00:12.17HachimanNo point in me being here anymore so
00:24.29DrodoEmpire"One of the most significant historical auctions occurred in the year 193 A.D. when the entire Roman Empire was put on the auction block by the Praetorian Guard."
00:24.30DrodoEmpireO.o
00:24.44TekDroidO.o
00:27.52MonetThe Praetorian Guard weren't really that good a guard were they?
00:28.09DrodoEmpireThey became decadent and corrupt, yes.
00:28.27MonetI swear I remember hearing at least half of all assasinated emperors were at their hands
00:28.37MonetOr it was from neglect of duty
00:28.47DrodoEmpireOftentimes putting emperors loyal to them on the throne or, indeed, killing others that they weren't big fans of.
00:29.17DrodoEmpireAt times they really did own the empire
00:29.28MonetGood thing the paragons sort-of brainwashed their Praetorian Guard.
00:29.36DrodoEmpireHow so?
00:30.11*** join/#sporewiki Tek0516 (~TekDroid@24.114.102.119)
00:30.11MonetWell before the Second House War they were conditioned to follow the commands of the paragon unquestioningly.
00:30.34MonetThey were stil ladaptie in battle, but when a paragon gave an order, they followed.

00:31.13DrodoEmpireMonet: I see. And this was enough to stop them from attempting coups? Or acting out of the guard's self-interest?
00:31.15DrodoEmpireHello
00:31.49MonetEnsuring loyalty mostly, yeah.
00:32.05Monethttp://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141010210142/spore/images/9/96/DraconisSHW01.jpg then one day they were told to do this
00:32.53DrodoEmpireKeep in mind that great empires far younger than the Draconis have had there own guards-gone-corrupt; The Ottoman Janissaries, the Praetorian Guard, the Egyptian Mamluks... The list goes on
00:33.06DrodoEmpireAnd there are other institutions prone to corruption, too
00:33.40DrodoEmpireSo forgive me for being a bit skeptical about the stability and noncorruptness of the current Draconis guard, and country for that matter. :P
00:34.02MonetOh I won't deny the Imperium's governemnt isn't corrupt.
00:34.20MonetI've identified two massive civil wars in its history
00:34.54DrodoEmpireRight
00:34.59MonetAnyway not long after there was a -lot- of pressure both from the Grand Senate (most of whom were dead after said event) and the public to give the guard a little more freedom to question orders.
00:36.21MonetHmm if I recall both the Janissaries and the Praetorian Guard gained considerable wealth and political influence, right?
00:36.36MonetWith some as generals as well as bodyguards?
00:37.07DrodoEmpireYes
00:37.31MonetThat might be where Dragons differ then
00:37.35DrodoEmpireBoth of the groups became very, very, very wealthy and powerful within their respective nations
00:37.56DrodoEmpireWell, trying to curb the eventual increase in political influence, for one
00:38.07DrodoEmpireWhile still maintaining loyalty
00:38.34MonetBecause Blood Dragons are taken as eggs to Alcanti, they're technically Houseless.
00:38.41DrodoEmpireWhich means them practically being drones or just highly-trained army regulars would seem to be two of more effective ways
00:38.47MonetThe Draconis equivilent of an untouchable
00:39.03Guest33767Heh, I got to that scene where half his family gets hanged in Episode II
00:39.16Guest33767Assassain's Creed II
00:39.29MonetThat was nasty
00:39.39MonetThe bastards hung a child!
00:39.58Wormy_aye
00:40.40Wormy_I am quite a cold person, but that did give me a glimmer of sickness especially as I had to escape
00:41.42MonetSo politically, because no Blood Dragons are officially tied by blood or family to a particular house (emphasised by lacking family names), its much more difficult for them to gain influence.
00:41.55DrodoEmpireSo?
00:42.16MonetFamily and heritage means a LOT in Draconis culture
00:42.35DrodoEmpireBoth the Janissaries and Mamluks where *slaves*, within very rigid societies and yet they both came to own their respective countries.
00:42.35MonetWithout a family name to attach yourself to, you're essentially an outcast.
00:43.21DrodoEmpireAnd you think being a slave in the middle east wasn't?
00:43.23DrodoEmpire:P
00:43.30MonetOKay fair point
00:43.57DrodoEmpireI'm not gonna say they where treated as chattel, but they certainly didn't have the cards stacked in there favour, the Janissaries and Mamluks
00:44.35DrodoEmpireI hope I don't come off as undermining or mean, I'm just trying to make you think a bit.

00:44.39MonetWell I think i've only displayed maybe 10, 20% of the Imperium's entire history.
00:45.18MonetAbsolutely anything could have happened in al lthose years; the Imeprium as a power has waxed and waned multipl times.
00:45.32DrodoEmpireYeah that's true
00:45.47DrodoEmpireThe guards could have become very corrupt at one point only to be purged
00:46.25MonetMaybe in being bodyguard and essentially blood-brother to Uriel's father, Davius might have some degree of influence on the Paragon
00:46.47MonetBut as a soldier, there's probably only so much he knows.
00:48.18MonetThe more I talk about this the mroe I wonder about making the Imperium an open-source faction
00:48.52MonetThere is just SO MUCH to cover!
00:50.47Wormy_I'm enjoying AC II a bit more than Mass Effect just for the moment.  I keep getting stuck in Mass Effect
00:51.18Wormy_I'd enjoy ME more if my levels weren't so low and a couple of shots kill me

02:54.54GD12For anyone on the IRC : What constitutes the perfect tank (regardless of cost)
02:55.20Vincent20100ANti aircraft defenses
02:55.45Vincent20100Anti-infantry AND anti-wehicles weaponry

03:00.28GD12Got it
03:00.44Vincent20100Looking
03:00.51Vincent20100IT important I mention it twice
03:01.03Vincent20100since it is twice more important than everything else

03:01.34Vincent20100Having large ammo/cargo/other capacities
03:01.50Vincent20100BEing strong, to track other vehicles
03:02.27Vincent20100Trust it or not, but most WW2 tanks weren't strong enough to track other vehicles until late war
03:02.54Vincent20100This is tactically a big flaw
03:04.10Vincent20100Which Germans exploited perfectly
03:04.24Vincent20100Bieng mechanically reliable too
03:04.32Vincent20100And easy to repair
03:04.53Vincent20100There is also qualities specific to the weapon(s)
03:04.57Vincent20100like, firing speed

