01:24.28 | TekDroid | Hello |
01:25.22 | TekDroid | So we have now have a TV show of people watching TV. Has humanity really reached this level? O.o |
01:26.11 | Hachiman | The Brits had that since last year |
01:26.23 | Liquid_Ink | Now we need a TV show of people watching a TV show of people watching a TV show of people watching a TV show. |
01:26.56 | Monet_ | People will make TV shows of anything these days |
01:27.04 | TekDroid | Yeah. |
01:27.35 | TekDroid | And if it's a reality show the station is almost guaranteed to fund it. |
01:28.25 | TekDroid | *"reality" |
01:30.10 | Monet_ | There's also this show where several students have opted ot have everything sent to and from their phones is tracked and recorded as they prepare for Uni |
01:30.46 | Tybusen | what |
01:31.47 | Tybusen | Silly British reality TV, everyone knows that real reality is boring, you have to spice it up with two tablespoons of relationship drama and a metric shitload of amnesia |
01:34.09 | Monet_ | Also British reality TV has a long history of "record teenagers doing teenager things like going to Ibiza or their first few months after learning how to drive and have the parents keep track of them" |
01:36.55 | Tybusen | So basically British reality TV actually deserves the name "reality TV" |
01:37.22 | TekDroid | American reality TV is basically a soap opera that claims to be true. |
01:40.34 | TekDroid | In North America there is a whole channel dedicated to fake reality shows |
01:41.21 | Tybusen | You mean TLC |
01:41.29 | TekDroid | Aye. http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thelearningchannelthenandnow_7602.png |
01:43.02 | TekDroid | It's got hillbillies, parents exploiting their children for profit, promoting clearly fake mediums... |
01:44.49 | TekDroid | Wonderful stuff. -.- |
01:47.04 | TekDroid | I got a kick out of the medium shows latest commercial. She's at her home doing a reading surrounded by camera equipment which all dims at a convenient time and they claimed that as proof of spirits. XD |

02:13.45 | Monet_ | Its...strangely intriguing |
02:16.20 | Wormy_away | funny, I just had a bubbly bath |
02:16.21 | Monet_ | They just explained how the physics of transforming bubbles ot explain the nature of the surface of the sun |
02:16.38 | Wormy_away | I think I've seen that program. |
02:18.39 | Monet_ | Huh...if you add bubble bath to a pool of water, the water will be softer to hit due to reduced surface tension |

02:58.06 | Monet_ | Hi |
03:06.21 | DrodoEmpire | I've stopped playing EUIV a while ago. |
03:06.22 | DrodoEmpire | :P |
03:06.37 | TekDroid | who were you playing as? |
03:07.24 | DrodoEmpire | I was playing as the Ming |
03:07.47 | DrodoEmpire | Things where going pretty well but my country nearly collapsed twice. In twenty years. |
03:07.51 | DrodoEmpire | :P |
03:07.57 | TekDroid | Odere. Lol. |
03:08.19 | DrodoEmpire | I stopped playing after I got into a coalition war and I lost the Mandate of Heaven for the third time |
03:08.25 | DrodoEmpire | :P |
03:08.30 | DrodoEmpire | I'll pick it up again later |
03:08.38 | TekDroid | Odere. |
03:09.28 | TekDroid | I gave up on my Scandinavia game when I had more rebels than my forcelimit with my army heavily depleted. Then got religious civil disorder. -.- |
03:10.51 | DrodoEmpire | Ouch |
03:12.32 | TekDroid | Then I played Huron but gave up on that when screwing myself over during westernization left me still screwed by tech gap afterwards. |
03:12.56 | TekDroid | (No CoP for that one) |
03:13.19 | DrodoEmpire | Right. |
03:14.18 | TekDroid | Now I'm playing Venice which went well until I got into a really bloody war with Poland and Lithuania. |
03:15.04 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
03:16.35 | TekDroid | 5 years to get the manpower to fully reinforce now. DX |
03:17.15 | DrodoEmpire | D: |
03:18.46 | TekDroid | I really shouldn't have assumed Lithuania would be too busy with their war to help Poland. XD |
03:19.01 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
03:19.22 | DrodoEmpire | I love how the event "Inflation"'s response you have is "Try minting more coins..." |
03:19.46 | TekDroid | Odere. |
03:20.01 | DrodoEmpire | Sorry. |
03:20.02 | DrodoEmpire | :P |
03:21.41 | TekDroid | Austria has been in a coalition against me for about 50 years, I think. XD |
03:21.48 | DrodoEmpire | lol |
03:21.53 | TekDroid | (It's 1509) |
03:24.27 | TekDroid | <PROTECTED> |
03:24.32 | TekDroid | *game |
03:28.20 | TekDroid | DrodoEmpire: Also, my reinforcement cost is 17.61 right now. XD |

05:44.30 | Angrybirds | New armament. |
05:46.25 | TekDroid | Awesome. |
05:47.34 | TekDroid | The Nantes is horrifying when you consider. One station can support thousands of systems... |
05:50.04 | Tybusen | Ooh |
05:52.23 | Angrybirds | One also has to remember that the Nantes is simply huge, and that the Angelfire has a range of thousands of lightyears. |
05:53.31 | TekDroid | Of course. |
05:54.02 | Angrybirds | Angelfire + spam = can't touch this *breakdances* |
05:57.58 | Tybusen | I'd pay money to see the Nantes station breakdance |

06:00.00 | TekDroid | *Nantes breakdances* |
06:02.40 | Angrybirds | lol |

06:51.55 | OfficerJackal | yus |
06:52.43 | Angrybirds | I'm thinking the Nante-class actually rotates during combat so it's constantly bringing to bear launchers that are ready to fire while hiding those that are not. |
06:53.43 | TekDroid | If they're guided it shouldn't matter too much. |
06:54.09 | Angrybirds | That's true. |
06:54.20 | TekDroid | Though I guess speed could be a problem. |

