<bigryan> babe
<Hero6_Babe> Wizard's Motto: If someone challenges you on a point, remember two things. First, They may actually be correct, and second, they must be punished for their arrogance
* WuPhu gets a whiff of his craziness. Crazy!
<bigryan> babe
<Hero6_Babe> Go, Hero 6 Team, Go!

<bigryan> hey you live in florida just like erasmus big jay.
<bigJay> holy crab sandwiches
<Paladin0707077> So, is there any room in any of the departments for hiring?
<Paladin0707077> Cool. I live in Georgia to thine north.
<Khaveen> babe
<Hero6_Babe> A guy I used to know used to hit on me all the time. He lived with his mom and he was 36! I think his name was Larry. What a complete loser!
<bigJay> i think they need someone to wash the booty shorts
<Erasmus> Yes, all sections except for music have opening. However, in each case you'll have to submit work for review. We need experienced members
<Pwincess> lol, I love that last hero6_babe comment
<Hero6_Babe> Sideffects may include drymouth, nausea, water retention, painful rectalage, halluncinations, psychosis, death, and halitosis. Magic is not for everyone. Consult your doctor before use.*
<bigryan> big jay you've got a new comic almost every day.  good job.
<Pwincess> awwwwwww
<Pyro> how is the 3d intro movie going?
<Erasmus> well, you missed Bromios, he was here earlier
<bigJay> yes good jaerb to me
<Paladin0707077> babe
<Hero6_Babe> Oh don't worry, that Saurus won't bite: he's from Shapier!
<bigJay> that's from warcraft 3
<bigJay>
<Pwincess> one question for everybody... who's wanting for the release of hero6?
<Pwincess> *grin*
<Paladin0707077> Me.
<bigJay> I IS
<Rosella> I don't have a clue what it is
<Erasmus> He was working on a 3D intro, but I'm not sure how far along it is. If he can finish it, it will be in the game, otherwise we'll have to do without it
<Pwincess> gosh!
<Rosella> (I know, you're going to shun  me now)
<Erasmus> So, how did you hear about us Rosella
<Erasmus> no, I'm just curious as to how you know us
<bigJay> every day that hero6 isn't released, i kidnap a child and strangle it
<Paladin0707077> Not really, we don't do that.
<Pwincess> from the kq9 forums
<Erasmus> Ah
<Paladin0707077> How'd I guess...?
<Pyro> oh what happend to the Colt_centaur wasn't he originally working on it
<Erasmus> And you don't know Hero6? We're the best game development group in the world
<Pwincess> Rosella is a very active member there
<Paladin0707077> So...will there be any more work releases before the final product?
<Pwincess> the foundation of all fan games ;-)
<Rosella> Ok, now I want to know who you are?
<Rosella> *.
<Pwincess> me or hero6?
<Rosella> you
<Erasmus> We're the first fangame I think. We predate any other group I can think of
<Pwincess> I've posted a few times at kq9, mainly in the polls section
<Erasmus> oh, you meant her
<Pwincess> I mainly work in the pr department at hero6
<Erasmus> Yes, Pwincess works PR internally, and is pretty active in the visitor forums, tending to visitor needs
<Rosella> cool
<Erasmus> Ok, to answer your question Pally
<Pwincess> 'nearly' all their needs
<Rosella> lol
<Erasmus> There probably will be something. However, to make a playable demo takes programming time away from the programmers who could be working on a finished game
<Rosella> That
<Rosella> is what the KQ9 peoples say!
<Rosella>
<Erasmus> So until they have more free time, they have to devote all their time to the finished product
<Paladin0707077> OK.
<bigJay> QUESTION: what ways do you plan to offer for ppl to obtain their copy of hero6 !!
<Pwincess> that way the game is released 6 months earlier
<Pwincess> I assume that people will be able to download the game from www.hero6.com
<daemious> BitTorrent sounds good
<Erasmus> Thats an issue that we've discussed quite a bit
<Erasmus> BitTorrent definately looks best at the moment
<bigJay> bittorrents are delicious
<Erasmus> We've also discussed hosting on several sites
<Paladin0707077> What about those at college behind firewalls?
<Paladin0707077> Ah.
<Erasmus> to cater to people who don't know how or can't use bittorrent
<bigryan> evander can bust some moves...
<bigJay> you could use fileplanet
<bigJay> ez-breezy
<Paladin0707077> True.
<bigJay> fo' cheesy
<Erasmus> Most college's actually don't ban bittorrent, they just monitor your upload and download speeds
<daemious> I'm sure we could also submit to download.com or the like
<Erasmus> or block the porsts I should say
<Erasmus> We plan on releasing via several methods, is the best answer
<Paladin0707077> Cool.
<Erasmus> what next?
<Paladin0707077> Um...
<Rosella> What's a general overview of the game for a newbie like me that's simply lurking and has never heard of this before?
<Erasmus> hehe
<Paladin0707077> Oh, cool...a spider's on my arm.
<Erasmus> daems, can you answer, or do you want me to?
<Erasmus> lol\
<daemious> i think you're best for that one
<daemious>
<Paladin0707077> Joy...they're passing it back and forth...
<Rosella> lol
<Rosella> Or do you just wanna say forget the n00bs and make me look for the answer?
<bigJay> ANSWER: IT'S LIKE *** BUT BETTER
<Paladin0707077> LOL
<Paladin0707077> True.
<Erasmus> lol
<bigJay> xD
<Erasmus> ok I'll answer
<Rosella> o_O
<Paladin0707077> Better then King's Quest.
<Pwincess> like KQ, only with more action
* Rosella hisses at Paladin
<Paladin0707077>
<Erasmus> I'll try to explain
<Erasmus> You have played QfG right
<Rosella> just the first
<Erasmus> Ok
<Khaveen> babe?
