  1. (3:58:42 PM) ***alkalineTonic has joined the memo
  2. (3:59:31 PM) alkalineTonic: Isz there an accepted way to deal with a coplayer who dragsz the team behind?
  3. (3:59:56 PM) dementedDemolisher: TALK TO THEM
  4. (4:00:14 PM) dementedDemolisher: AND SAY THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO MOVE THEIR ASS
  5. (4:00:32 PM) dementedDemolisher: OR THEY WILL BE LEFT BEHIND AND UNDERLINGS WILL EAT THEM
  6. (4:01:23 PM) dibsOut: .............. union with them............................?
  7. (4:02:06 PM) dementedDemolisher: THAT IS A GOOD IDEA TOO
  8. (4:02:08 PM) alkalineTonic: They are both physzically crippled and unable to motivate themszelves without help.
  9. (4:03:18 PM) lovelyCreativity: well, you could possibly give them support through prosthetics, and possibly talk with them.
  10. (4:03:32 PM) alkalineTonic: Talking to them isz uszeleszsz outszide of telling them exactly what to do.
  11. (4:04:06 PM) lovelyCreativity: you just need to get them out of a cycle of subservience. it's actually really hard.
  12. (4:04:28 PM) lovelyCreativity: i remember when i was actually going through a 'i'm completely useless' phase.
  13. (4:04:42 PM) lovelyCreativity: oh, i forgot to say hello, didn't i?
  14. (4:04:44 PM) lovelyCreativity: hello everyone.
  15. (4:05:00 PM) alkalineTonic: It hasz been perigeesz and they have not even performed their Knell yet.
  16. (4:05:55 PM) ***timedZephyr has joined the memo!
  17. (4:06:27 PM) timedZephyr: hello :3
  18. (4:06:44 PM) alkalineTonic: We have already killed our Denizensz, for compariszon.
  19. (4:07:25 PM) timedZephyr: hmm?
  20. (4:07:36 PM) lovelyCreativity: some people are slower than others at tasks.
  21. (4:07:40 PM) alkalineTonic: Hello.
  22. (4:08:14 PM) lovelyCreativity: it took me one sweep to perform my first knell. it was a nightmare, i was a wreck and there were some ready to cull me.
  23. (4:08:22 PM) lovelyCreativity: i wanted to be culled, i felt so useless.
  24. (4:08:32 PM) lovelyCreativity: but i had friends who backed me up, and i did finish the knell.
  25. (4:09:31 PM) timedZephyr: ah, having trouble with coplayers?
  26. (4:10:27 PM) alkalineTonic: Yesz.
  27. (4:11:25 PM) alkalineTonic: One of them isz dragging the reszt of usz behind.
  28. (4:11:34 PM) timedZephyr: have you considered culling them?
  29. (4:11:46 PM) timedZephyr: or is their aspect too important to be without?
  30. (4:12:02 PM) alkalineTonic: I have. The Blood player szaysz that he will cull usz if we do.
  31. (4:12:17 PM) ***mislaidLullaby has connected to memo!
  32. (4:12:25 PM) timedZephyr: hello mislul
  33. (4:12:30 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Evening |>
  34. (4:12:35 PM) timedZephyr: hm, the blood player won't let you cull them?
  35. (4:12:50 PM) alkalineTonic: He then told me to aszk you playersz here.
  36. (4:13:04 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Explain the situation to me, please? |>
  37. (4:13:19 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| I cannot provide input without basic understanding, after all |>
  38. (4:13:22 PM) timedZephyr: do you have a good heart player?
  39. (4:13:30 PM) alkalineTonic: No.
  40. (4:13:31 PM) timedZephyr: they might be able to mess with their motivation enough to get them moving
  41. (4:13:32 PM) timedZephyr: damn
  42. (4:13:40 PM) alkalineTonic: We have Szpace, Time, Life, and Blood.
  43. (4:13:41 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| A Rage player? |>
  44. (4:13:44 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Hm |>
  45. (4:14:38 PM) alkalineTonic: MiszlaidLullaby, one of my coplayersz hasz been acting asz a millsztone around the neck of the szeszszion.
  46. (4:15:23 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| So you contemplated removing them and continuing on |>
  47. (4:15:40 PM) alkalineTonic: They cannot think for themszelf and are crippled at that.
  48. (4:15:45 PM) alkalineTonic: Yesz.
  49. (4:15:56 PM) timedZephyr: it would be a mercy culling then, why won't the blood player let you cull them?
