Don't think this is a spoiler, but it's in a spoiler tag just incase. George RR Martin loves irony. And has so much in the books. I think the above would be one of the most ironic reveals of the series. Plus it would mean that Just some similarities. Incest Ambitious Great or Crazy (i...

Anoyone else's chat looking odd?

Aegon

8:59 AM

@TheLethalCoder It's looking fine for me

shouldiblamecaching.com

TheLethalCoder

@Aegon No idea why I clicked that link, I've gone to that site so many times

Cleared my cache though

Edlothiad

10:22 AM

Classic site

Almost as classic as downloadmoreram.com @TheLethalCoder you should probably check out my link, could be whats messing with your chat

On a more serious note, what tampermonkey script is that? could be messing with your css

TheLethalCoder

10:47 AM

@Edlothiad Oh it's for code golf, I'll turn it off but it's never messed with chat before.

Oh was the script, someone must have made an update to it over the weekend

Imma find out

Edlothiad

11:04 AM

It's always tampermonkey :D weird that it's on in chat? you could just not let it run in chat.

you might have it doing @include all of *.stackexchange.com*

when you might want to limit it to *pcg.se.com*

TheLethalCoder

Yeah looks like it was updated recently so they've probably done something like that that they shouldn't have done. I've disabled it anyway as I haven't been active on PPCG for a while.

Guessing this is the culprit (Though I don't know much about web scripts) // @match *://chat.stackexchange.com/*

Changed it too // @match *://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/240/* and it looks fine now though it might be a bit to specific but oh well :)

I know it's a basic answer but I wanted to be thorough, did I miss any points?

A: Game of Thrones season 7 finale - question about the Unsullied

They Walked To explain further the Unsullied were never stuck at Casterly Rock in the first place. They took the rock and whilst they were busy doing so Euron and his fleet destroyed the Unsullied ships. They presumably then left the Unsullied there with a long...

Aegon

11:45 AM

Which giant do you think sansa would slay

" I dreamt of a maid at a feast with purple serpents in her hair, venom dripping from their fangs. And later I dreamt that maid again, slaying a savage giant in a castle built of snow."

The first one would Joff's death thanks to poisonous stone in Sansa's hairnet. Purple wedding

So the maid is sansa

Castle built of snow, Perhaps, Eyrie in Winter?

Hope the old woman didn't the lil incident where Sansa ripped apart Robert Arryn's doll

TheLethalCoder

LF is a giant of the game so he could count, she also "slayed" Ramsay by inviting the vale over to help. Though if it's meant more literally it could be her in Winterfell next season with wight giants. Though she is no where near badass enough to do that in my opinion.

Another option the "maid" could be the Stark sisters so could be Arya killing any giant... metaphorically or not

Aegon

12:03 PM

Oh I am talking about books

Not the show. The whole Ramsay thing never happened in the books

It's Jeyne Poole who married ramsay, pretending to be Arya, not Sansa

Well the Old Woman said she saw the Same maid, the one whose hair had purple serpents at a feast. Arya wasn't there. Sansa was. So it has be Sansa.

It's at least an indicator that Sansa will evolve

If the released chapter from TWOW is any hint, she is evolving.

TheLethalCoder

I assumed you was talking about the books but I don't know all the differences.

Could still be her killing LF if that happens in the books.

@Aegon Becoming more badass?

Aegon

Funny how many hints GRRM gave us. For the Red Wedding and Purple wedding as well. Of course I realized them only in the hindsight

@TheLethalCoder In a manner of speaking. She's become more confident. A Politician rather than a warrior.

TheLethalCoder

@Aegon Though if she stays like the show she still won't be very good at it. "It's true I'm a slow learner... but I do learn (After having Bran tell me the truth because I'm an idiot and trusted LF more than my sister)"

Aegon

@TheLethalCoder That whole arc was stupid beyond belief

TheLethalCoder

@Aegon It's my biggest problem with the last season, everything else I can understand where they were coming from but not that part.

And a nice little poem

@Aegon That's the same for most things unfortunatley

Aegon

12:25 PM

Instagram is banned on my office network

So image not found lol

TheLethalCoder

Oh I got them from pictaram I think it is cos you can't easily get them from insta

As far as I know nothing is banned on our network so woop

Skooba

@Aegon yeah i was like yeah... grey wind didnt the the situation... I thought something was up because of this, still wasn't prepared.

TheLethalCoder

@Edlothiad Kind of disappointed with the ending to that one. Feel like they could have come up with a better joke.

Ankit Sharma

@TheLethalCoder lol

TheLethalCoder

@Aegon Top one is Star Wars "Viserion! You were supposed to destroy the White Walkers not join them!"

Second is a classic poem "Roses are dead, Viserion is blue, If you think this has a happy ending, shame on you!"

