| 00:45.20 | Hachiman | I like how Zilla thinks that just because my text gets logged means that I care about the future reciprocations of what I say |
| 00:46.03 | Hachiman | "Having it recorded makes it where people have to play nice or keep their mouths shut." Implying that I, or anybody else, is obligated to 'play nice' |

| 01:03.13 | Wormy_ | Its not a case of having to, I think its more of a courtesy |
| 01:04.36 | Wormy_ | Like, I'd rather the wiki be put first above all else, and things decided there on their merits, and disruption kept on IRC from bad behaviour kept to the minimum. If we did in my view, the wiki would be more disciplined like it used to be |
| 01:04.54 | Wormy_ | But its up to community |
| 01:06.06 | Tek0516 | Hello Patriot |
| 01:06.22 | Wormy_ | But I still think it would be far more free to have the logs open to least registered users |
| 01:07.07 | Wormy_ | Free because its open and provides a window for criticism, and it gives users the choice to think whether what they say will have reciprocations. |
| 01:08.06 | Wormy_ | Most of the time on IRC is pretty good or quiet anyway |
| 01:08.14 | Patriot868 | Its usaully dead quiet on here |
| 01:08.31 | Tek0516 | Today was eventful. >.< |
| 01:08.55 | Patriot868 | What happend now? |

| 01:11.00 | DrodoEmpire | Hey Opel |
| 01:11.01 | DrodoEmpire | :D |
| 01:11.10 | OpelSpeedster | Hia, I responded to your transmission :) |
| 01:11.14 | DrodoEmpire | I'm Operation Marines, from the message wall |
| 01:11.16 | DrodoEmpire | Ah, great! |
| 01:11.20 | DrodoEmpire | I'll take a look |
| 01:12.36 | Wormy_ | Monet, Hachiman: So i just learned Rutland was a county (I thought it was just a lake). Its like my map of England has just expanded by a blip. Do you ever get that feeling when you learn of a new place? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutland |
| 01:15.00 | DrodoEmpire | Alright, I'll respond |
| 01:17.03 | DrodoEmpire | Also, would you want to do a collaberative fiction sometime Opel? This sort of tech exchange could be a good premise for one |
| 01:17.18 | Tek0516 | OpelSpeedster: So you own the Amphibibot Collective, right? |
| 01:17.21 | OpelSpeedster | Hm, that depends. How exactly would that work out? |
| 01:17.24 | OpelSpeedster | Tek0516: Yeah |
| 01:18.06 | DrodoEmpire | Well we'd need to discuss the premise with eachother, refine it, work out characters that'd be used for it, RP, that sort of thing |
| 01:18.14 | DrodoEmpire | Depends on what we want to do with it |
| 01:19.47 | OpelSpeedster | Hm, an idea that could work is that the APC tries to get the approval of the Coalition to colonize planets of the two neighbouring star systems using the Drodo's tech. |
| 01:20.02 | OpelSpeedster | Without letting the population know, of course |
| 01:20.23 | OpelSpeedster | They're already destructive enough with their tech, let alone one that they haven't ever heard of. |
| 01:21.07 | DrodoEmpire | I see |
| 01:22.37 | Wormy_ | I love how snob appears in the URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKqP-SnobQA |
| 01:22.43 | Wormy_ | *url |
| 01:22.44 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 01:23.04 | DrodoEmpire | Though that doesn't really involve the Drodo too much considering its an internal matter |
| 01:23.16 | OpelSpeedster | Hm, yeah. |
| 01:23.21 | DrodoEmpire | Perhaps that could be an event that happens soon after though |
| 01:23.39 | OpelSpeedster | Yup, that could work. |
| 01:23.55 | DrodoEmpire | Would the Drodo be asked for military assistance or something? |
| 01:24.33 | Tek0516 | I just want to confirm something then. So after the Lightning War the Farengeto Trade Coalition becomes the primary economic body in Katar. There's minimal political obligation with Trade Council membership, but lots of economic and technological benefits. Considering they're right next door to Farengeto, would you like to add the Amphibibots to it? |
| 01:24.45 | DrodoEmpire | I know you mentioned one group that has a distrust of aliens; perhaps they try and have the Drodo evicted through acts of violence or propaganda? |
| 01:24.57 | OpelSpeedster | Tek0516: Sure. |
| 01:25.00 | DrodoEmpire | Like killing a few Drodo workers or soldiers or something |
| 01:25.11 | OpelSpeedster | DrodoEmpire: Yeah, that might do it. Although they aren't rabid enough to kill. |
| 01:25.13 | DrodoEmpire | Which could be a flashpoint |
| 01:25.18 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
| 01:25.32 | OpelSpeedster | Kerbals are destructive, not murderers :b |
| 01:25.37 | Tek0516 | Alright, thanks for confirming. :) |
| 01:26.41 | DrodoEmpire | Well depending on how extreme the faction is they could be pushed to acts of terrorism. :P Most natural Humans also have a natural aversion to murdering one another, yet we still fight and kill |
| 01:26.59 | DrodoEmpire | That said if they aren't violent to begin with, the faction in question then yeah you're right |
| 01:27.43 | OpelSpeedster | They would probably start mistreating the Drodo, and then it could go downhill from there, in which they proceed to treat them like invaders. |
| 01:27.50 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
| 01:28.02 | DrodoEmpire | So a lot of pressure would be put on the government to break ties |
| 01:28.14 | OpelSpeedster | Pretty much. |
| 01:28.45 | DrodoEmpire | Alright, interesting already |
| 01:28.51 | OpelSpeedster | And if what happened with the Union of Ceriman Republics tells you anything, the Nihacimian government would be forced to get the Drodo out of there. |
| 01:29.29 | DrodoEmpire | Rigth |
| 01:29.31 | DrodoEmpire | *Right |
| 01:29.47 | OpelSpeedster | Fortunately for the Drodo, not many nations are exactly mistrustful of aliens; their neighbour Ussari is mostly neutral, and Cerima would welcome them with open arms. |
| 01:30.41 | OpelSpeedster | What they would have to worry about the most is the simple fact that Kerbals are destructive. |
| 01:30.55 | DrodoEmpire | What do you mean? |
| 01:31.07 | DrodoEmpire | Violent? Reckless? Clumsy? |
| 01:31.15 | OpelSpeedster | Reckless and clumsy, mostly. |
| 01:31.18 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
| 01:31.47 | OpelSpeedster | If you tell one to carry a cactus on their back, they would willingly obey. |
| 01:31.57 | DrodoEmpire | So accidents could potentially start controversies by accident |
| 01:31.59 | DrodoEmpire | lol |
| 01:32.09 | DrodoEmpire | Also, maybe we should take this to a different channel? |

