01:33:33 <***> Buffer Playback...
01:33:33 <***> Playback Complete.
01:33:56 <Mekkis> Brunius, I sort of agree with you there...
01:34:04 <Mekkis> $50 a day is a bit steep for PFS :S

06:10:29 <Mekkis> do you have a download limit?
06:10:57 <Steven> If i do ive yet to reach it
06:11:03 <Steven> its downloading now that im home again
06:11:06 <Mekkis> ah
06:11:12 <Steven> but holy shit man... 600mb
06:11:13 <Mekkis> I was getting 1MB/s
06:11:30 <Steven> im getting like .5-.8
06:11:33 <Mekkis> it's a JeOS, with the other packages installed
06:11:45 <Mekkis> unfortunately, pdfjoin has a few dependencies
06:11:47 <Steven> now its down to .2
06:11:50 <Steven> jeos?
06:12:01 <Mekkis> Just Enough Operating System
06:12:18 <Steven> oh... okay
06:12:30 <Mekkis> do you have VirtualBox or VMWare?
06:12:40 <Steven> negative
06:13:00 <Steven> I think im just going to take this thing over to my brothers house, he has ubuntu on his shit
06:13:20 <Steven> i dont want to install another OS on my laptop
06:13:34 <Mekkis> it's a virtual harddisk image
06:13:42 <Mekkis> you just run it as a VM
06:13:48 <Mekkis> within windows
06:14:07 <Mekkis> http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.6/VirtualBox-4.2.6-82870-Win.exe
06:14:09 <Steven> yeah, i think i know how to do it, i just dont want to do it on my laptop
06:14:31 <Mekkis> ah
06:14:43 <Steven> its been my experience, the more things you have on a computer that messes around with start up, the worse the machine runs
06:15:02 <Mekkis> that's unfortunately true
06:15:22 <Mekkis> virtualbox doesn't interfere with startup
06:15:46 <Mekkis> you do need to have the directory full of the PFS scenarios to run the script on
06:16:01 <Steven> i know, i think im just going to circumvent the entire thing and get my brother to do it on his machines
06:16:12 <Mekkis> cool
06:16:19 <Mekkis> he runs linux?
06:16:19 <Steven> yeah i have em on a thumbdrive as a backup incase my computer crashes
06:16:26 <Steven> he runs ubuntu
06:17:36 <Mekkis> the packages that are needed are pdfjam and poppler-tools
06:18:09 <Steven> will that conflict at all?
06:18:22 <Mekkis> I highly doubt it
06:18:34 <Steven> then ill see whats i can do for ya
06:18:57 <Mekkis> otherwise you can download it as a live USB or live CD if that's more useful
06:19:01 <Mekkis> thank you, by the way
06:19:15 <Steven> speaking of backups
06:19:19 <Steven> time to backup my pfs files
06:20:33 <Steven> 12 minutes
06:25:21 <Steven> it jumped to 40 minutes
06:25:25 <Steven> but its not going to take that long
06:25:30 <Mekkis> your backup?
06:25:34 <Steven> yu
06:25:36 <Steven> p
06:25:38 <Mekkis> onto a flash thingy?
06:25:44 <Steven> yup
06:25:46 <Mekkis> that's how it works these days
06:25:55 <Mekkis> the first 20mb or so is fast
06:26:23 <Steven> nah its already down to 42 more files
06:26:32 <Steven> it just likes to lie
06:26:41 <Steven> its still telling me like 28 minutes
06:26:54 <Mekkis> it's because erasing flash is slower than writing it
06:27:24 <Steven> brb, gonna go take foods out of the oven
06:42:59 <deeldose> what if in a campaign u got stuck in a massive enclosed room filled with pistachios
06:43:00 <deeldose> http://io9.com/5733837/when-pistachio-nuts-explode
06:43:13 <deeldose> apparantly they can spontaneously combust irl
06:47:14 <deeldose> cyas :)
06:47:22 <Steven> bye
06:54:27 <Brunius> Yeah, that makes sense. They've always got that dust on them, and if you get the right consistency of floury dust it can be pretty bad
06:54:34 <Brunius> See: Flour mill asplosions
07:13:03 <Steven> so
07:13:11 <Steven> how bout them crazy bitches?
