Why? Beats me. 21:14 < Teceler> brains, how do you work 21:15 <@Adelene> (I mean, I do have /slightly/ more of a clue than that, but, like. Only very slightly.) 21:54 <@Sonata> Huh. 21:54 <@Sonata> Glad you found a thing that works. 21:56 <@Adelene> *nod* 21:58 <@Adelene> It's kind of... the anxiety is a nesting thing, sort of? I seem to have this 'I should prepare for winter' instinct that kicks in around this time of year, but that sort of doesn't make sense with the rest of how I'm set up - my needs are in many ways not consistent enough to prep for like that - and remembering that I'm a shapeshifter kind of snaps that into focus properly. 22:20 -!- sky has quit 23:27 -!- Faceless has quit --- Day changed Mon Oct 12 2015 01:05 -!- MTC has joined #backstage 01:37 -!- VerdanZzz has joined #backstage 01:38 -!- VerdanZzz is now known as Verdancy 01:38 < Verdancy> I should be asleep but that is not the case 01:38 < Teceler> [hug] 01:38 < Teceler> hello! 01:38 < Andygal> Hi? 01:38 < Verdancy> *hugs* 01:38 < Verdancy> Hi! 01:38 < Teceler> I was just thinking something along those lines!

A house? A shop, a restaurant? 19:56 <@Adelene> (*prods disconsolately at etherpad*) 19:56 < Faceless> A Family and A "Building"? 19:57 <@Adelene> Sure. 19:59 < Teceler> that might be better summed up as 'Architecture'? 20:00 <@Adelene> kiiiind of? 'architecture' evokes more the aesthetic side of things, to me, and while there's definitely overlap, the interesting part if the functional side, I'd say. 20:21 < Faceless> yeah, and building would be like. "The tavern of the dancing monkey" or "The library of ivory walls" or something 20:22 <@Adelene> *nodnod* 20:26 < Faceless> and the exercize is for *makes vague gestures* going on a deeper level than I am currently going 20:27 < Faceless> like, of the actually-not-10-but-11 settings I had ideas last year, I didn't name a building on a single one 20:27 < Faceless> but at same time I don't want to get more typical world building disease, you know? 20:27 < Faceless> (when you focus too much on a single setting worldbuilding) 20:29 < Faceless> ...but I am going to add architecture somewhere, not as it's own category... maybe it could be like "specific cultural aspect"? 20:30 <@Adelene> cultural visual aesthetics? you do actually want more than one, in most cases. 20:31 <@Adelene> Like, things that were built in the 40s look different than things that were built in the 70s and things that are being built now look different from either of those, even when the former two have been maintained well. 20:32 < Faceless> "Aesthetic" sounds like a good name for the category 20:32 < Faceless> and plenty categories can be repeated, it wouldn't ideal, but coming up with 10 different cities is better than what I was doing before :p 20:33 <@Adelene> *nod* 20:36 <@Sonata> (the exception is if you have e.g. paper houses in a hurricane zone, so none of the buildings are more than a couple years old) 20:38 <@Adelene> *nod* Or highly nomadic people, like, tigerfolk yurts tend to be pretty consistently one of the two or three current models they use. 20:38 < Faceless> that totally counts as a architecture, or at least an architectural /fact/ 20:38 <@Sonata> sure 20:38 < Faceless> (that was at @paper houses) 20:38 <@Sonata> it's just, in certain cases you don't get the chance to accumulate /multiple/ styles in one place at one time 20:38 <@Adelene> (mmhmm) 20:38 < Faceless> tigerfolk is from skyrim? 20:39 <@Adelene> Carp tigerfolk. 20:39 < Teceler> no 20:39 < Faceless> ah 20:39 < Teceler> Carp/Dwarf Fortress 20:39 < Faceless> google failed me 20:39 <@Adelene> They are somewhat obscure in the original canon, there. ^^ 20:41 < Faceless> DF sounds like very opaque to me sometimes 20:41 <@Adelene> It can be, definitely. 20:42 <@Adelene> Like, it's still in alpha, and will probably be for at /least/ another decade? 20:42 <@Adelene> So things like 'game balance' and 'user interface' are, uh, less of a priority than you'd generally want out of something like it. 20:43 <@Adelene> It's still /playable/, obviously, but learning how requires a level of dedication that's not very common. 20:44 <@Adelene> (And then re-learning, at each major update - I still haven't put in the effort to figure out the new version.) 20:47 <@Adelene> (The very first version I tried had a basically game-breaking bug in the already tricky military setup part, and I never did manage to get over the resulting flinch reaction and tendency to deprioritize that. Which isn't a major problem in the old version, built defenses worked fine for keeping invaders out, but apparently the goblins are going to start being able to tear down walls soon, and, eeenh.) 20:50 <@Adelene> (On the other hand libraries and taverns look way cool. So I will probably cave eventually.) 20:50 < Faceless> wait, wait, WAIT 20:50 < Faceless> it's still in alpha? 20:50 < Faceless> o.o 20:50 <@Adelene> Yup. 20:50 < Teceler> yup 20:50 <@Adelene> heh. 20:50 * Faceless blinks confused 20:50 < Faceless> waaaat 20:50 < Teceler> open alpha 20:51 < Faceless> I gathered that, but wow 20:51 < Faceless> like double wow 20:51 < Teceler> hm? 20:51 <@Adelene> It uses a definition of 'alpha' that is maybe not the modern definition? But, yeah, core features are still in development. 20:52 <@Adelene> DF-the-program is an /absurdly large project/. ^^ 20:52 < Faceless> so.... why? 20:52 < Faceless> like, for real, why...? 20:52 <@Adelene> because it was there. :D 20:52 < Teceler> why what? 20:53 <@Adelene> or rather, because it wasn't, and Toady wanted it to be. ^^ 20:53 < Faceless> why it is taking so long 20:53 < Teceler> because it's /big/ 20:53 <@Adelene> 1) it's absurdly huge, 2) 95% of the code is being written by one guy. 20:53 < Teceler> and there aren't a ton of people working on it, or anything 20:54 <@Adelene> Pretty much this one program is Toady's career. 20:54 <@Adelene> And, like, that's working for him, I'm actually kind of in awe. ^^ 21:03 < Faceless> I could say the same, but it is like, more pure shock and confusion 21:09 < Faceless> how long he has been working on it? 21:09 < Faceless> does he have a day job? 21:10 <@Adelene> Not sure exactly but a significant number of years, and no, hasn't for a while now. 21:10 <@Adelene> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_Fortress 21:13 < Faceless> I have talking relatives that are younger than that game, cool 21:14 <@Adelene> *giggle* 21:15 < Faceless> and the creator looks exactly as I expected 21:16 < Faceless> (that wasn't a criticism) 21:16 <@Adelene> :) 21:23 * Adelene pokes at habitica, grumbles about the thing they want not existing. 21:23 <@Adelene> (habitica is habitRPG, they renamed it) 21:25 <@Adelene> what I want is... like, right now, habitica has its own drop system, and it's not bad, but it's also not really that good? like, it doesn't grab me, it's too generic, and while that makes sense - there's only the one drop system for everyone - it's still not great? 21:25 <@Adelene> what I /want/ is to be able to hook my habitica account up to, say, flight rising, and earn FR stuff by doing tasks. 21:26 < Faceless> pfft xD 21:26 < Faceless> send that suggestion to them? 21:26 <@Adelene> Maybe. 21:27 <@Adelene> Habitica's suggestion system is unfortunately very opaque and FR's admins aren't the most open to suggestion, though. 21:27 <@Adelene> And I'd kind of want more options than just FR, too. 21:29 <@Adelene> I do think that'd be a neat sort of system to have infrastructurally, though, where an app can focus on being an 'earn things by doing things' thing or a 'here's the things you earned' thing instead of having to hit the right notes with both kinds of content to make their userbase happy. 21:30 <@Adelene> (Like, I don't even play FR any more, and I probably /would/ if this sort of system was in place.) 21:33 <@Sonata> You could kind of do a manual thing? like, pick a profitable thing in FR that you can do, but only let yourself do it when you buy a corresponding custom reward in habitica? 21:33 <@Adelene> ick :P 21:34 <@Sonata> yeah 21:34 * Adelene finds arbitrary limits on what they're allowed to do like that to be highly unaesthetic. :P 21:34 <@Sonata> I really like the idea of games with APIs though 21:34 <@Adelene> *nodnod* 21:35 <@Adelene> FR is probably not actually a good target for that kind of thing, since it's multiplayer and game balance matters, but, like. 21:35 <@Sonata> Yeah. 21:36 <@Adelene> I did actually make a custom RL-item drop add-on? It didn't end up being all that closely related to my tasks, since it had to be optimized to stay within the budget, but it did more or less work anyway, motivationally. 21:40 <@Adelene> It probably wouldn't be *that* hard to make, like, a dress-up game or exploration game or something with stuff that unlocks every however-many experience points. Heck, put together an exploration game where each unlocked area is procedurally generated when it's unlocked and that even scales nicely and is useable by the coder. 21:51 < Faceless> (got distracted with Terraria, let me backlog) 21:52 < Faceless> this makes me think of some facebook games, specially Marvel Avengers alliance 21:53 < Faceless> if you were to connect the two system, doing habitica stuff could earn some of the game many resources 21:56 <@Adelene> *nodnod* I don't do facebook, but that's the sort of thing I'm thinking of, yeah. 22:27 < Faceless> should that world building thingie on alicorn's forum? It was /me/ tailored but it could be useful...? 22:27 <@Adelene> Could be handy to other people, yeah. 22:27 < Andygal> couldn't hurt. 22:29 < Faceless> hum, gonna edit some and post tomorrow then o/ --- Day changed Tue Oct 13 2015 01:04 -!- MTC has joined #backstage 01:24 -!- Verdancy|Noms is now known as Verdancy 01:24 < Verdancy> I fell asleep 01:24 < Teceler> ah 01:24 < Teceler> [hug] 01:24 < Verdancy> *hugs* 01:24 < Andygal> Hi. 01:24 < Teceler> I was just thinking about going to do that 01:24 < Verdancy> ahaha 01:24 < Verdancy> yeah 01:24 < Verdancy> probs a good idea 01:24 < Verdancy> (Also hi Andygal) 02:13 <@Sonata> if kappa comes on please tell her to log into aim briefly because i have a present for him 02:13 < Verdancy> awww 02:13 <@Sonata> well, present might be too strong a word 02:13 < Verdancy> I will tell them if I am here at the same time 02:14 < Verdancy> still aww 02:14 <@Sonata> a thing she might find slightly interesting 02:14 * Verdancy nods 02:14 <@Sonata> goodnight 02:14 < Teceler> good night 02:14 < Teceler> I should. do that sleep thing. right 02:14 < Verdancy> Good night! 02:14 -!- Sonata has quit 02:14 < Verdancy> yes 02:14 < Verdancy> sleeping 02:14 < Andygal> sleep.

