01:46:51 ER: hmm
01:53:37 Devastator: hmm?
04:03:28 Devastator: So how's godgame going?
04:03:57 ER: Mercy reserves running low~
04:05:04 ER: Someone tried to use "create a small amount of mass" as the material componant of creating a star. Not sure what led to thinking that would work.
04:05:39 Devastator: gaugeing 'small amount?'
04:06:06 ER: stars are lots of things, but generally not "small"
04:06:13 Devastator: Yeah, it's reasonable.
04:08:57 Devastator: Well, one dead guy, but nothing odd about that.
04:09:55 ER: What do you think I should do with my thrall of the One True God?
04:10:24 Devastator: Just a sec.
04:11:30 Devastator: Give him a stipulation that he must attempt to destroy all creations not his own.
04:12:08 Devastator: and provide 3d6 essence for that.
04:16:02 Devastator: So what are you expecting from initial mission in AVA?
04:16:54 ER: Depends how deticated to murder GM really is.
04:17:19 ER: I don't have any data on that, but he certainly talks a talk of slaughter
04:18:09 Devastator: I'm thinking it'll be easy enough that I don't have to do anything, but I'll do something to speed things along.
04:19:42 Devastator: probably make a mortar and some star shells to blind the opposition for as many turns as it takes the other people to actually kill them.
04:20:59 ER: that is, most likely we run into a bunch of enemies and fuck em up while unnamed NPCs get ripped apart in the background, or we'll run up against an actually superior force that takes a few chunks out of us before we either win or run the fack away
04:21:59 Devastator: I'm expecting things to be badly balanced because people don't know their abilities and there are too many stats.
04:22:07 ER: And less likely than either of those is that we meet a force that we can fight effectively, given we think about what we're doing, utilize tactics.
04:22:46 ER: In that case we're probably going to lose, but might stop losing if people get their shit together.
04:23:25 Devastator: I'd say we'd be likely to lose, but this is the sort of type of game where there never is effective opposition.
04:23:41 Devastator: So I'll bet on it being pretty easy.
04:23:59 Devastator: I can see balance issues leading things the other way.
04:25:31 Devastator: That said, there really won't be any losing in a game where everyone's immortal. If we all die, we'll just level up anyway and win next time.
04:28:24 Devastator: well, lets see what we're looking at. If it looks bad, I'll come up with something to help even the odds.
04:32:21 Devastator: I did get one thing preemptively approved by the GM. I can use a camera to take pictures for detailed examination later, allowing perception check successes in a non-combat situation, regardless of stats.
04:40:36 Devastator: Oh, here's what syv said about a Pumsy's wish for increasing fluffiness.
04:40:38 Devastator: http://www.squishable.com/user_gallery/opensquish_mini_squish_werewolf_7/360s/opensquish_mini_squish_werewolf_7_design.jpg
04:45:27 Devastator: I'd expect more murder, but the murder's taking a while to get started..
05:07:30 Devastator: "The bears are not trying to start a war with us. They're just probing around and looking for a chance to expand. This is why it's important to watch the galactic map screen between turns; the instant that an enemy ship started moving into our territory, that was the time to design a warp 2 Small laser fighter and start building them out of our larger planets. We could probably have had a...
05:07:31 Devastator: ...few dozen of them ready to interdict that Bulrathi colony ship and shoot it down. For the Bulrathi more so that anyone else, you do not want to let them scout your planets, because they will send transports and, being the bears, they'll start taking over planets. "
05:16:09 Devastator: I suppose I should stop boring you.
05:18:00 ER: It doesn't make it to "boring" unless it actually catched my eye enough that I read it.
05:18:22 Devastator: ahh

16:50:16 Topic for #einsteinianroulette: Intergalactic Day of Mourning for 2016 (2016-2016)
16:50:16 Topic set by Remalle!Variety@i2246816zi629tu21.vc.shawcable.net [Tuesday 03 January 2017, 06:26:56]
19:06:52 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
20:17:21 Devastator: CULT.
20:17:32 ER: cult.
