| 00:04.03 | ALaggyPanda | Ko: they're still gonna go through, but that's cus there's no 100% magic resist shield |
| 00:04.23 | ALaggyPanda | and you sold the soul to one of the 90% shields, and you're too weak to use the other 90% shield |

| 00:07.47 | ALaggyPanda | go buy some gold pine resin from domnhall or something |
| 00:08.35 | dromlexer | gotta go and sleep |

| 00:09.34 | dromlexer | Good night anyway. |
| 00:09.37 | ALaggyPanda | I know, I'm just saying that 4Kings are weak to lightning or divine |
| 00:10.00 | ALaggyPanda | but now that you've spent a slab on it, just keep it normal and use gold pine resin |
| 00:27.15 | OluapPlayer | Bha i'll try again tomorrow |

| 00:27.46 | ALaggyPanda | :P |
| 00:34.12 | Monet | Loking at my recent work on DA, yeah, what the hell was I thinking? |
| 00:35.13 | Monet | Going into Architecture that is |
| 00:37.44 | Monet | http://spacer176.deviantart.com/art/WIP-Uriel-s-Longsabre-433041029 I created this tonight for instance |
| 00:41.43 | TekDroid | I like it. The gold part at the base of the blade is very interesting |
| 00:42.26 | TekDroid | And the handle is simple yet well done and appealing |
| 00:43.18 | TekDroid | That what you're looking for? XD |
| 00:44.28 | TekDroid | I'm joking of course, that was sincere. |
| 00:44.32 | Monet | Well...its more...I wonder how I got "architecture" from this. |
| 00:44.41 | OluapPlayer | Hachi_: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GIp-lOn0ls |
| 00:45.18 | TekDroid | ~test |
| 00:45.19 | infobot | extra, extra, read all about it, test is not funny |
| 00:46.04 | ALaggyPanda | Monet: I want to make a Skyrim curved sword joke but it's a sabre :P |
| 00:46.28 | Monet | Heh |
| 00:47.08 | Monet | The crossguad may be a bit ostentatious. |
| 00:47.21 | ALaggyPanda | depends, are you looking for a functional or ceremonial sword? |
| 00:47.23 | Monet | But the idea is Uriel uses this sword both for combat and showing off |
| 00:47.45 | Monet | Definitely fits the ceremonial criteria. |
| 00:48.05 | ALaggyPanda | in that case it works fine, since you can use the protrusions to catch an opponent's blade |
| 00:48.34 | Monet | Oh yeah... |
| 00:49.08 | ALaggyPanda | in fact it'd be rather effective as a ceremonial duelling weapon in my opinion |
| 00:50.02 | Monet | ...perfect for Uriel then |

| 00:50.21 | DrodoEmpire | Hey, everyone |
| 00:50.34 | ALaggyPanda | something about those dots makes me think you have doubts |
| 00:50.35 | Monet | I imagine he would have used this durng his visit to the Fordan Empire. |
| 00:50.37 | ALaggyPanda | something wrong? |
| 00:51.05 | Monet | Nah, i'm just surprised how ideal i've made the design. |
| 00:52.50 | OluapPlayer | Hachi_: and dis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHanNE1IcSU and dis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mElcgzq2Nm8 |

| 00:54.09 | OluapPlayer | dam |
| 00:54.21 | OluapPlayer | http://i.imgur.com/UyXQm3I.gif have it in gif form then |
| 00:54.38 | Hachi_ | ohgodlol |
| 00:54.39 | Monet | Might not be so good for battle but then again Uriel's also a fair marksman |
| 00:55.19 | OluapPlayer | And I just noticed Artorias on that gif |
| 00:55.50 | Monet | One thing that I might have not shown in the Andromeda War or the Borealis War is that Uriel's still a modern fighter. He's not always the type to rush into battle with a sword glinting in the sunlight. |
| 00:56.13 | OluapPlayer | Norrigan - y da fuk not |

| 00:56.50 | Hachi_ | That's Dragon God hur |
| 00:56.51 | Monet | Uriel - Coz I'll get shot to pieces before I get close |
| 00:57.14 | OluapPlayer | I came across some Mushroom Kids when I went to kill Sif |
| 00:57.16 | OluapPlayer | They're cute hur |
| 00:57.23 | ALaggyPanda | Monet: for a general combat sword I'd suggest more of your typical longsword, but ultimately the choice is up to you |
| 00:57.37 | ALaggyPanda | longswords tend to be better against armour and all |
| 00:57.51 | OluapPlayer | Give Uriel a zweihander hur |
| 00:58.02 | Monet | OluapPlayer: He already has one |
| 00:58.03 | ALaggyPanda | also, sad moment: I just realised Hel' can't use the hand-and-a-half grip ;-: |
| 00:58.08 | ALaggyPanda | ;-;* |
| 00:58.19 | OluapPlayer | when dis happen |
| 00:58.49 | Monet | Zewihander = 2-hander in German. |
| 00:59.05 | OluapPlayer | I'm talking about Dark Souls' zweihander |
| 00:59.12 | ALaggyPanda | Monet: it also refers to a specific set of designs for a two-handed swrod |
| 00:59.14 | ALaggyPanda | sword* |
| 00:59.21 | ALaggyPanda | almost everything in the european era was two handed |
| 00:59.52 | OluapPlayer | Then again something like a zweihander would look like a regular sword in the hands of something as big as a draconis |
| 01:00.21 | Monet | Draconis-scale Zweihander. Problem solved |
| 01:00.25 | OluapPlayer | hoh |
| 01:00.33 | OluapPlayer | He starts bashing people into the floor with it |
| 01:00.33 | OluapPlayer | raep |
| 01:00.48 | OluapPlayer | ALaggyPanda: This reminds me, how good are Taurus/Capra weapons? |
| 01:00.56 | OluapPlayer | I got them when I went to the Deemun Ruins |
| 01:00.58 | Monet | http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/364/9/f/german_zweihander_by_eblackmore-d362obd.jpg one kay aspect that I see in making a sword a Zewi: Those two prongs. |
| 01:01.15 | ALaggyPanda | prettymuch |
| 01:02.28 | ALaggyPanda | the ricasso and guard is one of the distinctive features of the blade |
| 01:02.35 | OluapPlayer | panda dam u |
| 01:02.46 | ALaggyPanda | OluapPlayer: Not very |
| 01:02.49 | Monet | Well if it helps, WoW Marcos walked around with a weapon like that. |
| 01:03.06 | Monet | So Koldenwelt Marcos would have the same weapon |
| 01:03.11 | OluapPlayer | baw |
| 01:03.26 | ALaggyPanda | Monet: If there is no hand-and-a-half grip involved I'm gonna b mad :3 |
| 01:03.32 | OluapPlayer | http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130722224825/darksouls/images/d/d8/Zweihander_IG.png he uses dis then |
| 01:03.36 | OluapPlayer | minus the girl |
| 01:05.42 | ALaggyPanda | actually I suppose the ricasso wouldn't have the thermic effect, so Hel' could in fact use the grip |
| 01:06.02 | ALaggyPanda | but no half-swording with regular longswords, which is sad |
| 01:06.42 | Monet | http://blog.8bitlibrary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/destiny.jpg this is the sword WoW Marcos had |
| 01:07.06 | ALaggyPanda | sees sharpened ricasso |
| 01:07.07 | ALaggyPanda | NGH |
| 01:07.41 | ALaggyPanda | other than that it looks fine |
| 01:08.03 | ALaggyPanda | in fact, with a proper ricasso, it'd be more effective than the dark souls version |
| 01:08.33 | Monet | Brace yourself... http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080604111748/wowwiki/images/c/ca/Zweihander.jpg THIS is a vendor-level "Zweihander" in WoW. |
| 01:08.47 | OluapPlayer | Not big enough |
| 01:08.51 | OluapPlayer | http://i.imgur.com/PJ6z7lG.jpg?1 how do you fuck up this badly |
| 01:08.51 | ALaggyPanda | not the worst thing ever, but not a zweihander |
| 01:09.12 | ALaggyPanda | OluapPlayer: This is not ordinary stupid. This is advanced stupid. |
| 01:09.41 | Monet | Wrong crossguard, no ricasso and the blade is too fat. |
| 01:11.28 | OluapPlayer | http://puu.sh/6O43Q.jpg |
| 01:12.28 | OluapPlayer | http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/693/971/89a.jpg Obama you silly creature |
| 01:12.41 | ALaggyPanda | more like no crossguard, no ricasso and a really badly shaped blade |
| 01:13.20 | Monet | No surprise its a vendor weapon. |
| 01:13.31 | ALaggyPanda | I also can't see the weight being well distributed on that thing |
| 01:13.43 | ALaggyPanda | *gaming swords* |
| 01:13.45 | OluapPlayer | Hachi_: A bunch of Facepunchers helped playtest the newest Postal 2 update. As a thank you gift, the devs added photos of various Facepunchers into the game |
| 01:13.52 | OluapPlayer | Including postal's ass |
| 01:14.12 | Monet | In terms of quality, its the kind of equipment a fermer would by to desperately protect their crops. |
| 01:14.19 | Monet | farmer* |
| 01:14.44 | Monet | That more proper Zwei I linked is more worthy for adventurers. |
| 01:17.25 | ALaggyPanda | fun fact: flat faced hammers are primarily made of an element called dumtanium |
| 01:17.54 | ALaggyPanda | http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120305235242/elderscrolls/images/3/32/Daedricwarhammer.png This hammer is actually more dangerous swung the other way around |
| 01:17.58 | ALaggyPanda | as in point first |
| 01:18.24 | Monet | More inertia per square inch? |
| 01:18.39 | OluapPlayer | https://31.media.tumblr.com/87046c251cccca1284b7f738adc83e11/tumblr_n0of3jDd5O1qcgnxeo1_500.jpg |
| 01:18.55 | Monet | Is this the same logic of the morningstar over a club? |
| 01:19.16 | ALaggyPanda | yeah prettymuch |
| 01:19.30 | ALaggyPanda | same force, much smaller impact zone |
| 01:19.36 | ALaggyPanda | and with a spike you get good penetration |
| 01:19.54 | ALaggyPanda | 9/10 Hachi_ s recommend greater penetration |
| 01:20.06 | ALaggyPanda | OluapPlayer: Yes |
| 01:20.30 | Monet | Drawing up the Andromedan Highlords. |

