying..... They are taking the old Lighting 194 days in first place. So in the end they stole a guild and are now using the old guilds stats and claiming them for there own. I guess once a cheater always a cheater.
So in the end they stole a guild and are now using the old guilds stats and claiming them for there own.
The reason this story does not make sense is where is the FOUNDER? I don't mean whoever originally founded the guild I mean the person with founder stats. Founder can't be booted by a leader founder boots the leaders. It's not some abstract concept of power it's part of the mechanics of the game.
If your founder handed over his literal crown to some newcomer and stepped himself down to leader he didn't just hand over control during the trial run he handed over OWNERSHIP. There is literally no reason to have done that, leader stats give a person everything they need in order to lead the ONLY things leaders can't do is dissolve the guild and STEAL THE GUILD FROM THE FOUNDER.
Unless your founder was so inept at game mechanics he handed over his founder stats which means like it or not he handed over ownership of the guild that moment, to virtual strangers or they played some kind of con game with support it is not possible for a leader to steal a guild from a founder. A leader cannot grant themselves founder rights those can only come from the founder or support.
If the founder is still there then the solution is easy, he/she boots everyone even if they get into a boot off with the new leaders (start with them first then go down the line) wait 1 week, lonely, and invites their original members back in. Since the founder is the only one who can't be booted by a leader, they win the boot off no matter how many the leaders get in, founder will be the last one standing.
If your founder handed off his rights to a 70 whatever level guild right off the bat then you are better off. If someone comes to test drive your ferrari and says 'Hey I know this is just a test but better sign the title over to me just in case' and you do it...

Been here and done this before several times..only one merger turned out the way it was planned. From temporary step downs for real life issues to importing new active blood, these mergers can go awry unless you put this in writing. Send a mass PM to all players explaining all the details- KEEP A COPY. Screenshot it and have a trusted member do the same. I served as an intermediary to try to settle a merger dispute and without time stamped PROOF the devs would not install the original founder. They have the power to do this but you must have your ducks lined up. It's a shame to see another one here in FoE...

For what it's worth, I was a happy member in the Chosen one guild when I was asked about a merger. I am only one person so I'm not sure how it is a merger when I join a guild. Nonetheless, after some consideration I decided I would join if and only if I was made the sole founder. I clearly explained that being a founder of a successful guild is a lot of work. There are no circumstances in which I would put in the time required to revive a near-dead guild unless I was in position to do things my way. I explained in detail exactly how I would run the guild and the old Founder agreed but was worried about the possibility that I might not follow through on my promises. For peace of mind, I said that I would add 30 new members and increase the speed of the 190% thread in less than 2 weeks or I would leave on my own accord. I successfully accomplished those goals in about 24 hours. Things went sour however, when I changed the name of the guild - but seemed to settle quickly or at least that's what I thought. Then after I had been in the guild for about 2 weeks the old founder asked me to step down and restore the founder rights. I was very surprised because from my perspective the merger had been a huge success and everyone seemed happy. Still I would not want to be the founder in a guild where the people didn't want me to have that position. So I suggested a vote. The vote went unanimously in my favor but the old leaders/founder chose not vote. When it became apparent that the vote was going to go in my direction the old leaders started kicking innocent people from the guild. For this reason I kicked out those individuals. One person subsequently left the guild and the rest still remain. It was an unfortunate situation all around. I was however, forthright and honest and would consider showing the negotiations or voting thread as proof. It should be noted that Mana41319 and VicinSea joined the guild after the "merger." The screen shot of the VicinSea conversation I'm assume are the actual thoughts and beliefs of VicinSea but it's complete non-sense. Not one person in that conversation was involved with the negotiation. If you want to know the facts please find me. I have not surreptitiously stolen a guild and I have nothing to hide.
bobwwooodall, Apr 26, 2019
Well, Bob, regardless of your good intentions, hard work and success, the original founder asked for his guild back, correct..? That was part of the agreement, correct..? So why suggest a vote...? What does voting have to do with an agreement between the old founder and you..? was it originally part of the agreement...? If not, then stepping down was the ONLY right move. I played mediator in a similar scenario except the founder had RL issues... Slated to return in three months, he was denied his original status and voted out by the new regime. Voted and booted from the league he created and nurtured and for three years. It was finally resolved but not without players quitting or leaving and a lot of bad blood. Sorry, man, but a deal is a deal..and you broke it..

