Generic Brainstorming!

[Confidence Interval]

it could throw javelins

How?

[Grimm]

By making them move away from it through the air.

[Confidence Interval]

Your answer begs the question.

[Confidence Interval]

You seem to be avoiding the issue of spear-chucking pigs.

[Grimm]

[Confidence Interval]

Who you trying to kid? That ain't no javelina!

[Grimm]

It's proof of concept. I leave the coding to dedicated parties.

[Confidence Interval]

I don't see how a guinea pig* with a toothpick proves anything that is contextually relevant.

(* or whatever)

[Grimm]

Do the math.

[Mankeli]

Is that you, varkarrus?

[Confidence Interval]

Do the math.

I did. It doesn't add up.

[Grimm]

Do the other math.

[Confidence Interval]

Which? There are so many.

[Grimm]

THE ONE THAT PROVES ME RIGHT

[Confidence Interval]

The multiverse of Maths is vast, near infinite, but THERE IS NO SUCH MATH AS THAT.

[Grimm]

Would it violate Goedel's Theorems or something.

[Confidence Interval]

I saw the movie.

[Grimm]

Which one - "Algebra II: The Search for Curley's Gold"?

[Confidence Interval]

The Violation of Gödel's Theorem.

[Grimm]

Kurt Does Kansas

[Confidence Interval]

Grimm does Grantown-on-Spey.

[Grimm]

in soviet russia

[Confidence Interval]

in soviet russia

...Grantown-on-Spey does Grimm?

[Grimm]

You catch on quick, for a newb.

[Confidence Interval]

I didn't have you down as a bottom.

[Grimm]

By "does" we mean "dresses up like".

[Confidence Interval]

Yeah, right.

[Jabberwocky]

Worker bees get should be able to cast hellfire.

new album of crawlpop: Milestones on the Killing Curve

[Confidence Interval]

New vault proposal: The vault consists of a single tile and instead of a secret door, the vault is accessed by a giant egg-shaped rock that can be rolled aside. Inside is a player ghost. The only loot is a robe.

[Grimm]

Too spoilery.

[cerebovssquire]

new album of crawlpop: Milestones on the Killing Curve

feature hits such as
whoa babe, i'd walk through tartarus for you-ou-ou
and a cover of Kann denn Liebe Sünde sein ft. Dowan and Duvessa

[adozu]

and on the cover there's an orb of fire in a sexy pose

I thought a bit about Dg and found it too vanilla, and if their originality are not of great importance we will be able to ascend as

Automaton, magic-driven construct
A: no food or potions, torment resistance, unbreathing, no shapeshifting, (slow healling 1), (rC+, rF+), rN+++, rP+++, rE-, rAcid-, mummy spell restrictions, maybe branded UC from auras. And slow.
a: haste on will (from 150% to 67% delay): free activate, drains MP over time (something about XL in 54 chance to lose 1 mp each action/turn, careful tweaking is necessary).
Something like high Evo and UC, good Spc and Cj, mundane other aptitudes, average stats and hp/mp.

I think I can implement it if people are interested.

now there's a song i wasn't expecting to get mentioned around here

[a9qd0wf]

intrinsic haste ability 10/10 for balance

Eventually every one character will learn Haste, so it wouldn't be of great imba
Oh, and one thing I've forgot about
haste, obviously, causes glow wich causes rust (self-restoration for more mummy plagiarism) which causes more slowness

Spoiler: show

which causes more haste using, so, evetually every Au char will hit +∞ action delay — quite challenging even for skilled players!

[adozu]

not true that everyone will learn haste, many characters are just fine with a wand and a couple recharge scrolls to use for really nasty stuff + having it early > having it lategame.

not to mention: if this guy goes chei enough rust could eventually oneshot cerebov with slouch.

[Grimm]

I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA

[a9qd0wf]

early haste, dives to zig, goes chei, oneshotting screens of Antaeuses, mah god

Maybe it's not very clear, but it is soulless machines, they do not understand the concept of teism.
On serious note now: early haste is called "SpFoo" or "HO/MfFoo" for running or bashing, if you find it too POWYRFIL when combined — increase mana loss, if even now it wreaks havoc and allows treat mean cyclops and hydras like popcorn — nerf it by limiting activations, charge by, eg, leveling up and ?recharge; after all, compare it to berserking.

[cerebovssquire]

I'M CONVINCED AS WELL NOW

[Bomanz]

I love this community.

[Confidence Interval]

I don't understand the proposal. Is it that all characters should be hasted, all of the time? If so, ++ from me.

[Grimm]

You can get that same effect from overclocking your processor.

[Confidence Interval]

Doesn't that make all the baddies move faster, too?

[Grimm]

"Baddies"? What are we, twelve?

[Confidence Interval]

"Baddies"? What are we, twelve?

You may recall, as you are wont to do, that we have had that discussion before.

[Grimm]

I guess we are twelve then. Baddies it is.

[Confidence Interval]

Now that's cleared up, what about this everyone-gets-haste idea? Sounds great to me!
