Start of #Exalted buffer: Tue Jul 22 22:07:51 2008 [16:26:12] Hm.Half an hour, and we're missing people [16:31:27] * Il_Dice (demota@c-67-188-135-127.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [16:40:36] Man, I really want to try the VEATs now [16:40:39] They seem really cool. [16:40:51] What's your highest villian, Dem? [16:42:36] 38 or so [16:43:27] * Charles nods [16:43:39] I'll try to get Emily to a level where I can SK you, then [16:43:55] * Demota nods [16:43:56] 1d20 [16:43:56] Demota rolls 1D20: 19 [16:45:58] Is it a five level difference? [16:46:21] * Darkheart (lol@67.233.166.244) has joined #Exalted [16:46:27] 4 [16:51:18] * NovaSeaker (Novaseaker@cpe-24-168-45-216.si.res.rr.com) has joined #Exalted [16:51:25] Eyo [16:51:50] hi [16:52:01] oi [16:52:14] No sign of Lee. [16:54:25] no luck fixing the ports, either [16:54:34] Thought they were fixed? [16:54:52] It worked for a brief amount of time [16:55:00] And now the thing doesn't show up in the router settings [16:55:08] When I try to re-open 1024 again, ti says there's a port conflict [16:55:15] But there aren't any other ports that use it. [16:55:20] i'm kind of at the end of my rope. [16:55:35] Man, I forgot how much I disliked being a mastermind. :smith: [16:58:50] ...That was eerie [16:59:07] I hadn't played Emily for over a year and my hands went to the old masterbind keys [16:59:57] heh [17:00:07] I'm going to try to unplug the router and force a hard reset. [17:01:18] * Disconnected [17:02:43] * Attempting to rejoin channel #Exalted [17:02:43] * Rejoined channel #Exalted [17:02:43] * Topic is '#Exalted: You relieved yourself. Your condition became "like a mountain giving birth to the planet"| Stormreach: Delayed indefinately | Kobold Hall Sunday: Start on July 13 | Odal's Fen: Everyone is now level 2' [17:02:43] * Set by Yonjuuni!a@wnpgmb014ww-ad06-72-169.dynamic.mts.net on Thu Jul 17 00:18:20 [17:02:44] * Dicething (demota@c-67-188-135-127.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [17:02:49] * Il_Dice (demota@c-67-188-135-127.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [17:03:10] * Demota (demota@c-67-188-135-127.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [17:03:21] * Demota3 is now known as Demota [17:03:22] -> *nickserv* identify Myuutsuu [17:03:23] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota [17:03:26] * Dicething is now known as Il_Dice [17:03:31] Oh, hey, that helps explain why I was sucking. [17:03:42] I had my difficulty cranked up to Hurt Me More. [17:04:59] heh [17:05:31] ... eugh. I can finally try to re-open the ports in the router, but it doesn't work [17:05:36] Which made my minions useless, since there was a 6 level difference at least between them and enemies. [17:05:40] Wow, that sucks. :/ [17:05:45] I'm sick of this [17:05:50] everything i do is futile [17:05:55] i've been trying for years and years to get ports open [17:05:57] and nothing works [17:06:00] notning ever works [17:08:42] Where is lee [17:10:18] He hasn't said a word, has he? [17:10:40] no, I'll call him [17:11:36] He'll be here in a few min [17:11:51] k [17:11:55] What happened? [17:13:00] Huh. According to a tooltip, the Malta Group is several like-minded groups working together [17:13:06] Huh [17:13:35] mgmh. Nova, can you host GT tonight? [17:14:13] sure [17:14:21] Thanks. [17:14:24] Lee just said he was busy with something [17:14:25] I don't like feelng this helpless [17:15:48] * Jisar (allanimati@pool-96-224-128-56.nycmny.east.verizon.net) has joined #Exalted [17:16:12] Hey Lee [17:16:16] hiya [17:16:34] Hey [17:16:37] * Charles is now known as Pramesh [17:16:56] Hey [17:17:25] hi [17:17:42] * NovaSeaker is now known as Shavozama [17:18:34] Alright, #kht and #KHTOOC [17:19:30] Nova, GT up? [17:20:52] Rutsy? [17:21:49] yeah, GT up [17:22:03] 24.168.45.216 [17:23:50] * Demota frowns [17:24:04] If we end up with 3 players again, should we stop, or use the same setup as last time? [17:24:18] up to le DM [17:27:04] Everyone out of #KHTOOC. I need ops to set the topic [17:28:34] Everyone back in [17:28:40] I'm gonna change my prepared spell to flaming orb [17:29:13] Also, when I was typing that without looking, I said I was going to change my AIM status to flaming orb. What a weird misthink [17:29:20] Jisar should set his pog tio display Surges [17:29:23] hahaha [17:30:22] hahaha [17:31:01] Oh, what the hell, I'll do that too. [17:31:52] hahaha [17:32:24] I don't get it. :( [17:32:38] Nova, get in #KHTOOC [17:32:43] Yay! [17:33:08] Dem: Can you see AIM statuses? [17:33:40] No new pog for