03:31:06 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:33:28 Devastator:
Aigre's starting a game about orcs.
03:44:45 Devastator: It seems to be orc-heavy.
03:44:50 ER: aw, can't resist a new game
03:45:42 Devastator: Yeah, reads interesting.
03:45:51 Devastator: I really would like to be a big orc with a squad of orcs.

03:53:41 MidJag: Sorry, one of my roommates just got back, got distracted.
03:57:19 MidJag_ has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:57:51 MidJag_: and that was my roommate fucking with the fuse box.
03:58:47 MidJag has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
03:59:28 MidJag_: Nah, he's trying to figure out why half of our outlets aren't working anymore.
03:59:55 MidJag_: He just didn't tell me that's what he was doing.
04:00:34 Devastator: Well, good luck with that.
04:01:01 ER: tell your room-mate to tell jaggers before he messes with things like that
04:01:34 Devastator: Eh, if all you're doing is chatting on the net, it isn't that big a deal.
04:01:55 Devastator: "I lost a screen's programming, don't do that."
04:02:43 ER: No, specifically tell him that someone named
ER is telling him to warn jaguar before messing with the power
04:05:06 Devastator: My name might be better that way. ;-p
04:05:46 MidJag_: For sure, Luckily all I've got is a laptop at this place so it's not that big of a deal, but still definitely a major annoyance especially when your trying to use a google docs
04:06:09 MidJag_: And yes
Dev, your name is better for that :P.
04:06:59 Devastator: ahh, remote storage strikes again.
04:07:48 MidJag_: Yeah, typically I don't use since words just easier, but eh it's handy for group stuff.
04:08:11 Devastator: tis a tool, after all.
04:10:32 Devastator: Dragons, especially very young dragons, live a two-mode existance.
04:10:42 Devastator: These two modes are best summed up as asleep and eating.
04:11:46 Devastator: too young for that.
04:12:30 ER: yeah but it says "especially very young", not "young dragons in specific"
04:13:02 Devastator: I'm assuming they eat and sleep less eventually.
04:13:56 ER: eventually the very very old dragons find solutions to remove the other two needs entirely, and devote all their time to being horny
04:14:41 Devastator: I might go the opposite route to you,
ER, and just equip meself.
04:14:59 Devastator: Or get like one or two other orcs instead of an 'ole mob.
04:15:51 ER: I figure if I don't armor them, before long I'll have a small but hardy band of fighters
04:16:02 Aigre: you can keep the rest as camp followers...
04:16:20 Devastator: That's a fair point.
04:16:25 Aigre: or if you don't wana feed them I guess you can keep them at home in mordor, but weird things happen when orcs go without their leader
04:16:29 ER: aka things to toss into the pit as soon as possible
04:16:31 Devastator: I'll think about it.
04:16:36 Devastator: they pick a new leader?
04:16:42 Devastator: and go off on their own?
04:16:56 Aigre: they could get poached by some upstart warlord
04:17:27 Aigre: they're weak willed individually and thrive in tribes
04:17:54 Devastator: yeah, someone will nip them or they'll pick a new leader.
04:18:11 Devastator: unless you have another boy you like to keep an eye on them while you're off zogging about.
04:18:45 Aigre: some overwhelming charismatic personality could break his loyalty when you're gone
04:19:07 Aigre: omg, we leave you folks alone for a week and you've already found new lovers!
04:19:23 ER: you can tell which ones are loyal by seeing which ones both survive takin' an arrow to the chest and don't leave afterwards.
04:19:47 Devastator: Yeah. Just don't go zogging about unless you got someone to take an eye on them.
04:19:55 Devastator: Or just go zogging about and pick up some new boys when you come back.
04:20:33 ER: I mean, no shortage of fresh ork boyz in mordor
04:21:22 Devastator: don't expect your choppas back.
04:25:50 Devastator: But yeah, I'll think about signing up in a few days. I am busy, but that looks like a really fun game.
04:26:50 MidJag_: I have no idea. Some surrealist bit of something from adult swim.
04:33:50 Devastator: "Okay." the dragon said, solemly nodding. "I won't flame stuff indoors unless it's really, really important."
04:33:53 Devastator: I'm going to enjoy this.
