04:26:49 Devastator: welp, no
syv, no test then.
04:37:58 MidJag has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:42:23 MidJag: not bad, shaking off the last vestiges of jet lag, but outside of that pretty good.
04:43:17 ER: As a GM am I supposed to feel kinda sad when all of my NPCs die in an encounter?
04:43:27 ER: Because it makes me a little sad.
04:44:37 MidJag: Pretty much yeah, unless they are complete and utter fodder.
04:44:38 ER: I feel like I've has this situation before, where I'm desperately looking for a way to survive this situation as an underpowered monster.
04:49:27 ER: but who is teh REAL monster here!?!?!?!
04:52:15 MidJag: For reasons I can not phathom my ochem class is having me write papers.
04:56:43 Devastator: They did jump the shark a bit.
04:57:08 MidJag: Yeah, I don't love grand tour as much as their old stuff
04:58:32 Devastator: needed both of them.
04:58:37 Devastator: the BBC and those idiots.
04:59:34 MidJag: I like Grand tour more than the BBC new top gear
05:00:44 Devastator: I'd agree with you there.
05:00:55 Devastator: ..but I don't want to watch all of it.
05:01:17 MidJag: Yeah, I've only watched a bit of GT.
05:05:40 ER: "why he's in the pub I imagine"
05:08:32 MidJag: Having just been in London, he's in the pub is a pretty good guess as to a britiions location.
05:09:52 Devastator: Oh, do remember one thing.
05:09:59 Devastator: There are a lot fewer pubs than there used to be.
05:10:43 MidJag: Really? I'm kinda surprised by that, there were seemed to be a ton.
05:10:54 Devastator: and that assessment is accurate.
05:11:05 Devastator: nevertheless there are a lot fewer than there used to be.
05:11:57 MidJag: Huh, any particular reason?
05:12:11 Devastator: The economy hit them a lot.
05:12:19 Devastator: Plus general changes in trends.
05:15:42 Devastator: Any birbgame orders,
MJ?
05:16:03 MidJag: uhh, lemme finish up this paper thing first and then I'll give some.
05:21:11 Devastator: ..I really am suprised that travel by giant flying animal is bizarre in Cabal.
05:22:44 Devastator: I should suggest someone do a mail service.
05:27:24 Devastator: maybe he's sleeping.
05:27:28 Devastator: or needs to work at work.
05:41:18 ER: hmm, Alexander actually manages to fail a perception roll
05:44:16 Devastator: based on Pay-Attention?
05:44:18 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
05:45:03 ER: wasn't a hard perception, only -2.
05:45:22 ER: which would be a +1 for an undistracted PC with minimal focus
05:46:08 ER: which means that I get to live!
05:46:25 syv: "You roll a five! ...But we're playing 3d6."
05:47:44 ER: scribe rolled a 5 on a 1d6 this turn as well
05:48:07 ER: which means that good things much happen to him, right?
05:50:00 syv: Is Rakiit gonna become a [catgirl]?
05:50:09 syv: Or would it be [cat]girl...
05:51:03 ER: She's a perfectly healthy genetic weapon.
05:52:05 Devastator: I guess eating demons is ok then.
05:52:18 ER: Kit, like me, makes bad decisions.
05:52:44 ER: Well, living demons are pretty much the same as normal animals.
05:52:55 Devastator: dead demons are different?
05:53:11 ER: No, more as opposed to inorganic types.
05:53:30 ER: Some might be more like golems or ghosts.
05:54:35 Devastator:
MJ, the evil doctor is turning into a monster in front of yourself.
05:54:39 Devastator: go shoot the evil doctor!
05:55:03 ER: As far as weird shit goes in this multiverse, hell and demons aren't weird. :P
05:55:07 syv: Not the evil doctor. The scribe. The scribe's cool.
05:55:25 Devastator: thought that was the evil doctor.
05:55:36 MidJag: I'm not...I'm just writing a paper for organic chemistry for reasons that have not been adequetlly explained.
