  • I have many responsibilities on this site, and this means I only wear each hat for as long as is necessary. Therefore, you may leave CRT/calc eval/whatever requests, and I will try to get to it, but understand that my time is limited and I'm normally already tapped for some wiki policy matter or maintaining the wiki management threads or handling account issues for users who never seem to get things right. Low priority requests include tiershit, particularly active verses, and discussions with a lot of active staff voices already present. I'm not saying "no" but I probably won't get to them. If I don't reply, smart money says it won't be me to get to it. Sorry.
    Hello @Mr. Bambu, if you have some free time, can you check this out?
    The CRT is simple, and the CRT itself is just an in-between change, to have a FNAF something going on while I prepare my much larger one. So it's by no means anything that needs to be done now, so take your time.

    (My wording sucks, what I am trying to say is that the CRT is pretty much irrelevant and it is no difference to me, if it's done today or in some weeks.)
    Heya Bambu, another quick question again.

    Right now we assume that time is by default infinite (hence why a space-time continuum of universal size is Low 2-C) but what if a verse state verbatim that space and time can't be infinite? Does it mean it would only be 3-A at best, even if it contains stuff like parallel worlds? Or would we just...bypass the statement?

    I have no idea and I am pleased that deciding that does not fall to me lol

    I guess I'll make just a random question thread? I don't think it's worth any staff thread
    Hi, could you evaluate this thread please?

    Hello, I need input for this simple and straightforward crt.
    Hi there. Could I please comment on the Popular Verse staff thread as well? It's in regards to GoH which, while popular in vs threads, is not at all that popular/controversial in terms of CRTs
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I don't want to overwhelm the thread with this sort of thing, but I will hesitantly extend permission for a post, yeah.

    Alright, thank you.
    Hello, can I comment on the Popular Verse staff discussion? The Ultra Series is not really that popular in things like match ups and I want to suggest its removal from the list
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Matchups isn't the main thing I'd look at for this, and it's been accurately pointed out that one should be considering how controversial it tends to be as well. Still, you have my permission to make a post.
    Hello, I need perms to write in this staff discussion. Kamen Rider isn't as popular as it initially was, and I want to suggest its removal from the popular list due to recent circumstances.
    Hello Bambu, it may be a dumb question, but regarding that thread, I have a question.

    Is the verse popularity is based on the popularity "outside the wiki" or the one it has "inside" the wiki?

    While obviously, one answer could be to just say that most of the time, they overlap with one another, I feel like a few anomalies could exist. For example, JTTW is obviously one of the most known piece of literature in the world, yet there are "little" activity (non-zero) regarding it on the wiki, does that mean it would warrant three staff instead of two?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Inside the wiki. I talked about this before but we'd in no way offer this sort of thing to something like Disney's various properties or something like Game of Thrones even though those two definitely mog a property even so large as Dragon Ball, it just doesn't make sense to police them with so little presence in powerscaling. The rules as they are only apply to verses with extreme activity within our hobby.
    SweetDao
    SweetDao
    Another point, just to be sure. You're saying "inside the wiki" and "extreme activity within our hobby", but does that mean "popular verse within the PWS sphere"?

    Like, for example Instant Death or World of Darkness are two verses that, sadly, get a lot of attentions from powerscalers (and beside maybe ID with me/some other people, both doesn't have "much" activity on the wiki), what would be a correct way to treat them? (I know it's what staff members are discussing, but I'm moreso asking your opinion on it)
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I'd have them fall under the rule, notoriety is a factor we ought to consider.
    Hi Bambu👋

    Could you give your input here please?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I'm probably not going to speak on this, but that is because I do not consider myself competent enough to prod at a new equation proposal and accurately determine if it ought or ought not be used. I'll leave this to people like DontTalk or Ugarik.
    Hello sir ,sorry for disturbing but would you take a look at this please
    Hello, would you be willing to evaluate this?

    Heyo, just thought you might be interested in checking out this calc. It pretty heavily influences scaling for mid-late game Elden Ring, although it requires some interpretation I'd appreciate your input on.

    Actually, looking at the wording behind the statements now, is it possible that the sealing itself didn't involve the destruction/sinking of the city? Like, is it possible to assume that the sealing is its own event, but that the sealing wasn't sinking the cities themselves but rather some other act that enclosed them in the earth? By that I mean, the destruction would be the actual attack, destroying the ground bellow them, while the sealing was covering them up.

    Like I said, there is kind of a shitload of evidence. We have a bunch of other calcs that I literally just interpretations and they are allowed to stay as "likely" and "possibly" on character profiles. I don't see why this one couldn't be any different.

    Again, I want to make it clear that I don't feel your position is impossible, I just don't think it bridges the gap to being likely enough for a "possibly" rating; it's basically always possible that any character is any tier, we just need to surpass a threshold of reliability and legitimacy to assign such a rating on the page.

    To answer the question, yeah, that sounds plausible, but it's among other explanations: perhaps the Eternal Cities were simply teleported to a series of caverns? Perhaps sealing them away simply involved restricting them to the cities, and the Earth swallowed them over the long course of time(as is the case in real life)? My point is not to suggest any of these, but rather to say that nothing strongly confirms any one explanation.
    Chritin

    I get what you're saying. I guess I just think think this is a more reliable explanation above any others.

    Like with the other examples of possibilities, Astel doesn't seem to have any form of large scale teleportation, only being able to transport himself. I suppose you could argue that the Ainsel River and Siofra River possible existed before they ended up there, but still. In terms of them simply being sealed within the city, there isn't really anything to indicate that either beyond the fact that they're just hard to get to. There are even some Nox based enemies outside of the Eternal Cities, implying that they aren't simply trapped in there (although the statement of the cities being sealed on its own says nothing about the people being sealed).

    I wrote all this before kind of realizing your point wasn't to push any of those claims, but my point still stands. I feel as if we know enough about how they were destroyed, who did it, how long it took, etc, to make this a fairly solid piece of scaling.
    Would you mind taking a look and commenting if you have the time?

    Can you eval this please?

    STAFF LEND ME YOUR POWER AND BESTOW THIS THREAD WITH A VOTE

    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Hard to vote on something that doesn't have a proposal. I've moved your thread for now.
    Hi, could you evaluate this thread please? 🙏


    Also hoping it was a good ride to Ohio.
    Hello, I have a technical question. How many staff votes do I need to get Acausality type 5 for non-Tier 0 character with accepted rating in previous crts approved? I currently have 2 admin approvals(including admin knowledgeable on the verse), should I look for third admin or is it fine to apply with 2?
    Sorry to bother but could you check this CRT out please? Thanks in advance
