00:48:53 Devastator: something happen today?
00:54:51 er: You should post a boldtext in PS before tomorrow so that
syv has to update the main thread instead of Sophia and Ada.
00:57:21 er: But
syv isn't counting it as an action to use the seed.
00:57:41 er: Won't progress until you do something.
01:01:08 Devastator: I did make an action to use the seed.
01:01:56 er: I'm just telling you to post boldtext because
syv says you probably won't and will use that opportunity to update me and
Paris tomorrow.
01:03:00 Devastator: Why would
syv say I'd probably not post boldtext?
01:03:07 Devastator: I post boltext all the dang time.
01:04:33 er: He said "main game people" which is you and KM.
01:24:32 er: I'm midway through feeling better now.
01:25:45 Devastator: so midway through the period of feeling better?
01:25:48 Devastator: Well, you have my sympathies.
01:28:13 er: Worst part's behind us now. ;p
01:28:46 er: I'll have to update my poor little games...
03:47:19 Piecewise_ has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
04:06:09 Devastator: welp, gotta change orders if that's the case.
04:52:04 Devastator: and.. no
syv yet. ;-p
05:59:25 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:59:58 syv: "No
syv yet" because I've been sleeping later, as writing PS ruins my sleep schedule.
06:03:42 Devastator: well, good to see you.
06:04:06 Devastator notes to have saeko hug tackle Ekrov fairly often.
06:05:53 syv: As okay as five hours of sleep can be, I suppose. No dreams.
06:06:54 Devastator: welp, if you want to nap I can wait up.
06:07:46 syv: Oh, no. If I sleep in, I'll fall asleep later; waking up early like this makes it easy to fall asleep early, which drags my schedule back towards what it should be.
06:08:16 syv: Gotta return to my normal before the weekend, only have the weekdays off this week.
06:08:53 Devastator: well, RGU wished, which is probably the big news.
06:10:34 syv: Yeah, just sent him a PM asking for more details.
06:11:09 Devastator: welp, was fun talking about it, but now I'm going to have to live with it, fly by the seat of my pants so to speak.
06:11:44 syv: 'Tis an exciting wish. Not sure if it's better than briefcase tank, but it's better than most. Though I am a little disappointed despite myself that it isn't turning Alida's whole family into wolves.
06:12:34 Devastator: I'm only miffed at the lack of escalating fluffiness.
06:13:14 Devastator: but yeah, briefcase tank would have been good.

06:25:12 sy: Transistor *does* have good music.
06:30:11 Devastator: I think
ER found a typo in the memories.
06:35:23 syv: More useful than
Dev, with his "it's just your style" non-answering. *aside glance*
06:37:08 Devastator: There was stuff I was like 'Hmm, maybe this should be different' and then I read further and went 'no, it works well with this bit as is, I'd have to change everything, and probably make it worse.'
06:38:08 er: But I can see obvious spelling mistakes, so I'm happy to help there. :P
06:40:44 er: You know, here's an observation
06:41:12 er: All memories seem to be set after becoming a magical girl.
06:42:17 Devastator: Might be a setting thing, that.
06:42:28 Devastator: I mean, before you're a lich, you probably keep your memories in your headbone.
06:42:38 Devastator: after a lich, they're in the magic gem.
06:42:47 er: Implying that memories only start being stored in a format that others can absorb after the soul expands into its larger state.
06:43:14 Devastator: but clearly we do remember things that occured before becoming a magical girl.
06:43:22 Devastator: so there has to be some sort of translation mechanism.
06:46:32 Devastator: I'm also curious what happened when giving a witch another grief seed.
06:46:45 Devastator: I suspect it didn't work properly. Did something, but not in an intended manner.
06:52:14 syv: I might justify the memories only coming after the wish as some setting thing, but really it's because of how the stories are told. To write more stuff, outside of their lives as MGs, would require me to more completely develop the characters' life stories.
06:53:06 syv: It would also spread out the memories, and either cause more work in writing (which also makes the stories less efficient), or make it happen... faster, I guess? Longer periods of time passing between memories.
06:53:41 Devastator: well, maybe some other witch in the future would make more sense for that.
06:53:51 syv: But mostly, it's just harder.
06:53:54 Devastator: perhaps not these ones, but maybe at some point.
06:55:56 Devastator: It's fine if it doesn't happen, too.
06:55:59 Devastator: two isn't exactly a patter.
06:56:37 Devastator:
ER has seen the extra one, right?
06:57:57 Devastator: Gotta as Pumsy if Izzy is still around.
06:58:12 Devastator: because killing two witches via soul loss doesn't mean they're actually gone.
06:58:16 Devastator: might have came back again.
06:59:10 syv: Well, it *was* a point-blank nuke.
06:59:28 Devastator: yow, maybe I should have taken soul nova.
06:59:44 Devastator: still, though, magic.
07:00:13 syv: A smaller one, but yes. It's a Dark Soul ability, and is extremely strong if it puts you to zero, like other DS abilities.
07:00:36 syv: At more reasonable levels of soul, it's more like a MOAB or something.
07:01:38 syv has left #einsteinianroulette [???]
07:02:01 sy has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:30:46 Devastator: yeah, maybe I should have taken that. Oh well, DwR is very fun too.
07:37:36 syv: Soul Nova's a bit... probably not ideal for one level. DwR is fairly weak with one level, but is at least flexible and won't use up most of your soul with every use.
07:38:35 Devastator: I'd take Beacon, but I'd rather not pass on a joy level.
07:38:47 Devastator: won't get the chance for a while, even if I make her a Brave-Joy character.
07:39:01 Devastator: I'd ditch regen, but I didn't think angering you would be wise.
07:39:54 Devastator: Resounding Echos also seemed like a good choice, but I like flexability.
