I'm not even going to "13OTH:3R WITH TH:3 STUPID QUIRK".
My session is insane. There are 4 humans and 2 trolls. Also, I'm the only replayer.
Initially, I didn't want to play at all because SGRU13 IS :3VIL, yadda yadda, but someone on the forum made a very convincing argument about why I should play.
The other troll is being dodgy about whether he/she is a boy or a girl, but I did the math. Since the number of boys = number of girls, then, assuming none of the humans were lying, the other troll should be male.
From what I can tell, mixed-species sessions are very common around here so I'll just put that up to Sgrub's regular shenanigans. What's noticeably different for me since my last session, however is that we don't have Punch Designixes-- We have QR Designixes.
We have a machine called a Nand Remixer. From the lines and slots, I assume we're supposed to insert two cards printed with square pixelly things from the QR Designix, and one blank captcha card. I haven't figured out how exactly it does things.
The QR Designix still 'uses up' a captcha card by putting a hole through it, then patching the hole with some sort of glassy material printed with above mentioned pixelly things.
Second difference, the QR Designix accepts 53 characters, but seems backwards compatible with the old alchemy system. It automatically appends 45 zeros to the end.
Oh, this last one. This one freaked me out-- One of our players got meteored before getting into the medium. Apparently, yeah he was supposed to die before entry (I M:3AN S:3:3ING AS W:3'R:3 STILL IN TH:3 ALPHA TIM:3LIN:3 OF COURS:3). We prototyped him into his sprite (Post entry, of course) and he can play the game as more or less normal. I think.
I'll keep this log updated whenever something significant happens. Speaking of which, I'm the Smith of Flesh in this session? This should be fun.
I'm not Time or Space, which means I get to basically slack off right?

What, no, you can't slack off. Go to whoever told you that and punch him because he doesn't know what he's talking about and he could have gotten you killed. You all need to do quests and shit to progress, you're all needed at maximum power to fight the BK, and if you fuck around instead of doing quests, you'll trigger the Reckoning early.

Irrelevant. I'm keeping the forum open, and if what I'm doing is keeping us in the Alpha, then I'm doing the right thing.
If I arbitrarily decide to corrupt myself and we still remained in the Alpha timeline, then I'm still doing the right thing.
I'm going to fuck around with this weird alchemy system.
I'm going to do some quests regardless. It'll be easier to conduct experiments if the consorts 'trust' me.

I think predestination only applies if you have a way of seeing the future/messing with time in the first place. The act of messing with time collapses the viable timelines into one, forcing you to fulfill the loop/prophecy or become "doomed". Which is why time nonsense is generally not worth it unless you know what you're doing.

Whatever you d don't slack off. You have things like quests and shit, go fuck ng do them. You can build things out of "Fle h" so go build some shit and protec your "T me" and "Sp ce" players, cuz when they bi e the dust guess who has to pick up their jobs. You. Trust me it is not fuckin fun to have e eryone else die and have to do "E to iology", "Frog Bree ing", dun eon diving to le el grind, and "The Re koning" by yourself be ause you slacked off on kee ing tabs on them. You have a re ponsibility to keep yourself alive, and a re ponsibility to keep your co-players alive.

What are you talking about. Ectobiology and frog breeding are the best parts of the game.
ANYWAY I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGUR:3 OUT THIS STUPID ALCH:3MY SYST:3M. I'm guessing part of my role as Smith is to figure it out? But GOSH! None of the items combined make sense. It's like I combine two things and they turn into this thing that doesn't really look like either of the two things. Like, at all.

Because that's what I learned from being mind? Well more specifically, after Endless Climb, yeah... It's kind of like a multiple choice test. There's only one answer anyway so all the other ones don't really matter that much unless the wrong answer helps you get the right answer? For reference, by the way, this is what the 'punched card' which is actually a printed card by the way, for the perfectly generic object It took me a while to figure out that I could still stack two cards together to || them... what's wrong with me ugh.

