Well last week, we were playing and my cat jumped on top of my computer and his paw landed on the reset button, which led to an hour ban, so yeah, I guess they just jump to seven days now
I'm pretty sure Cheddahz is just coming off a 1 day ban, so that's probably why it's 7 days.
Edit: Or was that not Cheddahz? I remember someone in SteamGAF talking about getting a 1 day ban for teamkilling.
Stallion Free
Cock Encumbered
Well here is the exact breakdown of ban times:
"The rules are as follows: every cooldown increases the offense level by one level and after cooldown expires and a clean week goes by the offense level goes down by one level. First level offenders receive a 30 min cooldown, second level = 2 hr, third level = 24 hr, fourth and higher levels = 7 days. The confusion might arise for extreme abusers of the system whose offense level went beyond level 4 now."

But seriously, that's gotta suck. Is there no way to appeal that? Or would the process itself take longer than a week?

Probably the latter
Thanks for doing this.
I'd probably considering Dreamfall Chapters low-no-risk though because of the PS4 "first to console" announcement from Gamescom. I think they also got some funding from Norwegian Film Institute.
Also, they posted some fancy 4K screenshots in their latest update.

I didn't see anyone else reply about Republique, so here's some info. The Ep3 for iOS is in alpha I think and the PC beta sign ups are happening and supposedly the beta starts at the end of August. Whether they can manage to deliver all 5 episodes, we'll see.

You cannot appeal bans.

$3.75 is a great deal for SG. GMG still has the SG+Squigly+Color Palette bundle for $4.99 as well.

I've really got to look into the collective more :|
I should watch that then, because I'm not interested in Civ: BE at all :/
It's one of those games I should be interested in because I like Alpha Centauri and Civ, but I'm just not feeling it.
Didn't know that happened. The giant hack thread probably should have the OP updated.
I feel really bad for Fish, but I'm interested to see if his offer is actually real and not just another one of his usual overreactions.

It's kinda both.
Honestly, I think your cat was trying to help you out...
Exactly. And by the time that the Steam Support rep told him this, it would be almost 7 days anyway.

The real reason I came in here:

Turns out AWS is insane and intends to base their analysis of demand for GG:Xrd on Steam on the sales of Blazblue CT's PC offering. I'm not sure what planet or dimension the AWS who said this comes from, but it's clearly one where logic does not exist.

Valve have similar issues with their punishment system in Dota 2. If for any reason you abandon a match (cat jumps on computer, internet goes down etc) you receive a 6 match ban. You then have to play 6 matches in the low priority pool (which is full of abandons, AFK and trolls). If people abandon and down allow you to properly finish those matches then they don't count. So instead of being able to wait a period of time you are forced to play the game until you can overcome the ban, the main issue being that the low priority pool can be a pretty bad experience which I guess makes it a good punishment, unless of course the ban was caused by a legitimate reason.

You asked this in the other thread on the subject right now.
One way you can find out what something is is to go to a search engine and put the word in and press enter. Here's what I get from Google:
It seems, then, that Polytron is the developer that released the video game Fez.
this news is legit..
Well... to be fair, if your cat jumped on your computer in LoL (don't know DotA2 enough), that's 4-5 minutes to reboot and rejoin the game.
You basically killed your entire team and left them no chance of winning.
There has to be a clear message that wasting 4 people's time is bad.

Posting (or directly linking to) personal, confidential information is a bad idea if you like your account.
...what?
Do they just not want to port it and figured they can just blame the fans for it instead?

listen to the mad man
The only reason I have them a little higher than that is because they got funded as a game and they then split up into episodes, which was clearly a move to secure more funding, and thus to me a sign of risk. If an episode or two comes out and doesn't crater, then I'll feel comfortable upgrading them to pale green or green
I am certain they're not doing as well as they hoped to, but it'll be interesting to see if they're doing well enough to keep the doors open until the game gets finished.
Yes, I know; I was trying to teach PLASTICA-MAN how to answer his question. And yeah, please don't post or link to someone's personal information, especially not stuff that's stolen. No harm, no foul, you removed it quickly.
The annoying thing is that I'd totally buy Blazblue CT if it had multiplayer, and if there was any sign of the more recent Blazblue titles coming out. I mean it's got a decent story mode, great visuals and some solid combat. But the lack of multiplayer really hurts it.

Not to mention it really isn't worth much more than 4.99 as a base price at this point.
That too. Wasn't it up for a big discount in the Steam sales, only to not win the vote or something? I'd probably have gotten it then.

Yeah I recall it was. Man Anime games got their asses handed to them during the summer sale.
Everyone remembers the pain of Ikaruga.
The pain was real! I still ended up buying it at the end of the day but still! So many of the games I wanted in those community votes during the summer sale lost
What the hell? I didn't know you could get banned for something like that.
Now I'm scared to play on competitive servers. Maybe I'll just go back to TF2 where everything is friendly.
Wait, it doesn't even have multiplayer? A fighting game? And this is the barometer they are using to judge potential sales on the platform? Ludicrous.

Van Helsing (the game) is pretty good.
Thought I'd get sick of ARPGs but this game must be doing something right.

More pressing than what it says about the game itself is what it says about the person playing it

I think I'm gonna try that 14 day trial of ff14 this weekend. I didn't really like the beta but if I'm not in the mood to play diablo that's most likely what I'll do
No. I think it was free for a limited time but now it costs money.
