00:12:46 Egan: nah, clearly unreasonable ;p
00:16:32 Devastator: it kinda is, but en.
00:16:41 Devastator: you're a creepy spiderbeast with supernatural sniping skill.
00:16:49 Devastator: Ada has literally two bodies walking around.
00:17:06 Devastator: and Alida is wearing an inexplicably pristine magical girl outfit and can turn into an oversized wolf.
00:58:58 Devastator: Okay, this fanfic is amusing. A post Worm Taylor gets dropped into the body of a first-year hogwarts student.
00:59:27 Devastator: "You used magic to make something to kill with non-magically?"
00:59:44 Devastator: "How did you know how to kill a Troll with a knife?"
00:59:50 Devastator: "I grew up in a rough neighbourhood."
01:11:17 Devastator: ...goddamn Victoria AI.
01:11:29 Devastator: "Wow, 95% turmoil. How the hell does that happen?"
01:12:34 Devastator: I check, and 152,000 people are working in ranches with the productivity of 1.2 pounds a year per person.

01:23:32 Devastator: mmm, well, I closed ranches so that 80,000 people can feed themselves as peasants, so it should bring down the radicals. Building some modern industries will take longer. Not in the least because of the massive turmoil caused by so many angry people.
01:24:11 Devastator: normally mass closing a building like that pisses off lots of people, but you can't be a double-radical, so in this case it doesn't matter.
01:37:41 Devastator: (The way the game works it'll take generations to get them to not be rebellious, but I should be able to bring them down from 'ludicrously angry' to 'low levels of disruption due to angry people' before too long.)
01:37:51 Devastator: mostly by fixing their economy.
01:50:03 Devastator: It does look like I'm going to make my goal, though.
01:50:21 Devastator: I'm 20 points short of being accorded a Great Power. I can get that with a dozen ships and twenty thousand men.
01:50:37 Devastator: well, a dozen ships is like a hundred-fifty points, but that's good too.
01:55:04 Devastator: Although I was kinda amused at my best game as a rift valley nation. There are things you can do like Quest for the Source of the Nile. In that game it would have consisted of getting on a train at Dar-es-Salaam and riding it to the rift lakes. ;-p
02:03:43 Devastator: I think the authour is enjoying drawing angel wings.
02:05:42 Egan: love the introduction is just the most badass whale as a random encounter
02:05:53 Devastator: I'm not sure I'd call it a whale.
02:06:06 Egan: a random encounter scaled to white chain and solomon's level :p
02:06:16 Devastator: It's got a horizontal tailfin.
02:06:47 Egan: maybe more of a dolphin since it's got pointy sharp teef
02:07:06 Devastator: So do killer whales.
02:11:42 Devastator: they're really just big dolphins.
02:11:51 Devastator: although I've heard they're not assholes like dolphins.
02:13:05 Egan: more laid back because they can just kill anything they want and don't have complex social structures, I guess
02:15:07 Devastator: No, they have complex social structures.
02:15:16 Devastator: the ones off BC are well documented.
02:15:33 Devastator: Although there are more dolphins, so they're probably less complex than dolphins.
02:31:54 Devastator: Yeah, it's somewhat ridiculous that random encounters scale up to White Chain and Solomon's level.
02:31:59 Devastator: even with Solomon being a lot weaker.
02:32:35 Devastator: Although it does remind me of the KILLBOSS.
02:37:34 Devastator: Is it a name? A Title? A Job Description? All of the above?
02:38:49 Devastator: But clearly he was a random encounter scaled to Allison.
02:42:05 Egan: he actually seemed stronger than her
02:43:56 Devastator: Eh, Allison got verbally smacked down for having sloppy technique.
02:44:05 Devastator: and she was able to tank anything Killboss hit her with.
02:44:22 Devastator: Seemed like a reasonable encounter to me. I don't think White Chain was lying about that.
02:45:07 Egan: well, she certainly has hitpoints for days
02:45:34 Egan: but didn't really succeed in hurting killboss at all by herself
02:46:01 Devastator: No, but that might have just been sloppy technique.
02:46:07 Egan: just for "this guy knows how to play this game" reasons
02:46:23 Devastator: I think she could have kicked the Killboss's ass with a few more tries.
02:46:49 Egan: yeah, after breaking a couple more walls with her face
02:48:35 Devastator: Hey, that's what walls are for!
02:48:57 Devastator: If they didn't want them to be broken with her face, they shoulda made them stronger! ;-p
02:55:07 Devastator: Mind you, Allison did survive the unsurviveable kill-everything attack.
02:55:19 Devastator: (Totally unlike tanking one of Spar Hessom's attacks.)
02:56:36 Egan: she survived it, but it did also do a bit more than superficial damage
02:58:17 Egan: a keyholder can probably keep fighting pretty well down an arm and a leg and an eye, but being forcibly severed from cio and white chain at the same time was very effective!
02:59:12 Devastator: Mmm, that's a point.
02:59:24 Devastator: that was the true hit. Cio took the same blow.
02:59:30 Devastator: ...but White Chain did not.
02:59:36 Devastator: Huh. Wonder if that means anything?
03:00:46 Devastator: Also, another whale.
03:05:07 Devastator: And also also, here's your hitpoints for days.
03:06:09 Egan: that's not life points, that's card text
03:06:22 Egan: "when this creature would take damage, it doesn't."
03:07:56 Devastator: This creature's toughness is equal to the amount of damage it takes, plus one.
03:08:14 Devastator: "How are you still standing?"
03:09:09 Devastator: But yeah, I think she's properly immortal at this point.
03:09:15 Egan: alternatively, "this attack deals damage equal to the amount necessary to kill the target"
03:09:17 Devastator: she got not cut by the maybe sword.
03:10:18 Egan: the cut was so fine that she simply decided to not have her torso slide off for a second and then all the molecular bonds were remade
03:11:19 Devastator: like King and the apple.
03:42:56 Devastator: I hope it continues.

