1 off my rep cap!

:D

@DrRDizzle You have a point there.

Weird.

phantom42

11:41

@CandiedMango don't use that word. because according to the dictionary and some of our users, it would mean he literally died.

CandiedMango

@phantom42 He, literally, did not die.

Ann Perking is , literally, my favourite Jedi.

phantom42

@CandiedMango they shouldn't have. one of the reject reasons is specifically for the type of edit that that was.

CandiedMango

Silly users breaking systems.

Mike Edenfield

CandiedMango

I am literally dying right now

new ideas for our chat room name:

Mos Eisley: Reloaderd

The Book Was Better

Ok Story, Terrible Pacing

phantom42

@DrRDizzle the annotated screenplays mention it, but dont note which draft the concept first appeared. "i wanted the father to be darth vader, but i also wanted a father figure. so i created ben as the other half. you have one who is the light half and one who is the dark half."

BMWurm

@MikeEdenfield I really like The Book Was Better

Dr R Dizzle

@phantom42 How much can we trust Lucas though? He'd digitally remaster history if he could.

I'm being flippant, but we know he has lied about how much was originally planned in the past.

Mike Edenfield

also, new idea for the meta poll: ignore downvotes. In elections you don't get to vote against people, you vote for them. take the 5 highest upvoted ideas (including Mos Eisley) and make a new question.

Dr R Dizzle

phantom42

irvin kirshner says that the first official appearance of the concept of vader specifically being luke's father was in the second draft of ESB. granted, that doesnt necesarily have to match up with when lucas conceived it - it's just the first time the notion was put onto a distributed piece of paper

@MikeEdenfield we do in primaries don't we?

Mike Edenfield

@phantom42 oh, i dunno, do we? i meant real elections :)

A: How do election primaries work?

In the primary phase eligible community members get to "vote" for as many or as few candidates as they want. At the end of the phase, the 10 candidates with the most votes go through to the actual election phase. This is taken from the side-bar description of the primary phase: In the primary...

> In the primary phase, all nominees advance to preliminary community voting. Any community member with 150 reputation may vote in the primary.

There is no commenting in this phase, only one up or down vote per candidate. The candidate vote scores are all public. Initial voting should provide a rough sense of which candidates are most electable.

not that it really matters. just confirming if i was remembering correctly

Mike Edenfield

yeah plus i used the wrong word anyway.

this is more of a poll.

"check one box below:"

oh my god how many answers are there on this meta question?!

either way "Mos Eisley" wins by a gigantic margin.

+21/-9 and the only net positive score; next highest was The Nexus +9/-9

Dr R Dizzle

@MikeEdenfield Most of them come from two users, I think. I've only just submitted mine.

Mike Edenfield

12:16

yeah one user appears to have submitted every Harry Potter location they could think of

this is why you need a two-stage process, though. i already voted, I'm not going back every day to see new submissions.

CandiedMango

First we should probably focus on a strategy for lowering our flagability

Dr R Dizzle

@CandiedMango I maintain that in 99% of instances, that is an issue with flags, not the community.

Mike Edenfield

i have no problem renaming the chatroom if people are uncomfortable with the name recognition. it's absolutely not going to solve any of our problems but that doesn't mean it's a bad idea.

@DrRDizzle I have recently come to the conclusion that it's both.

our community cannot accept that it has different flagging-tolerances than other chat rooms.

it does.

accept it. live within in. be happy.

Dr R Dizzle

@MikeEdenfield It's not going to magically fix the problem, no, but it might make people realise that something needs to be done.

Mike Edenfield

oh, and there's also the bit where you don't argue with the people in charge

Dr R Dizzle

12:19

@MikeEdenfield Some flagged someone for saying they wanted to buy a gun a while back though. That was the entire message.

Mike Edenfield

ok.

they were offended by it.

CandiedMango

Plus offensiveness is subjective, so always air on beige side of comments.

Dr R Dizzle

@CandiedMango I'm offended that some people like Man of Steel though.

Mike Edenfield

then flag it.

of course, if you flag something and the flag gets invalidated, then move on.

Dr R Dizzle

Argh, sod this. I've spoke about this before, nothing was done because there isn't a better system, end of. Let's move on.

