[02:36] GT: ~He did? That'ʃ...ʃomewhat vnʃvrpriʃing, I ʃvppoʃe.~

[02:37] AC: yeah, and now I'm wondering

[02:38] AC: just who the fuck you are

[02:38] GT: ~I hardly think there'ʃ a need to take that ʃort of tone. There really waʃn't occaʃion to introdvce myʃelf properly in ovr firʃt converʃation.~

[02:39] GT: ~My name iʃ Ryʃpor Tezeti, thovgh I ʃometimeʃ go by 'word machine' theʃe dayʃ. 3=:3~

[02:40] AC: hmm, where have I heard

[02:40] AC: that name before?

[02:41] GT: ~Moʃt likely from Doir, if I know him at all.~

[02:42] AC: ehh, probably

[02:43] AC: I assume Doir was the reason for your initial contact

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:44] GT: ~Not directly, no. He waʃ involved on a ʃomewhat tangential baʃiʃ, if that makeʃ any ʃenʃe.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:45] AC: it doesn't

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:46] GT: ~Hrm.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:46] AC: how exactly was he involved?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:47] AC: maybe it'll make more sense if it's explained

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:48] GT: ~I received yovr chvmhandle from him, and he ʃvggeʃted I troll yov. I'm not entirely ʃvre why, really. I ʃvʃpect he waʃ trying to ʃet in motion ʃome grand ʃcheme of ʃortʃ, thovgh what it iʃ I covldn't ʃay.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:49] AC: knowing Doir, plans that don't make sense seems about right for him

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:49] GT: ~Haha, indeed.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:51] GT: ~ʃo yov ʃaid Doir gave yov my chvmhandle? Did he give yov any context, or did he ʃimply paʃʃ it over while winking knowingly?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:52] AC: said something about fashion

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:52] AC: like that's what's important right now

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:53] GT: ~Yeʃ, faʃhion doeʃ tend to ʃeem like more of a pleaʃant diverʃion than anything ʃeriovʃ, thovgh yov'd better not tell Maenam I ʃaid that, haha.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:54] GT: ~What Iʃ important right now in yovr opinion, if I might aʃk?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:54] AC: to be frank

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:55] GT: ~...Yov make a very good point. One that'ʃ been driven home eʃpecially hard over theʃe paʃt covple of weekʃ.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:56] AC: not surprising

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:57] AC: my life didn't change much once the game started

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[02:58] AC: I would be the one who knows what's important

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:00] GT: ~Bvt iʃ what'ʃ important to yov the ʃame aʃ what'ʃ important to another, thovgh? I'd think that claʃheʃ of priority accovnt for mvch of the ʃtrife that takeʃ place in ovr vniverʃeʃ.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:03] AC: isn't that why everyone fights for it?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:05] GT: ~Yeʃ, that eternal war of attrition againʃt the inevitable. Thovgh, if what I've heard iʃ to be believed, ʃome of vʃ may be able to win it, if we play the game correctly.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:07] AC: I have serious doubts in our ability to accomplish such a thing

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:08] AC: not just because it sounds like a load of crock

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:08] AC: but because we've definitely screwed up

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:09] GT: ~Why do yov ʃay that?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:09] AC: Jack, for starters

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:10] GT: ~Oh yeʃ, that whole 'dovble God Tiering' bvʃineʃʃ. I'd have to agree that it ʃeemʃ to be nigh impoʃʃible to beat him at thiʃ point.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:11] AC: especially with the dwindling number of players

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:11] GT: ~...Indeed.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:11] GT: ~Which iʃ why, honeʃtly, I don't intend to even attempt to defeat him.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:12] AC: if you can't beat him, join him?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:12] GT: ~No! GodOʃ no.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:13] GT: ~He'ʃ been reʃponʃible for the deathʃ of far too many of my friendʃ and comradeʃ for me to even CONʃIDER joining him.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:14] GT: ~Honeʃtly, at thiʃ point the moʃt viable option ʃeemʃ to be cavʃing the ʃcratch and determining Libby'ʃ method of cvrviving it.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:14] AC: the what?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:14] GT: ~The ʃcratch.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:14] GT: ~It'ʃ ʃomewhat akin to an 'emerbency reʃet bvtton'.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:15] GT: ~Emergency, ʃorry.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:15] AC: sounds dangerous

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:16] GT: ~It'ʃ the only ʃolvtion I can think of to permanently kill Jack withovt any bloodʃhed or violence.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:16] GT: ~If we can pvll it off, he won't merely be dead - he will be eraʃed from exiʃtence.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:16] GT: ~I very mvch dovbt even a dovble God Tier can revive from that.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:17] AC: assuming it works

