01:46.30 | Cyerie | okay |
03:11.58 | Cyerie | what date? |
03:14.38 | Cyerie | type what out? |
03:14.56 | hyperChipmunk | i asked, if you really want me to stay, I can tough it out! |
03:15.05 | Cyerie | haha |
03:15.10 | Cyerie | Well that's 5 days |
03:15.16 | Cyerie | You'll be sick of me for a while after that |
03:15.26 | hyperChipmunk | oh, I was talking about now |
03:15.39 | hyperChipmunk | I'm confused |
03:15.43 | hyperChipmunk | and sleepy |
03:15.43 | Cyerie | Oh, well, how do you feel? |
03:15.45 | Cyerie | haha |
03:15.55 | Cyerie | I thought you were talking about visiting |
03:16.00 | hyperChipmunk | I don't know anymore |
03:16.11 | Cyerie | Do you want to sleep? |
03:16.15 | hyperChipmunk | I need some nappytime |
03:16.22 | Cyerie | Okay :D |
03:16.27 | Cyerie | I'll go do the same |
03:16.29 | Cyerie | I'm tired too |
03:16.36 | Cyerie | deal? |
03:16.37 | hyperChipmunk | gtb nub! |
03:16.42 | Cyerie | haha |
03:19.43 | hyperChipmunk | because it's nice and cool |
03:19.46 | hyperChipmunk | mis |
03:24.01 | Cyerie | ~botcookie |
03:24.04 | purl | :-P |
03:24.04 | sedatedChipmunk | napping; might be back in a few hours if you're still around adam |
03:24.09 | sedatedChipmunk | or might not |
03:24.18 | sedatedChipmunk | zzzzz |
03:24.55 | sedatedChipmunk | maybe you can sneak out your window tonight and go to the internet cafe and play |
05:11.02 | demarchist | anybody home? |
06:21.38 | sedatedChipmunk | yo |
06:40.25 | demarchist | hey |
06:40.44 | Cyerie | hey adam :D |
06:41.06 | demarchist | wth, all'yall are up? |
06:41.17 | Cyerie | I couldn't sleep for some reason |
06:41.20 | Cyerie | lol |
06:41.25 | Cyerie | I guess so |
06:41.36 | demarchist | did you try drinking? |
06:41.49 | Cyerie | No, I haven't tried that yet. Does it really work? |
06:42.07 | demarchist | In my limited experience, yeah |
06:42.17 | Cyerie | haha |
06:42.28 | Cyerie | Actually |
06:42.30 | Cyerie | something I wanted to ask you |
06:42.32 | demarchist | you have to do it just right though, hangovers suckzor |
06:42.40 | Cyerie | lol |
06:42.41 | Cyerie | I bet |
06:42.53 | demarchist | also puking in the middle of the night |
06:43.03 | demarchist | what'd you want to ask |
06:43.12 | Cyerie | ewww |
06:43.56 | demarchist | yeah, I've had two encounters with the toilet in the middle of the night |
06:44.13 | demarchist | one was thanks to some nasty-ass vodka |
06:44.24 | Cyerie | What do you think about a pilot who crash lands on an island somewhere? With him in the ship was his friend who is currently writing a book. Is that an interesting story? Something makes me think I'm stealing it from somewhere... |
06:44.26 | demarchist | the other was too many flaming shots |
06:44.36 | Cyerie | Lol! |
06:44.56 | demarchist | I don't recognise it |
06:44.59 | Cyerie | Let that be a lesson to you to never drink anything that's given to you aflame |
06:45.13 | demarchist | nono, it was a lot of fun |
06:45.21 | demarchist | just had too many |
06:45.30 | demarchist | and then drank a beer |
06:45.59 | demarchist | drinking things on fire is cool |
06:46.02 | Cyerie | so you put out the fire |
06:46.13 | Cyerie | lol |
06:47.00 | demarchist | so, the story is about a pilot and a writer |
06:47.14 | demarchist | marooned on a tropical island? |
06:47.22 | Cyerie | Yeah, I was thinking maybe there was a tribe of people on the island or something |
06:47.26 | Cyerie | Yep |
06:47.54 | demarchist | wait, I do recognize it... sorta |
06:48.14 | demarchist | seven days and six nights |
06:48.23 | Cyerie | Hm..I never saw that.. |
06:48.30 | demarchist | with harison ford and that lesbian chick |
06:48.35 | Cyerie | I think it had Harrison Ford and Anne Heche in it though |
06:48.40 | Cyerie | lol |
06:48.55 | demarchist | yeah, that one |
06:49.11 | demarchist | ok, so what happens? |
06:49.21 | demarchist | is the writer a dude? |
06:49.26 | Cyerie | oh yeah |
06:49.29 | Cyerie | they're all dudes |
06:49.36 | Cyerie | but they're not gay or anything |
06:49.46 | demarchist | well that's good |
06:50.04 | demarchist | although that could make for an interesting story |
06:50.13 | Cyerie | I was just thinking of a crew sort of thing |
06:50.15 | Cyerie | haha |
06:50.23 | Cyerie | brokeback island |
06:50.25 | demarchist | maybe the natives are all homo-erotic savages |