  50. (4:16:31 PM) alkalineTonic: He wantsz everyone alive at the end of the szeszszion.
  51. (4:16:57 PM) alkalineTonic: I szupposze he hasz hisz reaszonsz.
  52. (4:17:04 PM) timedZephyr: hm.
  53. (4:17:25 PM) timedZephyr: and you don't have a heart player. so that option is out. and you don't have a rage player, so that option is also out.
  54. (4:17:27 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| I think I can safely say that if you were to pursue that course of action? The community that exists here would immediately move to shun you |>
  55. (4:18:10 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| They are not tolerant of people killing another player without reason, and I doubt they'd accept this as a valid one |>
  56. (4:18:21 PM) ***timedZephyr PMs alkalineTonic : (have you considered constructing an 'accident'? it could be a good way to get rid of that player without anyone being able to blame you for it)
  57. (4:18:23 PM) alkalineTonic: I am here to aszk for advice, not aszk about optionsz I have already been threatened for bringing up.
  58. (4:18:48 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| I take it it's your Life player, then? Hm |>
  59. (4:19:27 PM) ***alkalineTonic PMs timedZephyr (I will not. There are proceduresz for culling and accidentsz are not a part of that.)
  60. (4:19:45 PM) alkalineTonic: Yesz.
  61. (4:19:57 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| I'm sure there are more than enough abilities capable of undoing whatever damage there is that cripples them |>
  62. (4:20:02 PM) ***timedZephyr PMs alkalineTonic : (yes, i know there are procedures for culling. it is an option though, if they are dragging you down that much.)
  63. (4:20:08 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| More yet that would work as a 'reach around' regarding movement |>
  64. (4:20:29 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| As for being dependent on others to instruct them? Just UU with them and issue whatever orders are needed |>
  65. (4:21:11 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| It'll probably be tedious but it would definitely work |>
  66. (4:21:50 PM) ***alkalineTonic PMs timedZephyr (I cull. I do not kill.)
  67. (4:22:23 PM) alkalineTonic: What abilitiesz szhould I aszk them about?
  68. (4:22:45 PM) ***timedZephyr PMs alkalineTonic : (it isn't killing, it is getting rid of a weak link. and if you have to, cull the blood player and the life player. you only need time and space to win.)
  69. (4:23:26 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| I am no Life player, so I cannot name anything particular, but anything regarding healing in general may work |>
  70. (4:23:42 PM) ***alkalineTonic PMs timedZephyr (The Blood player hasz nothing cull-worthy about him. He isz in good physzical and mental health.)
  71. (4:26:37 PM) alkalineTonic: Do any of them repair long-term damage, rather than that causzed by fighting enemiesz?
  72. (4:27:07 PM) ***timedZephyr PMs alkalineTonic : (well by extension, he is also preventing the session from moving forward by not allowing you to cull the crippled player. )
  73. (4:27:18 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| If there isn't one pre-existing, figuring out a means of freestyling something shouldn't be too difficult |>
  74. (4:29:22 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| As I said, I'm no Life player. I've not much experience in the matter |>
  75. (4:30:49 PM) stanzicApparati [[email protected]] entered the room.
  76. (4:31:07 PM) ***alkalineTonic PMs timedZephyr (He isz doing hisz own queszts admirably quickly.)
  77. (4:31:23 PM) alkalineTonic: Isz there one on thisz chat-room?
  78. (4:31:51 PM) You are now known as ventricularPipefitter
  79. (4:32:03 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| The best I can think of is the one who made the healing items in the 'bin, ballisticSpectacle |>
  80. (4:32:04 PM) ***alkalineTonic PMs timedZephyr (And hasz been very helpful with our own.)
  81. (4:32:53 PM) alkalineTonic: Isz he here now?
  82. (4:33:33 PM) ***timedZephyr PMs alkalineTonic : ( well, sometimes you have to make sacrifices. and if that one player is slowing you down, and the blood player will not allow you to cull them, then it is a sensible option. he will end up preventing you in the future from making progress if you can't cull the life player)
  83. (4:33:36 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Afraid not |>
  84. (4:34:45 PM) ***alkalineTonic PMs timedZephyr (Regardleszsz, he hasz done nothing cull-worthy.)
  85. (4:35:21 PM) ***timedZephyr PMs alkalineTonic : (then keep an eye on him. if he slips up and does something cull-worthy, get rid of him. and then get rid of the life player. )
  86. (4:36:42 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter has returned from away.
