17:27.48Wormy_TekDroid:  I bought Space Engineers
17:27.59TekDroidCool
17:28.07Wormy_Not gonna play till after a submission date though :P
17:28.14TekDroidlol
17:29.21Wormy_I was sold on my friend'a adventures in it, capturing starships and making them crash into his planet for salvage; trying to build hydrogen and ion engines so he can leave the planet; attempts to build a space elevator, and so on
17:29.31AGrayCatMay I ask what it is?
17:29.56Wormy_Sure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Engineers
17:30.09Wormy_Its 50% the price on Steam for the next couple of days
17:30.15AGrayCat"is a voxel-based sandbox game set in an asteroid field in space. "
17:30.16AGrayCathm
17:30.54TekDroidWormy_: It's an interesting game, and planets was an exciting new feature
17:31.14Wormy_I bet
17:31.26TekDroidI haven't played planets much, but even though they're scaled down from RL they really feel big.
17:31.50TekDroidThough the game's maximum speed limit contributes. >.>
17:31.58AGrayCatBigger than Spore planets?
17:32.06AGrayCatright now a city is amusingly small
17:32.23AGrayCator large depending on where you view it from
17:32.31Wormy_Yes, I think they are bigger.  And I'm told Earth-like planets and have several biomes
17:32.42AGrayCathmm
17:33.08TekDroidPlanets are 120km and moons are 19km

18:07.35AGrayCatmhm
18:07.41AGrayCatvery well
18:07.46Wormy_If you find a current collab fiction you like - and you have some fiction pages of your own - you are ready to join.
18:10.37AGrayCatwell then
18:11.00AGrayCatI'm writing up a tiny empire.
18:11.16Wormy_Imperios: http://imgur.com/gallery/2k7aAAm
18:16.24AGrayCatWhat would you think of me writing up a dystopia Wormy_?
18:21.37Wormy_I'd have to read it to comment on that, but any subgenre works in the fiction universe
18:21.45AGrayCathmm
18:21.51AGrayCatI'm making it more of a secret dystopia.
18:22.00AGrayCatThe idea is that it is a happy fun democracy on the surface
18:22.08AGrayCatand then a lot of corruption and crime underneath
18:23.49Wormy_Ah, a http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrapsaccharineWorld

19:11.08HachimanImperios: http://i.imgur.com/5CPuX18.png?1 I made a Fantasyverse version of Tyraz - Khorijin Sorocan Khulan
19:11.39AGrayCatwoah
19:11.43AGrayCatWhere did you make that?
19:11.46HachimanHope he looks Mongolian enough
19:11.47HachimanSpore
19:11.55HachimanAdmittedly using the Dark Injection parts
19:11.58AGrayCatah
19:12.11AGrayCatone more reason to be annoyed with my own skills in spore
19:12.19AGrayCatNice work!
19:12.25HachimanThanks, glad you like
19:22.19ImperiosNeeds lamellar armour and huge cap

19:22.58*** join/#sporewiki TekDroid (~TekDroid@134.117.249.67)
19:23.11HachimanIt's difficult to make lamellar armour in Spore hur
19:23.53HachimanAlso good luck putting a cap on a Tuungar / Zazane
19:24.10HachimanThis is why I don't have Zazane wear helmets because their heads are weird hur
19:24.47HachimanImperios: http://spacer176.deviantart.com/journal/Stepping-back-from-Sporewiki-573290496 This might concern you
19:25.02ImperiosHuh
19:25.23ImperiosAnd I have just come up with a few ideas
19:25.40ImperiosAdmittedly me having stalled Andromeda for years might have put him on the edge
19:26.06AGrayCateh?
19:26.17AGrayCatSomeone is leaving the fiction universe?
19:26.25ImperiosOur old friend
19:26.28ImperiosWell, my old friend
19:26.35ImperiosHachi and Mon used to be friends but then
19:26.45HachimanWe still talk
19:26.50ImperiosWell, let's just say Mon was always the haughty type
19:27.08HachimanSo am I though hur
19:27.13HachimanAdmittedly in a different way
19:28.43ImperiosMon is the haughty emo artist guy, Hachi is the angry angsty writer guy, I am the whiny childish narcissist guy
19:29.37ImperiosWe were the trio of emos who wrote the most emo fiction in the universe
19:29.47Hachimankek
19:29.54ImperiosThe last time we worked together, the ending was about the galaxy literally exploding
19:30.13ImperiosEmo love stories, overwrought monologue and the like
19:31.47HachimanThey were fun
19:31.51HachimanNote; were
19:32.04AGrayCatHmm
19:32.11AGrayCata depressing ending
19:32.23AGrayCatboth to the last story and the story altogether
19:33.17ImperiosI wish I'd continue them but I lack both the time and the drive
19:33.24ImperiosAnd I sure as hell won't continue them without Mon
19:34.58AGrayCathm
19:35.57AGrayCatI'm nearly done with my current fiction.
19:36.18HachimanFiction is never done
19:36.20HachimanYou can always expand
19:36.45AGrayCateh
19:36.49AGrayCatthe original you could say
19:39.36HachimanImperios: http://i.imgur.com/ZnGZNxE.png?1 How is this for more Mongolian hur
19:40.04AGrayCatQuestion: Do you take requests?
19:40.08ImperiosGlorious hat
19:40.08ImperiosIs good
19:40.22HachimanWhen I have the time
19:40.30HachimanWhat did you have in mind?
19:40.38ImperiosLooking at his clothes it looks like the more sexy version of Mongol clothing hur
19:40.56HachimanThey're Zazane expies and Zazane like showing off their body
19:41.01HachimanWhat do you expect hur
19:41.57AGrayCatcat-shaped brown-styled with black eyes
19:42.03AGrayCatbrown coloured
19:42.15HachimanSo a cat
19:42.22AGrayCateh
19:42.23AGrayCatnot really
19:42.28AGrayCatjust cat-shaped
19:42.37HachimanI only really do humanoids
19:42.44AGrayCatEh
19:42.46HachimanOr at least, stuff with humanoid stature
19:42.50AGrayCatHumanoid cat-shaped?
19:43.15AGrayCatlizard-style eyes
19:43.33AGrayCatpointed ears
19:45.04HachimanSo an anthro cat thing
19:45.50AGrayCatCalling it a cat... would be a stretch.
19:46.00AGrayCatMore of a cat with snake and bird characteristics.
19:46.05HachimanRight
19:46.15HachimanImperios: I am wondering if I should use "Khan" as a term used among the Tuungar or whether that would be too obvious
19:46.28ImperiosWell there is always Khagan
19:46.31ImperiosOr Kagan
19:46.41HachimanKhagan is good
19:46.47HachimanWhat would be used for Great Khan hur
19:47.05ImperiosKhagan does kind of means "Great Khan"
19:47.36HachimanRight
19:47.46AGrayCathm
19:47.46HachimanWhat would I use for stuff like regional kings/governors and such
19:47.59AGrayCatYou are making a Mongolian thing?
19:48.04AGrayCatDo you have a link?
19:48.12HachimanNot yet
19:48.17AGrayCathm
19:48.23AGrayCatWhich galaxy?
19:48.28HachimanNone; for the Fantasyverse
19:48.45AGrayCatah.
19:49.03AGrayCata space mongolian empire would have been interesting to say the least
19:49.11HachimanWe have a few horde empires like that
19:49.23HachimanCannot bring up specific examples right now
19:49.38HachimanAlso I read on your page that you have Mongolian ancestry
19:49.41AGrayCatindeed
19:49.56AGrayCatand not mongol empire ancestry
19:50.00HachimanAh
19:51.57AGrayCatIs there an official status on FTL travel in the Fiction Universe?
19:52.33HachimanIt's available to a lot of empires, although wormholes are required for intergalactic travel
19:52.44HachimanAnd are often used for intergalactic travel on occasion as well
19:53.23AGrayCathmm
19:55.17AGrayCatWhat officially happened to Earth in the Fiction universe?
19:55.28AGrayCatI can't find much on after the 21st Century..
19:55.36AGrayCatapart from the asteroid and space travel
19:55.51*** join/#sporewiki drom (~drom@unaffiliated/drom)
19:56.02HachimanHumanity has divided into various intergalactic/interstellar factions and Earth has been largely left alone after two episodes of radical terraforming
19:56.07ImperiosAGrayCat: I have them
19:56.17ImperiosA space Mongol empire that is
19:56.25ImperiosIt's also kind of Japanese-ish though
19:56.30AGrayCatLink please?
19:56.31HachimanI thought the Artharons were space Japan
19:56.38ImperiosThey are a mix
19:56.40AGrayCathmm
19:56.44AGrayCatSo Earth is abandoned?
19:56.56HachimanOne accomplished by Neanderthals who froze the Earth as a revenge plot against humanity (long story), and one where humanity reverted it back and cured all of the detrimental effects they had done to it in the past as well
19:56.57GhelThe future of Earth is something that's being very slowly worked on (a rewrite of one of Wormy's old incomplete stories, Rights of Earth). In short, some distaster happened and it was abandoned in the 26th century.
19:57.20GhelThat Neanderthal revenge plot is part of Rights of Earth.
19:57.34AGrayCatuh
19:57.39AGrayCatwell
19:57.44AGrayCatthat sounds
19:57.48AGrayCatinteresting to say the least
19:58.01ImperiosThey're honourbound, feudal and crazy with weapons but they are also kind of primitive, led by charismatic khan-esque rulers and there are TONS of them
19:58.49HachimanWould "Noyons" be a correct term to use for regional lords and governors and such in UoK's territory or would Khan be more appropriate
19:59.42HachimanActually I dunno why I am shying away from the term Khan, I guess I just didn't want it to be obvious but then I am also using blatantly obvious other terms as well hur
20:00.10ImperiosI was about to suggest that
20:00.33ImperiosYou could also use "Tumen-bashi", but this was a more military term
20:00.42ImperiosOr "Temnik" which is the Russian adaptation of the term
20:01.14HachimanTumen-bashi?
