The Quill and Tankard

Yup, he's waiting for the war to end so he can go back to whoever won and sell the onions to them, not only will they be low on supplies cos of winter with all the dead people won't be able to be making food

He's going to make a killing

For the time being only look at anything new that comes in

Might start the ASOIAF at some point but I need some new answers before I go for that to get my score up

Edlothiad

Pahah. Davos Musk, the great ancestor of Elon Musk

206, 56 posts, average 3.5 upvotes per post, should be easy, no?

I got 7 on my late answer yesterday, granted that one was a huge effort

TheLethalCarrot

9:15 AM

Shouldn't be too bad but people don't like my late answers and both mine and Egg's (I think) recent splurge in late answers left them voted lower

Most of my recent ones, and quite a few of Eggs, are all at 0 or 1

Edlothiad

True

Don't have the magic I have ;)

TheLethalCarrot

So I might give it some breathing room for a bit to let it cool down haha

Lol

Even the lyrics one is only at 6

I felt for sure that'd get more than that

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot I need to catch up to ibid a little, but I'll drop a 500 bounty on it at some point. That should get it some upvotes

TheLethalCarrot

500's a bit much but thanks

Oh 3k to catch ibid

Quite a ways to go

Edlothiad

Meh, considering it was 10k a month ago, lol

Maybe not 10, but like 7 or 8

50k until I'm in the top 10, ez.

TheLethalCarrot

9:21 AM

Ah so 1 or 2 months and you should have it

Now that one's a ways to go haha

Assuming you hit the rep cap and don't go over it so 200 it'll take 250 days to get 50k

Edlothiad

Lordy Lord, I'd have to become Valorum, what a scary idea that is

TheLethalCarrot

Hahaha

Just get a good quick answer on a popular topic/question everyday!

How hard can that be? :P

Edlothiad

Well there's like ~20 questions everyday, of which ~3 hit HNQ, if you got one you'd get close than answered 2 or 3 more everyday.

But you'd spend all your time answering things and googling, it'd be poor effort

Should I prepare an answer to this question, because I know Valorum wants to answer it: scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/179321/…

TheLethalCarrot

Oh yeah the HNQ prefers low quality crap than stuff that get's a tonne of research into it

It's closed so no?

Edlothiad

It should be re-opened, it's a valid question, and when it hits the reopen queue I have to re-open it

TheLethalCarrot

9:36 AM

You initially closed it?

Edlothiad

Yep cuz it had a recommendation question in it that Valorum removed.

TheLethalCarrot

Ahh didn't see that, I thought you were saying it was recommendation for the book

TheLethalCarrot

10:20 AM

Edlothiad

Paha! Yeah I saw that

Also is Sophie Turner blonde naturally?

Do they really just die her hair red for the shows and stuff?

Jarko Dubbeldam

or wig, idk. Doubt Emilia Clarke dyed her hair

Edlothiad

Sophie Turner dies her hair, just read up a quick gossip mag. I think Emilia Clarke has a wig cuz her hair is usually shorter.

Also imagine having to put all those braids and things in on a human. They probably have them all ready to go before they even start fillming

Jarko Dubbeldam

I doubt that would be the longest someone spent in makeup during the production

Edlothiad

@JarkoDubbeldam I dunno, thems some pretty intricate braids

TheLethalCarrot

10:33 AM

@Edlothiad Is that it ruined for you now?

Edlothiad

Nah not at all. I just would've thought it'd be easier to cast someone with red hair, for this and XMen, although I guess it's not hard to die your hair. Her hair also looks naturally red.

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah it does

Edlothiad

Worrying

TheLethalCarrot

Though with all the recasting they've done they probably didn't want to again haha

@Edlothiad What be worrying young Ed?

Edlothiad

11:15 AM

@TheLethalCarrot That died auburn hair can look so reaslistic

TheLethalCarrot

Haha

It's definitely the world's best invention of the 21st century so far

Edlothiad

World's most worrying invention. I'm a purist

Although it wouldn't be possible for my kids to have red hair anyways because no one in the last 3 generations of my family has had red hair

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

Edlothiad

And while that's not cause for elimination, it gives pretty bad odds to the altered MCR1 protein

TheLethalCarrot

Yes...

