@BaeltheBard DANG IT. 9 hours too late

@Möoz Wait, it's not dawn?

Edlothiad

06:26

Silly Aeg

TheLethalCarrot

09:03

Should I add the TWOIAF caption to one of those answers?

Edlothiad

Sure

Ok I'm confused. I can chat here, but I can't reload anything?

So I'm clearly connected to the internet, but reddit, se and slack aren't loading

everything else seems to work fine

TheLethalCarrot

I get that all the time

Usually only SFF loads and everything else fails

Edlothiad

Should I be worried that work is onto me?

TheLethalCarrot

Half the time I can't do anything but view new messages in chat but can't send my own

Edlothiad

Stack overflow doesn't even work

TheLethalCarrot

09:05

Lol may have just borked

I think I got the caption right, I took a really bad picture of it last night on my phone haha

Edlothiad

Can't procrastinate, therefore I can't work

TheLethalCarrot

Haha

My tweet about guardians made it to reddit

reddit.com/r/marvelstudios/comments/7sncjn/…

15k updoots

I probably shouldda posted it there myself haha

Edlothiad

And linked to your answer and got the Announcer badge.

TheLethalCarrot

Yup too late now though haha

Edlothiad

Let me onto reddit!!!! AND STACK!!! ARGH

TheLethalCarrot

09:11

Hahaha

Edlothiad

Woohoo we're back!

55 seconds to slow for the Late Answer review argh

TheLethalCarrot

Damn

I get it all the time but it's just the shite work internet I think

Edlothiad

Ugh guy at work wants to synchronise this afternoon, such effort

TheLethalCarrot

Haha

Oh congrats to me I've hit 100 silver badges

Edlothiad

Pfft... Amateur

tbf I only have 183 so...

TheLethalCarrot

09:21

Haha I'm not bothered about badges like you though

Edlothiad

Well bothered in keeping them in check, actually earning them would require effort, which we know I don't do

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah they are the words of House Lothiad

Edlothiad

Lol

I was about to search AWOIAF for House Lothiad

"We do not Effort"

"Laziness is coming"

"Hear me roar... about how lazy I am"

"Duty, Honour, Laziness"

"Unbowed, Unbent, Unworked"

"Ours is the Laziness"

"Growing Lazy"

Right that's all the main houses.

Awww shit, I missed House Arryn

TheLethalCarrot

Haha pretty good

Edlothiad

"As Lazy as BobbyB"

I had to search the Tyrell and Arryn words tbf

And we're rip again...

TheLethalCarrot

09:32

Haha

I don't know what the best one is

I like Unbowed, Unbent, Unworked

Edlothiad

Me too haha

It's the only one that makes sense

Duty Honour Laziness has the same effect, you think it's going to be something good, but just you wait sonny

TheLethalCarrot

Haha

See if we went with my actual surname there's already a House for it just no words, though we do have an ancient Scottish/Irish clan to go off of

And we have a real life motto with that too

Edlothiad

Clan McGregor

TheLethalCarrot

Haha

Edlothiad

Ye my family has arms and a motto

TheLethalCarrot

09:35

Oooh apparently we have a tartan

The real life version arms is much better than the ASOIAF one too

Edlothiad

Ye you showed me your real life one at some point.

If you're scottish you'll have a tartan

Even the chinese families have "tartans"

Clan Zhou

TheLethalCarrot

I know was trying to one up you ;P

I mean look GoT one

RL one

RL one is so much cooler :P

And we have a motto IRL: Mullach a-bu meaning Victory for the Dunns

It's a bit boring though

Edlothiad

Lol, I can't research mine online cuz Switzerland and no one cares

TheLethalCarrot

Haha

I'd found most of my stuff a while a go

Edlothiad

09:56

Can't even load the lunch menu

TheLethalCarrot

Edlothiad

It worked, and it's my favourite lunch, I'm excited

TheLethalCarrot

Oooh what you got

Edlothiad

> Lamb stew with beer and sage Gnocchi with butter Spinach sautéed with garlic

Served by the Lunch lady that heaps food onto my plate, I'm super excited

TheLethalCarrot

Hahaha nice

Edlothiad

10:03

There's not a single vegetable I like more than Spinach with garlic

Aegon

Behold, his royal highness, King Edwin of SCATland, a good CATholic

Edlothiad

Ye scat means something different in my country, capitalising all of it like that made it very strange

Aegon

Huh google says kot

TheLethalCarrot

How it still has the lion too haha

Aegon

What does it mean?

