00:10.30OfficerJackalHello!
00:11.02dromyeo
00:13.02MonetHello
00:17.03dromWormy_ What do you think about a 2-3 km radius reactor core inside a giant ship?
00:19.00dromActually, scrap the radius, it's too big. But I was still thinking about km-big reactor core.
00:21.35Wormy_rule of cool
00:21.40Wormy_above all else
00:22.49dromSo you are implying that it's superior?
00:23.51MonetBig stuff is always impressive to look at
00:27.50dromreactor core with a dwarf star. whoaaaaaa-
00:27.54dromimagination is cool
00:28.13drombut sometimes too exaggrated.
00:32.20dromanyway, bascially a reactor with fusion and fission. Bascially a small star being bombardied by nuclear charges over time and over time.
00:33.41MonetI might have heard of an idea a bit like that

00:34.59DrodoEmpireBack
00:35.42dromUsing the gramma waves to recharge the process. The emitted rays (UV, light and loose gramma waves) become energy.
00:36.02Monetgamma*
00:36.27MonetYou're probably better off with a fusion reactor.
00:37.21dromAh yes. I see. But what could happen anyway?
00:38.34DrodoEmpireYour ship cannot into space with that reactor.
00:39.14MonetI don't see much point in the fission reaction.
00:39.44dromOkay. Fusion is enough though.
00:40.15MonetElements lighter than iron (ie the vast majority of material inside a star) take mroe energy to break in a fission reaction than they give out.
00:40.53MonetVice versa with fusion. WHich is why elements like hydrogen are used in fusion and elements like uranium and plutonium are used in fission.
00:44.15Knight_Alientest
00:45.25dromAlright. Thanks for the inputs. This is what I have managed to stitch together this night. http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Vehicle:Jamaymus-class_Jormungandr#Anatomy
00:53.04TybusenI remember a creating a TIAF star-busting weapon that essentially amounted to "lol lets stick a fusion reactor inside a star and stuff it full of helium"
00:54.15Knight_Alien:P
00:56.07TybusenSurprisingly enough it got used in a major plot point during a war fiction
00:56.48MonetWell the principle you wanted sounds like a useful superweapon
00:57.00TybusenThe kicker is that I created a counterpart to it that was designed to perform fission on helium in a star in order to extend a star's life
00:57.59Tybusen"Obviously it must be just as simple to separate helium as it is to fuse hydrogen! lol #geniusmode"
00:58.48MonetHelium -is- a noble gas.
01:11.20Wormy_sick prank https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=465201000201820
01:23.56MonetI might talk to Drom later but I think maybe having a star for a fusion reactor might be a bit inefficient
01:24.26MonetYou have a huge volume that's hidden away from the collectors.
01:25.15MonetTHen again maybe that's a design the Naakji thought was most effective.

01:29.43TekDroidThe Beyond Earth reviews are rather curious.
01:30.15MonetHow so?
01:30.24TekDroidCritics loved it, yet fans seem to be quite mixed on it.
01:30.37HachimanIt was a shit film
01:30.41HachimanOh wait
01:30.46HachimanI'm thinking of After Earth
01:30.50MonetYes you are
01:31.08MonetI've heard some people are ocmplaining it to be basically Civ V in space.
01:31.17TekDroidFor example Metacritic is 82/100 for critics while users only give it 5.9/10
01:32.01MonetWhich considering the compltely redesigned tech tree and the affinities system, its probably them trying to find some way to bash it somehow.
01:32.20TekDroidI'm guessing critics are mostly reviewing it as iys own game while many fans review it as Civ 5 in space.
01:33.05MonetYrah.
01:33.36MonetI'm definitely seeing "It's an overblown Civ V mod" in some perceptions
01:33.48MonetSOme are even outright calling it that
01:34.04TekDroidYeah, seeing that a lot.
01:34.22TekDroidI guess that's the problem of them reusing the engine.
01:34.38HachimanOf course fans will hate it
01:34.41HachimanThere's no Gandhi
01:35.16Monet"I have tried this game and all I have to say is that im disappointed. Firstly nothing has been changed apart from sci-fi theme. Combat system, building, exploring and etc are same."
01:35.31MonetBuilding and exploring..yeah I guess
01:36.16Monethttp://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140913183628/civilization/images/5/58/Tech_web_%28CivBE%29.jpg but this is not the tech tree system I recall fro mprevious games
01:37.09TekDroidAlso I'm sure a lot of people are mad because it's not simply Alpha Centauri with better graphics.
01:38.52Monet"Civ V the addon standalone"
01:39.04MonetTHat's wht one metacritic user reviewer called it
01:39.12HachimanUmm
01:39.30Hachimanhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Monet47/A_Guide_to_Solid_Fiction I thought we were going to make this a community project
01:40.02MonetI can move it to a community project if peopel like any bits of the content so far
01:40.32HachimanI honestly have no words
01:41.08MonetAhh...
01:43.25HachimanNeedless to say I'm not happy
01:43.57MonetYou know what? I no longer care.
01:43.59Technodroidurm
01:44.02HachimanI'm not going to bother arguing though
01:44.32Technodroidwe already have a community project for that, it's the Fiction guidelines
01:44.50HachimanIf you want to act like an egocentric asshat then fine by me but just so you know you're not a miracle or some wiki success story
01:45.13AngrybirdsCan we please refrain from calling each other names without provocation?