| 01:20.53 | Monet | I feel that in this current pic there's a bit of wing envy when comparing Tyraz and Uriel. |
| 01:21.04 | ALaggyPanda | that hammer shatters inside you, you're gonna feel it |
| 01:21.12 | Monet | Fucking OW |
| 01:21.17 | ALaggyPanda | Monet: I look forward to seeing it |
| 01:21.32 | Monet | Not entirely visible its just... |
| 01:21.55 | Monet | Uriel being a Draconis who can still fly, he has folded up giant wings. |
| 01:21.57 | ALaggyPanda | Monet: I meant the picture of the highlords |
| 01:22.04 | ALaggyPanda | not just the wing envy |
| 01:22.27 | Monet | Zazane if i recall have rather diminutive wings, only for show these days |
| 01:22.32 | ALaggyPanda | one scary thing about Taric though: one of his abilities involves shattering the gemstones on his armour, sending razor shards flying out in all directions |
| 01:22.45 | OluapPlayer | https://24.media.tumblr.com/06cea6d12583060a8dd09bb9af3b10cf/tumblr_n0laui6Lx01qzer4fo1_500.jpg <3 |
| 01:22.48 | ALaggyPanda | now imagine him slamming his hammer into you, and shattering the gems on the end |
| 01:23.06 | OluapPlayer | Hachi_: http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/7694/j8wo.png |
| 01:23.47 | ALaggyPanda | so eah |
| 01:23.48 | Monet | I say wing envy because its pretty damn clear even at the sketch stage - and with Tyraz's wings open and Uriel's closed - who has a much greater wingspan. |
| 01:23.50 | ALaggyPanda | pain |
| 01:26.54 | ALaggyPanda | Monet: I wonder, if you ever have the time, do you think you could have a go at drawing Hel'? |
| 01:27.36 | OluapPlayer | http://tigerlilytoph.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cat-king.jpg i am king |
| 01:27.45 | Monet | Sure. I'd love to! |
| 01:28.13 | OluapPlayer | http://i.imgur.com/7MbjWtY.png what kind of slang is this |
| 01:28.32 | ALaggyPanda | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Hel%27Bre%27K_Ce%27So%27Va#Blademaster.E2.80.99s_Armoury This has a small novel written on what his armour looks like |
| 01:28.49 | Monet | OluapPlayer: Sadly, i have heard that term |
| 01:29.02 | OluapPlayer | Speaking of novels |
| 01:29.07 | OluapPlayer | git going with that Clothovera thing |
| 01:29.19 | ALaggyPanda | I will do that tonight when I have the spare time to |
| 01:29.36 | ALaggyPanda | haven't been able to the last few days, but I'll have time tonight |
| 01:30.32 | OluapPlayer | Now I came across this, apparently there's an animal shelter where children read books to cats |
| 01:30.40 | OluapPlayer | I'm literally choking in cute |
| 01:32.09 | OluapPlayer | http://i.imgur.com/8ycedJx.png I read this in a thick russian accent |

| 01:37.07 | ALaggyPanda | Monet: Reading through my description of Hel's armour, I realised two things |
| 01:38.18 | ALaggyPanda | one, not a big enough bevor, and two, it was an alien snake that was the first opponent considered cowardly or shameful enough to get the Ce'So'Va treatment |
| 01:38.27 | ALaggyPanda | of all things, a snake |
| 01:38.35 | ALaggyPanda | that wasn't even planned |
| 01:39.07 | Monet | Eh? |
| 01:39.18 | ALaggyPanda | you know, snakes are normally associated with treachery and all |
| 01:39.41 | ALaggyPanda | and Ce'So'Va have a very particular way of dealing with enemies considered to be cowardly or dishonourable |
| 01:39.41 | Monet | Right right |
| 01:40.33 | Monet | Well goodnight. |

| 01:42.24 | ALaggyPanda | surprising amount of force in that |
| 01:42.47 | ALaggyPanda | I think Hel's page is 50% describing his armour |
| 01:43.15 | OluapPlayer | A naked guy then parries and backstabs him then goes "Well what is it" |
| 01:43.50 | ALaggyPanda | Hel' gets back up and wrecks him |
| 01:44.01 | OluapPlayer | He ain't a Giantdad to do dat |
| 01:44.49 | ALaggyPanda | He taught the giantdads |
| 01:44.55 | ALaggyPanda | OnlyAfro is secretly Hel's apprentice |

| 04:51.05 | Angrybirds | AdmiralPanda : What did he say? |

| 04:51.26 | AdmiralPanda | I was wondering what he was referencing |
| 04:51.48 | DrodoEmpire | A page refering to lancers' tactical usefulness during the first world war |
| 04:52.07 | AdmiralPanda | fair enough |
| 04:52.10 | DrodoEmpire | I should have mentioned. :P |
| 04:52.36 | AdmiralPanda | which reminds me, in addition to Clothovera's Furry Fantasia (don't ask) I should start writing the ANZR and ANZAC pages tonight |
| 04:53.28 | DrodoEmpire | Though reading the entire article, it was more of a awkward diatribe then anything else; It pretty much devolved (at several points) into shitting on the Isreali and Canadian Militaries and then abruptly back to the usual shitting on the lancers. :P |
| 04:55.35 | AdmiralPanda | lol |
| 04:56.11 | AdmiralPanda | I get the feeling the ANZAC military is going to be highly mobile, relying on small unit tactics wherever possible as opposed to mass operations |
| 04:56.23 | AdmiralPanda | and certainly avoiding getting stuck into a land war |
| 04:56.30 | AdmiralPanda | or trench war is more accurate |
| 04:56.38 | AdmiralPanda | no trenches, trenches are bad |
| 04:57.22 | Angrybirds | "which reminds me, in addition to Clothovera's Furry Fantasia (don't ask) I should start writing the ANZR and ANZAC pages tonight" - DO EEEEEEEEEEEEEET. |
| 04:57.40 | AdmiralPanda | I know, I haven't been able to use my computer much |
| 04:58.09 | AdmiralPanda | and before you say anything, I'm at work right now, can't write fiction |
| 04:59.46 | Angrybirds | Got it. The French relies a lot more on mechanized/armored maneuver warfare than anything else. |
| 05:00.28 | Angrybirds | Their tanks are on the light/fast end of the spectrum, even their MBT, the Ulysses, which sacrifices armor for mobility. |
| 05:01.24 | AdmiralPanda | We don't have the numbers to pull mass operations, so most of what we do is covert |
| 05:02.03 | AdmiralPanda | if we have to go face to face we'd rely on manoeuvre and positioning to make the most of any force multipliers we can get our hands on |
| 05:04.08 | Angrybirds | Before they developed the Ulysses and C-40 light tank to be used in conjunction, though, they were using the venerable C-39, a small and fast MBT. It wasn't quite a line tank, but it wasn't quite a light tank either. |
| 05:05.13 | Angrybirds | It's advantage was that it was fast enough to perform flanking attacks, and sturdy enough to act in the line of battle. |
| 05:05.23 | Angrybirds | But it wasn't great at both. |
| 05:05.50 | Angrybirds | Which is why the French then developed the C-40 and brought in the Roreinians to develop the ulysses. |
| 05:13.28 | AdmiralPanda | Most likely the Australians will have developed their own dedicated light tank, and outsourced for a line tank |
| 05:19.33 | Angrybirds | That makes sense. Once the C-40 goes on the market, we'll be competing. :P |
| 05:20.03 | Angrybirds | I'm debating whether or not I should have France's reservist infantry ride around in VAB armored transports or VLRA trucks. |
| 05:23.46 | AdmiralPanda | I'm not sure the Aussies would sell their scout tank, I think they'd want to keep it a trade secret |
| 05:25.33 | AdmiralPanda | also, I've decided that being able to drive across the bottom of the ocean is an intended feature of the F-22 LAV |

| 12:13.25 | Monet | Hi |
| 12:15.30 | Monet | I came up with an interesting idea for an explaination on how governments and coprorations are reacting to terrorism and media piracy respectively. |
| 12:15.50 | AGamingPanda | oh? |
| 12:16.14 | Monet | A teacher got shot at with a spitball, so he punishes the entire class by chaining their left hands to the edge of their desks and having them stay in class through lunch. |
| 12:16.58 | OluapWorker | Punishing the whole for a single person's actions is dum |
| 12:18.04 | AGamingPanda | but effective, if the whole can act on the one person's decision |
| 12:18.08 | AGamingPanda | the problem with the world is that we don't care |
| 12:18.33 | AGamingPanda | in a classroom, the rest of the class is going to find the person who shot the spitball and beat the living crap out of him, so he won't do it again |
| 12:18.53 | AGamingPanda | and nobody else will act up out of fear of the same happening to them |
| 12:18.58 | AGamingPanda | in the world, however, that just doesn't happen |
| 12:19.42 | Wormy | My whole class woud get introuble if the purpatrator didn't admit ty did it |
| 12:20.04 | AGamingPanda | same with mine |
| 12:20.27 | Monet | Maybe not the enitre world. |
| 12:21.08 | Monet | But take Islamic terrorism - i've seen reports that most muslims LOATHE America's treatment over them afer the actions of what, thirty extremists? |
| 12:22.04 | Wormy | Well, its the selfish we have to blame. This bin down the road from me was contantly knocked over by druns r fillked with house wste. So the council stopped fixing it |
| 12:22.19 | Monet | But the thing about all this is...its all an overreaction IMO. |

| 12:23.33 | Monet | The world's "most serious terrist attack", 2000+ people died yess but how did it affect America? One devestated city block and one damaged office. |
| 12:24.20 | Monet | Terrorists 'aint going to be destroying America anytime soon with a strategy like that. |
| 12:24.59 | Wormy | I think the community needs to take more action for itself. Like how in Benefit Street,ntye locals blocked off the road with rubbish the council refused to pick up |
| 12:26.04 | Monet | In regards to online piracy, it only takes one person to crack a copy and distribute it to somewhere like MegaUpload or ThePirateBay and within two months thousands of people have a pirated copy |
| 12:28.25 | Monet | Most "pirates" are Googlers. |
| 12:28.29 | Wormy | I think there was an over-reaction in terms of privacy invasion and fear mongering in regard to terrorism |
| 12:29.42 | Monet | Terrorism - as its name suggests - its purpose is to generate terror. And I don't know about you but all these increased airline restrictions and immigration policies along with the anti-terrorist outcry does hint people are scared. |
| 12:31.06 | Wormy | I think the policies of national security in regards to terrorism is so wide it can ge used and abused to frame peope as terrorists |
| 12:31.41 | Wormy | Or pass laws nobody would have accepted before... |
| 12:32.12 | Monet | I'd say that lobbyists cause more lasting damage to a country than terrorists, depending on what they're lobbying |
| 12:33.05 | Monet | And I suppose Panda's comment that in a class a misbehaving student would have the crap beaten up out of him afterwards still applies for Islamic terrorism. |
| 12:33.36 | AGamingPanda | except the rest of Islam isn't really actively shutting down the extremists |
| 12:33.45 | AGamingPanda | while they may not support it, they haven't really worked against it either |
| 12:36.06 | Monet | ALso I'd say the idea of "winning a war against terrorism" is like saying "we shall abolish the concept of rebellion" |
| 12:37.48 | Monet | ALso all these reports of car bombs in Iraq - I think its more an attempt for locals to say "go away Americans" than an actual desire to see the USA collapse. |