  87. (4:36:57 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Hn. Right then.
  88. (4:37:19 PM) ventricularPipefitter: [>Ross: Scan the 'Who's Online' list.]
  89. (4:37:24 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Hello venpip |>
  90. (4:37:31 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Evening, Mislul. alkalineToxic, I don't believe we've met?
  91. (4:38:09 PM) timedZephyr: hello :3
  92. (4:38:24 PM) ventricularPipefitter: I see you, Croton.
  93. (4:38:47 PM) ***alkalineTonic PMs timedZephyr (Being cull-worthy isz not a matter of szlipping up. It iz a matter of having a pattern of szubverszive or treaszonousz thoughtsz, or of being unable to "pull your own weight" asz szome of my colleaguesz have called it.)
  94. (4:38:51 PM) alkalineTonic: Hello.
  95. (4:39:19 PM) alkalineTonic: We have not met. I juszt came on here szome minutesz ago.
  96. (4:39:44 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Mm. Welcome to the community, then. How did you find us?
  97. (4:40:07 PM) alkalineTonic: The Blood player told usz how to find thisz place.
  98. (4:40:10 PM) ***timedZephyr PMs alkalineTonic : (yes, well. it sure seems treasonous that he is preventing a mercy culling. )
  99. (4:40:37 PM) ***alkalineTonic PMs timedZephyr (That isz cruelty, not treaszon.)
  100. (4:40:38 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Ah, that so? Good on them. What's the handle?
  101. (4:41:12 PM) alkalineTonic: He szaid he hasz not been on perszonally in a long time. I doubt you have heard of him.
  102. (4:41:40 PM) ventricularPipefitter: I'm an old, old, hand. Try me. Or did they lurk?
  103. (4:42:02 PM) alkalineTonic: I do not know hisz habitsz prior to usz meeting.
  104. (4:43:11 PM) alkalineTonic: It isz sztormEyesz
  105. (4:43:33 PM) ventricularPipefitter: [>Ross: Run a quick search: ]
  106. (4:44:21 PM) ***timedZephyr PMs alkalineTonic : (it's not cruelty, it's keeping your session /moving/. you don't want to be caught in a dead session where one or two people end up getting the rest of you killed for their petty inability to let someone do their job)
  107. (4:44:28 PM) ventricularPipefitter: (( I'm figuring....been an Sb.org replayer for 2-4 sessions, however-many before that, kept quiet or lurked, didn't really give away that they were a troll?))
  108. (4:44:48 PM) alkalineTonic: ((Sounds about right yeah))
  109. (4:45:57 PM) ***alkalineTonic PMs timedZephyr (Again, there are reaszonsz for culling and reaszonsz for not. Thisz Game isz remarkably good at providing circumsztancesz not covered in the proceduresz.)
  110. (4:46:03 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Huh. Interesting.
  111. (4:46:24 PM) ventricularPipefitter: He's always been a quiet one, yes.
  112. (4:46:31 PM) ***alkalineTonic PMs timedZephyr (Petitioning for deferment isz not a reaszon to cull szomeone.)
  113. (4:47:33 PM) alkalineTonic: He told usz how to come here, and szuggeszted I do szo in order to determine what to do with our coplayer.
  114. (4:48:20 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Who's your co-player? Do they frequent here?
  115. (4:49:09 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Mislul" ( Why am I tempted to invent a six or an eight to give this troll to use for me? )
  116. (4:49:10 PM) alkalineTonic: They have mentioned it once or twice.
  117. (4:49:16 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Handle?
  118. (4:49:30 PM) alkalineTonic: vszOther001
  119. (4:49:56 PM) ***mislaidLullaby PMs "Venpip" ( <| Don't ask me. Your eight-and-eight isn't mine to decide |> )
  120. (4:50:00 PM) ***timedZephyr PMs alkalineTonic : (really? well. do you know /why/ this player won't let you cull them? because this is obviously a problem.)
  121. (4:50:16 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Ah, valski |>
  122. (4:50:54 PM) lovelyCreativity left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  123. (4:50:55 PM) ***alkalineTonic PMs timedZephyr (It isz a problem that isz being szolved asz we szpeak. They will have ideasz.)
  124. (4:50:58 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Nn. Valiant. How bad has she been?
  125. (4:51:29 PM) alkalineTonic: They have sztill not performed the Knell.
