12:00 AM
Dang IM SO CLOSE
Only need THREE MORE UPVOTES to hit 200
Phbt
Oh well
Maybe tomorrow
 
12:14 AM
@Sandwich I suggest you get used to that. There is a lot of coming close but not quite hitting the bar.
 
I think I've hit 200 twice before thusfar
 
haha, i guess it takes some time then
..... wow
i just checked my profile to see how long i've been here
and saw that i've pinged this site somehow at least once a day for the last two years <_<
 
Lol
 
I missed a few days during my international travel in late May.
 
I probably would have close to a full year and a half
there were 2 months of no activity though
 
12:27 AM
one day i will tour northeastern Africa, travel through zones with no cellular network coverage at all, see the sights of Egypt and other beautiful places, lose my phone in a river, become lost for three weeks, stumble home after rescue helicopters find me, recover in hospital, then finally visit here, and still find out my consecutive visit spree has not been interrupted.
 
actually, creepily enough, 2 months is exactly what I would need to have visited the site for 2 whole years worth of days
 
i will probably put it up to the supernatural at that point.
@trogdor COINCIDENCE ????
 
well, I just accurately guessed the amount of time
without actually remembering the exact amount of time
plus, it's specifically for today
tomorrow I will have 606 days visiting the site
 
in 10 more days you will have the mark of the beast (temporarily)
 
I missed ONE day on my beach vacation
So now I have to get another 90 days =\
 
12:32 AM
the fanatic badge is probably best earned by accident
 
I'm sad that just leaving the computer on over the week doesn't count
 
12:46 AM
that would b cheating
 
1:25 AM
@Sandwich By god...
They are multiplying...
Hullo, friendsters.
Evening/Morning.
 
What's multiplying @Althis?
 
@Sandwich I don't know, we can't find the cloning machine yet in order to shut it off.
 
@Aaron -- I've contemplated a Cleric/Feylock multiclass, but that's very, very dependent on what your DM lets you have for a pact granter
 
We don't even know what it looks like. We think it's moving around.
But the cloning machine with legs was decommissioned weeks ago!
 
@Shalvenay Plus it kinda sucks.
 
1:36 AM
Only, now it doesn't seem like as stupid an idea as we first thought.
 
@miniman -- yeah, warlocks aren't all that and a bag of chips in 3.x
 
@Althis, if you find your cloning machine, please inform us, so that we can make sure you're no longer multiplying.
 
I should find another table that I can take my halfling Druid3 to, though...
 
@doppelgreener Have you ever thought, that the cloning machine might be cloning itself?
 
@Shalvenay Well, warlocks can be quite good, but a Cleric/Warlock is super-MAD, sacrifices both spellcasting and eldritch blast progression, and gains...?
 
1:38 AM
@Miniman -- yeah. it's more of a whimsical idea than a practical one
 
@Althis Are you asserting that you are a cloning machine?
 
@Miniman -- on a slightly more serious-charopt note, I have to re-enchant all the stat-boosting gear on my NWN druid to give STR as well as WIS so that he's no longer Lomir the Chronically Overloaded Druid
 
@doppelgreener At this point, who would really know? Once they pass the turing test there is just no way to be certain.
I might be entirely composed of self cloning machines at this point, for all we know.
 
(I made the minor mistake of dumping CHA and then putting everything I could into WIS and the rest into CON)
 
@Shalvenay Assuming you're spending most of your time Wild Shaped, that sounds like a perfect Druid build
Wait, does your server include the PRC?
 
1:43 AM
@Miniman -- can't spend most of my time Wild Shaped b/c NWN doesn't implement Natural SPell :P
 
@Althis Ok, well, @Sandwich I think Althis may be multiplying Althis.
 
I dunno if it includes Shifter
 
@Shalvenay PRC, dude. You need it.
 
@Sandwich Poor baby Amethyst... poor baby everyone.
 
