Like, the first (or second, or third, depending on how much setup we decided it needed) would be Temple meeting Lurker and Lurker finding out that things are about to get dangerous for the kobolds, and then Temple goes off and does whatever with whoever and Lurker goes off and does a different thing somewhere else. 17:05 <@Adelene> And we write those, and they're part of the same story, but we write them with people other than each other. 17:05 < rockeye> o/ 17:05 <@Adelene> hi ^^ 17:07 < Faceless> oooh, interesting *-* 17:07 <@Adelene> :D 17:09 < Faceless> (it is odd how this doesn't happen often in glowfic, now that I think about it) 17:09 <@Adelene> Yeah, that is one thing that's kind of bugged me, how we get, like, episodes but not entire series a lot of the time. 17:10 < Faceless> urgh, mozilla had a weird hiccup 17:10 < Faceless> I was thinking more about the possibilities of multiple authors/characters interacting with this format 17:10 <@Adelene> Ah. 17:10 <@Adelene> That too, yes. ^^ 17:11 <@Adelene> It works out really well for this story in particular, though, with how Lurker's portal magic works. 17:13 < Faceless> Yup and Temple still can be dropped on random universes 17:13 <@Adelene> *nod* 17:14 <@Adelene> I somewhat expect that won't happen? Or not much, at least; less often than Lurker opening portals to random worlds. 17:16 < Faceless> Well, depends on the time scale. I mean, Temple ages normally and de-ages when he gets a shiny new body 17:17 < Faceless> and he would explore the relevant new world he would find himself. 17:17 <@Adelene> *nod* 17:17 <@Adelene> I don't think we're looking at that long of a timescale. 17:17 <@Adelene> Several years but probably not several decades. 17:22 < Faceless> *nods* 17:32 <@Adelene> *ponders setup* 17:33 <@Adelene> I do want Lurker to have some sort of access to otherworldly magical gear, but I'm not sure if I want that to be OTC or the Bazar or something else entirely. 17:34 <@Adelene> I like the OTC and would definitely be interested in having it as a functional character here, but it'd be very VERY interested in Lurker's magic in a way that might affect things too much. 17:35 <@Adelene> Like, they probably can't just solve all Lurker's problems for her, still, but they do provide a win button for most of the subplots we could come up with. 17:36 < Teceler> are there tradeoffs for Lurker re: letting them do that? 17:36 < Teceler> or rather what are the tradeoffs, really 17:37 <@Adelene> There could be, I'll have to talk to Eva. Lurker is inclined to be suspicious about what they'll do with what she gives them, so that's a thing. 17:37 -!- rockeye has quit 17:38 <@Adelene> But her portal magic is a pretty potent superstimulus for the OTC iirc, they'd be trying very hard to convince her to play ball with them. 17:38 < Teceler> that's true, yeah 17:39 <@Adelene> The Bazar is more neutral - it theoretically gives her access to about the same range of stuff, but there's a lot more inconvenience involved in finguring out what might solve her problem and finding it and figuring out how to trade for it. 17:39 <@Adelene> So it's much less of a win button. 17:39 * Teceler nods. 17:40 <@Adelene> Downside there being I'd have to run it myself, and I don't really want to. *chuckle* 17:40 < Teceler> ha 17:40 < Teceler> point 17:40 <@Adelene> And it might be fun, with the OTC. I'll need to talk to Eva and see what that would tend to look like in practice. 17:42 <@Adelene> (Thoughts on dropping this instance of Lurker on Firewall and/or Fallen London, btw? ^^) 17:43 < Faceless> man, I completely forgot about fallen london! >.> 17:45 < Teceler> I have had thoughts about Fallen London, I mentioned those I think? 17:45 < Teceler> Firewall is kinda... you'd have to find a way to do it that would not immediately cause them to freak out about security, while also winding up with interacting with them 17:47 < Faceless> Teceler, what do you say about both worlds receiving a new kind of magic? 17:47 < Teceler> what kind? 17:48 < Faceless> Temple's kind, not sure you are familiar... 17:48 < Teceler> I don't /think/ so 17:48 <@Adelene> Mm, how /badly/ do we need them to not freak out about security? 'Cause it seems to me that the obvious thing to do is have her turn up in a public area and not realize that there's surveillance even when there's no visible people to see her teleporting. 17:49 <@Adelene> Which certainly seems like it'd get a !!! out of Firewall, but not nearly as bad of one as if she popped up in one of their bases or something. 17:49 < Teceler> that... would draw their attention and not /necessarily/ result in a firefight! 17:49 < Teceler> yes 17:49 < Teceler> I do noooot advise her popping up in one of their bases 17:49 <@Adelene> Portalbold is pretty decent at dealing with firefights, even! In that she will opt out of them as soon as she figures out what's going on. 17:50 < Teceler> yes, but that kind of results in not further interaction, I bet 17:50 <@Adelene> Depends on what-all she sees before they scare her off. 17:50 < Teceler> point 17:50 < Teceler> (Firewall: aaaa.) 17:50 <@Adelene> Like, yes, she runs home, but teleporting is a /really good/ defense, so if she has a reason to come back she might. 17:51 <@Adelene> *giggle* 17:52 < Teceler> that makes sense 17:53 < Teceler> Faceless, were you going to explain Temple's kind of magic? 17:53 <@Adelene> If they try talking to her at all it'll probably work out fine. She's not inclined to hide that she can't teleport to places she hasn't been except on a 'random within the world' basis, and it seems like they'd ask questions in that direction pretty early on. 17:54 < Teceler> Firewall is fairly inclined to try diplomacy first if she doesn't seem exsurgent'd (and doesn't seem to be attacking them) yeah. they are still. concerned about her being a vector for the virus. though. 17:54 < Faceless> sorry, I got distracted. Temple's magic is basically: He can /give/ you a innate spell-word that you can use wheneve, and once you have that you can also memorize spells kinda like a DnD wizard. You can have only one of a kind of spell memorized at time, but otherwise there is no limit. 17:55 <@Adelene> (Also: Shooting at someone who can teleport seems like not the best tactical option? Unless you have reason to think you can disrupt the teleportation. Or, like. Snipers, she is weak to snipers.) 