That's not what bob just posted, but it's plausible it could have been.
It works both ways. If Bob fulfilled the entire agreement conditions to stay then the original founder has no right to ask for it back. On the other hand if part of the agreement was the founder could ask for it back for any reason then Bob should hand it back
From what they said the vote was to evaluate what the guild thought of his work and whether he was welcome
We have two versions of the agreement being stated. Bob says there were certain things he promised to accomplish. The other version is that the original guild members had to be happy with the "merge". No way of knowing which is accurate.
If I'm not mistaken the original founder left the guild more than 2 years ago? Then the second founder left the guild a few months back. I'm not certain on that history because most of it goes back to before I started playing the game but the founder before myself had only been founder for a few months. When I joined the guild there were only 11 people in the guild and the only thing that appeared on the main chat were the people that joined and left the guild over the past few months.
To be clear I did not break any agreement. I did not at any point say that I would give the guild back if the previous founder asked for it. I said I would leave if I was not successfully able to add 30 new members and improve the 190% thread. My words were calculated such that I was not the person that took the risk because I knew people that had already expressed interest in joining. It is possible that people misunderstood the negotiations but I did exactly what I said I would do. On a positive note, the guild is currently very active and very happy. We have room to improve but don't worry we will!

Greetings! I am Vic! I am sorry this has been aired here.
How do we decide who ownes a guild? Is the owner the shell player that was left behind when the rest of the players moved to more active guild? Or, is the owner the players that join. a guild, and make it rock under a chosen Founder?
JFF was a dead guild. A few players wanted something better and asked for help from Bob. He agreed and applied the best help possible, FoE-Rengi Family status. 190 drops for every position, Stix to Brix 0-3, nearly free BP for any building, Free Trade...get any goods you need, experienced advice and genuine concern for helping guild members.
Old members rejected all of that because we also expect members to complete 48/48, take trades in your age , mo/mo, and help build Stix.
I am sorry the old members could not accept these very simple requirements. I am also sorry that the players left behind in this guild were bottom tier of D*Ks players.
This guild was not stolen. This guild was given away. If there is anyone to be mad at...it is the fools left in charge.

Stay Rita and Emberguard like this.
Also, we are currently accepting players IA and up. GE and mo/po required. We will help with GE!

How much income replacement should I be receiving for my disability?
If you experience an injury that leads to a long term disability making it difficult or impossible to continue working and you are insured, you should be able to receive income replacement for the course of your disability. Coverage should include monthly income replacement that is either a percentage of pre-disability earnings or a specified dollar amount. Each plan is different, however, and you should pay close attention to the details of your specific plan.


Hi, when rebuilding my cb750F rear brake caliper I found that the rear brake piston is taller than the ones for the front (41mm vs 35mm) due to having thinner brake pads.
I bought 3 sets of EBC brake pads and new 35mm pistons for the brake calipers since I didn't know this until I disassemble them.
Can I fit a 35mm Piston into the caliper with normal thickness brake pads? Can't find the 41mm piston anywhere. HELP!
Re: 1980 CB750F rear brake piston: 41mm?
Thanks, after carefully examine the piston size (38.10mm x 41.00mm), I didn't find anyone matches the size on the website lol.
Thanks, I will definitely talk to him to solve this mystery lol.
So, piston #1 (38.1x41.3) won't fit? Certain of your measurement? And, taking .3mm off on a lathe would tke 5 minutes.
my measurement is exactly 41mm +-0.02mm, it seems a little bit taller and parts number won't match.
Emailed and asked them about this. Ordered both brake pads and 41mm pistons, they fit great! Thank you!