@Miniman -- if it does, it may require some special permission token anyway, I'd have to look
 
1:44 AM
 
@Pixie PSO2 is good so far
 
@doppelgreener me
 
@Shalvenay Shifters can't cast while shifted, but they can use the form's special abilities
 
@Pixie I was waiting for you to appear because I was sure it was XD
 
@doppelgreener I like cute things but not scary things
 
1:45 AM
@Miniman -- what forms do they get?
 
I do not like cute things...
I think.
I am not sure.
I try not to impart cute/not cute judgement on things.
 
@doppelgreener I think I have blogged it at least twice now. Everytime it's just like "yes, exactly." xD
 
Except when it is a fact like baby Amthyst.
 
It is definitely also me.
 
1:47 AM
@Miniman -- don't you need 10 levels of your base class to PrC, or can you PrC as soon as you get the other prereqs and then take the remaining levels of your base class later on down the road?
 
And this dota courier:
 
@doppelgreener I describe the combination as "creepydorable."
 
@Shalvenay You can PrC as soon as you meet the requirements, and you don't have to go back to a base class afterwards
You just can't take >10 levels of a PrC pre-epic
 
@Miniman -- the reason I say "balance" is that, yeah...
 
@Pixie that is a good word.
 
1:49 AM
and yeah -- Shifters on the server I'm on require you to get a Major Award
 
@doppelgreener Thanks! Necessity is the mother of word smashing. :v
 
@Shalvenay Lol. For clarity, btw, when I said PRC earlier I meant the Player Resource Consortium
 
which comes from this: wiki.arelith.com/Epic_Sacrifice
@Miniman -- aah. and that is?
 
@Shalvenay A mod that adds hundreds of options
Races, classes, feats...
 
aaah
well, I don't think the server in question is running that :P
 
1:51 AM
Yeah, that's what I was asking about (cos it includes Natural Spell)
Also, Red Dragon Disciple and Shifter are the restricted classes? That's hilarious, who comes up with this stuff
 
@Sandwich Glad you're having fun!
 
@Miniman -- the other PrCs are under a different restriction
well, some of the other PrCs
 
@Shalvenay You mean Assassin, Pale Master, and Harper Scout?
 
yep
those require a DM authorization, end of story
 
And they haven't restricted Weapon Master? I mean, seriously
What's up with these people
Not to mention the insane multiclassing rules, wow
 
1:54 AM
yeah, you can't dip at all on that server
 
@Pixie ... and word smash(ing) is a much better word than portmanteau
 
weapon master may be restricted -- the table conflicts with the text in the class description, oops
 
@doppelgreener You mean wordsmashing, right?
 
@doppelgreener P: [smashes words together like toy airplanes]
 
@Miniman sir are you getting pedantic with me on whether to include a space or not in a made-up phrase
 
1:56 AM
@doppelgreener I'm just trying to avoid another situation like monosyllabic
 
@Miniman -- I think the main reason for the restrictions on Harper Scout/Assassin/Pale Master and Shifter/Red Dragon Disciple are because those classes can create RP problems more than they are simply OP, especially with the former set
 
It is also worth noting that I am entirely too tired to recall words like portmanteau right now. I just looked at a bowl of leftover broccoli and thought, "I can't eat these green beans."
 
Purple Dragon Knight is simply "useless and buggy" in their words, though
 
@Shalvenay Well, they're right there
 
ah, reminds me of the stock Truenamer :P
 
1:59 AM
@Miniman What is the situation there?
 
@doppelgreener I mean words that don't fulfill their meaning
 
@Pixie HA. No, that's fine. Word smashing is a beautiful invention of a phrase.
@Miniman Aha. So the two words must be smashed together as well?
 
@doppelgreener That was my point, yeah
Hence wordsmashing
 
YAY!
 
2:01 AM
God help us, by their accents, the villains in tonight's D&D game are from the elemental plane of Minnesota.
 
@BESW BLARGH! [dies violently of acute sudden cute shock syndrome]
 
@doppelgreener I work with what resources I have available, which sometimes pans out. :v
@BESW So tiny. So fierce.
 