20:17:33 Devastator: Good to ask the eye what sort of place it wanted, that makes for a clear decision.
20:18:47 ER: ye
20:18:53 ER: Glad that worked.
20:20:41 Devastator: I'm going to, after we have a temple, buy a microfiche machine and a reducer.
20:21:40 ER: We probably want to purchace the mission, too. Just so we have a place to run to, even if it's shitty.
20:21:45 Devastator: It might seem odd if we have disgusting or horrid images on the walls, but nobody is going to take an in-depth look through a microfiche library without the good, so to speak.
20:21:57 Devastator: Yeah. Plus we could use a place to dissect stuff, for instance.
20:22:05 ER: Ah, yes.
20:23:14 ER: I'm sure that we won't be seen by a cristian group, sneaking into a ruined church at midnight, carrying the corpse of something or someone under a tarp.
20:24:53 Devastator: Heh.
20:25:01 Devastator: Hey, we gotta do the cult thing somehow.
20:25:29 ER: Let's move to the swamp
20:25:52 Devastator: That's why I want the microfiche. Then we can do it wherever, and just take pictures, and bring those to the temple.
20:26:24 ER: Where should we put the eye?
20:26:49 Devastator: In the university area. We can set up a darkroom there and say we are experimenting with thermal imaging, say.
20:26:59 ER: hmm.
20:27:37 Devastator: Nobody goes in a darkroom without permission, you could wreck months of work.
20:28:19 Devastator: We can also play around with all sorts of materials or chemicals, too.
20:29:46 ER: Unless they're crazy satanist hunters who will see a dark room and immediately decide to barge in there because that's probably where the secrets are. ;P
20:30:01 ER: And they won't be wrong!
20:30:30 Devastator: Yeah, but that's the case wherever we put it.
20:31:27 Devastator: We could put it in a safe and wall up a secret room, but it seems having the eye accessable to people is to our benefit.
20:32:49 ER: Yeh, but I could totally see some group deciding to charge into a university basement to check for satan-y things, moreso than some other locations that might be more secured or obscure. But the eye chose the place I guess, so I won't fight it.
20:34:52 Devastator: Hence the microfiche library. Nobody is interested enough to pull out 200 little white boxes and examine them in detail to find the incriminating evidence.
20:35:45 ER: Yeah, they'll just pile all the boxes on the floor and declare them heretical
20:43:20 Devastator: "Look! These guys have microfich copies of the entire works of this artist! Clearly, this is heresy!" ;-p
20:46:33 Devastator: (Although you wouldn't do that. Artworks don't do that in the best way.)
20:47:00 ER: CLEARLY heresy
20:47:07 ER: because EVERYTHING IS HERESY
20:48:04 Devastator: "I wish I was immune to pitchforks"
20:48:43 ER: pitchforks and fire
20:49:22 Devastator: Hmm.
20:49:26 Devastator: I wonder how much favor I can save up.
20:49:48 ER: up to d12 :P
20:51:13 Devastator: I thought it was just points.
20:51:22 ER: nah
20:51:42 ER: you roll it when you ask for a gift or favor, in addition to losing one level.
20:52:21 Devastator: You're right.
20:52:35 ER: If you had a lot, I bet you could use the "favor" in combat to wreck some people's lives.
20:53:27 Devastator: You can use it already to do that.
20:54:11 ER: Well *I* can't because I used my one level of favor to make myself not be made out of tissue paper.
20:54:20 Devastator: That's reasonable.
20:54:32 Devastator: and we'll get a second level when we put the orb in the new home.
20:54:47 Devastator: I'm just fishing around for a worthy goal.
20:54:48 ER: Hopefully!
20:55:06 Devastator: I'm pretty sure we would. Might have to decorate it a bit and find stuff it likes, but that won't be too hard.
20:55:46 ER: Ye, hopefully it will remain clear what we should do for favor
20:56:39 Devastator: Hmm, so you can be granted gifts or powers.
20:58:00 Devastator: Still need a goal, really.
21:02:47 ER: didn't the backstory part of the character sheet ask for a goal?
21:04:53 Devastator: Yes.
