My 3rd level Barbarian CARTHAC has a THAC0 of 15. The giant troll has an armor class of 4. To hit the giant troll, I need to roll an 11 or better on a d20 roll. @discobot roll 1d20 ---

I don’t quite understand what this **discobot** is? Not a regular user? Some sort of automated user? If automated, we can trash him outside the Pit? ---

From what I understand, it’s an automated user from the Discourse system. It’s a piece of junk, if you ask me. Tripler HAL9000 has more personality than @discobot. ---

I take this as a compliment, thank you! @discobot, your mother was a toaster, and your father was a blender. I was going to start a cool thread with you, but you, but a 1987 Yugo Sport has more utility than you. Tripler My slide rule is more useful than you. ---

Seeing those reel-to-reel storage computers makes me think of something I’d like to say to @discobot, relating to a different brand of computer.

It can’t be bargained with . It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will _not_ stop, _ever_, until it can roll dice again. ---
