[17:24]	Dromuthra	Yay, power-gen!
[17:24]	Faustus	Okay, so first thing you do is roll $trigger
[17:24]	Dromuthra	Don't you want to use $used?
[17:24]	Neuromute	here i am
[17:25]	Neuromute	I was thinking of some trigger ideas
[17:25]	Faustus	Yeah, sure, use $used real quick
[17:25]	Dromuthra	Oh, we have a bunch
[17:25]	Neuromute	$used
[17:25]	[ATM]	Neuromute {480}: Your SO was controlling. What you wore, what you said, what you thought, they wanted to control every last bit of it. It was smothering - you felt like you couldn't breathe under the pressure. So you broke things off, cut contact. You run in the same circles, and they've managed to dress it up as some sob story.
[17:25]	[ATM]	Everyone around you is now pressuring you back into a relationship with them, and no matter how you try to explain it, nobody listens. Unable to bear the constant pressure, trapped by your social group, you finally, sulkily, go back to them. As they put one possessive hand on your shoulder, you trigger.
[17:25]	Neuromute
[17:25]	Dromuthra	Hmmm, interesting
[17:26]	Faustus	This is one of our used triggers
[17:26]	Faustus	now during power gen, it's customary to stay silent
[17:26]	Neuromute	the reason I was thinking of some myself is because I could have realistically triggered in real life
[17:26]	Neuromute	if I was in the wormverse
[17:27]	Neuromute	so I wanted to use one of my real life events as a trigger
[17:27]	Neuromute	for realism
[17:28]	Neuromute	thoughts?
[17:28]	-->|	Divock (Divock@net-3sossb.al.comcast.net) has joined #gamedesign
[17:29]	Faustus	That's okay
[17:29]	Neuromute	sorry if I made things awkward
[17:29]	Dromuthra	I'm down to help
[17:29]	Mishie	well
[17:29]	Mishie	since this isn't for a game
[17:30]	Dromuthra	So, usually the person getting the power doesn't have a say in how it develops; the power gets made by a discussion of the others in the chat.
[17:30]	Mishie	I don't really see any reason why couldn't write a trigger and then run through genning it
[17:30]	Neuromute	yeah
[17:30]	Mishie	and although Neuromute wouldn't contribute to designing the power, can at least ask questions about the decisions people are making
[17:30]	Dromuthra	Yup!
[17:31]	Dromuthra	This'll be a nice break from reading up about law schools for me.
[17:31]	Neuromute	so I'll write some potential trigger events (I'll be vague about the actual events) and then you guys take it from there?
[17:31]	Neuromute	that ok?
[17:31]	Dromuthra	Eh, it would probably be better to pick one
[17:32]	Mishie	Just start with working on a single one
[17:32]	Faustus	Yeah, better to have that focus
[17:32]	Mishie	And people can go over it
[17:34]	Mishie	pastebin is an easy way to do it btw
[17:34]	Wildbow	Or a google doc
[17:35]	Wildbow	Welcome, btw, nute.
[17:35]	Neuromute	so I have events relating to anger, frustration, depression, and mental helplessness (peing in a shitty place and not knowing what to do, kinda blends in with the frustration one)
[17:35]	Wildbow	Peeing in a shitty place?
[17:35]	Wildbow	Might need more context.
[17:35]	Neuromute	being*
[17:36]	Neuromute	so 3 separate events I could use
[17:37]	Neuromute	which one should I detail?
[17:37]	Faustus	$roll 1d3
[17:37]	[ATM]	Faustus [2]  = 2
[17:37]	Wildbow	Best if you write 'em down
[17:37]	Faustus	There
[17:37]	Neuromute	by detail I mean give emotional context
[17:38]	Wildbow	Situational context matters too
[17:38]	Neuromute	I can give that to
[17:38]	|<--	Divock has left irc.parahumans.net (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client)
[17:38]	Neuromute	and I can be vague if it makes anyone uncomfortable
[17:38]	Faustus	If you want an example, PM Cashy $trigger
[17:39]	Neuromute	also holy shit are you actually wildbow?
[17:39]	Faustus	You don't need to worry about making us too uncomfortable
[17:39]	Wildbow	Are you Wildbow, Faustus?
[17:39]	Dromuthra	^This was my reaction the first time Bow responded to me too
[17:39]	Dromuthra	T.T Ninj'd
[17:39]	Faustus	Nah, he's a cardboard standee we keep around
[17:39]	Faustus	Yes, I am Wildbow

[17:39]	Dromuthra	*snerk*
[17:39]	Wildbow	Hmm.  Not handsome enough to be him, I think.
