WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.359 --> 00:00:08.560 This is an Unspoiled Network podcast. This is spoil Me 2 00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:19.879 covering Dungeon Crawler caral Book seven This Inevitable ruin chapters twelve, thirteen, fourteen, 3 00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:26.920 and fifteen. In these chapters, we have got some hanky 4 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.760 panky going on behind the scenes. We already knew, but 5 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:36.719 somebody really straight up tries to suicide bomb caral Wild 6 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:43.880 and also skunk attack the Worst. Welcome to spoil Me, 7 00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.480 Welcome to the show everyone. I am Natasha. Thank you 8 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.959 very much to Michael for commissioning this episode. Michael's here 9 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:12.480 in the chat telling me that Dungeon Crawler Car got 10 00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:16.760 picked up by Peacock, So, uh, I guess that's gonna 11 00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.760 be a thing. I am really here's my I'm just 12 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.239 going to address this like just for a brief moment, 13 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.239 and then I'm just gonna get out of it and 14 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.719 go straight into the book. But my main concern any 15 00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.959 time that you are dealing with a storyline that is 16 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.640 so anti capitalist is that it is going to be 17 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:43.280 totally diluted and the messaging is going to be changed 18 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:47.840 in such a way because it is making people uncomfortable 19 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:52.000 and we have to like not give the prolls any 20 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.799 fucking ideas. It's just, you know what I mean, that's 21 00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.760 something that I would be the most worried about, no 22 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:03.280 matter who picks it up. I feel like that's something 23 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:08.319 that tends to happen, and I hope that they don't 24 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:14.199 make that mistake because I genuinely that's the point, you know. So, 25 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.639 but it's certainly what happened in my opinion with the 26 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.439 Hunger Games. I felt like they just the whole point 27 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.719 was not what they focused on, and it was very 28 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:33.199 frustrating to me. It was they It's just sort of 29 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:39.039 the thing, though, is what appeals to the executives who 30 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:46.759 want content is the flashy, bombastic story, and that is 31 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.960 what they focus on adapting, and the actual like bones 32 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:56.360 of it are way way less important than the spectacle, 33 00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:01.159 and so they fall into the very trap of the 34 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:07.639 people in power in the property. So we'll see. But 35 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:16.439 let's get this bitch rolling here, shall we. So reminder 36 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:21.240 that the last chapter ended with Carl, you know, being 37 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.719 really emotional, finding out about everybody who had arrived to 38 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.120 fight on his side, and the folks who were authors 39 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:32.400 of the cookbook, and then we start chapter twelve with 40 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.039 krawler Ikecha. If I could only see him again. It 41 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:41.479 would change everything. I am jealous. Those of you with community, 42 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.599 with friends, with family my kind are castrated and cast 43 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:48.560 out as such. I think my perspective is unique, so 44 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.120 much different than the one who came before me York, 45 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.479 who appears to have come from a hive, yet says 46 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.759 he always felt alone his entire life. We are so different, 47 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.840 but upon reading his words, I felt such kinship. I 48 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.759 wonder did he survive. Those of you reading this, If 49 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:06.840 you're ever free of this place, I pray you seek 50 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.599 out the others who came before. It is a dream. 51 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.439 Can you imagine? Together? There would be nothing. We couldn't 52 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:22.120 do nothing. And the community aspect is like literally what 53 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.920 has been keeping Carl going, you know this, looking around 54 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.240 at his friends and realizing that he that there are 55 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.439 people that he has really grown to care about. It's 56 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:42.680 h like this is what drives people who have something 57 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.360 that they can look around and be like, this feeds me. 58 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.240 Are very lucky and not I don't enough folks have it, 59 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.399 and I am not one at all, of course, with 60 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.720 my job to say, like, the internet isn't real, but 61 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:03.199 the internet does feed you in the same way that 62 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:07.000 an in person community can feed you. They're very different things. 