00:59:19 Devastator: Well, the arc seems to be doing a good job of describing ally as a middling combatant who is virtually invulnerable.
00:59:51 ER: Strong as fuck and still a massive idiot
01:33:04 ER: "This would be a lot more heartwarming if the birthday cake wasn't smiling smugly at us."
01:39:15 Devastator: getting some food together.
01:39:30 Devastator: poke
NJW if he shows up, okay? I doubt it, but I don't know for certain.
02:11:10 Devastator: or
MJ for that matter.
02:56:23 Devastator: Apparently it's a will save to keep your pants from exploding.
02:56:57 Devastator: blue goblin blew up my backpack.
02:58:03 Devastator: I'm more mad about the pants, really.

04:31:56 Devastator has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
04:32:00 Devastator_ is now known as Devastator
04:42:48 Devastator: Dammit, the British surrender at Singapore happened for a huge number of reasons. Blaming it solely on racism is the same kind of stupidity being repeated.
04:45:10 Devastator: Yeah. It downplays the competence of the campaign in malaya, and ignores the more specific issues. Easy to blame racism and say 'But I'm better than them, because I'm not racist'.
04:46:31 Devastator: It was defended by two brigades of completely raw aussie recruits which were barely armed, the garrison had no water, and there were no land fortifications because there was no money for them, to the point of being specifically barred from building any.
04:49:51 Devastator: The empire was stretched way too thin on far too many fronts to properly defend the far east. Pride and hubris.
04:51:34 Devastator: And, dammit, as many failings as they made, there were individuals who realized the situation. There were reinforcements en-route. If it was undefended because they thought it couldn't be at risk, they wouldn't have sent the raw brigades at all, or the 18th division which was en-route.
04:53:09 Devastator: At the time the idiots who caused the issues were happy to lay the blame on Percival, (who was, admittedly, not great.). Finding out that today they've passed it from Percival to Racism is just finding a new scapegoat.
04:54:56 Devastator: Plus the whole thing ended up showing how unimportant Singapore was to begin with.
04:56:58 Devastator: oh well, enough whining.
04:57:18 ER: wah wah something about history
04:58:40 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:00:06 Devastator: basically there's two interesting lines for conversation about it, and they went with the lazy third one instead of examining either 'They fucked up the defense of something important' or 'They never should have let tens of thousands of people get captured by putting them in an indefensable situation for pride.'
05:00:11 Devastator: but enough on that.
05:00:24 Devastator: something happen to Pumsy's?
05:00:31 Devastator: The thread seems to have ate an update or something.
05:00:54 syv: No, I just haven't been up to writing.
05:01:26 ER: alidalida alida Alida. Alida
05:01:26 ER: alida alida! Alida, alida alida
05:01:26 ER: alida Alidalida alida alida. Alida Al
05:01:39 syv: Yeah, that is as it was intended.
05:02:41 Devastator: I thought I posted orders after that update came, but they seem to be before that post.
05:02:47 Devastator: It's like your posts got shifted down one each.
05:02:58 Devastator: or did I get stupid today?
05:03:37 Devastator: right, I edited that post.
05:04:10 Devastator:
NJW popped in earlier. Might be on break now.
05:05:29 ER: slightly terrifying to be one action from gentle away from it being time to do a demonsgame thread
05:05:34 syv: Yeah, you just editted your first action post.
05:05:44 ER: not even sure what I want to call the thread.
05:06:21 Devastator: That is still the plan, right?
05:06:26 Devastator: demon in demon game?
05:06:56 syv: Alexander Cole, souless suit.
05:06:57 ER: Considered ALBEOM, but made the mistake of googling it and seeing that there's an album or something called that.
05:07:06 ER: ...which probably means its fine
05:07:23 syv: Whoever named their album "Albeom" is an idiot.
05:07:52 syv: Probably not even a real meosician.
05:08:29 syv: It's just obviously steopid.
05:09:11 Devastator: I wonder if you could conceal things.
05:09:30 Devastator: So that the player player doesn't know about the demons, and the demons don't know the other thread is the real one.
05:10:40 Devastator: I thought you were making some kinda dual game thing where there are demons in one game and a player in another game.
05:10:41 a has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:11:28 syv: Our actions are known in the main thread, but we're banned from looking at that thread.
05:11:36 Devastator: Well, I just want to watch. ;-p
05:11:58 syv: Also, Egan might choose to not explain everything in the main thread.
