Harder to say much about PPCG. At least some of the voters didn't appear to be bots when they first started getting reset votes.

Question bounties? :o

Q: Is it physically possible to turn a mahjong tile white with a super grip?

In the manga Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku, the protagonist Junichiro Koizumi is able to use "goumoupai", the ability to turn any mahjong tile into a white/haku tile simply by gripping it with immense strength, usually leaving the tile dented. Sure, the manga frequently goes overboard with the abilities...

@Eric Looking into it further, Users actually increases if you do nothing at high traffic levels. So long as you don't spam downvotes, you should be able to get through graduated site phase without any upvotes except when you're in the red.

Figured. It didn't seem to do anything important.

Yeah, the only thing it does afaict is keep you from dying.

Speaking of all this, PPCG is up again and they're still #1 on the leaderboard.

So eventually, it should be like 1/2 answer, 1/3 downvote, 1/6 ask.

@Eric They've been going for a while now.

in The Bridge, 4 hours ago, by 0-frame links

@AshleyNunn Well, I have undisputable proof anime.SE is behind this

Interesting?

nah I saw it 4 hours ago

Yeah, was just flagged now.

guy has no idea what he's talking about. But I don't feel like arguing with idiots in a room I don't frequent.

Just saying, you guys should definitely not validate that. StackEgg has already ticked off a lot of my "this is making me angry" flags. Abusing the chat flag system will not help matters.

I didn't validate it.

Don't know who did.

3:46 AM

@LoganM Reworded it to be less accusatory.

Okay, it wasn't validated.

I invalidated it. I pretty much invalidate every flag unless we actually need mods.

Your bot legion broke. It refuses to restart after a win.

I would have voted "not offensive" but I'm pretty conservative these days with flags from rooms I don't frequent, since I have binding votes and all.

@Rainbolt Yeah that's an annoying issue that @Eric still hasn't fixed for some reason.

It still wasn't fixed that time?

3:48 AM

nope

Just thought I should ping someone. I watched it go around three times before I said something.

we would have noticed eventually, but thanks.

Oh, for the love of...

I found the issue.

And updated

:/

That guy's the same guy who we explained that we don't view this as a competition at all.

There's just no reasoning with some people.

Who is the same guy?

3:55 AM

@Rainbolt @Runer112 apparently

Are you confusing me with runer112 again?

in The Nineteenth Byte, 4 mins ago, by Runer112

anime are not good samaritans, as they want to crush the contest with their bots

VTC StackEgg as offensive

@Rainbolt No, not really.

@Rainbolt no i couldn't be bother typing the name so i just used the @ ping to auto complete

3:56 AM

Oh good

i do it to HoiHoi-san sometimes because i want to get the h's right

user image

I think the biggest problem with StackEgg is that they made it a network-wide thing. There's too much ego involved as soon as you're pitting sites against each other.

alright, we got to 10 with sheer human will

I'm happy with that

your botnet can claim first place now

@Runer112 Right.

3:58 AM

@Runer112 actually you didn't

in The Nineteenth Byte, 50 mins ago, by Runer112

griefed by our own bot

you own bot?

Let's just stop arguing.

as you can tell, it wasn't very good

and basically did nothing to help

in The Nineteenth Byte, 32 mins ago, by GiantCowFilms

https://gist.github.com/GiantCowFilms/836d4cb31de8ae87ab7f

and nobody uses that

as you'd be able to tell by our wildly split votes sometimes

Kind of suspicious that a bot was made for nobody to use…

3:59 AM

lots of human error

he made it

Or different bots?

we downvoted him where he posted it

hides the evidence under the table and shuffles away slowly

and told him we weren't going to use it

thanks for backing me up, Rainbolt

This isn't a banding thing.

I'm here because... well... I don't really know. Just to hang out I guess

4:00 AM

and i'm done, i made a little bet that he would come back and gloat that they wasn't using bots. now that i won the bet i can ignore him

I do watch a lot of anime

you guys are really friendly

great embodiment of what stackexchange is about

Friendly is good. I like friends.

