Mos Eisley Cantina

5:00 PM

@MikeEdenfield Don't burn the house down, and this room is here for as long as you want it. Whether Mos comes back or not by the end of the day, I don't know.

phantom42

my pushback is more that we should be discussing the bigger issues like behavior, rather than what we call ourselves

2

Mike Edenfield

@ryan obviously. you have to read the rest of the quote, in context, which is in the question.

@phantom42 This, +100.

ryan

@MikeEdenfield meh, extra work

Mike Edenfield

@ArtOfCode I just want to know which room to run Joshua in :)

ArtOfCode

@MikeEdenfield Either/any/all. It's not computationally expensive to run multiple instances.

On the subject of bots, I should fire up Taggy.

ryan

5:03 PM

@ArtOfCode no

we don't like your bot, we like Joshua

ArtOfCode

No, Taggy. Not Karma. Taggy bothers SO, not chat :)

ryan

@ArtOfCode ah, carry on then

ArtOfCode

Multiple bots and names for them all.

Mike Edenfield

@phantom42 I'm becoming mildly concerned at certain signs indicating that such a change in behavior may not be as forthcoming as it should be. :(

phantom42

and without wanting to get into it, i hope mods/room owners are discussing all of the arguments last week/recently, and not just the one from friday night.

lets use a different room every day. with a different bot in each room

Himarm

5:07 PM

oo

i want to make a himarm room

called himarms playtime

phantom42

that doesnt sound creepy at all

Mike Edenfield

@phantom42 Friday was a bit of an anomaly from our usual pattern, and frankly, I think the end result was entirely justified.

and yeah, dude. CREEPY

maybe you should run your ideas past someone else before you say them. If they shiver visibly, shelve it.

phantom42

if we do change the room every day, no one will ever be able to say, "oh, it's that [mos eisley] room again"

like the island from lost.

Mike Edenfield

we'll run out of room names eventually.

based on the meta question, some time in 2036.

phantom42

well, that and it's a terrible idea.

Himarm

5:09 PM

himarms playtime will have a public announcement that everything goes

phantom42

@MikeEdenfield i dont disagree in the least

ryan

Can I assume that if a usual's icon is missing from the side they've been put in time out for a bit?

phantom42

or they "left" the room

or just havent come into this particular one, which is entirely possible since it's like the 16th new one created since the freeze

Himarm

@ryan if you suspect someone is suspended you can just search the user and see the 1 point next to their names

phantom42

i dont think i've seen sly on at all since it all went down

Himarm

5:12 PM

i saw her leave a comment on friday and then disappear.

Keen

Nvm

phantom42

that was before the suspensions were done

ArtOfCode

@phantom42 She's not suspended.

ryan

@phantom42 well that's what I was wondering, I haven't been on since Friday night, and at that point we were all in a 'say whatever' room wad created

phantom42

@ArtOfCode i know. just pointing out that she hasn't been around, so she may not show up as being "here"

ArtOfCode

5:13 PM

aye

Mike Edenfield

@ryan I had a mod ping her into Agents of Nothing so she could read what happened.

but I don't think she ever came in

ArtOfCode

Wasn't that here?

OK, maybe not.

shrug

Mike Edenfield

it wasn't here because I wasn't in here until yesterday :)

ArtOfCode

Point.

ryan

So wad's say whatever room got nuked too?

ArtOfCode

5:16 PM

@ryan Remember what it was called?

phantom42

off topic is on topic

or something like that

ryan

lol ^ was exactly what I was going to say

Himarm

i got a room nuked yesterday

phantom42

chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/31532

Himarm

i flagged my own message

>.<

phantom42

5:18 PM

@Himarm why

ArtOfCode

@phantom42 Aye, that got nuked I think.

ryan

@phantom42 certainly looks nuked

Himarm

a few others where chatting about the incident, but none were their, so i clarified some facts for them, then decided i should prob just delete my msgs, but 2 were 2 old, so i flaged them for deletion, and the room got nuked >.<

phantom42

yeah, it only shows if you look at the list of frozen/deleted rooms.