05:12:21 Devastator: he might have advice if you aren't planning on including him as
a player.
05:12:49 syv: You can watch in the main thread, and even play intermittently if you like.
05:13:05 syv: Demons shouldn't need to be terribly consistent or present.
05:13:08 ER: Also nested PROBABLY is only alive right not because
MJ linked Blue Stahli
05:14:18 syv: if only i could be so grossly incandescent...
05:21:42 Devastator: sunglasses at night?
05:22:19 ER: Maybe I should give alexander and richard mini turns...
05:22:55 ER: no, not alexander. That's very actiony and not very examiney
05:25:59 syv: Does Alexander know the woman that he's strangling?
05:26:48 ER: But if you want to know for sure you have to ask in PM, not here
05:27:14 ER: I'm not coming up with names for people unless you ask. :V
05:29:31 Devastator: Just call everyone Kevin.
05:34:03 syv: You strangle the [person], watching the [color] leak from their [face].
05:57:36 syv: Everything colored red in that is lethal.
06:02:30 Devastator: Usually I'm flippant, but that does seem hard.
06:04:12 syv: Yes. It is indeed difficult to move through tunnels where the floor, ceiling, and walls are all lava, with only
a pair of magic grapples to propel you.
06:04:48 ER: easier than doing it without the magic grapples
06:05:02 syv: I like how the map just stops giving him walls to actually grab. Just places random little floating rocks and pillars outside the tunnel of death.
06:05:12 Devastator: it starts doing so again.
06:07:22 Devastator: Oh, lovely, Mummy Rot.
06:14:28 ER: but yeah, need
MJ to toss more music at me really >.>
06:29:20 Devastator: And not chiptunes, I'm assuming.
06:29:52 ER: anything that's... reasonably likely to be thematic
06:30:18 ER: cyberpunky and demonic for nested
06:39:12 ER: I was vaguely considering making
a playlist for music thematic to Refine
06:45:09 syv: I want to emphasize that moving in straight lines *parallel* to
a wall is VERY difficult in that game.
07:18:29 Devastator: Well, you have one, I just don't have
a PM with orders for it.
07:41:02 Devastator: We need a bird.. that's also
a kitten.
07:41:28 ER: all birds are kittens if you have enough insight
07:53:01 MJ has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:53:21 MJ: I'll be here for
a brief mo.
07:53:36 ER: hey
MJ gimme more metal please <3
07:53:52 Devastator: You got some things going on in birdgame.
07:54:06 MJ: What kinda metal
ER? I have lots, probably enough to set up my own foundry. :P
07:54:19 MJ: I saw
Dev, I have not had time to react latelly.
07:54:41 MJ: I quite liked what's going on though. Seems very intresting
07:54:51 Devastator: Give him some aluminum. I don't think he's ready for anything heavier.
07:55:17 Devastator: Yeah, I wasn't expecting that to happen, but it did.
07:55:40 MJ: You ever read the stormlight archives
Dev?
07:56:40 Devastator: There's still the question about what you're going to do next.
07:56:52 MJ: Ah. Well you might like it? I frankly have no idea. But there's
a bit in it that kinda remineded me of what's going on with dunkus
07:56:54 Guest22344 has quit [Quit: Guest22344]
07:57:33 Devastator: What happens in stormlight archives?
08:02:13 Devastator: (And find
ER some metal, please.)
08:02:26 MJ: It's got a bunch of charecters. But one of the main ones gets these dreams that are left by this old entity, and they have chuck him into a historical scene where essentialy everyone see's him as someone else, Like sometimes he's like a solider or
a farmer or whatever b it's kinda cool
08:02:41 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
08:03:02 MJ: I'll give him some next time I'm on. I'm like
a metal santa claus.
08:03:05 syv: It has
a person who flies by controlling their personal gravity, and
MJ insists it's like AoT, but then it's only
a small part.
08:03:53 Devastator: Well, that's not what's happening to you, but I'll leave out the details.
08:03:57 MJ: It's just there's like 6 major charecters or so? Maybe
a few more or less, it sorta depends.
08:04:51 syv: Note that everything red is very lethal.
08:04:52 Devastator: You're you, and you get the feeling that they're seeing you as you. They didn't know about you before you showed up, and that seems to still be the case.
08:05:22 MJ: Coolio. I was kinda confused by the birdscout bit
08:06:28 Devastator: Well, you're also
a Bird-scout. That's new.