63 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:12.759 And the support that he is getting here in the dungeon, 64 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.759 it's really kind of awful to know that when in 65 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:20.000 the before times, as he puts it, he was like 66 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.439 so much more alone than he is now that things 67 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:29.120 are so dire, And it's really how shit off and 68 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:35.199 will go is. It's not until things get extremely bad 69 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.480 that folks feel the need to band together, and it 70 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.800 has to be going extremely badly for everyone for that 71 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.560 to happen. There be times where it's the opposite, where 72 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.079 if it's you only going through something really tough, then 73 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:51.120 suddenly everyone disappears on you. I personally haven't really had 74 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.399 that as something that like, you know, but I know 75 00:05:54.600 --> 00:06:03.600 enough people who have so Anyway, they're entering Princess Posse 76 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.639 base camp and it says there's a red alert incursion 77 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:11.079 into your territory. Enter the flag room to see the 78 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:16.160 details and later on the fact that the AI handled 79 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:23.000 it this way, their adjutant takes some It takes exception two. 80 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:29.680 We'll get to this in a moment. The skeleton of 81 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.600 a new building was in the process of being erected 82 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.319 around the shop up a small hill. A second larger 83 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.399 building stood it was stone, but I couldn't see how 84 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.759 big it was. It also was encased in metal girders. 85 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.839 Multiple workers crawled over both structures. They were boxing the 86 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.040 safe room, men protecting it. It appeared they were expanding 87 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.680 the size of the other structure up the hill connecting 88 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:54.120 the two. And I just want to mention once again 89 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.800 in light of the airship that Louis got and then 90 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.680 this with like metal girders, and he just scribes like 91 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:07.319 the smell of welding and burnt tar. Everybody has access 92 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:12.680 to tools, abilities, and materials beyond what I was ever expecting. 93 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.199 I really thought we were going to be dealing with 94 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:21.160 a medieval style of warfare with magic, so it would 95 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.519 be upgraded. It would definitely be more dangerous than actual 96 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:31.120 medieval warfare. But this is different. It's very much feeling 97 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.319 like we're not too far outside of what it would 98 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.439 be like if we were actually to have battles in 99 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:44.040 our own streets, you know, where there's like, if anything, 100 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.680 they're being given more resources than we would probably have 101 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:53.120 a lot of us. And this is when everybody spots 102 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:57.639 Karl and they begin to have very strong reactions to 103 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.319 both him and to Donut of course they spot Carl first. 104 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:06.040 He's just very large. But there's this guy Penn, who's 105 00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:10.000 in level sixty two fortification engineer, And Carl looks around 106 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.600 and realizes that like a lot of people have that one, 107 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.360 and they all are at like a higher level. Everyone 108 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.680 who's another class is still at sixty, but the engineers 109 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:28.199 are leveling up because they've been doing so much let's see. 110 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:33.200 Oh yeah, so this guy hugs him and gives him 111 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:36.519 a kiss on each cheek, and I love donnu, Carl. 112 00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.399 Why does everyone kissing you all of a sudden. That's 113 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.360 like the third person in an hour. You're going to 114 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:48.120 get mono. Oh that's funny. Everybody begins to do this 115 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:53.840 like hup sort of chant, which very much reminded me 116 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:59.200 of like the three strong men from I think Family 117 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.519 guy that like right around on a unicycle, or maybe 118 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:05.120 there's just two of them, you guys don't talking about anyway. 119 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.960 That's why I pictured here for a second. But uh, 120 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:15.519 it's just a moment of everybody like thanking him in 121 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.840 this way, and it is at first kind of weird 122 00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:22.960 and awkward, and then it becomes very powerful and inspiring, 123 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.600 which is how that shit works. It feels very goofy 124 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:30.200 at first, before you've really got rolling, and then all 125 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:37.320 of a sudden there's something in it, you know, so 126 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.240 we need to see the stronghold that I have to 127 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.600 go back and help Rose that I don't have. Finally said, 128 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.799 Tippid is walking them through the camp. Everybody's waving at them. 129 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.919 We're getting a lot of information in these chapters about things, 130 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.120 and I'm going to be totally honest with you all. 131 00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:58.000 I am not keeping a lot of this straight. I 132 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.639 am in a weird position here. Felt like whenever I 133 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:06.480 cover books the way that I do, I know a 134 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:11.399 lot of folks won't have followed either that. There are 135 