01:19:16 Devastator: boop.
01:19:19 Devastator: Aigre?
01:19:30 Devastator: heya er, Piecewise.
01:19:47 Piecewise: Hello
01:21:09 er: Hey
01:21:12 Devastator: welp, parachute test.
01:21:32 Devastator: ..I'll change it to 'cast spell on self' so you can describe it, instead of doing the stick first and then falling.
01:22:47 er: Mm?
01:23:34 Devastator: yeah, testing out if temp bird wings work as a parachute.
01:23:47 Devastator: and testing the wording on the ground, so no death.
01:25:36 er: I should try getting an appropriate amount of sleep tonight, so I'm going to lig off soon
01:26:39 Devastator: ok
01:26:41 Devastator: good luck.
01:26:56 er: <3

01:28:39 Devastator: woob.
01:28:44 Devastator: just you and me, then, skelly.
02:08:45 Piecewise: hmm guess so
02:09:15 Devastator: good smbc today.
02:09:17 Devastator: http://smbc-comics.com/
02:09:51 Devastator: oh, right.
02:09:53 Devastator: thanksgiving.
02:12:01 Piecewise: I prefer the snake version of that holiday
02:12:05 Piecewise: fangsgiving
02:14:55 Devastator: snek.
02:15:10 Devastator: so how are you, PW?
02:32:58 Devastator: hmm.
02:33:11 Devastator: grow teeth until they fuse, preventing something from eating or drinking.

02:45:30 Devastator: heyo
02:45:44 syv: heyo
02:46:08 syv: The combat jet was described as landing multiple hits. This is just flavor, and it still only made one attack, right?
02:46:16 Devastator: it made one attack.
02:46:46 syv: Did the Malaysian Kaiju ever dodge any attacks?
02:46:59 Devastator: Yeah, actually.
02:47:09 Devastator: lemme look at the log, but I remember there being one.
02:47:39 syv: It wasn't described as doing so. If it was just one, that's pretty notable, considering the repeated statements about its motion and speed.
02:48:12 Devastator: it mostly wasn't trying.
02:48:48 syv: I'm going to pretend you didn't just imply some Kaiju will try to dodge a bunch.
02:49:21 syv: Do units have any difference in accuracy? Does range matter at all?
02:51:27 Devastator: Your units, no, unless you design for such a thing, enemy units, yes, and you've ran into it much more often than is normal, and no, range doesn't matter.
02:53:18 syv: It really is a pity that I never got to see what that prion launcher did.
02:53:24 syv: Err, what its stats were.
02:53:27 Devastator: Heh.
02:53:47 Devastator: well, from the combat you know it had Range F.
02:54:17 syv: Oh?
02:54:25 Devastator: Because that's the range it was fired at.
02:54:28 Piecewise: Press F to range
02:59:40 Piecewise: I'll place this here too

03:02:15 Devastator: heh.
03:02:18 Devastator: programming contest.
03:10:41 Piecewise: With cats
03:11:52 Devastator: meow.
03:11:58 Piecewise: Keyboard cat: Fury road
03:12:25 Piecewise: Not sure if it will be a literal nightmare to run or terrible in all ways but hey, worth a shot
03:12:31 Devastator: heh.
03:20:26 Piecewise: We should watch Kung Pow some time
03:21:35 syv: Nah.
03:23:39 Piecewise: That movie is fun you goddamn apathy elemental
03:24:07 syv: I like this name. Slightly.

03:33:14 Devastator: mmm
04:35:10 Piecewise: cabal tomorrow
04:35:14 Devastator: yay.
04:35:31 Devastator: is that good, bad, or good bad phrasing for parachute spell?
04:36:51 Piecewise: Looks fine, though I'll have to consider the cost a bit.
04:36:58 Piecewise: or the difficulty I should say
04:37:10 FiftyApathyElemental: Cost: 20
04:37:53 FiftyApathyElemental: Dev when are we gonna RP genius teenagers?
04:39:00 Devastator: which game? Cabal?
04:39:21 Devastator: can't be more than d8, as that's the limit of the bird word.