08:07:05 MJ: You know, I wonder if the guys in AOT have the portal long fall boots. They don't seem particaly fased by long drops.'
08:07:11 Devastator: It's like if you were a librarian or
a dedicated fisher.
08:07:15 Devastator: Rule of cool, that is.
08:07:41 MJ: ...or whiplash now that I think about it.
08:08:18 syv: I think they do get hurt by falls, they just never fall far without catching themselves.
08:08:31 Devastator: Or black out due to g-force.
08:08:32 syv: Whiplash though, yeah, all their necks should be broken.
08:10:03 syv: I think
a few of them vomit, actually.
08:11:06 MJ: from non emotianl distress though
08:11:58 syv: Didn't someone vomit when they were first training with the gear?
08:12:12 MJ: I don't think so? But I'm not sure
08:17:07 MJ: Anyway
Dev, do you wan't answers in like PM or IRC?
08:22:43 Devastator: I can handle them either way, but IRC might be quicker.
08:22:56 MJ: I am definetlly for the quicker option
08:23:09 Devastator:
RC was also interested in hearing what's going on, so I'll shoot him
a message.
08:23:24 Devastator: So are we starting?
08:23:53 Devastator: any questions? Answers?
08:24:27 MJ: I'll just go down the list for ansers if that works? and then follow up with questions as I go.
08:26:40 Devastator: First question up is "Who are you?"
08:26:53 MJ: Dunkus Tablea Specalist Bird Scout. There's
a more like me around but I'm not sure where they are, Yes we are your new allies. ((I'm not sure what cardinal direction the birds are so just go with that))
08:27:49 Devastator: "What are you doing out here?"
08:28:17 MJ: I was sent to provide intellegence on the strength of the swiftrunners
08:28:30 MJ: the flight helps with that.
08:28:50 Devastator: That seems to have confused them
a bit.
08:29:31 MJ: I mean, like where I did I lose them? The mention of the swiftrunners or the quip about the flight?
08:29:45 Devastator: "I was sent to provide intellegence on the strength of the swiftrunners"
08:29:50 Devastator: That one. They can get that you fly.
08:32:04 MJ: Ahem, I mean I was sent to help scout the numbers of swiftrunners to make sure they aren't massing for
a secret attack out of sight of this position.
08:33:45 Devastator: "But you're with us. Those are our orders. What were you doing before you joined up?"
08:35:43 MJ: Does the magic provide any instinct about this?
08:36:33 Devastator: Well.. no. You know that they're your allies, and you're one of the group, but you can't get what they're having an issue with.
08:36:54 Devastator: You do feel that it isn't pressing, though. You're with them now so it's more out of curiosity rather than hostility.
08:38:17 MJ: Ah, before I got here I had been doing scout training, Before I joined the army I was
a bouncer.
08:39:24 Devastator: There are some confused looks about 'training', but you notice something coming over them and they just settle back to being contented with that statement.
08:43:46 MJ: Would dunkus be able to use
a sling in his beak or talons?
08:44:23 Devastator: What did you have in mind?
08:45:27 MJ: Just being able to harras enemies with
a sling while in flight.
08:46:21 Devastator: Well, it wouldn't be a sling, but you could get something to help you throw rocks a bit harder. The issue is that it'd be hard to carry too many missiles that way. If you have a sack or
a net, you can drop more stones that way.
08:46:58 Devastator: Usually you just sharpen them and either drop a big one in a steep dive, or scatter
a net full of sharp ones from further above.
08:47:00 MJ: How do birds typically fight enemies? Like how did the fight the swiftrunners enmasse back in the day?
08:48:10 Devastator: You've got sharpened rocks and actual caltrops as weapons you drop on people. If you had enough metal you might be able to do some darts which would be better than rocks.
08:48:42 Devastator: For close up, you can make metal things to put on your claws that cut better and are sharper and stronger, or you can get narrow poles with metal heads you use as one-off weapons to stab on
a dive.
08:49:23 Devastator: Mostly you don't really do pitched battles. You might confront them in groups, but you birds don't use the complicated organization like humans do for infantry.
08:52:22 Devastator: For what you know, though, you don't do well. It's just very hard for one of you to kill a swiftrunner, and you're generally trading a life for
a couple of surviveable wounds.
08:52:34 Devastator: And there's so many of them.
08:53:23 MJ: I see, so do they typically just hit us with bows? Or typically are just good at blocking any dives?