03:05.20Vincent20100Armour piercing effectivity
03:05.27Vincent20100stealthyness
03:05.31GD12got it
03:05.41GD12I'll get a subset of those characteristics and make sure the Ogre has them
03:06.11Vincent20100Flamethrowers were very common during WW2 because they were effective weapons for anti-infantry
03:06.20Vincent20100and anti-fortification
03:06.38Vincent20100and cheaper to burn gaz than using metal ammos
03:07.41Vincent20100easiness to clean and maintain

03:11.27Vincent20100travelling speed
03:11.29GD12Got it
03:12.47Vincent20100And being made by my empire of course, makes it at least 50% better

03:16.32Tek0516Vincent20100: So there's been a slight indirect retcon regarding Byzan.
03:16.43GD12Does the addition of lightning/tesla weaponry make it any cooler?
03:17.05Vincent20100PErsonnally, I think yes
03:17.21Vincent20100I like using tesla weapons as anti-infantry
03:17.28Vincent20100What Tek0516?
03:18.00Tek0516Turns out we put Katar on the wrong side of the galaxy on the map so now Katar and by extension Byzan are literally on the other side of the Milky Way. XD

11:52.13Wormy_I should stop looking at the youtube comment section, it is like a school yard of sniggering/angry peer groups
11:52.52Knight_AlienAny Youtuber who gains Popularity is targeted.
11:53.20Knight_AlienPeople on youtube who hate are usually Wannabes and Failures.
11:54.28Wormy_One science channel Veratasium made an incomplete hypothesis, which Thunderf00t, who is an actual chemist set up an experiment falsifying it.  TF wasn't treating Veratasium in any bad light, simply be that nature ruled him out, except in some way he might be right
11:54.51Wormy_The video's comment section is now kicking off with hundreds of youtubers hating on Veratasium
11:55.21Wormy_With lots of not very well thought out points
11:55.30Knight_AlienThose youtubers just needed a excuse to take a Jab at him.

13:42.55Wormy_I should stop looking at the youtube comment section, it is like a school yard of sniggering/angry peer groups
13:43.10Wormy_At least on the videos I watch
13:44.13Wormy_"Reading YouTube comments on a video relating to politics, religion, stereotypes, and the like, will often compel those curious enough to let their eyes dangle at the mosh pit of insanity to wonder what has driven most of these people to achieve such great failure."
13:44.41Wormy_"The comment section on YouTube is truly despicable, mainly due to a lack of moderation by the staff, video owners, and etcetera. True, the occasional intelligent person will seemingly slip through the waves of unintelligible jargon that YouTube renders endlessly, but they are often rare, like finding a lonely message in a bottle, floating among the waves in a sea of urine."
13:46.45DarcySupremestIts not the moderation's fault, its the programmers fault
13:46.59DarcySupremestIts a hilarious failure of design
13:47.27DarcySupremestIts designed to have the most busy and highly discussed comments at the top of the page
13:47.32DarcySupremestto encourage discussion
13:47.39DarcySupremestWhen in reality all it did
13:47.53DarcySupremestwas push Racist and Vitriolic comments to the top
13:48.15DarcySupremestbecause someone being racist in the comments will usually lead to several people refuting them
13:49.02DarcySupremestand thus create discussion in that comment thread, and push it to the top only further increasing the discussion
13:55.38Wormy_At the same time, I'm not against the way people use youtube's comments

14:52.49Wormy_They declare EU an alternative universe, then I declare their universe is in my mind.
14:52.58MonetGood enough for me.
14:53.34MonetPersonally I prefer the idea the Rebel Alliance was formed by a group of disgruntled senators not long after the Empire was formed.
14:53.48GD12Wait to swhats the new canon?
14:53.57GD12Is the Rebel Alliance going to be different?
14:54.09MonetWe're not sure yet.
14:55.14MonetBut Star wars Rebels - set either five years before Episode IV or fivve years after Episode III - will be the story that leads to its formation

He ended up using one of the oars for his boat and pretty much owned his opponent with it despite the other dude having a sword.

15:15.05Vincent20100SHow me some boobies!
15:15.13Vincent20100Heu I mean, tanks of course...
15:15.28MonetTheRealPanda: So essentially Miyamoto won because improvised spear beats sword?
15:15.55TheRealPandaWell, I don't know the terms of the combat, but most likely yeah
15:16.59Wormy_New Scientist diagrans are cool http://www.newscientist.com/data/images/archive/2928/29282101.jpg
15:17.04GD12I'll get to it once I make a model for the Ogre on the weekend
15:17.25MonetI don't really see Miyamoto being easily rendered harmless due to a katana's cutting ability because bamboo and timber (I think that's what the oar was made from) are very different materials in regards to structure.
15:17.25GD12Likely to be a two piece model given the parts i need for it
15:19.47HachimanBasically what he had done was he carved an improvised bokken out of an oar when he was travelling
15:19.47MonetI have no idea on the type of wood Miyamoto's oar was made from, but I do know it would probably be a lot denser and harder than a bamboo pole.
15:20.19MonetWait...
15:20.29MonetSo he used a wooden sword?
15:20.38HachimanAn improvised wooden sword yep

15:27.29Monetokay
15:27.36MonetI see a little black speck near the top
15:27.43Tek0516Exactly.
15:27.56HachimanThe duel was stupidly short actually; he arrived to the duel incredibly late and looked like he just got out of bed in order to unnerve his opponent. His enemy went into a rage and tried attacking him and almost won but the sun had blinded him for a moment and Musashi used that to either 1) crack him in the skull or 2) break his ribs
15:28.36HachimanKeep in mind his opponent was using a nodachi which is a colossal katana in basic terms
15:28.53MonetBig = slow
15:28.57Monetand clumsy
15:29.36OluapWorkerI thought nodachi were ceremonial items, not weapons
15:29.55MonetReminds me of that time Raphael Nadale (was it?) had a match, then went away during intermission and when he came back for the next set he looked as though he'd just arrived at the stadium ready to compete.

