Timesync putting your wake-quest-sleep cycles at odds with being on the livebox? Personal matters or things in your head you'd like to express-n-go? Off-topic thread here, for discussions which don't wish to take place in their own threads or a box. Or are way too long for the box, like shitposting entire novels. Also if you don't notice the existence of the box scroll down and notice it, and remember to check back often since it doesn't notify you about that.
I mean, just chat. We all need someplace to talk and sometimes the IRC is empty.

Well, I guess this is as good a place as any to drop a "hello, nice to meet you all"? It doesn't feel like it deserves its own thread. I caught the tail end of the old forum, but it dissolved into bizarre time shenanigans before I had a chance to post at all, so I'm glad a new one was instated so quickly.
And, um, if I may ask--horrorTerror, are you really an Other?

More seriously, yes. I'm a glubbing eldritch abomination. With tentacles. I'm gonna speak in Verdana for this sentence because it is the typeface of the Alliance of DEATH and he's a cool guy so I'm like surewhynot.
Also, hi. Yes, if the large amount of references to tentacles, Ringtime, *office work*, having to use Star Control II Orz bestfits, and repeatedly offering 'oh yeah hi we're here gib soul to be best puppet' didn't tip you off, we're here. Yep. *squid noises*. Seriously if I was to give you much more confirmation of my existence I'd probably have to get you to send me session coordinates, send a servitor over there, flop on the border, schlep through a bottle of delicious ichor or just wait until during a Derse eclipse or some other point there the aura can reach you and just corrupt you with that, have you falcon scriptbreak an exception into the law, and then we can duct-tape information into your soul personally. Or just stop at the flop at the border part and you go like 'hi' and my puppetbody's like 'lolhai yes glub'.
However you guys are so fun to watch I'm holding back on the corruption for the sake of doing that cool tea party thing that big goddess said was really fun at some point or other and also because when you make frogs n go we get to study them up close and personal.

Wow, um. I think my current coplayers would get mad if I were to try to take you up on the offer, but, uh... maybe some other time? I haven't actually seen a case of corruption in person yet, and I'm kind of curious about what it's like... And curious about the Others in general, too (I was a Lovecraft fan, back on my original world).
So, how does it work for an Other to post on a forum like this? What do you mean by "puppetbody" and "cool tea party thing"? Are players really interesting enough that you not only want to watch, but offer free help like your guides? Um, sorry if the number of questions seems rude.

gonna have to agree with soothSlayer here, no offense to our friendly cosmic-neighborhood horrorterror, but he seems to be the exception, not the rule. curiosity about the Others is probably going to bite you in the ass if you're not careful. And I saw you mentioned you were interested in lovecraftian literature, for the love of god don't prototype anything with it (you probably knew that but I couldn't help myself, I'm kind of a worrier)

Hey, becoming a Seer of Law made me, like, the definition of careful! I'm not stupid, I know the Others are dangerous. But just because something is dangerous doesn't mean it can't be helpful or that it shouldn't be studied. Besides, if horrorTerror is the exception to Others being dangerous, isn't it even more worthwhile to interact with him?

sorry, sorry, like I said I'm a worrier. just felt like the extra warning couldn't hurt.
yeah, I guess I didn't think of the Others that way. really I have zero interactions with the Others except for HT, and I don't like things that I don't know about. I can see how you would be curious. i'm not familiar with Law, but we have a Seer of Mind that sounds like it could be similar? except he was kind of off before coming into the game. heavy drug user, mostly.
anyways, i just treat non-mortal omni-whatever extradimensional creatures with a large does of suspicion. no offense again, HT, you seem like an alright... being.