01:45.58MonetIt alte for me anyway. If you're going to be like this then it's probably time for me to turn in for the night.
01:46.02TechnodroidI got a kick button right here, and you folks know I'm not afraid to use it
01:46.03Technodroid>:)
01:46.24HachimanI'll just shut my face
01:46.34HachimanIf you're happy with it then fine, good for you
01:46.49TechnodroidI am taking no sides, but it is kind of...my job to take no sides anyway
01:46.50Technodroidso eh
01:47.34Technodroidactually nvm I'm taking sides, it's a blog and like all blogs it must die
01:47.53Hachimanhur
01:47.54Technodroid</offtopicuselesshumor>
01:48.08HachimanBut seriously
01:48.34HachimanAm I the only who thinks that while it covers good topics, it's completely overrided by the fact it's written by a single user
01:48.41HachimanRather than the community
01:49.04AngrybirdsI don't see a problem with it. If Monet wants to give personal advice to others, why should we fault him for it?
01:49.20TechnodroidIt is easy to perceive the writing of this blog as egocentric and elitist
01:49.20AngrybirdsHe does say at the beginning that it should be taken as his personal opinion, not as hard fact.
01:49.40Technodroidbut I don't think we can/should stop him
01:50.07Technodroidand AB mostly covered what I had to say regarding that
01:50.45Technodroidso I'm still taking no sides
01:51.10HachimanIt would be like me making a blog or page or something dedicated to "How to Make Good Characters" and using only my own experiences rather than community input]
01:52.30Angrybirds*shrugs* I wouldn't fault you for that.
01:52.53TechnodroidI wouldn't care either way :P
01:53.18AngrybirdsThe fact that it's a blog pretty much automatically declares it as a specific's user's opinion, just like it would be your opinion in writing a blog about character development.
01:53.39HachimanUrgh I'm just gonna stop here, I'm finding it hard to give a shit but I'm just astounded at how some people can be so egocentric
01:54.26TechnodroidActually,  the fact that it's a blog automatically declares it needs to burn in the firey depths of the Xhodocto's Hell
01:54.31Technodroid>:)
01:55.02AngrybirdsI'm getting the impression that you might be -trying- to dislike it, at this point. I'm not sure, though.
01:55.02TechnodroidBut I would agree that community input regarding such things is desired
01:55.56HallowpediamanFrom my outside view, I can understand your sentiments Hachiman. Guideline neutrality based on community views is the best possible assistance one could provide in a wiki setting. However, as said above it seems to have been something based on their personal flavors, which can be helpful in its own way, which isn't necessarily bad, especially given the disclaimer at the top.
01:56.35TechnodroidI get where Hachi is coming from, making a guide to "solid fiction" tends to imply you declare yourself an expert in the field
01:57.16HachimanIt also implies that your aforementioned fiction is factually accepted by everyone as high quality
01:57.21HachimanWhen it's entirely subjective
01:57.35TechnodroidAnd that too
01:57.42HallowpediamanIndeed.
01:58.17TechnodroidI mean, Xho has some of the most revered fiction and he's never called himself an expert
01:58.27Technodroidthat said, I doubt Monet realised that
01:59.57AngrybirdsThat's a good point, which is why the guide might be "for those who think the DI is a good fiction." Monet doesn't hide the fact that he's taking his own fiction as an example of something that was done was done well. If someone disagrees with that, then they're free to disagree with the blog.
01:59.58TechnodroidI think he just thought of it one day and then he considered turning it into a blog without realising that it might seem arrogant
02:00.18AngrybirdsI personally still don't think it sounds arrogant.
02:00.46TechnodroidI can see why it would seem that way, I don't think it is
02:01.05Technodroidbut I only don't think that because I'm assuming good faith
02:01.28Angrybirds^
02:02.36Technodroidrandom thought,  it's my birthday in two days if it matters to anyone
02:02.38Technodroid:p
02:03.22Wormy_I knew people would call it egocentric the moment I saw the blog.  However, I don't think that is a very constructive take on things either.  Its not like Monet has closed the comments, it is a invitation for people to comment or diasgree constructively.  Monet is sharing his experiences, fine, its something we can all start perhapas to build a community project.  Regardless of whether its arrogant, nobody has yet to comment on t
02:04.04HallowpediamanI mean, who are you again Technodroid?
02:04.12TechnodroidI dunno
02:04.22Wormy_I also know if I made a similar blog nobody would dare say that.  And I really don't like this.  So I disagree on this one.
02:04.25Technodroidwho am I? :O
02:07.43Wormy_I was thinking posting my experiences in the comments, to add my own take on what he said.
02:08.29Wormy_It would be a good opportunity.  But then people may misread it so vocally what is the point
02:09.17AngrybirdsI would take that risk, if I were you. It has the potential to help new users in the long run.
02:11.01Wormy_Yeah, so what if it upsets one or two?