15:30.14GhelaeHello.
15:30.44GD12hello
15:31.08HachimanIt's largely a ceremonial item but it's still capable of killing and this was a personal duel rather than an actual battle where it would have come to a disadvantage
15:32.37OluapWorkerNeeds more curved greatswords
15:32.39MonetOKay I think I might know how he won
15:32.39GD12should have used a dual sided nodachi huhu
15:32.46GD12like darth mauls
15:32.49GD12jk
15:32.58HachimanAlso the nodachi became a ceremonial item after this duel, which took place in 1612, while they lost popularity and became ceremonial in 1615
15:33.10OluapWorkerFair enough
15:33.15MonetHe pissed off his opponent and thus said opponent had his guard down.
15:33.52Wormy_hi
15:34.06HachimanMonet: His opponent actually had the advantage for a lot of the time, it's not like Musashi wasn't trying. The guy had apparently managed to slice off some of his hair with a swing that was supposed to take his head off
15:34.13HachimanBut yeah he was pissed hur
15:34.38OluapWorkerdats cliche
15:34.41ImpyDroidHi
15:34.56MonetAnger may be good for whacking but its not so good for a defensive mindset.
15:35.30MonetSo yes while the guy still held up well in the duel, he still wasn't at peak performance.
15:35.36MonetAnger makes you do silly things
15:37.06HachimanAye and Musashi had, according to some, cheated by either doing that or actually arriving when the sun was about to go down which in turn apparently blinded his opponent when Musashi stood in front of it, which Musashi then used to break the guy's bones
15:37.14HachimanOr both
15:37.50MonetPragmatism often wins over honour
15:38.13HachimanAlthough Musashi had turned up late to duels before because he knew it would piss people off and get them out of preparation and peak performance
15:38.16HachimanThe guy was a massive troll
15:39.17MonetIn Medieval Europe, chivalry tended to vanish when on the battlefield itself to the point where knights would train their horses to bite and bash people with their hooves and mass.
15:39.52HachimanIncidentally that fight was also the last one where he killed his opponent to attain victory
15:42.04HachimanNeedless to say, his enemy's supporters were pissed and he had to make a quick escape in order to avoid getting murdered by them, sailing back over the waters almost immediately after having won
15:43.05MonetMiyamoto - Imustleavebutthanksfortheduelseeyoubyebye!
15:43.32dromHell. "Whale Probe" from Star Trek is just strange and irrelevant
15:45.09MonetI think one of the messages in IV was "humans aren't the only species on this planet who aliens are interested in"
15:45.24Wormy_I liked the Whale Probe.  Its unexpected like any new phenomenon, its alien, and doesn't see human-type intelligence as interesting.
15:45.47MonetFor an STL civilisation it makes sense to communicate with a species that's been around a lot longer than we have
15:46.24Wormy_It goes to show aliens might not be interested in us, they prefer to communicate with our gut bacteria, or think cities are superorganisms.
15:47.47Wormy_Mind you I've disagree with that view lately, since humans are epistemologically unique on Earth.  But then maybe there are subtle things more interesting than us on Earth to wildly alien, aliens
15:48.31dromThe conecpt is smart. But I rather find it, strange.
15:48.37MonetI think it has a more current message too. Wasn't whaling a huge concern i nthe 80s?
15:50.01dromYeah, and it's still a huge concern in the new 10s.
15:50.27dromSpecially us in Nordic and Japan.
15:50.46Wormy_I love strangeness in science fiction
15:51.15Wormy_Especially when its influenced by strangeness from science
15:51.49Wormy_though its only strange because of our limited perceptions/internal models
15:52.22Wormy_science fiction is a way to escape it

16:45.52Vincent20100F*cking family
16:46.10Vincent20100Give all new titles to my family memebers
16:46.19Vincent20100they start marrying togheter
16:46.22Tek0516I was doing a HRE count start but I've been having a crash glitch with Catholicism.
16:46.33Vincent20100two third of them have at least one bad genetic trait
16:47.02Tek0516Damn.
16:47.08Vincent20100Revoked everything, hold all titles for about 40 years (for two charceters life time), purified my family
16:47.20Tek0516O.o
16:47.28Vincent20100From more than 5000 living member, to about 300
16:47.46Tek0516O.O
16:47.50Vincent20100re-breed some genius/strong/quick into the gene to repair it a bit
16:48.08Tek0516Please tell me you added zeroes there.
16:48.11Tek0516O.o
16:48.17Vincent20100And relanded only a third of the titles to family members, other went to random families
16:48.48MonetThat's one of the flaws with the european monarchy - everyone's marrying each other and creating inbreeding.
16:48.52Vincent20100Musulim took and good chunk of my land meanwhile with France trying to take Barcelona
16:48.57Vincent20100yah
16:49.04Vincent20100That's why from now on
16:49.28Vincent20100Only 33% of land titles will be granted to my own family
16:49.43Vincent20100It will limit inbreeding
16:50.18Vincent20100AI seems to marry first for alliance, than claims, than relation and finally consider inbreeding
16:50.35Vincent20100But I like have having huge families
16:50.41Vincent20100Especially as a Catholic
16:51.05Tek0516The trick is spreading them around.
16:51.07Vincent20100Once your family pops start exploding, youcan just infiltrate the Curia ^^
16:51.18Vincent20100Matrilineal mariages helps too
16:51.39Vincent20100It'svery rare I mary one of my girl reguliarly
16:51.51Tek0516I should get that Abraham expansion at some point.
16:52.18Vincent20100Is it the one introducing the college of Cardinals?
16:52.24Tek0516Yeah.
16:52.36Vincent20100I have it then
16:53.15Tek0516I believe it also adds all the Jewish stuff.
16:53.41Vincent20100yah