04:39:30 FiftyApathyElemental: Are we playing teenagers in any other game?
04:39:43 Devastator: ok, you up for that, then?
04:40:28 Devastator: I think with saeko's characterization, I'd expect she'd say hello and then probably bounce around a bit because you're uncomfortable about being hugged, and then ask about what you found.
04:42:13 FiftyApathyElemental: You know what nah
04:42:17 FiftyApathyElemental: I'm tired.
04:42:17 Piecewise: heh
04:42:17 Devastator: ok, no worries.
04:42:29 Piecewise: That name is correct
04:42:30 Devastator: the robots sound cool.
04:42:53 Devastator: probably recommend bringing those, some of the bomblets, and a couple machine guns to sell. That's it.
04:42:56 Piecewise: "Hey you wanna do a thing?" "Sure" "Well, I don't. Bye"
04:43:12 Devastator: I suspect I shouldn't have started with cuteness. ;-p
04:43:31 Piecewise: Sy is known to hate magical girls
04:43:36 Piecewise: unless they are suffering
04:44:28 Devastator: fair point.
04:44:45 FiftyApathyElemental: Not "unless"
04:44:52 Devastator: Heh.
04:44:58 FiftyApathyElemental: I hate them while they're suffering, that's why enjoy it
04:45:00 Devastator: sy is known to hate magical girls, they are suffering.
04:45:21 FiftyApathyElemental: Also true
04:45:21 Devastator: oh, and 50-50 split on the thaum, right?
04:45:28 er has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:45:44 er: Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy~
04:45:53 Piecewise: Get out of here horse
04:46:43 er: I'll toss you into the pit, shit skelly
04:46:54 FiftyApathyElemental: Back to the pit!
04:47:15 Piecewise: YOU DARE BRING LIGHT INTO MY LAIR?
04:49:01 Devastator: 358 thaum.
04:49:06 Devastator: so half is 179.
04:49:14 er: Hmm.
04:49:16 Devastator: can I get 149 mana and 30 thaum for alchemy.
04:49:19 Devastator: ?
04:50:03 er: Some wild magic made my dnd character a teenager. Is she a magical girl now?
04:51:09 Devastator: does she sparkle?
04:51:58 er: It's wild magic, she has ALL the particle effects.
04:52:15 FiftyApathyElemental: (Devastator) oh, and 50-50 split on the thaum, right?
04:52:24 FiftyApathyElemental: Not unless you're aggressive about it, no.
04:52:28 Devastator: ok.
04:52:41 Devastator: 70-ish, then?
04:52:55 Devastator: 50 because +3 will make life a lot easier with the parachutes and everything.
04:52:59 Devastator: and that should be it.
04:53:10 FiftyApathyElemental: Yeah, that's reasonable.
04:53:47 Devastator: ok.
04:54:00 Devastator: now lets hope I don't keep rolling shit for the next d12 on our ride.
04:57:16 Devastator: Hmm.
04:57:21 Devastator: gotta put him back in my char sheet.
04:58:58 er: Also, I don't mean to be annoying, I legitimately must air my enthusiasm: PS when.
05:03:16 Devastator: 10 for an enchantment slot.
05:05:29 er: Hmm?
05:06:34 Devastator: only so much mana you can shove into creatures before they get tired.
05:06:37 FiftyApathyElemental: Sigh. I don't know when.
05:06:39 Devastator: have to buy more capacity.
05:07:54 er: 10 mana, no roll?
05:08:00 FiftyApathyElemental: Need to check with Murdoc if he's still interested. If not probably need to rewrite some stuff. Really ought to change the game's format somehow, too.
05:08:17 FiftyApathyElemental: ...Chevalaresse.
05:08:33 Devastator: KM's probably still ok.
05:10:01 Devastator: still around.
05:11:13 FiftyApathyElemental: Yeah, but that doesn't mean he wants to bother with a game that slips in and out of a coma.
05:11:14 er: I'm still not sure if tis wiser to try to change format or just keep going.
05:11:46 FiftyApathyElemental: I'd keep going with the same game regardless, just try to make it less difficult to run.