02:12.32AngrybirdsIt's unlikely, and even if it does, it can be remedied quickly. The potential gain outweighs the cost.
02:12.44Vincent20100Hey
02:12.56Wormy_I will post a comment tomorrow
02:13.32Wormy_In fact, if we all did similar things, it could go some way into rebuilding the fiction guidelines, which are terrible and new users saay they are terrible.
02:14.53Wormy_I know Jo hates blogs but they aren't the only oulet

12:19.03dromHello.
12:20.37dromWell. As the poster implies, rebellion.
12:21.26dromI'll ask Cyrannian if he has a better idea for it. Soon as he becomes available when I'm online.
12:38.21dromI imagine that egg-laying aliens would call fetuses "parasites".
12:39.06dromProvided that they have never seen one.
12:39.39MonetProbably. So I take it that would be from an uneducated standpoint?
12:40.11dromYep.
12:40.58dromAlso proven that they see those species reproducing via fetuses as "parasites parasiting each other".
12:43.10dromIf I can recall, Tekdroid found a quote about birthdays, how one see when people begins cutting the cake after singing from an uneducated/illogical standpoint.
12:43.20dromFrom Imgur.
12:47.10MonetPossibly.
12:47.41MonetMost egg laying beings till engage in the act of intercourse (not all but a lot, most reptiles for example).
12:47.59dromGotta make a jog tour soon, is it a good idea to swap water with milk?
12:49.33MonetNot sure
12:49.50MonetI think milk's still good for hydration.
12:50.12dromPeople say that it increases the fat consumption.
12:50.28Wormy_Milk also encourages the formation of phlegm
12:50.39Wormy_Which might dehydrate you maybe
12:51.18Wormy_I avoid cheese or too much dairy if I have cold or flu
12:51.55dromHm. I guess I'll take just water then. Since I haven't drinked alot this morning or last night.
12:53.06dromAlright a 33cl bottle of water for 2-3 km jog.
12:53.26HachimanWormy_: Are there any stories around with a plotline that is based around a normal/baseline/nearbaseline human being displaced in a society of radically-different posthumans?

