02:01.47 | Tybusen | I'm guessing this is EUIV or something |
02:01.52 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah. XD |
02:01.55 | DrodoEmpire | Very fun game |
02:02.05 | Tybusen | I was actually playing a Civ V game as the Aztecs yesterday |
02:02.36 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
02:02.52 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah I don't play Civ V very much anymore. :/ I used to but now I prefer EUIV |
02:03.01 | Hachiman | Hm I wonder how a functioning, independent society of vampirelike posthumans would function |
02:03.14 | Tybusen | I thought I was doing fine until the Iroquois started their usual city-spamming and Siam started going on a conquering spree on Songhai and Russia |
02:03.16 | DrodoEmpire | Good question... |
02:04.09 | Tybusen | If there's one thing that I can take pride in from that game though, it's that I reduced Greece to a rump state and wiped that smug grin off of Alexander's face |
02:05.01 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
02:05.34 | DrodoEmpire | I tried a campaign as Ming Dynasty China on EUIV once. Didn't turn out well. :P |
02:05.47 | Tybusen | China is pretty decent in Civ V actually |
02:06.17 | Tybusen | Chu-Ko-Nus are amazing |
02:06.36 | Monet | Machinegun crossbows |
02:06.59 | Monet | Because why not? |
02:07.05 | Tybusen | The best part is when you can upgrade your machinegun crossbows into actual machine guns |
02:07.50 | Tybusen | Suddenly you have these very powerful ranged units that can shoot you twice in one turn |
02:07.53 | DrodoEmpire | Basically my whole strategy hinged on me getting colonies in West Africa ASAP so when the Europeans establish colonies adjacent to mine, I can begin westernizing which gets rid of all of the really nasty and crippling debuffs Ming gets (like halved tax income, shitty army morale, etc. to simulate the fact that it was an overstretched, corrupt bloating mess of a state on the decline) and makes having the some 170 provinces you |

06:24.35 | TekDroid | AdmiralPanda: So I was playing a game of Victoria 2 as Australia. Immigration and birth rates was so high the population doubled in 3 years. XD |
06:24.56 | AdmiralPanda | That would be what we call the first invasion :P |
06:25.46 | TekDroid | Also by unfortunate coincidence in this game their independence day is September 11th. XD |
06:26.01 | AdmiralPanda | we have an independence day? This is new to me |
06:32.55 | TekDroid | Though its population is only one million and most of the interior in unowned. Also based on the number of Jewish immigrants I think they founded a new Israel in the Australian desert. XD |
06:33.21 | AdmiralPanda | There's a reason most of the interior is unowned, namely it's uninhabitable XD |
06:33.58 | AdmiralPanda | what we really need is those tattooine or however you spell the place moisture converters |
06:35.29 | TekDroid | lol |
06:36.21 | AdmiralPanda | best thing ever to come out of a let's play |
06:36.36 | AdmiralPanda | "So we put the AI on hard, not really feeling the hardness in hereâ¦. wait⦠that could have been phrased better" |
06:38.07 | TekDroid | O.o |
06:38.51 | TekDroid | And also lol, apparently I started my Australia Vicky2 game on Australia day. |
06:39.00 | AdmiralPanda | how very patriotic |
06:39.51 | TekDroid | I didn't even know. :P |
06:40.26 | AdmiralPanda | so there's a rather interesting new strategy game that just came out called Grey Goo, I say interesting because it seems to be slower paced, and more macro oriented rather than the micro-heavy focus of the day |
06:41.35 | AdmiralPanda | three factions; ultra-defensive humans, humanoid aliens with flexible tactics, and highly mobile and offensive grey goo |
06:42.38 | AdmiralPanda | gameplay looks quite solid, though there doesn't seem to be much unit diversity |
06:48.51 | TekDroid | Interesting. |
06:49.18 | TekDroid | Though lower diversity does mean more focus on tactics. |
06:49.25 | AdmiralPanda | what's really interesting though is the upgrade system |
06:50.00 | AdmiralPanda | instead of Starcraft's straight up +whatever system, you have passive abilities that for one unit in each unit type (so infantry, mech, tank, flier, whatever) that drastically changes the way the unit operates |
06:50.51 | TekDroid | Interesting |
06:50.52 | AdmiralPanda | for example, the Beta (which are the versatile aliens) have a unit called the Predator that has four heavy cannons, its upgrade makes it fire each cannon individually instead of together, changing it from a dedicated anti-heavy unit to anti-swarm |
06:51.37 | TekDroid | Interesting |
06:53.00 | AdmiralPanda | and naturally, almost every attack the goo have turns defeated units into more goo |
06:54.28 | AdmiralPanda | since the goo can spawn units instantly when they have the resources, if there's a mother goo in the battle they have almost unlimited resources as long as they can keep killing your units |
06:57.33 | TekDroid | odere. |
07:41.46 | Technobliterator | Charles_Murray, what for? |
07:42.06 | Technobliterator | I believe it was removed to save space |