| 02:31.03 | Patriot868 | Ok, thats really all I wanted to know, because thats the only place I have seen it mentioned. |
| 02:31.28 | Tek0516 | Actually I have no idea. XD |
| 02:31.34 | Wormy_ | I'm not sure |
| 02:31.49 | Wormy_ | Its old fiction that looks defunct |
| 02:32.02 | Tek0516 | Basically consider that whole thing a relic of old wiki science |
| 02:32.35 | Wormy_ | Tbh I do remember a big discussion about it, we concluded its both unlikely physically and would be economically unviable. |
| 02:33.02 | Tek0516 | I find that speed of light part very odd. |
| 02:33.21 | Wormy_ | Speaking of science, I'm making 3D map of this. I love watching Maya render each point http://www.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/images/2013/03/planck_cmb/12583930-4-eng-GB/Planck_CMB.jpg |

| 02:41.36 | Patriot868 | Nice to see you again |
| 02:42.14 | GD12 | Aye, I won't be very active fictionwise till around mid december |
| 02:42.21 | GD12 | So i'm an IRC phantom |
| 02:42.37 | GD12 | Cal Engineering sadly takes up time |
| 02:43.10 | Patriot868 | Thats ok, I just recently got back to writing. I had a two month dry spell |
| 02:43.42 | GD12 | ahh i see |
| 02:43.47 | Halopediaman | That's defeatist talk GD12. Simply remove time for trivial things like sleeping. |
| 02:43.47 | Tek0516 | I somehow manage fiction with first year Engineering. XD |
| 02:43.57 | DrodoEmpire | lul |
| 02:45.14 | Tek0516 | Currently I'm working on a map fir my human fiction. |
| 02:45.24 | GD12 | I've tried |
| 02:45.35 | DrodoEmpire | Well actually I believe I read somewhere that sleeping isn't a biological "must-have" in the same way that breathing or eating is; It just so happens that it helps ward off hallucinations, irritability, exhaustion, insanity, and death. :P |
| 02:45.56 | DrodoEmpire | So you can not sleep for long periods of time; It just isn't healthy |
| 02:46.31 | DrodoEmpire | As in, not sleep under your own volition without stuff like insomnia |
| 02:47.21 | GD12 | Also i've noticed that my ability to do deep thought is decreased dramatically when I stay up for long periods of time |
| 02:47.49 | GD12 | is Captain Obvious |
| 02:48.05 | GD12 | Tek0516 : You need to procrastinate more :) |
| 02:48.32 | DrodoEmpire | It increases for me, actually; I tend to not "filter" my thoughts as much when I'm very tired and my mind wanders a lot |
| 02:48.40 | Tek0516 | I've already written multiple labs the day of. I'm the king of procrastination. XD |
| 02:48.45 | DrodoEmpire | That said my deep thoughts aren't exactly brilliant ones. XD |
| 02:49.23 | GD12 | My thoughts in the shower can be quite profound |
| 02:49.38 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
| 02:49.41 | Tek0516 | I haven't had a good sleep since DST kicked in. Maybe that's why I've been able to do fiction this week. XD |
| 02:49.46 | DrodoEmpire | I've heard that happens to a lot of people. :P |
| 02:49.49 | GD12 | Whats DST? |
| 02:49.50 | DrodoEmpire | Shower-ideas that is |

| 02:55.24 | Halopediaman | Neat |
| 02:55.36 | GD12 | I see there is some kind of discussion about the logs? |
| 02:55.41 | GD12 | is reading through it |
| 02:56.26 | Wormy_ | Halopedia: I'm making it because I don't think the proportions are realistically presented on 2D maps |
| 02:56.44 | Wormy_ | For empire territory that is. |
| 02:57.10 | Wormy_ | And it could make for some nice perspective angles |
| 02:57.23 | Wormy_ | and show smaller empires, etc. |
| 02:58.02 | Wormy_ | I tell you what, I'll upload my progress so far |
| 03:00.54 | Halopediaman | Did I just persuade you to show off your progress in a conversation that didn't happen? Cause I mean, I was totally thinking about asking. |
| 03:01.01 | Halopediaman | I just didn't know I had that kind of power. |
| 03:02.45 | Halopediaman | The wiki has a whole subsection for maps? My lord in heavens this is my new favorite wiki |

| 03:38.48 | Monet | Pretty well, lost a few dudes. |
| 03:38.52 | Monet | These are no barbarians |
| 03:39.04 | Knight_Alien | True |
| 03:39.39 | Monet | My goal was twofold: Make the nearby juingle safe(r) and recover a downed sattellite during the arrival phase |
| 03:40.39 | Monet | I recovered the satellite, clared out a good number of aliens, and they did establish a couple of nests where I first cleared them but I didn't mind too much |
| 03:40.49 | Monet | The jungle is largely their turf |
| 03:41.31 | Monet | ALso I pissed off the Indian and Sino-Japanese factions for shooting the bugs |
| 03:43.03 | Monet | The thing is my colony landed with a bug-infested jungle of many kilometres only a few kilometres away. |
| 03:43.21 | Monet | I had to stick to the coasts in that part of the world for most of the game |
| 03:44.15 | Monet | Those bugs got to eat hundreds of MG and asault rifle rounds. It was really satisfying. |
| 03:45.28 | Monet | Because that jungle was bug-central |
| 03:49.06 | Monet | I did my best to avoid what Starship Troopers did |

| 08:51.24 | Liquid_Ink | The emperor realises it's a lie, and gives is own story on what he thinks really happened. This is blue. |
| 08:51.56 | Liquid_Ink | After being revealed as an assassin, the assassin tells to the truth on what happened. This is white. |

| 19:53.19 | Knight_Alien | Blizzard: We just save dem Dollarz. |

| 19:56.04 | Knight_Alien | I played a free trial and hated the gameplay overall then It was like Give dem Dollarz or your level 5 character gets pwned. |
| 19:56.22 | Imperios | WoW is basically undead now |
| 19:57.03 | Imperios | It has lived far beyond the normal lifespan of a game while remaining profitable |
| 19:57.40 | Imperios | Which is not necessaril a good thing |