Himarm

i thought i was doing the right thing!

ryan

5:20 PM

@phantom42 I clicked the 'show frozen rooms' button, saw 7 tabs of frozen rooms and ran away

ArtOfCode

@Himarm In any ordinary circumstances, you would have been.

Himarm

i missed the memo' any flags result in room being frozen"

i feel slightly bad since my question to Richard started the whole convo, i just wanted to know the legal age in the UK when doctors didnt have to report medical info to parents >.<

Q: Inca Kola sales/promotion and a cat that rules the world/universe

looking for the title of a campy novel about Inca Kola sales/promotion and a cat that rules the world/universe. read it about 20 years ago thought I had saved but can't find. gave many books to my daughter who got rid of some. really funny would like to read again.

story-identification

Himarm

@ArtOfCode yep i got that out of the whole thing, and 18 in most cases in the US if a parent actually asks.

Mike Edenfield

5:24 PM

@Himarm do not feel bad; there's no finger pointing going on but if there were they wouldn't be pointing at you.

CodesInChaos

@ArtOfCode They figured that out before the whole thing slid into the abortion debate. Though for some reason the harmless part of the discussion was deleted as well.

ArtOfCode

How does that devolve into abortion debate?

Mike Edenfield

it doesn't.

lets not go into it.

ArtOfCode

Point.

Mike Edenfield

SO

ryan

5:25 PM

So what happens to a bounty offered by someone that currently has 1 rep?

Himarm

it gets auto assinged?

Mike Edenfield

don't you give up the rep when you offer the bounty?

ArtOfCode

@ryan It's still there. Can still be awarded.

Mike Edenfield

in which case it just gets awarded as normal?

phantom42

@ryan bounty was taken out at time of posting

Himarm

5:26 PM

are they able to award while suspended?

phantom42

/sigh

ArtOfCode

Well, can still be awarded if you come back in time to award.

what 3 days ago, gah I need 10k rep

ArtOfCode

@ryan flag on a 3 day old message in Agents of Nothing.

Someone got to invalidating it before I, though.

Mike Edenfield

UGH.

dont talk about it dont talk about it dont talk about it

Himarm

i spamed invalidate real fast

SQB

Would someone who can still talk in the original Mos Eisely post a link to here? For instance @Donald.McLean or @Pureferret?

Himarm

ryan

5:29 PM

I was gonna say what got flagged we kept Agents so on topic we moved Magic the Gathering talk out of it

ArtOfCode

done

ryan

but I see

We could totally find a MtG comic though

><

Himarm

almost time for lunch

chinese food left overs, mmm

Mike Edenfield

I went to pack my backpack for work this morning and found a Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese I had put in there on my way home from work on Friday.

considered eating it for breakfast for a minute.

ryan

@JackBNimble can you draw an MtG comic so we can talk about it in Agents..

Himarm

5:32 PM

is their a TLDR on talking about non-sci-fi stuff in chat now?

phantom42

@MikeEdenfield probably still good

ryan

@MikeEdenfield considered being the key word right...?

Mike Edenfield

@Himarm not exactly but we need to be careful how far off-topic we veer.

Himarm

@MikeEdenfield have you downloaded the MCD app?

Mike Edenfield

of course, an on-topic but politically charged discussion isn't a good idea either.

@ryan it was too stale.

ArtOfCode

5:33 PM

@MikeEdenfield such as?

Mike Edenfield

@ArtOfCode Well, some of the things in John Ringo's books would likely get us shut down.

Himarm

so mostly shy away from the major political diverse topics, guns ect? which is good the gun debate was going in circles lol

ArtOfCode

@Himarm yep.

ryan

@ArtOfCode my first example would make phantom go on a Starwars rant

ArtOfCode

@MikeEdenfield Can't say I know them.

Mike Edenfield

5:34 PM

@ArtOfCode fanlore.org/wiki/OH_JOHN_RINGO_NO

@ryan /glares

though to be fair, it's OK to have contentious topics if y'all can be nice and respect each other

ryan

@phantom42 hey don't give me that look! I totally refrained :)

Himarm

i still have my free sandwich to pick up from mc'ds for downloading their app

Mike Edenfield

@Himarm just don't say anything that you know is going to offend or anger someone else.

problem solved.

phantom42

5:35 PM

i got free fries last week because someone was confused

ryan

Confusion fries, those are the best.

phantom42

Himarm

whenever the chicago sports teams win, i get a free drink or fries, or brekfast samich

Mike Edenfield

@phantom42 in which case it's impossible to 'anger' you?

