| 01:17.12 | Tek0516Droid | Current counted votes show s significant liberal lead. |
| 01:24.27 | Monet | That's good right? |
| 01:26.08 | Tek0516Droid | Liberals were the minority government incumbents who had an election called early following events including a series of scandaks on the billion dollar scale. |
| 01:27.18 | AdmiralPanda | wait where do you live Tek? |
| 01:27.26 | Tek0516Droid | Ontario. |
| 01:27.30 | AdmiralPanda | ah |
| 01:28.48 | Tek0516Droid | Apparently dodging questions and saying you apologized is enough to get the vote. |
| 01:29.11 | Monet | :politics: |
| 01:29.14 | AdmiralPanda | yeah |
| 01:29.38 | AdmiralPanda | or you go to Australia, where getting votes is as simple as telling the public everything the other guy did wrong over and over |
| 01:29.52 | AdmiralPanda | it's not a popularity contest, it's a who is least unpopular contest |
| 01:30.18 | Tek0516Droid | That's pretty much this election. Attack ads and bad leaders galore. |
| 01:32.47 | Tek0516Droid | Out here we the billion dollar scandal Liberals, the NDP who depite high taxes and the defecit being a sign issues are advocating big tax and spend policies, and the Conservatives who are using bad math for their big "million jobs plan". |
| 01:35.17 | Tek0516Droid | One station is now projecting a Liberal government. |
| 01:58.53 | Tek0516Droid | So at this point it looks like we might be able to say we elected a female, openly homosexual leader. Take that, 'Murica. |
| 02:02.00 | Angrydroid | ^ |
| 02:04.27 | Tek0516Droid | They're also projecting a Liberal majority, but I think its still too early to call that. |

| 03:31.12 | AdmiralPanda | Angrybirds Angrydroid are either of you functional? |
| 03:39.20 | Angrydroid | How can I help? |
| 03:39.30 | Angrydroid | Admiralpanda |
| 03:42.05 | AdmiralPanda | working on the Order of the Sable Rose, and working on things like weapons and armour |
| 03:42.13 | AdmiralPanda | and I felt like chatting about swords :P |
| 03:43.21 | Angrydroid | Hm. Well, are you going for a medieval or renaissance feel? |
| 03:46.03 | AdmiralPanda | medieval, I'm aiming for French style back when the French nobility were still good at doing things |
| 03:48.33 | Angrydroid | When was that? |
| 03:48.47 | AdmiralPanda | basically I'm working from a standard war sword, just thinking about how I'd tweak it to work better for cavalrymen |
| 03:49.56 | Angrydroid | Right. At the time, professional armies didn't exist and each knight owned his own equipment, so there were really no standardized swords or suits of armor |
| 03:50.40 | AdmiralPanda | I know that, but in my case they are somewhat of what you'd consider a professional army |
| 03:51.18 | Angrydroid | But knights used to fight with heavy flails, maces, two handed broadswords, hand-and-a-half swords, etc, all extremely heavy to puncture armor. |
| 03:51.42 | Angrydroid | Because knights usually fought other knights. |
| 03:51.58 | AdmiralPanda | broadswords and hand-and-a-half swords are both war swords |
| 03:52.11 | Angrydroid | Lances, too, were a thing, but they almost always broke on first impact. |
| 03:53.03 | AdmiralPanda | yeah, lances are a thing too, I'm just working on the swords at the moment |
| 03:53.09 | AdmiralPanda | since the sword is the most symbolic of their weapons |
| 03:54.04 | Angrydroid | Right. What kinds of enemies do they usually fight against? |
| 03:54.21 | Angrydroid | (Influences their choice of weapons) |
| 03:55.25 | AdmiralPanda | birds, I know weapons |
| 03:56.42 | AdmiralPanda | anyway, their main enemies don't employ plate, so I was aiming for something leaf-bladed but straight, so you have potential for stabbing attacks while still having plenty of weight for cutting through flexible armours |
| 03:59.53 | Angrydroid | Hm. Curved arabian-style swords seem like the best option |
| 04:00.23 | AdmiralPanda | for a pure cavalry sword yes, but I'm working from the principle that these swords will be used both on horseback and on foot |
| 04:00.25 | Angrydroid | Estoc swords wouldn't work because no edge. |
| 04:00.58 | AdmiralPanda | ^ |
| 04:01.06 | AdmiralPanda | as much as I love the Estoc, that thing belongs in the duelling ring |
| 04:01.28 | AdmiralPanda | fun fact, a few years ago I actually trained with the Estoc |
| 04:01.31 | Angrydroid | It's good for puncturing armor, too. |
| 04:09.07 | AdmiralPanda | but yeah, as I said, going for a leaf-bladed straight sword |
| 04:11.22 | AdmiralPanda | might make it a single-edge, but then again some leichtenauer techniques don't work with single-edged swords |
