08:39:07 <MekkisScreen> hey Brunius
08:50:58 <Brunius> Hey MekkisScreen
09:08:13 <Brunius> Would you rather I just gave you what I owe you at Arcanacon?
09:38:09 <Avatar> I'd rather you just did that
09:43:32 Brunius has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
10:17:21 <Avatar> found a part time job that was paying me the same as my old full time job
10:18:43 <MekkisScreen> that's good, I guess
10:19:02 <Avatar> it's just laughable
10:21:30 <MekkisScreen> have you applied?
10:22:25 <Avatar> I will be
10:37:48 <MekkisScreen> have you make your unemployment official?
10:39:03 <Avatar> no
10:41:34 <Avatar> shadow_mask has confirmed saturday evening
10:54:59 Tashes ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
10:55:31 <BossMan> hello
11:00:49 <Avatar> BossMan
11:00:57 <BossMan> yes
11:01:02 <Avatar> hello
11:01:07 <BossMan> hello :)
11:01:11 <Avatar> roll up a character !!
11:06:53 <MekkisScreen> great
11:07:00 <MekkisScreen> !!
11:20:46 <Avatar> http://imgur.com/gallery/D2Odz
12:16:14 <MekkisScreen> I think that's rather distasteful
13:01:56 <MekkisScreen> Any plans for weekday games?
13:02:06 <MekkisScreen> or weeknight games
13:03:37 <Avatar> if there's players
13:24:20 <Mekkis> I think it'd be an interesting idea to go in one of the 3.5e events in Arcanacon
13:25:00 <Mekkis> would you be interested, Avatar?
15:10:26 Tashes has quit (EOF from client)
15:55:13 <Avatar> no not at all
15:55:17 <Avatar> is that a joke
16:01:02 <BossMan> I presume Arcanacon is something down there
16:01:25 <MekkisScreen> no, Avatar, it isn't
16:01:38 <MekkisScreen> Arcanacon is a con in Melbourne
16:02:50 <BossMan> sounds fun
16:03:26 <Avatar> what about PFS
16:26:27 <BossMan> what about PFS?
16:31:26 <Avatar> I need my exp
16:43:43 <MekkisScreen> man, you're such a junkie :)
16:48:35 Brunius ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
16:49:04 <MekkisScreen> brunius, would you be up for a weekday evening game?
17:16:58 <Brunius> Nope
17:39:36 <Ballig> Brunius doesn't like playing anymore
17:42:01 <Avatar> can't work out why
17:42:04 <Avatar> think of all the sweet expppp
17:46:53 <Brunius> Jesus man
17:46:58 <Brunius> You complain when I say I can't play
17:47:06 <Brunius> You complain when people commit then don't show up
17:47:13 <Brunius> Which would you rather?
17:47:19 <Avatar> commit and show up
17:47:33 <Brunius> Not an option
17:47:42 <Avatar> so when you say you can't play
17:47:48 <Avatar> does that mean sometimes you'll find out you can
17:47:57 <Brunius> It does
17:48:00 <Avatar> ohhh
17:59:31 <Brunius> Arcanacon or Reign of Foam
17:59:47 <Mekkis> the answer is obvious: arcanacon
18:00:02 <Brunius> I think it is....
18:00:06 <Brunius> Considering RoF is in WA :S
18:09:23 <Mekkis> this time play in more than one session
18:09:37 <Brunius> Mmmmm
18:09:39 <Brunius> I should
18:09:44 <Mekkis> yeah
18:09:48 <Mekkis> you should play in all eight
18:09:59 <Brunius> Not sure if I'll have the cash
18:10:24 <Brunius> 8x6 + 6?
18:10:39 <Brunius> The sessions aren't up on the site yet
18:11:05 <Mekkis> Brunius, a bit less
18:11:14 <Mekkis> it's called the "get wrecked" deal :P
18:11:18 <Brunius> Ha
18:11:25 <Mekkis> The cost for Arcanacon is capped at $60 - a Get Wrecked entry. Even if you play more than 9 sessions over the Convention, you will only pay that $60!
18:11:46 <Brunius> So if I play in more than 9/8 sessions, I only pay $60?
