26:45 <Mekkis> When describing numbers, it is possible to use words instead of numerals; e.g.
26:45 <Mekkis> one hundred seven thousand nine hundred and eighty six (107,986). This
26:45 <Mekkis> number is named in 15 syllables (count 'em). Consider:
26:45 <Mekkis> "The least number not describable in fewer than nineteen syllables." 
27:02 <Mekkis> It is equally clear that such a number ought to exist. 
38:53 Sachiru has quit (Quit: Shutting Down )
42:54 <Steven> imma go play diablo 3
43:56 <Brunius> Have the funs
44:24 <Steven> oh i will
24:03 <Brunius> Hmm
24:14 <Brunius> I should put a Windows 98 partition on this hard drive!
28:00 <Mekkis> I should put a sledgehammer on this hard drive
28:09 <Brunius> Aww man, I can't get it for microsoft for free!
19:36 <Avatar> oops, I forgot to put down a tier
19:56 <Avatar> wonders in the weave is 5-9
19:59 <Avatar> it's in the topic
33:00 <Brunius> !rng blackhawk littlebird
33:01 <diebot> Brunius, littlebird
33:56 <Avatar> what's that!
34:13 <Brunius> Choosing the transport helicopter for the arma 2 mission I'm making
34:46 <Brunius> I suppose I should allow a huey too
36:32 <Avatar> should play some day z
36:38 <Avatar> did I tell you about how I have your maps
37:58 <Brunius> Yeah
38:02 <Brunius> maps?
38:04 <Brunius> as in plural?
38:15 <Avatar> I think so, I haven't unrolled it
38:30 <Avatar> do you want me to check
38:37 <Brunius> Doesn't really matter
38:44 <Avatar> good because I didn't really want to get up
38:45 <Brunius> You should totally play this mission
38:48 <Brunius> It's bitchin'
38:55 <Avatar> I am game to play day z, not arma 2
38:55 <Brunius> You fly a helicopter in and then got shot at
39:04 <Avatar> you can do that in bf3
39:13 <Brunius> Yeah but bf3 isn't arma 2
39:21 <Avatar> that's a plus
39:24 <Avatar> did you end up getting bf3
39:28 <Avatar> or am I dangling a carrot in your face
39:33 <Brunius> I haven't got BF3
39:36 <Avatar> sorry :P
39:43 <Brunius> I'm below the minimum remember
39:48 <Avatar> yeah oops
39:52 <Avatar> are you getting a new machine
39:59 <Brunius> Potentially
40:10 <Brunius> I should have a bit of money soon, so I'll see what I can upgrade
40:19 <Avatar> you don't even need a lot of money for a good machine these days
40:40 <Brunius> Good, because I don't have a lot of money
40:45 <Brunius> A quad core CPU is about $150
40:52 <Brunius> plus mobo, $90 or so
40:58 <Brunius> Take it from there I guess
41:46 <Avatar> well I was thinking more in the $800 range for the lot
41:57 <Avatar> better than $1500ish
50:46 <Steven> yeah you can build a really good machine for around 1k
51:34 <Avatar> my budget whenever I build a new machine is about 1k
52:18 <Avatar> steven: have you played wonders in the weave 1?
53:20 <Steven> yeah
53:31 <Steven> and ive GMed boyh weave 1 and 2
54:58 <Avatar> how come you didn't play them in sequence
55:07 <Avatar> or was it the last one you played
56:26 <Steven> because i was very sick when they played number 2
56:29 <Steven> so i stayed home.
56:46 <Avatar> sux
57:02 <MekkisScreen> and eight core CPU is around $200
57:34 <Brunius> 189 for PCCG for an AMD 8 core
58:07 <MekkisScreen> get a thinkpad
58:20 <MekkisScreen> oh.. you're gaming
58:24 <MekkisScreen> scratch that
00:14 <Steven> never really care too much for boons, ive yet to find provided by a scenario thats one i could use.
