Start of #ominous-horizons buffer: Fri Mar 19 19:47:47 2004* Now talking in #ominous-horizons
<TiJiL> Hehe.  Accidentally closed it.
<lsfreak> why did you leave tijil?
<lsfreak> oh
<Bhav_88> Kelly up and left the computer
<TiJiL> I mistook it for the Warcraft 3 Previewer window
<lsfreak> hehe
<lsfreak> i apoligize in advance if I suddenly leave...
<lsfreak> if htat happens I should be back on in a few minutes
<Bhav_88> Ok, we just need to wait for the others now, right?
<lsfreak> who else is coming?
<TiJiL> Khadhar is, in theory, going to join us.
<lsfreak> anyone else?
<TiJiL> No one else RSVP'd, anyway.
<lsfreak> okay
<TiJiL> Looks like this will be a rather limited meeting.  Not a big surprise, considering that we have a rather limited team at the moment.
<lsfreak> so do you have a list of things you'd like to talk about, or just whatever comes up?
<Bhav_88> We have a few things to discuss
<lsfreak> k
<Bhav_88> Carnal Wanderer, for instance, needs to be nailed out.
<TiJiL> I think another would be a website
<TiJiL> And the use of Qiviar
<lsfreak> Qiviar?
<Bhav_88> I will make him a charge ability, at least, though it will probably just remove his collision while allowing him to barrel through 
  enemies.
<Bhav_88> Qiviar is one of the few words in the english language that has a Q but not a U.
<Bhav_88> It is the fur of a musk ox.
<TiJiL> BRB
<lsfreak> oh, okay
<Bhav_88> We want it to be a tauren upgrade
<lsfreak> okay
<lsfreak> like, one of the jerkin upgrades or something else?
<Bhav_88> I like those Q-no-U upgrades
<lsfreak> haha
<Bhav_88> Nah, seems TiJiL wants it to be something special.
<lsfreak> okay
<lsfreak> what do we currently have for spells for the wanderer?
<Bhav_88> It could be a passive ability for all tauren spellcasters that takes 5-10% of all damage done to them and restores their mana
<Bhav_88> Charge and mount tallstrider, is all I know of.
<lsfreak> alrighty
<Bhav_88> Probably some sort of true sight, as well.
<Bhav_88> Keen sense, or something
<TiJiL> Back
<lsfreak> what about earthen whisperer? can we include that?
<TiJiL> Yes, let us speak of that.  Tell me again, Bhav, why it cannot be done?
<Bhav_88> The listening?
<lsfreak> yes
<Bhav_88> It cannot be done because it would require a variable.
<Bhav_88> And, since it isn't a hero, I can't give it a variable
<TiJiL> Darn.
<Bhav_88> I can do triggers to make heroes variables, since there can be only one
<Bhav_88> I require it for several of our spells, really
<lsfreak> ...that sucks
<Bhav_88> Ancestral Fury pops into my mind...
<Bhav_88> It could just be a listening thing that greatly increases his sight range, lets him detect invisible units, and possibly ping the map 
  when units come near.
<lsfreak> what if we use it as a hero spell for another race, or a neutral hero?
<TiJiL> It couldn't, though, produce a little spell effect when a unit is ordered into his region of hearing?
<Bhav_88> Not when the unit is ordered there
<Bhav_88> Only if a unit actually comes in range
<TiJiL> Damn.
<Bhav_88> The order would require the variable, to refer to ' in range of CarnalWanderer(1)', or something
<TiJiL> Can't you use arrays to do the variable?
<lsfreak> okay, what about other spells? i like the sounds of raptor scout
<Bhav_88> I can use arrays to do the variable for heroes
<Bhav_88> But I still need to refer to a specific one.
<TiJiL> Like have, when a Carnal Wanderer is created, it assigned the variable CarnalWanderer(#)
<TiJiL> Where the # is filled in by a different trigger that simply adds one every time a Wanderer is created?
<Bhav_88> I might could use the custom value for that, but I'd prefer not to use that up, as that's a last-ditch, high powered spell effect that 
  can only be used on one spell in the entire mod.
<lsfreak> *hums to self and tries to figure out what the hell Bhav and TiJiL are saying*
<Bhav_88> I could do that, but I would need to check every single possible (#) every time an order was given... can you say "LAG"?
<TiJiL> Hmm...
