  • 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.
    Please check this Speed CRT when you can, the verse really ought to have it revised 🙏

    I want to watch the show again at some point, so I'm probably not your man. Don't want spoilers.

    I have still only watched S1. I'm very behind.
    Hey. I kinda confused about gameplay feats from any game. Can be gameplay consider as cannon? Exmaple, Ellie can surive 1 explosive which can destroy 6 arcade machines. Also Ellie cannonically can survive an attack from Bloater who also can tank explosive as well. Ellie and Dina survived this explosion. Tlou characters are capable of crushing skulls, breaking walls and wooden barrels. So I'm just curious, can gameplay feats be used if characters cannonicaly demonstrated similar feats in terms of power? ALso on Arthur's profile he scales to 120kj because he can kill legendary bison with few hits althougt it's a freeroam.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    it's "canon", "cannon" is the thing on a pirate ship

    The way you phrase it is weird. Red Dead Redemption 2, for example: obviously the game is canon. That is the base property of the franchise (perhaps the only one; I have no idea if there are books or whatever for Red Dead). But what is technically possible mechanically will not always align with the narrative of the game (for example, I seem to recall Arthur being able to survive unrealistically close to dynamite, which is just a facet of it being a game trying to simulate reality imperfectly). This is where a bit of critical thought must be employed to parse out what seems most plausible and consistent. For example: Ellie survives her arrow, but it's aimed at her feet. Unless an enemy was shooting her with them, and she survived, I'd call this questionable. She's being knocked back but not killed, even though the same explosive arrow rips the bodies of others apart when used on its intended targets. The bloater can survive, but the bloater is also unambiguously a lot stronger than Ellie, being able to instant kill her on hit. I'd call the bomb arrow really questionable, when taking all of this into consideration.

    The Ellie and Dina one is less contextually off, though it's done through the body of the horse. I have no idea how you would get an accurate value from that.

    Crushing skulls seems unambiguously fine since that is obviously intended to work exactly like that. That is not a wall. The floor destruction seems fine, but also worth mentioning that it looks already eroded. Like if you look at it, she's being slammed into a patch that has been applied to the floor already, and it, itself, seems waterlogged and weakened.

    Scaling to an enemy that can be killed like that is totally fine.

    Yeah that's the thing I asked your opinion on this. Should Ellie still scale to this explosive anyway? Definetly not as Bloater since bloater can tank about 10+ explosives and Ellie can only 1 (All explosive genereate the same amount of energy, explosive arrows just an example because Bloater is too fast and kills me before I even craft a bomb). Also here, here, here and here Ellie and Abby are standing on bombs and survive(If you need I can send clip later both Ellie and Abby can survive pipe bombs from enemies). On this blog Jason calculated Bloaters durability to 43mj (epicenter of explosion) and 1.1mj for pipe bomb which can destroy arcade machines from several meters. Can Ellie be at least 1.1mj by this if she can harm Abby physically who suvived this at this lvl.
    Hey why do you dislike people asking author questions
    BoastJr
    BoastJr
    Because the Authors are not scalers and do not Know if their character can destroy planets or not.... let alone concepts...

    Ian Flynn thinks Sonic is only planet level for example...

    Authors would not know powerscaling jargons and explaining it to them will confuse them more....

    Its just messy
    Thermor

    I think this is because of Alex getting banned for asking the author stuff despite he never uses them for crts.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    And it, indeed, became messy.

    I do not want to be reminded of this discussion on my wall. Please leave this one be.
    Mind check out this Hellaverse CRT whenever you have the chance?
    thanks for your time
    Since you're also a Joke battles staff as well:
    Hello Bambu. Since you were the one who changed my forum username before, can i request again to you to add hyphen in my forum username? It would be like this:
    “M-Sahla”
    This would be my last request regarding my username.

    I wonder if that's possible for me.🙏
    Hello, I saw that you participated in Instant Death threads before, since this CRT is discussing something that was once evaluated by you(comment). Is it possible to get your opinion on the matter, if your schedule permits.
    Current Thread:
    Thx a lot
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I really wouldn't count on it.

    it's more so if your schedule permits you to, I know you are busy with wiki management so it's fine. Just take a look if possible thx

    Hello Bambu, can I ask for an input here?, or maybe tagging some staff, I just need 1 more vote. Thank you 🙏
    Boo! its me again.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    Your CRT seemed to imply you wanted to remove the star veil invuln?
    Skarfz
    Skarfz
    yea i guess its just that im confused whether it does count for invuln or just game mechanics
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    It's just game mechanics.
    Hello, Bambu! I know you already visited one of current Madness series related threads, so It will be really nice to hear your opinion on another thread, especially since it pertains to the previous one

    Hello Bambu. So i just changed my fandom username to "MSahla", and i've actually asked @Antvasima in his wall (outside the forum) to change my forum username as well, but it's been over a day and he didn't reply yet.

