01:05:30] <UraniumAnchor> I need to write a script that strips twitch faces out of incoming messages and then ignores the message completely if there's nothing else in it
[01:06:06] <Lenophis> =p
[01:06:17] <UraniumAnchor> because holy fuck 10 people can make the chat room completely unusable if the mods don't jump on it
[01:06:21] <Corrodias> that's a nice idea
[01:06:23] <SexualRickshaw> That would be a great idea for SRL-related marathon
[01:06:32] <SexualRickshaw> Becuase the same problem existed during the KoP marathon
[01:06:49] <UraniumAnchor> And people want an unmoderated chat for AGDQ
[01:06:51] <UraniumAnchor> And those people are stupid
[01:07:00] <spineshark> this is way more fucking ridiculous than KoP lmao
[01:07:11] <Corrodias> aaaabsolutely no way would i like that
[01:10:33] <RedArremer> the trihex spam has been going on for about 20 minutes <.<
[01:10:57] <UraniumAnchor> it's the same 10 people
[01:11:29] <RedArremer> yeah it is
[01:11:31] <SexualRickshaw> well, KoP was nothing but "SPOOBY PLS"
[01:13:12] <spork_kitty> Is there a stream going on or something?
[01:13:39] <spork_kitty> I finished part 1 of my Crystal stream. Got to Violet City with a Quilava, Bellsprout, and Geodude. :D
[01:13:43] <RedArremer> smw marathon spork_kitty
[01:13:54] <spork_kitty> Super Mario World?
[01:14:08] <RedArremer> well, it's organized by the #smw channel guys
[01:14:14] <RedArremer> http://www.twitch.tv/smwmarathon
[01:14:20] <RedArremer> mario world was part of it
[01:15:07] <spork_kitty> Super Monkey Ball?
[01:15:09] <spork_kitty> lame
[01:15:10] <spork_kitty> :/
[01:15:42] <SexualRickshaw> totally staying up for Chinese A Link to the Past because I know nothing about it
[01:15:58] <Corrodias> it's a little ironic that the streamers claim that the chat is great and they don't need to moderate it, because i don't personally consider abandoning it to spam to be a good alternative to moderating it and making it useful.
[01:16:12] <doicm> love SMB
[01:16:24] <dbx> Let the chat have some fun
[01:16:33] <dbx> that's what it's all about
[01:16:42] <MexiricanBassMonkey> great run dbx
[01:16:47] <UraniumAnchor> Yeah, no
[01:16:51] <UraniumAnchor> Gonna have to disagree with you there
[01:16:53] <Corrodias> apparently, and it's not about discussing anything in the marathon
[01:16:58] <RedArremer> spork_kitty only for the next 20 or so minutes, gonna be the chinese LttP bootleg later :)
[01:17:04] <dbx> thanks it's kind of fell apart at the end but I had fun
[01:17:06] <MexiricanBassMonkey> came back from the movies towards the end and caught some great parts
[01:17:07] <UraniumAnchor> 10 people spamming twitch faces makes the chat room completely unusable
[01:17:11] <UraniumAnchor> that's not fun
[01:17:18] <spork_kitty> RedArremer: Huh, that might be interesting.
[01:17:24] <Corrodias> it's fun for them
[01:17:29] <UraniumAnchor> it's fun for the 10 people, clearly
[01:17:30] <dbx> seems usable to me ppl are using it
[01:17:38] <UraniumAnchor> traffic != use
[01:17:42] <Corrodias> i have tried to use it and was not able to
[01:17:50] <doicm> chat was pretty useless at that point
[01:17:58] <UraniumAnchor> Legit questions instantly disapepar because there's nothing but a sea of twitch faces
[01:18:00] <Corrodias> UA is very clear on that point
[01:18:05] <RedArremer> i actually wanted to ask a harvet moon related question, but the twitch face spam actually made it impossible
[01:18:05] * aihema (aihema@m2k2-67311CE4.cable.virginmedia.com) Quit (Quit: )
[01:18:07] <dbx> lol
[01:18:10] <UraniumAnchor> See?
[01:18:15] <RedArremer> harvest*
[01:18:25] <dbx> during cs I had an easy time picking out questions and garrison challenged them
[01:18:41] <Corrodias> well, the rest of the streamers are not doing that.
[01:18:47] <dbx> asked them to tone it down and they did, seems good to me
[01:18:54] <UraniumAnchor> that's the problem, though

[01:19:01] <UraniumAnchor> nobody asked them to tone down the trihex face spam
[01:19:07] <UraniumAnchor> so there was 20 minutes where nobody could ask anything
[01:19:33] <dbx> were u not around when garrison challenged them?
[01:19:39] <Garrison> I did
[01:19:42] <Corrodias> what "challenge"?
[01:19:46] <UraniumAnchor> challenged them to do what exactly
[01:19:52] <dbx> to spam trihard lol
[01:19:53] <Garrison> to spam trihard for the remainder of the run
[01:19:53] <UraniumAnchor> Make the chat useless for 20 minutes?
[01:19:55] <MSDS3170> we purposely asked them to continue and the did, and then we asked them to slow down and they did
[01:19:56] <dbx> until the race ended
[01:20:11] <UraniumAnchor> Well, mission accomplished I suppose
[01:20:14] <Corrodias> what am i supposed to take away from this?