07:13:24 <Steven> also, i upgraded my ioun stone from +2 to +4
07:13:46 <Brunius> bitches be crazy
07:13:52 <Steven> 26 chrisma for my Life Oracle
07:14:13 <Brunius> What should Bairaq buy
07:15:21 <Steven> 11 channels per day, 9d6 DC 23
07:15:42 <Steven> oh my bad... dc24
07:16:55 <Steven> think ill start saving up for a +4 book of Charisma
07:17:15 <Steven> and the +8 ioun stone
07:20:27 <Steven> 206000gold and my character will have bought everything i require for the character....
07:22:06 <Steven> which requires like 63 fame
07:22:34 <Steven> and will take my gold from now till level 16 i think
07:22:43 <Steven> with room for consumables
07:29:24 <Mekkis> +8 iooun stone?
07:31:12 <Steven> yeah
07:31:19 <Steven> ioun stones can be improved just like a headband/belt
07:31:39 <Steven> save that there is no restriction(that i can find) to their max improvement
07:31:44 <Steven> level
07:31:58 <Mekkis> seeker of secrets says otherwise
07:33:21 <Brunius> I wish pfsrd would list page references
07:33:43 <Mekkis> why?
07:33:54 <Steven> could you tell me where it says there is a maximum ioun stone enhancement allowed?
07:34:38 <Brunius> So I could use it almost as a search engine
07:34:50 <Brunius> "Yep, this item is in the core rulebook, page 532"
07:35:02 <Brunius> Steven: Where does it say that you can upgrade ioun stones?
07:35:31 <Mekkis> p45
07:36:17 <Steven> in the seeker of secrets page 43 and 44
07:36:23 <Mekkis> "This stone grants your a +2 enhancement bonus to Constitution. The enhancement bonuses from multiple onyx rhomboids stack (up to a maximum of +6 enhancement bonus to constitution)
07:36:46 <Mekkis> where does it say you can upgrade them?
07:36:47 <Steven> that is not the one of which i am looking at
07:36:54 <Mekkis> nothing on 43
07:37:07 <Steven> Advanced Ioun Stones
07:37:53 <Mekkis> wow... I have a suspicion that, if you asked about it, it would be ruled a "custom magic item"
07:38:04 <Mekkis> by all means (ab)use it now though.
07:38:37 <Steven> and of course, now i find a post with mike brock saying advanced ioun stones are not legal for pfs play
07:39:28 <Steven> oh well.... time to refund some cash and go look for something else to buy
07:40:00 <Mekkis> don't be too hard on yourself: Brock didn't write it until last Wednesday!
07:40:42 jeff ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
07:40:49 <jeff> Hello.
07:41:24 <Steven> yeah i know... thats why im just going to refund the cash and find something else to buy
07:41:42 <Mekkis> how about a Rod of Wonder
07:41:55 <Mekkis> that reminds me Steven
07:42:08 <Mekkis> how would you handle a player who abuses a rod of wonder?
07:42:27 <Mekkis> as in Zap it in the air, until 200000gp of gems come out
07:42:29 <jeff> Anyone here?
07:42:38 <Steven> tell them no
07:43:16 <Steven> as they are certainly breaking the 'dont be a jerk' rule
07:43:36 <Mekkis> what about "Keep zapping that wall until it becomes ethereal"?
07:44:38 <Steven> sure, give bad guys a chance to percieve the noise every day
07:44:41 <Antichthon> Yeah.
07:44:52 <Steven> with a cumulative bonus everytime something makes noise
07:45:00 <jeff> What's going on?