10:33.51 | Ardoku | So what's up? |
10:35.49 | AdmiralPanda | contemplating if I can be bothered making a fiction centred on the theme of transhumanism |
10:56.52 | AdmiralPanda | Ghelae: I need to access your cogitator banks for a moment |
10:57.00 | Ghelae | Okay. |
10:57.37 | AdmiralPanda | I'm working on an idea for a neutral antagonist entity for said transhumanism fiction, essentially a cross between the grey goo outcome and the Geth, namely that the more goo there is, the more intelligent it becomes |
10:57.56 | AdmiralPanda | what do you think about the viability of that idea? |
11:00.00 | Ghelae | Seems reasonable. If each bit of goo is capable of computation, then the more goo available = faster computation possible. |
11:02.48 | AdmiralPanda | That's the idea; that each individual unit's basic programming is to create more goo to work towards computational units, then once you have enough computation power they reach a sort of critical mass that develops into a basic AI, developing on from there |
11:04.47 | Ghelae | If by "intelligence" you also mean things like logical thinking instead of raw computational power, that should also work: when there isn't much goo it has limited processing ability, so in order to achieve a rapid response, it may neglect some computation-heavy reasoning methods in favour of quick heuristics. |
11:05.12 | Ghelae | Which is basically how the human brain often works too. |
11:05.34 | AdmiralPanda | ^ prettymuch, early on it focuses purely on rapid resource acquisition, higher thinking only occurs at a certain development stage |
11:29.36 | Ardoku | that is wicked cool! |

16:57.36 | odell | I shouldn't lay on my side while surfing on a laptop. |
16:59.51 | PandaMechanicus | Sion in league had a similar fate, he was once a great Noxian general who, when finally slain, was resurrected through necromancy but lost his identity and personality in the process |

17:03.05 | PandaMechanicus | so yeah I'm imagining a half-orc barbarian raised by orcs early on then living amongst humans, whose orcish upbringing instilled a love of battle in him, but experiences with humans treating him like a monster but celebrating him when his combat prowess was actually useful has made him resentful of it |

17:26.25 | OluapWorker | Sable Smeever - funi lookin snak u is |
17:26.43 | Xho | Abyssus Goblin - u wot |
17:27.20 | Xho | The reasons behind the Shiarchon having those two races is not only for the military power but a constructive work force |
17:27.42 | Xho | They're dim-witted and therefore are only really any good for following orders |
17:28.17 | Xho | The Shiarchon don't have to come up with any complicated negotiation apart from food unlike with their humans which would be money and many other things |
17:29.04 | OluapWorker | Shiarchon negotiating at all is surprising enough |
17:29.27 | Xho | They're fairly liberal with negotiations in terms of labour |
17:29.42 | Xho | They don't like employing humans because it tends to work out in the humans' favour rather than the Shiarchon's |
17:30.22 | Xho | The Shiarchon fear-factor works well for the Shiarchon when it comes to negotiating with unintelligent races |
17:30.57 | Xho | A Praetor could scare them into working rather than having to watch them all the time like they would with humans |

17:33.57 | Xho | At the end of the day though the Shiarchon could easily force humans to work for them since humans could never amass a force strong enough to deal with the Shiarchon anyway, the Shiarchon don't really want to have a civil war on their hands |

18:20.26 | Xho | Their curse renders them unable to drink anything other blood and eat nothing other than meat |
18:20.52 | PandaMechanicus | could be worse |
18:20.54 | PandaMechanicus | bacon is meat |
18:20.56 | Xho | Which is kind of a dick move since the Shiarchon have no blood and have no proper flesh on their bodies |