05:11:53 er: My style doesn't work great with the rules I made for TH, but I like the setting.
05:11:54 FiftyApathyElemental: Same story, chars, and mechanics.
05:11:55 Devastator: well, as long as we get to keep fighting witches and I get to deal with problems related to excessive woof, I'm ok.
05:12:19 FiftyApathyElemental: Honestly, problems related to excessive woof would probably be top of the chopping block.
05:12:32 FiftyApathyElemental: Nothing is harder than the world and the mundane parts of it.
05:13:19 Devastator: ok.
05:13:22 Devastator: and aww.
05:13:24 Devastator: but ok.
05:13:30 er: Let me conquer the cold careless universe with the power of friendship please.
05:14:22 FiftyApathyElemental: Look at it this way; you can't lose something you don't have.
05:14:37 FiftyApathyElemental: Game without woof isn't worse than no game with woof.
05:15:07 Devastator: Yeah, true.
05:15:26 Devastator: so no werewolf or just no mundane downsides?
05:16:31 FiftyApathyElemental: No between-labyrinth "and now syv writes the daily lives of teenage girls" bullshit.
05:16:41 FiftyApathyElemental: Which broadly means yes, no mundane downsides.
05:16:48 FiftyApathyElemental: Assuming that's what I do.
05:16:55 Devastator: ok.
05:17:46 Devastator notes to one day, run a game about mundane downsides due to magical abilities to excess.
05:18:31 Devastator: now what would that be called..
05:18:59 Devastator: Hmm.
05:19:05 Devastator: "Secret Identity."
05:21:03 Devastator: Fights and such would be off-screen and take a number of turns where stuff just happens.
05:21:17 Devastator: and then you'd return and be fine or wounded or something and deal with things until the next off-screen fight.
05:21:42 Devastator: every once in a while you'd get a new power or something and that makes things harder.
05:22:36 Devastator: If you fuck up horribly your character breaks and dies by turning villain and getting an ending.
05:23:18 FiftyApathyElemental: How quintessentially dev.
05:23:41 FiftyApathyElemental: "You are a superhero, but all the fun parts are abstrated away so we don't have to see that."
05:24:41 Devastator: yes.
05:24:48 Devastator: if it's worth doing, it's worth doing wrong!
05:25:10 Devastator: So tempted to make a sig.
05:25:15 er: I do everything wrong.
05:25:19 Devastator: ..fuck.
05:25:27 Devastator: don't I owe you a period of that from a bet?
05:26:35 FiftyApathyElemental: Yes, but I never cashed it.
05:26:56 FiftyApathyElemental: I thought of an amusing idea, but it requires actual work from me, so I never pursued it.
05:27:19 FiftyApathyElemental: And otherwise I don't have any really entertaining ideas.
05:28:49 Devastator: ok.
05:33:03 er melts back into the floor.
05:33:50 Devastator: Yeah, no between-labrynth seems good.
05:35:10 Devastator: also, internet turned good for a bit, so playing surviv.
05:35:14 Devastator: I'll do k-com eventually.
05:37:00 Devastator: huh.
05:37:02 Devastator: 'VSS'
05:46:52 FiftyApathyElemental: Vintorez?
05:46:58 FiftyApathyElemental: Oh! In Surviv?!
05:47:18 FiftyApathyElemental: Agh I love that gun!
05:47:38 FiftyApathyElemental: It makes sense that they added it, I guess, since they added the OTs-14.
05:47:39 Devastator: yeah.
05:47:57 FiftyApathyElemental: Do you want to duo?
05:48:27 Devastator: sure.
05:48:32 Devastator: but got started on k-com after all.

05:48:47 Devastator: naturegirl's done.
05:50:53 sy: Ohhh!
05:51:08 sy: Surviv added the SVD in the same update as the VSS
05:51:12 Piecewise: SHE'S DONE IN THIS TOWN, YA HEAR?
05:51:44 Piecewise: I WAN HER DEAD. I WAN HER FAMILY DEAD. I WAN HER DOG FIRED. I WAN HER TREES MOLESTED.
05:52:16 Devastator: Hello Trump.
