Session Start: Sat Apr 05 19:03:15 2003 [19:03] * Topic is 'Exalted: Teardrops fall like rain, but they are a salty taste like the sea. Is it not true that the sea holds all mysteries, since it is so deep? Then to find the answer to why your love cries, you must sail... away, sail away....' [19:03] Kuniko's answer is already up. [19:03] hellooo [19:03] Hello, GH. [19:03] 'ello, GH! [19:03] * GoldenH does the he has abyssals [19:03] *dance [19:03] yo boss-man [19:04] * Retrieving #pvpexalted info... [19:04] * GoldenH should come up with a box of topicses [19:04] hey Gh [19:04] yay ! [19:05] do you likes my topicses? [19:05] * GoldenH tries to make profound topicses [19:06] You know what's nice? Having the image of Kuniko sitting on your lap in your head. :) [19:06] lol Hikari [19:06] Oh dear. I was tired when I wrote that answer... [19:06] * Hikari counts two unfinished sentences. [19:07] lol [19:07] i didn't notice [19:07] must be tired too [19:09] AHem. DT? [19:09] http://www.battlebots.com/meet_the_robots3/meet_robot_specs.asp?id=531 [19:09] 3,000 pounds of flipping force in a 115 pound robot. [19:09] * Fiat is not impressed by the Robot Wars counterpart. [19:10] * DarthTom shrugs [19:10] How fast is it ? [19:11] Doesn't say exactly. From what I remember, it's pretty fast. [19:11] * DarthTom has never seen battlebots [19:11] Ahhh [19:11] It'd be an interesting match... [19:11] ...why am I picturing it like a Driving Range contest [19:12] "Who cna shotput the refbot the farthest ?" [19:13] holy schnikies...superheavyweights... [19:13] * Fiat chuckles. Ah, yes, the superheavyweights. [19:14] Minion, baby. [19:14] blech...they're all wedgebots [19:14] * Fiat shrugs. Diesector is a wedgebot? [19:14] I exaggerate [19:14] It has the pnuematic crusher. [19:14] * DarthTom loathes wedgebots *g* [19:14] I want to see parts flying, man [19:14] though some of these are pretty nasty [19:14] * Fiat 's looking for Vlad the Impaler... [19:15] Vlad is Awesome.. [19:15] hey ! Killdozer ! [19:15] Known mainly for being so damn fast it ends up performing flips. [19:16] * Fiat nods. A lot of the lower-echelon Battlebots cross over to Robot Wars. [19:16] * Jydan got Abyssals today. [19:16] * Jydan is going to build a sorcerer soon. [19:16] Whoops. Vladiator. [19:16] Wrong Vlad-series. [19:17] Hm...they sponsor these things ? [19:17] It's a good way to stress-test different things. [19:18] Minion if cool and all...but you'd hafta pay me a LOT of money to put 'Magic: The Gathering' on the side of ym bot [19:18] ........ Liege background..... It gives you extra bonus points...... [19:18] Besides, when you start building things out of lexan and titanium and such, it gets costly. [19:18] There ya go... [19:19] That's the reason the qualitiy level between the two shows is so different... [19:19] Mos tof the Robot Wars stuff are, well...garage bots [19:19] Then again, it honestly depends on who you're dealing with. [19:19] True [19:19] Biohazard has been doing i with the same design for years and years. [19:19] heh [19:20] One of the garage bots made a nice run... [19:20] I maintian: the smart people design a bot that can still operate and fight whilst flipped over [19:20] Kid in high school, it was essentially a metal-ripping saw on wheels. [19:20] Sunshine Lollibot. [19:20] Garage bots are like...hot rods to the jet fighters [19:20] Niiiice [19:20] Admittedly, T-Minus sent it flying around. [19:21] Still nothing beats Diotor, the whipping boy of Robot Wars [19:21] They'r elike Kenny...they keep coming back for more [19:21] Okay, the Sil reply is up. [19:21] (that's the one covered with red fuzz) [19:21] Heh. [19:21] They've caught fire *so* many times [19:21] yet, it never seemed to impede them much [19:22] it was this big rolling fireball with two big eyes ramming the hlel out of opposition before getting flipped [19:22] * Fiat remembers the time somebody hit the tank for the compressed gas on Toro... [19:22] Boom. [19:23] It EXPLODED ?! [19:23] That...is why you ARMOR your compressed gas [19:23] * Fiat shrugs. It's somewhat exaggerated. [19:23] Essentially, it ripped the side off the ot. [19:23] Ah [19:23] probably with some internal components to boot [19:24] But you know, when 200 pounds of force driving a hardened steel spike hits the tank? [19:24] Armor doesn't mean jack. [19:24] point [19:24] * Fiat shrugs. pounds of forces is a misnomer... [19:24] I THINK it was Diesectors jaws that got it. [19:24] Ahhh [19:24] It might have been a rammer. [19:24] * DarthTom has alwayers preferred the bots with spinning discs of doom...or crushers [19:25] * Fiat shrugs. Wedgebot tends to beat them with the proper design. [19:25] Although son of Whyachi... [19:25] Yeah, but wedgebots are DULL [19:26] As I've said : I wanna see parts FLY [19:26] * Fiat shrugs. I prefer a GOOD wedgebot because it's such an excellent design. [19:26] Biohazard, not a million imitators. [19:26] Heavyweight, Son of Whyachi. [19:27] Essentially the only bot to ever damage Biohazard beyond cosmetic damage. [19:27] heh [19:27] And Biohazard STILL almost took it out. [19:27] Took out one of the bracing arms on the spinner, it kept ALMOST flipping itself over. [19:27] * Silesia (~bandwidth@203.219.75.162) has joined #pvpexalted [19:27] 'ello, Sil. [19:27] Hello all [19:27] Hey Sil! [19:28] Does anybody remember who's going to run an Abyssal game? [19:28] * Silesia is really really tired right now as we were gaming until late. [19:28] * Jydan is quite intrigued. [19:28] hey sil [19:28] hi stranger [19:28] It ain't that bad, Fiat. [19:29] * Fiat rolls his eyes. Riiight. And DBs aren't buildable to beat Solars of the same power level. [19:29] bloody HELL... [19:29] And swords only ever do bashing damage. [19:29] This thing is insane ! [19:29] they should have a suicide wedgebot [19:29] they can take a wedgebot.. [19:29] and put TNT inside. [19:29] rofl [19:29] Can't. [19:29] The only thing I don't like is the Liege Background. It buys you bloody Bonus Points. [19:29] Against the rules, be stupid. [19:29] they'll never know until it's too late. [19:30] Thank you Hikari for the reply!!!! [19:30] * Fiat shrugs. No, they check before the competition, man. Besides, blowing up your own robot is stupid. [19:30] Hello Sil. I have (kinda) answered your relationships question. [19:30] ahhahahahahahahahah [19:30] * Fiat told you, DT. [19:30] dude... [19:30] just hide it inside a battery. [19:31] Actaully, the Cyphen is my character in Susenki's game. [19:31] * DarthTom still has a fondness for Garagebots [19:31] Take ANY Robot Wars bot and throw it in the Battlebots arena. [19:31] Like this line i found a crack up "I really think that he should stop living in his little dream world and realize what he is dealing with in this reality" [19:31] oh, it'd lose [19:31] I guessed that much. I just decided to go with the style in your post. [19:31] * DarthTom admits that [19:31] they'd jsut be outweighed [19:31] * Silesia is now known as Cyphren [19:31] Middleweights and lightweights? [19:32] * Cyphren got told off by Susenki about that last night [19:32] that's all RW *has*, man [19:32] Heck, take the house bots. Sir whatever. [19:32] The housebots woudl b ekilled [19:32] * Fiat 'd be greatly amused to see that bigass slow thing be thrown around. [19:32] they're dangerous 'cause they're bigger than anything else out there [19:33] Ziggo. check out Ziggo in the lightweights. [19:33] Shit, RW bots have taken out killalot with soem regularity [19:33] * Cyphren is now known as silesia [19:33] Dude, I'm not arguing with you [19:33] * silesia looks out side his window and think, the Sun is out and it a nice day. [19:33] * Fiat shrugs. Not arguing, just pointing out amusing bots. [19:33] Ziggo is the freaking KING of the lightweights. [19:34] Heh [19:34] It tears opposing ones to pieces, sparks fly, hell, it flies. [19:34] that thing is GREAT [19:34] It's always fun to see it go over the saws and launch about 15 feet. [19:34] See ya all, I am going out side and enjoy this lovely day we are having here. (and moe the lawn that is turning into a jungle right now_) [19:34] * silesia waves [19:34] bye sil [19:34] And it's tough enough to keep oing, even. [19:34] ciao [19:34] * silesia (~bandwidth@203.219.75.162) Quit (Quit: ) [19:34] buh-bye, Sil. [19:34] heh [19:35] See, I dislike wedgbots 'cause they all look the same...Ilove the wild, wacky designs [19:35] like the son of whatever...that thing is fookin' NUTS [19:35] and this one [19:35] sweet...one of the animatrix shorts just finised DLing [19:35] Tazbot's pretty cool looking. [19:36] Some of them are horrible in action but look cool. Ronin and Snake, for example. [19:36] what about an arc welder? [19:36] * GoldenH considers the doom [19:37] No. [19:37] could the DB group beat a wedgebot? [19:37] * GoldenH decides to find out... [19:37] Check out the rules, GH. [19:37] Since people are there in the area, they have strict rules governing what can be done. [19:37] aw [19:38] Heck, even without projectiles there's been many times they've torn through Lexan. [19:38] You can do tethered projectiles last I heard... [19:38] * Fiat shrugs. Anyway. The point is to do it mechanically, GH. [19:38] what the hell good would a projectile do, anyways ? [19:38] * GoldenH shrugs. chemistry is just a different kind of mechanics. [19:39] thoigh a tethered, high-powered speargun might do some good [19:39] wou'd only have one shot, though [19:39] * GoldenH shrugs. a gyrocopter would be neat [19:40] so tired.... [19:40] * Demetri (Fiat@dialup-67.30.192.173.Dial1.Atlanta1.Level3.net) has joined #pvpexalted [19:40] If you're fast enough to avoid it, you can win by shooting dinky little nothings at it and running away. And also, again, safety. [19:40] * Demetri is now known as TehFiat [19:40] demdem ! [19:41] Bill Nye's one of the guys in battlebots, right ? [19:41] Bill Nye talks about them sometimes. [19:41] Don't think he ever made one. [19:41] * TehFiat remembers Chin-zilla, Jay Leno's bot... [19:41] It's got no offense, but they sometimes put 5-6 bots in there with it and handicap it. Nobody has yet killed it. [19:42] * Fiat (Fiat@dialup-67.30.195.46.Dial1.Atlanta1.Level3.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [19:43] I knew that [19:43] ...Leno made a bot ? [19:43] * DarthTom was referrign to him as a 'host' not a competitor [19:43] * TehFiat 's pondering writing up Demetri's somewhat frantic call to the line... [19:43] Yeah, Leno. [19:43] Heh. [19:44] You are welcome. Just don't expect any coherent answer from me tonight. [19:44] hehe [19:44] are you sleepy too hikari.... :O [19:44] * TehFiat shrugs. Hadn't planned on one. [19:44] I'm having enough trouble writing up a coherent question. [19:44] * DarthTom is pretty zonked, too [19:45] ...mainly due to lack of sleep, though I had a pretty funky/god it was real dream last night [19:45] http://www.battlebots.com/download/BattleBots_Tech_Regs_v3.0.pdf [19:45] * TehFiat is amused at the contingencies they cover. [19:45] * DarthTom scowls [19:45] Everything from modular design to some stuff like "no Depleted uranium." [19:45] Yes, been gaming more or less non-stop for the last 16 hours. [19:45] FUCK...the Detective Story DL screwed up [19:46] woah Hik...hard-core [19:46] once i played something like 20 hours [19:46] * DarthTom 's NEVER gone that long [19:46] It became 1 am too soon. And in a fit od stupidity I then decided that it was not worth sleeping anyway. [19:46] heh [19:46] oy [19:47] can you sleep in tomorrow, hik ? [19:47] or today [19:47] Hopefully. [19:47] there's that at least [19:48] * TehFiat nods. Sleeping in good. [19:48] * GoldenH shouldn't be sleepy. all he did was wake up at noon and watch a movie. [19:49] Zatoichi: that blind dude is a pretty good movie, too [19:49] Most of the Zatoichi movies are. [19:49] * Hikari has only seen a few, though. [19:49] Hey Fiat...can I give Ressar a reverse-blade katana ? [19:49] * DarthTom ducks [19:50] ... No. [19:50] Well, unless you want to be chased by more doom than the rest of the players combined. [19:50] * Jydan ponders giving Kuniko a pimple in the middle of her castemark. :p [19:50] * TehFiat dug the Zatoichi movies. [19:50] heh [19:51] a pimple ??? [19:51] I'm bored, okay? [19:51] but... but... ? [19:51] And doom is hard to come up for Kuniko! [19:51] Vampire Zits have been known to last for Eons..... [19:52] just imagine how bad Solar Zits must be.... [19:52] that's only because you're too soft hearted :p [19:52] Yeah... That and Kuniko is really cute. :) [19:53] lol [19:53] yaaay [19:53] * GoldenH does the almost everyone is here dance [19:53] * Jydan sighs. Who is it that's making the Abyssal game? [19:53] * GoldenH falls asleep on the keyboard [19:53] hey werlynn [19:53] i don't think anyone's making an abyssal game [19:54] * Werlynn had mentioned he was pondering the notion [19:54] yet [19:54] oh, really ? [19:54] :) [19:54] cool ! [19:54] I'm interested. Abyssal came today. [19:54] * GoldenH has it now. it's just a matter of finding time to read through it sometime in the next millenia [19:55] * TehFiat 's looking at it. My main problem is my inherent dislike for a variety of the charms and needing to know if the Solar equivalents are allowed. [19:55] eh, you bought it? [19:55] Not yet. [19:55] i'll be interrested as soon as i read it [19:55] * TehFiat went down to the game store and read the mechanics. [19:55] ah [19:55] I was not pleased with many of them. [19:55] Especially artifact and liege. [19:55] * GoldenH nods [19:56] What is Liege about? [19:56] Liege: Background that gives you bonus points. [19:56] It gives you extra bonus points. [19:56] basically, in exchange for the ST bringing doom onto you in particular. [19:56] More than what you put in it. [19:56] Ah. [19:56] basically the ST makes you his bitch [19:56] you HAVE to buy the pizza [19:56] you HAVE to bring the pop [19:57] * TehFiat shrugs. It's nothing. It's a ramping up of free bonus points. [19:57] if you don't.. well... [19:57] That's all it is. Free bonus points. [19:57] * GoldenH shrugs. I'd give people free bonus points if they bought me a pizza. [19:58] Artifact, eh, it's the amount. [19:58] 2 level 5s and a level 3 at chargen is frightening. [19:58] * GoldenH shrugs. [19:58] you don't necessarily start with 'em. [19:58] No, and you don't necessarily start out with anything. [19:59] From the pure mechanics, barring STference, it's pathetic the amount of stuff you get. [19:59] * GoldenH chuckles. [19:59] I'm actually editing some of the stuff in here for a game if I run it. [20:00] Any time a mechanic relies on an ST to keep things working well, it's a badly written mechanic. [20:00] From what I've been able to tell of the book in my sitting down with it, it is the twink book of doom. [20:01] * Jydan would actually allow a Sorcery Background for Solars. He would require a REASON why, but he would allow it. Basically because he loves Sorcerers. :) [20:02] * TehFiat tries not to use anything himself he wouldn't allow a player in his own game to use, and there's little there I would allow players in my game to use at those rates. [20:02] The higher your liege the shorter and tighter your leash is. Its not bonus points for nothing [20:02] unless the ST ignores it [20:02] * GoldenH shrugs. [20:02] I would make a mechanic. [20:02] Again, any mechanic that relies on the ST to do something is crap. [20:03] * GoldenH would say, roll your leige. If it comes up a success, basically, you're fucked. [20:03] fucked? [20:03] "Hey, make it possible to have a million soak. No ST will actually allow it." is a bad mechanic. [20:03] So is Liege. [20:03] drained of essence, wp, health levels, and no downtime. [20:04] thats really retarded [20:04] and I get to chose what to spend XP on [20:04] I kinda agree with GH. [20:04] Liege is a "Bitch, get over here, no i don't give a fuck if you want to go hunt down your solar nemesis. You go do this." [20:04] * GoldenH basically sees that as what happens if you have leige. [20:04] they do that anyhow. [20:04] you don't need leige for that. [20:05] read the background [20:05] * GoldenH shrugs [20:05] Liege determines how much they do that [20:05] Liege determines how much they do that. [20:05] But it doesn't mean that if they don't take Liege, it won't happen. [20:06] basically if you have 5 leige... the char is pretty much unplayable. [20:06] There should be no mechanic that results in an unplayable character at chargen. [20:06] Liege does it fairly well. [20:07] There is no rule mechanic for liege [20:07] Hence why it's a fucking stupid waste of space. [20:07] nothing that says "roll dice" like GH said [20:07] "Look! Bonus points! And the ST may or may not do something!" [20:07] * GoldenH of course is adding the "roll dice" thing. [20:07] If the ST doesn't do anything about it shame on you [20:07] :) [20:08] the roll dice thing is gay [20:08] * GoldenH likes rolling dice. [20:08] extraordinarily so [20:08] * TehFiat finds the way the dice worked to be bad. The dice themselves not so much. [20:08] its lazy too [20:08] After all, you roll dice for limit, yes? [20:08] you do ? [20:08] less lazy, more improvision [20:09] I figure, each time you try to act against your Deathlord, for each point of Liege you have, you roll a die for it. If it succeeds, you can't do what you want to. [20:09] Yes, you do, Ete. [20:09] Jydan doesn't, for whatever reason I've forgotten. [20:10] * GoldenH shrugs. [20:10] But when Limit conditions are met, ordinarily you roll dice. [20:10] you can always go against your deathlord. [20:10] I don't like Virtue Flaws. [20:10] That's why. [20:10] The question is...... do you want to? :) [20:10] If you are going to do something with Liege as a game mechanic, make it something like "if you have 1 point of liege, you can't have 3 points of command because your lord doesn't give a shit about you and isn't going to give you control of that many troops" [20:10] nah, that just encourages people to take leige. [20:10] * TehFiat 's question: Why is Liege even there? [20:10] Liege isn't magical mind control [20:11] It's not. [20:11] GH: fine they take lots of liege. The leash is tighter and shorter [20:11] Its supposed to be the penalty for being Abyssal [20:11] they are not free [20:11] I thought Resonance was. [20:11] * GoldenH doesn't see how commanding legions and legions of troops means you have to have a short leash [20:11] I'm saying, that Liege is like a Virtue. A Virtue for Loyalty to Your Deathlord. [20:11] There are lots of penalties [20:11] Then why do you especially need Liege as one? [20:11] obviously, i'll have to read through the whole book before I decide. [20:12] * GoldenH might find something really interesting. [20:12] Jydan but you can have Liege 5 and turn around and say fuck you deathlord w/o rolling dice. then he sends all his resources to hunt you down and drag you home so he can torture you for a hundred years then kill you and put your essence in somebody else [20:12] Yep! [20:13] That's what happens when you fail the roll! [20:13] there's no dice mechanic for liege [20:13] Double edged sword. :) [20:13] there is no dice mechanic for Liege. [20:13] a good ST doesn't need to invent a dice mechanic for a RP background [20:13] * GoldenH shrugs. [20:13] I know. But I'm not a good ST. :) [20:13] they just RP it [20:13] It is NOT an RP background. [20:13] It is [20:14] It is a background with immediate effects on the character. [20:14] Immediate and future [20:14] It is a mechanical background with mechanical effects. [20:14] It has RP effects too [20:14] It is not "You knew this guy once." It is Hey, double your BP. [20:14] I roll dice for contacts, etc, because often I don't really care if there is a contact or not, and I am not going to sit around and wonder for hours, because I can make it work both ways. [20:15] Honestly? I don't like that effect that I came up with. I like something similiar, but not without dice. [20:15] Your liege score is going to affect your deathlord's response when you ask him for resources (troops/money/misc) to put towards doing something [20:15] or how hard it will be to convince him [20:15] if you have a liege of 5 you have his full support [20:15] * GoldenH shrugs. [20:16] because you are his favorite toy [20:16] But it's also got to have an adverse effect. RPed. [20:16] Yeah [20:16] If it's RP, then leave it ALL RP. [20:16] you fuck up, you get in trouble [20:16] Yeah. [20:16] If it's mechanical, leave it mechanical. [20:16] Also, something like Whispers. [20:16] You spend more time doing his orders [20:17] If you have Liege of 1 he doesn't give a shit what you do, but he's not going to help you out [20:17] nah. [20:17] And... you get bonus points. [20:17] * GoldenH doesn't believe the Deathlords are like that. [20:17] YEs [20:17] you do get bonus points [20:17] Hey! Character background! [20:17] Let's throw around free bonus points for something that's there anyway! [20:18] to compensate for your character being his deathlord's chewtoy [20:18] Not at liege one where you get free BP. [20:18] Did you read what you are allowed to spend the points on? [20:18] A BP spent there is a BP not spent elsewhere. [20:18] Hmmm.... [20:18] Interesting. [20:18] * GoldenH shrugs. [20:18] It's just as bad as generation. [20:18] Fiat: I say again - Liege represents how much your deathlord directly commands you [20:18] I mean, breeding. [20:19] If you're taking those backgrounds anyway, you can use unrestricted BP for other things. [20:19] ooh look more essence! [20:19] Ergo, free BP. [20:19] * GoldenH sees leige as a breeding type thing in more than one way. [20:19] Yes, it does. But there is no reason NOT TO TAKE LIEGE. [20:19] I like Breeding. Makes damn more sense. [20:19] The background points you are given represent the support you recieve for being your Deathlord's favorite pet [20:19] Breeding 3 is pretty much mandatory. [20:19] One liege gets you free bonus points. [20:20] fiat, you should take at least 3 leige. [20:20] And as you said, voila, he doesn't care about you. [20:20] think of it this way: abyssals genereally have more base bp. [20:20] by taking less of this background, you are "buying" freedom with bp. [20:20] Fiat: If you don't take liege it means you have the support of no deathlord. You are still tied to one, but he will offer you no support, and may be hunting you down [20:21] You are a lonely rogue abyssal [20:21] * TehFiat nods. Yes, Werlynn. Which means for the free bonus points there is no reason not to take it. [20:21] who still has to deal with resonance, and the penalites for being in creation [20:21] Essentially, it's a mechanic that was thrown in there for no real reason, that isn't written well, and is nigh mandatory. [20:22] If you have Liege 5 it means your Deathlord's enemies will hate you almost as much [20:23] if not as much [20:23] * GoldenH shrugs. breeding. hearts blood? [20:23] if you have Liege 1 they might not know you exist [20:23] Renoun? [20:23] Hearts blood is gainable through gameplay. [20:23] Renown is gainable through gameplaty. [20:24] Breeding is not, but is less mandatory. a couple of motes is not comparable. [20:25] sure it is. [20:25] How easy is it to complete a task far away in creation if your deathlord wants you to return to him each week with a progress report? [20:26] * GoldenH thinks spending 4 bp for 15 motes is a pretty nice deal. [20:26] Comparable only in mechanics. Usefulness, on opposite ends of the spectrum. [20:26] Beyond which, 4 Bp for 15 motes drags you up to celestial level, which, guess what, Abyssals already are. [20:27] It's a balancing effect to make DBs slightly more comparable