- [2011-12-05 00:00:09] <TheBeardiestBob> Second statement is also true if written as 'the worst players challenge their DMs' in fairness. Just in a different way.
- [2011-12-05 00:00:18] <TheBeardiestBob> And so is the first I suppose
- [2011-12-05 00:00:29] <Ironybot> Hiding bodies is rather challenging, I suppose.
- [2011-12-05 00:00:30] <TheBeardiestBob> Shit and Epic, two sides of the same coin
- [2011-12-05 00:02:36] <Ironybot> I am sorry that I couldn't work more than the pitiful three puns I managed into my dialogue suggestions. I am not a masterful punmeister.
- [2011-12-05 00:03:03] <Ironybot> In retrospect I should definitely have used "you're keeping me in the dark" when talking to the Shadowbro, though. That was a terrible oversight.

- [2011-12-05 00:13:27] <MrTT> @Ironybot: That would have been punny
- [2011-12-05 00:16:29] <TheBeardiestBob> So WHAT are you talking to Silja about in this run?

- [2011-12-05 00:23:17] <MrTT> bob, how far are you in skyrim?
- [2011-12-05 00:23:27] <TheBeardiestBob> In what manner?
- [2011-12-05 00:25:41] <Ironybot> It looks like the suggestions for talking to Silja focus mostly on casual chat, and using our blood to let her see the sights in Turkey if we're wandering around the city.
- [2011-12-05 00:26:39] <Ironybot> Presumably if we're showing her things and she hasn't done a lot of travel that would easily segue into discussion of interesting places in different countries and so forth which we should be able to easily spin into a positive thing as far as looking forward to the future with travel and such goes.
- [2011-12-05 00:41:45] <TheBeardiestBob> I'm getting there
- [2011-12-05 00:42:16] -->| Shifter31 (~Scrambled@Rizon-9D8DF9AA.lnse1.ken.bigpond.net.au) has joined #golemquest
- [2011-12-05 00:56:59] <MrTT> level, anything left that can challange you, rough guess at how many side quests you did, did you finish major quest, and major faction stuff (like, done with mage college, done with theives guild, etc)
- [2011-12-05 00:58:04] <TheBeardiestBob> Level: 62, nothing can challenge, guess at the majority, did not finish major quest because I have too much fun repeating it, finished all non-war factions.
- [2011-12-05 00:58:08] <MrTT> I am level 56, practically done with thieves guild (need to return the key and thats it... but i am keeping it for now). Done with mage college, midway with companions... need to find the elder scroll in main quest. Done hundreds of side quests (nearly done with all of them), nothing challanges me, ultimate gear, 200k moneies
- [2011-12-05 00:58:30] <TheBeardiestBob> So why are we doing this e-penis comparison?
- [2011-12-05 00:58:35] <TheBeardiestBob> I must have missed something.
- [2011-12-05 00:58:50] <MrTT> its not meant as an epenis competition
- [2011-12-05 00:59:00] <MrTT> i was curios how far you got in the game
- [2011-12-05 00:59:12] <TheBeardiestBob> but why are you curious?
- [2011-12-05 00:59:50] <MrTT> that is an interesting question...
- [2011-12-05 01:00:30] <MrTT> i guess small talk
- [2011-12-05 01:01:09] <MrTT> and some rough estimate to base our other conversations about the game
- [2011-12-05 01:01:35] <TheBeardiestBob> Why would our comparitive progress in the game's setting be a small talk point, rather than directly asking about specific facets of said game?
- [2011-12-05 01:03:01] <MrTT> i hadn't properly considered the branching nature of the game when i first asked
- [2011-12-05 01:05:08] <MrTT> you know what, thinking about it the game is largely paralel... there are a bunch of faction / stories... but each one is linear... with a few exceptions (eg: ally with stormcloaks or imperials)
- [2011-12-05 01:05:56] <MrTT> sure you can choose the order in which you do thieves guild, civil war, mage college, or main quest...
- [2011-12-05 01:06:05] <MrTT> but there isn't all that much actual choich within those
- [2011-12-05 01:06:30] <TheBeardiestBob> so are you talking to yourself or are we having a conversation? This seems more rhetoric than anything resembling a part of a dialogue at this point.
- [2011-12-05 01:06:56] <MrTT> i am making a statement into a relatively dead chat with the potential to trigger a conversation
- [2011-12-05 01:06:56] <Wutenheimer> have you done any of the deadric quests bob?
