01:54.23DrodoEmpireHi
01:55.14AKtheKingHello!
01:57.25DrodoEmpireSorry about the lack of activity here... :p

01:58.53DrodoEmpireHello
01:58.57AeoHello
01:58.57DrodoEmpireLong time no see. :p
01:59.07AeoIndeed.
01:59.23OfficerJackalWoah! You are back! :D Haven't seen you in like forever!
02:00.01AeoRight. Sorry about that.
02:00.19DrodoEmpireIts no problem. What brings you back?
02:00.26DrodoEmpireOr alternatively why'd you leave?
02:00.40Wormy_awayHi Aeo, welcome back.
02:00.52AeoLost interest. See, the thing is that my characters on here are not any good, so I never get engaged in them.
02:01.03DrodoEmpireAh...
02:01.18DrodoEmpireYeah character development's a more difficult thing to write for sure
02:01.38AeoAnd as for what brings me back, pushing this. http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2t52a?ThePuppyTurtles-Shattered-Star-Livestream-Epic
02:02.07AeoSo if you do need an excuse to hang out with me OJ, there you go. Would love you to be there.
02:02.08DrodoEmpirePart of why I really like worldbuilding and whatnot; I enjoy just writing about fluff surrounding the Drodo. :p
02:02.46DrodoEmpireAh
02:02.58DrodoEmpireHmm, might not be able to play anyhow
02:03.33OfficerJackalHmm, cool! I'll try and download it, is it free?
02:04.01OfficerJackalAnd also, I have absolutely no experience with this sort of game. :x
02:04.39AeoThat's fine. I went into this expecting mostly my YT friends to join up. And it is free, here's the link. http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/
02:05.31DrodoEmpirehttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Drodo_Empire/Culture#Family - Also in terms of fiction. I edited this a bit a little while ago, but didn't let anybody know. :p Take a look if you wish
02:05.36AeoWell, the information you *need* is free. But anyways, I'd be more than willing to walk you through making a character.
02:05.49DrodoEmpireI elaborated a lot on Drodo family on IRC but only then did I write it down well
02:06.05OfficerJackalYeah, I'm gonna need help with this. XD
02:06.07DrodoEmpire(That's addressed to just anyone btw)
02:06.53DrodoEmpireI tried getting into Roleplaying Games several times in the past, couldn't ever get into it I'm afraid
02:07.06DrodoEmpireNot sure exactly why
02:07.41AeoWell, help shall come, here in a minute if you'd like, or later.
02:08.33OfficerJackalWhenever you want. XD Although, are you available for a Skype call at the moment, that would ease things a bit.
02:09.53AeoAs for writing on the wiki again... if I ever did, I'd have to reboot the characters to make them more interesting and three-dimensional. The concept of the Aeoneonatrix has potential, but needs more of a human core to ground the moral dilemmas they represent. As of now, they're more like a thought experiment in a philosophy textbook than a story.
02:11.07AeoI am online on skype, though I plan to multi-task this and schoolwork, so text would be easier for me. Here via PMs or on skype, your choice.
02:11.55OfficerJackalHmm, I guess PMs on here would be better then, not really a fan of Skype's text chat.
02:16.24DrodoEmpireAeo: Ahh, I see

02:38.20AKtheKing_So, I attempted to open Spore with the Galactic Adventures add-on, and the opening "cinematic" even says it's Spore: Galactic Adventures, but when it loads, it loads as if it's normal, vanilla Spore.
02:38.26AKtheKing_Can anyone help haha?
02:39.14DrodoEmpireOh sorry
02:39.47DrodoEmpireWell does it give you the options for GA (GA item on the menu bar, etc)?
02:40.07AKtheKingNope. That's the weird part
02:40.10DrodoEmpireIf not, then you're probably opening vanilla spore. You need to run GA itself
02:40.15DrodoEmpireLike not the Spore .exe fire
02:40.18DrodoEmpire*file
02:40.22DrodoEmpireGalactic Adventures one
02:40.31AKtheKingI haven't opened the game in like a year, so I could be doing something wrong
02:41.04AKtheKingWell, that's the thing. I'm opening Spore Galactic Adventures, and it even tells me that with the logo during the opening explosion thing
02:41.14AKtheKingand then it turns into normal Spore, without any GA options
02:41.22DrodoEmpireHuh...
02:41.25DrodoEmpireThat's really weird
02:41.35AKtheKingYeahhh
02:41.36DrodoEmpireI'd un and re install it
02:41.39AKtheKingOh well XD
02:41.49AKtheKingYeah, I'll probably end up having to do that
02:41.56AKtheKingShoot haha
02:42.53DrodoEmpireYeah I guess
02:42.58DrodoEmpireSpore has a history of glitches
02:43.06DrodoEmpireEspecially gamebreaking ones of this nature
02:43.17DrodoEmpireA fresh install works usually
02:46.50AKtheKingYou know that feeling when you look back at something you made when you were younger, something you were proud of, and you realize it really wasn't that great?
02:46.58AKtheKingI'm having that right now haha
02:47.09DrodoEmpireYeah I get that a lot
02:47.16DrodoEmpireMy early fiction, for one. XD

02:47.56AKtheKingYeah XD
02:48.14AKtheKingI made a nation on Sporewiki a year or two ago, and I'm rereading it
02:48.34AKtheKingIt's not bad, per se. I would just do a lot of it differently.
02:48.51DrodoEmpireAhh

