Start of #Exalted buffer: Mon Nov 23 19:22:41 2009 [16:35:12] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [16:35:35] Heyo [16:35:52] Hello. [16:35:54] Wow. [16:36:06] You know, I think the only thing I like about P4 more than P3 is the controllable party in battles. [16:36:10] My brother is getting a promotion to $24 an hour for EASIER work [16:36:16] And maybe the main character. [16:36:42] Yon: That's generally how it goes. You get paid more the less you do while still maintaining employment. [16:38:19] I just hope I can get that (completely unrelated) job at the same place soon. [16:39:03] *nod* good luck [16:40:30] (I've kind of got a connection there, and they've told me they HAVE a job I could do, and they told me they want to hire me, specifically, but the position isn't currently available. So, waiting game. [16:41:57] damn [16:49:53] Hi Novas [16:53:28] Heyos [16:53:54] Whjat's up? [16:53:56] P4 also lacked any female love interests I was remotely interested in. [16:54:37] Eating Thai Peanut flavored beef with noodles. [16:54:41] And real peanuts [16:54:42] * Demotafk nods [16:54:54] I [16:55:03] I'm not sure this is fake thai peanut though. [16:55:27] What makes it thai? The spices? I'm pretty sure there are real spices in that flavor packet [16:55:52] Huh [16:56:54] We're lmaost done with L4D [17:00:44] So if it's real spices and real peanut, then I guess I just enjoyed a bowl of thai peanut noodles with beef. [17:00:49] :D [17:00:58] :D [17:01:02] Spicy! [17:01:26] I bought this caphlon non-stick frying pan [17:01:33] That thing is amazing [17:02:38] The other day when I sauteed the beef in teriyaki, where was this congealed hardened crust of teriyaki at the bottom of the pan. But after I let it cool and took a wet sponge to it, it glided right off. [17:04:30] Going for one more L4D2 try [17:14:06] OKay, it's over [17:14:29] Holy balls, the finale of The Parish is nail-biting [17:14:37] Yeah [17:14:42] I could see the chopper. :/ [17:14:58] I was shocked you went down instead of me [17:15:07] * Demotafk (demota@71.202.41.240) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [17:15:15] * Il_Dice (demota@71.202.41.240) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [17:15:36] That was just... Argh. SO intense [17:15:45] -> *nickserv* identify Myuutsuu [17:15:46] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota [17:16:07] I fell down and got stuck between the truck and the wall [17:16:12] Then the Tank landed on my head [17:16:33] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [17:16:45] Splat. ;_; [17:16:52] Ouch [17:16:55] Yeah, it's a crazy finale, since it's a CONSTANT run-and-gun. [17:17:07] Yeah. [17:17:13] I honestly think it'd be a little easier if people kept calm and stuck together [17:17:17] Yeah, same here [17:17:21] But we wanted speed [17:17:25] But, honestly, that's REALLY hard to do in that situation [17:17:27] Yeah. [17:17:48] Oh, good, the site's already nice and updated [17:18:36] 71.202.41.240 port 6812 [17:19:59] Whoo [17:20:09] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [17:20:21] Text Rusty? [17:20:34] Interesting. There's apparently stuff in Left 4 Dead 2 that implies the government's bene relocated to a flotilla in the gulf of Mexico [17:20:42] huh [17:20:52] 1d20 [17:20:53] Eilenia rolls 1D20: 4 [17:21:53] gah! [17:21:58] Stupid gylar! [17:22:01] Also, current speculation is that the army is rescuing the immune, and possibly killing the non-immune [17:22:07] * Eilenia no [17:22:09] * Eilenia nods [17:22:46] Which sort of makes sense [17:22:58] Yah [17:23:06] Like, it sort of seems like it's got to a point where people who can't survive the green flu are a liability [17:23:20] Or helicopter pilots [17:23:29] "green flu"? [17:23:36] That's the zombie disease? [17:23:45] Hhahahah [17:23:46] Schwartzcough posted: [17:23:46] Well maybe Caim never lost