RE: Worldlines and Attractor Fields
Hello M.A.D.company,

Welcome to the wiki! I saw your comment over on the Attractor Field page and was hoping to get a chance to reply sometime this weekend, so thank you for leaving me a message on my Talk page. :) You can expect an answer from me this Saturday or Sunday. Until then! Zeldakasumi (talk) 11:14, May 15, 2015 (UTC)

Edit:

Hello M.A.D.company,

I've only had time to glance at it so far, but you've done a really good job, and it is an honor to be asked to help with it. We do not call that a "chronogram" in English but a "chronology", and what you have made is specifically called a "world line flow chart", I think. I have actually been working on making one myself, which includes all the known world lines. However, it is nowhere near done, and will probably take me another year to finish it.

By all means, if you would like to post your chronology on the wiki, it would be welcome -Any help is welcome!-. You first commented on the Attractor Field page about this, but I think it could probably go best on the Timeline page someone started yesterday. I think it make sense to keep the various chronologies on the timeline page, where world line flow charts, chronology tables, etc. can go, don't you?

Unfortunately, since just recently, my life in the real world has gotten very busy and will continue to be so for quite awhile. I am hoping to still be able to comment every once in awhile -though hopefully not as lengthy as the blog post I ended up making today- and update the Pandora of Eternal Return page's plot summary when new chapters of the manga are published, but I probably will not have time to work on my other projects on this wiki until sometime in July. I would be willing to help checking your chronology first at that time. Do you mind waiting until then?

Oh, and thanks for your interesting comment on my old blog post about Mr. Braun. I hope to be able to respond to it sometime soon. Zeldakasumi (talk) 22:47, May 16, 2015 (UTC)

Edit:

Hey M.A.D.company, Glad you asked. :) I am working on it, and you can expect the first batch of corrections probably on July 16th. Til then, Zeldakasumi (talk) 12:00, July 8, 2015 (UTC)

EDIT:

Hello M.A.D.company,

Here is the first batch of corrections. I've put them in a Google Spreadsheet and will continue to update it in the coming weeks. I'll probably be finished sometime in the first week of August. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_HELDsHBp1-1jpmWzmiCI8y3bNN1KNag3b50r3-IDkM/edit?usp=sharing

I hope this is helpful. Just leave a comment in the spreadsheet if you have a question, etc. :) Zeldakasumi (talk) 18:27, July 16, 2015 (UTC)

EDIT:

Hello M.A.D.company, I wanted to do a little more work on the corrections spreadsheet, but I noticed that an anonymous user left two more comments yesterday on it:

-Faris's father dies; John Titor posts in an American forum "I assume that there's no John titor in this world line, you think the contrary?"

and

-2.615074% "All the divergence numbers are wrong?"

So that I know who I am replying to and since you also commented as an "anonymous" earlier, are these comments also from you or has someone else also joined the spreadsheet? If those latest comments are from someone else, could you please sign any of your future comments with "M.A.D." or something so I know which ones are from you? I would, of course, reply to you differently than I would to someone else. Thanks in advance! Zeldakasumi (talk) 12:51, July 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * They are all from me don't worry you can answer normally
 * I have also made the corrections i can lend you the up to date image if you want. M.A.D.company (talk) 13:30, July 21, 2015 (UTC)

Beta AF chronology
Hello M.A.D.company,

Leaving aside the question of whether or not Suzuha is John Titor in the Beta attractor field. I thought this might come in handy for you.

I had translated the chronology from one of the Japanese wikis awhile ago, and have been planning on publishing it to the our wiki once I am done working on converting it to the code used by ours. Anyway, after our discussion yesterday, I went back and checked that wiki again and noticed that they had updated their chronology quite a bit with new info, including from the various guide books that 5pb. has published and the EpigraphT, etc.

So, I retranslated the Beta world line chronology and SG world line chronology tables. Here is a copy if it would help you. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aGv951qaN8fdoucUT95lrCZ4Q05ki8vUhzkYWyoO7Mo/edit?usp=sharing

It is true that Faris dedicates the IBN5100 in 2001 in the Beta AF. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the original VN's Official Guide Book where I am living currently, but I checked a scan of it. The scan is very poor quality, but shows that in 1.130212, 1.130205, and 1.130426--1.130238(aka Mayuri ending) in

1975: 1. Suzuha arrives in time machine 2. Obtains IBN5100

1992: Lukako is born as a boy

2000: 1. Faris's father dies 2. John Titor appears on American forum

2001: Faris dedicates IBN5100 to Yanabayashi Shrine

One thing to note: This guide book was published when the VN came out for Xbox and before the movie and the Epigraph Trilogy were created.

