| 16:43.19 | Wormy_away | Someone told me that after a car accident that smashed his legs up, he had pain killers so strong his legs went numb. But they began to itch terribly, and no amount of scratching could be felt. |

| 16:46.06 | Wormy_away | There is also blindness where some signals actually do reach the brain, so they can unconsciously navigate the world and make choices a sighted person could, but not be conscious why. |
| 16:46.07 | drom | Your brain basically think you got a limb there, but doesn't exist. The interesting point about it is the fact the brain activity can be in some cases be abnormal, usually when told to move the "limb" |

| 16:57.11 | Wormy_away | The SJW media are angry because the Dalai Lama made a joke that a female successor must be attractive. He was of course referring to himself because of the Buddhist belief in reincarnation. |

| 16:57.25 | drom | Do your bot even have an exclusion list? |
| 16:58.14 | Technobliterator | Nope |

| 18:35.35 | Wormy_away | Maybe a better philosophy would be one like Zen, to embrace the contradiction and unask it |
| 18:36.11 | Wormy_away | Which could involve liberating one'self from the need to escape, |

| 18:46.18 | Ghel | I'm not sure. What axes are these? |
| 18:47.34 | Ghel | There are certainly many features you can use to describe an ideology - basically any stance on any issue, including issues that aren't important to humans - but that doesn't necessarily translate to an entirely new form of government unless it results in some alien way for the governing body to claim legitimacy. |
| 18:48.33 | Hachiman | Extradimensional axes |

| 19:25.58 | Ghel | Wormy_: With archanarchism, it also comes down to the fact that unlike emergent laws (such as the laws enforced by a state), fundamental laws don't so much restrict but rather define what is possible, so "defying the laws of physics" in the sense of defying the laws of a nation is really just a case of not getting it. |
| 19:28.15 | Wormy_ | I agree |
| 19:28.49 | Hachiman | Pretty sweet, I gotta say |
| 19:30.48 | Ghel | Of course, the laws of physics do seem to be a limitation when you're writing fiction: any combination of words on a page or pixels on a screen is possible, but the more you want those words or pixels to represent reality, the fewer combinations you'll let yourself use. |
| 19:31.46 | Ghel | to resemble reality* |
| 19:34.13 | Wormy_ | Its been said that the laws of physics are not particularly restricting. Aside from speculative theories, it is assumed FTL-like travel is not possible. But its not impossible to travel through interstellar space very quickly for the traveller. |
| 19:35.09 | Wormy_ | So the experience of such a journey has reason for optimism |
| 19:39.13 | Ghel | I suppose the limitation there is being able to travel through interstellar space and completing your entire journey between a given event A at the place of your departure and an event B at your destination; you can in principle control the passage of time experienced en route however much you like. |
| 19:40.54 | Ghel | The impossibility of FTL and defying gravity, like conservation laws, *are* restrictions, that arise as direct consequences of the laws of physics. FTL and gravity are geometric, while conservation laws are the laws of physics remaining the same regardless of time, position, etc. |
| 19:41.14 | Ghel | that the laws of physics remain* |
| 19:42.30 | Hachiman | But things defy gravity all the time |
| 19:42.36 | Hachiman | Within the laws of physics of course |
| 19:43.04 | Ghel | I'm not counting wings and balloons as defying gravity here. :P |
| 19:44.08 | Ghel | Exerting a force to counteract gravitational acceleration isn't the same as ignoring gravity entirely. |
| 19:44.26 | Wormy_ | It seems nothing in the universe cannot "feel" gravity. Even negative mass objects will interactive with positive gravitational forces |
| 19:44.46 | Wormy_ | *interact |
| 19:44.50 | Hachiman | One could argue that helium balloons defy gravity without having to exert a counteracting force |
| 19:44.55 | Hachiman | Which is why they fly on their own |
| 19:45.22 | Wormy_ | Helium balloons are operating on emergent laws to achieve that, but still feel gravity |
| 19:45.31 | Ghel | They do. It's the interaction with the surrounding air that matters. |
| 19:46.07 | Ghel | The denser air pushes the helium balloon up (and equivalently, the helium balloon pushes the denser air down). |
| 19:46.15 | Hachiman | Huh |
| 19:48.18 | Wormy_ | Hachiman: maybe my visualisation would be useful, though this applies to wings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9HFX3SNWFk |
| 19:52.41 | Ghel | A sci-fi antigravity device could, perhaps, do the same thing to hover like a balloon. However, just like the force from the weight of a balloon is being pushed downwards, through the air and to the ground, so will the force from the weight of the antigravity device (and whatever it's carrying). So if there were a gigantic spaceship hovering about the ground using such a device, you wouldn't want to stand underneath it because it's weig |
| 19:54.20 | Wormy_ | Perhaps I could try and simulate a balloon. The whole reason I do it is actually because I want to see if the physics engine is powerful enough to create the same emergent patterns found in nature, without directly programming them |
| 19:54.33 | Wormy_ | Its fun, basically |
| 19:55.04 | Wormy_ | A more dramatic example being self organised criticality |
| 19:55.23 | Wormy_ | Perhaps its thye other way around, these emergent laws are universal enough to be simulated |

