00:02.34Wormy_Some man on TV said he has "swam through nuclear waste"
00:03.07Wormy_He was on this show where a famous angler goes searching for monster idh
00:03.13Wormy_fish
00:03.46Wormy_This bloke got attacked by a lamprey, said he had never been afraid and listed all these achievements like nuclear wasye
00:03.54Wormy_I can't take that seriously
00:03.56Wormy_honestly
00:04.09Wormy_Why would you swim through a radioation poisonised lake?

00:10.36AdmiralPandahi all
00:10.54TekDroidHello
00:15.01AdmiralPandaTekDroid: Some time we really should play Space Engineers again
00:15.15TekDroidIndeed.
00:15.24HachimanAdmiralPanda: Due to complications involving the workplace and schedule, Oluap is only going to be able to run games on Sunday from now on
00:15.31HachimanAnd hai
00:15.47HachimanOh and also means he will only be able to play games on Sunday as well
00:16.03AdmiralPandaHachiman: That is only a problem if it means we start later than usual
00:16.13HachimanSunday is a free day for him
00:16.20HachimanWhich really means we can start earlier
00:16.26HachimanSince he does not work Sunday
00:17.14AdmiralPandaexcellent

20:17.55Wormy_wtf?
20:18.01DrodoEmpireshrugs
20:18.03OfficerJackalNow it is a candidate for deletion.
20:18.04OfficerJackalLOL>
20:18.07DrodoEmpireAlready earmarked it for deletion
20:18.44DrodoEmpireProbably just some bad troll or something
20:19.26GhelThe source of the problem is http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/Content:Grimbolsaurians
20:19.26Wormy_I kind of want to move it and keep it, its funny in a flawed sort of way
20:19.53GhelPresumably, the editor found a red link to the page and thought it would be a good idea to make it blue.
20:20.37DrodoEmpireSounds like a reasonable explanation
20:21.12Wormy_Part of me wants to delete, but there is a voice saying I should assume good faith and there is nothing actually wrong with it
20:21.30Wormy_Perhaps I will ask the user to change the name a little bit
20:21.45DrodoEmpireIsn't it part of a nonexistent namespace?
20:21.56DrodoEmpireI've never seen "Content" as a namespace before
20:22.00Wormy_I can be be either very soft or very evil depending on the mood
20:22.15Wormy_"Content" used to be the old fiction space
20:22.22DrodoEmpireRight. :P
20:22.33Wormy_The user probably created the page when he/she saw a red link
20:22.47GhelAnd even older, before Spore was released, was the "Concept" namespace.
20:22.49Wormy_As Ghewlae said
20:23.11DrodoEmpireRight
20:24.28Wormy_Writing a message to him
20:26.18GhelYou should probably also get rid of those links unless you want it to happen again.
20:29.39TechnobliteratorWormy_, do you still want http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/System:Chilius_system ?
20:29.53TechnobliteratorI've removed the links other than that page, btw
20:31.03Wormy_Yes, I'll keep it
20:31.12Wormy_Maybe add some real content
20:44.58Wormy_I might redesign the Chilius system
20:45.16AdmiralPanda"Sage, you stole my displays!"      "What, no I didn't- I've been running around the base babbling in German for the last ten minutes!"
20:46.38Wormy_I have always been fascinated with world-building out of realism since I was a young child.  I think between 11-12 I used to write sketch books about planetary science (my truest interest perhaps) and I would invent extra-solar systens
20:47.09Wormy_I created one (still rather fanciful mind you) system which I named Mirenton
20:47.16DrodoEmpireAh
20:47.39Wormy_The SporeWiki fiction shares its name but not its likeness
20:47.55DrodoEmpireI've always been interested, at different times or levels, in science, science fiction, and history; Probably explains a bit about the Drodo, anyhow. XD
20:49.18AdmiralPandamy science fiction interest has always been in transhumanism more than anything else
20:49.26Wormy_Some of my fiction is inspired by childhood stories and battles I used to play out with action figures and model vehicles and spa\ceships
20:50.15Wormy_I don't think I ever stopped playing in a way, thanks to Spore and SporeWiki
20:51.17AdmiralPandawhich reminds me, I really should get that transhumanism story started