20:01.25ImperiosLiterally "Lord of the tumen"
20:01.30HachimanMy knowledge on the Mongol Empire is shamefru
20:01.38ImperiosTumen being Mongolian (or Turkic, not sure) for 10,000
20:01.47ImperiosSo a guy who rules over 10,000 soldiers
20:02.00HachimanOh wow
20:02.05HachimanThat's pretty cool
20:02.34AGrayCathm
20:02.53AGrayCatWhat happens to Antarctica?
20:02.54ImperiosThere' a problem though, it is kinda similar to "Turkmenbashi"
20:02.55dromXho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkPXLPIbIQY
20:03.02HachimanTurkmenbashi?
20:03.18dromI feel like shit, some useless shit.
20:03.41ImperiosYou know the dictator guy
20:03.45ImperiosIn Turkmenistan
20:03.53HachimanOoh
20:04.42AGrayCathm
20:05.18AGrayCatIs it okay to include 'foreign' plot devices in your fiction that you never mention ever again apart from in your history?
20:05.36HachimanSuch as?
20:05.54*** join/#sporewiki GD12 (427591e7@gateway/web/freenode/ip.66.117.145.231)
20:06.12AGrayCatI made a small thing and I want to use it briefly in my history
20:06.27AGrayCati designed it 100%
20:06.30GD12Hey
20:06.34HachimanWhat is it?
20:06.36HachimanHai GD
20:06.38GD12Are you a new user AGrayCat?
20:06.49AGrayCat:(
20:06.52AGrayCatYes, I am.
20:06.59AGrayCatA project I once designed.
20:07.21HachimanEh if you mean pertaining to images, we prefer stuff made in Spore
20:07.26AGrayCatnot an image at all
20:07.36AGrayCatjust a name
20:07.38AGrayCatand just a name
20:07.43HachimanWhat's the name?
20:07.48GhelIs there any reason why you think it wouldn't be allowed?
20:08.05AGrayCatI'm not going to write an article on it?
20:08.14HachimanJust tell us hur
20:08.16GhelYou don't have to write an article on every detail you mention.
20:08.18AGrayCathur?
20:08.20AGrayCathm
20:08.46GhelBasically, as long as it doesn't go against http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:Fiction_Guidelines#Guidelines_and_Rules you're fine.
20:08.52GD12hur means lol in sporewiki speak
20:09.10GD12i mean basically you can write anything that isn't explicit porn on here
20:09.13HachimanImperios: Khorijin needs a demented necro-mage brother, like an evil version of Teclis, to fill in for Moxix
20:09.18GD12or anything that isn't extremeley offensive to irl things
20:09.37GhelOh yes, also don't break Wikia's terms of use.
20:09.45ImperiosYa
20:09.51GhelDon't break the law; stuff like that.
20:09.52AGrayCatexplicit? that err... worries me that you allow normal stuff of that sort then.
20:10.02HachimanEvil insane Mongolian necromancer
20:10.16AGrayCatnot real worry
20:10.20AGrayCatbut more of a eh.
20:10.31GD12lol
20:10.35GD12Its quite rare though
20:10.38HachimanIn basic; yes you are allowed, so long as it is not offensive
20:10.47GD12yea as long as its offensive go for it
20:10.49HachimanAnd if it is, we will let you know
20:10.49GD12use common sense
20:10.52GD12and if in dobut
20:10.54GD12we'll let you know
20:10.56GD12^^
20:13.43AGrayCatok
20:14.24GD12a general rule of thumb is that unless you're going out of your way to offend people
20:14.26GD12the content is probably fine
20:18.15AGrayCatWhat do you think about me making my empire-thing purposefully fail in the history by the way?
20:18.26AGrayCatWould it be plausible for it to recover within a few centuries?
20:18.51HachimanYeah probably
20:18.58GD12Yes of course empires have dark ages and bad points
20:19.13HachimanIt wouldn't be realistic if they didn't have faults
20:19.30GD12Furthermore most empires are built upon a lot of violent change and chaos
20:19.32AGrayCatyes
20:19.37GD12Its not like they'll have remained static from day 1
20:19.53AGrayCatAnd it is a plot device to the eventual formation of the National Republic.
20:22.45Hachiman"Hyena Gets A Nasty Surprise When He Tries To Eat An Elephant Through The Anus"
20:22.47HachimanI bet he did
20:23.14GD12eck and i was about to gt lunch
20:24.42AGrayCatbut?
20:25.12ImperiosHe could be a shaman guy communing with the spirits of the dead
20:25.19HachimanAye
20:25.32HachimanI was under the impression the Tuungar would have shamans
20:26.39HachimanI wonder if Fantasy!Moxix would be his own entity like in the Fictionverse or if he would be with the Ulus of Khulan
20:27.02AGrayCatso
20:27.19AGrayCatSince my National Republic is in the Borealis Galaxy
20:27.22AGrayCatwhen I am done with it
20:27.27AGrayCatwell not done
20:27.31AGrayCatbut finished the original draft
20:27.33HachimanDid you ask permission for it?
20:27.36AGrayCatIndeed.
20:27.41AGrayCatI have full permission.
20:27.45ImperiosActually now that I think about it Mongols burn their dead so he would have a hard time raising undead
20:27.46HachimanSweet
20:28.01AGrayCatWhat local collaborative fictions are there right now?
20:28.19HachimanNot very many if I recall
20:28.25GD12Great Xonexian Schism
20:28.28HachimanImperios: You gotta point there
20:28.34HachimanBorealis isn't involved in the Schism
20:28.37AGrayCatdarn
20:28.44GD12you probably have better luck making collabs with other new fictions
20:28.48GD12*you'll
20:29.07GD12Remember that theres more to the fictionverse than ultra-massive collabs
20:29.16AGrayCatnot ultra-massive ones
20:29.18AGrayCatlocal ones
20:29.26HachimanNot very many
20:29.30AGrayCateh
20:29.30Wormy_Imperios, Hachiman:  I can understand where Monet is coming from. If you want a fiction universe that follows logical outcomes dynamically, then our's is not the one for that.  What it reflects is our fantasies
20:29.57Wormy_So in some cases, there will be missed opportunity etc.
20:30.14HachimanMonet's a piss baby who thinks that SW is ruined because Borealis and Cyrannian exist and do not want to conform to his views as to how a fiction should be written
20:30.38HachimanHis mindset is that since nobody is having fun the way he wants them to, SW is condemned
20:31.45Wormy_If its not for him, then I can see why he is leaving.
20:32.05HachimanHe'll be back
20:32.44Wormy_I don't quite agree SporeWikiverse is all good vs. evil, that's his bias.  People have strived to add more themes since the beginning
20:33.15Wormy_I took a long period when I tried to add speculative SF elements
20:33.49AGrayCatwho is Monet?
20:34.01GD12a user
20:34.02GD12protip
20:34.06GD12don't get involved in SW politics
20:34.15AGrayCatand i'm in borealis now so why does he not like borealis?
20:34.33HachimanBecause he doesn't like Oluap
20:34.50HachimanToo many personal reasons to explain further
20:35.03AGrayCathm
20:35.14AGrayCatPersonal reasons? Hating fiction for personal reasons?

20:35.32DrodoEmpireHi everyone
20:35.35GD12hey!
20:35.38DrodoEmpireOh dear
20:35.41DrodoEmpirewhat's going on?
20:35.44HachimanHi
20:35.49AGrayCatWho is DrodoEmpire?
20:35.51DrodoEmpireHi!
20:35.53DrodoEmpireMe! :D
20:35.59HachimanThat is DrodoEmpire
20:36.01GD12an Empire of Drodo of course
20:36.04DrodoEmpire^
20:36.19AGrayCatDrodo?
20:36.23DrodoEmpireIn all seriousness, I'm a moderator here.
20:36.25DrodoEmpireMy fiction
20:36.30AGrayCatah
20:36.35DrodoEmpireJust a name I started using a few years ago.
20:36.36AGrayCatFiction or Fantasy Universe?
20:36.43DrodoEmpireScience fiction universe
20:36.46DrodoEmpireSo the first
20:37.02DrodoEmpireTo be fair they're a smidge old-timey at that
20:37.03AGrayCatoo
20:37.31AGrayCat200 years old
20:37.37AGrayCatHow old are the Empires on average?
20:37.45DrodoEmpireOh it depends *gretaly*
20:37.48HachimanSeveral hundred to several thousand years old
20:37.48DrodoEmpire*greatly
20:37.54AGrayCatI plan for my little creation to be in its modern form around 800 years old.
20:37.57AGrayCatso... young then?
20:38.00DrodoEmpireThat's fair yeah
20:38.03GD12thats compatively young
20:38.07GD12and yeah fair
20:38.14HachimanGD12 Xho Imperios: What do you call a lesbian dinosaur? Lickalotapus
20:38.25ImperiosDon't make it imagine this
20:38.25GD12ahah
20:38.25DrodoEmpireKeep in mind most human nations don't last longer than a thousand
20:38.48AGrayCathuman nations only last for a few hundred years or so because of one reason
20:38.55AGrayCatyou need a darn good democratic system
20:38.59AGrayCator a strongman
20:39.01DrodoEmpireErr
20:39.01dromXho Hachiman: (NSFW) http://i.imgur.com/x7eeHTM.webm
20:39.01GD12even when human nations last longer than that
20:39.02DrodoEmpireNo
20:39.10GD12there re very drastic regime changes
20:39.16AGrayCata strongman... can keep an empire together in my opinion.
