    You're not familiar with the verse? That's fine
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I'm broadly familiar, but not in depth. This isn't really the reason I don't engage with it.

    To enlighten you, I somewhat infamously declared back in 2018 (when I became staff) that I wouldn't work with verses that made themselves more trouble than they were worth to me. At the time (and continuing to the present) this included, mainly, Dragon Ball and the HST. So I don't work on 'em, never have.

    I respectfully pass the buck, good luck.
    Could you close this crt? It has already been completed successfully
    Hello Bambu, could you please take a look and give some input in this CRT? I ask Ant input but he said it needed for another admin input to confirm (This is hard, because the thread haven't taken any more light... so could you please take a look at it?)

    we hateses the filthy tierses threads, gollum, gollum

    (I might when I have time)
    Hey Bambu, i don't know if it's allowed but could you please close this thread? you've been there and have seen how the OP doesn't listen to anyone, even the people trying to correct him, at this point it will just be a cicle of ad nauseam and the thread will become unnecessarily longer. Furthermore he appears to have used a fake scan in an attempt to support his arguments. So I would appreciate if the thread could be closed at this point🙏🏻.

    Oh, wow, I started typing a closure message, went out for like 30 minutes, came back and finished it, and then saw this. I suppose the closure was self-evidently needed.
    So sate my curiosity, I calculated the temperature needed to vaporize the Earth’s core, and I got a comical 2480102688 K!

    With what formula?
    Hagane_no_Saiyajin
    Hagane_no_Saiyajin
    Hagane_no_Saiyajin
    My mistake it’s actually 38643.50768 K, although the method is still the same:

    Heat of vaporization = 340000 J/mol

    molar mass = 0.055845 kg/mol

    Inner core iron density = 13000 kg/m^3 * 0.945 = 12285 kg/m^3

    Inner core radius = 1221000 m

    calculated inner core iron volume = 7.20555E+18 m^3

    calculated iron mass = 9.9124E+22 kg

    Gas constant = 8.31446261815324 JK−1⋅mol−1

    T = 340000*12285/0.055845*7.20555E+18/(9.9124E+22/.055845*8.31446261815324) = 38643.50768 K

    Hi. Today was movie night.

    The inner and outer core fluctuate in terms of how large they are, trading off one another. If you wanted to try to figure out how much that occurs, you probably could and it would result in a better calculation, strictly speaking.
    Could you calc how much heat Omni-Man is tanking in the black hole scene from Season 2? Since he's not inside the accretion disk itself he's not tanking all 10×10⁶°C of it, but the amount of thermal radiation he's getting from being right next to it should probably still net a value worth calcing.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Nope, haven't watched Season 2.
    Hey, I was wondering if you could please take a look at this calc? I asked you before and you said maybe and Idk if bumping in message walls work so I decided to resend the message. It's pretty important and you're the one of the only calc group members who look at Tokyo Revengers calcs.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Man. I was really hoping Carioca would handle it.

    The fact is that I don't like helping any singular verse too much, lest I be called upon for that verse constantly. I also don't approve of many, many, many calculations all roughly for the same thing or same range of tiers: there's too much work involved and so much time wasted if I'm just confirming, yep, he's still 9-C.

    Going through these takes some level of time, time that could be dedicated to another verse with less expectations of calc work needed to get it up and operational. So I have a personal distaste for a constant stream of calc requests and revisions and so on and so forth.

    I will look at it. But you need to understand that I'm not here to bat for Tokyo Revengers, I want to assist other verses with my limited VSBW time- limited further by other staff duties such as thread evaluations, discussion of site policy, rule violation management, and so on.

    Carioca told me to get an another Calc Group Member to ask so I got kinda impatient and decided to ask you again.

    I really respect you guys for your work🙏 Really sorry if I caused any disturbance :(

    I get it, I see now that Carioca is passing the buck. You're fine.

    On the SAO Upgrade thread, we've reached a deadlock again. I'm really losing the dedication to the revision at this point, so could we just go ahead with the compromise of a possibly/likely?

    IDK if I'll even be motivated enough to apply the changes if it goes on any longer, lol.

