Q: What would happen if Cage tried to confront the first (or second) Alpha again?

PrzemekWe learn from Cage's and Rita's experience, that when covered in the Alpha's blood, one can inherit the aliens' ability to reset the day. The sub-question is - when this occurs, do the mimics retain the ability? If so, in my opinion Cage was lucky he changed his route after his first death, sinc...

Someone play Stackegg with me :D
We need to get our site out of private beta. Haha, great game.
 
playing
didn't got what the hell is it
 
its like tamagotchi, but with an SE site
you have to make it "happy" :P
each action raises one stat
 
What site?
 
users are too low :(
@NapoleonWilson some easter egg game
 
Ugh, Tamagotchi, never got into that crap.
 
10:41 AM
check it out in the sidebar "StackEgg"
 
Oh, now I see it. And it isn't even April 1st yet.
 
hehehhee
early 1st april game
 
who used the flag?! :(
 
me
what happened
 
i have no freaking idea :D
 
10:43 AM
lol
 
nothing, i guess
 
@NapoleonWilson join the madness
 
Have they also remembered to build in the artificial desgin delay between achieving all graduation goals and actually graduating?
 
our site is place 25
@NapoleonWilson haha i hope not
woohoo questions 4 hearts!
guys, we need to downvote ;P
 
where is flag
 
10:47 AM
we only had one
 
oooo
 
I wonder if it takes us over 3 years again to get graduated :P
 
Ah, it seems the Samoans already have April 1st, that's the answer.
 
last time it was with some bot or something
 
Wasn't it unicoins last year?
 
10:52 AM
i don't remember clearly
 
I am pretty sure you could mine Unicoins and use them to buy funny features on the site.
 
memory loss :(
 
so close :)
 
We can do it
who said nothing
 
@AnkitSharma I, since I thought users come anyway and uvoting might hurt quality.
 
10:59 AM
haha, can you even max it out?
I think users means "user happiness" and not so much how many there are.
 
up
upvotes are user happiness
downvote quality
rest u know
 
it seems we are caught in an endless loop haha
good thing graduation is around the corner
wohoo
 
We had all full and still no graduation? Where's meta in this friggin app?
 
I don't understand what we're supposed to be doing
 
11:02 AM
there is no Edit button
or Retag button
 
again tagging
 
back at full hearts again
 
There was a flag button once upon a time
 
don't u know people can kill u for that word
@atticae and i ate it
 
Where can I vote to ban ID questions? Damn you, StackEgg!
 
11:03 AM
@atticae There's only one moderator flags per stage, though.
 
very near
 
somebody voted "do nothing" -.-
 
How is it possible that we are getting worse in the leaderboard?^^
 
everybody knows that's always the wrong answer
 
@Flyk i had work in office that day.....so done nothing :p
 
11:05 AM
Congratulations to graduation!
 
Congrats
Elections?
Closed an low quality id
 
Yeah guys, we are place 4 in the leaderboard!
 
btw that score to graduation was one of the best I've seen so far
 
how to raise traffic
 
lets win us some internet!
 
11:07 AM
@AnkitSharma questions + quality, obviously
 
@AnkitSharma when you build it, they will come
 
@Flyk traffic is inversely proportional to quality in real sense
 
but in this game
 
we are 5th
 
man, this is getting harder :D
 
11:10 AM
selct diffrent diffrent options
this time
 
different from what? :D
 
O-o progress towards wining internet
LOL
 
why would you ever want to restart Oo
is this just there to sabotage other sites? :D

Q: What makes Hulk differentiate the enemy from the allies during the last fight in "The Avengers"?

GandalvTheGreyIn the movie The Avengers how does HULK differentiate between the enemy and the allies? Previously when he turns into the beast aboard the avengers space craft, Hulk fights with Thor which means that he does not know who is enemy and who is ally. But during the last fight Hulk smashes the aliens...

where are others
 
11:43 AM
lets try to push Answers to raise traffic
woah, 6 hearts, new record
i think the trick is to ignore quality as long as possible, just like in real life :P
and not to use close too much
8 hearts!
 