00:23 <Brunius> ^
01:40 <MekkisScreen> then I played one scenario where I used about 4 boons simultaneously
02:04 <MekkisScreen> to jump my diplomacy from +4 to +11
02:05 <Avatar> yeah I can't say I've ever used a boon
02:13 <Avatar> except the ruby phoenix tournament one, which is fucking amazing
03:05 <Steven> ausk has like 12 boons sitting around doing nothing
03:20 <MekkisScreen> there's one that gives you an automatic success on any charisma-based skill
03:25 <MekkisScreen> that one's fun
03:44 <MekkisScreen> I used the Prince of Wolves boon in Midnight Mauler
04:04 <MekkisScreen> Avatar, you've used a race boon, iirc
04:22 <Avatar> yeah the aasimar one
04:25 <Avatar> does that count
04:31 <Avatar> not anymore :P

05:44 <MekkisScreen> it does
05:48 <Brunius> Wow?
07:21 <Steven> had a guy use the auto succeed on cha, but he never got to finish using the diplo
09:34 <MekkisScreen> I'm hoping someone will use it today
09:58 <MekkisScreen> Pallid Plague, right?
11:59 <Avatar> I put on my sheets what boons each character has, but it somehow still doesn't seem to help
12:05 <Avatar> the boons just aren't useful enough
12:12 <Avatar> except for ruby phoenix
12:37 <Avatar> actually we be gobilns isn't bad either
13:06 <MekkisScreen> Bairaq is one year older
13:12 <MekkisScreen> and bought a headband
13:17 <Brunius> How dare he be one year older
13:31 <MekkisScreen> everyone knows how lovely you look with a headband
22:02 <Mekkis> :)
23:28 <MekkisScreen> yeah
23:41 <MekkisScreen> you can carry fireworks without bringing the apg
24:13 <chiKung> dddddddddddddddddddddddddd n dddddddddddddddddd
24:26 <chiKung> yo balrog, sup?
24:33 <chiKung> im zangief
24:39 <chiKung> hadoukennnnnnnnnnnnnn
25:18 <Steven> friend of yours avatar?
25:34 <Avatar> nop
26:15 <Mekkis> I finally am getting a miniature for Perfection
27:04 <Avatar> where from
27:13 <Avatar> you don't paint yours do you
28:25 <Steven> im finally going to buy a bunch of minis
28:37 <Avatar> don't you run heaps of in person games
28:39 <Avatar> what have you been using
29:48 <Mekkis> I actually commissioned it
30:26 <Mekkis> and I haven't actually played Itzamna since Unicon, so I haven't really played him much: We're currently going through a bunch of low-level scenarios
31:40 <Mekkis> and I do try and paint miniatures
31:48 <Mekkis> at least I'm trying to get into painting miniatures
32:08 <fuedR> yeah its a bit of a pain lol
32:50 <Steven> the store has a decent amount of minis in the communal pile
33:28 <Avatar> what do you mean you commissioned it
33:31 <Avatar> how do I get one
33:36 <Avatar> a painted one
34:18 <Mekkis> one of my friends does commissions. I described what I wanted, and he sculpted and painted it
34:33 <fuedR> ive gotten 3d models printed before
35:59 <Avatar> yo
38:04 <Mekkis> I've done that too
43:28 <fuedR> still gotta paint them tho, havent been able to find anywhere which prints in colour
56:53 <Brunius> Avatar: Can you run wonders in the weave 2 soon
59:04 <fuedR> why are all the character creation tools so mediocre for pathfinder? i might have to put one together
59:13 <Avatar> I'll do it next weekend
59:27 <Avatar> can't do it this sunday
00:45 <Brunius> Mekkis: Is a pearl of power worth it?
01:32 <Avatar> for what class
01:39 <Brunius> Paladin
01:57 <Avatar> probably near-vital isn't it
02:04 <Avatar> lots of good spells, hardly any spell slots
02:18 <Avatar> don't underestimate how tough season 4 is
02:25 <Brunius> I've played season 4 man
02:29 <Avatar> then you know
02:31 <Brunius> Was quite nice
02:42 <Brunius> Didn't just stab them and they died like before
02:47 <Brunius> it's stab stab stab die instead
02:54 <Avatar> much more fun
03:15 <Avatar> I can't tell you how irritating it is as a GM when you finally land a hit on a PC and do like 4 damage a round
03:32 * Brunius slaps his tin can
03:46 <Avatar> I reckon that's what makes GMs want to destroy their players
04:08 <Steven> i usually ramp up the difficulty the more cheese a group has
04:13 <Avatar> how
04:18 <Avatar> in PFS you can't really
04:20 <Steven> by not being nice
04:26 <Avatar> I don't be nice
04:33 <Avatar> doesn't change your dice rolls
04:43 <Avatar> I don't fudge dice to hit when it should miss
05:36 <Steven> you mean like hero labs?