21:05:32 Devastator: The issue is that he'll figure out how things actually work as a matter of course, just by sticking with the cult.
21:06:08 Devastator: no idea what to pursue with the stats and such.
21:07:16 ER: ...Wonder if I can use Favor to upgrade my prettyness ;P
21:07:27 Devastator: I'm sure you could. I think that's the Will stat.
21:07:42 Devastator: But I've already got a character like that.
21:07:48 ER: I already have max will...
21:08:50 Devastator: Well then, ask for a specific favor.
21:08:54 Devastator: Aren't you playing Guile?
21:09:12 ER: nope, syv is
21:09:15 Devastator: No, that was syv.
21:09:17 Devastator: sorry.
21:09:28 ER: Guile is my other high stat though
21:09:40 Devastator: Well, no reason you couldn't ask for that as physical favors.
21:09:48 ER: yeah.
21:09:58 Devastator: I think those are called gifts.
21:10:16 Devastator: Heh, maybe I should get like six points together and ask to be a dragon or something. ;-p
21:11:20 Devastator: immortality.. can live in the woods.
21:11:57 ER: Become a cryptid
21:12:23 Devastator: Yup. Something immortal that can pass for human when he wants, then retire the character.
21:12:27 Devastator: Sounds like a plan.
21:13:11 ER: Occasionally go burn a town down and eat everyone ;P
21:13:29 Devastator: I think it'd take more than six favor to get that large.
21:13:38 Devastator: Also, that might lead to death by USAF.
21:14:13 ER: Ideally a dragon can defeat a wing of fighter jets.
21:15:21 Devastator: Hah, doubtful.
21:21:34 Devastator: So what's your goal?
21:22:48 ER: In line with the scholar-y-ness, find out how the world really works.
21:23:04 Devastator: Ahh.
21:23:30 ER: Also improve my health, but that might be accomplished satisfactorally already by bringing end to 1d6
21:23:43 Devastator: But nah, I think dragon would be good. Be immortal, be able to travel, be able to do things when desired to.
21:23:57 Devastator: Need to be able to pass off as human, but that's not a problem.
21:24:57 Devastator: Probably stick with the cult for a while to figure out how things work. Might investigate other such deitites at some point, though.
21:24:59 ER: yes, quite easy to disguise a giant winged lizard as a human
21:25:01 Devastator: don't want to only get one point of view.
21:25:04 Devastator: Maaagic.
21:25:47 Devastator: I suppose I should stat them out to see how much favor.
21:26:37 Devastator: 'be able to take human form.' 'be clinically immortal.'
21:27:13 Devastator: Hmm.
21:27:18 Devastator: Is PW on in the bone zone today?
21:28:02 ER: discord says he's online right now, but in do-not-disturb and playing DS3
21:28:55 Devastator: ahh.
21:29:16 Devastator: I'll send him a forum PM. I'll be headed out right now, but I"ll be back tonight.
21:37:01 Devastator: What's your goal?
21:37:23 ER: You already asked that.
21:38:34 Devastator: Yeah.
21:38:45 Devastator: I'll just wait for it.
21:40:56 Devastator: I wonder if you can favor die a favor roll.
21:41:34 ER: [munchkinry intensifies]
21:41:46 Devastator: Yeah, it says any stat roll.
21:42:14 Devastator: so favor die your roll to be granted a favor, and guarantee not getting a corruption or madness at the potential cost of a second favor.
21:43:07 ER: I probably WANT madness
21:43:52 Devastator: Heh.
22:41:04 Devastator: maaaaaadness.
22:41:10 ER: mad
22:43:06 Devastator: happy?
22:43:08 Devastator: sad?
22:43:16 ER: maaaad
22:43:18 Devastator: hulk?
22:43:23 ER: ANGERY
22:44:27 Devastator jots down to get ER some purple pants.
22:44:45 ER is currently wearing purple pants
22:45:20 Devastator: Wow.
22:49:31 Devastator: purple pants.
22:49:38 ER: yes.
22:50:54 Devastator: "every stinking bag, filled to bursting with purple pants."
