[16:16:30] ‹DoctorC› Well, we don't actually kill characters in EtG, do we?
[16:16:33] ‹Aves› ‹@DoctorC› TRUE PACIFIST Woot woot
[16:17:02] ‹Ryli› Pretty sure if you hit a frog with a Lightning bolt it dies.
[16:17:17] ‹Espithel› If you hit a frog with SoW Reflect, and it kills your opponent
[16:17:24] ‹Espithel› The frog doesn't die, but your opponent does.
[16:17:25] ‹Espithel› Does that count?
[16:17:44] ‹DoctorC› I mean, if we did, we would only have 29 FG games, giving the fact that we win every single one
[16:18:26] ‹DoctorC› ‹@Ryli› But then the Frog gets back into the deck of the owner, doesn't it?
[16:18:37] ‹Ryli› Resetting other games gives you as many kills against an opponent as you wish.
[16:20:25] ‹Espithel› ‹@DoctorC› So the frog is trapped inside of a card
[16:20:48] ‹Espithel› How is that not murder to begin with?
[16:22:07] ‹DoctorC› ‹@Espithel› Well, maybe you give birth to the frog with quanta every time you need it?
[16:22:38] ‹DoctorC› Imagine creatures as pack of instant noodles being cooked in pot of quanta.[16:23:19] ‹DoctorC› Pack of reusable noodles, know that you can reuse the frog
[16:23:29] ‹Espithel› ‹@DoctorC› No, sorry
[16:23:33] ‹TheonlyrealBeef› So you... eat the creatures after you win?
[16:23:36] ‹Espithel› I'm currently imagining giving birth to a frog[16:23:37] ‹Ryli› ‹@DoctorC› You're just making it worse. You keep frogspawn in instant noodle packets, speed up their growth by cooking them in a pan, then trap them in a card. The rest of us only kill them.
[16:23:44] ‹Espithel› Thanks for that image
[16:24:00] ‹Espithel› And now I'm imagining giving birth to fully-sized dragons
[16:24:05] ‹Espithel› Thanks for that image too
[16:24:09] ‹Espithel› What next? Bloodsuckers?
[16:24:19] ‹Ryli› ‹@Espithel› We know you're enjoying it.
[16:24:32] ‹Ryli› ‹@Espithel› No one plays Bloodsuckers, don't worry.
[16:24:43] ‹DoctorC› That's not what I meant =D
[16:24:44] ‹TheonlyrealBeef› Pufferfishes, barbs and all.[16:24:50] ‹Espithel› Does this concept of giving birth to things to play the game extend to prems and spells?
[16:25:14] ‹DoctorC› Either way, I'm gonna shut up and help my mom with the pie
[16:25:18] ‹Espithel› ‹@DoctorC› "You give birth to the frog" WHAT IN SHIVA'S NAME COULD IT POSSIBLY OTHERWISE MEAN[Snip]
[16:31:06] ‹Espithel› So if this birthing concept applies to spells too
[16:31:14] ‹Espithel› Does this mean that elementals and breed with black holes?
[16:31:22] ‹Espithel› And I mean, all the feking ethical implications here
[16:31:37] ‹DoctorC› ‹@Espithel› You don't birth spells, you cast them
[16:32:22] ‹Espithel› ‹@DoctorC› So why do we birth giant rocks that can collapse into black holes, but cast fire bolts?
[16:32:37] ‹Espithel› I want to give birth to a fire bolt dammit
[16:32:55] ‹Ryli› ‹@Espithel› Eat a lot of spicy food.
[16:33:03] ‹DoctorC› ^
[16:33:19] ‹Espithel› And then comes the concept of pillars
[16:33:21] ‹TheonlyrealBeef› That's Unstable Gas.
[16:33:39] ‹Espithel› Nah, unstable gas is contained and has to be ignited
[16:33:46] ‹Ryli› ‹@TheonlyrealBeef› Not if it's solid(ish).
[16:33:53] ‹Espithel› Although how you give birth to a glass bottle is another question entirely
[16:34:29] ‹Espithel› So is a fight between two elementals really just childcare?[16:35:04] ‹TheonlyrealBeef› Well, it is contained, until it comes out of the other exhaust with a smell. Lightning it up would then cause the explosion!
[16:35:09] ‹Ryli› That's a deep metaphor, you need to slow down.