06:50.49 | demarchist | and they chase them around trying to invade them |
06:50.49 | Cyerie | haha |
06:50.53 | Cyerie | Oh gross |
06:50.54 | Cyerie | Adam |
06:50.59 | Cyerie | haha |
06:51.16 | demarchist | well it's an interesting twist on cannibals |
06:52.11 | demarchist | what's the writer doing on the plane to begin with? |
06:52.22 | Cyerie | That's a good question |
06:53.20 | Cyerie | Well, I was thinking he just sort of went along with the pilot guy for fun one day and they happened to get lost. |
06:53.43 | Cyerie | Although I suppose he could be writing a story involving planes, and flying. |
06:53.44 | demarchist | are there pirates involved? |
06:53.49 | Cyerie | There could be! |
06:54.00 | demarchist | butt-pirates? |
06:54.14 | Cyerie | haha |
06:54.23 | demarchist | sorry |
06:54.39 | Cyerie | It's okay, go ahead |
06:54.43 | Cyerie | Make the 'booty' joke |
06:55.04 | demarchist | oh, my, that hadn't occurred to me until just now |
06:55.16 | Cyerie | lol |
06:56.35 | demarchist | well maybe the pirates attack the savages until they realize they're all sexually oriented in the same direction and the battle devolves into a frenzied orgy? |
06:56.51 | demarchist | I'm just throwing ideas out there |
06:57.06 | Cyerie | Hm |
06:57.34 | Cyerie | Would there be any survivors? |
06:58.08 | demarchist | well clearly the pilot and his writer companion would escape amid the confusion |
06:58.28 | demarchist | so, really there's no way to be sure |
06:59.04 | Cyerie | Well, it needs something |
06:59.24 | Cyerie | Robot Nazis perhaps |
06:59.24 | demarchist | hmmmm |
07:00.04 | demarchist | would there be a sexy nazi dominatrix commanding them? |
07:00.12 | demarchist | with a whip perhaps? |
07:00.30 | Cyerie | lol |
07:01.23 | demarchist | the heroic duo would be no match for her robotic minions |
07:02.00 | Cyerie | Who are outfitted with blinking LED's |
07:02.01 | demarchist | they'd be captured and taken to her sultry cave of seduction |
07:02.30 | demarchist | they'd be fembots with blinking LEDs for nipples |
07:02.38 | demarchist | obviously |
07:02.39 | Cyerie | HAHA |
07:02.45 | Cyerie | that's terrible |
07:03.03 | Cyerie | hahaha |
07:03.03 | demarchist | whatever, it's pure genious |
07:04.28 | demarchist | ok, so, where were we... the sultry cave of seduction where our heroes are being "tortured" by the sexy nazi dominatrix |
07:04.37 | Cyerie | Oh |
07:04.42 | Cyerie | Yes, well |
07:04.50 | Cyerie | I had a feeling |
07:05.14 | demarchist | nausea? |
07:05.31 | Cyerie | Have you watched BSG? |
07:05.48 | demarchist | no, not for two weeks =( |
07:07.20 | Cyerie | Hm, well...you forgot that somewhere on the island, dinosaurs have survived for thousands of years |
07:07.28 | Cyerie | This is relevant in some way... |
07:07.50 | demarchist | all the commotion has roused them from their nests? |
07:08.43 | Cyerie | Yep, so now there are dinosaurs walking around |
07:08.57 | Cyerie | And...I really can't think of anywhere to go with that |
07:09.20 | demarchist | it's only a matter of time before they encounter the fembot squad |
07:10.25 | demarchist | the dinosaurs attack viciously |
07:10.38 | Cyerie | And the bots have laser weapons |
07:10.57 | Cyerie | like in Moonraker |
07:11.00 | demarchist | exactly, but they are outnumberer |
07:11.25 | demarchist | and are forced to fall back to the sultry cave of seduction |
07:11.40 | Cyerie | Can dinosaurs fit in the cave? |
07:11.53 | demarchist | well yeah, it's a big cave |
07:12.00 | Cyerie | lol |
07:12.08 | Cyerie | More like a studio cave |
07:12.16 | Cyerie | But well decorated |
07:12.22 | Cyerie | after all, they are fembots |
07:12.36 | demarchist | in a nazi-goth kind of way |
07:12.57 | Cyerie | They like the blue lipstick |
07:13.02 | demarchist | lots of leather and chains |
07:13.28 | Cyerie | Every cow's nightmare |
07:14.14 | Cyerie | well not the chains so much |
07:14.16 | Cyerie | But the leather |
07:14.25 | Cyerie | Hey, look, a unicorn! |
07:15.08 | demarchist | no, wait, that's just a terrified cow making a run for it |
07:15.15 | Cyerie | lol |
07:15.55 | demarchist | a velociraptor pounces and tears the hapless bovine asunder |
07:16.04 | Cyerie | awww =\ |
07:17.22 | demarchist | which leaves it vulnerable... A calculated blast from a fembot titty-laser blows the dino to pieces |
