00:00.03 | Cyrannian | The building is an old jail in which you dastardly British held Irish rebels. :P |
00:01.17 | Wormy | Atm, I'm doing a lot of things: My geology projects (trying to make a 3D map and put it on a website for networking), I'm learning javascript and doing some mathematical physics out of personal interest. I'm also striving to do new things this summer, like joining groups (cycling, martial arts, star gazing, walking I hope), and I'm running. Furthermore, I want to redecorate my room |
00:01.50 | Wormy | Somehow I've got to squeeze in fiction too |
00:02.04 | Wormy | Thats why I said I might need help |
00:02.27 | Cyrannian | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:United_Lanat_Empire - I made some updates here as a gift to Catface, take a look if you value your life. |
00:02.59 | Wormy | I saw, it is a great job you did |
00:03.22 | Wormy | I hope to continue to improve DCP-ULE relations so I'm glad they're listed as allies |
00:03.30 | OluapPlayer | Looks pretty good |
00:03.46 | OluapPlayer | I'm just gonna remove the Stratocracy of Karnagtah from the Allies section because they're kinda ded |
00:04.21 | Cyrannian | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Creature:Libertus - I also made a lot of updates here, so quotes would be fan-tucking-fastic. |
00:04.21 | Wormy | Its good how you've shown the Tralor not as barbaric as they might have been originally. Catface told me he wanted to change that or something. |
00:04.48 | *** join/#sporewiki Tek0516 (~TekDroid@24.114.69.177) |
00:06.29 | Wormy | Hooray, you made it http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140121213916/spore/images/c/c1/LibertusHistory.png |
00:08.18 | Cyrannian | Yup! The third from the left is probably the one I was using when I first started working with you and Dino. |
00:08.43 | Cyrannian | The first one kinda resembles a less detailed Draconis. |
00:09.20 | Wormy | Thats right |
00:09.43 | Wormy | I recognise the first from somewhere, perhaps Impy's old SSA video |
00:09.59 | Wormy | I'll quote it after DCP-Vermulan war section |
00:10.22 | Cyrannian | Yay |
00:11.47 | OluapPlayer | dat first Libertus |
00:12.35 | Technodroid | does this mean catface will return? :o |
00:13.31 | Cyrannian | Hopefully! He was discussing some plans with me yesterday and I think he'll have a part in the Mirus Campaign of Attero Dominatus. |
00:14.35 | Technodroid | test |
00:14.45 | Tek0516 | pass |
00:16.31 | Tybusen | A+ |
00:16.36 | Wormy | Tomorrow is my last day to do fiction before holiday |
00:16.48 | Wormy | I might finish the Station Halcyon episode |
00:17.34 | Wormy | Cyrannian, Tybusen: Will you be available at all tomorrow? |
00:17.50 | Cyrannian | Hopefully once I get home at about four. |
00:17.59 | Wormy | cool |
00:18.23 | Tybusen | I'm available after 5 PM PST |
00:18.38 | Tybusen | Which would be around this time tomorrow |
00:19.30 | Wormy | Might as well finish it with the station halcyon episode if we can |
00:20.38 | Tek0516 | ~test |
00:20.38 | infobot | from memory, test is not funny |
00:21.03 | Cyrannian | I'm really happy that I revived the Republic. For some reason, I feel less evil now then when I only had the Empire. :P |
00:21.16 | Wormy | lol |
00:21.27 | Technodroid | but evil is fun! |
00:21.35 | Technodroid | I have 3 empires, and they are all evil |
00:21.47 | Wormy_fiction | I have crazy empires |
00:22.08 | OfficerJackal_ | All of my empires, until the Hal'Sk were various dystopian failed states. :/ |
00:23.06 | Cyrannian | Indeed, but sometimes being nice is also fun! I get the feeling that the Libertus and Cyrannus were getting a bad reputation under the Empire, but hopefully now people view them more favourably. |
00:23.38 | Hachiman | Screw the Libertus, needs more Mortalitas :D |
00:23.56 | Wormy_fiction | I remember in the old old days the Libertus and URC as shining beacons of liberty |
00:24.03 | Tybusen | Wormy_fiction: It's going to be interesting to see how Katarina and Xigor's relationship develops as the GXS goes on |
00:24.22 | Wormy_fiction | Of course, I can see beneath both reputations that they are more comple than that |
00:24.32 | Wormy_fiction | Yeah |
00:24.42 | Cyrannian | Aye, giving the Mortalitas and the Basileus some extra spotlight in the Imperial State is also fun. :P |
00:24.50 | Wormy_fiction | It'll be my first relationship fiction |
00:25.34 | Tek0516 | Farengeto at this point is somewhere between utopia and dystopia. Socially, politically and economically great, but behind the scenes almost everything is manipulated by an AI. |
00:25.47 | Tybusen | Two people from opposing sides of the conflict, but both people are so disconnected from the war at home that it makes things less clear-cut |
00:26.41 | Tybusen | Bunsen seems to have a semi-major conflict every 10 years and then just rebuilds back to normal in 5 years |
00:26.59 | Tybusen | I wonder if I should start shaking Bunsen up sometime after GC |
00:27.15 | Cyrannian | One of the aims of the New Republic during the GC is to reclaim the prestige of the URC, perhaps by subtly chipping away at the Empire. |
00:28.43 | Tybusen | TIAF - we can give you guns you know |
00:28.54 | Wormy_fiction | The DCP hits its enemies a bit too hard, persecutes the conquered and the rebels, and is a police state to its people. On the other hand, it strives to make peace, to establish multi-member organisations, protect its allies, and gives its people a pretty good life |
00:29.16 | Wormy_fiction | <PROTECTED> |
00:29.25 | Technodroid | USO's population decreases anually |
00:29.27 | Technodroid | >:) |
00:30.11 | Tybusen | The TIAF I would say is a very nice place to live, with a lot of its internal issues kept under control, but on the international stage they might tend to get in over their heads on things or think that they know what's best for everyone |
00:31.20 | Tybusen | And they're certainly into the idea of peace via war |
00:31.49 | Angrybirds | The heart of France is a perfect utopia, providing everythingââincluding immortalityââfor its citizens, and generally keeping the population in a pervasive state of now. It's the perfect use of bread and circuses, to the point where the government can basically do whatever it wants as long as it doesn't disturb the peace inside France. |
00:33.12 | Cyrannian | Nightie night! |
00:33.45 | Angrybirds | Sure, there are exceptional citizens who engage in science, politics, diplomacy, etc, but most are just vegetative, losing themselves in virtual holodeck worlds. |
00:35.09 | Tybusen | I'm imagining a world like in the Lego Movie |
00:36.51 | Tybusen | And eventually Valery will launch his master plan to freeze everyone in place using Crazy Glue and become emperor of the croissants |
00:41.02 | TekDroid | lol |
00:46.29 | Angrybirds | I really should put more things on Valéry's page, though I have no idea just what I'm going to say... |

