@ShadowWizard actually I was checking if chat let me post same message again and again in some cases. Please check above messages for example. Chat let me post same message exactly two times, if I am posting after a certain time interval

@berserk time should try some vodka instead :P

@ShadowWizard tails

Shadow Wizard

7:26 AM

@DroidDev that's right, why is this a bug?

@DroidDev heads (bit NSFW ;))

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard because otherwise, chat doesn't allow posting the exact same message more than one time. In this case it allows exact same message to be posted twice

haha

@ShadowWizard boobs

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev pretty

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard lovable

@DroidDev Mmmm! @ShadowWizard tastes just like raisin

:-D

DroidDev

haha, eggzaktly :P

wonders why browser shows eggzaktly as wrong spelling

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard they are a symbol of your vocation/destiny.

some are pretty clear, some are a little more... "intricate"

so it is more "see the vocation and you will understand the mark" than the opposite.

Any helps here ?

@Computerone yeah, it's some sort of automatic process for beta sites. Will look for official info when having some more time and will post answer if nobody will be faster. :)

@ShadowWizard Thanks !

Q: Strategies for handling beta community quality evaluations

Periodically, the Community Team will evaluate the quality of a beta site. In addition to examining general site traffic stats and Meta activity, we check the content quality by selecting 10 random open questions with at least one answer from the past 30-40 days to see how their answers compare t...

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev me? yup. Next goal is goldie for feature-request :D

@ShadowWizard thanks but please do not vote to delete, I might need it for future reference or else I might end up in asking the question second time without being aware of the duplicate..

DroidDev

@Computerone you can star the original question and it will be in your favorites forever :)

Shadow Wizard

@Computerone sure, like I said - better leave it there alive, though closed as dupe. :)

Computer one

Thanks !

Marked the originals as favorite, now it can be deleted...

@DroidDev @FOX9000 :P

@DroidDev 10 points actually, +1 for Q is worth 5 reps

@Computerone also feel free to join the WAG here if you like :D

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev lol, no big deal ;)

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard love :P

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev hmm? what so special about it? kids leave mess behind them, that's a common fact :P

@DroidDev relationship

DroidDev

8:59 AM

@ShadowWizard maybe because I am not a parent yet(and won't be for another couple of years either), I can still laugh about it :P

I imagine you laughing at me once I am a parent :/

@ShadowWizard sex

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev lol, hard to imagine you as parent but guess this will happen sooner or later indeed :P

@DroidDev gender ;)

Q: Vanquishing a Nightmare Wolf

My luckless wanderer (I believe we agreed to call her Alice) won her struggle at the Morrow Castle, gathering more tools and knowledge to help her in her quest. This next challenge will test her abilities (and ours, as worldbuilders) like never before. The creature she is to face next is not of...

@SPArchaeologist non grata

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard actually, was thinking of the game with the same name

Shadow Wizard

can't know that :/

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist I wonder if that user is really worldbuilding or just helping in site building. Because if he has to ask this many question for every quest, I don't think he can build a world

SPArchaeologist

well.... he has the opposite view than mine. I actually often think of world that will never be written because I prefer to keep them for myself. He is risking having his world actually begin made up integrally by others.

DroidDev

11:20 AM

well...I am officially calling it the end of world

Q: Are flying plants possible?

Is it possible for a plant to have the ability to fly? More exactly, the plant would either need to live without having roots (and she would never need to touch the ground), or with the ability to re-root herself in another location form time to time, or maybe a plant that has a permanent socle...

flora flying

that thing has made it to HNQ

@SPArchaeologist getting your world written by others. Not a cool thing

berserk

It might be more appropriate to call it floating, since the energy required for what is more traditionally thought of as flying, would be too much for a plant.

lol this line

too much for a plant :P

DroidDev

well...visit the site for more comedy :P

berserk

*If it's a carnivorous plant, it's more likely to be something like a jellyfish floating in the air. Capturing unaware birds and insects. There is a version of these carnivore-hydrogen-gas-bag in Shards of Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold. *

lmao

DroidDev

11:42 AM

capturing unaware bird is my favorite part there. Yes, everyone is quite blind in that world and can never see a jellyfish(the thing with no eyes) floating around

@Dro @SPA @ber many new sites are going through this phase, with questions getting tons of upvotes and answers and attention and thus makes it to the HNQ list often. It happened with Code Golf and I even reported it, lol

feature-request status-declined hot-questions

good part is, that it always dies away on its own when people lose interest in the site or whatever campaign that triggered those questions :)

DroidDev

I reserve the right to change my mind on this if I see more indication that folks on SO are starting to perceive CG as a site for homework questions.

well...rights well reserved

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev haha, true ;)

I didn't really expect my request to get so much attention, was surprised Shog even bothered to reply :)

DroidDev

the thing with that answer is, it is pretty localized and doesn't take full SE into account

Shadow Wizard

11:51 AM

@DroidDev you mean @Shog's answer? Well, my question was specific to PCG so it was expected. but this new influx of HNQ from WB looks the same, minus the trolling part maybe :D

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard actually, I would've never bothered to ask a question, even if the thing is on my mind for long time. I see some bugs on site, the most I do is post a screenshot. But you are truly dedicated :)

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev oh, well... Many books weren't written by the person their covers claim... yet they are all getting sold and make money.

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev lol, thanks! (I guess ;))

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist haha, talk about the unfair world and discussion will never end

@ShadowWizard lol, anytime :P

SPArchaeologist

12:35 PM

@DroidDev do not get me started about "unfair world"

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist as you say

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev considering that my daily routine is "doing my work and the work others didn't" I prefer to avoid such discussions.

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist well...we might find some common grounds then. But, better not, because these never ending discussions will never yield anything. I have chosen to ignore lot of things and hence am mostly very frustrated or totally ok

DroidDev

1:03 PM

440 upvotes and its locked since two years!!

funny thing, that guy doesn't have that many votes on any of his question or answer

SPArchaeologist

and for something completely different....