02:50.11AKtheKingIs there still a fantasy-type world?
02:50.21AKtheKingI'm blanking on the name
02:51.37Comrade_VinnyWormy_Away drom technobliterator The_Randomness Aeo Any of you got a minute or two for a little page related problem?
02:51.58The_RandomnessWhat's the issue? Not sure if I'll be able to help, but I'll try
02:52.49Comrade_VinnyI added a floating message text on my empire's page a while ago, and now the wikia search bar keeps covering it
02:52.56Comrade_Vinnyhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Algolurn_Popular_Republic
02:53.10Comrade_VinnyThe text in yellow in red at the top left corner
02:53.26Comrade_VinnyIs there any way to lower the text s it isn't covered?
02:53.34The_RandomnessI'm not seeing any issues
02:54.12Comrade_VinnyI can't see it. FOr some reason the wikia search bar covers it
02:54.17The_RandomnessLet me see how it looks in Chrome
02:54.23Comrade_VinnyI can do a screenshot if necessary
02:54.53The_Randomnessoh
02:54.55The_RandomnessI see it now
02:55.11Comrade_VinnyIs there any way to prevent that?
02:55.14The_RandomnessLet me mess around with my settings
02:56.09The_RandomnessYeah, I have no idea how to fix it :/
02:58.01Comrade_VinnyCould I post something in the Discussion board to ask help for it?
02:58.39The_RandomnessIf you wanted to, sure. I think it might be faster to just catch Techno or drom when they're on
02:59.15Comrade_VinnyI will give it a try :)
03:06.42Wormy_awayI'll have a quick look
03:07.28Wormy_awayI think I can see the problem
03:09.27Wormy_awayI'll let you adjust it to how you want http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Algolurn_Popular_Republic, all I did was change the number of pixels from the top which it will display
03:10.45Wormy_awayComrade_Vinny:  Some CSS knowledge goes a long way http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_boxmodel.asp
03:10.51Comrade_VinnyWormy_Away http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/File:Problemscreenshot.png Screenshot if you wanna see it :)
03:11.30Comrade_VinnySorry, I mostly learned to code in wikia when I wrote articles for a minecraft mod's wiki
03:11.31Wormy_awayIt's fixed in my browser
03:11.49Comrade_VinnyI never learned any coding proper
03:12.22Comrade_VinnyIt is , but now it's kinda in the middle of the screen for me... -.-
03:12.46Comrade_VinnyIn worst case, is it possible to change it's position on the screen?
03:12.54Wormy_awayYou will need to play around with the number of pixels in "top: 100px;", but I don't know how you want it
03:13.16Comrade_VinnyLike, moving it to the lower left/right side...
03:13.18Comrade_VinnyI will try
03:13.22Wormy_awayYes, you can control how far left you want it too
03:13.33Wormy_awayAnd also the size of the padding
03:14.30Wormy_awayThe left (and top values) before were 0
03:14.30Comrade_Vinny<div style="position: fixed; top: 100px; left: 0px; padding: 3px; background: black; border: 1px solid red; color:yellow; z-index:2"><b>''Chairman Vostok wishes you welcome in the people's republic!''</b></div>
03:14.51Comrade_VinnyIf i change top: for bottom: would it place it a the bottom of the screen?
03:15.21Wormy_awayIt might do, otherwise you could just add really high values to push it down.
03:15.37DrodoEmpirePut it in the bottom corner like I did
03:15.46DrodoEmpireCopy the coding on my Drodo page
03:15.58Wormy_away^ always the best solution
03:16.03DrodoEmpireHope that helps
03:16.17Wormy_awayLook at my DCP box too, I put mine on the right and also changed the padding
03:17.03Comrade_VinnyYah, copying other pages' code pieces and retrofitting them is usually how I work around :p
03:17.21Comrade_VinnyBut it did work to change to bottom:.
03:17.32Comrade_Vinnyhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Algolurn_Popular_Republic
03:17.52Comrade_VinnyWould it look better on the right or the left?
03:22.19Aeotest
03:23.40DrodoEmpiretest
03:23.45DrodoEmpireayy still here
03:28.05DrodoEmpirehttp://www.militaryheritage.com/images/8thhussars.jpg - Early canadian uniforms were the *best*.
03:28.22DrodoEmpireAlso: Another bit of reference material for Drodo military sketches. :p
03:28.44AKtheKingdat hat
03:28.56DrodoEmpireI *love* 19th century uniforms
03:29.09DrodoEmpireThat'd be pretty close to some Drodo guard cav regiments really
03:29.30DrodoEmpireMost elite ones have a reputation for wearing extremely flamboyant uniforms straight into battle as a matter of rpide
03:29.31DrodoEmpire*pride
03:32.06AKtheKingThat's interesting. Does it affect their performance in battle on a drastic scale?
03:32.37DrodoEmpireNot really. These uniforms were not as impractical as they look
03:32.52DrodoEmpireEspecially when combined with more modern materials they'd be yet lighter
03:33.23DrodoEmpireIn addition, most Drodo horse cavalry regiments have no interest in hiding; They're cavalry, they charge and do formation maneuvers
03:34.03Comrade_VinnyWell, the only thing I'm questionning  is the would the silly hat not be a bit annoying is it's windy...
03:34.11Comrade_Vinny*if
03:34.21DrodoEmpireI don't find it silly, quite cool actually. :p
03:34.33DrodoEmpireAnyway, historically poorly-fastened bearskins did often get lost
03:34.49DrodoEmpireWell fastened they would be fine and actually helped in reduced head wounds
03:34.50AKtheKingAre the cavalry regiments still used in battle? Or are they more of a symbol/tradition thing?
03:34.53DrodoEmpire*reduicing
03:34.56DrodoEmpire*reducing
03:35.00DrodoEmpireDrodo use them in active duty.
03:35.11AKtheKingand they ride horses?
03:35.12DrodoEmpireTheir cavalry are technologically advanced however
03:35.30DrodoEmpireYes, mechanical ones capable of going over a hundred kph however
03:35.35DrodoEmpirePlus modern weaponry
03:35.36Comrade_VinnyOther than that, I don't see any problem with shiny uniforms
03:36.00DrodoEmpirePlus energy shielding that blocks projectiles, energy bolts, small bombs, etc.
03:36.19Comrade_VinnyBut do you ride robot horse or somekind of motorbike?
03:36.28DrodoEmpireYes. I said before a mechanical horse
03:36.42AKtheKingDo they wield melee weapons?
03:36.46DrodoEmpireBikes are shit mounts for anything other than mounted riflemen
03:36.58DrodoEmpireMeans they can actually charge headon into automatic fire and most or almost all will survive
03:37.17Comrade_VinnyAre they really based off horses or an animal similar to it but native to the Drodo?
03:37.26DrodoEmpireYes, all units carry sabres along with a carbine and sidearm(s)
03:37.32DrodoEmpirePlus specialized weapons
03:37.59DrodoEmpireSuch as heavier swords, curved sabres, power-lances capable of penetrating heavy tank armour, antitank guns, etc.
03:38.14DrodoEmpireA Drodo animal very similar to the terran horse
03:38.45DrodoEmpireBut yes all cavalry units carry at least a universal-pattern sword
03:39.01AKtheKingInteresting
03:39.05AKtheKingand badass XD
03:39.08DrodoEmpireThanks. XD
03:39.21DrodoEmpireI went full rule of cool with them but managed to make them work
03:39.33DrodoEmpireThey'd be especially useful for colonial/antiinsurrection warfare
03:39.39DrodoEmpireAlongside pitched battle
03:39.41DrodoEmpire*s
03:40.13DrodoEmpireThey're cheap, maneuverable, versitile, and able to send almost any soldier but especially militiamen running from a charge
03:41.03DrodoEmpireNot too hard to corral a bunch of irregulars into a nice field or forest with a few cavalry maneuvers and then bomb the living hell out of said field/forest with artillery. :p
03:42.43AKtheKingHow would one go about joining the fantasy universe?
03:42.53DrodoEmpireAsk Oluap or Hachi about it I'd say
03:44.35AKtheKingDo they get on this very often?
03:44.48DrodoEmpireEvery day for at least a few hours
03:44.58DrodoEmpireNot hard to get into contact with them
03:45.10DrodoEmpireIf that fails, you can always contact them on their message wall
03:46.11AKtheKingall righty, thanks!
03:46.21DrodoEmpireNo problem!
03:46.24AKtheKingdo you have a civilization in that universe?
03:46.29DrodoEmpireYes.
03:46.33DrodoEmpireThe City State of Halifaxia
03:46.49DrodoEmpireIts going to start its first big fiction in a few days actually
03:47.02DrodoEmpirehttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction%3AHalifaxia
03:48.35DrodoEmpireNeeds an update here or there still
03:49.26AKtheKingHmm, I like the idea of an elective monarchy. That's interesting!
03:50.22DrodoEmpireThanks!
03:50.25AKtheKingIs there a set of rules of some sort for the Source?
03:50.32DrodoEmpireBased it a little off of Poland-Lithuania/Venice
03:50.39DrodoEmpireI wouldn't be the guy to ask
03:51.37AKtheKingGotcha
03:51.55AKtheKingIf I were to create a society that had a ruling, aristocratic-type class of Sources-users, do you think that would fit in with the world?
03:52.03AKtheKing*Source-users
03:53.22DrodoEmpireOh probably
03:53.26DrodoEmpireAgain, not the one to ask
03:53.32DrodoEmpireIts a great idea though
03:53.57AKtheKingWell thanks haha