21:30.06odellThough, most of them are about giant labelling in tile at the bottom of swimming pools.
21:30.36odellSame joke, though different story.
21:30.46XhoShould I give a definitive population number for the Legion of Shiarchon
21:31.06odellOne can dream.
21:41.37XhoWell I've given the Shiarchon a currency
21:41.44XhoCalled the 'Adravaelic nomismata'
21:43.24GhelI imagine the Shiarchon are the sort of organised people who would take a detailed census every now and again. Athough they may not care so much about counting some of their slave races.
21:44.28XhoI'd imagine the national census would take place in stages
21:44.47XhoSince Praetors are given lordships over a portion of Abyssus I'd imagine that the Imperator would task them with doing it
21:45.05XhoImagining is good
21:45.45*** join/#sporewiki PandaMechanicus (3aa5c702@gateway/web/freenode/ip.58.165.199.2)
21:46.49XhoThe population of the empire ranges between 20 to 45 million so the Praetors would have their work cut out for them
21:46.59XhoThat is counting the slave populace
21:48.47XhoFor the term 'Adravaelic nomismata', nomismata is Latin for 'coinage' and Adravaelic I guess would be the demonym for a resident of the Legion
21:48.56XhoThough it would more than likely refer to just the Shiarchon
21:49.07DrodoEmpireThat's pretty high for what is really the middle ages/early renaissance era, don't you think?
21:49.35XhoThe Roman Empire had a population of almost 60 million by 30 BC
21:49.41DrodoEmpireWell, I guess the largest RL nations at that time had similar populations
21:50.00DrodoEmpireMing China had something around that number; More maybe
21:50.06DrodoEmpireNevermind then yeah
21:50.43XhoThe Shiarchon being the second stage of a ~290,000 year old civilisation, well if they didn't have a multi-million population they'd have been doing something wrong
21:51.09DrodoEmpireYeah by the early 1400's Ming had some 65 million
21:51.16DrodoEmpireEh true
21:53.22XhoThere is around 50 - 100 individual races under the Shiarchon's rule as well
21:53.51DrodoEmpireRight
21:53.54Xho15,000 years a civilisation they'd have likely conquered and demolished many civilisations over that course
21:54.27XhoOr usually in the Shiarchon's case, enticing them with dark sparkly magic
21:55.09GhelIf you're going to entice someone with dark magic, you'd better make it sparkly.
21:56.34XhoI've also taken to calling the Shiarchon 'Novum Imperium Dryadalum' in Old Tongue as a means of mocking the Sovereignty of Dryada
21:56.41XhoOr their means
21:57.00XhoYou know I'm not too sure why they're called a Legion
21:57.07XhoThey're an empire by most accounts
21:57.26XhoWell I suppose their name in Dark Elvish covers that
21:58.32Wormy_http://imgur.com/gallery/CjYA6
21:58.35GhelIt might be a name used mostly by their enemies, or those who consider them to be a threat.
21:58.47XhoSounds like it would be
21:59.01XhoSo Archipelagan is Spanish right
21:59.14GhelWith the added irony that, if I'm reading it right, their using the name "Shiarchon" means that they're calling the Legion "enlightened".
21:59.33GhelYes, Archipelagan is Spanish.
21:59.52GhelWell, I think I wrote one word of it, and that was "Archipieleganos".
22:00.36GhelArchipielaganos*
22:00.38XhoMakes sense to me
22:01.32GhelUnfortunately, I never really learnt Spanish. I wanted to do it alongside French (which I did take) at GCSE, but there weren't enough other people in my year at my school who did, so it was cancelled.
22:01.39GhelI ended up doing Geography instead.
22:01.56Xhoew
22:02.28XhoI guess the 'Legion of Shiarchon' in Archipelagan would be 'Imperio de Los Ilustrados' if taken literally
22:02.47XhoOr 'Imperio ilustrado'
22:03.34XhoI have no clue how I'd make 'Shiarchon' a Spanish word
22:04.31GhelYeah. Since the Archipelagans probably had little contact with the Shiarchon before the War for the Eye, calling them "enlightened" might not be particularly unusual.
22:07.33GhelThey may not even have known that the Shiarchon are Caligaduro-worshippers. For that matter, since they didn't colonise the Archipelago until after the end of the Adamantine Age, they wouldn't even have had any idea about Caligaduro being underneath their homes.

22:16.58XhoWell
22:17.58XhoAt least she managed to get the idea that dolphins and squirrels are in the same class of animals
22:18.02XhoJust not reptiles
22:19.42DrodoEmpireMaybe there's more of an argument for eugenics than I thought.

22:50.13TekPCI just found an interesting rant from one of my professors online. XD
22:53.25TekPCThough maybe not humourous since it's about how badly he's getting scammed by the university. XD (A legitimate complaint in his case though.)

