(04:38 PM) NoahT The 30 turn spawn cycle existed in Webfoot DROD.
(04:38 PM) Jeff_Ray... But can I put it on my smoked-meat burger? PPP
(04:39 PM) NoahT However, until one of AE's beta builds, roach queens spawned one turn later in the cycle.
(04:40 PM) Vike91 seriously, someone should make a hold which tells what's behind the 30 turn rule
(04:40 PM) Vike91 like, in a story context
(04:42 PM) Jeff_Ray... It was a law signed by the roach dominions after the "spawn-archy" crisis of 634 B.D. which forces roach queens to spawn at state-mandated times only. It was also on this treaty that spawning on trapdoors, force arrows, and open doors was deemed illegal.
(04:43 PM) Pinnacle But only yellow doors for some reason
(04:44 PM) Nuntar Other open doors didn't exist yet.
(04:44 PM) Jeff_Ray... That's because only yellow doors were allowed to have open versions of them back in those days. Eventually there was a "Door Equality" bill that allowed other doors to have open versions, but that only came around the time Beethro reached the City.
(04:44 PM) Vike91 Jeff_Ray...
(04:44 PM) hyperme yellow doors are painted with something that kills the eggs i guess
(04:44 PM) Nuntar All the ones in post-TCB holds that are set prior to TCB were planted there by mischievous time travllers.
(04:45 PM) hyperme time travel is canon, so nuntar is clearly correct
(04:45 PM) Jeff_Ray... Actually, it was a move from door activists who had stumbled upon time travel
(04:53 PM) NoahT And the paint on yellow doors is also double-proof.
(04:53 PM) NoahT It's all flawlessly consistent.

×Camwoodstock: [12:19 PM]: Hey, wait a moment...
Camwoodstock: [12:19 PM]: Did the progress bar of the Caravel Forums vanish?
Insoluble: [12:20 PM]: Hunh. Yeah, seams to have.
Insoluble: [12:21 PM]: At any rate, good luck with your last required room in MoAR.
Insoluble: [12:21 PM]: You'll prob. get it soon enough. The concept behind the room isn't too tough, but it's unfortunately mired in inelegant execution.
Camwoodstock: [12:22 PM]: Question now is, how are we meant to get the Skywatcher counts now?
Camwoodstock: [12:22 PM]: The progress bar was how you got those IIRC; you just clicked it and it'd tell you.
Insoluble: [12:22 PM]: Should be able to check the challenge scoreboard. Though you have to use arcane magic to find it.
Camwoodstock: [12:22 PM]: ...And also, questions about this last room in MOAR, but that's aside the matter.
Insoluble: [12:23 PM]: I'll post it here for you, but then I'll get auto-banned for a day for revealing its existance.
Insoluble: [12:23 PM]: (Obviously, if you would get auto-banned for a day, I wouldn't want to send the actual link here. Just look around for it and you can find it. Also,
BTW, this is Cam writing post-chatlog, NOT Insoluble. Just in case you were confused.)
Insoluble: [12:24 PM]: Anyway, I have to go pick up my daughter from school because the school district panicked and decided to close school early today in fear of the oncoming snowstorm.
Camwoodstock: [12:24 PM]: And then we never heard from Insoluble ever again. A noble sacrifice.
Camwoodstock: [12:24 PM]: Oh c'mon, I was trying to make a joke there!
Insoluble: [12:24 PM]: heh.