08:53:26 Devastator: That said, you don't need to tell them that. You know that they don't know those.
08:53:54 Devastator: spears, javelins, and bows. They generally move to drive you out of your homes, and pick off any who choose to fight.
08:55:23 Devastator: of late, though, the last five or six years they seem more angry and maddened.
08:56:13 MJ: What cardinal direction do we seem to be in?
08:57:00 MJ: like does this terrain look at all familaR?
08:58:39 Devastator: No, this isn't terrain you've seen before. That you know. It resembles rolling plains with mostly grass and some denser vegitation, but there's something else off about it.. it's clearly not the world you know, even if it looks relatively ordinary.
09:00:40 Devastator: I mean it isn't plains of solid bone with cotton candy bushes, but it's definately not this earth.
09:02:05 Devastator: Any questions you have of them?
09:03:04 MJ: Do they have any particular idea what
a normal conctration of swiftunners is?
09:04:43 Devastator: "It depends on what the ... is. They're organized, it depends on what they're doing. Thirty-some is
a pretty normal group, it's about the same as this one, roughly."
09:04:57 Devastator: "These ones are short
a few, then, but so are we."
09:06:17 Devastator: "Oh, you know how it is. They move you around, there were some skirmishes, and a couple get killed. The last one we gave as good as we got, though, so it isn't a problem. Eventually you'll get some new people after
a time."
09:07:33 MJ: Course. Are we being purely defensive?
09:09:58 Devastator: The boss one answers this. You feel it's a bit vague, but the answer is basically "Yeah. No problem with fighting them, but they'll shoot
a couple of us while we're crossing the river, and then we gotta go uphill. We ain't got orders to do that, so we'll just stay here and keep an eye on them."
09:13:43 MJ: Well I have
a few other questions, but I need to go to bed
09:15:38 Devastator: Oh, you do get the feeling that they send
a couple guys around to get info, but they're not there to fight, just see what there is to see.
09:16:46 MJ has left #einsteinianroulette
11:57:40 NJW has joined #einsteinianroulette
11:58:04 syv: Heya Natural Justice Warrior.
11:58:25 Devastator: Just had
a sess discussing birdgame with
MJ.
11:59:45 Devastator: revived my old roll to save the world with the people on here to fill some time while unemployed.
11:59:54 Devastator: employed again, but it's taking up less time than it was, so it's better.
12:00:46 Devastator: It's not secret. I could put you on the BCC list to recieve the turns if you'd like.
12:02:10 syv: The characters are, sadly, much less interesting than those in Coven.
12:04:13 syv: Does reply all reply to BCCs?
12:04:53 syv: So he'd only get the updates, and not actions.
12:05:48 Devastator: well, yeah, unless I copy those into the turns.
12:06:37 NJW: if the actions would be necessary, don't bother. How does the game work, though? Do players not know other players' actions?
12:06:57 Devastator: Right now they're seperated.
12:07:07 Devastator: if they get back together, I'll start
a thread.
12:10:30 Devastator: so how are you doing?
12:10:45 NJW: Bit tired out but pretty much ok.
12:11:33 Devastator: ok. Work's been busy, but it runs
a few more weeks before the lift ends.
12:14:26 Devastator: It's just how it's referred to the harvest, where they move all the trees up from the beds in the greenhouses into the sorting room.
12:16:19 Devastator: I'm working in
a tree factory.
12:17:31 NJW: Wait, is it the same thing as
a plant nursery, or just trees?
12:17:41 NJW: And what are the trees for?
12:18:48 Devastator: for replanting the trees they cut down in the woods to turn into lumber and wood chips.
12:19:11 Devastator: you cut them down, plant new trees, and thirty or forty years later, cut them down again.
12:25:37 Devastator: Anyway.. surviving school?
12:27:12 NJW: The uni I go to has unusually short terms but covers as much content as any other here, so studying tends to overwhelm one's life.
12:27:44 Devastator: that does sound rough.
12:27:59 Devastator: It's
a week shorter, so you have longer breaks, but that's one less week to cover stuff.
12:30:07 NJW: Well, each term is three weeks shorter than some unis here. Hence the lack of communication: I was mostly socialising irl when I had much time off.
12:30:27 Devastator: three weeks is
a lot shorter.
12:30:59 Devastator: Try not to forget it for party time.
