00:00.37XhoNot quite sure what Kicathian fashion is really
00:00.45XhoKnowing them, minimalistic
00:01.03XhoAnd monochromatic
00:01.12MonetHey, sometimes minimalistic gets in vogue.
00:01.20MonetFashion designers are odd sometimes.
00:01.27XhoAnd their whole augmentation culture probably opens up a different vein of fashion
00:02.03MonetAnd I've come to the ocnclusion that events like Paris and Milan are more like art exhibitions for clothes, since how often does what is seen in Paris end up in Oxford Street?
00:02.09XhoKitalatheraz has prosthetic forearms in which he has ornate Kicathian designs plated on to it
00:02.19XhoNot very often
00:02.45XhoKicathian art...hm
00:03.08Monet"Presenting now: Kitronuvazor's fall range of Kicathian bionic arms"
00:03.22XhoGeometric is probably the best way of explaining
00:04.20Xhohttp://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/abstract-geometric-pattern-interwoven-volumetric-grid-lines-background-art-deco-style-35090710.jpg That's an almost perfect idea
00:04.42XhoAngular and very sharp kind of stuff
00:05.07XhoI'd imagine anything more circular would encompass high-end art
00:06.20XhoThey come from a world where there's very little inspiration from flora
00:06.28Monet"Circles are such elegant haute coture!"
00:06.55Xhohttps://kirakira713.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/geometric-11.jpg That would be quite Kicathian as well
00:07.23DrodoEmpire_Those look quite nice actually
00:07.55MonetTHere is an organisational beauty to them.
00:08.22XhoUpper class art would tend to do things in a more classical nature
00:08.46XhoThe Aknatazán ancestral home has marble-like sculptures
00:09.28XhoVery dark architecture but still
00:09.32DrodoEmpire_Though I imagine a lot of Drodo art may look like this - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/12/RCWoodvilleJr_21Lancers_Omdurman.jpg
00:09.57DrodoEmpire_A lot of Drodo art would focus on real life or real life events in general actually
00:10.35Xhohttp://gmgimports.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Marble-Roma-Black-Close-Up.jpg I imagine that would be the kind of material the Aknatazán household would use
00:10.44XhoCompliments their general black skin colour
00:10.50DrodoEmpire_Looks expensive
00:10.51DrodoEmpire_:p
00:11.04DrodoEmpire_Very nice, but man, expensive
00:11.13XhoThe Aknatazán family is the comparatively richest family in the Kicath race so it does fit them
00:11.17DrodoEmpire_^
00:11.22DrodoEmpire_Fair enough then
00:11.38XhoKithworto doesn't see much of that wealth any more
00:11.40MonetAknatazan - Our guns print money!
00:11.54XhoThat and being a deity and whatnot he doesn't really care for it
00:13.19XhoBut yeah, historically the oldest and richest family in the Kicath race
00:13.39XhoMuchos assets and mucho influence
00:14.04XhoAlso generally identifable due to their silvery-black skin colour
00:14.14DrodoEmpire_thatsracist.gif
00:14.29XhoNot even kidding
00:14.37ImpyDroidKithworto - we wuz verezaph and shiet
00:14.48XhoKithworto and Kitalatheraz are both silver/black
00:14.53ImpyDroidWair
00:15.03ImpyDroid>marble-roma
00:15.07ImpyDroid>Roma
00:15.24MonetIt's like Targaryens and purple eyes.
00:15.24XhoKithworto - pax kithworto or don't
00:15.29XhoPretty much
00:15.41XhoThat and the Aknatazán Kicath have red eyes
00:15.52XhoIt's basically the fact that essence power runs through their family
00:16.04MonetKithworto - Where. Ar. My. DRAGONS...oh wait.
00:16.35ImpyDroidXho: I meant gypsy Roma, not Rome Roma
00:16.47XhoKithworto - i sed                       pax kithworto or don't
00:17.19XhoBut I'll probably get started on that story once I finish Dragon Speaker
00:17.22XhoWhich will be around 2018
00:17.30OluapPlayerfuk u
00:17.35Xhou
00:17.52MonetJust in time for Thanos to come to the silver screen and wrek face.
00:18.04XhoKithworto - not nice
00:18.19ImpyDroidSpeaking of art I need to do some Radeon architecture after my math exam
00:18.59ImpyDroidI wonder if they could use calligraphy in architecture but that would be difficult to make in spire
00:19.20Xhospire akbar
00:19.31XhoRight I need sleep
00:20.03MonetI think properly pulling of genuine tier 2/1 architecture is going to be triky in Spore.
