It looks like it'll be even more confusing than the other games, looking forward to it

It's clearly a funyarinpa

@zipzit, there's a few flagged answers on your question, so that's probably why it got protected.

Bose-Einstein condensate is a bit long.

Oops, mixed it up with another post apparently. :/

That answer wasn't written by him.

I think the fact that it was linked makes it relevant.

I'm pretty sure the description of the feature-request process is why

The answer was linked, not the question

It kinda describes what they want in feature requests

uh

I know, just saying that question bounties aren't going to lead to personal preferences skewing the site any more than currently..

Giving the points to the asker would actually lessen that, if anything.

Well, keep in mind that bounties are already designed to draw attention to questions.

In that regard, anyway.

I don't think it's actually a big issue, the point is that giving bounties to questions wouldn't add a new problem.

Well, if you read his last link that's apparently true to some extent.

I believe "exactly what he's looking for" is an exploration of the topic rather than a one-line suggestion.

I was talking about q_a's post - bounties and stronger upvotes shouldn't be conflated, one can be a good idea without the other one being good.

They're not the same thing, you just proposed both of them to serve a single goal.

q_a, that was in response to Wesley who was saying something different.

Oh, really? Weird.

If the question's deleted you get your rep back, not sure about if it's closed.

Questions are more likely to subsequently be closed/deleted, I guess.

Increased upvote value might.

I feel like bounties on existing questions specifically wouldn't have a huge effect on the general number of questions posted.

Ah, okay. Didn't realise feature requests were treated differently.

Maybe answer that one?

And I feel like it was asking for discussion from other Puzzling users and just... didn't get any.

The bounties question was the only one I saw in reference to that topic, yeah.

I thought we were talking about bounties, not upvotes.

I was under the impression that we were meant to discuss it on Puzzling Meta and then use that consensus as a basis for a feature request.

When?

Once?

Then make a question asking whether it would be a good idea, and answer with why it would be.

It's only had one question about it on Meta that I can see, and that had no answers.

Meta is the official avenue to get opinions from users, I can understand why mods would want something discussed on it.

I'm saying he wasn't seriously putting us in the same category as them.

He was referring to sites which hid technical answers until you paid for membership, I think he was just saying it was ironic that we basically hide answers by default.

I don't usually look at riddles, but I check out ones with negative votes just to see how bad they are

Might be a trainwreck thing

Sorry, I only specialise in 36-character anagrams.

The Unexpected Fate.

What if I tell you that Fate will happen on the day next week that you least expect it

That vote might have been before the image was included, too.

This site does not, in general, have a high opinion of MENSA-style pattern-matching problems.

It's San Diego, isn't it

I was just using all three words in two consecutive Vigenere encryptions.

Giving us "fidlcyrbtun".