17:23.32Monethttp://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/multimedia/archive/00092/14810799_sun_92940b.jpg this is why I said "any party"
17:23.33HachimanWomen can't resist men in uniforms
17:23.50ImperiosNazis in general are less stigmatised in Asia for obvious reasons (Japan was an Axis country in the first place and the rest were terrorised by them, not Germany, so... yeah they aren't very hated)
17:24.07MonetWhat's funny is I swear the image on Prince Harry's armband is wrong.
17:24.11Imperioshur
17:24.21ImperiosHitler's also somewhat popular in India I heard
17:24.30MonetA few Indians joined him
17:24.37HachimanAye he had Indian troops
17:24.40ImperiosMakes a lot of sense if you realise where the word "Aryan" and the swastika came from
17:24.50MonetYeah that Swastika on Prince Harry's Armband is dead on straight.
17:25.28MonetSo not only was he being a brick for going as a Nazi, he's also a brick for embalzoning the Swastika the wrong way round.
17:25.39Monetto what was intended
17:26.11Tek0516Well if EUIV's culture groups taught me anything, Aryan is around India. And the swastika was some Indian religion's peace symbol or something, wasn't itM
17:26.15Tek0516*?
17:27.03Tek0516Well, the reversed version.
17:28.49MonetI learned that in China (or one of the Oriental countries) the symbol is used in street signs to indicate the location of a temple.
17:29.42MonetSo I think its only really in Europe, North Africa and the US where you get "Swastikas = Nazis = Pure evil"
17:30.12ImperiosYa
17:30.22ImperiosThere are still Jainists
17:30.42HachimanKeep in mind that there are also few Jews in Asia
17:30.55HachimanOr at least the far East
17:32.02MonetYes but were there concentration camps like Dakov and Aushuiz in the Far East?
17:32.22Wormy_In school we were sent to a Hindu temple and afterwards, we had to make cards thanking them.  Our teacher instructed us to safe way of making a swastika.  However, he then jumped into racism when he said "if you do it the wrong way around, they will be cleansing and sweeping their temple for months and think you are a demon"
17:32.28HachimanWell there was Nanking
17:32.45MonetThe holocaust is what mainly turned the Nazis from another imperialist power into the physical incarnation of the evils of humanity
17:32.55ImperiosMonet: Yes there were, and the Japanese were just as brutal, though in different ways
17:33.07ImperiosThey had their own Mengele, for example
17:33.22MonetJust for Jews?
17:33.59HachimanWhat Japan did to China could be compared to what Germany did to Poland
17:34.06ImperiosWell, there was never any group like the Jews in Asia, though the Japanese's conquest was also quite race-driven
17:34.13ImperiosI'd compare it to what Germany did in Russia
17:34.21ImperiosHachiman: ...Nah
17:34.23HachimanYeah, that's more appropriate
17:34.30ImperiosKorea's more like it
17:34.42ImperiosKorea = Poland + Austria; China is more like Russia
17:35.20HachimanFunny cuz China was in league with the Soviets
17:35.35HachimanAnd Japan and Russia also had their fair share of battles
17:35.54MonetOKay so as far as I can work out, I take it in China, Korea the Phillipines and the Siam region Japan was the East's answer to Germany?
17:36.09HachimanPretty much
17:36.28MonetThere's always been a slight communicatio gap between the two halves of the world
17:36.29Tek0516Yeah.
17:37.00MonetSo I can understand if Hitler's atrocities weren't as widely known in Beijing as they were in Washington or London.
17:37.30HachimanIn fact in some aspects Japan was considerably worse; while there are quite a few examples of Germany despising the uprising of the Nazi movement, from what I know there were almost no arguments against what the Japanese government was doing inside of Japan
17:37.58MonetPlus I think the countries talk less to each other i nthe East.
17:38.02ImperiosThat's pretty much while a great deal of Chinese and Korean people hate Japan more
17:38.28ImperiosGermany apologised and changed completely, JApan never did