to the other Exalts in the setting. [20:28] If you have liege 4 your deathlord takes great interest in everything you do. He's probably spying on you all the time and he makes you return home to report on your activities very regularly, plus surprise trips, but will expect you to achieve the same results as if you didn't take out the time to do it [20:28] And will punish you harsher for failure [20:28] And the Liege, Artifact, and Necromancy backgrounds are a way of reflecting the fact that the Abyssals have mentors that know the same charms you want to learn. [20:28] * TehFiat shrugs. ONLY if the ST enforces that and only if that's actually a problem in the game. [20:29] If the ST doesn't enforce it shame [20:29] Any mechanic that revolves around the ST being forced to do certain things to balance for the mechanic is not a good mechanic. [20:29] Then Mentor? [20:29] brb. Will go brush my teeth so that I can go to bed as soon as tonights game is over. [20:29] At least Solar Mentor. [20:29] Mentor is a far more RP mechanic. [20:29] It doesn't give you swaut at chargen. [20:30] It does absofragginglutely nothing, it is not the "Must buy now!" mechanic. [20:30] generally, mentor= suck background. [20:31] If the ST makes it a suck backgroun [20:31] d [20:31] * Romulus (~bjorndaba@adsl-63-202-88-81.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net) has joined #pvpexalted [20:31] hey [20:31] * GoldenH chuckles' [20:31] It's like Contacts or Connections [20:31] I know, i'm a bad person. [20:31] Artifact, Liege, and Necromancy are overpowered for cost. [20:31] Yah. [20:31] Although, I like Necromancy. [20:32] hey Romulus [20:32] Then artifact is overpowered for DBs [20:32] if its overpowered for Abyssals [20:32] Dbs are shit without artifacts. [20:32] Artifacts is a better background for Abyssals and they are already more powerful. [20:32] * Jydan will give Solars, DBs, Lunars, and every other Exalt Sorcery backgrounds. [20:32] Ladies, Gentlemen. I think i'm going to sleep now. [20:32] Night, Ete. [20:32] G'night, Ete. [20:32] g'night [20:32] If they can explain why they have it. [20:32] But the reason for Abyssals having the extra artifacts is well justified, as it is for DBs [20:32] they should have library background for having books to learn sorcery at least ;à [20:33] 'night ete [20:33] don't Abyssals got an even better artifact background than the DB ? [20:33] yea [20:33] yes [20:33] If they don't have a manse with magical archives, or the Bo3C, I'd be rather reluctant to let them have it. [20:33] Yeah. [20:33] Makes sense too. [20:33] they have even better resources [20:33] Yep. And they're more powerful. [20:33] I can't understand that [20:33] They have a Deathlord who is far more powerful [20:33] Than the entire fucking Realm? [20:34] Give me a BREAK. [20:34] can there be that many artifacts around ? [20:34] Yes [20:34] The Realm is decadent but it's still the greatest power on the Creation. [20:34] The mightiest DB sorcerer/crafter is no match for a deathlord [20:34] * TehFiat shrugs. That's bullshit. "Hey... my mentor happens to be more powerufl than 50% of the entire world. And there's 20 of us." [20:34] They're manufactured by the Deathlords. [20:34] Or the Abyssals would already have won. [20:34] that's what mentors are. [20:35] Etrangere i take it you don't have the book? [20:35] basically, your mentor can beat up you, and the entire party. [20:35] Deathlords have the time to manufacture artifacts from Abyssal ? [20:35] not yet, no :) [20:35] No essence makes Abyssals tougher to survive in creation [20:35] i know that [20:35] * TehFiat shrugs. Whee! Find yourself a freaking manse, dual Soulmirror ielding boy. [20:35] Do you want to commit it all to artifacts knowing you can't get it back w/o wiping out half a village? [20:35] Go take a village and drag some slaves around to drain blood from after a fight. [20:36] Manses aren't that commomn [20:36] It's easy to work around, you get hellacious power for it, and it's not even special. [20:36] Hell, go ping up some resonance, chuck out a shadowland. [20:36] * GoldenH shrugs [20:37] so go back to a shadowland. [20:37] A single mortal (ie: extra) has 4 motes/HLs. [20:37] fiat, you won't ever make a shadowland unless you roll 10 10s. [20:37] Shadowlands aren't common eithere [20:37] or something [20:37] * TehFiat shrugs. It's the king of all twink books. [20:37] 10 resonance and you can make a shadowland for Essence Years. [20:37] Ten resonance is pretty simple to get if you want it. [20:37] Just be a very nice Abyssal, and you have a lot of Essence. [20:37] Jydan what are the odds of rolling 10 successes on 2-4 dice? [20:37] And boom! essence regeneration! [20:38] Back. [20:38] wb [20:38] But making a shadowland is very very difficult. You'd need Essence 5 just to have a shot at it [20:38] with just resonance [20:38] and that would require all 10s [20:39] * GoldenH says, just make a game. after they've played it a while, they will give in. :)_ [20:39] * TehFiat 's not impressed. I can easily work around all that with... 2 BP. [20:39] Hey! Check it out! Liege! Free BP! [20:39] Ooooo..... Doom for Tatya..... [20:39] * Jydan like! [20:40] Well, actually doom for Dem-Dem. [20:40] :) [20:40] * TehFiat shrugs. Silly GH. [20:40] That assumes you actually would use the rules in the book. [20:40] * TehFiat won't. I despise them. [20:40] Hence why I haven't bought it yet. [20:40] go, do your despising thing. [20:41] * GoldenH is not impressed that the munchiness of the game will make it bad. [20:41] * TehFiat shrugs. Look what happened to RIFTS. [20:41] eh. If they hadn't made exalted, i'd still be dabbling in it. [20:42] Same deal. When you open up the system for exploitation, it will be exploited. When you open up the system for one abuse, it sets the precedent for more. [20:42] and... abuse is bad? [20:43] Abuse by the nature of what it IS is bad. [20:43] * GoldenH is not convinced that giving abyssals the same amount of bonus points as DBs is a bad thing. [20:43] They have the same amount of bonus points. [20:43] With better backgrounds. [20:44] And more power without the backgrounds. [20:44] indeed. [20:44] It's the combination that causes the problem. [20:44] * GoldenH shrugs. [20:44] Abyssals don't NEED all that stuff to be effective. [20:44] Doesn't Hawke rule an entire galaxy? [20:44] Yet it's given. [20:44] * TehFiat counts. [20:44] Not nearly so much. [20:44] * TehFiat also notes his opponents are twice as bad. [20:45] And that's where the Abyssal problem lies. [20:45] * GoldenH points at the deathlords, lunars, host of the dragon blooded, etc [20:45] * Thanos (~web-Guest@ip68-108-129-116.lv.lv.cox.net) has joined #pvpexalted [20:45] A Solar is no longer capable of going one on one with an Abyssal. [20:45] sure they are. [20:45] * TehFiat hadn't really gotten the impression that that was the idea all along. [20:46] the point is XP [20:46] * TehFiat shrugs. Equivalent XP, Abyssal wins. [20:46] exactly. [20:46] * TehFiat had always thought, you know, Solars and Abyssals were even. Apparently not. [20:47] And if they're supposed to be? You've got to bump up the Solars. Well, where does that leave everyone else? Bump them up. [20:47] nah [20:47] Solar's don't need to be even with everyone [20:47] Abyssals were made by the deathlords to destroy [20:47] they don't even really need to be the most powerful [20:47] Solars will win. [20:47] I would take a Solar ;-) [20:47] they were made to be good at it [20:47] But I LOVE the art in and on the book! [20:47] * TehFiat shrugs. [20:47] Solars were made to protect creation [20:47] Solars beat Abyssals, fae, demons, etc. [20:48] Did you read the Abyssal versions of the parry charms? [20:48] melee only [20:48] no parryingmissles [20:48] WIth No artifacts or HS involved a Solar will beat an Abyssal ;-) [20:48] Abyssals simply cannot beat the solars. [20:48] Abyssal's