  126. (4:52:38 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You're worried about the former Pilot as dead weight, of course. How long's it been? Where are the rest of you? How's her physical fitness?
  127. (4:53:35 PM) ***timedZephyr PMs alkalineTonic : (i can see that. you don't have to follow my advice, but i wouldn't trust the humans to give you the best advice they can. they aren't fond of trolls)
  128. (4:54:31 PM) alkalineTonic: They can barely walk, and they only do thingsz when told directly.
  129. (4:54:54 PM) alkalineTonic: Their attemptsz at fighting enemiesz are... intereszting but ineffective.
  130. (4:55:18 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Nn? Elaborate.
  131. (4:55:24 PM) ***alkalineTonic PMs timedZephyr (Humansz?)
  132. (4:56:12 PM) ***timedZephyr PMs alkalineTonic : (venpip and mislul aren't trolls. they're aliens. humans specifically. they're squishy pink primates with bright red blood and no horns.)
  133. (4:56:55 PM) alkalineTonic: Her attemptsz at uszing a szpear are szomething to see.
  134. (4:57:19 PM) alkalineTonic: I have a quesztion, anonblood.
  135. (4:57:39 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Mm, I'd have my proper hue displayed, but the interface is poorly-designed. Go on?
  136. (4:57:56 PM) alkalineTonic: The purpleblood hasz juszt made an accuszation regarding your szpeciesz.
  137. (4:58:11 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Did she now. And what did Heries Croton say?
  138. (4:58:15 PM) alkalineTonic: Yoursz and that of the blueblood'sz.
  139. (4:58:33 PM) timedZephyr: oh ross, we know you and mislul aren't trolls
  140. (4:58:36 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| I see |>
  141. (4:59:10 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| My pumpbiscuit, it shudders to a halt |>
  142. (4:59:29 PM) ventricularPipefitter: And? Where are you going with this?
  143. (4:59:43 PM) timedZephyr: nothing, i was just making an obvservation
  144. (4:59:44 PM) timedZephyr: :3
  145. (4:59:48 PM) alkalineTonic: What isz a human and what relation doesz it have to the Empire?
  146. (5:00:34 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Venpip? You should probably handle this one |>
  147. (5:00:59 PM) ventricularPipefitter: With few exceptions, an alien species with land-based empires of their own that never extended beyond their native solar system, that never encountered the Alternian Empire, in any universe I have had the misfortune to Replay into.
  148. (5:01:37 PM) ***dementedDemolisher is back from idle
  149. (5:01:44 PM) dementedDemolisher: I AM SORTA WORKING OUT
  150. (5:01:48 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Socially, they are the majority species represented in the Sburb.org community, and if stormEyes suggested you come here and seek advice from us, I'm surprised he didn't take the time to mention them.
  151. (5:01:51 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Hello demdem |>
  152. (5:01:53 PM) dementedDemolisher: BUT I WANNA POINT THAT MY EARTH WON AGAINS ALIENS

  154. (5:02:07 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Dems, hush.
  155. (5:02:07 PM) timedZephyr: well then
  156. (5:02:16 PM) dementedDemolisher: STILL
  157. (5:02:18 PM) ventricularPipefitter: I'm talking /politics/.

  164. (5:04:27 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Eh. Only because most human earths don't achieve FTL before Sburb's meteors.

  184. (5:08:49 PM) ***cataclysmicCasanova PMs "heries" (About as fine as you'd expect grist grinding to go. Doesn't help that my primary specibus eats grist like little else)
  185. (5:09:11 PM) ***timedZephyr PMs "kirk" : (what's your primary specibus?)
  186. (5:09:25 PM) ventricularPipefitter: ...However. Humans are *rarely* comfortable with what they understand of Imperial Alternia's government and hierarchy. Humans are *much* more phenotypically similar to eachother, more like trolls of a given blood-range, and so biology was not really used as a justification for different treatment.
  187. (5:09:51 PM) ***cataclysmicCasanova PMs "heries" (Fireworkskind.)
  188. (5:10:08 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You'll find most, if not all, humans strongly opposed to the practice of culling.
  189. (5:10:45 PM) ***timedZephyr PMs "kirk" : (sounds explosive. i prefer melee weapons, but it sounds like it would work quite effectively~)

  196. (5:12:20 PM) doctoralDeception: sorry I just, I feel like singing. and typing.
  197. (5:12:26 PM) doctoralDeception: and typing /while/ singing.
