| 00:00.12 | Xho | He's on friendly terms with numerous professional musician as well as Ola Strandberg |
| 00:00.15 | Xho | He stole my life |
| 00:00.22 | Xho | He actually ripped it right from me |
| 00:00.56 | Monet | Befriend this musician |
| 00:01.21 | Monet | Make his contacts yours! |
| 00:01.37 | Xho | Yeah I should |
| 00:01.57 | Xho | Though I kind of need to start doing solo projects as well in order to make that somewhat justifiable |
| 00:02.34 | Xho | But Ola Strandberg though |
| 00:02.52 | Xho | That guy owns the company who makes my favourite custom guitars |
| 00:03.14 | Xho | http://www.wrighttoneguitars.com/img/guitars/strandberg/Strandberg8_1/1_Strandberg8_1_butterfly.jpg I would eat a toddler for one of these |
| 00:03.37 | Xho | Exceptionally expensive though |
| 00:03.51 | Xho | A top end made-to-measure one costs closer to £4000 |
| 00:03.57 | The_Randomness | jeez |
| 00:04.29 | Xho | Of course if you get an endorsement the price is reduced |
| 00:05.00 | Xho | Big companies like Ibanez can grant full endorsements to the point where guitars are free |
| 00:05.32 | Xho | Which I guess is how the two guitarists in Meshuggah between them have customised guitars |
| 00:05.48 | Xho | Their guitars are worth like £5000 |
| 00:06.42 | Xho | http://www.dv247.com/guitars/ibanez-m8m-8-string-electric-guitar--107075?gclid=CKzq-Jf0t8MCFUPJtAod1DAAGg |
| 00:07.22 | Xho | But considering they're handmade in Japan it's going to be that expensive |

| 00:12.31 | Quark8 | Hello. |
| 00:14.14 | Monet | Hi |
| 00:17.01 | Wormy_ | ~seen Cyrannian |
| 00:17.01 | infobot | cyrannian <562d6746@gateway/web/freenode/ip.86.45.103.70> was last seen on IRC in channel #sporewiki, 5d 5h 32m 40s ago, saying: '~punch OluapWorker'. |
| 00:18.09 | DrodoEmpire | Speaking of which, has anyone been in contact with Cyrannian? |
| 00:19.25 | The_Randomness | I haven't talked to him recently, but I can contact him through Steam or something |
| 00:20.09 | Monet | He's not on Steam right now |
| 00:20.14 | The_Randomness | yeah |
| 00:20.17 | DrodoEmpire | Hm |
| 00:20.42 | DrodoEmpire | Its a bit concerning honestly. I know its a bit of an overreaction but still |
| 00:21.10 | The_Randomness | He's probably just been busy with school recently or something |
| 00:21.17 | DrodoEmpire | Probably. |
| 00:27.13 | TekDroid | O.o Our physics prof just snapped. People wouldn't stop talking so she just ended the lecture. |
| 00:28.12 | Monet | Was it mostly the back of the class? |
| 00:28.21 | TekDroid | No. |
| 00:28.36 | The_Randomness | wow |
| 00:28.40 | TekDroid | There was also less than 5 minutes left in the lecture. |
| 00:28.44 | TekDroid | brb |
| 00:32.06 | *** join/#sporewiki Tek0516 (~TekDroid@24.114.97.110) |
| 00:33.55 | Tek0516 | People had been talking the whole lecture so when she got to the test review she basically just stopped it there and left without leaving time for questions. |
| 00:38.46 | Monet | "Screw it if you won't listen why bother with the last bit"? |
| 00:38.52 | Monet | kinda thing? |
| 00:39.51 | Tek0516 | Pretty much. Most on the content is also on the website and one of the other profs for the course even posts videos of his lectures. |
| 00:40.42 | Monet | Maybe that's why? |
| 00:43.34 | The_Randomness | Honestly that's extremely disrespectful of the class for behaving like that |
| 00:43.59 | The_Randomness | Or rather, those students |
| 00:52.20 | Quark8 | test |
| 00:55.27 | Wormy_ | Tek: That woman has no concept of rhetoric, or any ability to command her presence |
| 00:56.02 | Wormy_ | Yes, her students were in the wrong, but storming out is the wrong message and a ridiculous thing to do |
| 00:56.23 | Tek0516 | Yeah. |
| 00:56.53 | Tek0516 | I donât think most of the class has even understood what's she's teaching. |
| 00:57.34 | Tek0516 | Doesn't help it's a large lecture hall and she uses no microphone. |
| 00:58.13 | Wormy_ | Its also not fair to end the lecture so abruptly for students who *are* paying attention. |
| 00:58.34 | Wormy_ | And do need a Q/A |
| 00:59.23 | Wormy_ | When I was at University of Leicester, a lecturer might set us a question, say, a third way through to keep our minds on the subject. |
| 00:59.55 | Wormy_ | There would be some element of interactivity, and a element of passion for their work |
| 01:00.04 | Wormy_ | And that made it interesting |
| 01:00.21 | Wormy_ | Even humour |
| 01:00.30 | The_Randomness | My current E&M teacher regularly asks us questions during lecture |
| 01:01.26 | Wormy_ | Its terrible that uni students are behaving like that though |
| 01:01.41 | The_Randomness | Indeed |
| 01:02.09 | Wormy_ | Oh well, I assume in Canada they will be in debt, so its their money and time wasted |
| 01:02.21 | Tek0516 | She has giant projector screens and instead uses the tiny chalkboard that's too dirty to even be visible from the back with no microphone. |
| 01:03.04 | Wormy_ | The smart thing to do is to complain to student reps |
| 01:03.49 | Wormy_ | That her style isn't engaging and clear, she is hard to hear, allows for no inreraction and its difficult to read her notes |
| 01:06.31 | Wormy_ | goodbye |
| 01:32.18 | DrodoEmpire | test |
| 01:33.14 | Tek0516 | fail. |
| 01:33.31 | Tek0516 | sends DrodoEmpire back to pre-school |
| 01:35.49 | DrodoEmpire | completely flips his shit and gives Tek a haymaker to the jaw, before flipping his desk and proceeding to batter through the channel, destroying anything in his wake with a baseball bat. |
| 01:38.12 | Quark8 | how do you flip your shit? |
| 01:39.00 | Tek0516 | hands Quark8 a shovel |

| 13:15.22 | Ardoku | Hello? I was wandering if we could discuss my Un-grox concept? |
| 13:15.49 | AdmiralPanda | Hi, and go for it |
| 13:23.58 | Ardoku | Ok, so I've already put it up here: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Un-Grox |
| 13:26.37 | Ardoku | Basically, my thought process was to create basically the exact opposite of the Grox, except in a way that connected the two together. In a way, to create a good twin of the Grox. With that in mind, I decided that where as the Grox are all about machines, mechanical augmentations, and eradication of life which is not them, the Un-grox would instead be all organic tech, organic augmentations, and the preservation of all life. |
| 13:28.07 | Ardoku | How ever, since I didn't want to interfere with pre-established events concerning the Grox, I made it so that they emerged before the Grox arose as a universal personification of evil, and then re-emerged after the main Grox were defeated. |
| 13:30.35 | AdmiralPanda | So far I don't really see any problems, this is slightly nit-picking but "organic" doesn't mean alive, it means anything composed of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus and a couple of early order metals |
| 13:30.53 | AdmiralPanda | that's just nitpicking on the tech to be clear |
| 13:31.08 | AdmiralPanda | so you could have "organic" technology that isn't alive, it's just comprised of those materials exclusively |
| 13:32.42 | AdmiralPanda | I don't really have anything else to contribute, everything seems fine at its current stage |

| 15:29.02 | Wormy_ | Chopra seems to spout baseless comments that don'ty mean anything |
| 15:30.55 | HachiCollege | So apparently a girl's father committed suicide after seeing her pose nude in Playboy magazine |
| 15:31.05 | HachiCollege | Shame really, especially considering the daughter is hot hur |
| 15:31.17 | Ghelae | Wormy_: I don't know much about him, but AFAIK that's practically his modus operandi. |
| 15:31.30 | AdmiralPanda | not exactly like seeing her naked is a new experience |
| 15:32.07 | OluapWorker | That`s genuinely sad |
| 15:32.11 | Wormy_ | The reason why I said it was after I watched him debate Richard Dawkins |
| 15:32.51 | Wormy_ | When confronted by Dawkin's points he jumped into a mode of throwing phrases together |
| 15:33.00 | AdmiralPanda | oh it's genuinely sad, just there isn't much to be said when you don't know which part offended him |
| 15:55.22 | Wormy_ | Here is an example https://twitter.com/DeepakChopra/status/560472015568904194 |
| 15:55.31 | Wormy_ | That is intellectually weak and dishonest |

