Start of #Exalted buffer: Wed Apr 08 22:39:34 2009 [19:41:23] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [19:41:24] * NovaSeaker nods. [19:41:26] What happened tonight is bad, but acceptance and moving on is one of the stages of grief, and I pretty much skipped anger, and denial [19:41:27] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [19:41:31] * MattyQ is now known as Plow [19:41:37] Pretty much it was bargaining and now acceptance [19:41:56] * Yon is now known as Paera [19:41:59] I was musing to myself that we were discussing this in such a way. [19:42:19] Dem: I think he's alright. I'm still not sure I really want him in my game, but that's an entirely seperate factor. [19:42:23] I won't deny that I'm still sort of fucked up. [19:42:32] On goofballs? [19:42:32] Like, what I think of him as a dude and what I think of him as a player are in two categories [19:42:37] I've been lashing out at my family unnecessarily. [19:42:38] http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i303/MorganKristyReynolds/?action=view¤t=IMG_2730.jpg [19:42:43] * Eilenia nods [19:42:50] aww [19:42:53] Make a Blooper [19:42:56] Ahaha [19:42:59] I could ask her to. [19:43:01] Honestly, this is kind of a weird thing to say, but while I don't think I've ever really liked Rusty, I think I would miss having him around. [19:43:03] Oh wow, that's awesome [19:43:10] Like, even when I have legitimate greivances, like the whole virginity issue, I take it too far. [19:43:12] It's as tall as she is. x_x [19:43:16] wow [19:43:34] Hopped up on virginity? [19:43:48] yeah. To be honest, I've been kinda worried about Nova too because of the recent breakdowns with family. [19:44:12] Matt: Nova's dad was harassing him over still being a virgin and how no girls will want someone like that. [19:44:23] Oh. [19:44:26] I apologize, Nova. [19:44:38] S'okay [19:44:46] It's a ridiculous and backwards point of view. i don't even know the guy, and I'm personally offended. [19:44:47] The worst part is that my mother agreed with him. [19:44:51] .... eugh. [19:44:59] And THAT was just like WTF? Cause I got my values from her. [19:45:24] But we've sorta... agreed to disagree [19:45:30] And my sister is yelling at my mom. [19:45:34] * Eilenia nods [19:46:47] Fuck. [19:46:52] Now I look like the asshole who broke IC. x_x [19:47:21] Ohsi. [19:47:24] *shi, even. [19:47:28] Plow has a playbutton. [19:47:40] IC PRESERVED! [19:47:44] Cha, are we still running from last battle without rest? [19:47:46] Does he have a button that makes him speak Spanish? [19:48:19] Yeah, you haven't taken a short rest yet [19:48:24] Unless you want to have [19:49:22] * Plow juegoespanol. [19:49:32] Si, si. [19:49:49] Quisiera reclinarme, por favor. [19:50:34] New features of Eve! She has one more HP, which ups her bloodied and surge values by one as well. [19:50:39] Huzzah! [19:50:42] I mean [19:50:54] Juzzah! [19:50:56] Since I'm now completely ignoring Charisma, I had points to put into Con [19:51:07] jajajajjaja [19:52:05] Charisma = bust size [19:52:13] Eve now has smaller flame sacs. [19:52:40] Dem: Didn't you get the memo? I decided not to convert the campaign to FATAL [19:52:47] oh okay [19:53:32] flame sacs? [19:53:35] @_@ [19:53:41] That's the part I'm stuck on. [19:53:51] That's what he said. [19:53:56] Oh, did you guys hear? [19:54:00] Rolling heal [19:54:07] I hear a lot of things. [19:54:07] 1d20+11 [19:54:08] Paera rolls 1D20+11: 20 +11 = 31 [19:54:08] Well, you know before Wizards of the Coast said that dragonborn nurse their young? [19:54:09] Pirates attacked an American ship for the first time in OVER TWO HUNDRED YEARS today [19:54:24] She is SO healed. [19:54:25] Were they fun pirates? [19:54:33] They were the normal Somali kind [19:54:35] There was a theory going around that female dragonborn had