@bjb568 Please don't pull a message from this morning. Please don't pull a message from this morning. Please don't pull a message from this morning.

though it's weird to see people double post with a space between their posts and no dotted line

Because yea... this morning I was all about that raid. I even got chat suspended for it FOUR HOURS LATER.

@Rainbolt Welcome to the just-want-to-chill-here-because-it's-nice club

Oh wait. That does look weird. I meant this isn't a banding thing like we aren't here to form the PPCG posse inside of Anime club.

I mean... just in case there was any confusion.

SO HOW ABOUT THAT SUMMER ANIME LIST? I HAVE TO SAY THAT I'M NOT TERRIBLY INTERESTED IN ANYTHING ON THERE. WELL, AT LEAST NOTHING REALLY GRABS MY ATTENTION.

4:03 AM

Nevermind :-/

@Yuuki Link?

in The Nineteenth Byte, 3 mins ago, by Calvin's Hobbies

@PhiNotPi Here's the requested bot. It waits til there's 1 second left then clicks the option with the most votes. Defaults to Ask in a tie.

@Rainbolt Should be pinned.

Summer Anime 2015

@Yuuki Non Non Biyori will be the best series in summer this year.

Not even any serious competition.

My monitor is extremely tiny. You have at least three pinned posts. If I leave a few rooms I can probably see more.

But keep in mind... not everyone's transcript is the same length

@bjb568 as you can probably tell, that strategy doesn't really help at all, except to rarely edge out nothing/restart ties

4:04 AM

Yeah, 5 pinned posts is excessive.

Durarara? Maybe. Haven't seen it myself though.

@Sp3000 You'll have to watch the first season, probably.

if no human votes for a useful option, it won't either

DRRR is very good, but it's really far in.

And then the first part of the second season.

I really don't watch much anime these days.

4:06 AM

Yes, you've got 3 cours to catch up on before you can watch the one that airs in the summer.

It's mostly manga now since I read faster than I watch.

I'm sure I'll end up watching half the shows that air then, but none of them look very interesting right now except a few sequels.

I will probably watch at least one episode of Chaos Dragon

It's the only one under the fantasy action genres right?

I meant what might be popular in summer :P

Not sure what I'd watch myself though, not great first impressions

God Eater will probably be the most hyped series because ufotable. No guarantees it'll actually be good though.

4:08 AM

@LoganM I didn't particularly like the game.

Although that's probably because it was a horribly done Monster Hunter clone.

The impression I got was like that.

Ish. Clone-ish.

I read the description for God Hunter and decided it would be a mecha probably. Is it?

But it does have better character design IMO. Monster Hunter is too 3d for me.

@LoganM Fund Eater, Money Eater. dam not nearly as good as Unlimited Money Works or Unlimited Fund Works

4:10 AM

@Rainbolt Not especially, at least from what I know.

I will probably watch it too

@Rainbolt Nope.

I'm guessing you're thinking mecha because "weapons called God Arcs"?

God Arcs are actually handheld weapons. Modular things that switch between a gun mode and a sword mode.

And have some special attack that turns into a giant mouth to bite pieces off the monsters.

Q: Can women be Makai Knights?

We know that both men (e.g. Mendoza) and women (e.g. Ema) can be Makai Priests. And, of course, men can be Makai Knights (Leon, Alfonso, Germán, ...). But can women be Makai Knights? In episode 24 of Garo: Honoo no Kokuin, This seems to suggest that women cannot be Makai Knights. Is this in...

@ton.yeung I just rectified a potential deployment disaster, other wise I'd write a small paper on it

hmm, it's apparently Marisa

Yeah, it's a weird Marisa fanart.

@LoganM i wouldn't say weird. i like her clothing style.

we now have a restart troll. Doesn't seem to be doing much, but worth keeping an eye on.

4:26 AM

*image pops into head of Marisa dressed like that as the groom at her's and Reimu's wedding*

man, should really start looking to getting into Touhou sometime soon

Of all the possible pairings, why would you pick Marisa x Reimu?

@LoganM i only know 3 characters, Reimu, Marisa and Remilia

...

plz learn thyself some more touhous.

