02:32:26 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
02:35:27 ER: hello
02:35:32 ER: how are you
02:35:38 ER: I'm [screaming]
02:35:44 ER: I mean I'm okay
02:42:12 PW: Hello screaming
02:42:14 PW: I'm dad
02:42:29 ER: are you though?
02:42:46 ER: prove it, send me adorable pictures of your child
03:06:50 Devastator: 'lo
03:08:42 PW: https://live.staticflickr.com/5830/30961768616_fa11b41a0f_b.jpg
03:08:43 PW: ok
03:08:58 ER: pap
03:08:59 ER: a
03:09:19 Devastator: heya PW.
03:09:26 Devastator: going to be off-forum starting tomorrow night.
03:09:36 PW: okie dokie
03:09:41 Devastator: yay, skelebone.
03:09:49 Devastator: Can I send you orders on here? Should be able to read at work.
03:10:09 PW: Sure sure. Just PM them to me
03:11:57 Devastator: ok.
03:12:03 Devastator: thanks.
03:12:08 Devastator: don't want to skip a turn in Cabal right now.
03:12:11 Devastator: looks.. serious.
03:12:41 Devastator: PS looks like an ok time for a break, we're in the runup for the next witch.
03:13:14 PW: I'll try to be on here all the time
03:13:23 PW: Or at least leave it open
03:13:36 Devastator: thanks.
03:14:13 Devastator: goddamn it, more migrants.
03:14:22 Devastator: I don't have enough bedrooms yet!
03:15:14 PW: Dev
03:15:17 PW: have you
03:15:22 PW: considered building
03:15:26 PW: a wall
03:15:38 ER: and some of them, I presume, are good people
03:16:16 PW: But most of them are thieves, killers, elf sympathizers
03:17:17 Devastator: Heh.
03:17:33 PW: 3d printers are confusing
03:17:38 ER: hey, elves are okay
03:17:47 Devastator: I just wish they were pesants so I didn't have to change so many labours.
03:19:01 PW: https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0483/53/1468929493537.jpg
03:19:54 Devastator: I mean, I could really use another engraver, and probably another mason, and it'd be nice to train up a woodcutter. And I could use another military squad, but they all are like novices in 5 different things and I can't keep them all straight.
03:20:30 PW: there are some good elves though
03:20:34 Devastator: yes.
03:20:44 Devastator: the ones who visit your tavern and suffer from alcohol overdoses.
03:21:35 PW: I like this one
03:21:35 PW: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C4_x32BVcAIv7ez.jpg
03:21:39 PW: SFW
03:22:24 Devastator: mmm.
03:22:25 Devastator: cake.
03:22:27 Devastator: evil cake.
03:22:53 ER: elves are like humans, but FAST
03:23:06 Devastator: with brittle bones.
03:23:10 ER: as someone who once was a sonic fan, this is gud
03:23:21 ER: wood elves, at least
03:23:22 Devastator: gotta go fast.
03:23:28 Devastator: too bad Bella died.
03:23:39 ER: eh, they have the same HP as human adventurers
03:23:53 Devastator: Don't they have the special -1 penalty in DF?
03:24:04 ER: just trading some perkability for good vision and swift feet, most of the time
03:25:23 Devastator: mmm.
03:25:50 PW: Delicious in dungeon is good.
03:26:36 Devastator: They dont' have to eat the dragon body to win.
03:26:41 Devastator: they could just turn it into summon fodder.
03:28:35 Devastator: that might have been a power of the week, though.
03:28:36 PW: the summons might reform into the thing too
03:28:51 Devastator: eh, then you kill the new dragon and win too.
03:28:56 PW: or they might just be wrong
03:29:07 PW: they are fallible after all
03:29:12 Devastator: "Ak, now the whole party is evil dragon chimeras."
03:29:25 PW: Woops, all chimeras
03:31:52 Devastator: Yeah.
