04:13.41wildfiresorihey, more spore fans
04:13.50wildfiresorihi Grissess, whoever you are
04:15.36wildfiresoriare you part of the spore taxonomy project?
04:16.45wildfiresori:/
04:17.02GrissessOh sorry
04:17.10wildfiresoris'okay
04:17.11GrissessI was readying something about IRC
04:17.17wildfiresorioh
04:17.25Grissess(first time.)
04:17.34wildfiresorilol
04:17.38GrissessAnd yes, I am part of the taxonomy project.
04:17.46wildfiresoricool
04:17.51wildfiresorii just joined
04:17.58wildfiresoriim shafgirl on the wiki
04:18.04GrissessWell, congratulations! Any classifications yet?
04:18.15wildfiresoriuh, no, not yet
04:18.23wildfiresoristill trying to figure out how it works
04:18.27GrissessTrust me, some of them are harder than they look.
04:18.32wildfiresorii know a bit about earth taxonomy
04:18.44GrissessGood, quite a bit is the same.
04:18.48wildfiresorilatin names and all
04:18.56wildfiresorigood
04:19.05wildfiresoriexcept a bit different, im guessing
04:19.12GrissessYeah...I took french, but I still need the latin dictionary open.
04:19.39wildfiresorihttp://www.freedict.com/onldict/lat.html quick and easy way to find latin names
04:19.48GrissessThat's what I did.
04:20.01GrissessGIve me a second, I can find some of them...
04:20.25wildfiresorihey, what archetypes have you played as?
04:20.48GrissessThe Macookwee (see Content:Macookwee) is a scientist.
04:21.00GrissessMy username is based off of their "leader".
04:21.15Grissess(It was originally the chieftain of their tribe.)
04:21.48wildfiresorilol, looks like a stick figure
04:22.11wildfiresorii ought to take some pictures of my creatures, i made some cool ones
04:22.21wildfiresorimostly ones based off of things in real life
04:22.39wildfiresoricats, dragons, an annoying stuffed dog i have........
04:22.39GrissessAaaaahhh...
04:22.46wildfiresorilol
04:22.48Grissess(lol)
04:23.38wildfiresorii actually only have two saved games, the other creatures i made were just for fun
04:23.45GrissessHey, I found one of my taxons...Rotognathidae (radiostomes with circular mouths).
04:24.00wildfiresoriradiostomes?
04:24.31wildfiresoriis that some kind of worm?
04:24.31Grissess(under Hemiinsecta)
04:24.31Grissess(under CHordata)
04:25.08GrissessApparently not, I used it to classify the Trumpaht.
04:25.30wildfiresorilooks cool
04:25.38wildfiresoribut i thought i saw it on another user's page
04:25.44wildfiresorithey said they made it
04:26.03GrissessI don't know...I'm just the taxonomist :-)
04:26.12wildfiresorilol
04:26.30wildfiresorii ought to put pictures of my creatures on my userpage
04:26.39wildfiresorii'll do it later
04:26.59wildfiresorii don't want to stay up too late, i have no school tomorrow and im going to disneyland
04:27.09GrissessSo should I...my userpage consists of "Grissess's" little editorial on Terra.
04:27.18wildfiresorilol
04:27.24Grissess(And I do have school tomorrow, but I can sleep for four hours and feel OK)
04:27.51wildfiresorii've always wondered if there's some sort of mega hidden achievement for terriforming every planet in the galaxy to T3
04:27.56wildfiresorior at least T1
04:28.14GrissessI've never even heard of a mega-achievement.
04:28.31GrissessIf there is, Will Wright probably has it.
04:28.33wildfiresorilol, i used it to describe it
04:28.58wildfiresorii called it "mega" because it would be the hardest achievement to get, even harder than front page news
04:29.17Grissess"Front page news?"
04:29.35wildfiresorithe one where one of your creatures is on the spore website
04:29.47wildfiresoriwhich is practically impossible now, they never update it
04:29.58wildfiresoriwell, not the featured creature part
04:30.06GrissessWow...that would be neat...
04:30.26wildfiresorii saw some of the previews for galactic adventures on there, and it looks..........well........adventurous
04:30.46wildfiresoriit's probably the biggest expansion pack ever
04:30.58wildfiresorii mean, it's like adding a whole different stage
04:30.59GrissessYeah, I would get it just to get Grissess out of the spaceship; space just feels so impersonal...
04:31.40wildfiresoriBrachio would look very weird on land
04:31.47GrissessI've won the Omnipotent master badge, and I was hoping it would come with a giant fanfare, the immediate respect of all, a Saturday night party at my friends house...