How is that ninth born sons question in the HNQ? -_-

Assuming it still is haha

Edlothiad

11:22 AM

I don't know, utterly ridiculous. Anything gets you in there nowadays

TheLethalCarrot

Yup

It's the new gates.. don't tell amf

Edlothiad

pahah!

Space Exploration has so much in their review queue, gosh I'd gobbledy goop it up.

Spend 12 months getting the top review spot on M&TV or not?

TheLethalCarrot

Do you care about M&TV? I know I've given up with it

Edlothiad

No, I just wanted to see how full their queues were.

And I remembered I can do FP/LA reviews there

Actually I should save my skillz for SFF

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

We need to get Nog to start asking here instead of there ;P

My problem with M&TV is they don't really like sources and a lot of the answers that are wrong get highly upvoted

But I'll stop my talking about it now cos y'know

TheLethalCarrot

11:38 AM

That Q is reopened, now's your chance to jump on it haha

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot I've been watching

@TheLethalCarrot We all know what happened during those dark 45 minutes :O

It was the Short Night ;P

TheLethalCarrot

It sure was haha

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot Couldn't be said more succinctly, also some of their policies (banning IDs for one) just don't seem to be a community agreement, losing 2/6 of their top users most active tag... I don't...

TheLethalCarrot

Didn't know about that but that too then haha

Edlothiad

Lol already accepted paha!

TheLethalCarrot

11:48 AM

Haha that was quick

Jarko Dubbeldam

thrown another question at you guys :p

TheLethalCarrot

Probably

Q: Does the show ever make clear which dragon is Viserion and which is Rhaegal?

In this answer the explanation is given that Viserion is the one that died in Season 7, based on the colour of the dragon: "It may be as you say, blood of my blood," Dany replied gravely, "but he shall have a new name for this new life. I would name them all for those the gods have taken. The...

game-of-thrones

Edlothiad

I'm almost certain Dany says something about green black and white

The Green egg is viserion, black balerion and white rhaegal

Jarko Dubbeldam

11:57 AM

@Edlothiad I'd be interested to see that, because I haven't found it

Edlothiad

Or whichever order that's in, I swapped viserion and Rhaegal

@JarkoDubbeldam That requires effort, I don't do effort.

Jarko Dubbeldam

:(

TheLethalCarrot

I do effort :P

Edlothiad

I can't tell if work is throttling my internet

TheLethalCarrot

Not in S1

Edlothiad

11:59 AM

Will I be the first ever person on SFF to hit 2500 first posts.

(the answer is yes)

TheLethalCarrot

Unluckily for us seasons 2, 3, 4 and 5 aren't annotated

5 might be actually

Lol

Edlothiad

You guys are smart, know how to make this into all reviews? data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/71608/top-reviewers

TheLethalCarrot

No idea, check the tables we have access too?

Edlothiad

Quick google = de nada

Jarko Dubbeldam

it doesn't seem like the other review tasks have a user id

Edlothiad

12:08 PM

Actually I knew that, my apologies.

Guess it's brute force time B-)

If I take the top user from each queue, and see their total, that should be good enough right?

TheLethalCarrot

@JarkoDubbeldam I've found their names at least once so give me some time to track down the scene to see if it's made clear who is who

Jarko Dubbeldam

@TheLethalCarrot in the catacombs in mereen?

TheLethalCarrot

Yup only reference I've found to their names but it appears to be just their names and not which is which

Jarko Dubbeldam

12:11 PM

yeah, I came across that one before, I think both dragons were offscreen at the time she says that

TheLethalCarrot

Yup she mentions their names in S7 too but again no indication is given

Edlothiad

Give it a no!

Jarko Dubbeldam

A: Are the Lannister siblings really who they say they are?

The "the liberties [Aerys] took during the bedding" as the basis of a theory for Jaime and Cersei doesn't fly according to information from the recently released book The World Of Ice And Fire, as quoted by Tumblr user joannalannister: The theory “Jaime and Cersei are Secret Targs” was based ...