<Hero6_Babe> Did you hear about the undead construction worker? He built the Vampire State Building!
<Erasmus> well, they are all similar
<Paladin0707077> That's good enough. You're in.
<bigJay> xD
<Erasmus> lol
<Rosella> lol
<Paladin0707077> lol
<Erasmus> Hero6 is based on QfG style gaming
<Rosella> cool
<Erasmus> The atmosphere of the game is influenced by celtic mythology
<Paladin0707077> So what do you get when a dragon falls on a dwarf? A flat miner.
<Rosella> ooh
<bigJay> xD
<Erasmus> each QfG game had a different location and atmosphere
<Pwincess> ouch
<Paladin0707077> lol
<Rosella> Well I'll play the ADGI remake of the 2nd once it comes out
<Erasmus> whether it was african, german, greek, or arabian
<Erasmus> Hero6 is longer than QfG 1
<Erasmus> better graphics
<Erasmus> I can't reveal the plot, but the style follows qfg
<Pwincess> with an awesome soundtrack
<Erasmus> more realistic than KQ in plot
<Erasmus> Yes, a very very awesome soundtrack
<Pwincess> he he he
<Rosella> *AGDI
<Erasmus> QfG strayed from KQ in that it was not based on fairy tale, and followed a more realistic style
<Erasmus> Even if it did have demons and magic users
<Erasmus> also, the games were sometimes quite dark
<Erasmus> QfG 1 not so much, but the rest were
<Pwincess> qfg4 was absolutely amazing
<Pwincess> I highly recommend purchasing a copy from ebay
<Erasmus> as would I
<Erasmus> shadows of darkness is a classic
<Pwincess> I have to taddle and head to work
<Pwincess> have fun guys and girls!
<Erasmus> ok Pwincess, thanks for stopping
<Erasmus> by
<Pwincess> no problem
<Pwincess> bye!
<bigryan> hausta la vista
<Erasmus> next question?
<bigryan> ya this game is gonna be freaking awesome
<bigryan> like the biggest freakinest awesomest gamest
<Rosella> I've already decided what MY take on the awesomest game will be
<Rosella> But I'm sure yours will be uber awesome too.
<Erasmus> and that would be...?
<Rosella> KQ9
<Rosella> <- SLIGHTLY obsessed
<Erasmus> you alright br, you seem like you.... lost your mind, lol
<Erasmus> hehe
<Erasmus> thats ok. You just haven't played QfG yet
<Erasmus> you have yet to see the light
<Paladin0707077> Yes...try it...join us...don't be afraid...
<Rosella> I LIKE KQ!
<Erasmus> Nobody is dissing it
<Erasmus> KQ was an amazing series
<Erasmus> Loved it
<Rosella> AND I like QfG...1...
<Erasmus> QfG is just better
<Rosella> hehe
<Paladin0707077> Join the QFG fanatics...it is your destiny!
<Erasmus> 1 was ok, but 2 and 4 are treasures
<Paladin0707077> Yeah.
<Rosella> I'm not a big fan of the fighting -ness
<Paladin0707077> It changes as the games go on.
<Rosella> But it's still an awesome series
<Paladin0707077> The fighting style, I mean.
<Erasmus> you hardly fight anything in 2
<Rosella> and a game in the same style with such a huge fanbase must be awesome
<Paladin0707077> Well, only if you want, we should say.
<Erasmus> So, next question
<Paladin0707077> What does God need with a starship?
<Erasmus> 42. next question
<bigJay> xD
<Rosella> LOL
<Paladin0707077> Ham.
<Paladin0707077> lol
<bigJay> Q: estimated release date time yet?
<Paladin0707077> Anything being done on Hero7 yet?
<Paladin0707077> His first -^-
<bigJay> -^-
<Erasmus> It will be releaseed when it is done and we are happy with it
<bigJay> yay
<Erasmus> if you want something more concrete...
<bigJay> happiness
<bigJay> i didnt expect anything =p
<Paladin0707077> Next year?
<Erasmus> It could be finished in as little as 3 months if we had a period of hard work. However, that isn't going to happen, so it will take significantly longer than that. Real life pulls away from our members ability to put in work
<Paladin0707077> OK.
<Erasmus> I'm hoping by the end of this year, but who knows. It all depends on how things go with our real lives
<bigJay> OK now answer about hero7 o_o
<bigryan> I am happy to announce that it will be released tomorrow.
<Rosella> (A life? Cool! Where can I download one of those?)
<bigryan> wait did i say tomorrow.  i meant I don't know.
<Paladin0707077> Come over to my house. They're on sale.
<Paladin0707077> lol
<bigryan> hero7 hasn'
<bigryan> t even started yet.
<Erasmus> Some VERY basic plot has been done for hero7, but it is up in the air. It might be thrown out
<bigryan> although it has been talked about for the last four years.
<Erasmus> and we have some music and art that may or may not be used
<Paladin0707077> What I thought. Just checking.
<Erasmus> Anything for hero7 that we have, however, is pretty much things that we couldn't fit in hero6 or wouldn't work. We don't have the time to work on 2 projects simultaniously
<Paladin0707077> Good.
<Paladin0707077> If you were, we'd 've had to tell you to stop.
<bigJay> It's like a threesome with two fat chicks -- it just won't work.
<Erasmus> omg. WuPhu....
<bigJay> xD
<Erasmus> don't make me silence yu
<Paladin0707077> Hey! What's wrong with fat chicks?
<bigryan> ooo make him silence you
<Erasmus> Next question?
<bigryan> then I'll make a song about how I miss my new brother, big Jay
<Erasmus> lol
<Paladin0707077> lol
<Erasmus> He has a capital J, is he your big brother?
<bigJay> YES
<bigJay> i call him "lil ryan"
<bigryan> he is my big brother.
