Hello, is anyone there?

Hello!

What are you doing today?

Studying for finals, mostly. That's what's been taking up most of my time recently. :/

How about you?

Ah. That's what I should be doing. Unfortunately, I've been trying to figure something out, which would explain why I failed.

'Tis the season for finals, isn't it...

6:32 PM

Yep. [splitting headache] Ouch.

@BaileyM Not since December, no. @leoll2 and I tried to reactivate it recently, but it seems to have slumped back in the last week or so.

7:42 PM

I had too many things to do this week, that's why I couldn't answer enough puzzles and check the chat more than twice per day

I see that the chat name is still the green llama

Yeah, I was going to change it maybe some time this week to the highest-starred thing.

perhaps we could create a poll just to test if this works: meta.puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/3057/…

The chat name is not of vital importance, so we could make a test

user61230

I can see that going well

user61230

I think we did it once before, too...

user61230

Yup, our first meta question ever! meta.puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/1/name-the-chat-room

7:49 PM

Ah, that's where the name "green llama" comes from!

It's very sad that nobody tried to google it for a year

and we were all victims of a green ambigously disturbing creature

A name could be "The winged tiger". Any resemblance to Emrakul's icon is purely coincidental (or not?).

user61230

That sounds like a good name for a medieval tavern. "The Wingèd Tiger Inn & Tavern"

then Tyger instead of Tiger

more Blake

Ye Olde Wingèd Tiger Inn & Tavern

user61230

...I'm taking notes for my next RPG session.

We should totally (get someone to) rename the Tavern on the Meta to that.

@Doorknob I'm IRL friends with its creator. Could ask him to suddenly pop in and change it.

user61230

He hasn't posted there in years, though, so it might be a bit weird xD

@Emrakul Who's the creator? jcolebrand?

He must be a powerful wizard

Admin of Meta > Obama

@Doorknob Chacha/Tyler Carter

Still inferior to John Skeet, though...

ಠ_ಠ

I pray him night and day. May he free us from bugs and compilation errors!

user61230

Aww, why can't I have an altar where people pray to me :[

The puzzling altar is currently occupied by JoeZ, sorry

user61230

There is only one option... mod -> suspend

8:07 PM

Just realized that the altars are actually two...

user61230

Ah, good. Goood. Very good.
