Rant Thread!

I'm trying to sign up for twitch but I keep encountering:

"Login must contain only letters, numbers, and underscores"

I've tried a dozen different passwords that include all of the above and nothing else. Caps lock is turned off, passwords are of sufficient length (otherwise it would tell me). I'm not sure what the problem is. Any ideas, besides I'm an idiot?

Check your chosen user name, would be my first check.

It isn't that. If the username is not available/ineligible you get a little red box with an exclamation point inside. If the username is acceptable/ok, you get a green box with a white check mark. I've had the green box.

PEBKAC, clearly.

Ass hole.

And, I also tried that as a password. No luck, in spite of what I presume is your very best effort.

So it seems there's approximately a 50% chance for any message I type in chat on Twitch to actually go through. I don't know what causes this, but it's very frustrating. I think I will have to double-type every message I want to send from now on.

And while we're in the "rant thread," my question about the placement of SplendidIsolate came across as very newbish. I'm not sure I communicated my question adequately, though I did get the answer I wanted (and suspected) eventually.

Bah, we should have just called the city Isolation.

"Newbish" questions help you get better, don't apologize or feel bad . It's not a dumb question either - settling on the only resource like that is really unnatural and jarring, so it's understandable to wonder why.

[TheHumanHydra]

Thanks. What I should have asked is "are we settling on the silver to save worker turns?" That was basically what I was trying to ask, and would have come across as less ignorant. Speaker answered in the affirmative in the chat log, while Sullla I think thinks I'm a total neophyte. Sigh but woe.

No worries about it, Hydra. It's a fair question to ask. The question isn't really about worker turns, but about getting the silver connected ASAP. It would take forever to hook up the silver with a single worker (which would have to be ferried over, and then have to be ferried back), and the silver is pretty crappy at 0-1-6 or so. We get more commerce out of working coast, and more production from whipping.

If we had a food resource within range, then things would be different.

We had the same tradeoff with Ditchdigger, where we also settled directly on the ivory, and that was a far better tile at 1-4-1.

Well Ditchdigger is a great fuckyou city, considering not only did it seal off the north via those peaks, but it was a hill elephant tile of all things. You ain't breaking that.
