00:38:51 Devastator: 'lo
00:38:54 Devastator: heya Piecewise.
00:38:58 Piecewise: hello
00:39:13 Piecewise: whats up?
00:39:55 Devastator: Not much.
00:39:59 Devastator: I see syv updated PS.
00:40:10 Piecewise: the biannual update
00:40:14 Devastator: taking tomorrow off so I only have to work 9 out of the next 10 dayas.
00:40:19 Devastator: It's a big stonking one.
00:40:35 Piecewise: he probably worked on it for a long time
00:41:44 Devastator: Yeah.
00:41:46 Devastator: read it?
00:41:54 Piecewise: have not
00:46:52 Devastator: mmm.
00:47:14 Devastator: oh, kinda did want to pump them up a bit in Cabal, while the ultra-sugar buff was running.
00:47:23 Devastator: I suppose I can leave that to the day of the attack instead.
00:59:49 Devastator: Hmm.
01:00:13 Devastator: Should I let naturegirl know that the spirit only wants to see a gold ring to provide mana?]
01:00:19 Devastator: or will it eat it and vanish?
01:00:30 Devastator: either way, a fancy word for aluminum probably means it's valuable on tier with gold..
01:04:20 Devastator: Piecewise?
01:04:38 Piecewise: yeah
01:04:41 Piecewise: lemme...
01:05:00 Devastator: don't want to give bad advice.
01:05:01 Piecewise: Wait till the day of
01:05:06 Devastator: ok.
01:05:12 Devastator: I'd gladly pay for it, but she really should ask that.
01:05:19 Piecewise: yeah you can tell her
01:05:28 Devastator: Oh, and talked with syv.
01:05:34 Devastator: we're converting the gyrotoubillion.
01:05:51 Devastator: and splitting the resulting mana 50-50.
01:07:39 Piecewise: Okie dokie
01:07:47 Piecewise: he might change that after seeing his stuff
01:08:48 Devastator: Doubt it, but not impossible.
01:08:52 Devastator: Looking at his stuff..
01:09:18 Devastator: skull isn't trivial but the pile of dead bodies should suffice for that.
01:09:38 Devastator: pure iron is very difficult to make and pretty useless. Probably have to summon it with a steel word.
01:09:56 Devastator: clockwork could be the gyrotoubillion, but so would a machinegun.
01:10:09 Devastator: could probably duplicate something with expand, really.
01:10:22 Devastator: water collected from cloud, giant bird, doable.
01:10:28 Devastator: blood, well, there will be someone locally.
01:10:54 Devastator: Pretty good rolls, but it doesn't matter how many words you have if you don't have any mana to spend with it.
01:14:43 Piecewise: Can you guess the words he'll get?
01:16:12 Devastator: He reads this, so I'll PM my guesses.
01:17:53 Piecewise: I mean they're just guesses, I'm not gonna confirm or deny
01:18:46 Devastator: Eh, mostly want that number so I can say how many spells to attempt the day before.
01:19:03 Devastator: I gotta make a view-blocker.
01:19:31 Devastator: other than that, have to decide if to make a healing item, if to make Bouncer Ape, etcetera.
01:29:09 Devastator: Heh.
01:29:15 Devastator: How bad is the crash from ultra-sugar?
01:29:20 Devastator: (letting a day pass.)
01:35:17 Piecewise: I mean, its probably not great
01:35:37 Piecewise: not like detox but probably end up pretty sleepy with a head ache
01:36:28 Devastator: mmm.
01:36:34 Devastator: does that happen with normal temp buffs?
01:37:02 Piecewise: No, magic generally doesn't have a low. Just returns to normal
01:37:10 Devastator: Hangover badness is good to know if I get into drug dealing, which seems likely after converting the gyrotoubillion, as I'll need some money to feed my bird habit.
01:38:06 Piecewise: the struggles of a mythical beast owner
01:39:18 Devastator: I gotta find someone else to test the result of a 'grows forever' spell.
01:39:26 Devastator: ie, someone not me.
01:39:50 Piecewise: Have you considered a random passerby
01:40:20 Devastator: "Oh look, stray cat" sort of thing?
01:40:23 Devastator: or AoT sort of thing?
01:41:13 Devastator: eh, maybe one of these mercs has more money than brains and I'd get paid for that.
01:43:51 Devastator: Also, kinda the reverse of a normal drug habit.
01:44:04 Devastator: instead of selling everything to buy drugs, selling drugs to buy birb.
01:45:02 Piecewise: birb is a heck of a drug
01:51:25 Devastator: apparently, yes.
02:07:20 Devastator: Also, decided on where to put those two guys. I'll recommend OC healer to go with the capture squad, because someone is going to need mundane healing, and syv to go with the smoke crews, because animated smoke/fire monsters would be useful.
02:12:12 Devastator: Ugh.
02:12:18 Devastator: wording the anti-view spell is tricky.
