Session Start: Thu Feb 04 00:00:01 2010 Session Ident: #Exalted 01[17:33:43] #Youkai's open for those who wanna pile in early 03[17:34:31] * MrMattyQ is now known as Kale 03[17:37:30] * Adyen is now known as Emmy 03[17:38:05] * Yon is now known as Megumi 01[17:39:35] Shall we start without Maha, or wait a little while longer? [17:41:12] I'll do whatever other people are up for [17:41:20] Where are we, right now? Charles was filling me in a lot earlier [17:41:37] is it okay if I try my hand at getting Fortunia to run over on Sandwich? 01[17:42:29] I don't mind either way, but Charles will probably be hesitant to go there depending on who else is in the game [17:42:35] ah [17:43:08] Yeah, it would depend. I wouldn't mind going over there, but I don't like a lot of the people on that server 01[17:43:41] And I can't speak for Yon [17:43:54] Oh man, Matt, was it with you when I said someone was the scum of the earth, and you said they were the salt of the earth, and I said I got scum and salt mixed up a lot? I just rememberd that I thought I was really funny then [17:44:05] Yeah, that was us [17:44:18] I don't care either way. We can start now or otherwise, cause I'm just laughing it out at some of the dick moves in the LP. 01[17:44:29] What are they doing, exactly? [17:45:05] You know, shooting the last strangerler to end the stage early... make funny black jokes... [17:45:21] completely fail to crownd the witch. [17:46:30] (What is Fortunia, and Sandwich?) [17:47:36] Fortunia is a game setting I designed and Sandwich is the other server I hang out on [17:47:48] Ahhh. [17:50:28] (Am I the dude who disappeared weeks ago?) [17:51:06] I thought Kale and Kentaro were in the same class, so I figured that was the best way I could react. :| [17:51:10] Yeah! [17:51:12] No, ti's good [17:51:20] I wanted to amke sure I understood before I answered [17:56:21] It took me a minute to decide wether Kentaro could pronounce Kale's name [17:56:28] But in the end, 'no' won out [17:58:07] Man. [17:58:18] Eggs and Biscuit suck so bad. [17:59:02] I'm having biscuits and orange juice. [18:01:22] I think starting with the three dumbest characters and Kale maybe wasn't a good idea. :| 01[18:01:50] hahaha 01[18:04:13] hahah 01[18:04:16] WHoops [18:05:03] Kaaaru [18:05:06] KAAAAARUUUU [18:07:55] KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN [18:09:00] Oh, Matt wants to play an Uroxi guy for heroquest [18:09:19] I kinda think we maybe need a Lankor Mhy worshipper and we've got a good, rounded group 01[18:12:56] What's that agaain? "Punches dudes" dude? [18:13:13] Uroxi are the anti-chaos warriors [18:13:16] Yeah, Urox is the bull god that wrecks shit [18:13:26] The mendicants are called "Storm Bulls" [18:13:40] Though I'm not sure if I'm leaning Storm Bull, or Storm Bull sidekick. [18:14:03] I thought every Uroxi was called a Storm Bull [18:14:09] At least if they're devout enough [18:14:13] Actually, that might be the thing [18:14:40] Uroxi who're mendicants and go around fighting chaos instead of helping their clans with farming and getting in fights probably *are* pretty deep into their cult [18:14:44] Since they act like their god [18:15:26] Oh! [18:16:23] And people who're deep into their cult take on their gods' titles [18:16:43] I guess I assumed the Storm Bulls were basically Uroxi cultists [18:16:51] But I don't really know enough to back that up [18:16:59] They are, yeah [18:17:10] I kinda spoke out my ass [18:17:23] I'm not sure how deep into the mysteries you have to be before you get your god's title [18:20:37] I do really like the "Storm Bull squire" idea [18:20:46] We'll have to fool around with it a little 06[18:21:11] * Kentaro nods [18:21:39] I really love the idea of being the Pancho Sanza to a guy who's probably the anthropomorphic version of a chaos-hating tornado 01[18:22:00] Hahaha [18:24:32] All I'm saying is that the story of the Storm Bull and the Windmill ends A LOT differently. 