The Quill and Tankard

Before writing A Song of Ice and Fire George R. R. Martin had written a series of science fiction stories that ended up all taking place in the same universe later titled The Thousand Worlds. Do the A Song of Ice and Fire stories take place in the same universe? Has George ever commented on this...

Did you forget the self answer checkbox exists, also questionable use of the grrm tag.

TheLethalCarrot

I was 50/50 about including it

And no

I was just finishing off writing the answer up when I posted

Edlothiad

Ah

TheLethalCarrot

I was also in two minds about letting someone else answer it but I thought "Nah screw 'em! It's mine! IT'S ALL MINE!"

Edlothiad

TheLethalCarrot

lol

Edlothiad

19 upvotes to go today to counteract my downvote.

Oh to cap?

TheLethalCarrot

Edlothiad

1:57 PM

100 rep caps

took 5 months for the second 50, that's so long...

TheLethalCarrot

Oh I get what you mean now

Edlothiad

It's one of those statements where if you're not the person saying it, gg

TheLethalCarrot

Aye

2:33 PM

@Edlothiad I'm only at 27 :(

Could you ghostwrite on my account for a few weeks?

TheLethalCarrot

I'm on 38 :)

lol

Edlothiad

Y'all suck paha!

amflare

I'll give you 5 bucks and a coupon

TheLethalCarrot

Boooo Ed

amflare

Also Ed

@Skooba @Möoz @amflare y’all are allowed to talk while the Euros are asleep y’know?

Thats the part of our day that is productive

Waste away the morning

frantically make up time in the afternoon

Edlothiad

I waste away all day waiting for people

TheLethalCarrot

2:37 PM

Do Skooba and Mooz even come into chat anymore?

JAD

rarely

I saw skooba talk a bit a few days ago

TheLethalCarrot

Well Skooba comes in when you summon him usually :P

Edlothiad

@Mooz is in the worst possible timezone ever. Where giant ants steal your babies, and they have spiders taller than people

amflare

draws circle with JAD's blood on the ground

badly sketches SFF logo inside

chants Skooba's name

Edlothiad

Them Marvel answers are so long...

TheLethalCarrot

2:41 PM

Yup, did you double check that the Cap shield break wasn't one of the ret-cons?

Edlothiad

They're all retcons

TheLethalCarrot

I thought there were a few cases where it wasn't yet

Edlothiad

They break the shield then go:

And it's back

Retcons, timeline resets etc, all the same

TheLethalCarrot

Fair enough

Edlothiad

The shield can still be broken, it just is no longer broked because the timeline has been reset

JAD

2:44 PM

@amflare :(

TheLethalCarrot

I don't really know enough about all the marvel crap

Edlothiad

"Oh did we kill someone? REEEEEEWIIIIIIIIND" and they're back

Neither do I, I just google like mad, open 150 webpages and become an expert in that one topic

TheLethalCarrot

Hahaha

That's sorta what I did with that guardians A earlier but I knew some of it cos I love the guardians films

Edlothiad

The only one I enjoyed doing was Deadpool betty white (or whichever golden girl it was)

TheLethalCarrot

Well deadpool is great too

Bea Arthur

Edlothiad

2:48 PM

I love deadpool, and HQ, but she's DC

This question: scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/172484/…

I looked through every comic featuring Captain Marvel from the age, no bueno :(

TheLethalCarrot

Oh yeah HQ is great too

So I tried a Google search. Big mistake. There exist a completely different assortment of Marvel vibrators apparently.

LOL

JAD

@Edlothiad Every few weeks having this question be at the top of unanswered bugs me enough to look for it, but also to no avail.

The image is in the dot print style of newspaper cartoon (like popeye) circa.... 1930-1950?