Is Sansa the heir to the Stark and Bolton households?

Or more technically current "leader"

Narusan

12:40 PM

@TheLethalCoder Somewhat, right, as Jon's away?...

Skooba

@TheLethalCoder I'd not say the Boltons, yes she was married, but I would say the house is extinct.

TheLethalCoder

@Narusan Well Jon is a Targ and not a legitimised Stark so depends if he decides to stay Stark or go Targ I suppose.

@Skooba I would feel she'd let them go extinct to but technically she is the only surviving member of their house I suppose.

Skooba

@TheLethalCoder If Sansa has a child it wouldn't be a Bolton. It would just depend on Roose' extended family. There might a legitimate Bolton somewhere but we don't know of them. GRRM has ton of family tree stuff, but it seems even if you go just a generation or two back, there were a lot of only-childs.

TheLethalCoder

@Skooba Yeah suppose. It also appears that she never took the Bolton name so that furthers the claim that she wouldn't be Bolton.

On a better note we know of an event that started the conflict between the Stark's and Lannister's before the show started.

Ned Stark attempting to steal Tyrion Lannister's gold, igniting the conflict between their houses...

Skooba

@TheLethalCoder Well even if she did, she did not have any children by Ramsay, so if she does have a child it will be because she remarried.

TheLethalCoder

12:47 PM

@Skooba Aye

Skooba

@TheLethalCoder eh, it was just a ring

TheLethalCoder

@Edlothiad I think you'll like this one.

@Skooba T'was gold though

"Special" gold at that, mostly un-smeltable some might say

Skooba

valeryian gold?

TheLethalCoder

Could be

@Skooba Haha that's a good one

Aegon

@Skooba Yeah and Patchface's little songs. And Dany's vision. And Theon's dreams

Edlothiad

12:57 PM

@Aegon I love patchface

@Skooba Is that the one Galli sent us?

Skooba

@Edlothiad yup

@Edlothiad I know... oh oh, oh oh oh

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCoder If he's a legit Targ he's a legit Stark surely?

@Skooba He just used to crack me up

Hmm should reach 1500 first post reviews by tomorrow

Only 824 to go! (approx 4 months at this rate)

Skooba

good lord man

Aegon

@Edlothiad "Under the sea, men love Patchface, I know I know, oh oh oh"

Skooba

once you hit 1000 leave some for the rest of us

Aegon

1:02 PM

scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/169003/… . 4 reopen votes, how come?

Edlothiad

@Aegon Is it ever explained what happened to him?

Aegon

@Edlothiad As in what transformed him into a visionary prophet of the drowned god?

Edlothiad

Cuz people are stupid. I haven't VTC'd yet so as soon as it opens I'm shutting that question

Aegon

If Ironborn get Patches as their prophet, that will leave the Faith as feeblest of the religions

Edlothiad

@Aegon Oh is that what he is? He sometimes sings about what happened, but I never pieced it all together

Aegon

1:04 PM

Old Gods have three eyed raven. Ironborn shall have patches and Rhllor has Mel

Seven have fat High Septon who shan't be named

Well at least High Sparrow ain't fat

@Edlothiad It's a theory. Mel has seen him in fires as well. She thinks the man is servant of the Great Other

awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Patchface/Theories

Edlothiad

@Skooba that was 488 reviews ago? How do you want me to return those?

First posts are by far the easiest to get, no effort needed

Hmm maybe i'll reach 1500 by tonight.

Skooba

1:20 PM

@Edlothiad donate them

i just don't have to refresh my browser all day lol

Edlothiad

How can I donate?

I already donate some, that's the most I'll go into that detail though

The downfall is if I review all the first posts, I miss the Late answers

cuz you don't get a little 1, so I'd have to find them out by URL and I always forget to do that 15 minutes later

Skooba

lol

I'm just teasing

Edlothiad

If you want I can send you the link every time I see one, then you can get them

Skooba

nah. I'm not that hell bent, I know I'll get the badges eventually.

Edlothiad

You hope to get them eventually, not for another 4 months at least, lol

TheLethalCoder

1:30 PM

Are the review queues ever basically not empty here though?

Seems every time I looks at /review, which isn't very much, they're all at 0

Skooba

cause ed gobbles them up

and im sure others do too

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCoder You're welcome

TheLethalCoder

Haha, doing a good job.

Bet they'd love you over on SO

Edlothiad

Yep they would, too stupid to get 3k, I have maybe 6 questions all at 0

I think I'm at 99 (1 DV since association bonus)

No one is going to be able to get a gold First Post review badge in the next 4 months. Except maybe Galli, if I get a bit lazy.

I think I need a chatroom where I can talk about reviews

TheLethalCoder

Yeah too bad, you should get access to some more tools on different sites if you do a good job on one of them aka gold review badges 20k+ rep etc.

