@ShadowWizard Sorry we don't server beer. Can I sugest some apple cider instead?

DroidDev

booooooo

Shadow Wizard

7:45 AM

@SPArchaeologist one hot apple cider then. What's the cost?

@DroidDev mooo

oooops, wrong room! :D

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard :P

DroidDev

8:08 AM

so, @SPArchaeologist, you decided what are we going to do in this room?

SPArchaeologist

8:26 AM

@DroidDev For now, just have fun without need to worry about begin labelled silly.

"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

@DroidDev I am actually trying to interpolate some rules for that game of short stories that Shadow was talking about.

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist that is indeed true. I still enjoy these kind of times with my old friends

SPArchaeologist

8:50 AM

@DroidDev I am thinking about posting some riddles. Problem is, without my big book of "Trolling your friends with irritating nonsense riddles" (original copy signed by Discord) the only riddles I can think of now are mathematical based ones.

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist well.. the problem with those riddles is that, most of the times, there won't be much time for solving those, until it's a weekend(when you are not here)

you need to think of something short and fast

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist this reminds me of a game I started on a forum over 8 years ago. The forum is now dead, but I found the game in Google Cache: webcache.googleusercontent.com/…

SPArchaeologist

9:16 AM

@ShadowWizard Could be a nice idea. Basically a "Post a question and wait for answers" contest?

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist indeed. The problem with my game was the constant need to maintain score board, which took too much of my time.

but score is essential part, otherwise people won't have incentive to play.

SPArchaeologist

9:29 AM

@ShadowWizard I was thinking of your "create a story" idea. Most forums use the old "post next 3 words" but that means no story, just a chain of phrases that no one will actually read.

to have something worth to read you should post a whole mini story, but then? score the opinions from other readers?

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist then we will also need some readers here

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev Other idea. Nonsense philosophy. Debating about something obviously false and attempting to demonstrate it is true by using general nonsense, double meaning of word and such. Wouldn't have a score though.

Shadow Wizard

10:03 AM

@SPArchaeologist no score. I was thinking of posting the beginning of a short story, something like 3 paragraphs, then let others reply with their own idea how the story should proceed, minimum one sentence and maximum few paragraphs. This will then create a short story that can get interesting twists.

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard That could be interesting if no one miss-behave. But event then, I would expect that as the story grows the number of people that knows the full story would rapidly fell.

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist for this it's possible to post the current full story once in a while, similar to what I do with the WAG, posting stats regularly to keep track.

SPArchaeologist

10:19 AM

@ShadowWizard Won't that quickly escalate to something too long to post?

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist I was thinking of writing into a Google Doc or something similar and posting a link each time, with stats like how many users contributed to the story, how many entries each user etc...

thinking about it, this may serve as a score system: one entry = one point

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard You know... your idea could work. Maybe we could really start an try to build a fantasy story. Then I will steal it, make it a jrpg and escape with the money

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist if you decide to go with the story here guess I won't start it in the Den, so we'll have the Den for WAG and this Corner for NES (Never Ending Story, the name I was going to use for it)

@SPArchaeologist lol, good luck with that! ;-D

DroidDev

10:35 AM

@SPArchaeologist I like... oh wait.... I LOVE THAT!!!

let's get on with it

Shadow Wizard

More chances it won't work due to lack of participation :(

That's why one of my rules was going to be "You might reply to your own entry after one day, if nobody else has replied"

Got some other rules to try and keep the quality, still need to refine them though.

DroidDev

all of the things suggested here needs time. I already said, something short and fast

like WAG, you come there, see/find last word, reply and then go

that's pretty fast

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev yeah, but one sentence might also work e.g. "Then he grabbed his dagger and sliced at the evil dragon, just to have the dagger bounce away. The dragon leaped at [name here], ready to severe his head off."

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard ya, that will work. We can design rules over it

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard You really hope something epic, don't you? I remember you that I am involved... so the best you may get is a Guru Guru styled feast :P

And if you folk don't know Guru Guru that is an anime that you must watch

Shadow Wizard

10:40 AM

@SPArchaeologist nothing epic, just gave a nice example :)

SPArchaeologist

Especially @Droid. You would love it. All the nonsense from MLP but pony free so your friend can say nothing against it.

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist they don't know about my anime loving/liking avatar much. I can't watch MLP in my room, because being them(my roommates) there is going to be a hell for me, if I start watching it in front of them.

and also, do we have to restrict it to MLP only or are you just trying to say that your part of nonsense is going to be from MLP? :P

SPArchaeologist

you can do anything you want as far as the "Please keep it clean" rule is followed.