<lsfreak> brb
<TiJiL> I think you ought to try it out and see.  That does sound laggy, but I'd like to see it done if at all possible.
<Bhav_88> The issue lies also within the sheer volume of triggers
<TiJiL> How so?
<Bhav_88> I would need to make probably 60-70 statements, for possible numbers of wanderers, for each player.
<lsfreak> im back
<TiJiL> Hmm...
<lsfreak> here's an idea: ask Darky27
<Bhav_88> Then I'd need 12 for figuring out which player the unit belongs to, 12 to add to each trigger, and then there's the whole possible 
  error...
<TiJiL> Well...  Keep your eyes out for a solution.
<lsfreak> yea... i'd really like to see that spell used
<TiJiL> You certainly shouldn't do that many triggers.
<Bhav_88> That's a dumb idea. If we ask anyone, I'll ask a JASS artist.
<TiJiL> Darky27 is an butt-kicking JASS artist.
<lsfreak> that's what Darky27 is, isn't he?
<Bhav_88> Oh? Didn't know that.
<Bhav_88> Thought he was the trigger guru.
<TiJiL> ROTD guy
<TiJiL> He's probably that too.
<lsfreak> yea, he's both
<TiJiL> Ok, well...
<Bhav_88> JASS is the only thing people have above me at the moment, except for perhaps greater understanding of certain math functions.
<Bhav_88> ...But I'm too lazy to learn JASS.
<TiJiL> Moving on.  Earth Whispers is postponed until a possible different solution emerges, if at all.
<lsfreak> okay
<Bhav_88> Ok then.
<lsfreak> other wanderer spells?
<TiJiL> Obviously mount Tallstrider is one of those abilities.
<TiJiL> I think he needs 2-3
<lsfreak> i say again: i like raptor scout
<Bhav_88> Raptor scout would be neat... passive, like general's drones?
<TiJiL> I think it would be funny to make that work with cattle egrets and oxpeckers
<TiJiL> Yes
<lsfreak> hehehe
<TiJiL> Would be humorous, methinks, to have the Wanderer have several avian friends
<lsfreak> yes
<lsfreak> it would
<TiJiL> Hehe...  What about making him have a carrier like ability?
<Bhav_88> That would be pretty easy to make functional, but if he got loaded into a transport or something, I'd be at a loss.
<TiJiL> Hee...
<Bhav_88> Like locust swarm with no damage return threshhold?
<TiJiL> Yeah, something like that.
<Bhav_88> Of course, we could just say the wanderer is half feral and refuses to enter transports.
<lsfreak> maybe that could be one of our secret things: a wanderer (or something) that has oxpecker & cattle egret spells :P
<TiJiL> Why can't you just destroy the unit when he enters one and remake it when he emerges?
<Bhav_88> I think the battlechief still needs an oxpecker on his shoulder.
<TiJiL> Is there no function for entering/leaving transports?
<Bhav_88> Once again, that would need the custom value to see if he has one.
<lsfreak> ^^that'd be great^^
<Bhav_88> Hmm...
<Bhav_88> Perhaps there is.
<TiJiL> You could just assume he does have one, make him come with one.
<Bhav_88> If we do that, I can make it work.
<Bhav_88> I thought he'd have to buy it seperately.
<TiJiL> Could he have several?
<TiJiL> Or, possibly, could it be an autocast summonable ability?
<Bhav_88> That screws over the transport thing again, but he could, yeah.
<lsfreak> so the raptor scout would be a locust/interceptor-like unit, that wanders around the wanderer and attacks enemies?
<Bhav_88> Not really (efficiently) an autocast summon. Could be done, but it would use a lot more resources than worth it.
<TiJiL> Could he have an autocast ability that releases his bird minions to heal nearby allies and damage nearby enemies?
<TiJiL> What resources?
<Bhav_88> System resources
<TiJiL> How so?  A lag issue?
<Bhav_88> They'd damage enemies
<Bhav_88> Yeah
<Bhav_88> I see no real way (nor reason) to make them heal allies
<TiJiL> Because the birds that rest on cows relieve them of parasites is the reason
<TiJiL> How is it a lag issue?  Each wanderer releasing a unit every minute or so doesn't seem like a big load to me...
<lsfreak> what if the raptors themselves had an autocast healing or dispelling ability?
