Because I can't go to other skaters and team japan, where this should go, but somebody very salty has edited Wakaba's wiki page. There's a little rant about judging bias against Wakaba in favour of Russian skaters in there now!

Me too, but all direct links to threads work. (The first time I got the error message yesterday - that's about twelve hours ago - it said something about table collapse, but since then it's gone to the same error page everybody else posted. In case the extra detail helps.)

*whimpers* Not ready!

Notifications are still fine for me, but front page is gone again. @Sammie Me too again lol.

Everything seems to be back! Yay!!

I hope you find a way to get one, defying all odds and getting your Seimei fix.

I am astounded bythe integrity Japanese media outlets showed by not releasing that footage. A real testament to how much clickbait power Yuzu has, too, the prospect of not getting invited to his pressies and media days by not respecting his off-the-record wishes must be pretty grim!

Search kind of works, if I fiddle with the search options so I know exactly what to search for to reach a particular thread! But 50-50 on whether I get the error page or go to the thread. Still, even when the forum is slightly banjaxed, it's still accessible, that's really awesome.

I still get the error message. (On Firefox.) I can go to threads from my notifications, and then navigate the individual threads and go back to the main thread (like from COC I can go to event discussions and the other threads there) but I can't go to the main forums page or the home page. Basically stuck on the threads/sub-threads that I have in my notifications.

The YOLO 3A. Gawwdd. This boy. He's been chosen to kill us all.

The banner, so beautiful! Oh dear, NHK is so close now. *sigh*

I get the temptation to direct ire at the skaters. They're the visible ones and getting the candy. Nobody looks unhappy with the gold around their neck, and why would the?! But if the judges don't apply the rules fairly, impartially and strictly across the board, it's the judges' fault, and whatever influences are behind them. It's pretty disgraceful that there seems to be no actual review system for judging outside of the judges themselves, or at a pinch, the feds. Even football isn't that disgraceful, though the review systems are annoying and useless most of the time. Everybody needs to be accountable to somebody who at least has to appear neutral, surely? Maybe we should petition to have judges (and the tech expert/panel) do a lap of honour at the end of the competition. Then they'd be visible and more than just a J and a number. Maybe that would encourage strict and fair judging. I know, it'll never happen, but it's fun to imagine it... But good thing about Yuzu is he's good enough to overcome all of that if he skates clean. It's becoming very important that he manages to skate clean when it really matters, though. And I like Nathan mostly because I can tell his lutz and flip apart.

Having no actual experience of being on ice so I don't know how to tell by the marks (my location is true lol) and I can't figure out UR very well. Pre-rotation seems easier to see live. And my stream got stuck just before the 4lo, came back when the score for the UR jump was updated, then the stream got stuck again so I guess I watched the videos afterwards with the pre-conceived notion that it was UR. I guess I should watch it on youtube and slow it down and see if I can learn to tell the difference properly! I'm sure you had a much better view of it since you were there.

Do we have more translations yet? Or that slow motion footage they're talking about?

No, I mean the quad harem would become zombies, harem to the zombie emperor, because the prophecy of the coming of the Princess 4A could also mean impending darkness - the zombie apocalypse. An AU where they seek revenge for not getting the candy they were promised. I mean, just zombie Yuzu doesn't sound scary at all. He'd still be far too cute. Who'd run away from him? Not me. Besides, there's only one of him, unless you get converted to zombie-Yuzu specifically, not just a zombie, during the apocalypse, and that sounds too specific.

Does it? Does it really beg the question? You do realise you're doing it again? Releasing things into the universe? Well, can't take it back now. REVENGE OF THE ZOMBIE QUAD HAREM!!!

When we're deddd from worrying and the panic, and are ready to collapse?

@Hydroblade Don't you think this would make a great addition to our emojis?

You can do excel sheets, you can write and you can draw. And you skate. And make braised pork. I think we have an actual complete package here.

We should totally collab on an epic quad-harem fic. With art, but I can't draw. (With @singcarcom who will be in charge of all conflict resolution without breaking character because girl, you were trying to smooth them all out!) With timezones, workloads and stressing over our Emperor, we should be done in about five years.

Is it more difficult than dumplings with crinkly borders? We actually had origami lessons as kids. I remember making swans, we had a book for reference and we had to stick our efforts in a big square next to the demo picture. It usually looked nothing like the demo pictures. The contrast was very obvious. I'll soon find out if I've got better since then.

I'd like to say the same, dear Nobu, but I'd be lying because I laid the seed of the harem on fertile, creative soil and I'm not ashamed.

I'm definitely making swans before NHK. Swan satellites to beam support directly to the golden swans, and through them to Team Yuzu.

I'll take your traditional food. I'll have to live on a treadmill after that, I suppose, but I'll take it. Please.

lol No, but similar enough. Crazy hot, polluted and prejudiced, especially in the cities, for sure. And I feel like the only figure skating fan in the entire area sometimes. Maybe I should make a dozen swans for him, so the invasion reaches all of the globe? Outside of the cities, it's better, though. There's still prejudice, and stereotypes, but often the kind that can be dispelled when you meet people and you're open to finding out that all people are people. City-sophistication brings out the worst in people sometimes. Might be the air... What you can breathe of it, at least. But imagine the potential for asthma attacks, definitely not a good place for Yuzu. Not at all. No, back in a flight for him! It's no place for our swan. ETA: If he ever decided to see the world and I ran into him at a crowded and polluted place here, can you imagine? "I know who you are! How could you even think of risking your health like this! You silly swan, you come with me right now, I'm sending you to a nice hill station where the air is better, and then booking you a flight out! And wear this mask!! Bad swan! Bad!"