| 17:22.04 | odell | How's today been? |
| 17:23.15 | odell | The more I stare at a text. The feel of the language being alien and unknown grow inside me. |
| 17:23.25 | odell | The more of the feel* |
| 17:29.50 | Wormy_away | I've had that feeling. |
| 17:30.14 | Xho | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Maps/1776 Added a couple more things to Abyssus |
| 17:30.43 | Wormy_away | Don't stare at words too deeply. |
| 17:31.08 | Xho | Imperios: Gimme a name for Servius' fortress |
| 17:31.20 | Xho | Generally along the lines of a Dark Elivsh feel to the name |
| 17:32.21 | Imperios | Khazdriaelum |
| 17:32.40 | Xho | That works |
| 17:33.03 | OluapWorker | Thratandrovan -> right next door to Khor and the Sable Hive |
| 17:33.06 | odell | Sounds more like dorfy to me. |
| 17:33.09 | OluapWorker | Kebra`Oso - SLUMBA PARTY |
| 17:33.14 | OluapWorker | Osos even |
| 17:33.46 | Xho | Valentinianus - gtfo |
| 17:34.44 | Xho | Every Shiarchon Praetor is in a way a lord of a part of Abyssus |
| 17:34.59 | Xho | So Arcturus, Julianus and Servius have cities and palatial fortresses they rule over |
| 17:35.16 | Xho | So I've added those three |
| 17:35.22 | Xho | Valentinianus' was already added |
| 17:35.53 | Xho | Not too sure how many Praetors there are |
| 17:36.02 | OluapWorker | 21 |
| 17:36.05 | Xho | hur |
| 17:36.14 | Xho | It's about 70 - 100 I think |
| 17:37.25 | Ghel | 21 x 4 = 84, so if you can find a way to make 4 sacred to the Shiarchon... |
| 17:37.58 | OluapWorker | Shiarchon - 4 limbs i got dis |
| 17:38.21 | Xho | Kalarah - ur an idiot |
| 17:38.32 | Xho | 84 is divisible by 7 of which 7 is the sacred number |
| 17:39.18 | Xho | So 84 Praetors could work |
| 17:39.39 | Ghel | Anything divisible by 21 is divisible by 7. And 3. |
| 17:40.18 | Xho | The Praetors would often bring delegates/servants/whatever to sit in the Imperial Chamber so Kalarah's throne room would be pretty huge |
| 17:40.50 | OluapWorker | Xacutus - been dere needs more fire |
| 17:41.01 | Wormy_away | 7 is a magical number |
| 17:41.10 | Xho | If we're talking like 7 per (and including) Praetor it's large enough to house 588 Shiarchon plus Kalarah |
| 17:41.45 | Xho | Kalarah's throne room is similar to a senatorial chamber |
| 17:42.47 | Xho | So big room |

| 17:42.56 | Monet | Hello |
| 17:43.02 | Xho | Hi |
| 17:43.17 | Xho | I've been tempted to try and make the Imperial Palace at Sangua Mons on Google Sketchup but the effort |
| 17:43.20 | Xho | The goddamn effort |
| 17:43.25 | TekDroid | Hello |
| 17:43.28 | Ghel | Hello. |
| 17:46.25 | Xho | I mean the front square to the palace itself is (how I imagine it) about 280m wide |
| 17:46.40 | Monet | WHat about a downsized version? |
| 17:46.49 | Xho | Could do but what's the fun in that hur |
| 17:46.49 | Monet | You could easily scale it up later |
| 17:47.37 | Monet | Well with Sketchup the scale ratio doesn't really matter without representativefigures. |
| 17:48.04 | Monet | Without a figure ot show a char could be made in metres but the model is then scaled down to centimetres |
| 17:50.33 | OluapWorker | I ought to do something fiction-related, I feel like I`m starving for a new story |
| 17:50.44 | Xho | Shroud of the Sun |
| 17:50.51 | Xho | Though that's quiet because well |
| 17:50.53 | Xho | blah |
| 17:50.56 | OluapWorker | Which you never move on |
| 17:51.10 | Xho | I would but Hachi isn't here atm |

| 17:52.38 | OluapWorker | wut u implyin |
| 17:53.24 | OluapWorker | I have fiction outside of Borealis too |
| 17:53.40 | OluapWorker | In fact my main fiction is in the Milky Way despite everyone often forgetting that |
| 17:54.03 | Xho | cuz u galasci |
| 17:58.57 | Xho | Something about Koldenwely |
| 17:59.01 | Xho | Kodlenwelt even |
| 17:59.24 | Xho | If I were to start a page on the Talmyr geographical region what part of Koldenwelt is it |
| 17:59.34 | Xho | Polar Lands or Western Forests |
| 17:59.41 | OluapWorker | Polar |
| 17:59.47 | Xho | rite |
| 17:59.54 | OluapWorker | polor londs |
| 18:00.07 | Xho | Dalmiric Human - frosto hoomon |
| 18:00.11 | OluapWorker | Actually let me check |
| 18:00.24 | OluapWorker | To the mapmobile |
| 18:00.28 | AdmiralPanda | OluapWorker: well all my stuff lives in Andromeda so dum :P |
| 18:00.45 | Xho | Talmyr sort of encompasses the two regions so I dunno what it really is |
| 18:00.48 | OluapWorker | Can`t do then, Andromeda is kinda off limits to me now |
| 18:01.32 | OluapWorker | Well, by the map, only a little bit of it is in the Polar Lands |
| 18:01.43 | OluapWorker | Most of it is in the Forests and Continent 2.0 |
| 18:01.57 | OluapWorker | So I`d say go for Forests |
| 18:02.09 | Xho | rite |

| 18:03.31 | Hachiman | Well I was caught in the snow on my way back |
| 18:03.46 | Hachiman | It was not snow like proper snow but like wet snow |
| 18:03.56 | OluapWorker | Meanwhile you could probably fry an egg in the street over here |
| 18:04.10 | Hachiman | Can I fry you in the street |
| 18:04.23 | OluapWorker | ye |
| 18:04.26 | OluapWorker | Currently 34 C |
| 18:04.43 | Xho | FOK |
| 18:04.52 | Xho | It's a wonderful 2 C here |
| 18:05.45 | Xho | So the Siberian boreal forests can drop down to -55ºC |
| 18:05.58 | OluapWorker | forest 2cold |
| 18:06.00 | Xho | Talmyr must get some shit winters then |
| 18:06.26 | Xho | Probably not as cold as -50 |

| 18:06.41 | Xho | -30 perhaps |
| 18:07.06 | Xho | Though technically the Talmyr region is part polar as well |
| 18:07.15 | Xho | So yeah it could drop down to -50 |
| 18:07.35 | Xho | fukin freezin |