<TiJiL> BRB again
<lsfreak> k
<TiJiL> (Might take me several minutes to return, checking to see if pizza is done)
<TiJiL> (And if it is, eating it)
<lsfreak> hehehe k
<Bhav_88> The issue is determining if he needs to be casting the spell.
<lsfreak> my supper was a choco-chip-cookie-dough blizzard from Diary Queen and a Cadberry cream egg :P
<Bhav_88> I'd have to check every wanderer every few seconds.
<Bhav_88> *sniff*
<Bhav_88> I want a blizzard...
<Bhav_88> I should go to DQ and get one now that I can drive...
<lsfreak> it was good
<lsfreak> i can almost drive... can't quite get my license yet though
<lsfreak> hav eto wait *looks on calander* 7 days
<lsfreak> hey Bhav:
<lsfreak> oh, nevermind
<Bhav_88> Humph.
<lsfreak> sorry i didn't get the units done
<lsfreak> i thought i'd done everything, but I compltely forgot about what trains what, who builds what, that stuff
<Bhav_88> Yes, a major inconvenience...
<Bhav_88> Though fissure is quite good now.
<lsfreak> kewl
<Bhav_88> Quicksand is humorous, too.
<lsfreak> i'll ge tthe map back to you monday night
<lsfreak> if, that is, I get the map by Sunday night
<Bhav_88> You should get it by sunday
<lsfreak> k, that's good
<Bhav_88> TiJiL's dad is working on a function for enclose
<lsfreak> well, i guess i shouldnt' say you'll get it then... you should, but that depend on how much homework I have
<Bhav_88> I'll do volcano, as soon as TiJiL sends me the model.
<lsfreak> hmm, TiJiL's dad's working on the mod too? hehehe... kewl newts
<TiJiL> Back
* Retrieving #ominous-horizons modes...
<Bhav_88> He's just really good at math, and we're getting his aid on the function.
<lsfreak> that's good that we're getting help
<lsfreak> hmm... I wonder what happened to Khadhar...
<Bhav_88> He was eaten
<Bhav_88> I do not wish to work tonight!
<TiJiL> No work on OH?
<Bhav_88> I do not wish to... didn't say I wouldn't.
<TiJiL> Why...  Want to play THE NEW RACE MOD???
<lsfreak> hehei feel that way 
<lsfreak> all the time about almost everything
<TiJiL> *gasp!*
<Bhav_88> Absolutely not.
<TiJiL> Good, good.
<Bhav_88> I wish to play... Generals... or Diablo... or go to DQ and get a blizzard.
<TiJiL> BRB
<lsfreak> hehe... dq is good
<TiJiL> Back again!
<lsfreak> i want to play Halo, but my dad's playing right now >_<
<Bhav_88> People are posting to frickin' fast!
<TiJiL> Ok then...
<Bhav_88> too
<lsfreak> running back and forth between pizza and computer?
<TiJiL> We still haven't made much progress
<lsfreak> nope
<Bhav_88> We have about half the team.
<Bhav_88> And about 80% of the working team.
<TiJiL> True, true.  Would be nice to have Khadhar and Runemane here
<TiJiL> We have 60%, methinks
<TiJiL> So...  We have the charge ability and the tallstrider one.
<TiJiL> Do we need another?
<Bhav_88> I think he should have true sight, or a variant
<lsfreak> that sounds okay to me
<Bhav_88> God..
<lsfreak> it should be called something else me thinks
<Bhav_88> Frostigt is disgracing us now...
<TiJiL> With what now?
<Bhav_88> He has spelled our project name wrong in his signature.
<lsfreak> uh oh... *chekcs forums*\
<TiJiL> Yeah...
<TiJiL> BRB
<lsfreak> hehe I'll PM him >_>
<Bhav_88> I is hungry...
<TiJiL> Frickin' Doorbell
<Bhav_88> We don't have much food.
<Bhav_88> But I get pizza for lunch tomorrow!
<Bhav_88> DION'S PIZZA!
<lsfreak> good for you
<Bhav_88> Assuming DION is a person
<Bhav_88> Otherwise it's DIONS PIZZA!***
<TiJiL> Ok, so...  Ought we make the Wanderer an avian friend to follow him around, like a drone?
<TiJiL> And give it true sight?
<lsfreak> ls_freak is wondering how you say something like TiJiL and Bhav are
<Bhav_88> Sure, sure.