his ability to sing; he just hasn't tried. Man, making a psychopathic nutjob have to sing all his lines would make for an awesomely awesome or awesomely terrible game. [17:23:46] Pioneering the Genocide Opera genre of video games is an awesome concept and something needs to be done about this right now. [17:23:46] Yeah... that's not its actual name, though [17:23:53] We dunno what it's actually called [17:23:55] HAahhahahahahaah [17:24:53] It's the zombie disease in the sense that H1N1 is the swine flu [17:25:06] Like, 'Green flu' is the common name used in the media we've seen [17:25:12] I haven't seen it used in the media [17:25:28] CEDA's board on the Boomer has a newspaper clipping, IIRC [17:26:20] ah [17:27:56] ah [17:28:06] We ready to go? [17:28:33] We need a certain peacekeeping cleric. [17:28:34] Also, how the hell do you change teh background color in Gametable? I've tried over and over and have had no success [17:28:43] Only two people are IC, do I'm gonna say we're not [17:28:53] Map>Change Background> [17:29:06] I've done that before [17:29:17] * Ranakel is now known as Ottonius [17:29:23] You fail at the gametable. [17:29:29] Oh hey, Ran's joining! [17:29:31] ... okay, let me take a screencap. [17:29:54] Well, I'm around, I have a char, and there are numbers somewhat lacking, so sure... But one thing worries me a bit... [17:29:57] Gametable ? [17:30:12] It's a program to facilitate mapping [17:31:00] Oh, I assumed it was something like that. I'll just have to check if it runs on Linux. If not, I'm screwed [17:31:00] http://sourceforge.net/projects/gametable/files/Gametable%202.0/Gametable%202.0.RC7/Gametable%202.0.R C7.zip/download [17:31:36] It runs on Java [17:31:43] Hmm, then it -should- work. [17:31:47] Yeah [17:31:51] just need a JRE [17:31:53] Downloadan. [17:32:02] Nova: http://demota.sandwich.net/gt_background.png [17:32:06] If I click there [17:32:11] Then the background color should change, right? [17:32:15] Why isn't it? [17:33:22] * Yon is now known as Paera [17:33:36] Whoo [17:33:43] Well, it launches [17:33:44] #Odal is the IC channel [17:33:46] That's good [17:34:08] The join info is: 71.202.41.240 port 6812 [17:34:29] Where do I enter that ? [17:34:41] Dem: I dunno. Maybe you should download the java run-time environment again? [17:34:51] Ran: Network>Join [17:35:08] 71.202.41.240 is the IP and 6812 is the Port [17:35:18] Interesting. It appears I have no tabs. [17:35:29] Dem: I see it changed to green [17:35:30] Trying plan B [17:36:08] I see it as still being regular colored [17:36:33] Okay, Rusty says he can't make it [17:36:39] Unless Matt's around, this is all we'll have [17:36:47] Man, I have the best roommate [17:36:49] Plan B fails apparently. [17:37:13] "Oh, you're still plugged up from your cold? I'll make extra spicy risotto tonight then." [17:37:21] :O [17:37:23] Hahah [17:37:23] Now that's odd... [17:38:03] I have the tabs apparently, but, they are very small, and with nothing visible written on it.. Well, let's try picking things at random ! [17:38:37] Tabs? [17:39:00] Paera: Your roommate cooks for you? cool [17:39:21] A screenshot shall explain, just a moment. [17:42:37] Places? [17:42:57] http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/1229/capturentw.png [17:43:41] No menu bar? Weird [17:43:46] You bet. [17:44:03] Well, at least I managed to found the thing blindly. So I can visualize. [17:44:48] Charles: Any other stuff for us to go on? [17:44:54] Anyone we can talk to or interact with? [17:44:54] What do you want? [17:45:06] Sorry, I'm kind of preoccupied and a little lightheaded [17:45:26] Well, you're in the necropolis right now, so if you want to talk to or interact with someone, I'm not stopping you. [17:48:50] Nova: We kind of have an arrangement, he cooks, I clean [17:49:40] coo; [17:49:42] Especially since I am physically incapable of cooking beyond a