| 01:45.26 | DrodoEmpire | collapses, cursing under his breath |
| 01:45.37 | Monet | Eleielord, sorry |
| 01:45.38 | External | I would say E, but Kolossus is not a Corruptus |
| 01:45.47 | External | I odn't think so anyways |
| 01:46.04 | DrodoEmpire | F) Mussolini |
| 01:46.10 | Vincent20100 | A? |

| 01:47.07 | DrodoEmpire | Dark EIGHT, Monet |
| 01:47.16 | DrodoEmpire | Check your facts |
| 01:47.22 | Monet | But no the real answer is A: Laidar. |
| 01:47.30 | DrodoEmpire | So picky. |
| 01:47.49 | External | Wait, but what about Kolossus? (Who I am not even sure is a Corruptus) |
| 01:48.04 | Hachiman | He "was" a Corruptus |
| 01:48.05 | Monet | He was one of the original Dark Five |

A) Everyone turning into cheese B) The destruction of five minor empries at once C) A rift in the fabric of hyperspace D) The aftermath of the LEZIAPETSSHIT E) Medusa throwing up i nsadness |
| 01:56.13 | External | Just shoot in random directions. I have to hit something. |
| 01:56.22 | DrodoEmpire | You hold one pistol, firmly, with two hands. |
| 01:56.31 | DrodoEmpire | Nope. You'd be surprised. |
| 01:56.41 | Vincent20100 | Monet: LEZIAPETSSHIT... |
| 01:56.43 | DrodoEmpire | Shooting guns is a tough business. *Especially* pistols. XD |

| 01:56.57 | DrodoEmpire | Hachi: oh yeah |
| 01:56.59 | External | NO A |
| 01:56.59 | Vincent20100 | C? |
| 01:57.04 | Monet | Vincent20100: A genuine Tyranny superwepaon |
| 01:57.27 | DrodoEmpire | I've only really handled pretty small guns, but aiming down a six-shooter (or any pistol) is pretty difficult. |
| 01:57.50 | External | Ultimate weapon of destruction. The vehicle it's mounted on (The Tiamat) is fairly terrible though. |
| 01:58.08 | External | A tiny, 22 pistol then |
| 01:58.08 | DrodoEmpire | The sights don't just *line up* as with a long-gun. :p Takes a steady hand |
| 01:58.36 | DrodoEmpire | Principle is the same... :p |
| 01:59.07 | Monet | ION time |
| 01:59.59 | DrodoEmpire | Assuming you're even right/ |
| 02:00.43 | Monet | The answer is... |
| 02:00.48 | Monet | C |
| 02:00.54 | Monet | Point to Vincent |
| 02:01.11 | External | Vincent20100: Imagine...."WE'LL BLOW YOU UP WITH OUR LEZIASPETSSHIT! DON'T MAKE US DO IT!" |
| 02:01.33 | Monet | And that is the end of the round |
| 02:01.59 | External | I still win. |
| 02:02.01 | Hachiman | A round on me lad |
| 02:02.20 | Hachiman | lads even |
| 02:03.32 | Monet | Tallying the scores |
| 02:03.45 | Monet | VInce and external tie with 4 points |
| 02:03.55 | External | >:) |
| 02:04.01 | DrodoEmpire | I win, of course |
| 02:04.12 | Monet | Drodo: You only got two points |
| 02:04.17 | External | gets all up in Vincent20100s face and slaps him repeatedly |
| 02:04.22 | Monet | So we have a tiebreaker |
| 02:05.02 | DrodoEmpire | Apparently you missed my brilliant answers elsewhere |
| 02:05.42 | External | Nice try.. |
| 02:06.03 | DrodoEmpire | Well yes it was considering I won |
| 02:06.07 | DrodoEmpire | Quite a nice try really |
| 02:06.41 | External | This would be a nice music for the machine apocalypse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OTsAUXrEBI&list=PLD5994077BEB484D9 |
| 02:06.48 | External | Background music anyways |
| 02:06.51 | Monet | VIncent20100 External The tiebreaker question is thus: Laurenne Maxime lost her life to what? A) Rocks B) A missile C) angry baguette-wielding protestors D) Coalition supersoldiers E) A transporter malfunction |
| 02:07.19 | External | Hmm.... |
| 02:07.19 | DrodoEmpire | C. |
| 02:07.59 | External | B or E |
| 02:08.05 | External | Roll a dice. |
| 02:08.09 | Hachiman | Dying to a transporter malfunction must be horrifying |
| 02:08.16 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 02:08.31 | External | B |
| 02:08.35 | DrodoEmpire | Depends on the nature of the malfunction what the victim sense I guess |
| 02:08.36 | Wormy_ | C |
| 02:08.44 | DrodoEmpire | *senses |
| 02:08.53 | External | D |
| 02:09.04 | Monet | External: Pick one |
| 02:09.05 | Wormy_ | They used the baguette to capture her then put her on the gullotine |
| 02:09.06 | DrodoEmpire | If you teleport into a wall, then... Yeah that'd be horrific, and probably painful |
| 02:09.16 | External | D |
| 02:09.22 | External | *Probably* |
| 02:09.45 | Hachiman | Imagine getting teleported inside-out |
| 02:09.46 | External | I believe your insides would be mixed with the wall, as well as (maybe) tearing you in half |
| 02:09.58 | Vincent20100 | Back! |
| 02:10.02 | Vincent20100 | Monet give me a sec |
| 02:10.06 | Vincent20100 | I was watching tv |
| 02:10.13 | Vincent20100 | What's the question? |
| 02:10.33 | Monet | [03:06] <Monet> VIncent20100 External The tiebreaker question is thus: Laurenne Maxime lost her life to what? A) Rocks B) A missile C) angry baguette-wielding protestors D) Coalition supersoldiers E) A transporter malfunction |
| 02:10.34 | Vincent20100 | C, by a missile |
| 02:10.34 | Wormy_ | the worst transporter malfunction would be complete mass to energy conversion |
| 02:10.36 | DrodoEmpire | Hachi: Yeah... |
| 02:10.49 | Monet | VIncent20100: Missile is B |
| 02:10.53 | DrodoEmpire | That'd be disgusting |
| 02:10.55 | External | B |
| 02:10.58 | External | D |
| 02:11.00 | External | ;-; |
| 02:11.13 | External | D |
| 02:11.17 | External | I choose D |
| 02:11.22 | Monet | The answer is B. She died when a missile fro mthe surface accidentally collided with her shuttle. |
| 02:11.23 | External | Final answer |
| 02:11.27 | External | FUUUUUUUU |
| 02:11.29 | Vincent20100 | Missile B |
| 02:11.30 | DrodoEmpire | And honestly teleportation raises too many moral questions; And I feel that the new copy of you elsewhere would not have you... I dunno, your consciousness. |
| 02:11.52 | Wormy_ | I would have agreed with you once but now I'm no so sure |
| 02:11.55 | Monet | Vincent is the winner of the round |
| 02:12.01 | Vincent20100 | I don't like teleportation. It kinda break tge point of ships |
| 02:12.04 | Vincent20100 | YAY! |
| 02:12.08 | DrodoEmpire | Not actually |
| 02:12.17 | External | Hold on... |
| 02:12.18 | DrodoEmpire | Its electrically taxing and have distance limits |
| 02:12.38 | External | "With DCP troops within striking distance of French territory, Maxime attempted to flee the capital, only to be accidentally shot down by elements of the Karone National Guard which were under command of the Parliamentarians." |
| 02:12.48 | External | Charles_Murray: EXPLAIN THIS MADNESS |
| 02:12.49 | DrodoEmpire | ? |
| 02:12.51 | DrodoEmpire | No |
| 02:12.59 | DrodoEmpire | That isn't the explanation |
| 02:13.06 | Wormy_ | The thing I don't get about teleportation in sci-fi - its the ultimate weapon on an unshielded ship |
| 02:13.16 | DrodoEmpire | Like it'd be *you*, externally, they'd behave like you, and think like you and look like you, but I still don't know if *you*, your consciousness, would be inside |
| 02:13.21 | External | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Laurene_Maxime |