Ow, my knee. :P 13:19 < Andygal> :( 13:20 <@Adelene> *nod* 13:20 <@Adelene> fortunately I don't need to leave the house much any time soon. 13:21 < Andygal> did you put some ice on it? 13:21 -!- Teceler|Asleep is now known as Teceler 13:21 < Teceler> Adelene: [hug] 13:22 <@Adelene> no, that would cause more problems than it would solve I think. 13:22 <@Adelene> hi Tec *hug* 13:22 <@Adelene> I should in fact go look up what the recomended thing is for hypermobility-related injuries, though. 13:23 < Andygal> might be a good plan if this kind of thing happens to you a lot. 13:26 <@Adelene> *nod* I do actually have pretty decent instincts for this kind of thing? I don't always pay enough attention to them - I did actually know ahead of time that walking to the library was a bad idea, just, like enh - but most of the time if I do what the relevant brainbits are telling me, that works. And the relevant brainbits go ... and >.> when I float the ice idea, so. 13:27 < Andygal> well that's helpful. 13:27 < Teceler> that must be nice 13:27 <@Adelene> *nod* 13:28 <@Adelene> I mean, the brainbits in question are pretty iffy on the whole 'but we do have to keep functioning' thing, if they're going 'the thing you need to do is stay in bed until we say otherwise' I'm generally not going to be able to get a second opinion out of them. But useful, yes. 13:37 * Adelene fusses about etherpad, wants it to come back so they can find out how Tyche and Metis react to the hatching metaphor. 13:38 < Teceler> they have not informed me? but I think it's kind of adorable? 13:38 <@Adelene> ^^ 13:38 <@Adelene> I also think it's kind of adorable. ^^ 13:38 < Andygal> <3 13:40 < Teceler> pfffffft 13:40 < Teceler> Tyche: [hatching [metaphor?]] 13:40 <@Adelene> (Lurker informs me that baby kobolds imprint - and insists that human babies do too, okay, now I wonder if there's science about that - and that insofar as this metaphor is accurate Lena is being /especially/ ridiculous given Metis has clearly already done that thing. ^^ ) 13:41 < Andygal> I have the most adorable mental images of tiny kobolds following somebody around like ducklings now. 13:41 <@Adelene> *giggle* 13:43 < Andygal> though don't know how tiny kobolds are at birth, or how mobile they are. 13:44 < Teceler> Andygal: kobolds hatch 13:45 < Andygal> right ok. um. 13:45 < Andygal> [words] 13:45 < Teceler> (not a huge deal, I think, just, information) 13:46 <@Adelene> (Lurker: [hatching [metaphor]] [Metis [new] [becoming-by-working] [further stages to follow]] [literal hatching [physical environment important [temperature [for basic survival/growth]] [humidity [for ability-to-hatch] [for avoiding injury in the hatching process]]]] [relevant thing right now: metaphorical equivalent of humidity]) 13:47 <@Adelene> Hatchling kobolds are equivalent to human newborns, and proportionally small - I'd have to look up the exact numbers but that does imply that they're way tiny. ^^ 13:49 <@Adelene> *pokes numbers* A newly-hatched kobold will generally weigh about two and a quarter to two and a half pounds - about the size of a large guinea pig. 13:50 -!- Faceless has quit 13:55 < Andygal> I bet they have teeth that can take your fingers off, though, since kobolds eat bone. 13:55 <@Adelene> *considers* 13:56 <@Adelene> I feel like they have a different sort of dental thing going on developmentally than humans do, but I'm not clear on whether they're born with that kind of hardware. 13:56 <@Adelene> etherpad is back :D 13:56 < Andygal> :D 13:57 < Andygal> I suppose adults might crush bones into small pieces or even into some kind of puree for the smallest babies. 13:58 <@Adelene> I get the impression that that's more something that gets introduced later? 13:59 <@Adelene> Like 14:00 <@Adelene> Kobolds do lactate (they're monotremes) and I get the impression that kobold babies don't start weaning for at least six months. 14:00 <@Adelene> And they're not off milk entirely for a good while after that. 14:02 < Andygal> I understood that babies are frequently adopted out, which, unless it's easier to stimulate lactation then in humans means a lot of babies without access to a mother's milk? 14:02 <@Adelene> It's easier, yeah. 14:02 < Teceler> given that they hatch that makes sense 14:02 <@Adelene> I'm not /certain/ lactating is even gender-linked, Lurker has been somewhat cagey about that. 14:02 < Teceler> I was about to ask about that XD 14:03 < Andygal> it is technically possible to stimulate lactation in human males. It has been done. 14:04 <@Adelene> She is pretty firm that a single male adopting an egg works fine, but I'm not at all clear on whether that means males lactate or if there's some sort of tribal wet nursing thing. Or both, it actually seems like it might be both? Or I'm getting caught on trans-related stuff. *shrugs* 14:05 <@Adelene> Like, now that I'm poking at this, she is insisting both that wet nursing is a thing and that she's known guys who've had that role. So, *large shrugging* 14:14 <@Adelene> (1:07:39 PM) Adelene: So, I am prodding at Lurker regarding kobold biology and she is flatly refusing to tell me whether male kobolds can lactate or if the wet nurse dude she informs me she knew was in fact trans. Does Jokerbold have any feelings on this topic? 14:14 <@Adelene> (1:07:53 PM) Kappa: hahahahahaha hmm 14:14 <@Adelene> (1:09:35 PM) Adelene: I personally lean toward male kobolds being able to lactate, but. 14:14 <@Adelene> (1:10:45 PM) Adelene: (And then possibly the dude in question was trans on top of that, but it becomes once again none of my business in that case.) 14:14 <@Adelene> (1:12:07 PM) Kappa: jokerbold doesn't have strong feelings on the subject, but if I ask him what he thinks is true rather than what he wants to be true he says that it varies and some male kobolds can lactate and some cannot. then he won't tell me which kind he is, since he has never been in a position to find out. 14:14 <@Adelene> (1:12:51 PM) Adelene: That's actually pretty well in keeping with what Lurker is saying. Also some female kobolds can't but that's rarer, seems to be a thing. 14:14 <@Adelene> (1:12:59 PM) Kappa: k 14:14 <@Adelene> (1:13:21 PM) Adelene: (She can. I don't know why she knows that but she does.) 14:16 < Andygal> pfffft 14:20 -!- Teceler is now known as Teceler|Away 14:22 <@Adelene> hm 14:24 -!- tecephone has joined #backstage 14:25 <@Adelene> re: bones, I'm getting the impression that there are three distinct stages of tooth development - not that they have two sets of baby teeth, quite, but like some of their teeth come in and then the rest come in later and then a few years after that they lose their baby teeth and get their adult ones? Possibly they lose some of the first-stage teeth when the second-stage ones come in but I'm not clear on what the deal is there, 14:25 <@Adelene> it seems like they might just not ever have a full set of teeth 'till they get their adult ones. But I do know they're still in the first stage at one year old, because Lurker informs me that a smallbold refusing milk at that point would be in trouble, since they wouldn't be able to eat bones yet since they wouldn't have their second-stage teeth yet, and they have to do one or the other of those. 14:28 < tecephone> Does that tend to come up? 14:28 <@Adelene> Not often but I suspect not never, since she brought it up as an example and seems distressed about it? 14:29 < Andygal> (hugs for Lurker?) 14:29 <@Adelene> Lurker: *is hugged* 14:29 <@Adelene> I get the feeling that the kid in question turned out okay, but that it was alarming for a while there. 14:29 < tecephone> Hug for lurker 14:30 < Andygal> Kids are sometimes alarming. 14:30 <@Adelene> *nod* 14:35 -!- Sonata has joined #backstage 14:35 -!- mode/#backstage [+o Sonata] by ChanServ 14:36 <@Adelene> o/ 14:36 <@Sonata> hi 14:36 <@Adelene> We have been discussing kobold biology! Kobolds are weird. ^^ 14:37 <@Sonata> ooooh 14:37 <@Sonata> weird is good 14:37 <@Adelene> ^^ 14:37 <@Sonata> so what do they weird, aside from monotreme? 14:38 <@Sonata> if there is a summary that is significantly shorter than logs 14:38 <@Adelene> Things that have been established: Lactation is only partially sex-linked; some males can lactate, and some females can't, but it's like 50/50 in the first case and like 80/20 in the second. Also, smallbolds have three stages of dental development, their baby teeth come in in two waves and a few of the first-wave ones fall out when the second-wave ones come in. 14:39 <@Sonata> nifty 14:39 <@Adelene> *nod* 14:39 < Andygal> :) 14:40 <@Adelene> And they can't eat bones and therefore can't fully wean until the second dental stage. Also, wet nursing is a thing, and male wet nurses are not remarkable. 14:40 < Andygal> also kids are sometimes alarming. 14:40 <@Adelene> Not that that's news. ^^ 14:40 <@Sonata> oh, cultural question: does / how does Not Particularly Gender interact with sexual orientation? are kobolds mostly pan? 14:42 <@Adelene> Kobolds don't really conceptualize it as an orientation thing; they are mostly functionally het-ish but that's sex-related, not gender-related. 14:43 <@Adelene> But not conceptualizing it as an orientation means that a 'bold who does casual sex and is basically functionally het will quite probably still have some same-sex encounters and not consider that noteworthy or particularly meaningful. 14:44 <@Adelene> (Lurker comments 'humans are /weird/', in relation to this.) 14:45 <@Adelene> Like 14:47 <@Adelene> Kobolds don't do gender roles like at /all/? So insofar as gender even is a thing, it's in the realm of being a personality trait (or rather a set of them) rather than its own thing or something culturally meaningful. So it wouldn't be /particularly/ unusual for a kobold to have gender-related attraction things going on, but that'd work more like any other kind of personality-based attraction, and come up much more in a romantic context. 14:48 < Andygal> Huh. Interesting. 14:53 <@Adelene> Like. The way humans do gender looks about as sane to Lurker as saying that absolutely everyone has to be either a nerd or a jock, no exceptions, and it's somehow super meaningful whether you fall in love with nerds or jocks or both. Sounds dumb, right? But that doesn't mean nerds and jocks don't /exist/, or that there aren't people for whom a potential partner's membership in one of those categories is important to them. 15:17 -!- tecephone has quit 15:17 -!- tecephone has joined #backstage 15:27 -!- tecephone has quit 15:27 -!- tecephone2 has joined #backstage 15:31 -!- tecephone2 has quit 15:32 -!- tecephone2 has joined #backstage 15:37 -!- Faceless has joined #backstage 15:39 -!- tecephone2 has quit 15:39 -!- tecephone2 has joined #backstage 15:43 -!- tecephone2 has quit 15:46 -!- tecephone2 has joined #backstage 15:52 -!- tecephone2 has quit 15:52 -!- tecephone2 has joined #backstage 15:55 < Faceless> hello? 15:56 < Andygal> Blargh 15:56 <@Sonata> hi 15:57 < Faceless> Blargh? 15:58 < Andygal> Yes. 16:04 -!- tecephone2 has quit 16:04 -!- tecephone2 has joined #backstage 16:04 < Faceless> well, blargh to you too andygal 16:04 < Faceless> how are things? 16:04 < Andygal> Fineish. 16:07 -!- MTC has quit 16:09 -!- tecephone2 has quit 16:09 -!- tecephone2 has joined #backstage 16:10 * tecephone2 mutters at connection 16:11 -!- tecephone2 is now known as tecephone 16:23 -!- tecephone has quit 16:24 -!- tecephone has joined #backstage 16:34 -!- Teceler|Away is now known as Teceler 16:34 < Teceler> ... 16:34 < Andygal> ...? 16:34 -!- tecephone has quit 16:34 < Teceler> the amount my phone was bouncing 16:34 < Teceler> sorry all 16:35 <@Adelene> *hug* 16:35 < Andygal> eh. not your fault. 16:35 <@Adelene> *nod* 19:02 -!- Teceler has quit 19:16 -!- sky has joined #backstage 19:22 -!- Teceler has joined #backstage 19:37 -!- Faceless has quit 20:44 -!- FacelessMore has joined #backstage 20:44 < FacelessMore> o 20:44 < FacelessMore> o/ 21:12 -!- Sonata has quit 21:24 -!- Sonata has joined #backstage 21:24 -!- mode/#backstage [+o Sonata] by ChanServ 22:30 < Verdancy> I exist now btw 22:44 < Andygal> Yay! 22:45 < Verdancy> :) 22:45 < Teceler> :) 22:45 -!- Teceler is now known as Teceler|Away 23:26 -!- Teceler|Away is now known as Teceler 23:27 * Teceler is nice and clean :) 23:29 < FacelessMore> yay for being clean 23:29 < FacelessMore> o/ 23:29 < Andygal> yay! --- Day changed Wed Oct 14 2015 00:16 -!- FacelessMore has quit 01:05 -!- MTC has joined #backstage 02:21 -!- Verdancy is now known as VerdanZzz 02:22 < Teceler> good night Verdancy 02:22 < VerdanZzz> Good night! 02:22 < VerdanZzz> (again :P ) 02:23 < Andygal> <3 sleep well! 02:23 < Teceler> XD 02:23 < VerdanZzz> <3 you too! 02:23 < VerdanZzz> And good night, everyone else <3 02:23 < Teceler> goodnight, Verdancy. good nigiht 02:23 < VerdanZzz> pfffffffft 02:23 < Teceler> *night 02:23 < VerdanZzz> hee 02:23 < Teceler> :) 02:23 < VerdanZzz> :) 02:23 * VerdanZzz beds 02:24 * VerdanZzz likes the vague implication that she is an entire town.