04:32.13wildfiresorihe's a dragon--sorta--with four legs, but he also has two arms like a centaur
04:32.21wildfiresorii got the omnipotent thing too
04:32.22Grissess"Brachio"? Is that a content page?
04:32.35wildfiresorino, i haven't made a page for him yet
04:32.35Grissess(lol jostling questions)
04:32.41wildfiresoriim writing a story about him
04:33.02wildfiresorithat's actually where i got the name and the creature, i was writing a story about a dragon named brachio
04:33.17wildfiresoribrachio is latin for "arm"
04:33.39GrissessOh...I was going to write a user subpage entitled "Welcome to Earth"; it was going to be about having a look at Earth from the eyes of a visiting extraterrestrial.
04:33.51wildfiresoricool
04:33.58GrissessIt would, of course, be Grissess leading the tour.
04:34.15wildfiresorigah, my other game is supposedly right next to where earth should be, but i can't find it!
04:34.31GrissessAnd there would be something about the Roswell incident in there ("we've only had one accident so far...")
04:34.37wildfiresoriand yes, i've looked over and over at the guides to get to earth, im right there
04:34.46wildfiresorilol, roswell incident
04:34.52Grissesslol...My homeworld is in the right arm
04:34.58Grissess(for Earth)
04:35.10GrissessI colonized it, but it was too far away to defend.
04:35.33wildfiresoriit would be funny if someone made a creature that looked like the aliens described in the roswell incident, and they named it "roswell"
04:35.41Grissess(I put it across most of New York and Pennsylvania, lol)
04:35.45wildfiresorithere is a creature made by maxis that looks like an alien
04:35.50wildfiresorilol
04:35.51GrissessWhich one?
04:35.59wildfiresorii forgot the name
04:36.08wildfiresoristarts with an a or b........
04:36.08GrissessOhh...
04:36.17wildfiresoriis big and green and has a huge head
04:36.23GrissessCategory:Creatures
04:37.20wildfiresoriaw, yes, it's Alien Didi
04:38.00GrissessWhere?
04:38.20wildfiresorisearch "Content:Alien Didi"
04:38.55GrissessOoooh, neat.
04:39.26GrissessI should transfer the taxonomy information to the infobox, give me a second.
04:39.30wildfiresoriif you want, i can go onto spore right now and take a pictue of brachio
04:39.47wildfiresorii think i'll do that
04:39.52wildfiresoriwait about ten minutes
04:40.39Grissessthere
04:40.56GrissessAlien Didi's infobox is updated.
04:42.50GrissessCobi still hasn't gotten back to me on Wikpedia...I was planning to make a taxonomy program. Not the kind where it knows how to classify a creature (that's still your job), but that makes redundant edits easier.
04:43.55GrissessIt changes the infobox creature layout automatically, and updates the taxon page accordingly, adding new taxons if it doesn't exist. Maybe it'll have dropdowns to choose the taxons quickly.
04:44.39Grissess(Yes, I'm a programmer, in Python, and I'm hopelessly nerdy.)
04:45.34wildfiresoriok, took the pictures
04:45.36GrissessI'll probably start the project when I get to the other computer...stuff there doesn't change that often, I call it my home base.
04:45.46GrissessOh, pictures?
04:46.07wildfiresorii was taking a picture of brachio, and the original brachio that i was modeling him after
04:46.22GrissessOK, is it uploaded?
04:46.39wildfiresorisee, before i start a game, i make a creature that i want my creature in the game to look like, but they always look slightly different than the final form
04:46.54GrissessYeah, that was my goal.
04:46.56wildfiresorii'm uploading original brachio and brachio on my user page
04:47.26GrissessWhen I made the Macookwee, I choose the basic layout and, in one generation, lept from Cleptydon to Macookwee.
04:48.12GrissessI added parts, mostly for socialization (and it got me the Predator demeanor, lol), but I took them off before Tribal. I think it looks good this way anyway,
04:48.53GrissessThe one I uploaded is the space stage final form, but I don't have the creature final form, just the creature initial form.
04:49.38GrissessAnd the prototype I worked off of when I got the Creature Creator first (whose eyes are closer, neck is shorter and more curved; it looks alien to me now).
04:50.29wildfiresorihttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User:Shaf_Girl check it out
04:51.12wildfiresorilol, all my achievements are the easy ones
04:51.26wildfiresoriexcept for "rolling thunder", everyone seems to think it's hard
04:51.40wildfiresorithat's the one where you finish civ stage in less than an hour
04:51.53GrissessThat's what my Macookwee looked like at the end of creature stage. I took off all the extra ceremoniously, and it looks bare now.
04:52.07GrissessYeah, I probably got rolling thunder.
04:52.21GrissessAnd I got Spore Addict within four weeks.
