@Skooba Nice we are discussing ROs? While it would be awesome, If you really wanna know if I feel we need another RO, then probably no because we are all civilized, decent folk down these parts. But practically speaking, It would be prudent to have multiple ROs in different Timezones

Mooz would be great if he could find time to visit the room every now and then

As for me, I am here everyday except weekends

Edlothiad

@Aegon I make no exceptions for weekends, except Saturdays Between 11 and 6 and after 8

Aegon

@Edlothiad That is true. And you are here almost always and love doing the cleanup and mod work

Edlothiad

@Aegon I love wiping butts, I mean cleaning up the messys

Q: How is the dragon blowing fire in GoT last epidose of Season 7?

If the blue flames that the dead dragon is blowing from its mouth is fire in the last episode of season 7 ... how is that possible? The army of the dead get killed by fire. Now the dragon is (un)dead, how is it creating and blowing fire? Fire should kill it no?

Mornin'

Aegon

Morning TLC. How have you been

TheLethalCarrot

Been good, say I'm relaxed after my hols but we walked 20,000+ steps a day, went swimming and other activities and now my legs are killing me haha

How about you?

@Edlothiad It's fine I don't need bounties :) Thanks for the first though... when it get's delivered :P

@amflare Harsh words haha

TheLethalCarrot

10:10

For once when I left for a few days a flood of questions haven't come in

Aegon

Repost because this is still the current mood

TheLethalCarrot

It really is

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Oh same old. Bored, work, reddit, sff, ck2

TheLethalCarrot

I'm going to have to answer old questions again soon

Q: Ed Sheeran and Friends in GoT?

Ed Sheeran's character in the episode in GoT was a Lannister soldier. The rest of the soldiers were Lannister soldiers also. Arya Stark hates Lannisters the most for what they have caused to her family. Why does she not feel the need to kill these soldiers when she has the upper hand? (following ...

Aegon

10:22

@TheLethalCarrot Take up that question on MTV

Flater is there however

TheLethalCarrot

Flater loves MTV

I'm leaving MTV alone nowadays though

Aegon

So you might find yourself in a "No no no no no no no la la la la la not listening not reading no no no no no I love show no no no nononono I am right yes yes yes"

Kinda argument

I knew what I walking into when I posted a comment there and I wasn't disappointed.

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah I gave up with MTV a while ago to be honest

Hahaha

@M&TVFeeds The title and body don't really match here

Title: Who's Ed's friends in GoT (cast?)
Body: Why didn't Arya kill the soldiers?

Aegon

Corrected

Just the title tho

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah good

Although why Ed was in the show is an easy Q/A but quite a nice bit of trivia

Edlothiad

10:28

@TheLethalCarrot I said link a good question!

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad Fine I'll have a look in a bit, if I remember

Aegon

@Edlothiad You are getting a bounty soon too methinks

The H-word question

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad Also congrats on hitting 25k

Aegon

10:49

Oh Congrats Ed

Edlothiad

11:02

@Aegon there might be a few more on that question

(As it says in the bounty description)

@TheLethalCarrot thank you, thank you! @Aegon watch out i’ll Be over taking you next ;)

I was the 50th person still around with 25k

TheLethalCarrot

Awesome

Aegon

@Edlothiad Hah that ought to be easy given that I answer questions of only one franchise

Edlothiad

There are some deleted users that can be assumed to have been up there.

@Aegon only because you don’t listen to my google advice, very easy to do with the upcoming Justice League film. Expect news articles within 2 days, you can answer every question!

TheLethalCarrot

Haha that's if you want to answer other franchises though

Edlothiad

11:19

Everyone's favourite man next to a dragon is back!

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad Eh?

Edlothiad

@Aegon Gets me every time, and I keep falling for it

@TheLethalCarrot I was in the show? TIL

@TheLethalCarrot I mean how many men next to a dragon do you know...