02:12:35 Devastator: I think it would count as a sensory illusion spell to make a hiding bubble, or is it a kno spell because it's blocking views inside?
02:15:16 Devastator: Hmm.
02:15:28 Devastator: Yeah, have to be multiple spells.
02:15:37 Devastator: oh, I know what to do..
02:21:06 Piecewise: I told my girlfriend about you selling drugs to feed the birb and she suggested simply feeding the bird on drugs
02:21:38 Devastator: That's certainly a possibility.
02:21:52 Devastator: Probably be a cheaper way to make it grow when bigger is desired. Or shrink if it's costing too much.
02:23:00 Devastator: Cheaper buffs, too.
02:23:12 Devastator: I mean, I got 80 doses out of a d8 spell just then, much more efficient.
02:24:02 Devastator: I could also just summon apes or turkeys or something for it to eat.
02:24:12 Devastator: but 1 gold/day is cheaper than like 2.5 mana a day.
02:30:34 Piecewise: cast the infinite grow on him and then he can just never eat because he's infinitely growing
02:32:47 Devastator: ..That seems like a pretty generous interpretation.
02:33:21 Devastator: Would that actually work? Because I could probably stand with him growing slightly over time if it means I don't have to feed him.. I can always cast a reverse one to shrink him down every month or so.
02:33:53 Devastator: or just cast it on the inside of his stomach, so when he eats stuff it gets bigger, until he eventually digests it.
02:34:01 Devastator: cut down the cost significantly.
02:34:07 Devastator: Or explodes, whatever.
02:36:08 Devastator: Also posted my complex orders. Can you let me know if that works?
02:36:34 Devastator: making the hiding spell by enchanting an umbrella with reverse-view to make it protect from sight as well as rain.
02:36:46 Devastator: and using an expand spell to make it cover more than just what's under the umbrella.
02:37:21 Devastator: Also making a very weak healing necklace intended to help badly mistreated people not die during or after the evacuation.
02:45:53 Devastator: Wait.. you just want me to make the world a fleshhorror.
02:46:02 Devastator: That's it, isn't it?
02:47:00 Piecewise: I mean
02:47:07 Piecewise: I'm fine either way
02:48:12 Devastator: In truth I could live with it, but if I've got to deal with something infinitely growing, it would be a Grow Strengthen spell not a Grow spell. Leave that one for other people.
02:48:27 Devastator: Also makes me wonder if that does work why nobody else got both those words together before.
02:48:39 Devastator: unless it's why Telcal does his thing.
03:07:34 Devastator: ..Ahh, I don't want to kill the world.
03:07:35 Devastator: sorry.
03:18:26 Piecewise: An interesting phrase
03:45:01 Devastator: hnn?
04:02:55 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:03:10 syv: Go ahead Devastator. Kill the world. It's in your name.
04:04:29 ChanServ changed topic of #einsteinianroulette to: ER should get better soon!
04:07:19 syv: Those sculpture mats are kinda wow for my position.
04:08:16 syv: Piecewise, would collecting water from rain count as "directly from a cloud", or would I have to actually fly up to a cloud and harvest water from it?
04:08:24 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:08:28 MidJag: lo
04:08:31 Piecewise: fly up
04:08:36 Piecewise: you have access to a birb
04:09:54 syv: Yup. Really lucky there.
04:09:57 syv: Hi, MJ.
04:10:02 MidJag: sup?
04:10:08 syv: Ceiling.
04:10:49 syv: Reading Cabal, got my sculpture mats, and they're all pretty easy to get *specifically* because I'm allied with Dev's char.
04:11:16 MidJag: for a second I read that as mats used to make a scultpure with an was very confused.
04:11:34 syv: Mats as in materials used to make a sculpture.
04:11:55 MidJag: Right, not like a mat you place under a sculpture
04:12:01 syv: Heh.
04:12:11 syv: How busy are you tonight?
04:12:25 MidJag: Not really busy, just sick.
04:12:41 syv: Ohh, did you catch Egan's sickness over the internet
04:12:44 syv: ?
04:12:51 MidJag: Seeminglly yes.
04:13:00 syv: IRCs can be festering hives of disease.
04:13:44 syv: Anything I can do?
04:15:22 MidJag: Eh, I'
04:15:35 MidJag: m getting better, antibitoics seem to be helping.
04:16:12 MidJag: So I hear that PS updated.
04:16:25 syv: Ah, yeah, those are way more helpful than me. At most, I'm an antigasp.
04:16:27 syv: It did.
04:16:33 MidJag: Good to hear.
04:16:55 Piecewise: Midjag with Ebola: I am getting stronger every day
04:17:23 syv: Well yeah, his humors are out of whack, he's got waaay too much blood.
04:17:49 MidJag: Yeah, my phrenology is way out of wack~
04:18:20 Piecewise: I wonder what a phrenologist would say about encephalopathy
04:18:36 MidJag: Probably just run away screaming about demons or something.