@LoganM reason why i said

1 min ago, by Memor-X

man, should really start looking to getting into Touhou sometime soon

been meaning to for quite a while

At the very least, you should learn the playable characters in the main series.

4:30 AM

My experience with Touhou is basically a lot of doujin music and failing at easy mode :(

That easy mode.

Q: what's the name of a anime series

The series is about a boy who's best friend's father was the worlds most wanted man but when she was being born her father whent to the hospital to see her but was killed and his soul was transferred to the boy when he was born which was the same day and place which gave the boy a scar and now t...

identification-request

Easy mode really is easy if you go about it the right way. But most people who try don't know how to do it right.

When you're learning, you should plan to bomb lots of spells. Don't even try to capture them. If you do that, you'll find the resources they give you are actually quite generous to beat the game.

Hmmm k. Now I feel like playing...

(If I can find where I put the files)

Q: Which sites should we raid next?

As you know, StackEgg is a game in which each site tries to grow their egg whilst surviving raids from other sites. This thread will be our planning center. Put in the answers proposed targets and times. Vote up if you can join in. Put in the comments when other sites are planning to raid us so w...

No need to post it, it's getting VTC'd

4:44 AM

@bjb568 well that convinced me that we should turn off our bots /s

April 1st 2015. after every logged in user used a StackEgg Bot on the Anime and Manga Stack Exchange Site, at 11:59 PM the running of every bot began to meld into the next Chat Bot that posted, giving them life as an AIDA

!!lolis

Lolis are the best!

i would have thrown my computer if Taisho had posted then

anime wallpapers 1000 of them, grouped by series

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ you have them?

4:57 AM

imgur.com/a/B9zSo

2

@Memor-X yes

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ is that link you posted them?

@Memor-X you should check to make sure

Or, you know, just scrape konachan.com to get everything.

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ oh yeh, i just looked at the first couple which looked like scenery images and scrolling down i see it is now

@LoganM if i develop a script that'll do it for me then i will

@Memor-X it's easy

I believe that you can do it

5:03 AM

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ oh i can do it, just when i'll do it is another thing, i want to make some scripts for downloading scanlations and doujinshi from sites like dynasty-scan and mangafox first

> mangafox

hq sources only pls

user image

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ if i knew any i would use them, mangafox, manga-trader, nanofate and yuri-ism are the sites i use for anything that's not been localized

@Taisho Compared to your other images, this is a tad NSFW.

use batoto at least, they might not have it all but it's fair trade scanations

@Eric nah they're covered

just don't let a mad see it

5:10 AM

Riiiight... :P

i'm tempted to post this as a comment to one of the answers on that results meta post

"ofcause we have bots, One is called HoiHoi-san and one is Taisho. i like Taisho for it's posting cute Shoujo Ai/Yuri images i wont have anyone say anything bad about our cute HoiHoi-san"

A: When something that was supposed to be fun became not fun

What about bots guys ? So yesterday everyone in SE went all furious about how PPCG was raiding other sites and how it was not at all fun and how it was against the spirit of the game! And here we have anime who are not even playing the game and simply running bots to do the job. Speculatively, ...

^more people claiming that us having fun on our own site in our own way is somehow a problem for them when they don't even use the site, as well as perpetuating the false claim that we have anything to do with raiding them.

Nooooz! My computer at home is sleeping.

It's free for all now, since PPCG already won. — Unihedro 35 secs ago

5:21 AM

I'm not going to argue with them, but feel free to do so on your own if you're less drama-averse than I am.

@LoganM i would like to find some way to confirm that StackOverflow has bots running, i doubt anyone would complain us using them if SE is using them

@Memor-X Of course there are bots all over the place.

It seems there are some (more) griefers over here.

Every program is a bot.

@LoganM i mean for StackEgg

5:22 AM

(which is to say, there's no realistic difference)

@Memor-X You mean other sites? Or you mean SE themselves?

It would be hard to prove for other sites apart from PPCG themselves and Arqade, both of whom started using bots for many of the same reasons we did (i.e. to combat against bot raids).

@LoganM most likely on themselves as i highly expected SE to have developed one from the very beginning.