20:39.21DrodoEmpireThere's many reasons as to why states rise and fall but that's beside the point
20:39.22DrodoEmpireI know
20:39.24GD12drom : i saw that
20:39.27Hachimanolol
20:39.39DrodoEmpireSo depending on the attitudes and mentality of your species(s?) it political entities may last longer or shorter then human ones
20:39.46AGrayCathm
20:39.54DrodoEmpireAlso of course whether its institutions are sound
20:39.56DrodoEmpireMore importantly
20:40.26AGrayCatI plan for a devastating civil war in my creation a few hundred years before the present day.
20:40.34GD12aye makes sense
20:40.43DrodoEmpireOkay cool
20:41.54ImperiosHachiman: BTW are you familiar with the sky burial tradition?
20:42.07HachimanI only ever heard of it
20:42.12HachimanI do not know what it is
20:42.50ImperiosIt's more of a Tibetan thing but Mongolians also do this
20:42.59ImperiosIt's less recent - AFAIK it's Buddhist
20:43.09Hachimanwot is is
20:43.14ImperiosBasically you take the corpse to high mountain or a tower
20:43.15Hachimanis it even
20:43.24ImperiosThen you leave the body to be eaten by predators
20:43.28ImperiosLike vultures and stuff
20:43.32ImperiosSo it will remain in the sky forever
20:43.46AGrayCatalso
20:43.48DrodoEmpireYeah I've heard of that
20:43.51DrodoEmpireInteresting tradition
20:43.53Wormy_Few from other countries have ever been allowed to watch a sky burial.
20:44.16DrodoEmpireYes GreyCat?
20:44.17AGrayCatare 12 planets in my 'empire' a lot of planets? or too few? or a perfect amount?
20:44.18HachimanOh cool
20:44.24HachimanToo few
20:44.25DrodoEmpireOh dear that's very few
20:44.25DrodoEmpireXD
20:44.29HachimanHave at least several hundred
20:44.33Wormy_So Sky burials are steeped in mystery
20:44.42DrodoEmpireThe Drodo Empire has ten-thousand inhabited systems in its mainland alone
20:45.03DrodoEmpireCounting its colonies in other galaxies its closer to twenty-one thousand
20:45.06AGrayCatWhy several hundred, out of interest?
20:45.08AGrayCatoof
20:45.13AGrayCatthis is embarrassing
20:45.18DrodoEmpireWhat's wrong?
20:45.19DrodoEmpireXD
20:45.20ImperiosActually wait Mongols don't burn their dead my mistake
20:45.28ImperiosThey buried them too so you can have normal undead
20:45.33Hachimanyey
20:45.44ImperiosBut seriously maybe he can control these carrion birds
20:45.45AGrayCatThe fact I have 12 planets and you have 21,000 inhabited SYSTEMS
20:45.55DrodoEmpirehur
20:45.56HachimanFantasy!Moxix controlling carrion birds would be epic
20:46.00dromGD12: http://imgur.com/gallery/BOPYQ
20:46.02AGrayCati look like luxembourg or the vatican
20:46.08DrodoEmpireSorta yeah
20:46.17GD12covers AGrayCat 's eyes so he doesn't see the Gigaquadrantic superpowers and hyperpowers
20:46.36DrodoEmpireYeah the Drodo Empire is more of a regional power
20:46.39HachimanConsidering that the Tuungar are also affiliated with venomancy, Fantasy!Moxix could also be something of a plague lord
20:46.45AGrayCatthat is even worse
20:46.50DrodoEmpireIt can punch above its weight but its not much compared to the greatest of the great powers
20:46.54GD12drom : lol
20:46.56DrodoEmpireLike the DCP, France or the Empire
20:46.57AGrayCati shall accept my fate as the tiniest empire known in the fiction universe :(
20:47.06ImperiosHe controls carrion birds
20:47.08DrodoEmpireNo no XD
20:47.16DrodoEmpireImperios: I know Mongols used to have this tradition that you couldn't execute nobles in a way that shedded blood
20:47.28AGrayCatyep i've read about that
20:47.31GD12The Drodo Empire is kinda like the lovechild of Switzerland and Canada
20:47.35DrodoEmpireSo a popular thing with rival nobles was to roll them up in a carpet and kick them to death
20:47.36GD12or maybe i'm just high
20:47.40DrodoEmpireGD: hur
20:47.43DrodoEmpireEhh
20:47.47Hachimanolol
20:47.59AGrayCatWhat would my little republic be the child of?
20:48.09AGrayCatSealand and the Vatican?
20:48.19DrodoEmpireSorta GD. XD In terms of ethnic diversity its like Austria-Hungary, or the Ottoman Empire
20:48.21HachimanI was gonna say Japan but that makes more sense
20:48.29*** join/#sporewiki Tek0516 (~TekDroid@24.114.80.23)
20:48.32HachimanFucking Sealand tho
20:48.32GD12hehe
20:48.38DrodoEmpireWaay too many cultures trying to get along in one place
20:49.12GD12being several hundred systems  in size means its not a good idea to start crusades against the Gig's largest powers
20:49.17GD12but it doesn't preclude anything else
20:49.20AGrayCatso how many planets do you think would be a good amount for my empire?
20:49.27DrodoEmpireUsually we count systems
20:49.30GhelHow old are they?
20:49.40AGrayCat800 years with a massive civil war in the middle.
20:49.48DrodoEmpireBut a few hundred to a few thousand is good for a starting nation
20:49.55GD12i mean you could be several thousand
20:49.59GD12with a few hundred core systems
20:50.04GD12with the rest being outposts/frontier worlds and othe shit
20:50.27ImperiosDrodoEmpire: CARPETS
20:50.30ImperiosSIT ON THEM
20:50.34AGrayCathmm
20:50.35DrodoEmpireolol
20:50.48AGrayCatI'll have 542 colonies.
20:50.53DrodoEmpireAlright.
20:50.59GD12alright
20:51.02HachimanI'd go more with 2,500 myself
20:51.10GD12yeah maybe 500 core
20:51.12GD122000 frontier
20:51.18AGrayCatthat brings me to... 543 planets total.
20:51.38GD12also it depends what you wanty to get your fiction into
20:51.47GD12and what other aspects make it special/unique
20:51.55Wormy_Agreed
20:52.16Wormy_I mean, it also depends how individualist or collab oriented you want your fic to be
20:52.20Wormy_Mines in the middle
20:52.45GD12Most users have both collab fictions and individual fictions
20:52.53GD12Since people are ya'know not always one dimensional :)
20:53.15AGrayCatMine will also be in the middle.
20:53.20AGrayCatalthough i do like working with others
20:53.57Wormy_What I mean, with the DCP I'm quite happy not to follow stringent political / economics rules like some fiction does, though I will conform to them if put my fiction in that setting
20:54.14AGrayCatDCP?
20:54.17Wormy_But I also go through periods of solo-fic
20:54.22GD12Delpha Coalition of Planets
20:54.24DrodoEmpireDelpha Coalit-
20:54.26DrodoEmpireyeah
20:54.27ImperiosHachiman: Maybe Tuungar actually practice sky burial so as to prevent their corpses from being raised from the dead
20:54.29GD12one of the Gigaquqdrant's big boys
20:54.31AGrayCatWhich galaxy?
20:54.35DrodoEmpireMilky Way
20:54.38AGrayCathm
20:54.39Wormy_allofdem
20:54.45DrodoEmpire(Drodo are also in the Milky Way btw)
20:54.48AGrayCatMy Glistennaens started in the Milky Way.
20:54.49DrodoEmpireWell the homeland
20:54.52ImperiosBut Moxix has somehow found their way to circumvent that
20:54.55Wormy_Milky Way is prime galaxy
20:55.05AGrayCatWhen did your thingie invent space travel?
20:55.18GD12ooh thats a question people don't get everyday
20:55.23DrodoEmpireWhose?
20:55.24AGrayCatirony?
20:55.25Wormy_Mine?
20:55.29HachimanSo Moxix would have his own little realm of the dead hidden in the mountains
20:55.29GD12i think the dcp is seven hundred years old
20:55.30GD12but some member races
20:55.33GD12are 12,000 years old
20:55.38AGrayCatwormy_'s thing
20:55.39Wormy_Correct
20:55.43GD12plus theyve been there since the start of the fiction universe (2009)
20:55.47AGrayCatGD12
20:55.54AGrayCatwas that irony?
20:56.00GD12no
20:56.06GD12its the first time ive seen that question asked
20:56.08AGrayCatoo
20:56.21Wormy_The Grimbolsaurians are my race in particular http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Delpha_Coalition_of_Planets/History/Development#Technological_advances
20:56.23AGrayCatBut which Terran year did it invent space travel in?
20:56.37DrodoEmpireWell the current one is 2804-2814...
20:56.37Wormy_Hmmm
20:56.39DrodoEmpireHm
20:56.42AGrayCathmm
20:56.53AGrayCatWhat is the current year in the Fiction Universe?
20:56.54Wormy_I'm not quite sure how DCP years correspond to human ones
20:56.56GD12ballpark it at the early 2100s
20:57.04GD12and its 2803 i think rn
20:57.04AGrayCatballpark what?
20:57.09DrodoEmpireGreyCat, 2804
20:57.12DrodoEmpireFor most
20:57.21ImperiosHachiman: Corrupting the birds so that they would bring the dead to his realm
20:57.24GD12ballpark the time of the dcp's first travel
20:57.31AGrayCat789 years old yay
20:57.37GhelIf Mirenton has similar climates and a similar sun to Earth, its years aren't going to be hugely different from Earth years.