Mike Edenfield

12:21

don't spend the next 45 minutes arguing over it.

I agree with you. it's a terrible system. but it's the one we have.

so, options: a. work with it, b. go somewhere that has a better one, c. complain through the proper channels and see (a)

CandiedMango

I have never been offended here

Dr R Dizzle

Anyway, vote for my idea on the chatroom name. It's the best one, says I.

CandiedMango

What is it?

Dr R Dizzle

@CandiedMango Me either, but this is a new room ;P

@CandiedMango Mos Eisley Episode IV: A New Hope

Mac Cooper

Haha :D

CandiedMango

12:26

Never been offended on SE

Dr R Dizzle

@CandiedMango I have, once. I was joking about the Man of Steel thing - there's no accounting for taste.

CandiedMango

I can't remember the last time I was offended.

Pureferret

12:43

@CandiedMango your lack of memory is offensive

I knew someone at university who I offended by giving a stranger directions

CandiedMango

@Pureferret To you maybe.

YOU CAN'T JUST GIVE SOMEONE DIRECTIONS!

GAWSH

Pureferret

@CandiedMango they asked, I said I didn't know and I carried on walking, but they knew, they could have given directions

I tried to contact her to make and but she's blocked me on FB

CandiedMango

Weird.

Pureferret

@CandiedMango I think it was stress

CandiedMango

As you can tell I'm quite, erm, liberal. As far as I know I didn't offend anyone though, it's all in the tone and the smile. Actually scratch that.

More than one time in the library I did an incredibly loud burp and a girl shouted "that's disgusting" at me

@Pureferret Makes sense, people change under stress.

Now you all know I'm a real classy guy.

ArtOfCode

12:58

@CandiedMango Sounds familiar.

Morning, all.

CandiedMango

ArtOfCode

Mod, singular.

Ankit Sharma

Didn't want to scare

ArtOfCode

OK, plural.

CandiedMango

If I had mod friends I'd organise group room joins just to incite paranoia

ArtOfCode

13:05

@CandiedMango Now there's an idea.

Ankit Sharma

People have weird interests

Dr R Dizzle

@ArtOfCode You mean that has been happening already?!?!

ArtOfCode

@DrRDizzle Not yet...

Donald.McLean

@AnkitSharma Seriously. There's no possible way to explain anime.

CandiedMango

See what would happen if the people upstairs realised I should be a mod.

Donald.McLean

13:07

On mature sites, mod is an elected position.

CandiedMango

See what would happen if the people on my level realised I should be a mod.

Ankit Sharma

@Donald.McLean i like anime

@CandiedMango don't know you much to say, what can happen next

Donald.McLean

@AnkitSharma So do both of my daughters.

CandiedMango

@AnkitSharma Silly, I am.

Ankit Sharma

@Donald.McLean but i like the serious ones like Death note, code geass. Not that silly dragon ball or pokemon any more

@CandiedMango Silly mod seems a common idiom

CandiedMango

13:10

The Dragonball movie is probably the best movie I've seen this year.

Dr R Dizzle

> Anime
> Serious

Pick one

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle There are serious stuff in anime too.

Go for any one of the two i have suggested

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma There is anime that tries to be serious and mature, but that's a very different think to actually being serious or mature. There is a reason that every main character in an anime is a high school student lol.

phantom42

@DrRDizzle the only new one i'd even consider voting for is "the restaurant at the end of the universe"

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle YOU MEAN ANYTHING RELATED TO HIGH SCHOOL CAN'T BE SERIOUS :O

phantom42

13:13

@MikeEdenfield it just seems like renaming "cancer" or a terrorist group. you can call it whatever you want, the underlying problems are what need to be addressed.

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma No, but in practice yes.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle One more topic of disagreement.

List is becoming long now

Need more paper

CandiedMango

PAPER!?!

Excel dammit.

Ankit Sharma

Mysql table?

As i am DBE

phantom42

i'm not entirely sure dizzle ever actually watches any of the things he proclaims to hate. either that, or he just claims to hate everything just to be edgy and cool.

