Start of #Exalted buffer: Mon Jun 29 21:33:55 2009 [15:48:16] Alright, get IC and get in channel [15:48:47] Relocating real quick cha [15:48:50] gimme a few [15:48:56] * Mechazawa (rustangel@ip-118-219.atvci.net) Quit (Quit: I am not ignorant, I am intelligent. I'm not an ape, I am the way, I am the truth. I am religion, I am politics, I am a psychoanalyst, I'm an inkblot shaped like Zeus) [15:49:04] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [15:49:05] * Fuuko (demota@71.202.41.240) has joined #Exalted [15:49:28] * Yon is now known as Paera [15:49:35] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [15:50:02] Damn. [15:50:24] I can't have Eve sleep with anyone yet, cause she's too busy being horrified by the Eye's prescence. [15:51:12] I thought she liked freaky sex. [15:51:33] No, she just thinks wizards are cute. [15:51:46] So she's not gonna look for a call ghoul? [15:51:47] Though I suppose Mage Hand can make for some pretty freaky sex. [15:52:10] Oh shit, I just realized that grad school probably requires a GRE [15:52:25] Mage Hand? What about prestidigitation? [15:53:02] All this gay bullshit is getting expensive. >:( [15:53:48] :( [15:54:35] The shitty, shitty school my father found probably doesn't require one, but that's because that school is a hilarious joke [15:54:52] I'm pretty sure their diplomas are printed on bubble gum, like those candy checks [15:57:26] o_o [15:57:54] They were the only school in New Hampshire shitty enough to consider my school a rival [15:58:27] They kept coming down to spraypaint stuff on the side of our student center, which was always pretty hilarious because it was just the dumbest fucking graffiti [15:58:30] Like "ART SCHOOL IS GAY" [15:58:33] Wow [15:59:32] Ahahahaa [16:02:40] Even their web page is full of pictures of unattractive people [16:02:41] Oh wow [16:02:44] Southern New Hampshire University programs are accredited by: [16:02:44] * Accreditation Commission for Programs in Hospitality Administration [16:02:44] * American Culinary Federation Educational Institute [16:02:44] * Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs [16:02:44] * European Council for Business Education [16:02:45] * New England Association of Schools and Colleges [16:02:45] * New Hampshire Postsecondary Education Commission [16:02:47] * New Hampshire State Department of Education for Teacher Certification [16:02:47] * North American Society for Sport Management [16:02:58] That seems like a really specific, kind of shitty list of certifications [16:03:02] Yeah [16:03:47] I'm surprised it doesn't end with "* My Mommy :)" [16:05:04] That'd be really cute. [16:05:42] Ugh. I really don't want to go to grad school. Especially not at night in a shithole like SNHU [16:06:02] Just thinking of it exhausts me [16:06:06] * Demotafk (demota@71.202.41.240) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [16:06:50] * Demota (demota@71.202.41.240) has joined #Exalted [16:09:01] * Mechazawa (rustangel@ip-117-113.atvci.net) has joined #Exalted [16:09:08] * Mechazawa is now known as Xan [16:09:18] sorry [16:09:21] :toot: [16:09:26] No prob [16:09:26] okay, whatd I miss? [16:09:30] Nothing [16:10:00] Yeah, just me bitching about the school my father wants me to go to for my secondary education degree [16:10:21] Nova talked a little about Eve, that's about all else there was [16:14:07] http://www.reallocaljobs.com/jobs/jobdetails.cfm?jid=7228 Holy shit, mystery job [16:14:26] It's really exciting that you can't know anything about it until you apply [16:14:30] wow [16:14:37] 1d20 [16:14:37] Demota rolls 1D20: 7 [16:15:54] Okay, just to review, was Eve going to start walking to the city (does anyone remember the city's name? I'm just shitty with this) while Eilenia and Paera teleported in? [16:15:56] Oh yeah. This week, I don't have class Thursday. I might be able to run Youkai on the normal