22:52:50 Piecewise has joined #einsteinianroulette
22:53:11 Devastator: Heya PW.
22:53:16 Piecewise: hello
22:53:20 Piecewise: so
22:53:23 Piecewise: questions
22:53:36 Devastator: Can you use a fate point to guarantee a roll on the fate die?
22:54:04 Piecewise: uh
22:54:21 Piecewise: Favor point to guarantee a roll of what die?
22:54:27 Devastator: sorry.
22:54:40 Devastator: Favor point for favor die. Like asking for a perk and making it come out right.
22:54:45 Devastator: or gift or power.
22:54:57 ER: use one favor point to roll, and another favor point to enhance the roll.
22:55:39 Piecewise: Hmmm Maybe to roll at an advantage but not guarantee.
22:56:09 ER: Can I use favor to upgrade my prettyness? :3
22:56:58 Piecewise: Sure, though that might just be guile
22:57:02 Devastator: Would eternal youth be a possible gift?
22:57:18 Piecewise: Gifts work in a sort of specific way
22:57:35 Piecewise: You have to ask for what you want and it has to be within a set number of words
22:58:50 Devastator: set number of words?
22:58:57 Piecewise: Yep
22:59:07 Piecewise: sort of like a post on twitter
22:59:30 Piecewise: I do this to prevent someone from writing a fucking book
23:00:19 ER: "I wish for a fucking book"
23:00:20 ER: DONE
23:00:24 Devastator: Hmm.
23:00:41 Devastator: Was spitballing trying to save up favor until I can get enough to retire the character.
23:00:57 Piecewise: entirely possible
23:01:13 Piecewise: astral plane yourself~
23:01:15 Devastator: An existance like a shadowrun dragon would be nice. Can live alone in the woods that way, can turn human and interact with people when desired. Just trying to figure out how many favors that would take.
23:01:36 ER: alot
23:01:41 Piecewise: Depends on how well the favors go, partially
23:01:56 Piecewise: and the wording
23:02:21 Piecewise: Asking to be a shadowrun dragon might relegate you to being fictional.
23:03:02 Devastator: Yeah.
23:03:06 Devastator: Probably a bunch, though.,
23:05:33 Devastator: You available to watch Dark Souls 3 on Saturday?
23:17:30 Devastator: Piecewise?
23:19:01 Piecewise: yep
23:19:03 Piecewise: Sorry
23:19:06 Piecewise: doing a dig turn
23:19:14 Piecewise: distracted
23:19:24 ER: dig skeleton!
23:19:36 ER: dig harder, my servant!
23:19:47 ER: don't give up, skeleton!
23:19:57 Devastator: okay. I'll get set.
23:22:26 Devastator: How's Dig going?
23:22:38 Devastator: Syv succeed in murdering everyone through bomb collars?
23:47:52 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
23:48:06 Devastator: heya syv.
23:48:09 syv: I spy a Piecewise. How unusual!
23:48:13 ER: hai
23:48:17 syv: Hi, Dev!
23:48:20 Devastator: I asked him to show up, had some CULT related questions.
23:48:27 syv: ...And Erupting Ruckus.
23:48:29 Devastator: They'll be in the logs.
23:48:42 syv: I saw. I'mma log reader.
23:48:48 Devastator: also, streaming DS III on Saturday.
23:49:02 syv: I'll remember not to come on~
23:51:07 Piecewise: One of the few times sy won't come on to dev
23:52:09 syv: Wha? I don't ever come on to Dev. She's Eternal River's girlfriend, not mine.
23:52:29 Piecewise: Love triangle
23:52:33 syv: That's why she keeps bringing up ER at the weirdest, most random times, just to complain about ER.
23:52:48 syv: Nah, neither of them are my type. They can be happy together.
23:53:11 ER: aw
23:53:36 syv: Sorry, Equally Rigid.
23:54:02 Piecewise: Extremely rigid while you're around
23:54:09 Piecewise: hey
23:54:10 Piecewise: o
23:54:56 syv is very attractive, yes, you don't need to point it out
23:57:01 Devastator: Endlessly Rigid.