12:56.08Wormy_Yeah drinking pure water after exercise can kill

13:13.31OluapWorkerohi
13:15.09Wormy_Hachi:  You know about Endless Space, right?
13:15.41HachimanYes I do
13:16.16Wormy_I didn't know Endless Legend was part of the same universe!  The devs have successfully merged sci-fi with fantasy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc2Xn1y7rk8
13:16.44Wormy_I'm quite excited by the Vaulters faction you can play them in both games
13:19.53Wormy_Basically in Legends, you can play as one of many posthuman factions (or aliens)
13:20.29Wormy_but they have reverted to a low tech life, but use Dust as magic as well as certain artifacts
13:20.34HachimanOh sweet
13:20.43MonetHuh
13:20.51MonetI hadn't realised that
13:20.56Wormy_I've always wanted to make a story/setting which is fantasy, but with the magic being ancient technology, and the world being a giant megastructure.
13:21.23MonetSo many games so little time these days
13:21.38Wormy_aye
13:22.11Wormy_I've only just learned today about the Disharmony expansion and Legends continuity
13:22.21Wormy_I think I must ply ES soon
13:22.25Wormy_again
13:22.28MonetI want to play Beyond Earth and Age of Wonders
13:23.51Wormy_more legend continuity hints https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7a74FezwzA
13:27.29Wormy_my voice box went all funny and sounded mechanical;
13:27.57Wormy_So that dream about the alien implant the other night might not have been one
13:29.25MonetActually the planet being a giant megastructure; suddenly that tutorial with a woman talking about her children and her cycles makes complete sense.
13:29.36Monetthat trailer*
13:32.53Wormy_It could well be, I was talking about my fiction concept though
13:33.21Wormy_I'm surprised Fantasy and Sci-Fi setting hasn't been merged like that very much
13:33.43MonetWell...
13:33.51MonetCould Chronicles of Riddick count?
13:33.59MonetWait
13:34.11MonetNo I see what you mean now. ANd I don't think so
13:34.12Wormy_Auriga seems to be a construction of the Endless
13:34.40MonetMost such speculative fiction i've seen seems to be "fantasy stuff i nspace"
13:34.55Wormy_Yeah, I mean more than art style or a war, but an actual setting which makes the coexisting lores make saense
13:35.26Wormy_There was a novel of which I've forgotten the name
13:35.51Wormy_Where half the planet is ruled by magic and mages, the other, a high technology civilisation with computers

14:02.27Wormy_hi
14:03.28TekDroiddrom (from about 2 hours ago): Actually  the cake thimg was about how Happy Birthday is like a stanic ritual.
14:03.37TekDroidHello
14:05.16Vincent20100All I see is ''Happy Birthday is a stanic ritual'' o.O
14:06.38TekDroidSomething about chanting in unison, fire andcutting something at the end. Don't know where the image would be, didn't save it.
14:09.20HachimanI'm surprised more races don't use the more traditional UFO structural design in their vessels and such, considering that such designs are perfect for housing warp drives
14:09.47HachimanIf I recall, warp drives are required to be ring-shaped or circular in order to work more efficiently
14:10.41Vincent20100Traditionnal UFO = the round shape?
14:10.46HachimanYeah
14:11.30Vincent20100Well, it's not really an original and aesthetically pleasing design
14:11.53Vincent20100I mean, it has been used so many time in comics that it's kinda too cliché now
14:13.11TekDroidOf course that shape is also for warp drives.
14:13.36TekDroidMight not be the same case for the hyperspatial we usually see.
14:14.15Vincent20100I started a new Victoria 2 game as the Ottomans
14:14.24Vincent20100Harder than you would think...
14:14.45HachimanWarp drives manipulate the physics of the native universe, hyperspace drives, as far as I know, require brief traversal of an outer universe to get around inside of this one
14:15.39Vincent20100Too sciency for me...
14:17.42Wormy_My Grox Mothership is saucer shaped
14:17.46Wormy_bbl
14:18.31Vincent20100Honestly, I prefer design over that
14:18.44Vincent20100After all, most of that is speculative
14:19.38HachimanI get rather tired of most of the ship designs here and I'm certain that saucer-like ships can be made visually appealing due to their uncommon nature for many factions and cultures in the fictionverse
14:29.43Vincent20100You know, that akward moment where you run out of inspiration
14:29.58Vincent20100but you still have to wrote 2 more pages for a work...
14:31.54dromGood thing that I'm on a break
14:32.11Vincent20100And you just stat to mess with the character size, the policy and the space between lines just to hope it will take more space on the page
14:35.15Vincent20100But it doesn't...
14:49.19TekDroidSo Thursday is the day all my EUIV saves break... :/