06:59.49 | Tybusen | It is simultaneously a comedy about history as well as a borderline international yaoi festival |
07:00.31 | Tybusen | Also, Ukraine is one of the countries in the show and she has massive boobs |

12:41.11 | Wormy | I had hyperspace stars already! I deserve a seat in PI http://phys.org/news/2014-08-black-hole-birth-universe.html |
12:43.12 | Monet_ | I know how you feel |
12:43.39 | Monet_ | Back in...2003 I think I had drawn up a sketch for a "multi-stoy farm" |
12:45.24 | Monet_ | Hachiman: Looking at the Draconsi retcon, I'd say Sarec should be about 2.4m tall and half as proportionally fat as Uriel or Larnus |
12:46.21 | Monet_ | He's still big, but he looks small compared to those two |
12:47.28 | Hachiman | Aye that makes sense |
12:50.56 | Monet_ | On the plus side, he can sympethise better with Hachi in regards to being constantly around giants. |
12:52.22 | Hachiman | Except when he's around Tyraz hohoho |
12:52.52 | Monet_ | Sarec - Sorry its my biology |
12:54.11 | Monet_ | Then again being a shapeshifter he has free-reign over what he looks like. |
12:55.16 | Monet_ | Like that time he went undercover as a Murgar |
13:01.47 | OluapPlayer | Seems like my internet is being stupid again |
13:10.00 | Wormy | Games are about to get even more photographic http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn25860-buttonmasher-photorealism-takes-gaming-deeper.html#.U-dpgfldV8E |
13:10.37 | Wormy | That being said, I think games like Skyrim that deviate a bit with artistic licence look better. |
13:11.56 | AdmiralPanda | Wormy: we've just about reached the Uncanny Valley, until we get to true photorealism games won't be improving graphics-wise much |
13:13.08 | Monet_ | We're reaching the point where our eyes won't be able to detect further improvements in detail |
13:13.35 | Wormy | Agreed |
13:14.04 | Wormy | Well, no game quite equals CGI in films |
13:14.19 | Monet_ | We're getting there though |
13:14.23 | Monet_ | brb |
13:15.01 | Wormy | I did learn about the explanation why but I can't quite remember, something to do with computing and compiling |
13:16.06 | Hachiman | I personally think that the idea of not being able to detect further improvements is just flat out not true |
13:16.49 | Hachiman | You can quite clearly see the difference between say a character portrayed in CGI and a character game model |
13:17.05 | Hachiman | And acknowledge that the CGI version is aesthetically better |
13:17.54 | Wormy | I think its down to rendering, it can takes years of render time to produce a small cutscene - so huge render farms are employed. Commercial CPU's are a long way off from comparing |
13:18.32 | Wormy | Game trailers and movie scenes involve a huge amount of artistic detail added |
13:18.48 | Wormy | But when we play a game, the machine has to render the graphics in real time |
13:19.25 | Wormy | Oned could try to make a game with such graphics but it would rendered uplayable |
13:19.33 | Wormy | *un |
13:20.28 | Wormy | Hachiman: I looked at this with the DCP, what if media reached a point that it couldn't look any better? No problem, just modify and eye and brain |

13:24.12 | Monet_ | I have no idea what is using 60% of my ram |
13:26.03 | Wormy | My dream for VR in the future would be to simulate universes, possibly ones with different physical laws and see if anything emergences (life or non-life), and live in virtual reality - one could augment to the Real Life reality using machines and memes to blend the two. Then we invent "feelie" machines that can meld mines, share memories and invent qualia and everyone ascends to the Mindspace |
13:26.53 | Monet_ | Fuck it i'll be back later |
13:27.00 | Wormy | thats very strange |
13:27.00 | Monet_ | I'll run an antivirus scan |

14:36.08 | Wormy | Hm, I want to make a blog/wegbsite that's free, but something I can code |
14:36.26 | Wormy | Thats not a wiki "that anyone can edit" |
14:37.20 | Wormy | Blogs and WIX are nice and all but if I coded it myself it could give more more freedom |

15:55.51 | TekDroid | ~test |
15:55.51 | infobot | rumour has it, test is not funny |
15:58.08 | ImpyDroid | Basically the Eternal Jew is a European folklore character that has been cursed by Jesus to live forever and continues to wander the world for all eternity |
15:58.28 | Hachiman | "Cursed by Jesus" |
15:58.41 | Hachiman | Why do I get the feeling this is a reference to Judas |
15:59.22 | ImpyDroid | Not neccesarily Judas, no |
15:59.39 | ImpyDroid | Though some versions of the story make the Eternal Jew Judas yes |
15:59.48 | ImpyDroid | Anyway I thought of making a char based on him for the Fantasyverse |
15:59.57 | Wormy | kraftwerk- tour de france https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQz-CZvkY8k |
16:00.03 | Wormy | two things I like in one |
16:00.19 | Hachiman | ImpyDroid: We already have that, Kinmo |
16:00.48 | ImpyDroid | Well Kinmo doesn't exactly wish to die and he wasn't exactly cursed |
16:01.17 | ImpyDroid | The idea of the Eternal Jew is that he is *forced* to live, a la IHNMAIMS |
16:13.21 | Hachiman | https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t31.0-8/10548268_585871728197205_2204908926077415290_o.jpg Looks like Ubisoft is stealing from DkS and Bloodborne's environment style |

