00:19:36 Devastator: 'lo
00:19:41 ER: hi
00:19:44 Devastator: heya ER.
00:20:53 Devastator: aww, 1d10
00:21:03 Devastator: not enough to keep up standards, then. ;-p
00:43:40 ER: hmm
00:44:00 ER: in your opinion, what do you think the dnd spell "detect evil" should do
00:47:26 Devastator: detect evil.
00:47:35 ER: neat
00:48:03 Devastator: if you're translating it into a setting that either doesn't have alignments or has different ones, it's less obvious.
00:49:04 ER: yeah but, in a setting with Evil, what counts as evil enough to set it off?
00:49:18 ER: mortal people doing evil things? Only outsiders?
00:49:53 Devastator: aligned outsiders, aligned magic (and humans who can cast them.)
00:50:06 Devastator: I'd say yeah for mortals, but I can see a world where it only detects those.
00:51:26 Devastator: if how much evil, i'unno. Your call, really.
00:52:36 ER: and if it can detect evil deeds done by energetically-neutral people, does that mean that all practice of good and evil deeds is caused or mediated by outside forces? :P
01:06:41 Devastator: well, yes.
01:07:05 Devastator: hmm.
01:07:20 Devastator: hey, Piecewise, can I tell how much magical oomph it'd take to raise those stats to the next tier?
01:08:38 Devastator: if someone's asking for a d12 or a d20, need bigger spells.
01:09:59 Piecewise: +1 would be like d10
01:10:01 Devastator: also might have to name those people.
01:10:12 Piecewise: I forget if we ever did~
01:10:18 Devastator: Nope.
01:11:10 ER: hey Piecewise, how much could I learn about the human I'm sensing using, like, a d20 scying spell using only Human?
01:11:31 ER: Don't think I have any other words that would work, but I'm very curious about this
01:12:12 Devastator: I'd try that and see..
01:12:22 Devastator: and +1 for the speed should be easier.
01:29:40 Devastator: mmm.
01:29:49 Devastator: might do the d10 anyway and maybe it'll be +2!
01:32:19 Piecewise: A fair bit ER
01:33:28 ER: would they give me 5 mana for that? I don't wanna have 25% chance to autofail due to mana
01:45:39 Devastator: "Look game, I didn't chase after her escaping me, because she litereally ran away to hell."
01:46:07 ER: if you're not willing to visit hell, I don't even know what you're doing
01:46:58 Devastator: Well, it gives you less leverage when making threats.
01:47:05 Devastator: "I'll send you to hell!"
01:49:09 Piecewise: They'd hand you some mana
02:20:19 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
02:21:23 er has joined #einsteinianroulette
02:25:05 er: Not Flesh, Yet Alive
04:04:48 er has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
04:33:01 Devastator: happy independance day.
05:21:18 Devastator: Ahh, that's an explanation of what the guy likes if not that.
05:21:24 Devastator: fan of Jack Vance.
05:21:51 Devastator: sadly, I've only read a tiny bit of him, so that information gives me no insight as to why that would influence his opinions, but it's a starting point.
05:29:23 Devastator: mmm
05:29:25 Devastator: :-)
07:44:38 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:44:49 Devastator: heya syv.
07:45:04 Devastator: gonna make one rules change in the future. Gonna give you guys a deployment roll bonus for a battle near your base.
07:45:26 syv: heya dev.
07:45:30 Devastator: I'm still writing it up.
07:45:43 syv: But not during the likely one single battle where it'd matter for me? :v
07:46:24 Devastator: Yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't have it as a rule at the time.
07:46:31 Devastator: and didn't have it during the previous battle in Peru.
07:47:21 syv: Ah well.
07:47:56 Devastator: and it wouldn't be a simple thing to change.
07:48:32 syv: Lube experiments are neat.
07:48:50 Devastator: Yeah.
07:49:01 Devastator: gonna equip the soldiers next turn, and do a last bit of shopping.
07:49:15 Devastator: and then.. think it's time to go build that mansion.
07:49:16 syv: I really like how the lube can basically shift a chemical's physical phase. Could have 200 c ice.
07:49:21 Devastator: unless there's anything you're missing in the city?
07:49:26 syv: Or -40 steam.
07:49:31 syv: Nah, don't think so.
07:49:35 Devastator: Yeah, might be some interesting things to do with that.
07:50:05 Devastator: guide-bot doesn't seem as useful. Maybe just use it upon returning to the city?
07:50:22 Devastator: or we could just keep it as a butler or C-3PO or something.
07:50:26 Devastator: and book translations.
07:50:27 syv: If nothing else it's a working brain I can rip out and put in something more useful.
07:50:44 syv: I've barely asked it anything, anyway. It surely has a lot of knowledge locked away.
07:51:10 Devastator: Yes.
07:51:19 Devastator: Could ask it what was going on when it was deactivated.
07:51:26 Devastator: lore questions and such like that too.
07:53:06 syv: I'm not fully sure I understood the hard water experiment. If it means what I think it means, I might be able to manipulate the amount of a physical trait by shifting it around, even without actually changing it.
