03:47:29 Devastator: your jerky should start moving tomorrow.
03:47:37 Devastator: work today went pretty well.
03:50:21 MJ: I've been trying to finish this project for my proffesor and it's been going rather poorly.
03:51:32 Devastator: Strange and wonderous world of biology, or something odd?
03:52:08 MJ: Nah just doing mindnumbing data entry
03:52:47 MJ: And I've just been weirdly tired.
03:52:51 Devastator: my hockey team is actually good this year.
03:54:01 Devastator: a team getting sick is a thing that happens in hockey.
03:54:12 Devastator: yeah, it was amusing. The advanced hockey stats are very primitive.
03:54:27 Devastator: and yeah, if a bunch of guys get sick, the fairly limited roster is gonna lead to a bad few games.
03:55:32 Devastator: So they said the team was like 27th overall, of 32 teams.
03:55:47 Devastator: because the advanced hockey stats don't take in account the very significant score effects in hockey.
03:56:26 Egan has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:57:17 Devastator: The issue being that when you're ahead all the time, you don't shoot the puck as much, and that's the big hockey score effect.
03:57:30 Egan sits in the corner and eats ice cream
03:58:07 Devastator: also rated the utterly broken Edmonton team super high.
03:58:59 Devastator: anyway, what they measure does stack up over the long term, but score effects are bigger and more important over most of the year, so..
03:59:21 Devastator: so it makes them look really stupid.
03:59:41 Devastator: They're measuring something real, but it's not the biggest factor.
03:59:45 Devastator: they're now 11 and 3.
03:59:57 Devastator: and the fanbase knows nothing but pain.
04:00:03 Devastator: so it hasn't sunk in yet.
04:01:14 MJ: Ah yes I'm familiar with that feeling
04:01:44 Devastator: Yes, you would, cheering for Auburn.
04:01:48 Devastator: but not nearly as bad.
04:01:53 Devastator: they have won stuff in the past.
04:02:07 Devastator: The Canucks never have.
04:03:03 Devastator: Yeah, they have had three runs to the finals.
04:03:15 Devastator: one was a miracle run out of nowhere, the other two were with very good teams that could have won it all.
04:03:43 Devastator: First one ran into the at-the-time dynasty team, other two lost in game 7s.
04:04:51 Devastator: one of the teams that beat the first good team was supposed to be cursed!
04:05:00 Devastator: The curse of Madison Square Garden, as it turns out.
04:05:27 Devastator: They burned the mortgage papers in the cup. Went fifty years before another cup.
04:05:41 Devastator: you do know about the Cup, right
04:05:41 MJ: heh, when I think about it maybe Auburn was cursed for putting Tubberville in the senate. It would explain why we suck
04:05:57 MJ: Giant cup that you get for a year
04:06:07 Devastator: The best trophy in sports.
04:06:15 MJ: I like that you have to give it back
04:06:18 Devastator: Literally comes with an escort.
04:06:36 Devastator: There are two guys who have the job to go wherever the cup goes.
04:08:54 Devastator: but yeah, it's the greatest trophy in sports.
04:09:50 Devastator: and yes, you have to give it back.
04:10:02 Devastator: as obligatory for a canadian, I have seen it.
04:10:38 Devastator: went to the hall of fame last time I was in Toronto.
04:10:42 MJ: It is funny how like half of the north american sports are country specific and then the other half aren't.
04:10:47 Devastator: at the time, the real cup was there.
04:11:35 Devastator: Yeah, you should go see it if you're ever in TO.
04:11:42 Devastator: There are two entrances. Go through the underground one first.
04:12:09 MJ: I'll have to, that sounds cool and as I live in the frigid north now hockey is pretty popular here
04:13:16 Devastator: The Canucks are famous for having awful uniforms, actually
04:13:24 Devastator: some are pretty cool, but they've had really bad ones.
04:13:40 MJ: You guys really are cursed then
04:13:47 Devastator: that current alternate is the mid-90s away jerseys.
04:13:51 Devastator: with the period logo.
04:14:18 MJ: Ah, it looks very 90's, I'm not super suprised
04:14:40 Devastator: They did invent towel wavign.
04:14:48 Egan has quit [Quit: I can put anything here!]
04:14:53 Egan has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:16:50 Devastator: yeah. Dates back to the coach 'surrendering' to bad reffing.
04:17:01 Devastator: The story basically went.
04:17:09 Devastator: "I don't like this reffing, lets throw the sticks on the ice."
04:17:23 Devastator: "No, I did that once already. Lets do something different. Lets surrender."
04:17:43 Devastator: and the next game people brought their own white towels.
04:18:12 Devastator: and now everyone has those.

07:34:01 Devastator: I'll update Extinction tomorrow with a plain set of choices.
07:35:29 syv: I haven't looked at Extinction in a bit v.v
07:42:47 syv: Irony's pretty much said anything I'd be able to add
07:42:53 Devastator: gonna move things on shortly.
07:42:54 syv: I'm not good at investigation
07:51:24 Devastator: That's fine. You're good at puzzles.
07:51:34 Devastator: and they're doing pretty well. Anyway, it'll be a choice of like 3 things to do next.
07:51:47 Devastator: you aren't going to be allowed out of the damned city until you buy gear.
07:55:03 syv: I have solid ideas on that, at least
07:55:20 syv: ARMOR. STAFF FOR WILLIS. +5 WEAPONS.
07:58:21 Devastator: how much you spend on staff?
08:47:22 syv has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
09:26:33 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
09:28:14 syv: There's three levels of staff training and the third was "You can use special skills built into staves", which... seems very dependant on what staff you get
