01:07:35 Devastator: Maybe
syv should be playing the secret PvP character in Cabal.
01:13:36 Devastator: I'm having fun playing a healer, but murdering other PCs is something I'd find enjoyable..
01:13:41 ER: now I feel like making P&P mechs again
01:14:38 ER: though my next system would probably end up becoming even more complicated and technical than the current mage system ;P
01:15:17 ER: had people making mage characters when they were already at their limit and mech slots were open...
01:15:59 ER: though if I can manage to make them both really complicated then maybe a managable number of people will join. ;P
01:17:36 ER: maybe I should just make a non-PvP P&P game, would be more managable.
01:18:10 Devastator: Wasn't that because mages were awesome and mechs sucked? ;-p
01:18:46 ER: you had an irrational thing about that, didn't you?
01:21:29 Devastator: That's a way to look at it, yes.
01:24:28 Devastator: IIRC, it was mostly because nobody knew how to play the game.
01:38:23 Devastator sighs at dridergame.
01:38:26 Devastator: of course she isn't dead.
01:39:12 ER: that was probably inevitable with putting Alexia in charge
01:39:35 ER: maximally exploiting people is her jam
01:40:28 Devastator: Yes. And not killing her, and everyone's eating obviously infected chickens.
01:40:50 Devastator: I think most people put Alexia in charge because it was easier than coming up with something.
01:41:01 Devastator: not because it was what they wanted. With the exception of you.
01:41:11 ER: she's the brains of out operation, clearly
01:41:51 Devastator: If you wanted to be a monster, we could have just eaten her.
01:42:05 Devastator: I am kinda wondering what the reaction would be to eating another drider.
01:42:37 ER: well, just gotta wait until she fucks with us again and then we can find out!
01:43:20 Devastator: I just want to be attacking, dammit.
01:43:34 Devastator: instead of sitting around having every post cause new problems.
01:55:41 Devastator: well, there's anti mind-control soup.
01:55:50 Devastator: lets go make that, might counter the chicken thing.
02:14:01 Devastator: and from reading the logs, I should tell
syv his game is crap.
02:14:04 Devastator: I could get all nitpicky..
03:25:42 Devastator: I should try to criticize what he has then.
03:25:52 Devastator: or just help him power through it
03:26:33 ER: it's the sophia withdrawl man, it's killin me!
03:27:22 Devastator: "Do eight scenes in the memories. Each one should be no longer than two sentences. Here's the progression of scenes..
03:30:01 Devastator: "stop bitching about that idea/paragraph being crap, it's just fine."
03:31:37 Devastator: "This one actually is crap, here's what you should write."
Syv: "No, that idea's terrible."
03:32:03 ER: you know, I'm not sure how helpful your ideas actually are :P
03:34:27 ER: if I wrote something for him I'd end up not posting it because I'd just think it sucks
03:34:43 Devastator: Yeah, that's the issue on his end.
03:34:50 Devastator: and often mine too.
03:39:17 Devastator: reminds me of that.
03:39:30 Devastator: lacks sweet bro, though.
04:31:58 Devastator: ..also, I really don't want to read my old stuff.
04:32:02 Devastator: looks terrible to me too.
04:35:22 Devastator: Also, time for Rezel to do something useful this mission.
04:35:52 Devastator: Just put in my orders.
04:37:30 Devastator: I didn't want to put more stats into melee, but might as well.

07:44:33 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:54:21 Devastator: anything I can do for you?
07:55:51 Devastator: other than tactical pencil case.
07:58:35 syv: Nah, probably not. You've been complaining about me not being here often, though.
07:59:25 Devastator: Been working too much.
08:00:44 syv: Mm. Sorry, been sleeping way too late, my alarm clock has lost a lot of efficacy.
08:01:25 Devastator: well, won't be here tomorrow night, due to schedule change.
08:04:41 Devastator: Well, lets see if I can manage to not lose this melee attempt in Mook.
08:07:19 Devastator: "I wish I learned insanely fast."
08:11:08 syv: I think that mook action is a very, very poor idea on your part.
08:11:24 syv: It might still get Rezel killed though, we'll see.
08:12:58 Devastator: Mostly tired of mook.
08:13:24 Devastator: Lets get it done. Either I'll live and get off this rock, so to speak, or I'll have a character die and be done with it.
08:14:29 syv: Mm. Yeah. 888th is better.
08:14:56 Devastator: Probably roll badly, though.
08:18:42 Devastator: also though that wishing to learn fast was hilarious for some reason.
08:21:23 Devastator: well, it'd probalbly be fun for a while.
08:21:32 Devastator: Unless you, say, browse the internet badly.