| 02:13.40 | DrodoEmpire | And it'd be just a very good impersonator, and not... Its hard to say |
| 02:13.56 | External | I still win. |
| 02:14.13 | External | What is the difference between Vincent201000 and Comrade_Vinny? |
| 02:14.17 | External | ABCD |
| 02:14.18 | DrodoEmpire | You get what I mean, I think |
| 02:14.19 | External | *ABC |
| 02:14.31 | Wormy_ | DrodoEmpire:I'll state the reason why I think that conclusion is either wrong. Or irrelevent. |
| 02:14.44 | DrodoEmpire | Alright/ |
| 02:14.56 | DrodoEmpire | I'm utterly uncertain myself so I'd like to hear your opinion |
| 02:14.59 | Wormy_ | Thats not to argue btw, I just have a different perspective now on determinism |
| 02:15.09 | Hachiman | GAY |
| 02:15.15 | DrodoEmpire | KYS |
| 02:15.17 | External | Brb |
| 02:15.18 | DrodoEmpire | :3 |
| 02:15.25 | Comrade_Vinny | Monet: KGB |
| 02:15.30 | DrodoEmpire | KKK |
| 02:15.55 | Comrade_Vinny | External Comrade_Vinny is when I'm doing commies' stuff :P |
| 02:16.42 | External | o |
| 02:16.46 | Hachiman | Aye KK |
| 02:16.48 | Monet | The next topic is therefore.... |
| 02:16.50 | Hachiman | KKK even] |
| 02:16.53 | Monet | The ANdromeda War |
| 02:17.04 | Wormy_ | If the copy was an exact physical copy, down to the last patterns in the brain, I would say that it doesn't what time sits between the teleportation. The transferred copy perhaps is you by any definition. This is not so weird when you picture time rather than a now that moves, to a discrete collection of nows all coexisting. Most of modern physics does away with the flow of time |
| 02:17.41 | DrodoEmpire | Huh... |
| 02:18.12 | Wormy_ | Indeed it calls into question whether every now we can define is either a copy, or whether saying that is isn't really relevant |
| 02:18.13 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah... Still |
| 02:18.30 | External | What would you rather do, spend a month facing your worst phobias, or send an hour with a Stalin-era KGB interrogator? |
| 02:18.34 | Wormy_ | I don't think the copy has to be exact either... Given that we change a little in life. |
| 02:19.01 | Wormy_ | Perhaps there is a phase space of definable "me's" |
| 02:19.13 | Wormy_ | rather than a point |
| 02:19.14 | Comrade_Vinny | Probably the KGB dude. |
| 02:19.21 | DrodoEmpire | But I dunno... Its hard to describe, but I feel it still wouldn't be you as in your consciousness. Whose to say your "soul" terminates, and a different consciousness, similar but not the same, takes over the teleported "copy"? |
| 02:19.49 | DrodoEmpire | So "you" have died, but an exact copy takes over while your consciousness... Floats in oblivion, or goes to an afterlife of some sort |
| 02:19.53 | DrodoEmpire | I dunno |
| 02:20.17 | Wormy_ | Your "soul" is an abstraction. Now I am a little biased by physicalism / realism and platonism, but perhaps your abstrat "I" is embedded by a certain set of of physical patterns |
| 02:20.20 | DrodoEmpire | I guess we'd have to know what happens after death in order to really formulate what happens in the event of teleportation |
| 02:20.47 | External | What are you talking about? |
| 02:21.05 | DrodoEmpire | I'm really not sure. I'm a very scientific person, and a staunch atheist. But I can't dismiss the concept of consciousness, or a so-called "soul" entirely. |
| 02:21.16 | DrodoEmpire | I'm not a philosopher so maybe I cannoy say |
| 02:21.23 | DrodoEmpire | *cannot |
| 02:21.49 | DrodoEmpire | Anyhow |
| 02:21.54 | DrodoEmpire | I do hope your right |
| 02:21.54 | Wormy_ | I'm thinking about this from the role of time in physics |
| 02:22.18 | Wormy_ | Here I'll show you a link that describes it better than I ever could |
| 02:22.25 | DrodoEmpire | I'd rather not be instantly killed when I have to use a teleporter, and let a "computer player" of sorts live the rest of my life. XD |
| 02:22.31 | Wormy_ | http://www.daviddeutsch.org.uk/wp-content/DiscreteAndContinuous.html |
| 02:22.45 | DrodoEmpire | Anyhow |
| 02:22.47 | Wormy_ | And he's a genuine physicist |
| 02:22.53 | DrodoEmpire | Worst phobias or interrogator |
| 02:22.55 | DrodoEmpire | Depends |
| 02:23.21 | DrodoEmpire | What happens after the interrogation? Why am I being interrogated? Is there a risk of punishment afterwards? |
| 02:23.47 | DrodoEmpire | Or is he just using the textbook techniques because I wanted to know what its like? :p |
| 02:23.58 | External | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T270UC0WPBU&list=PLD5994077BEB484D9&index=5 "Level Up!" |
| 02:23.58 | DrodoEmpire | (Which I don't by the way) |
| 02:24.23 | Comrade_Vinny | DrodoEmpire: I prefer the drowning simulation. |
| 02:24.26 | External | I can't explain. |
| 02:25.10 | DrodoEmpire | I dunno what exactly my fears and phobias are, but I'm sure a whole month of them would either drive me mad or make me literally fearless. :p |
| 02:25.46 | DrodoEmpire | Not a bet I'm taking. Hour with KGB dude seems like it'dbe mighty unpleasant but last a lot shorter of a time |
| 02:27.03 | Comrade_Vinny | What if I'm a KGB undercover agent? |
| 02:27.04 | Wormy_ | I'll conclude my view in summary: But essentially if time is either discrete (chunky) or continuous, the teleporter argument has frightening implicastions for both imo. Either its irrelevant, i.e. doesn't really matter (and so teleportation copying doesn't matter), or that it is true, but every "now" we experience is a a different version of us or our "soul", if you will |
| 02:27.25 | DrodoEmpire | :L |
| 02:27.28 | Monet | COmrade_VInny: The KGB has been dead for at most 25 years |
| 02:27.51 | DrodoEmpire | Right... |
| 02:27.58 | Comrade_Vinny | That's what they want you to think! |
| 02:28.02 | DrodoEmpire | I'll take a shuttle. :p |
| 02:28.28 | Wormy_ | I think I would still take the shuttle |
| 02:29.01 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah the risk just seems stupid-big for such a trivial convienience. |
| 02:29.10 | Wormy_ | Of course, if the teleporter was actually a "transport beam", then we are just sent through a man size wormhole in tact |
| 02:29.23 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 02:29.28 | DrodoEmpire | I'd like that. XD |
| 02:29.42 | Wormy_ | I think Sporewikian teleporters really work like that |
| 02:29.49 | Monet | Comrade_Vinny_: Well Russia is a federation now. Not a sovereign state |
| 02:30.13 | DrodoEmpire | Its like every time you drive a car you have a 50/50 chance of the dashboard exploding and killing you. :p |
| 02:30.18 | Wormy_ | Quantum mechanics and indeed the time it would take to reconstitute youy and simulate you accurately would take longer than the universe's age |
| 02:30.19 | DrodoEmpire | (for a teleporter) |
| 02:30.29 | Monet | So "Committee for State Security" is sliiightly iaccurate |
| 02:30.51 | Wormy_ | Also Star Trekkian teleporters would make a weapon that is far too easy lol |
| 02:31.06 | Wormy_ | Drop shields > beam crew out into space |
| 02:31.18 | Wormy_ | Or beam the engines out or something |
| 02:31.29 | DrodoEmpire | Well the thing is that it takes time to beam a large number of people |
| 02:31.32 | Monet | Haven't there been characters assassinated using malfunctioning teleporters? |
| 02:31.42 | DrodoEmpire | And transporters are *notoriously* finicky and unreliable in ST |
| 02:31.44 | Monet | In Star Trek |
| 02:32.07 | Wormy_ | Thats to cover up the plot holes they create |
| 02:32.13 | Wormy_ | anyway, goodnight |
| 02:32.15 | DrodoEmpire | If the winds aren't blowing right, then they're strategically and tactically useless. |
| 02:32.18 | DrodoEmpire | :p |
| 02:32.30 | DrodoEmpire | Suspension of Disbelief, and goodnight. |

| 10:44.18 | Liquid_Ink | If Earth was (or is, it's still pretty obscure) supposedly abandoned in the sporewikiverse, how do the space Muslims (and there are space muslims) do their pilgramige to Mecca? |
| 10:44.52 | Wormy_ | Space Mecca |
| 10:44.59 | Ghelae | It's not completely abandoned; I'm sure holy sites are still maintained. |
| 10:45.56 | Ghelae | One problem might be if the number of Muslims has increased significantly between 2015 and 2800... you might have trillions wanting to visit Mecca every year. |
| 10:46.08 | Wormy_ | Earth now has been recolonised after the Thal and TDP invasion |
| 10:46.38 | Wormy_ | Though an artificial Ice Age has covered the planet |
| 10:47.05 | Cyrannian | "Space Mecca" I lol'd |
| 10:48.11 | Wormy_ | An alternative is that sites of interest were lifted from the Earth, rock and all. Whether that is good enough to lift off a holy value is in the minds of the spiritual |
| 10:48.55 | Ghelae | It would be even worse for the Muslims of Orion's Arm: I don't think they could even visit Earth (especially ones tens of thousands of light years away from Earth and hundreds from the nearest wormhole with no other FTL, although they can at least live for an extremely long time), and even if they could I Mecca wouldn't still be there. |
| 10:49.41 | Wormy_ | I thought a snall group of pilgrims were allowed to walk on Earth in a controlled tour from the AI goddess |
| 10:50.10 | Wormy_ | But yes the Nanoplague destroyed much of its surface |
| 10:51.31 | Ghelae | Just reading up, yes, it looks like they can visit that part of the Earth, which was preserved. |
| 10:53.58 | Ghelae | But it looks like they also consider Gaia to be satanic, so had Mecca not been available that could well have influenced their religion in such a way to justify it. No such events happened in the SporeWikiverse that could have had such an impact, not least with only a few hundred years rather than nearly ten thousand having passed. |

