18:26:08 <Mekkis> moin
18:26:20 <Mekkis> Steven1, question
18:26:33 <Steven1> Mekkis, answer
18:28:06 <Mekkis> If a player from interstate (say, 300+km away) has signed up to a table that you're running, and comes with a complete character sheet, but explains that he does not have his chronicle sheets, as they were lost, but he's contacted his VC and asked to get them replaced, what do you do?
18:29:40 <Steven1> I would let him play. If they wanted to cheat they only really hurt themselves.
18:29:52 <Mekkis> Fair enough.
18:30:25 <Mekkis> would you force him to use a pregen?
18:30:46 <Mekkis> If you knew he was a prolific GM, would this change your attitude?
18:36:43 <Steven1> no, i absolutely dont care about that stuff. I've done a whole 3 audits.
18:36:57 <Steven1> I dont carry any of my chronicle sheets around.
18:37:18 <Steven1> because its easily like 250 sheets of paper.
18:37:39 <Steven1> and i never know what im going to play...
18:37:51 <Steven1> so if i dont do it, i dont expect other people to do it.
18:38:29 <Steven1> I expect people to follow the rules, and if they dont i'm not going to waste my time worry about them breaking the rules. its not worth it to me.
18:39:02 <Mekkis> If you were the VC in question, seven months on, when you finally end up printing the chronicle sheets, would you use the fact that this had happened three times in the meantime to say "You should have known better", and use it as grounds to penalise the player?
18:39:54 <Steven1> i wouldnt, mostly because i would have printed out the replacement sheets and then never thought about it again.
18:40:11 <Steven1> the only time i ever see a chronicle sheet after i print them out is when a player uses a boon off of one.
18:41:41 <Steven1> i dont mean to unduely toot the horn of my playerbase, but they really are amazing
18:42:07 <Steven1> we've had two instances of cheating in 4 years.
18:42:43 <Steven1> which either means they arent cheating, or they are skilled at it... both of which i appreciate.
18:43:22 <Mekkis> Congratulations, Steven1: You win the "You're better than my VC" prize!
18:43:34 * Steven1 shrugs
18:43:52 <Steven1> I'm really not. I just don't care... because im lazy lol
18:43:54 <Mekkis> Please, come to Canberra and take over
18:44:05 <Steven1> I will never go to australia... too many spiders.
18:44:27 <Mekkis> That's like me saying "I will never go to the US... too many guns
18:44:40 <Steven1> which is completely fair in my opinion.
18:45:00 <Mekkis> that being said, I probably will go to the US one of these days
18:45:37 <Steven1> you're more then welcome to come play in pullman washington...
18:46:20 <Mekkis> I need to find a technical conference near GenCon.
18:47:52 <Mekkis> in the US, does everyone drive like Mike Brock?
18:48:33 <Steven1> https://www.eventbrite.com/d/in--indianapolis/conferences/?crt=regular&end_date=08%2F12%2F2015&page=1&slat=39.7684&slng=-86.1581&sort=best&start_date=07%2F22%2F2015
18:48:47 <Steven1> no... we mostly fly if its more then 1 state.
18:50:19 <Mekkis> I meant the way he drives, not the distance
18:50:39 <Steven1> i think brock mostly flies.
18:51:10 <Mekkis> yeah, but he's a very aggressive driver
18:51:20 <Steven1> dunno... i havent driven with him.
18:51:43 <Mekkis> I have
18:53:03 <Steven1> well he used to be a police officer. they tend to bully their way through traffic
18:53:50 <Steven1> A lot of people drive aggressively over here... i spend most of my time driving shaking my head.
18:54:01 <Steven1> because people do some really stupid things.

21:40:43 <Steven1> so what up
21:45:43 <Mekkis> The Victorian police chief has gone on the record to the effect that you should report any "young people with an undue interest in chemistry or electronics" to the terrorism hotline.
21:45:51 <Mekkis> I say we report Brunius
22:03:58 <Steven1> you do what ya think ya gotta do... Brunius is still butt hurt over last weeks joke methinks
22:26:20 <ulzef> no reporting Brunius if they disappear him how would we ever get another game of WotW in?
22:29:05 <Mekkis> they don't 'disappear' terrorists. They make a lot of noise about it
22:29:28 <Mekkis> Saying "YAY, We caught a TERRORIST!"
22:29:33 <ulzef> they make alot of noise about hi profile terrorists
22:29:57 <Mekkis> you haven't read the Daily Telegraph
22:37:04 <ulzef> Avatar you about?
