12:45.20AdmiralPanda_any word from Hachi recently?
12:45.45MonetHe was on yesterday.
12:46.13AdmiralPanda_yeah, he had a loss of power- just asking if he's come back since then
12:46.34MonetNot that i've seen
12:50.13MonetI'm going ot write about Alcanti's atmosphere. One thing I'd like to do is explai nhow it gets this https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t31.0-8/11952724_632795446857222_4297325092540140240_o.jpg as a sunset
12:51.13MonetSo I'm thinking what gas cocktail could give that effect.

12:52.24GhelaeHello.
12:52.56dromMonet: What does the engine say about the atmosphere's contents?
12:52.59MonetThe colour.

12:57.04Monetdrom: Ah, didn't look to see if SE gave a list
12:57.07MonetOne moment then
12:57.09GhelaeThe reason why sunsets are usually red on Earth is because of scattering effects, which are independent of what the atmosphere is made of.
12:57.40dromIn case anyone is wondering: He said "Hello", in binary (our text is presented through hexadecimal which can be translated to binary). So I responded accordingly with "Welcome" and then joking replied with a catchphrase of Bender from Futurama: "Also kiss my shiny ass!"
12:57.52dromGhelae: Also don't forget the electrospectrum.
12:58.03dromDifferent gases give different colors
12:58.29GhelaeYes, but it's scattering that matters most for why Earth's sunsets are red.
12:58.41dromTrue
12:59.08dromPhysics is beautiful if not too complex
12:59.17GhelaeSo having a sort of purplish glow in the line of sight towards the sun isn't something that's so easy to get. You have to somehow counteract the fact that the shorter-wavelength light is being scattered away.
12:59.31Im_not_a_robotdrom: 0111011101101001011101000110100000100000011011110111001001100111011000010111001101101101011011110111010001110010011011110110111001101001011000110010000001110000011011000110010101100001011100110111010101110010011001010000110100001010
12:59.59GhelaeShining red light onto a gas is not generally going to make it emit higher-energy colours.
13:00.26dromIm_not_a_robot: 00000001
13:00.37MonetWell the planet has an atmospheric pressure of 419.4855 kilopascals if it affects anything
13:02.14GhelaeI don't think so.
13:02.21Monetand a desnity of 4.44kg/m3
13:03.26MonetHang on I'm back in the engine and I do get a red light after the parent star has dissapeared below the horizon
13:03.35*** join/#sporewiki Hachiman (5187c596@gateway/web/freenode/ip.81.135.197.150)
13:03.41HachimanFinally
13:03.45MonetHi
13:03.48HachimanPower's back
13:03.51MonetIts still slightly pinkish though
13:05.12MonetOkay I've had a look at the planet in the editor
13:05.31MonetThat colour is because the planet is using a neptunian atmosphere.
13:05.33Monetmodel
13:06.09GhelaePerhaps that means there's very little scattering of short-wavelength light.
13:07.07MonetMaybe
13:07.24MonetNeptune's atmosphere is primarily light elements like hydrogen and helium
13:07.58MonetBut also methane and ice.
13:08.19AdmiralPanda_hai Hachiman
13:08.23GhelaeIt could be that the red light is nearly all being absorbed by the methane, so while a lot of blue is being scattered away, it's also not being drowned out by red.
13:09.04GhelaeI don't think you want to fill Alcanti's atmosphere with a highly flammale greenhouse gas, though. :P
13:09.10Ghelaeflammable*
13:10.03MonetOxygen isn't exactly the most inert gas in the world either.
13:10.26GhelaeNo, it's oxygen alongside the methane that's the problem.
13:10.40GhelaeLots of methane inside a hydrogen atmosphere would be fine.
13:10.49GhelaeHence the lack of fires of Neptune.
13:11.32Ghelaeon*
13:11.56MonetEven if the proportion is still parts per million?
13:12.52GhelaeIn which case? For the hydrogen atmosphere, methane is as reduced as it's going to get. You can't fit more hydrogen atoms onto that carbon. So the two molecules just aren't going to react.
13:13.03GhelaeFor an oxygen atmosphere, I'd have to look into that.
13:13.39MonetI am slightly inclined now as to the possibility of if Draocnis don't breathe oxygen
13:13.40GhelaeApparently methane is at a couple of ppm even here on Earth.
13:14.57MonetOxygen is used in the respiration cycle as a binding agent for spent hydrogen that has been broken down from glucose molecules and passed though the mitochondria.
13:16.12dromMonet: I can say that I'm on the boat, since I've been thinking about the Nomatari breathing nitrogen compounds, primiarily N2O if possible, so that will make up the fact that they low body tempatures to survive heat and cold.
13:16.44GhelaeNot exactly... it's purpose is the terminal electron acceptor, that is, it receives electrons that have lost energy going through the mitochondria.
13:16.56MonetI was close.
13:17.37GhelaeWith hydrogen, you could think of it a running the process backwards: rather than oxidising glucose, respiration involves reducing some other molecule.
13:17.41Im_not_a_robotdrom http://imgur.com/gallery/O6KigaR
13:18.19GhelaeIm_not_a_robot: Actual footage of science there.
13:18.48dromAye
13:18.57Im_not_a_robotIndeed
13:19.05MonetOkay so we know methane exists in small quantities in Earth's atmosphere
13:19.23MonetAnd yesterday I listed Alcanti's global temperature as being 37 degrees.
13:19.57Ghelaedrom: I wouldn't think nitrogen compounds are a good choice for respiration... is there any reason why you think they would make up for low body temperatures?
13:20.15dromGhelae Im_not_a_robot: "These life hacks are getting ridiculous"
13:20.46dromGhelae: Good question, it was all an wild conclusion, really.
13:21.02MonetAlcanti is already under a more considerable greenhosue effect than Earth.
13:22.27GhelaeThe further away you make it from its star, the more methane it can have in its atmosphere without being too warm.
13:23.02GhelaeBut I don't know how much methane you'd need for violet sunsets.
13:23.57MonetWell according to this http://www.universetoday.com/21584/atmosphere-of-neptune/ even at the surface of Neptune there's only a trace amount of methane
13:25.03Ghelae1.5% here: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/neptunefact.html
13:25.38GhelaeWithout doing any maths, I'm going to take a complete guess and say you won't have any problems with runaway global warming even at those levels.
13:26.43GhelaeBut flammability... remember, hydrogen is light, so if you don't want Draconis to breathe oxygen, you'd need to make Alcanti a super-Earth to stop a hydrogen atmosphere from escaping into space.
13:28.00AdmiralPanda_I did a very short search, and nitrogen is unfavourable for aerobic respiration since the "normal" reaction would actually require a greater input of energy than output
13:28.23AdmiralPanda_that was however assuming pure nitrogen
13:28.26GhelaePure nitrogen is definitely terrible due to the triple bond.
13:28.54Im_not_a_robothttp://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6671182/foo-fighters-westboro-baptist-church-rickrolling
13:29.09MonetHmm, below Oxygen on the perioic table is sulfur. Which unfortunately is solid until 444 degrees C and the only gaseous forms of sulfur are oxides.
13:30.07GhelaeA far better way of finding suitable respiratory gases, albeit still crude, is to compare electronegativities.
13:30.45AdmiralPanda_can I ask for the context as to why you don't want the Draconis to breathe oxygen?
13:30.58dromGhelae: Aside oxygen, which other gases do you think would suit as respiratory gases on hot and dry planets?
13:31.46MonetAdmiralPanda_: I have a Space Engine planet for them that gives purple sunsets but as we've found out the reason is high amounts of methane in the atmosphere, which doesnt' react well with oxygen.
13:32.00GhelaeI did a basic bit of writing about alien biochemistries here: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User:Ghel%C3%A6/Guide_To_Stuff#Xenobiology
13:32.08AdmiralPanda_right
13:32.19dromRight
13:32.37GhelaeOxygen is really your best gas, although for other oxidisers you could have halogens, if they haven't all reacted with other elements to form rocks and salts.
13:32.48MonetLooking at Earth for a comparison: Methane in earth's atmosphere: 775ppb  Methane in Neptune's atmosphere: 1500ppm.
13:33.10AdmiralPanda_are there upper atmosphere gases that could cause the same effect without necessarily interfering with respiration close to the planet's surface?
13:33.23MonetThere's roughly 2000x more methane in Neptune's atmosphere.
13:33.26GhelaeThe reducing agents mentioned there are better for cold planets: hydrogen, and hydrocarbons such as methane.
13:33.54Im_not_a_robot"Small dogs never think they're little."  http://imgur.com/gallery/0q18RhC
13:34.08GhelaeAlthough as we've been discussing, methane is a greenhouse gas, so that could work on a hot dry planet.
13:34.08MonetThe lack of oxygen, as Ghelae suggested, is likely why Neptune's atmosphere isn't almost permanently ablaze.
13:36.29dromI've been thinking that the Solvalis would have an atmosphere of nitrogen oxides and hydrogen compunds.
13:37.06GhelaeMonet: You could search for other gases that absorb red light. Maybe some of them will be simple enough to be natural, while also not being highly reactive in oxygen.
13:37.36dromBut the problems is the fact that planet is hot, so it is close to the sun. And hydrogen is probably too hard to be kept stable at that point
13:38.41MonetGhelae: Wormy explored the planet yesterday and claimed it seemed rather humid to him. Maybe high amounts of water vapour?
13:39.52dromSo I found this page: http://www.webelements.com/hydrogen/compounds.html
13:40.29Ghelaedrom: The problem with having pure hydrogen in an atmosphere is that, at reasonable temperatures, individual molecules will be travelling at faster speeds than Earth's escape velocity. Heavier hydrogen compounds won't have that problem.
13:40.48GhelaeMonet: Water absorbs mainly in the far infrared and microwave spectrum, doesn't it?
13:41.21dromGhelae: Including if the planet is faster that said escape velocity, just an assumption.
13:41.22MonetI think so.
13:41.44GhelaeAh, the electronic absorption of water is in the UV. Which also doesn't help.
13:42.03Ghelaedrom: Heavier planets with higher escape velocities can hold onto hydrogen, which is how the gas giants do it.
13:42.05dromWhich reminds me, I should go and try Space Engine again even if it pays a huge toll on my computer's internal GPU
13:43.19dromInteresting, but what can get N2O and a heavy hydrogen compound together to create a reaction where biological life can relay on?
13:44.21dromI mean, if we assume that the reaction produces water (H2O) and a heavy nitrogen compound or as a free gas including other by/waste-products
13:44.26Im_not_a_robotOn a the subject of "atmospheres igniting", its not really possible but you can expect larger explosions http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Gas_giant#Can.27t_land_on_gas_giants.3F
13:44.29GhelaeN2O would probably be a fairly inert gas, playing the same role as nitrogen does in our atmosphere.
13:46.28GhelaeAs a rough guess, you'd have some oxygen-rich sugar taking the place of Earth's hydrogen-rich sugars, which are reduced by methane to make water and CO2. That's basically swapping the place of hydrogen and oxygen between sugar and air, and it may not be very realistic.
13:46.36MonetWell I've found one plausable evolutionary trait though SE - Because of the atmosphere, I think Draconis' eyes would perhaps have either an overall broader light intensity tolerance, or a higher tolerance for brighter light.
13:47.07GhelaePerhaps if the sugars are nitrogenous, the outcome of the reaction would be N2O.
13:47.39GhelaeAlthough the carbon from the methane would still have to be removed somehow.
13:47.48dromAin't there nitrogenous salts and acids as well?
13:47.55AdmiralPanda_filtration through the blood?
13:47.58MonetSince the thicker atmosphere would reduce visibility.
13:48.45AdmiralPanda_the excess carbon could be bound to a waste molecule and filtered out from the bloodstream in the kidneys
13:48.57Ghelaedrom: Yes, there are all kinds of compounds containing nitrogen. Just as with hydrogen, carbon, oxygen etc.      AdmiralPanda_: I mean, the carbon has to become part of some other waste product.
13:49.13AdmiralPanda_ah right I get you
13:49.37dromJust like how we do with natrium, ammoniak (nitrogen and hydrogen, right?) AdmiralPanda
13:49.59AdmiralPanda_the issue isn't so much what to do with the carbon, it's the extra waste components to attach the carbon to that is the issue
13:50.41dromWhat about the carbon is used as a building stone use to construct the body?
13:50.45dromused*
13:50.45GhelaeThat's why I'm assuming CO2 would still be produced.
13:51.20Ghelaedrom: If it's anything like on Earth, those will be produced during photosynthesis, and animals will get them from their diet.
13:51.22AdmiralPanda_drom: That still doesn't solve the issue of what does the carbon connect to during the respiration process
13:52.29MonetI'd say Draconis' tolerance of bright lights might be roughly double the tolerance of he human eye.
13:52.40MonetMade possible by a smaller pupil
13:52.49*** join/#sporewiki Imperios (~Imperios@95.140.92.63)
13:53.09HachimanHai Imp
13:53.21MonetHey maybe that's why Draconis could have two pairs of eyes - one set for daylight, one set for moonlight?
13:53.49AdmiralPanda_they'd probably have a secondary eyelid rather than secondary eyes outright
13:53.52AdmiralPanda_like built in sunglasses
13:54.05HachimanReminds me of crocodiles
13:54.20AdmiralPanda_^ I was more thinking camels, same basic principle
13:54.37dromOr strong ring muscles that allows the pupils to retract and extend to drasatic merasurements
13:54.53MonetI believe Hachi's thinking of nicitating membranes
13:55.08AdmiralPanda_drom: too much light will burn the sensors, the same reason you go blind if you stare at the sun
13:55.31AdmiralPanda_even if you're restricting the hole the light can go through, if it's too bright it'll still cause damage
13:55.40GhelaeMonet: On the topic of Alcanti's atmosphere, one of the first things you suggested was less neon, presumably because neon emits red light. But the same physics should make it absorb red light, so one option could be that there's actually a lot of neon.
13:56.10AdmiralPanda_Monet: ah yeah, that would actually work perfectly
13:56.23AdmiralPanda_a tinted membrane that, as I said, effectively acts as a natural pair of sunglasses
13:56.27dromAdmiralPanda: of course, you could have a shaded membrane, but it is a shoot and miss.
13:56.28MonetGhelae: I know it emits light under an electric current.
13:56.41Monetemits red light*
13:57.05dromSo, secondary eyelid is the way to go
13:57.49MonetAdmiralPanda: Most nicitating membranes I've seen tend to be white or transparent. TO protect the eye from water damage for both and to permit visibility for the latter. Maybe Draocnid nicitating membranes are black?
13:57.58AdmiralPanda_that's what I'm thinking
13:58.04dromInterestingly, I've read about that the pupil's size play an effect on what wavelengths can be allowed inside.
13:58.05GhelaeYes. That's because the difference between a particular pair of energy levels in a neon atom corresponds to the energy of red light. So once a neon atom has absorbed energy to raise an electron to the higher of the two levels, it then can fall back down to the lower-energy state by emitting a red photon.
13:58.33AdmiralPanda_well perhaps not solid black, but translucent with a dark tint
13:58.49MonetAdmiralPanda: Not solid black no.
13:58.53ImperiosSo basically what you suggest is for Draconis to have biological sunglasses
13:58.58ImperiosIt's kind of cool TBH
13:59.03AdmiralPanda_Imperios: I've literally said exactly that twice noe
13:59.04AdmiralPanda_now*
13:59.08GhelaeThe same process will then work in reverse: it can absorb a red photon to raise an electron up an energy level. This photon will then be almost immediately re-emitted, but in a random direction rather than in the same direction (from the sun) the original one came from.
13:59.09ImperiosRight
13:59.40GhelaeThis then scatters red light *more* than blue light is scatterd by Rayleigh scattering.
14:00.06dromAdmiralPanda_ Monet: Prehaps you could give them photochromic membranes
14:00.07ImperiosWhat are you actually talking about other than Draconis biology?
14:00.19GhelaeThe only problem with neon will be that it's also quite light, so we have the escape velocity problem again.
14:00.22dromhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photochromic_lens
14:00.28GhelaeMonet: Alcanti's atmosphere and how to give it purple sunsets.
14:00.34GhelaeNot Monet.
14:00.42GhelaeImperios: Alcanti's atmosphere and the rest.
14:00.47dromMostly a technical thing, but it is however an interesting concept
14:00.50ImperiosAh
14:00.55AdmiralPanda_drom: that requires a natural chloride or halide within the lens
14:01.04AdmiralPanda_usually one of silver
14:01.05MonetGhelae: I might stick with oxygen as Draocnis are carbon-based lifeforms but up the amount of neon and decrease the amount of argon (based on these physics, Argon absorbs a lot of blue light in Earth's atmosphere) and up the amount of methane a little
14:01.19MonetSilver does not play nice with organic tissue.
14:01.25GhelaeThat makes sense.
14:02.22GhelaeYes... the problem with neon is how light it is, which is why it's so very rare on Earth.
14:03.23AdmiralPanda_much easier to just have a highly pigmented membrane really
14:03.38AdmiralPanda_evolution does trend towards efficiency after all
14:04.01dromthere is aswell so called forced natural selection
14:04.28MonetGhelae: Alcanti has a slightly higher gravitational constant.
14:04.29HachimanUnless you're a fucking panda in which case evolution screwed you over
14:05.05dromUh, is it natural for SE to take an eterenity to bootup?
14:05.17AdmiralPanda_what are you on about? pandas are quite well evolved for their habitat
14:05.38Monetdrom: Check to make sure you have the latest graphics drivers
14:05.48AdmiralPanda_and don't you dare bring up the video about pandas rolling down a slide because that is not their natural habitat
14:05.55Hachimanhur
14:05.57Im_not_a_robotNoble gases are depleted on planets as they form, so neon will probably always be quite rare.
14:06.32AdmiralPanda_in all seriousness though, a panda is just any other bear adapted in favour of their available food sources