Himarm

@steelerfan wave

phantom42

5:37 PM

@ryan i ordered mcrib for wife. two cheeseburgers for me, and a fries. got double fries.

steelerfan

@Himarm Hey buddy!

Mike Edenfield

for example, I would like to post a photo right now with a picture of a Raven on it. but that would offend @steelerfan so I'm not going to.

@phantom42 you sure they didn't charge you for 2 meals?

In this scene, Beorn says that he has never heard of Gandalf the Grey.

@steelerfan That's fine, but I can't very well go around telling everyone to just accept that there are things we can't get away with in here if I keep trying to get away with them.

@MikeEdenfield nope. double checked.

@Himarm I dunno why you would get anything free for the Cubs winning, they ruined Back to the Future day.

Himarm

@ryan that was before they ruined it

since the season ended aka no more free stuff after they ruined it

Mike Edenfield

@Slytherincess We broke all the things on Friday. We're better now.

ryan

Oh, yea guess that's true

Monday brain works well

steelerfan

@MikeEdenfield :)

Slytherincess

5:42 PM

@MikeEdenfield Good Lord! Well, at least someone rebuilt this chatroom!

ryan

lol this room has 20 room owners

Himarm

@Slytherincess the other 20 or so rooms that got frozen will be given back eventually!

Mike Edenfield

we have too many owners. it's almost pointless.

deowner everyone but @Slytherincess @Praxis and one owner to be named later. :)

Hm. Might be worth curating owners.

StackExchange

ArtOfCode has removed Donald.McLean from the list of this room's owners.

6:05 PM

@phantom42 Donald's a mod on another site, so being on or off that list doesn't really alter their access. shrug

ryan

@Keen It's the principle man, da principle

phantom42

@Keen cool. wasnt sure if diamond powers applied to all stacks in chat or not

Mike Edenfield

@phantom42 they apply to all rooms on a given server, IIRC.

so chat.se.com/rooms/* but not chat.so.com/rooms/* or meta.chat.se.com/rooms/*

I think.

ArtOfCode

@MikeEdenfield Domain, you mean. The servers themselves are all over the place.

Q: Has Vandal Savage ever been incinerated, vaporized, etc.?

DC Comics' villain Vandal Savage is immortal and has come back from all kinds of nastiness, including falling into orbit and being burnt down to just bone. Savage's immortality is not strictly from a healing factor like Wolverine, though - it's more like a reset switch when he dies. However, this...

Jack B Nimble

I'm on vacation, but something strange seems to be going on. For instance, at no time do I ever remember being a room owner, and yet, I was apparently removed.

Axelrod

So now he's just 1 rep with 8 gold, 129 silver, and 229 bronze badges on Sci Fi?

Slytherincess

@phantom42 Things have been a little busy for me lately; I always have Mos Eisley on in the background, and often lurk. Like, for example, my daughter had her wisdom teeth out this morning, so I'm playing nursemaid. It just seems I've been extra busy with IRL stuff.

steelerfan

@Axelrod Yes :( He and Richard have been very active in M&TV.

Mike Edenfield

I would like to politely request we proceed to a topic not involving suspended users.

ryan

6:23 PM

@JackBNimble Everyone was made a room owner

Mike Edenfield

@JackBNimble SQB added everyone he could think of, I believe.

We now have the old Mos Eisely back, except in name and room number.

Who decided this?

phantom42

orlandoinformer.com/blog/…

> Unlike Universal, however, Disney’s Imagineers have opted to go in a completely different route with this more immersive approach: instead of recreating a location already depicted in the SW films or television series, the theme parks will present a brand-new planet. What’s more, Disney promises that “nothing will be out of mythology,” meaning that every building, character, and ride will tie somehow into the ever-more-unfolding Star Wars universe.

SSumner

Oh boy more reason not to go to Disney world

SQB

@ArtOfCode, why did you remove most room owners?