08:12 -!- Andygal has quit 09:44 -!- FacelessDude has joined #backstage 09:44 < FacelessDude> hi 10:01 <@Adelene> o/ 11:30 -!- Verdancy has joined #backstage 11:30 < Verdancy> Good morning, everyone. 11:33 <@Adelene> o/ 11:35 * Adelene just discovered a probably-useful thing. 11:35 <@Adelene> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8wI5zg0kQM 11:35 < FacelessDude> what thing? 11:35 <@Adelene> isochronic pomodoro timer youtube videos. 11:35 < Verdancy> (hi!) 11:36 < FacelessDude> ah 11:36 < FacelessDude> why no headphones? :/ 11:36 <@Adelene> basically it tells you 'begin work' and then plays background noise suitable for working for 25 minutes, and then tells you 'begin break' and continues playing for 5 more minutes, so you can loop it. 11:36 <@Adelene> Like, presumably you can do headphones? you just don't have to 11:38 <@Adelene> But I was poking at how to make a pomodoro timer for my sidebar earlier, and, like, I could but it'd be annoying and having a visual timer kinda defeats the purpose anyway? But I could totally download some of these and make a button that loads a random one/the playlist/whatever. 11:40 < Verdancy> yay for problem-solving! 11:40 <@Adelene> mmhmm! 11:44 <@Adelene> (also, instance of class 'google being creepy'. that was a recomended video while I was looking for a steven universe fanvid; I googled pomodoro timers a couple hours ago.) 12:00 < FacelessDude> so, I want a nice, technical way to say "surnames tend to be real words" like "Summer" or "Moonlight"? 12:14 < Verdancy> (was afk: ugh google) 12:14 < Verdancy> Nothing is coming to mind re:surnames but I will tell you if I think of something 12:15 < FacelessDude> thanks 13:29 -!- Teceler|Asleep is now known as Teceler 13:30 < Teceler> (brain, wtf) 13:30 < Teceler> hi all 13:47 < FacelessDude> hi 14:07 <@sonatasleep> hi 14:27 * FacelessDude pokes chat 14:28 * Teceler exists 14:38 * sonatasleep too 14:38 -!- sonatasleep is now known as Sonata 14:39 * Adelene might also. 15:12 * Sonata installs updog 15:33 <@Adelene> good luck! I hear the dependencies are a pain in the ass. ^.- 15:34 <@Sonata> yeah, especially the diq4 libraries 15:35 <@Sonata> thanks 16:07 -!- FacelessDude has quit 16:24 <@Adelene> oh hey Sonata: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zmphsalp7tthnle/InsideVoice.png?dl=0 16:25 -!- Faceless has joined #backstage 16:25 < Faceless> hi 16:25 <@Adelene> o/ 16:26 * Adelene continues to work on image collection, is particularly pleased with https://www.dropbox.com/s/zmphsalp7tthnle/InsideVoice.png?dl=0 16:27 < Faceless> that link is slow 16:28 < Faceless> what is the purpose for image collecting? 16:28 -!- Teceler is now known as Teceler|Away 16:28 <@Adelene> I have a widget that sets random images from a folder as part of my desktop background. 16:29 <@Adelene> The entire collection is here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zultcq942p63c35/AAAy7rL_wonImubRvU9fgyKha?dl=0 16:34 <@Sonata> that is an excellent quote 16:34 <@Sonata> rawr! 16:34 <@Adelene> :D 16:34 <@Sonata> ("Not a /tame/ lion.") 16:34 <@Adelene> :D:D:D 16:35 <@Adelene> It's from a poem, which is... not 'mostly unrelated' but kind of that? Like, the quote doesn't give you much sense of the poem. 16:36 <@Adelene> http://ohandreagibson.tumblr.com/aninsidersguideonhowtobesick 16:37 -!- MTC has quit 16:39 <@Sonata> that is a good poem 16:39 <@Sonata> very strong 16:39 <@Sonata> fierce 16:39 <@Adelene> yup ^^ 16:39 <@Sonata> my Miles approves 16:40 <@Adelene> *grin* yes. 16:40 <@Adelene> It's not condensable enough for this project but that one line is googleable, so that's a bonus. ^^ 17:03 <@Adelene> *is bored* *considers Lurker sandbox premises* 17:03 <@Sonata> Smallbold and Rae? 17:03 <@Adelene> That would certainly be interesting. 17:04 * Sonata imagines Rae as Scrappy-Doo re: tigerpeople ("Lemme at'em!") 17:04 <@Adelene> I was thinking more along the lines of an X-summons-demon-Cam type thing, where some more stable instance of her comes across some method of meeting random people, though. 17:04 <@Adelene> *snicker* 17:05 <@Sonata> Miscast artifact flings her into another world? Or is that too traumatic? 17:05 <@Adelene> That will largely end poorly, yeah. 17:05 < Faceless> I am sort of picturing this pseudo-teleporter and smallbold pushing a bottom and bringing and vanishing people 17:06 <@Adelene> Like, I considered 'Lurker in the summoning circle' a while ago and meta!Lurker informs me that a pre-MWF instance of herself has about a 90% chance of becoming suicidal within three months under those circumstances. 17:06 <@Sonata> yikes 17:07 <@Adelene> Yeah. Kobolds /do not do well/ when separated from their tribes. 17:07 <@Sonata> circumstances including 'they can and will summon stressplant for her'? 17:07 <@Adelene> That would help but I doubt they'd get that much communication established. 17:07 <@Sonata> aha. 17:08 <@Sonata> well, Milliways is the standard 'meeting random people' gimmick 17:08 <@Adelene> *nod* 17:08 <@Adelene> Mirrorsnake dropping her someplace where she could get away with not interacting with anyone while she figured out what the hell and got her bearings would not be an utter disaster. 17:09 <@Sonata> what happpens if mirrorsnake eats her entire tribe and they get collectively transplanted someplace? 17:09 < Faceless> The Woods between Worlds? 17:09 <@Adelene> pffff 17:10 <@Adelene> mirrorsnake eats the entire tribe would be very interesting. 17:10 < Faceless> I was thinking if of using an altered version of the Museum of the Hypothetical as a milliways alternative 17:10 <@Adelene> for super traumatic to everyone else in the tribe values of interesting, but. 17:11 < Faceless> who do you mean with "everyone else"? 17:11 <@Sonata> is lurker somehow extra can-handle-it-ish? 17:11 <@Sonata> I got the impression she was mostly typical for a speaker 17:11 <@Adelene> Lurker is /bizare/ for a kobold in her willingness to deal with nonkobolds. Most kobolds will panic if they're even /seen/. 17:11 < Verdancy> (I exist now) 17:11 <@Sonata> hi 17:11 <@Adelene> o/ 17:11 < Verdancy> Hi! 17:12 < Verdancy> \o 17:12 <@Sonata> what about entire tribe gets portalsnaked to terraria 17:13 <@Sonata> with or without the puppeteering intelligence 17:13 <@Adelene> Less awful but also less interesting. 17:14 <@Sonata> I wonder how close you could get to a standard Earth with kobolds instead of humans 17:15 < Faceless> that idea sounds bizarre, impractical and I support it 100% 17:15 <@Adelene> They would flee from the guide - Lurker would probably figure out that he's not really a person eventually but wouldn't be able to convince anyone else that he's safe to approach - and go find a cave someplace to settle in and kind of pick up where they left off, mostly. In the long run there'd be problems, but on a standard storyish timescale they'd be fine. 17:15 <@Sonata> aha. 17:16 < Faceless> kobold tribe goes to... narnia? 17:16 <@Adelene> Depends on where they landed, mostly? 17:17 <@Adelene> Like, non-Lurker kobolds are really not going to get involved in local stuff unless they're forced to, and in that case they're mostly going to be too busy freaking out to do much interesting. 17:18 <@Adelene> The actual interesting scenario is if they wind up somewhere where the bulk of the tribe can sequester themselves but Lurker has to deal with the locals to keep that situation stable. 17:19 < Faceless> what are the conditions for "tribe sequestering" while "Lurker deals"? 17:21 <@Sonata> Lurker and Aya? 17:21 <@Adelene> Liiiike... okay, there's one, I could see them in Ankh-Morpork? There's abandoned space under the city, if I'm remembering the canon right, and if they figured that out and were able to find a reasonably safe/comfortable section of it that'd work for privacy/secrecy. But they'd still need food and stuff, and it'd be a good idea to keep an eye on what the other local people were doing, and Lurker's the only one who can handle that. 17:22 * Adelene is drawing a blank on Aya. 17:22 < Faceless> Ayabel? 17:22 < Faceless> from Tayane 17:22 < Faceless> the slave bell from the random magic world 17:23 <@Adelene> Ah. Not sure, there, I get the impression that there's a fair amount of empty space in that world and for preference they're going to stick to that. 17:24 < Faceless> maybe the get cornered because of difficult geography? 17:25 < Faceless> like 17:25 < Faceless> there is a small canon or something 17:25 < Faceless> with a magic on the only exit 17:26 < Faceless> and Ayabel falls through it and gets stuck with the tribe? would they harm her? 17:26 <@Adelene> ...they might, actually. They'd certainly be panicky enough. 17:27 <@Adelene> If Aya fell through and Lurker was close enough that might turn out okay, but it might not, for various values of 'not'. 17:27 <@Sonata> I was imagining Lurker went to Tayane somehow 17:28 <@Sonata> in a manner sufficiently under her control as to not immensely traumatize her 17:29 -!- tecephone has joined #backstage 17:29 <@Adelene> Being stuck somewhere will freak her out independently from whether she got there traumatically. 17:30 <@Adelene> (unless being stuck there is also her choice, but, like, that's not a thing she's going to choose to do without a pretty extreme reason.) 17:31 <@Sonata> magic artifact: Ring of Exploration. if you activate it in your homeworld, it takes you to a random world. if you activate it anywhere else, it takes you home. 17:31 <@Sonata> ...probably overpowered 17:31 <@Adelene> Doesn't mean it can't exist. ^^ 17:32 <@Sonata> but does it solve the problem at hand, is the thing. 17:32 < Faceless> Ring of Exploration, sounds like an alternate version of the rings from narnia 17:32 <@Adelene> I'm not sure Lurker would actually use that, though. 'Go to a random place in a random world' is, uh. 17:32 < Faceless> which isn't a bad thing 17:32 <@Sonata> how about, instead of traveling there, you /dream/ there, like jokers dreaming to milliways. 17:32 < Faceless> oooooh 17:33 <@Adelene> maybe? 17:33 < Faceless> can I steal those ideas? xD 17:33 <@Sonata> So you can't suffer permanent physical damage, sufficient stress tends to wake you up 17:33 <@Sonata> sure 17:33 <@Sonata> but your dreambody is actually physically in the other world so you can have lasting effects on it, just not it on you 17:33 <@Adelene> I don't think that hits Lurker's curiosity buttons in quite the necessary way, though. 17:34 < tecephone> Context? 17:35 <@Adelene> I'm bored and looking for a robust way to sandbox Lurker with random other characters. 17:36 <@Adelene> hmmmm 17:37 <@Adelene> the ring of exploration maybe works all right if I add some context? 17:38 < Faceless> what kind of context do you need? 17:39 < Faceless> should the ring of exploration "come" with the dreaming character" so it is possible to steal? 17:39 <@Sonata> I'm thinking no 17:39 <@Adelene> Like, something happens and she gets excommunicated - maybe she finally gets sufficiently unlucky and a tigerperson manages to follow her home, or maybe just a tigerperson randomly finds the tribe and she gets blamed - and somehow OTC-or-whoever finds her and offers her the ring? 17:39 <@Adelene> Actual-going-there version of it, and with safeties. 17:40 < Faceless> it fits DF/Carp if the tigerperson drops such ring after being killed? 17:40 <@Adelene> Nope. 17:41 <@Adelene> Or, like - random drops aren't a thing. Also the tribe would not actually try to fight the tigerperson. 