00:18:41 Devastator: I like the current smbc.
00:35:50 Devastator: codpieces were totally a thing.
00:37:09 ER: I just made a quick and dirty 1v1 melee combat game using the normal suits of playing cards and PMed it to
syv
00:37:18 ER: maybe he'll complain about it!
00:37:38 ER: maybe he'll complain that it's not guns. Hmm, maybe I should work on that after all.
00:38:52 Devastator: of course he'll complain about it, he's a goblin.
00:39:21 ER: only a goblin would hang around this place, after all
00:50:26 Devastator: the dwarf king in my location is called "Dimpleswords"
01:02:31 Devastator: maybe they have a more stabby mission for you to go on in Cabal.
01:09:34 ER: was tempted to just go grab a new chacter
01:10:15 Devastator: shoulda came with, though, I'd have given you some mana and you'd have gotten to stab things.
01:10:57 Devastator: well, go do something fun, then.
01:11:02 Devastator: start murdering people for mana. ;-p
01:11:25 Devastator: or set some kinda goal and go for it.
01:12:29 Devastator:
PW also has a plot thing that's going to start soonish.
01:12:31 ER: I could make a channeler with more flexible morals and eat people.
01:12:41 ER: and then have to fight the wizard police
01:12:53 Devastator: or just have your current one get crazy or ambitious or something.
01:13:14 ER: she's already as crazy as she'll get~
01:13:26 Devastator: "Use Strengthen to make Zavi more crazy."
01:13:58 ER: you touch my brain, I'll eat you
01:14:53 Devastator: would certainly do physical buffs, though.
01:15:14 Devastator: only mental ones if you ask for them.
01:15:18 ER: because I'm sure that if I touched your brain, you'd eat me
01:15:50 Devastator: only if she makes the save and didn't ask for it.
01:16:18 Devastator: miss the save, and welp, no problem.
01:16:59 ER: I will have to test how much I can do with MC and Incite
01:17:15 Devastator: MC can do quite a bit.
01:17:23 Devastator: like quiiiite a bit.
01:17:25 ER: kinda want to be able to cause permenant things
01:17:37 Devastator: You sure you can't?
01:17:52 ER: well, both powers have an upkeep...
01:18:39 ER: changing things and having them stay changed without farther input is creative powers...
01:19:33 ER: maybe I could putz with someone's brain using MC plus Semblance
01:19:43 Devastator: It's only an upkeep for making them do things.
01:19:51 Devastator: if those things stay that way when you're done, it's permanent.
01:21:11 ER: I did use it a bit earlier which we decided never happened, and it seemed they're locked out and don't percive anything while I'm MCing them.
01:23:24 Devastator: might be able to order them to do things they can't normally do, then.
01:23:53 ER: tier 1 and 2 use my own stats for any rolls they have to do
01:25:43 Devastator: maybe like dreaming.
01:27:20 Devastator: well, maybe pumsy knows or something.
01:27:24 Devastator: or you could experiment.
01:30:00 Devastator: eh.. mostly I want to see your intro, and I think I'm ready for the next witch at this point.
01:31:40 Devastator: plus doggo gets to see heavier combat.
01:45:05 Devastator:
syv, can you use mind control to interrogate someone? Like make them answer questions?
01:45:23 Devastator: or give them orders to 'answer all questions honestly?'
01:45:54 ER: again, orders won't persist after the linkage breaks, I believe.
01:47:13 Devastator: yeah, but you'd MC them and ask questions with your body.
01:47:20 Devastator: or have someone else question them while you put down the MC.
01:48:39 ER: I think it works similarly to Effigy
01:48:48 ER: can't ask questions of your other body.
01:49:07 ER: or you can, but you're not likely to learn anything
01:49:17 ER: it's like talking to a sock puppet :P
01:52:29 Devastator: I'm pretty sure I can ask questions of my other body.
01:52:33 Devastator: but yeah, like a sock puppet.
01:52:48 Devastator: I dunno, might be better than that.
01:53:07 ER: ...can you double up horizontal wolf bodies?
01:53:44 ER: man, why didn't you just wish for your body to be a main battle tank
01:57:32 Devastator: Yeah, that'd be better.
01:57:35 Devastator: eh, give it time. ;-p
01:57:42 Devastator: and yeah, can have multiple wolves running around.
01:57:59 Devastator: also can have Alida riding Alida, but that'll take a bit of practice to work with.
01:58:20 Devastator: Effigy is a bit too expensive for me to spend on practice.
02:00:17 Devastator:
syv did express worry that multiple wolves might be brokenly powerful, which might end up happening.
02:00:32 Devastator: I mean, super strength + close combat + giant wolf + teamwork..
02:00:39 Devastator: that's going to hit hard.
02:03:32 Devastator: CC4 ride-by clubbing at 200-ish kph.
02:03:52 Devastator: It might break her totem.
