CirclMastr (9:25:46 PM): So...
Umbrafer (9:26:17 PM): Try inviting Seiler?
Thematrian1 has entered the chat room.

Thematrian1 (9:26:57 PM): well, that was rather odd
Umbrafer (9:27:31 PM): ?
Thematrian1 (9:27:43 PM): the n invitations it took to get me in here
CirclMastr (9:28:29 PM): I'd be impressed if n were negative.
Umbrafer (9:28:33 PM): The last one wasn't from me.
Thematrian1 (9:29:02 PM): oh, that would explain it. My average round-trip ping for google is 1100ms
Thematrian1 (9:29:10 PM): with 50% packet loss
Umbrafer (9:29:41 PM): Hm.
Umbrafer (9:29:44 PM): Ouch.
Thematrian1 (9:29:54 PM): past a certain point, it no longer counts as being connected to the internet
Thematrian1 (9:31:19 PM): anyway, let's play some Shadowrun
Umbrafer (9:31:24 PM): \/\/007.
Umbrafer (9:31:34 PM): Where were we last time?
CirclMastr (9:32:38 PM): No recall
Umbrafer (9:32:44 PM): You'd just finished watching the news
Umbrafer (9:32:53 PM): Gem and Hound ate a bunch of Glitch's food
Thematrian1 (9:32:57 PM): yep
Umbrafer (9:32:59 PM): Not including krillflakes.
Thematrian1 (9:33:02 PM): checked out the journal
Thematrian1 (9:33:07 PM): found a Clue
CirclMastr (9:33:23 PM): Isn't the news secretly Bizzaro News or something?
Umbrafer (9:35:03 PM): There's one less burning apartment building than the news said there was.
CirclMastr (9:35:09 PM): Fake news or the like
Thematrian1 (9:36:01 PM): yeah, but we heard later
Thematrian1 (9:36:10 PM): they were using stock footage to make things seemw orse than there were
Umbrafer (9:36:24 PM): And there was indeed a Clue
Umbrafer (9:36:30 PM): Gem has one Clue Token.
Umbrafer (9:36:36 PM): Four more and you can seal a gate.
CirclMastr (9:38:04 PM): I thought it was when we collect 8 we can trade them in for a Plot Coupon
Umbrafer (9:39:14 PM): http://www.sotsw.net/runs/SotSW%2006-29-06.html

Thematrian1 (9:43:35 PM): mmmm, 100% packet loss
CirclMastr (9:43:58 PM): 110%, it started forgetting old packets
CirclMastr (9:44:20 PM): ...My brain just exploded.
CirclMastr (9:44:27 PM): "PokerRPG is the world’s first online poker role playing game."
Thematrian1 (9:44:31 PM): you think you're kidding, but there's a TCP/IP error state that works that way
Thematrian1 (9:44:32 PM): it's not called 110% packet loss, though
Umbrafer (9:45:35 PM): Anyway, where were we?
CirclMastr (9:45:42 PM): My brain exploded.
Umbrafer (9:45:48 PM): Other than thinking about poker RPGs?
CirclMastr (9:46:22 PM): Last I remember Hound was wondering when we'd do that Erhan or whoever run finally.
Umbrafer (9:46:47 PM): Yep
CirclMastr (9:46:57 PM): ...My brain exploded again for an entirely new and different reason.
CirclMastr (9:47:02 PM): "South Carolina has lowered the age of consent to 14 and allowed the "I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS 9!" defense."
Thematrian1 (9:47:12 PM): (some time when we're at full strength)
Umbrafer (9:49:10 PM): Actions?
Thematrian1 (9:49:50 PM): Unless something really compelling happens, Gem goes home and sleeps (even though, historically, that hasn't gone too well for her)
CirclMastr (9:49:56 PM): Sleep as appropriat?
CirclMastr (9:49:58 PM): *appropriate
Umbrafer (9:50:04 PM): Willpower for Gem.
Thematrian1 (9:51:41 PM): Thematrian1 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 4 3 4 2 4 3
Thematrian1 (9:51:56 PM): if that's to successfully sleep, I think my wound mods should count as a bonus this time around...
Umbrafer (9:52:11 PM): Bad news: it's to sleep /peacefully/.
CirclMastr (9:52:23 PM): Then I should make a Willpower roll to pay attention
Thematrian1 (9:52:28 PM): oh well
CirclMastr (9:52:34 PM): Because nothing will happen for me the rest of the session
Umbrafer (9:52:35 PM): It doesn't go too well for her this time either. However, the nightmares appear to be of a more mundane variety.
Umbrafer (9:53:29 PM): Actions, other than leaping tall conclusions in a single bound?
Thematrian1 (9:55:06 PM): nope
Umbrafer (9:55:54 PM): Morning comes. It's raining, with a severe storm warning for the afternoon. Supposed to clear up on Monday.
Thematrian1 has left the chat room.

Umbrafer (9:59:14 PM): I swear, I am going to run a cable to his apartment or something.
Umbrafer (9:59:21 PM): You try inviting?
CirclMastr (9:59:31 PM): Sent
CirclMastr (9:59:42 PM): Do I need to bring in drones or anything?
Umbrafer (10:00:53 PM): Hm? I don't think you'd left any outside, but if you had, yeah, probably best. Winds are going to get pretty high.
CirclMastr (10:01:11 PM): The SunCelled blimp drones
CirclMastr (10:02:24 PM): *Takes the van in company paintjob to collect drones, then holes up in the shop to work on mech*
Umbrafer (10:02:51 PM): *Grind grind grind* *Ratchet ratchet* *Weld weld weld weld weld*
Umbrafer (10:03:37 PM): Roll B/R.
CirclMastr (10:03:57 PM): CirclMastr rolled 6 6-sided dice: 3 2 2 5 5 2
CirclMastr (10:04:02 PM): ..
CirclMastr (10:04:07 PM): I'll karma that if it's not good enough
Umbrafer (10:04:38 PM): Well, it's two successes.
CirclMastr (10:04:52 PM): That's fine then
Umbrafer (10:05:40 PM): In addition to the general work, you also home in on a short in the left knee joint. You haven't found it yet, but you think it won't be too much longer before you track it down.
CirclMastr (10:06:52 PM): *hopes it's not something expensive*
CirclMastr (10:07:42 PM): (Also, is it just me or is the FreeCiv server sucking?)
Umbrafer (10:07:50 PM): (How so?)
CirclMastr (10:08:03 PM): (Taking a LONG time to connect and then being VERY laggy once in)
Umbrafer (10:08:11 PM): (Hm. Possible, I'll check it out.)
CirclMastr (10:09:25 PM): (Meanwhile I have a Carrier with 6 or so cruise missiles asea)
CirclMastr (10:10:12 PM): (Shall I attack Quebec now?)
Umbrafer (10:10:50 PM): (Probably a good idea. Be warned, he's drawing near.)
CirclMastr (10:10:59 PM): (To me?)
Umbrafer (10:12:03 PM): (To lands that were formerly Slovenian)
CirclMastr (10:12:09 PM): (Ah)
CirclMastr (10:12:25 PM): (Well, I killed two units sitting in... Baie-Comeau)
CirclMastr (10:12:58 PM): (Helicoptor will arrive next turn)
CirclMastr (10:14:12 PM): (Seiler still out of touch?)
Umbrafer (10:15:04 PM): (Yeah. His connection is horrifically unstable)
CirclMastr (10:16:58 PM): (I tried a FreeCiv game against some AIs the other day. I forgot that I had to win by the year 2000 and the clock ran out before my spaceship arrived)
Umbrafer (10:30:05 PM): (Ouch.)
