@Unionhawk Are you implying that Americans don't think?
 
@Arperum Yes,
Wait, NO
 
@Unionhawk Good.
 
how many people get to be electified?
 
 
How convenient! My choices appeared in the order I was planning to vote for them.
 
8:01 PM
Oh, one of my candidates withdrew. Problem solved.
 
IT BEGINS
 
@fredley SLOW.
 
Sorry. I'm trying to chat while dancing
 
This is going to be a long 4 days.
 
Does choice order matter, and if so, how?
 
I think it does. And good question.
 
@Sterno Yes, it does. Your first vote is the only one that counts until either your nominee wins or gets knocked out of the election due to having too few votes. Your second choice then become your vote until the same thing happens.
 
user15026
I am sad that this is not like my local elections where they have in the past given me a sticker to say yay you voted :P
 
@OrigamiRobot Stop telling everyone who you were going to vote for.
 
@AshleyNunn You do get a badge, I think
 
8:03 PM
@MBraedley I can tell if I want to!
 
user15026
@badp That is acceptable in lieu of a sticker
 
@badp But it doesn't show up immediately. I need that instant gratification
 
Oops
Sorry to anyone who tried to reach me via Steam
 
user15026
@MBraedley This is true the sticker happens right away
 
For the last umpteen months
 
8:04 PM
@RedRiderX Have you been set to appear offline?
 
user15026
@RedRiderX It's okay we know when we aren't liked :P
 
@MBraedley Please congratulate yourself for voting by staring at art:
 
@Wipqozn Nope

Just didn't login
 
8:05 PM
@badp Participate, participate, participate in the democratic process
 
Stare at the static beauty of the lazers
 
@Wipqozn So effectively, if I cast my first vote for, say, @fredley, there's a good chance my other votes won't matter?
That's scary shit.
 
@Sterno That is the opposite of the case.
 
@Sterno why?
 
@badp 10*
 
8:06 PM
@Sterno No, they do, because only the fraction of your vote required to elect @fredley is used. The rest of your vote is applied to your second candidate.
 
user15026
@badp I got a badge, I feel happy now
 
Oh, wait, my next ones count if they win.
Okay.
 
> Your vote, valued at 1.00 vote, is applied to your candidates in the order you rank them. Each candidate only uses as much of your vote as needed to become elected (shared equitably between all who voted for that candidate). The fractional remainder of your vote is then passed down your list to your next choice, in the order of preference. If a candidate is considered out of the race, you get that part of your vote back to apply further down your list.
 
Whatever, I meta'd, answer me there
 
@AshleyNunn I almost got stars for the same picture on three posts, it was amazing. For a moment
 
8:06 PM
 
I can't remember the exact way it works, but it's down in phases.
 
M'vy and World Engineer were voted out.

Q: How are moderator election votes counted, in plain English?

PopsThe election pages' sidebars state that Stack Exchange elections use the Meek STV vote-counting method: After m days, the final voting results will be freely downloadable from this page forever, and we will calculate the n winners using OpenSTV with the Meek STV method. How does that work? ...

 
Or dupe me to somewhere!
 
8:07 PM
There is a link right at the top of the elections page.
 
@OrigamiRobot I don't know how I'm still not seeing it then.
 
Wow, @badp didnt make it to the voting stage!?
 
Is it the Meek STV link?

@Sterno yes
 
... Spammers
 
I'm probably just not going to vote.
 
Aw no so many updates!
 
We need to yell at @Sterno for him to hear.

Q: How does choice order affect who I'm voting for?

SternoHow does my ordering of the candidates I'm voting for in the election (1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice) affect the final outcome?

 
@Unionhawk This is actually true in real life.
 
The one thing that always bothered me about the system is that if, say, everyone votes for LEssPop, but they al make him his second choice to be strategic, he could actually lose.
 
Though my hearing has sucked since I was a kid.
 
Dammit! I need more votes. Three is not enough.
 
8:11 PM
@Wipqozn The whole point of this system it that you don't have to be strategic.
 
@OrigamiRobot Doesn't stop people.
Users have done it in the past.
 