I'm too lazy to actually deal in souls. That aside yeah that attitude gets people dead or gone festering grimdark lol. I'm very close to the nicest end but really you guys are all blue and orange morality to me.
I use a bubble to anchor as a viable timeline for linearization purposes and some equips off a Speaker whose failsafe messed up and killed him, but hey other than that being on the furniture lists of the circles managing this stuff physically for the most part is a thing so I am cleared to do what player end resources can do.
Because using big giant squid bodies is rather an issue when trying to be innocent looking and most of the time when sessionraiding uninvited I use playeroid-shaped servitors if just grabbing some ring candy Speaker is not an option due to demand. It's easier with *colorwork* to pass off 'em as uncorrupted trolls but if I don't need to be not obviously implements of squid powers humans are slightly simpler.
Sessions without ok small-lattice anti-Others barriers (yay for gamebreaking with smaller bodies) or those for who a Speaker has already *weakened* those or *broken* them entirely I can send small puppety things like those in and mess around, usually just on Derse 'cause I know the general layout from telescope stalking. No eorries about me sneaking in your room and eating your face off at night yet, the anti-horrorterror script is a hard-to-ruin-before-its-time piece of work.
P'shor'shasha whats*her*name does tea parties when dealmaking. The Faustian bargaining field is one for many moments of politeness before the nasty. To say more would wreck your sanity and purity, so in respect for the deals guarding this server and those not willing to join the dark side I will leave that to the imagination.
You guys are sort of like...I don't know, dogs. Some like you as pets and tools and possibly research aids, others view you as an invasive plague that must be executed, and yet others want to just watch you in silly internet videos.
I fall into the silly internet videos category so hard with a side in research and giving you advice to not die means you can produce more hilarious content in the long run as the universes you create bear chuldren and fruit of their own. I'm doing my part to ensuring more funny stuff to watch happens, like shouting ideas in a Let's Play comments section when they ask for suggestions. And it gets more people I share memories with which means when I commune with bubblesettings more people get to be in my purview when they die or create doomed timelines.
Also you taste fucking delicious like seriously playeroid meat is amazing. Cannibalize some timeclones' corpses sometime.

Thanks for understanding! I wonder how canine players will work the analogy out.
What do dogs keep as dogs?

Oh. Wow, that's all, um...
So we're like... amusing pets to you? Does the whole corruption thing just go along with the desire for entertainment, or are there other reasons to want to infect and control us?
I've been trying to do some research, but frustratingly, most information about Others beyond the barest basics is too corrupted to be able to read. There's... also a disturbing amount of playeroid/Other erotica mixed in. Some people need better hobbies.

Yes and no. Horrorterrors are a complicated spectra and that's just the tiny part it's physically possible for you to understand without corrupting yourself to the point you are more not player than player. You literally cannot cram this shit in your brain in any form beyond 'fuckadvanced math' and vague generalizations before it starts invoking powers because of how tightly interwoven stuff is out here with the balance of aspects. Some of us do it for the hell of it, others for fun, others for no reason at all, others for explicit purposes of 'I want an X of Y to do Z'. The list goes on.
Also for the sake of Fairness in Dealing I should probably remind you that you need a hug, because you are probably decently corrupt by now and if you don't handle that, it will grow. Remarkably fast. And since I haven't been doing it myself it's definitely other Others, most likely kinds you don't want to be messing with. Also you need to have a sustained hug and feelings jam with the nearest suitable coplayers because they're probably getting it too. Law is not well-guarded against any form of corruption because the Law is hardly any better than other naturally occurring rules we're defenestrating so your native won't help you, and Doom is not particularly good at defense on the level of ripping out parts of your soul so you don't really have much you can do about that aspectwise. Get a hug.
I've tried players a few times in various ways I'm not sure what the big fuss is on either. It's average but nobody wants to hear about hentai. MOVING ON yeah they need better hobbies.

You've actually...? Er. Um. Wow. Does that not immediately corrupt them to--you know what, no, not gonna think about it.
Anyways, I'm still in presession right now, so I don't have physical access to any coplayers yet. Can you even gain corruption in presession? If so I guess I could go... try to hug my replayee's guardian? They seem nice enough. I don't really feel corrupted, though; wouldn't something like that feel different? Also, wouldn't you want people to become corrupted?
((got confused at that reference to Doom and then realized that mica's profile link was for some reason linking back his stuff on the old forum which is not updated to account for the stuff I've been doing in the discord chat, like changing him to Breath, rip. I decided to go ahead and set him on his 4th session instead of his 3rd for the forums to keep it separate from the chat, so I made him Doom this time around to avoid more confusion))