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.799 plenty of people out there who also didn't really process everything, 136 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:19.840 but the difference is that they don't have to explain it. 137 00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:23.399 They don't have to be on camera talking about whether 138 00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:27.039 or not they understood, and so they can just let 139 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.840 it wash over them and then move forward and read 140 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:34.879 and things can just unfold, Whereas I either have to 141 00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:36.639 get it or I have to admit that I don't, 142 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.480 and so I'm allowing it to mostly wash over me 143 00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.360 because I don't feel like the mechanics of everything are 144 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.639 the most important or interesting part of the story. I 145 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.759 do think they matter, especially in terms of the way 146 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:55.759 that Karl manages to bend the rules. The whole point 147 00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.360 of the way Karl operates is he figures out the 148 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.480 way that things are supposed to work and finds a 149 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:08.960 way around it. So in that respect, the rules are 150 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.120 important so that we can understand the cleverness in breaking them. 151 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:17.679 But I can still appreciate it in retrospect. I don't 152 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:19.799 need to be able to predict it. I don't have 153 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.000 to do that level of you know what I'm saying. 154 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:27.360 So anyway, we had a few thousand of us choose 155 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.039 that fortification engineer race so they could build fast. It 156 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.399 lets them level with construction. We have several alchemists who've 157 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:35.320 been making the materials since we got here, and we 158 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.879 have a solid staff who can enchant the walls. There's 159 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:42.080 a Yank named Langrim who used to run the enchantment 160 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:44.840 guild here, and they really know what they're doing. And 161 00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.799 I'll say that the audiobook narrator pronounces it yank, and 162 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.559 I just kept thinking that it meant like Southerners calling 163 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:57.559 me a yank, for example, And that's not it's ye NK. 164 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.120 So Karl asks what are the safe room rules, and 165 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.559 he says, lots of small changes in a couple big ones. 166 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:07.720 Once the fighting starts, it's going back to the blood 167 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:13.399 bar system, which I kind of like. So I'm looking 168 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:18.679 forward to that second rule, no mercenaries inside guildhalls during 169 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:20.799 the last two phases except for a small staff of 170 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.279 up to nine people at a time. It means we 171 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:25.840 have to build sleeping quarters for all these folks, and 172 00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:31.320 we won't be able to keep a reserve. And the 173 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.919 orc adjutant of yours can clarify, but most of us 174 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.120 aren't getting into your guildhall once fighting starts. That was 175 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.399 a big sticking point with some other teams, because the 176 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.559 active crawlers can still use their regular safe rooms to 177 00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.840 a point. With the blood bar. As for achievements and 178 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.799 all that weird stuff, no, thank the Gods, we don't 179 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:53.440 get that, just level modifications and messages, And I do 180 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:57.320 really like the no thank the Gods that like probably 181 00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:02.360 the AI was just as snarky and irritating and shitty 182 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:04.960 that he doesn't want to have to hear it or 183 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.879 deal with it, and so it just being the mechanics 184 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.440 of things that makes a lot of sense. That he 185 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.799 would just be like, yeah, I do not want to 186 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.519 be thrust back into that kind of energy again, thank you. 187 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:22.440 But no, all non NPC officers have safe rooms of 188 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:25.519 their own, and they'll have built their strongholds around. One 189 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.360 big exception is a Lemmig team, but we can talk 190 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.720 about that later. This change will hurt the operatics and 191 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:34.519 the Naga the most, both of whom are known for 192 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:38.559 hiding rather than fighting. So yeah, if they do hide, 193 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.519 it's not going to be in a safe room. They're 194 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:43.600 going to have to find a way to hide outside 195 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:47.360 of safe rooms, which isn't impossible, but it's certainly more 196 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.480 difficult and it's not going to allow the same sort 197 00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:56.720 of like complacence. So we have the mention of like, 198 00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:59.360 we've got to hit the nagas first yet again, and 199 00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:03.399 then starts to act weird and this is very funny. 