03:32:01 Devastator: You know, probably a good thing nobody has tried to abuse the dungeon mechanics.
03:32:13 Devastator: There'd probably be some boss monster a lot worse than the dragon chimera.
03:32:24 Devastator: Just mix everything you kill into yourself, take the best parts. ;-p
03:32:57 ER: can I become a sorcerer if I inject dragon blood into myself
03:34:58 Devastator: probably! Who knows.
03:53:19 Devastator: hmm.
03:55:16 ER: hmm
03:57:13 ER: if my sorcerer has a baby, will there be a 100% chance that I can train the child as a sorcerer?
03:57:57 ER: one advantage of wizards: a lot simpler to get an apprentice. :V
03:58:00 Devastator: maybe.
04:01:52 Devastator: I'm sure you could come up with some other way.
04:03:58 Devastator: Could speed it up. Could start some proper incestous breeding program.
04:06:19 Devastator: and if it's dragon blood, well, that's what summon monster and polymorph self are for.
04:07:09 ER: nah, mine's wild magic
04:07:21 Devastator: ahh.
04:07:29 Devastator: well, then just need to be ambitious with it. ;-p
04:10:06 Devastator: incest remains an option. ;-p
04:10:40 ER: ...
04:10:43 ER: rather not
04:13:02 Devastator: fair enough.
04:30:31 Devastator: So many people want something, but they aren't inclined to engage in multi-generational self incestual projects to accomplish them!
04:32:39 Devastator: Also, ER, totally with you in wanting to see some exospinal quill action.
04:32:47 Devastator: sadly, I think all that will happen is talking.
04:33:09 Devastator: otherwise Fazzing.
04:33:41 ER: Apparently the quill is part of the plan for properly dealing with a furler
04:34:07 ER: by... synchonizing our vibrations or some such
04:36:03 Devastator: it's also the weapon.
04:36:18 Devastator: Maybe this isn't a furler, though.
04:36:57 ER: seems that the true correct choice if to Faz it to figure out if it's a Furler or a Folder
04:37:36 Devastator: or Faz it because THIS IS NO PLACE FOR A PELICAN
05:16:25 Devastator: so what do the other chars do?
05:16:28 Devastator: attack? Do nothing?
05:16:48 ER: shrug
05:22:38 Devastator: ok.
05:36:12 ER: https://youtu.be/XdQPPh5eA_8
05:40:36 Devastator: bebe not feed good.
06:20:35 Devastator: Yeah, that's great.
06:35:10 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:40:17 Devastator: heya syv.
06:40:28 ER: helo
06:40:39 syv: heya dev.
06:40:47 syv: hehi
06:40:48 Devastator: forum absence starts tomorrow night.
06:41:09 Devastator: Should be able to be on IRC, and can dropbox the DF fort if it's my turn to take a turn.
06:41:11 Devastator: will last a week.
06:41:24 syv: Okay. Probably... probably not the worst timing, I don't want to start the next labyrinth right now.
06:41:36 Devastator: np.
06:41:44 ER: now now now
06:41:53 Devastator: although if you wanted to start it now, I could just IRC orders..
06:42:39 syv: If you can IRC orders, why can't you forum post them...?
06:43:02 ER: goblin~
06:43:35 Devastator: because it times my login out for some reason?
06:43:49 Devastator: and I'm not using anything I own?
06:44:53 Devastator: whatev, IRC and dropbox work, I'm not asking further questions.
06:45:20 syv: Write out posts in a txt file first. Even wordpad is comparable to the forum text editor, if you know the tags. But eh, yeah, it's not a real issue. IRC orders are fine.
06:45:43 ER: but muh RP
06:45:43 Devastator: besides, I don't think there would be much for her to do right now.
06:45:59 Devastator: Also, you and I can RP her on here..
06:46:21 Devastator: I can live without reading the ada-sophia stuff for a week..
06:46:52 Devastator: Ada's a great dick, though.
