Did Lukas Rotter downvote this? — Deepthinker101 50 mins ago
wtf
 
Do you have a beef with Deepthinker101?
 
If I have, I wasn't aware of it
 
Those are the best :) There's only one user I think I'd say I have a bit of a beef with, and even then I wouldn't drive by down vote. You have to earn your down votes from me
 
Ok apparently he thought it was me because I edited a post on another question right before he got the downvote
 
Accusing specific people of downvoting isn't really a good look for a user. (And it's also rude to you obviously)
IIRC it might even be against some site policies to do that since the voting system is anonymized
 
6:11 PM
I don't really get what editing has to do with the accusation either. Might just be missing the obvious though
 
I don't see the connection either, especially because it was a different question
 
I suspect that was downvoted since it's just a partial answer; some people like having partial answers and some people seem to hate them
Personally I have no problem with partial answers because they are a lot easier to parse and process than a bunch of rot13 comments
 
Deepthinker is, in general, rather rude on puzzling se
 
I have to admit that I recall Deepthinker101 being pretty aggressive on some of my riddles in the comment section in the past, i.e. accusing me of writing bad hints
 
They're not very community-friendly
 
6:14 PM
The name's not immediately familiar to me, but I'm relatively new to PSE
 
I don't mind if somebody is competitive but, you can go too far lol
 
I'm sure you've been annoyed at them at some point or the other, Anthony
 
Voldemort if I recall correctly, didn't they write you a pretty nasty comment on one of your riddles that said "maybe people hate you"
 
Yep random !@#!@ like that
 
Like, wtf
 
6:16 PM
mmhmm
 
I recall a legendary post by them where they proposed the answer to a riley riddle something along the lines of "... my prefix is a bad date,..., my whole is a mess" was "Rebellion" or something like that. Things got pretty out of hand in the comments section for multiple reasons
 
Ohhh man I remember that post...
 
Yeah, I remember that post too...
Lost the link but I recall the comment section turning into a big old mess.
 
A big ol' mess is a generous term
 
I think they deleted that post, not sure
 
6:17 PM
yea I think so
 
Time to get up to 10k :P
 
Does 10k let you see deleted posts?
 
I think so
 
6:18 PM
If we put all our rep together, we got it...
 
Welp, time to write a whole bunch more puzzles. Lol
 
Yeeeep
Or solve Lukas's pickle puzzle
 
don't forget clickbaity titles to get to HNQ. Make it seem like it's not a puzzle
 
mmhmm
lukas rotter picked a peck of pickled puzzling puzzlers
 
Hasn't the pickle puzzle reached like top 5 upvoted unsolved puzzles?
 
6:20 PM
It was number 3 yesterday
 
God, I'd love to be the one to crack it. Maybe I'll try it sometime.
 
I'm about ready to brute force the URL and then work backwards from there
 
haha lol
 
But that wouldn't be in the proper spirit
 
6:20 PM
^ redundancy
yea
 
I'm trying to think of something that would fit in with NaNoWriMo for this year
 
Ooh, I forgot NaNoWriMo was coming up. I should do that too
I'm equally tempted to write a quick Python brute-forcer script for the pickle puzzle, but it would indeed be in the wrong spirit.
 
the heck is nanowrimo?
 
National Novel Writing Month
The challenge is to write a novel in a month with your friends, basically
 
National Novel Writing Month. It's an annual challenge to write 50,000 words during the month of November
 
6:24 PM
oooohhhhhhh
iiinteresting
^ my old username
 
I've participated every year since 2006, but have only actually made it to 50,000 twice
 
I've never heard of it
 
It's really fun, last year I wrote a fun little sci-fi thing and the year before that I wrote an apocalypse horror thing. I never try to hit the word count, I just challenge myself to finish a story
 
Also, just noticed this, why do I have 740 profile views?
That's a lot
 
Hey, Sciborg? How about that crossword?
 
6:26 PM
Hey bobble! I got busy last night and forgot to post lol. I will post soon I swear
 
bobble promise
 
Getting up the courage to post things is hard :p
 
1 min ago, by Voldemort's Wrath
Also, just noticed this, why do I have 740 profile views?
 
Hey, but then people give you praise if you make a good puzzle!
 
hey sciborg, bobble, voldy!
 
