@Yuki ....will I grow that bit back? I don't wanna be like....missing fingers because of this.

Yuki

@AshleyNunn That's why I suggested a fingernail, because those grow back anyways.

Ooh, an election!

@ChrisF Looking to replace that shiny fifth diamond you're about to lose?

Kevin van der Velden

@AshleyNunn what I really want to know is how they know this, and how many evil ashleynunn clones there are around here!

FAE

21:02

@AshleyNunn I don't think so either. They use hair in movies, but a snip of hair actually won't work; what you really need is the root of the hair, which will work.

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden None so far, unless I am one of them and just think I am the only one

Unionhawk

Alright, time to end the weirdness of unmedicated @uni

user15026

@Unionhawk and begin the weirdness of medicated @uni?

21:05

@AshleyNunn most likely, how many stories do you know where the clone knows they're a clone, statistically there are many ashleynunns and you just don't know

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden Its true

@GnomeSlice who was cloned in stargate?

@GnomeSlice Horray internet

@FAE Try http, not https

@Undo Already did, still fails.

Aha, bug fixed. Well that was a productive 5 minutes. What did I miss?

Tim Stone

@FAE Try with HTTP and clear your DNS cache, maybe?

@GnomeSlice damn it now I am singing the song from the movie

Tim Stone

21:07

But it's not showing that any candidates have nominated yet, which is my fault.

Trent Hawkins

So... did it happen?

Unionhawk

So in unrelated news, I've been watching Homestar Runner again, to confirm if it is, in fact, funny, or if I was just in the 5th grade, and it's hilarious.

Jamaican Bobsled Team raises $25k in Dogecoin

Kevin van der Velden

@TrentHawkins oh yeah, that guy

@GnomeSlice which they can sell for the good price of... 2 dollars and a burger at mac donalds?

Yuki

21:10

@GnomeSlice It's at $30k+ now, I think.

GnomeSlice

@KevinvanderVelden It's $25K worth of the currency.

And it's up to 30k now

Trent Hawkins

@KevinvanderVelden Also, not sure if replicator clones would quailify, there were two carters at one point.

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice that's nice, who's backing that money?

user15026

@GnomeSlice If they can find people to accept that as actual money

GnomeSlice

Oh it's a 'real' currency. As real as bitcoin.

Kevin van der Velden

21:11

Cause just try to redeem bitcoin, and that's the not meme one!

Unionhawk

Currency exchanges accept it.

user15026

Which is to say they might be promising more than they can deliver

Ben Brocka

Microsoft paying Youtubers on Machinima to say good or neutral things about Xbox One and not mention bad things or being paid for it

You can exchange it for BitCoin, and you can exchange that for real money

@BenBrocka oh my

Undo

21:12

what else can they do?

FAE

@TimStone Here we go. I have to completely disable HTTPS Everywhere for it to work.

Tim Stone

Ahh.

Because of that stupid Stack Exchange network rule.

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka lol

Ben Brocka

here's the agreement in full: pastebin.com/vec6vjv5

@BenBrocka What the hell, that's awful

Tim Stone

I was going to submit a pull request that disabled it because it's stupid but their process is annoying.

Arperum

Is there some way where you can see the list of users with most helpfull flags?

Undo

@Arperum No

FAE

@Arperum No, flags are not public that way.

Undo

Speaking of flags, who wants to help flag a bunch of stuff on Arqade?

GnomeSlice

@Undo THERE'S NO U

Brian

21:18

@Arperum No, but when someone nominate themselves it shows how many they have.

Undo

:P

Mana

there's no undo button in moderation

RedRiderX

hmm elections.se doesn't seem to be working.

Mana

actually there is...for most things

I will vote for anyone who pledges not to use the 'Ban Gnomeslice' button.

@BenBrocka Machinima is scum

@Brian Yea, I've seen that bit. And you can see who has at least 500 by looking at the marshal badge.

user15026

@spugsley yay!

Kevin van der Velden

@spugsley yay :D

fredley

Dan mobile chat

spugsley

hahaha but my no meta stats will probably rule me out right away :) I'm a lurker

Brian

@spugsley You'll have to explain to me why people were saying you're internet famous earlier then

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley [text](link)?

badp

21:23

@spugsley :o

spugsley

@Brian lol I've been published a couple of times

samanthapugsley.com/711905-biography-cv

there my fancy CV :O

Yuki

@spugsley You forgot to mention that you're Internet Famous.

Brian

@spugsley Cool

spugsley

@Yuki am I :O

I don't remember why?!?!

Yuki

@spugsley Well, you're on the cover of some random metal band's album, I would assume that makes you Internet Famous.

Frank

21:25

Phone interview...over!

spugsley

@Yuki oh yeah!

user15026

@Frank Hope it went well!

Frank

@AshleyNunn I think it did.

FAE

@Frank Good luck!

Frank

I think I flubbed the, "Where do you see yourself in five years?" question, but otherwise I think it went well.

Yuki

21:28

@Frank The last time I got that question, I answered "<Age + 5>."

And possibly "Mars".

Frank

@Yuki Ok, I didn't flub it that badly.