day this week, in addition to Saturday. Alternatively, I could try to run Nesonarn [16:16:04] Also, has everyone remade their characters for level 5? [16:16:06] It's in the logs. [16:16:08] I remade. [16:16:14] I'm much more interested in Youkai [16:16:20] I think Elena told Eve about the teleporter [16:17:22] How many teleport cirlces do we know now? Horbek's Glory, the Sky Tower, and the place we're going to? [16:17:46] Yeah [16:17:55] Also, I think we got Eve to relax enough to enjoy the party, I think. Elena probably told her then. [16:18:31] level 5? no [16:18:52] Do we also repick gear, or just level up? [16:19:03] Repick gear [16:19:15] You repick your gear, but you can just get the same gear you had before and get cash to make up for teh difference. [16:19:46] Respeccing available? [16:19:49] Yeah [16:19:51] Yep [16:19:57] It's as if you were a new character [16:20:46] Cool. [16:21:00] Think I'll remain a striker [16:21:29] Now hosting. [16:21:52] Oh, I just realized [16:21:58] WHat were you thinking about respeccing? Because I'm hoping we can finish this before CHarles gets too tire. [16:22:00] d [16:22:05] If you're feeling saucy, now might be a good time to try the monk playtest [16:23:08] Yeah, I levelled up. [16:23:23] 71.202.41.240 port 1024 [16:24:00] Not feeling that saucy, since it ain't on the builder [16:24:50] It's on the builder [16:25:15] Yeah, it was in the latest update [16:25:16] It's just above Swordmage and under Hybrid [16:26:03] Please give us a second melee character. D: [16:26:19] Pshh, Xan's a ranged character, all the way [16:26:23] A ranged monk? [16:26:45] Maybe if he counts himself as a projectile that would be a ranged character. Considering what monks do, that's not too unlikely [16:26:50] He's staying a ranger. [16:26:59] Aah. Heh. [16:27:05] Xan is WAY too effective to change up much [16:27:17] Alright, so I guess he just needs a level 5 Daily power and cash readjustment? [16:27:21] Oh for fuck's sake, the character builder art for the Monk class is that creepy looking guy in the man qipao [16:27:36] ... oh, gross [16:27:37] hah [16:28:04] Want me to go beastmastery? [16:28:14] Nah [16:28:17] Xan's good as he is [16:28:22] Do it, it'll be funny [16:28:31] (Though beastmastery is melee only, I think) [16:29:59] Backgrounds? [16:30:08] This is Xan and his Kitty. [16:30:40] Yeah, name it Guenwinnar. [16:30:46] hehe [16:30:55] I have one Background [16:31:09] Birth - On Another Plane [16:31:36] Man, I'm trying to apply for this environmental fellowship, but I suck at cover letters. [16:31:38] Think I'm gonna go with born under a bad sign [16:32:02] Oh you're kidding me [16:32:02] Guenhwyvar [16:32:02] Drizzt's panther companion from the Astral Plane. She is so important to Drizzt and has been in every book thus far. She cannot be killed on the material plane and has often saved the Dark Elf's Life. [16:32:17] He has an INVINCIBLE UNKILLABLE PANTHER. [16:34:07] Her magic item was even destroyed once. [16:34:15] And it was repaired which is AGAINST THE RULES! [16:34:31] hehe [16:35:08] When did panthers start living on the Astral Plane? [16:35:45] So, what're the plans for getting from point A to point Ivorgard [16:35:48] Mind panthers. [16:36:03] We're taking a teleportation circle. [16:36:06] Yeah [16:36:07] Going with athletics AND acrobatics [16:36:13] I think we got the address, didn't we? [16:36:13] And? [16:36:18] We did, yeah. [16:36:23] yeah, he originally just had acrobatics [16:36:25] We're gonna take Anyss' circle [16:36:30] Heh [16:37:17] Oh. I thought Eve was walking to keep the several month gap I had intended intact, to keep the campaign's timeline from going from zero to drastically changing the world in like, six weeks. :| [16:37:48] Oh [16:37:57] If that gap is still there, then yeah Eve was walking [16:38:32] Why would she walk if we can teleport? [16:38:42] To