00:14, Cryoburner whispers: There's no such thing as word filters. Any suggestion to the contrary is treason.
00:35, Jam whispers: I told you the spiders would start attacking... They've injected their venom now... :P
01:13, Cryoburner whispers: There's no such thing as spiders. Any suggestion to the contrary is treason.
01:16, Jam meant: spiderbot
01:59, Jam is not a copycat. :P
02:02, Cryoburner whispers: Jam is a copyjam?
02:03, Jam has jammed the copier... Again.
02:07, Cryoburner shoves the copier out a forty-fourth floor window.
02:08, Cryoburner> Mary, where are the copies?
02:08, Mary Lou> Who knows?
02:08, Jam> me catches it from LEVEL 22!
02:09, Cryoburner> I asked for those copies four hours ago.
02:09, Cryoburner> Where's Jam? Mary, get him in here.
02:09, Mary Lou> Often the making of conserves can be trickier than making a standard jam, because the balance between cooking, or sometimes steeping in the hot sugar mixture for just enough time to allow the flavour to be extracted from the fruit, and sugar to penetrate the fruit, and cooking too long that fruit will break down and liquefy.
02:11, Cryoburner> That's very interesting and all Mary, but I need those copies. I wonder if they were in the copier. Get Jam in here.
02:11, Jam stumbles in, carrying a very heavy copier.
02:12, Jam yells: I JUST BROUGHT THIS UP 22 LEVELS!
02:12, Cryoburner> Jam! Did I say you could come in here? I'm having an important meeting with Mary.
02:13, Cryoburner> Hrm... Mary, could you please excuse us?
02:14, Cryoburner> I'm kind of interested in what happened to those copies I asked for. They don't seem to have been copied, as far as I can tell.
02:15, Jam> Mary? What did you do with the copies?
02:18, Cryoburner> Mary, did Jam actually give you those copies, or is he just trying to cover for lack of copying skills? If so, where are they?
02:18, Mary Lou> I just told you, are you blind?
02:19, Cryoburner> Ah yes, so there were no copies.
02:19, Jam> We almost are, at least in Paranoia... :P
02:23, Cryoburner> Jam, I asked for copies of pages two through four-hundred and eighty-six thousand, nine hundred and twelve of the new copier manual to be on my desk as soon as possible, and they're not there yet.
02:23, Cryoburner> Do you know what it is now?
02:23, Cryoburner> Mary, what time is it?
02:23, Mary Lou> It's 2:23 here.
02:23, Mary Lou> What's what?
02:24, Jam> What's a copier?
02:24, Mary Lou> Xerographic office photocopying was introduced by Xerox in 1949, and it gradually replaced copies made by Verifax, Photostat, carbon paper, mimeograph machines, and other duplicating machines.
02:24, Jam> What about Xenomorph?
02:24, Cryoburner> Exactly. It's 2:23, and there isn't yet a single page on my desk.
02:25, Cryoburner> Jam, I would suggest reading through the new copier manual, then getting back with me.
02:26, Jam takes out page one of the manual and places it on Cryo's desk.
02:26, Cryoburner> No, that's page one. I don't need that page.
02:26, Jam whispers: That's the only page that was copied...
02:27, Cryoburner> Mary, where is page two?
02:27, Mary Lou> Sorry file not found.
02:27, Jam yells: YOU LOST IT?!?!
02:28, Cryoburner> Sigh... Mary, get Speeder in here.
02:28, Speeder> What for?
02:29, Cryoburner> Jam, you have to understand that I have a meeting with the copier company in five minutes, and need those copies now.
02:29, Jam> Quick! Get the spare copier out!
02:30, Cryoburner> Speeder, can you take care of Jam? He seems to be having problems with the new copier.
02:30, Jam> "Warning! Copier requires 10 minutes to warm up. Please wait..."
02:30, Speeder searches for a new label.
02:31, Cryoburner> I told him to read the manual, but he's not allowed to touch the original copy first, so he needs to make a copy of it.
02:32, Cryoburner> He tends to have issues with repeatedly jamming the feeder tray.
02:33, Jam> ...with Jam. Strawberry Jam...
02:34, Cryoburner> Mary, the tray seems to be covered with an unidentifiable jam-like substance that tastes like strawberries. Where's the replacement?
02:34, Mary Lou> Oh drat see it yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replacement
02:36, Cryoburner> Where is the axiom schema of replacement, Mary? I think that's what I'm looking for...
02:36, Mary Lou> The axiom schema of replacement states that if F is a definable class function, as above, and A is any set, then the image F is also a set.
02:38, Cryoburner> Hmm... This might take a while. Mary, where is the representative from the copier company? Is he here yet?
02:39, Neuzd> Speeder, if we want to get technical and consider that the limits of the galaxy are set by the datatypes in c, it's a box.
02:39, Cryoburner> If he's in the lobby, try to stall him. All this jam in the new copier might void our warranty.
02:39, Cryoburner> Oh great, he's here.