<Paladin0707077> Big brother is watching.
<Erasmus> "lil brudder"
<Erasmus> Yes he is!!!! MWAHAHAHAHA
<Paladin0707077> lol
<Rosella> o_O
<Erasmus> Do you have any questions Rosella?
<Rosella> Why are you so scary...
<Erasmus> Me?!
<Erasmus> I'm not scary
<Rosella> you as a collective group
<bigJay> yes you are
<bigJay> this is Scary6
* bigryan is now known as lilryan
<bigJay> Rite of Fright
<Rosella> pretty much excluding you Erasmus
<Erasmus> lol
<Erasmus> lr
<Erasmus> Perhaps I should explain who the members are here
<bigJay> NOT ME! XD
<Rosella> lol
<lilryan> yes but you were a member
<Paladin0707077> Not me.
<Erasmus> Myself, Coco, daemious, and bigryan (now lilryan- but he seems to be off his rocker at the moment)
<lilryan> yes but you are spoofing another members name
<Rosella> lol
<Erasmus> The visitors... you'll have to ask them why they are nuts
<bigJay> it helps me get off the hook with stuff
<Erasmus> WuPhu (bigJay now) used to be a member, but he's kinda crazy and isn't one anymore
<bigJay> xD
<Rosella> I'm nuts. I just don't show it around people I don't know very well
<Erasmus> good ole WuPhu
<Rosella> (well, not TOO much anyways)
<Paladin0707077> Although I've been mistaken for one several times...
<Erasmus> lol
<Erasmus> lol
<lilryan> are you just as nuts in rl big jay?
<bigJay> yeah things kinda went downhill after i drilled holes in my spine for a science project
<bigJay> uh probably not
<Rosella> .....
<bigJay> im just quiet
<bigJay> so quiet
<bigJay> ...
<Erasmus> Yes, we have a member named Paladin, or Paladin Valiant. We thought this pally was him for a hile
<Erasmus> while
<Paladin0707077> No, not that.
<Erasmus> but he's a fake
<Erasmus> lol
<bigJay> Faker!
<Paladin0707077> I've actually been contacted on AIM by people thinking I was.

<Rosella> What is the best area of the game
<Rosella> graphics, sound
<Rosella> that kind of stuff
<Erasmus> tough question
<Paladin0707077> Development-wise, she means.
<Rosella> yeah
<lordOfTheDanceFloor> Yes, I'll say graphics and sound...
<Erasmus> I think the music is outstanding, an dI might have to go with that
<bigJay> "whatever department im a part of"
<bigJay> xD
<Rosella> lol
<Paladin0707077> lol
<Paladin0707077> Saw that coming a mile a way...
<Erasmus> I'm proud of my plot, but I think Brassy did a great job with music
<bigJay> KINDA LATE BUDDY

<Paladin0707077> JUST A TAD...
<Rosella> lol
<Paladin0707077> Hey, Olorin.
* lordOfTheDanceFloor is now known as babe
<bigJay> babe
<Hero6_Babe> Adventuring is awesome! Slaying monsters, collecting treasures, being famous, what's not to like?
<Erasmus> I think the game, all of it, is impressive. OF all the things, however, music is probably best
<Erasmus> ok, time to control the bot
<babe> nope art is best...
<Paladin0707077> babe
<Hero6_Babe> Look behind you! A Three Headed Monkey!

<Paladin0707077> lol
<Erasmus> lol
<bigRyan> sweet
<Erasmus> I'm a hero
<bigRyan> I did it?
<bigJay> **** my crotch won't stop itching
<Erasmus> so, next question?
<bigRyan> I destroyed it
<bigRyan> ?
<Paladin0707077> Thank you so much for sharing.
<Erasmus> I don't think it is destroyed, everything seems quite alright
<Paladin0707077> I'm sure Rosella appreciates it.
<bigRyan> I'm sorry, I've been smoking too much.
<Erasmus> oooh, thats the reason
<bigJay> Q: what's the word on minigames!!
<Paladin0707077> "Only you can prevent forest fires"...
<Erasmus> you didn't got make soup did you?
<Rosella> Yes, very....
<Rosella> being 12 and all...
<Erasmus> Minigames
<Erasmus> lets see
<Erasmus> there will be a few
<bigRyan> well it started around 4:20
<bigRyan> and it just kept going on
<Erasmus> you were fine at 4:20, lol
<bigRyan> and on and on
<Olorin> I have a question: I know imports from QfG will not be supported, but will hero6 contain the option to export your character for use in a (possible) future game, aka hero7?
<bigRyan> there aren't any minigames yet afaik
<Erasmus> Yes there are br
<bigRyan> oh ****e, you're right'
<Erasmus> I don't want to name specifics, but yes
<bigRyan> ya, I can think of about 3 right now.
<Paladin0707077> Ruin the fun if you did...
<Erasmus> There should be an opportunity to export. We haven't implimented it yet, but it is something we definately plan on doing
<Paladin0707077> Goody!
<Olorin> Thank you.
<Paladin0707077> The tradition stays alive!
<Erasmus> and there are more minigames in development too
<bigJay> i like the "load game" minigame, but the "save game" minigame has its merits!
<Erasmus> Apparently that was his only question...
<Paladin0707077> Yeah...wow...
<Erasmus> and apparently pyro too
<Erasmus> ok, what else?
<Rosella> lol
<Paladin0707077> 'twould seem that people are abandoning the chat room left and right...

<Erasmus> Thats overall
<Erasmus> there you are
<SorceressSwift> Finally
<Lazygamer> 70% that's pretty promising for overall progress, good job.
<Rosella> Ack Swift (aka, hiya)
<Lazygamer> of course it took 5 years lol
<bigJay> im only 8 3/4 please do not say anything that could upset me or i will inform the justice department.