05:46 <Steven> ive had a couple of players builds where the monk has an AC of 35 or so at around level 5 after fully buffing themselves
05:48 <fuedR> yeah
06:06 <Steven> and does the crane style
06:19 <Steven> so the boss is like miss miss miss miss one hit, oh its deflected.
06:27 <Avatar> hahaha
07:07 <Avatar> that's a bit like mekkis' character who flies with a lance and spirited charge
07:16 <Brunius> Grolschmir
07:20 <Avatar> yes that's the one
07:44 <Steven> yeah we had a person do that, they made it to level 6 and then bobby mutilated their corpse and made it unable to be recovered.
07:59 <Brunius> Sounds like bobby
08:03 <Steven> yup
08:05 <Avatar> you have to tell me about that one
08:14 <Avatar> in pm I don't want mekkis to know
08:23 <Avatar> then I will GM for him
08:24 <Steven> oh.... gotcha....
08:25 <Ballig> pm it to me too
08:39 <Brunius> pm it to me too
08:48 <Avatar> me first
09:02 <Ballig> then me second
09:08 <Brunius> them me fourth
09:19 <Ballig> do Avatar third
09:20 <Ballig> as well as first
10:36 <Avatar> once is enough 
10:42 <Brunius> he is just joking
10:46 <Brunius> he really wants it thrice
12:05 <Brunius> Avatar: When you sent foxit to me the other day
12:17 <Brunius> Did it really just have an exe in the rar file?
12:26 <Avatar> yep
12:34 <Avatar> it was probably just rar'd like that because there was no other way to send an exe
12:35 <Brunius> What, one type of compression wasn't enough?
12:41 <Avatar> it's just an installer 
12:56 <Avatar> messengers complain a lot when you try and send exe's
12:59 <Avatar> they don't complain about rar's
13:39 <Steven> there avatar knows
13:54 <Avatar> yeah it is top notch advice
13:57 <Avatar> bobby is my new hero
19:00 <Mekkis> Brunius, passworded 7z file works
34:10 <Steven> i just like building my own
44:54 <Avatar> it's because there's so many options isn't it
59:39 <MekkisScreen> why do people want to kill poor Grolschmir so much?
06:33 <Brunius> Because they see him as overpowered
07:55 <MekkisScreen> I'll know if Avatar's going to try and kill Grolschmir
08:15 <MekkisScreen> (He's already stated that he won't DM for Grolschmir)
09:18 <Brunius> How is he going to kill him if he won't DM for him
09:27 <MekkisScreen> exactly
12:45 <fued> lots and lots of underground cave dungeons? lol
13:02 <Brunius> Accidental fireballs?
16:28 <fued> monsters which really love grease spells
22:39 <MekkisScreen> so Brunius: when is Bairaq getting his wand of Holy Sword?
22:49 <Brunius> Probably when he can afford it
22:53 <Brunius> How much is it, anyway?
22:57 <MekkisScreen> start saving
22:58 <MekkisScreen> :)
40:03 <Avatar> I might write a letter to my local state or federal member about abolishing daylight savings once and for all
00:26 <Hydrazine> Why are you against it?
02:42 <Ballig> it doesn't save any daylight, it simply redistributes it
02:45 <Ballig> from the morning to the evening
03:38 <Wrothmonk> It temporarily changes the time one hour forward withought changing anything physical.
03:49 <Wrothmonk> So useless in my opinion.
05:20 <fuedR> is there a place to find which rulebooks/items are allowed in pfs?
06:52 <Ziria> http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/about/additionalResources
08:04 <Hydrazine> Well, consider that its coming from a time when most people's workdays were affected by the presence of the sun. Particularly when electric lighting was much less common.