flame sacs. [19:54:37] Oh. [19:54:38] Did anyone die? [19:54:40] Those are the tragic pirates. [19:54:44] Not that I heard [19:54:55] I think details aren't complete yet [19:54:59] That's not true, they stole that shipment from Atlus just last week. :T [19:55:20] All I know is that they hijacked a shipment of aid food heading to Kenya [19:55:33] That's extra-tragic. [19:55:35] ... damn. [19:55:42] Because the neither the Somalis nor the Kenyans have food. ._. [19:55:49] *-the [19:56:19] Probably would've been better for everyone if they were fun pirates. [19:56:23] Carrying off all the fun. ._. [19:56:42] Ugh. [19:57:45] Cha [19:57:49] Since we are underground [19:57:49] ? [19:57:53] does dungeoneering come into play? [19:57:54] <_< [19:57:56] >_> [19:58:00] Urban Dungeoneering. [19:58:52] Dungeoneering is more a matter of caverns and the like. It's sort of misleadingly named [19:59:03] I am so proud that I actually used a skill for something other than a knowledge check. [19:59:04] I kind of think 'Weird Spelunking' is a better name for the skill [19:59:38] Only 2 surges left. [19:59:40] Yon: I have a +10 modifier. :| [19:59:43] >:( [20:00:22] YES I HAVE A HIGHER SKILL MOD THAN ELENA ON SOMETHING [20:00:36] Yeah, I'm pretty close to nothing also, power-wise, but I'll be damned if I drop my cool, automaton sense of superiority. [20:01:04] hahaha [20:01:27] ...um. How much xp are we supposed to have again? My sheet says I have...400 for some reason [20:01:31] Also, he called Eve a wuss. <_< [20:01:44] Oh, zing [20:01:47] Good comeback. =D [20:01:55] I'm at... 4000 xp? [20:01:56] <_< [20:02:28] 4175 [20:02:43] thats what I saved Eve as [20:03:53] It matches the math [20:04:10] The cool kid math. [20:05:21] Elena is 15, okay? :| [20:05:39] Plow is a hundred-something. [20:05:41] o_o [20:05:42] @_@ [20:05:50] @_@ [20:06:07] @_@ [20:06:08] He spent most of that doing farm work. [20:06:15] (I got into my head to start going: foolicoolifoolicoolifoolicooli) [20:06:17] Oh, what's your passive perceptions, guys [20:06:28] No, no, he spent most of that trapped in a cave [20:06:29] 14 [20:06:33] 10 plus half my level plus my modifier [20:06:36] 19 [20:06:43] 14 [20:06:48] * Plow is very perceptive. [20:06:55] 16 [20:06:56] Oh yeah [20:07:10] I thought I was getting him confused with a warforged character in a novel [20:07:17] Oh [20:07:29] I'm sure my story would fit well into one of those anyway, heh [20:07:37] Trapped in a cave? [20:07:41] Was he built by Tony Stark? [20:07:42] No, once again Nova has confused Plow with Robo. [20:08:08] :( [20:08:12] Well, he almost died, but the guy who found him had the technology. They could rebuild. [20:08:18] Robo never called anyone in the party frail :( [20:08:33] No, but he did spend 400 years farming. :V [20:09:34] Hah! [20:09:47] Holy crap I should've gotten that [20:10:09] ... [20:10:16] And dammit Nova, stop having Eve say things that make me mind go immediately to the gutter. :( [20:10:21] Yon: Can't Blizzard ban him for that? [20:10:30] http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/431115/-3-animal_ears-arutana-chibi-hat-inubashiri_momiji Awww. [20:11:16] ...What? [20:11:17] It's barrens, no-one cares. [20:11:23] haha [20:11:28] Dem: Well, he IS a bot, so if someone reports him, sure. [20:11:30] awwww [20:11:34] Bhahahaha [20:11:39] Nova: Gold farming [20:11:41] Aww [20:11:56] No I mean Yon thinking dirty. [20:12:16] Wuuu? [20:12:27] Elena, are you being a kid? Yes. *thinking* Damn. [20:12:32] o_o [20:12:43] hahahaha [20:12:56] -_ [20:12:57] - [20:13:00] ooh [20:13:01] gradius. [20:13:06] wpw [20:13:07] Well it's not like Paera is much older [20:13:09] wow* [20:13:23] Yeah byut Paera has those sexy horns. [20:13:27] :V [20:13:31] x_x [20:13:45] And that tail. :V:V:V [20:14:08] What the hell... [20:14:09] Charles [20:14:18] D: [20:14:24] It just occured to me that you can never tell where an Eladrin is looking. If they focus their vision like other species, anyway. [20:14:28] Is there any reason I would have 6 pp and 137 gp? [20:14:30] It's just a single color with no center. [20:14:35] None at all [20:14:55] Someone acknowledge and interrogate the damn kobold. <_< [20:15:05] Other than that Cha has clearly been vandalizing our xp and gold totals. [20:15:17] Eve talk Draconic? [20:15:20] I'm comfortable assuming there is a reason I should have that much. <_< [20:15:26] Yes [20:15:30] There is [20:15:31] He sold his eyes. [20:15:46] Thats the cost of a level 2 magic item [20:15:51] He sold his entire body and now drives his head around in a little car [20:15:51] it's your starting cash [20:16:01] Really? 737 GP? [20:16:08] Sounds like a little extra [20:16:12] That seems drastically off to me [20:16:13] * Charles (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) has left #Exalted [20:16:21] But I know level 2 is 600 something [20:16:28] Well, part of it is from treasures that we've collected. [20:16:34] But I dunno about the 6 pp. [20:16:41] I'm reasonably certain that I don't speak draconic. But I can't be sure because I didn't write down my languages when I updated my sheet with Nova. :suicide: [20:16:42] The 137 I'm pretty sure is leftover from last buy-session. [20:16:43] The 6 pp is what you should have [20:16:44] * Charles (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) has joined #Exalted [20:16:52] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Charles [20:16:57] I mean, I'm cool with it [20:17:07] It'll fund me buying some Bracers of Pointy Shot, or whatever it is. [20:17:09] <_< [20:17:12] Oh, right, now I remember. My bonus language was elven. [20:17:22] * Plow only speaks Common. [20:17:29] But if we get the bugger to write down what he's saying, I'm totally there. [20:17:30] Update on the pirates. The US ship got retaken, but the captain's a hostage. :/ [20:17:32] 680 gp is level-appropriate starting gold for a 4th level character [20:17:34] Okay, sometime this week, I'm going to count up all the money you should all have [20:17:40] Aah, okay [20:17:58] I started at 2, so I dunno. [20:18:08] you did? [20:18:13] Yeah? [20:18:14] We gained two levels since the squid? [20:18:21] 2 or 3. [20:18:24] I think 2. [20:18:26] Wow. [20:18:29] You should have started at 3 [20:18:34] Hrm [20:18:36] Harborhead was the level 3 adventure [20:18:40] This can be handled later [20:18:58] Yeah, you guys keep going. [20:18:58] Then he started with 360 [20:19:47] Yeah, I started at 3. [20:19:57] EVE BELIEVES IN CHANGE [20:20:02] Because I remember asking you if I could take a two level 3 items, instead of a level 3 and a level 4. [20:20:09] *-a [20:20:16] Gah bup nuh muhfugga bix nood [20:20:22] Dem: *snerk* [20:21:46] This could be a real Of Mice and Men moment. [20:22:05] I considered making that translation much longer. [20:22:08] You mean where we get to settle down on a farm of rabites? [20:22:17] Exactly. [20:22:30] http://www.hulu.com/watch/35498/saturday-night-live-george-and-lenny [20:22:40] Hey, all I did wsa go for knockouts [20:22:48] Actually, something came to me this afternoon that I never really got a chance to articulate [20:22:50] * Plow went for killings. [20:23:13] A warforged artificier with a construct is pretty much exactly like a necromancer with a zombie, in the SAT-style analogy [20:23:27] But somehow seems much, much creepier [20:23:35] haha [20:23:36] Oh, yeah, I can see that. [20:24:02] We spared more than one right? I was the only one killing apparently. [20:24:10] Oh, and Plow [20:24:25] Yeah, being a neutral party, I feel comfortable killing everything. [20:24:26] I think that Eilenia and Paera were going for KOs, but