05:52:19 Piecewise: *snorts a cannoli*
05:52:21 Devastator: Need a bad sequel tagline.
05:52:25 Piecewise: BADA BING
05:52:38 Devastator: for Happy's second EVIL PHYSICS lab.
05:52:49 Devastator: Laboratory of Evil Physics II: the blank.
05:52:59 Piecewise: Evil II: Electric bogaloo
05:53:21 sy: "Another One"
05:53:30 Piecewise: "Also Evil"
05:53:32 sy: "Evil Metaphysics"
05:53:59 Piecewise: "The return of evil physics"
05:54:09 Piecewise: "the revenge of evil physics"

05:54:52 Piecewise: "I swear she told me she was of age and alive, physics"
05:55:23 Devastator: ok.
05:55:27 Devastator: and you, lab upgrade, ok.
05:55:34 Piecewise: Ok?
05:55:51 Piecewise: Can I summon god yet?
05:55:55 sy: Apparently they added an L86A2 to Surviv. As... a DMR.
05:56:09 sy: You could summon god before.
05:56:14 sy: Now god can just be larger.
05:56:44 Piecewise: Sy, your markov chain is breaking.
05:57:04 Piecewise: just saying numbers and letters

05:58:37 Devastator: how much did I start the mad scientists with again?
05:58:47 sy: Belgium rules, Germany drools
05:59:00 sy: Vychlop
06:03:49 Devastator: Finanlly.
06:03:58 Devastator: now.. to start April and list the black market sale.
06:04:06 Devastator: or, in reality, to pay some surviv with sy.
06:04:30 Devastator: because it's april purchases and you need to see what's for sale.
06:04:46 Devastator: http://surviv.io/#irH
06:05:59 er: So, one more update before I get to interact with the game, got it. ;p
06:06:29 Devastator: well, you can chat.
06:06:31 Devastator: but yeah.
06:06:59 Devastator: hello playa
06:08:32 Devastator: huh, dropped.
06:09:44 Devastator: dropped for some reason.
06:09:52 sy: Back?
06:10:11 Devastator: ya
06:10:16 Devastator: just froze mid-battle.
06:10:53 Devastator: huh, same again.
06:10:55 Devastator: just a sec.
06:11:38 sy: Okay.
06:12:09 Devastator: reset.
06:12:11 Devastator: lets see how this goes.
06:14:41 Devastator: well, didn't drop.
06:16:13 Devastator: ugh, just got sloppy, should have been ready to gun that guy.
06:19:26 Devastator: hmm.
06:19:30 sy: ...Was that cheating?
06:19:34 Devastator: thought I got him with the sledge. Guess I missed.
06:19:39 Devastator: Nah, prolly not, he missed a shotty blast.
06:19:48 Devastator: just someone hotswitching.
06:25:02 Devastator: dammit.
06:25:04 Devastator: I had that guy.
06:25:08 sy: Eh, I'm done.
06:25:11 Devastator: thanks.
06:25:29 sy: Heh.
06:26:06 Devastator: what? was thanks.
06:28:28 Devastator: plus secret identity is basically OPM.
06:29:29 sy: OPM has a lot of Saitama punching people.
06:29:41 sy: And it has a lot of other superheros doing superhero things.
06:30:00 sy: A lot of OPM appeals to superhero fans in standard superhero ways, it's just that there's a lot more than just that.
06:31:31 sy: Huh.
06:31:51 sy: Groza uses 7.62 ammo in the game for some reason, while the Vintorez uses 9mm.
06:31:51 Devastator: yeah, I suppose.
06:32:11 sy: But... they're both chambered in 9x39mm.
06:33:30 Devastator: Heh.
06:33:41 sy: Okay, no, it makes sense.
06:34:01 sy: It's the variant of the groza chambered in 7.62x39mm, not the main 9x39mm one.
06:34:10 sy: The mag's too long for the normal variety.
06:34:32 sy: Though, then, they have a separate suppressed Groza which still uses 7.62...
06:34:36 er: What are these numbers
06:35:04 er: I know only of the yellow ammo, blue ammo, green ammo, and red ammo.
