 SnackPak_:  paul
 e_bloc: The Paul game
kusinohki: a lot of board games could use a croupier stick...
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: Paul isn't Alex! Everyone else also isn't Alex! Except for Alex. Who isn't here.
 CaptainSpam: Alex has been exploded. 
 brainbosh: Today the part of Alex will be played by Paul
 SnackPak_: nice
kusinohki: #letpaulplay
  Juliamon: yesss
 Bruceski: This prop bomb that he made, right? It *is* Alex...
 jacqui_lantern234: halloooo
DigitalSeahorse: hehehheh
 Strebenherz: 
 James_the_Dabbler: That was very good
 e_bloc: A+
 MAPBoardgames: Bomb for Alex. What other objects would represent LRRs folk?
kusinohki: mission 29 of 66(?)
 MAPBoardgames: Beej as a jar of unguent.
DigitalSeahorse: there's also the LRR store with nice merch!
 KaleidoscopeMind: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/MistyCooperativeBarracudaWow-J1qKVgbjRGmGDgpE
 definenull: hello! everyone remembers how to play, right?
 Reduce_Sanity: Missed the last stream, have we skipped any missions apart from the first handful?
  Juliamon: No, we've been stuck on this one
 Reduce_Sanity: Ahhhh
kusinohki: I don't _think_ any missions have been skipped
 CaptainSpam: Generic Cartoon Animal™
 Snowcookies: oh right this is the gambling one
 e_bloc: Doing hints of what
kusinohki: does this bomb squad come from everdell or root??
  Juliamon: this is the "prediction markets were a mistake" one
 e_bloc: Sometimes the wrong move is the best move
  Juliamon: 
 definenull: oh right this mission
 Snowcookies: James descrcibed this game as Go Fish on GMM post-show
 e_bloc: It's 9s all the way down
 James_the_Dabbler: So they don't want to match the guess? Or they do?
  Juliamon: don't
 CaptainSpam: They do not.
kusinohki: what happens if the prediction is correct?
  Juliamon: It goes boom
 CaptainSpam: Then the boom-o-meter thingy in the lower-right ticks up one boom.
 e_bloc: Do you have a limited number of cards to choose from?
  LRRbot: If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Named clips with no autocaptions are preferred but not required!)
kusinohki: it looks like paul only has 4ish cards to choose from
 CaptainSpam: Each card is passed to the next player; the cards are only discarded when all of the specific number is found.
 Thatwasademo: iirc everyone has 2 cards and there's a ninth card floating around
 gualdhar: oh hey the rare Paul on stream!
 e_bloc: Interesting
 Thatwasademo: the remaining three are face down on the table to be drawn to replace eliminated numbers
 e_bloc: I mean isn't Paul technically on most streams
 CaptainSpam: Note that this prediction concept is only really in play for this scenario.
 Thatwasademo: yeah we've just been here a while
DigitalSeahorse: bad at prediction is good here   
 definenull: alternating between guessing correct (wires) and predicting wrong (guesses)
kusinohki: do they need to figure out what cards are in ppl's hands or is that just to help "pick a wire that person doesn't have a card for" ??
 KaleidoscopeMind: the second
 Thatwasademo: if you know what cards aren't in the hand to your right you know what's safe
 Thatwasademo: that's it

 e_bloc: Looking forward to the mission where you have to make correct guesses
 Thatwasademo: also if you know what wires aren't in the rack to your left then you know what cards are safe to use too
DigitalSeahorse: this game sucks at being a bad game
 e_bloc: Yeah I guess this rule makes you examine everyone's rack
 Thatwasademo: heyo
 e_bloc: Imagine a bomb that counts up, that would be disorienting

 IanAllenBird: o7
  Juliamon: well, so much for zero goats
 62MGcobra: thats one, hahaha
DigitalSeahorse:    
 TheMerricat: 🛄 Chat, just checking something weird, I noticed a button on my chat and clicked it. Do you see an emoji at the start of my message?
 NorthstarTex: o7
 e_bloc: But now we can make vindaloo
 MAPBoardgames: Darn it Writer Raven!
 SnackPak_: ooo fun
  Sarah_Serinde: oh dear 
 definenull: oh there are stakes!