05:55:38 ER: The Scribe is also a mad genius, but the Cha type rather than the Int type~
05:55:54 syv: I think I called this, last night.
05:56:29 syv: You're exactly the person that would be staying up 'til 0200, cramming for schoolwork, during Summer break.
05:56:32 MidJag: See, I 100% did not expect Ochem of all classes, a class I have already taken mind you, to have a writing portion.
05:57:36 syv: That does seem pretty stupid.
05:58:09 syv: Well, if you want help, I'm generally willing to try.
05:58:25 ER: let's fight with dual katanas instead.
06:00:25 MidJag: Eh, gotta finish writing the damn thing, they want to two pages on a random organic chemical in the news recently.
06:00:44 Devastator: write it on something in pipeline.
06:01:00 MidJag: Ooh, I'll do that for the next one.
06:01:34 MidJag: Already have a chemical I'm writing on right now.
06:06:47 MidJag: I have to write three of the things over the course of the semster so I'll be sure to use in the pipeline for the next two.
06:08:08 syv: Oh, I can run the duel if wanted. Just ping me, not paying close attention.
06:08:29 ER: I'd like to either duel
dev or go to sleep
06:09:13 syv: Okay then. Both of you, select two stances.
06:09:35 syv: Oh, and deathblow now deals 1 damage, so it's interrupted by being hit.
06:10:06 syComp has joined #einsteinianroulette
06:11:23 syComp:
Dev: 30V 20P S/N
ER: 30V 20P A/S Distance:4
06:12:17 MidJag:
Dev I feel like writing a paper on what is essentially a date rape drug might be a bad idea.
06:12:42 syComp: Just don't make it instructional.
06:12:54 syComp: Or do, and just rely on Poe's Law.
06:13:37 syComp: "What? I didn't break any rules. I didn't plagiarize, I cited sources, and I certainly wrote everything well. Your syllabus doesn't say anything about obeying the law."
06:14:20 Devastator: "Many things we work with are controlled substances."
06:17:11 syComp:
ER and
Dev both use Chasing Slice on P1, I'm pretty sure they both want to advance because they're otherwise out of range. They go to range: 2, both hit each other for 6 damage.
06:17:14 MidJag: ...huh I also just realized I wore a shirt with a giant hole in it to the first day of lab work when we meet all the new guys who are there for the summer.
06:17:39 syComp:
Dev dodges on P2, advancing to Range: 1, while
ER preps dragon flash, holding it until the next turn. It has poise, so isn't canceled.
06:17:54 syComp:
Dev: 24V 14P S/N
ER: 24V 14P A/S Distance:1
06:19:33 syComp:
Dev: Fair warning,
ER has dragon flash prepped, and can release it at any priority, including priority 0, in which case he can *also* do something else with that hand. So possibly launching three attacks this round, one of which deals 10 damage.
06:22:42 syComp: Welp, ER releases his Dragon Flash at P0, Dev quicksteps away at P0, no damage.
ER uses Chasing Slice at P1, advancing, And Dev uses counter at the same time, dodging away. No damage. Then, in Priority 5, both
ER and
Dev attack,
ER with another dragon flash for 10 damage, and
Dev with his counter for... 4.
06:23:03 syComp:
Dev: 14V 4P S/N
ER: 20V 10P A/S Distance:2
06:23:52 syComp: Ah, if only thrusting attacks had counter frames, that might be true.
06:27:32 syComp:
Dev quicksteps forward at P1, and both he and
ER throw floating passage at each other. FP happens at P2, so they mutually hit each other for 4 damage, then stun each other out of the combo.
ER's second attack was a deathblow at P5, but he got interrupted since deathblow now counts as an attack.
06:27:50 syComp:
Dev is also guardbroken by that damage, and both his styles are unequipped.
06:28:03 syComp:
Dev: 10V 0P F/F
ER: 16V 6P A/S Distance:1
06:36:28 syComp: Well,
Dev sent an invalid action, and upon that being pointed out, admitted he's fucked, which he is.
