Hello one and all, and welcome to the home of the Legendary Food Critic!

3:47 PM

This is something we've done in the CalRef server before, but for those of you who are new: Floor 7 is a place of mystery and intrigue where every week (or thereabouts) we play to win.

3:48 PM

The prize? The coveted Legendary Food Critic Role. It gets you (checks notes) a new colour and bragging rights until you're overthrown.

3:49 PM

QUESTION 1 We're coming up to the one year anniversary of Dot's remind feature. The person who can guess closest to the number of times I have used this feature, without going above the correct answer, will become the first Legendary Food Critic of this server. You have 24 hours!

cat pinned a message to this channel. 8/31/2023 3:49 PM

11

Can we research? Or does it have to be a random guess?

i researched, there's at least one by my count

You can ask questions that may help you to clarify a more accurate answer.

4:18 PM

You may also change your answer as many times as you want within the 24 hours.

4 locked in.

4:19 PM

feel good about this one

What does remind do?

I don't know what is happening but 50

Remind is a feature where you can specify a timeframe and the thing you want reminded of and Dot will DM you a reminder of whatever you asked at that time.

Ah

4:24 PM

Cat is a Longbottom then

4:25 PM

Is this including all servers or just this one?

This includes every time I have used remind, whether in this server, another, or via DMs with Dot.

hmmmm

4:26 PM

That's a hard question

It is designed to be a little challenging :P

4:27 PM

Gotta earn the Legendary Food Critic role!

How good is greatly gloried grand leader Cat's memory...

4:27 PM

A mistery

You can DM Dot??

You can DM Dot!

A819

You can DM Dot??

Miracles will never cease

4:30 PM

So how old is this feature?

4:30 PM

remind I mean

4:30 PM

oh wait

4:30 PM

am dumb

4:30 PM

1 year

4:31 PM

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

4:31 PM

So I doubt it's more than 365 times

4:32 PM

but I also doubt that you used it daily...

4:32 PM

"hard thinking sounds"

it might average out to like once or twice per week maximum

Remind was released on 9th September 2022 according to the CalRef Development Journal. https://forum.calref.ca/index.php?topic=9.msg3868#msg3868

CalRef Development Journal - Page 2

A thread on this subject is probably overdue by now, but it only just occurred to me that I could write a post on where things are and where I hope they go, at least from my perspective. Part of that delay is just putting my nose to the grindstone and ...

It might indeed

it was 51.85ish weeks ago

So maybe around 100

Are we including times you said I cast remind?

oh God

4:35 PM

complications

Yep, this includes every time I have used the feature, whether using I cast remind, @Dot remind or /remind (edited)

so can we get an estimate of how many times per week figured out

What about @ Dot remind?

Oh yeah, that one too, edited. (edited)

I'll keep to 50 I think

assuming about once per week

4:37 PM

chance per day is 1/7

4:37 PM

with 356 days since

How many servers besides this one and the calref one have you been in in the past year that have dot in them?

I am in 3 servers with Dot in them.

4:39 PM

I may have been in other servers with Dot in them in the past year, but I have not used remind in those.

You didn’t use remind in Refugia 2?

Refugia 2?

Refugia 2?!!

Oh, the server name.

4:42 PM

I'm in CalRef II, which is Dot's home server, Refugia III which is this server, and then a non-Calamity Refuge server which I set up to chat to some friends and added Dot to for fun.

Ok

4:43 PM

I’ll say 23

4:44 PM

Considering you only used it around 12 times in calref II and once here

"12 times in public channels" >:) (edited)

Damn it

4:45 PM

I didn’t think of that

4:45 PM

Thank you

I reckon you use it as an everyday tool

4:45 PM

So let's get bold with it and say 472

You're putting so much effort in, I thought I'd give you a small hint, although it doesn't tell you if I used it in non-public channels or how many times I may have done so.

at a 2/7ths rate per day for 356 days it should be within the range 59-144

4:47 PM

and we're talkin like 99.99997% accuracy on that

It’s somewhere between 20 and 370

You do have to guess an actual number to be in it to win it.

ik

4:48 PM

anyway imma do a table of about how many times per week

My guy JRD is dedicated enough to unholster his probability theory and Combinatorics skillz for a smol competition

4:51 PM

respect

i cast desmos graphing calculator

begone with your foul sorcery

4:52 PM

only cranking numbers in your head counts

JRD is out here guessing probability and I respect that.

True OG of West Side Probability Researchers crew (edited)

all of my calculations depend on the questionable fact that the remind function has been used since it was first made

4:55 PM

assume a spherical cow in a vacuum

It has

4:56 PM

I checked

I can confirm I have been using remind since 9th September 2022 (edited)

ty

5:05 PM

alr so I was off by a little bit

5:05 PM

actual most likely answer seems to be 102

5:05 PM

with 101 at close second

5:07 PM

however the range can be narrowed down a lot

380!

read this as 380 factorial for a moment

If I could give points for 380 factorial, I would

5:09 PM

Not because it's right (I don't think that's possible?)

5:09 PM

But because it's funny

alr just for fun im gonna do a funny

25

5:10 PM

Trick question You don't need dot you have a perfect memory

I appreciate your faith in my memory.

okay so for 380! you would need a maximum of 63271711577862606523057792016616687299480417464835985398389180987620282212600785742704729490060501588314755796760364312958235518239382975133152702755130261971018572453134496011423105766851463655286585737574313298735972236713025867739199697376618848392914839757010266590355475766763309727905205293693506415429503369953949074829864609484685652678214986954512494845953293258657106247588866231657406125224024503359927937389411536794451429963291436101619393151892217083723354101739785059081184158167206420111039407359862678790852595624052823600827631847829033163091794864593825217924492324686002126134756602414964617978082107818953674526145146839491204834803999713881918348627672122500974937837941744122762968444533538451584573991031390134529147982062780269058295964125560538116591928251121076233183856502242152466368 unicode characters for your reminds

I don't think I've been alive that long

no wair i did that wrong

"i would like to revise my answer to 380! + 1"

1

alr you would only need 160 characters per remind

5:15 PM

still that's using EVERY SINGLE UNICODE CHARACTER

5:17 PM

anyway back to hardcore number crunching simulator

5:19 PM

aw crap gtg

5:19 PM

tell you guys about it tmrw tho

5:19 PM

i get home early so I can make it before the deadline

"use remind"

I cast remind me how many times cat has used remind

this response requires a formatting preference. Please specify exponential or factorial notation. -Dot probably

Dot would never betray me by just giving out the answer.