04:19:07 syv: I'd assume they'd just consider it, like, early detection?
04:19:16 Piecewise: or hydrocephalus
04:19:40 syv: >Leeches
04:19:55 syv: Applied directly to the forehead
04:20:09 Piecewise: http://i.imgur.com/uIAy2yh.jpg
04:20:17 Piecewise: Ack Ack Ack
04:20:25 Piecewise: who drew on eyebrows
04:20:30 Piecewise: you're not helping
04:21:01 syv: Jesus. That baby's head looks like it would go great with some bacon and lettuce.
04:21:03 MidJag: Jeez.
04:21:16 syv: Which would just be lettuce, I guess, since it's a human.
04:21:29 syv: Presumably a human.
04:21:45 Piecewise: I think it might have evolved beyond us
04:22:04 Piecewise: AND THIS IS TO GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!
04:22:10 syv: But yeah, I think a phrenologist would look at that and go "Yes Ma'am, I do believe there is a problem with your baby."
04:22:30 Piecewise: This one is defective
04:22:36 Piecewise: request a refund
04:22:55 Piecewise: hope you kept the receipt
04:23:04 Piecewise: Watched in the mouth of madness again today
04:23:08 Piecewise: good movie
04:23:17 syv: Ohh, I've been meaning to watch that.
04:23:19 MidJag: So I was reading that apperently in a fertility clinic there was a mixup and a couple gave birth to the wrong baby.
04:23:26 syv: Seems like a good film for IRC?
04:23:53 Piecewise: We could watch it some time if you jerks will ever be on at a reasonable time
04:24:22 MidJag: Depends on the day but I'll probably be free.
04:24:26 MidJag: ....Wait.
04:24:34 syv: "Whoops. While performing the c-section, we somehow actually put a different baby in, and you're gonna have to give birth to that one. Sorry, butterfingers!"
04:26:09 syv: I'm pretty steady with my sched, though it'll have to be after midnight EST if it's this week. It's currently 0025 EST. ER's usually open if he has a warning, and Dev I presume will just have to give his work sched, he did say he's working a lot in the near future. MJ's always the hard one.
04:26:15 MidJag: So what's in the mouth of madness?
04:26:38 Piecewise: Sam Neill is trapped in a steven king/lovecraft story
04:26:44 MidJag: Sounds neat.
04:27:04 MidJag: Who is Sam neil?
04:27:08 Piecewise: its is
04:27:14 syv: The protagonist, I assume.
04:27:18 Piecewise: You know sam neill
04:27:24 Piecewise: he was in event horizon
04:27:29 MidJag: Ah
04:27:30 Piecewise: Jurassic park
04:27:47 syv: Oh, I've seen that one. Which one was he? The chaos theory dude?
04:28:05 MidJag: Nah that's Mark Goldbum or something.
04:28:22 syv: Fat hacker that gets everyone killed?
04:28:28 syv: "Clever girl"?
04:28:35 MidJag: I think he's clever girl guy
04:28:45 MidJag: Right dubs?
04:28:46 syv: Protagonisty archeologist guy?
04:29:15 syv: Ohhh, I hope it's clever girl guy. He had a SPAS, pretty sure!
04:29:25 Piecewise: He was the scientist guy in event horizon
04:29:37 Piecewise: protag archeologist in the first jurassic park
04:29:56 Piecewise: http://www.jurassicworld.com/sites/default/files/2016-10/samneill_mainimage.jpg
04:30:00 MidJag: Oh right, he's knockoff indinana jones
04:30:01 Piecewise: that guy
04:30:38 Piecewise: have a movie clip
04:30:39 Piecewise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVJTAHvdD2E
04:31:16 MidJag: oh yeah, we are watching this sometime.
04:31:30 MidJag: This looks amazing
04:32:07 Piecewise: that guy has a good voice
04:32:12 Piecewise: an odd voice
04:32:13 MidJag: for sure.
04:32:14 syv: I'll put it on the list of stuff we won't ever watch because you're never here, then~
04:32:34 MidJag: I'm here sometimes, I just need forewarning to not completly flake.
04:33:20 syv: Shush, you're never here. You're not even here right now. You're just dreaming about it, during an OChem test that you fell asleep while taking.
04:33:35 syv: You have to WAKE UP before you fail
04:33:37 Piecewise: In the mouth of madness and...prince of darkness I think the other one is.
04:33:47 MidJag: honestlly this all being some weird fever dream would not suprise me.
04:34:00 Piecewise: the "Apocalypse trilogy" of john carpenter
04:34:05 syv: !
04:34:07 Piecewise: along with "the thing"
04:34:19 syv: John Carpenter did itMoM?
04:34:23 Piecewise: yep
04:34:25 syv: WELP.
04:35:27 MidJag: I'm gonna not be here next week at all though. Family vacation.
04:36:32 syv: Well that makes the scheduling easier for me.
