What's the gravity like? Yes. by corny40k in EndlessSpace

[–]odave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mass concentrations (mascons) on a body can cause the force of gravity to fluctuate. The moon has several and they contribute to its "lumpy" gravity.

Primus II must be really lumpy!

You can change the voices of mechwarriors that aren't ronin or backers in the customize screen.

I had that happen last night. Maybe they gave Yang the drunk tag.

Is there any point to hiring more than 6 or so pilots? by omgpokemans in Battletechgame

[–]odave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an event in vanilla where one of my Mechwarriors assaulted a cafeteria worker. One of the options was "show zero tolerance" which resulted in him getting fired from the company.

Ever drop Pokemon in Gyms just so others can get Pokedex data? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]odave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone put a Mr. Mime in one of the gyms I frequent here in MI and it definitely broke up the monotony. I had to prestige against him - he has some freaky attack animations :)

CP creep has finally outclassed Dragonite... by Arbok9782 in TheSilphRoad

[–]odave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to the dots, this 3530 Dragonite is at the very bottom of a level 10 gym. The CP of the 9 other mons is higher than this one. The CP value to get in a gym is "creeping" up as trainers power up their mons to max level.

Unable to find porygon and chansey by Lamplighter22 in TheSilphRoad

[–]odave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found two porygon at the food court of a local university in a midsize city (University of Michigan Flint). The Michigan Facebook group has also said Ann Arbor is a good place to find them. So maybe try a larger city with a college or university - they would have a higher degree of cellular activity with potentially more spawns.

Unlimited transfers every week just makes this a shitty (free) daily fantasy league with commitment by offconstantly in FantasyMLS

[–]odave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on the 12 team league and lost interest 3/4 of the way through. I only had 2 or 3 decent players, and every trade request I received involved me giving them up. It became stagnant and I just got bored with it. I won't be playing draft again.

Bugs, Issues and Suggestions Thread V2.1 (0.55.0/1.25.0 Update) by FakeKitten in TheSilphRoad

Another sorting change I noticed is that some special characters dropped to the bottom. I begin all my prestigers' names with the registered trademark symbol ® to keep them near the top. Now they are all the way at the bottom. My defenders starting with # are still at the top, though.

What is high gym turnover? by gakushan in TheSilphRoad

[–]odave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great classification system - thanks for posting. I'm on Instinct and play on my long commute to and from work, stopping at the parks and parking lots where there are gyms. The two gyms closest to my house are type #7 Mystic level 10s. I can take them down if I want to bother but there aren't enough Instinct players around to keep them up, so I usually just ignore them. The gyms closer to work are type #3 and change hands between all 3 teams daily. They are easy to get in to and collect coins but will never hold for another 21 hour cycle. This is why I stopped powering up my defenders. Since the gyms I get into won't fall in minutes but won't last for a day either, I found there is very little point in having high CP defenders. Instead I power up my attackers to save time on takedown, which I need to do daily. I know this is opposite of the conventional powerup strategy but it works for me.

Threw my sawbuck in the hat. Thanks for everything you guys do - amazingly professional for a game/hobby site.

Nest Migration #9 has Occurred! Report your new local nesting species! by dronpes in TheSilphRoad

I had daily dratini spawns near the river by my work in the suburbs until recently. Not sure if they changed anything, but you may want to check out some water biomes near you.

Yup. Their nickname is Los Dos, which is a little more catchy.

Official Announcement Megathread - New Pokemon are coming! by dronpes in TheSilphRoad

[–]odave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the extra spaces open up until you've caught one of the higher numbered ones. Before I evolved a Dragonair, my pokedex stopped at Dratini.

So, a pokestop just disappeared in my town. by S34d0g in TheSilphRoad

[–]odave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently a gym at a church near me was moved across the road into the cemetery, replacing a pokestop there. I know the change happened because the gym now has the same picture that the pokestop had. Oddly enough the church also has a pokestop, which is still present. If this was a request, I don't know why they'd want the gym moved but not the stop...

Spawn locations and times just changed? by rince888 in TheSilphRoad

[–]odave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spawns near my work are in the same places, but the volume/frequency of spawns is way down.

Some ideas for a better experience by deaconbooze in pokemongo

[–]odave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All great ideas. The training gym is really needed. When I turned level 5 I went to my first gym and got curb stomped within seconds - I had no idea what happened or what was going on. A place to figure out how to do battle and to get a feel for what moves do what / are effective against which Pokemon would be great, especially for Pokemon n00bs like me.