meet them there. [16:38:52] And to keep from Eye from ever being in one place too long. [16:39:03] Aah [16:39:19] And you'd wait a few months to make sure the Fenians didn't blow their food supply. [16:39:25] What with feasts and all. [16:39:29] heh [16:39:53] Plus, maybe not the best idea to set out for what might be a long journey at the start of the winter [16:40:21] Unless you're Eve in which case you're fuckin' crazy anyways. :| [16:40:22] Nonsense, great conquerers and empire builders marhced in the winter. [16:40:34] Unless you're from Tsavarogorov and are trained in Endurance! [16:40:46] And wear dwarven scale armor. [16:41:23] My Endurance check is pretty high, Eve should be fine. [16:43:00] * Demotafk (demota@71.202.41.240) has joined #Exalted [16:43:22] Fucking rigjt. Black Arrow style [16:43:37] black arrow style? [16:43:54] Yeah, lets me use twin strike secretly [16:44:04] oh geeze [16:44:08] IE, I can use it and remain hidden [16:44:11] What's that from? [16:44:11] Wow, nice [16:44:14] Dragon? [16:44:18] Dragon 373 [16:44:26] Do you automatically remain hidden, or do you have to make a stealth check? [16:44:52] Anything that makes you a better killer makes me nervous [16:44:59] * Demota (demota@71.202.41.240) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [16:45:09] Guys I'm gonna restart [16:45:09] If you miss with the first, you can cancel to remain hidden and remain hidden if you miss with both [16:45:19] CB keeps crashing repeatedly on start-up [16:45:23] k [16:45:32] Looks like we're starting at the normal time. [16:46:43] * Eve_Kasnora (novaseaker@c-24-129-25-205.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [16:47:11] Picking up hunter's teamwork too [16:47:20] Which will aid the melee folks [16:47:29] Folk. Singular. [16:48:23] Well, itll help [16:48:28] * Eilenia nods [16:48:30] What's that do, anyway? [16:49:02] * Demotafk (demota@71.202.41.240) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [16:49:26] It gives me combat advantage when two allies are adjacent [16:49:47] Huh. [16:50:10] I guess it'd be good for taking guys down quickly if they start attacking the rest of us. [16:50:41] I love how pointless archery spec is for a ranger even if you are an archery spec ranger [16:50:57] It's better than what I had [16:51:16] If you don't know what I had besides twin strike, then that explains it:P [16:51:32] Heh [16:51:57] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-24-129-25-205.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [16:52:03] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [16:52:10] Alright, that's better [16:52:21] * Demota (demota@71.202.41.240) has joined #Exalted [16:52:22] the IE 8 update probably futzed with CB and I needed to restart [16:52:28] wb [16:54:00] I figure that there'll be a one month break ingame, while Eve walks there and while Eilenia and Paera recuperate before they portal over, if Dem and Yon think they'd want to [16:54:09] How's Xan getting to Ivorgard? [16:54:39] Elena'd probably spend a while on break and portal over. And maybe watch Eve through Anyss' scrying, if he's keeping an eye on her [16:54:58] How often does the Sky Tower enter and leave the plane, anyway? [16:55:41] I think I'm going to demand Xan travel with me. [16:55:47] To "keep and eye" on him. [16:55:49] Yeah, Paera would definitely be up for a break. [16:56:13] Dem: Probably on a daily basis, maybe a week in and a week out [16:56:22] It's a relatively frequent and even time split [16:56:26] * Demota nods [16:56:31] Ivorgard? [16:56:36] I missed a session [16:56:39] I guess Elena can show Paera the Feywild, then. :toot: [16:56:46] The largest city of Ioun worship in the area. [16:57:01] We're going there to get some Knowledge! about what to do with the Eye. [16:57:25] Hopefully something that'll keep it from observing us so we don't have to split up every time some of us wants a break. [16:57:27] (I just picture a Science! smiley, but a cleric of Ioun) [16:57:31] hahaha [16:58:32] I imagine when the break is over and you guys meet up with Eve, she is going to look like such crap, having have next to no sleep for a month. [16:58:42] noooo :( [16:58:54] But what will Elena watch? [16:58:54] And she might have developed this weird cough too. [16:59:01] Xan. [16:59:17] *gollum!