@trogdor hahaha!
i remember seeing that bit.
 
It is still a favorite of mine
 
2:05 AM
When they grow up, they look like someone put a Rodent of Unusual Size in with the bleached whites.
 
:D
one of the things in my campaign world will be domestic ROUSes
 
eh,... not as cute
 
\o
 
@Nyoze thank goodness you're here
 
Wait, what? :\
Why would anyone actually want me here?
 
2:15 AM
You need to fix that walking cloning machine with legs
Only you can do it!
 
That sounds like... a rather mischievous device.
 
I'd be slightly worried if it was a walking cloning machine without legs...
 
More of a gliding cloning machine.
 
@doppelgreener Gasp! The situation is dire.
 
2:21 AM
@Nyoze Are you sure you are not full of cloning machines as well?
@Pixie You have no clue.
My machines, they just keep multiplying.
Non-stop.
 
@Althis Are we dealing with... dire cloning machines?
 
Oh no! :\
One Althis is enough to deal with already, we don't need more!
 
@Pixie They do eat through living matter for cloning purposes, does that count as a dire situation?
@Nyoze I am telling ya, clones everywhere.
 
@Althis That counts as terrifying! Unless by "eat through living matter" you mean "graze peacefully upon grass like mechanical cows."
 
//quit
//exit
//kill
Let me out of this hell! :\
 
2:24 AM
I am currently seeking aid of another bunch of clones.
So that we can create a hybrid, much more powerful clone.
And let this clone clone itself, so that it too might become more... much more!
@Pixie This reminded me of this:
 
MMmmmmm.... Salty goodness :)
 
@Pixie Dire Legged Cloning Machine. Y'all are giving me beautiful plot thoughts.
 
So sassy, am I right?
@doppelgreener ...Wait.
 
I still don't understand how telling someone that being flatfooted can't increase their AC is getting me so much rep lol.
 
2:30 AM
Wouldn't that mean it's legs are dire?
 
 
@Althis Perhaps! Maybe the legs are another organism, one that is dire.
 
Wouldn't Legged Dire Cloning Machine be more proper?
 
@Pixie I see the resemblance.
 
Nah. It's a standard cloning machine with a Dire Legged beneath it.
 
2:31 AM
@Althis Well it is a Dire version of the Legged Cloning Machine. Maybe Dire Cloning Machine Walker? But that could be a walker of dire cloning machines. Dire Walking Cloning Machine?
 
@doppelgreener The fact that I can as well proves how far we've sunk as an species.
 
@Althis Or how far the bread has risen
 
@doppelgreener It just walks in a particularly dire fashion, then.
@doppelgreener I would totally take bread as a pet.
 
@Althis No, that would be Direly Walking Cloning Machine. Success! \o/
 
If only it lived longer.
 
2:33 AM
[mourns baguette, which succumbed to mold all too soon]
 
I still prefer to call it a Dire Cloning Legged Machine.
@Pixie We shall miss her.
She had so much to live for.
Cheese, mustard and even ham...
 
What have I gotten myself into?
 
@Nyoze Hopefully the cloning machine's workings, we need it fixed! (Don't climb into the cloning part!)
 
@doppelgreener It's too late... There's no fixing this now.
 
2:40 AM
I hear a strike to the heart is very effective against dragons.
Who's to say it would be any different with a Dire Cloning Legged Machine?
 
@Althis Who's to say it has a heart?
 
I am giving you inside knowledge that I am not that heartless.
 
Wait.
You're the cloning machine?!
 
Dum dum duuuuuuuum!
 
2:43 AM
The plot, can you feel the thickness?
It is like peanut butter and jelly over here!
Thick all over!
 
Eww, go away with your jelly.
I don't understand people, why would you want jelly in a sandwich? :P
(Doppel will get the joke lol)
 
I get the joke
Althis: If your cloning exceeds critical mass, I may have to enact a curse to banish all clones to the Far Realm or a volcano, whichever seems less horrible.
Immediately and perpetually.
 