Axelrod

6:37 PM

@steelerfan "Yes :("

ArtOfCode

@SQB RO's are effective when everyone isn't one.

SSumner

Too many chiefs, not enough indians

@Slytherincess i certainly didn't mean that as a negative or criticism. I wish I was on here less myself sometimes.

Not really sure why I bought siracha pizza

SQB

Perhaps 19 was overdoing it, but still.

Real life calls, but I'm very unhappy with this.

Axelrod

6:41 PM

@SSumner Because sriracha pizza.

SSumner

@Axelrod all I can taste is siracha

steelerfan

Did SQB actually just stomp off? ;)

Axelrod

@SSumner Would you like some pizza with your sriracha?

Really, though, that sucks. It's great in smaller amounts.

phantom42

now i want pizza. THANKS, SSUMNER.

Himarm

i want pizza

gg

phantom42

6:45 PM

granted. i always want pizza.

so it's not really ssumners fault.

can i blame richard?

SSumner

@phantom42 - you're welcome anyway

Himarm

hes in the channel, so u can blame him

phantom42

we should blame everything on jar jar

rand al'thor

@ArtOfCode Sorry, this is just wrong.

The point of ROs is to keep the peace and stop fights from breaking out. More ROs will be more effective at stopping fights breaking out, since altogether they'll be here more of the time.

Slytherincess

@phantom42 Oh, no, I didn't take it as a criticism at all -- please don't worry about that! I was just giving a general explanation. As with anyone (I would imagine) our time in chat ebbs and flows.

ryan

6:46 PM

only pizza I have access to quickly enough for lunch is little cezars

steelerfan

@phantom42 I believe Mike E just asked us not to mention "their" names.

ryan

Mike Edenfield

@randal'thor well, if everyone is a room owner, and a fight breaks out, logically it's the RO's doing the fighting.

rand al'thor

The whole crisis in Mos Eisley could have been averted if Slytherincess and Praxis had been there at the time - or if someone who was there had been a RO and able to take steps to prevent it.

Himarm

6:47 PM

@SSumner thats my life motto

rand al'thor

@MikeEdenfield Note: I'm not proposing making Wad a RO :-)

phantom42

@steelerfan oh, at all? i actually forgot about suspensions. more referring to our old meme.

rand al'thor

@Slytherincess Hello! Great to see you here :-)

ryan

Uh... so puppies?

phantom42

@randal'thor false. there was an incident last week where a mod was participating, quite actively.

Donald.McLean

6:47 PM

@phantom42 Being a mod on any site makes one a mod in all of chat. But I try not to interfere with things in chat rooms outside the sites where I am a mod. However, if people were getting out of hand, I would have no qualms about squashing them.

steelerfan

@phantom42 Hey, doesn't bother me buddy. I was just passing the message along :)

Mike Edenfield

then again, this was SQB's room.

ryan

Puppies please??

Mike Edenfield

if this is not going to be the new "official SF&F chat room" then he should be able to make anyone RO he wants.

we'll have to wait it out.

ryan

Kitties riding on puppies?

steelerfan

6:48 PM

SQB sounded upset :(

rand al'thor

@Slytherincess We were worried you might have been too cross to come into SFF chat any more. Any word on the fate of main Mos?

phantom42

baby tapir

Himarm

true, if it was his room, it was inappropriate to go over his head on his own room.

Sean Duggan

Wow... I apparently missed a lot of drama over the weekend.

ArtOfCode

Well - it is ultimately up to you guys, if you want more RO's that's cool.

Mike Edenfield

6:49 PM

i think its too early to be making long-term decisions.

ArtOfCode

It was pointed out to me that there were ~20 RO's, which is just too much.

Mike Edenfield

lets wait for the PTB to sort things out. then deal with the fallout

ArtOfCode

So I curated them down to the original two plus Mike because he pleaded for it ;)

StackExchange

Mike Edenfield has added SQB to the list of this room's owners.

Mike Edenfield

he can figure it out when he gets back.

Praxis

6:51 PM

@randal'thor : I note what you're saying; however, a moderator did respond during the incidents in question, and they were categorically ignored. The issue is not so much with manpower. The issue is with respecting the rules and each other.