01[18:25:47] :black101: 01[18:30:35] There. I ... think I might be done with this. 01[18:31:02] First verison, anyway [18:32:33] Hahhaah 01[18:32:46] http://demota.sandwich.net/lp/lotr/vidlink.jpg Here it is. 01[18:32:53] A BUTTON THAT, WHEN CLICKED, LINKS TO A VIDEO. [18:33:10] Holycrap. [18:33:24] Wow 01[18:33:27] Can you read it fine? [18:33:36] I can't fucking speak Tengwar. :( 01[18:34:22] No one can speak Tengwar any more than they can speak the Roman alphabet. :| 01[18:34:33] Can you probably make a decent guess about what it says? :| [18:35:47] That was sort of the joke 01[18:35:53] haha [18:35:59] And yeah, I thought it was pretty awesome [18:36:15] Are you going to do ones for Daily Motion and other sites? :| 01[18:36:15] Now I need to write "Broadcast yourself" :( [18:36:19] Hahahahah 01[18:36:22] I plan to do it for Viddler and WeGame, yeah [18:36:35] I wonder if Elven has something like the pope adding new words to Latin [18:36:48] Huh. [18:36:49] The Severing [18:36:49] Kinship is an essential part of Orlanthi culture and [18:36:49] religion. To be without kin is to be dead. Nonetheless, [18:36:49] some deities’ actions are contrary to Orlanth’s laws. [18:36:49] They include Babeester Gor, Eurmal, Humakt, Urox, [18:36:49] and sometimes others. Those deities have dispensation [18:36:51] to perform their unspeakable actions without accruing [18:36:51] harm to themselves. To protect society from these acts, [18:36:53] these cults have rites that sunder a person’s normal social [18:36:53] and divine bonds. After this severance, their kin are safe [18:36:55] from reprisal for their criminal actions. The worshipper’s [18:36:55] kinsmen are not responsible in any way, and no divine [18:36:57] wrath accrues to their community for any action the [18:36:57] worshipper takes, whether cult sanctioned or not. Of 01[18:36:57] And it's in English. It's just using the Tengwar script and vowel treatment. [18:36:59] course, if they commit crimes against Orlanth’s laws that [18:36:59] their god does not sanction, they may bring down divine [18:37:01] wrath onto their temple, congregation, or warband. [18:37:03] Aww. [18:37:20] I was hoping Elvish was developed enough to have words for 'you' and 'tube' 01[18:37:22] haha 01[18:37:36] Specifically, using Sindarin. There's two major modes of Tengwar writing, Quenya and Sindarin 01[18:37:42] Quenya is older, Sindarin is newer. 01[18:38:24] In Quenya, the vowels go above following consonants. Sindarin places them above preceding consonants. 01[18:38:32] So if you read it, it says... 01[18:38:55] OU 01[18:39:06] Y TUB 01[18:39:11] ... wiat a sec 01[18:39:16] Dammit. It's not all done. 01[18:39:20] I forgot the "e" 01[18:39:28] Which is a circle placed under the "B" 06[18:39:49] * Kentaro nods 01[18:40:02] Some vowels go over, some vowels go under 01[18:40:15] Also, the script is like, amazingly formulaic 01[18:40:25] Everything is either a dot, a vertical line, or a hook. 01[18:41:21] Oh, wait [18:41:25] Huh. 01[18:41:28] ... yeah.. I screwed up [18:41:32] Aw. :( [18:41:51] Huh. Orlanthi and Praxians share worship of Urox, though he's a more important god for them [18:42:11] When the two culturies ally with each other, the cult of the Storm Bull is a big gathering point for them [18:43:01] Huh. [18:43:01] Urox personally pursues the souls of worshippers [18:43:01] slain by Chaos, even to the pits of entropy beyond the [18:43:01] cosmos. This assures his warriors a greater chance of [18:43:01] survival after death. 01[18:44:43] Huh 01[18:45:14] Fixed 01[18:45:31] http://demota.sandwich.net/lp/lotr/vidlink.jpg Fixed. [18:46:04] It's a fascinating script 01[18:47:24] The tricky thing is that it doesn't say "Youtube'. It says "You Tube" 01[18:47:52] The hook above the third character would go above the first character in the red box if it were treated as a single word [18:48:23] Maybe no one will know the difference 01[18:48:46] THe elves will know [18:49:46] What determines where the hook goes? [18:49:49] Huh. [18:49:50] Uroxi dislike anything that does not conform to [18:49:50] their crude and simple cult. They exercise this dislike [18:49:50] through contempt for others and their way of life [18:49:50] (even if they partake of the contemptible lifestyle). [18:49:51] They distrust strangers and their gods, and scorn [18:49:51] anyone weaker than them. [18:49:58] Oh, wow, I didn't realize the Dow Jones was back up over 10,000. 