Session Start: Sat Jul 19 12:40:50 2003 [12:40] * Topic is 'Exalted: "What'd they do this time? Radioactive Dog bit them? Radioactive Monkey? Giraffe?" "It looks like they just ate some bad Sushi." "Radioactive Bad Sushi?" "Yes."' [12:40] 'ello, H. [12:41] 'lo, fiat [12:41] hi gh [12:41] *k [12:41] you mean 5 spells ? [12:41] 5 terrestrial spells, yeah. [12:42] * FV is perhaps the world's only fan of paralyzing contrdiction. [12:42] lol :) [12:42] Although really, it needs to be faster. [12:42] not so - remember that twilight you guys killed at the beginning? if you hadn't been punking her nighty friend, that is what she woulda cast [12:43] It seems kinda silly for it to take two turns when compared to stuff like flying guillotine. [12:43] Then again, I like cantata of empty voices too. [12:43] * FV ponders a voice-themed sorceror. [12:44] I'd say abyssal, because they have that banshee thing going on... [12:44] how very DnDish of you... [12:44] Thunder Wolf's Howl, paralyzing contradiction, Cantata of Empty Voices... [12:45] * FV flips through trying to grab a couple more voice-themed spells. [12:45] ooh! [12:45] Even better. [12:45] Sidereal of Serenity. Performance bonus, specs in singing, SIREN! [12:45] lol :) [12:45] Better than banshee. [12:46] * kAFKaesque is now known as stryck [12:46] * GoldenH rubs his chin. [12:48] damned if i ain't tired [12:49] saluut sky [12:50] hikeyy [12:50] hi keyny [12:51] question : can a mortal learn some sorcery basis ? [12:51] There are mortal sorcerers, but they're punks. [12:52] It's more like "Ok, the cow will give good milk" than "Ok, the cow will give milk that heals all sickness". [12:52] * stryck is now known as Madeline [12:52] lol [12:53] only if they have that mantle thingy [12:53] so that's not circles of sorcery ^^ [12:53] If they're stupid enough, mortals can summon demons of the first circle during calibration, but that's about it as far as nifty tricks go. [12:53] that lets you learn 1 circle of sorcery higher than you normally can [12:53] naaah.. they can summon em all the time.... each demon is special ;) [12:53] No, no circles of sorcery. However, mortal sorcerers can still do stuff. [12:53] if they couldn't they wouldn't be sorcerers, now, would they? [12:54] Not very impressive stuff, but hey, you can't always have an Exalt around when you need a ward against the undead. [12:54] mortals can do the circle of salt thing [12:55] * FV expects that mortals are the makers of most of the cheap talismans, slightly magicked family hierlooms, and such. [12:55] * Madeline plays a zombie hunter :P [12:55] A mortal sorcerer considers adding TWO whole dice to a sword amazing. [12:55] heh, thothbot has Manacle and Coin AND Ruins of mathless.... [12:56] Dammit, stop spelling that wierd! [12:56] RATHESS! [12:56] RATHESS! [12:56] RATH! [12:56] ESS! [12:56] mathless! [12:56] RATHESS! [12:56] mathless! [12:56] RATHESS! [12:56] mathless! [12:56] SPERIMIN! [12:57] Which is not RATHESS! [13:01] * DarthTom (~ltermac@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3499459.sympatico.ca) has joined #pvpexalted [13:02] howdy DT [13:02] yo [13:02] 'ello, DT. [13:19] hey..there's a ninja on the sideral cover [13:19] http://www.pvpforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20656 [13:19] hi dt ^^ [13:19] yea [13:19] sidereals shipped for the printers... two days ago. [13:20] niiice [13:20] and it's due out in august, right ? [13:21] yeap [13:22] * FV nods. Stupid ninja. Stupid person on the front. [13:22] bah... he's cool. [13:22] No. Just... no. [13:22] Yes, random person with a seven-section staff! THAT'S who I want on the cover. [13:22] i thought september [13:23] he's about 50,000x better than mirthless just by being a random person with a seven-sectioned staff. [13:23] well the sids created the immaculate martial arts n stuff :P [13:23] * andrix (andrix@ACB9A087.ipt.aol.com) has joined #pvpexalted [13:23] Bah. No style to him. [13:23] hi [13:24] i admit, the colorednes looks gay. [13:24] Deled had style. Harmonious Jade had style. Like it or not, Mirthless Smile had style. [13:24] Random dude with staff? No style. [13:24] He looks like an extra in a bad kung-fu flick. [13:24] who's this? [13:25] eh. he's too gay to be an extra. [13:25] Person on the cover of Sidereals. [13:25] he'd have to be someone important. [13:25] Extra. [13:25] it's not just the colouring [13:25] it's the facial expression [13:25] There's nothing distinguishing about him. [13:25] you got a link to the picture or anything like that? [13:25] he's gayer than richard simmons at Elton John's birthday [13:26] Just... ugh. [13:26] you still wish it was sad ivory, don't you ? [13:26] * FV wonders if I can print out a version of a colorized thing WITHOUT him on it to stick over the book. [13:26] face it...she's dead [13:27] Wrong. [13:27] d [13:27] e [13:27] a [13:27] d [13:27] Do I have to dig up the post where it's stated all those fiction pieces aren't canon? [13:27] heh [13:27] Because, you know, Borgstrom herself said it. [13:27] * DarthTom never read THAT post [13:27] she said she might not be dead ^_~ [13:28] hey, do i get to see this pic or not? [13:28] * FV remembers it as being that the opening fic wasn't canon, because they were writen to give emphasis to the particular side of the book. [13:28] Anyway... [13:28] I prefer her dead [13:29] http://www.pvpforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20656 [13:29] the point was that absolutely nothing in any of the books are canon, not that that particular piece wasn't [13:29] BAH! Heathen. [13:29] Bah. Now I have to dig up that thread. [13:29] * FV 's pretty sure she specifically states that the little one page fiction pieces don't count. [13:29] Anyway, it's not about sad ivory. [13:29] It's that every single one of the people in the background there would look better on the cover. [13:30] They have managed to pick one of the worst looking things I have ever seen and put it as the colorized person on the cover. Argh. [13:31] it's only half loaded and I hate him already [13:31] I mean, christ. Stick Kejak on there, or Ninja dude, or ANYONE but him. [13:31] Hell, throw Harmonious Jade on there again, I don't care. Just get that thing off of the cover. [13:31] what if that IS kejak? [13:31] * GoldenH shrugs. maybe the book will only allow us to play stupid-looking, styleless extras :P just like how solars only let us make bland, unoriginal characters... [13:31] That isn't Kejak. [13:31] He's in the background. [13:31] that would be scary [13:31] the guy is Shepard. [13:32] that's his name. [13:32] * FV shrugs. Then there will be murdering of the highest caliber. [13:32] * andrix will help [13:33] * FV didn't care for the Lunar art either, but ye gods. [13:33] If it comes down to it, I'll just tape a blank sheet of paper over the front and write "Do not Remove: Sidereal book" on it. [13:33] heh [13:34] good [13:34] you should go to the con and buy it there so you can destroy them if it does not meet your approval. [13:34] Ooh. Which Con? [13:34] at 190 pagse, you should be able to read it through in time to kill them before they leave. [13:34] I didn't mind the lunar art that much...it wasn't great tho [13:34] * GoldenH isn't sure, but i'm sure there will be one. [13:34] * FV 'll have to attempt it. [13:35] I'll borrow someone else's book, and start beating people into bloody pulps. [13:35] * andrix prepares to run somthing sharp and unpleasant through the artist [13:36] Then, the next day, after I make my Zorro-esque escape, I'll have a booth set up next to them with printed-out homebrew stuff and a stick-figure on the front that would STILL look better than shepard. [13:36] heh [13:37] but would you use double-ply binding? [13:37] 3 hole punch, binders. [13:37] That way you can slot in NPCs in the back and basic rules in the front. [13:38] * FV will need... Let me see. [13:39] I wonder if I can assemble the flaming sword in the con area... [13:39] * FV knows I can bust out the kilt and the sword easily enough, just need the flaming bit. [13:39] safer to go with water-daiklaive [13:39] you need spoons and lots of them [13:40] Bah. I need fire! [13:40] To burn horrible people and horrible worthless book! [13:40] FIRE! [13:40] badfiat! no fire! [13:40] Fire to purge and cleanse the world of evil crappity crap that is possible existing! [13:40] * ChanServ sets mode: +o GoldenH [13:41] don't make me come down there! [13:41] let him have his fire, as long as it my holy zenith badass fire, I need my fun too [13:41] FIRE! Fire to send sweet smoke offerings to the lords of the roleplay to notify them that the demonic servants of badness have been dealt with, and shall no more write D20 and books of much wonkery! [13:42] * GoldenH smites fiat with the power of apathy! [13:42] * FV lights the apathy on fire and sticks it in GH's hair! [13:42] stupid fiat... my hair doesn't burn. [13:43] * FV pours gasoline on it. Now it does! [13:43] * GoldenH warns you... if you light that fire, your mind will break like it's never broken before. [13:43] * andrix draws his Grand Daiklave. You just know I ain't passing up a fight [13:44] * Kraken (~a@stott1.demon.co.uk) has joined #pvpexalted [13:44] * FV prints out the code for escape velocity: nova, sticks it in GH's pants, and lights it. [13:44] * FV dances the fire dance! [13:44] * andrix hits GH for not letting Fiat have his FIRE!! [13:44] Fire! [13:44] hiya [13:44] hi [13:44] now you shall all feel my wrath. [13:44] I take you to BURN! [13:44] FIRE!!!! [13:44] * Kraken goes to check on his tea [13:44] * GoldenH sets mode: +v FV [13:45] * GoldenH sets mode: +v andrix [13:45] MWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! [13:45] * andrix hits GH again [13:45] stop it [13:46] never [13:46] FIYAH! [13:46] i am more indesturctable than a deathlord [13:46] and more incomprehensible than fae...

[13:47] * andrix hits GH with point zenithy juju sword!!! [13:47] * FV is now known as FireVictrix [13:47] * FireVictrix dances! [13:48] * andrix is now known as GrandDaiklaveAndrix [13:48] FirrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeahahahaaaaa! [13:48] FEAR MY BLADE!!! [13:48] that's it... [13:48] now you asked for it..... [13:48] * GoldenH is now known as UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot [13:49] * FireVictrix is now known as TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot [13:49] * Bog_Mod (Bog@24.68.109.83) has joined #pvpexalted [13:49] nyarr [13:49] JeFIRE! [13:49] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot is immune to your piddly fire [13:50] * GrandDaiklaveAndrix is now known as PISSEDOFFANDRIX [13:50] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot 's fire is immune to your immunity. [13:50] * PISSEDOFFANDRIX hits stuff [13:50] that's nice. but you can't HGD HGD, sucker. [13:51] I don't need to. Your parrying tool can burn too. FIYAH! [13:52] yeah...so how is everyone? [13:52] DEATH TO EVERYONE!!!!! [13:52] ESPECIALLY GH!!!!! [13:53] Same old same old I see [13:53] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot defeats you all [13:53] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot is immune to defeat. [13:53] For I am 2X strength to you twice! Nyahahahaaaa! [13:53] Everyone hates the freak on the Sidereal cover. [13:54] We're arguing if I should burn the WW people in my murdering or not. I favor fire, GH favors... not fire? [13:54] Something like that. [13:54] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot favors water. [13:54] burn them with water. [13:54] * PISSEDOFFANDRIX smacks the ulitmate robots together, slices them both with his G.Daiklave, uses super andrix solar zenith juju shit to burn them, twist the bodies, buries the, dances on the graves, gets a deathlord to ressurect them ,stomps on the deathlord for being waaaay to evil, crushes the robots, slices them again, and then banishes them to some hellish place worse than hell [13:54] Sid cover? [13:54] Can I see the cover? [13:54] and I hate all!!!! [13:55] Yeah, we know you do Andrix. But you never win so shh. [13:55] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot puts himself back together [13:55] he had sex with Fiat. that's enough winning. [13:56] that is a matter of opinion. [13:56] http://www.pvpforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20656 [13:56] Now where...ah [13:56] lets see [13:56] DON't BRING THAT UP!!!

