06:11:59 er: Protagonism: a game where me, the OP, controls only the protagonist, while 5 GMs come up with events and spectators can vote on which proposed version happens.
06:13:30 er: Bonus: I don't have to work very hard other than counting votes.
06:14:03 er: Could even pass on the role of protagonist to someone else if I got bored.

09:17:09 syv: I've yet to find a video of this game that I *don't* find hilarious.
09:18:22 Devastator: goddamn it, that game's been out forever.
09:18:33 Devastator: I bought it once to experience it, but can't remember the name.
09:18:33 syv: I've never seen it before!
09:18:45 Devastator: No, it's exactly another game, but this time in VR.
09:19:15 Devastator: agg, quite an old one.
09:19:49 Devastator: (It's also probably a game I'd consider VR to be actually adding features.)
09:20:03 er: Pretty sure that game's always been VR
09:20:32 Devastator: It's been made before.
09:20:47 Devastator: first person action sword game? With more precise physics instead of fixed swings?
09:21:04 er: It slightly resembles dark messiah of might and magic
09:21:32 Devastator: Also like the game I'm thinking of, which was a bit buggy.
09:22:21 er: But you can't say it's the same game just because it has similar gameplay and aesthetics, otherwise half life is a level pack for doom
09:22:50 Devastator: It was more than that. It was gameplay, aesthetics, physics..
09:23:46 Devastator: the hand simulation.
09:23:51 Devastator: the ability to sever limbs.
09:29:46 Devastator: played some maid-themed deck building game.
09:44:46 Devastator: tuna salad or good tuna?

19:36:50 Elasticly_Rigid: But I haven't read them because I'm 9n my phone
19:37:50 Piecewise: but only on his phone
19:38:49 Elasticly_Rigid: Did one of the homestuck trolls have a 9 gimmick?
19:39:05 Elasticly_Rigid: I feel like I accidentally channeled them there
19:40:18 Devastator: ..was that gamzee again?
19:40:27 Elasticly_Rigid: Anyway, please provide me a summary which I can comprehend from this puny screen~
19:40:49 Elasticly_Rigid: The clown just alternates caps
19:41:17 Devastator: not much happens. Incremental progress.
19:41:48 Piecewise: Seems discord has died
19:42:05 Piecewise: Discord seems to be down right now
19:42:07 Elasticly_Rigid: Rip in pepperoni
19:42:28 Piecewise: I hope I rest in peace in pepperoni
19:43:11 Elasticly_Rigid: Well last turn in Cabal I got what amounts to "you get offered a secret mission" which seems pretty incremental.
19:43:15 Devastator: there's a good joke with that, I just can't remember.
19:44:48 Piecewise:
ER: The secret mission is basically to hang out with
Dev and make sure he don't do bad things. Because the powers that be hired him to do things
19:46:08 Devastator: Well.. good thing there isn't enough room on the mount for another body! ;-p
19:48:57 Elasticly_Rigid: That would have been more Fun if she were an unidentifiable carapace lady.
19:49:26 Elasticly_Rigid: Well, presume that I can find her.
19:49:43 Elasticly_Rigid: Any idea how long I'm supposed to do this?
19:50:15 Devastator: "I'm not against it, but I just had to cast a big spell to have enough room on my mount to carry the designated people, and frankly, he's not quite as big as I wanted him to be."
19:50:29 Elasticly_Rigid: She's not about to stop being a dangerously powerful wizard. Unless she dies.
19:50:36 Devastator: "Plus didn't you say you had to do something for the magebreakers?"
19:51:28 Piecewise: You'd basically be following her from here, to her floating city escapades, and then back
19:51:40 Elasticly_Rigid: "I'm here to spy on you, and you can either accept or await less subtle methods."
19:51:43 Piecewise: They want you to make sure she actually gets the thing and gives it to them
19:54:40 Devastator: It's also stupid as fuck.
19:55:01 Devastator: I told the organizer explicitly that he could just send someone along with me as a representative, and they turned that down.
19:55:16 Devastator: If they wanted a spy, why not just say yes to that?
19:55:38 Piecewise: Mostly because they don't want you to know, in character, that they're connected to the mage breakers
19:56:20 Devastator: Yeah, but in this case I'm going to not want to be spied on by the magebreakers for general reasons.
