00:06:12 Topic for #einsteinianroulette: Intergalactic Day of Mourning for 2016 (2016-2016)
00:06:12 Topic set by Remalle!Variety@i2246816zi629tu21.vc.shawcable.net [Tuesday 03 January 2017, 06:26:56]
00:08:55 ER: you missed a lot of thrilling action
01:33:10 Devastator: Oh, beat level 6 in Teleglitch.
01:43:18 Devastator: Saved and quit. Next up is apparently some kind of robot plant, so...
01:46:00 Devastator: Oh, apparently some of the microchipped guards are still alive. They're just controlled by the chips, alive or dead. At some point they die, get 'reactivated', and just keep going.
01:46:28 Devastator: There's also reactivated 'scientists', who apparently have better brains and as such get better guns and more armour.
01:46:29 ER: yeah, have you not been reading the enemy descriptions? :P
01:46:44 Devastator: Annoyingly, the last boss didn't show up properly.
02:08:48 Devastator: well, lets go see how long it takes for me to die.
02:08:56 Devastator: (very low on health. I have a teleporter, but...)
02:09:41 Devastator: 'robotic hardware research.
02:09:45 Devastator: already beat 2.4 seconds.
02:10:03 Devastator: oh, got more than I thought.
02:10:06 ER: by staying in the teleporter room like a coward ;p
02:10:15 Devastator: 56 health, 63 armour, a 50 medkit and a teleporter.
02:11:11 Devastator: teleglitch sounds different this far in.
02:34:41 Devastator: military software sector or central reactor cooling sector?
02:37:32 Devastator: I'll probably pick software sector.
02:37:57 ER: either you beat up friend computer or you blow everything up?
02:38:15 Devastator: blow up friend computer.
02:39:18 Devastator: software sector it is.
02:40:14 Devastator: Machine gun zombies, welders, and squids have hit the list.
02:44:11 Devastator: ..and dead. Phew, that was a rough start.
04:09:08 ER:
PW's popped back up again on discord
04:09:19 ER: says he'll update things tomorrow
04:09:22 Devastator: Can you poke him to ask what day works for watching DSIII?
04:09:34 Devastator: and you're feeling generous?
04:17:31 Piecewise has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:20:24 Piecewise: Ironic, all things considered
04:23:10 Devastator: I was wondering what day would be good for Dark Souls III.
04:23:27 Piecewise: whenever you got the time and inclination
04:24:05 Devastator: Could do it tomorrow.
04:24:24 Devastator: Also, apparently
syv hasn't seen Evil Dead.
04:24:37 Devastator: Would you be interested in giving it a watch sometime? We're likely to just torrent it individually.
04:42:49 Devastator: Might do 2 if
syv likes it.
04:42:55 Devastator: I'll probably download it as well.
04:43:25 Piecewise: 2 is generally considered to be better
04:43:36 Piecewise: since its basically a remake but with a budget
04:44:56 Devastator: so 2, and then AoD.
04:45:14 Piecewise: yeah, probably for the best
04:46:22 Devastator: You're the expert on b-movie watching, anyway.
04:48:31 Devastator: (It's been some years since I've seen them.)
04:51:45 Devastator: Although
syv should see Ash getting said chainsaw hand.
04:54:58 Devastator: ahh, that is in the second.
04:58:32 Piecewise: yeah the second is literally just the first but better
04:58:44 Piecewise: the first tried to be a serious or mostly serious horror movie
04:59:00 Piecewise: on a budget of 20 dollars and an old pizza
05:01:20 Piecewise: They're all good in their own ways
05:07:10 Devastator: Yeah, 20 bucks and an old pizza can make for an interesting movie.
05:20:03 Devastator: Yes, that would be Bruce Campbell.
05:20:15 Devastator: The man with the eyebrows.
05:23:34 Devastator: Hmm, I should compare the shot of that cabin with the cabin in the woods.
05:30:32 Piecewise: if its not identical I will be surprised
05:31:00 Devastator: Okay, I'll stream DS III. I'll try for six PM Pacific.
05:31:22 Devastator: Might run to the end of the game, if that king is optional.