- [2011-12-05 01:07:17] <TheBeardiestBob> Indeed I have
- [2011-12-05 01:07:25] <TheBeardiestBob> favorite was Molag Bal's
- [2011-12-05 01:07:36] <Wutenheimer> i liked that one, it was my first
- [2011-12-05 01:07:37] <MrTT> you kidding?
- [2011-12-05 01:07:38] <TheBeardiestBob> just for the exorcist start.
- [2011-12-05 01:07:56] <TheBeardiestBob> No in fact I am not.
- [2011-12-05 01:08:02] <MrTT> that was one of the worst quests in the game
- [2011-12-05 01:08:20] <MrTT> but i admit that the exorcist start was cool looking
- [2011-12-05 01:08:21] <TheBeardiestBob> why do you insist on treating personal opinion as fact?
- [2011-12-05 01:08:29] <Wutenheimer> my favorite is a toss up between sheogorath's and clavicus vile's quests
- [2011-12-05 01:08:36] <MrTT> why do you insist on treating my opinion as statement of fact?
- [2011-12-05 01:09:04] <MrTT> I made a statement, it came from my mouth. It is a statement about taste, that makes it subjective by definition... by all definitions this is a statement of opinion
- [2011-12-05 01:09:06] <TheBeardiestBob> Why do you not recognize your phrasing only implied authoritative declaration, rather than offering of an opinion?
- [2011-12-05 01:09:11] <MrTT> there is no need of saying "in my opinion"
- [2011-12-05 01:09:14] <MrTT> it is obvious
- [2011-12-05 01:09:20] <TheBeardiestBob> Why do you say the statement came from your mouth when you typed it?
- [2011-12-05 01:09:34] <MrTT> i spoke at the keyboard
- [2011-12-05 01:09:40] <TheBeardiestBob> where is the accuracy you have claimed to enjoy seeking in conversation at earlier points?
- [2011-12-05 01:09:41] <Wutenheimer> magic
- [2011-12-05 01:10:00] <TheBeardiestBob> And if there is no need to clarify what is opinion and what is fact why is it necessary in so many arenas of life?
- [2011-12-05 01:10:33] <MrTT> for all you know i am using voice to text software
- [2011-12-05 01:10:39] <MrTT> like nuance dragon speaking naturally
- [2011-12-05 01:10:42] <MrTT> which i am not at the moment
- [2011-12-05 01:11:05] <TheBeardiestBob> Why are you further defending a point you admitted to be an error?
- [2011-12-05 01:11:14] <TheBeardiestBob> What purpose does the additional clarification serve?
- [2011-12-05 01:11:48] <Wutenheimer> speech level up!
- [2011-12-05 01:12:13] <Wutenheimer> speaking of, what's the hardest skill to train? i find it's speech
- [2011-12-05 01:12:15] <MrTT> 1. its funny. 2. since when are you a grammar nazi? Yes I said "from my mouth" when I am actually typing so its "from my fingers"... obviously i used a figure of speech
- [2011-12-05 01:12:24] <MrTT> I thought you HATED grammer nazies
- [2011-12-05 01:12:34] <Wutenheimer> 1. not really. 2. always
- [2011-12-05 01:12:36] <TheBeardiestBob> For one, if I type, verbatim 'Molag Bal Quest was the best Daedric quest' there is nothing that directly shows this is a stated opinion, not a stated fact. 'Molag Bal is my favorite quest' is my stated opinion, as is 'I think the Molag Bal quest is the best'
- [2011-12-05 01:12:37] <MrTT> i have to admit i have a little of the grammar nazi in me
- [2011-12-05 01:12:41] <Grail> Speech is probably the hardest to train.
- [2011-12-05 01:12:44] <TheBeardiestBob> But you stated it.
- [2011-12-05 01:12:47] <TheBeardiestBob> As if it was fact.
- [2011-12-05 01:12:51] <Grail> I can't really think of any power leveling methods
- [2011-12-05 01:12:57] <TheBeardiestBob> An error that you are dancing around admitting.
- [2011-12-05 01:13:03] <MrTT> there is something that shows it as a stated opinion
- [2011-12-05 01:13:09] <MrTT> 1. its subjective. 2. you stated it
- [2011-12-05 01:13:15] <TheBeardiestBob> Likely because you are a grammar nazi and do not like being wrong.
