Was it SE's sacking of the one mod...? I forgot their name

Is it because we've somehow asked everything under the sun?

At least during that period I was seeing around one or two questions a week

why is this SE so... inactive?

I wanted to ask something a while back in early June, but

Oh my this place is back finally

why can't we bounty questions on Meta?

but you'd be able to change between a shortsword and polearm, anyway?

....

this would probably affect weapon design, too.

e.g. it's not just a shifting weight

probably should clarify distribution of mass too

I wanted to know how it would affect multiple weapons; e.g. polearms AND swords

disregard the message

i literally

...

@VLAZ The original idea was "the ability to change shape AND mass distribution" but it did feel too broad(At that point, it probably would become just a grapple-fest between two weapons, anyway.) I did briefly consider specifying "Sword' but I wanted to know how it affect other weapons too(e.g. polearms) and weapon design itself

"How would the ability to change a weapon's shape and center of mass on the fly affect melee combat?"

since I already have two(!) questions fermenting in the sandbox, I'd like to have someone affirm if the following question is on-topic:

@AndyD273 what

goog

unfortunately I am now going to collapse from exhaustion

some of those forbidden edits got through and the ban lifted :)

I FEEL like these questions were poorlry worded(and in the case of the third one coming through, probably worthy of deletion) but they get the point across

that does beg the question though: should ANY of these tags have excerpts like this?

hmmmm

(I do plan on going back and detailing the wikis themselves later; the blurbs are a priority at the moment)

The only exceptions I see are tags like [internal-consistiency], which concerns the nature of the question itself, and not the problems addressed in it.

I just used similar wording to existing tags; most blurbs seem to be more focused on what the tag refers to

I'd open a meta question about it but I think I already know the answer; it's one of the things forced by SE itself

yes I get adding synonyms is a mod privilege but no one would have even known that dupe existed if I hadn't touched it

why can't we flag tags for adding synonyms?

still miffed tho because one of those wasn't actually a bad edit

oh well

man I've gotten edit-banned because I hit the 5 reject limit

I know higher-carbon steel is usually more brittle

*can be denser

@JourneymanGeek yeah I get that the carbon interrupts crystal structure and prevents shearing and whatnot

wait steel isn't denser than iron?

as an actual question title it would probably be "Plausibility of alloys with 6th-period metals?

i know something similar was done with gold and titanium a while back

would it be plasusible to do the same thing with heavy metals(iridium etc)?

you know how steel can be denser than iron because carbon atoms can fit in the holes left by iron's crystal structure?

time for another pre-sandbox validation question that I am unsure how to word

i knew the question was too story-based

😔

@JBH idea: the history of this stack should be explained in a meta post
