CCP RIGHT NOW opened memo on board FRUITY RUMPUS ASSHOLE FACTORY. CURRENT negligentNightingale [CNN] RIGHT NOW responded to memo. CNN: Are we all here? CURRENT tamedSundowner [CTS] RIGHT NOW responded to memo. CTS: Looks like it. CURRENT aeolianAdventurer [CAA] RIGHT NOW responded to memo. CAA: cool! CCP: Mhmm. CNN: good. CNN: once again, note the *ping* CTS: No. CNN: come on dude don't be a downer CNN: turn that frown into a slightly less pronounced frown CCP: It is just the alert noise. CTS: Why do we have to talk abou the ding? CTS: *about CAA: why indeed CNN: PING CTS: It's just a notification noice. CTS: *noise CTS: Wow I can't spell today. CNN: it sounds like a submarine okay CNN: just CNN: never mind. CTS: A sonar? CCP: That does not excuse your obsession, Ezra. CCP: Yes, Garrett. These comments already happened last time. CNN: yes a sonar ping, to indicate the scanny machine's fuctionability CNN: functionality? CTS: Then why didn't you just say sonar. CNN: anyway CAA: "scanny machine". CTS: What was the point of saying submarine. CCP: I made the same mistake the other day. CNN: because ping is much more fucking fun you fuckin downer CCP: So if you do not drop it you will embarrass me as well. CNN: can we move on CTS: How am I a downer for not wanting to talk about a ping? CCP: Ugh, drop it Garrett, seriously. CNN: yes. most definitely CAA: guys, let's stay on topic. CTS: Whatever, your logic sucks. Let's move on. CCP: Well, we do not have a topic. CCP: Not one I know of anyways. CNN: yes, on topic. go back to the yellow brick road little red riging downer CCP: Heh. CTS: Little ORANGE Riding Downer, mind you. CAA: i think it's more of a brown. CNN: scuttle off to grandmas house with your depression cookies CNN: mustard CCP: Enough burnination. CTS: Fucking mustard and brown, it's orange. CCP: Does anybody have an actual topic of discussion? CTS: In general it's orange. CNN: okay whatever. orange CNN: existential crisis orange CTS: You seem to be in a very sassy mood today, Ezra. CNN: you seem to be in a verry downer mood today CAA: it's a good change of pace. CAA: you're livlier. CTS: Still don't see how not wanting to talk about some ping noise makes me a downer, but whatever. CTS: Why'd you make this memo? CAA: yes, why? CNN: you guys are fuckin making fun of me in some way. go back to grandmas house to get eaten by the wolf who likes existential crisis orange and oh-noo-iminent-doom green CCP: Do I seriously have to ask somebody if they are under the influence of narcotics every time we speak? CTS: Oh, you seem quite mad for something that's not happening. CTS: Ezra, have you been drinking again? CCP: Ezra, stop acting weird. Tell us if you had somethign to talk about. CCP: If not, let us all think of something. CAA: yeah! CNN: do i seriously have to ask somebody if they can just note the fucking *PING* every time we speak CNN: oh, no there isn't anything specific CAA: no. CTS: No. CNN: and no, GARRY, i have most definitely NOT been drinking CCP: Good. CTS: Yeah, we don't need that happeneing again. CNN: nor will i have will have been drinking CCP: Now, let us thin kabout something we can talk about. CAA: yeah. CAA: i heard you guys did gameplanning without me. CNN: yeah CTS: More like "Let's interrogate Garrett on mystery game person", but yeah. CNN: heheh CCP: Let us not go down that route again. CTS: Please no. CCP: Anyways, we decided it would be best for my connection to hold up the server. CNN: someone gets mad every time we talk about this CAA: true. CCP: Yes, so drop it. CNN: oddly enough, it's not even the same person every time CTS: It's done and over with. CTS: No more, dude. CCP: Quite. CNN: yes we established that lupe is the server CCP: I do not think the game can sustain itself as a topic of conversation anymore. CAA: this is true. CTS: Yeah, no more to talk about it, really. CNN: so then what CCP: We need something new to talk about. CTS: Don't look at me, I'm a follower, not a leader. CAA: i move to strike relationships from the agenda. CAA: all in favour? CTS: What. CNN: aye CCP: Those are better discussed in private conversations anyways. CCP: So yes, aye. CTS: Eh, aye as well. CTS: I'm not one for relationships either. CNN: heh CNN: heheh CAA: thank you. CCP: No, stop. CNN: aye aye. like a pirate CNN: in all seriousness though. new topics? CCP: Okay, so if what we know about the game cannot sustain a conversation, CCP: Maybe we should talk about our speculations. CAA: sure, why not. CCP: What is each one of us expecting, and what do they