×Camwoodstock: [01:06 AM]: I just realized how much we take things like pressure plates for granted nowadays.
Camwoodstock: [01:06 AM]: I think we take a LOT of scripting for granted, too.
Camwoodstock: [01:06 AM]: Remember back in AE? You had to use orbs. And SCROLLS.
Camwoodstock: [01:06 AM]: Lots. And lots. Of scrolls.
Tahnan: [01:06 AM]: oh my yes.
Camwoodstock: [01:06 AM]: More scrolls than your scroll wheel on your mouse can actually handle, causing it to break on impact.
Camwoodstock: [01:07 AM]: We have it PRETTY easy nowadays.
Camwoodstock: [01:07 AM]: Anyways, I'm only up so late 'cuz I couldn't sleep.
Camwoodstock: [01:07 AM]: I then thought it'd be a wise idea to go ahead and check the new art on an art website I'm on, see if anyone I follow posted anything... and saw a monstrocity in the "newest art" section.
Camwoodstock: [01:08 AM]: So I'm kinda staying up out of fear that the nightmare will resemble anything like the greasiest rotten chicken ever.
Tahnan: [01:08 AM]: Told you to stop reading the Shatner mpreg forums, but noooo.
Camwoodstock: [01:08 AM]: Or at least, I think.
Camwoodstock: [01:08 AM]: Mpreg? What kinda thing do you think scares me, DeviantArt?
Camwoodstock: [01:09 AM]: I've seen actual horrible stuff, not this "inflation art is cringe and i am a normal human hence i am laughing at you instead of treating you like a person" stuff.
Camwoodstock: [01:09 AM]: And trust me, you don't wanna see it.
Camwoodstock: [01:09 AM]: ...
Camwoodstock: [01:09 AM]: It's what we call MOAR.
Insoluble: [01:09 AM]: "Shatner" was enough to send sivers down my spine.
Camwoodstock: [01:09 AM]: Well, not really. But it's comparable, I'd wager.
Camwoodstock: [01:10 AM]: Really? All I could think of was William Shatner. And mpreg of him just kinda sounds more weird than nightmarish.
Camwoodstock: [01:10 AM]: ...
Insoluble: [01:10 AM]: Also, @Camwoodstock I'm playing through some of the new stuff. Will try to post feedback in a bit. But you should see demos for the [???] level.
Camwoodstock: [01:10 AM]: I think 1:11 AM CaravelNet Chat is a weird place indeed.
Camwoodstock: [01:10 AM]: @Insoluble: I'll try tomorrow.
Insoluble: [01:10 AM]: Come one Billy Shat doesn't chill your spine a bit?
Camwoodstock: [01:11 AM]: Billy who now?
Insoluble: [01:11 AM]: CaravelNet is always weird for some definition of weird.
Camwoodstock: [01:11 AM]: Yeah, but never has mpreg came up in CaravelNet chat.
Insoluble: [01:11 AM]: Shanter man. Shatner.
Camwoodstock: [01:11 AM]: Especially William Shatner mpreg.
Camwoodstock: [01:12 AM]: But oh lordy, let me tell you I've seen much weirder--and worse.
Insoluble: [01:12 AM]: Alright. A bit more testing then time to call it a night.
Camwoodstock: [01:12 AM]: For instance, people are okay with sinking in tar and mud. Possibly even dying.
Camwoodstock: [01:12 AM]: All I can think of is, "KING DUGAN WHY."
Tahnan: [01:12 AM]: ...where he's an ocelot or something...
Camwoodstock: [01:12 AM]: ...Real talk? I think DROD has given me an eternal hatred of tar
and mud, period.
Tahnan: [01:13 AM]: How much tar do you encounter in the world?
Camwoodstock: [01:13 AM]: Earlier today I was walking home from a convenience store in a call with a friend, and I nearly slipped on some still-wet mud from an earlier storm, nearly dropped my drink, and nearly had my head slam dunked onto the road.
Camwoodstock: [01:13 AM]: I actually audibly yelled, "MUUUUUD!!".
Camwoodstock: [01:14 AM]: @Tahnan: Well, usually it's dried up by the time I encounter it, but the next time you see them filling cracks in the road... Just realize what they're using to fill those.
Tahnan: [01:14 AM]: Asphalt?
Camwoodstock: [01:15 AM]: Wait, it's not tar? I swore it was tar as a kid...
Camwoodstock: [01:15 AM]: Ah, whatever. It's 1AM over here so I dunno.
Tahnan: [01:15 AM]: Dunno. Do you have an asphalt phobia?
Camwoodstock: [01:15 AM]: Nope.
Camwoodstock: [01:15 AM]: But my point still stands. I hate tar and mud so much it's leaked
into every part of my life.
Tahnan: [01:15 AM]: They eat it in Finland.
Camwoodstock: [01:16 AM]: Not because I'm AFRAID of tar and mud... okay, tar and mud rooms in DROD are a pain, so that's kinda lying, but I'm not terrified in the sense I have a phobia.
Camwoodstock: [01:16 AM]: Now the real question of the night is, how did we get from me being awake at 1AM, to William Shatner mpreg, to my hate for tar and mud becoming universal?
Camwoodstock: [01:17 AM]: Answer, and I might just give you my next rank point I can give. Might.
Tahnan: [01:17 AM]: Where he's an ocelot or something.
Dragon Fogel: [01:17 AM]: I think the answer is that you probably need to get to sleep.
Camwoodstock: [01:17 AM]: Yeah, I probably should.
Camwoodstock: [01:18 AM]: Thing is, I tried, but I couldn't, hence I... oh, you can read the chat archives, I don't need to repeat that.
Tahnan: [01:18 AM]: oh, look, it's Dragon Fogel, the person I blame for all my current DROD woes.
Tahnan: [01:18 AM]: At least, "CH" has this prominent "DF" everywhere, so I'm assuming it's all Dragon Fogel's fault.
Dragon Fogel: [01:20 AM]: If I were going by a pseudonym to try to escape being associated with a subpar hold, it wouldn't be one that gave me a [element]-related headache.
Insoluble: [01:20 AM]: If anything Fogel is partially responsible for making that hold slightly less painful.
Insoluble: [01:20 AM]: *slightly*
Tahnan: [01:21 AM]: This is hard. Really hard. Also [element], which I already hate.
mauvebutterfly: [01:21 AM]: Didn't his input result in twice as many rooms though?
Insoluble: [01:21 AM]: Now the [element] level only makes you want to claw your eyes out and throw your computer out the window.
Insoluble: [01:21 AM]: Before it induced genocidal rage.
Insoluble: [01:21 AM]: So: improvement
Camwoodstock: [01:22 AM]: That would be an improvement.
mauvebutterfly: [01:22 AM]: It's less hard for completion, but worse for 100% since the bad rooms were still included as secrets, right?
Dragon Fogel: [01:22 AM]: Yeah but at least you can beat the hold without dealing with the worse versions of the rooms.
Insoluble: [01:22 AM]: yea, [the architect] had the marvelous idea to keep all the rooms everyone hated but just make them secret.
Dragon Fogel: [01:22 AM]: Those still didn't get to me as much as that dang [kept secret for sake of privacy, but if you've seen fogel in chat you could probably guess what element would upset him] puzzle.
Camwoodstock: [01:23 AM]: Then again, I think the concept of "keep a scrapped room for a bonus" has been around since at least JtRH Postmastery.
Camwoodstock: [01:23 AM]: Anyhow, I'm off to try to sleep again.
Insoluble: [01:23 AM]: Just becasue something has been done for ages doesn't make it right.
Camwoodstock: [01:23 AM]: Please do not send me any William Shatner Mpreg.
Camwoodstock: [01:23 AM]: @Insoluble: I wasn't justifying it. I was just sayin' it's been a thing for awhile, even in official holds.
Dragon Fogel: [01:24 AM]: We're starting to push back against it a little.

(hold names, and contents of rooms have been censored for the sake of protecting privacy--some have since said they'd rather not be too harsh on the rooms and holds being discussed here anyhow. of course, this is okay if it's an official hold or my upcoming hold... but that's all i'll be saying about that latter one for now)

×Trickster: [04:59 PM]: It's a quirk of C++'s system for including files being [STOP, RUDE, THERE ARE KIDS HERE] terrible

Camwoodstock: [05:11 PM]: Yeah, obviously no ban.
Schik: [05:11 PM]: >.>
Chaco: [05:12 PM]: make sure the printer doesn't run out of colored toner, you guys

(NOTE: Originally, the orange was magenta and the blue was cyan. Buuuut, I couldn't figure out how to make the forum print text that color. So I just picked the closest ones.)

×(08:53 PM) Dragon Fogel Well. I'm done now.
(08:53 PM) Insoluble Nice. Back to all scores?
(08:53 PM) Chaco Congrats!
(08:53 PM) Dragon Fogel Yep.
(08:54 PM) admin New DROD Hold "Tinytall Tower" has been promoted.

×(02:09 PM) Elfstone there are claymores in RPG?
(02:10 PM) Chaco Not by default, but it's not difficult to create custom weapons
(02:10 PM) Chaco I think Nameless Fortress has one
(02:12 PM) Nuntar Yup. You added it, actually That one has 45 ATK, but in Castle Repton and my other holds, I always give the Claymore 50 as a nice intermediate between the Short Sword and Longsword
(02:13 PM) Elfstone splutters
(02:14 PM) Elfstone 'nice intermediate"?
(02:14 PM) Elfstone claymores were huge two-handed things
(02:14 PM) Nuntar They have 30 and 70 ATK respectively. I usually feel that going up +40 at once is too much of a leap so it's interesting to have another sword in between these
(02:14 PM) Chaco I suppose if you made it shorter then it wouldn't be a claymore anymore
(02:15 PM) Nuntar Well, blame Chaco for that
(02:15 PM) Chaco It'd be a clayless, no less
(02:15 PM) NoahT
(02:15 PM) Chaco I was young and foolish back then! Now I'm just foolish.
(02:16 PM) Chaco Anyway, point is with just some custom graphics and basic scripting you can add all sorts of medieval weaponry to the game.
(02:17 PM) Nuntar Or modern A Raygun, for instance
(02:17 PM) Chaco Or even things that aren't strictly speaking weapons. No reason why your RPG hero can't have a butterfly net or a rake.
(02:17 PM) NoahT Or a hybrid, like the Raydart.
(02:17 PM) Elfstone https://www.nationalwallacemonument.com/sir-william-wallace/the-wallace-sword/
(02:18 PM) Chaco Or a plate of fettucine alfredo.
(02:18 PM) Chaco (the ATK rating on that last one isn't very high)
(02:18 PM) Nuntar Yeah, probably should be more like 100 ATK on that, but it's done now
(02:19 PM) NoahT Unless the target has high cholesterol.
(02:19 PM) Elfstone I'm stting here chuckling
(02:19 PM) Chaco Now that's a Big Sword.
(02:19 PM) Elfstone you're a comedy turn, you two
(02:19 PM) Elfstone Chaco - isn't it
(02:19 PM) Chaco Getting that thing out of its sheath must have been hard.
(02:19 PM) hyperme just give the player a Somewhat Large Mace or Decently Sized Hammer as an inbetween weapon
(02:20 PM) Elfstone must have had forearm muscles of steel to wield that
(02:23 PM) NoahT Perhaps there could be golf club or baseball bat weapons.
(02:23 PM) Nuntar There could if someone would sprite them

skell: New tooth!
skell: My kid now has officially 9 teeth!
Insoluble: Rad!
Chaco: Congratulations!
Chaco: Hopefully they'll have an entire mouth full of teeth before anybody tells them about the Tooth Fairy.
Pearls: Mini-skell, bite him!
skell: He likes to slap me in the face
skell: Or a wall
skell: Maybe he thinks my face is a wall
Pearls: I feel like I personally identify with your kid.
Schik: skell's kid is my spirit animal
Dragon Fogel: skell's face is a big, beautiful wall and Mexico should pay for it.
Dragon Fogel: (sorry, that popped into my head and I couldn't just leave it there)

×(12:26 PM) Insoluble Oh hey Schik. Welcome back. Sorry to hear about your computer woes.
(12:28 PM) skell Schik's computer was consumed by his pet roach
(12:28 PM) Schik Yo. I'm sorry I'm terrible at backing things up. But last night I did make some significant progress towards rebuilding.
(12:28 PM) NoahT So did you have anything backed up?
(12:28 PM) Schik Sure, I have some things backed up. But they aren't spiders.
(12:29 PM) NoahT Hopefully it won't be too hard to recreate.
(12:29 PM) Insoluble I'm rotten at backing things up too. This whole fiasco actually made me realize that I have like, 6 years worth of pictures that exist only on one hard drive and are backed up precisely nowhere.
(12:29 PM) Insoluble Going to try to rectify that this weekend.
(12:30 PM) Schik Good call. I probably do need to look at other things that aren't backed up.
(12:30 PM) NoahT I just hope this wasn't Erik waiting a decade and a half to get revenge for what happened to his rank points.
(12:30 PM) Insoluble Heh.
(12:30 PM) hyperme dun dun dun!

×Camwoodstock: [08:39 PM]: Pssst, guys... If Erik did something without Mike's permission... Would it be... Without Rimer Reason?
Camwoodstock: [12:40 PM]: I verily much understand why the chat has been dead silent after my statement from earlier.]
Pearls: [12:40 PM]: how could you