I doubt they'd bother.

possibly for testing, but I doubt SE employees are playing with StackEgg a whole lot.

That one was really pushing it. I'm not going to flag because I'm indirectly involved, but I really would have considered it otherwise.

ahh wrong acronym, i mean SO, StackOverflow

You just mean SO users?

Who knows?

yeh

5:27 AM

possibly someone is botting it. Not especially well though.

Restart votes are skyrocketting. Up to 3 currently.

Yup, by bots.

All the restart votes come together.

Or did last time, anyway. There's at least one bot.

I wonder when they'll move to the Flag option.

4 votes that time.

Yup, up to 4 reset votes.

They hit 40% that time.

If only @Hakase would wake up and update his bot.

you guys sound awfully worried for not caring at all about the final scores

The bots were initially designed to prevent raids.

5:38 AM

(for the record, I'm not voting to close)

If they fail to prevent raids, they've failed.

restart, even

@Runer112 I'm worried about losing the egg, not about a low score.

(not especially, mind you)

you should consider updating your bot to only protect the egg, then

@Eric what, and make @Taisho go rabid and start killing people with images of pantsu

5:40 AM

if that's its purpose

The purpose is to have fun.

@Memor-X Different bot.

user image

I'm up!

@Hakase set your bot loose on all those who bad mouth HoiHoi-san!

5:45 AM

@Hakase Update bot immediately plz

*puts North on head and charges into battle*

@LoganM it's already done

thx

I can't see is golf losing?

did they stop playing?

Yup. They hit 10 and quit. They basically won anyway, they had a superior strategy and overcame being raided.

5:47 AM

PPCG has been consistently griefed, but I think has finally thrown in the towel

oh, nevermind, apparently we haven't

but I have, because I'm not too hopeful of surpassing your strategy

@Eric PPCG, they won before they hit 10

@Memor-X Depends what you define as winning. There really is no winning in this.

@Eric well this says they won

A: When something that was supposed to be fun became not fun

Code Golf has won the game Yeah. Code Golf is the winner of Stack Egg and can now enjoy the rest of the day basking in the admiration of the Stack Exchange network. We are as surprised as anyone that the game is over even before April 1 reached the timezones of most users, but the facts are unde...

@Memor-X Yeah, but the reason I don't like that is because he picked an arbitrary time to post it. Strategies were still changing. Arqade could potentially have taken them over.

He doesn't even say what the criteria is or was.

> We are as surprised as anyone that the game is over even before April 1 reached the timezones of most users, but the facts are undeniable.

What facts? lol

@Eric i assume it was the leader-board, PPCG can tie us on internet wins but win on the average days to win

5:52 AM

What did i miss? :/

@EroSɘnnin drama

@Memor-X I don't think they got their 235 so early. But there was also no evidence that 235 couldn't have been beaten.

Anyway, I have to go. I'll be leaving my browser open tonight. Hopefully it won't break everything when the event ends.

@Memor-X That's (somewhat poorly written) satire. Or at least I think it is. He's poking fun at the concept of winning at all in something like this.

@Memor I'm always the last one to know :'(

@LoganM oh, ok then scratch what i said then

Septian Primadewa

5:55 AM

i cant find the stackegg everywhere

@Hakase @Eric We haven't stopped playing. This time is usually off peak for us and from past 12 hours we have been constantly getting raid by 3-4 restart users/bots. So for around 1 hour there, we were simply getting restarted, but we are back on track now.

oh good

I mean… we're kind of on equal terms now

having been raided n such

I won't call this equal

but yeah, we both have 10 wins

yeah, well, whatever, it's the closest it gets after everything now :p

Yeah, for it to be equal, we have to be comparable, and this isn't anywhere near any sort of competition.

5:58 AM

Who's winning? Cant see leaderboards since I'm using the phone

Define "winning".

I don't even have a golf account

you guys care so much about winning

By Jon Ericson's statement, PPCG already won.

I don't care about winning, I only care for the top place

5:59 AM

@Optimizer if you say so.

@EroSɘnnin is it the second of April for you?