08:41 <Hydrazine> There was a good reason for daylight savings time in the past. I'm not sure if there still is.
08:42 <Ballig> that's not a lot of excuse for us these days
09:05 <Ballig> my workmates tell me they like it because they can be outside longer after work
09:14 <Ballig> I then ask what they did after work and they tell me they cleaned the house and watched TV
09:20 <Wrothmonk> ...
09:21 <Wrothmonk> lol
12:34 <Hydrazine> Whats really awkward is how we deal with changing time zones on a submarine.
14:39 <Avatar> I wake up better to sunlight than I do to darkness
14:56 <Avatar> if it's still dark when I'm meant to get up, I'm more likely to sleep through my alarm and be late for work 
16:16 <Wrothmonk> I know the feeling
16:16 <Hydrazine> you should make your own alarm clock featuring a high powered spotlight aimed at your face.
16:32 Avatar has changed the topic to: PFS: Sat 27th 10am (first steps 2 cont'd,kapow) | Sat 27th 3pm (tier 1-5,Ballig) | Sat 3rd 10.30am (tier 5-9,Avatar) || All topic times are AEDT (UTC+11:00); set up your timezone on the site for local times! | D&D and Pathfinder Online http://www.pfrpg.com.au 
16:32 <Wrothmonk> ^ did that but turned it down to sunlight levels
16:52 <Hydrazine> Have it slowly ramp up the intensity over the 5 minutes preceding your alarm
17:04 <Avatar> that sounds like a lot of work
17:41 <Avatar> I wouldn't even need it aimed at my face, just to up the light in the room
18:01 <Ballig> I thought about doing that years ago
18:03 <Hydrazine> So you'd be happier if the sun came up at 4 in the morning?
18:09 <Ballig> because I'm the same - I need to be gradually woken up by sunlight
18:12 <Avatar> well at 6 in the morning
18:20 <Ballig> so I thought about a timer on a sunlamp
18:25 <Ballig> that slowly turns on over the period of an hour
18:31 <Hydrazine> Um. According to the internets, Avatar...
18:47 <Avatar> I mean really the govt is encouraging us to waste electricity !
18:53 <Hydrazine> At the peak of the curve in Greenwich, DST moves sunrise from a bit before 4AM to a little before 5AM.
18:55 <Avatar> and then they give us the carbon tax !
19:13 <Hydrazine> Which is around the middle of June.
19:35 <fuedR> would you be able to use the adopted trait, to earn the human ability score racial trait? seems a bit strong
19:43 <fuedR> thanks a lot for that btw :)
19:47 <Ballig> doesn't that change depending on the area of the globe you are
19:49 <Hydrazine> And its around 8 AM in January, which outside of DST effects.
19:56 <Hydrazine> Yes, Ballig.
20:04 <Ballig> because the sun definitely doesn't rise before 4am in Australia
20:06 <Ballig> or at 8am
20:29 <Hydrazine> And you can say this accurately across all of Australia?
20:37 <Ballig> I can say it accurately across the eastern seaboard
20:38 <Avatar> all I know is that it's still too dark at 7am and it's fine by 8am now
20:56 <Ballig> both in and outside of DST (I've lived in two states on the eastern seaboard, one has it and the other doesn't)
20:56 <Avatar> and pre DST, it was fine at 7am when I had to get up
21:00 <Wrothmonk> Looking at ranger archetypes in ultimate combat and I was wondering, it doesn't seem like the falconer archetype takes away any abilities and actually gives you a later one earlier.
21:15 <Brunius> No, you wouldn't
21:26 <Brunius> That's the ability modifier, not a racial trait
21:30 <Avatar> wrothmonk gets down to business, I love it
21:39 <fuedR> what about the bonus feat trait?
21:46 <Wrothmonk> ?
21:53 <Avatar> less DST, more pathfinder
21:58 <Wrothmonk> heh.
22:03 <Avatar> feathered companion takes away wild empathy
22:09 <Ballig> yeah what is this, #DST
22:10 <Ballig> gods
22:21 <Avatar> swoop for the kill takes away the second combat style feat at 6th level
22:42 <Wrothmonk> ah I see.
