    BigDawg got a reaction from JamAnime in Will SM Ever Be Online, again?   
    I don't like the desktop app and would much prefer to use browsers as before.  That said the game still has so many issues in terms of bugs and cheat accounts that Gato have more problems to deal with before browser compatability becomes a priority.

    BigDawg reacted to GeometricalTaco in Pilots: BEWARE   
    There have been a lot of posts that go a bit like this recently: "Help my account has been hacked and i cant log in. I gave someone my details and now it says the login details dont exist please help"
    Do not under any circumstances share your account details: 
    Not only is it against the ToS (Terms of Service), but it is also a big risk to your account.
    Firstly: People haven't "hacked" your account. There is currently no known way to hack someone's account without knowing any of the details. They steal peoples accounts.
    How can they steal it?
    There is no verification involved when changing account details. You can easily change them without anyone knowing. They literally only need your account details.
    Why would they steal it?
    People will steal accounts for many reasons, but mostly it is so they can sell the account and get a profit from it. You might think, "But im a low level and im only rank 15", but they can still sell them, but they will be cheaper. Starting with a rank 15 account is better than starting with a completely new account.
    How can I keep my account safe?
    The only reason this problem exists for SM is because people share accounts. Never share your accounts to anyone, even if you trust them. Co-piloting is a thing, but it isn't supposed to be.
    "But you can progress easier with co-piloting." This is true to a point. Almost all top players have never had a co-pilot, and never will. Sure its nicer to know that someone is grinding out campaign for you while you sleep, but it is still against ToS.
    How can I know if someone is trying to steal my account? 
    It is pretty easy and simple to tell. I was approached the other day by someone trying to take my account. I will show the tactics used.
    First they will say they want to swap/switch an account. They will show a screenshot of a pretty good mech and say it is their account. They will probably show some other mechs.

    The second I saw that screenshot I knew it was a hacked account. There is no way you can have that many premium modules and not have your modules already maxed and some divined, unless you have really got your priorities wrong. With that many legendaries you will have full mythical weapons, and as you can see his top weapon is only legendary.
    If you ask for some more screenshots they will probably send some. I asked for a main-page screenshot after seeing some more of his mechs. He sent this:

    There are many things wrong with this image. Firstly: the tokens are cut off from the edge of the screenshot. This will never be a mistake and he will be trying to hide the amount from you. Also, there is very clearly a portal going on in this screenshot, and it was not a portal day that day.
    I asked how many tokens he had, and he said 49k. If you had that many tokens you would not want to swap an account, because that is thousands of pounds worth of tokens.
     
    All in all:
    Do not swap accounts with ANYONE, and do not share your account details with ANYONE either. You will only succeed in getting your account stolen and most likely sold on.

    BigDawg got a reaction from Burn Baby Burn in Frantic Brute Suggestion - Rework it to be less random, increase its energy weakness   
    I always liked the idea of single use with this weapon too.

    I suppose if the rng was narrower and the cost in energy/heat/weight was added then it's on the road to being repaired.  I'm not a fan of backfire weapons but I guess there's an argument for frantic having backfire too.
    I know this topic is going to see a lot of different opinions though.

    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?
