  • I don't know what it's called but I need help with it

ackvonhuelio Varrience
Yoo thank you guys so much! This helps a great ton!
Unfortunately, my dumb little brain isn't quite able to grasp what's going on in Varrience's examples, but hopefully I'll be able to understand it later. Still, it means a lot, thank you guys!

    INTERNECION Number one thing not to do when you don't want to sound pissed is to not use all caps. All caps 99% of the time mean that you are shouting, and if you're shouting, it's going to be assumed that you are indeed angry. It especially does not help you when you combine a warning with all caps. It comes across more as an angry threat than a warning. Instead, use italics when you want to put emphasis into a certain part. (yea I used caps for 2 words that one time then remembered the tilted I was a thing so 👍)

      Oh and, using words that refer to the offender is also usually unhelpful. For example, you should say
      "This goes against our rules, please don't do that again"
      Instead of
      "You are breaking our rules, don't do that again"

      Mellow Well I usually use all caps for emphasis and not for yelling. I mean what will I yell at the screen for? It isn't like it just booted up my i.p. adress from out of nowhere. Haha

        alright then. But did you see my explanation about the controversy as well?

        INTERNECION eh fair, but it's still best to not use all caps, as long as there are ways to emphasize in other ways. (if there aren't ways to emphasize, I usually a d d s p a c e s in between my words, but that's annoying so it's fine if there's no options)
        And the controversy
        Uh
        many words, yes

        Oh also also-
        Full sentences with all caps are worse than single words with all caps, cuz then you're going to look like you're really pissed off. plus if I were to emphasize an entire sentence, its just kinda... a normal sentence looking different, rather than it actually putting any emphasis in
        Though it can work for much shorter sentences
        emphasizing long sentences doesn't do much

        Mellow ah i see... well you should be able to grasp my example by putting in into a new project or basically almost any JS interpreter and start playing around with what I've got (make sure you use the 2nd iteration of my example as that one you can run), my 2nd example is basically like Ack's... I don't think its that much more of a stretch of a concept or just go off of what Ack said as well if you plan to learn more on your own, Good Luck!

        ackvonhuelio uh it looks like the for loop isn't quite working, I'm testing it with hidden achievements and it just shows as 0, even though there's a few

          Mellow well did you format it properly? the way Ack show it is object array and i'll give a smaller demo of what he did that way it should be followable

          // This is a DEMO please read comments if your stuck or confused
          var accomp = [
            {
              title: "new world", // a title of the achivement optional properties like description can also be added
              unlocked: true // the property to look for if we unlocked the achivement
            }, // , <= is important since this is an array
            {
              title: "pro",
              unlocked: false
            },
            {
              title: "gamer",
              unlocked: true
            }
          ];
          // here we are going to count how many achivements we have left
          console.log(accomp.length) // <= this will give us how many achivements we have
          var unlocked = 0; // keeps track of the current achivements we have
          for (var a = 0; a < accomp.length; a++) { // here we iterate through the array
            if (accomp[a].unlocked === true) { // === true doesn't need to be there if's already look for a boolean outcome
              unlocked += 1; // we add here how many is unlocked
            }
          }
          // here is something more complex we know how many achivements we unlocked and how many we have,
          // but how do we show that as output since "-" statements are illegal in console.log statements
          var achivementsLeft = accomp.length - unlocked; // this makes it so no () are needed
          console.log("You have " + unlocked + " achivements so far\n There's " + achivementsLeft + " left go get em champ")
          // this is how it would be done given that you didn't want to declare a variable for a result
          console.log("You have " + unlocked + " achivements so far\n There's " + (accomp.length - unlocked) + " left go get em champ")

            yeah none of us can actually understand varriance but just go with whatever he's saying its probably right.

