14-12-2021 00:23:52 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: I got work ER!
14-12-2021 00:24:02 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: Patients ain't gonna irradiate themselves
14-12-2021 04:03:40 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: heya Piecewise.
14-12-2021 04:03:45 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: Yeah, you gotta zap them.
14-12-2021 04:03:51 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: anyway, I think I have a proper character concept for Mook.
14-12-2021 04:04:18 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: get a batch of small furry robots as pets.  Like a robot squirrel squadron.  Have like tiny knives or whatever built into them.
14-12-2021 04:04:33 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: get them to attack a smell or a colour or something, and shoot people with a small paintball gun.
14-12-2021 04:04:57 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: keep a little pocket override that can be used to stop them, so I get a save in case of critfail.
14-12-2021 04:05:23 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: and get someone to program a control set into a VR helmet so I can use one as a scout or something.
14-12-2021 04:05:52 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: most of it would take programming work, but could maybe talk researchers, and it might be cost-effective that way.  A killer squirrel program could be cheap when done for like fifteen squirrels.
14-12-2021 04:25:35 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: That is...a plan
14-12-2021 04:25:46 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: I don't know how well it will compare to a gun
14-12-2021 04:25:51 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: but it is a method
14-12-2021 04:26:09 -!- syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg has joined #einsteinianroulette
14-12-2021 04:26:56 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: Hey, Piecewise.  Call of Earth when?
14-12-2021 04:29:16 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: It'll be inferior to gun, but everyone has gun.
14-12-2021 04:29:20 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: need something to differentiate myself.
14-12-2021 04:30:27 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: truth is, it's mostly so I can have a method where I pawn off the difficult rolls, like programming them, to ones doable before the mission.
14-12-2021 04:30:37 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: so I can have stuff that works without maxing that stat.
14-12-2021 04:33:03 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: Hey sy. Last Mook mission was me testing out ideas for open world
14-12-2021 04:33:17 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: still working on it, though school kind of slowed me down a fair bit
14-12-2021 04:33:36 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: I mean, if I get gun, it'll be three missions before getting a d12, and then I'd need armour to stand in the line.
14-12-2021 04:33:54 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: just way too much to catch up on.  With weird stuff I can make some use of it early on, and then it'll be different later on.
14-12-2021 04:34:39 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: I mean, I'd get to stand next to your char, or RC, and do what they do but far worse.
14-12-2021 04:35:53 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: Yeah, I recall you saying Detroit was a test for CoE.  Which is why I'm asking; I've been looking forward to CoE for -awhile-
14-12-2021 04:35:57 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: besides, if I build it right I might get to have like 10 or 12 guaranteed damage, which could be pretty reliable.
14-12-2021 04:36:02 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: Will it be before Elden Ring?  :<
14-12-2021 04:37:23 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: Probably not. I'm a bit flummoxed with the system and don't want to spend hundreds of hours making a setting only for the player count to drop to 2 
14-12-2021 04:38:09 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: I have enough setting to go for a while though I just need to figure out how the hell to make it not a chore to explore
14-12-2021 04:39:22 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: MIA was all about forward movement  in terms of the actual story, though the entire setup is people going in and out
14-12-2021 04:39:38 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: I don't think players will like going in and out over and over
14-12-2021 04:40:11 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: even with the environment system designed to produce different encounters

14-12-2021 04:54:56 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: Well, had to kick oz from discord today
14-12-2021 04:55:33 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: first person I unironically kicked. Kicked people a couple times as a joke but he was going real GWG
14-12-2021 04:58:57 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: Yeah, Oz is... not a great individual.
14-12-2021 04:59:21 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: I forget whether or not I banned him here.  Might've not, just because it's so easy to get around IRC bans.
14-12-2021 05:00:06 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: If you want help with the system, that *is* my specialty.  :3
14-12-2021 05:00:30 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: Could do some small scale private tests, see how it rolls out, and then adjust.