12:32:02 Devastator: Anyway, with birdgame basically the participants are all flying birds around in
a strange realm of the gods, looking for powers, magical items, etc, to hopefully help them save their society when they get back.
12:32:27 NJW: What's the society threatened by?
12:32:37 Devastator: Well, they're fucked three times over, basically.
12:33:05 Devastator: They're getting murdered and forced out of their last territories by relatively giant centaurs, who fight a lot better than they do and outnumber them
a thousand to one.
12:33:20 NJW: Sheesh. That's
a lot of problem
12:33:23 Devastator: The ecology is also screwed up, so many of them will starve this winter because of it.
12:33:39 Devastator: And if they dodge both of those the third problem will become obvious.
12:34:11 Devastator: Yeah. The Happy Fun Table of Doom can be pretty rough.
12:34:38 syv: (
Devastator) So.. you going to ask him about Coven, or am I going to have to do that?
12:34:50 syv: HEY
NJW DEV WANTS HIS HAIRY SUCCUNUS BACK
12:35:13 Devastator: You've been bugging me about bugging him about it for weeks,
syv.
12:35:25 Devastator: I do like it, but games do die, you know..
12:36:22 NJW: I'll have more time next term at uni (6 courses go down to 4), but would probably want to do something else if I do run
a RTD.
12:37:17 syv: Please PM me when you do run another thing.
12:37:21 Devastator: Yeah, that is kinda aww.
12:38:06 Devastator: Oh well. Any ideas?
12:38:09 NJW: ...the fortnightly or whatever updates weren't really doing justice to the player investment anyway.
12:38:22 NJW: For new games. No. But I'm interested in birdgame
12:39:12 NJW: So where's his character, right now?
12:40:00 Devastator: Like the other characters, in the Realm of the Gods. He managed, through a series of ridiculous events, ended up facing
a different god than the one he chose.
12:40:31 NJW: Which god? Or is that information private as the party's split?
12:40:34 Devastator: Sadly, since he's encountering the god directly, it's likely to end fairly soon.
12:40:48 Devastator: God of Life and two other domains that aren't obvious.
12:41:24 NJW: Interesting. So are the players trying to get stuff from the gods?
12:41:38 Devastator: For the most part, but there are other options.
12:42:31 syv: My char is an extremely, constantly, optimistic bird. He sees the good side to EVERYTHING. Naturally, he tried to contract with the god of death, screwed it up due to being too brave, and ended up talking to the god of life.
12:42:54 NJW: Ah. And which of the bird problems is your character trying to solve?
12:43:11 syv: Uhh, the whole being genocided thing.
12:43:14 syv has quit [Quit: Definitely a psyv.]
12:44:29 Devastator: It's okay, I don't think they're thinking about that much.
12:44:33 Devastator: just winging it, so to speak.
12:45:45 NJW: So has any bird managed to get anywhere near
a solution?
12:47:19 Devastator: Nope! But everyone just dithering around and not thinking much is part of the fun.
12:47:46 Devastator: There are things they can do without powers, but they'll end up with something useful.
12:47:58 Devastator: Still questionable if they actually do it, but that's how things go.
12:49:21 NJW: Makes sense. Any hilarious moments yet?
12:50:36 Devastator: Well,
MJ's in
a weird bit right now, as is
ER.
12:50:45 Devastator: although I think with my reputation people are playing it pretty sane.
12:51:39 NJW: I'd imagine. Still, doing stupid things and watching the consequences can be pretty fun.
12:53:46 Devastator: Oh, there's this and that. I had people do some similar things in the base game.
13:02:12 Radio_Controlled has joined #einsteinianroulette
13:02:26 Radio_Controlled: What's up my well dressed droogies?
13:02:50 NJW: Very little. Relaxing and talking about birdgame
13:05:21 Devastator: Coven is dead, sadly.
13:08:05 Devastator: I'm a little sad about not getting to drive through nazi-town with machine guns, or about using a webcam as
a growth potion, but so it goes.
13:08:21 Devastator: I did have
a discussion with
MJ about his bird, though.
13:09:10 Devastator: Dunno if he'll figure out what's going on, but it shouldn't matter. Be interesting either way.
13:10:36 Devastator: The exchange should be in
paris's logs, though, if you want to read it.
13:15:04 Radio_Controlled: Ah, too bad about coven. Now we'll never know how big birb would get. :(
13:15:55 Radio_Controlled: Saeko will have to make up for the difference.
13:16:11 Devastator: well, that'll require her to live through the underwater adventure.