Edlothiad

1:39 PM

@TheLethalCoder I agree they've discussed that on meta

Search "cross site privileges" I think that's the title

Maybe it's just an answer

26

A: What privilege should 30k users get?

It might be time to add more cross-site privileges. For example, if I have 30k on one site, I might be given the right to see deleted posts on all sites. Alternatively, I might get a higher flag weight on all sites. Another option would be to let 30k users edit questions on any site. Answers ar...

128

Q: What privilege should 30k users get?

The last time we lifted the level cap was in 2015. In 2014, we added a unilateral close-as-duplicate power for gold tag badge holders, but no new reputation level. So we've been thinking about giving users more reasons to keep playing. (I've answered this question with some circumstantial evidenc...

feature-request privileges

pretty cool question it's on

TheLethalCoder

I like the idea though to me rep for privileges is wrong anyway. I think once you hit say 1k rep you should get access to everything. If you do poorly your access is restricted on that particular task. Say you keep making edits that get rolled back, you lose edit privileges, your reviews are bad, lose review privileges etc.

That would make more sense, just because I know what a White Walker is doesn't mean I know what a good edit looks like.

Is it me or are there a lot of daft questions in the GoT tag recently?

Skooba

1:58 PM

@TheLethalCoder because the show is going to fast. people are used to getting an explanation. they arent getting that any more

TheLethalCoder

@Skooba I understand that but those are justifiable questions.

The latest one is just... bleh

Though, and I know I keep saying it, explanations are missing because of lack of time.

To be honest I don't really understand why they're rushing the last two seasons.

It feels like they've gotten exponentially faster with how mush they're chucking at us

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCoder That's what happens when you have a hit show

@TheLethalCoder Not enough money cuz people want dragons, WW and insane visuals

TheLethalCoder

Yeah people lose the ability to think for themselves and common sense goes out the window

@Edlothiad On that regard they have done a good job to be honest

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCoder idiots, yes

TheLethalCoder

Haha

Edlothiad

2:02 PM

Like that latest one you answered, straight in the bin with that one

TheLethalCoder

That's what I mean, to be honest I mainly answered it to get my answer count up.

Though I have VTC it now too

Question: Does north of the Wall actually get colder now. Isn't it already permanently winter?

Edlothiad

It becomes endless blizzard AFAIAA, the white walkers bring "the winter"

TheLethalCoder

Ah right

Edlothiad

I gave you an upvote to keep your average and make the answers count, but yeah close that crap

You shouldn't really answer questions you know to close, but sometimes it's nice for the OP

TheLethalCoder

I know the show shows some blizzard trailing the WWs but it's always a bit behind them so seems off

@Edlothiad I know but if I didn't someone else would and (even though mine wasn't the best) a new user would undoubtedly give a one liner.

Edlothiad

2:07 PM

@TheLethalCoder This is true, more reviews for me though

Q: Is all life north of the wall now dead?

At the end of season 7-the dead are officially marching into Westeros. It may be time for their march-but is it correct to say that all life north of the wall is dead? Or is it just all humans are dead? Or are there still survivors somewhere?

game-of-thrones

TheLethalCoder

@Edlothiad Damn, what's more important your review badges or my tag badges?

:P

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCoder Already have the First Post review badge lol

Now i'm doing it for Queen and Country, gotta be the top name on the list, I'm not Bono, I'm no number two

TheLethalCoder

@Edlothiad South park reference? I like it.

Oh sorry 4/6 now

Edlothiad

How is that question +4?

TheLethalCoder

2:14 PM

Oh no +5

I really don't understand how people judge a question to vote on.

Skooba

@TheLethalCoder there are that many people who found the question useful.......

Edlothiad

that doesn't apply to sites like SFF

TheLethalCoder

@Skooba Yeah but why...

Edlothiad

That only really works at SO after the first day

On SFF it's like "Me likey topic me upvotey"

TheLethalCoder

WW are another species so alive in their own right, right?

Edlothiad

2:15 PM

or "oo 4 upvotey must be goody, we upvotey"

Skooba

@Edlothiad i find questions and answers all the time i find useful

TheLethalCoder

@Edlothiad To be honest that's what it is on all sites, not supposed to be that but it is.

Edlothiad

@Skooba Actually answering a question you had?

I never do.

Skooba

@Edlothiad quite a few times. just saw Sooderman HC this weekend

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCoder So much of SO's traffic is google, that it's one of the few where a question coming up is actually helpful

Skooba

2:16 PM

found some questions that had already been asked

Edlothiad

Hmm maybe when I see new films

Skooba

ASOIAF too... might have a questions. I always look here first

TheLethalCoder

@Edlothiad Most of it is because Google is like 1000% better at finding SO questions than SO itself

Skooba

@TheLethalCoder yeah thats he weird part. i might look for some on an SE site, not find it. Then Google it, first hit is an SE site.