14-12-2021 05:04:58 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: I suppose the issue isn't the mechanics so much as...what to do 
14-12-2021 05:05:47 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: How to give direction, how to make expeditions not seem like a chore when it comes to heading back or whatever
14-12-2021 05:06:12 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: Because realistically you don't want to just wave your hands and say everyone got back
14-12-2021 05:06:34 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: I tried to get around that with some Dark Souls style short cuts, but its still not perfect
14-12-2021 05:06:42 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: Hmmm.
14-12-2021 05:07:10 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: Do you have a good progression system?  A way for players to feel rewarded, ideally without becoming OP?
14-12-2021 05:10:03 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: A few things really. Mapping, cataloging/ capturing flora and fauna,  artifact gathering, etc
14-12-2021 05:10:58 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: Surgical implants, mutations, and such as physical progression 
14-12-2021 05:11:31 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: Artifacts seem good.  A lot of potential for tools that aren't passive.
14-12-2021 05:11:58 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: Are you using a mutations system anything like those in WIZARDS/Infinite Kowloon?
14-12-2021 05:12:09 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: I still really love those
14-12-2021 05:12:33 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: Yeah, more or less
14-12-2021 05:14:23 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: Maybe for traveling, you could have a system that tracks "security" of paths?  With actions taking place on those paths improving their security.  Make it so you plot a route back, and a roll happens at every segment of the path, with higher security reducing the chance of an encounter?
14-12-2021 05:14:46 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: That would naturally mean areas which are seen more often become less likely to have stuff happen, so will get skipped more often.
14-12-2021 05:15:36 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: Hm, could have the issue of players just pounding out a safe path, too... though I'm unsure how bad that would be, necessarily.
14-12-2021 05:16:52 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: Some kinda random events that draw attention to certain areas, with promises of rewards, would help a lot with that.  Especially if it's interesting to plot a route through known areas, to a new point of interest.
14-12-2021 05:17:13 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: I'm guessing you already came up with something like that, judging by the weapon drops in Detroit
14-12-2021 05:19:27 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: The paths idea is a good one I think, though more likely than not it would be more of a 'We learned the dangers and how to avoid them" than "We made it safe"
14-12-2021 05:19:39 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: You don't really make it  safe in there without some serious work
14-12-2021 05:20:04 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: But maybe visiting areas and exploring them would make movement through them in the future safer
14-12-2021 05:25:31 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: It's also make for a nice general goal.
14-12-2021 05:25:41 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: "Find/make a path down"
14-12-2021 05:26:20 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: If you set it up so there's better and worse paths, that could even work well as a generic goal.  "Find a better path farther down"
14-12-2021 05:27:02 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: Is it a vertical cylinder, or more linear?  More open?
14-12-2021 05:29:00 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: ...Repeated myself above.  I meant a good goal for a mission--if a player needs direction, they can just get a mission to explore virtually any difficulty level location wirh the excuse of "find a better path through/see if it's better than the path we have"
14-12-2021 05:31:24 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: I have the idea of a sort of quest board giving goals as well
14-12-2021 05:31:48 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: Since the players are explorers, there would be people who want specific things to be done
14-12-2021 05:33:01 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: I think that alone would improve things a lot over Cabal.  Dunno what to do?  Look at tasks, do quest, get reward.
14-12-2021 05:33:31 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: If the quests are tied to the gameworld, it'll give a good sense of progression beyond even personal character growth.
14-12-2021 05:33:34 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: As per map shape, it is a pit, but with layers 
14-12-2021 05:33:40 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: some larger, some smaller
14-12-2021 05:34:07 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: That just needs... like, a good crunch system for encounters, I guess?  And there, I have *no idea* what you're doing, or what would be good.
14-12-2021 05:34:39 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: I should probably do a small scale test
14-12-2021 05:36:55 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: My school ends this week and I'll be spending the holidays at my sister's house. Maybe I can try and get something together by the new year. 
