Q: Does time pass for people turned to gold?

RikerIn The Lost Hero, when Piper wakes up from being a gold statue: Piper woke up cold and shivering. She’d had the worst dream about an old guy with donkey ears chasing her around and shouting, You’re it! She obviously wasn't aware of being gold, i.e. she couldn't look out her own eyes and s...

@Mithrandir

Q: Does time pass for King Midas' victims?

MithrandirWhen Piper Mclean was turned to gold in The Lost Hero, it is said that she had a dream. This would imply that it is like being asleep, therefore time passes. However, King Midas had victims from thousands of years ago (e.g. his daughter, his barber, etc), who also came back to life. Does time ...

@Riker thanks
 
9:35 PM
@Riker now you can :D
 
ye
 
Thank ye kindly
What's your other question?
 
9:49 PM
I find it amusing that I earned rep on SFF, Lit, and M&T
 
@Mithrandir Not home
Can't ask
 
@Riker ah okay. Well, heading to sleep now. Night.
 
Night
@Zizouz212 fwiw next time wait for somebody else to VTC your meta, then you can let community auto-hammer
 
10:05 PM
@Riker Hi
What happened?
I'm confused
Who VTCed my meta?

Q: Why do we have an [authors] tag?

Zizouz212I was kind of surprised to see the authors tag up and about. The tag wiki excerpt reads this (emphasis mine) For questions which are explicitly about the author of the work. Do not use this tag unless your question directly relates to some literary aspect of an author's life (motivation for ...

was an exact duplicate
 
Yeah. What about it? I marked it as a duplicate, because there was another discussion 11 days prior that I didn't see
Did something happen? I closed it then I had to go
 
i dunno
 
@Riker You there?
Oh I think I know
 
@Zizouz212 they left for the night
 
10:11 PM
You're wondering why I closed it first. Meh. Still could've hammered it, maybe I forgot
It's not a big deal
 
@Zizouz212 If you cast the first duplicate close vote, then it takes 4 more votes to close. But if someone else does, then you can click “I agree” and the question gets closed with only two users needing to intervene.
 
@Gilles No, you can still hammer it
I may have just forgot to click the button - I was kind of rushing since I forgot to do something
I remember seeing that little header at the top. Don't know why I kind of ignored it
Regardless, still not the end of the world :)
 
10:25 PM
@Zizouz212 back
@DForck42 it's 2:25 here in CA :P
@Zizouz212 yeah, just a note
@Zizouz212 iirc you can't, only on places you're a mod :P
 
You can
The reason is that someone places a duplicate vote, then an option is presented to the OP to hammer it. There's a little banner up on top.
The OP can choose whether to hammer it. Whoever close voted first (it can even be the OP) doesn't matter for if the banner shows
I vaguely remember seeing it, but I was in a bit of a rush to leave.
 
11:02 PM
@Riker Yeah, Zizouz is right. I've seen questions dupe-closed only by OP and Community.
 
hm okay
 
Also, woo, double figures in silver badges.
 
noice
 
I don't even have a silver badge :P
 
11:18 PM
@Zizouz212 Well, hop to it :-P