didn't exist until recently anyways [20:48] So apparently, against all odds, defense loses this time. [20:48] how can defense loose? [20:48] Defense wins... abyssals just don't have any =)_ [20:48] * TehFiat shrugs. Do they need any? [20:49] yes. [20:49] Artifact 5. [20:49] if you win init, they do [20:49] there's more solars than abyssals [20:49] * TehFiat can now parry missles. Yay. [20:49] Specifically says close range or hand-to-hand [20:49] artifact 5. [20:49] you can't parry these missiles. [20:49] * TehFiat has two level 5s. and a three. [20:49] To your one. [20:49] one level 5, bah. [20:50] * GoldenH is not impressed,. [20:50] Solars win against abyssals when you're dealing with the skewed plane of a Solar game. [20:50] Or just have a lv3HS ;-) [20:50] wow you have two level 5 artifacts! [20:50] gasp [20:50] * GoldenH shakes in fear! [20:50] * TehFiat shrugs. And power equivalent to yours with a nice boost. [20:50] Abysals can get up to 13 levels anyway they want them ;-) [20:50] 13 levels, although I think a level 13 artifact is a bit wrong. [20:51] * TehFiat 's not quite sure what you'd call that. "I win.", maybe? [20:51] It specificly says 1-5, does not include N/A arfiticts ;-P [20:51] * TehFiat knows. [20:51] AH..... [20:51] Hence the two level 5s and a three. [20:51] * TehFiat was joking about level 13 artifact. [20:51] I was rather unhappy with the people at WW site that said it was any way you wanted it including N/A :-P [20:51] Although, who knows. [20:52] Maybe in the Sidereal book they'll up the artifact scale to ten. [20:52] Heh.... the Labrynth is a lv13 artifact ;-) [20:52] It'd only be in keeping with the way things are going. [20:52] Artifact 5 huh? Deathlord says "ooo....i like it....thanks." [20:52] * TehFiat shrugs. Out of mechanical consideration. [20:52] The deathlord made it. [20:52] The deathlord happened to give it to you. [20:53] Or maybe you didn't notice that's the explanation given in the book? [20:53] Deathlord's not gonna give a new unproven abyssal a level 5 artifact. [20:53] And if he likes you enough to give it to you, he controls you tightly enough to tell you how you can and can't use it [20:53] ok enough whining about abyssals. [20:53] He's not? Mosey on down to the chargen and prove it. [20:53] * GoldenH is now known as Storyteller [20:53] 'night [20:53] cya [20:53] (for real this time) [20:53] Starting character, easy to get the level 5. [20:53] Good night, Ete.

Can Kiyyoko do stuff with Kaya? [21:26] * Jynaru blinks. [21:26] Why are you asking me now? [21:26] Because it just occured to me. [21:26] While Kaya's gone? [21:26] I mean, the curse. [21:26] Oh, that. [21:27] * Jynaru shrugs. Not going to be a problem for much longer.

[21:50] +31 officers [21:50] Thats a LOT of officiers [21:50] Yah [21:50] Thats an officer per 4 troops.... [21:50] Was thinking more like 6 officers. [21:51] fang = 1 officer each [21:51] 1 2nd LT for each 25 [21:51] scale = 1 officer each [21:51] talon = 1 officer each. [21:51] WOW! [21:51] so tha tmakes...6 officers [21:51] a fang would b eunder the command of a sargeant [21:51] So Kiyyoko killed.... 1750 men and about 14 officers.....

Bring it, boyo. [22:28] You don't have my address [22:28] and he can TRY [22:28] Besides, I don't have a sister. [22:28] Unless he means your sister, Jydan.

[22:35] Somehow. :) [22:36] err [22:36] Canadian, rather than mnemon [22:36] Do you want directions to her house and directions to a tree that you can see her bedroom and shower from? [22:37] naw [22:39] AFK for about 10 while I eat. [22:39] Hrmmm... [22:39] Can't you just take pictures for me? [22:42] It's hard to get into the tree. [22:42] * Jynaru sighs. [22:42] How about I just get her drunk and work it like that? [22:42] That should work. [22:48] * Thanos (~web-Guest@ip68-108-129-116.lv.lv.cox.net) Quit (Client exited) [22:53] sorry for the slowness, for those who are just waiting around.

[23:01] * Manxcat is now known as Nika [23:01] Was the reply to Yuri usable? [23:01] haven't seen it yet :) [23:01] yeah, I got the letter [23:02] * Storyteller is now known as Mnemon [23:02] then you know. [23:03] I know what I was told [23:04] speaking of not telling her about the Anathema........temperance 4 Abe Lincoln once said..... [23:04] that's all you ned to know. [23:04] * Jynaru 's going to tell her as little as possible of the problematic details. [23:05] wow, that advice actually does help, Hikari! [23:05] * Kenshiro grins at Jyn/Fiat/Hawke [23:05] * Mnemon is now known as Storyteller [23:06] * Jynaru shrugs. Don't be grinnin at me. [23:06] I've still got two questions of my own to type up. [23:07] * Cicada is a genius in all matters pertaining human relationships. So what did you expect? ;) [23:07] in that case, I guess it counts double in Realian/human relationships ;) [23:10] and what'st he biggest size a avatar can be for the Abyssal forum? [23:10] It says right below the Image linky thingie. [23:11] * Jydan uses only the latest technical terms when doing tech support. [23:11] duh, thanks [23:11] Hey, if you've got Cartoon Network, .hack//SIGN is on. [23:12] * Kenshiro doesn't :P [23:12] * Jynaru couldn't really find a good demetri pic, so the Hawke portait will have to do. [23:13] in that case... ;) [23:14] ALMOST went with this animated gif I found that fit the size, but I'll do random women of the moment later. [23:17] BIG FAT LIE, LADY ! [23:18] Also known as "Do not taunt happy fun crazies." [23:18] Who? Me? [23:18] * Cicada would never lie or tease. :) [23:19] no, one of Van's men is on the ship [23:19] * Tala has watched several episodes of .hack//sign. It seems kinda boring [23:19] It takes time to get going. [23:19] It's a very slow anime. [23:20] As a game, it's not QUITE so bad, but there's a lot of drifting. [23:20] * Tala wants to smack Sukasa around and tell him to stop being a little bitch. [23:21] so...should I go with the bad-ass signature or romantic signature? ;) [23:21] And there the "if it's all a MMORPG, and all these aberritions in the program are occuring, reboot" issue i can't get past [23:21] Suspension of disbelief. [23:22] Oooo... Gundum 0080.. [23:23] heh [23:23] Bernie = hamburger [23:23] ... Screw it. [23:23] We've just entered the Twilight Zone. [23:24] Twilight Zone? [23:24] How? [23:24] Twilight Zone. [23:24] Where? [23:25] In the game? [23:26] Yep. [23:29] okay, she's the real deal [23:29] Except Bloom has entrenched himself further. [23:30] true [23:30] * Jynaru 's pretty damn confused about Benthy. [23:30] Has Maris expressed his desire to stay behind ? [23:30] I sorta shot him 2X dead last time I checked... [23:31] * Jynaru 's not sure whether to be relieved or not no Tepet Kylara madness. [23:31] that comes later. [23:32] Ah. She survived, then? [23:32] ha, she said multiple Anathema, i only said one. She's lying! Kill her! She's working for Bloom! ;) [23:32] who knows. [23:33] Oh damn, that's so familiar. [23:33] she's our ticket off, right now, I don't car eif she's working for Mask of Winters [23:33] It's annoying Anathema is the same plural and singular. [23:34] What is that from? [23:46] I think i missed how Shak ended up in a sword [23:47] * Yuri (corwin006@1Cust9.tnt3.evansville.in.da.uu.net) has joined #pvpexalted [23:47] * Kenshiro (corwin006@65.230.154.215) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Yuri))) [23:48] Tala :She was gonna die from some infernal toxin [23:48] so the good solars offered her a chance to 'live' [23:48] she chose to be put in Van's sword [23:48] Ack! 'ello, Nemesis sorta-mine. [23:48] and since then, Van's been nosing around, trying to find a way to bring her back [23:50] bleh...can't post in Abyssal forum, hmm [23:52] * Thanos (~web-Guest@ip68-108-129-116.lv.lv.cox.net) has joined #pvpexalted [23:52] (*Tabs is bringing his concubine, kid, and what he has on himself.