06:35:17 sy: Millimeters.
06:35:48 Devastator: 7.62 is blue.
06:35:51 Devastator: yellow is 9mm.
06:36:01 Devastator: green is 5.56.
06:36:06 Devastator: and red is 12 gauge.
06:38:47 sy: The second number is case length, which is important in real life because 7.62x54mm is substantially more powerful than 7.62x39mm, but is apparently irrelevant in Surviv, where 7.62 can morph to be x39, x42, x51, or x54 freely.
06:39:25 sy: Or apparently 5.45x39mm, since the AN-94 also uses 7.62
06:39:46 sy: Which is just dumb, considering how close that caliber is to 5.56x45mm
06:39:55 Devastator: heh.

18:41:22 Devastator: when we hit 88 miles per hour, we're going to see some serious shit?
18:41:44 Devastator: well, I think it was two weeks for the miscast potion, so one more week then.
18:42:24 Devastator: Also, is ekrov literally going helium balloon forever?
18:44:17 Devastator: it's fixable, just hilarious.
19:05:32 Devastator: the next week is probably just 'get catbird fitted for a new harness', so should be clear of the miscast spells.

19:35:50 Devastator: heya er.
19:36:02 er: Well.
19:36:38 Devastator: nice 1/36 there
19:36:47 er: I have equivalent to d12 speed now, so I could always just say "hold my beer" and land catlike.
19:37:00 Devastator: I think it's just +1 grade.
19:37:08 Devastator: or is it really d12 equivalent?
19:37:35 er: D8+2 has the same average.
19:37:57 Devastator: ahh, fair point.
19:38:01 er: I think it might be a bit better in this system because it has a higher minimum?
19:38:03 Devastator: If you can land, yeah.
19:38:19 Devastator: assuming you aren't going up towards infinity with nothing to push against.
19:38:36 Devastator: If you are, fortunately I have a flying creature to drag you back down until it can be fixed one way or another.
19:38:56 er: It's transient, just a matter of how high I get first~
19:39:28 Devastator: heh.
19:39:42 Devastator: Is it transient?
19:39:47 Devastator: you tried for a permanent spell, right?
19:42:39 er: "Probably transitory"
19:43:19 Devastator: heh
19:43:49 Devastator: well, I'll still give him orders to catch you. The difficulty for a successful landing from a couple hundred feet up might be like a d20 or something.
19:43:59 Devastator: if you can grab on to him, it should be safe.
19:44:24 er: Maybe I can will the magic to be permanent and have you put wings on me.
19:44:34 er: Zavi the spaceship
19:45:19 Devastator: I'd do it, but I do want my backpack, too.
19:45:34 Devastator: although lighten self is also more appealing, maybe after this mission.
19:45:53 Devastator: wouldn't want to do it without wings and some ballast.
19:47:23 er: Also I've had a sudden urge to make a illustrated adventure game about a necromancer in a dark place.
19:47:26 Devastator: also gotta ask PW what the wings look like, because Saeko would totally want to decorate them.
19:47:32 Devastator: all black, all the time, eh?
19:47:38 er: Heh.
19:48:10 er: Would represent different senses with different colored lines, black background.
19:48:38 er: And white lines when you can actually see anythingm
19:49:28 er: Anyway, just my muse giving me ideas and absolutely no help achieving them, as usual~
19:49:50 Devastator: mmm.
19:49:54 Devastator: Piecewise, you on?
19:50:55 Devastator: but yeah, saeko's game to put wings on you, but she hasn't gotten her side of the current bargain yet, so not doing any more spells. Unless you really need the wings to land properly.
19:51:25 er: See, I'm like a cat.
19:51:49 er: I got up here myself, and I won't admit to needing help getting back down.
19:52:01 Devastator: Heh.
19:52:20 Devastator: well, I don't want to see you go splat, so my flying elephant is available.
19:53:39 er: Heh, elephantine
19:53:57 er: ...be back in a bit.
19:54:05 er: <3

20:19:42 IronyOwl: If you're around, Dev, I have questions about research!