Mike Edenfield

its his room

ryan

I would like to point out that I have diligently been trying to change the topic to puppies and kitties, and even kitties riding on puppies.

steelerfan

@SeanDuggan Nothing to see here. Move on. Nothing to see here :)

Slytherincess

@randal'thor Hi! Thank you very much. And I agree that if @Praxis and I had been available, the crisis may have more readily been averted. I feel badly that I wasn't there.

rand al'thor

If I'm not missing anything in the transcript, it seems @Mike was the one to suggest de-ROing people, and a non-SFF mod obliged but left Mike as an RO. Favouritism? ;-))

phantom42

6:51 PM

3

Mike Edenfield

@Slytherincess don't. no finger pointing. just forward progress

@randal'thor you'll note I specifically said to add @phantom42

steelerfan

@phantom42 OMG!! Lol :))

Praxis

@Slytherincess : Indeed, I feel badly too about it. That being said, problems are getting out of hand, and it's not clear that more people with powers is the answer.

rand al'thor

@Praxis Non-SFF mods (with maybe a few exceptions) aren't universally liked and respected by the SFF community. You two are :-)

Himarm

i dont like strangers!

ArtOfCode

6:53 PM

@randal'thor I did de-RO Mike too, until he pleaded ;) No malice involved/intended.

Mike Edenfield

IMO that's a problem the SF&F community needs to get over.

Donald.McLean

@Praxis Fewer people being jerks is the answer, even if that means putting the worst offenders out the airlock without a space suit.

5

Praxis

@randal'thor : Both @Slytherincess and I appreciate that, but I agree with @Donald.McLean: fewer people being jerks is the answer (pardon the bluntness).

Himarm

airlocking people in battlestar was great

ArtOfCode

@randal'thor Has to be said I can't actually think of any non-SFF mods who are universally liked and respected.

Ixrec

6:54 PM

I'm thinking I'll go watch Doctor Who instead of joining this

Slytherincess

Totally unrelated, but my husband says today is the 11th anniversary of World of Warcraft.

Mike Edenfield

I'm thinking we should be careful how much further we take this conversation.

phantom42

to be fair, we often make jokes that others take far more seriously than we intended

ArtOfCode

I'm thinking Slytherincess thought that too and is trying to divert the topic.

rand al'thor

In the crisis on Friday, when some guy nobody knew came in and started moderating, he wasn't well received. If @Slytherincess or @Praxis had politely told people to shut up, I suspect everything would have calmed down very fast.

Axelrod

6:55 PM

@Slytherincess Close enough.

phantom42

the quasi-war with M/TV is evidence of that

Mike Edenfield

@phantom42 yes, and unfortunately I think we've learned that we just can't keep doing that.

Praxis

Everyone: I'm here right now to address the issue of room owner appointments. I've been discussing it with the mods and we feel that we do not wish to increase the number of room owners without elections on meta. Also, please do not take this as meaning you should go to meta right now and start an election.

7

rand al'thor

@ArtOfCode Specifically, I was thinking of you and @Donald.McLean :-)

Mike Edenfield

@randal'thor can we please move on?

ArtOfCode

6:55 PM

TOPIC CHANGE

Praxis

There are still issues to be sorted out with moving forward with chat, and so please wait until then to discuss room owner appointments.

phantom42

MOAR PUPPEHS

rand al'thor

@Praxis Thank you for settling this :-)

phantom42

Axelrod

Cats rule, dogs drool.

rand al'thor

6:56 PM

I'll still do everything I can (without RO powers) to keep the peace in here.

phantom42

rand al'thor

@Axelrod Dogs are the best.

phantom42

where's a roomowner? someone needs to be banned

Praxis

The one thing I will say (@Slytherincess, feel free to add) is that I am to happy to assign room owner deputies appointed for times when we know we can't be around. For instance, I could appoint, say, @Ixrec or @randal'thor, to be a deputy RO for a day (and then remove that power later).

Axelrod

Praxis

6:58 PM

This would be a way of keeping up chat room manpower without having elections.

phantom42

@Praxis this seems ok if you're going away for a while, but not so much for a day/few hours

Slytherincess