they mostly got the minions [20:24:31] Sorry, I'm apparently a bit behind here. Which parts am I supposed to be understanding IC? [20:24:50] Nothing with me addressing the kobold [20:25:07] How about Draconic is in <>? [20:25:15] Nova, did you mean the last thing you said to be in brackets? [20:25:35] Sure [20:25:37] Not the question, but the "died honorably" [20:25:40] yeah [20:26:34] Dammit, Charles. [20:26:41] Why do you want to complicate things with stuff like Morality? [20:26:55] Because I'm a bad DM. :| [20:27:03] (Or a good DM!) [20:27:24] Oh, awesome, I'm moving up in the world. I'm now getting comments on my blog from spammers outside of Russia [20:27:47] "Ohmygod I killed that kobold!" [20:27:55] "You gotta tell me these things! I was planning on doing that again!" [20:28:05] ...as opposed to only Russian spammers? Or what? [20:28:09] Yeah [20:29:12] * Paera sneaks up behind Eve while she's distracted and steals her soul. [20:29:18] Can we assume that Eve is translating this as she goes [20:29:22] so that we can participate, too? [20:29:27] <_< [20:29:27] >_> [20:29:29] That seems weird. [20:29:31] ._. [20:29:32] * Eve molests Elena, having no morality now. [20:29:39] See, that seems weirder. [20:29:47] I asked what anyone wanted to know [20:29:51] Oh, yeah. [20:30:02] Before, I was getting maybe five comments a day only from Russian spammers [20:30:15] I know. [20:30:17] I just. [20:30:19] It's all good. [20:30:20] No worries. [20:31:07] Elena's become fond of the word curious. I blame Lewis Carrol. [20:31:22] heh [20:32:11] * Plow was about to toe the line between Unaligned and Evil. =P [20:32:19] Honestly, before Cha brought it up, I always kind of figured that Paera was going for killing shots, partially because it just never occured to me to do it any other way, but partly because I'm really not sure how you non-fatally shoot someone with a bigass laser beam. [20:32:22] Evil is essentially Lawful, versus Chaotic Evil, neh? [20:32:31] Yeah [20:32:38] And good leans towards chaotic, typically. [20:32:55] Yon: You do it with lasers that explode and knock people backwards, rather than lasers that tear through people. [20:32:59] Sort of like what Batman does [20:33:09] Unless he's Alan Moore Batman. [20:33:12] And Green Arrow, any any character in brave and the BOld [20:33:17] But Alan Moore Paera would just be terrifying. [20:33:18] I'm impressed, Dem. [20:33:26] ?_? [20:33:40] You used an explanation OTHER than danmaku fight [20:33:47] haha [20:35:09] rolling insight [20:35:11] 1d20+9 [20:35:12] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+9: 6 +9 = 15 [20:35:19] honest? [20:35:25] Yep., [20:35:33] Kobolds are not, in fact, self-sustaining systems. [20:35:51] Damn. [20:35:58] I have to rewrite this whole chapter on biography! [20:36:01] http://www.arrakis.co.uk/jpg/stillsuit.jpg :( [20:36:02] biology. [20:36:03] ._. [20:36:12] Hahahah [20:36:35] Not to dredge up anything really old, but remember how we had that short debate on hyperthesis? [20:36:54] I need to ask about another one. [20:36:57] "hypobole" [20:37:19] What? [20:37:28] Like, hyperbole [20:38:06] What about it? [20:38:20] Well, I mean, hyperbole is an intentional exaggeration [20:38:23] so what about hypobole? [20:38:32] I don't think that's a word [20:38:41] "hypo" means less [20:38:45] like hypothermic [20:38:54] or hypothesis [20:38:56] Hypodermic needle? [20:38:57] I think he means hypobola. It's like bolas, but taken internally. [20:39:02] Ahh. [20:39:59] Apparently hypobole is a real word. o_o [20:40:08] Huh! [20:40:11] Wacky! [20:41:03] Hy*pob"o*le\, n. [Gr. ? a throwing under, a suggesting; ? under + ? to throw.] (Rhet.) A figure in which several things are mentioned that seem to make against the argument, or in favor of the opposite side, each of them being refuted