| 12:48.24 | Monet | As a psychologist, I don't like this. |
| 13:10.02 | Monet | Wormy: This looks lik a promising article http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/02/05/everquest-next-landmark-alpha-interview/ |
| 13:10.56 | Monet | EverQuest Next's devs have been talking to alpha testers like part of the team and not fans or paying customers |
| 13:11.44 | Monet | "And again, despite the rough shape of Landmark over the weekend, the official forums and Georgeson's Twitter feed have been populated with largely positive and supportive feedback—I even saw a player recommend that the dev team go to bed instead of getting the servers back up." |
| 13:12.54 | AGamingPanda | that seems like negative feedback to me |
| 13:13.03 | AGamingPanda | "go to sleep, we don't want the servers up" |
| 13:13.50 | Monet | I saw it as "go to bed, we can see form your twitter comments you're working hard" |
| 13:14.13 | Monet | "We cansee hwo hard you are working os we don't mind if you al ltake a break" |
| 13:15.11 | OluapWorker | http://www.destructoid.com/arkham-origins-progression-blocking-bugs-won-t-be-fixed-270256.phtml this is a cancer on gaming |
| 13:16.37 | Monet | The article suggests that EQN's dev teams are keeping alpha players up to date on what's going on in the office. |
| 13:17.44 | Monet | Reminds me of the time EvE's servers were temporarily disabled not too long ago - EveE's devs mentioned that the server shutdown was caused by snow getting into the server rooms. |
| 13:18.50 | Monet | The post was inundated with well-wishes from players in staff clearing out the snow and restarting the servers. |
| 13:20.57 | Monet | Compared to this post Oluap gave - no explaination why WB are putting priority on DLC over fixing the game. |
| 13:21.35 | Monet | So everyone assumes "WBs want more money" |
| 13:22.42 | OluapWorker | What else can you assume |
| 13:22.46 | OluapWorker | They're ignoring game-breaking glitches in favor of developing paid DLC |
| 13:23.25 | Monet | Makes me glad I didn't buy it |
| 13:23.45 | Monet | It sounds lkie there's been a real performance drop between City and Origins |
| 13:36.15 | AGamingPanda | Monet: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Australia-New_Zealand_Republic#History Can you give me an opinion of this? |
| 13:39.46 | Wormy | Cool |
| 13:40.12 | Wormy | Lol the black claw is in suggested articles |
| 13:42.01 | Monet | IBest part is probably what happened to Austrailia in the 2010s-2050s |
| 13:42.33 | Monet | A very good example of the populace finally taking power away from the corrupt and selfish party-centric political scheme |
| 13:44.02 | Wormy | Speaking of successions. I'm wondering whether to write Scotland successfully splitting from the UK causing a chain of events that splits North and South Britain between the Fjord League and the European Union |
| 13:44.21 | Wormy | Later on |
| 13:46.21 | Wormy | Test |
| 13:46.48 | Monet | I watched the first episode of the new series of Top Gear |
| 13:48.23 | Monet | The climax still has me sore in the sides - a police chase against three 80s hot hatchbacks with the police side ringing out lifting electromagnets, toy police cars with dynamite, military power lifters, mine clearance vehicles and a tank. |
| 13:49.52 | Monet | Its like Saints Row 3/4 on television. |
| 13:50.45 | Wormy | Ll |
| 13:51.09 | Wormy | I liked the episode where they drove a train, and it caught fire |
| 13:52.45 | AGamingPanda | I liked the episode where they were driving a car that literally fell apart as they drove it |
| 13:55.05 | Monet | Spriggs: This thing? http://thumbsnap.com/s/Qg97Nrs7.jpg |
| 13:55.42 | AGamingPanda | I can't remember, they were talking about a particular manufacturer with a reputation for making cars like that |
| 13:56.19 | Monet | All thesevehicles in the police chase were sprayed with police ocloured with the acronym TGPD on the side |
| 13:56.25 | Monet | or in some cases, the crane |
| 13:58.36 | Monet | I get the impression the "XXPD" trope is an American phenomenon |
| 13:59.00 | Monet | Over here the shorthand for the London Metropolitan Police Force is "The Met" |
| 14:00.58 | AGamingPanda | we don't really say anything PD, we just say the police |
| 14:01.03 | AGamingPanda | anyway, I'm off for the night |
| 14:01.09 | Monet | Okay |
| 14:01.34 | Monet | http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5a/Police.car.1.arp.750pix.jpg ywah, looking at British or English police cars, they don't have any real distinguishment. |
| 14:02.13 | Monet | They might have the logo of the local police department, but the name of the department itself appears ot be kept to a minimum |
| 14:07.55 | Monet | Also I just found out something else about British and AMerican police cars |
| 14:08.30 | Monet | Britic police vehicles vary widely in company of origin - Volvo, BMW, Volkswagon, Fiat, Ford, etc. |
| 14:08.53 | Monet | In america, most police vehicles come from largely American companies. |
| 14:11.04 | Monet | I always wondered why Americans treated cars like a BMW as "exotic", especially since there is a BMW factory not too far from where I grew up. |
| 14:14.34 | Monet | Makes me wonder now the sorts of campanies that build buses in america |
| 14:14.56 | Monet | In SOuth England most buses appear to be the product of Mercedes-Benz |
| 14:31.19 | Wormy | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trentbarton Derbyshire buses |

| 15:51.13 | Tek0516Droid | Katar can't really do much. |
| 15:51.35 | Angrybirds | I'm not sure if there is any way they could get involved. Aside from the Drodo Empire, they'd just be hunkered down and hoping not to be one of the sectors being blown up. |
| 15:51.42 | Wormy | Maybe they have their own conflict? |
| 15:51.53 | Angrybirds | *looks at Tek* |

| 15:53.08 | Tek0516Droid | Katar is stalemated several years behind |
| 15:53.51 | Tek0516Droid | And any Katarian conflict ends up getting dragged along after the first half, then skipped past the later sections |

| 17:19.39 | monet_ | Its a slow game. |
| 17:20.34 | dromlexer | And risking a long grind into an pile of ash in no time. |

| 17:23.35 | monet_ | I think you're exaggerating |
| 17:24.02 | monet_ | I think a titan - one of the most powerful ships in the game - is worth something like $9000 |

| 17:24.38 | monet_ | I forget |
| 17:24.43 | dromlexer | Hm. |
| 17:25.31 | dromlexer | Anyway, I heard a ship (Supercarrier) worth of billions in in-game currency were flushed in a toilet in no time. |
| 17:26.20 | dromlexer | Maybe not fast, but long time of grinding in a toliet. |
| 17:26.51 | monet_ | I think $1 = ~60,000 ISK |
| 17:26.58 | monet_ | 60 million, rather |
| 17:28.01 | monet_ | Eve's ingame currency - due to the ability to buy a special game time card both ingame and in real life - has intrinsic value |

| 17:30.12 | monet_ | The guy who lost that ship lost an equivilent of $8,000. |
| 17:30.37 | monet_ | But that figure only exists because of the exhange rate created by the PLEX system |
| 17:31.27 | monet_ | So he lost 280-330 billion ISK, which equates to roughly $8000 |
| 17:32.11 | monet_ | But he didn't lose any real money himself, unless he was either buying PLEX in stores and selling the card ingame. |

| 18:41.06 | Wormy | Gorf and his magic stick |
| 18:41.07 | dromlexer | Gorf is happiest Grox ever. |
| 18:41.36 | Xho | Gorf isn't a Grox hur |
| 18:43.58 | dromlexer | ikr, just joked as he's very similar to the grox in physical appearance |
| 18:44.15 | Xho | Aye |
| 18:44.46 | Imperios | CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP |
| 18:45.16 | Xho | WHY WHY WHY WHY |
| 18:45.44 | Imperios | I pointed to the "Purity of the Russian Race" VK group that they spelt "Race" group |
| 18:45.54 | Wormy | I still think we shoulr have a North Korean fiction which just mastered the atom bomb, while the rest of humanity chucks around antimatter and hypermatter bombs |
| 18:45.59 | Imperios | And now they seem to be visiting my user page |
| 18:46.03 | Imperios | In VK |
| 18:46.22 | Cyrannian | What's VK? |
| 18:46.30 | Imperios | Russian Facebook |
| 18:46.58 | Imperios | Call me paranoid, but that kind of attention I definitely do not want |
| 18:47.10 | Imperios | These goddamn Neo-Nazis are dangerous |
| 18:47.28 | Imperios | *that they spelt "Race" wronf |
| 18:47.32 | Wormy | Why talk to them? |
| 18:47.33 | Imperios | wronf |
| 18:47.35 | Imperios | wrong |
| 18:47.54 | Imperios | Wormy: I stumbled at their group and saw that they spelt "race" wrong |
| 18:48.09 | Imperios | I couldn't stop myself hur |
| 18:49.19 | Wormy | Loo |
| 18:49.23 | Wormy | Lol |
| 18:49.44 | Wormy | Well I got into an argument with a load of fox hunters on facebook |
| 18:50.29 | Wormy | It escalated tothe pub being boycotted by animal rights groups |
| 18:50.43 | Wormy | Since it caused a storm of arguments |
| 18:52.14 | Wormy | test |
| 18:52.56 | Monet | Wow |
| 18:53.45 | Wormy | Monet I captured screenshots of the argument, I might upload to show you |
| 18:54.00 | Wormy | Not today I'm on my tab |
| 18:54.52 | Imperios | Hm come to think about it |
| 18:55.45 | Imperios | The guys I met seem to make fun of Neo-Nazis actually so MAYBE it is not that bad |
| 18:55.48 | Imperios | Just |
| 18:55.53 | Ghel | Hello. |
| 18:56.06 | Imperios | Forget that I ever said a thing about that incident |
| 18:56.20 | Wormy | Hi |
| 18:56.33 | Monet | Most of the internet arguments I get into are against fundies, anti-communists or American supremacists. |
| 18:59.24 | Monet | So in short for some odd reason I keep arguing with "i'm right you're wrong" types |
| 19:00.25 | OluapPlayer | ew, arguing on the internet |
| 19:00.27 | Ghel | Is that because you're this kind of person? http://xkcd.com/386/ |
| 19:01.23 | Monet | Maybe I dunno. |
| 19:01.41 | Monet | One guy recently was complaining about how universal healthcare isn't the answer. |
| 19:01.46 | Wormy | I get into those arguments with creationists |
| 19:01.58 | OluapPlayer | You're wasting your time |
| 19:02.32 | OluapPlayer | Imperios: You done with your homework yet |
| 19:02.42 | Monet | Due to the recent US Affordable Care Act driving doctors to work overseas because as he put it, "performing medical work for free in the US risks you your medical lisence" |
| 19:02.42 | Wormy | Of course geology is a gooid line of attack, but also my knowledge of epimestology and falsification |
| 19:03.23 | Ghel | Geology is the very reason that young-earth creationism was completely abandoned by the scientific community. |
| 19:03.25 | Wormy | The internet should be a medium of not only creativity but criticism and debate |
| 19:04.06 | Monet | Its kinda surprising how many Americans vocallyprotest against socialist healthcare, yet many americans *don't have* medical insurance. |
| 19:06.21 | Wormy | I feel like making arguments with fear mongerers taking advantage of the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in the US |
| 19:06.37 | Monet | This guy's logic was -> ACA is socialist medicine -> ACA's clampdown drives out doctors who work for free -> Therefore socialist medicine is bad |
| 19:06.41 | Imperios | Monet: Racists and homophobes, for me |
| 19:06.56 | Wormy | Making silly claims that Calinfornia's beaches are a radioactive wasteland |
| 19:07.30 | Monet | I remember there was media sensation that radioactive material from Fukoshima had somehow gotten into the Thames. |
| 19:07.37 | Imperios | Especially the latter |
| 19:07.51 | Imperios | Sacrebleu |
| 19:08.16 | Wormy | And laiming they are victims. I think they should meet real victims of nuclear disasters, like the people of Chernobyl |
| 19:08.18 | Cyrannian | I don't see the point in arguing with people over YouTube, it's not like these arguments end with both parties accepting the other's point and moving on. |
| 19:08.35 | Imperios | I seriously question if the human species deserves the moniker "sapiens" |
| 19:09.14 | Imperios | Homophobes are especially stupud |
| 19:09.23 | Monet | If the radiation from Fukoshima cannot get as far as the USA and still be hazardous, how does it affect the Thames in London? |
| 19:09.32 | Wormy | Of course we deserve it Imprios, because we have the ability of debate |
| 19:09.44 | OluapPlayer | ~kick Imperios |
| 19:09.44 | infobot | ACTION kicks Imperios |
| 19:09.45 | OluapPlayer | bah |
| 19:09.50 | Imperios | One of them really claimed that all homosexual art the Greeks produced is fake and a product of gay conspiracies |
| 19:10.05 | Imperios | *the Ancient Greeks |
| 19:10.14 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: Almost |
| 19:11.17 | Wormy | I think its a sign the education system needs improving, as well as people's attitudes to it |
| 19:11.26 | Imperios | Definitely |
| 19:11.57 | Monet | It is a bit of a shame that the kind of people who make up stupid stuff like this are more likely to believe mass media sensationalism than other people. |
| 19:11.59 | Imperios | Though it's the teachers that need to change their educational strategies in my opinion |
| 19:12.54 | Imperios | BTW I have a question guys |
| 19:12.58 | Wormy | Western society in particular values debate, and so shuld be more prevalent, the internet is a god place for it |
| 19:13.18 | Wormy | good |
| 19:13.41 | Imperios | Wormy: Trust me, the Orthodox civilisation debates just as much |