200 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:09.639 So there is something that's like this big door that 201 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:18.320 is really odd looking and it's battered, oversized, cumbersome door 202 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:24.440 apprentice quality, and they're pulling the door open and Tippet says, 203 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.240 once we get it open, we have to close it 204 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.240 right away because and then it flies all the way open. 205 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:35.240 Somebody yells she's out again, and it's the dinosaur Tina 206 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:43.200 who's calling Mongo papa again. Audiobook narrator very creepy. The 207 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.480 way that he does her voice, it's very it's like 208 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:50.600 very demonic. I hated it. And the two of them 209 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:55.679 are like extremely happy to see each other, and then 210 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:59.519 we go inside and see Kiwi, who is back in 211 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:05.159 her form. I keep forgetting that Kiwi had been a 212 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:10.080 bear and not a human. I don't know why. In 213 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:11.919 my head it was that she had been a human. 214 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:16.960 But she is a bear, and she is really pregnant, 215 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:21.480 and they you know, her and Mango when she was 216 00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:27.559 a dinosaur fucked a lot many times, So the chances 217 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:31.000 of her being pregnant by Mongo specifically seem to be 218 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:36.320 pretty much one hundred percent unless she was out here 219 00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:39.600 fucking anyone else. I don't see how she could have been. 220 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.639 There weren't other male dinosaurs, so unless she fucked a 221 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.399 bear after turning back, and I don't think there was 222 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:49.279 enough time for her to get this pregnant, unless a 223 00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:53.559 bear's just station time is way shorter. So what the 224 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:55.679 fuck are those babies gonna look like? Are they gonna 225 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.039 be dinosaur babies? Are they gonna be dinosaur bear babies 226 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:04.440 like Barosaurus? What are we having? I I do not 227 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:10.240 know what to expect, And I can't imagine if we 228 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:14.320 have a bunch of fucking mangos and we have accelerated 229 00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:23.399 pet leveling, that is a very good slash dangerous slash 230 00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:29.440 potentially volatile fighting force. This like, I don't know how 231 00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:31.559 many you can have either, I don't do they have, 232 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:37.440 Like she's in bare form, So would she give birth 233 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:39.600 to more than one at a time? Or is it 234 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.840 just one? You know what I'm saying. I don't know 235 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:46.840 how when it's when you're a dinosaur, you lay eggs. 236 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:51.840 That's not how this is working here. But is it 237 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:54.480 possible that she's pregnant with more than one fetus? Is 238 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:59.480 that why she looks so hugely pregnant because she's carrying 239 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:05.400 a Essentially, bears have litters, but it's not a large number, 240 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.160 you know. I feel like the max is usually like three, 241 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:12.359 maybe four, not like with kittens or puppies where you 242 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:17.279 can have up to ten even sometimes more. But anyway, 243 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:24.559 Kiwi gives Mango a big hug and then turns away, 244 00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:27.759 and Mango does not seem to know what to make 245 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:32.720 of anything. He's just really confused. Of course, Donut is 246 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:36.759 having uh. She says, if this turns into some weird 247 00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:40.240 furry porn thing, I'm going to lose my absolute shit. 248 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.519 And oftentimes when Donut kind of throws a tantrum about things, 249 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:48.640 it's like it's always a little funny, but the way 250 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.920 she delivers the line will be sort of predictable in 251 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.640 a way that makes it slightly less funny. To me, 252 00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:59.920 I'll be honest that I'm going to lose my app 253 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.079 shit is just so completely exactly how I would have 254 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:08.640 phrased it myself that when she says it almost verbatim 255 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.759 how I would have said it, I cracked up a 256 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:14.240 little bit. I was just like, look, me and donutsy 257 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:16.359 eye to eye a lot. But then there are times 258 00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:19.440 where I'm just like, girl, we are just fucking the 259 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:24.440 same person a little bit. So then we go to 260 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:31.759 entering the Fortress of unyielding power and authority, which is 261 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:35.039 called if you are going to turn it into an acronym, 262 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:42.039 the FUPA, which I at first was told was short 263 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:46.000 for fat upper pussy area. I have since been told 264 00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:51.240 it is fat upper pubic area and can also apply 265 00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:56.440 to men. I don't know if anybody is accurate on 266 00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:59.160 that front either way, because I don't think anyone's an 267 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:01.920 arbiter of this sort of word, so I think it 268 00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:08.119 can mean whatever. But uh, I, this just very much 269 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:12.000 is the exact type of joke that I would expect 270 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:19.200 the AI to want to lean into. So, oh man, 271 00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:24.119 I'm sorry, I just saw. Miss T says it applies 272 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:26.559 to men, and Michael says, I had no idea there 273 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:28.640 was another term that pupa applied to. I thought the 274 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:33.640 joke was that it sounded ridiculous. Oh, Michael, you precious angel. 