22:08.16 | Xho | There's been an earthquake in Winchester |
22:08.20 | Xho | Magnitude - 2.9 |
22:08.24 | Xho | Positively catastrophic |
22:09.37 | Xho | Going back to the UDB |
22:09.52 | Xho | The main reason it lost popularity is because there's not enough users who did use it at the time that use it now |
22:09.57 | Hachiman | Geezush |
22:10.42 | Hachiman | Also I just learned harlequin-type ichthyosis exists |
22:11.03 | Xho | takes a look |
22:11.06 | Xho | I wish I didn't |
22:11.24 | Xho | I'm not creeped out much but now that's something I wish I didn't see |
22:13.39 | Hachiman | Second continent of Koldenwelt needs to be used some more methinks |
22:13.58 | Xho | It's mostly just my stuff on htere |
22:13.59 | Xho | So yes |
22:15.29 | OluapPlayer | The second continent is still missing a region division like the first one has |
22:15.55 | Hachiman | How many regions are there for the first continent? |
22:15.56 | OluapPlayer | Preferebly with things not present in the first continent for the sake of not having two of the same thing |
22:16.24 | OluapPlayer | Polar Lands, Sea of Sand, Western Forests, Eastern Plains, Tropical Lands |
22:16.25 | OluapPlayer | Five |
22:16.30 | Xho | As in like Western forest/Sea of Sand |
22:17.11 | Xho | Well much of the north west as described from The Black Wave is a |
22:17.13 | Xho | Dammit |
22:17.14 | Xho | Steppe |
22:17.32 | Xho | Cold steppe that is |
22:17.35 | OluapPlayer | What's that |
22:17.44 | Hachiman | It's gonna be difficult to give the second continent distinguished regions without replicating ones present on the first one |
22:17.52 | Xho | Big fucking flat region |
22:17.55 | Xho | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steppe dis |
22:17.56 | Monet | OluapPlayer: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Astana-steppe-7748.jpg |
22:18.11 | OluapPlayer | Right |
22:18.29 | Xho | The extreme north west is a taiga/tundra area thouh |
22:18.31 | Xho | though |
22:18.34 | OluapPlayer | This kind of thing should be in a forum so that the whole community can give ideas |
22:18.43 | Xho | So that constitutes part of the Polar Lands I guess |
22:19.01 | Xho | rite |
22:19.33 | Xho | I don't know how much of the north west is a steppe, probably most of it is closer to the Talmyr region |
22:19.48 | Hachiman | Should the second continent have a history that is somewhat divergent from the first one |
22:19.49 | Hachiman | As in they both experienced the Caligaduro thing but before and after then the histories are largely independent of one another |
22:20.20 | OluapPlayer | My only involvement in the second continent are the lindworms who live there |
22:20.22 | Xho | I suppose so, there was no influence from the Orichalcum Elves/Cobalt Kingdom/Sea Giants/Anything Else |
22:20.26 | OluapPlayer | It's probably gonna stay that way |
22:20.51 | Xho | Pelagrios' Estate is actually on the second continent, I should mark that up |
22:22.39 | Xho | Right done that |
22:23.14 | Xho | Generally speaking there should be some large power on the second continetn |
22:23.17 | Xho | continent* |
22:23.43 | Xho | The Insomnolence/Bay of Orayu/I'quatan Orcs are all minor |
22:23.58 | Hachiman | Aye |
22:25.10 | Xho | I'm not too sure what Cyrannian is doing with his fantasy fiction though |
22:25.22 | Xho | So that region where his fiction was might be a free area now |
22:25.28 | OluapPlayer | It's still canon |
22:25.31 | Xho | Right |
22:25.36 | Xho | den he shuld add it dat dum |
22:25.39 | *** join/#sporewiki drom_ (~dpessimis@unaffiliated/drom) |
22:25.56 | OluapPlayer | I talked to him recently about it and he says he might come back to it at some point |
22:27.24 | Xho | Hm so wat do wit dat den |
22:27.56 | OluapPlayer | Same are we're doing right now, leave it alone |
22:28.10 | Xho | I mean the second continent |
22:29.12 | OluapPlayer | I have nothing to contribute to it |
22:37.43 | ImpyDroid | What are you talking about |
22:37.52 | Hachiman | Second Koldenwelt continent |
22:38.46 | ImpyDroid | You mean the one on the west? |
22:38.50 | Hachiman | Yes |
22:38.54 | Hachiman | Largely regional divisions and how to distinguish primary parts of the second continent without replicating the regions of the first one |
22:39.06 | ImpyDroid | Hm |
22:39.35 | ImpyDroid | What races do we have there ATM |
22:39.42 | ImpyDroid | I can only think of the Dalmiri |
22:40.07 | Hachiman | I'quatan Orcs, Orayu, Lindworms |
22:40.31 | ImpyDroid | Rite |
22:40.56 | ImpyDroid | The divisions could be more cultural than geographical perhaps |
22:41.08 | Hachiman | The first continent has five regional divisions though I dunno how many would apply to the second continent |
22:41.10 | Xho | Basically the Western Continent at the moment is where all my seedy rural people live |
22:41.57 | Xho | By the looks of things Dino put the Sinleri on the Western Continent as well |
22:42.21 | Hachiman | Yeah but Sinleri dum because connections to the Fictionverse |
22:42.25 | OluapPlayer | They live in some isles between the continent and Marmor |
22:42.45 | Xho | Santorakh - dunt b upsetti hav sum spaghetti |
22:42.54 | ImpyDroid | Xho: So badicallly the redneck continent |
22:42.59 | Xho | More or less |
22:45.12 | ImpyDroid | Gimme the map |
22:45.23 | ImpyDroid | I'll try to brainstorm something |
22:45.27 | Hachiman | Well since deiwes largely populate the Eastern Continent, perhaps the Western Continent could be largely theriocephali-centric |
22:46.26 | ImpyDroid | Furry continent hur |
22:46.31 | Hachiman | non |
22:47.03 | ImpyDroid | There could be a few Ordnung castles left there I think |
22:48.19 | Xho | It's probable |
22:48.27 | OluapPlayer | http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/8/83/NewKoldenweltRegions.png/revision/latest?cb=20140405235628 |
22:48.39 | Xho | Without trying to reference myself too much the Dalmiric Kingdom has a considerable Theriocephali population |