| 18:10.48 | Xho | Dalmiric Human - maybe |
| 18:11.10 | Xho | The Névari lands are even colder |
| 18:11.27 | Xho | -65ºC at its coldest perhaps |
| 18:11.41 | Xho | Frozen salamander sticks |
| 18:12.09 | OluapWorker | Merovar - possibru |
| 18:12.10 | Hachiman | >-65ºC at coldest >Riad still walks around without a shirt on |
| 18:12.13 | OluapWorker | impossibru even |
| 18:12.37 | OluapWorker | 12 C would be already physically painful for a Merovar |
| 18:12.46 | Xho | Néva - leathery blue skin it helps lel |
| 18:13.14 | Xho | Actually all Néva are well clothed in that cold |
| 18:13.18 | OluapWorker | Going lower than that would probably kill them instantly |
| 18:13.55 | Xho | The Néva probably start feeling the cold at around -30 |
| 18:13.58 | Hachiman | So apparently Barack and Michelle Obama visited Saudi Arabia and Michelle refused to wear a headscarf, causing something of a cultural outrage |
| 18:14.26 | Wormy_away | You know thats whats also awesome about Earth. Yeah its not as hot as Venus or as cold as Mars, but any two points can vary between -90 and 60-100 degrees C (at ground temperature outside shade) that's a massive spectrum. |
| 18:15.05 | OluapWorker | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Planet%3AKoldenwelt#Prehistoric_Age_.28Beginning_-_40.2C000_BNA.29 I don`t think anyone noticed but I filled this |
| 18:15.24 | Xho | Hachiman: But they're black how does this work #notracistatall |
| 18:15.38 | Xho | OluapWorker: gud nao moar |
| 18:15.53 | OluapWorker | u didnt reed |
| 18:16.01 | Xho | I read it a few hours ago |
| 18:16.29 | Xho | I just didn't bring it up |
| 18:16.36 | OluapWorker | u shuld |
| 18:16.46 | OluapWorker | I need to know if I`m getting all the events right |
| 18:16.51 | Hachiman | Nice, pretty accurate to me |
| 18:16.53 | Xho | Seems right to me |
| 18:17.18 | Xho | I think now that I have a boreal forest under geographic control I can finally bring in bear people |
| 18:17.22 | Xho | BEAR PEOPLE |
| 18:17.26 | OluapWorker | I have no idea what to put in the Orichalcum Age |
| 18:17.30 | Hachiman | https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10857880_1571286516421751_1053476574655972505_n.jpg?oh=fd4f64738cf952ae14b94e778abda62a&oe=5521BA47 |
| 18:17.34 | OluapWorker | As far as I can tell, nothing important happened there |
| 18:17.45 | Xho | Most of it was basically the Orichalcum Elves telling everyone to do things for them |
| 18:17.55 | OluapWorker | dats not important |
| 18:18.24 | Xho | Well it did cause the Orichalcum Elf Imperium to crumble almost at one point |
| 18:18.30 | Xho | Akharav's influence mainly |
| 18:19.14 | Xho | http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--KNVQ8bsw--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/19bqa870k8wb6jpg.jpg This is Earath in Talmyr |
| 18:19.47 | OluapWorker | hur |
| 18:20.00 | OluapWorker | That`s at the hottest temperature possible |
| 18:20.19 | Xho | Riad - night father save you when winter comes |
| 18:20.26 | Xho | 12 C is like the peak of summer |
| 18:20.30 | OluapWorker | Earath - more like bye im off this dump |
| 18:20.45 | Xho | Black Wave is set at the end of winter and it's probably about -15 C there |
| 18:22.06 | Xho | Then again -52 is mainly the polar parts of it at winter and at night |
| 18:22.38 | Xho | Winter in the boreal forests of Talmyr drops to about -30 probably |
| 18:23.29 | Xho | And now I can make bear people |
| 18:23.31 | Xho | BEAR PEOPEL |
| 18:23.44 | OluapWorker | shup |
| 18:24.00 | Xho | BOOR POOPLO |
| 18:24.05 | Xho | I'll shup now |
| 18:27.36 | Xho | I just realised |
| 18:27.47 | Xho | Bears look similar to dogs |
| 18:28.27 | Hachiman | Are you high |
| 18:28.30 | AdmiralPanda | I was gonna make a race of volibears at one point but then I gave up on RPs in general |
| 18:28.46 | Xho | http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Medved_mzoo.jpg |
| 18:28.59 | Xho | Their faces |
| 18:29.06 | odell | Oh god ew. A cat was premused dead after being driven over and was buried in his owner's backyard. Five days later, the cat was actually alive all along. |
| 18:29.15 | Monet | Xho: I can see it in the snout |
| 18:30.05 | AdmiralPanda | when you really get down to it the only difference is the proportions |
| 18:30.16 | OluapWorker | Well bears and dogs are both carniformes |
| 18:30.23 | Hachiman | Are you all high |
| 18:30.26 | OluapWorker | They`re not that far away from each other |
| 18:30.42 | OluapWorker | *caniformes |
| 18:31.01 | Hachiman | http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/Polar_Bear_-_Alaska.jpg This looks nothing like a dog to me |
| 18:31.23 | Xho | http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a6/Sitting_sun_bear.jpg |
| 18:32.02 | AdmiralPanda | Hachiman: I'm not saying they look the same, I'm saying that the only functional difference between the two is the proportions of their body |
| 18:32.17 | OluapWorker | Dogs, bears, red pandas, skunks, badgers, raccoons and seals all belong to the same taxon suborder |
| 18:32.28 | Monet | HAchiman: No you're right...it looks like a realyl really fat wolf |
| 18:33.23 | OluapWorker | Red pandas are <3 |
| 18:33.38 | AdmiralPanda | all pandas are cute |
| 18:33.43 | Hachiman | Aye |
| 18:33.52 | OluapWorker | cept u |
| 18:33.54 | AdmiralPanda | especially baby pandas rolling down hills |
| 18:34.09 | AdmiralPanda | OluapWorker: I'm not cute, I'm FABULOUS |
| 18:34.25 | Hachiman | i call anb |
| 18:34.27 | Hachiman | Whoops |
| 18:34.31 | Hachiman | By the way just in case anybody has any thoughts about it |
| 18:34.33 | Hachiman | I am calling ant people |
| 18:34.36 | Xho | Well I got the body sorted |
| 18:34.41 | Xho | The head's gonna be interesting |
| 18:34.54 | AdmiralPanda | Hachiman: I cover your antennas in skunk emissions |
| 18:34.56 | OluapWorker | By that I mean you`re never gonna do it |
| 18:35.00 | AdmiralPanda | you people suicide nao |
| 18:35.07 | OluapWorker | you mean even |
| 18:35.13 | Xho | Probably not |
| 18:35.21 | OluapWorker | I meant Hachi hur |
| 18:35.24 | Xho | I need some details on this head I think |
| 18:35.32 | Xho | still dis gon b hard |
| 18:35.46 | Hachiman | Also somebody should probably make a race of anthro mantis shrimps |
| 18:35.46 | Hachiman | Or that might be too OP, dunno |
| 18:36.12 | AdmiralPanda | they only really work the way they do because they're tiny |
| 18:37.09 | OluapWorker | Something is only OP if you make it OP |
| 18:37.27 | Xho | I go on to Google for looks for a bear head |
| 18:37.31 | Xho | I get http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/7/79/DoombringerOfFenrisPortrait.png/revision/latest?cb=20130305093118 this |

| 18:38.34 | OluapWorker | hur |
| 18:38.44 | OluapWorker | How did bear become Cerberus-like thingy |
| 18:38.54 | Wormy_away | I must admit I think bears and dogs are alike. There usaed to be a taxonomic family of "Bear Dogs" too |
| 18:39.24 | AdmiralPanda | http://www.ardentlight.com/costa-rica/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/aluki.jpg I don't care that this thing is lethally toxic, I want to give it a tiny hat and a monocle |
| 18:39.44 | OluapWorker | Those blue lines |
| 18:39.50 | OluapWorker | They actually bother my eyes a bit |
| 18:39.59 | AdmiralPanda | then it's working |
| 18:40.07 | AdmiralPanda | they're meant to make people stay the fuk away |
| 18:40.44 | Wormy_away | oc - fuk ur all |
| 18:42.11 | AdmiralPanda | I love how the Pathfinder Kingdoms rules give the government the ability to establish an illegal black market |

| 18:45.51 | AdmiralPanda | What's really funny is I can actually kinda imagine Khara founding her own settlement if not kingdom |
| 18:46.13 | Hachiman | Oh? |
| 18:47.34 | AdmiralPanda | She has a pretty strong sense of right and wrong, wants to help/protect people, and she has at least a forceful enough personality to make some fairly potent adventurers follow her lead, so I imagine she could pull together a settlement in the interest of aiding and protecting the people within |
| 18:48.10 | Wormy_away | I remember finding an image in a book where this diver met face to face with a giant lobster or similar creature. It wasn't a crab. Never been able to find out was that giant Crustacean was |
| 18:48.26 | Wormy_away | It was as big as the diver |
| 18:48.46 | AdmiralPanda | I mean sure she'd probably need everyone else to do the actual running of the place, but I reckon she could pull one together |
| 18:49.34 | Hachiman | Khara - as long as deres fings dat need punchin im in charge and a lotta fings need punchin |
| 18:50.06 | AdmiralPanda | Mirya - Yes dear now shup while I make the dirty peasants do what they're told |
| 18:51.03 | OluapWorker | A village of gleerfully homicidal half-orc half-goblin children led by Khara and Gretchbite |
| 18:51.47 | AdmiralPanda | ohgod |
| 18:52.09 | AdmiralPanda | now I'm kinda regretting mentioning the idea in public |
| 18:53.28 | Hachiman | Xho: https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/1012985_215944225242634_6336592215455239653_n.jpg?oh=612fa479b95e0b37e98a28705cd3afdf&oe=556ED554 |