  198. (5:12:50 PM) ***cataclysmicCasanova PMs "heries" (It helps with groups, to say the least. What sort of weapons do you prefer, anyway?)
  199. (5:13:01 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Mmm, complicated answer, there. Lots of different reasons. Human reproduction focuses on a lot of resources being expended into a few offspring rather than letting the M. Grub spawn thousands and letting nature sort it out. Human political structures most similar to the Empire were...ehh. Hm.
  200. (5:13:26 PM) ***timedZephyr PMs "kirk" : (i generally use a halberd. but i have also got a card for pistolkind and daggerkind)

  205. (5:13:48 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Depends on out outspoken you are about your profession.

  209. (5:14:56 PM) doctoralDeception: I have no problem in saying i believe your profession is an abhorration and the fact that you would extinguish life, /precious/ life that flows and ebbs out of a living being...
  210. (5:14:59 PM) doctoralDeception: that really irks me.
  211. (5:15:01 PM) ventricularPipefitter: The nearest human analogs to Alternia's Empire were...historical. And not regarded well by those contemporary to co-players. Human culture has differnt attitudes about what to do with the weak, and they're not homogenous enough to get into right now.

  422. (6:35:23 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Mislul" ( If this keeps up I'm gong to need a fake eight of my own. Seems wrong to just make one up and I'm hardly troll enough to have earned one, though. Eh. I'm that cagey anonblood. )
  423. (6:36:17 PM) ***mislaidLullaby PMs "Venpip" ( <| Wait what do you mean a 'fake one of your own'? |> )
  424. (6:37:51 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Mislul" ( Correct me if I get insensitive or stupid about this. If I'm going to keep having fun being Mr. Species And Class Ambiguous around here, an eight would be handy. But just making something up wouldn't be right, so I'd best not bother. )
  425. (6:38:01 PM) ***musicalDecay has joined the memo
  426. (6:38:36 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Welcome back musdec |>
  427. (6:39:04 PM) musicalDecay: Thank you. I had to make a new computer, sorry I took so long
  428. (6:39:14 PM) ***mislaidLullaby PMs "Venpip" ( <| Damn right that's what you mean. As for your eight? Eh, just take 'Pipes' and elaborate on it slightly. Be the Pipelord or something, I don't know |> )
  429. (6:42:43 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Mislul" ( ...if I get to pick something out, I am *not* using Pipelord. )
  430. (6:43:28 PM) ***mislaidLullaby PMs "Venpip" ( <| And /this/ is why I said not to leave it up to me |> )
  431. (6:44:46 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Mislul" ( Eh. I know enough trolls, by now. You don't force names, it ends badly. I'll not fuss. )
  432. (6:45:39 PM) ***mislaidLullaby PMs "Venpip" ( <| Then again I somehow got named by the Voices despite having never met them before then so ?? |> )
  433. (6:46:36 PM) stanzicApparati left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  434. (6:47:40 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Forgive the quiet, just dealing with something quickly |>
  435. (6:48:15 PM) musicalDecay: That's okay, I'm trying to make decay proof gloves anyways. So I don't mind
  436. (6:49:06 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Mislul" ( It's The *Voices*. Really, just...not going to touch that one. )
  437. (6:49:30 PM) ***mislaidLullaby PMs "Venpip" ( <| Messiahs, I don't even know. It worked out well enough though |> )
  438. (6:50:33 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Mislul" ( It's yours. Undeniably. )
  439. (6:51:37 PM) ***mislaidLullaby PMs "Venpip" ( <| That it is |> )
  440. (6:58:54 PM) ***mislaidLullaby PMs "Venpip" ( <| I mean, what else is there to say? |> )
  441. (6:59:30 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Mislul" ( Not a damn thing, Maria. Not a damn thing. )
  442. (7:00:05 PM) ***mislaidLullaby PMs "Venpip" ( <| Nhnn. This is going to sound weird as fuck but it's best to cut to the chase. Mind if we stick with Sawmouth? |> )
  443. (7:03:20 PM) alkalineTonic: I am szorry for the delay; monsztersz decided to try szneaking up on me. It did not work.
  444. (7:03:34 PM) musicalDecay: Hello again AT
  445. (7:03:36 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Don't worry about it, alkton |>
  446. (7:03:40 PM) musicalDecay: Sorry about before
  447. (7:03:41 PM) alkalineTonic: I am Merciful Defthand.
  448. (7:04:20 PM) alkalineTonic: Call me what you wiszh.