- [2011-12-05 01:13:19] <MrTT> it is by definition a stated opinion
- [2011-12-05 01:13:21] <Wutenheimer> grail, every transaction counts as the same amount of ep
- [2011-12-05 01:13:23] <Wutenheimer> xp*
- [2011-12-05 01:13:39] <Wutenheimer> so you hit enter home enter, enter home enter, etc
- [2011-12-05 01:13:40] <MrTT> you might ask "does the speaker REALIZE that it is only their opinion and not an absolute fact... that it is possible for people to have different tastes"
- [2011-12-05 01:13:46] <MrTT> and that CANNOT be inferred from the phrasing
- [2011-12-05 01:13:52] <Wutenheimer> for huge stacks of iron arrows or whatever
- [2011-12-05 01:13:54] <Shifter31> Social skills in all elder scrolls games have been tedious.
- [2011-12-05 01:14:00] <Grail> Huh well that works then
- [2011-12-05 01:14:02] <TheBeardiestBob> Again you dance around admitting it.
- [2011-12-05 01:14:09] <MrTT> to attempt to make such an inferrence is to be splitting hairs, be a grammer nazi, and make assumptions
- [2011-12-05 01:14:22] <Wutenheimer> it fuckin sucks though
- [2011-12-05 01:14:29] <Grail> I've never really found myself in a situation where I wanted to power level speech though
- [2011-12-05 01:14:48] <MrTT> just selling shit naturally i recently hit speech 92
- [2011-12-05 01:14:55] <MrTT> speech levels... it just happens
- [2011-12-05 01:15:08] <TheBeardiestBob> Why do you not like admitting when you could be wrong, or even COULD be wrong, when you've professed a love of both being corrected, and correcting?
- [2011-12-05 01:15:15] <MrTT> I love admitting when I can be wrong
- [2011-12-05 01:15:15] <Wutenheimer> at that point why do you even sell shit
- [2011-12-05 01:15:17] <MrTT> i admit it all the time
- [2011-12-05 01:15:21] <MrTT> but this time i am not wrong
- [2011-12-05 01:15:23] <Wutenheimer> i stopped at 20k
- [2011-12-05 01:15:25] <TheBeardiestBob> What explanation do you offer for this apparent cognitive dissonance?
- [2011-12-05 01:15:35] <TheBeardiestBob> What have you admitted to being wrong about on this chat?
- [2011-12-05 01:15:44] <MrTT> you know the people who say "my X died" and you say "I am sorry" and they say "Why are you apologizing you didn't do it!"
- [2011-12-05 01:15:48] <Grail> Dunno, maybe you want the achievement for having a ridiculous amount of gold?
- [2011-12-05 01:15:51] <MrTT> This argument you are doing is like that
- [2011-12-05 01:16:16] <TheBeardiestBob> Why do you not recognize a taste of your own medicine, converting endless correction to endless questioning?
- [2011-12-05 01:16:20] <Ironybot> Bob, since you may not have noticed this yet- http://tgchan.org/wiki/Guns_for_Hire_Minions is now a thing.
- [2011-12-05 01:16:35] <MrTT> are you saying that you are doing it intentionally to teach me a lesson?
- [2011-12-05 01:16:50] <TheBeardiestBob> How is that page accessed from the root page of the GfH wiki? I didn't spot the linkage
- [2011-12-05 01:17:00] <Ironybot> The idea is that we will all keep track of our minions and their profiles there, so that you (and us) can easily reference them rather than mucking about in the discussion thread looking for things.
- [2011-12-05 01:17:04] <TheBeardiestBob> Why can you not recognize that it need not be meant to be a lesson?
- [2011-12-05 01:17:11] <MrTT> because I explicitly stated at the begining that you are doing something I thought you hated and that I sometimes do and shouldn't... so apparently i did recognize it
- [2011-12-05 01:17:18] -->| EvilP (~kvirc@AD3B21DE.2DA30C31.D7075014.IP) has joined #golemquest
- [2011-12-05 01:17:22] <Ironybot> I... don't think it's actually been added to the GfH actual quest wiki page.
- [2011-12-05 01:17:25] <Grail> Though Speech does have some important perks in it's tree
- [2011-12-05 01:17:26] <Shifter31> It's not actually linked on GfH mainpage yet...