07:53:16 Devastator: Yeah, probably.
07:53:31 Devastator: can I borrow the lube for weapon changes?
07:53:39 syv: Which isn't even all that odd; I can lower the amount of life in a system by moving life to things which do not support life, which does change the properties only by making changes.
07:53:45 Devastator: ie, gear changes this thign.
07:53:50 syv: I'm gonna keep answering that the same way.
07:54:00 syv: Please don't touch my lube. Ask me to do things for you.
07:54:11 syv: I don't want you to go and do something crazy that locks it for a month.
07:54:48 syv: Yes, if Saeko asked Ekrov if she could use his lube, he'd happily toss it to her. But Ekrov is a lovestruck idiot.
07:54:52 Devastator: That's fine.
07:55:05 Devastator: If ekrov does it and saeko can watch that's fine.
07:55:13 Devastator: and no, nothing big.
07:56:23 Devastator: I just haven't wrote it, so can't say, "I'll do X."
07:56:27 Devastator: want to think some more first.
07:56:41 syv: That's fine.
07:56:50 Devastator: Also, happy because I found the issue with that last broken washing machine.
07:57:02 Devastator: That's everything working now.
07:57:03 syv: I suggest you post in IRC once you have your request, I keep better track of logs than threads.
07:57:06 Devastator: Sure.
07:57:11 syv: Wow, everything?
07:57:39 syv: Is that an unusual state of affairs, or does this mean something new will break in a couple days?
07:57:40 Devastator: Mmm.
07:57:48 Devastator: It means something new will break soon.
07:58:06 Devastator: it's not thaaat unusual, but it's only the case about one week every month.
07:58:18 Devastator: there's enough machines there there is always something brokne.
07:58:46 syv: How much work do you have besides fixing broken machines?
07:59:49 Devastator: There's fixing broken machines and there's doing regular maintenance.
08:00:43 Devastator: there's also stuff like moving around chemicals, doing paperwork, and just more general stuff like cleaning.
08:00:59 Devastator: there's also a few other small tasks.
08:02:30 syv: Sounds like quite the assortment.
08:04:11 Devastator: yeah.
08:04:50 Devastator: been busy since business picked back up.
08:05:20 syv: Province still handling coronavirus well?
08:05:27 Devastator: Yes.
08:05:44 Devastator: Might have another outbreak in the future, but things have been improving in the country in general.
08:06:38 syv: That's good. I hope we don't end up making this worse for Canada than it should be.
08:08:10 Devastator: It'll be ok. We had our own issues with getting a lid on it, but things have come around well.
08:08:43 Devastator: Lowe has had some good news updates lately about the vaccine progression.
08:10:35 Devastator: Good luck down there.
08:12:06 syv: Yeah.
08:12:25 syv: Ekdest sister might have it. Caught something in the hospital.
08:13:08 syv: Young, so probably no lasting effects, at least.
08:14:26 Devastator: Yeah. And there's been some improvements to treatments now.
08:19:38 Devastator: mmm
08:20:35 Devastator: I remain completely baffled at what way Order of the Stick will develop.
08:22:03 syv: I haven't checked it in awhile.
08:22:12 syv: Might as well look at it now, it's slow.
09:21:30 syv has quit [Quit: You hear a distant scream of "FUCK T-MOBILE!"]
13:25:13 Piecewise has quit [Quit: Leaving]
20:49:42 er has joined #einsteinianroulette
20:59:00 er: Yey
20:59:03 er: PS
20:59:10 er: For me•
21:46:06 parisbre56[Away] is now known as parisbre56
21:46:22 parisbre56: damn you syv for tempting me! :P
21:46:38 parisbre56 is now known as parisbre56[Away]
21:56:08 Devastator: Hey.
21:56:19 Devastator: posted the battle, er, parisbre56
21:56:22 Devastator: if you're interested.
22:00:49 er: parisbre, this is a strange context in which to think "beach episode" and so I'm surprised that you thought it too. :p
22:12:45 parisbre56[Away] is now known as parisbre56
22:13:23 parisbre56: hey, you're the one that started talking about the two of us swimming
22:13:48 parisbre56: I just took it to the logical conclusion~
22:14:01 Devastator: heya paris.
22:14:08 parisbre56: it's either that or a hot springs episode
22:14:20 Devastator: hmm.
22:14:31 parisbre56: but hot springs have more love-related connotations
22:14:37 parisbre56: so no on that
22:14:38 Devastator: I'm sure giant wolf can screw up the hot-springs episode. ;-p
22:14:46 Devastator: nah, just be ignorant of it.
22:14:52 parisbre56 is now known as parisbre56[Away]
22:15:13 Devastator: ..also, hot tubs are awesome.
22:15:20 Devastator: they're like really common up here because it gets cold.
22:18:58 Devastator: I don't have one, but a good few people I know do.
22:53:43 er: Luv
22:57:08 Devastator: mmm.
22:57:17 Devastator: how's the battle?
23:47:33 Devastator: also, no draggy.
23:47:38 Devastator: guess draggy's dead.
23:47:40 Devastator: :-(