| 19:14.29 | Imperios | Let's ask LawfulInsane |
| 19:14.32 | Wormy | Though I think scientific literature and databases should be more accessible |
| 19:15.42 | Wormy | A lot on online scientific libraries are either inaccessibe or not very modern or linked well |
| 19:15.49 | Imperios | Seriously, it's the XXI century and I still see people shouting that we need to burn gays in ovens |
| 19:16.06 | Jepardi | http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/ultimate_game.png |
| 19:16.38 | Wormy | It seems regressive memes like that are well rooted still |
| 19:16.59 | dromlexer | Imperios, get all your vodka and flee to North Korea, IMMEDIATELY. |
| 19:17.29 | dromlexer | brb playing biltz on coh. |
| 19:18.19 | Monet | I just find it annoying when people somehow unknowingly contradict themselves. |
| 19:18.34 | Monet | Or don't get the full picture |
| 19:19.14 | Imperios | Or just use some form of doublethink |
| 19:19.39 | dromlexer | Oh nice, those background sounds at main menu |
| 19:19.41 | Monet | Like the guy i mentioned above. |
| 19:19.41 | dromlexer | I like them. |
| 19:19.46 | dromlexer | Distant gunshots |
| 19:20.41 | Imperios | Monet: BTW about that homophobe dude |
| 19:21.09 | Imperios | When he said gays should be burned, I asked him if he would burn Oscar Wilde or Alan Turing too |
| 19:21.14 | Imperios | ...He said yes. |
| 19:22.02 | Ghel | Do people like him claim to have any kind of logical reasoning behind their hatred, or do they just hold things like "gays should be burned" as basic values? |
| 19:22.27 | Monet | He was adamant the idea of socialised medicine was a failed concept, and told me there were doctors emigrating from the US to the Third World to practice without "all the red tape" because the US Affordable Care Act was apparently clamping down on doctors who weren't asking for payment when they should have. |
| 19:23.12 | Imperios | Ghel: He called them a "virus" and a "plague". That's it. |
| 19:23.44 | Imperios | The more intelligent of their kind have some arguments for their hatred though |
| 19:23.47 | Monet | I don't know how big the margin is but medical bills in the United States are a serious issue, partly because of the premiums and partly because there are millions of US citizens who aren't insured. |
| 19:23.58 | Imperios | Like |
| 19:24.08 | Monet | no insurance = no cushion from those big medical bills. |
| 19:24.17 | Wormy | Easdily refutable though |
| 19:24.50 | Imperios | "Gays have high suicide rates, most of pedophiles are gay, 20% gays have >500 sexual partners" et cetera |
| 19:25.01 | Wormy | I find this sort f relevant http://www.edge.org/documents/whatnow/whatnow_deutsch.html |
| 19:26.05 | Ghel | Monet: Did that guy have anything to back up his claims about emigrating doctors, even anecdotal? Not that I hold much faith in him admitting he was wrong if you could refute it, but I think that would be the first area to try to tackle. |
| 19:26.57 | Ghel | Imperios: Seems to me like traditional irrational dehumanisation. Even in the more reasoned cases; so what if they're more likely to kill themselves, for example? |
| 19:27.16 | Monet | Ghel: He told me about his sister who fell ill. He told me she could have gotten free treatment from a doctor her family knew had he not emigrated to escape the US medial board. |
| 19:27.47 | Monet | All because under the ACA, his medical lisence was in danger of being revoked for unpaid practice |
| 19:28.04 | Ghel | Ah. So it does seem that there are some facts behind that argument. |
| 19:28.32 | Ghel | Although the emotional component would likely make a detailed, reasoned discussion quite difficult. |
| 19:29.16 | Monet | thing is, the ACA isn't quite universal healthcare |
| 19:29.22 | Imperios | Then again... my parents too can be racist/homophobic at times |
| 19:29.37 | *** join/#sporewiki PabloDePablo (47e4f070@gateway/web/qwebirc/irc.wikia.com/ip.71.228.240.112) |
| 19:29.37 | Monet | its job is to make health insurance premiums more affordable |
| 19:30.06 | Ghel | More to the point, the relevant issue is whether the specific part of the ACA that is at issue is necessarily tied to the overall aims of the program. |
| 19:30.23 | Ghel | Getting people to pay their bills does seem important, though. |
| 19:31.10 | Ghel | Of course, in socialist healthcare, there aren't so many bills to pay. |
| 19:31.20 | Monet | He went on to point out that while he knows the UK has a state-funded healthcare system, statistically he prefers the US system because of statistics |
| 19:32.08 | Wormy | Thing I'd like to tell him is that if you wantedbetter healthcare atleast here you can choose to go private |
| 19:32.09 | Ghel | Which statistics were these? |
| 19:32.14 | Imperios | <PROTECTED> |
| 19:32.31 | Monet | Primarily the likelihood of survival under or after clinical care. |
| 19:33.30 | Wormy | test |
| 19:33.37 | Monet | Personally, I'd rather die after being treated in hispital than live owing the doctors £10000 to save my life. |
| 19:34.33 | Imperios | જિછોથંફેડેઝંણૉફ્ |
| 19:34.35 | Ghel | It still needs to be proved that those statistics are significantly due to British healthcare being socialist, although I understand why one might assume that they are. |

| 19:35.48 | Monet | Bio and I went on to provide hi ma few statistics. |
| 19:35.49 | Wormy | The guy couldn'trealy back up his arguments, instead making vague claims |
| 19:36.04 | Wormy | Wat u doin Imperios |
| 19:36.23 | Monet | Namely stats on the quality of healthcare in other countries with universal healthcare like Switzerland. |
| 19:36.27 | Imperios | Trying to see how alphabets look like when written |
| 19:36.40 | Imperios | I want to design the Radeon script |
| 19:36.59 | Xho | Well |
| 19:37.24 | Imperios | પૃઢિઝૌમી This alphabet in particular looks pretty |
| 19:37.37 | Imperios | Well it's an abugida but hey still |
| 19:37.51 | Xho | Well |
| 19:37.56 | Xho | Be nice to Gujarati |
| 19:37.59 | Wormy | I watched a doc on Mayan script today, the way it works is awesome |
| 19:38.19 | Monet | Despite the US being quite low on the league tables for developed nations, he was still convinced the US system was more effective. "it's a matter of red tape vs doing what you halft to do to save a persons life" he said |
| 19:38.52 | Wormy | The Mayans ike to surprise, so they used several pictures to represent a spoken word. |
| 19:39.01 | Imperios | Xho: The final version of the Radeon abugida will be similar to Ge'ez |
| 19:39.16 | Imperios | Aka the Ethiopean script |
| 19:39.24 | Imperios | It has that "holy" feel to it |
| 19:39.28 | Imperios | Ethiopean |
| 19:39.32 | Imperios | ...Rasta Radeons |
| 19:39.52 | Wormy | And pictures could have several sequences, to be more creative (like a hand with several different finger positions) |
| 19:40.02 | Imperios | Wormy: A bit like a rebus? |
| 19:40.15 | Wormy | Never heard of rebus |
| 19:40.37 | Imperios | http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebus |
| 19:40.51 | Imperios | These things are fairly common in Russia |
| 19:41.37 | Monet | The US is perhaps the last country in the developed world to have for-profit medical care, and yet Americans are still some of the unhealthiest people on such records. |
| 19:41.49 | Wormy | They were thought to be pictograms but they were proven to be more like an alphabet |
| 19:42.05 | Monet | Granted its a combination of healthcare and quiality of life. |
| 19:43.20 | Imperios | Monet: You know what I hate? Russia adopting private healthcare traditions from the USA |
| 19:43.49 | Wormy | Its phonetic, being a loggosyllabc with some syllabograms - I have no ideawhat that means except they weren't mere pictograms |
| 19:43.50 | Imperios | Why couldn't we just keep the old Soviet healthcare system and improve it? |
| 19:44.00 | Imperios | It was good as it waa |
| 19:44.04 | Wormy | A russian guy proved it in fact |
| 19:44.17 | Imperios | Is gud |
| 19:44.35 | Monet | The only reason I can find for the Americans not wanting a largely-free healthcare system is because it's socialist, therefore (in the minds of many Americans) evil. |
| 19:45.21 | Monet | The atrocities commited by Josef Stalin. That's it really |
| 19:45.36 | Ghel | That's probably the reason for a lot of them feeling that way about socialism. |
| 19:45.42 | Imperios | Stalin wasn't a socialist, he was a... Stalinist |
| 19:46.04 | Monet | Imperios: A lot of americans think Stalinism, COmmunism and Socialism are the exact same thing. |
| 19:46.10 | Wormy | The jump of simpler language to universality is interesting, though not necessarily invented for that purpose |
| 19:46.30 | Imperios | One more thing I hate: the modern Russian population trying to redeem Stalin |
| 19:46.41 | Monet | And some think Communism and Facism are exactly the same. |
| 19:46.49 | Imperios | Or vilifying him to the point of making him worse than Stalin |
| 19:46.55 | Wormy | Ad that means an alphabet which contains the set of all possible words |
| 19:47.01 | Imperios | *that Hitler |
| 19:47.18 | Imperios | Wormy: Come to think about it |
| 19:47.25 | Wormy | without needfing to invent new rules |
| 19:47.47 | Imperios | Non-hieroglyphic alphabets probably evolved when many different languages contacted |
| 19:47.50 | Monet | Americans became so bloody paranoid of the USSR that they consider *everything remotely connected to it* as bad. |
| 19:48.21 | Wormy | Perhaps |
| 19:48.28 | Monet | So now I get this image that the UFP is actually an impossible concept for America to achieve. |
| 19:48.45 | Imperios | Like, the Phoenicians were traders and they were surrounded by different languages both Afrasian, Indoeuropean, and other |
| 19:48.50 | Wormy | I'm out of my depth |
| 19:49.18 | Imperios | Ever wondered why the Jews and the Arabs don't have independent words for vowels? |
| 19:49.35 | Imperios | It's because different vowels work as suffixes in their languages |
| 19:49.36 | Wormy | It might hav been that language which began the root to universality, can't remember now though |
| 19:49.47 | Wormy | road |
| 19:49.48 | Imperios | Like |
| 19:49.56 | Imperios | SaLaM is "peace" |
| 19:50.04 | Cyrannian | I'm sure it's only a small portion of the population. From my own experience, the American students in my class at uni are highly intelligent, polite and very well versed in different political ideologies. |
| 19:50.15 | Imperios | iSLaM is "surrendering to peace" |
| 19:50.36 | Imperios | muSLiM is "one who is at peace" etx |
| 19:50.53 | Monet | Cyrannian: I'm conflicted, i've been told by other Americans its a widespread opinion. |
| 19:51.21 | Imperios | Cyrannian: These guys are the elite, so to speaj |
| 19:51.25 | Monet | Having kids reciting the pledge of alliegence every morning probably doesn't help. |
| 19:51.39 | Imperios | The more educated portion of America's population |
| 19:51.42 | Cyrannian | I always pictured those types of opinions to be more prevalent in the "bible belt" |
| 19:52.04 | Xho | Good ol' size 58 bible belt |
| 19:52.06 | Imperios | True, the USA are large |
| 19:52.14 | Wormy | We can expect variations of opinion between nations. What matters s that society remains open to other cultures, tolerant, maintains self-criticism and debate |
| 19:52.43 | Ghel | How widespread people perceive it to be will be based on their location in the country (some places are more conservative or liberal than others), their age (older generations are often more conservative or reactionary, for example; younger people are more likely to be pro-socialist), and their own personal biases. |
| 19:53.03 | Imperios | I myself am a socialidt |
| 19:53.07 | Imperios | Swedish-model |
| 19:53.45 | Ghel | My economic ideology is post-scarcity. Anything else is an unfortunate temporary measure. :P |
| 19:54.16 | Wormy | So is mine ol |
| 19:54.33 | Imperios | So, communist hur |
| 19:55.00 | Imperios | Cyrannian: Any Russian students in your uni? |
| 19:55.27 | Cyrannian | There are none in my classes, but I'm not sure about the rest of the uni. |
| 19:55.38 | Ghel | Communism and post-scarcity only really resemble each other in the sense that they aren't supposed to require money. |