You want to post some Esher like painting? go for it.

Nonsense poem? Feel free to.

The name Sugarcube corner was chosen only because it is where Pinkie lives. And if you knew her you would know that she can be a master of nonsense.

@Anyway, my original message stand. Watch Guru Guru. Nonsense rpg at it best.

DroidDev

10:57 AM

ok, so we know what are the boundaries of messages in this room. So, now any ideas about the game or RPG that we are going to start here

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev I think that an actual RPG would require too much efforts from all the players. Probably the build a story game would be simpler and more appropriate to a drop-in drop-out approach.

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist so, when are we starting it

I am already wondering about the longest story, that I'll tell to my grand children

SPArchaeologist

As soon as I can recover my hands. They are stuck in a "cat box" server farm :P

DroidDev

you should add "open invitation" to all the ponies to room description

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev If you want I could add a countdown to Season 5

DroidDev

11:11 AM

@SPArchaeologist that will make a mess in description. You can add a link

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev I was thinking of updating the description every minute! won't that do?

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist wait... did I just read EVERY MINUTE!!!

you must be kidding, right?

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist you'll need a script for that :)

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev Have I to remember you where you are right now?

room topic changed to Sugarcube Corner: A place for parties and general nosense. Come and join the entropy, but please remember to leave your brains at the wardarobe at the entrance. [entropy] [nonsense] [pegi-7] [pony]

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist oh! sorry, that mistake won't be made again. Btw, where did I leave my ninja scroll :/

SPArchaeologist

11:24 AM

@DroidDev ? You mean those weren't the tablecloths I ordered for serving the cupcakes?

grabs a scroll from the nearest table

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist summons Gamabunta on top of @SPArchaeologist

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev shoots a portal on the floor before the giant frog falls and re-emerge from a near wall

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist throws a shurikken on the wall

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev counts the room walls

@DroidDev Then concludes he is safe since he is hiding in the Fourth one....

DroidDev

11:41 AM

@SPArchaeologist shadow shurikken jutsu

and now there are 8 shurikkens in room, two of them for each wall :P

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev but still no one on the fourth one :P

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist genjutsu trapping complete

after a fraction of second, two shurikkens hit @SPArchaeologist

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev and then get stuck in the wall behind since he is a rogia fruit user.

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist shadow clone illusion complete, emerges behind the enemy

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev welcomes the ninja in the Fourth Wall, since behind him only the wall stands

DroidDev

11:51 AM

@SPArchaeologist waiting for cookies to be served in fourth wall

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev checks with the Floor God (do not ask where this comes from) if he still has some leftovers chocolate biscuits from the party weekend.

DroidDev

12:04 PM

@SPArchaeologist denies to have leftovers chocolates and leaves the room

SPArchaeologist

12:15 PM

@DroidDev Continues to look at the plate full of freshly baked cookies still on the table over the ninja cloth

Oh, well. More cookies for us.

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist release the shadow clone jutsu, real one emerges from behind the wall and start collecting cookies

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev Wonders how much will it take for him to notice that the cookies are all cutie-mark shaped

Shadow Wizard

Cookies? Where?

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard Hi Shadow, they are on the table over there. Free of charge as an opening promotion.

If you need something to use as a cloth for eating, @Droid has brought some nice ninja stile cloths that you can use.

Shadow Wizard

12:35 PM

@SPArchaeologist wow thanks! I need no cloth for eating, cookies are best eaten in bare hands :-)

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard Are you sure? those scrolls are perfect for origami too.

starts building a paper frog out of @DroidDev scrolls

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist scrolls you said? /me grabs a Fireball Scroll from my pocket

/me starts chanting

DroidDev

makes few hand signs

all the scrolls are gone back to Mount Miyoboku and @SPArchaeologist is left empty-handed

Shadow Wizard

I hope you have some anti fire system here :D

SPArchaeologist

well......

DroidDev

12:41 PM

hand signs again followed by a loud voice

SPArchaeologist

Discord, we need the anti fire system.

DroidDev

water ball jutsu

SPArchaeologist

chocolate rains starts to fall over @Shadow

Shadow Wizard

fireball zap out of my hand, just to be blocked by the chocolate, turning it into hot chocolate

yummy! cookies and hot chocolate :D

hope it was nutella! ;)

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard Actually we only use quality chocolate here, so it was Lindt Premium 90% dark chocolate.

