00:00:15 <Steven> 6-07 and 6-20
00:02:24 <Goya> Nice!
00:02:38 <Goya> I didn't sign up for any of the core - though in hindsight I should have.. =/
00:02:58 <Steven> i dont know if i'll actually GM at all.
00:03:05 <Steven> i have a 5-9 and a 7-11 core.
00:03:06 <Goya> Aww.
00:03:35 <Goya> Well - aww for us. It's about time you got to play. ;)
00:04:09 <Steven> i dont know how many players actually have a 5+ character
00:04:13 <Steven> in core
00:04:19 <Steven> let alone a 7+ character
00:04:29 <Steven> unless they play more then i do... which would be impressive.
00:04:29 <Goya> I read a poll in the forums and it was very low percentage
00:04:40 <Goya> Or rather I read someone talking about a poll...
00:06:06 <Avatar> welcome to the future
00:11:08 <Steven> I have a level 7, two level 3s and a level 2
00:11:20 <Steven> and i organize a game day twice a week.
00:11:36 <Steven1> yeah avatar run a campaign for us...
00:11:43 <Goya> holy cow!
00:13:09 <Steven1> prepin me some games for paizocon
00:16:44 Gamera has quit (Quit: )
00:20:19 <Steven> i think our group of pathfinders plays more core then most other people.
00:22:16 <Steven> but hey good news is that i'll also be gming the specials
00:22:46 <Steven> and one of them you play pregens, so you can totally come play at my table then.
00:24:02 * Steven1 rolls up a horrible character.
00:43:08 <Goya> Nice! We will!
00:43:24 <Goya> Sorry for the delay - I was playing Regicide
00:49:07 <Steven1> I'll build a bloodrager/arcane archer!
01:13:06 <Steven> fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck scenarios so good. they just released the last scenario i gotta prep.
01:14:14 <Steven> damn paizocon and gencon gonna be good this year
01:20:34 <Goya> Woohoo!
01:20:47 <Goya> Save us a seat for the special ;)
01:25:40 <Steven1> fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
01:26:09 <Steven1> this scenario is sooooooooooooo good.
01:26:14 <Steven1> i cant wait to run it at paizocon.
01:53:12 <Mekkis> seriously.
01:55:07 <s_gmusic> which one?
01:58:31 <Mekkis> PaizoConOz is in Canberra?
02:03:50 <Mekkis> why?
02:09:58 <Steven1> back
02:10:16 <Steven1> serpent's Rise
02:13:09 <Avatar> play one in PFS
02:13:52 <Avatar> don't you live in canberra mekkis? that's good for you
02:14:02 <Avatar> re paizocon
02:14:36 <Mekkis> Ah, but the VC's a jerk. And there are far too many powergamers
02:19:25 <Steven1> avatar what ap you gonna run for us?!?
02:19:28 <Steven1> DO ET!
02:20:50 <Steven1> gaint slayer?
02:22:12 <Avatar> so aren't you going
02:26:06 <Avatar> part 3 finished, btw
02:26:12 <Avatar> hell of a cliffhanger
02:53:11 <Steven1> so why dont you wanna run an AP for us avatar... really... tells me
04:03:18 <Steven1> le sigh....
04:03:23 <Steven1> disagreements tonight.
04:03:33 <Avatar> mate you haven't even GM'd a scenario for us in I don't remember how long
04:03:35 <Steven1> makes being a VO so not worth it.
04:09:55 <Steven> i've been bus
04:09:56 <Steven> busy
04:10:14 <Steven> if i could i'd run this new scenario as a slot 0
04:10:21 <Steven> and watch your brains expload.
04:10:34 <Steven> right now.
04:10:36 <Steven> but i cant.
04:11:30 <Steven1> i think i need to stop treating people like adults, and treat them like children.
04:11:49 <Steven1> just subtract.... 15 years from their actual age?
04:18:32 <ulzef> hmmm i might come mek
04:23:37 <Steven> i havent really been excited in anything they've put out up until today.
04:23:58 <Steven> because i'd rather be playing in an AP.
04:24:44 <ulzef> will talk to some of the guys and see what they think
04:27:58 <Mekkis> moin
04:28:10 <Mekkis> Steven1, question
04:28:23 <Steven1> Mekkis, answer
04:29:56 <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?
04:31:30 <Steven1> I would let him play. If they wanted to cheat they only really hurt themselves.