22:49.16 | Hachiman | Right so Western Continent would have less regions than the Eastern Continent |
22:49.30 | OluapPlayer | It's smaller in size so yeah, logically |
22:49.49 | Hachiman | Or it has more but they are smaller than the ones on the Eastern Continent |
22:49.57 | ImpyDroid | What is that thing on the right of the Western Continent |
22:50.07 | ImpyDroid | Is it mountains or something |
22:50.15 | Xho | Yeah |
22:50.31 | Xho | http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/b/b0/NewKoldenweltTestMap.png/revision/latest?cb=20131206210841 |
22:50.44 | ImpyDroid | Okay here we have one region |
22:50.54 | ImpyDroid | These mountains |
22:50.59 | ImpyDroid | Let's call them... |
22:51.02 | Hachiman | dat tiny and too linear |
22:51.08 | ImpyDroid | Shatterpeaks or something |
22:51.21 | ImpyDroid | Still mountains count as regions |
22:51.30 | Monet | The Great Wall? |
22:51.41 | OluapPlayer | The mountains on the far east already have a name |
22:51.44 | OluapPlayer | Great Eastern Wall |
22:51.50 | Monet | Those mountains look like they make crossing into the Western continent tricky |
22:51.59 | Xho | Dalmiric Human - GODDAMN IMPERIALS BREAK DOWN MY SHITTY WARR |
22:52.27 | Xho | There's some large breaks and valley paths I can see |
22:52.43 | ImpyDroid | No I meam the mountains on the east of the Western Continent |
22:52.46 | Xho | Great now I see the Dalmiri as Chinese |
22:52.50 | Hachiman | I can imagine the Great Eastern Wall penetrates into several regions rather than being an actual region itself |
22:52.58 | Xho | >penetrates |
22:53.04 | Xho | u used dat on purpose |
22:53.04 | *** join/#sporewiki TekDroid (~TekDroid@24.114.97.27) |
22:53.21 | Monet | ImpyDroid: The long snakey mountian range you mean? |
22:53.40 | Hachiman | So wait is the "Great Eastern Wall" used in reference to the mountains on the Eastern or Western continent |
22:53.42 | Xho | Yeah that's the mountains we're on about |
22:53.49 | Xho | Eastern Continent |
22:53.49 | ImpyDroid | Eastern |
22:53.53 | Hachiman | Right |
22:53.58 | Xho | As in the giant wall of mountains on the right side of the map |
22:54.29 | ImpyDroid | If so what do we call the mountains on the right of the Western Continent |
22:54.39 | Xho | Great Western Wall |
22:54.43 | Xho | does a thumbs up |
22:54.44 | Hachiman | dum |
22:54.55 | Xho | It's not a bad suggestion to be honest |
22:55.10 | Hachiman | So I can imagine segments of that snakey mountain range being parts of other regions rather than an actual region in itself |
22:55.13 | OluapPlayer | You're copypasting a name so yes it is |
22:55.35 | ImpyDroid | Rite |
22:55.46 | ImpyDroid | >Snakey mountain range |
22:55.54 | Xho | Yeah they're too sparse to be a single mountain range |
22:56.02 | ImpyDroid | We make these the official name for the mountain range |
22:56.24 | ImpyDroid | Serpent Mountains or something |
22:56.24 | Hachiman | Snakey Mountain Range sounds like something out of Dora the Explorer |
22:56.28 | ImpyDroid | What do you think |
22:56.31 | Xho | I dunno |
22:56.41 | OluapPlayer | As Xho said |
22:56.47 | OluapPlayer | Too sparse to be a single mountain range |
22:56.58 | Hachiman | Yeah they are rather sparse |
22:57.03 | OluapPlayer | I'd recommend stopping obsessing over these and moving on to somewhere else |
22:57.08 | Xho | The northernmost part of it is probably something like the Dalmiric Mountains since it's in the Talmyr region |