me, Dem? [17:34:25] Nope [17:35:10] Oh. Well then you don't get it because your AIM is outdated or Trillian. [17:35:24] I changed my AIM status to 'Flaming Orb'. [17:35:45] heh [17:35:51] Oh, balls. [17:35:59] * Mechazawa is now known as Ungyo [17:36:05] Mine is outdated too, but I still "got it" because I figured he was changing his status to that when he said "I'll do that too" [17:36:06] It's good that we're playing D&D now because I'm not gonna get any farther in CoV. :( [17:36:28] I'm in CoH [17:36:34] I'm a noob! [17:36:38] Heh. [17:36:41] We play on Victory. [17:36:55] My patron's sending me on missions to beat up the other archvillians. [17:37:06] heh. nice [17:37:09] haha [17:37:13] Which masterminds can't do. I mean, nobody can do it alone, but masterminds *especially* can't do it. [17:38:05] Because minions do attrition damage which AV defenses and regen basically cancel and their durability is such that an AV looking at them mean will destroy them [17:38:19] Geez [17:38:38] uhhh, I can fly? [17:38:43] Well, dont' they spawn as Elite Bosses if you're alone? [17:38:50] you speaka noob? [17:39:39] They do, I think, but I don't fancy my odds against Elite Bosses either [17:39:52] what level are you guys? [17:40:17] I have a load of low-level heroes and villians, then a level 40 villian on the server we play bads on. [17:40:52] And a level 50 scrapper on Virtue that I never play. [18:06:04] Oh, Dem, did you get a response from Mand about the fox? [18:06:35] Nope [18:06:55] the fox? [18:06:55] Dang. [18:07:29] It's a minor P4 spoiler. And so is saying it's a spoiler. So I guess now you know P4 involves a fox in some capacity. [18:07:32] GAME RUINED [18:08:48] haha [18:09:14] what's the best way to lvl? I'm new to MMos in general [18:09:23] Getting into huge groups [18:09:32] FUCK [18:09:43] YOU RUINED PERSONA FOREVER [18:09:48] A huge group that's at all coordinated becomes a ridiculous rapesquad and the XP bonus will lead to getting half a level per mission into your 20s [18:09:58] I REGRET NOTHING [18:10:08] ANOTHER SPOILER: THERE ARE ALSO TAROT CARDS [18:10:20] YOU ARE AN ABOMINATION [18:10:38] TRULY I AM HISTORY'S GREATEST MONSTER [18:10:39] NOOOOOO [18:10:48] I can never enjot the game now! [18:11:20] As a side note, I think I found proof that GameFAQS posters are actually worse than Youtube posters. [18:11:43] oh? [18:12:13] how so? [18:12:14] On Youtube, people were saying that they'd prefer if the fox was cuter instead of looking like a real adult fox. On GameFAQS there was a long thread, inspired by P4's fox, about what happens if someone has sex with a fox. :psyduck: [18:12:37] ... D: [18:12:38] hahaha [18:14:53] guys... [18:15:21] I'm sorry... I just don't think I want to play DnD anymore. Least not for now. [18:16:50] I just.. I'm not really interested it in right now [18:16:54] in it [18:17:09] :( [18:17:12] Today or? [18:17:35] Well, I'll continue today just cause it's crap if I leave mid-session [18:17:49] But... I don't think I want to be in weekly games anymore [18:18:05] online or overall? [18:18:09] overall [18:18:19] I just.. don't feel like playing lately. [18:18:27] really? No DnD? huh? [18:18:30] No offense, but I seriously wish that bitch was dead right now. [18:18:52] HOW DARE SHE TAKE THE LOVE OF DnD FROM YOU! [18:19:04] I need you to want to play DnD [18:19:05] I kept doing so partly because I was trying to get myself back into normal habits [18:19:06] Jesus Christ, I'm absolutely with Rusty. There's being in a funk, and then there's being ridiculous because some girl at a barbeque didn't return your phone calls fast enough. [18:19:15] God damn, Nova. [18:19:27] We're your friends. It sucks when it feels like you're avoiding us. [18:19:38] What about my dream of being able to play with you over a table top again? [18:19:43] this is Joe-level emo. [18:19:49] Joe? [18:19:57] Fucking christ guys, I'm not avoiding you and I'm not obessing over this girl. I'm obessing over me being alone. [18:20:14] You aren't when you're here having fun with us. [18:20:27] Except I haven't really been having fun. [18:20:34] But fuck it, I can't tell you what to do, but I can say that this is completely unlike you. [18:20:41] I've been going through the motions. [18:20:52] You're obsessing over being alone because of this girl. Which is silly. You're trying to get into a new set of habits which WILL NOT GET YOU WHAT YOU WANT [18:21:57] I mean, Christ, you sat in a bookstore reading sci-fi novel. That's even less likely to help you find someone than pissing away time on the internet, because