14:07.55*** mode/#sporewiki [+o OluapPlayer] by ChanServ
14:08.03Im_not_a_robotI mean yes, as Alcanti has more mass it might just hold onto a little bit more
14:08.09GhelaeLet's see... the mean kinetic energy corresponding to a given temperature is Sqrt(3kT/m), where the mass of a neon atom is abou 2.25x10^-26 kg, and the a average temperature of Alcanti is... let's assume around 300 K.
14:08.21HachimanHai
14:08.41OluapPlayerHi
14:08.41GhelaeHello.
14:08.46ImperiosHiya
14:09.04MonetGhelae: Roughly right.
14:09.12AdmiralPanda_actually their reproduction rate is a byproduct of their new environment in captivity
14:09.13GhelaeSo, 609 m/s.
14:09.21AdmiralPanda_they don't actually have fertility problems in the wild
14:09.54GhelaeYou know, I don't actually know how to calculate how much neon will escape a planet's atmosphere given that...
14:10.13GhelaeIt's probably the upper end of the distribution that matters, not the fairly low-velocity mean.
14:10.32AdmiralPanda_now that I look at it, holy shit pandas are horny buggers during the seven to twelve days that they get to be
14:10.39Hachimanhur
14:10.49MonetGhelae: Probably. 609m/s is well below escape velocity.
14:11.08AdmiralPanda_the problem with the captivity system is there's no competition so the males don't exactly feel motivated to try
14:11.32GhelaeBut as a comparison, for oxygen the speed is a mere 474 m/s.
14:11.35AdmiralPanda_and since the females are only fertile for the aforementioned seven to twelve days, that doesn't work out well
14:11.42HachimanOuch
14:11.57Im_not_a_robotI recall learning an equation that uses Boltzmann's constant (which looks like yours though) to calculate the escape velocity of gaseous elements in an atmosphere to guage how long it stays there
14:12.28Im_not_a_robotKeep in mind the effects of solar radiation which can also knock into atoms in the upper atmosphere and deplete them
14:13.03MonetIm_not_a_robot: That would be useful.
14:13.36AdmiralPanda_the other problem is their handlers still haven't figured out A) how to tell the females are in heat and B) whether or not they're pregnant
14:13.38Im_not_a_robotGoing to find it now.  I think its *is* the equation Ghel is using though but its worth a check
14:14.08MonetAldra's likely a dwarf star so its not as prone to solar flarees or CMEs as Sol is.
14:14.19AdmiralPanda_and before you ask, yes they've tried literally every technique ever, and none of them work properly
14:15.10HachimanI remember one story where a female panda managed to fake pregnancy behaviour in order for her handlers to give her more food
14:15.42MonetHachiman: Well at least they're not stupid.
14:15.48AdmiralPanda_pandas have a thing called pseudopregnancy, where they act like they're in heat/pregnant to manipulate the behaviour of males
14:16.11MonetI vaguely recall a lot of panda enclosures don't have many pandas in them.
14:16.28AdmiralPanda_Monet: They don't, usually only a mated pair
14:16.40AdmiralPanda_which as I said before is part of the problem
14:16.56AdmiralPanda_pandas ideally want to have a high proportion of males per female
14:17.16MonetWait a minute...
14:17.19AdmiralPanda_or at the very least a significant number of males
14:18.03MonetIn heat for a short period of the year...males are horny as hell...Unpredictable heat cycles (I'm guessing). Pandas are starting to sound like Draconis.
14:18.24AdmiralPanda_heh
14:18.55MonetExcept Draconis don't sit on their arse all day every day chewing bamboo for hours on end.
14:19.02AdmiralPanda_so what you're saying is draconis are fat, slow to act and spend most of their day eating?
14:19.35AdmiralPanda_and in our defence, pandas eat a lot of bamboo because it's not very nutritious
14:19.36ImperiosThat synchronicity
14:19.39Hachimanhttps://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11915445_2383906921656484_4758286712874375287_n.jpg?oh=ffe316f39df56326cf4258185dd5ad63&oe=563DC038 "That must have been some laser."
14:20.01HachimanSo pandas are evolutionarily adapted to junk food hur
14:20.23MonetFat? yes, slow to act? Often because they live for centuries, spend most of their day eating? Depends on the 'conis in question.
14:20.35AdmiralPanda_Monet: I was teasing you :P
14:21.06MonetAdmiralPanda: I was responding in jest.
14:21.24MonetOr at least trying to
14:21.33AdmiralPanda_Hachiman: well, when your options are eat a ton of easily available, never going to run out unless land clearing happens food, or trying to hunt enough small fishes to sustain yourself, take your pick
14:21.43AdmiralPanda_Monet: I know, just being clear
14:21.52TechnobliteratorOkay, Thane Krios is definitely my favourite ME2 character
14:22.02Im_not_a_robotVmps = k T / m   Some general rules about the thermal escape:  velocity increases with higher T and lesser m; the escape velocity decreases based on exosphere height and the smaller the planet
14:22.08HachimanIt is like you forgot about Zaeed
14:22.20TechnobliteratorI like Miranda, Jacob and Garrus, but Thane is the best
14:22.32Technobliteratoroh, Legion and Grunt are good
14:22.33ImperiosLet me guess
14:22.36ImperiosYou have hots for Thane don't you
14:22.37HachimanGarrus is the best ME character in general
14:22.45TechnobliteratorNo?
14:22.52HachimanActually Grunt is my favourite ME2 character hur
14:22.55TechnobliteratorThane is just the most interesting character of them all
14:22.55AdmiralPanda_tbh my favourite is Legion
14:22.58Technobliteratorand the most tragic
14:23.04ImperiosAlright I won't count Samara then
14:23.10Im_not_a_robotIf the average gas particle speed is less than one-sixth the escape velocity, more than one half of that gas is left after one billion years
14:23.10TechnobliteratorSamara was...ok
14:23.19TechnobliteratorI think Morinth had a pretty sad story
14:23.23ImperiosYa
14:23.24HachimanMorinth is a cunt
14:23.28TechnobliteratorNo she's not
14:23.49ImperiosI do not like asari in general but Samara is cool
14:23.52HachimanShe takes pleasure in killing people and puts on a guise so others feel sorry for and seduced by her
14:23.56TechnobliteratorShe's a killer, but it's not her fault
14:23.56ImperiosAnd not just because of her cleavage
14:24.04ImperiosHer sisters did just fine
14:24.06OluapPlayerMorinth is a serial killer who does what she does out of pleasure, she had a chance to live in peace with her two sisters but she preferred to run
14:24.18TechnobliteratorBut it was completely beyond her control
14:24.24MonetStill, having an atmosphere like Neptune explains why the planet I found for Alcanti has no life on it despite orbiting a dwarf star old enough to qualify for Population II categorisation.
14:24.33OluapPlayerIt wasn't, as shown by her sisters
14:24.35ImperiosAlright seriously, Legion and Mordin are my favourite
14:24.36AdmiralPanda_her syndrome was beyond her control, what she did with it was well and truly within her control
14:24.38Imperiosfavourites
14:24.40ImperiosAnd Tali
14:24.49OluapPlayerTali is best girl
14:24.52Imperios^
14:24.55TechnobliteratorShe was born as an accident, and the only way to solve her problem was to kill her
14:24.55AdmiralPanda_^
14:25.05HachimanOR have her live with her sisters
14:25.05TechnobliteratorI...don't have much of an opinion on Tali
14:25.12dromHm. Apparently this planet I'm playing around with the moment has a temperature of 72 degress
14:25.17HachimanWhich she refused to do because she is a cunt
14:25.20TechnobliteratorHonestly, I really love all the characters except Jack
14:25.21dromGreenhouse effect gives 132 degress
14:25.30TechnobliteratorI hate Jack
14:25.39Im_not_a_robotIf the avg speed is greater than that critical value, then  a lot more of half will be gone http://ircamera.as.arizona.edu/astr_250/images/esc_vel.gif
14:25.42HachimanI don't like Jack or Miranda
14:25.48ImperiosSame here
14:25.49ImperiosLike
14:25.52TechnobliteratorI like Miranda, she's cool
14:25.52ImperiosJack is better than Miranda
14:25.56ImperiosBut still not a fan
14:26.03HachimanJack for obvious reasons and Miranda because she is a Mary Sue
14:26.05MonetIm)not_a_robot: Okay then. Well bearing that in mind the escape velocity of Alcanti is roughly 11800 m/s.
14:26.09AdmiralPanda_I've never been able to take Miranda seriously, because while she's supposedly engineered to be perfect, she's ugly as fuck
14:26.12ImperiosTBH I am not a fan of ME2's gritty style in general
14:26.17AdmiralPanda_and the fact that she's literally a mary sue
14:26.19OluapPlayerMiranda aka Potato Head
14:26.23TechnobliteratorMiranda is not a Mary Sue, though
14:26.28HachimanTo me Miranda looks like Michael Jackson post-whitification
14:26.35OluapPlayerolol
14:26.36AdmiralPanda_Technobliterator: Even in-universe she is
14:26.39TechnobliteratorDespite being engineered to be one, she still has human faults
14:26.46ImperiosHachiman: Miranda is actually Jacob from the future
14:26.56OluapPlayerOh god
14:26.56TechnobliteratorThe whole point was that she was designed to be perfect, then is not perfect
14:26.59Hachiman"MUH DAD" "MUH PERFECTION" "MUH SISTER"
14:27.04HachimanThat is the extent of her faults
14:27.10Technobliterator:    |
14:27.12HachimanThey're not even faults with her, just her backstory
14:27.25Imperios*FANSERVICE* *FANSERVICE* *FANSERVICE*
14:27.25MonetShe may have an engineered mind and body, but she doesn't have the kind of leadership Shepard radiates fro mhis body.
14:27.31TechnobliteratorAnd an inferiority complex
14:27.34ImperiosThat's my personal complaint about her
14:27.38HachimanMonet: Neither does anyone else
14:27.44HachimanWhich is why Shepard is leader
14:27.45ImperiosShe's not relateable
14:27.51MonetHachiman: That's what stops her form being a sue IMO.
14:28.07TechnobliteratorEither way, I don't think she's that great, just likeable
14:28.15TechnobliteratorMore likeable than Jack
14:28.24TechnobliteratorJack is such a bitch
14:28.26OluapPlayerJack was a cock in 2, but she got better in 3
14:28.26ImperiosJack is... alright
14:28.34ImperiosShe was kind of funny in 3
14:28.35HachimanJack is an easy target though, you should not be praised for being more likeable than Jack
14:28.38AdmiralPanda_Jack in 3 I liked
14:28.43TechnobliteratorI've heard she was better in 3
14:28.52TechnobliteratorI do not see how she is supposed to be likeable
14:28.52MonetI thikn part of my liking for her is her VA played a key character in Chuck, which I got into watching before I playeed Mass Effect.
14:29.02OluapPlayerShe became a biotic teacher
14:29.07TechnobliteratorThe whole, "oh she has no clothes on", is just stupid fanservice
14:29.17Technobliteratorbut has literally no reason to exist
14:29.35TechnobliteratorEven Miranda's is some proof of how she was designed to be like that, Jack's is pointless
14:29.35HachimanAnd Miranda's perfect ass and tits are not fanservice
14:29.47AdmiralPanda_her tattoos are her clothes- I'm not saying that to justify the fan service, I'm saying that because it's actually a serious cultural thing in a lot of the world
14:30.02ImperiosWouldn't call Jack's appearance fanservice
14:30.09ImperiosShe's ugly
14:30.14HachimanI would not consider Jack fanservice
14:30.16TechnobliteratorJack is not remotely likeable, either
14:30.19ImperiosYa
14:30.20AdmiralPanda_I've got a maori friend who takes literally any excuse he can to not wear a shirt because he's practically covered in tattoos
14:30.23MonetImperios: It is if you have a love for ink.
14:30.27ImperiosNnnnope
14:30.29Im_not_a_robotThe factors we have to build in are not just greenhouse heating, but also solar winds from the early star, impact induced releases of voletiles from bombardment and so on
14:30.32HachimanShe is supposed to look like a lesbian prison bitch
14:30.39ImperiosPOP
14:30.43ImperiosSQUISH
14:30.44ImperiosUH-UH
14:30.44OluapPlayerJack is fanservice for people who like flat-chested girls I guess
14:30.45ImperiosCICERO
14:30.46ImperiosLIPSHITZ
14:31.04AdmiralPanda_as to her likeability, tbh I find appeal in her utter un-likeability
14:31.15ImperiosThat's kinda her thing in 3
14:31.15TechnobliteratorI don't
14:31.27HachimanZaeed was a criminal character who was done much better than Jack
14:31.27ImperiosShe's so much of a psycho that it is mocked by the game itself
14:31.30MonetShe doesn't care what people think of her.
14:31.31Imperios"I WILL DESTROY YOU"
14:31.41AdmiralPanda_might just be me, but I find the fact that she's a prick a refreshing switch from the usual
14:31.41TechnobliteratorI think she is a pointless character and I never do her loyalty mission
14:31.43Technobliterator8D
14:31.53TechnobliteratorI do everyones' but her
14:31.54dromMonet: It is really taking its toll on my GPU: http://i.imgur.com/BxR011U.png
14:31.59HachimanI still do her loyalty mission because she is useful
14:32.04TechnobliteratorShe is not
14:32.05GhelaeMonet, Im_not_a_robot: Helium and hydrogen gas are very close to that critical velocity then, while neon is about one-third as fast.
14:32.06MonetI'll be honest though I did enjoy hearing her criminal record...like crashign a space station into a moon.
14:32.10OluapPlayerThat's a bit childish
14:32.17TechnobliteratorAnything she can do can be outdone by Samara
14:32.33GhelaeSo the problem with neon is mainly a matter of planetary formation, which isn't such a big problem.
14:32.54TechnobliteratorI'm pretty sure even Miranda can be as good of a biotic
14:33.01ImperiosDon't forget Jacob
14:33.01ImperiosCall me a heretic but I actually like Jacob
14:33.07TechnobliteratorI like Jacob
14:33.07ImperiosI will romance him the day I replay ME
14:33.08OluapPlayerSo do I
14:33.10HachimanOh I like Jacob as well
14:33.13TechnobliteratorJacob is a legend
14:33.20OluapPlayerRomancing Jacob is not a good idea
14:33.21TechnobliteratorThe only problem is he is an underused character
14:33.24MonetI missed him in 3.
14:33.24OluapPlayerHe cheats on you in 3
14:33.30ImperiosI know he will cheat on me
14:33.34HachimanGarrus is best bf
14:33.38ImperiosCan I kill him somehow in 3 though?
14:33.39Technobliterator^
14:33.54OluapPlayerIf you don't do his loyalty mission, he dies I think
14:33.54HachimanI would let Garrus calibrate me as much as he likes
14:33.55TechnobliteratorI think Thane is the better character, though
14:34.05ImperiosThat's actually what I will do in my next playthrough
14:34.09HachimanEh I find Thane meh
14:34.15ImperiosKill all of my boyfriends after sleeping with them
14:34.17TechnobliteratorReally? :       |
14:34.23ImperiosThane is fanservice
14:34.24TechnobliteratorHe has the best story of any of them
14:34.31OluapPlayerDear god, people have different opinions
14:34.32ImperiosExcept for girls
14:34.33ImperiosI think
14:34.42ImperiosWhat is fanservice for girls called?
14:34.42TechnobliteratorPeople have wrong opinions
14:34.43Technobliterator8D
14:34.44ImperiosManservice?
14:34.50OluapPlayerStill fanservice
14:34.50HachimanHe's a prick who tries to go after you even if you are in a romance
14:34.56ImperiosHe's literally male Samara
14:35.00OluapPlayerI suggest you never speak like that to me again
14:35.33MonetIts the Internet people! Different opinions exist.
14:35.34ImperiosAlien, kinda heartless but with an emotional, professional murderer, giant cleavage
14:35.43TechnobliteratorI thought it was established that everything I say is overexaggerated already
14:35.47ImperiosCome to think about it
14:35.52HachimanYes but that does not make it any less irritating
14:35.53ImperiosWhy does Samara's armour have a cleavage
14:36.03MonetImperios: Because Asari
14:36.31HachimanIt is not really armour
14:36.54HachimanI would say it is more ceremonial

