Stealing HMS Victory
Part 1
in which we steal HMS Victory.
01:13:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:13:wilw: Admiral Collingwood?
01:14:wilw: That seemed to work.
01:14:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:14:m_cat: Thomas Cochrane
01:14:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:14:FredMarryat: I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!
01:14:FredMarryat: Maybe they don't care what you say.
01:14:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:15:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:15:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:15:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:15:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:15:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:15:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:15:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:15:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:15:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:15:JeffVader: Fuck off, or I'll kill you with this tray.
01:15:JeffVader: Seems so.
01:15:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:16:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:16:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:16:Sentry: Who goes there?
01:16:wilw: Whoa, I think it's Admiral Nelson
01:16:Lord Nelson: What's wrong with 'confides,' I ask you?
01:16:m_cat: Hey, Nelson!
01:16:Lord Nelson: What's wrong with 'confides,' I ask you?
01:16:~~=Wm Norrington=~~: Now you've done it!
01:16:wilw: Nothing, M'Lord.
01:16:Lord Nelson: What's wrong with 'confides,' I ask you?
01:16:Ichiko: WTF?
01:17:FredMarryat: Maybe he responds whenever anyone says his name.
01:17:FredMarryat: Lord Nelson! Lord Nelson! Lord Nelson!
01:17:Lord Nelson: What's wrong with 'confides,' I ask you?
01:17:FredMarryat: I guess that settles that. Think he does anything else?
01:17:m_cat: I doubt it. Let's get those sails set.
01:17:AmbrosiaSpike: We're on it.
01:19:FredMarryat: Anybody here good with C++?
01:20:~~=Wm Norrington=~~: C++ kinda sucks. You should use Java or something.
01:20:Cyan: Use Scheme. Or Lisp.
01:20:FredMarryat: It's for my programming class. I'm stuck with it.
01:20:Cyan: Ick.
01:27:JeffVader: We didn't bring enough topmen
01:29:m_cat: Be patient.
01:34:wilw: I'm going to go rock Guitar Hero. Call me when we're ready to sail.
01:36:m_cat: Okay.
01:37:Ichiko: Rock!
01:40:AmbrosiaSpike: ILikeCheese, why are you so slow? You said you had
01:40:AmbrosiaSpike: Set Sails 4!
01:41:ILikeCheese: i have to keep opening and closing my skill window
01:41:AmbrosiaSpike: What?
01:41:ILikeCheese: having my skill window open while I'm trying to move around is hard
01:41:ILikeCheese: i have to keep clicking it open and closed
01:41:AmbrosiaSpike: Hotkey it!
01:41:ILikeCheese: what?
01:41:AmbrosiaSpike: PRess F11
01:41:ILikeCheese: k
01:41:AmbrosiaSpike:Did a long, narrow window pop up on your screen?
01:41:ILikeCheese: yea
01:41:AmbrosiaSpike: Is your skill window open?
01:41:ILikeCheese: yea
01:42:AmbrosiaSpike: Drag the icon for Set Sails to one of the first box.
01:42:ILikeCheese: k
01:42:AmbrosiaSpike: Now you can just hit F1 with just that little window open.
01:42:ILikeCheese: thx
01:42:FredMarryat: What a lubber.
01:43:ILikeCheese: STUF
01:43:ILikeCheese: ^STFU
01:58:AmbrosiaSpike: We're god to go.
01:58:m_cat: Take the wheel, CaptainPeacock.
01:58:CaptainPeacock: Awesome.
01:59:m_cat: Cut those cables!
01:59:JeffVader: That was easy.
01:59:Ichiko: Rock!
02:00:wilw: I'm back.
02:00:m_cat: Finished pawnz0riating Guitar Hero, Wil?
02:00:HMS Victory:
02:00:wilw: Um, sure.
02:00:m_cat: Who's doing that?
02:01:JeffVader: I cant' stop the skill now.
02:01:m_cat: You don't get to be signal midshipman anymore.
02:01::DreadPirateRoberts: (the docks): Ahoy Victory! WTF?
02:01:FredMarryat (HMS Victory): I'm in ur port, cuttin' out ur Victory.
02:01::DreadPirateRoberts: (the docks): You're stealing Nelson's ship?
02:01:Lord Nelson: What's wrong with 'confides,' I ask you?
02:01:JeffVader: We've got a flag, you know.
02:01:m_cat: Get us out of here, CaptainPeacock.
02:01:m_cat (HMS Victory): Yes.
02:02:HMS Victory:
02:02::DreadPirateRoberts: (the docks): No! They be takin' mah Victory!
02:02:m_cat (HMS Victory): Bye now.