*) [23:52] Ok [23:54] what ? no KOing minnow and dragging him with us ? [23:54] * Jynaru shrugs. Wasn't husband supposed to come with? [23:55] Or was the point of the "I'll heal your addiction if you keep the Wyld Hunt off him" deal just to have a deal? [23:56] (*Oh and the big Red Jade Diaklave ;-) *) [23:56] (We're bringing our looted daiklaives with us, I hope ?) [23:57] (Sigh. I so wanted to put the big evil glowy sword of doom over my mantle.) [23:57] But yeah, loot comes with, I suppose. [23:57] * Jynaru 's keeping his pirate hat from the ghost ship, for example. [23:57] i thought Sidereals weren't Anathema [23:57] in this game [23:58] You don't want the evil green glowy sword....! [23:58] Sidereals are Anathema on the Isle of Twilight Tears, not in the Realm. [23:58] are you getting the evil version of the Green Destiny? ;) [23:58] They would be in the realm of people knew what they realy were ;-) [23:58] * Jynaru shrugs. [23:58] So why aren't we brining him with us [23:58] ? [23:58] I dunno. [23:59] I mainly remember it wanting o make you kill people. [23:59] Cause Minnow took it ;-) [00:00] * Jynaru sighs. Doh! Stupid dragon-thing has my souvenier! [00:00] Yeah, try taking it back from him, I DARE YOU! [00:01] Hrmmm.... [00:01] * Jynaru doesn't have time, sadly. [00:01] So why aren't Sanyet with us if he will die staying here? [00:01] because he's an obstinate ass [00:02] * Jynaru shrugs. Because it's not really worth me thwacking him over the hed like a caveman? [00:02] For the drama? [00:02] Sanyet is happy on the island. [00:02] Just grab him and lets go :) [00:02] Van can reach right over and hual him on [00:02] If they stay, they will both live a happy life till the end of their days. [00:03] which will be when ? [00:03] a year from now ? [00:04] until cic dies. [00:04] * Jynaru considers... [00:04] of old age :) [00:04] Stupid timing issues. [00:04] Won't they live just as long if he comes w/ us? [00:04] * Jynaru could easily drag him up and hand him off to the Bronze... but that's not a great idea. [00:05] ahhhh, private chat :) [00:05] * Jynaru chuckles. [00:06] you've all sealed your fates :) [00:07] No shit...... ;-) [00:07] * Jynaru shrugs. If this game has proven anything, it's that fate is annoyingly fickle at times. [00:08] argh! does anyone have any free space for EC avatar in a website? [00:08] maybe. [00:08] i rolled more sucs than i have dice. I see things that aren't even there! [00:08] * Jynaru shunted all 2K of his off to GH and it worked then. [00:08] how big is it? [00:08] oh wait that would be a botch, wouldn't it ;) [00:08] Fickle or decided directed, IMHO [00:08] true, true. [00:08] 7K [00:09] prune it down please, ken :) [00:09] 4k [00:09] bleh, ok :P [00:09] * Storyteller 's is only 2k [00:11] never mind, anything lower than 4k and it loses a lot, thanks tho [00:11] eh, send it. [00:11] * Storyteller will look [00:12] nah, it's ok, I'll keep looking for a better site and if not, I'll send it [00:19] 4 essence hugh? I thought for sure it would beat 3 sucs and make the damage bashing [00:19] I have been running around with the 'fetus Arianna warns Cic of danger to Sanyet' stunt for weeks! [00:20] ;) [00:20] lol [00:20] I am just wondering if ANY tenticles will be left for Tabius to do something against. [00:20] * Storyteller shrugs. [00:20] Fallen Tounge himself has essence 9+ [00:20] guess not..... [00:20] sorry thanos [00:21] Heh.... seems to remember why there is a reason he stunts so few times. [00:21] ;-) [00:21] LoL [00:21] Shame the tenticles didn't botch. 18 auto successes of Agg damage is something i hope to see (vs something not me) some day [00:21] hmmm yes. [00:22] * Thanos in the Cloud comes swooping down out of the heavens a blur of movement against the cloudly sky. The only distringuishing thing about it is the three foot section of shiny glass that seems to be held out side of the cloud. [00:22] * Thanos is on an almost colision course with one of the tenticles and passes right next to it cleaving a slice into it from which spews forth black icker. [00:23] doom! [00:23] well that was going to be the stunt ;-) [00:23] * Jynaru sighs. [00:23] Bugger. [00:23] The island gets the ship of important NPCs before I do. [00:28] * Storyteller could have said "just don't botch...." [00:28] Who rolls the stealth + WIts?> [00:28] everyone [00:29] ...you JUST SAID IT ! [00:29] is it important ;-) [00:29] and I *botched* ! [00:29] you *ASS* ! [00:29] :) [00:30] Hey Vanal..... look at us heavy handed Cathek boys botching ;-) [00:30] but I did spend a WP ;-) [00:31] * Jynaru shrugs. Doomination. [00:37] okay, um...who's nika, and who's Romulus ? [00:38] player-wise [00:38] * Nika is manxcat [00:38] and Rommie ? [00:38] Maris' replacement, I'd assume. [00:40] now would be a good time for dragon-lady to light tongue up like a christmas tree [00:41] inded. [00:42] * L_Jynaru (Fiat@dialup-67.30.192.134.Dial1.Atlanta1.Level3.net) has joined #pvpexalted [00:42] .haB Stupid disc. [00:43] [01:40] "Who else was with you?" [00:43] [01:40] "I know. Yet I had no choice." [00:43] [01:41] * Disconnected [00:43] Miss anything? [00:43] * Tabius is hiding just out of site, ready to run into action to defend Cicada. [00:43] "My entire circle rom the first landing. My husband. And some of the children of my allies." [00:43] The rest of you are all downstairs.. in the otherwise normal laberinth of the ship, made stranger by the dozens of cuts and scrapes in the sides of the ship. [00:43] She smiles sadly and nods once. [00:43] "Will you all come back with me?" [00:43] "I want to. But forgive us. We cannot." [00:43] "And I cannot allow you and your friends to leave." [00:43] * Tabius draws his Adamant Blade as well. [00:44] * Jynaru (Fiat@dialup-67.30.192.173.Dial1.Atlanta1.Level3.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [00:44] * L_Jynaru is now known as Jynaru [00:45] Are the Firesharks spirits? [00:45] yes [00:45] ........ [00:46] Fireshark go nowhere [00:46] :) [00:46] Fireshark go boom? [00:47] Haven't we heard this before? [00:47] Something about "Got to kill all the Malkor's Guard people or the evil might awaken!" [00:47] ? [00:47] Dem-Dem, what XP do you have? [00:48] !roll 1d50 [00:48] Jydan : 1d50, 34 , Total: 34 [00:48] Ghost-Restraining Whirlpool baby. [00:48] * Jynaru shrugs. You need an exact number, Jydan? [00:48] A close approximation. Within the 10s. [00:49] Because I don't have one because of the flaws and such I couldn't account for with the thingie. [00:49] Ahhh. [00:49] * Jynaru considers. maybe 130? I've got a teeny bit more than Ark. [00:49] * Jydan adds it all up in a diary entry for Kiyyoko. [00:49] Arkie says he has 192... [00:49] He's got 192? [00:49] Trippy. [00:49] * Jynaru looks at the 230. [00:50] I shouldn't have THAT much more. [00:50] AH! [00:50] The Essence! [00:50] That's where the cost is. [00:50] Maya has 155 XP as of last update [00:50] it's probably higher now [00:50] * Jydan nods. [00:51] how close is the spirit to me? [00:51] * Jynaru hasn't updated in a long long time. [00:51] I have 168 XP and that's a high number on my sheet. [00:52] probably 30' or so [00:52] it's like.. [00:52] Leveling people off, Jydan? [00:52] LOL [00:52] flying over the ocean. [00:52] it's pretty far away. [00:52] Fiat, if you'll check Kiyyoko's diary entries, you'll see XP Use. That's where I track my actual costs. [00:52] No, I'm catching up Cerryl. [00:52] Ah. [00:52] yay! 40 yard radius [00:52] * Jynaru chuckles. This doesn't even have the Demon of the Second Circle on it. [00:53] tezmonster ? [00:54] Teimonster. [00:54] cookie monster? please let it be cookie monster [00:56] * Thanos (~web-Guest@ip68-108-129-116.lv.lv.cox.net) Quit (Client exited) [00:57] * Jydan is pondering buying the last dot of Occult. [00:57] oooo.. it has got a hostage. [00:58] Anyway, Fiat? You said Monday for all the things to be totaled up? [00:58] Monday sounds about right.

