The Quill and Tankard

I think Jon's main reason, at least show, is for Sam to learn about dead. Jon was reluctant to let Sam go until he mentioned about learning about the dead. When it was just I want to become a Maester Jon didn't want to

Jarko Dubbeldam

hmm, in the books it was the other way around iirc. Jon sending him off

Edlothiad

@JarkoDubbeldam c'est vrai

350 rep and I have yet to post anything this year... This is easy

TheLethalCarrot

TLJ?

Edlothiad

I guess so

@TheLethalCarrot is this a self-answer?

TheLethalCarrot

10:18 AM

Maybe I've sort of found something but it's not explicit so I'm still looking

Edlothiad

Ergh, it's a dupe: scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/17067/…

TheLethalCarrot

Mmmhm maybe

Edlothiad

What was the quote you found. Because I've just found an indirect confirmation in a SSM

TheLethalCarrot

Though that one only has speculative sources, might add an answer there instead if you think it is a dupe

Mine is indirect too

9- It's not really a question, but I've noticed a great similarity between ASOS and Lord of the Rings - the two Sams, Samwell Tarly and Samwise Gamgee. In particular, in each series, a Sam made a desperate attack on a hopelessly superior force (an Other and the huge spider Shelob) to protect a defenseless companion (Gilly and her baby and the bound Frodo). Would you care to comment?

There are a number of homages to LOTR in my book. I am a huge Tolkien fan.

Edlothiad

Ye, that one

Have you begun writing A Dance with Dragons? And if yes, when will it be coming out?

The next book will be out in fall, 2002.

LOL

TheLethalCarrot

10:22 AM

Hahaha

It's not explicit though so i am still looking

Edlothiad

3 years off.

@TheLethalCarrot Either way they're dupes as they'd have to be answered in the other one.

So, do you want me to VTC or are you going to Delete it?

TheLethalCarrot

I'll delete and answer on the other

Edlothiad

(y)

I could've used that rep though ;P

Takes you one closer to gold anyways

TheLethalCarrot

Yup

I need to beet Egg :P

Jan 4 at 13:36, by Aegon

I think I will cry if that happens

Edlothiad

You need a beet egg?

TheLethalCarrot

10:29 AM

Hahaha

You back home now then ED or you still skiing?

Also is the help link been placed on the top bar for everyone now/

Edlothiad

10:58 AM

The difference is 24!

@TheLethalCarrot back home, just look at the review page!

@TheLethalCarrot ye just saw that 10/10

Replaced the winterbash trash

TheLethalCarrot

Hahaha been busy then

Edlothiad

Well I got a few over the holidays but I had a nice leave from SE, which I may continue through the year, and enjoyed my time in the real world

Jarko Dubbeldam

@TheLethalCarrot Good, I found that one too hard to find in the new layout

Edlothiad

I realised how much time I wasted 0.0, I’ve also been tracking my hourly activities

TheLethalCarrot

@JarkoDubbeldam Oh yeah it was awkward when the new bar was first announced on SO I was the first to complain about it and now it's gone through live on all sites and lots of others have complained it's finally been changed

@Edlothiad Yeah it is good to spend time away, it's part of the reason I'm only really active during work hours

Edlothiad

11:15 AM

I want to be able to just check in from time to time but otherwise not be looking, otherwise I just end up spending all my time wasted

TheLethalCarrot

Aye, I only really look for new GoT questions to answer and spend time in this room

Edlothiad

I just trawl everything doing everything trying to find things to do, rather than seeing that it's dead, being like "cool I'll be productive" then coming back

TheLethalCarrot

Haha fair enough

Edlothiad

What is the etiology of Greyscale? (What is its cause?)

TheLethalCarrot

?

Edlothiad

11:26 AM

What is the *insert big word here* of x? (In case you don't have the same extreme intelligence as I do, or google-fu, it means 'what is its y?')

TheLethalCarrot

Oh right

Edlothiad

It was a long-winded joke that took me a while to type out

TheLethalCarrot

I'm smart but others might not be so I'll add this dumb question in too

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot /r/Iamverysmart

TheLethalCarrot

Haha

Edlothiad

11:27 AM

Have you been on that subreddit? Golden.