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:18] GT: ~...Aʃʃvming it workʃ, yeʃ.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:18] AC: what is the effects of this scratch?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:20] GT: ~Ovr entire ʃeʃʃion - playerʃ, landʃ, denizenʃ - iʃ eraʃed aʃ if it never happened, and time revertʃ to before ʃGRVB began, in the hopeʃ that thiʃ time arovnd, better choiceʃ will be made, and a more favorable ovtcome will be reached.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:20] GT: ~There iʃ a ʃlight catch, however.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:21] AC: this sounds like the sort of thing Jack would know about and have a plan to deal with it

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:24] GT: ~Trve. I ʃvppoʃe it iʃn't terribly likely to kill Jack after all, vnleʃʃ perhapʃ one of vʃ ʃtayʃ behind and diʃtractʃ him long enovgh for both of them to be conʃvmed by the ʃcratch, which iʃ...not a pleaʃant ʃcenario to contemplate.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:25] GT: ~It doeʃ give the new ʃeʃʃion a bit of an advantage, in that they will have foreknowledge and information we did not initially.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:25] GT: ~Perhapʃ that will be enovgh, in the end.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:31] AC: guess I won't get to figure out what the fuck was with the computer in my freezer

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:31] GT: ~The compvter in yovr freezer?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:36] AC: kinda was trying not to die and stuff

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:41] GT: ~The myʃteriovʃ timer covnting down on the 'crvxtrvder' didn't exactly help my nerveʃ, either.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:42] AC: probably nothing good

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:42] AC: since it's related to this game

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:46] GT: ~Yov're lvcky yov had the chance to ʃign vp. I never really had any ʃort of an option NOT to play, really.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:47] AC: is it really better knowing the destruction I've caused was done so willingly?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[03:53] GT: ~Yov ʃaid yovrʃelf yov had no idea what thiʃ game wovld entail. None of vʃ did. None of thiʃ iʃ even remotely yovr favlt.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:00] AC: besides being the reason Jack is harassing us, which means I'll have had a hand in the deaths of everyone that is caught in the scratch

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:02] GT: ~Well, then yov'll jvʃt have to try yovr hardeʃt to enʃvre no one DOEʃ get cavght in the ʃcratch, won't yov?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:02] GT: ~I think that if yov can ʃave jvʃt one perʃon who wovld have been obliterated, yov will have repaid yovr debt in fvll.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:08] GT: ~I think that the fact yov don't want to hvrt anyone iʃ a very good indicator of how likely yov are to actvally do it.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:09] GT: ~And even if yov do have another, ahaha, 'epiʃode', I think yov have a very capable and loving grovp of friendʃ who will do anything to help yov.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:13] AC: yeah, what of it?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:15] GT: ~Well, in troll ʃociety, it'ʃ very common for a highblood, eʃpecially one who haʃ freqvent 'rageʃ' mvch like yovr 'ʃitvation', to have another troll they can depend on to calm them down and talk reaʃon into them once more. Thiʃ iʃ called a 'moirallegiance'.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:16] AC: and?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:16] GT: ~Thiʃ alʃo goeʃ in the other direction aʃ well. Both partieʃ have a mvtvally beneficial arrangement where each balanceʃ the other.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:17] GT: ~It might be worth conʃidering entering into a 'moirallegiance' with Doir. I'm ʃvre he wovld be open to the proʃpect.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:18] AC: is that really the smartest idea? I think Doir would likely be the cause of most of my outbursts

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:22] GT: ~Well, aʃ I ʃaid, each party iʃ inflvenced by the other. Moirallegiance iʃ not a one-way ʃtreet. I think that yovr more thovghtfvl and ʃeriovʃ demeanor may help to cvrb Doir'ʃ impvlʃive tendencieʃ, which, if I'm reading thingʃ correctly, tend to be the cavʃe of...well, the cavʃe.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:24] AC: while I agree he does need some help, I'm not so sure I'm the sort of person who can deal with his shit all the time

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:26] GT: ~By hiʃ 'ʃhit', yov mean...?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:27] AC: just Doir being Doir

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:28] GT: ~Haha, yeʃ, I know what yov mean.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:29] GT: ~Wovld yov ʃay yov enjoy being friendʃ with him, at the very leaʃt?~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:30] AC: sometimes

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:30] AC: he can be pretty insufferable every so often

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:33] GT: ~Well, from what I've ʃeen, moirallegiance iʃ really jvʃt a more trvʃting verʃion of friendʃhip. Yovr dynamic wovld be mvch the ʃame aʃ before, except yov wovld liʃten to hiʃ problemʃ and offer advice, and he wovld do the ʃame for yov. It wovldn't reqvire being with him every minvte of every day.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:33] GT: ~In eʃʃence, yov wovld become each other'ʃ ʃhovlder to lean on and trvʃted confidante.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:34] AC: ugh, I don't know, I don't like depending on other people and I don't want anyone relying on me much either

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:36] GT: ~Yov don't have to make thiʃ deciʃion right away. Take aʃ long aʃ yov need to ponder the idea.~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:40] AC: well then, I guess I need to go do some thinking

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;-qt-block-indent:0;text-indent:0px;">[04:41] GT: ~All right. I'll talk to yov later, then, Nate!~