07:45:02 <Mekkis> "Keep zapping until I become diminuative"?
07:45:17 <Antichthon> Nothink, that I know of.
07:45:22 <Steven> yeah...
07:46:07 <jeff> Oh never been here before. This where to meet peope to play Pathfinder?
07:46:49 <Steven> but their gear does not shrink with them
07:46:56 <Antichthon> Yeah. Though I just came here for the first time yesterday.
07:47:04 <Antichthon> I'm just keeping an eye out for PFS games on the schedule.
07:47:30 <jeff> Cool. I live in the US
07:48:03 <Steven> because it specifically says YOU shrink
07:48:54 <Steven> we have a barbarian that carries around tiny sized weapons incase he gets reduced
07:49:21 <Antichthon> As do I.
07:49:27 <Brunius> ha
07:49:31 <Antichthon> Though I think we're the minority.
07:49:37 <jeff> Cool
07:49:42 <jeff> Guessing so
07:50:39 <Mekkis> that's an interesting interpretation
07:50:50 <Mekkis> what about "Gnomish roulette" with a prisoner?
07:51:03 <Steven> gnomish roulette?
07:51:17 <Mekkis> "I point the rod of wonder at you and activate it"
07:51:50 <Brunius> ha
07:51:51 <Antichthon> anyway, got to go.
07:51:55 <Antichthon> nick Anti`Gone
07:52:00 Antichthon is now known as Anti`Gone
07:52:23 <Steven> if its until a negative effect happens... evil act
07:52:53 <Mekkis> no
07:53:00 <Mekkis> until they tell me what I want to kow
07:53:01 <Mekkis> know :S
07:53:24 <Steven> let em do it, they could fireball the guy
07:53:30 jeff has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
07:53:38 <Steven> get no information
07:54:03 <Mekkis> 'twas the will of Desna
07:54:36 <Steven> course they could also get invisibled
07:54:57 <Mekkis> or enlarged
07:55:05 <Steven> and then run the hell away
07:58:24 <Steven> theres about 15 ways a RoW can work agaisnt a party when using it against a prisoner
08:00:26 <Mekkis> true
08:00:38 <Mekkis> 'twas the will of Desna
08:05:04 <Steven> thinking of buying a rod
08:05:25 <Mekkis> for your inquisitor?
08:06:21 <Steven> for my life oracle
08:07:21 <Mekkis> get a staff
08:09:16 <Steven> not any good staffs
08:09:23 <Steven> for my character until really late
08:14:04 <Steven> its a bummer about the ioun stones because it means i have to choose between 2d6 channel and more channels
08:15:24 <Steven> if only the phalacary wasnt in the same slot as a headband
08:17:16 <Brunius-> Stab it
08:17:27 <Brunius-> Or fire
08:17:37 <Brunius-> Fire works too
08:19:53 <Steven> basically 2 more channels, or 2d6
08:21:09 <Mekkis> use ioun stones for charisma
08:21:43 <Steven> 24k a pop is too much
08:23:24 <Steven> suppose i could get a belt of physical perfection
08:23:44 <Mekkis> !item crook of cild
08:23:50 <Steven> take my physical stats to 10,12,16
08:23:52 <diebot> Mekkis, CROOK OF CILDHUREEN [moderate illusion] CL:9 none 16800gp, 4lb
08:23:52 <diebot> This twisted and gnarled black oak staff draws upon the formless magic of the Shadow Plane to allow use of the following spells: • major image (1 charge) • shadow conjuration (2 charges) • shadow evocation (3 charges) In addition, the staff can further influence shadow conjuration and shadow evocation spells, whether cast from the staff or
08:23:52 <diebot> the wielder's daily allotment of spells, without increasing the spell's level. By expending extra charges, the wielder can increase the shadowy substance used to form such spells by +10% per charge, up to a maximum of +50%. Using the staff for this purpose does not increase the casting time of these spells. Source: Fellnight Queen
08:24:09 <Mekkis> what the hell is Fellnight queen?