04:15.05AKtheKing*created
04:15.40DrodoEmpireYeah
04:19.26AKtheKingIs the stretch of water that separates the eastern and western continent supposed to be a river?
04:19.48DrodoEmpireI presume it is an enormous river yes
04:20.00AKtheKingbut where's its source?
04:20.03DrodoEmpireAlmost more of a sea
04:20.09DrodoEmpireEh true
04:20.29DrodoEmpireTHen more of a very slim sea, sort of like the red sea
04:20.35AKtheKingA very long strait haha
04:20.38DrodoEmpire^
04:20.45DrodoEmpireAn enormous strait
04:20.56AKtheKinginteresting
04:21.02AKtheKingprobably invaluable for trade
04:21.15DrodoEmpire^
04:21.17DrodoEmpireDefinitely
04:22.02AKtheKingI'll probably put my little civilization on it, if I can choose.
04:22.12AKtheKingHow often to fictions interact?
04:22.15AKtheKing*do
04:25.37DrodoEmpireAll the time if you wish
04:27.56Comrade_VinnyGood ight!
04:27.59Comrade_Vinny*n
04:29.13AKtheKinggood night!
04:31.06AKtheKingI know exactly where I'd want to put my civilization.
04:31.18DrodoEmpireOh?
04:31.28DrodoEmpireKeep in mind climate and actual geography
04:31.39AKtheKinghttp://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/b/b0/NewKoldenweltTestMap.png/revision/latest?cb=20131206210841
04:31.53DrodoEmpireIf you're an agricultural people, you'll want somewhere warm and by a river for example
04:32.35AKtheKingSo, in my mind, it would be on the river/strait sea, closer to the south end, on the tiny peninsula next to the tiny bay