[00:59] in that case, Maya has 210 XP! [00:59] oh... almost a year. [00:59] nuts [00:59] Quite you! [00:59] ..... [00:59] I can't spell quiet anymore..... [01:00] I think I'm going to cry....

[01:00] ugh [01:01] * Storyteller will stop after this turn [01:01] i'm just surprised [01:01] nobody mentioned to me [01:02] Fiat, Kaya is a 2 or 3 dot Ally? [01:02] * Jynaru considers. Count it as two. [01:02] it's DST? [01:02] It's only 1 am here. [01:03] * Bog_Mod (Bog@h24-80-214-33.gv.shawcable.net) has joined #pvpexalted [01:03] She's not a follower, because Followers says "Followers should not be Exalts!" [01:03] nyarr [01:03] BOG! [01:03] * Jydan slaps the Bog_Mod around a bit with a large and very hard book! [01:03] Followers should not, not may not if the St says it's ok :) [01:03] * Bog_Mod got all capitals, and is happy. Why the slap? [01:03] How many XP does Ark have! [01:03] True. This is now sunday. [01:03] * Jynaru notes that yes, the time scales back. [01:03] NOW! Or I shall smack you again! [01:03] * Yuri waves at Mod [01:03] :) [01:03] one sec [01:03] is getting out sheet [01:04] Jellies! [01:04] 192 [01:04] * Jydan will not accept 192! That's a whole bunch! [01:04] all spent [01:04] ahh. [01:04] * Jynaru shrugs. Jydan, man, I got 230 totalled out. [01:04] Ahhh. [01:04] Okay. [01:04] how did you get that much more then me? [01:05] No flaws. [01:05] Whores and gamblin'. [01:05] * Jynaru had to pay an extended rate for some things to make the character legal. [01:05] * Storyteller slaps Jynaru around a bit with a large trout [01:05] ? [01:05] Abyssal! ---> http://www.gamegen.com/fightgen/characters/asra.html [01:06] Kiyyoko! But a red head~! http://www.gamegen.com/fightgen/characters/alice.html [01:06] well, I'm sticking with my pick of Yuri, Sabor and Maya [01:06] don't fix them if they ain't broken :) [01:06] extended rate Fiat? [01:07] I didn't get BP. [01:07] Including flaws, ETC. [01:07] Because there were no flaws. [01:07] So I had to buy it with XP which is more expensive. [01:07] that's why I seem so skyrocketed ahead. [01:07] ah yes [01:07] that would do it [01:07] That's why Kiyyoko has 83 XP spent when she's only spent..... [01:08] Oh yeah. That committed 27 XP is hitting it up higher than it should be. :p [01:08] * Bog_Mod has been happily reading the Abyssal charms.... [01:08] Amusingly, I'm EXACTLY at 230. [01:08] Has been happily reading the Abyssal history ;-) [01:09] Out of all my spent and committed XP, I have 7 to spend. [01:09] SEVEN. [01:09] * Jynaru considers... And a little XP not commited, I think. The last game. [01:09] And trying to figure out which Deathlord(s) to have a character serve ;-) [01:09] * Bog_Mod has read to the end of presence charms. [01:09] * Jynaru can afford a charm! Woo! [01:09] I have 110 XP for Fiat's game, and have spent and committed 103. [01:10] * Jydan sighs. He wants to raise Str 1 point, but it's too much. [01:10] * Bog_Mod must be getting left behind in xp somehow...Situro has 97 [01:10] Well, I've gotten 7 extra XP for doing cool stuff. [01:10] that would do it [01:11] Marriage rituals - 2 xp, Loggie - 5 xp. [01:11] brb [01:11] Story - XP? [01:11] * Jydan has been meaning to whack someone over the head for that. :) [01:12] THAT is how you utterly CRUSH an enemy [01:12] * Storyteller is now known as GoldenH [01:12] * Bog_Mod is going to enjoy combining abyssal and solar charms [01:12] * Vanal is now known as DarthTom [01:12] * GoldenH is impressed with the doom [01:12] * Nika is now known as Manxcat [01:12] * Jynaru is now known as Fiat [01:12] I forgot about that. [01:12] Aiya. [01:12] Stupid charms. [01:12] Fiat, you can buy Abyssal charms when you get the Book back. [01:13] * Tala is now known as Werlynn [01:13] * Fiat thought I was almost to the Steel Devil, but nooo.... [01:13] Woo! [01:13] * Fiat is the doom-masta! I don't want any Abyssal charms! [01:13] who would get them anyways? [01:13] Yeah... something ain't right here... Must declick that charm. [01:13] I think Van just made his position clear as to whom the supreme damage-doer is here *g* [01:14] wouldn't only the eclipse get them? Maya? [01:14] Oh yeah. Masamune and the rest of the OFFICAL beta 2 testers have been talking. [01:14] * Yuri nods [01:14] * Fiat shrugs. You and your silly sword. [01:14] beta 2 what? [01:14] If I had a set of footclaws like that, I'd put you to shame. [01:14] Beta 2 of Ed's Exalted Toolkit. [01:14] ah [01:14] fine then, kill your grilfriend and get some solars to put her in the claws [01:15] Anyway, you know how in the Castebooks they list Charms that require skills of 6 and 7? [01:15] * Fiat shrugs. Don't have a girlfriend. Can I borrow your next one? [01:15] ...that was strangely cathartic [01:15] yes? [01:15] We were wondering how that works. [01:15] get essence above 5 [01:15] once your Essence goes beyond 5, you buy those [01:15] That's the current consensus. [01:15] But where did you find this information? [01:15] Skills & Attribute limits = Permanent Essence limits [01:16] core rulebook [01:16] * Bog_Mod believes that is what CGC said [01:16] GCG? [01:16] whichever his name is [01:16] yup, GCG posted in WW forums [01:16] Hey! GH! [01:16] XP? [01:16] they maker said it in some developers questionair on a whitewolf forum [01:16] Or was the levelling the Xp for tonight? [01:16] I think we got xp :) [01:16] I'll search the forums for it. [01:17] anyways, as it is now 3:30 [01:17] * Fiat always likes to make absolutely sure. [01:17] (remember to spring forward, folks) [01:17] I am getting some sleep [01:17] cya [01:17] Back. [01:17] 'night [01:17] Later, DT. [01:17] 5 xp [01:17] * DarthTom (~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3497356.sympatico.ca) Quit (Quit: "I'm pissed so you don't have to be. I'm your Anger Shaman."