14-12-2021 05:37:07 < Piecewise!Mibbit@957-810-052-976.res.spectrum.com: At least a system and small area to test
14-12-2021 05:37:15 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.qyq.jg: :3

14-12-2021 10:09:08 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Carina...
14-12-2021 10:09:25 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: Yes, that would be her.
14-12-2021 10:09:44 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: stab, steal boots
14-12-2021 10:11:53 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: "Hi, I have waaay too many HP and I hit like two trucks."
14-12-2021 10:12:27 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: gimme ur boots
14-12-2021 10:13:55 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: not the cloak she's named after?
14-12-2021 10:14:02 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: the boots?
14-12-2021 10:14:19 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: double slash, one for each leg
14-12-2021 10:14:20 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: I mean, hell, they have an artifact each.
14-12-2021 10:14:27 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Yeah, need to take her cloak and give it to Sessha.
14-12-2021 10:14:38 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: What DOES her cloak do, though?
14-12-2021 10:14:42 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: Oh, my sweet summer child..
14-12-2021 10:14:57 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: her mutlihit attack is a proper hit group.
14-12-2021 10:15:19 < * syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop blinks
14-12-2021 10:15:20 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: So?
14-12-2021 10:15:43 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: Ok.
14-12-2021 10:15:51 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Willis has a hitgroup that's not even tiring.  It's meh.
14-12-2021 10:16:33 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: Yeah, it's been too long since you've faced her.
14-12-2021 10:17:15 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Note, I wasn't even actively participating at the time.
14-12-2021 10:17:54 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: well, her hitgroup hits about as hard as the three light lancers do, if each one of them hit every target.
14-12-2021 10:18:21 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: Carina is the team's DPS.
14-12-2021 10:18:25 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Yeah?  So?
14-12-2021 10:18:37 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Is that hitgroup skill sourced from her cloak...?
14-12-2021 10:18:45 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: ...
14-12-2021 10:18:52 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: Man, this is impressive.
14-12-2021 10:18:57 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: nah, never mind.
14-12-2021 10:19:07 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: the cloak is basically just three magic items together.
14-12-2021 10:19:35 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: She's strong and hits hard, it's what I'd expect of a maxed DPS unit.
14-12-2021 10:19:54 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: nah, I'm just going to watch this play out.
14-12-2021 10:20:35 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: I'll tell you what the cloak does if you get it.
14-12-2021 10:20:58 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: We won't get it though
14-12-2021 10:21:22 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: aight, fair enough.
14-12-2021 10:22:02 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: I recall it summoned a snake, which seems kinda underwhelming.  I guess if that's an every-battle ability it's pretty nice.
14-12-2021 10:22:27 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: I recall noticing that it mentioned a clasp, which sounded like a paired item... but that would still imply a second boon on top of snake.
14-12-2021 10:22:54 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: But there didn't seem to be anything else obviously sourced from the cloak?  Resistances that we didn't see, maybe?
14-12-2021 10:23:44 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: it's an accessory that has three effects.  One is simply a bonus accessory slot, so the cloak is basically a free item.  Second is it stores three spells in one go.  One of them can be contigency to get a multi-spell contigency, or it can be used to cast all three spells at once.  The third is indeed less visible benefits.
14-12-2021 10:25:57 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: So the cloak held her berserk effect?
14-12-2021 10:26:19 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: yeah, it was Contigency casting berzerk and the snake summon.
14-12-2021 10:27:14 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: So the clasp had a non-snek effect
14-12-2021 10:28:45 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: Do note that in her intro I did not give her her normal actions on that same turn.
14-12-2021 10:28:55 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: normally she'd take two actions at the same time as getting that effect.
14-12-2021 10:30:39 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Sessha with spell storing would be kinda meh, honestly.  She doesn't know Contingency, so it's just a triple cast... which would be her most powerful move, but once a battle?
