Ah, a quinton then, with the tail looking like an arm.

Heh, I thought the quinton was going to ask them to hit all the modrons holding drawings of chariots to prove they are

Re: OOTS #1265 - The Discussion Thread
I love you Garm.
Also: honestly Redcloak I hate the ones that repeat themselves a lot more. You ever seen the same 15 second ad 4 times in a row? Or more?Hate me if you want. But that's your issue to fix, not mine.

Re: OOTS #1265 - The Discussion Thread
I wonder if "Skip" will come back to haunt Redcloak. And "you don't need to know that" seems like it might cause problems if and when the gate is found.
Also, poor "Accept" modron.
Functionally infinite number of forcewalls? Really? That's pretty OP.
And Greyview playing D&D and not liking it is so disappointing.This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: OOTS #1265 - The Discussion Thread
Hm, is that a reminder that force walls can't contain anything that can teleport?
Still, that thing presents a pretty huge obstacle for the OOTS. A pretty dangerous addition to team evil's party for now, and they're not going to be spending many resources as they finish searching. But if they wait too long, the summon might mentally map the place and realize there are conflicting tunnels...or worse, sense the teleportation trick immediately when it happens.

But does Kraagor's Tomb have "pull the pins in the right order to get the treasure" puzzles? Didn't think so.

Re: OOTS #1265 - The Discussion Thread
At some point the quinton may realize it just teleported - but Redcloak did not ask it to reveal that they'd teleported, or to draw him a 3D map. He asked for the orientation and dimensions of every room they enter, but not the coordinates, because it hasn't occurred to him that he's being teleported around. And when dealing with a creature of pure law, best to define that "room" includes "corridors, passages, halls, staircases, and the like".
What? Games that don't live up to their advertising? WELL I NEVER. And here I was going to write "Age of Monsters".Last edited by Shining Wrath; 2022-08-18 at 09:28 AM.

Makes sense that we need a new member for Team Evil to counterbalance all the hangers on that the Order has been accumulating.

Re: OOTS #1265 - The Discussion Thread
As always, Greyview is right. Why are the ads always so *obviously* different from the game? Like, do they think you won't notice the game you're playing appears to have no connection, game-wise, art-style or visually to what the ad claimed?

Re: OOTS #1265 - The Discussion Thread
Depends on those terms that Redcloak just skipped. Whatever they were, the quinton will obey them to the last jot and tittle. Like I said, Redcloak thinking he knows what's in the agreement is likely to bite him. We're getting a lot of "Redcloak isn't as smart as he thinks he is" lessons recently, and I think this will be another.

The modrons continue to be hilarious. I like the ad reference.

Re: OOTS #1265 - The Discussion Thread
Skip? Redcloak, you disappoint me, I thought you were more Lawful than that.
Unfortunately, owing to a non-sufficient number of clicks, the quinton will recieve no payment for the sponsorship.
[Honestly, I'd have found it funnier if the modron's ad went the opposite way, and advertised Home Office Simulator. THRILL to the joy of spreadsheets. COWER before the wiggly red lines of spellcheck...]

Re: OOTS #1265 - The Discussion Thread
Nah, if that were an issue then people wouldn't make genie wishes. Or summon demons.
Getting access to lots of barely-restrained power is always going to be tempting regardless of how badly it has gone in the past. You're always the one who's going to have learned the lesson and will do things right this time.

Re: OOTS #1265 - The Discussion Thread
They're getting paid. And they've set up a whole contract system for it. They're clearly not opposed to this sort of things.
And yet, I have a feeling the quinton will agree to Redcloak's terms. The Deathworm wasn't a handsitter either.
So? they're Lawful Neutral, not Lawful evil, why would they screw their clients over without a reason?
Edit: Like Redcloak just said he's summoned modrons before, if he needed to be hyperspecific, he would know.Last edited by Fyraltari; 2022-08-18 at 09:53 AM.

Re: OOTS #1265 - The Discussion Thread
As someone in the gaming industry
Well played Giant. Well Played ;D
I assume this is actually a reference to many companies like Playrix that give you ads to one type of game and it turns out to be a completely different type of game.
Not just the graphics quality.
Like the many many advertisers for "pull the pin" type games where the game ended being a match-3 and stuff like that.

They're True Lawful; they do things By The Book. Whether following the rules set out to the letter helps them [Good] or screws them [Evil] is of literally no concern whatsoever.