Perhaps

5:38 PM

Perhaps persuasion can be used

5:40 PM

https://youtu.be/ujZWy2kNuQU?t=152

Yasser Siddiqui

The Dictator

I cast roll 1d20 for persuasion

alr so results

12:47 PM

about 95% chance it's between 85 and 118

12:47 PM

assuming 2/7 chance per day

My guy JRD is still doing his weird probability magic thing

12:49 PM

I'm even more impressed now than I was yesterday

alr so first quartlie for 2/7 chance is 95.855

12:51 PM

third quartile for 2/7 chance is 107.359

Honestly, if it was up to me I would give you the prise just for the effort alone

ty

12:53 PM

if i get an excessory award for "most work put into a probably wrong answer" then the person who did 380! should get a prize for "funniest answer"

12:53 PM

yo actually that might be a good idea

12:57 PM

just figured out a much smarter wat of doing things

12:57 PM

way*

The only prize is for being as correct as possible without going above

1:02 PM

We cannot award wits here in Floor 7, this is a rotating restaurant after all

can floor 4 or 6 be a comedy room where people are awarded for doing goofy stuff

Those floors are already assigned to two of our councillors

what about a sub-basement

1:05 PM

the speakeasy of refugia

I live in floor 6 actually

That explains why it looks like that

1:07 PM

But also, there is nothing to stop us rewarding each other using give

HUH

for a server full of left wingers this seems pretty far to the right

1:16 PM

seems to be promoting economic inequality

It also promotes donating all of your planets to the Infinity Project :D

But mostly, it promotes being active in the server and in Refugia.

ye

1:17 PM

alr thats cool ig

Actually, I'll move this convo to #tuluni-sphere :D

FIRST QUARTILE IS PLOTTED

1:27 PM

works for everything up to like 1.67 times per day

1:31 PM

actually this kind of assumes that it isn't used more than once per day

1:31 PM

because according to this first quartile equals third quartile at about 1.1074 times per day

1:34 PM

anyway after all that

1:34 PM

imma lodge my bets at 119 (edited)

1:35 PM

50% chance it's between 112 and 125 at 1 use per 3 days (roughly) (edited)

1:36 PM

if anyone wants to trade a good guess for probability of use per day for a range of good guesses lmk

I’m changing my guess to 27

Okay! Results!

3:50 PM

I have: Jngley: 4 Walrus: 10 Cat: 25 New Atlantic: 27 Hugo: 50 JRD: 119 Nak: 380 Poquaoi: 472

3:52 PM

The correct answer is 80, which means as the closest without going over, @Hugo is this week's Legendary Food Critic. Let me know the hex code if you'd like a custom colour for the role, Hugo!

3:52 PM

If you like stats, I have used remind successfully 50 times, have 2 reminders for the future, and used remind unsuccessfully 28 times.

Oh wow

Sooooo

4:04 PM

I have bragging rights now I suppose

For an entire week!

I shall lord my coveted status over the whole of youse now (edited)

4:05 PM

maybe

In the other server when we did this, there was a little BOT icon for the role which was fun to confuse people with

4:06 PM

But we haven't unlocked that ability here, so I've made it a header in the sidebar to help you stand out hyper

Nice!

4:10 PM

"preens self-absorbedly"

There should be a regular food critic roll for people who have won in previous weeks

There is only a Legendary one, as has been handed down StElmosFire

4:18 PM

But perhaps I shall create an ultimate food critic prize at the end of the term for whoever wins most often, if there is one person with more wins!

4:18 PM

If there are like 13 people all with one win that won't work ofc XD

Thursday returns, and a new legendary food critic shall be found QUESTION 2 I am not one for organising my music, and stick every song I like into one big playlist on Spotify. The person who can guess closest to the length of that playlist in hours and minutes, without going above the correct answer, will become the next Legendary Food Critic of this server. You have 24 hours! (edited)

12:34 PM

Some people may have been sent Spotify playlists by me in the past, to make it fair I have put that playlist on private so it is impossible to find the answer.

90 hours

12:38 PM

May the best critic win

I'm gonna assume that you remove the ones that you don't 'ike anymore, so, 'ike, 48ish hours sounds about right

i do the exact same thing mine is around 15 hours, but i have very specific tastes so I'll guess 36 hours and 27 minutes

For how long will this be going?

You've got another hour and 20 minutes

Therefore @"Tiralta" is the new Legendary Food Critic! Let me know if you want a custom colour (or change it yourself since you have higher permissions than I do here lmao) (edited)

Congratulations, Chaca.

that is a lot of music

I've never come across a genre I didn't like

that makes a little more sense

I would order that for you if you let me

I actually really like putting it on shuffle

1:13 PM

I like having no idea what's coming next

i would order my music but i pretty much only use spotify on my phone and for some ridiculous reason you can't move songs around on mobile

Wow and here I thought that my number was too high.

Hugo

Wow and here I thought that my number was too high.

Same lol

Oh wow I totally lowballed it

So, I just looked it up; and it turns out I have only half of Cat’s amount of songs on my Liked playlist. Might be longer though or the same length due to many very long (~5-7 minutes) songs.

Yeah, mine average out to around 3.5-4 minutes. The longest is 20 minutes, and the shortest is 12 seconds though.

20 minutes?

4:12 PM

Sounds like from a musical, right?

"Only 20 minutes?"

Though no idea how the other one can be so short.

Natalie

"Only 20 minutes?"

StardustfromOuterSpace

Though no idea how the other one can be so short.

Grindcore

3 second interlude

This is the 12 second one https://open.spotify.com/track/6W5IhtPGffSW3HIVS0i4nH?si=nX1bIu5bTgKg909COA49Gw

That's pretty good

It was very 2007 humour, I like it cause it reminds me so strongly of being 14.

That's about a quarter the length of my shortest song

I can't sort my library by length, so I don't know what my shortest would be

4:27 PM

Outside of skits and interludes, I can't think of anything I come back to a lot that's below 45 seconds or so

I can only do it on desktop and I'm too lazy to go get my laptop, I just know that one off the top of my head

my shortest is 6 seconds (dogbass from undertale)

my shortest is 15 seconds apparently

wa

3 second interlude

Yeah, probably interlude or intro.

Oh my god it's time QUESTION 3 I have OCD and it has been quite a while since I have gone without my most interfering compulsive behaviour: completely wiping my phone. The person who can guess closest to the number of days I have gone without doing this, without going above the correct answer, will become the next Legendary Food Critic of this server. You have 24 hours! Because the number of days will be one higher tomorrow, we are counting till today for me (Thursday).

wipe? like with a cloth ?

Oh woops I have absolutely no idea what day it is QUESTION 4 I woke up this morning and said to my wife "help, I need a question with a number answer" just as they got an email telling us what our new monthly energy bill will be, so I think we can all agree that's called Fate.

Is it higher than that w/o panels?-What does energy cost in the UK, blimey?!

Does energy only include electricity and gas (or other substitutes), or more?

This energy bill comprises electricity and gas, it's separate from my water bill.

Oh shoot electricity and gas?

5:47 PM

157 instead (edited)

Ok, I am changing my guess to 169. (edited)

I too will be changing my guess

What is a season ticket?

A season ticket allows you to buy either multiple tickets to be used within a certain time, or unlimited travel for a certain time, between two specified points, and it works out cheaper than if you were to buy a ticket every time you travelled.

How many season tickets have you bought

How long is a season?

It depends? So you can buy a weekly unlimited travel ticket, a monthly unlimited travel ticket or a flexi ticket. In this case I bought flexi tickets which gave me 8 journeys in a month each time.

1300

2400 hours (edited)

love how the two types of answers are "answers that are thousands lower than a year and are therefore already eliminated" and "over 12k hours"

7:07 PM

I'd aim for around 2.5 hrs per day, so...

