@Krazer If they're indexed then we shouldn't worry about it. Unless we have examples which are at least a month old we shouldn't bother MSO.

JNat

and also, do not forget to check out the ones on Arqade: meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/5602/…

Eric

@LoganM The GUNDAM one is from December, but I think that was private beta territory.

JNat

c'yall tomorrow

Eric

@JNat Bye :(

Logan M

@Eric Both the Gundam one and the Moths one were over a month old, but if they're indexed now then we shouldn't worry about it until we find another example of an old one which isn't indexed.

Eric

12:09 AM

@LoganM The Gundam one is not indexed.

Logan M

12:22 AM

I can't find any other long-standing examples. I'd assume the Gundam one will be indexed eventually, and sooner if we answer it. Until it is answered I don't think we have much need for it to be indexed.

@Krazer Is that this season?

Since I swear I saw something with that name while I was browsing for music...

A: Who is Saber extending her hand to in the ED of Carnival Phantasm?

That arm could be the arm of Kiritsugu Emiya. In the picture the characters are connected to thier masters. The masters of Saber would be Shirou Emiya and Kiritsugu Emiya. It could also be the arm of Irisviel van Einzbern, who wasn't the real master of Saber but some sort of stand-in, while Kiri...

^^ new user, should we just give him the benefit of the doubt?

Both characters mentioned aren't in Fate Stay Night.

Logan M

@Mysticial Not a very good answer without any support. Carnival Phantasm has no Fate/Zero.

Mysticial

@LoganM That's what I'm thinking too.

I'm don't think I can upvote.

Krazer

►

@Mysticial It might make sense, perhaps they are hinting at them appearing in the next season

Mysticial

@Krazer You have a point there. Since Carnival Phantasm came out before Fate Zero.

Logan M

@Krazer Yes, but without any evidence it's just random speculation. It could just as easily be someone random like Merlin for all we know.

Krazer

1:05 AM

@Mysticial did you see the new Special Season OVA for Carnival Phantasm?

Mysticial

@Krazer Did it just come out?

I don't recall seeing anything like that on the fansub groups that I normally follow.

Krazer

@Mysticial came out end of January I just found out about it a few days ago. It's quite good. utw.me/2013/01/31/carnival-phantasm-special-season

Mysticial

Oh. I already have it actually.

Lemme see if I actually watched it yet.

I think I might have dumped it straight in my archive.

Ok, I don't recognize much of the scenes. If I did watch it, I was probably really distracted or under the influence.

Guess I'll watch it now.

I did not watch it because I didn't MAL it.

lol

@Mysticial All hail the leading highscorer in this chat!

Mysticial

All from SO.

Eric

@Mysticial Does this have an explanation?

in Thrills and Spills, 2 mins ago, by Mysticial

Mysticial

@Eric I have no idea... I don't even know which episode it is.

But yeah, that'd be a good anime-physics question.

Eric

@Mysticial I'll ask it later. What's the character's name? And the anime's name?

Mysticial

Angel Beats

I forgot who the guy's name is.

Eric

2:10 AM

Would you know it if you heard it?

Mysticial

No. But you can run down the MAL character list and find him pretty easily.

But...

lemme try to actually find the scene first.

Because I'm looking at the forum where I found it.

Eric

Alright, sure.

Mysticial

It might've been modded.

Eric

Matsushita or Ōyama, I think. Both have that hair color.

Krazer

@Eric It's TK

and it's definitely shopped

Eric

2:12 AM

@Krazer TK's blonde!

Mysticial

Lemme try to find that episode.

Krazer

@Eric and he wears a bandana

Eric

Hmm... I still can't see the blonde on top. :(

Krazer

@Mysticial It's from the end of episode 1 -- he only jumps once.

Mysticial

damn, you found it already?

Yeah, only once.

That takes a lot of work to mod it like that.

Krazer

2:16 AM

@Mysticial who could forget all the classic TK moments

Mysticial

@Krazer I remember the guy, but not his name.

It's been a long time since I've seen the show.

Washu

lalalalala

answering the unanswered

lol

btw did they ever explain what TK stood for?

Mysticial

2:20 AM

No idea.

Ask it.

We don't have any Angel Beats questions.

angelbeats.wikia.com/wiki/TK

^^ Says it's completely unknown.

Krazer

ned to find a good picture ;p

Logan M

@Mysticial We've got 1 I think

Mysticial

Oh we do.

Logan M

But yeah they never said what it stood for.

Mysticial

2:27 AM

I just realized that I have both Angel Beats Specials in my archive.

Haven't seen either one of them.

They came in a batch download. So I never even noticed them when I replaced the 720ps with the 1080p batch.

Logan M

@Mysticial Stairway to Heaven was pretty funny. The other one is sort of a stupid epilogue which was totally unnecessary.

Mysticial

@Krazer Are we just supposed to answer, "it was never revealed"?

Eric

@Mysticial And also "TK is a nickname which he gave to himself."

Mysticial

yeah...

Logan M

@Mysticial Presumably. That's all the information that's available, and there's nothing to speculate based on either.

Eric

2:31 AM

Preceded with an "As of ______, ...".

Krazer

@Mysticial there are short stories for Angel Beats

Mysticial

AB?