22:57.20 | Wormy_ | Hi |
22:57.40 | Monet | Hi |
22:58.26 | Hachiman | We could potentially divide that little island that is not Marmor into two regions in itself |
22:59.03 | Hachiman | The bigger of the two small unclaimed islands I mean |
23:00.17 | ImpyDroid | Okay |
23:00.27 | ImpyDroid | I wonder |
23:00.49 | ImpyDroid | If most of Eastern Koldenwelt is either forests or desert |
23:01.06 | ImpyDroid | Could western KW perhaps have a more barren landscape - steppes, perhaps? |
23:01.08 | Xho | Well I've said that the northwestern region is mostly steppe |
23:01.17 | Xho | c |
23:01.18 | ImpyDroid | Or like savannahs |
23:01.26 | ImpyDroid | Africa-style |
23:01.34 | Wormy_ | Faith in humanity restored http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-30965237 |
23:01.51 | Xho | I'd imagine most of Eastern Koldenwelt being steppes |
23:03.03 | Xho | I have no clue what that indeterminate region between the Western Forest and the Sea of Sand is though |
23:03.17 | Xho | Semi-Arid Lands of Doom |
23:03.47 | Wormy_ | The Bailiffs have to put down the date they go to evict people, so in this case, a big crowd turns up to block them every time |
23:05.36 | Hachiman | I was gonna suggest the Western Continent to be a bit more inhospitable / barren / arid than the Eastern Continent |
23:05.56 | ImpyDroid | Aye |
23:06.02 | Xho | but so much green |
23:06.08 | ImpyDroid | Lindworms couldn't help |
23:06.12 | Xho | Unless it's all flat and no forests |
23:06.16 | ImpyDroid | don't help either |
23:06.16 | Xho | Just shitloads of grass |
23:06.22 | ImpyDroid | Xho: >so much green |
23:06.23 | Hachiman | Although that is no excuse for dismissing geographical variety |
23:06.28 | ImpyDroid | Brazil |
23:06.34 | Wormy_ | Monet: Adam Curtis is usually interesting http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p02gyz6b/adam-curtis-bitter-lake |
23:06.54 | ImpyDroid | Brazil is kinda inhospitable |
23:06.58 | ImpyDroid | And green |
23:07.07 | Hachiman | Australia, Brazil |
23:07.10 | OluapPlayer | But that's wrong |
23:07.21 | Xho | Looking at volcanoes in the Kamchatka region and I just came across a real life Erebor http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/64/Kronotsky_volcano.jpg |
23:07.24 | Monet | Brazil has a massive rainforest |
23:07.33 | OluapPlayer | At the north |
23:07.38 | Hachiman | Marshlands <3 |
23:07.43 | Hachiman | I love marshes hur |
23:08.03 | OluapPlayer | There are no rainforests like Amazonia in the rest of the country |
23:08.10 | Xho | ew marshes |
23:10.45 | ImpyDroid | So the Western Continent is like South America/Australia/Sub-Saharan Africa |
23:11.17 | Xho | The southern half perhaps |
23:11.37 | Xho | It's probably similar in diversity to the whole of the American continents |
23:11.48 | Xho | Arctic/forests in the north and then goddamn humid in the south |
23:11.53 | ImpyDroid | Dalmiri - FREEDUHM |