7:08 PM

that would get me a huge underevaluation

7:08 PM

what the heck

7:08 PM

alright

7:08 PM

4.5 hours per day then

7:09 PM

so I would like to revise my guess to 9,308 hrs (which is actually under 4.5 hrs/day)

7:10 PM

minimum is 4 hrs/day

7:12 PM

lowest estimate (1300) is 36 minutes a day, highest estimate (13131) is just short of 6 hours a day, which seems a bit excessive even compared to the minimum 4 hrs/day for time being over a year

1451

borscht. AND the bnuy

13000 hours is my educated guess

Which if you had then multipled by 6 for the number of years I've had it now, you'd have got 1480.8 which really isn't far off the correct answer of 1469. Therefore, with a remarkably close guess, @Darth Kal is the new Legendary Food Critic. Let me know if you want a custom role colour!

@borscht. AND the bnuy told ya we were waaaaay too high

Oh ok, can the role colour be a dark blue please. I was not expecting to get it

Everyone over 10000 did guess that I had played more hours of the Sims in a year than it was possible to get.

Yep, of course Kal! :D

Time is but a suggestion

I can sleep, work a full time job and play [checks notes] 27 hours a day of the sims.

Yes

4:40 PM

yes you can

the answer is magic

cat

Hopefully that works and doesn't strain everyone's eyes pandahappy

i use light mode you cannot hope to strain my eyes

7:06 PM

(just kidding)

7:06 PM

but also HOW

i just have better eyes

mine are okay

7:07 PM

I can see stuff if it doesn't involve reading or making out someone's facial expression across a room

i used to use dark mode but light mode matches my phone background

My left eye can't see anything beyond 50cm in front of my face

Meelon

i just have better eyes

well i do have glasses maybe more like stronger eyes

Darth Kal

My left eye can't see anything beyond 50cm in front of my face

And my eyes are so whack that I've been told I probably shouldn't wear glasses anymore. So a singular contact it is from now on

i don't want contacts because i don't like the idea of putting something in my eyes

I wanna get contacts for sport, cause glass in my eye is worse than a contact designed to go in there

Darth Kal

My left eye can't see anything beyond 50cm in front of my face

That's blurry

Wearing glasses will now skew my perpestive so much that I either never wear them or will have to always wear them. And always wearing them is not really an option with the number of sports I play that involve flying balls

what sports? i only do soccer so glasses aren't much of a problem

I want to get back into (inline) skating again which involves a lot of falling. Maybe also rugby!

Soccer (I have been hit in the face before so I'm not risking with glasses), Hockey, Cricket.

7:13 PM

Some Volleyball

cool hockey seems very hard to me because i cannot ice skate

7:14 PM

unless it's field hockey (edited)

7:14 PM

or air hockey

Turf

ah

That's only version that's popular in NZ (as far as I'm aware)

At the moment mostly I swim which is one of the few sports I can do and not need contacts.

yeah using 'hockey' to refer to ice hockey is mostly a north american thing (edited)

2

interesting

Here it would always mean "field" hockey too

I've never even seen a place in which ice hockey could be played

Neither

We have ice rinks and ice hockey teams here, but they're not popular. I did a lot of ice skating as a kid so I saw ice hockey warm ups at least most weeks.

me neither

it just seems to be the first thing that comes to mind

the last time I saw an ice rink I was in new york

some parts of being american are so weird

The last I saw one it was a pop up one and I was really small

Here I'd reckon most big cities have an indoor one.

I'm sure auckland has one

how do you even do that

But yeah this is a pinned message in me and Maddie's dms (it was also sent to Nat and Aav and maybe Argo)

incredible

Every so often I tell people my only skill is talking to people

oh yeah

Yeah I just borrow my Dad's personality for a bit when I have to

like I can do it over time but conversations happen so fast

Cat

I find the thinking of questions part really hard

yes for me especially, questions that have answers i actually care about

What sort of topics do you care about a lot Meelon?

7:37 PM

(both an example and an I'm interested)

1. video games 2. very basic mental and physical health of other people 3. stories (made up)/any sort of worldbuilding for anything 4. probably something else idk

I like it when people tell me about what they're interested in

Meelon

those are all cool!

1

that's fun sometimes unless it's something really boring like sporting statistics

Cat

I like it when people tell me about what they're interested in

Yeah for sure! Even if I'm not interested in that thing myself it's always nice to learn something.

i'm just not interested in a lot and i suck at pretending to be interested in things which makes my social life very small

I struggle with conversations about stuff I don't know about.

7:43 PM

Like a lot of people play video games and I don't really. It's Sims and Civ V and not much else, but video games are a really common interest. I try to ask questions but I'm not always sure of how to follow up.

7:43 PM

It's not I'm not interested in games though, just that I don't play many.

if something seems interesting and i don't know about it, i will just sit and listen for however long you want to talk. hours? as long as i don't have anything else going on (most days) i don't care. i will become a master on the subject and no one, NO ONE CAN STOP ME that was pretty fun to write

That's a cool way to approach it.

side note: during the pandemic i would just sit and read video game wikis for the entire day

7:46 PM

that's how i know almost everything about terraria despite only being only about halfway through the game

Meelon

hi, I'm an uninvited party in this conversation, and same

You are not uninvited at all JRD ItIsSo

i would :bonezone: but i ran out of nitro

1

The vast majority of what I know about games comes from my siblings and my wife. The rest is just asking questions and hoping people want to give me a review of the game

i will always want to give a review of game

1

Meelon

that's how i know almost everything about terraria despite only being only about halfway through the game

(seriously ask me almost anything)

games are interesting for me because like half the time if it sounds interesting I will go seek it out as much as possible

yes

Meelon

(seriously ask me almost anything)

just heard about some of the bosses in terraria and uh what was the dev doin to think of that stuff

the one flaw is that you can spoil really great games for yourself one of my greatest mistakes in life was not going into undertale blind

JustARandomDoggo

just heard about some of the bosses in terraria and uh what was the dev doin to think of that stuff

terraria bosses are prerry much exclusively eldritch horrors

I don't play many video games aside from minecraft but I'm one of the people that refuses to look at a wiki until I have absolutely no idea what I'm supposed to be doing so I waste hours trying to figure it out. It's always a learning experience though which is nice.

1

yeah i give up way too easily

There have been several times while playing with the create mod for minecraft that I don't know what I'm doing but refuse to look at the wiki out of sheer stubbornness

i gtg goodnight everyone good conversation

I'm not gonna look at a wiki unless I have to but I will binge watch videos of games I haven't even heard of for hours straight until my internet finally turns itself off

1

Night meelon!

@borscht. AND the bnuy told ya we were waaaaay too high

yeah using 'hockey' to refer to ice hockey is mostly a north american thing (edited)

Is it?

3:45 AM

I'm pretty sure that all of post-soviet countries only refer to ice hockey as just hockey.

3:45 AM

What else would you call hockey idk

3:48 AM

You'd probably have more luck here finding people that differentiate between Russian hockey and Canadian hockey (edited)

3:48 AM

That are both versions of ice hockey

1

I cannot comment on post Soviet countries

1

I can(somewhat)

3:55 AM

Given that I live in Russia

3:56 AM

Ice hockey is like

3:56 AM

a minor religion here

Hugo

You'd probably have more luck here finding people that differentiate between Russian hockey and Canadian hockey (edited)

wait there's a difference?

