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.

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

[rampy]

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

[Shape D.]

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.

[Stingray]

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.

[rampy]

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.

Thats right.  Buy the Terrarium and put the larvae in it.  You now have a familiar!  My little mosquito (Gobert) is now 4 pounds, and replenishes HP every now and then.  Handy little guy. 

rampy - where do you get the bum cheeks?  The sleazy alleyway?  I've got the map and could really do with some new pants to replace my mariachi pants.

[Stingray]

I wish there was some way to get more adventure points. I ate all the food I had, so I guess I'm out of luck until tomorrow.

[HarumaN]

I'm a level 2 Cilantro Seer.  If you make a clan, I'm in, lol.  This is fun.

yeah from the "rushing bum" randomly... or perhaps in the haiku dungeon or something...     my familiar is slurpy the mosquito

I might have a spare pair of goblin pants if you want 'em.

[locash]

I'd swear that I got some cheeks fighting a rushing bum, but I can't find them anywhere in my inventory.  Where should they be?

Has anyone broken their Hippy Stone?

there in equiptment, and no I havent broken it.

[Stingray]

Has anyone broken their Hippy Stone?

I think breaking it at level 3 would be asking to get the crap kicked out of you every time you enter the campground.

I don't think it works like that... you can only attack someone on your level (assuming that you've broken your hippie stone, and the other person has broken their's.... you can't be attacked if your hippie stone is intact)

and, I don't think you have to be *in* the campground to be attacked... or do you? It's kinda weird, and i'm not sure I get it. 

*shrug*  Now that I have a goal (level 7) it's driving me crazy that I used up all my adventures... and i'm too full to eat any more, and i'm a the precipous (14 inebriation score) of being drunk...

rampy

[Stingray]

[rampy]

you get "too drunk to adventure" even though you still have adventures left (they carry over though till the next day...)

strike that you go on a "drunken stooper adventure" where the result is always bad (I couldn't help myself)

"You can't quite remember what happened during this adventure, but you're pretty sure it involved some hot Gnoll chick.

You lose 10 Meat

Way to go, Tiger."

rampy

[El Bucle]

Not all drunken adventures are bad.  Sometimes you'll wake up in a pile of your own vomit and you'll gain some meat. 

I haven't done PVP yet, but I don't think you have to be in the campground.  Apparently, you can be attacked whenever or initiate a battle whenever with people of your level.

I'm a lvl 9 Pastamancer, been playing for a month or so.  Awesome game.  I'll be glad to hook anyone up with some booze/eats/tips/equipment.  In-game name is El_Bucle (remember, underscore!)

On a side note, ph34r me, n00bs! I am level NINE! MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!