08:21:49 syv: It'd probably not have any real effects in the game. It wouldn't alter stats, and the utility it might grant if someone actually tried to learn useful skills would never be found; people don't actually pursue learning useful skills in PS.
08:22:32 Devastator: I was more thinking just for flavor.
08:22:36 syv: At most it'd get some minor flavor text, but even that might be forgotten simply because the wish is so ineffectual.
08:22:47 Devastator: doubt it'd be that bad.
08:23:03 syv: I have to remember that the wish happened to write flavor text for it.
08:23:31 syv: If it doesn't actually affect anything, that means I have to remember an arbitrary unconnected fact for many months.
08:23:49 Devastator: ..I'd expect it to come up all the time in labrynths.
08:24:06 Devastator: I mean, the player would have to mention it, but..
08:24:14 syv: It would never come up in labyrinths because then it's a GM puzzle solver, and I loathe such things.
08:24:42 Devastator: so ineffectual because it would compensate for lack of player skill.
08:25:11 syv: Sure, it'd probably mean that the char should be able to quickly figure out that smashing the glass ties on the clay people killed them, but then that's the GM offering the player the solution arbitrarily. I hate that.
08:25:59 syv: Yeah. You can wish for things that should put your char more on autopilot, but they won't work that way because fuck that why are you even playing?
08:26:22 Devastator: ..I would certainly not use it for autopilot.
08:26:36 Devastator: ..although I would definately want to use it when I simply am drawing blanks, though.
08:27:21 syv: Probably me being a poor GM, but if all players are drawing blanks I'd rather they just die.
08:28:08 Devastator: ..Ideally I wouldn't have to be the only one drawing cards, turn after turn after turn..
08:30:06 syv: Meh. If I can actually get things moving again, you'll have at least two more clever people. Though Egan's cleverness can be... rather self destructive.
08:30:13 Devastator: I'd probably estimate my usage to be 90% to learn skills, and 10% to do something like 'experiment with this bit of metal to pick the lock on this door.'
08:30:29 syv: Plus RGU, who is certainly still better than either of the leaving players.
08:30:30 Devastator: the results would probably be 50% learning about bizarre deviancies, and 40% fluff. ;-p
08:31:46 syv: I like RGU, though I'm not really sure how creative a player he is.
08:33:10 syv: ...Where would Twin and Nak fall on that scale?
08:33:25 syv: Your "average" can be rather stilted at times.
08:33:30 Devastator: Nak's got some creativity, but is pretty much bottom of the scale in determination.
08:34:00 Devastator: Twin I'd put at very low and less determination than RGU.
08:34:30 Devastator: I am disappointed in RGU punting now, but I think it's just mixing fear with a multi-year decision.
08:34:57 Devastator: I'd love to have RGU on here just so I can make dumb jokes and fire stupid wishes to give a better impression of it not really mattering much.
08:41:17 syv: Played a bit more of blind DaS a couple days ago. Killed Sif, and got to the Duke's Archives bonfire.
08:41:52 syv: Darkroot forest is just hellish when blind, and everything in Duke's is terrifying, especially with aggro.
08:47:22 Devastator: Still can't understand how you could possible manage that.
08:49:28 syv: Memorized enemy positions, movesets, and sounds. Aggro scrambles the first, but I still know the order, and I've memorized most of the levels... though big rooms with ceilings still screw me up. And Darkroot, since the sky is the same color as the ground, and the trees all look the same.
08:50:02 Devastator: Yeah, just.. insane.
08:50:10 Devastator: I can't get how you can keep that straight.
08:50:32 syv: Need a better weapon than the Halberd, though. Poking is just terrible when I can't lockon of see more than five feet.
08:50:57 Devastator: Isn't poking the only way to see more than five feet?
08:51:19 syv: In a manner of speaking, if it hits.
08:51:56 syv: Throwing fireballs also works, and prism stones have niche uses. I dropped like thirty prism stones around Sif's arena before fighting him, so I'd have orientation.
08:52:29 Devastator: How is the Butterfly fight?
08:53:12 syv: I don't recall, think I streamed it. Butterfly is dead in any case.
08:53:52 syv: Butterfly should be the least affected, since its projectiles glow, and its wings have sparkles. Plus midroll gives you ridiculous immunity frames in that fight.
08:55:08 syv: Sif was also made substantially easier because his sword glows, so I could kinda see what he was doing and where he was.
08:55:19 syv: If I hadn't been midrolling I might've been able to do it flawless.
08:56:25 syv: No idea what I'll do for Artorias. Just tank and trade, I guess.
09:01:59 Devastator: anyway, should go slp.
09:02:26 syv: Dinosaurs and motorcycles, all that awesome stuff.
09:02:58 Devastator: Oddly, motorcycles are pretty common, despite me never actually riding them.