at least you can meet girls on the internet while you do other things. I'm just frustrated because it seems like you're just trying to get stuck in a new rut instead of adressing the problem. [18:21:58] This new leaf you're trying to turn over is covered in shit. [18:22:04] * Shavozama shrugs. "I'm just saying that I'm not having fun anymore. Yelling at me that I should be isn't going to change anything." [18:22:21] he's right. [18:22:32] yeah, I know [18:22:32] The only thing that will make him feel better is time [18:22:39] I'm just... really feeling helpless right now [18:22:45] Yeah me too Dem [18:22:54] Ant will feel better eventually [18:23:15] I don't know why my funk is lasting this long. it usually doesn't. [18:23:33] I don't care about what you should be. What I care about is that you're not happy, and you're doing new things that aren't helping that. I don't care if you stop doing the old things that aren't helping you, but at least find *something*. You live in New York City, for god's sake, and I know you're smart enough to find actual ways to meet people. [18:23:36] Maybe you should talk to a therapist, if your insurance covers it [18:24:13] I'm considering spending afternoons hanging out with my friends from jersey [18:24:16] ahem, he live in Staten Island. It's secluded NYC [18:24:27] I'm not just going to sit in bookstores forever [18:24:37] And I'm not saying that I'll never hang out online with you guys... [18:24:57] I'm just letting you know that right now DnD just isn't fun for me anymore. [18:25:16] * Ungyo withholds comments about it maybe being 4e. [18:25:24] * Shavozama snerks [18:25:30] ... that wasn't withholding it [18:25:37] Hah! [18:25:54] ... i dunno. If I can't run fun games, i need to know what I'm doing wrong [18:25:58] S'alright Dem, he was making a joke. [18:26:00] He lives in Staten Island. I live in a town NOBODY'S FUCKING HEARD OF, and I can still find ways to meet people. For someone in a bigger city who doesn't look like a fucking butter golem, it shouldn't be hard if you actually *try* instead of just feeling bad about how you don't try. [18:26:03] This isn't about you dem. [18:26:25] You [18:26:31] 're game isn't "not fun" [18:26:47] I was honestly hoping you were going for 'double nigger' there. [18:26:56] heh [18:26:59] "butter golem?" [18:27:15] Anyhow, I'm incredibly spiteful right now towards you dude, can't help it. You've been a pretty consistent, stand-up guy to me, and now your behavior's taken a 180 over some chick. I've been there, but I think I can safely tell you that in the kinda funk you're in, everything's gonna suck. Food might not even taste as good. [18:27:17] "double nigger" [18:27:18] ? [18:27:45] A butter golem is a fat person, and double nigger comes from a photoshopped Sonic comic [18:27:51] OH! BUTTER GOLEM!! I get it! [18:28:09] http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/thumb/7/7d/Doublenigger.jpg/400px-Doublenigger.jpg [18:28:14] Bailing out on all your games, to me, seems like you're just trying to spread the suck. I'm already empathetic, damnit. [18:28:25] Uh, okay rusty, whatever. If you feel the need to be spiteful when I'm depressed please loose my number. [18:28:52] That comic makes (-x) sense [18:29:13] I'm not trying to spread the suck. I'm not trying to make you feel bad for me. This isn't a cry for attention. This is just me being honest. [18:29:42] DnD is about everyone having fun, and right now I'm not having any, so there's no point for me to play it. [18:30:01] It's not like the games hinge on my characters, it's not like you guys can't keep playing without me [18:30:07] Damnit, I can't find the panel where Knuckles delivers a paragraph of exposition, and Robotnik's text is editted to "HOLY SHIT A FUCKING TALKING ANIMAL" [18:30:34] HAHA, now that's hilarious! [18:30:41] I'm not pissed enough to call you over it. [18:31:07] Spite is a pretty strong word. [18:31:08] Whatever dude. [18:31:12] But, generally, you leaving means we're out a gt host and key party role. [18:31:27] we can't make him have fun. [18:31:39] Yeah, we just need to bullshit a reason for disappearance or pretend you were never there or have someone handpuppet your character. That's the bulk of what frustrates me, aside from the continued 'fixing symptoms, not problem' thing. [18:31:44] Shav's a supplemental defender, and Eve is a pretty terrible one. [18:32:18] My game is still defenderless without Eve. I don't even know how that's supposed to work. [18:32:45] I mean, it's not as bad as not having a leader, but