<Erasmus> oii
<Paladin0707077> Oh nos!
<Paladin0707077> Hey Swift.
<SorceressSwift> hi Rosella. Where's Jafar?
<Paladin0707077> Got my stuff done.
<Paladin0707077> He's not here.
<Rosella> Je ne sais pas.
<bigJay> hey there's a question, are there any plans to translate the game into different languages?
<Rosella> He was on earlier and then he started acting not like himself and logged off
<bigJay> peep ima draw
<Erasmus> no, we have none. however, if after it is done we have someone who can translate, it might be possible
<Rosella> (KQ9 has plenty of people that are going to translate...)
<Rosella> *cough*
<Lazygamer> Question: How much artwork, writing, and plot has been kept from the first two years of hero6's life?
<Paladin0707077> Would THEY be willing to help?
<Rosella> Je ne sais pas (again)
<Paladin0707077> 'cause all I know is English, I'm afraid.
<Paladin0707077> non.
<Erasmus> there wasn't much writing the first couple years
<Erasmus> there was plot
<Erasmus> most of the plot has been reworked
<Paladin0707077> I'm going to grab food. I be back.
<Erasmus> art, I don't know
<Erasmus> you'd have to ask someone from art, and they aren't here
<bigRyan> im here.  I just got back from a ahhhh, well yaknow
<Rosella> my neck hurts...
<bigJay> QUESTION: are there any truth to the rumors that the game's name will be changed to Scary6: Rite of Fright?
<Rosella> I'm sick of playing messenger for my friend!
<Rosella> zzzzzzzz
<Erasmus> Rosella- we haven't really put much time into worrying about translation
<Erasmus> if after everything is said and done, there is an opportunity, we'll take it. However, right now it's hard enough to write original dialogues, let alone creating decent translations
<Rosella> Considering I only know English. I'm ok with that
<Erasmus> we have members from all over the world, however, so it might happen in the end
<Lazygamer> thanks for the answers, well dinner is on so I must go. Maybe I'll stop by after dinner
<Erasmus> ok, what else do you need to know?
<Erasmus> or want to know
<Rosella> What's you middle name?
<Rosella> *your
<Rosella>
<Erasmus> Ryan
<Erasmus> I haven't said that in years...
<Rosella> lol
<Rosella> I didn't actually mean that. But it proves you're more open than LN
<Erasmus> LN?
<Erasmus> Hey, you guys could ask whatever
<Rosella> Louisiana Night, Daniel
<Rosella> pick a name
<Erasmus> ah
<Erasmus> got it
<Rosella> lol
<Rosella> And what exactly do YOU call him?
<Rosella> for the sake of communication
<Erasmus> Personally I don't know him
<Erasmus> so LN works
<SorceressSwift> I call him LN as well
<Rosella> (EEK! Who is this person that randomly entered?)
<SorceressSwift> much simpler that way
<bigRyan> your middle name is ryan?
<bigRyan> I will call you middleRyan
<Erasmus> yeah, lol. Though I tend to forget that
<Erasmus> I've never been keen on my middle name. Not that I don't like it, I just never go by it
<Rosella> You forget you're middle name?
<bigRyan> it is a good name
<Rosella> I like my middle name. At times I've given it to my new teachers to confuse them
<bigRyan> I never use my middle name
<Erasmus> I don't forget it outright, I just forget to associate Ryan with my name
* Erasmus sets mode: +v Relight
<Rosella> (Well, me mostly...)
<SorceressSwift> hi relight
<Relight> hey peopl
<Relight> e
<Erasmus> when I see Ryan, I don't think "Hey, thats my name!"
<Erasmus> hello
<bigRyan> hi I am your name
<Rosella> When I see Erin, I think "Huh, what?"
<Erasmus> hello middlename
<Erasmus> ok, anything more? I probably should be leaving soon, but I don't want to leave any questions unanswered
* bigRyan is now known as erin_
<erin_> huh what?
<Erasmus> heh
<Relight> i have a question
<Relight> are you going to post a transcript?
<erin_> I gotta go too.  Its been a squeeze everyone
<Erasmus> Yes
<Erasmus> Seeya BR
<erin_> bye
<Rosella> o_O
<Erasmus> Good luck with the munchies
<Relight> cool. coulnd't make it
<erin_> yeah, I'm getting some kfc
<Rosella> GET AWAY FROM MY NAME
<Rosella> oh
<Rosella> he'
<Rosella> is gone
<SorceressSwift> yes, the transcript will be posted
<SorceressSwift> i myself would see what went on in the last few hours
<Rosella> No one said anything, So I talked and got them sick of me before I even signed up
<SorceressSwift> ?
<Erasmus> no
<Erasmus> nobody got sick of you
<Rosella> That's not the point
<Rosella>
<SorceressSwift> we would love you to join our forums. jafar's been so fond of spending time with you there
<Rosella> Hey!
<Rosella> Humph
<SorceressSwift>
<Rosella> You're even more pleasant to talk to in chats
<Erasmus>
<SorceressSwift> that's cute...
<Rosella> Just be glad I have no friends (besides the one I'm talking to on the phone)
<Rosella> Because otherwise when I stumbled upon the Hero6 thread I might not've come
<Erasmus> oii
<SorceressSwift> I thought you have lots of friends from kq9 forums?
<Rosella> I do but none of them are online.
<Rosella> Besides
<Rosella> I'm talking about things like parites and stuff
<Paladin0707077> Like anyone here has those...
<Rosella> things that would make me busy and not able to attend this fine chat
<Rosella> *parties
<SorceressSwift> well, you'll have plenty of that as you get older.
<Paladin0707077> Maybe YOU do...
