Actually, I'll make time for it if needed. If people want to host a tourney, take it seriously and get sufficient people on board, I'd be glad to give it a small push if I can and give an appropriate reward for it. 🙂

Hi,
We're planning to set up a content creation program on this community including a private forum for content creators, forms for requesting giveaway keys or other support (of course based on the size of your channel, quality of your channel, your trust and not all too frequent) and so on. 
Any suggestions for this are welcome here, things you run into and would like help on and so on. 
 

Not sure, seems fine for me.

I am not sure if there's newer lists of bbcode that still works, bbcode is disabled by default now. I enabled it for power users.
 

Only custom one we offer in IPS is the button currently - on the full editor, the section one. We actually removed a bunch we dont consider useful to make things more clean. 
 
We support all the default IPS4 BBCode

Happy birthday! 🙂
 
PM me your ID and ill give you your ultraspade!

I would try to re-popularize libertarian views. I am sincerely deeply concerned about the effects of our backsliding democracies and the popularity of authoritarian policy (everyone loves a "strong" leader who is harsh against the people/things they dislike right now..) in a world where every message can be automatically discerned and categorized by sentiment towards people, where your patterns can be calculated.

I can write a bot that figures out at a decent rate how likely you are to be anti-government through your PMs on this forum with just a couple of days of work. If you add customized Machine Learning, a few years and a team you can predict who is going to rebel before they even do so, without them realizing themselves yet that they will sour on the government. 
The current state of the world deeply concerns me, I fear it's almost inevitable for countries to backslide into perpetual authoritarian dictatorships where modern technology such as AI and drones are used to cull an ever shrinking groups of ever-more-loyal minions. It takes one improperly limited president/prime minister with dictatorial ambitions to sink us into the void of dictatorship forever - having a gun or being willing to fight for your rights isn't going to help once they have fully automated drones and the factories are manned by robots. 
I think impressing this onto people with honest, candid and colorful language, painting a picture of the future that might be and explaining why it is so important to prevent it, might give us a chance to reverse that course. In addition to that I would focus on giving equal opportunities to everyone - it is proven to raise productivity. Lower the work weeks to the point of efficiency (take a gander at scandinavia - lowering it from 40 to 33ish hours actually raises their total productive output...) by having professional research done and getting an institution going advicing companies on best practices (also encouraging remote work where beneficial etc), provide housing and education to anyone even remotely likely to make use of it, legalize drugs but use taxes to discourage abuse of them via education and provide the help needed to those addicted, create a sense of national pride in the lack of corruption in our society to ensure corruption will continue to be reported long in the future, add safeguards such as corrective binding referendums via the internet and the ability for the people to dissolve a government over a 3 months period at any point if too strongly in disagreements... 
 
Can you tell? I like politics. 😛 
 
 
If you had a button where if you pressed it everyone would go to sleep, but be truly happy while doing so and live for a hundred years this way, just having beautiful dreams the entire time but no more real life, would you press it?
Do you think it'd be morally justifiable to press it?

Hi guys 🙂 
 
Let me give the good example and introduce myself!
My name is Alexander but everyone calls me Alex. I am 28 years old, I am into sailing, ski-ing, reading, writing, anime/LNs, games and cooking. I started playing a game called BattleDawn back in 2006 when I was 14 and was asked to help test SuperMechs by a BD Admin back before it was public and just kind of stuck around. I lead a team called NCR (New Corgi Revolution) in Battle Dawn with Josh (Malicewolf) and am a member of the Shiba Revolution in Super Mechs. 
I studied Software Engineering, but frankly I find most things interesting.
Some years ago I was hired by Ilona to be Community Manager (we talked a lot and she suggested I apply if I really want to improve BD/SM so much, so I did), she however didn't stick with the company after that so I had to kind of learn the job on the spot on my own. And take parts of her job (Product Manager) while at it. This went pretty well and I formed a pretty natural gear in the SM and BD teams, but when the SM Team grew it became harder and harder for me to feel like I was making a meaningful impact. I went to Michael (Tacticsoft CEO), told him to either give me something else to do or I'll have to walk away eventually. He asked me what I want to do then and I offered to take over Battle Dawn instead, which was orphaned without a manager and close to a shutdown.
I took it over, it went pretty well, Battle Dawn didn't get shut down, grew a lot. We recruited Josh and Elcent who are awesome human beings and eventually Michael passed me onto a guy who was buying the rights to make a Battle Dawn sequel. We got along and after spending a lot of time discussing with each other, we decided to buy Battle Dawn itself as well. I re-recruited Ilona to the team (sadly she left a while ago again :P) and re-recruited Simmen, Gato Games was born. 

We improved Battle Dawn's servers a lot, I got the title of CEO, we recruited Gaurav, Fluffeh and Kenny and eventually got a chance to buy Super Mechs... Which at the time we couldn't. Got another one and this time we could and did. 
So yeah, here we are and here I am. Please be nice to me. 😛

Hello!

Here's a little thread where I'll be updating a list of unlisted SuperMechs videos that I've made over the past few months. These are usually short, high quality montages that I've made for fun while riding a short burst of motivation or inspiration. Doubling down on this point, don't expect any regularity or pattern with these uploads, they're randomly made. Enjoy!