275 00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:38.200 I'm so happy to be here to tell you what 276 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.920 fupa means and that it wasn't a gossip girl reference. 277 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.039 Miss T. I have intimate knowledge of a certain male fupa, 278 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.960 which I love very much. And Michael says, I should 279 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:58.480 have known Matt wouldn't have some puerile intention with his jokes, wouldn't. Yeah, 280 00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:02.279 so uh this, he says, well, were you going to 281 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.440 change the name to because the AI got sick of 282 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.880 them changing it back and forth and froze it on 283 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.359 this one, and so Doughnut's annoyed about not being able 284 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:12.720 to change it. And when he says, what would you 285 00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:14.400 have changed it to? And she says, I don't know, Carl. 286 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.839 Now I'm angry and I can't properly create when I'm angry, 287 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.039 which I really need to put that one in my pocket. 288 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.319 I can't properly create when I'm blank, and it's going 289 00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:32.759 to be any emotion at all. Florian had already put 290 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:34.839 it in the chat, and in seconds there were dozens 291 00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:37.559 of animated responses. At least said it was hilarious and 292 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.200 MANI was with Donut campaigning against it. Tran suggested calling 293 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.519 it the Foop instead. I could tell it was going 294 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:46.519 to become a thing with half the people calling it 295 00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:48.759 one name and the other half calling it the other. 296 00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:51.880 I kind of like the foop, not because I really 297 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:55.319 have an issue with fupa as a joke, but there's 298 00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:59.640 something about foop that it's so quick and so tidy. 299 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.880 I just sort of like it as a as a sound. 300 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:06.319 So I sort of want to just go with foop 301 00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:14.200 and may do. We'll see, So we step in. We 302 00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:17.000 stepped to the side as two NPCs rushed by Haullingwood 303 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:20.000 looked like bags of mortar. They were in the body 304 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:23.000 of bugbears. But I knew there were some of my changelings. 305 00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:26.079 There was another dot ahead. It was an elite. He 306 00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:28.680 had the pink glow around his name indicating him as 307 00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:33.920 a soldier Elite Herman the fleet Ogres Strongman level seventy Legionnaire, 308 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:41.160 Princess Posse and he they go into the room and 309 00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:47.759 there's like this moment before stepping inside where he's on 310 00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.119 chat with Florin saying like, tell me about the scouting system, 311 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:55.119 because they agreed to do all of this via message, 312 00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:59.359 and that way you know if there's anybody listening in. 313 00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:03.039 Because there's this asumptions that spies are already in our midst, 314 00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:08.400 which is really sad to think, but unavoidable. I believe 315 00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:11.240 I think they're likely correct. It just makes me really 316 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.440 bummed out because it's been such a show of unity. 317 00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:19.240 To know that probably someone's faking that is a real 318 00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:28.160 sad thought. Let's see, Ellie is off toward the Naga side. 319 00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:32.519 The beaver guys casters or whatever are talking. They're with 320 00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:35.400 that talking turtle guy. Have you figured out how the 321 00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:39.519 peacetime incursions work? Yes, only those with the Scout endorsement 322 00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:41.400 can go over the borders without a pass. If they 323 00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:44.000 get discovered. They're immediately teleported back to base during the 324 00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:47.680 ceasefire and can't go stealth again until the fighting starts. 325 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:50.440 If they hit a trap, it'll still go off and 326 00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:53.599 kill them. We only get eighteen scouts. That's what those 327 00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:56.960 towers are for. We need full coverage. Build a tower 328 00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:58.519 and man it with a group of four or five 329 00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:01.799 folks with proper observation and ping spells, and we can 330 00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:05.240 keep the enemy scouts away. Already teleported out a dream 331 00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:10.720 scout and one of those octopus face fucks from the prism. 332 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.359 I'll bet my left sack we're already infested with enemy spies. 