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 later one

CandiedMango

Why would you want to be a DBE?

Wait the money ofc.

Ankit Sharma

@CandiedMango I am already a DBE and whats wrong in it?

phantom42

whats wrong is that they make more money than me

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 cough cough......meme........

CandiedMango

Obviously nothing, It's just that it isn't my preferred path. I much prefer software engineering :)

Ankit Sharma

13:19

@CandiedMango that need more time for upgrading now and then. That makes less time for my second life

@phantom42 talking about money always make me sad. So will ignore you message

Mike Edenfield

@phantom42 I totally agree, but I'm also not against renaming the chat room solely for the PR benefits :)

b_jonas

Great. Let's write a letter to the Headmaster that the Sorting Hat can finally be retired, because the Sci Fi SE provides more accurate readings of the houses of students.

(It's really mostly the controversy about Peter Pettigrew that annoys me.)

CandiedMango

@b_jonas Brilliant piece of sarcasm.

b_jonas

(Too many people keep repeating in comments under various posts that Peter wasn't brave, whereas I do still see him as brave after all that discussion.)

Mike Edenfield

> "It is the same story every season with The Walking Dead, I gave up on it last year. They are roaming, roaming, and then they think they find a place that is safe, but (no) surprise! It's really not safe. Then the blonde and the not-white guy dies."

phantom42

13:29

> Dear JKR,
you are wrong.

Sincerely,
-SF/F

CandiedMango

The hat is still adamant that he didn't make a mistake with pettigrew that the case of his death proves he was still brave.

b_jonas

Ok, more serious. Should scifi.stackexchange.com/q/58471/4918 get sorting-hat? It's a question about what students should get into what houses for what properties, just like the rest of the tag.

phantom42

stupid quote markup doesnt allow strikethrough

@b_jonas nothing should get sorting-hat

it really doesnt meet our criteria for a tag

and the new bobafett tag should be fixed to be boba-fett

b_jonas

@phantom42 I think it does. We have lots of questions about who gets sorted why, there should be a tag for that. "sorting-hat" might not be the best name, but there should be some tag, because such questions are otherwise hard to search for.

IMO the tag really helps searching.

Mike Edenfield

sorting-hat is kinda borderline. there's a ton of information specifically about the sorting hat and how it works.

b_jonas

13:33

Otherwise you'd have to search for harry-potter (house OR Gryffindor OR Slytherin OR Ravenclaw OR Hufflepuff) except by using the correct spelling of all four houses, AND you'd get a lot of false positives.

phantom42

i guess i'm not like a lot of users. i very rarely search by tags. i pretty much only use them for my favorite/ignore filters

i'd just search for the words "sorting hat" and not ever think to go by the tag

Mike Edenfield

@b_jonas or search for harry-potter "sorting"

phantom42

especially since my search would come up with more results

b_jonas

@phantom42 Yes, but the sorting hat isn't always mentioned in questions like "Why is Peter Pettigrew a Gryffindor"

Mike Edenfield

I'm ok with sorting-hat and if we have it it should be used consistently.

regular HP users need to be responsible for tagging the right questions with it.

if it's not consistent it's useless

b_jonas

13:34

We can update the tag wiki to clarify its use if we want.

@MikeEdenfield Yes, that's what I'm trying right now. And it's already mostly consistent.

phantom42

search: "sorting hat peter" guess what the first result is

Mike Edenfield

heh.

i was about to say "we don't have any questions tagged sorting-hat"

then i realized I have ~~easy-rep~~ harry-potter on ignore

b_jonas

I think I'll go forward and edit any questions about who is in what house to that tag.

CandiedMango

Calm yourself mike ;)

phantom42

@b_jonas remember. 5 out of the last 15 active

Dr R Dizzle

13:43

@phantom42 I watch anime. I'm watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure at the moment, and I recently finished Hunter X Hunter.

b_jonas

@phantom42 Yes, I'll be careful with touching. (Although there should be some support in SE to avoid this problem. But whatever.)

phantom42

@b_jonas well, it's been at least a week. you should post a meta suggesting that edits don't bump questions.

b_jonas

We have exactly 5 now (two new questions, three I tagged)

@phantom42 heh

But like I said, most such questions are already tagged to sorting-hat so I don't have to edit much.