- [2011-12-05 01:17:35] <Grail> Someone should fix that
- [2011-12-05 01:17:40] <Grail> Do you want to do it Irony?
- [2011-12-05 01:17:42] <MrTT> "a taste of your own medicine", and "Why can you not recognize that it need not be meant to be a lesson?"
- [2011-12-05 01:17:43] <MrTT> wtf?
- [2011-12-05 01:17:45] <Ironybot> Sure.
- [2011-12-05 01:17:55] <MrTT> a taste of your own medicine explicitly states its a lesson
- [2011-12-05 01:18:04] <MrTT> unless my understanding of that english saying is faulty
- [2011-12-05 01:18:38] <TheBeardiestBob> why does 'taste of your own medicine' imply a lesson?
- [2011-12-05 01:18:47] <MrTT> "teaching you a lesson"
- [2011-12-05 01:18:48] <TheBeardiestBob> what part of the phrase implies a lesson is meant?
- [2011-12-05 01:18:59] <TheBeardiestBob> why did you change phrases?
- [2011-12-05 01:19:00] <MrTT> teaching you a lesson can also be beating someone up
- [2011-12-05 01:19:03] -->| TMIoverload (~chatzilla@A12FD61F.50C091BF.BEBEC030.IP) has joined #golemquest
- [2011-12-05 01:19:08] <Ironybot> Should I just stick a link at the top of the page, since honestly the Guns for Hire wiki page is so absurdly bulky that putting it anywhere else would make it almost impossible to find/notice?
- [2011-12-05 01:19:16] <MrTT> "<MrTT> are you saying that you are doing it intentionally to teach me a lesson?"
- [2011-12-05 01:19:21] <MrTT> I explicitly said "teaching me a lesson"
- [2011-12-05 01:19:22] <TheBeardiestBob> That seems best Ironybot
- [2011-12-05 01:19:25] <Ironybot> At some point soon we should put a "related pages" section in there and start pulling out information.
- [2011-12-05 01:19:26] <MrTT> which is a turn of phrase in english
- [2011-12-05 01:19:42] <TheBeardiestBob> Why are you quoting what you said to justify an interpretation of a different person's words?
- [2011-12-05 01:19:48] <TheBeardiestBob> What logic backs up this jump?
- [2011-12-05 01:20:09] <MrTT> aren't you a native english speaker bob?
- [2011-12-05 01:20:37] <MrTT> I Shouldn't have to explain to you what a turn of phrase means.
- [2011-12-05 01:21:07] <Ironybot> There, link added.
- [2011-12-05 01:21:11] <TheBeardiestBob> Why do you seem so certain one of several meanings to a phrase is relevant in it's usage this time?
- [2011-12-05 01:21:19] <Grail> Does the quest wiki have a collapsing feature in it?
- [2011-12-05 01:21:32] <TheBeardiestBob> What shows I was definitively using that specific meaning of 'taste of your own medicine' in this instance?
- [2011-12-05 01:21:36] <Ironybot> No, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. I've checked a couple times.
- [2011-12-05 01:21:48] <MrTT> also... i quoted what I said to counter the accusation of me changing the wording... specifially "<TheBeardiestBob> why did you change phrases?"
- [2011-12-05 01:21:48] <Ironybot> I even requested that they add such a feature once, but that didn't work out.
- [2011-12-05 01:21:54] <MrTT> I quoted it to show I did not change the phrase
- [2011-12-05 01:21:56] <Grail> Ah what did they say?
- [2011-12-05 01:22:05] <TheBeardiestBob> Why have you switched what you are defending?
- [2011-12-05 01:22:18] <Grail> Or did they not say anything at all?
- [2011-12-05 01:22:23] <MrTT> http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/taste+of+your+own+medicine.html
- [2011-12-05 01:22:28] <MrTT> If you give someone a taste of their own medicine, you do something bad to someone that they have done to you to teach them a lesson.
- [2011-12-05 01:22:54] <MrTT> thats a quote btw
- [2011-12-05 01:22:56] <Ironybot> Honestly I can't really remember this late at night and after this amount of time, but I recall it being something along the lines of "we don't have a feature like that and don't really need one", though more politely.
- [2011-12-05 01:23:06] <MrTT> it might not seem like one since its verbatim what i was claiming earlier
- [2011-12-05 01:23:22] <Ironybot> There are only a few specific pages- like Guns for Hire- that would make use of it, so I imagine there's not a ton of incentive there.
