11:09 AM
@badp I translated that one Turkish message that guy posted, he posted a question as an answer.
 
@Mana You'll notice my comment addresses that
 
oh
I see you noted that
yeah
 
The ending '?' kinda gave it away :P
 
well now I feel stupid GOODBYE WORLD
 
noooooooo
you haven't even earned copy editor yet
 
11:10 AM
oh, right
What's the query for the amount of edits you've done again?
 
Don't worry @badp, @Mana has trouble following through on such threats.
 
dunno, but you were a couple of edits ahead of me at the last update
@ArdaXi I'd rather keep it that way tyvm
 
That's a very descriptive title!
 
So, you need 212
I need 402
Race ya for it?
 
11:12 AM
Okay, I edit the same stuff too much. I need 308
LET'S MARK RANDOM QUESTIONS GAME-REC
 
:(
Have I mentioned what a horrible mod you're going to make? I think I need to mention it again anyways.
 
puts a game-rec tag on @Mana
 
17 hours ago, by badp
No, Mana. I AM MAKING A TERRIBLE MOD.
 
noooooooo take it off take it off take it off
 
KILL IT WITH FIRE
 
11:15 AM
lights self on fire
 
is now known as Pyro
 
kills the tag with fire
 
Aww.
fires flare gun, misses, and ignites @badp
 
ANYWAYS.
This Civ V Spy Mod question thing.
 
I'm currently made of diamond. I can't catch fire.
 
11:16 AM
You just disregarded @badp being on fire?
 
Have you ever seen diamond on fire?
 
It's problematic. I thought I had my thoughts organized on it, but now I don't.
 
@badp No, you have a diamond. It failed to deflect my gun.
And yes, I have.
 
It's not really that I think it's any different from any other mod rec questions
 
Like any biological material, diamond is perfectly capable of ignition.
 
11:17 AM
@ArdaXi Tsk, why do you think I turned blue then?
 
@badp Holding your breath as the results came in.
 
carbon + energy = diamond
it's like basic chemistry
stares
for the purposes of this room anyway
 
but rather that it makes me wonder what separates "Can I do this?" with an answer of "Yes you can do this using mods x and y" from "Can I do this with mods?" with an answer of "Yes, using mods x and y".
 
(The YouTube clip was pulled recently)
 
see, Arda, I characterized myself, so that Grace doesn't have to
 
11:18 AM
@Mana's reaction is pretty much like Jen's.
 
...:( I feel so alone in this world.
 
@Mana Fire? Fire? No? Okay.
 
@Mana life can't be easy with glowing horns.
 
Watches as the game-rec tag ignites. I'll just put this over here with the rest of the fire. puts tag on @badp
 
wtf, why did the it crowd channel clear all of its videos
 
11:21 AM
Copyright claims
 
...it's the official channel
is it not?
 
I don't think so. Why else would they have copyright claims?
 
Well, it's got series and profile pictures etc.
looks pretty official as youtube profiles go
 
I love how YouTube underscored how often this happens by designing a logo for it.
 
I guess they just restricted it to the UK
I guess I'm going to be perfectly rational about it and torrent the series as a result
 
11:23 AM
No, then it says "not available in your region"
@badp Way ahead of you. Want the DVD?
 
Let's not put links here maybe.
stares
 
Just get it here: D:\rips\it_crowd\VIDEO_TS
 
Okay, just a sec.
pulls IP from Arda's profile
 
Oh, hang on, I'll start nginx.
 
You didn't think I'd do that right? :P
 
11:26 AM
Wheee, just added to my followed list.
 
Well, you're a bad mod, I just assumed it came with the job.
 
I'd rather continue being a bad mod, rather than becoming a bad former mod
so that I can take some flak for you, you ungrateful person
@Mana I approve of your favourite tags, hope you liked my addition
 
Gah, why do I have to be big blind on such a bad hand?
 
@badp duly noted and appreciated

Q: Fallout New Vegas: Deadwind Cavern Legendary Deathclaw Level

benhowdle89What level is it advised for your character to be before entering Deadwind Cavern and fighting the Legendary Deathclaw. I am level 24, companion Boone and still get my ass kicked.