> Joanna was not in contact with Aerys again until they moved the court to Casterly Rock for a year in 267 AC, which was after Jaime and Cersei were born.

what? why was court moved?

that's honestly the first time I hear of that

Edlothiad

76k seems to be the highest

TheLethalCarrot

@JarkoDubbeldam Afraid I can't really give you a better answer than that

I'll keep looking but anything I find would be OoU

Edlothiad

12:21 PM

Good answer

Jarko Dubbeldam

No is a perfectly fine answer

TheLethalCarrot

Okay I was looking for some OoU merch to add in, can't be bothered to edit it in now though, and found this

hbostore.co.uk/gift-guide/game-of-thrones/…

Might add it to the which dragon died Q haha

Aegon

12:42 PM

@JarkoDubbeldam Because both the King and his hand were at the Rock

Edlothiad

12:54 PM

Is that the only time?

The court was moved (@Aegon)

Kepotx

@Edlothiad what dou you want exactly ?

Edlothiad

We've proven it impossible. Only suggested edits has a tally on SEDE

Thanks for the willingness to help though

Aegon

@Edlothiad I believe so. Or as Catelyn said (Probably, not sure), wherever the King goes, the court follows.

I think she said it when Ned frowned over the size of Robert's party

@TheLethalCarrot I can't watch the clip. At work. Did she really say that?

Or is it an error in transcription?

TheLethalCarrot

No she really said it

I watched the clip to check too

Aegon

If she really said that, I am gonna be so pissed at D&D that you won't hear the end of it for the next two weeks.

That's it lads, brace yourself for my whining

DAMMIT DUMB AND DUMBER, YOU HAD ONE JOB! ONE JOB!

TheLethalCarrot

1:07 PM

What's wrong with what she said haha

Aegon

Vicerys and Rhaegon?

Who in seven hells are they?

TheLethalCarrot

Oh gon haha

Vicerys is probably a transcript typo

Edlothiad

@Aegon Yes she did.

Kepotx

Dumb and dumber fit so well for D&D...

TheLethalCarrot

Let me double check what she said now to see if it is gon or gar...

Aegon

1:08 PM

@Kepotx Some famous fan or associate of GRRM dubbed them that

I think it was his editor

Who called them Dumb and dumber

Edlothiad

She says Rhaegar

TheLethalCarrot

Oh she does say Rhaegar but it does sound like Rhaegon. Must be a transcript error let me fix it

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Fix the c in Viserys too while you are at it. Or at least put a [sic] there

TheLethalCarrot

I fixed them both

Aegon

Phew

TheLethalCarrot

1:10 PM

It did sound like Rhaegon on first listen though

Edlothiad

God D&D might make things wonky, but as a standalone story, S7 gives me chills, and Emilia's accent is chilling

Kepotx

at least, Vicerys is just a bad spelling of Viserys, but even if they sound close, confuse Rhaegar and Rhaegon... gosh...

Aegon

Oh Linda called them Dumb and Dumber

TheLethalCarrot

The dragons are screaming over head and there's wave noise and wind and stuff. I mistook it for Rhaegon on first listen too

Aegon

Well, that's it. No, not the episode as such, though I have a lot to say about that too. But now Dumb & Dumber has done it for sure.

Tweeted by hippoiathanatoi on June 8, 2015 at 7:50 AM

Kepotx

1:16 PM

8 june 2015, so its about episode 9 of season 5, with the Shireen baratheon thing

TheLethalCarrot

Looking at the replies, yes

Edlothiad

Can someone give me a quote and context, that's dead for me

TheLethalCarrot

For the tweet?

Edlothiad

Yeah

TheLethalCarrot

Well, that's it. No, not the episode as such, though I have a lot to say about that too. But now Dumb & Dumber has done it for sure.

Edlothiad

1:20 PM

All I see is what it says, but what is it a reply to?

TheLethalCarrot

Oh haha

Aegon

@Edlothiad salon.com/g00/2015/06/14/…

Edlothiad

Oh it's not a reply to anything?