| 20:41.48 | Vincent20100 | Either Purity or Supremacy |
| 20:42.11 | Tek0516 | I'm sure the non-purity ones look increasingly less baseline-human. |
| 20:42.44 | Monet | Hmm |
| 20:42.59 | drom | Supremacy for military |
| 20:43.22 | drom | Harmory is for getting the native naturelife on your wide and wreck humans. |
| 20:43.41 | drom | Purity, is about, turn the planet to a new Earth |
| 20:43.45 | drom | With force. |
| 20:43.47 | Monet | One thing that draws me to Harmony is the organic architecture and biotechnology. |
| 20:44.39 | Vincent20100 | But I'm not sure wich one I personally adhere to |
| 20:44.59 | Vincent20100 | I love the idea of supremacy of force and future |
| 20:45.01 | Tek0516 | Ideologically I'd be Supremacy |
| 20:45.03 | Monet | You can have traits from all three if you want |
| 20:45.22 | Monet | SUpremacy is more about transhumanism than military might |
| 20:45.23 | drom | I'd be both Harmory and Supremacy. |
| 20:45.25 | Vincent20100 | ANd purity, because Supremacy kinda afraid me that huamn become pure machines |
| 20:46.02 | Monet | All three factions have a military angle, but that's because the planet starts as a death world |
| 20:46.25 | Vincent20100 | What I don't like of purity is nthat their stuff look rather outdated |
| 20:47.03 | drom | It's because they are human-centric and do everything to turn the new planet to a new Earth. |
| 20:47.05 | Monet | That's kinda the point. |
| 20:47.05 | Tek0516 | I think that's the point. |
| 20:47.14 | Vincent20100 | What are Purity and Supremacy ultimate units? |
| 20:47.30 | drom | Supremacy was a giant robot? |
| 20:47.38 | Vincent20100 | Harmony is the Xeno Titan |
| 20:47.51 | Monet | I think both Sup and Pure get giant robots. |
| 20:50.08 | drom | The purity supreme is a giant hovership |
| 20:50.34 | Monet | Oh yeah they get flying fortresses |
| 20:51.06 | drom | Basically a giant naval battleship, with the ability to pass over non-ocean terrain. |
| 20:52.14 | drom | The supermacy is a 4-legged giant robot. Nuff said. |

| 21:39.10 | Monet | The eight "sponsors" in the game are: An american megacorp, a new version of the EU, a united Africa, a united Brazil, united Oceania, a Pan-asian union, an Indian cult, a federation of Russian, Ugric and Slavic nations. |
| 21:40.24 | ImpyDroid | >Russian and Slavic |
| 21:40.27 | Halopediaman | "A united Brazil" he says. |
| 21:40.27 | Monet | Although presumably once you get to your planet you can probably tell your sponsor to promptly sod off because you're light years away fro mEarth. |
| 21:40.29 | ImpyDroid | Isn't that redundant |
| 21:40.40 | ImpyDroid | Or do you mean people living in Russia |
| 21:40.41 | Monet | ImpyDroid: Probably |
| 21:40.48 | Monet | Russians and Eastern Uropeans |
| 21:41.02 | ImpyDroid | Heh |
| 21:41.39 | drom | According to the wiki. That empire is compensated by Russia and balkan (eurasia) nations. Including a few deseperate ones. |