ER closes at P4 and then releases a Dragon Flash at P5, which would reduce
Dev to 0 vitality and posture regardless.
06:36:54 syComp: Now the only question is how he would land the deathblow.
06:37:30 syComp: Technically
Dev is still in the fight if he spent both actions on retreating, which would put them at range 2 and maybe give
Dev options, but it's kinda a lost cause.
06:37:40 Devastator: No, that blow lands too.
06:37:45 ER: Thought I would just chop his head off with the dragon :P
06:38:09 Devastator: Was quite dodgable if you could shift and do a move at the same time.
06:38:13 Devastator: which I thought was possible.
06:38:16 syComp: Which is now actually "still alive", since ninjas must die to a deathblow.
06:41:39 MidJag has left #einsteinianroulette
06:42:08 syComp:
Dev claims that dodges are useless, because you don't get anything if an enemy whiffs an attack.
06:42:15 ER: But I want to jumpkick
dev in the face and then impale him from above
06:43:37 Devastator: Woulda done enough damage to mutually poise-break if I'd attacked all out.
06:44:01 Devastator: Woulda lost anyway, but it would have been much closer.
06:44:07 syComp: I'd absolutely agree that dodges are junk in comparison to parries, which always get deflect as a bonus, but I don't intuitively agree with him that dodges are worthless.
06:44:18 Devastator: as is.. I got to spend a move preventing another move, which is worth nothing.
06:44:26 syComp: Well, yeah,
Dev. You chose two mutually incompatible attacking styles.
06:44:33 syComp: And then dodges at... stupid times.
06:44:40 syv has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
06:44:42 ER: *happily never uses parries*
06:44:51 Devastator: Which times were good?
06:45:30 syComp: Why did you dodge at P2 on the first round? And dodge forward, when using an advancing attack beforehand?
06:45:49 Devastator: Because most attacks are P2 and I didn't know what styles
ER had loaded.
06:45:55 syComp: That was a bad time to dodge, you had no hints towards what
ER would do, and the aggression hurt you.
06:45:57 Devastator: seemed better than just moving forward.
06:46:04 syComp: You weren't paying attention, then.
06:46:24 syComp: Because I tell people what styles the opponent has at the start of the match...
06:46:29 Devastator: ..you didn't tell me that.
06:46:37 syComp: 02:11
syComp Dev: 30V 20P S/N
ER: 30V 20P A/S Distance:4
06:46:52 Devastator: Oh, that's what that means.
06:47:07 syComp: I didn't think to call it out, which is my mistake, yes.
06:47:27 Devastator: I thought you'd tell me with the listed descriptive terms in the PM..
06:47:54 syComp: Anyway, dodging at P2 because most attacks are P2 is both wrong (jab and FP are the only P2 attacks, and one is a retreating attack, while the other is rapid and standstill)
06:48:13 syComp: and very blind, since dodge is a countery move. You'd have been better to lance.
06:48:28 Devastator: Yeah. better to attack.
06:48:32 syComp: Which is advancing, and could also be held while holding back so you can tell what your opponent is doing.
06:48:45 syComp: Yes! Because dodging when you're out of range is stupid!
06:48:48 Devastator: Yeah. That would have made it a mutal poise-break, which I would have lost.
06:48:54 Devastator: Didn't know what he had.
06:49:02 syComp: Dodging *out* of range is a good idea, dodging into range is just poor.
06:49:25 syComp: Sure. But you not knowing what's going on isn't a sign of a flaw with the system.
06:49:34 syComp: Like, yes, I totally agree that dodges are weak.
06:49:36 Devastator: Well.. I didn't want to advance with the initial Chasing Slice either.
06:49:59 syComp: But dodges aren't useless enough to not be considered, and buffing them would make Shura and Mobility OP IMO.
06:50:33 Devastator: was hoping to end up at range 2 after turn one, if
ER advanced once.