04:36:48 MidJag: Cool.
04:37:04 syv: The pinned comment on that video is a completely random comment about a man having sex with a girl and hoping that she's not pregnant.
04:37:19 Piecewise: I noticed that
04:37:46 syv: Is it a reference, or just... a random bit of weirdness?
04:37:55 Piecewise: random as far as I know
04:37:59 Piecewise: not from the movie
04:38:25 MidJag: Strange.
04:38:34 syv: Sad that he didn't give any updates in the comments.
04:39:51 MidJag: Perhaps he realized that day after birth control existed?
04:40:02 Piecewise: Fun fact, the actor who played the villain in ghost busters 2 is in the movie
04:40:09 Piecewise: playing a rural american farmer
04:40:16 Piecewise: which is very funny
04:40:18 MidJag: I don't think I've ever seen the sequel.
04:40:24 MidJag: Actually
04:41:13 Piecewise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP2JPwbtq0g
04:41:25 Piecewise: that is from ghost buster's 2
04:41:44 Piecewise: imagine him as a man in overalls
04:41:56 MidJag: hahaha
04:42:09 MidJag: That's great.
04:42:35 MidJag: Is ghost busters 2 any good?
04:43:10 Piecewise: Its not as good as the first one but I think its still a pretty good movie
04:44:44 MidJag: Hmm, fair enough
04:44:58 Piecewise: One movie I've been meaning to see is "Nothing but trouble"
04:45:08 Piecewise: which is supposed to be just...a beautiful mess
04:45:08 MidJag: Has anyone seen the reboot? I heard it was bad, but I've always wondered how bad.
04:45:20 Piecewise: I saw about half of it
04:45:28 MidJag: that bad?
04:46:05 Piecewise: So here's the thing. Movies are an inverted bell curve
04:46:21 Piecewise: If they're good they're enjoyable, if they're really bad they're enjoyable
04:46:48 Piecewise: it is dead center, completely boring, unfunny, and forgettable
04:47:01 Piecewise: not bad enough to be interesting
04:47:16 Piecewise: just...slow and very bloated with unfunny improvisation
04:47:26 MidJag: Ah, the worst kind.
04:47:34 Piecewise: and basically just a beat for beat remake of the first movie...but with far less skill
04:47:49 MidJag: That does sound horrible.
04:48:15 Piecewise: It would have been completely ignored if sony didn't try to turn it into some huge feminist rallying point
04:48:27 Piecewise: which was great marketing on their part, gotta say
04:49:35 Piecewise: Oh and the villain is a fanboy stereotype and they defeat staypuff by shooting him in the dick
04:50:03 Piecewise: so, I got no idea what they thought they were doing but it seems to have been a bad idea all around
04:50:18 MidJag: Sounds like it.
04:50:28 Piecewise: best part is sony was trying to turn ghost busters into a cinematic universe, like marvel
04:50:39 Piecewise: and this movie fucking murdered that
04:50:48 Piecewise: for the best honestly
04:51:05 MidJag: Yeah.
04:51:48 Piecewise: I'm going to bed. I'll see you guys later. If you need a source for those movies, lemme know and I'll upload them
04:52:01 Piecewise is now known as sleepwise
04:52:09 MidJag: night dubs
04:55:27 syv: Mm.
04:55:34 MidJag: mm?
04:55:42 syv: Bored now.
04:57:42 MidJag: I found an enteringlny vulgar band that parodys a bunch of hair metal sterotypes.
04:57:49 syv: :\
05:00:21 MidJag: hmm, yeah, I've got nothing for the energy for.
05:00:50 MidJag: .....like typing clearlly, because that was nigh incomrphebsinble, when I think about it
05:01:08 syv: Eh, I understood it clearly.
05:01:26 MidJag: I think you've just been around my typing for too long~
05:22:49 MidJag: Hmm, I think I might just go to bed.
05:24:15 MidJag: Night
05:24:18 MidJag has left #einsteinianroulette
05:47:19 Devastator has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
05:47:50 Devastator has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:30:52 Devastator: heya syv.
06:33:16 syv: heya dev.
06:34:46 syv: Been watching ARMA videos. First Dslyecxi, who of course id awesome, then some idiot who doesn't know the first thing about sniping, but thinks he's great because he can (sometimes) hit shots at 1000m with a scope zeroed to 1000m.
06:35:11 syv: Cabal?
06:36:10 Devastator: ??
06:36:45 syv: Cabal updated, I'd assume you'd have stuff to say.
06:36:47 Devastator: I did read how your mats are suprisingly compatable with your situation.
06:36:49 Devastator: Yes.
06:37:26 Devastator: Do you think smoke monster would be the right position?
06:37:48 syv: Not sure what you mean by "right position", but animating smoke did sound effective.
06:38:29 Devastator: well, you'd have to describe.
06:38:40 Devastator: and animating smoke means you have to be in one particular position.