17:56 < Teceler> they do have snipers, yes. also it is effective at getting them to leave! (and if she teleports into one of their bases their reaction is pretty knee-jerk) 17:57 < Teceler> iiiinteresting. what exactly do the spell-words do, and what is the difference between those and spells? (and what are the kinds of spells?) 17:59 < Faceless> spell-words = spells. I have conceptualize them a lot like D&D spells actually. So you can do stuff like summon things, teleport, heal, protect, etc. People start with a spell-word that is (for reference sake) similar to a third level D&D spell, and they can train to get more innates, of varied power levels. 18:00 < Teceler> (...also depending on /what/ base she teleported into the reaction might be 'set off the failsafe nuke'. they do nooot take surprises in bases with TITAN things for study casually) 18:00 <@Adelene> yyyeah. *giggle* 18:01 < Teceler> Faceless: Niryl is interested in this! 18:02 < Teceler> (Niryl is generally interested in this kind of thing though XD) 18:02 < Faceless> Teceler, xD 18:02 < Teceler> ...Niryl is rather Concerned if they have a sunlight spell though 18:03 < Faceless> The spell-word is usually personality-and-usefulness-based 18:03 <@Adelene> Lurker can actually more or less do sunlight. 18:03 < Teceler> Niryl: oooooh. 18:04 < Faceless> I was thinking that the entire spell-word magic and other related reincarnation magic works by "helping you keep being the person you are" 18:04 <@Adelene> Any instance of her that can make a see-magic spell can. 18:04 < Teceler> ...Niryl's reaction to that depends on whether that produces anything like FL!sunlight 18:04 < Teceler> but her immediate reaction to that statement is some degree of aaa. 18:04 < Faceless> What is niryl again? I am really rusty on the FL front 18:04 <@Adelene> Might. Depends what the deal is exactly with FL sunlight. 18:05 < Teceler> Niryl is my FL character. Neathy human. 18:05 <@Adelene> Also there's very little reason for it to come up, from that direction. The more likely source of aaa is that Lurker tends to make little portals to light things with. 18:05 < Faceless> what is the problem with sunlight? 18:05 < Teceler> Niryl: aaaaaa. 18:06 <@Adelene> yup *giggle* 18:06 < Teceler> ...I can explain the thing with sunlight in #Correspondence, if you both want it explained 18:06 <@Adelene> Presumably she doesn't end up going topside in FL, so any portals she does like that will be Carp sunlight rather than FL sunlight, but. Yes. *giggle* 18:07 < Teceler> yeah XD 18:18 -!- Jarnvidr has quit 18:32 <@Adelene> So, that having been said I suspect Carp sunlight is just fine, and other worlds probably are too but it might be a case-by-case-basis thing. 18:33 * Teceler nods. 18:33 <@Adelene> But Niryl is justified in going aaaaa anyway. *giggle* 18:33 < Faceless> poor niryl 18:34 < Teceler> yuuuup 18:34 <@Adelene> If we feel like being nice we could have it be night in Carp the first time Lurker does that. 18:35 <@Adelene> Given how I expect Lurker's plan to shake out it's even unusually likely. 18:35 < Teceler> hm? 18:36 <@Adelene> (I expect the plan to be 'summers traveling around to find other kobolds, autumns helping her tribe gather food, winters exploring other worlds, springs for whatever else comes up'.) 18:36 < Teceler> ah 18:37 <@Adelene> Being able to teleport: super convenient. Those things can overlap some even though they're in very much distant locations from one another. ^^ 18:37 < Teceler> ha, yeah 18:43 < Faceless> how Firewall would react to spell-words? 18:44 <@Adelene> There's kind of a broader question of how much interdimensional travel Temple is going to be doing and whether/how much he's going to be following Lurker. 18:44 < Teceler> ...on one hand, they're something they could use against the exsurgent virus. on the other, they're probably something the TITANs could get too? (at the very least, by infecting people who have them) 18:45 < Teceler> ...also how does the interact with resleeving 18:45 <@Adelene> (Three person roleplays are hard.) 18:45 < Teceler> and forks 18:45 < Teceler> yeah, they are 18:45 < Faceless> I was asking more out of curiosity than planning 18:45 <@Adelene> ok 18:46 <@Adelene> Yeah, Firewall does nnnnot want Lurker sharing her magic with anybody, huh. ^^ 18:47 < Faceless> I sort of don't want to give TITANs the ability to spellcast, or that it might have some weird effects with them 18:47 < Faceless> also memorized spells might not interact well with being with perfect memory (meaning: mental damage) 18:47 < Teceler> ...I mean, if she can set up exsurgent infection as a trigger to disable it, and is sensible about who she gives it to, they don't mind her making spellbearers 18:48 < Teceler> but, yeah 18:48 < Teceler> (can and does, I mean) 18:49 < Teceler> Faceless: oh dear. 18:50 < Faceless> ? 18:50 <@Adelene> I don't think she can set up exsurgent infection as a deactivation trigger without seeing an insurgent infection in action (asyncs might be sufficient?), but even if she can't do that she can give people spells that can only be used a certain number of times. 18:51 <@Adelene> Which is somewhat dangerous but much less so than free-use ones. 18:51 * Teceler nods. 18:52 < Faceless> Teceler, why "oh dear"? 18:52 < Teceler> oh sorry 18:53 < Teceler> like, preeetttty much everyone in Eclipse who doesn't run on wetware, and some of them with cybernetics, effectively has a perfect memory 18:55 < Faceless> hum... it is possible to somehow relax/disable that perfect memory for a time period? I think this could be avoided if they turned it off while memorizing the spell and let it settle on the wetware bits 18:56 < Teceler> for biomorphs, possibly 18:56 < Teceler> synthmorphs and infomorphs don't /have/ wetware bits 18:57 < Faceless> *nods* 18:57 < Faceless> it sounds like something fixable, but only in so far they can make their memories low fidelity for a time period 18:58 < Teceler> I have no idea 18:58 < Faceless> albeit non-biomorphs should still be able to safely use inate spellwords and also spellbooks 18:58 < Teceler> ...the thing might be able to just damage the records, though, without collateral damage, if it's accurate enough 18:59 < Teceler> *the relevant eXperience Playback records 19:02 < Faceless> actually, the safest solution is probably just erase those records before the spell is cast. 19:02 < Teceler> ...how do you cast it, then? 19:05 <@Adelene> RLwise, memory isn't all one thing, you can totally have something in working memory without having it in long-term memory. 