15:20.34morgoth1145.here
15:20.35morgothBotPyWelcome back, morgoth1145.
15:20.52morgoth1145SignpostMarv: Is there any chance that you'd be able to finish uploading SCC images?
15:21.11SignpostMarvSCC?
15:24.53morgoth1145They're an image set on the wiki that never was fully uploaded
15:25.05morgoth1145no idea what SCC stands for
15:25.29morgoth1145but it was the ability images, such as SCCBite5
15:27.12SignpostMarvI don't believe I have them on my HD, and I uninstalled Spore a couple weeks ago :P
15:30.01SignpostMarvneeded to make space to defrag
15:34.46morgoth1145oh
15:36.05morgoth1145Well, if you see Mason, would you mind bugging him to finish uploading them?
15:36.09morgoth1145he started it
15:40.37SignpostMarvtalk page thing ?
15:40.56morgoth1145right...he has a talk page...
15:40.59morgoth1145*idiot*
15:45.16SignpostMarvpasses morgoth some coffee
15:47.46morgoth1145I hate coffee
15:48.08SignpostMarvpasses morgoth some mountain due
15:48.10SignpostMarvdew*
15:48.28morgoth1145I hate carbonated crap
15:48.52SignpostMarvpasses morgoth some of whatever he needs to get his brain into gear
15:49.09morgoth1145don't actually need anything, I'm just distracted
15:49.25SignpostMarvoh ?
15:50.29morgoth1145FlyFF
15:50.33SignpostMarvheh
15:50.37SignpostMarvhaven't played that in a while
15:50.53morgoth1145Free Realms reminded me of it
15:51.02morgoth1145which server?  (And I hadn't played in at least 1.5 years)
15:51.21SignpostMarvno idea.
15:51.27morgoth1145(also didn't get very far the first time.  Only level 23?)
15:51.32morgoth1145now I'm level 49
15:51.46SignpostMarvis currently hacking Infiniminer
15:52.12morgoth1145not heard of that
15:52.24SignpostMarvhttp://www.zachtronicsindustries.com/pivot/entry.php?id=82
15:54.31SignpostMarvits open source :)
15:57.15morgoth1145nice
15:57.36morgoth1145looking at an experience table for FlyFF, looks like I've gotten 100 times the experience I got last time
15:57.52morgoth1145granted, it's only 10 times more work, likely
15:57.55morgoth1145but anyway
15:58.56morgoth1145that looks rather...blocky...is it any good?
15:59.08SignpostMarvyup
15:59.33morgoth1145how?
16:00.55SignpostMarvdon't judge a book by its cover
16:01.26morgoth1145eh, you could explain it
16:01.41morgoth1145(that was the intention)
16:01.55SignpostMarveh, you could play it and avoid any crappy explanations
16:01.57SignpostMarv:P
16:02.15SignpostMarvwell the basic gameplay premise is to go mine for stuff then bring it to the surface
16:02.24SignpostMarvyou can mine ore, gold & diamonds
16:02.48SignpostMarvgold & diamonds need to be brought to the surface to cash them in
16:02.58morgoth1145I could go play it, but I'm busy playing FlyFF
16:03.14SignpostMarveach class can only carry so much ore
16:03.15SignpostMarvbrb
16:03.38morgoth1145so it's an mmo, but you mine instead of fight monsters?
16:03.54SignpostMarvnot exactly an mmo
16:04.03SignpostMarvmore just a mo
16:04.11morgoth1145morpg?
16:04.24morgoth1145oo, more pg
16:04.25morgoth1145ducks
16:04.26SignpostMarvexplains moar
16:05.00SignpostMarvstuff can be built anywhere in the map, except in empty space (needs to be built against another block) or on lava
16:05.16SignpostMarvvarious block types cost different ammounts of ore to build
16:05.35SignpostMarvengineers can build all block types (except for solid blocks of the opposing team's color)
16:05.47SignpostMarvsappers can build TNT
16:06.22SignpostMarveverything except banks, gold, diamond and metal can be blown up
16:06.44SignpostMarvprospectors have a radar which can find gold & diamonds
16:06.58SignpostMarvso one strategy would be to send a prospector to find the start of a gold vein,
16:07.00SignpostMarvplant a beacon
16:07.12SignpostMarvhead to the surface, switch to a sapper,
16:07.17morgoth1145so there's also a slight rts element?
16:07.25SignpostMarvthen go plant some TNT around the start of the gold vein
16:07.27SignpostMarvthen,
16:07.32morgoth1145(with the teams)
16:07.40SignpostMarvonce the vein is revealed, switch to a miner
16:07.48SignpostMarvsince miners can carry more gold/diamonds than anyone
16:08.11SignpostMarvPVP strategies include:
16:08.43SignpostMarv* blowing up walkways/bridges that the opposing team uses to access an area
16:08.58SignpostMarv* flooding tunnels & shafts with lava
16:09.17SignpostMarv* blowing up the opposing team directly
16:09.24SignpostMarvthe latter two are generally seen as griefing
16:09.44SignpostMarvp.s.
16:09.48SignpostMarv#infiniminer
16:09.49SignpostMarv:-P
16:10.39morgoth1145so light on the rts elements
16:11.04morgoth1145('cause the latter two seem much more effective from an rts standpoint.)
16:11.08morgoth1145I might look into it
16:11.13morgoth1145if so, which team are you on?
16:14.20morgoth1145*poke*
16:15.53SignpostMarvwell when I join a server, I join whichever team has the fewest players
16:15.56SignpostMarvbut I tend to favor blue
16:16.02SignpostMarvyou can run your own server btw
16:16.31morgoth1145okay, which server do you tend to frequent...
16:17.13SignpostMarvwhichever ones aren't flagged for sandbox mode
16:17.41SignpostMarv^sandbox mode = doesn't cost anything to build, server doesn't auto-reset when a pre-determined amount of ore has been won
16:17.43morgoth1145you don't have set patterns, do you?
16:17.46SignpostMarvnope
16:18.15SignpostMarvthere's no account creation process,
16:18.25SignpostMarvso you can just jump in and drop out of games at random
16:19.39morgoth1145ah
16:20.04morgoth1145ooc, when you did FlyFF, what class did you go for?
16:20.24SignpostMarvi forgets. remind me what they are ?
16:20.53morgoth1145start as vagrant, first jobs are assist, mage, merc, and acrobat
16:21.32morgoth1145second level jobs are billposter and ringmaster for assist, elementor and psykeeper for mage, blade and knight for merc, and jester or ranger for acro
16:21.38SignpostMarvmerc & acrobat
16:21.45SignpostMarvnever got to 2nd level job
16:22.32morgoth1145yeah, I'm working on that one
16:22.42morgoth1145my first one ever was merc, but this time around I'm going assist
16:22.45morgoth1145with an acro alt
16:23.49morgoth1145surprisingly they don't delete characters
16:24.23morgoth1145I went to a different server, thinking that I'd have to start over again no matter.  Then one day I decided to check other servers, and happened upon my old characters