TheLethalCarrot

No

It's about the Shireen burning though I believe

Jarko Dubbeldam

@Kepotx both are wrong though, it's Rhaegal

TheLethalCarrot

1:23 PM

No it's Rhaegar, the quote is in context to her brothers not the dragons

Edlothiad

WHOOO WE LOVE SANSA!

> Perhaps it was a way to remind people that the Sansa of the books is far different (and stronger, and more consistent) than the Sansa of the show?

Jarko Dubbeldam

ah

Edlothiad

Also @Aegon you're dead to me. I was perfectly safe in my ignorant bliss thinking Shireen would be a show only thing.

Aegon

@Edlothiad Good now D&D can be dead to you too. That's what matters the most

Edlothiad

YOU'RE ALL DEAD TO ME!

TheLethalCarrot

1:25 PM

lol

Edlothiad

WHY THE F**FDSAFDSAFSA WOULD THEY REVEAL CONTENT FROM TWOW?! WHY?!

Do your show, and stick to that, don't go further, it's not all about you D&D

TheLethalCarrot

David Benioff and Dan Weiss … are no longer telling the same story as 'A Song of Ice and Fire.' They’re telling a cheaper, bastardized, dollar-store version of it, complete with all the loathsome tropes of Hollywood that drove George R.R. Martin to write his magnum opus in the first place.

A good summary I felt

Aegon

To be perfectly honest I didn't know Shireen would meet the same fate in the books either

Really sad.

Stannis Baratheon is #NotMyMannis

Jarko Dubbeldam

lol

@TheLethalCarrot I like that you added a spoiler notification to that image, but left this in:

In this answer the explanation is given that Viserion is the one that died in Season 7, based on the colour of the dragon:

Aegon

But that's so messed up Stanny! After all that spiel about owing a duty to your daughter, you go and do that? Boo

Edlothiad

1:35 PM

STAAAAAAAAAANNIS THE COWAAAAAAAAAAAARDICED

TheLethalCarrot

@JarkoDubbeldam Didn't see it to be honest haha

@Aegon Maybe this is why TWOW is delayed, he's changing it haha

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot He better. Or he will have hordes of devastated fans asking "WHYYYYYYYYYYY"

TheLethalCarrot

Well it might actually make sense in the books haha

Or some sense rather

Edlothiad

STOP CHANGING JUST GIB ME

Kepotx

I don"t see GRRMartin make a mistake like this... i mean, it's really out of the character of Stannis

Edlothiad

Bad Ed remember your teachings

23 hours ago, by Edlothiad

Ed's timeline for GRRM publications:
2018 - Maybe F&BV1, MAYBE
2019 - Probably F&BV1, and some other non-planetos books
2020 - some more non-planetos stuff
2021 - TWOW Part 1, oh btw there will be 8 books.
2025 - F&BV2
2028 - George GG Martin (RIP)
2029 - ADOS and ASOIAFV8 Written by Elio and Linda, done and dusted
2030 - Full D&E by E&L done and dusted
2031 - Special on Rohanne Webber for one Ed of House Lothiad.

#neverforget

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

Edlothiad

@Kepotx, how do you compare GRRM to other writers?

@TheLethalCarrot Must survive till 2031, must survive till Rohanne Webber special!

I hope they make a spin off show only about Rohanne Webber.

I'd buy it. Maybe

TheLethalCarrot

Wow, must be special to you then

:P

Aegon

@Edlothiad She is grandmother to a very great man after all

Edlothiad

NO SHE'S NOT, LIES!

LIES I TELLS YA!

After this her fiery spirit burnt up and she joined the Mother in the heavens.

Aegon

1:46 PM

@Edlothiad "~~Dumbledore~~ Tywin Lannister is a great ~~wizard~~ man. Only a fool would question it."

@Edlothiad Evil Dunk! How dare he

Edlothiad

And so passed the only Elf of Finwë's House to grace Planetos

Dunk should've wed her. Stupid Dunk...

Stupid GRRM

Doesn't know how to make a good story

Aegon

Does know how to make a good story that feels almost real

Which is better than the load-o-crap happy-endings stories

Edlothiad

No he doesn't it's faker than a barbie doll.