 
11:31 AM
Mornin' Grace
 
Hey @GraceNote. As usual, I have not at all mentioned you in your absence.
runs
 
you can run, but you can't hide.
 
hides
 
Hey @Grace. I know you said to reply to bwarner's comments on the Civ V Spy Mod issue but I'm genuinely kind of stumped here.
I was going to make a point about the difference between "Can spies be added to Civ V" and "Can I add spies to Civ V through mods", but then realized that both would most likely get the same sorts of answers and suffer from the same problems
I had like this overly-convoluted example worked out involving Person X, Person A, Person B, Person C, and Person D. It was great.
Wait. Wait wait wait. I just got it. I just realized everything.
@Arda did you vote for @badp in the mod elections?!
 
:o
 
11:36 AM
@Mana Why would you even?
 
@Mana That does not compute
 
I am hurt.
 
Nononono, see it makes sense
 
If Can spies be added to Civ V is the same as Can I add spies to Civ V through mods, and the former is acceptable, then the latter can be dissociated into the former, neh?
 
Sure, he might've voted for me to show people how bad I'd be
 
11:37 AM
@Mana HOW RUDE
 
Also, the typical term for gameplay after the plot is "post-game"
 
18 hours ago, by badp
No, Mana. I AM MAKING A TERRIBLE MOD.
 
Yup, the mod I'm making is some jQuery/websockets/chat/python/beautiful soup monster
I'm so going to mod chat into my needs
 
Feb 1 at 21:44, by Mana
@Arda YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A TERRIBLE MOD
Everything falls into place.
 
Wait... no...
Even if I had voted for badp, I wouldn't have put him first.
 
11:39 AM
@Arda Oh.
 
I think @Mana would never say "MAKE A TERRIBLE MOD" and mean "BE A TERRIBLE MODERATOR", that wouldn't be correct English from the Mana we all know and love.
 
You have end-game for the last chapters where most everything is available to do, then for the games where there is more accessible after you completed the final parts, the post-game covers that.
Also, Mana, like Arda, you wouldn't be turned into a mermaid.
 
@GraceNote We know you're right, no need to back it up with facts.
 
@Grace Agreed.
 
@GraceNote Are you saying I'm not a mermaid?
 
11:40 AM
@ArdaXi I've never said you were.
 
Mind if I replace with , then?
 
@ArdaXi You didn't turn into a mermaid. You are one.
 
@GraceNote Right. You just made other people say it.
@Mana We have synonyms for that.
 
If you turned into a mermaid, it means that at some point you weren't.
 
wait how does one replace tags again? Do you start up a--oh right @Arda
 
11:40 AM
@ArdaXi Properly blame @badp for that.
 
@GraceNote No, I blame you and your freaky interrogation.
 
I'd like to mention that @Grace also didn't deny your being a mermaid.
 
If you had been straight about just saying "blonde and blue eyes", we could've gone straight to the perky blonde angle without all this nonsense about you being a mermaid.
 
@badp Not directly.
 
meh, @grace, there's photographic evidence.
 
11:42 AM
@GraceNote If you had just not asked the question, we would all have saved a lot of time.
 
Not me, I'd lose time by not asking it because I'd have to work on it on my own
Which may have been a disaster, I was originally shooting at brunette
 
Well, I still don't know why you picked me...
Also, one thing that was bothering me. What do ringlets have to do with wealth?
 
@Arda It's because Grace is, in fact, also partly tsundere.
 
1 hour ago, by Arda Xi
@badp You know, my first instinct to say when she was interrogating me was "I'm fairly sure you're not my type anyway."
 
She teases you all the time because...uhm...some complicated romantic stuff.
 
11:44 AM
When a specific design element, ringlets tend to be a mark of the high-and-mighty upper-class girl.
Especially when combined with other traits
There is a minimum threshold of traits you must have before you are privileged to have drill hair.
 
room topic changed to The Bridge: of Gaming's StackExchange™ AlienOverlord AskQuestion™ mothership, wherein we celebrate our second Trusted User™ and our 100,000 messages. No mentions of Arda are made in this topic to make sure he does not feel at the center of attention. Please pay him no mind.
 
Arda's hair is the hair to pierce the heavens. Eventually.
 
There you go Arda.
 
@badp Sheesh. You don't exactly pick up hints, do you.
 
@badp The first rule of talking about Arda is not to talk about Arda. Or something.
 
11:46 AM
No, I was the one not talking to you. Except I am incapable of not talking.
I'll just resort to talking about not talking to you.
 