02:11:40 Devastator: If the mercy 'make things more fragile' power was active, I could see that swing breaking reality.
02:12:28 Devastator: probably not, actually.
02:12:58 Devastator: that won't be as bad as that joy detonation power at finale.
02:13:19 Devastator: still, might be some space-bending going on.
02:13:36 ER: I did nuke a city with that
02:16:00 Devastator: Better not tell Asha that.
02:16:19 Devastator: god, no wonder Sophia needs a drink.
02:16:44 ER: I'm pretty sure you can't reach that strength without dying.
02:18:02 Devastator: Good thing wolfy's getting stronger then. I'm sure if it runs long enough she could flatten a city or two. ;-p
02:18:27 Devastator: Yeah, though, that detonation power is waay stronger than any hitting things is.
02:18:28 ER: build up speed for 11 hours
02:18:53 Devastator: "Joke about parallel universes."
02:19:34 Devastator: Hmm. You know, Alida could probably raze a skyscraper with some CC usages right now.
02:19:48 Devastator: need at least a dozen, though.
02:25:33 Devastator: Aww, oz the killjoy.
02:25:57 Devastator: please, push the explosion elemental towards the group!
02:26:05 Devastator: success will be worse than failure!
02:58:37 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
02:58:51 syv: MC3 could, but not MC 1 or 2.
02:59:16 ER: well, that wasn't what I was going to level...
02:59:25 syv: Mobility doesn't translate into stronger attacks realistically. It's already extremely powerful without just being the speed force.
03:00:47 Devastator: Time to put a slingshot between two wolves.
03:01:03 syv: Your card game is neat, but lacks information about what the other player will do. All the cards are based around countering other cards, and being lower than the other cards, so the only piece of strategy you can really use is card counting. Cardcounting is... not a good central game mechanic, IMO.
03:02:09 syv: I would make it so a player can play one or no card of each suit, so four max, and they switch off "initiative" every round. Whoever has initiative must select their cards and play them facedown before the other plays, but they also win ties, or some other minor bonus like that.
03:03:12 syv: I don't know if that would be enough interaction, but it adds strategy and doesn't detract from the game's simplicity.
03:04:29 Devastator: That's unusually forthright for pumsy.
03:04:31 ER: I considered having stats you could pointbuy like your dark souls card game, but decided to keep it simple
03:04:48 syv: Yeah, I think simple is the right way to go here.
03:05:03 Devastator: buy some red pepper.
03:05:10 Devastator: defeat the regional champion.
03:05:34 syv: Having character customization would matter little, anyway. It'd just shift the luck part to the earlier parts of the game, whether or not your build counters your opponent.
03:06:03 syv: It just needs more interaction. Some way to predict what your opponent will do, so you can counter them.
03:06:24 ER: didn't have anything for jacks, queens, and kings to do
03:06:48 syv: Maybe they could be played to reveal parts of the enemy's hand?
03:07:15 Piecewise: Maybe just have them get inbred
03:07:31 syv: Though... honestly that might be worthless. You play a card, meaning you have four mystery cards, to reveal one of the cards you opponent has, along with their four other mystery cards.
03:07:48 syv: Maybe if a king reveals five, a queen four, a jack three?
03:08:52 ER: well, that makes some cards straight better than others, which is theoretically not true right now.
03:10:37 syv: Hmm. Maybe if they have meta effects? Queen of a suit negates all cards of a type, say, while the king makes them all count as priority 10, and a jack causes them to be priority 1...? Though this still plays into the self-absorbed nature of the game, setting up a non-interactive combo.
03:10:52 ER: I think that the tiers of MC need more description.
03:10:58 syv: Maybe if they take effect *next* round, and all players can see that they do, so both can plan for it?
03:11:24 ER: being able to roll using the MCed creature's stats sounds nice, but not vital
03:11:31 syv: Everything needs more description, every power has hidden depths and mechanics that aren't written, and probably don't even exist yet.
03:11:40 ER: being able to ask questions is very valuable.
03:12:54 ER: there's pure fighty games, there's thinky detective games
03:12:58 syv: One lets you make a witch destroy everything, or give an ally double talented and quadruple skilled stats. The other... lets you gain fluff RP knowledge that is never directly helpful due to the nature of your enemies.
03:13:16 syv: PS is an arena combat game that has brief"