20:20:30 er: Also
20:21:52 Devastator: Heya Irony.
20:21:52 er: Necromancer who can sense the souls of the recently departed, speak with them, and bind them into their own corpses, preventing the soul from moving on and creating an undead minion.
20:22:01 IronyOwl: hey dev
20:22:02 Devastator: sure.
20:22:16 IronyOwl: what's this about necromancers?
20:22:20 er: Except, in this setting all souls go to Hell so that's a good thing. :D
20:22:27 IronyOwl: oh, but my question about research is how researching parts could work
20:22:50 Devastator: What do you have in mind?
20:22:52 IronyOwl: for instance, can I research "better guns" and then apply them to otherwise mundane tanks, or would I need to build the design right in there?
20:23:23 IronyOwl: my original plan was to basically upgrade my tanks one component at a time, but then it occurred to me that might not work that way
20:23:25 er: 19:47:23 er: Also I've had a sudden urge to make a illustrated adventure game about a necromancer in a dark place.
20:23:27 Devastator: You say that you're building a weapon intended to be attached to a vehicle.
20:23:37 Devastator: and let me know how big of a weapon it is.
20:23:47 Devastator: and how much oomph the weapon has.
20:23:51 Devastator: and then you design that.
20:23:56 IronyOwl: cool
20:24:22 IronyOwl: would that be more expensive than trying to redesign an existing blueprint to have that weapon?
20:25:18 Devastator: A bit, because the new weapon is from scratch, and redesigning a tank blueprint to have a better weapon will be starting from that current weapon's stats.
20:25:35 Devastator: but if you make a weapon, you can then design a tank that can take multiple weapons.
20:25:57 IronyOwl: so I can go full legos with my tank designs?
20:26:28 er: Does that mean I can bully mad scientists into building a weapon the right size to be mounted on a small vehicle, rather than the whole vehicle with weapon?
20:27:26 Devastator: I'm not sure what you mean by legos, but yeah, you can make tanks that can take tank weapons.
20:27:36 Devastator: and er, yeah.
20:27:53 Devastator: the prion launcher was a weapon that goes for infantry, after all.
20:28:46 er: Uhhh
20:28:54 IronyOwl: I mean can I invent (or have invented) better armor, weapons, engines, treads, etc and just mix and match what I like on a given tank?
20:29:29 er: Can I yank the cannon off an artillery piece and put it on a technical because they're both the same size?~
20:29:42 Devastator: to a degree. Some things might be combined and consolidated for that, so don't expect actual legos, but there are certain things.
20:29:46 Devastator: Nope. Not built for that.
20:29:55 er: Faq
20:30:07 Devastator: you need to design a technical that can take an arty cannon first. ;-p
20:30:41 er: Nah, I'll put it on a flying drone.
20:30:52 Devastator: also, please wait for the BM stuff before doing any big plans, ok?
20:30:54 er: For maximum kaiju annoyance.
20:31:09 er: Hmm, really though.
20:31:49 er: A flying small unit that's still fairly cheap and poses enough threat to draw attention would be an amazing tank.
20:32:08 er: Because no warehouse or transport.
20:32:15 IronyOwl: will do, but is that just so we don't post it yet or because there may be... complications?
20:32:25 Devastator: well, mostly because this is a big sale.
20:32:33 Devastator: there's a pile of shit that some people might want to buy.
20:32:58 er: Shit please.
20:33:34 Devastator: yes, a drone is also on the list, fwiw.
20:33:43 Devastator: although, do remember, it's 1999.
20:34:06 er: Bitch I made a laser gun in a month~
20:34:07 Devastator: so it's not what you'd expect for a 'drone'
20:35:03 er: Well yeah, a small vehicle is a lot bigger than a quadcopter drone
20:35:10 IronyOwl: btw, how much do mad scientists benefit from a base item to work on? I notice happerry somehow built a laser truck with no laser early on, and pw spent a turn building a launcher for his prions
20:35:24 Devastator: trucks are an exception.
20:35:26 Devastator: they're 'free'
20:36:10 Devastator: because the civilian vehicle market is so common and full of varieties that there's no added difficulty for like a truck or car chassis.