01:27.08 | DrodoEmpire | Hey! |
01:27.12 | Tek0516 | Hey OfficerJackal and DrodoEmpire |
01:27.15 | OfficerJackal | Turns out our house has termites, they were swarming all over the lights and everything. |
01:27.20 | DrodoEmpire | Ouch |
01:27.27 | OfficerJackal | Yep. :/ |
01:27.49 | Tek0516 | Damn, that really sucks. |
01:28.30 | OfficerJackal | Yeah, and this isn't even the first time we had termite issues. We had them a few months before and thought they were taken care of, since they were almost exclusively in my room and the laundry room. Now they are in the kitchen area. |
01:28.53 | OfficerJackal | Well, taken care of as in we got a pest control dude over. XD |
01:52.26 | Angrybirds | Patriot868 : Do you have a model for the G6 Longbow and the G6 artillery piece? |
01:52.47 | Patriot868 | No. I never have. I had to delete spore to keep my aging computer alive |
01:53.53 | Angrybirds | Understood. Do you think you'll ever be able to create on, or can I? |
01:54.18 | Patriot868 | You can. I was ass at making stuff anyways |
01:55.38 | Angrybirds | Tek0516 : Do you mind if the Corsicans buy the Osorio? |

02:20.05 | Angrybirds | THERE. |
02:20.09 | Angrybirds | THAT link works. |
02:20.56 | DrodoEmpire | Nice. :D |
02:21.40 | DrodoEmpire | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction%3ADrodo_Empire/Police_Force - Also, if anyone would want to propose a piece of equipment for the IDMP to adopt, just put it on the talk page or message me. |
02:21.58 | DrodoEmpire | This is sort of an experiment to see if anyone actually uses or wants to use the Arms Market. XD |
02:22.31 | DrodoEmpire | Refresh the page; I removed a disclaimer |
02:22.38 | Angrybirds | They might like the As Volant or the Franco-Corsican Agamemnon series. |
02:22.51 | DrodoEmpire | I see |
02:22.57 | DrodoEmpire | Links to the vehicles? |
02:23.40 | Angrybirds | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:France/French_Army#Gunships |
02:23.55 | DrodoEmpire | Alrighty; Taking a look now. |
02:25.26 | DrodoEmpire | I think they'd certainly be interested in adopting the Agamemnon. |
02:25.42 | DrodoEmpire | Seems more versitile and less, uh, "scary" then the As Volant. XD |
02:26.00 | Angrybirds | As Volant - ;) |
02:26.18 | Angrybirds | As Volant can still carry troops, but less than the Agamemnon. |
02:26.27 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
02:26.38 | Angrybirds | The model is on Sporepedia if you want to use it, under E-16 Agamemnon. |
02:26.43 | DrodoEmpire | Alright |
02:27.29 | DrodoEmpire | Though the Agamemnon, when used by the IDMP will need to ferry police, inspect the airspace, help in chases, and give heavy fire support/a better shooting angle. |
02:27.40 | DrodoEmpire | So that's really why I chose it over the As Volant |
02:28.16 | OfficerJackal | AngryBirds: Yeah, all of the stuff looks good, especially like the color scheme on the Oliphaunt, since I myself like to just slap white on EVERYTHING if I'm allowed too. |

02:38.49 | Angrybirds | DrodoEmpire: Alright. |
02:39.06 | DrodoEmpire | Hey Tel |
02:39.08 | DrodoEmpire | *Tek |
02:41.31 | Patriot868 | still working on this damm astrography pag |
02:41.49 | DrodoEmpire | Hm? |
02:42.18 | Patriot868 | Well, I finally got off my butt and decided to write up where the Hegemony actually is and what it owns. |
02:42.40 | DrodoEmpire | Ah. |
02:42.45 | DrodoEmpire | Alright. |
02:42.56 | Patriot868 | Its taking a while because Im trying to make each planet seem somewhat unique with out making everything ice planet hoth or tatooine |
02:43.12 | DrodoEmpire | I should probably have the Drodo colonize more galaxies. :P |
02:43.17 | DrodoEmpire | Hm |
02:43.54 | DrodoEmpire | Well, you could, to start with, just write up a summary of the province or region, say or show where it is with a map, and maybe describe the capital world. |
02:43.59 | DrodoEmpire | Then branch out from there. |
02:44.28 | DrodoEmpire | If doing everything at once is a bit too daunting. |
02:44.48 | Patriot868 | ya. I'm working on the general overview of a the regions, then putting in a "planets of note" in a tab format |
02:44.58 | DrodoEmpire | Okay. |
02:46.04 | Angrybirds | I'm looking for starships for Corsica's military. Their only starship got retconned. I'm probably going to have them have surplus Cassiels from France, but I need moar stuff. |
02:46.06 | DrodoEmpire | I should probably draw or sketch more pictures so I have at least something to put on my pages. XD |
02:46.23 | DrodoEmpire | Well, the Drodo are always happy to trade off there old ships. |
02:46.40 | Patriot868 | You could alwasy have a few Manta class corvettes from the Hegemony |
02:46.45 | DrodoEmpire | Or buy a production licence for there new line if you feel like going bankrupt. XD |
02:46.58 | Patriot868 | There more like ultra heavy dropships |
02:47.07 | Angrybirds | Corsica - Not going bankrupt might be nice. xD |
02:47.20 | Angrybirds | Patriot: Do they have a model? |
02:47.27 | Patriot868 | No. |
02:47.43 | Patriot868 | I literally have no models of anything I have ever written |
02:48.00 | Angrybirds | Ah. They're kind of necessary. :( |
02:48.11 | DrodoEmpire | I just draw. :P |
02:48.23 | DrodoEmpire | Which while good for ground troops I guess is not enough for vehicles. |
02:48.43 | DrodoEmpire | I'm just better at drawing then with Spore at any rate. Marginally. |
02:50.45 | Patriot868 | ehh, I'm just a competent writer. |
02:50.52 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
03:06.10 | Angrybirds | Guys. |
03:07.06 | DrodoEmpire | Mmhm? |
03:07.13 | Angrybirds | I love the sound of this Corsican fighter's name: ADC-55 Euro-Uragano d'Assualto |
03:07.23 | DrodoEmpire | Same. XD |
03:07.32 | Angrybirds | A variant of the Eurofighter Hurricane. :D |
03:07.59 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
03:09.20 | Patriot868 | Sounds beastly |

04:49.05 | Angrybirds_ | Same chassis, long-range artillery, also from South Africa: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/File:G6_Mk_2.png |
04:50.48 | Angrybirds_ | Variant of the Eurofighter Hurricane which carries either anti-tank missiles or anti-ship missiles, depending on the payload of those two antimatter missiles: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/File:ADC-55_Euro-Uragano_d%27Assualto.png |
04:51.34 | Angrybirds_ | Eurofighter tooled for long and short range anti-air combat: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/File:ADC-55_Euro-Uragano_Intercettatore.png |

04:54.08 | TekDroid | Those all look great Angrybirds_ |

05:02.30 | SpaceEngineJack | Yeah. :D |
05:03.03 | Angrybirds_ | In keeping with the jet that inspired it, a sustained barrage from that gun can pierce through a tank's shields as well as its armor. |

11:04.49 | Monet_ | Apparently, due to licensing issues (all the images and buzzer sounds they use), QI is unavailable in the USA. |
11:07.43 | Monet_ | For instance one episode on "Exploration" uses the theme music to Indian aJones and Star Trek the Original Series as buzzers |