Krazer

it's a prequel of sorts, the MC is supposed to be Hinata

Eric

@Mysticial Angel Beats.

Mysticial

oh

haha

Eric

2:34 AM

Though, even if the answer is revealed in the stories or whatnot, I'm not opposed to having an "As of ______ in the anime, ..." answer. I don't think it hurts to have something like that (much like on the John Titor question).

Krazer

oh there's second special?

I must so watch it!

wow that second one was short

Okay, so. Our Q/D is up sufficiently. I think it's time for us to focus on answers. It would be great if we could get securely above 90% (maybe 92% or so), and get our answer ratio to move to at least 1.6. Any thoughts, guys?

Washu

@Eric i'm trying to answer all that i'm capable of

But there are some about i really do not know...

Also we have some answers that the users haven't logged in a while

Let me link them to you

Eric

That's good, I think we just need more people going through the Unanswered category. I'm sure there's some there that have answers.

.. lol

Don't worry about answers that aren't accepted.

As long as an answer has 1 or more upvotes, it "counts" as an "answer".

Washu

They don't have an answer and the user haven't logged in a while

Ohhh..

Didn't know that

Eric

I found out only recently as well.

We should be focused on questions with 0 answers, or with questions that have answers with 0 upvotes.

If you see one with 0 upvotes, consider if it can be edited to be a "better" answer.

Washu

Ok on it

@Eric what do you think of this answer anime.stackexchange.com/a/3044/8

Eric

3:13 PM

@Washu It's a bit short and doesn't cite any official sources, or even an example. Those would be up to the original answerer, so I wouldn't worry about that one.

iKlsR

heheh, high school art class

I really think this should be a feature meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/8600/…

It would greatly reduce unanswered questions, not for complex questions but for simple things such as Q: what is red A: a color -- (user rep = 1) has 12 upvotes and no answer, the community can see that it was a good answer and accept it.. (or make a community accept.. (this was considered an acceptable answer by John, Tom, Paul) or close the question etc..

but it won't so meh..

Eric

Yeah, I've always thought it would be good to, except one thing: The most upvoted answer isn't always what works.

Specifically in terms of SO.

Washu

Anyone knows where can i check the DBZ Movie?

@Washu We posted some stuff on the community pages: plus.google.com/111061084179563499110/posts/NcVtvkMaan3

But I don't think there are any actual versions online.

Or any reviews or anything. It just came out today.

the payment was less

@Mysticial Do you have the answer for that Magic Limiters question? I think I do, but if you already know, I'd like to see if you have any better sources.

Mysticial

6:39 PM

@Eric I actually have no idea. So go for it.

Eric

Awesome.

Mysticial

6:55 PM

I guess that's probably as good of an answer as I'll get. "They are trusted, but not that trusted."

Eric

Yeah. I mean, it's also a bit of "They may not known their own strength." I won't speak to that in the answer because I've not seen the series.

Mysticial

Oh you haven't seen the series?

lol

The 3 of them are almost super-sayin.

Eric

Yeah, I got that feel from the info I found.

Here's a quote I found:

> Because, let's face it, Hayate is basically a living magical nuke, Nanoha has more firepower than a battleship and Fate can pretty much beat anything she can touch. Those three alone pretty much constitute an army. And then put all three into the same unit.

Logan M

9:58 PM

Regarding that one there is a lot of politics in the actual series which is relevant to the answer. It isn't *just* that having 3 S+/SS class mages in the same unit is ridiculous. There was someone fairly powerful who isn't really a fan of Section 6 for other reasons, and they were able to convince enough other people based on that to put extra limiters on them beyond what's normal for mages of that level.
I haven't watched the series since it aired, but if I ever rewatch it I'll go back and add an answer expanding on that. I don't actually remember exactly where all the information is. Nan…

Eric

@LoganM I just added all that I could. If you can answer it better, please do. The more, the merrier.

Logan M

@Eric I'll do so if I can find that information, but it's somewhat unlikely that I'll rewatch Nanoha until the 3rd movie comes out.

Eric

No worries.

Madara Uchiha

10:35 PM

@LoganM like my answer?

Logan M

10:48 PM

@MadaraUchiha It's not bad. The only thing that worries me is "don't be afraid to speculate". While speculation is fine, it should be marked as such, and based on facts whenever possible. If we were getting lots of answers per question then it wouldn't be a big deal if some of them were too speculative, but I worry that we might be losing good canon answers just because someone provided a speculative one which knocked the question out of the unanswered list.

Madara Uchiha

@LoganM I've said, "don't forget to mark it as such"

But since it's since settled down. Let's try it again.

which Miku?

Any specific archetype?

We already have the Kuroshituji guy bringing us the retag questions. It's probably easiest just to edit that feed to bring all the questions.

We named the walrus Sakamoto?

Mysticial

Oh, we're not doing Miku?

I'm going to throw this out. Our mascot character should be a human-eating fire-breathing walrus named Sakamoto.

@LoganM Oh, missed the last part.

Logan M

That's where the walrus originated from.

@Mysticial Miku is okay, but she doesn't really have enough swag for the main site. Maybe she could deliver us pizza or something though.