6:04 AM

I've heard of hockey and field hockey (edited)

1

JustARandomDoggo

wait there's a difference?

yep

6:05 AM

both are played on ice, but Russian hockey is played with a ball

1

huh

I think it's called bandy in English

6:05 AM

or smth like that

6:05 AM

Rules are a bit different too I think

6:05 AM

Russian hockey was more popular here until, uhhh, around 60s?

6:06 AM

Then USSR switched to Canadian hockey, got wrecked several times really hard (edited)

6:06 AM

It took some adjusting, but then USSR got good (edited)

6:07 AM

Back then it was Canadians at the top, then USSR, Finnland, Czechoslovakia and... Sweden I think (edited)

6:07 AM

the rest were there just to get wrecked

1

Hugo

a minor religion here

as a southerner, I will say that college football is a more popular religion than Christianity.

1

footbal is a major religion here

6:07 AM

for some unknown reason

1

American football?

no, normal football

6:08 AM

soccer

Hugo

for some unknown reason

God knows Russia can't play football for shit

1

American football is like a religion at the college level

No one cares about it here, tbh

1

6:09 AM

There was a time when rugby was on a rise a bit, but it never really got popular and eventually died out (edited)

1

ye, I'd be surprised if anyone other than in America and the countries in Europe where it's very popular for some reason really cares about it

1

back in 70s

I can't tell you crap about international ~~soccer~~ real football performances other than what little I know about the history of the US Women's team (edited)

6:12 AM

but I can tell you every dynamic in southern American football

6:12 AM

which teams hate which

1

Hugo

Then USSR switched to Canadian hockey, got wrecked several times really hard (edited)

Back in ye olden days Canadians didn't even bother with sending professionals on international competitions (edited)

6:12 AM

they just sent

6:12 AM

college teams

6:12 AM

and such

6:12 AM

coz they were that good

6:12 AM

and the rest just tried really hard not to get bent too pathetically

1

I'd imagine it'd be an all-star team of college students tho

yeah but still

6:13 AM

not pros

yeah

Hugo

Back then it was Canadians at the top, then USSR, Finnland, Czechoslovakia and... Sweden I think (edited)

well now I wanna 'ook into ice hockey

1

If you're in the UK (you're usually on at the same times as me so I'm guessing euro at least) then you probably have a semi local ice hockey team you never heard of :D

1

I am Eng'ish indeed

1

6:30 AM

WHY ARE THEY ALL FIELD HOCKEY

1

We have two leagues, the EIHL which has 10 teams and is the professional league, and the NIHL which has 47 teams and is the development/amateur league

1

6:31 AM

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_Ice_Hockey_League The Wikipedia page for the NIHL doesn't have a team list but the EIHL does

Elite Ice Hockey League

The Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL), sometimes referred to as the British Elite League or, for sponsorship reasons, the Viaplay Elite League, is an ice hockey league in the United Kingdom. Formed in 2003 following the demise of the Ice Hockey Superleague, it is the highest level of ice hockey competition in the United Kingdom. The league operates...

'ooking at the champions I have found another reason that irish reunification should occur

The Giants are good?

6:34 AM

They were my local team when I lived in Belfast, I've been to a couple of their games!

1

that's pretty cool

6:35 AM

You 'ike ice hockey?

1

I like it enough to try to go to games occasionally

6:37 AM

I don't like it enough to follow it

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_Ice_Hockey_League The Wikipedia page for the NIHL doesn't have a team list but the EIHL does

alright so my c'osest one is F'ames, so I'll try to catch some of their games on TV

1

cat

I don't like it enough to follow it

I get that, that's how I treat sports for the most part

1

Yeah, I'll watch the Six Nations on tv in spring, I'll try to go to an ice hockey game, I'll watch things like the women's world cup and a couple sports I like in the Olympics, but I don't really care too much about the outcome

1

borscht. AND the bnuy

alright so my c'osest one is F'ames, so I'll try to catch some of their games on TV

WHY ARE SO FEW OF THEM ACTUA'Y ENG'ISH

cause nobody here plays hockey

6:43 AM

all the americans and canadians and russians move here instead

1

devastating news, I will never recover

offers you a cup of tea for the shock (edited)

on'y time I've heard of someone here p'aying hockey it was a girl specifica'y talking about the disrespect she faces in the sport

American football?

I call it “tArkot”; which is short for “the American rugby kind-of-thing”.

That thing where they are not brave enough to replace a ball with a sword

That thing where they are not brave enough to replace a ball with a sword

The person who guesses closest to the exact time she will arrive (so either use 24 hour clock or define am/pm) will become the new Legendary Food Critic.

The person who guesses closest to the number of packs I'll have to open, without going over, will be this week's Legendary Food Critic.

51 puppet nations 5 issues per nation because of the upper limit 20% chance for a card total of 102. I'm going to gamble, though, that it's above average, so I'll choose 103 final answer:103

See you don’t know cat’s luck

You've guessed almost exactly the same XD

Just directed at the “above average” lmao

I am so average wdym

Your luck for cards is not XD

My luck for legs is not

Changing my guess to 115

But I did draw the same epic worth 11.50 twice just now hyper

NICE

Selling one but if I don't get a leg, the other will make a good Food Critic extra prize this week

also, chance of getting a legendary card for exactly 102 card packs is about 70%

3:41 PM

so whoever wins has it just about set

3:42 PM

gonna do some hardcore number crunching to figure out the exact value one second

oh see on that point: maddie knows my luck with legs

3:42 PM

She has had many days where I've said "seriously? not a single one?"

there's like a 1% chance you get them

3:44 PM

getting none across 52 nations (main+alts) is quite improbable tho

3:44 PM

WAIT

3:45 PM

just realied the guy I copied in the forums did his math really bad wrong

3:45 PM

he multiplied the probability by five instead of subrtacting it from one and raising to the fifth power (edited)

3:46 PM

as a consequence the probability for 102 card packs of getting a leg fall to 32.9%

3:47 PM

whoops

Changing my guess to 0 actually

I have said I've found 2 identical epics on 2 nations but okie doke :P

after some number crushing

4:01 PM

(and by this I mean using desmos to compute an integral)

4:02 PM

the chance of the new Legendary Food Critic getting a Legendary ~~Food~~ Card is 66.9%

4:03 PM

gonna double check using wolfram alpha one second

lots of scary words

so many words that I do not understand

realized I needed to use a summation instead

4:17 PM

whoopz

JRD I will save you the time

4:19 PM

There is a 100% chance of the Food Critic getting a legendary for I have found one :D

3

hell yeah

did the math wrong, again

4:21 PM

probability is back at 70% now

cat

There is a 100% chance of the Food Critic getting a legendary for I have found one :D

wait if you get another will you give a second legendary to the other person

Like if I find another will the critic get two cards?

ye

Nah, they're getting the first one I found

alr

https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/card=11615/season=3

I have bad news: wolfram alpha has stopped helping me

i still dont fully understand what you’re looking for

That is very normal when it comes to JRD I find

4:29 PM

His high misteries of hermetic mathematics are scary

4:29 PM

and not easily understandable by mere mortals

n/100 for n = 102 seems to be rather consistent with cat finding one already

4:30 PM

because it’s adding the 1/100 probabilities n times

okay I did some percussive maintenance on my equation and it works

(assuming it is 1/100, which it may not be. as the season progresses and more cards cte, legendaries either get less or more common based on if theyre more or less likely than the average card to cte, iirc)