Shadow Wizard

12:49 PM

@SPArchaeologist I actually bought it once, but turns out 90% is too much... :(

80% is my limit

Shadow Wizard

1:02 PM

So where's the shower room, @SPArchaeologist? The hot chocolate was tasty but it's getting cold now and still covers my whole face :(

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard takes out an industrial hair drier and sets it on "Cold"

Proceeds to completely dry the chocolate on Shadow face

DroidDev

summons cats to lick @ShadowWizard face

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard Then carefully cuts the chocolate shell leaving the two half intact

Shadow Wizard

amazed at @SPArchaeologist skill

SPArchaeologist

Ok. Now we have a nice Shadow Head chocolate Egg.

Shadow Wizard

1:05 PM

@SPArchaeologist careful, it's highly magical and super powerful!

....not to mention unstable ;)

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard Do you have some preference for the surprise or can I chose?

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist your corner, you get to choose ;)

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard puts a little white pegasi doll inside the chocolate shell, closes it and wraps it in a Easter Egg wrapping.

Here, a "Instable Shadow Egg of Wisdom"

Shadow Wizard

wonders who will get this Easter Egg

Well, looks like we have the first Relic in this place! :D

SPArchaeologist

+10 intelligence, mind control spell bonus. Explodes on use.

Shadow Wizard

1:12 PM

@SPArchaeologist you should equip it on the next user who join this room ;)

DroidDev

emerges in room, while madly running in circle

SPArchaeologist

wonders at the new technique.

Maybe a new Rasengan type. He now spin along with the ball.

@DroidDev Thinks if he can somehow use that .....

Discord, could please reallocate the ninja in the giant hamster wheel? We could use free electricity.

@DroidDev puts a sign "Please do not feed the ~~hamster~~ Droid in front of the wheel

DroidDev

1:29 PM

keeps running in circles, while looking at @SPArchaeologist moving his/her lips

SPArchaeologist

1:45 PM

@DroidDev well, We have resolved the whole "How to keep the room lights on" problem. Now, if we could get @Shadow to work as an oven, I could cut down the gas furniture cost too.

Shadow Wizard

casts "Eternal Fire" spell on 100 candles, spreading them across the room for both light and heat

Good enough, @SPArchaeologist? ^

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard Cast Eternal Fire on the oven. I was expecting @Unihedron to bring some lava buckets but he didn't yet. As for the candles... they are a little to grim for the room... but I may have another use for them.

stores the candles in a box labelled "Birthday Cake Candles"

Shadow Wizard

good thinking, and good use for the candles!

Unihedron

@SPArchaeologist clumsily enters with a backpack full of diamond blocks, obsidian blocks, and lava buckets

Shadow Wizard

casts Eternal Fire on the oven, but the spell fails and the oven explodes

DroidDev

1:51 PM

@SPArchaeologist fire style, fire ball jutsu

Shadow Wizard

Well, it has only 80% success rate :(

Unihedron

:O

What's happening?

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist umm, you need new oven

@Unihedron @DroidDev is running in circles, I just ruined the oven. :D

SPArchaeologist

@Unihedron Just what I needed! Obsidian!

Unihedron

hands over the backpack to @SPArchaeologist; goes for the menu

SPArchaeologist

1:53 PM

rebuilds a new oven out of obsidian blocks

@Unihedron hands the menu We can also take custom orders.

Ok. Seems that the oven is ready. Have fun trying to make this explode, @ShadowWizard. Generations of creepers hadn't luck....

Shadow Wizard

out of Eternal Fire, so cast a Mega Fireball spell inside the oven. The oven absorbs the heat and stay hot for long hours to come

Unihedron

Yay for warmth!

Shadow Wizard

yup

Shadow Wizard

2:09 PM

@DroidDev you done running in circles? ;)

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard nopes, now, I am seriously going mad

Shadow Wizard

hmm...

casts Slow spell on @DroidDev

DroidDev

right now, I am running through JavaMail API, trying to figure out a way to add inline images in mail

@ShadowWizard spell dodged because of ultra-high speed

Unihedron

continues eating the menu

Shadow Wizard

casts Mass Slow spell, engulfing the whole room. Everything is slowing down including time itself

Luckily it's temporary spell :D

Unihedron

2:15 PM

Luckily time is relative, and that theoretically has no effect. :D

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard Notices that all the others seem somehow slower

takes a little pocket watch and start tinkering with the cogs

Aaaaand fixed.