05:35:50 Devastator: Thanks for stopping by.
05:35:55 Piecewise: You have teleporting brothers and then the final boss left I think?
05:36:05 Devastator: Yeah, the duo boss thing.
05:36:13 Devastator: I was fighting some kinda duo boss right before quitting.
05:37:05 ER: d o g g e d c o n t e n d e r
05:50:33 Piecewise: got to see my sister for a few weeks
05:50:52 Piecewise: we get along well so its fun
05:51:00 Devastator: do anything fun together?
05:53:42 Piecewise: We basically always have fun with each other, even doing pretty neutral stuff
05:54:48 Devastator: no armoured car robberies, then.
05:55:09 Piecewise: we went and saw a big light show, got lost in the distant backroads of arizona, cleaned out a house, tried in vain to teach my mom what netflix and hulu are
05:55:54 Devastator: "Netflix is like one of those DVD machines. You put in a few bucks, and for the next month you can get anything you like from it."
05:59:05 Piecewise: Its more like "No, I'm pretty sure netflix is a computer thing. I don't have cable so I can't get it on the tv"
06:00:13 Piecewise: And then a daisy chain of "Whats the password for this? You don't remember? Well lets recover it. Whats the password for it on your pc? You don't remember that. Password for your email? That too huh?"
06:04:53 Devastator: Just write it down at that point.
06:06:27 Devastator: I am somewhat curious if Saeko in Cabal is going to spend a month doing recon only to end up simply walking into the lake like she could have done six RL months ago. ;-p
06:08:37 Piecewise: Maurice style investigation
06:09:26 Devastator: Yeah. Oh well, I should be able to get some useful information if I can communicate with whoever that dude is.
06:09:57 Devastator: Shame it's miles. Was considering making a giant mole and just digging down into there.
06:10:20 ER: how can you do maurice style investigation if you're not male though
06:13:05 Devastator: Eh, you can stick something in it.

06:28:04 Devastator:
PW recommended watching Evil Dead II, because it's just better.
06:28:07 Devastator: Probably the right idea, too.
06:28:55 syv: Do I need to find a torrent?
06:29:16 Devastator: Sure. I could find one, though.
06:30:58 syv: You might be more suited than me, having actually seen the movie.
06:34:22 Piecewise: Just get out your collectors edition of the movie
06:34:26 Piecewise: which I'm sure you have
06:34:38 Devastator: That's tempting, actually.
06:35:04 Devastator: well, if you could upload an .img, I could use that.. ;-p
06:38:36 Devastator: Although all those editions is kinda why we have to use the same torrent..
06:40:08 syv: I'd rather the torrent, simpler to download than ripping off YT.
06:40:17 Devastator: Sent you a torrent,
syv.
06:40:21 syv: ...I'm assuming at lesst one of those links is a YT upload of the movie.
06:40:40 Devastator: One's RLM's review of the movie.
06:40:48 Devastator: The other is that link of the bottle throw I put up the other day.
06:42:30 Piecewise: Its a link joking about the many releases of evil dead
06:43:04 Piecewise: I think I'm gonna call it a night. Gotta update all those games tomorrow
06:45:38 Devastator: see ya. Good night.

07:09:44 syv: Oh. I thought you were apologizing for liking music then retreating before anyone could decry sound.
07:10:20 Devastator: Yeah, dubs has a long day tomorrow.
07:10:31 ER: Yeah, seemingly had to reboot to connect
07:13:50 Devastator: oh, set a new record in Teleglitch.
07:16:22 Devastator: made it to the point where they start spawning combat robots at you.
07:16:24 Devastator: Some pretty rough ones.
07:17:22 Devastator: There's a tentacle walker with a gigantic laser on it.
07:17:28 syv: I got up to 200 kills in one life in the AoT game.
07:18:25 ER:
syv is training up in the combat simulator so that he can be this timeline's hero character
07:18:47 syv: Smalls were clumped up in wave 18, I blinded one in a flyby, but bounced off the shoulder of another behind him. I managed to grapple it and reeled into its nape very quickly, but it grabbed me.