08:24:21 <Steven> a module
08:25:32 <Mekkis> ah
08:25:46 <Mekkis> it's PFS-sanctioned but the item isn't an Additional Resource
08:26:07 <Brunius-> !item ring of professional
08:26:10 <diebot> Brunius-, RING OF PROTECTION +1 [faint abjuration] CL:5 ring 2000gp, 0lb
08:26:10 <diebot> This ring offers continual magical protection in the form of a deflection bonus of +1 to +5 to AC. Source: Ultimate Equipment
08:26:22 <Mekkis> !item Holy Staff
08:26:23 <diebot> Mekkis, HOLY STAFF [moderate evocation] CL:8 none 29600gp, 5lb
08:26:24 <diebot> This staff is made from polished birch, inlaid with ivory, and topped with a pristine white gemstone. The staff allows use of the following spells: • Align weapon (good only, 1 charge) • Detect evil (1 charge) • Holy smite (2 charges) • Magic circle against evil (2 charges) Source: Ultimate Equipment
08:26:33 <Mekkis> how about that, Steven?
08:29:20 <Steven> thats a lackluster staff
08:32:07 <Mekkis> holy smite 5/scenario?
08:33:37 <Steven> yeah, never liked holy smite
08:34:27 <Mekkis> !item Staff of Master
08:34:30 <diebot> Mekkis, STAFF OF POWER [strong varies] CL:15 none 235000gp, 5lb
08:34:30 <diebot> The description is too long to send over IRC. View http://nl.ti4200.info/vpsirc/items/staff_of_power.html
08:34:36 <Mekkis> !item Staff of The Master
08:34:39 <diebot> Mekkis, STAFF OF THE MASTER [moderate necromancy] CL:8 none 30000gp, 5lb
08:34:39 <diebot> Often given as gifts to apprentices upon reaching the rank of master, these staves come in eight different varieties, one for each school of magic. This particular staff is for the school of necromancy. Aside from acting as a +1/+1 quarterstaff, this staff allows use of the following spells: • Ray of enfeeblement (1 charge) • Spectral hand (1
08:34:40 <diebot> charge) • Vampiric touch (2 charges) In addition, this staff can be used to cast spells using any metamagic feats known by the wielder without increasing the spell's level. This consumes a number of charges equal to the number of spell levels increased by the feat. No more than one feat can be applied to a spell cast by the wielder in this way.
08:34:40 <diebot> Using the staff for this purpose does not increase the casting time of the spell. Source: Ultimate Equipment
08:35:03 <Steven> thinking a belt of con+6
08:35:05 <Steven> for.... 27 more hp
08:35:15 <Mekkis> so you can cast Heightened to 9th Continual Flame
08:37:08 <Steven> i would have to take metamagic
08:38:20 <Steven> healers really dont need metamagic
08:38:29 <Mekkis> reach
08:41:44 <Steven> 150gp to do the same thing with a spectral hand scroll that doesnt cost me 30k? Im not seeing the use of this item.
08:42:58 <Steven> im thinkin of Suzerain scepter
08:43:23 <Steven> maybe rod of splendor
08:43:37 <Steven> but thats a secondary choice to suzerain
08:51:50 <Steven> think im going to go for an orb of golden heaven, a scepter of heaven and a crown of heaven
08:55:13 <Steven> 246k for some rather cool items
08:58:00 <Mekkis> I've always wanted to buy an immovable rod or two
08:59:03 <Brunius-> Yeah
08:59:32 <Brunius-> I can't figure out what I'd use them for in pfs, but they're a cool item
09:00:01 <Mekkis> !item staff of souls
09:00:02 <diebot> Mekkis, STAFF OF SOULS [moderate varies] CL:8 none 32800gp, 5lb
09:00:03 <diebot> This ominous staff is made of twisting wood and topped with a small skull. It allows use of the following spells: • Deathwatch (1 charge) • Detect undead (1 charge) • Gentle repose (1 charge) • Death ward (2 charges) • Speak with dead (2 charges) Source: Ultimate Equipment
09:01:42 <Steven> i have seen them used to stop an elephant from charging.
