29:20 <MekkisScreen> Avatar, go to Sydney for the con at end of Oct
29:32 <MekkisScreen> start of oct*
31:43 <Avatar> I can't go anywhere until I get some leave accruing
41:23 <MekkisScreen> pity
43:49 <Ballig> I could take almost 7 weeks off if I wanted to
43:56 <Avatar> I could quit if I wanted to
44:02 <Ballig> do you
53:28 TetsujinOni has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)

42:16 <Avatar> I knew that wasn't going to be any good before I opened it
42:37 <Brunius> No image I post is ever good.
42:42 <Avatar> yeah
48:09 <Brunius> Do it Mekkis
48:54 <Brunius> So it's looking like no unicon atm, because I'm feeling a) lazy and b) unmotivated
49:43 <Avatar> that was pretty funny
49:56 <Ballig> what was? the legendary weapon?
49:59 <Avatar> yeah
50:02 <Ballig> ha
50:09 <Avatar> that whole scenario really turned out a lot better than I thought it would
50:22 <Avatar> it's considered one of the worse ones in all of PFS but you guys played it well
50:31 <Avatar> especially the gunslinger
50:50 <Ballig> why is it one of the worst ones
51:04 <Avatar> it's mostly compared to the first two
51:10 <Avatar> which flow a lot better
51:16 <Avatar> get your netbank set up then
51:24 <Avatar> the third part makes more sense when viewed as its own scenario rather than part of a trilogy
51:43 <Ballig> I actually think none of the three really flow at all
52:04 <Avatar> I mean you don't even get to see the keep
52:32 <Avatar> I do wonder if playing it online actually enhanced the game
53:04 <Avatar> I made a point to play out the story so you guys could understand it as well as possible which I wouldn't usually do
59:42 <Brunius> What
59:51 <Brunius> Oh, I just got that cash transferred by the way
02:03 <Avatar> oh
02:04 <Avatar> how
02:14 <Brunius> Piggybacked on my mum's account
04:22 <Mekkis> http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120713182340/elderscrolls/images/c/c6/Take_3_example.jpeg
05:48 <Brunius> Huh
06:24 <Mekkis> I got paid today
12:27 <Mekkis> can dragons shit mid-flight?
18:14 <Avatar> dragons don't shit
18:18 <Avatar> they exist in fantasy land
18:23 <Avatar> I want to make a false character
18:25 <Avatar> nobody shits in fantasy land
18:32 <Avatar> food gets converted to energy
18:42 <Mekkis> [citation needed]
18:58 <Mekkis> did you read it in Ballig Magazine?
20:17 <Avatar> no that's how it is
20:22 <Avatar> what source do you need
20:27 <Avatar> that's how it is
20:50 <Avatar> does Ballig have a magazine that I don't know about
21:20 <Mekkis> you know about it!
21:48 <Mekkis> #d&d.20100703.log:[12:11:24 AM] <@Avatar> I read Ballig Magazine all the time, it is a wild treat
22:15 <Avatar> that was 2 years ago, I don't remember that
24:58 <Ballig> can you stop setting off my highlight for no reason
25:16 <Mekkis> it's your magazine!
25:22 <Ballig> right
26:24 <Mekkis> you brought it up
31:47 <Mekkis> Brunius, why don't you get a bank account that allows you to make internet payments?
32:33 <Brunius> I have to be over the age of 16
32:38 <Brunius> Some legal requirement
32:49 <Mekkis> which banks have you looked at?
36:53 <Mekkis> As far as I can tell, westpac allows it as long as you're over 12...
37:09 <Avatar> westpac is dodgy, so that might be true
37:26 <Mekkis> better than National
38:01 <Mekkis> (full disclosure: I don't have accounts with either of them. I would not get an account with National, unless something happened (like them giving me a job)
39:16 <Avatar> they wouldn't give me a job
39:37 <Avatar> got an interview or two
39:56 <Mekkis> I got a phone interview a couple of years ago
50:23 <wrothmonk> Whats a false character?
58:00 wrothmonk has quit (EOF from client)
01:47 <ducknuckem> Heyas.
01:58 <Mekkis> hey
02:06 <Mekkis> have you played Prince of Augustinia?
03:02 <ducknuckem> Nope.
13:35 <Avatar> good scenario
15:02 <ducknuckem> Was thinking of a campaign idea for some local lads.
15:33 <ducknuckem> Would the celestial forces destroy a world to prevent it's corruption if a prophecy told of it?
15:56 <Mekkis> probably not
16:13 <Mekkis> they would probably send some visions to some aspiring Heroes!
16:13 <ducknuckem> Damn.
16:45 <Mekkis> Die, bot
17:18 <ducknuckem> Just trying to think of a way to blur the morals and ethics.
17:35 <Mekkis> really?
17:47 <Mekkis> I thought that with most PCs, it's pretty blurred to start with
20:15 <ducknuckem> I wanted to do something from the perspective of neutral being the right guys, instead of good and evil.
20:47 <Mekkis> do you're trying to say that Good isn't good?
20:53 <Mekkis> that would work, I suppose
21:13 <Mekkis> just emphasise that the celestials have a better PR department than the infernals
21:15 <Mekkis> and take it from there
21:20 <ducknuckem> No good is good, but it doesn't make it right.
21:29 <ducknuckem> Just a matter of perspective.
21:29 <Mekkis> I suggest that you give druidism a go
21:35 <Mekkis> a voice
22:47 <Mekkis> what represents neutral?
22:58 <ducknuckem> The natural state of things.
23:06 <Mekkis> sorry...
23:33 <Mekkis> if angels, archons are the agents of good, and devils and demons are the agents of evil...
23:43 <Mekkis> what are the messengers and agents of neutral
23:50 <Mekkis> (I suggest you avoid elementals)
24:07 <Mekkis> (unless you can portray them in a nondestructive manner)
24:09 <ducknuckem> Druids, rangers ummm, I need to think.
24:17 <ducknuckem> Barbarians.
24:25 <ducknuckem> Wizards can be.
24:30 <ducknuckem> But they are more lawful.
24:30 <Mekkis> they're not exactly agents
24:35 <Mekkis> they're just classes
24:38 <Mekkis> humanoid
24:40 <Mekkis> fallable
25:11 <ducknuckem> Anything from the Outlands.
25:28 <Mekkis> but there's no real representation
26:07 <ducknuckem> No zealots either.
26:39 <ducknuckem> The only representation I can think of is the OverDeity.
31:12 <Mekkis> http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/2525499_700b.jpg
31:23 <ducknuckem> Can we play oneiromancers in your mobs campaigns?
31:26 <Mekkis> anything Avatar makes :P
33:30 <Mekkis> I don't understand
34:02 <ducknuckem> Do they still have oneiromancers?
34:27 <Mekkis> what's that?
34:47 <ducknuckem> Dream Wizard.  Great pacifist character.
39:31 <Mekkis> not exactly
45:49 <ducknuckem> Oh?
47:30 <Mekkis> there isn't the exact class
47:45 <Mekkis> but there are classes that can do that sort of thing
48:15 <ducknuckem> I'm thinking 3.5 anyway.
48:21 <ducknuckem> It's a feat build.
48:35 <ducknuckem> Heroes of Horror I think.

57:05 <MekkisScreen> i
57:21 <Steven> hey mek
57:32 <MekkisScreen> hey
57:38 <MekkisScreen> did the infernal vault
57:57 <MekkisScreen> should have played it at high tier
57:57 <Steven> have fun?
58:08 <MekkisScreen> yeah
58:12 <MekkisScreen> it was great
59:03 <Steven> you should play yourself 4-04
59:10 <Steven> it netted me my second player death
59:52 <Steven> its creepy as hell
00:05 <Steven> and the last fight is nasty as hell
00:51 <Steven> even though it says the boss isnt "optimized for combat" he still does a decent job
02:56 <MekkisScreen> I played a cleric
03:29 <MekkisScreen> and I beat someone unconscious with a flagpole
03:43 <Steven> i support this action!