20:58.03GhelSo you can certainly approximate it as being 700-800 Earth years old.
20:58.05AGrayCatYes, but we are using Terran years in this little question.
20:58.16AGrayCatDrodo: When did you guys invent space travel?
20:58.24DrodoEmpireHmm
20:58.26DrodoEmpireGood question
20:58.42AGrayCatI'm wondering if the 1700s would be a good time for it?
20:58.46DrodoEmpireSpace travel, as in being able to shoot a rocket out of the atmosphere would like be about 325 years ago
20:58.57GD12also there is a difference
20:58.58DrodoEmpireWhile interstellar travel would be around 200 years ago
20:59.03GD12between apollo missions level space travel
20:59.05GD12and interstellar travel
20:59.07DrodoEmpire^
20:59.10DrodoEmpireHUGE difference
20:59.25GD12its not that important of a detail tbh since its something all civilizations go through
20:59.31HachimanI wonder if Moxix would also do stuff like raid Tuungar villages and kidnap townsfolk and fallen warriors to incorporate into his realm
20:59.36DrodoEmpireSo there was a 125-year period where the Drodo were A. Restricted to their home system and B. Divided among dozens of nations
20:59.37GD12you're better off giving more attention to things that happened in your civ that don't happen in all othes
20:59.46AGrayCathmm
20:59.54ImperiosSince I was planning to have an undead city there
21:00.14AGrayCatBut would 1792 be an acceptable year?
21:00.19ImperiosCould it be that the Tuungar would periodically try to raid it for its riches and get some of their dead raised in the process?
21:00.22DrodoEmpireFor your space travel?
21:00.24DrodoEmpirePerhaps
21:00.26AGrayCatYes.
21:00.27HachimanHmm perhaps
21:00.30AGrayCatVery minor space travel.
21:00.34Wormy_Ghel:  I'm thinking that DCP time is non-planetary.  Not quite sure how it would work.  Obviously near-synchronised using hyperspace or other FTL communications.  Possibly based on some cycle in nature
21:00.34DrodoEmpireAhh
21:00.38DrodoEmpireSo apollo stuff?\
21:00.44DrodoEmpireI'd... Think so?
21:00.54GD12Again its not a very important detail
21:00.55HachimanSo would Moxix be a part of this undead realm then or would he have his own?
21:00.57DrodoEmpireWe aren't too prickish about this
21:01.24Wormy_Pulsars, or some hyperspatial rythem might fit the bill
21:01.26GD12Generally anything is acceptable aside from extreme overpowerdness, making references to other fiction without permission and general offensiveness
21:02.13DrodoEmpireI'm even a little iffy about mentioning fiction without permission. I personally see little issue in *mentioning* one without permission
21:02.16GhelWormy_: Maybe, but since the cycle of seasons is bound to be important for any culture that develops agriculture, a cycle or some multiple that roughly corresponds to a typical planetary year seems reasonable.
21:02.25GhelI'm sure the DCP is more than 800 pulsar rotations old. :P
21:02.34Wormy_LOL
21:02.38DrodoEmpireAssuming the characters in question would know of such fiction in-character
21:02.47GD12i meant mention as in significant mentions
21:02.56GD12like with regards to things like alliances, wars, etc
21:02.56DrodoEmpireWell define significant mention GD
21:03.02DrodoEmpireThat'
21:03.04DrodoEmpireThat
21:03.07DrodoEmpirewhoops\
21:03.18DrodoEmpireThat's doing things on behalf of other fictions, far above a mere mention. XD
21:03.52GD12ahh i guess
21:03.55GD12yeah good point
21:04.51GD12AGrayCat : aside from worrying about first date of space flight
21:04.57GD12you might want to think about your general technology level
21:05.00HachimanRight I gotta get ready to go out
21:05.06GD12and your fiction's overall goals and ambitions
21:05.08ImperiosHachiman: Probably his own
21:05.15GD12the general methods in which they interact with others
21:05.17GD12foreign policy
21:05.21HachimanImperios: If you got any other ideas regarding the Tuungar, Moxix, and your undead realm, message me on Steam
21:05.25GhelThe general point is not to do stuff involving other people's fictions if they don't want you to. Some people might want you to run any mention by them just to be sure it's not a problem. Conversely, if somebody says they don't mind you mentioning their fiction at all, you could take that as permanent permission.
21:06.05DrodoEmpireJust for the record anyone I won't throw a fit if you mention my fiction without permission
21:06.11DrodoEmpireDo it as much as you want
21:06.14DrodoEmpire*everyone
21:06.43drom"cuntspawn"
21:07.10Wormy_I'm pretty chillaxed about my fiction being mentioned, but I will comment if I think something is inaccurate
21:07.16DrodoEmpire^
21:07.18DrodoEmpireNaturally
21:08.17GD12the DCP stands for Dicks Cunts and Poopypants
21:08.20GD12inaccurate m8?
21:08.39AGrayCateh
21:08.55AGrayCatcommunity here is weird eh
21:09.12GD12aye you'll see lots of that on the IRC
21:09.21DrodoEmpireYeah IRC's pretty relaxed place
21:09.26dromthat's right you fucking gammon-faced cumdump!
21:09.31AGrayCatuh
21:09.40DrodoEmpireslaps drom around a bit with a large fishbot
21:09.44GD12drom's just screwing around lol
21:09.48GD12don't take anything too seriously here
21:10.10GhelApart from seriousness.
21:10.12DrodoEmpirehttp://www.multi.fi/~goranfri/GuardHuss.gif - This... Will make for a *really* good reference for a sketch
21:10.23DrodoEmpireOf a Drodo cavalryman that is
21:10.25dromWere you living in Newfoundland, Drodo?
21:10.28Wormy_Except when he we super cereal about philosophy, science, politics or computer game publishers
21:10.37DrodoEmpiredrom: No
21:10.41DrodoEmpireI'm Nova Scotian
21:10.49DrodoEmpireJust south of Newfoundland
21:11.05dromAlright
21:11.30GD12also AGrayCat
21:11.32DrodoEmpireMy siblings are in Newfoundland and I have familt from there but I'm Nova Scotian through and through
21:11.38GD12a pretty big part of fiction is your fiction's military
21:11.43GD12so you might want to flesh that out a lot
21:11.56AGrayCatoo
21:11.59AGrayCatI'm from England.
21:12.01DrodoEmpirehttp://www.rafaelpardoalmudi.com/images/figures/prussian_NCR/knotel.jpg - Also this
21:12.13DrodoEmpireThat uniform is fabulous. It'll be good practice
21:13.17AGrayCatWhy is the community so uhh... eh... uhh.
21:13.44GD12we're a quirky bunch
21:14.27dromthat's right ya shagsack!
21:14.28AGrayCatyeah you even said earlier fiction revolving around reproductive pleasures was allowed. and a few of ya'll seem to be quite liberal in swearing.
21:14.35AGrayCatlike that guy
21:15.24GD12reproductive pleasures are never the centers of fictions
21:15.29GD12but they happen if there is a romantic subplot
21:15.36GD12or sometimes just as inuniverse jokes or memes
21:15.44GD12and yes we all swear a lot
21:15.47GD12its the interwebz lol
21:16.06dromspot on...
21:16.17AGrayCathm
21:16.38AGrayCatwould someone be willing to make a pretty simple flag?
21:16.48AGrayCata white flag with a light green circle in the middle
21:17.08dromspeaking off: ya ███████ are ███████ ███████████ ████ ████████ like a ██████████ ██ ██████ ████████ ███████████ up █████████ you ███████████.
21:17.16DrodoEmpireGreyCat: I probably can
21:17.22AGrayCattis graycat
21:17.23DrodoEmpireCharles_Murray is also rgeat at making flags
21:17.31GD12^
21:17.36AGrayCatbeing great won't really help
21:17.46AGrayCatit is literally a white flag with a light green circle in the middle
21:17.52DrodoEmpireI'm Canadian. I say grey over gray
21:17.54DrodoEmpireSorry
21:18.03Wormy_I'm English/Brit too
21:18.11AGrayCati'm english and say gray over grey
21:18.31Wormy_yeah, thought you were American
21:18.40AGrayCathuh
21:18.56dromDrodoEmpire: Good to be apologetic, eh?
21:18.57DrodoEmpireYeah I think grey/gray is less regional then
21:19.04DrodoEmpiredrom: yeah I suppose
21:19.06DrodoEmpireSorry about that.
21:19.07AGrayCateh?
21:19.17GD12AGrayCat : tell us more about your fiction
21:19.20Wormy_everyone I know writes it as grey
21:19.25AGrayCatoh well
21:19.32AGrayCatI'll just get a quote
21:19.32dromExcept us!
21:19.56AGrayCatoriginal draft:
21:19.58AGrayCatThe '''Glistennaen National Republic''' is the empire of the {{creature|Glistenna}}, a multi-billion year old species from the Borealis Galaxy. Created in S.Y 2015 after a devastating conflict that forced the previous Glistennaen Empire to dissolve, it has long since recovered and is now trying to expand from a small group of planets into a empire that can successfully exert influence across a number of systems.
21:20.35AGrayCatnote draft
21:20.49DrodoEmpireGood intro/
21:20.52DrodoEmpire*.
21:21.10AGrayCati could publish it and work on more edits later, eh?
21:21.12dromTek0516 Xho Wormy_: http://i.imgur.com/2YenWL7.webm
21:21.22GD12good intro aye
21:21.40Tek0516O.o
21:21.48DrodoEmpireGreyCat: Yes you can
21:21.57AGrayCatok
21:22.00dromYes, you can.