04:32.46AKtheKingI'm realizing that is not helpful XD
04:33.15AKtheKingbut I'm not sure how to explain it haha
04:33.20DrodoEmpireIts fine. XD
04:34.58AKtheKingThe reason I choose it is that it would give them ample access to trade, and some mountainous barriers to protect them from land
04:35.06DrodoEmpireThat's a good idea
04:35.34AKtheKingThe land, based entirely on how greet it is on the map, looks fertile
04:35.52AKtheKingand maybe mountain runoff fertilizes the land?
04:36.03AKtheKingI'm not well versed in that area of geography.
04:36.24Charles_BotHey Aeo
04:36.34Aeohey
04:36.36DrodoEmpireAK: Could
04:36.51DrodoEmpireThe mountains would at least be extremely mineral-rich
04:37.35AKtheKingThat too.
04:38.01AKtheKingThey would theoretically have access to trade, crops, and mineral resources
04:38.48AKtheKingWhile having a protective barrier behind them
04:39.07AKtheKingis there any form of scale on any Koldenwelt map?
04:39.07DrodoEmpire^
04:39.16DrodoEmpireDon't think
04:39.17AKtheKingAny way to compare distances with real life?
04:39.20AKtheKingdarn
04:39.31DrodoEmpireYou could guesstimate scales using the known measurements of landmarks
04:39.39DrodoEmpireBut that's about it
04:39.44DrodoEmpireIt'd benefit greatly from a scale
04:40.05AKtheKingI agree
04:40.21AKtheKingThere must be some form of scale, as the article lists the surface area of the continents
04:41.34DrodoEmpireNone I know of
04:41.37DrodoEmpireWish I could help
04:41.38DrodoEmpire:L
04:42.15AKtheKingIt's no problem at all haha. You're being very helpful!
04:42.32AKtheKingSorry, I have a lot of questions XD
04:42.59DrodoEmpireNo its good to ask
04:43.05DrodoEmpireAnyway I gotta go

14:49.34GhelaeThat depends on why they can't normally eat meat. If it's simply a strong revulsion, you could disguise its appearance and flavour. That should work well for meat that's chopped up and put in a sauce, particularly something spicy like curry.

14:56.59GhelaeI think meat-eating in ungulates has been recorded in other situations too.
14:57.42GhelaeSo for them I guess it's more like the revulsion option: they can digest meat, but they have no instinct to (and often dead meat would signify predators nearby, so it's something to avoid).

14:57.52Wormy_Yeah
14:58.02Wormy_They probably cannot survive very well on it
14:58.15dromGhelae: I think this discussion has brought me some light on the Nomatarid diet, they are strictly carnivores where only less than 4% of their diet is composed by anything else than meat.
14:58.58GhelaeSo for them, eating vegetables is something they dislike.
14:59.00dromThe said 96% is all kind of products found in animals
14:59.18dromYeah, it is only for health and flavouring
14:59.31Wormy_Some vegetarians think that by not eating meat, their body produces less meat-digesting enzymes, but I think it is probably a myth.

14:59.54Wormy_The idea that eating a steak would give them digestive issues
15:00.36GhelaeIt's not implausible, but I don't think it's likely that such a feedback mechanism exists.
15:01.28GhelaeAs a hunter-gatherer in bad times when you don't know where your next meal is coming from, it's bad for your stomach to stop being able to digest meat just because your tribe's not managed to kill anything recently.

15:03.37Wormy__The question is whether the body would know how to digest meat straight way, or gets better at it through diet.  Peoplew I've met either fall strongly in either camp.
15:05.10dromThough I've thinking that I could replace a portion of the Nomatarid diet with edible synethic meat, since it is cheaper, faster and easier to produce. Becoming specialists in producing both synethic and real animal products.
15:05.22Wormy__I would think that once the body has digested meat, it will always know how to, but it is not implausible it can get better at it, or worse.  Maybe over generations rather than individuals does this effect take place

15:18.21Wormy__Ghelae:  It is arguable that we still have a lot to learn about the grammar of genes.  In this complexity book I'm reading, there is a lot of context that is important in the development of organisms.
15:18.45Wormy__Especially with phenotypes
15:19.41GhelaeEpigenetics is one area where we don't know nearly enough, she explained.
15:20.04Wormy__I think that's also the study of morphogenesis
15:20.28GhelaeThe real principle is that, if we did find out how any particular thing worked, we could manipulate it with modern technology.
15:21.33GhelaeCompletely the opposite as in sci-fi physical technologies, where we may know the principles behind starship construction but we're nowhere near the stage where you can build one in your own garden.
15:22.25GhelaeWhile - legality notwithstanding - you could make yourself some genetically-engineered pets in your kitchen.
15:23.56AGrayCatHow does 23,000,000 million Chostvan Grox sound?
15:24.00Wormy__I think the energy / time / information pyramid is a good way to think about what is achievable.  We may in principle know the physics, but not have enough time or energy.