04:34:30 Devastator: I'm not sure yet, which is part of the humor.
04:40:42 Devastator: Oh.. I just got it now. A Shadowrun dragon.
04:45:10 Aigre: processed your requisition
ER
05:15:09 Devastator: Not sure, he's mostly on perhaps ten hours from now, and not that often.
05:15:47 MidJag_: Down the yellow brick road I would assume
05:26:01 MidJag_ purrs and only lightly mauls ER.
05:26:43 ER: so when are you gonna make a new game I've got an appitite for flesh-shaping~
05:29:47 MidJag_: Well, not super sure. First I've got to obsevislly reaserch nam and the 60's since I'm admitelly pretty weak on their tactics, after that I've got to figure out when I'm gonna have enough time. So expect at least a month or more. Though probably I'm gonna have like three weeks of nothing to do in about four weeks so I'll probably figure it out then.
05:30:17 MidJag_: Speaking of,
Dev you got any book recommendations for 'nam?
05:35:09 MidJag_: Indeed also know as Americas massive jungle clusterfuck among academic circles.
05:35:42 Devastator: Yeah.. I haven't read much about the conflict there.
05:35:55 MidJag_: Eh, figured it was worth a shot.
05:36:20 ER: because the reality is probably too depressing :P
05:36:21 Devastator: Last good war books I've read was one called "Bloodlands" about europe between Berlin and Moscow before, during, and after WWII, and one called "Shattered Sword" about the battle of Midway.
05:36:48 MidJag_: Both of those sound quite intresting. I might end up picking those up.
05:37:53 MidJag_: And
ER, the only good memes out of vietnam are well...like 70% of the popular rock songs from out the 60s are pretty damn good.
05:38:12 MidJag_: But it's hard to make a game based entierlly around musical excellence
05:41:44 MidJag_: Honestlly a game where you are all bards and you have to select a playlist that somehow creates your spells that you procede to use in a song battle against your oppenent could be really neat
05:45:27 MidJag_: Though it would be hard to GM fairlly.
05:45:49 MidJag_: and would likelly very much select for certain kinds of music.
05:48:32 ER: *just throws RULES OF NATURE at everything*
05:49:21 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:49:33 MidJag: And that was my other roommate fucking with the fuse box
05:49:54 Devastator: I'd expect the first one to label it.
05:50:05 MidJag_ has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
05:50:27 MidJag: Nah, that would take too much effort and actually make sense. :P
05:51:25 MidJag: This one actually got the outlets to work though, so props to him.
05:51:39 Devastator: and did that guy label it?
05:52:46 MidJag: nope, so we get to go through the whole charade once again when it shorts after the next storm. :P
05:54:53 Devastator: I remember getting a strange look at the guy supervising the research project I was assisting on, when I insisted on spending a day documenting all my stuff before I was leaving, as to what it does and what I'd done.
05:55:00 MidJag: They're both engineers, so you'd think they'd be more inclined to label things.~
05:55:06 Devastator: I hate documenting stuff, but it's required, dammit.
05:56:15 ER: "I did some stuff, and made everything better. if something broke, blame it on Steve"
05:57:15 Devastator: Yeah. In this case I was getting micro SD cards for use with various sensors, done in such a way so they could be reverted if someone screws something up. Documentation was absolutely required to keep someone from having to start over.
06:00:40 MidJag: ah, damn, yeah that sucks.I mean In my lab like half of my day is just labelling things so that the next day you aren't just staring at two seeminglly idenetical fly vials going now which one is perfectlly selected to get just the right combination to highlight the effect we want and which one is the random collection of flies we used to pracitce the techiqne were using on.
06:01:56 Devastator: Yeah, not that but in this case with an array of 12 images for micro-sd cards.
06:02:44 Devastator: Similar kind of stuff, you'd lose a lot of work without labelling stuff and writing things down.
06:03:21 Devastator: On the plus side, I found out that after I'd left, I forgot to leave my personal notes behind. That didn't cause a problem, though, the documentation was good enough.
06:04:45 Aigre: standard rifleman tactics?
06:04:53 Devastator: Well, it wasn't rocket science, but still helpful.