07:19:25 syv: I actually went back *too fast* was the problem. It was trying to grab me from the bounce off its shoulder, and I returned just as its attack was executing.
07:19:48 syv: Also, a third bit me out of his hand, which is always funny.
07:20:04 Devastator: You see, the problem ladies, it's that I'm TOO good. ;-p
07:20:35 syv: Well, if I had landed the attack, it would've died instead of grappling me, and I'd have had a perfect setup into the just blinded one.
07:20:57 syv: So more "I overestimated how good I was".
07:21:37 ER: don't stop overestimating and just become that good
07:22:51 Devastator: That's one way to stop overestimating.
07:24:02 syv: Well, if I keep wasting time doing the exact same thing over and over and over again, eventually I will be.
07:35:34 Devastator: It's not that bad, really.
07:39:03 Devastator: you could remininsce about dead games..
07:39:12 Devastator: better to play the ones that actually exist.
07:42:51 syv: This game is kiiinda dead.
07:48:38 Devastator: Do the waves escalate?
07:49:18 syv: Starts at 3, every wave adds 1.
07:49:47 syv: By default, the max wave is 20, so a "win" would be 250 kills.
07:49:49 Devastator: Well, you'll win when you get to the point where one of the titans clips into a building or through a floor due to running out of spawn area.
07:50:37 syv: When they run out of spawn area, they fall from the sky, which happens around wave 15 in general (~17 titans).
07:50:48 Devastator: Wouldn't that be 260 kills?
07:51:06 syv: Maybe I miscounted? Pretty sure it's 250.
07:51:26 Devastator: wave 20 is 19+3 or 22.
07:51:58 syv: With a mod, you can spawn up to 99, and there's room. Even if they do get placed inside a building or tree or something, there's no internal hitboxes for things, so they just walk out.
07:52:39 syv: No, wave 2 is 4 titans. wave # -1 +3, because wave 1 is 3, and can't add to itself.
07:53:20 syv: If it's any consolation, I've had a weird amount of difficulty grokking how that simple formula works out.
07:55:01 Devastator: Dmamit, I'm an idiot.
07:58:12 syv: I even used a calculator and had to try like four times before I was sure. >.>
07:58:25 Devastator: but we're all idiots.
07:58:29 Devastator: Plenty of room for that.
08:04:09 Devastator: Plenty of room on the throne of idiocity.
08:04:25 Devastator: Now what would that look like?
08:04:56 ER: exactly like the skull throne
08:15:04 ER: I like Hunt- Showdown a lot, but it's such as=n easy game to not play.
08:16:16 ER: I could just *not* wade through a comically hazardous swamp!
08:17:24 syv: Heh. And here, I like swamps, so it's a pretty nice environment to run around in.
08:17:34 syv: It should be much greener, though.
08:17:49 syv: They overdosed on the dead grays and browns. Swamps are very alive.
08:18:46 ER: well their swamps are full of zombies
08:19:37 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
08:21:18 Devastator: Ugh, I hate swamps.
08:21:35 Devastator: not my sort of ground at all. Marshes are just a pain.
08:22:05 syv: Well, you come from the frozen north.
08:22:19 Devastator: Up here we get what's called 'muskeg' pretty often.
08:22:22 syv: I grew up tromping through mud and over logs, so it's homey to me.
08:22:32 syv: Muskeg? Frozen mud or something?
08:24:30 Devastator: It's not bad when it's frozen.
08:24:45 Devastator: It's what marshes are like up here when they're not an actual lake.
08:25:36 Devastator: I'd rather climb a mountain than cross an equivalent distance of muskeg.
08:27:43 Devastator: Wet and cold and swampy.. it's not warm like it is down there. It'll freeze your ass off, and there's no solid ground, and you don't always know when it'll go squish.
08:28:05 syv: Ah. So just deep mud. Yeah, deep mud sucks.
08:28:13 syv: And yeah, it'd be hellish cold.
08:28:50 Devastator: It's not exactly mud. Mud's not bad. It's like there are mats of vegitation floating above water which is above mud.
08:32:57 syv: That... yeah, that sounds horrible.
