Juan contacts Faerzen

[00:47] <engimaticMobster> Hey hombre, I got a note tellin' me to talk to ya' about sprites or other.
[00:47] <engimaticMobster> I'm just wonderin' if ya' know anythin' about that?
[00:47] <visceralVanguard> Hello?
[00:47] <visceralVanguard> I beg your pardon, but who might this be?
[00:48] <visceralVanguard> I'm afraid I don't recognize your chat handle
[00:49] <engimaticMobster> I don't particularly recognize yours either, but I had a note with ya' name on it.
[00:50] <visceralVanguard> ?
[00:50] <visceralVanguard> I'm terribly confused.
[00:50] <engimaticMobster> Well, nevermind that
[00:51] <engimaticMobster> The name's Juan, pleased to meet ya'.
[00:51] <visceralVanguard> Pleasure to meet you to! Whoever you are....
[00:51] <visceralVanguard> My name is Faerzen.
[00:52] <visceralVanguard> If you don't mind me asking, how did you come across my chat handle?
[00:52] <engimaticMobster> It was stuck on a note someplace
[00:52] <visceralVanguard> I don't believe I publicized it terribly much on the Faucet forums
[00:53] <visceralVanguard> Someplace? Someplace such as.....?
[00:53] <engimaticMobster> Damn thing popped up with a message askin' about sprites
[00:53] <visceralVanguard> Sprites?
[00:53] <visceralVanguard> Are you playing this SABATH game as well then?
[00:53] <engimaticMobster> It was on a shelf 'n my house
[00:53] <engimaticMobster> And I am, yah
[00:54] <visceralVanguard> Hold on a brief moment, let me pull up some logs.
[00:54] <visceralVanguard> Oh, so you are!
[00:54] <engimaticMobster> Mmkay
[00:54] <visceralVanguard> I thought your chat handle sounded vaguely familiar for some reason.
[00:55] <engimaticMobster> How's it familiar?
[00:55] <visceralVanguard> We appear to be playing on the same team. Do you recall being added to a memo of some sorts for no apparent reason a while back?
[00:56] <engimaticMobster> Nup, not quite
[00:56] <engimaticMobster> Mind tellin' me about it?
[00:56] <visceralVanguard> Some untraceable source connected several seemingly random chat handles together in a memo and then left before anyone was the wiser.
[00:56] <visceralVanguard> You must have missed the notification because your chat handle is definitely one of the ones listed here.
[00:57] <visceralVanguard> I'm afraid the memo wasn't terribly productive anyways. Those of us who were conversing there were rather..... preoccupied with other matters.
[00:58] <visceralVanguard> Do you know anyone else who is playing this game? Perhaps the person you connected to or the person who connected to you?
[00:58] <engimaticMobster> Nup, as of now you're the only person I know of.
[00:59] <visceralVanguard> Did you not ever connect to someone on your computer then?
[00:59] <engimaticMobster> Per'aps we could restart the mem or somethin'
[01:00] == rascalywabit has changed nick to [IF]
[01:00] <visceralVanguard> Yes, that could be a very useful thing to do.
[01:01] <visceralVanguard> Well then, seeing as you appear to be rather isolated in your experiences with this game, I suppose I should inform you what is going on?
[01:01] <visceralVanguard> You asked me about sprites? Did you have a particular question?
[01:03] <engimaticMobster> Well, I suppose just in general really
[01:03] <engimaticMobster> Just tell me what ya' know about this game.
[01:04] <visceralVanguard> Oh ho ho, that is a big question!
[01:04] <visceralVanguard> I suppose I won't need to go into every last detail if you can obtain a functioning sprite.
[01:05] <visceralVanguard> Do you have one at the moment? That strange glowing orb that was flashing?
[01:06] <engimaticMobster> Well, I've got a walkin' kasa hat, so probs
[01:07] <visceralVanguard> What is a kasa hat?
[01:07] <visceralVanguard> And are you able to communicate with your sprite?
[01:08] <engimaticMobster> It's a hat that's sort of circular
[01:08] <engimaticMobster> And it sort of makes retarded noises, so not really
[01:09] <visceralVanguard> Ah
[01:10] <visceralVanguard> Well, as you have probably noticed, when you place an object inside the sprite, the sprite absorbs it and becomes that object
[01:10] <visceralVanguard> If you insert an inanimate object, the sprite takes on traits of that object and SABATH somehow personifies that object as well
[01:11] <visceralVanguard> If you insert an object that is dead but was once a living being, then the sprite will become that being with the same personality and memories of that being
[01:11] <engimaticMobster> So, how do I get the damn thing ta' talk?