21:22.00AGrayCatill publish it and drop a link
21:22.01DrodoEmpiredrom: olol
21:22.04AGrayCatplease do give me advice
21:22.08DrodoEmpireOf course1
21:22.10DrodoEmpire*!
21:22.15AGrayCatright now it is a full-on draft
21:22.39AGrayCatdarn loading the edits
21:22.40GD12aye i'm looking forward to it
21:22.50AGrayCatdon't.
21:22.51AGrayCathttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Glistennaen_National_Republics
21:22.53AGrayCatit is a terrible draft
21:22.59dromhttp://i.imgur.com/FAz0YBJ.webm
21:23.59AGrayCatso
21:24.04AGrayCatthe community is the mother cat
21:24.07AGrayCatand i'm the kitten
21:24.08AGrayCatseems accurate
21:24.31Wormy_really detailed for a first starter
21:24.34GD12"Interested in expanding and growing its military for possible conflicts, the Glistennaen National Republic is still however one of the smallest empires, with one of the smallest amounts of influence in the entire known universe."
21:24.44GD12to be fair the vast majority of the empires on SW are small
21:24.52GD12its just that the ones that get written about are often the big players
21:25.06GD12but remember that for each of them ,space is vast enough that there are countless small civilizqations as well
21:25.16DrodoEmpireAhh GrayCat, need help with the Tiers?
21:25.20AGrayCatindeed
21:25.32DrodoEmpireThat damned thing has gotten very confusing over the past few years...
21:25.33AGrayCatyeah but we absolutely suck at expansion
21:25.34dromwaves in triumph
21:25.47GD12Tier 4 = Star Trek/ UNSC Halo
21:25.53GD12Tier 3 = Imperium of Man/Covenant
21:25.53Wormy_http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:192744#The_Scale
21:26.23Wormy_Did you find that link?
21:26.30DrodoEmpireThe way I understand it is that Tier 5 is just above the level of the modern day, barely spacefaring, and the rest can be accurately characterized with examples
21:26.35dromAlternatively, you can choose not to use the Tier systerm for favor of describing their technology instead.
21:26.44Wormy_or both
21:26.45DrodoEmpireEhh not really
21:27.11DrodoEmpireIts good to describe tech in detail but the tier system acts as a quick if arbitrary reference for people
21:27.27DrodoEmpireWith tier two being an awkward space between three and one many fictions find themselves in
21:27.49DrodoEmpireOne being the biggest civs; Examples in pop culture being the Galactic Empire in Star Wars
21:27.51AGrayCatyep that link
21:27.59DrodoEmpireOr The Culture
21:28.01AGrayCatyeah i'm gonna be the galactic empire when pigs fly
21:28.06DrodoEmpirehur
21:28.07DrodoEmpireDepends
21:28.16DrodoEmpireDrodo started as tier four but rapidly modernized
21:28.32GD12most fictions modernize during their time on the wiki
21:28.37DrodoEmpire^
21:28.40GD12mostly during collabs
21:28.52GD12war fics are popular because people get salvage and stuff
21:28.54GD12furthermore
21:28.59GD12lower tier civs can purchase higher tier tech
21:29.03GD12there is an arms market
21:29.07AGrayCatso
21:29.10AGrayCatcould someone do the flag?
21:29.20DrodoEmpireYes.
21:29.23AGrayCatyay
21:29.25AGrayCatthank you
21:29.26dromThe tier system feels more like a drag race between who can compensate their [expletive] the most
21:29.31DrodoEmpireI'd suggest asking someone on their message wall
21:29.36DrodoEmpireI'm really lazy right now
21:29.37DrodoEmpire>.<
21:29.46AGrayCatit is only a white flag with a green circle in the middle but eh
21:29.48Wormy_It is generally a good idea if you want to advance fiction, is to explain how (in an original way to stand out), or use things like the Gigaquadrant market and collab
21:29.50DrodoEmpireI know
21:29.53AGrayCatList of people who do flags?
21:29.55DrodoEmpireI'm just that lazy
21:30.00DrodoEmpireMe... Sorta
21:30.02GD12Charles_Murray
21:30.05DrodoEmpireCharles is one of the best
21:30.06GD12ask hinm on the weekend
21:30.09dromAGrayCat: Here is the list:
21:30.11drom1. EVERYONE
21:30.26AGrayCatoo
21:30.49Wormy_I actually created the tier scale as a cheap comparison of sci-fi civilisations when I got really into vs. debates
21:30.59DrodoEmpireWormy: really?
21:31.10GD12aye those debates were popular back in the day i think
21:31.16Wormy_Then it became an essay on tech development.  So yeah, no woner it confuses people
21:31.21DrodoEmpireGD: Indeed
21:31.28AGrayCatwell
21:31.34AGrayCatmy debate is that my civ is the worst civ
21:31.36DrodoEmpireI remember StarDestroyer.net as one
21:31.38AGrayCatwho wants to challenge it
21:31.38Wormy_Spacebattles.com, Galactic Empire.net etc I used to browse all the time
21:31.46DrodoEmpireThat site was a... riot. XD
21:31.54DrodoEmpireNonsense GrayCat
21:31.55Wormy_That was it, sd.net
21:32.08GD12nonsense
21:32.11AGrayCatWhich empire is the smallest then?
21:32.16GD12the unnamed ones
21:32.18DrodoEmpireYou would find the most obscene insults on there... It was awesome
21:32.25Wormy_Spacebattles.com has cool animations though (well poor quality actually)
21:32.26DrodoEmpireYou can change the size at this point you know
21:32.32DrodoEmpireWormy: Right lil
21:32.34DrodoEmpire*lol
21:32.37GD12Seriously you're fic is still an embryonic stage
21:32.42GD12you can make it bigger if you want
21:32.52AGrayCatso
21:32.54GD12you can also compensate by giving it other advantages if you're hellbent on keeping them small rn
21:33.13DrodoEmpireYeah don;t feel pressured into shooting your fiction in the foot
21:33.13dromDrodoEmpire: The sd .net has obscene insults?
21:33.14Wormy_DrodoEmpire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45L6t9mAXM0&list=PLCBA7CB3907B735A6
21:33.19dromI like it!
21:33.23DrodoEmpiredrom: Yeah they were pretty funny. XD
21:33.26GD12Such as giving them lots of andasium reserves (fictionverse oil and something that smaller civs have lots of)
21:33.47DrodoEmpirehttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction%3AAndasium
21:33.58GD12If your fic is too OP or UP collaboration is hard
21:34.02DrodoEmpire^
21:34.27Wormy_Drodo:  Babylon 5 vs Star Trek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIrS9hiE09Y&index=7&list=PLCBA7CB3907B735A6
21:34.59GD12For example, I made my fiction OP with the explicit intention of having it set up as the big bad for a collaborative fiction which would kill it off
21:35.12GD12which will resume/continue next semester when i have a ridiculously easy last stretch workload
21:35.14DrodoEmpireWormy: The quality tho
21:35.20GD12i will be back from breakfast 4 good
21:35.28DrodoEmpireGD: Damn you and your long breakfasts
21:35.48DrodoEmpireWormy: Pretty cool anyway
21:35.48GD12aye
21:35.49Wormy_So badly compressed
21:36.05Wormy_or compiled
21:36.24dromGoddamn, that quality is about good as a bowl of cardboard flakes
21:36.26Wormy_Yeah, I quite liked Alpha Quadrant because it was even handed
21:36.28dromfor breakfast
21:36.40GD12AGrayCat : it won't matter for your first fics since those are first contact fics
21:36.43GD12but if you want realism
21:36.49GD12you can't be too small for war fics
21:37.30GD12Also your history is quite good
21:37.39AGrayCatfirst contact
21:37.40AGrayCatso basically
21:37.46AGrayCatwe never met anyone in borealis
21:37.47Wormy_Though Rommies can't take on Vorlons imo *points angrily at tier scale*
21:37.48AGrayCatuntil today?
21:38.25GD12no
21:38.32GD12first ontact with another fiction empire
21:38.35dromWormy_: *NS jumps around DCP excitedly*
21:38.36GD12*named
21:38.39GD12as in collab
21:38.45AGrayCatwell
21:38.50AGrayCatthis is embarrassing
21:38.53AGrayCatwe never met ANYOJNE?
21:39.09GD12no no no
21:39.13GD12you've met other civs before
21:39.16GD12but for a collaboration
21:39.25GD12this is your first time meet ing  a civ that belongs to a user on the wiki
21:40.07AGrayCatyay
21:40.09AGrayCatwho wants to do a collab
21:40.27AGrayCatin the future of course
21:40.27DrodoEmpireI don't have colonies or any characters in Borealis. >.<
21:40.28DrodoEmpireSo I can't for now
21:40.31GD12I'd offer for a band of ex-tyranny mercenaries to meet them
21:40.34AGrayCatright now i just need ideas for my republic mhmm
21:40.39GD12Though those don't constitute an actual stte
21:40.40AGrayCatoh ex-tyranny?
21:40.43AGrayCatthey would love us
21:40.47AGrayCatwe pretend to be a democracy
21:40.48GD12AGrayCat : think about your republic's military
21:40.50AGrayCatbut underneath
21:40.51AGrayCatheh
21:41.44GD12but for ideas you should think of foreign policy and military
21:41.47GD12as well as important characters
21:41.57dromYou are saying that it is to the core an authorithan power?
21:42.07GD12a fair bit of wiki action is squad or crew based wherein captains and heroes are involved
21:42.14DrodoEmpireYeah
21:42.15GD12while other wiki action is faced on larger scale military standoffs
21:42.21AGrayCatnah
21:42.25AGrayCatwe look like a loving democracy
21:42.28AGrayCatwith free elections
21:42.30AGrayCatbut
21:42.31DrodoEmpireOther stuff is surrounding larger scale national politics/war
21:42.33AGrayCatour elections are rigged
21:42.36AGrayCatcrime if rife
21:42.37AGrayCatis rife
21:42.40DrodoEmpireSo its profoundly corrupt.