06:05:14 Devastator: someone coulda figured it out, but it would probably have taken a day or two.
06:17:47 Devastator: Yeah, I'm glad with how it worked out.
06:50:56 MidJag has left #einsteinianroulette

11:43:41 Aigre: looking at it now
devastator
12:11:54 Aigre: do you want to start making crude weapons
Devastator
12:12:00 Aigre: you rolled double sixes for that
12:12:06 Devastator: Yeah, that was the plan.
12:12:33 Aigre: spears come in heavy duty melee ala stop a mammoth as well as in javelin variety
12:14:19 Aigre: so how many ranged weapons
Devastator
12:14:25 Devastator: I'd rather not stick with the full formation ones, so lets say half and half.
12:14:35 Devastator: half as inf, half as javelins.
12:14:47 Aigre: half half the inf as clubs?
12:15:09 Devastator: eh, sure. Just half inf, half ranged.
12:16:32 Aigre: hang on, your troopers can carry both
12:16:45 Aigre: like chuck the javelins and run in with a melee weapon
12:17:11 Devastator: If I've got enough for both, I'll say they all get both, then. Javelins and another one for melee.
12:21:14 Aigre: yep javs for ranged, spears for formations, clubs for brawls
12:30:04 Devastator: well, fuck those req rolls.
12:32:24 Devastator: So.. I've got 200 silver, then?
12:32:27 Aigre: well you got double six on the weapons
12:33:24 Devastator: I might as well buy something with it.
12:37:50 Devastator: Okay, done orders, catch you later.
13:19:39 PyroDesu has joined #einsteinianroulette

Aigre started a new game. Looks interesting.
13:34:16 PyroDesu: Ooh. Military strategy RTD?
13:34:29 PyroDesu: This might be interesting, yes...
14:46:05 Devastator: should I put on a stream while I'm waiting for my laundry to finish?
15:22:49 Aigre: I guess you can post
devastator
15:23:16 Aigre: to finish the day and all
15:39:08 Aigre: wana add any details to the plan of attack
Devastator?
15:39:15 Aigre: or do you want the orcs to just charge them
15:39:56 Devastator: I thought it was a friendly caravan.
15:41:08 Aigre: gondorians will slaughter orcs on sight
15:41:46 Devastator: Well, yeah, I thought it was an orc caravan.
15:42:46 Devastator: going from Cirith Ungol to Barad-Dur...
15:44:21 Aigre: both are occupied territories ;_;
15:46:01 Aigre: I posted the initial rolls
15:46:32 Devastator: Nah, this is pretty much your straightforward ambush. I don't have any fast troops for fancy maneuver, and I've got enough guys to give a good fight. Pretty simple engagement, overall.
16:24:21 Aigre: you can try capturing that knight for ransom
Devastator
17:16:11 Devastator: no successes for the second consecutive turn.
17:25:14 Aigre: well the other guy rolled triple 1s
17:42:05 Aigre: so Mordor is like Afgoonistan
17:42:28 Aigre: you have coalition forces in all the places worth living while the natives are in the hills
Devastator
17:42:41 Devastator: ahh, so it's post-Last Alliance, then.
17:43:45 Devastator: well, this didn't go ideally, but any battle where more men die than orcs is a good trade, strategically speaking.
17:44:05 Aigre: you can always make more babies at night
17:48:11 Devastator: but there are empty places to fill, as well.
17:48:25 Devastator: Although if they were driving orc slaves those might be replacements.
17:54:02 Aigre: i don't think they trust orcs even as slaves
17:54:17 Aigre: as how occupied mordor would be
17:54:56 Aigre: so they can genocide you while still being as honorable as ever
17:59:41 Devastator: Then probably no point in keeping a gondorian prisoner, I doubtv they'd pay an orc for his return.
18:00:22 Devastator: With Sauron defeated there will be none to turn this man.
18:01:15 Aigre: you can still get creative with him. A knight is also a symbol
18:04:16 Devastator: Can get creative after death.
18:04:41 Aigre: ah but what if you dragged him all the way to a siege and put him on display for the defenders...
18:07:30 Devastator: eh, too complicated.
19:15:38 Aigre:
devastator finish off the knight