| 21:50.36 | TekDroid | One news station here was spewing some "Second Cold War" stuff today |
| 21:50.42 | Halopediaman | ImpyDroid,more technically yes. |
| 21:50.51 | ImpyDroid | You will scream Kurwa once I'm done with you |
| 21:50.57 | Halopediaman | Yahoo news has an article titled "WW3" every other day. |
| 21:50.58 | ImpyDroid | Halopediaman: Are you Polish (as in, living in Poland) or just of Polish descent? |
| 21:51.01 | drom | He's Ruski-Korean. He will beat you in every single gerne. |
| 21:51.09 | Halopediaman | Polish descent. |
| 21:51.11 | Monet | ImpyDroid: Russian or Polish. I'm not sure |
| 21:51.21 | ImpyDroid | Oh right |
| 21:51.26 | Halopediaman | Polish last name, made up Polish pride. |
| 21:51.38 | ImpyDroid | I thought we were talking about citizenship, not ancestry |
| 21:51.40 | Halopediaman | But I'm American at the end of the day. |
| 21:51.44 | ImpyDroid | In that case I am Korean |
| 21:51.56 | drom | I find it funny how the "Tak" also means as "no" in Indonesian. |
| 21:52.04 | Monet | From my experiences |
| 21:52.23 | ImpyDroid | drom: That's why their flags are reversed |
| 21:52.26 | Halopediaman | Do you identify more with the Northern or Southern brand ImpyDroid? :P |
| 21:52.30 | drom | Poland's and Indonesia's flags even makes it funnier. |
| 21:52.49 | ImpyDroid | Halopediaman: Hard to tell |
| 21:53.04 | TekDroid | I'm Canadian with my family predominantly originating from England. (With part from Holland) |
| 21:53.09 | drom | Asians do look similar. |
| 21:53.16 | drom | sneaks away* |
| 21:53.17 | Halopediaman | I mean politically, not ethnically (pretty sure there isn't a difference). |
| 21:53.31 | Halopediaman | How vanilla TekDroid. |
| 21:53.38 | ImpyDroid | My ancrstors left Korea before the split and I have both North and South Korean blood |
| 21:54.03 | drom | And you have Soviet blood too. |
| 21:54.09 | Halopediaman | Your non-answer is noted. |
| 21:54.13 | ImpyDroid | I think I have slightly more North Korean ancestry considering it is adjacent with Russia |
| 21:54.25 | ImpyDroid | But politically I prefer the South obviously hur |
| 21:54.29 | Monet | The leader languages: ARC = English (with some gratuitous Spanish), Africa = English, Polystrailia = English, Slavic Fed = Russian/Polish, India = Indian, Brazilia = Spanish, Pan-Asian = Chinese |
| 21:54.37 | Halopediaman | I can already see the picture of lil' Kim on your wall. |
| 21:55.06 | TekDroid | Huh. ARC speaking some Spanish has implications there. |
| 21:55.07 | ImpyDroid | Halopediaman: arr hair our grorious reader |
| 21:55.17 | Halopediaman | Brazilia speaks Spanish? How horrifying. |
| 21:55.24 | drom | TekDroid: Illegal aliens. |
| 21:55.25 | ImpyDroid | drom: Can't tell Scandinavians apart either >:3 |
| 21:55.32 | Monet | TekDroid: The lady greeted me with "hola" before speaking ENglish |
| 21:55.46 | ImpyDroid | Monet: Hmmmm |