18:11:48 <Brunius> Schweet
18:11:55 <Mekkis> yeah
18:18:13 <Mekkis> http://www.clashofarms.com/Persian%20Incursion.html
18:18:14 <Mekkis> I want
18:19:11 <Brunius> ...
18:22:19 <Brunius> Oh, all 8 sessions of PFS, Mekkis?
18:22:24 <Mekkis> yeah
18:22:26 <Brunius> Makes more sense now
18:22:46 <Mekkis> (each PFS session is "two sessions"
18:22:56 <Brunius> Yeah
18:24:19 <Mekkis> and I want that boardgame
18:35:40 <Avatar> how many days is it
18:37:17 <Brunius> 4
18:38:39 <Avatar> I surprised myself with being able to handle two days at unicon
18:50:19 Tashes ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
18:51:11 <Tashes> ohay
18:51:16 <Brunius> Sup Tashes
18:51:18 <Avatar> oyou
18:51:26 <Tashes> wonderin' if theres space in pfs?
18:51:30 <Avatar> duh
18:51:37 <Brunius> There is always space in PFS
18:51:53 <Avatar> what's going on
18:52:17 <Tashes> my raid group on saturday is Really. Slow.
18:52:26 <Avatar> forget wow
18:52:29 <Brunius> Ha
18:52:32 <Tashes> i dont play wow.
18:52:37 <Avatar> whar raid group
18:52:42 <Tashes> Rift :p
18:52:46 <Avatar> forget rift
18:53:08 <Tashes> well, it's supposed to start at noon, but probably wont be organised until 1. I figure that's plenty of time for pfs
18:53:28 <Avatar> where do you live again
18:53:33 <Tashes> adelame
18:53:45 <Avatar> pushing it
18:53:52 <Avatar> do you mind if we look after your character if you have to leave early
18:53:56 <Tashes> which means 10am start is half an hour too early :p
18:54:08 <Tashes> yeah i dont mind. And i wouldnt really be leaving, i'd just be jumping in vent
18:55:21 <Avatar> that's alright then
19:07:41 Brunius has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
19:14:43 <Mekkis> I don't mind starting 30 minutes later :S

20:15:03 Arcturus ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
20:15:23 <Arcturus> Made it, hey everyone
20:17:08 <Avatar> you look familiar
20:19:10 <Arcturus> It's my first time around here
20:19:37 <Arcturus> Also a newbie to the game
20:20:03 <Arcturus> Hoping to change all that ;)
20:20:43 <Avatar> good show
20:20:46 <Avatar> roll up a character !!
20:21:45 <Arcturus> Was looking into it actually, reading on some of the guides you have up
20:22:26 <Arcturus> Altough i must say, i really have no experience whatsoever (even the dices are confusing me)
20:23:14 <Avatar> no problem, you will pick it up real quick
20:23:22 <Avatar> 1d20 is one 20-sided dice
20:23:31 <Avatar> 2d20 is two 20-sided dice
20:23:34 <Avatar> etc
20:24:46 <Arcturus> By the way, i need to have an account set up in order to upload my character sheet right?
20:25:05 <Arcturus> However i do not see any option to register on the website
20:25:12 <BossMan> hey alright you got a player :)
20:39:02 <Mekkis> Arcturus, you ask in the channel, and Avatar or Ballig will make one for you
20:41:55 <Arcturus> On this channel here right?
20:42:39 <Mekkis> yes
20:43:45 <Avatar> sec
20:43:51 <Avatar> we'll also need your character name
20:43:53 <Avatar> just a first name
20:44:00 <Arcturus> Elbereth
20:44:17 <Mekkis> you play Nethack?
20:44:34 <Arcturus> no
20:45:23 <Arcturus> never heard of it actually
20:45:38 <Arcturus> reading about it now
20:47:04 <Arcturus> Mekkis looks interesting, but isn't it a solo mode game only?
20:47:10 <Mekkis> it is
20:47:10 <Avatar> yeah it is
20:47:19 <Avatar> it's the kind of game you'd play if you're experienced
20:47:20 <Mekkis> just the name Elbereth is used a lot in it
20:48:40 <Mekkis> (engrave it on the ground, to prevent monsters from attacking you)
20:49:10 <Mekkis> Sphinx of black quartz judge my vow
20:49:44 <Arcturus> The game seems fun, but it doesn't look like it's a simple task
20:49:54 <Arcturus> How hard is it by your experience with it?