00:21.19ImpyDroidWell modern Radeon architecture is basically sentient
00:21.31ImpyDroidAnd made of shiny black metal
00:21.47ImpyDroidAnd can reshape itself at will
00:23.19ImpyDroidBut the forms of the architecture I imagine have changed little over time
00:23.33OluapPlayer1st world Radeon problems = the chair doesn't let me sit on it
00:23.51*** join/#sporewiki Charles_Murray (ad2e61ae@gateway/web/freenode/ip.173.46.97.174)
00:24.52ImpyDroidRadeons being the conservative rats they are, I imagine they would hold to their traditional aesthetics despite their advancing technology
00:25.37ImpyDroidSo they'd build a city made entirely out of sentient nanomachines, but would only command these nanomachines to build giant Orthodox-ish cathedrals
00:26.03OluapPlayerThe Divinarium out-UNO'd UNO
00:27.33ImpyDroidThey kinda always had them
00:27.53ImpyDroidActually come to think about it
00:28.53ImpyDroidImagine the Divinarium using force fields to build cities
00:28.55ImpyDroidLike
00:29.17ImpyDroidBuilding-shaped force fields + holograms = buildings
00:29.37OluapPlayerYou pass through holograms tho
00:29.38OluapPlayerNot a veyr good building
00:29.46MonetTHat's not too far fetched an idea
00:30.17MonetActually I think there has been ideas tossed around of prefabs or eve nentire cities contructed using forcefields and holograms.
00:30.37OluapPlayerHow does that work
00:30.38DrodoEmpire_*pulls the power plug*
00:30.40DrodoEmpire_Hah!
00:30.41OluapPlayerHolograms are not physical
00:30.41ImpyDroidOluapPlauer: Hence forcefields
00:30.50MonetOluapPLayer: Holograms inside forcefields
00:30.59DrodoEmpire_Holograms and forcefields to give the holograms physical presence and substance
00:30.59OluapPlayerSounds pointless
00:31.04ImpyDroidYou make holograms then you activate a forcefield around them to make them tangible
00:31.07DrodoEmpire_Well it'd take a lot of power
00:31.13DrodoEmpire_And if that power went out...
00:31.20ImpyDroidIt would make building very quick though
00:31.27MonetYou get a very quickly-assembled building though
00:31.30OluapPlayerI don't see how that's anymore productive than making an actual building
00:31.33DrodoEmpire_That is true
00:31.41DrodoEmpire_What with making building faster
00:32.00MonetMaybe the idea could be used in conjunction with the nanotech.
00:32.50MonetAssembling a building with nanomachines will still take time - erect the building with forcefields and holograms, then the nanos fill in the hologram, but the building would still be entirely serviceable as they assemble it.
00:34.28ImpyDroidAs for the actual look, big domes
00:34.32ImpyDroidAnd SPIRES
00:34.32MonetThe drawback of "what if the power went out" isn't so bad if the power supply and the projectors are robust.
00:34.38ImpyDroidDomes and spires
00:35.26ImpyDroidLike in Byzantine architecture
00:36.19MonetCould do
00:36.30MonetBlack spires and domes
00:37.46ImpyDroidhttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/AlexanderNevskyCathedral-Sofia-6.jpg/2560px-AlexanderNevskyCathedral-Sofia-6.jpg A bit like this
00:38.41ImpyDroidhttp://www.hotelbuyukkeban.com/wp-content/uploads/Best-Price-Hotel-near-Sultanahmet-Istanbul.jpg Or this, this is Ottoman but it was derived from Byzantine anyway
00:40.31MonetWOuld Radeons build minarets?
00:40.44DrodoEmpire_Minarets are Islamic, aren't they?
00:40.49DrodoEmpire_Like exclusively
00:41.23MonetYeah, used by Imams to call Muslims ot prayer iirc
00:42.02DrodoEmpire_Right, so unless Radeons are muslim why would they use them?
00:42.37MonetMaybe a place for clerics to chant the Messengers' will or lessons?
00:42.58ImpyDroidDrodoEmpire_: Well Christianity has bell towers
00:43.16ImpyDroidWhich are pretty much the same thing as minarets if you think about it
00:43.19DrodoEmpire_Yeah I suppose. Religions have related structures to minarets I guess\
00:43.37ImpyDroidBut yes I thought of minaret-ike tower thingies
00:44.02ImpyDroidI actually made minarets in Spore a long while ago, when first making Radeons
00:44.18ImpyDroidThey were used as entertainment centers in my playthrough
00:44.32ImpyDroidAbsolutely haram
00:44.44MonetLol
00:44.44MonetWell kind of makes sense
00:44.51MonetImams need to have *really* good singing voices.