But back to the translation I did of the Japanese wiki's chronology. I do not know why they did not include Suzuha stopping in 1998. Here is a translation of a summary someone made of Kagari's history up until 2010.

2026: Year of birth

202X: Parents die in Tokyo air raid, while she is still young

202X: Given into the care of the orphanage where Mayuri works

2032: Given the surname Shiina. Receiving brainwashing by the "Professor" at this point.

2036: Registered on family register as 10 years old, travels with Suzuha to the past.

1975: Recovers IBN.

1998: Destroys IBN. Seizes future terminal.

1998-2010: 12 years spent in contact with the "Professor" and becomes a 22-year-old (4th year university) student, same as Amane Yuki.

(Source)

And I have been reading the manga adaptation in its original Japanese and it clearly said 1998 but did not specify which world line (yet).

I will be busy for the rest of this week, but if you decide to update your chart after reading the Japanese wiki's chronology, please do send me your newest version of your chart, so I can continue proofreading. And, please do not forget to write your responses to me either on my Talk page or in the Google docs I have set up for us, so that I will receive a notification about your response! Thanks, Zeldakasumi (talk) 16:24, July 22, 2015 (UTC)

EDIT:

Sounds like a wise choice, and I will refrain from mentioning too many Epigraph Trilogy developments to you in the future, so as not to spoil your fun. Talk to you next week then. Zeldakasumi (talk) 14:17, July 23, 2015 (UTC)

The "sg-epk" email address
Hello M.A.D.company,

I am answering your comment from cell AE1 here, because it seemed like this answer would not fit in the comments of a Google spreadsheet well.

Someone is already one step ahead of you. ;) This is a very rough translation of what one of the Japanese Steins;Gate wikis seems to say about the address.

Reply from Wikia about image error
Hello M.A.D.company,

Wikia Support already responded. Here is the answer:


 * Hello Zelda,


 * Thanks for contacting us. The issue you are running into is that the image is simply too large for our thumbnailer to use - they can have a maximum of 12.5 million pixels. Your image is 10,162 × 2,986 pixels: just over 30 million pixels total.


 * Simply reducing the resolution of your image and uploading it again should allow us to use it properly. (The preview thumbnail you saw during uploading is a temporary version created by your browser, as far as I am aware).


 * I have a request in with the technical team to improve the error messaging around this kind of situation.


 * Apologies for any confusion - I hope this helps!


 * Best regards,


 * George Marbulcanti (Kirkburn)
 * Wikia Community Support

Rather than reducing the resolution like they suggest, which might make some of the more packed boxes difficult to read, what do you think about adjusting it so that it is split up into two or three images?

Another possibility is to leave it as one image, but publish it to the wiki as a pdf. Those can be larger in size, because they do not use a preview thumbnail; and then we could use a smaller version of the chart with reduced resolution as a preview image that when you click on it, it brings you to the pdf file.

What do you think? Zeldakasumi (talk) 18:02, August 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Split it into 3? I think it's a bad idea, you'll nullify the interest to made a flow chart because when someone will consult it, he'll goes forth and back all other the chart. I prefer the second solution if we have no choice.


 * I'll see also if reducing the resolution can be a solution but i don't think so to be honest. I think it's stupid to autorise to upload big images and don't make a preview of this...M.A.D.company (talk) 18:13, August 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Edit:Then do you want to try my second suggestion, the full resolution pdf with an image link preview? I can convert it to pdf, etc. for you if you don't have the software for that. Zeldakasumi (talk) 18:38, August 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'll test the solutions tomorrow and see what is better. I don't know if you can delete the previous uploads.M.A.D.company (talk) 18:59, August 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * The previous uploads do not matter. When I upload a new version by clicking on "Upload a new version of this file" at the bottom of the file page, it will replace the one that is broken. However, if for some reason the records of the old versions need to be deleted, then our admin Herald is capable of that. Zeldakasumi (talk) 19:11, August 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * I have try an upload too :P M.A.D.company (talk) 19:14, August 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Edit: Yes, I remember, but Herald can delete any files, so no worries if there are duplicates. Either you or I can just ask him once we have this sorted out. Zeldakasumi (talk) 19:52, August 10, 2015 (UTC)

I'm not fully satisfied by the result, anyway i think we can keep both version of the chart, the one in PDF/thumbnail and the one in an image.

Edit: Finally i have try something a bit different, it's an hybrid of the 2 solutions that exclude the pdf (which isn't really good looking). I let you take a look at it. M.A.D.company (talk) 08:51, August 11, 2015 (UTC)


 * That solution works great! :D Zeldakasumi (talk) 09:05, August 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah we only have to suppress the pdf file, it's useless now.M.A.D.company (talk) 09:09, August 11, 2015 (UTC)