23:17.17MonetHello
23:19.06Monethttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction%3ADraconid_Imperium/Organisations would anyoen be interested in adign to this list?
23:19.11Monetadding*
23:19.27XhoI dunno how I could
23:20.28MonetThe bulk of the list is intended to be corporations based within
23:21.31*** join/#sporewiki Liquid_Ink (79d016b9@gateway/web/freenode/ip.121.208.22.185)
23:22.24MonetFinance firms, manufacturers, PMCs, energy firms, trading groups, that sort of thing.
23:23.17XhoI'd gather it would only be DI organisations though
23:23.28XhoIf I put a Kicathian organisation in there it doesn't seem like it would fit
23:24.21MonetThe defining point is that the comapnies listed have corporate headquarters in Imperial space
23:25.03MonetNot all these organisations were founded and built up by Draconis, like Valle Astroengineering which I think I had predating the Kroogvon's provincehood.
23:25.12XhoRight
23:26.21Xhohttps://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/1965063_1322744207772766_2971588964295171544_n.jpg?oh=a73da3bdb27e99cdd2677ebbd201511c&oe=5567D122&__gda__=1431455915_c959633a986d644c3fbcf956a1aff092
23:29.35MonetPerhaps a company or two from the Kicathian Enclave?
23:31.30XhoPerhaps
23:32.53MonetDoesn't have to be structly Kicathian though unless that's what they're like; Utopis was founded by a Draocnis but it's current CEo is a Terratrix
23:34.12XhoI can't remember what we agreed with that
23:34.26XhoWas the Enclave overseen by the Draconis or the Kicath
23:34.48MonetKicath
23:35.38XhoHm that would definitely place a lot of unrest between whether the Empire or Remnant have custody of it

23:36.02GD12Hi
23:36.02MonetWait by "overseen" do you mean who has claim over the enclave?
23:36.08XhoYeah
23:36.22MonetLet me double-check
23:37.55MonetI think the Imperium still oversees them
23:38.04MonetI was thinking of changing the Provincial Council to be populated by alien reps rather than Draconis reps.
23:38.20MonetBut the Imperium would still place Draconis as advisors.
23:38.50XhoMust be difficult socially
23:39.14DrodoEmpireI might be interested in adding a Drodo company
23:39.46XhoIt's a bit like the Chinatown of the Draconid Imperium
23:39.51GD12what are we talking about?
23:40.10MonetGD12: I asked if anyone would be interested in creating a DI-based company
23:40.35XhoYou go into a massive neighbourhood full of things you can't read
23:40.40GD12Hachiman would probably volunteer a Gigaquadrantic wide brothel
23:40.49GD12*start
23:40.59TekPCMaybe I'll add a Farengeto company.
23:40.59XhoThough I'd imagine being in Andromeda the Kicath would have multilingual notices
23:41.07GD12iirc don't  we assume everyone has universal translators for logged languages/
23:41.12MonetXho: Draconis - Fuk dis Y can't u use Dracid.
23:41.28XhoGD12: Kicathian is an annoying language for translators
23:41.35TekPCDracnid(TM)
23:41.37GD12automated translators
23:41.48XhoEven for automated translators
23:41.59GD12hao dis
23:42.13TekPClive translated Kicathian convseration - *word followed by several seconds of silence*
23:42.24GD12lol
23:42.53GD12i mean the nsa or cia is actually working on algorithms for sarcasm detection
23:43.02GD12so it can't be too difficult to translate something with lots of samples
23:43.18XhoIn most cases Kicathian almost steps into the territory where you need a particular set of vocal apparatus to speak it
23:43.43XhoI'd imagine translators would have certain dialects of Kicathian covered
23:44.17XhoBorealis Kicathian most likely since it has the least amount of inflections
23:44.19GD12but the semantics of it could be understood right?
23:44.31XhoMore or less
23:44.41GD12if there is no problem with the semantics then i think a universal translator wouldn't have a problem
23:44.53GD12given that a universal translator would probably have the mechanisms to replicate any set of vocal chords
23:44.54XhoThe most complicated end of Kicathian has 344 individual sounds
23:44.55GD12for the listener
23:45.18GD12dat a lot
23:45.38XhoI think I theorised that Kicathian could potentially emulate any language in the universe given a certain parameter
23:45.47XhoIn terms of pronunciation
23:46.14GD12i think the variation of sounds one can make is more than 344 depending on what the definition of a distinct sound is
23:46.26GD12but yeah 344 is definitely a lot
23:46.34GD12Xhodoctospeak - 344 ^ 344 344 times
23:46.41GD12distinct sounds
23:47.09Xho344 overall, 326 in the Milky Way dialect compared to the Borealis dialect's 66
23:47.40DrodoEmpireDrodo - ima just learn the borealis dialect bruh
23:47.40TekPCXhodoctospeak - sounds defined by 0.00001 Hz in 0.0000001s intervals
23:47.52GD12lol yeah
23:48.25XhoThere's also grammatical structure, writing systems, honorific systems and having to discern synonyms as well
23:48.30TekPCOr whatever the quantum wavelengths and times are. :P
23:48.52GD12i c
23:49.04GD12TekPC : Planck time intervals
23:49.08XhoThe Kicathian writing system is basically the same way how Japanese works
23:49.13GD12ngh thats complex
23:49.15XhoAlien kana and alien kanji
23:49.17GD12conjugating all dat shit
23:49.23TekPCI know the units, I just forget the sizes. :P
23:49.33GD12kek
23:49.36GD12wait
23:49.38GD12TekPC?
23:49.40MonetGD12: I think this is why Xho said translators may havep roblems
23:49.41GD12not TekDroid?
23:50.02MonetGood thing AGC translators translate by reading brain patterns.
23:50.03TekPCMy phone died. :P
23:50.24GD12Yeah that probably works, I'm just an automated anything nut
23:50.31TekPCI got to my first of two consecutive lectures and had 7% battery. XD
23:50.31XhoAlso the Kicath also tend to have a varying grammatical structure and their synonym count is generally considered impractical to a human
23:51.01XhoWhat I usually put down on the wiki is the most basic form of Kicathian
23:51.04GD12how many words to the kicath have for kill lol
23:51.15DrodoEmpireDrodo - ayy too many words lmao