* *gollum!* [16:59:38] When's start time? [16:59:47] Right now [17:00:50] I'd ask what Plow does, but it probably doesn' tmatter [17:01:01] He's just Always There [17:01:25] And Definately Evil. [17:01:49] I suppose a conversation is in order at some point to determine how he's getting there. [17:02:14] You're coming with Eve. [17:02:19] She insists. [17:02:31] If we want to roleplay it out, we can start with that scene. [17:03:36] Sure [17:04:06] Man, that fellowship is, like, the only thing in New Hampshire on Idealist I've been qualified for in months [17:06:29] Now I'm gonna have to work my ass off to justify my crimes investigating people. [17:07:26] ...Hahaha, this podcast is really good. They keep coming back to this running joke that all songs written in the 60s and 70s were published hypotheses by scientists. Like, when the devil came up, one of the guys said that if the Rolling Stones' hypothesis was correct, they'd be pleased to meet it and expected to guess its name [17:07:53] http://zip.4chan.org/tg/src/1246318273660.jpg :gonk: [17:08:07] investigating people? [17:16:31] Oh, derp. I forgot that we didn't actually say he was accompanying [17:18:46] hahahaha [17:19:11] I wonder of the chicken's attached to the costume [17:19:15] Paera: "Ohshi, I forgot to say goodbye to Eve a month ago! *waves in Ivorgard's general direction*" [17:19:16] And why there's just one. >:( [17:19:19] hahahahahah [17:19:39] Maybe something just happened in a sports game Anyss is scrying on [17:19:54] "Whoooooo" [17:19:59] haha [17:20:12] I like how Elena's parents are footing the bill for this teleport [17:20:18] Listen, I was typing that before he posted that and I hit enter before I saw it. >:( [17:20:39] haha [17:21:00] Oh yeah. What was in Brother Eye's spellbook? Just a bunch of blank pages? [17:21:07] Or seemingly blank pages, at least. [17:22:03] Statistically, I'm just going to go with dual scimitars [17:22:15] So what sort of wackey adventures did Eve and Xan get into? [17:22:42] You tell me! [17:23:01] While I deal with Eilenia and Paera, what's three things that happened to you guys while you travelled? [17:23:13] Alright well, first, Eve fell into the SAME pit trap from the first session. [17:23:22] hahahaha. [17:24:23] Then she checked on her little hut in the swamp to get some cured rabit meat she left to dry. [17:24:32] Is anyone having problems connecting to GT? [17:24:38] And fell into *another* Pit Trap just in front of her door. [17:24:57] I seem to be connected alright. [17:25:03] I see Harrison Ford. [17:25:53] same [17:26:18] Same here [17:26:49] Rusty? [17:27:49] * Demota (demota@71.202.41.240) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [17:28:58] Those are pretty good, though I meant more in terms of encounters (Combat or not, that is). I just figured that it'd be good for you guys to have interesting things happen to you, and since travel is usually de-emphasized, I thought it'd be a cool excercise to let you decide your own random encounters. :| [17:29:13] * Demota (demota@71.202.41.240) has joined #Exalted [17:29:17] Maybe something with Wyrmgear? [17:29:28] Waffle Walker [17:29:47] He found us in the middle of the sea [17:30:01] Might've sent another radio-controlled clockwork monster after us. [17:30:13] Like a dire ape with a mechanical brain. [17:33:02] Heh [17:33:07] Paera's already homesick? [17:33:37] huh? [17:33:39] How about let's say this time he appeared with a dire