6:27 PM
Hello Matt :)
 
hiiiiii mmamaaaaaaaatttttttt
 
I will never forget the feeling of Deus saying "that was a very interesting puzzle" about one of my babies :)
 
Aww
 
your ... babies?
 
puzzles, I assume
 
6:27 PM
I work on them for so long, and I put a lot of care into them... I have the right to call my puzzles my babies!
 
sure ya do
 
She can call her puzzles whatever she likes, okay
 
omgsh we're at 741 profile views i'm famous
 
*mkay
 
6:28 PM
Where do you see profile views?
 
@Sciborg that was sarcasm, okay
 
on your profile page
 
@AnthonyIngram-Westover on the right side ofyour profile
 
The correction to *mkay has me dying, thank you @LukasRotter
 
re Deepthinker discussion: I have a vague idea that they're a little more combative than the average user, but I just stopped reading comment sections of theirs a while back.
 
6:29 PM
xD
 
Lukas over here reminding me that I have to be sassy
 
@bobble -- "little more combative" you're too nice
 
Oh, I was on activity, not profile
 
@Voldemort'sWrath indeed
 
do y'all like my chat profile?
 
6:31 PM
yep
 
yep
 
It terrifies me
 
alllwaaaaayyyyyssss waaaaattcccchhhiiiinnnggggg
 
also wtf is a shotgun axe
 
6:32 PM
thats...
terrifying
 
I'm happy this exists
 
One of the characters on Marvel's Agents of SHIELD put an axe on the end of a shotgun
 
ah yes, the motherlode of inventions
 
There was a some joking build-up to it as well
 
Who needs sensible weapons when you can have shotgun axe
 
6:32 PM
Slightly disappointed it's not a shotgun that shoots axes
 
Holy crap, I have 99 profile views on Puzzling? I must be popular
 
50/50 shot if you get hit with the handle or the blade
 
The best part is the shotgun axe just keeps coming up - another character brings to to SPACE to give it to Mack so he can fight ALIENS with it. Because shotgun axe.
 
@Sciborg indeed
 
A shotgun that shoots axes sounds like an incredible video game concept
 
6:33 PM
@Sciborg what even does that mean
what is a profile view
what is... any of this?
 
@Voldemort'sWrath When a registered user visits your profile page, it ticks up I think
 
is this even real?
 
Is this the real life?
 
what is the meaning of this existence?
 
Is this just fantasy?
 
6:33 PM
am I meant to be here?
 
Caught in a land slide?
Escape from realityyyyyy
 
@Voldemort'sWrath yes
 
Open your eyes, look up to the sky and seeeeee
 
.
i'm just a poor boy
 
6:34 PM
inhales
 
i have a feeling that's a song
 
i need no sympathy
 
EASY COME, EASY GO
LITTLE HIGH, LITTLE LOW
 
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.
 
oh no
 
6:35 PM
I SEE A LITTLE SILHOUETTO OF A MAN
 
MAMA!!!!!
 
What have we done
 
this is fascinating
 
*JUST KILLED A MAAANNNN!!!!
 
The answer to What count's as a profile view is just "caching" - I love it
 
6:35 PM
PUT A G-N AGAINST HIS HEAAAADD
 
I'm so glad that somebody just immediately joined in
 
@Sciborg *hides in corner*
 
If we're gonna get Queen up in here, Princes of the Universe is probably their most underrated song
 
PULLED THE TRIGGER NOW HE'S D--D
***MAMAAAAA!!!!!!!****
 
And I'm not just saying that because of Highlander
 
6:36 PM
LIFE HAD JUUUUUST BEGUN!!!!
 
someone stop them
/sarcasm
 
BUT NOW I"VE GONE AND THRROOOOOWWN IT AAAALLLLL AWAAAAAYAYYYY
 
That's probably enough, we don't wanna chat spam lol
 
okay lol
 
thank you
 
6:36 PM
hmm that was exciting
 
Queen has so many underrated songs
 
mmhmm
btw if i'm being dumb... just:
2 hours ago, by bobble
SILENCIO!
 
gracias, voldy
 
You're fine Voldy, I was just trying to avoid us getting a Deus poke :p
 
because deus will poke
with his mod hammer
 
6:42 PM
Deus is a good mod, except in Boss Rush where he destroys you
 
The hint in Anthony's puzzle makes me think "extract specific words / letters, convert to binary"
 
I haven't thought of a Cool Deduction that I want to use in a Slitherlink yet :( I don't make puzzles unless there's something I'm proud of in it.
 