04:31:43 <Mekkis> Fair enough.
04:32:15 <Mekkis> would you force him to use a pregen?
04:32:36 <Mekkis> If you knew he was a prolific GM, would this change your attitude?
04:33:10 <Avatar> well give us the juicy details
04:33:12 <Avatar> don't hold back on us
04:34:21 <Steven1> people not making decisions, GMs not explaining mechanics, players getting put at a disadvantage because of said GMs
04:35:18 <Avatar> tell your GMs to get their act together
04:35:45 <Steven1> then inturrupting my game to discuss it, bothering me mid combat to get chronicle sheets
04:36:25 <Steven1> "hey steve i need 5 chronicle sheets" okay get them 5 chronicle sheets they come back "Hey steve i miscounted i need another chronicle sheet"
04:36:54 <Avatar> why didn't you just say "no"
04:37:06 <Steven1> because im event coordinator, its what im supposed to do.
04:37:18 <Avatar> so it's your fault then
04:37:36 <Steven1> yup, my fault because i didnt count the table size myself
04:38:33 <Steven1> no, i absolutely dont care about that stuff. I've done a whole 3 audits.
04:38:47 <Steven1> I dont carry any of my chronicle sheets around.
04:39:08 <Steven1> because its easily like 250 sheets of paper.
04:39:29 <Steven1> and i never know what im going to play...
04:39:41 <Steven1> so if i dont do it, i dont expect other people to do it.
04:40:09 <Steven1> just lots of little stuff today
04:40:19 <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.
04:40:52 <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?
04:41:44 <Steven1> i wouldnt, mostly because i would have printed out the replacement sheets and then never thought about it again.
04:42:01 <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.
04:42:07 <Mekkis> ulzef, you sure
04:42:10 <Mekkis> Ben will be here.
04:42:16 <Steven1> my favorite was "I see you didn't Sign up. Can you play any of these games?" No. "Would you be interested in GMing this game?" No. "Would you like to GM a different game?" No. "I have no table to put you at then. The other tables already are full and have GMs."
04:42:25 <Steven1> okay change the game to one i can play.
04:43:29 <Steven1> "Well that is not fair to the 5 players who signed up to play this game. I don't think it is cool to tell them they cant play after they signed up to play a game offered." So? I can't play those...
04:43:31 <Steven1> i dont mean to unduely toot the horn of my playerbase, but they really are amazing
04:43:44 <Avatar> LOL
04:43:50 <Avatar> I would just walk away without saying anything else
04:43:57 <Steven1> we've had two instances of cheating in 4 years.
04:43:59 <Avatar> just turn and find another direction to walk in for no reason
04:44:14 <Steven1> this is a constant thing with this player.
04:44:33 <Steven1> which either means they arent cheating, or they are skilled at it... both of which i appreciate.
04:44:50 <Steven1> the table group of people were sitting right there and my friend was like I'll GM lets find something else to play after it was aparant this guy was going to be a pain.
04:45:12 <Mekkis> Congratulations, Steven1: You win the "You're better than my VC" prize!
04:45:24 <Steven1> I gave everyone at the table EXCEPT that asshole a boon.
04:45:24 * Steven1 shrugs
04:45:42 <Steven1> I'm really not. I just don't care... because im lazy lol
04:45:44 <Mekkis> Please, come to Canberra and take over
04:45:55 <Steven1> I will never go to australia... too many spiders.
04:46:17 <Mekkis> That's like me saying "I will never go to the US... too many guns
04:46:30 <Steven1> which is completely fair in my opinion.
04:46:51 <Mekkis> that being said, I probably will go to the US one of these days
04:47:05 <Steven1> i think im gonna grab a glass and get some scotch... fuck tonight.
04:47:27 <Steven1> you're more then welcome to come play in pullman washington...
04:48:11 <Mekkis> I need to find a technical conference near GenCon.
04:48:58 <Steven1> ahhhhh peaty goodness
04:49:43 <Mekkis> in the US, does everyone drive like Mike Brock?
04:50:23 <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
04:50:37 <Steven1> no... we mostly fly if its more then 1 state.
04:52:09 <Mekkis> I meant the way he drives, not the distance
04:52:29 <Steven1> i think brock mostly flies.