bear with a clockwork exoskeleton, and managed to escape away. He seemed to have teleported? [17:33:51] Oh, not connected to gt yet. please repost? [17:33:55] She doesn't REALLY want to leave, obviously. [17:34:05] 71.202.41.240 port 1024 [17:34:56] Sent, btw [17:34:57] Wait [17:35:01] He showed up? [17:35:11] I didn't think we ever actually met wyrmgear. [17:35:28] Actually, you're right. A personal appearance should probably happen during actual gameplay. [17:35:40] Yeah [17:35:44] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [17:36:00] I was still kinda wondering if "Wyrmgear" was a huge threat like a clockwork modragon. [17:36:14] yeah, thatd be cool [17:36:24] Modragon? [17:36:26] Just the bear, then, with a threatening note inside the mechanical apparatus, with repeated mentions of the Invocation of Primus, and how you're interrupting the great work of the clockwork nirvana [17:36:31] Modron dragon [17:36:37] Aaah [17:36:59] Invocation of Primus. Hooboy that can't be good. [17:37:14] How bout some culstists looking for the Eye? :V [17:38:57] Oh, absolutely [17:39:47] Yay! Choice justified! [17:39:59] Dammit [17:40:00] Nothing too impressive, just a few wormy, half-starved Vecnites who found your camp one night and tried to take it from you, waking you in the process [17:40:17] * Eilenia is now known as Demotafk [17:40:19] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [17:40:32] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [17:40:38] Eve was already sleeping lightly, keeping a paranoid eye on Xan. [17:44:10] I should have taken that feat that gives me bonuses to keeping watch [17:45:11] Xan mostly sits awake, and silently sleeps, as he always has. [17:51:12] Hahahah, one of the guys on the podcast is talking about hiking in Bolivia and how the terrain kept drastically changing, and he said it was the closest thing he's ever seen to being in WoW. And the other guy's response was "And the sky just suddenly changes color?" "Yeah." "And then some guy who weighs two hundred more pounds than you walks up and kills you with one stroke of his axe?" [17:51:27] hahaha [17:53:13] Hhahahaha [17:53:17] Holy shit Mr. Sandman is fucking terrifying. [17:53:25] Yeah. D: [17:53:28] STAND STILL. [17:53:30] BOO. [17:53:37] The gate, for what it's worth, is climbable, either to remove the bar or just get over the wall entirely [17:53:47] AFRAID? [17:53:54] NIGHT-NIGHT. [17:54:03] (This is usually followed by a firm WHAK.) [17:54:11] * Eilenia cries [17:54:23] Yeah, it's funny. [17:54:29] He's so BIG. :gonk: [17:54:29] The Dreamland Express is easy to dodge. [17:54:34] His other punches... aren't. [17:54:53] Scary black men are alwyas big. [17:54:55] Mr. Sandman? [17:54:59] See, I have this theory. [17:55:04] Sandman is Doc's id. [17:55:06] Final boss of Punch-Out!!. [17:55:15] Ah [17:55:32] Yeah. He was the ORIGINAL boss in the arcade version. [17:55:39] Oh was he? [17:55:43] Which makes him being the final one in the Wii one kind of amusing. [17:55:45] Yeah. [17:55:50] Then they put in Tyson? [17:55:56] Yeah. [17:55:57] THen, yep. Tyson. [17:56:04] And a lot others. [17:56:05] Well, the way I heard it was: [17:56:11] I think the only ones in the arcade game were... [17:56:12] And then Tyson raped and beat his girlfriend and got a tribal tattoo on his face. [17:56:25] The original final boss in the NES game was the one Tyson was eventually replaced with [17:56:28] Joe, Piston Hurricane, Kid Quick, Pizza Pasta, Sandman... who else... [17:56:35] Then before the American release, they liscened his likeness [17:56:40] Super Matzoh Man? [17:56:50] Then after he lost the heavyweight title, the liscence expired and Nintendo didn't renew [17:56:54] Mr. Release the Bogus. :D [17:56:55] Then he went FUCKIN' CRAZY [17:56:58] Coincidence? [17:57:01] D: [17:57:14] Yeah. [17:57:15] So, what you're saying, is... [17:57:17] I'm