06:38:51 Devastator: Also not the one where my character will be.
06:39:01 syv: Ahh, yes.
06:39:10 syv: Yeah, with the smoke team sounds like a good place.
06:42:10 Devastator: Also need some direct orders to convert that gryothingy.
06:42:23 syv: Yup, I know.
06:42:47 syv: Was intending to talk with you before posting.
06:43:00 Devastator: ok.
06:43:03 Devastator: any advice you have?
06:43:39 Devastator: I will agree to pay 2:1 for your cash if you donate some.
06:43:42 syv: Nope.
06:44:15 syv: Heh, I'm fine with that OOC, but Ekrov would be *very* reluctant. That's too good a deal to trust, and he'd know it. :P
06:45:46 syv: I suppose since we're not really doing things IC, I should mention thzt Ekrov would *really* want to know about where the gyrotourbillon was gotten, and if he'd have the opportunity to obtain some other clockwork like it. Or purchase a machine gun, or something like that.
06:46:03 Devastator: I'd be ok with telling you IC.
06:46:07 Devastator: it's not a secret.
06:46:16 syv: Also, do you have stats for the MGs?
06:47:13 Devastator: Nope.
06:47:21 Devastator: but they cut through a mature tree when I test-fired one earlier.
06:47:25 syv: Hrm.
06:47:37 syv: You figure that's d10+?
06:47:46 Devastator: Could be.
06:47:51 Devastator: wouldn't be unreasonable.
06:47:54 Devastator: maybe even d12.
06:49:50 syv: Hmm.
06:50:11 syv: How much money does Saeko want?
06:51:43 Devastator: For that purposes? As much as you're willing to give.
06:51:58 syv: Hahaha.
06:51:59 Devastator: 200 gold would be great.
06:52:00 Devastator: sorry.
06:52:16 syv: Just, IC, if that were said, that'd be such a huge alarm bell.
06:52:34 Devastator: probably at least 40 gold, which would up the pay one gold for each mercenary.
06:52:54 Devastator: "Hey, let me give you this hugely valuable contraption to turn into mana."
06:52:59 syv: It's a pity we skipped the actual introduction.
06:53:53 Devastator: Yeah.
06:54:04 Devastator: it's probably involve a hug.
06:54:07 Devastator: she's pretty huggy.
06:54:13 Devastator: (even when not mana draining.)
06:55:10 syv: See, that's more reasonable because Ekrov can't reasonably steal it, and would immediately pay back the results. At most he could lie about the result and underpay. "Give me all your money now, I'll pay you back twice as much later, because I'm gonna get filthy rich dungeon-diving after this." "How much are you confident that you can pay back?" "As much as I need to! 400 gold would be easy, despite that being filthy rich even for nobility.
06:55:36 syv: Thaaat's not something to trust, even if you don't think the person is lying.
06:55:39 Devastator: To be fair I did see two guys with like 2000 gold earlier.
06:55:42 Devastator: but understandable.
06:55:51 Devastator: and am handing over an item probably worth 200 gold.
06:56:09 Devastator: Plus catbird makes your sculpture a lot easier.
06:56:37 syv: Yup. In Ekrov's eyes, if anyone could make that deal honestly, it's obviously Saeko. But he's also smart, and realizes there's bad signs there.
06:57:00 syv: He'll still make it, dom't worry. I just find it amusing.
06:57:42 syv: Mind if I write that agreement out, with Saeko answering Ekrov as you answered?
06:57:51 Devastator: ok.
06:57:59 Devastator: Sure. Can also post if you want RP.
06:58:03 Devastator: or a saeko-hug.
06:58:44 syv: How tall is she, again? Six foot or something?
06:59:53 Devastator: 5' 4"
07:00:11 Devastator: started out really short, used a small grow once.
07:00:23 syv: Oh. Huh. I thought she became enormous due to str buffs or something.
07:00:33 syv: Maybe that was just jokes that I'm mis-remembering.
07:00:38 syv: ...Or Nan.
07:00:47 Devastator: Nan wasn't that tall either.
07:00:54 Devastator: probably would have gotten that tall eventually.
07:01:05 Devastator: She would have been taller than that, though.
07:07:01 Devastator: ..also, I think Saeko only has d6 str, so super-tall wouldn't be appropriate.
07:07:29 syv: Would it be reasonable to ask to be guided to the clockwork ship's crash site? To my understanding that's where you got all the clockwork, and there should still be more there.
07:08:11 Devastator: Yeah, np.
07:08:20 Devastator: but not right now, busy.
07:08:34 Devastator: Also, that request isn't worth 400 gold.
07:09:24 syv: Oh, I know.
07:10:03 syv: I just wasn't sure it was actually something that *could* be done, maybe you'd already sold the location to scrappers or something.
07:11:05 Devastator: It'll be discovered by not.
07:11:06 Devastator: now.