06:50:49 ER: shura meta just go and chop them up with double SCP
06:50:58 syComp: Also, Shura and Mobility are broadly incompatible styles. Shura is about 100% attacks, staying very aggressive and closing, while scoring hitstuns and draining vitality. Mobility is about controlling range, diving in and out to penetrate through guard.
06:51:22 Devastator: still think I woulda been ok without the first turn fail, and one or two other changes.
06:51:31 syComp:
Dev, you advanced twice at turn one.
06:51:46 syComp: Which would leave you at Range 1 if
ER advanced once, which he did.
06:51:56 syComp: Because distance was 4.
06:52:01 Devastator: I wanted to advance once with the dodge.
06:52:27 syComp: Then... why did you use chasing slice...?
06:52:45 Devastator: because I thought the advance was optional, and it would be a missed move to set up
ER.
06:53:00 syComp: It would never hit though
06:53:17 syComp: The advance *is* optional, it's just... you could've countered and gotten more utility.
06:53:30 ER: unless I double chansing striked myself
06:53:46 ER: then i'd just deal half as much damage as I had!
06:54:06 Devastator: I should have used the Lance, looking at it, but I just thought I'd whiff once to set up
ER and see what he had.
06:54:39 syComp: I'm sorry for assuming you'd play normally and changing your tactics to something conventionally sane.
06:54:53 Devastator: I should have used dodge on P4, too.
06:55:01 Devastator: if I was going to dodge into an advance.
06:55:06 ER: you say that but what you changed them to didn't work on me either~
06:55:39 ER: basically what I'm saying is out fuckin played
06:55:52 syComp: Well, at least
ER's happy.
06:56:00 Devastator: take 16 free damage, lose. ;-p
06:56:04 syComp: Grats, you beat a guy who didn't understand the system. :P
06:56:07 Devastator: not a suprise that.
06:56:31 ER: did I just beat up some trash mob
06:56:56 Devastator: "I want to get hit at range 2 and then dodge forward" is stupid as hell, yes.
06:57:13 Devastator: but I find it hard to believe that would be the conventional interpretation of my turn 1 orders.. ;-p
06:58:44 syComp: "I want to hit the person so I'm going to advance with the advancing attack." is more conventional than "I want to miss and gain nothing so that my opponent is off-balance in a play-by-post game where everyone's possible actions are fully known and 100% reliable."
06:59:19 ER: generally, want to hit with attacks rather than not
06:59:57 Devastator: You know I try not to limit myself to stuff like that!
07:00:12 ER: and that's why I outplayed you
07:00:25 syComp: Yes, I know
Dev. I was trying to do things fast.
07:01:18 syComp: Complex thought is harder to understand, and I figured you just missed that you're supposed to state chasing slice is advancing. Which, in hindsight, was stupid since you stated advancing for the dodge in the previous iteration of the orders.
07:01:44 Devastator: nothing was on the line.
07:02:16 Devastator: I also, for instance, had no idea how to regain poise, and didn't know that you can use the footwork moves regardless of equipped style.
07:02:34 ER: yeah if I played you for money I'd have a nice income~
07:02:36 syComp: Ah. Yeah. See, huge disadvantage for you.
07:02:56 syComp: I think if you played him for money he'd read the system more carefully, maybe ask questions.
07:03:15 Devastator: Nah, watching videos.
07:03:23 Devastator: Lets get a couple others and hold a few matches.
07:03:33 Devastator: or put it on the forums.
07:03:48 Devastator: Might need tweaks, but looks like a lot of fun.
07:04:00 syComp: I'm reluctat to post a testgame on the forums whn I haven't updated my actual game in a month.
07:04:34 Devastator: Let
ER post it for you or something.
07:04:42 syComp: Think I will rename Dragon Flash to Ashina Cross.
ER's playstyle in that little test very much felt like the Ashina Elite mooks.
07:04:49 syComp: I'll just update my damn game.
07:05:21 ER: But ashina elite mooks are countered by dodging in which is all that
dev tried to do :P
07:05:44 syComp: Correction: Ashina Elite are countered by dodging *well*.