[13:57] The woman mentioned seriously frightens me. [13:57] don't forget I have the most powerful weapon of all [13:58] nookies? [13:58] Is it DAS KEGELMEISTER? [13:58] * SERIOUSLYPISSEDOF h!t's al wiph he's bad grammer und spel'in. [13:59] d00d j0r typ0 d53m0ns c4n\o0t d3f34t m33 [13:59] Her eyes are sort of creepy [13:59] * SERIOUSLYPISSEDOF is now known as andrix [13:59] P|-|33R /\/\4 L337!!! [13:59] That's a him. [14:00] * DarthTom blinks [14:00] * andrix blinks [14:00] see? I already defated andrix, you are only having a little time left to go. [14:00] * DarthTom ia very, very confused [14:00] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot is immune to your tricks, tiny one. [14:01] #o [14:01] * ChanServ sets mode: +o DarthTom [14:02] * andrix is now known as the [14:02] * the is now known as andrix [14:02] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot now fears das kegelmaster users more than anything else in the world. [14:02] * andrix is now known as andrixundeafeated [14:02] * andrixundeafeated fears nothing [14:02] I have replaced the factory supplied springs with "engine valve lifter springs" which I feel are again providing enough resistance to further buildup squeezing strength in my vagina. [14:02] * andrixundeafeated was kicked by DarthTom (Nothing ?) [14:03] * andrixundeafeated (andrix@ACB9A087.ipt.aol.com) has joined #pvpexalted [14:03] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot was kicked by DarthTom (That's jsut crude) [14:03] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot (Fiat@dsc01-ati-ga-3-82.rasserver.net) has joined #pvpexalted [14:03] no nothing [14:03] you mean the person in colour is the one that annoyed you? [14:03] OK. Has anyone here ever tried to compress a valve spring? [14:03] nope [14:03] yea, i've done it. [14:03] ...... [14:03] anyway the UC just brings me back so there [14:03] * DarthTom sets mode: +o Bog_Mod [14:03] .... with a fucking valve-spring compressor [14:03] I can't really be hurt [14:03] * Retrieving #pvpexalted info... [14:03] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot sets mode: +m [14:04] mmm...kick ban [14:04] mmmm..... [14:04] victory. [14:04] and the bad thing is if I ban you, I don't know how to unban people... [14:05] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot sets mode: -m [14:05] leave me alone lest i sign you up for 2000 different gay porn newsletters [14:06] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot has the moral victory. [14:06] * Bog_Mod has your email as well [14:06] Das kegelmaster is even now crafting nightmares of compression force to attack you with in your sleeping slumber. [14:06] I have many spam etc. blockers [14:06] actually I thought it was kinda cool. [14:06] and zenith juju is on my side [14:07] You mean....I will have to get a new secret account!?!? [14:07] Oh no! [14:07] Whatever will I do? [14:07] and then I will track it down and kill it [14:07] me blinks. [14:07] The valve springs? [14:07] it's funny. [14:07] trojans always work well anyway [14:08] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot imagines a valve-spring powered crossbow [14:09] nooooooo [14:09] Trojans don't work well [14:09] * Kraken returns after feeding himself [14:09] * andrixundeafeated hates crossbows [14:09] too pointy [14:09] mmmmmm.... crossbow. [14:09] Only, springs have nothing to do with crossbows, really. [14:10] If you stuck valve springs on there, you'd either break the arms or only be able to shoot once a month. [14:10] * andrixundeafeated dares Kraken to read all of what we've said in the past 30mins or so [14:10] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot shrugs. I bet I could make a valve-spring crossbow, kinda look like a railgun. [14:11] * Kraken reads [14:11] * Kraken shrugs [14:12] * Kraken is happy :) my results for my second year arrived today :D [14:12] lotsa shouting and fire and big clunky robots [14:12] cool, any good [14:13] * Kraken got 71% overall for the year, which is a first class degree [14:13] 71% is first class? [14:14] nice one [14:14] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot admits that's a bit higher than I average ^_^ [14:14] 70% is the typical cutoff mark for a first class degree yeah [14:14] heh [14:16] * Bog_Mod averaged between 70-75% for his first year. [14:16] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot doesn't quite understand. you can't even graduate where I live without a higher than 70% average. [14:17] we do things differently over here [14:17] different education systems and all [14:17] Oh, GH. Consultation with Kas led to berzerky custom charm as 7, 10, or doubling the HLs. Got any thoughts? [14:18] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot awaits the storm of profanity. ^_^ [14:19] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot shrugs [14:19] I thought the idea was to have less essence? [14:20] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot shrugs. Ess+Ma? It's really fairly useless minus a good amount of HL added, considering the rather astounding lack of soak and defense, and that the charm is based around taking an assload of damage and hitting back. [14:21] It became obvious that 4 HL was about one single hit, which really isn't great for an ess 4 charm that already burns an HL to activate. [14:21] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot dunnos. if you make it non-instant, you can't combo it anymore. [14:21] There's two charms. One adds the HL and flips the modifiers. [14:21] The other is the multi-attack thingie. [14:22] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot was asking what a proper amount of HL to add would be. [14:22] For what? [14:22] Ess+MA was an early thought, but a pointless one, because that's going to add 9 HL 90% of the time. [14:23] You might as well just say 9. [14:23] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot built a custom tiger charm. It adds HL and turns the - modifiers on HL into positive ones. Hurray. [14:23] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot shrugs. that's clearly an ess 6 charm. [14:23] Ess 6? [14:24] 9HL? meh. [14:24] WTF? [14:24] * Mayumi (Hikari@62.79.85.210.ppp1-4.alb.tiscali.dk) has joined #pvpexalted [14:24] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Mayumi [14:24] hello [14:24] Hello. [14:24] hi mayumi [14:24] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot notes that adding just essence or just Ma makes it not worth using. [14:24] You'll lose that in a single hit. [14:24] you could argue MA health levels instead of just Essence. [14:24] hi May [14:24] Wow. I get 5 instead of 4! [14:24] Big change. [14:25] well, yea, if you rely on soaks. [14:25] hi may [14:25] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot has to. [14:25] What, I have fivefold bulwark and I didn't notice? [14:25] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot was not aware I suddenly had reflexive parries to buy. [14:26] eh, you can use both your actions to full dodge if you have to ^_^ [14:26] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot shrugs. Which again makes the charm useless. [14:26] Why bother spending the motes, or even making it thematic? [14:26] there's a difference between useless, actually does something, and awsome. [14:26] It's useless if you have to be double full dodging. [14:27] at 5 HL, and getting +2 dice bonus to all actions, it's not that bad. [14:27] The point is it gives you some breathing room to go on offense. [14:27] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot shrugs. One hit is not breathing room. [14:27] 9 HL? for one charm? [14:27] * andrixundeafeated is now known as andrix [14:27] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot shrugs. There's ess 3 with far less requirements that can add 5. [14:28] get this and invincible thing from presence tree, then you get your 8 HL with 9m. [14:28] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot has no intention of getting presence tree stuff. [14:28] I'd have to drop... 60+ XP on it. [14:28] So.... who of the mighty mechs is Fiat? And what is going on? [14:28] no... there is only two prerequs, it's more like 16 xp. [14:28] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot does not have 60+ Xp to drop. [14:29] ultimatedeath is GH [14:29] I have to buy the dots which aren't favored, I have to buy 3 charms which aren't favored. [14:29] TheTHING is fiat [14:29] Okay. [14:29] That's at least 36 XP. [14:29] Fiat is always THE THING. ;) [14:29] Then add the dots to be able to use it on there. [14:29] we were fighting before, hence the names [14:30] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot 's now at 50 XP which I can't afford to waste on presence, although I might could afford 40 because the charm I designed is useless. [14:30] * Bog_Mod isn't sure what they are talking abouty [14:31] fiat's trying to convince me that a charm that adds 10HL and +2 dice is not overpowered. [14:31] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot shrugs. [14:31] It flips dice penalties. if I'm in a -2 HL, I get 2 dice instead of losing them. [14:31] If I'm in -1, I get 1 die. It revolves round having buffer room to take damage. [14:32] 4HL is not buffer. [14:32] 4 HL is "Hey, 2 soak would have gotten rid of that much." [14:33] The fact you're referring me to a charm with 2 pre-reqs, and 4/2 where this is ten pre-reqs and 5/4 is just pathetic. [14:33] So how are you doing May? [14:33] And are you free on monday? [14:34] Monday? What for? [14:34] 4HL is about even to 10 soak. [14:34] No dating this close to Hitoshi arriving. Sorry. ;) [14:34] For possible make up game for Krakens campaign. [14:34] Hitoshi is visiting ? [14:34] Bah. [14:34] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot tested it. [14:34] 4 HL is about 2-3 soak. [14:34] In August, yes.

Okay. [14:35] UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot (8) 9, 5, 2, 5, 6, 10, 3, 4, Successes : 2 [14:35] !exm 8 [14:35] it's at least worth 6 soak. [14:35] UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot (5), 4, 5, 2, 4, 5, Successes : 0 [14:35] nice [14:35] UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot (6), 8, 8, 3, 1, 4, 10, Successes : 3 [14:35] UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot (6), 10, 6, 10, 6, 5, 2, Successes : 2 [14:35] so we have you, me, andrix and kraken for that day now [14:35] UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot (6), 1, 3, 1, 4, 2, 7, Successes : 1 [14:35] rigth now for jydan and ete and gunnar :) [14:35] and keyn [14:36] UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot (6), 9, 6, 3, 6, 1, 10, Successes : 2 [14:36] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot shrugs. It's still a speed pump, because I lose the HL in a SINGLE ATTACK. [14:36] UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot (7), 9, 7, 5, 8, 5, 2, 8, Successes : 4 [14:36] UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot (7), 8, 8, 9, 5, 6, 2, 5, Successes : 3 [14:36] UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot (7), 4, 2, 2, 4, 6, 5, 4, Successes : 0 [14:36] can people stop that? [14:36] UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot (8), 2, 1, 7, 3, 4, 7, 9, 7, Successes : 4 [14:36] UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot (8), 6, 1, 7, 2, 2, 7, 6, 10, Successes : 3 [14:36] UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot (8), 10, 8, 3, 1, 5, 8, 10, 2, Successes : 4 [14:36] well, that's true enough. [14:36] UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot (8), 6, 4, 9, 9, 3, 10, 5, 9, Successes : 4 [14:36] It's not worth throwing up because it is entirely inefficient. [14:36] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot has no reason at all to design it, no reason to use it. [14:37] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot shrugs. i'm not going to give out 9 HL. [14:37] maybe you can add your MA in soak. [14:37] It doesn't even stand up to a single hit, ONE, and it burns an HL and costs me ten XP I could spend on somethnig I can actually use. [14:37] and get your essence in HL. [14:38] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot doesn't NEED to add my MA in soak. There's a charm that already does that. [14:38] well, it'd stack. [14:38] 9 HL is about 2 hits, as you've shown. [14:38] Which sort of defeats the point of flipping penalties. [14:38] It's no longer about taking damage and returning it. [14:39] * Cicada (Hikari@62.79.87.180.ppp1-4.vir.tiscali.dk) has joined #pvpexalted [14:39] Should I just not bother trying to be thematic when I try to make custom charms? [14:40] wb may [14:40] they are still at it [14:40] but at least they stopped rolling [14:41] * Cicada (Hikari@62.79.87.180.ppp1-4.vir.tiscali.dk) Quit (No route to host) [14:41] * Nikita (Hikari@62.79.87.180.ppp1-4.vir.tiscali.dk) has joined #pvpexalted [14:41] * Mayumi (Hikari@62.79.85.210.ppp1-4.alb.tiscali.dk) Quit (Ping timeout) [14:41] wb again may [14:41] wb [14:41] wb again [14:41] Thanks. [14:41] Crap connection... [14:42] * Bog_Mod blames society [14:42] Welcome back. Haven't seen a no route to host in a while. [14:42] * Bog_Mod has seen Fiat have that just this week [14:43] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot laughs. Well, see, if