@YiJiang The second rule of talking about Arda is YOU DO NOT. TALK. ABOUT ARDA.
 
Okay, so how can we make the site more mermaid accessible? I think pixelation can be difficult to read underwater.
 
Third rule: If someone says "stop" or goes limp, taps out the conversation is over.

Rule 4 doesn't really work here.
 
Nor the fifth as we've demonstrated on numerous occasions.
 
7 works beautifully, and I say we force 8.
 
11:50 AM
Awesome. I'll boot up Photoshop.
 
Why?
 
Isn't it obvious? To make this a thing.
 
Wow, a $180k debt at the Inventory. I suck.
 
@ArdaXi Um, I wasn't aware there were 8 rules
 
@badp That's too bad.
 
11:54 AM
 
Oh, I thought they were like 4
 
I wanna see the entire film played by Edward
 
rules 4-7 are like technicalities
 
@badp They are essential.
 
Not as essential as 1, 2 or 8.
but meh.
Go ahead.
So long as you don't break 1.
So you're going to talk about rules of something that doesn't exist I guess
That'll be interesting.
 
11:59 AM
I just broke the first two rules of Fight Club. And I'm proud of it!
 
suspends
 
prepares email to Jeff
@badp You were saying?
 
you're not scaring me, if I have to suspend you I'll do ;)
and you don't seem suspended to me

Q: Where can I report SC2 bugs to Blizzard? (also, check out this wild creep glitch)

RyanTook this with my phone hence it's not pixel accurate like a screen shot would be but you can see what I was seeing, I had been watching a Replay and switched my Textures graphics level then went and joined a 2v2 only to find my creep was looking kind of interesting... what the heck? Next game it...

 
@badp But if you do... this is in my drafts.
 
12:01 PM
Something seems slightly off about this question. I can't quite place it, but...
 
@ArdaXi I'm quaking in my space boots.
 
@badp YOU'D BETTER BE
 
Dead Space 2 Boots.
That's how we'll get sponsors. We'll run a script on the site that automatically replaces any usage of the word Space with Dead Space 2.

Hahaha that was a funny one.
FUNNY GUY @BADP beats up
Anyways. throws @badp aside
 
ow
 
@Mana I've got lots of Dead Space 2 in my attic, would you like to move there?
 
12:05 PM
Sure, although I must warn you that I take up lots of Dead Space 2.
 
Also, the International Dead Space 2 station is just orbiting overhead
 
I love the Dead Space 2bar on my keyboard. It's so useful.
Imagine life without Dead Space 2s!
Horrible.
 
I've just calculated the Dead Space 2 complexity of this algorithm
 
Thatwouldnotbeverygoodno.
 
BTW please Dead Space 2 out your edits, batch is evil
 
12:08 PM
If only I could stop Dead Space 2ing out during boring lectures...
 
Hm, I've gained more rep than tzenes this month. Not good.
 
Oh, good, I haven't gained more rep than tzenes this month
 
Like all other months.
 
@GraceNote Neither have I! We won't be on tzene's hit list, phew...
 
What did tzenes gain?
 
12:11 PM
I shouldn't even be in the single digit ranks. This is preposterous
 
he gained a measly 1,207
 
I'm #33
The all-time rankings are reasonable.
 
I believe we should extend the advertising offer to Wikipedia - I'm sure they'd appreciate it
 
1:00 PM
@YiJiang advertising offer?
 
57 mins ago, by Mana
That's how we'll get sponsors. We'll run a script on the site that automatically replaces any usage of the word Space with Dead Space 2.
 
chuckles
 
1:13 PM
Am I the only one who finds it weird that even though you've all figured out I'm only pretending not to like the attention in order to get attention, I still get all this attention?
 
Invisible mermaids are weird that way
 
Who's the invisible mermaid now?
 
Since they can't be seen they must make themselves heard I guess
 
I'm talking about your weird behaviour.
 
We talk about you, you complain. We don't talk about you, you complain.
That's what you do, and the explanation is perfectly logic.
I like to mix things up however.
 
1:15 PM
Yes. I am completely logical. That's my style
About time someone figured that out.
Also, is the room's description intentionally ironic?
 
Use logic.
 
Hmm, if I factor in your mental capability... nope.
 
I see you have some erroneous data in your database, but that doesn't surprise me
 
@badp Trusted User?
 
@badp Yes. database = database.Select(user => user.id != 23) Much better.
 