09:12:28 <Steven> my buddy walter let me borrow his rise of the runelords 10yr anniversary edition

17:53:56 <Mekkis> that reminds me. Do you want a large bag of Magic cards?
17:56:49 <Brunius> Is there any time I don't want a large bag of magic cards?
17:56:51 <Brunius> Is it a problem for you?
17:57:01 <Brunius> Because I don't want to cause trouble
17:57:02 <Mekkis> not really
17:57:17 <Mekkis> I'm driving to Melbourne, so it'll just stay in the car
17:57:39 <Brunius> From QLD?
17:57:43 <Mekkis> ja
18:01:08 <Mekkis> Brunius, do you know how to use apt-get?
18:02:39 <Brunius> I think so, yeah
18:06:49 <Mekkis> teach me
18:07:22 <Brunius> Well that was not what I was expecting
18:08:22 <Brunius> sudo apt-get install <package>, is the normal usage, I believe
18:09:06 <Mekkis> how do you add a repo?
18:13:09 <Mekkis> more to the point, I want to install gcc on my phone
18:13:17 <Brunius> I didn't know you could
18:13:19 <Mekkis> apt-get install gcc doesn't work
18:13:59 <Mekkis> all is not lost: openssh installs
18:21:36 <Mekkis> the bag is one that used to hold 10kg of flour
18:23:06 <Ballig> and now it holds 9kg of flour and 1kg of magic cards
18:23:29 <Brunius> yay flour
18:24:23 <Mekkis> magic cards are more dense than flour
18:34:56 <Mekkis> Brunius, is there a way to search for packages?
18:35:41 <Ballig> I usually find the list of packages on the distro website
18:43:35 <Mekkis> I should just install ubuntu on my phone
19:04:37 <Brunius> Do iiit
19:33:54 <MekkisScreen> why don't you, Brunius ?
19:39:37 <Ballig> let's install ubuntu on everything! who cares if it's designed for it!
20:03:10 <Brunius> "I just want the hardware. I know there'll be a project to patch together support eventually"
20:19:56 <MekkisScreen> but I don't particularly like ubuntu as far as linuxes are concerned
20:22:07 <Brunius> 12.04 is wierd

21:40:09 <Brunius> I guess I have a couple of mods in there...
21:41:30 <Mekkis> how big is your D&D directory?
21:41:59 <Brunius> I don't have one.
21:42:11 <Mekkis> where do you put your D&D/Pathfinder stuff?
21:44:38 <Brunius> What D&D/Pathfinder stuff?
21:45:34 Sutekh ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
21:45:39 <Brunius> sup matt
21:50:32 <Mekkis> pdfs
22:11:34 <Sutekh> err
22:11:44 * Sutekh looks at Brunius
22:11:48 <Mekkis> Sutekh, have you played Race for Runecarved Key?
22:12:18 <Sutekh> Mekkis: No
22:12:20 <Sutekh> Bruinius: Did you mean me t hen?
22:12:22 <Brunius> Yep
22:12:22 <Sutekh> Like I said Mekkis, I have only been playing since August of last year
22:12:27 <Sutekh> I havnt played a lot
22:12:31 <Mekkis> ah
22:12:50 * Sutekh is quite stumped how Brunius knows his real name
22:12:53 <Mekkis> are you arriving Thursday or Friday?
