Anyway, making labels is hard. I think doing an image with mouseover info would be better, but I have no idea how to do it.

Oh man, I remember the sockpuppet thing. It's not quite as bad as the regular invasions that used to happen in the Negima! thread, but it was pretty epic.

[up][up]That would require more than just outputting an image, probably a lot of Javascript. You may be able to find a program out there that can take a spreadsheet and output a fancy graph (heck, doesn't Microsoft Office do that? I have a Mac, so I don't know).

@Fallen & Applelight;

Its possible I miscounted, which I assure you is completely possible with me, or what I count as an episode for someone is different from someone else. I didn't count "Over a Barrel" as an Applejack episode so I put it with Mane Six in general. "Fall Weather Friends" counted as both Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

But yeah... Dragonshy, Stare Master, Green Isn't Your Color, A Bird in the Hoof, and Putting your Hoof Down... wait, that's 5! I did miscount!

...She still needs more episodes.

Since you're using Python (I think) wouldn't simply labeling the axis not be too hard? I think we just need a sense of what x and y are, their units, and what the colors mean.

@Sydxelia: Kind of wondering how you do that with a hoof and then I realize I'm thinking far too much.

^^ I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm not using a graph library or anything, I made the image directly using PIL. Anyway, I already said what the axises mean (x = time of week, y = which week). As far as the colors, it's just a heat map palette so you can tell apart the values more easily. If you want to know the exact value at any particular point, I think mouseover is the only way to do it.

Jteeth: Yeah, I was curious as to how the sockpuppet night compared to the invasions in the Negima thread. Which seem to have died off, fortunately.

It was roughly the same or maybe a bit worse than the worst Negima invasion, only it lasted about a day and hasn't been repeated, so people remember it more.

Sockpuppet invasions? I thought that's what we have a role play board for :V

@storyyeller: I just mean that having the axis labeled in graph would be nice, as well as legends for, say, red = 50-100, blue = 25-50 or something. Unless that's impossible. I'm more familiar with matplotlib though so disregard this if it's harder to do in PIL.

Actually, it only lasted a couple hours, and it was repeated. Based on the graph, it looks like the second one didn't have quite the same posting rate though.

^ PIL is an image library. It doesn't have any graphing functionality.

You watched the new episode Arha? Or you still catching up?

Also, Jteeth, in the middle of the first review and I can say you analyze things a lot differently than I do. Like I noticed that Pinkie Pie was oddly indifferent and jerkish and pretty much said "Eh, a negative depiction of hedonism" and shrugged it off. The way you pick it apart more than that is interesting to me, and then you analyzed things like setting tones and moods that I normally disregard.

Yeah, I've seen the new episode. I don't really have much to say about it.

Anyway, I think it's pretty funny that they kept in the bit where Indiana carefully examines the idol from different angels, but completely took out the reason why.

P.S. Is there an official spelling for Ditzy Doo? Because if not, she could be related. How do we know it's not Ditzy Do?

It's a good thing. Like I said, it's interesting. You have a viewpoint of the series that I do not, thus reading these reviews may give me a better picture than just watching it over and over again would.

I know, I know. It's because it's funny and all. but Danger Do seemed like a pretty intelligent mare for the most part. I wonder why she just up and took the idol like that without bothering to check for traps? [lol]

[up][up][up]Awesome. Always nice to know that I can help somebody enjoy the show more. waii

[up]Because unlike Indiana Jones, she didn't have a bag of dirt to replace the statue with anyway. She started sizing it up, realized that it wouldn't help her anyway, so she just grabbed it.

She did check, but then she got bored when she didn't see any and decided that if there were any, she'd have to spend an inordinate amount of time finding and disarming them.

And who adds that many traps to a temple anyway?

The traps don't even have synergy, so they don't sync in ways that would really take intruders by surprise. At least use the arrow traps to lure intruders into pits, whereupon a weight is dropped on them.