21:42.46dromJust like China
21:42.47dromhur
21:42.48AGrayCatwe only investigate if you pay us a fee and we didn't do it in the first place
21:42.49AGrayCatheh
21:42.55AGrayCatchina looks like a utopia compared to us
21:43.21AGrayCatthis link would fit
21:43.23AGrayCathttp://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrapsaccharineWorld
21:43.25DrodoEmpireThe Drodo Empire is sorta corrupt in the sense that centuries-old tradition often clashes with modern law (and often wins)
21:44.04DrodoEmpireYou're not *supposed* to own enough weapons to arm a small army... But if they're your clan's property the police best look the other way.

21:44.55AGrayCatwho wants to be muh ally
21:45.09DrodoEmpireDunno if the Drodo can *quite* yet
21:45.09GD12_You should probs flesh your fiction out more
21:45.17GD12_before you decide on alliances and stuff
21:45.21DrodoEmpireever colonize the Quadrants or the milky way though
21:45.23dromImperios: "Azók, Baron of the Fondledsacks"
21:45.32GD12_again military and foreign policy, flesh those out
21:47.21Wormy_Drodo:  This wasn't isn't as bad quality wise but is unrealistic imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxMNDMBf-e4
21:47.58DrodoEmpireCompletely unrealistic... XD
21:48.10DrodoEmpireStar trek universe would be utterly *annihilated* by the Galactic Empire
21:48.15DrodoEmpirehardly even a contest
21:49.07DrodoEmpireExcluding Q because Q *never* counts.
21:49.25Wormy_Including Babylon 5
21:49.39Wormy_But here is one I could believe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4CXKPcO09s
21:50.12DrodoEmpireYeah I suppose
21:50.21DrodoEmpireActually now that I think about it
21:50.28DrodoEmpireMost SW fictions could easily overrun the ST universe
21:50.36DrodoEmpireDrodo would eat the federation for lunch
21:50.56Wormy_yep
21:51.20AGrayCatwhat about us
21:51.26AGrayCatwould we overrun the federation?
21:51.34DrodoEmpire*Especially* in ground battles... though seeing as the federation's ground army is nonexistent in the first place its not a big achievement
21:51.42GD12_the federation has a gorund army?
21:51.46GD12_set phasers on stun
21:51.49AGrayCatBe serious kids.
21:51.53DrodoEmpireImpossible to tell as you've not elaborated on the military
21:51.58DrodoEmpireGD12: body armour
21:52.01GD12_AGrayCat : tell us about your military first
21:52.03DrodoEmpireAnd limited range on stun
21:52.13GD12_thats the joke
21:52.13AGrayCatPortraying the five year mission of a group of troops isn't as exciting as a spaceship series.
21:52.17Wormy_I do think the Borg might stand a chance against even bigger empires if they have time to assimilate tech, they are already Tier 2
21:52.20AGrayCatok
21:52.30AGrayCatour military is mainly space-based
21:52.37AGrayCatwith a large ground forces
21:52.41DrodoEmpireGraycat, the assumption in debate is that we're debating as if the subjects are *real*
21:52.46AGrayCatuhuh
21:52.51GD12_so are most empire's
21:52.56GD12_you probably need to elaborate more
21:53.02DrodoEmpire^
21:53.07AGrayCatWe have 10,000,000 troops. Is that okay for a 70 billion pop empire?
21:53.14DrodoEmpireWhat troops?
21:53.16Wormy_If the GE (Legends) took on the Borg at full might, Borg might be destroyed.  But if the Borg had time, it might be another story
21:53.20DrodoEmpireWhat is their service weapon? Equipment?
21:53.24DrodoEmpireVehicles? Artillery?
21:53.30DrodoEmpireAir support?
21:53.31AGrayCatwell
21:53.37AGrayCatAir support.
21:53.41AGrayCatHEAVY air support.
21:53.47DrodoEmpireWhat planes?
21:53.49GD12_70 billion in pop is probably not that much
21:53.51AGrayCatKey factor of the military is bombard the enemy on the ground to hell and back.
21:53.52GD12_considering thats only 10 earths
21:53.59AGrayCatwhat pop would you suggest then?
21:54.08AGrayCatNo planes. Entirely space-based.
21:54.08Wormy_I think with either Borg or GE you could construct a story where either wins
21:54.17AGrayCatWhat about Grox?
21:54.18DrodoEmpireGE would probably bowl over the Borg easy
21:54.25GD12_several trillion
21:54.29Wormy_Only if they acted fast and hard
21:54.33GD12_go with several trillion and several thousand
21:54.35GD12_*sytstems
21:54.36DrodoEmpireChances are they can't adapt to turbolasers/blasters as they aren't phasers or anything
21:54.44DrodoEmpireWormy: Which the GE is known for
21:54.52AGrayCatDrodoEmpire
21:54.55GD12_the federation has thousands of colonies
21:54.59DrodoEmpireA blitzkrieg through Borg space would annihilate them
21:55.02AGrayCatWhat would happen to the Grox in a war with the Galactic Empire?
21:55.05GD12_and ~10 trillion people
21:55.09DrodoEmpireDepends
21:55.10GD12_sporewiki grox?
21:55.14GD12_or spore game grox
21:55.17DrodoEmpireBasegame spore its not even a contest
21:55.26DrodoEmpireSporewiki groxs and you're talking a more even fight
21:55.27GD12_would be really close if its sporewiki grox
21:55.28DrodoEmpire*grox
21:55.31GD12_since those are tier 1 too
21:55.35GD12_but due to system cap limits
21:55.38Wormy_Agreed.  But imagine if you had the Borg assimilating Star Wars tech in the background over a long time period, conquering the entire Milky Way, and then going into the temporal intergalactic wormhole
21:55.43GD12_they couldn't challenge the empire in a war of attrition
21:55.48AGrayCatBasegame Grox would get wrecked?
21:55.53DrodoEmpireYes
21:55.55GD12_for perspective
21:55.58GD12_basegame grox is tier 3
21:56.01GD12_sporewiki grox tier 1
21:56.12AGrayCatwhy are the grox so powerful
21:56.24Wormy_Even small SporeWiki Grox independents would ruin the Spore Grox
21:56.27DrodoEmpireWormy: i doubt the Ge would give the Borg the hundreds or thousands of years needed to assimilate the veritable clarketech that the GE has
21:56.29GD12_they were one of the ficverses big bads
21:56.40GD12_they were the advanced high tech big bads
21:56.46GD12_the xhodocto were the supernatural lovecraftian big bads
21:56.53DrodoEmpireBut then they got blasted
21:57.17Wormy_Well, I don't think Borg tech is too far off the mark, they neearly have hyperdrives http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/3/35/Transwarphub.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101222212902&path-prefix=en
21:57.17DrodoEmpireShot up, all that stuff
21:57.30dromApparently a private school in Washington had a problem of the young girls putting on make up and lipstick in the toliet, everytime they'd do it, they kiss on the mirror, leaving prints of lips on the mirror. The school's commissionarie grew tired of spending hours cleaning the mirror every day, he solved it in an unusual yet genious way: One day he told the girls to go to their restroom as he wanted to demostrate them how hard it is to clean the
21:57.30drommirror, he takes his scraper -- and dips it in a toliet and whips the mirror clean.
21:57.41DrodoEmpireI think transwarp is pretty freaking behind
21:57.42dromNo girl has ever kissed on the mirror ever since
21:58.06DrodoEmpirePlus the Borg have almost no tactics at all which would kill them
21:58.31DrodoEmpireSuperior Imperial tactics and extremely slow Borg response time would mean that the GE has the advantage
21:58.44DrodoEmpireDon't think it'd be very close honestly
21:58.49ImperiosAlright so I am going to pull off a Charles Murray
21:58.51DrodoEmpireBorg's a bit of a paper dragon
21:58.56ImperiosAnd going to represent my own country in the Fantasyverse
21:58.59AGrayCatWhat pop would you recommend for my Republic?
21:59.00ImperiosOr, rather, my city
21:59.07Wormy_I only think its close if the Borg had time to gather more tech
21:59.12DrodoEmpirecyka blyat vodka hurhurhur
21:59.16GD12_10 trillion with 3,000 colonies or something
21:59.23AGrayCatwe only have 543 planets
21:59.24GD12_thats the Star Trek Federation's size
21:59.28AGrayCatso... calculation?
21:59.34Wormy_And learn the GE's tactics
21:59.34GD12_then go with 2 trillion
21:59.38DrodoEmpireWormy: That's fair enough
21:59.44GD12_why are you hellbent on having 543 planets
21:59.44AGrayCat2 trillion is a tad bit big
21:59.47AGrayCatcause
21:59.48DrodoEmpireBut that's a *big* hypothetical is all I'm saying
21:59.50AGrayCatits a small number
21:59.57AGrayCatallows me to have a small amount of planets
22:00.02ImperiosDrodoEmpire: Nooo, it's "samka sobaki, prodazhnaya zhenschina, alkogolny napitok, kha!"
22:00.08AGrayCatand allows me to be a stupidly small power
22:00.09DrodoEmpireoh
22:00.09DrodoEmpire>:
22:00.18GD12_so you're ttrying to be stupidly small intentionally?
22:00.19ImperiosI live in the classiest city in Russia and I am going to represent that
22:00.20DrodoEmpirewhy do you want to be small? XD
22:00.31GD12_*empire is trying to be stupidly small intentionally
22:00.36Wormy_The Culture minds would view the GE as cute.
