The Quill and Tankard

Nog Shine

02:46

Sansa Stark part in the show is boring.

Edlothiad

05:59

@NogShine you take that back. Unless you want to feel my wrath.

Rule #Ed of the Tankard: All redheaded characters are great even when they’re not.

Nog Shine

She is no more red head. She dyed her hair. :P

She is not intelligent and I don't know whether she will become one.

I hope she will.

@Edlothiad Ed of Tankard, Lord of Winter bash.

Edlothiad

06:30

@NogShine She's not un-intelligent, and Sansa Stark most certainly is redheaded (note I said characters not actors). She was manipulative. Like most teenagers women are. Whereas Arya might be an exception, most teenage women seem reasonably manipulative in the books and show. Sansa's character has also been ruined by her merging with Jeyne Westerling, and the fact the character is obsessed with finding her knight in shining armour.

In the show however, she seems to have grown bold since escaping Ramsey, has summoned the Knights of the Vale to save the North, let Littlefinger conspire to overthrow the Starks, used weirwood.net to condemn him, and I presume will hold her Ladyship of the North until such time that Jon is legitimised or continue to hold it as he runs off with his aunt.

@NogShine The tankard bit was meant to be the room, not me. Although I like the "Lord of Winterbash", I'm adding that to my username for this month.

Ed of House Lothiad, Lord of Winterbash.

@Aeg I've just touched up wording and grammar in your answer, hope you don't mind

I also don't fully get this sentence "But it appears that Lyanna had indeed eloped with Rhaegar rather than getting married to Robert Baratheon"

Aegon

06:56

I think I meant she had in fact eloped out of her freewill and Rhaegar didn't truly abduct her

And cheers

7 more to go!

Edlothiad

07:08

Also you wrote Blackfire not Blackfyre in that most recent question.

Aegon

07:27

Hope you corrected that

Oh well, taken care of now

6!!!

Edlothiad

I added some Kings in.

Aegon

07:47

Cheers. Five more. I think I will do them after lunch. And then I swear I will work

Edlothiad

Westerlander sounds very... wrong

Edlothiad

08:08

@Aegon scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/178597/…

Aegon

@Edlothiad Idk Westerland/Westerner sounds even worst. The Proper demonym from the books is Westerman and Westermen

Goddammit a Search of ice and fire ain't working

Guess I will have to go through the books then

Q: Which three people can defeat Jaime?

In a Game of Thrones episode, when Brienne is taking Jaime back to King's Landing, Jaime quotes that there are "only three people in Westros who can defeat him in a fair duel".However he never mentions their name.Who are these people.Are they named in the books?(I have not read the books yet I am...

Edlothiad

@Aegon Ah yes Westermen Commanders, Westerman Commanders, Westerland Commanders, Westerlander Commanders.

I still think Westerland Commanders sounds the best.

Because one doesn't say Northmen Commanders one says Northern Commanders.

Might be best just to say "Commanders of the Westerlands"

Westerlander is definitely not right, and I feel is a common trope (adding -er) used by non-native speakers

Aegon

@Edlothiad Idk doesn't feel right to me. That would be like saying France Commanders, or Germany Commanders

@Edlothiad Which appends ern to the North

Jarko Dubbeldam

Western commanders?

Aegon

08:18

@Edlothiad That's really a common way of making demonyms. Add er or ish or tian at the end.

Edlothiad

But they're specifically from the Westerlands not simply the west

Aegon

Tian and Ish don't fit with Westerland

Only Er does

Edlothiad

@Aegon ish, that's again a non-native way of doing it.

Aegon

@JarkoDubbeldam Ironborn are also Western.