20:50:10 <Mekkis> Arcturus, what's the hardest computer game you've played?
20:50:22 <Mekkis> single-player
20:51:18 <Arcturus> man you put me on the spot like that and first thing that comes to mind is the 1st doom
20:51:26 <Arcturus> but i can't tell for sure
20:51:32 <Mekkis> well...
20:51:41 <Mekkis> it took me about 4 months to finish it
20:52:06 <Mekkis> that was about three years ago. I consider myself pretty good at it
20:52:16 <Mekkis> I can win about 10% of the time
20:52:28 <Arcturus> haha
20:53:10 <BossMan> yea nethack is pretty damn complex
20:53:24 <Arcturus> than i'm sure you're familiar with dwarf fortress
20:53:47 * BossMan knows what it is..doesn't play it
20:54:39 <Arcturus> It's fun to mess around with it, but nethack seems to be more of a challenge
20:55:28 <BossMan> never really got into the nethack too much. I did more text adventures and stuff like that.. infocom games, sierra games etc
20:57:27 <BossMan> games like Zork, Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, the Kings Quest series
21:02:32 <Arcturus> Avatar any news about that account? I have to go in awhile (time to cook lunch)
21:06:37 <Avatar> yeah, read your pm
21:06:49 <Avatar> sent it to you 20 minutes ago
21:07:33 <Arcturus> oh thanks, sorry didn't even noticed that
21:07:41 <Avatar> good 1
21:09:48 <Mekkis> Avatar, Tashes could play a 4th level pregen :S
21:14:26 <Avatar> is that legal
21:22:12 <Mekkis> sure
21:22:18 <Mekkis> for a new character
21:22:26 <Mekkis> I think
21:24:23 <Avatar> then why did we start at level 1
21:25:25 <BossMan> well you make exceptions..bringing in another character right
21:25:56 <Avatar> it's organised play, I thought it wasn't legal
21:27:04 <Mekkis> because the credit still goes towards your first level character
21:27:12 <Mekkis> it's a loophole to get people started
21:27:38 <Mekkis> if you don't mind playing pregens, you can play level 7 pregens to your heart's content
21:27:38 <Avatar> where's that rule
21:27:46 <Mekkis> not sure where it is
21:27:55 <Mekkis> White told me
21:28:08 <Mekkis> I just realised how rusty I am at FPSes
21:29:14 <Avatar> but you only get credit on 1st level chars?
21:29:18 <Mekkis> yes
21:29:25 <Mekkis> and only on NEW characters
21:29:35 <Mekkis> as in, you can do it. Once
21:29:49 <Avatar> seems a bit pointless
21:30:00 <Avatar> works once, and then you're screwed in game #2
21:36:30 <Mekkis> not really
21:36:36 <Mekkis> you just create a character
21:36:41 <Mekkis> any character
21:36:45 <Mekkis> and it has 1XP
21:36:58 <Avatar> right
21:37:00 <Avatar> and then what
21:40:02 <Arcturus> I'm off to the kitchen, i'll see you all later
21:40:11 <Avatar> are you a chef
21:40:34 <Arcturus> No, just need to make lunch before my brother gets home from school
21:40:37 <Arcturus> ;)
21:41:40 <Arcturus> http://dnd.ballig.net/viewchar.php5?char=323
21:41:48 <Arcturus> there you go
21:42:19 <Arcturus> i'll be back in 2 hours +/-
21:45:02 <Avatar> geez you're doing pretty alright for someone who couldn't read dice

22:18:14 <BossMan> don't mind him he's a tard
22:18:16 <BossMan> lol
22:19:47 <Avatar> you don't have to tell me man
22:19:57 <Avatar> he does a good enough job of showing that himself
22:20:28 <Mekkis> heh
22:23:50 <Mekkis> what do you think about the reaction a bystander would have if someone cast a spell in front of them
22:24:17 <BossMan> shit brb lemme restart this..linux is updated shit
22:25:04 BossMan has quit (Connection closed)
22:26:34 BossMan ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
22:29:13 <BossMan> yes Mekkis Xchat on FC 15
22:29:27 <Mekkis> when did you start using linux?
