00:00:22 <Avatar> that's what they all say
00:00:26 <Avatar> roll up a character
00:04:03 <Souldrake> Hard to roll one up when you don't know what you'll be playing or what the rest of the party is made up of. =P
00:09:55 <Avatar> you only commit to 2 sessions per module
00:10:07 <Avatar> about 3-4 hours per session
00:10:30 <Avatar> once you complete the module, you never have to play again if you don't want to
00:10:37 <Avatar> the party is made up of allsorts
00:10:44 <Avatar> you never know what classes you'll be playing with
00:11:04 <Avatar> at the lower levels we have a uh
00:11:52 <Avatar> wizard, cleric
00:12:15 <Avatar> level 2 cavalier and ranger I think
00:12:29 <Avatar> how did you find the channel
00:23:44 Sachiru has quit (Quit: Shutting Down )
00:40:42 <Souldrake> Google search lol.
00:41:47 <Souldrake> bah. Wizzies and clerics tend to be my favorite classes to play. Though I guess I could have fun with a rogue or warrior. Not playing an actual video game so... =)
00:47:37 <Souldrake> Problem is a lot of the fun annoying chars I can only play as a DM lol. Like Brak the Kobold Swashbuckler.
00:47:38 <Souldrake> =P
00:50:00 <Souldrake> Brak had a ring of unlimited resurrection fused to his toe. He would charge into battle utterly fearless saying "Brak brave! Brak bold! Brak will slay <insert monster here>", die horribly, then teleport away and resurrect an hour or so later with no memory of his death. Since said creature was gone, Brak naturally slayed it. =P
00:57:54 <Avatar> on the site, go to the downloads section and get a char sheet template and CA

17:31:45 Avatar- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
17:34:36 <Avatar-> :o)
17:53:24 <Avatar> ballig
17:53:27 <Avatar> you have to come see this
17:55:34 <Ballig1> what
17:55:43 <Avatar> do you know my fishing spot in jhelom
17:55:47 Ballig1 is now known as Ballig
17:55:50 <Ballig> I think I know one of them
17:55:54 <Avatar> come over to it
17:56:31 <Ballig> how did you get there
17:56:40 <Avatar> I don't know
17:56:41 <Avatar> but
17:56:48 <Avatar> like this is literally how I was
17:56:54 <Avatar> and I moved the boat back to the shore
17:56:57 <Ballig> haha
17:56:59 <Avatar> and the escort was standing in my spot
17:57:01 <Ballig> that's how you got to the island, dead
17:57:01 <Avatar> and it picked up the escort
17:57:08 <Avatar> well
17:57:12 <Avatar> I don't think so
17:57:17 <Avatar> I was on a much more complicated spot
17:57:18 <Ballig> I bet it is
17:57:21 <Avatar> and actually on the island
17:57:26 <Avatar> does it teleport you to the nearest shore when you die
17:57:33 <Ballig> I think if you die and disconnect
17:57:43 <Avatar> maybe that's it
17:57:46 <Avatar> there was no boat

19:29:25 <Ballig> Avatar: I just protected your house from a goblin army all by myself
19:30:30 <Brunius> You could have called out on here
19:30:33 <Brunius> if you wanted help
19:30:43 <Avatar> yeah
19:30:45 <Avatar> why didn't you
19:30:47 <Avatar> I didn't ask you to
19:31:07 <Ballig> I fought them off single-handed
19:31:11 <Ballig> got myself a harpoon
19:31:13 <Ballig> not a bad weapon
19:31:53 <Brunius> yeah, it's OK
19:33:35 <Avatar> I don't like the harpoon
19:34:27 <Ballig> it's thebest ranged weapon I've found so far
19:34:37 <Ballig> you can shoot it over the head of a group of enemies and it will hit them all when you drag it back
19:36:33 <Ballig> made another elevator to hell
19:36:37 <Ballig> once again the imps are overwhelming
19:36:54 <Avatar> those imps really are ridiculous
19:37:13 <Avatar> I am amazed we managed to do anything down there on our powerful characters
19:37:27 <Ballig> the j ungle is probably easier
19:37:33 <Ballig> I'm hoping to find it eventually
19:37:41 <Avatar> it is much easier
19:37:44 <Avatar> no comparison
19:39:54 <Ballig> is it likely that making elevators will eventually find it
19:47:25 <Avatar> the surface is pretty big
19:47:39 <Ballig> is that a yes
19:49:14 <Avatar> oh, you're asking
19:49:22 <Avatar> not sure
19:49:46 <Avatar> I found it by chance on the 7777 server
20:07:01 <Ballig> Avatar: did you send Brunius
20:09:53 <Ballig> Avatar: you did, didn/'t you
20:29:01 <Avatar> good game did a pretty sweet review of terraria
20:29:08 <Avatar> wouldn't recommend it to anyone who hasn't played yet, though
20:29:56 <Ballig> Avatar: you sent Brunius to sabotage my castle didn't you
20:30:24 <Avatar> how did he sabotage it
20:30:32 <Ballig> he blew up one of the rooms
20:30:43 <Avatar> that's not kosher
20:30:53 <Ballig> how much did you pay him
20:30:55 <Avatar> why didn't you just push him into the lava instead
20:30:56 <Brunius> It was an accident
20:31:26 <Ballig> I didn't push you into lava
20:31:30 <Ballig> I mined the brick you were hanging onto
20:31:35 <Ballig> and you didn't land in the lava anyway
20:31:35 <Ballig> :p
20:31:45 <Avatar> yeah it was quite funny how high my survivability is
20:31:51 <Avatar> meanwhile you accidentally grappled into lava
20:33:00 <Ballig> yeah but I didn't die
20:33:05 <Ballig> it was like a quarter of a tile of lava
20:34:54 <Brunius> What do I want to look for in a graphics card?

