02:06:54 syv: I've played Paranoia once. With B12ers
02:07:21 syv: Only lasted one session IIRC
02:08:18 ER: I now have a new, undamaged laptop charger!
02:08:26 ER: the part it plugs into is still mangled
02:08:48 ER: as is basically everything along the joint
02:09:30 ER: and also the rubbery bit along the bottom sometimes feels like peeling away, which I guess I could solve by adding some new glue but I'm not so clever
03:09:23 Devastator: well, got markers and a pile of index cards.
03:29:29 Devastator: I'm the proud owner of the one and only set of Tidak Sopani playing cards.
03:36:05 ER: gotta draw pretty elemental card art or it's not a real deck
03:49:14 Devastator: Just made it extremely basic.
03:49:24 Devastator: need skill to make real art, even bad real art.
03:49:30 Devastator: maybe later, I have 300 cards.
03:49:40 Devastator: and only used like 62
03:52:12 syv: A full deck and two jokers~?
03:52:23 syv: Not mistakes, no, no, jokers
03:56:40 Devastator: 60 cards, but I made two mistakes.
04:10:50 Devastator: can you list Trence's hand again?
04:16:30 Devastator: 9 of lightning, 5 of fire, 9 of cold, 5 of cold, 2 of cold?
04:17:17 Devastator: I think we're rolling.
04:44:27 Devastator:
syv, you draw the 9 of Water and the 10 of Fire.
06:16:01 Devastator: you discard your hand.
06:16:14 Devastator: ie, doesn't put more chips in.
06:34:10 syv: Will there be another discard phase after this one?
06:35:24 Devastator: then final bets and showdown.
06:37:10 ER: does the term "showdown" come from card games?
06:37:14 syv: The kid asking about the rules of the game sounds like someone you can beat.
06:37:56 Devastator: showdown is not a new word, nor is it particularly restricted to card games.
06:38:32 Devastator: everyone discarded two cards,
syv.
06:38:40 ER: card games are pretty old too
06:39:16 Devastator: and no, after reading your post, this is the final discard phase.
06:39:27 Devastator: I thought you meant 'this one' as in during the last update.
06:39:34 Devastator: there are two chances to discard.
06:41:12 Devastator: summoning salt has a new video on the 16 star SM64 world record.
06:41:26 Devastator: Starts off by saying that 'for years, everyone though 70 stars was the minimum needed.'
06:41:40 Devastator: BLJing was known less than a year in.
06:41:47 Devastator: which knocked it down to 30.
06:42:32 Devastator: mips wasn't known then, though.
06:42:40 syv: We can't discard now, is that right?
06:42:53 syv: Everyone bets, then everyone discards?
06:45:22 syv: ...I find it amusing that we actually did get a triple 9, which
NJW suggested as the outcome to gamble on.
06:45:36 syv: When that was perhaps the least likely result.
06:46:14 Devastator: it wasn't super unlikely.
06:46:29 Devastator: but yeah, a nice result.
06:47:07 ER: is this a standard playing set for this setting
06:49:06 Devastator: The kids aren't really gamblers, but yes.
06:59:26 syv: ...Is having two tens worth 18 points? 10+10-2 for dupe?
07:00:44 syv: Then yeah, we don't have to worry about that either.
07:01:38 syv: Do discards get reshuffled?
07:02:58 syv: 1-4 of fire, 1-6 of Lightning, or 1-2 of water to lose value.
07:05:53 syv: Thinking about it, that means late game discards are superior, with people having discarded hands.
07:06:08 syv: Those hands probably have worse cards, leaving high values in play.
07:06:12 Devastator: the decks and discards are shuffled after hands.
07:06:26 Devastator: the deck isn't reshuffled during a hand.
07:06:45 syv: And people discarded hands?
07:06:55 Devastator: late game discards are from the same deck that you draw from the start.
07:07:00 syv: If you discard all five cards, that would be discarding a hand?
07:07:07 Devastator: hence the term muck, discarded hands go into the discards, not the deck.
07:07:37 Devastator: so it doesn't matter when you draw, be it early or late.
07:08:22 syv: Except we have information about what cards have already entered play, and are therefore no longer accessible.
07:08:50 syv: If everyone stays in the game, everyone likely has above-average value cards, thus meaning any given card from the deck is likely somewhat lower value.
07:09:26 syv: If a lot of people discard, that means they drew lower value cards, thus meaning the remaining cards in play are somewhat higher value.
07:09:57 Devastator: okay, when you phrase it that way, that might be the case, yes.
07:11:32 syv: So I guess probably about average? Maybe a little worse? I think someone with an average hand is more likely to stay in than not, because an average hand can improve, but 60% stayed in. And this is low % stuff.

09:28:24 ER: strange feeling to look at my own notes and see a vague lore statement which I've totally forgotten
09:32:25 ER: "the five great titans who were once gods have settled in the five corners of the world, where they await the end"
09:32:55 syv: What kind of world has five corners
09:33:07 ER: "with the titans inert and uncaring, the underworld pours forth onto the surface, releasing droves of dead and demons"
09:33:22 ER: "freed from captivity, the Snake awakens"
09:36:41 Devastator: A cube has eight corners.
09:36:53 Devastator: five is a triangular dipyramid.
09:37:30 syv: ...Is that something different than a pyramid?
09:38:24 Devastator: I think it's got six sides.
09:38:32 Devastator: it's two d4s joined together.

22:50:02 ER: in Galaxy of Grey, research actions cost 2 actions
22:50:16 ER: so you can only do up to three of those per turn
23:01:47 ER: also research comes into effect on the following turn, so IE researching wind power then building a turbine in the same turn won't give you the research bonus I think?