@Edlothiad England->English

Edlothiad

Rarely does a Demonym take an er or an ish

Aegon

08:19

That's as native as it gets

Edlothiad

Sure there are a few, but that doesn't mean you can add an ish

Finnish, Swedish

are two more examples

Spanish

Aegon

@Edlothiad Yes that's what I am saying. That's how demonyms go. Er, tian, ish

Or just an

Jarko Dubbeldam

Francish

Aegon

French stand alone tho

There is no other nationality whose demonym in english ends in ench

Edlothiad

But then There's Brazilian, Argentinian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Colombian Moroccan, South African. Thai, Laotian, Soamoan

Jarko Dubbeldam

08:21

Netherlands -> Dutch

Germany -> German

Aegon

@Edlothiad They fall in the "an" and "ian" trap

Jarko Dubbeldam

Don't try to make sense out of something where sense isn't very prevalent

Like the english language

Edlothiad

an/ese is far more common

Aegon

And good job with ese. Forgot that one

Westerlandese?

Edlothiad

But that doesn't mead it necessarily needs one tacked on

Jarko Dubbeldam

08:22

If you take Fin-land as an example, which replaces land with ish

Edlothiad

I've always believed the demonym to be Westerland

Jarko Dubbeldam

Westerish?

Edlothiad

Maybe it is westerlander

Aegon

@JarkoDubbeldam Same with England

Edlothiad

@JarkoDubbeldam Sweden - Swedish, Switzerland - Swiss

Aegon

08:23

@Edlothiad In the absence of one defined by canon, We can make do I suppose. Westermen will however remain the canon way but doesn't quite fit. Westermen Commander

Eh whatever. I better look that cleagane quote

Edlothiad

I still think Westerland Commander is the best.

Commander of the Westerlands, Westerland commander

Commander of the French, French commander.

Jarko Dubbeldam

Warden of the West?

Or is that something entirely different

Edlothiad

Commander of the Germans, German Commander. Commander of the Brits, British Commander

@JarkoDubbeldam Whole different ballgame

Aegon

@Edlothiad Again, England Commander doesn't sound the best

Edlothiad

But you don't say Commander of the England(s)

But you would say Commander of the Westerlands

In the same way you say Lord of the Westerlands, not Lord of the Westerlanders

Jarko Dubbeldam

08:26

Because England isn't called the the Englands

Westerlands are

Westerlands sounds weird without 'the'

Compare to the Netherlands

It is definitely Commander of the Netherlands

Aegon

@Edlothiad Why not? If I can say King of England, why can't I say Commander of England? Unless we are talking about something specific like English Armies then it would Commander of the English Armies

Jarko Dubbeldam

It's the Westerlands isn't it?

Aegon

Holland is probably the only country in the world which has the suffix lands I believe

In Netherlands I mean, not Holland

Edlothiad

Holland is actually a county/province/state/whatever they call it of The Netherlands

Aegon

@Edlothiad I play enough CK2 to know Frisian counties ;)

Jarko Dubbeldam

08:29

province

but whatever

Aegon

Can anyone help me find that Clegane quote?

Jarko Dubbeldam

People make a fuss about it, but the government's tourist website is called holland.com

Edlothiad

@Aegon Cayman Islands, Turk and Caicos Islands, Cook Islands, etc. etc.

Jarko Dubbeldam

just because it is so common

Edlothiad

@JarkoDubbeldam Fail...

Jarko Dubbeldam

08:30

@Edlothiad not really, it's just the first name people think of

Edlothiad

@Aegon Don't bother it's a dupe.

@JarkoDubbeldam It's still a fail. Don't give in...

Aegon

I still need it to complete the answer

Edlothiad

Ours isn't cheese.ch

or watches.ch

Can I get back into putting too much effort into a CW answer now, PLEASE

Aegon

Great the fricking quote was in the dupe question and I wasted so much time looking for it

Edlothiad

Oh well

I'd still paste your answer there. One closer to gold, and the best answer on the question.

Aegon

08:48

Should I delete the one from dupe?

I think I should

Edlothiad

Nah

No harm no foul.

Aegon

3 more to go, 2 if I hadn't deleted that LD

SOOOOON!