17:41 < Faceless> rock falls tigerperson dies? 17:42 <@Adelene> enh 17:42 <@Adelene> The ring does need to come with some sort of explanation if she's going to be willing to use it, also. 17:43 <@Sonata> what if there's a place/thing like the magic cave that gave her invisibility 17:44 <@Sonata> where she's off on her own for whatever reason, comes across a magic place, gets power-and-understanding 17:44 <@Adelene> That'd work. 17:44 <@Sonata> possibly more thematic if it's a spell on her rather than an artifact 17:45 <@Sonata> though not sure if that thing is sufficiently reassuring as to safety, without Esthfora's recommendation 17:45 <@Adelene> *nodnod* 17:45 <@Adelene> The magic crystals tend to do the thing their magic is of, though, so, like, this one could totally teleport to her. 17:45 < Faceless> any chance of her saving a golden fish that granted her three powers? 17:46 < Faceless> I kid 17:46 <@Adelene> :P 17:46 < Faceless> now I am trying remember which fairytale that comes from 18:06 -!- tecephone has quit 18:06 -!- tecephone has joined #backstage 18:11 -!- Teceler|Away is now known as Teceler 18:12 -!- tecephone has quit 18:37 < Faceless> So, Adelene, how are the travelbold machinations? 18:37 <@Adelene> I'm poking at a glowfic entry as we speak ^^ 18:39 < Faceless> ooooh 18:39 < Faceless> what exactly did you settle for again? 18:40 <@Adelene> Lurker gets portal-making magic. 18:40 <@Sonata> eeee 18:40 <@Adelene> ^^ 18:40 < Faceless> :D 18:50 < Faceless> just to be sure, stories that are just about petting the kobold aren't all that interesting, right? >.> 18:50 <@Adelene> *giggle* 18:50 < Verdancy> hee 18:50 < Teceler> pfft 18:50 <@Adelene> They could be. ^^ 18:50 < Verdancy> (awww) 18:52 < Faceless> yay for pettingbold \o/ 18:53 <@Adelene> hee ^^ 18:58 <@Adelene> http://glowfic.dreamwidth.org/17263.html 19:04 < Faceless> \o/ 19:04 < Faceless> no tags? 19:05 <@Adelene> I always forget. :P They've been added. 19:20 <@Adelene> (other people are welome to start tag threads there, though I'm not sure I have quite the brain to tag on two threads at once.) 19:20 < Faceless> I feel stupid for not noticing those things are book 19:21 <@Adelene> aw. 19:22 < Faceless> Adelene, I actually feel inclined to play too, but I don't really have any ideas right now, except the Museum of Hypothetical with a display of an alternate earth where Kobolds live 19:24 <@Adelene> That might be fun. ^^ 19:42 < Faceless> likely, I am going to think about it 19:46 -!- Verdancy is now known as Verdancy|Noms 19:47 * Verdancy|Noms Dear Evolution: I know you did your best, but why didn't /we/ get photosynthesis?? Sincerely, Me 19:47 < Teceler> XD 19:49 < Teceler> ...brain. brain, no. I do not need a planet inhabited by photosynthetic people 19:49 -!- Verdancy has joined #backstage 19:49 < Verdancy> Have I mentioned that this laptop does not have a battery 19:50 < Verdancy> Because this laptop does not have a battery 19:50 < Teceler> [hug?] 19:50 < Verdancy> *hugs* 19:50 < Verdancy> oh huh otherme is still here 19:50 < Verdancy> oh well 19:50 -!- Verdancy is now known as Verdancy|Away 19:50 < Teceler> irc hasn't realized they're gone yet, probably 19:50 * Verdancy|Away nods 19:50 * Verdancy|Away awaaaays 19:52 -!- Verdancy|Noms has quit 19:54 * Faceless offers late hugs 20:00 < Faceless> what is a "spellbearer" it is a DF thing? 20:00 < Teceler> is Carp thing 20:00 < Teceler> Carp magic thing 20:05 <@Adelene> *nod* 20:06 <@Adelene> Mages are people who can put spells on things, spellbearers are people who have spells on 'em. 20:07 < Faceless> Cool 20:07 < Faceless> So Lurker can put spell on people too? 20:08 <@Adelene> Yup! 20:08 < Faceless> cool 20:09 <@Adelene> That's not super sensible with the teleportation magic, I don't think - very hard to aim, with the kind of control spellbearers can have - but that's the standard thing for the invisibility magic, mostly. 20:09 < Teceler> I assume she taught the tribe's previous mage the spell before going on her Adventure, though? 20:09 <@Adelene> *nodnod* 20:11 <@Adelene> (And she might have given her tribemates spells to put them back in the cave they're currently using. They wouldn't be able to use that spell to go anyplace else but it's still a handy thing to have.) 20:11 * Teceler nods. 20:11 < Teceler> spells to go to specific places seems like a thing that magic could do for spellbearers pretty well 20:13 <@Adelene> *nod* Just, you have to set each one up separately and it takes a while, and kobolds being kobolds the communication issue means you have to cast it in the place you're spelling them to be able to go to, or you risk getting yout wires crossed in a hexey way. 20:13 < Teceler> ...yeah that makes sense 20:13 < Teceler> unless both kobolds involved are speakers, at least 20:14 < Faceless> what "hexey" means in this context? 20:14 < Teceler> 'hex' is a spell that is not under the bearers control and/or otherwise hostile, iirc 20:17 <@Adelene> *nod* 20:18 <@Adelene> So having 'intend to go to place A' be the trigger to actually take you to place B - it's not really a hex, you can learn to do that when you want to do the thing it does? But it's still pretty rude. 20:24 < Teceler> yeah 20:24 -!- Verdancy|Away has quit 20:25 * Teceler squints at Verdancy's computer 20:29 -!- Verdancy has joined #backstage 20:30 < Verdancy> Hi 20:30 < Teceler> wb! 20:30 < Verdancy> Thanks! 20:30 < Verdancy> :) 20:30 * Verdancy late hugs Faceless back 20:30 < Faceless> xD 20:30 < Verdancy> :) 20:30 < Faceless> (and late, but yeah, teleporting to random places is totally rude) 20:31 < Faceless> Lurker has a language that can they understand? 20:34 < Faceless> they can* 20:36 <@Adelene> teleporter!Lurker is a non-fluent Animalperson speaker; nobody else in her tribe speaks at all. 20:37 < Faceless> I am tempted to put Franklyn in a sandbox with her, equal parts "He can copy her language" and "he will be nice to her" /and/ "he will want to pet her" 20:40 <@Adelene> *giggle* ^^ 20:43 -!- Verdancy has quit 20:43 -!- Verdancy has joined #backstage 21:04 -!- sky has joined #backstage 21:04 < Teceler> hello sky 21:04 < sky> hi 21:06 < Verdancy> Hi Sky! 21:22 < Faceless> late hi sky 21:26 <@Adelene> (I have decided, fyi, that the term for mage-or-spellbearer is just 'spellbearer' and 'mage' is a subtype. Since mages nearly universally have at least one spell effect applied to them.) 21:33 < Faceless> so they are spellmages? 21:33 < Faceless> blarh 21:33 < Faceless> didn't like that term, erase it from your memory 21:34 -!- Andygal has joined #backstage 21:35 < Andygal> Hiiii 21:35 < Teceler> hello Andygal 21:36 < Teceler> (I almost typo'd 'hell Andygal' there XD) 21:36 < Andygal> pffffft 21:36 < Verdancy> Hi Andygal! 21:37 < Faceless> hi andygal! 22:42 -!- Faceless has quit 23:09 -!- Adelene is now known as Sleepdelene 23:29 < Verdancy> Good night, everyone. 23:29 <@Sonata> Goodnight. 23:29 < Andygal> goodnight! 23:29 < Verdancy> :) 23:29 -!- Verdancy is now known as VerdanZzz 23:29 < Teceler> goodnight 23:30 < VerdanZzz> :) 23:31 < Teceler> sleep well 23:31 < Teceler> (...wait I already said that XD) 23:31 < VerdanZzz> hee 23:31 * VerdanZzz beds --- Day changed Thu Oct 15 2015 00:12 -!- sky has quit 01:06 -!- MTC has joined #backstage 01:46 < Teceler> goodnight all 01:53 -!- Teceler is now known as Teceler|Asleep 01:58 -!- VerdanZzz has quit

Do they have ways to figure out what should happen? 11:54 < Teceler> sometimes it devalues the Ka, iirc 11:58 < Faceless> the way I was thinking, the person dies and is reborn at "a convenient age" and there wouldn't be a limit to how many times you can ressurect, except that it takes time for your body to be reconstructed and you can be truly killed during the process :p 11:58 < Teceler> hm 11:59 < Teceler> yeah, you probably get partial value on the Ka, based on prior examples 11:59 <@Adelene> hmmm 12:00 < Teceler> (it's possibly the OTC decides you're a god instead though) 12:01 <@Adelene> Given the actual definition of the currency, I'd actually expect functionally-immortal people to be able to mint it by spending the relevant amount of time dead-in-some-meaningful-sense, even if they aren't dead afterward. 12:01 < Teceler> hm 12:01 < Teceler> that is also possible? 12:03 < Faceless> I am not entirely sure if I understood the "dead-in-some-meaningful-sense"? 12:04 < Faceless> tec, I actually considered asking Aestrix to sandbox with that character because of the similarities between a "Dreamer" (current term for people with pocket dimensions) and Arabek deities 12:07 <@Adelene> Like, okay, consider a world where people die, but then they reincarnate with all their memories intact in their next body. There's a very meaningful sense in which the people there are immortal; a given person is always around; they might therefore not be able to mint Ka, because they can't actually /give up/ 'the good of being alive' if they're just going to reincarnate immediately. 12:07 <@Adelene> But, maybe they can, and what happens if they do is that for every Ka they mint, it takes five years between when they die and when they reincarnate. That is an actual loss, then; everyone else around them gets to keep doing things for that five years, and they don't. 12:09 < Andygal> you would have to ask Evenstar if that is a plausible way it could work. 12:10 <@Adelene> Yup 12:10 < Faceless> yeah, that sounds about right, the method of immortality doesn't make you ageless or invulnerable in anyway, if you aren't killed by other methods you end up aging until death of natural causes gets you 12:11 < Faceless> and then (whatever way you die), a fountain on a floating rock in the pocket dimension will create a "egg" thingie where your new body is going to be reconstructed 12:13 < Faceless> You have to drink the fountain's water to get connected to it, and is only one person per fountain, it also makes you a "skymage" (winged weather controller) which will be rather conspicious 12:16 < Faceless> I am not entirely sure what should happen if an already winged person drinks the fountain's water... 12:18 < Faceless> this is getting too complicated? 12:19 <@Adelene> I don't think so. 12:25 < Faceless> ok, anyway, should I PM evenstar? I don't think she has been around lately? 12:26 < Andygal> OTC has posted recently-ish? 12:31 < Faceless> I meant on the chat, I think someone mentioned OTC being forum active recently in the past week 12:33 < Faceless> OTC's last post was sep 30th 12:38 <@Adelene> The account has been logged into more recently than that though. 12:45 < Faceless> yeah, gonna wait a bit more, I might revise some details, I am tempted to do something horrible like "they need to drink the fountain's water often" or something just to be a dick to my characters :) 12:46 < Andygal> pffffft 13:21 -!- Sonata has joined #backstage 13:21 -!- mode/#backstage [+o Sonata] by ChanServ 16:10 -!- MTC has quit 16:22 -!- Verdancy has joined #backstage 16:35 -!- Verdancy is now known as Verdancy|Away 16:35 * Verdancy|Away awaaaaaays 16:36 < Teceler> good luck 16:36 < Andygal> seeya! 16:36 * Verdancy|Away thank you :) 16:36 < Andygal> :) 16:36 * Verdancy|Away <3 @ everyone 16:36 < Teceler> [hug] 16:37 < Andygal> eeeeee 16:47 <@Adelene> I am really liking this teleportbold sandbox idea. ^^ 16:47 < Andygal> :) 17:01 < Teceler> ping 17:01 < Andygal> pong. 17:01 < Teceler> hm 17:01 < Teceler> oh things are working again too 17:01 < Teceler> huh 17:10 -!- Verdancy|Away has quit 18:09 -!- Faceless has quit 18:33 -!- Faceless has joined #backstage 18:54 -!- Teceler has quit 19:06 < Faceless> Adelene? 19:06 <@Adelene> mm? 19:07 < Faceless> when you are free, are you open to teleporbold box? 19:08 < Faceless> introducing Lurker to a friendly six foot tall magical canadian 19:08 <@Adelene> I probably can't juggle more than two threads at once, but Kappabrain is out of commission for today, so, sure, go for it. ^^ 19:09 -!- Teceler has joined #backstage 19:09 < Faceless> I actually can't do it right now, gonna go to a wedding party in less than 30 minutes 19:09 <@Adelene> ok 19:09 < Faceless> but some day, I am not in a hurry 19:09 <@Adelene> ok :) 19:09 < Faceless> :D 19:09 * Teceler mutters at her internet 19:10 <@Adelene> maybe poke me about it sometime, my memory isn't great. 19:10 < Teceler> what did I miss? 19:10 < Faceless> sure thing 19:14 < Faceless> I dont think you missed much Tec 19:14 * Adelene pasted to. 19:14 < Faceless> ah 19:14 * Teceler was about to say that 19:16 * Faceless nods 19:18 -!- Teceler has quit 19:24 -!- Teceler has joined #backstage 19:33 < Faceless> So, mahybe I am going to kill hittler on a sandbox, how are your stories going? 19:55 -!- Faceless has quit 19:57 -!- Teceler has quit 20:05 -!- Teceler has joined #backstage 21:17 < Andygal> sonata XD 21:17 <@Sonata> what'd I do? 21:18 < Andygal> "emboldened" 21:31 <@Sonata> ^^ 22:15 < Andygal> <3 22:59 -!- Sonata has quit 23:33 -!- Adelene is now known as Sleepdelene --- Day changed Sat Oct 17 2015 01:04 -!- MTC has joined #backstage

