(4 days ago) [bovine] Sport: i got to see hulls and sails a few days ago. but last night coould not remeber the exact command to show them (4 days ago) [bovine] Draak: ship buy <thing> list should be the general format (4 days ago) [bovine] Draak@alter draak: Hold 1 : average foodstuffs , bought for 161 gold (4 days ago) [bovine] Draak@alter draak: You receive 215 gold coins, and the crew unloads Hold 1 from average foodstuffs, leaving it empty.

(3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: you can get boarded while moving, you cannot get boarded while docked (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: so I think I'm going to try to enable fishing from ships, that seems like a pretty logical activity one could engage in to pass the time (3 days ago) [bovine] Neufi: fine idea :) (3 days ago) [bovine] Dentin: I'm going to try to have incentive to do something useful at some point today (3 days ago) [bovine] Dentin: :) (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: make me a sandwich? (3 days ago) [bovine] Dentin: no acceptable delivery mechanism :( (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: oh, why has my ship equipment vanished. (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: thats gonna be expensive to replace :( (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: if I buy another one will the next reboot eat it? Should I wait? (3 days ago) [bovine] Buzzbegone: I'm not a dev but I probably would. They'll probably squish a few bugs. It's how things tend to work in digital life. (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: thanks for the info. (3 days ago) [bovine] Buzzbegone: np! hope it works out for ya (3 days ago) [bovine] Buzzbegone: ah ha! and there's your reboot. :D (3 days ago) [bovine] Dentin: http://xirr.com/~soda/misc/aa-xmas-2010/ (3 days ago) [bovine] Dex: that was odd, couldnt abort cast spam (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: Your score is: Skull: 0 / 0, Flame: 3 / 5, Grove: 0 / 7, Blade: 12 / 7 (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: no idea how this card game thing works (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: Your score is: Skull: 14 / 5, Flame: 17 / 8, Grove: 12 / 5, Blade: 15 / 8 (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: that seemed to be pretty good though, lol (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: help tarot gives the rules (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: ah, fun (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: how fun would it be to have a physical deck like that though! (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: could be cool (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: and maps easily enough to regular playing cards too I imagine, just throw in some more jokers (3 days ago) [bovine] Sport: wow. never heard of the clan falconhand (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: Skull: 5 / 12, Flame: 10 / 12, Grove: 10 / 17, Blade: 5 / 12 (3 days ago) [bovine] Ryland: Woe! (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: would be great to have a list of the various bonuses (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: but slowly working them out! (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: gamble tarot (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: should give a list of the cards, suits, ranks and weal/woe (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: just look for times you get a single card of a suit of a particular rank, and you'll know what the weal/woe score is (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: okay, working on making fishing usable from ships, need a brain break for a while (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: tea time! (3 days ago) [bovine] Sport: ooh looking forward to that (3 days ago) [bovine] Asclepius: ooh yeah pass the time while lazy crew putting their feet up to recover (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: is it safe to get dredges back again? (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: gamble tarot only shows the card names, not how much they add to the score (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: you can work that one out easily shryth (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: I am (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: it's fun (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: safe to get dredges? is it unsafe? (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: xoria and I lost our ship eq (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: I never got a report (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: apologies. I will send a mail or report shortly (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: no problem found it (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: there was a missing space in the save to file routine (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: sorry I cannot pin down when it happened, I left the ship alone for 2 days. (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: ok, watson, holmes has got it (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: eureka or whatever (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: okies! sorry to add to your queue right before brain break. (3 days ago) [bovine] Sport: was the requency of boarders turned down a bit? just curious (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: no I mean I literally solved the issue (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: it was not changed, Sport, no (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: like lightning! (3 days ago) [bovine] Sport: hmm. did vikings a few days before reboot. had a lot. now seems like only 1 per half hour or so. thanks (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: missing space in the savefile routine, so it was being printed directly next to the number next to it, which would hork up the load routine (3 days ago) [bovine] Sport: oopsie (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: there is a cooldown time between encounters where you can't get one (3 days ago) [bovine] Sport: ah. cool to know. and thanksa ton (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: if you have more people on a ship, do you get more encounters? (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: we had a little group going and we got what seemed like a lot. (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: in theory, yes (3 days ago) [bovine] Sport: ah. we had a group then. just solo now. might explain a lot then (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: hmm, Fool's Star seems to give +7 if I'm calculating things correctly. And the crone seems to be +5. But I got 14 weal for Skull, and the two others are just bringers of woe (3 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: it was fun. (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: do you get a weal point just for having a card in that suit? (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: the crone is cosmic rank, just like fool's star (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: ah, right (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: common bringer of weal and woe seems to be +2 to both (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: the lore for the tarot is alter aeon specific, so the Crone is Schylne, the Mother is Byung and the Maiden is Islaine (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: fun! (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: is it a reskin of an actual card game? (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: or... maybe rather, did you pull inspiration from one? (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: no (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: makes it even better then ^^ (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: i pulled inspiration for the imagery from actual tarot cards, but that's about it. I made up the rules (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: original rules and motives. (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: nod (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: would be easy enough to transfer to regular playing cards though. I like that (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: library read 7809 (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: hah, nice! (3 days ago) [bovine] Sport: ooh. nice read (3 days ago) [bovine] Draak: "Many other cards bear symbolism dervied from various spells and religions, as well as historical figures and events. How many do you recognize?" (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: Common=2, Noble=3, Royal=5, Cosmic=7? (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: hah! The Grove's royals are neat (3 days ago) [bovine] Shryth: and a bit of a Ralnoth theme for Blades (2 days ago) [bovine] Dentin: pass 1 on my personal website complete! (2 days ago) [bovine] Grimmvein: any idea if we should expect another reboot today? (2 days ago) [bovine] Khonshu: always expect the unexpected (2 days ago) [bovine] Grimmvein: I do, but never the expected, that's my blind spot (2 days ago) [bovine] Rocky: and above all, don't panic (2 days ago) [bovine] Grimmvein: ...no (2 days ago) [bovine] Funk: don't expect the reboot, aim to force it (2 days ago) [bovine] Grimmvein: This is all super helpful life advice, but I guess I'll just have to cross my streams and hope for the best (2 days ago) [bovine] Funk: that's right, total protonic reversal (2 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: thats exactly the phrase I give my hairdresser. (2 days ago) [bovine] Eggweard: they never let me down. (2 days ago) [bovine] Lokar: my advice is "If it's the weekend expect reboots, possibly multiple if bugs are encountered" and plan accordingly (2 days ago) [bovine] Khonshu: which phrasing (2 days ago) [bovine] Grimmvein: Egg's always down for crusty nuggets of wisdom, so probably all of them (2 days ago) [bovine] Lokar: just don't use expensive minions use cheap ones if you're worried about losing them (2 days ago) [bovine] Kitsune: Crusty Nuggets? Isn't he the villain in that one children's novel with the kids solving crime? (2 days ago) [bovine] Grimmvein: Nothing above a purple today then. (1 day ago) [bovine] Algorithm: Necromancer question here- do skeletal mages do damage frequently? I'm looking at my output bu tnot seeing any damage dealing from my zap skeletal mage, but that could be because it is gagged from mushz... (1 day ago) [bovine] Rubi: iirc their attacks are special attacks that can get gagged by lots of stuff so it is easy to miss. they should be attacking often enough though. idr what it says though, something like "mage throws a bolt of <element>" or something (1 day ago) [bovine] Algorithm: I just checked spam stuff, it's possible that gfighting was gagging it... we'll see. thanks (1 day ago) [bovine] Rubi: i remember them getting gagged very easily so might be it, yeah (1 day