@TheLethalCarrot Reminds one of Tommen

TheLethalCarrot

10:05

Ah true

Edlothiad

1. Go away/Leave
2. Improvised jazz singing where the mouth is used as an instrument.
3. "Droppings"

Aegon

@Edlothiad Go away is in English tho

I thought you said in your country

TheLethalCarrot

1 and 2 are common English, not 100% sure about 3

Edlothiad

3 Is common...

It's like following a scat trail

@Aegon Figure of speech

And well, I don't really know where my country is, I'm a person of the world.

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad I haven't heard it but you're most likely right haha

TheLethalCarrot

If you're feeling old fashioned press Ctrl+Wndws+C

Kepotx

was king joffrey baratheon officially crowned by the septon ? i remember that the high sparrow refused to crown tommen, but don't remember if the fat septon crowned joffrey

TheLethalCarrot

He was certainly planning on doing it

Kepotx

he was totally corrupt so i dont see why he would refused but i dont have any memory of the high septon crowning joffrey, in the books and in the tv show

@Aegon what mod is it ?

Edlothiad

@Kepotx it’s a scatmod

Q: Why doesn't Jon Snow just create a new undead to show to Cersei?

In GOT season 7, Jon Snow and several other important characters feel the need to which is (obviously, and as it turns out) very dangerous. However, in Season 1, Othor's body is risen from the dead South of the wall, and attacks Jeor Mormont, so obviously the White Walkers' inluence works tha...

@TheLethalCarrot gosh, you beat me by 15 seconds

TheLethalCarrot

Lol, I'd have posted it earlier but I was talking with a colleague

Kepotx

same, the teacher was behind me ^^

TheLethalCarrot

Haha

Kepotx

didn't realise that othor hadn't blue eyes in the show...

TheLethalCarrot

Continuity error, they're not blue when he attacks Mormont either

Not that I can see anyway

Aegon

11:29

@Kepotx Cats and Bears were introduced with the Jade Dragon DLC. Not a mod

Edlothiad

UUUUUUGH SFF IS STILL BORKED

TheLethalCarrot

Not loading?

Edlothiad

Nope

TheLethalCarrot

Edlothiad

Whats ctrl+windows+c?

TheLethalCarrot

Toggles monitor colour

Edlothiad

DV'd question, no idea what it says

TheLethalCarrot

Or screen colour rather

Edlothiad

Lol how would that help paha

TheLethalCarrot

Dunno

Edlothiad

Not doing anything for me

TheLethalCarrot

11:32

@Edlothiad It's not a good question but basically why didn't they kill someone and wait for them to be turned into a wight instead of going to look for one

@Edlothiad You on Win 10?

Edlothiad

Ye

@TheLethalCarrot Well that's bloody stupid, I want to downvote it...

TheLethalCarrot

Dunno then

And yeah it's a bad Q, also based on a few false premises

Edlothiad

Swapped from wired to wireless connection, still rip

TheLethalCarrot

Mine usuaully gets better after 10 mins

Looks like you're proper borked

Edlothiad

I just want to thrash about angrily

TheLethalCarrot

11:44

Haha

Edlothiad

Some people online are claiming it's malware

TheLethalCarrot

Run a scan then :P

Edlothiad

0?

TheLethalCarrot

0 what?

Edlothiad

dangerous files

TheLethalCarrot

11:47

Oh haha

Dunno then

Edlothiad

This sucks, I don't think I have enough coins for a chocolate bar either :(

I do, I'm going chocolate shopping

TheLethalCarrot

Woop

Batshit crazy theory anyone?

Edlothiad

THAT WORKS!

TheLethalCarrot

Oh come off it

Edlothiad

12:03

No haha the link works, not the theory

TheLethalCarrot

Good, I was starting to give up hope

Haha

Edlothiad

The theory is silly

TheLethalCarrot

Silly is the polite way of putting it

JAD

Let's call it special

Edlothiad

I can't see the reddit thread that the author copied verbatim from...

TheLethalCarrot

12:10

The reddit thread has less info in it and appears to be even worse

Aegon

12:26

It keeps asking me to complete Captcha, must be legit

Edlothiad

??

So I can't do any of my usual procrastination, I'll have to learn french :eyeroll:

Aegon

The batshit insane theory site

Keeps asking

me

to complete captcha

Edlothiad

Lol, that's weird

Aegon

And then keeps asking again ... and again... and again.

Yup, no idea

TheLethalCarrot

You aint human Egg

Aegon

12:29

If the theory is that Planetos is a tiny speck in the eye of a giant

Edlothiad

yep

TheLethalCarrot

Well that it's in a Giant's eye, they don't go into detail

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Negative, Dear Human subject 093888xff. I am very much LifeStatus.alive and Species.Human

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot I say it's in Sponge Bob's pants. All those who deny it are my enemies

TheLethalCarrot

12:31

Sounds about right

Edlothiad

Well considering they claim it's a dyson sphere, the land would be on the inner surface of the eye and therefore covering the iris.