03:13:24 syv: "brief" segments of fluff.
03:13:37 Devastator: or excessive fluff, in one character's case. ;-p
03:13:43 syv: Just because you've spent two years doing fluff, doesn't mean that's the mest of the game.
03:13:55 Devastator: is the next witch mostly ready?
03:14:04 ER: PS is a narrative game with a combat minigame with a large chance of killing your characters
03:14:04 syv: The next witch was ready months ago?
03:14:37 syv: Once Chevy is done with Pumsy, yeah.
03:15:04 syv: I don't do timeskip stuff to give me time to build levels, I do timeskip stuff because people see it as important.
03:16:03 Devastator: no time to play with new powers, no time to experience the rest of the world..
03:16:08 Devastator: it's a good breather before the next arena.
03:17:09 syv: It's a good way to make me writhe in agony as I try to write a believable and *interesting* world. -.-
03:17:35 Devastator: ..but don't you writhe in agony during missions too?
03:19:18 syv: It's a different kind of agony. A little bit worse.
03:19:24 syv: There's levels to writhing, okay?
03:19:28 Devastator: well, lets get through it then.
03:19:39 Devastator: let me know if you want more specifics as to cute thigns to do as an economy sized wolf.
03:19:42 syv: Yell at Chevy, I'm not late yet.
03:20:16 Devastator: speaking of which..
03:20:31 Devastator: yo,
Piecewise, you want defaults for
RC's crew in Cabal? They're kinda in an important situation here.
03:20:59 Piecewise: If they don't post, go for it
03:21:05 Piecewise: I assume
RC won't mind
03:22:49 Devastator: You guys, would they try to retreat with their hostages, or gather them together and continue the attack?
03:23:01 Devastator: because they have two options, really.
03:23:20 Devastator:
ER votes for blood, always predictable.
03:24:47 Devastator: and blood passes unopposed.
03:24:51 Devastator: ok, I'll go post those defaults.
03:24:52 syv:
RC & Pan? Why would they charge? Retreat is the obvious and smart plan.
03:25:11 Devastator: They've been attacking pretty continually so far.
03:25:13 syv: Actually type the nick I'm using if you want an immediate response.
03:27:17 Devastator: Also,
RC's last actual orders were just questions.
03:29:43 Devastator: Also doesn't list his amount of mana in his charsheet.
03:33:04 Devastator: went with orders that take few risks and make no big different in the state of the game.
03:36:37 Devastator: sadly, can't bring myself to murder people's characters for idleness.
03:37:34 ER: it'll be interesting to finally fight something in PS
03:37:54 syv: Sophia punched Ada like a few hours ago, in-universe.
03:38:32 ER: yup, it'll be nice to have a good proper fight~
03:38:52 syv: Yes, a good proper fight, in other words one in which you kill your character.
03:39:10 ER: no, one where I kill your character.
03:39:33 Devastator: I don't think anyone's murdered a pumsy yet.
03:39:38 Devastator: also not sure if that counts as murder.
03:39:47 syv: Nobody has murdered a Pumsy in-thread.
03:40:10 Devastator: that implies someone murdered a pumsy before.
03:40:14 Devastator: it probably didn't do much.
03:40:33 Devastator: still going to try to haul him into a labrynth at some point.
03:40:39 Devastator: no running away when we need you!
03:42:35 syv: You clearly don't understand his modus operandi, if you think that's banned.
03:42:48 Devastator: I don't think it's banned.
03:42:54 Devastator: but it's something to do.
03:43:27 Devastator: I think all that's banned are truly stupid and horrific wishes.
03:44:16 ER: probably not specifically wishes
03:44:43 Devastator: I'm sure most stupid and horrific actions are allowed.
03:44:44 syv: ...I was making fun of your statement saying "no running away when we need you". Considering he's virtually always ran away when needed, he's clearly not obeying that "no" there. I.E. running away when needed isn't banned.
03:44:48 Devastator: with limited exceptions.
03:44:58 syv has quit [Quit: You hear a distant scream of "FUCK AT&T!"]
03:45:45 ER: as usual, he runs off when we need him
03:50:14 ER: I am honestly in any game more for the RP value than for any combat system...
03:50:39 Devastator: I think PS has both, really.
03:50:44 Devastator: fun systems and fun RP.
03:50:55 ER: the things I look forwards to are meeting fluffy Alida and such, not dodging explosions.
03:51:19 ER: The latter does provide a wonderful character-immerisng fear, though
03:52:36 Devastator: you can easily do both.
03:52:48 Devastator: Ada meets fluffy alida should be fun, though.
03:52:55 Devastator: "I'm the best, I'm just so fast and strong."
03:56:04 Devastator: "Look, I think I could fit your entire body in my mouth." ;-p
03:57:11 Devastator: but it'd be disturbingly close.