| 18:54.08 | Xho | Now what to call these bear people |
| 18:54.19 | OluapWorker | Beary Funny |
| 18:54.19 | Hachiman | Winnies |
| 18:54.43 | AdmiralPanda | Ursine |
| 18:55.01 | Xho | Well something related to 'Ursa' was my original thouht |
| 18:55.03 | AdmiralPanda | two jokes and a ripoff :P that's about the normal answer from the sporewiki crowd |
| 18:55.03 | Xho | thought |
| 18:55.52 | Hachiman | Well what motif are they gonna follow |
| 18:56.38 | Xho | wat u meen by motif |
| 18:56.45 | Hachiman | Well |
| 18:56.59 | Hachiman | What would you compare them to in real life culturally |
| 18:57.09 | AdmiralPanda | huh, the kingdom rules also indirectly state how polygamous rulers work |
| 18:57.14 | Xho | Hell I dunno |
| 18:57.23 | Xho | Inuits I suppose |
| 18:58.41 | Xho | If I use Inuktitut, 'bear' is 'aitqpuq' |
| 18:59.15 | Hachiman | Kârhursi (plural), Kârhursan (singular) |
| 18:59.26 | Wormy_away | Does anybody here dislike wub wub sounds in music? I can be enjoying a track and wub wubz come in and I drop the track instantly. |
| 18:59.32 | Hachiman | From Finnish "karhu" which means bear and, well, ursa hur |
| 18:59.46 | Xho | Hm clever |
| 19:00.01 | Xho | I might change that just slightly though |
| 19:00.02 | OluapWorker | So they`re called |
| 19:00.03 | OluapWorker | Bear bear |
| 19:00.14 | Hachiman | Bear bears |
| 19:00.15 | Hachiman | Yes |
| 19:00.16 | Xho | Well the latin term for gorilla is 'Gorilla gorilla' |
| 19:00.34 | OluapWorker | GORILLON |
| 19:02.19 | Hachiman | I get reminded of the Girallon from Pathfinder |
| 19:03.17 | Xho | I'll change it to Kôrhusn for singular and Kôrhusnur for plural |
| 19:03.24 | Xho | tanks 4 input |
| 19:03.35 | Hachiman | <3 |
| 19:03.40 | AdmiralPanda | prepares loading space for tank input |
| 19:03.56 | AdmiralPanda | needs moar leman russ |
| 19:04.11 | Hachiman | AdmiralPanda: What is this about preparing your mother for my wiener insertion |
| 19:04.52 | AdmiralPanda | I know that's a joke, but my mother is a lesbian, so even if you were serious good luck making that happen. |
| 19:05.04 | Xho | rekt |
| 19:05.08 | Hachiman | "My mother is a lesbian" |
| 19:05.33 | AdmiralPanda | Yes, she realised such about 7 years ago when she met her current partner |
| 19:05.35 | OluapWorker | how were u born |
| 19:05.54 | OluapWorker | Oh I thought Hachi had said that |
| 19:08.22 | Xho | Aaand |
| 19:08.53 | Hachiman | So apparently five exoplanets were discovered that are 80% as old as the universe and are thought to be the eldest planets recorded in current history |
| 19:09.04 | Hachiman | Discovered recently, that is |
| 19:09.15 | Ghel | Between 10.2 and 12.2 billion years old, last time I checked. |
| 19:09.43 | Hachiman | They are all rocky worlds however thus the probability of life is highly unlikely |
| 19:10.07 | Xho | dat star gon xplod |
| 19:10.39 | Xho | Only 117 light years away as well |
| 19:11.17 | Hachiman | >only |
| 19:11.39 | Wormy_away | Also, I was fascinated by the discovery of a planet with a massive ring system, and the fact we could detect it |
| 19:11.43 | Ghel | It's an orange dwarf star, with another twenty billion or so years left in it. |
| 19:11.47 | Xho | In the grand scheme of the universe 117 light years is minuscule |
| 19:12.12 | Hachiman | yeh but ur dik is even moar miniscule dan dat |
| 19:12.14 | OluapWorker | its barely the distance between one side of ur mom`s belly to da other |
| 19:12.29 | Hachiman | ;~; |
| 19:12.30 | Ghel | Also, last time I checked, Earth was a rocky planet, so that should make them more capable of having life. |
| 19:12.34 | Wormy_away | http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-31001936 |
| 19:12.35 | Xho | Especially in the Fictionverse where most empires make multi-million light year journeys as common as muck |
| 19:13.18 | Hachiman | Somebody needs to go look for the Great Attractor in the Fictionverse already |
| 19:13.22 | Hachiman | Hachi preferably |
| 19:13.33 | Hachiman | becuz hes da most likely one 2 get attracted 2 it |
| 19:13.41 | OluapWorker | aka no one |
| 19:14.27 | OluapWorker | I`m still starving for new fiction |
| 19:15.10 | Wormy_away | I wonder what billions of years of evolution would look like in the future. Yes I know the moon is receding and the Sun will expand giving complex life only a few hundred million, but metazoans and plants only really appeared in last 500 megayears. And who knows, maybe our descendants will change the sun, move Earth, or so on |
| 19:15.38 | OluapWorker | Xho Wormy_away: Would you be willing to continue the Fog War if I started it again? |
| 19:16.07 | Wormy_away | If we live in a multiverse those descendants already have altered the natural course. |
| 19:16.11 | Wormy_away | Yes |
| 19:16.47 | Hachiman | I am hopeful that one day we shall remake ourselves in the image of the almighty octopus |
| 19:16.49 | Wormy_away | I'm a much slower writer these days due to my work and projects |
| 19:17.37 | Wormy_away | Geology has made me think how tiny a few hundred million years is lol |
| 19:17.58 | Xho | OluapWorker: SÃ |
| 19:18.04 | OluapWorker | rite |
| 19:18.12 | AdmiralPanda | Now that I think of it, since the ISF is practically everywhere we could make a side plot of the transhumanism plot |
| 19:18.14 | Wormy_away | Life was around, though in a rather boring state, for billions of years before the evolution of animals and terrestrial plants |
| 19:18.23 | OluapWorker | In that case I`ll go back to it after I`m done with Angels of the Hunting Isle |
| 19:18.35 | OluapWorker | And hopefully not stop halfway through again |
| 19:18.50 | Hachiman | YEY |
| 19:18.53 | Hachiman | Whoops caps |
| 19:18.55 | Xho | I take it that Bear People would be mammalian Theriocephali |
| 19:19.10 | OluapWorker | Of course u eejit |
| 19:19.12 | Hachiman | Lacertilian |
| 19:19.23 | Xho | r u dum |
| 19:19.33 | Hachiman | u asked da dum question |
| 19:19.40 | Xho | u dunt hav to b dum |
| 19:19.57 | OluapWorker | I have to figure out a plot for that fiction |
| 19:20.04 | OluapWorker | I never did since it kinda died |
| 19:20.16 | Ghel | Wormy_away: Geology tells you how short a million years is, astronomy tells you how small a million light years is, and cosmology tells you to give up and go home. |
| 19:20.17 | Xho | Koluap goes on a hunt for the Greatest Bucket |
| 19:20.45 | Hachiman | Little does Koluap know |
| 19:20.50 | OluapWorker | Koluap - guys guys what if hear me on this one what if we put lava in a bucket and throw it at the demon |
| 19:20.55 | Hachiman | He IS the Greatest Bucket |
| 19:21.22 | Wormy_away | And if that wasn't enough, there is the possibility of multiverses and ensembles of abstract worlds |
| 19:21.31 | TekDroid | https://imgur.com/gallery/rnh1MEp This is very clever. |
| 19:21.44 | OluapWorker | Well he did try it on Angazhar once so his obsession with lava buckets was canon |
| 19:21.49 | OluapWorker | I guess that`s one thing I gotta reference |
| 19:22.05 | Xho | Angazhar - '''R U DUM''' |
| 19:22.27 | OluapWorker | Koluap - ye but u is GET IN THE BUCKET |
| 19:22.58 | Xho | Uh |
| 19:22.59 | OluapWorker | I also have a problem regarding the Fog War |
| 19:23.05 | Xho | What kind of Mammal would a Bear person go under |
| 19:23.08 | Wormy_away | Actually, I've thought it over. There must be an infinite number of everyone. We are determined by the laws of physics and so it couldn't be otherwise. Thus, there is no mystery to our existence |
| 19:23.10 | OluapWorker | I don`t know how the good guys are supposed to beat the bad ones |
| 19:23.13 | OluapWorker | Xho: Carnivore |
| 19:23.22 | Xho | Deus Ex Plot |
| 19:23.40 | OluapWorker | I don`t wanna have to use a Deus Ex Machina cause dats cheap |
| 19:23.44 | Wormy_away | We have always existed in some timeless, platonic and even multiversal sense. |
| 19:23.47 | OluapWorker | The original war had one and it sucked gorilla dong |
| 19:23.58 | Ghel | OluapWorker: If Koluap is the Greatest Bucket, he can fill himself with lava and throw himself at the bad guys. |
| 19:24.09 | OluapWorker | That`s just silly |
| 19:24.15 | OluapWorker | Even for Koluap`s standards |
| 19:24.26 | Ghel | You're right. |
| 19:24.36 | AdmiralPanda | This is why Chekov |
| 19:24.37 | Ghel | There are far too may bad guys; it would be too time-consuming. |
| 19:24.43 | Xho | http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/3/3d/KorhusnRaces.png/revision/latest?cb=20150129192412 BEAR PEOPLE |
| 19:24.54 | OluapWorker | beary gud |
| 19:25.13 | Hachiman | Ooh sweet |
| 19:25.26 | OluapWorker | The villains are too powerful compared to the heroes. The main protagonist is a regular mortal and the main antagonist is a demon god |
| 19:27.37 | Hachiman | You do not necessarily have to fight the main antagonist to win |
| 19:27.51 | OluapWorker | You do in this case |
| 19:27.51 | Xho | Shu - shoo |
| 19:28.06 | Xho | That was by far the worst joke I have ever done |
| 19:28.08 | OluapWorker | Not killing Shu means he`ll just make more demons to throw at everyone |
| 19:28.11 | Xho | I'm gonna hide now |
| 19:28.21 | Hachiman | But he survives anyway |
| 19:28.30 | OluapWorker | He dies in the end |
| 19:29.27 | *** join/#sporewiki Tek0516 (~TekDroid@24.114.89.65) |
| 19:35.11 | Ghel | If the antagonist-protagonist power ratio is too high, then your options are either something happens that increases the power of the protagonists, or something happens that decreases the power of the antagonist. |
| 19:35.41 | Ghel | Would either one of those be a more reasonable area to think about than the other? |
| 19:36.12 | *** join/#sporewiki TekDroid (~TekDroid@24.114.89.65) |
| 19:36.22 | OluapWorker | The latter I guess |
| 19:42.29 | Ghel | So then, as far as I can see it (note that I'm not the best when it comes to creative thinking): either the antagonist has some kind of exploitable weakness, or something arises that gives the antagonist some kind of exploitable weakness. |
| 19:43.40 | OluapWorker | I`ll have to think of something |
| 19:44.24 | OluapWorker | Empowering the protagonist is out of the question since Jerkon is not supposed to be a strong fighter |
| 19:45.00 | Ghel | Yeah; this is so vague it might not be helping, but I'm trying to include all options, which I hope is better than no options. And even this technically includes options that are out of the question: the latter category includes dei ex machina, for example. |
| 19:45.24 | Imperios | Who mentioned lesbians |
| 19:46.08 | OluapWorker | Oh no you`re helping |
| 19:46.31 | OluapWorker | Don`t worry about it. I`ll just have to figure out how to make it work |
| 19:47.34 | Hachiman | Well doesn't Jerkon have friends/allies who are also powerful |
| 19:48.01 | Ghel | If you go for the something-gives-him-a-weakness option... if some powerful Essence-based demon-god-affecting device were to be discovered or invented, it could be woven into the plot, e.g. by attacks on the excavation site or research facility, making it more like a Chekov's gun than a deus ex machina. |
| 19:48.04 | *** join/#sporewiki TheImperios (~Imperios@95.140.92.52) |
| 19:48.32 | OluapWorker | That`s an idea |
| 19:48.44 | TheImperios | OluapWorker: You're thinking of how to make the Corruptus a threat? |
| 19:49.00 | OluapWorker | I`m thinking of how Jerkon & friends can kill Shu |
| 19:49.04 | TheImperios | Oh |
| 19:49.25 | TheImperios | Exploitable weakness is a possibility |
| 19:49.35 | OluapWorker | Hachiman: He does but since he`s the main protagonist he should at least contribute to it instead of letting them do it for him |
| 19:49.52 | OluapWorker | The original war was "revive Rhigeo and let him kill Shu for us", and that sucked |
| 19:50.19 | TheImperios | Or perhaps the characters could merge with the Realm of Dreams and gain a portion of its powers |
| 19:50.38 | OluapWorker | I don`t want to empower them though |
| 19:50.42 | TheImperios | Right |
| 19:50.54 | OluapWorker | It doesn`t fit the characters |
| 19:51.01 | OluapWorker | What I can do is depower Shu somehow |
| 19:51.18 | TheImperios | Dracos are scientists |
| 19:51.33 | Hachiman | Perhaps you could have Jerkon use his smarts to find a way to counter/depower Shu |
| 19:51.36 | OluapWorker | Jerkon is not supposed to fight more than somewhat being able to shoot agun |
| 19:52.20 | TheImperios | Studying a supernatural entity then somehow finding its weak point and then destroying it using this knowledge can work |
| 19:52.22 | OluapWorker | See that works fine in theory but the power difference is too immense |
| 19:52.33 | Hachiman | brb dinner |
| 19:52.42 | TheImperios | Could even set up a theme |
| 19:53.12 | TheImperios | Rationality prevailing over the supernatural |
| 19:53.20 | OluapWorker | That`s an idea |
| 19:53.54 | OluapWorker | I`m planning to come back to the Fog War soon so you ought to get yourself involved too |
| 19:55.03 | TheImperios | Replicating Dream Energy in a lab and then making superconcentrated Dream lava so that Koluap could throw a bucketload of it on Shu is a possibility |
| 19:55.26 | OluapWorker | Jesus christ |
| 19:55.54 | OluapWorker | It`s not something you can replicate but I suppose the Dracs could invent something with similar properties |
| 19:56.08 | TheImperios | Artificial Thoi Themek? |
| 19:56.16 | OluapWorker | Yeah |
| 19:57.02 | TheImperios | Works for me |
| 19:57.07 | OluapWorker | It wouldn`t be as effective as the actual Essence but it would still cause a lot of pain on Corruptus demons |
| 19:57.19 | OluapWorker | The Indocs would probably still use it to this day |
| 19:57.44 | TheImperios | You could actually lampshade how crazy SporeWiki's setting is |
| 19:58.29 | TheImperios | Like showing Dracogonarious scientists studying a Corruptus demon's body and then several characters noting just how strange it is to believe that everything can be rationally explained in a world full of supernatural |
| 19:58.29 | OluapWorker | How`d you mean? |
| 19:58.44 | TheImperios | And then having Jerkon retort |
| 19:58.58 | OluapWorker | Jerkon - shit`s weird |
| 20:00.49 | OluapWorker | Anyway gotta go home bai |
| 20:16.03 | Xho | TheImperios Hachiman: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/a/a3/TalmyrRegionMap.png/revision/latest?cb=20150129201543 This is sorta what I consider to be the Talmyr region |
| 20:16.21 | Hachiman | dats huge |
| 20:16.21 | Xho | Note most of it is centre is uninhabited |
| 20:16.24 | TheImperios | That's a lot |
| 20:16.32 | TheImperios | Oh so they're thinly spread |
| 20:16.45 | Xho | Well we haven't established a lot for the second continent so perhaps Talmyr is one of the regions |
| 20:17.09 | Xho | Yeah there's only two notable civilisations that live in Talmyre |
| 20:17.12 | Xho | Talmyr* |
| 20:17.18 | Xho | The Orayu and the Dalmiric Kingdom |
| 20:17.29 | Xho | It's open to having a lot more in there |
| 20:17.48 | Hachiman | I wanna set up a power or two in the southern part of the Western Continent |
| 20:17.54 | Xho | set it up in dere u dunce |
| 20:18.03 | Hachiman | need ideas first u fukwit |
| 20:18.14 | Hachiman | What is the south supposed to be like again |
| 20:18.21 | Xho | Brazil |
| 20:18.29 | Hachiman | And what is Brazil like |
| 20:18.36 | Xho | Amazon |
| 20:18.48 | Xho | u fukwit |
| 20:19.02 | Hachiman | So much of the south is jungle and rainforest then |
| 20:19.08 | Xho | Note that most of the Lindworms live in that region as well |
| 20:19.11 | Xho | Yeah |
| 20:19.19 | Xho | Talmyr is not the safest region in the world |
| 20:20.19 | Xho | I think Oluap intends the Lindworms to live in that region anyway |
| 20:20.25 | Xho | Talmyr is basically Dark Magic Central |
| 20:21.31 | Xho | I mainly put the Orayu and Dalmiric Kingdom together because it sounded illogical to have the two in separate regions of their own |
| 20:21.45 | Xho | Especially when they're fairly close together |
| 20:22.17 | Hachiman | I was thinking that the south part of the WC once belonged to ancient reptilian Aztec satanist precursors who eventually either got fucked over, fucked themselves other, or both and now live underneath the continent, most of them regressed to pretty much tribal lifestyles in the shadow of their empire |
| 20:22.32 | Xho | Shiarchon - heheheheh |
| 20:23.52 | Hachiman | Another idea I had for the south part of the WC was a macrohive of ant people that is divided into many smaller hives that pay fealty to one overruling hive |
| 20:24.29 | Xho | You should make them crab people |
| 20:24.31 | Xho | CRAAAB PEOPLE |
| 20:24.44 | Hachiman | crabs in da amazon |
| 20:25.02 | Hachiman | hao |
| 20:25.03 | Xho | Great band nae |
| 20:25.04 | Xho | name |
| 20:25.16 | Xho | u touch urself at nite dats hao |
| 20:34.39 | TheImperios | Hachiman: We have enough precursors as it is, so I think ants are a better option |
| 20:35.02 | Xho | I've established that the world 'Tálmyr' is Dalmiric for 'forest' |
| 20:35.18 | Xho | Although Talmyr is a mix of a few environments |
| 20:35.49 | Xho | So the Dalmiric Humans are basically 'Forest Humans' |
| 20:35.57 | Hachiman | Imperios: If there were no precursors on the WC then what would have existed there before we started coming up with shit |
| 20:36.07 | Xho | Caligaduro hur |
| 20:36.12 | Hachiman | non |
| 20:36.18 | Xho | Not even kidding it's probable |
| 20:36.42 | Xho | Well Caligaduro's presence was strong in the Talmyr region until it went to shit |
| 20:40.10 | TheImperios | Hachiman: ..True |
| 20:41.23 | Hachiman | It makes no sense for there not to be precursors |
| 20:42.25 | AdmiralPanda | What came before the precursors? |
| 20:42.40 | Ghel | Preprecursors. |
| 20:42.52 | Xho | Or Anteprecursors |
| 20:43.17 | AdmiralPanda | My point is, what says the races that exist aren't the races that will eventually be precursors to something else? |
| 20:43.35 | Hachiman | Because that is implying NOTHING existed on that CONTINENT before now |
| 20:43.57 | AdmiralPanda | So what came before the precursors? |
| 20:43.59 | Hachiman | An entire CONTINENT and life just apparently springs up in the Old Age or something |
| 20:45.23 | Hachiman | Probably older precursors, dunno |
| 20:45.44 | Xho | A 300,000 year old history |
| 20:45.49 | Xho | There was probably a lot of precursors |
| 20:47.42 | Hachiman | If the Western Continent is younger than the Eastern Continent then I might understand better but otherwise it makes no sense |