15:43.52dromCharles_Murray: I gotta admit that I took too much pride in saying that Sovereignty are invisible from hyperspace due to their lack of hyperspatial popullation, "hyperspace signature". But granted, you can still easily find them due to their elevated EM signatures.
15:44.01Wormy__DCP use tachyon drives and the interstellar grid, not hypermatter to power ships (wormhole strapped to a star threaded with the starship)
15:44.03dromI was thinking of your hyperspace submarine, remember?
15:45.40Wormy__DCP's signature would be gravitational (and I assume repulsive gravitational waves exist as well, since the wormhole mouths will use exotic matter)
15:45.52dromI have been looking for a sublight warp technology lately, basically a drive that creates a bubble that lets the vessels to glide through realspace at sublight speeds without any inerita.
15:46.33Charles_Murraydrom : Cool; Being unable to be detected in hyperspace is a special property in my fiction which comes with many drawbacks. Early silent gravitodynamic drives would be very very slow. You're also force to "emerge" every few hours in order to vent hypermatter buildup.
15:46.50Wormy__But then visualisation of tachyons to relativistic or newtonian observers is weird.  I'm not sure sure what DCP vehicles would look like
15:47.44Wormy__It would be something like the explanation here, beneath the first gif https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon
15:47.57Ghelaedrom: Warp drives can certainly work at sublight speeds. In real life they're more plausible than FTL ones.
15:48.27GhelaeThere's no real difference between the technologies; FTL warp bubbles are just... more warped.
15:49.02dromGhelae Wormy__ Charles_Murray: See https://youtu.be/r1i_4ELmKD4?t=36m11s
15:49.33Wormy__I forget that mass increases for taychonic "accelerations", so yeah DCP ships would have huge grav signatures, but only visible after they have left your light cone (I think)
15:49.37dromJust few teens of seconds until they will start mentioning about NAGGAROK's locomotive technology
15:49.53Charles_Murraydrom : These properties make for a quasi-invisible ship (which can be detected at short range just because it occupies space), but would be rigidly impractical on every ship in the fleet.
15:51.02dromAnd later into the video, you'll eventually notice how incredibly fast NAGGAROK glides through realspace.

15:55.52dromI wonder how can one detect warp bubbles? Spacetime distortions to the outside observer?
15:56.00GhelaeSpacetime distortions, yes.
15:56.01Wormy__Gravitational waves I guess
15:56.13dromI see.
15:56.26GhelaeNot exactly gravitational waves. Maybe when the warp bubble is switched on or off, but not in transit.
15:56.32Wormy__Is there a difference if the gravity is positive or negative?
15:56.51GhelaeNo.
15:57.06GhelaeJust like there's no difference between photons produced by positive charges and those produced by negative charges.
15:57.16Wormy__Yeah
15:57.25Wormy__Makes sense
15:57.33GhelaeIt might mean you can have negative-energy gravitational waves.
15:57.56Wormy__I'm surprised nobody other than me has weaponised warp bubbles :P
15:57.59dromI guess I'll be including both sublight drives, sublight warp drives, far-jump drives, hyperdrives, that should be enough to grant my ships a wide range of versatility.
15:58.43Wormy__If my theory about collision with the outside of one is correct
15:58.52GhelaeBut negative-energy gravitational waves might mean that gravitational radiation never actually happens. If the probability of emitting a positive-energy wave is close to that of emitting a negative-energy wave, on average they'll cancel out.
15:59.12Wormy__Although the original idea is that the warp bubble encloses a region with different constants
15:59.15GhelaeWormy__: What do you think happens with collisions?
15:59.45dromCharles_Murray: NS - Ya all frogs are just making hyperspatial invisiblity harder to accomplish!