| 19:57.52 | Wormy_ | I will still have it land however |
| 20:00.07 | Ghel | Most SporeWikiverse antigravity presumably works by some other mechanism, perhaps a bias drive? Although if it is possible to switch a spaceship to remote crushing mode, I'm sure the DCP would take full advantage of it. |
| 20:00.34 | *** join/#sporewiki TekDroid (~TekDroid@134.117.249.115) |
| 20:01.03 | Wormy_ | Since the SporeWikiverse has the warp drive, I could assume there is a whole family of similar devices. |
| 20:01.12 | Xho | CHEESE DRIVE |
| 20:01.29 | Wormy_ | Although doesn't it require https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brans%E2%80%93Dicke_theory ?# |
| 20:02.22 | Wormy_ | Not that it matters, I decided to introduce the pitch drive mine |
| 20:03.19 | Ghel | Not just Brans-Dicke, but any theory in which there's a scalar field multiplying the gravitational curvature in the action. |
| 20:03.47 | Ghel | Add extra dimensions, for example (which we have), and you get the radion, which does the same thing. |
| 20:04.30 | Wormy_ | We do have a lot of speculativce physics in the SporeWikiverse. Though it is easy to pick and choose, the greater challenge is to make sure they can work together without contradictions that we can understand at least. |
| 20:05.02 | Ghel | The radion is essentially the volume of the extra dimensions, so a bias drive would work by increasing how large hyperspace is in different regions of a spaceship. |
| 20:05.07 | Wormy_ | That shouldn't be too hard then |
| 20:05.24 | Wormy_ | TARDIS technology! |
| 20:05.55 | Ghel | The larger the extra dimensions, the weaker gravity is in 3D space, i.e. the smaller the effective gravitational constant. |
| 20:07.59 | Wormy_ | Having extra dimensions also supports hyperspace, if we go with the idea of tachyons being FTL-like movement in other branes |
| 20:08.26 | Wormy_ | *supports the hyperdrive |
| 20:09.15 | Ghel | Yes; I don't think it's quite consistent with reality how we've done it, but it's not too terrible. |
| 20:12.30 | Roboticking45 | is there a page explaining hyperspace travel on the wiki? |

| 20:21.24 | Xho | Just as long as its within the bounds of reason I think |
| 20:21.42 | Roboticking45 | alright |
| 20:21.57 | DrodoEmpire | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:Fiction_Universe/Important_Topics/Warfare - This page has broad guidelines on ships |
| 20:22.02 | Wormy_ | There are actually limits on how big such structures can get, due to gravitational stress |
| 20:22.08 | DrodoEmpire | Keep in mind they're just suggestions |
| 20:22.15 | Wormy_ | I don't knoe what the limits are |

| 20:22.46 | Roboticking45 | well it depends wormy |
| 20:23.05 | Roboticking45 | as somem structures wouldnt be able to enter the atmosphere |
| 20:23.06 | Roboticking45 | some* |
| 20:23.08 | Wormy_ | SporeWikiverse does that materials like monopolium and degenerate matter, which realistically aren't very good armours, but are good at withstanding a lot of internal stress |
| 20:23.31 | drom | One. Probably overdone, I consider doing a fiction that centers on an extragalactic, an escapee from the Annihilation, tires to force its way through minor powers and enslave them, only to then stumble across a might power that then neglects them from the galaxy they are trying to settle themselves on. |
| 20:23.39 | Wormy_ | Well, a giant megastructure probably has limits |
| 20:24.02 | Roboticking45 | that, along with the fact that the void of space has a reduced gravity until you get into gravity wells |
| 20:25.24 | Wormy_ | Thing is, a megastructure will have its own gravity |
| 20:26.02 | Roboticking45 | that is true |
| 20:26.20 | drom | Everythinng has its own gravity |
| 20:26.21 | Wormy_ | Big enough, it will want to settle into a sphere, or break down in places |
| 20:26.27 | drom | Technically saying |
| 20:26.27 | Roboticking45 | and the larger the structure, the more intense the gravity |
| 20:26.30 | Ghel | But then, we do use negative mass in the SporeWikiverse (it's actually essential for artificial gravity that isn't rotational and doesn't leak out the sides of the ship), so perhaps that could be used to lessen the overall mass. |
| 20:27.13 | Roboticking45 | have any nations in the fiction universe turn small dwarf planets and moons into ships? |
| 20:27.27 | drom | Not what I know |
| 20:27.39 | drom | Also, that would require lot of resources |
| 20:28.10 | drom | So it is a question if it is nescessary or sufficient |