hope for. CAA: good idea, kid/ CCP: Ugh. CCP: Do not start that here, Meli! CNN: well garrett and I are pretty sure that it'll involve some sort of alchemy that interacts with our captcha cards CTS: Oh yeah, that. CNN: and, by extension, real-world items CAA: that sounds interesting. CAA: but what do you mean by alchemy? CCP: How are we going to get these real-world items, if we are only copying the game over the internet? CNN: and optionally, potions. garrett suggested that one CTS: I think it'll be some sort of combination system, but that's me. CTS: Potions? CTS: I never suggested that. CNN: you asked if alchemy meant potions CCP: I mean, we will not have the required equipment, if the original came with it. CNN: anyway yes. item combination is what we came up with CAA: that's cool. CAA: what would that be used for though? CNN: no it'll probably be a gaming abstraction with a really complicated algorithm of some sort CTS: Making new gear I suppose. CNN: we use real items to make in-game items CCP: I do hope real alchemy plays a part... CAA: haha. CAA: magic isn't real, you silly child. CTS: Like, maybe I could alchemize my greatsword with a stick and get a wooden sword, maybe. CTS: And Meli, don't start that here. CAA: ;p CTS: She gets enough of it from you as it is. CCP: Meli, are you in some kind of bad mood? CAA: no, what would make you think that? CCP: You seem to be antagonizing me a whole lot! CNN: haha CAA: that's just what older siblings do. CCP: You are not my older sister! CAA: pseudosister, whatever. CCP: What do I have to do to convince you of that!? CNN: turn her into something lame CTS: Meli! CAA: mhm. CTS: Cool it. CTS: Now. CAA: i'm calm. CAA: so calm. CTS: Then stop. CAA: if you say so. CTS: And I do. CTS: Stop teasing her. CAA: fine. CNN: so anything else, aside from possible alchemy? CAA: i got nothing. CCP: Well, I do not much about it, so I cannot really make educated guesses. CAA: garrett's the one cavorting around with flower people. CNN: garry, you know the plant princess. CNN: what about you? CCP: But if you think gear is part of it, I would risk roleplaying elements? CCP: As in, roleplaying game elements. CNN: how so, L? CTS: Oh my god guys. CTS: I don't know anything, she hasn't been on recently. CCP: Well, this is only speculation. CTS: Can't ask her. CAA: what's this roleplaying business about, anyway? CCP: Also, I thought we voted to keep relationships out of this. CCP: That includes plant princesses. CAA: we never said anything about relationships... CNN: yes, but she's the one who supplied the game L CCP: It was your idea, Meli. CNN: and then there's uh CNN: there's obviously nothing with Meli and Garry CCP: We just voted to strike it from the agenda unanimously. CAA: yeah, so? CAA: what i meant was, CAA: we never said planty and garry had any relations. CAA: only you said that. CCP: Okay, let us just drop it right now. CNN: sigh, CTS: Let's please drop it. CCP: He already answered your question anyways. CNN: Lupe, your speculations? CTS: Exactly. CNN: haha i just thought of a new name CNN: GarHar CTS: What. CCP: Well, Garrett's comment about gear made me think of roleplaying games, that is all. CTS: No. CAA: well, i guess that's a reasonable assumption. CNN: well i mean how would it obstruct the roleplay aspect CCP: Oh, no I meant. CNN: or conflict with it CCP: I would risk a guess: roleplaying elements. CTS: Like quests? CCP: Maybe? CNN: oh, you mean like CNN: higher level items as youo progress CNN: ? CTS: That would make sense. CCP: I was thinking more about class-based systems. CNN: i suppose. you could essentially combine a sword with a chainsaw or something and BAM ultimate murder weapon CNN: ohhh CTS: That I could do. CTS: Lucky me CCP: Fighters, thieves, rangers and well... CCP: Witches. CAA: well, guys, if it's alchemy CNN: mini chainsaw knives CAA: then you need to put in something to get something out CNN: hell. yess. CNN: so it could fail, is what you're saying? CNN: and you would lose an item CCP: No, I think she means you sacrifice stuff to get better stuff. CAA: yeah. CCP: That is how alchemy works, in most stories. CNN: ultimate solution for gear hoarders haha CTS: Hah, yeah. CCP: Well, not necessarily better stuff, just. CNN: different CCP: For something great you must pay an equal price. CCP: Somethign liek that. CCP: ((Way to spell everything wrong, me)) CNN: it makes sense, physically CTS: It does. CNN: you can't pull a sword from a cloud. you have to have metal, or ore or whatever CTS: Sucks for me then. CNN: oh, L! CNN: your class comment reminded me about the classes CNN: there are going to be classes CCP: Really? CNN: yes CCP: Good! CTS: Like what? CNN: based on your skillsets or something. it seems to be really great, as far as how it's put together goes CNN: must have taken forever to make CCP: Meli, are you ok? CTS: Yeah, it's like it took the entirety of time to make it. CAA: i'm fine. CAA: little tired. CAA: if there are classes i'd better be a pilot. CTS: From egging on Lupe too much? CCP: Drop it Garrett. CTS: Sorry. CAA: i've got to go CNN: oh okay. good night CAA: dinner's ready CAA: see you all later. CAA ceased responding to memo. CCP: I'll talk to her later... CTS: So will I. CNN: see what's up when you do? CCP: Does any of you two know if anything happened? CNN: in the game? CCP: Maybe you should let me go first, Garrett. CTS: I don't know, I think she might be getting salty since we mentioned her again. CCP: What do you mean? CNN: either of you can talk to her. although i'm not sure she really enjoys talking to me. >_> CTS: I don't mean Meli, I mean "her". CNN: she always assumes i'm jesting at her and garry CCP: Why would she get salty? CNN: oh "her" CCP: Whatever that means. CTS: She doesn't exactly like I, which is what I will call plant friend. CTS: Not sharing her name. CNN: she doesn't want us to know her name? CCP: You will call her l? CCP: I have a problem with that. CTS: Yes. CTS: Okay, PR work for you? CTS: I'm not sharing her name. CCP: Yes, much better. CNN: can you call her something that isn't a pronoun CNN: yes PR works CTS: Okay, well, Meli doesn't exactly like PR. CNN: oh "l". no way, L is l CCP: Okay, so you are saying Meli does not like this person she doe not know. CTS: She knows her. CNN: because of a possible gary+PR romance CTS: Dude, no. CNN: anyway CNN: there was this thing, i think. CTS: Anyways, I don't know why, but I think it has to do with the thing Meli did a few years ago. CNN: they didn't tell me much CTS: The whole confession thing. CNN: yeah CNN: she convinced meli to do that didn't she? CTS: I think. CNN: and now you two are suddenly best friends after you rejected meli. CNN: it's not hard to figure out why she's upset CTS: ... CNN: think about it dude CNN: what do you think, L? CCP: I am not getting into this. CNN: sigh, CCP: But I am talking to Meli. CNN: oh, what's wrong? CCP: You wait until I give you the go, Garrett. CCP: Well, she is clearly not feeling her best. CCP: She barely spoke through this whole thing! CTS: Maybe something's wrong. CNN: well i would imagine SOMETHING is wrong CCP: Well, clearly something IS wrong. CCP: So I am talking to her about it. CTS: Alright, good luck with that. CNN: that was that human thing we have called "sarcasm" CTS: Yes, I know. CNN: sometimes we like to be obviously insincere, as a sort of joke CNN: i know you know, garry CNN: that was also the human "sarcasm" CTS: You're teasing me because of PR, aren't you, CTS: *. CNN: what? no? CNN: should i? CTS: No. CTS: Don't. CNN: okay, then i won't CCP: Drop it, Ezra. CCP: Gosh, you people would be at each other's throat without me here. CNN: probably CCP: What is going on, why are you all so quick to fight these days? CCP: Is it puberty? Are you getting stupider? CNN: tension. people don't enjoy dealing with their emotional bullshit. CNN: for obvious reasons CTS: ... CNN: excuse me, stupider? CCP: Okay, now. That is not fair. CCP: Emotions are not bullshit. CNN: you mean more stupid. and yes, we probably are. CNN: you know what i mean. their emotional PROBLEMS CCP: Are you saying you do not have any? CCP: Or am I just reading too much into it? CNN: any emotions? of course i do CCP: No, I mean emotional problems. CNN: no, of course not. everyone does. but I have a lot of time to myself to think about them CNN: and i don't care. getting sad over some stupid whatever isn't worth getting sad over CCP: Well, if anything comes up, I would like it if you guys would talk to me about it. CCP: I like it when my friends are healthy, and that includes your emotions. CTS: I'll keep that in mind. CNN: yeah, will do CCP: Good. CTS: I'm going to go. CTS ceased responding to memo. CCP: Now, I think this conversation would be pretty awkward to continue after that, so... CNN: so did you find out what's up? CCP: Yeah. CCP: You mean with Meli? CNN: yes CCP: I'll wait till tomorrow before talking to her. CCP: I do not want her to be grumpy from lack of sleep. CNN: oh okay CNN: true CCP: If you have anything to talk about, my door is open. CCP: Bye bye.