I~! disc like that, I don't see it. [14:44] I suppose that is what you get for logging on when the phone lines are at their most busy. [14:44] Still, it is interesting how I always disc twice ot thrice, but then is completely stable the rest of the night. [14:45] it is a blessing [14:45] 3 quick disconnects for safety all night [14:45] Anyway, I must disappear. [14:45] bye Fiat [14:45] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot shall see you all later. [14:45] * TheThingAfterUltimateAntiRobot (Fiat@dsc01-ati-ga-3-82.rasserver.net) Quit (Quit: Battles risking the soul... a man becomes a slave to his own ambition. His motivation is the thirst for power.) [14:45] bye [14:46] * UltimateDeathDestroyingRobot is now known as GoldenH [14:46] Fiat going to work? [14:46] who knows [14:46] * Nikita is now known as Mayumi [14:46] * GoldenH figures not. [14:46] it is the weekend though [14:46] i think he's going to walk around for a while. [14:47] * GoldenH was making foods. [14:47] maybe he's making foods. [14:48] maybe he is getting the crack [14:48] * GoldenH just finds it odd he wants a bajillion health levels. [14:48] * Bog_Mod likes health level [14:48] Well, if you want tons of health levels, then do not play a DB. [14:49] * andrix prefers not to think about what Fiat is doing [14:49] * Bog_Mod thought they were talking transcendant. [14:49] it's better for my sanity [14:49] no, we are talking solar Tiger style. for my DB game. and he wants the charm tonight. [14:49] bah [14:49] DBs should not be making celestial level charms. [14:49] indeed. [14:50] * GoldenH said, ok make celestial level charm, and I already let him have a charm that let him hit as many times as he could. [14:50] Doesn't Jynaru have completed Tiger Style already? [14:50] yeap. [14:50] And besides, Jyn is not the only one. Tabius has Celestial Sorcery. [14:51] * GoldenH nods. so i let him make charms. [14:51] * Bog_Mod hopes there are good reasons for this. [14:51] but c'mon, 9 HL? [14:51] Vanal and Cicada are likely the only rules-correct chars by now. ;) [14:51] * GoldenH sighs. [14:51] yes, miss app 6 dex 6 ^_^ [14:51] Maybe Tala too. But Tala always gets forgotten. [14:51] Heh. [14:51] Tala is rules-correctest. [14:51] hmm [14:51] Yea, so scratch Cicada. [14:52] * andrix is going to take his leave now [14:52] bye [14:52] bye [14:52] cya guys [14:52] bye bye andrix [14:52] * andrix (andrix@ACB9A087.ipt.aol.com) has left #pvpexalted [14:52] Later, Andrix. [14:52] * Bog_Mod goes back to pondering lion style [14:52] You see, the problem is, he talked to Kasumi. [14:52] Damn you, Kasumi. [14:52] And was told about the *KILLER COMBO*? [14:53] Kasumi? Kasumi is always against many health levels [14:53] apparently not this time. [14:53] * GoldenH thinks that MA HL, changing HL -s to +s, and giving Ess soak is plenty. [14:53] * Bog_Mod takes on Kasumi's tone. "Because it implies you are getting hit." [14:53] it's damn hard to roll 4 sux on a damage roll. [14:53] maybe i'll let him roll his essence, like the twilight anima power... [14:53] that seems fairer... [14:53] * Mayumi likes to be hit on - occasionally. [14:54] Hit on and being hit are different things. [14:56] lets just say I'm glad i'm making combat a minor part of my next game. [14:57] I see.... [14:57] * Mayumi makes note: "Downplay combat abilities - top Appearence (must best own mother)" [14:57] heh [14:58] * GoldenH already decided on one of your sisters ^_~ [14:59] But what if the birth is so difficult that Cicada never can bear children again? [14:59] naaaah. [14:59] you'll see..... [14:59] * GoldenH glows [14:59] Or what if Sanyet dies? Cicada would never be able to love another man! You know that! :) [14:59] mwahahhahahhah [15:02] so, what animal are you looking for? [15:02] bear? cat? hippopottimus? [15:02] Errr... animal? [15:02] * GoldenH rubs the back of his neck [15:03] Ah! [15:03] Mammoth. [15:03] Beeeeeg and hairy. [15:03] a mammoth? hmm.... and it has tusks too. [15:03] ? [15:03] The nose is not bad either. [15:04] true [15:04] it's kinda the harder ones to imagine. [15:05] And you can use him as a shower as well. [15:05] heh [15:05] Nose good for that too. [15:05] yea [15:06] And there is no need to comment on "men never thinking about anything else..." every time he suggests you ride him for an hour or two. [15:06] In fact, he is being gallant. The supermarket is rather far away. [15:07] heh [15:07] And I sure hope this is not some sort of indirect way of telling me that Sanyet in fact is going to become a Lunar Exalted. [15:08] sure... [15:08] ..... [15:09] * Madeline is now known as Sonja [15:09] Or that Raksi is going to make beast children on Cicada... [15:09] * GoldenH wouldn't know. [15:10] I think raksi would rather eat her. [15:10] More doomination! Moooooore! [15:10] MOOOOOORE! [15:10] * Mayumi is quoting the homepage. [15:10] Sure she would eat her.... [15:10] hmm? [15:11] StoryBASTARD. [15:11] Mmmm...Ikjarjuk... [15:11] ^_^ [15:11] * Bog_Mod likes the Elder Serpent. [15:11] * GoldenH gives mayumi some baaaaad er goooooood sushi [15:12] mmmm.... [15:12] * Bog_Mod ponders... [15:13] I don't suppose there are some scenes you want to play with Cicada before the game itself? [15:14] * GoldenH supposes so but it's kinda early. [15:14] and i'm rather distracted :O [15:14] Courting Bloom? Going to Lookshy? [15:14] plenty of time during the game. [15:14] ooooo.... work? [15:14] no reason to get ahead of myself. [15:14] kinda. [15:14] * GoldenH is editing a image for parents. [15:15] also am about to read Manacle and Coin [15:15] as soon as the pdf downloads. [15:15] Awwww... that means you just work for food... [15:15] food AND board. [15:15] So you are getting it as a PDF. [15:15] yea [15:15] * GoldenH has something like -$6 [15:15] Still, good book. Well worth reading. [15:15] yea [15:16] * GoldenH would buy it/read it but bookstore not have it yet. [15:16] btw, what was the names of Cic's parents again? [15:16] * GoldenH is thinking of making up new names. [15:16] Okay. [15:16] lets see if I can find 'em. [15:17] May [15:17] What is ruins of rathess like? [15:18] I haven't bought it. [15:18] Looked too much like Temple of Elemental Evil for Exalted to me. [15:19] * Bog_Mod thought you were one of the people that had it... [15:19] ah well [15:19] you can downlaod it as a pdf too [15:19] * GoldenH is getting that next [15:19] Hmmmm.... Warm-faced Seduction Style for poor old Bloom... [15:19] * Mayumi is considering xp expenditure. [15:20] That or Dance of Flashing Swords for poor old Bloom too. :) [15:20] [22:35] Your mother was The Effervescent Daughter of Flame [Evaes]. Your father was The Everlasting Strength of Peace [Taneas]. They were the rulers of a country that was unrightfully taken from them. You are the heir to a birthright that has been denied to you, so that in time, bloom's own blood would hold the place your family should. [15:20] [ [15:20] But Bloom's blood will inherit! [15:21] By measure of the heirs Cic will bear him! [15:21] Just ask her! She'll tell you. ;) [15:21] l'Evaes seems fine... Tanase is better [15:21] mwahahahhaha [15:22] brb [15:22] why did I just laugh like that? [15:24] you are feeling especially evil? [15:25] not really. [15:25] Back. [15:26] wb [15:26] Because of the prospect of making Cic pregnant again? [15:26] naah. [15:26] i think i just swapped personalities. [15:26] ah well. [15:26] Flashing Sword dance for old Bloom then? [15:26] up to you.... [15:26] hmmm. [15:26] Oh, yes. [15:27] Ebchanting Performance is evile too... :) [15:27] I don't know why.. is there any reason I didn't use Sion as your hometown? [15:27] * Mayumi don't know. [15:27] why.... [15:27] * GoldenH is mystified. [15:27] You mean where she was a peasant girl, or her parents province? [15:27] parent's province. [15:28] I think we said the direction of Sion. [15:28] Is Sion detailed in the DB book? [15:28] could be.. let me see. [15:29] #o [15:29] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Mayumi [15:31] * GoldenH doesn't see it. [15:33] perhaps there is some reason..... [15:33] * GoldenH dunnos. [15:33] * Mayumi (Hikari@62.79.87.180.ppp1-4.vir.tiscali.dk) Quit (Ping timeout) [15:34] * Mayumi (Hikari@62.79.85.199.ppp1-4.alb.tiscali.dk) has joined #pvpexalted [15:35] #o [15:35] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Mayumi [15:35] wb [15:36] ah.... downloaded. [15:37] Bandwidth Limit Exceeded - on the EC..? [15:37] sigh. again? [15:37] that's the second time this month. [15:37] * GoldenH thinks the compendium is going to crash and burn. [15:38] Is that the limit on how many can log on in a certain period? Like a month or so? [15:38] but he is getting donations now [15:38] no... [15:38] perhaps it will save the day [15:38] it's how many megabytes can be sent over a month. [15:39] Ah. [15:39] But people logging on use that too, right? [15:39] kikooooo people ^^ [15:39] Hi Keyn. [15:39] well, yes. but every time you click on anything on the web, that increases the bandwidth usage. [15:40] hi Keyn [15:40] how are you all ? ^^ [15:40] kraken, why did you say my name sooner ? [15:40] hi keyn [15:41] wha? [15:41] We want you to play on monday [15:41] for a make up game for Kraken's campaign [15:41] what ? [15:41] * Kraken was already asking him this in PM :p [15:41] a make up game ?? [15:42] no problem [15:42] I can make it [15:43] * Mayumi changes topic to 'Exalted: In this world too "He is a goodnatured person who gets along well with people and likes to coorporate with others to achive goals and better the world" is the rarest of character concepts.' [15:44] I don't agree ^^ [15:44] I do. [15:44] Or is there a rarer one? [15:44] Make beginning the description with "she" rather than "he"? [15:44] I mean, many people want to make the world better in exalted [15:45] just, they have, like everybody, their own vision of a better world [15:45] destroying the realm, destroying the barbarians, making peace with everybody, etc etcv [15:47] Being a little partial here, eh? [15:47] How about supporting the Realm? [15:47] There are Dragon-Blooded chars out there too, you know. ;) [15:48] destroying the barbarians <<< that means supporting the realm ^^ [15:48] Oh. [15:49] well, I didn't give an exhaustive list of all concepts ^^ [15:49] I just thought of it as the usual Solar activity in spring break... [15:49] but yes, finding the empress can be too ^^ [15:50] Besides, the title is a joke - comment on all the tiring hardbitten loners who kill for money and pleasure out there. [15:50] lol :) [15:50] or the Squall-like who are always bored to talk to people, and just want to be quiet and alone ^^ [15:50] You know, players who are not allowed to rebel in RL and instead make antisocial chars. [15:50] huhu [15:50] yes I know [15:51] the chars who doesn't get into the circle, and always do other things [15:51] which upset the ST and the players ^^ [15:51] * GoldenH made many character sheets, but I suffer for it ^_^ [15:52] I want to create a sorcerer, and I'm thinking about a good idea for why he's looking for knowledge. I think he comes from the Realm - I like the Realm ^^ but I'd like to give him an original goal [15:52] To make friends and coorporate with them? [15:52] :) [15:53] heh [15:53] lol [15:53] nah, that's normal for him I would say [15:54] He lived in a society, so he likes being with people, and he isn't really used to loneliness [15:55] hum, a DB exalted exalts at any moment, or during a specific period ? [15:56] So his main action during social parts will not be * (my char's name here) sits in the dark corner, glaring at people who dare to look at him and growling at any who gets too close. He plays with his cold, hard razor sharp steel knives, preparting them for their next victim's blood and flesh. ? [15:56] between 12 and 16? [15:56] LOLLLLL may ^^ [15:56] thanks GH [15:56] Who the bloody hell will even *think* of travelling with a guy like that?! [15:57] so if a potential DB isn't exalted at 18-20, he isn't considered as a potential ? [15:57] but sometimes may, a very social char can be sad ^^ [15:57] He is more likely considered a likely failure and dissapointment. [15:57] Every single scene? [15:58] nope [15:58] but once or twice in a campaign ^^ [15:58] after like he lost all his family [15:58] or his true love (lol) [15:58] heh, no problem with that. [15:59] but yes, people always doing that... [15:59] But you know what it is I am raging against, right? [15:59] that's a Squall thing that upset me more than many things ^^ [15:59] Kill Squall. [15:59] no ! [15:59] don't kill him [15:59] crucify him [15:59] Yes ! [15:59] and make him suffer [15:59] Ah, right. [15:59] nyark nyark nyark [16:00] even in wolf's rain, Kiba (Squall clone, but sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much more sexy and cute) who was a lone traveler accept to travel with the others wolves ^^ [16:01] Never played that game. [16:01] ? [16:01] But in FF8 i didn't much feel like killing Squall. [16:01] I felt like *murdering* all those idiot girls who somehow had the hots for him! [16:01] but telling how a character used to be alone can get into a group and finally trust them can be a good concept.. but well, that doesn't last 10 games ! :) [16:02] Too stupid to live! [16:02] Game ??? Wolf's Rain ???? awoooooo [16:02] * Keyn`Sha slaps Mayumi with the Titanic [16:02] Mayumi, you have to remember that he was a solar and using his cheapasss presence charms. [16:02] lol I agree may ^^ [16:02] * Mayumi is crushed under a very big ship. [16:02] Ow! [16:02] GH: Heh. :) [16:02] Wolf's Rain is an anime from your country, tss tss :p :) [16:03] a beautiful and poetic anime... [16:03] Yes, and like every japanese i see every anime production that is ever made, right. [16:03] hey, I think... you who speak japanese and english, you should help team to subtitle Animes ^^ [16:03] naah but you should know things which are really well done ^^ [16:04] if you want, you can dwld some on my ftp :p [16:04] Aren't you going to ask me if I know the Kobayashis in Tokyo? It is so close to where I live. [16:04] who/what are the kobayashis ? ^^ [16:04] naah... mako mako [16:04] It is a family name. [16:04] * Trax (gwgw@modemcable070.152-200-24.hull.mc.videotron.ca) has joined #pvpexalted [16:04] 'lo [16:04] Hello, Trax. [16:04] lo [16:04] hi trax [16:04] hi [16:05] ha! I was right. no exalted in the guild. [16:05] ? [16:05] Yes. (almost) All mortal. [16:05] even more to suggest that the Nexians are mortals as well.... [16:05] ? [16:06] you mean no DB ? [16:06] A few on hire. [16:06] maybe there are some Solars who worked before their exaltation, and continue [16:06] Even Celestials (anathema9 can get jobs in the Guild if they do not make too much notice of themselves. [16:07] well, yea, it's hard to tell someone they can't be in the guild because they're anathema when noone knows thery are anathema. [16:07] * DarthSWG is now known as TomAway [16:08] hmmm is there some organisation whose goal is to gather occult knowledge and informations about the 1st age and stuff like this ? [16:08] Officially, no. [16:09] But the Cult of the Illuminated is likely a good example. [16:09] hmm [16:10] hmmm [16:10] a character could be the master of such an organisation... [16:10] with backing 5, contacts 3/4, influence 2/3, ressources 4/5... [16:10] (waw) [16:11] (that's expensive ^^) [16:11] but do you need contacts if you have backing... [16:13] hmmm.. the Liberating Ones are perfect for my next game... [16:14] Liberating Ones..? [16:14] Uhhh... [16:14] * Mayumi cannot quite remember. [16:14] The freed slaves in Nexus? [16:14] indeed. [16:14] if you go that way, of course. [16:14] you might go west instead of east. [16:14] Hmmm... vacation in nexus for Cicada..? [16:15] ..... something liek that ..... [16:15] Not that being freed (again) would help her neurotic slave-complex. :) [16:16] Anyway, I think I will go to bed and try to sleep a little before the game. [16:16] The better to DOOOOOMINATE you, my dear... :) [16:17] riiight ^_^ [16:17] goodnight [16:17] Hey, hey, you will see me again in a few hours! [16:17] if you remember to wake up ^_^ [16:17] How about "sleep well, meet fresh and rested."? [16:18] ah, but you are going to sleep and it is night time. little matter how long it is that you actually sleep... [16:18] Yea, yea... *sigh* [16:18] Well, I will be back later. [16:18] i could always borrow a line from hitoshi if you prefer ^_^ [16:18] cya then. [16:18] bye may [16:18] * Mayumi (Hikari@62.79.85.199.ppp1-4.alb.tiscali.dk) Quit (Quit: She rides the Wind. Singing her wind-songs.) [16:19] * Trax (gwgw@modemcable070.152-200-24.hull.mc.videotron.ca) has left #pvpexalted [16:38] hmmm linguistics charms are mega giga useful ^^ [16:38] yea [16:44] bog, when does the next game take place? ^^ [16:45] and no, it's not on the topic [16:46] lol ^^ [16:49] * Bog_Mod isnt sure. He will have it up tonight though. Near when GHs game ends after I get back from work. [16:52] which ability would you use to draw or copy an illustration ? [16:55] I'd say craft... [16:56] but linguistics has charms for it [16:56] yep, that's why I'm a bit confused ^^ [17:04] nah... craft isn't for art. [17:06] bye [17:06] * Bog_Mod (Bog@24.68.109.83) Quit (Quit: You killed it. With one spell! Umm...damn, now I know how Jydan feels.) [17:08] performance maybe ? [17:08] nah... definately linguistics. [17:09] but 'world within a picture style' which obviously creates pictures is craft... [17:11] and you can definately use craft to make artisitc things, so why not draw good stuff, especially since craft would include some drawing abiltiy, if only for plans [17:12] * GoldenH shrugs. maybe there should be an "art" ability. [17:13] a pictural art ^^ [17:14] because craft is some kind of art of objects, and performance an oral art [17:14] humm performance = body art... [17:17] craft - practical/physical, art = cultural/mental, performance = physical/personal? [17:17] oulah [17:17] that becomes complex ^^ [17:17] not really.... [17:18] come up with anything, lets see if we can fit it into one of those three categories. [17:18] performance = music. Music is cultural/mental [17:18] hmm.. true. [17:18] but performance is more like performance art. [17:18] and art is like crafting art [17:18] and poetry is cultural and performance too [17:18] and crafting is just being able to build stuff. [17:18] hum [17:18] well, making poetry would be art/linguistics and reading it would be performance. [17:18] so drawing would be craft/performance : the higher ^^ [17:19] no, it'd just be art. [17:19] making the easel/brush/paper would be craft [17:19] bah [17:19] it doesn't make any sense for craft to be artistic ^_^ [17:19] I don't agree [17:19] crafting is some kind of art [17:19] when you create plans of a house... [17:20] well, it's craft [17:20] that's craft. [17:20] but the house, the sculptures, the design, is some kind of art [17:20] yea, but it's still primarily craft. [17:20] you have interior decorators - those are artisans, not craftsmen. [17:20] when you make a sculpture, I would use craft. and that's art [17:21] yea, but it'd either be a higher difficulty or you could make two rolls. [17:21] you could make a sculpture purely with art but it wouldn't last ^_^ [17:21] hmm [17:22] I'd say abilities often superpose [17:23] so 1 roll should be enough [17:23] sure, but it'd be higher difficulty to make a good pot AND have it look awsome. [17:23] I would allow craft or performance for a draw [17:24] and performance or linguistics for a poem [17:24] of course ^^ [17:24] as for everything ^^ [17:25] so you stunt your roll, and then with extra dice you can make very good stuff ^^ [17:25] but you can roll art too ^_^ [17:27] hm [17:27] which caste would this ability be ? [17:27] art is too vague [17:27] night. [17:28] i think... [17:28] good night ^^ [17:28] that's where lingustics is. [17:28] ah [17:28] caste nights [17:28] sorry [17:28] hummmm night ? art ?... [17:28] night? linguistics? [17:28] no [17:28] linguistics is eclipse [17:28] ah. [17:28] well, eclipse then. [17:28] linguistic is eclipse ^^ [17:29] or twilight :p [17:29] (craft) [17:29] or zenith (performance) [17:29] whatever it is. [17:29] naaah art is too much vague [17:29] craft or perf or ling are enough and cover all kind of arts [17:30] but you can't be a total-artist [17:30] hmmm sacred tongue... [17:31] you can always just use the abilities only for art not other stuff [17:31] well, that's a good point. [17:31] performance is a performace, for it to be art, you just have to do it well. [17:32] but things like painting.... those are iffy [17:32] should be in linguistics, clearly. [17:33] hum [17:33] hmm I do tend to view it as craft, but I can see why linguistics is good for it too [17:34] i have difficulties to see how somebody who knows talking many languages can draw an aquarell [17:34] I would agree with kraken for craft too, but I would allow Performance too [17:35] well, say Kanji is more art than anything else. [17:35] and linguistics in Exalted is more pictoral than pingin. [17:36] hmmm that's not really clear, damned screwed rules ^^ [17:36] well, the three realms are. lunar is. [17:37] ? [17:37] there are pictoral languages [17:38] hmm [17:39] yes, but knowing some pictoral letters and drawing the scene of the war between a lunar tribe and the realm under the cold rain of a full-moon night... that's not the same thing ^^ [17:39] no... but they're both linguistics ^_^ [17:39] hmmm [17:39] especially when you think of barbarian languages... [17:39] I mean, you gotta be able to do cave art ^_^ [17:39] egyptianish art... [17:40] but that's not linguistics [17:40] yes it is. [17:40] linguistics are oral speaking too [17:40] barbarians don't have writings [17:40] that's all [17:40] all barbarians have writings. [17:40] they have paintings, okay, but that's not a language [17:40] it's just not considered writing by civilized peoples. [17:41] you only need one dot of lore to write, but you don't write with lore, you write with linguistics. [17:42] barbarians need 2 dot in lore to write ^^ [17:42] ah lore, I forgot this one [17:42] lore is knowledge [17:42] hmm [17:43] I would say if you have lore 0 but ling 1, you can write & read a language [17:43] naah [17:43] that would be more logical [17:43] lore 0 ling 1 means you can talk to teh language but not write it. [17:43] nah ling is just speaking, unless you know your letters [17:43] but there's differents alphabets I guess [17:43] nah... linguistics is far more oral than writing. [17:43] at least, IME ^_~ [17:44] if you learn another language... you need to know the partical letters of it [17:44] no you don't. [17:44] so, if linguistics is oral [17:44] you can't use it to draw :p [17:44] toc na :p [17:44] no.. I was speaking in english, not white-wolf speak :P [17:45] tss tss, na na, you said it yourself ^^ [17:45] but the problem is, if ling is oral, why so much charms are about writings and readings ? :-/ [17:45] no, i said right. [17:45] learning language is mostly oral. you just need a dot of lore to understand the written part. [17:46] but lore doesn't tell you how to read. [17:46] because lore is completely abstract ^_^ [17:46] writing a book of lore is linguistics. [17:46] so you need to learn the alphabets [17:46] but [17:46] there are several alphabets [17:46] no but. language is the medium of transfer of lore between individuals [17:46] so you can read/write 1 language by dot in lore, and speak 1 language by dot in ling ? ^^ [17:47] well, I might allow them to read old realm very badly with lore. [17:47] but if they want to be able to do anything more than know what X symbol means, they'd have to use linguistics. [17:47] plus, they'd miss out on the little, important things ^_^ [17:48] heh [17:50] true..; [17:52] hmmm my twilight sorcerer/past explorer has 0 in athletics, and can't fight even against a *normal* rabbit [17:52] heh [17:52] and he doesn't have any charm or spell of fight ^^ [17:52] in fact, he sucks ^^ [18:02] heh. [18:02] pick a spell. one spell ^_^ [18:04] hmm [18:04] obsidian butterflies ? :)) [18:05] * GoldenH is now known as Storyteller [18:06] * Storyteller is now known as GoldenH [18:06] * GoldenH is now known as Storyteller [18:07] * Storyteller is now known as GoldenH [18:08] ?? [18:08] schizophrenia crisis ? :) [18:08] naaah [18:09] <*Storyteller*> "He knows too much. Kill him." [18:09] naaah [18:09] lol [18:09] <*Storyteller*> "Kill him!" [18:09] later. [18:09] * *Storyteller* -grumble- [18:09] yea, yea, whatever. [18:20] * Kraken (~a@stott1.demon.co.uk) Quit (Ping timeout) [18:22] * Fiat (Fiat@dsc01-ati-ga-2-113.rasserver.net) has joined #pvpexalted [18:24] * Fiat gets along well with people, likes to co-operate with others, and kill Anathema. Doesn't seem that rare to me. [18:25] lol so you agree with me ^^ [18:25] wb. [18:25] * GoldenH was thinking. how do you like the twilight caste anima power? [18:26] * Fiat thinks. 