<Paladin0707077> lol
<Rosella> I WANT to join but I happen to be mortally afraid of the infamous Corsair
<Paladin0707077> LOL
<Paladin0707077> Boy, wouldn't he have loved to hear that...
<SorceressSwift> don't be. he's nothing to be afraid of
<SorceressSwift> I'll protect you
<Rosella> lol
<Paladin0707077> Yeah. Swift manages to keep him on a leesh.
<Paladin0707077> A short one, at that.
<Rosella> heh
<Rosella> Never doubt the power of a mod
<Paladin0707077> ;(
<Rosella> o_O
<Paladin0707077> :thumbup:
<Paladin0707077> Especially when she seems to enjoy turning people into sheep...
<Paladin0707077> ??
* SorceressSwift blushes
<Paladin0707077> Where'd those come from??
* Erasmus sets mode: -m
<Rosella> And THIS is how Swift got herself into the KQIX asylum
<Paladin0707077> Weird.
<Paladin0707077> lol
* Rosella pokes Swift
<Erasmus> ok, I gtg
<Erasmus> any last questions?
<Paladin0707077> Yeah. When
<Paladin0707077> 's the next session?
<SorceressSwift> hey, would you not mention that in front of my collegues? I'd prefer they not know that I have "issues"
<SorceressSwift> XP
<Paladin0707077> lol
<Paladin0707077>
<SorceressSwift> the next session started an hour ago
<Erasmus> You'll have to bring that up with Swift, she's the head of that
<Paladin0707077> LOL
<Erasmus> 1.75 hours ago
<Rosella> EVERYONE has issues if they visit the KQIX forums. By posting you get into the Asylum
<Erasmus> ok, I gtg. Swift may be able to answer some of you questions if you think of any. Or daems might be around
<SorceressSwift> k, bye Erasmus
<Erasmus> otherwise, anyone feel free to email me Erasmus@hero6.com
<SorceressSwift> Thanks for coming
<Paladin0707077> Bye. See ya around.
<Erasmus> Glad you all could make it
<Paladin0707077> Yeah, it was fun.
<Erasmus> Have a good day/night/afternoon- wherever you are
<Rosella> au revoir
<Rosella> (EST makes EVERYTHING easier)
<Erasmus> Thanks for coming Rosella, hopefully we'll see you around more
<Rosella> hehe
<Erasmus> bye
<Rosella> bye
<Paladin0707077> Morning/noon/twilight/midnight...
<SorceressSwift> you hear that, Rosella?
<Paladin0707077> bye
<SorceressSwift> *hint hint*
<Paladin0707077> *wink wink*
<Rosella> What the heck?
<Rosella> Weirdo
<Rosella> s
<SorceressSwift> I wonder what Hero6 Babe will say
<Hero6_Babe> The next statement is true. The previous statement is false.
<Paladin0707077> That.
<Rosella> lol
<SorceressSwift> so, what do you think of Hero6 babe now that she has new lines?
<Hero6_Babe> Sideffects may include drymouth, nausea, water retention, painful rectalage, halluncinations, psychosis, death, and halitosis. Magic is not for everyone. Consult your doctor before use.*
<Paladin0707077> She's cool.
<Rosella> Geez. I'm 12, why does everyone (Swift) think everyone's flirting with me!?
<Paladin0707077> Because they don't know you're 12 until you tell them, so they do?
<Rosella> o_O
<SorceressSwift> honey, i don't think that at all! i know that you and jafar are an item, that's what i know.
<Paladin0707077> AhHA! The truth emerges at last!!
* Rosella refrains from thwacking Swift
* SorceressSwift smiles widely
<Paladin0707077> Oh well. I suppose the best person for a Princess to go with would be a Paladin...
<SorceressSwift> good point
<Paladin0707077> Even if he is a giant walking marshmellow...
<Paladin0707077> lol
<Rosella> Not understanding that, I have no comment
<SorceressSwift> So, Paladin0707077, nice to see that you finally made it to a char session
<Rosella> I tried to hook him up with a blue peep once.
<Paladin0707077> Yeah, I know.
<Rosella> But he said peeps weren't his type.
<Paladin0707077> I tried.
<SorceressSwift> lol
<Rosella> lol
<SorceressSwift> peeps weren't his type. good one
<Paladin0707077> I'm a lazy bumb. That's why I never tried applying for the team: 'cause I'd never turn in anything.
<Paladin0707077> lol
<SorceressSwift> paladin, congrats for winning the competition, by the way
<Paladin0707077> Ah, thanks.
<Paladin0707077> You know...I actually hadn't thought about the award at all when I was posting. I just wanted new lines.
<Paladin0707077> babe
<Hero6_Babe> Oh don't worry, that Saurus won't bite: he's from Shapier!
<Rosella> what competition?
<SorceressSwift> i know, neither did i when i first announce the competition
<SorceressSwift> this is why you should hang out in the forums!
<SorceressSwift> http://visitors.hero6.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=500
<SorceressSwift> the results are here http://visitors.hero6.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=512
<Paladin0707077> Oh don't give her a link!
<Rosella> I came here to check out the people so I'd know what I was getting myself into
<SorceressSwift> why not?
<Paladin0707077> Let her root around for it herself! Then she'll find other stuff she likes, and...
* SorceressSwift laughs nervously
<Paladin0707077> lol
<SorceressSwift> but we're harmless people!
<bigJay> peep im not paying attention, have a fune enjoy
<Paladin0707077> Bye.
<Rosella> Harmless people that happen to turn people into sheep
* SorceressSwift makes sure that the whip stays perfectly hidden from view
<Paladin0707077> ...with swords...and dragons...
* SorceressSwift nods
<SorceressSwift> harmless people
<SorceressSwift> see? what did i tell you?
<Paladin0707077> ...compared to KQIX people.
