Q: What does your job level do in final fantasy III?

I have final fantasy 3 on my DS, and I don't understand what my job level is suppossed to do, or how it works besides it upgrading after battles.

If there is an answer that is downvoted and is wrong, should it be flagged for deletion or something?

Wrigglenite

Nah

Unless it's malicious or purposefully misleading

Moacir

5:09 PM

gaming.stackexchange.com/a/332322/172501 I was checking my Downvotes (Since they are not many) and stumbled upon this one

Wrigglenite

It's an honest attempt at an answer

Not worthy of deletion

Moacir

I see

Also it looks like I want it deleted just to get my rep back, but it is not the case.

Wrigglenite

You'll notice there's no option for "Incorrect answer" for flags

Unionhawk

@Moacir I think that change is permanent after a certain amount of time

anyway

Moacir

I have like 80 votes

I vote too little

Wrigglenite

5:22 PM

I don't see @badp's post under "Hot Meta Posts"

I.. hope it's not because of the title

user15026

@Wrigglenite In fact there's a decline reason that's like "flags should not be used to indicate a wrong answer" or somethig

Wrigglenite

I'm familiar with that one :P

user15026

Well, in case others aren't ;)

Wrigglenite

Oh yeah, I'm just making a bit of fun of myself

user15026

That's fair :)

Q: Regarding Svoloch

In Call of Duty: World at War, during the Vendetta mission, you and Reznov encounter a sniper who Reznov calls Svoloch. In the sequel, Call of Duty: Black Ops, during the Vorkuta mission, Mason and Reznov encounter yet another Svoloch, who Mason punches in the face. Are they the same person? If...

@Ash True, it's a good thing I like unlimited chat editing so much

user15026

@InvaderSkoodge @badp It was great serving with you both. To new adventures, however they look. :D

user15026

Love it.

Unionhawk

for some reason my brain mixed @Wipqozn and @badp and I thought "wait they took @Ash's blue text before @Wipqozn's what to heck"

Feeds

Wipqozn has removed LessPop_MoreFizz from the list of this room's owners.

Invader Skoodge

5:51 PM

Definitely. All the people I worked with for my mod tenure were among the most reasonable the Internet has ever had to offer.

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk Nope. You're stuck with me.

user15026

Agreed, 10000%. We've been hella lucky to have so many excellent humans serving as mod.

user15026

@Feeds awww that's a little sad

Half Empty

@InvaderSkoodge you too?

Wipqozn

@Ash I just noticed that never happened

Invader Skoodge

5:53 PM

@HalfEmpty I am unequivocally the most reasonable and the most equal.

Unionhawk

the end of a very long era

user15026

@InvaderSkoodge most modest too ;)

Invader Skoodge

@Ash Someone gets it.

Moacir

@Wipqozn Can you put [tag:-♦♦♦] on topic?

Aw

Doesnt work

Unionhawk

hmm

if chat breaks I blame @Wipqozn

VICTORY

Bittersweet, but still a victory.

Unionhawk

I'm kind of surprised it let me do that but I guess it's just wrapping arbitrary <span>s in styling

Wipqozn

6:20 PM

The first thing I should do when @InvaderSkoodge loses his diamond is change his avatar back to gir and rename him to Omega.

Unionhawk

you can't change avatars anymore remember

you can only reset to identicon

@InvaderSkoodge I meant, are you stepping down as well?

In Old School RuneScape, you automatically get logged out after a certain period of inactivity.

Arqade is a tree, the users are the branches and the mods leaves

Dragonrage

looking at the silver linings, at least we might get to see @GraceNote again

Moacir

6:59 PM

@Dragonrage And then someone goes "This was part of my master plan all along mowahaha"

user15026

@Moacir maybe mod branches because tehre are less of those and more leaves?

Private Pansy

And then anger?

I've been playing some Frostpunk on and off lately. It's so weirdly engaging, I normally don't play that genre of games

Also, did we just lose our last active mod?

Moacir

@Nzall Other than the turtle you mean?

Private Pansy

@Nzall The main campaign?

Wrigglenite

@Nzall Hey, Robotnik is still here

Nzall

@Moacir oh right, the turtle, and yeah, Robotnik, but I checked his history and he hasn't made any main site posts in 6 months

Mad Scientist

@Nzall the important part is flag handling, which you can't see as a regular user

Moacir

8:28 PM

7 hours ago, by Moacir

Private Pansy

I kinda feel that the campaign's relentless push down in terms of temperature gets "boring", in that there's a somewhat optimal path you can take in terms of what to do at what time, and if you fall off it then it's hard to catch up, but if you stay on it then there's not much challenge

Nzall

@PrivatePansy Yeah. I'm playing on the lowest difficulty and I'm currently preparing for that big storm when you reach 30 days in

Ave

wow

we'll only be left with raven dreamer, robotnik and wipqozn

to the contrary I might be able to show up without a vague sense of guilt that I'm supposed to be looking at flags instead

Tim Stone

NEVERTHELESS, I wish you the best

badp

and I appreciate it greatly

Nzall

I'd make a joke about this becoming a wild west town, but I'm fairly sure room owners can still do a lot of things

Mad Scientist

8:33 PM

@Nzall this room has a reasonably high mod density in any case, even without room owners

Moacir

Even more when messages get flagged

Private Pansy

@Nzall Actually, not much. It's just kicking, room timeout, and migrating messages

Unionhawk

Yeah it's not nothing but it's not much

That and view deleted messages, edit room info, manage permissions, and manage feeds too

Vs mod, missing: binding flags, ban button, delete button, no edit restrictions, unbannable, unkickable, can create private mod rooms, view mod flags, force change site association, freeze/unfreeze room, and probably a couple more buttons

(oh and owners also get the most important pin and cancel stars buttons)

We probably could use at least one or two new room owners though

Moacir

8:51 PM

Cancel stars is mod abuse

Feeds

Unionhawk has added Wipqozn to the list of this room's owners.

Unionhawk

there, that should be enough

GodEmperorDune

@Feeds how dare you

Moacir

Stars belong to the people!

user15026

Oh, yeah, I can get chat suspended now.... :P

user15026

8:53 PM

(I was apparently suspended once, but I never noticed til much later)

Dragonrage

@Ash i think i was also suspended once for 30 minutes. back when i first joined the room

Moacir

Can you see if I was ever suspended?

Dragonrage

apparently someone didnt think it was funny when i asked if i could delete system 32 folder from my mac

user15026

Mods can see but no one else can

Wipqozn

@Ash I can't wait

Mad Scientist

9:12 PM

@Ash you were a mod at that time, so it didn't actually suspend you

user15026

Yeah, but if you look at my profile I believe it shows one suspension

it is, but using a different region locks me out of some other stuff

is nintendo really region locking that badly?

Ave

(though IG I don't need to reset anytime soon as I can just nnid unlink through gm9)

The region is locked to your credit card location, no?

Ave

@PrivatePansy surprisingly no

many sites don't seem to check that

@BlueBug Not here, we can't. You're in a chat room for gamers, not UI experts.

Nor do we condone murder, even though that's a tag here.