| 12:35.00 | Wormy_ | But can the settlements rebel, like in the fall of Western Rome? |
| 12:35.16 | Monet | Not that i've seen. |
| 12:35.36 | Monet | Once you pacify them - either diplomatically or by force - they stay that way |
| 12:36.59 | Monet | diplomatic pacification involves a mission, military pacification involves attacking the village and rebuilding it. |
| 12:41.01 | Monet | A shame that when you conquer an enemy empire's city it becomes like yours. |
| 12:41.14 | Wormy_ | yeah |
| 12:42.03 | Monet | Could have been interesting to have Forgotten Lords soldiers (I do like them somewhat) marching alongside Argent Mage auxillaries |
| 12:42.17 | Wormy_ | It could make a good game though couldn't it? Rallying barbarians to your cause, but having to keep them happy |
| 12:43.06 | Monet | Its an interesting idea yeah |
| 12:43.30 | Monet | Buidling an emprei i nreall life is horrendously difficult |

| 12:51.25 | Monet | âHow can we be sure these are your territories? The DCP could have sent a star-map showing it was historically their space. |
| 12:51.36 | Wormy_ | They bombed every capital city instead |
| 12:51.47 | Wormy_ | as punishment |
| 12:52.24 | Ghelae | If they sent a star map the EoH may have simply declared it to be fake. |
| 12:52.58 | Wormy_ | lol |
| 12:53.21 | Wormy_ | I think the DCP had probably had decades of annoyance |
| 12:54.51 | Wormy_ | They could have kindly scooped up the colony but that just isn't their way |
| 12:55.20 | Wormy_ | The DCP needed to show the universe it was back |

| 13:00.47 | Wormy_ | hi |
| 13:02.12 | Monet | During the Cold War the United States had a habit of providing aid money to countries that wanted ot be capitalist (like Japan) but often used subversive tactics (such as backing the US-friendly autarch of Iran) to maintain itself as top dog |
| 13:03.12 | Wormy_ | indeed |
| 13:03.46 | Wormy_ | I think the world is a blooming runaway train |
| 13:04.05 | Monet | When the USSR tried to annex Afghanistan, the United States provided money and weapons to the emergent Taliban. |
| 13:04.16 | Wormy_ | There's no secret society at the top. They all failed |
| 13:04.59 | OluapPlayer | That's what they want you to believe |
| 13:05.01 | OluapPlayer | dun dun dun |
| 13:05.33 | Wormy_ | Its taking them a long time to exterminate 90% of the population |
| 13:05.54 | Monet | People rationalise secret societies ot explain why the world is so divided and so hellish. |
| 13:06.20 | Monet | Truth is it always has been. We didn't need some shadowy subversive power to do that. |
| 13:07.15 | Wormy_ | Countries and economies have tried to create order and sold us dreams of order, but its a giant collective myth |
| 13:10.15 | Monet | The rich in America tried to take advantage of the emerging dreams of Capitalism in Asia. But the result was one of history's great market collapses. |
| 13:14.14 | Monet | A group that really was fully knowledgeable of the economic systems of the world would surely have known that the faster an economic bubble expands, the more devestating the effects hwen it bursts. |
| 13:14.45 | Cyrannian | OluapPlayer: Did you see this? The appearance of Spinosaurus based on new fossil evidence http://static01.nyt.com/images/2014/09/12/science/12dino-1/12dino-1-articleLarge.jpg |
| 13:15.01 | OluapPlayer | I did |
| 13:15.19 | OluapPlayer | That's using a mash-up of various Spinosaurid species, it's not a single species |
| 13:15.25 | OluapPlayer | Therefore it's invalid |
| 13:15.51 | Ghelae | I remember there being a discussion about it on here a few weeks ago. Somebody - I can't remember who - came online and was rather unhappy about it. |
| 13:16.13 | OluapPlayer | They got some bones from smaller species, put them in and started "assuming" Spinosaurus was like that |
| 13:16.14 | Wormy_ | still looks badarse to me |
| 13:18.16 | OluapPlayer | It would look cool were it not for the manlet legs |
| 13:18.20 | Liquid_Ink | I was under the impression quadrapedal Spinosaurus had fallen out of shasion. |
| 13:18.24 | Liquid_Ink | *fashion |
| 13:18.47 | Cyrannian | It has been accepted by most palaeontologists as valid though and the previous version was based on far less evidence, simply superimposing some skull and fin fragments on the classic theropod posture |
| 13:19.03 | OluapPlayer | They're really fucking dumb then |
| 13:19.32 | OluapPlayer | You could do the same with say, get some bear bones from various races, put them together and claim prehistoric bears looked like that based on assumptions |
| 13:20.09 | Monet | If we had DNA evidence palaeontology would be a lot easier. |
| 13:20.36 | OluapPlayer | This is not valid until they find actual Spinosaurus aegyptiacus bones of that size |
| 13:21.06 | Monet | Unfortunately the fossilisation process tends to destroy DNA. |
| 13:21.59 | Wormy_ | The new Spinosaurus aegyptiacus however, appears to shed light on the possibility it was evolving to become a marine dinosaur, much like how Whales evolved. |
| 13:22.18 | Wormy_ | unfortunately its journey was cut short |

| 13:23.46 | Monet | We can get the genomes of mammoths, neanderthals and sabre-tooth cats because the bones we find are still bones. And in the case of mammoths and sabretooths we have frozen specimen |
| 13:24.35 | Monet | IIRC uncovered dinosaur bones are usually closer in composition to rock than actual bone. |
| 13:24.42 | Wormy_ | bbl |
| 13:25.08 | Ghelae | They are rock. That's what fossilisation is. Although it does seem that some traces of soft tissue have been discovered inside fossils. |
| 13:25.53 | Ghelae | Although I don't think having S. aegypticus DNA would make it particularly easier to determine its leg size. |
| 13:26.30 | Monet | It took decades to map the human genome and we're still years away fro mknowing what every known gene does. |
| 13:26.37 | Ghelae | aegyptiacus* |
| 13:26.46 | Cyrannian | The new reconstruction is a hypothesis, yes and we won't know for certain until we find a complete skeleton. Though since part of the leg bone was discovered, the reconstruction is more accurate than previous depictions of it |
| 13:28.04 | OluapPlayer | my spino is at least one t-rex large, thx |
| 13:28.08 | Cyrannian | http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/files/2014/09/spinosaurus-reconstruction.jpg - The bones coloured red are the ones that were found recently while I assume the other ones are from earlier samples or guesses based on other species |
| 13:28.27 | Monet | A complete skeleto nis always idea |

| 13:29.12 | OluapPlayer | Like it would waddle from side to side while walking |
| 13:29.13 | Monet | But like everything its also the most elusive as it requires every one of hundreds of bones to fossilise correctly. |
| 13:30.12 | Cyrannian | It was mostly aquatic so it probably didn't spend too much time on land |

| 13:31.56 | OluapPlayer | To me that mish-mash skeleton looks like a stretched-up dimetrodon and this is as bad as turning Pluto into a dwarf planet |
| 13:32.03 | Monet | Just a guess though - no muscle, little fatty tissue |
| 13:33.35 | Monet | Palaeontology is probably one of the most divided biological fields in the world. |
| 13:34.41 | Monet | Its just so difficult to know everything for sure. That's why the look of dinosaurs has changed so drastically in the past 25 years alone |

| 13:37.46 | Monet | The huma ngenome project caused a paradigm shift in the world of taxonomy -s species we thought were related were in fact not and species we didn't think were related turned out to be drastically similar. |

| 13:40.03 | Cyrannian | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrannosaurus#Skin_and_feathers - According to this, they probably had both scales and feathers |