20:42:52 Sachiru ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:43:52 <Ballig> I need one of those magic balls
20:45:15 <Mekkis> Brunius, one that does what you want it to do
20:46:23 <Ballig> what a useful response
20:47:58 <Avatar> Brunius: http://www.gpureview.com/superlatives.php
20:50:55 <Mekkis> Brunius, what do you want it to do?
20:51:07 <Avatar> I need one that can play DNF without lagging like a bitch :(
20:51:18 <Mekkis> is DNF out yet?
20:51:31 <Avatar> the demo is
20:51:35 <Avatar> and the xbox version can be torrented
20:51:59 <Avatar> Ballig: you won't believe this
20:52:05 <Avatar> IPY has some of the dumbest GMs I have ever seen
20:52:06 <Ballig> what
20:52:11 <Avatar> tilly replied to me
20:52:11 <Mekkis> you can't go too wrong with a 6850
20:52:25 <Mekkis> /6870
20:52:30 <Ballig> replied to you about what
20:52:35 <Avatar> about my fishing thing
20:52:43 <Ballig> right
20:53:00 <Avatar> "Hello, I have moved you from the boat ledge back to shore. I think someone was griefing you by placing a boat where your fishing macro was targetting, whcich was making you click on the plank, which they then closed.."
20:53:17 <Ballig> ha
20:53:37 <Ballig> sweet now we know how to grief fishers
20:53:54 <Avatar> that's not even how they did it
20:54:01 <Avatar> the boat picked me up when they moved it close enough
20:54:16 <Mekkis> new red faction's out
20:54:18 <Avatar> the fishing macro doesn't work like that anyway
20:54:23 <Avatar> when you target water, it's a single click
20:54:25 <Avatar> not a double click
20:55:10 <Ballig> doesn't mean there isn't a glitch
20:55:18 <Ballig> which causes targeting a plank to make you get on it
20:55:40 <Avatar> there's no glitch man
20:55:49 <Ballig> obviously there's a glitch
20:55:50 <Brunius> Mekkis: I'm looking for one that can run the Frostbite 2 engine
20:55:52 <Avatar> I mean I haven't tested it, but that is a one in a million possibility
20:56:07 <Avatar> and I wasn't actually standing on the plank
20:56:10 <Mekkis> <Mekkis> you can't go too wrong with a 6850/6870
20:56:10 <Ballig> obviously there's a glitch, you just don't think /that's/ the glitch
20:56:15 <Ballig> no, because they closed the plank
20:56:25 <Avatar> it's one tile north of it
20:56:31 <Avatar> you don't walk onto the boat
20:56:37 <Avatar> it's like on the side of the boat
20:56:41 <Avatar> you can't walk onto that part
20:56:44 <Ballig> maybe that's where the game places you if you close a plank while standing on it
20:56:51 <Avatar> it doesn't man
20:56:54 <Avatar> are you serious
20:56:56 <Ballig> you don't know that
20:56:59 <Avatar> yes I do
20:57:02 <Avatar> so should you
20:57:04 <Ballig> you clearly don't know how glitches in programming work
20:57:15 <Avatar> that's just not how it works man
20:57:26 <Ballig> sorry, but it's in no way outside the realm of possibility
20:57:29 <Ballig> as far as programming is concerned
20:57:41 <Avatar> wel
20:57:43 <Avatar> nothing's impossible
20:57:56 <Ballig> it's not just "not impossible"
20:58:01 <Ballig> it's also "not improbable"
20:58:40 <Ballig> and before you go testing it and say "ha! see! I was right!" I'm not saying that's the glitch
20:58:44 <Ballig> I'm just saying it's possible
20:59:04 <Avatar> it is improbably
20:59:09 <Avatar> improbable*
20:59:11 <Ballig> no it's not
20:59:19 <Ballig> you don't understand enough about programming to be able to say that
20:59:19 <Avatar> it is borderline impossible improbable
20:59:27 <Ballig> you can't just say "but the macro doesn't double click! so that's not it!"