17:28.48 | Monet_ | http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/08/07/mass-effect-director-casey-hudson-leaves-bioware/ wow...this is certainly some news |
17:30.03 | OluapPlayer | spu |
17:34.13 | Monet_ | Lotta ME3 haters commenting on that article. |
17:34.27 | Monet_ | Personally, I'm sad Casey's leaving |
17:35.12 | OluapPlayer | I wonder how this is gonn affect ME4 |
17:35.27 | Monet_ | He was the franchise's technical director. |
17:37.06 | Monet_ | One creative decision appears to have killed most peoples' repsect for him |
17:37.47 | Monet_ | Some of these people are going as far as to call the entire Mass Effect franchise a PoS because of 3's final ending. |
17:38.53 | Xho | People are very quick to assume anything |
17:39.12 | AdmiralPanda | Well that's what you get when a trilogy is built up with the intention of all your decisions factoring into that final ending |
17:41.00 | Xho | Hm |
17:41.09 | Xho | Perhaps they could have made better endings but still |
17:41.19 | Xho | The entire development before that |
17:41.28 | Monet_ | Yeah I don't really like this attitude of "it was overhyped therefore its shit" or "this one moment killed something I had spent five years following" |
17:41.48 | Xho | OluapPlayer: Have you added that Atrocius lair thing on the map yet |
17:41.51 | Wormy_away | gulps - time for "b is a power of 10" http://everything2.com/title/A+Few+More+Translation+Exercises |
17:42.07 | OluapPlayer | I'm not adding it anymore |
17:42.19 | Xho | y not |
17:42.28 | OluapPlayer | I can tell you didn't like the idea |
17:42.49 | Wormy_away | A year ago I would have told you depressing things about how maths is my nemesis and I will never do it but now I'm fighting that idea |
17:42.55 | Xho | OluapPlayer: I did |
17:42.57 | Hachiman | Monet_: Good riddance to him I say |
17:42.59 | Xho | I wasn't quick to respond |
17:43.03 | Xho | Because I was busy |
17:43.13 | Hachiman | Built up years of hype to culminate into the pile of shit we got as an ending |
17:43.49 | Monet_ | So Casey's entire 16-year means nothing? |
17:43.57 | Monet_ | 16-year career* |
17:44.20 | OluapPlayer | I'm not gonna comment on ME3's ending, ME2 is still my favorite game of the series |
17:44.40 | Hachiman | Monet_: Mass Effect's entire franchise meant nothing when ME3 came about |
17:44.43 | Xho | I think the fact the other three games were very good (disregarding the fact I haven't played ME3) should compensate for the fact that ME3's endings were lackluster |
17:44.46 | OluapPlayer | Even if it was comparably the "minor" one |
17:44.54 | Hachiman | But yeah, ME2 is my favourite |
17:45.04 | Hachiman | Best gameplay all around and great characters and story |
17:45.10 | Xho | I liked ME1 more than ME2 |
17:45.18 | Xho | I dunno why exactly |
17:45.20 | Monet_ | I say Mass Effect is about the JOurney. |
17:45.29 | Xho | Longer game I think might have something to do with it |
17:45.33 | OluapPlayer | ME1's gameplay -> fire shotgun, win mission |
17:45.37 | OluapPlayer | At least for me hur |
17:45.46 | Xho | ME2 was a great game but I prefer longer games over shorter games |
17:45.59 | Hachiman | Monet_: The journey means nothing if the destination is pointless |
17:46.22 | Monet_ | Okay... |
17:46.23 | Xho | I think we should probably drop this conversation because it's getting to the vitriolic staage |
17:46.28 | OluapPlayer | Yes |
17:46.42 | OluapPlayer | Discussing ME3 never leads to a good discussion |
17:46.42 | Hachiman | rite |
17:46.47 | Xho | So, hm |
17:46.49 | Xho | What to do |
17:46.56 | OluapPlayer | Write Pelagrios stoof |
17:47.12 | Monet_ | I thought aside from one or two comments the conversation was decent but if things are getting aggressive might as well drop it. |
17:47.30 | Xho | I could do but I'm beginning to run out of ideas on it |
17:47.59 | OluapPlayer | Did you not come up with a plot for your story |
17:48.14 | Xho | I did |
17:48.19 | Xho | I got all the points down already though |
17:48.25 | OluapPlayer | Conclude it then |
17:53.11 | Xho | I should mention why Frost Drakes don't appear intelligent as dragons |
17:53.32 | Xho | Frost Drakes only speak Névari so they can't commune with any other race than Néva |
17:54.06 | OluapPlayer | there I added Atrocius' place |
17:54.25 | Xho | gud |