The intricate art and careful craft of an illumination is reflected in this versatile jacket. Knit-in Celtic knotwork trim highlights the hem and cuffs. Color-flecked yarns of silk, linen and cotton bring a rustic yet sophisticated air with subtle luster. Bias cut for fluid drape with no fasteners - wear open or with a pin. Cuffs can be folded back to reveal reverse pattern. Curved hem. 29" long in back. Midweight silk/linen/cotton; handwash. One size. Handcrafted in Scotland.
Very pretty and wonderful quality. Warm without being heavy. It doesn't fit quite like it does on the model though! Not as long as I had expected. But still very nice.


The only thing we know for certain about Brexit is that there is currently a great deal of uncertainty.
The Brexit negotiations are necessarily complex and the task of keeping up with the developments as they impact each sector can be overwhelming. Using the example of the haulage industry and by following developments in the negotiations as they relate to haulage we can gain an insight as to the direction of travel and possible eventual outcome of Brexit.
This blog considers the rules that allow UK hauliers to travel freely across the EU and the possible future legislative framework post Brexit. If you have further concerns on issues such as recruitment and retention of EU nationals working in the UK and how to deal with a possible return to Customs checks then the Road Haulage Association (RHA) have prepared a helpful briefing note on steps hauliers can take to address these issues ahead of next year.
Because of the central role haulage plays for all sectors in our economy it is one of the areas where substantive steps require to be undertaken. Since the start of 2018 the Government have started to make contingency arrangements should they fail to make a deal with the EU.
Following a debate in Parliament on 1 November 2017 a series of reports were published which included a report on the Road Haulage and Passenger Transport Sector. This report is a useful starting point to understand the regulations relating to the Haulage industry which are set out from page 13 onwards in the report.
The rules governing the regulation of haulage in the UK are mainly set out in two EU regulations. The regulations cover the criteria Operators must comply with namely: Good repute, financial standing, professional competence and to have an effective and stable place of business (Regulation 1071/2009). These standards will be familiar to anyone who has applied for an operator's licence or had any dealings with the Traffic Commissioners office who enforce these standards in the UK.
The second relevant regulation creates the concept of "Community Licences" which allow our hauliers to access the international road haulage market in the EU (Regulation 1072/2009). This regulation allows the UK to issue community licences and is the reason we all have a European Flag on the top right of our driving licence photo cards.
Other relevant EU laws include Directive 2003/59/EC which governs the certificate of professional competence rules (CPC) and Directive 2006/126/EC which results in mutual recognition of driving licences amongst EU member states.
So, what happens when we leave the EU? In respect of Regulation 1071, in the short term there is unlikely to be any noticeable difference. The UK is likely to maintain the same standards as the rest of Europe to regulate and enforce safety standards on our drivers and the maintenance of trucks and trailers. The issue is whether we maintain this alignment with EU regulations in the longer term.
The reason for uniform regulation across the EU is to enable borderless trade between countries and to create a level playing field. No single country is able to reduce standards and therefore costs because to allow this would increase the risk to the public but also result in unfair competition. It therefore follows that if the EU is to allow UK hauliers the same access and freedoms that they currently enjoy on continental Europe we will be expected to comply with the same standards so that European operators are not at risk of unfair competition from the UK.
The most pressing issue is that on 29 March 2019, in the absence of a deal, the UK Government will no longer be able to issue Community Licences under Regulation 1072/2009 and our existing UK Community Licences will no longer be recognised in the EU. This is an example of the so-called cliff edge scenario that UK businesses face.
If you are in any doubt about whether the risks are real or simply scaremongering the European Commission spelled out the reality of the consequences of withdrawal in their "Notice to Stakeholders" dated 19 January 2018.
It is possible that the risks as set out in the Commission's "Notice to Stakeholders" will be addressed through transitional arrangements which enable UK hauliers to continue as before for a period until a final settlement is agreed between the UK and EU. However, during any transitional period, it is highly likely that the UK will require to adopt and follow any changes to rules whilst having no part in the creation of those rules.
So, what is the best-case scenario for the UK haulage industry and how does the Government deal with a no deal or cliff edge outcome?
The RHA published a proposal in November 2017 following a consultation with its members in May of last year. The RHA proposal favours the use of a Land Transport agreement between the UK and EU that preserves the current rights enjoyed by UK Hauliers, except for cabotage which may require to be agreed on a separate basis. This model follows that of the EU – Swiss land transport agreement. This proposal is the best case scenario post Brexit.
It is not certain that an agreement, such as that favoured by RHA, will be achievable and the risk of the cliff edge is one for which our Government must prepare.
The process of preparing for the worst case senario has begun in earnest with the publication of an Explanatory Memorandum on the Convention and the Road Traffic and Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Bill.
In the same way that the World Trade Organisation provides a default agreement for international trade the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic provides a basis for regulation of road traffic and international haulage for any countries who wish to be become a signatory.
Wikipedia has a useful summary on the convention and the countries who have adopted its terms.
Until now the UK chose not to be a signatory to the convention however our road traffic rules broadly follow the template set out in 1968 by the convention. Therefore, a quick scan of the convention document will highlight many rules with which we are already familiar.
The importance of adopting the convention is to take advantage of the International Driving Permits scheme which it introduced. The permit scheme also requires a parallel trailer registration scheme which would be introduced should it become necessary to enact the Road Traffic and Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Bill into law.
This contingency is by no means an acceptable alternative to the current arrangements as the permits must be renewed every year, they do not give hauliers the same rights as they have under EU membership and there is a quota on the number of permits available. A useful briefing note has been prepared for the House of Lords who will be considering the new Bill.
It is difficult to prepare for the unexpected and no one wishes to waste time and resources preparing for something which might not happen. As the RHA have explained there are some steps which you can do now to prepare and train for what is coming including; training your staff to improve the administration of paperwork for inter continental shipments to align your process with those you will have for non EU exports.
Gaining an understanding of the worst case scenario quota based system will give you a competitive edge in terms of being ready to get in first when applying for a permit or by exploring opportunities to partner with a EU 27 based operator.
Reading this note and considering the links set out above will help to protect the interests and future of your business. As the negotiations progress I will revisit and revise this note with the aim of keeping you ahead of your competitors.