In the real world, Dunk would've married Rohanne. She would've joined him on his adventures, she would've passed away, and he would take up the white cloak in her memory.

Yes, GRRM I am available for hire.

TheLethalCarrot

Oh quick let me email him so he knows!

We can't have such an amazing opportunity for him go to waste

Edlothiad

TROOOOOOOOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLL

TBF you could still have the tragedy of Summerhall, just with Dunk and Rohanne, instead of the grimey Gerold

TheLethalCarrot

1:52 PM

Ed do you know of any coughsourcescough, cough for the audiobooks for iPhone?

Aegon

@Edlothiad Pitch this idea to D&D. They might make a few alterations here and there to make room for rape, unwarranted gore and nonsense murders but other than getting a rapist sadistic dunk who ends up murdering Rohanne, the story will be more or less the same

Stupid D&D

Jarko Dubbeldam

> "Tell me, Jon, if the day should ever come when your lord father must needs choose between honor on the one hand and those he loves on the other, what would he do?"

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot I can have a look when I get home

TheLethalCarrot

@Aegon That should be our room motto hha

Edlothiad

@Aegon I didn't understand any of what this was supposed to mean

WHY DO WE STILL HAVE 'GENERAL DISCUSSION OF "GAME OF THRONES", INCLUDING ALL SPOILERS' IN OUR DESCRIPTION IF ALL WE DO IS CHAT SHIT ABOUT IT?!

TheLethalCarrot

1:56 PM

@Edlothiad Thanks the stuff I found was expensive

Aegon

"Let's change everything GRRM wrote, Dan"

"Good thinking David"

*15 minutes later*

"What should we do with Shireen, David?"

"Let's keep her fate the same just because f*** the book fans amirite?"

Edlothiad

Hmm which audiobooks you want TLC?

Aegon

@Edlothiad The idea of your story + D&D = Rapist Dunk who murders Rohanne. No? kbyethx

TheLethalCarrot

Any/all, I wanted the CDs to listen to in my car but I ain't paying £300 so I looked for the audios for my phone and that's still into the 100's

Edlothiad

@Aegon The show has less gratuitous sex in it then the books, no?

Jarko Dubbeldam

1:58 PM

@Edlothiad spoiler: it's shit

there you go

Aegon

@Edlothiad Well technically, talking crap about is something which one might call general discussion.

Edlothiad

Our discussion is not general. It's very specific discussion about GoT

Aegon

@Edlothiad Huh? Nooo

Edlothiad

Our discussion on ASOIAF is general

@Aegon Umm... Yes?

TheLethalCarrot

@Aegon adaption-comparison time

Aegon

1:59 PM

@Edlothiad Give one example

Jarko Dubbeldam

@Edlothiad well, the books still have passages like this:

> As father of the realm, Joffrey took the place of Lord Eddard Stark. Sansa stood stiff as a lance as his hands came over her shoulders to fumble with the clasp of her cloak. One of them brushed her breast and lingered to give it a little squeeze.

Aegon

I'll give you one from the show. Joffrey and those prostitutes.

Edlothiad

I don't remember where I'd seen it, but I'm pretty sure I'd read several things where people were like "if you think the show is bad read the books

Aegon

@Edlothiad Do any of those people link youtube videos to support their arguments?

Edlothiad

telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/game-of-thrones/11632939/…

Here's une

Jarko Dubbeldam

2:01 PM

there is a lot of sex in the books

Aegon

Telegraph, blegh

@JarkoDubbeldam There is but it lacks the show's fixation on rape

Edlothiad

I said gratuitous sex. you said rape.

cracked.com/…

3 here, although warning, the site has a LOT of ads

TheLethalCarrot

To be fair most arguments can be made both ways

Aegon

"It's strongly implied that one of the girls, a slave with, disturbingly, "ridges of scar tissue" on her back, does not want to have sex"

The girl was a prostitute. And her aversion, the way I saw it, was because of Tyrion's outlook. And of course, she's a slave so she doesn't get a say in it anyways

The writer clearly doesn't know the works she is writing about and relies on a tmblr user

TheLethalCarrot

Ew tumblr

Aegon

2:05 PM

"When this tendency of Martin’s to take far more of an interest in the rapists than the victims is taken into consideration, it puts the recent events of the television series in a more favourable light."