08:34:48 Devastator: The machines they use to cross it are basically tractors with ten, twelve-foot wheels.
08:35:14 Devastator: Be glad your swamps are much better. Isn't Florida all limestone?
09:08:33 Devastator: Boston operator (to Portland operator): "Please cut off your battery [power source] entirely for fifteen minutes."
09:08:35 Devastator: Portland operator: "Will do so. It is now disconnected."
09:08:36 Devastator: Boston: "Mine is disconnected, and we are working with the auroral current. How do you receive my writing?"
09:08:38 Devastator: Portland: "Better than with our batteries on. – Current comes and goes gradually."
09:08:39 Devastator: Boston: "My current is very strong at times, and we can work better without the batteries, as the aurora seems to neutralize and augment our batteries alternately, making current too strong at times for our relay magnets. Suppose we work without batteries while we are affected by this trouble."
09:08:41 Devastator: Portland: "Very well. Shall I go ahead with business?"
09:08:43 Devastator: Boston: "Yes. Go ahead."
09:19:21 Devastator: Telegraph operators working during an aurora strong enough to power their lines.
09:32:46 Devastator: make your humanity super win yet?
09:35:14 syv: Today's writer's block: Describing a piece of cloth turning into rubber.
09:39:20 Devastator: You could use a metaphor. Have Asha examine the cloth for what it is. A piece of cloth formed from her soul, and she can see the specific elements that make up it. The weave of the cloth. The fabric of the cloth. As it's part of her magic, she can see the elements in it, including ones that aren't actually physical things, such as 'warmth' or 'length', as real things that aren't...
09:39:44 Devastator: Then she can imagine other elements which she wants to include, and then sort of merge the two things together, seeing what was put in, what was lost, and what's now new.
09:40:54 syv: I'm probably gonna just make it boring.
09:41:09 syv: Because it is boring, and that's better than agonizing over something boring.
09:41:31 Devastator: boring is fine too.
09:41:51 Devastator: maybe save that for someone doing something more significant than that.
09:42:04 Devastator: Using TM4 or something.
09:46:29 Devastator: For something boring, maybe just describe her holding the ribbon in one hand, and then stretching it out like taffy, looping it around and around, cartoon style. And then ending up with the longer, stretchy ribbon wrapped around one hand.
09:50:03 Devastator: or go by orc magic, it's stretchy because it was always stretchy, and who can say no?
09:50:28 syv: Magical girls aren't orks, awesome thought that might be.
09:52:30 Devastator: well, could be like cake. You take the ribbon apart, and then remake it, this time mixing in 'stretchy' and adding extra 'length' to the pile. ;-p
09:53:44 syv: That... would actually be pretty appropriate for how magic tends to be described. Maybe that's how it'll work if she actually gets TM 4 eventually.
09:54:33 syv: As is, she's barely able to affect her totem, so a boring description where she doesn't understand what she's doing is kinda appropriate.
09:54:56 Devastator: Hmm, it's doable only because of the totem type, right?
09:55:06 Devastator: So maybe she just talks to the ribbon and it does it for her.
09:55:48 syv: Nah, totems aren't really even separate objects from MGs, on a metaphysical level.
09:55:50 Devastator: Asks it nicely, perhaps, after not knowing where to start.
09:56:02 Devastator: Well, it'd still be her doing it. ;-p
09:56:15 syv: Talking to it would make no sense. Or, it'd somehow make less sense than normal.
09:56:34 Devastator: And then there's me, with the hard one?
09:56:56 syv: Maybe less hard since I know exactly what you see.
09:57:02 Devastator: well, someone was going to look there eventually.
09:58:08 syv: ...Though there's no voice in any of the music, so it wouldn't be singing cake. Instrument-playing cake? Eh.
09:59:18 Devastator: the cake doesn't sing, the candles on it do.
10:00:12 Devastator: good lord that guy's overlevelled.
10:00:49 syv: ...Why is Bowser working with Mario?
10:01:12 Devastator: I think he might have cheated max stats.
10:01:22 Devastator: the HP count is reasonable, maybe a bit low, but those hits are insanely powerful.