| 20:03.30 | Monet | Free healthcare, no capital, state-supported science committess, alien presidents. |

| 20:11.10 | Monet | Despite the fact America never declared itself a proper country until after the Siege of Boston and the only "true" Americans only came of age 16 years after the former. |

| 20:12.25 | Ghel | Sounds like nationalist historical revisionism/denialism to me. If they're not claiming that drinking tea is tantamount to colonialist oppression, it's not quites bad. |
| 20:12.33 | Ghel | quite as bad* |
| 20:12.37 | Wormy | It's often blamed on the British taxes, but that is untrue, America was one of our least taxed colonies. I think the revolutionaries thought they could increase their own. Might be wrong |
| 20:12.57 | Wormy | If they split |
| 20:13.09 | Monet | It was either British Taxation or not getting a rep in parliamant |
| 20:13.54 | Ghel | "No taxation without representation" is a famous motto. It might not have been that the taxes were intrinsically unfair, just that they were unfair without the colonists being represented in parliament as well. |
| 20:14.26 | Wormy | Britain didn,t care enough tbh, the only imports they were getting was fish, while other colonies supplied tea, sugar and spices |
| 20:14.59 | Monet | Wormy: You forget the cotton and sugar being frown i nthe southern states |
| 20:15.05 | Monet | grown* |
| 20:15.20 | Wormy | Yeah, but it was't producing much |
| 20:15.36 | Monet | And the northern states...well what were they providing? |
| 20:15.37 | Wormy | Not like the other colonies |
| 20:15.46 | Wormy | Fish |
| 20:17.27 | Monet | Even more recently the pledge of aliegence line "one nation under God", that was Cold War paranoia that continues ot this day. |
| 20:18.03 | Cyrannian | I think the pledge of allegiance is particularly stupid. |
| 20:18.40 | Cyrannian | Is it still compulsory in schools? |

| 20:22.45 | Imperios | Our government is EXTREMELY corrupt, as is our bureaucracy |
| 20:22.53 | Imperios | And our police, et cetera |
| 20:23.08 | Imperios | Is giving bribes to policemen a widespread practice in the UK? |
| 20:23.20 | Wormy | Hush Imperiois, you might be being watched |
| 20:23.22 | Imperios | In Russia, it's almost universal |
| 20:23.42 | Imperios | So be it, I have rights |
| 20:23.44 | Wormy | I guess it does happen but it ould be rarer |
| 20:23.56 | Ghel | It's certainly known to happen in the UK; I don't know about it being widespread, though. |
| 20:25.14 | Monet | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT9IYEmUXbs I found this on the subject matter of the pledge |
| 20:25.37 | Monet | I'd say that modern antions are at a stage where the state should seriously start reflecting the population. |
| 20:25.45 | Monet | nations* |
| 20:26.32 | Monet | Rather than this dividing line between the ideas of the peopel in power and the ideas of the general populace. |
| 20:31.43 | Monet | It makes me unsettled this girl in the video could be harassed and bullied because of what she is standing for. |
| 20:34.58 | Wormy | I do nthink the youth in the UK have lost respect for eldersb and police, we could learn a ting or two from America there |
| 20:35.53 | Wormy | Like the kid caught by a cop in the US whocried when the policeman threatened to call his mom and juvinelle all |
| 20:35.56 | Wormy | Hall |
| 20:36.10 | Monet | One thing i've been suggesting to others elsewhere, in the developed world we could be reaching a stage where national boraders mean nothing. |
| 20:36.25 | Wormy | If it was somechav in the UK, e woud have been rude or aggressive |
| 20:36.52 | Wormy | Or would see a prisn sentence as a medal |
| 20:37.37 | Ghel | Are you sure there aren't plenty in America who would feel the same way? |
| 20:40.32 | Wormy | Maybe in some parts |
| 20:43.47 | Wormy | I mentioned it to a coupe of Americans on the internet ad they agreed |
| 20:44.58 | Wormy | No I can't critisise any society without being critical of my own |
| 20:45.30 | PabloDePablo | I read some stuff about the pledge of allegiance being creepy, actually |
| 20:45.50 | PabloDePablo | I'm homeschooled so I haven't had to say it for a long while but it actually is kind of creepy when you think about it |
| 20:46.11 | Monet | I only know one line of it |
| 20:46.23 | PabloDePablo | It's something kids just sort of learn and they're too young to piece together what it is |
| 20:46.42 | Monet | I know you are taught to recite it from elementary school onwards |
| 20:47.47 | PabloDePablo | To boil it down- "America is great and I am loyal to it and it alone" |
| 20:48.31 | Monet | In other words you are spoonfed nationalism? |
| 20:48.37 | Monet | Okay I see a problem here |
| 20:48.39 | PabloDePablo | Pretty much. |
| 20:49.06 | Monet | Nationalism was a key contributor to WWI |
| 20:49.17 | PabloDePablo | "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." |
| 20:49.22 | PabloDePablo | Here is the full thing. |
| 20:49.41 | Wormy | Republic f Texas? |
| 20:49.43 | Wormy | jk |
| 20:49.49 | DrodoEmpire | I might as well put in my two cents; The pledge of alligence is a little weird (and also has a generous amount of religious bullcrap), but I see no problem with patriotism or being loyal to your country. :P |
| 20:50.10 | PabloDePablo | It's less the patriotism and loyalty |
| 20:50.11 | PabloDePablo | More like |
| 20:50.30 | Wormy | indivisible probably means it not hur |
| 20:50.30 | PabloDePablo | It's taught to really young kids and they don't really understand what it means at that age |
| 20:50.41 | DrodoEmpire | Worshipping your country? Yes, that's bad. So is being outright fanatical |
| 20:50.49 | Cyrannian | There are several different types of nationalism and not all are unhealthy. |

| 20:51.06 | PabloDePablo | Yeah |
| 20:51.23 | Wormy | There is nothing wrong with a bit of pride. Knowing your history s precious |
| 20:51.56 | Monet | I do wonder if this promotes the idea that America is *the* greatest nation on Earth. |
| 20:52.01 | Wormy | I for example stand for western standards of tolerance, self-criticism etc. |
| 20:52.27 | Wormy | I also feel very proud of my home county |

| 20:59.08 | DrodoEmpire | Cyrannian: I think I said this before, but I like to differentiate between "country" and "government"; I'd die for Canada (the country; a concept), but certainly not for the current government (consevatives and fuhrer Harper) |
| 20:59.40 | Wormy | I'd probably die to protect the people of my country, yes |
| 20:59.59 | Wormy | But only if it was invaded |

| 21:00.26 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 21:00.27 | Monet | Yeah. Whe nwe say "I'd die for my country" so we mean we'll die for where we life, the community we grew up it, the concept of the nation, or the government as a representation of the people? |
| 21:00.53 | Imperios | I love the country, but hate the state |

| 21:01.55 | Monet | Because I despise Britain's current Conservative government |
| 21:01.56 | Liquid_Ink | unfriends Monet. |

| 21:05.16 | Wormy | I'm not afraid to say I'm English first and British second, not because I'm a supremacist, but English culture is distinct and itself varied |
| 21:05.24 | Cyrannian | I like being European. |

| 21:25.41 | Monet | Same reason Indians don't get African-American prejudice probably. |
| 21:25.45 | Ghel | And Greeks built big monuments and lived in Europe, so other Europeans claimed them as white. |

| 21:26.33 | Xho | Although some Japanese people were like 6'5" and I was like 'WHAT' |

| 21:28.37 | Xho | My grandfather was from somewhere in India (possibly Delhi) and my grandmother was from Karachi in Pakistan |
| 21:28.38 | Monet | These days "white" and "black" are mre like "beige" and "brown" |
| 21:28.39 | Imperios | ...you know, remember the meteorite? My mom was born there |
| 21:28.51 | Wormy | No |
| 21:28.59 | Ghel | I think the problem with identifying each other by region of origin is that you can mention the region and other people will think "where's that?" |
| 21:29.04 | Wormy | :> |
| 21:29.14 | Xho | Considering my grandfather was born in 1907 and my grandmother was born in 1915 this was loooooooooooooong before everything went berserk |
| 21:29.24 | Imperios | Monet: My 4 years old sister refers to her own skin colour as "cream" |
| 21:29.25 | Monet | Also never be on the recieving end of mistaking someone's region of origin |
| 21:29.37 | Imperios | Yep |
| 21:29.42 | Imperios | DON'T CALL ME CHINESE |
| 21:29.46 | Imperios | DON'T |
| 21:29.58 | Wormy | Thats like when my Great Great Grandather probablky existed |
| 21:30.05 | Monet | Don't assume all scousers are from Yorkshire. |
| 21:30.07 | Wormy | Dat old |
| 21:30.08 | Xho | My family is so old they were part of the British Empire overseas territories |
| 21:30.14 | Ghel | Wormy: Or in other words, when you wore a top hat. |
| 21:30.20 | Wormy | Yes |
| 21:30.24 | Xho | I forget how far back our family has been traced |
| 21:30.24 | Imperios | I remember a group of Jehova's Witnesses mistaking me for Chinese |
| 21:30.33 | Wormy | I am him reborn |
| 21:30.46 | Xho | I think the furthest back it has been traced was around 1830 |
| 21:31.07 | Xho | As for my father's side of the family bah it's too big and too British to care |
| 21:31.10 | Imperios | Anyway, the city my mom was born on has a funny reputation mowadays |
| 21:31.12 | Ghel | I'd struggle to trace my family much further back than 1930. |
| 21:31.24 | Xho | Although my father was oddly enough born in Germany |
| 21:31.25 | Imperios | Basically |
| 21:31.35 | PabloDePablo | Hey guys, I just wanted to ask if anyone could help me with my stats section when I put my species page up |
| 21:31.37 | Imperios | BRINGEN SIE MIR FEGELEIN |
| 21:31.45 | Ghel | Imperios: Does it have a reputation for meteorites crashing into it? |
| 21:31.46 | Xho | West Germany that is |
| 21:31.49 | Wormy | My family branches are traced back a long way, though my surname's history has detail |
| 21:31.56 | Imperios | Ghel: ...Lemme explain |
| 21:32.15 | Ghel | PabloDePablo: We can try to help if you ask anything specific. |
| 21:32.33 | Imperios | There's a Russian sitcom's section about her city, and it basically revolves around gay people |
| 21:32.34 | Xho | Man my father was born in Germany at the time the Soviets ruled over the east |
| 21:32.35 | Xho | Fuck |
| 21:32.44 | PabloDePablo | I'm just sort of new to the whole thing and I don't want to mess up the stats section so I'm gonna leave it empty for now. |
| 21:32.45 | Monet | I don't know about my fathers' side but going back to around the 1900, my Great great Grandfather and his family moved to the UK from Holland. |
| 21:32.53 | Imperios | The unrequited love of a worker for his boss |