| 20:48.29 | Ghel | Hello. |
| 20:48.32 | Hachiman | Hai |
| 20:48.39 | Xho | Hachiman: The Orayu have been on the Western Continent for at least 50,000 years |
| 20:48.51 | AdmiralPanda | I give up, my point was that if you go back far enough you either get evolution or spontaneous creation, either of which could explain why there wasn't any civilised life on the continent before these races |
| 20:48.52 | OluapPlayer | Hi |
| 20:49.15 | Xho | And Kaicaiusarin's presence was there as well, so I'd guess the Western Continent is as old as the rest of Koldenwelt |
| 20:49.27 | Ghel | While it's possible for a continent to be uninhabited by any civilisations, and there does have to be a first race - which I think is Panda's point - that's a long time for it to remain uninhabited when there were civilisations just across the water back in the Prehistoric Age. |
| 20:49.35 | Hachiman | And I understand that point but it just does not sit right with me why an entire landmass would remain uncultivated with life until recent |
| 20:50.14 | OluapPlayer | What's going on |
| 20:50.22 | Xho | Precursors on the Western Continent |
| 20:50.31 | Xho | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Planet:Koldenwelt/Talmyr Also I've done a bit of this |
| 20:50.38 | Hachiman | But no if people do not want precursors for the Western Continent even though that makes no sense then I won't make any |
| 20:50.46 | Xho | I don't mind |
| 20:51.59 | OluapPlayer | I guess the Lindworms kinda count as precursors |
| 20:52.07 | OluapPlayer | They've been around since Siivhahzin died |
| 20:52.42 | Ghel | Hachi's specifically thinking about precursors for the southern part of the continent. |
| 20:53.58 | TheImperios | Well TBH |
| 20:54.40 | OluapPlayer | Oh god why is there tea in the juice jar |
| 20:54.52 | TheImperios | Not every continent has to have an ancient advanced civlisation |
| 20:54.53 | OluapPlayer | This makes no sense |
| 20:55.05 | Xho | [20:54] <@OluapPlayer> Oh god why is there tea in the juice jar Is that a euphemism |
| 20:55.09 | Xho | cuz dat strange |
| 20:55.12 | Hachiman | Right so no precursors for Western Continent then |
| 20:55.15 | OluapPlayer | It's not |
| 20:55.17 | Hachiman | Okay |
| 20:55.20 | OluapPlayer | There's tea in the juice jar |
| 20:55.35 | Xho | So what's a juice jar because it certainly not a British thing |
| 20:56.43 | OluapPlayer | Think this http://www.p-wholesale.com/upimg/13/55a2/water-jar--jug-gs5316-160.jpg with tea inside |
| 20:56.54 | Monet | We call that a pitcher |
| 20:56.54 | Xho | eh |
| 20:57.04 | Xho | Oh a pitcher that makes sense |
| 20:57.05 | Hachiman | It's called a pitcher? |
| 20:57.11 | Xho | Tea pitcher |
| 20:57.19 | Wormy_away | A bar that sells juice and nothing else was what I thought. But then I thought, was it real juice, concentrated juice, or squash? |
| 20:57.20 | Monet | Dat a lot of tea |
| 20:57.20 | Xho | A British person would hang draw and quarter the person responsible |
| 20:57.33 | Xho | TEA IS BLOOD |
| 20:57.35 | Xho | BLOOD IS TEA |
| 20:57.43 | OluapPlayer | Regarding precursors I think the West needs its share of them but not before the regions are specified |
| 20:58.16 | Wormy_away | I would call that a jug :P |
| 20:58.40 | Hachiman | So absolutely NO civilisation present on the Western Continent until NOW were advanced, even though the Western Continent is probably as old as the Eastern one |