13:16:35 Devastator: I hate to say it, but I don't think
a large flying creature will benefit me for underwater exploration.
13:18:55 Radio_Controlled: Flying fishes?
13:19:20 Radio_Controlled: Some dragons are water creatures, maybe go wrangle one of those.
13:19:22 Devastator: Unfortunately, I think
PW may be giving me
a 'sleep' word with this patient.
13:19:37 Devastator: which is good, but it'll fill her last slot.
13:19:54 Radio_Controlled: Sleep would be
a good word for her non-lethal method of combat, no?
13:20:56 Devastator: Oh yes, it's very useful.
13:21:10 Devastator: I just wanted
a slot free for your grab bag if we ever end up meeting.
13:22:34 Devastator: Also, I almost had her explode her head.
13:23:35 Radio_Controlled: That would have been
a rather ignominious death I must say.
13:23:59 Radio_Controlled: One for the books for sure.
13:23:59 Devastator: well, had to learn which word to use to improve mental capabilities.
13:24:16 Radio_Controlled: Well, it certainly expanded her mind!
13:24:53 Radio_Controlled: Hmm, maybe she can fly that way, just inflate her head till she's
a living air balloon.
13:25:17 Radio_Controlled: Then we just need some helium and
a way to replace the air in her head with it.
13:25:32 Devastator: What's reverse vacuum?
13:25:44 Devastator: Would that act like
a weak air?
13:26:15 NJW: Well, gotta go for
a bit, so see you guys
13:26:26 Devastator: thanks for coming by.
13:26:50 Radio_Controlled: Reverse vacuum? Not sure if I can do that.
13:27:21 Radio_Controlled: Though regular vacuum would work for lighter than air flight, assuming her skull could handle the pressure.
13:27:37 Radio_Controlled: Hmm, that'd be an even better death, head implosion.
13:27:49 Devastator: No, I don't think she's going to let anyone else cast head spells on her after that last one.
13:28:49 Radio_Controlled: No solid diamond dome for Saeko then.
13:29:28 Devastator: Nah, I don't think she'd do that.
13:29:53 Devastator: You could make her robe out of diamond thread, though..
13:29:57 Devastator: that'd be interesting.
13:30:14 Radio_Controlled: It'd certainly be fancy.
13:32:28 Radio_Controlled: No idea how much it'd cost though, in terms of mana.
13:32:52 Radio_Controlled: Doesn't sound -that- hard though.
13:34:25 Devastator: Well, we'll sort it out.
13:34:43 Devastator: might not be that much better, though. It's probably like it's metallic thread already from the earlier strengthen.
13:36:31 Devastator: hell, might need the strengthen so it doesn't shatter horribly upon stress.
13:36:42 Radio_Controlled: Hopefully those radios aren't too expensive, then we could get you one and keep
a line of communication open.
13:37:18 Radio_Controlled: Oh yeah, diamond isn't exactly the best armor material. Thought bling factor was more important here.
13:38:26 Devastator: nah, diamond claws on the grypon would be better.
13:38:33 Radio_Controlled: Hmm, how about
a nice dress made of reanimated viscera instead?
13:38:40 Radio_Controlled: Now there's
a fashion statement.
13:39:21 Devastator: but that might sell okay as bait.
13:40:28 Devastator: Any ideas for your bug hunt?
13:40:59 Radio_Controlled: Yeah, though
a lot will depend on what you and perhaps some other npc's in the area can tell Darwin IC'ly.
13:42:14 Radio_Controlled: First thing to decide will be to either try to find the bugs/their nest on our own terms (Ecalir having the word for bug would help there) or to join
a caravan and try to capture one or more of the bugmen for questioning.
13:44:22 Radio_Controlled: The bugs might not even have
a 'nest' in realspace to find, but I also don't know if any caravans have been attacked lately, or how often one gets attacked.
13:44:39 Devastator:
a few weeks ago one was.
13:44:45 Devastator: I know that for sure.
13:45:07 Radio_Controlled: If it's one in a hundred caravans getting attacked it might take
a while.
13:45:33 Devastator: one in six, I'd guess.
13:45:52 Radio_Controlled: Either way, having the 'rope' word should really help with capturing at least one alive.
13:46:14 Radio_Controlled: And even if not, reanimate.
13:47:03 Radio_Controlled: Gotta say Cabal's getting fewer turns compared to the other games, or at least that's what it feels like.