04:42:12 Devastator: "Yet there wasn't any other leverage to deal with the hat. As far as I could tell, it didn't have friends. It didn't eat, didn't drink, didn't do much of anything. It didn't have knees you could break, and the thought of torturing a hat was ludicrous."
04:44:00 Devastator: I can't think of any, actually.
04:45:26 Egan: google image search for "tortured hat" might give you some
04:46:21 Devastator: Eh, I'm sure I'm on every watchlist already.
04:47:00 Devastator: first page is ai-generated links to merch sites.
04:47:25 Egan: I haven't tried any googling since AI bullshit became the norm, must suck now
04:48:18 Devastator: Actually, it's been quite good.
04:48:27 Devastator: unless you look for something that doesn't exist.
04:50:20 Egan: I'll make sure to describe a hat as being metaphorically tortured at some point
04:50:48 Devastator: I'm sure, somewhere in the annals of fiction, someone has once tortured a hat.
04:50:56 Devastator: maybe I'll write that in Mistakes.
04:51:00 Devastator: the bird does hold grudges.
04:58:11 Devastator: And having to figure out how to torture a hat is an interesting challenge.
04:58:28 Devastator: Plus ludicrous isn't something that'll stop bird-logic.
05:06:28 Devastator: you know, I had to instruct basically everyone in that shop as to the nature of the hazardous chemicals on site.
05:06:37 Devastator: because I was the only one there who really understood them all.
05:07:58 Devastator: I remember getting written up for 'not wanting to improve how this was situated', when I said how I wanted to improve how they were situated while not moving their physical locations.
05:08:23 Devastator: because the best place to store the barrel of acid was right between the two large metal pillars that ensured nobody could bump into them by accident.
05:08:50 Devastator: while it was right on top of the trench.
05:09:15 Devastator: There were things to improve, but the barrel should remain right in that particular location.

06:09:48 Devastator: looks like I might make my goal to be an african great power this game.
06:12:40 Devastator: did discover new and wonderous ways for the AI to shaft its own economies.
06:13:11 Devastator: Also the american ammo market was a temporary thing. They were at war.
06:17:25 Devastator: Although, really, I mock it too much. It can do a pretty good job of building an economy. It's just that there are like a dozen major pitfall traps and fairly often it'll wander around and fall into one of them. Then that country is hooped.
06:18:32 syv: Doesn't seem wholly unreasonable
06:18:44 syv: Countries seem to sometimes just screw themselves over for a myriad of reasons
06:23:31 Devastator: Yeah. A couple patches should close some of those holes.