TheLethalCoder

@Skooba Apparently they've been working on the searching but I don't think anythings come of it yet.

Skooba

2:19 PM

I also heard that once you participate in SE, google returns hits from SE more readily

TheLethalCoder

@Skooba Well Google results are tailored to your history I believe so that would make sense

Edlothiad

@Skooba Applies with any site, went to xyz for news once? well next time you search "yxz news" you'll get xyz.com

Skooba

fair enough

Edlothiad

then they sell the information to advertising companies to make more money, and to hackers to guess you passwords

I've yet to do work today, and I'm going to leave in 15 minutes, GG

TheLethalCoder

Haha good one

I'm in one of those days where everytime I start something I get pulled onto something more important so have barely done anything.

Edlothiad

2:27 PM

I genuinely can't wait until I have that meeting so I can actually start on my project

TheLethalCoder

@Edlothiad Solo project?

Edlothiad

Ye I guess so

TheLethalCoder

Cool I love solo projects, though we all usually work on different programs in the same project so essentially working on our own for the core code :)

Edlothiad

They want me to automate the testing of their HMI (effectively just a GUI use to operate big ol' machines), one guy did like a quick attempt to see if it's possible, I have to do a feasibility study and if it's possible make it happen

TheLethalCoder

Ah that's cool

Edlothiad

2:30 PM

I've never done any client side work, but I guess this is only my second job (also still only an internship)

TheLethalCoder

Yeah early on I only did internal projects, any stuff for clients was mainly bug fixes and what not that were checked over before going out.

Edlothiad

I've just been a test engineer effectively (I do work for Quality Control effectively)

TheLethalCoder

Yeah you do a lot of testing early on, a great way to learn the systems though

Edlothiad

Yeah I guess so, I'm only here for a year though

TheLethalCoder

No chance of being offered a job afterwards?

Edlothiad

2:32 PM

However they might try and nab me up post masters if I do good, would be a good option to have.

TheLethalCoder

Ah you're mid degree, make a good impression and they might keep their eye on you :)

I did an apprenticeship with the view of being taken on afterwards, and I was, so that was good :)

Edlothiad

Well I finished my bachelors, but opted for a PG masters elsewhere instead of an UG masters back in theUK

Ah cool!

TheLethalCoder

Oh that's cool

I'm a uni drop out :P

Edlothiad

So was Bill Gates ;-P

My dad said "you do uni and then get a job", so I did uni and am now working :)

TheLethalCoder

Haha... Can follow instructions: Tick!

Edlothiad

2:35 PM

I want to do a world tour though. Take a year out and just go and see what happens

TheLethalCoder

Mental gap year?

Edlothiad

Yeah, effectively

bit less "I had an ethereal experience while high on drugs on a beach in Thailand" more "go out, see the world, meet cool people, do shit jobs, yolo"

Like on of those House music videos

TheLethalCoder

Haha sounds good

Will hurt your review productivity though :/

Edlothiad

This is in a couple of years time, when I've left SE

I'll be famous though, the guy who's counts will never be seen again

TheLethalCoder

2:52 PM

Haha

You'll never leave :P I keep telling myself I should but instead I just move to a different site.

So far I've gone from S0->PPCG->SciFi

Edlothiad

I've only been on SFF and only have an interest on SFF, I'll answer bits and pieces on other sites but it's rare. I used to be very active in this webgame community, but it died off

TheLethalCoder

Yeah I've always been interested in SFF but I haven't actually started participating until recently.

Aegon

3:24 PM

I joined SFF to ask a question about Harry Potter.......It was closed

Then I went away for months....Until I saw a question about Tullys and I thought hey maybe I can answer that

TheLethalCoder

And you lived happily ever after?

Aegon

No it ruined my life. Now I spend most of my waking hours here

TheLethalCoder

Yeah sorry that's what I meant

SE doesn't like to let go of people

Seeks you out and never lets you go

Aegon

Speaking of other SE sites

Been a long time since I participated on SO or History SE

Let's see if we can find something there

TheLethalCoder

I've given up with SO, way too much crap comes in

Aegon

3:31 PM

Mostly in my tag

iOS....They are always dupes or off topic

Guess its still better in other tags

TheLethalCoder

Think that's the same with most tags to be honest

At least the ones I view

Edlothiad

Sikuli, that shit is fresh

TheLethalCoder

What that?

Edlothiad

Q: Castle Black - isn't it really just "Fort Black"?

If I'm not mistaken, a Fortress in which a noble man/family reside/s is a castle. So, why is Castle Black not just a Fortress - like the Night Fort, for example? One could argue that maybe the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch is the equivalent of a noble - but he would reside in the Night Fo...