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad Yup good singer you are too

@Edlothiad Well for there to be a favourite there must be more than one

Aegon

@Edlothiad It is a nice distraction from boredom....for a while.

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot No I'm both the favourite and the least, the best and the worst. I am

@Aegon It's not a nice distraction at all, although I couldn't help editing ankits answer. Gotta get that +2 rep

Aegon

11:27

Come on! It is amusing to see people defending the show

And how it is perfectly logical for an icedragon to breathe.....fire

Edlothiad

@Aegon It's a dead dragon silly!

Actually just saw a bit on a radio show about that, spoilers Season 8

Aegon

And that's not even the best part. The icedragon is under a form of magic which crumbles when apparently breaks on contact with fire.

Edlothiad

>! there'll be more about Viserion

Well that spoiler markup didn't work

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad They're going to "explain" it?

Edlothiad

It was on /r/freefolk I think 1 sec

TheLethalCarrot

11:35

So probably made up then :P

Edlothiad

Sourced from a radio show transcript on tumblr

now that I think about it :thinking_face:

TheLethalCarrot

They might explain more about Vicerion in a few one line comments talking about how to beat it. Doubt you'll get more than that

Edlothiad

12:18

LOLOL @TheLethalCarrot someone in ff complained about spoilers!

Although it might have been a joke

TheLethalCarrot

Haha freefolk like they're complaining

They love to argue, kinda like the real ff

Edlothiad

What's aegon removing, I heard to many removed messages triggers mods

TheLethalCarrot

Asked what ff means

Aegon

I asked what's ff? Then it came to me, "duh, Freefolk", so I said nvm. And then deleted the three

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad On that note why were 2000 odd messages removed whilst I was off?

Edlothiad

12:25

I don't know if they really were or if skooba just typed that out

TheLethalCarrot

Ahh okay I only looked at the comments around the starred messages

Couldn't be bothered to read 5 days worth of transcript

Edlothiad

Normally when messages get trashed there's a link to trash (ROs can't send it to a hidden trash)

It's really only like 300 messages

It was me along for 3 days

A: Why did not Arya kill the Lannister soldiers she encountered in Riverlands?

The scene does do a wonderful job of showing us that Lannisters (or those serving them) are not all bad people. However, I think the true reason Arya does not kill them is because they extended her Guest Right. Arya had just killed all the Frey's, not just for killing her family, but explicitly...

TheLethalCarrot

Nope

I don't go to MTV anymore

A: How is the dragon blowing fire in GoT last epidose of Season 7?

It is a different kind of fire now the dragon is (un)dead. "The way I looked at it was, when the sept burned down, that was green fire, and so then the dragon is going to have some kind of blueish fire,” he said. “It’s certainly still fire — it has the ability to burn the Wall and melt snow. ...

Q: Which murdered king was mentioned in Tywin's history lesson?

In episode 3 of season 4, there is a chilling scene with Tywin, Cersei, and Tywin gives a history lesson and talks about the three rulers that lacked wisdom. They were Baelor who was holy, the last was Robert who was strong, but the second one he mentions I am unfamiliar with. His name was ei...

@Edlothiad the other day I learned that the landlord is Don Hector

Edlothiad

Watching Jim Carrey compilations was an AWFUL idea at work

TheLethalCarrot

I can imagine haha

This answer discusses that Jorah's second pardon was sent by Tywin, I agree with this

7

A: Who sent Ser Barristan the pardon for Jorah Mormont?

There is no evidence that Tywin did not send the letter to Barristan. In fact, there is a scene that lends credence that it was Tywin trying to breakup Daenrys' council. The Small Council is discussing updates regarding Daenrys. Varys informs the Council that s...

However

When Barristan tells Jorah about it the following is said

[Ser Barristan hands Ser Jorah the scroll]

SER JORAH: What's this?

SER BARRISTAN: A royal pardon signed by Robert Baratheon. You spied on her.

Any evidence this scroll is the first one resurfaced, an OoU error, Tywin forged it? Anything else?

