03:37:03 Devastator: "Also, I love how foreignness is apparently a disease that can be cured. Chalana Arroy can heal anything."
03:41:54 Devastator: healer goddess heroquest is pretty easy.
03:42:08 ER: I have never played this game
03:42:42 Devastator: it's also filled with healing all kinds of stuff that makes no sense.
04:09:18 Devastator: wizard duel? Or the worst luck in the world?
04:18:28 Devastator: Oh man, never seen that one before.
04:18:36 Devastator: the new king got murdered because he fucked up the kinging ritual.
04:46:35 Devastator: the fun when having a heroically skilled fighter.
04:46:39 Devastator: I should stop posting them now.
04:46:44 Devastator: at least ones that odn't involve ducks.
06:40:56 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:41:27 syv: If you successfully let Sartark get revenge, will he become *your* awesome heroic warrior?
06:42:25 ER: ya gotta celebrate, every chance you get!
06:43:09 Devastator: Yes, particularly good weaponthanes get deliberately called out in battle, and I think they count for more combat power.
06:43:17 ER: not sure why I'm still awake. Other than that I was awake this time last night. that about explains it, actually~
06:44:26 Devastator: and yes, successful combat events like that will boost the noble's stats.
06:44:32 Devastator: although that guy had insane stats.
06:45:35 syv: I would expect insane stats from a warrior who literally *flies above the battlefield*
06:46:28 Devastator: That's the enemy guy. There's a few times where you get options to do similar, usually when a magic-giften noble gets 'use battle magic' options.
06:46:46 Devastator: Also, that flying guy isn't the worst guy you can run into.
06:46:57 syv: Oh, so Sartark doesn't fly? He was just enchanted there?
06:47:33 syv: I was going to make breakfast, but I sat down for a moment to think about what to make and open IRC.
06:47:48 syv: A kitten almost immediately found its way onto my lap, and now I am pinned...
06:48:32 Devastator: Yeah. There are a few special guys of that faction who can do the 'fly on demand, all the time' thing, but they're special sacred warriors who don't belong to any one clan.
06:48:54 Devastator: Some guys can do it for a while, or throw thunderbolts and such.
06:49:08 Devastator: still, second worst thing you can run into when attacking.
06:50:07 syv: The kitten got off of me and ten seconds later a new kitten has appeared
06:50:16 Devastator: Worst is running into an enemy noble channeling the god of, sun, horses, and hearth defense. He's literally invincible unless you have an amazingly skilled magician/leader of the chief god, and make three difficult rolls in succession. Or win the battle via the auto-kill trump everything artifact.
06:50:20 Devastator: they're spawning. ;-p
06:50:52 Devastator: There is a duck duelist event, where the duck has a one-shot 'kill anyone' enchantment.
06:51:18 syv: >Send peasant to fight duck
06:51:47 Devastator: That's how you resolve that properly, actually.
06:53:16 Devastator: although instead of peasant it's 'full time soldier'
06:53:30 Devastator: but they're easier to replace than heros.
06:55:29 Devastator: Oh, the chief god guy convinces him magically that he's come back home and the quester can celebreate his success now.
06:55:43 Devastator: ..hence ending the channelling process.
06:56:01 Devastator: it's still extremely hard because that's actually part of the quest, where someone tries to trick him into doing just that.
06:59:17 syv: That sounds like the kind of thing that would happen to the hero of a classic hero's journey story, but he'd break out of it last minute and kill the trickster mage.
06:59:46 syv: Can you still lose even if you pull that off?
06:59:59 syv: I want a steak but am lazy.
07:00:03 Devastator: you can lose the battle even if you pull that off, yes.
07:00:13 Devastator: because KoDP is very, very random.
07:00:20 Devastator: but you will do better.
07:00:34 Devastator: And if you don't do that, you literally can't win.
07:01:13 syv: Still, amusing to think of the writeup for that.
07:01:50 Devastator: I failed the last check last time I got that, which was annoying.