14-12-2021 10:30:48 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Does it preserve mana over multiple days?
14-12-2021 10:31:02 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Would Willis with Carina's cloak be a MIRV?
14-12-2021 10:31:30 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: no, it doesn't save mana or preserve spells a long time, hence her choice of berzerk and summon snake on the boat.
14-12-2021 10:31:40 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: she has those spells natively.
14-12-2021 10:32:01 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Damn
14-12-2021 10:32:15 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: It'd bw awesome if Willis could triple cast absolute zero
14-12-2021 10:32:25 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: "Hi, Spar.  Do you have cold immunity?"
14-12-2021 10:32:27 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: perish
14-12-2021 10:32:32 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: "No, only resistance."
14-12-2021 10:32:39 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: "Then it doesn't matter.  Goodbye."
14-12-2021 10:32:49 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: umm, lemme do the math on that.
14-12-2021 10:33:01 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Assuming Meditation applies too.
14-12-2021 10:33:08 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: It wouldn't, actually.
14-12-2021 10:33:14 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: it'd trigger on the first spell.
14-12-2021 10:33:14 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Then that's sad
14-12-2021 10:33:21 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: but not the next two.
14-12-2021 10:33:36 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: but I should do the math on it, I'm not sure if that'd one shot her.
14-12-2021 10:33:48 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: it's a pile of damage but she's tough.
14-12-2021 10:34:11 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: If Willis were level 15, would that change?
14-12-2021 10:34:18 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: need to do the math.
14-12-2021 10:34:38 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: It would, actually.
14-12-2021 10:35:16 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: Med Absolute Zero + Absolute Zero + Absolute Zero is about 50% overkill.
14-12-2021 10:35:37 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: just chug potions mid cloakcast
14-12-2021 10:35:57 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: That said, her gear on the boat had no cold resistance.
14-12-2021 10:36:19 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: If she had one rank it'd about zero her HP, and I'd need to look at it more carefully to determine if she's down or just up.
14-12-2021 10:36:31 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: two ranks and she'd be Badly Wounded.
14-12-2021 10:37:08 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Willis is scary
14-12-2021 10:37:11 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: I would expect in the party fight Dorren will have everyone with an Elemental Shield.
14-12-2021 10:37:17 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: Willis does a ton of damage.
14-12-2021 10:37:28 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: Trence is also scary.
14-12-2021 10:37:50 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: granting a bonus rank.  He did that in his encounter, so you can probably expect that to be in the party fight.
14-12-2021 10:37:51 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Only as a dragon.
14-12-2021 10:37:58 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: "only"
14-12-2021 10:38:19 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: If Willis had a crossbow, would that disable his hitgroup?
14-12-2021 10:38:24 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: I mean, the kid wouldn't be that scary if he couldn't turn into a wide range of brokenly powerful forms.
14-12-2021 10:38:33 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: It wouldn't, actually.
14-12-2021 10:38:41 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: he'd have to reload it next round, but it would work.
14-12-2021 10:39:02 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: skills are weird.
14-12-2021 10:58:12 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: that said, it's possible I might chang emy mind and grant Willis a replacement skill.
14-12-2021 11:24:42 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Apparently in 1969 they experimented with 50 BMG flechette rounds which could go through two feet of concrete.
14-12-2021 11:24:56 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: nice
14-12-2021 11:26:17 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Interestingly, they had a muzzle velocity a bit below 1400 m/s, which is close to where projectiles tend to top out, from my memory.
14-12-2021 11:27:17 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Sadly, it was one flechette per cartridge.  They don't seem to have tried to make multiple, creating long range anti-materiel shotgun flechette cartridges.
14-12-2021 11:27:30 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Which is logical.  That's a bad idea.