Less horrible? LESS?
I don't think doppel understands the direness of the situation.
Direness? Direity? I don't know of a work that relates to the amount of dire :\
 
direness
is actually a word
@Nyoze Yes, well, they are clones, but they are also people (probably, if Althis is a person). I would rather they have the least horrible fate necessary.
 
I don't believe that Althis is anymore then a malicious computer worm trying to populate the internet. Proof otherwise please. :D
 
2:58 AM
Oh. Well, if he's a computer worm, the Far Realm is the only option. There's only so many places you can banish something after all, and that's the place computer worms gotta go.
 
Agreed. Hopefully we don't get to that point.
Huh, that's interesting. There's a Game of Thrones RPG, and a completely separate Song of Ice and Fire RPG...
 
> Thanks to you and 1,512 others, Blue Rose: The AGE Roleplaying Game of Romantic Fantasy has been successfully funded.
Hurray! (There was no worry)
 
@Codeacula Oh, darn, I forgot to fund. Ah well, it didn't need me. I'll keep an eye out for it.
 
@Pixie Of course it needed you! It might have reached another stretch goal maybe
 
@Codeacula With my $30 or so? :P But yeah, I did intend to donate. I just forgot. =w=
 
3:08 AM
It was only like $650 away from the next goal :P
 
I know! If @Pixie and a few others remembered, who knows!
 
@Nyoze Aw man. xD
 
An expanded GM book with an extra thing!
 
Maybe they'll do an after-campaign.
 
I'm already brewing who I'll invite to play. So excited.
 
3:09 AM
I'd say invite me, but online and all :P
 
Every time I've tried to do online planned RP bad stuff happens. :(
 
It's not the easiest thing to maintain.
 
One time a session actually came through, but 2 hours late and I left right after
As in, left the group
 
Ouch.
 
Mostly because I could already hear the personality conflicts brewing
 
3:12 AM
@Codeacula Yeah... They suck :(
 
@Nyoze Indeed :(
Just some rulesy people
 
ah, I take it you aren't much of a rules lawyer or a rules jurist?
 
I can be in certain situations, but no, not usually
I GM most of the time, and this was me going in as a player. One of the players kept correcting everyone on the rules during discussion, which is fine, but they didn't have a good attitude it sounded like.
 
ah
I'm willing to deviate from the rules if it works with my sim-sense or if there's a clearly broken rule, but I usually am not as keen on breaking the rules for the sake of the narrative
 
To top it off, the GM had us make characters, and then immediately scrapped most of the stuff. Like burning everyone's SIN and making us move from the places we just paid for.
 
3:18 AM
yeah, that's a bit problematic
 
Yeah, I'll break the rules if we're in the middle of a session and we can't find it quickly
I'll house rule for the session and we'll look it up later
I mean, I'm sure these people were just fine. Just didn't sit right with how I like to play, so I took myself out
 
ah
 
You know when you meet someone and right away you know there's going to be friction? That.
 
...yeah, that.
 
Okay, bored now :\
 
3:26 AM
:(
 
3:46 AM
@Nyoze: A burly orc walks by you with a sheep in its arms. The sheep looks to have a leg at an awkward angle.
err, in his arms :)
 
@Shalvenay Don't do that. Don't give the orc a gender. Now I know it's a male, it's a bother, maybe even a father. How can I mercilessly slaughter it knowing that because of my actions, orc babies will starve? :'(
That being said.
 
@Nyoze: :P just wait until you find yourself on the road in the bitter cold and snow, searching desperately for shelter, and a young orcish lad invites you into his family's house for the night
 
I designate the sheep as my Animal Companion and using all the might of my level 18 druid form, I cast Shapechange (Form of the Dragon) on the sheep with my Distant Spell Link feat.
 
No no you designate a dolphin as your animal companion
And then craft it CONSTRUCT LEGS
 
@Shalvenay I would happily accept the offer, after making sure there was no orc family still living in the orc family house :)
@Sandwich But but but... I can't do that in time to eat the orc. Do you know how far away the ocean is?!
 