10:01:26 Devastator: Yeah, that's probably it.
10:02:28 Devastator: Also stupid, because that boss works by the number of times you hit it, not the amount of damage you do. Except for the last phase.
10:09:37 Devastator: basically because someone kicked him out of his castle. And eventually he runs out of goons, and decides to let the party join the 'Koopa Troop.'
10:10:03 syv: Which they do, because....?
10:12:18 Devastator: Eh, bowser joins the party.
10:12:34 Devastator: That's just what bowser says to avoid losing face due to having to team up with mario.
10:13:08 syv: Meh. Better than a genderswap crown, I guess.
10:13:17 Devastator: Eh, the whole game is fairly weird.
10:13:23 Devastator: the original characters are weird.
10:13:52 Devastator: It's not a genderswap crown, it literally turns people into Toadstool, specifically. ;-p
10:14:47 syv: Oh? Then why does Bowsette have horns?
10:15:38 syv: ...Apparently the guy who drew that comic got a trophy for it a couple days ago.
10:29:19 syv: If not, let's call it Japanese Deviantart. Though I think it's a fair bit larger than DA? I'unno.
10:29:51 Devastator: Why would I know what japanese deviantart is?
10:31:23 syv: It's a large site that is pretty well known in general. *shrug*
10:31:39 Devastator: Eh, maybe I should know, but I barely know what nicovideo is.
10:31:43 syv: Also, like, Google is normally the first response to unfamiliar names?
10:32:22 Devastator: didn't do it that time.
10:32:35 Devastator: I don't need to pretend I know everything with you.
10:34:21 syv: Bah. Think I'm done with the update.
10:38:20 Devastator: I hope Nak doesn't get burnt out updating Monstergame.
10:42:14 Devastator: Hard to say, I've only been in it two turns.
10:44:15 Devastator: Is it a big sign saying 'Sucker' next to a bomb?
10:45:47 Devastator: Too bad. Could use a really big bomb now.
10:46:12 syv: If you find legible writing in a labyrinth, something is wrong.
10:47:46 Devastator: If we've been suckered into a trap, something is wrong, no?
10:48:42 Devastator: Well, looks like a retreat and try to figure out the way up. Probably going to ask Mina for an illusion.
10:49:01 Devastator: Alida would have to be a pretty big werewolf to be sanguine about that fight.
10:49:15 syv: Labyrinths are kinda traps by definition, though, so...
10:49:32 Devastator: Yeah, but there's traps and there's traps.
10:59:36 syv: Egan said in his last Sophia PM that the only firearms he's seen IRL were holstered cop sidearms!
11:02:47 Devastator: Not that suprising, he isn't as old as us.
11:03:35 syv: He's at least two decades, that's plenty old enough!
11:03:56 syv: ...Probably just has no interest, but still. Sad. :(
11:05:32 syv: Every city boy I know has fired a gun before. Admittedly a couple of those were my fault, but still.
11:06:07 syv: HEY EGAN! If you're ever visiting Florida, I hereby invite you to mt house to shoot things!
11:11:40 Devastator: Yeah.. the rolls make no sense. I can't tell what's going on in monstergame.
11:14:20 Devastator: The only thing I can tell is the GM fudged my character alive after getting crit instakilled, and we've rolled 112223 on six d4, hopefully.
11:14:39 syv: Looking at the last update... that looks like a complex system.
11:15:03 Devastator: It's also a real mess. I don't know what I'm looking at.
11:15:14 syv: [Mind Field Adaptation -Intermediate+]
11:15:58 syv: This could be one of *mine*.
11:16:00 Devastator: Yeah, I'm fudged. I'm dead twice over.
11:16:10 Devastator: Considering asking for it.
11:17:36 syv: Your PS action--you mention following the band members. Are you thinking that they're traveling while playing?
11:18:25 syv: Or are you expecting them to move, and want to follow when they do?
11:18:48 Devastator: I think they'll move when they're done.
11:19:28 Devastator: Unless Tooru wants to try a medium bomb or something.
