03:04:08 Devastator: is "Clench self mentally" valid orders?
03:25:41 Devastator: how's Roll to Knight?
03:28:32 ER: strangely, the tiny baby men aren't also running away
03:37:25 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:41:31 Devastator: only a couple days before I can get a vaccine shot.
03:42:05 Devastator: well, probably another week or so after they open appointments.
03:42:11 Devastator: then another week to get the shot.
03:43:13 MidJag: I have like two weeks before my second dose.
03:44:12 Devastator: agg, the anxiety strikes!
03:44:15 Devastator: I'll read in a minute.
03:44:48 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:45:33 Devastator: there's also the annual SMB3 points race.
03:50:03 syv: I started teaching a really really talented mapmaker Python.
03:50:23 MidJag: nice. I might buck up and learn some progamming over the summer.
03:50:31 MidJag: It depends on how busy I am.
03:50:51 syv: It's also making me learn more python. I've always just used it for really basic scripts, but I'm wanting to do more to help make tools.
03:51:42 MidJag: I had a semi formal, and then the alumni tailgate so the amount of alcholol I've consumed over the past three days is disturbing.
03:52:10 MidJag: High. I forgot how much the alumni can drink.
03:52:18 MidJag: ...And how much I can drink.
03:53:48 MidJag: But it was fun, everyone was outside and a decent number of people were at least partially vaccinated. So it was fun, it felt a lot more like pre covid then anything.
03:54:24 MidJag: Weather was beutifal, my data was fun. All in all a good weekend.
03:55:06 Devastator: weather is just lovely up here atm.
03:55:12 Devastator: three days of warm sun.
03:55:21 syv: We've had thunderstorms the last couple days.
03:55:39 syv: And even some thunder overnight, which was awful
03:55:52 MidJag: Yeah, it's been great. It's that perfect time where it's right after it's stopped raining, and it's right before it get's hot as hell.
03:56:22 syv: Over the last fifteen night shifts, I've had two nighttime thunderstorms.
03:56:33 syv: Both from the last couple days.
03:57:26 Devastator: how many last year that you can remember?
04:08:39 Devastator: The one I'm watching currently features someone in a painful, painful self-own.
04:10:44 Devastator: guy on the right, halfway through world 3.
04:12:40 syv: God, I don't know. The number of shifts I work varies wildly.
04:14:55 Devastator: picked up a coin ship by not being careful about coin counts.
04:14:59 Devastator: and then was forced to play it.
04:15:15 Devastator: losing a bunch of time, points for dying, and points for killing the wrong hammer brother.
04:18:18 Devastator: the good kind, yum.
04:18:29 Devastator: very meat, so fat, such wow?
04:19:45 Devastator: okay, got up the nerve to read it.
04:33:15 Devastator: I've never seen so much bad luck and poor play combined.
04:33:47 syv: Jeez, you should watch me play surviv more. :v
04:34:09 Devastator: nah, that guy is something special. What an awful run he's having.
04:34:44 Devastator: can't help but think I'm making a horrible mistaking trying to keep some of the shiny in Revenant, even if it's just a tiny bit.
04:34:49 Devastator: can't give up shiny.
04:34:54 syv: Nerves, maybe? Messing up on stream, during a tourney, is rough.
04:37:38 Devastator: ouch getting bad luck on top of that.
04:41:48 GameServ:
ER rolled 3d6: 4 4 1 <Total: 9(+1) = 10>
04:51:49 Devastator: yeah, gave Shalva her new body..
04:52:04 Devastator: and you're better at convincing than bird can do by trying to Semblance the fire down and going 'caw'
04:52:11 Devastator: but I'll try that next.
04:55:12 syv: I'm not sure Shalva remembers that.
04:55:37 syv: She's just really nice and the bird seems... well, something like an ally.
04:55:44 syv: In a similar situation, at any rate.
05:01:57 Devastator: Shalva doesn't remember that the bird gave her a body?
05:03:47 syv: I don't think she noticed initially.
05:04:03 syv: Bird landed on her while she was having a breakdown, she got body, she was just confused.
05:13:24 Devastator: "Race two is always better than race one sometimes."
05:17:20 Devastator: so anymore drunk shows,
MidJag?
05:17:50 MidJag: Not really, I watched What we Do in the Shadows, which is hilairous, but not something I think the group would enjoy
05:22:00 MidJag: It's essentially very incompetnet vampires hang out in a suburb of new york
05:26:37 Devastator: also.. I think I promised to run something.
05:26:49 Devastator: I have an idea, but didn't polish it. Could we start tomorrow night?
05:27:07 Devastator: it'll be basically an improvisational style text adventure thingy.
05:28:38 Devastator: nothing too fancy, but I think I can run it.
05:29:27 MidJag: I unfortunetly will be busy tommorow night
05:30:39 Devastator: ahh. well, promised you it,
ER. You around tomorrow?
06:12:51 syv: Hey
Dev, do you know any RPG systems that have interesting social mechanics? Like persuasion/manipulation being systematized?
06:13:12 Devastator: Some more than others, but in general none come to mind.
06:14:52 syv: I find myself really wanting to try making something like that.
06:15:07 syv: It's just not something I can recall being done particularly well anywhere.
06:16:28 MidJag: Doesn't that samurai game, 5 kingdoms do something like it?
06:20:11 syv: PS:T mostly just had skill checks.
06:20:40 syv: It was written well, but didn't have a particularly interesting system underlying it.
06:20:55 syv: Hell, a great deal of it was "do you have the minimum stat to say the good thing?"
06:22:34 MidJag: IIRC there's like a stat based around like social damage and combat and such
06:22:46 MidJag: I dunno, it's been a while since I read about it
06:23:41 syv: "Originally written by John Wick"
06:23:50 syv: A true master of social resolutions to conflict.
06:24:04 MidJag: Hey, terror is a solution to social conflict
