Also one-boxing in our history doesn't look like that.

So it's a chat.meta thingy.

How do I one-box?

@JohnoBoy Just paste the question/answer link on its own.

Same goes for Wikipedia pages, YouTube videos, images and a couple others.

7:04 PM

@ArdaXi Ah, I posted a link eralier but it was in another message so that's why it probably didn't work, thanks.

Yeah, exactly.

The only thing it can be preceded by is :123456

Man, unless you work in an office with a mom who has a daughter in Girl Scouts, getting your hands on Girl Scout cookies is harder than getting your hands on crack.

@ArdaXi From what I can see, the HTML was manually placed there (not like the auto-oneboxing we have now). Could've been an old, broken implementation but it could've just as easily been Jeff dropping in the HTML himself

A: How can I play Excitebots on a UK Wii?

OK, I answered his question, I tried explaining without going too much into detail so I don't stray into the piracy territory

According to Wikipedia, Excitebots only came out in the US. If you do wish to play it however, I recommend you get a US copy from a store that ships to the UK (I use VideoGamesPlus to get my US games) and soft-mod your Wii to play games from all regions (you can also get a US Wii, but that'll be...

@MarkTrapp I remember we all had one-boxing then though.

user2334

7:15 PM

Must've been an early implementation, then. When you edit a one-box now, you just see the URL. Editing that message shows a bunch of divs

Umm, what is the number I'm seeing under my gravatar and nick? It's certainly not my reputation...

user2334

@JohnoBoy Your total rep across all SE sites

user2334

…taking into account heavy caching, of course

@MarkTrapp ah, makes sense, I got all of those 101 rep bonuses from logging into the occaisonal site...

@JohnoBoy Yeah, it threw me for a while too.

user2334

7:21 PM

That'll do it :) If you logged into all the sites on the network, that would pump your chat rep by ~8000

It's the 101 rep sites that really throw it off.

@MarkTrapp Which, when you think of it, could arguably be considered an exploit in the reputation system.

I mean, 8k Rep gets you flag review if you have even a token amount beyond the base on a few sites.

Well, you need to be active at least on one site to get the 101 bonuses, so it's not really given instantly

user2334

@LessPop_MoreFizz That's true. I don't remember off the top of my head and can't find the list, but I vaguely recall most chat features had low rep requirements anyway.

user2334

@JohnoBoy Only need 200 (or 250?) rep to get that bonus on all other sites

It's something. I would think it would take you at least a few good answers/question to reach that on any site, no?

7:25 PM

this comment is kind of needlessly rude. Oak did some heavy editing to the question (doesn't seem like english is the asker's first language), and it still took me probably 10-15 minutes worth of work to figure out the second name it was released under and link the two together.

user2334

@JohnoBoy Good point, but I offer up ronnie, who has 439 rep, as a counterpoint :)

@MarkTrapp Yeah, but ronnie is pro

@MarkTrapp last time I checked, ronnie's rep came mainly from an answer he gave that got heavily edited to pass muster.

I guess that's kind of a side effect of editing; you can turn kind of a marginal answer into a much better one that attracts many upvotes by cleaning it up and putting effort into it.

user2334

@agent86 Looks like every single one of his answers was heavily edited by others

Asking/answering skyrim questions seems to generate a lote of rep around here. It doesn't surprise me

@agent86 There should be a medal for editing a low scored answer into a high scored one :)

7:31 PM

@MarkTrapp yeah. kind of disguised his "poor" answers that way.

it's probably more of an exception than the rule though.

Q: What is this Steam Captcha?

0

I'm making an account on Steam and I have no absolute idea what the Captcha is. I've refreshed it several times and i still have no idea what I'm suppose to type. Anyone mind telling me what the characters are suppose to be? I just see a bunch of " | " and "_" scrambled across the page, some even...

steam

lolwut

I don't think this falls on any category...

user2334

@JohnoBoy That's how Skynet started. First they enslave humans to solve captchas, then they take over the world.

@JohnoBoy man, so many close reasons... I picked "too localized"

You're not the only one who couldn't decide

Huh, Google+ is letting me join still, even though I'm not even 17 yet...

7:39 PM

@MarkTrapp Enslave?

Actually, they put honeypot CAPTCHAs in front of free porn sites.

I assume Jonny B is really an alt-account for @OrigamiRobot. Trying to trick us into solving his captchas for him.

> Nice try, robot.

user2334

@ArdaXi You know, bend humans to their will to solve captchas. The nuclear launch codes are behind a captcha challenge

Q: Are Steam price cuts predictable?

hm, I'm surprised this question was never closed:

14

From observation, can I expect that a game will get a permanent price cut (or a weekend special deal) X weeks after its launch, or after the sales dropped by Y percent or whatever other reason?

Q: What Does 'Exit' Mean?

I've noticed a small square button hiding in the top right corner of my Die2Nite screen. It simply bears a red X and the ominous intonation, "EXIT" I fear greatly what would transpire if ever I clicked upon it. What severe fate awaits all ye who depress the button (What does it do)?