| 21:55.48 | TekDroid | If Brazilia speaks Spanish you can draw further implications since Brazil is Portuguese. |
| 21:55.55 | Halopediaman | North American Union ftw. |
| 21:55.59 | ImpyDroid | If Americans have a slightly Spanish flair |
| 21:56.05 | Halopediaman | Exactly TekDroid. |
| 21:56.17 | ImpyDroid | Why doesn't the European leader use Arabic or Turkish words? |
| 21:56.28 | Monet | According to her bio, ARC's CEO is half-Mexican of Texan origin. |
| 21:56.31 | Halopediaman | Bahha |
| 21:56.31 | TekDroid | Definitely implies continental union for the Americas. |
| 21:56.47 | ImpyDroid | Actually wait do we even have Western Europe in that game |
| 21:56.55 | Monet | Franco-Iberia |
| 21:56.58 | drom | ImpyDroid: Norwegians should have more curly hair. While finns are bald/stubble-heads. |
| 21:57.17 | Halopediaman | I like how Franco-Iberia somehow is supposed to be representative of the EU. |
| 21:57.51 | drom | Danish should look like stoners, or your average alcoholic. |
| 21:57.55 | TekDroid | What languages do Franco-Iberia use? The obvious two or three? |
| 21:57.56 | Halopediaman | I'm sure the Germanic states, British Isles, and Italia would have some strong words for that. |
| 21:58.00 | ImpyDroid | ...Right |
| 21:58.17 | ImpyDroid | Any Arabic or African influences in the faction then? |
| 21:58.18 | Monet | Halopediaman: i Nthe bio, after the EU collapsed, Franco-Iberia formed shortly after and became a model for a new Europe, with disenfranchised nations like Italy and a good portion of Africa joining its utopian union. |
| 21:58.28 | TekDroid | Interesting |
| 21:58.41 | Monet | I read something about a restoration of ROme by Franco-Iberia |
| 21:58.56 | TekDroid | Lol |
| 21:59.02 | Monet | Although as far as I can tell their leader is -definitely- French. |
| 21:59.08 | Halopediaman | avoids making a quip about Iberians being a model for new Europe |
| 21:59.13 | TekDroid | AB would like that. :P |
| 21:59.36 | Monet | Whether or not she speaks French or English idk because i've been exclusively playing Franco-Iberia |
| 21:59.40 | TekDroid | Actually Franco-Iberian sounds more Napoleanic all things considered. |
| 21:59.47 | Halopediaman | So what about Germany/British Isles/Scandinavia? They go with the Slavic Union? |
| 22:00.12 | Monet | Halopediaman: I think Scandinavia does, possibly Germany, I have no idea what BRitain did |
| 22:00.49 | TekDroid | Is it imploed that there are still other minor states? |
| 22:00.49 | Halopediaman | Given the total lack of mention to the Isle states, I'm inclinded to believe the UK and Ireland were quarantined. |
| 22:00.54 | Halopediaman | implied* |
| 22:01.01 | ImpyDroid | Nobody likes Brits hur |
| 22:01.02 | drom | Probably. |
| 22:01.11 | Halopediaman | Oh, you said implied TekDroid, though I was correct myself. |
| 22:01.12 | TekDroid | I agree, quarantined or maybe ded. |
| 22:01.15 | drom | ImpyDroid: Neither me. |