 Snowcookies: ah they're back
 KaleidoscopeMind: oh no
 WriterRaven: @TheMerricat yeh
 CaptainSpam: Goat nooooooooo!
 TheMerricat: @WriterRaven TY!
 Strebenherz: I believe I have lost my bet on zero goats dying xD
 gsyhiap: So you can explode your tastebuds having exploded the rest of the studio!
 e_bloc: At least it's not a whole head of iceberg lettuce
 gualdhar: oh no, the stakes weren't high enough with getting blown up??!
 calculated_uncertainties: Bonus batsu? Oh my
 e_bloc: But what is the lemon for
kusinohki: someone blew up my steaks??
 gsyhiap: AAAA 
 calculated_uncertainties: 100 1 1 1 1 1
 CaptainSpam: Oh, right: The player avatars also change with whomever is the current captain (that is, Dale now has the captain card).
 definenull: 👀
 CaptainSpam: Yay avatars updated!
 Strebenherz: Keep it and charge them for the roll! 
DigitalSeahorse: put all the papers on the list, presuming the there is either paper to write a list on or a device to write it
 jacqui_lantern234: lmao cori yes
 jacqui_lantern234: do yall think if Cori started mining rocks and minerals, she would become "Quarryander Dickinson"? 
 WriterRaven: In the same way that if Matt began taming mythical beasts, he would become Matt Gryphons. =P
kusinohki: where's my pun jail emote?  could have sworn I had one...
 jacqui_lantern234: @kusinohki but why punish me for being funny?
 A_Dub888: ye
 definenull: dave's huge clump is super worrying...
 WriterRaven: @kusinohki You'll never catch me, kupo!
 Sorator13: RIP 2, you were a good one
kusinohki: 2 is dead.  long live 2
 jacqui_lantern234: @Sorator13 but it was a 2, making it a decidedly awful 1 
 Sorator13: @jacqui_lantern234 au contraire, a 2 is twice as good as 1 !
 jacqui_lantern234: @Sorator13 2 is twice as large as 1, but 2 isnt equal to 1 therefore a bad 1
kusinohki: 2^0 is a good one though...
 CaptainSpam: Meaning, when we get to the end, we need one spare tick on the boom-o-meter?
 jessicaengle: Hello bomb squad.
 Sorator13: I think when there's only one thing remaining to guess, the prediction stops? but I don't fully remember
 gsyhiap: That just means that Paul and Cori are functionally predicting for two people
 Thatwasademo: I believe when there's only one card left there's a special case to discard that card
 Sorator13: 
 jessicaengle: So wait, is there more than one bomb diffusing tabletop game?
kusinohki: probably
 Thatwasademo: yes
 CaptainSpam: Matt is now out of the game.
kusinohki: I remember a bomb disposal themed dice game
 chaostreader: wait. was the red on the tracker misrepresented?
 Thatwasademo: oh huh yeah that's 10.5 and hte marker is at 9.5
 CaptainSpam: Yeah, Dale's situation is QUITE bad.
 definenull: At this point just take the hit?
 e_bloc: Right?
  Sarah_Serinde: There used to be a red marker on 10.5. They took it away when Matt revealed his
 WriterRaven salutes General Radar
kusinohki: there's a game called "two rooms and a boom", but I've never played it.  I assume it's bomb themed...
 definenull: Viceroy!
 CaptainSpam: VICTROLA

 definenull: Oh no
 e_bloc: Almost halfway there
  Sarah_Serinde: I mean the last speed mission went well...
 e_bloc: I dunno they did crush the first speed mission
 definenull: Oh dear
 definenull: It's time for more atmosfesr
 Lysander_salamander: wow that's a cool scarf
 Snowcookies: oh is this a boss fight?
 Thatwasademo: oh boy a mysterious audio file linked by a qr code
kusinohki: audio file?  once again makes me wish LRR would play space alert...
DigitalSeahorse: 
 TheWriterAleph: ooh secwets =3
 Thatwasademo: hello bomb busters
 e_bloc: Secret podcast
 Strebenherz: 
 MAPBoardgames: Remember what?  I've forgotten!
 ContingentCat: Remember
 A_Dub888: The 5th of November?