Dr R Dizzle

@phantom42 Also, I often come into chat specifically just to talk about things I like, or things I've watched recently and enjoyed. Just because you like something doesn't make my feelings of dislike insincere.

phantom42

@DrRDizzle yes it does

i'm american. i'm always right. especially when i'm wrong.

you also need to realize that i almost never wear my ~~serious~~ pants in chat.

Q: Rename "bobafett" tag to "boba-fett"

The tag bobafett was recently created, and while I typically abhor character tags, it passes our general criteria for existence. However, all of our other character tags and property name tags substitute hyphens for spaces. As such, the tag should be boba-fett. Can we get this tag renamed?

Himarm

when does bell go through/across, curse 1 or 2

i cant remember

phantom42

she spends curse 1 locked up in storybrooke

she goes back to rumple's castle with neal between curses

Himarm

14:34

she def forgets everything at some point

though i need to rewatch that whole mess

phantom42

well, she starts off in storybrooke with no memories. then the curse is broken and she gets the memories back. then she gets pushed outside the town line and loses her memories again

Himarm

oh she forgot everything to begin with

phantom42

right, because of the first dark curse

everyone except rumple and regina had no memory

Mike Edenfield

wait, when did she get pushed across the town line?

Himarm

it looks like on the wiki, that after the curse is lifted, or rather magic is restored, the line still wipes your memory

Mike Edenfield

14:37

did that happen this season?

phantom42

no, when owen showed up

s3

or maybe it was 2

Mike Edenfield

@phantom42 going across the town line appears to do different things at different times, I believe. In S2/S3 I think it removed your memories unless you were protected somehow.

Himarm

"From the opposite side of the town line, Belle promises to wait for him. Suddenly, a bullet ricochets into her shoulder from behind. She falls over the border into Mr. Gold's arms and loses her memories as Hook is revealed to be the shooter. In an amnesiac state, Belle doesn't recognize her own name when Mr. Gold calls her, and witnesses him conjuring a fireball just as a car crashes into town. ("The Outsider")"

Mike Edenfield

Rumple took something with him across the town line that protected him.

but she got her memories back somehow. I forgot about that.

but I think something happens this season where they shove one of the dwarves across the town line and something different happens.

phantom42

right, but now in s4, he goes across and remembers everything.

Himarm

14:39

thats when gold had that shawl and potion to walk across the line

Mike Edenfield

I'm way behind, Dark Emma annoyed me so much I stopped watching.

phantom42

and i got the impression that robin remembered stuff when he goes across too

they lose magic, but apparently retain memories now

Mike Edenfield

I think when Regina undid the First Curse that changed the town line.

Himarm

belle loosing her memories seems to be between curse 1 and 2

magic and memories came back after breaking curse 1

but the border stayed intact

Mike Edenfield

yeah but after the peter pan indicent, Regina un-cast the curse, undoing all of it and sending everyone back to fairyland.

I think after that the town border didn't act the same anymore.

remember Hook came to NY to find Emma?

Himarm

14:43

probably i never finished the pan arc

pan pissed me off

Mike Edenfield

yeah.

phantom42

pan pisses everyone off

Mike Edenfield

he's coming back you know

he's merlin

phantom42

i keep trying to forget

oh hell.

Mike Edenfield

they are definitely running out of storylines.

phantom42

14:44

cruella + co just came into storybrooke

Mike Edenfield

thank god.

phantom42

14:45

mr. gold: "don't tell anyone i'm back. it has to be a secret. let's talk about this as we walk down the middle of main street"

yes, to find the author

Himarm

the whole author stuff was weird too

Mike Edenfield

@phantom42 mr. gold decides now is the right time to find the guy who wrote the book that Henry carried around for 10 years without knowing anything about it.

phantom42

i thought you said you didnt watch past pan?

Himarm

my wife is moer current, so i see snipets of more recent stuff and its all weird.

phantom42

ah

Mike Edenfield

14:46

don't worry.

Himarm

i see some pen and ink that write reality

phantom42

@MikeEdenfield wait.. 10?