22:13:07 <Sutekh> I arrived the night before it starts
22:13:12 <Sutekh> So 24th
22:13:24 <Sutekh> doh.. keep forgetting i put that stuff in my hostmask :)
22:13:31 <Mekkis> Sutekh, check out your "real name" in your IRC client
22:13:36 <Sutekh> i prefer Matthew though :)
22:13:37 <Mekkis> also: your skype
22:14:04 <Sutekh> Yeah I know how to do a /whois
22:14:11 <Sutekh> just forgot that stuff was there
22:14:11 <Mekkis> (I at least force you to jump through a few more hoops to get my name :P)
22:14:18 <Mekkis> (if Brunius doesn't leak it)
22:14:32 <Brunius> You've impressed upon me that you don't want it leaked
22:14:48 <Mekkis> we should run a game on Thursday night!
22:15:04 <Mekkis> I'm arriving on Thursday too
22:15:21 <Mekkis> Avatar, you keen for that?
22:16:15 <Mekkis> something benign like Master of Fallen Fortress
22:16:36 <Brunius> I still haven't played MoFF
22:16:44 <Mekkis> nor has Avatar
22:17:36 <Sutekh> Sorry, when I mean Thursday night I essentially mean late late night
22:17:39 <Sutekh> I get in at like 11 pm
22:17:53 <Sutekh> I was supposed to get in at 5 in the afternoon but that change my flight details
22:18:20 <Mekkis> ah
22:18:26 <Mekkis> what about Friday morning
22:18:33 <Sutekh> Yeah i wasnt happy either
22:18:34 <Mekkis> it doesn't start until around 2pm rego
22:18:45 <Sutekh> lol.. I guess i could do Friday morning
22:18:47 <Sutekh> Just have to know where to go
22:19:04 <Mekkis> we could go to Goodgames Blackburn
22:19:08 <Mekkis> that would be... interesting
22:19:23 <Sutekh> Where is Blackburn from the CBD?
22:19:33 <Brunius> About 20min train
22:19:34 <Brunius> Along the Belgrave/Lilydale Line
22:19:39 <Sutekh> Do they have gaming space?
22:19:39 <Mekkis> you get on a train, and get off at Blackburn
22:19:45 <Mekkis> they do
22:19:55 <Brunius> They have, oh, 15 tables?
22:20:02 <Sutekh> wow
22:20:25 <Mekkis> I'm staying at Kew, which is between Blackburn and Collingwood
22:20:29 <Sutekh> The only shops gaming wise I know of in MElb is Mil sims.. which always seemed closed to me, Mind Games and some place under a mall
22:20:32 <Sutekh> cant quite remember its name
22:20:33 <Sutekh> Dungeon?
22:20:38 <Sutekh> something like that
22:20:38 <Brunius> Dungeon of Magic
22:20:43 <Sutekh> thats it!
22:20:46 <Brunius> There's a Good Games in the CBD
22:20:48 <Sutekh> I kept on finding it by accident
22:20:55 <Mekkis> they have tables too
22:20:57 <Brunius> About four minutes from Melbourne Central Station
22:21:02 <Sutekh> Shows you how long its been since I went to Melbourne
22:21:15 <Mekkis> (whatever you do, don't try it in Games Lab :S
22:21:26 <Brunius> Ha
22:21:31 <Brunius> Why?
22:22:13 <Mekkis> because I don't want James Mackay to know that I'm willing to pay for travel and accommodation when going for Pathfinder, but not when I'm going for Magic
22:22:51 <Brunius> haha
22:23:45 <Mekkis> (I was the only Brisbane judge who got WotC to pay for his accommodation in GP Sydney next week)
22:24:17 <Brunius> So not a good look to be seen paying for accomodation in melbourne the next week
22:24:33 <Mekkis> exactly
22:24:58 <Mekkis> (and yes, I am staying at the Pathfinder motel) :P
22:25:02 <Sutekh> So you are a big wig in this card game business?
22:25:10 <Mekkis> me?
22:25:13 <Mekkis> hell no
22:25:37 <Mekkis> I'm one of the four L2 judges in the Brisbane backwater
22:25:47 <Sutekh> IS that good?