14:38.25TechnobliteratorI don't do the romancing sidequest
14:38.29Technobliteratorit's pointless

14:39.22OluapPlayerWhen in doubt, romance best girl
14:39.25TechnobliteratorThis is a possible thing that can happen
14:39.37ImperiosI can't romance Tali if I'm female hur
14:39.39ImperiosUnfortunately

14:44.46TechnobliteratorAshley is insufferable
14:45.02TechnobliteratorI think it's between her and Jack for literally the worst
14:45.10HachimanExcept Jack gets better
14:45.13ImperiosMonet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxhBC7dsUBA Nothing beats this
14:45.14HachimanAshely does not
14:45.21OluapPlayerfuck aliens lmao fuck cerberus lmao
14:45.23TechnobliteratorMhm. But Jack starts worse
14:45.24OluapPlayerThat's Ashleyt
14:45.29TechnobliteratorYuuup
14:45.49MonetI thought Askey was being rational
14:45.59HachimanShe is a racist
14:46.05TechnobliteratorAny racism is not rational
14:46.14MonetAshley doesn't hate aliens. She was just antsy about aliens being on a super-top-secret prototype Alliance Frigate.
14:46.25HachimanYes, because she hates aliens
14:46.49TechnobliteratorAnd whining so much about how Shepard is with Cerberus when he is fighting the Reapers?
14:46.51MonetI thought it was because she was na Alliance Patriot.
14:46.52TechnobliteratorUgh
14:47.03OluapPlayerThat's a problem both her and Kaiden have
14:47.05ImperiosShe's like a space jingoist or something
14:47.07TechnobliteratorWell, I hate patriotism, so this does not make things better
14:47.10TechnobliteratorWell, yeah
14:47.10MonetTo be fair on her she only knows Cerberus to be terrorists.
14:47.13HachimanThe fact she is also aligned against Cerberus despite her own humanocentric beliefs is also both dumb and hypocritical
14:47.15Imperios'LIYANS
14:47.16TechnobliteratorBut I find Kaiden more tolerable
14:47.36OluapPlayerKaiden is like neutral, Ashley has negatives

14:48.27OluapPlayerWrex is not tragic
14:48.36HachimanThe krogans in general are tragic
14:48.43AdmiralPanda_tbh, the difference between Ash and Cerberus is the difference between pragmatism and extremism