11:19:56 Devastator: But I've got no idea where the witch is, other than 'up', and the room is going to be filled with fifty guards.
11:20:15 Devastator: so the only sensible thing is to retreat and try to come back from a different direction.
11:20:22 Devastator: Which will take more months and end in a wipe.
11:21:05 Devastator: Assuming we don't keel over when the song is finished due to some unguessable effect.
11:21:23 syv: I should've made this labyrinth more of a straight fight, but I've stuck to the original design.
11:21:44 syv: That won't happen, at least.
11:22:19 Devastator: Well, probably not. Might just be a moderate drain to everyone or something, or a good-sized buff to all the familiars, which seems more likely.
11:22:24 Piecewise has joined #einsteinianroulette
11:22:30 Devastator: what brings you on here?
11:22:47 syv:
Dev is complaining about *my* GMing for a change! It's exciting!
11:24:07 Devastator: Mostly because I have a blind character, we've got about a 40% participation rate, and apparently I've made one successful roll this entire dungeon.
11:24:41 Devastator: I'd like to get assist bonuses, but we've also got one player who will do nothing but blank roleplaying actions.
11:24:52 syv: (The complaints are legitimate. ;P )
11:25:29 Devastator: Up to the point of literal heel-dragging.
11:27:04 Devastator: And no, not figurative heel-dragging. Actually grabbing other characters and preventing them from attempting things.
11:27:55 syv: But not literally by their heels.
11:28:35 Devastator: ..Yeah, literal heel dragging. The heels being dragged are the ones belonging to the character doing the dragging.
11:28:50 Devastator: the character doing the grabbing.
11:29:29 syv: Ahh, you mean "Literally the figure of speech", not "Literally a figure made of speech".
11:29:52 Devastator: Yeah. I mean literal heel-dragging. She's dragging her heels to hold other characters back, literally.
11:30:22 syv: But her literaly heels are not literally being dragged.
11:30:41 Devastator: Yeah they were. When I did the double-body thing to escape that grasp.
11:30:59 syv: Nak wants to play an RP, not an RPG.
11:31:39 syv: ...That was months ago, maybe I forgot some flavor text.
11:32:35 syv: The word "heel" hasn't been used once in the entire thread.
11:33:26 Devastator: Yeah, I don't think you used it.
11:33:36 Devastator: I think it happened when she grabbed someone trying to run from behind.
11:35:17 syv: Looking back, Asha told Mina to grab Alida. Mina, controlled by Egan, complied.
11:35:54 syv: Mildly amusing, since if Alida had actually been running, *Asha* wouldn't have had to roll, but Mina would have.
11:36:14 Devastator: Well, no, that would have involved her rolling dice.
11:36:19 syv: Since Asha's the only one with Mobility III.
11:36:31 Devastator: Who has yet to use it.
11:37:17 syv: Nah, it came up a couple times, pretty sure. Probably incidental to Nak doig something mundane, but it's mattered.
11:40:57 Devastator: Well, nothings going to happen anyway.
11:41:08 Devastator: I should probably just post a no-order.
11:41:56 Devastator: Safest thing, really.
11:42:01 Devastator: Make you kill someone during roleplay. ;-p
11:43:25 syv: Yeah, I should've made a dungeon with more active enemies.
11:43:43 syv: It was absolutely deliberate that most things are passive in this place.
11:45:39 syv: Would I say that if it wasn't true?
11:46:28 Devastator: Nah, I know what to do.
11:46:40 Devastator: I'm just incredibly sick and tired of issuing orders for four people.
11:47:11 syv: Well in this case it's true. Last one had been closed in and very linear. I wanted to try an open one that was more based around exploration, and had more opportunity for the players to fuck with the labyrinth's system.
11:47:45 syv: It just turns out my players don't like exploration, least not as I write it.
11:50:28 Devastator: I could handle exploration, but Nak wouldn't have entered the dungeon yet.
11:51:02 Devastator: (Actually, she did do a roll when fighting the three familiars.)
11:51:18 Devastator: I hope that's not too confusing.
11:53:47 Devastator: Yeah, Sasha's on the other side of the magic portal, right?