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: I forgot.
 fcloud: i cant embark on the dangerous mission, i've got a weak heart
 e_bloc: Do we know who is on the next send codes
 Pal_Friendpatine: Dangerous Mission. Not for cardiac people.
 saintguard: I remembered to forget?
 Sorator13: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/EndearingIronicSharkWholeWheat-z0Hn9ce7sGbNZaJF
7 raiders from Foxmar320 have joined!
  Juliamon: Welcome raiders! We just finally beat the mission we were stuck on since last session!
 e_bloc: 321
 Sorator13: and having done so, we seemingly have unlocked Voice Acting
 Sorator13: so look forward to that
 Snowcookies: Might be a boss fight since last audio file was a boss fight too
 serramarkov: Congrats!
 e_bloc: Yes my gatekeeper
 NotCainNorAbel: stop, listen, be careful
 Pal_Friendpatine: Is that you, Morpheus?
 ContingentCat: Yes grapekeeper
 adept_nekomancer: Stop and listen.  Do we also need to collaborate?
 A_Dub888: Keep my Yesgater
 Sorator13: oh god
  r10pez10: lmao
 spethycakes: 
 NotCainNorAbel: The bus that couldn't slow down
 e_bloc: I like this reboot
 Pal_Friendpatine: Ooo do I get to meet Sandy B.?
 Sorator13: could turn the audio track volume down a bit, kinda hard to hear the players talk
 HadesLeprechaun: this is like that famous movie...Velocity
  Sarah_Serinde: oh boy
 Pal_Friendpatine: That movie… Go Quick, Don’t Stop
 gualdhar: so rude
 spethycakes: very rude
 Snowcookies: you already have a 7 cut so I think it's fine
 definenull: oh its half time
 Snowcookies: Boom!
  Sarah_Serinde: 
 hyralt: oh nooooo
 Sorator13: wasn't there a second chance thing, yeah
  Sarah_Serinde: oh no
 Thatwasademo: That's just the normal rule for replaying losses
 Thatwasademo: They shouldn't have written that paragraph on the card.
 Sorator13: 
  LRRbot: If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Named clips with no autocaptions are preferred but not required!)
 hyralt: Man, I want a jalapeno jelly bean
 Sorator13: I am enjoying the punishment aspect you've added
 Reduce_Sanity: I think it just means try again and go faster lmao
 definenull: try again! tip: have you tried playing faster?
 HadesLeprechaun: just trying to be a flavor way to tell you to try again
 Reduce_Sanity: In the immort
 TheWriterAleph: remember Morrie
 Thatwasademo: remember to reverse all advice you hear
 hyralt: One might say you died because you were going too fast
 e_bloc: Jokes on you, I'm going to drive the bus off a cliff
 SnackPak_: be better
 e_bloc: 
 Reduce_Sanity: 
 Sorator13: Thank you for being so helpful, Beej
 ArtDecoSunburn: So Beej is running tech?
 Thatwasademo: You want actual scenario-specific advice? Cut as many different wires as convenient so you can ignore cards more often
GrathXVI: That's why the numbers are drawn from the deck, Paul
GrathXVI: (but you can know that like, the second number is no punishment)
 Sorator13: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/InspiringAlluringCaribouRlyTho-ahQMJmtTIzZbx8mX
  r10pez10: !addquote (Paul) [Now] I've been promoted due to my incompetence! This is so unrealistic!
  LRRbot: New quote #9664: "I've been promoted due to my incompetence! This is so unrealistic!" —Paul [2026-09-03]
 SnackPak_: just in case
 WriterRaven: Matt is the new Mister Tiddlywinks? That's gonna be awkward in next year's Autumnal Rumble. =P
 HadesLeprechaun: these 'tips' seem to be very 'git gud, but faster' and not actually helpful tips, lol
 Thatwasademo: stop.
 WriterRaven: kabewm~
BraveOthello: Never Stop Blowing Up!
 Thatwasademo: losing two marks on double detectors is pretty rough
 e_bloc: Definitely not the kind of bus you're used to
 Thatwasademo: that bus can't go *above* 50 mph
  Juliamon: !venga
  LRRbot: Quoth the Raven: "BUS IS COMING"
 penemue_93: it has been speedb'd since like 1999 and nobody has known
 SnackPak_: who could it have been?
 e_bloc: Oh I just assumed whoever had the most blowups had to chug the lemon
 SnackPak_: o7
 WriterRaven: This kills the Matt.