19:05 < Teceler> true 19:05 < Teceler> I'm not sure how this interacts with Eclipse tech, but true 19:06 <@Adelene> If hardware brains were made based on the same architecture as wetware brains I bet they work in pretty closely analogous ways at very least. 19:07 < Faceless> Teceler, not sure what you meant? The act memorizing sort of "builds" the spell in your mind/spirit and it stays there until you command it to be activated, You can forget how it was memorized the normal way and will remain there decades later 19:07 < Teceler> ah 19:07 <@Adelene> Might run into trouble with some of the uplifted-type AIs, but for most people I bet it's just not a problem once they work out how to do it. 19:07 < Teceler> and Adelene, true 19:07 < Faceless> the damage happens because the spell is sort of... it doesn't belong to you in a spiritual level and forces it ways out when it is cast. 19:09 < Faceless> it is not a lot of damage, for standard-human minded folks even if the spell is powerful, but perfect memory excalates it, if that makes sense? 19:10 < Teceler> mm. if you wrote down instructions for it on something, would they stop existing without special measures? 19:17 < Faceless> define "wrote down" ? The problem happens if there is memorized spell attached to those instructions, they would stop existing in that case. 19:17 < Teceler> like 19:17 < Teceler> how do people memorize spells? 19:21 < Faceless> I sort of want to keep the exact /words/ vague, but it is basically reading and re-reading the spell instruction/description over and over, until it clicks. You don't *have* to be able to recite the entire thing, but you will certainly get the spell memorized if you do. 19:29 < Faceless> was that confusing? 19:50 < Xom> hi 19:50 < Xom> imxom 19:51 < Faceless> hi xom! 19:51 < Faceless> how are you doing? 19:51 < Xom> fine 19:51 < Xom> good to be on break 19:51 < Xom> what worlds' spells are we talking about memorizing 19:52 < Faceless> finals? 19:52 < Xom> went well aside from hand damage 19:52 < Faceless> mine's 19:52 < Faceless> hand damage? 19:52 < Xom> i think i never learned how to hold a pencil right? 19:52 < Xom> so i had blisters on my middle finger and thumb 19:53 < Teceler> oh, sorry Faceless, I got distracted 19:53 < Faceless> urgh 19:53 < Faceless> Teceler, it happens 19:53 < Teceler> Xom, owww 19:53 < Xom> the calculus final was incredibly long and had a lot of writing full sentences for a math exam 19:53 < Faceless> Xom, I feel mild pain whenever I try to write anything lately too xP 19:54 < Xom> my hand has healed since 19:54 <@Adelene> ...Xom, go ask Google to tell you about hypermobile joints. 19:55 < Xom> but yeah i know how memorizing spells in Zot works and it's very simple to do but kind of strange 19:56 < Xom> you take the book and, essentially, declare to yourself that you wish to memorize a particular spell in it, then acknowledge the cost in spell levels 19:56 < Xom> it feels very similar to assigning points to skills after drinking a potion of experience 19:57 < Xom> i'm sure zot is the only world that works exactly like that connected to the forums 19:57 < Xom> adelene: i don't think i have hypermobile joints i think i just have the usual motor skills issues from mild autism 19:58 < Xom> unless there was another reason to research this? 19:58 < Faceless> Xom, that spell thing is hilarious xD 19:59 <@Adelene> Hypermobile joints are also an autism thing. 20:00 < Xom> it's kind of like how reading a scroll from Zot doesn't require you to be literate, only able to see and competently pretend to read 20:00 <@Adelene> And holding pencil-type stuff with the middle finger rather than the index finger points to them. I do that for exactly that reason. 20:00 < Xom> huh 20:01 < Xom> the thing is i don't really hold it with my middle finger? i hold it with my index finger and it rubs against the side of my middle finger 20:02 < Xom> my index finger doesn't get blisters because it's touching the pencil with its pad, not the joint like my thumb does or the side like my middle finger 20:03 <@Adelene> mm... I'm suspicious anyway. And you might be able to get accommodations (the option to type for your tests, most likely) if there is something going on there. 20:04 < Xom> I actually already do have the ability to type essay exams set up already - it's just that neither me nor my teacher thought about how much extra writing the final had compared to the other exams 20:04 < Xom> she told me that if she had she would have told me to bring a computer and type it in LaTeX like I do my homework 20:07 < Xom> in any case, i got the highest score in my class and there was a linear shift so effectively I got 100% on the final 20:09 < Faceless> :D 20:09 <@Adelene> ^^ 20:18 < Faceless> Xom is demo? 20:18 < Xom> yeah 20:18 < Faceless> ok, just remembering 20:19 < Xom> imxom but also imdemo 20:19 < Faceless> besides Firewall, anyone have an interesting idea for a sci-fi setting where dropping Temple might be interesting? 20:20 < Teceler> hm 20:24 < Faceless> the bazaar from Lurker x Elarron sandbox is the FL bazaar? 20:24 < Teceler> I don't htink so 20:25 < Xom> who was Temple again? 20:25 < Teceler> for one thing iirc they don't have translation devices :P 20:25 < Xom> i have an idea for a sci-fi setting but i dunno if it would be interesting for Temple in particular 20:26 < Faceless> Xom, Temple, my character shows up here http://glowfic.dreamwidth.org/27296.html and http://glowfic.dreamwidth.org/25374.html 20:26 <@Adelene> The Bazaar from Lurker x Elarron is the Myth universe one. (The Myth universe has shown up elsewhere in glowfic but only like once.) 20:26 < Faceless> he is a male version of Temperance which a character that also shows up here http://glowfic.dreamwidth.org/12298.html 20:27 < Faceless> Myth? 20:27 <@Adelene> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythAdventures 20:27 < Faceless> oh right 20:28 < Faceless> sorry the generic name confused me >.