20:59:32 <Avatar> I can say that because I know how the game works
20:59:39 <Ballig> this is a glitch in the game
20:59:42 <Ballig> this isn't how the game is meant to work
20:59:44 <Avatar> are you telling me your macro double clicks water
20:59:45 <Mekkis> I'm siding with Ballig on this
20:59:47 <Ballig> therefore your knowledge of game mechanics is moot
20:59:59 <Avatar> or it could glitch and double click instead of single click
21:00:07 <Ballig> forget the fact that the macro doesn't double click
21:00:09 <Ballig> this is a /glitch/
21:00:17 <Avatar> cmon
21:00:24 <Ballig> it's not impossible that the game glitches when you target a boat plank when trying to fish
21:00:51 <Ballig> it's even possible that it only happens with macros, because the game targets tiles
21:00:53 <Ballig> which can be stacked
21:00:58 <Ballig> but that macro only targets the top one
21:01:07 <Ballig> (as opposed to my tree lumberjack macro that cycles through them)
21:01:13 <Ballig> so if the script detects a water tile, then a plank tile is placed on top of it
21:01:24 <Ballig> it might try to directly interact with the plank in an unexpected way
21:02:32 <Brunius> Avatar, it's set to fish there, and then it can't fish there, and tries to do something else, that it's not programmed to do.
21:02:51 <Brunius> You have no idea what the response will be
21:02:57 <Brunius> damn, my connection is falling out
21:03:40 <Ballig> I think an unintended side-effect of a macro (which directly manipulates packet data, by the way) is more likely than simply "the boat came too close and I got stuck to it, more than once"
21:06:02 <Avatar> okay, boat owner is in jail
21:06:54 <Brunius> gg
21:06:59 <Brunius> night guys
21:07:02 Brunius is now known as Brunius_AFK
21:07:47 <Ballig> who said it was necessarily the boat owner who did it
21:07:52 <Ballig> we often hijack boats and go sailing
21:08:01 <Brunius_AFK> Oh, and next shadow orb you blow up on 7778 will spawn an eater of worlds
21:08:05 <Ballig> hell, that's a great way to double-grief
21:08:10 <Ballig> hijack someone's boat, grief like 50 fishermen
21:08:16 <Ballig> they get pissed off, the boat owner gets jailed
21:08:20 <Ballig> Brunius_AFK: what
21:08:23 <Ballig> I was about to go blow one up
21:08:27 <Ballig> did you blow up th e one I was going to
21:08:38 <Ballig> was it one visible in my elevator
21:09:13 <Brunius_AFK> I don't think so
21:09:22 <Brunius_AFK> I've blown up two at the bottom of chasms
21:09:26 <Avatar> I don't care
21:09:31 <Avatar> someone is paying hell for this
21:09:39 <Brunius_AFK> what?
21:09:44 <Avatar> the boat thing
21:09:48 <Brunius_AFK> oh, your UO thing
21:10:11 <Avatar> the gangplanks are locked on both sides
21:10:14 <Avatar> that's a decent indicator
21:11:42 <Brunius_AFK> god my connection is dropping out a lot
21:13:19 <Brunius_AFK> Ballig: I blew up two in the east
21:13:51 <Avatar> did you make a castle brunius
21:13:55 <Avatar> or just blow up ballig's
21:13:59 <Brunius_AFK> I didn't
21:14:03 <Brunius_AFK> And it was an accident
21:14:09 <Avatar> cmon
21:14:10 <Avatar> we know
21:14:18 <Brunius_AFK> Avatar. It was an accident
21:14:34 <Brunius_AFK> I was moving something from a vendor and my brother bumped my elbow
21:14:49 <Avatar> ohhh your brother did it
21:14:50 <Avatar> that makes sense
21:14:53 <Ballig> just soloed an eater of worlds
21:15:01 <Brunius_AFK> NOICE
21:15:05 <Brunius_AFK> What did you get from the orb?