04:52.40GrissessWhich is fast considering I only played it on the weekends...which means about eight days.
04:53.07wildfiresorii wasn't trying to do rolling thunder, but my last civ stage had been a complete disaster--an epic had attacked my city five seconds after i finished the tutorial--and i wanted civ stage done fast
04:54.04GrissessOnly one epic attack happened to me...I was economic, and bought about six cities, and allied with the rest.
04:54.34wildfiresoriyeah, i've had a few epic attacks after that first one, but i just wasn't prepared for it
04:54.37GrissessOne epic got onto southern Plasia (one of Goranov's continents). I put up a huge fight and won.
04:54.47wildfiresoriit taught me that when you have the spore guide, use it
04:54.58GrissessI take it your Brachio is an ecologist?
04:55.06wildfiresoriyep
04:55.13wildfiresoriso is my other creature, Baluga
04:55.19wildfiresorii didn't mean for it to be that way
04:55.32GrissessI had no idea about it.
04:55.36GrissessUntil I found this site.
04:55.42wildfiresoribut both got red on cell stage, blue on creature, and green on tribal and civ
04:55.51GrissessRBGG?
04:56.01wildfiresorisi
04:56.12wildfiresorigrrrrr, i need an accent over the "i"
04:56.14GrissessCarnivore, Adaptable, Friendly, Religious, Ecologist
04:56.19wildfiresoriotherwise it means "if"
04:56.26wildfiresoriuh.......oiu
04:56.31Grissess(Only in French, really.)
04:56.35wildfiresorithat's french, lol
04:56.48wildfiresorii can say "yes" in japanese, too
04:56.54wildfiresoriui!
04:56.59wildfiresoripronounced "oi"
04:57.21wildfiresorionly it sounds more like "uh-oi" murged together
04:57.31Grissess(Si means "yes" in a negative sense, like "Did you NOT finish your homework?" It's the one way French is clearer than English.)
04:57.45wildfiresorilol
04:57.59wildfiresorii can't believe i'm saying this, but i miss french class
04:58.01Grissess("Yes" could mean "Yes I did", or "Yes I didn't". The latter is "si")
04:58.27GrissessWhy?
04:58.28wildfiresoriour french teacher would practically tell us the answers to the test
04:58.36Grissesslol
04:58.37wildfiresoriand now, in spanish.......
04:58.49GrissessWere you forced into spanish?
04:58.52wildfiresoriour teacher relies totally on the book, and the book is........
04:59.00Grissessdull?
04:59.14wildfiresorisorta, it's better to know spanish in california, and i did sorta want to learn it
04:59.24wildfiresoriyes the book is dull, and it's.......
04:59.40Grissessdifficult?
04:59.53wildfiresoriit's like trying to understand the scrolls of life, but you only have scroll #1, 3, and 7
05:00.00Grissessincomplete?
05:00.00wildfiresorithey don't tell you the answers
05:00.03wildfiresoriyes
05:00.06wildfiresorivery
05:00.10wildfiresoriextremely
05:00.17GrissessExcept for the teacher book.
05:00.30wildfiresorias in, on the pages where you learn the vocabulary for the chapter, it doesn't tell you what the words mean
05:00.31GrissessThank goodness mine rarely uses the book.
05:00.39wildfiresorigrrrrr, lucky you
05:00.42GrissessWow, that's bad.
05:00.58GrissessI thought you just meant the exercises.
05:01.03wildfiresoriand it has a million typos in the dictionary in the back
05:01.17Grissessrofl
05:01.47GrissessWHo is morgoth 1145
05:01.49wildfiresoriit's not funny when you get a c in spanish and all your other grades are a+
05:02.01wildfiresorino clue
05:02.13Grissessyeah...well, I have the opposite problem, and I'm not even really into foreign language,
05:02.34GrissessAll the classess I like are hard.
05:02.47GrissessExcept for me, they're pretty easy for a geek.
05:02.57GrissessBut I have terrible work ethic.
05:03.04wildfiresoriah
05:03.09wildfiresorisame with my brother
05:03.18Grissess(Time management, organization, scheduling, ...)
05:03.43wildfiresoriand the teachers.........well, we have quite a managery of teachers at our school
05:04.14wildfiresorihistory is taught by a guy who would be much better off as a college professor, he lectures CONSTANTLY
05:04.22GrissessMine's somewhat local...our village still quilaifies as rural.
05:04.26wildfiresoriim not bothered by this, but the other students are
05:04.53GrissessThat;s not as bad as ours. Mine gives questions 1 and 2 of every chapter EACH NIGHT.
