Q: Why was this question about maester chains closed?

The question Can a maester's chain include multiple links of the same metal?: A maester can be recognized by the chain he wears around his neck. The links of the chain can be made of every metal known to man. Each metal is related to a subject - silver for medicine, iron for warcraft, etc. Ca...

Called it^^ (@TheLethalCarrot)

1 hour later…

8:46 AM

10!

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad Lol you did

9!

er or 10. Idk I think it should be 9 but the count says 190

TheLethalCarrot

10! = 3628800 and 9! = 362880 :)

And so close :D

It could be 9 it's not updated accurately

Yeah takes a while. I guess I'll know for sure in 30 mins or so

TheLethalCarrot

I had it delay about half a day before but most of the time it's pretty instant so I guess it depends on the servers

Turns out you probably don't need me chomping at your heels either haha

TheLethalCarrot

9:12 AM

Hey @Nog

It's up-to-date, there is only 190 answers

@Edlothiad Top left: Septon who saved the hound. 2. The dead 3. The mother in the wildlings who was trapped during the invasion of white walkers. 4. Ed Sheeran 5. Dounno 6. A red priestess whom Tyrion hired to make Daenyrys famous in Meereen.

@TheLethalCarrot Hello! How are you doing?

TheLethalCarrot

@NogShine Lol did you not check my comment with them all in? :P

@Edlothiad Boo

TheLethalCarrot

I'm good aye, you?

9:14 AM

@TheLethalCarrot Umm . No.

Ohh! so he is Arya's friend..

TheLethalCarrot

Ah :) Wildling is Karsi, Septon is Ray, 5 is Mycah and the red priestess is minerva (I know that's not how it's spelt but I can't be bothered to search for it)

@TheLethalCarrot It's actually spelt Jessica, but it's pronounce minerva, bloody red priests/esses

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

@TheLethalCarrot I'm good too.

TheLethalCarrot

Jolly good old chap

9:18 AM

Are there any new questions on show?

I completed 7 seasons. \o/

TheLethalCarrot

Awesome :)

How'd you find S7?

It was interesting especially the E5,7.

Okay 191 now

TheLethalCarrot

@NogShine How'd you find the whole merry men bit? haha

@Aegon I'm sure I've answered that question before...

@TheLethalCarrot O.O

9:24 AM

@TheLethalCarrot Who was the second KG in the show

IMDB is confused

I didn't get that one.

TheLethalCarrot

@Aegon Maybe, just thought I'd already answered the dual wielding one

@NogShine It seems to have thrown a lot of people off

@TheLethalCarrot Yeah but who was the other guy? Whent or Hightower?

TheLethalCarrot

@Aegon Oh errr... there's a question on it somewhere but I think it's Hightower

@TheLethalCarrot I didn't understand which part you are referring. Which part is it?

9:27 AM

@NogShine When the Fellowship of the Wight go North to capture their precious

@Edlothiad Ohh! that one.. that's very curious.

I am waiting what happens to Viserys.

Yes it was dumb

Oh, wait you didn't see E7?

and ashes in the mouth, azhor ahai, Prince promised.

@Edlothiad I saw.

@Aegon the other answer suggests Whent

I want to know what happens in S8.

9:29 AM

Well he destroys the bloody wall!

TheLethalCarrot

@NogShine Lol, don't we all?

I know what happens, I read all the leaks

@TheLethalCarrot Yes , we all do.

That current top star is pure irony, it's commenting on how Sansa has a simple mind yet the English is wrong...

TheLethalCarrot

You can't let that one go can you?

9:31 AM

there, it's not the top star anymore

Is Viserys an ice dragon now?

Viserion

viserys is the golden boy

Alonso Rages At Palmer In Italy | F1 Best Team Radio 2017

@NogShine It's a blue-eyes white dragon now

@JAD Yeah. those gibberish names..

9:32 AM

Found much better link

TheLethalCarrot

@NogShine Apparently Vicerion still breathes fire so doubt it, it is unclear though

@JAD Still applies, although not about Sansa anymore, given TLC has forgotten a comma.

user image

Stupid D&D

TheLethalCarrot

Well we all know I have terrible grammar and spelling

@Aegon Yup

@TheLethalCarrot Jarko literally just spelt Viserion out for you and you still got it wrong, oh TLC...

TheLethalCarrot

9:35 AM

vICErion

@JAD Dragon should have three faces. Now what happens to the third one? Does anyone turn back the Viserion to good one?

@TheLethalCarrot but you read the books.

@TheLethalCarrot ve-eyce-ryan?