[01:11] <visceralVanguard> I presume the same thing occurs if you insert an alive object the same thing happens.
[01:11] <visceralVanguard> By doing just that!
[01:11] <visceralVanguard> You need to insert a second object into the sprite
[01:12] <visceralVanguard> So think carefully about what you would like to be talking with!
[01:12] <engimaticMobster> Right, so somethin' that's alive needs to go in there.
[01:12] <engimaticMobster> And can talk
[01:12] <visceralVanguard> Not necessarily, but something that is or was reasonably intelligent would contribute to a more helpful sprite
[01:13] <visceralVanguard> Someone else on our team inserted a mound of terrible food and that did not end up turning out very well.
[01:13] <visceralVanguard> I inserted a computer matrix with intelligence and it has been very informative
[01:13] <visceralVanguard> If you think well, your sprite can be an excellent guide and companion in the game!
[01:14] <visceralVanguard> As long as you don't put anything in the sprite you wouldn't wish to converse with, you should be fine.
[01:16] <visceralVanguard> Once you insert the second item, you should be able to communicate with your sprite and they can assist you.
[01:16] <visceralVanguard> As long as you are here, I may as well give you a couple pieces of information I believe will serve you well.
[01:17] <engimaticMobster> Right, that sounds like an idea.
[01:17] <visceralVanguard> There are monsters in this world, and killing them gives you a material called grist, which can be used for two things. You can use it to make items and the person who connected to you can use it to build structures onto your house.
[01:18] <visceralVanguard> I do not know who it was that placed the machines in your house in the first place, but undoubtedly they are on our team as well.
[01:18] <visceralVanguard> Off in another place there is a battle raging between two powerful kingdoms, and the kingdom of darkness will most definitely win. Our goal as a team is to bring down the leaders of that kingdom.
[01:18] <engimaticMobster> Alright, I already found some of that "Grist" stuff.
[01:19] <visceralVanguard> That is quite some time in the future though!
[01:19] <engimaticMobster> What's this about kingdoms now?
[01:19] <visceralVanguard> It seems as though every single one of us on this team has our own planet.
[01:19] <visceralVanguard> By the way, what is yours like?
[01:20] <visceralVanguard> I am simply curious, if you do not mind me asking! :)
[01:24] <engimaticMobster> Pretty grassy with some sky prisms and shit
[01:24] <engimaticMobster> And a lot of glass
[01:25] <visceralVanguard> Interesting. That sounds very beautiful!
[01:25] <engimaticMobster> Yeah, it's real damn picturesque
[01:25] <engimaticMobster> 'Cept for the freaking imps
[01:26] <engimaticMobster> I just killed two of 'em
[01:26] <visceralVanguard> Oh, does that mean you've been able to go exploring then?
[01:26] <visceralVanguard> How did you fare in your altercation?
[01:26] <visceralVanguard> I hope you're okay! D:
[01:26] <engimaticMobster> Nup, the screwballs just got into ma' house
[01:26] <engimaticMobster> I'm fine though
[01:26] <engimaticMobster> Can't say the same for them.
[01:27] <visceralVanguard> That's good to hear! I'm sorry to say that the imps don't stop. :( They only keep coming, and eventually larger monsters follow!
[01:27] <visceralVanguard> Hehehe, I'll be you showed them who's boss. :)
[01:29] <engimaticMobster> Yeah, ain't nothing gonna survive facing up to me
[01:29] <engimaticMobster> I'm a one man army with this freaking tommygun
[01:30] <engimaticMobster> They didn't last too long
[01:32] <visceralVanguard> It seems we all have our own planets, but in addition to that, there are two kingdoms called Prospit and Derse.
[01:32] <visceralVanguard> Prospit is gold, Derse a deep purple
[01:32] <visceralVanguard> You may find yourself dreaming about one of them
[01:32] <visceralVanguard> They have been embroiled in a war for quite some time
[01:33] <engimaticMobster> Nup, haven't seen either
[01:33] <engimaticMobster> Yet again, I haven't really had a real good time falling to sleep
[01:33] <visceralVanguard> Understandable.
[01:33] <engimaticMobster> That ain't exactly my specialty considering the shit I deal with.
[01:34] <visceralVanguard> Prospit is apparently going to lose this war no matter what, and the king of Derse will end up being a formidable enemy we will need to defeat as a team.
[01:34] <visceralVanguard> Oh, is that so? I'm sorry to hear that. :(
[01:34] <engimaticMobster> Yeah, don't worry about it
[01:34] <engimaticMobster> I've always had that problem
[01:35] <visceralVanguard> I'm afraid I can't say this game is any easier to deal with. No matter how much you think you are prepared, it always seems to have another unwanted surprise waiting around the corner!