07:17.31 | Cyerie | hahaha |
07:17.52 | Cyerie | Of course they shoot that way... |
07:17.58 | Cyerie | lol |
07:18.03 | demarchist | there are other ways? |
07:18.15 | Cyerie | Nope, all fembots shoot that way |
07:18.24 | demarchist | fembots always shoot from their boobs |
07:19.12 | Cyerie | That's quite true |
07:20.06 | Cyerie | Meanwhile, back at the raptor base.. |
07:20.29 | Cyerie | The raptors are gathering lumber and gold and preparing for fellow dinosaur attacks |
07:20.55 | Cyerie | Or flying sheep, whichever happens to come by |
07:21.10 | demarchist | you can never be sure |
07:23.23 | demarchist | so, yeah, that's pretty much how I'd envision that story unfolding |
07:23.54 | Cyerie | Hmm |
07:24.11 | Cyerie | Not that your idea isn't fascinating.. |
07:24.33 | Cyerie | But maybe it would be easier to go with a different beginning idea |
07:25.36 | demarchist | well, I guess maybe the public isn't quite ready for something that progressive |
07:25.58 | Cyerie | hehehe |
07:26.15 | Cyerie | Too controversial, with the cow and all |
07:26.42 | demarchist | killing helpless animals is a bit much |
07:27.19 | Cyerie | And it's chicken season besides |
07:27.38 | sedatedChipmunk | we got to level 33 in skibi's castle |
07:27.41 | demarchist | it is? |
07:27.47 | demarchist | that's impressive |
07:27.53 | sedatedChipmunk | I found my new race |
07:27.56 | Cyerie | Chickfila down here has cows holding up signs like "eat mor chikin' |
07:28.07 | Cyerie | =D |
07:28.16 | demarchist | what race is that? |
07:28.17 | sedatedChipmunk | with ashley making elves, it was downright evil |
07:28.21 | sedatedChipmunk | the specialist |
07:28.33 | demarchist | arcane? |
07:28.45 | sedatedChipmunk | no, he's like an engineer dude |
07:28.47 | sedatedChipmunk | but he's a tree |
07:28.54 | Cyerie | You had a bug |
07:28.56 | Cyerie | And a tank |
07:28.58 | demarchist | oh, right, that guy |
07:29.07 | Cyerie | That's the only distinctive towers I can remember atm |
07:29.12 | sedatedChipmunk | no bugs |
07:29.16 | sedatedChipmunk | pandaran |
07:29.20 | Cyerie | oh right |
07:29.24 | sedatedChipmunk | pandarans, ships, and tanks |
07:29.31 | Cyerie | You killed the bugs and I thought your towers were dead |
07:29.40 | Cyerie | But it was because of the pwnage |
07:29.41 | sedatedChipmunk | and the occasional rock-dude |
07:29.47 | demarchist | well, we'll have to try that again some time |
07:29.51 | sedatedChipmunk | we need anti-air support |
07:30.03 | sedatedChipmunk | every single life we lost was to an air unit |
07:30.12 | demarchist | well, I can do that |
07:30.17 | demarchist | naturally |
07:30.20 | sedatedChipmunk | so either you need to be elves and ashley makes the eagle, or vice versa |
07:30.41 | sedatedChipmunk | I'm a friggin wall up front |
07:30.56 | sedatedChipmunk | they come through this teeny tiny hole |
07:31.06 | demarchist | well that's great |
07:31.13 | sedatedChipmunk | and the archers just turn them into paste |
07:31.21 | sedatedChipmunk | until the fliers come |
07:31.36 | sedatedChipmunk | and my guys all shake their fists at them as they shoot by |
07:31.50 | demarchist | ok, well, show me when we play |
07:32.05 | sedatedChipmunk | I'm in right now, or are you grounded? |
07:32.24 | demarchist | nono, I tricked her asleep |
07:32.32 | Cyerie | Watch out for the fembots |
07:32.42 | Cyerie | As long as they're not around, you're good |
07:32.51 | demarchist | I had to rub her head for like 15minutes |
07:33.10 | sedatedChipmunk | wow |
07:33.11 | demarchist | but then I snuck out of bed |
07:33.15 | sedatedChipmunk | she's a resilient one |
07:33.22 | sedatedChipmunk | 15 minutes |
07:33.42 | demarchist | well I'd try to sneek away but she'd catch me |
07:33.45 | sedatedChipmunk | ashley'd have me asleep in 15 seconds |
07:33.59 | demarchist | and make me come back and rub some more |
07:34.10 | sedatedChipmunk | and that's only if she accidentally drew blood sometime after 5 seconds in |
07:34.30 | Cyerie | lol |
07:34.45 | Cyerie | If someone brushes your hair, you're gone :) |
07:34.46 | demarchist | I thought you said you had a game up |
07:34.53 | sedatedChipmunk | i do |
07:34.54 | sedatedChipmunk | just now |
07:35.33 | sedatedChipmunk | is ashley joining in on the mayhem? |