Oh God

4:32 PM

Walrus is a mathematician too

im using S2 stats I found on a forum post from 2013

4:33 PM

this is only a guesstimate and the North Pacific Card Market Tracker doesn't have a S3 Legendary Probability thing so I'm out of luck

4:34 PM

but the probability is 70.133%

I should figure out an S3 legendary pull rate sometime

4:35 PM

Although someone's probably already done it in the cards server

I am going to beat the cards market To Death™ for the terrible toll it is taking on the logical parts of my brain

Actually that's just for S2 cards

5:07 PM

I sourced that whole bit from an old forum post which says it's 90% of the time only cards of non-CTE'd nations and 10% of the time any card at all

then what does 146 and 169 represent

146 is non-CTE'd leg cards at the time the forum post was written

5:09 PM

and 169 is total

and 57698 is non-cte'd any cards

3 is associated with protection, 33 is also associated with protection in general, but also with feats of military prowess, 33 is a typical number of warriors in a sacred band of tales, but 333 is also associated with plentifulness and pleasures of life. "Keva Kikimd Turmakikam Larezar", "All of 333 pleasures" is an expression that basically means "Everything you could wish for". (edited)

I'm not on tumbler at all, so I'm just picking random numbers

the only exposure to tumblr I have had is pm seymour

I have unfortunately been exposed to tumblr on and off since 2010 or 2011

I haven't kept up with tumblr since then except for a brief stint in like 2019 before they were sold or whatever happened that caused them to implode

1

They banned porn

1:11 PM

That caused them to collapse

1

Eternal battle of bees against honey

Well they banned porn, but also in the weirdest way possible and also didn’t ban pornbots and also just like. Labeled basically any image as porn so people were getting nuked left right and center

1:18 PM

It was such a shitshow

1

Eternal battle of crazy bees against honey then

Oops! Here we go again

They banned porn

yeah but wasn't that because they got sold to yahoo or something

1

It was pretty unfortunate actually, because the algorithm targeted a lot of LGBT content incorrectly, and given that LGBT people made up a huge portion of the userbase, it made a lot of people just choose to leave

1:30 PM

And then it got blamed on a porn ban

1

marissa mayer, the mitt romney of 2018 or 19 or whenever it was

1:32 PM

But yeah good point, I remember something about how anything lgbt was inherently nsfw or political or something

1

Sounds like something our government would do

1

Tbh there’s still that, but yeah it was grim. That and “female presenting nipples”

1

70

Does one's nipples present

I’m just thinking about Romeo and Juliet now like “Do you present your nipples at us sir?” “I do not present my nipples at you sir, but I do present them”

Idk know anything about the topic of tumblr (apart from vaguely knowing it exists) but as you may have guessed I go with 420 lol xD

Thank you Dot it has finally only been 24 hours Meelon 6 KT 25 Kal 36 Cat 42 Nat 70 Maddie 84 Hugo 106 Walrus 207 Nak 275 JRD 301 Yael 420 Emily 12000 The correct answer is 76 so @Natalie you are this week's Legendary Food Critic! Let me know if you want a custom colour (or you can change it yourself ofc)

I was so close

Next time

ooh congrats nat! (edited)

NICE

Whoa, I finally got one!

ITS THURBY QUESTION 14 It's Spotify Wrapped Edition. This year on Spotify, my top song was Eat Your Young by Hozier. How many times have I listened to it since 18th March? The closest answer without going above will be the Legendary Food Critic, you have 24 hours hyper

WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE GUESSES GUYS??

Maybe some people enjoy listening to their favourite songs a lot. I know I tend to select random songs/tracks each day to listen to, and keep it on repeat for a few hours.

They look like numbers to me ayyy

My top song was 31 times

I would say 62

My top song was 152

tbf i had like 80k minutes too

y'all scare me

It would be interesting if WMP had a counting function. I guess there's probably an add-on for it, but I know that I've previously had 1-3 songs on repeat for weeks at a time while I was working on Dot updates last year

I listen to music pretty exclusively when the radio is on and that's about it

Cat when do you listen to music?

A819

Cat when do you listen to music?

Between the hours of 9am and 9pm usually, but not consistently. Usually if I am in a specific mood or wanting to hear a specific song, or I'll stick a playlist on if I'm trying to focus on something.

ah yes, outsourcing

12:58 PM

But I'll pass on a handmade vaccine

These are really cool. Where did you get them?

Thanks! The ghosts are made by two of my friends, the balloon dog was from a fun little art shop in Bristol whose name I forget, the Colorado pin is from a shop I bet Maddie could tell you the name of, and the gold pin holding up the ticket below it is merch from a team whose hockey match I went to see in Canada. The rest have all been gifts from people! I suspect the goose with the bell was also made by the ghost friends. (edited)

I mean the max amount of people at the same time

10:10 AM

also where is it, like, at least the region or a city

In the suburbs of an English city. It's pretty big for a cafe I'd say?

We could use some more information, like is it a franchise (like Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, etc.)?-Or is it independent or like a regular café?

And does it offer food items (i.e. pastry, breakfast, sandwiches and salads, etc.)?

Oh cock..right…Nak employed their Britishness which can lead to this phrasing meaning several different things…oh cock me!

I'm sorry what

4:46 AM

I have lived with British culture for 31 years and never once heard that used in that way

1

Like I thought “without going under” means you can go all above as much as you want as long as you don’t go lower. (edited)

Yes. I am referring to the other phrase you chose there.

Oh?

Sorry

4:48 AM

I have watched too many British youtubers

I've never heard that phrase

1

cat

Yes. I am referring to the other phrase you chose there.

Like I have heard it used in precisely the way I did. I don’t know if it’s considered posh or rude in your area of England though.

I don't know what youtubers you're watching but it's certainly new to me.

1

The main one I am watching (MATN) is from Manchester, lives in London, well, North London area now, and has Canadian ancestry/heritage, too. Plus he’s quite posh. So this might make a difference. (edited)

5:03 AM

Then Spiffing Brit, of course, and a few others.

Anyways, given the cafés and coffee shops in the region Nak lives in range from 0-10£ at the lowest price segments, to 10-20£ at the highest, going by 10£ as average, given it’s not too small nor too big (of a café), the shop is open 10 hours a day, seven days a week over at least 11 months and 1 week, with 3 weeks as holidays, and thusly an average turnover of 231,700£ per annum, minus the expenses (rent, salaries, utilities, etc.), and since profit margins are slim (for whatever “slim” means in this context) due to those, and assuming “hilariously terrible business practices” refer to things such as overpaying your staff in salaries and eating into your financial buffer included in the net profit (not the one you should have ((for general expenses such as repairs, etc.)) up to this point, not in the net income), maybe around 4,200£ per annum in net income. (edited)

6:48 AM

Also, TIL the UK has only around 8 holidays per year, with only a few days of them paid leave.

6:50 AM

@JustARandomDoggo will probably come up with a more elaborate guess than that.