Thanks to C:3RTAIN UNNAM:3D 13:3N:3FACTORS WHICH WILL NOT 13:3 NAM:3D, I was given a corruption detector, which helps me keep track if I'm being corrupted by Angels or Horrorterrors. Thanks to aforementioned, corruption detector, I can basically balance my corruption so I don't swing too far to either side. SPEAKING OF WHICH, > GC: Show of new favorite weapons These things are basically point and shoot to win. MOD EDIT: post images of critically corrupted weapons again, why don't you. (oh, you know why. I will kick your ass from here asap, that's why)

Okay, so. Umm. I got into a fight with one of my coplayers because he was a human castist?
Okay, here's the full story.
When I entered the second gate, I was sent to his land so I met up with him. He looked kinda surprised at first, so I guess he wasn't expecting that I'd actually be a troll. And then he started talking about the human caste system.
So I didn't actually, you know, care, so I went onto the IRC to tune him out and then I mentioned him talking about the human caste system. I mean it's confusing, so I had to ask for help because there was probably some kind of caste etiquette or something that I don't know about humans.
Anyway, staApp told me to smack the guy along the head and that humans don't use caste systems. So I did that and the guy got mad (I mean obviously, I hit him on the head also told him that castes didn't matter anymore, but like when did it ever I mean come on.), and then stormed off.
I was kind of worried that he might attack the Time player since the Time player has not-pale-pink skin and opened up a memo to warn everyone.
So they all got mad and went <3- for the guy at the same time and wanted to kill him I think. It took a lot of convincing, but now everyone just wants to ignore him anyway.
Apparently, the other troll player already knew about the castist human and now the other humans are mad at him/her because he/she didn't tell them about it.
What's worse is that I think the castist is the Heir of Stars and he'll be having a hard time making connections.

Okay, this is what happened in the last leg of our session. The middle part was just teenage drama etc,. Nobody cares about that.
Anyway, apparently, our time player was being advised by her angel corrupted future self. She corrupted herself because she saw it already happened. Futurehappened.
Anyway, angel!Future!Time player found out about the time I joked about firing a beam of angelly stuff into the furthest ring and took it seriously. When I said I was just kidding about that, she said angels would kill all of us if I didn't go through with it.
To be honest, I WAS kind of curious myself, and it was kind of like a win-win situation for me, except it was also a lose-lose situation for me. We (And by we, I mean mostly the time player) trapped some carapaces in a ship, and then subjected them to a few years of corruption within the span of minutes. When she was convinced they were sufficiently corrupted, we sent them off to the ring.
I decorrupted her and sent her through the door, before going through myself.

Hmm okay, let's see. After that nightmare of a session was over, I've pretty much stagnated. No new experiments or anything. I'm just rereading this now but... What if I send stuff through the furthest ring? It's apparently possible to traverse it via shennanigans, so why not send objects through it. I have prepared sample messages containing these words. Well they're not really so much words, but alchemy codes. Since sending alchemy is pretty much meaningless, I suggest none of you try to see what these codes create. I'm only using them as a placeholder message. W0000000 G0000000 0W000000 0G000000 80000000 40000000 08000000 04000000 20000000 10000000 02000000 01000000
....
000000W0 000000G0 0000000W 0000000G 00000080 00000040 00000008 00000004 00000020 00000010 00000002 00000001
Should anyone come across this message Do not alchemize any of the above codes I do not know what they'll make in your session
This is but one of a hundred thousand identical messages Should you find one, please contact the user 'grinningCat'
I put them in bottles and alchemized roughly a hundred thousand of these and then launched them all into the furthest ring. Should anyone come across any of these bottles, please contact me as soon as you can.

Oh! I got one of these a few sessions back when I was travelling through the ring. I forgot about it and didn't do any contacting because...
Well, travelling through the ring alone is very mentally taxing, to say the least. I would kind of like to not go into anymore detail for now unless someone needs information for their own ring-travelling escapades.

Ah, well, I'd like to know if you opened the bottle at least. I want to know if the text might have been changed.

I dunno. It was a garbled mess of about twenty different dialects of otherlanguage, and I tried my hardest not to read too much of it....
Well...
"grinningCat" was in the dialect used by the Noble Circle of Horrorterrors, who I was actually paying attention due to...
Well, yeah. I didn't really come online except to talk to my co-players for about three sessions after that, so I sorta forgot.