07:35.43 | Cyerie | yep, just starting up :) |
07:36.04 | sedatedChipmunk | k brb |
07:36.17 | demarchist | gogo nocturnal.... I need an N word for mayhem |
07:36.39 | Cyerie | ninjas |
07:36.51 | demarchist | lol, touche! |
07:37.02 | demarchist | <-- in client |
09:43.15 | sedatedChipmunk | >8D good job |
09:43.22 | sedatedChipmunk | hard without TS |
09:43.27 | Cyerie | aw |
09:43.30 | Cyerie | He signed off |
09:43.48 | sedatedChipmunk | yea, I wanted to tell him how excellently he was suited to be the guy in front |
09:44.00 | Cyerie | Yeah he did really really well |
09:44.07 | Cyerie | =D |
09:44.23 | sedatedChipmunk | yea, taking all the damage from the attacking ones |
09:44.23 | sedatedChipmunk | he did that really really well |
09:44.48 | Cyerie | haha |
09:44.49 | sedatedChipmunk | the only towers of mine that died were from aura mobs |
09:45.02 | sedatedChipmunk | he really bit the bullet |
09:45.02 | Cyerie | I still have no idea how you wanted me to rebuild |
09:45.20 | sedatedChipmunk | the computer changed how it was pathing |
09:45.21 | Cyerie | I think it's better for me to build from the back...that way we don't run into each other |
09:45.25 | sedatedChipmunk | as I made it more complex |
09:45.46 | Cyerie | right |
09:45.47 | sedatedChipmunk | I had them going up through a maze from the wings |
09:45.58 | sedatedChipmunk | then when they reached the center, they'd find it blocked |
09:45.59 | Cyerie | Yeah I saw that... |
09:46.05 | Cyerie | That was really strange |
09:46.06 | sedatedChipmunk | and go back DOWN the maze they came from |
09:46.12 | Cyerie | How they'd go a way they'd come.. |
09:46.13 | sedatedChipmunk | running into their own guys |
09:46.26 | Cyerie | Yeah...it doesn't seem like they would do that |
09:46.35 | Cyerie | very nice |
09:46.37 | sedatedChipmunk | well I'm awesome that way |
09:46.51 | Cyerie | haha |
09:47.03 | sedatedChipmunk | there really isn't any other explanation, I'm afraid |
09:47.14 | Cyerie | alright, well, I should probably go cuddle mynbear some more :D |
09:47.16 | Cyerie | haha |
09:47.22 | Cyerie | =D |
09:47.27 | Cyerie | Well honesty is best |
09:47.33 | sedatedChipmunk | but all that wackiness was pretty unpredictable |
09:47.43 | Cyerie | Yeah.. |
09:47.45 | Cyerie | Well |
09:47.55 | Cyerie | If you do something you shouldn't do.. |
09:47.57 | sedatedChipmunk | for awhile they were going to one side, then they went to the other, then they went to both, then back to one |
09:48.26 | Cyerie | Like close out a path completely so they have nowhere to go...they'll wander around a little, and act confused, then attack and make a path |
09:48.44 | Cyerie | So it kind of makes sense |
09:48.52 | sedatedChipmunk | yea, I was careful to always have them a path |
09:49.02 | Cyerie | But there should've been a path for each to reach my area sooner than how they decided to go |
09:49.12 | Cyerie | which is confusing me as to why they didn't take it |
09:49.16 | sedatedChipmunk | it just changed mid-wave on them sometimes =x |
09:49.36 | sedatedChipmunk | they path to waypoints |
09:49.41 | sedatedChipmunk | there's a waypoint in the center |
09:49.45 | sedatedChipmunk | they go to that one |
09:49.54 | sedatedChipmunk | THEN they go to the castle waypoint |
09:49.59 | Cyerie | well yeah, I understand that part |
09:50.13 | Cyerie | hm |
09:50.18 | Cyerie | I'd have to draw it out |
09:50.20 | sedatedChipmunk | so they'll go through the maze to get to the middle, because they're not trying to get to the castle at that point |
09:50.23 | Cyerie | To show you what I mean |
09:50.36 | Cyerie | I know |
09:50.43 | sedatedChipmunk | then when they try to get to the castle from the middle, they find it blocked |
09:50.57 | sedatedChipmunk | and go back out the maze to get to the place where I was letting them in |
09:50.58 | Cyerie | yep |
09:51.17 | Cyerie | wait, what? |
09:51.29 | Cyerie | They didn't turn around |
09:51.31 | sedatedChipmunk | it wouldn't work if they were going to the castle from the start |
09:51.38 | Cyerie | They kept going, but to where the other side was coming in |
09:51.43 | sedatedChipmunk | right |
09:51.49 | Cyerie | oh wait |
09:51.53 | Cyerie | I think I see what you mean |
09:51.59 | Cyerie | They forget the first waypoint |