[16:35:27] ‹DoctorC› ^
[16:36:24] ‹Espithel› I haven't even started, Ryli
[16:36:33] ‹Espithel› You have only yourselves to blame for this
[16:36:42] ‹Espithel› Well, DoctorC is to blame but w/e
[16:36:54] ‹Ryli› ‹@Espithel› I didn't say stop, we just need to process things before we move between concepts.
[16:37:23] ‹Ryli› and make a thread so non chat regulars don't miss out.[16:37:26] ‹DoctorC› (By the way, unstable gas is a permanent and can possible be carried around like weapons and what not)
[16:37:30] ‹Espithel› Explain how we give birth to graveyards, then![16:38:02] ‹DoctorC› Goddamn it, Espi. It was just a metaphor xD
[16:38:07] ‹TheonlyrealBeef› Carrying a Graveyard sounds even less plausible for that explanation
[16:38:22] ‹DoctorC› True
[16:38:28] ‹Espithel› There is no such thing as a metaphor where I live
[16:39:00] ‹Espithel› Oh
[16:39:06] ‹Espithel› I think I figured it out
[16:39:20] ‹Ryli› You can convert your truck into a graveyard when you have enough bodies.
[16:39:23] ‹DoctorC› Here comes the madness
[16:39:41] ‹Espithel› Maybe our snatches are just alternate dimensions that we retrieve things from
[16:39:55] ‹Espithel› Although how we stuff phase dragons back inside said dimension is another question entirely
[16:40:23] ‹Espithel› So take the graveyard. We just absorb a graveyard via unknown processes
[16:40:29] ‹Espithel› And when we need it, we just plop it out.
[16:40:45] ‹Espithel› I wish real life worked like this[16:41:05] ‹DoctorC› ‹@Ryli› I don't think there are trucks in EtG universe. I think, there would be something among the lines of chariot.
[16:41:51] ‹Ryli› ‹@DoctorC› They have far more impressive things than trucks, I doubt it'd be that difficult a task.
[16:41:51] ‹DoctorC› ‹@Espithel› Why would you need a graveyard in real life? o.o
[16:42:03] ‹DoctorC› ‹@Ryli› True
[16:42:12] ‹TheonlyrealBeef› Steam machines but no locomotives?
[16:42:25] ‹Espithel› Oh, those too
[16:42:38] ‹DoctorC› ‹@TheonlyrealBeef› Locomotives require rails
[16:42:39] ‹Espithel› I didn't know (presumably) organic elementals could have children robots twice their size
[16:43:07] ‹TheonlyrealBeef› ‹@DoctorC› Just plop some wheels under and you can call it a truck.
[16:43:18] ‹DoctorC› ‹@Espithel› It's magic, don't ask silly questions
[16:43:27] ‹DoctorC› ‹@TheonlyrealBeef› Fair enough.
[16:44:26] ‹Espithel› ‹@DoctorC› Fa kyu
[16:44:49] ‹Espithel› So, moral of the day kids: Don't casually talk about giving birth to frogs or this happens
[16:45:36] ‹TheonlyrealBeef› Just give birth to some minions to help you out.
[16:45:52] ‹Espithel› Wouldn't help
[16:45:55] ‹DoctorC› I mean, if you think about it, why would we have catapults if we could have steam-powered machines that can obliterate everything?
[16:46:51] ‹Espithel› I'd need more computers - Then again, I could just solder my ovaries together to make some circuit board and then combine that with all the other fluids in my endless heart-shaped bag of holding
[16:46:57] ‹Espithel› And birth a computer, then some minions[16:47:04] ‹TheonlyrealBeef› Because steam requires water and fire to cooperate: the two don't get along very well.
[16:47:34] ‹TheonlyrealBeef› Or birth a computer-birthing minion.
[16:47:51] ‹Espithel› ‹@TheonlyrealBeef› Wait, you can do that?
[16:48:06] ‹DoctorC› Actually, if you think about it, how can something among the lines of Adrenaline be applied to SM?
[16:48:26] ‹TheonlyrealBeef› We were not supposed to ask silly questions, right? So sure
[16:48:57] ‹Espithel› ‹@TheonlyrealBeef› Can you birth yourself?
[16:49:17] ‹TheonlyrealBeef› Just need Mitosis.
