L2[18:25:13] *** Server sets mode: +CLPTgnt

L3[19:20:48] <packbart> a bit long even for a Culture ship but not unheard of

L4[19:25:17] <Althego> hehe, you can interpret the outcome as the ship name

L5[19:25:31] <Althego> and it ahs the right feel

L6[19:35:13] <FLHerne> packbart: it's shorter than the ...joshing peevishness... I think

L7[19:37:47] <packbart> The Culture ship Mistake Not..., short for Mistake Not My Current State Of Joshing Gentle Peevishness For The Awesome And Terrible Majesty Of The Towering Seas Of Ire That Are Themselves The Mere Milquetoast Shallows Fringing My Vast Oceans Of Wrath, is an Eccentric Offensive Unit

L8[19:38:04] <packbart> yep, that's longer

L11[20:51:23] <FLHerne> .mission add Gene questions whether every capsule really needs a Hammond organ for playing Dramatic Space Music.

L12[20:51:23] <LunchBot> Added mission: Gene questions whether every capsule really needs a Hammond organ for playing Dramatic Space Music.

L13[20:53:24] <raptop> They can use other methods of achieving the same sound, I guess

L17[22:21:25] <FLHerne> .outcome add Tourists climb all over your craft trying to get photos.

L18[22:21:25] <LunchBot> Added outcome: Tourists climb all over your craft trying to get photos.

L19[22:22:27] <Mat2ch> !mission

L20[22:22:28] <LunchBot> You exorcise LunchBot's RNG. You cross the threshold from aerodynamics into the fantastic world of thermodynamics.

L21[22:22:58] <Mat2ch> Exorcision worked here pretty well.

L23[22:33:27] <sandbox> !mission

L24[22:33:27] <LunchBot> You attempt to refine Rockwell's Turbo Encabulator by recalibrating the Reciprocating Dingle-Arm. There are further problems of a tentacular nature, and you are held personally responsible.

L25[22:36:08] <FLHerne> .mission add You have a problem, no one else can help, and you can find them... maybe you can hire the K-Team.

L26[22:36:08] <LunchBot> Added mission: You have a problem, no one else can help, and you can find them... maybe you can hire the K-Team.

L27[22:37:07] <FLHerne> after your recalibration the Dingle-Arm no longer prevents side-fumbling

L29[22:37:38] <FLHerne> everyone seems to assume that's just some mechanical problem, but actually it's by tentacles

L30[22:40:17] <Mat2ch> you should replace it with a pneumatic system.

L32[22:44:12] <packbart> FLHerne: is the mission missing some words? looks odd to my non-native eyes

L33[22:44:33] <packbart> hm

L34[22:44:43] <packbart> the A-quote seems to be "If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team."

L35[22:45:01] <packbart> I see now

L36[22:45:19] <packbart> there's no if's about it. just a bit but

L37[22:45:27] <packbart> *big

L38[22:49:13] <FLHerne> it seemed to me to fit better as a mission that way

L39[22:49:18] <FLHerne> I'm not sure though

L40[22:50:10] <FLHerne> I'll put the ifs back in, it'll be a better reference

L42[22:58:43] <raptop> !mission add In a woefull misunderstanding of engine performance, you electrocute some diamonds.

L43[22:58:44] <LunchBot> Added mission: In a woefull misunderstanding of engine performance, you electrocute some diamonds.

L44[22:59:39] <raptop> !mission fixul s/woefull/woeful/

L45[22:59:39] <LunchBot> No mission found matching "fixul s/woefull/woeful/".

L46[22:59:47] <raptop> !mission fixup s/woefull/woeful/

L47[22:59:48] <LunchBot> New text is: In a woeful misunderstanding of engine performance, you electrocute some diamonds.

L48[23:00:58] <FLHerne> .outcome add You are woefull, with two 'l's. That seems to express your feelings better.

L49[23:00:58] <LunchBot> Added outcome: You are woefull, with two 'l's. That seems to express your feelings better.

L50[23:01:41] <raptop> Joke I've heard elsewhere: English is an an ideographic language disguised as an alphabetic one

L51[23:02:30] <xxcoder> english follows other languages into dark alleys and beat over them and rifle pockets for grammar rules

L52[23:03:14] <raptop> Nah, just vocabulary. A lot of the grammar gets thrown in the alley's dumpster

L54[23:04:08] <raptop> AIUI this also leads to some extremely funny coincidences where English and Chinese grammar work the same

L55[23:04:26] <xxcoder> lol its a quote rap

L56[23:04:41] <Pinkbeast> I think the quote had, well, more coherent grammar

L57[23:04:46] <raptop> It's a quote that's adjacent to being accurate!

L58[23:05:47] <xxcoder> ;mission add You send spies to rifle trash bins of other space program buildings to have mission ideas.

L59[23:05:47] <LunchBot> Added mission: You send spies to rifle trash bins of other space program buildings to have mission ideas.

L60[23:05:54] <xxcoder> Pinkbeast: english is my second language

L61[23:06:27] <xxcoder> !mission fixup s/rifle/rifle though/

L62[23:06:27] <LunchBot> New text is: You send spies to rifle though trash bins of other space program buildings to have mission ideas.

L63[23:08:09] <raptop> !mission fixup s/rifle/riffle/

L64[23:08:10] <LunchBot> New text is: You send spies to riffle though trash bins of other space program buildings to have mission ideas.

L65[23:08:22] <raptop> (Please do not shoot the trash bins)

L66[23:08:24] <xxcoder> doh thanks

L67[23:08:47] <raptop> Also, I'm pretty sure I pronounce those two words the same way x_x

L68[23:09:10] <Pinkbeast> _though_ ?

L69[23:09:28] <xxcoder> fixup it if you want

L70[23:09:39] <Pinkbeast> (also "rifle" is correct here)

L71[23:10:03] <Pinkbeast> !mission fixup s/riffle though/rifle through/

L72[23:10:03] <LunchBot> New text is: You send spies to rifle through trash bins of other space program buildings to have mission ideas.

L73[23:10:19] <raptop> aaaaaaaaa

L74[23:10:33] <Pinkbeast> You riffle through a newspaper or a deck of cards, you rifle through the rubbish

L75[23:12:26] <raptop> . o O (riffling through a rifle's user manual)

L76[23:14:05] <xxcoder> "search through something in a hurried way in order to find or steal something."

L77[23:14:11] <Pinkbeast> "point the end with the hole in somewhere else, if it goes bang and you feel pain you have done this wrong"

L78[23:14:21] <xxcoder> so I remembered the verb usge correctly

L79[23:14:31] <raptop> Instructions unclear; shoulder bruised

L80[23:14:48] <xxcoder> "this end towards enemy"

L81[23:16:03] <Pinkbeast> Oh and there's some business about a magazine, you probably read the magazine after you do the bang bit

L82[23:16:57] <raptop> hah
