Q: I can't remember the name of this ~1998 PS1 platformer starring a pink haired character

There is a game I used to play, and I can't remember its name! I actually played it on a demo disc for the Playstation. All I can remember about it is that it was a platform game and that the character had pink hair. I can remember playing it with my little cousin when he was 10 years old, so it...

Q: Mu Online level up guide

Can anyone provide a good level up guide comprising each class in Mu Online ? What I want is basically a table relating level to training spots or strategies. I am using free servers, not paying for items with real money or accessing gold channels.

@OrigamiRobot I think you're trying to make the argument that Stack Exchange has a separate definition of quality from the general definition of quality, so a bad question on Stack Exchange is not necessarily a bad question anywhere else. I'm saying that's not the case: Stack Exchange's quality guidelines are borne from general definitions of quality: we're just fairly good at enumerating what makes a question good or bad.

agent86

@Wipqozn maybe you should start a meta thread or something?

and/or flag these if you think they need deletion?

Wipqozn

@agent86 I know haha, I starting looking for an example question... but now I'm just seeing out terrible question.

@agent86 not supposed to flag for closing.

agent86

yeah, was thinking more for deletion

Juan Manuel

@Wipqozn +1

FAE

@Wipqozn I was under the impression this was appropriate for really old crap that's been sitting around for ages.

OrigamiRobot

9:03 PM

@MarkTrapp What is the reason for downvoting a question?

agent86

but you're probably going to spam people and run their enthusiasm out.

Wipqozn

@FAE Just post in chat.

user2334

@agent86 The vote seems awfully close. Not exactly the consensus I personally was expecting

Wipqozn

With that said, I think I might actually start a meta thread.

Juan Manuel

@FAE really old crap that's been sitting around for ages = delete

FAE

9:04 PM

@Wipqozn The spam thing, pretty much.

Wipqozn

I'll take the time to go through all the pages ever, and post all the questions that need to be closed.

FAE

@JuanManuel Well I know I've flagged stuff like that for closure before and it's been approved.

Sterno

@NickT ZOMG stop retagging all the meta questions

Wipqozn

@FAE flags are auto-approved if a post is closed/deleted.

user2334

@OrigamiRobot To dock the user points for wasting people's time, to alert others that the question is a waste of time, and to hopefully get it off the question lists with a -4 score faster than it can be deleted

Juan Manuel

9:05 PM

@FAE yeah, I've acted on quite a lot of yours too, but they were probably candidate for deletion too

FAE

@Wipqozn Well my point there is no one's ever said "No, bad FAE, don't do this."

Wipqozn

@FAE I only found out about this amonth ago myself, for the same reason.

I noticed a flag was declined since it was said to "not require moderator attention".

I asked and chat, and @GraceNote was nice enough to clear things up for me and understand why.

OrigamiRobot

@MarkTrapp I'm saying if you don't see a difference, why are downvotes and closevotes separate?

Wipqozn

Conclusion was the flags should only be used when you need a moderator for something. Since I can cast close votes, I don't need to flag for closure.

FAE

@Wipqozn That's the opposite of the experience I've had, if you'll notice.

Wipqozn

9:07 PM

@FAE Same here, because, as I said above, flags are auto-approved when a question is closed.

Fabian

@FAE Flagging is okay even if you can vote to close if the question is old enough that it won't be able to accumulate the necessary close votes. For a new question that still has some visibility, it isn't necessary and might result in declined flags.

FAE

@Fabian Yeah, I've only ever done that on stuff that's like, from 2010

Wipqozn

@Fabian Yeah, I can agree with that, but as grace pointed out you could just post it here in chat.

I've had to swift my entire flagging paradigm actually, since I seem to have been under a completely wrong impression of what flags are used for.

Sterno

Posting in chat to get a mods attention doesn't seem much different than flagging it

agent86

I think there's some threshold for age and downvotes that takes care of "old stuff"

Wipqozn

9:08 PM

@Sterno posting in chat to get the attention of other 3k+ users.

Sterno

So you're bothering 4 people instead of 1?

Don't get me wrong, I link stuff in here for closure all the time

agent86

@Sterno flags are for when a moderator is required, not when they would make something happen faster

(to misquote @grace, who will show up shortly to teach my why the subtle difference means everything)

Sterno

But I don't really see it as awful to flag some out-of-the-way post that your single VTC will never close without help

@agent86 I understand the argument. I'm just disagreeing with it in this circumstance. :)

Grace Note

9:10 PM

@Sterno A single vote to close never closes without help.

Wipqozn

@agent86 Yeah, I'm surprised she hasn't come in yet.

user2334

@OrigamiRobot I do see a difference. Voting is a personal action, closing is a community action. They have overlap, but they aren't the same things. It's like the difference between voting for an initiative, and volunteering as an activist for an initiative. An activist is still going to vote.

Wipqozn

There she is.

Sterno

@GraceNote True, but on new ME3 questions, I can VTC something as a dupe, and will rest fairly assured that even without linking it in here, 4 more people will see it and VTC it

Some 8 month old post... not so much.

Grace Note

@Sterno Right, which is the meat of the stuff you don't need to flag for moderator attention.

agent86

9:11 PM

@Sterno you... disagree with me? on the internet? Don't you realize I have enormous amounts of fake authority??

user2334

@agent86 Power! Limited, narrowly scoped power!

agent86

why, I could... do very little to you for that.

Sterno

@GraceNote That part I definitely agree with.

agent86

maybe go downvote something. Not a lot of things, but just a few.

