20:19:52 Topic for #d&d set by Ballig at Thu May 12 20:04:35 2011
20:20:10 <Ballig> you don't want ti done now?
20:20:21 <Avatar> not really
20:20:24 <Avatar> is there a rush
20:20:33 <Avatar> I am macroing magery
20:20:40 <Ballig> no rush
20:20:42 <Ballig> but it's free gold
20:20:46 <Ballig> just sitting around in a chest
20:20:46 <Avatar> although what I should be doing is macroing stealing
20:20:48 <Avatar> to GM stealing
20:20:54 <Ballig> yeah you're only a night away from it
20:20:56 <Avatar> the chest isn't going anywhere
20:20:59 <Ballig> can lila fish
20:21:03 <Avatar> nope
20:21:09 <Avatar> bob can and ribbons can
20:21:13 <Ballig> ah
20:21:17 <Ballig> I like to macro stealing while fishing
20:21:22 <Ballig> although I haven't bothered for a while
20:21:26 <Ballig> when you macro it how heavy are you stealing?
20:21:28 <Ballig> 9 stones?
20:22:03 <Avatar> 8
20:22:06 <Avatar> 9 stones says it's too heavy
20:23:08 <Ballig> ah okay
20:23:10 <Ballig> and it still works?
20:24:41 <Avatar> yeah
20:24:43 <Avatar> well it has to
20:25:12 <Avatar> 75.4 real magery now
20:25:48 <Avatar> 79.0 fake
20:26:18 <Ballig> cool
20:27:37 <Ballig> hmm
20:27:44 <Ballig> I can macro for 12 hours if I heal every 20 seconds
20:28:48 Mekkis_work has quit (Quit: Lost terminal)
20:43:37 <Ballig> Avatar: my newbie wizard hat just decayed
20:48:18 <Mekkis_x200> is there anything to the game other than macroing?
20:48:23 <Mekkis_x200> or otherwise grinding?
20:48:39 <Ballig> it's the same as any MMO
20:48:43 <Ballig> you have to grind before you can play the real game
20:48:44 <Mekkis_x200> so no
20:48:49 <Ballig> at least in this game you can macro the grind
20:49:10 <Ballig> you clearly have an anti-MMO bias
20:49:13 <Ballig> so why are you even asking
20:49:51 <Avatar> 99.9
20:49:53 <Mekkis_x200> in some MMOs, people talk about their achievements
20:50:05 <Mekkis_x200> rather than just increasing some numbes
20:50:08 <Mekkis_x200> numbers*
20:50:19 <Ballig> dude
20:50:22 <Avatar> Mekkis: I conned the king of trinsic to give me, a thief he exiled, a heap of money
20:50:23 <Ballig> I said "it's the same as any MMO"
20:50:24 <Ballig> and you said "so no"
20:50:26 <Avatar> that is an achievement
20:50:27 <Ballig> that's a clear anti-MMO bias
20:50:30 <Ballig> you can't now claim you don't have that bias
20:50:48 <Mekkis_x200> you're correct
20:50:59 <Mekkis_x200> I can't claim that I don't have that bias with a straight face
20:51:16 <Ballig> then stop asking us about it
20:51:30 <Avatar> you should play mekkis
20:51:34 <Avatar> find out THE REAL DEAL
20:52:09 <Ballig> Avatar: if he was honest with himself he'd actually enjoy the programming aspect of macroing
20:52:13 <Ballig> but he wouldn't be honest with himself
20:52:40 <Avatar> it's not like wow mekkis
20:52:50 <Avatar> you can't have the same experiences in wow that you can in UO
20:54:17 <Ballig> heh
20:54:26 <Ballig> Everybody Hates Chris just referenced a psychological theory
20:54:30 <Mekkis_x200> I did macro a game once
20:54:35 <Ballig> but was wrong about its application
20:57:55 <Mekkis_x200> Brunius, what was the first session you played in Conquest?
21:03:55 <Mekkis_x200> Ballig, is there anything preventing reuse of character numbers on your website?
21:04:26 <Ballig> the database autoincrements
21:05:18 <Mekkis_x200> what about for a given sheet to change name?
21:06:03 <Brunius> Mekkis: Friday 12:30
21:06:23 <Mekkis_x200> what scenario?
