We're very near question #1000. I really hope it doesn't end up being an ID request or borderline NC question.

Eric

12:46 AM

@LoganM I will ask a question, then delete it as soon as we are past 1000. :D

Logan M

@Eric If the question gets deleted it won't show up in the count.

Eric

@LoganM Exactly. But once we pass 1000 questions, it will no longer be the 1000th.

If it's deleted, that is.

Logan M

@Eric So what is the point of doing that then?

Eric

@LoganM Because it would be the one people noticed as the 1,000th. Once everyone saw the terrible 1,000th question, it would be unlikely that they would notice its deletion, then look at the 1,001th question, and say, "What a great 1,000th question!"

iKlsR

lulz, with that type of reasoning you can do anything..

Eric

1:00 AM

@iKlsR Can you justify genocide?

I'm still waiting for a valid defense of it. My favorite so far is, "Why not?" But it is due to be superseded.

iKlsR

@Eric If I don't like something/someone.. then yeah.

This is a terrible feature request. It will totally kill the whole point of Thrills and Spills. Be sure to downvote it:

Q: Disable GIF Auto Play in chat?

I think that having the user to click the GIF to play it in the chatbox would make the experience more user-friendly and bandwidth-friendly. Can this be implemented here? I saw it on a few websites (well... 9gag). This would also make all the chat users more tolerant on GIF's and not dissalow or...

Eric

3:28 AM

@LoganM I have done so. This is a ridiculous proposal and must be destroyed.

Logan M

@Eric I was thinking of posting an answer as a response, but given that I have absolutely no MSO rep (and I'd like to keep it that way), I decided against it.

If you want to post it, though, I'll happily write something.

Krazer

@LoganM you get the satisfaction of participation

Logan M

@Krazer I definitely don't want to participate on MSO. There are too many people who I dislike there.

Krazer

@LoganM What do you want to say? I'll be your voice

Eric

Oh, Krazer volunteered. That works! :D

Logan M

3:44 AM

@Krazer Here's the post I wrote. Feel free to do whatever you want with it.

I'm really not seeing what problems this would fix, and it would certainly cause me some minor ones.

This would break my workflow. I often keep chat on one screen while I'm at work. I'll occasionally glance at it to follow the conversations. Forcing me to move my mouse all the way to the chat window and click just to play a GIF is a rather big waste of time. I'd probably still do it, but you've just wasted 10 seconds of my time moving my mouse.

Moreover, the click-to-start, click-to-stop behavior breaks the existing functionality where I can click on an image and see the original at full …

A: Disable GIF Auto Play in chat?

What problems would this implementing this feature really fix? The occasional gif in chat happens too infrequently in chat to disrupt the general flow of discussions in chat. Even if it happened en masse, one could always flag it as spam or for moderator attention, if such an action is merited. ...

Who are all these people who are upvoting this proposal? Do they even use chat? The only disruptive thing in chat is the constant (and ugly-sounding) ping noises.

@MadaraUchiha Get off Stack Overflow and get back to work.

Madara Uchiha

@Eric Work?

Give me work to do, and I'll do it :-|

And no, kicking Pride's ass is not work. It's playtime.

♪ Off to Shower :D ♪

Eric

@MadaraUchiha Work is usually something achievable. Playtime is more for experimentation and imagination. So I can see why you'd say that.

Yeeees, go shower... I'll take over the world while you're gone.

JNat

@Eric as if Father would let you...

Eric

@JNat Father is with his God now. Unless I take over his persona. I haven't decided yet if I will.

I would much rather consume him, gain his powers, and retain my form.

Q: What are good series to ask about for Summer 2013?

The summer season of anime starts soon (most premiers are in July). Currently airing series tend to generate a lot of interest and consequently a lot of traffic, so it would be good if we could get some high-quality questions about them. However, we also need those questions to get answered well,...

discussion

Eric

@MadaraUchiha I do believe you underestimate me.

Logan M

IMO the question isn't which of you is stronger, but who is more moe. I find both of you rather lacking in that department.

Eric

@LoganM That depends; can only girls be moe? (In your opinion)

Logan M

@Eric No. Traps are clearly moe.

Eric

5:57 PM

@LoganM But only "girl-looking characters"?

Logan M

@Eric No, there are moe reverse traps as well.

Eric

Oh, awesome. That's good news, I guess.

Logan M

I think it's possible for a human male character who looks male to still be moe also, but I can't think of any examples at the moment.

Maybe Jacuzzi qualifies.

Eric

@LoganM pix plz

Logan M

Eric

6:05 PM

Ah, okay.

Also, I'm excited for Ro-Kyu-Bu! SS.

Logan M

@Eric Post that on the meta post.

Personally, while I'll probably watch Ro-Kyu-Bu SS, I think the series I'm looking forward to the most is High School DxD NEW. The first season was amazing, and they have plenty more great material to work with for the second season.

Eric

I haven't even see the first season of that.

Also, I wonder why Shingeki no Kyojin is in OVAs/specials.

Logan M

@Eric Prologue OVA is being released (bundled with volume 11 of manga)

Eric

Ah, gotcha.

I think that series is one we need more questions on in general. It seems very popular.

Logan M

Most of the things in OVAs and specials are recently aired things which are getting side stories adapted as OVAs or DVD specials. It's a very common marketing tactic nowadays.