07:02:14 syv: A long talk about this invulnerable warrior and the rapid, emergency counterplay involving a super powerful spellcaster tricking him and then surprise attacking him, successfully overcoming the greatest possible challenge...
07:02:22 syv: Followed by "but we lost anyway"
07:03:10 Devastator: "Because Fuck the Blue Jays. ;-p"
07:03:29 syv: I don't know that reference.
07:03:34 Devastator: this guy's having trouble with them because he missed a key point, they're one of the clans who moved in here early and have an extra fortification that isn't available to you.
07:03:42 Devastator: eh, just the name of the clan that magic user belonged to.
07:11:24 Devastator: ..I did Extinction earlier.
07:11:26 syv: Currently dealing with life.
07:12:00 ER: look at these guys, *dealing*
07:12:12 syv: Sometime *after* I post in all these games I'm a player in.
07:12:28 syv: It is very debatable whether I'm managing.
07:14:00 syv: Would your char in Verloren still be a sociopath, Egan?
07:14:42 syv: I think your cyborg will murder you.
07:15:26 ER: Well, if I'm successful the verloren won't notice I'm a sociopath
07:15:56 syv: Children are remarkably perceptive at times.
07:15:57 ER: other people might, but the idea is to still *act* like I care
07:19:12 syv: I wonder how that'll come across.
07:23:12 ER: *somebody's* gotta get shot
07:31:18 syv: If nobody gets shot, you're not doing your job.
07:31:36 syv: I need to stop making narrative games.
07:32:10 ER: the alternative is uninteresting~
07:33:42 syv: Kaiju com isn't a narrative game.
07:33:47 syv: And it's very interesting.
07:36:39 Devastator: sorry, but I can't think of a way to make it a narrative game with five organizations.
07:36:41 syv: Should I not make games I find interesting?
07:36:53 Devastator: also, I suck at narrative.
07:37:18 syv: Make everything secret and have every person's updates be given through NPCs that tell them their own biased views.
07:38:11 syv: And
ER, you'd still enjoy it if I made a narrative game about managing a mercenary company consisting of berserker catgirls.
07:38:28 syv: NOT narrative, damn it! >.<
07:39:24 ER: only if it came with acceptable flavor text
07:40:10 syv: Maybe I could make a narrative suggestion game about a Nekobutcher attempting to escape from the Emerald Robin labs.
07:40:40 ER: I'm pretty sure I made sure they were volenteers
07:48:57 Devastator: you haven't made any yet.
07:49:10 Devastator: you're researching the prototype. You can choose that when you actually build them.
07:49:37 ER: what does the prototype consist of
07:51:15 Devastator: the suits, and the course of Science! related stuff it takes to make nekobutchers.
07:52:05 syv: Does it make any difference whether they're volunteers?
07:52:26 syv: ...Actually, that would make sense as a mechanic. You *already* have escape mechanics, for mad science.
07:52:50 ER: convincing them to fight if they're not soldiers might be difficult
07:52:55 syv: And it'd make sense as a designed flaw. Cheaper cost, but no consent, so they try to escape.
07:53:05 syv: Just some mental conditioning, that's all.
07:53:07 ER: and soldiers would know how to use rocket launchers
07:53:37 syv: Are you strictly using women?
07:54:10 syv: Well, I guess you could be turning men into catgirls.
07:54:47 syv: I feel like that would somehow be a harder sell than convincing men to charge a kaiju with a greatsword.

14:47:40 syv: The four hunters manhunt was great.
14:48:11 syv: I suspect he can do five, but I think that would require a fair amount of luck, and would be *veeeery* close in even the best case.

23:36:10 Devastator: if they do, he's toast.
23:38:10 Devastator: like they should have a guy gathering more stuff while they're in the nether, for insatnc.e
23:39:23 ER: if they play better they'll do better, you mean
23:41:57 Devastator: although I dont' think they'd have to play better, just use better strategy.