| 22:01.34 | Halopediaman | Lordy I'm off my ball. |
| 22:01.41 | TekDroid | Lol |
| 22:01.41 | drom | Britain is just a nation full of selfish patriots who think they are the most relevant people in the world. |
| 22:02.04 | TekDroid | Drom: I thought that was America. :P |
| 22:02.20 | Halopediaman | America ARE the most relevant people in the world. |
| 22:02.20 | Monet | Apparently some groups who were not prosperous enough to launch their own missions cooperated with the sponsors, in-universe being the source of the station tile improvement that replaces the city state. |
| 22:02.24 | drom | TekDroid: Fuck them, but they are 2nd on my list. |
| 22:02.37 | ImpyDroid | Halopediaman: So, you're Polish-American? Where exactly do you live? |
| 22:02.46 | ImpyDroid | I meam what state |
| 22:02.46 | Halopediaman | Minnesota. |
| 22:03.01 | Halopediaman | Clearly you want my address to come and fight me brah |

| 22:05.00 | TekDroid | Lol |
| 22:05.27 | drom | I both dislike and love Russia. |
| 22:05.55 | ImpyDroid | That's what everyone feels towards us |
| 22:05.58 | TekDroid | Their mechanized warfare has already reached Terminators. They're Putin's guards. :P |
| 22:06.07 | ImpyDroid | Well except Muhrica |
| 22:06.13 | Monet | Impydroid: I thought he was Russian because when you fist meet Kozlov his first word is "soyuz", which according ot the text box next to him, is him addresisng you as "friend" |
| 22:06.18 | drom | What makes me to dislike them is their corrupted and zero-tolerance government. |
| 22:06.34 | TekDroid | Yeah. |
| 22:06.47 | Halopediaman | ImpyDroid, I had greater respect for Russia, until this Ukraine business. And not because they're doing it, all's fair in love and war |
| 22:07.06 | ImpyDroid | Monet: "Soyuz" means "alliance" or "union", so he was probably saying "soyuznik", which means "ally" |
| 22:07.13 | drom | But what makes me to love them is their endurance, the "tsar" programme and their multimedia (dashcams doe). |
| 22:07.14 | ImpyDroid | Halopediaman: What is with it? |
| 22:07.15 | Halopediaman | Just disappointed that they're all up in there while telling the US to respect Syria's territorial integrety. |
| 22:07.21 | Monet | soyuznik that was it I think |
| 22:07.22 | ImpyDroid | Well |
| 22:07.38 | ImpyDroid | From our point of view you are the same |
| 22:07.45 | drom | Their language is interesting too. |
| 22:07.50 | Monet | It definitely wasn't "comdrade" |

| 22:08.33 | ImpyDroid | That pretty much describes both of us |
| 22:08.39 | ImpyDroid | So we're the same are we not? |
| 22:08.48 | Halopediaman | I'd say so. |