Edlothiad

Ye it bothers be buns

I looked at #1 of each vol and determined the artwork from there and looked at all the ones with vaguely similar artwork

TheLethalCarrot

You've got me hooked into finding it now haha

Edlothiad

3:34 PM

You can’t, i’m convinced it’s fan made

TheLethalCarrot

Even if it's fan made surely there's still a source somewhere

amflare

@Edlothiad I agree

TheLethalCarrot

4:09 PM

I guess someone doesn't like self answers

DV on Q and A

Aegon

That's a well known fact on SE

People don't like self-answers

TheLethalCarrot

I know

I just like bitching about it every now and then :P

Aegon

Self-answers posted after a fair period of time are however better received

Kepotx

@Edlothiad therobotspajamas.com/out-of-context-comics-volume-9

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah, the best I've seen is wait for someone else to post an answer first

Kepotx

4:14 PM

seems like it's not the only comic panel that is uterly strange out of context

TheLethalCarrot

@Kepotx There' quite a lot of articles like that

Kepotx

never seen it before. im not a big fan of comics

I prefer franco-belge BD. Asterix > captain marvel

TheLethalCarrot

I'm 50/50 on them but I saw lots of those pages like you linked when I searched for a source when Ed linked the Q haha

amflare

@TheLethalCarrot We need to set up a racket where if we have a a self Q/A then we get someone else in here to post the question.

I can be like "are the trees in GoT faithful to the books?"

Then you can post your thoughtful and well written answer

without fear of DV for writting both Q and A

Aegon

Including pictures of all the known trees + videos from youtube

TheLethalCarrot

4:21 PM

@amflare I'm already halfway there!

amflare

You are a carrot, not a tree

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

Though I think coordinating Q/A's like that is against the rules... I dunno

amflare

@edl is it? ^^

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot -1, not enough pictures and videos.

TheLethalCarrot

(Love the IT Crowd)

Aegon

4:23 PM

If that's a reference to something, I don't get it.

Kepotx

one of the best british tv series

the character name is moss

amflare

As someone who actually works in tech, is this something I'd find funny or painfully real?

Aegon

Ah

TheLethalCarrot

It's good cos Moss is displeased with your DV and his name is Moss :P

@amflare It's pretty good, quite British humour at times though

amflare

I prefer british humor, so I may check it out

Kepotx

4:25 PM

@amflare there are lot of tech-related memes like references to RTFM o other things like that

some friends tell me to watch big bang theory because i'm geeky, but i dont really like it. but the IT crowd...

TheLethalCarrot

BBT isn't too bad but they've moved away from what it started out as

Kepotx

4:40 PM

just realize one thing about tv-show

they seems to say that obsidian can only be mined in dragonstone (what a coincdence, that mean that jon will see dany!)

but Skagos TRADE obsidian arroweheads and blade

TheLethalCarrot

It never mentions that Skagos has obsidian naturally though does it?

amflare

Er... dragonstone is not the only deposit of obsidian in the world.

Kepotx

@amflare D&D: "sssh, children of the forest used obsidian, and were spread in all westeros, but dragonston is indeed the only obsidian deposit.It have to be, because... Boatsex!"

@TheLethalCarrot mentionned in TWOIAF : "When they do consent to trade, the Skagosi offer pelts, obsidian blades and arrowheads, and "unicorn horns" for goods they desire."

amflare

@Kepotx ah, right, my bad

TheLethalCarrot

@Kepotx Ahh should have searched with Skagosi too, doesn't necessarily mean they have it naturally though just that they have some i.e. they got it from Dragonstone in the past

Kepotx

4:51 PM

sure, but if they trade it, it probably mean they have a lot, isn't it ? I mean, obsidian is not precious as is, and metal/steel weapons would be better...

TheLethalCarrot

Oh yeah I'm splitting hairs

Kepotx

While I agree that they may not have enough for an entire army, i don't see why they are not asked to give some, as they are supposed to be vassals of the Stark

TheLethalCarrot

Well they're backward, savage folk

I don't even think Skagos is mentioned in the show

I can't remember if it is anyway

Kepotx

probably, like lot of houses, but some comes out of nowhere when they are needed

TheLethalCarrot

They sure do

I've said that to a few people, unless mentioned in the show it doesn't exist in show canon

Anyhoo I'm off see ya!

Catch ya later

Q: Is there a legal age for drinking wine in Westeros?

In Game of Thrones S07 E01 "Dragonstone", there is a scene where Arya Stark meets a group of Lannister soldiers. They talk about King's landing and after some words, one of the soldiers offer Arya Blackberry wine and says Are you old enough to drink? This made me think whether there is a l...