Edlothiad

That Harrenhal answer could be so much better...

Aegon

@Edlothiad Phoning it in. Will continue after my shift ends. Gotta be fast and get the max results in 7 minutes, when lunch break ends

Ah screw it

Will carry on after my shift ends

TheLethalCarrot

09:12

@JarkoDubbeldam It really depends on your answers and language for PPCG, though I'm answer count full but no where near on score for gold code-golf

3 to go awesome :)

Jarko Dubbeldam

09:27

@TheLethalCarrot Unless you're Dennis/Martin Ender

But R wasn't exactly the most popular language

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah any of the already high rep users haha

Jarko Dubbeldam

And there is only so many upvotes to go around when there is 3 people participating

TheLethalCarrot

I answered in C# when I was active there haha that's even worse for upvotes

Aegon

I was just about to argue with the person who commented on the linked answer

27

A: Why did Tywin destroy Tyrion's marriage?

I think there are two primary reasons for both breaking it up and for being cruel about it. First, he wants to ensure that Tyrion doesn't attempt this kind of marriage again since the Lannisters can't marry commoners as they are nobles, Tyrion could potentially be useful for a political marriage,...

Until I read the name

TheLethalCarrot

Haha like holding a phone up to either ear

Jarko Dubbeldam

09:31

what am I missing?

TheLethalCarrot

Egg was about to argue with himself

Jarko Dubbeldam

hehe

Edlothiad

Well that edit took an hour and 33 minutes 0.0

TheLethalCarrot

Wow

Edlothiad

For a community wiki post as well...

TheLethalCarrot

09:39

You made it a wiki and then did all the work yourself haha

Edlothiad

Yep. I've been working on the answer after about an hour of coming in this morning ~2 hours ago

TheLethalCarrot

Long one

Edlothiad

On a user who's Q/As I find to be very Low Quality and purely to try and gain rep rather than learn or gain information.

Hmm my latest insta post looks like I made it intentionally darker, when all I did was add a b/w filter, do I just assume people trust me or are liking it because they're just nice people

2 MOAR!

TheLethalCarrot

WOOOP

Aegon

09:58

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Edlothiad

1 more!

Oh wait that was TLC

TheLethalCarrot

Haha!

Confusing you :P

Edlothiad

I feel like GoT gold is easy if you just go through old questions...

TheLethalCarrot

Most old questions have unsourced or blatant opinions as answers haha

As long as you know where to look for the source your good

Edlothiad

you're*

UMMMMMMMM

hehehe

Although all these old questions are giving me things to edit without ruining the front page!

1 MOAAAAAAAR

Aegon

10:11

1 MOARRR!

TheLethalCarrot

Haha I keep forgetting to edit the tags

We're so close

Prepare the golden carpet!

Edlothiad

One, Uno, Un, Ichi, Eins, !, (1)2, (1)3, (1)4, (1)n => n ∈ Z+, een, واحد, 一, imodzi, một, איינער, 하나, iray

Ok, that's enough ones....

TheLethalCarrot

Edlothiad

Like my 1 in base 2, 1 in base 3 etc..?

TheLethalCarrot

Yup

Edlothiad

Thought it was a fun maths jokes for all us nerds in here, and Skooba ;P

TheLethalCarrot

Hahaha

Edlothiad

Congrats

Aegon

Thank you. Without you, it wouldn't have happened for months

TheLethalCarrot

No worries, now I just need to charge down 50 :P

Aegon

Thank you for "waking the dragon" hehe ;)

TheLethalCarrot

Haha nerd joke ;P

I'm just waiting for the script to run haha

Aegon

10:45

It's taking too long

TheLethalCarrot

I know right haha

Aegon

GIMME TEH GOLD SE!