@MovieReel Do you really want to make me believe that all the people asking good question already watched that in the cinema. Seems unusual that the DVD release only brings out stuff like that.
 
9 hearts <3
dont use close :D
 
Whoa, who's worked those stats so high, great!
 
i did, but somebody is trying to sabotage me by closing :D
ignore quality, dont close
first we have to ramp up the other 3
 
Because we need to get rid of those ID questions if we want to survive on the long run.
 
11:53 AM
get quality up and then work on questions and users, and answers as they become red
 
I'm not yet cynical enough to believe that high activity/questions/answers but no quality is the key to success.
 
until quality and questions or users is 4
 
lets raise answers again pls
 
and then work on the two
 
low questions lead to low answers
so we need to keep those two on par
 
11:55 AM
need to keep quality up or people close vote
and that kills questions
 
whats with the missing traffic anyway
 
maybe you need to keep everything above 3 or 4 to get traffic
 
@Flyk thats crazy
 
maybe it's not implemented yet
 
yeah seems bugged
or you have to wait a long time maybe
 
11:58 AM
let questions drop to 2, quality drop to 2, then close vote, just do users/answers
see what happens
 
no, questions has to be as high as answers, or answers will drop fast
i tried it
 
in fact, questions doesn't need to drop, since it just loses two
really?
I hadn't noticed that
 
yep
its also there in the text
Too few questions also negatively affect its answers.
 
so keep questions at 4, and get the rest to 3
 
gj though, 12 hearts \o/
 
12:00 PM
and then work on quality to 4 with questions
 
i think the best strategy is to prioritize like this: Answer, Question, Users, Quality
thats what got us out of the low score anyway
 
but if questions has to be higher than answers then it makes more sense to prioritize them the other way around
 
@Flyk i think they just cannot be lower then answers
 
sure, so if you prioritize questions at 4 first, you don't get instances where answers is higher than questions
 
if you raise it just after raising answers that works well^^
 
12:02 PM
traffic needs stuff at 4
 
its a pseudoscience anyway :D
 
we now have 1 traffic
 
WOHOO TRAFFIC, ALRIGHT!
wow that pushed us really good towards winning 1 internet
 
we might get more points if we vote for the same things
we should do questions/answers/quality/users in that order imo
 
i doubt it :)
2 Traffic!
you are right, it rises when A + Quality is both 4
did anyone check how other sites are doing?
3 traffic, call me bananas!
 
12:05 PM
@atticae No winner yet, and the 2nd best Mathematics is way behind us.
 
4 traffic! \o/
 
290 days is epic
 
go M&TV :)
 
So I wonder how that leaderboard is calculated at all.
 
@NapoleonWilson i think its all equal as long as no one won an internet
guys, stay away from that close button!
 
12:08 PM
downvote quality back up
then answers then users
 
Or it just counts the days (or the real time) when you reach a milestone. So maybe Mathematics was faster but they don't know how to handle a graduated site.
 
SO is doing really badly
 
@atticae Let me guess, too many stupid users?
 
@NapoleonWilson too many close voters i guess ;)
 
no close votes
 
12:11 PM
Would be great if we can make it in under a year.
 
I think we will
that bar at the top is moving fast
who is closing
wtf
 
wth who voted downvote ^^
 
guys don't be silly
 
sabotage!
 
sabotage :o
 
12:12 PM
i bet its someone from scifi :P
 
don't let quality get low, don't take the risk of some close voting
 
well right now we can still outvote them ;)
i want to see 20 hearts, gogogo
 
I think there's quite some lag at times. My vote for asking has been postponed to the next round. ;-(
 
I've had that a couple of times
keep quality up -.-
 
relax, no one is close voting :)
we might be cutting it close with under a year, i doubt it
 
12:16 PM
So the secret to success is not to close anything? Seems the whiners were right all the time! How could we not listen to them?
 
no I think the secret to success is to all vote teh same thing
the more we agree, the easier it seems (ie: we keep stuff at 4 longer)
 
i dont think that makes a difference
would be super unfair to the big sites
 
how do you explain how suddenly we were from having 1 empty heart to 3 and back again?
 
erm, normal voting i guess? :)
is 20 hearts even possible?
 
