00:00.02Wormy_STOIn fact by posting that you've probably the cemented the meme even more
00:01.06MonetRefresh the page :>
00:02.44Wormy_STOPerhaps a dangerous astereoid is detected on the collision course at some point
00:03.00Wormy_STOAnd everyone prepares to deflect it
00:03.33Wormy_STONatural disasters will be interesting
00:04.11Wormy_STOI can't really think of any that might threaten the majority of SporeWiki civilisations beyond Tier 3
00:05.10Wormy_STOOh, natural Thunderbolts/Gridfire gravity waves maybe
00:05.35MonetOoh yes, seeing how nations' media react to these crises could also be fun
00:09.28Wormy_STOIs this Civ universe actually in or just the Cretaceous, or 65 megayears later?
00:09.34Wormy_STO*just after the
00:09.49MonetNo idea.
00:10.11Liquid_InkAlternate Universe Earth idea is bad.
00:11.05Wormy_STOI propose, on the grounds of my geological knowledge, that if it based 65 megayears later, the continents don't have to be a spitting image, they will be room for us to add a bit of artistic liscence
00:14.18Liquid_InkBAD
00:15.24Wormy_STOWell it could just be a Realities Altered universe, while we keep the Civverse differerent
00:15.34*** join/#sporewiki TekDroid (~TekDroid@CPE0026f31ad308-CM0026f31ad305.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com)
00:16.26Liquid_InkYes, have your alternate cretacious separate.
00:17.19Wormy_STOTbh. I don't mind the Cretaceous idea
00:17.38Wormy_STOThough I'm neutral to whether we change it or not
00:18.40Wormy_STOI probably won't be very active in it anyhow
00:18.51Wormy_STOI still need to catch up with Koldenwelt
00:19.50TekDroidI just thought of a hilarious idea with civverse: Civ5 mods. XD
00:20.08DrodoEmpirehur
00:20.25DrodoEmpireI thought about a Scifiverse or Fantasyverse mod for EUIV
00:20.29MonetI jsut got reminded by Ink's argument on the blog.
00:21.07MonetHaving a pool of species to choose from makes multi-nation species much more likely.
00:21.21TekDroidI'd tried some civ mods, but tech and terrain made it difficult.
00:21.35DrodoEmpireOf course, I'd need to know more about EUIV modding and code to attempt it; Making a massive, brand new map of the gigaquadrant would likely be the most painstaking part.
00:21.38TekDroidI think a pool makes the most sense.
00:22.57TybusenI've tried making Civ V mods for the Scifiverse, but graphics tend to be my downfall when making mods
00:23.00TekDroidIt should be limited, but allow some room.
00:23.10MonetBut I'm with Ink on the matter of location: I prefer the idea of an idnependant planet.
00:23.19TekDroidSame here.
00:23.24TybusenYes, I prefer using an independent planet
00:23.55TekDroidThen me have more creative room.
00:24.00TekDroid*we
00:26.26Monetgoodnight
00:26.52MonetActually not just yet
00:28.24Liquid_InkCould we reuse the name Deisna? Not the actual map of old Deisna, just the name.
00:28.38TekDroidI wouldn't mind.
00:29.24MonetI'm okay with it
00:32.13MonetAlthough maybe different nations have their own term?
00:32.22Monetcoz different languages

05:40.53Hachi__Hai
05:46.44Impawaybuni
05:47.14Hachi__hai Imp
05:52.07Hachi__Impaway: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Monet47/Potential_Civ_Universe_Revival Seen this?
05:52.22Impawaynot yet
05:52.59ImpawayIt's a good idea yeah
05:55.14Hachi__Once we get it set up, you gonna take part?
05:55.15ImpawayWe need to make it more serious though
05:55.20ImpawayObviously
05:55.22Hachi__Well yeah of course
05:56.39Hachi__What'd you mean by make it more serious?
05:57.50ImpawayRealism, y'know
05:58.08Hachi__Right
05:58.16Hachi__Yeah we're striving for realism
05:58.28Hachi__Well, not all of it but we're basing it off realist-concepts
06:14.02AeoRelist in the philosphical sense or in the "lol nothing good happens ebur" sense?
06:14.19AeoIn other words, do you mean Cynicism?
06:15.04Hachi__I mixed up the word for realistic you dum
06:15.45Hachi__As in actual geographic, scientific and chemical theory
06:15.47Aeook then
06:17.28Hachi__However there will be significant amounts of grimdark on my part of the fiction :P
06:17.34Hachi__Lotsa cynicism
06:19.31AeoSo it'll be pretentious, got it.
06:19.51AeoUnless you have a reason you plan to make it dark
06:19.59Hachi__Yes because you know a lot about pretentiousness
06:20.49AeoI know that making something dark just to make it dark is pretentious.
06:20.55Hachi__I do have my reasons to make it dark; I enjoy dark fiction
06:21.31AeoWhy?
06:22.28Hachi__Why not? I find World War II and any other progress of conflict more interesting than superhero tales
06:22.31Hachi__Superheroes always save the day; that's hardly a realistic output
06:22.47Hachi__Which is why I enjoy Man of Steel, lotsa dark and realistic output
06:23.59AeoIsn't grimdark just the opposite extreme?
06:24.52Hachi__It's right there in the name; grimdark, as in little to no good side to the situation or setting
06:24.59Hachi__And that is the setting I find the most interesting
06:25.17AeoBut that's not what reality is like.
06:25.32AeoMOST people in real life are good in most areas.
06:25.42AeoAnd things tend to improve over time.
06:25.43Hachi__Well no, of course not but it's a lot more grimdark than one tends to think
06:26.44Hachi__Like say, you got something awesome for your birthday, but people are still dying as you unwrap the paper, which took minutes to accomplish a fitting cover, in a matter of mere seconds.
06:27.22AeoAnd yet the welfare of people in general goes up over time.
06:27.39Hachi__If you say so, though I personally feel that welfare degrades
06:27.50Hachi__As do rights and meaning of morals
06:27.51AeoThis isn't a matter of what people feel.
06:28.14AeoThe welfare of a population is objectively measurable.