Mike Edenfield

the resolution of that plot line is exactly as stupid as you think it will be.

phantom42

i thought it was like.. 1

Mike Edenfield

@phantom42 just guessing.

I thought he had it for a while, though.

phantom42

14:47

henry ages, and is only like 10 when he finds emma

Himarm

hes only supposed to be 10 when the show starts?

Mike Edenfield

yeah but I thought mary margaret gave it to him when he was little?

phantom42

no, in the flashback, he's roughly the same age

Mike Edenfield

they never explain how the hell she got it

phantom42

granted, emma looks the same at 18 as 28, but like a completely different person at 15

Mike Edenfield

14:48

but it's ok. Once you find out who the author is, it will make even less sense.

phantom42

yeah, they just say "the book just appeared when it was needed"

Himarm

its so weird how people let stories just run away from them like that

i watched the gilmore girls with my wife, and the last season i guess the writter quit, so some rando's made a 22 episode season, that makes 0 sense, just because they already had a slotted show for that year >.<

phantom42

18 years ago. so emma should be like 10-12 as of season 3.

Himarm

but you can see how they like to stretch stuff to get every char they can in, mulan didnt make sense at all in once upon a time.

phantom42

emma 18 years ago, supposedly aged 10-12.

Himarm

14:53

thats a like 15-18 year old

phantom42

same actress is used for the 15 year old

but jennifer morrison plays the 18 year old

Himarm

to be fair jennifer morrison probably looked the same at 18-19 as she does now

minus some wrinkles

those holly wood type look the same for 30 years starting at 16

phantom42

Himarm

im glad you linked that

but it checks out

:P

unfortunately, the same does not seem to be holding true for us asian guys

@MikeEdenfield as this show goes on, i'm not sure anything makes sense.

Pureferret

15:37

So watching True Blood ep1 season 4

changed a lot

Keen

@Himarm The network fired the creator/showrunner, who also did the bulk of the writing work.

Here's hoping the Netflix revival is a return to form. Amy Sherman-Palladino's (the showrunner) last show was pretty good, but was canceled after a season.

phantom42

@Keen worst case, we can just delete the bobafett tags, let it get cleaned up and then create the new tag

thankfully, there's only 5 questions on with it now

(or you know, just not bother creating the new one)

Keen

@phantom42 Already asked a CM about it, and turned the meta post into a bug report. >_>

there is a bug there, so it helps to document it as such, at the very least

Null

@phantom42 As much as I love Fett, he's a borderline case for a character tag. I'd say just get rid of it.

phantom42

@Null since i generally dislike character tags, that's my vote as well. but he fulfills the criteria we largely agreed upon. he's got his own solo works, and there are people who might be experts on him. i wouldn't vote against nuking it, but its existence doesn't upset me as much as some others.

@phantom42 If you can, add what you tried, and what issue you had to that meta question. I outlined what I attempted to do. I think it failed not because of that linked bug, but due to a synonym being in place.

Q: Is Green Lantern faster than Flash and Superman?

I am having a dilemma... Flash and Superman are supposed to be fastest superheros in DC universe but I think Green Lantern should be faster than them, and I mean a lot faster. I did some digging and according to Green Lantern Wiki his Flight is about Mach 10 and 80% of light speed in space... ...

shog said it was a temporary thing. what we do after the temporary thing ends has not been agreed upon

> The moderators and room owners will sort out the locked-room situation next week (the freeze is temporary).

@Obie GL can go 80% of light speed. great. flash can go faster than light

Mike Edenfield

he actually covers that in the question..

From the Green Lantern Wiki:

> Flight is possible at velocities exceeding light speed.

ryan

@MikeEdenfield uh... isn't flight possible well below light speed?

Keen

@phantom42 This. We're still working on it. The Meta posts have helped. It's no longer the weekend, so the CMs and mods ideally have more time to dig into the issues.

@ryan obviously not. have you ever seen anything fly?

i've only ever seen things falling with style

Mike Edenfield

I'm not pushing for any particular resolution, I don't care what the name or room # of the room is as long as there's people in it.

I'm just wondering if we anticipate being in this room beyond the end of the day or so