TheLethalCarrot

I bet the gold badge one runs every hour or so, there not as frequent by definition

Aegon

True, not like people get Gold tag badges every other hour

Except when the tag is harry-potter

TheLethalCarrot

Hahaha

@Aegon I believe this belongs to you too

Aegon

10:51

@TheLethalCarrot 🎶Ba dum da da dum ba da dum da da dum dum da da dum dum 🎶 _hums the theme_

TheLethalCarrot

Lol, everytime

Aegon

🍷, here's to Ramin Djwadi, who's been nothing but absolutely sublime without fail from Season 1 till now

TheLethalCarrot

That's true, if there's one thing to be said for most TV shows/films even if the story is crap the music is usually pretty spot on

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot probably daily

Aegon

Great so I am not going to get the badge today

TheLethalCarrot

10:56

I doubt it's that infrequent

Edlothiad

You will, just not your today 😂

Aegon

I am waiting for the script to run so that I could finally start working

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot why would it need to run more frequently?

I doubt SO gets that many gold tag badges every day. Probably 1 maybe less

TheLethalCarrot

I stand corrected

64

A: How long does it take for badges to be awarded? How are they generated?

Regular Badges A scheduled job; there are a number of scheduled tasks at different intervals (every few (5?) minutes; hourly; daily etc) that do a range of things. Many of the badges are on the "every few minutes" loop... General rule: Wait at least 24 hours. If you haven't gotten it by then, y...

It's because I've only ever had regular gold badges and I know that runs more frequently than the tag badge script

Aegon

Is that 0300 HRS or 03:00 AM or 03:00 PM?

TheLethalCarrot

10:59

It's 03:00/3am

I believe that's when most of the daily scripts run

Aegon

Dang so tomorrow then

Back to work then, with a heavy heart

See ya guys

TheLethalCarrot

Haha

Ciao

Edlothiad

11:17

@TheLethalCarrot BOOOOOOM, Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

#AmISecretlySandor?

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

Edlothiad

Some newbie just decided they wanted to become an active reviewer. ARGH! Daytime in Europe is Ed's alone time with the reviews!

TheLethalCarrot

Haha how dare they!?

Edlothiad

I know right. I'm less than 30 away from being the top First Post Reviewer of all time. This is like 12 months in the making!

7 and 50 reviews away from two separate gold badges...

TheLethalCarrot

And they're just going to take the rug from under you at the last hurdle?

The moster

Edlothiad

11:25

THE BLOODY MOSTER!

TheLethalCarrot

Oh damn it

Edlothiad

Also, go suggest 7 tag wiki edits, so I can do some work knowing I have a knew gold badge

TheLethalCarrot

moster it is then

You did actually just remind me I wanted to edit the ASOIF wiki

scifi.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/119561

Edlothiad

You can remove the words before "For Questions" on GoT. Same with GRRM. Jon Snow could be fixed. Dragons could use a new excerpt

6 more!

The GoT one and GRRM ones are easy

Then I can improve those edits and finish those.

TheLethalCarrot

scifi.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/119562

Edlothiad

11:34

Done

TheLethalCarrot

Done GRRM too but I edited excerpt and wiki so there's two for you

Edlothiad

3 MOOOOOOAAARRRRR

MFW new reviews appear

Aegon, TLC, Skooba's FW new questions appear.

TheLethalCarrot

I've changed Jon Snow's too the following but it still doesn't seem right. Should I add something along the lines of If the question is about the works in general use their respective tags.?

Character tag to be used when questions are specifically about Jon Snow from the A Song of Ice and Fire series or the television adaptation Game of Thrones.

Edlothiad

Amf's face when he sees a question that can be answered with a real world answer

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

Edlothiad

11:38

Just post that and I can fix it up

TheLethalCarrot

Okay all I've really done is capitalise and remove the markdonw

But done

Edlothiad

The voters when Amflare posts a new real world answer

I removed the bit at the front, because I'm low key trying to standardise our tags :)

TheLethalCarrot

Ah that's better though I can finally correct one of your typos! I think...