3:50 AM
@Nyoze: what, you'd turn down Orcish hospitality? HOW DARE YOU!
 
You can eat the orc
I'm sure it will be delicious
 
@Shalvenay I won't turn down the hospitality, my dragon form would appreciate the meal :)
 
:P
 
Just be sure you cut it into little cubes first and then sear them over a low flame
 
Here is a cute instead.
 
@Pixie That is creepydorable.
Well mostly adorable, but I am also projecting halloween vibes onto this.
 
Bat is not creepy. Bat is just cute. ... okay, to most people they're creepy. I concede, it is creepydorable.
 
That's adorable :)
I like bats :(
 
The bat on its own is simply adorable. The creepiness is stuff I'm projecting onto a bat-pumpkin.
 
4:37 AM
We had live bats at my library recently but I barely got to see them. I was working the desk, and unbeknownst to us, the program host spent over an hour talking before actually bringing them out. Our programs only usually even last an hour. xD
And other branches with less people got to have the bats hold on to people's shirts. >:I [turns into a green-eyed pixie monster]
@doppelgreener It is very Halloween.
(Which never actually ends. It is never not Halloween. Ever.)
 
4:51 AM
@Pixie awww. :D
@Pixie Well, it's always gotta be Halloween somewhere! [/notactuallyhowitworks]
 
It's always Halloween in my heart.
 
I love Halloween because I love Cosplay
 
I love Halloween because I am a silly little goth, but I also like cosplay.
 
@Pixie I do not recall you looking very gothic!
 
5:00 AM
@doppelgreener Actually looking gothic is a sometimes thing. :P
 
5:15 AM
@Pixie \o/ This is a cool thing
 
The styles that I like best are the particularly expensive ones, I do not usually go out except to work where I cannot very well goth it up, and makeup is too much effort to do on a daily basis. xD
 
Australia does not tend to get very expressive with subcultures and even then I don't express myself externally much, but that is one of the subcultures I've gravitated toward in the past.
(I have yet to put up posters. I need to do this. I have some very wonderful posters from Dresden Codak, only I don't want them to also develop blu-tac stains...)
 
Heh. My walls are covered in anime wallscrolls. But I have a rather gothy Black Butler one..? (The rest are magical girl, of course.)
But... maybe the ponies invalidate that.
 
The ponies complement all of that I am pretty sure.
A room full of gothic posters plus also ponies would be a marvel I'd like to see.
Oh, speaking of: Does anyone know a decent way to hang up posters whilst also not ruining them with bluetac?
 
@doppelgreener Laminate them first.
 
5:19 AM
......... that might also construe ruining them XD
 
Makes 'em last a LOT longer. No tearing, no stains.
 
@doppelgreener You can get less greasy tac, but yeah, I have messed art cards up with that stuff before. My Venture Brothers inserts and my Another art card... le sigh. Nowadays, I mostly do wall scrolls and plastic posters (when I can get them), so it's not as much of an issue. I hang the wallscrolls with command hooks.
 
Also, they are these posters:
 
Other than that... let's see if I can dig up the tech I use.
 
5:20 AM
They are beautiful.
There are also these ones which I do not have
 
I can't remember the brand, but I got some white poster tac for putting my BJD eyes in (as blue can stain the backs of the eyes/insides of the skull). It didn't work very well to hold the eyes in place because it was drier and less sticky -- but I think that would make it much more ideal for posters than the blue tac.
 
There's a line of stuff called poster strips from various companies.
They're much better for the poster and the wall than blutac, but aren't re-usable.
 
We like to use those in the library, but I haven't had to take one down yet.
 
@Pixie I will look into this thing.
@BESW These ones are stiff non-glossy card, so those will probably stick forever. :(
But yes! Non-greasy blu tac. I will try this out.
 
@doppelgreener I'll look at some point to see if I still have the box. They're not all made equal.
 
5:22 AM
If they get ruined anyway SO BE IT, I WILL GET REPLACEMENTS ONE DAY MAYBE.
 