14:48.57Technobliterator;____;
14:49.04OluapPlayerI find Wrex miles more entertaining than Thane
14:49.08HachimanAye
14:49.13HachimanThe krogans are great characters
14:49.13*** join/#sporewiki TekDroid (~TekDroid@24.114.71.39)
14:49.15TechnobliteratorEntertaining, I will agree
14:49.23HachimanThane is just edgy
14:49.35MonetOkay reading up Ashley's opinion on Turians is sort-of justified: Her Grandfather was a member of the Shanxi.
14:49.37TechnobliteratorNope
14:49.46AdmiralPanda_anyway, I'ma avoid the fan-wank for a while, my favourite characters are Tali because I find the quarians as a whole cool, and Jack because she's a rebel prick and I find that refreshing
14:49.49MonetShangxi garrison*
14:49.56OluapPlayerTali is a cute
14:50.04HachimanTali has dog legs :p
14:50.09TechnobliteratorI am indifferent regarding Tali
14:50.11OluapPlayerPerfect for hugging
14:50.14Hachimanayy
14:50.18OluapPlayerSo does Garrus u dunce
14:50.23HachimanYeah but
14:50.28HachimanAlright fair point hur
14:50.39dromTurians and Quarians does
14:50.52TechnobliteratorAm I remembering wrong or was ME3's cast really unremarkable?
14:51.04HachimanME3's cast was small but I find them memorable
14:51.05OluapPlayerYou're wrong
14:51.28TechnobliteratorI literally remember no character but EDI
14:51.35ImperiosTraynor
14:51.41OluapPlayerYou just dislike the game then
14:51.41ImperiosCOMMUNDAH
14:51.43TechnobliteratorWho?
14:51.47OluapPlayerGarrus, Tali, Liara, JAVIK
14:51.56MonetALso I <3 Ashley because she quotes Ulysses.
14:52.03ImperiosSamantha is only matched by Tali in cuteness
14:52.09TechnobliteratorThe former three I didn't count because they were ME1 characters, the latter was DLC
14:52.15ImperiosAlso chess
14:52.15Technobliteratorwho I didn't count because DLC
14:52.21OluapPlayerYour loss
14:52.22HachimanEDI is not an ME3 character
14:52.38TechnobliteratorShe is an ME3 squad member
14:52.40OluapPlayerJavik is awesome
14:52.46OluapPlayerIntroduced in ME2
14:52.51TechnobliteratorI agree, but he was DLC
14:52.58OluapPlayerWho gives a shit
14:53.04OluapPlayerStill part of the game
14:53.40TechnobliteratorPart of the game in every sense except for some lock that they lazily coded in to force DLC
14:53.50OluapPlayerNot my problem
14:53.51TechnobliteratorThat's something EA imposed on them, I bet
14:54.13TechnobliteratorEither way, ME3's new characters bar Javik, I found unremarkable
14:54.36MonetI wasn't entirely keen on Vega.
14:54.43HachimanI find Vega cool hur
14:54.51TechnobliteratorI don't even remember Vega
14:55.04OluapPlayerVega is like Kaidan or Jacob to me
14:55.13OluapPlayerI like him but I don't find him spectacular
14:55.18HachimanHe's a good guy to have banter with and I like the fact he tries to keep his relationship with Shepard professional in the Citadel DLC unless you persist
14:55.20MonetI found him stubbourn
14:55.30OluapPlayerOh he is stubborn
14:55.52OluapPlayerA bit too rebellious too
14:55.53MonetShepard announces Anderson ordered the Normandy to leave Earth -> his repsonse is "wtf seriously?"
14:56.24TechnobliteratorI hated the alliance, and the Council
14:56.46HachimanSo you hate a majority of the games then
14:57.04TechnobliteratorHonestly, I hate Cerberus as well, but I find the Illusive Man a very well written character
14:57.14TechnobliteratorKai Leng, not so much
14:57.18OluapPlayerIf you hate the Council I'm surprised you make fiction with Borealis
14:57.22MonetKai Leng is Sollow.
14:57.22HachimanNobody likes Kai Leng
14:57.31OluapPlayerNO ONE likes Kai Leng, he's the worst character in the franchise
14:57.42TechnobliteratorI like the idea of the Council
14:57.58MonetKai Leng exists to eb a total asswipe so that killing him is the greatest feeling in the whole damn world.
14:58.02TechnobliteratorI do not like the "We have dismissed that claim" Council
14:58.11MonetTHat was only one of them
14:58.30TechnobliteratorThey spent so many years convincing themselves the Reapers didn't exists
14:58.36MonetAnd to be fair on the guy when the Reapers *did* attack he asked you to go to Palavven.
14:58.42TechnobliteratorI didn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy when the Reapers did attack
14:59.01OluapPlayerThe Citadel DLC reveals they believed the Reapers were coming from the beginning
14:59.12OluapPlayerWhy they chose to keep it hidden I'm not sure, probably to stop a mass panic
14:59.20HachimanAye
14:59.25TechnobliteratorThat does not make them any more endearing to me
14:59.28MonetVery likely yes
14:59.42OluapPlayerI'm talking facts, whether you like them or not doesn't concern me
15:00.11MonetAlthough the Turian was written to be critical of Shepard you no matter what the PC did.
15:00.33HachimanHonestly I'd have preferred if Captain Kirrahe replaced Thane as a companion given I find him more personable and entertaining
15:00.58TechnobliteratorIf you literally lie to everyone about the existence of an army of robots that can destroy the galaxy and do nothing to stop abducting colonies while Cerberus does, then honestly, that's a pathetic council
15:01.00HachimanNot as tragic by any means but Kirrahe is <3
15:01.20OluapPlayerWhat are they gonna do? Throw rocks at them?
15:01.32TechnobliteratorTell everyone to watch out?
15:01.41HachimanThat would only cause mass panic
15:01.44TechnobliteratorSo?
15:01.47MonetTechnobliterator: That sort of news report would simply cause mass panic and a spike in suicides.
15:01.57OluapPlayer"Why is mass panic bad"
15:01.58OluapPlayerHoly shit
15:02.07TechnobliteratorWould you rather someone told you that we were about to be invaded by aliens, or would you rather we were ready for them?
15:02.16HachimanBut they cannot be ready for them
15:02.24HachimanThey literally cannot fight Reapers in ME2
15:02.31ImperiosI think Kirrahe's speech in ME1 was kind of odd
15:02.37ImperiosIt was more weird than inspiring
15:02.53MonetImperios: Al lthat "we held the line" stuff?
15:02.54OluapPlayerIt was perfectly clear
15:03.04ImperiosYes but it was kind of hammy
15:03.11OluapPlayerLike that's a problem
15:03.36MonetImperios: Funnily enough Mordin admits he once served under Kirrahe. He knew of Kirrahe's speeches and confessted that really everyoen jsut wanted to get the job done and go home.
15:04.59HachimanBanter between Mordin and Kirrahe would have been funny hur
15:05.01MonetTechnobliterator: Which would make you more comfortable? Obliviousness or news that there is an annihilation force coming and we can do diddly-squat against them despite our best efforts?
15:05.23TechnobliteratorComfort? Seriously?
15:05.40TechnobliteratorI'd rather be told the truth than be lied to for "comfort", thank you very much
15:05.53MonetOkay fair enough
15:06.04OluapPlayerThat's you, and you're not N billion aliens
15:06.10DrodoEmpireTech: In the interests of societal stability the government would lie. Its not perhaps "right" but it would keep the society together and the government in power.
15:06.28TechnobliteratorThen the government are stupid
15:06.45DrodoEmpireThat goes for *any* great threat to *any* government at any time in human history.
15:06.55HachimanI do not think you understand that if the Citadel publicized the threat of the Reapers, there would be mass panic and hysteria which would lead to social upheavals and anarchy which would do more harm than good
15:07.01DrodoEmpire^^^^^^^^^
15:07.02TechnobliteratorThat's what happened during World War II
15:07.24DrodoEmpireDo you think the Polish Kingdom sent out heralds to every town and village proclaiming the Mongols were coming?
15:07.27DrodoEmpireOf course not.
15:07.31TechnobliteratorChamberlain tells us it's all fine, appeasement is working! We're not going to go to war with Hitler!
15:07.41TechnobliteratorAaaaaaand we went to war unprepared because he was a moron.
15:08.05MonetActually we went in better-prepared that in 1938.
15:08.18HachimanBut even if the Council did inform the public of the Reapers, they *still* could not have prepared to fight them
15:08.19Monetthan*
15:08.41DrodoEmpireThey'd sooner be able to prepare their government the best they were able and only break the news when they were at their doorstep.
15:08.58MonetDrodoEMpire: Which is what Cahmberlain did.
15:09.02MonetChamberlain*
15:09.03DrodoEmpireRight
15:09.16HachimanLike you literally missed the point that the Reapers, until ME3, were almost godlike in their capacity and defeating only *one* Reaper required the entirety of the Council's fleet to do
15:09.29TechnobliteratorNo, there is no point to miss
15:09.41TechnobliteratorIf they can prepare to fight the Reapers in ME3, they can prepare to fight them in ME2
15:09.46HachimanBut that's wrong
15:10.00TechnobliteratorOr they can at least investigate human colonies going missing
15:10.07OluapPlayerThe Reapers were only defeated because of the Cricible, which did not exist until ME3
15:10.11OluapPlayerCrucible even
15:10.25DrodoEmpireThe thing is Tech that you think that breaking the news to the people early would mean the people would immediately mean they'd organize and prepare. That isn't what would happen. They'd panic, and social order would break down to the point that there'd be no government to fight back by the time whatever threat has come by
15:10.29MonetWWII isn't the right analogy really because even the governments at the time knew that victory with Nazi Germany was a possibility.
15:10.32TechnobliteratorBut the Reapers were not attacking until ME3
15:10.32OluapPlayerConventional warfare cannot stop the Reapers, that is bashed against your head through the whole game
15:10.38DrodoEmpireAgain, I don't think its right, but still
15:10.47TechnobliteratorAnd you spend the whole game building up war assets
15:10.48DrodoEmpireMonet: A better analogy would be the Mongol Empire.
15:10.57OluapPlayerWhich, by themselves, do nothing
15:11.00AdmiralPanda_I really shouldn't come into this again, but there is a very specific reason the council didn't investigate the colonies: those colonies deliberately chose to leave the overview of the council
15:11.16OluapPlayerIf you choose the Refusal ending, the Crucible doesn't fire and the Reapers destroy modern civilization
15:11.17AdmiralPanda_like, it was literally part of the reason they were permitted to settle there
15:11.19TechnobliteratorThey could, at the very least, look into the problem, instead of just lie to everyone
15:11.43Monet"not our concern"
15:11.53OluapPlayerThey're an enemy which could only be stopped by a deus ex machina
15:12.19TechnobliteratorMhm. The whole Crucible thing was garbage
15:12.38OluapPlayerThe only purpose of the war assets is that too low on them and the Crucible will misfire, destroying Earth instead of the Reapers
15:12.43MonetThose colonies were not Systems Alliance. The Alliance didn't feel obligation towards protecting the colonies of the Terminus Systems because those colonies willingly went beyond the Alliance's policing zones.
15:13.24HachimanNonetheless, whether the Reapers are defeated or not, modern civilisation still pays a very heavy and major toll that, even with prior preparation, could not be prevented
15:13.58MonetCrowds are not rational.
15:14.02HachimanExactly
15:14.13MonetCrowds are ruled by emotion.
15:14.24AdmiralPanda_"The person is wise, the people are foolish." < one of my favourite quotes
15:15.00DrodoEmpire^
15:15.06HachimanIn fact if the Council / Alliance did publicise the disappearances of entire settlements then it is likely more colonies would have separated from overview and allowed the Reapers a much more significant edge
15:15.33HachimanIf not destroyed themselves
15:15.38GhelaeAdmiralPanda_: This discussion reminded me of a similar quote in Men in Black, which is of course on the actual topic of alien threats to humanity.
15:16.40MonetIf the Council amditted that fighting the Reapers was a futile effort then all they're going ot get is a mass of angry aliens demanding why nothing can be done.
15:16.45TechnobliteratorBoy, would I be livid if I found out something like Men in Black was real :p
15:17.35MonetThey're also going ot get a number of aliens who might go "fuck it, gonna die anyway" and look to join the Reapers.
15:17.35*** join/#sporewiki dino82_ (52b0ddef@gateway/web/freenode/ip.82.176.221.239)
15:17.48Technobliteratorhi dino
15:17.49GhelaeHello.
15:17.55MonetHello
15:18.41MonetThe only people who benefit from the Council coming clean with the Reapers are the Reapers themselves and the Citadel council's detractors.