17:38.48Tek0516Hello
17:39.08MonetIn Europe it was pretty-much France, Russia, America and other smaller nations in constant contact with intelligence and news being spread around like a plague.
17:39.23HachimanJapan is also currently going through lengths to remove parts of their history from official history books, such as what they did during the World Wars
17:39.26MonetAmerica, England*
17:40.45MonetWhile the Korean public might not have known that much what the Japanese were doing in the phillipines or in southern China, most of the UK and French populations were wel laware of say Erwin Rommel's African campaign.
17:41.18MonetThen again I could be mistaken
17:41.20ImperiosKorea was the first to be invaded and they essentially tried to stamp its culture completely for the entirety of their rule over it
17:41.31ImperiosWell actually it was invaded earlier than that, before WWII
17:42.14MonetGCSE pretty much completely ignored what happened in the pacific theatre apart from the bombing of pearl harbour, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
17:42.31MonetPre-GCSE sorry
17:42.37Imperios#eurocentrism
17:43.05HachimanThe Rape of Nanking is perhaps too atrocious to be taught to pre-GCSE schoolchildren though
17:43.06MonetYeah I was largely clueless at what went on at Midway and Iwo Jima.
17:43.25GD12Another point - I've also heard that education is getting less rigorous in general for secondary schooling so perhaps that leads them to cover these things less in depth?
17:43.34GD12or less things in general
17:44.09MonetAt the very least you would have thought that they would teach kids about the occupation of Singapore.
17:44.25GD12They don't do that in British School
17:44.28GD12?
17:44.41MonetNope. I found that out watching Tenko.
17:45.17HachimanI am willing to argue that WW2 was being fought for eight years rather than six due to conflicts in Asia which would later be recognized as causes for Japanese Axis activity
17:45.42GD12I think thats valid as well
17:45.47GhelaeFor my pre-GCSE history education, we went over both D-Day and the nuclear bombings in the final ever lesson. I think I learned more about D-Day in GCSE English.
17:45.49MonetCome to think of it...when it came to learning about Ancient Rome, I can hardly remember being told anything about it beyond Roman Britain.
17:46.12GD12orly
17:46.13GD12wot
17:46.42MonetI'd say Roman Britain was about 70-80% of the pre-GCSE curriculum
17:48.01MonetNothing on the Punic Wars, nothing o nthe Triumvirate Wars, nothing about the Roman Republic, the most I knew of Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony and Cleopatra came from knowing SHakespeare's plays.
17:48.53MonetFor..2 years it was mostly about Roman towns and Boudicca's uprising.
17:49.16MonetRoman engineering and a few archaeological sites.
17:49.25MonetOh and Hadrians' Wall
17:49.32GD12wait dumb question so eduation in england is like GCSE - A Levels - Uni?
17:50.17Wormy_Myyeah#
17:50.20Wormy_*yeah
17:50.21MonetGCSE is when you can start choosing what to study, but yeah that's 14/15+ in a nutshell.
17:50.51GD12i see, thanks
17:50.55Tek0516Canadian history: Columbus -> French explorers -> Pioneers -> Confederation -> WWI -> WWII -> Cold War
17:51.01Tek0516That's pretty much everything
17:51.23Tek0516They don't teach us anything ekse really.
17:51.27ImperiosMonet: ..Weird
17:51.29Wormy_My primary school was awful and I learned nothing there.  Our week was most entirely Maths and English, we had some IT, a tiny bit if history, a tiny tiny bit of acting in our last year.
17:51.29MonetI talked with GCSE and A-Level History students and it turns out they don't learn much outside the 20th century. The bulk of it is WWI and WWII
17:51.45ImperiosIn Russia we have two separate history subjects: one dedicated to Russia, one to the rest of the world
17:52.16ImperiosSince Russia's history begins in the Middle Ages we have one year devoted to global history only, from then on it is evenly split
17:52.43Wormy_History in my school was Roman Brain, and the Tudors.
17:52.50Wormy_*Britain
17:53.05MonetI remember being taught the Engish Civil War
17:53.38Wormy_I learned nothing about maths because despite my clear problems the teachers didn't do shit to help me
17:53.43MonetProbably because during that time Oxford (a 10 minute busride from where I grew up) was Charles I's effective capital.
17:53.58Tek0516Basically they teach us about the pioneers, explorers and a tiny bit on the native Americans for all of elementary school, then do a very Canadian-centric 10s-40s in one semester of high school. That's the Canadian history curriculum.
17:54.03Wormy_Even after pressure from an external studying my progress
17:54.49MonetWormy_: DId you do anything on the middle ages?
17:55.17Wormy_My teacher was very mean to me.  In the end my parents took me and home educated me and I learned a shitload more than I would have done, though both have teaching experience.
17:55.23Wormy_nope
17:55.42GhelaeFrom primary school, I vaguely remember Ancient Rome (probably just Britain), Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece (which tied in with our geography topic of Greece), the Tudors, the Victorians, and probably the Dark Ages (there was a whole Viking-themed day which was actually run by followers of Asatru).
17:56.03Tek0516I think we cover the middle ages in Grade 4 or something, so Middle Ages is basically they had knights and castles, and everyone spoke a really wierd English.
17:56.17MonetI did a bit but again, mostly Britain. My school kind-of glossed over the whole Crusades period aside from how RIchard the I left england and left king John in charge..
17:57.23MonetI remember my class spent a lesson on the feudal system and the teacher separated the rows of desks into tiers.
17:57.25GD12Ghelae : Random question, what math class are you taking this term?
17:58.17MonetOne girl sat on a chair on a table and was the monarch, sitting on the tables were the lords, sitting in chair were the knights and everyone in the back rows had to sit on the floor.
17:58.19GhelaeMy maths modules are Mathematical Medicine and Biology and the poorly-named Differential Equations (we've done plenty and still do plenty of differential equations; "asymptotic methods" would have been a better name).
17:58.34ImperiosMathematical Biology
17:58.36GhelaeNext semester I'm doing Game Theory.
17:58.41Imperios...how that works
17:58.50Wormy_We had a "Tudor man" come into our class, dressed as a man from the Tudor period.  He actually brought a musket and fired it in the school field
17:58.53GD12Ooh, nice
17:58.55ImperiosOkay I am a mathematical linguist so I probably am a hypocrite hur
17:59.07GhelaeYou can describe things like how populations evolve and how biochemical reactions take place.
17:59.39GD12ngh I always have shedule conflicts for game theory so ip robably cant take that
18:00.12MonetTek0516: "everyone spoek really wierd english" did you ever read Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in their original form?
18:00.17GhelaeI would have taken Coding and Cryptography instead of Differential Equations this term, and then done Topics in Scientific Computation next term, but... didn't.
18:00.37GD12Coding and Cryptography is great fun
18:00.47MonetThe wierdness of Shakespearian English has nothing on Chaucerian English.
18:01.00Tek0516Uh... I think we had some guy wearing a kmight costume say a paragraph in old English. XD
18:01.00GhelaeAlthough because I put CCR on my module choices back in the spring, I was able to access the lecture notes for it online so I downloaded them onto my laptop.
18:01.03GD12I'm doing Real Analysis, Abstract Algebra, Fourier Analysis, and Stochastic Processes next sem hopefully, then hopefully topology , abstract algebra and sets after that
18:01.14GD12Ahh cool
18:01.23GD12The UK college systems sounds really cool
18:01.28GD12graduate in 3 years
18:01.30GD12and no bs classes
18:01.37Wormy_Appled and Environmental  http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/geology/ugcourses/aeg
18:01.39MonetClasses as in...
18:01.54MonetBecause we still have lectures over here
18:02.24GD12That and a drinking age of 18 doesn't sound bad
18:02.28GD12classes = lectures
18:02.30GhelaeMy physics modules are called Atoms, Photons and Fundamental Particles (we've done nuclear physics and scattering so far), and Solid State Physics, but this semester I'm also doing a project titled "Non-Equilibrium Dynamics of Simple Open Quantum Systems", which involves using analytical and numerical methods to solve the equations of motions for density matrices.
18:02.49Wormy_UK has lecture theatres too lol
18:03.26GhelaeFinally, there's a Natural Sciences Synoptic Module, where we get put into groups of six and have to do a few science research and communication projects together.
18:03.30GD12nice
18:03.35GD12Thats very cool
18:04.36ImpyDroid<PROTECTED>
18:04.45ImpyDroidDo you understand anything about limits?
18:04.49GhelaeYes.
18:04.57Wormy_There is a lot of (classical) physics in geology.  I think planetary science one does look into quantum physics
18:04.57MonetMy weekly schedule for this term is: Photoshop and Autodesk Maya sessions on Monday, Film studies on Tuesday (where we atch an old film and have to review it later), Wednesday is life drawing, thursday I have lectures and seminars on Cultural Context, Friday I have Adobe Suite and animation lessons.
18:04.59ImpyDroidRite
18:05.22ImpyDroidI am currently trying to understand what I have to do with them
18:05.49Wormy_Though in Atoms to Rocks, we did do atomic/nuclear physics (in a geochemical context) and the inner workings of stars
18:05.50ImpyDroidHow are you supposed to prove equations with limits using their definition formula?
18:06.07Tek0516My term consists of Physics, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Engineering Core, and programming.
18:06.42Wormy_I still love the Coloumb Barrier lecture
18:07.16GhelaeI'm not quite sure exactly what you mean, but my experience with limits generally involves rearranging (and sometimes, using l'Hopital's rule, differentiating) to avoid any division by zero, then basically substituting the limit itself as the relevant variable.
18:07.46MonetOne of my cultural context lecturers likes to intersperse his presentations with memes, demotivationals and lolcat pictures.
18:07.56ImpyDroidHur
18:09.04GD12do you mean using epsilon delta?
18:09.28GD12or what?