04:52:54 <Avatar> I wouldn't mind a drink
04:53:00 <Mekkis> yeah, but he's a very aggressive driver
04:53:10 <Steven1> dunno... i havent driven with him.
04:53:34 <Mekkis> I have
04:54:52 <Steven1> well he used to be a police officer. they tend to bully their way through traffic
04:55:40 <Steven1> A lot of people drive aggressively over here... i spend most of my time driving shaking my head.
04:55:51 <Steven1> because people do some really stupid things.

05:03:59 <Mekkis> ulzef, is there any 'vl for Geelong'?
05:12:51 <Steven1> im rockin a laphroaig 10 right now.
05:13:35 <Steven1> 3rd glass and im feelin goo
05:13:37 <Steven1> goooood
05:51:33 <Steven1> so how ya doin avatar? played in any good games lately
05:58:35 <Avatar> haven't played since eyes of the ten part 3a
05:58:42 <Avatar> will be playing eyes of the ten part 3b on saturday
05:58:56 <Avatar> just when my barbarian nightmares were ending :(
06:42:12 <Steven1> i liked the second half of that scenario a lot.
06:42:25 <Steven1> but my table did stuff that was... unexpected.
06:50:09 <ulzef> oh so way point is canberra really?
06:56:37 <Steven> pie!
07:15:51 <Mekkis> for three games.
07:16:09 <Mekkis> And as such he had taken it to mean that I had willingly broken a rule.
07:17:08 <ulzef> your VC is a douche
07:17:46 <ulzef> your my VC storys are prob the main reason i never would come visit for a game because i would then be under his purview
07:17:48 <Mekkis> tell me about it
07:18:08 <Mekkis> ulzef, I'll add you to The List then
07:19:49 <Avatar> what's he going to do, seriously
07:19:58 <Avatar> is he going to ask you to leave
07:20:04 <ulzef> admittedly my opinion is based off what i have heard from you
07:20:17 <Mekkis> He's told me that I won't be GMing at any cons in Canberra
07:20:21 <Avatar> so he thought you broke a rule
07:20:23 <Avatar> what did he do next
07:20:25 <ulzef> nah
07:20:43 <Mekkis> Given that it's been over a year and a half since I GMed at a con in Canberra, I'm not too fussed, really
07:21:03 <Avatar> email the VOs in canberra and ask if you can GM sometime and see what they say
07:21:20 <Mekkis> I don't need to.
07:21:32 <Mekkis> I was GMing a game in Canberra today.
07:23:09 <Mekkis> ulzef, for the record, The List is an ever-growing list of People Who Won't Play PFS in Canberra.
07:23:24 <Mekkis> mainly because of the VC
07:24:00 <ulzef> stephen does not love us enough to make one of us VL
07:24:12 <Avatar> dumb netsplits
07:30:39 <Avatar> I am not joking the first half gave me nightmares

07:39:34 <Avatar> what does john carter have to do witha nything
07:39:46 <Steven1> eyes part 3 is basically john carter.
07:40:20 <Avatar> I am not sure that is true
07:40:56 <Steven1> well its where the author got their ideas from
07:42:33 <Steven1> so what up
07:47:33 <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.
07:47:42 <Mekkis> I say we report Brunius
07:49:45 <Steven> bored.
08:01:50 <Avatar> I haven't heard from jena in months
08:04:43 <Mekkis> ulzef, Paizoconoz IS.
08:05:48 <Steven1> you do what ya think ya gotta do... Brunius is still butt hurt over last weeks joke methinks
08:17:44 Gamera ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
08:21:44 <Avatar> scratch that
08:28:11 <ulzef> no reporting Brunius if they disappear him how would we ever get another game of WotW in?
08:30:55 <Mekkis> they don't 'disappear' terrorists. They make a lot of noise about it
08:31:19 <Mekkis> Saying "YAY, We caught a TERRORIST!"
08:31:23 <ulzef> they make alot of noise about hi profile terrorists
08:31:48 <Mekkis> you haven't read the Daily Telegraph
08:38:54 <ulzef> Avatar you about?
09:26:31 <Mekkis> ordered a new laptop.
09:26:47 <Mekkis> This is I think the first new laptop I've had since 2005.

19:49:53 <Avatar> when you play it
20:21:51 <Steven1> we played for about 5-6 hours.
20:22:08 <Steven1> then ran into some bullshit and we didnt finish
20:57:48 <Steven1> yo