23:52.00TekPCI have Space Engine. :D
23:52.04DrodoEmpire^
23:52.05DrodoEmpire:3
23:52.26XhoI'd reason it to saying the Kicath have a highly advanced part of the brain that deals with language processing
23:52.26GD12i don't sadly
23:52.27TekPCI should upload those fiction planet images I took the other day. >.>
23:52.27GD12what is it
23:52.43MonetFor those wishing to add comapnies the
23:52.51TekPCIt's a free procedurally generated Space simulator.
23:52.53DrodoEmpirehttp://en.spaceengine.org/
23:52.58DrodoEmpireayy space engine lmao
23:53.11GD12I see you've been on 4chan DrodoEmpire
23:53.14GD12hur
23:53.35XhoThere have been attempts by Kicath to form a 'basic form' of Kicathian in order for foreigners to speak and have translated
23:53.37DrodoEmpireNah. XD Just had that on the brain recently
23:53.40DrodoEmpireDunno why
23:53.47OfficerJackalayy lmao
23:53.50DrodoEmpireayy lmao
23:53.55XhoFor the most part one exists but Kicath don't usually adhere to it when speaking
23:54.10XhoSimply put it, most Kicath are dicks
23:54.21TekPCEven has the warped space. (I forget the science-y term. XD)

23:54.39GD12wow i c
23:54.46MonetFor those wishing to add comapnies the page, stuff I'd reccomend to include I would say are: Summary of cmapny's specialisation, it's extent, where it came from and a brief history-summary thing. And if you like, current reputation.
23:55.04TekPChttp://i.imgur.com/BboFtK6.jpg This is one I took from a neutron star the other day.
23:55.22DrodoEmpire^ Yeah SE's graphics are beautiful
23:55.28MonetTekPC: Gravitational lensing
23:55.30GD12noice
23:55.47XhoSo the basic solution to the Kicathian language problem is that the Kicath learn the languages of others
23:56.04GD12Physics is tuff
23:56.20GD12I don't have to take any physics though wierdly
23:56.28TekPChttp://i.imgur.com/GGT9I5O.jpg This is a planet orbiting a star inside a nebula. (the planet is supposed to be dark in image, part of fiction plans. :P)
23:56.38GD12is it free?

23:56.59DrodoEmpireolol
23:57.11XhoThere's also cryptic orthography the Kicath use in private governmental situations and can be punishable by death for trying to interpret it
23:57.16TekPCdamnit guys. :P
23:57.22DrodoEmpireayy
23:57.36GD12ficiton lecture
23:57.50GD12lmao
23:57.53XhoAgents tend to have the characters of said language inscribed on their armour as an identity process

23:58.17GD12My school offers student run seminars on the analysis of pornography
23:58.22TekPCO.o
23:58.30XhoBut yeah Kicathian language = not a computer's cup of tea
23:58.41Wormy_There is an epic track in SE I'm trying to find (SE players will know which one I;m sure), they're all good but this one stands out in epicness
23:58.50GD12even on reading naturo
23:58.54GD12Xho : makes sense
23:59.23MonetXho: Well at least computers in the fictionverse are powerful enough to make the Crey-2 look like a pocket calculator.
