Much as I deeply appreciate the more consistent episode lengths this campaign, super-long episodes like last night’s are a great reminder of how funny it can be when everyone’s super exhausted but still super into the game.
Like, the mental picture of Caleb and Nott falling from the ceiling, ricocheting off a flaming blue dragon, and landing flat on their asses, only to see no allies, a four-foot-tall mage who probably died centuries ago, and an angry fire elemental, then being greeted by Caduceus stepping out of the wall and saying, deadpan, “We’re running. It’s bad.” sent the cast into uncontrollable giggles for like a minute straight.
on the subject of bots, runescape had literally the best way of dealing with their botting problem:
if an account was detected using bot software, they would be instantly teleported to a hearing from a witchfinder general style npc, where other players could watch and throw rotten tomatoes at them. then the audience could vote on how the person on trial would be killed as punishment, and THEN the botter was permanently banned afterwards. it was the funniest shit ever
tbt when they had no banning system so the gms just teleported hackers into The Void™ for eternal punishment
That was a whole other problem in itself, due to the whole “disc of returning” debacle.
Basically there was an item (disc of returning) that let regular players visit these “banned” players in the void. You could come and go freely and still talk to any banned people there. The only problem was that this item was totally tradeable/droppable, and people visiting were getting tricked by the banned players into giving the item up to them, or dropping it so it would despawn.
Basically people were pulling some body-snatcher shit, and banned players were taking the place of innocent players through the disc of returning to get back into the game, and leaving behind the innocent ones trapped in their place. Runescape was fucked up lmao
So on the subject of Merle’s garbage brain dredging up stolen century knowledge at random moments and just.. Shouting it out. I’ve just got to the part in the Eleventh Hour when he’s absolutely insistent he can cast a level 7 necromancy spell and the boys just fuckin, drag him. Because Merle Highchurch, beach dwarf and absentee dad, definitely cannot resurrect the dead. But to be fair, Merle Fuckin Highchurch, peacekeeper, IPRE member and dad to Barold J Bluejeans probably can.