17:58.55 | Xho | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Eschaton_Prologue_-_Pelagrios#Storm.27s_Throne finished |
17:59.05 | Xho | Neither can I since I haven't been here long |
17:59.47 | OluapPlayer | Pelagrios - and den i FUK'd every un of dem |
18:00.10 | Xho | Pelagrios the Demoman |
18:00.28 | Xho | That being said, a million or so Néva marching south |
18:00.32 | Xho | It's gonna scare a lot of people |
18:00.52 | Xho | Considering the entire world hasn't actually ever seen a Néva before |
18:02.06 | OluapPlayer | Sea Witch - riad get ur cousins off my cliff |
18:02.49 | OluapPlayer | Good conclusion |
18:02.55 | OluapPlayer | This means I can't nag you about it anymore |
18:02.56 | OluapPlayer | nuu |
18:02.59 | Xho | yoooooooooh |
18:03.08 | Hachiman | So why don't the Neva march to storm Abyssus? |
18:03.33 | Xho | 1 million Néva vs 7 million Shiarchon + 20 million Void Denizens |
18:04.20 | OluapPlayer | Kalarah - lollipops everywhere |
18:04.38 | Xho | In other words, 1 million tribal warriors vs 7 million demonic armoured elves + 20 million demonic armoured demons |
18:04.59 | Xho | The Néva would all die fairly quickly |
18:05.28 | Xho | Sure they could whittle down the Shiarchon but the Void Denizens are a lot worse to fight |
18:06.05 | Xho | Especially if you come across Void Guardians |
18:06.24 | OluapPlayer | Kalarah - RELEASE THE HOUNDS |
18:06.36 | Xho | Riad - fuk |
18:06.48 | Xho | That and I doubt Riad wants to meet Kalarah again |
18:07.13 | Xho | Bone-Breaker might find it funny for a few minutes |
18:07.36 | OluapPlayer | Bone-Breaker - lol Kalarah - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH Bone-Breaker - not lol |
18:08.12 | Xho | That being said, the Néva do have a large number of Frost Drakes under their command |
18:08.25 | Xho | Of which I need to remake |
18:09.18 | OluapPlayer | The Néva get late once they get past the Eastern Plains because their Frost Drakes are too distracted bickering with Fire Drakes |
18:09.56 | Xho | Fire - spice Frost - ice Fire - SPICE Frost - ICE |
18:13.55 | Xho | I've added the three Néva tribes to the map now |
18:14.49 | OluapPlayer | Dragon-Rider Tribe |
18:14.52 | OluapPlayer | Filonan - muh jerb |
18:15.11 | Xho | Dragon-Elf - get rekt m8 |
18:15.19 | Xho | I should make these characters really |
18:15.39 | Xho | I might remake the Néva model while I'm at it |

18:33.43 | Monet_ | Hello |
18:33.55 | TekDroid | Hello |
18:47.29 | Monet_ | I asked a few days ago but not many people were on |
18:47.42 | Monet_ | I wonder what popular TV shows we have in the 1st gig |
18:48.24 | Hachiman | Probably nothing much different to current television |
18:48.49 | Xho | Keeping Up With The Kicathians |
18:49.29 | Monet_ | I rmeember Nu managed ot take a selfie with a trio of Draconis actors |
18:50.00 | Xho | Nu - hao do u not kno who i am i saved ur asses i saved the entire galaxy's asses |
18:50.38 | Monet_ | Actor - You weren't on the news aside fro mBorealis' Most Wanted. |
18:50.40 | Xho | http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140810185003/spore/images/5/5b/RiadmanathKing.png I made this by the way |
18:50.59 | Xho | Nu - and andromeda's most wanted and milky way's most wanted and mirus' most wanted |
18:51.07 | Monet_ | Aww I liked Riad's mask |
18:51.24 | Xho | I was going to put one on but I decided against it |
18:52.12 | Hachiman | He looks shocked at something |
18:52.22 | Xho | Riad - dam u southerners r stupid |
18:52.28 | Monet_ | Thinking about it, the trio may have been celebrities from an analogue of either Game of Thrones or The Borgias. |
18:52.34 | Hachiman | Looks pretty nice though, especially his attire |
18:52.51 | OluapPlayer | That's a nice outfit |
18:53.17 | Xho | Riad's braided hair is not his by the way |
18:53.21 | Monet_ | I like what you did to make the shoulderpads and the greaves. |
18:53.53 | Xho | Now I need to make other characters |
18:54.07 | Monet_ | Oh! |
18:54.15 | Monet_ | Hyperborea's Scariest Police Chases |
18:54.35 | Xho | Nu - It wasn't that scary sure 2000 people died but it wasn't scary |
18:55.01 | Xho | Nu just gets his own little segment in that show |
18:55.13 | Monet_ | Or his own show. |
18:55.17 | Monet_ | "That's so Nu" |
18:55.42 | Monet_ | Yeah let's give Nu his own TV show |
18:56.29 | Hachiman | I imagine that actors would have become redundant by the current age really |
18:56.50 | Hachiman | You can construct personalities that don't operate beyond their given boundaries and have them portray people |
18:57.08 | Hachiman | And it also means top-notch acting hur |
18:57.31 | Monet_ | Or the acting could look positively robotic |
18:57.37 | Angrybirds | Unfortunately, we haven't figured out how to make picture-perfect animation yet. |
18:58.09 | Angrybirds | Whatever attempts we have made fall into the uncanny valley, which isn't the best thing in the world. |
18:58.15 | Angrybirds | So actors still have a job. |
18:58.27 | Monet_ | Now my odd mind is wondering what a Nu-TV fanboy would look like. |
18:58.43 | Monet_ | And their reactions to meeting Nu |
18:59.36 | Monet_ | We could be looking at hardcore bro-viewers. |
19:00.15 | Monet_ | "Dude ,dude! Hey, It would be so awesome if I oculd say that Agent Nu collapsed my lungs!" |
19:00.40 | Xho | Nu - that can be arranged *punch* |
19:01.21 | Monet_ | This reminds me of Yahtzee: Has thousands of fans and viewers -> hates all of them |
19:01.54 | Xho | I thought Yahtzee was a game |
19:03.02 | Monet_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Croshaw this guy |
19:04.13 | Monet_ | Xho: To get an idea of his attitude, Charlie Brooker was a huge inspiration for him. |
19:05.13 | Xho | Right |
19:05.15 | Xho | Jesus |
19:06.20 | Monet_ | Bloody hell new image: Nu's space twitter page |
19:07.22 | Xho | "Ran over a couple of tourists today. #whatyougonnado #bloodonmycar" |
19:08.03 | Monet_ | Actually there's an idea for random shits and giggles |
19:08.15 | Monet_ | What would sporewikiverse characters put on their twitter posts |
19:08.33 | Xho | Santorakh would have a lot to say |
19:09.25 | Monet_ | Actually you know what. SOme of us should try that - make a twitter account, post tandom shit ,see how people react. |
19:10.54 | Monet_ | Or maybe this is something that's only fun in one's mind |
19:12.20 | Xho | I would if it was socially acceptable |
19:13.23 | Monet_ | Yeah, that would be more fun as a mental game. |
19:15.18 | Monet_ | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:188233 I'll post a set for my own characters after I've had dinner. |
19:17.33 | Monet_ | A passing thought though: Character twitter pages could bring publicity to the wiki. |
19:44.19 | Xho | Hachiman: What do you think Jens Kidman does to keep himself looking so young |
19:44.25 | Xho | Regarding he's 48 |
19:45.18 | Hachiman | Bleeds |