333 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:17.599 We got to get them towers up and do a 334 00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:21.079 full sweep and do it fast. And Carl says spamming 335 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:24.200 traps too, And he says, I'm on it. But there's 336 00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:27.599 an eagle guy who's gone subterranean. He wants access to 337 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:32.160 your trap. Table says he can prevent tripper spells. So 338 00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:35.640 this is when they step into the room and there's 339 00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:39.599 a mention from Carl that there's a smell of rock 340 00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:45.200 and moss of like you know, the outside, but there's 341 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.960 also a really strong scent of sweat, which he finds weird, 342 00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:51.160 and I think that it is a result of this 343 00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:57.359 ogre freaking the fuck out, actually, and he is in 344 00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:03.680 pain and like kind of writhing, and he says, been waiting, 345 00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:06.799 Brother says, you good, supposed to do it already, been 346 00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:11.640 fighting it tell Brother tells sorry. Dozens of little info 347 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:14.519 boxes all popped up, popped up around the ogre, all 348 00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:17.200 at once, and that was when I realized he wasn't 349 00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:21.319 wearing magical gear at all. He was covered in explosive satchels, 350 00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:26.079 and he there's watch out, Carl, watch out in italics. 351 00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.599 And I'm not sure as I'm reading this, like what 352 00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.480 is that in italics? And it's the voice narrator is 353 00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:37.720 he says it in an odd voice. But I wasn't 354 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:39.839 putting that voice together with she Maria. I was not 355 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.000 clocking what was happening here at all. So I'm really 356 00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:44.960 curious if you guys picked up on the fact that 357 00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.079 that italicized bit was her talking to him, because I 358 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:55.039 definitely didn't. And all of a sudden, here comes a 359 00:24:55.200 --> 00:25:02.400 fucking orc who just mashes her battle axe into his 360 00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:06.880 head and kills him and then says, I can only 361 00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:12.160 do so much for you, And this is Baroness Victory 362 00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:25.599 aka that bitch aka Minu Fave aka Goals. I am 363 00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:29.720 so sorry, but I really if anything happens to her, 364 00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:36.400 I am going to be very upset. I love her 365 00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:40.720 so much. And later on there's a point where Florin 366 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:43.240 is like, I don't know if I should be terrified 367 00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:45.759 or in love, and I'm like, in love, Floren, you 368 00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.960 should be in love with her. You absolutely should. This 369 00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:57.039 bitch is absolutely clutch and is so fucking practical about everything. 370 00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:04.440 I live for this energy. You guys, you do not understand. Look, 371 00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:07.720 I am not trying to pretend that I can't be 372 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.599 irrational about shit, Okay. I am not trying to pretend 373 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.440 that I'm always measured and careful and reasoned in my 374 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.759 response to things. Everybody knows that's not true about me. 375 00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.880 Anybody who's met me for two seconds knows if you 376 00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:25.240 ice a cake and a color I don't like, I 377 00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:27.720 am going to be fucking pissed about it. And there's 378 00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:32.680 no reason nobody cares. It's nothing. But I am aware 379 00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:38.720 that I'm being silly. Okay. There is a type of 380 00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:43.799 person that lets their own weird baggage get in the 381 00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:47.880 way of doing things that makes sense in a broader 382 00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:53.440 sense that makes me crazy, and it's part of why 383 00:26:53.839 --> 00:27:02.519 I am socialist. Is is it just actually the evidence 384 00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:05.319 all points to this is good for society and has 385 00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:08.400 been historically and is right now in other governments and 386 00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:12.559 other countries at all. You know, I am not letting 387 00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:16.079 the fact that socialism is a word that makes people 388 00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:19.839 curl up and die get in the way of seeing No. 389 00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:25.920 Evidentially this bears out, and I find it so annoying 390 00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:31.480 when people just get like triggered by these words that 391 00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:36.039 cause them to completely close off. And this is a 392 00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:39.680 woman who is coming in here with the energy of like, 393 00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:45.680 I'm here to uphold the rules, and I don't care 394 00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:50.640 if you break the rules. I'm upholding them. It doesn't matter. 395 00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:54.799 I'm not like on your side. It looks like I'm 396 00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:57.000 on your side, simply because the people who most often 397 00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:00.279 break the rules are the guys in power who fucking suck. 398 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:02.480 And we can all agree that they fucking suck. But 399 00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:06.200 don't think that means I'm cool with stretching them for you, 400 00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:09.839 because obviously, if we're gonna do that, we're gonna have 401 00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:14.759