11:53:49 syv: There's... 15 other doors inside the flooded area, and outside, there's a single room of the mansion that you've seen.
11:54:02 Devastator: I want to go into where she is.
11:54:11 Devastator: Oh, so there's dozens of other rooms in this mansion?
11:54:22 Devastator: I thought the roof was open, so it's like there's only one room.
11:54:43 syv: You haven't seen much of the other half, the one that isn't full of dancing skeletons.
11:54:47 Devastator: in any case, going in the exit when it's likely dozens of them will leave through that same exit seems risky.
11:55:01 syv: There's a wall dividing the big room from the rest, yeah.
11:55:07 Devastator: ..Nah, I gotta get sasha. Can't stay to watch, and Mina needs to hide us.

21:24:11 midnightjaguar: What a rare sight
21:25:11 Devastator: going to stream some Dark Souls tonight, in about four and a half hours.
21:25:25 Devastator: dubs might be here for that.
21:26:06 midnightjaguar: Ah I will unfortunately be busy then. I play DnD with some Tuesday nights.
21:26:46 midnightjaguar: Yeah. I play a gnome Wizard
21:28:01 midnightjaguar:
Syv helped me come up with the charecter. Slan is ancient in relation the other charecters fairly amoral and somewhat crazy.
21:32:23 midnightjaguar: Aww. I was looking up some old authors and just found out that a guy who wrote some quite good books from my childhoods has been dead for like 4 years now. Would explain why I never really saw anything else from him.
21:34:30 midnightjaguar: I’d be surprised if you’d heard of them
Dev. Tales of Jacky Faber was the series.
21:47:34 midnightjaguar: It’s like a bunch of historical novels in the age of sail. This orphan girl disguised herself as a boy and sneaks onto a ship and then has a ton of pretty decent period/historical adventures.
21:51:55 midnightjaguar: Really as a I recall there’s a ton of gore. Like well above the age range you’d guess from the description gore.
21:53:00 midnightjaguar: Which on reflection could describe quite surprisingly number of books I read as a kid.
21:58:30 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
22:06:06 midnightjaguar: Not bad. Semesters going pretty well
22:18:03 ER: surviving. not getting everything I want.
22:20:19 midnightjaguar: Sorry to hear that.
22:27:12 Piecewise: You can't always get what you want
22:27:20 Piecewise: but if you try, sometimes
22:27:24 Piecewise: You get what you need
22:27:52 midnightjaguar throws a boom box at PW.
22:28:03 midnightjaguar is now known as MJ
22:28:48 Devastator: Not sure what to do in Cabal.
22:29:00 Devastator: Should I aim lower? I could live with just establishing communications.
22:29:08 Devastator: It's below the bottom of the lake..
22:29:27 Devastator: would a giant mole be viable?
22:29:55 Devastator: What sort of prices would I be looking at for that?
22:30:01 MJ: Make like a star nosed mole
Dev. IIRC they’re quite good swimmers
22:30:19 Devastator: I gotta follow it and lead people out the tunnel.
22:30:20 Piecewise: well, 1 mole plus magic
22:30:27 Devastator: Like, lots of magic.
22:30:39 Devastator: and probably a familiar so I can communicate with it and give it orders.
22:30:42 Piecewise: Alternatively, go use that glass map
22:30:49 Piecewise: I'm sure you could do something with it
22:30:51 Devastator: Does it show the area below the lake?
22:31:03 Devastator: It's okay,
RC wasn't interested in trying things.
22:31:12 Devastator: Just 'give me endless power for no actual magic.'
22:31:23 Devastator: ie, no funds, no assistance, no imagination..
22:31:33 Piecewise: well, you could always just cling to a person getting lakenapped and hope they take you somewhere fun
22:31:52 Devastator: Yeah. That's so stupid though.
22:32:01 Devastator: I'll do it, but I'd like to have some kind of edge.
22:32:17 MJ: You should just build a giant pump and drain the lake to somewhere else.
22:32:21 Devastator: Mole magic would be what, 1d6 for steel claws and 10d6 for making it big enough?
