00:51:45 Devastator: Well, got an idea for handling the maginuke.
00:51:54 Devastator: Also, that's ~22,000 mana.
00:52:03 Devastator: it's not unreasonable for a whole city, mind you.
01:01:28 Piecewise: sneaky cabal turn today
01:01:45 Devastator: and it's implied there's more.
01:02:30 Devastator: anyway, I do have an idea to handle the nuke, but I'll need
syv to work out the details.
01:05:40 Devastator: would have been easier with 'contain', 'control' and/or 'magic'
01:07:49 Devastator: Tempted to try again at some point.
01:07:57 Devastator: those ears should roll over to d10 eventually.
01:26:04 Devastator: you know the odds of hitting a city with the special rules are about 1/30.
01:31:58 Devastator: "They ordered Sir Dufton Sturdy, with two battlecruisers, HMS Invincible, and HMS Inflexable, ..."
03:27:50 Devastator: barrel of magicoal?
04:17:52 Elastic_Ridicule has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:17:59 Elastic_Ridicule is now known as ER
04:56:23 Devastator: well, we're all dead. ;-p
04:58:11 Devastator: prooobably not going to happen.
04:58:31 Devastator: oh well, I said you could have whatever reward you wanted.
05:09:04 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:27:51 MidJag: not bad, been busy. but not bad
05:33:22 Devastator: any Terranigma tonight,
ER?
06:42:17 MidJag has left #einsteinianroulette
07:25:28 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:26:35 Devastator: the other shoe dropped.
07:26:54 Devastator: the threat showed up.
07:28:22 Devastator: the giant pile of unstable ordinance.
07:28:41 syv: Yeah, the magicoal is what you're calling the threat?
07:28:54 Devastator: The pile that looks like it'll blow up, that
ER's gonna go poke.
07:29:17 Devastator: It is that way until it explodes.
07:29:21 ER: draining it slowly is literally one of the ways recommended to deal with it
07:30:11 syv: She can stop a runaway event.
07:30:20 Devastator: That's some fast reflexes.
07:30:27 Devastator: but yeah, I hope it doesn't blow up.
07:30:37 Devastator: I'd feel better if you tried to explosion-proof the walls first.
07:30:42 Devastator: be glad to pay mana for that.
07:35:39 syv: Why don't you get +5 in everything before touching the bomb?
07:36:02 syv: The small barrels are safe, and have way more than enough mana in them.
07:38:44 Devastator: +5 in everything is..
07:39:01 Devastator: 150 per stat, yeah affordable.
07:39:13 Devastator: dunno, I'd be glad to put a bunch to make it easier.
07:44:24 ER: +5 in everything? kinda insane
07:44:37 Devastator: there's enough mana around for that.
07:44:39 syv: Yeah, that's Dubs for you.
07:44:51 Devastator: I think that we're going to get attacked by the magebreakers now that we found all this.
07:44:55 Devastator: they'll just want to take all of it.
07:45:25 ER: I'm sure that the core is worth more than everything else combined
07:45:47 syv: If it were, we wouldn't be retrieving this.
07:46:01 Devastator: ..no, probably not.
07:46:03 Elasticly_Rigid has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:46:04 syv: You don't send mercenaries to go retrieve your nuclear arsenal.
07:46:04 Devastator: the core is unique.
07:46:11 Devastator: and likely extremely valuable.
07:46:20 Devastator: ..but so is a pile of 22,000 mana.
07:46:33 syv: It's not a pile of 22,000 mana.
07:46:44 Devastator: Well, no, it's a stack of barrels containing 22,000 mana.
07:46:47 Devastator: hell, the pile might have more.
07:46:54 syv: We've got a stockpile of 22,000 mana, which is the *small* amount.
07:47:55 syv: Straight up, Saeko could use this to give herself across the board d20+5, and have plenty of mana left over.
07:48:09 syv: Ekrov could summon an army on a scale to go conquering.
07:48:24 Devastator: Zavi could blow up the planet.
07:48:28 Devastator: well, probably not, but maybe.
07:48:50 syv: Either the mage breakers are so overpowered that players cannot conceivably fight them in anything approaching fair circumstances, or this is a nuclear arsenal.
07:48:57 Devastator: It's just too much. I think we'll probably get attacked for having it.
07:49:19 syv: Luckily, we don't have a time limit.
07:49:27 Devastator: so..
ER, what's Zavi going to do? I don't want to let them know about it.
07:51:36 Elasticly_Rigid: What do you think I'm going to do?
07:52:12 syv: At this point, I'm starting to think you might just kill us all. There's really no reason to touch the large pile yet, and it does have some risk.
07:52:15 Devastator: Go back, be all glowy from max stats, and tell them we found a nuclear arsenal.
07:52:28 Devastator: unless we all get blown out of existance.
07:59:23 Devastator: Zavi okay with lying to them?
07:59:54 Elasticly_Rigid: Is there a good reason to?
08:00:25 syv: They're dystopian enforcers?
08:00:31 Devastator: So our characters, (you should be fine) don't get murdered by the magebreakers comign after the five-digit pile of mana.
08:01:18 syv: I'unno, I kinda feel like "not giving nukes to the dystopia" is a fairly decent reason to not give nukes to the dystopia.
08:02:55 Devastator: If you do, we're still quite happy to have you leave with a big pile of mana and max stats.