  449. (7:04:38 PM) ventricularPipefitter: 'Mercy' would be too familiar, I assume, Defthand.
  450. (7:04:39 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Does Defthand work? |>
  451. (7:04:51 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Huh. Well. Okay." ( I can do that, sure. )
  452. (7:06:00 PM) alkalineTonic: That isz fine.
  453. (7:06:01 PM) ***mislaidLullaby PMs "It means a lot" ( <| Cheers, Pipes |> )
  454. (7:06:06 PM) alkalineTonic: What szhould I call you?
  455. (7:06:25 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Mislul or Sawmouth works for me |>
  456. (7:06:28 PM) ***ventricularPipefitter PMs "Sawmouth 'Axebride" ( I'll....let you explain why when you've got it more clearly straightened out in your head. Take your time. )
  457. (7:08:14 PM) alkalineTonic: You mentioned you are often called "Pipesz"?
  458. (7:08:31 PM) ***mislaidLullaby PMs "Pipes" ( <| Thank you |> )
  459. (7:08:33 PM) alkalineTonic: Taken from your handle, I szee.
  460. (7:09:21 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Mm, yes. I've a knack for working on such mechanical systems. That, or 'Venpip,' and anyone will know who you're talking about.
  461. (7:11:10 PM) alkalineTonic: How many people frequent this place?
  462. (7:11:26 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| A great many |>
  463. (7:11:33 PM) musicalDecay: Lots
  464. (7:13:16 PM) alkalineTonic: How many of them are trollsz?
  465. (7:13:43 PM) ventricularPipefitter: (( Pause to bullshit demographics... ))
  466. (7:14:44 PM) tellurianTaleteller [[email protected]] entered the room.
  467. (7:15:07 PM) dementedDemolisher: (( it's been a year since trolls had began to pop in. They are growing minority, now they count approximately 18 % of population
  468. (7:15:10 PM) dementedDemolisher: *))
  469. (7:19:48 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Mm, one in five?
  470. (7:20:16 PM) ventricularPipefitter: And steadily rising in population as more replaying trolls find their way here, or are asked to join by those trolls Replaying into new sessions
  471. (7:20:36 PM) alkalineTonic: That isz sztill not many.
  472. (7:21:07 PM) dementedDemolisher: (( growing, vocal minority ))
  473. (7:21:12 PM) musicalDecay: Depends how you look at it I guess
  474. (7:21:14 PM) dementedDemolisher: (( expansive, even ))
  475. (7:23:11 PM) alkalineTonic: Have there been tenszionsz between trollsz and whatever elsze isz here?
  476. (7:23:16 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Goodness, yes.
  477. (7:23:36 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| There's also been tensions between trolls and other trolls |>
  478. (7:23:47 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Mostly, humans, as mentioned. A very small selection of other species--hobs, among them, if you're familiar.
  479. (7:23:52 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| There's tension between basically everybody at times |>
  480. (7:24:00 PM) musicalDecay: True
  481. (7:24:11 PM) alkalineTonic: There are /hobsz/ playing thisz game?
  482. (7:24:20 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Yes |>
  483. (7:25:09 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Not many. But a few.
  484. (7:25:23 PM) alkalineTonic: How did they even come to have the game?
  485. (7:25:52 PM) ventricularPipefitter: You'd have to ask plutonianFerment or toxicHistorian.
  486. (7:26:03 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| How did the rest of us come to have it? |>
  487. (7:26:28 PM) ventricularPipefitter: But, frankly, a computer is a necessary device in modern society, and client-races play video games the same as trolls and humans.
  488. (7:28:16 PM) alkalineTonic: Thisz game wasz under resztriction. The censzorsz had not yet declared it acceptable for civiliansz.
  489. (7:28:47 PM) mislaidLullaby: <| Different universes have different ways of doing things |>
  490. (7:28:48 PM) ventricularPipefitter: It was a little different where I came from, and different again for Sawmouth.
  491. (7:29:43 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Might have been developed by one of her co-player's clan-corporations, if I'm interpreting the hob in my session and her remarks correctly.
  492. (7:30:25 PM) alkalineTonic: I szee.
  493. (7:30:45 PM) alkalineTonic: I alszo szee another szet of enemiesz.
  494. (7:30:56 PM) musicalDecay: Have fun
  495. (7:30:59 PM) alkalineTonic: I will return when I have taken care of them.
  496. (7:31:02 PM) ventricularPipefitter: Take care, Defthand. We'll get back to you.