@ShadowWizard, you should really use some simpler solutions sometime.

build up a solid bedrock wall in front of @Droid

Shadow Wizard

2:32 PM

@SPArchaeologist no can do, spells is all I know :D

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard Where is the "Sdeng"? I expected a "Sdeng"!

Shadow Wizard

scratching head, wondering what "Sdeng" means

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard You are right, that onomatopoeia isn't used much in English. Make it a "Crash".

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist oh, so you refer to what happens when @DroidDev hits the solid bedrock wall?

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard yes. I was expecting a crash, a bang, something.

Shadow Wizard

2:46 PM

@SPArchaeologist well, my Mass Slow doesn't affect time anymore but it did slow @DroidDev down a lot so now he is moving in a speed of one inch per hour. Assuming the wall is 2 inch from him ATM, he will hit within... let's see... little less than 2 hours :)

And it will produce a tiny "thud"

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard Only a thud? what kind of spell is that? We should have used noro noro beams. All the fun of slowing him with all the impact strength still there :P

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist well, he dodged the Slow spell which would have slowed him down to walking pace so I had to use the powerful version

I can cast Dispel if you like

SPArchaeologist

3:02 PM

@ShadowWizard dispel? Why not Haste?

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist Mass Haste maybe, as we are all still slow. and yes, in this case Mass Haste and Dispel would have the same effect. Actually, Dispel will also remove the Eternal Fire from the candles.

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard nope. I need those candles.

I want to see the output when somepony will blow on his birthday cake..

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist eh, that would be funny! :D

anyway, think it's time to arrange that "Sdeng" for you

casts Mass Haste spell on the room, canceling the effects of the Mass Slow. Everything is back to normal except for a huge "THUMP" sound and a crazed @DroidDev emerging through the broken bedrock wall, staggering off his feet, and falling face flat on the table in front of @Unihedron

SPArchaeologist

So you can break bedrock if you use a ninja-pickaxe?

Unihedron

What the... can't keep up

SPArchaeologist

3:13 PM

turns out Eurt Odanom time distortion field

Shadow Wizard

@Unihedron you now have a droid in front of you, that's all, nothing exciting :D

@SPArchaeologist he reached such a speed that only an Obsidian Wall or something harder could really stand it without breaking

Unihedron

shifts three seconds back through time, researches the falling table and bedrock dust emerging as the surface contact of the bedrock wall reacts giving heat by friction, nullifying a small amount of air; shifts back to reality; still too surprised to react

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard Bedrock is the base layer of a minecraft world. It is unbreakable by definition :P Unless you use some bugs.

@ShadowWizard That's why if you look you can see that I had put a little beetle on @DroidDev nose, so that the bug would break the wall.

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist oh, didn't know that thought it's just a solid rock. Hmm..... good trick with that beetle!

Looks like @Unihedron nullified most of the damage, @DroidDev is sound and healthy.

Unihedron

goes back in time to nullify the damage dealt to @Droid in the hit; returns and steps away for him to fall onto the ground slowly

Shadow Wizard

3:28 PM

Poor @DroidDev is flooded with pings by now :D

SPArchaeologist

You are saying we should stop pinging @DroidDev?

Because if you think we should stop pinging @DroidDev, you should say clearly

you don't want somepony pinging @DroidDev if you think we should stop pinging @DroidDev

Shadow Wizard

rolling on the floor, laughing and pointing at @DroidDev

Unihedron

If you're happy and you know it, ping @DroidDev!

pings @DroidDev

If you're happy and you know it, ping @DroidDev!

pings @DroidDev

If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to share it, if you're happy and you know it, ping @DroidDev!

pings @DroidDev

SPArchaeologist

@ShadowWizard, Please go in the den and reply "Flu" to my message. I had a wrong word posted caused by some cut&paste gone wrong.

I intended to reply "Flu" but didn't notice the error and now can't change it

Have to go for a while I will try to return later. see ya

DroidDev

5:31 PM

ok, so finally when I am here, everyone is scared away

because of such high speed collision, I had to use my medical ninjutsu to treat myself

and now I am all out of chakra :(

but I only need chakra for ninjutsu and genjutsu

I can ping all of you guys without that :P

so, if you are here and you are alone, ping @Unihedron @ShadowWizard @SPArchaeologist