@Wipqozn I do think they need to do a better job explaining it.
 
We are getting 3 new mods out of this election?
 
@James Yes.
 
8:12 PM
@James Correct.
 
 
How was that number determined?

Q: Can I use my Nintendo Network ID on multiple 3DS systems?

James BI have a 3DS for me, and one that the kids share. I understand that I can't use purchases from my system on the kids' one. Can I at least sign in with the same account? I don't want to have to make a new account for the kids if I can help it.

 
looks like this in IE
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Yeah, seems to be a common thing
 
@OrigamiRobot Well, you can still get extra vote value by being strategic, can't you?
 
There's no way to spoil a ballot on the internets :/
 
8:15 PM
Appears fine for me in firefox.
 
@3ventic I'm seeing it both normal and weird in Chrome. Depending on how my computer feels at that exact moment.
It might be a resolution thing.
 
@3ventic I'm in chrome
 
No, now it's just normal for me. Odd.
 
@tugs Yes, there is. It's called not voting.
 
Like, from the explanation, if LessPop was my first choice, and he ended up hitting twice quota, then my second choice would get half of my vote, as opposed to my full vote if I put LessPop second
 
8:15 PM
@James ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@Frank there's a difference between those
 
I guess they looked at our traffic or queue times?
 
I believe in the right to cho my moderators.
 
@Ullallulloo Haha.. Well most of the other times it was when someone left we replaced them.. I was unaware of 3 people leaving.
 
@Sterno Took me a minute for that one
 
8:16 PM
@tugs It works out to the same thing.
 
@James Nobody is leaving, some of our old ones are just getting overwhelmed.
 
Bridge! Stay in your tab! Stop producing extra tabs!
 
@Arperum ALL the tabs
 
From what I understand.
 
@Frank but it doesn't make me feel political and stuff
 
8:17 PM
@Arperum Uh-huh. The Bridge opened all those extra chat tabs... Right...
 
@Coronus Yes, yes it did. I'm innocent.
 
@badp I win at election comprehension! I am going to go do an election comprehension dance. — agent86 2 mins ago

Q: How to get full T2?

Rik TelnerI am stuck with this: How do I unlock it? Only I have is "Atmosphere Generator". I don't want to use it, cause I haven't found another one and I am scared that if I use it, it won't succeed to get it back. @edit - I saved. Gone on planet, used that "Atmosphere Generator", it didn't do jack.

 
@Lazers For a moment that read, "How to get full TF2?"
 
user15026
@badp Judging by the tweet I suspect that is the opposite of the expected and intended reaction :P
 
@AshleyNunn Repeated punctuation = jest
 
@badp EA filled it up with microtransactions.
 
You should know this by now!
 
8:22 PM
@badp Really??? I must try that...
 
@badp The android version is beyond terrible
 
@badp I read that twice over and it still said "TF2" for me...
 
user15026
@badp I'm sorry, I am error.
 
Speaking of Dungeon Keeper
 
@mmyers This is the one weird trick to understand most of badp's unique approach to typography. This rounds up to $19.99 value but just for you it's 17.99! euros!
amazing bargain!!
 
8:25 PM
@badp You'''re joking,,, right???
 
user15026
Yay! Yoshi's New Island has a release date :D :D :D :D
 
@GnomeSlice I want to buy it, but don't want to buy a beta thing.
 
@badp What a deal!!!!!!

Q: Skyrim missing stone texture near Winterhold

Tommie55555In Skyrim, there is a weird stone that seems to be missing a texture on one side. Pic: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/513/8wc3.jpg Location: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/687/b8wh.jpg Is this normal? And how do i fix it? I tried restarting Skyrim, it didn't work.

 
8:27 PM
All this punctuation is making me sick.
 
good day
 
Good evening @Wandang
 
haha
loadout.com is down
wanted to check that game
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice I like the idea of this, but I don't want a not finished game for that much money
 
@AshleyNunn I'm looking forward to that one!
Loved the original.
 
8:31 PM
@badp :::(((
 
user15026
@Frank I loved the original and the DS release
 
user15026
like a lot
 
user15026
so I am super super excite
 
@AshleyNunn This.
 