19 is
who knows, 20 might be
we didn't know if traffic was working until we got it working
 
12:20 PM
yeah, we'll see
 
answer had an effect on users
 
huh, we just raised two stats at once Oo
 
did you see that?
 
yep, crazy
never happened before
 
also: it looks like we're getting very close to 20 hearts
 
12:21 PM
veryyy close

Q: Movie about kids catching a murder neigbour

georgechalhoubThis american-produced movie was stuck in my memory since my childhood, I have seen it probably 8 or 10 years ago. It was very well-produced, that a tv station aired it every month. I confused the movie with Disturbia (2007) because they have a similar story. In my movie, kids spot a murder nei...

 
that one last elusive heart
very jumpy it is
 
@MovieReel That title sounds suspiciously familiar. You sure you didn't ask this 2 days ago already?
 
so close to winning that internet!
 
23 days to go.
 
12:23 PM
ah crap, gamedev won one already
although without their flag
20 hearts!
 
see
 
voting nothing wasnt that clever ;)
 
seemingly not
 
anyway i did a screenshot of glory
nice, 20 again
lets keep it up :)
 
less than a year
 
12:29 PM
Too bad someone used a moderator flag during beta.
 
still less flags used than gamedev
good job guys :)
they were crazy fast though
272 days
 
I wish there was a single player mode
 
@Flyk You don't say! ;-)
 
somebody came in and voted "nothing" as their first vote!
srsface
 
haha
 
12:35 PM
out of private beta in 20 days
 
anyway I got some work to do, keep the site happy guys :D
 
So what was the actual strategy again?
 
well, first we need to stablize these
and then questions/answers to 4
keeping users/quality at 1
and then bring up quality
and bring up users last
hmmm
I'll get back to you on that
 
huh
aw damn, the code golfers were better than us.
 
is that you also playing?
 
12:41 PM
@Flyk I don't really do anthing right now.
 
well once these stop being red I'm going to get answers up
and then quality
think it's 1-2 more rounds until questions drops off again
hopefully these don't both go red
 
It's dangerous getting user and quality down, though, since they can't be saved both.
 
no but they're one round out of sync
so one goes red, then next round the other does
so when users drops to red, focus on that as it's the problem
but work on the other stuff the rest of the time
like if users doesn't go red
I'm voting quality
then users
then quality
then questions/answers
then we have 4/4/0/whatever
might be worth getting upvotes up first
since downvotes reduces users maybe?
users and quality seem to directly contradict each other
every time users is up, quality is difficult, every time quality is up, users are difficult
 
@Flyk Who guessed it.
 
I wonder if users increases questions
maybe we need to get users to 4 first
 
12:53 PM
I am back to the game for few more minutes
 
think 80 days is worse than last time anyway
 
I didn't imagined that i will love downvote someday
Public beta?
How?
We graduated before.
 
we won the internet
 
then what happened?
 
I started again
 
12:59 PM
why?
And what was the price to win the internet
 
because there was nothing else to do after winning?
 
ahhh
 
1:13 PM
@atticae now i remember. That bot interactive user was from the year before that maybe.

Q: 'Wizard of Oz' versions and clones?

Jan DoggenI know of a 'Wizard of OZ' 1925 and 1939 version. There is also a 1982 animated version. Are there any other (maybe non-English) versions or parodies that I am unaware of?

But I guess there are still enough people elsewhere who didn't yet get the message that restarting is for assholes.