certain level. [17:49:52] phsyically? [17:50:15] I have a defective nose. So I can't use spices. [17:50:44] (I also can't tell when something is burning until there's already smoke) [17:51:06] Oh. I thought you might've been, like, in a wheelchair or something and I started the process of mentally adjusting my mental perception of how you look. [17:51:31] Am I the only one that does that? I kinda have a made-up face for all of you. Except I think I've seen real pictures of Charles and Dem. [17:51:53] I don't really assume anyone here looks like anything. [17:52:01] I kind of vaguely sort of do that. [17:52:08] It's always slightly alarming when I'm reminded you have actual, physical presences [17:52:10] I'm too recent there to make any assumptions. [17:52:10] http://i42.tinypic.com/10eq1le.jpg [17:52:39] I wonder how off-base I am with Yon. [17:52:45] I was really surprised hearing Dem on vent for the first time because I always pictured his voice as being higher. :V [17:53:03] Like, I kinda see you as having sandy brown hair? I dunno. [17:53:20] http://zip.4chan.org/v/src/1259024659920.jpg [17:53:28] I was really suprised to hear Dem type on vent because I always pictured him typing like a NORMAL PERSON [17:53:35] And not a HURRICANE [17:53:41] dawww [17:54:03] Nova: I type at 106 words per second [17:54:06] How fast do YOU type? [17:54:09] er [17:54:10] minute [17:54:14] My hair's darker than that but you're on the right track [17:54:22] Pretty sure you were right the first time, Dem. : [17:54:33] I kind of assumed everyone here's voices were higher than they were. [17:54:43] Maybe because you're all NEEEEEEEERDS >:( [17:55:15] My brother sounds like, an octave higher than his real voice when he talks on vent, it's bizarre. [17:55:16] Dem: About 80 [17:55:39] And no, I'm pretty sure you were right the first time with per second. [17:55:56] Hahaha [17:55:59] I can only pull 60 wpm. :( [17:56:04] Yeah, I have this odd phenomenon, where my brother's voice and mine are immensely appart in real life, but disturbingly similar in teamspeak. That's odd. [17:56:09] Yeah I've been told I have a suprisingly deep voice. [17:56:27] You kind of just sounded normal? [17:56:43] Maybe it's suprisingly deep compared to the shrill shrieking we've all come to expect. :| [17:56:50] The best thing is that we're playing WoW together, and if we're raiding, if I don't mute him, I hear my brother's voice twice. Except they sound like TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PEOPLE. [17:57:08] haha [17:57:31] (At work today, we realized that the owner never tells me what to do, he always messages other people and tells them what I should be doing. And my theory is that he doesn't message me because my residual jockishness give the impression that if he talks to me, I'm going to shove him into a locker. :V) [17:57:43] D" [17:57:44] Like, I'll hear this fairly deep voice coming from the next room. And then half a second later, I hear the same words in a pleasant tenor through my speakers. [17:57:45] D: [17:58:15] And it's like "What the FUCK was that?" [17:58:52] hahaha [18:02:00] Are we waiting to introduce Ottonius? [18:02:14] I've got a plan [18:03:04] * Eilenia nods [18:03:27] kayo [18:06:11] I forget, have you guys had a rest? [18:06:21] Everything's going according to planned. *xanatos pose* [18:06:43] Nope. [18:07:37] Alright, so that's a thing that needs resolved, then [18:07:51] Huh, interesting. Current theory is that the plane in Swamp Fever was shot down [18:07:56] I'm at half surges [18:08:32] The plane was a zombie, so Nick shot it. [18:08:40] Hahah [18:09:25] That or there was just a general no-fly in effect [18:09:35] Or it was just a plane full of infected going on autopilot [18:09:44] Yeah we're currently on the same day as the dragon and Coldheart [18:09:51] Since if one guy on a plane turns, that's it for the