| 21:33.56 | Monet | Maybe I should change my username to Spacer176, which is what I use for a few other sites. |
| 21:33.59 | Xho | Then again on the scheme of things 1960 wasn't that long ago |
| 21:33.59 | AdmiralPanda | hello all |
| 21:34.07 | Imperios | Monet: Heil cannabis |
| 21:34.07 | Cyrannian | buh-bai |
| 21:34.14 | Monet | Night |
| 21:34.19 | Xho | adios |
| 21:34.21 | Imperios | Night |
| 21:34.24 | Wormy | Bye |
| 21:34.45 | Wormy | Don't let bed bugs bite |
| 21:35.01 | Xho | I believe my grandparents left India in 1950 which in retrospect was probably a clever move |
| 21:35.04 | Imperios | I'd tell you bye in Japanese but I haven't been talking to Alyona recently so I forgot the words hur |
| 21:35.12 | Xho | Although I believe they were racially discriminated for a while |
| 21:35.16 | Xho | Imperios: Oyasumi nasai |
| 21:35.21 | Imperios | Ya |
| 21:35.45 | Monet | Imperios: Saiyonara? |
| 21:35.56 | Xho | That's 'goodbye' |
| 21:36.02 | Imperios | Xho: My grand-grandparents left Korea because of the Japanese conquering the shit out of their country hur |
| 21:36.05 | Monet | Close enough |
| 21:36.10 | Xho | Oyasumi nasai means 'good night' |
| 21:36.23 | Xho | Imperios: joponooso |
| 21:36.45 | Technobliterator | so, I'm trying to take a 1 week break from dota to do shit here |
| 21:36.46 | Imperios | My family's history is like a series of "FUK DIS" |
| 21:36.50 | Technobliterator | because I have some HUGE wiki plans atm |
| 21:36.59 | Xho | Because my grandparents lived under British culture I don't think they would have lived as comfortably in post-British India |
| 21:37.27 | Xho | I mean they rarely spoke any Indian language |
| 21:37.30 | Imperios | Live in Korea -> Get raped by Japan -> FUK DIS |
| 21:37.56 | Imperios | Live in Russia -> Get raped by Stalin and sent to Kazakhstan -> FUK DIS |
| 21:38.06 | Xho | Although from what I recall, Urdu isn't an Indian language |
| 21:38.08 | Xho | Might be |
| 21:38.15 | Imperios | It is |
| 21:38.20 | AdmiralPanda | Technobliterator: One does not simply take a break from MOBAs |
| 21:38.22 | Xho | Ah yeah |
| 21:38.24 | Wormy | Some of my ancestors fled Russia, from the white army I think, but the forest f their surname still exists |
| 21:38.25 | Xho | State of New Delhi |
| 21:38.25 | Imperios | It is an Aryan language |
| 21:38.35 | Imperios | Just with some Arabic influence |
| 21:38.37 | Xho | They lived in New Delhi up until 1950 so they must have |
| 21:38.38 | Technobliterator | well |
| 21:38.43 | Technobliterator | it's possible when you have other stuff to do |
| 21:38.49 | Imperios | And for some of my relatives |
| 21:39.10 | Ghel | Some of my very distant (hundreds of years ago) ancestors lived in the north of England. Probably. |
| 21:39.15 | Imperios | Live in Kazakhstan -> Get raped by the fall of the USSR and then the natives -> FUK DIS |
| 21:39.28 | Wormy | Scarily enough, some of them were told there were too many peope on the ship and ot left onshore. the ship sank and everyone on it died |
| 21:39.28 | Monet | All I know about my father's side is that he and his brothers grew up in North Yorkshire. |
| 21:40.20 | Wormy | My very very very distant ancestors on the other side held a position of power in cumbria |
| 21:40.44 | Wormy | And before that were possibly Viking |
| 21:41.14 | Ghel | I think some of my ancestors might have been African. About 30,000 years ago. |
| 21:41.38 | Xho | hur |
| 21:41.53 | Wormy | Yeah but I know the name of the guy who owned Cumbria |
| 21:42.02 | Monet | I have uncles and aunts in Yorkshire, Daerbyshire, New Zealand and Saudi Arabia I think. |
| 21:42.22 | Wormy | <PROTECTED> |
| 21:43.35 | Ghel | IIRC, my great-aunt's family (or some similar relatives) live in Australia. |
| 21:43.57 | Monet | I never really asked about my dad's side and on my mum's side she sees her parents and siblings as jackals but is much nicer about other relatives, like the on in Derby. |
| 21:45.00 | Wormy | On the ther surname, a famous astronaut shares it, probably not related in any genetic way though |
| 21:45.33 | Xho | Armstrong |
| 21:45.55 | Wormy | Nope |
| 21:46.06 | Wormy | But he did go to the moon |
| 21:46.14 | Xho | Bah |
| 21:46.15 | Wormy | Not saying who |
| 21:46.38 | Xho | James Irwin |

| 21:51.43 | OluapPlayer | I went for a completeyl different strategy |
| 21:51.50 | OluapPlayer | Went full Havel Set on them |
| 21:51.56 | Ghel | "j" is a bit of a pointless letter. Depending on the language, it's either pronounced "h", "y", "zh" or (in English) "dzh". So in the latter two cases, I guess it's good for reducing the number of letters you use in words. |
| 21:52.06 | AdmiralPanda | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Australia-New_Zealand_Republic#History Angrybirds < now you can shup for a bit, I have made tiny bit of progress in between other stuffs in life |

| 21:52.31 | Xho | wat da |
| 21:52.49 | Ghel | No, you'd spell it Dzhoose. |
| 21:52.53 | Xho | ech |

| 21:56.03 | Imperios | Well, "Zhid" which is its Russian form |
| 21:56.07 | AdmiralPanda | You don't need patience, you need to GIT GUD SCRUB |

| 21:56.37 | Liquid_Ink | What then do you call the Jewish in a non-offensive way? |
| 21:56.39 | Imperios | You are supposed to call Jews "Yevrey" instead, "Yevrey" as in "Hebrew" |
| 21:56.46 | AdmiralPanda | OluapPlayer: Didn't even level that shit up |
| 21:56.46 | Liquid_Ink | I see |