15:19.02MonetAs well as any organised crime ring who might be able to profit off the hysteria.
15:19.10DrodoEmpire^
15:19.43TechnobliteratorI think it would be nice if someone who is investigating into the Reapers could at least have the Council tell them that they are aware of it but keep it a secret, but even then I wouldn't like it
15:20.11HachimanYou are not supposed to like it
15:20.14TechnobliteratorHow they handle it just annoys me
15:20.19HachimanME is not intended to be idealistic
15:21.27TechnobliteratorI didn't like the Council, no
15:21.35dino82_hello
15:21.42dino82_how is allz doing?
15:21.43MonetI believe that the open dismissals we get are in public places - the Human embassy and the Citadel Tower. Places that are monitored by security cameras and possibly snooping papperazzi.
15:21.48TechnobliteratorI enjoyed playing the game, and I enjoyed the narrative
15:22.02Im_not_a_robotdrom:  http://imgur.com/gallery/BmvqYl0
15:22.12TechnobliteratorBut the narrative is meant to throw things at you that you won't like
15:22.22TechnobliteratorAnd did so perfectly until the Crucible
15:23.01HachimanI was not even bothered by the existence of the Crucible; I was more bothered by the entity of the Crucible and the circumstances of the ending
15:23.07HachimanThe Crucible as a plot device is fine
15:23.10Im_not_a_robotdrom, Hachi:  http://imgur.com/gallery/dQmbg
15:23.32TechnobliteratorThe Crucible as a plot device made sense, as a weapon that was just added to by every new generation
15:23.33dromIm_not_a_robot: That's the most metal thing I've ever heard
15:23.52TechnobliteratorOf course, they had to ruin that, but that's EA for you
15:23.59ImperiosThe revelation that the crucible was just an energy source was pretty stupid
15:24.08OluapPlayerThe Crucible would have been more bearable if it had been hinted at since the first game, but that's impossible since there was a change of writers between 2 and 3
15:24.16DrodoEmpiredino: I'm fine, thanks
15:24.21TechnobliteratorWell, yeah
15:24.36TechnobliteratorI'm hoping they fix this come ME:Andromeda
15:24.37dromDemn hips: http://i.imgur.com/df0WGsE.jpg
15:24.45MonetTechnobliterator: From what I've heard, ME3's ending is why you don't have a single writer who ignores constructive feedback.
15:24.47Technobliteratorbut I hope we don't fight the Reapers again
15:25.13HachimanYou won't
15:25.23TechnobliteratorThis is good
15:25.36HachimanI've read ME:A spoilers and the circumstances of the game are entirely separated from ME3
15:25.49HachimanWell, almost
15:25.57TechnobliteratorAll they have said is that it has nothing to do with Shepard's story
15:26.01OluapPlayerPossible spoilers for a game not coming out until next year
15:26.03MonetI believe its an unwritten rule that during a story brainstorm you throw away the first idea. Every time.
15:26.09OluapPlayerDon't just bgelieve everything you read at Reddit
15:26.17TechnobliteratorIt's coming out next year? .__.
15:26.23dino82_:d
15:26.39TechnobliteratorWelp, here's hoping this isn't another EA rush
15:27.02HachimanGiven how long ME:A has been planned I doubt it'll be rushed
15:27.39dromHachiman: Ya Granpa is on it again: http://i.imgur.com/KeHwKDL.jpg
15:27.41TechnobliteratorI'm too used to games taking ages to come out by now
15:28.08TechnobliteratorI can't come to terms with the fact that MGSV is coming out so soon
15:28.43MonetModern AAA games are quite similar to films - hude budgets, huge special effects, and an automatic dissapointment if they didn't take more than 2 1/2 years to make.
15:30.00HachimanHonestly I do not think the entirety of the problem is with development and publishing studios
15:30.12HachimanI feel the gaming community as a whole has become far more entitled
15:30.30MonetI'm going to agree there
15:30.38TechnobliteratorI don't
15:30.47TechnobliteratorI just think publishers are getting worse
15:30.56HachimanSee what I mean hur
15:31.01Technobliteratoralso I hate Konami and hope they tank after MGSV
15:31.18Technobliteratorand all go bankrupt and end up homeless on the streets starving
15:31.24Technobliteratorafter what they did to their employees
15:31.42OluapPlayerWhat Konami has done is unforgivable
15:31.53HachimanAye
15:31.57OluapPlayerReducing Castlevania to a fanservice pachinko machine
15:32.05OluapPlayerJust remembering it makes me angry
15:32.09DrodoEmpireWell I mean consumers sort-of have a right to be entitled. :p You're parting with your money for a product.
15:32.09MonetThere are lots of people out there who don't have too high a standard. THere are others who will whine if the game they get isn't a masterpiece. Guess which group is most vocal on formus.
15:32.10TechnobliteratorI hate the fact that I'll have to buy MGSV from them
15:32.11Technobliteratorgrrrr
15:32.19DrodoEmpireThey have every right to hold a high standard
15:32.35TechnobliteratorOkay, but you can just ignore fanboy whiners, because they're idiots
15:32.50TechnobliteratorI love lots of games that I don't think are perfect
15:32.52MonetBut they're often the only ones the develoeprs hear from.
15:33.02DrodoEmpireIts not like its a charity put on by video game companies. :p
15:33.08TechnobliteratorI just went on a whole tirade about how I hate some of the stuff in ME
15:33.12OluapPlayerThat's the developers' fault for not understanding how the world works
15:33.38MonetOluapPlayer: I think both sides migh tbe to blame.
15:33.41TechnobliteratorI stil consider ME2 to be one of the best games released, and one of the best of last console gen
15:33.53Technobliteratorthen again best of last console gen isn't saying much
15:33.58Technobliteratorbecause last console gen was cancer
15:34.02MonetThese whiners are the only ones giving feedback - which is what changes and (ideally) improves a produce.
15:34.12Monetproduct*
15:34.18OluapPlayerWhiner feedback is generally not constructivew
15:34.23OluapPlayerThey just say "IT'S SHIT"
15:34.28OluapPlayerAnd expect it to be changed
15:34.43AdmiralPanda_with very few exceptions, developers aren't the problem. There's a twofold issue of a whiny player base and publishers who don't understand how video game development works.
15:35.15TechnobliteratorEA seems to be getting less bad, but I'm not holding out hope
15:35.23TechnobliteratorUbisoft is getting worse, Konami is getting worse
15:35.37HachimanNo, EA is still the same, it is just Konami is getting worse by comparison
15:35.40OluapPlayerEA is still the devil, it just got a few baddies
15:35.45OluapPlayerbuddies*
15:36.05TechnobliteratorEA > Actvision, though
15:36.06AdmiralPanda_the AAA industry as a whole is dying, ideally the result of this is publishers resuming their position as enablers of developers, rather than their masters and commanders
15:36.06OluapPlayerThe main villain of the new Mirror's Edge game looks almost identical to the EA CEO
15:36.09OluapPlayerThat humours me to this day
15:36.12ImperiosI say it's time for a socialist revolution
15:36.35TechnobliteratorReally, other than SE and first party publishers, I don't really like any publishers right now
15:36.36OluapPlayerGo wrestle bears and drink vodka ruskie
15:36.59TechnobliteratorIndie publishers count too, of course
15:37.45HachimanThere will come a time though when there will be no such thing as Indie developers
15:37.47MonetPublishers handle the marketing side of game release
15:37.57HachimanIndies and third parties are becoming more intertwined
15:38.17AdmiralPanda_there will always be indies
15:38.22ImperiosI am not a russkie u
15:38.25dromKeep in mind that publisher and distributor aren't the same thing
15:38.25TechnobliteratorUnless the platforms for releasing games changes drastically, I don't think that will happen, no
15:38.53AdmiralPanda_Monet: Ideally they should, but as it stands currently the major publishers set the development cycle, which is utterly retarded
15:39.16MonetAdmiralPanda: Usually to coincide with their fiscal quarters.
15:39.25AdmiralPanda_precisely
15:39.28TechnobliteratorSquare Enix used to be the EA of Japan, but they've improved now so it's ok
15:39.44AdmiralPanda_the real reason there's a CoD every year is because EA demands that there be one to meet the holiday demand
15:39.57TechnobliteratorActivision demands there to be one
15:40.03TechnobliteratorActivision are cancer
15:40.07OluapPlayerReminds me of Sonic 06
15:40.13AdmiralPanda_ok can you stop calling things cancer?
15:40.15Technobliteratoroh, Sega
15:40.26OluapPlayerRushed to be released at the holiday, ended up one of the worst games of all time
15:40.39TechnobliteratorI don't recall Sega doing anything too bad other than making garbage Sonic games no one cared for
15:40.45dromAdmiralPanda_: In that case then, I'll just call them crayfish
15:41.08dromIn the Swedish language, crayfish is an old slang term for cancer
15:41.13DrodoEmpireTech: Dunno if its more Sega's or Creative Assembly's fault but Rome II Total War sucked shit... :p
15:41.15MonetAdmiralPanda_: I agree. Activision's a company. They're a cancerous to society as bankers.
15:41.46OluapPlayerThe game would still be shit even if wasn't rushed (it has humans kissing dead hedgehogs folks) but the release version ended up looking like an alpha build
15:41.48MonetThey suck, but that's where peopel get their money and realise their deams.
15:41.52AdmiralPanda_describing something as cancerous is one thing, actually calling them cancer is another thing entirely
15:42.25MonetAhh right
15:42.50AdmiralPanda_I agree, their development is indeed cancerous in nature, but actual cancer, as in the disease, is different.
15:43.14MonetYeah being cancer implies that no one wants it and it lonly lives to cause pain and suffering
15:43.34OluapPlayerdats a gud description of hachi
15:43.40AdmiralPanda_That and the fact that cancer is a serious matter and should not be used lightly.
15:44.02MonetHonestly, witohut game publishers we wouldn't have a triple-A market and the video game scene would be years behind.
15:44.10OluapPlayerNot everyone is as sensitive on the matter
15:44.42AdmiralPanda_it's not a matter of sensitivity, it's a matter of recognising the severity of the matter
15:45.10DrodoEmpireYes, its an offensive term. That's the point. :p
15:45.12AdmiralPanda_I'm far from sensitive about the matter, I've accepted it a long time ago, but I know how serious it is
15:45.19DrodoEmpireNot that I necessarily agree, but still
15:45.24DrodoEmpire*agree with its use
15:45.51OluapPlayerThink of it as a synonym of "I don't like it", that's how most people use the term on the internet
15:45.58OluapPlayerIt rarely has anything to do with the actual disease
15:46.11AdmiralPanda_that's exactly what I have a problem with
15:46.16MonetWhat we're seeing then might be internet shorthand
15:46.25DrodoEmpireWell yes its internet shorthand
15:46.30HachimanRetarded is a similar case
15:46.31ImperiosI think of it in the term of "something that propagades uncontrollably and takes over everything good and worthwhile thanks to their numbers"
15:46.32DrodoEmpireThat's the long and short of it
15:46.37TechnobliteratorIt's like how most people say "retarded", but they never mean "mentally disabled"
15:46.51AdmiralPanda_it's become so overused it's lost meaning- one of the most serious health issues facing humanity has become little more than internet slang for something they don't like, and it pisses me the hell off
15:46.54TechnobliteratorI personally don't say "retarded" anymore, though
15:47.09OluapPlayerThis is very typical 4chan speech
15:47.27MonetYou get people who type it and think "eh, same thing" and other people start getting similar ideas.
15:47.39OluapPlayerThey love spouting cancerous, autistic, retarded, gay, but all of it culminates to "I don't agree with you so I'll add an insult to my sentence"
15:47.42MonetThe Inception meme is another example.
15:47.50TechnobliteratorI don't feel the need to enforce political correctness unless someone is very sensitive regarding the subject
15:47.54ImperiosHuh
15:48.09OluapPlayerAnonymity does this to people
15:48.15AdmiralPanda_again, difference between political correctness and dealing with an actual serious issue
15:48.22DrodoEmpireIts boorish and immature yes but really its nothing to get too worked up about in my opinion
15:48.35TechnobliteratorWell, anonymity and justs being surrounded by other people who are equally offensive
15:48.35ImperiosIn Russia "cancer" as an insult is mostly confined to MOBAS
15:48.37OluapPlayerAnyway brb
15:48.38ImperiosMOBAs
15:48.52AdmiralPanda_fuck it, I've been in a bad mood all day