11:18.56 | AdmiralPanda_ | Southwestern where? |
11:19.13 | Monet_ | England |
11:20.00 | Monet_ | "Oil' droiyve. Geet 'owt" |
11:20.10 | Womy | lol |
11:20.34 | AdmiralPanda_ | isn't that more or less how he normally talks? |
11:21.27 | Womy | Hm, I found an archaic 80 year old recorcording of Somerset accent that sounds American. Its because both are rhotic |
11:21.29 | Monet_ | It's how Germans percieve his accent. |
11:22.04 | Monet_ | Arnold Swartzenegger's German to autrians makes him sound like he's from the countryside. |
11:22.05 | Womy | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsB90aJ6Jp8&index=1 |
11:22.12 | Womy | try dat |
11:27.03 | Monet_ | The problem with stuff lik the Cornish or Somerset accent is, it can be intimidating but not shit-your-pants terrifying like say a strong German accent. |
11:27.16 | Monet_ | Or a heavy Scottish accent |
11:30.09 | Womy | Or even some Northern English accents |
11:30.54 | Womy | Maybe even cockney actually. Like some tough London businessman or dealder, or gangster |
11:31.10 | Womy | test |
11:31.14 | Monet_ | "'Ello darling!" |
11:31.27 | Womy | watches too much Eastenders |
11:31.58 | Womy | Phil Mitchel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANa7nn44kgg |
11:32.14 | Womy | The sole reasopn I watch Eastenders |
11:33.09 | Monet_ | I'd say phill has the added bonus of pulling off the look of a big butch thug. |
11:34.11 | AdmiralPanda_ | funnily enough, I find a cold but otherwise straight american accent to be the scariest, just because it's something so ordinary but at the same time threatening |
11:36.54 | Monet_ | Could be because it comes off as stern and calm when if you look at their media there's a lot of shouting. Just a thought |
11:37.43 | AdmiralPanda_ | not really, it's just the fact that the villain is otherwise normal |
11:39.22 | Monet_ | I hear that many British actors play villains. |
11:40.00 | AdmiralPanda_ | if anyone in a hollywood film has a british accent, they're either a secret agent or a villain |
11:40.04 | AdmiralPanda_ | occasionally both |
11:40.36 | Monet_ | Not all, I imagine Frank D'AMico from Kick Ass is one example of the sort of "cold American" accent you're referring to |
11:40.58 | Monet_ | Which is ironic really because Kick Ass's actor is a brit |
11:41.22 | AdmiralPanda_ | I more meant a standard american accent delivered coldly |
11:41.48 | AdmiralPanda_ | you know, talking with a wall street NY accent but utterly devoid of emotion |
11:42.21 | Womy | I know what you mean |
11:42.49 | Womy | One could imagine a female villain awith a cold, american accent |
11:44.10 | AdmiralPanda_ | one could imagine any villain as suh |
11:44.11 | AdmiralPanda_ | such* |
11:45.25 | Monet_ | Hmm |
11:46.17 | Monet_ | I od wonder if it has to do with that lack of emotion from a naturally-expressive culture. |
11:46.46 | AdmiralPanda_ | as I said, it's the normalcy |
11:47.05 | AdmiralPanda_ | the fact that it's the sort of accent any average person would have |
11:48.47 | Monet_ | Right. |
11:51.59 | ImpyDroid | Well a standard British accent too is... normal, in a sense |
11:53.24 | Womy | There isn't really a standard |
11:53.46 | Monet_ | I remembre reading that wealthier Americans, particularly of old-money families (but not all of them) have a tendancy to develop accents closer t oRP. |
11:54.16 | Womy | If you lived here long enough, because people move around, you'll get a kaleidoscope of accents |
11:54.36 | ImpyDroid | Monet: The Boston Brahmins, you mean? |
11:54.41 | ImpyDroid | Yeah they sound quite British |
11:54.42 | Womy | unless you was in a rurally area3 and everyone talks the same |
11:56.47 | ImpyDroid | I always found that strange BTW |
11:57.21 | Monet_ | Cosmopolitan areas tend to mash up cultural groups so accents become more neutralised. |
11:57.36 | Womy | Its a ridiculously varied land |
11:57.38 | ImpyDroid | UK and the USA are much smaller than Russia yet English is far more varied than Russian |
11:58.27 | Monet_ | That is interesting. |
11:58.57 | ImpyDroid | My sister has a babysitter from Uzbekistan and the only difference between my accent and hers is that hers is more lower-class so she pronounces certain words differently |
11:59.22 | Womy | UK is tiny but just in my county there is flat land and canals, a limestone white peak, a gritstone dark peak, forests, reservoirs, moorlands/bogs etc. No wonder people in the olden days didn't get around much |
11:59.24 | ImpyDroid | She puts stress on different syllables basically |
11:59.48 | ImpyDroid | *stresses different |
11:59.56 | Monet_ | I'd suggest that it may be because half of Russia is rather empty but then again that should encourage disparate accents. |
12:00.13 | Monet_ | Or most people live in urban communities |
12:00.31 | Womy | I'm hoping that tourists visit Northern England now le Tour de France had a grand depart in it http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1z8y65_les-villes-etapes-2014-visitez-le-yorkshire_sport?start=236 |
12:00.45 | ImpyDroid | Even Ukrainians when speaking Russian don't really have strong accents |
12:00.53 | Womy | Most foreigners think of London and Stone Henge and thats it |
12:01.36 | Monet_ | Yeah, when England comes to mind most foreigners seem to picture us speaking either RP or Cockney |
12:02.06 | ImpyDroid | definitely hur |
12:02.32 | Womy | There is over 50 types of dry stone wall in my county |
12:03.45 | ImpyDroid | Then again unlike you I live in a big city, so maybe that's why I get that impression |
12:03.52 | Monet_ | I grew up in a rather accent-neutral town but that's probably because in the early days it was a trade hub and these days its a popular place for commuters to live. |
12:05.49 | Monet_ | Its becoming more popular to live in than the county capital, and its there where the closest train station is to the town (about a 10 minute drive away) |
12:06.24 | ImpyDroid | Russia is heavily urbanised which is probably the reason Russian accents mix heavily nowadays |
12:06.38 | Womy | People have more dialect in my town but its in the countryside |

12:08.47 | Womy | Oh, and its quite working class-descended in my town |
12:09.10 | Womy | Working class is where you get more traditional accents |

12:09.35 | Womy | Lower class you get the street ones |
12:09.59 | Womy | middle class - any but its watered down |
12:10.17 | Monet_ | I think the most exotic accent I heard living in my hometwon was either a group of Greeks (or possibly Turks, not 100% on that) who tended a fish and chip shop. |
12:10.23 | Monet_ | Or Chinese. |
12:11.17 | Womy | Are farmers working class? I'm not sure if they fall into those categories but they are either very rich or very poor and may be very rurally or very posh |
12:12.22 | Monet_ | I it a mix I think |
12:12.38 | ImpyDroid | I think it depends on the farmer |
12:12.47 | ImpyDroid | And his wealth |
12:13.01 | Womy | Lots of farmers here are very wealthy or were at least |
12:13.12 | Monet_ | And there are people in recent years who dream of leaving the city and living in the country. |
12:13.36 | Monet_ | QUite an inversion to 200 years ago |
12:13.40 | Womy | There was a boom period where we had an overproduction with mountains of sugar and lakes of milk and warehouses crammed with frozen food |
12:14.50 | Womy | The countryside was badly managed |
12:15.00 | Womy | Rare species going extinct |
12:15.06 | Womy | vast monocultures |
12:15.29 | Womy | But in the 90's, there was real pressure to make the agricultural lands more biodiverse |
12:15.44 | Womy | This is a success story for conservation because now rare species are reyurning |
12:16.09 | Womy | the EU issues grants to farmers who prove how much managememt they do |
12:16.17 | Monet_ | Nice. |
12:16.54 | Womy | It is nice to know of success stories |