Grace Note

@Sterno Older stuff is still plausible, but it's also stuff that normal users can handle, especially thanks to chat. Which means that having a moderator take time off to handle that is time not spent handling, perhaps, more urgent material that only a moderator can handle.

agent86

9:12 PM

but then I'd feel bad afterwards :(

Sterno

@agent86 You can just sit back, wait for some serial upvotes from about 2 hours ago to get reverted, and revel in my rep loss!

Fabian

@Wipqozn That works for this site, it doesn't work for many others with completely deserted chat rooms

This is the best thing I've watched in a long time.

agent86

if it's so old that nobody's looking at it, what does it matter if it's open or closed? I can see an argument for maybe it being a broken window, but again, nobody's looking at it

Sterno

@GraceNote That's fair. If I were to do it (which I probably wouldn't because I'd get yelled at!), I'd post in chat first and only flag it if not enough people were around/interested-in-clicking-it to VTC it themselves

@agent86 OCD!

Grace Note

9:14 PM

It's basically a matter of outsourcing - the site is community run, so we figure that the segment that can handle things like closure can, well, handle it (since we have quite enough in our chat room for that), leaving the stuff they can't handle to those whose appointed position is to do just that, make calls or handle tasks that a normal user cannot do.

Sterno

@agent86 I'll know it's there. I'll lie awake at night thinking about it!

Fabian

I moderate very small sites compared to Gaming, so my perspective is a bit skewed towards smaller sites. On Skeptics or Biology I can't get stuff closed by the community by posting it in chat, as there is at most a few moderators there.

Wipqozn

@Fabian yeah, I agree our site is an exception to many rules due to our active chat.

agent86

@FAE Joker is epic :) I enjoy his and EDI's banter

there's one part where he and garrus are having a joke-off - did you catch that?

FAE

9:16 PM

@agent86 yes, almost died laughing

Sterno

I was thinking about this after a similar discussion the other day. Proper behavior at <3k rep is to flag to close, but at 3k+ rep it's to VTC. It's kind of weird in a way.

but now work time is over and off to home I go!

agent86

@Sterno this is why trying to flag as one of the close reasons turns into a VTC :)

usually if something's got a couple of close votes on it and it gets flagged by a user without VTC, I ignore it

usually the situation resolves itself shortly

Hmm, I'm not sure if there's a restriction on ME1 on Xbox. If so, I'd suspect it's because of the cross-system build then for ME2/3.

Ullallulloo

@GraceNote This. I'm really wishing that I owned a smart phone right about now.

FAE

@GraceNote Yeah, that was the only solution for 2, I was hoping there was perhaps some workaround for 3. :(

Grace Note

@StrixVaria ...I suppose there are worse things you could've picked in terms of relative complexity to draw.

StrixVaria

10:37 PM

@GraceNote I think the only reason it's a thing to draw is because it also means something else. I just went for the Pokemon one because I know it so well.

Grace Note

@FAE Lethal Crisis has a limit on the number of replays you can "preserve" outside of the auto-save bucket, so I've had to do this kind of thing for a while.

StrixVaria

Also, now that I'm home, time to download Diablo 3!!!!!!!

FAE

@GraceNote Someone apparently made a mod for 2 that removed the save limit, but I could not get it to work.

Tristan

@StrixVaria I know ALL gen 1 pokemon.

FAE

@Tristan The screaming has commenced.

StrixVaria

10:39 PM

@Tristan I know ALL Pokemon.

Grace Note

@StrixVaria I meant specifically in terms of Pokemon, heh, though admittedly Golem is one of the few that's purely a word.

StrixVaria

Except a few from Gen 5 because I've only played through it twice.

@GraceNote I wouldn't want to try drawing Mewtwo, that's for sure.

Grace Note

@StrixVaria Or Nidoking.

StrixVaria

@GraceNote I think I could do Nidoking.

Grace Note

It'd be mighty annoying. Those spikes...

Tristan

10:40 PM

@FAE It seriously took me close to an hour in there to clear every bit of it...

StrixVaria

IT'S DOWNLOADING

Wipqozn

What are you downloading @StrixVaria...?

Tristan

@StrixVaria Do you have the free version of Draw Something?

StrixVaria

@Tristan Yes. I went to buy it but I didn't have my new credit card info saved and didn't feel like getting it out.

FAE

@Tristan it's driving me nuts to leave it behind

StrixVaria

10:41 PM

I'm a little worried I'll lose my color packs if I upgrade.

@Wipqozn Diablo 3 (•‿•)

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria The full game? I'm rather confused.

FAE

@StrixVaria It's really amusing to see you in squee mode

Tristan

@FAE I know the feeling.

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn Pre-load.

Ben Brocka

preloading is a wonderful thing

Tristan

10:43 PM

@StrixVaria It claims you won't lose your current games or color packs. I have no color packs. =(

StrixVaria

@Tristan I have enough saved up for a third color pack. The only 2 colors I've ever wanted but not had are light blue and magenta. I don't think they come in the same pack.

Grace Note

Criminy, why did I not listen to Crush Crawfish until today?

Wipqozn

@GraceNote Yeah, that's a good one.

Now that you mention it, I'm going to listen to that one again haha

Grace Note

@Wipqozn I also couldn't help but chuckle when the soundclips in the Final Weapon song played...

Ronan Forman

I'm supprised I haven't asked any dupes yet.

@RonanForman you're a duplicate.