I can't seem to find any other evidence about this so I might go with it being a mistake

Skooba

13:57

@TheLethalCarrot hmmmm interesting......

BUT

it would not have been the seal of the Hand

because Ned refused that order.

Edlothiad

NED WAS DEAD

Skooba

Jorah's first pardon was sent before Ned was dead.

TheLethalCarrot

@Skooba Ah so it seems like it's the letter from Tywin that is either forged of Robert or includes the pardon from Robert as well?

Skooba

It was the whole reason Ned quit being Hand for that short time.

Edlothiad

And the one in question?

Barristan didn't deliver the first pardon did he?

TheLethalCarrot

14:01

Maybe Jorah didn't take the first pardon from the Little Bird in the first place?

@Edlothiad No little bird did

Skooba

@TheLethalCarrot Or could just another continuity error.

Edlothiad

Exactly so it has nothing to do with ned?

TheLethalCarrot

@Skooba More than likely

Skooba

@TheLethalCarrot he did tho didn't he.... right before the wine merchant scene

Edlothiad

Looks to me like Bobby B pardoned him before his death and delivered it after

TheLethalCarrot

14:02

@Skooba Well he talks to the LB then it cuts to the wine merchant

Skooba

14:13

@TheLethalCarrot yeah the LB said something like "The Spider sends his regards" or something

TheLethalCarrot

@Skooba Yeah so it's either an error, forged or tywins letter and the original pardon. No evidence as to which it is though sadly

Skooba

The Spider sends his greetings, and his congratulations.

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah that's the first scroll

The second one the LB just says "Ser Barristan" and hands him the scroll

Then Barristan tells Jorah it was signed by Robert

Skooba

Yup so I agree with the above statement.... forged or error

new question alert!!!!

"Why was the second pardon signed by Robert"

TheLethalCarrot

Worth it do you think? I'd ask it but I can't seem to find anything else so it'll probably be left unanswered

Or just a We Do Not Sow

Edlothiad

14:27

@TheLethalCarrot No it's not worth it

TheLethalCarrot

Cos you don't like Sowing

Oooh a year long suspension, I'd deffo be creating a sock after that haha

"This account is temporarily suspended to cool down. The suspension period ends on Nov 5 '18 at 14:38."

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot You might wanna note in your answer that no bill of attainder was issued against Jorah

He had the option of dying as Lord of Bear Island

His exile is self-imposed

The pardon is for act of slavery

TheLethalCarrot

@Aegon I don't know what you mean by that but I might add that his exile was self imposed

Aegon

And has nothing to do with his aristocratic status

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot Why do you think one of my answers has a 50 rep bounty

TheLethalCarrot

14:33

Haha

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Oh I mean correcting the wrong premise in top answer

It begins with "No, he lost his claim when he was exiled by Eddard Stark. His pardon means he can go back to Westeros, nothing more."

DForck42

mornin

Aegon

You might wanna correct that he did not lose his claim or something and nor was he exiled by ES

Evening @Dforck42

TheLethalCarrot

@Aegon Clarified on that a bit, I get what you mean now

Mornin'

Edlothiad

45 minutes!

God these 9 hour days suck...

DForck42

14:37

@Edlothiad I've been a twork 37 minutes, 30 of that was spent waiting for my computer to turn on

Edlothiad

@DForck42 I've only done like 2 hours of work

but that's about 2 hours more than usual

TheLethalCarrot

I've successfully done 3 hours working already with 3 to go :P

Had a few support calls today

Over nonsense issues again too

Edlothiad

I had a presentation, made a lot of the demo in powerpoint, was intense

TheLethalCarrot

You didn't death by powerpoint in a different language again did you? :/

amflare

How is it that I just get into work and @edl is already cheering about his day being almost over.

fml

TheLethalCarrot

14:45

Cos you 'merican

Edlothiad

@amflare cuz you live in the butt end of nowhere, and we have proper work hours here

none of this 9-5 shtick

TheLethalCarrot

It gets to me cos I'm only 1 hour difference in time zone from him and he finishes 2 hours earlier than me haha