04:25:26 Piecewise: Left hand path is updated by the way
04:25:44 Devastator: that's one mighty skelebone.
04:26:28 Piecewise: I figured I'd say though, since I updated it this morning and got no responses the whole day
04:26:34 Piecewise: might have slipped by
04:26:43 Devastator: I'm just not really reading it.
04:27:01 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:27:13 Devastator: before he runs away again.
04:27:24 syv: What is wanted from me before I go to sleep?
04:27:27 ER grabs Pumsy and starts petting him furiously.
04:28:35 Devastator: I am considering getting a kitten.
04:28:45 Devastator: "I wish I had unlimited kittens."
04:28:49 syv: I have a fluffy white kitten with severe flat-chested syndrome, you could adopt it. It's very nice.
04:28:58 syv: Not you,
Dev. You're too far away.
04:28:58 Devastator: flat chested syndrome/
04:29:14 syv: It was born with a flat chest.
04:29:53 syv: The bottom of its ribcage was flat. Now it's more concave, but only at the base of the sternum.
04:30:06 syv: It's not dead yet, so it probably won't die later.
04:30:16 Devastator: can't breathe right?
04:30:57 syv: Not well, but at this point there's no apparent difference from its littermates aside from being slightly less active--and it's still well-within standard kitten variation.
04:31:39 Devastator: There are kittens that aren't super active?
04:33:02 syv: Some kittens charge instantly towards anything that moves, unless they're asleep, and they flip between the two settings instantaneously. Other kittens will coil up and slowly stalk up on things that interest them.
04:33:36 Devastator: wow, chase hunters versus ambush hunters already.
04:34:18 syv: This one is generally the third--out of a litter of three--to reach or attack something. But... there's usually a kitten or two that's noticably more passive, so that's not that weird.
04:34:45 ER: where are the web-weaver kittens
04:34:56 Piecewise: Grab him by the Pumsy
04:36:15 Devastator: it's not purple or a tiger.

