@SPArchaeologist 3? Didn't it start only a week ago?

(or is it more than one per week?)

@ShadowWizard Premiere was April 4.

but premiere is always a double episode

so, the second week is episode --3--

Anyway, Twily falling asleep on a pancake and using it as a pillow...

@SPArchaeologist really? Never noticed.... D:

@SPArchaeologist haha, sounds funny indeed :D

@ShadowWizard have you ever watched an episode? how would you notice otherwise?

@SPArchaeologist I don't watch many TV shows, and forget things like how long each episode takes. Most recent I watched is new season of House of Cards, and I don't think the first episode took 1.5 hours. But maybe I'm wrong..

(or did you mean premiere of MLP new seasons only?)

@Pro how come the bot doesn't identify its own post as last? ^

8:35 AM

@ShadowWizard because it's two words

But...

SilentKiller

strange can answer with two words but can't identify ? :/

@SilentKiller the latest word check is in an entirely different code part than the reply part, that's why

@ShadowWizard Yeah, but that's because it adds the word to that list at another location than it sets the latest word. The reason is that it cannot know a message ID at the moment of posting.

@SPArchaeologist yeah, lots of Nadias out there. I wasn't looking on previous word actually ;P

@ShadowWizard one of my favourite anime characters back then.

@SPArchaeologist funny, and the Nadia I linked was one of my favorite athletes back then :)

(I followed many sport branches as a teenager, don't ask me why :))

@ShadowWizard actually it was more about liking how paranoid the character was. That and me having a necklace with a small bluewater stone on it back then

@ShadowWizard I was working on that once. Turns out implementing the cap is non-trivial (but shouldn't be impossible). Also you can only approximate rep from upvotes/downvotes, since you can't tell if votes were on questions vs. answers.

Also I had a brain fart after I woke up this morning and deleted my comment that you linked to for no apparent reason...

whoops, SPA won't be happy :/

@FOX9000 penetration

@ShadowWizard gifted

@ShadowWizard My fault (sorry, I'm tired), I didn't mean upvotes/downvotes, I meant downvotes, and I meant downvotes cast. You can't tell if a user has cast a down vote on a question vs. an answer. The Votes table has null user ids for privacy. You can only get a user's total up and down vote count, but you can't get information on how many of those votes are on questions vs. answers, and casting a dv on an answer costs 1 rep.

@FOX9000 hung

5:45 PM

@ShadowWizard phone

But you can put an upper bound on the error at least. At least a user lost 0 rep by dv'ing answers, at most they lost the total number of downvotes they've ever cast (available in Users table). So it's not too bad.

@JasonC oh, I see now. Too bad, however for the purpose of Mortarboard badge it doesn't matter very much, right?

@FOX9000 public

@ShadowWizard emolument

Yeah, it wouldn't matter for that badge if the badge is based blindly on vote counts.