1:20 PM
 
Couple more of those and you won't need mods much
 
The fourth non-mod user is 9k rep away, so we'll need mods for a while.
 
Hey!
 
I'm sorry, Oak now counts.
 
Better.
 
1:25 PM
Interesting article on JOEL SPOLSKY
What an awesome name. I wish I had that cool of a name.
 
"In an exclusive Q&A, we caught up with CEO Spolsky" Very punny indeed..
 
interesting to see how it's presented to the outside world
 
@Cross I know, yeah?
Like, when we think about things on this site...I'm rarely thinking about how people perceive the Stack Exchange network as a whole. But then articles like this pop up and I'm like "woah".
 
«You mean I can finally know how is babby formed?»

@badp Wasn't there a biology.SE proposed?
 
1:32 PM
I guess that at this point there's an SE proposal for every vocabulary word
and then some
 
STARS FOR THE STAR MERMAID
wait no that doesn't work here
 
nope, doesn't.
I'm afraid I'm too heavy to swim now.
 
Your flag weight is too high.
 
195 isn't that high
 
Wait, don't all mods have flag weights of 500?
 
1:34 PM
Why would they?
 
what's my flag weight?
 
Hm, point taken.
 
We consume flags, we don't generate them
 
@Cross It should be on your profile page
 
When I flag it's rather like "note to self, delete this in a hour"
@CRoss you haven't flagged enough
If your flag weight is "average" it won't be shown
 
1:35 PM
ahhh
 
ohh
 
For reference, Community is 290. (It autoflags low quality answers and the like.)
 
yay, my flag weight isn't average
 
must flag more! ;-)
 
If you really want to min-max this number, /review is an excellent starting point
 
1:37 PM
Nice job @Pie21, reached your name reputation within 2 minutes of your first contribution
 
Pie? Where?
 
Well in the gaming site thing
coincidentally, I am eating pie at the moment
 
PIE HUNT!
 
What? Why would you fold instead of check as a big blind?
 
@Arda what
 
1:48 PM
(he's playing Poker Night at the Inventory)
 
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
@badp Right. Thanks stalker.
 
@ArdaXi You're on Steam.
 
Doesn't make it not stalking
 
For a meaning of stalking I wasn't previously aware of
 
1:50 PM
> Harass or persecute (someone) with unwanted and obsessive attention
 
> stalk, v. [...] 6. check the status of a friend on a social network
 
That sounds like something you're all good at.
 
Hey @badp, do you know how Google indexing works with Stack Exchange?
 
um, I don't think there's any magic peculiar to SE
 
oh okay
but like
 
1:52 PM
It's just pagerank from StackOverflow
Why do you think there are those links at the bottom?
 
We had google juice before we graduated and appeared in SO's footer.
 
If someone searched "Civilization 5 mods" and I asked a question "Civilization 5 mods?", would that be more likely to turn up as a result compared to the question "How do I find Civilization 5 mods?"
 
SO -> A51 -> GSE

This afternoon will be an afternoon of Getting Stuff Done ™.
 
@ThomasMcDonald
 
user30
1:54 PM
Ooh, some wild freelance work appears.
 
been there, done that, got the t-shirt (but not stuff done)
oh! That's not a creature I've encountered yet.
 
I have, but it always flees when it sees me.
 
I guess my usual approach (lvl 16 procrastination) is useless there.
 
user30
Actually, that was unexpected, it was from a guy I did some work for like 8 months ago and haven't spoke to since.
 
Oh yeah.
No! Don't fold, you idiots!
 
user30
1:55 PM
Anyway, I have some personal statements and whatnot to write. I imagine I'll be back within ten minutes, when I've had enough.
 
How does searching even work I'm so confused
 
Thank God three pair isn't a hand.
 
user30
@Mana What is this I don't even.
 
flag weight 150, is that bad?
 
@CRoss no, you start at 100
 
1:57 PM
Yay. Some people have it worse than me!
 
+10 per valid flag, +5 per valid comment flag, -5 per invalid comment flag, -10 per invalid flag
IIRC
 
Huh. But I didn't even flag 8 times.
Where did I get 185?
 
user30
@ArdaXi Pity.
 
starting at 0?
 
starting at 100
 
1:58 PM
oh, ok
 
@badp When did this counter start?
 
@Mana For you? 7 months ago.
 
Oh okay. That's cool.