01[18:50:05] Woah. Since when? [18:50:05] Sorry, completely unrelated, and really boring. [18:50:08] Socially, Uroxi berserks are unacceptable. They [18:50:08] characteristically act with total disregard for any tribal [18:50:08] taboos or manners, and they are frightful enough [18:50:08] that they can sometimes avoid punishment even [18:50:08] for murder. Normal people consider all Uroxi to [18:50:09] be mindless brutes: deranged and dangerous, barely [18:50:09] human. These opinions are correct, but the fear [18:50:11] of Chaos overrides the temporary discomfort that [18:50:11] people must suffer to have the Uroxi around. Most [18:50:13] men fear Chaos, but not the Uroxi, who actually seek [18:50:13] it out to destroy it, and that alone makes normal 01[18:50:13] Mom's been watching the Dow Jones like a hawk [18:50:15] people respect them even as they fear them. [18:50:15] No, that's cool 01[18:50:34] Was it after this morning? [18:50:50] Since about October of 2009 [18:51:01] December, actually 01[18:51:13] Oh [18:51:20] Oh, November 6 [18:51:32] Sorry, yeah, Nov 6. I just totally missed it [18:51:36] last time I checked it was something like 7000 [18:53:51] Oh, does anyone know if S:TO has a f2p portion? [18:53:54] STO [18:54:09] Charles and I were hanging out earlier, and I was able to login using my beta account. o_o 01[18:54:12] F2P? [18:54:18] Free 2 play 01[18:54:22] Not htat I know of [18:54:42] It was a weird thing; I hadn't registered my full game code yet, so I was able to jump right on without paying 02[18:55:03] * Kale (MattinMeet@75-147-52-61-NewEngland.hfc.comcastbusiness.net) Quit (Quit: Kale) 01[18:55:30] Where is Matt? D: [18:55:43] His shift at the library ended 01[18:55:49] oooh 01[18:56:10] Hm. Still a little sloppy. The baselines don't line up [18:57:53] Huh. [18:57:53] In many [18:57:53] Orlanthi temples, Urox is depicted as a fettered bull [18:57:53] that is unbound on Urox’s Holy Days. 01[18:58:00] Huh [19:02:34] Sorry, back 03[19:02:36] * MattyQ is now known as Kale [19:02:50] Many clans and tribes include an Uroxi among their [19:02:50] mercenaries and bodyguards. Most Uroxi belong to [19:02:50] one of several independent warbands that wander [19:02:50] about at the direction of their god, killing Chaos and [19:02:50] straining the hospitality of settled folk. [19:03:01] ahh 01[19:03:01] re [19:03:35] Matt: I _was_ able to play STO without activating my account [19:04:02] Their billing seems a little glitchy [19:04:28] (then I activated it to get my preorder bonus shit so I don't know if it's still the case) [19:05:22] Hahahah [19:05:22] Initiates of [19:05:23] Urox are commonly called “Bullmen” (or sometimes [19:05:23] “Bully Boys”) by the Orlanthi. [19:10:34] Those are both Japanese animal onomonopaea. :| 01[19:11:07] heheh 01[19:11:12] I wonder why the bee has that noise [19:11:21] It's the sound of the bee buzzing [19:11:32] The horse thing was the sound of galloping then whinnying [19:16:21] "ro> “Bully Boys”) by the Orlanthi. [19:16:21] Whoops [19:16:56] You know, I read that as "He eats his shirt" [19:17:10] The Storm Bull Spirit Society <- This is a header for a Sartar section and would also be a great name for a band that sounded a LOT like Pearl Jam 01[19:18:38] http://forums.somethingawful.com/attachment.php?postid=371205105 Geez [19:18:55] Man, I'm super tired :( 02[19:26:50] * Rowyn (rowyn2001@66.201.146.49) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [19:27:19] Hahaha holy shit [19:27:31] I thought winnipeg roads were bad [19:28:38] How did that happen? 01[19:29:19] Dunno [19:29:38] I mean we get potholes you can lose an entire car in but that's ridiculous [19:30:16] Huh. Resurrection is a thing in KoDP, but it involves healing the wounds of the dead, and then going to the underworld to convince the soul to come back [19:30:22] Er, in Heroquest [19:30:38] And many who are ressurected become listless and devote themselves to Humakt, part of themselves having remained dead [19:30:53] Others become strangely aspected to life, and begin worshipping Chalana Arroy 01[19:30:53] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wVEhafuF7A 01[19:31:03] huh 01[19:31:06] Interesting 03[19:32:55] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [19:33:46] Heyo [19:33:52] HAH [19:33:57] So I asked one of my friends 01[19:34:11] Hi Nova 06[19:34:14] * NovaSeaker looks around, sees DH. [19:34:14] What's with this girl in our guild who's kind of a psycho bitch and incoherent [19:34:20] Hey Nova [19:34:30] And he tells me that a) she's drunk most raids [19:34:31] brb 06[19:34:34] * NovaSeaker POUNCES DH. [19:34:37] and b) she's from Quebec. [19:34:45] EVERYTHING makes sense now. [19:34:47] YOU ABANDONED US! [19:34:50] *THROTTLE* [19:35:57] Where is that sinkhole anyways 01[19:36:02] wow [19:37:26] Huh. Ernadla's cult's runes are Harmony, Earth, Earth, Life [19:37:51] Woot. I got that scammer's account erased 01[19:38:14] Grats 01[19:38:17] What'll you do now? [19:38:40] Continue as normal? 