| 16:28.53 | Ghelae | Hello. |
| 16:31.33 | Vincent20100_ | Yop! |
| 16:31.46 | Imperios | Monet: Did it ever happen to you that you spent weeks studying some subject and end up nearly failing because of some minor mistake, and then get an A from another teacher for a subject that you barely prepared? |
| 16:32.28 | Monet | Imperios: Can't entirely recall really. |
| 16:33.29 | Cyrannian | Hello dino! |
| 16:33.43 | OluapPlayer | Hey dino |
| 16:34.14 | drom | Imperios: Happened to me, save for the failing part. |
| 16:35.59 | Monet | Russian exams sound harsh if a minor mistake nearly jeapordised your ability to pass. |
| 16:39.22 | Vincent20100_ | Just write "Putin approuves of this answer" in the answer section and you will be fine. |
| 16:39.23 | Imperios | Well it didn't jeopardise it |
| 16:39.35 | Imperios | I just got a fairly low score |
| 16:39.36 | OluapPlayer | Cyrannian dino82_: Can we continue our story? |
| 16:39.53 | Imperios | Vincent20100_: Won't work, Russian universities are liberal as fuck |
| 16:40.19 | Imperios | Writing "Putin *dis*approves of this answer" would be a better idea |
| 16:40.27 | Vincent20100_ | Then tell Putin that the teachers are Ukrainian rebels |
| 16:40.44 | Vincent20100_ | You should get your new teacher by the week. |
| 16:42.14 | Monet | Knowing universities, such a lecturer is likely to be questionned rather than immediately fired. Or am I wrong? |
| 16:42.40 | Monet | In Europe at least, the idea of firing osmeone on the spot is frowned upon. |
| 16:42.47 | Imperios | You say it as if Putin has that power over universities |
| 16:42.55 | dino82_ | @Oluap: I thinkI can sure |
| 16:43.11 | Imperios | Some student put Stalin's photo on a V-Day wall newspaper |
| 16:43.24 | Imperios | Said photo ended up violently torn apart and mutilated |
| 16:43.46 | Monet | And the student who put it up? |
| 16:44.20 | Vincent20100_ | Yah, but does he want to go through a full interogatory with nice KG...FSB guys... |
| 16:44.21 | Imperios | I don't know who designed the wall newspaper hur |

| 16:56.36 | Imperios | A rich Arab wanted to marry his twelve beautiful daughters, so he called potential grooms and asked how many of them would they be able to satisfy. |
| 16:56.59 | Imperios | The German said "One.", so the Arab refused |
| 16:57.29 | Imperios | The Frenchman said "Four.", so he was refused as well. |
| 16:57.53 | Imperios | The Georgian said "Thirteen." The Arab raised his eyebrows and asked him to explain. |

| 17:05.02 | Imperios | "In Spain, I was on that festival called the Corrida. They set loose a big bull on the arena, while a guy stands before him and waves a red banner." |

| 17:18.37 | Imperios | An ancient Egyptian pyramid has been unearthed, but archaeologists cannot find out what pharaoh was buried there. American and British scientists tried to study the mummy from the pyramid, but their efforts was fruitless. |
| 17:19.20 | Imperios | The Soviet Union sends three KGB officers, who then enter the pyramid. |
| 17:19.42 | Imperios | The officers return in a few hours, tired but happy. |
| 17:19.55 | Imperios | "Did you find out anything?" - the scientists ask. |

| 17:20.44 | Wormy_away | HAHAHAH |

| 17:21.56 | Imperios | ...That's the variation of that joke yes |
| 17:24.17 | Imperios | "A man shouts on the Red Square: "Damn that moustached bastard for ruining our country?" An NKVD officer arrests him and brings him to Stalin. |
| 17:24.37 | Imperios | "Whom did you mean when you were saying this?" - Stalin asked. |
| 17:24.47 | Imperios | "Hitler, of course!" said the man. |
| 17:25.10 | Imperios | "Very well." Stalin replied. "And whom did *you* mean, officer?" |
| 17:27.12 | Monet | Imperios: Reminds me of a line from GTA V. There was this Nazi officer on this 50s cartoon guarding the gates to Vinewood. When he learns that a couple of people are trying to get in to look for COmmunists his response is "Commies? I hate those filthy Communists! They killed my father. In Stalingrad!" |
| 17:27.27 | Imperios | ...Hur |
| 17:27.46 | Monet | Bad taste but that's GTA |
| 17:28.49 | Imperios | "Young men and women are marching on an anti-religious communist demonstration, waving banners like "No to Christianity" or "Religion is the opiate of the masses". Among them is a much older man. |
| 17:29.32 | Imperios | One of the younger men asks him: "What caused you to disbelieve in Christ, sir?" |
| 17:29.54 | Imperios | "Well, I have always been against Christianity, may Allah damn them all!" |

| 17:43.26 | OluapPlayer | dun care |
| 17:43.39 | Monet | They ony really started doing that via the Taliban didn't they? |
| 17:45.01 | Imperios | Well they used religion to rally people to war since... well... the 8th century, but yeah they only started to explode recently |
| 17:45.42 | Imperios | Funny thing is, the explosive belt was actually invented and popularised by Tamils in India |
| 17:45.45 | Imperios | Or Sri Lanka |
| 17:48.32 | Monet | Though "Jihad" = "Holy war as encouraged by the Quran" is probably another misconception, then again Christians misunderstanding Muslim culture is nothing new at all. |
| 17:49.26 | Imperios | Well |
| 17:49.33 | Monet | People are right that the Quran does mention Jihad, But the meaning is wrong |
| 17:49.35 | Imperios | Jihad IS a holy war as encouraged by quran |
| 17:49.40 | Imperios | It just has other meanings |
| 17:49.48 | Monet | Jihad means "struggle" |
| 17:49.50 | Imperios | Well yeah |
| 17:50.17 | Monet | Which could mean anything really. Life's hard and we suffer though it. |
| 17:50.37 | Monet | But what maters is that we prevail against whatever odds we get. |
| 17:50.48 | Hachiman | ALLAH ACKBAR |
| 17:51.00 | Imperios | In Islam it usually means either "self-perfection" - as in the struggle against personal flaws, "enforcement of law" - as in the struggle against the flaws of society |
| 17:51.05 | Imperios | Or, as Hachiman said |
| 17:51.09 | Imperios | ALLAHU AKBAR |
| 17:51.33 | Monet | The struggle for self-perfection and the enforcement of law. |
| 17:52.09 | Monet | We are not so different |
| 17:52.50 | Monet | Basically calling a Jihad a holy war is like considering self-improvement a form of holy war. Which does sound a little silly. |
| 17:53.08 | Imperios | Well Islam in its core *is* more militant due to its origins |
| 17:53.32 | Imperios | But who said Europe is not militant either hur |
| 17:53.51 | Monet | Switzerland - We're not. |
| 17:54.06 | Imperios | Switzerland has cool soldiers |
| 17:54.27 | Imperios | The main difference between the two religions in that Christianity formed as a secretive cult in a falling empire that mostly opposed the government |
| 17:54.33 | Monet | Actually Switzerland being nonviolent is kind of ironic |
| 17:54.43 | Imperios | While Islam was formed as the religious foundation of a *rising* empire |
| 17:54.58 | Hachiman | Thus Islam is cooler hur |
| 17:55.19 | Monet | I recall Switzerland set a world record a few years back for "most guns owned per capita" |
| 17:55.21 | Hachiman | I prefer Sikhism myself though |
| 17:55.22 | Imperios | Hachiman confirmed for Allahu Akbar |
| 17:56.06 | Imperios | Actually from what I've read Medieval Arab history is kinda similar to either that of early Romans or the Mongols |
| 17:56.34 | Monet | Back i nthe late 2000s, there were two gusn for every Swiss citizen |
| 17:57.05 | Imperios | >be fucking irrelevant merchant/nomad people that nobody cares about surrounded by fancy civilised people |
| 17:57.15 | Imperios | >some guy comes and says FUCK THIS |
| 17:57.20 | Imperios | >unite |
| 17:57.26 | Monet | Imperios: And thus empire is born |
| 17:57.40 | Imperios | >fuck over the rest of your region |
| 17:57.53 | Monet | Yep |
| 17:58.07 | Imperios | >fuck over more civilised empires and steal their science and culture |
| 17:58.17 | Imperios | >become civilised and cultured and scientifically advanced yourself |
| 17:58.34 | Monet | Historically some of the most badass leaders in history were the ones who *founded* an empire. |
| 17:58.45 | Imperios | >another horde of angry nomad people come and fuck YOU over |
| 17:58.54 | Imperios | >the cycle continues |
| 17:59.18 | Hachiman | brb |
| 17:59.20 | Monet | Imperios: Actually I think England fits too. |
| 17:59.38 | Imperios | Sort of yes |
| 17:59.52 | Monet | Before the colonisation of the Americas, England was a teeny island partially isolated from continental politics |
| 18:00.47 | Monet | Spain became rich and powerful and thought it could claim England as part of it's empire. So it built a massive navy that ended up getting trorn apart by smaller ships part of a smaller navy. |
| 18:01.14 | Monet | With Spain's navy crippled, England picked up the slack. |
| 18:02.03 | Monet | The only difference was England wasn't completely insignificant. Just partially cut off |
| 18:02.39 | Monet | Then our empire got fucked over by Africans and Indians. |