16:00.53ImpyDroidGhelae: Did you answer my question BTW?
16:00.56ImpyDroidHi Pand
16:00.58AdmiralPandahi all
16:01.02GhelaeHello.
16:01.02Charles_MurrayAre you joking? I'm not sure I can tell
16:01.04OluapPlayerHello
16:01.11GhelaeImpyDroid: I'll copy the answers down for you. Again. :P
16:01.23Ghelae[14:53] <@Ghelae> That depends on why they can't normally eat meat. If it's simply a strong revulsion, you could disguise its appearance and flavour. That should work well for meat that's chopped up and put in a sauce, particularly something spicy like curry.
16:01.29Ghelae[14:53] <@Ghelae> If they're incapable of digesting meat then it becomes more tricky. That's going to be a problem of the enzymes that they have in their stomachs.
16:01.36Ghelae[14:53] <@Ghelae> Microscopic droplets of protease-filled acid, with the shells designed to burst in the stomach (and not beforehand), could be mixed in with the food.
16:01.45dromCharles_Murray: Both
16:02.05ImpyDroidIt's more of the second than the first I guess
16:02.07GhelaeAnd then we discussed how some ungulates have been known to eat meat at times, so for them meat doesn't seem to be too indigestible, just unappetising.
16:02.09AGrayCat[16:00] <ImpyDroid> Hi Pand [16:00] <AdmiralPanda> hi all [16:01] <@Ghelae> Hello. [16:01] <Charles_Murray> Are you joking? I'm not sure I can tell [16:01] <@OluapPlayer> Hello
16:02.11AGrayCatoo
16:02.39ImpyDroidThe basic idea was Cyrannian Radeons eating more meat than other Radeons because of Libertus influence
16:02.57GhelaeAnd gut flora not liking substances in meat is another possible factor. So something to modify that could help if necessary.
16:04.10GhelaeSo in short, you could avoid going into biochemical details by saying that they take supplements that help them digest meat better.
16:05.15GhelaeIt doesn't even need to be something that can be seen or tasted, so as far as appearances are concerned the food is normal.
16:07.04Wormy__I imagine the outside of the warp bubble has positive energy & momentum, inside has negative values.  So if you was suddenley hit by a warping starship, while the ship (which isn't moving) much will not transfer much momentum, the positive mass component on the outside of the warp bubble will
16:08.28Wormy__Maybe like the shatter bomb in OA, causing spacetime to expand and contract, disintegrating matter.
16:08.30GhelaeThis becomes problematic if you're supposing that, even in principle (if stability problems affect things), warp bubbles can travel faster than light. Then what's the momentum of matter on surface of the bubble then?
16:09.58GhelaeAlthough that problem might still exist with OA bubbles. IIRC the way they work is that matter inside the bubble gains negative momentum while the ship - attached to the outside of the warp bubble - gains positive momentum.
16:10.44GhelaeThat might require the ship to be there, though, which isn't going to be possible if the bubble shoots off at FTL anyway.
16:10.56OluapPlayerImpyDroid: I don't know if you noticed but I made the Aynach king and added him to the Empire page
16:11.10ImpyDroidNot yet, lemme see
16:11.24Wormy__Yeah
16:11.28GhelaeThe main flaw is that a warp bubble doesn't necessarily need any matter on the outside. But if there is, then yes, that matter will have momentum in its direction of motion.
16:11.28OluapPlayerhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction%3AEmpire_of_Man#Table_of_Governors
16:11.33OluapPlayerTell me if it works
16:11.49Wormy__It almost made me wonder that the warp bubble shoots off and drags anything behind in it's wake
16:12.23GhelaeIf not, a region of highly-warped spacetime hitting a spaceship could well do some damage to said spaceship's ability to remain intact anyway.
16:13.08GhelaeThe warp bubble would shoot off if it accelerated too fast for the matter to stay attached to it. But you don't want to be in a ship accelerating that quickly anyway.
16:14.05GhelaeYou know, being turned to red pulp against the floor and all that.
16:14.29Wormy__lol
16:15.10AdmiralPandawould you be pulped against the floor or the wall though?
16:15.58GhelaeDepends on the orientation. If you don't have artificial gravity (and often even if you have) then having the floor opposite the direction of acceleration is the best design plan.
16:16.00Wormy__Maybe it would like the Philadelphia experiment conspiracy, the crew's atoms would merge with the floor beneath forming molten re-mineralised surface called crewanium
16:16.32GhelaeBecause when the ship accelerates, whatever surface is at the back end becomes the floor anyway.
16:17.29GhelaeIf you do have artificial gravity then the same tech should be workable to counteract the acceleration and you can have walls and floors wherever you like.
16:17.50Wormy__I like this idea now.  Perhaps it was the fate of the first Grimbolsaurian warp pilot
16:17.56GhelaeIt's all carefully arranged really-really-heavy positive and negative masses really.
16:18.42GhelaePositive masses provide the gravity; negative masses shield against gravity (make it like a faraday cage) and stop the ship from being stupidly heavy.
16:20.34Wormy__As much as I love this discussion, I have to go