00:45.32ImpyDroidIman Jastin al-Biber
00:45.47DrodoEmpire_hur
00:47.03ImpyDroidDrodoEmpire_: Well Islam was always a big inspiration for Radeon design
00:47.11DrodoEmpire_Fair enough, yeah
00:47.22ImpyDroidRadeons are like Shi'a Catholic Taoists
00:48.51DrodoEmpire_Drodo - radeons have muslamic ray guns confirmed
00:48.55ImpyDroidTheir visual design, dress, and the way they elect their religious leaders is based on Catholicis
00:49.01ImpyDroidCatholicism
00:49.15DrodoEmpire_Okay,
00:49.18ImpyDroid<PROTECTED>
00:50.35ImpyDroidThe history of their religion, its implementation and role in society, as well as the role their clergy plays, and to a lesser extent their visual culture is more similar to Islam

03:41.21DrodoEmpire_Though, the man may've been exiled instead

17:34.10OluapPlayerThe Loron char pages are all so outdated
17:42.00TechnobliteratorI tried to update them a while back, but I could only do so much
17:42.57TechnobliteratorHaven't had time to do anything on the wiki with this revision, and once I do have time, it's Kicath Loron History, so I can't help, sorry
17:44.31OluapPlayerI would have updated these pages ages ago
17:44.41OluapPlayerBut for some reason, I get tired and lazy just by looking at them
17:44.45OluapPlayerThey awaken by inner Loron
17:44.47OluapPlayermy*
17:45.49Technobliteratorhahaha
17:47.23OluapPlayerIt's the rather overwhelming number of things they all have done
17:47.38OluapPlayerWhich is why I decided to generalize their History sections to "since then they did a bunch of stuff"
17:49.15OluapPlayerIt's hard to update the Histories of 14 characters when they're virtually always together

18:31.50The_RandomnessHello
18:32.05OluapPlayer_Hi
18:33.25ImperiosTechnobliterator: I just thought of something
18:33.30ImperiosRemember Br'klakkon?
18:33.35TechnobliteratorOh?
18:33.37TechnobliteratorI do
18:33.45OluapPlayer_Xho: http://i.imgur.com/2op7ubm.jpg
18:34.22Xhoscout with a hat
18:35.00OluapPlayer_dats just a scot
18:35.02OluapPlayer_scout even
18:35.07OluapPlayer_Demoman is the scot
18:35.17ImperiosI just realised that I never ever explained why he is like that
18:35.24ImperiosAs in, that smart
18:35.40ImperiosObviously turning into a MN increased his intelligence but he was always abnormally intelligent
18:36.10MonetOther Loron - NNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRDDD
18:36.41OluapPlayer_The fact he speaks normal makes him a disgusting character
18:36.55OluapPlayer_Loron who speaks normal = no-no
18:37.08Technobliteratorcould be a genetic mutation from a chik
18:37.58ImperiosSpeaking of chiks this could actually be a very interesting explanation
18:38.15ImperiosMaybe he's like a Loron version of an intersex and/or transgender person
18:38.33Technobliteratorthat would be interesting
18:38.37MonetAn LGBT Loron?
18:38.39ImperiosAs in, having thought patterns and the like that are, by the standards of his species, mostly feminine
18:38.43ImperiosMonet: Mostly T
18:38.59OluapPlayer_But Loron are an all-male race
18:39.07MonetActually that's funny because he's currently inside another man lol.