Today we are talking about the video resolutions. To make it easier to understand, resolution simply means how clear you can see it with your eyes. We usually use definition to measure resolutions, therefore we have high-definition and standard-definition videos.
High-definition is video of higher resolution and quality than standard-definition. While there is no standardized meaning of how high it has to be, generally any video image with considerably more than 480 horizontal lines (North America) or 576 horizontal lines (Europe) is considered high-definition(HD).
A UHD or 4K display is one with at least 8 million active pixels(3840×2160). For televisions, that resolution has standardized to 3,840 by 2,160. Digital cinema 4K (the resolution in 4K movie theaters) is slightly higher at 4,096 by 2,160. However you define it, it's four times the number of pixels on a 1080p display, and over 23 times the resolution of standard definition television.
Because the resolution is much higher and requires more bandwidth to transmit, you will definitely need a powerful TV or video player to play this 4K video. Leawo Blu-ray Player could be one of the best out there. Besides the full support of almost all video and audio formats, it can play 4K video perfectly as well. This free Blu-ray Player software supports to play quality-lossless video images with resolution of 720P, 1080P, 1080i and 4K (2160P). with the excellent 4K content support and 4K display, you can have an Ultra HD video watching experience easily at home.
Step 1: Launch Leawo Blu-ray Player and you will see the main interface like this. Since this is a totally free product, there is no need to have it registered. All the great features are available to use.
Step 2: Click the settings icon on the bottom right to adjust the settings of Playback, File Associations, Audio Output, DVD Blu-ray, Subtitles, International, Snapshot, Skin, Power Manager and General.
Not necessarily all the settings are for audio files, select the audio-related options to adjust is pretty enough, or just leave it as the default settings if you have no idea where to start.
Step 3: Click the green Open File tab to add 4K video source from your computer and start playing thereafter. Right click on the video playing screen to access more video settings.
8K resolution or 8K UHD is the current highest ultra high definition television (UHDTV) resolution in digital television and digital cinematography. 8K refers to the horizontal resolution of 7,680 pixels, forming the total image dimensions of (7680×4320). Otherwise known as 4320p.
What does 8K video look like and where can you watch them? The easiest way is to watch those 8K videos on YouTube. 4K video support has been around for some time, even on computers. YouTube added 4K video support to its famous online video website in July 2010. Few people know the company also added 8K video resolution support in 2015.
Here is some background info of the first 8K video on YouTube: it's called Ghost Towns, produced by YouTube member Neumannfilms, shows some town units (homes, wagons, etc.) that have been abandoned. While these places and items remain, the people who once inhabited them are gone. Yes, a deserted town is indeed a ghost town.
3. 8K video needs a superior display device(hardware) and advanced player(software), and that's the most important thing before anything else to enjoy a lossless 8K video playback.
Therefore, 8K video might be the future without doubt, but it still has a long way to go before it gains more supports and recognition just like HD and 4K videos.