[01:37] <engimaticMobster> Well, I'll keep that in mind then
[01:38] <visceralVanguard> Have you tried making items on the alchemiter yet?
[01:38] <visceralVanguard> Here, just a minute.
[01:38] <visceralVanguard> There can you still hear me?
[01:38] <engimaticMobster> Yeah, but I don't see much of a point making the same shit.
[01:38] <visceralVanguard> I mean read me I guess
[01:38] <engimaticMobster> And yeah, I can
[01:39] <visceralVanguard> I turned on the speech transcriber so I can work on my alchemiter at the same time
[01:39] <engimaticMobster> I don't see the point of just creatin' the same shit though
[01:39] <engimaticMobster> I mean, it just replicates stuff
[01:39] <visceralVanguard> Yes, it is rather limited, isn't it
[01:39] <engimaticMobster> Yeah, it certainly is
[01:39] <visceralVanguard> Replicating can be useful in some instances, but that is only the begining!
[01:39] <engimaticMobster> Wait, there's more?
[01:39] <visceralVanguard> This is where you will be needing the grist!
[01:40] <visceralVanguard> So you can create an object if you have the code, correct?
[01:40] <visceralVanguard> But normally you only have the code if you already have the object.
[01:40] <visceralVanguard> Leading to a simple replication.
[01:40] <visceralVanguard> What if it were possible to obtain the code for an item that you don't have? Then you could create something completely new!
[01:41] <engimaticMobster> Like a shitty sword that sucks ass? Because I've already got one of those.
[01:41] <engimaticMobster> If you've got any solutions on how to find codes for cool shit, then I'm all ears
[01:41] <visceralVanguard> There is actually quite a regular method for generating reliable codes!
[01:42] <visceralVanguard> I would imagine it would be difficult to randomly guess them without using one of these methods
[01:42] <visceralVanguard> Are you familiar with logical bitwise operations?
[01:46] <visceralVanguard> It is perfectly fine if you are not. I will simply not need to explain much if you already are.
[01:47] <visceralVanguard> Well, I shall provide a very brief summary then. If you punch two cards with two different codes and then overlay the two cards so there are only holes where holes in both original cards line up, that is one method
[01:47] <engimaticMobster> I don't even know what that is
[01:48] <engimaticMobster> One method?
[01:48] <visceralVanguard> Or, if you insert a card that you've already punched with one code back into the designix and punch it again, then that is the other method
[01:48] <engimaticMobster> So there are others then, sounds sweet.
[01:48] <visceralVanguard> Both of those strategies seem to combine the original two codes in various ways
[01:49] <visceralVanguard> So, for example, if you start with a shield and a cloak and you combine the two codes, you might end up with a cloak made out of shields
[01:50] <visceralVanguard> But who knows! Sometimes it is rather unpredictable.
[01:50] <visceralVanguard> For example, right now I am combining some rather interesting objects.
[01:50] <visceralVanguard> And I have no idea what it will make!
[01:50] <visceralVanguard> If you have some grist saved up, it may be worth combining various items together to improve your weapons and equipment.
[01:51] <visceralVanguard> Oh, that combination was particularly anticlimactic.
[01:51] <visceralVanguard> Hrmph.
[01:51] <visceralVanguard> Have you decided what to put in your sprite?
[01:51] <engimaticMobster> What are th' objects you combined?
[01:52] <engimaticMobster> Perhaps one of those imps could do tha' trick
[01:52] <visceralVanguard> I combined a cloak and a chunk of flammable phosphorous
[01:52] <visceralVanguard> I don't know if that would be a good idea!
[01:52] <visceralVanguard> The sprite takes on the personality and memories of whatever you throw in, and those imps certainly seem to be troublemakers!
[01:52] <engimaticMobster> Prob'ly not
[01:53] <visceralVanguard> I would put in something you're relatively certain will be helpful to you.
[01:53] <visceralVanguard> Or something you would get along well with.
[01:53] <engimaticMobster> Perhaps they might be troublemakers, but I dunno what else I can do
[01:53] <engimaticMobster> At least they're communicable
[01:53] <engimaticMobster> And yes, I'm real sure that that's a word.
[01:54] <visceralVanguard> It doesn't necessarily have to be something that can talk. I inserted a hat and a computer game into mine and it has been a breeze to talk with.
[01:54] <visceralVanguard> I'm sure you'll figCLSKADMCALKSDJCALSKDMCASLDKJC
[01:54] <visceralVanguard> AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh
