What you would do with the Orb of Zot

[Grimm]

Archbishop. Alliteration is always to be attended to.

[Confidence Interval]

Your point is well made but the standard usage refers to the bishop.

[Grimm]

There's a local exception.

[Confidence Interval]

That notion is much disputed.

[Grimm]

That something is disputed doesn't mean it's wrong.

[Confidence Interval]

I agree. In this case it is, however, wrong.

[Grimm]

No it isn't.

Local:

Q.E.D. McMotherfucker.

[BlackSheep]

The fuck?

[Confidence Interval]

Q.E.D. McMotherfucker.

I was referring to the doctrine of American Exceptionalism in general rather than the extent to which that phrase is used in any given circumstance.

[Grimm]

So basically you're defending a thesis that no one else here is even discussing.

[Confidence Interval]

Well, it was that or dip into the manic flurry of participation that the bishop-vs-archbishop debate has become - and I just didn't feel I'd be able to keep up with that. So yes, for better or for worse, I am having a discussion with myself.

[Grimm]

Never dipped into a flurry I didn't like, is my motto.

[Grimm]

I think the real problem is that we are casting about for a good new funny trope and not finding one.

[Confidence Interval]

Never dipped into a flurry I didn't like, is my motto.

Yes but perhaps you have dipped and regretted it later - ?

[Confidence Interval]

casting about for a good new funny trope and not finding one.

Story of my life...

[Grimm]

I am lately striving to abandon all regrets. Doesn't pay.

We actually had a good run of wacky bits for a while. What's it been, a year now? Remember "New class proposal: Beat poet"? Those were funny times. But we're old men now. Perhaps it's time to step aside and let the whippersnappers flex their tiny but supple comedy muscles.

[Confidence Interval]

I am lately striving to abandon all regrets. Doesn't pay.

I agree.

Perhaps it's time to step aside and let the whippersnappers flex their tiny but supple comedy muscles.

Again I agree. But the problem is that they're just not funny.

[Grimm]

I know, I know. What is to be done. WHAT IS TO BE DONE

[Confidence Interval]

I know, I know. What is to be done. WHAT IS TO BE DONE

That is, without doubt, one of the burning questions of our movement.

[Grimm]

The essential question in CYC is "Who - whom?"

[Confidence Interval]

The essential question in CYC is "Who - whom?"

Don't forget "With what?"

[Grimm]

And "What potions were you carrying?"

[Confidence Interval]

And "Did you ascend?"

[Grimm]

And "How many divisions does dpeg have?"

[chukamok]

I am lately striving to abandon all regrets. Doesn't pay.

I agree.

Again I agree. But the problem is that they're just not funny.

If only Grimm would stop editing your incredibly hilarious posts, we wouldn't have this problem.

[Grimm]

burn

[Confidence Interval]

Fortunately I have rF++.

[Jabberwocky]

Oh dear, that's only 66% resistance.

[Blyxx]

I would use it to artificially crossbreed a race of Troll/Spriggans and then create a new weapon type to arm my new legion with: the Giant Spiked Quickblade.

[Stormfox]

Um, Troll/Spriggan crossbreed:

Biggest playable race + smallest playable race == medium size.

Fastest metabolism + slowest metabolism == standard metabolism.

Carnivore 3 + Herbivore 3 == No dietary restriction.

Good melee (except short blades)/bad everything else + good ranged and magic (plus short blades)/bad everything else == pretty average apts.

So does that mean if you cross trolls and spriggans, you get humans?

[Jabberwocky]

No, you get porn that only minmay watches.

You get goblins.

[Zicher]

Carnivore 3 + Herbivore 3 == No dietary restriction.

Carnivore 3 = no herbs for you.
Herbivore 3 = no meat for you.

Carnivore 3 + Herbivore 3 = no _nothing_ for you (except bread rations, if the devs are nice (can Kobolds eat bread? Can't recall now ...).

You have to play _fast_.

[BlackSheep]

Kobolds and Felids cannot eat bread or fruit.

[Zicher]

Kobolds and Felids cannot eat bread or fruit.

Then it is absolutely no food for you. Better stock up on those potions of porridge and find as many fountains as possible ...

Well there's always honeycombs, pizza, cheese, ambrosia, and royal jellies.

Oh. True.
/me feels a bit stupid right now.

[SchwaWarrior]

No, you get porn that only minmay watches.

Heyyy, not ONLY minmay!

[Jabberwocky]

you and minmay might get along quite well personally

[rebthor]

Soo, back on topic. JeffQzyt had a way better version of what I would have done. Anyhow, you can't just leave that Orb lying around just anywhere - there are loads of adventurers who will kill anything and everything to get it. Best to put it somewhere safe.

[SchwaWarrior]

I doubt that. :-/

I tend to feel like most oldbies at these forums don't care for me much. 'Cause I act like a kid.

[Grimm]

This oldbie appreciates your style, even if I don't read every word.

[Confidence Interval]

Back on topic: I would eat it.

[Grimm]

Condiments?

[Blyxx]

Condiments?

Rune crumbles. And served in the horn of Geryon.

[Confidence Interval]

As a starter I'm thinking a cocktail of kraken and yak meat: surf and turf, Crawl-stylee.

[Grimm]

Excellent choice sir. And the wine to go with that?

[some12fat2move]

A nice viscous red sounds good. Should be safe as I've already identified degeneration, mutation, and cure mutation.

[Confidence Interval]

Yuck - this tastes like blood.

[Grimm]

Ah, the red red krovvy.