entire crew and passengers [18:10:00] * Eilenia nods [18:10:23] Tabitha around? [18:10:46] Yeah, she's still following you guys. If only because you're kind of her ride home. :| [18:11:47] So did we rest? [18:11:53] Like after interrogating those prisoners? [18:12:15] If you want, yeah [18:12:37] I'm not going to penalize you for resting, because the longer you go without a rest, the shittier I have to make encounters. :| [18:12:50] I'm fine with a rest. [18:13:54] Resting is good. [18:14:15] Alright, you took an extended after dealing with the prisoners [18:15:40] heh [18:21:08] I just want to put this out there, guys, and I'm really sorry, but this was my first full day at a new job, and I'm feeling really tired. I'm not sure how much further I can feasibly go [18:21:58] Meeting Ottonius and then cliffhanger for encounter nextweek? [18:22:09] Sounds good to me, yeah [18:22:18] *nods* [18:22:27] * Eilenia nods [18:28:10] Does the sword really override the plane's effects? [18:28:31] In what way? [18:28:45] The plane doesn't automatically dim light sources [18:28:47] Glowingr bright as day. [18:28:48] I don't think the Shadowfell in and of itself reduces artificial light sources [18:28:54] It's just always twilight [18:28:57] Yeah [18:29:06] And I'm carying a SUNblade. :V [18:29:09] (As opposed to the glitterfell, which is always Twilight) [18:29:17] hahahahahahahahaha [18:29:31] Is that the crossection of the Feywild and the Shadowfell? [18:29:40] Hahah [18:29:42] (Regular SAN roll for this place I say) [18:30:47] haha [18:31:23] I didn't just, like, run across a courtyard of demon worshipers, right? [18:31:40] I thought the opposite mausoleum was like, right across a street [18:32:05] Yeah [18:32:14] He mentioned a number of unarmed figures [18:32:18] You *still* have your sunblade lit up, though [18:32:22] oh true [18:32:25] So you're not exactly Solid Snaking this bitch [18:33:20] Yeah [18:33:30] I was just mentally picturing it bigger. [18:33:36] like, the whole necropolis [18:33:44] anway! strength check to bust the door down [18:33:47] 1d20+7 [18:33:47] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+7: 6 +7 = 13 [18:33:50] :( [18:34:43] Alright, we're going into skill challenge time, where the challenge is 'Rescue the hostages before the cult comes down on you like the fist of evil god' [18:35:14] Whoo [18:35:32] That was failure one. [18:35:36] oh. :( [18:35:51] Actually, let me check the skill challenge difficulties [18:35:56] They're easier than you'd think [18:36:53] We're in plain sight of the cultists, yeah? [18:36:53] Shit, I can't find DMG2 [18:36:58] Anyone have the table on hand? [18:36:59] Yeah [18:37:02] hang on [18:37:39] I went to the rules updates [18:37:48] 7 easy [18:37:53] 12 moderage [18:37:56] 17 hard [18:38:04] Alright, that's a success, then [18:38:08] Woot! [18:38:45] OKay, going to try Ghost SOund to try to create the sound of incoming arrowfire from a different angle to try to distract them. [18:38:51] Arcana check: [18:38:52] 1d20+14 [18:38:53] Eilenia rolls 1D20+14: 11 +14 = 25 [18:39:01] Loading up character builder [18:39:01] Is that an acceptable thign to do? [18:39:38] I'd say that gives a +2 on a check to attack them [18:40:02] It's not making them any more out of the way, but it's a definite advantage [18:40:13] * Eilenia nods. [18:40:17] Oh, and you can attack for successes in this, or burn a daily for an auto-success [18:40:27] Any idea what you're up to, Yon? [18:40:44] http://zip.4chan.org/tg/src/1259023799410.jpg [18:40:53] Is this really Dark Heresy? :V [18:41:17] hahah [18:41:28] Actually brb for a second, sorry [18:43:23] Soo... [18:43:30] Hmm [18:43:47] I'm going to blast my sword to full brightness and roll an intimidate on the cultists [18:43:54] once I get the CB open [18:45:25] I'm pretty sure my intimidate sucks, but with that +2 it should be okay [18:45:36] I'm