05:04.57wildfiresoriour english teacher acts more like an actress in shakespeare's plays
05:05.12wildfiresoriim not bothered by this, but the other students are
05:05.19GrissessAnd 1 and 2 always ask you to "define all of the (vocab/people) in this chapter"
05:05.33wildfiresoriour science teacher treats us like kindergarteners
05:05.46GrissessThat Medieval lord's chapter was heck.
05:05.52wildfiresoriim not bothered by this (she's how i learned my taxonomy skills), but the other students are
05:05.59Grissess(12 people, 1 sentence each)
05:06.22GrissessYeah, I have living environment, she's perfectly nice.
05:06.27wildfiresoriour spanish teacher looks like a day of the dead skeleton and doesn't know how to teach
05:06.42wildfiresorii, and the other students, are bothered extremely by this
05:06.55wildfiresoriour math teacher has the personality of a mad scientist
05:07.01GrissessThat reminds me of the project last year...
05:07.16GrissessI wasn't even spanish, and they foisted it on all of the French students.
05:07.16wildfiresoriim not bothered by this, and neither are my classmates, but some of the parents are
05:07.20wildfiresoriand that's the teachers
05:07.34GrissessDia des los muertos
05:07.43wildfiresoriQue?
05:07.52GrissessI had to make a collage, AND I didn't know a single word of spanish!
05:08.05wildfiresorisame here
05:08.07wildfiresorigrrrrrr
05:08.13GrissessExcept for 0-10, yes, no...yeah, that's about it.
05:08.37wildfiresoriwell, luckily, our "big" quarter projects where we have to make posters don't have to be in spanish, just about spanish culture
05:08.49GrissessWhat's worse, all of the students in sixth and seventh this year HAD NO CHOICE.
05:08.59wildfiresoriick
05:09.09GrissessThe seventh graders had too few french students for a class.
05:09.24GrissessThe sixth graders came when the sixth grade french teacher left for college.
05:09.49wildfiresorihey, have you heard of warriors? the book series about cats?
05:09.50GrissessAnd everyone is happy because they get an extra semester of spanish in.
05:09.58GrissessOH, and no.
05:10.13GrissessWarriors as an archetype?
05:10.19wildfiresorino
05:10.29wildfiresoriwarriors as in a book series not relating to spore
05:10.36GrissessI've never heard of a book series like that.
05:10.48GrissessThough I now people who would like it.
05:11.03wildfiresoribut anyways, there's a wiki on it, and on the forum, i asked what it would be like to have a spore-style warriors video game
05:11.27Grissess(Ahh, this Yahoo toolbar stuff is malware! Every five minutes: "Yahoo Toolbar is trying to install itself.")
05:11.43wildfiresoriit's a bit like gang fighting, complete with forbidden love, only they're cats in a forest, and they have claws instead of guns
05:11.50wildfiresoriand StarClan instead of heaven
05:11.54GrissessY'know, I can't find the "root forum"
05:12.15GrissessI see all of these forums, and I can access them directly or through links.
05:12.24GrissessBut I can't browse them.
05:12.42GrissessI couldn't even find my own (Forum:Galactic_map)
05:12.47wildfiresoriyou heard of watchmen?
05:12.59GrissessYeah, I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it.
05:13.05GrissessI hear it has raving reviews.
05:13.19wildfiresoricool, i thought everyone was saying it was stupid
05:13.26Grissess("Yahoo toolbar." AUGH!)
05:13.37wildfiresorithe author of the graphic novel it was based on even said he didn't like it
05:13.39wildfiresorijerk
05:14.04wildfiresorithere is a huge watchmen fanatic in my class
05:14.07GrissessI don't know, maybe he thought it was innaccurate.
05:14.19GrissessHow's (s)he like?
05:14.54wildfiresorifor superhero day, he came dressed as roscach or whoever the inkblot guy is, complete with hat, trenchcoat, and homemade mask
05:15.11Grissess*sudden lol*
05:15.27GrissessHey...what time is it there?
05:15.39wildfiresori10:15
05:15.47wildfiresorihttp://watchmen.wikia.com/wiki/Walter_Kovacs
05:15.49GrissessHa! 1:15
05:16.29GrissessRefraining from laughter.
05:16.36wildfiresorilol
05:16.43wildfiresoriim gonna make an article on Brachio
05:16.46GrissessGiggling on the inside.
05:17.06GrissessOK.
05:17.33GrissessHey, I have this IRC server written in Python. If I could get it to work (and it probably won't)...
05:30.30wildfiresorigtg
05:30.42GrissessIt didn't
05:30.51GrissessCan you try something, though?
05:31.00wildfiresorihttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Content:Brachio this is my brachio article
05:31.05wildfiresorisorry, i have to go now
05:31.12GrissessOK, bye!
05:31.17wildfiresoribye