Okay lady, there's the door

He uses fricking POV narrative and POV characters are rarely "Random slave girl on the far side of the world"

@Edlothiad No worries, Adblocker in place

Edlothiad

I personally thought the TV show was a lot tamer than the books, especially in the last couple of seasons

Also feast your eyes on this dank may-may

Aegon

Already removed?

Well at least the second link makes some valid arguments for their case

That writer at least bothered to read

TheLethalCarrot

Well what nudity/sex did we get in S7? Missandei with No Worm and Dany with Jon, that was it right?

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Don't really recall but I think so yeah

Edlothiad

Damn I hyped it up and now I can't find a working version. ARGH

I'm on it like a car bonnet

Aegon

2:09 PM

hyped what up?

Oh the meme

TheLethalCarrot

Edlothiad

Damn how did you get that?

That's what I wanted to post

TheLethalCarrot

Reverse searched the image

Jarko Dubbeldam

then why did you remove it?

Edlothiad

Because it didn't onebox

TheLethalCarrot

2:11 PM

I clicked the link before you removed it

Edlothiad

My revers image search gave me something about women or something

Jarko Dubbeldam

in The Awkward Silence, 24 hours ago, by Mithrandir

Protip: to onebox any image, even if the link doesn't end in .filetype, add a ! before the link.

Edlothiad

I thought "no no no"

Well that works, but we don't need it twice

TheLethalCarrot

Nice tip

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot MY STARS!

TheLethalCarrot

2:13 PM

Mwuhuhaha!

Jarko Dubbeldam

@Edlothiad hehe, that reaction was the only reason I starred it

Edlothiad

Time to preform Seppuku

You know today is a good day when you reach into the haribo bag to pull out one gummy but you get two!!!

All that effort last night to get on the starboard, now I'm back at the bottom...

TheLethalCarrot

2 for 1 like it

haha

Edlothiad

Yeah I was walking over debating whether I could walk over again in 10 minutes, don't have to I got two!

TheLethalCarrot

You walk over to a place with haribo and only get one? That's weird

Edlothiad

2:27 PM

I don't want to feel like I'm taking too many y'know

They're like long french fry shaped ones as well

TheLethalCarrot

These?

Edlothiad

HELL YA!

They're literally called "Sour french fries""

Love it.

TheLethalCarrot

I worked that out haha

Edlothiad

I had french fries for lunch and sour french fries for desert. Today is a good day

TheLethalCarrot

Sounds good

Edlothiad

2:31 PM

@TheLethalCarrot Oh I was saying for my own enjoyment

I had the option of some fries and veg, or a boatload of fries.

I think I made the right choice

TheLethalCarrot

Though I'm British and calling chips French fries is making my eye twitch

Sure did

Edlothiad

I already called them chips once today

Twice in one day is too often

Also Chips are chunkier. These were like skinny

TheLethalCarrot

They're all chips to me

amflare

@TheLethalCarrot What then do you call real chips?

the thin crunchy type, I mean

TheLethalCarrot

Crisps

Edlothiad

2:46 PM

Ye they're crisps, that's just not a question.

@amflare Otherwise what do you call these things?

amflare

poker chips?

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah to be fair I don't think I've heard them called just chips before, always poker chips

Though Ed's first comment is true :P

Edlothiad

@amflare Nah they're poker crisps...

amflare

lol wut

Jarko Dubbeldam

L

Edlothiad

2:49 PM

Me at work right now

At least I thought my poker crisps joke was hilarious

amflare

you crazy man

(it was kinda funny though)

Jarko Dubbeldam

@Edlothiad well, you got a star for it, I guess that counts for something

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

Edlothiad

I was here trying not to cry from laughter, but I see, you guys are playing hard to get.

I like how TLC thought I was calling them just chips paha!

TheLethalCarrot

Gotta take it literal sometimes :)