18:52.28dromThe story is going to be about the life of a female rebel living in a CIS world which NC conquered during the New Cyrandia War.

19:15.01dromWhich length would be the most ideal for a super dreadnought. So I won't go too far on the length?
19:15.59GD12well
19:16.03dromStar Wars' super star destroyer is around 18 km long.
19:16.07ImperiosOluapWorker: http://pastie.org/9670970 dere
19:16.32GD1230 - 40 km if you want it noticeably bigger than an ssd
19:16.35GD12idk
19:16.44OluapWorkerThe hell is up with your scores
19:16.51ImperiosI dunno hur
19:16.52dromhm. it's more of a bigger target then
19:16.58OluapWorkerSomething's wrong there
19:17.02GD12CyraEmp's executor class is 32 km iirc
19:17.15GD12depends on how much bigger you want it to be than an ssd
19:17.40OluapWorkerDid you pick "5d6 best 3" on your dice?
19:17.50drombah, i wish i could do D&D but I can't seem to find ideal partners.
19:17.59ImperiosI think it's because I made my char old
19:18.14OluapWorkerDid you pick "5d6 best 3" on your dice or not?
19:18.29ImperiosNo, standard
19:18.33ImperiosI think it's the old modifier
19:18.43OluapWorkerRoll new number sunder that dice then
19:18.51ImperiosI dunno I could remove it but lore-wise my dude is supposed to be old
19:18.52OluapWorkerI probably should've warned you of this before
19:20.40dromI personally think the one without captions is better. What do you guys think? http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User:Dromlexer/Sandbox#Mou.27Cyran_Accords_Member_List
19:23.31ImperiosRight I fixed it but my Str and Dxt are still pretty low
19:23.58OluapWorkerLemme see
19:24.02Gheldrom: The one without captions doesn't have the problem of sngle words being cut up and spread across multiple lines.
19:24.27Imperioshttp://pastie.org/9670990 Basically bad STR and DXT everything else is ok
19:24.53OluapWorkerYoru char is a cripple hur
19:25.20ImperiosHe's supposed to be super-old yah
19:25.41GhelAlthough in case you didn't notice, the NCR flag links to "Fiction:New Cyrannian Republic'" with an apostrophe at the end.
19:26.15OluapWorkerIf you're willing to have him with such low scores, you can do it
19:26.22OluapWorkerAfter all you do get some bonuses out of being old
19:26.33OluapWorkerAnd you have spells and stuff which don't need strength
19:27.16dromGhel. Thanks, I'll fix it if Cyrannian likes it.
19:27.27dromOtherwise I'll just leave it and collect dust.
19:27.55ImperiosOluapWorker: I actually got special feats in case I get trapped like before

19:32.00GD12How about COlossus or Behemonth or Gargantuan or Leviathan
19:32.15dromNoice.
19:32.56GhelThat's six different names. You could have six different types of super-dreadnought with that.

