Awesome Browser MMPORG : Kingdom of Loathing

[rampy]

Guys check out Kingdom of Loathing

It's effing ridiculous parody (yet fun gameplay) of a mmporg/RPG ... if you were old enough in the reagan era to remember BBS's and Door games you'll be right at home.

My level 4 pastamancer was attacked by an Evil Undead Eblow macaroni!  The object is to get meat (which is the currency) and drink/booze.

It's cheezy, it's addictive, it's funny...  in a strongbad email-esque kinda way.

What a bummer, you seem to be limited to how long you can play per day. I already burned through my alloted time for today.

time or turns?  It's turn based so you get a fixed amount of adventures per day.

The good thing is if you skip a day your adventures carry over to the next day (up until a max of 200) --  I remember staying up late and bopping into L.O.R.D. or tradewars and doing my "moves" right before midnight on a bbs, and then loggin in after midnight and doing some more or doing a 2nd attack/etc...  but then I was hosed for the rest of the next day =(

is your handle over there the same as it is here?  There's a surprising amount of depth and odd puzzles to solve, 90% i don't get... and they only give hints in the form of haiku's on the message board.

*shrug*

Looks like it's a turn limitation. In any case, I'm done for today. I'll be back tomorrow.

Yes, I'm Stingray over there as well.

The only thing lame is I already ran out of adventures for today.
i'm Shape_D over there.

So who is going to start the byoac clan for KOL?

So who is going to start the byoac clan for KOL?

you need to be level 7 to form your own clan.. I'm at 5 now...

If I get to 7 I'll make a byoac one.

Stay away from goofballs

[HarumaN]

dangit... I just used one, now that its used up, my stats are all like halved.  I guess once you start, you're hooked...

[Stingray]

Stay away from goofballs

Thanks for the advice. I took the "free sample" , but didn't use them.

They up your stats for 10 turns and then you suffer from withdrawal for 100 turns and your stats decrease for that period.

[Shape D.]

WEAK.

You start with 80 adventure points, but only get 40 gained per day.

[HarumaN]

I found you can gain some adventure points by eating food.

  Ha! That's what you guys get for dealing with suspicious looking guys

and booze =)  but too much booze will incapacitate you... (but apparently there's some portions of the game only available to you more than half in the bag... but I havne't figured it out yet)

If you get the map (i forget it's name) that has you go into some septic tank, but it smells so bad you can't get in... combine two bum cheeks to make an asshat (you'll need meatpaste, obviously)

I just got around to getting a familiar:  a mosquito.. he's 10lbs but I've got him equipped with a hyperdermic needle that gives him +5lbs...  (if you haven't played the game, that's got to read as the oddest sentence you've ever read, no?)

i used up all my adventures and am still stuck on level 5, but as soon as I get to 7 i'll form byoac clan...  we can create this meat stash that if we get 50k in it, each memeber of the clan gets 500 meat a day.  (kinda like a credit union or something)

EDIT--> btw stingray check your kol messages...

Count me in, I'm a level three Saucerer AKA "parsley enchanter". I think you have to be level five to join one.

Okie dokie, trying to figure out how this stuff works...

[Stingray]

Oh and I'm level three, my 40 adventures for today went too quickly.

[Luxury]

Level 3 Accordian Theif here.  (TippityTom)  And I'll join the clan for sure.

It's actually a pretty fun game.  Great fun while at work.

[Stingray]

I guess you can join a clan at level 3. I'm now seeing a Join Clan option when I enter the clan district. As soon as someone hits level seven & starts the BYOAC clan I'm there.

level 3 Disco Bandit. Count me in on the Clan

I found you can gain some adventure points by eating food.

I wish I would have known that yesterday, I sold all the food I found. I ate what I found today and got about 15 more adventure points.

I just got around to getting a familiar: a mosquito.. he's 10lbs but I've got him equipped with a hyperdermic needle that gives him +5lbs... (if you haven't played the game, that's got to read as the oddest sentence you've ever read, no?)

Mines only 1lb

I'm a level three Disco Bandit as well. Maybe we'll form a sub clan.

How do you get a familiar.... Preferlably in a non haiku form ;-)

Deal.

In the scary forest (or whatever it's called) I found a mosquito larva. I assume if I bought an incubator in the market I could grow it into a mosquito, but I don't have enough meat.

Another bizare statement that would make no sense outside the context of this game.

you get a familiar grow terranium for 500 meat

i've got some familiar gro fertilizer, not sure if that's required...

the mosquito larvae is the easiest one to start with but there are many more...

I accidently ate my gnollish mushroom or i'd have a new one.  don't forget to take your familiar out on adventures with you... he's not going to get any bigger in his terranium.
