will there be a tie breaker

suspense building

Shalvenay

hey there @JohnB, welcome to the RPG.SE lair :)

Ben

I'd go ramen

nitsua60

@KorvinStarmast 2e: "specialist wizards." Cannot cast spells from the "opposing" school (remember the 8-point diagram? Me neither! But it didn't matter, because each school had two in opposition which you couldn't read off the diagram anyway!) but gain a bonus to their "% to know" roll on spells in their school (+15%) and a malus on the same rolls out-of-school (-15%).

Skyler

Oooooh, Nippon is coming out ahead, will Shal turn this franchise around or seal pbj's fate

nitsua60

@Skyler I nominate @JohnB. Their first act in the room should be making this monumentous decision, and we'll all bow to their sagacity.

@Shalvenay (though, of course, if there's anything OOC please don't be shy about telling me. I'm always trying to improve, especially in my weak domain: RP.)

@nitsua60 I second this idea, anything to make a newcomer feel uncomfortable :P

nitsua60

(I thought the bowing would put them at ease?)

Skyler

looks like he's gone, ramen wins

nitsua60

Alphaeus

@Skyler Yay

nitsua60

(which is my pet name for "going to go put the kids to bed now")

Alphaeus

12:12 AM

lol

I think I'll head out too for now

trogdor

@Skyler don't tell @nitsua60 but ramen had my secret vote the whole time

Ben

@trogdor [gasp!]

Skyler

12:27 AM

thank you for your hard work everyone

trogdor

Lol

It does look pretty sweet

Skyler

i swear, the chicken curry I make perfectly works as a stock for ramen

cracked an egg in there for good measure

ive even topped banana bread with it and found it really good

trogdor

@Skyler I've always wanted to try that

Skyler

(curry not ramen)

i dont think a universe exists where banana bread and ramen should meet

Ben

@Skyler I was going to say...

Skyler

12:37 AM

btw guys, if i land this job im going to have nigh unlimited access to avocados, what should my cooking pen-name be when i storm the culinary world with obscenely avocado heavy dishes

So far El Avocando is the best I've come up with

Ben

@Skyler Golden Avocado

@Skyler High Roller

trogdor

Ugh Avocado again

Skyler

@trogdor ptsd of some kind kicking in?

Ben

@Skyler Real Estate King

@Skyler No I think that was his suggestion lol

Skyler

lolol

"good luck affording this dish"?

trogdor

12:40 AM

I just don't like Avocado, but there is also the problem that everyone thinks I should like it

Which is absurd

I don't like it so I don't like it

Ben

All mine are reference to the joke that one Politician's "solution" to the Millenial's inability to save in today's society would be to "stop eating avocado"

Skyler

@trogdor Eh, I'm way more partial to butter, but avocado is kind of like apple sauce, its really can do a lot of heavy lifting in cooking to make interesting results

Ben

So the first response was "Help, I stopped eating avocado and now I'm drowning in gold coins and all these properties that I own"

Skyler

@Ben haha

trogdor

I never eat Avacado, where is my house yo?

Ben

12:42 AM

I know right

Skyler

Alaska

Ben

@Skyler ...you have my attention

Skyler

For real though you could say san diego and i wouldnt be too surprised

trogdor

Hand me the deed and I will be there XD

Ben

Well, I live in Australia, lol

Skyler

12:43 AM

where you at trogdor?

@Ben can your contient grow avocados?

trogdor

Guam

Ben

@Skyler Yeah lol

Skyler

mhmm, well the company I'm hoping to work might drastically increase avocado accessibility for you guys down under

trogdor

One would imagine you could find somewhere on Australia to grow them

Ben

@trogdor I believe my sister grows them actually

trogdor

12:45 AM

Fair enough

Ben

She lives a little more South of where I am, so it's probably better weather for it

Skyler

They basically have figured how to take plant trimmings and create a nanoscale barrier to keep water in and oxygen out, which allows them to tune the breathing rate of produce and delay spoilage 2-10x

Since 90% of food spoils in the 3rd world, this might be a big enough disrupting tech to end world hunger

trogdor

@Ben I am sure I have asked 50 Australians this before, but you get snow in the northern parts of the country right?

Skyler

@trogdor wouldnt it make more sense on the southern part

Whoops

12:48 AM

XD

@trogdor Negative. Most of the country is too hot to get that kind of weather, It really only snows on the southern-most edge, as well as tasmania

Oh right, yeah. Southern

trogdor

Either way though, the gist of the question is that it does snow there at least depending on area

Ben

@trogdor In a very small section of the country - yes.

Skyler

Ben's world has been flipped upside down

trogdor

12:50 AM

Mmk

Ben

But for the most part - the entire country is effectively one big desrt.

trogdor

Sorry, I live north of you, I should know better XD

Ben

Haha

trogdor

It doesn't snow here

At all

Ever

Skyler

#JustHemisphereThings

That ramen was GREAT

Ben

12:51 AM

@trogdor Same where I live

Skyler

kinda wish I cracked a second egg in there but I don't even care

Ben

@trogdor Though, to be fair... The North Queensland weather makes no sense

trogdor

Lol

Weather here is all too predictable, except when it isn't

Ben

A storm that lasts 2 mins can go from a light drizzle, to full on down pour, then hail, then back to full sun again.

trogdor

Mmm when we say storm here, it's always referring to a Typhoon

We rarely get lightning storms or any of that

Ben

1:00 AM

Oh, that reminds me - @doppelgreener I'm not entirely convinced it's anything to do with "abuse"... they carry on like it's fun, making jokes about it OoC and in between games - when we organise a time for the next session "Ah, and then I can check to see if that guy is actually a zombie or not!" - this particular character is a drunk, and I have stated multiple times that no, they're not a zombie; they're just a drunk.

Detect Evil and Good - No evil presences - "Maybe it's a friendly zombie"

Insight - Nat20; he's got some issues - he seems troubled due to the trauma of entering the dungeon once before, but that's why he's drunk - "Maybe he's trying to hide the fact that he's been afflicted by a zombie!" - There are no 'zombie viruses' in this game, so no; that's not the case.

Medicine check to see if there are any wounds - bite marks etc. - Nat20. Apart from a probably unhealthy liver - he is completely fine. "Hrrrrmmmmm....." (Obvioussly still not convinced)

I feel like maybe this might be a question for the site... if not for the answer to the question, but perhaps so that @doppelgreener can flesh out his "abused gamer syndrome" answer? That might be useful for others.

Anyone who knows how the bots work: AngryGM has recently rebuilt their site and I believe today's new article didn't come through the ticker. Wanna poke at the feeds and the site and see if something obvious is going on? Thanks.
