  • 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.
    I need an administrator to allow me to make a suggestion for an addition to the Wiki rules, can you help me?

    It's basically a discussion about "Talking is a free action", in 2018 there was a thread to discuss this and adding a rule about it, but it wasn't closed, but recently a Staff Member used a conversation as an mainly argument to invalidate a feat. If the topic hadn't been abandoned we would probably have a rule preventing this type of argument. I have a ready text about what I would like to say, but I don't know if it's appropriate just to paste here.

    Mr. Bambu
    Talking isn't a free action, I'd say that if someone is talking then the timeframe for a feat changes. You can create a thread on the subject, I give permission even though I disagree, however you can't revive the old conversation. It's been so long that most of our staff team has changed from 2018 to 2025- I started in 2018 and I'm considered fairly old.

    I just ask you to forgive me please I beg you forgive me, and I did not become aggressive and insulting look if you think I did it to make you feel bad forgive me but I promise you that I did not do it with that intention I just expressed myself badly and I am sorry for this please when you read this, I ask for your forgiveness

    I don't hate you and I'm not really even mad at you, you're just pushing this matter but the calc as it was is wrong.

    If you have an alternate method of deriving height in mind, I'm content to revise the calc. Some shots imply the crystals are larger, but Puss is never close enough to use those shots, and it may be a trick of perspective.

    Thank you and I apologize again
    Should this be a staff thread or no
    Sorry for asking you again today, since I know you're busy, but would you be willing to check this CRT out?...
    Could you please leave a comment in this thread?
    Hello Bambu
    Can you help me in changing my username?
    I want to change it to "Akane".

    Thanks.

    You'll have to speak to a bureaucrat about that.
    Hello again, does the wiki accept spoofs such as this? If not, I'm fine with it's deletion.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Looking into it, I think it runs into two notable issues, one we have historically deleted profiles with significant prejudice with.

    The first and more tenuous issue is our rules regarding real life people. It's tenuous because it is a parody of the person, rather than a dramatization (such as a stage persona- we've blocked things like musical artist pages in the past). However, we have deleted "problematic" people's profiles before under this rule, so the precedence here is dicey.

    The other rule that I think more likely kills this is the plain and simple fact that this is a video game parody, a la Red vs Blue, only (I presume) without the express permission of the original creators to use their medium for this purpose. It is animated via The Sims 2, a private property the creators don't own. We haven't allowed people to create verses or pages for such things as a result, it must be strictly original.
    Hello Bambu. I was wondering if you could promote the WoD CRT to other administrators and Content Moderators. As it unfortunately has been insanely inactive.

    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    turns out when your upgrades hail from a war of attrition over two years with evaluating staff, people tend to avoid your verse

    I don't really want to do that. I wouldn't subject others to what I, myself, wouldn't want to be subjected to. Sorry man. Good luck.

    Oi you groggy sack of life, do we have any shockwave feat guidelines and formulas?
    First_Witch
    First_Witch
    Just wondering if there are any requirements and rules that would make a shockwave feat uncalcable or useless.

    Could you elaborate on the formular?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Fully missed this shit.

    I could foresee there being instances where a shockwave is not usable (such as causing no damage to anything), but these things are so ingrained in context that it would be easier for you to provide the specific example you're thinking of.

    Sure. First, you would get a destruction value somehow. Since we're speaking in hypotheticals, let's say the shockwave shattered a steel door at a radius of twenty meters from its center. You would get the value for that (voila, 1.289e7 Joules) and the directional surface area of the door (let's say 2 m^2 for simplicity's sake). Now, you need to get intensity of the shockwave.

    For my sake, I'm going to take the shape of this hypothetical shockwave as a hemisphere (or half a sphere). With a 20 meter radius, the surface area of that hemisphere cap is 2513.3 m^2. We know that 2 m^2 of that fragmented a steel door, so it's time to get intensity, which is a very simple calculation: 1.289e7 / 2 = 6.445e6 Joules/m^2. The net energy of the shockwave is the intensity multiplied by its surface area. So:

    6.445e6 Joules/m^2 * 2.513.3 m^2 = 1.620e11 Joules, City Block level.
    Hello
    you seem to disagree with the current tiering (1-A particularly), is there a thread where you discussed and argued on why ? i just want to see your point of view on the tiering system.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    On tiering in general? No, I've never made a thread to discuss that, and I almost certainly never will.

    My thought process is simple. It is entirely arbitrary. All of the tiering system past a point is based on mutual agreement as to what constitutes greater powers- the real science community has no consensus on these things, and we are hardly scientists. We simplify the concepts explored by the brightest minds in the world down to something the average 20-something can understand without getting bored and hamfist it to something workable by our standards. None of it is real. R>F is only a philosophy, a consideration applied to something that isn't real. It's just as valid as the next thing, we have a system derived from the musings of one or two people who thought about it for a long time.

    I don't think tier 1 exists, and if it does, we may be the least qualified people in the world to decipher it. "We" as in, the royal we, all powerscalers. Still. People want the higher numbers, eh? So, we have it. It is what it is.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    To answer a question I foresee as plausibly forthcoming. "Why don't you make a thread?"