09:52.19 | sedatedChipmunk | no, they go to it, but then they have to go through the maze again to get to the castle |
09:52.32 | Cyerie | I'm confused again |
09:52.36 | sedatedChipmunk | they don't know anything about the castle until they get to the middle |
09:52.51 | sedatedChipmunk | otherwise they'd just go along the wall |
09:52.52 | Cyerie | nono |
09:52.54 | Cyerie | Yeah |
09:52.59 | Cyerie | They should go along the wall |
09:53.10 | sedatedChipmunk | they can't get to the middle from the wall |
09:53.19 | sedatedChipmunk | they're going to the middle, not the castle |
09:53.28 | Cyerie | alright |
09:53.35 | Cyerie | So after they're at the middle |
09:53.39 | Cyerie | They forget that point |
09:53.41 | sedatedChipmunk | once they're at the middle, THEN they go to the castle |
09:54.02 | Cyerie | and receive the 'go to castle' command |
09:54.07 | Cyerie | okay |
09:54.17 | sedatedChipmunk | which, for the same reason they couldn't get to the middle without going through the maze, they have to do the same thing to get to the castle |
09:54.35 | Cyerie | wait |
09:54.41 | sedatedChipmunk | it's a matter of keeping them on the wrong side of where they want to go |
09:55.06 | Cyerie | =\ |
09:55.13 | Cyerie | I understand |
09:55.17 | Cyerie | But how did you figure that out? |
09:55.44 | Cyerie | I've had exposure to tower defenses similar to that one for like 3 years |
09:55.46 | sedatedChipmunk | I duno |
09:56.05 | Cyerie | That's kinda spooky |
09:56.07 | Cyerie | hehe |
09:56.16 | Cyerie | good job! |
09:56.22 | sedatedChipmunk | I just noticed a pattern and poked at it until I figured out how to control it |
09:56.55 | sedatedChipmunk | in the process, made some guesses as to why the pattern existed |
09:57.16 | sedatedChipmunk | in the context of the game, it's like shift-click moving |
09:57.29 | Cyerie | Yeah...thinking about it, they always do go to the middle if they're allowed |
09:57.34 | Cyerie | Like if there are no towers |
09:57.39 | sedatedChipmunk | right |
09:57.40 | Cyerie | I wonder if all the games behave that way |
09:57.44 | Cyerie | Probably |
09:57.58 | Cyerie | shift-click moving? |
09:58.00 | sedatedChipmunk | depends on the map |
09:58.25 | sedatedChipmunk | if you hold down shift and give orders to a unit, they queue |
09:58.31 | Cyerie | Really?! |
09:58.37 | sedatedChipmunk | O_o |
09:58.45 | Cyerie | Well |
09:58.50 | Cyerie | That would make things lots easier |
09:58.51 | sedatedChipmunk | you build towers one by one? |
09:58.55 | Cyerie | Of course I do |
09:58.59 | sedatedChipmunk | /cry |
09:59.07 | sedatedChipmunk | and the coin collecting |
09:59.11 | Cyerie | Well, I don't usually have the money to build more |
09:59.13 | Cyerie | Yes |
09:59.17 | Cyerie | Everything |
09:59.29 | sedatedChipmunk | heck, I just hold down shift and click all the coins |
09:59.38 | sedatedChipmunk | as they spawn |
09:59.40 | Cyerie | I also tend to upgrade things instead of mazing in that game |
09:59.46 | sedatedChipmunk | I noticed that |
09:59.54 | Cyerie | so that's why you're beating me in everything! |
09:59.58 | sedatedChipmunk | O_o |
10:00.06 | sedatedChipmunk | the coin collections, at least |
10:00.10 | Cyerie | I can never catch those fish as a penguin |
10:00.15 | sedatedChipmunk | oh |
10:00.20 | sedatedChipmunk | don't even try to click those |
10:00.22 | Cyerie | Well lots are collective types |
10:00.24 | sedatedChipmunk | just attack-move |
10:00.34 | Cyerie | hm |
10:00.35 | sedatedChipmunk | you do know what that is, right? |
10:00.40 | Cyerie | yeah |
10:00.45 | sedatedChipmunk | the dude chases fishes on his own |
10:00.48 | sedatedChipmunk | well |
10:00.56 | sedatedChipmunk | until you click the TOO MUCH FISH!! button |
10:01.01 | Cyerie | click attack and click somewhere and they attack until they get there and they defend the point |
10:01.02 | sedatedChipmunk | and he explodes |
10:01.08 | Cyerie | Why is the button there? |
10:01.21 | sedatedChipmunk | it makes him explode and eat all the fish around him |
10:01.25 | Cyerie | ahhh |
10:01.29 | Cyerie | but you die =\ |
10:01.31 | sedatedChipmunk | only in the level 20+ version |
10:01.40 | sedatedChipmunk | yea, so I just waited until 1 second left |
10:01.49 | sedatedChipmunk | then I kaboomed |
10:01.58 | Cyerie | wow |
10:02.01 | Cyerie | So earlier |