@Wandang Yeah, launch day, they're getting overwhelmed. When you want to sign up, lemme know. I can get you a ref link that will give us both bonus XP
 
8:31 PM
@AshleyNunn I couldn't get into the DS release. I suppose since there were so many awesome games out at that time.
 
user15026
@Frank Yeah, that was a good time for gaming
 
@GnomeSlice yeah i hate ref linking but i love you so go ahead and give it to me
 
@Wandang Yeah me too, but still.
 
I tied a little bell on a string to Bela's scratching post. She's now going crazy over it.
 
8:32 PM
WftO Looks really nice. They kind of sound like they are doing most things right. But it's a lot of money for an early beta.
 
user15026
@Frank Norbert's has a ball on a string (well, it used to...) and he would go NUTS over it
 
@AshleyNunn Bela's has that, too, but she doesn't seem to play with it much.
Tie a string bell to it, though, and now she won't leave it alone.
 
@Wandang Dammit, you could have split that up for out-of-context stars.
> I hate ref linking
> but i love you so go ahead and give it to me
 
user15026
@Frank Now it makes noooooises!
 
@Yuki i am so terribly sorry yuki that i do not have your dirty mind
 
8:34 PM
@AshleyNunn Yup.
Even catnip only works a short time for her. She should be using the scratching post a whole lot more than she is.
 
@Wandang I don't have a dirty mind, I have a "need moar stars" mind.
 
user15026
@Frank Does she know how to use it?
 
user15026
Because I had to teach Norbert how to.
 
@AshleyNunn haha norbert
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah, I've taken her paws and scratched them on it several times.
 
8:35 PM
HamStare @Wandang
 
@Wandang ಠ_ಠ
 
user15026
@Wandang What? It is his name!
 
Even thrown the little ball on a string around for her to play with.
I need to get one of those motorized balls with a tail on it for her.
 
user15026
@Frank Ah. Some cats just don't like to use it - I had a cat that preferred cardboard, and another that liked the scratchy rope stuff.
 
@AshleyNunn my second name too
 
8:36 PM
She'd bloody tear that thing apart.
 
;)
i just get excited when i hear german words in this chat , sry
 
user15026
@Wandang No worries. :) Yeah, my cat's name is Norbert. He is pretty cute and very silly. :)
 
just like me
 
user15026
@Wandang Then he is aptly named! :)
 
8:39 PM
 
user15026
@Wandang This is excellent, and made me smile much.
 
:D:D
 
user15026
@Wandang These are the things my cat is best at.
 
Two badges today. I need to get a bronze badge today, so I complete the set.
 
seems like your cat has class
 
8:42 PM
 
if i had a cat it would more be like this:
 
KITTY.
 
Finally I am able to vote for myself.
 
"Meow Brow" showcases new work that takes on the familiar cliché of the adorable kitten, a trope that Weldon has perverted by adding extra sets of eyes to give viewers nauseating double-vision.
http://www.coolhunting.com/culture/meow-brow-casey-weldon.php
 
@Wandang That cat is... I don't know what expression is on that cat.
It almost looks like incomprehensible sorrow.
 
8:45 PM
i am getting sick from that site
omg...
 
user15026
 
user15026
That's my Norbert :D
 
@MBraedley probably got diarrhea right now
 
@MBraedley I think that's a cat that's about to sneeze
 
So who am I supposed to vote for?
 
8:46 PM
@Sconibulus me, obviously
 
I don't see a place to write in @gnomeslice
4
 
user15026
@Sconibulus Me, of course ;)
 
@Sconibulus I didn't nominate.
 
@AshleyNunn it has the same laziness as me
 
@AshleyNunn well jeah, that's implicit. Whoever gets a diamond is isntantly Ashley-Nunnified
 
8:47 PM
@Sconibulus who are you!?!?!?!
 
user15026
@KevinvanderVelden I am legion :P
 
user15026
@Wandang He is a super lazy kitten creature :P
 
yesterday @KevinvanderVelden and @3ventic created a hamstare graph for this chat
 
What?
 
and you were in it hamstaring wandang. so "i" appeared twice on there :D why
do you know another wandang?
 