| 18:04.31 | dino82_ | @monet: add to that, they could'nt overcome their rivals of the East Indian Trading Company and the Dutch Navies |
| 18:04.31 | Hachiman | Reminds me of an SRS Blackbird kinda |
| 18:04.44 | dino82_ | Europe had quite some powerful empires around that time |
| 18:04.56 | dino82_ | As well as France, they were heavily present as well |
| 18:05.40 | Monet | dino82_: Which East India Company though? |
| 18:06.21 | dino82_ | the Dutch one, they ruled the seas once around that time |
| 18:06.37 | dino82_ | (don't look at us now as small as we are but ah well............) |
| 18:07.06 | Monet | Oh yeah there was a lot of Indian and Indonesian sea trade. |
| 18:07.20 | Hachiman | qt dutch navy boys |
| 18:07.46 | Imperios | AYAYAYAYAYAAA |
| 18:07.52 | Monet | Iwas asking because at its height the British East India Company was in control of 2/3rds of the Indian subcontinent. |
| 18:08.10 | Imperios | Hachiman: Didn't the British Navy allow its members to have sex with each other? |
| 18:08.33 | Hachiman | I am not sure about that |
| 18:09.18 | Monet | The DUch were solid rivals I won't deny that. |
| 18:09.40 | Monet | The 18th and 19th centuries were indeed the age of empires. |
| 18:10.23 | Imperios | I remember reading somewhere that England's sodomy laws were rendered moot if a man spent 90 days at sea |
| 18:11.34 | Hachiman | Hm curious |
| 18:11.44 | Imperios | And that's how Hachi became a sailor |
| 18:12.02 | Monet | I admit was partially inspired myself by the VOC and the EIC when it came to the commercial prevalence of the DI's many corporations. |
| 18:12.56 | Imperios | That's actually kinda strange that Russia never had a large trade company like EIC |
| 18:12.59 | Monet | At its height the EIC was the one covering all the expenses in India. If not, there might have been a massive budget hole for Westminster to deal with. |
| 18:13.27 | Hachiman | British navy is full of athletic bara men in sailor outfits |
| 18:13.43 | Monet | Imperios: Might have been Russia's position. |
| 18:13.50 | Monet | location* |
| 18:14.02 | Monet | The EIC and VOC were primarily maritime organisations. |
| 18:14.06 | Imperios | Would make sense |
| 18:14.48 | Imperios | Communication in the Russian Empire was mostly based around rivers before the introduction of railroad |
| 18:15.12 | Monet | One of the things that made such a thing popular was that it allowed Europe to circumnavigate the Ottoman Empire's dominance over land trade with Asia |
| 18:15.37 | Imperios | So instead of removing kebab you decided to remove yourself *from* kebab |
| 18:15.47 | Monet | Prettymuch. |
| 18:15.50 | Hachiman | I know nothing of the Ottoman Empire and I feel as if I should |
| 18:16.03 | Imperios | They were the ultimate kebabs |
| 18:16.10 | Imperios | That's why they were removed |
| 18:16.32 | Hachiman | All I know is that Turkey is one of the prominent states that seceded it |
| 18:16.38 | Monet | http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/89/4789-004-2F86E60E.jpg well this was their extent for a start. |
| 18:16.41 | Imperios | Turkey IS the Ottoman Empire |
| 18:16.50 | Imperios | ...What remains of it |
| 18:16.59 | Hachiman | That is how much I know hur |
| 18:17.30 | Imperios | The prominent states that seceded it |
| 18:17.41 | Imperios | That would be pretty much all of the Middle East west of Iran |
| 18:17.46 | Imperios | And all of Southeastern Europe |
| 18:18.11 | Monet | For a time, the Ottoman Empire and the Islamic world were difficult to separate. |
| 18:18.42 | Imperios | Well the Ottoman Empire did not constitute the entirety of the Islamic world, as there was also the Shiite Iran |
| 18:18.56 | Imperios | And of course India |
| 18:18.58 | Monet | Hence why I said difficult. Not impossible. |
| 18:19.13 | Monet | India's iffy since you also have Hindusim and Buddhism |
| 18:19.13 | Imperios | And places like Samarkand but they accepted OUR GLORIOUS EMPIRE |
| 18:19.15 | Imperios | So they do not count |
| 18:19.18 | Hachiman | So Sunnis are Turkic |
| 18:19.29 | Imperios | Sunni is not a nation |
| 18:19.38 | Imperios | It's a denomination of a religion |
| 18:19.41 | Hachiman | I know I meant |
| 18:19.50 | Imperios | Well sort of |
| 18:20.01 | Hachiman | Sunnis were part of the Ottoman Empire instead of the Shiites |
| 18:20.03 | Imperios | The Ottoman Sultan was also the Sunni equivalent of the Pope |
| 18:20.16 | Imperios | Sunni = most of the Middle East sans Iran and Iraq |
| 18:20.43 | Monet | One of the reasons Iran and Iraq are divided is that their heads of state are of different denominations to each other. |
| 18:20.51 | Imperios | Only Iraq |
| 18:20.53 | Imperios | Iran is Shiite |
| 18:21.03 | Imperios | 100% Shiite I mean |
| 18:21.14 | Imperios | They're fucking Muslim hipsters |
| 18:21.27 | Hachiman | So the difference between Shiites and Sunnis is practically the same difference between Christian Catholocism and Protestantism |
| 18:21.29 | Monet | Yeah, Iraq is lead by a small group of Sunni leadership irrc |
| 18:21.36 | Imperios | More like Catholicism and Orthodoxy |
| 18:22.06 | Hachiman | I know little of Orthodoxy hur |
| 18:22.25 | Imperios | Like with Catholicism and Orthodoxy, it began as a conflict over who's boss |
| 18:22.28 | Imperios | Mostly |
| 18:22.47 | Monet | Orthodox christians were the ones who rejected the authority of the Pope, right? |
| 18:22.50 | Hachiman | I was raised in an atheist household so my knowledge of the differences between Catholicism, Orthodixy, and Protestantism is sparing |
| 18:23.02 | Imperios | Protestantism was more of a religious reformation thing so I think the Muslim counterpart to it would be either Sikhism or Baha'i |
| 18:23.07 | Imperios | Baha'i are cool fellas TBH |
| 18:23.15 | Imperios | Well basically |
| 18:23.39 | Imperios | Catholicism emphasise the authority of the Pope and, in religious matters, the importance of suffering in achieving salvation |
| 18:23.40 | Monet | The Byzantine Empire was historically Orthadox. There was quite a bit of tension between Rome and Constantinople. |