> 20:28 < Xom> brb rdng 20:29 < Faceless> rdng = reading? 20:29 < Xom> yes 20:31 < Xom> ok when i read the phrase 'spell-like abilities' i immediately assumed the d&d definition 20:33 < Xom> as opposed to 'things a being can do that are not necessarily Abilities but are like spells in ways that are not necessarily Spell-Like' 20:33 < Xom> and then i was confused when the world wasn't a d&d world 20:33 < Faceless> where you read "spell-like abilities"? 20:34 < Xom> 27296, "...Are you some kind of magical creature I haven't heard of that gets spell-like abilities?" 20:34 < Xom> i am easily amused 20:35 < Faceless> ah, you are reading that, somehow I didn't parse as that. 20:35 < Faceless> and I am also easily amused it is a great trait ^^ 20:36 < Xom> oh right yes i am reading the things that were linked 20:36 < Xom> to discover facts about Temple 20:37 < Xom> ... and by "discover facts" i don't mean "create three random facts and choose one to add to my hand" 20:37 < Xom> because this isn't hearthstone 20:38 < Faceless> pft what? xD 20:38 < Xom> "Discover {description}" is a keyword that means "Create three random cards that meet {description} and choose one to add to your hand" 20:39 < Faceless> and how that relates with "hearthstone"? 20:39 < Xom> a keyword in the game of Hearthstone 20:40 < Xom> which is an online CCG 20:42 < Faceless> ah, i knew it was a game, but for some reason thought it was something more like LoL 20:43 < Faceless> *brb* 20:43 < Xom> well Blizzard also made a MOBA (game like LoL) but that's called Heroes of the Storm 20:43 * Xom continues reading 20:46 < Xom> so far i'm getting the impression that the idea i had would in fact be interesting 20:47 < Xom> that idea being XCOM 20:50 < Faceless> dropping Temple in the XCOM's world? 20:50 < Xom> yeah 20:50 < Xom> the main reason that idea had been floating in my head was because i had been contemplating writing about them since certain shadowy organizations appeared on the MWF 20:51 < Faceless> Aliens vs Wizards! 20:51 < Xom> basically to write a shadowy organization that wasn't evil 20:51 < Xom> and was actually very reasonable 20:51 < Faceless> why they are shadowy? 20:51 < Teceler> Firewall: [continues to not be evil] 20:52 < Xom> Eh, I hadn't heard much (or possibly anything) about Firewall at the point I had the idea 20:52 < Faceless> teceler, that is just what it wants you to think! 20:52 < Xom> main reason they're shadowy is just that the tech they use is very highly classified 20:52 < Teceler> Faceless, no 20:52 < Xom> and their existence *was* classified until the aliens showed up 20:53 < Xom> at which point it's kind of hard to stay classified while you have troops on the ground rescuing civilians 20:54 < Faceless> yeah, that is like a major no-no for keeping things secret 20:54 < Xom> XCOM's director's identity is still a secret though, even from the player 20:55 < Xom> and I probably would have ended up using his dialogue image for the poster's avatar 20:56 < Xom> which is *literally* shadowy 20:56 < Teceler> pft 20:56 < Faceless> xD 20:57 < Faceless> god, if he somehow ever manages to get a spell-word it should "shadow-cover" or something, guess what it would do? 20:58 < Xom> put him and everyone within 5 tiles in stealth? 20:59 < Xom> or maybe just him 20:59 < Xom> depends on whether he ever would go on a mission himself 21:00 < Faceless> pft. I was thinking more like making him actually covered in shadows, so he is a Mysterious Shadowy Figure no matter the light. 21:00 < Xom> hahaha 21:00 < Xom> yes great 21:01 < Xom> not sure whether Temple would actually end up talking to him much though 21:02 < Faceless> I know, but I can dream xD 21:02 < Faceless> and my dreams can be amusing ^_^ 21:02 < Xom> or just people like Dr. Vahlen, Dr. Shen, and Central Officer Bradford 21:03 < Xom> and, of course, the player 21:04 < Xom> who i forgot the in-world term for 21:04 < Faceless> I am not aware who those are? NPCs part of your squad? 21:05 < Xom> people around the base 21:06 < Xom> Vahlen is the lead scientist, Shen is the lead engineer, and Bradford is your second-in-command 21:06 < Xom> also the player is the "Commander" 21:06 < Xom> which i always forget since it's too similar to the Director 21:06 < Faceless> do they come with a personality? 21:06 < Xom> yeah 21:06 < Xom> or at least voice actors 21:06 < Xom> and lines 21:07 < Xom> http://xcom.wikia.com/wiki/Category:XCOM_Personnel_(XCOM:_Enemy_Unknown) 21:10 < Xom> the main thing I myself noticed about them was Vahlen generally advocates more reckless actions in the name of progress, Shen advocates restraint, and Bradford is just sort of there 21:11 < Faceless> enough they would get powers somehow based on that? 21:11 < Xom> possibly, at least in the case of Vahlen 21:14 < Faceless> tvtropes' profile for Bradford include "Generic Guy" so you aren't the only one that thinks he is just there xD 21:15 < Xom> yeah 21:15 < Xom> Vahlen and Shen feel like characters, Bradford feels like a game mechanic 21:16 * Faceless nods 21:17 < Faceless> It makes me want to find a extremely generic spell to give to him, but I can't come up with one that is generic enough 21:17 < Xom> I mean really, the *soldiers* feel more like characters than Bradford does, and they have unbounded number 21:18 < Xom> but that's probably because the soldiers are customizable so it's easy to project 21:19 < Faceless> the soldiers have stock phrases? 21:19 < Xom> several sets of stock phrases, one for each 'nationality' you can pick as a soldier's voice 21:20 < Faceless> oooh, I see how that would add to a lot of projected personality 21:20 -!- Jarnvidr has joined #backstage 21:25 < Faceless> hi Jarnvidr o/ 21:28 < Xom> also there's stuff about Meld that Temple may or may not want to have anything to do with 21:29 < Xom> oh and hi person-unfamiliar-to-me! 21:31 < Faceless> Meld being? 21:32 < Xom> a material the aliens have that allows one to permanently alter one's own genes and have the changes take effect rapidly 21:32 < Xom> with the right equipment, of course 21:32 < Xom> http://xcom.wikia.com/wiki/Meld 21:33 < Faceless> ofc, he would be curious about it, Temple/Temperances are curious about things. He might even want to partake it depending on the particulars 21:34 < Xom> the two options XCOM has for using meld are either "you sit in a capsule for a few weeks while your body melts and reforms with some new superpower" or "we remove all your limbs and put you in a slightly-larger-than-human robot" 21:35 <@Adelene> >.