06:46:55 Devastator: very enjoyable.
06:50:49 syv: Top comment on Ada's Facebook profile: "Great dick, very enjoyable. 5/5 stars"
06:51:09 ER: :thinking:
06:51:49 Devastator: Man, ada's facebook profile.
06:52:09 Devastator: Probably a million people like that.
06:52:16 ER: IRC is the perfect communication platform but for the ability to use emoji
06:52:30 Devastator: :poop:
06:53:38 syv: Emoji devalue communication.
06:54:08 syv: Sure, in theory they add more variety and depth, but they're like adding shotguns to an orchestra. It just doesn't work out.
06:54:59 ER: what have you got against firing off cannons as part of classical music
06:55:33 syv: The part where it deafens you to the rest of the music?
06:55:45 ER: builds character
06:56:05 syv: Admittedly, I think st the distances normal orchestras play at it wouldn't be such an issue for the *listener*, but it'd still be discordant.
06:56:26 syv: And Dev, if you're about to link some example of orchestras including shotgun-type sounds, please don't.
06:56:33 Devastator: Hmm?
06:56:40 ER: https://youtu.be/lpbJJmOJLz8
06:56:59 Devastator: Just looking through my dwarf civ's musical instrument list to find one like that.
06:57:41 ER: leave it to dwarves to invent gunpowder and only use it for music~
06:59:56 Devastator: lets see, huge glass drum with leather cover played by hand.
07:00:32 Devastator: metal bowl struck by glass hammer.
07:01:25 Devastator: double-ended stone tuba thing.
07:01:34 syv: That... doesn't sound very reliable.
07:01:44 syv: I guess it's a very tough glass hammer.
07:01:53 ER: It's interesting roleplaying as almost a feral child
07:02:03 Devastator: ..is this one an actual bagpipe?
07:02:04 syv: Yes.
07:02:24 syv: We should watch Mockingbird Don't Cry sometime.
07:02:27 Devastator: ..yes.
07:02:31 Devastator: It's an actual bagpipe.
07:02:48 ER: what do you mean this is your property, I stole it from you
07:02:55 ER: that means it's mine now, duh
07:03:00 ER: see? I'm holding it
07:03:59 Devastator: ..and a small accordian thing where you hold basically a flute thing in the other end.
07:04:43 Devastator: A DIFFERENT VARIETY of bagpipe, this time with a different reed arrangement.
07:04:46 Devastator: the hell, dwarves.
07:05:52 Devastator: a glass plucked guitar.. so probably more of a harp arrangement..
07:06:08 ER: hmm
07:07:07 ER: ...I started with two ships. I managed to foolishly lose the one that's actually capable of combat
07:07:09 Devastator: The one that I can't get completed because it has too many parts to assemble is apparently a hand-held 220 pipe water powered reed organ, in what must be the most complicated portable instrument I've ever heard of.
07:07:16 ER: then I even more foolishly quicksaved after that
07:07:59 syv: 220 pipes? Damn.
07:08:05 Devastator: Yes.
07:08:09 ER: I'm still in the tutorial quest. When I advance to the next thing, I'm forced into a fight with some weak automated drones, which esially kill my weak support ship
07:08:20 Devastator: it makes the 46-string movable mini-piano right after that seem easy and reasonable.
07:08:25 ER: then because it's the tutorial, my only option is to reload the save
07:08:39 ER: welp, guess we're restarting!
07:08:42 Devastator: Although it probably is, I mean, it's 'large' so like tuba or bass sized.
07:09:06 syv: Maybe all the pipes are really close set, and you blow on specific areas...? Or... I think that'd conflict with "water-powered reed organ"....
07:09:39 Devastator: yeah, I mean, a harmonica is a reed organ with what, 40+ reeds?
07:09:47 Devastator: 220 could be done.
07:09:49 ER: dwarves are just into excessively complicated steampunk machines
07:10:04 Devastator: the stone keyboard, otoh..