04:41 -!- Andygal has quit 10:05 -!- Faceless has joined #backstage 10:05 < Faceless> hi 11:17 < Teceler> ...I appear to have not asleeped 11:17 < Teceler> oh well 11:17 < Teceler> good morning all 11:21 < Faceless> good morning not-asleeped Teceler 11:21 < Teceler> pft 11:42 < Faceless> anyone knows what is the 1970-78 equivalent of Katty Perry? 13:24 -!- Sleepdelene is now known as Adelene 14:57 < Faceless> hi? 15:26 -!- Faceless has quit 15:59 -!- MTC has quit 16:45 -!- Faceless has joined #backstage 17:37 < Faceless> hi 17:50 -!- Andygal has joined #backstage 17:51 < Andygal> Hiiii. 17:51 < Faceless> hi 19:54 * Faceless calls 19:54 < Faceless> anyone there? 19:54 < Andygal> Yes. 19:54 < Faceless> hi! 19:54 < Teceler> oh hey my notifications are working again 19:54 < Faceless> How are things going? 19:55 < Andygal> I went to an awesome political rally. E-day -2. 19:55 < Faceless> How did that went? 19:55 < Andygal> It was awesome. 19:56 < Andygal> huuuuge crowd. 19:58 < Faceless> like 3 (which is a crowd) tall people? 19:58 < Andygal> pfffffft 20:03 < Faceless> but anyway, what the rally did? 20:04 < Andygal> New Democratic Party, left-wing. 20:07 < Faceless> this is why climate change was trending? 20:07 < Andygal> maaaaybe. 20:38 * Adelene is bored, wonders if anyone wants to sandbox a teleportbold. 20:39 < Faceless> o/ 20:39 <@Adelene> ^^ 20:39 < Andygal> you are currently tagged in quinnthread. 20:40 < Faceless> Do you mind an magic exchange sandbox? I am unsure if I want to use the Museum of Hipothetical or if it would be a distraction :p 20:41 <@Adelene> Andygal: Alicorn is AFK and needs to untag that, we had a miscommunication. Faceless: I'm assuming the friendly six foot tall magical canadian, yes. 20:41 < Andygal> Ah ok. 20:42 < Faceless> oh, yeah the friendly six foot tall magical canadian who can copies skills, shoot happy beams and turn into a bear :D 20:42 < Faceless> because I feeling like being random lately 20:42 < Andygal> yay magical Canadians! 20:43 <@Adelene> *giggle* 20:44 < Faceless> what else do you need to know about the place? 20:45 < Andygal> Annoying Saxophone Guy is at it again. 20:45 <@Adelene> Pretty much just what Lurker would see through a roughly four-foot-high-by-three-foot-wide portal, to start. 20:46 < Andygal> (at least I am pretty sure that is a saxophone) 20:46 < Faceless> Andygal what else could it be 20:46 < Andygal> I dunno, a trumpet? 20:47 < Faceless> Possible the back of the Canadian's house? I mean like the backyard but there is no fence and it just goes on and on to the woods. 20:48 <@Adelene> We do need to consider how they're going to run into each other; given forest, she's going to head into the forest rather than check out the house, at least to start with. 20:49 < Faceless> Would she run away if she catches him de-bearing himself after his afternoon bearwalk? 20:50 <@Adelene> Maybe. She's not actually intending to interact with anyone on these trips. 20:50 <@Adelene> More likely she'd hide than run, though. 20:51 < Faceless> He might be able to detect her through his skill-copying? 20:51 <@Adelene> Possible. 20:52 < Faceless> Few people know about kobolds, elves and tigerpeople, it would catch his attention 20:53 <@Adelene> If he has telepathy, yeah, she's pretty obviously non-local. 20:54 < Faceless> it is sort of like... a variation of telepathy, he wouldn't be able to get anything /personal/ about her, but language and day-to-day knowledge is easy. 20:55 <@Adelene> 'k 20:55 < Faceless> actually he might have some difficult getting skills from her non-human brain, but that only would make her stand out more 20:56 <@Adelene> It'd be obvious in lots of ways that she's not local. 20:56 < Teceler> and Lurker's antimagic (i-am-an-illusion thing) doesn't interact? 20:56 * Faceless nods 20:56 < Teceler> *wouldn't 20:57 <@Adelene> Might interact with some parts but I'm inclined to say it doesn't generally block telepathy. (Carp magic can't do telepathy at all.) 20:57 < Faceless> and if Franklyn can read her at all, he would also know about it (it is a kobold thingie, right?) 20:58 <@Adelene> *Might* block telepathy if it's touch-dependent, otherwise generall doesn't. 20:58 <@Adelene> The antimagic is a spell effect, but functionally-all kobolds and no other kind of person have that effect, so it's more or less a species trait, yeah. 20:59 < Faceless> It is area-ranged, I can't decide for a range, but for this sandbx.... 30-feet should be okay? 21:00 <@Adelene> For which? 21:00 <@Adelene> The telepathy? Depends what exactly it does, how she'll react to it, but I don't see any obvious problems with that range. 21:01 < Faceless> the telepathic skill copying 21:02 < Faceless> the telepathy isn't noticeable (well, if she can detect magic she might, but is another system entirely) and it will search her mind for non-personal knowledge/information and make it avaible for Franklyn "to use" 21:02 <@Adelene> This instance of Lurker doesn't have magic detection. 21:03 < Faceless> Franklyn actually has it, but he might not pick her up right away since is a different kind? 21:03 <@Adelene> (Define 'personal', though, she's going to be pretty freaked out if he automatically knows, like, where her tribe is.) 21:04 < Faceless> he won't 21:04 <@Adelene> Ok. 21:04 <@Adelene> Him being able to notice her will alarm her but isn't a major problem assuming he handles that information tactfully. 21:05 < Faceless> my plan is for him to go still, think for a moment, and then say he is friendly. He won't be able to pin-point her exact location, only that she is on his range 21:07 <@Adelene> She may or may not be willing to approach him just on that basis, but it's at least not disastrous. Sounds all right to me. ^^ 21:08 < Faceless> yay for not disastrous! :D 21:09 < Faceless> Does this mean I should post? 21:10 < Faceless> (also demon Joker is so adorable) 21:11 <@Adelene> mmhmm, and mmhmm ^^ 21:12 <@Adelene> http://glowfic.dreamwidth.org/17263.html?view=top-only#comments 21:14 < Faceless> thanks 21:15 < Faceless> Lurker is familiar enough with the concept of houses as humans make them? 21:16 <@Adelene> Not as such. Tigerfolk yurts are close enough that she'll guess right, though. 21:16 <@Adelene> (*is being catted on*) 21:17 < Faceless> catted? 21:17 < Andygal> does cat want food or just attention? 21:18 <@Adelene> http://i.imgur.com/54lDGXT.jpg <- being catted on. just attention. 21:21 < Faceless> tag 21:21 < Faceless> http://glowfic.dreamwidth.org/17263.html?thread=1881455#cmt1881455 21:21 < Faceless> maybe he wants to receive attention while eating 21:22 <@Adelene> Nah, she just ate like an hour and a half ago. 21:24 <@Adelene> This is probably because I was paying attention to the other cat earlier. She gets jealous, this one. 21:25 < Faceless> well, you should know better than to have other interests besides this one cat. :p 21:25 <@Adelene> *snicker* 21:25 <@Adelene> I really should by now, yes. ^^ 21:26 < Andygal> cats are nature's way of keeping one humble. 21:26 <@Adelene> tag 21:27 <@Adelene> These two aren't that, really? We've got a pretty good mutual respect thing going on, mostly. (Being able to read cat body language fluently helps lots.) 21:28 <@Adelene> Like, this one is kind of a jerk a lot of the time, but it's very clearly not personal. 21:29 < Andygal> she hates everyone equally? 21:30 < Faceless> tag 21:30 <@Adelene> No, she just doesn't think about other people that much. Except when she does, in which case she tends to be a bundle of nerves, so that's not really better. 21:30 < Faceless> there is plenty of shubbery and hiding places around, fyi 21:31 <@Adelene> What season is it? 21:31 < Faceless> huh, lets go with late spring? 21:32 < Faceless> (I have leaved on sub-equatorial climate 99% o my life though) 21:32 < Andygal> Late spring could be either very nice, or still chilly depending on exactly when and exactly where you are in Canada. 21:33 <@Adelene> Yeah. I'm in Minneapolis and late spring is pretty decently summery here. 21:34 < Faceless> I think it was somewhere in the pacifict coast, close to the US, so likely nice...? 21:34 <@Adelene> Ok, cool. 21:34 < Andygal> Ah yes. That's my area, by mid-May-ish the weather is usually pretty decent around here. 21:36 < Faceless> Lurker's way of talking is lack of vocabulary or something else? 21:37 < Andygal> Lurker does not grammar well. 21:37 < Faceless> I want to know if I will have to emulate lurker's style of speech or not :p 21:38 <@Adelene> tag ^^ 21:38 <@Adelene> Lurker's way of talking is partly lack of vocabulary but mostly grammar problems. 21:42 < Faceless> tag 21:45 <@Adelene> tag 21:50 < Faceless> tag 21:52 < Faceless> I probably should have skipped for him to just go ahead and talk, but I will stick to this tag xP 21:55 <@Adelene> tag ^^ 21:59 < Faceless> tag 22:13 -!- Sonata has joined #backstage 22:13 -!- mode/#backstage [+o Sonata] by ChanServ 22:14 <@Adelene> tag 22:14 <@Adelene> hi Sonata! 22:14 <@Sonata> hi 22:14 < Andygal> hi 22:16 < Faceless> hi 22:20 < Faceless> tag 22:21 -!- Verdancy has joined #backstage 22:21 < Verdancy> Hi, everyone. 22:21 <@Sonata> hi 22:21 <@Adelene> o/ 22:21 < Teceler> Verdancy! 22:21 < Verdancy> Hi! 22:21 < Andygal> Hi! 22:22 < Teceler> (hello Sonata too, belatedly) 22:22 < Faceless> hi 22:24 < Faceless> I partially want to propose to Kappa to do a sandbox with the Endarkened, but if I am completely honest to myself, it would be just a excuse to have my characters cuddle with him. 22:24 < Verdancy> heeeeeeeeeeeeeee 22:24 < Teceler> pft 22:24 <@Adelene> heee ^^ 22:25 < Andygal> pffft 22:25 < Faceless> he is a demonic cinnabon roll *-* 22:25 < Verdancy> awwwwww 22:25 < Andygal> <3 22:25 <@Sonata> in that i want to put him in my mouth 22:25 < Verdancy> pffffffffffft /Sonata/ 22:25 <@Adelene> *snicker* 22:25 < Andygal> XD 22:26 <@Adelene> (9:25:04 PM) Adelene: (10/17/2015 9:24:36 PM) Faceless: I partially want to propose to Kappa to do a sandbox with the Endarkened, but if I am completely honest to myself, it would be just a excuse to have my characters cuddle with him. 22:26 <@Adelene> (9:25:53 PM) Kappa: aww ^^ 22:26 < Faceless> Sonata, I know the feeling xD 22:27 < Andygal> IIIII wanna put Jellybean in my mouth. xD 22:27 < Faceless> Well, those are made to be put in your mouth 22:28 < Faceless> also: candy-aura for the win 22:28 < Verdancy> pfffffffffft omg 22:49 <@Adelene> tag 22:55 <@Adelene> (Faceless) 22:56 < Faceless> sorry, I saw your tag a minute ago 22:58 < Faceless> tag 23:13 -!