22:50 <Avatar> and doesn't get a new companion at 4th
22:56 <Hydrazine> Huh.
22:56 <Brunius> Probably
23:07 <Brunius> I don't have the APG so I can't check
23:17 <Hydrazine> The nets says the sun comes up at 4:58 in Brisbane later this week.
23:20 <Wrothmonk> Well I don't think I need a bird all the much. Just caught my eye.
23:28 <Ballig> Avatar: do you remember when Vince used to be in here and would get upset at any topic of conversation that wasn't D&D?
23:29 <Avatar> brisbane isn't under daylight savings
23:48 <Avatar> don't remember
23:56 <Avatar> is that why he's not here anymore
23:58 <Ballig> he would tell us to go to #worldofwarcraft or something
24:02 <Avatar> haha oh yeah !
24:03 <Ballig> if we were talking about WoW
24:16 <Hydrazine> My WoW dude could kick your WoW dude's ass.
24:30 <Avatar> I do remember that we would get addicted to some game and talk about it a lot
24:38 <Ballig> yeah
24:40 <fuedR> LOL then use that feat to get the "two new traits" feat
24:41 <Ballig> and he would get upset every time
24:45 <Ballig> and insist we go to some channel named after that game
24:56 <Avatar> didn't you make a channel
25:01 <Avatar> #omgwowfagz or something
25:07 <Wrothmonk> XD
25:07 <Ballig> that sounds about right
25:10 <Brunius> Wow, good job, you managed to gimmick an extra trait
25:11 <Avatar> or he recommended one
25:18 <Avatar> good times
25:20 <Ballig> I think he recommended #omgwowfagz so I made it
25:21 <Ballig> and invited him
25:28 <Avatar> haha 
25:44 <fuedR> yesss my life is complete!
26:13 <Avatar> or #wowfagzanon
26:31 <Ballig> yeah something like that
26:34 <Avatar> I can't find the log
26:59 <Avatar> #dstfagzanon
27:07 <Ballig> it was like 10 years ago
27:17 <Hydrazine> Now its more like #Vincefagz
27:20 <Avatar> yeah my hard drive crashed in 2000 and I lost all my logs around then
27:36 <Avatar> #vincefagzanon
32:47 <Brunius> http://imgur.com/a/BHCC7
45:25 <Avatar> the adopted trait refers to actual traits
45:33 <Avatar> not "racial traits" like the bonus feat
45:43 <Avatar> there are certain traits you can pick where you're required to be a certain race
45:53 <Avatar> so you could be human and take adopted and then pick an elven trait
46:03 Forevernade ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
46:38 ForevernadeAFK ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
46:55 <fuedR> cool thanks
47:35 <fuedR> wow magic items are a massive step up in cost arent they? lol
47:48 <Ballig> yeah
50:47 <fuedR> should you spend all your starting gold when creating a level 1 character?
51:18 <fuedR> or do you setup equipment at the start of a campaign?
52:10 Forevernade has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
52:22 <Ballig> you can save some for buying stuff at the start of a scenario if you want
54:28 <Avatar> every session starts out with you learning what the mission is, and then you get an opportunity to buy last minute stuff
55:58 <Wrothmonk> LOL
56:23 <Wrothmonk> bought a mithral chain shirt for rumil after getting chronicle sheet to make sure i had the gp.
56:30 <Wrothmonk> new gold total after buying: 1234 gp
58:04 <MekkisScreen> Brunius: have you written a letter to your local, state or federal member?
59:52 <fuedR> lol my character gets encumbered so easily...
00:16 <Avatar> what's your str
01:18 <fuedR> 8
01:48 <MekkisScreen> I think my next character in Slumbering Tsar shall be a gnomish sorcerer
03:22 <MekkisScreen> Brunius: do you like my concept for your 3.5e level 10 bash?
07:21 <fuedR> does ammunition for a small sized weapon also weigh 1/2 the amount like weapon?
09:29 <Wrothmonk> What tier is wonders in the weave?