in order. [20:41:35] It's basically a function of Socratic method. [20:41:51] Wacky [20:42:13] Something I never got about stillsuits: Was it, like, still as in motionless, like you won't expend as much water if you're not moving, or like a distillery? [20:42:41] I think it's meant to be like a distillery [20:42:45] *nod* [20:42:52] It process your sweat into whiskey. [20:42:55] *es [20:42:57] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Still [20:43:03] Or just a "still" [20:43:17] * Plow ... wants to kill the kobold. ._. [20:43:32] Plow is evil? [20:43:43] Well, no. [20:43:43] If it turns their sweat into whiskey it would certainly explain why Fremen are so terrifying [20:43:50] hahahahahaha [20:43:54] Hahahahaha [20:43:54] Hahaha [20:43:55] It'dexplain the hair too [20:44:13] I mean [20:44:14] Every time one passes out drunk, out comes the buzz-clipper [20:44:15] I could become evil. [20:44:18] ... [20:44:22] Don't be evil. :( [20:44:26] But then, I figure, I'll save an orphan. [20:44:26] It would make Elena sad. :( [20:44:30] And it all balances out. [20:44:39] I won't really kill the kobold. [20:44:45] It just seems narratively significant. [20:45:22] But then you'd train him to be your sidekick to soothe your haunted soul. And then he'd be killed by your archnemesis. And then it wouldn't balance out anymore. ._. [20:45:46] In retrospect, you pretty much cleared out the waypost the wyrmgear had fortified, and there weren't any kobold wyrmlings or anything. [20:45:54] A CORNERED ROBOT IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN A JACKAL [20:46:03] What about a robot jackal? [20:46:10] And, follow me here, [20:46:16] what if the robot jackal had cornered a robot [20:46:21] Cha: Yeah but Wyrmgear wasn't there, so I figure he had a section of the clan with him [20:46:35] but that robot was really a mirror... [20:46:37] Robot jackals are pretty awesome in Gargoyles [20:46:42] hahah [20:46:59] hahahaha [20:47:05] I need to buy the DVDs [20:48:02] Eve: That's a solid bet, but there's also the fact that you found a shitton of treasure and very little food. They were definitely rolling for the benjamins [20:49:30] heh [20:49:40] Of course he's not feeling alright, you took his precious and gave it tot Paera. [20:49:51] Yeah *i know* [20:50:01] Eve is worried she might have to kill him. [20:50:26] haha. [20:50:27] Well [20:50:31] I'm definitely going to be evil. [20:50:37] Don't be evil! :( [20:50:38] But I think there are some fair questions to be asked. [20:50:40] Argh [20:50:48] You can be suspicious! [20:50:51] I honestly meant to type definitely NOT going to be [20:50:53] Sorry [20:50:57] It was probably Freudian [20:50:59] but I meant not evil. [20:51:14] That is to say, "I'm definitely NOT goign to be evil." [20:51:24] Guys, I think we've heard enough, we definitely need to kill Plow before it's too late. [20:51:39] ... [20:51:41] Wow Matt [20:51:53] That was a horrible typo. [20:52:00] * Plow nods. [20:52:02] It just cost you a warforged! [20:52:03] INIT! [20:52:06] @_@ [20:52:06] I just like it being said so casually [20:52:09] Just kidding. :P [20:52:15] "Welp, pretty sure I'm gonna be evil, guys." [20:52:17] hahaha [20:52:19] hahaha yeah [20:52:29] Heh [20:55:53] I might as well getsomething out of that 5 minute rest. :| [20:56:31] All of this being in quotes makes me read this entire argument as being really, really sarcastic. [20:56:39] Oh [20:56:41] hahah [20:56:42] Well, it's not. ._. [20:56:46] But that would be pretty funny. [20:56:50] Especially if I was Definitely Evil. [20:56:56] Hahaha [20:56:58] Can't Eve just Detect Evil? [20:57:24] Not in this edition. [20:57:32] Nope. Though it'd probably make it easier to figure which monsters are okay to murder. :| [20:57:37] I'd be curious who would win [20:57:40] probably Eve. ._.