12:18.26 | Womy | You;d think its worse today intuitively but it was much more damaging in the 60s |

14:45.48 | AdmiralPanda_ | there's eight guns total, just spewing bullets up into the sky |
14:47.30 | Monet_ | Wow... |
14:47.37 | Monet_ | Certainly sounds lik soemthing |
14:49.07 | AdmiralPanda_ | they've got a really cool setup actually, the station is built into a hole in an asteroid, and it has a space tether that extends up out of the fields of the turret's fire to dock with cargo ships (they're kinda retarded when it comes to targeting ships) |
14:49.39 | AdmiralPanda_ | and when the asteroid is mined out they convert the station to a ship and fly it off under its own power |

15:09.41 | ImpyDroid | Apparently "Nigus" is Amharic (Ethiopian) for "king" |
15:09.46 | ImpyDroid | Ethiopians y u |
15:11.58 | Monet_ | Well how is it pronounced? |
15:12.29 | Monet_ | Is the g a "gh" or a "juh"? |
15:14.27 | Monet_ | Speaking of language, I find it woerd how "cunt" is horribly offensive in American english but calling someone it in British english is equivilent to calling someone a "dick" or an "areshole". |
15:14.59 | Monet_ | Meanwhile, "fannie" in American means "bum" while in British it's "vagina" |
15:15.15 | Wormy | "prick" is also asupposed to be more offensive that it sounds |
15:15.29 | AdmiralPanda_ | and a fag is a bundle of sticks |
15:15.33 | Wormy | "Fannie" used to be an old name |
15:15.45 | ImpyDroid | Monet_: The former |
15:15.50 | Monet_ | Although it can als obe spelt "fanny" |
15:16.47 | Wormy | It is a shame there isn't more swear words |
15:16.51 | ImpyDroid | AdmiralPanda_: The word "fag" is in fact related to the word "fascism" |
15:17.01 | Wormy | I always think there is too few in popular use |
15:17.23 | Monet_ | Also unlike "pussy", fanny is hardly ever used t odescribe somoene. |
15:17.54 | ImpyDroid | Russian has less swear roots but these can be altered and transformed in many ways |
15:18.28 | ImpyDroid | So, for example, a Russian can form an entire sentences formed solely of the derivatives of the word "dick", or rather the Russian equivalent thereof |
15:18.40 | Monet_ | Wormy: Yeah, most kids these days seem to stick to the f, c and s words. |
15:19.27 | Monet_ | ALso "bugger", used quite innocuolusly but in reality its meaning is comparable to "fuck" |
15:19.31 | Wormy | http://mentalfloss.com/article/49652/10-old-fashioned-swears-spice-your-cussin |
15:20.04 | ImpyDroid | Buggery meant "homosexuality" originally |

15:20.38 | ImpyDroid | From the word "Bulgarian" because I guess Brits didn't like them hur |
15:21.03 | Wormy | "THUNDERATION" |

15:25.00 | Monet_ | Hello |
15:25.35 | ImpyDroid | Well he would probably use the name of his birthplace as one |
15:25.38 | ImpyDroid | Hi Cye |

15:25.42 | ImpyDroid | *Cyr |

15:26.10 | Wormy | H. ? |
15:26.13 | AdmiralPanda_ | same thing |

15:26.33 | AdmiralPanda_ | who knows |
15:26.40 | Monet_ | I have no idea |

15:26.47 | ImpyDroid | His actual name is reconstructed as "Jeshua ha-Nozri" |
15:27.28 | ImpyDroid | *Yehoshua ha-Nozri |
15:27.30 | Wormy | Didn't they find an old manuscript stating Jesus was once believed to have a wife |
15:27.33 | Cyrannian | "Jesus of Nazareth" was used on the plaque that the Romans put on the cross, if you believe in that sort of thing. |
15:27.36 | Monet_ | "ha" being "of" right? |

15:28.58 | Wormy | Do you think he existed? |
15:29.07 | Monet_ | Cyrannian: If he was crucified as they say, I imagine that sort of thing would have been done to give a name to passers-by. |
15:29.09 | ImpyDroid | There is historical proof of this I believe |
15:29.19 | Cyrannian | I know; I mean if you believe that the Romans placed the plaque on the cross. |
15:29.32 | Wormy | I think there might have been a man named Jesus, but the Jesus of Christianity is an idea of him |
15:29.36 | AdmiralPanda_ | there is proof that a man by the name of Iesus existed, but the Iesus that existed didn't do any of the things the bible said |
15:30.07 | AdmiralPanda_ | and he certainly wasn't no white man |

15:30.20 | AdmiralPanda_ | :P |
15:30.21 | ImpyDroid | Well |
15:30.41 | ImpyDroid | One may count the Middle Eastern people as "white" |
15:30.52 | Monet_ | If Jesus' cross was given a plaque, I doubt it was special treatment. |
15:30.54 | Wormy | I wonder the same about the Buddha. But of course, that doesn't matter to Buddhists who must desatroy the idea of him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C5%8Dan#Killing_the_Buddha |

15:31.52 | ImpyDroid | Semites are Caucasian roo |
15:31.52 | Cyrannian | I think the story is that the Romans placed a plaque on the cross saying "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" to mock the Sanhedrin. |

15:36.00 | AdmiralPanda_ | A research group in britain once went back through the fossil records to reconstruct the likely appearance of an average Israeli man back in the day |
15:36.25 | AdmiralPanda_ | and a noticeable trend was an inclination towards the facial features of darker skinned subraces |

15:38.26 | Monet_ | Cyrannian Wormy: Good to see the two figures talking so amicably. Although I do think Apollo may be simplifying the situation a bit by summing up the cause of the SSA division under "petty territorial disputes" |
15:38.29 | ImpyDroid | AdmiralPanda_: The modern portrayals of Jesus as a white guy stem from a long-standing traditions in Christian art to portray Biblical characters in accordance to one's own time period and region |