06:29.24Hachi__Tell that to Somalia :3
06:29.24Aeohttp://bost.ocks.org/mike/nations/
06:29.41Hachi__Anywho, I get what you're saying and yes it's true that the welfare for peoples does increase over time
06:29.57Hachi__But you're forgetting the fact that it *can* degrade
06:31.18Hachi__Anywho, I don't see what's wrong about making stuff grimdark
06:31.19AeoBut surely the exception isn't more "realistic" than the rule?
06:31.50Hachi__People tend to discard the exceptions while I take curiosity in them
06:31.57AeoWhat's bad is the bad taste bad things happening leaves in my mouth.
06:32.12AeoAnd I'm not alone in this.
06:32.28Hachi__And besides, isn't the modern world shaped on the deaths of others?
06:32.48Hachi__How many people have other people killed to get to this point in time?
06:32.59Hachi__As in, throughout the extent of human history
06:33.37AeoThat's a ridiculous argument. I could just as easily ask how many feats of perservearance or great achievments were needed.
06:34.44Hachi__True but I personally find war more interesting to study and observe
06:34.54Hachi__A lot more eventful
06:35.15Hachi__More eventful and thought-provoking
06:35.20AeoNearly every story in the world is about a violent conflict between two parties.
06:35.57AeoIt'd be a lot more refreshing to see stories about the KSRO.
06:36.20Hachi__Nobody wants to read a story about peace time
06:36.21Hachi__You always need the antagonist or the villainy
06:36.34TybusenEven peacetime stories have a conflict
06:36.47AeoKSRO stories do have conflict
06:36.53Hachi__And sometimes I enjoy the idea of that antagonism and villainy being subjective
06:36.55ImpawayHachi__: We could make a story revolved around political intrigue
06:37.04TybusenI personally have no problem with grimdark
06:37.23Aeoshoots a kitten.
06:37.25Hachi__Impaway: Oh?
06:37.28AeoWasn't that stupid?
06:37.33TybusenJust that if I read too much of it at once without a break, it'll drag down my mood for a little until I read something light-hearted
06:37.46AeoBecause that's what grimdark is to me
06:38.09Hachi__So needless violence then
06:38.17Aeoa picture of a man shooting a kitten, from which I, by definition, have nothing to gain... well, that's what pretentious darkness is like anyway.
06:38.38AeoI don't have a problem with "grimdark" as you'd probably define it... actually you did earlier.
06:38.44AeoLet me break it down.
06:39.00AeoI have no problem with a story JUST because a lot of bad things happen.
06:39.11TybusenGrimdark isn't people going around shooting kittens, it's more rather a featuring of the darker sides of society
06:39.20Hachi__^
06:39.43Hachi__That's not grimdark Aeo, that's needless violence
06:39.46Hachi__Needless violence can be included in the grimdark setting but it's not what drives the plot as it makes a stupid story
06:39.55*** join/#sporewiki Angrydroid (~Angrybird@c-71-202-21-217.hsd1.ca.comcast.net)
06:39.59AeoIf that's what Grimdark is, it could be used for good effect.
06:40.12TybusenThat's exactly it
06:40.47AeoI define "Pretentious darkness" as "A story that the author made dark just to make it dark or to make it 'realistic' whose darkness doesn't actually serve a legitimate function in the story."
06:41.15Hachi__lol tell that to Warhammer, whose story is pretty much fuelled on darkness
06:41.17AeoIf it serves the function of showcasing something wrong with society, it is satirical, a legitimate story function.
06:41.26TybusenPretentious darkness and grimdark are separate things. Generally, a lot of grimdark works reflect actual societal problems
06:41.40AeoTybusen: Yes, exactly.
06:41.55TybusenBad grimdark works will come off as pretentious, yes
06:42.08AeoAll pretentiously dark works are grimdark, but not all grimdark works are pretentiously dark.
06:42.13Tybusen^
06:42.18Hachi__Exactly
06:42.48AeoAnd I find the Zazane, DCP, and most of sporewiki's grimdark pretentious.
06:43.13Hachi__I'd like to see you try and do grimdark
06:43.29TybusenThe DCP is the Orwellian state incarnate and it's justified grimdark
06:43.46TybusenThe Zazane is a reflection of the problems of feudal societies and is justified grimdark
06:43.54Hachi__Yup
06:44.11AeoTybusen: I've never gotten any sense that there's supposed to be actual commentary there
06:44.51TybusenGrimdark and satire don't always have to necessarily argue a point, they can always be an exploration of a darker subject
06:45.29ImpawayAeo: Zazane are a warrior specirs
06:45.30AeoAlso, I wrote this: http://xhawk77x.blogspot.com/2013/11/angel-of-death-101-theres-no-other-way.html You might say it's not dark because there is a sincere and legitimately moral protagonist, but it is still about a 16 year old boy who lives in a universe full of mosters who devour souls in order to sustain them as a way of gathering sustanence. He is one of said monsters.
06:45.36ImpawayOf course they wre grimdark
06:45.44TybusenThe DCP isn't arguing for or against the Orwellian state but is an exploration of the Orwellian state
06:45.56ImpawayExactly
06:46.09AeoCommentary, by definition, comments.
06:46.33TybusenAnd satire doesn't always have to comment.
06:46.40TybusenIt can also explore.
06:47.08AeoI guess I would just ask: What do I gain by reading about a bunch of innocent people suffering?
06:47.41TybusenYou learn what causes these people to suffer and why, and it changes your view of society based on what you now know
06:47.41Hachi__Thought provocation and an enlightened gratefulness for what you have being two things
06:48.30Tybusen1984, one of the definitive grimdark works, stirred discussion about authoritarianism, especially Stalinist Communism in Russia
06:48.38AeoTybusen: That'd be legitimate. It'd also kinda contradict the spirit, of cynicism, because though nothign really good happens in the work, the work itself is meant to do good for the real world.
06:48.51TybusenGrimdark doesn't have to be cynical
06:48.59TybusenIt just seems that way because it's dark.
06:49.02AeoHow could it not be?
06:49.39AeoCynnicism is a belief that the bad in the world vastly outweighs the good, yes?