22:25:57 * Sutekh has never played Magic
22:26:10 <Mekkis> James Mackay is the only L4 judge in Australia
22:26:41 <Mekkis> but Brisbane (and the rest of QLD), as a whole, has been rather empty of judges
22:28:41 <Mekkis> L2 is the highest level you can be without making it a part-time job, it seems
22:29:09 <Mekkis> last I checked, the L3s in Australia either work at card shops or study PhDs
22:43:43 <Mekkis> Sutekh, have you registered?
22:48:47 <Mekkis> Brunius, how does it feel to kill off a fellow party member?
22:51:12 <Sutekh> Mekkis: Yeah, I did some time back
22:51:20 <Brunius-> Fire!!!!!!
22:51:29 <Sutekh> Like a loooong time ago, I think Im Attendee 4 :)
22:51:50 <Sutekh> AON hasnt got any better though
22:52:41 <Mekkis> doesn't let you sign up for more than one PFS session :S
22:53:22 <Mekkis> For some reason, room availability is extremely limited at Arcanacon this year. I'm unsure why, maybe they have to pay up front for number of rooms hired, I don't know. I have been told that we'll have rooms allocated for pre-registered tables, but don't expect to be able to gain any extra room once pre-registration has closed. This includes the Special! The clear message to walk away with here is - PRE-REGISTER YOUR SESSIONS NOW OR YOU'LL MISS OUT!
22:53:48 <Brunius-> Oooh
22:53:58 <Brunius-> Alrighty
22:54:05 <Brunius-> To aon
22:54:18 <Mekkis> not sure if I'm supposed to tell you that, but I think I should
22:54:20 <Mekkis> yeah
22:54:34 <Mekkis> what we SHOULD do is register about 50 no-shows for PFS :)
22:54:55 <Sutekh> Well its been updated since 2 days ago
22:55:09 <Sutekh> before It didnt tell me about the double sessions or race
22:55:16 <Sutekh> so it must have just been added
22:55:23 * Sutekh has been keeping an eye on the site
22:56:14 <Mekkis> oh, and it's on warhorn now
22:56:55 <Brunius-> I have to p're register on both?
22:57:58 <Mekkis> ja
22:58:13 <Mekkis> Aon to say that you'll be there, Warhorn to say what you'll be playing
23:00:52 <Brunius-> Aon won't let me sign up
23:01:19 <Brunius-> Says I need to sign up for only two sessions of pfs
23:01:28 <Brunius-> Instead of 10
23:02:52 <Mekkis> email Arcanacon and Darkwhite
23:03:52 <Brunius-> Saying what
23:04:17 <Brunius-> "The site is broken, but I will be there"
23:04:20 <Mekkis> "I intend to play in every PFS session at arcanacon but I can't sign up for all of them."
23:05:38 <Sutekh> ahh Warhorn!
23:05:44 <Sutekh> I should have realised
23:06:01 <Sutekh> is there a link to the particular part of warhorn I need to register to on the arcanacon website?
23:06:04 <Mekkis> "Warhorn: There are worse ways to schedule events"
23:06:08 <Sutekh> if not there should be
23:06:18 <Mekkis> http://warhorn.net/melbourne-pfs/schedule/month.php?year=2013&mon=1
23:06:30 <Mekkis> it's under melbourne-pfs
23:07:46 <Mekkis> ooh
23:07:46 <Sutekh> Thats good for us
23:07:54 <Mekkis> Beer is available at arcanacon this year!
23:08:03 <Sutekh> But what happens if you dont know about the warhorn bit?
23:08:35 <Mekkis> there's still a mustering period
23:10:24 <Sutekh> ooh... not much I can play that night
23:10:54 <Mekkis> not all sessions have been finalised
23:11:06 Steven ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
23:11:52 <Mekkis> oh no
23:12:00 <Steven> yeah
23:12:04 <Steven> thats right
23:12:25 <Brunius-> I'd hope they haven't been finalised
23:12:34 <Mekkis> sssh
23:12:54 <Avatar> I had dramas with aon earlier as well
23:13:25 <Brunius-> Did they get resolved?