* SorceressSwift nods vigorously
<Rosella> Nah
<SorceressSwift> I still can't believe that Corsair still wants to be an Ah Beng
<Rosella> The KQIX people are insane
<Rosella> They don't bite
<Rosella> ...much
<Paladin0707077> Yeah...guess he likes it.
<SorceressSwift> but i don't bite at all (unless you're food)
<Paladin0707077> We don't bite at all.
<Rosella> Well there is homestar runner with his stab smilies
<SorceressSwift> (or a special ninja)
<Paladin0707077> We have swords and magic for that. We're civilized that way.
<SorceressSwift> agreed
<SorceressSwift> listen to the paladin. he speaks words of wisdom
<Rosella> um
<Rosella> yo dude
<Paladin0707077> yeeeees...?
<Rosella> just yo

[Swift]

<Rosella>
<Paladin0707077> Ah.
<Paladin0707077> Fun.
<Rosella>
<SorceressSwift> so what do you think of the anniversary treats i released earlier?
<Rosella> I love this big grin smilie
<Paladin0707077>
<Rosella> I miss it from when I was active at the actual sierra forums
<Paladin0707077> Oh they're awesome!
<Paladin0707077> Thanks, Auntie Swift!
<SorceressSwift> the wallpapers, the emoticons, the article, the contest, and this chat - which do you like most
<SorceressSwift> auntie swift....
<Paladin0707077> Oh, you're making me DECIDE between them?!
<Paladin0707077> Yeah, I miss watching the Sierra Forums.
<SorceressSwift> over here, the word 'auntie' is used when you want to show respect for your senior
<Rosella> um
<Rosella> right
<SorceressSwift> seriously!
<Paladin0707077> What? You're my senior in the forums, as mod and FA.
<SorceressSwift> i've been called an auntie by kids i hardly ever know
<Paladin0707077> So, for me, it fits.
<Rosella> lol
<Paladin0707077> lol
* Rosella assumes that's where Jafar got the idea that people were calling Cat, Auntie Cat
<SorceressSwift> lol
<Paladin0707077> lol
<SorceressSwift> so, do you guys have any more questions about hero6?
<Paladin0707077> Rosella...?
<SorceressSwift> paladin, you can ask as well
<Paladin0707077> Mine were answered in the 4 o'clock session.
<Rosella> Yeah, everyone just look at me
<SorceressSwift> ah ok
<Paladin0707077> O_O
<SorceressSwift> what did you ask?
<Rosella> And I just appeared here
<Paladin0707077> About realese.
<SorceressSwift> hi
<Paladin0707077> And about potential demos.
<Paladin0707077> Hey, stranger.
<Paladin0707077> And about department openings.
<Lazygamer> back again
<SorceressSwift> hi lazygamer
<Paladin0707077> Hey.
<Lazygamer> hi
<SorceressSwift> sorry i couldn't be here earlier. 4pm EST is 5am GMT +8
<Rosella> wb
<SorceressSwift> if i didn't have school today (curse special term!), i would have tried not sleeping
<Paladin0707077> But yeah, people asked other questions, about the art and music and plot and such, and they were answered.
<SorceressSwift> so, lazygamer, do you have any questions about hero6, or are they all answered?
<Paladin0707077> Ah.
<Lazygamer> let me think about that
<SorceressSwift> k
<SorceressSwift> the rest of you, what do you think of the team? especially uncle erasmus
<Paladin0707077> I can't take it anymore...my mom's soaps have been going on behind me since I got here...
<SorceressSwift> (psst.. don't tell him that i called him 'uncle' )
<Rosella> I have a question for you Swift. Why do you keep alluding to me and Jafar going out? It's annoying enough having people bother me about liking my friend Michael at school.
<Paladin0707077> I have to leave...before I go completely insane!!
<Rosella> I have no sanity left
<SorceressSwift> oh, i can't help it. i find young love very sweet
<Paladin0707077> Same here.
<Paladin0707077> I gotta go, though.
<SorceressSwift> k, bye paladin
<Paladin0707077> Bye.
<SorceressSwift> thanks for coming
<Rosella> see ya
<Lazygamer> bye
<Rosella> So.....tired.......
<SorceressSwift> lazy, what do you think of the anniversary treats?
<Rosella> need sleep......
<Lazygamer> anniversary treats let me see
<SorceressSwift> k, have some rest then, rosella
<Rosella> I have to help my friend talk to her uber crush
<Rosella> Since her computer's broken
<SorceressSwift> oic
<SorceressSwift> she can't just phone him?
<Lazygamer> The chat So the treats are the Hero6 babe's lines, the wallpaper, the article, and the chat?
<Hero6_Babe> I appeared in Hero Magazine issue #54. Open the centerfold...
<Rosella> So I have to relay everything
<SorceressSwift> and the emoticons as well
<Lazygamer> hmmm new emoticions?
<SorceressSwift> yes
<Rosella> ears hurt....neck hurts....need sleep...
<SorceressSwift> but the unfortunate thing is that you can only use them in visitors.hero6.com . for some reason it doesn't link to hero6.com/visitors properly
<SorceressSwift> not much difference though, since visitors.hero6.com is pretty much the same as the other, only with less errors
<SorceressSwift> get some sleep then, rosella
<SorceressSwift> you need rest
<Lazygamer> oh I see there is new emoticons
<Lazygamer> ok the idea of a chat and celebrating hero6's 5th anniversary is great, but overall I'm not overly excited about the treats, sorry.
<SorceressSwift> and a few modified ones as well
<SorceressSwift> that's ok
<Lazygamer> I'm just glad that you guys are updating the site frequently these days
<SorceressSwift> thank you
<Lazygamer> there have been times where Hero6 seems to go to sleep
<SorceressSwift> agreed
<SorceressSwift> but it's never sleeping
<Lazygamer> I see
<Rosella> gtg before mI implode
<Rosella> *I
<Lazygamer> question: Will you guys reduce the scope of the game in order to get it released in the somewhat near future?