> 21:35 < Faceless> that... is a bit extreme. How good is the super-power? or the robot? 21:36 < Xom> http://xcom.wikia.com/wiki/Gene_Mods http://xcom.wikia.com/wiki/MEC_Trooper 21:36 < Xom> both are pretty badass 21:37 < Faceless> are you conscious during the weeks of body-melting? 21:37 < Xom> probably not? 21:37 < Xom> like, even the 'body melts and reforms' bit is fanon 21:37 < Xom> all the game really shows is they get put in a capsule and are unavailable for N days 21:38 < Xom> oh actually looking at the article, i guess in the vanilla game it's only 3 days not several weeks 21:38 < Xom> dunno where I got several weeks from, maybe the "long war" mod or maybe i confused it with critical injuries or something 21:38 < Xom> since being injured also makes you unavailable for N days 21:40 < Faceless> Well, Temple might actually be interested, keep in mind that when his current body dies he is reset with a new one. Plus he really ough to acquire a limb-regeneration magic at some point? 21:41 < Xom> also it's not like you're permanently stuck being giant 21:41 < Xom> MEC Troopers that aren't in a giant robot have an alternate robot suit known as "Base Augments" 21:42 < Xom> which are pretty similar to modern prosthetic limbs, just a little better 21:42 < Faceless> for normal day stuff that requires less alien killing? 21:42 < Xom> yeah 21:43 < Xom> this also means you can have multiple MEC Troopers with only one MEC suit between them 21:43 < Xom> though of course you then wouldn't be able to deploy more than one simultaneously 21:45 < Xom> Temple could also undergo psionic testing 21:45 < Xom> though i'm not sure whether reincarnating in the XCOM world would grant him a chance of being psionic 21:46 < Faceless> How that works? 21:46 < Faceless> Likely it wouldn't, not with his particular way of reicarnating 21:47 < Xom> You sit in a capsule that is substantially more comfortable than the gene-mod capsule and have a psionic machine poke at your mind for 10 days then you find out if you're psionic and learn how to use some basic psi abilities 21:47 < Faceless> Can you read during that time? what "capsule" means? 21:48 < Xom> http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/xcom/images/9/9a/Psionic_Lab.png/revision/latest?cb=20121110085330 21:48 < Xom> no idea 21:49 < Xom> actually, better picture: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/xcom/images/d/d2/XComEU_Facility_-_Psionic_Labs_cinematic.png/revision/latest?cb=20140131033802 21:49 < Xom> and I have no idea why there are five shown when only three soldiers can be tested at once 21:51 < Faceless> he /might/ try, but he is genetically the kind of human from his original world, so he wouldn't get psionics unless it was an outside factor thingie 21:52 < Xom> actually, in regard to the 'can you read during that time', I would imagine that you're probably asleep 21:52 < Xom> possibly dreaming, possibly unusual dreams 21:53 -!- linkhyrule5 has joined #backstage 21:53 < Xom> hey link 21:53 < linkhyrule5> mrnng 21:53 < Faceless> that sounds better actually 21:53 < Faceless> hi link! 21:53 < Teceler> hello link! 21:54 < Teceler> you okay there? 21:54 < linkhyrule5> whoever invented mornings needs to fail their Universe Creation class 21:54 * linkhyrule5 is sleeeeepy 21:54 < Teceler> [hug] 21:54 < linkhyrule5> harro 21:54 * linkhyrule5 hugs 21:54 < Xom> but what if mornings are an unavoidable consequence of day and night 21:55 < Xom> or what if i, xom, invented mornings 21:55 < Xom> and did so just to mess with you 21:56 < Faceless> what if xom invented *dramatic pause* MONDAY MORNINGS?? 21:57 * Xom roars with laughter! 21:57 <@Sonata> Monday mornings are not nearly random enough. They happen on a fixed schedule. 21:57 < linkhyrule5> *snerk* 21:57 < Teceler> pft 21:58 < Xom> well, i mean, in my own world instead of weekdays we just have an infinite series of tuesdays 21:59 < linkhyrule5> .... why would you dthat? 21:59 < linkhyrule5> Like seriously 21:59 < Xom> and some tuesday mornings are worse than other tuesday mornings for no discernible reason 21:59 < linkhyrule5> tuesdays are like the best days of the week 21:59 * linkhyrule5 isconfused by the lack of malicious intent 21:59 < Faceless> pft haahahahahahaha 21:59 < Teceler> pffft 21:59 < Xom> the infinite series of tuesdays was elyvilon's fault 21:59 < Teceler> pfffffft 22:00 < Xom> Zin and TSO wanted to have seven-day weeks like you do here 22:02 < Xom> ahahah i'm at the part where Temple misinterpets "we have electricity as a utility like you would have running water" as "we have the natural phenomenon of electricity" 22:02 < Faceless> and ely disagreed because? 22:03 < Teceler> and Xom I assume didn't want any time management system at all 22:03 < Faceless> xom, I might be a bit too proud of that xD 22:03 < linkhyrule5> *is amused* 22:03 < Xom> ely disagreed because it was too holy and not enough good 22:03 < Xom> or something like that 22:04 < Xom> i went along with her because "infinite series of tuesdays" was funnier than a seven day cycle 22:04 < Xom> i mean, they didn't even have the courtesy of making it twenty-seven days long 22:04 < linkhyrule5> hahah 22:04 < Faceless> xD 22:04 < Xom> everyone, and i mean EVERYONE knows twenty-seven is the best number 22:05 < linkhyrule5> now I'm imagining a world where building a house automatically creates utilities to go with it 22:05 < linkhyrule5> even if they have no source 22:05 < Teceler> no, obviously the Number is 7 :P 22:05 < linkhyrule5> if you build a cabin in the woods you get electricity and running water 22:05 < linkhyrule5> feels like it'd be a Sims offshoot 22:05 < Xom> hahahahahah 22:05 < Teceler> I think -- ha 22:05 < Xom> outstanding 22:05 < linkhyrule5> No, you are number 2. 22:05 < linkhyrule5> :P 22:05 < linkhyrule5> (Comma placement optional) 22:05 * linkhyrule5 makes obscure reference! 