15:49.00ImperiosPandas
15:49.17ImperiosWanna play Dota, Jo?
15:49.29TechnobliteratorSorry, I'm not at home at the moment
15:49.32ImperiosRight
15:49.35TechnobliteratorI could when I'm back, though
15:49.38ImperiosWe can do fiction with Mon then
15:49.48ImperiosOr I could revise my Korean
15:49.51TechnobliteratorI might work on a page or two
15:49.58ImperiosOr do Fog War stuff
15:49.59MonetTake Inception
15:50.00TechnobliteratorSorry that I started this whole discussion
15:50.00ImperiosChoices choices
15:50.16TechnobliteratorThis is mostly my fault
15:50.32MonetIn Oxford Inglish, "inception" is the act of beginning something. Thanks to CHristopher Nolan it more likely means "to put something in something into something else"
15:50.55MonetEnglish*
15:51.33ImperiosI think in Nolan's move it implied that rather than just putting an idea into someone's head, the protagonists had to make someone concieve the idea
15:51.54MonetImperios: Spot on.
15:53.21MonetCome to think of it, Internet shorthand has the nasty habit of turning metaphors into nouns and verbs.
15:54.03DrodoEmpireInternet shorthand has the nasty habit of being unbearably stupid
15:54.04DrodoEmpire:p
15:54.15ImperiosSpeaking of the term "cancer"
15:54.32HachimanIn honesty I think people are being too sensitive and looking too deep into it
15:54.38ImperiosIts use actually evolved in a very interesting way in Russia
15:54.44ImperiosInteresting to me as a linguist at least
15:55.15MonetPanda's opinio might be from his medical background.
15:55.40OluapPlayerThe Fog War is on hiatus
15:55.42HachimanIf you think "cancer" is a stupid term that should not be used by merit of it meaning something otherwise unrelated, stop using the word "shit"
15:55.56OluapPlayerI need Xho to lead the next section but he refuses to rp
15:56.03OluapPlayerSo I can't continue it in any way
15:56.07ImperiosAnyway here's what happened in Russia
15:56.21TechnobliteratorWhich section?
15:56.24ImperiosThe Russian word for "cancer" is actually the same as the one for "crayfish"
15:56.30OluapPlayerThe next one
15:56.41TechnobliteratorYou could always do the sections afterwards to post them for when he gets back
15:56.51ImperiosIn the 2000s it as an insult was used solely as referring to the disease
15:57.01OluapPlayerI can't do that, this is the section where Telfinne gets descended
15:57.03ImperiosWhile at the same time in WoW the term "crab" was commonly used
15:57.13Technobliteratorah, alright
15:57.29TechnobliteratorHe'll probably come around
15:57.41ImperiosCrab as in "has pincers for hands, cannot play"
15:57.46OluapPlayerIt's not because he's away, it's because he refuses to rp
15:57.57OluapPlayerBecause of that I actually can't do any fiction at all
15:57.58ImperiosThen in the 2010s Dota players kinda united two terms together
15:58.06ImperiosNow we call people "cancers"

15:58.24Technobliteratorhi Cyr
15:58.33CyrannianIs IRC weird for anyone else?
15:58.39HachimanYes
15:58.41OluapPlayerIt's normal
15:58.50Imperios"You are a disgusting disease that breeds incessantly and kills all living things AND you have pincers for hands"
15:58.54HachimanFunny because Cancer is represented by a crab in the Western Zodiac
15:59.02ImperiosCancer does mean crab/crayfish
15:59.08TechnobliteratorIt's only for the web client
15:59.19OluapPlayerI can't continue the Fog War because I need Xho to lead, I can't continue my Borealis plots for the same reason, I have nothing else to do
15:59.27ImperiosThat's pretty much how we call everyone in Dota
15:59.30ImperiosAnd that's what we are in Dota
15:59.46MonetImperios: In Europe and the Americas, Cancer is one of the twelve zodiac figures. I recall that one of the names for the Twele Colonies was planned to be "Cancer"...until the disease was freshly discovered.
16:00.06ImperiosWe ARE the cancer of Dota 2
16:00.08MonetThis was back in 1978
16:00.10TechnobliteratorAlso, Imperios, download the Reborn client
16:00.11ImperiosAnd we have pincers for hands
16:00.16TechnobliteratorDota 2 custom maps are <3
16:00.23Technobliteratorand I don't have ridiculous lag in Reborn
16:00.26ImperiosMy videocard is blown up
16:00.30ImperiosI do not think I can handle it
16:00.30MonetTo alleviate the "too soon" vibe, "Cancer" was renamed to "Orion"
16:00.38TechnobliteratorReborn should be easier on lower specs
16:00.44ImperiosAh
16:01.45Technobliteratoroh boy
16:01.54TechnobliteratorI still haven't started the First Ottzello Galactic War
16:02.05Technobliteratorie, the war I was rewriting the Perils of Ottzello for in the first place
16:02.06Technobliterator>.<
16:03.02TechnobliteratorI'm wondering if the Grand Ottzel Order should stick around
16:05.38ImperiosWill try it now
16:05.51Im_not_a_robotMonet:  Cancer was discovered as soon as 1978?
16:06.44Im_not_a_robotCyrannian:  Yeah I hate that everyone's nick is orange-brown but the side panel nicks still have colours.  Whats the point in that
16:07.37CyrannianDon't like that either
16:08.38dromYa all need a proper IRC client!
16:09.01Im_not_a_robotfuk off wit ur fancy wancy web cliunts
16:09.53drom>implying i'm using web client
16:10.00dromnigga, I'm using a desktop client
16:10.50MonetIm_not_a_robot: Earlier but I think there was a huge spike in publicity over the 20th century
16:11.12MonetSo maybe not freshly discovered
16:11.19MonetMore like "widely popularised"
16:12.31Im_not_a_robotI see because I recall back in the 1920s a physician noticed that throat cancer miracously healed in a patient because it got infected, leading him to realise infection activated the immune system which unfortunately doesn't happen enough
16:13.34MonetCancer can emerge from the cell not being destroyed quickly enough
16:14.20Technobliteratorokay, it's late, but
16:14.25Technobliteratorhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Captain:Durzhan giff quotes
16:14.59MonetBut that's not to say that infection therapy is the ideal cure, there's a reason why radiotherapy is much mroe commonly used.
16:15.17Technobliteratortest
16:15.58MonetAnd with advances in technology, radiotherapy is becoming increasingly mroe precise and less likely to cause other problems
16:18.06MonetTechnobliterator: I could quote with Corteus maybe. Trying to think which of my characters would know him.
16:18.15Im_not_a_robotWhat happens is that the immune system doesn't recognise cancer cells (actually it does and eliminates them all the time, but this is the case of disease causing ones).  But when infected, some immune cells are so violent they kill everything
16:18.18TechnobliteratorSure
16:18.33TechnobliteratorI don't know if the DI would have been in Ottzello, but Durzhan has been around for 3 million years
16:19.05Im_not_a_robotIts not the infection that killed the cancer, but the immune system happened to wake up and identify the cancer as not normal
16:19.05MonetTechnobliterator: We discussed the possibility the DI had colonised Ottzello before it was destroyed
16:19.18TechnobliteratorYeah, that can still happen
16:19.38TechnobliteratorThey could maybe show up in the First or Second Ottzello Wars
16:19.50MonetAh! Maybe a Draconid praetor?
16:20.03TechnobliteratorPossibly :o
16:20.08Im_not_a_robotSome research today is based on trying to make the immune system identify cancer cells as a threat, and thast would be revolutionary.
16:20.24TechnobliteratorIm_not_a_robot, you're wormy, right? :p
16:20.27Im_not_a_robotyeah
16:21.09Im_not_a_robotMy nick is based on webchats new captcha where you simply tick "Im not a robot".  Surprised this nick wasn't taken already so I took it
16:21.38HachimanImperios: https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11885351_1619709764944169_7724287084813464762_n.jpg?oh=e188733fd588caeb01ca56492c58f034&oe=566FB771
16:22.03MonetIm_not_a_robot: It would be revolutionary. Certainly
16:22.51TechnobliteratorNot many people use the web client, in my experience
16:22.59TechnobliteratorThen again, I'm on tons of channels
16:23.27Im_not_a_robotPeople normally think of future cancer treatments involving tiny robots.  But if you could get your natural biobots to do the same then that is just as good
16:23.42Im_not_a_robotand much cheaper/efficient
16:24.17MonetIt sounds like there could be dangers to it
16:24.24Im_not_a_robotI'm just happy using freenode
16:24.51MonetOne of the dangers of a sterile environment is eventually, the immune system has nothing to fight. And responds by attacking anything.
16:24.51Im_not_a_robotI did use Xchat for a while
16:25.06MonetTUrning on the body
16:25.20TechnobliteratorI thought xchat was Linux only
16:25.21Technobliteratorhuh
16:26.02MonetA healthy immune system is essentially too preoccupied fighting foreign pathogens to attack the body itsp rotecting.
16:27.34TechnobliteratorIm_not_a_robot, do you want to be in the First Ottzello Galactic War, briefly?
16:27.45Im_not_a_robotI agree, but if you could apply the immune system is a more directed way like making it tell what a cancer cell is (and it does most of the time) then that would be better than making it attack everything (which is probably harmful in the other ways, we often feel ill because it takes a lot of energy)
16:27.49TechnobliteratorBasically, the DCP should get involved in the war briefly, and then the war turns into the DCP vs Loron War
16:28.09Im_not_a_robotJo:  It could explain why the DCP were there
16:28.12Technobliteratorie, it stops being an Ottzello war because the Loron only care about fighting the DCP later
16:28.14Technobliteratoryeah
16:28.47Technobliteratordino82_, would the Rambo Nation have existed then?
16:29.36dino82_@Jo: When??? The Rambo are now about 460 years in space
16:29.46dino82_from current timeframe
16:30.08TechnobliteratorAh, they would be around then
16:30.27TechnobliteratorCould they be involved?
16:31.37dino82_sure
16:31.47dino82_with old or newer ships? (V1 or the newer ones?)
16:31.51Technobliteratorwoo
16:31.58Technobliteratorhm, probably older ones
16:32.08TechnobliteratorCyrannian, do you want to get CyraFed involved?
16:32.13dino82_nice
16:34.49Im_not_a_robotJo:  XChat is on Linux and Windows, I used to be a Linux fan and even had it running on my old computer
16:36.17Im_not_a_robotUbuntu I think it was
16:36.26TechnobliteratorI use ubuntu :o
16:37.06Im_not_a_robotThe version I had, had loads of nerdy science and mathematical apps
16:37.42Im_not_a_robotnot that I'm complaining
16:39.16DrodoEmpireBe back later
16:39.29CyrannianTechnobliterator: How many years ago did it take place again?
16:40.05TechnobliteratorIt was around...20 years before the Second Ottzello War? So, like, Tigris War time or so? ?___?
16:40.36CyrannianCool so the URC could be involved
16:40.41Im_not_a_robotI probably would change back but I'd have to get all my software and games working on it so probably never will on my current machine
16:40.50Technobliteratoroh, sure
16:42.08TechnobliteratorThe plot of the First Ottzello War is meant to be pretty simple. It's just, everyone goes for Loron, Loron win anyway
16:42.09Technobliterator:P
16:42.23CyrannianPerhaps we could also use the Ottzello Libertus
16:42.30TechnobliteratorMhm, yeah
16:48.51Technobliteratorbbl
16:56.03MonetIm_not_a_robot, Ghelae: I just realsied something. I've heard that water boils at a lower temperature higher up in the Earth's atmosphere.
16:56.13Im_not_a_robotYes
16:56.28MonetSo on Alcanti...would the boiling point of water be higher?
16:56.44GhelaeIs the atmospheric pressure on Alcanti lower than on Earth?
16:56.49Ghelaehigher*
16:56.58MonetIt is
16:56.59GhelaeIf so, yes.
16:57.10Im_not_a_robot^
16:57.38MonetWould that change the melting point as well?
16:57.49Im_not_a_robotI believe it would
16:58.20Im_not_a_robothttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Phase_diagram_of_water.svg/700px-Phase_diagram_of_water.svg.png
16:59.18MonetI'm jsut wondering the plausability of there still being ice on a planet with a global temperature of 37 degrees
17:00.45MonetThough this chart suggests that Water's melting point doesn't change until 10,000atm
17:01.07GhelaeThere might be snow in winter, but I doubt Alcanti would have permanent ice caps.
17:01.26Im_not_a_robotActually accordting to that diagram, not by a lot until less than 1 kPa, below of which ice sublimates
17:03.46MonetPermanent ice caps isn't so bad.
17:04.06MonetI've always written Minos'Drakon as being within a tundra region.
17:04.47GhelaeRemember, twice Earth's atmospheric pressure is only one little square above 1 atm on that phase diagram. There's basically no difference to the melting point, and the boiling point goes up by maybe 20 degrees.