As for HS DxD, I think it's one of the few very fanservicey anime which is positively received by almost everyone. Personally I think it's a masterpiece, but most people automatically rate things a bit lower because of fanservice. Even with that factored in, I've never heard anyone complain that the show is bad.

Krazer

6:21 PM

Eric

I don't like overwhelming fanservice. It has its place, but "everywhere" is not that.

If it's not too bad in that regard, I might check it out.

@Krazer What the.

Logan M

@Eric Overwhelming fanservice implies that there's something else more important than fanservice. In any case, I don't think the fanservice overwhelms the plot or character development. However, if by "overwhelming" you just mean a lot, then there certainly is a lot. It's roughly comparable to Queen's Blade in terms of the amount, though everything else about DxD (animation quality, plot, characters) are really far better.

I generally put it in the same category as shows like Clannad, Steins;Gate, Mushishi, and Fate/Zero, though I think most people wouldn't rate it that highly.

Eric

@LoganM IMO, there are more important things than fanservice. If there weren't, I'd just watch porn.

Logan M

I don't know what you're writing. It doesn't make much sense in Japanese AFAICT.

jkerian

given the characters, I was assuming Chinese

Krazer

@iKlsR 哭什么呀

Eric

Hey @jkerian :D

Logan M

@jkerian Ah, if it's Chinese then I have no idea. I assumed Japanese since it's here, but since it doesn't make much sense in Japanese I think you're right.

Krazer

@iKlsR 那就去睡会儿吧

iKlsR

@Krazer 我打算在几个

Krazer

@iKlsR 在几个什么？

It's that time again! Next Saturday's (6/15/13) flavor is "parodies" and "cross-references!" If you have a flavor to propose, do it here! Go break down that third-wall!

JNat

6:48 PM

@Krazer shouldn't we space Flavor Days a bit more, given the lack of popularity it has had? Especially given the last two week's (very) low popularity?

I had discussed with @Eric and @LoganM that we should do it once every two weeks

Krazer

@JNat oh sorry I missed this

JNat

we'd announce the Flavor more than one week ahead, so that people could have more time to think about more and better questions

@Krazer no problem

@Krazer we'll do it next week, then. Unless this Flavor were to be the Flavor for the 15th, instead of this Sat.

we'd do a "answer unanswered questions day" between every two Flavor Days

Krazer

@JNat we can extend it to be flavor of the week

i dunno what you'e discussed

Eric

Want to just edit the pinned message to say 6/15/13? I'm okay with doing that.

Silly @JNat, you were supposed to tell everyone xD

JNat

@Krazer IMO, spacing them would be better than extending the time-span of each Flavor

@Eric I thought I had discussed it with @Krazer already

I must've forgotten

Logan M

6:54 PM

We just hit 1000 questions!

Krazer

@JNat or maybe I forgot?

@LoganM horrray!

Q: Is Sakamoto human?

At the end of chapter 4, Sakamoto has some ambiguous dialogue: Is he implying by this that he is not human? Or is he just stating that he finds other humans interesting?

Eric

@LoganM Good choice for the 1,000th.

Logan M

@Eric Sadly I think it can not be definitively answered currently, but luckily such questions are still okay here.

JNat

@Krazer no, it was me who forgot:

2 days ago, by JNat

@LoganM yeah, I'll talk to him later

I never did

Logan M

6:59 PM

That question also put me at 6666 rep. lol

Eric

DEVIL!

JNat

@Krazer Well, should we keep that Flavor for this week? Or leave it for the 15th and have another event this week?

Krazer

@JNat How do you guys wish to proceed?

JNat

I think it'd be better to postpone the next Flavor Day (just one week), and have a "Answer unanswered questions day" (or some other thing)

@Eric, @LoganM and @everyoneelse?

Krazer

All in favor, type "loli"

JNat

7:03 PM

loli

Krazer

all opposed, mention "ishihara"

going once! .... going twice ... motion passes!

well done

JNat

lol, with just one vote?

Krazer

twas one to nothing

Eric

Too loli, too late. :(

JNat

@Krazer, @Eric, @LoganM well then, "unanswered questions day" this Saturday? Or do we simply take a rest for a week?

Q: What's the meaning of the spell's name that Wendy uses to cure Natsu's vehicle-sickness?

In chapter 152 Wendy cures Natsu's sickness for vehicles. When doing this enchantment/spell she says TROIA: What does that mean? Is it just a random word? I ask this because troia is the Italian word for whore but, I hope, it isn't related to this.(I'm reading the manga in English, so that's ...

Only 5 starred messages in the last half hour. NBD.

Eric

@LoganM How large is your screen? o_o

I can still see 6 non-pinned.

Logan M

Also, loli.

@Eric I'm on a laptop. I think it's a 17.1" screen. I'm also in a dozen or so other chatrooms which take up a lot of space.

Eric

Ah, yeah. That'd do it.

7:19 PM

@LoganM better?

Logan M

If I click "show more" then I can see some.

@JNat Yeah now I can get one starred message. lol

Q: Who began the war with the Hideauze?

I just began watching Suisei no Garugantia and didn't understand why there is that unexplained (at least so far) war against the Hideauze aliens. Who attacked first, and for what reason?