15:42.58 | ImpyDroid | Think Stalin or System of a Down |
15:43.07 | Wormy | One definition is an ethinic group, the other is a racial concept. |
15:43.31 | ImpyDroid | I meant the racial concept |
15:43.56 | Monet_ | Once AB and I get the first sections of the Great Xonexi Schism up, the situation may become a little more clear. Although I think it is a territorial dispute in Mirus |
15:44.24 | Cyrannian | By the time that story is set, he has yet to see any good reason for order-seeking civilisations to destabilise the Gigaquadrant. |
15:45.08 | Monet_ | RIght I'm going to assume this is his very personal opinion then. |
15:45.31 | AdmiralPanda_ | what's what now? I lost track of things |
15:45.53 | Cyrannian | As well as that of the New Republic's government. |
15:45.56 | ImpyDroid | It doesn't matter now I guess |
15:46.14 | AdmiralPanda_ | What's whose personal opinion? I'm confused |
15:46.46 | ImpyDroid | BTW did I sound rude or offensive somehow or something? I did not intend to act like a "Meaning Nazi" |
15:47.05 | AdmiralPanda_ | not really |
15:47.25 | ImpyDroid | Oh |
15:47.28 | ImpyDroid | Right |
15:47.34 | Monet_ | AdmiralPanda: "APollo - Yes, I feel it [the upcoming GC] too. Petty territorial disputes and political backstabbing are tearing the Gigaquadrantic and the Seven Starr Alliance apart. I know our civilisations... differ on how to deal with this chaos, but I fear that our brief time of peace after the War of Ages and Great Cyrannus War is coming to an end." |
15:48.00 | Monet_ | I was commenting on Apollo's opinion |
15:48.06 | AdmiralPanda_ | ah now things make sense |
15:48.19 | AdmiralPanda_ | I thought you were talking about the whole Xhonesi thing being Angrybirds' opinion or something |
15:49.17 | Monet_ | Nah. |
15:49.36 | Cyrannian | Since he feels that there is something or someone provoking all of this, he thinks that going to war with other civilisations in light of this chaos is counter productive. |
15:50.28 | Wormy | The DCP isn't the bad guy in GC really, its just the crazy one |
15:50.33 | Monet_ | Well...GITO's foundation was motivated by the Imperialisation of the UTU |
15:50.54 | Wormy | And a movement to bring down established powers |
15:53.14 | Cyrannian | The UTU is a neutral party, the Empire only has control over the wormholes leading to its territory. With the formation of the New Republic, its influence over the Cyrannian portion of the network is lessened. Besides, with the amount of territory that the Empire holds, they wouldn't see a lot of point in completely taking over a trading bloc. |
15:53.58 | Monet_ | I think the main members of the power bloc easily show that order can be fostered with a sword and a firm hand as well as a diplomatic agreement. |
15:54.14 | Cyrannian | (And since the UTU is shared, out of universe, I wouldn't be able to do so) |
15:55.57 | Monet_ | Trade does more than offer the exchange of goods. |
15:56.14 | TekDroid | UTU page: " When the United Republic of Cyrannus was reformed into the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus, the Universal Trade Union's Cyrannian influence became highly Imperialised, with the Empire using the Trade Union to spread Imperial interests further across the Gigaquadrant." |
15:58.35 | Cyrannian | No mention of the UTU becoming any less neutral. It can be expected that a civilisation would want to join a trading bloc to spread their influence, especially when they have a negative reputation abroad. In any case, I have yet to update that with the formation of the Republic. |
15:59.33 | Monet_ | I think GTIO in-universe came about while the NCR was still the Republic in Exile. |
16:00.03 | Cyrannian | What year was it formed? |
16:00.12 | TekDroid | 2798, IIRC |
16:00.23 | TekDroid | Or maybe earlier. |
16:00.58 | Monet_ | The idea was generated in 2797 |
16:00.59 | TekDroid | Late 2797. |
16:01.09 | Cyrannian | The same year as the formation of the Republic, I'd imagine. |
16:01.16 | TekDroid | With origins reaching back to 2790. |

16:02.23 | Monet_ | What happened? |
16:02.48 | Xho | Well we thought I had some reaction to something at home and the general schemes to prevent it didn't work so well |
16:02.59 | Xho | So the hospital put me under a seven hour observation |

16:05.44 | Xho | Not going to be fun tomorrow |

16:07.17 | Xho | My manager is on holiday, my co-worker who does the same job as me (and there's only two of us who do this job) was on holiday as well |
16:07.17 | Monet_ | You can now officially tell people your workplace would fall apart without you. |
16:08.30 | Xho | True |
16:09.12 | TekDroid | It was probably a bad idea for 2 of the 3 of you to be on holiday at once. |
16:09.18 | Xho | Probably |
16:09.26 | Xho | It always is usually |

16:12.18 | Xho | Nice |
16:12.34 | AdmiralPanda_ | Fordan Empire clothes: optional |
16:13.04 | Monet_ | Draconis - You guys have no sense of style |
16:13.09 | Xho | Fordanta - BORN FREE AS FREE AS THE WIND BLOWS |
16:13.34 | Monet_ | DI human - Oh please Drakon NOOOO! |
16:15.18 | AdmiralPanda_ | Fordanta - The only man who needs clothes is a man with insecurities. |
16:16.25 | Xho | Nu - dam straight |
16:16.32 | AdmiralPanda_ | but seriously, with their natural armour and ready adaptation to the environment, the Fordanta never really saw the need to wear clothes for the sake of wearing clothes |
16:16.42 | AdmiralPanda_ | armour yes, but clothing not really |
16:16.43 | Monet_ | DI Human - And what about the man with little body hair in the tundra? |
16:17.01 | Xho | Fordanta - tell him to drink a cup of man the fuck up |
16:17.04 | AdmiralPanda_ | Fordanta - The man with little body hair should not be in the tundra. The man is an idiot. |
16:17.14 | AdmiralPanda_ | also that |
16:17.18 | AdmiralPanda_ | that works too :P |
16:20.17 | Xho | I would like to do a fiction on someone's time on Paclernos |
16:20.32 | Xho | Although I dunno what species would be brave or mad enough to step into Paclernos' 'wilderness' |
16:20.46 | Monet_ | Loron? |
16:20.53 | Xho | Loron are definitely mad enough |
16:21.15 | Xho | Paclernos is one of the planets mostly untouched by modern technologies in Kicath culture |
16:21.28 | TekDroid | Many of the crazy warrior races in general. |
16:21.59 | Xho | So most of it is still an arid planet |
16:22.37 | Xho | Cyrannian: http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140726231107/spore/images/5/5a/BaradavonClass.png I like this ship |
16:22.47 | Monet_ | How much would a hazardous environment suit increase your survivability? |
16:23.07 | Cyrannian | Thanks! They are used by the Andromedan Libertus. |
16:23.14 | Xho | Well considering most warrior races are considerably advanced, quite a lot |
16:23.36 | TekDroid | Reminds me of that ship that gets blpwn up in the beginning of Episode I. |
16:24.02 | Xho | As for creatures, well, the luminous eyes might give it away due to frequent low-visibility sandstorms on Paclernos |
16:24.03 | Monet_ | Xho: We could risk a couple of Theians. |
16:24.39 | Xho | Mostly an evolutionary trait in order to identify members of your pack from a distance just by looking at the eye type and colour |
16:25.05 | Xho | Most creatures on Paclernos are docile except for an expected few |
16:26.24 | Monet_ | I oculd offer a few Theians however being on average 1.6m tall they are rather tiny for Paclernos |
16:26.38 | Xho | Kicath - u'll b fine |
16:26.56 | Xho | I'm not very sure how a Kicath born on Paclernos would view the planet actually |
16:27.27 | Xho | Being born in the cities you're not very susceptible to Kicath-style predator creatures running about |
16:28.03 | Xho | Oh well, Paclernos is far safer than Mahanaya |
16:28.29 | Xho | Mahanaya is like a planet version of Australia where there's many, many, many species who want to eat you |
16:29.03 | Monet_ | Theian - Nova Thei ironically is a bit like that. |
16:29.06 | TekDroid | Wow, Guardians of the Galaxy has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes so far. |
16:29.19 | Xho | That and a peak temperature of 152°C does make it a bit of a 'steer away from this place' kinda place |
16:29.46 | Xho | Though that's near the equator where shit really gets inhospitable for even desert races like Mahanayans |
16:30.26 | Xho | Imagine arid firestorms thousands of kilometres long, nothing is going to even want to get through that |
16:30.54 | Monet_ | Mahanayan - Why is outr homeworld so shit |
16:31.05 | Xho | Xhodocto - not our fault okay yes it is why do you have to be such a bitch |
16:31.34 | Monet_ | Mahanayan - Because you ruined our home. |
16:32.20 | Xho | Xhodocto - do u c the kicath being bitches because the xi'arazulha ruined their home i dunt think so |
16:32.54 | Monet_ | Thinking about it. |
16:33.37 | Monet_ | Is it me or are the Draconis and the Artharons the only species with a homeworld that is -not- a death world? |
16:34.03 | Xho | Kicath - our planet ain't a death world okay it might be to you but not to us |
16:34.15 | Xho | That being said Mahanaya is a death world even for the Mahanayans |
16:34.40 | Monet_ | Mahanayans - C, Kicath can tame their homeworld, we can't. |
16:35.03 | Xho | Xhodocto - dats cuz it was our fault hih |
16:35.36 | Xho | Most of the Mahanayan cities are fortified to the point that orbital bombardment wouldn't do much against it |
16:35.39 | AdmiralPanda_ | Xho: A Fordanta would probably enjoy the challenge |
16:35.56 | Xho | Nonetheless creatures that were evolved by a Xhodocto artifact |
16:36.03 | AdmiralPanda_ | given that Forda itself is a death world, they'd probably have a decent time |
16:36.21 | Monet_ | And on the flipside, the Theians are a science-oriented species with an adopted homeworld covereed in jungles with people-sized bugs. |
16:36.22 | Xho | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Planet%3AMahanaya/Species Well there's the catalogue of ded |
16:38.13 | Monet_ | They're all the size of buildings |
16:38.29 | Monet_ | Except the last one which is the size of a city |
16:38.33 | Xho | Mahanyan - well look at us |
16:39.02 | Xho | I'm not sure whether the absence of the Xhodocto Eye will change the environment |
16:39.35 | Xho | If it does I imagine Mahanaya's life would all die as a result |
16:39.39 | Monet_ | Mahanayan - Our planet is too fucked to recover |
16:41.19 | TekDroid | Farengeto - What the hell is wrong with this universe? |
16:41.27 | Xho | Xhodocto - u |
16:41.35 | Xho | And that's the Xhodocto in a nutshell |