16:18 <Avatar> yeah
16:22 <Avatar> does ammo have a weight
20:09 <fuedR> yeah 10 bullets is 5lbs... seems a bit excessive when i can only carry 30 lol
21:53 <Avatar> are you a weakling
21:58 <fuedR> yeah
23:19 <Avatar> makes sense to me
26:07 <Ziria> 5-9 if I remember correctly
39:05 <Steven> Firearm bullet (30)	1/2 lb.
42:01 <fuedR> Bullet(s), sling (10)	1 sp5 lbs.
43:15 <fuedR> hey guys ive updated my character to meet pfs rules, can anyone give it a look over and let me know if its ok? http://www.pfrpg.com.au/charsheet.php5?id=539
44:47 <Steven> 30 bullets weigh half a pound
47:11 <Avatar> yeah that sounds righter
27:01 <Mekkis> When describing numbers, it is possible to use words instead of numerals; e.g.

40:17 <Avatar> I might write a letter to my local state or federal member about abolishing daylight savings once and for all
47:11 Panda has quit (Quit: )
00:42 <Hydrazine> Why are you against it?
02:58 <Ballig> it doesn't save any daylight, it simply redistributes it
03:01 <Ballig> from the morning to the evening
03:54 <Wrothmonk> It temporarily changes the time one hour forward withought changing anything physical.
04:05 <Wrothmonk> So useless in my opinion.
08:20 <Hydrazine> Well, consider that its coming from a time when most people's workdays were affected by the presence of the sun. Particularly when electric lighting was much less common.
08:57 <Hydrazine> There was a good reason for daylight savings time in the past. I'm not sure if there still is.
08:58 <Ballig> that's not a lot of excuse for us these days
09:21 <Ballig> my workmates tell me they like it because they can be outside longer after work
09:30 <Ballig> I then ask what they did after work and they tell me they cleaned the house and watched TV
09:36 <Wrothmonk> ...
09:37 <Wrothmonk> lol
12:50 <Hydrazine> Whats really awkward is how we deal with changing time zones on a submarine.
14:55 <Avatar> I wake up better to sunlight than I do to darkness
15:12 <Avatar> if it's still dark when I'm meant to get up, I'm more likely to sleep through my alarm and be late for work 
16:32 <Wrothmonk> I know the feeling
16:32 <Hydrazine> you should make your own alarm clock featuring a high powered spotlight aimed at your face.
16:48 <Wrothmonk> ^ did that but turned it down to sunlight levels
17:08 <Hydrazine> Have it slowly ramp up the intensity over the 5 minutes preceding your alarm
17:20 <Avatar> that sounds like a lot of work
17:56 <Avatar> I wouldn't even need it aimed at my face, just to up the light in the room
18:17 <Ballig> I thought about doing that years ago
18:19 <Hydrazine> So you'd be happier if the sun came up at 4 in the morning?
18:25 <Ballig> because I'm the same - I need to be gradually woken up by sunlight
18:28 <Avatar> well at 6 in the morning
18:36 <Ballig> so I thought about a timer on a sunlamp
18:41 <Ballig> that slowly turns on over the period of an hour
18:47 <Hydrazine> Um. According to the internets, Avatar...
19:03 <Avatar> I mean really the govt is encouraging us to waste electricity !
19:09 <Hydrazine> At the peak of the curve in Greenwich, DST moves sunrise from a bit before 4AM to a little before 5AM.
19:11 <Avatar> and then they give us the carbon tax !
19:20 <Avatar> oops, I forgot to put down a tier
19:29 <Hydrazine> Which is around the middle of June.
19:40 <Avatar> wonders in the weave is 5-9
19:43 <Avatar> it's in the topic
20:03 <Ballig> doesn't that change depending on the area of the globe you are
20:05 <Hydrazine> And its around 8 AM in January, which outside of DST effects.
20:12 <Hydrazine> Yes, Ballig.
20:20 <Ballig> because the sun definitely doesn't rise before 4am in Australia
20:22 <Ballig> or at 8am
20:45 <Hydrazine> And you can say this accurately across all of Australia?