ago) [bovine] Algorithm: think I'm just going to have to assume that mushz is gagging it (1 day ago) [bovine] Almaric: so i just upped my bone blade spell frmo 81% to 100 for experimental reasons (1 day ago) [bovine] Almaric: the resulting bone blade seems to be exactly the same: same dieroll and same stats (1 day ago) [bovine] Almaric: possibly its timer is greater but i cant see this (1 day ago) [bovine] Almaric: so, is it supposed to be this way? I was under the impression that being better at the skill/spell would increase something at least, e.g. the hp on it or possibly its hitroll (1 day ago) [bovine] Draak: due to how the spell code works, the only guaranteed improvement with spell knowledge is reduced failure rate. Anything else has to be added (1 day ago) [bovine] Deadinator: I can't get any of the "ship buy" things working. Just says the buy what string when I try both the abbreviated and long forms. (1 day ago) [bovine] Deadinator: Got it. Forgot the cargo bit (1 day ago) [bovine] Deadinator: How can I get the crew to rest? (1 day ago) [bovine] Eggweard: leave them alone for a little while. (1 day ago) [bovine] Eggweard: I tried to spend a little time in each port doing some shopping to give them downtime (1 day ago) [bovine] Deadinator: I'm out in the middle of nowhere on the way to West Maj. (1 day ago) [bovine] Deadinator: Oh seems sleeping works maybe? (1 day ago) [bovine] Deadinator: I really like the mob enounters though. Makes travel that much more enjoyable. (1 day ago) [bovine] Algorithm: ahh duh the spam filter was group cast... not sure how I missed that (1 day ago) [bovine] Algorithm: Do scrolls containing the spell lift curse give output for attempting to banish a curse even if it doesn't succeed? (1 day ago) [bovine] Simo: my understanding is lift curse when it fails, lowers the level of said curse. (1 day ago) [bovine] Algorithm: yes (1 day ago) [bovine] Algorithm: but my question is if i am using a scroll to lift the curse, will output show when it doesn't immediately remove the curse? (1 day ago) [bovine] Morpheus: once again it depends what spam filters you have on or not. It should send a string if it fails yes. but mush has filters and game have filters that could hide it. (1 day ago) [bovine] Algorithm: possibly, I think it's more likely i was doing the quest wrong... maybe I wasn't supposed ot use the scroll on lugar (1 day ago) [bovine] Algorithm: unfortunately I won't find out on this char because I eventually just killed the mob and did the othe other side of the ques tI forgot existed (1 day ago) [bovine] Rocky: is forging supposed to make rings and neck pieces that weigh the same as the ingot or bar you started with? or should I report a bug (1 day ago) [bovine] Lokar: I didn't experience the same thing as rocky, I made a torc out a of block and it capped out at weight 3 (1 day ago) [bovine] Silverclaw: how come this bow indicates darts but uses crossbow bolts? n i got it off a drow too. darkelf lore says they use darts too (1 day ago) [bovine] Silverclaw: A tiny hand crossbow, Level: 29, Comp: TIMBER, WOOD, Type: WEAPON, Weight: 2 ANTI_GOOD , Speed: very slow, 11 wield strength Ranged attacks: bolts, HITROLL by 12, DEX by 1, Quality: WELL CRAFTED (1 day ago) [bovine] Kitsune: maybe because it's tiny? (1 day ago) [bovine] Kitsune: what does the long desc say? (1 day ago) [bovine] Silverclaw: expensive lever action crossbow strapped to forarm (1 day ago) [bovine] Kitsune: wait, how does it indicate darts? (1 day ago) [bovine] Silverclaw: the labels sets darts poisoned (1 day ago) [bovine] Kitsune: no idea then (1 day ago) [bovine] Silverclaw: yeah. im not quite sure darkelfs use darts for these but the size.... (1 day ago) [bovine] Draak: alright, ironing out the wrinkles with on board fishing, coming along pretty well (1 day ago) [bovine] Draak: I need a break, though (1 day ago) [bovine] Gent: cake break! (6 hours ago) [bovine] Dizzy: is there any, any at all, means of figuring out if your corpse is gone without spending 50 credits anyway? (6 hours ago) [bovine] Ralts: type credit buy res, it's at the bottom (6 hours ago) [bovine] Ralts: (You don't currently have any corpses to resurrect from.) (6 hours ago) [bovine] Dizzy: that's what force spends 50 credits (6 hours ago) [bovine] Ralts: don't you have to specify 50? (6 hours ago) [bovine] Ralts: to make it happen (6 hours ago) [bovine] Dizzy: hmm, then my corpse is here somewhere (6 hours ago) [bovine] Morpheus: just type credit buy res nothing else (6 hours ago) [bovine] Dizzy: case every mob for it... aaaargh where is it?

(6 hours ago) [bovine] Dizzy: the sweepers are all gone though too, which suggests somebody else was slaying them (6 hours ago) [bovine] Dizzy: we were, but then the last one we were chasing vanished (6 hours ago) [bovine] Dizzy: avoid Airam. Noted. (6 hours ago) [bovine] Morpheus: or just don't die there.. what did you do to die? (6 hours ago) [bovine] Dizzy: got tangled in a stupid mob's stupid curses, in recall, so couldn't escape or recall or flee (6 hours ago) [bovine] Dizzy: stupid super fail to end all fails (6 hours ago) [bovine] Morpheus: what attacked you in recall? (6 hours ago) [bovine] Dizzy: an old hag, after I tried stealing gold, in thief set (6 hours ago) [bovine] Dizzy: then I got entangled so couldn't get away, couldn't recall, couldn't do anything but die (6 hours ago) [bovine] Dizzy: trying to get the roots off me just led to the mob curbstomping me (6 hours ago) [bovine] Dizzy: it was really a stupid me problem (6 hours ago) [bovine] Dizzy: and I'm out.