06:49.44AeoWell, it's more an attitude
06:49.51AeoBut if it were a belief, it'd be that.
06:50.05TybusenYes, but a grimdark isn't always written with a cynical viewpoint
06:50.26TybusenBecause another aspect of the cynical philosophy is that nothing that we do can change the bad in the world
06:51.04AeoWell by then, it's not really pretentious, and I have no issue with it.
06:51.07TybusenBut a lot of the prominent grimdarks like 1984 and Farenheit 451 were written with the intent of opening the audience's eyes to inspire change
06:51.38ImpawayUa
06:51.41ImpawayYa
06:51.59TybusenEven then, a grimdark written with the intent of exploring a dark subject is not cynical in intent, rather it's more investigative
06:52.01AeoBut the DCP doesn't really do that.
06:52.13AeoNot from what little I've read.
06:52.15TybusenThe DCP is an investigative grimdark, not an expository grimdark
06:52.35ImpawayHachi__: I kinda like the idea of Civniverse being an alternatice version of Earth
06:52.43TybusenExpository grimdarks are the ones that try to send a message through their dark portrayal of society, these ones are the ones like 1984
06:52.56AeoAll I know is this: Sporewiki's Andromeda is the story of a bunch of terrible people doing terrible things, and I don't care.
06:53.13TybusenInvestigative grimdarks are exploring the consequences of a certain point of view, it's up to the audience to determine whether it's bad or not
06:53.42TybusenAeo: Well then that's your opinion. That doesn't mean Andromeda is pretentiously dark.
06:53.42AeoAlso, I'd rather see grimdark satire self-contained.
06:53.42Impawayalternative
06:53.56Hachi__Impaway: I kinda don't, though I can see benefits to both
06:54.20TybusenWhat do you mean by self-contained?
06:54.25AeoBecause the dark tone of the finction universe bleeds into MY attempts to not be so pretentious.
06:54.37AeoThere's still all of those bad things happening over there.
06:54.40Hachi__Aeo: See, that attitude in itself is cynical
06:54.48Hachi__Because there are good parts to Andromeda and its setting and characters and you're ignoring them
06:54.55AeoLike what?
06:54.55TybusenThe dark tone of the other fictions doesn't have to affect your fiction
06:55.01AeoYes it does.
06:55.15TybusenThe TIAF is one of the most light-hearted fictions on the wiki yet it's associated with some of the darkest ones
06:55.25AeoAny time I'm anywhere near sporewiki, the bad taste of the DCP and DI is in my mouth.
06:55.29AeoThere's no getting it out.
06:55.50Hachi__There's themes of love, friendship, cooperation and other hopeful stuff to be found in Andromeda
06:56.11TybusenYou shouldn't ignore something just because it seems to have values you don't support
06:56.22TybusenIn fact, those are the things you should be paying the most attention to
06:56.44TybusenYou can't argue a position without knowing about the opposition
06:57.29AeoHachi__ It doesn't matter if it's as awesome as shackespere. Dark cancels out light. A work is exactly as dark as it's darkest element for the most part.
06:57.44TybusenThat's not necessarily true
06:57.45Hachi__"Dark cancels out light" wut
06:57.54ImpawayIsn't it "its" and not "it's"?
06:58.12Hachi__No it's "it's"
06:58.19AeoWell, it's mote about what's most in my immediate experience.
06:58.25TybusenNo, it's "its"
06:58.25Hachi__I find that light shines brightest when set in a dark environment
06:58.29Tybusen^
06:58.37TybusenWhat is light in total light?
06:58.54AeoAnd my empathy for DI and DCP's victims FAR outwiehgs any shits I could ever give about their struggles.
06:58.57TybusenA flashlight is much brighter at night than during the day.
06:59.22Hachi__Tybusen: No, it's "it's".
06:59.31Aeoshoots the grammar war.
06:59.45TybusenHachi__: "It's" would imply "it is", "its" is the possessive form
06:59.53Hachi__Anywho
07:00.19TybusenAeo: It's all and well that you sympathize with the DCP and DI's victims, but that doesn't mean you should ignore the DCP and DI just because their morals don't agree with yours
07:00.39Hachi__I find that light shines brightest in the grimdark setting which contrasts to the darkness that is hard to find in noblebright
07:00.44AeoI don't ignore them. I want to see those problems GO AWAY.
07:00.59TybusenWhy?
07:01.14AeoHachi__ But that only works if it's not SO dark as to render hope a delusion
07:01.42TybusenYou say that dark cancels out light, but in reality it's actually light that cancels out dark
07:02.01Aeo"Dark" and "Light" are analogies
07:02.26AeoTonal darkness and light don't necisarilly interact the same way photons do with space not containing photons.
07:03.03TybusenPoint still stands. In a grimdark, any glimmer of hope is far more powerful than in noblebright because of how much it contrasts with and cancels out the darkness
07:03.20AeoAnd as for why, it's because it's IMPOSSIBLE to take my mind off of them when I read.
07:03.41AeoTybusen: But in a truly pretentiously dark work, that hope is a delusion.
07:03.55TybusenWell, then don't get your trousers in such a twist over their apparently-inreconciliable morals
07:04.10Hachi__While fighting against the darkness is interesting and all, I find that it is dealing with the darkness as one of the more interesting aspects
07:04.11TybusenThen you're calling 1984 pretentiously dark.
07:04.14Hachi__And that is where the light shines brightest in the grimdark; amidst all the lack of hope and the daunting, imposing dark, there is something we can register as good in our eyes and minds
07:04.59Tybusen1984 has a famous example of delusional hope yet you say that pretentiousdark works are the ones with delusional hope
07:05.26AeoTybusen: If it were written in a time and place where it's satire was irrelevent it WOULD be pretentously dark.
07:06.06AeoThough I'm not sure such a time or place exists.
07:06.45TybusenWell, that's the thing, a lot of the grimdarks on the Wiki involve themes and values that are still relevant today
07:06.54Hachi__I find it amusing that you say you don't like the idea of cynicism and pretentious darkness yet when we talk about the good things to find among the bad you just ignore it and dismiss it, which is cynical thinking
07:07.27AeoI'll admit that not everyone feels the horrible taste I get when I watch bad things happening (not when I watch characters whose morals I disagree with. Learn the difference) but I do, and I know of at least one other person who does.