:(

Ronan Forman

@MarkTrapp I'm sorry.

user2334

7:49 PM

It's okay, I'll try to manage and live my life after this unspeakable tragedy.

@MarkTrapp We'd understand if you just couldn't go on anymore, and withdrew from the election, thus freeing up more votes for me.

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn This is all part of Ronan's masterplan.

user2334

@Wipqozn And just like that, I'm suddenly over it. It's a Gaming.SE miracle!

Actually, it looks like you couldn't withdraw anyways.

Oh, that was back when I liked Jeff.

@ArdaXi: I think I'll start quoting the second half of that message

> "I liked Jeff." - @ArdaXi

No, the second half of that message is "when I liked Jeff."

8:00 PM

@ArdaXi Too late, already pinned.

No changing it now.

@Wipqozn I know.

If we're being technical, the second half of that message is "vhen I liked Jeff."

the w is split in two you see.

Oh, huh. Pins are cumulative.

@LessPop_MoreFizz ba-dum tish

@agent86 badum-tish.com

@Wipqozn The pause button there is so useful. :P

@Wipqozn I've always preferred instantrimshot.com

@Wipqozn It cuts off too early.

8:16 PM

@RavenDreamer omg, your question is only 20 views behind mine now! How did this happen!??!?!

@spugsley F-5. F-5. F-5.

@LessPopMoreFizz last night I had a 200+ lead. I call shenanigans! lol

@spugsley Clearly, you need to go to a public library and/or internet cafe, and change the homepage to your question.

@LessPopMoreFizz obvi

Sounds like a plan!

I wish I'd picked up Amalur. I could be winning a chair right now.

8:18 PM

@LessPopMoreFizz also, it's super fun and you're missing out :)

@spugsley I should start linking everyone I know to @RavenDreamer question.

@LessPop_MoreFizz How about this. Ask a question, and then we can just start linking everyone we know to it! After you win the chair, we can split it!

@Wipqozn :(

@Wipqozn How do I split a chair?

@LessPopMoreFizz chainsaws are good for that

@LessPop_MoreFizz We can worry about that later.

8:23 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Both of you get really skinny?

@spugsley: What question of Raven's are you referring to anyways?

And which question of yours

mine is the zoom question: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/50002/…

In the city of Ysa, I was approached by Ambassador Keen, who gave me the Uprising quest, which requires me to assassinate Ambassador Brenner. However, if I speak to Ambassador Brenner about it, she in turn wants me to murder Ambassador Keen. Since letting them both lives earns me no experience po...

Q: What is the order of arrivals at each world in Birth By Sleep?

In Birth by Sleep, what is the order of character arrivals at each world? By that I mean, at each world, who arrives first, who arrives second, and who arrives third?

@spugsley That's not a zoom question at all.

@Lazers Are you sick?

8:27 PM

just kidding! Also, I'm wrong

Lookin' kind of green there...

I meant respec

and his is the max level question

@Ullallulloo It would explain why he's so slow lately.

@spugsley That race is heating up. I think you guys are like 20 votes apart or something

@Sterno I know!

8:29 PM

@spugsley I don't know if you've been to Ysa yet, but there are like 8 trainers there. It's awesome

@spugsley Okay. Just a second, going to post his question on all of our social networking sites...

@Wipqozn I will punch a baby in the face if you do that. It will hurt so bad

@Wipqozn and it will be your fault

@spugsley Oh, wow. I was just joking, but now I really want to do it!

@Wipqozn I have no words so I'm just going to make rage noises. ahem arhghghghghgghghghhhhhh

@spugsley You're hit #6 on Google for "Kingdoms of Amalur how do I respec?" @RavenDreamer is #2 for "Kingdoms of Amalur what is max level?"

@spugsley Rework your question to be more google friendly!

8:35 PM

@Sterno hmmmmmm

@Sterno that's an excellent plan.

I think I will change the title.

Heh, someone linked me Freeman's Mind again. Best LP ever.

Other than that Animal Crossing one maybe.

@spugsley What? Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of E-Mailing @RavenDreamer question to all my friends.

Of course, more views to your question means more chances for Stephen to get upvotes on his answer, and he's my main competition right now. Self-sabotage!

@Wipqozn The baby I'm punching says 'thanks a lot, you bastard'.

That baby has some advanced language skills.

8:38 PM

@Sterno I know! Pretty impressive.

@Sterno okay, I changed my question a bit. We'll see what happens. :)

@Wipqozn Need your face on the baby

I'd edit that to say "This is all Wipqozns fault." and "I love doing this"

but I'm far too lazy

@Sterno naw, she said punch a baby, not me.

@Wipqozn I'm just saying, there's got to be an underserved "see Wipqozn getting punched by spugsley" audience here that you could satisfy at the same time.

8:42 PM

@Wipqozn I got back on just so I can ragequit