22:29:41 <BossMan> when I had two windows crashes inside of 6 months
22:29:49 <BossMan> that's when I said fuck this
22:29:50 <Mekkis> that would do it
22:30:08 <BossMan> I put this on.. I'm reading books.. etc
22:30:14 <BossMan> I'm not fuckin with shit I don't know anything about
22:30:25 <BossMan> I'm to the point where terminal doesn't intimidate me
22:30:42 <Mekkis> congrats
22:30:52 <Mekkis> what window manager do you use? Gnome?
22:31:14 <BossMan> you won't like it
22:31:28 <Mekkis> what do you mean?
22:31:41 <BossMan> KDE
22:31:51 <BossMan> I've heard the "EWWWWs" already ty :)
22:31:52 * Mekkis uses KDE
22:32:08 <BossMan> well this Linux trip was a long one
22:32:14 <BossMan> I started with Mandriva 2010
22:32:48 <Mekkis> I'm actually one of those people who staunchly sticks with KDE 3.5... but I run quite a few KDE4 apps in it
22:32:59 <BossMan> it was easy setup..but not knowing much about linux..and how to use RPMs and such I was limited to older stuff
22:33:04 <BossMan> Firefox like..3.5 or some shit
22:33:29 <Mekkis> it took me quite a while to learn how to properly use packages
22:33:40 <BossMan> I played around with it..got comfortable with commands and stuff to the point that I felt I could do basic navigation without fucking things up
22:33:44 <Mekkis> there was a period where I gave up and compiled everything from source
22:33:55 <BossMan> I then installed PCLinuxOS and I really liked it
22:34:09 <Mekkis> do you dual-boot?
22:34:29 <BossMan> but apparently it has issue with the new KDEs or something..that damn KDE crash handler bug notice was coming up and it never listed anything at all..did some looking it was issues with the newest KDE
22:34:49 <BossMan> no what little I need windows for I use wine and a very basic virtualbox WinXP
22:36:10 <BossMan> then after I played with PCLinuxOS.. I looked at Unity Linux..and Mageia..and Kubuntu..and Sabayon..
22:36:20 <BossMan> and finally when I felt comfortable I installed FC 15
22:36:25 <Mekkis> did you try suse?
22:36:44 <BossMan> the green lizard one?
22:36:47 <BossMan> right?
22:36:51 <Mekkis> ja
22:36:53 * BossMan nods
22:37:10 <BossMan> if PCLinuxOS didn't have issues with stuff I'd probably still run it.. I really liked it
22:37:16 <BossMan> but I'm very happy with Fedora
22:38:11 <Mekkis> did you ever try wine?
22:38:28 <BossMan> yeah I run a dice roller bot on mirc via wine
22:38:44 <BossMan> I run CA on wine
22:38:46 <Mekkis> that's.... interesting
22:39:28 <Mekkis> diebot's written in Ruby
22:39:46 <BossMan> I'm still using the old one I showed you way back
22:39:51 <Mekkis> ah
22:40:09 <BossMan> it works... I'm comfortable with it
22:40:46 <BossMan> I'm now getting use to different stuff
22:40:48 <BossMan> GIMP vs my PSP
22:40:57 <BossMan> Libre Office vs MS Office
22:41:10 <Mekkis> my work's moved to libre
22:41:30 <BossMan> moving to linux I discovered it wasn't Windows so much I liked but the applications
22:41:38 <Mekkis> what do you use for PDFs?
22:41:51 <BossMan> for reading I use Adobe Reader
22:42:06 <BossMan> for editing I use LibreOffice's draw (that is if the PDF will load well)
22:42:21 <BossMan> if it won't.. I fire up my Virtual XP and use Acrobat Pro
22:42:42 <BossMan> Acrobat Pro.. don't like wine at ALL
22:47:31 <BossMan> but overall I like this linux
22:47:51 <BossMan> I really don't do that intense kind of gaming..so lack of DirectX isn't a problem to me
23:22:05 <Mekkis> hmm...

Golarion's moon is more or less the same size as our moon, but it's a pretty different place than our moon in that it has a breathable atmosphere...