| 20:59.12 | Wormy_away | But then my vocabulary is seldom posh. |
| 20:59.22 | OluapPlayer | That makes no sense and makes the west bland in comparison to the east. It deserves to have its own history |
| 20:59.32 | Xho | You're a northerner, saying posh is linguistically sacrilegious |
| 20:59.42 | Hachiman | Exactly, that is what I was saying |
| 20:59.49 | Hachiman | But nobody wants any more precursors it seems |
| 21:00.08 | Monet | Austrailia. |
| 21:00.23 | Xho | Sesquipedalian loquaciousness is for the southerners |
| 21:00.46 | Ghel | Imp and Panda are the only two who have said anything against it. |
| 21:01.09 | Xho | I'm sorta neutral to it |
| 21:01.10 | AdmiralPanda | The only thing I was against was the idea that there had to be a line of precursors going all the way back to the dawn of time |
| 21:01.27 | Xho | The line of precursors is kind of odd on Koldenwelt |
| 21:01.58 | OluapPlayer | Mind you, precursor doesn't have to mean "SUPA DUPA ADVANCED BIG DONG MAGIC" |
| 21:02.08 | Xho | I won't mention Orichalcum Elves because they're what Oluap just said |
| 21:02.14 | OluapPlayer | There's no reason there couldn't be small but influential civs in the past |
| 21:02.45 | Ghel | There only need to be races on the western continent during the same times that there were precursors on the eastern one. |
| 21:02.48 | Xho | OluapPlayer: So I take it the Lindworms inhabit the Talmyr region then |
| 21:02.58 | OluapPlayer | Seems to be the case |
| 21:03.07 | Xho | For how long so I can add it to the page |
| 21:03.33 | OluapPlayer | Since around 265,000 BNA |
| 21:03.54 | Hachiman | Ugh I have made myself look childish now |
| 21:04.05 | Hachiman | Sorry for bringing it up, I had no idea people disliked the idea |
| 21:04.12 | Xho | I'm kind of netural to it |
| 21:04.34 | Xho | It's logical to have precursors but it's sort of ngh to call them precursors |
| 21:04.46 | *** join/#sporewiki TekDroid (~TekDroid@24.114.89.65) |
| 21:04.48 | Hachiman | Well if it comes before something else |
| 21:04.49 | OluapPlayer | We call them something else then |
| 21:04.51 | Hachiman | It is a precursor |
| 21:04.56 | Xho | Ancient dominant civilisation might work since there's a lot of precursors on Koldenwelt |
| 21:04.57 | OluapPlayer | Like ancient culture or whatever |
| 21:05.02 | Ghel | I still don't see people disliking the idea. |
| 21:05.31 | Xho | We can say that the Romans were the precursor civilisation to Britain and that was 2,000 years ago |
| 21:05.44 | Xho | Imagine how many precursors have existed on Koldenwelt if we used the same principle |
| 21:06.13 | Xho | Of course we have elves that can live 2,000 years but the idea is that precursor isn't the right word to use |
| 21:06.25 | Hachiman | Why is it not |
| 21:06.45 | Xho | Because Koldenweltian civilisation has been in full swing for 300,000 years or so |
| 21:07.23 | Hachiman | So it is wrong to call the Orichalcum Elves precursors then |
| 21:07.31 | Xho | I don't call them precursors |
| 21:07.56 | Xho | There's likely been hundreds of precursor civilisations and thus the word precursor sounds a bit too common |
| 21:08.09 | Xho | If we said Ancient Culture or something it stands out a bit more |
| 21:08.22 | Hachiman | We can literally use any other word and we would have the same problem |
| 21:08.38 | Xho | Well you can't knock it until you try it |
| 21:11.16 | Technobliterator | Is the problem that there's an entire continent with no ancient civilization as opposed to one with many civilizations? |
| 21:11.21 | Xho | All I'm saying is I don't think we can apply common terminology to something that isn't particularly logical |
| 21:12.11 | Technobliterator | well, it's not completely unreasonable to have a continent without one; you could say that one continent simply did not have any races which formed civilization due to the surrounding environment and the evolution of creatures around it |
| 21:12.30 | Technobliterator | there could just be circumstances which prevented one from forming |
| 21:12.37 | Hachiman | I'm just not going to bother |
| 21:12.39 | Ghel | Jo: the problem is with an entire continent remaining uninhabited when there's an inhabited continent just a short distance away across the water. Even if no races evolved there, colonisation should occur. |
| 21:12.52 | Technobliterator | Right |
| 21:13.30 | Ghel | It only takes one race out of many to build boats and found a colony. So it makes things more varied to just stick some ancient cultures (or precursors, if you prefer) on the western continent instead. |
| 21:13.45 | Hachiman | People got up in arms about it, including myself, so there's no point to it plus I am probably going to be too busy or lazy to establish anything anyway |
| 21:13.57 | Hachiman | Like the rest of my fiction |
| 21:14.09 | Technobliterator | But that's only uninhabited by sentient creatures, it doesn't mean there was no life there |
| 21:14.50 | Xho | Obviously needs some sleep or something |
| 21:14.52 | Technobliterator | I don't think it's completely unreasonable to say that there were no precursors, if that's the issue |
| 21:14.57 | Technobliterator | yeah, I think he's tired |
| 21:15.24 | Xho | I'm not against the idea in theory |
| 21:15.37 | Xho | I mean the civilisation would be long dead and gone |
| 21:15.56 | Ghel | I'm not sure if anyone is. It looked like people were just arguing "is it necessary?". |
| 21:16.25 | Technobliterator | I'm not against the idea. I just say that there's no obligation to fill this void, so going out of your way to try and fill it doesn't necessarily end well, if that's the only reason such a race would be created. |
| 21:16.27 | Xho | Well I imagine it's for aesthetics than the idea of being necessary |
| 21:16.51 | Xho | Most of my fiction is aesthetics and doesn't serve a purpose but to polish something half-relevant |
| 21:17.00 | Technobliterator | again, I think Hachi's just tired and worn out honestly, he's got shitloads of college work to do |
| 21:17.23 | Xho | No disrespect to Hachi but college work can be managed no matter the workload |
| 21:17.31 | TheImperios | Hachiman: Here's a thing |
| 21:17.34 | Xho | He's gone hur |
| 21:17.35 | TheImperios | An idea |
| 21:17.37 | TheImperios | Dammit |
| 21:17.41 | Technobliterator | That is very easy to say when you're not at college. :P |
| 21:17.44 | Xho | boy u like internet explorer |
| 21:17.50 | Ghel | You can still tell us the idea if you like. |
| 21:17.50 | Xho | I did college for two years |
| 21:18.18 | Technobliterator | "boy u like internet explorer" |
| 21:18.20 | Technobliterator | rofl |
| 21:18.34 | Wormy_away | lol |
| 21:18.55 | Technobliterator | ugggggggh, I wish I knew how to fucking structure this piece of shit essay |
| 21:18.57 | Wormy_away | Well, college work ontop of everything else too you have to think about |
| 21:19.06 | Xho | Technobliterator: Well what's it about |
| 21:19.26 | Xho | There's not much to think about at 18 years old |
| 21:19.27 | Technobliterator | It's for Music Technology, I have to write an essay explaining about my composition |
| 21:19.42 | Xho | Technobliterator: erm I might be able to help |
| 21:19.48 | *** join/#sporewiki odell (~dpessimis@unaffiliated/drom) |
| 21:19.52 | Technobliterator | It's meant to explain what I did and why I did everything for a couple questions |
| 21:19.54 | Technobliterator | ok so |
| 21:20.08 | Xho | My musical knowledge doesn't traverse academically but I might be able to help |
| 21:20.14 | odell | Playing as a Human outsider in Dwarf fortress' adventurer mode. |
| 21:20.17 | Wormy_away | Depends what kind of life you are living, I guess. Not age. But i know what you mean. |
| 21:20.19 | Xho | Do they give you any criteria for the homework |
| 21:20.20 | Technobliterator | e. Effects and processing applied to the sounds used in composition: |
| 21:20.25 | odell | Being 'attacked' by dingo men. |
| 21:20.25 | Technobliterator | f. Describe MIDI editing or shaping used to musically enhance the piece: |