| 18:24.31 | OluapPlayer | reeeee |
| 18:24.50 | Hachiman | git out muh fukn channel normie |
| 18:24.55 | Imperios | And Orthodox Christians emphasise the authority of local Patriarchs and the importance of religious law in achieving salvation |
| 18:24.58 | Imperios | Also |
| 18:25.05 | Imperios | Orthodox Christians allow priests to have sex |
| 18:25.15 | Hachiman | Oh sweet |
| 18:25.16 | Technobliterator | Sikhism is definitely not an Islam reformation in the way that Protestantism |
| 18:25.16 | Technobliterator | dumbo |
| 18:25.39 | Imperios | Yes but Sikhism is based on Islam among other things |
| 18:25.46 | Imperios | As I said Baha'i is a better comparison |
| 18:26.04 | Hachiman | Isn't Sikhism based on Hinduism as well? |
| 18:26.08 | Imperios | Except that Baha'i are swell dudes and Protestants are intolerant bastards |
| 18:26.24 | Hachiman | Aye, Puritan bastards |
| 18:26.31 | Imperios | GOD HATES FAGS |
| 18:26.36 | Technobliterator | As do Anglicans |
| 18:26.37 | Technobliterator | But there are no significant differences that matter, really |
| 18:26.40 | Monet | ...I used to be protestant. |
| 18:26.58 | Imperios | You mean between different Protestant denominations? |
| 18:26.59 | Monet | Well, Anglican. |
| 18:27.18 | Imperios | ...Silly Europeans with their religious reformation |
| 18:27.51 | Monet | The main distinguishment is Anglicanism is rare outside of the UK and we consider th Queen as our head of faith. |
| 18:28.03 | Imperios | Well actually we did have a minor religious reformation too but it *won*, and those who did not accept it fled into Siberia |
| 18:28.12 | Monet | But aside from her the highest religious authority is the Archbishop of Canterbury. |
| 18:28.36 | Imperios | Swedes are Protestant right? |
| 18:30.21 | Monet | Most Nordic regions are, which is quite intriguing. |
| 18:30.35 | Hachiman | I find all this stuff both fascinating and kinda confusing hur |
| 18:31.04 | Hachiman | I mean I enjoy learning of religions and religious leadership and such |
| 18:31.17 | Monet | Its a lot to take in. |
| 18:31.26 | Hachiman | open-minded atheism is best atheism <3 |
| 18:31.26 | Imperios | They have fucking lesbian bishops |
| 18:31.44 | Monet | Hachiman: Agreed. |
| 18:32.17 | Monet | I have trouble standing "I am atheist therefore I am smarter" types. |
| 18:32.25 | Hachiman | Atheism that is not open-minded should just be deemed antitheism |
| 18:32.33 | Hachiman | Or general stupidity |
| 18:32.55 | Hachiman | Most people tend to forget that many fathers behind engineering and science were religious |
| 18:33.14 | Imperios | Yeah |
| 18:33.42 | Hachiman | In fact many scientists in the modern era still ARE religious |
| 18:33.56 | Monet | The Ottoman Empire wasn't the longest lasting emprei in history (it became rather stagnent by the late 1600s) but in its short time it is responsible for the current spread and possible state of Islam, as well as being one of the catalysts for westward expansion into the Americas. |
| 18:34.27 | Hachiman | Does this mean the expansion of the Ottoman Empire led to cowboys |
| 18:34.41 | OluapPlayer | FUCK ur cowboys |
| 18:34.50 | Hachiman | fuk u u fukn monkey |
| 18:34.51 | Monet | Sort-of. |
| 18:35.23 | Technobliterator | drom, congratulations |
| 18:35.23 | Technobliterator | You can now edit the MediaWiki pages yourself :o |
| 18:35.47 | Monet | As I said, for much of its history if you wanted to get to Asia you had two options: Travel through the Ottoman Empire or go oround Cape Horn. |
| 18:36.37 | Hachiman | I can only imagine what would have happened if Islam had reached Japan rather than Christianity |
| 18:36.52 | Monet | And being an empire, travelling though the Ottoman Empire meant dealig with bureaocracy and trade tariffs. |
| 18:37.02 | Hachiman | Then again, probably not much difference actually |
| 18:37.24 | Hachiman | Aside from Samurai incorporating explosive seppuku methods hur |
| 18:37.29 | Monet | So Westerners did what any self-respecting businessman does when he gets a bad deal: Leave and look for another one |
| 18:37.44 | Technobliterator | There are Christian terrorists as well |
| 18:37.55 | Hachiman | Well yeah |
| 18:37.59 | Hachiman | The IRA for one |
| 18:38.22 | Monet | Its because Islamic terrorists are in the current public scope |
| 18:38.25 | Technobliterator | And the ones who bomb abortion clinics |
| 18:38.43 | Technobliterator | It's because the media portrays them as the threat to hate right now |
| 18:38.48 | Monet | There haven't been IRA attacks for years |
| 18:38.56 | Technobliterator | They did for Communists back in the day |
| 18:39.21 | Hachiman | I doubt the IRA exists anymore |
| 18:39.24 | Monet | Technobliterator: The media loves nothing mroe than an entity to channel collective hate |
| 18:39.57 | Technobliterator | Exactly |
| 18:40.08 | Technobliterator | The Media, and the governmentn |
| 18:40.16 | Technobliterator | nope, IRA still exist |
| 18:40.43 | Technobliterator | if you look on Google Maps for catholic church locations in Ireland, you will find none |
| 18:41.01 | Technobliterator | they are purposefully hidden so people don't look them up to find places to attack |
| 18:41.05 | Hachiman | Huh |
| 18:41.40 | drom | Techno: Wot |
| 18:42.03 | Technobliterator | As, drom, grats on the promotion |
| 18:42.34 | drom | Nice! |
| 18:42.57 | drom | I'll deliever a hotfix: Change every font to Comic Sans |
| 18:42.58 | Technobliterator | So now you don't need to ask any of us to get it edited anymore |
| 18:43.03 | Technobliterator | hah |
| 18:44.16 | *** join/#sporewiki TheImperios (~Imperios@95.140.92.14) |
| 18:44.41 | Monet | I think the Ottoman Empire is also one of the reasons Turkey can sometimes feel like a mix of the MIddle East and Greece. |
| 18:44.49 | drom | I can as well add user-fonts and similar additions that doesn't need reviewal and such, when none of the admin is either online of available. |
| 18:45.11 | Monet | Greece and Hungary also have some mild Turkic influences i ntheir culture. |
| 18:45.50 | Hachiman | I wonder if Africa has ever had a long-standing empire of its own |
| 18:46.01 | Technobliterator | mhm |
| 18:46.11 | Technobliterator | And that msg update you were planning |
| 18:46.29 | Monet | The Malinese empire lasted for almost 400 years |
| 18:46.48 | OluapPlayer | I read that as mgs update |
| 18:46.57 | OluapPlayer | liquiiiiiid |
| 18:47.54 | Monet | At one time theemperors of Mali (particularly Mansa Musa) were some of the richeest men in the world. |
| 18:48.05 | Technobliterator | oh man |
| 18:48.20 | Hachiman | Also when I say African empires, if anybody says Egypt I will be peeved hur |
| 18:48.24 | Technobliterator | dat MGSV |
| 18:48.24 | Technobliterator | trailer |
| 18:48.55 | Monet | Hachiman: We know. |
| 18:50.42 | TheImperios | Hachiman: Mali, Songhai, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, the trade cities of Southeast Africa and Somali, Nubia, Kush |
| 18:50.53 | Ghel | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_empires |
| 18:51.18 | Ghel | Quite a few were in West Africa; IIRC a good location due to trans-Saharan trade routes. |
| 18:51.26 | TheImperios | Though Kush was basically south Egypt |
| 18:51.26 | Hachiman | >Ethiopia |
| 18:51.40 | Hachiman | I never would have thought Ethiopia was an empire once |
| 18:51.54 | TheImperios | They've been an empire since 1979 |
| 18:52.02 | Monet | Hachiman: One of the major consequences of European colonialism |
| 18:52.06 | TheImperios | *before 1979 |
| 18:52.07 | TheImperios | I think |
| 18:52.19 | OluapPlayer | I didn't watch the new trailer |
| 18:52.24 | OluapPlayer | No idea when it was even announced |
| 18:52.29 | Monet | Als i ithink Carthathe counts as African. |
| 18:52.38 | Monet | also I think* |
| 18:52.42 | Monet | Carthage* |
| 18:53.03 | Hachiman | Huh I did not envision Carthage as African |
| 18:53.23 | TheImperios | They were where Tunis is now |
| 18:53.27 | TheImperios | So, North African |
| 18:53.47 | TheImperios | Come to think about it |
| 18:53.54 | Ghel | Carthage was in Africa, but as an offshoot of Phoenecia I wouldn't say it was really a native empire. |
| 18:53.55 | TheImperios | There were a lot of civilisations in what is now Nigeria |
| 18:54.06 | TheImperios | But I can't remember any names |
| 18:54.08 | Hachiman | I was gonna say |
| 18:54.11 | TheImperios | Nri is the only one I can remember |
| 18:54.34 | Ghel | Here's a map: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e7/African-civilizations-map-pre-colonial.svg |
| 18:54.55 | Hachiman | I do not recall any interpretations of Hannibal being a black African man hur |
| 18:55.30 | TheImperios | Well |
| 18:55.41 | Monet | Hachiman: Likely because Phonecia was in the Holy Land. |
| 18:55.42 | TheImperios | North Africa is *not* black and has never been |
| 18:56.02 | Hachiman | But |
| 18:56.04 | Hachiman | Africa |
| 18:56.30 | Monet | The Moors. |
| 18:56.40 | TheImperios | Look by your logic I can deduce Xho should look like me because India is in Asia hur |
| 18:57.17 | TheImperios | North Africans weren't super pasty either though |
| 18:57.21 | TheImperios | Let me find a picture |
| 18:57.33 | Monet | The Mediterranian has a lot of Middle-Eastern influences due to peopel like the Phonecians and ROman Africa. |
| 18:58.16 | TheImperios | Hachiman: https://heavenawaits.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/syrian-nubian-libyian-egyptian.gif dere |
| 18:58.16 | Hachiman | I guess I just envision South Africa when I hear Africa as a continent being mentioned |
| 18:58.31 | Hachiman | Which is wrong of me |
| 18:58.34 | TheImperios | Syrian, Nubian (that's where Sudan is now), Libyan, Egyptian |
| 18:59.18 | Monet | Hachiman: It happens |
| 18:59.23 | TheImperios | So Egyptians were kinda like black-white-brown-something |
| 18:59.42 | Hachiman | Nubians are like super black in that picture hur |
| 18:59.57 | OluapPlayer | but dats wrong |
| 19:00.00 | OluapPlayer | dey were mummies |
| 19:00.06 | OluapPlayer | dunt u watch cartoons |
| 19:00.27 | TheImperios | OluapPlayer: Dey were brown mummies |
| 19:00.39 | TheImperios | Hachiman: Yep |
| 19:00.50 | TheImperios | http://www.ctvnews.ca/polopoly_fs/1.1600133.1387510212!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_960/image.jpg That's what the Sudanese look like now |
| 19:01.16 | TheImperios | Feel the heat of da Sahara |
| 19:01.17 | Monet | Sudanese gained a reputation for being super-dark. |
| 19:01.28 | Monet | Almost black. |
| 19:01.50 | TheImperios | Meanwhile I think from what I remember of them even modern Egyptians are kinda darker than most Arabs |
| 19:03.05 | TheImperios | Monet: When I think of Africa I usually think of Nigeria for some reason |
| 19:03.09 | TheImperios | And West Africa in general |
| 19:03.39 | TheImperios | That and Ethiopia, but that's only because the only person of African descent I know is half-Ethiopian |
| 19:03.51 | Monet | The term "black" and all its slurs likely came from the almost pitch-dark colouration of a number of slaves who were native to Sub-Saharan Africa where it is *really* sunny. |
| 19:03.51 | Hachiman | So North Africa is where native white Africans come from |
| 19:04.01 | TheImperios | Well not *white* |
| 19:04.10 | Hachiman | Minus Phoenicians hur |
| 19:04.16 | TheImperios | Not "sieg heil" white, rather "Allahu Akbar" white |
| 19:04.22 | TheImperios | And a tad darker than that |
| 19:05.10 | TheImperios | BTW that Ethiopian guy I know actually took pictures with fucking Haile Selassie |
| 19:05.11 | TheImperios | Haile |
| 19:05.13 | TheImperios | Fucking |
| 19:05.14 | TheImperios | Selassie |
| 19:05.38 | Monet | That and "white" is a slight exaggeration as well. |
| 19:05.49 | Monet | Most "white" people are more a light pinky-cream. |
| 19:06.00 | Hachiman | Well you know what I meant |
| 19:06.06 | Monet | I know I know |
| 19:06.20 | TheImperios | I think "Caucasoid" is the proper term |
| 19:06.38 | Hachiman | But they are not Caucasian hur |
| 19:06.45 | TheImperios | Well |
| 19:06.52 | TheImperios | Define "Caucasian" |
| 19:07.04 | Hachiman | As in the country |
| 19:07.14 | Monet | Just hypothesising that "black" and "white" as a combination of exaggeration, misperception and igmorance. |
| 19:07.22 | Hachiman | You berated me for saying Caucasian instead of white |
| 19:07.27 | TheImperios | Caucasus is a region, not a country |
| 19:07.33 | Hachiman | Know what I meant |
| 19:07.35 | TheImperios | Hence "Caucasoid", not "Caucasian" |
| 19:07.41 | Ghel | You could come up with a technically-accurate politically-correct term if you like. Such as "melaninistically-challenged". |
| 19:07.53 | TheImperios | But that would include paler Asians |
| 19:08.06 | Hachiman | >challenged implying that they struggle with their pigmentation |
| 19:08.12 | TheImperios | The term we used in biology courses here was "Europeoid" or something |
| 19:08.25 | TheImperios | Okay racial anthropology is a complex term |
| 19:08.29 | Monet | "Europeoid" sounds like a shape. |
| 19:08.39 | TheImperios | I IS SHAPED LIKE WHITE |
| 19:08.46 | TheImperios | *complex thing |
| 19:09.14 | Ghel | Yeah; some reference to European descent might be most reasonable if you're not going for "white". |
| 19:09.15 | Hachiman | brb |
| 19:09.17 | TheImperios | Monet: Who is white depends a lot on the person in question |
| 19:09.36 | TheImperios | Like a few decades ago Cyrannian would not have been considered white |
| 19:09.37 | Monet | TheImperios: Yeah that's why I included perception. |
| 19:09.38 | TheImperios | In America |
| 19:10.06 | TheImperios | Also politics |
| 19:10.28 | TheImperios | Like for example how Arabs were treated during the Colonial Age by historians |
| 19:10.45 | Monet | To someone from Etheopia with very dark skin Most Central and Northern Europeans would look pale as a cloud because they can more easily distingusih the darker pigmentations. |
| 19:11.28 | TheImperios | In the 19th century, Arab prospects in Africa were usually praised and seen as an example of civilising Africans through colonisation, with Arabs considered white |
| 19:11.52 | TheImperios | Nowadays we usually view Arab conquests as destructive |
| 19:12.00 | drom | <Technobliterator> And that msg update you were planning |
| 19:12.06 | TheImperios | Or, alternatively, praise their cultural advancements to be politically correct |
| 19:12.08 | Monet | I noticed in a visit ot Barcelona this year that there are a lot of Spanish living there with a similar pigmentation to me. |
| 19:12.39 | drom | Yeah, but it however require to go through a community reviewal and gain approval first |
| 19:12.39 | Ghel | Conquest in general is often viewed as destructive nowadays. |
| 19:12.42 | TheImperios | When in fact it was Iran who was at the spearhead of Medieval Islamic science, culture and learning and it was Persian sciences that formed the foundation of the Islamic Golden Age |
| 19:13.09 | TheImperios | Though without the Arabs, their commerce and their Islam they would have never spread their influence that far |
| 19:13.29 | Monet | One of the benefits of multiculturalism. |
| 19:15.51 | TheImperios | Basically along with the wonders of ALLAHU AKBAR, the Arabs also spread advances in science and culture that they themselves took from their neighbours and further developed |
| 19:16.33 | TheImperios | Funnily enough religion kinda spurred their scientific advancement |
| 19:17.04 | TheImperios | One of the reasons algebra was developed in the Caliphate was that complex calculations were needed to split inheritance according to Shari'a |
| 19:17.13 | Monet | And then Europeans took those advances in science during the crusades lol. |
| 19:20.49 | Ghel | IIRC it was the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople that really brought Europe out of the Middle Ages and eventually allowed the scientific revolution to take place, as people fled the city with ancient Greek texts and encouraged a new age of learning. |
| 19:21.04 | TheImperios | That and the Reconquista |
| 19:22.06 | TheImperios | There were also these Persian bros who made fucking robots in the fucking Middle Ages |
| 19:22.14 | TheImperios | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Ingenious_Devices Allahu Akbar-bots |
| 19:25.02 | Ghel | Yeah; I think the idea that the past was all primitive until the industrial revolution is in part thanks to the fact that Europe just gave up on everything after Rome fell, so we look back to those post-classical times and it doesn't usually look good as far as innovation is concerned. |
| 19:26.07 | TheImperios | Monet: That discussion about multiculturalism reminded me of one thing about Mass Effect |
| 19:26.41 | TheImperios | For all the cultural diversity Mass Effect's humanity provides, you still end up killing Russians and punching Arabs hur |
| 19:26.57 | Monet | Ghel: A combination of that and anthethiestic propaganda by Victorian scholars |
| 19:27.28 | Monet | E.g. everyone thinkign the world was flat |
| 19:27.32 | Ghel | Ah, yes. A distorted view of that history doesn't help. |
| 19:28.33 | TheImperios | OluapPlayer: "One of al-Jazari's humanoid automata was a waitress that could serve water, tea or drinks. The drink was stored in a tank with a reservoir from where the drink drips into a bucket and, after seven minutes, into a cup, after which the waitress appears out of an automatic door serving the drink." |
| 19:28.40 | TheImperios | Fucking medieval robot maids |
| 19:29.46 | Monet | TheImperios: 3 lets you punch a capitalist. |
| 19:29.52 | Monet | An American capitalist. |
| 19:30.01 | TheImperios | FOR MOTHER RUSSIA |
| 19:30.43 | Monet | And also punch a Chinese man... |
| 19:30.56 | OluapPlayer | beep boop |
| 19:30.58 | Monet | Actually that's a bit...off |
| 19:31.10 | Monet | The most prominent Chinese person in the series is a total asswipe. |
| 19:31.17 | TheImperios | Wasn't there also Fai Dan? |
| 19:35.56 | Monet | I wouldn't call him prominent |
| 19:36.19 | Monet | He's nowhere near as prominent i nthe story as Kai Leng. |
| 19:38.01 | TheImperios | Kai was Russian/Chinese |
| 19:38.06 | TheImperios | ...Which kinda serves my point |
| 19:39.04 | Monet | I wa sgoign to say that it could be how Americna media seems to continue to demonise Russians |
| 19:39.11 | Monet | But then I rememebred Bioware is Canadian |
| 19:39.22 | TheImperios | Then they should apologise hur |
| 19:39.42 | TheImperios | There was a lot of controversy in Russia over the Soviet campaign of Company of Heroes |
| 19:40.52 | Monet | SHepard is possibly the world's most badass Candian. |
| 19:41.34 | TheImperios | Most of Russians felt that Relic portrayed the Soviets as too unsympathetic, highlighting the brutality of Stalinist regime rather than the bravery of Soviet soldiers |
| 19:42.41 | TheImperios | Monet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m4SCUaBHS8&sns=em This |