TheLethalCarrot

@NogShine S7 is ahead of the books and I haven't haha

That's some wonky pronunciation

@TheLethalCarrot Yeah. I said , they are Gibberish names. It is Valyrian . Isn't it?

9:36 AM

@NogShine Lol, Martin stopped writing after Season 5

hahaha

@NogShine Heads

And the heads are human

@NogShine Three faces, three heads, 9 TOTAL FACES! Space X Dragon, 9 Merlin-1D Engines, Elon Musk is Azor Ahai confirmed.

Aegon, Visenya and Rhaenys were the last three heads

Rhaegar had Aegon, Rhaenys, he wanted a Visenya. He got a Jon however

@Aegon AEJON TARSNOWYEN

9:38 AM

Vhagar, Balerion, Meraxes were not the three heads of the dragon the last time around. Drogon, Viserion, Rhaegel aren't the three heads this time around

JONGON SNOWGARYEN

@Edlothiad STARGARYEN

Gon Jon Silver

@Aegon More like Skrubgaryen

@Aegon Who are the new heads?

Wonder how Rhaegar would have felt had he lived to see Jon

9:40 AM

Daenerys, Jon Snow and ...

"No, delete that. It's not fair. ctrl+z, ctrl+z. I want a Visenya, not this thing with that thing between his legs"

"The Dragon must have three heads, Dragon must have three heads, must have three heads, thread, thread thread"

@NogShine T = T

@NogShine Tyrion, if you ask me

Tyrion the Targaryen

Silly theory that one is...

I'd be pissed if that's true but it seems likely

9:41 AM

@Edlothiad lol yes it is.

It's Sansa, everyone knows that.

@NogShine Not really silly.

Although there is another theory that the Twin's might be Aerys'

Ygritte reborn

I don't really see Jaime as the third head tho

@Edlothiad Melisandre was Ygritte

She was catfishing jon

But I think Tyrion will ride a dragon into Red keep and burn Cersei's everything. That might be ashes in the mouth.

9:42 AM

@Aegon Don't you dare spit such lies!

TheLethalCarrot

@Aegon I don't see Tyrion or Jaime as the third head

@Edlothiad 'Tis true. She even took the shape and voice of Ygritte and said "You know nothing, Jon Snow". The man is thick as lava however

@TheLethalCarrot Who do you think it is?

Sansa, duh. Kissed by fire, dumb. It's perfect

3ER is a tree confirmed:

user image

Tyrion is the third head.

TheLethalCarrot

9:44 AM

Per show, I can't see there even being one but they'll probably rush some revelation in S8 to get one if they need it

@JAD Nice try, I saw that "dumb"

@JAD Even hound is kissed by fire but does it make him the third head? Noooo

@NogShine hmm, actually

A dog riding a dragon

Some say he is the Azor Ahai.

I have the perfect reaction gif.

user image

@TheLethalCarrot Oh btw here's fAegon

TheLethalCarrot

9:46 AM

Yeah exactly

Oh look, Golden Company have arrived

Oh who's that with them? It's fAegon!!!!

fAegon will arrive just in time to save the day and then neatly get killed off next episode

@TheLethalCarrot I really want to make a "Who's that pokemon" meme with fAegon now...

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

@Edlothiad That's literally what the Telltale game was

@TheLethalCarrot just like they did with oberyn. "hey, here is a cool character, lets kill it just after we saw it". Plus, as some events are more later than in the books and out of nowhere like Euron... it wouldn't even surprise me

btw, What's the real age of Melisandre?

TheLethalCarrot

9:52 AM

200-400

Same for Nymeria, no fucking news during 6 seasons and voila, we see it again

@NogShine As per the show, she used to sell ice-cream around the corner when Children of the Forest reigned supreme

As per the books, there is no indication that she might have been around to bring about an end to the Jurassic age.

@Kepotx And there is a pack of wolves with her. How are the other wolves born?

@NogShine They are common wolves, not direwolves

Common wolves who flocked around her in the Riverlands

TheLethalCarrot

@NogShine When a mummy wolf and a daddy wolf love each other very much...

9:54 AM

normal wolves, nymeria is just the leader

Season 8, still waiting for lady stoneheart

In the show, Only Ghost and Nymeria are the living Direwolves? Do they reproduce in future?

@NogShine Targaryen style

Yeah

It keeps them pure. :D

"the future" is not the same in the books, 1: there is lot of changes between books/tv show, 2: tv show is further

TheLethalCarrot

Actually in the show they're the only Direwolves seen south of the Wall

9:56 AM

@Kepotx Further along but not quite on the same road

@TheLethalCarrot In the books as well

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah

@Aegon Taking two routes to the same destination (I believe that's what they love saying)

@Kepotx eh, that was not different in the books

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad Apparently someone doesn't like your explanation for the dupe closure

@Kepotx No what news, I'd kindly remind you to watch your French, this is an English speaking channel

@NogShine There are wolves in general in Westeros, "Direwolves" aren't the only type of wolf.