02:40, Jam> I'll go get him!!
02:42, Cryoburner> Oh, hey there Neuzd. It's nice to see you here. Let's sit down and have some crumpets while my colleagues finish setting up the copier.
02:42, Jam slides down the rail of the stairs, but hits a bump and falls off. He falls down fourty-four flights of stairs...
02:43, Cryoburner> If you see anything red and sticky on the feeder tray, it's most definitely not jam, but rather a copy of an image of jam.
02:43, Neuzd> Are there crumpets with jam, by thew way?
02:44, Cryoburner> No, we're all out of jam. There might be more downstairs.
02:44, Cryoburner> Mary, where are the crumpets?
02:44, Mary Lou> Crumpets are generally circular about 3 inches in diameter and about ¾ inch thick.
02:44, Mary Lou> Yes, instead.
02:45, Jam falls into a bin of crumpets.
02:45, Cryoburner> Oh, thanks. Yeah, must be them over there. I forgot what crumpets looked like.
02:46, Jam get up and see thousands of copiers, all busy copying.
02:47, Neuzd> I just ordered a pet xenomorph.
02:48, Jam> I want a pet gligar!
02:48, Cryoburner notices more jam running down the side of the copier, and once again quietly rolls it out the window when Neuzd is distracted by something else.
02:48, Neuzd> Same thing.
02:49, Cryoburner> Mary, where's the tea? WOuld you might bringing us some?
02:49, Mary Lou> A tea plant will grow into a tree if left undisturbed, but cultivated plants are pruned to waist height for ease of plucking.
02:50, Jam watches as a falling copier lands on another copier, causing all the copiers to EXPLODE!!
02:50, Speeder> Are you people drunk?
02:50, Cryoburner> Interesting, all our tea in the building it still fresh on the plant. Can we brew this?
02:51, Cryoburner> Mary, where's my brewer?
02:51, Cryoburner> Mary, I'm looking for the brewer. Where is it?
02:51, Mary Lou> Didn't I just tell you?
02:52, Cryoburner> No. No you didn't.
02:52, Mary Lou> What are you denying?
02:52, Cryoburner> I know you didn't tell me that.
02:52, Jam challenges Mary to a tea drinking contest.
02:53, Cryoburner> Jam, what are you doing back here? Do you have those copies yet?
02:54, Jam presents all 486909 pages of the manual to Cryo.
02:54, Cryoburner> You can't have tea, because I can't find the brewer. I suppose you could eat some leaves off the plant though.
02:56, Jam eats some tea leaves.
02:57, Cryoburner> Wait, are there a couple pages missing here? The stack looks a little short.
02:57, Jam> Oh wait, that was catnip...
02:57, Jam counts the pages... one, two, three, four...
02:58, Cryoburner> Where are page's two and three? Those are the table of contents pages. Without them, how are we supposed to find anything?
02:58, Jam> Mary, do you want some catnip?
02:58, Mary Lou> I have no idea.
02:59, Cryoburner> Hey, what happened to the original manual?
02:59, Jam> Mary, did you eat it?
03:00, Cryoburner> Hrm... It seems the copier representative left. I guess we don't need these copies after all.
03:01, Cryoburner> Jam, could you take this stack of copies to the recycling bin?
03:01, Jam dump the 486909 copied pages into the recycling bin, then takes that to the incinerator.
03:02, Cryoburner> Our new company motto implies that we're an eco-friendly company, so we don't want to look wasteful.
03:03, Cryoburner> What's the motto Mary?
03:03, Mary Lou> I don't know.
03:03, Jam> Motto: "We make lots of copies, then burn them!"
03:04, Cryoburner> You don't know the motto? What is it we pay you for?
03:05, Cryoburner> I don't think that's the new motto, Jam. They recently updated it.
03:05, Cryoburner> Mary was supposed to know it, but she can be so forgetful at times.
03:06, Jam> Mary, are you forgetful?
03:08, Cryoburner> Mary, what time is it? It had better be time to go home. I think the copier fumes are getting to me. Or maybe it was the crumpets.
03:08, Jam> Mary, did you 'forget' to respond again?
03:08, Mary Lou> It's more or less 3 am.
03:09, Cryoburner> 3 am? I'll consider that close enough, give or take a few hours.
03:09, Jam> It must be the catnip. I made some Strawberry-Catnip Jam.
03:10, Cryoburner> Mary, be sure to annotate any calls that come for me, then have Jam make copies of them.
03:10, Jam feeds the catnip Jam to Mary. Do you like it, Mary?
03:11, Cryoburner whispers: I think those were tea leaves Jam...
03:11, Jam> catnip tea!
03:12, Cryoburner whispers: More like tea jam.
03:13, Speeder> And I was thinking that suricrasian catnip was too strong...
03:13, Jam whispers: More like mango jam.
03:14, Speeder reading the logs realized how level 22 damaged Jam's mind.