    I don't like arguing, really. It's sort of counter-productive, to have that trait on a wiki dedicated to arguing, but I have been fortunate enough to be recognized as reliable, so I don't need to argue to have a say. I really am fairly non-confrontational, I rarely make threads myself to pursue things. I say what I think and sometimes people agree. I don't habitually debate, my interest is not in arguing, least of all something so unlikely to succeed. The end truth of the matter is that most users really like Tier 1. It would be an insanely unpopular move to remove it. Most people would convince themselves we're wrong, anyway. So, I am content to just let others handle it.
    Hello! Can you check this QnA thread later? Don't worry, I won't trick you as last time. There's no xianxia or anime shenanigans.

    It's just a simple QnA thread talking about whether we can use blogs that are made in other sites/apps, like Notion.
    Hey Bambu, it’s been a while. A few years back you helped me with a crt to upgrade an obscure verse Adventure quest. I never got around to making the profiles for the Dhe Ehm (You concluded they were tier 1 but not bound to the realities of the game itself) but given how much has changed in the tiering system I figured I’d ask if you’d be interested in taking a look at another upgrade with more information and context. I’ll link it Here.

    Thank you again for the assistance, hope all is well 🙏🏽
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Hi. I don't remember you in particular, but the "Dhe Ehm" phrase rings a bell. I actively avoid Tier 1 discussions these days (I did back then as well, but may have made an exception). I hope you get the eyes on it you want. Good luck.

    Need one more staff on this 6 month thread. Can you take a look at it
    Howdy Bambu, thank you for all the help with the Lupin stuff despite how info-dense it was. Got a much more simple revision which is just establishing changes for feats that were already accepted in a previous CRT which now have accepted calculations.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I've replied, but you ought to know I disagree with literally 100% of the thread, sorry.
    Detective_Blizzard
    Detective_Blizzard
    That is fine, I gave my response to your criticisms. Just as a friendly reminder of what the current profiles view as "consistent" there are only 2 AP/DP feats used in the verse that are not from the 1970s with one of them being city block level. Only including the mainline stuff would make all of the feats 40 years behind current stuff as those two are from side projects, with there being nothing for current age material.
    Hello Bambu (I miss you.) How can you upload a prepared profile of a character to the wiki?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    There's a lot of obvious issues ("formed a tornado a tornado"), but the biggest question is whether you have any calcs for the statistics? You have her at wall level with no calcs.
    Ar1216789
    Ar1216789
    I fixed that.

    Shaking a house, sending someone flying a vast distance (twice) while breaking a large glass window on both should be sufficient for Wall Level without the need for calculations.

    The subsonic speed is probably gonna need a a calc though. Forming a large tornado via speed which moved a cow and a wooden plank should be enough, but I'll ask someone to calc it.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    You need calculations. Speculation doesn't do. If there's a standard calc that covers them, fine, no worries in that instance.
    Hi. I edited this thread. You calc was accepted (starts from EDIT in bold style) Can you check it please
    Hello! A character's body is 4300 times denser than steel. Based on this information, can this character's stamina and AP be calculated? If yes, how can I calculate it?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Probably not from that information on its own, do they like punch people or tackle them?
    ByArrow
    He stands in front of a car traveling at least 65 km/h and it hits him. The impact splits the front part of the car in half between the front part and the windshield. Police calculations showed that what the car hit was something 4300 times denser than steel.

    I calculated the destroyed part of the car, but I wondered if the character being 4300 times denser than steel was calculable. Maybe it would give a higher result?
    Hello! You're the popularity judge, right?

    I request audience on this CRT, since some people think it is not popular. Help 🙏😞

    Hello, can you please give your input on this thread? It's been months since this thread was created, and only one staff member has given their input. So, if you could give your input, it would be appreciated. Thanks."
    Hi, would you be willing to evaluate this CRT? I know the verse is unpopular and for good reason, but the Wiki is hosting this badly outdated verse page right now and I'm trying to help out the Wiki.

    Hello, if you have some free time I would love to hear your thoughts on this. It's a QnA thread with some questions regarding downscaling I have.


    PS - Asking the Calc member part of you, not the staff member part...
    This thread has been open for more than a month. A while ago I narrowed down the OP's proposals to include just one ability for easier staff evaluation, but still no one seems interested. I know you're not really interested in this sort of thing, but if you really have some free time, why not look it?

    That was Oppressor, his unique skill, and it was a pretty straightforward one. From psychological oppression to physically crushing matter, it affected everything in his line of vision. There was no way to escape it—anything caught in its grasp was turned into scrap, organic or not. He didn’t even need to do that theatrical arm wave, either; just a glance could destroy most anything. The power had made Minitz undefeated in battle up to now.

    Waves of interference poured over Apito as she entered his eyesight, placing intense pressure on her. This was actually an invisible gravitational force, one Minitz could arbitrarily apply to surrounding matter to give the pull force direction. Using this force—on par with the kind a massive star exerts—he could apply pressure from any direction he pleased, manipulating the pushing and pulling forces to make any object explode or implode. The only way to oppose it was to have a body strong enough not to be affected or to release some kind of directional force that could cancel out the forces acting upon you. Minitz had never run into anyone who could do that—and therefore, he was invincible.
    Can I get your opinion on "release some kind of directional force that could cancel out the forces acting upon you" is calculatiable or not?
    Sorry for the inconvenience
    I already corrected my blog and this time I used Cat's height and you will wonder Why do you use 39 px if the image measures 70 px? Well it's because of 2 things: Distance and depth The distance because Gato seems to be close to the glass but in reality it is not because Gato is in the center and if he looks close it is because of the camera therefore Gato is far from the white glass and in depth because the White crystal is higher than Cat and doing that pixel scaling is not reliable.