07:07.37AeoWell, who I think does.
07:07.46TybusenThe DCP is practically the Wikiverse version of 1984, its themes are as relevant as Orwell's
07:07.47AeoWho has some of the same peeves as me.
07:08.01TybusenIt's a double standard to say that 1984 is good but the DCP is abhorrent
07:08.23TybusenSince quite honestly the two are very similar
07:08.28Hachi__Jah
07:09.04Aeo1: 1984 came first, 2: 1984 already exists as of the DCP, making it redundant, 3: Don't get me wrong, 1984 DOES leave the same bad taste in my mouth, but there is use for one of it.
07:09.15TybusenTo say 1984 is a good grimdark because of its authoritarian themes yet to say the DCP is a pretentiousdark because it uses 1984 values is hypocritical
07:09.40AeoDCP is pretentousdark, if it is, because it doesn't have anything to SAY>
07:09.45TybusenRedundancy does not make a bad work
07:09.55TybusenAnd just because it doesn't say anything, doesn't make it bad
07:09.55AeoBut it helps/
07:10.12Hachi__"It could be worse for you."
07:10.14AeoBut having nothing to say removes that possible reason to exist.
07:10.28AeoHachi__ That's a stupid message I already knew.
07:10.38TybusenI'd echo Hachi__ and say that all grimdarks have that message.
07:11.25AeoI've only seen one work pull that off well, and it's also the only piece of media I've actually consumed that I would consider good grimdark: Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
07:11.32Hachi__ew
07:11.35Hachi__And that's one of the reasons I like grimdark
07:11.36AeoI've not read 1984
07:11.37Hachi__If I feel depressed or saddened, I go read up on a grimdark setting and makes me think "you know, I've been stabbed with a sword, but at least I haven't been stabbed with four."
07:11.54TybusenWhy are you saying that 1984 leaves a bad taste in your mouth if you've never read it?
07:12.10AeoWhen I contemplate what I do know about it, it does.
07:12.17Hachi__Wow
07:12.25TybusenThen read the actual goddamn book then
07:12.37Hachi__You're judging something you have no actual, first-hand experience with
07:12.46Hachi__That's just whoa
07:12.49TybusenDon't even try to judge grimdarks if you've never read 1984
07:13.28Hachi__You've just lost the right to argue against grimdark
07:13.37Hachi__Now I'm gonna go take a shower
07:13.42AeoBecause I've not read one specific example?
07:13.44TybusenIf the most grimdark experience you've had is Madoka Magica and you haven't even read a real grimdark, you've already lost the argument
07:13.51Tybusen1984 is THE grimdark
07:14.00AeoI've read YOUR grimdark?
07:14.16TybusenIt is, along with Brave New World and Farenheit 451, the codifying examples of the Western grimdark
07:14.22Hachi__You've not read the ORIGINAL grimdark
07:14.33Hachi__Now bbs
07:14.40TybusenIt's not MY grimdark, it's every well-read person's grimdark
07:14.41*** join/#sporewiki Liquid_Ink (65a55114@gateway/web/freenode/ip.101.165.81.20)
07:14.56AeoYOUR as in Hachi's
07:15.19AeoI've read and heard about the zazane.
07:15.20TybusenIt's not his grimdark, it's not my grimdark, it's THE ORIGINAL grimdark
07:15.43AeoI'm not arguing that all grimdark sucks.
07:15.57TybusenI know that
07:16.04TybusenYou're arguing that all grimdark on the Wiki sucks
07:16.06AeoI don't think I ever have with grimdark being defined in a way that would include 1984 and Madoka
07:16.27AeoThus far, I've not seen any on the wiki that doesn't.
07:16.44TybusenTo be fair, I myself I have not watched Madoka, but I will take your word for it that it is a respectable grimdark
07:17.00AeoI can see how someone who isn't bothered by the taste of innocent people suffering would like sporewiki stuff
07:17.42TybusenBut until you have read at least one or two of the three original Western grimdarks, I would say that you are not in a position to fairly judge grimdarks
07:18.04AeoWhich is why I havn't.
07:18.17AeoHere's what I know:
07:18.45AeoEvery Grimdark I've read or consumed has left a bad taste in my mouth, even the good ones. The good ones are defined by overcoming it.
07:19.01TybusenRead 1984
07:19.31TybusenA good grimdark is not defined by whether it provides real hope or not
07:19.34Aeo2: This also includes accidental grimdarks like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
07:19.43AeoThat's not what I meant.
07:20.09TybusenIn fact, 1984, Brave New World, and Farenheit 451 never actually show the protagonists overcoming the dystopia nor give any implications that they ever do
07:20.53AeoWith me, there is an intrinsic negative to ANY bad thing that happens, especially when it happens for stupid reasons. Good grimdark overcomes it by being entertaining enough to compensate.
07:21.26AeoOr by keeping it out of focus enough that I can avoid thinking about it.
07:21.30TybusenSo a good grimdark is where the sadism is entertaining enough to you to make up for the consequences?
07:21.48TybusenI think you've contradicted yourself again
07:21.53AeoNo, good grimdark is where SOMETHING is entertaining enough to do that/
07:22.21TybusenAnd the action and humor of the Wiki doesn't satisfy that, dark as it is?
07:22.29AeoMadoka is grimdark. That makes it worse. It is also a very inspiring, surprise-filled, and thought-provoking story.
07:22.57AeoTybusen: No one writhing on our level is competent enough to make up for the kind of dark the wiki indulges in.
07:23.08TybusenOuch.
07:23.37AeoNot me, not you, not hachi, not Xho, not Monet, not anyone on the wiki, or who'll likely ever join it.
07:23.50TybusenYou don't think anyone on the Wiki can write something thought-provoking
07:24.01AeoAnd that's fine, because we're all a bunch of teenagers who havn't been writing very long.
07:24.08TybusenGo talk to Xho
07:24.09AeoOnly for a few years.