Р-БОТ 001 — робот-полицейский, использовавшийся для охраны общественного порядка в Перми в 2007 году. Разработан московской компанией Лаборатория Трёхмерного Зрения. Робот способен вести наблюдения за улицами города, выявлять правонарушения и обращаться к гражданам с призывами соблюдать закон.

Описание конструкции

Разработка робота велась на протяжении около двух лет и стоила более 10 000 долларов. Робот имеет вертикальную яйцевидную форму, его высота около 1,8 м. Масса — 250 кг. Стальной корпус и обтекаемая форма защищают робота от похищения или вандализма. Продолжительность работы без подзарядки — 8 часов. Передвигается на четырёх колёсах с полным приводом и изменяемым дорожным просветом со скоростью до 5 км/ч. Оснащён пятью видеокамерами, запись с которых может использоваться в суде. Камеры защищены бронированным стеклом. Робот хранит в памяти Гражданский кодекс Российской Федерации и может зачитывать его с помощью синтезатора речи. Также Р-БОТ 001 оснащён тревожной кнопкой, которую граждане могут использовать для вызова полиции. Робот может работать как в автоматическом режиме, так и с удалённым управлением. По словам разработчиков, робот пока имеет ряд недостатков: неправильное произношение при синтезе речи; не способен, к примеру, отличить драку от танцев, поэтому о происшествии сообщает на пульт для принятия решения.

История применения

Первые испытания робота прошли в День города, 12 июня 2007 года на набережной Камы в районе речного вокзала. При этом в результате попадания воды он вышел из строя (был повреждён динамик). В ходе ремонта робот оснащён гидроизоляцией. Испытания продолжились 22 июня на улице Зои Космодемьянской, вблизи здания УВД Дзержинского района. Руководство пермской милиции намерено присваивать роботу звания: в настоящее время (на июнь 2007 года) он стажёр, а в будущем получит звание курсанта.

Летом 2008 был отправлен в Москву, на доработку. Дальнейшая эксплуатация и разработка была прекращена в связи с отсутствием финансирования.

Преемником робота является серия универсальных роботов R.Bot 100 и RBOT-200

This Traditional licence sits adjacent to the UK/Norwegian median line and in close proximity to the Norwegian Eirin field, which is currently under development. The main focus on the block is the large gas condensate 'Boaz' prospect which comprises a large untested Triassic fault bound structure. Well 16/8-10 penetrated the overlying stratigraphy hydrocarbon bearing, however the well never reached the underlying Triassic Skagerrak Formation interval.
The committed work programme comprises obtaining and reprocessing seismic data and undertaking additional geotechnical studies. Once this work has been completed it is likely that the company will be seeking partners to join in the drilling of an exploration well to test the 'Boaz' prospect.


This class allows students aged five and over the ability to develop their technique and choreography skills. The course includes complex barre and floor work, basic anatomy and dance history. Pointe work is offered as a separate class for students already enrolled in senior level Ballet. We are pleased to offer Ballet Examinations through The Society of Russian Ballet for those students wishing to advance to further levels.