07:06:06 syComp: Also if you parry them you can deathblow them after the first parry.
07:06:33 Devastator: Yeah, that was another thing I was thinking of.
07:06:36 ER: yeah but I'm terrible at that and trying just made my health bar disappear
07:12:27 Devastator: Outside of T1 I did dodge/counter twice successfully..
07:13:42 syComp: You were in a kinda hilariously bad situation there.
07:14:17 syComp: At range:1 against the two close-combat styles, with a charge attack prepped...
07:14:20 Devastator: ..would have been just fine if I was at range 2 to start that turn. ;-p
07:14:53 Devastator: then it would have been dodge initial attack, counter only possible enemy attack, and be at range 3 for another dragon slash..
07:15:11 syComp: Which would be a win, really.
07:15:31 Devastator: We'd have been equal once more.
07:15:34 syComp: He'd have his held attack disabled, and you'd be at range 3 with double-mobility styles.
07:15:40 ER: some day I'll have a turn of two prepped ashina crosses followed by quad ichi ;P
07:16:41 syComp: You'd *still* be in a bad way because Shura is a bad match against Ashina and with Mobility, but eh.
07:18:07 syComp: Honestly, I still think counter is decent. Negates an attack, and gets you some chip damage through guard, on a late priority, while acting as something to plan around.
07:18:14 Devastator: Would have spammed floating passage / jab.
07:18:25 syComp: Maybe quickstep could use two i-frames, though.
07:19:10 ER: the problem with counter is that there's several things that counter *it* and it's the closest thing to a defensive option that shura has
07:19:31 syComp: (working as intended :P)
07:19:48 syComp: Just giving four posture damage to a successful dodge would work, I guess.
07:20:00 Devastator: That would help a lot, yeah.
07:20:21 syComp: Same as a light hit, essentially doubles counter's damage, gives quickstep a boost, especially if opponent hits twice in one priority.
07:20:41 syComp: Though that's a rarity, due to the spread of priorities.
07:20:59 Devastator: of course, too much defense and it's less stabby.
07:22:13 syComp: Hum. How about just making *all* misses deal 4 posture damage to the guy missing? So if you whiff while they're out of range, you still get unbalanced?
07:22:22 syComp: Might be too much of a buff to Mobility.
07:22:52 Devastator: Maybe. I was thinking 1 or maybe 2.
07:22:57 ER: this all sounds like a terrible idea because I never play mobility
07:23:42 syComp: Didn't I start with B/M in the first fight? Then started winning after swapping to B/S, and finally S/S?
07:23:46 ER: also it would mean that if I SCPSCP while out of range I instantly break myself :V
07:23:54 syComp: I didn't win with mobility, therefore mobility needs a buff. :P
07:24:10 syComp: Oh, yeah. Too much of a nerf to rapid attacks, yes.
07:24:17 syComp: So only 4 P damage on dodges.
07:24:53 ER: it means that I'd almost *rather* get hit out of a rapid combo
07:25:54 Devastator: Well, only if you're missing.
07:25:58 Devastator: and missing by being dodged.
07:26:52 syComp: We're talking about out-of-range misses also dealing P damage.
07:27:10 syComp: Even with the dodge buff, rapid attacks still handily counter dodges.
07:29:39 ER: I want sandwich. sandwich place opens in 7.5 hours
07:30:15 Devastator: sandwich or sandvich?
07:30:53 ER: hmm, let's tell my phone to beep at noon
07:32:24 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
07:32:28 syComp has left #einsteinianroulette
07:33:24 ER: nine hour timer set, now I just have to sleep
07:33:35 ER: sleep is a handy way to pass time
07:34:03 ER has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
07:34:17 syv: Oh yeah, you're his internet girlfriend.
07:37:51 syv: Well, you're definitely tsundere, and tsundere is *totally*
ER's type.
07:38:10 Devastator: Whatever tsundere means.
07:44:34 Devastator: Hmm, maybe I should move through anime character tropes in games in general..