            Mellow
            for loops are suuupeeerr useful, so definitely take the time to actually learn how they work and don't just copy and paste

            INTERNECION

            INTERNECION lol really what did i do because all i type was

            2kChubz Disrespectful??? nah bro went to far

            2kChubz yea you get it lol

            2kChubz no he doesnt care about noitif he just want points I love how he lies how he don't care about points but he likes his own post

            so I can tell brendan and fluffy about this

            Because I didnt do jack shit! lol whatever you idk

            Mellow mellow do you know where fluffy at because I message him

            person ok tbh just dont read im not saying in a mean way

            INTERNECION I only upvote my own stuff so I can piss off chubz since he cares so much about it

            liesss

            INTERNECION I never chose mod. BRENDAN JUST GAVE IT TO ME

            lies you begg for it

              2kChubz Alright since a one day suspension wasn't enough for you to not start any problems. then I will just give you a three day. At this point and time all you do is instigate and that is a problem. You have done nothing to help anyone since the day you came on this forum. I will not deal with your shenanigans again. So now that you understand what you're doing is ban worthy, a three day suspension should suffice. Come back when you actually have the competence to have a decent conversation and not causing problems for no reason. Here cool off for the moment

              Dies from the stupidity

              Dies from the stupidity of your stupidity in being so stupid that you change the stupidity of the definition of the word stupid

              Mellow really you got banned ohhhhh brendan!!! lol tbh hey intern you can suspend me bc if you do
              for what reason tell me why idc

              I told you many times why you were suspended. One of them was not listening to the warnings I gave you about not starting fights. Instigating is still starting a fight. Another one is being disrespectful to the moderator. this is not tolerated. Another one can be technical spam when given warning many times to not do that at all. and yet you have continued. 12 notifs and 10 of them are downvotes in the span of 2 minutes. like bro we get it you care about the point system. Some of the stuff I say wasn't even upvoted by yours truly and yet you still did it. so therefore you are trying to get at something here

              um what how spaming um never then because Ima GeT bAn!

                2kChubz you kept downvoting my messages when you said you would stop twice before so you lied to me and kept going. You have constantly done so as well which screws up my notifications. You also never told me whether you want to become my friend to end this drama or you want to keep going and be a foe. Your actions say that you want to keep going and that is also a reason why I suspended you for 3 days.

                -_-
                at this point im not even sure who's fault it is

                  person Well if you had to deal with someone that doesn't listen to your warningss many times over, kept being disrespectful, kept spamming your notifs, lies about you and what you do and has done nothing to help in any shape or form with his words and you keep punishing them accordingly, but you did not want to straight up ban them would you or would you not be trying to come to an impasse with that person so that this drama is over? That's what I have been trying to do instead of ban him. would you rather I do?

                  can you both just ignore each other entirely?

                    person yeah thats one way of doing it. but I dont that since his notifs still come thru whether he does or i do. so it is still screwed

                      Mellow or i could punish him for violating the rules that were made on this site

                      AHEM Mellow you said you would stop with the downvotes. SO did you just lie to me? please I must understand so that I know you are not disrespecting a moderator which is against the rules.

                      Mellow

                        INTERNECION I was actually being conscious about that, i didn't want to down vote too much since you obviously don't like that, so it's only like 4, which shouldn't be too much I think

                          Mellow

                          Downvoting? Yes, already said

                          You said this mellow. you said you were done with it. So you lied to me. Why disrespect a moderator?

                            INTERNECION oh boy...
                            OK after this let's move to private chat, however you make one. I don't want to have another mountain of unrelated spam like the other question.
                            Again, just like 3 or 4 votes, not a load like the first time, plus just not voting period would I guess go against my own thoughts of voting. If I like something, I upvote, if I don't, downvote, if I'm neutral, I don't vote.
                            Did not mean to spam or anything. Did not mean to 'disrespect' you, just 🧠
                            Also uh the first comment seemed more tame so good job on that 👍
                            I will not respond to a comment about this in here, again do not want another useless mountain of garbage burying actually helpful people

                              Mellow oh wait but responding here sends the post back to the top, so I think it's still best if we talked privately

                              Mellow it is still a lie. you said you would stop. you stopped after a while, and then just decided to go to an OLD AS HELL discussion and kept going. So it is still a lie. why disrespect a moderator?

                                INTERNECION ayaiyai...
                                I'm not doing this
                                A little dumb to assume I'd stop voting period, but whatever.
                                and eh yea it's old. so what. once more not that many yada yada yada no disrespect was purposeful yada yada, I don't want this post to be moved to the top when it isn't relevant or important anymore, so I won't be responding to you here. If you're gonna keep going, make us a private chat thing.