- Verdancy1 has joined #backstage 23:16 -!- Verdancy has quit 23:17 -!- Teceler is now known as Teceler|Away 23:24 -!- Verdancy has joined #backstage 23:26 -!- Verdancy1 has quit 23:30 <@Adelene> (I haven't forgotten about you, Faceless, I'm just distracted and having some trouble working out how she responds there.) 23:36 < Faceless> it's okay 23:36 < Faceless> I shoudl go to bed actually 23:36 < Faceless> o/ 23:36 < Verdancy> Good night! 23:36 < Verdancy> And sleep well 23:37 < Faceless> good night everyone 23:37 -!- Faceless is now known as FacelessZZZ 23:43 <@Adelene> Sleep well ^^ --- Day changed Sun Oct 18 2015 00:09 -!- Teceler|Away is now known as Teceler 00:43 -!- FacelessZZZ has quit 01:04 -!- MTC has joined #backstage 02:34 -!- Verdancy is now known as VerdanZzz 02:34 < VerdanZzz> gosh look at the time 02:34 < VerdanZzz> this is definitely a reasonable time for a person in my timezone to go to bed 02:34 * VerdanZzz nods 02:34 * Teceler deliberately does not look at it again 02:34 < VerdanZzz> absolutely 02:34 < VerdanZzz> pfft 02:34 -!- Teceler is now known as Teceler|Asleep 02:35 < VerdanZzz> Anyway, good night, everyone. 02:35 < VerdanZzz> Sleep well, reign unchallenged over the realms of your dreams, etcetera. 02:35 * Teceler|Asleep giggles. 02:35 < VerdanZzz> :) 02:36 * VerdanZzz beds

ACQUIRE more brains! In jars, if necessary. 12:23 < Andygal> XDXD 12:23 <@Workdelene> :D 12:26 < Faceless> do I want context? 12:28 <@Workdelene> http://shitifindon.tumblr.com/post/121313131674/michaelblume-undauntra-ruizhi-bookelfe <3 12:29 -!- Kel-Phone has joined #backstage 12:29 <@Workdelene> Kel! <3 12:29 < Kel-Phone> hey 12:29 < Kel-Phone> hi! 12:30 < Andygal> HI Kel! 12:30 < Kel-Phone> sorry I haven't been on in so long 12:30 < Andygal> also Adelene: that entire post XD 12:30 <@Workdelene> :D 12:31 < Andygal> Kel: Life happens. Sometimes it happens all over your Internet time. 12:31 <@Workdelene> .... *steals words, appends to quotefile* 12:31 < Kel-Phone> <3 12:34 < Kel-Phone> so none of my characters who have forum access have anything super relevant to contribute to any of the ongoing threads, but in the interests of keeping the forum alive, should one of them say something anyway? 12:35 <@Workdelene> /yes/ 12:35 < Andygal> could one of them start a new discussion? 12:35 < Kel-Phone> hmm 12:37 * Kel-Phone tries to remember what's going on in all their lives 12:39 < Faceless> gonna take a nap 12:39 < Faceless> I think I said this before, but it is worth reconsideration: create a sub-set of "minor" characters so we can keep the forum going? 12:39 < Kel-Phone> minor? 12:40 < Kel-Phone> also, nap well 12:40 -!- Faceless is now known as FacelessNap 12:41 < FacelessNap> Kel, minor in the sense that they can keep the forum active, but we could drop them when the bigger guns show up again. 12:41 < FacelessNap> o/ 12:42 < Kel-Phone> BE could potentially make some kind of breakthrough, Aspen doesn't have much going on until I find out how much of her spirits are bought by the OTC, Janice is publicly pretty quiet bc busy and secrecy 12:45 < Kel-Phone> I could check nv timeline and depending on where it's at, she might make a vague post about major news from there 12:47 < Kel-Phone> ... I was about to have Aspen reply to the misfortunes but then I remembered how non fun typing Aspen on a phone is 12:47 < Kel-Phone> I'll try and do it when I get home 12:49 < Kel-Phone> does anyone have any thoughts about which of the other posts I was considering would be best for sparking discussion? 12:50 <@Workdelene> Lurker isn't going to respond to anything, unfortunately. 12:50 < Kel-Phone> need to leave for class, I'll try to be on tonight 12:50 <@Workdelene> ok ^^ 12:50 < Kel-Phone> possible hugs for lurker? 12:51 < Kel-Phone> bye! 12:51 -!- Kel-Phone has quit 12:57 -!- Teceler|Asleep is now known as Teceler 12:57 < Teceler> (damnit I missed Kel :() 13:16 < Teceler> so my brain has, predictably, done the 'hey I'm going to produce another setting' thing again. this one is notable for: /really really badly/ needing external help, and producing the line (when I was imaging a particular character interacting with the forum) '... MotherStarlight /why can't the voices in my head post/' ('with her account' she means but it has not occurred to them that 'create another account' or 'post as a 13:16 < Teceler> guest' are viable modalities here because a, authentication, and b, /that would be a lot of accounts/) 13:17 <@Sonata> hee 13:17 < Andygal> pfffft 13:19 < Teceler> :) 13:21 < Andygal> that will lead to people suggesting the character get psychological help probably xD 13:21 <@Sonata> MS does allow people to share accounts, you just have to give them permission on purpose 13:21 <@Sonata> and it's gently discouraged in most cases 13:24 < Teceler> Sonata: given the setting I would not be surprised if their security settings are set to disallow 'consent' as a modality as much as possible. they should probably know better, but 13:24 < Teceler> Andygal: ...that would be rather unhelpful. 14:37 -!- Workdelene is now known as Adelene 14:47 < FacelessNap> I HAVE RETURNED 14:47 -!- FacelessNap is now known as Faceless 14:47 < Faceless> hi 14:47 < Teceler> wb 14:47 < Andygal> wb 14:47 <@Adelene> ^^ 14:48 < Faceless> gonna look at that kobold tag, just give me a minute on trying to explain planets and worlds and stuff to lurker 14:53 <@Adelene> It may not be 100% clear but she's asking 'do you have someplace in mind', not 'how do worlds work'. 15:00 < Andygal> Lap kobold! 15:00 <@Adelene> :D 15:01 < Andygal> Lonely Jokers need hugs, definitely. 15:01 <@Adelene> *nods emphatically* 15:02 <@Adelene> (I kind of want to sic her on Winter, too.) 15:04 < Andygal> yeeeeah. Winter could probably use a snuggly lap kobold. 15:05 <@Adelene> Getting him to accept this turn of events would be a trick, but she's willing to put some effort into it. 15:10 < Faceless> @Adelene, I figured that, and the resulting post was less informative than I thought it would. 15:12 < Faceless> and omg, winter and lurker, why you had to insert that concept in my mind ;___; 15:13 < Andygal> it is a good concept? 15:14 < Faceless> yes, but a sad one 15:14 < Faceless> or at least sad until it happens, you know? 15:14 < Andygal> Winter is sad yes. 15:18 < Faceless> I noticed :p 15:19 <@Adelene> Lurker meeting Winter is one of those situations where she might actually try to drag her tribe into it. She would be /very very careful/ about that, but she might. 15:33 < Teceler> hm? 15:34 <@Adelene> Like, I'm imagining she comes across him in the middle of one of his suicide attempts; this is Quite Alarming. 15:35 <@Adelene> And if she can't readily get him to quit doing that - which seems likely - she'd want backup; at least someone to keep an eye on him while she sleeps. 15:36 < Faceless> drag her tribe to what purpose? 15:37 <@Adelene> By 'drag her tribe into it' I mean 'try to get her tribe to help her deal with this weird suicidal creature'. No literal dragging involved. 15:37 < Andygal> awwww Lurker 15:37 <@Adelene> yup ^^ 15:38 < Faceless> so adorable 15:38 <@Adelene> ^^ 15:38 < Andygal> and now I super wanna see it. 15:39 <@Adelene> yeah. 15:39 <@Adelene> well, when kappabrain is brainish. ^^ 15:39 < Faceless> Great mental picture: Winter under a pile of cuddling kobolds 15:39 <@Adelene> indeed ^^ 15:39 < Andygal> awwwwwwwwwwwwwww 15:39 < Andygal> kobolds: almost as good as poofs. 15:40 < Andygal> I bet Winter gets a fuckton of poofs whenever the peal finds him. 15:40 < Andygal> also sex. 15:42 < Faceless> mostly the sex 16:05 -!- Faceless has quit 16:08 -!- MTC has quit 16:13 -!- FacelesStuck has joined #backstage 16:27 < FacelesStuck> hi again, what are you people up to? 16:27 <@Sonata> mostly the sex 16:27 < Andygal> work, mostly. 16:28 < FacelesStuck> Sonata... what? 16:29 <@Sonata> am do of joke 16:29 < FacelesStuck> ah, ok, do of joke is done then 16:29 < FacelesStuck> me do of reading 17:25 -!- FacelesStuck is now known as FacelessRead 18:03 < FacelessRead> omg Darius <3 19:44 * FacelessRead pokes the chat 19:45 < Andygal> Hey. 19:45 < FacelessRead> hi 19:45 < FacelessRead> what are you up to? 19:46 < Andygal> watching election results. 19:47 < FacelessRead> how they went? 19:47 < Andygal> still going.

14:00 <@Adelene> Depends on how much information he can get about cultural stuff. 14:00 <@Adelene> The problem is that if she comes home with strange magic on her she doesn't have any good way to prove she hasn't been hexed. 14:01 <@Adelene> And some of that paranoia is cultural and some of it is more specific to this particular group in this particular time; the elves wiped out a couple tribes with particularly nasty hexes back in the war. 14:02 < Andygal> :( 14:02 < FacelessTime> D: 14:02 < Teceler> :( 14:02 <@Adelene> yup. 14:06 < FacelessTime> So franklyn can tell that kobolds have the magic taboo, and *might* get a sense of lurker's tribe being a little more paranoid than usual, but not why, and even that *might* is a big one since it edges around "personal information" 14:07 <@Adelene> *nodnod* 14:09 < FacelessTime> like, in my head, family information is right out, but "ethnic group" is right in, and the tribe is something in between 14:09 < FacelessTime> anyway, I have to go to the dentist and only going to reply later :p 14:09 < Andygal> I have to go to the dentist next week. 14:12 <@Adelene> Good luck, Faceless. 14:13 <@Adelene> (If it helps, it's her whole meetup group that's paranoid, and that's basically equivalent to 'town'.) 14:15 < FacelessTime> that helps 14:15 < FacelessTime> so he knows this particular group is paranoid and should even get a sense of *there is a particular reason why* but not the elves being mean detail 14:15 <@Adelene> Sure. 14:16 < FacelessTime> Anyway 14:16 < FacelessTime> bye 14:16 -!- FacelessTime has quit 14:16 < Andygal> and this talk about the dentist has reminded me that I really need to check to see if I have any premedication. 14:42 -!- tecephone has joined #backstage 15:08 -!- tecephone has quit 15:08 -!- tecephone has joined #backstage 15:11 -!- tecephone has quit 15:11 -!- tecephone has joined #backstage 15:21 -!- tecephone has quit 15:22 -!- tecephone has joined #backstage 15:29 -!- tecephone has quit 15:32 -!- tecephone has joined #backstage 15:37 -!- tecephone has quit 15:37 -!- tecephone has joined #backstage 15:57 -!- tecephone has quit 15:57 -!- tecephone has joined #backstage 16:02 -!- MTC has quit 16:03 -!- tecephone has quit 16:03 -!- tecephone has joined #backstage 16:04 -!- tecephone has quit 16:04 -!- tecephone has joined #backstage 16:14 -!- FacelessTime has joined #backstage 16:14 < FacelessTime> oi 16:15 <@Sonata> hi 16:15 -!- Mori has joined #backstage 16:15 -!- Mori has quit 16:16 < FacelessTime> mori?