TheLethalCarrot

Have you been looking into this EggBot?

@Edlothiad They state the poles are holes that the First Men came in through

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot Kill me now.

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Nah, the "Tick here bruh if you really human or some shieet" captcha

Which then gets pissed at you and starts showing you images to select from

TheLethalCarrot

Ahh right

Edlothiad

12:32

@TheLethalCarrot I can't even open that cuz it's an SE network link :(

TheLethalCarrot

Those ones are annoyinj

Haha

It's always check all the squares that contain a sign and then one square has the top edge of a sign in it, do I check it or not?

Half the time you should check it, the other half you shouldn't

Edlothiad

Just check all the boxes

TheLethalCarrot

Haha

Edlothiad

So the guy who wants to synchronise no longer has time because he's working on something else so French it is

Also I need to stay awake somehow :/

You guys seen this? I love this theory: awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Frey_Pies/Theories

Aegon

@Edlothiad I think this is R+L=J tier theory

Hot "Frey" Pie!

Edlothiad

12:44

Well most on AWOIAF are, but that's all I can read now

If this = SanSan, I'll be sooo upset:

> You will see, in A STORM OF SWORDS and later volumes, that Sansa remembers the Hound kissing her the night he came to her bedroom... but if you look at the scene, he never does. That will eventually mean something, but just now it's a subtle touch, something most of the readers may not even pick up on.

awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Sansa_Stark/…

:OOOOOOOOOOO

TheLethalCarrot

Sansaryen confirmed?

Edlothiad

Now that I could possibly get behind.

Although it'd have to be fAegon

Or Jonsa, god that would make me sick

TheLethalCarrot

I thought fAegon when I read it

Hopeully not Jonsa

Edlothiad

Hopefully no fAegon either...

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad I don't think you need the theory to want to get behind.... ;)

Edlothiad

12:56

LOOOOOOOOOL ^.^

And by that, dear transcript readers, he means I'm a big fan of Sandor Clegane so regardless of the evidence I will always support theories that lead to Sandor having a happy ending *cough* *cough*

TheLethalCarrot

Of course nothing else implied or stated at all

In S1 when Othor is brought back beyond the Wall he's a wight cos he's not rotting but doesn't have blue eyes yet, I've chalked this up to a show error. Can any of you see if he has blue eyes when he attacks Mormont/Jon.. youtube.com/watch?v=NjjJ-gwL1B0

I had a look and couldn't see blue but other people have said they are

Edlothiad

TheLethalCarrot

Lol

Show messing things up

They got it right in the prologue too

Edlothiad

That was tough with the limited websites I can visit lol

TheLethalCarrot

Seriously how hard is it?

Edlothiad

13:01

Looking

JAD

> S01E08 - White Walker attacks Lord Mormont

cringe

TheLethalCarrot

Probably uploaded by D&D then

Edlothiad

Go to 1:34 and move forward at .25 speed, looks blue to me

I'm almost certain they're blue.

JAD

yeah

Aegon

JAD

13:04

but not the bright blue you see other times

TheLethalCarrot

Maybe actually yeah

Way too dark though

Aegon

@Edlothiad ^Gif

JAD

in that scene though, why on earth does Jon grab the lantern by the side?

Edlothiad

Ye they're blue as everything

2:10, very very clear

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah they are

Show messed up when he's brought back beyond the Wall then?

@JAD Cos he's a muppet

Edlothiad

13:05

@Aegon Wrong reaction, that's more of the one to Jonsa, not what TLC about *cough* me accepting all theories that have a happy ending *cough*

@TheLethalCarrot That would be my assoomption

Aegon

It is my reaction to jonsa

Edlothiad

Oh, you should link it better lolol

Aegon

It is linked to your jonsa comment

Well not the gif, the second comment. Gif didn't for some reason

I could swear sometimes gif replies work here

TheLethalCarrot

@Edlothiad Or probably so they could reveal he was actually a wight during the fight rather than beforehand

Still a mistake though

Edlothiad

Oh that one

If you reply (:43284329) and then post the gif it works

Like mine did

@TheLethalCarrot do you remember which answer of yours Rand complained that it wasn't an answer to the question for?

Aegon

A: Why does Maester Aemon get to cast the deciding vote when electing the new Lord Commander?

This appears to be a show only event and as such it is likely there just to build tension. As this is the case we most likely won't be able to find the reason as the show doesn't really explore the extended material and it doesn't appear to be addressed in the books. However, in the books Jon win...