07:49:02 syv: ...Wait, you don't know that term, but you're a fan of Yandere Simulator? Or was your interest in it purely passing and minor?
07:49:53 Devastator: Hmm? I don't speak Japanese. I've encountered Yandere Simulator, but I wouldn't call myself a superfan.
07:50:58 syv: I wouldn't call you a superfan either, just someone liked the idea and followed it to a low extent. I.E. a normal fan.
07:52:00 syv: Yandere is a closely related term though, and all but the most cursory investigation of what it means would turn up the other *dere archetypes, of which tsundere is the most well-known one.
07:53:54 Devastator: Hmm, Alida finding a crush after becoming a werewolf would be hilarious. ;-p
07:54:12 Devastator: (not that hilarious.)
07:54:20 Devastator: but worth about 90 seconds of chuckling.
07:55:47 syv: I think I'd just find it very uncomfortable.
07:56:20 Devastator: In all honesty, I'd expect someone to have some kinda love interest at some point. Maybe one of the new characters.
07:56:26 Devastator: Or not, since you don't like that aspect.
07:57:05 Devastator: ..I also like it when characters realize they've made horrible mistakes.
07:58:14 Devastator: always a fun moment, that.
07:58:38 syv: I'd expect almost everyone to have love interests at some point, unless they just died early. They're teenagers. Teenage *girls*.
08:01:30 Devastator: although that character is pretty self absorbed.
08:03:39 syv: Obviously her love interest would be her father. You want horrible mistakes, right?
08:16:28 Devastator: looks like tournament arc in K6BD.
08:16:44 Devastator: maybe the author realized that the strip is better when it's just fights and weird shit instead of world stuff.
08:18:14 parisbre56[Away] is now known as parisbre56
08:18:27 parisbre56 is now known as parisbre56[Away]
08:20:18 syv: (
syv) Obviously her love interest would be her father. You want horrible mistakes, right?
08:21:07 syv: Absolutely no portion of this would make any sense if that were referring to any other character.
08:21:22 Devastator: Eh I could see Alida doing the hero worship thing a bit. That would qualify. And probalby not be NO! worthy.
08:22:03 syv: Alida's love interest can't be her father because Alida's father is dead.
08:22:21 syv: Even if he was, I doubt
Paris would say "NO!" in response.
08:22:35 Devastator: Lemme check Ada's sheet again.
08:22:45 syv: And beyond both of those, it'd be completely random and unconnected for me to suddenly be talking about Alida and her father.
08:24:53 Devastator: Well, that would be a horrible mistake, yes.
08:24:58 syv: That's not actually happening, don't worry.
08:25:01 Devastator: but lots and lots of room for horrible mistakes.
08:25:24 Devastator: I do hope it's Ada's Father, not Ada ... any love interest that's a NO!.
08:26:16 Devastator: Ada's probably one of the better candidates for that.
08:27:08 syv: In terms of player, absolutely, but in terms of personality I think she'd be a lot better off if she had someone else who cared about her. That's way too positive for PS.
08:27:39 Devastator: Could have a stalker or something lke that.
08:29:24 Devastator: That wouldn't be way too positive.
08:31:03 syv: Sure. Still falls into the problem that I ain't writing that.
08:31:40 syv: I think Ada would go full yandere and just murder a stalker. Or at the very least yell at them, maybe beat them up if they didn't desist.

08:32:40 Devastator: Would you write a magical girl murdering a stalker?
08:32:48 parisbre56: No way I'm roleplaying that
08:32:54 parisbre56: referring to the father thing
08:33:38 Devastator: Maybe the next round of new characters.
08:34:05 parisbre56: just too weird for me. just thinking about it makes me feel bad
08:34:33 syv: I wasn't actually suggesting that, I was making a sarcastic joke.
08:34:45 parisbre56: heh. yeah, I get it
08:34:49 Devastator: The stuff I talk about isn't really going to happen to any serious degree.
08:34:57 Devastator: It's mostly for the fun of it.