| 21:26.44 | Wormy_ | And they all evolve from dick shaped creatures |
| 21:27.20 | Roboticking45 | ...lovely |
| 21:28.07 | Wormy_ | Ghel, Xho: "So after a mutation rate of 19, all creatures become non-eclidean abomninations after one generation. Are you sure?" |
| 21:28.28 | Ghel | That sounds like the perfect mutation rate to me. |
| 21:28.30 | Wormy_ | non-euclidean, |
| 21:28.37 | Wormy_ | I have to try this noiw |
| 21:31.18 | Wormy_ | 22 - "an entire population of missingno" |
| 21:31.22 | drom_ | Wormy_: It is also worth to mention that one of the creatures in Vincesauce's playthrough relies on its' gigantic buttocks as a mean of locomotivation |
| 21:31.50 | Wormy_ | lol |
| 21:34.12 | drom_ | Despite that, it is surprisingly fast |
| 21:34.24 | Wormy_ | Well |
| 21:34.40 | Wormy_ | Non-Euclid has levitating creatures already |
| 21:36.33 | drom_ | There is tons of them as well |

| 21:41.59 | Wormy_ | SporeWiki doesn't even want to upload this horror |
| 21:43.59 | Wormy_ | Yep it broke the wiki |
| 21:44.11 | Wormy_ | sorry about that |
| 21:44.26 | Wormy_ | drom_ http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/File:Nopesaur.png |
| 21:45.11 | drom_ | Wormy_: Partical for checking out hot singles |
| 21:45.27 | Ghel | New SporeWiki fiction idea: a planet where the native life is engineered with that kind of mutation rate. |
| 21:45.42 | Ghel | I'm going to go now. Bye! |
| 21:45.53 | drom_ | I think the Nomatarids would totally do that |
| 21:46.13 | Wormy_ | Expect major changes per generation |
| 21:47.07 | Xho | Drom_: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Nomatari_Sovereignty/Ogrumkni I approve of this page btw |
| 21:48.45 | drom_ | Thanks! ^u^ |
| 21:48.55 | Wormy_ | I've now creature detail to over500 |
| 21:49.05 | Wormy_ | so god knows what will happen |
| 21:50.33 | Xho | So how did you make that typeface btw |
| 21:50.37 | drom_ | Xho: Just incase you find something that you have an issue or a concern about, or simply something you cannot resist to point out, feel free to tell me! |
| 21:50.39 | Xho | Dreamweaver? |
| 21:50.44 | Xho | rite |
| 21:50.45 | drom_ | Dreamweaver? |
| 21:50.50 | drom_ | Fuck that piece of garbage |
| 21:50.53 | Xho | hoh |
| 21:51.00 | Xho | Adobe programs are clunky as fuck |
| 21:51.14 | Wormy_ | I really have a hatred of Photoshop |
| 21:51.30 | Xho | It really isn't a sharp learning curve with Adobe programs |
| 21:51.43 | Xho | It's a sharp "MAKE THIS FUCKING THING WORK" curve |
| 21:52.35 | drom_ | Anyway, I used a program called "High-Logic Fontcreator". But though in reality, all the letters were done in GIMP, I then exported the each individual letters into the program and assigned them to specific character. |
| 21:52.50 | drom_ | From there, I exported |
| 21:52.50 | Xho | They look like vectors |
| 21:53.07 | drom_ | That's the magic of tff |
| 21:53.16 | drom_ | Any font basically |
| 21:53.21 | Xho | Ah |
| 21:53.32 | drom_ | woff, otf ... you name it |
| 21:54.01 | Xho | Truetype fonts right |
| 21:54.24 | drom_ | Though, the High-Logic Fontcreator wasn't free, neither wasn't it cheap. So I drew the dirty straw: pirate it |
| 21:54.39 | Xho | looks at the prices |
| 21:54.55 | Xho | Well that is not cheap |
| 21:55.17 | drom_ | Unfortunately |
| 21:55.32 | drom_ | There are cheaper, and preferably free, alternatives though |
| 21:55.55 | drom_ | FontForge for instance, but it cannot import images |
| 21:56.29 | Xho | Does that get as liberal as Fontcreator though |
| 21:56.41 | drom_ | And it is basically a Adobe-like product, just because of the learning curve is exactly the same as the average Abode product's curve as you descibed |
