And of course, the old man fell asleep before seeing your reply. And I don't have my chart with me, so I'll just refer you to a post made a few days ago. You can see from the chart in the post that it is just about as likely that they'll release a patch on a day that isn't Tuesday as it is that they'll release a patch on Tuesday. Yes, Tuesday is the day they've most often released the patch, but it's close to 50/50 as to whether it will be Tuesday or a Non-Tuesday.

People have repeated the fallacy that patches always come on Tuesdays so long that I decided to make a chart and keep track of it. It's been repeated so much that people that have seen 1 patch come in repeat it as gospel. Just doing my part to keep information accurate.

Not the point being made. My post was in response to the statement below:

Bolding and italics are mine.

Lovecraft aside, you said things tend to happen on Tuesdays. I'd like to know what specific things you are referring to.

MA is different, as others have noted. If you have a problem with the words the Profanity Filter catches, as I do, turn it off.

Considering how much of a horndog one of my allies in one of the missions of my arc is, I'm sure that the word naked is used somewhere. I've not seen it filtered, but then again, I turn off the filter by choice so that I don't miss comments by other players such as "Thank God" when we barely escape defeat against a really tough opponent and our inspirations have all run out. That happened in Beta, and is the reason my profanity filter is off. I don't know if they've taken that off the list, and don't care, I know that there are words I don't find offensive on the list and I'm adult enough to deal with the ones I do find offensive.

Things? What sort of Things?

You have awakened my curiosity.

MM Pets: Known issue. This bug came in when they gave the pets the ability to use the elevators and doors. Occasionally they'll go nuts when they change floors and zip all over the map before coming back to the elevator as well. It's usually easy to get control back. Buff them, and they'll once more know the answer to "Who's your daddy?" (or in other words you'll regain control). Or, pull something over towards them that will attack them. Once they take damage they are yours to control again.

As for the Profanity Filter, I'm on the US servers and I just logged into the game, turned my Profanity Filter back on and had someone type the phrase "I get my wood from a tree" in a global channel and it all came through as it should. I then asked them to "type something that WILL be filtered" and all I saw was the comic-y type swear symbols. So, apparently it isn't filtered on the US servers. If it's filtered on the EU servers it's apparently for some regional usage you aren't aware of, or the word "wood" was mistyped and it was a different word that was filtered. Although, I can't think of any that would trigger the filter that are spelled close to how wood is spelled.

Still, the Profanity Filter list has long been a joke as far as I was concerned, so I run with it off on all characters.

Dad always used to tell me:

Want in one hand and [censored] in the other and see which one fills up fastest.

Yep, here's another one of those fallacies that everyone swears is gospel truth. Issues are patched in on Tuesdays.

Not always. Let's see how they add up by issues. Dates taken from ParagonWiki Timeline page.


Now it's true that I counted the CoH Headstart in that Non-Saturday number but to me and many others, that was the our release date. But in fairness, I didn't count the CoV Headstart and Issue 6 twice since they were the same day.

As you can see from the chart, it's almost equally as likely that an Issue patch will be released on a day other than Tuesday as it is that it will be released on a Tuesday.

So, can we let this fallacy die once and for all? Please?

Think I'm gonna hang onto that chart and keep it updated. And pull it out every single time I see someone make that fallacious statement.

Maybe if I repeat it enough times people will finally realize the truth.











I'm not holding my breath.

And so do both CoH and the CoH Test Server installation on my computer. I didn't leave it at the default path or put it in the Users\whatever path. Also, I find another fairly new game I installed and tried for a couple of months in that same Start > Games entry. The other game wasn't installed in the default location or the Users path either.

I always use a custom installation path for games, and it's served me well for over a decade.

So. Your point is what exactly?

Really, how many ways can you swing a whip. That would be like making a new set using pistols and trying to find 9 different ways to stand there and pull the trigger.










Oh wait. Totally different thing, sorry.

Not all are what people would consider names however. And they don't show up anywhere on posts, they just quietly moderate the forums, which is their job.

I'm talking about moderators with names such as Moderator1, Moderator2, Moderator3, Moderator4, Moderator5, and so on as well as Moderator01, Moderator03, Moderator04, and Moderator06. I'm sure there have been other "unnamed" moderator positions over the years, but they don't post in general. They just quietly do their job and turn in reports to their superiors. I think I recall seeing one post by one of the numbered Moderators previously and IIRC it was while the other Community Reps were out of the office and they moderated a thread, made a post that they were closing the thread, and that was it. But the name isn't red when I look at it. It's green, just like yours and mine. theOcho is a former "unnamed" moderator who worked under Moderator08. He still uses that one for some moderation action so it doesn't spam the Community Digest and doesn't draw attention to the moderation.

As far as whether or not they are part of the OCR team? I don't know. I've just never seen them listed with the OCR team members. Of course, we generally don't see them listed anywhere. The old forums showed us who had moderator privileges on specific forum sections, but I haven't seen it in the vbb forums. It may be here, I just haven't found it. Probably because it's irrelevant to me and I haven't looked for it.

And no, I know of several staff that don't have a redname. For example, The Television has been with Paragon Studios for a while now (2008 IIRC), but only recently got a redname. There are other programmers that don't have rednames, just to name one job area. Some in the Art department have no redname, some in the Design department have no redname, some in the Production department have no redname, as far as I know the clerical staff and HR department don't have rednames. I'm sure there are others. So no, not all staff have a redname.