8:48 PM
@AshleyNunn He looks like a bigger version of Sodan, my parents cat.
 
@AshleyNunn dat tail!
 
Nope!
 
@AshleyNunn well we cannot blame him right, you are spoiling him way too much with your cuddling
 
I am allergic to cats.
It sucks.
 
user15026
@Krazer It's always curly! The vet thinks it is hilarious.
 
user20683
8:49 PM
@Arperum I find the fact that it's Sodan and not Shodan...disappointing.
 
you were on there twice? Weird...
 
@Sconibulus lies! you know my evil twin!
 
user15026
@Wandang I cant help it he is so cute and snuggly and purring and yay cat snuggles
 
You have an evil twin? How cliche
 
8:49 PM
@Sconibulus He got Stared at with a "W", and with a "w"
 
"i want to cuddle ashley nunn"
 
user15026
@Wandang hahahaha oh, that reminds me of a picture I can show you :)
 
I took my cat to the vet the other day, because she's been peeing on furniture lately, and acting strange. Thankfully, the vet didn't seem too concerned that it might be something serious. He thinks it's an enlarged thyroid gland.
 
Ahh... so it was case-sensitive graphing
 
@AshleyNunn best feature~
 
user15026
8:50 PM
@Wandang I do like cuddles!
 
@Sconibulus Yup, until that got fixed, the earlier version even had arp, Arperum, 3ve and 3ventic on them.
 
@Sconibulus that would be a logical but disappointing explanation
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Oh, that's good - when I had that happen, one cat was in kidney failure, and one is diabetic
 
HamStare @VVandang
 
@AshleyNunn I always get worried when we have to take her to the vet because she's like 15 and a half years old.
 
user15026
8:51 PM
 
@AshleyNunn what , haha cats can have diabetes?
 
hmm, that one didn't work
 
@Sconibulus YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG
 
user15026
For reference, those two cats are littermates.
 
And, well, the last time we made an unscheduled visit for her brother, we had to put him down...
 
8:51 PM
oh, right
 
"littermates"...
 
hmm, still didn't work
 
user15026
@Wandang Yep, they can. The smaller cat in that picture is epileptic, for example.
 
@Wandang ಠ_ಠ
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Oh that is always hard
 
8:52 PM
@Sconibulus I don't think it'll pick up an edit
 
@AshleyNunn Yeah. It was a few years ago now, but I still miss him.
 
HamStare @VVandang
 
user15026
@GnomeSlice Losing pets is always super sadface. I still miss all my pets that have passed.
 
oh, right, he put in a thing so it would only fire off if the person was real, didn't he
 
Yes
It only works for a real person (I think pingable in the room? Or maybe he has a dynamic list of all users ever. WHO KNOWS.)
 
8:54 PM
HamStare @OrigamiRobot This is why we need PaperStare back!
 
@OrigamiRobot ಠ_ಠ
 
HamStare @uni
@fredley I think you should make a special exception in your script for @uni.
 
I can still change my vote you know >_>
 
Are we spamlimiting @fredley again?

I retract all previous @unis.

user20683
In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the Jurchen Jin Dynasty (1115–1234) waged a series of military campaigns against the Chinese Song Dynasty (960–1279). In 1115, the Jurchens rebelled against their overlords, the Khitans of the Liao Dynasty (907–1125), and declared the formation of the Jin. Allying with the Song against their common enemy the Liao, the Jin promised to return to the Song the territories in northern China that had fallen under Liao control since 938. The Jurchens' quick defeat of the Liao combined with Song military failures made the Jin reluctant to cede these terr...

Other people can vote for me.
 
9:25 PM
@Yuki Pick the one I'm not going to, then.
 
But you shouldn't.
 
Actually scratch that, I'm more worried about crowd participation.
It'll be really awkward if I'm the only one singing...
Especially if I sing loudly...
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Hehe
 
So, do you think more people will be singing along at 4 or 7?
