So Jick has confirmed that the next step for the Plinth hasn't been implemented yet. But Riff has said that there is a puzzle that hasn't been solved yet and that the one person who would first answer it would get something and affect other players too. He did not say what that was, but that everything we had tried with the Plinth had been useless. What the hell could it be?

Ok, dumbass question, but is there any reason why IE should be NOT showing all of the info when I click on an item? It seems to cut off before the last line, and there's no scrollbar. (I could just switch to Firefox, but FF seems to have a few issues of its own.)

Braincloud posted:Wee! Just got the Order of the Silver Wossname after completing the Mysterious Island quest. That was a nice burn of a few days' turns. I think I screwed up my chances of getting that. I should have killed one on either side before doing any sidequests, so I'd have an odd number by the end, but I didn't think of that so I did one sidequest on either side first. Anyone know if there's any chance of salvaging it? I've had a lot of luck with the hero drops at least, even the orange peel hat.

After you do a sidequest, you will only get even kills, so there is no way to get that last odd kill.

My guess is that it has something to do with the probably not-fully-implemented Canonball Charrrm. Jick said something the other day about how if no one still knew what it did that it probably wasn't working for some reason.

Some people are talking about possible clearing the F'cl of pirates to unlock a special adventure. You can already get rid of Clingy and Chatty pirates in a special way, so we'd have to find how to make the other ones stop showing up.

I think I read something on the forums about how Jick said you can't clear the crusty pirate because he couldn't think of a way to do it that would be funny, so I'm guessing that idea is wrong. Honestly, this has reached the point where for me this puzzle has ceased to be fun or challenging and reached well into the realm of being annoying at best. We've reached the point where there have to have been thousands of hours of work poured into solving this by people, and we're no closer to solving it than we were at the beginning. It's looking like this isn't going to be solved through brainpower as much as it is through pure freak chance of somebody, somewhere doing something they didn't mean to do and unlocking something.

OK now this is really weird: I have a greasemonkey script to count the number of kills on either side of the hippie/frat war. I kind of accidentally just killed everyone on both sides, even though it says I only killed 194 frats and 164 hippies. This is after doing only one quest for each side, so I killed two guys each time.

There's no need to spoiler KoL content in this thread. The Hidden Temple may be nice for stats, but you get nothing else there. Meat, items, and quest completion are kind of important! Maybe I don't realize how easily abused it is, either.

The Midniter posted:From those who've done HCO runs with a green pixie before, what are the chances a Feast of Boris monster will mess up my not-a-pipe acquisition? The wiki says there's a 1 in 30 chance of a FoB encounter taking place so it's not massively huge. I missed out on 1 out of 4 !pipe acquisitions today, which is irritating but not that bad.

Unless I'm wrong, FoB encounters actually happen on a timer basis. You encounter one, then there's something like 30 turns of normality, then after the time finishes then the FoB monsters get inserted back into the list of possible encounters only their likelihood is boosted or something.

Today a feast of boris adventure overrode my semi-rare. It was literally my first adventure in the chasm and it would have saved me from doing most of the entire chasm quest. But no, a stuffing golem had to rear its ugly head right there.

I'll probably end up posting this in the Let's Play Sandcastle thread, but I figured I'd check with fellow Loathers first. I, along with fellow goon, Minion123, was thinking of possibly doing a Let's Play of KoL. Naturally, it would be a new character and would probably want to join the Goon Clan when able, but right now, I'm just placing a couple of feelers out there and see whether this idea would be embraced by the Loathing crowd or whether it should just die a quick painless death in the Sneaky Back Alley... The basic premise would be that the character would be a new arrival to the Kingdom and would be looking for a job. Unfortunately, everything is controlled by the Council and will turn to Adventuring to survive and grow... There will be much Goon-involvement in the character's name, as well as the Familiar names and general activities of the character: What trophies if any it should go for, and how to battle Bosses (beat them using only ranged weapons as a Clubber for example) as well as Class and Gender and the like. So, yeah, just a couple of feelers out there to see if there would be an interest in this type of thing or not.

Well I'd definitely be interested but I'm also curious to how you'ld handle the roleplaying aspect, since a good portion of the adventures force your character into completely arbitrary and often contradictory decisions that would make it hard to maintain consistency. That said, if you think you can make it happen I'm all for it, and anything that attracts new members to the clan and the game as a whole.

KoL is not a game that should be Let's played. It can easily be played by anyone with no technical limitations, it's free and best enjoyed when you can discover things on your own. You should dedicate your energy to something more fun, like an obscure game.

While a KoL LP isn't the worst idea ever, you'd need to be as slick as oil to pull it off rightly. I agree with Tripwood. Do a Darklands LP or something. Everyone needs to hear about / fanatically revere Darklands like I do.

quote:KoL is not a game that should be Let's played. quote:While a KoL LP isn't the worst idea ever... Well, it seems like it was good that I checked here first. It was just an idea that we had and thought would be something different, but since there seems to be a fair bit of, shall we say, ire towards the idea, it might not be the best plan to go ahead with it. All in all, it was good to at least hear some opinions on it. I knew it was probably going to be really weird to plot out and plan, but I thought the end result might have been interesting enough to warrant a thread. It isn't and that's clearer now. Thanks.

Well, cranberries did gently caress-all today. As usual, Jick was probably too baked to set the flag. I, too, don't see how the hidden temple can be abused? You wanna 'splain that some more, mix.lunar?

I decided not to ascend my softcore alt until my main ascends for the 2nd time, and I've now played 1k more adventures on the alt than on my main, in 2/3 the time.  I've also spent twice as much time on my main's first hardcore run than the first run, and I'm only on the MacGuffin quest. Man I suck at hardcore. I don't know what I was thinking choosing DB instead of Pastamancer for my first hardcore run. Anyway, does clingfilm ever get sold in the mall, and if so for how much? It's going to take a crazy number of adventures to farm enough for the outfit, but I got nothin' better to do.

What is the droprate for clingfilm. Right after the end of Crimbo I spent a bit of time trying to farm some clingfilm and had no luck. In about 80 adventures I didn't get a single one to drop. I think I killed about a dozen clingy pirates as well. I am hoping that when I get the tracking tome in a couple days it will make the farming easier.