22:06 < Xom> "twelve is almost five" is a running joke in some group i'm in for whatever reason 22:06 < Faceless> (likhyrule are you thinking of a specifc game?) 22:07 < Teceler> I was going to say I think Lizzie's world that I am currently blanking on the name of does that 22:08 < Faceless> goal? 22:08 < Teceler> yes, Goal! 22:09 < Faceless> soccer reference: GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL! 22:09 * Teceler sighs. 22:09 < Faceless> :/ ? 22:09 < Xom> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUi8Yl-_Ylo 22:15 <@Adelene> So Faceless, I talked to Eve and we worked out a way to bring OTC in without upsetting the power balance too much, and I think now the question is whether we want to start with Lurker having a translation gizmo or not. The main advantage on my side is that she'll be less freaked out about talking to him if she's using her own magic to do it, but that might not really matter. Thoughts? 22:16 < Faceless> I like the idea of lurker having a translation gizmo 22:18 <@Adelene> It'll make it easier for them to start talking if she already has it and he can go '...wait, that's a /very/ different kind of magic from the others I've seen here, how'd you get that'. 22:18 -!- Teceler has quit 22:19 <@Adelene> Ok, that does seem like a yes. I'll talk to Eve. ^^ 22:19 < Faceless> it was a yes for my part. I like Lurker and don't want to distress her too much 22:19 < Faceless> precious portalbold ^_^ 22:20 <@Adelene> hee ^^ 22:24 < Xom> well time to play league of legends i guess 22:24 < Faceless> good luck 22:35 -!- Teceler has joined #backstage 22:35 < Teceler> ...huh, apparantly my connection dropped 22:35 < Faceless> it happens to the best of us 22:36 < Teceler> what did I miss? last thing I saw what Adelene talking about having talked to Evenstar 22:43 <@Adelene> (12/13/2015 9:15:05 PM) Adelene: So Faceless, I talked to Eve and we worked out a way to bring OTC in without upsetting the power balance too much, and I think now the question is whether we want to start with Lurker having a translation gizmo or not.

04:41 < Xom> okay quick question has anyone here played undertale 04:42 < Andygal> Haven't 04:42 < Xom> i am asking for reasons explained in my twitter timeline ( https://twitter.com/Sillyman0 ) 04:44 < Xom> because i want to stop being a grumpus about it but i also don't want to spend money+time on something that will utterly disappoint me 05:24 < Xom> oh also there is at least one story i know of featuring crabs with the power to teleport you to inconvenient places if they touch you 05:24 < Xom> they are incredibly rude 05:24 < Xom> i love them 05:26 <@Adelene> I haven't but I did run into a criticism of its plot/premise/core mechanical whatsit that you may find useful. 05:27 < Xom> sure, link it to me 05:27 <@Adelene> finding 05:35 <@Adelene> (still looking, seems like I had the wrong blog) 05:41 <@Adelene> ...I appear to have lost it entirely, weird. Upshot was that even though you don't have to /fight/, it's pretty much unavoidable that you play by 'repairing' initially-hostile relationships, which is a disconcertingly abuselike dynamic. 05:41 < Xom> hmm 05:43 < Xom> well thanks for looking 05:43 <@Adelene> no problem 05:44 < Xom> I'm not sure that that part exactly would be terribly disconcerting to me 05:44 < Xom> I'm more concerned with being bored than I am with being weirded out 05:44 <@Adelene> *nod* 05:45 < Xom> the part of homestuck that stopped me was, as far as I could tell, when it started to get more serious 05:45 < Xom> the author was good at telling jokes but either really bad at drama or i just don't like drama or a combination of those two things 05:46 <@Adelene> *nod* 05:47 < Andygal> I kind of got tired of all the confusing time shenanigans. 05:47 <@Adelene> I read farther into homestuck than most people apparently do before deciding it's not for them, but I did - I didn't really care about any of the characters and while there sure was a lot of stuff happening it didn't really seem to have a coherent/readable plot. 05:48 < Xom> I think that's the major thing, actually: being expected to care about characters 05:49 < Xom> If enjoying the story absolutely requires that I care deeply about several characters, I just can't do it 05:50 < Xom> deeply and personally, rather 05:51 < Xom> I can deal with confusing time shenanigans - I mean, I read Problem Sleuth all the way through and loved it 05:52 < Xom> and that, I realize, is why I'm worried about Undertale - a lot of the compliments I've heard it receive and hype I've seen about it are about the characters 05:57 < Xom> thanks for helping me stumble onto that realization, adelene 05:57 <@Adelene> :) 05:59 < Xom> so now i just have to figure out if the rest of the good things about undertale make it playable for someone who doesn't care about the characters 05:59 < Xom> or if it relies too much on them 05:59 <@Adelene> *nod* 06:00 <@Adelene> Seems like a let's play might clear that up pretty quickly? 06:00 < Xom> and that's hard to do from all the hype since a lot of it is coming from the homestuck fandom, who are pre-selected for caring about characters in the way that i don't 06:00 < Xom> maybe 06:02 < Xom> but the let's play I read immediately focused on the story 06:02 < Xom> and so I stopped reading it after a couple pages 06:02 <@Adelene> *nod* I was thinking a youtube one. 06:10 -!- Andygal has quit 06:13 < Xom> getting back to reading the LP I tried to read earlier and all of these posts are making me think that I would enjoy the game but only if I had it *thoroughly* spoiled beforehand 06:17 < Xom> like the level to which people are trying to avoid spoilers is making me believe the game is going to be super emotionally manipulative 06:17 < Xom> but the mechanics seem cool and novel 06:27 < linkhyrule5> .. "link it to me" 06:27 < Xom> http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3742647 06:28 < Xom> dunno if you can read it 06:28 < linkhyrule5> rather, I got pinged by that :P 06:28 < Xom> oh hahahahaha 06:28 < Xom> i thought you were asking me to perform the actions i asked others to 06:28 < Xom> put the wrong significance on the quotation marks, as it were 06:30 < Xom> well, you know, i get pinged by 'demo' so 06:30 < Xom> i understand the problem 10:14 < Xom> update: I have read enough of the LP to know that I made the right decision in reading it instead of playing the game 10:16 < Xom> it's an emotionally manipulative pile of garbage 10:32 < Xom> because people seem to think that's a good thing i won't elaborate further 10:33 < Xom> i am enjoying the part of the writing that isn't designed to hurt the player though 10:34 < Xom> and not actually playing the game removes enough investment that i can ignore those parts 11:55 -!