04:44:13 piecewise: The game will now be difficult, and will return to basic Perplexicon mechanics, except you also have to roll to cast spells, and rolls aren't shown.
04:44:36 piecewise: r/trypophilia is just a more empty mirror of r/trypophobia.
04:44:48 piecewise: It's also not porn, it's just aesthetically pleasing pictures.
04:45:15 piecewise: Fun fact: Trypophobic images usually make me hungry, they look tasty to me.
04:45:35 piecewise: Sadly, tripe actually tastes like vaugely salty slime.

04:47:56 piecewise[doubleslapped]: Peta sure is great comedy
04:48:15 piecewise: r/watchpeopledie got shut down?!

Sy frequents places like watch people die huh?
04:50:56 piecewise: Kinda an odd choice in last pic, most of those tags are meh.
04:50:59 ER: anyway Ada & Sophia update when~
04:52:00 piecewise: It was a good site. Sorting by upvotes and recency got lots of neat stuff, without too much cruft or reposts.
04:52:07 piecewise[doubleslapped]: Well whatever, Cloud people are here to prosecute George W bush for doing 9/11 at the behest of his secret jewish nazi shadow government over seers. And post and then report my own post.
04:52:27 piecewise: Though TBH last time I visited was when Aleksandra shot Alida in the back of the head, wanted to check that I got the headshot description realistic.

04:53:05 piecewise: Sadly nobody actually inspected her face. :(
04:53:18 piecewise[doubleslapped]: There are good books for that sort of thing
sy
04:53:22 Devastator: It kinda would have been weird to do that.
04:53:29 Devastator: I thought Alida would be too creeped out to do that.
04:53:31 piecewise[doubleslapped]: LOOK AT THE BOOOONES
04:54:33 ER: who wanna look at the face of a dead friend when they're still alive I mean daaaaamn
04:54:41 piecewise: Specifically I was looking to see if humans would spurt blood the same way animals do when shot in the brain. And... yeah, they do. Is that information covered in books? I don't care for anatomy textbooks, I already know anatomy acceptably.
04:55:15 piecewise: The precise effects of bullets on the human body? Not really, that's censored as fuck. It's all dead pigs and ballistics gelatin. :\
04:55:43 piecewise: I didn't know! That's why you do research.
04:56:22 ER: we're just weirdly shaped apes
04:57:42 piecewise: I haven't shot any apes, I don't know what bullets do to them.
04:58:07 ER: yeah, they're sadly mostly endangered except for us
04:58:30 ER: of which there are far, far too many
05:03:54 Devastator: said the person on the internet.

05:06:36 Devastator: Huh, I thought the abyss was supposed to be pretty good.

Piecewise isn't nocturnal!

05:27:27 ER: hey
piecewise, did I convince you to play NieR Automata?
05:27:49 piecewise: No, but I'll probablt play it eventually. Maybe before 2020.

05:58:41 er: I can combo Incite with Inner Monster
05:59:01 er: That'd do a number, I'm sure.
05:59:28 parisbre56: just need to get a bunch of bombs
05:59:40 er: Could use it on normal people, see what comes out...
05:59:41 parisbre56: that'd be more soul efficient
06:01:41 er: Anyone wants to see what comes out of Pumsy when I do that to him? :)
06:03:39 parisbre56: depends on what you invite him to do
06:04:10 parisbre56: sad, angry, scared, happy?
06:07:15 er: Inner Monster arises from giving power to certain feelings within myself. Incite is similar, but works on other people
06:07:35 parisbre56: well, given that the life of one Pumsy is irrelevant, that would probably be a waste
06:07:50 parisbre56: unless you somehow manage to combine it so that it's his inner monster
06:08:05 parisbre56: in which case I don't know if it would work
06:08:14 parisbre56: Pumsy seems like a psycho
06:08:29 parisbre56: doesn't seem to have any inner demons
06:08:38 parisbre56: he wears them all on the outside
06:09:27 Devastator: I don't know what incite will do to Pumsy.
06:09:31 Devastator: it'll be strange as fuck.
06:10:22 Devastator: You might need someone else to do the incite.
06:11:54 Devastator: there any other relevant powers?
06:12:53 Devastator: I think evoking someone else's inner monster might need a love.
06:13:55 Devastator: or a mercy to open up someone else's soul.
06:17:06 Devastator: ..Yeah, you'd get.. another pumsy.
06:18:48 er: I'll add "ridding this world of monsters" to the victory goals list.
06:19:27 er: And with that non-sequiter, imma leave
06:19:30 Devastator: including or excluding pumsy?