01[19:39:44] http://demota.sandwich.net/lp/lotr/vidlink2.jpg New version 01[19:39:48] Thoughts? [19:40:19] The picture says it's in Guatemala? 01[19:40:27] Yeah [19:41:33] Hahahha, that's pretty cute Dem, I like it 01[19:41:42] Thanks [19:42:15] heading out. See yas 01[19:42:20] Later 02[19:42:33] * Alt-Eisen (neorook@cpe-76-175-9-161.socal.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [19:48:18] Dem: What does it SAY though? [19:48:45] Like does that actually translate to Youtube? 01[19:48:51] Well, if I did my job correctly with the iconography, it should be pretty clear. Which makes me worry. :( 01[19:48:54] Oh, good 01[19:48:57] Yeah, it says Youtube 01[19:48:58] Or You Tube 01[19:49:19] Tengwar is weird. [19:49:35] I was just making sure that Elvish actually had the words for that. :V [19:50:23] Could you add "Broadcast yourself" under it, or would broadcast be impossible in Elvish? 01[19:51:04] I was planning on doing that in a later version, yeah. 01[19:51:11] And it's actually in English. 01[19:51:35] It's just using the Tengwar script, which is organized close enough to English that you can substitute letters almost exactly 01[19:51:37] Almost. [19:51:41] Aaah 01[19:51:47] There are unique letters for like, "nd" next to each other 01[19:52:01] And the letter for "e" is different depending on if it's silent 01[19:52:17] It's organized weird as hell 01[19:52:44] The first three characters you see are "You", outsid ehte red box. Except the o and the u aren't where you think they are 01[19:52:54] They're the little curved strokes 01[19:53:03] The veritcal line is just holding them up. 01[19:53:24] Inside the actual red box, see the little stroke above the center character? That's "u" 01[19:53:35] And the thing underneath is b. 01[19:55:16] The vowels go above or underneath consonants. 01[19:55:29] If a consonant isn't handy, it gets put on top of a pillar 01[20:06:06] Aaaanyone around? :( [20:06:48] I'm kinda sleepy :( 01[20:07:20] http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThisTroper wow [20:07:53] I'm eating plain rice. >_> [20:17:13] Well at least TV Tropes thinks it's bullshit too 01[20:17:21] Yeah 01[20:17:32] So what's going on? Do people not know what to say? 01[20:17:41] Should I just call the session here? 03[20:19:05] * Rowyn (rowyn2001@66.201.146.49) has joined #Exalted 01[20:19:29] http://www.destructoid.com/warhammer-40-000-mmo-shown-at-e3-built-to-last-162550.phtml 01[20:19:30] Hey [20:20:28] Was it made out of Dakka? [20:20:48] I'm not quite sure what's actually up in the game... and Kale's more of the others' friend anyways. 01[20:21:07] Molyneux is preparing a lecture titled "The Complex Challenges of Intuitive Design." According to the event organizers, Molyneux will be using Fable III to demonstrate "examples of long-established game mechanics which Lionhead intends to replace with more user-friendly and modern iterations." 01[20:21:16] Well, Daisuke just asked you what's up. :| 01[20:21:27] About half an hour ago in real time 01[20:21:36] http://www.destructoid.com/new-wii-zelda-will-be-a-motion-plus-exclusive-162438.phtml [20:24:23] I'm completely out of it, unfortunately [20:24:35] My keyboard is starting to look like a pillow 01[20:24:39] :( [20:24:46] Mine too, sorry about that =( 01[20:25:22] Charles, you around? 01[20:25:28] I think I'll just clal it here. :/ 03[20:26:08] * Megumi is now known as Yon [20:26:10] Ya, me too... I'm just kinda down that we're stuck with 'human' problems. 03[20:26:14] * Emmy is now known as Adyen [20:26:45] So, uh...the Watchers. Even though I kind of knew it was coming, I still was taken by surprise. 01[20:27:02] Roleplay is fun. 01[20:27:25] Yon: Yeah 01[20:27:29] It's... what the hell [20:27:40] It is, but when you're not really actually living the daily life and little things, you don't have a lot of things to say to everyday questions. Session Close: Fri Feb 05 00:00:00 2010