- sonatagreen has joined #backstage 12:40 -!- linkhyrule5 has quit 13:11 -!- linkhyrule5 has joined #backstage 13:27 -!- sonatagreen has quit 14:03 -!- Adelene has quit 14:06 -!- Adelene has joined #backstage 14:06 -!- mode/#backstage [+o Adelene] by ChanServ 14:17 -!- linkhyrule5 has quit 14:21 -!- linkhyrule5 has joined #backstage 14:31 -!- rockeye has joined #backstage 14:32 < rockeye> hi 14:32 < rockeye> guise' 14:34 -!- Andygal has joined #backstage 15:24 -!- link_hyrule5 has joined #backstage 15:25 -!- linkhyrule5 has quit 16:01 -!- MTC has quit 18:55 -!- sonatagreen has joined #backstage 19:16 -!- Faceless has joined #backstage 19:16 < Faceless> hi again o/ 19:16 < Faceless> Adelene, Cordelia does sound like a interesting... target for Temple-dropping 19:16 <@Adelene> ^^ 19:18 <@Adelene> (I am kindasorta here but mostly not as I am very distracted with meal planning/cackling over my shiny new custom pasta salad concepts.) 19:18 < Faceless> hahaha 19:18 < Faceless> what pasta salad concepts if you don't mind sharing? 19:19 <@Adelene> I have really weird tastes and there's several common foods I can't eat, so I ended up getting ahold of 'The Flavor Thesaurus' and just going through the flavor combination suggestions and working out what I could put in a pasta salad from that - ended up with over 60 combination ideas, haven't worked out details for most of them yet. 19:20 <@Adelene> One of the more complex ones is pasta with banana chips, bacon chunks, orange flavored yogurt, and a tiny bit of mustard. Needs to sit a few days to let the flavors mingle but I'm looking forward to seeing if it works out the way I think it will. ^^ 19:21 < Faceless> that sounds interesting, not sure if I would like, I am the one guy that doesn't like bacon that much. 19:21 <@Adelene> Have you tried bacon with sweet stuff before? 19:22 < Faceless> No, I don't really eat it. 19:22 < Faceless> Anyway, one reason I find the idea of hitting Cordelia with a Temple is that Mileses are sort of... intimidating. I feel unworthy of even imagining him. 19:22 <@Adelene> It might not help, depending on what you don't like about bacon, but it's definitely different than it prepared as strictly savory. 19:22 <@Adelene> *chuckle* *nod* 19:26 < Faceless> I don't dislike bacon, it is just... not that special? Like people put up as high as fries or chocolate while to me is just "good". 19:28 <@Adelene> *nodnod* 19:30 < Faceless> How exactly a flavor thesaurus works? Does it compare flavors between things? offers combinations? 19:31 <@Adelene> Offers flavor combinations. 19:31 <@Adelene> The one I was reading also talks about the different ingredients in each flavor family and how they're similar/different, but that's not really a focus. 19:33 <@Adelene> Like, it groups anise and fennel and tarragon together since they all taste similar, and it talks about where you might want to use one vs. another a little, but I ended up just going with tarragon for all my recipes since it's easiest to work with - it comes in dried leaf form while anise only comes in seed and extract form and fennel only comes in seed and bulb. 19:53 * Faceless nods 19:55 < Faceless> What kind of personality powers Cordelia should get? 19:56 <@Adelene> *considers* *giggles* 19:57 <@Adelene> I honestly have trouble seeing her with anything that's /not/ a beam weapon of some sort? But not a destructive beam weapon, something more interesting than that. 19:57 <@Adelene> Kappa should really be the one to answer, though. 19:57 -!- sonatagreen is now known as Sonata 19:58 -!- mode/#backstage [+o Sonata] by ChanServ 19:58 < Faceless> I generally feel shy about poking Kappa, is Kappa pokeable? 19:58 <@Adelene> Kappa has in fact been poked. Not sure she's actually around, though. 19:59 <@Sonata> In the general case I think you'd have to ask Kappa how pokeball he wants to be? 19:59 -!- kappabeta has joined #backstage 19:59 -!- mode/#backstage [+o kappabeta] by ChanServ 19:59 <@Sonata> hello! 19:59 < Faceless> hi! 19:59 <@Adelene> ^^ 20:00 <@kappabeta> somebody was asking after cordelia and personality powers? 20:00 <@kappabeta> tell me more about these personality powers 20:00 <@Adelene> I think the lower bound of interestingness on Cordelia personality magic is probably a paralyzation beam of some sort. But I bet you can do better than that. 20:02 < Faceless> kappabeta, it was me... I was just musing about my magic system, but I am just... generally curious? 20:03 -!- Sonata is now known as sonatagreen 20:03 < Faceless> The not-set-in-stone criteria for spell-word power is that a power that sort of helps you keep being the person you are. 20:04 <@Adelene> (Alternately, I could very much see her with some sort of healing, or with something that protects others from mental control. The latter in particular is Very Cordelia.) 20:05 <@kappabeta> Ooh. 20:07 < Faceless> That does sound Very Cordelia ^ ^ 20:08 <@Adelene> My brain continues to insist that this comes in beam form rather than the more traditional touch-range thing, dunno why. 20:10 < Xom> because beams 20:10 < Faceless> healing/mind-shield could come in beam form 20:11 < Xom> beaaaaaaaam 20:12 * Faceless makes "pew, pew" noises 20:12 * Xom giggles 20:12 * Adelene snickers 20:14 < Faceless> I am picturing Cordelia going "Drop your weapons or I am going to protect the hell out of your mind" and Miles saying "She is totally going to! She is crazy!" because, nonsense. 20:18 < Faceless> ...which could happen in that potions ausj? 20:19 < Xom> to be fair, what if they were berserk and they needed to be berserk to survive the battle they were currently engaged in 20:19 <@kappabeta> hmm, I get the feeling a proper Cordelia mind-protection would be very... 20:20 <@kappabeta> target-directed? 