Guess who's back \o/

12:41 PM

oh great

:) How'd it go?

Was nice to be in the sun and such ;)

1:18 PM

How dare you get sunlight!

I'm a weird mix of tan and burnt

@Mithrandir Surprised you didn't link xkcd

@dcfyj Which would I link?

I don't know, but I'm sure there's a relevant one.

1:24 PM

I don't think so...

Not exactly relevant, but it is amusing (especially if you've seen The Core)

Obligatory bad guy: This operation is sheer foolishness, and it's not happening on my watch! Mainly because I can't figure out how to adjust the time.

This one is relevant-ish

Is anyone actually up for a game?

What's that

It's where we get a plum to mess up so we can blame it for losing/winning (case by case basis)

1:34 PM

How's that work?

Pretty well actually, you'd be surprised how easy it is to blame plums.

we typically figure it out as we go

I/O

What is this game? Who are you people? Where am I?

You are the spy.

You are a plum. This a fruit-eating game. You are about to be eaten.

Oh good. NP is going to be even more useless than usually.

...you sound like my sisters phone. "Battery is fully."

fully plumly usefully useful plumful

lol, your sister's phone says that?

1:38 PM

yep

screenshot please

I doubt he has control of when his sister's phone is accessible to him.

Just to note: it's not clear whether it's Mith's sister's phone, or Mith's sisters' phone. Though, the latter would be weird.

No, it's his sisters phone (as opposed to his sisters person).

It's perfectly feasible for more than one person to use the same phone, people did it for decades

1:41 PM

True, I guess. I assumed a smartphone but it could be one of those cordless dockable things that can't actually GSM.

Anyhow, I am up for an actual game instead of just talking about one actually :P

actual ... game? O...kay.

say 'o/' if you're in, and 'O/' if you can SM

1:45 PM

also hi

1:46 PM

@n_palum nuh uh

How long does a game usually take?

@as4s4hetic depends

@as4s4hetic 2 years give or take 2 years

I thought this room was for talking about bots used to play the game. Or, really, anything other than actually playing. Isn't this off-topic?

1:47 PM

An hour-ish.

anywhere from ten minutes to an hour

Oh, yeah. Or thirty seconds if someone is really bad at the game.

like... if plum clues the assassin right away? ;P

as if that ever happens :-D

Maybe I'll just watch this round then :P

1:48 PM

44 seconds thank you very much

(You can hop in or out mid-game for this one, if that helps)

@n_palum lol

(yeah, feel free to join - it's a pretty simple game, you'll learn quick)

simple he says... well the rules are at least.

yes, the rules are simple

1:50 PM

ok then

I'll play o/

Yay

we still need SMs

or, one, I guess

We have autofail for one :P

although he did have a break so he should be good for a few games

is that objectively good, or n_palum-good

1:52 PM

lol

@n_palum if it's not clear that was said in jest.

If he's NP-good, then pit him against NP :P

Sconibulus

be fair, plum has some great rounds and some terrible rounds, but few in-between :)

I'm on or I'm off

He just hasn't had any good rounds in a while

Not necessarily true :P

1:53 PM

you could say the same about me

I'm more off. n_palum is more on.

So, it's a risk, but if you survive the first run, you've already won

Heh

That's kind of mean :(

lol. clearly a typo. :)

anyhow, who's the second?

1:54 PM

I could

We have SMs! Release the Bot!

!flipcoin

Blue

Seeing if she lives?

Indeed

1:57 PM

Why not use newgame then? lol

a lot of name typing for nothing if she's not

this is a shorter command

@Rubio not really, we'll need the names either way (and copy-paste is a thing)

citation-needed

Sconibulus

I wonder when we'll get newgame+

1:59 PM

That's a thing to ask @ffao