14-12-2021 11:27:32 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Buuuuuut
14-12-2021 11:27:48 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: but would wolves do it? :p
14-12-2021 11:27:50 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: It's cool enough that I'm putting it in Nyafor
14-12-2021 11:28:15 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Actually, I think cats would.  It's mechanically actually a good idea... if you use it with their AMR.
14-12-2021 11:28:32 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: And really need ridiculous AP in CQC.
14-12-2021 11:28:53 < Devastator!chatzilla@rdtr-5d9eo9af5zc8srs39zleas5d4.ipv6.telus.net: best time for it.

14-12-2021 12:18:45 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: hmm, voices in english or japanese. important choice. :p
14-12-2021 12:19:23 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: English, because there's unsubtitled speech.

14-12-2021 12:35:13 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Yeah this is a game where you want to save A LOT
14-12-2021 12:35:51 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: how unfair. the enemies don't get to save
14-12-2021 12:39:11 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: yeah, showing how samurai dude is useful by having him kill three dudes at once in a cutscene
14-12-2021 12:40:42 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: you know, I can appreciate a game which gets to the point quickly
14-12-2021 12:42:20 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: The first level is really rather difficult for a tutorial level.
14-12-2021 12:42:33 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: not bad so far
14-12-2021 12:43:00 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: might have been harder if I weren't familiar with the gameplay though

14-12-2021 13:22:03 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Actually, no.  A lot of random characters are named after staff, as easter eggs.
14-12-2021 13:26:38 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: hehehehe
14-12-2021 13:26:58 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: was having trouble finding a way, but then I figured out I could snipe something to kill three guys
14-12-2021 13:27:06 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: and the game didn't tell me to do that
14-12-2021 13:27:07 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: very good
14-12-2021 13:27:26 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Yeah, it's got a bunch of subtle stuff like that

14-12-2021 13:33:09 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: beat level 1
14-12-2021 13:33:30 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: I never got hurt or discovered, by reloading every time that happened~
14-12-2021 13:47:49 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: hey Piecewise
14-12-2021 13:48:42 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: That's mostly how the game goes.
14-12-2021 13:48:50 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: yup
14-12-2021 13:49:10 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: I only ran into a situation where I felt I *had* to accept damage and discovery on the very last level of the game.
14-12-2021 13:49:12 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: also, no giving commands while paused
14-12-2021 13:49:22 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: shadow mode is just a queue
14-12-2021 13:49:32 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: v.v
14-12-2021 13:52:32 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: knife girl
14-12-2021 13:56:31 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Knife girl!
14-12-2021 13:56:51 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Knife girl is kill girl.
14-12-2021 13:57:02 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: drags slowly though
14-12-2021 13:57:05 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Pretty much the most useful char, IMO.
14-12-2021 13:57:25 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: The slow drag is actually very good.  Because she's crouched when dragging.
14-12-2021 14:10:26 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: "this is fun!"
14-12-2021 14:12:23 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Does she say that when murdering people?
14-12-2021 14:12:42 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: just when moving
14-12-2021 14:12:52 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: ...but that whole objective is murdering people
14-12-2021 14:16:39 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: ...Does it use the same voice lines for moving when dragging a corpse?
14-12-2021 14:17:18 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: All the characters struck me as a bit psychotic.
14-12-2021 14:18:46 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: well, they're all killers
14-12-2021 14:19:05 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: Even more psychotic than normal.
14-12-2021 14:19:10 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: darn, making an accident and then setting a trap on the body wasn't sneaky enough
14-12-2021 14:20:43 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: There's a level where you have to sneak through an *allied* war encampment to tell your faction's leader something or other... and you can murder every soldier and civilian in the place without any penalty whatsoever.  All of them being your allies, who just don't realize you aren't enemy ninja.
14-12-2021 14:21:48 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.iii.pop: And you can do it with that girl happily chatting about how fun this is, and the ninja guy smugly commenting on his own prowess.
14-12-2021 14:23:20 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: there, that's better

14-12-2021 14:59:39 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: but I did it anyways~