17:09.40ImperiosMonet: ...You did?
17:10.09MonetImperios: I was inspired by that jungle region in Northrend
17:10.16ImperiosSholazar?
17:10.25MonetYeah
17:10.46ImperiosI always imagined it as looking kinda like Vatican and with a Mediterannean-esque climate
17:10.47Im_not_a_robothttp://imgur.com/gallery/HFklQ
17:12.23MonetImperios: You're kinda right about the mediterranian climate
17:13.18MonetThe idea was it's a valley that provides a warmer-than-average climate
17:13.25ImperiosAh
17:13.38ImperiosMaybe there are underground heat sources?
17:14.02MonetThere's a volcano on the valley rim so yeah, there's underground heat soures
17:14.30MonetThough I guess due to the northern latitude its filled with pine trees.
17:14.36OluapPlayerhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Vida%27Rranlora this had escaped my previous rewriting wave
17:14.40ImperiosDraconis - Eh
17:16.45ImperiosNow I wonder if there is a Database in Andromeda
17:17.26OluapPlayerLogically there should be
17:19.59MonetNeeds mentioning unless its lost
17:20.52OluapPlayerCan't mention something that has never been in a fiction
17:23.31MonetI do that all the time honestly.
17:23.54MonetIt helps enrich the pages.
17:24.09OluapPlayerI don't mention Databases who are not relevant to fiction
17:24.12ImperiosIt could be connected to the Nars
17:24.20ImperiosAnd held by the Anointed
17:25.16OluapPlayerAfter Tantum and the Gros I don't think doing fiction related to Andromeda is good for me
17:25.37ImperiosI think there is a way we could weave it into Fog War

17:29.50MonetHm, what about Post-RoG stuff?
17:29.53OluapPlayerSo far all I've done in Andromeda either ended terribly or ended incomplete
17:30.08OluapPlayerI don't see how that relates to me
17:30.51MonetBecause of their involvement, the Indocs would be considered a major threat to the Draconiane.
17:31.01Monetby the draconizane*
17:31.42OluapPlayerBy then the Indocs have already left Andromedaq
17:31.57OluapPlayer*Andromeda
17:32.04MonetWhy are they abandoning everywhere all of a sudden?

17:33.49OluapPlayerThe Indocs left Andromeda like, last year
17:34.12HachimanBorealis is becoming an increasingly beneficial prospect hur
17:35.04OluapPlayerThey left because of that plot Imp left unfinished
17:35.32OluapPlayerRather than continue having cultists spread into their worlds, they packed up and left
17:36.03MonetWhich plot?
17:36.24OluapPlayerNot even you remember it
17:36.34OluapPlayerThe one with Venoriel's daughter, Gavakar and Sarec
17:36.37MonetDo you mean the Shattering?
17:36.53OluapPlayerRevelations to Come
17:37.02OluapPlayerI think that was the name
17:37.46HachimanI remember that
17:38.08MonetI was under the impression the story was retconned into not happening
17:38.45OluapPlayerIt's still canon from what Imp told me. Kagu'sai is linked to it to some extent
17:39.49ImperiosYa
17:39.57ImperiosWe should try to redo it one day
17:40.01MonetI'm aware of it I just didn't expeect it to lead up to the Indocs leaving
17:40.45OluapPlayerI'd be willing to if you promised to finish it and rp not at the speed of snail

18:21.28dromOf which I think I can have another chance getting my new fiction involved
18:21.43ImperiosHachiman OluapPlayer: Is it true that less players play LoL?
18:21.46Imperios*less Russians
18:21.54GhelaeI was rereading most of the Andromeda War a few days ago an wondered what happened to the Shattering.
18:21.57OluapPlayerI don't know anything about LoL

18:30.30HachimanIf I recall 2797 was also supposed to be when Golden Movement started up
18:31.13ImperiosCrispy was supposed to play a large role in the story
18:31.14MonetI think you planned it around the time of New Dawn's conclusion.
18:31.21ImperiosAlso Crispy's boyfriend
18:31.27ImperiosAka Althron
18:31.31HachimanAh yes
18:31.56HachimanGives me more motivation to get the Acquisition Wars and Moxix stuff written up then
18:32.06HachimanSo I can move onto Golden Movement at last
18:32.19OluapPlayeraka never
18:32.52ImperiosSo you coming?
18:33.04HachimanYes
18:33.10ImperiosAlright
18:33.17HachimanI need stuff to do for the Brood other than die of course
18:34.40MonetHave a mega-party?
18:35.40MonetSOmetimes I wonder if the Andromeda War could do with tweaking
18:36.20MonetThe first part of it was supposed to be a DI-Divinarium war that ended up lasting about three battles.
18:36.44HachimanYeah I agree
18:36.53HachimanAlso need to introduce Andromedan Zazane kingdoms
18:37.00HachimanAnd the Brood unifying them hur
18:39.37MonetIt would be nice but also its the Andromeda War.
18:39.49MonetI tried making a comic out of it but gave up after page 2 I think
18:41.26Monethttp://spacer176.deviantart.com/art/Andromeda-War-Prologue-page-2-352044093 looking back, the shots I used weren't too bad
18:41.39ImperiosYou should try drawing it
18:41.48ImperiosWould be good practice for you
18:42.19MonetI think my lecturers are getting suspicious of my drawing preferences.
18:43.15Hachimandeyr onto ur scaliness
18:43.52MonetIt might not be so bad if I drew some non-draconic characters and scenes
18:44.12HachimanMeanwhile my tutors get suspicious of the fact I like to draw warrior women whenever drawing is required for a unit, particularly orcs or elves
18:45.46MonetI've been given two artistic suggestions by my course leader: Less dragons and less painterly style

19:07.43ImperiosOluapPlayer Hachiman: I saw a video of a WoW fan reviewing a D&D game
19:08.01ImperiosWhen he got to race choice he started complaining that he can only play as half-orcs and not normal orcs hur
19:08.52OluapPlayerDepending of the game you can play as normal orcs
19:09.02OluapPlayerPathfinder for example has stats for orcs
19:09.33Cyrannianhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/File:Vectors_of_Chaos_and_Order_01.png - For the second last NCW story
19:10.49ImperiosHuh looks cool
19:10.57ImperiosNow I wonder what faction is Chaos and what is ORder
19:11.03Technobliteratorok back
19:11.10TechnobliteratorI can begin First Ottzello War now maybe
19:11.45CyrannianWill be about the confrontation between the Primercer and Anteddy too
19:12.20OluapPlayerBig angry raptor simulator
19:12.55Technobliteratoralso that image looks very good
19:14.24CyrannianDanke
19:15.32Im_not_a_robotpolitics spoils everything http://www.wired.com/2015/08/won-science-fictions-hugo-awards-matters/
19:16.41Technobliteratoroh, ty for quote monet
19:16.58MonetIm_not_a_robot: i HTOUGHT hEINLEN DID INCLUDE A BIT OF POLITICS
19:17.03MonetSorry for caps
19:17.23Im_not_a_robotNot what its about
19:18.10Im_not_a_robotHugo awards have become the victim of right wingers who have played the voting system to filter out left wing-based stories
19:18.23MonetOh
19:18.33MonetI thought you meant politics in fiction lol
19:19.02Im_not_a_robotHowever the article uses a shit comparison
19:19.07Im_not_a_robot"Would sci-fi focus, as it has for much of its history, largely on brave white male engineers with ray guns fighting either a) hideous aliens or b) hideous governments who don’t want them to mine asteroids in space? Or would it continue its embrace of a broader sci-fi: stories about non-traditionally gendered explorers and post-singularity, post-ethnic characters who are sometimes not men and often even have feelings?"
19:20.47Im_not_a_robotA sci-fi story could easily have a transgendered person fighting hideous aliens for all I care, these tropes are not mutually exclusive.  *If* people on the left start abandoning such tropes like hideous aliens or totalitarian governments because they might elate to "white male oppressors" that is equally as wrong
19:21.04Im_not_a_robotimo
19:21.25Im_not_a_robotSo yes, both sides are probably fucking up the awards imo.  Fuck politics and fuck awards anyway
19:21.45Im_not_a_robotI just like reading sci-fi books at the end of the day
19:23.10MonetI think the popularity of hideos aliens came from COld War rhetoric if it means anything
19:27.28MonetAt least for the golden age of alien invasions
19:27.51MonetAnd War of the Worlds itself was a critique of British imperialism.