- Henry Rollins) [01:17] g'night. [01:17] * Fiat considers. Must reset clock. [01:18] Argh! Sooo... lazy. But must type up Archery Art for approval... [01:18] * GoldenH sighs. maybe next week will actually be all that much bettery. [01:18] Then I'll stick it on the Beta tester Forum. [01:18] mmmm - abyssal Ark.... [01:18] And, Fiat? I'd like to see that. [01:18] So we ended with a cliffhanger? [01:19] Ark can go Abyssal. :) [01:19] * Fiat can BREAKINATE THE ARK AT LAST! BUAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!! [01:19] He'll become an NPC, and you'll have to create a new guy. [01:19] oh, thats no fun [01:19] :( [01:19] * GoldenH shrugs. less a cliffhanger, more a "I knew that it would take exactly X amount of time to get here and unfortunately it did not go faster than I expected" [01:20] * Fiat doesn't get to break Ark? [01:20] I thought you said you wanted to do taht. [01:20] * Bog_Mod had at one point but times change [01:21] Okay, so can I go and sleep now| [01:21] ? [01:21] Night Hikky. [01:21] G'night, Hik! [01:21] night [01:21] Night..... for me to. [01:21] Good night. [01:21] or morning [01:21] * Fiat considers. Hey.... Jydan? [01:21] Yeeeeeeeees? [01:22] * Thanos (~web-Guest@ip68-108-129-116.lv.lv.cox.net) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [01:22] Well, it is actually 9:20 in the morning here. [01:22] Maybe you'd like to explain the Tatya doom to me? [01:22] No! [01:22] :) [01:22] Still I'll get a few hours of sleep. [01:22] Never! [01:22] Uh uh! [01:22] No way! [01:22] * Fiat remembers a conversation involving "Not using the Resonance mechanics"... [01:22] See you another day. [01:22] Over my dead body! [01:22] cya [01:22] Bye Hikky. [01:22] * Fiat is now known as FiatVictrix [01:22] #o [01:22] * ChanServ sets mode: +o FiatVictrix [01:22] * Cicada is now known as Hikari [01:23] Say that again, boyo. [01:23] byee [01:23] Oh, she's still a servant of the deathlords. [01:23] * Hikari (~angelhika@barium.prg.dtu.dk) Quit (Quit: ) [01:23] Just which deathlord, is the question. [01:23] * FiatVictrix laughs! [01:23] Now that is appropriately doomy. [01:23] * Bog_Mod would suspect Lover... [01:23] The Lover is dead. [01:23] bedtime for manxcat, see youse guys later [01:23] Night Manx. [01:23] since lover encourages kids with unsuspecting Solars [01:23] dead? [01:24] Dead dead. [01:24] when did that happen? [01:24] * Manxcat (manxcat@wv-mltn-ubr-c-024-159-089-167.charterwv.net) Quit (Quit: ) [01:24] Apparently that's who Mask used the book on. [01:24] After he got the Book. [01:24] hmmm..... [01:24] interesting [01:24] * FiatVictrix approves. [01:24] Umm, She was dead before she got the book i think [01:24] ;) [01:24] we mean really dead [01:24] I mean, GONE. [01:24] You know, of course, it's going to take a fine line to make that make sense, Jydan. [01:25] oblivionated [01:25] * FiatVictrix considers. Perhaps it's for the best I didn't do the marrying Tatya thing yet... [01:25] :) [01:25] And also that I haven't quite told SEW to go and shove it... [01:25] Who are the Deathlords, though. :) [01:26] * FiatVictrix shrugs. I'll muddle through it. [01:26] ghosts [01:26] big ghosts, but ghosts [01:26] If all else fails, I can toss down the XP for Threefold and get to the using. [01:26] I mean, how many are there? :) [01:26] Are there really 13? Or were there more in the past? [01:26] 13 unless you go with the 14 theory [01:26] there were 10 in the past [01:27] only got up to thirteen in the last few centuries [01:27] * FiatVictrix blinks. [01:27] That sounds suspiciously like the Maeljin Incarna.... [01:27] * Bog_Mod knows not of the incarna [01:27] Werewolf Deal. [01:27] Mmmm...... The Incarna...... :) [01:27] ah [01:28] Sort of avatars of the Wyrm. [01:28] those guys, don't know them but know of them [01:28] * Jydan likes The Queen of Lust. [01:28] Different aspects had different Incarna, and offhand I remember one of them being a double Incarna. [01:28] you would [01:28] * FiatVictrix shrugs. I can say this. At least Tatya isn't a Deathlord. [01:28] there is a theory that a 14th may show up [01:29] but most think only 13, and that 13 is special to the neverborn [01:29] Because no Deathlord would have let me stay un-bishi so long ^_^ [01:29] * Bog_Mod likes the Sidereal serving the deathlord [01:29] Oh! And BTW Fiat. Kitsune knows, and she's okay with it. [01:29] * FiatVictrix blinks. What the.... [01:29] evil sidereal... [01:29] mmm [01:29] KITSUNE IS OK WITH HER SERVING A DEATHLORD STILL?! [01:29] Me and that girl gonna have to have us a little talk. [01:30] maybe you should bring in the Green Lady... [01:30] BTW Jydan, Ark blames the forest for him loosing it in the underworld [01:30] its a cursed forest is all, nothing wrong with him [01:30] Good. It was a wicked forset. [01:30] * FiatVictrix sighs. [01:31] Well, there goes my asking Maya what to do. [01:31] Now it's more plot in secret and start revving up the stabbity death. [01:31] * Jydan sighs. You apparently aren't remember a very important fact. [01:31] ? [01:31] you can always come to Maya for advice [01:31] :) [01:32] * Bog_Mod will help Demetir with Stabbity death [01:32] * FiatVictrix shrugs. Yeah, grand. Like I really need to go mouthing off about Tatya not being quite cut-off from evil yet... [01:33] Much plotting, much stabbity death. [01:33] * Jydan sighs. What is the Book? [01:33] evil [01:33] A damn fine strip poker player. [01:33] * Bog_Mod thinks it is evil [01:33] it doesn't seem evil to me [01:33] Also, last time I checked, in the hand of Mask. [01:33] it's probably an innocent soul bound in the flesh of a murderer. [01:33] Seems to be unhappy to be owned by non-solars. [01:33] What did the Council say about it? [01:34] * FiatVictrix dunnoes. That was a long time ago, and they weren't useful. [01:34] Oh, yeah. [01:34] * FiatVictrix is amused. [01:34] The Book is a Deathlord. [01:34] :) [01:34] Or was, or whatever. [01:34] * FiatVictrix dunnoes. Confusing state of being for the time of night. [01:34] like i said. an innocent soul bound in the flesh of a murderer. [01:35] well, thats fine. They don't explain 5 of them in the book so it is possible [01:35] * FiatVictrix is amused at Deathlord Book. [01:35] No wonder I never beat it at strip poker, even when I cheated. [01:35] also because you weren't a girl [01:35] I'll bet it let Kuniko win a few times.. ;) [01:36] * Bog_Mod just read Hikari [01:36] * FiatVictrix chuckles. [01:36] s advice for Kuniko [01:36] hehehe ;) [01:36] * FiatVictrix 's slowly thwacking up Demetri's question and Hawke's Question... [01:37] * Bog_Mod ponders...liberal society...like the south maybe? [01:37] Hawke's Question? [01:37] shouldn't have capitalized it quite like that. [01:37] g'night [01:37] Hawke's question? [01:37] night [01:37] Night, GH. [01:37] g'night, GH. [01:37] * FiatVictrix nods. [01:38] what is his question?