22:00.46DrodoEmpireRight
22:00.55DrodoEmpireDunno too much about the Culture honestly (though I want to)
22:01.05Wormy_And Xeeleeverse huanity would view the Culture as cute
22:01.13DrodoEmpireolol
22:01.20GD12_and the xeelee would view xeeleeverse humanity as cute
22:01.23GD12_and the photino birds
22:01.39dromTek0516: Update on the arson attempt on my housing today (in Swedish) http://www.svt.se/nyheter/regionalt/orebro/misstankt-mordbrand-pa-boende-for-horselskadade
22:01.44Wormy_And Monads view Xeelee as cute
22:02.18ImperiosA ghost port city built on a swamp upon the corpses of those who built it where sun never shines and it always rains. Beautiful architecture but every single inhabitant of the city is actually undead
22:02.21Wormy_I'm not sure if you can get more powerful than Xhodocto / Monad / Downstreamers level in science fiction
22:02.29ImperiosDoes that sound like a good idea?
22:02.29DrodoEmpireAnd late game Prussia sees them all as cute because they basiclaly have space marines by 1700
22:02.42GD12_AGrayCat : Being too small can limit your fiction capabilities
22:02.45AGrayCathm
22:02.48GD12_*collaboration
22:02.51AGrayCatbut 543 is a good number
22:02.56DrodoEmpireImpy: Yeah sure
22:03.02AGrayCati'm like venice the city state
22:03.04DrodoEmpirePerhaps not as good as you'd think
22:03.04AGrayCatwe trade
22:03.09AGrayCatwe are slightly militaristic
22:03.18DrodoEmpireEh possibly
22:03.25AGrayCatwe have far-flung trade colonies
22:03.30DrodoEmpireThough if you want to be a trading nation a good place for that is the Quadrants
22:03.42ImperiosAGrayCat: Make sure to have every single citizen of your empire greedy as fuck
22:03.54ImperiosThese fucking Venetians cheated me out of my money when I was there
22:04.02DrodoEmpirehas *tons* of international trade routes and wormholes up the wazoo
22:04.31AGrayCathey
22:04.37AGrayCatmy people didn't have a choice in settling
22:04.38Wormy_Xeeleeverse humanity tried to use the energy of a universe going big crunch to stop the Xeelee scourge nearly 1 million years in the future
22:04.46AGrayCatthey got pretty much press ganged into settling where they settled
22:04.55Wormy_didn't work
22:04.56AGrayCatcause they committed genocide
22:05.15DrodoEmpireAGrayCat: You can settle whereever you want OOC
22:05.22AGrayCatuhuh
22:05.29DrodoEmpireWormy: Well shit
22:05.31AGrayCatbut i chose borealis cause of its description
22:05.45DrodoEmpireAlright. :p
22:05.55GD12_http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Gigaquadrantic_Universal_Order_(2800)
22:06.03GD12_543 systems puts your firmly in minor nation status
22:06.03Wormy_DrodoeMpire:  Anyway if you read ThomasP's excerps  from one of the books you can see what I mean https://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?t=150695#p3558329
22:06.07GD12_which is not what venice is
22:06.20AGrayCatno text in page bud
22:06.25DrodoEmpirevenice had many shekels
22:06.28AGrayCatVenice was a minor nation though.
22:06.33AGrayCata city-state even with colonies
22:06.34DrodoEmpirelolnope
22:06.34GD12_http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Gigaquadrantic_Universal_Order_(2800)
22:06.47GD12_ngh
22:06.50GD12_why isn't link working
22:06.50DrodoEmpireIt was a ridiculously rich italian state at its height
22:06.51GD12_http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Gigaquadrantic_Universal_Order_(2800)
22:06.53DrodoEmpireBracket
22:06.59GD12_bracket just turns black
22:07.05DrodoEmpireDon't be racist
22:07.07DrodoEmpireWhat the fuck
22:07.10dromWorks fine for me
22:07.11GD12_http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Gigaquadrantic_Universal_Order_(2800))
22:07.19GD12_try that then
22:07.22GD12_Venice was a powerful nation
22:07.23dromAaaand now it is kaput!
22:07.24GD12_definitely not minor
22:07.35DrodoEmpireIt had a navy capable of taking on the *ottomans*
22:07.51DrodoEmpireJust because it wasn't geographically expansive doesn't mean it didn't hold sway
22:07.53AGrayCatvenice was still stupidly tiny compared to most empires
22:07.54DrodoEmpireAnyway
22:07.56DrodoEmpireSo?
22:07.58GD12_Venice was an economic and maritime superpower
22:07.59AGrayCatExactly.
22:08.08AGrayCatI want to have economic capabilities, but be small.
22:08.11DrodoEmpireIt was rich and had a lot of friends
22:08.14AGrayCatexactly.
22:08.22GD12_well heres the thing
22:08.23GD12_think in character
22:08.39Wormy_You want it to be reasonable, but not so small your fiction is limited.
22:08.39AGrayCatIn character, my nation is a dystopia where my leaders rob the people regularly.
22:08.40dromIt also helps that the Ottoman Empire were considered as a pariah state by the Europeans
22:08.45dromwas*
22:08.57AGrayCatso
22:09.10DrodoEmpireYeah europeans were for a long time pretty on board with beating the shit outta the Turks
22:09.13GD12_tl;dr being too small limits your fiction opportunities
22:09.19DrodoEmpireFrance had an alliance with them for a while though
22:09.49GD12_also its gonna take time to make those trade routes with the gigauqadrant
22:10.23GD12_its not like you're going to introduce them as the magical place where automatically all commerece is rerouted too
22:10.33AGrayCatCould we have had them for a small time? Like a few decades?
22:10.38DrodoEmpireWell I mean if you're playing EUIV you can
22:10.46DrodoEmpireThat's a lot of retcons
22:10.49GD12_could have had what?
22:10.56DrodoEmpireMight be better to establish those connections yourself
22:11.04DrodoEmpirePeople are open to that sorta thing and its really rewarding
22:11.15AGrayCattrade routes
22:11.19dromBeing experienced with Civ5 can help
22:11.25AGrayCathey i play ciV
22:11.32DrodoEmpireOr EUIV. Own a good trade node and you're set
22:11.54AGrayCatAlso, my pop bumped up to 300,000,000,000
22:12.00AGrayCatmilitary now at 16,000,000
22:12.05AGrayCatIs that okay?
22:12.15AGrayCator should I bump it down?
22:12.21DrodoEmpireThat's fine/.
22:12.26drom300 billion, that's enuff
22:12.38GD12_i guess thats fine
22:13.02XhoYou can have any population you want just as long as it isn't disproportionate for the territories
22:13.08GD12_more soldiers fought in WW2 than that weirdly
22:13.09DrodoEmpire^
22:13.13GD12_and thats only a single planet
22:13.45DrodoEmpireEvery fiction character that isn't human - *self important rant about the violent nature of humans*
22:14.03GD12_the us alone had 16.4 million people enlistd during WWII
22:14.37GD12_with a population of 130 million
22:15.07DrodoEmpireI think at some point Canada had close to/a whole eighth of its population enlisted
22:15.17DrodoEmpireAlso at the end of WWI Canada had the world's largest navy
22:15.18AGrayCatwith the 1% rule i could have 3,000,000,000 (3 billion) people in my military
22:15.18DrodoEmpire:p
22:15.32XhoSelf important rant about violent nature of humans -> At least 70% of the Gigaquadrant is more violent than humans
22:15.39DrodoEmpireThat's the joke
22:15.45GD12_^^
22:15.47AGrayCatand that is with the 1% rule
22:15.59Xhohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xECUrlnXCqk Reminds me of this
22:16.13Wormy_That's the joke
22:16.20Wormy_Uh oh, recursion!
22:17.02AGrayCath
22:17.32XhoHachi_Away: https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/t1.0-9/12241694_1234685629890636_3038910716343195586_n.jpg?oh=254b385d4034fb3caed67c1d5142a489&oe=56EB5098
22:17.43AGrayCathow long should my people live for
22:17.53DrodoEmpireDepends a lot on quality of life and species
22:18.00DrodoEmpireAnd social class and all that
22:18.25DrodoEmpireHaving a comprehensive and free healthcare program would mean your people likely live very long and healthy lives for your species
22:18.26XhoIf they're advanced enough they could technically live forever if they've achieved technological immortality
22:18.39DrodoEmpireIf that doesn't exist then its probably pretty short
22:18.43XhoYeah
22:18.51GD12_just give it a few hundred years
22:18.53DrodoEmpireAnd yes with advanced technology you can be immortal
22:18.57DrodoEmpireLike with France
22:19.15XhoNot quite sure how many civilisations have done that but it's not a particularly advanced medium
22:19.29AGrayCatsome of my leaders elsewhere are immortal
22:19.39AGrayCatelsewhere, not on sporewiki
22:19.48AGrayCatthough very very few
22:19.51XhoI mean humanity is talking about it now let alone a civilisation as advanced as France or the Draconis
22:20.01AGrayCatAnd I wanted Kmouv' to die eventually.
22:20.09DrodoEmpireThe Drodo for example have a pretty good free healthcare system, but a lot of Drodo (mostly males) die rather young anyway due to workplace accidents or violence (Drodo have a really big miliary they use a lot of clan/tribal warfare is common on poorer planets)
22:20.11AGrayCatKmouv'... how does 137 sound?
22:20.37DrodoEmpire*and they have a lot of clan/tribal warfare
22:21.53GD12_sounds good
22:21.56DrodoEmpireNowhere near a dystopia but its a noticable problem
22:22.01DrodoEmpireAnd yeah
22:22.01AGrayCatMy guy dies at 137 in 2093.