20:20 < Xom> i mean, then protecting their mind might, depending on the exact parameters of the protection, drop them from berserk to exhausted+slowed (the same way running out the timer would be) 20:20 < Xom> (would do) 20:20 < Xom> (words are hard) 20:20 <@kappabeta> <3 20:21 <@Adelene> mmm... I sort of get the feeling she /could/ hurt someone with a personality-based magic, but she'd have to /mean/ to, it wouldn't pop up as a side effect even an exploitable one. 20:21 <@kappabeta> I think a Cordelia mind-protection might not be *quite* as exactly what-you-would-want as Esthfora, but would be in that general neighbourhood. 20:21 <@kappabeta> Depending on the affordances of the system, of course. 20:21 < Xom> Eh.... 'ceasing to be berserk' isn't really being hurt except inasmuch as it can be inconvenient in the middle of combat 20:22 <@kappabeta> But in a system with very little affordance for being the right sort of thing, she might just get a completely different power. 20:22 <@Adelene> 'hurt' for a value of hurt that includes /anything/ you wouldn't want her to do. :P 20:22 < Xom> But it sounds like the protection would at least share the Amulet of Clarity's property of letting you berserk at-will and only at-will 20:22 < Faceless> huh, I think a first spell word of mind-protection could work like Esthfora, but it might not 20:22 < Xom> ps i would totally sell an amulet of clarity to a bell 20:23 < Xom> actually, i would totally sell a cursed amulet of clarity to a bell 20:23 < Xom> if i found one with no native opacity 20:23 < Faceless> I am undecided enough that I feel like letting it slide towards the Esthfora side 20:24 < Xom> (keeping in mind cursed items from Zot have exactly the same effects as non-cursed items save for being unremovable, unlike in nethack-likes) 20:24 < Faceless> partially because it is Very Cordelia and it doesn't sound that much powerful/complicated once you already are dealing with minds 20:24 <@Adelene> Lurker, by the way, gets either some sort of multiplayer telepathy with saner Perfect Comprehension factors, or the ability to give others the ability to read body language Really Really Well. 20:25 < Xom> makes me wonder what Viridian's spell-word would be 20:26 < Faceless> Kappabeta, since you are here and if you don't mind me asking. Any ideas for the personality powers for our beloved Barraya=s? 20:26 < Xom> I mean, Viridian's major defining traits are flipping and being an optimist and I dunno how magic would help with either of those 20:27 < Faceless> Xom... flipping? 20:28 < Xom> yes, as in every time he tries to jump he ends up reversing gravity for himself and only himself 20:28 < Xom> I haven't posted as him in a long time 20:29 < Xom> actually wait I figured out what his spell-word is: it lets him flip in midair 20:29 < Xom> this is obviously completely overpowered 20:29 <@kappabeta> hahahahaha 20:30 < Faceless> pfhahahaha /obviously/ 20:31 <@Adelene> heeey I seem to have figured out how to make my meal planner give me sensible meal plans reliably. (of course the solution is obvious in retrospect) 20:31 <@kappabeta> <3 20:31 < Xom> congratulation! 20:31 <@kappabeta> what was it doing wrong and how did you fix? 20:32 < Faceless> congratulation x2 20:32 <@Adelene> It appears to have been failing poorly under 'it seems like I can't put enough protein in this day's plan' conditions; sticking to higher-protein crockpot meals rather than the higher-carb-lower-protein ones makes it not run into that problem. 20:33 <@Adelene> (well, mostly. I need to find some higher protein options for the other meal types too I bet, but that's hard.) 20:37 <@Adelene> The weird thing is that it wasn't failing in a way that /looked/ like it wasn't finding enough protein stuff, it was just, like, giving me meal plans with weird calorie counts or the same foods repeated too much or, like, half the meals not having any items in them sometimes and the other meals having a bunch of things and the numbers and ratios all weird. 20:38 < Xom> if something is impossible, relax every requirement not just the one that can't be met 20:39 <@Adelene> Whereas now - the day I'm looking at has waffles /and/ a cereal bar /and/ a marshmallow-stuffed baked apple scheduled, and the calorie count is within 30 of the target and the ratios are /perfect/. 20:40 <@Adelene> (Because it's getting 43 of the required 82 grams of protein from the chicken-bacon-cheese crockpot casserole.) 20:41 < Xom> i kind of want to eat the breakfast you just described right now 20:41 <@Adelene> *giggle* 20:42 < Andygal> seems like a bit too much for breakfast, in my opinion. 20:42 <@Adelene> Technically only the waffles are breakfast, the cereal bar and apple are snacks. 20:42 < Xom> eh it sounds like a perfectly reasonable breakfast+second breakfast 20:43 < Xom> that's what i thought 20:43 <@Adelene> I don't have the brain to make a stuffed apple first thing in the morning, unfortunately. 20:43 < Xom> fair 20:44 < Xom> i am presently eating a tunafish sandwich 20:44 < Andygal> Yeah I wouldn't have the brain to make something fancy for breakfast either. 20:44 < Andygal> which is part of my problem with large breakfasts. 20:45 <@Adelene> *nod* 20:46 <@Adelene> My breakfast options right now are 'waffles' 'sausage sandwich on waffles' 'sausage sandwich with cheese, on waffles' 'yogurt' and 'bacon'. And the bacon is kind of inadvisable. 20:46 <@kappabeta> <333 20:46 < Xom> that sounds like a perfect list to me 20:46 < Xom> except that i'd probably include waffles with the bacon 20:47 < Xom> for a waffle ratio of 80% 20:47 <@Adelene> heh. 20:47 < Andygal> what no eggs with your bacon? 20:48 <@Adelene> Hard boiled eggs are listed separately but haven't quite clicked as 'eat these in the morning' yet. 20:48 < Andygal> How about French toast? 20:49 <@Adelene> That comes in frozen, sure, I might look into it. 20:50 < Xom> it took me a couple seconds extra to distinguish between your names and it reminded me of that one time 20:50 <@Adelene> ONE OF US ^^ 20:55 < Andygal> hahaha 20:55 < Andygal> XD 20:59 <@Adelene> *finishes meal planning* *examines resulting grocery list* *is well pleased* 21:00 < Xom> :) 21:03 < Andygal> <3 21:14 < Faceless> ^^ 21:14 < Faceless> now I am hungry 21:14 < Andygal> I should also food. 21:21 < Faceless> I shouldn't food, but I want to >.> 22:03 -!- kappabeta has quit --- Day changed Wed Dec 16 2015 01:17 -!- MTC has joined #backstage 01:25 -!- Faceless has quit 01:34 -!- sonatagreen has quit 02:42 -!- rockeye has quit