07:24.22TybusenAsk for a discussion on what the Xhodocto really are
07:24.27AeoAnd it can't be thought provoking enough.
07:24.29TybusenGet back to me after that
07:24.46AeoThey're the enbodyments of the fact that the universe will end?
07:24.47TybusenIs it that it isn't thought-provoking or is it that you don't want to think about it?
07:24.59TybusenThere are many ways to interpret the Xhodocto.
07:25.03TybusenAsk Xho for a sampler
07:25.27TybusenSomewhere buried in the IRC logs was a some-hours long discussion about what the true nature of the Xhodocto are
07:26.18TybusenAre they the embodiments of the universe's transience? Or are they a complex demonic race capable of destroying universes? Or are they the manifestation of the force of nature itself?
07:26.59TybusenI think any well-written story will lead to readers questioning why things are the way they are
07:27.21AeoFor an idea of what "thought provoking enough" is: Madoka raises important questions about the nature of the call to adventure and the heroes journey. It also has a lot to say about utilitarianism, means justifying ends, and why people want what they want.
07:28.00AeoIt makes subversive commentary not only on Magical Girl Anime, but on the heroes journey itself.
07:28.19TybusenOkay
07:28.36TybusenBut a work doesn't have to make such overarching commentary to be good
07:28.52AeoBut it has to have something.
07:29.05TybusenSure, let's run with that
07:29.09TybusenWhat does the DCP say?
07:29.39TybusenIt discusses the consequences of the Orwellian state, and how being on the "good" side can change people's perceptions of you despite your "bad" traits
07:30.05TybusenThe DCP is a discussion of Orwellianism and the nature of the anti-hero.
07:30.43AeoI'll take your word for it.
07:31.15TybusenThe Draconid Imperium explores cultural posturing and the idea of "respect your elders, elders know best"
07:31.24AeoI was always under the impression it was a discussion of moral dissonance on the part of a bunch of writers on the internet who are too stupid to tell the DCP are villains.
07:31.33AeoNot you specifically.
07:31.42TybusenThe DCP is an anti-hero, not a villain.
07:31.52AeoBut I didn't realize guys like Monet and Xho knew the DCP was terrible.
07:31.59AeoWell, that's not quite right.
07:32.11TybusenWhy not?
07:32.17AeoI didn't realize they grasped that it was irredeemably terrible.
07:32.46TybusenEveryone knows that the DCP is terrible, but they are treated as good guys because they helped save everyone in the end
07:32.56AeoHuh.
07:33.05AeoI guess I didn't realize you got the joke.
07:33.09TybusenDon't you think that warrants discussion about the nature of the anti-hero?
07:33.14AeoWOrmy gave me the impression you didn't know.
07:33.28AeoYes, but keep it away from me who wants to write the Aeoneonatrix, k?
07:33.38TybusenOf course.
07:33.52TybusenWe've never been trying to force you to write grimdark
07:33.52AeoBecause what the Aeoneonatrix are cannot exist in the same universe as what Oceania is.
07:34.05TybusenYes, actually, they can
07:34.17AeoYou can't have a symbol of eternal hope in the same universe as an absolutely unsolvable problem.
07:34.38AeoEither the Aeoneonatrix are fools or the DCP is conquerable, and will one day be conquered or tamed.
07:34.46TybusenWell, first off, you have given the Aeons some dark qualities, so they're not eternal hope
07:35.03AeoBut there's hope for them to improve
07:35.06TybusenAnd the DCP isn't irredeemable either, since they have a sense of duty to the rest of the universe
07:35.47AeoBut the Aeoneonatrix only make sense if the DCP will, not just might, but WILL one day collapse or improve.
07:35.55TybusenAgain, you cannot view the world, especially not the Wikiverse, in blacks and whites. You have to views them in shades of gray.
07:35.56AeoEven if not for a long time.
07:36.06Tybusen50 shades of gray to be exact hur :U
07:36.23AeoNonsense. Greys are just different shades of black.
07:36.25TybusenThe DCP does collapse in some Multiverse futures
07:36.36TybusenIs grey a shade of black? Or is a shade of white?
07:36.49AeoThings and people only have good and bad elements. They only LOOK grey when you zoom out.
07:37.17AeoLike a screen made of black and white checkerboards where the bits are small enough.
07:37.19TybusenElements can be black or white, but they can also be grey
07:37.31AeoIt looks grey, but it's just a bunch of black and white.
07:37.42AeoAnd no they can't, not unless they are composites.
07:37.54AeoMurder has various aspects to it, so it might be grey.
07:37.59TybusenOkay, I will give you that in that moral ambiguities have aspects of both black and white.
07:38.38TybusenA man who performs a Mercy Kill on someone else, for example. Black in that he killed a person, white in that he ended his suffering.
07:38.48TybusenTherefore, grey, and open to interpretation.
07:38.56AeoBut the concept of a person dying, apart from any justice it might involve or good consequences it might have, is purely black.
07:39.15AeoThose positive consequences, isolated, are purely white.
07:39.23TybusenNot exactly
07:39.28AeoYes exactly.
07:39.42TybusenThe concept of dying cannot be isolated simply because of the many different factors it is entangled with
07:40.06AeoName one thing that has moral greyness which doesn't stem from a combination of good and bad elements.
07:40.17ImpawayAeo: You're quite arrogant, aren't you?
07:40.27ImpawayAeo: Living?
07:40.35TybusenI was never arguing that things can be simply gray and not black and white
07:40.36ImpawayHm
07:40.48TybusenI was in fact agreeing with you that grey is a combination of black and white elements
07:40.50AeoTybusen: I thought you were.
07:40.56AeoOk then
07:40.58AeoMy mistake
07:41.15TybusenMy Mercy Kill example was showing a grey attribute that, when broken, down, can be separated into black and white
07:41.48AeoYes.
07:42.04TybusenDeath is finicky, since death by itself is more vague than its more specific examples and cannot really be assigned a definitive black and white
07:42.21TybusenBecause all of the different circumstantial deaths that make up the concept of death itself render it grey.
07:42.34Hachi_AwaySo I come back from my shower and I feel personally insulted
07:43.36AeoHachi___ This discussion has shifted.