05:08 <MekkisScreen> we managed to recruit 4 people to the society
05:16 <Steven> thats always good news
05:22 <Steven> more people means more money for piazo
05:33 <Steven> which means more content being produced
05:34 <MekkisScreen> I meant NPCs
05:45 <Steven> im less enthused
05:47 <Steven> lol
05:56 <MekkisScreen> we do now have a Venture Captain
06:33 <MekkisScreen> I've already started bribing him
06:40 <Steven> lol good man
07:32 <Steven> i let myself get bribed into giving a reroll on a skill check before i left.... pizza is good
07:41 <MekkisScreen> made him a cake last night
08:40 <MekkisScreen> so now I don't need to buy scenarios :S
08:47 <Steven> lol
08:51 <Steven> kick ass
10:26 <MekkisScreen> I don't want to tell mort about wheeling charge
10:37 <MekkisScreen> she'll pirate and cheese it
10:58 <N2H4> I already saw it.
11:27 <N2H4> But even without, it looks legal to maintain 2 squares of elevation and attack on the diagonals.
11:52 <MekkisScreen> RAW maybe
12:06 <MekkisScreen> I wouldn't rxpect it
12:12 <N2H4> I agree that its wicked cheesy, but in what way is it actually wrong?
12:40 <N2H4> And are you saying you didn't do this with Grolsch?
12:53 <MekkisScreen> I don't
13:49 <N2H4> So how did he engage mounted combat with grounded enemies?
15:29 <MekkisScreen> at 5' off
15:52 <N2H4> Ever get hit by a readied action?
15:53 <MekkisScreen> 10' horizontal
15:59 <MekkisScreen> yeah
16:04 <N2H4> Fair enough I'd say.
16:20 <MekkisScreen> never a brace, luckily
16:40 <N2H4> I think its technically legal to do it Mort's way, though I think its crossing some cheese lines.
20:54 <Steven> i think im going to make a straight cheese character
21:27 <Steven> i already have a semi cheese w/ the gunslinger/inquisitor im makin
21:46 <Steven> but i want mores cheese
23:42 <MekkisScreen> I'm trying some form of straight cleric
23:57 <Steven> what kind?
24:26 <MekkisScreen> erastil
24:41 <MekkisScreen> all about community
25:15 <MekkisScreen> flagbearing a Pathfinder Society Flag
27:07 <Steven> cool
29:38 <MekkisScreen> never going to take anything like selective channelling
31:10 <MekkisScreen> that's antisocial
31:31 <N2H4> A communist cleric?
31:41 <N2H4> Gonna carry a sickle and hammer?
31:48 <MekkisScreen> nah
32:16 <Steven> you should

08:55 <Steven> lol
08:59 <Steven> kick ass
10:34 <MekkisScreen> I don't want to tell mort about wheeling charge
10:45 <MekkisScreen> she'll pirate and cheese it
11:05 <N2H4> I already saw it.
11:35 <N2H4> But even without, it looks legal to maintain 2 squares of elevation and attack on the diagonals.
11:59 <MekkisScreen> RAW maybe
12:13 <MekkisScreen> I wouldn't rxpect it
12:20 <N2H4> I agree that its wicked cheesy, but in what way is it actually wrong?
12:48 <N2H4> And are you saying you didn't do this with Grolsch?
13:01 <MekkisScreen> I don't
13:57 <N2H4> So how did he engage mounted combat with grounded enemies?
15:37 <MekkisScreen> at 5' off
16:00 <N2H4> Ever get hit by a readied action?
16:01 <MekkisScreen> 10' horizontal
16:06 <MekkisScreen> yeah
16:12 <N2H4> Fair enough I'd say.
16:28 <MekkisScreen> never a brace, luckily
16:47 <N2H4> I think its technically legal to do it Mort's way, though I think its crossing some cheese lines.