08:37:57 Devastator: Ada does seem like an interesting character, though.
08:38:15 parisbre56: as for interactions with love interests... I dunno, I think friendship is more likely target. Besides, she likes men and there are not many around. unless you count Pumsy
08:40:20 syv: I would suggest not pursuing romance with Pumsy.
08:40:37 syv: I'll quite happily write the results, which should tell you enough.
08:43:23 Devastator: or go for it,
paris.
08:43:50 parisbre56: well, now I'm certainly curious
08:44:03 parisbre56: not sure if I'm curious enough to Maurice it
08:45:02 Devastator: I don't think Ada has one of those.
08:47:08 parisbre56: hey, she has TM3 and some Creativity~
08:49:33 Devastator: but I'm the one with the round, blunt object.
08:53:32 parisbre56: fine. go I ahead and use it then. it's not like I care what you do with it, b-baka
08:53:47 parisbre56: ...though if you insist I guess I could be forced to listen
09:00:36 syv: Yes. That specific word is the tsundere meme thing.
09:02:12 Devastator: The sign that the angry person is not actually angry.
09:29:48 parisbre56: I should actually get some work done. later
09:29:53 parisbre56 is now known as parisbre56[Away]
09:53:25 Devastator: so Pumsy Romance = dead bodies.
09:54:11 Devastator: "Don't worry, Ada, I've turned your father into a piece of jewellry, now he won't bother you anymore! And you can still touch the gem if you want to talk to him."
09:58:35 syv: ANY Romance = dead bodies.
10:00:30 Devastator: "You shall not love. Those you love shall die."

sy made a duel ruleset?

15:08:05 midnightjaguar: How’re you
Piecewise?
15:08:41 Piecewise: Watched Nausica in theaters yesterday
15:08:59 Piecewise: Nausica of the valley of the wind
15:09:32 midnightjaguar: I feel like I should know that but I’m drawing a blank.
15:10:05 midnightjaguar: Cool, not what I was thinking of, but cool.
15:10:54 midnightjaguar: How’s school going?
15:11:37 Piecewise: Got my bachelor's, getting stuff ready for master's application and doing Continuing Education stuff for my license.
15:12:03 midnightjaguar: Cool. What’s the masters going to be in?
15:13:26 Piecewise: Were you here for
sy's system last night?
15:13:30 Piecewise: I'm here to steeeeeal
15:15:02 midnightjaguar: I was there but not really paying attention was writing weirdly enough, a writing assignment for Ochem.
15:16:14 Piecewise: how is organic chem going? Are you enjoying your endless varieties of carbon mangles?
15:17:17 midnightjaguar: Eh, I’m retaking it but it’s not so bad on the retake. The endless memorization gets old though.
15:17:58 Piecewise: I don't mind normal chem but organic chem with its massive varieties of very similar molecules seems quite annoying
15:20:09 Piecewise: Very interesting though
15:20:51 Piecewise: There's a book on it I like called the machinery of life
15:22:55 Piecewise: Has hand painted and accurate cutaways of various microscopic biological mechanisms
15:36:11 midnightjaguar: That’s really cool
15:36:50 midnightjaguar: But yeah the fact that they all are really similar and do wildly different things when you expose them to the same compound gets aggravating.
15:38:56 Piecewise: Stupid bendy proteins
15:39:06 Piecewise: getting all tangled up and doing different stuff
15:42:29 midnightjaguar: Hmm, well I should go, got class and stuff.

18:52:13 ER: last night I left this channel saying "I love you" and then they talked about potential romance in
syv's game
18:53:22 ER: yeah, looking back there was direct causation there
18:53:41 ER: the way that topic came up was me saying that and leaving
18:54:16 ER: which is sort f ironic because it's definately something that I'd want to talk about :P
18:54:59 Piecewise:
sy romance system eh
18:55:54 ER: while walking back here I did for a few moments entertain the idea of running a romance RTD
18:56:25 ER: ...but honestly it seems like it would have too much potential to be creepy?