03:15, Jam whispers: Horribly traumatized... :P
03:15, Jam yells: BUT I FINALLY FINISHED IT!
03:19, Jam whispers: Cryoburning Suricrasian Mango Catnip Jam Speed Tea is stronger...
03:22, Cryoburner whispers: It tastes something like tomatillos.
03:24, Cryoburner whispers: Did you know that tomatillos are also known as the jamberry?
03:24, Jam whispers: Tastes good with tortillas.
03:25, Jam> Mary, what is a jamberry?
03:25, Mary Lou> The tomatillo is also known as the husk tomato, jamberry, husk cherry, Mexican tomato, or ground cherry, although these names can also refer to other species in the Physalis genus.
03:25, Cryoburner whispers: Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
03:28, Jam> Tonight, we battle! With LEVEL 22!
03:31, Jam whispers: Speeder, what does spin do?
03:31, Cryoburner whispers: Chinese Lanterns are also in the genus Physalis.
03:32, Cryoburner eats a Chinese Lantern.
03:32, Speeder> With spin on, the ball... spins! And with spin off, the ball don't spin...
03:33, Jam> It doesn't curve or anything though...
03:33, Speeder> When the ball don't spin, it may get stuck on walls, when the ball spin, the behavior is more hard to understand
03:33, Speeder> Spin is not supposed to affect trajetories (in real-world the air friction cause trajectory change...)
03:34, Speeder> What it do is absorb speed, and also changes slighly the angle that the ball bounce
03:35, Jam> It seemed easier when I enabled spin... it slowed the ball down sometimes.
03:37, Jam> That, and letting the ball bounce horizontally, helped me finally clear LEVEL 22!
03:40, Speeder> Spin enabled, and horizontal bounce enabled, makes easier for experienced people, for newbies it is a nightmare.
03:41, Jam whispers: Until they find out about the green powers. The ones that let you [DFSR].
03:42, Jam> But for people who have never played before, the horizontal bounce can be extremely annoying.
03:43, Jam> I would think spin would make things easier, not harder...
03:49, Speeder> In fact, I am starting to think this too
03:50, Speeder> After some testing here, I am thinking in leaving spin turned on... I made the option to turn it off, when it had the behavior to suddenly make the ball super fast
06:24, 4616599 whispers: You really shouldn't let the ball do that with 486909 smoldering pages ricocheting all around the incinerator...
11:18, Cryoburner whispers: I thought we had that fixed last week. Where's the incinerator manual?
12:53, 4616599> Mary Lou, where is the incinerator?
12:53, Mary Lou> The burn barrel is a somewhat more controlled form of private waste incineration, containing the burning material inside a metal barrel, with a metal grating over the exhaust.
12:53, Mary Lou> The burn barrel is a somewhat more controlled form of private waste incineration, containing the burning material inside a metal barrel, with a metal grating over the exhaust.
12:53, Mary Lou> The burn barrel is a somewhat more controlled form of private waste incineration, containing the burning material inside a metal barrel, with a metal grating over the exhaust.
12:54, Kristos> Mary Lou, what is your problem?
12:54, Mary Lou> I bet I knew but I forgot that.
12:55, 4616599> Okay ML, so are you implying that we got a burn barrel? Why do I not know of this purchase, ML? Where is the manual of purchasing policy, ML?
12:55, Mary Lou> I don't know.
12:55, Mary Lou> I have no idea.
12:56, 4616599> Did you lose it ML? Cryo, do we have any spare copies of the manual?
12:56, 4616599> What manuals do you have, ML?
12:58, 4616599> Mary Lou, do you read me? Mary? Mary, are you there?!
12:58, Mary Lou> In a harddrive, in a folder, under the path '~anywhere/public_html/bb', of a machine called EZ17, locked inside one of many cubicles.
12:58, 4616599> What are you hiding, Mary?
12:58, Mary Lou> This information is classified.
13:00, 4616599> We exercise transparency here, Mary. Or is there something between you and Cryo I don't know about?
13:02, 4616599> I intend to purchase one of your copiers Mary. Your silence is affecting me.
13:02, 4616599> Are you there, Mary Lou?
13:02, Mary Lou> As long as enabled, I'm always here.
16:26, Skinnymon thinks to himself "'As long as enabled', eh? That could be taken care of, you know..." as he eyes a certain red button with a sign above reading "Mary Lou Power Supply- DO NOT TOUCH!"
16:28, Skinnymon whispers: 4.6M> Transparency? I worked in a Photocopy shop for a long time...we did lots of transparencies. :]
16:34, 4616599 whispers: Mary Lou, Skinnymon is much more efficient than you are, AI!. ML, are you hard at work, hardly working or just slacking? Do you work, ML?
19:48, Cryoburner whispers: Mary Lou hates you.
22:19, Jam> Mary, what do you do all day?
22:22, Jam> Mary, how are you feeling?
22:22, Mary Lou> I'm feeling lonely.
22:23, Jam whispers: I bet she misses Lexy too...