20:38.55dromoh wel
20:39.04XhoThen again I don't even remember what its initial purpose was
20:39.26GD12Then Madum Kadur is also giant
20:39.26dromI see that the "unique design length" is around 250 km on that one
20:39.31GD12but measured in km
20:39.32XhoSome kind of portal device probabl
20:39.34GD12aye
20:39.36Xhoprobably*
20:39.41GD12unqique design length is 250 km for nemesis
20:39.47GhelI think the purpose of most Xhodocto megastructures is to be really big.
20:39.49XhoI dunno, I don't really remember any of the Xhodocto ships
20:40.10XhoSince Xhodocto kind of transcend existence ships aren't really in their agenda any more
20:40.13GD12The Xhodocto Colossus is a massive Xhodocto carrier ship, currently used by the Cult of the Deathmarch.
20:40.18GD12382ft long, 106ft wide
20:40.50XhoI probably intended it to be much bigger but never edited the page again after that
20:40.54GD12anywho
20:40.54dromGD12: You once talked about bounds. What did you mean about it?
20:41.20GD1220 km <= super dreadnaught length <= 40 km
20:41.56dromHm. Out of curiousity and sheer optimism, what your bounds on Ultra dreadnoughts?
20:42.23GD12if( 20 <= sd.length && sd.length <= 40){ return true; } else { throw new Exception ("out of bounds " ) }
20:43.07GD12*for future reference
20:43.09GD12well
20:43.14dromAnd I can imagine if this ship would about to crash land into a planet, it would oblierate the whole planet's surface.
20:43.16GD12i mean
20:43.20GD12if you want to go bonkers
20:43.33GD12you could just shit sanity out of the window
20:43.44GD12and make ships larger than 100 km
20:43.50MonetThe bigger the ship the more of a pain it is to keep it structurally sound
20:43.54GD12whistles and looks elsewhere
20:43.57GhelEventually, you stop having a starship and end up with a Death Star.
20:43.59GD12^^
20:44.08dromGD12: https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/thumb/b/b5/RedBonk.png/250px-RedBonk.png?t=20111211062119
20:44.32XhoHence why the larger Kicathian ships are around 23km
20:44.52GhelIn the end, you have a huge space habitat with a hyperdrive.
20:44.59GD12except for the supercarrier
20:45.06XhoThough there are installation carriers which do carry Dreadnought class ships
20:45.07GD12which carries those 23km ships around
20:45.11Xhoc
20:45.16GD12aye dere
20:45.22dromi c
20:45.37XhoThose are probably around 55 - 60km
20:45.48GD12Probably i'm the person with the stupidly big ships, though my empires dying anyways
20:46.39GD12or dead depending on where you look on the timeline
20:47.26XhoMost of the Kicath's truly large stuff probably take the form of whatever you call those black hole energy extractamajiggers and ringworld constructs
20:47.45GD12Halo
20:47.47dromif (sanity.Exists == true) { do while (!sanity.Exists) { Brain.Mentality.Psych.Dump(Brain.Mentality.Psych.Sanity) } }
20:48.24GD12that doesn't do anything hur
20:48.45GD12if sanity.Exists is false it never gets into the if loop
20:48.53GD12If its true it never gets into the do while
20:49.19GhelSporeWikiverse tech should allow you to stick entrances to basement universes inside much smaller vessels, making large ships obsolete. You can stick all of the weapons and engines you need inside a fairly small object and just fire them out through portals.
20:49.27dromdo while loops does something until the said condition has changed.
20:49.58GhelThen following this logic, you should end up with a superdreadnought inside a TARDIS.
20:50.11GD12ahh i thought that was just a while
20:50.31dromIt even works as "while () {}" loops. Or else "do {} while ()".
20:50.36GD12curls up into a ball and abandons hope of pursuing a Computer Science PhD
20:50.47MonetGhel: Hey I considered that idea for my DI arcs
20:50.50DrodoEmpireGhel: The weapons themselves would need to actually need to physically fit through the "hole" and would they be able to have good lines of sight?
20:50.50Monetarks*
20:50.51DrodoEmpire:P
20:51.10dromThe alternative is "do {}" loops with a "break;" inside it. Preferably an if loop.
20:51.11GD12well there are no voids/methods which change state of sanity inside that if loop
20:51.19DrodoEmpireYou could have a lunchbox-sized dreadnaught but would the missiles physically fit through the portals made?
20:51.25DrodoEmpire:P
20:51.27GhelI'm sure they could have good lines of sight, but yes, there's a limit to the size of the missiles that can leave.
20:51.48DrodoEmpirePlus that just sounds utterly frivolous imo; I'm a traditionalist of course but just my opinion
20:51.50GhelThat is, until you invent remotely-expandable portals. :P
20:51.52DrodoEmpire:P
20:52.16dromGD12: Unless you create a mainframe for that.
20:52.17GhelA lunchbox-sized spaceship would at least make for a very small target.
20:52.39GD12rite, well i didn't assume that for the program
20:52.44DrodoEmpireBut for advanced targeting computers and homing missiles it wouldn't be very difficult much at all.
20:53.29DrodoEmpireI doubt the production costs, at least early on would be worth it and they seem somewhat vulnerable to getting their legs swept out from under them by cyberwarfare or other methods; Such as disconnected the pocket universe or do other disruptive methods
20:53.34DrodoEmpire*disconnecting
20:53.46dromGD12: I'm going to dump my sanity anyway. But it's however limited to only 3 finished products of those due to production time and resource usage.
20:54.23GD12regarding the superdreadnaught
20:54.26GD12i see
20:54.55GhelYou'd probably be better off using it as an additional feature, at least at the start: a more reasonable-sized ship with an on-board basement universe for extra supplies.
20:55.12DrodoEmpirePerhaps
20:55.38dromGhel physically saying: What's a "basement universe".
20:55.49DrodoEmpireFor storage I think that technology would be incredible; Imagine how easy logistics would become
20:55.57DrodoEmpireIts just for weapons... I'm not sure
20:56.03GhelAs for homing missiles, they would definitely make the small target size worthless, unless the small size with the potential for huge amounts of propulsive power allow the ship to out-accelerate any missile (unless that missile itself has a pocket universe of fuel inside...)
20:56.14Wormy_Ghel:  Thats a very trippy ship indeed
20:56.32DrodoEmpireOpening portals to fire stuff could leave open that "pocket universe" to be fired in,
20:56.57DrodoEmpireand what happens if the portal isn't big enough for the missiles or projectiles? :P
20:57.04GhelThat's true, but any more true than opening a weapons port allows weapons to be fired into the guns?
20:57.20DrodoEmpireI just think its exposing what is then the innards of the ship to unnecessary risk
20:57.32DrodoEmpireExcept firearms are *far* different from ship cannons
20:57.50GhelAnd you already mentioned the possibility of portals being too small to fire projectiles out of.
20:58.04Wormy_It is kind of like how I imagine the hyperspatial aliens.  To it, its looking through two portals to realspace in its small field of vision, but in realspace, thats means a giant eye is looking through portals millions of light years apart.
20:58.09DrodoEmpireImagine if you had to open up the broadside of a ship to fire its cannons; exposing it to fire and leaving it without the protection afforded by armour
20:58.20DrodoEmpireI added that point for the sake of completness.
20:58.23Xho"Science" - Nu
20:59.14dromScience, bitch!
20:59.41GD12forces Xho to explain all the Xhodocto shenanigans with science
20:59.53Xho"Aliens"
21:00.05GhelIf you  have an entire basement universe at your disposal, there's no need for the weapons to be anywhere near vital parts (besides issues of how far you can transfer power and get maintenance done), so any portals that open to the weapons don't need to open up near, say, a power plant or crew.
21:00.08GD12tl;dr aliens go away
21:00.35XhoFine
21:00.38DrodoEmpireLike, I'm under the assumption that this pocket universe would house the innards of the ship, and by using portals in order to fire, you expose at the very least the weapon and its ammunition/power supply to unnecessary risk.
21:00.40Xho"q"
21:00.55GD12huhu
21:00.56Wormy_The way I imagine what Ghel is saying, there could be a basement universe/wormhole space linked to various parts or nodes in realspace, which are small ships or ship functions
21:00.59DrodoEmpireAnd we all know what happens if someone shoots live ammunition...
21:01.11DrodoEmpireEven if you're on the other end of the ship, its not gonna be good
21:01.14GhelI still don't see how that's any more dangerous than having the guns on a ship that isn't inside a pocket universe.
21:01.22GD12tl;dr clarketech solves alot of problems
21:01.40GhelIn that case, enemies can target the weapons all the time, not just when a portal is opened.
21:01.48XhoPerhaps that's how the Kicath managed to get an oracle hypercomputer in their ships
21:01.59DrodoEmpireWell, the guns there can be behind armour or on the outside of the ship, while the targeting systems, ammunition and powersupply can be safely put behind armour and shields.
21:02.07*** join/#sporewiki Liquid_Ink (79d016b9@gateway/web/freenode/ip.121.208.22.185)
21:02.09dromThe purpose of this ultra dreadnought is to raise the army value and build weaponry against other strong dreadnoughts.
21:02.18dromPreferably with immense force.
21:02.26GD12wait
21:02.31DrodoEmpireAnd the ammunition can't be so easily isolated from the weapons as the power supply; It needs to be able to be loaded quickly.
21:02.32GD12i thought we were only at superdreadnaught
21:02.36GhelWhy do you assume you can't have armour and shields as well as a basement universe?
21:03.03dromGD12: Because I have gone full bonkers. My sanity is in the dumpster already.
21:03.22GD12whats the tech level of the naajs again?
21:03.46DrodoEmpirePerhaps armour plating and shields can be put, yes.
21:04.24Wormy_Xho:  Weather where I live:  http://twentytwowords.com/wind-so-strong-it-stops-a-river-and-makes-a-98-foot-waterfall-disappear/
21:04.43dromGD12: Tier 2, but it have been a time, so it's less than 2 now.
21:04.59GD12drom : is big ship building a racial specialty of the naajs?
21:05.20XhoWormy_: Britain, because fuck logic
21:05.23GD12Well did it start at low tier 2?
21:05.31GD12Did it get there through its own advancement or civilization stuff
21:05.51dromConsidering that they have no concept of economy, Anarchy market.
21:06.52dromSo. Trading is almost impossible due to lack of currency.
21:07.31GD12Rite, how does that relate to bigships?
21:07.38GD12(the lack of trading)
21:08.00dromNah, it's not related to that.
21:08.14GD12Heres my advice
21:08.30GD12since you want big ships
21:08.41GD12ultra dreadnaught - 70 km
21:08.51GD12super dreadnaught - 40 km
21:08.52dromTo ensure their safety, they have to control and enforce their territory with strongest power possible.
21:08.54GD12dreadnaught - 30 km
21:08.56GD12*20
21:08.59GD1220 km
21:09.10GD12capital ship - 10 km
21:09.13GD12cruiser - 5 km
21:09.22MonetGd12: The Naakji rely on Civilisation tech
21:09.24Wormy_All so puny compared to the hundreds of millions of km SporeWikiverse had in less rigorous times
21:09.43dromYep.
21:09.59Wormy_Empires like the Jovar and Sylit reallu did have Solar System sized carriers ngh
21:10.13TekDroidO.O
21:10.14Wormy_At least until I started moaning
21:10.17TekDroid...wat.
21:10.21GD12How do those proportions sound drom?
21:10.33dromGD12: Well. The length is more closer to super dreadnaught than to ultras.
21:10.43drom(~57 kms)