19:56:44 Devastator: I would never have known if they just chose someone I don't know is connected to the magebreakers.
19:57:06 Devastator: now it's either 'org is a magebreaker' or 'the magebreakers are spying on this guy'
19:57:36 Piecewise: They're choosing
ER because you know him as well, so him coming with isn't an obvious spy action.
19:57:40 Devastator: Although, saeko being sociable, I mgiht try to cut some kinda deal with Zavi so that Zavi doesn't fail, but we don't get spied on.
19:57:51 Devastator: yeah, it's a fair point.
19:58:00 Devastator: although
ER just told me IC about working with the magebreakers.
19:58:08 Devastator: just now and earlier.
19:58:21 Piecewise: True, but you wouldn't know thats the capacity he was in
19:58:42 Piecewise: Though you could be suspicious
19:59:19 Devastator: well.. yes. Zavi just said she was going to do something for the magebreakers and wasn't interested in going.
19:59:30 Devastator: and then shows up a few days later saying "Hi, can I go with you?"
19:59:37 Devastator: ...so I'd ask, naturally.
20:00:27 Devastator: eh, I'll find some kind of accomodation.
20:00:48 Devastator: either extract some more pay from the magebreakers or find some way to fob it.
20:16:26 er has joined #einsteinianroulette
20:17:51 Devastator: anyway, I'm full up as things are now.
20:18:08 Devastator: If you want to come, well, I don't want a spy with me, so we should come to some kinda deal.
20:18:54 Devastator: I don't want to leave you screwed, but I don't want a spy along with me, and it's got practicality issues too.
20:20:34 er: They know that Saeko was literally in the room when I applied, right?
20:21:07 er: Anyway, I didn't tell you I wasn't coming, or that I was doing something for the breakers
20:21:11 Devastator: tbh, she wouldn't have forgotten.
20:21:33 Devastator: so.. yeah, she knows you work for the breakers.
20:21:37 er: I only just found out I had another assignment at the moment.
20:21:43 Devastator: or it's at least quite likely.
20:22:12 er: I was just going to get debriefed, and probably wouldn't have told you take much.
20:22:15 Devastator: Also, and this is OOC, but I really, really don't want knowledge of Ekrov's sculpture to get around.
20:22:32 Devastator: if we dont' decide to destroy it.
20:22:35 er: And you never told me where you were going or offered to take me with
20:23:00 Devastator: ahh, thought I'd asked you, but that was the other mission, now that I think about it.
20:25:03 er: I'd have told you about my previous mission though, given its resolved and I wasn't told to keep it secret.
20:25:26 Devastator: get kidnapped and blow stuff up, acting as a trojan horse.
20:25:34 Devastator: It's effective, efficient, and competent.
20:26:53 er: But yeah, I totally think I could get away with "I don't have any assignments, what are you up to?"
20:27:11 Devastator: so going with that, and not just saying you're a spy?
20:27:47 Devastator: I'd say "Well, I'm headed up to the ruins of Gravid in order to recover an object and bring it back to a buyer in here."
20:28:55 Devastator: "The pay isn't super-great, though, so I'm hoping to find enough loot to make it valuable. I owe some money already, and have to make it back."
20:29:08 Devastator: "All those mercs at Lake Candentis were expensive."
20:31:49 Devastator: "Do you want to do something? I'm all ready to go, I just need to wait a week for my gryphon to finish growing so he can manage to carry everything we're bringing."
20:32:51 er: "Huh, person like you, I'd expect to be super-rich. I could help you out, if you like. Things are super slow at the moment around here."
20:34:07 Devastator: Well.. I don't get rich healing people for five gold each. It's enough so that I can pay the bills, but I don't really make a huge profit on it.
20:34:57 Devastator: I'm also not sure if you can help me out. I've hired everyone for this trip already, and I'm pretty much out of room. We're going by air, and we only have so much space.
20:38:04 er: You know that I'm strong, just swap me out for one of the people you hired.
20:38:28 er: It'll be cheaper too, cuase you don't have to pay me.
20:38:48 Devastator: well, my organizer is paying their salaries already.
20:39:16 Devastator: I mean, I could squeeze you on, but it'd mean less food. I'm already not really sure I can find it in a month.