21:06:48 <Ballig> the database wouldn't have an issue with changing the name
21:06:55 <Ballig> I'd just have to code something in
21:07:01 <Brunius> Uhhh
21:07:03 <Brunius> Hang on a sec
21:07:18 <Mekkis_x200> Ballig, at the moment, the name lookup assumes it doesn't change
21:07:21 <Mekkis_x200> !recentsheets
21:07:28 <diebot> Mekkis_x200, 2011-05-06 13:32 172 Kendall

21:07:37 <Brunius> #33: Assault on the Kingdom of the Impossible (PFRPG)
21:07:41 <Ballig> at the moment, it doesn't
21:07:59 <Mekkis_x200> good :P
21:08:01 <Ballig> and I don't really see a reason to add anything for it
21:10:00 <Mekkis_x200> Brunius, I've played that. but haven't DMed it yet
21:10:27 <Ballig> Mekkis_x200: does your name lookup have problems with characters named the same?
21:10:38 <Ballig> !recentsheets Ballig
21:10:55 <Ballig> !sheet Ballig
21:10:59 <Mekkis_x200> no, but it only gives you the 5 most recent sheets
21:11:03 <Ballig> your bot is a jerk
21:11:31 <Mekkis_x200> I'm in the process of implementing a lookup/search
21:11:51 <Ballig> consider having an optional campaign parameter
21:12:06 <Mekkis_x200> I'd need to store campaigns then
21:12:13 <Mekkis_x200> not too difficult, I guess
21:12:37 <Mekkis_x200> any chance I can get read-only SQL access?
21:12:51 <Ballig> I'll look into it
21:13:32 <Mekkis_x200> it doesn't really bother me
21:14:12 <Mekkis_x200> I also need to put some antispam in there, for some of the commands
21:14:29 <Mekkis_x200> probably just make !changes respond in PM
21:15:15 <Mekkis_x200> or someone like Brunius might just spam it
21:16:13 <Brunius> I don't spam Mekkis
21:16:18 <Brunius> Not anymore
21:17:45 <Mekkis_x200> correction: someone like Brunius two years ago
21:18:34 <Brunius> I haven't been in this channel for two years
21:26:22 <Mekkis_x200> close to
21:26:34 <Mekkis_x200> remember, Mrivan disappeared over a year ago
21:26:37 <Avatar> brunius the spammer became brunius the stalker
21:26:52 <Mekkis_x200> I should teach Brunius more techniques
21:28:36 <Mekkis_x200> so I don't have to do the bossman-style revelation alone
21:28:42 <Brunius> Mekkis: I've been in the channel for 1 year and 4 months
21:28:46 <Brunius> or thereabouts
21:28:57 <Brunius> Closer to three months, really
21:30:36 <Mekkis_x200> how should I handle name searches?
21:31:01 <Mekkis_x200> as in, should I allow wildcards?
21:31:12 <Mekkis_x200> and if there are multiple matches, what should I do with it
21:31:30 <Mekkis_x200> top 3?
21:35:09 <Avatar> just use exact match
21:35:49 <Avatar> duplicate names default to alphabetical order on the campaign name
21:35:59 <Avatar> there'll never be two characters with the same name in a campaign
21:43:03 <Avatar> do any of you know anything about a spam war that happened today
21:43:06 <Avatar> or some email thing
21:43:54 <Brunius> Yeah
21:44:03 <Brunius> Some fb app hacked people's accounts
21:44:05 <Brunius> or something
21:48:05 S711 has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
21:48:41 S711 ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
21:50:13 <Avatar> our email at work went down for a while today
21:50:16 <Avatar> thought it might be related
21:51:25 <Brunius> does it use crappy microsoft mail?
21:51:56 <Avatar> probably, I don't know
21:52:01 <Avatar> we use outlook
21:52:22 <Brunius> no way of knowing without going into the accounts then
21:52:34 <Brunius> outlook is an email downloader type thing
21:53:26 <Brunius> Fuck yeah !
21:53:32 <Brunius> Cross country has been cancelled :D
21:59:41 Topic for #d&d set by Ballig at Thu May 12 21:32:53 2011
21:59:47 <Avatar> now I never have to macro stealing ever again
21:59:50 <Brunius> the turing test is a test of how lifelike an AI is
21:59:53 <Mekkis_x200> YAY
22:00:13 <Brunius> if an AI passes the test, it has convinced the tester that it is a human
22:00:18 <Brunius> if it failed, it has not
22:00:28 <Brunius> YAY, Mekkis?
22:01:19 <Brunius> Dammit g2g cya guys
22:01:43 <Mekkis_x200> so
22:01:54 <Mekkis_x200> Diebot managed to convince at least one person :)
22:03:24 <Avatar> Ballig are you still about