07:40:14 Devastator: in truth maybe a better choice, because I could see ruling that effect should scale with mass.
07:40:56 Devastator: Outburst seemed okay, but we still have Tooru who can handle bombs better.
07:41:06 Devastator: I might change it to outburst, but probably not.
07:41:16 Devastator: might change to RE, but probably not.
07:51:35 syv: You maaay want to edit out the boldtext if you want to think about it. I wouldn't be too annoyed with you going back on a decision after I put it in the sheet, buuut I'd really rather not.
07:52:18 Devastator: I'll stick with DwR.
09:17:09 Devastator: So if soul nova has power based on how dark your soul is, what's the power level of a witch using one?
09:17:58 syv: You're lucky that the interiors of Lucy's labyrinths weren't spacially connected to the main area.
09:18:52 Devastator: so big, but not nuke-sized.
09:19:16 syv: You could interpret what I meant to mean that, I suppose.
09:20:47 Devastator: Just wondering if it was nuke sized why nothing leaked out.
09:21:15 Devastator: I thought there were like fifty connections from that big room.
09:22:23 syv: Because they weren't spacially connected when doors were closed. IIRC one of the doors had been smashed in the main hall, and there was just a stone wall behind it; you could have smashed any of the others to achieve the same effect.
09:22:57 syv: Throw a rock through an open door, it goes into the room. Throw a rock through a closed door, it smashes through and makes a crater in the stone.
09:23:54 Devastator: No other open door that linked to say the top of the shaft?
09:24:26 syv: Nope, y'all killed all the clay servants, and they were the only ones who opened doors.
09:25:54 Devastator: Thought there were a lot of them running around.
09:26:03 Devastator: hmm, must be interesting.
09:26:11 Devastator: spacially disconnected but can still communicate through them.
09:26:34 syv: I think there might've been a couple still manning boats, but I don't recall for sure. Don't think so.
09:27:04 Devastator: I just remember there were like fifty in the big building and then they scattered about.
09:27:17 Devastator: and yeah, might have been some in boats outside.
09:28:38 syv: Eh? No, there was just a band in the big building, I think like five. The crowd was a bunch of bipedal alicorn skeletons, which didn't even have hands to open doors.
09:29:02 syv: ...I think I might've described them as having their upper legs tied to their torso with ribbons, actually.
09:29:43 Devastator: I thought the crowd was more mud men.
09:29:49 Devastator: might have just been me.
09:30:40 syv: Maybe I was stupid and wrote "a crowd of familiars" or something. Was months ago, I don't recall, and ir doesn't really matter.
09:31:06 Devastator: besides, the labrynth might not have lasted long enough to kill us through backblast through an alternate entrance anyway.
09:32:06 Devastator: Maybe relate how long it takes a labrynth to break down to how long it takes for the MG to turn witch..
09:32:31 Devastator: because Lucy turned pretty quick.
09:34:30 Devastator: Yeah, went out with a bang.
09:34:53 syv: Well, she exploded, rather than witching, but I suppose that's quick all the same.
09:35:12 Devastator: ... I call it witching if you end up as a witch.
09:38:53 Devastator: maybe we should have kept the grief seed, just in case we ran into her sister again.
09:39:00 Devastator: put them together and fight combo-witch! ;-p
09:40:27 syv: That would be a really, really, really bad idea.
09:41:08 syv: Like "Okay, let me interrupt this update to ask if you're sure you want to kill yourself in an over-the-top way?" bad.
09:41:26 syv: Well, no, because I've invested in my current batch of players.
09:41:37 Devastator: And yeah, I'm assuming whatever equivalent thing to a love's -2 cost to all powers would be for a witch is something impressive.
09:42:03 Devastator: to another witch who, quite frankly, was pretty tough with very potent offense.
09:43:15 Devastator: Throw in that she had relatively low-offense minions to what would likely be strongly upgraded very strong minions already..
09:43:26 Devastator: Yeah, sounds pretty fatal.
09:46:35 Devastator: "Achievement Unlocked, Optimized worst-case scenario."
09:48:01 syv: Thinking about it, it actually might not be *that* bad. Izzy wasn't very strong, she's not a two-use witch, and Hatred doesn't synergize all that well with Mania. Unlike Joy and Love.
09:48:23 Devastator: No special bonuses for being the hatred focus?
09:48:32 Devastator: putting it that way, they might infight.
09:48:38 syv: Probably, but it wouldn't be overwhelming.
09:50:15 syv: Yeah, some of the later witches I already have planned would probably be worse. They're intended as endgame opponents, though, so.
09:50:39 Devastator: well, hope I get to see them.
09:50:55 Devastator: or get killed horrifically before seeing them.
09:52:59 Devastator: tbh, all the witches have been very impressive.
09:56:17 syv: I keep comparing them to the witches in PM3, which is bad because I can't really imitate that level of weirdness through words only, even if I were far more experienced, but kind've god because it makes me want to try and come up with weird stuff.
09:56:29 Devastator: I didn't see the one Sophie fought, but from what I heard it seemed to be good.
09:56:44 syv: Which is absolutely something I think I need to practice, if I don't deliberately go for weirs my stuff tends to be plain.
09:58:53 Devastator: There's nothing wrong with plain in general, but yeah, this subject deserves some weird.
10:53:24 syv: Oh. Just sickness, or something else?
10:53:50 er: Okay, I don't have too much to complain about.
10:54:34 er: Other than sickness it's pretty nice.
10:57:20 syv: Anything I can do? Besides update?
10:59:48 er: Go to an altar and use a dragon blood droplet?
11:00:45 syv: Altar I can do, but all my droplets are virtual, they only cure NPCs. :\
11:14:45 syv: Well, happy Tuesday to you too.