    Sorry for bugging you so much about this btw
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I will note that Clover, Dale, and DMUA don't count for evaluation purposes. The real voting with that would be 3:3, acknowledging that there's some variation on specifics. Hm.
    CurrySenpai
    CurrySenpai
    I mean, I’ve been fine from the beginning with possibly or likely, this feat does largely depend on how you interpret the scene.

    But don’t worry, I knew the Calc Mods don’t have actually votes that count towards the “CRT Completion tally.” That’s why I asked if we could come to some compromise, due to tying once more
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Have all of those staff replied recently? Or, at least, since Agnaa's general argument was made? Because it was Agnaa that convinced me to the opposition, and if they haven't spoken, I reckon a recount may be easier than getting more staff.
    There is the Yeti, who shakes the entire ice cave when he walks.
    Vídeo 1 / Vídeo 2

    A colleague said it would be 8-B (going from that magnitude 4 thing)

    If it were calculated, together, what value do you think it could be?
    Hey Mr Bambu, sorry to bother you but you're the only staff online atm. Could you please close this thread when you get the chance? Thanks a bunch.

    Hello Bambu, I have a question about one of the calcs: If I got two approvals, each with different opinions. For example, if Mod 1 agrees with the low ball and Mod 2 agrees with the high ball, what should I use? Can i use any?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Sorta sucks but you need either a greater appeal for one over the other- you can get one CGM to agree to change their position, or get more calc group people in.

    also, if they were just mods and not CGMs, they can't evaluate calcs, by the way- not sure if this is the case but you using the word "mod" made me wanna make sure that was understood.
    Pedonar

    Whats the difference between cgm and mod
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    CGM is Calc Group Member- a specific staff role that denotes someone who is authorized to evaluate calculations. Other people can give their opinions on calcs, of course, but only CGMs can actually accept them.
    Do you know how big an average medieval kingdom is?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Not remotely. Suppose it would depend greatly on whether they were ruled by a king (as implied by the name) or some lord, which would reduce the scope by a terrible amount. Britain was a kingdom, as was France.
    Omnificence
    Omnificence
    So, would you recommend using either of those two countries?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    No, not really, I was just offering some sense of scale for what a "kingdom" entails. Luxembourg was also a kingdom, which would be on the lower end of kingdoms that endured to the modern day. As I said, I don't really know what the average would be.
    We need the calc group's opinions. Could you please leave a comment on this thread?
    If someone changes a profile without a crt, but putting something simple like "willpower", is it plausible to report? Or is it too small a change?

    Presuming it's not like, a brand new profile and something that was just forgotten when it was published, that requires a CRT. The user in question may not be aware but reporting it is justified.
    This thread is reopened, and I have made what is my last argument unless something surprisingly groundbreaking shows up for the opposition or myself.

    Can you look at this when you're free?

    Mr. Bambu
    I assume you mean the flavor text for logging off. I don't think it has any combat applicability but Astral Projection sounds about right, or you could go with Dimensional Travel (and specify that only the consciousness can do that).
    Phsccarvalho
    Phsccarvalho
    The point is that you leave the "ghost of your body" when you do this.

    Wouldn't the two skills you indicated leave a physical body? Unless I can put in astral projection and say that the body left is that of a ghost.

    I wonder if I can give some kind of immortality with this, since the player's consciousness goes to another plane of existence while the ghost of their body remains.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I don't know if I'd take Ghost as a literal thing here given that it's specifying that only the consciousness has left.
    Hi again

    I saw you already participated in some Calvin and Hobbes threads, if there ins´t any problem, can you give your thoughts about this one?
    Accelerated_Evolution
    Accelerated_Evolution
    I personally don´t care for the "Is Hobbes real or not" subject, i requested you to see the thread due to things like Calvin´s Gifted Intelligence and Physics Manipulation

    If you will not see it then it´s fine
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I have been on this wiki since 2016. I have retained my sanity for that duration of time by knowing when to cut oneself off from a verse that is represented as being so alienated from what I know to be true. This is why I made the DOOM verse page and do not engage with DOOM as a verse any longer, for example.

    To a less egregious degree, Calvin and Hobbes is in this same category of purgatory verses. I will not deal in it, no- but I was sincere in offering good luck.
    Accelerated_Evolution
    Accelerated_Evolution
    Okay, i will respect your decision

    Hello sir, I want to ask something.