07:11:16 Devastator: it's been several days, and was a pretty obvious crash.
07:12:23 syv: Posted RP, will edit boldtext in.
07:13:29 Devastator: "visibly uncomfortable in Saeko's presence,"
07:13:38 syv: Well yeah.
07:13:41 Devastator: You just want to recreate Coven, don't you? ;-p
07:13:48 syv: Eh?
07:14:00 syv: Ekrov is nothing like Ben, at all.
07:14:09 Devastator: I remember you planning on asking NJW if she was starting to affect teammates, should more updates happen. ;-p
07:14:29 syv: Yes, but Ben was never interested in Nanami.
07:15:00 Devastator: ahh.
07:15:01 syv: I was more using that as an excuse for why he was still working with the group, and going along with Nanami's plan. IC, it mostly made little sense otherwise.
07:15:15 Devastator: Mmm.
07:15:22 Devastator: I did keep paying you in guns.
07:15:41 syv: "Nanami is intelligent, charismatic, and a powerful person who needs protection"? That works as a motivation, and is a very reasonable perception if her glamours affected her allies.
07:16:14 Devastator: ok, makes sense that.
07:16:34 syv: As I recall, the one or two guns he was actually bought were temporary deals. His P90 he bought, and the Minimi he considered his own trophy, though it was more Nan's success that actually obtained it. Recall, insanity, he didn't know her magic saved the day.
07:17:02 syv: ...Though actually I think the crystal was killed by ER's char, with Ben's gun.
07:17:51 Devastator: Yeah, think so.
07:17:54 Devastator: something like that.
07:18:02 Devastator: Nan didn't do that much that mission.
07:18:13 Devastator: other than find it and get everyone there.
07:18:59 Devastator: Next one she kept from being a TPK by disposing of the bomb truck.
07:19:09 Devastator: or something like that to ben.
07:20:03 syv: ...Ben was fun. I fondly remember writing him holding the hotel check-in lady at gunpoint, while lecturing her on propreity. And then a ninja attacked him from under her desk, he killed the ninja, and just started lecturing the lady even more, about how disappointed he was in the modern generation.
07:20:13 syv: I forget if he ended up shooting her after all that.
07:20:31 Devastator: dunno.
07:20:34 Devastator: don't remember.
07:20:42 Devastator: I wish NJW continued that game.
07:20:48 Devastator: was a lot of fun.
07:20:49 syv: Same.
07:20:55 Devastator: oh well, that's how things go.
07:21:04 Devastator: I did want the nazi-shooting mission.
07:22:39 syv: Oh very much so.
07:22:48 syv: That would've been a climax of the game.
07:24:38 Devastator: Hey, Nan could have maybe slept with something non-human. That would have been the climax, so to speak. ;-p
07:24:55 syv: :P
07:24:55 Devastator: I think we were pretty much ready for nazi-shooting, too.
07:25:10 syv: Yeah, it was only a couple more turns IIRC.
07:25:57 Devastator: Speaking of sleeping with things non-human, I'm ready for Prequel to update.
07:26:26 syv: Indeed. He had a pretty decent pace going for a little while.
07:27:49 Devastator: posted RP.
07:27:58 Devastator: Saeko doesn't have the best intelligence, either.
07:28:16 syv: Hmm. Last fanartbooru post was... four hours ago.
07:28:18 Devastator: Nan would have been precise and intelligent, but Saeko's just pretty average.
07:28:27 Devastator: The fans, they don't give up.
07:33:14 Devastator: Also, that 200 gold donation will probably mean I'll try for a hug or two from them in this turn too.
07:33:23 Devastator: so.. it'll be worth it, thanks.
07:33:30 syv shrugs
07:34:11 syv: OOC, the money's not worth anything unless I can directly spend it on benefits. Donating it to you, with the benefit of later payment and RP fun, is kind've a no-brainer.
07:35:31 Devastator: Yeah, makes sense to do it.
07:35:40 Devastator: and it will pay off, should we pull this off.
07:36:10 Devastator: I mean, there's absolutely going to be more than 400 gold worth of loot, and probably even better because Saeko's going to sort out the buyer and sponsors before going off.
07:36:28 Devastator: RC had a really hard time with that platinum bar, for instance, because it was too valuable.
07:38:50 Devastator: Plus you'll have an inside line on someone who'll have far more mana and a really strong array of buffing spells.
07:40:03 Devastator: I'm willing to do one up-front, too, for the record.
07:40:50 syv: Hm. Being an alchemist means that you don't have any issues with items top valuable to sell.
07:41:09 syv: Though I thought Radio or Pan was an alch. :\
07:41:39 syv: Wonder if Kno will help with finding rich buyers for things. Would make sense, given Ekrov's background.
07:42:58 Devastator: It was too valuable for mana, too.
07:43:06 Devastator: Probably some of that, probably some senses, probably some will.