    So, can you do that for me?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I will endeavor to do so when I have the opportunity.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    It's been done.

    heya

    i have thoughts that go quite far, about a Horus vs Emperor rematch, and i saw you in the w40k page, may i send some research results to you?
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I'm scared of what "research results" entails but, sure. Do know that I am knowledgeable about Warhammer but only small slices of it.
    I know this might not be up your alley, but I just wanted to ask if you could take a look at these Indie Cross calcs sometime.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I was gonna ask "how is this not something that belongs on FC/OC" and then I see... it is. I'm so unused to getting requests for FC/OC.

    I am exceptionally busy and I have a shitload of required work I need to get through for the site. Getting to FC/OC, then, for optional stuff that isn't really necessary, is unlikely. This isn't a "no", just a "probably not".

    I imagined, it’s not very populated.

    Ah, I see. Well I do thank you for getting back to me, much appreciated.

    Plus it’s nice to see another Dead Cells fan.
    i think im supposed to go here to asked about crts, not many people care about this verse but its weekly updates require alot of content to be added, and there are several issues with the players profile that makes him inelligibke for vurses threads so input would be appreciated

    Hi. I saw you in the Furi discussions. Perhaps you'd like to join the discussion about this fight?

    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    genuinely a very cool fight, I have no idea if it is balanced, I am about to head out so don't hold your breath on my entrance
    Hello, this speed downgrade thread has been going on for four months. Another CGM originally commented but never fully made a vote, and another CGM agreed to the removal of calcs 1, 2, and 5. If it can be looked at so it can be finalized, it would be appreciated.
    Can you give your thoughts?

    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    I'm in a few too many threads at present, and Sonic is never a very tempting one to get into the ring for. Probably gonna pass on this one for now.
    Hi! We need staff evaluations on this CRT, it has been inactive for a few days and its crucial to a popular verse in the wiki (Undertale)

    Here is a link to a post featuring a summary of all the arguments made in the thread, so you won't have to read through all pages:
    Can you offer your thoughts on whether it's notable enough?

    Twilight doesn't think it's notable enough to be added and I put my reasons on why the average viewership isnt a great indicator since it inherently spreads out multiple people viewing a single chapter across all chapters.
    Hi Bambu, sorry to bother you. I just wanted to remind you to give me your opinion on this regarding TABS. If you don’t have time, I’ll try asking another CGM.
    need your opinion here
    Skarfz

    fixed the thread 😔

    Sorry to bother again, but could you call more mods on this thread?
    greetings,

    got the time to look at a CRT?

    Nonynho
    even if you're not available, the interest is already something i'm thankful for
    Nonynho
    Nonynho
    ah, yes, something i feel it is important and i forgot to mention, sorry for that and for bumping here by extention too

    I'd like you to take a look because me and @Redite250 are getting layers based on your old dnd blog on the matter
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    That doesn't make me responsible...

    ...but I do prefer tabletops to other verses.

    What blog? I genuinely don't remember, I so rarely work on my own projects these days.
    I would appreciate your input on this given your knowledge
    This staff thread needs your input, when you get some free time could you take a loo?.
    Mr. Bambu
    Mr. Bambu
    To be honest, "need" sounds pretty strong? It's a minor formatting issue, something I don't really have an opinion on. Content mods seem perfect to discuss that, and that's mostly who is there.
    Hi,
    I wondered if you had any insight on this calc so I am able to finish it. It involves an object where the center of mass is just offscreen vertically.
    Thank you in advance.
    Hello! I'm back to annoy you again.

    Can you please evaluate this calc I made? I'm honestly not sure if I made it right, since the feat is a bit wonky (A guy tanking a light beam, cross section shenanigans)

    I'm just lucky, what can I say. Also, thanks for the evaluation! I was frankly unsure if what I did was correct, but I'm glad it was.
