02:09:11 MJ: I finally finished my poster. Took a bit of time.
02:25:21 Devastator: still in experimental hell?
02:26:04 MJ: Just got done and haveing a celebreatory beer. Pretty much all of my results save one are null, but I can probably still publish somethig, and at least my poster is done
02:27:27 Devastator: yay, it didn't work.
02:29:00 Devastator: well, at least you got results.
02:29:39 MJ: It's science, null results happen
02:30:00 MJ: If only because the stuff your doing is literally unpredicatable, which is why your doing it in the first place.
02:37:04 ER: we now know one additional fact about the fact that we don't know shit
02:37:25 MJ: Which is in a way very useful
02:37:46 MJ: As it slightly increases the odd's we will actually know shit with the next project

04:30:59 MJ: I actually have edits to my poster so I had to cut my celebreatory beer short
04:54:53 MJ: Alright, I've done enough editing for tonight. I'm going to bed
06:02:30 ER: sorry for the woefully incomplete parts, but if it's mostly done I may as well call it done and figure things out later
06:18:34 syv: Impulsive magic is really cool
06:18:53 syv: Wish I had thought of it, that's just an awesome magic concept
06:19:36 syv: Would be neat to integrate into a Perplexicon game. Instead of magic costs, each word having some elemental inclination, and spells with balanced inclinations are more controllable.
06:20:26 syv: With unbalanced inclinations causing (and informing the nature of) chaotic failures.
06:22:34 syv: don't write a new perplexicon system
06:29:16 syv: Not when my idea is basically "oh it'd be neat to make a full description of magic word chemistry"
06:30:15 syv: I was talking about Ignition! with someone recently and that is probably affecting this
06:32:03 ER: hmm yeah that might be going too far
06:32:25 ER: I think my system sits at a reasonable level of complexity
06:32:47 ER: and then I made two more magic systems but what am I supposed to do it's fantasy! :p
06:33:06 syv: It doesn't seem to involve spreadsheets or automated python scripts so yes, it's not necessarily *too* complex
06:34:15 ER: Voice was supposed to have magic syllables acting basically as protien folding but only as fluff
06:34:53 ER: but that would be the logical next step from magic chemestry, make your computer do a real workout simulating the results
06:35:08 Devastator: who did you talk about Ignition! with?
06:39:51 syv: He was talking about how he really loved learning Chemistry, and has for a long time fought the urge to become a professional chemist (because it's an awful job that doesn't interest him beyond him loving chemistry)
06:45:56 syv: "Oh, you have to fight the urge to be a chemist? Here's an autobiography from an experimental chemist who really loved his job (which you can't get anymore)"
07:19:18 Devastator: did about half of bladebird, Egan.
07:32:29 Devastator: I figure heavy weapons would be appropriate given the -3 body. ;-p
07:38:00 Devastator: <Squeak>i am heavy weapons guy</Squeak>
07:49:06 syv: Welp, there's a 1200 word documeny describing Perplexicon chemistry.
07:49:13 syv: I'm never going to make this system.
07:57:39 syv: "And that makes it theoretically feasible to have, technically, eleven thousand functional unique words"
08:00:10 syv: It... might actually be fun.
08:00:43 syv: The concept is to have a very deep potential for personal spellcrafting creativity. And a lot to research and figure out, while still basically being Perplexicon mechanics.
08:01:17 syv: I'd love to see forty people working through it and iterating scientifically on how they think it works. Like the original Perplexicon.
08:01:33 Devastator: Never found out what was up with the palnts.
08:01:43 syv: But I wouldn't be able to run a
Piecewise size game. And it might be too hard to figure out the basic building blocks of the system.
08:02:10 syv: Communicating wtf is weird with a word without just spoiling the system, in the way Perplexicon does, would be challenging.
08:45:07 ER: well, part of the fun is people thinking words have simple effects when they actually have complex ones and they wind up doing something totally unexpected despite a perfectly good roll

09:44:10 syv: It's an oversimplification.