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot Nah I had like 100 animations and animated the software, in powerpoint, was dope

amflare

I thought you were both in UK

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot We have proper work hours here. not this 9-5 shtick

amflare

14:47

define proper work hours

Edlothiad

@amflare we were both in the UK

We aren't both in the UK

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad I'm 9-5.30 does that count? :P

@Edlothiad Ah nice one

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot Closer ;)

I work 7:30-4:30

TheLethalCarrot

:P

amflare

I work an 8-5, but because I'm a dev its more like 8:30-4:30

Edlothiad

14:48

8-5 is better than most. I thought 9-5 was standard

amflare

flexibility ftw

Edlothiad

that was so easy, I worked 8 hour days in the uk, absolute joke

Don't even have paid lunches here :(

TheLethalCarrot

@amflare See that's the problem cos I work in a small company I'm a dev, support, project lead etc.

@Edlothiad Lol Our lunches are paid and bought in for us, all we have to do is put the cheese between the bread :P

amflare

@Edlothiad I can't speak for other countries, but about 15 years ago bosses got tired for paying for lunches here and so added an extra hour to the day to make up for it. So while everyone still says "9-5" its really an "8-5 with an hour for lunch"

TheLethalCarrot

@amflare I'd love to have flexi time

amflare

14:50

I work through lunch, so I can come it late and leave early

Edlothiad

FLEXI TIME IS THE BEST

@amflare Oh ok, that's effectively what I have

TheLethalCarrot

But again cos we essentially do dev and support we can't cos we need to be around when they're around :(

Edlothiad

@amflare I breach my contract if I don't take at least a 30 minute break

amflare

Wut

really?

Edlothiad

Ye, but that's more for the factory people

but they throw it in everyone's contract cuz it's easier

amflare

14:51

huh

TheLethalCarrot

We had that at this old restaurant job I worked at, I fell out with my manager cos I didn't get a break but they put it on my time sheet anyway

So I effectively lost 30 mins pay

Edlothiad

I also have to work 18 extra minutes per day to make up my free christmas holiday and other holidays through the year

amflare

@TheLethalCarrot I don't blame you

@Edlothiad you don't get PTO?

Edlothiad

@amflare As in holiday days?

TheLethalCarrot

This job is good for that, if you need to leave 10 mins early every now and then they're fine with it. Especially when you go to site and don't get home till 8/9 o'clock. No paid overtime but made up for like that, pretty good :)

amflare

14:57

@Edlothiad Paid time off, yeah

Is that just an american thing?

Edlothiad

@amflare Please, americans barely have it. I think the standard (maybe in the past) was like 3-4 weeks in the us. I get 5 weeks as an intern, and most of the other guys are up to 7-8 weeks

amflare

Well thats true enough

Edlothiad

But for Christmas the factory closes. And everyone has to take off. those don't count to our holiday days, but we work 15 minutes extra to get them off

I think it's a swiss thing.

amflare

Wait.... why can't you count that as a holiday day?

thats BS

Edlothiad

So i can use more holiday days elsewhere

it's pretty good imo

1.3 hours a week is really easy to work up

TheLethalCarrot

15:11

@Edlothiad I get 20 days so 4 weeks and it raises to 25 after 5 years in the company. I think that's around the average in the UK though not too sure

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot 25 pro rata when i was interning for the summer in london :O

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad Is London though, everything in London is better apart from travel

Well the amount of travel stuff is better but it just get's clogged way too easily

Just too busy

amflare

@TheLethalCarrot idk about that

do you have breakfast tacos in london?

Edlothiad

Than the rest of the UK

@amflare We have a full english, don't need your american diabetes, obesity inducing foods

(yes I said full english followed by don't need followed by obesity ;P )

TheLethalCarrot

Full English is the best

amflare

15:18

Its mexican food....