19:51.44 | Angrybirds | Very cool. I originally cringed at how the symbols were white-on-white, but it looks like you fixed that. I like how uniform the icons are. |
19:52.42 | Xho | Angrybirds: As per my suggestion kek |
19:52.55 | Xho | Cyrannian|Semi: Getting quite complex, I like it |
19:53.22 | Cyrannian|Semi | Thanks, there's still tons to add though |
19:53.29 | Monet_ | Its looking quite filled out |
19:53.37 | Monet_ | It really shows how rich a history Cyrannus has |
19:54.38 | Xho | Wish my fiction was that rich Incidentally I wish I had your attention span |
19:56.16 | Cyrannian|Semi | I'm really having a lot of fun with the Map feature, it's one of the best updates to the wiki in a while. |
19:57.04 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
19:57.28 | Angrybirds | ^ |
19:59.53 | Xho | Yeah |
20:00.06 | Xho | I'm watching over the Koldenwelt one rather adamantly |
20:01.27 | Angrybirds | I had quite a bit of fun with this one myself: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Maps/1770 |
20:06.07 | Angrybirds | Cyrannian: I remember the purpose of the Katar-Cyrannian Wormhole was to allow Katarians to participate in Station Halcyon fiction. Why is the wormhole all the way over there, then? o.o |
20:11.43 | Angrybirds | Cyrannian|Semi ? |
20:13.48 | Cyrannian|Semi | Because that's where I placed the marker? It won't impact on people's ability to participate in Halcyon. Station authorities could have constructed a hyperspace route allowing fast travel to and from the station. |
20:14.02 | TekDroid | I'm still happy with my map. http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Maps/1793 |
20:15.26 | Xho | I think considering technological advancement I doubt a distant wormhole will hinder travel much |
20:15.41 | Xho | That being said I don't know what the technology of travel is like among Katarians |
20:16.16 | TekDroid | Most Katarians aren't hyperspatial. |
20:16.24 | Angrybirds | Yes, but you have to remember the Katarians aren't that technologically advanced. 50,000-60,000 LY, which is what the distance looks like if Cyrannus is the size of the MW, is enormous and really not that feasible. |
20:16.44 | Xho | Right |
20:17.09 | Xho | Well that there is a problem then |
20:18.35 | Monet_ | Yeah Katarians don't really have the tech to cross a galaxy in the span of a day |
20:19.05 | DrodoEmpire | Though, the Drodo do have access to Hyperspace. :P |
20:20.12 | Wormy | We do have warped-hyperdrive hybrids in the SporeWikiverse |
20:20.31 | Wormy | Where an area of hyperspace imposes a region where warp is possible |
20:20.35 | TekDroid | Farengeto only adopts hyperspatial through extensive ship purchases and eventually reverse engineering, both only around 2800 and not full. |
20:20.48 | Wormy | Halcyon authorities could construct that |
20:22.25 | Xho | Wormy: Man the security on those regions must be insane |
20:22.55 | Monet_ | From my unerstanding this is a bit like ending a highway into a city on its very outskirts, then the rest of the way is town roads with speeds of 30-40mph. |
20:23.26 | Ghelae | Or if Cyr doesn't mind and doesn't have an important reason for having the marker where it is, one of you Katar users could delete it and place a new one somewhere more appropriate. :P |
20:23.43 | Monet_ | that works |

20:24.17 | Ghelae | Hello. |
20:24.17 | Knight_Alien | Hello |
20:24.23 | TekDroid | Hello |
20:25.00 | Monet_ | Actualyl yeah, why argue for Cyrannian ot change when any one of us can do it, all we need is a logical in-universe reason why the wormhole is out there to prevent it being moved |
20:25.10 | Wormy | The DCP could offer sme bulk to the security |
20:27.00 | Cyrannian|Semi | This is pedantic. But I moved the wormhole anyway. |
20:27.40 | DrodoEmpire | It is? |
20:27.41 | DrodoEmpire | :P |
20:28.05 | Monet_ | Yeah we probably made a biger deal out of it tha nwe should have |
20:28.33 | Xho | Pedantic but there was a bit of a problem there |
20:28.33 | DrodoEmpire | I think its important that its within a reasonable distance. :P |
20:28.47 | Monet_ | Probably due to the old habit of asking the creator of a map to make the changes because they have the relevant modifiable file. |
20:29.12 | Xho | hur |
20:29.36 | Angrybirds | It is Cyrannian's galaxy... |
20:29.42 | Xho | I like the Katar Sector |
20:29.45 | Monet_ | ALso I'm going to upload a new map of ANdromeda. |
20:29.54 | Angrybirds | iirc, he has authority over it. |
20:29.59 | Xho | Monet_: That does raise a problem |
20:30.07 | Xho | What happens when galaxies change territories |
20:30.20 | Xho | We have to re-update everything don't we |
20:30.31 | Monet_ | The current Adromeda map doesn't accomodate for possible changes in sovereignty, but more importantly - I fooked up on the scale. |
20:30.37 | Wormy | Thats what we do lol |
20:30.44 | Wormy | Wait |
20:30.53 | Wormy | Don't you use layers? |
20:31.00 | Monet_ | I do |
20:31.30 | Monet_ | It also takes me 10-20 minutes to upload an 8mb map to the wiki |
20:31.39 | Wormy | In photoshop one could add or delate layers, and make various changes to each. I'm not sure what programs people using but with photoshop it would work |
20:31.57 | Monet_ | And each new Andromeda map will require the re-application of all markers |
20:31.58 | Angrybirds | Monet: While you're at it, remember that the FPC has fallen apart. |
20:32.08 | Xho | Gah |
20:32.17 | TekDroid | But the map plugin doesn't let you change the image without making the map over again. |
20:32.21 | Xho | Perhaps we should limit map updating to once every few months or so |
20:32.22 | Monet_ | SO I'm going for a territory-less Aandromeda map |
20:32.39 | Xho | Monet_: I dunno about that, sounds rather chaotic |

