05:32:59 MidJag: nothing much, I managed to get a guy to seriouslly conside rushing my fraternity while standing in a line for food so clearly my social skills have improved since freshman year.~
05:34:12 MidJag: It's the term for looking at different fraternities and considering joining one.
05:35:28 MidJag: So like during Rush which is typically the frist couple of weeks of class in either Fall or spring people rush fraternities, which is where you just go to a bunch of parties and meet other people, then you get a bid, which is where fraternities extended an invitation to join, and then if you accept the bid your a pledge and then become a brother after pledgeship.
05:37:04 MidJag: So most people, such yours truelly will rush during their first semster of college, which is fall, but some people like to wait until spring to rush, and other people will wait until their sophmore year to rush.
05:40:13 MidJag: Some people do that because their worried about grades and stuff, but personally I think the best time to rush is first semster freshman year, your new on campus it's a good way to meet a bunch of people, and that way pledgeship doesn't disrupt any other extracurricular your doing and most people don't take very hard fall freshman classes.
05:42:54 Devastator: plus that's the easiest time.
05:43:01 Devastator: you might be busy later on!
05:46:57 MidJag: So what've you been up to?
05:48:00 Devastator: rereading Rendezvous with Rama.
05:49:11 Devastator: one of the foundation novels of science fiction.
05:49:55 MidJag: Is this the one with the world in the ring?
05:50:57 Devastator: It is the one with the cylindrical space ship, yes.
05:51:53 MidJag: I've been trying to get my masters figured out.
05:52:34 Devastator: still don't understand your own topic?
05:52:58 MidJag: heh, nah, just figureing out like what program to take.
05:54:15 MidJag: As it would appear as if I can't do the one I was planning on doing because long story short a deadline was missed.
05:55:44 MidJag: Pretty much. Both my own and other peoples.
05:55:57 MidJag: So I'm probably going to end up doing the one year non thesis one.
05:57:00 Devastator: and not fine like the flaming dog?
05:57:57 MidJag: heh, hopefully not, I really do think it should work out well.
06:00:53 Devastator: Maybe I should run "You are space bounty hunter."
06:02:40 Devastator: like 50% han solo, 50% cowboy bebop.
06:03:42 Devastator: now a SG or like a team game?
06:04:36 Devastator: A SG of that would be good.
06:05:06 MidJag: team might be harder to do.
06:08:18 Devastator: but you know, maybe even a buddy would be good.
06:08:18 Devastator: like 'just two people'
06:08:19 Devastator: could have a SG with a NPC team.
06:08:20 Devastator: but team could be like Barbarians! with bounty hunters.
06:08:22 Devastator: Barbarians! with bounty hunters sounds really good, actually.
06:12:34 Devastator: I added too many mechanics to that.
06:12:38 Devastator: should have only had the one.
06:12:46 Devastator: d2. 50% of of the time you succeed flawlessly.
06:12:57 Devastator: 50% of the time you succeed, but take a slight wound or something.
06:20:37 Devastator: also didn't keep the purple prose going long enough.
06:21:11 Devastator: it was the raison d'etra of the whole game.
06:22:43 MidJag: The purple prose was fun
06:23:44 Devastator: I think I could manage that better now.
06:23:53 Devastator: Extinction is good practice for rapid updates.
06:34:19 Devastator: although good thing
NJW told willis to hold off.
06:34:27 Devastator: you would have been fine, but Willis would then be out of mana.

06:37:52 MidJag_: This new mac update does some nice UI things, but it makes it incredibly difficult to tell at a glance wether or not your computer is still connected to a wifi network
06:40:14 MidJag_: Oh hey appernetly I can drag the wifi icon back to where it's supposed to be. Handy
06:44:29 Devastator: agg, too many games I want to run.
06:44:42 Devastator: I have to get Trence finished.
07:01:48 Devastator: and 2.5 full acts to go..
07:03:23 MidJag_: Do a hiatus once the last half is done?
07:04:36 Devastator: not for enough time to run a complete game.
07:04:40 Devastator: besides, I still have Sh 2.
07:07:07 MidJag_: Yeah, I quite liked the first one and I liked reading parts of the second one.
07:08:13 Devastator: well, no bronze sword this time around.
07:09:00 Devastator: and glad you liked it.
07:09:05 Devastator: I wasn't sure if anyone really liked that one.
07:09:29 MidJag_: Nah, I think people liked it.
07:13:05 Devastator: the trap on the book.
07:14:23 Devastator: also amusing with the languages.
07:14:30 Devastator: across the sea is latin-style characters.
07:14:36 Devastator: alphabetic characters.
07:14:52 Devastator: the southern jungle nations are basically like the language that predated cambodian.
07:15:00 Devastator: the unknown language is basically korean.
07:16:30 Devastator: also the bit about Zhao Zhiji's signet ring was simple. He had one for Zhao Zhiji the assasin, and one for his normal everyday life.
07:16:37 Devastator: never compared the two.
07:19:40 Devastator: also that armed foreigner at the end was the result of a terrible roll.
07:19:52 Devastator: basically he's going to be a huge pain in the ass.
07:23:04 Devastator: often I roll to see just how rough a target someone is, when an opponent or something shows up.
07:23:21 Devastator: you want low rolls for those.
07:24:16 MidJag_: I'm concenred what would have happened with a 12/12
07:24:23 MidJag_: A fucking fully armored knight?
07:25:16 Devastator: the second 12 meant 'foreigner'
07:25:31 Devastator: This guy is merely a master swordsman with a magic sword. ;-p
07:27:16 Devastator: I remember Sh 1, when you passed up on ~2500 silver worth of precious metal, that would have been worth more across the sea, for your job.
07:36:13 Devastator: Should have stolen it, maybe.
07:36:33 Devastator: I mean, you had a bucket full of nickle silver. ;-p
07:37:29 MidJag_: But stealing is wrong~
07:37:48 MidJag_: But yeah probably would have been a good idea
07:37:56 MidJag_: Or we would have flubbed the roll
07:40:31 Devastator: A crit fumble would have been no worse than 1/6th the value.
07:46:19 MidJag_: well I should go to bed