| 22:09.44 | Halopediaman | My issue is that I thought Russia was going to be different about it. Stop trying to claim the moral high ground like lolNATO and just go "because we can" |
| 22:09.52 | TekDroid | Meanwhile the rest of the world wishes it's stop already |
| 22:10.06 | Halopediaman | The rest of the world can suck it up. :P |

| 22:10.37 | Halopediaman | That's what I said. |

| 22:40.34 | TekDroid | There's a neat XKCD image showing exoplanets. |
| 22:41.13 | TekDroid | Monet: http://xkcd.com/1298/ |
| 22:41.14 | Monet | We went form discovering up to 100 planets/year to discovering over 800 this year |
| 22:41.58 | Monet | That's a lot of planets |
| 22:42.59 | drom | I find it funny how that Earth is a punny little dot. |

| 22:53.56 | TekDroid | Actually Franco-Iberia or Brazilia probably. |
| 22:53.56 | Monet | I like Franco_iberia |
| 22:54.35 | TekDroid | Brazilia at least it part because of my human fic on the wiki. :P |
| 22:55.10 | Liquid_Ink | Damn the lack of Turkey! |
| 22:56.41 | TekDroid | I always get a chuckle if a lingua-franca is French. :P |
| 22:56.44 | Monet | Turkish influence has tanked this past 100 years |
| 22:56.52 | TekDroid | ^ |
| 22:57.18 | TekDroid | Once the Ottomans fell apart definitely. |

| 22:57.43 | TekDroid | Lol, saw that gallery. |
| 22:59.12 | drom | It pleased my patriotic glands. But however. To be honest... some of the facts are outdated. |

| 23:07.15 | Monet | Right now I'm the only one who has Beyond Earth. So I'm exited for multiplayer |
| 23:07.30 | Tek0516 | I definitely want to get it. |
| 23:08.17 | Tek0516 | checks his bank account. >.> |
| 23:08.45 | Tek0516 | Steam reviews for it are... wow. |
| 23:09.16 | Tek0516 | Of the first page reviews only one are positive |
| 23:09.38 | Tek0516 | Meanwhile Metacritic say 81/100. O.o |
| 23:10.17 | Monet | Most of the user reviews appear to bemoan that it's not holly-shit-completely-new-ntothing-we-have-seen-before |
| 23:10.37 | Tek0516 | Yeah. |
| 23:11.02 | Tek0516 | Meanwhile expectations were Alpha Centauri on the Civ V engine. |

