@surreality Don't blame me! I've been getting up at a time I normally go to bed this week! How do people do this!??

Waking up before 2pm is just not decent!

glitch wrote a theme song for himself and sings it in the shower

I chose the 'I would die without logging everything', but mostly I just set up an Autologger and let it go. it has come in handy more times than I can count as a staffer and player.

@Bobotron Yeah but I think that's the point, that's what makes them hidden. Like, a lot of plot things in general, especially when I run plots, or even when I play characters, are based around player expectation. Understanding player expectation and doing things that kind of warp that perspective (and I don't mean lolrandomplottwist) is one way to make things a hell of a lot more interesting.

It not only plays to that expectation, but broadens it.

I have tried to RP from my phone twice, both necessitated by the internet service dying, and being in the middle of something I felt obliged to finish for other people's takes.

But man, its a solution of last resort.

@Kanye-Qwest said in MSB twitter:

If you see something, say nothing - and drink to forget.

Stop being likable when you're not trying to be the opposite, damn you.

Ignore saw some updates recently so I've re-installed it. Let me know if it's still got problems. Otherwise, you can once more ignore people by using the small eye next to their name.

@Insomnia Anyone that maybe made an account to read, and maybe keep their place, but never post, who has not verified their account, will be deleted. They can continue to not post if they like, after verifying.

This is solely for housekeeping purposes. If someone would like an account it must be verified, that is all. What they do with the account after that point is entirely up to them.

@somasatori Which part of Gany's statement involved wink wink nudge nudge in the least?

That robot's programming is very straight forward. And perverted.

This topic was briefly locked while I split it up. It's open again. I'm going to move it to the Suggestions area, since any original Announcing is long since past.

Woohoo

Most unenthusiastic textual manifestation of "woohoo-ing" ever.

Your mom is an unenthusiastic textual manifestation of "woohoo-ing".

Eh. Probably.

Since this topic came up from another thread, this is where I stopped:

Find the most efficient "adds to 15" combinations of dice, for people rolling skills that gain 2 raises per 15. Find the most efficient "adds to 10" combinations of dice, for all other situations. These were brute-forced lists of numbers, starting at '1 1 1 6 6' (5 dice adding to 15) and going from there. Yes, really, I coded a system to find this out. I was super inefficiently lazy about this, and it took Mux about a week to work through '1 1 1 1 1? No. 1 1 1 1 2? No.' for the 10s.

Like I said, I was being lazy.

Then I deleted it, because of the "GM Dice Overflow" situation and I'd already spent almost a month on the problem. If I could do a "most number of raises" and "most number of raises while eliminating unused dice", present both to the player, I don't think any more options need to be made.

I still believe, along with @faraday, that forcing the player to play a minmax game is silly at best.

Ah, okay. That I can definitely understand. The structure of the storytelling did catch me a bit, and when reading in one go what someone put out week after week as small blasts of the story did lead to some issues for me too. I just really dig the atmosphere and setting, like the main heroine and the supporting characters are compelling to me. I don't think it's all perfect, but I really enjoyed what I've read so far (there's a lot of it).