20:53 <Ballig> I can say it accurately across the eastern seaboard
20:54 <Avatar> all I know is that it's still too dark at 7am and it's fine by 8am now
21:12 <Ballig> both in and outside of DST (I've lived in two states on the eastern seaboard, one has it and the other doesn't)
21:12 <Avatar> and pre DST, it was fine at 7am when I had to get up
21:16 <Wrothmonk> Looking at ranger archetypes in ultimate combat and I was wondering, it doesn't seem like the falconer archetype takes away any abilities and actually gives you a later one earlier.
21:46 <Avatar> wrothmonk gets down to business, I love it
22:02 <Wrothmonk> ?
22:09 <Avatar> less DST, more pathfinder
22:14 <Wrothmonk> heh.
22:19 <Avatar> feathered companion takes away wild empathy
22:25 <Ballig> yeah what is this, #DST
22:26 <Ballig> gods
22:37 <Avatar> swoop for the kill takes away the second combat style feat at 6th level
22:58 <Wrothmonk> ah I see.
23:06 <Avatar> and doesn't get a new companion at 4th
23:12 <Hydrazine> Huh.
23:33 <Hydrazine> The nets says the sun comes up at 4:58 in Brisbane later this week.
23:36 <Wrothmonk> Well I don't think I need a bird all the much. Just caught my eye.
23:44 <Ballig> Avatar: do you remember when Vince used to be in here and would get upset at any topic of conversation that wasn't D&D?
23:45 <Avatar> brisbane isn't under daylight savings
24:04 <Avatar> don't remember
24:11 <Avatar> is that why he's not here anymore
24:13 <Ballig> he would tell us to go to #worldofwarcraft or something
24:18 <Avatar> haha oh yeah !
24:18 <Ballig> if we were talking about WoW
24:32 <Hydrazine> My WoW dude could kick your WoW dude's ass.
24:46 <Avatar> I do remember that we would get addicted to some game and talk about it a lot
24:53 <Ballig> yeah
24:57 <Ballig> and he would get upset every time
25:01 <Ballig> and insist we go to some channel named after that game
25:12 <Avatar> didn't you make a channel
25:17 <Avatar> #omgwowfagz or something
25:23 <Wrothmonk> XD
25:23 <Ballig> that sounds about right
25:26 <Avatar> or he recommended one
25:34 <Avatar> good times
25:36 <Ballig> I think he recommended #omgwowfagz so I made it
25:37 <Ballig> and invited him
25:44 <Avatar> haha 
26:29 <Avatar> or #wowfagzanon
26:47 <Ballig> yeah something like that
26:50 <Avatar> I can't find the log
27:15 <Avatar> #dstfagzanon
27:23 <Ballig> it was like 10 years ago
27:33 <Hydrazine> Now its more like #Vincefagz
27:36 <Avatar> yeah my hard drive crashed in 2000 and I lost all my logs around then
27:51 <Avatar> #vincefagzanon
32:44 <Brunius> !rng blackhawk littlebird
32:45 <diebot> Brunius, littlebird
33:40 <Avatar> what's that!
33:57 <Brunius> Choosing the transport helicopter for the arma 2 mission I'm making
34:30 <Brunius> I suppose I should allow a huey too
36:16 <Avatar> should play some day z
36:22 <Avatar> did I tell you about how I have your maps
37:42 <Brunius> Yeah
37:46 <Brunius> maps?
37:48 <Brunius> as in plural?
37:59 <Avatar> I think so, I haven't unrolled it
38:14 <Avatar> do you want me to check
38:21 <Brunius> Doesn't really matter
38:28 <Avatar> good because I didn't really want to get up
38:29 <Brunius> You should totally play this mission
38:32 <Brunius> It's bitchin'
38:39 <Avatar> I am game to play day z, not arma 2
38:39 <Brunius> You fly a helicopter in and then got shot at
38:48 <Avatar> you can do that in bf3
38:57 <Brunius> Yeah but bf3 isn't arma 2
39:05 <Avatar> that's a plus
39:08 <Avatar> did you end up getting bf3
39:12 <Avatar> or am I dangling a carrot in your face
39:17 <Brunius> I haven't got BF3
39:20 <Avatar> sorry :P
39:27 <Brunius> I'm below the minimum remember
39:32 <Avatar> yeah oops
39:36 <Avatar> are you getting a new machine
39:43 <Brunius> Potentially
39:54 <Brunius> I should have a bit of money soon, so I'll see what I can upgrade
40:03 <Avatar> you don't even need a lot of money for a good machine these days
40:24 <Brunius> Good, because I don't have a lot of money
40:29 <Brunius> A quad core CPU is about $150
40:36 <Brunius> plus mobo, $90 or so
40:42 <Brunius> Take it from there I guess
41:30 <Avatar> well I was thinking more in the $800 range for the lot
41:41 <Avatar> better than $1500ish
45:04 Ballig ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
45:44 dicebot ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
50:30 <Steven> yeah you can build a really good machine for around 1k
51:18 <Avatar> my budget whenever I build a new machine is about 1k
52:02 <Avatar> steven: have you played wonders in the weave 1?