<Lazygamer> Or I should say, have you guys had to reduce the scope of the game?
<SorceressSwift> I think (though I'm not too sure) that the scope might have been reduced somewhat, though I'll let Daemious or Coco field that question
<SorceressSwift> Daemious? Coco?
<Lazygamer> lol asleep on the keyboard?
<SorceressSwift> or they might be away
* SorceressSwift waves at Daemious and Coco
<Lazygamer> so have there been lots of questions being asked tonight?
<SorceressSwift> I believe so, Rosella said that she didn't stop asking questions
<Lazygamer> that's good
<Lazygamer> Wouldn't want you guys to plan a chat, and have no one ask questions
<SorceressSwift> I'll have the transcripts put up in a few days time, though i'm not sure if there was any part that was cut out. erasmus told me that the chanserv was kicked out halfway
<SorceressSwift> oh, at least if people come, it's still a good thing. it's more worrying if nobody turned up at all
<Lazygamer> so swift, what is your job at Hero6?
<SorceressSwift> I'm the PR. I do my best to keep people interested in hero6
<Lazygamer> oh
<Lazygamer> That's why the site gets updated
<SorceressSwift> yup
<SorceressSwift> so on weekends, i run the rps so that people have other activities to do
<Lazygamer> yah that's a good idea, keep people near the Hero6 forums
<SorceressSwift> keep them busy so that the rest of the team can make the game without being bugged for a release date
<Lazygamer> lol
<SorceressSwift> although I'm very likely to help out in the other sections as well
<Lazygamer> oh
<SorceressSwift> just as soon as i finish that special term. it's currently draining up my energy
<Lazygamer> term, is that something related to university or college?
<SorceressSwift> did you ever join hero6 at any point? i do recall seeing the "hero6 team" title below your nick
<SorceressSwift> university
<Lazygamer> I certainly was on the team quite awhile back
<SorceressSwift> i see. which area did you help out in?
<Lazygamer> I never played a significant role though. I think I attempted some plot work.
<Lazygamer> I'm guessing this might be back in 2001 or 2002
<SorceressSwift> ah
<SorceressSwift> would you ever consider rejoining the team to help them finish the game? just asking
<Lazygamer> Well I've come to realize that there is a big difference between being a game player and a game maker. I can't enjoy the game as a player if I am the maker(except for certain types of games perhaps)
<Lazygamer> so I guess that would be no, unless the team was extremely desperate
<SorceressSwift> i see
<Lazygamer> I did try and help out on TUH some too
<SorceressSwift> yeah, i remember you being on that team as an advisor
<Lazygamer> I don't know if I have the devotion for game making
<Spliff> hey hey
<SorceressSwift> hi!
<Lazygamer> hi
<SorceressSwift> Spliff is getting married this week
* Spliff has been running around all day
<Lazygamer> ouch
<Lazygamer> marriage hehe
<Spliff> heh
<Spliff> been with the same girl 7 years so it's about that time
<SorceressSwift> well, congrats again
<SorceressSwift> aww...
<Spliff> Thank u!
<SorceressSwift> so sweet
<Lazygamer> it's good you have someone to love
<SorceressSwift> you're welcome
<Spliff> oops gotta run
<SorceressSwift> i agree
<SorceressSwift> k, bye now
<Spliff> doh
<Lazygamer> goodbye
<SorceressSwift> Coco? Daems?
<SorceressSwift> Still away?
* SorceressSwift wishes for a nurgie function to be available in IRC
<Lazygamer> nurgie?
<SorceressSwift> that thing in msn 7
<SorceressSwift> clicking on that makes a jiggle noise and vibrates the chat window
<Lazygamer> oh
<Lazygamer> Do you know whatever happened to SFLAH and Destiny? Both of these projects are in deep freeze
<SorceressSwift> no, i'm afraid not
<SorceressSwift> oh yes, the Hero6 Preview will be released soon. sometime this week, if everything goes according to plan
<Lazygamer> !!!
<Lazygamer> cool
<Lazygamer> Hmmm preview? How does that work?
<SorceressSwift> you know, one of those articles that talk about what the game is about, just like a review, except it gets released before the game is, so it's called a preview instead
<SorceressSwift> Bromios is writing it
<Lazygamer> sweet
<SorceressSwift> There'll also be some screenshots accompanying it as well
<Lazygamer> new ones?
<SorceressSwift> i believe at least two of them are indeed new
<Lazygamer> It's good you guys keep the fans interested.
<SorceressSwift> Thank you
<SorceressSwift> This Preview idea is really Bromios' idea though. I'm just one of them who approved of it
<SorceressSwift> are there other things we can do to keep you guys interested?
<Lazygamer> Well new screenshots or music are quite good.
<Lazygamer> But maybe there is other ways too
<Lazygamer> The best way is not to spend 2-3 more years making Hero6
<SorceressSwift> I agree
<Lazygamer> I do read the forums when there are interesting topics
<SorceressSwift> and how often are there interesting topics?
<SorceressSwift> it hasn't been easy trying to balance between the ones with lots of content, and the off-topic ones
<SorceressSwift> very often, the lines get blurred
<Lazygamer> sometimes the topics are interesting. Even if a topic is not intriguing, just having new things to talk about is good.
<Lazygamer> I do hate the thread hijacking stuff. It happens to frequently, and is rarely funny
<SorceressSwift> yeah, it would be more helpful if i had more help around here.
<SorceressSwift> this suddenly came to me. would you like to be a moderator?
<Lazygamer> not sure about that.
<Lazygamer> Even though the thread hijacking is crazy, I don't really like imposing my will on the other forum goers about it.