Ahh! I think this is it.
 
@Pixie Ok! They are also not necessarily made in Australia. XD
 
@doppelgreener That also. xD
 
@doppelgreener Actually not--to take them off there's a little tab that you pull away, parallel to the wall and the poster, and the sticky stuff comes away surprisingly easily. I was shocked.
 
It's white, dryish, and difficult to knead.
You can also frame posters if you really like 'em.
Get a cheap frame, then use Command stuff to hang it so you don't have to put a nail in your wall.
 
5:25 AM
@Pixie Hooray! There are places in Australia that sell Duck poster putty!
@BESW Oh, yes, I have used these before. I am just concerned about their reaction to a fibery papery/card surface.
 
@doppelgreener I cannot guarantee no damage, but I can say that what I got (though this was a while back) was not nearly as sticky as the blue kind.
 
@doppelgreener If it's what I've used in the past, it's LOADS better than blutac.
 
@Pixie this is some smat thinking
 
Still gonna leave a little bit of grease and the potential for ripping, but a lot less of both.
 
@BESW \o/ Excellent
@BESW Yes, I can tolerate this.
Just that I remember posters in the past that had relatively big darkish splodges in the corners where it'd been tacked up.
 
5:27 AM
Yes, the splodges were the bigger issue for me.
With the bluetac.
 
...you could go for shrink-wrap instead of laminate.
Shrink-wrapping is a reversible process.
 
I really like posters that are plastic to begin with, but they are very rare.
 
Also at... uh, pretty much everywhere
 
That's ok - I don't want to like, hermetically seal them. Some minor damage is more than acceptable. I may not even have these in a couple of years, since I can't take them to the UK. I just don't want them to turn blue at the corners and ugly from being soaked in tac grease.
Sounds like the white-tac will do that, and I have no concerns about it bonding totally with the card and being unable to pull free like those poster strips. So I will go with the white-tac.
 
Now I just have to find some that is white but more sticky so my dolls can keep their eyes in. :P
 
5:31 AM
@Pixie this was a creepy sentence to read
 
@doppelgreener ... it tends to be. Have I mentioned how many disembodied heads I have?
 
Out of context quotes are good :D
 
As for gothiness, I would dress like this and this all the time if I could. =w=
 
@Pixie Those dresses are gorgeous :)
 
Victorian is nice too, but equally too expensive if it's good, usually.
@Nyoze Frills are life. Frills are love.
 
5:42 AM
@Pixie That's for sure... :(
 
Do I detect a hint of gothic lolita?
 
@doppelgreener Is there ever not a hint of gothic lolita around? :)
 
@doppelgreener Not a hint. Straight up gothic lolita. xD
Though honestly, classic is probably my favorite.
 
@Pixie aw yes. (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง
@Pixie What is classic? (Classic goth? Classic lolita? Classic... on its own?)
 
@doppelgreener Classic lolita, sorry!
The styles I posted could fit into gothic or classic, probably, but for some more examples of classic...
 
5:49 AM
I have an old high school acquaintence who's since gotten very much into the lolita crowd. I've seen a lot of it through the films he's made and photos he's taken.
He runs Deerstalker Pictures. You might be interested in some of their stuff. :D
 
@doppelgreener Classic, classic, classic.
@doppelgreener I'll check it out! :D
 
@Pixie I understand now.
He's done lolita raps and song remixes, and in-joke stuff like Shit Lolitas Say.
 
Heh.
I am not especially involved with lolita culture because it can get too vicious. TwT
 
No idea how it'll land with someone who's actually in that crwod.
@Pixie I have seen this.
 
@Pixie That red one...
 
5:54 AM
But I still adore the fashion, associated music styles, and parts of the culture. The fun parts.
 
I am not personally familiar with it
 
@Pixie The fun parts are what makes it worthwhile, yeah?
Harajuku is on my bucket list one day :(
 
@doppelgreener Hah. Their Mean Girls parody is pretty great already.
 
@Pixie There's associated music styles!? What are they?