20:39:41 Devastator: Tell you what, if I don't find it in a month, you can come when we resupply.
20:40:26 er: I'll probably have work by then, won't be available
20:40:57 Elastic_Ridicule has joined #einsteinianroulette
20:41:27 Devastator: Well, maybe next time.
20:41:36 Devastator: although if you want, be glad to give you a ride.
20:41:50 Devastator: He moves like a cannon, it's a lot of fun.
20:41:54 Elastic_Ridicule: Now really, you'd rather take along some hired lunk than a trainee mage breaker?
20:42:49 Elastic_Ridicule: I'm sure that Salt will come in handy, too.
20:43:02 Elastic_Ridicule: Zavi points to the baboon
20:43:06 Devastator: ..Yeah, I kinda would. I'm not sure my employer likes the magebreakers, personally.
20:43:20 Devastator: I mean, he was all secretive and there might be some funny business going on.
20:43:29 Elastic_Ridicule: All the more reason to have one along!
20:43:48 Devastator: You want to be there for the delivery, I'd gladly take you on.
20:43:50 Devastator: and pay you for it.
20:44:29 Devastator: I mean, that'd be great, escorting the thing up the path through the city is niice, even if I'm just carrying it in my magic backpack.
20:44:45 Devastator: but out in the woods, well, I'd rather be safe by running away if we run into anything big.
20:45:19 Elastic_Ridicule: ...What are you talking about?
20:45:42 Devastator: Well, instead of fighting it out with another giant bug or something, if we trigger something big we'll just all mount up and fly away.
20:46:07 Elastic_Ridicule: Well, obviously.
20:46:13 Devastator: since we're way out in the wilderness, we don't have anything in particular to defend, so we can think it out, get reinforcements, get sneaky, whatever we need to do, instead of just fighting it out.
20:46:44 Elastic_Ridicule: I'm really not sure what you're talking about right now.
20:46:59 Elastic_Ridicule is now known as ER
20:47:53 Devastator: hmm? Nah, just that we're not likely to fight anything interesting, just run away.
20:48:35 ER: Saeko, you know that I can do more than just fight things, right?
20:48:46 Devastator is now known as Saeko
20:49:27 Saeko looks at the trainee magebreaker, with the limited armour and the big weapon, and who just happily told me about exploding people to death
20:50:23 Zavirius: I exploded nobody to death! I knocked them out with poison!
20:50:37 Zavirius: And the armor's pretty nice, actually.
20:50:47 Saeko: "Yeah, it's new, isn't it? Nice of them to give you a set."
20:51:36 Zavirius: "Helmet's kinda dorky, but yeah. Guess I may as well have something between me and pointy death..."
20:51:56 Saeko: "Well, I'd be happy to buff it for you, if you want."
20:52:50 Zavirius: "Another spell exchange? Uh, sure, I guess?"
20:53:30 Saeko: "Dunno what I'd change it for. Do you have any other words than lightweight?"
20:54:29 Zavirius: "Sure, I have Toxin. All kinds of fun with that. Could make you immune to something?"
20:55:08 Saeko: "That is really good. Let me think."
20:55:08 Zavirius: "Or maybe enchant a weapon with sedative, so that you can knock people out and not have to kill them."
20:55:41 Saeko: "Nah, I don't use weapons. But maybe an amulet or a ring or something that grants immunity to poison. Then I could share it with a patient if I need to."
20:56:41 Saeko: "Hmm, yeah, I could have used some sedatives earlier. That'd be good too."
20:56:49 Zavirius: "Hmm, just poison in general? Not sure what that could do, really, boundries between things are a bit murky."
20:57:07 Saeko: "Although I'd want them to be more conventional. I can make more with my expand word, so do you think you can make enough to put in a jar?"
20:57:25 Saeko: "Then I can take some out, but fill the jar back up later."
20:57:35 Zavirius: "Could make medicene ineffective, almost certainly would keep you from getting drunk. Though that's not too bad a thing if you can take it off."
20:58:34 Zavirius: I'd like to make a jarful amount of magic sedative which cannot kill.
20:58:52 Saeko: "Maybe just resistance to toxins. I can heal people up if they don't die, and with an amulet you can take it off."
20:59:02 Saeko: "So you can still get drunk."
