People can talk here
 
video of the engineer girl begging for money or something: vimeo.com/166675367
 
@KyloRen
 
her website (I guess): Jess Sylvia
my take on this movie is: it looks dull, but the engineer girl is cute, so... it depends on how much screen time she gets
 
What is the plot?
 
the character apparently has a USB port in her arm... might be interesting I guess
 
5:34 PM
Hope @KyloRen joins us.
 
a ship went missing decades ago. They say it was destroyed, but it wasn’t. It has some sort of very important secret. The captain’s dad was on the ship.
He’ll come along eventually, I imagine.
 
The film seems a bit obscure.
 
yeah, I don’t know who any of those people are
 
Just found this.
 
5:39 PM
Why wasn't I notified this chat room was made?
@Jonah, taged me , but I was not notified
 
dunno
 
@KyloRen Sorry.
Shame I can't invite the OP
 
@Jonah, no need to be sorry, the system did not notify me. Is this an amateur film?
 
One day, when I am an all-powerful mod.
 
maybe he’ll see the link to chat
 
5:43 PM
@Jonah. could do
 
@Jonah start your PR campaign by not complaining about downvotes
 
@armadillo That bad, huh?
 
@armadillo, that is my mission
 
@Jonah it is a bit noticeable
 
@armadillo Very well.
 
5:45 PM
I could see voting for you after a while. Possibly not the next election, but it depends on when the next election happens.
 
@armadillo Thanks!
 
I'm more in the CreationEdge-for-mod camp right now. He’s a bit more established.
 
@armadillo CreationEdge is actually a mod now, right?
 
I dnt think so
 
@Jonah ohhhhhh you’re right. That’s new.
on Arts & Crafts
yeah, I was hoping for Catija and CreationEdge over there. Glad they got it.
 
5:48 PM
I believe in being nice to new users.
That'll be part of my platform.
 
I will vote for that/you
 
being really nice results in bad questions getting upvoted. Travel.SE has a plague of upvoters and a billion off-topic questions that are not deleted because of that.
 
@armadillo Like I said, off-topic questions need to be closed.
 
"what are some good places to visit in France?" score: +1, closed ← not a real example, but I’ve seen a lot of stuff like that
 
But new users don't need to die in a hail of downvotes.
 
5:50 PM
@Jonah I try for closed and a few downvotes. A hail of downvotes is excessive, but it needs a couple to prompt the roomba to take care of things later.
 
@armadillo You really just need 3
So the 20k-ers can delete if need be.
 
@Jonah it takes a few more to counteract drive-by upvotes. Need a net score of 0, and pretty much everything gets 1 or 2 upvotes.
since this is a room for the movie, I still can’t be bothered to care about anything but that one actress’s website...
 
@Jonahm I agree, new usersd are treated a bit harsh sometimes
 
Point is, I believe in ecouraging to edit first and Dv'ing later.

A: Are Shoggoths the same as the creatures in A Shadow Out of Time and The Mound?

barryShoggoths are formless, protoplasmic creatures created by the Elder Things to be their servants in "At the Mountains of Madness." They got out of control at one point & became a little too sentient. Oops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoggoth The ancient race in "The Shadow out of Time," "the...

 
the question or the answer?
 
5:55 PM
This question looked terrible at first, but with editing it is actually quite good.
At first, the user seemed to be asking about a book called The Dark Obese
o_O
 
yeah
 
But then it turned out they meant the creatures from an abyss in The Mound.
Heh!
If we had deluged them in downvotes, we might never have heard back.
 
I saw that before the edit, but did nothing, because I had no idea what it was asking
 
Yeah, so y'know....
Moderation in all things
That's why they call them moderators.
;)
 
 
6:06 PM
@armadillo hmm?
 
it’s just a check mark
 
Lets look at some bad questions.
 
to what end?
 
Lulz
 
I have concluded that Jessica Sylvia has acted in a few commercials and an exceedingly strange short film

Q: Did Slave Leia view Jabba as her Master?

Harry PringleDid slave Leia view Jabba as her master? Or if not why not? She knew she was enslaved or did she not consider herself to be enslaved?

 
this seems to be her first full-length film
@Jonah my new favorite feature: post timeline

Q: Are Rory Williams And Rip Hunter the same person?

Andrew CasaliBoth Rory Williams And Rip Hunter are both played by the same actor—Arthur Darvill—and both play a man who's traveled through time and space. One traveled with a Time Lord called the Doctor and one is a Timemaster who's assembled a team to stop Vandal Savage. But they both have the same face. Be...

Believe me, if you had 10k and could see what I see....
 
give me 8 500-rep bounties
I wish vimeo had a playback speed option
no, 15 bounties. Or something.
 
You can't see this, but...

The question is "How old is the Spear of Destiny?"
The answer, well...
 
<p>As seen in the film, the ring choses the wielder. There is no recruitment in the traditional sense.</p>
that?
no that’s wrong... or is it...
 
6:16 PM
No, this:

The worst stuff is hidden from most users.
 
I could crawl the data.SE data dumps on archive.org if I really cared
although the text of that one never made it into a data dump. Deleted too quickly
 
@armadillo mhm
I did that once.
Rand was surprised.
 
I just end up finding stuff that’s better left alone meta.scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/9699/…

Q: Why would Harry and Ron go for human females?

SS-3From Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: ‘And now, without further ado, allow me to introduce …the Bulgarian Team Mascots!’ The right-hand side of the stands, which was a solid block of scarlet, roared its approval. ‘I wonder what they’ve brought?’said Mr Weasley, leaning forwards ...

 
now my useless meta post will stay on the site for the rest of time
all these short films of hers are bizarre
 
6:22 PM
Cool
Is she also the producer?
 
no
just an actress
 
Mmmk
Budget
?
 
small, I presume
she was also a... reporter, or something vimeo.com/6852267
 
Anyway, on the subject of new users
Sometimes despite all your effort people don't improve.
For example, there was RANSSRA009.
 
who may well come back soonish
 
6:28 PM
Lots of good questions.
And more than a few plagiarized questions as well.
The mods may have been a bit fast with the banhammer, but at least it was short.
 
yup
ha I just figured out how to get higher-resolution pictures off of her site
I decree that hazel eyes are the best, possibly because I also have them
I can see the photographer reflected in her eye
 
@armadillo Eyes are funny that way.
The lowest voted question on the site.

Q: Is Captain America gay?

SS-3First, if you are thinking that this question is a joke or troll, I'd like to welcome you to the 21st century when the mankind is discussing legality of gay marriages. Now, if you look at the sexuality (I'll keep it clean) of all the Avengers minus Captain America: Iron Man: Well, he is a bill...

 
6:48 PM
I downvoted that
an anonymous editor tried to answer that a couple hours ago
her web host stopped responding to me
they know :-|
 
@armadillo "Tried" to answer?
 
Hmmm.
That's not exactly a wrong answer, but there's already at least one that says the same.
 
it shouldn’t be an edit on the question
 
@armadillo Well, obviously.
 
6:54 PM
not sure why it got approved once
 
I'm saying it wouldn't even make a good answer (since someone already said the same).
 
yeah
 
@armadillo For the lulz
 
think I'll go fix my dishwasher, or die trying
 
 
3 hours later…
10:26 PM
look like it’s set in the year 2267
no, the year 2317. 2267 was a flashback
it looks too much like Star Wars for my liking.
