1. Name of your character involved - Hospitaller_Devilize
2. Name of offending character(s) - TheAllen_PxC_MB
3. Time and server, as accurately as possible - NA_1, 5pm eastern
4. Written description of what happened, the whole story. Also what happened before and after. - rejoined the server after being killed
5. Why you think the offender did what he did. - upset that I killed him early in the round
6. Multiple Screenshots - https://www.dropbox.com/s/5119s8jqvipimn7/crpg_beta%202014-04-25%2016-59-41-44.bmp
7. Names of players that can witness what happened. - N/A

Rejoining the server is fine, respawning is not. It shows in your screenshot him rejoining the server, but no evidence that he spawned twice. Ban happy there, little devilize?

My old computer has a Corsair TX650. I had to send it back to be replaced once because it made my room smell very strongly of, like, cooking smoke (though it seemed to be operating fine under such conditions, I have no idea what happened there). It didn't turn me off of Corsair entirely and they sent me a new one with all due haste, but from what I was reading they generally aren't as top-of-the-line quality as they used to be, on top of being more expensive for their actual higher end products than before.

I looked into every part before I decided on any so that I could make informed decisions, and I couldn't find any problems with the PSU I got. Then the price was nice, plus it had a $20 rebate.

I didn't want to mess with liquid cooling. The horror stories got to me, man. I was already most worried about the installation of that part more than any other, having not done it before, and I wasn't going to start in the deep end (get it aquatic references for water cooling huehuehue). I will eventually play around with overclocking but I'm not going to be pushing it to the EXtrEmE so I don't think I'll run into any issues. Plus this cooler has the most positive reviews and the most reviews in general of any part I looked at, it seems like damn near everybody uses this thing with good results. The price couldn't have been better under such circumstances.

It is a matter of laze.




YEAH I already got and spent my tax return on this thing, hurray!

hi ildist

Hey, as long as you're happy with what you got and can prove why it was a good choice, you're already winning.

Yea, installation was a pain in the ass. Really needed a second pair of hands, and luckily, my neighbour has the exact same model so he was able to give me the help I needed. It's pretty tough, what with holding the fan in place, holding the radiator on top of the fan, then holding it over the area it will sit, then screwing it in. NOT. FUN.

wow i brought this clan back to life where is my prize

Here is the full build with roughly the prices I paid, including shipping, combo discounts and rebates that I haven't received yet: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3rXYD
*The case is depicted there as white with a window, but it is black and without one

edit: oh yeah, plus windows which was $120



Having a spare "fully" functional PC is something I really enjoyed last time I got a new computer, in like 2008/9. I had to install a new power supply twice before (valuable lesson for learning what everything is inside) and I'd made upgrades to the old one right when I got it, so this time I wasn't going in completely blind. It's a pity how 90% of what I learned about parts from before is entirely irrelevant now, though.


Status update: Played cRPG. cRPG, I will never quit you. Turned settings up to 11 and my GPU gave no fucks and didn't break a sweat. Only with maximum anti-aliasing did it get around 40% load. Will play more fancier games tomorrow/today?

I had to remake my character's face from memory. Retirement finally started to dilute that genepool a little I guess!

Those are some pretty nice specs you have there. The only suggestions I'd make would be to throw out the ThermalTake and go straight for a Corsair HX series for PSU simply because I trust no one else. Also the CPU cooler, can get some pretty nice cheap liquid coolings for only $80.

If you still have your old HDD, you should be able to recover the characters, though I'm sure you know this already.

Grats Canary! Somehow, these things work out even if not done perfectly. How much space do you have on your SSD? I pretty much put my OS and all the files I actively use on mine (240GB), and use my HDD as storage for things I don't really use much. If you need another, I definitely recommend waiting until Black Friday since I always see great SSD deals at that time.


It'll be another few years before I upgrade since I have no need for playing games on ultra high settings.

Agreed on the second paragraph here. I'm still thinking of upgrading my Graphics and CPU by the end of the year from my tax rebate, but I doubt I have a need to anymore. I can run most games at High without issues, and now heat isn't even a problem anymore. Unless I plan to play the full experience of thief:http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=831&game=Thief%202014 I highly doubt it's going to happen anytime soon.

It's nice to see more people getting involved in their tech and spending the time to ensure they get good parts though. I'd take some pictures of my new beast "TITANIUM", but he's not really a good looker.
Though, if you're curious, here's how he looks without parts: http://www.corsair.com/en/obsidian-series-750d-full-tower-atx-case

This all started because I was looking into upgrading my old GPU. I remembered that the biggest bottleneck on my old machine was the slow hard drive (5400 RPM WD green, hueahuhuheauheuheuhe) and that the core 2 quad and DDR2 RAM weren't so great either. By the time I looked into how shitty my motherboard was I realized I could just keep the old box the way it is (for when friend comes over? Yeah!) and build a whole PC from parts, which I'd not actually done before. Looking everything up was a lot of fun for me.