07:43:33 Devastator: I think they were balking at turning it into like 200 mana too, so cut off some to turn into mana, and then sold the rest.
07:46:16 syv: Jesus
07:46:25 syv: Why WOULDN'T you just turn that into 200 mana?
07:46:37 syv: That's a mountain of statboosts
07:48:23 Devastator: Because they already had a shitload of mana from the huge pile of jade they were turning into mana.
07:48:28 Devastator: and spent it on staboosts.
07:49:09 Devastator: I mean, look at Pan's character sheet:
07:49:11 Devastator: Strength: d10+2
07:49:12 Devastator: Speed: d10+1
07:49:14 Devastator: Endurance: d8+1
07:49:15 Devastator: Knowledge: d4
07:49:17 Devastator: Will: d6+1
07:49:18 Devastator: Senses: d6+1
07:49:38 syv: ...Fair point.
07:49:45 syv: Still.
07:50:39 syv: Suddenly have a vauge desire to kill them just for being the biggest available targets.
07:50:55 Devastator: You have a chance.
07:50:58 Devastator: they're in the dungeon atm.
07:51:28 Devastator: Pan's currently MCed, and RC's trying to make thaum, which takes a while, while getting close to having an anti-detection spell wear off or bugs stumble onto him.
07:51:36 syv: Naaah. Cabal isn't really a proper PvP game.
07:52:27 Devastator: it was intended to be one.
07:52:38 syv: Sure.
07:52:43 Devastator: I also mean by chance 'it's quite possible they'll be opfor'
07:52:55 syv: I imagine Piecewise *tends* to intend his games to be balanced, too~
07:53:27 Devastator: this one ended up ok.
07:53:35 syv: Oh yes.
07:53:57 syv: It's excellent. I just don't consider it great for PvP, it's great PvE tho
07:57:13 Devastator: True.
07:57:21 Devastator: I can't find it being temporary, so it's probably permanent.
07:57:41 Devastator: although being permanently not-noticeable to bug senses is an interesting spell.
07:57:54 Devastator: I could probably make someone not-noticeable to humans that way. Or more noticeable.
08:00:04 syv: RP posted.
08:00:45 Devastator: ok.
08:00:51 Devastator: so you don't want to convert the gyro, I take it?
08:00:57 syv: Whe?
08:01:02 Devastator: (I know OOC you want to do sketches, right?)
08:01:10 Devastator: Eh, just how it's coming across. You wanted to, but..
08:01:11 syv: No, no, of course I do, I'm just having it drawn first.
08:01:19 Devastator: no problem with that.
08:01:34 syv: Ekrov keeps looking at it because he's shy around Saeko and is trying to look at anything else.
08:02:12 syv: I don't like writing character emotions beyond what is actually visible, sorry.
08:05:21 Devastator: ok makes sense.
08:05:37 Devastator: Saeko should be able to tell, though, having quite good will and being an extroverted empath.
08:08:28 Devastator: posted.
08:08:33 syv: And here I was thinking I was writing it too heavily. ;P
08:08:39 Devastator: it's fine.
08:08:51 Devastator: I can ask you and be sure to get it right.
08:17:47 syv: Hmm.
08:18:29 syv: Would it be reasonable to make a piece of d4 enchanted armor which could be further improved once he has d6 end?
08:21:11 Devastator: That'd be fine. It's a d6 spell to do that, IIRC, and about what I was thinking if you let her do that herself.
08:21:17 Devastator: ie, make up her mind about what to give you.
08:21:42 syv: Yup.
08:23:03 Devastator: although she'd just buff your str instead.
08:23:11 Devastator: or end.
08:24:26 syv: RP post.
08:36:18 Devastator: Posted.
08:36:30 Devastator: Also, since you said to conserve mana, my orders are to not retry if it fails.
08:36:34 Devastator: odds of success are 5/6.
08:41:09 syv: Posted.
08:57:18 syv: https://www.prequeladventure.com/fanartbooru/post/view/6212
08:58:25 Devastator: ok.
08:58:28 Devastator: what am I looking at?
08:59:50 syv: An expression that I found particularly amusing among the fanart booru posts.
09:01:07 Devastator: Yes.
09:01:12 Devastator: relevant to other fanarts, of course.
09:01:30 syv: Very much so.
09:12:29 syv: https://www.prequeladventure.com/fanartbooru/post/view/6152
09:13:58 Devastator: God, fuck skyrim.
09:14:20 syv: ...Well yes, but the comic is still adorable.
09:14:49 Devastator: Yeah.
09:14:56 Devastator: but fuck skyrim, what a shitty game.
09:15:28 syv: I had fun with Skyrim. It was awesome to summon several hundred cheese wheels via the console, and drop them off a mountainside.
09:16:06 syv: They'd spread everywhere, some would hit cliffs and go flying off in streams like it was a ramp launching water. 'Twas awesome.
09:16:15 syv: Actual game sucked though, yeah.