<TiJiL> Type /me and then the message
<TiJiL> Ok then.
<lsfreak> oh, okay
* lsfreak is happy know
<TiJiL> He has charge, mount tallstrider, and his avian buddy
<TiJiL> I shall make that model next.
<lsfreak> k
<TiJiL> (After I finish Enclose, Fissure, and the Fissure flame
<Bhav_88> The avian buddy is going to be a temporary thing, methinks
<TiJiL> )
<Bhav_88> If you lose it, you must buy another wanderer
<TiJiL> Ok then.
<lsfreak> lose it as in it's killed?
<Bhav_88> And if your wanderer dies, the bird is still there.
<TiJiL> Should it be like a hawk or like an egret/oxpecker?
<lsfreak> egret
<lsfreak> ^_^
<Bhav_88> Hawk, I say. Leave oxpecker for the chief.
<TiJiL> I think I like the idea of an egret or a hawk.  Oxpecker really should be for the chief, seeing as how the oxpecker and cape buffalo are 
  both African animals
<TiJiL> So...  Next order of business...
<lsfreak> alright, that works
<TiJiL> Freak, anything that we need to address that you know of?
<lsfreak> although actually cattle egrets originated in africa and migrated naturally to the americas :p
<Bhav_88> Difficulty with the bird will lie in making it follow the guy without being selectable (like dust devils), but become selectable if 
  the wanderer dies.
<lsfreak> wel, i was wondering about spells for the Roc and Stone Drake
<TiJiL> Can it attack?
<Bhav_88> Should it?
<Bhav_88> Doesn't matter to me, would work either way.
<TiJiL> Would be funny to have an attack egret...  Hee...
<Bhav_88> It'll just have an order to 'guard' the wanderer it is attached to.
<TiJiL> I say it should attack air, have true sight, and fly around in a nice broad area, increasing his vision, essentially
<lsfreak> that sounds good to me
<lsfreak> would there be any way to link the damag ethe bird does with a healing of the wanderer's health, or no?
<TiJiL> Would be funny to have an upgrade that replaces the egrets with uberegrets...  Hee...
<Bhav_88> That makes NO sense
<TiJiL> I'm with Bhav
<lsfreak> okay
<lsfreak> that's fine, jsut an idea
<TiJiL> Ok then.  Egret fine with everyone?
<Bhav_88> Ja, Ja
<TiJiL> Ok then.  Roc now.
<Bhav_88> Er giftet die pizza. Die shwester isst die pizza. Sie ist tote.
<TiJiL> Nice.
<lsfreak> waa...?
<TiJiL> (He poisoned the pizza.  The sister eats the pizza.  She is dead)
<lsfreak> oh okay
<Bhav_88> The Roc can have the ever-nice spell immunity...
<lsfreak> alrighty, to the roc
<lsfreak> yes, of course
<TiJiL> Caemera
<TiJiL> Early on into their quest to return their black dragon brothers to sanity, the Stone Drakes realised that without a potent spell to 
  remove the magics and drains their brothers would use upon them, they were quickly felled from the sky. Calling from powers deep in the earth 
  the Stone Drakes can now quite litrally rip the spells right off their enemies and allies, the force of the spell being dispelled damages 
  enemies equal to the amount of mana the spell cost, but heals allies.
<TiJiL> That's Pheonix's idea for its anti magic spell
<lsfreak> although i'm thinking it should have another, more unique form of immunity
<lsfreak> yes, he calle din caemera
<lsfreak> *called it
<TiJiL> My summary of it a few posts later:
<TiJiL> Roc: Support/Anti Caster air unit
<TiJiL> Reasonable damage versus air and ground units. Also has True Sight innately. One upgrade yields a magical resistance passive ability for 
  them, while another grants them an autocast dispelling spell that destroys a buff and, if the target is allied, heals it, whereas if it is an 
  enemy, it deals damage.
<lsfreak> that works
<Bhav_88> Perhaps it should have, rather than an active ability, a 'silence aura'.
<lsfreak> hmm... there's an idea
<lsfreak> what if it had both? would that make it too powerful?
<Bhav_88> The unique immunity: rather than be technically immune, it takes strength from spells, or reflects them at enemies.
<Bhav_88> Both would be useless.
<lsfreak> THAT sounds cool
<TiJiL> Also awesome
<Bhav_88> If nobody could cast spells, why would he need spell immunity?