| 21:20.48 | Knight_Alien | Hello |
| 21:20.52 | Xho | Hi |
| 21:20.59 | Technobliterator | in these I'm meant to explain each of my recorded tracks, all the automation and shit |
| 21:21.05 | AdmiralPanda | That just sounds like standard state-and-describe to me, what's the problem? |
| 21:21.12 | Xho | Technobliterator: I suppose when you talk about things like that I'd go back to basic musical theory such as dynamics and timbre |
| 21:21.53 | Wormy_away | Think of the relationships and build a hierachy to explain |
| 21:22.04 | Technobliterator | The problem mostly stems from the fact that, if I'm describing one of my tracks, I have to describe it twice, once for each question, and it will end up cluttered as fuck |
| 21:22.15 | Technobliterator | And I don't really know how to explain, y'know, the actual music part :/ |
| 21:22.22 | TheImperios | So... what did Hachi saY? |
| 21:22.24 | Xho | I don't really know what the parameters are for explaining composition in music and how liberal you can be with it |
| 21:22.32 | Technobliterator | this is for coursework, btw |
| 21:22.50 | Technobliterator | it's Music Technology, so the questions are more about how I created each sound than how I wrote the piece |
| 21:22.54 | Xho | I mean if the music has intervalic properties then explain that |
| 21:22.59 | Xho | Oh right |
| 21:23.10 | Technobliterator | And that's the part that confuses me |
| 21:23.15 | Xho | Well do you have the piece saved still |
| 21:23.30 | Xho | So what kind of sounds did you use in it |
| 21:23.30 | AdmiralPanda | So to put it in layman's terms, the knobs you turned to make the music sound the way it is? |
| 21:23.49 | Technobliterator | how the fuck do I explain how I wrote my piece and what each part represents if it's asking me something else :| |
| 21:23.53 | Technobliterator | well, I suppose so |
| 21:24.02 | AdmiralPanda | Then answer the question directly |
| 21:24.07 | odell | There were 5 of them and I was alone. As a naked human with a copper dagger and spear. But the funny thing is, they just stood there and chatted with each other. While one of them stayed with them and remained aggressive against me. http://i.imgur.com/eiEILU5.png |
| 21:24.19 | Xho | If it's music technology I guess you have to explain the software behind it and what you did to create such sounds |
| 21:24.21 | AdmiralPanda | from what I see, segment E just asks for statements of what you did |
| 21:24.27 | Technobliterator | yeah, it's basically asking how I created the desired sounds, but I'm confused because I have a distinct feeling that it should be asking me what I created my sounds for |
| 21:24.38 | AdmiralPanda | If it doesn't ask you, it doesn't ask you |
| 21:24.45 | Xho | Yeah |
| 21:24.49 | Technobliterator | hm, alright |
| 21:24.53 | AdmiralPanda | unless it stated somewhere in the criteria that you have to justify the reasons at every step, you don't have to |
| 21:25.01 | Xho | So if it's a snyth you used I guess that would be to do with equaliser and what kind of wave you used |
| 21:25.07 | Technobliterator | I'll just tackle it literally then, I guess |
| 21:25.09 | Xho | like sawtooth/sine or something else |
| 21:25.10 | Technobliterator | thanks guys ^.^ |
| 21:25.17 | Wormy_away | odell: Is that game just text something |
| 21:25.30 | AdmiralPanda | np, I came from science- we had to do experiments to justify the decisions we made in the actual experiments :P |
| 21:26.10 | odell | Wormy_away: Yes. But text-based graphics too. I've also another screenshot, lemme upload it. |
| 21:26.10 | Xho | Technobliterator: If you're going along those lines you might want to outline each element of what you used to create the piece |
| 21:26.23 | Xho | Such as instruments and effects |
| 21:26.53 | AdmiralPanda | I think for one of my assignments I had to do four individual experiments just to determine one factor of the main experiment. That was fun |
| 21:26.55 | Xho | Then describe what kind of methods you used to manipulate the sound with the general tech jargon |
| 21:27.07 | odell | Wormy_away: like this, http://i.imgur.com/AAfCYYe.png |
| 21:27.15 | odell | The yellow 'd's are the dingomen. |
| 21:27.35 | Xho | I couldn't get my head around DF |
| 21:27.48 | Xho | I'm not patient enough to concentrate |
| 21:28.16 | Wormy_away | odell: How does a game like that have such powerful stories that you post up? |
| 21:28.24 | AdmiralPanda | Xho: I'm into roguelikes and I couldn't get into it either, it's impenetrable |
| 21:28.31 | odell | Dwarfs being dwarves. |
| 21:28.38 | odell | Drawves* |
| 21:28.51 | Wormy_away | I'm sure its complex but it sounds like a more typical game |
| 21:29.30 | AdmiralPanda | The main thing holding back DF is the fact that it's so inaccessible, only a niche few players are able to get into it at all |
| 21:30.48 | odell | I think I'm going to YOLO against these 5 dingomen. |
| 21:31.24 | odell | I haven't progressed so much as an Human Outsider though. I made a dumb start, starting at a human camp out in middle of nowhere. |
| 21:31.33 | odell | And that's how the giant lion comes in. |
| 21:33.16 | odell | Maybe they have a reason to not attack me. |
| 21:34.01 | TekDroid | I tried DF once but couldn't figure out the controls |
| 21:34.48 | Monet | I've managed to set up a few outposts myself. |
| 21:35.24 | Monet | The greatest moment in any of my experiences is watching six wrestlers punch a cyclops to death. |
| 21:36.13 | odell | I personally think that DF isn't one of the ordinary games you usually hear of. http://i.imgur.com/ckWUCYb.png |
| 21:36.17 | Wormy_away | But there is no animation in it but ASCII-like text and symbols, right? |
| 21:36.45 | Monet | Wormy_away: That's right |
| 21:36.59 | Monet | There is great potential for imaginatio as a result |
| 21:37.00 | Wormy_away | Is this a game that requires your... Your i m a g i n a t i o n ? |
| 21:37.11 | Wormy_away | I see] |
| 21:37.13 | AdmiralPanda | odell: That's because it's not. It's an impenetrable niche game that won't make it into general gaming in its current condition |
| 21:37.54 | Monet | That story about the cyclops. While in the game it looked like six dwarves around a cyclops, I fondly imagined those dwarves were climbing all over him punching, kicking and biting |
| 21:37.55 | Wormy_away | Monet, odell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbPWe9U4uPU |
| 21:37.59 | odell | Ah crap, mortal wound. |
| 21:38.42 | Wormy_away | I hope they weren't biting. |
| 21:39.20 | Monet | Xho: I'm looking on the list of bevereges on your random things page |
| 21:39.33 | Monet | There's only one drink you or I didnt' create lol. |
| 21:40.00 | odell | Wormy_away: They are punching me. All of my attacks are miss. |
| 21:40.10 | Xho | Our aliens are alcoholics |
| 21:40.35 | odell | Oh he did bite. |
| 21:41.37 | Monet | Xho: Draconis - That's not true. Did I ever tell you that...I love you...? |
| 21:43.18 | Wormy_away | I have found an epic track. I've heard one like it before but this is better |
| 21:43.20 | odell | He ran away. |
| 21:43.22 | odell | Thank god. |
| 21:43.36 | Wormy_away | http://youtu.be/Ym8JjY4fy-M?t=9m35s |
| 21:44.55 | Monet | Xho: Actually considering that it's rude ot turn down a draconis' offer of a blend bewed by their own house, you might be onto something. |
| 21:45.08 | Monet | its' considered rude* |
| 21:45.20 | odell | Dead. My lung was heavily bruised, death through suffocation. |
| 21:45.58 | odell | That was fun. |