21:15:09 <Avatar> you eater of worlds soloist
21:15:23 <Brunius_AFK> I got two muskets from the two I destroyed :/
21:15:26 <Ballig> shadow scale I think
21:15:29 <Brunius_AFK> I mean who needs two muskets?
21:15:30 <Ballig> and an orb of light
21:16:00 <Ballig> the shadow scalemail is pretty hot
21:16:37 <Ballig> good thing I chose to make demonite greaves and not a demonite scalemail
21:17:15 <Brunius_AFK> I've got a shadow helmet and shadow scalemail
21:17:17 <Brunius_AFK> :P
21:18:05 <Ballig> I now have enough demonite bars to make shadow helm (completing my shadow armour)
21:18:15 <Ballig> as well as a demonite axe and demonite hammer
21:19:23 <Brunius_AFK> BALL O HURT
21:19:25 <Brunius_AFK> PWNED
21:20:18 <Ballig> I want to go bust that other shadow orb
21:20:24 <Ballig> but it'll land a meteorite and I can never find those
21:20:24 <Brunius_AFK> anyway, AFK for realz now
21:20:33 Brunius_AFK is now known as Brunius_AFK_AFK
21:20:37 <Ballig> I was trying to find one when you first woke the eater of souls
21:20:40 <Ballig> and it killed me horribly
21:39:56 <Ballig> Avatar: what do I do with 300 meteorite
21:42:56 <Avatar> smelt it
21:42:59 <Avatar> obv
21:43:15 <Ballig> yeah what should I make out of it
21:43:18 <Ballig> I'm already in full shadowscale armour
21:43:25 <Ballig> so would a phaseblade be a good idea?
21:43:28 <Ballig> (using the demonite sword)
21:45:02 <Avatar> mine went out of style pretty quick
21:45:09 <Avatar> the shadow axe is better I think
21:45:18 <Avatar> well out of style is the wrong term
21:45:23 <Avatar> lightsabers don't go out of style
21:45:39 <Ballig> ha
21:45:43 <Ballig> what weapon does Avatar use
21:45:51 <Ballig> I think sabre uses a fiery sword
21:45:52 <Avatar> molten axe
21:46:00 <Avatar> sabe is way ahead of me
21:46:20 <Avatar> I spent one night on the 7778 server and he levelled ahead a whole order of magnitude
21:46:29 <Ballig> ha
21:46:36 <Ballig> maybe that was his plan
21:46:42 <Ballig> "oh, this server is all mined out, I'll make a new one"
21:46:49 <Ballig> and then he keeps playing on the first one :p
21:46:53 <Avatar> yeah haha
21:46:58 <Avatar> he made the new one for the newbies
21:47:05 <Avatar> it was fine for him to keep playing there
21:47:24 <Avatar> we were getting a lot of newbies who were getting too much stuff handed to them
21:48:39 <Ballig> molten hamaxe does 20 damage with slow speed
21:48:43 <Ballig> phaseblade does 21 damage with average speed
21:48:46 <Ballig> so why are you using a molten hamaxe?
21:49:09 <Avatar> maybe that isn't my primary weapon
21:49:16 <Avatar> flamarang?
21:51:13 <Ballig> ahh
21:51:18 <Ballig> I haven't found an enchanted boomerang yet
21:51:22 <Ballig> I just made a green phasesaber t hough
21:51:30 <Ballig> although it's a slower speed than my demonite sword, I think it has a longer reach
21:52:48 <Ballig> plus I feel more like a badass using it
22:00:25 <Avatar> yeah
22:00:34 <Avatar> that's a good reason to make one, if for no other reason
22:00:44 <Avatar> sabe made a yellow one, mine is red
22:00:57 <Ballig> I was going to see if I can solo eye of cthulhu but I can only summon it at night and I'm going to bed instead
22:00:58 <Ballig> tata
22:00:58 <Avatar> I had initially planned on making more
22:01:03 <Avatar> but it doesn't seem quite right to do so
22:01:07 <Ballig> ha
22:01:13 <Ballig> bit of a waste of meteorite :p
22:01:21 <Avatar> well you can't have more than one lightsaber
22:01:34 <Avatar> I mean cmon
22:02:13 <Ballig> you can if you dual wield them
22:06:49 <Avatar> you can't dual wield though
22:06:52 <Avatar> so that is a moot point
22:06:57 <Avatar> it would work if you could, but you can't