BRING THURBY OF YOUR CLOSEST FRIEBS

I'm going to be honest with you, I thought that those looked demonic at the time and I still do

Same

my grandparents had this big creepy barn with all these creaky ledges and dark corners, and one year during the family christmas gathering, one of my cousins had gotten a furby and hid it in the barn

1:55 PM

so when some of us went in later (it was the big "bet you're too scared" dare), there was this "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" sound

1:55 PM

scariest shit of all time

That sounds horrifying

Nakari

i said closest without going under because if i had said "closest without going over" i suspected everyone would be eliminated instantly

WHAT THE HELLLLLLLL

4:03 PM

we just underestimated how awful exactly

yeah

This happened to a friend and I at a sleepover when I was about 6 and we got so freaked out we threw it out the window. In the morning when we went out to play it was still in the garden chirping demonically.

Bwahahah "nice" to know i've got somebody to share a trauma with! I cried like hell was on earth, dad came in horrified by the gurgling sounds of the demon-furby, plopped his batteries off and that was it, never seen that thing ever again. Probably for the best. Dad is fine though.

I have an oxo cubes box on my desk, which was given to me as a gift in April 2009. When did those oxo cubes expire? Closest guess in the format of month/year without going after will win. You have 24 hours!

what is an oxo cube

It's a brand of dried stock in cube form (edited)

oh ok

That is such a weird gift

hmm

10:19 AM

imma guess 3/11 (0.27272727272727...)

Luca

That is such a weird gift

Back in the day I was

So Random Lol

and signed off "buy oxo" instead of "bye xox" in all my messages to my wife on MSN (gone but not forgotten) and they committed to the bit and bought oxo for our first date.

Hugo

a brand of what (edited)

Uh. Google says

a cube of concentrated dehydrated meat, vegetable, or fish stock for use in cooking.

Bouillon cubes!

2

Which isn't helpful, and for stock it says

Stock is a mixture of boiled or simmered ingredients that typically include animal bones, meats, vegetables, and possibly a small amount of salt. Stocks are often used as a base for foods such as soups, stews, sauces, and gravies. Raw bones and meat may be used.

10:22 AM

I did not consider the limits of the English language when I thought of this question XD

I didn't know bouillon cubes were a real thing until like a month ago and I've never actually seen one

boo-yah cubes

They seem to be Zariman-like meat squares

10:24 AM

Wacky

I've seen bouillon cubes before but they're kinda rare

10:26 AM

where I am at least

10:26 AM

if we need chicken broth we just kinda get chicken broth

"In North America, you just buy a cow"

I didn't realise stock/bouillon was not a universal experience, woops XD

10:31 AM

now, expert culinary advice: get a skillet, fry bacon on said skillet, and then scramble eggs on the skillet without taking the bacon grease out

Well if these things are like jerky they could last for quite a while

10:31 AM

Otherwise not

They're not like jerky in that they're dried meat, they're like a salty seasoning powder.

Luca

Well if these things are like jerky they could last for quite a while

looked it up and they last like 1-2 years

Presumably you don't have like

10:32 AM

rotting meat on your desk

No no, the contents were disposed of after expiring

The box remains as a fun keepsake

Oh that's genius. Maybe J had picked some well-expired oxo cubes from their house from when their parents gave it as a gift to one another, the giver originally finding it in their house after their parent received it from the other, and so on

I revise my guess to 5/11

kermit is 'osing it with these guesses

1973 was an exciting year (or so I've heard, I wasn't around)

MHM

What's everyone's favourite thing about 1973?

Probably the energy crisis

Reading about it in history books, having never experienced it, of course.

AC/DC was founded in 1973

3:10 AM

that's pretty cool

3:10 AM

Also USSR landed Lunokhod-2 rover on the moon

Luca

Probably the energy crisis

It was a good one

3:35 AM

One of my favourite games when I was a kid was set in an alternate reality version of the oil crisis

We've had a sort of terrorist attack in December 1973. Other than that, it was a boring year without particular achievements for Italy, aside the making of some of the most horrible songs to ever be released on this planet.

I'm sure there was some good Italian progressive rock music that year

Oh yes, absolutely. Not sure if Area were already active at the time, but there were a bunch of bands that stood out in prog rock and prog in general. But the italian music panorama never actually shifted from the sad, love-loss, heart breaking, goodbye kind of songs.

3:40 AM

Lemme google that in a sec.

3:41 AM

Yup, they were active.

I mostly know Premiata Forneria Marconi, who I thought were pretty good. Haven't checked out much more, though I remember trying Le Orme and being really disappointed

Demetrio's voice is inhumane. It does not belong to this existence level.

I'll have to check them out

Lemme look for a good example.

3:44 AM

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D9p7iMTzCf0&pp=ygUWRGVtZXRyaW8gc3RyYXRvcyB2b2ljZQ%3D%3D this gives out a good idea on the studies he carried on voice modulation. This is all without the help of external devices, aside a microphone.

PFM is also another great example.

This throat singing stuff is super impressive but it's not really my thing to just listen to

Yeh, that's just his private studies. AreA is prog rock with him as a singer.

3:48 AM

It's a difficult one to listen to.

...beef stock cube? What in the seven holy names of Fs is that

flavouring cubes!

Bouillon!

Ooooh, is that like, a small cube you put in the pot to boil with your tortellini?

11:04 AM

Adds a meaty flavor to the water served with tortellini (brodo)

1

Yeah, sounds right!

Looks sort of like this.

1

Yeah!

Now that's cool! We got these as well.

We put it into soups and gravy

11:06 AM

I've never thought to put it in with pasta but that makes sense

Aye! Soup with these is just hmmm-hm!

11:07 AM

Not pasta. Tortellini. 🫡

11:07 AM

Tortellini is like, the gnome version of ravioli, usually they have meat in it.

its good to put in when cooking rice!

Ooooh nice!

I second that, too.

11:08 AM

Soupy rice for when you're sick

11:08 AM

Best way to deal with a cold.

11:08 AM

(or intestine issues)

11:09 AM

Small tortellini, big ravioli (shapes can change a bit)

tortellini cuuuute

Cappellacci is your ultimate ravioli. They're big ass ravioli, the mafia version of ravioli.

would you use stock only for stuffed pastas?

...stuffed pasta?

11:11 AM

Oh yeah i mean, that, rice, and soups that have a base of meat. With veggies, it's not so great. But we have veggie cubes, for veggie dishes, too!

Biggus

Small tortellini, big ravioli (shapes can change a bit)

Pelmeni!

Veggie "cubes"

We have veggie ones too. They tend to come as beef, chicken, lamb or veggie here.

Neat!

We have veggie/meat cubes too, but they aren't good (edited)

11:14 AM

I'd rather make a boullion as a base on my own than use them

Yeah i mean, they're great if you're generally lazy and/or have no time to do things properly.

11:14 AM

I'm both

11:15 AM

Lacking time AND lazy

11:15 AM

They're good! And they have expiry dates longer than a Pope's lifetime.

The beef ones are good for cooking rice in cause sometimes it makes the rice go a rich brown colour and it goes really well with Vietnamese dishes.

Ooooh that sounds great

Nakari

The beef ones are good for cooking rice in cause sometimes it makes the rice go a rich brown colour and it goes really well with Vietnamese dishes.

Have yet to try vietnamese. But that sounds neat nonetheless.

I like chaos, and that's definitely chaotic.

11:42 AM

How about, you put 4 of them on a wooden stick, then dip them in a plastic cup filled with hot water, and suddenly stick the whole lot in the freezer? That way you've got a meat cube popsicle.