20:36:20 IronyOwl: could happerry's death ray truck be modified to mount on a tank instead?
20:36:34 Devastator: you'd want to reverse-engineer it first.
20:36:42 Devastator: or happerry could get to work on the tank.
20:37:02 IronyOwl: ah, okay
20:37:08 IronyOwl: actually yeah, that sounds good anyway
20:41:02 Devastator: yay
20:52:55 Devastator: Also, happerary's death ray truck isn't a normal truck anymore, either.
20:53:42 IronyOwl: oh?

20:58:27 Devastator: ooh.
21:04:32 Devastator: ok.
21:04:39 Devastator: need a name for a mercenary infantry platoon.
21:04:40 ER: ~
21:04:51 ER: Bald ravens
21:07:19 IronyOwl: Silver Hogs
21:07:26 IronyOwl: Frayed Ravens
21:07:49 IronyOwl: Chubby Penguins
21:07:58 ER: chiseled gentlemen
21:08:07 IronyOwl: Bullet Moles
21:08:20 ER: murderhobos
21:09:41 IronyOwl: Goon Platoon
21:10:04 Devastator: heh.
21:10:24 IronyOwl: War Crabs
21:10:26 Devastator: ok, now what would someone call a customized and armed 'assault car' based on a 1968 plymouth barracuda?
21:10:35 ER: scuttle bugs
21:10:43 IronyOwl: Stylemobile?
21:10:49 IronyOwl: Classault Vehicle
21:10:55 Devastator: mmm
21:10:59 IronyOwl: War Wagon
21:11:16 IronyOwl: War Gecko if green
21:11:56 IronyOwl: Hot Thunder
21:12:00 ER: its name is the song they play on the horn
21:12:35 IronyOwl: Grease Machine
21:12:38 IronyOwl: Unlawful Entry
21:16:47 Devastator: yeah, that's the winner.
21:21:16 Devastator: ok.
21:21:45 Devastator: now a dismounted aircraft autocannon that's been heavily lightened and modified to fire from a small vehicle.
21:22:16 ER: Can three muscle catgirls use a weapon designed for light vehicle? :P
21:22:28 Devastator: you'd have to design specifically for that.
21:22:35 ER: hmm
21:22:40 ER: HMMMMM
21:22:48 Devastator: and if so, the limit is one small weapon.
21:23:27 ER: ...per each of the 40 catgirls in a platoon? :D
21:26:53 Devastator: for the platoon.
21:26:55 Devastator: posted.
21:27:43 ER: yes but. what if I made them each strong enough individually to Vulcan Raven a light weapon
21:28:11 ER: you telling me they don't make 'em that strong?~
21:34:21 Devastator: mostly it'd be a crew-served weapon, even so.
21:34:55 ER: isn't "rocket launchers" pretty much cre served weapons?
21:35:03 Devastator: yes.
21:35:05 ER: wasn't the prion gun that?
21:35:11 Devastator: also yes.
21:35:15 Devastator: and there was one per platoon.
21:52:32 IronyOwl: so what's the main draw of obsolete tanks?
21:52:48 ER: not as expensive to buy?..
21:54:43 Devastator: they're cheap.
21:54:43 Devastator: probably better for the MSes.
21:54:47 Devastator: they can buy BM stuff too.
21:55:25 IronyOwl: ah, so they do have potential for MS seed projects
21:56:57 Devastator: I'd say that explicitly, but I dont' want to order them to do that.
21:57:03 Devastator: ahh, well, you'll get it soon enough if I don't.
21:59:55 IronyOwl: oh yeah ER: What's this about kaiju dicks?
22:00:12 ER: hmm
22:00:24 ER: I assume I'm free to share this
22:00:37 ER: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/442743762574245888/647643484320432128/Screenshot_20191122-224254_1.jpg
22:01:10 ER: so I looted a "liver", which may or may not be a kaiju dick
22:01:17 Devastator: yes.
22:01:22 IronyOwl: ahahaha, so guts are nebulously dicks
22:01:33 IronyOwl: plausibly confirmably dicks, perhaps I should say
22:02:00 Devastator: they're stuff.