07:10:27 Devastator: And to round it out, a wooden triangle that gets hit.
07:10:47 Devastator: and presumably only goes 'klunk'
07:10:52 ER: oh well, we'll pretend that I permadied in the tutorial and start over. :P
07:11:01 ER: klunk.
07:12:37 Devastator: forge reveals two more, one that's a metal bar that gets hit, and one that's basically a trombone.
07:13:44 ER: auto generated character name: Monday Goff
07:14:15 Devastator: I can't figure out how to make cloth strings, so those instruments are unmakable until I figure out where to issue the orders to make the pieces.
07:16:32 Devastator: well, I'll let the manager figure it out.
07:26:55 Devastator: Still don't know where they do it.
07:26:58 Devastator: someone will do it.
07:28:06 Devastator: Craftsdwarf's Workshop.
07:28:54 syv: Makes sense.
07:29:06 syv: Are there individual jobs for each of the 220 pipes?
07:29:48 Devastator: no.
07:31:34 syv: Hahaha!
07:31:50 syv: I just got a text from my boss saying I don't have to come in for the dayshift tomorrow!
07:31:59 syv: Yay!
07:32:02 ER: amazing
07:32:38 Devastator: nifty.
07:33:48 syv: I think it's mostly because I'm the most junior employee, so my boss doesn't want me closing the office, but still. I don't have to wake up in the middle of a storm to go drive into it.
07:34:43 Devastator: good luck.
07:37:04 Devastator: yay, this time he got all the pieces to the workshop.
08:13:01 Devastator: yeah.
08:13:10 Devastator: bad storm, right?
08:16:21 syv: Cat 5 now, so yes.
08:17:15 Devastator: don't worry, trump wants to nuke it, so we'll be ok, right?
08:17:42 syv: :|
08:17:47 ER: still a great idea
08:17:53 Devastator: good luck.
08:18:27 syv: Well it's not like we're using all these nukes.
08:18:34 syv: Might as well launch them into the Atlantic.
08:25:04 Devastator: I'm sure the fallout wouldn't be horrible.
09:06:17 ER: welp
09:06:48 ER: I think I got lucky and restored more of these derelict ships than the game intended
09:07:25 ER: got a cruser and a carrier, and I can't afford to hire enough crew for both. :P
09:10:55 syv: What game is this?
09:11:21 ER: Starsector.
09:12:03 ER: ...especially the carrier, looks like. Ah, well fuck it, it's a pretty shoddy carrier...
09:12:52 ER: 135 crew to the destroyer's 50
09:13:27 ER: my starting frigate and combat shuttle require 15 and 4 respectively
09:14:16 syv: So tiny.
09:14:35 syv: Do crew represent many people, or something?
09:14:48 ER: nah, seems to be 1-1
09:15:07 ER: each fighter uses 1, bombers use 2
09:19:43 syv: What kind of carrier only carries 135 souls???
09:24:36 syv: Also, that could totally be 1-2. Pilot + copilot for fighters. But... still, tiny tiny carrier.
10:23:12 syv has quit [Quit: You hear a distant scream of "FUCK AT&T!"]
10:50:17 ER: this star system is call Kazeron
11:01:14 ER: yay, spaceships
11:20:18 ER has quit [Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- s0 d4Mn l33t |t'z 5c4rY!]
20:40:41 Devastator: new freeman's mind.
21:33:06 PW has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
21:33:07 PW has joined #einsteinianroulette
21:34:40 PW: Apparently south africa is staging xenophobic murders on nigerians
21:35:50 PW: and somehow, despite this being instigated by nationlist black leaders, there are still people blaming...Whites, asians, and a few blaming middle easterners
21:36:11 PW: There's a hilarious irony in that
21:38:08 Devastator: oop.
21:38:13 Devastator: wait, staging?
21:38:25 Devastator: I assume you mean conducting staging and not faking staging.