17:06.21HachimanWhat we talking bout?
17:06.29AdmiralPanda[02:53] <AdmiralPanda> to all the people who have human factions, I have a question for you: how would your people react to the discovery of a machine designed to look, act, think and feel human to the point that without practically cutting them open and looking, you couldn't tell they weren't human?
17:06.49AdmiralPandaTekDroid: in a way yeah
17:06.51HachimanThat's probably a thing that is commonplace in human nations
17:07.37HachimanMy interpretation of Space Japan has AI rights practically synonymous with human rights
17:07.44Wormy_awayAdmiralPanda:  If it is a true AGI, and capable of thinking like humans, then I would class it as a human, or in more general, a "Universal person"
17:07.49HachimanI almost typed Space Jam for a moment
17:09.09Wormy_awayIt's thoughts under your definition after-all occupy the same space of all possible human thoughts, feelings and intuitions.  Then why possibly can it not be human?  "It's in the motion, not the matter", as Daniel Dennett and Douglas Hoftstadter say
17:10.20Wormy_awayOf course, it may be a non-human universal person pretending to be human, but that wouldn't make a world of difference in the philosophy of mind many AGI thinkers are working with
17:10.46Wormy_awayThat would only prove it is capable of creativity, and so on.
17:12.09AdmiralPandawell that is what I'm getting at, said machines being where you would expect a person to be, doesn't matter either way since the general consensus is "makes no difference" and so the idea I had is irrelevant
17:13.04Wormy_awayYou'd be surprised how many modern thinkers would oppose this view, often with flawed thought experiments.
17:13.31Wormy_awayAnd probably based on some subjective feeling or belief they have
17:14.38Wormy_awayJohn Searle laughs off the idea of comoutational universality cheaply, point that beer cans interacting in the right order could simulate thought.  Of course, that denies the universality of computation
17:15.05Wormy_awayIt's provable that you can build a computer out of billiard balls and a pool table with the right logic
17:16.15Wormy_away*provable
17:16.22Wormy_awayOh I did spell it right
17:16.33Wormy_awayAGI would make mistakes too
17:16.47Wormy_awayI'm very doubtful of the singularity
17:16.59Wormy_awaycreating unflawed superintelligences
17:22.35AdmiralPandaI still find it entertaining to no end that the fictionverse has become so sci-fi that it long since passed the kind of sci-fi I tend to like
17:22.43Hachimanhur
17:23.03HachimanLower-tier fiction works more towards that
17:23.18HachimanWhere ideas are still controversial and revolutionary
17:23.24AdmiralPandaof which there are hardly any :P
17:24.04Wormy_awaySporeWikiverse is like a series of ponds, you can sit in what you like.
17:24.20Wormy_awayAnd maybe wave your hand in another time to time.
17:24.44HachimanWhy would you sit in a pond
17:24.45AdmiralPandaWormy: The problem is the kinds of ponds I tend to like are in another marsh :P
17:24.47HachimanYour ass would get wet
17:25.35Wormy_awayI see
17:26.27dromWormy_away: Perhaps the best analogue of Sporewikiverse I've seen in a while.
17:26.41AdmiralPandait is absolutely fair to say that the wiki is a diverse place with plenty of potential for stories, but at the same time it's also fair to say that by far the vast majority- and the vocal majority at that, is potential I either can't or don't want to work with, thus the problem
17:26.55Wormy_awayI think it is good idea for everyone to explore other ponds, as I am doing in GXS.
17:27.06Wormy_awayIt is not my usual style of fiction
17:28.02Wormy_awayBut i don't think a cohesive structure of rules or central theme can be constructed for everyone.  Like there is in OA
17:28.09Wormy_away*Orion's Arm
17:28.26AdmiralPandait can't, and I don't expect one to exist
17:29.42dromYou can build a world to your likning, but the problem is that it fits up to others' likning
17:29.54AdmiralPandathe problem that always comes around to bite me is that I rapidly lose interest the moment the scope goes beyond a small cast of characters, and that even when I do get into a story that I actually want to be a part of, it either flops entirely or I can't actually participate because timezones or Xho forgetting I exist
17:29.54dromif it*
17:30.34AdmiralPandathat last phrase was probably just a little too saline but hey, it happened three times so I have a right to be :P
17:31.07Wormy_awayWhat I was saying was regarding what some people have envisioned in the past.
17:31.36Wormy_awayYeah I can see how that brings some comparability issues = I like to get as many people involved as possible in my fiction
17:31.58Wormy_away*compatibility
17:32.55Wormy_awayThe problem I face, is that either people don't always get long, or it only boils down to a couple of fictions playing a major role

20:09.05ImperiosHi
20:19.04ImperiosOluapPlayer: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/a/a0/Diederich_Nobleflame.png/revision/latest?cb=20151121221012 Holy shit that beard
20:19.08Imperios"I WANNA BE A DWARF"
20:19.25OluapPlayerYou talk as if men can't have big bears
20:19.28OluapPlayerbeards even
20:21.21ImperiosI am not saying his beard looks bad
20:21.30HachimanI suppose it kinda makes some sense
20:21.45HachimanDwarves and Aynachians share a connection to the Eastern Plains
20:21.50AGrayCatAny stories I should read?
20:21.53OluapPlayerI'm not saying you're saying it's bad dur
20:22.04HachimanAGrayCat: Sci-fi or fantasy?
20:22.08OluapPlayerAnd no, that's dumb
20:22.09AGrayCatSci-fi.
20:22.13AGrayCatessential storeis
20:22.15AGrayCatstories
20:22.18OluapPlayerHe has a beard because he's a 63 old guy
20:22.24OluapPlayer63 year old even
20:22.53HachimanI was just saying that it could be a fashion thing borrowed from the Dweorg; not all old people have Santa-style beards hur
20:23.08ImperiosAdmittedly
20:23.15ImperiosCrusaders were forbiddent to shave
20:23.25HachimanThat also makes sense
20:24.06AdmiralPandaCrusaders were forbidden to shave because jesus
20:24.19AdmiralPandawell, not Jesus specifically, but it did have its roots in religion
20:24.37ImperiosAnd who says Isiris's depictions in Aynach culture lack beards hur
20:24.48ImperiosAynachians are a fairly religious people after all
20:24.50HachimanIsiris' depiction in Aynach is the sun
20:24.55OluapPlayerAn eye with a beard would be somewhat freaky
20:25.04HachimanAdmiralPanda: I assume this is a different reasoning to the reason Muslims do not shave?
20:25.13ImperiosI think it's similar
20:25.19AdmiralPandasame basic reason actually
20:25.19HachimanOr is it Sikhs that refuse to shave

20:26.18OluapPlayerrite that works
20:26.18Hachimaninb4 Panda starts squirting from New Vegas mention
20:26.19ImperiosSo anyway him having a huge beard could be a reigious thing
20:26.28AdmiralPandathen you have Old Lady Gibson at the scrapyard north of Novac
20:26.33OluapPlayerHe has a beard because he's old
20:26.46ImperiosHim not shaving his huge beard
20:26.47OluapPlayerI don't know what's so difficult to grasp about an old guy having a beard