02:03:m_cat: ~~=Wm Norrington=~~, I understand this ship contains powder monkeys.
02:03:m_cat: Bring them before me. I wish to eat them.
02:03:wilw: Powder monkeys aren't monkeys, m_cat.
02:03:m_cat: Is this another one of those "there aren't any guns in the gunroom" things?
02:04:m_cat: These naval terms are just crazy. Can't they use English properly?
02:04:HMS Victory:
02:05:m_cat: Steady as she goes, CaptainPeacock.
02:05:CaptainPeacock: That means I keep doing what I'm doing, right?
02:05:m_cat: I think so.
02:06:wilw: I think this is really going to work.
02:06:Cyan: We're going to get busted for this.
02:06:m_cat: We'll report it sooner or later.
02:07:wilw: You know, GM-Foley, I only have one eye.
02:07:HMS Victory:
02:07:Ichiko: GM?
02:07:wilw: I have a right to be blind sometimes.
02:08:wilw: It's a quote. Nelson to Foley, when he was pretending not to notice
02:08:Lord Nelson: What's wrong with 'confides,' I ask you?
02:08:wilw: an order to withdraw at the Battle of Copenhagen.
02:09:m_cat: Right, wasn't Nelson's Copenhagen interpretation really important to
02:09:Lord Nelson: What's wrong with 'confides,' I ask you?
02:09:m_cat: quantum mechanics?
02:09:wilw: I don't think so.
02:09:HMS Victory:
02:10:m_cat: Yeah, the Copenhagen interpretation. It's famous.
02:10:wilw: No, I'm sure you're wrong.
02:10:HMS Victory:
02:11:HMS Victory:
02:11:FredMarryat: It's still going.
02:11:JeffVader: It seemed funny at the time.
02:12:m_cat: Yeah, Nelson stated that the waving form of a flag represents the observer's knowledge
02:12:Lord Nelson: What's wrong with 'confides,' I ask you?
02:12:m_cat: of the system.
02:12:wilw: No.
02:12:m_cat: Thus, since Nelson had more knowledge about the battle than did Sir Hyde Parker,
02:12:Lord Nelson: What's wrong with 'confides,' I ask you?
02:12:wilw: No. Just, no.
02:12:m_cat: and thus he ignored the order to withdraw.
02:12:Lord Nelson: What's wrong with 'confides,' I ask you?
02:13:HMS Victory:
02:13:wilw: Am I in an alternate universe? NO!
02:13:FredMarryat:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen_interpretation02:13:m_cat: See?
02:13:wilw: I give up.
02:13:m_cat: Goo d idea. I'm typing this sitting on a 1,000+ page physics book. You never
02:13:m_cat: had a chance.
02:14:HMS Victory:
02:15:FredMarryat: m_cat is nuts. Lolz.
02:16:Ichiko: yeah, Nelson's got nothin to do with the copenhagen interpertation.
02:16:Lord Nelson: What's wrong with 'confides,' I ask you?
02:16:m_cat: Maybe we should push him overboard.
02:16:wilw: You want to push the most famous British naval hero of all time overboard?
02:16:HMS Victory:
02:16:Ichiko: Rock!
02:17:~~=Wm Norrington=~~: Sounds like a plan. He's annoying.
02:17:wilw: He's a major NPC!
02:17:ILikeCheese: this is a mmo*RPG* killing rnadom npcs is the whole point
02:17:wilw: That's not true.
02:17:ILikeCheese: well that and lvling
02:17:wilw: It's like I'm in Hell.
02:17:m_cat: I'm putting you in charge of shutting him up, Wil.
02:18:wilw: Fine. I think he's walking randomly. Maybe we could herd him into the
02:18:wilw: fo'c'sle.
02:18:Cyan: Good plan. Where's the f'o'csel?
02:18:AmbrosiaSpike: I'm in.
02:18:wilw: Cyan, stand here.
02:18:Cyan: k
02:18:wilw: AmbrosiaSpike, stand here.
02:19:HMS Victory:
02:19:AmbrosiaSpike: kk
02:19:Cyan: Is he going to move?
02:19:AmbrosiaSpike: Stay on target.
02:20:wilw: Patience. The fo'c'sel is that area up front. Get him to the door.
02:20:HMS Victory:
02:21:wilw:Spike, move left!
02:21:AmbrosiaSpike: k
02:21:wilw: My left!
02:21:AmbrosiaSpike: Sry.
02:22:HMS Victory:
02:23:wilw: cyan left now
02:23:Cyan: I get it.
02:23:AmbrosiaSpike. I c now.
02:23:HMS Victory:

02:35:CaptainPeacock: We're in the opean ocean!