5 motes, roll essence, sux take away damage? [18:27] Never understood it. [18:27] when you have 6 essence, that's good [18:27] but when you have 2 or 3... hmmm [18:27] Solars don't have good soak adders, and that's 2 sux if you're lucky. Why not get soak instead? [18:27] * GoldenH shrugs. it's been very kind to me whenever i've played a Twilight. [18:28] It's gotta be a hell of a lot cheaper than popping off 5 motes every time you get thwacked. [18:28] I think an anima power making easier spells or occult stuff owuld have been wiser and cooler [18:28] * GoldenH thinks it would probably be better for the Dawns, yes. [18:29] It's nice that it's starmetal, but come on. 5 motes for an effect that can easily fail and take away no HL? And for TWILIGHT, of all things? Bizarre. [18:29] * Fiat nods. The anima effects need a little shuffling. [18:29] lol [18:29] of course, it's fine how it is, so you won't see me bothering to change. [18:29] I'd probably give it to dawn and let them keep the scary, since the scary is matched by Zeniths and surpassed by a charm anyway. [18:30] and twilights are scholars... so an anima power about soaking can be useful... but isn't really interestind for the concept ^^ [18:30] Not sure what to give twilight that wouldn't twink them out, though. [18:30] If you buff sorcery too much, it makes them overly reliant on it and makes sorcery even scarier than it is now. [18:30] cool ^^ [18:30] i was thinking the ability to speak any language for a scene. [18:30] the point of the soak is that if you don't take damage it doesn't interrupt your spell [18:31] * Fiat 'd buff their learning abilities. [18:31] nope, language stuff is more for Eclipse... [18:31] yea, but it makes more sense for the twilights to read and stuff. [18:31] Easier to learn the tricks of the enemy, yes, the language thing is good too. [18:31] yea, read, not speak... [18:31] maybe understanding how an artifact or magical enigma works, for 10 ess [18:31] Basically, allowing you to add essence in dice to something important you've seen before. [18:32] eh.. dice adding anima powers make me sad. [18:32] Like a combo, or running into old realm and only knowing a few key phrases, things like that. [18:32] so many cooler things to do with charms than add more dices. [18:32] * Fiat shrugs. I know it's not very cool mechanically, but I like the idea of it. [18:33] or linking their mind to some massive data base and looking for an information, once a day [18:33] Besides, it's not like any of the animas don't boil down into mechanics anyway. Zenith? Adds dices. [18:33] Dawn? Roll presence. [18:33] Night? Adds diff to stealth. [18:33] sure, rolling stuff is good, but adding dice is bad. [18:34] * Fiat shrugs. There's no other good way to replicate their ability to adapt to new information learned during a scene. [18:34] just have it work. [18:34] What about, for example, the combo thing? [18:34] you don't combo things with animas. [18:34] that's just silly. [18:35] * Fiat mentioned noticing a combo and using it to your advantage. [18:35] If you just have it work, how does it factor in with stuff like that? [18:35] what? If you can read any language for a scene, you just do that. [18:35] I could see rolling some dice to see if you can read a language. [18:35] "Aha! i see you have studied at the Iron Arm school of brawling. Free HGDs for me!" [18:35] but I couldn't see adding your essence to your Lore and rolling INT + Lore to read it. [18:36] * Fiat didn't say anything about that. There are times when quick reactions and dice rolling are called for. You're familiar with this sort of trap, so you improvise a way out. It's a situation that calls for dice. [18:37] why would you improvise a way out? just roll essence to detect it; maybe a secondary power is that once you detect it, you can make it burn up, like the Zenith power. [18:37] Adding some sort of dice bonus is perfectly within rights for that, and I would like to keep the twilight anima from pigeonholing into passive scholars. [18:37] * Fiat shrugs. Because Twilights are thinkers, GH. They don't just "make stuff burn up". [18:38] you wouldn't use an anima to add dice to larcenyt and then roll dex + larceny to roll it up. [18:38] I was thinking more for using that power for a night caste. [18:38] why would la twilight care about traps? [18:38] Because they're delvers into tombs, seekers of knowledge? [18:38] sure, but they're not thieves. [18:38] Doesn't matter. [18:38] if they get hit by a trap, they get hit by a trap. [18:38] It's not about traps. [18:39] improvision is too wide ranged anyhow. [18:39] You're confusing the example with the effect. [18:39] maybe each solar should have his own specific anima power ^^ [18:39] "yeas,so like, I've fought guys like this before.. add dice to melee!" [18:39] Nah. It'd be a little more specific. [18:39] it's like whispers. [18:39] guys like this, no. [18:40] Those same guys? Sure. [18:40] Guys who trained under the same master? Sure. [18:40] eh. way too powerful for anima power. [18:41] Night caste anima hides essence spending. [18:41] i'd have to give Dawns the ability to make extra attacks against extras, orsomething. [18:41] Eclipse caste lets you learn any charm you want, calls down the wrath of the gods. [18:41] Zenith can smite things with unsoakable agg. [18:42] You're going to begrude the Twilights a minor bonus like that? [18:42] yea [18:42] * Fiat thought you liked twilights. Guess I was wrong. [18:43] * GoldenH likes twilights. [18:43] Yet something that puts them on par with other exalts where anima effects are concerned is bad. [18:43] it hardly puts them on par. [18:44] The ability is far more useful in a wide range of settings, but is hardly as powerful in any single one. That seems fair enough. [18:44] "ooh, free dice adder that works for every ability and is better than the best sidereal dice adder!" [18:44] Who said free? [18:44] You've still got to pay to activate it. [18:44] does it cost XP? no. free. [18:44] It's a moment of clarity sorta thing. [18:45] * Fiat shrugs. And? That's like claiming the charms you get at start are going to ruin things because they're free. [18:45] what, next you don't get any backgrounds at char start? [18:45] Oh no! Free artifact! [18:46] it is not similiar in any way. [18:46] It's clearly similar. [18:46] You spend motes, you get an effect. Charm. [18:46] You spend motes, you get an effect. Anima. [18:46] You commit motes, you get an effect. Artifact. [18:47] yesh [18:47] All of them available at start, for get this... no XP cost! [18:48] eh. [18:48] * Jydan (Jydan@0-2pool133-99.nas3.roanoke2.va.us.da.qwest.net) has joined #pvpexalted [18:48] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Jydan [18:48] It still costs motes, it takes an appropriate reasoning to use, and it plays off the thing that twilights are entirely built around. [18:49] * Jydan didn't get his outfit together. :( [18:49] * GoldenH shrugs. whatever. anyhow, i figured it was strong enough to throw in a charm; seemed preferable to extra health levels. [18:49] what outfit? [18:49] For the Goth Club. [18:49] *shrug* Still useless for my purposes. [18:49] It's even less effective than normal soak. [18:50] hii jy [18:50] ok, so lets say you get extra health levels. [18:50] Hi Keyn. [18:50] what happens when the charm ends? [18:50] you die ^^ [18:50] Ah, now that is the question. [18:51] * Fiat was pondering keeping half, or some sort of slowed assimilation of the damage. I'm aware it's easy to overload your normal HL. [18:51] you have to rest for a long time [18:51] * Jydan just just got online. He was playing a game. [18:51] like 4 days a extra health level damaged [18:51] but you don't get the damages, you're just very tired [18:52] ? [18:52] There are so few impermanent HL adders it's hard to get precedent. [18:52] * GoldenH would note that when I say MA extra health levels, you must remember that I count specialties ^_^ so as long as you were kickin' you'd get the extra health level. [18:52] yea, no precedent. [18:52] ... No. [18:52] That doesn't even make any sense. [18:52] heh. [18:52] why not? courage of the tiger? get the blood pumpin'? [18:52] Because it's ridiculous. [18:53] mmmm, ridiculous [18:53] "Wait! I'm not incap yet, I can.. I can kick the air! Yes!" [18:53] heh [18:53] Even at MA HL, it's still fairly pathetic, though. [18:54] * GoldenH shrugs. 8HL. [18:54] are you going to use those specialties for something else? [18:54] I already have in that case. [18:54] Kicking. [18:54] ok. [18:55] I'll just use the aura of invincibility rationale. [18:55] Which, as seen, doesn't work. [18:55] it works fine, aura of invincibility makes even less sense "Oh god you're shiney and i missed! but you took a health level because the shineyness that made me flinch still hurt you!" [18:55] * Fiat had at one point planned to throw the other two into cross-MA styles for the archery art, but that idea ended up falling by the wayside. [18:55] Aura of invincibility doesn't turn on and off. [18:56] The specialty does. [18:56] Hence, sometimes you're incap, or - 4, or whatever, and sometimes you're not. [18:56] eh. we both know that you're going to be kicking someone, something, every turn [18:56] * Fiat has a bow, you know. [18:57] well, if you're using the bow, you don't need HL anyhow. [18:57] * Fiat can always use HL. [18:57] I have never gotten the opportunity to stand way out of range and shoot at people. [18:57] * Fiat has always been using the bow in close-quarters, and usually that means people are trying to hit me. [18:57] eh, you could have a few times. you are just Air Jynaru :p [18:58] I don't know about you, but when people are trying to hit me, it's nice to know I'm not going to go down as easily. [18:58] yea, 'tis nice. [18:58] * Fiat finds ess + MA easier just because counting specs gets wonky. [18:59] At least they're not WoD style, though. [18:59] * GoldenH sighs. but then i could give something like that to Bloom. [18:59] "Erm... what do I reroll?" "I dunno." [18:59] hmm, going to sleep [18:59] You already could have. You're the ST. [19:00] see ya guys ^^ [19:00] well, I give him plenty of things. [19:00] For all I know, he's got ten ox-bodies since the last fight. [19:00] cya Keyn. [19:00] * Keyn`Sha is now known as Keyn`Dodo [19:00] heh. something like that. [19:00] "Awgh. I got beat up by a terrestrial!" [19:00] you know you were never supposed to fight him alone. [19:01] * Fiat shrugs. I can take him with luck and preperation, I think. [19:01] perhaps.... [19:01] But yes, I am aware of that. However, Jynaru notes that he was the one left standing before, and only Tala has truly improved the ass-kick that much. [19:02] * GoldenH rubs his chin. How about this - if you have more L than you do health levels, it rolls around to become Agg, and you go unconscious. [19:02] Friends are nice, but it's nicer when you don't get them killed. [19:02] I am intersted to see how well Tala fights. [19:02] I haven't got a character sheet from her in... [19:02] * Fiat blinks. [19:02] 3 months [19:02] What the hell does that do for me? [19:02] when the charm ends? [19:03] ... Wonderful. Now it won't even HEAL right? [19:03] * GoldenH points at Cicada. [19:03] she can heal agg easily enough. [19:03] How nice. [19:03] I'm not going to be where she CAN heal me any time soon. [19:04] * GoldenH shrugs. i'm coming up on a big block of a year-long downtime. [19:04] I mean, sweet jesus, AGG? [19:04] would you rather be at like a huge - penalty? [19:04] or what, you just want all 9 health levels to dissapear into thin air. [19:04] * Fiat 's paying an HL so I can turn into Jyn, master of the Tiger-style coma? [19:04] heh [19:05] * Fiat mentioned before some sort of slow re-appearance. [19:05] * GoldenH doesn't understand. [19:05] As in the effects wearing off slowly. [19:05] Coming down off the adrenaline high. [19:05] what so as long as you have more health levels than you normally can handle you still get the - to + conversion? [19:05] * Fiat has 18 HL, right? Say I've taken ten. That doesn't quite fill up my normal HL. [19:06] Because it goes across. [19:06] * GoldenH rubs his head. you want to do it the War Anima way. [19:06] When the charm goes away, keep track of how many disappear. Once every interval, add a damage on until the ones that got disappeared have been inflicted. [19:07] That at least gives you some time to stagger off to seek medical help that isn't "I have every charm in the medicine tree". [19:08] so basically you'd be incapped for a long long time. [19:08] are are you thinking of -2/4 for a long long time [19:09] Depending on the damage. [19:09] * Fiat 'll demonstrate. [19:09] -0 -0 [19:09] -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 [19:09] -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 [19:09] -4 -4 [19:09] 18 HL. [19:09] Take ten away. [19:10] * Fiat 's now filled the second minus two. [19:10] See that third -2? That's not filled. [19:10] * GoldenH leans back [19:10] Now, what happens when the -1s and the -0 go away? Count them. 4 HL. [19:11] You'll inflict 1 HL every set interval until you've inflicted 4 HL. [19:11] * Fiat missed the two incaps I have... ooh. That's bizarre. Maybe turn that last incap into -4 or something. [19:12] Honestly, I don't know how that's going to work mechanically. But it seems like a fitting idea. [19:12] hmm. I see why you wanted a set number of HL now. what would the 10th do? [19:12] Actually, 9 was just what essence+MA added up to. [19:13] * GoldenH shrugs. [19:13] Kas was the one who said a set number would be good, but that was before the discussion on how the extras worked. [19:13] two incaps are good, that way if bloom hits you hard, you don't die immidately. [19:13] * TomAway is now known as DarthTom [19:13] * tanatael (Junkyard@80.133.170.167) has joined #pvpexalted [19:13] * GoldenH doubts you got the sense to stay down at -4 ^_^ [19:13] If I take the -2, when the stuff goes away, it doesn't really add on much. [19:13] hi [19:13] Hrmm... [19:13] yo [19:14] Wait. FLIP them. [19:14] 'ello, you two. [19:14] Make the added HL fill up first... [19:14] us TWO? [19:14] that's usually how it works. [19:14] [20:12] * TomAway is now known as DarthTom [19:14] [20:13] * tanatael has joined #pvpexalted [19:14] of course, they'd be -0's then. [19:14] You both returned at roughlt the same time. [19:14] *coguh* +0s [19:14] Heh. [19:14] ah [19:15] But then how do I have an extra incap? [19:15] ^^ [19:15] You know me and my doubling thing. [19:15] * GoldenH shrugs. you're all insane. [19:15] I don't want to ACTUALLY double that because that's just scary. [19:15] what r u talking about? [19:15] * GoldenH shrugs. you could always just stock up on ox-bodies. [19:15] * Fiat only has one ox-body, and I realy don't want to go uber-twink and take 4 more and then throw the charm up. *shudders* [19:16] and i'm probably going to give 20 xp tonight ^_^ [19:16] 36 HL! [19:16] Whee! [19:16] * Fiat slaps self. [19:16] hence I will stab you with DEATH if you took this and then more HLs :p [19:16] eh, as a set number of nine, it's not as bad. [19:16] Then if I maxed out ox bodies, I'd have... 26. [19:16] 9 is like.. 5 ox bodies. [19:17] suddenly you are lunarjynaru. [19:17] 10 is 5 DB ox bodies, but they're permanent, and don't take an HL to activate. [19:17] heh [19:17] without the oversoak and regen (that costs more anyhow) [19:17] Neither is there ten charms in a tree before them, much less Ess 4. [19:17] * Fiat ponders the endurace. [19:17] If you take specs, do those count for ox-bodies? [19:18] * GoldenH shrugs. I was going to make that heath level be bashing but now i'm not so sure. [19:18] * Fiat isn't sure on that point. [19:18] only if they're specifically for ox bodies. [19:18] you wanna really have OX body? I hate this charm even if it's for it's name only [19:18] has to be specialty: ox body [19:18] Ah. You couldn't say, for example, charms? [19:18] no [19:18] * Fiat nods. Was wondering. [19:18] Hadn't really thought about that. [19:19] * GoldenH is displeased by the thought of 9 HL. I am even more displeased by the idea of.. 7+9+10+6 [19:19] I ponwered redoing the Clint Eastwood charm, but that one is a little too scary. [19:19] don't make me add it up. [19:19] * Fiat shrugs. 