18:39.13OluapPlayer_Loron and Norol are different species altogether, not genders of each other
18:39.26*** join/#sporewiki Charles_Bot (uid94017@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-vddnaqaisdlgfxuj)
18:39.27TechnobliteratorGratz'kaoz was originally smart, but then just became so insane he dropped the "smart" part
18:39.38OluapPlayer_Yeah but he didn't speak normal
18:39.43ImperiosOluapPlayer_: Wait, remind me, are they hatched from the same eggs or not
18:39.48OluapPlayer_He was just a little brighter than the other kids
18:40.03OluapPlayer_Norol eat dead Loron and create Loron eggs from those
18:40.18OluapPlayer_Biologically they're two separate species
18:40.33MonetI always assumed the difference between Loron and Norol was just a ridiculou degree of sexual dimorphism
18:40.47ImperiosA Loron with some Norol genetics then
18:40.53Technobliteratorno, they don't really share DNA
18:41.07OluapPlayer_The Norol existed by themselves, then the Taldar created the Loron for them
18:41.19*** join/#sporewiki OfficerJackal (~OfficerJa@2601:6c0:4202:1ad0:3598:bb94:702:86a4)
18:41.28OluapPlayer_I'm pretty sure that's in their creature page
18:41.33Technobliteratorand then the Loron became so numerous and much stronger than the Norol that they ended up taking control
18:41.34Technobliteratorit is
18:41.35OluapPlayer_If it isn't, it should be
18:41.42MonetConsidering how the Loron turned out that sounds rather sadistic of them
18:41.55ImperiosBut still the idea of a transgender Loron
18:41.56OluapPlayer_They were created to be bodyguards
18:42.03OluapPlayer_Then the Vyro'Ralza came in and ruined them
18:42.09ImperiosBr'klakkon - DIE CIS SCUM
18:42.37MonetMaybe smart Loron are Loron-Norol hybrids?
18:42.39OluapPlayer_Fre'kloar - DAI NORMALS-EEKIN MUTANT
18:42.45OluapPlayer_SPEEKIN*
18:43.34Technobliteratorhybrid makes more sense
18:44.05OluapPlayer_Nonetheless, as far as stories say, Loron are asexual and don't even have reproductive organs
18:44.13OluapPlayer_Since they reproduce by being eaten
18:44.44MonetOr maybe Loron DNA contains a recessive gene that gives a tiny number of Loron super-intelligence compared to other Loron.
18:44.47XhoKicath - nigga dat just weird
18:45.04OluapPlayer_Loron - dum kickass
18:46.00ImperiosOluapPlayer_: I think there were some occasions on which Br'klakkon spoke normal Loronish
18:46.15OluapPlayer_He should speak normal Loron all the time
18:46.22OluapPlayer_90% of the fun of the Loron comes from their speech
18:47.00MonetBr'Klakkon - Thoose wer times I waz in discooze
18:47.15OluapPlayer_Which is why I was always against Ref'kolar speaking normal, and why he went full Loron speek in Da Ice Cube Trials
18:47.32OluapPlayer_Remove the speech from the Loron and you may as well use a different race altogether
18:47.46ImperiosNot sure if it was a quote or an actual dialogue in Andromeda WAr
18:47.52ImperiosBasically he tried to address his Loron
18:47.55ImperiosNo-one understood him
18:48.07ImperiosSo he began to spoke normal Loron
18:48.56OluapPlayer_Still, first Sarec, now Volkarus has a tranny inside of him
18:49.00OluapPlayer_draconis r ghey
18:49.10MonetReminds me of the whole premise of Allo Allo.
18:49.59dino82_Helga :P
18:50.25ImperiosOluapPlayer_: I kinda think of most draconis as being metrosexual in terms of behaviour
18:50.29ImperiosSave for the military
18:50.51MonetIn Allo Allo, different languages were portrayed though accents. So Translators would speak to British in cockney, then repeat what they said with a French accent so the French actors could understand
18:52.18MonetDraconis - Yeah is there really a stigma in our society when our females are foten just as inclined to smash your face in as men?
18:53.16ImperiosCome to think about it they do not really have that much of sexual dimorphism
18:53.45TechnobliteratorOluapPlayer_, the main point of using normal speech as Loron is to try and highlight their lack of Loronly-ness, most of the time
18:54.06OluapPlayer_It's still bad to my eyes
18:54.14ImperiosSo maybe Draconis simply do not think of things as feminine or masculine most of the time
18:54.19OluapPlayer_Like I said, the character may as well be a different race
18:55.58ImperiosShall I ever revisit him, I may have him use Loron speak when speaking to other Lorons
18:56.02MonetImperios: Pretty much really. I'm not sure if I've ever shown a real masculine/femanine contrast among Draconis.
18:56.34ImperiosMonet: Well they at least have different clothes for sexes but then again BOTH are very fancy
18:56.42OluapPlayer_It's none of my concern
18:56.45MonetAlessa might be the only exception but recently she's done combat training but has never saw it as an 'unladylike' bad thing.
18:57.49ImperiosWhat are you referring to, OP?