 James_the_Dabbler: Oh I need that as an emote
 spethycakes: the face of regrets
 calculated_uncertainties: @James_the_Dabbler great idea
 e_bloc: We're killing so many Sandra's
 Vilun: triple detector should be unlocked
 Strebenherz: what's the goat death count at now?
  Juliamon: I think we're on 3
 Sorator13: I'm confused by the "this time nothing is win or lose" given the followup of "if you didn't do it, discard an equipment"
 Sorator13: I guess that isn't losing, exactly
 Thatwasademo: the "nothing" was the second card, the equipment loss was for the third card
 Sorator13: Ahh, okay
 HadesLeprechaun: wow, that's rude
 HadesLeprechaun: it seems like our bus driver hasn't figured out the 'get the bus to a plane or race track to get off of main roads' thing
  Juliamon: Maybe they aren't close to one
 e_bloc: Maybe we're on Martha's vineyard
 WriterRaven: \o/
 SnackPak_: 
 hyralt: let's gooooooooo
 Sorator13: 
 TheWriterAleph:   
 definenull: GG!
  Sarah_Serinde: 
 Snowcookies: Boss fgight complete!
 Pal_Friendpatine: New box get!!
 CaptainSpam: "Next up, the Even Bigger Badder Wolf."
 e_bloc: 
 Vilun: where was the other red wire?
 Twilight_Spark: mausAAA
 Sorator13: Radar got promoted, eh?
 hyralt: that is a beefy bear
 Thatwasademo: They get to pick any three of those (or double detectors). The captain still has to have just a double detector.
 Sorator13: yes, at least one person had to mark a tile
 bbblehh: Dale really does have an amazing narrator voice
 definenull: OOO
 Thatwasademo: OOO
 definenull:  wires
 A_Dub888: Stepped a way for a sec, did we stop the bus?
 Thatwasademo: In the unlikely event that one of the constraints is impossible with your opening hand, it seems like a good idea to pick that one so you can flip it facedown immediately
 Thatwasademo: We did stop the bus
 serramarkov: @A_Dub888 Bus was stopped!
 definenull: smooth jazz 
 A_Dub888: !chat
  LRRbot: Seriously, just never listen to chat.
 Snowcookies: sounds good
 A_Dub888: @serramarkov 
 Pal_Friendpatine: Honestly I loved how loud the bus audio was
 definenull: bomb explosion waiting room
 Thatwasademo: do we have overlay images for the new four character cards
 Sorator13: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/BrightSillyScorpionCorgiDerp-_4ntQ1If6d6H2i3k
 Sorator13: @Thatwasademo No
 Sorator13: Paul mentioned it
 Thatwasademo: That should be B, I think
 Thatwasademo: oh there you go then
 Thatwasademo: I think my reference source has A and B swapped
 WriterRaven: What's Matt's condition? It's not on the topdown.

 Thatwasademo: I found a ruling regarding stabilizer+red saying that you don't reveal it, but do announce it
 Thatwasademo: then it's on the other players to remember
 Thatwasademo: it's probably fine to reveal it though
 Snowcookies: no cheats totally
 Decaped: it's a cheat day.

 Strebenherz: no hesitation there xD
 Snowcookies: second fastest death this long game session
 Snowcookies: are those not expired?
 SnackPak_: peach or barf is the OG
 Thatwasademo: peach or barf?
 Snowcookies: do beans expire?
 WriterRaven: Beej wins!
 Thatwasademo: peach or barf!

 SnowBunSarah: I believe this is the condition known as "Being sane"
 WriterRaven: Or possibly "caring about other people".
 Strebenherz: @LoadingReadyRun 
   LoadingReadyRun: 🌹
 Sorator13: *Cori* can still cut someone else's wire, though, from the way that restriction is phrased
 Thatwasademo: You can use your rightmost wire as the source of a duo cut action, or include it in a solo cut, yes
 Thatwasademo: anyway: F
 Sorator13: F
 Sorator13: chat, I decided tonight was a "toast with butter, cinnamon, and sugar" night