<lsfreak> already-actuve spells
<lsfreak> and magic damage
<lsfreak> i din't know
<lsfreak> *don't
<Bhav_88> Hmm... perhaps.
<Bhav_88> Perhaps the aura of silence could work like immolation
<TiJiL> He should have the cool immunity, the damaging buff destroyer, and true sight?
<TiJiL> Aura of silence of cool, but cool immunity is cooler.
<TiJiL> (I think)
<Bhav_88> Ok.
<Bhav_88> Sure.
<Bhav_88> He ought to suck other than that, though
<TiJiL> Aura of Silence can go elsewhere, perhaps a creep or neutral hero or satyr hero
<TiJiL> I think he should be a reasonable anti air unit but be not durable and either very weak or completey unable to assault land units
<lsfreak> that was my thought
<Bhav_88> He should be useful for the anti magic, but not really for anything else. Tauren will (excuse the terminology) rape with their ground 
  force, so we ought to keep their air force from 'raping'.
<TiJiL> Perhaps, and I don't think it should be like a gargoyle.
<TiJiL> I think it should be like a DOTT in hawk form
<Bhav_88> Ahh...
<Bhav_88> So, a giant sparrow?
<TiJiL> (But not as cheap, obviously)
<TiJiL> I mean in anti air capability.  It will NOT look like a sparrow
<Bhav_88> Ah. Ok.
<lsfreak> hehe
<TiJiL> Ok then...  Name for the two spells?
<lsfreak> we're using the dispell/damage/heal spell, right?
<TiJiL> Diffuse Magic (for the immunity)
<Bhav_88> No no..
<Bhav_88> Something like...
<TiJiL> No?
<TiJiL> Oh, the name.
<Bhav_88> Prism Feathers.
<TiJiL> I thought you meant Freak's query
<lsfreak> hmm... prism feathers sounds good
<TiJiL> Cool idea.  When that's researched its wings should release a cool bluish glow
<Bhav_88> Yeah.
<lsfreak> sounds good :D
<TiJiL> And the dispel/damage/heal thing?
<TiJiL> (Bhav is good at names, Freak, in case you hadn't noticed)
<lsfreak> well, pheonix called in caemera
<lsfreak> yes, i oticed
<lsfreak> *noticed
<TiJiL> Caemera?  I wonder what that means...
<lsfreak> at times I'm really good with names, other times the names I come up with just plain suck
<Bhav_88> What's he going to do to dispel them?
<lsfreak> i have no idea what it mean
<Bhav_88> Screech at them?
<TiJiL> Perhaps.
<lsfreak> hmm... violently remove the magic through other magic?
<TiJiL> Or perhaps he could flap his wings and have some cool spell effect
<lsfreak> oh, nm
<Bhav_88> Terror Call, perhaps...
<Bhav_88> Or Shattering Voice
<lsfreak> shattering voice sounds good
<Bhav_88> The ever-boring Spellbane
<lsfreak> o
<lsfreak> *
<lsfreak> god< what"s wrong with this stupid keyboard?
<TiJiL> Shattering Voice is cool, methinks.
<Bhav_88> Ok.
<lsfreak> what i meant to say: no to spellbane
<Bhav_88> Spell animation can be really cool
<Bhav_88> All sorts of bluish green stuff can burst out of his mouth
<TiJiL> Oh aye, Roc shall be a cool model.
<lsfreak> what shall the roc look like?
<Bhav_88> A large sparrow!
<TiJiL> A big eagle, methinks
<lsfreak> hehe
<TiJiL> Ok then.  Stone Drake:
<lsfreak> okay, a big eagle is a bit mroe what i had in mind
<TiJiL> My summary of it back in late January:
<TiJiL> Stone Drake: Heavy Assault air unit
<TiJiL> Reasonable damage versus air and the ability to land, giving it high damage versus ground. While in flight, anti-ground damage is 
  reasonable. Heavily armored and swift, the stone drake nonetheless cannot withstand great punishment. The Terror on Wings upgrade increases 
  the speed and attack speed of the Drake while airborn. Another upgrade allows them to do some other nifty assault function, perhaps increases 
  their armor or grants them the ability to do some roar or burst of their breath weapon. Don't know about this last one, but they need a 
  replacement for Geodermic Shell.
<lsfreak> or grants them...?? is tha tup to us to decide?