32. [19:20] Hey, it's not like I'd be doing base 23 HL and then doubling it to 46. ^_^ [19:20] Hmm... note to self. 46 HL...... [19:21] * GoldenH sends fiat to doom [19:21] * Fiat does a little dance while Bloom stabs him, waiting for bloom to tire out. ;p [19:21] be careful. you activated my munchkin sense. [19:21] * GoldenH will now utterly defeat you. [19:21] Ok, how about the clint eastwood effect? [19:21] what? [19:21] I see, the talk's about something overly insane again [19:22] If they don't break 4L, ignore it. [19:22] what you want oversoak now? [19:22] 4L being in thise case essenceL. [19:22] that was a cool charm [19:22] * tanatael goes away again, since he's depressed about even a thought of 46 HL [19:22] * Fiat shrugs. I built it for clint eastwood that Ressar faced. [19:23] I remembered the "You don't hit Clint Eastwood" rule, so the charm gave him a chance to suck it up and hit back. [19:23] * GoldenH is not interested where it came from. my game is several order of magnitudes lower in the power strata than yours. [19:23] WAAAAH! you cleave something like that in two and it still grins and whacks you back [19:23] ^_^ [19:23] No.... [19:23] Cleaving someone in two deals more than 4L. [19:24] In that case, damage is resolved normally. [19:24] I mean 46 HL [19:24] Well, you're hardly cleaving it in two if you don't kill it, right? [19:24] is this rolled or raw? [19:24] * GoldenH cradles the stick of hitting. [19:24] Successes. [19:25] It basically replaces the need for a bunch of HL. [19:25] well, you TRY to cleave it in twon, but your axe gets struck in it's shoulder... [19:25] no successes! especially not with all those HLs. [19:25] and Ox bodies. [19:25] and ubersoak [19:25] * GoldenH 's still waiting for ubersoak. I know it's comin'! [19:25] *gets stuck [19:26] * Fiat points at that. [19:26] BM announced the next game time? [19:26] he will announce it after my game. [19:26] I'm suggesting that as a way to replace the extra HL, since they're all wonky. [19:26] and that would be, GH? [19:26] 7 hours [19:27] The that being "It basically replaces the need for a bunch of HL." [19:27] pls someone tell him I won't be avaiable on sunday, so if he can, he should place it on monday^^ [19:27] If we can't get a charm based on HL to work right and be mutually agreeable, maybe some other way of keeping the theme would work. I think that might manage to do it without being horrifically munchie. [19:27] use /msg memoserve send bog mod [19:28] and it does??? [19:28] * GoldenH shrugs. ignoring everything under 4HL is a hella lot more powerful than 9 HLs [19:28] it lets you send him a messaga. [19:28] I'm going to have to pull out my scary combos of doom after all. [19:28] * Fiat shrugs. [19:28] The twilight thing did it sometimes. [19:28] * GoldenH is not confident of *anybodies* ability to roll 5+ damage successes. [19:29] Besides, he's a freaking solar with, as you said, scary comboes of doom. [19:29] yea but it costs 5 motes each time. [19:29] * Fiat shrugs. You were willing to add it in on an HL adder. [19:29] Basically, I'm burning an HL. It's an ess 4, skill 5 charm. [19:29] rolling four dice is a lot more fickle than flat out four successes. [19:30] * Fiat knows. Ess 4, skill 5, ten pre-reqs. [19:30] * GoldenH shrugs. a lot of charms liek those are pansy-ass. [19:30] It has to do SOMETHING to make it worth the HL and essence expenditure. [19:30] maybe 2L soak isn't it. [19:30] being able to take all of one extra hit isn't it. [19:30] * GoldenH would have made them all -2 health levels, in any case... [19:31] * Fiat shrugs. It would have been gimped anyway. [19:31] No way I'd ever survive using it. [19:31] Once again, not worth my time. [19:32] * Fiat 'd get more use out of a charm that lets me blow smoke rings for 30 essence. [19:33] ok, bye all [19:33] * tanatael (Junkyard@80.133.170.167) Quit (Quit: ) [19:34] Compendium broke the bandwidth limit again. [19:34] yeap [19:34] * Fiat doesn't see the point of even trying to make a custom charm now. They don't do anything worthwhile. [19:35] heh [19:35] no charm does anything worthwhile. [19:35] * Fiat shrugs. Swallows Defend the nest does. [19:35] The forms do. [19:36] yea, but they don't give you huge lumps of anything. [19:36] 5d fortitude, the performance charm that makes fights look fake, some craft charms, etc. [19:36] SSB doesn't give you a lump of damage? [19:36] 5fold bulwark doesn't give you a lump of parries? [19:37] * Fiat never noticed Hungry Tiger didn't give you a lump of damage, nor that really, lightning speed didn't give you a lump of movement. [19:37] * GoldenH shrugs. they're not really a big deal. [19:37] Hey, how about that Invisibly Hidden Chakram Method? [19:37] Doesn't really add attacks at all, does it? [19:38] * GoldenH shrugs. what, wuold you even really be satisfied with 9HL? [19:39] I think that nine HL lets me take a couple of hits, and thus increases my survivability by probably a turn of fighting. [19:39] what happens when I give you that big, 20xp lump at the end of tongiths game, because it's stupid to give out XP during a fight scene that lasts multiple sessions? [19:39] 4 HL? Probably not going to last a turn. [19:40] and then I do that a few times and suddenly you have 100 xp that you are going to spend boosting these custom charms? [19:40] * Fiat dunnoes. I probably get some medicine charms so I don't die. [19:41] suddenly you have the entire medicine tree and can heal agg reflexively and can do other crazy things I can't even concieve of. [19:41] I have a couple of specs to buy, probably some lore to raise so I can get the WP for Ess charm. [19:41] What, like I couldn't abuse it anyway? [19:41] * GoldenH is sure you could abuse it. [19:41] Van's got 20 xp, and I'm not sure where to spend it [19:42] Defense from anathema method + 23 HL + artifact armor shooting 5 shots a turn at 21 dice? [19:42] * GoldenH shrugs. is that it? have you all really topped out your chars and don't want any more XP? [19:42] * Fiat can do that, you know. And stack on a few more anti-anathema talismans like I already have, maybe get up to -10 dice or so for Solars. [19:42] I'm not gonna complain about more XP...I'm jsut trying to figur eout where to spend it [19:43] * Fiat can spend a lot of it. [19:43] the issue is that all the Vanal-y stuff has already been bought [19:43] The current problem is that in character, doing things like bumping up gardening won't fit because I have no life until bloom stops trying to eat my soul. [19:43] you see I don't really want to have to cheat any moer than I have to do. [19:43] cheat ? [19:43] * GoldenH doesn't cheat ^_^ [19:44] oh [19:44] wait ! [19:44] I know what he cna buy ! [19:44] Occult ! [19:44] Vanal? Learning Sorcery? Oh my. [19:44] no, not sorcery [19:44] Ohh... yeah. [19:44] making you massively hard to kill and capable of killing bloom in one turn just makes things really difficult to me. [19:44] You're thinking of the summoning circle. [19:44] * Fiat can kill Bloom in a turn...? [19:44] I'm thinking of many things, summoning circle, shakel, etc. [19:45] oh [19:45] * GoldenH shrugs. how much essence do you think the guy has? [19:45] and a coupla linguistics charms... [19:45] Maybe if he botches and I've broken his spells and persistants and have some ess left for the multi-attack and I don't botch. [19:45] you know that that attack charm will literally mean that I can never use a non-instant charm. [19:46] * Fiat sighs. You're neglecting the point. Jynaru's mission in life is to kill Bloom right now. [19:46] He's a baaaad motherfragger. [19:46] I am supposed to have him ignore that IC? [19:46] Of course I'm building him to be a nasty son of a bitch in combat. [19:46] * GoldenH is not neglecting the point. I don't care what jynaru's mission in life is. I care that I don't want to suddenly have the fight being Bloom and a bazillion demons [19:46] GH...I'm gonna buy 2 dots occult, and wind-carried words technique [19:46] sounds good. [19:47] then what am I supposed to do? [19:47] Just let the XP sit there and not try to improve myself? [19:47] and I've got 5 left [19:47] * GoldenH shrugs. maybe I shouldn't give out so much XP. [19:47] * Fiat hasn't spent XP for a long time. [19:47] Well, I did last time, it' just that it had been so long I had enough left for 2 charms. [19:48] Really, what am I supposed to do, GH? [19:48] Just ignore the in-character reasoning? [19:48] * GoldenH shrugs. [19:48] You have given me a villain. An anathema villain, no less. [19:49] From day one, I have been a Paragon Wyld Hunter. [19:49] I am sure you can think of *something* better to do than sit on a rock and twiddle your thumbs thinking of something better to do than kill anathema. [19:49] to do to kill anathema [19:49] anyways GH...for the record...we've got about 350xp EACH [19:49] * Fiat shrugs. I'm in prison. What, I'm supposed to compose poetry? [19:49] we can't help BUT be lethal [19:50] * GoldenH doesn't mind being lethal. [19:50] Of course my thoughts are going to turn to being difficult to put down on the run. [19:50] Obviously, I'm going to seek an effective way to get the hell out of there. [19:50] When I do? [19:50] I just think you're plenty lethal enough. and while I don't mind becoming a little more lethal, focusing whole-heartedly on being lethal makes me sad, and consider giving less XP. [19:50] For the record, Van wasn't min-maxed overmuch...aside form my efforts to give him as many HLs as possible because, well...it fits the char [19:50] He's got freaking Kylara and Cicada? [19:50] * Fiat is supposed to ignore that now? [19:51] * DarthTom honestly isn't sure how van could be more lethal, to be honest [19:51] I'm sure you'll get Kylara out of there, somehow. [19:51] No, I have to get ready to deal with that. [19:51] * GoldenH figures i'll see tonight how much Xp everyone else wants. If everyone is happy then no more XP. [19:51] I don't begrudge you these two charms. [19:51] * Fiat 's path has always been one of lethality towards Anathema. [19:51] I begrudge what you are capable of doing with the XP and downtime I was planning on handing out. [19:52] I see no other option beyond continuing down that path in the face of the plot. [19:52] Which, as you've noticed I'm sure, is slowly winding down to the ultimate fight. [19:52] * GoldenH shrugs. then backtrack with the XP. see what you think he always should have had but you never bought up, because you've been too busy focusing on powering up for the ultimate fight. [19:53] * Fiat can't justify that IC. [19:53] There's various stuff I could increase. Hell, I bought two different types of craft. [19:53] if there's none of that, then you're plenty powered up already and you can train all you want IC and not really become more lethal. [19:53] Performance. [19:53] * Fiat bought up COMPASSION ferchrissake. [19:53] * GoldenH will just keep handing out the 5xp/session and have the same downtime. [19:54] investigation, larceny, etc. [19:54] * Fiat 's done a lot that isn't pure lethality. [19:54] indeed, this is good. so you think that there is nothign besides his fighting skills left to advance? [19:54] But dammit, when the world revolves around taking someone down, I'm going to build towards taking them down. [19:54] And it does. He's got tentacles in the freaking deliberative! [19:55] * Fiat just spent a month palling around with Cicada, and now I'm leaving her with the anathema soul-freller bastard. [19:55] This is not a time for working on my gardening skills or being a better disguise person. [19:55] This is the time to get ready to take him out. [19:56] * GoldenH shrugs. ok then. [19:56] * Fiat is aware of the difficulty. [19:56] You're down to 4 players, since Tala's sort of slowly dropped out. [19:56] But honestly, what am I supposed to be working on IC? [19:56] you can have both charms as you like; write them out. no more custom charms. [19:57] train for other combat things that will be useful. [19:57] * Fiat wrote