Status update: Prime95 stress testing reveals that I installed the HSF and in particular spread the thermal paste the right way, hurray! 54c peak temperature on one core is pretty cool. I have yet to do anything GPU intensive, will play video games soon. I'll install Warband onto SSD for maximum agi build computing. 

Windows 8 (or 8.1, I guess) not as bad as I was fully prepared for. I am still getting things set up the way I want, but it's going smoothly.

Building your first PC is always a great experience. Until you start to doubt your creation, or until you realize the PSU you bought can't keep a toaster alive for more than a year (rip diabolotek). Yea, windows 8 isn't that much of a BIG change, you'll only start to realize the annoying parts of it if you start dealing with the administration tasks etc. that you probably won't touch.

That's pretty awesome that you were able to keep the whole old box up and running though. I'm about to sell off my old parts to a buddy of mine whose never owned a desktop so I figured I'd grab $50 for a shitty case and some old 4GB ram chips. I'd build another box completely, but it seems there's a hole in my pocket cause there's never enough money! haha. Now that you've got some good specs, does that mean you'll finally ditch this game?

Surprise, surprise. The $8 accessory pack came before the free part replacement.

we have
POST!
and UEFI BIOS!
and it recognized all the hardware!

Now to download windows.

Ow.

Good luck, I just replaced my case and stock fan for my CPU for a nice liquid cooling system from corsair. Only when the liquid cooling arrived, did I realise my last case was too small so a simple $80 upgrade turned into ~$250. Also finally got around to installing my SSD.

Yep. (My new case is fucking huge though, no wires anywhere and my cpu temp has decreased by over 40 degrees C)

4. Written description of what happened, the whole story. Also what happened before and after.
At spawn of round he runs backwards causing me to accidentally run him over on horseback. I ride back to say sorry, but then he shoots me in the face with xbow twice and kills me.

Just curious, after he shot you the first time, what were you expecting?

If you're good, you don't have to say anything, your performance speaks for itself.  If you like to gloat about your skills here cause you are or think you are good, then move on to another challenge. Otherwise, in my professional opinion, you're like the guy that keeps talking about when he played in high school 8 years ago.... What else can you do? That said, it's easy to shit talk when you have the cards in your hand, but only real men talk shit no matter what the occasion is.   As a former Halo player, I can tell you, shit talking is just part of the gaming experience... nothing new there .

What we need here is more MLG Halo nerds like the poster I quoted so that we can stop having internet shitfits. Clearly, this master of first person shooters is above us all and can cleanse the crpg community of all infectious arguing.

lol baldplayer acting like a turd

FTFY

You know what most people do when we see Hospitaller act like fucktards on the forums? Laugh and post some shit back.

What do you do? You turn into some kind of of bundle of sticksy mouthbreathing Devestater knockoff on the forums. You're a fucking closet sperglord, dude, get help.

Maybe try using this.

Also you reminded me of something chadz said awhile back

http://forum.melee.org/announcements/rise-and-shine-strategus-2014-starting-15th-february/60/

Since this is Strategus related im going to wait for someone higher on the food chain to anwser you then myself 

I don't think you understand anything that's going on in the OP. I know reading is hard, and so is passing grade 1, but you could make an effort you know. The OP in questions asks this:
"Rule Clarification".

Since no actual attention is ever applied to any other forum than this very one for admin viewing and contributions in a regulated manner, it may do you some good to pay attention to the words written in the OP regardless of the format of the post. Read the fucking post you god damn tool. He wasn't asking for a ban.

Hey aderyn, haven't seen you after our lovely game of ck2 together.  The one that you decided to raid me with vikings while I was fighting 2 losing wars?  And then somehow your entire family line mysteriously got assassinated?;)   I even ended up finding out who eliminated from our game:(  good times, good times.

I honestly didn't think you'd hold that grudge against me for nearly 4-5 months now!  But then again I do remember you going on your mountain dew induced power trip about how you were gonna get me banned and how much of an American imbecile I was. 

We should play again once I get back from boot camp:)

bring back military strategies, seems hospitallers forgotten them all including the most crucial of them all:

"Show up to fight the enemy"

Say what you will about Goretooth, but he's right about Riran. That guy is shit. Now Marcus, he was a solid player, but that Riran guy is shit. And he doesn't even play nowadays.

QFT Riran is a piece of shit. All he ever did was complain about shitty fucking gundams. Fucking shitbirds.
