Diplomatic Immunity: Almost Ready Maybe?

[Brother Shatterstone]

Gotta give Kohbiel some time here. If it does turn out that Kohbiel timed out, then we could start the Prelude while Logicsfate was working on an alt character.

I wasn’t suggesting that he be bumped only if he contacted you via email. (He has been online since his last post.)

Because your highest roll was higher than Bront's highest roll, and you put it in Charisma despite Kalli being mean and nasty

I think he had rolls higher than my own or rolls that at least tied it... I could be wrong though.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

I disagree. If there's an error in the code that can be avoided by the user skirting around it, it is still an error

I see, shall we agree to disagree then?

I don't think so. Didn't you give Kalli those insane rolls that Slagg had originally?

Sure. All I can say, though, is that as a programmer myself, I would find such an attitude (i.e. "If I make a mistake, you should work around it, and if not, it is your problem.") totally unacceptable from an employee

Yes, and no…. I swapped his rolls cause generally they were to high and he wasn’t as stupid or as ugly as I wanted him.

Kalli as needed above average rolls in every ability…

Well of course, programmers are known for taking the long way that costs a whole hell of a lot more money than simply adapting and overcoming the problem on the fly that the real world prefers...

So yes

Not really--at least here, the engineering approach is known for being efficient. And it's not to say that I wouldn't adapt on the fly--I did, and that is why the project is done. It is the attitude that I would find unacceptable, not the mistake. If I got a response: "I apologise, but I have found that there is an error in my code. The problem isn't with you, but you can get around it by doing X, so let's try to do that before we revamp the system." I would be fine with that. If I got a response: "You screwed up. You need to do X. :Sigh: Yet another 8th-layer problem." I would probably fire that person. It isn't a problem with the user. It is a problem with the code that a canny user can avoid.

Sorry you can't take a joke. :shrug:

That's funny! Those stats are well above 'above average' . . .

Base: 17, 16, 16, 15, 14, 12 with favorable racial adjustments is very very . . . very sweet!!

Thanks I try. The issues with the rolls was really that those stats you see their where/are to go for Slag so I swapped them like 5 months ago. (Before I went on leave and the DT team even met.)

Slag’s bases stats are/where:
Base 18
Base 16
Base 18
Base 12
Base 12
Base 10

and those just fit the concept of Slag better...

Eh? so I'm not waiting on a wealth chart for my....ooooh, right. noted.
I've been busy as all heck over here trying to catch up with college work. I should have a break from it for now though, so that E-mail is forthcoming as soon as I dig through this massive thread to find your address.

*edit* found, E-mail forthcoming soon

Ah, the internet. See, I couldn't tell it was a joke because to me the "agree to disagree" line made me think you actually believed it (which typecasts those smileys in a different light). Sorry for missing the joke