10:02.04 | sedatedChipmunk | and got a whole bunch at the last second |
10:02.08 | Cyerie | When you had that row of flying buildings |
10:02.13 | Cyerie | For the air towers |
10:02.17 | Cyerie | *creeps |
10:02.20 | Cyerie | For the air guys |
10:02.30 | sedatedChipmunk | oh, that i put in at the last second |
10:02.32 | Cyerie | You just shift-clicked and made a row |
10:02.35 | Cyerie | Right |
10:02.40 | sedatedChipmunk | yea |
10:02.51 | sedatedChipmunk | you can also make multi-point patrols that way |
10:02.51 | Cyerie | I clicked them one by one and lined them up |
10:03.00 | Cyerie | but I did group upgrade |
10:03.17 | Cyerie | what does patrol do for you? |
10:03.35 | sedatedChipmunk | well, if a guy is standing |
10:03.46 | sedatedChipmunk | and you order him to patrol a point |
10:04.02 | sedatedChipmunk | he'll walk back and forth between where he is and the point you specify |
10:04.22 | Cyerie | Ohh |
10:04.22 | sedatedChipmunk | until you tell him to do something else |
10:04.27 | sedatedChipmunk | attacking anything that comes by |
10:04.36 | sedatedChipmunk | then returning to his patrol |
10:04.37 | Cyerie | That's cool |
10:04.54 | sedatedChipmunk | I do it with a peon with autorepair on |
10:05.11 | sedatedChipmunk | if you hold down shift, you can make any path at all |
10:05.20 | Cyerie | hehe |
10:05.35 | sedatedChipmunk | and he'll follow them until he gets to the last point, then go to the start again |
10:05.59 | sedatedChipmunk | so I just put the peon on autorepair and make him walk around my base all game |
10:06.13 | Cyerie | hehe |
10:06.23 | sedatedChipmunk | if something's damaged when he walks past, he'll repair and then go back to patrolling |
10:06.31 | Cyerie | That's not a bad idea |
10:06.42 | Cyerie | Wisps don't really do that though I think |
10:06.50 | Cyerie | Well, I guess they could |
10:06.56 | sedatedChipmunk | and if you hold shift when you tell him to build a building, he'll build it and then go back to patrolling |
10:07.13 | Cyerie | =D |
10:07.26 | sedatedChipmunk | so you can use him without having to re-set the patrol every time |
10:07.39 | sedatedChipmunk | there's so many handy things you can do |
10:07.44 | Cyerie | So if someone shift-clicked you and told you to patrol sleep, would you go back to sleep when you were done doing other things? |
10:07.58 | Cyerie | Yeah, I don't know why I didn't know that |
10:08.09 | sedatedChipmunk | I find out new uses for order queues all the time |
10:08.13 | Cyerie | I thought it was an alternative attack-to-this-point command |
10:08.33 | sedatedChipmunk | no, it puts a little stake down |
10:08.53 | sedatedChipmunk | try it; just pick a guy and hold shift and right click all over the place |
10:09.02 | Cyerie | =D I will |
10:09.07 | Cyerie | Thanks! |
10:09.29 | sedatedChipmunk | and if you use the patrol order instead of right clicking |
10:09.32 | Cyerie | Goodnight...sun's probably coming up soon |
10:09.34 | sedatedChipmunk | when he gets to the end |
10:09.42 | sedatedChipmunk | he won't stop |
10:09.52 | sedatedChipmunk | he'll just start from the beginning and go on forever |
10:09.59 | Cyerie | Yeah, that can be good |
10:10.13 | sedatedChipmunk | patrol is handy |
10:10.26 | sedatedChipmunk | how do you think I was doing the trade missions with the battleships |
10:10.37 | Cyerie | I heard you say something like that |
10:10.50 | Cyerie | But I didn't know exactly what you meant |
10:10.56 | sedatedChipmunk | i just patrolled my boat between the destination and the quest dude |
10:11.05 | sedatedChipmunk | loading and unloading was automatic |
10:11.06 | Cyerie | but you had to sell still |
10:11.09 | Cyerie | really? |
10:11.21 | Cyerie | well then |
10:11.32 | sedatedChipmunk | so I just watched the ball game until I had enough lumber to give him a new quest |
10:11.40 | Cyerie | haha |
10:11.55 | sedatedChipmunk | then he got killed |
10:12.03 | sedatedChipmunk | and i had to watch him after that |
10:12.04 | sedatedChipmunk | punk |
10:12.06 | Cyerie | oh |
10:12.07 | Cyerie | haha |
10:12.23 | Cyerie | =) |
10:12.29 | sedatedChipmunk | the later missions you have to go past one of the enemy towers |
10:12.38 | Cyerie | yeah, the pig one |
10:12.44 | sedatedChipmunk | no, the one after that |
10:12.45 | Cyerie | That's when I stopped doing it |