TheLethalCarrot

Had a good one yesterday :P

amflare

I've never had a full english. Is that with one with like sausage and beans and tomatoes and eggs and potatoes?

Edlothiad

It's bastardised mexican food...

@amflare mushrooms bacon toast no potatoes

amflare

no potatos!? o_O

is that too irish for you snobby brits to stomach?

xD

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad Hash browns?

But proper Hash Browns not these things

These lovely things

amflare

15:23

what?

are you messing with me?

TheLethalCarrot

Why?

amflare

I would have guessed the other way around

the second looks like what McDonalds calls a hash brown

TheLethalCarrot

When I went to America all the breakfasts were made with pic #1 and they aren't as good as pic #2

amflare

The top looks like something cooked in a pan, not a fryer

TheLethalCarrot

@amflare Yeah that sort of thing but proper ones are obvs better than McDonald's ones

amflare

15:24

huh

learn new things every day

TheLethalCarrot

Well we only has breakfast at Denny's (I think it was) and they made them with the strips like in the first picture

amflare

Ah. That makes sense.

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot ah yes, they make me sick. I forget about them

The top looks like a shitty rösti

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad You don't like them? I love hash browns

Edlothiad

Nah they’re grim

amflare

15:30

hash browns are amazing

TheLethalCarrot

Not the best thing in a Full English but they are good

Best is bacon and not American Bacon

That stuff let me down big time

amflare

I mean... it depends what you buy. If you also ate that at Denny's I don't blame you

TheLethalCarrot

I think we had it elsewhere too

But yeah it was all Denny's style I think

amflare

cheap bacon is... well cheap

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah but it was made differently to the UK too, cheap bacon in the UK is still super good

amflare

15:32

huh

I want to visit the UK next year, so maybe I'll be able to find this out for myself.

TheLethalCarrot

Not got time for bacon strips like that

It's not right

You want proper bacon

amflare

thats like canadian bacon

Edlothiad

There both bacon, they’re two different cuts

TheLethalCarrot

I know

The bottom is just better imo

Edlothiad

I thoroughly enjoy both, but streaky bacon is normally made crispy which I don’t like

TheLethalCarrot

15:35

Canadian and streaky are different though, I think? :S

Edlothiad

Canadian back and streaky are three types I thibk

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah

Edlothiad

Back is British btw, before we get confused

TheLethalCarrot

Aye, the proper stuff :P

amflare

Edlothiad

15:36

Aye, I will complain about neither though

amflare

canadian is processed I think, not an actual cut

Edlothiad

Ye circles is Canadian, that’s just ham though, I think it’s processed

amflare

American is belly

and British is back

oh, you just said that

Edlothiad

@amflare ah yeah, but in the UK we call it streaky

amflare

anyway, that pic has a nice cut of belly bacon

TheLethalCarrot

15:38

I'm not complaining about any bacon just that back is best :P

Edlothiad

The brits make bad sausages though, Euro sausages are way better

I have no preference between US and UK

Well depending on the occasion and how it’s cooked

amflare

Germans make good sausages imo

though I would not be able to pick the sausages of other EU countries out if I wasn't told.

Edlothiad

Swiss are the best

amflare

US sausages are horrible; make me sick

Edlothiad

@amflare not even saucison?

TheLethalCarrot

15:40

@Edlothiad Yeah we do, I don't really like sausages so don't compare them :P

amflare

@Edlothiad no idea what that is

Edlothiad

It’s like French salami?

Or bratwurst?

I think that’s common in the us

amflare

I meant for the most part I don't know enough about sausage to tell you which country made it.

we get bratwurst over here

also salami isn't real sausage <_<

Edlothiad

google.co.uk/…

amflare

ooooh that looks good, idk if I've had it before

Edlothiad

15:46

In Europe it’s normally not easy to say this sausage is from that country so you say type of sausage + region it’s from

amflare

Ah

It amazes me how many regions you guys manage to fit in such a small area