| 22:11.47 | Technobliterator | but plz give feedback |
| 22:13.21 | OluapPlayer | nu |
| 22:14.43 | Liquid_Ink | I'll give you feedback when I get home from school. |
| 22:14.57 | Liquid_Ink | In the meantime, what do you think of the DCP-Vermulan War? |
| 22:15.40 | Technobliterator | from what I've read, seems interesting |
| 22:16.34 | DrodoEmpire | I'm not much of a fan of character-based fictions, so I don't think I'd have much of anything useful to say, sorry. :L |
| 22:16.59 | Technobliterator | no, that's viable feedback there |
| 22:17.24 | Technobliterator | any feedback is viable. of course I've no hope to please every single user but I'd really like this to be good |
| 22:17.27 | OluapPlayer | You're asking more than one sentence |
| 22:17.31 | OluapPlayer | Are you trying to kill me |
| 22:17.43 | Technobliterator | ...maybe... |
| 22:17.44 | Technobliterator | :D |
| 22:17.54 | Monet | She's asking for proper feedback |
| 22:18.10 | Monet | "is good" only gets peop lso far. |
| 22:18.18 | Monet | people* |
| 22:18.41 | Technobliterator | pretty much |
| 22:18.55 | OluapPlayer | Way to kill the mood |
| 22:18.57 | OluapPlayer | I was joking |
| 22:19.30 | Technobliterator | well, in his defence, it's the internet after all |
| 22:19.36 | Monet | Yeah but saying "is good" is what you do most of the time... |
| 22:19.56 | Liquid_Ink | So you're asking us to rate the villains in that list by those four categories you mentioned? |
| 22:20.07 | Technobliterator | [22:19] <Monet> Yeah but saying "is good" is what you do most of the time... |
| 22:20.08 | OluapPlayer | I can't say much else than that |
| 22:20.35 | Technobliterator | no need to have a go at him for it. it's just that he often doesn't have time/doesn't know what to say to elaborate, I think? which is half the reason I gave categories |
| 22:20.40 | Technobliterator | [22:19] <Liquid_Ink> So you're asking us to rate the villains in that list by those four categories you mentioned? |
| 22:20.44 | Technobliterator | villains and factions, yeah |
| 22:20.51 | OluapPlayer | doesn't know what to say to elaborate |
| 22:20.52 | OluapPlayer | That'd be it |
| 22:21.30 | OluapPlayer | If I like it, I just say I liked it and why, I don't see why I have to go further |
| 22:22.11 | OluapPlayer | Anyway i'm gonna reply to the blog |
| 22:22.19 | OluapPlayer | Just gimme a moment to think of what to write |
| 22:22.36 | Technobliterator | take your time, no rush |
| 22:25.13 | dromlexer | Eh, at World of Tanks, my highest win ratio is on a tier 1 tank which I only played once. |
| 22:25.15 | dromlexer | lol |
| 22:26.58 | PabloDePablo | Wish Admiral was here, I need a biology tip for the Tundrakle page. |
| 22:30.02 | DrodoEmpire | There, made a minor edit to the Drodo page |
| 22:30.09 | Monet | I'm no goo with ratings so because I have time, I'll post full feedback |
| 22:30.24 | Monet | PabloDePablo: I can help if you like |
| 22:30.48 | dromlexer | Ah, nice to see you again Pablo. |
| 22:31.40 | dromlexer | So. I'm making a dictionary. |
| 22:31.50 | DrodoEmpire | I see. |
| 22:31.57 | dromlexer | I'm open for some suggestions to put in. |
| 22:31.57 | dromlexer | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Creature:Aemonkian/Aaillikan_Language/Dictionary |
| 22:32.44 | DrodoEmpire | I added a picture and a quote thing to the Drodo cavalry section :P |
| 22:33.11 | dromlexer | I'm going to cook it up like food at your finest restaurant so I can deliver a fiction like the food there. |
| 22:34.14 | Technobliterator | Monet: "Sometimes I wonder if he - at least on occasion - makes up stuff as he goes along. Although I don't have veteran experience of him but he strikes me as a man who plans for every contingency seeing as how he can see every divergent timeline." |
| 22:34.36 | Technobliterator | in canon he's meant to not be doing so, though if it appears, it's actually because I'm making stuff up as I go along :P |
| 22:34.47 | Technobliterator | thanks a lot for the feedback! do you have any for the others? |
| 22:34.49 | Monet | The whole "chronoscopic orb" thing seemed pretty random. |
| 22:34.58 | Monet | WOrking on the others now |
| 22:35.19 | Monet | "UNO refused ot become Vryos so i'll make a big ass energy orb to blow up a galaxy" |
| 22:35.31 | Monet | Then again...this was the first time he was furious visibly |
| 22:35.39 | Monet | and we all do stupid things when we're angry. |
| 22:35.55 | Technobliterator | yeah, that's pretty much spot on |
| 22:36.13 | Monet | Even gods make errors. |
| 22:36.23 | Monet | That's what I believe anyway |
| 22:36.43 | Technobliterator | I'm starting to think that emotions on a deity makes sense, as it can help their decision making |
| 22:36.56 | dromlexer | Welp, any site than sporewikia and a local newpaper site is getting very slow. |
| 22:37.21 | Monet | Emotion is more than expressing what's on your mind |
| 22:37.22 | Technobliterator | and well, when there are so many deities in this situation, and they aren't your typical "omnipresent, omnipotent, omnibenevolent" like most ideas of God are, it makes a lot of sense for gods to make errors |
| 22:37.55 | PabloDePablo | Sorry, I was AFK for a while |
| 22:38.06 | OluapPlayer | I'm nearly done here |
| 22:38.20 | Monet | Among humans and many animals, emotion is used for such things lik establishing authority, soliciting empathy and notifying of danger |
| 22:38.44 | Technobliterator | that's true as well |
| 22:39.03 | Monet | Among such creatures, the idea of conveying emotion is so natural that when we encounter something that does not display any emotion we are genionely creeped-out by it |
| 22:39.25 | PabloDePablo | I wanted to give the Tundrakle race natural ice crystals on their back- excess water in their body would be frozen through glands in the back and form ice crystals along with shoulder blades. |
| 22:39.41 | PabloDePablo | I'm not sure if it would even work from a biological standpoint, though |
| 22:39.57 | dromlexer | There's different biochemistries. |
| 22:40.15 | dromlexer | Some allow life under the -0 point Celuis. |
| 22:40.37 | DrodoEmpire | I can't wait for the Gigawar to start so the Drodo can finally do something worthwhile. :3 |
| 22:40.37 | Monet | Its not the most efficient way of storing something |
| 22:40.48 | DrodoEmpire | And cavalry. Don't forget cavalry. |
| 22:41.05 | Monet | If anything, ice is a less efficient storage medium than liquid |
| 22:41.21 | OluapPlayer | There I made a huge-ass list |
| 22:41.22 | dromlexer | PabloDePablo: you might have to look in this. |
| 22:41.23 | dromlexer | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:Fiction_Universe/Important_topics/Exobiology |
| 22:41.35 | dromlexer | It's pretty useful. |
| 22:41.37 | PabloDePablo | It wouldn't be a storage medium, actually |
| 22:41.42 | Monet | Since ice is one of those few elements that actually DEcreases in density when it solidifies. |
| 22:41.55 | PabloDePablo | It'd be more of a weird biological function which they use to denote status |
| 22:41.56 | Monet | elements? |
| 22:42.02 | Monet | I mean compounds |
| 22:42.34 | Monet | What's the average temperature of their home environment? |
| 22:42.59 | dromlexer | Monet: Do you believe there's energy compunds based on C-type biochemistry? |
| 22:43.34 | PabloDePablo | I haven't pinpoint a solid temperature, but it's generally a tundra- warm enough to have water sources, but generally very cold |
| 22:44.19 | Monet | dromlexer: You mean a way to prevent nitorgen-phosphorosu breakdown? |
| 22:44.46 | PabloDePablo | Antarctica is a good point for temperature, although it would have more solid continents |
| 22:44.54 | PabloDePablo | Across the planet |
| 22:45.12 | dromlexer | Hm. Probably. But I was thinking of energy accumulated when breaking down those compounds by the body. |
| 22:45.25 | Monet | Well since nitrogen is a good oxidiser I imagien such life could evlolve on oxygen-free worlds susing something else as a carrier for respiration. |
| 22:45.34 | dromlexer | Much complicated to describe. |
| 22:45.55 | Monet | Wait...FUCk. |
| 22:46.08 | Monet | Glucose is an oxide compound |
| 22:46.35 | dromlexer | I saw somewhere about Xenon as a rare breathable gas. |
| 22:47.08 | Monet | A breathable gas is one where it accepts hydrogen in a chemical reaction. |
| 22:47.16 | dromlexer | Xenon is a noble gas and doesn't hang on with other atoms. Not a good binder. |
| 22:47.51 | dromlexer | hydrongen is O-H? |
| 22:48.07 | Monet | Hydrogen is an element. |
| 22:48.17 | Monet | But its also incredibly reactive |
| 22:48.28 | dromlexer | Oh. |
| 22:48.36 | Monet | Which is why its so good in respiration |
| 22:48.42 | dromlexer | I mistaken it as hydroxide. |
| 22:50.24 | Monet | P-N bonds sound photoreactive |
| 22:50.30 | dromlexer | So. Ammonia, N-P, Oxygen are good binders with H? |
| 22:51.01 | Monet | Nitrogen can bind with anything |
| 22:51.22 | Monet | Hydrogen* |
| 22:51.37 | DrodoEmpire | I feel as though I should rewrite the section on the Drodo page on Dragoons; Seeing as I wrote it at a time when I expected it to be the only type of cavalry in the Drodo arsenal; Now I have four or five types. XD |
| 22:51.52 | dromlexer | Our air is made of 78.09 nitrogen. |
| 22:51.54 | dromlexer | % |
| 22:52.12 | Monet | I meant Hydrogen. |
| 22:52.32 | Monet | Although Hydrogen almost never occurs naturaly on its own in a terrestrial environment. |
| 22:53.44 | dromlexer | In Halo, Methane a gas of hydrocarbon, is a breathable gas for those Grunts. |

| 22:54.29 | Technobliterator | Monet: are you still working on your post about the other fictions? |
| 22:54.48 | Wormy | Hi |
| 22:54.51 | Monet | Technobliterator: I got sidetracked by this science discussion |
| 22:54.56 | OluapPlayer | http://i.imgur.com/WebilSe.jpg |
| 22:55.16 | dromlexer | So I can believe that Hydrogen isn't necessary to be in sugars like glucose. Also available in hydrocarbon-based gases. |
| 22:55.30 | Technobliterator | fair enough :p |
| 22:55.44 | Monet | This is true. |
| 22:56.02 | Monet | although I can't fully remember what it takes to crack methane apart. |
| 22:56.49 | dromlexer | It happens that I have chemistry about hydrocarbon-based elements and alcohols. |
| 22:59.19 | dromlexer | And yet to crack a methane apart, needs oxygen. In return you get, gaseous water and carbon dioxide. I don't any natural way to crack it up else than heating it up together with oxygen. |
| 22:59.31 | Wormy | If you like science, you are in the right place |
| 22:59.58 | dromlexer | I interest myself more in computer science and biology. |
| 23:00.18 | dromlexer | Chemistry is *cough* - bottom on my list. |
| 23:00.58 | dromlexer | Sadly, I'm in a course about game development. So no biology. |
| 23:01.20 | Wormy | For me its just about any area, but I guess my specialism is geology/planetary science, followed by theoretical physics and palaeobiology |
| 23:01.21 | dromlexer | Eh, I can always share the knowledge and learn about it from you. |

| 23:02.48 | Wormy | I'm quite interested in cosmology, biophysics, computer science and scientific mdelling, as well as thephilisophy of knowledge |
| 23:03.22 | Wormy | Perhaps astrobiology and emerging tech too :P |
| 23:03.25 | dromlexer | I remember a planet named "Hoth" from Stargate. It was a ice planet with an atmosphere made up mainly of carbon dioxide. A bacterial(or viral) disease lived in the ice. |
| 23:03.37 | Wormy | Thatcomesfrom my lve of si-fi |
| 23:04.22 | dromlexer | http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Hoth |
| 23:04.42 | dromlexer | So the disease was a viral one. |
| 23:06.23 | dromlexer | Man I love Stargate and Star Trek. |
| 23:06.49 | Monet | Viruses are parasites. |
| 23:06.55 | Monet | So bacterial most likely. |
| 23:07.47 | AdmiralPanda | according to the wikia page it was viral |
| 23:08.18 | OluapPlayer | pondo |
| 23:08.24 | OluapPlayer | Do I got for Seath next? |
| 23:08.46 | AdmiralPanda | who have you killed so far? |
| 23:08.54 | OluapPlayer | Really Nito and 4Kids |
| 23:09.25 | AdmiralPanda | did you get the paladin set when you killed into? |
| 23:09.27 | AdmiralPanda | nito* |
| 23:09.30 | OluapPlayer | Yeah |
| 23:09.34 | OluapPlayer | It's my current armor |
| 23:09.35 | Monet | So either this was something that was somehow locked in the ide (knowing Stargete science there would have been other bacteria not harmful to humans in this water)...or the scriptwriters dun goofed. |
| 23:10.19 | AdmiralPanda | gud, paladin has best curse resistance |