09:16:26 Devastator: Heh.
09:16:39 Devastator: Ran a LP of it for a year.
09:17:00 Devastator: It was about Cat-Dude, the guy who never earned experience or used shouts, because there are no dragons in Tamriel.
09:17:08 Devastator: his version of the plot made more sense.
09:17:12 syv: I recall you mentioning this, yes.
09:17:25 syv: Well yeah, the dragons didn't really matter.
09:18:29 syv: I recall someone on Bay12 justifying their "apocolyptic" nature despite their weakness as being becauss they were demonic rats that just kept coming back. If wolves start killing cattle, you exterminate the wolves. Dragons? You exterminate the dragons and they're back the next day.
09:18:29 Devastator: Well, other stuff too.
09:19:04 Devastator: Sneaking into the mage guild building via the sewers so the door was left locked was fun.
09:19:23 Devastator: getting inside set several of the NPCs to try to move through said closed door, without opening the door.
09:21:08 Devastator: Other fun was deciding to refuse werewolfism due to it probably being a bad idea to steal power from the god of nature while in a secret shrine under a forge in the oldest city in the region. Not to mention the tactical stupidity of doing such immediately before going to fight werewolf hunters.
09:21:26 Devastator: "You're not servants of that god. You're probably usurpers!"
09:21:58 syv shrugs
09:23:01 Devastator: Well, it canonically was wrong, but it's a defensable idea.
09:23:27 Devastator: the amusing part was how, of course, there's no refusal option in the speech so I had to exit the thing by hitting one of the guys.
09:24:03 Devastator: after which I then discovered that the guards won't trigger upon him attacking you, which was fun.
09:24:08 Devastator: or you attacking him.
09:24:14 Devastator: so ran around a lot.
09:24:38 Devastator: eventually I ran into the throne room where the reward NPC (who was just standing there due to me not engaging her in conversation) engaged him, and kicked his ass.
09:25:49 syv: The "sworn to carry your burdens" girl?
09:26:05 Devastator: I forget. I didn't talk to her, so I don't know who she was.
09:28:16 Devastator: I also had fun with the quest that triggers when you enter Markarth, the one where the guy stabs someone in front of you.
09:29:11 Devastator: Through various shenanigans I got the quest to slip a few gears, and ended up in the part where you're supposed to be thrown into jail. There were three or four attackers behind me, firing spells and attacks and what not, and in the shrine in the middle is a dead guy and the crooked guard who is supposed to arrest you.
09:29:33 Devastator: However, he wasn't properly scripted for some reason and just moved towards me.. to give his default greeting text.
09:29:58 Devastator: Presumably because I'd managed to skip a few steps and avoided ever talking to him too.
09:30:53 Devastator: or maybe it was not killing the attackers earlier. I ended up punching them to death in front of him, and then looting the corpse.
09:31:17 Devastator: That was fun because it was an extremely rare thing in the game.. a corpse that didn't have it's inventory cleared before dying, so I could take that guy's clothes and 850 gold.
09:31:50 Devastator: normally almost all NPCs are immortal, and those that aren't have most of the stuff they're carrying around not lootable or missing.
09:32:51 Devastator: That was where I quit the LP. There was basically nothing else that I could break from then on in the plotline, and I wasn't even a third of the way through it.
09:35:17 syv: How much did you play aside from the LP?
09:36:46 Devastator: I had a pretty complete test game, as well as all the stuff that didn't make it in.
09:36:48 Devastator: so quite a bit.
09:37:00 Devastator: What it did was show me why the game wasn't very good.
09:38:02 Devastator: but all the fun stuff was early on.
09:38:42 Devastator: Getting catapulted out of the upper entrance to sky ruler temple or whatever that place was was fun.
09:39:11 Devastator: (clipped OOB to get into it. Lead to being the proud owner of a stolen set of blade armour and a stolen artifact, another unique thing in-game.)
09:39:23 Devastator: got catapulted out of the top from being inside an invisible wall.
09:40:29 Devastator: Lets see.. I got arrested trying to get around viewing the execution scene in that one town. Was going to, at some point, get two scripts running simultaneously in that town, or earning the pardon and using it to free the guy and walk away scot-free.
09:40:43 Devastator: Hmm, what else.
09:41:35 Devastator: Had the dark brotherhood kidnapping all dialed up. Sadly, the bed inside the crazy daedra's realm was 'owned' so I couldn't sleep in it and have them kidnap me from inside a crazy guy's mind.
09:41:55 Devastator: I think if that was possible, I would have continued it.
09:42:15 Devastator: Simply because rewriting the ensuing conversation would have been amazing.
09:43:22 Devastator: Plus escaping from a crazy daedra's trap through the most absurd method imaginable would have been sweet.
09:45:03 syv: Mm.
09:54:20 Devastator: mmm?
09:54:37 syv: Mm-mm-mmmm.

20:15:04 Devastator: fair enough.