20:33.55 | Xho | Evening/Morning |
20:33.59 | Sporeraptor | hi |
20:34.52 | Monet_ | AdmiralPanda: We came to the realisation that changes in territory on any of our maps will involve completely rebuilding the maps each time |
20:35.12 | Monet_ | Modifying the maps, re-uploading them to wikimaps, then adding al lthe markers |
20:35.21 | Xho | https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/10341823_2288753227846582_644682023284244297_n.jpg?oh=ff3703f6d801a8291566cadad8693a07&oe=54818775&__gda__=1415495108_5534175b28a42c8099e32054bd68fb37 Haha |

20:35.35 | TekDroid | damn it, we struck out. |
20:36.21 | Jepardi | http://d3dsacqprgcsqh.cloudfront.net/photo/ae3Ng65_460sa_v1.gif |
20:37.12 | Xho | And I thought my post was odd |
20:38.07 | Angrybirds | Also, we'll have to figure out how to move the GigaConflicts forward sometime soon. |
20:39.46 | TekDroid | I've had nothing to do in fiction lateky |
20:41.19 | Xho | Neither have I |
20:41.24 | Xho | cuz oluap bein inactiv |
20:42.30 | AdmiralPanda | and I'm always inactive |
20:42.51 | Xho | cuz u dum dats y |
20:42.53 | Angrybirds | Hm. For the Xonexian Schism, we've got a few flashpoints down, we just need to figure out what final spark leads to war with the DCP. There's also the peripheral politics with the Mou'Cyran Accords which is still in the air. |
20:43.13 | Xho | DCP cracks wise about the Milky Way's mammaas |
20:43.16 | Xho | mammas* |
20:43.26 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
20:43.57 | Xho | DCP - yo momma so fat dat when i thought about her she broke my neck |
20:44.01 | AdmiralPanda | Xho: Cus I'm Australian and shit happened |
20:44.34 | Angrybirds | Orion League - WOT U SAY M8 |
20:44.38 | TekDroid | Problem with fiction for Farengeto is Katar is relatively stable and their main allies are France, Drodo and all the rest of that faction. |
20:45.55 | Xho | If the USO do join the DCP I will put in the Kicathian Remnant in the war as well |
20:46.14 | Angrybirds | Cool! |
20:47.00 | Technobliterator | USO are joining |
20:47.04 | Technobliterator | they are allies of the DCP |
20:47.07 | Xho | Mainly out of the fact that the Kicathian Remnant are a council state of the PCA and if they meddle in affairs where the Kicathian Remnant are present they will fight |
20:47.23 | AdmiralPanda | for the longest time my problem was that people simply didn't want to make fiction with me, and even after that died down I had absolutely zero self-confidence to do anything |
20:53.49 | Monet_ | A concern I have atm is university courses start in September. So productivity for some of us could drop dramatically |
20:54.05 | Monet_ | Before the GigCOnflicts gather steam |
20:55.22 | TekDroid | Same here. |
20:57.03 | Angrybirds | So we might want to get started rather quickly. |
20:58.17 | Xho | I will probably have to write an intro for the Kicath then? |
20:58.19 | TekDroid | I probably won't even have connection for a couple days later these week. |
20:58.23 | TekDroid | *this |
20:58.36 | Monet_ | Xho: Probably |
20:59.06 | Xho | I need a real kick up the backside to get things done |
20:59.19 | Xho | But working 7.5 hours a day really does suck the motivation out of you |
20:59.24 | Xho | All you want to do is relax really |
21:00.50 | Angrybirds | Xho : You might be the one to primarily go up against the USO, so that front can probably be headed by you? |
21:01.35 | Xho | Jesus Christ |
21:01.38 | Xho | Yeah suppose so |
21:02.12 | TekDroid | Headed by you, you're not entirely on your own. :P |
21:03.40 | Xho | The Remnant don't have the lucky edge of Kithworto any more though |
21:04.46 | Monet_ | That could make things a little more interesting |
21:05.48 | Xho | Will do |
21:05.54 | Xho | Though we do have the edge of Kicathian Dreadnoughts |
21:06.00 | Xho | Which are always good for allies |
21:07.29 | Sporeraptor | What do you think ? http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140810210347/spore/images/f/f7/Joosuos.png |
21:07.41 | Xho | Just saw that |
21:07.43 | Xho | I like |
21:08.01 | Angrybirds | Sporeraptor: Very cool. The fog effect is great. |
21:08.04 | Xho | That being said, if the Kicath do lead the battle we have to take into account they have no beef with the DCP |
21:08.10 | Sporeraptor | Thanks |