11:43 AM

goes to puke in another room, quickly

Ooh you can do that with bovril the meat drink

I haven't tried yet. But i'll be sure to put it on the list of abominations i'm gonna taste before i die.

Wait, Maddie isn't better Tiralta anymore?

Second only to the "Blended Spaghetti Vongole and Wine"

11:46 AM

Recipe is pretty easy:

You cook the spaghetti
You cook the vongole
You prepare a nice glass of wine
You toss everything in the blender
drink

Ah...It's a thing, yes

.... But i was sarcastic

11:46 AM

like i was trying to imagine the most disgusting thing i could come up with with meat cubes

11:46 AM

is that actually a thing?

11:46 AM

I repent

yes

I'm sorry

11:47 AM

That's definitely me with curry.

11:48 AM

There's places where curry fits so goddamn well, and others where it should never be put. I am still on my mad scientist route.

11:48 AM

alr will start writing proposals

But I've been thinking that we might need to shake up some things and typically people are too timid to put together their own proposals

And proposals that I don't write but make literally any comment on seem to make people flee in terror

6:28 PM

So clearly it's time for a cOnStItUtIoNaL cOnVeNtIoN

6:28 PM

But Luca we do not have a consitution

6:28 PM

Quire right

I know not what is happening

6:28 PM

Which means it's time to nuke Ban Oldern

hey!!! that's not nice :(

I know :3

wait till the civil war breaks out pls in like a week

Oh my god Refugia war time

6:30 PM

Does the victor get to write the new laws

promises are nice, but a sudden escalation on Dulyn is nicer

"Tiralta"

Does the victor get to write the new laws

perhaps

we shall ban all capitalist countries

Hugo is already preparing a treatise on how this relates to Moscow

I will not give up my silver reserves without a mud fight

Unregistered Sleeper, where the primary operator of a Sleeper has not declared the aims and ownership of that nation to the Office of Operations and Arch-Administrator.

I think we should nuke this

6:33 PM

Because it still leaves us with sleepers that are just known but not particularly welcome

I am not opposed but

6:34 PM

How are they known to us?

Well they're supposed to message me or the ops councillor. Although most of them don't

(what nation are you, Luca?)

I am a horse thicc enough to carry you

Well if they join and do nothing than they are not contributing to "fun" index of Refugia so I say nuke em

Kaynight

(what nation are you, Luca?)

The Grand Game Personality of Archadminia

Luca

I am a horse thicc enough to carry you

what a horse

The thing that bothers me about sleepers is that I don't know why they're here. I mean, I have a good idea, and I don't really like it. Like if you're just logging in once a week or two and doing nothing else, you're just collecting influence

6:36 PM

So basically you're waiting for Refugia to become raidable

6:37 PM

And I think that's kinda bad-faith

Not necesserily waiting for Refugia to be raidable

6:37 PM

When I joined NS for the first time I was just kinda clueless, never participated in anything and then just left

Yeah, but that involves leaving

I feel like quite a few nations are like that

6:37 PM

they are useless however

Presumably you mean you CTE'd after 28 days?

I think so

6:38 PM

It was in 2013, so my memories aren't quite clear

These guys I'm talking about have residencies of three months to a year

6:38 PM

Like they are returning to log in and do nothing but collect influence

In that case I believe that purging them is a way to go

6:38 PM

press the red button

Yeah, although right now that's technically illegal

6:39 PM

My next thought:

In the event that an exempted Member State accrues influence in another region, requests their status be revoked, or is ejected from the region, the Member State’s exemption status is revoked. The Member State can apply to have this status reinstated, following the same protocol as laid out in RRS 5(a).

It's not possible for us to remove WA exemptions for long-gone nations unless they refound and update somewhere else

6:39 PM

And I think that's also weird

change it to "Sleeper whose residence has not been approved by the Office of Operations and Arch-Administrator"

6:40 PM

and then specify the info they should provide if they want to request approval

It's so weird looking over this now because I remember the context in which we wrote it and it felt so airtight at the time

Oh yeah that's another thing

6:40 PM

We never really collected a record of what sleepers are in Refugia

6:41 PM

I think we did at the start but no one kept it going

6:41 PM

So now before a purge, I have to go check to see if that nation name has ever been brought up before

6:41 PM

In like

6:41 PM

A discord search for each nation

6:42 PM

This is like not really a problem for when we were a region of like 32

6:42 PM

Those times were great

6:42 PM

Because no one weird ever existed

6:42 PM

Now everyone's weird so

6:42 PM

There's that

Luca

My next thought:

In the event that an exempted Member State accrues influence in another region, requests their status be revoked, or is ejected from the region, the Member State’s exemption status is revoked. The Member State can apply to have this status reinstated, following the same protocol as laid out in RRS 5(a).

It's not possible for us to remove WA exemptions for long-gone nations unless they refound and update somewhere else

What even is the exemption status, I've only read the whole thing one time, so I don't remember

"Time to put everyone into a randomiser and become a region of 32 again"

Emily

"Time to put everyone into a randomiser and become a region of 32 again"

Ah yes, decimation

6:43 PM

How very roman of you

Originally it was meant to let people vote and run for office if they were WA banned or a really interested delegate of another region

6:44 PM

Although it was primarily used to let people keep or gain member state status if they were off raiding and defending

hm

Damn the RRS in general is just huge

6:45 PM

It used to be like 400 words

Hear me out

6:45 PM

how about

Now it's 2,000

no exemptions for really interested delegates

Hugo

How very roman of you

I've never claimed to be great at maths, but if decimation is removing 1 out of 10 people, and I'm saying reduce us to 32 from 430, I must have missed some classes at some point.

Emily

I've never claimed to be great at maths, but if decimation is removing 1 out of 10 people, and I'm saying reduce us to 32 from 430, I must have missed some classes at some point.

there are special words for other variations of removing people, but decomation is know to all so that's the word to use if one wishes to be understood I feel (edited)

I do think we should have a clause somewhere where we can remove exemptions in certain cases outside of technical reasons.

Fun facts btw

6:47 PM

We haven't given out an exemption in over a year

Emily

I do think we should have a clause somewhere where we can remove exemptions in certain cases outside of technical reasons.

Why not, make councilors vote or smth

The last one was to the now-catapulted Falafelandia

"The Council has decided to revoke your position of a master-jedi"

Before that was Leo in January 2023 and before that was Aav in May of 2022 (edited)

6:49 PM

They've gotten pretty sparse, but that's probably fine

6:49 PM

Back when we talked to smaller regions more (because we were a smaller region) we had people like Karteria from NWI, who was a delegate, but our regions were friendly

6:50 PM

Also I think we still need a new councillor, but I don't yet know what they'd do

Emily

I've never claimed to be great at maths, but if decimation is removing 1 out of 10 people, and I'm saying reduce us to 32 from 430, I must have missed some classes at some point.

tridecimation?