14:52.11Vincent20100TekDroid: That's why I play Victoria 2 for the moment
14:52.24TekDroidSame.
14:52.42Vincent20100How are you with Prussia?
14:53.20TekDroidAlright,  in wat with Austria/Uk which is relatively even still.
14:54.13Vincent20100Ottomans are realy weak
14:54.29Vincent20100They can look strong, but when you play with them, you realize are weak they are
14:54.48Vincent20100and it's a shame they don't get a CB to retake Egypt in one war
14:54.54TekDroidYeah, proved a useful distraction fir the Austrian troops though. :P
14:55.37Vincent20100Took three wars to retook Egypt
14:55.45Vincent20100Reclaimed Tunisia
14:55.52Vincent20100Fairly easily
14:56.13Vincent20100Now I'm fighting with Britain to slaughter Greece
14:56.44Vincent20100Took all of Arabia
14:57.50Vincent20100The more I look at it, the more I think I should attack Italy to take land and prevent Italy from forming
14:57.51TekDroidLol
14:58.21Vincent20100Spain too is quite weak
14:58.28TekDroidYou sound ready to reform those great ancient Islamic empires. XD
14:58.51AdmiralPandaThis is why I like Civilisation 5: I can do with money what everyone else tries to do with an army, with a much greater degree of success
14:58.51Vincent20100Stronger overall than Ottomans, but Ottomans are larger so they get more troops
14:58.55TekDroidhttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5b/Umayyad750ADloc.png
14:59.35TekDroidYou sound lile you're leading up to that. :P
14:59.48TekDroidOnly with Turkey
15:00.31Vincent20100Tek: You can actually restore the Byzantine Empire and Babylonian Empire
15:00.37Vincent20100Byzantine as Greece
15:00.50Vincent20100Babylon as Irak (released from Ottomans)
15:02.49TekDroidI know.
15:03.03TekDroidAlso you can make Jan Mayen. XD
15:04.00Vincent20100yah
15:04.05Vincent20100With Polar Bears
15:05.30TekDroidI really love some of the province names sometimes. Like at the start with "Texan Texas". XD
15:05.53Vincent20100My goal for the Ottomans will be to first retook all territory that was at least once in Ottomans' hands
15:06.02Vincent20100Yah
15:06.07TekDroidOr omce when I saw Russian British Columbia. XD
15:06.28Vincent20100Russian can be strong
15:06.53Vincent20100UK is strong to begin with, but in the long run, it gets weaker
15:07.13TekDroidActually in that game the UK got dismantled by the AI.
15:07.22Vincent20100UK strengh is it's sphere, which is good, but make it harder to expand
15:08.07Vincent20100Russia and France are a bit weaker than UK to begin with, but they can easily expand
15:08.28Vincent20100USA too
15:09.31Vincent20100UK isn't adapated to my gameplay
15:09.51Vincent20100One of the first thing I do is switch to dictatorship when possible
15:10.20Vincent20100either Proletarian dictatorship of Fascit dictatorship, if the communist party is pacifist or anti-military
15:10.44Vincent20100I preder Planned Economy that said
15:10.49Vincent20100*prefer
15:11.12Vincent20100But when you allow a Coup d'État to happen you lost your sphere
15:11.25Vincent20100So... As UK. this is suicide
15:11.45Vincent20100But communist UK as one of the sweetest names of the game
15:11.58Vincent20100''Commonwealth of Workers''
15:12.07TekDroidInteresting
15:12.36Vincent20100COmmonwealth of Workers and Soviet Union are the two best names in the game I would say ^^
15:13.21Vincent20100Things I can do with Russia is quite frightning ^^