<TiJiL> Is the ability to land a good idea?
<Bhav_88> Light/Loft= Obviously, lights, and lofts.
<Bhav_88> I think if he can land, he cannot attack ground otherwise.
<TiJiL> That works.  Probably a good idea anyway.
<lsfreak> sounds good
<lsfreak> when on the ground, should he do very large amounts of damage?  and should he be able to move or not?
<TiJiL> Possibility that may make him cooler:
<Bhav_88> He'll do little damage at a really quick rate, so it's like a stream.
<lsfreak> okay
<TiJiL> (But would probably be really hard to trigger)
<lsfreak> yes...?
<Bhav_88> Oh joy.
<TiJiL> Never mind.
<TiJiL> So...  Light/Loft and something else...
<lsfreak> just wondering, is there any way to save conversations from here?  my comp won't let me CnP :(
<TiJiL> Yeah, I can do it.
<Bhav_88> Gonna post it on the IRC thread?
<TiJiL> Yeah, why not?
<Bhav_88> Ok. Let's finish up the drake, then.
<lsfreak> okay, that works
<TiJiL> Possibility:
<TiJiL> Instead of having a breath weapon all of the time while on the ground, perhaps he could normally attack with teeth and claws, and have 
  an ability which lets him unleash a mighty stream of fire in a cone in front of him?
<Bhav_88> Hmm... let me see...
<TiJiL> So a channeling ability in which he burns the land in front of him.
<Bhav_88> Yeah, that'd work.
<Bhav_88> While he's channeling, make another unit in front of him that repeatedly attacks the ground in front of him really fast. 
<Bhav_88> This unit is invisible.
<Bhav_88> Massive AOE, of course.
<lsfreak> that sounds good
<TiJiL> Ok.  And ground burning?
<Bhav_88> Just use a modification of the burning oil.
<TiJiL> And then, to throw it all together, some spell effects!
<TiJiL> Boo yeah!
<Bhav_88> The spell effects will have to be him breathing the fire, of course.
<TiJiL> Oh aye.  I can think of 2-3 effects that will be needed to make it look good.
<Bhav_88> There'll have to be enough stuff to disguise the fact that the fire isn't actually coming from him
<lsfreak> when you make the invisible unit, is there a way to make it not count towards anbody's unit score?
<TiJiL> Required:  A splashy, conical flame projectile for the invisible unit and a stream of fire coming from the dragon model's mouth that's 
  actually part of his model
<TiJiL> Optional:  An effect to put around the invisible unit to further mask the fact that the flame isn't coming from the dragon.
<lsfreak> brb
<Bhav_88> This will actually work, because I can give the invisible unit a timed life.
<Bhav_88> The drake will need to have some sort of spell immunity while doing this, at least.
<TiJiL> Cool.  Sounds like a neat spell too.
<Bhav_88> Or it could just look really weird if he's stunned.
<TiJiL> Lunaria Witherwind rushed through the forest of Ashenvale.  The light streaming from the canopy of trees dappled her purple skin, but it 
  would do little to mask her from creatures that could feel her very body heat...
<Bhav_88> ?
<TiJiL> She rushed on, exerting herself to the limit, knowing that any minute she may meet her doom.
<TiJiL> A cry erupts from above the trees, tearing from the throat of a winged reptile...
<TiJiL> It was shortly answered by others.  In mere seconds a chorus of throaty bellows reverberated across the terrain...
<TiJiL> Before Lunaria could quicken her pace an enormous weight crashed through the trees.  With a heavy thud, an enormous black creature 
  alighted before her eyes...
<Bhav_88> I could give him a -5 to armor while he's actively casting the Gutteral Belch spell, to show his vulnerability.
<TiJiL> Its skin was black and glistening, like obsidian.  It turned its beady eyes towards her and emitted another powerfully loud screech...
<TiJiL> She drew her bow in an instant and shot an arrow into the creature's forehead.  The arrow hit home and the creature recoiled in pain...
<lsfreak> no offense, but "powerfully loud screech" doesn't seem menacing enough
<TiJiL> (That could work.)
<Bhav_88> Did the creature... eat her?
<Bhav_88> Or vaporize her?
<TiJiL> Not yet...
<TiJiL> Neither...  yet...
<TiJiL> Before Lunaria could attack again other drakes dropped from the skies, crushing the beautiful forests around her.  She could hear their 
  weight shift as they pushed aside trees to reach her.