08:12:24 ER: oh dear, GWG killed
syv and took his place
08:13:07 syv: I am
syv, there's many convincing reasons for why
08:14:05 Devastator: well, we can talk after we see if we're all a glowing hole in the universe.
08:14:36 ER: If it's dangerous,
PW will probably tell me
08:15:02 Devastator: but he knows how much I like danger.
08:15:07 ER: If you want me to lie in my report... that will have to be in IC thing.
08:15:17 Devastator: and I made the suggestion that eventually lead to the interpretation that was nukedoor.
08:17:10 Devastator: lemme write up my actions first.
08:17:12 ER: I'm draining the large storage because that was recommended in the turn. If you want me on the small storage that's fine too.
08:17:55 Devastator: Mostly worried about kaboom.
08:18:10 Devastator: maybe let Ekrov examine it first, he's the thinky guy.
08:19:16 Devastator: Everyone's dumb compared to his d12+2.
08:19:19 Devastator: but yeah, that's a fair point.
08:24:33 ER: okay, that's 1740 mana for all my stats?
08:25:41 Devastator: don't think it's that much.
08:25:54 Devastator: 10+20+30+40+50 for one maxed.
08:26:35 Devastator: well, probably pay you off in full barrels, anyway.
08:28:14 ER: I've spent 120 already, which looks laughably minisqule in comparison
08:28:48 ER: which is... less than you have.
08:28:50 Devastator: well, it looks like average to max stats is a bit more than a full barrel.
08:28:56 Devastator: so two barrels should do then.
08:29:39 Devastator: That's true, but you should be safe against getting murdered for finding that much.
08:30:50 Devastator: too much and they might confiscate it from you.

09:22:59 syv: ...If only there were autoupdaters for *our* games.
09:23:29 ER: might be some bugs still though
09:26:37 ER: lets see, (6d20+20)*(3d20) is correct?
09:27:55 syv: Luckily, the halting problem is easy to solve when the computers are people.
09:28:18 ER: and of course, we die before updating
09:28:44 Devastator: it's [3*(3d20+10)]d20
09:28:45 syv: As for the die thing, it's not correct for the mana amount available, no.
09:29:00 syv: But I'm not sure what it's supposed to be.
09:29:13 Devastator: but anydice chokes on that.
09:30:26 Devastator: No, that's stupid, no.
09:30:35 Devastator: There's no reason to give you an unopened barrel.
09:30:42 Devastator: open the barrel up and give you X pieces.
09:30:48 ER: "maximum execution time of 5 second exceeded"
09:31:24 Devastator: with a completely full barrel of 70 pieces, that's 210d20
09:31:37 ER: the flow of time is convoluted in lordran
09:32:27 Devastator: median is 2205 mana, which is enough for max stats with room to spare.
09:32:59 Devastator: paying off Zavi with a completely full barrel.
09:33:10 Devastator: instead of an unopened mystery barrel.
09:34:22 syv: Do we even know if Zavi is gonna not just take her fill then just chill?
ER? I'd expect you to just chill, knowing you.
09:35:36 syv: There's also not really much of any reason to set a specific amount of mana. I mean, I guess just giving her a barrel to carry around might make sense, since it's still an arbitrarily large amount that she'll never run through, but it's not like giving her five barrels would actually impact us much at all.
09:36:05 Devastator: just wandering adventurer with a cart full of mana..
09:36:12 Devastator: I mean, one barrel is really all you can carry at once.
09:37:11 ER: I was going to take whatever's in large storage because again, nobody else can really get at it and ignore the rest, but you've insisted that I do this first.
09:38:16 Devastator: large storage might pay off only slowly.
09:38:23 syv: I think all of us could carry 100% of the magicoal, actually. Unless Dubs puts in rules about a mana cap, we can just store 22k magic and be fine. Presumably.
09:38:29 Devastator: and might have like 200,000 mana in it.
09:38:57 Devastator: I don't.. I want to have some of it used for thaumic devices, rather than just stuff for mages.
09:39:02 Devastator: and sell some of it for money.
09:39:13 ER: honestly, having a lot of mana might have some effect
09:39:34 syv: It probably will, knowing Dubs. But I kinda doubt it'll be a problem.
09:39:42 Devastator: Dunno the most anyone's had. I had 270 at one moment.

19:27:15 Piecewise: Well, better stats always help, though you would still just be one man
19:30:30 er: Well, there should be some mana left over, and guaranteed success on d6 spells of any category could help force multiply past "one man" territory.

23:05:43 er: Due to their potential as planet-atomizing super weapons, all FTL drives are banned by the supreme emperor on earth.
23:06:37 er: The ban was issued 20 years ago. At its farthest reaches, the empire extends 130 light years from earth.
23:08:04 er: Because the only known means of faster than light communication is faster than light travel, the authorities can't arrest you for using FTL outside a 20 LY bubble around earth without basically admitting to breaking the same law.