| 21:57.02 | drom_ | Hm. I don't know much, but it got few tools to get started with |
| 21:57.12 | drom_ | I believe... |
| 21:57.27 | Xho | I was thinking of doing Mahanayan and possibly Acheron with a font |
| 21:57.34 | Xho | Kicathian would be impossible |
| 21:57.47 | Roboticking45_ | I was also thinking of creating a alphabet for my fictions |
| 21:57.57 | Roboticking45_ | why would it be impossible xho? |
| 21:58.13 | drom_ | Nothing is impossible, Xho |
| 21:58.21 | drom_ | You can make them huge as you want them to be |
| 21:58.39 | drom_ | Wide, fat, slim or tall |
| 21:58.41 | drom_ | You name it |
| 21:58.50 | Xho | I mean trying to get all the individual glyphs to work on one keyboard |
| 21:58.55 | drom_ | But the issue is, which tool does that? |
| 21:59.10 | drom_ | How many glyphs? |
| 21:59.42 | Roboticking45_ | II must go farwell |
| 21:59.54 | Xho | 557 collectively |
| 22:00.18 | Xho | Though I'm not deducing the number of common glyphs |
| 22:00.40 | drom_ | Hm |
| 22:00.42 | Xho | Let's just say it's at least 344 |
| 22:01.24 | drom_ | ~16^4 |
| 22:01.24 | infobot | 20 |
| 22:01.26 | Xho | Kicathian short script is fortunate in the case that all familiar sounds appear similar as a glyph |
| 22:01.32 | drom_ | Stupid infobot |
| 22:01.36 | Xho | ~16*16*16*16 |
| 22:01.36 | infobot | 65536 |
| 22:01.49 | Xho | Big number |
| 22:01.53 | drom_ | Anyway, in theory, you'll be able to fit them all |
| 22:01.58 | Xho | Right |
| 22:02.09 | Xho | I might just stick to Milky Way Kicathian then |
| 22:02.15 | Xho | I usually use that anyway |
| 22:02.21 | Tek0516 | 2^16 |
| 22:02.25 | Tek0516 | ~2^16 |
| 22:02.26 | infobot | rumour has it, 2^16 is 65536 :-)) |
| 22:02.32 | Xho | mwaha |
| 22:02.37 | drom_ | The issue is though, will you or your stamina last enough to finish it? Can you easily assemble the glyphs? |
| 22:02.46 | Xho | Well no |
| 22:02.59 | Xho | That's why I said Kicathian would be borderline impossible to do |
| 22:03.17 | Xho | Mahanayan is much easier |
| 22:03.37 | Tek0516 | I feel like the only way to pull it off would be generated by computer |
| 22:03.38 | drom_ | I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be impossible. |
| 22:04.06 | Xho | The impossibility would be my lack of enthusiasm |
| 22:04.21 | Xho | Mahanayan has 78 individual glyphs so that's much easier to handle |
| 22:04.30 | drom_ | Anyway, the characters have unqiue "unicodes" which is a 4-digit 16-base number |
| 22:04.39 | drom_ | Hence the big number |
| 22:05.33 | Xho | Acheron has 39 glyphs which is even more simple |
| 22:07.55 | Xho | Is it me or is Armenian the most occult looking alphabet ever |
| 22:08.21 | Xho | It looks suitable for something like the Necronomicon |
| 22:09.14 | drom_ | There is more |
| 22:10.40 | drom_ | looks down on Hebrew, Mandrin, Cyrillic, Aztec and Indian |
| 22:10.58 | drom_ | Mandarin even |
| 22:11.51 | Xho | I'm not actually sure what Nahuatl looks like written down |
| 22:12.02 | Xho | I mean the native alphabet for it |
| 22:12.49 | Xho | Oh right pictographs |
| 22:12.53 | Xho | Makes sense |
| 22:17.45 | drom_ | Good luck anyway, Xho |
| 22:19.07 | Xho | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siddha%E1%B9%83_script I can imagine Mahanayan looking a bit like this |
| 22:19.16 | Xho | Funnily enough a Buddhist script |

| 22:43.41 | Tek0516 | O.o I cranked Species' mutation rate as high as possible just to see what happens |
| 22:46.00 | DrodoEmpire | uh oh |
| 22:47.23 | Tek0516 | I think the species display doesn't keep up and I think everything is dying off from genetic incompatibility except one small branch that whithers away |