@Sciborg damn
that would probably hurt
 
@Sciborg unless you get him down to 1% health and use the Honeypot
 
@bobble have it trace out a bobblie!
@bobble but how do we get him down to 1% health?
 
6:43 PM
deduction, not solution. Creating a puzzle around a solution is a Bad Thing.
 
@Sciborg thank you!
 
i like these random Capital Letters
 
@Deusovi we appreciate you ♡
 
@Deusovi for the first part or the second part? :p
 
@LukasRotter Pretty much spot on. The hint indicates pretty much everything; what to look for, what to treat each one as, and what to convert to
 
6:44 PM
it's fun to use capital letters to make something sound Official or Important
@Sciborg thanks! that means a lot to me, honestly
@matt no comment
 
But if you use them Too Much that is a Bad Thing.
 
Maybe with the names, splitting them up into "I like em" and "I hate em"
 
@bobble Like The People Who Do This
use them Sparingly
 
With great power comes great responsibility
 
you can use them to create Cool Acronyms and Things
 
6:46 PM
I don't have any other sites to compare to, but because of interactions with Deus & Gareth in this chat I have confidence & trust in the mod team to be good and fair :)
 
@bobble one hundred percent
Like I haven't known you super long in chat, but I already feel comfortable coming to you with problems and I can't say the same for every SE site
 
@bobble that's a 50% sample you're basing it on
fair enough
 
hey jafe!
 
hey
 
6:49 PM
yeh<
 
(HE LOL)*
 
By the way, the answer to my CMC is rot13(pung vqf bs cfr zbqf)
 
what happened?
 
Hey, now we've got almost the whole gang here! :D
 
What do we do now?
 
6:51 PM
who's missing
 
Mith?
 
@LukasRotter Eh, nothing quite that sophisticated. I was able to use regex to quickly pull out the relevant pieces to verify I didn't have a typo (which was good because I did have a typo)
 
Sid, Mith and Bubbler and a few others
 
*bubbler
 
Typo sorry
 
6:52 PM
@Sciborg suddenly i wish covid was over so we could like, idk, actually meet
 
I think we're all to far apart to make that possible
 
@Mithical join da parrrttyyyy
 
We all live pretty far apart, yeah.
 
@bobble yeah :(
 
6:53 PM
meeting up in person is probably not the best idea (if it would actually even be doable)
 
reset my Phone and now i have SwiftKey by default... oh boy this is going In the trash fast when i can install a normal kb
 
It would be kinda cool though, but it ruins the anonymity
 
uh oh that sounds awful
 
@Deusovi i meant like when covid ends
 
tha whole gang
 
6:53 PM
And that's half the fun!
 
"on the internet no one knows youre a dog"
 
ironically my doggo just walked over
 
Aight well... I have homework... :(:(
Bye everyone
Bye matt's doggo
 
6:54 PM
Aww, seeya Voldy!
 
<doggo> barks
 
On some level it would be pretty funny if you ever met me in person, because like... you look at me and your immediate first impression is "this is the gayest nerd I've ever seen"
 
heh
 
Hmm, do we need to have a gay off? Or a nerd off?
 
6:56 PM
Square up Anthony, I'll do both
 
I haven't actually um told my IRL friends about my gender confusion ('cept one). It's easier to introduce that to people who haven't known me as cis female for so long.
 
hm you've got some pretty tough competition in both categories from some people i know
 
I'd probably lose, I'm a bit too masc for masc for a gay off. Nerd off might have a chance
 
depends what kind of nerd off. MCU or Harry Potter I have a chance, Star Trek I do not
 
Harry Potter would be my best chance, or general fantasy novels
 
6:58 PM
@bobble who's the bajoran liaison to ds9?
 
let's see, what????????????
 
I'd definitely lose the gay off and the nerd off
 
Possibly Star Wars but my brother-in-law pretty much has the entire extended universe memorized
 
Avi
wat
 
Oh there's Avi
 
6:58 PM
why
 
Avi
What did I walk into
2
 
The gay-off, obviously
 
I can out-weird all of you guys in this room
 
Avi
sighs in lack of Bermuda Rectangles
 
@bobble answer: maj. kira nerys