<TiJiL> She had to run.  This was her last chance.  Lunaria threw her bow down, bolting through the one section of foliage she hadn't seen a 
  dragon land in...
<lsfreak> *mmm, smores* said the drakes
<TiJiL> She turned to view the creature she had attacked.  It had turned towards her and had begun to rumble, emitting a bubbling sound as its 
  sulfurous gut prepared to unleash a blast of natural napalm.
<TiJiL> As if by an unseen signal, the forest burst into flame.  Sheets of fire enveloped Lunaria, coming from dragons she didn't even know were 
  there.
<lsfreak> hehe... sounds like grant's description of raptors from jurassic park
<TiJiL> The drakes kept their stream of fire up for many minutes after the last remains of Lunaria had been burnt into ashes
<TiJiL> With that, they each took off, one by one, heading back to the mountains looming ominously on the horizon...
<TiJiL> THE END
<lsfreak> kewl newts
<Bhav_88> Heh heh heh...
<TiJiL> (Notice the use of ominous and horizon)
<lsfreak> nice touch :p
<Bhav_88> Yes, I noticed that.
<TiJiL> Ok, that was lovely.
<TiJiL> So, Freak's issues are taken care of for the time being.  
<TiJiL> Anything else from you, Bhav?
<Bhav_88> Probably, but I won't think of it now, when we need it.
<TiJiL> Ok then.  My turn, then.
<TiJiL> I wish to bring up the topic of the website.
<lsfreak> k
<TiJiL> How big of a priority is this?
<Bhav_88> Not very big right now.
<Bhav_88> Will be later.
<lsfreak> it would definitely be nice to have, but it's not a huge priority
<Bhav_88> But we don't even have a server.
<TiJiL> We have one promised to us, in theory.
<TiJiL> Perhaps I should PM Electromancer again, just to remind him that we still exist.
<Bhav_88> Heh.
<lsfreak> hehehe, that would be nice
<TiJiL> I'll do so, then.
<TiJiL> So, agreed not a very high priority?
<TiJiL> I think within a couple weeks we should get something simple up.
<Bhav_88> His response;  TIJIL! THIS IS THE LAST STRAW! I'M SICK OF TAKING YOUR CRAP! OMINOUS HORIZONS IS HEREBY CANCELLED!
<TiJiL> Our forum has become cluttered with crap.
<TiJiL> Hee...
<Bhav_88> Not a huge priority, but we ought to put something up.
<TiJiL> Would be nice to have an organized site for people to view unit descriptions, tech trees, and a gallery without reading through the 
  arguments, tangents, and imbecils
<lsfreak> nope, but it would be nice to put something up jsut to increase our audience and as refense for ourselves (will spells, abillities, 
  upgrades, ect.)
<Bhav_88> Perhaps, TiJiL, we can purchase that $20 a year server, and share our twassecc site and ominous horizons.
<TiJiL> Aye, I'd be willing to do that, of course.
<TiJiL> I'd prefer the free one, though, so let's talk to Electro first.
<Bhav_88> Ok.
<Bhav_88> If he's taking too long, we'll get a better server of our own.
<lsfreak> sounds good
<TiJiL> Ok then.
<Bhav_88> Perhaps, also, sharing with the twasseccs could recruit some more RPG members.
<TiJiL> Let's see...  Anyone got anything else?
<TiJiL> Yes, that would be nice.
<lsfreak> who would set up the site?  one of you, or someone else?
<TiJiL> Not me.  I'm the fricking modeler.  I have enough work.
<Bhav_88> TiJiL would buy it, for he knows where it is.
<Bhav_88> We have people who know websites, though
<Bhav_88> David comes to mind.
<lsfreak> k
<TiJiL> In theory.  He'd probably help us out.
<Bhav_88> (Obviously, I'd split the cost; TiJiL'd just be the official 'biller')
<lsfreak> I'd be willing to add the unit descriptioins to the site, as long as I had access and could figure out where stuff goes
<TiJiL> Hopefully Ninja House isn't abandoning us.
<Bhav_88> Nah. No offense, freak, but you can't spell correctly on a regular basis.
<lsfreak> that's just cuz i type really fast, and generally I don't care about spelling
<lsfreak> if i need to i can check the spelling both myself and send it through a spell checker
<Bhav_88> It isn't helping your case to say 'cuz' and 'i' (not capitalized) while arguing that you can do it well.