Edlothiad

@Aegon You don't need to type out the numbers though, just click the arrow then provide the link

that's always worked for me

Aegon

Edlothiad

In the text box it'll come up as ":43920342 https://fdsafdkfdk.com" but it will render

Aegon

Oh they do

My God

It is beautiful

Edlothiad

13:14

Your other one oneboxed as well?

Aegon

No I did the stupid "Upload via url" last time

Or all the times before it

TheLethalCarrot

I've never even seen that before haha

That makes uploading images easier

Aegon

mUh ceNtrAliZed PoWeR

Edlothiad

13:21

@Aegon gonna need a tl;dr because can't see

JAD

I think detainting the rebel lords by Joffrey is pretty assertive

Aegon

@Edlothiad Apparently a guy goes "Meh why are there kings anyways? Why do the noble houses care? Kings are just as strong as they houses they marry into. So how Powerful is the Crown really?"

Edlothiad

What? Where's that logic coming from?

Aegon

And thus came along the Experts who claim Aegon giving back lands to Local Lords and raising them up was a huge mistake and had he taken conquered lands for House Targaryen, Targaryen would have been super powerful

Edlothiad

Sure they'd have had a lot of land, but everyone would've revolted and banded together and GG house Targaryen...

JAD

13:24

@Edlothiad but then again, dragons

Edlothiad

Umm the Dragon Pit was a good example of what would happen.

Aegon

@Edlothiad Precisely. Plus Delegation of power and internal autonomy is a real thing when ruling a huge realm

Edlothiad

A Dragon can only melt so many people...

Throw enough people at it and Dragon goes GG.

Aegon

@JAD Dragons did not end the rebellion of the Faith or conquered Dorne

Edlothiad

Silly JAD... Jarko would've known better ;P

Kepotx

13:26

Feudality is the key : you are only powerfull because your vassals are powerfull. if all vassals begin a rebellion, you are screwed

Aegon

@Kepotx Yup, the King for all intents and purposes is just another feudal lord with a shiny hat

Only thing he really has going for him is the symbolic significance and perception of power

JAD

@Aegon just another tier

Kepotx

and as he NEED some vassals, to delegate power, the best move is to make old kings some vassals/lord paramount, so that other house accept a foreign king

TheLethalCarrot

Yup, you may be able to win with force but you can't rule with it

Edlothiad

@JAD Just another animal?

Kepotx

13:28

constant rebellion and harassment/guerilla like the dornishmen did => no way to rule the seven kingdoms

Aegon

@TheLethalCarrot Ironborn should learn that

Edlothiad

@TheLethalCarrot Well Maegor did...

JAD

@Aegon but muh iron price

Aegon

@Edlothiad For how long?

You can't rule by brute force for ever

Edlothiad

@Aegon Longer then Aenys...

Aegon

13:29

If you try, you end up like Maegor

TheLethalCarrot

Yeah I meant can't rule with power for long

Aegon

@Edlothiad #VisenyaDidNothingWrong

Edlothiad

Lol

Kepotx

look at how even "today's" people hate targs because the mad kings

Aegon

Pre-Emptive defense of Her Grace against the slander that she killed Aenys

Edlothiad

13:29

I would need to revise the succension post Aeg, I forgot Aenys was even king

Kepotx

if there are several mad kings/maegor the cruel kings in a row, there will be constant rebellion

Aegon

@Kepotx Common people still have people who love even Aerys lol

"The old King would never have stood for this"

"King Robert?"

"No, King Aerys, Gods Grace Him"

Kepotx

yes, and other agree that even if he is a tyrant, at least the kingdom was at peace

Edlothiad

Eugh, Eustace Osgrey, the bloody black dragon supporter

Aegon

@Edlothiad Black Dragon, Best Dragon

Kepotx

13:31

a little bit like those who defend Al Assad/Kadhafi : he may be a dictator, but at least, the country is united and at peace, and not in a civil war

Edlothiad

Wait did I get that the wrong way around?

Aegon

@Kepotx Aerys may have been mad but he was smart enough to act like a nice bloke in front of public

Like when he raised levies for ports

When merchants came complaining

He said, "Oh no, when did that happen? Must have been Tywin's work. Good people, as long as I reign, you will never suffer such injustice. I revert my hand's unjust taxes on you"

People don't know much about what he was

TheLethalCarrot

History is written by the victors

Aegon

I mean sure they knew he was slightly touched in the head, but that was the case with most Targs

TheLethalCarrot

Generations of porking your siblings would do that

The Targs are basically Cletus

Aegon

13:35

@TheLethalCarrot "Dear Sir, I protest in the most strong words over the false claims that Targaryens wed their siblings exclusively. Sometimes we wed neices and nephews too, Yours Truly, King Maegor (Mrs.)"

"madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. Every time a new Targaryen is born, he said, the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land"