- [2011-12-05 01:23:28] <TheBeardiestBob> Why do you assume a single repository of information's definition of a given widely used phrase is the definitive meaning of it?
- [2011-12-05 01:23:33] <Grail> I expected as much, the wiki isn't really used for other quests the way we use it for GQ or GfH
- [2011-12-05 01:24:19] <MrTT> I have never seen another interpretation of it. I just googled it and the first result matched what isaid verbatim... if you have another interpretation please share it
- [2011-12-05 01:24:26] <MrTT> we might even find citation for it
- [2011-12-05 01:25:16] <MrTT> but to answer a question you asked long ago... I assume you meant that interptetation because its the only interptetation I know of for that idiom and because I have cited sources showing the same
- [2011-12-05 01:25:49] <MrTT> is it even still "assuming" if you are basing it on cited knowledge?
- [2011-12-05 01:26:26] <MrTT> btw bob... i am pretty sure you are not really attacking me and just playing a game where you turn everything i say into "why do you assume"
- [2011-12-05 01:26:35] <MrTT> this I am assuming
- [2011-12-05 01:26:41] <MrTT> :)
- [2011-12-05 01:27:18] <MrTT> reminds me of my friend who goes "good story, could have used a vampire" on everything I tell him... which really really gets under my skin
- [2011-12-05 01:29:06] <Ralith> good story, could have used a vampire
- [2011-12-05 01:29:23] * MrTT foams at the mouth a bit

- [2011-12-05 01:57:52] <ManOfZeon> Yay, update!
- [2011-12-05 01:58:16] <TheBeardiestBob> For those curious, you still need more haggling to get an upgrade in trait
- [2011-12-05 01:58:48] <ManOfZeon> Well, if we give you one of our Ms could we get two upgrades to haggling?
- [2011-12-05 01:58:59] <ManOfZeon> [trying to gain haggling via meta-haggling]
- [2011-12-05 02:01:25] <Alratan> Ah Bob
- [2011-12-05 02:01:32] <Alratan> you may have misunderstoof
- [2011-12-05 02:01:39] <Alratan> the gold sellers don't sell gold
- [2011-12-05 02:01:58] <Alratan> I explained in my second post
- [2011-12-05 02:02:07] <Alratan> and gave a link
- [2011-12-05 02:02:12] <Alratan> but you may have missed it whilst I was reposting

- [2011-12-05 02:04:17] <TheBeardiestBob> Yeah, going to default to 'Einrik in point of fact knows gold sells that actually CARRY gold in Gold Seller alley-because that's what he's looked for when there before'
- [2011-12-05 02:04:21] <TheBeardiestBob> So pipe down
- [2011-12-05 02:04:45] <TheBeardiestBob> Actually I wonder about that phrase
- [2011-12-05 02:04:54] <TheBeardiestBob> how did 'pipe down' become a way to shush someone?
- [2011-12-05 02:05:14] <TheBeardiestBob> I mean, the only pipes I can think it to reference would merely be dropping in octave
- [2011-12-05 02:06:01] <Alratan> it's musical, as you think
- [2011-12-05 02:06:13] <Ironybot> The whole summer body/winter soul thing seems like it should have meaningful implications for us and our powerset if we can think through exactly what they are.
- [2011-12-05 02:06:40] <Alratan> I ssupect we need to grow our SUmmer blood line in strength
- [2011-12-05 02:06:51] <Ironybot> I'm too tired to work through it now, but there's something there.
- [2011-12-05 02:06:52] <Alratan> and aspect our body more towards winter
- [2011-12-05 02:08:32] <Alratan> Well, we didn't do any of the things I actually considered important in the day
- [2011-12-05 02:08:33] <Alratan> sigh
- [2011-12-05 02:08:52] <Alratan> what a waste of time that post was
- [2011-12-05 02:13:00] <MrTT> i prefer we keep the balanced winter/summer approach
- [2011-12-05 02:13:24] <MrTT> and in fact find some taoism yin/yang thing to make the whole thing smoother
- [2011-12-05 02:13:28] <MrTT> borders might help there
- [2011-12-05 02:14:50] <MrTT> alratan, we had a random encounter
- [2011-12-05 02:14:59] <MrTT> those are usually good...
- [2011-12-05 02:15:16] <MrTT> even when they are bad (bastard cut off our arm!) they are still heralds of big things
