Kobold King he/him Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 What on earth is that profile picture from?
Joe ST he/him Posted June 12, 2015 Author Posted June 12, 2015 Its a bearded robocop. I found it many a moon ago. The artist did a full series. I've always been a robot, and I've always been inside your computers. Now I am the creator of cuddleswarms. I make robotic cuddles and things. When I figure it out I will make them real and you will all be welcome to them, free of charge. 2
Haelbarde he/him Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 How big is the coppermind? What does it look like? Does the fact I can at to it mean I'm a copper ferring? Is it still looking for a new icon?
Joe ST he/him Posted June 13, 2015 Author Posted June 13, 2015 Yes to the icon The coppermind is fairly big, we're approaching 2500 articles and 5000 pages (including help pages, disambiguation pages, redirects, etc). It looks like it has for the past few years really. And if you had to be a copper ferring to see it, it wouldn't be half the place you see now, thanks to all the amazing editors
Haelbarde he/him Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 But does it have physical manifestation in copper?
Joe ST he/him Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 OK I thought I'd bring this back, see if anyone bites.... Apologies Haelbarde I have no answer for that
Haelbarde he/him Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Did this disappear? I went looking for it once, and couldn't find it. Re: my question, I guess there's likely copper in the server hardware and the various network infrastructure which supports the 17thshard. I guess that'll have to do.How many people have you managed to recruit through the AMA subforum? Has this been your best avenue of advertising?
Joe ST he/him Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 heheheh, that's a good question, I've so far not really recruited anyone, unless Coma comes back and helps more. which of course I hope they do and are hopeful that they will. The most successful (not by far) avenue has been various IRC chatrooms, where I pester and prod and eventually have built up enough encouragement that people take a plunge and give it a try. The Bonanza that ran in June was also pretty successful, with more than fifty editors joining in and more than 700 different articles edited (this is discounting the staffs contributions, who each succeeded in contributing more than everyone else combined XD). I've also had good success convincing various tumblr fanartists and people like Shroom who is great at occasional editing. (and yeah, I hid it because I felt nobody wanted to ask me anything that I could answer or something equally depressing)
Haelbarde he/him Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Awww.... but I had wanted to ask you something, and then was said when I couldn't find it :'(
Joe ST he/him Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 No pets for me, I'm not really up for the responsibility, or into the whole ownership of them, and I don't really want to be killed by the various allergies I suffer. I just don't really get attached or want to interact with animals mostly. Very awkwardly ignore any such that approaches me XD
Quiver he/him Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 If we were to ask you a logical impossibility, would you shut down, explode, or enter "Kill all Humans" mode?
Haelbarde he/him Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 What is the most satisfying thing about Wikiing? What does the moon taste like?
Joe ST he/him Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 If we were to ask you a logical impossibility, would you shut down, explode, or enter "Kill all Humans" mode? Naw, given that my very existence is a logical impossibility, I think I'm ok with being asked. I do have the ability to recognise such questions as fallacy and act accordingly What is the most satisfying thing about Wikiing? What does the moon taste like? The most satisfying thing, hmmmmm... I think my favourite thing about it is that we get to know that we helped the people coming to look at articles.. not especially that Brandon/Peter use the wiki for things XD I do somewhat like to gloat when I/the wiki pass arbitrary milestones (like our 2500th article was made during the Bonanza, and I'm kinda approaching/chasing having made at least 50% of all the edits on the coppermind, because I have far too much time on my hands XD) Having spent my childhood watching Wallace and Gromit, I'd think you'd know my answer to that
Delightful Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 So are you an AI? Computer? Physical robot? Can your consciousness be either downloaded, or uploaded, or both?
Joe ST he/him Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 According to something from a few years ago on the forum (somewhere) I am a digital kandra embued in the beard of a robot lifeless who's been invested with various spikes (mostly thanks to being staff here) XD
Edgedancer he/him Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I love my robot beard XD What material is it made from?
Delightful Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 What material is it made from?This is the most important question in the history of ever. 1
Joe ST he/him Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 it's a decorative mash of extrusions from my self-repair subsystem, so it can be a bunch of different things. sometimes it has colourful strands, sometimes it's threaded with glowing led hairs. mostly it's just generic boring wire tho XD
Delightful Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Like stiff metal wire? Sounds uncomfortable. Or like a True Body. Or both.
Joe ST he/him Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 it can be thick sometimes yeah, but mostly it's pretty thin and flexible, and I oft keep it short XD