still. [18:32:50] You guys were already welcome to handpuppet my characters if you wanted to play more than once a week [18:33:18] Yeah, and I decided not to do that, because it either puts more burden on me or another character and I think it doesn't add anything to the game. [18:33:30] We don't just want the characters there, we want YOU there. It's fun to play with you. [18:33:51] Say that again Dem. [18:33:58] Thanks [18:34:12] I don't really care about who plays your pcs, but honestly, you haven't been you since this shit went down. [18:34:21] Yeah. [18:34:26] I know. [18:34:41] It's like your player went away and someone else is handpuppeting you. [18:35:37] exactly... I'm not really into it [18:36:16] You're not much into anything. [18:36:24] :/ [18:36:27] http://fi.somethingawful.com/customtitles/title-cybershell-2.png Here's the panel in bad res. There's also another one where Robotnik's text is replaced with "WHOOPDIDOO." [18:36:28] I'm sorry guys. I know the logistics of me not playing are simple or anything, but I really just don't want to play anymore. [18:36:44] Well, then do what you want to. [18:36:45] aren't [18:37:02] there's nothing we can do about this [18:37:15] But let's kill this fucking dragon so we're not in goddamn Kobold Hall for another week before this bullshit spirals even more into whatever dramabomb just errupted. [18:37:20] yeah [18:37:50] mm. [18:38:56] Honestly, at this point, I'm less concerned with the complex interpersonal relationships we've all revealed and more with the mechanics of shoving a dragon off this mortal coil. And not because it's simpler, but because killing this imaginary dragon is something I've been looking forward to since last tuesday. [18:39:12] And I don't care how many of you assholes decide that D&D's not fun anymore, we're murdering this dragon >:( [18:39:17] heh [18:39:29] haha [18:39:29] sorry of the descirptions ren't really great [18:39:36] i'm just not feeling too hot righ tnow [18:39:38] YAY MURDER! [18:39:55] Dem, seriously, don't take this as any fault on your part. [18:40:06] it doesn't matter if it is, or if it isn't. [18:41:14] Right now I'm getting that same feeling I get when I hear about people who cut open pregnant women and go to the emergency room and claim the baby was just born and that it's theirs, or when I hear about people in China who lose their homes becuas eof government corruption, or from hearing another list of names of people dying because of the iraq war, though not to the same degree. [18:41:26] I don't exist because I am unable to affect the world around me. [18:41:44] fsdvl kjHSW W [18:41:44] pv|a [18:41:50] mewr? [18:41:59] JESUS CHRIST CAN PEOPLE STOP BEING SAD AND PLAY SOME DUNGEONS AND FUCKING DRAGONS [18:42:06] HAHA [18:42:17] Okay. I needed that. * Retrieving #Exalted modes... [18:42:48] * Demota changes topic to '#Exalted: You relieved yourself. Your condition became "a talking animal"| Stormreach: Delayed indefinately | Kobold Hall Sunday: Start on July 13 | Odal's Fen: Everyone is now level 2' [18:43:58] are we really? [19:14:30] You know, the purple dragon thing with Cormyr in Forgotten Realms bothers me a little. Since purple dragons don't fucking exist and all [19:15:00] And, in a more meta context, because dragons are colored after their element, and purple is the color of the Sleaze element in an online game I play [19:15:42] So it has a grease breath weapoN? [19:17:45] Like they used an entire bottle of breath spray at once, then gargled with aftershave. [19:20:42] Or it could just breathe a cone of awkwardness [19:21:32] haha [19:24:18] Heh [19:24:34] I'm not sure what the lore of the purple dragon was. I think it's extinct? [19:47:30] Probably because everyone felt so ashamed around it [19:47:37] Hahahaha http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Image:Invisiblerobotnik.jpg [19:47:46] Robotnik doesn't truck with the invisible. [19:48:23] haha [20:30:43] ... wow.

The best AC you can get in the game, out of the PHB, not counting temporary buffs, seems to be 50. That's a pleasantly round number [21:24:40] Huh. [21:24:47] I wonder if that was by design or incident [21:26:20] You need to start off with 20 dex or int, take the Pit Fighter paragon path and the Demigod epic destiny, +6 elderhide with a hide specialization, and a heavy shield. [21:26:43] Huh [21:26:48] Interesting [21:27:34] That's crazy minmaxing and would probably only be remotely not-stupid for a multiclass rogue/fighter [21:27:46] Yeah [21:28:09] However, a paladin who's not even trying can hit 48 by level 30.