<TiJiL> Ok then...  Doesn't seem anyone has anything else to bring up.
<lsfreak> Fine then, I won't do anything.
<lsfreak> Nope, I don't.
<TiJiL> Call the meeting to a close or find something else to speak of?
<TiJiL> Ok, here's another one.  Should we hold another meeting of this variety on Sunday?  Or perhaps we could make it a weekly thing?
<lsfreak> I'd be willing to make it a weekly thing.
<TiJiL> And another:  The audio meething this week:
<TiJiL> ?
<Bhav_88> Ahh, that may be a problem, and may not.
<TiJiL> meeting, rather
<lsfreak> I'm not sure if I'll be able to help out.
<Bhav_88> Tomorrow, Timothy is coming over to my house
<Bhav_88> So I expect we'll be exhausting my 'computer time' during the day.
<TiJiL> Ahh...
<Bhav_88> It may be possible to hoodwink my parents, though.
<TiJiL> That's ok.  I've lost most of my enthusiasm for those movies.
<Bhav_88> And, Tim may wish to participate.
<TiJiL> We're out of hilarity, it seems.
<TiJiL> Though there was some good humor in the third one, I admit.
<TiJiL> "Oh Crap..."  WHAM WHAM!  STATIC!  
<Bhav_88> Oh, we certainly aren't out of hilarity.  We just need to avoid sticking too rigidly to the OH topic.
<lsfreak> Yes, if we do that we'll just bore people.  Like I'm good at doing.
<TiJiL> Ok.  I'm almost out of hilarity.
<TiJiL> Perhaps you still have some, but I'm at a loss.
<TiJiL> (For this topic)
<TiJiL> Gollum's voice is funny, but only for so long.
<Bhav_88> Ok... I'll save this meeting, and post it when the server comes back up.
<lsfreak> I've got friends who can turn the most serious topics into humor, and if I get them to come over to my hosue and help out that 
  would/should make the meeting more funny.
<TiJiL> Especially considering that I'm not Andy Serkis.
<lsfreak> Oh hey, something else I was going to bring up:
<Bhav_88> Hmm. Can't do it.
<TiJiL> Good, good.  Need new topics
<Bhav_88> Won't let me copy and paste out of the window.
<lsfreak> spells for the Onyx Templar.
<TiJiL> Or I could stop procrastinating and finish Enclose, at least, tonight.
<lsfreak> Do you two have any in mind?
<Bhav_88> Uh... yeah...
* Retrieving #ominous-horizons modes...
<Bhav_88> Heat of the Core, or some other name for that
<lsfreak> Yes, that's the one I knew about for sure
<Bhav_88> Did he have rectify?
<Bhav_88> Or was that the soul messenger?
<TiJiL> You can copy out of it.  I know it's weird, but you can.
<TiJiL> No, that's Soul Messenger
<lsfreak> Nope, that's the soul messanger
<Bhav_88> How?
<TiJiL> We never resolved fully what we wanted for Onyx
<TiJiL> I can't remember.  I did it accidentally last time I did it.
<Bhav_88> I can't seem to select it all, unfortunately.
<Bhav_88> I can get one page.
<lsfreak> Niether can I.
<lsfreak> I can get one word.
<TiJiL> I am researching how to just save it as a file
<Bhav_88> I am... about to leave in boredom, and play computer games, putting off my responsibility to OH!
<TiJiL> Saved it
<TiJiL> Don't do that!
<TiJiL> You can leave out of boredom but you must not put off responsibility to OH!
<TiJiL> Don't make me lose interest again!
<Bhav_88> I... can't... help... it...
<TiJiL> It must keep moving!  We must make tangible progress!
<Bhav_88> I must... play!
<Bhav_88> AHRHRHRHRHRHRHRH!
<TiJiL> No!
<TiJiL> Think of it this way:  If we work hard, you can play an alpha test tauren map within a few days!
<lsfreak> I am about to do the same.  Except I'll also go get a bag of sour cream & onion Lays.
<TiJiL> Get those spells done!
<Bhav_88> I WANT LAYS!
<Bhav_88> AND A BLIZZARD!
<lsfreak> Alrigt, so is this meeting adjourned?
* Bhav_88 bangs gavel
<Bhav_88> Adjourned!