20:32.51HachimanThere aren't
20:32.55AGrayCatmhm

20:33.31HachimanSeconnd Borealis Galactic War, Andromeda War, Ice Cube, Da Ice Cube Trials, etc
20:33.38HachimanIce Age even
20:34.00GhelaeSome stories are useful to know for a particular part of the universe, but generally you can get a good idea of history (even recent history) just by reading articles. Which is why no stories are essential.
20:34.30AdmiralPandaDrodoEmpire: Cat was asking if there were essential stories he should read
20:34.34OluapPlayerOh fuck off
20:34.40DrodoEmpireAhh
20:34.42OluapPlayerRight after I'm done selling and buying shit
20:34.43OluapPlayerCrash
20:34.47HachimanOuch
20:34.49OluapPlayerGonna have to do it all over again
20:34.53GhelaeThe Annihilation is the only really universe-wide story that's important to understand, and that can be summed as "nearly everyone in the universe dies, but almost none of them are major characters or belong to major empires".
20:35.28AdmiralPandaOluapPlayer: Have you met Cass yet?
20:35.30GhelaeThe War of Ages would also be useful if we'd finished rewriting it, rather than only having just started rewriting it. But you can read it anyway if you like.
20:35.37OluapPlayerAges ago
20:35.49AdmiralPandaon a scale of 1 to waifu, how much is she your fallout waifu?
20:35.55OluapPlayer1
20:36.03OluapPlayerShe made me screw up my relations with the NCR
20:36.04AdmiralPandayou have clearly not spent enough time talking to her
20:36.12AGrayCateh
20:36.13AGrayCateh?
20:36.19AdmiralPandaso you shot the people instead of getting the evidence?
20:36.47OluapPlayerI couldn't find the evidence, so yes
20:36.57AdmiralPandathen you screwed up your relationship with the NCR :P
20:37.14OluapPlayerShe did it, since she was so eager to shoot Whatsherface
20:37.41AGrayCateh?
20:38.29OluapPlayerThat led all of Crimson Company to gang up on me, a lot of people died and I ended up being known as "Merciful Thug"
20:39.13AdmiralPandabecause you didn't send Cass home and employ our lord and saviour the stealth boy and wait button :P
20:39.49OluapPlayerI did use a Stealth Boy to do it, but apparently a guy got inside the building just as I blew her head off
20:40.02OluapPlayerThen in the midst of gunfire I accidentally quicksaved
20:40.46OluapPlayerIt made me upset because I had to blow Ringo's head off too
20:40.46AdmiralPandawhat I mean is, the evidence is in an otherwise unwatched safe in the Van Graff's building (the door is watched hence the stealth boy) and a safe that is unwatched at night in the crimson caravan company
20:41.10OluapPlayerActually I had killed the Van Graff even before getting her quest
20:41.17OluapPlayerVan Graffs even
20:41.42OluapPlayerTrying to talk to anyone in there led me to being attacked by 4 guards at once, so I got annoyed and just killed everyone
20:42.03OluapPlayerApparently everyone hated them so I doubt it's a problem
20:42.21AdmiralPandaso you didn't wait for Gloria to finish her business meeting like the thugs asked you to, basically
20:42.46OluapPlayerI did, she and the other guy just stood there in silence
20:43.06AdmiralPandaeh in that case bug
20:43.15AdmiralPandawas about to say, I was starting to see a pattern emerge :P
20:43.19OluapPlayerBug made them ded and all of their ammo into my pockets
20:43.41OluapPlayerWhich has not been used because I hardly use energy weapons
20:44.15AdmiralPandaI hardly use them either, too annoying to find more ammo

21:40.21dromstupid freenode
21:49.45dromI've a question, everyone. What make most sense for a battle between space vessels in space-opera-like sci-fi; realspace or hyperspace?
21:50.57GhelaeTactically speaking, I assume it would be best for any space force to be able to make use of both.
21:52.55GhelaeBut in the SporeWikiverse hyperspace is more hazardous to do battle in, and hypermatter technologies should become increasingly less effective the deeper into hyperspace you go.
21:54.27GhelaeOn the other hand, lowering your shields (and by extension the rest of your ship) into hyperspace means you'll be able to use them to block hyperspace weapons.
21:55.00GhelaeIn that sense, all weapons fired in hyperspace are hyperspace weapons.
21:55.13dromI noticed
21:56.29GhelaeSo, although decision-making will be more complicated than this, a rough guide could be: if your enemy has hyperspace weapons and relies on hypermatter power, go into hyperspace. If not, realspace is safer.
21:57.18GhelaeWhich has the irony of "if your enemy has really advanced technology and you don't, go to the place that requires advanced technology to navigate".
21:59.17dromYeah, I've started a development that the Nomatari Sovereignty would emphaize this irony
22:01.04GhelaeIt's worth noting that if your enemy has hyperspace weapons (in the sense of weapons that can also exit hyperspace after being fired) and you don't, then going into hyperspace while they stay in realspace just allows them to hit you but not you to hit them.
22:02.42GhelaeBeing in hyperspace does make you more difficult to target, but unless you threaten to suicidally leave hyperspace inside their own ships, you need to find some other good reason to make sure they join you in hyperspace.
22:03.59GhelaeIf you outnumber them and don't mind getting cannon fodder killed, going to where their ships are and then leaving hyperspace could be fairly destructive.
22:04.31GhelaeOr sending your cannon fodder to where the enemy's ships are and then telling said fodder to exit hyperspace, I suppose.
22:05.06dromWell. I could have drone carrier ships

22:05.36GhelaeHello.
22:05.56dromZerg rush the whole field with drones
22:06.36GhelaeYes, that could work. Self-destructing drones would be especially effective. But then you've basically got guided hyperspace missiles.
22:07.32GhelaeSo you don't have to worry about that weapons disadvantage in the first place.