| 22:14.05 | ImpyDroid | *accemt |
| 22:14.09 | ImpyDroid | *accent |
| 22:14.34 | Monet | I'm half-northern yes |
| 22:14.44 | ImpyDroid | You were raised in Oxfordshire weren't you? |
| 22:14.49 | Monet | I was |
| 22:15.03 | Wormy_away | odell: Does "bogger" mean anything to you? |
| 22:15.05 | Monet | I think I do have an RP accent |
| 22:15.21 | Wormy_away | Some Northern English words are Scandavian descended |
| 22:15.25 | Xho | Well I just saw a picture with the caption "Don't wear rings in industrial construction.", proceeds to be a man's hand with his left ring finger skinned to the bone |
| 22:15.26 | odell | Wormy_away: Why wouldn't it? |
| 22:15.43 | Wormy_away | *Scandanavian |
| 22:16.05 | Monet | My dad's spent so long in the south he doesn't have a Yorkshire accent like his mother, father or brothers |
| 22:16.19 | Xho | And in the background the peeled sheath that was the skin on his finger |
| 22:16.29 | Xho | And remaining flesh by the looks of it |
| 22:16.51 | odell | Even if I squeeze all of the air my lungs capable of through the nose. It sounds more like toned down vaccumer on reserve. |
| 22:17.37 | odell | Basically. The generic sound of wind blowing. |
| 22:18.20 | Wormy_away | Supwiye? |
| 22:19.18 | Wormy_away | "wassock" is the best insult |
| 22:19.58 | Wormy_away | Pronounced "wazzerk" |

| 22:20.07 | Ghel | Hello. |
| 22:20.11 | Wormy_away | hi |
| 22:21.11 | Monet | ImpyDroid: I just remembered you've heard my voice befor |
| 22:21.36 | odell | The best way to insult Stockholmers is to joke about how well they preform during winter. |
| 22:22.30 | odell | Thrust me, they are terrible on taking care of the snow. |
| 22:22.52 | Monet | I remember one time coming back from Yorkshire and my dad joked that we could tell we wer eback in the south because we drove past someone driving while on their mobile. |
| 22:23.03 | odell | Once a snowflake lands on the concrete sidewalk. The whole city goes full panic mode and every citizen faint. |
| 22:24.23 | Wormy_away | But you are big strong Nords! |
| 22:25.47 | odell | You are no longer a nord when you live inside a busy city like New York. |
| 22:26.29 | Monet | I think that's why Northerners call southerners soft: Mild winters, little snow, and we al llive in big cities. |
| 22:26.37 | odell | For they drive around in ridicously low cars. Drives buses and trains only suitable for warm climates. |
| 22:27.51 | Wormy_away | Monet: Don't forget the fact that we supply the goods, the wool, the meat, the coal, the limestone, the lead. And the cotton. |
| 22:28.05 | Wormy_away | Between between 1700 and 1970 anyway |
| 22:28.21 | odell | Central and Southern parts of Sweden, with exception of the Baltic coast on the east side of Scania and up to Stockholm, are terrible on taking care of the snow. |
| 22:28.41 | Wormy_away | And how could I foreget Sheffield steel? |
| 22:28.58 | odell | I don't know about Ãland and Gotland though. But they never complain. |
| 22:29.57 | Wormy_away | Monet: We laugh that you southerners get taxed for using water and panic when its Summer. We have all the water we can get |
| 22:30.34 | odell | >water tax |
| 22:30.39 | odell | bitch please |
| 22:30.54 | odell | Groundwater masterrace |
| 22:31.08 | Wormy_away | ^ |
| 22:32.01 | odell | The water distributed by the city where I live smells weird and has a shitty taste of metal. |
| 22:32.20 | Wormy_away | It was northerners running this country all along. We dug into the lifeforce of this island. And yet you southerners still insult us |
| 22:32.25 | odell | So I drink bottled mineral water and milk instead. |
| 22:33.18 | odell | And oh. Bombard myself with parfyme and decorant. Like I've some germphobia. |
| 22:33.50 | Monet | Northerners may provide the raw materials, but we sotherners turn it into the lifeblood of capitalism. |
| 22:33.51 | Wormy_away | Imagine all the moulds and bacteria that grow in taps |
| 22:35.45 | Ghel | I'm going to go now. Bye! |
| 22:35.51 | Liquid_Ink | Bye! |