23:13.18 | Hachiman | Like death |
23:13.25 | Wormy_ | Precisely |
23:13.48 | Wormy_ | I want to ask her why I haven't got the other symptoms of it, or why my health isn't deterioating |
23:14.01 | ImpyDroid | Xho: Imperial - PREPARE TO BE CONQUERED | Dalmiri - sorry |
23:14.43 | Wormy_ | Mercury poisoning = dying neurons |
23:14.53 | Xho | It's odd because I said the Dalmiri probably look like Native Americans |
23:14.57 | Wormy_ | Autism = slightly different neural connections |
23:15.47 | OluapPlayer | Mind you South America has several kinds of climate. it ranges from tropical rainforests to temperate forests, to deserts and glaciers |
23:16.09 | Xho | Klaxxa - southern region is ours #fantasyfalklands |
23:16.12 | OluapPlayer | Which's probably a good thing because the continent should have variation and not be just a big forest with some steppes at the top |
23:16.33 | Xho | And geographically speaking it would follow a similar suit to the rest of the world anyway |
23:17.18 | Xho | Even if it is fantasy it wouldn't make much sense if it wasn't geographically consistent unless !magic |
23:17.36 | OluapPlayer | That'd be a stupid reason anyway |
23:18.05 | OluapPlayer | All I know is that the lindworms are supposed to inhabited wherever is cold in there |
23:18.38 | Xho | That would be the northwest then hur |
23:19.00 | Xho | Or general north or north east |
23:19.22 | Xho | Magically speaking the northwest region does have a strong dark magic presence so you could roll Lindworms in with that |
23:19.36 | Xho | Or the whole north as I should have said |
23:20.36 | OluapPlayer | I can imagine some of these mountains having been formed from Siivhahzin's rib bones |
23:20.52 | Xho | The Rekt Mountains |
23:21.10 | Xho | Reminds me of the Fist of Rukt from Halo |
23:21.12 | OluapPlayer | Same way Tritonomarth became a whole island |
23:21.48 | Hachiman | Could have a few table mountains here or there |
23:21.57 | Hachiman | I like table mountains hur |
23:22.19 | Xho | Santorakh - more tea dear |
23:22.27 | ImpyDroid | Hmmm |
23:22.39 | ImpyDroid | Remember when you said there should be swamps? |
23:22.58 | ImpyDroid | Northern WC could be like cold icy marshlands |
23:23.35 | ImpyDroid | Kinda like where I live, lots of water and everything is very flat and wet |
23:23.47 | ImpyDroid | Except with Lindworms |
23:24.01 | Xho | Dalmiri Humans - dunt feed da lindworms |
23:25.02 | OluapPlayer | I guess |
23:25.16 | OluapPlayer | Mind you they're supposed to be uncommon |
23:25.35 | OluapPlayer | Because a big number of these would make it difficult for other races to live in the region |
23:25.51 | Hachiman | Lindworms kinda remind me of the big worm things from Dune |
23:25.52 | Xho | I'd imagine regions that far north would be sparsely populated anyway |
23:25.57 | Hachiman | Except evil |
23:26.12 | ImpyDroid | Ya sort of |

23:26.44 | OluapPlayer | That sounds good to me |
23:27.21 | Xho | The most northern my stuff goes to on that continent is Ahdramilús' tomb |
23:27.28 | Xho | That's right into the polar regions though |
23:27.28 | ImpyDroid | Okay so we estabilished that the region where Lindworms live looks like Northwestern Russia |
23:28.40 | OluapPlayer | Warning: heavily populated by bears and giant evil dragons |
23:28.51 | Xho | Oh god |
23:28.53 | Xho | Bear Peoples |
23:29.30 | Xho | Needs a giant bear-man traveller character now |
23:29.54 | Hachiman | Who wears a red shirt and has an obsession with honey? |
23:30.12 | Xho | Honey Puff thing |
23:30.42 | Hachiman | I was more referring to Winnie the Pooh hur |
23:30.57 | Xho | I don't think I could have won with that one |
23:31.16 | Xho | I thought it was going to be Winnie the Pooh but then I thought it was a trick question and went for the Honey Puff Monster |
23:31.20 | ImpyDroid | http://lurkmore.so/images/5/57/V5.jpg He should look like this |
23:31.42 | OluapPlayer | The hell is that supposed to be |
23:31.46 | Xho | There's a lot of secret dark presences in Talmyr as well which will be explored later |
23:32.14 | ImpyDroid | Grimdark version of Winnie the Pooh I think |
23:32.34 | ImpyDroid | It's based on the Soviet Winnie design http://lurkmore.so/images/5/57/V5.jpg |
23:32.37 | Xho | Well if you look at The Black Wave you could probably piece together what is lurking under the Dalmiric Mountain City |
23:32.42 | ImpyDroid | wait wrong |