13:47:46 Devastator: well, second after Coven..
13:47:56 Devastator: eh, I'll bug him again after christmas. It really was
a good game.
13:48:08 Radio_Controlled: Then once we know more, well, it'll depend on what we're dealing with. Can think of
a few things, but not enough to go on yet really.
13:48:32 Radio_Controlled: Yeah, it was fun to hear about it. But I can understand why, starting uni and all.
13:48:53 Devastator: I think he said he might start
a new game with something different.
13:48:57 Devastator: That would be
a disappointment.
13:52:22 Radio_Controlled: Did he say why he dropped the game?
13:53:15 Devastator: Nope. Too much time to do updates, presumably, and not often enough for the intrest, also presumably.
13:53:17 Devastator: Maybe other stuff too.
13:56:05 Radio_Controlled: At least cabal can provide on the 'ever larger birb' front.
13:56:08 Radio_Controlled: It's something
13:57:33 Devastator: Never got to do that, sadly.
13:57:37 Devastator: no flying mounts, dammit.
13:58:44 Radio_Controlled:
PW once mentioned dragons in cabal, maybe one of those could be
a good flying mount?
13:59:01 Radio_Controlled: With the bonus option of roasting fools alive.
13:59:28 Devastator: really? Musta missed that.
13:59:53 Devastator: (Sorry, no matches were found)
14:00:04 Radio_Controlled: Might have been on the discord.
14:01:35 Radio_Controlled: 00:15] Radio Controlled: Speaking of mana, I assume his last kill also didn't earn him anything due to the large roll difference?
14:01:35 Radio_Controlled: [00:16] Mr. Bones: nah
14:01:35 Radio_Controlled: [00:16] Mr. Bones: He's too fucking good
14:01:35 Radio_Controlled: [00:16] Mr. Bones: get him to fight
a dragon or something
14:01:50 Radio_Controlled: So presumably, those are
a thing.
14:04:02 Devastator: That sounds more like 'nope, not really.'
14:04:05 Radio_Controlled: Never check the terrorist box.
14:04:30 Devastator: Should ask him to keep
a running tally of the mana value of my griffen.
14:04:52 Radio_Controlled: I'd think dragons would be a thing if he mentions them like that, plus the fact they're just
a general fantasy trope that would seem to fit into this world.
14:06:52 Radio_Controlled: "Following that interview, they would presumably be cleared to visit either New York temporarily or Guantanamo permanently."
14:07:58 Devastator notes down to kill a dragon because my griffen outmuscles it. ;-p
14:08:17 Radio_Controlled: I'd pay good money to watch that.
14:08:44 Radio_Controlled: Might have to find the 'popcorn' word first though.
14:09:24 Devastator: I don't think I'd want to be anywhere near it, except I'd be riding it because.
14:11:14 Radio_Controlled: But think of the tickets sales!
14:11:19 Radio_Controlled: The merchandise!
14:11:34 Devastator: well, witnesses should mean some hugs.
14:11:53 Radio_Controlled: Hugs AND T-shirt sales.
14:13:04 Devastator: any suggestions for the party/rally I'm going to do after finding
a way in?
14:13:49 Radio_Controlled: Into the waterworld you mean?
14:14:01 Devastator: I don't know what exactly I'll be getting into.
14:14:08 Devastator: it could be
a waterworld, but it could be something else.
14:14:10 Radio_Controlled: Well, you'll need
a punchbowl and something to spike it with of course.
14:14:21 Devastator hopes it isn't Dark Saeko or someone farming humans for mana.
14:14:32 Radio_Controlled: Uppers and downers to get to and fro the waterparty.
14:14:55 Radio_Controlled: Pumping techno music.
14:17:01 Devastator: ahh, gotta hit the sack.
14:17:46 Radio_Controlled: Ahh, too bad.
14:17:49 Radio_Controlled: Well, good night.
14:18:03 Radio_Controlled: Don't let the bedbugs bite.
14:20:13 Devastator: one day I'll get
a flying mount.
14:20:27 Devastator: Heh, maybe you'll run into the caravan with the baby one in it. ;-p
14:21:15 Devastator: Maybe AVA will update.
14:23:57 Radio_Controlled: Maybe
a rogue black hole will crash into our solar system.
14:31:27 Devastator: I should have just taken the bird that was available.
14:35:42 Radio_Controlled: Your first giant bird monster is
a special moment in any girl's life, cherish it.