    This Ice is stated as Absolute Coldness where everything turned still. As if the world stopped, seemed to freeze space and there are no fluctuations. It can stop blood flowing, freeze particles and affected soul. There was no heat, no light, no life. Anything contacts instantly froze then disintegrated or turned into nothingness.

    Is it enough for Absolute Zero? or it not sufficient? Thanks.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Supernatural effects have no bearing on whether we'd call something Absolute Zero- there's ice in verses that can freeze concepts and thoughts through cold alone and still have not been considered to be Absolute Zero.

    As for your question: maybe. A lot of that is the aforementioned random supernatural stuff tacked onto the core idea. Very specific words or phrases would make for better evidence- statements that it is as cold as something can get or colder than is otherwise physically possible, etc. The fact that it has all these supernatural properties make the other things that may or may not be supernatural seem less like a result of the cold and more like a result of unnatural qualities this particular cold possesses.

    Hey, will I need to get more people than you to review my Thread to get it approved and if so, who are members on the forum who work on the Monster Hunter part who can approve my Thread?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Hi, sorry, I've had a lot of requests since yesterday, I will get to it.

    Monster Hunter doesn't really have a super active work force (even I am only here partially, I worked on World a bunch when it came out and then never really returned). DMUA is the main staff member working on Monster Hunter but as he is a calc group member, he cannot officially evaluate threads. The other current evaluating staff who has worked on Monster Hunter in the past would be Sir Ovens.
    TheAlmightyKoals
    TheAlmightyKoals
    No worries you're a mod so you being busy is understandable, also thank you for informing me of the other people who do Monster Hunter Thread reviews.
    Hey Bambu, you ended up becoming my target for questions, so if this bothers you please tell me.

    Anyway, on Meridian59 I made two videos defeating statues and skeletons. One had the Touch of Flame magic and a weapon.

    With Touch of Flame, a vsbattle colleague of mine made this calculation.
    OK,

    It took seven blows for the arm to disappear, if that power is the touch of fire:

    The volume of an arm is 3958 cm³, since there is no steam, I will use melting.
    Rock melting value is 6174.5 J/cc

    6174.5 * 3958 = 24,438,671 J (9-A)

    24,438,671/7 = 3,491,238.71 (9-B+)


    (In the translator some "," became "." and some "." turned into ",", I don't know if that changes anything)

    The question I'm unsure about is the number of hits. I'm not even close to the maximum level of this game and for example stronger fire spells (I used the most basic fire spell in the game)

    And I've seen calculations in Games/RPGs that didn't use the number of hits to break something or to kill an enemy.

    Example:
    Cuphead (I think the result is not divided by the number of bullets it takes the cuphead to destroy the pillar)
    Hylics (I also think that the calculation does not take into account the different attacks that the enemy MAY take and in the end have their life reduced to 0 to die and disappear or liquefied as in the original calculation)

    So, what should I do? Stone statues were the enemies with the greatest durability right away (because they are made of stone) to calculate.

    If you are strong enough, with any weapon, attack magic (fire, electricity, acid, etc.) you can kill them and the arm and head will always disappear when they are dying.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Do we know if the statue-guy was dodging attacks there?

    Failing all else, given the proximity to 9-B+, I think taking the lower end of your friend's calc is probably fine. Similar attacks that can one-shot the arm would scale to the full 9-A, since you mentioned a rather large disparity in damages and this being the weakest.
    Phsccarvalho
    Phsccarvalho
    See the chat, it shows what happens.

    The statue deviates from some moments. It also blocks.

    Also, it took a lot longer than 7 hits, I think my colleague missed attacks in the chat. And this is for this specific fire magic, which used melting, and not physical attacks or electricity, etc.

    Furthermore, it's impossible for me to test everything in the game to see what it's like. I'm not even close to the maximum level or spells and I've already played 90 hours.

    That's why I asked if I could do it like Cuphead and Hylics.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    We wouldn't really want you to be maximum level when testing lower-end spells, I think. Blocking similarly probably wouldn't matter (it would still be blocking with its arms), only dodging would.

    You're asking if we can just use the full value, I don't think that's right. Determining the number of attacks taken would be better.