@TheLethalCarrot I disagreed with a mod, there going to downvote me, I don't care I did nothing wrong.

He knows he'd abuse his mod powers if he re-opens it, and it was left closed in the review queue, maybe I should include that

TheLethalCarrot

10:16 AM

Ah didn't even see the review queue, that basically answers it, 5 people think it's a dupe

10:28 AM

I reckon HNQ greed caused the outrage

> I discovered that one of the close-voters had edited the answer to the new question into an answer to the older question

@TheLethalCarrot how dare you steal the answer from a new question and post it into the old question!

TheLethalCarrot

Haha, it wouldn't bother me as much if I'd actually done that

Anywhoo my stomach commands I eat so off I go.

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

TheLethalCarrot

10:44 AM

@Edlothiad The actual title for that is pretty accurate

11:05 AM

They misspelt “Lies about Sansa” as “leaks”

TheLethalCarrot

11:36 AM

Well I saw it as "Me whenever someone passes off their fanfiction as leaks"

Oh nevermind I get what you mean now haha

11:47 AM

@TheLethalCarrot :facepalm:

Hmmmmmmm

I give up...

TheLethalCarrot

It was working the first time haha

Was it?

Not for me, weird

Gif in question:

user image

Star if it works for you ;)

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah tis working

Lol

user image

1 hour later…

TheLethalCarrot

1:15 PM

@Aeg Self answer?

@TheLethalCarrot Taking a page out of your book ;) But I'll hold for an hour or until someone answers, whatever happens first

So if you know the answer, don't hesitate.

TheLethalCarrot

Not off the top of my head

Interesting question though

Unless brothels count?

Tourmaline brotherhood, ancient guild of spicers, the thirteen are all from Qarth, no ?

Well sex industry is an industry haha

TheLethalCarrot

So LF's establishments count?

1:19 PM

@Kepotx Yup, just the examples that first came to my mind

Overall, Westeros seems to be far less inclined towards trade than Essos is

@TheLethalCarrot I guess so, based on the argument that sex industry is technically an industry

TheLethalCarrot

Cool

A group of women working for one employer, selling certain goods

TheLethalCarrot

and services

@Aegon Europe is more inclined than the UK

Oh and men

Lets not forget men

TheLethalCarrot

Well everything has it's price

1:22 PM

@TheLethalCarrot I guess East always is haha. Orient and Levant were more active in trade than Europe during Medieval times

TheLethalCarrot

Does LF own a chain of brothels in the books like he does in the show?

2

Q: Are there any proper industries in Westeros and Essos?

Trade seems to be very important in both Essos and Westeros and we see different entities vying against each other for mercantile supremacy such as the Free cities, Slaver cities etc. For trade, there have to be products. So naturally, surplus and efficient production means that the state with ...

a-song-of-ice-and-fire economics

TheLethalCarrot

My lazy searching hasn't turned up anything other than he owns a couple

@TheLethalCarrot He did say something along the lines of "Whores seldom sink and when boarded by pirates, they pay like anyone else"

And then he chuckled on his own wit

Oh and the one he took Catelyn to was the one he owned

TheLethalCarrot

Aye he tells Ned that

Can't see him saying he owns more than that one though

TheLethalCarrot

1:35 PM

I posted an answer for LF and brothels but I couldn't find many more quotes to back it up

@BaeltheBard Economics tag? Seriously...? All these ridiculous tags should be scrapped. An expert in economics is going to be useless at answering this question.

Unless he specifically knows the universe

TheLethalCarrot

Yup tis meta tag

Just dozed off about 15 times in a 1 hour long meeting, wonder how obvious that was...

TheLethalCarrot

Hahaha hopefully you didn't snore

@TheLethalCarrot Mummy wolf?

user image

@TheLethalCarrot Nah just did that head bobbing thing I think

Although I'm never sure if it's worse than it feels

TheLethalCarrot

1:40 PM

Haha sometimes worse if you properly exaggerate it

These people at work just made my life so much more difficult

TheLethalCarrot

By waking you up?

I removed the economics tag, you can add it back in if you want but I'm certainly not in favour of it myself

@Aegon ^^

@TheLethalCarrot No, they added a password to the software that changes daily so now I need to make it match the changes :eye_roll:

Although I found out I have enough money to get a snack downstairs!