the charms to at least try to keep it thematic. [19:57] I am pleased that you trying to keep it thematic. [19:57] There's nothing left in combat that wil be useful that won't turn out wonkish. [19:57] I just am worried about the power-factor that I am going to have to pull out. [19:57] * Fiat knows. I looked before working on unrelenting fury of the beast. [19:58] so please do not complain about what Bloom is capable of. [19:58] If I go down the endurance and resistance, I can be horrifically nasty there. [19:58] If I go down the path of dodge, I can be almost worse with minor dabblings due to counterattacks. [19:58] * LeffeKnight (~plooky@203.213.61.40) has joined #pvpexalted [19:58] * GoldenH has it worked out. the only question is "Can I handle it"? [19:59] and I've never handled something like this before. [19:59] so I have to ask myself - do I feel lucky? hell no. [19:59] * Fiat shrugs. [19:59] it's freaking summer and I feel like i'm in school studying for this fight ^_^ [19:59] Give me some sort of reason I can go with to work on other things. [20:00] Why is Jynaru happy with what he has in the face of super-villain? [20:00] everyone takes a break. Vanal has to work on getting the legions together. Kylara will be coming back with you, one way or another. [20:00] * Fiat doesn't want to make the fight ridiculous. [20:00] I just don't see anything right nw that gives me the pressing drive to work on other things. [20:00] There will be a trip to chanos. There will be a hidden mountain. [20:01] politics take time, and no matter what you say, you're not going to move the whole deliberative all by yourself, in it's current state, to go smackdown Bloom. [20:02] you could send the party alone but do you really want to do that? [20:02] * Fiat hadn't planned on it. [20:02] I know some people who are quite adept at moving deliberatives, though. [20:02] * GoldenH is sure. [20:03] * Fiat points at presencey Vanal and mind-reader Tabs. [20:03] and, yes, the deliberative is filled with people just like that. [20:04] * GoldenH isnt' going to make them worthless; I'm actually interested in seeing how well they do. [20:04] but there's going to be some time where you are kicking cans shaped like anathema no matter what else happens. [20:05] * Fiat chuckles. How about pumpkins with smily faces drawn on them? ^_^ [20:05] that works too. [20:05] Oh, and little caste marks. [20:05] but don't go into farm brother's fields; he pays his immaculate dues on time every year ^_^ [20:06] GH, what's YMMV ? [20:06] I mean, hey, a bucnh of XP and downtime CAN be twinked to hell and back, but I've worked on a bunch of stuff that isn't pure twink. [20:07] YMMV is your god [20:07] * Fiat just notes that we have 4 chars, two combat-based, and the supervillain. [20:08] I try to keep my asskickery where I can get lucky and take out Bloom myself, but it requires a lot of mojo I usually don't have. [20:08] * GoldenH thinks you'll handle him just fine. TRUST ME when I say you DON'T need to be more powerful ^_^ [20:08] remember, Bloom *is* an eclipse, not Dawn [20:08] * Fiat was thinking of the HL for the knock people out of the way charm and to make mooks with ping damage less effective. [20:08] He's like an older, meaner Diethelm [20:08] killing mooks is good. [20:08] That way I can keep Tabs/Cicada casting or healing, survive, and deal out a counter. [20:09] The flipping gives me the coolness that is hulking up. [20:09] * Mayumi (Hikari@62.79.85.10.ppp1-3.alb.tiscali.dk) has joined #pvpexalted [20:09] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Mayumi [20:09] Hello again. [20:09] * GoldenH notes that I am going to reccomend that you ignore the "weak against essence" nature of certain charms for the next game, since the vast majority of whatever oppoennts you may have will be mortal. [20:09] hey mayumi. [20:09] Heh. [20:09] * GoldenH is not pleased by the idea of filling the east or the west with exalts. [20:09] yo may [20:10] For the next game, I am not intent on turning things into goo. [20:10] Putty in my hands, maybe, but not goo. ^_^ [20:10] I'd reccomend looking for ways to survive the mooks right now. [20:10] * Fiat shrugs. More HL isn't it? [20:10] ..... [20:10] * GoldenH will let you have your tiger charm that makes your soak into oversoak at your essence for 4 motes scene.. [20:10] The multi-attack charm gets me out of the dungeon and through walls. [20:10] This again... [20:11] ... WHOA. [20:11] I know, I know may [20:11] That's even better than I thought. [20:11] no, it's not. [20:11] * DarthTom is bored to tears about system details [20:11] it means if they do more than your essence raw... [20:11] then it's useless. [20:11] * Fiat blinks. They'll always do more than my essence raw. [20:12] nah. [20:12] * Mayumi is just still groggy from sleeping. [20:12] that's 4L raw! I have no armor! [20:12] * GoldenH rubs his chin thoughtfully. [20:12] what's your normal L soak? [20:12] 1. [20:13] * GoldenH sees. very well; you may oversoak your entire soak pool; but it's weak against essence, for 4 motes. [20:13] Stamina 3? No wonder mortals and Anathema are better at lasting eight hours. [20:13] * Mayumi snickers. [20:13] * Fiat shrugs. [20:13] I haven't had anyone last eight hours. [20:14] * DarthTom hasn't had anyone last 3 YEARS [20:14] bah. [20:14] * Fiat lasted eight. She lasted four or so. Why bother lasting longer when it just leaves you with a sleeping partner and a half-sated urge? [20:14] at least you could actually claim a girl :p [20:14] * No active timers [20:15] And here I tell you, time and time again, that you need more than just that glorified extra Kylara to make you happy. [20:15] But do you listen? [20:15] Noooooooo. [20:15] Just look away from cleavage and run like hell. [20:16] Some man. Need a woman to do even basic logic for you. [20:16] Hey, at least he isn't romancing a sword, May [20:16] Heh. [20:16] Yea, Vanal has got it hard. [20:16] no pun intended ? [20:17] But don't worry. She will get around to advising him too. [20:17] In time. [20:17] In time, my dear. ;) [20:17] lesse my tab for my chars : [20:17] Vanal :a sword [20:17] Ressar :Lilith [20:17] Diethelm: an abby seeking redemption [20:17] see a pattern forming ? [20:17] Weirdoes? [20:17] bingo [20:18] though in d's case, I understand [20:18] She's a MILF, after all [20:18] Cicada is by any means a normal and straightforward person? [20:19] * GoldenH shrugs. none of my characters ever last long enough for anyone to see the similiarities ^_^ [20:19] http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/onceuponatimeinmexico/ [20:19] a new el Mariachi movie !

[20:23] terrin, amadeus, obsidian, and cumondaie. what could they all have in common? ^_^ [20:23] You have...? [20:23] four characters. [20:23] they're all crazy ? [20:23] i'm not crazy.... [20:23] They are married? [20:23] none of them are married... yet. [20:23] Awwww.... [20:24] * Mayumi (Hikari@62.79.85.10.ppp1-3.alb.tiscali.dk) Quit (Ping timeout) [20:24] Terrin had a girl he was going to marry, but he became an anathema, so he broke it off. [20:24] So guys. Do I Warmfaced Seduct or Flashy Sword-Dance Red Bloom? [20:25] depends if you want him to shethe his daiklaive or not [20:26] Ebchanting Performance is just too evil to fathom in the hands of one who knows how to use it. [20:26] Hmmm... It is such a nice daiklave. [20:26] It takes so many shapes. [20:26] Now a seven-section-staff, then a pair of war fans... [20:27] it can even summon chakrams and stuff ^_^ [20:27] I wonder which of you will get it... [20:27] though it's his hearthstone circlet that is the real power. [20:27] *shrug* Vault it. [20:27] Get it..? Like the Rapunzel trick that I think I have figured out? [20:28] no, i mean, score the phat l3wt [20:28] I don't think your vault is big enough to store bloom's vault, Jynaru ^_^ [20:28] Or get it, as in botch that dodge and stand there like a deer in the headlights? [20:28] hmmm.... [20:29] neither! [20:29] * Cicada 's vault can stors his daiklave. I bet you. [20:29] yea, but can it store ALL of his daiklaives? [20:29] * Cicada will try her very best for her master. [20:29] he has more than one, you know. [20:29] Maybe use more than one vault. [20:29] you'll need at least 3. [20:29] maybe 4... [20:29] Good. [20:30] My exact numeber... wha..? Four?! [20:30] yes, four. [20:30] or more. [20:30] Oh dear.... [20:30] he has a very big collection of daiklaives. [20:30] Jyn... I need that Solar thingie inside you for a fellow concubine... [20:31] * Fiat raises an eyebrow. [20:32] * GoldenH is now known as StoryBastard [20:32] amuse me. I must ST soon. [20:34] * StoryBastard rubs his chin. amuse? [20:34] I'm pretty sure he's speaking of daiklaves as the artifact, not the metaphorical term. [20:34] And all became quiet. [20:34] Especially because, you know, Vanal's in love with his daiklaive. [20:34] Well, I am not. [20:34] And that's just not right. [20:34] Though my master do seem a little cold and distant in the entire passion business. [20:35] Losing his wife must have hurt him so much... [20:35] It is so romantic... *sigh* [20:35] I'd give her back if I could kill her again. [20:35] then why don't you? [20:35] * Fiat shrugs. [20:35] * StoryBastard is now known as Storyteller [20:36] Something about chains and rituals tearing into my soul just doesn't do it for me. [20:36] * Storyteller is now known as Storybastard [20:36] true. [20:36] Sort of against the grain. [20:36] * LeffeKnight (~plooky@203.213.61.40) Quit (Ping timeout) [20:36] Even if I do the chaining and torturing? [20:38] * Storybastard thinks, especially then. [20:38] OK, I know that my maleness prohibits me from showing it around you, but the pregnant kinky friend is more than just a little ungood. [20:38] Especially paired with the whole soul-ripping again. [20:38] Buuuuut! [20:38] I'll be good. [20:38] * Fiat doesn't have fond memories of soul-ripping. They're very bad. [20:38] gooooooooood, you mean. [20:39] Yeah, well, God, at least. [20:39] and, for the record... [20:39] Van does not love the sword, he loves the girl IN the sword [20:39] subtle difference [20:39] * Storybastard nods. [20:39] Bah, you love the sword too. [20:39] * Fiat thought he loved his sword in the girl. [20:39] Just like you do the strider. [20:39] well...yeah, but he doens't LOVE the sword [20:39] it's ok to love your mom, as long as you don't get her pregnant [20:39] Fiat :That too [20:40] Part 2 of the gyah-ness: Hey! Kinky pregnant friend who looks a lot like my mother! GYAH(-ness). [20:40] Heh. [20:41] And I even play one of her instruments. [20:41] Soon. [20:41] * DarthTom is now known as Vanal [20:41] Besides, imagine the look on poor Tab's face. [20:41] * Storybastard grumble. where is tala and tabius? what is Vanal asupposed to do without them? [20:41] Uhhh... polish his sword? [20:41] Spit-shine his sword? [20:42] if he polishes it much more, it'll lose it's shiney finish. [20:42] ... [20:42] ACK! STOP THAT! [20:42] that's enough lewdness [20:42] Out of my head! Out! [20:42] seriously, Van is on autopilot in malkor's now...he's done what he came there to do...now I'm the follower [20:42] * Storybastard nods sagely. [20:43] Eh, gimme a couple of days and I'll jog in. [20:43] * Fiat can cross the entire island in two. ^_^ [20:43] Let's see... Stop in the imperial city, slaughter deliberative. [20:43] * Storybastard shrugs. there is the matter of the huge mountain range and river between you and malkors guard. [20:43] * Cicada will see if she can stop that. [20:44] Or at least relieve you of some baggage. [20:44] Stop at my manse, grab fucked up artifacts. [20:44] Stop in Malkor's guard, slaughternate the problems, take nap. [20:44] My master needs that baggage. He will reward me well if I get it for him. [20:44] Wake up from nap, save world, return to nap. [20:44] * Storybastard is specifically timing things so that you don't get to slaughternate the problems in malkors guard :P [20:45] Wake up again, wander back over to the deliberative, slaughternate the new ones if they din't get the point, kill Bloom. [20:45] * Cicada is a bit leary about supplying him with a woman he likely loves a lot... oh well, accidents happen when Wyld Hunters are around and poor Bloom will need comforting in his grief. [20:45] Week and a half, maybe? [20:46] * Storybastard shrugs. you still have to sleep. [20:46] Then I can finish a few more custom charms and go hunt the 5 metal shrike. ^_~ [20:46] Hey, that's Ghada dn Terrin's RIDE, man ! [20:46] *and [20:46] Good. [20:46] heh. yea. only Cicada's cookies can save you now. [20:46] When I shoot them down, I can steal terrin's weed. [20:47] And cackle. [20:47] Do they have to be homemade? [20:47] There must be cackling. [20:47] yes, they do have to be homemade. [20:47] fresh from the oven. [20:47] no cold cookies. [20:47] nipples, yes, but not for Ghada. [20:47] Damn... less time to serenade under Bloom's balcony... [20:48] What sort of damage would hitting someone with the 5 metal shrike do? [20:48] * Cicada goes to brush the dust off hr Craft Ability. [20:48] 80 agg. [20:48] * Fiat needs a portable hole to carry things like that in and whack people. [20:48] "Thou shalt not be as twinkish as I. *thwack*" [20:48] * Storybastard shrugs. you need a strenght of 120 to wield it as a