22:33:26 Devastator: crawling up a twenty-mile tunnel wouldn't be fun at all, too.
22:35:12 Devastator: At that point it might be better to just skip the mole portion of it.
22:35:33 Devastator: Yeah.. but it's miles under the lake.
22:36:17 Devastator: I had an idea for air breathing pills with
RC's vacuum word, but that would involve some imagination.
22:36:46 Devastator: I mean, yeah, I can dive to the bottom, but then I still have miles to dig, except I'm starting from underwater.
22:38:53 MJ has quit [Quit: Mutter: www.mutterirc.com]
22:38:57 Piecewise: Build a big drilling bot on legs
22:39:45 MJ has joined #einsteinianroulette
22:40:18 Devastator: That'd work. How much would that cost?
22:42:21 Devastator: Would it be more mana intensive to do the mole thing, or to get a shaft dug to bedrock, and then use 'expand' on the tunnel to sink it down five miles?
22:45:01 Devastator: d8 to triple something, 25000 feet down, say 50 feet to bedrock, would be pretty far given the lake and river.
22:45:31 Devastator: looks like 3d8, assuming it works that way, which it probably doesn't.
22:51:55 Devastator: Could I summon an ape down there and have an easier time doing a mental link? Like an actual ape?
22:54:42 Piecewise: I mean...the thing of it is that creating a mental link with the ape word really just aligns the neuroprocesses of both involved in such a way where you can think the same thoughts, so to speak
22:55:08 Devastator: Ahh, so I'd just be thinking the same things as the person down there.
22:55:12 Devastator: Yeah, that doesn't work.
22:56:15 Devastator: of course, I could then summon an ape up here, and link that ape with the person down there, which would be too Dr. Frankenstein for Saeko.
22:57:33 Devastator: Dangit, I'd just like one piece of solid info about one person down there, so I could use that as evidence to hold a rally. Then I could get enough mana to brute force a solution.
22:58:16 Devastator: I'd have that, but
RC wasn't willing to actually pay anything.
22:59:54 Devastator: Ahh, that'll do it.
23:00:05 Devastator: repeat this 'View' trick, but for a whole group of people.
23:02:45 ER: oi
Piecewise. In Cult, what happens if I get favor that would put me over a d12?
23:03:01 ER: Is that lost or does it keep going up to d14 and such?
23:03:33 ER: Are the other stats capped at d12?
23:06:00 Piecewise: well the physical ones
23:06:13 Piecewise: but like connections or money aren't
23:06:17 ER: So I could get even richer if I wanted to.
23:06:41 ER: Can I make physical state uncapped with a wish? ;P
23:06:42 Devastator: Could you use a wish to break the physical stat cap?
23:15:30 ER: HEY
PIECEWISE ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS HEY
23:15:37 Devastator: Yeah, might end up doing that.
23:15:59 Devastator: Strengthen a shovel into a vorpal shovel.
23:16:18 Devastator: Make Saeko a giant person with temp spells and just dig my own way there.
23:16:29 Piecewise: You can, mechanically, use that to get higher than d12
23:16:32 ER: What were the rules for wishes again? You really oughta put that stuff in the OP.
23:16:33 Devastator: Do this view trick for an audience to get enough mana to do that.
23:16:53 Devastator: Okay plan,
PW? Or would a giant mole do it a lot easier?
23:22:28 Piecewise_ has joined #einsteinianroulette
23:26:15 Devastator: Can the view spell show me what the person looks like?
23:26:26 Devastator: i.e, is it good enough to let me do that, or do I need another spell?
23:26:58 Piecewise has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
23:31:29 ER: I was thinking that I should start spending my favor now, but if it doesn't get capped at 12 I might just want to keep going.
23:31:48 ER: hey
Piecewise_ how long does it take for a wish to happen?
23:32:02 Piecewise_: Depends on the wish, but it can be instant
23:32:12 ER: Could I make as many wishes as my Favor allows in a single turn of combat?
23:40:25 ER: Spend the 1 favor now on something proactive, save the rest so I can get a good roll in combat if I need to.
23:46:34 ER:
Piecewise_ I sent a forum PM for Cult.