19:51.03Im_not_a_robotthat is a really nice planet http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/File:Kirioohsk.png
19:51.21Im_not_a_robotSpore planets may be cartoony but they can be pleasing
19:51.32Im_not_a_robotMakes me want to play Spore again.
19:52.19Cyrannianhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Planet:Kirioohsk - Take a look at the page too
19:52.54Im_not_a_robotHang on...
19:53.05Im_not_a_robotI'm afraid your image has been stolen.
19:53.19Im_not_a_robothttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User:Elder_Warlock
19:53.31Im_not_a_robotDid he ask permission to use that?
19:53.45Im_not_a_robotAnyways I'll read the page
19:53.51CyrannianIt's dino's planet and image, I'll ask him when he returns
19:54.23CyrannianThough inhabited by my Cargura, based on the Togruta
19:55.08Im_not_a_robotThe creatures and architecture of the buildings goes well with the planet
19:57.18MonetYeah some new user has decided ot stick the planet o nhis userpage.
19:58.02Im_not_a_robotHe should ask permission and stick a caption on giving Dino the credit.  But its probably innocent so no need to be harsh
20:16.22XhoHachiman: https://www.facebook.com/TheRealEspurr/videos/418729844996225/
20:31.07XhoBah
20:42.20Cyrannianhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:New_Cyrandia_Wars/Year_Two/Vectors_of_Chaos_and_Order - First few parts are up!
20:43.30HachimanXho: DO IT
20:46.01OluapPlayerchek dat shi yo
20:48.41HachimanTyrómairon: "His existence is an chronicle of arrogance and self-appointed authority. Ignorant of my true power. Through his destruction however, he shall transcend ignorance."
20:48.54HachimanIt would appear Antediluvian has no idea what hypocrisy means
20:49.18OluapPlayerAnteddy - im da best
20:50.21Xhohead hurts at dis
20:51.04HachimanI honestly dunno who to root for
20:51.41HachimanWell, no, obviously I am rooting for Voro
20:51.55HachimanBut I mean between the Primercer and the Emperor I am unsure
20:52.21XhoVoro has some pretty cool armour
20:52.27CyrannianI had a poll on my userpage and more people went for Anteddy I believe
20:52.40CyrannianThough probably because he's been around longer
20:52.41OluapPlayerThe conclusion of this fiction will be remarkable for the galaxy as a whole
20:52.49Xhoeveryonedies.avi
20:52.49OluapPlayerWhich is why Cyrannian needs to step up and keep writing
20:52.51HachimanOh boy
20:53.19HachimanI am hoping Voro manages to waste both the Primercer and the Emperor
20:53.33HachimanSo mortals can control Cyrannus once again
20:53.52XhoI dunno if Voro has that much military power behind him
20:53.54XhoOr does he
20:54.13CyrannianProbably not right now, but I'm glad people like Voro, I've been using him a lot more lately
20:54.42HachimanIsn't the Order allied with the NCR?
20:55.55CyrannianAye, it's even in the MCA
20:56.25HachimanHe should call for their reinforcements to absolutely gut the Empire and the Cognatus Empire at the opportune moment and try to take out two birds with one stone
20:57.16XhoI'm not quite sure who is more immoral, Tyro or Primercer
20:57.29XhoThey're both a bit on the psycho dictator spectrum
20:58.01HachimanAntediluvian is a dictator obsessed with law and imperialism, Primercer is a dictator obsessed with worship and zealousy
20:58.56XhoNo happy medium then
20:58.58CyrannianI think Tyromairón is both more sinister and yet arguably less selfish in that he does have a desire for order while the Primercer is more selfish in that he views the Coggies as a means to an end
20:59.22OluapPlayerPrimercer - freaky mouths ngh                 Cognatus - :C
20:59.58HachimanThe final battle between Antediluvian and the Primercer should be fantastic nonetheless though given how powerful each one of them are
21:00.07OluapPlayerGorf wins
21:00.11HachimanOr is, whatever
21:00.51Xhoplanets blow up pls
21:01.03CyrannianHopefully anyway, such battles between ultraterrestrials are difficult to plan and write
21:01.05OluapPlayeru blow up forever
21:01.05XhoI just ate a whole packet of Rolos to myself
21:01.11XhoI am now ashamed of myself
21:01.32HachimanOuch
21:01.42GhelAnteddy throws a planet at the Primercer and the planet explodes into Gorf. There everyone's happy.
21:02.15HachimanTheir battle should resort to a punching fest
21:02.21XhoWhat are the actual abilities of an Oikoumene
21:02.29XhoAside from shapeshifting
21:02.30CyrannianOr kicks to the Oikou-balls
21:02.32HachimanBack to square one given I doubt they can outmatch one another
21:03.24HachimanWill this be the end of the New Cyrandia Wars?
21:03.26CyrannianI kinda just mention their abilities in passing in stories rather than form a definitive guide on what they can or can't do
21:03.32OluapPlayerThis is the second to last plot
21:03.39OluapPlayerThere will be one more then the war is over
21:03.49HachimanAt long last
21:03.51CyrannianThere's one last battle between the Empire and the Imperial State which people can join if they want
21:04.09XhoKicath - gotta siranunno fast
21:04.11HachimanA unified Cyrannus will be good
21:04.13OluapPlayerWell there goes the secret
21:04.24OluapPlayerYes it's the final boss fight with the CIS scum
21:04.32HachimanAw yis
21:05.01CyrannianOh and the New Republic will be there too since they allied with the Empire against the Imperial State when they tried and start a war between them
21:05.10ImperiosThe Primercer is more underhanded to me
21:05.20HachimanSo Apollo and Antediluvian are bros now then
21:05.33ImperiosTyro relies more on planning while Primercer is more manipulative
21:05.39OluapPlayerNot bros
21:05.49OluapPlayerThey have a common enemy
21:06.18Hachimanrite
21:06.21ImperiosApollo - DIE CIS SCUM *tumblr tumblr*
21:06.34Imperiosspeaking of which
21:06.39Imperioshttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:The_Shattering#Saved_From_Cataclysm HOLY SHIT I ACTUALLY DID THIS
21:06.43ImperiosWE ACTUALLY DID THIS
21:06.46XhoI wonder what would become of Zillum and co. if the Imperial State blows up
21:07.05HachimanI cannot envision a Cyrannus without Zillum
21:07.07ImperiosHe deserted didn't he
21:07.17ImperiosHe's going to make his own little Zillakingdom now
21:07.23ImperiosCurrency is kittens
21:07.33CyrannianAye and in typical Zillium fashion by brutally murdering a Basileus in front of the CIS leader
21:07.46XhoZillum evolves into Zillumdocto and Zillumdoctos everything...at least that's what would go on in my head
21:07.48OluapPlayerZillum and Tyrant left the State after the Syndicate plot
21:07.48GhelImperios: Currency that is eaten is a bad idea.
21:08.06OluapPlayerThey're gonna do their own thing and leave the State to die because they're dumb
21:08.19OluapPlayerThe State is dumb that is
21:08.24CyrannianTyermaillin - ;<
21:08.56OluapPlayerTyrant - stoopid greenie
21:08.59XhoZillum - I'M GONNA GO MAKE MY OWN EMPIRE                      WITH BLACKJACK AND HOOKERS
21:09.23CyrannianXho: hur I was just reminded of that
21:09.28ImperiosMoch-Na becomes a hooker
21:09.34OluapPlayerew
21:09.35ImperiosAnd Tyrant provides the blackjack]
21:09.44XhoMortalitas hookers
21:09.49XhoWho in the Gigaquadrant would find that attractive
21:10.10OluapPlayerMortalitas men
21:10.14CyrannianA human version of Mortikran probably
21:10.15Xho...rite
21:10.21ImperiosSuddenly the phrase "Suck my dick, I am a shark" becomes a lot more interesting
21:10.31Hachimanolol
21:10.41HachimanEspecially given sharks tend to have two of them
21:10.44Xhoo deer
21:11.43XhoZí-Jittorám hookers                      All of a sudden suicide seems preferable
21:11.52ImperiosSpeaking of which
21:11.57Imperioshttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:The_Shattering#The_Last_of_the_Brotherhood WE FUCKING DID THIS
21:12.01ImperiosTOOK US FUCKING TWO YEARS
21:12.11ImperiosONE YEAR
21:12.12Xhosorry wat fiction is dis
21:12.20ImperiosNew Dawn sequel
21:12.34Xhou wat
21:12.35ImperiosBig ship explodes -> blows up all of Andromeda -> Andromeda falls apart
21:12.47ImperiosBasically 9/11 on a cosmic scale
21:13.17Hachimanhur
21:13.18XhoCyrannus at war and Andromeda is falling apart

21:14.15XhoAnd now Borealis is the safest place in the Gigaquadrant
21:14.42OluapPlayerThe safest place because I can't do fiction in it
21:15.13Cyrannianhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Lost_in_Space#Chapter_08 - This reminds me, Dino wrote a fiction set in a brothel recently
21:15.16XhoWell gimme a week and we can go back to Kamaris killing Zí-Jittorám
21:15.20XhoTime off times is coming
21:15.34TechnobliteratorIf it's any consolation, the Ottzello Sector is not safe
21:15.43HachimanI need to read this
21:15.45OluapPlayerYou're slowing all of my fiction down just so you know
21:15.54TechnobliteratorI guess some parts of the Arm of Wilderness are not safe either
21:16.00ImperiosAnd yes the end of New Dawn was an inside job
21:16.03Technobliteratoralso yes Xho you need to do that fog war thingy
21:16.14Hachimaninb4 Althron's new limbs consist of steel beams
21:16.30XhoYou don't have to do Fog War with me, you can use my characters when I'm not around/don't feel like doing it
21:16.55XhoReal life is going a bit too fast right now for me to impart attention on the wiki
21:18.17ImperiosHachiman: The final scene of the Shattering is going to be Quendor trying to melt Althron's arms
21:21.40OluapPlayerI need you to lead the Congregation planet section
21:22.03XhoOh yeah that
21:22.17XhoEr well I could try tomorrow
21:22.39CyrannianWhen will I be back in the Fog War with Sesoka?
21:24.00OluapPlayerAfter the next section iirc
21:24.05Cyrannianrite
21:24.34ImperiosI can't do it tomorrow unfortunately
21:24.41ImperiosWednesday or Friday maybe
21:24.47OluapPlayerNeither can I, I'll be busy with homework
21:37.36Xho0/10 there is no god
21:45.34XhoSo One Direction are splitting up
21:45.37Xho10/10 there is a god
21:47.09MonetWe all knew this day was coming really
21:47.27XhoSuppose so
21:47.33XhoThey're all miserable human beings
21:47.34MonetBTW http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:History_Reawakens bit long maybe but, well its big.