| 23:10.59 | Wormy_ | Hi |
| 23:11.00 | dromlexer | Monet: What do you mean? |
| 23:11.08 | OluapPlayer | Speaking of which I returned to the Painted World today to get all the items I missed |
| 23:11.14 | OluapPlayer | It was surprisingly easy this time |
| 23:11.22 | dromlexer | Hi Wormy_ |
| 23:11.39 | Monet | dromlexer: Viruses by their nature require host cells in order to reproduce |
| 23:11.48 | AdmiralPanda | so you have the Xanthous crown? |
| 23:11.52 | OluapPlayer | http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=226720268&tscn=1392067693 btw I found a really good-looking armor combo while going around my items |
| 23:11.54 | OluapPlayer | I don't |
| 23:12.32 | dromlexer | The picture on them made them look like bacteriophages. |
| 23:12.49 | Wormy_ | Ooh are we debating the origin of virae again? |
| 23:13.04 | OluapPlayer | Elite Knight helm is best helm |
| 23:13.04 | Monet | Wormy_: Not exactly |
| 23:13.04 | AdmiralPanda | Oluap: It's mostly just a luxury but it's extra curse resistance |
| 23:13.22 | OluapPlayer | Oh so you have a Steam account |
| 23:13.47 | Wormy_ | I woud think that there are so much forms f virus they might as well have multiple origins |
| 23:14.05 | OluapPlayer | You can go around commenting on all the pictures I've taken hur |
| 23:14.15 | Monet | Looking at the information on the Hoth Virus, perhaps it sustained itself by other microbes within the water/ice on Hoth? |
| 23:14.17 | OluapPlayer | All 69 of them |
| 23:14.39 | dromlexer | So I guess Hoth was used to be a planet with methane (other hydrocarbon) as a gas. As due to a catastrophe burnt all the gas into carbon dioxide and water. So apparently the dioxide caused a greenhouse effect and froze the whole planet. |
| 23:14.43 | dromlexer | That's my theory. |
| 23:14.50 | dromlexer | A planet with life. |
| 23:15.06 | Technobliterator | AdmiralPanda Wormy_: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Technobliterator/Huge_update_and_requesting_feedback could you spare a minute of your time to help a friend in need? |
| 23:15.13 | Monet | Well, Mars is mostly Carbon DIoxide |
| 23:15.28 | AdmiralPanda | Technobliterator: Only if you praise the sun |
| 23:15.32 | Monet | but its atmosphere is also very thin |
| 23:15.44 | OluapPlayer | http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=223224478 this is how much I touched the fluffy tail |
| 23:15.45 | dromlexer | So the virus survived and had a long lifespan and can sleep in torpor when frozen. |
| 23:16.05 | dromlexer | Hoth's atomsphere seems to be medium in the picture. |
| 23:16.25 | dromlexer | Judging from the color hue and clouds. |
| 23:16.26 | Technobliterator | so far I have Oluap's and only one part of Monet's feedback because the science discussion derailed him |
| 23:16.30 | Technobliterator | :c |
| 23:16.43 | Wormy_ | We have the loss of it's geomagnetic field to blame or that |
| 23:16.58 | dromlexer | Cuz science is superior |
| 23:17.31 | Monet | well... |
| 23:17.44 | Monet | there's debate on whether or not viruses themselves actually have a lifespan |
| 23:17.49 | dromlexer | So Hoth apparently used to have a thick atmosphere of hydrocarbon gas. Look at all that ice. |
| 23:17.51 | Monet | they're not exactly...alive. |
| 23:18.00 | DrodoEmpire | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Drodo_Empire#Drodo_Cavalry - Updated the Cavalry. The Cuirassiers finally have there own section. |
| 23:18.09 | Wormy_ | And the energy recieved y that might have been enough to split co2, giving enough heat for the lighter molecules to slwly escape Martian gravity |
| 23:18.14 | dromlexer | Viruses' DNA/RNA can decay, right? |
| 23:18.34 | Monet | Viruses have RNA strains |
| 23:18.55 | Monet | but i think viruses themselves are effectively immortal |
| 23:19.09 | Monet | those protien shells of theirs preserve the DNA |
| 23:19.31 | dromlexer | So the shells are the actual reason on why viruses can decay? |
| 23:20.13 | Wormy_ | I consider them alive, in the sense that they are replicators that actively caue their environment to produce more copies. They just get another environment of the cell to do it for them |
| 23:20.36 | dromlexer | I'm not a expert in virology but I always thought that viruses could decay. |
| 23:21.39 | AdmiralPanda | Monet: Biologically speaking viruses aren't considered to be alive, but in some circumstances they can decay |
| 23:21.56 | AdmiralPanda | it's just because they have no biological processes that they last for ages |
| 23:22.09 | Wormy_ | All a cell is, is the extended phenotype programmed by genes to actively replicate them |
| 23:22.12 | Monet | If these viruses are trapped in ice, they're going to last for a long time |
| 23:22.56 | DrodoEmpire | Any comments/suggestions for my edits or the rest of the page? |
| 23:23.31 | dromlexer | Like why they are storing samples of dangerous viral diseases in canister with liquid nitrogen. |
| 23:25.25 | AdmiralPanda | Technobliterator: Not much help cus I haven't really interacted with anything properly |
| 23:26.24 | AdmiralPanda | dromlexer: storing them in liquid nitrogen stops environmental factors from degrading the virus |
| 23:26.50 | dromlexer | ikr |
| 23:27.10 | AdmiralPanda | also it's safer |
| 23:27.22 | Technobliterator | well, any help is appreciated |
| 23:27.27 | Wormy_ | Jo I'll post a comment when I'm back on my PC in a coupe f days |
| 23:27.31 | Technobliterator | from anyperspective |
| 23:27.32 | Technobliterator | alright |
| 23:27.39 | dromlexer | And a more valuable target for bio-terrorism. |
| 23:28.01 | Monet | Actually i'm feeling sleepy. |
| 23:28.02 | Wormy_ | I can post comments on the tab but I'll end up annoyed |
| 23:28.03 | AdmiralPanda | not really, cus if you bring them out of storage wrong you'll kill them |
| 23:28.13 | AdmiralPanda | well, degrade them to the point of uselessness |
| 23:28.19 | Monet | I've commented on Falrik, I got ambitious with full feedback. |

| 23:34.54 | Tybusen | Monet: I left a question on your dA thingymabob |
| 23:35.44 | Monet | I'll work on a response tomorrow hopefully |
| 23:36.02 | Monet | Draconis don't lik being called salamanders though |
| 23:36.11 | Monet | Being called fat can set some of them off |
| 23:36.31 | Tybusen | What about the "big" part? |
| 23:36.54 | Monet | To some that emphasises the "overweight" part |
| 23:37.09 | Monet | Draconis prefer to think of it as muscle. |
| 23:37.49 | Tybusen | For the most part then it looks like Colby's done his job :U |
| 23:38.30 | dromlexer | Monet: I'm going to dare calling them for salamanders. |
| 23:38.39 | DrodoEmpire | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Drodo_Empire#Drodo_Cavalry - It'd be great to get some comments on my recent edits, and also the page as a whole. |
| 23:38.52 | DrodoEmpire | Quotes would be great too |
| 23:38.57 | Tybusen | I think that confirms it now, "salamander" is the TIAF's derogatory word for a Draconis |
| 23:39.20 | Monet | "newt" is a common insult amongst Draconis |
| 23:39.30 | Monet | Like calling osmeone puny |
| 23:40.30 | Tybusen | DrodoEmpire: That cavalry sounds badass, not often that you see the cavalry getting more than a mention in the military section |

| 23:40.55 | Monet | Come to think of it, calling a Draconis a salamander could have a similar effect. |
| 23:42.12 | Tybusen | Salamanders do have a mythical association with fire, if any of the Draconis pick up on that they might just turn that insult around |
| 23:42.33 | dromlexer | Eh, I can always do an insult in Aaillikan. Something they won't understand until they will realise. |
| 23:43.08 | Monet | Tybusen: Its that or this cute thing http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/02/Salamander-olympus.jpg |
| 23:44.07 | dromlexer | I'd say THIS. |
| 23:44.15 | Wormy_ | Green Runnerbean would be a good Grimbie insult |
| 23:44.41 | Wormy_ | Since ty look like runner beans on legs to me |
| 23:45.05 | Tybusen | The TIAF pejorative for a Grimbie is probably "green cockroach" |
| 23:45.38 | dromlexer | Draconis for "flying reptilian sausages". |
| 23:46.00 | Tybusen | hur |
| 23:46.02 | AdmiralPanda | I don't even know what would be used to insult Fordanta |
| 23:46.06 | Wormy_ | I wonder how aliens know of Earth animals and plants so well... |
| 23:46.32 | dromlexer | Conspiracy with America's goverment. |
| 23:46.33 | OluapPlayer | "scrub who gotta git gud" |
| 23:46.47 | Wormy_ | I know Humanity s widesdpread butstill |
| 23:46.54 | Tybusen | Wormy_: I always figured that they're using more familiar terms in their own language, and it gets translated to the closest thing when it's presented to us in English |
| 23:47.04 | Wormy_ | True |
| 23:47.22 | Monet | dromlexer: Where did sausage come from? |
| 23:47.26 | AdmiralPanda | OluapPlayer: Fordanta don't even level dexterity |
| 23:47.33 | Tybusen | TIAF is actually saying their equivalent of a salamander, and it gets translated to "salamander" by the translator microbes |
| 23:47.47 | AdmiralPanda | nobody's gonna get these jokes |
| 23:48.00 | dromlexer | The body looks almost like a sausage, prepared in a wrong way. |
| 23:48.16 | dromlexer | Too much meat at mid. |
| 23:48.16 | Monet | Well that's one way of looking at them |
| 23:48.29 | Monet | Oh...oh ourch, yeah that's bad |
| 23:48.42 | Tybusen | That was a pretty well-played insult |
| 23:48.45 | Tybusen | I applaud you sir |
| 23:49.11 | dromlexer | Thanks. |
| 23:49.11 | Wormy_ | At least there isn't too much meat in the upper portion hur |
| 23:49.15 | dromlexer | *bows down* |
| 23:49.54 | dromlexer | Too much fat, is inedible sausage. |
| 23:50.36 | Monet | Draconis - Y everyone keep calling us fat? |
| 23:50.57 | AdmiralPanda | Fordanta - Cus you not ripped like us. |
| 23:51.12 | AdmiralPanda | but seriously, I don't think a Fordanta's muscle would show that much under their thick scales |
| 23:51.17 | dromlexer | "The reason why they don't have enough of brain fat is because they put all of them in their belly instead." |
| 23:51.58 | dromlexer | Well. I'm just... *shading my head and smiling* |
| 23:52.12 | dromlexer | aaaahg. |
| 23:52.14 | Monet | Draconis - Ur all little shits |
| 23:52.17 | Tybusen | AdmiralPanda: TIAF insult for a Fordanta, perhaps: "dull green knifeheads" |
| 23:52.18 | dromlexer | it's shaking* |
| 23:52.28 | AdmiralPanda | Fordanta - Bro, we're taller than you |
| 23:52.41 | AdmiralPanda | Tybusen: Where does knife head come from? |
| 23:52.50 | dromlexer | Is this? |
| 23:52.51 | dromlexer | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Creature:Fordanta |
| 23:53.10 | Tybusen | The TIAF thinks the Fordanta are obssessed with swords, knife is a diminiuitive of sword |
| 23:53.11 | Monet | Draconis - Yeah but 14 meter wingspan |
| 23:53.35 | Wormy_ | Grimbies are supposed to be superstrong and tough but they don't look it lol |
| 23:54.03 | Wormy_ | Oh well, it sucks to bge anyone who under estmates them, thats all I can say |
| 23:54.17 | Tybusen | Coming up with insults actually requires a bit of knowledge about the target species |
| 23:54.23 | dromlexer | The fordanta being without a preview image is quite hard for me to find a fitting insult. |
| 23:54.41 | Tybusen | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Fordan_Empire There's an image here |
| 23:55.11 | dromlexer | Hmmm. |
| 23:55.35 | AdmiralPanda | an old image, they no longer have the second set of arms |
| 23:55.59 | dromlexer | Monet: Can I quote my race's insult on Draconis? Even they don't know each otehr. |
| 23:56.14 | AdmiralPanda | Tybusen: That makes sense somewhat, in fact I'd say that'd be more insulting because it's like saying the only thing the Fordanta think about is war, which is a HUGE oversimplification |
| 23:57.01 | Monet | dromlexer: I'm not stopping you. Most people insult their snobiness in quotes tbh |
| 23:58.25 | OluapPlayer | Our fictions insult each other on a daily basis |
| 23:58.36 | OluapPlayer | I know that because I do it a lot hur |
| 23:59.46 | dromlexer | Well. I have no noteable person to highlight with, I'd just put "Aemonkian Insult". |
