Current events

This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.

Attendance and Food Preference

Edmiao present, no pizza per usual

--Dieter the Bold 12:32, 20 July 2009 (MST) Present. Would like some of the pizza. We at Gabe's?

--Gdaze 16:03, 20 July 2009 (MST) Present, I think we are this time? No pizza for me though.

Ed. I wont have time to get magic decks. Unless matt does shall we skip magic and start rpg at sixish?

BEN: I'm out this week. getting stuff from my house during the week will take considerable coordination because I'm home about 2-3 hours/week right now (usu. sleeping at meghan's).

--Matts 23:37, 20 July 2009 (MST)I doubt I'll be able to get the decks either. I also sort of doubt I'll be able to get over to the eastside by 6, but we'll see. Anyone down for a carpool?

GABE: What? I can get to Ben's before six, and I take the bus and walk. WEAK.

Can't grab the decks? Would it be possible to drop the decks off Ben, like with someone else, or too busy?

Ed. I think we can skip magic for a week. So matt is in but maybe late. I can carpool from this side and pickup matt and dieter. Is nate in?

--Gdaze 09:15, 22 July 2009 (MST) True that, not like I don't have eight thousand other CCGs just sitting around. I'll just see you guys when-ever on Friday then.

--Dieter the Bold 11:39, 22 July 2009 (MST) Where would you like me to be for pick-up, Ed? Are you going to be coming down I-5 from the North. Matt, are you interested in pizza?

Edmiao if we carpool, i can pick Dieter and Matt up from wherever, preferably one wherever if you can get to the same place.

--Dieter the Bold 18:03, 22 July 2009 (MST) I can easily get to Matt's on CapHill.

Edmiao that works, unless it's better for me to pick you both up from Matts work or something, wherever that is, if he's working until the last minute.

--Gdaze 10:03, 23 July 2009 (MST) WOW that is a lot of Mass Effect. So given that I doubt I can always have a game ready, will we be okay with a one shot now and then?

Edmiao ben may want to run oaaaaaa on a lighter rotation. we could also start another game or i could do a short game

--Gdaze -- Well right, I figured Ben will let us know when we can do some OA^22. I know Matt has some stupid new gay-ass system he wants to try out.

I'm actually down for just doing ME for the next few weeks. Maybe we could even get some board games in sometime, me and some friends have been playing around with speeding up Runebound. Last time worked out okay, but made it TOO easy.

By the way, stay tuned, by the end of the night I should have posted your ship's stats, the new classes, and other goodies.

Quote(s) of the week

Elemental: (to police chief, who thanked them for their good work) That certainly isn't going to help Viho's colossal ego. (or something like that...)

CyberJesus: I'm so sick and tired of this bullshit Thomas Kinkaid police state!

Ashbury: I grow plants that may or may not be used for pharmaceutical purposes

Ed/Aefra: "I use Seduction on the baby"

"Galen, you're wearing a dress." "Yes, but I still look better in it than in you do in your clothes."

Ranting and Raving

JASON: Wiki Update: As I am sure you guys know, the wiki was down for a day. I was doing some tweaks to curb the spam problem and this somehow interrupted the connection, and my wrangling with Godaddy took longer than expected. But, in the meantime I had reverted the changes to ensure that they were not the cause. Now that it is back up the changes are in, so for a short time there will be no more account creation until I get the challenge questions implemented. Once those work account creation will be back. Also, I will be enabling image uploads and adding a new logo sometime soon as well. Hey look, more functionality!

--Dieter the Bold 12:17, 16 July 2009 (MST) Super Thanks for taking care of this. I really feel cut-off when I can't check it, even if nothing's being posted.

Edmiao Jason, you are my hero. it also occurs to me that you are the only one of us without a job, can we pick up the cost of the wiki? i think its about time.

JASON: The wiki costs me $70/year, thats not all that much money. I would be more appreciative if you guys answered my questions about gaming stuff when I post them. But if you find it easier to contribute funds you can send them to my paypal account (attached to my regular email address) and I can use my paypal visa to pay for the hosting next time its up for renewal. Thanks for the support, guys.

Edmiao I'll try with the questions in the future. but I'm not so good at philosophizing about gaming.

JASON: Usually all I want are opinions. Even (especially) if I dont agree its good to have other viewpoints. It helps me to design scenarios that will be enjoyable for players.

Mayalyn 7/16/09 Yay the image adding. I'm jealous of Caelyn's pic and want to put up the one I found for Janna. Yay.

--Matts 22:10, 16 July 2009 (MST)Hell, if all you want is philosophizing, I've got that in spades! Consider yourselves warned, gentlejerks!

--Gdaze 13:05, 17 July 2009 (MST) I'd always rather throw money at something instead of talking. I will try to answer but I miss stuff a lot. Also, thanks for all your work on getting the spam down. My humble, though still awesome, thanks.

Mass Effect

Current Mass Effect XP: 1000 Starting + 1000 xp = 2000. (Current at end of 7/10)

Edmiao gabe, that's correct, right?

--Gdaze 13:06, 17 July 2009 (MST) Yup, you'll got a booster shot of EXP.

Edmiao does that mean our characters are now immune to further xp?

--Gdaze 15:33, 17 July 2009 (MST) To most common strains of xp, yes. But who knows, there could be some mutant xp out there the likes of which you've never seen.

Edmiao oh god, mutant xp from the warp!!! noooooooooo

Next step in Of Amor, Armor, and Alchemy

Current OAAAA XP: 75 base + 322 XP; Followers: 9 XP (current as of 6/23/09)

Plans to save Danny-Girl from the dragon

Fight the dragon, kill it

Lyra told us where to find the freezing Tears of _____ so we can put out the dragon's breath, right before she extinguished the eternal forge flame in our temple (bitch) by sucking its soul out like a vampire. She will help us fight the dragon. In return we agreed to let her strike the killing blow IF we successfully obtain the Tears. Other allies could also be enlisted in the fight.

Deal with the dragon

Give the dragon something he wants more than Danny. Say the Ruby shield or freeing Iximion.

Dragon vs Dragon

Free Iximion, tell him Oryxis is getting up in his magic shit and doens't he want to kick the shit out of Oryxix for learning magic?

ED: anything interesting happen last week?

--Gdaze 09:21, 23 June 2009 (MST) We raided the Forge's stash. Turns out the Prince took all the shiney stuff, which is actually the weaker stuff. I got a box. Matt got a sword, and we went into the old ways and had it forged by some old dwarf witch. My shadow self called out to my crow and killed it. Oh, there is now basically a pirate town on the island as well. We went to see the fairy king who was way more relaxed then before but still a dick. Matt met the new guard of the fairy bridge.

Oh, and there is a big political scuffle at the Forge (mostly due to our request). It isn't too bad right now though.