53:04 <Steven> yeah
53:15 <Steven> and ive GMed boyh weave 1 and 2
54:42 <Avatar> how come you didn't play them in sequence
54:51 <Avatar> or was it the last one you played
56:10 <Steven> because i was very sick when they played number 2
56:13 <Steven> so i stayed home.
56:14 <Wrothmonk> LOL
56:30 <Avatar> sux
56:38 <Wrothmonk> bought a mithral chain shirt for rumil after getting chronicle sheet to make sure i had the gp.
56:46 <Wrothmonk> new gold total after buying: 1234 gp
56:46 <MekkisScreen> and eight core CPU is around $200
57:18 <Brunius> 189 for PCCG for an AMD 8 core
57:51 <MekkisScreen> get a thinkpad
58:04 <MekkisScreen> oh.. you're gaming
58:08 <MekkisScreen> scratch that
59:58 <Steven> never really care too much for boons, ive yet to find provided by a scenario thats one i could use.
00:07 <Brunius> ^
01:24 <MekkisScreen> then I played one scenario where I used about 4 boons simultaneously
01:48 <MekkisScreen> to jump my diplomacy from +4 to +11
01:49 <Avatar> yeah I can't say I've ever used a boon
01:57 <Avatar> except the ruby phoenix tournament one, which is fucking amazing
02:49 <Steven> ausk has like 12 boons sitting around doing nothing
03:04 <MekkisScreen> there's one that gives you an automatic success on any charisma-based skill
03:09 <MekkisScreen> that one's fun
03:28 <MekkisScreen> I used the Prince of Wolves boon in Midnight Mauler
03:48 <MekkisScreen> Avatar, you've used a race boon, iirc
04:06 <Avatar> yeah the aasimar one
04:09 <Avatar> does that count
04:15 <Avatar> not anymore :P
05:28 <MekkisScreen> it does
07:05 <Steven> had a guy use the auto succeed on cha, but he never got to finish using the diplo
09:18 <MekkisScreen> I'm hoping someone will use it today
09:42 <MekkisScreen> Pallid Plague, right?
09:44 <Wrothmonk> What tier is wonders in the weave?
11:43 <Avatar> I put on my sheets what boons each character has, but it somehow still doesn't seem to help
11:49 <Avatar> the boons just aren't useful enough
11:56 <Avatar> except for ruby phoenix
12:21 <Avatar> actually we be gobilns isn't bad either
23:12 <MekkisScreen> yeah
23:25 <MekkisScreen> you can carry fireworks without bringing the apg

39:44 <Mekkis> @Avatar
40:07 <kapow> probably asleep cosidering it's 12:40am for him
41:24 <kapow> The Chelish Embassy of Absalom recognizes you for your outstanding service to the Empire. You are
41:24 <kapow> given a boon that grants you one free use of the divination spell from a Cleric of Asmodeus. You can
41:24 <kapow> only use this boon in Egorian, Cheliax’s diabolical capital city.
41:24 <kapow> The Andoren Embassy of Absalom regards you as an upstanding free citizen of the Republic.
41:31 <kapow> ugh worst wall texting
41:44 <kapow> thats the thing you get from that campaign i was talking about mekk
41:47 <Mekkis> ah
42:12 <kapow> it's really handy for another scenario that takes place in cheliax
42:25 <kapow> can't remember which one for the life of me though