21:01:23 Saeko: (Plus sedative is good for you, too.)
21:01:38 Saeko: (I can totally see them wanting you to take someone prisoner at some point.)
21:03:01 Saeko: Assuming you want a buff to your armour to be d8 via Steel Strengthen.
21:03:04 Saeko: so I'll do that in return.
21:03:49 Zavirius: bah, where'd
Piecewise go
21:04:13 Saeko: we could continue with the talk about a berth.
21:08:02 Zavirius: I'm not fully clear on the meaning of the word berth.
21:08:14 Saeko: A space on a method of transportation.
21:09:10 Saeko: since we're going more than one day, it's not a seat or a place, but a berth.
21:11:22 Saeko: plus we don't have seats. You'll be strapped to a leather and metal harness sitting or lying down on a mass of fur and/or feathers.
21:11:46 Zavirius: "...I still don't see why you can't just leave one person behind."
21:12:37 Saeko: "I could, but I already interviewed everyone, checked them for spirits and other stowaways, and have their salaries paid by the organization. Plus a lot of them want to go, too."
21:13:36 Zavirius: Hey
Piecewise, is it true that there's no room or is he bullshitting me?
21:13:45 Zavirius: If it is your quest is bullshit.
21:13:59 Saeko: There's prooobably room, but I'd planned for a bigger benedict than I'm actually getting.
21:14:09 Saeko: so it should be cramped at the least.
21:14:39 Saeko: I'd certainly be possible to dump enough food to make space, but that'd cut down on the time limit.
21:16:28 Zavirius: "I can deal. I've lived in Alcahest on a budget for a long time, I don't need much space."
21:16:44 Saeko: "Well.. I suppose I could make room. Do you have any spare mana?"
21:16:57 Saeko: "Another spell would let me make space."
21:17:16 Zavirius: "Yeah, I could give you a decent amount."
21:18:31 Saeko: (I need either d8 or d10, to replace the d6 spell in the first slot.)
21:18:42 Saeko: (Or 20+spell to buy another enchantment slot.)
21:18:52 Saeko: and d6 -> d8 might not be enough.
21:19:16 Zavirius: I'll give you as much as a 10 costs
21:19:43 Saeko: Anything for the fare? You're going to be going to a place where there's lots of unexplored ruins and lots of ways to make money.
21:20:44 Zavirius: ((pfft, you're making me give you things because I have to insist on letting you bring me.))
21:20:58 Saeko: I have reasons to not want a magebreaker along.
21:21:17 Saeko: (I reallly don't want them to learn about Ekrov's sculpture.)
21:21:29 Saeko: (you know? They'd probably steal it and kill us both.)
21:22:28 Saeko: (I don't want that to happen.)
21:23:01 Saeko: (Plus.. I'm not actually getting paid for this. My pay is just costs.)
21:23:08 Zavirius: "Well let's see, I'm giving you, what? about 6 mana? Isn't that worth hundreds of gold?"
21:23:29 Saeko: "Yeah, but the bigger my gryphon gets, the more I have to feed him."
21:23:48 Saeko: "But if you're offering mana, 6 sounds like a good fare."
21:25:05 Zavirius: "Only as much as it costs to upsize Benny. I do still need some for myself. You may feel like running away from anything scary, but if that's not an option..."
21:26:12 Saeko: "Mmm.. well, then probably not. I'll probably need to shrink him down after the fact already, he's unreasonably large."
21:26:43 Saeko: 3 gold a day adds up fast.
21:26:55 Saeko: plus he's down here because he can't fit in the city above.
21:27:56 Zavirius: "Why even have him so big, if you're going to shrink him later?"
21:29:05 Saeko: "Because we're going a very long way, and I want him to be able to carry everyone at one go."
21:29:29 Zavirius: "And why do you need so many people?"
21:30:01 Saeko: "Because it's a whole city, scattered over many, many kilometers, and I'm looking for one item in it."
21:30:25 Saeko: "Frankly, I could find jobs for a hundred, but that's far beyond what's affordable or safe."
21:30:32 Zavirius: "And you're doing this for a job which only covers your costs."
21:31:43 Saeko: "I'm pretty sure the ancient magic city will have plenty of loot available."
21:32:19 Saeko: "Plus, with Benny, I've got a big advantage on exploring it, moving around, and hunting for stuff that's normally inaccessable to most people."