21:10.28 | Angrybirds | Xho : Right. The idea is that the Kicath would lead the campaign against the USO. The battles against the DCP will be mostly fought by the allies. |
21:10.36 | Xho | I see |
21:10.52 | TekDroid | Don't forget the DCP are the aggressor in this war as well. |
21:11.41 | Xho | Yeah, the Kicath and the DCP see eye-to-eye on a lot of things |
21:11.51 | Xho | They won't fight against the DCP |
21:12.29 | Xho | The Xonexian Allies will have to deal with that I'm afraid |
21:12.56 | Xho | As far as the Kicath are concerned, their only concerns are the USO, Kicath Empire and Dominion |

21:13.23 | Monet_ | The fight with the Empire could be a GC theatre probably |
21:13.42 | Monet_ | You've got the Remnant kicking them out of the MW, then you have the final push into their holdings in ANdromeda |
21:13.42 | Xho | It probably will be |
21:14.18 | Xho | The Kicath do have to deal with the fact that the Empire is now backed by the Dominion though |
21:16.27 | Xho | I dunno how they'll manage to fight them though if that is the case |
21:17.03 | Monet_ | THere's calling on allies |
21:17.28 | Xho | True |
21:17.44 | Xho | Though I dunno whether allies would want to delve into that kind of situation though |
21:18.32 | Monet_ | Alliences of convenience can be easier ot make than alliances of friendship. |
21:18.55 | Monet_ | The Napoleonic Wars for instance, France mainly lost because most of Europe banded against it |
21:19.09 | TekDroid | Indeed. |
21:19.32 | Monet_ | Yet despite that alliance, we still got WWI |
21:19.37 | TekDroid | Well they held off for a while, then lost half a million men in Rissi. |
21:19.40 | TekDroid | *Russia |
21:20.24 | Monet_ | So wait.... Even with France fighting against a united Europe they were holding out until they invaded Russia!? |

21:21.26 | Cyrannian|Semi | Hi there |
21:21.37 | TekDroid | Prior to 1812 they had already beaten Russia. |
21:22.24 | TekDroid | In 1812 on GB was left, the Russia challenged Napoleon's embargo of GB. |
21:22.47 | Angrybirds | Monet_ Actually, it was better than that. France had made the Austrian Empire, Prussia, Spain, and many Italian Kingdoms protectorates. |
21:23.04 | TekDroid | Napoleon - FRANCE STRONK |
21:23.16 | Angrybirds | Poland too |
21:23.39 | Angrybirds | Russia and France were allies, though Russia was struggling economically and had to defect to GB, basically the only European country left still opposing Napoleon (sound familiar?) |
21:24.10 | Monet_ | I think this proves a point. |
21:24.13 | Angrybirds | Finally, Russia and France came to blows over the ownership of Poland, and the rest is history. |
21:24.19 | TekDroid | Napoleon's continental system had its name for a reason. |
21:24.37 | Monet_ | If somehow France can be defeated despite ruling virtually all of Europe, the DOminion can be beaten too, right? |
21:24.46 | TekDroid | Definitely. |
21:25.05 | Angrybirds | Which Dominion? |
21:25.07 | Hachiman | Ew nationalities again |
21:25.21 | Monet_ | AngryBirds: Xhodocto |
21:26.00 | Monet_ | HAchiman: You just missed a retelling of how France once ruled virtually all of Europe. |
21:26.07 | Monet_ | And still lost in the end |
21:26.22 | Xho | Well |
21:26.29 | Xho | Yes the Dominion can be beaten |
21:26.30 | TekDroid | With a major reason why being Britain. :P |
21:26.42 | Hachiman | They lost because they did not have grorious nippon steer |
21:26.55 | Xho | But the amount of alliances needed to go against them would be rather nuts concerning the situation at hand |
21:26.59 | Monet_ | Hachiman: THey lost because they tried to invade RUssia |
21:27.29 | TekDroid | And the Russian invasion was in part a result of failing to conquer GB. |
21:28.00 | Hachiman | Too much French patriotism nowadays |
21:28.01 | Hachiman | Well, too much patriotism in general |
21:28.19 | Monet_ | Wait... Dispute over Poland, rivalry with GB, invading Russia, Austria and Italy being part of a lerger empire..Did Hitler not do his research? |
21:28.46 | Angrybirds | He did. |
21:29.05 | Monet_ | Hey before WWI/II the french were terrifying. |

21:31.08 | Monet_ | Well...rifle-armed cavalry were kinda the tanks of their day. |
21:31.25 | Angrybirds | One has to remember that the military of the Soviet Union really really SUCKED at the time, except for one thing: The T-34 |