22:03:15 ER: though I could just keep it and figure out what I get for stuffing it into catgirls
22:05:28 IronyOwl: definitely a tricky one to figure out
22:05:47 ER: thonk
22:05:57 IronyOwl: part of the problem is that they're vague, so I dunno if kaiju kidneys have a particular function I'm thinking of
22:06:50 ER: though I want to get nekobutchers going this turn, so guts will need to go towards nekohunters or nekobutchers MK II
22:07:16 ER: might be good for hunters, depending exactly on what it does.
22:07:25 ER: ...And how rare it ends up being.
22:07:59 IronyOwl: I got some guts too, they probably won't be in demand, and it makes sense that "miscellaneous" would be common loot
22:08:06 IronyOwl: so I'd assume it'd be pretty common
22:08:17 ER: hmm, they're the same price as muscle and bone, not bad
22:08:20 Devastator: guts aren't particularly rare.

23:02:53 Devastator: heya.
23:02:55 Devastator: ready?
23:03:02 IronyOwl: uh sure
23:04:50 ER: hmm, join link didn't work
23:05:23 Devastator: huh.
23:05:26 Devastator: well, someone joined.
23:05:27 IronyOwl: I have no idea what's going on but I appear to be bad at it
23:05:34 IronyOwl: oh I stole his invite I guess
23:05:43 Devastator: nah, that was fine.
23:05:48 Devastator: it was intending to be for someone.
23:05:50 ER: oh, it's duos
23:06:00 ER: I just wanted to spectate you two
23:06:02 Devastator: squads are set on potato guns atm.
23:06:04 Devastator: I wish that was possible.
23:06:12 ER: just stream it ;P
23:06:23 Devastator: don't got bandwidth for that.
23:06:24 Devastator: or I would.
23:06:29 Devastator: http://surviv.io/#rpVe
23:06:38 ER: you take it, IO
23:06:40 Devastator: anyway, you want to split up at first until you find a gun that's not a pistol.
23:06:45 Devastator: then get back together.
23:08:08 Devastator: sometimes you just die early.
23:08:16 Devastator: not bad, you did some damage.
23:08:25 IronyOwl: yeah, alllllmost got him
23:08:28 Devastator: oh, just hit play again once the round ends.
23:08:32 IronyOwl: ah, okay
23:08:34 Devastator: it'll go back to the lobby immediately.
23:08:46 IronyOwl: too late now, need another link
23:08:54 Devastator: same as the one above.
23:13:55 Devastator: that went pretty well.
23:13:56 Devastator: we almost won.
23:13:58 IronyOwl: yeah
23:14:10 Devastator: oh, the buff items heal you over time, and make you move faster if you get over half.
23:14:22 Devastator: usually I save them up until I hve enough for the speed boost.
23:16:03 Devastator: oh, and if you're koed, try to move a bit to find a less exposed location.
23:16:12 IronyOwl: yeah, figured that out eventually
23:16:13 Devastator: almost had that guy, though.
23:18:43 Devastator: that guy had a lotta ammo.
23:18:46 IronyOwl: yeah
23:18:46 Devastator: armour, sorry.
23:18:50 IronyOwl: think I'm done for now
23:18:50 Devastator: he was almost dead.
23:18:53 IronyOwl: I mean, also ammo
23:18:54 Devastator: thanks!
23:19:09 Devastator: you're doing great.
23:19:10 IronyOwl: heh, that was fun
23:28:46 ER: you know, biggest problem with this necromancer ISG idea
23:29:13 ER: is that I don't have a method in mind to avoid dying from the starting conditions. :V
23:29:44 Devastator: you're a necromancer who doesn't have an ability to avoid dying?
23:29:58 Devastator: Isn't that like step one?
23:30:00 ER: not without an arcane focus! ;P
23:32:20 IronyOwl: arcane focus is the jeweld codpiece he was wearing for style reasons
23:50:00 ER: I mean, while that's technically possible, it's not the route I've set for myself over a few hours of musing to my own brain without any way of taking notes