TheLethalCarrot

No might have a look in a bit though

Edlothiad

> they get salmon, sweet potato, quinoa, green bean/peas, and a multi vitamin.

This guy feeds his dogs healthier than I feed myself...

TheLethalCarrot

A lot healthier than I feed me too haha

@Edlothiad Actually did you look at the edit history? it wasn't the OP that added dumb title

It went from "What are the ways one can contract Greyscale?" to "What is the etiology ofGreyscale?" and then someone else added the other bit on

Though they still added the IAmSmart word to look smart by the looks of it

Edlothiad

11:53 AM

@TheLethalCarrot "aetiology"

He spelt it wrong... LOL

TheLethalCarrot

Haha

Q: Is there any way to see all my answers quoted by some other users?

Recently I saw an answer from another user where they had quoted one of my answers within theirs. It felt nice. So that had me wondering, is there any way to see all my answers that are quoted elsewhere by some other users? I know I can go through all my answers and see the linked posts which...

"I want an ego boost, how can I get one"

That's.... hard

Hahaha

hard or harsh?

Harsh comment by you and the information is hard to find :P

Jarko Dubbeldam

@TheLethalCarrot mostly the latter

TheLethalCarrot

12:29 PM

Just answered a [ASOIF] question only, what an idiot :P

@JarkoDubbeldam I know, I added the former :)

Jarko Dubbeldam

I guess if I knew how regex and pattern matching worked in sql it'd be doable

but very heavy

TheLethalCarrot

It'd probably timeout that way

Jarko Dubbeldam

that's what I'd think

TheLethalCarrot

You'd have to hope people had added the source and search answers for the answer link

Jarko Dubbeldam

hmm

TheLethalCarrot

12:31 PM

Then account for user ids at the end of the link

Jarko Dubbeldam

or test for a specific post

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot Or not having user ids.

Jarko Dubbeldam

so only look for quotes from one post

Edlothiad

If you got a list of all linked posts, matched them against a list of all your posts you'd get them all.

TheLethalCarrot

And then look for question links only (accounting for user ids) and look for people mentioning the user name

Then account for name changes

Jarko Dubbeldam

12:32 PM

ugh

sounds like a pain

TheLethalCarrot

To find them all is just too much of a headache

Jarko Dubbeldam

plus

something like

> and

Edlothiad

I mean if you could hypothetically get the the link of every linked answer in a list

Jarko Dubbeldam

would likely match every single post

Edlothiad

and then you just see if any of your posts are in that link

Jarko Dubbeldam

12:33 PM

hmm

Edlothiad

like /a/9337, look if 9337 is in the link if yes it's been linked

Jarko Dubbeldam

and then hope everyone linked everything

Edlothiad

Well they don't have to have linked everything

I mean it doesn't count as a reference to your answer if it's not got a link, right?

Aegon said there's 18 dragons so there is.

TheLethalCarrot

Well yeah you could essentially
1. Get all answers with links to other SFF Q or A
2. Rule out those that you have posted
3. Check all those Q/A's if you have an answer there
4 (optional). Rule out those that are direct links to answers that aren't yours

If you want it faster you'd do the general one which will give false positives

Or you'd have to filter down further

Jarko Dubbeldam

Do internal SE links get sanitised when they're posted?

Edlothiad

12:36 PM

sanitised?

Jarko Dubbeldam

Because iirc there are multiple ways to link to a post

with question id in the link, without

TheLethalCarrot

3 ways really, share question (includes user id), share answer (includes answer id and user id) and share link to question

The link to the question may or may not have the title in it

Jarko Dubbeldam

hmm

and only the second one of those is of interest I assume?

oh no nevermind

not if you want to include quotes from questions

ugh

TheLethalCarrot

Or people quoting an answer but linking the question

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot People that do that are stupid.

TheLethalCarrot

12:40 PM

People are stupid

Jarko Dubbeldam

oh actually not,

question was only about linked answers

so that's only one url format to worry about

TheLethalCarrot

Only one formal format to worry about at least

Jarko Dubbeldam

ok, but let's not worry about false negatives for a moment

it becomes slightly more difficult when there are multiple quotes in the same post though

TheLethalCarrot

In the formal and happy path you'd look for all answers/questions that contain (question url/answer id/user id) strip the user id and then check if that answer is one of the OPs

Though I suppose you don't really need to strip the user id

Jarko Dubbeldam

yep

hmmm, which exact language does SEDE use?