weapon. [20:48] Ew. [20:49] * Fiat was thinking, like, 25. [20:49] no. [20:49] it's the FIVE metal shrike. [20:49] Well, yeah. [20:49] maybe the paper shrike. [20:49] oh, and a 200-foot ONE metal shrike would be any lighter ? [20:49] But it's not like it's any more heavy than a one metal shrike. [20:49] yes, it's much heavier. [20:49] Nah. [20:49] uh-huh [20:50] Unattuned jade roughly = unattuned moonsilver roughly = unattuned whatever. [20:50] * Storybastard says so. [20:50] * Fiat shrugs. Easy enough. [20:50] Just drop it out of the portable hole on them. [20:50] why did Werly go straigth to the RP channel? [20:50] * Thanos (~web-Guest@ip68-108-128-145.lv.lv.cox.net) has joined #pvpexalted [20:51] * Fiat dunno. Hey, it's T! [20:51] hey T [20:51] * Fiat is now known as Jynaru [20:51] Hello, Thanos. [20:51] * Jynaru needs an artifact to give me 120 strength so I can hit people with the 5 metal shrike. [20:51] So now everyone (more or less) are here. [20:51] Yayness. [20:51] I've got... 5 bucks Jade. Whaddya got for me? ^_^ [20:52] Sorry, young man I have told you all that I tell non-customers. *wink* [20:52] didn't you mention something about taking it out of my hide? [20:52] with COOKIES [20:52] taking it out of your hide... [20:53] SHE'S AN UNDERCOAT ! RUN ! [20:53] * Storybastard is now known as Storyteller [20:54] Heya [20:54] * Storyteller yawns. rp for malkors guard. rp2 for bloom. [20:55] I just so love when GH is the ST ;-) [20:55] instead of an SoB [20:56] heh. [20:56] Tabius, #pvpexaltedrp for j00 [20:56] * Tabius (~web-Guest@ip68-108-128-145.lv.lv.cox.net) has joined #pvpexalted [20:57] * Tabius (~web-Guest@ip68-108-128-145.lv.lv.cox.net) has left #pvpexalted [20:57] g37 j00r n008 @$$ 1n 743r3 [20:57] acht.... there I go [20:57] Dice Script Active [20:57] heh [20:58] its been a very busy week, could I get a recap/scene desc? [20:58] Thanks ;-) [20:58] new scene ^_^ [21:01] tala is AFK btw. [21:01] AH! [21:29] Rule one of hunting exalts: Trust no one. [21:29] Rule two of hunting exalts: Don't be a mortal. [21:32] Rule Three: If at all possible have Jynaru along. [21:34] the problem is that these sad mortals are hunting me. [21:34] * Jynaru 's attempting to do the 500 yard dash in 15 seconds, but they won't get out my way. [21:52] Storyteller (8) 5, 3, 9, 8, 4, 4, 1, 1, Successes : 2 [21:52] !ex 8 [22:08] love how the results come up befor your command [22:10] heh, thanks. [22:15] I thought you said you didn't call him Benny IC, DT? ^_^ [22:17] I never said that [22:18] really?hmm. [22:42] BRB, bathroom break. [22:48] back [23:03] kookoo [23:04] (just passing by, I'm going back to bed in a few minutes... Is Jydan here ?) [23:05] bon, I'll be back in a few hours... ^^ [23:06] Hi Keyn. No, Jydan is not here. [23:06] hi may ^^ [23:06] thanks, well I'm going back to sleep because 4 hours... That's a bit short ^^ [23:07] See you later, Keyn. [23:07] Hey, you already has gotten more sleep than I! [23:07] hmmm, sorry ^^ [23:07] but i'm not as perfect as you :p [23:12] dang Hikari how much are you on the puter that you never get sleep? [23:13] Presently only on saturday - Sundays. [23:13] Saturday night. [23:14] And today I managed a nap before the game started. [23:16] WOOOOT! [23:17] Still, I am tired. I have to admit that. [23:22] * L_Jynaru (Fiat@dsc01-ati-ga-2-113.rasserver.net) has joined #pvpexalted [23:22] brb [23:24] * Jynaru (Fiat@dsc01-ati-ga-2-113.rasserver.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [23:26] * Cicada wonders if it is a healthy thing when a office lady keeps a bottle of whiskey in her bag. Still, I needed a drink. [23:27] heh [23:36] and i think everyone keeps a bottle of whiskeyin their bag, in europe. [23:38] anaseptic properties ;-) [23:39] Oh, and here I considered it my bed-companion. [23:42] * Storyteller is pleased. I finally was able to whip up an appropriate challenge-that-is-not-all-powerful. [23:43] ... Bull. [23:44] heh [23:44] * L_Jynaru 's alive because the ST let me live, and thats all. [23:44] And you questioned me needing a defensive charm worth a shit. ha. [23:44] THIS is why I built Jynaru so nasty. [23:45] * Storyteller shrugs. your only ever alive even a moment because the ST lets you live. [23:45] I'll rephrase it. [23:45] Excellent ;-) [23:46] I'm only alive because the ST held back on pre-built beings. [23:46] * L_Jynaru 's going to need to drop, oh, EVERY XP I get into combat to be able to stand a chance at not relying on "Shit, I built it too strong". [23:47] so basically your saying that I should pre-build things and use them to the best of their abilities, instead of pre-building things with some room to grow as I think they need it? [23:47] * Storyteller doesn't think I've built anything too strong, yet. [23:47] 40 dice of defense? [23:47] 30 or so of offense? [23:47] I just keep on thinking of Fire Form, Flow Like Blood, and Hurricaine Combat Manuever all being up at the same time. [23:47] per demon? [23:48] * Storyteller thought you could handle it in the way that I used them. [23:48] and what, demons can't split their attacks now? [23:48] Than: Don't forget 5FBS [23:48] * L_Jynaru shrugs. [23:48] Eh, not including non MA stuff ;-) [23:48] I could not handle them without the init. [23:48] indeed. [23:48] * L_Jynaru cannot be expected to handle them. [23:49] There was no point in me actually fighting them. [23:49] I could not hit them without extra action charms, and if I use extra action charms, I die. [23:50] * Storyteller shrugs. you did exactly what I expected you to do, and honestly if you had lost, I would have hauled you back with no regrets, and I have no regrets sending you onwards. [23:50] THIS is why I twink. Every single time I think I might be able to do something, here comes something else that nullifes the 200 or so XP i've spent on combat, so I need more. [23:51] Get that 1 handy dandy dodge charm ;-) That you spend essence get 4 success's and they hit somebody else close by [23:52] Would have been hit by trees. [23:52] Basically, we could have skipped the whole thing and just stuck me in the woods at whatever HL you felt appropriate. [23:53] * Storyteller shrugs. it went exactly as I planned. And yes, we could skip every fight and do that way. would you prefer it that way? [23:53] Might as well. [23:54] that's just how I handle fights. [23:54] Apparently, it doesn't matter whether or not I actually do something. [23:54] of course it does. Monumentaly supid things get you killed ;-) [23:54] * L_Jynaru shrugs. Huzzah. Maybe I should start doing monumentally stupid things and save myself some time. [23:55] * Storyteller shrugs. you would rather me go all-out with something and win or lose one way or another? [23:55] Enjoy the rest of the game. Tell me how the win over bloom goes. [23:56] * L_Jynaru shrugs. I could never have won, nor affected the outcome, without perhaps hacking the dice script. [23:57] I was unaware that I was merely here to provide a wry line or two. [23:57] Actually keeping the fights honest seems the best way. [23:57] Anyway, G'night. [23:57] It doesn't matter if you twink or not. It does matter if you play or not. That's honestly what I planned for them to do; i didn't change anything. [23:57] That way the combat guys get rewarded when they win. [23:57] g'night. [23:57] * L_Jynaru shrugs. [23:57] Good night. [23:57] It doesn't matter if I play or not. [23:57] I'm here to say a few lines, no more. [23:58] * L_Jynaru (Fiat@dsc01-ati-ga-2-113.rasserver.net) Quit (Quit: Battles risking the soul... a man becomes a slave to his own ambition. His motivation is the thirst for power.) [23:59] ah, the happyness of Twinkery ;-) [23:59] * Storyteller sighs. what, am I supposed to kill him? [00:00] Actually, that would give his way of playing meaning. [00:00] * Storyteller shrugs. he coulda died. [00:00] I enjoy jumping through loops. Fiat might not. [00:00] Its always the worst of challenges for an ST to plan a combat to the point that people "Could" get axed, but get it close enough [00:00] that they don't but feel like their character COULD have. [00:01] but I did. he won init. [00:01] * Storyteller rubs his head sadly. [00:01] If he had not, he would have gotten smacked down hard? [00:01] hell yes. [00:01] 5 extra actions and he had no essence. [00:01] Thats one thing I like about dice on a table....its called an ST screen and whatever success's I want to have I have ;-) [00:02] and honestly, bloom could kill everyone. I dunno. [00:02] anybody that has ALL the MA charms could kill just about anybody :-P [00:04] if I use it right. [00:04] which I dunno if I will. [00:04] Hmmm... maybe I did choose the right side? :) [00:04] maybe he'll run out of essence. maybe you guys will come up with some badass strategy that can't fail. [00:04] LMAO [00:05] badass strat that can't fail...... hrmmmmmmmmmmmmm [00:05] Well he might not have a perfect defense....maybe we can go find the 4 HS for the 5M Strike, then find it, then hit him with the main gun! [00:05] he has HGD. :p [00:06] you've seen him use it. [00:06] Well we have to get him to use a charm in that round then ;-) [00:06] yea... [00:07] OK, well there went that theory ;-) [00:08] Its either going to be massive coordination with some "targets" for him to go after, or some kind of massive surpise attack. [00:09] I know, we can take that Oracalcum bolder and chop grips into it. Tabs can cast the Winged Demon spell and have the bolder taken [00:09] to whereever Bloom is and drop it on him stealth like. No perfect defense if you don't know its coming, right? [00:11] he has SAE+HGD comboed, i'm sure. [00:12] Hmmm.... When someone offers to trade you sex for one of your L5R cards, you really wonder if it's good. [00:12] Whoa! It IS good! [00:13] heh [00:13] DANG! [00:13] .... [00:14] Now that is a collector... [00:14] (unless she was ugly enough to be desperate for sex anyway) [00:16] 'tae's actually kinda cute. [00:18] Yes...... it better be a $50 card ;-) [00:18] * Etrangere (della@80.236.33.199) has joined #pvpexalted [00:18] You should find out what else she wants and get some bids on Ebay or some friends to give you "presents" [00:18] * Jydan thinks you all should see my pretty NERV bag. [00:19] EWWWWW NERV is COOL! [00:19] Hello, Ete. [00:19] Hello [00:19] Or maybe "good morning" would be better in your case. [00:19] someone knows when is BM's next game ? [00:19] Haven't slept yet :) [00:19] * Jydan shakes his head. No, I don't. [00:20] well, then i guess none tomorrow [00:23] http://www.mythwear.com/item.php?code=604B-NERVR [00:23] Supposedly Kraken makes his makeup game tomorrow. [00:23] tomorrow sunday ? [00:23] * Jydan blinks. Oh, bloody hell. [00:24] No. Tomorrow monday. [00:24] ah better [00:24] Usual time. [00:26] cool [00:26] well, must sleep now [00:26] cya ete. [00:26] Bye ete.

[00:38] * Jydan sighs. I'm totally and completely addicted to ramen noodles. [00:38] that was certainly random. [00:38] :) [00:40] Chug a bug in the nug, slug. [00:43] what were their names again? [00:43] * Storyteller really should write them down ^_^ [00:44] L'Eaves and Tanase. [00:44] thankye [00:45] thhe a is hard in that first name, btw [01:01] * Bog_Mod (Bog@h24-68-109-83.gv.shawcable.net) has joined #pvpexalted [01:01] nyarr [01:01] Jellies. [01:01] nyarr [01:01] * Storyteller shrugs. BM, fiat is now all yours. [01:01] ? [01:02] What do I need him for? [01:02] * Storyteller shrugs. whatever it is. [01:02] Did I say I needed him? [01:02] no but now he's yours alone to torture ^_^ [01:02] Ah [01:03] Excellent [01:03] yes..... [01:03] you must do well. [01:03] it is your DES-tiny! [01:03] How is everyone tonight? [01:04] * Jydan just got offered sex for an L5R card. [01:04] By whom? [01:04] A girl I know. [01:04] say yes [01:04] * Jydan believes she's kidding. Yet it is still amusing. [01:04] yo bog [01:04] So say yes [01:04] but it's a REALLY good card. right Jydan? [01:05] You never know and it is witty to agree. [01:05] It IS a really good card, if you play Shadowlands. [01:05] Where is Fiat? [01:05] he quit. [01:06] you are now his sole ST ^_^ [01:06] Make a deal, she can borrow it on a semi-perminant basis. Sex is a monthly fee ;-) [01:06] sole ST? [01:06] What happened? Your game ended? [01:06] unless he's in some other game I don't know about.... [01:06] no, he doesn't like me any more. [01:06] ? [01:06] * Storyteller is a bad ST [01:07] Well, lets see about that. Might not be that bad. [01:07] ?!? [01:07] But really, the fixed battle thing is not Fiat's deal. [01:07] Can someone tell me what is going on? [01:07] * Jydan doesn't know himself. [01:08] * Storyteller shrugs. I didn't fix the battle, but he thinks I did. [01:09] Did Jynny die? [01:09] If the result is fixed, then why prepare - Fiat likes the nitty-gritty preparing - in short it wastes his effort. [01:10] most of combat is a waste of time. Either the characters are ment to win, ment to come real close and have ot make a decision to run or fight, or they are ment to loose. [01:10] so basically Fiat won, he thought I let him win, and he's off. [01:10] oy vey [01:10] When we faced the Greater Minions of the Eyeless face.... with Bloom and company at the head, we were ment to loose. It was obvkous........ [01:10] * Bog_Mod has next game time up [01:10] * Storyteller would like if he comes back but.....