17:27.05 | Monet_ | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Draconid_Imperium/Society#Immortality_Care this might interest some people. |
17:27.48 | Monet_ | I was reminded of the world described in Baxter's Transcendant reading this |
17:28.01 | Monet_ | So WOrmy you might be itnrigued |
17:30.58 | Monet_ | intrigued* |
17:31.44 | Monet_ | Wormy * (I keep doing that) |
17:31.55 | TekDroid | So there'll be individuals in there who are millenia old, continual growing? |
17:32.54 | Monet_ | Scary as it sounds yes |
17:33.20 | Monet_ | Although by that point they may prefer to use holomasking technology to make them look a more approachable size. |
17:33.27 | TekDroid | I imagine so of the oldest must completely dwarf a typically Draconis. |
17:34.08 | Monet_ | Oh yeah. Also there may or may not be Draconis who are old enough to remember the founfing othe Imperium |
17:35.11 | Monet_ | Preventing death by getting too big can be solved by sticking one in a large enough habitat with microgravity. |
17:35.15 | TekDroid | recalls the time he scrolled back his SporeWiki clock by millenia and didn't even make a dent in the Imperium calendar |
17:35.16 | TekDroid | O.o |
17:35.50 | Monet_ | Draconis that old I wonder if they'd even notice you. |
17:35.59 | Monet_ | If you visited |
17:36.18 | TekDroid | I'd think after a while many of the organs would have trouble keeping up. |
17:37.04 | AdmiralPanda_ | presumably the organs grow as well |
17:37.10 | Monet_ | I can't remmeber if I mentioned it but I think as Draocnis age their metabolisms slow down |
17:38.08 | Monet_ | Yeah, I recall mentioning that older Draconis become less active. |
17:38.37 | Monet_ | That woudld presumably put less pressure on the organs. |
17:39.09 | Monet_ | The downside is once a draocnis starts racking up the millenia, they'd be very sluggish. |
17:39.41 | TekDroid | Since they'll mostly just be drifying space they'll definitely reduce their needs. |
17:43.33 | TekDroid | If there are any still alive from the founding I'd think they'll need their own space stations. XD |
17:44.07 | Monet_ | Some Draconis enter this state rich enough to live in orbital estates. |
17:44.09 | Angrybirds | test |
17:44.18 | TekDroid | pass |
17:45.09 | Monet_ | What might offset the power these Draconis may hold is that eventually, as their age continues to increase, their fidelity within society decreases as life becomes too fast-paced for the mto kee pup |
17:45.27 | Monet_ | for them to keep up* |
17:46.43 | Angrybirds | Corsica now actually has a military: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Corsican_Republic/Military#Vehicles :D |
17:47.07 | Angrybirds | As opposed to... Well... A token budget defense force. |
17:47.16 | TekDroid | lol |
17:47.30 | Monet_ | However because Draocnis favour age due to the wisdom it offers, name-dropping that you are the employtee of one of these immortals will most-likely give you a hefty level of persuasive power |
17:48.18 | TekDroid | I'd think most of them would be a little old fashioned though. |
17:48.29 | TekDroid | Rather stagnant. |
17:49.20 | AdmiralPanda_ | I imagine some less scrupulous organisations would attempt to associate themselves with these ancients purely to benefit from that. |
17:49.26 | Xho | OluapPlayer: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=292670487 may i borrow ur powers |
17:49.38 | Monet_ | Tekdroid: Agreed. Hence why there is question as to whether or not the Imperium should allow them to exist. |

18:21.30 | Xho | The fact I admit it is probably the biggest instance of assholery on the wiki I believe |

18:24.17 | Monet_ | I'm not sure what to think o nthose horse masks, the expression they give makes the horse ilook like it s about to shit itself. |

21:14.19 | Tek0516 | So today is the centennial of the start of World War I. |
21:14.56 | Hachiman | I know they use the Spline to get around and trade with others but achieving spaceflight by themselves must've been an ordeal and a half at that point in their history |
21:15.43 | Wormy | Hachiman: I think its possible that the Spline might have visited their world first |
21:16.47 | Wormy | It isn't so hard to imagine an aquatic species achieving technological civilisation but the Qax are so incredibly fragile its hard to conceive |
21:19.32 | Monet_ | That is one of the obstacles to an aquatic civilisation - how do they get stuff it into orbit? |
21:19.35 | Hachiman | Aye, there's also the fact that they're apparently short-lived and not very numerous, a couple hundred/couple thousand at most |
21:21.00 | Wormy | Freitas rights about advanced aquatic civs http://www.xenology.info/Xeno/20.3.2.htm |

21:22.04 | Xho | Hachiman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1vvayRpcEU |
21:23.08 | Wormy | The turbulent cells of the Qax meant that they might be able to manipulate the environment through whatever medium supports tubulence. They may eventually craft solid tools that float and can manipulates objects from distance |