07:44.04Hachi___I don't write to appease you Aeo because I've seen your wiki writing and in no way does it compare nor make me think as much as Xho's or Imperios' own fiction
07:44.06Hachi___Yours is bland, dull and emotionless and I feel insulted that you have the nerve to state that I am an incompetent writer
07:44.23Hachi___As well as all these other people
07:44.28AeoI've not claimed to be better than you.
07:44.44TybusenYes, Aeo, don't criticize the other writers for inexperience when they have been here for nearly 5 times as long as you have
07:45.03Hachi___You claimed I was incompetent when you have some of the blandest pieces of crap on this wiki
07:45.21Hachi___You have no right to criticize me nor any experienced user here
07:45.21AeoYou know, if I put my all into the prose and such, I could do it a lot better.
07:45.39Hachi___But you don't
07:45.44TybusenThen why don't you put your all into it?
07:45.45AeoAlso, I can criticize professional level writers better than me.
07:45.47Hachi___You don't put in all your effort or prose
07:45.55Hachi___That is what makes you a crappy writer
07:45.59TybusenWhy publish it on the Wiki if you're not giving it your all?
07:46.02AeoTybusen: Because I'd release one section a month.
07:46.37TybusenIt's a bit insulting to me in fact that you have the nerve to criticize users that put their all into it when you claim to barely put in any effort
07:46.40AeoMY ALL would be going through several drafts and taking loads of outside input.
07:46.48TybusenThat's pretentious and arrogant
07:47.01AeoWhat? I've not said I'm better than them
07:47.15Hachi___You claimed incompetency
07:47.18TybusenBy trying to drag them down, you're essentially setting up for that.
07:47.20Hachi___That's really fucking insulting
07:47.28AeoOkay, let me be clearer.
07:47.52TybusenNo amount of spinning will change the fact that you called some of the Wiki's veterans incompetent.
07:48.08AeoNone of us compare to professional level writers.
07:48.16Hachi___I have had feedback on my work from multiple other experienced writers both on and off wiki
07:48.17AeoThat was my point.
07:48.19Hachi___It has been immensely positive
07:48.43TybusenAnd none of us claim to be professional writers, but that still doesn't give you an excuse to call us incompetent
07:48.54AeoI said no one here is competent ENOUGH to do something I regard as nearly impossible, that is, be so good as to overshadow sporewiki's darkness for me personally.
07:49.14Hachi___Then you're just a picky eater
07:49.21Hachi___And you have no right to claim incompetency
07:49.22TybusenWell, then that makes you an insufferable pretentious twit
07:49.37TybusenWho can't be pleased
07:50.05Hachi___Just because my theme of writing doesn't appease your standard you claim me as being incompetent
07:50.10Hachi___What sort of critic is that
07:50.23AeoThat's not what I said.
07:50.29AeoYou are not bad.
07:50.30Hachi___As a writer I feel personally disgusted by your statement
07:50.31TybusenA chef doesn't have to listen to a picky eater who doesn't like their masterpiece simply because they don't like the type of food
07:50.36AeoYou're just not good enough for a specific thing.
07:50.44TybusenThat's still insulting.
07:50.49Hachi___I'm out
07:50.52Hachi___I'm done here
07:51.03Hachi___I don't have to listen to this crap
07:51.15AeoYou're also not gooe enough to win a write-off with JRR Tolkien.
07:51.22AeoThat's not an insult to you.
07:51.25TybusenAeo, cut it with the put-downs
07:51.36AeoIT"S NOT A PUT DOWN>
07:51.44TybusenIt was phrased like one.
07:52.05AeoOkay, let me phrase it better.
07:52.12TybusenOf course we're not going to win a write-off with Tolkien, but you don't have to remind us about it
07:52.22AeoSporewiki is so dark, that only a professional level writer could make up for it.
07:52.31TybusenThat made it worse.
07:52.32AeoHow is that?
07:52.36Hachi___Why should we have to make up for it
07:52.52TybusenWhy should we have to compensate for your snobbiness in regards to the grimdark genre
07:53.03AeoBecause bad tasting darkness is an intrensic bad.
07:53.24Hachi___It tastes bad because you have no experience with it and you don't like it based on assumption
07:53.28AeoThat is, darkness which makes me feel sad at all of the bad things in a certain way.
07:53.49TybusenThe writers of Madoka aren't going to change it into some Lucky Star-style shit just because you don't like grimdark
07:54.04AeoI'm not asking them to
07:54.10Hachi___A genre which you have little to no experience with
07:54.11Hachi___And I feel insulted you'd compare one of my favourite genres of literature to a fucking Magical Girl anime
07:54.12TybusenBut that's what you're asking us
07:54.28AeoHachi___ Have you seen Madoka?
07:54.41AeoIt's insanely good and I was using it as a positive example.
07:54.46Hachi___I've seen enough Magical Girl to know I despise it
07:54.59Hachi___I have experience with it, you don't have experience with grimdark
07:55.04TybusenMadoka is not sufficient enough to compare to Western grimdarks
07:55.26TybusenYou absolutely need to read 1984 before you try to discuss the grimdark genre
07:56.00AeoFine then, But I get to say I Told you so when it's darkness turns out to do nothing but hurt it, okay?
07:56.24Liquid_InkAeo, your own opinion is not the quintessential truth of the universe.
07:56.29TybusenFair enough, just know you'll never end up saying "I Told You So" to me then
07:56.39AeoOr else when it turns out it was serving the story very directly.
07:56.45Aeolike in this: http://xhawk77x.blogspot.com/2013/11/angel-of-death-101-theres-no-other-way.html
07:56.58TybusenDon't use your own writing as an example
07:57.02Hachi___Idiot
07:57.28AeoAnd now the masters of misinterpretation think I just compared myself to Orwell in quality, don't they?
07:57.41TybusenYou have the nerve to say that you're not trying to put yourself above us yet you just provided your own work as a "good example"
07:58.10TybusenIt's when you pull shit like this Aeo that makes me real tired of your bullshit
07:58.22Hachi___You also have the nerve to then call the veteran Sporewiki writers incompetent
07:58.37AeoTHAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!