So we could probably shorten the wording for the exemption process, saying it's only possible in circumstances when WA presence is impossible and only awarded by unanimous council vote

Councillor of Dungeons and Masquarades

Emily

So we could probably shorten the wording for the exemption process, saying it's only possible in circumstances when WA presence is impossible and only awarded by unanimous council vote

maybe not unanimous

It already is unanimous and has been from the start

6:51 PM

pretty sure

All right then

Yeah, it was based off of Conifer's process

Also in regards to sleepers, I assume we'd limit it to people who want to chill in the server with us but whose main nations are in another region, and yeet pretty much any other sleeper

That sounds reasonable

yeah

That does make sense

And maybe when they self-report their sleeper, we can just be like "hey maybe answer an issue now and then, just so your stats aren't wrecking our averages"

Prepeare the Yeeting Machine

Emily

And maybe when they self-report their sleeper, we can just be like "hey maybe answer an issue now and then, just so your stats aren't wrecking our averages"

low-key I haven't been checking nations that had amazing stats

high-key I support this

Because some of these sleepers have S-tier badges

Emily

And maybe when they self-report their sleeper, we can just be like "hey maybe answer an issue now and then, just so your stats aren't wrecking our averages"

"laughs nervously"

maybe we could have like a designated puppet storage region for people in the region or smthn that people could put their puppets in

We do have one

wait we do?

"We keep vials of saryn gas around, but the containers they're in are beautifully guilded"

pretty as a poison, as they say

where's our puppet storage?

We do not have a dedicated region for puppet storage

6:55 PM

But we could

6:55 PM

"For example there's this jump point that I rent out sometimes..."

6:56 PM

I'm defo gonna call this the paperwork reduction act

JustARandomDoggo

wait we do?

JRD has been bamboozled

6:57 PM

lied to

for a moment I, uh, I remembered three years ago when we were doing a lot of card farming as a region

6:57 PM

and it turns out that was three years ago and not now

utterly mentally crushed

Ban Oldern did I ever get a councillor colour from you

alr so proposed changes so far:

Limit sleepers to people outside of region who wanna chill
Allow for the revoking of exemption status for non-technical reasons

Luca

Ban Oldern did I ever get a councillor colour from you

no but i can pick one rq

"hella", I think they say

alr another proposal for the PRA: changing the wording of 3b from (roughly) "appeal succeeds if less than two Against votes" to (roughly) "appeal succeeds if a majority of votes are For" (edited)

JustARandomDoggo

no but i can pick one rq

are you still picking or

Luca

are you still picking or

do you want a general description or a hex code

I just want to know what colour you want to have represent you in the records

5:13 PM

Whether that's precise or not is more a you problem than a me problem

oh uh in that case just a yellowish orange

alr new proposal: the Lord Seeker of Beans Act, which just literally makes Lord Seeker of Beans a full-time thing (maybe a special type of ward?) (edited)

what about His Excellency The Lord Brewmaster

sure we can do that too

7:02 PM

the Refugi Chefs act, we got the Lord Seeker of Beans, the Lord Brewmaster, some others ig

I rotate this room to it's semi-traditional configuration and pose this exciting question

10:33 PM

It has been many years since I filed american taxes

1

10:33 PM

During the years that I did, what was the largest number of pages I turned in with my taxes

10:34 PM

Closest to the right answer without going over rule

10:34 PM

And I'll tell you now, it was 2014

1

Do any nearby Americans have examples of page counts

i have never filed paper taxes

1

I have never filed taxes

11:02 PM

Don't tell anyone though

I just file 1 page per job

I got my US tax receipt the other day

1

The government does my taxes

1

Uhh 3 pages

"Tiralta"

i have never filed paper taxes

You don't save them as backups?

12:43 AM

Technically I think you're required to retain them for seven years

12:46 AM

Admittedly my question may be either too american or too millennial. Or both. So it can be a guess a number between one a one hundred game and imagine it's an essay on the cultural history of saudi arabia

1

I update my answer to 90 pages

1

The only page count I can think of right now is this year's business taxes, and I think that's probably higher than normal individuals

12:53 AM

I'm gonna say 4

Cat

Do any nearby Americans have examples of page counts

My 2022 return was 12 pages long

1

Luca

During the years that I did, what was the largest number of pages I turned in with my taxes

The most important question here: is this for your federal, your state, or combined?

1

Combined

4:57 AM

The fewest pages I've ever had to send appears to be....

4:58 AM

Ten

4:58 AM

For US

1

4:58 AM

Let's see how many pages we just sent to the canadian government

4:59 AM

Eighteen, although it was a joint return.

4:59 AM

And took perhaps what

5:00 AM

Thirty minutes

1

if that, yeah lol

5:00 AM

It also had the extra forms for both federal and provincial because of school fees

Emily

It also had the extra forms for both federal and provincial because of school fees

Honestly why mine were so long

Luca

And I'll tell you now, it was 2014

The kicker is that I made $8,000 in total that year

1

Luca

Ten

I'm gonna change my answer to be greater than ten

5:06 AM

How about 13

26

42

20

wow

Oh shit

"Tiralta"

Oh shit

have a good time getting audited ig

Correlation isn't causation, but there seems to be a strong trend between how many pages I sent per year and how much I got and or had to pay.

1

Luca

Ten

I was wrong, this was 7

6:29 PM

And I had to send in an additional $1,100

I should have spent another two weeks on it trying to break even.

its good! thank you!

the singularity is now actively forming in the speed of my spam email accumulation...

oooh nice work!

7:10 AM

glad i changed my answer still

As it is now tax season and I have just finished doing my taxes, I present the following question:

How much money did I owe the federal government this year before I realized I did my taxes all wrong and had to start over? The winner receives the @Legendary Food Critic role

While I'd assume USA taxes, I am inadequately informed about when tax season is for non-Americans so uhhhhh

It is in fact US tax season

7:58 AM

Oh, and I'll add an extra tidbit: my correct return is 26 pages long, my incorrect one was only 14.

I managed to get US healthcare by sending a letter saying I make no money and rely on the kindess of people but those people aren't doctors, so I don't think I'm qualified to think about american taxes either

£63.59

8:12 AM

Which is how much HMRC told me they owed me when they did my taxes for me last April so that is why I will guess it.

I'm going to guess like 15,000 cause America sucks ass?

Google tells me that's US$79.64

$2,500

20,000

I was thinking the same area as Nangka because it'd be the point when someone would realise they were filling it out incorrectly or missing something. So I'll guess $1850

I used to be able to translate between hex codes and precise colours in my mind, but alas I'm very out of practice

Thanks!

Shockinly low

I knew I was highballing but I didn’t know I was highhighballing

You could be a billionaire with those taxes

Maybe this is how Aav is breaking the news

While we're here can I get a table for two but not near the windows since the rotating makes me feel dizzy and while we're at it can you just stop rotating the restaurant while we're eating thank you so much

Done.

Hey thanks I'll be sure to tip at least 10 percent

I just backread approximately all of this channel and figured it would be fun to make up one of these! It won't be very good but it'll probably be better than nothing my home folder on my personal computer is 189.5 GB. How many individual files (not folders) are contained within? I think the usual way to do this is to explain how many there actually are in 1 week so i'll write down the answer somewhere :}

Tuluni wins with the closest guess of 750000!! (edited)

5:41 PM

I probably need to empty some folders!!

I made my guess based on my disk usage of ~400gb and then applying the ratio to the number of files

5:50 PM

So on average your files are roughly half as large as my files!

5:51 PM

Not sure how you are calculating closest guess though!

5:52 PM

Seems like I am the furthest away lol

Perhaps you are the. um. second closest without going under

wait i might be a fool