10:12.47 | sedatedChipmunk | the shipwreck |
10:12.55 | sedatedChipmunk | maybe the pig too |
10:12.56 | Cyerie | later restarted, then stoppped again |
10:13.02 | Cyerie | pig was by the towers |
10:13.08 | Cyerie | but they were soon gone |
10:13.15 | sedatedChipmunk | well, I just made sure to hit my cloaking thing when I went past the towers |
10:13.21 | Cyerie | oh |
10:13.29 | Cyerie | right...we did have that |
10:13.33 | sedatedChipmunk | it's one of the abilities |
10:13.36 | Cyerie | yeah |
10:13.40 | Cyerie | I forgot |
10:13.52 | sedatedChipmunk | n00blet |
10:13.57 | Cyerie | hehe |
10:13.59 | sedatedChipmunk | <3 |
10:14.07 | Cyerie | <3 |
10:14.19 | Cyerie | g'night Myn |
10:14.26 | Cyerie | ~botsnack |
10:14.26 | purl | Cyerie: :) |
10:14.27 | sedatedChipmunk | I love how you can enjoy these games so much and not even know how to play them |
10:14.30 | Cyerie | late night snack for purl |
10:14.36 | Cyerie | Oh pshh |
10:14.45 | sedatedChipmunk | >8D |
10:14.48 | Cyerie | It makes me feel so stupid |
10:14.49 | Cyerie | hehe |
10:14.57 | sedatedChipmunk | it'd make me so frustrated to play that way |
10:15.13 | Cyerie | Well, I always think there's a trick that I'm missing |
10:15.20 | sedatedChipmunk | well, warcraft II didn't have it |
10:15.22 | Cyerie | That I'll see it next time |
10:15.41 | sedatedChipmunk | you can shift click building rally points too |
10:15.54 | Cyerie | But it's better if you can ask someone who's good at it and has figured out everything already... |
10:15.57 | Cyerie | Because really |
10:16.00 | sedatedChipmunk | if you want to make guys go a certain path get somewhere |
10:16.09 | Cyerie | I played dota back when there was no frozen throne yet |
10:16.22 | sedatedChipmunk | if the direct route goes through a bad place or something |
10:16.25 | Cyerie | And I didn't even know about the forest shops |
10:17.03 | sedatedChipmunk | you do know you can set the rally points to like your hero or resources too, right? |
10:17.29 | Cyerie | what, in dota? |
10:17.30 | sedatedChipmunk | so when you build units, they follow your hero, or mine gold or chop trees |
10:17.32 | sedatedChipmunk | in the game |
10:17.33 | Cyerie | or in general? |
10:17.38 | Cyerie | Oh I know about rally pts |
10:18.21 | sedatedChipmunk | like, my barracks I usually set the rally point on my hero |
10:18.30 | Cyerie | wait |
10:18.35 | Cyerie | 'on' the hero? |
10:18.43 | sedatedChipmunk | yea, you can do it on a unit |
10:18.45 | Cyerie | not on the ground near the hero? |
10:18.47 | Cyerie | but it moves? |
10:18.50 | sedatedChipmunk | yea |
10:18.54 | Cyerie | .... |
10:19.03 | Cyerie | how? |
10:19.07 | sedatedChipmunk | the unit will get the follow command and follow him around after you make it |
10:19.13 | sedatedChipmunk | right click on your hero |
10:19.23 | Cyerie | hm |
10:19.32 | sedatedChipmunk | or I prefer just right clicking on the portrait in the top left corner |
10:19.38 | Cyerie | Seems like I'd have done that before by mistake... |
10:19.48 | sedatedChipmunk | since that's always on screen |
10:19.54 | Cyerie | yeah |
10:20.01 | Cyerie | well now |
10:20.04 | Cyerie | that's useful |
10:20.08 | sedatedChipmunk | and your town hall, you rally to trees right? |
10:20.20 | Cyerie | for like wisps? |
10:20.22 | sedatedChipmunk | yea |
10:20.30 | Cyerie | so when they're made the gather lumber or mine gold? |
10:20.34 | Cyerie | yeah, I do that |
10:20.39 | sedatedChipmunk | so they just start harvesting when you make them |
10:20.45 | Cyerie | yep :D |
10:21.11 | Cyerie | :D |
10:21.19 | sedatedChipmunk | and it doesn't have to be your hero, obviously, with the unit following |
10:21.33 | sedatedChipmunk | can be any unit |
10:21.38 | Cyerie | okay |
10:21.41 | sedatedChipmunk | or anything really |
10:21.45 | Cyerie | that's cool |
10:21.49 | Cyerie | thanks :D |
10:21.50 | sedatedChipmunk | they'll get the default right-click order |
10:22.11 | sedatedChipmunk | so you can right click an enemy building or something and start building guys |
10:22.20 | Cyerie | :D |
10:22.22 | sedatedChipmunk | er rally point an enemy building |
10:22.29 | sedatedChipmunk | and they'll just stream over |
10:22.33 | Cyerie | wait |
10:22.37 | Cyerie | I don't understand that |