21:24.02 | Catface | Hello. |
21:24.10 | Wormy | Of course, plenty of early human technologies could be dangerous, like fire |
21:24.59 | Monet_ | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Anduar%27s_Voyages AB and I made a story. |
21:25.00 | Wormy | and involve environments that would kill a human, so its parochial to argue the Qax are simply too fragile. If they can create knowledge, they can find solutions |
21:25.33 | Hachiman | And then Jim Bolder caused them to blow up their own sun |
21:25.46 | Wormy | lol |
21:25.52 | Hachiman | Although afterward the Qax adapted to life on gas giants, didn't they? |
21:26.08 | Xho | >frail life >adapts to gas giants |
21:26.11 | Xho | Go on |
21:26.15 | Wormy | Gas giants, galactic orbits, and eventually, the seething quantum foam |
21:26.32 | Wormy | Xho: The Qax are cells of living turbulence |
21:27.15 | Monet_ | So theoretically they adopted to living on gas giants by becoming living clouds or air currents. |

21:28.16 | Wormy | Just as we build space stations to live in a vacuum of space. I think assuming them as frail is parochial, we are frail in those environments too yet we can use knowledge |
21:28.46 | Wormy | The Qax were exceedingly advanced by then anyway, humanity was afterall, conquered by a pool of mud |
21:28.57 | Wormy | mwah hah hah |
21:29.16 | Hachiman | A pool of mud that had tamed giant spacefaring biological warships |
21:29.39 | Wormy | The Qax also put up a fight against the Photino Birds 4 million AD in a last battle of baryonic defiance |
21:29.57 | Hachiman | I bet the Spline suffered in that battle |
21:30.03 | Wormy | They fired stars at ultra-relativistic velocities through hyperspace |
21:30.30 | Wormy | They were tricked by humans again |
21:30.44 | Wormy | Well, a quantum-human, named Paul |
21:31.00 | Wormy | The Qax hunted the last remnants of humanity |
21:31.23 | Wormy | But Paul showed how the Photino Birds were destroying the ring |

21:42.04 | Wormy | I don't have much liking for the Qax |
21:42.22 | Wormy | They are cool and all in that sense, but evil and got what they deserved |
21:45.14 | Wormy | Hachi: Someone did an artist rendition of the Qax http://freethoughtblogs.com/zingularity/2011/08/15/what-would-aliens-look-like/ |
21:46.07 | Xho | "Real aliens would surely be very different from anything we can imagine." |
21:46.11 | Xho | See now this guy gets me |
21:46.57 | Wormy | I'm pretty sure there could be very exotic aliens out there if complexity allows for it |
21:47.29 | Technodroid | is there a way to access blocked sites through a proxy or something |
21:47.40 | Technodroid | my fucking cruise ship decided it would be a good idea to block the wiki |
21:47.44 | Wormy | You'd like the Xeelee Sequence though it has a lot of physics in it |
21:47.57 | Wormy | no idea |
21:49.19 | Monet_ | I think so but I don't think its normally...legal. |
21:49.29 | Technodroid | fuck the law |
21:49.45 | Hachiman | If you wanna risk getting kicked off the boat hur |
21:49.51 | Technodroid | well |
21:49.55 | Hachiman | Wormy: So the PhoBirds cut a lightyear-thick gap through the Ring? |
21:50.06 | Wormy | The cruise ship may also have such proxy or access sites blocked too |
21:50.12 | Technodroid | I paid good money for unlimited internet access and was told nothing about any restrictions of any kind |
21:50.12 | Wormy | yes |

21:51.03 | Xho | You wouldn't happen to be on a med cruise right now would you |
21:51.05 | DrodoEmpire | Well then try asking whoever is in charge of that about what's wrong. :P |

21:51.41 | Technodroid | and they were just useless and unhelpful both times |
21:51.47 | Technodroid | eh, better ask again tomorrow |
21:52.09 | Monet_ | Xho: How would being on a med cruise affect things? |
21:52.30 | Xho | Nothing, just wondering |
21:53.31 | Wormy | I don't get why SporeWiki would be blocked |
21:53.57 | Monet_ | NSFW rating perhaps? |
21:54.07 | Hachiman | Makes me wonder how the PhoBirds actually attack because from the sound of things their bodies are enough to tear stuff apart |
21:54.08 | Wormy | I've seen at colleges and unis that Wikipedia occasionally blocks the ip of the college |
21:54.39 | Wormy | We are not sure what Photino bird tech is like, even if they have any |
21:54.59 | Technodroid | the category it's blocked under is |
21:55.03 | Technodroid | "Games" |
21:55.07 | Wormy | But although they are dark matter creatures, they still have a gravitational interaction |
21:55.29 | Wormy | What? Why would a cruise ship block that? |
21:55.50 | Wormy | Its not like you are actually streaming games on it |
21:55.50 | Monet_ | Sounds lie the cruise staff would prefer you interacting with other crusie-goers or attending events they've set up |
21:55.56 | Monet_ | like* |
21:56.17 | Wormy | Maybe they should block facebook because of FB apps |
21:56.24 | Wormy | under that criterion |
21:57.02 | Technodroid | no, it's just that they're retarded |
21:57.07 | Technodroid | this is a holiday for fuck's sake |
21:57.11 | Wormy | As I was saying, enough photino birds will have a consierdable mass |
21:57.32 | Wormy | to emulate gravitational technologies |
21:57.50 | Hachiman | So basically, the PhoBirds use the Zerg tactic :P |
21:58.04 | Wormy | Yeah, if they don't use tech |
21:58.20 | Monet_ | Except the zerg tactic can cause supernovae. |
21:58.33 | Wormy | or cut through the ring |
21:58.46 | Wormy | or crush Qax Spline ships into black holes |
21:59.22 | Monet_ | My trips to New York and Iceland kept me busy enough that I couldn't really spend my evenings gaming. |
22:00.12 | Wormy | Maybe the cruise ship's wifi controllers (don't know a better name) are anti-gaming |

22:03.08 | Xho | That's a new one |
22:03.15 | Wormy | "Ban Bossy" is another one |
22:03.37 | Monet_ | I learned that in GTA V you can play the stock market - Cue some GTA fans saying the mechanic sucks because it can act as a sure-fire money sink and you proportionately don't get much back.. |
22:03.56 | Wormy | Some feminists think the word bossy should be banned encase it stops young girls taking leadership roles: of course, leaders ARE bossy |
22:04.06 | Monet_ | I get the feeling these fans haven't actualyl played the stock market |