(The trade thing is actively unhelpful, he can probably figure that out with some thought even.) 11:03 < FacelessTime> why is unhelpful? 11:04 < FacelessTime> (and /I/ actually noticed this, my model of Franklyn is not certain if he knows yet, but I can have him figure that out now) 11:05 <@Adelene> Kobolds don't do ownership. The closest concept they have is 'hoarding resources away from your tribe' which is considered deeply antisocial. 11:06 < FacelessTime> huh, part of Franklyn motivation is also general... er 11:07 <@Adelene> And then side effects of that, particularly what it implies for their interactions with other cultures, but that part will probably be harder for him to get as your average kobold doesn't actually understand what the deal is there. 11:07 < FacelessTime> "there this group of people that could be helped by me, so I should try helping them" the fact that Lurker is offering stuff for free only motivates the former 11:07 < FacelessTime> I considered having Lurker using a device that grants Franklyn's power, but that sounded like something that would make her nervous 11:10 -!- Andygal has joined #backstage 11:10 -!- FacelessTime is now known as FacelessFood 11:10 <@Adelene> *nod* The problem is him presenting himself as someone who takes ownership/trade seriously, like, the standard kobold reaction to that is... kind of hard to properly describe, but definitely in the vicinity of 'ew, gross'? 11:11 <@Adelene> Lurker is relatively open-minded about it, but it's still not helping anything. 11:21 < FacelessFood> I almost feel like editing my last post now >.> 11:38 < FacelessFood> <.< 11:38 < FacelessFood> >.> 11:38 < FacelessFood> YOU SAW NOTHING 11:38 -!- FacelessFood is now known as FacelessTime 11:40 < Andygal> pffft 11:42 < FacelessTime> how do I change a username? 11:43 < FacelessTime> and or delete an sub-account? 11:44 < FacelessTime> in the mwf I mean 11:45 < Andygal> you can change a display name but not a username. 11:45 < FacelessTime> yes, that is what I meant 11:46 < FacelessTime> I want to change comeforthwinter to Come Forth Winter if possible 11:55 <@Adelene> tag 11:56 < FacelessTime> I actually found a way to change my global account username, but not the ones for the sub-accounts... 12:06 < FacelessTime> What can be made a portal again? 12:18 <@Adelene> Any continuous or stationary collection of matter. Fluids break quickly, though; air breaks almost instantly. 12:23 < FacelessTime> how about a sheet? works? is there a problem if the component matter changes? Like from cloth to steel? 12:25 <@Adelene> A sheet works; I don't have a strong intuition one way or the other whether transmuting the thing will break the spell, it probably depends on how the transmutation works. 12:27 <@Adelene> tag, massive cuteness alert. ^^ 12:29 < FacelessTime> oh my goodness 12:29 < FacelessTime> so much cute, it is too much xD 12:29 <@Adelene> :D 12:30 < Andygal> too cute, not allowed. 12:30 < FacelessTime> you need a fluff permit for this! 12:30 <@Adelene> We will have to send the kobold to cuteness jail. ^^ 12:32 < FacelessTime> Where she will be covered with unlicensed poofs, no doubt. 12:32 <@Adelene> What an inhumane punishment. :D 12:33 < FacelessTime> tag 12:33 < Andygal> <3 12:35 <@Adelene> tag 12:38 -!- Sonata has joined #backstage 12:38 -!- mode/#backstage [+o Sonata] by ChanServ 12:40 <@Adelene> o/ 12:41 < FacelessTime> Sonata o/ 12:41 < FacelessTime> I have a question 12:43 <@Adelene> (Faceless: The thing with portal frame objects is that you want them to either be very easy to damage, for temporary portals, or very hard to damage, for permanent ones.) 12:48 < FacelessTime> (adelene: I imagined that was something like that, if the Lighthouse organization gets involved they should be able to come up with something like a [insert metal here] sheet to us) 12:48 < FacelessTime> also, tag 12:49 <@Adelene> *nod* 12:50 <@Sonata> What's the question?

19:26 <@Sonata> it's about piloting a rover on an alien planet 19:27 <@Sonata> and taking photos of things 19:27 < Teceler> there is also a degree of plot 19:28 <@Sonata> yes 19:28 < Teceler> but I can't really say much about that without spoiling 19:53 < FacelessTime> it is possible to cancel a photo? 19:54 < Teceler> I /think/ so? don't remember exactly 19:55 < FacelessTime> I adjusted to give a photo a time of the day and I think it caused to take ten hours to photograph it 19:56 <@Sonata> I think you can cancel photos other than the very next one 19:56 < FacelessTime> this... still doesn't sound good enough, urgh 19:57 <@Sonata> sorry 19:57 < FacelessTime> It isn't your fault. 20:01 < FacelessTime> I am going to try very hard to not think about this game, or all I am going to think about is that "the devs didn't bother to allow you to cancel your next picture" urgh 20:01 < FacelessTime> sorry 20:01 < FacelessTime> huh, gonna try get photos from life is strange 20:01 < Teceler> I'm pretty sure there was a reason for it 20:01 < Teceler> rather than it being 'not bothering' 20:01 < Teceler> I don't remember what it was though 20:02 < Teceler> [hug if wanted] 20:10 -!- FacelessTime has quit 20:13 <@Sonata> i imagine it's something like 'they already started rendering the image' 20:14 <@Sonata> and maybe 'IC, the instructions have already been uploaded to the rover and it's already driving to the destination' 20:24 -!- FacelessTime has joined #backstage 20:24 < FacelessTime> hi again 20:25 < FacelessTime> and Teceler, I lately accept your hugs and put them on the hug account 21:21 <@Adelene> ...you know, I miss Link. 21:32 < Teceler> ...yeah.

Alternately, are there upgrades to do that? (this came up in discussion) 20:49 < Teceler> Teceler: There's a 'sensitivity' knob, and there are broad-spectrum filters for some common types of magic. "Give me only animistic magic, give me only mana-based magic, give me only psionics, give me only..." 20:49 < Teceler> er 20:49 < Teceler> <Teceler> Evenstar: do aetheroscopes have filters or anything for dealing with looking at ridiculous amounts of magic? Alternately, are there upgrades to do that? (this came up in discussion) 20:49 < Teceler> <Evenstar> Teceler: There's a 'sensitivity' knob, and there are broad-spectrum filters for some common types of magic. "Give me only animistic magic, give me only mana-based magic, give me only psionics, give me only..." 20:49 < Teceler> <Evenstar> Within individual magic systems you will probably need to purchase specialized filters. 20:49 < Teceler> <Evenstar> Like, if you are in D&D universe and want only Conjuration spells, you need a special filter for that. 20:50 < Teceler> <Evenstar> But the Aetheroscope will differentiate between wizards, druids, warlocks, and priests. 20:50 < Teceler> hmm 20:50 < FacelessTime> huh, not that useful for my character then 20:50 < Teceler> hm? 20:51 < Teceler> --I mean, what do you mean by 'good enough to tell function'? 20:51 < FacelessTime> you know, I really should create a document with the interesting eatings and write down my character's questions 20:51 < Teceler> ... 20:51 < FacelessTime> argh 20:51 < Teceler> I'm assuming that was a typo but 'the interesting eatings' XD 20:51 < FacelessTime> delete that 20:51 < FacelessTime> just a sec 20:52 < FacelessTime> ok, multitasking doesn't suit me 20:52 < Teceler> [hug if wanted?] 20:52 < Andygal> "interesting eatings" sounds FL-ish. 20:52 * FacelessTime puts hugs on the hug account 20:53 < Teceler> yes 20:53 < FacelessTime> Andygal it does xD 20:53 < FacelessTime> Aetheroscope: My character wants to be able to identify what magic is doing. It /might/ be able to do that to a degree, but not to the degree that my character wants/needs. 20:54 < FacelessTime> Also, I should create a list of things my characters would want to buy and/or ask questions about 20:55 < FacelessTime> (also, listening to Lets Play and chatting on two chats is too much for my noggin xD) 21:19 < FacelessTime> it is even possible for mortals to mint Cernnous or God-chrons? 21:19 < Teceler> if you can mint god-chron, you are, by definition, a god 21:19 < Teceler> but a god by the OTC's definition, not nessecarily others 21:20 < Teceler> --basically the critera for that is the ability to mint other currencies on that scale iirc? 21:20 * FacelessTime shrugs 21:21 * Teceler may not be explaining very well 21:21 < FacelessTime> another to put on the question list, even if it is just to stay OOC? 21:21 < FacelessTime> I think I understood 21:21 < FacelessTime> you can only mind go-chron if you are a god, but you can mind other stuff and trade for god-chron? 21:22 < Teceler> mm. not exactly? 21:22 < Teceler> like, if you can mint a Cernnous' worth of stuff in a year, than you qualify for 'god' status as far as the OTC is concerned 21:22 < Teceler> (--and also yes other things can be traded for god-chron) 21:24 < Teceler> probably also if you can [words] consistently sell them enough other stuff to equal that too 21:25 < FacelessTime> uhum,and I think someone mentioned my new characters might count as gods, because they are hella magical 21:25 < Teceler> what do they do? 21:25 < Teceler> (...possibly I should go catch up on the forum) 21:26 < FacelessTime> Technically me too xD 21:26 < Andygal> I should also go catch up on forum but I have too much else going on atm and also cannot brain today. 21:27 < FacelessTime> the being gods thing, was someone from here that commented, but they are each connected with a pocket dimension, when they dream they expand said dimension on the scale of a few square miles per night 21:27 < Teceler> Andygal: [hug if wanted] 21:27 < FacelessTime> Andygal, hugs if wanted? 21:27 < Teceler> hm. can they define what the expansion is? 21:27 < Andygal> Thanks. 21:28 < FacelessTime> Teceler, to a degree, the dimensions follow a theme from a dream they had. 21:28 < FacelessTime> One is themed after a party in a castle where fire didn't hurt. 21:29 < FacelessTime> The other is sort of a mockery of their culture's afterlife, but it does grant immortality to people that drink from special springs in the dimension 21:29 < Teceler> ...um. the immortality might do it. 21:30 < FacelessTime> The castle one can also instatiate new people this way, you can guess he doesnt use this ability lightly and his ability to expand the castle is on the "could crash several economies" level 21:30 < Teceler> although iirc you said it has downsides 21:30 < Teceler> hm 21:30 < Teceler> the OTC's economy is pretty hard to crash :P (they are designed to handle things like daeva) 21:32 < FacelessTime> Teceler, not exactly a downside, but it isn't only immortality, it also gives skymage powers to people that aren't, which translate to "wings plus some random atmokinetic gifts". 21:32 < FacelessTime> Which means they can't distribute it discretely, because skymagery is genetic 21:33 < Teceler> ...hm. you know I bet the OTC could trade them generic immortality for that 21:33 < FacelessTime> generic in what sense? 21:33 < Teceler> like 21:33 < Teceler> without such obvious side effects 21:34 -!- Adelene1 is now known as Adelene 21:34 < FacelessTime> they would apreciate that a hell lot 21:34 -!- Adelene is now known as Nickdelene 21:34 -!- Nickdelene has quit 21:34 -!- Adelene has joined #backstage 21:34 -!- mode/#backstage [+o Adelene] by ChanServ 21:34 < FacelessTime> o/ 21:34 <@Adelene> o/ 21:34 < Andygal> Hi Adelene 21:34 < Teceler> hello Adelene 21:35 <@Adelene> hi :) 21:36 < Teceler> I'm about to have to go for a while, but FacelessTime: that's kind of what the OTC is /about/ so 21:36 < Teceler> why are you time incidentally, or is that mibbit? 21:37 < FacelessTime> reference to Life is Strange 21:37 < Teceler> ah 21:37 < FacelessTime> ^^ 21:41 < FacelessTime> here is a surprised seal http://www.gfycat.com/AlienatedMenacingGoldfish 21:43 <@Sonata> so it is! 21:44 -!