| 19:44.25 | Monet | "thank you Canada for Justin Beiber" |
| 19:44.28 | Monet | Hi |
| 19:44.31 | Ghel | Hello. |
| 19:44.38 | DrodoEmpire | You're welcome |
| 19:44.38 | DrodoEmpire | <3 |
| 19:44.57 | drom | Hey |
| 19:46.23 | TheImperios | Monet: I don't think we should judge nations by their lows |
| 19:46.31 | TheImperios | Otherwise the Armenian Genocide would have been justified |
| 19:46.37 | TheImperios | Because of Anita Sarkeesian and Kim Kardashian |
| 19:48.08 | Ghel | So instead you're arguing that the genocide merely targeted the wrong people? |
| 19:48.13 | Monet | I like Canada |
| 19:48.21 | DrodoEmpire | Monet: Aww |
| 19:48.34 | Monet | Is Bieber considered a national disgrace? |
| 19:48.56 | DrodoEmpire | Sorta |
| 19:48.57 | DrodoEmpire | XD |
| 19:49.39 | Ghel | Canada has produced other people in the music industry, too. |
| 19:49.47 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 19:50.09 | Ghel | Drake. The Weeknd. Carly Rae Jepsen. |
| 19:50.11 | TheImperios | I wonder if UK has any Bieber-like singer |
| 19:50.14 | drom | I do like Canada due to its politics compared to our current mess. |
| 19:50.24 | TheImperios | As in, any annoying pretty boys favoured by fangirls |
| 19:50.36 | drom | I do even get the impression that Canadians have more tolerance than the average Swede. |
| 19:50.39 | DrodoEmpire | Deadmau5, Joal Plaskett, etc. |
| 19:50.53 | DrodoEmpire | drom: Eh maybe? I dunno very many Swedes. XD |
| 19:51.01 | Ghel | TheImperios: Not any individual singers I can think of, but bands like One Direction might count there. |
| 19:51.03 | DrodoEmpire | We tend to be polite I guess |
| 19:51.07 | TheImperios | OH |
| 19:51.09 | drom | But I don't like it when you copyright the moose. >:| |
| 19:51.35 | TheImperios | We had a few good girl bands but otherwise I do not think Russians are good at pop music |
| 19:51.45 | Monet | Amy Winehouse |
| 19:52.02 | TheImperios | Classical composers are really the only noteworthy contribution to music we have made |
| 19:52.34 | TheImperios | Meanwhile the land of my ancestors is a fucking nightmare factory of terrible music |
| 19:53.26 | DrodoEmpire | Meh Canada's alright. I'm not a *huge* fan of deadmau5, anyway, nor of many other Canadian musicians. I just know of them and listen to them every now and then |
| 19:53.28 | Monet | DrodoEmpire: Would you be offended if I said I am a big fam of Stargate? |
| 19:53.37 | DrodoEmpire | Monet:...No? XD |
| 19:53.45 | Monet | Oh good. |
| 19:53.51 | TheImperios | Stargate is Canadian?! |
| 19:54.09 | Monet | TheImperios: Technically joint Canadain-American |
| 19:54.14 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 19:54.16 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
| 19:54.26 | DrodoEmpire | I believe it was filmed in BC |
| 19:54.37 | drom | Doesn't matter is it is Canadian/American, it is just great. All great. |
| 19:54.40 | drom | if* |
| 19:55.53 | Monet | Being filmed in Canada is probably why 80% of planets they visit look like this http://www.thestar.com/content/dam/thestar/news/canada/2011/03/16/canadas_forests_the_earths_waterkeeper_us_environmental_group/borealforest.jpeg.size.xxlarge.letterbox.jpeg |
| 19:57.16 | Monet | Although all the scenes that show the tunnel into Cheyenne Mountain were from the real-life entrance into NORAD |