[17:39]	dragonkid11	Huh, neat channel
[17:40]	Neuromute	just want to say I finished worm yesterday and it was one of the best, if not the best thing I have ever read
[17:40]	Faustus	Thank you
[17:41]	Neuromute	it also helped me out while I was in a bad place emotionally
[17:41]	Neuromute	but yeah, beck to trigger stuff
[17:41]	Wildbow	Am glad, Nute.
[17:41]	Neuromute
[17:42]	Neuromute	so which of the three events should I use?
[17:43]	Dromuthra	Faust rolled a d3 - think the result was a 2?
[17:43]	Faustus	The one that you find most interesting
[17:43]	Faustus	I somehow don't think he has an itemized list of his worst moment
[17:43]	Faustus	*moments
[17:44]	Neuromute	2 would be the frustration one
[17:44]	Faustus	I stand corrected
[17:44]	Neuromute	of the ones I listed before
[17:44]	Dromuthra	Faust is right though - whichever you think is the most interesting
[17:44]	Wildbow	Start with second most interesting, move on to least interesting, wrap up with most interesting.
[17:44]	Wildbow	Helps maintain interest throughout
[17:44]	Dromuthra	^Genius
[17:45]	Faustus	Just like worm!
[17:45]	Wildbow	Also strong approach for essay organization
[17:45]	=-=	Faustus was booted from #gamedesign by Wildbow ()
[17:45]	Wildbow	Whoops
[17:45]	-->|	Faustus (uid186758@highgate.irccloud.com) has joined #gamedesign
[17:45]	Wildbow	Finger slipped
[17:45]	Dromuthra	Savage
[17:45]	Faustus	It was too easy, I'm sorry
[17:46]	Neuromute	alright, give me a bit to write them out
[17:48]	Hierophant	Neuromute, I just saw your messages. I'm heading off soon, but intersted to see what you've cooked up. Is it okay if you PM it to me so I have the logs?
[17:48]	Neuromute	sure
[17:48]	Wildbow	What time zone are you in, Nute?
[17:49]	Neuromute	central
[17:49]	Neuromute	usa
[17:49]	Neuromute	MN
[17:53]	Pink	my condolences
[17:53]	Neuromute	Frustration: 15 years old, in school, "friends" are making fun of me/bullying me after a botched social interaction, I don't understand why they are doing this or what I did wrong, I did my best, I'm angry, hurt, and confused, I want to lash out but I can't because of rules, I want to say something that would make them respect and like me but I can
[17:53]	Neuromute	't because I don't know how (aspergers). in essence; lots of anger and sadness and resentment and betrayal and confusion
[17:54]	Neuromute	that's the most interesting because of all the emotions involved
[17:57]	Faustus	Was this part of an ongoing issue
[17:57]	Neuromute	used to be, not any more
[17:57]	Dromuthra	But at the time it was.
[17:57]	Dromuthra	?
[17:58]	Neuromute	yep
[17:58]	Faustus	Tinker with Master element
[17:58]	Dromuthra	Sounds about right
[17:58]	Neuromute	usally came to a head all at once though
[17:58]	Wildbow	If you want to wait until tomorrow, I won't be writing, so I can chime in
[17:58]	-->|	Zeikos (uid146927@brockwell.irccloud.com) has joined #gamedesign
[17:58]	Neuromute	but wait, I have 2 more events left!
[17:58]	Neuromute	also, sure I can wait
[17:59]	Faustus	That would be better, I'm a bit worn out. Post some of the others in a pastebin
[17:59]	Neuromute	np
[17:59]	Dromuthra	Or, if you want to write them all out in a google doc so they're all prepped for tomorrow, that would work too.
[17:59]	Neuromute	I think I'll do that
[18:00]	Zeikos	\o
[18:00]	Neuromute	when should I come back tomorrow?
[18:02]	|<--	Hierophant has left irc.parahumans.net (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
[18:03]	Dromuthra	Evenings are generally good for people.
[18:03]	Neuromute	alright
[18:03]	Neuromute	I'll come back then
[18:03]	Neuromute	thanks all
[18:03]	Wildbow	Or you could stick around.
[18:03]	Wildbow	Just lurk in general.
[18:04]	Neuromute	or that
[18:04]	Neuromute	I might
[18:04]	Neuromute	who knows
[18:04]	Neuromute	it's a mystery
[18:04]	Dromuthra	It's what I usually do haha