MySQL?

Edlothiad

12:53 PM

SEQL

Jarko Dubbeldam

t-sql from the looks of it

which doesn't have regex, only the like operator

q.q

Edlothiad

Not StackExchange QL?

Jarko Dubbeldam

hmm, my replace doesn't want to cooperate :/

TheLethalCarrot

1:12 PM

Could you search in the reverse look for all OP's answers and then do a search for answers containing the link?

Jarko Dubbeldam

hmm

possible

But what surprises me is that there are only like 2k posts that match the url

where Body like '%scifi.stackexchange.com/a/%'

returns like 1900 results

but the difficult step is getting the Id from the url

especially since it is not fixed length

TheLethalCarrot

Exactly you can get post id from SEDE directly so where post.userid = userid select post.id' then where post.text contains '%scifi.stackexchange/a/post.id%`?

Something like that anyway

Jarko Dubbeldam

hmm

so that's the other way around

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah

Jarko Dubbeldam

let's see

Edlothiad

1:23 PM

Just got a call from HR where she was speaking french and I had no idea what she was saying then it took about 2 minutes till they started speaking English

TheLethalCarrot

That's fun then

Edlothiad

Whew. You'd think they'd have a note somewhere saying "dumbo only speaks English"

TheLethalCarrot

You would assume so haha

Jarko Dubbeldam

data.stackexchange.com/scifi/query/779677

doesn't seem to be really fast

yep

timeout

hmm

running it on specific posts is decently fast

10 seconds

but I've yet to find a post that actually returns a result

TheLethalCarrot

Egg will have to do it himself then :P

Jarko Dubbeldam

1:38 PM

oooh

found one

scifi.stackexchange.com/a/164152/

quotes scifi.stackexchange.com/a/128221

@TheLethalCarrot data.stackexchange.com/scifi/query/779712/…

much better now

TheLethalCarrot

Ah nice

TheLethalCarrot

2:06 PM

@JarkoDubbeldam I came up with this so far but it times out

with Answers as (
  select t.Id as Id
  from Posts t
  where t.OwnerUserId = ##UserId##
)

select p.Id
from Posts p
inner join Answers a on p.Body like concat('%scifi.stackexchange.com/a', a.Id, '%')
where P.OwnerUserId != ##UserId## and P.PostTypeId = 2

Jarko Dubbeldam

You want to filter on if there is any reference before joining

else it is way too many comparisons in the like statement

data.stackexchange.com/scifi/query/779732/…

seems to work

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah I know that's why it's slow

Jarko Dubbeldam

Does all posts by the users, and checks if they selfquoted or not

TheLethalCarrot

I'm just not the best with sql

Jarko Dubbeldam

me neither

especially not with t-sql

TheLethalCarrot

2:12 PM

Egg's posted to mother meta if you want to leave an answer there with your efforts so far

was writing up

woops

initially posted it on the scifi meta question

gotta have that rep

TheLethalCarrot

You can leave it on both haha

Jarko Dubbeldam

substring(Q.Body, patindex('%scifi.stackexchange.com/a/%', Q.Body) + 26, 7) as Quote,

this is so ugly

im proud of it

TheLethalCarrot

What's it doing exactly? Extracting scifi.stackexchange.com/a/userid?

Jarko Dubbeldam

it's extracting the 7 characters after scifi.stackexchange.com/a/

ie the postid

TheLethalCarrot

2:18 PM

Ahhh okay, what if it isn't 7 in length though?

I'm not sure it has to be 7

Jarko Dubbeldam

that's the problem ye

but the id is at max 6

on scifi at least

+ / makes 7

TheLethalCarrot

Ahh okay

Jarko Dubbeldam

which then nicely matches cast(P.Id as varchar) + '/%'

so ugly, I love it

TheLethalCarrot

Haha

Aegon

@Edlothiad Heh that's an accurate summary. :D

TheLethalCarrot

2:24 PM

Hey Egg

Aegon

Hey TLC

TheLethalCarrot

Nice answer you linked to :P

Edlothiad

Jesus, far too much wholesomeness for one day

I think I'm going to cry at work.

Aegon

Weird, I did not get the SFF meta answer notification.

So @TheLethalCarrot Has quoted me the most times. Thanks bud!

Jarko Dubbeldam

hmm, too bad SEDE has pretty limited regex options :/

TheLethalCarrot

2:37 PM

@Aegon No worries, doing my part :P

Q: Why did the show appear to swap Casterly Rock and Highgarden?

I've recently got a copy of The World of Ice and Fire and although I haven't had the time to read it yet I have had a quick flick through. One thing I've noticed that seems odd is that the castles of Casterly Rock and Highgarden seem to have been swapped for the show. The following are the castle...

game-of-thrones a-song-of-ice-and-fire adaptation-comparison

As you can see the shows Casterly Rock looks very similar to the books Highgarden but just on the edge of a cliff instead of in a garden area. Whereas the shows Highgarden looks like a much more scaled down version of the books Casterly Rock.

How? Idk Casterly Rock is on the coast

High Garden is amidst greenery and has a running river nearby which can be called Mander (Although it is no where near as big)

Of course they couldn't get a proper Casterly Rock, nothing like that exists in our world

It's a Rock primarily after all

Am I missing something here? Because it doesn't look like they swapped anything, to me

Jarko Dubbeldam

so would Casterly Rock be easy or hard to lay siege on? I guess the rockyness makes sorties hard to pull off

TheLethalCarrot

The actual castles not the locations

Also George has said Casterly Rock was inspired from Gibralter rock

Aegon

@JarkoDubbeldam Impossible really, Visenya Targaryen thanked the gods when she saw the Rock that Lannisters fought in the field instead of closing their gates

You could starve the defenders though but you would need to lay the siege both from sea and land

TheLethalCarrot

@Aegon And then hope that the mines don't go under your feet and exit on the other side of you haha

Though in that question I mainly meant Highgarden, just compare the castles

And the show Highgarden does look like a very very scaled down Rock

Aegon

2:49 PM

@TheLethalCarrot Could you elaborate on that? I spent the whole day arguing with other devs

Jarko Dubbeldam

@Aegon hmm, then why did they?

Aegon

@JarkoDubbeldam Cus they thought, together the Northmen, Reachmen and Westermen could finish the Targaryens even with their dragons

TheLethalCarrot

@Aegon Well just look at the shows Casterly Rock and the books Highgarden. To me the castles look almost idesntical

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Ohhhh you mean the basic round shape of the outer wall and the towers, got it

TheLethalCarrot

The turrets, it's layers, the main keep, it's white

Just looking at the two they look the same

Jarko Dubbeldam

2:51 PM

And who are you, the proud lord said, that I should bow so low, only a mount of a different (?) size (?), that's all the truth I know.

Aegon

@JarkoDubbeldam They were on their way to meet their allies. Reachmen made it, Lazy Northmen were late as per fricking usual. Gardener King died with his whole family, Loren Lannister legged it, Stark came late and bent the knee

@TheLethalCarrot Yup, I see your point now

TheLethalCarrot

I know the Rock is next to impossible to do without CGI but Highgarden (show) does look like a small rock with a castle on top and closer to what I imagined the rock to look like than what they actually went for haha

It was just one of those things that when I saw it I couldn't unsee it and it made me go "Eh? What were they thinking?"

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot I think that happened every other minute while watching the last season.

TheLethalCarrot

Oh of course but most of them can be explained by money/time

This looks like a swap which makes no sense

Aegon

Or the lack of concern for maintaining high standards established in earlier seasons

Jarko Dubbeldam

2:55 PM

@Aegon :/

amflare

I just get back from vacation, and my boss is like, "you know that project you have been working on since september? Yeah, it urgent priority now, we need it to get done asap."

On the bright side, I might get to have someone helping out now

Edlothiad

I'm glad my boss didn't say that to me, I haven't done anything today

TheLethalCarrot

Welcome back amf, have a good one?

I've seen various answers on the site that seem to suggest Will escaped the White Walker's because he ran. However, when you watch the prologue back Will falls to his knees and accepts his fate when the WW is right next to him and has just chucked Gareds head to him.

It seems like the WW actually did spare Will, anyone else think he was spared or do you think he ran away?

(show obviously)

Skooba

3:11 PM

in show it seems he was spared, yes

which plays nicely into the War for the dawn ended in some kind of truce that has now been broken

TheLethalCarrot

Though does it? Cos they killed the other 2

Skooba

cause dead men tell no tales

need 1 alive to pass the story

its a warning

TheLethalCarrot

mmmhm suppose

Jarko Dubbeldam

@Skooba what's the point of warning though? Did the wws have anything to gain from that, versus a surprise attack. Sure, they might have ended up with a dragon eventually, but I doubt they foreseen that

Aegon

@JarkoDubbeldam Oh don't mind me.I just love complaining

Jarko Dubbeldam

3:16 PM

@Aegon nah, I was sharing your disappointment

I've been rereading and rewatching, and the earlier seasons are pretty close to the book.

TheLethalCarrot

In the main details yes

They changed a lot of small details

Like Gared and Will and added the archery scene in etc and that's all the first 10 mins

The whole finding direwolf thing is different too

Jarko Dubbeldam

@TheLethalCarrot was it?

don't remember tbh

TheLethalCarrot

Sort of yes

Different people doing/saying different things

e.g. Books Jon finds Ghost and says he's his, show Theon finds him and mocks Jon

Or the other way around can't remember exactly

Aegon

Me on books

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

Aegon

3:19 PM

Me on show

Jarko Dubbeldam

shouldn't that be "I want GoT"?

Aegon

Oh gods no

I don't GoT as it is now anymore than I want the grey plague

Jarko Dubbeldam

maybe I misunderstand, but isn't deeper, better and superior referring to the books

and sansa being whiny and such still preferring the show?

Aegon

Yup, that's for when someone suggests that X book is better than ASOIAF

Jarko Dubbeldam

seems to me that otherwise the I don't want doesnt make sense

TheLethalCarrot

3:21 PM

They're taking longer with season 8 so that either means it'll be better for book readers OR they're going to go all in on the special effects and ignore plot completely

I think I know where they are going to go

Jarko Dubbeldam

well, there is no way to know until the next book(s) are released

Skooba

@JarkoDubbeldam well the dragon by that point is just escalation because the warning was not headed.

Jarko Dubbeldam

maybe we'll have jon snow flying in with a jet fighter and it turns out it actually is like that in the books

mayhaps

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Jon takes one dragon, Dany takes the other, they fry NK to the crisp and make beautiful inbred babies, Cersei die, Jaime and Brienne get together

Can't predict Sansa's future.

THE END

TheLethalCarrot

@Skooba You're not of the White Walkers are greenseers group are you?

Skooba

3:23 PM

@Aegon No, Tormund deserves Brienne!!!

Jarko Dubbeldam

@Skooba then jaime gets sansa

TheLethalCarrot

TQaT are Team Tormund all the way!

:P

Aegon

@Skooba He can have Jorah Mormont. Closest thing to a bear

TheLethalCarrot

Is he though? haha

Skooba

@TheLethalCarrot Well, showverse does imply it... at least NK is... head interacted with Bran in a green-dream

Aegon

3:24 PM

Tyrion gets Sansa

Sansa suddenly realizes she just wuvz Tyrion.

Skooba

@JarkoDubbeldam Jaime kills Cersei but is also killed in the attempt

Aegon

And they make meh okay children

Skooba

I'm shipping Arya and Gendry too

Jarko Dubbeldam

@Skooba I was gonna say Arya and Big Walder, but are the walders even in the show?

TheLethalCarrot

@Skooba mmhm suppose I hope not though

@Skooba As long as you don't ship Jonsa we're all good

Aegon

3:27 PM

@Skooba You are a cruel man Jack Sparrow

Skooba

@JarkoDubbeldam I highly doubt it

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Are there people who actually do that?

Skooba

@TheLethalCarrot Jon and Sansa? thatd be terrible

TheLethalCarrot

I'm not sure if there are any that take it seriously but it's definitely a theory

Aegon

I am putting it right next to Aurane Waters is a Aerys II's bastard

Skooba

3:28 PM

@Aegon I don't see any lasting use for Jaime once he fulfills the Valonqar theory

Aegon

@Skooba I stand corrected, you are a very cruel man Jack Sparrow, to dash my hopes like this

Skooba

Also will there be an urgent dispatch from Mereen that Dany has to weigh options against. cause o have her spend all hat time there and just drop it like a hot potato.... although this is the show.....

Aegon

Remember the days where unanswered tab had a number of questions? Before TLC arrived? Now there are only two. And one is his

TheLethalCarrot

It's show and Essos isn't important anymore

Skooba

@Aegon well he does have give himself a nice whitebook entry first

TheLethalCarrot

3:30 PM

@Aegon Lol, like I said I do my best :)

Skooba

@Aegon i only ever remember like 2

maybe not the same two

Aegon

@Skooba Really? Idk I seem to remember there used to be 6+

Edlothiad

@JarkoDubbeldam NO! NONONONONO

TheLethalCarrot

This question is still unanswered but I have an unscored answer on it

(Shameless answer plug)

Though it's not the best answer it's all I could find

Aegon

@Edlothiad Are you Team Tyrion then?

TheLethalCarrot

3:32 PM

I'm Team I Hope Sansa Dies

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Well that's cause there really isn't any answer other than We do not know

@TheLethalCarrot Harsh, why tho?

TheLethalCarrot

Oh I know

@Aegon Don't like the whiny character (from show perspective, haven't got far enough in the books yet)

Edlothiad

@Aegon i’m team Ed!

TheLethalCarrot

Lol, who would have guessed that

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot She no longer whines in the show tho, does she?

Skooba

3:34 PM

@TheLethalCarrot that line that jumps out at me is "The weight of him tore the strange pale sword from the Other's grip."

Aegon

@Edlothiad Edd Tollett, what a guy!

Skooba

i dont know wy tho

TheLethalCarrot

@Aegon Sort of, still mopey and moans a lot. And is extremely naive

I just don't like her

Skooba

@TheLethalCarrot oh boy.... so many NSFW directions i could take that

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

If LF had his way, which Sansa fell for, we'd have had that

The whole Sansa S7 arc makes no sense either. She trusts LF completely and goes against Arya and then Bran says "You're an idiot Arya is right and LF is not"

Skooba

3:36 PM

@TheLethalCarrot she is responsible for a lot of bad stuff happening. If she doesn't go to Cersei maybe Ned and the girls get out of the city....

Edlothiad

@Aegon If not Ed of House Lothiad then the Dolorous will have to do...

Skooba

@TheLethalCarrot and that like 1 episode after she says "only a fool would trust little finger"

TheLethalCarrot

Exactly she's Naive and trusts everyone she shouldn't and has no trust in those she should do

Skooba

the show makes it seem like she was to realize it on her by playing the motives game.... but they admitted they had a cut scene with her going to bran

Edlothiad

She played LF and the audience. She’s a mastermind, and the greatest character ever written.

TheLethalCarrot

3:38 PM

Lol that's a lie and you know it

Bran told her otherwise she would have trusted LF above Arya

Edlothiad

Well in ASOIAF, because Rohanne Webber is the greatest character ever written

Skooba

@Edlothiad yeah in her bra

Edlothiad

And that as well only in Planetos because Frodo is Bae!

TheLethalCarrot

He ain't a red head though is he? :P

Also Frodo in the films is such a mopey git too

Edlothiad

Nah Frodo’s got gorgeous brown locks #FrodoWoreThemBetter

TheLethalCarrot

3:39 PM

Lol

Edlothiad

I don’t know if there are redheads in TL

There was Mahtan but i’m Pretty sure he was one of a kind

TheLethalCarrot

Is Gimli?

Edlothiad

Pfft dunno

Maybe, I don’t know how often hair is described when not for Hobbits or Elves

TheLethalCarrot

Boromir is or is just a light brown

Though I'm going via films here

Edlothiad

7:09 PM

hmmm

do we actually know that dragonglass doesn't affect wights? I see (and have used) the Mellisandre quote about "fie and steel will serve" but this is after Sam says the dragonglass didn't work.... however, did Sam actually ever touch dragonglass to a wight?

When he encounters Small Paul the blade hits the mail armor... not the skin... "Shards of dragonglass flew everywhere as the blade shattered on the iron mail beneath the wool."

TheLethalCarrot

Dragonglass does affect wights showverse