21:21.07XhoI forgot how maddening the full version of Sol Niger Within was, definitely something you don't want to listen to if you're tripping
21:21.09GD12drom : so are you settling on that size?
21:21.31GD12drom : I mean who do the naajs even want to go to war with?
21:21.35dromGD12: y not?
21:22.06dromit's to have an once-for-all reserve plan
21:22.21GD12rite
21:22.21Xhohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHgSlmkj9v8#t=141 So it looks like a the hoverboard has been invented
21:22.40GD12I should add that such a ship will require lots of maintenance
21:22.52GD12And that oftentimes, new technology is generally unreliable
21:22.54dromXho: Morelike a hoverblock
21:23.06Xhowell fuk ur pedantry cuz it a hoverboard
21:23.26dromdis is logic
21:23.35Xhofuk ur logic
21:23.58dromfuk ur aggorance den
21:24.01GD12drom : then theres also the part that for a single ultradreadnuahgt you could have built tons of smaller ships
21:24.08GD12again, just practicality considerations
21:24.19GD12I go bonkers on ships too :)
21:24.36Wormy_Xho:  Hoverbikes already exist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpko3CPHonQ#
21:24.59dromGD12: Understandable, even if it can beat everything (not implying about anything superior than it), it need a fleet to maxizime the efficiency.
21:25.22Wormy_https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/projects/1022476/photo-main.jpg?1401833038
21:26.23GD12What other considerations do i have for ultra dreadnaughts
21:26.25dromAnd if it did have anti-fighter/point-blank defence weaponry. I guess it'd have least 500 of those scattered across the ship.
21:26.47Wormy_Ooh test pilot needed http://www.hover-bike.com/MA/news/
21:27.01GD12my last consideration is that for most purposes its overkill and that unless engaging a peer power, will spend most of its time sitting in a dockyard
21:27.03dromIf not sparse, I can only see the exaggration of 4000+ of those cramping the surface.

22:35.23Wormy_Test
22:35.34Wormy_Antimatter resistant ships?
22:35.56dromi wondered if they do even exist
22:36.58Wormy_I think once the shields are bypassed, thats it
22:37.23dromWormy_: You better be saving your long answers in a pastebin. Because I have got to go now.
22:37.25dromSee ya
22:37.30Wormy_Even something like neutronium would be useless, since antimatter would sink through it.
22:38.19Wormy_Maybe a layer of holeums might resist it or eat it away.
22:38.44Wormy_If you are reading this, I've told you to look at the logs.
22:41.35Wormy_Types of shielding could deflect it, I imagine non-phasic shields using repulsive gravity are very good and maybe even come into action if the primary shields go offline.  Very advanced might even use wormholes, the Culture for example has a trapdoor mechanism that can displace internal explosions.
22:42.46MonetIt is hard ot say how to make something antimatter-resistant since antymatter tends to react with any kind of baryonic material.
22:46.43HachimanSimple answer; you can't lol
22:49.52MonetWell you can contain it with a magnetic field
22:50.06MonetBut you need a very strong magnetic field
23:14.09Wormy_Maybe there is a way to create an ablative antimatter armour
23:14.44Wormy_Which is suspended above normal matter with internal forcefields, sounds extremely dangerous though.
23:15.27AngrybirdsIf the power goes out for even a second. xD