07:59.00Aeo"You cannot jump into fucking space" is not the same as "you are a bad athlete."
07:59.18TybusenYou're exaggerating now
07:59.19Hachi___So you're saying I can never compare to a professional writer?
07:59.40Hachi___When feedback on my writing has been largely positive?
07:59.42AeoHow... how... what in what I said even gave you that impresson?
08:00.01AeoAre you trolling me by deliberately misinterpreting what I say?
08:00.03TybusenYou're implying that none of us have the potential to be memorable writers.
08:00.08AeoNO
08:00.33TybusenYou said yourself that we won't compare to JRR Tolkien
08:00.48AeoAlright, here is my statement again, reworded for The Giver levels of percision of language.
08:01.12TybusenYou've at least read the Giver. That's a start.
08:01.42ImpawayAeo: Well, are you any better?
08:01.50Tybusen^
08:02.03Hachi___Somebody with a literature style as bland as yours doesn't deserve to call others out on not being "experienced"
08:02.04Hachi___It's the writing style I see in a goddamned Goosebumps book
08:02.20ImpawayI concur
08:03.01TybusenExcuse this biting criticism but quite honestly Nowuro Dreamdusk sounds like a name you'd hear in a bad fanfiction of a Japanese series
08:03.10Hachi___Or Twilight
08:03.14ImpawayWe aren't Tolkiens, but we are at the beginning of our path and have already made a lot
08:03.29TybusenTolkien was probably one of us when he first started.
08:03.30AeoThe persons on this wiki are all relatively inexperienced compared to people like Suzanne Collins, JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, George Orwell, or the guy who wrote Madoka. As a result, you currently cannot accomplish writing tasks that they can. This doesn't mean you never will be able to, it is just my making a realistic acknowledgment of our, not your, but OUR lacking skills at this exact moment.
08:03.34ImpawayIndeed
08:03.34AeoTHERE
08:03.39AeoMISINTERPRET THAT
08:03.43AeoI DARE YOU
08:03.44ImpawayYOU
08:03.51Impawayactuwlly nvm
08:03.52AeoI DOUBLE DARE YOU MOTHER FUCKER
08:04.00Impawaycalm down
08:04.00TybusenWatch it.
08:04.08Aeopulls a gun and starts firing randomly.
08:04.13Hachi___I don't know
08:04.14TybusenYou aren't Samuel L. Jackson
08:04.14Hachi___I reckon I could given enough time
08:04.15Liquid_InkWatch out. We have a badass over here.
08:04.41AeoAnd that refference was more about how frustrated I am
08:04.51TybusenImplying that the guy who wrote Madoka is on the same level as Tolkien and Orwell
08:04.55AeoNo
08:05.21AeoThose were a series of people who I thought could pull the relevent task off
08:05.31TybusenI bet one of us could write something at least better than Madoka.
08:05.34AeoNot all as good as each other.
08:05.38AeoNo.
08:05.45TybusenReally now?
08:06.12AeoReally. Many professionals don't reach that level.
08:06.20AeoMadoka is REALLY, REALLY good.
08:06.31Hachi___You don't even know the writer's name
08:06.34Liquid_Ink(Opinion)
08:06.35Hachi___What kind of example is that
08:06.36TybusenThat no combination of our talents and maximization of our efforts could top a Magical Girl Anime
08:06.47TybusenThat's really pathetic.
08:06.47Hachi___I feel even more insulted than before
08:06.50Hachi___I'm gone guys
08:06.53Hachi___I'm out of here
08:06.53AeoOf course I don't. I'm not good at memorizing names in general, let alone in other languages.
08:07.08Hachi___No, it just goes to show how unmemorable the writer is
08:07.26TybusenYou seemed to remember Orwell, Tolkien, Lewis, and Collins pretty well
08:07.33AeoGen Urobuchi is unmemorable?
08:07.36TybusenCollins isn't even considered one of the great Western writers
08:07.43AeoI knoe
08:08.14TybusenIf Madoka was a truly great anime, its writers would be remembered
08:08.22ImpawayWait
08:08.30TybusenWell, I take that back
08:08.31AeoHachi___ I'm not much of an Otaku, but I was under the impresson Gen Urobuchi is one of the kings of anime grimdark.
08:08.32ImpawayMadoka is an anime?
08:08.35Aeoyes.
08:08.43Hachi___Umm no
08:08.51AeoHuh.
08:08.55TybusenGen is a practical nobody in the anime world
08:09.14TybusenThe anime giants are Akira Toriyama and Masao name that starts with an H
08:09.17AeoWell Madoka is good. If you don't believe me, watch it.
08:09.27Liquid_Ink(Opinion)
08:09.36Hachi___Hajime Isayama is a rising star in the grimdark genre and he's had a shorter time around than Gen
08:09.38TybusenMasao that guy who made Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away
08:09.44Hachi___Because his stuff is actually grimdark
08:09.48TybusenHajime wrote Attack on Titan, right?
08:09.51Hachi___Yup
08:09.55TybusenSee
08:10.16TybusenI remember his name and quite a few others know it too because Attack on Titan is a decent grimdark anime
08:10.23ImpawayToo much Japanese *implodes*
08:10.25AeoBe honest, will you guys ever manage to like me so long as I disagree with yout?
08:10.31TybusenI'd bet AoT is a better example of grimadark anime than Madoka
08:10.35Hachi___Impaway: *improdes
08:10.54TybusenIt's not that you disagree with us, it's that you're being insulting and condescending
08:10.57ImpawayAeo: As long as you curb your ego
08:11.30ImpawayYou look down at us as if you were Dostoyevsky
08:11.31TybusenYour incredible egoism is the thing that stands between you and acceptance from the rest of us
08:12.02AeoI'm very confident in my positions. I'll admit that I can be egotistical in that one area and no other, but I really don't think I'm better than you, or that I'm the smartest person around.
08:12.13TybusenReally?
08:12.16TybusenReally now?
08:12.23ImpawayHachi__: dat extlemery lacist
08:12.36Hachi___Most writers here give creative  feedback rather than just plain state "you're never going to be as good as this professional so you suck"
08:12.40ImpawayAeo: You act as you do
08:12.53Liquid_InkYou've heavily implied it.