TheLethalCarrot

Not all bad things then haha

@Edlothiad A daily password change? That's just asking for people to write the password down on a sticky note and leave it lying around

Meh I don't care either way

Whatever you prefer

TheLethalCarrot

1:52 PM

Well I don't like meta tags and try to kill them off but I know sometimes I take away tags I probably shouldn't so always worth making sure haha

@TheLethalCarrot Nah it's systemic. Although the system is now on a sticky not on my desk, lol

You think I can answer this with we don't know but then say why?

0

Q: How did Valkyrie get to Sakaar?

What did she fly with? How did she know where to go and why wasn't she also imprisoned as a slave?

marvel marvel-cinematic-universe thor-ragnarok

TheLethalCarrot

2:10 PM

@Edlothiad Hahaha sounds like it's a bad idea from everything I've read on password security

@Edlothiad If you know the why haha

I haven't scene Thor Ragnarok

seen*

TheLethalCarrot

No idea how I managed that typo

SCripts take up so much damn space

TheLethalCarrot

user image

Please say this wasn't one of you lot? :P

user image

@Aeg Don't know why I forgot to look in SSM for an answer

@TheLethalCarrot Oh it's fairly recent and it's essentially a link to a tumblr post so the search was gonna be essentially borked anyways

2:22 PM

Nope can't be bothered.

TheLethalCarrot

@Aegon Ah no point anyway then

What's worse is I actually have that tumblr post bookmarked haha

@TheLethalCarrot And that's why I avoid /r/gameofthrones like the plague!

TheLethalCarrot

Yup

Q: A good one was about Sansa - if she had told the truth at Darry, would Lady be still alive?

George: it is possible - Robert was not a thinker but an impetuous man, ruled by his emotions, so it could be that he would have directed his anger towards Joffrey instead of the direwolves.

GRRM, giving people more reasons to hate Sansa

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad I was hoping it didn't come from this

5 hours ago, by Nog Shine

In the show, Only Ghost and Nymeria are the living Direwolves? Do they reproduce in future?

@Aegon Yup, I think that was a given before he said it though

2:26 PM

@Aegon as if we needed that

Who or what is Darry

Oh give over with this anti-Sansa circle jerk, lord have mercy...

This whole super fanning for Sansa is getting old, but pretending she's this dead awful character is just ....

@Edlothiad the castle where lady was killed

2:55 PM

@TheLethalCarrot another one, in case you want to answer

Quick search SSM

Heh

Might as well hazard outraging people, my day is ending, can't afford to wait for an hour. Let's get quick 8 questions and call it a day

Plus you're onto SSM ;)

Given I don't search any SSMs I wouldn't even know where to look.

I don't know, the Citadel?

DVs heh

But eh, I knew what I was doing

Q: How much creative independence are the Show runners accorded in Game of Thrones?

Since Season 3, we have been observing that the show was taking a different direction than the books. Many important characters never made it into the show, others who are still alive were killed off. As we know the show is supposed to be based on the books, not to be direct adaption of the boo...

game-of-thrones a-song-of-ice-and-fire behind-the-scenes

TheLethalCarrot

3:12 PM

@Aegon I'm out in the showroom testing, oh well

Hmm, @Aegon I somewhat agree with you, but I think it is the first deviation where they did something different rather than just omitting it

The key is "direction altering"

It did not really impact the bigger picture

fair enough

Replacing Jeyne with Talissa was also major but since it didn't quite change how things worked out, I guess that ain't direction altering either

3:27 PM

TIL, Tamzin Merchant played the role of Daenerys in an unaired pilot which was poorly received, prompting her to be replaced by Emilia

Oh and Jennifer Ehle was supposed to be Catelyn

TheLethalCarrot

The show is fond of recasting people

lol

4:04 PM

@TheLethalCarrot That's the case for almost every show. Some shows even have entirely new casts between pilot and subsequent episodes, because the pilot was well received, they got funding and then replaced the cast with better actors/actresses.

TheLethalCarrot

I know

4:35 PM

People still trying to argue they're not dupes...

What's the point of having two pieces of information about the exact same thing?

TheLethalCarrot

I dunno

Q: What was the fate of the main core of the first Falcon Heavy launch?

During the main core's landing on the marine landing pad, the connection was lost. As such it is not immediately clear whether the launch and landing were a complete success or not. What was the main core's fate in the end? Did it manage to land correctly?

launch spacex landing falcon-heavy

Closed as FWP

fwp?

Also, welcome to the party

@JAD Future Works Policy, one we have here on SFF ;)

the synchronous landing was pretty hype

goosebumps man

It was intense.