| 23:12.23 | Wormy_ | Rest in Pieces http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/05/ie6-funeral/ |
| 23:12.25 | Wormy_ | Hi |
| 23:13.31 | Monet | "While this review is negative, Civ:BE has the potential to receive a positive depending on the update and expansion love it gets. Even so, in its current state Civ:BE is definitely playable and somewhat enjoyable, it's just Alpha Centuri and the Civilization series have set the expectations of many players pretty high." |
| 23:13.48 | Monet | I think this is the main problem, yeah. |
| 23:14.13 | Monet | I kind-of like the customisation |
| 23:15.26 | Monet | The ten cultural branches of Civ V have been replaced with four "virtue" schools, each one with fifteen perks. |
| 23:16.06 | Tek0516 | People are also expecting the same level as Civ V after all those years of updates and DLC. |
| 23:18.16 | Monet | Well, if its a plus there are more positively-rated user reviews on Steam than negative ones |
| 23:18.31 | Tek0516 | There areM |
| 23:18.33 | Tek0516 | *? |
| 23:19.10 | Monet | 2709 positive compared to 1792 negative |
| 23:19.29 | Tek0516 | That's good. |
| 23:22.33 | Monet | "The Civilization community is toxic. Why? I honestly don't know. By any objective measure, the series is wildly popular. Yet the stunning negativity surrounding Civilization V ("when I first played Vanilla I threw up in my mouth") has transferred itself to Beyond Earth, and the results aren't pretty." |
| 23:23.36 | Tek0516 | I may actually get Beyond Earth later. |
| 23:25.12 | Tek0516 | I say leter because I gtg soon. |
| 23:27.13 | Monet | Fair enough |
| 23:27.40 | Monet | I noticed AngryJoke hated it and TotalBiscuit called it a cautious purchase. |
| 23:28.15 | Monet | Perhaps another reason is the apparently "generic" feel people talk about |
| 23:29.47 | Monet | In previous civ games, nations like France, Korea, China and the US were distinct, they had character. These factions in Beyond Earth are perhaps so flexible that they're intentionally designed ot be moulded around the players, |
| 23:30.06 | Monet | Create *your* vision for mankind. It's only a theory though |
| 23:30.12 | Tek0516 | Exactly. |
| 23:30.33 | Monet | PLus "sponsors" rather than "factions" or "nations" |
| 23:31.50 | Monet | Once you are on an isolated planet light years form Earth, with no hope of seeing friends, family or former coworkers ever again...how much does said nation affect your society's development once you've landed? |
| 23:32.36 | Monet | Next to none really. They built your ship, hired your colonists and sent you supplies but that's all they really do from Earth. |
| 23:33.12 | Monet | And I think the flavour text for the three affinity victories make it sound like the decision may or may not have been made upon arrival |
| 23:33.53 | Tek0516 | You have your birth culture but decades or centuries of isolation are what creates the new society |
| 23:34.08 | Monet | And centuries is what you'll get |
| 23:34.58 | Monet | I have two games going that have planetfall in the 2600s. But the game clock is close to 2900 for both. Though I have been playing for a few hundred turns |
| 23:36.08 | Tek0516 | Three centuries is enough to be unrecognizable. |
| 23:36.42 | Tek0516 | And even 2014-2600 should be massive differences. |
| 23:37.23 | Monet | The game is never really clear when your ship was launched. |
| 23:37.41 | Monet | Anything between 50-250 years I guess. |
| 23:37.53 | Tek0516 | True, forgot about that. |
| 23:38.54 | Monet | But that won't factor into the gap of the colonists' journey - the intro shows that everyone on these seeding ships is in cryonic suspension. |
| 23:39.36 | Monet | Which jsut made me realise one of the reasons -why- it was said i nthe intro these peopel would never see friends or family ever again. |
| 23:40.01 | Tek0516 | Right |
| 23:40.21 | Monet | WHich is that that is long enough for everyone's friends and family to have died from old age |
| 23:41.20 | Monet | So I guess these earthbound sponsors are on a stab-in-the-dark mission because whatever president, premier, chancellor, CEO or whatever is in charge at launch might be dead by the time word returns |
| 23:41.59 | Tek0516 | Probably would be. |
| 23:43.35 | Monet | Which probably adds credance as to why there's no predeterminate victory based on the sponsor you choose - every person who you made promises to back home will be dead by the time you reestablish contact |
| 23:44.18 | Monet | THe main objective is "find humanity a new home" |
| 23:44.35 | Monet | Nothing about what to do with that home once you land |
| 23:44.41 | Tek0516 | Yep, in faction its entirety plausible when you reestablish contact that your nation doesn't exist. |
| 23:44.49 | Tek0516 | *in fact |
| 23:45.05 | Monet | Very likely |

| 23:45.53 | Monet | In fact one of the victory goals is "emancipation", which involves a supremacy faction sending 1000 points worth of troops though a gate to Earth to spread its ideology |
| 23:46.32 | Tek0516 | For all we know those are already semi-stable post-apocalyptic states. |
| 23:47.00 | Monet | Its entirely possible that a supremacy faction by the end game builds the infrastructure and troops needed to *Invade and take over the Earth* |
| 23:47.35 | Monet | Apparently Franco-Iberia is quite utopian by the time of The Seeding. |
| 23:47.36 | Tek0516 | Yeah, obviously not the most welcome planet anymore. |
| 23:48.21 | Tek0516 | The advertising videos make reference to the final days of Earth during the departure. |
| 23:49.40 | Monet | And the Harmony faction's goal path involves researching and combining the Alien to the point where they can create an organism to merge the consciousness of humanity with the latent sapient intelligence of the planet...and completely forget about poor old Earth. |
| 23:49.49 | Monet | alien genome* |
| 23:50.50 | Monet | I'm not kidding; wheras the Supremacy and Purity victory goals' first task is to build sattelites capable of FTL communication with Earth, a harmony civ can not bother at all. |
| 23:51.24 | Tek0516 | *FTL Transportation |
| 23:51.54 | Monet | That comes later. |
| 23:51.59 | Tek0516 | Ah. |
| 23:52.11 | Tek0516 | I'm just going off trailers here. XD |
| 23:52.28 | Tek0516 | There's also the alien cobtact one too, isn't there? |