23:14:15 <Sutekh> Says i cant sign up for anymore that 2 sessions
23:14:19 <Sutekh> To be honest, Ive never liked AON
23:14:26 <Sutekh> so I just signed up via Warhorn
23:14:30 <Sutekh> much easier
23:14:42 <Brunius-> You have to do both I think
23:15:03 <Sutekh> Well its hard to do both if It dosnt work properly
23:15:18 <Avatar> no
23:15:27 <Avatar> I was using my mobile but I just tried again and still can't figure it out
23:15:35 <Brunius-> Yeah, that's what I've been talking about
23:15:45 <Mekkis> indeed
23:16:39 <Brunius-> I'm gonna email the arcanacon orgs about it, and probably cc darkwhite
23:16:40 <Sutekh> Is Race for the Runecarved key one of these ones that grants boons?
23:16:55 <Brunius-> It's a special!!!
23:17:21 <Sutekh> sounds interesting
23:20:03 <Brunius-> Does anyone have darkwhite's email
23:20:09 <Brunius-> Oh
23:20:17 <Mekkis> pathfindersocietyoz@gmail
23:21:46 <Avatar> Sutekh: expect to die
23:21:57 <Sutekh> heh
23:22:06 <Avatar> I'm not joking
23:22:09 <Sutekh> Always Avatar
23:22:10 <Sutekh> Always
23:22:11 <Sutekh> otherwise why play?
23:22:17 <Avatar> it'll be the most fun you have dying, though
23:22:18 <Mekkis> Sutekh, oh, and don't play at tier 5-6
23:22:21 * Sutekh will keep some cash in reserve
23:22:29 <Mekkis> or 6-7
23:22:35 <Sutekh> 5-6 is bad?
23:22:57 <Avatar> is that a historic thing
23:23:14 <Mekkis> it seems that that level range is... unbalanced
23:23:35 <Mekkis> so... Casting Cloudkill in a special is a good idea?
23:24:17 <Sutekh> Well Ive signed up with My Gunslinger who is a 6
23:24:20 <Sutekh> nearly a 7
23:24:22 <Sutekh> so close :)
23:24:27 <Sutekh> So Ill see how that goes
23:24:36 <Sutekh> But yes, If I die.. you can say I told you so
23:25:11 <Sutekh> Currently its the only game he is playing in. Ive played Sanos and the Disappeared. So looks like it might be murders mark all day for one of those days
23:25:16 <Sutekh> I hope they put more modules on the system
23:25:22 <Sutekh> on the warhorn I mean
23:27:00 <Sutekh> and argh... Blakros and Storming on at the same time!
23:27:04 <Sutekh> dammit
23:27:49 <Avatar> we can run either of those
23:28:27 <Avatar> Mekkis Sutekh you guys having trouble registering sessions on aon as well?
23:28:49 <Sutekh> Avatar: Yes
23:28:56 <Sutekh> Since day one ! :)
23:29:09 <Avatar> can only register 2 sessions?
23:29:18 <Sutekh> Im also finding this weird. According to AON there is a pathfinder game on Friday
23:29:23 <Sutekh> Yet on Warhorn there isnt
23:29:27 <Avatar> yeah there is
23:29:30 <Avatar> games aren't up for friday yet
23:29:46 <Sutekh> ahhh
23:30:14 * Sutekh is effectively trying to sign up for every session of the CON
23:32:18 <Brunius-> I've just emailed the arcanacon orgs and darkwhite about it
23:32:28 <Brunius-> I'll let you know what comes up
23:33:01 <Sutekh> thanks
23:33:20 Sutekh ([email protected]) has left #d&d (Leaving)

23:37:34 <Mekkis> trying to run ut on my phone
23:38:46 <Brunius-> Unreal tournament??
23:38:50 <Mekkis> ja