22:49.54 | dwarfman | holy fuck, wikia is at it again |
22:50.06 | Angrybirds | What did they do now? |
22:50.33 | OfficerJackal | Huh? What happened? |
22:50.57 | dwarfman | nothing special, all wiki sites are loading exteremely slow for me. |
22:51.17 | TekDroid | Wikia isn't known for its reliability. >.< |
22:51.22 | dwarfman | despite that I can load up a chinese site in like 2 secs |
22:52.22 | TekDroid | This Jays game is still going in its 16th inning. >.< |
22:53.12 | TekDroid | They're both running out of pitchers. |
22:54.24 | TekDroid | 17th. -.- |
23:00.41 | dwarfman | "jay's game"? |
23:00.58 | DrodoEmpire | Baseball. |
23:01.07 | DrodoEmpire | Toronto Blue Jays, I believe. |
23:01.21 | DrodoEmpire | gud teem |
23:01.49 | TekDroid | Yeah. |
23:02.04 | dwarfman | Ah. I see. |
23:04.13 | TekDroid | Detroit had their hats inside out and glasses upside down. XD |
23:04.21 | DrodoEmpire | wat |
23:04.24 | DrodoEmpire | XD |
23:04.53 | TekDroid | One of the Jays are turning his team's hats backwards. |
23:06.03 | TekDroid | Odere. I think they're about to break the Jays' record for longest gane by time, 5:57. O.O |
23:06.39 | TekDroid | *already broke |
23:10.10 | Hachiman | As weaboo as I am, people saying that the samurai opposed the Empire of Japan purely because of "traditionalist" values are dum |
23:10.53 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
23:11.38 | DrodoEmpire | Though, modernization did threaten there status severely; I'm not sure if this counts as "traditionalism" |
23:11.40 | Hachiman | Samurai had a lot of influence throughout Japan prior to the rise of the Empire; they weren't just fighting for the sake of tradition, each shogun had a lot of land and workforces that they wanted to keep for themselves, and a unified Japan meant sharing that land and the resources, which were already scarce in Japan at the time |
23:13.09 | Hachiman | And Samurai weren't afraid of using guns either, they would use them against imperialist forces but would often have to revert to bows, arrows, and swords because of their lack of resources and knowledge in manufacturing the weaponry |
23:13.19 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
23:13.58 | DrodoEmpire | Contrary to popular belief, Samurai (or more accurately their feudal lords) took to firearms quickly when they where first intrduced. |
23:14.02 | DrodoEmpire | *introduced |
23:14.18 | Hachiman | Aye, the shogun would use them both against imperialists and against one another |
23:14.52 | TekDroid | Katanas are just shown because they're different. :P |
23:18.30 | Hachiman | Also, Samurai had a much more varied arsenal than just katana; they would make use of polearms like naginatas and and great big knobbed/spiked clubs called kanabo, among other things |
23:19.36 | Hachiman | Kanabo always terrified me because they were designed to crush and destroy enemy armour, bones, and horses. Any club can do that, but kanabo just look so damn frightening |
23:21.28 | Monet_ | SOunds like a warhammer or morningstar to me. |
23:21.51 | Hachiman | http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140113225937/warhammer40kfanon/images/7/75/Kanabo.jpg |
23:22.07 | Hachiman | https://warosu.org/data/tg/img/0318/22/1398891757301.jpg And this |
23:22.08 | Monet_ | Yeah that's a morningstar |
23:22.42 | Hachiman | It's built like a club though |
23:23.06 | Hachiman | A morningstar has a spiked sphere at its end |
23:23.28 | Monet_ | Not always |
23:23.28 | Wormy_away | I wonder if some of those misconceptions are descended from imperialist propaganda still in the collective unconscious. |
23:23.39 | TekDroid | Probably. |
23:23.56 | TekDroid | History is written by winners, after all. |
23:24.02 | Monet_ | http://www.swordsandarmor.com/images/MACE_Spiked_926795_small.Jpg this counts as a morningstar |
23:24.34 | Hachiman | I thought maces counted as clubs? |
23:26.06 | Monet_ | They can be. |
23:26.20 | Monet_ | Although the general image of a mace invludes a heavy metal ball on one end |
23:27.02 | OluapPlayer | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/File:Cutie_human_%281%29.png dis name |
23:27.02 | OluapPlayer | Ok I'm back, i was distracted all afternoon by something |
23:27.37 | Hachiman | ohgod what the fuck is that |
23:27.38 | Hachiman | And hai |
23:27.41 | Monet_ | One key difference between a mace and a club is a mace's end is made of a heavy material like iron or copper. |
23:28.46 | Hachiman | I can imagine that kanabo analogues within Min Lagosi would be terrifying weapons since kanabo are often made with wood - a lot of the wood that's available to the Lagosi in magical by nature |
23:29.36 | Monet_ | So they're magic clubs? |
23:29.39 | OluapPlayer | Yeah speaking of which |
23:29.40 | OluapPlayer | go edit nao |
23:29.43 | Monet_ | morningstars, whatever |
23:29.45 | Hachiman | I'm editin dem |
23:30.28 | Hachiman | Monet_: Effectively, yeah. I imagine that the effects of the magic being brought out varies on the Lagosi that use them and the tribes that manufacture them |
23:30.39 | Hachiman | There's a lot of variation between each noble tribe's Warrior Guild after all |
23:32.14 | TekDroid | >.< They've gone through two games worth of innings in this and it's still tied. |
23:34.56 | OluapPlayer | I also spent the day listening to video compilations of final boss themes. Found some good ones I never heard before |
23:35.36 | OluapPlayer | Good music helps me work hur |
23:36.17 | Hachiman | I know that feel hur |
23:38.06 | Hachiman | You know I do wonder if Min Lagosi has to put up with stuff like dragons as well as Lympharians |
23:38.07 | Hachiman | They probably have something like predator turtle-dragons are something |
23:40.18 | OluapPlayer | Turtle-dragons are an interesting idea |
23:40.45 | OluapPlayer | But considering the distance between the main continent and the Kame Isles, I don't see any regular dragons going there for any reason |
23:41.51 | Monet_ | Well Hachi and I discussed that Lagosi warriors could be prized by some |
23:42.33 | Hachiman | Lagosi mercenaries are some of the best and I doubt that the Lagosi of the Dynasty have given up their martial practices |
23:43.02 | Wormy_away | Finally, a good science article on Big Foot http://nautil.us/issue/16/nothingness/why-we-cant-rule-out-bigfoot |
23:43.20 | OluapPlayer | I imagine the Lagosi fit will in the Dynasty's military since them and the Merovar are both races who focus on agility |
23:43.49 | OluapPlayer | well* |
23:48.00 | OluapPlayer | My internet is turning into crap again |
23:48.00 | OluapPlayer | This need to stop |
23:48.46 | TekDroid | So after 19 innings the game is finally over. XD |
23:50.39 | DrodoEmpire | lol |
23:50.41 | DrodoEmpire | Really? |
23:56.21 | DrodoEmpire | test |
23:58.46 | TekDroid | Yeah. |
23:59.40 | TekDroid | And you passed. :P |