10:23.02 | sedatedChipmunk | they'll pop out and run to the building and attack it |
10:23.04 | sedatedChipmunk | one by one |
10:23.05 | Cyerie | ah..I guess I do |
10:23.10 | sedatedChipmunk | i didn't say it was a good idea |
10:23.12 | Cyerie | that's dangerous |
10:23.14 | Cyerie | yeah |
10:23.22 | Cyerie | but I didn't know what you meant |
10:23.24 | sedatedChipmunk | but it illustrates the point |
10:23.27 | Cyerie | I reread it a few times |
10:23.30 | Cyerie | I'm really sleepy |
10:23.31 | Cyerie | hehe |
10:23.36 | Cyerie | yeah :) |
10:23.44 | sedatedChipmunk | same for zeppelin loading |
10:23.54 | Cyerie | oh yeah |
10:23.58 | Cyerie | I played around with that |
10:24.04 | Cyerie | it's strange how the ship moves |
10:24.11 | Cyerie | I gotta go to bed |
10:24.19 | sedatedChipmunk | it tries to meet the unit it wants to load |
10:24.24 | sedatedChipmunk | okay |
10:24.26 | Cyerie | It's so hard to keep my eyes open |
10:24.29 | Cyerie | sorry =\ |
10:24.35 | sedatedChipmunk | there's neat shift-click tricks with zepplins too |
10:24.51 | Cyerie | =D |
10:25.00 | Cyerie | You'll have to teach me everything! |
10:25.19 | Cyerie | sweet dreams |
10:25.21 | Cyerie | :D |
10:25.29 | sedatedChipmunk | select all the guys, tell them to load in, click the zepplin, hold shift and tell it to unload somewhere |
10:25.46 | sedatedChipmunk | it'll pick up the guys, move to that spot, and unload them |
10:26.14 | Cyerie | neat |
10:26.17 | sedatedChipmunk | and you don't have to even pay attention |
10:26.19 | sedatedChipmunk | <3 |
10:26.24 | Cyerie | useful :) |
10:26.36 | sedatedChipmunk | sweet dreams |
10:26.40 | Cyerie | <3 |
10:26.42 | sedatedChipmunk | *zonk* |
10:26.49 | Cyerie | I hear that |

19:15.58 | Cyerie | Hi Adam! |
19:16.27 | demarchist | hi |
19:16.36 | demarchist | I need a set of openvpn files for rae |
19:16.52 | demarchist | she does need her own, yeah? |
19:18.09 | hyperChipmunk | actually, I think it links the networks |
19:18.15 | hyperChipmunk | hm |
19:18.22 | hyperChipmunk | no, yea |
19:18.24 | hyperChipmunk | you probably do |
19:18.51 | hyperChipmunk | or you could be leet and install it on your router |
19:19.11 | demarchist | I don't think mine supports that |
19:19.48 | hyperChipmunk | your doublethick internet condom doesn't run linux? |
19:19.54 | demarchist | newp |
19:19.58 | hyperChipmunk | shameful! |
19:20.08 | hyperChipmunk | sec |
19:20.08 | demarchist | wouldn't it work if it did |
19:22.12 | demarchist | I also wonder if it'll even let two through |
19:22.52 | demarchist | what router do you have? |
19:23.08 | hyperChipmunk | linksys wrt54g |
19:25.06 | demarchist | just the g or the gl? |
19:25.10 | hyperChipmunk | g |
19:26.24 | demarchist | that one has linux firmware? |
19:26.35 | hyperChipmunk | yea |
19:33.39 | demarchist | works |
19:33.51 | demarchist | throw up a game really quick |
19:34.45 | hyperChipmunk | ofc it works |
19:34.47 | hyperChipmunk | I'm awesome |
19:36.44 | Cyerie | tell me when you're playing :) |
19:36.50 | demarchist | not just yet |
20:38.54 | demarchist | anybody there? |
20:45.39 | demarchist | hello!? |
20:58.28 | hyperChipmunk | yo |
20:58.35 | demarchist | hey |
20:58.37 | hyperChipmunk | I'm bringing pandamonium |
20:58.59 | demarchist | rae's almost ready to go, is there game |
20:59.12 | hyperChipmunk | there be game |
20:59.28 | hyperChipmunk | ashley had to go help her mom with groceries |
20:59.28 | demarchist | I thought maybe the sheep TD |
20:59.40 | demarchist | how long will she be doing that? |
20:59.44 | hyperChipmunk | we were playing another map that will be good |
21:00.00 | hyperChipmunk | you just control your hero |
21:00.04 | hyperChipmunk | so it's pretty simple |
21:00.09 | demarchist | ok |
21:00.19 | demarchist | as long as it's simple and fun |
21:00.34 | hyperChipmunk | game up |
21:00.48 | hyperChipmunk | yea, this was my first time and i figured it out pretty quick |
21:00.54 | hyperChipmunk | and the two of us got pretty far |
21:01.12 | hyperChipmunk | so we can hold our own while she learns |
21:12.38 | Cyerie | back |
21:13.04 | Cyerie | ohhh |
21:14.22 | Cyerie | that's kinda a long game |
21:14.23 | Cyerie | afk |
21:14.38 | hyperChipmunk | ooh |
21:14.44 | hyperChipmunk | we were showing her how to play |
21:15.08 | Cyerie | nvm |
21:15.13 | Cyerie | yeah :) |