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot :O

TheLethalCarrot

were -> where :P

Edlothiad

11:43

The site after TLCs posts a late answer

@TheLethalCarrot NOOOOOOOOO

TheLethalCarrot

Lol no one likes my late answers

Edlothiad

1 MOARRRRR

TheLethalCarrot

I'm bored of wiki edits now :P

Is asearchof borken for everyone else?

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot Super borked

TheLethalCarrot

Thought so

Edlothiad

11:45

That gif applies to finding out asearch is borked

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

Edlothiad

MFW I realise I have to read the books to find quotes

TheLethalCarrot

Bad @Aegon with your text images

scifi.stackexchange.com/posts/135441/revisions

Aegon

Lol it was an old answer, one from before I found asearchoficeandfire I think

Thanks

TheLethalCarrot

I guess so, I'm still internally tutting though :P

TheLethalCarrot

12:12

The new DAG updates includes 3/4 things that I moaned about being fixed

Go me :P

Edlothiad

DAG?

Something at work.

TheLethalCarrot

Team DAG

Edlothiad

I don't know how to solve the very final step of this test, so I just noped and started a new one.

TheLethalCarrot

But I meant the new featured post

35

Q: 2018 monthly product team updates

Mid-2017 TeamDAG started publishing monthly updates. This post will continue that effort into 2018. (see 2017's updated here) Updates are posted at the beginning of the month. They cover what was done last month, what is still in progress and new work that will be started in the current month.

discussion featured announcements

@Edlothiad Go away and come back usually helps anyway

Edlothiad

What is DAG?

@TheLethalCarrot I've been not doing it since monday

TheLethalCarrot

12:14

Lol

Edlothiad

I'm clueless as to how to detect these colourful squares when they're random

TheLethalCarrot

Not that helpful then

Edlothiad

I could click on every single place they might be until I find one, but that seems reasonably tedius.

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad Look for squares or look for the colours?

Edlothiad

colourful squares, but there could be other squares I don't want...

TheLethalCarrot

12:16

Threshold to that colour and look for the squares? Or is there any label on the square you could look for instead?

Edlothiad

Basically Red circles appear where there is a fault, some of the red circles now have tiny squares, I need to confirm these squares exist

I need to then decide whether there are now less squares or not :/ I might just be like "no square = success"

Ok, see if there's cake, get more water and then try again.

TheLethalCarrot

Seems awkward

I'd help but it's hard to visualise haha

Edlothiad

Ye I can't really say anything cuz it's "confidential"

So I have to be vague, it's aight I'll figure something out

TheLethalCarrot

Oh I understand

Edlothiad

Or I could probably just scrap that bit and ask on Monday

I also really need to find my memory sticks...

2

TheLethalCarrot

12:21

Haha

Edlothiad

Oh god someone just got a tattoo related to the old Dany x Jon meme about bottoms and eating on their lower back...

TheLethalCarrot

Link?

Edlothiad

At last we will reveal ourselves to the Lannisters. At last we will have revenge.

Foul language and not necessarily SFW

TheLethalCarrot

That's terrible haha

Aegon

Got the notification for a new badge, clicked the button brimming with excitement, only to find out it was a measly necromancer badge.

Cries

TheLethalCarrot

12:31

Hahahaha

Awesome

Edlothiad

@Aegon measley silver badge... MEASLEY?!?! HOW DARE YOU!

Nice Bronze to Silver ration Aeg!

Also when did I over take your rep total?

Wow, the Last Jedi really didn't spawn that many posts. Rogue One was a larger boom than TLJ

Less new views as well

Steward number 2!

Aegon

@Edlothiad No idea. I think it was a few months ago

@Edlothiad I have 33 of those. 0 of tag gold. It is MEASLY af

Edlothiad

12:47

@Aegon You have 167 of those.

@Aegon I got like 5k rep in December, so probably then

Wow that's a lot of rep for one month

TheLethalCarrot

TLJ really has been a poor show true

Probably because when you think about it not much really happened

Edlothiad

True. We'll see how Solo does, and whether it can get me another silver badge.