- Teceler is now known as Teceler|Away 21:46 < Andygal> ahahaha surprised seal 21:46 < Andygal> it looks very surprised. 22:00 < FacelessTime> cutely surprised 22:00 < FacelessTime> I am surprised with how humanly the reaction is 22:00 < FacelessTime> ^^ 22:30 < FacelessTime> what Experiential means? 22:32 <@Sonata> experience-ish? 22:32 <@Sonata> "experiential memory" I think means like a memory of an experience 22:32 <@Sonata> as opposed to, like, memorized book-knowledge 22:34 < FacelessTime> and it can do something like protecting you from damage due to *magic* 22:40 <@Sonata> yes 22:41 -!- Teceler|Away is now known as Teceler 22:41 < FacelessTime> This magic is convenient to explain things ^^ 22:41 < Teceler> FacelessTime: I thought the only 'experiental memory' was the Forgotten Song? 22:42 < Teceler> the others were something similar sounding but different 22:42 < Teceler> (I mention this because I recall Evenstar saying something about the whatever-the-other-thing-was actually being /connections to something magic/) 22:42 < Andygal> because being able to teleport because of a song you can't remember properly makes totoal sense. 22:43 < Teceler> pft 22:43 < Teceler> well 22:43 < Teceler> remembering it teleports you 22:43 < FacelessTime> There is at least two other things that use experiental memory 22:43 < Teceler> huh 22:43 < Teceler> okay 22:43 < Teceler> which? 22:43 < FacelessTime> one grants grace and the other immunity from falling damage 22:43 < Teceler> pretty sure those were called something similiar-but-different 22:43 < Teceler> moment 22:44 < FacelessTime> The Mercury Reaches and Endless Pit 22:45 < Teceler> oh 22:45 < Teceler> I got them backwards 22:45 < Teceler> the forgotten song is a 'cognitive pattern' 22:45 < Teceler> the mercury reaches and endless pit are 'experiential memories' 22:46 < Teceler> iirc Evenstar said those were connections to something though 22:46 < Teceler> like 22:46 < Teceler> attunements? 22:46 < Teceler> [words] 22:46 < Andygal> some kind of "place of power". 22:46 < FacelessTime> huh, ok... 22:48 < FacelessTime> man, I probably should thread the OTC a little less in character 22:48 < Teceler> hm? 22:48 < FacelessTime> Fenris (Come Forth Winter) would totally do a list with each item and ask about each one. 22:48 < Teceler> pfffft 22:48 < Teceler> um 22:48 < FacelessTime> but ooc that sounds Very Annoying 22:48 < Teceler> pft 22:48 < Teceler> ask Evenstar, but 22:49 < FacelessTime> (I am technically doing the list, but I am trying to trim it) 22:49 * Teceler nods. 22:49 < FacelessTime> Parabola-Linen Suit or Gown 22:49 < FacelessTime> o.o 22:50 < Teceler> I believe it has been established that the OTC has been trading with the Fingerkings Xd 22:50 < Teceler> *XD 22:52 < FacelessTime> I know but /still/ 22:53 <@Sonata> Non-Copyright-Infringing Laser Sword 22:53 < Andygal> ahaha 22:54 < FacelessTime> xD 22:57 < FacelessTime> Jar of Jellied Elf Ears 22:57 < FacelessTime> o.o 22:57 < FacelessTime> o.o 22:57 < FacelessTime> o.o 22:58 < Teceler> ...Faceless have you not previously read this? 22:58 < Andygal> the elves in question are cannibalistic. 22:58 < Teceler> well 22:58 < FacelessTime> ah 22:58 < FacelessTime> aaaah 22:58 < Teceler> I'm not sure that's the primary relevant aspect of the situation? 22:59 < FacelessTime> Well, I forgot that it was the DF elves that did that 22:59 < FacelessTime> but still 22:59 <@Sonata> OTC claims that these are ethically sourced 22:59 < FacelessTime> Fenris reaction: Can I pay you to NOT sell this? 22:59 < Teceler> when Lizzie asked they were from already-dead-or-dying elves or something? it's in the thread I don't remember exactly 23:01 < FacelessTime> still, ew xD 23:03 <@Sonata> it would be unreasonable if a multiversal corporation had/did nothing that we found offensive 23:04 < Andygal> the OTC is morally ambigious, this is intentional on the author's part. 23:04 < FacelessTime> I know, it is part of the charm 23:05 < Andygal> I like it for *not* being Stupid Evil. 23:05 < FacelessTime> but it won't stop me (or the fictional voices in my head) of saying: Ew 23:05 < Teceler> heh 23:10 < FacelessTime> "House of Cards" The glee of destroying something that you have personally constructed. 23:10 < FacelessTime> o.o??? 23:10 < Teceler> it is a copy of that experience! 23:11 < FacelessTime> ah, of course 23:11 < FacelessTime> xD 23:11 < FacelessTime> Fenris: I can do that myself with magical wind! 23:11 < Teceler> XD 23:12 < Andygal> Build snowman, maim snowman with shovel. 23:12 <@Sonata> ice pick would be traditional 23:15 < FacelessTime> Andygal, what? xD 23:15 < Andygal> Well what else are you supposed to do with a snowman after you built it? 23:16 < Teceler> show it off? :P 23:16 < FacelessTime> take selfies 23:17 < FacelessTime> watch it die a slow melty death? 23:17 <@Sonata> build a snow army 23:17 < Teceler> pffffffffffft 23:17 < Teceler> ...also :( at 'slow melty death' 23:17 < Teceler> (FL how you do have so many issues) 23:17 <@Sonata> ...have you read A Bluer Shade of White 23:18 < Andygal> better for it to die herically in a fierce battle against a shovel. 23:18 < Teceler> :( 23:18 <@Sonata> hide inside it and spring out unexpectedly at passersby to murder them 23:19 * Sonata goes to bed. 23:19 < Teceler> sleep well 23:19 < Andygal> goodnight! 23:19 <@Sonata> goodnight friends 23:19 -!- Sonata has quit 23:20 < FacelessTime> heh, too late for the goodnight 23:20 < FacelessTime> and I have read Bluer Shade of White, it is great :D 23:40 < FacelessTime> Fenris reaction to Pan-Galactic Gargle-Blaster: I will pay you money for not selling this to my brother and his friends.

I am going to try to use alphabetic order starting per world then maybe going back and doing authors and characters 13:18 * Teceler thinks. 13:25 < FacelessMe> The internet is not stable because of rain, so I am going to turn off the computer and try to take a nap 13:25 < FacelessMe> o/ 13:25 < Teceler> sleep well 13:26 < FacelessMe> created this because it sounded safe http://manyworlds.mwzip.com/wiki/Daevinity 13:26 < Teceler> (I can't speak for anyone else, but feel free to put mine on the wiki, the onlyr eason they aren't already is because I haven't gotten to it yet) 13:27 < FacelessMe> Ferpection 13:27 < FacelessMe> anyway, bye o/ 13:27 -!- FacelessMe has quit 13:27 < Teceler> by 13:30 <@Sonata> I don't /know of/ any problems with putting information in the wiki 14:09 * Teceler nods. 15:00 -!- Sonata has quit 15:14 -!- FacelessFrog has joined #backstage 15:15 < FacelessFrog> hello 15:15 < Teceler> welcome back 15:16 -!- Sonata has joined #backstage 15:16 -!- mode/#backstage [+o Sonata] by ChanServ 15:22 -!- Sonata has quit 15:24 -!- Sonata has joined #backstage 15:24 -!- mode/#backstage [+o Sonata] by ChanServ 15:26 < FacelessFrog> o/ 15:26 <@Sonata> not sure what my computer is doing 15:26 < FacelessFrog> Is there a special way to contact someone ooc or you just specify that the message is ooc? 15:27 < Teceler> iirc the convention is to put OOC: in the title of the pm. or Backstage: would probably work too 15:28 <@Sonata> For a forum pm, you just specify that it's ooc, yeah. Sometimes ((double parentheses)) are used to set off an OOC section of an otherwise IC message. You can also use ooc-only channels like Backstage posts or irc. 15:30 < FacelessFrog> I wanted to contact OTC/Eva directly about considering my character gods or at least "god enough" to make some God-Chron. 15:31 < Teceler> good luck 15:31 < Teceler> (with contacting Evenstar, I mean) 15:32 < FacelessFrog> thanks ^_^ 15:48 < Andygal> Ugh I want to read a thing but it doesn't come in PDF form. 15:48 < Teceler> [hug if wanted] 15:51 * FacelessFrog also offers hugs 15:51 < FacelessFrog> which incidently reminded me that Incandescence doesn't have epub form yet 15:51 < FacelessFrog> but I think they are trying to make now? 15:52 < Andygal> Yes. 15:57 < FacelessFrog> hooray \o/ 15:57 < FacelessFrog> sorry for the non-pdf thing though? 15:59 < Andygal> Thanks. 16:16 < FacelessFrog> http://amultiverse.com/comic/2015/10/14/bunnies-debate/ 16:21 <@Sonata> yes good 16:21 <@Sonata> i concur 18:37 -!- FacelessFrog has quit 19:19 -!- FacelessFrog has joined #backstage 19:29 < FacelessFrog> hi again 19:29 < Teceler> hi 19:29 <@Sonata> hi 19:29 <@Sonata> welcome back 19:31 < FacelessFrog> anything up? 19:41 * Adelene has had no spoons to speak of for a few days but will hopefully be able to tag the thread with Franklyn again soon. 19:41 < Teceler> [hug] 19:41 <@Adelene> *hug 19:41 <@Adelene> * 19:41 <@Adelene> I mean, for good reasons? The informational interview I went on on Thursday that ate my spoon reserve went /really well/, just. 19:48 <@Sonata> sometimes things are both expensive and worth it 19:48 <@Adelene> *emphatic nodding* 19:49 < FacelessFrog> Adelene, hugs? 19:49 < FacelessFrog> also, don't worry and recover your spoons :) 19:49 <@Adelene> I'm pretty sure the only reason I didn't walk out of there with a job offer is that they don't have any positions open right now. And he took my email so he can get in touch with me if that changes. 19:49 <@Adelene> Also yes, *hug* 19:49 <@Sonata> *hug* 19:50 < FacelessFrog> *hug* 19:50 <@Adelene> (I have a really /useful/ combination of skills/aptitudes/interests.

Mostly because it sounds the authors would have fun reading about the religion based on Milliways 22:07 < Andygal> religion based on Milliways XD? 22:16 < Facemore> It is a world with some weird magical properties. But the important thign is, that Milliways happens there /often/ and eventually stories about it merged on a religion. Priests give sermons that they read from napkins and they believe that the bar was created by God. 22:16 < Facemore> mind you, no one that belongs to that region ever finds the door, it almost like they ought to cause problem if they did ^^ 22:18 < Facemore> also their equivalent of baptism involves is "The First Drink is Free" which simbolizes how the god's blessing is offered to everyone once without pay 22:49 -!- Facemore has quit 22:58 -!- FacelessFrog has joined #backstage 22:59 < FacelessFrog> o/ 22:59 < Teceler> hello again 23:01 <@Sonata> hi 23:01 < Andygal> Hi. 23:06 < FacelessFrog> It is just me or mibbit has been temperamental to everyone? 23:43 -!- Sonata has quit --- Day changed Sun Oct 25 2015 00:08 -!- jarnvidr_ has joined #backstage 00:25 -!- FacelessFrog has quit 02:05 -!- MTC has joined #backstage 02:17 -!- jarnvidr_ has quit 02:38 -!- Teceler is now known as Teceler|Asleep 03:38 -!- Evenstar has joined #backstage 03:38 < Evenstar> I LIIIIVEEEE 03:38 < Andygal> !! 03:38 < Evenstar> Hi again Andygal 03:38 * Evenstar has been buried under university 03:39 < Andygal> Ugh. 03:39 * Evenstar finally came up for air 03:39 * Evenstar has at least been doing a creative writing course so that's fun. 03:39 * Evenstar still sighs at her lack of Chron. 03:40 < Evenstar> Anyway yes! 03:40 < Evenstar> How has the forum been going? 03:41 < Andygal> Very slowly. 03:41 < Evenstar> Apparently so, yes 03:42 < Andygal> seems like a lot of people are lacking spoons lately. 03:42 < Evenstar> Summer ending will do that :| 03:43 * Evenstar wonders if Aestrix or Kappa will be around for her to muck with their magic systems. 03:44 < Andygal> Aestrix has been swallowed by college as well I believe. 03:44 < Evenstar> It is a hungry beast. 03:44 * Evenstar is remembering that Hitchhiker's Guide quote 03:45 < Evenstar> "It's rather unpleasantly like being drunk" 03:45 < Evenstar> "What's wrong with being drunk?" 03:45 < Evenstar> "Ask a glass of water" 03:45 * Evenstar would prefer to stop being omnomnommed. 03:46 < Andygal> (hugs?) 03:46 < Evenstar> (Hugs) 03:46 < Evenstar> <3 03:47 * Evenstar needs to write an 8 page short story for November 3, aaaa 03:47 * Evenstar looks at her writing on the forum 03:47 * Evenstar has no idea why she's suddenly panicking over having to write....