[01:20:14] <Garrison> no need to banhammer literally everyone
[01:20:18] <Garrison> yes, mission accomplished
[01:20:20] <Garrison> people had fun
[01:20:23] <UraniumAnchor> But that's not how we'll be running things
[01:20:25] <MSDS3170> ya gotta give the stream monsters credit and let them have some fun
[01:20:26] <Corrodias> some people had fun
[01:20:30] <dbx> take away from it? chill out and have a good time
[01:20:33] <Garrison> that's fine
[01:20:39] <Corrodias> at the expense of other people
[01:21:00] <SexualRickshaw> it was funny for the first... 30 seconds
[01:21:06] <SexualRickshaw> after that it was annoying and quite stupid
[01:21:31] <Garrison> I guess I'll take thousands having fun spamming over a few people being sticks in the mud
[01:21:42] <UraniumAnchor> Yeah because that's totally what it is
[01:21:46] <spork_kitty> MSDS3170: Their "having fun" gets in the way of people actually talking.
[01:21:52] <UraniumAnchor> And not 10 people drowning out everything else asking people to shut up
[01:21:55] <spork_kitty> I can totally see why people would have a problem with emoticon spam
[01:21:57] <SexualRickshaw> yes, chat is moving incredibly slow now that the Trihex spam has ended
[01:22:00] <Garrison> it was well over ten people
[01:22:06] <Corrodias> insult me, that'll make me agree with you more
[01:22:09] <MSDS3170> for a 50 hour marathon, there's plenty of time to have discussions
[01:22:25] <spork_kitty> Not everyone's going to be there for the entire 50 hours.
[01:22:30] <spork_kitty> Especially if they see there's a bunch of spam
[01:22:34] <SexualRickshaw> and some games warrant more discussion than others
[01:22:35] <Corrodias> it's plenty of time, but it can't happen
[01:22:35] <MSDS3170> if you look at the chat its quite tame now
[01:22:45] <doicm> in any case, some people didn't get questions answered about the run
[01:22:45] <spork_kitty> Yeah, I see
[01:22:48] <Garrison> harvest moon took a huge blow lol
[01:23:00] <doicm> but it's probably the least likely game to get questioned
[01:23:02] <spork_kitty> I'm just saying I understand (and agree) regarding the spam
[01:23:08] <Garrison> it calmed down becaause we asked
[01:23:12] <Garrison> exactly once
[01:23:24] <UraniumAnchor> That's not the issue
[01:23:29] <UraniumAnchor> The issue is that you let it go on so long :P
[01:23:34] <UraniumAnchor> And I know it was intentional
[01:23:38] <Garrison> during harvest moon lol
[01:23:47] <Garrison> a run where we literally slept for near 50 minutes
[01:23:56] <Corrodias> the harvest moon was a complete joke, i suppose. an insult to the viewers.
[01:24:00] <Corrodias> is that true?
[01:24:01] <MSDS3170> just a difference of opinions here really, the marathon is still running smoothly so we're accomplishing our goal
[01:24:18] <Garrison> an insult, no
[01:24:22] <UraniumAnchor> I think we're mostly in agreement then
[01:24:26] <Garrison> it's actually filler that we had fun with
[01:24:36] <Garrison> filling later stuff is hard
[01:24:54] <UraniumAnchor> My problem is that people are going to use it as an excuse to whine when people get kicked for spamming during AGDQ3
[01:24:56] <Garrison> and we worked too damn hard for people to say stuff like that
[01:25:04] <Garrison> I'm sorry y'all feel that way, it wasn't my intent
[01:25:14] * agill (DK64@m2k2-92404C5D.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Quit: stupid sexy flanders)
[01:25:17] <spork_kitty> Garrison?
[01:25:45] * kashan (kashan@m2k2-CDBA99E3.ok.ok.cox.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
[01:25:49] <spork_kitty> What sort of filler are you talking about?
[01:25:53] <UraniumAnchor> If anything making people watch Monkey Ball Jr is more of an insult than Harvest Moon
[01:25:58] <UraniumAnchor> Because this game looks fucking terrible
[01:26:11] <Miles> *is
[01:26:12] <Garrison> golden actually worked pretty hard on this run, so thanks
[01:26:21] <Corrodias> took me half an hour to get them to straighten out the mistake in processing my own donation comment because i couldn't get ahold of anybody
[01:26:25] <UraniumAnchor> Oh I can tell he put a lot of effort into it
[01:26:28] <MSDS3170> unlike some people who barely practiced for their SM run lol
[01:26:39] <dbx> ^
[01:26:42] <UraniumAnchor> Uh
[01:26:53] <UraniumAnchor> First off, no
[01:27:06] <UraniumAnchor> Second off, I practiced it and also had three other games to worry about on top of being a full time student :P
[01:27:17] <UraniumAnchor> So I'm not sure why you're suddenly trying to dig at me for no reason
[01:27:28] <MSDS3170> sorry but you clearly asked for it there
[01:27:33] <Lenophis> ^
[01:27:35] <Garrison> because the words you're saying have a tinge of insult to them
[01:27:40] <dbx> you're being incredibly rude
[01:27:43] <Corrodias> no, he's right, it looks terrible.
[01:27:49] <Kirua> i enjoyed it.
[01:27:50] <Corrodias> the game's graphics are not your problem.
[01:27:57] <Kirua> what's the problem with monkey ball jr.
[01:28:06] <Corrodias> it's not rude, it's not insulting, and it's not wrong.
[01:28:06] <MSDS3170> a terrible looking game with alot of heart
