00:16:28 ER: hmm, just use infantry to steal money from antagonistic orginizations until I can build a giant robot?
00:17:44 Devastator: Sounds like a plan.
00:17:55 Devastator: but if your funding hits zero, you'll be disbanded.
00:18:28 ER: ...ooh, probably want to make the superheavy mech aquatic. Moving anything superheavy fast enough to react will be hard, but combined with tracking stations you could just go fight them early
00:18:56 ER: argh, see, this is why boates are good
00:20:09 Devastator: well then lemme know when you want to design a bote.
00:20:32 Devastator: I'll figure out something about the airfield bit if you build one.
00:34:50 ER: well, a Small bote probably won't be very useful
00:37:52 Devastator: you probably want a bote to be at least medium.
00:37:57 Devastator: and that's pretty small for a bote.
00:42:11 Devastator: Although, as the rules work, a small boat would be ok.
00:49:34 Devastator: and fuck that weapon.
00:49:43 Devastator: it's the nastiest weapon ever given to an alien in X-Com.
00:53:25 Devastator: once hit by it your agent isn't dead, but is standing there naked.

01:13:48 Devastator has quit [*.net *.split]
01:13:48 Elastic_Ridicule is now known as ER
01:14:07 Devastator has joined #einsteinianroulette
01:36:46 Devastator: Oh, that explains things.
01:36:59 Devastator: you can't stun grapple an alien more than a certain amount of max damage in Apoc.
01:45:11 ER: the grenades in metal slug are stick grenades, right?
01:46:28 Devastator: and used in quantity.
01:47:11 ER: I'm going to suggest to the drunkard skeleton that it might be a pouch overfilling with beer bottles
02:08:28 Devastator: no in-thread questions.
02:21:31 Devastator: should we just fight each other, or are you ok if we fight other things?
02:22:31 ER: Well, proper planning involves deciding what happens when you don't do as I tell you, I suppose :V
02:23:05 Devastator: (slightly disappointed that I cannot simply "Run right") ;-p
02:23:45 ER: you'll be able to go, oh, just about forever.
02:32:29 ER: turns out, working makes me feel more tired! :P
02:34:36 Devastator wouldn't mind having the catgirl question asked in-thread, though, so I could give direction to others as to research projects.
02:34:49 Devastator: but it might limit creativity by giving an example like that.
02:35:21 ER: probably won't bring it up until I actually have the lab
02:36:54 Devastator: building/upgrading it now?
02:42:00 Devastator: btw, 2 turns means you can use it next month.
02:42:03 Devastator: 3 turns means you can't.
02:42:37 ER: do they take different amounts of time?
02:43:38 Devastator: Yes. Building one takes 3 turns.
02:43:44 Devastator: upgrading to one takes one less.
02:44:24 ER: well bah, I want me small lab too! >:|
02:46:12 Devastator: so upgrade to med and build a small.
02:47:51 ER: I'll be pilifering whatever coffers The Hand gets their funding from soon anyways~
02:48:41 ER: Would I be more likely to get money out of them if I do an intel action to find the source of their funding first?
02:49:00 Devastator: I'm fine with you putting your teams on looking for funding instead of what they're doing now, looking for THE PLAN.
02:49:15 Devastator: that is, their funding.
02:49:55 ER: I mean, if I just raid them without doing that will I get less money than if I found it, then raided them?
02:51:07 Devastator: I'd have to examine a bunch of things.
02:51:19 Devastator: Probably depends on how you'd approach it. Yeah, you can make money from a raid.
02:51:30 Devastator: but you might get more by tapping the source directly.
02:51:42 Devastator: knowing where their money lies before the raid would help, yeah.
02:51:58 Devastator: but it's not really a 'less'
02:52:11 Devastator: Also, this is being logged..
02:52:15 ER: Other tack, of course, if that I use my infiltration to manipulate them into inventing things on their own dime, and steal their designs. :V
02:53:22 Devastator: That sounds like an interesting idea.
02:53:31 Devastator: but you might need to do some more work there.
02:53:41 ER: I'll send my spies to scrub
paris's site of this conversation later
02:54:36 ER: so that
syv will never know that I'm not telling him about the very dangerous terrorist orginization because I was too busy thinking about how to brutally exploit them
02:54:38 Devastator: For something like that you'll probably need a new building and a research into it, to liase with them without alerting the Council.
02:55:00 Devastator: I'd let you then switch that to other NPC orgs in the future if you change your mind.
02:56:34 ER: 1: secretly provide the hand with experimental weaponry
02:56:59 ER: 2: the hand uses experimental weaponry to conquer vulnerable nations
02:57:35 ER: 3: embezzle stolen funds from them while they're distracted by administration
03:23:58 Devastator: just don't skip the catgirls. ;-p
03:39:12 ER: giant robots under the sea. crewed by catgirls. under the influence of psychedelics
03:39:42 ER: I'm not sure where that bit came from. might indicate that my brain is ready for sleep now
03:40:08 ER: maybe the catgirls just have a weapons platform submarine
03:40:11 Devastator: I think we've had botes from you.
03:40:15 Devastator: psychedelics from someone else.
03:40:22 Devastator: although I think you weren't the only person to bring up botes.
03:41:17 ER: can psychedelics improve the combat efficacy of catgirls?
03:41:28 ER: literally the only way to find out is to try it
03:41:36 Devastator: You'll have to ask that guy.
03:41:43 Devastator: but yeah, mad scientists can do shit for you too.
03:50:07 Devastator: ahh, that's a great post.
03:50:17 Devastator: I hope the end result of everyone's projects is something ridiculous like that.
03:51:09 ER: build me combat shrooms, mad scientists
03:51:32 ER: build me shrooms that will give my psionic abilities
03:55:01 syv has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:55:16 Devastator: just stepping out in a few minutes.
03:55:49 ER: I played the little demo of this, it was entertaining
03:56:33 Devastator: seems like a fun divesion, but I question the depth of gameplay.
03:58:45 Devastator: action would be a lot better.
04:02:57 ER: also reminds me of my Denature RTD
04:03:42 ER: for however OP the Carrion creature is, the creatures of that game would be way more
04:06:01 syv: Splitting infinitely does.
04:07:43 ER: three turns later, we reach the computational capacity of my brain and the universe crashes
04:07:55 ER: see, probably a good thing I never tried that one
04:08:39 ER: they just do all the things that the Thing does
04:09:39 ER: its blood rebels when seperated from the greater mass!
04:13:06 ER: naturegirl's bone spider reminded me of the very cool disturbing spider monster in hunt: showdown
04:13:43 syv: You wanna play that game again?
04:16:00 ER: feel like having a sleep right now
04:21:20 er has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:22:16 er: They're terrorists. They want to take over the world or something, maybe even ally with the kaiju
04:23:05 er: Once we get a kaiju free action phase, we should raid them together, crack their vault, and split the loot
04:43:26 Devastator: Do note that you don't need a free action phase.
04:43:39 Devastator: you can do more than one thing in one.
04:44:44 Devastator: Also, Cabal update.
04:45:40 Devastator: I'm sure there will be some evil plan at work.