21:32:23 Zavirius: "You're just making this sound more and more boring."
21:32:53 Zavirius: fucking cave adventure flashbacks
21:32:54 Saeko: "Well.. to be fair, I don't really want another person."
21:33:21 Zavirius: "As you've said, numerous times."
21:36:32 Saeko: "So.. let me cast that spell, and pay a fare, and agree to give up the key item to us, if you find it first. Then you can come anyway."
21:36:48 Saeko: "Up to you if it's worth your time."
21:41:39 Zavirius: "Suppose I could find better ways to spend my life than looking for some ancient can opener in a giant city, but hey, I've never made an optimal desison in my life. I have some gems tucked away somewhere, suppose they're worth something to your alchemist friend?"
21:43:34 Saeko: "Although, if you just want a quick trip to somewhere else, I'm ok with giving you a ride to another city for like 10 gold."
21:43:50 Saeko: "No strings, no problem."
21:44:03 Saeko: "Too bad. Flyings awesome."
21:44:28 Zavirius: "I've tried it, and I can say it's not."
21:45:01 Saeko: "I suppose it's more fun when you have wings."
21:45:08 Saeko: "Can give you them if you want to pay for it."
21:45:40 Zavirius: "I'm already giving you most of what I have,
Saeko."
21:46:00 Saeko: "Well.. good luck then. Maybe you'll find something nice."
21:48:50 Saeko is now known as Devastator
22:04:03 Devastator: gotta get
PW to sort out those spells.
22:04:30 Devastator: magebreakers should be able to pay your bills for you. Timing's loose enough for you to go get your fare from them before you have to show up.
22:05:32 Devastator: I am a little weirded out because I said the client could give me someone to tag along and watch, but that offer was declined.
22:07:52 Devastator: and then that happens, but only by sneaking someone on.
22:42:02 Devastator: Anyway, thanks,
ER.
23:11:09 ER: cause it uses their AI stuff I guess
23:11:26 ER: I think you can download it from github and run it using something
23:11:31 Devastator: Yeah, but it could just give people per session stuff.
23:11:37 Devastator: and probably still require login.
23:11:44 Devastator: nah, not gonna bother.
23:12:03 ER: your toaster probably can't run this text adventure anyway~
23:15:04 ER: ""You decide to join the others and they're happy to let you join in. Soon you've
23:15:04 ER: killed everyone and eaten their flesh. You feel great. You eat more meat and
23:15:05 ER: drink more alcohol. You end up passing out drunk on top of the campfire and
23:15:53 Devastator: but I'd probably hit the seams, asking a word it hasn't heard of.
23:16:26 ER: You'll hit the seams regardless, that's not a goblin thing.
23:16:37 ER: And I think it's pretty much heard of all the words
23:16:56 ER: it's basically cleverbot but a GM and with slightly better memory
23:20:56 Devastator: Does it know what Stockholm Tar is?
23:22:29 ER: You think about stockholm tar and you realize that it's used to make gunpowder.
23:22:29 ER: You also realize that it's used to make explosives. You also remember that it's
23:22:29 ER: a strong flammable substance. You also remember that you once tried to use it
23:23:02 Devastator: Nope, doesn't know.
23:23:54 Devastator: It's another word for pine tar.
23:24:15 Devastator: it's flammable, but not that much, and you don't make bombs with it.
23:32:26 Devastator: oh well, looks neat.
23:32:31 Devastator: gotta let
PW know he'll be obsolete soon.
23:32:46 Devastator: see if it can kill you.
23:38:55 Devastator: Also, the price per mana was 25 gold/mana.
23:39:28 Devastator: until
RC's diamond roll, which is giving him a current price of 3 gold/mana, with 115 gold worth of diamonds = 30 mana. ;-p
23:41:26 Devastator: also, note that 99*30= 3000 mana.
23:44:22 Devastator: might want to call them like 1-2 mana each, representing a price of 25-50 gold each.
23:47:25 Devastator: the reason he's bugging you about it is you gave him a quote for 3000 mana,
Piecewise.
23:49:47 Devastator: which is equivalent to saving 12 cities worth of people from long-running destructive threats. ;-p
23:56:31 Devastator: or about 12 years worth of work.