<SorceressSwift> that's ok
<SorceressSwift> just thought i'd ask
<Lazygamer> Besides, it only keeps on because no one else has anything else to say about the thread's main topic.
<Lazygamer> also, when I see a thread getting out of control in terms of flames and stuff, I'd rather let it continue spiraling then try to fix it
<Lazygamer> of course people do need to follow the rules sometimes
<SorceressSwift> hi
<Lazygamer> hi
* Hero6_Visitor is now known as Pwincess
<Lazygamer> ahhh you

<SorceressSwift> Lazy, here's the official answer to your question earlier about scope
<SorceressSwift> it's already been reduced, but it won't be reduced further
<SorceressSwift> even if it does get further reduced, only very minor things will be affeced
<Lazygamer> ahha I see
<Lazygamer> so do you know what the current scope would be? Like how large is this game compared to QFG4?
<SorceressSwift> good question. Coco?
<Lazygamer> So swift what does a moderator do?
<SorceressSwift> a moderator in the forums keeps an eye out for things getting out of hand
<Lazygamer> and the rules define what is out of hand I suppose
<SorceressSwift> like if a possible flame war is about to start, or if it gets too off-topic, then he/she has to step in
<SorceressSwift> yes
<Lazygamer> well I tend to check these forums anyways, so I suppose I could try being a mod.
<SorceressSwift> that's good. would you be ok if i make you a temporary mod for two weeks? see if you manage it
<Lazygamer> not a problem
<SorceressSwift> if after two weeks, you find that you like this job and can handle it, i'll make it permanent
<Lazygamer> ok
<Lazygamer> so is the visitors forums under moderated?
<Jafar> aww...I wanted to be a mod!
<Jafar> Heya
<SorceressSwift> hi
<Lazygamer> hi
<Erasmus> Just want to see if there were any last minute questions before I go to bed
<SorceressSwift> well, LB and Ianfe help out from time to time
<SorceressSwift> cool, lazy has a question!
<Lazygamer> can't think of any last minutue questions
<Lazygamer> oh wait yes
<Lazygamer> yes that question
<Erasmus> go head
<Erasmus> go ahead^
<Lazygamer> currently, how does Hero6 compared in scope to QFG 4?
<Erasmus> in terms of....?
<Lazygamer> NPCs, replay, rooms, length
<Erasmus> More NPC's than 4
<Erasmus> Less length I think
<Erasmus> more scenes
<Erasmus> replay- I don't know, probably same
<Lazygamer> Hmmmm more rooms and NPCs but less length? Now that's interesting
<SorceressSwift> Congrats, Lazygamer. You're now a mod of the visitor forums
<Lazygamer> wewt
<Jafar> Congratulations!
<Erasmus> There are class based quests and dialogue, but the game doesn't change too much on class
<Lazygamer> ah
<Erasmus> Congrats.... now how did that just happen?
<Lazygamer> good question!
<Lazygamer> well Swift asked me about it and I said maybe and then yes
<SorceressSwift> I asked lazygamer if he would consider helping me out in the visitors forum as a moderator.
<Erasmus> ah
<Erasmus> He's pretty active, I take it?
<SorceressSwift> he's going to do this on a trial basis.
<SorceressSwift> indeed
<Lazygamer> active enough
<Erasmus> Alright, but "Uncle Erasmus" is going to have his eye on you (nothing gets by me Swift )
<SorceressSwift> after two weeks, if he finds it managable, and if i'm happy with his performance, he gets to do this permanently
<SorceressSwift> lol
<Lazygamer> Not a problem
<Erasmus> Goodluck, hope it goes well
<Erasmus> Alright, anything else?
<Jafar> I have a question
<Jafar> What was the plot (as much as you can reveal to ordinary guys) again?
<Jafar> It seems to of gotten lost
<Erasmus> I can't really say that. I can tell you there is an element of Celtic culture in it
<Erasmus> The plot is too much to give out, but I'll say this:
<Erasmus> Someone asked earlier, "is it more like qfg1 'This valley sucks' or qfg4 'The world is doomed'?"
<Erasmus> daemious' response was- "It's more like 'this valley is doomed'"
<Jafar> I see...thanks
<Lazygamer> interesting!
<Erasmus> Saving the world requires a bit more experience as a hero, he needs to build up a reputation
<Lazygamer> in addition, it's extremely cliched
<Erasmus> hehe
<Jafar> hehe
<Erasmus> I don't think our plot is cliche, thats something we've tried hard to avoid
<Erasmus> alright, to bed with me if nothing is left
<SorceressSwift> Agreed
<Lazygamer> nothing I can think of
<SorceressSwift> thanks for stopping by
<Lazygamer> yes
<Jafar> Thats all I can think of
<Erasmus> alright
<Erasmus> np
<Erasmus> goodnight all
<Jafar> Later potater
<SorceressSwift> goodnight
<Lazygamer> goodnight
<SorceressSwift> well, i'll be heading off soon too since i have school to attend
<SorceressSwift> and i haven't even had breakfast yet
<Lazygamer> oh
<Jafar> When will the chat log be posted?
<SorceressSwift> as soon as i have time
<Jafar> k
<SorceressSwift> which, i really don't know since this special term is driving me crazy
<Jafar>
<SorceressSwift> anyway, a Hero6 Preview article will be released some time this week
<Lazygamer> yah that's gonna be cool to read
<SorceressSwift> keep an eye out for it
<Jafar> Cool
<Lazygamer> I hope
<SorceressSwift> with new screenshots
<SorceressSwift> Bromios will be writing it
<SorceressSwift> anyway, I have to go now. I hope you guys had fun
<SorceressSwift> bye now
<Lazygamer> I did
<Lazygamer> goodbye
<SorceressSwift>
<SorceressSwift> nice to hear that
<SorceressSwift> bye