going to try religion, see if I can figure out something that we could maybe quickly desecrate to draw off some attention. That work? [18:46:46] Just for the record, the end goal of this challenge *is* to get the cultists out of there, like, not just to socially throw them off. I'm sort of testing the minor-combat-as-skill-challenge idea here [18:47:09] So those would both work, but the religion check would probably just act as aid another on an attack power check [18:47:58] I wanted to use an illusion to rout them, but I realized I can't actually make visual illusions as written [18:48:02] Not without blowing a power [18:48:21] I'm going to try and get them to leave through intimidation [18:48:25] ... oh, I think I may have an idea. I'll see when it's my turn again [18:48:33] 1d20+5 [18:48:33] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+5: 14 +5 = 19 [18:48:38] woooooot! [18:48:41] that was with Eve's +2 [18:48:42] 1d20+9 [18:48:42] Paera rolls 1D20+9: 3 +9 = 12 [18:50:01] I was thinking more along the lines of a diversion but I guess I'm not quite all here tonight [18:50:49] I'm pretty sure all Paera needs to do is use Consecrated Ground. That'll REALLY piss em off! :V [18:51:03] (like shitting all over an altar) [18:51:26] And I meant Elena's +2 [18:51:30] From the illusion [18:51:31] Two and one. [18:51:33] * Charles nods [18:51:35] Hey Charles, can Ia blow Hypnotic Pattern on a visual illusion? [18:51:43] Instead of only Ghost Sound [18:52:22] DId.... Did Eve just make a cultist hurl himself through a glass window? :D:D:D:D:D:D [18:52:22] Sure [18:53:06] Alright, going to create an illusion of Orcus himself making an appearance. Then Elena's going to Cloud of Daggers it into a skeleton, which falls apart. And see if that'll break them. [18:53:10] Arcana [18:53:11] 1d20+14 [18:53:11] Eilenia rolls 1D20+14: 17 +14 = 31 [18:53:15] Eve's got a reputation by this point. If she's slaughtered innocent kobolds, just think of what she'll do to some dude who's actually wearing leather armor made from humanoid flesh? :gonk:/:V [18:53:25] hahahahahaha [18:53:38] Oh god is that what they're wearing? [18:53:42] I... [18:53:56] Can I make an attack roll as part of this skill challenge to kill one of them? [18:54:09] Cause that shit will not fly with Eve. [18:54:49] How does Eve know what it is? [18:54:53] Yeah, that's sort of what I've been getting at. :| [18:55:11] Eve fought some pretty heinousely fucked-up barbarians in Tsarovgorov [18:55:18] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [18:55:41] I dunno if anyone's played the demo of Wet with Rubi, and those psycho berserker levels where everything suddenly turns red. [18:55:53] Nope. [18:56:03] Saw the game, and these sequences [18:56:03] But I'm sorta imagining Eve lighting up the room and just going BERSERK when she realizes there's someone's face on that guy's armor. [18:56:10] I was vaguely interested, though [18:56:14] Why would you use a face for armor? [18:56:21] I dunno faces make shitty leather, they've got tons of holes. :| [18:56:23] It's like... got holes in it already [18:56:33] You can sew them up. [18:56:35] :V [18:56:35] 1d20+12 [18:56:36] Ottonius rolls 1D20+12: 14 +12 = 26 [18:56:45] Anyway, does Eve recognize humanoid leather armor? [18:57:11] Did [18:57:11] 1d20+7 [18:57:11] Ottonius rolls 1D20+7: 17 +7 = 24 [18:57:26] Did Ottonius just make an explosion of burning spirit appear through sheer force of will? [18:57:43] That's exactly what he did. [18:58:26] Have you by any chance seen a certain super robot anime created by the fine people at Gainax that doesn't involve misused biblical imagery? [18:58:46] Oh, come on, Nova [18:58:58] Don't make me draw a parallel between Gurren Lagann and the Bible [18:59:08] Because you know I'll do it, and it won't be fun for ANY of us [18:59:22] http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/11/23/ [18:59:26] haha [18:59:32] So does eve recognize people-armor or not? [18:59:40] Not by the end actually, but, yes. Though of course, a Bravura Warlord ALWAYS is this. Even moreso if he happens to multiclass as a sorcerer. [19:00:09] Cause I'll seriously just activate my daily aura of 1d10 damage for five minutes and start MURDERING CULTISTS IN A BLOODSTORM [19:00:32] She did, yeah [19:00:52] OKay, this daily makes any enemy that starts its turn next to me take 1[w] damage [19:00:58] Is that good enough for an auto-success? [19:01:28] He already said that a daily can be blown for a success [19:01:34] Oh, missed it [19:01:36] Using it [19:02:00] Motherfuckers not reading my skill challenge concept. >:| [19:02:35] I just read Eve's incoherent yell and I thought of the Tank theme. :( [19:02:56] hahahahah [19:03:32] Is there a cultist at pursuable range ? Or, say, at flying kicking range ? [19:03:55] Oh, that simplifies matter [19:04:06] We can say that the one that got away is within range, if you want to beat some ass [19:04:28] Is Eve going outside again? [19:04:55] Yes [19:05:06] Oh, nah, that'll be alright. Asses will be kicked righteously in time. [19:05:33] I'm using the five minutes of automatic minion killing. [19:05:50] Eve's going to Crazy 88 this sumbitch. [19:06:53] Aw dammit [19:07:00] That doesn't look like a minion [19:07:03] End of session cliffhanger? [19:08:02] As much as I want to let introductions happen, yeah [19:09:14] Eve's gonna be That Guy in L4D. :| [19:09:17] Can next combat start with my stance still active? [19:09:26] "GET IN THE SAFE ROOM!" "NO" [19:09:27] Yeah [19:09:30] heh [19:10:05] So, Ran, which flavor of BURNING JUSTICE is Ottonius? [19:10:16] I have a feeling he and Eve will get along. [19:10:32] Well, he's the self made, intependant flavor of BURNING JUSTICE [19:10:40] nice [19:10:55] Thanks. [19:12:09] And, I'm hesitant as to, shall i continue, or not. [19:12:34] Due to impending end of the session and stuff. [19:12:53] I think session is over [19:13:37] Well, I guess my athletics roll for dynamic entry will have to wait for the next one. [19:13:55] It's kind of a weird meeting for Ottonius though, since he saw Eve be all heroic and stuff, then SNAP two seconds later. [19:14:18] That's probably part of what makes it interesting. [19:16:12] heh [19:16:40] Seeing Eve be all heroic then completely lose her shit is sort of the crash course for knowing Eve. :V [19:17:26] * Ottonius is now known as Ranakel [19:17:31] * Paera is now known as Yon [19:17:58] * Eilenia is now known as Demota [19:18:03] Well, sounds like a fun neighborhood. [19:18:05] Well, that was fun. Though understandably brief [19:19:04] Yeah, sorry. :/ [19:19:40] You know, I wonder if the carrier plotline was planned from the start in L4D. It seems sort of odd that if it was, it wouldn't have even been hinted at by the army in Blood Harvest [19:20:16] Hard to say [19:20:25] * Eve_Kasnora is now known as NovaSeaker [19:20:26] * ChanServ sets mode: +o NovaSeaker [19:20:29] It might not have been something they were aware of until the third week [19:21:00] True [19:21:17] I kinda wonder when, exactly, the non-immune riot happened in New Orleans [19:21:29] You know, if this was persona, Eve's shadow would have a field day. [19:21:43] Because it seems like, at some recent point, there was a pretty notable holdout [19:21:51] * Demota nods [19:22:08] And then non-immunes started letting carriers into the main camp, and it apparently went to hell real quick [19:22:28] "You're just as bloodthirsty as those demons. Admit it. You loved it when you found those people wearing human skin. It meant you could slaughter them all without remorse." [19:22:33] To the point where the army was bombing the city and was almost entirely done pulling out by the time the survivors arrived End of #Exalted buffer Mon Nov 23 19:22:41 2009