still TDing. [17:57:21] And Soda is eating me alivew. [17:57:29] Bob is the spiritual successor to Mike Tyson. [17:57:35] Yeah. Nintendo is responsible for the rape of Robin Gibbons [17:57:38] Oh, that too, maybe [17:57:47] D: [17:57:47] I just have to figure out how to keep dodging long enough to exploit his weakness. [17:58:13] He's so much easier in contender. [17:58:25] And knocking the soda away/knocking him down doesn't make him angrier and faster. [17:58:56] Anyway, you'll get Sandman eventually. [17:59:03] And then TD Joe will humiliate you. [17:59:06] It always happens. [17:59:37] I keep reading it as Tower Defense Joe [17:59:47] I'd like to see a Punch-Out!! tower defense game. [17:59:54] Hehheh. [17:59:56] Plants vs Boxers [17:59:59] Well, PO *is* a puzzle game. [18:00:01] At its core. [18:00:06] Yeah [18:00:47] "VENGA VENGA" *peashooter* [18:00:51] I'm just annoyed you can't properly rematch fighters at any time. MY WIN LOSS RECORD [18:01:02] The best you can do it lose. [18:01:03] VAMOS [18:01:11] Yon: You can at the... something [18:01:12] And fight in practice mode. [18:01:18] The... other mode [18:01:19] Holo-boxer! [18:01:27] Exhibition. :V [18:01:49] I remember one arcade version of Punch Out with Lil Mac being a wireframe [18:02:00] That was the original [18:02:04] Yeah but that doesn't give me more wins. :( [18:02:13] My favorite fight, though? [18:02:15] They made him, well, little because the NES hardware couldn't handle that [18:02:17] Really? It looked like super-nintendo graphics [18:02:21] Title Defense Don Flamenco. [18:02:30] So he needed to be tiny to let you see the boxers [18:02:40] My record is gonna look like Glass Joe's before I'm done. :( [18:02:40] It might have been Super Punch-Out!! in the arcades [18:02:42] They can cheat in the Wii game. [18:02:50] Since the models can be warped easily. [18:02:51] ah [18:03:08] (It's most obvious with, say, Sandman.) [18:03:24] Oh, I almost forgot. [18:03:26] I wonder if eve's going to be unfomfortable with xan behind her all the time. [18:03:28] YOU WANT S'MO? [18:06:13] Now's the time to see if Xan cross-classed into Bluff when he respecced. :| [18:06:35] He never lies. [18:09:16] heh [18:09:26] "I prefer to see a trap coming, thanking you very much." is pretty good coming from someone who fell into two holes she knew were there on the way here. :V [18:09:41] haha [18:09:49] haha [18:10:26] He doesn't lie. [18:10:29] hahahaha [18:10:37] Wait, I said that [18:10:44] How do we know YOU'RE not lying? [18:10:53] I'm not. [18:11:02] I've been known to lie OOC to keep an IC secret. [18:11:09] "What class are you playing." "...Fighter." [18:11:10] I haven't. [18:11:24] Maybe its YOU we shouldn't be trusting. [18:11:41] You could be lying now. :| [18:11:42] Maybe YOU'RE just a figment of my imagination! [18:11:57] In which case I could be lying to myself this very second! [18:11:59] Nova: Come on, they'd have known it was paladin anyways. :| [18:12:03] Your fickle planescape arguments will not work on me. [18:12:07] Cha: Ahahahaha [18:12:22] Or WILL THEY? [18:12:25] MORE LIES! [18:13:07] Cha: Oh yeah, was Eve's hut more or less intact? [18:13:22] Yeah, pretty much [18:13:24] OR WAS IT [18:13:28] (Yeah it was) [18:13:30] HAHAHAHAH [18:13:38] hehe [18:17:10] Does the architecture or layount look familiar to me at all? [18:17:19] Like, could I figure out where the front of the city was? [18:17:28] The city gate was to the west [18:17:47] Like, in the initial description [18:18:00] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [18:18:11] I'm just waiting for Cha to say we pop out of a manhole. [18:18:19] Same. [18:18:24] haha [18:18:25] Or duck out of an alley. [18:19:37] There you go, two emergences from a sewer drain in as many sessions. :| [18:20:08] I'm a ninja turtle [18:20:19] haha [18:21:40] What sewer did we emerge from before? [18:21:46]