(Taxonomist)

TheLethalCarrot

It depends on what route they go with it, it has potential to be good or really bad

Edlothiad

As long as 50 questions get asked, I'm happy.

TheLethalCarrot

Haha

Aegon

12:57

@Edlothiad I meant specifically Necromancer

Edlothiad

@Aegon You have 2 great answer badges...

Oh tag gold

SILVER BADGES AREN'T MEASLEY!

Their gods gift to the world. I'd trade in my gold badge for silver badges

Aegon

@Edlothiad 1 of them is a medal of shame

@Edlothiad That's almost half the rep I got in the whole year. Good job ;)

Edlothiad

@Aegon I got 30k+ in that year. Not to shabby

I'll start earning rep at some point this year. Not right now though.

TheLethalCarrot

I'll start earning rep at a specific moment next year ;P

If I'm still active here then of course

Edlothiad

WOOHOO 8 GOLD BADGES!

Skooba

13:12

@TheLethalCarrot talking about my character tag?

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah me and Ed were tidying them up

Skooba

whats up will these Russian (?) flags?

TheLethalCarrot

No idea, really annoying though

We always get bursts of them every now and then

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot I guess I'll be gone by then. I'll have burnt out

Russians are bad at being nice in their chat room?

TheLethalCarrot

Just stay in the background, I only got burnt out on PPCG and SO cos I was constantly active and was working alone. Just talking to people in this chat room is keeping me more interested in the site than I otherwise would be

Edlothiad

13:16

@TheLethalCarrot apparantly it's finidng the squares no problem, but I'm skeptical.

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah lots of testing needed probably

Edlothiad

13:34

I asked for 99% similarity to my screenshots and apparently they came through, so... maybe it is just that easy?

TheLethalCarrot

Go with that then haha

Until proven borken stick with it

Skooba

13:45

@TheLethalCarrot I guess I am going to have to settle for the bronze of golds.

Edlothiad

s/gifs/efforts

TheLethalCarrot

@Skooba 156 v 117 and I was behind you, just depends on our answer rates and I'm slowing down haha

@Skooba Also what was that question I was gonna ask?

Skooba

@TheLethalCarrot If there were dragons in westeros prior to the Targs

TheLethalCarrot

That was your question wasn't it?

You were just trying to bait me to ask haha

Skooba

lol

If smallfolk got married

caught me red-handed

TheLethalCarrot

13:55

Haha

Is it really worth asking though?

Skooba

probably not, and it going to be a pain to find that clip

TheLethalCarrot

Well you don't need the clip just the quote

Skooba

it was show source which needs a clip or a script

Edlothiad

0/10 for that answer @TheLethalCarrot

TheLethalCarrot

Haha the comparisons had already been stated but that GRRM is worthy enough for an answer

My opinion only though apparently haha

Edlothiad

14:02

"Is this inspired by this?"

"Well something is inspired by something so maybe"

Imo is not a great answer

Skooba

@TheLethalCarrot oh there is also the new season to pull from

if we consider soldiers smallfolk

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad Not saying it's a good answer but he's said lots of things are so the potential they are too is there

@Skooba True

Edlothiad

@Skooba 156 v 117 and I was behind you, just depends on our answer rates and I'm slowing down haha

"I'm slowing down" Answers 8 questions today.

TheLethalCarrot

I was slowing down when I wrote that haha

I just found a couple of questions I thought I could answer

Skooba

yeah... just happened to stumble across them 'eh?

TheLethalCarrot

Well I'm looking but not properly haha

Edlothiad

Holy cow my lack of sleep has hit me like a bus...

TheLethalCarrot

15:06

That was an oddly long answer haha

TheLethalCarrot

15:51

(Not a self answer)

Though I am still looking

Did I answer your question before you asked it Ed?