22:05.55 | Monet_ | I can vouch. |

22:06.33 | Wormy | I really can't stand this latest generation of feminists > I'm not against equality and stuff but you know my stance on dogoodery and social justice warriors and narcissists |
22:06.36 | Monet_ | The first guy I met in the open world of Online got out of his shiny violet supercar and blew my brains out, then chased me down three tiems until I activated passive mode |
22:06.50 | Xho | Yeah passive mode is always a safe bet hur |
22:07.10 | Monet_ | Wierdly, after we talked for a bit, we worked together to rob a string of shops. |
22:07.12 | Wormy | In fact I think these feminazis are actually bullies |
22:07.23 | Xho | Everyone's inner psychopath flourishes into a not-so-beautiful butterfly on GTA V Online |
22:07.26 | Wormy | They bully other women to think like them |
22:07.51 | Monet_ | Xho: Wierdly, I like it |
22:07.57 | Xho | I would |
22:08.07 | Xho | But I can't go down the road and expect to survive it |
22:08.20 | Monet_ | Well there was this one job... |
22:09.07 | Monet_ | It was a team deathmatch, there were three of us, i was on one team and two mid-levels were on another and the map was a bridge littered with ruined cars and buses |
22:09.42 | Monet_ | I got murdered, but after about three minutes of massacre I managed to rack a few kills. |
22:09.49 | Wormy | Right I better get ready for my holiday |
22:09.57 | Wormy | has not even packed yet |
22:10.03 | Xho | I'm not very good at online multiplayer unless it's TF2 Mann vs Machine |
22:10.05 | Monet_ | Odere |
22:10.22 | Xho | I should try playing with my Xbox 360 controller |
22:10.29 | Wormy_semi_here | I get my arse wupped in STO |
22:10.38 | Xho | The whole WASD format gets on my nerves when playing multiplayer |
22:11.33 | Monet_ | I have GTA on the PS3 |
22:11.49 | Monet_ | Its fun, a bit addictive and tense |
22:12.30 | Monet_ | I li how one can paly tennis and golf |
22:12.30 | Xho | Console games are good but my Xbox Live friends list all seem to have died |
22:12.48 | Xho | A few have quite literally died but still |
22:13.16 | Monet_ | Ouch |
22:13.58 | Xho | Anyway I must be going to sleep |
22:14.06 | Monet_ | Alright |
22:14.09 | Xho | I've had a long, annoying and uneventful day |
22:14.20 | Xho | SEVEN FUCKING HOURS IN A&E AND FOR WHAT |
22:14.26 | Wormy_semi_here | Better luck tomorrow. |
22:14.31 | Monet_ | An ulcer |
22:14.37 | Monet_ | Yeah, not a god day |
22:14.56 | Wormy_semi_here | You'll have to wait till Thorsday |
22:14.56 | Xho | Actually we're not sure whether the ulcer was there at the beginning or came up during the day |
22:15.09 | Xho | Yeah, Thursday is pay-day for me hur |
22:15.24 | Wormy_semi_here | lucky guess |
22:15.57 | Xho | "eating certain foods â such as chocolate, coffee, peanuts, almonds, strawberries, cheese, tomatoes and wheat flour" may cause a mouth ulcer |
22:16.07 | Xho | I did have something that contained wheat flour this morning |
22:16.26 | Xho | Although it seemed like I had an allergic reaction to something else |
22:16.31 | Xho | Bah I dunno it's all over and I want to sleep |
22:16.39 | Wormy_semi_here | How serious do they have to be to warrant medical attention? |
22:16.51 | Monet_ | Sleep well. |
22:17.05 | Wormy_semi_here | Because I get mouth ulcers a lot, possibly because my not so perfectly aligned teeth |
22:17.23 | Wormy_semi_here | means accidental biting a lot |
22:17.33 | Xho | Well my teeth have had a lot of work done to them when I was younger so they're pretty good now |
22:17.39 | Wormy_semi_here | Well, I had braces so its corrected them somewhat |
22:17.59 | Xho | But ulcers I think only warrant medical attention when they last a long time |
22:18.09 | Wormy_semi_here | yeah |
22:18.15 | Xho | There's a possibility of mouth cancer if that's the case |
22:18.37 | Monet_ | My advise is to not think too much about that |
22:18.49 | Wormy_semi_here | I'm terrified of cancer |
22:19.08 | Monet_ | They are making good strides with combating it however. |
22:19.36 | Wormy_semi_here | Aye, but I think somethings wrong with me I can't help but think about it |
22:19.47 | Wormy_semi_here | *if I think |
22:20.01 | Xho | Anyway I am going to sleep now |
22:20.03 | Wormy_semi_here | bye |
22:20.09 | Monet_ | Nightie night. |
22:20.09 | Xho | If I have to say it one more time I will internally scream |

22:26.21 | Monet_ | Hi |
22:26.24 | Monet_ | Those adverts where airplane cabin crew announce "if you had booked with company X you could have saved a lot of money", I can't help feel the cabin crew come off as dicks. |
22:26.25 | drom | Hey |
22:26.57 | Monet_ | Especialyl those ones where they announce mid-lflight |
22:27.31 | drom | Well. Atleast they are telling our mistakes. |
22:28.19 | Monet_ | And the ones who indicate which passengers spent more moneythan they could have? |
22:30.30 | Tek0516 | Never seen that happen before. |
22:31.06 | drom | Me neither. |
22:31.11 | Hachiman | Might actually read a book in bed |
22:31.55 | Tek0516 | *loads EUIV save* *crashes several seconds after loading* ...Oh no. |
22:32.37 | DrodoEmpire | Uh oh |
22:32.39 | DrodoEmpire | What's wrong? |
22:33.37 | Tek0516 | Not sure, fine now at least. |
22:34.59 | DrodoEmpire | Ah, alright. |
22:36.06 | drom | Ravens and crows sesms to be few of the smartest birds. |
22:37.13 | drom | God, I want to build a machine just to see how humanity is enslaved by the new and advanced civilzation of birds. |
22:37.35 | Hachiman | Gotta wait in line; dolphins are gonna step it up before birds do |
22:37.44 | drom | Rodents too. |
22:37.50 | Hachiman | Aye rodents |
22:37.54 | drom | There's reports of them outsmarting traps. |
22:38.13 | Hachiman | They're also becoming immune to toxins |
22:38.29 | drom | Elephants. Because they are friendly and share sympathy with us, humans. |
22:38.46 | Hachiman | Elephants are scared of us |
22:39.12 | drom | I wonder if there have been chases of smart insects. |
22:39.39 | drom | I also heard of "smart" bacterias. Wormy did even mention a video about. IIRC. |
22:42.24 | Monet_ | I suspect we'll know about bird civilisation before it becomes a threat. |
22:42.49 | Tek0516 | <PROTECTED> |
22:43.23 | Monet_ | Or humanity regresses technologically |
22:43.36 | drom | I wonder how the evolved birds would look like. Or just your typical vision of a bird-man. |
22:44.01 | drom | I imagine the one from Darkwood and other fictions. |
22:46.42 | Hachiman | Darkwood? |
22:47.48 | drom | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fyhUWP2l00 |
22:48.57 | drom | I can't find a brief gameplay video of the game. Because it's underrated. |
22:53.40 | drom | Short: A Polish top-view horror game with RPG and shooter elements on Early Access. |
22:55.00 | drom | I have only played 4 hours so far. Because the nights are way to unsettling for my nerves. |
22:58.17 | Hachiman | You're a wimp hur |
22:58.58 | drom | Hachiman: Go ahead and try to survive a night in that game then. |
22:59.24 | Hachiman | gimme dis gaem den |
22:59.39 | drom | checks his wallet* |
22:59.44 | drom | Steam ate all of it. |

23:12.45 | Hachiman | I love its face |
23:12.55 | Hachiman | Its face just says "kekekeke" |
23:13.10 | drom | not enough zerg for me |
23:13.45 | Hachiman | What's up with its feet, though? I only just noticed |
23:14.20 | OluapPlayer | That's the game's fault |
23:14.29 | OluapPlayer | Those particular feet are transparent for whatever reason |
23:16.57 | drom | Jesus, this LP:er is just running around like he doesn't know what to do. |
23:19.18 | OluapPlayer | That critter is 6 meters tall and its favorite snack is dorfs |
23:19.29 | drom | I gotta be going. |