22:22.03GD12_exact numbers don't matter that much tbh
22:22.08GD12_think more about overarching themes
22:22.13GD12_and unique characrteristics
22:23.25AGrayCatthe number really does matter
22:23.34AGrayCati want a giant civil war to happen around the same time
22:24.16DrodoEmpireI take a great interest in history and if there's one thing I learnt its that specifics are rarely relevant
22:24.23DrodoEmpireThey're *great* for fleshing things out
22:24.44DrodoEmpireBut they should be put aside for a bit until you have the greatest trends and events down pat
22:25.02GD12_get the overall form done first
22:25.05GD12_then worry about specifics
22:25.28DrodoEmpireAnyway
22:25.39DrodoEmpireI do live the detail though
22:25.42DrodoEmpireExcellent writing
22:25.46GD12_aye thats true
22:25.49DrodoEmpire*love the detail
22:26.59DrodoEmpireBut yeah I imagine in Drodo vs. Star trek Federation taking over a planet would probably only need a few brigades of infantry and cavalry. :p
22:27.37DrodoEmpireI don't think they have militias of any sort so unless starfleet's there its a matter of walking into town square and putting up the flag
22:27.57GD12_basically a parade unit then
22:27.58AGrayCatI'm writing a heavily dystopian part.
22:28.00GD12_an intimidating one
22:28.00DrodoEmpireAnd if there is then a few cavalry charges would probably scare'em into the woods
22:28.03GD12_aye
22:28.09GD12_try to shock hussars
22:28.15DrodoEmpireRight. XD
22:28.16AGrayCatIt details how the entire Republic fell apart after Kmouv'alk died.
22:28.21DrodoEmpireInteresting
22:29.33DrodoEmpireBut yeah basically they'd just march in without a shot fired.
22:30.15DrodoEmpireA "major" (as far as starfleet can actually muster a ground army) battle would probably again just be some skirmishing, and then the Drodo would inevitably break the Federation lines with an advance: or a bayonet charge
22:30.49DrodoEmpireConsidering phasers can't penetrate packing crates, pretty sure real body armour could hold back a shot or two. XD
22:31.11GD12_you could have drodo porters lead the charge
22:31.15GD12_with giant packing crates
22:31.29GD12_an army of forklifts
22:31.36DrodoEmpireololol
22:31.46DrodoEmpireDrodo - That'll learn'em
22:32.32DrodoEmpireBut yeah like I said beating the federation's not an impressive feat
22:32.51GD12_a better landmark imo
22:32.54AGrayCateven we could beat em
22:32.54GD12_the UNSC
22:32.56GD12_then Covenant
22:32.59GD12_then the Imperium of Man
22:33.10Wormy_DrodoEmpire http://imgur.com/gallery/yXhFuR8
22:33.21DrodoEmpireNor is beating the Klingons really, besides the fact they probably wouldn't flee at the sight of a thin line of infantry with bayonets fixed
22:33.23GD12_THEN the Star Wars Empire (but only on a tactical scale so the 70 million planets of the empire isnt a factor)
22:33.45DrodoEmpireGD: yeah that's true
22:34.04DrodoEmpireUNSC would probably be a slightly more even fight
22:34.12DrodoEmpireThough I dunno much about their capabilities
22:34.21DrodoEmpireCovenant would be pretty even possibly
22:34.31DrodoEmpireIoM is where the Drodo would run into *serious* trouble
22:34.58DrodoEmpireMaybe not on the tactical level so much but pitting the entire Empire and the entire Imperium isn't gonna go well for the Drodo
22:35.05GD12_^
22:35.11GD12_Drodo would probably be like the Tau
22:35.18DrodoEmpireYeah that's a good comparison
22:35.22GD12_in that they could contest the IOM tactically bc long range power
22:35.24GD12_but just because of scale
22:35.34GD12_you ain't gonna see Drodoian cavalry prancing through terra
22:35.39DrodoEmpire^
22:35.41DrodoEmpireRight hur
22:36.17Wormy_DCP vs. GE would probably grind into attrition warfare.  The DCP could probably take IoM but doubtful they could establish order and would regret going to that hellhole of a universe
22:36.35DrodoEmpire^
22:36.39DrodoEmpiremakes a lot of sense
22:36.46Xhoxhodocto fuk u alllll
22:36.51DrodoEmpireayy lmao
22:36.56Wormy_Daleks, Culture etc mop the floor with the DCP, and probably about any SporeWikiverse power
22:37.03DrodoEmpire^
22:37.20AGrayCatwhat about grox
22:37.25AGrayCatsporewiki gro
22:37.26AGrayCatgrox
22:37.28Wormy_Meta-Empire?
22:37.32AGrayCatuhuh
22:37.34AGrayCatand all the independents
22:37.38XhoGrox are very middle-tier on the wiki
22:37.38DrodoEmpireDrodo - *Tips over a Dalek* Aha!
22:37.45DrodoEmpireNowadays yeah
22:37.59AGrayCatWhat about the Xhodocto at their peak?
22:38.13DrodoEmpireXhodocto aren't even on the scale
22:38.20DrodoEmpireThey're more akin to a force of nature
22:38.21AGrayCathow?
22:38.33DrodoEmpireAs opposed to a state
22:38.33GD12_xhodocto at peak is basically god
22:38.40Wormy_Are Necrons low, mid or high Tier 1?
22:38.49GD12_probably low/mid
22:38.51XhoNecrons are probably mid
22:38.57AGrayCatSo
22:38.59AGrayCatany criticism?
22:39.00XhoThey've got a few weird quirks though
22:39.01AGrayCatI updated.

22:41.31AGrayCatGD12_
22:41.37GD12_yes?
22:41.41AGrayCatWho were you talking about when you talked about the detail though?
22:41.45AGrayCatXho?
22:41.46GD12_your fiction
22:41.48AGrayCatoh
22:42.46AGrayCatwell uh
22:42.51AGrayCatthanks
22:43.01XhoWormy_: In all truth the Dragonborn would destroy the Lone Wanderer
22:43.15AGrayCatxho do you have an opinion on my fiction?
22:43.20GD12_I contemplate the fanfiction empires thing as well. Even that their most powerful the Dominatus would need to lube up for a solidly high tier 1 power such as galactic patrol, culture, and daleks
22:43.22XhoHaven't read it
22:43.32XhoAlso I'm usually uncomfortable with giving opinions
22:43.54DrodoEmpireLooks fine GrayCat, appreciate the detail
22:44.14DrodoEmpireLike the idea of leaving the homeworld
22:45.03AGrayCatI plan to add a full-on funeral section.
22:45.03XhoThat being said I dunno about the Hero of Kvatch vs The Dragonborn
22:45.06Wormy_I totally agree
22:45.26XhoThe Hero of Kvatch is technically Sheogorath so he instantly wins
22:45.28Xhoor she
22:45.57XhoAGrayCat: The only criticism I'd have is that the paragraphs are too short, perhaps you should join some together
22:46.11XhoIt would make it easier to read
22:46.13AGrayCathmm
22:46.20AGrayCatI plan to expand them massively later on.
22:46.24AGrayCatI'm just laying down framework
22:46.29AGrayCatand then adding the meat to the bone
22:46.44AGrayCatI want a clear view of what happens before I adventure out into the world of detail
22:48.51AGrayCatimagine the G.N.R as almost as bad as oceania
22:48.56AGrayCatjust moderately bette
22:48.57AGrayCatbetter
22:49.06AGrayCatsince most people aren't investigated
22:49.11AGrayCatand the ENTIRE government lives in luxury
22:49.16DrodoEmpireAh
22:49.43AGrayCatI plan to make a Kmouv'alk cult later on, based completely around Kmouv'alk and how he is the 'god incarnate'.
22:49.53AGrayCatOr, 'spode incarnate;.
22:50.11AGrayCatafter various integration processes into sporewiki society
22:50.21DrodoEmpireCan be either or
22:50.30DrodoEmpireSpodism exists but a lot of other religions do too
22:50.48DrodoEmpireDrodo have a bunch of religions native to them, and things like Christianity and Islam are still kicking around

23:13.42CuttlefishHi
23:13.43*** join/#sporewiki TekDroid (~TekDroid@lx02.housing.carleton.ca)
23:13.47CuttlefishWow. The IRC looks really different.
23:14.47DrodoEmpireJust notice? XD
23:14.55DrodoEmpireFirst time on in a while?
23:15.48CuttlefishYes. I got very busy with other stuff. Also, as far as I know, nothing has happened in a while.
23:16.16DrodoEmpireFictionwise you mean?
23:17.15DrodoEmpireBecause a *lot* has happened with the fictionverse lately. XD
23:18.08CuttlefishWhat kind of things? You make anything fun? I still haven't read any of the newer stories. I should probably do that.
23:18.24DrodoEmpireThe Great Xonexian Schism for one
23:18.27DrodoEmpireFrance's rise to power
23:18.34DrodoEmpireMy fiction has some developments
23:18.52DrodoEmpireNot the best educated on Borealis but pretty sure new stuff's coming out of there all the time
23:19.07DrodoEmpireI'd take a look
23:19.37CuttlefishI thought the great xonexian war thing was a doomed fart fiction that made everyone upset
23:20.06DrodoEmpireNo no
23:20.13DrodoEmpireIt started out *really* rough yes
23:20.23DrodoEmpireBut it got off the ground quick after that whole controversy settled down
23:20.35DrodoEmpirePeople made their decision and things were revised
23:20.35CuttlefishThat's nice to hear.
23:20.39DrodoEmpire*decisions
23:21.05DrodoEmpireAnyway best not talk too much about that