19:06:49 parisbre56[Away] is now known as parisbre56
19:07:15 parisbre56: hey, that could work. do some sort of Anime romance simulator
19:07:32 parisbre56: Control your blush stats
19:07:48 parisbre56: attack by saying the other's first name
19:08:17 parisbre56: but make sure to roll well or you might end up getting scared and running away
19:08:33 parisbre56: and when you finally succeed you get to hold hands
19:10:10 ER: I'd need to set it in some kind of absurd fantasy universe because I always do. Wonder what brand of madness works well as a backdrop to romantic shenanigans.
19:12:34 ER: maybe just use my ocean setting with its dramatic landscapes and adorable people-animals
19:16:36 ER: oh, or just do a mage dating game, yeah :V
19:16:44 ER: wizards make everything better
19:18:49 parisbre56: [s] make a completely separate Mecha piloting game that runs parallel to it and is completely irrelevant [/s]
19:20:44 ER: mech mercenaries fighting giant magical monsters and cavalry charging massed infantry, meanwhile mages having an anime romance

20:29:37 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
21:02:59 Piecewise: The dance of quiters
21:03:59 ER: I just let my computer sleep while I went for a walk
21:07:21 Piecewise: Hat in time's devs confuse me
21:13:01 Piecewise: They have some odd procommunist stuff in their game for some reason
21:14:29 Piecewise: but its kind of joking? But kind of not
21:14:51 Piecewise: I'm just not sure what to think of it because they're not really jokes
21:15:04 Piecewise: but they're not serious enough to seem like they're saying something
21:15:57 ER: eh, looks the same as like 25% on what's on b12's GD
21:18:08 ER: I assume you never go there
21:21:23 ER: basis for an arena combat RTD has formed in my brain
21:22:14 ER: game's called Keofma, which stands for "kill each other for my amusment" and is also the name of the host/antagonist
21:22:42 Piecewise: What system would it use? Combat in PBP is always annoying
21:23:27 ER: probably several mental stats which act as HP
21:25:02 ER: Potentially make attacks resolve on the defender's turn so they get to choose how to deal with it
21:26:12 ER: Maybe you can spend a chunk of willpower or focus to take both offensive and defensive action on the same turn?
21:27:20 ER: Before each fight, a talking cat pops up and offers you your choice of one item, with a selection of mundane and more mysterious things.
21:28:03 Piecewise: what was
sy's dual system about?
21:28:56 ER: can take two actions per turn, one with each hand
21:29:21 ER: there are five different fighting styles and you can pick one for each of your hands
21:30:07 ER: fighting styles each have three moves that you can pick from.
21:31:01 ER: regardless of your style, you can use an action to move forwards or backwards or switch the style of one of your hands.
21:31:23 Piecewise: So is it basically complex rock paper scissors?
21:32:26 ER: um, isn't any turn based game?
21:33:31 ER: when you play chess you have a certain finite number of options, some of which might be countered by other things
21:40:21 Piecewise: He was obviously beaten to death by fans
21:40:47 Piecewise: so did
sy have a file or text or something for this thing?
21:41:26 ER: I'll forward it to you on b12
22:16:48 Piecewise: Doing CE stuff right now
23:37:50 Piecewise: Don't make me get shadman
23:38:09 Piecewise: yes I believe he will
23:38:54 Piecewise: Amusingly during a school presentation using the impossibles as subject matter someone used an image of a violet model from scuddbutt
23:39:18 ER: I don't know what that means
23:39:40 Piecewise: hmm was it scudbutt? What was that....let me look
23:41:26 Piecewise: This image specifically
23:42:02 Piecewise: its actually completely clean
23:42:24 Piecewise: but the guy does 3d porn so I was amused to see his name connected to a school project
23:43:51 ER: from the boring movie that I didn't know that people actually like I guess?~
23:45:46 Piecewise: but its disney so...add +3 points to the score
23:53:04 ER: mouse is tiny and weak creature
23:53:20 ER: I crush its skull between molars