Brian

@spugsley Looks like you're the same age as I am. And we seem to be the only people in chat who have pictures of ourselves as our avatars. That's not enough to get my vote, but you don't seem like a bad choice either.

@Frank I hate those questions too

Yuki

@Brian How do you know my avatar isn't a portrait of myself?

Arperum

@Yuki That would be about my reaction too. My future planning skills are terrible

Yuki

Stalker.

Undo

21:29

flags a bunch of comments

FEichinger

So, we're at six nominations now, interesting.

Brian

@Yuki Yep, it's because I stalked you and know that you're actually an alligator with a computer

spugsley

@Brian hah thanks :) I know there are some things that go against me. I'm very much non aggressive and prefer to lurk as opposed to joining the discussions on the meta but there's merit in that too. That's why I like that the community gets to decide :)

RedRiderX

Hey! You don't even have to handle them!

@Brian None of them.

@Brian The election is happening because we need more mods

Yuki

@Brian Wait, we have 3 mods?

Unionhawk

@Yuki Apparently

Frank

@Yuki We have six, apparently.

Yuki

21:34

@Unionhawk Again, I thought they were all @AshleyNunn.

Unionhawk

@Yuki Oh yeah, I forgot.

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuki Indeed, we actually need more mods because @AshleyNunn's personality is fragmenting again

Unionhawk

@badp etc are all @AshleyNunn: DATA ACCEPTED

ManishEarth

@spugsley There are plenty of great mods who stay away from meta but are extremely helpful and efficient on main

GnomeSlice

@spugsley have you sold any prints?

spugsley

21:35

@GnomeSlice yes :)

GnomeSlice

Awesome!

ManishEarth

Though low meta participation is still a big minus point when I vote (but I'm not voting here anyway)

spugsley

@ManishEarth thank you, that's very comforting <3. I do often read the meta. I'm answering right now as to why I don't participate under the comment section of my nom

Unionhawk

@badp notice that I have almost no rep on Gaming. I do game and could participate, but never had the time :p

I think I have more invisibul meta repz on Gaming than on main

Arperum

@spugsley Tell them to come over to Belgium for a concert. They can sleep over at my place :)

afk for a bit, try not to burn the chatroom down while I'm gone

ManishEarth

I also don't know the community

badp

@ManishEarth Y U NO VOTE

Arperum

@Brian This chatroom is in a constant state of burning.

spugsley

@Arperum yup, just ask @kalina

ManishEarth

Well, I know the community enough to know that nobody should get a diamond (especially you :p ), but if asked to choose the top three from a bunch I wouldn't be able to

Brian

@spugsley Did I hear bacon? You've got my vote.

spugsley

@AshleyNunn will also promise bacon if/when she decides to run so :D

Arperum

@ManishEarth Bacon from @spegs, cake from @blem, we need one more person to bring it to us.

Bacon forever

Unionhawk

@SPUGS 2014!

@Arperum @BenBrocka has a jetpack

Unionhawk

DOUBLE BACON ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY

I will not promise bacon.

Unionhawk

Arperum

@Frank Because Bela stole it? Or was it @TrentHawkins?

Frank

21:47

@Arperum Well, if anyone has bacon in the house, it's @TrentHawkins. I usually don't.

OrigamiRobot

What a monster.

fredley

@GnomeSlice Yes, sorry

Too many things going on

We closed a round last week, so that video's been on the back burner

spugsley

fyi I am on a LOT of meds right now so I can't promise I'll be this fun if I'm elected

GnomeSlice

@fredley That's fine. I can wait a little longer. I actually have another project coming up in February.

If it is time sensitive though we can work something out.

fredley

@GnomeSlice Ok. I'll let you know when we come back to it

It's not time sensitive

Yuki

21:50

@spugsley The solution here is to be constantly be on a LOT of meds.

fredley

How long do you think it will take you?

FAE

@spugsley A candidate with a history of drug use? Tsk tsk!

Yuki

I would not advise this.

GnomeSlice

@fredley From what I saw of the storyboard, the video will be around 1 minute. Given that I have to do all of the graphics, we need voice work, other sound effects, music... probably close to a month.

spugsley

@FAE ....:p can't deny it. Intestinal inflammation is med worthy

fredley

21:51

@GnomeSlice Right ok

GnomeSlice

Maybe a little less.

I'm still inexperienced so that's just my best guess.

Arperum

@GnomeSlice Time estimations are the worst.

GnomeSlice

Estimations of any kind are the worst.

Arperum

I hate having to give them, and then when you end up needing some more time they are all like "you promised x", And I'm like "Nope, I told you I think I'd need y, and you turned that into x and interpreted that as a promise."

fredley

I want to ask an election question that amounts to "Have you ever had your mind changed on Arqade due to a meta or chat discussion, and if not, why are you such a close-minded jerk?"

but I can't think of a good way to word that :P

FAE

@Sterno Just cut it off. "and if not, why?"

Grace Note

I might suggest trying "Have you ever had your mind changed on Arqade due to a meta or chat discussion, and if not, why are you such a close-minded jerk?"

GnomeSlice

@Sterno Seems fine as-is