| 20:04.38 | Wormy_away | I just think of forests of maple trees, each one tapped for syrup, with moose and mountains overhead |
| 20:04.54 | DrodoEmpire_ | In Central Canada (Ontario and southern Quebec for the sake of argument) you've got your pretty lakes and urban sprawl. And to the east... Well, more forest, quaint fishing/mining towns and the (very) occasional town. |
| 20:05.00 | TheImperios | I remember watching this episode, I was seriously confused about what the hell I was even looking at |
| 20:05.15 | Monet | TheImperios: Luke Skywalker actually. |
| 20:06.42 | Ghel | More seriously, I was thinking of this biome map: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/Distribution_Taiga.png although there is of course more to that than thick continuous forest otherwise the same sorts of map would imply that I should be surrounded by oak trees right now. |

| 20:22.01 | Monet | Such a preivelage is reserved for friends and close allies of the family. |
| 20:22.13 | OluapPlayer | Since she's the sole ruler of the Imperium now, I don't imagine her visiting too often |

| 20:47.31 | Cyrannian | I thought you didn't like it Hachi |
| 20:47.34 | Hachiman | Alright in seriousness I did not like ME3 as much as I did ME2 by a longshot |
| 20:47.40 | Ghel | drom: That makes perfect sense. |
| 20:47.53 | Hachiman | But there were some things I liked about ME3 |
| 20:48.00 | Cyrannian | Well my favourite is ME3 for some odd reason |
| 20:48.03 | OluapPlayer | ME2 was the best game in the trilogy to me |
| 20:48.19 | Hachiman | I mean for one the combat system is practically perfected in ME3 |
| 20:48.22 | Monetaway | My only complaint is the original ending and maybe the "eavesdroopper" style sidequest system. Other than that I liked it |
| 20:48.23 | drom | Ghel: Aye |
| 20:48.33 | ExternalFic | drom: plot twist! |
| 20:48.40 | Hachiman | Yeah ME2 is my favourite game in the series |
| 20:48.54 | OluapPlayer | I'm not going further into this since last time I was vocal about ME3 I was yelled at |
| 20:49.05 | TheImperios | GREEN SPACE MAGIC |
| 20:49.12 | Hachiman | ME3 has a lot wrong with it |
| 20:49.14 | drom | All this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRKP3VbI41M |
| 20:49.38 | Hachiman | But then so did ME1 in regards to its gameplay mechanics |
| 20:49.52 | Hachiman | ME2 was the perfect crossover of RPG elements and gameplay mechanics |
| 20:50.21 | Hachiman | ME3 had better game mechanics overall but a worse and restrictive roleplaying experience |
| 20:50.41 | TheImperios | ME3 suffered from ending fatigue |
| 20:50.54 | TheImperios | Very high expectations and it failed to deliver |
| 20:51.32 | Hachiman | Not just the ending fatigue |
| 20:51.37 | OluapPlayer | That and the fact the game was revolved around a deux ex machina which came out of nowhere |
| 20:52.02 | TheImperios | That too |
| 20:52.12 | TheImperios | It kinda contradicted a lot of previous lore |
| 20:52.19 | TheImperios | Hachiman: BTW about that discussion about white people in Africa |
| 20:52.32 | ExternalFic | I liked the Mass Effect games, but the fact that you couldn't skip the long-ass speeches irritated me. |
| 20:52.37 | Hachiman | And the fact that you talked to characters a lot less and the Reapers were far more underpowered than they were made out to be as a story element |
| 20:52.44 | Cyrannian | I do think Sovereign is a far better antagonist than Harbinger |
| 20:52.46 | TheImperios | Come to think about there's another place in Africa where people are sort of white-ish - Ethiopia, Somali, and the rest of the Horn of Africa |
| 20:53.01 | TheImperios | Cyrannian: Sovereign was a tad too ominous to be a good protagonist, Harbinger was fun |
| 20:53.11 | OluapPlayer | >protagonist |
| 20:53.13 | OluapPlayer | u goofed up |
| 20:53.16 | TheImperios | *antagonist |
| 20:53.16 | drom | lmao |
| 20:53.17 | TheImperios | My mistake |
| 20:53.36 | Hachiman | I thought Somalians were like Nubians |
| 20:53.44 | OluapPlayer | I liked both Sovereign and Harbinger, their contrast was interesting |
| 20:53.44 | drom | honsetly saying, that's one of the funniest goof-ups I've seen |
| 20:53.46 | TheImperios | http://images.doctissimo.fr/1/beaute-mode/liya-kebede/photo/hd/3768852376/212708348ec/liya-kebede-liya-kebede-big.jpg?v=11 Ethiopians and Somalis are kinda dark-skinned but otherwise look like Arabs or Italians |
| 20:54.02 | Cyrannian | I mean I did like Harbinger but I didn't like how all the build up to him being the main antagonist was dropped in ME3 |
| 20:54.13 | OluapPlayer | But we didn't even get to fight Harbinger in any way and that sucks dong |
| 20:54.20 | Hachiman | aYE |
| 20:54.22 | Hachiman | Aye even |
| 20:54.25 | OluapPlayer | At least with Sovereign we fought an avatar of his will |

| 20:54.54 | TheImperios | http://i.imgur.com/mR67eV4.jpg Somali |
| 20:54.57 | Hachiman | Or at least a proto-Reaper |
| 20:55.03 | Hachiman | *fought even |
| 20:55.12 | TheImperios | IMO the final boss should have been an actual fucking Reaper |

| 20:55.45 | Hachiman | drom: olol |
| 20:55.59 | Cyrannian | It would have been cool if you could take control of the Normandy and destroy Harbinger in the climax of ME3 or something along those lines |
| 20:56.14 | drom | The final boss in ME2 was a construct in the Collector's base. When it was destroyed, the base was destroyed, if I can recall correctly. |
| 20:56.28 | Hachiman | Reapers are constructed, not born |
| 20:56.49 | Hachiman | What was fought in ME2 was a proto-Reaper with a humanoid chassis |

| 21:02.31 | Hachiman | Well they are intended to be alien |
| 21:03.05 | OluapPlayer | They get a race, turn them into goo, put that goo inside a giant construct then make a bigger squid-like construct around that |
| 21:03.07 | OluapPlayer | Bam, Reaper |
| 21:03.19 | Hachiman | Aye |
| 21:03.26 | Hachiman | Reapers are manufactured |

| 21:25.59 | Monet | The reapers probably don't even consider that go as, well, goo. They might percieve it as closer to molten plastic. |