08:12.57AeoHachi___ You may well be that good one day.
08:13.05Hachi___Too late to compliment me now
08:13.06TybusenImpaway: why you tark rike chinee when we were tarking about japanee
08:13.19AeoI thought I made that clear as soon as you misinterpreted me the first time.
08:13.27TybusenThere's no real digging yourself out of this one Aeo
08:13.35TybusenYou're really digging yourself a deeper hole
08:13.50Hachi___Impaway: So does racism bring dishonour to famiry
08:14.05AeoI can see how someone could see what you inferred now that I think back, but that's not what I meant.
08:14.09TybusenAnd all that dirt that you're shoveling out is eventually going to come tumbling down and bury you.
08:14.57Impawayanyway, I'm out
08:15.08Hachi___Same here, got college
08:15.09TybusenI've perused the Internet a bit and while I've seen Madoka get a few mentions, it's hardly one of the big animes of anime history and pop culture
08:15.36TybusenIf you want grimdark animes, I think you'd need to look at Akira and Attack on Titan
08:15.43Hachi___And Berserk
08:15.48Hachi___My God, Berserk
08:15.57TybusenAnd Hellsing, am I correct?
08:15.59Hachi___Yus
08:16.01AeoThe way you talk about them makes me want to avoid them.
08:16.04Hachi___Well Hellsing Ultimate
08:16.12TybusenAnd Death Note, I believe
08:16.17AeoI've seen Death NOte
08:16.18Hachi___OH GOD DEATH NOTE <3
08:16.28Hachi___*KIRA
08:16.57TybusenNow that I think about it a lot of the modern animes that aren't DBZ, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, or Lucky Star are actually quite grimdark
08:17.01AeoIt never really occured to me that it was grimdark.
08:17.10Hachi___How could it not
08:17.18TybusenDeath Note is extremely dark.
08:17.21Hachi___Death Note is very dark
08:17.26AeoWell, the good guys both exist and win in the end.
08:17.31TybusenHell, it's written all over the title
08:17.55Hachi___Yeah but how many people had to die before Kira was discovered
08:18.01Hachi___You don't think about that
08:18.07TybusenI haven't watched Death Note myself but I know enough about it that the protagonist is by no means a good guy
08:18.22TybusenFrom what I remember he's kinda a dick
08:18.29Hachi___Big dick hur
08:18.30AeoTybusen: Yes, but there are unambiguous good guys. They're just not the POV
08:18.43Hachi___There are good guys but they hardly win
08:18.51Hachi___They win after years of so much death
08:18.51AeoNear wins
08:19.02AeoUnambiguously kicks Kira's ass.
08:19.04TybusenThe world from the viewpoint of who would traditionally be an antagonist. Pretty dark if you ask me.
08:19.14TybusenEven if there are good guys.
08:19.36TybusenHave you ever thought about the implications of a good guy's actions to the "bad guy"?
08:19.51AeoAnd L's death wasn't exactly a good part of the series, and not even primarilly because of how dark it was.
08:20.04Hachi___The main reason Kira lost was because the good guys had a child prodigy and Kira made a mistake
08:20.08AeoMore because L was fun to watch and near is boring by comparison
08:20.32TybusenWasn't L a massive dick?
08:20.37Hachi___L was kind of a dick
08:20.45TybusenOr was Kira the massive dick?
08:20.51Hachi___They're both dicks hur
08:20.55TybusenI know Death Note had a really big dick as a protagonist
08:20.59Liquid_InkEveryone is a massiv dick!
08:21.06Hachi___Anywho gotta go now, correge
08:21.13TybusenExcept Hachi. Hachi is massive WIIIIIIIIIIIIIENER
08:21.16TybusenDAMNIT
08:21.24TybusenGAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
08:21.27TybusenDAMN YOU
08:21.32Liquid_InkHurr
08:21.33TybusenDAMN YOU FOR LEAVING
08:21.34ImpawayDAMN HE REFT
08:21.37TybusenAHHHHHHHH
08:21.42Tybusenok im calm now
08:21.53AeoMaybe that's the measure of good Grimdark: You don't notice it's grimdark?
08:22.09TybusenGood grimdark can be noticeable or not
08:22.17Tybusen1984 is incredibly noticeable grimdark
08:23.13Liquid_InkJust because you do not like cynical stories does not mean they are bad by default.
08:23.19Liquid_Ink[17:56] <Liquid_Ink> Aeo, your own opinion is not the quintessential truth of the universe.

20:06.18OluapWorkerSanto took Kolossus to eat some cheese
20:06.37OluapWorkerPlot-twist, Kolossus is lactose intolerant

20:07.37MonetLooking at the quotes for Alcanti
20:07.58MonetGelt contemplated turning it into a shrine world a long time ago.
20:08.08Wormyphonehe thinks its disgusting and he would be right
20:08.28ImperiosAm I the only person here who likes tofu?
20:08.47SpuImperios: "Tofu cheese? TOFU CHEESE?! What in the name of the deepest depths of Tangent is that incomprehensibly gelatinous tasteless somewhat healthy mass of...whatever it is!? No!" - Santorakh
20:08.48ImperiosRoast it, add some soy sauce and presto, the most delicious food ever made

20:10.24OluapWorkerKolossus - i dunt hav an anus               Santorakh - ONE MORE ITEM TO MY TO-DO LIST
20:10.52SpuMonet: They employ Nu to destroy the Drakon statue

21:48.38TekDroidWow... "Canada's Worst Driver Ever" really lived up to this name in the episode I just watched...
21:50.16TekDroidThe guy was supposed to drive ~800m in a straight line at no more than 40km/h.
21:53.00TekDroidAfter hitting one of the car barriers at 60km/h and breaking off the mirror, he drove straight through a series of stacked rims and blew out a tire.
21:53.24TekDroidThe worst part? He considered that a pass.
21:54.05DrodoEmpirehur
21:54.59TekDroidWish I could find the video; it's ridiculous.
21:56.02TekDroidAnd all he had to do was to drive forwards in a straight line.