18:59.47OluapPlayer_What you do with your fiction
19:00.48OluapPlayer_You do whatever you want with it, I was just expression my view on the matter
19:02.10ImperiosSo apparently the only really patriarchal cultures in Andromeda are the Zazane and the Artharon
19:03.13ImperiosActually how many species in the Fictionverse/Fantasyverse have strongly defined gender roles
19:03.44OluapPlayer_dats primitive shi
19:04.49ImperiosGender roles are a natural thing, they just blurred because of technology
19:04.56TechnobliteratorLoron technically are, if you count the Chikz as a female gender
19:04.58ImperiosBesides the Fantasyverse IS primitive
19:05.05OluapPlayer_My only race with gender roles in either universe are the Fantasy Gros
19:05.12DrodoEmpireDrodo have some traditional gender roles Imperios; Warfare, for example, is usually seen as a "man's job" but leadership roles and whatnot aren't often gender-specific
19:05.37Monethttp://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/familyguy/images/3/34/Jamesbottomtooth3.png/revision/latest?cb=20101223201803 this gux XD
19:05.43MonetWhoops wrong channel
19:06.10XhoMonet: y u no minecraft lately
19:06.19OluapPlayer_fuk ur blocky game
19:06.28OluapPlayer_The Dracogonarious don't have gender roles, but what humans would consider a man's job is probably favored by females
19:06.29MonetXho: Uni stuff.
19:06.35OluapPlayer_Since they are physically better than males
19:06.48DrodoEmpireMany Drodo clans are led by a Matriarch, often with the support of a clan council
19:07.15MonetOluapPLayer: THat explains how Windey can keep such control ver Koluap.
19:07.26OluapPlayer_Windey is a Spinker, not a Dracogonarious
19:07.31ImperiosDracogonarious femdom
19:07.43OluapPlayer_No such thing, Dracogonarious are asexual
19:07.49MonetI'm doing three things at once so apologies
19:08.27DrodoEmpireThough some others may be led by an especially powerful male in the family, like with the house of Jivirik
19:08.32OluapPlayer_The same is valid for the subspecies, so if you want the definite strongest, you're looking for a female Dracogodasimer
19:08.43OluapPlayer_They're probably the strongest thing in the Collective after the Zazane and Horder
19:08.56ImperiosThat actually makes a lot of sense considerig that they are space crocodiles
19:08.59XhoNot sure about gender roles in my fiction
19:09.08XhoAll of them appear to be gender equal
19:09.21XhoTrying to go patriarchy on the Kicath would be a bad juju moment
19:09.24OluapPlayer_Santorakh - all are equal in the eyes of cheese
19:10.35DrodoEmpireI've given some thought to having some Drodo regiments recruit only from males. These'd be regiments like heavy infantry and heavy cavalry where the thought is that males may be better suited to the job
19:10.36OluapPlayer_Apart from the Fantasy Gros, all my empires in either universe are either gender-equal or completely genderless
19:10.44DrodoEmpireDue to being stronger and taller on average, etc.
19:11.54ImperiosWomen in the military were generally not allowed because of how valuable a woman is for a society I think
19:12.10DrodoEmpireWell there were some practical concerns too
19:12.12ImperiosI mean would you waste mothers when child mortality was high
19:12.13OluapPlayer_Women are weaker than men
19:12.15ImperiosObviously
19:12.20OluapPlayer_As in, biologically
19:12.22DrodoEmpire^
19:12.32ImperiosNo I understand of course but there was also that
19:12.35ImperiosFrom a societal viewpoint
19:12.51DrodoEmpireI recall there was a study by the US military that seemed to prove that mixed-gender regiments were less combat effective than all-male ones
19:12.59DrodoEmpireAnd possibly yeah
19:13.10OluapPlayer_I remember reading a report of an US female soldier who used to serve at Iraq
19:13.19OluapPlayer_She highlighted numbers of reasons why female soldiers are not a good idea
19:13.34DrodoEmpireNot frontline infantry, anyway
19:13.41ImperiosDrodoEmpire: Hormone brigaaaaaade
19:13.55OluapPlayer_One of them was that the male soldiers became worried in protecting her, potentially putting themselves in danger
19:13.56DrodoEmpirelogistics, reserves, artillery, or as officers I don't see a problem. :p
19:14.08DrodoEmpireOhh, I see
19:14.16DrodoEmpireSo it threw off discipline and group cohesion?
19:14.21OluapPlayer_Yes
19:14.24DrodoEmpireAhh
19:14.31DrodoEmpireYeah that'd be a big one then
19:14.51ImperiosThat is pretty much what happens when a person of one gender is introduced to a group where most people are from the opposite gender
19:15.13ImperiosYou'll be treated as special but at the same time you won't be considered to be bro
19:15.20ImperiosComing from my own experience
19:15.36OluapPlayer_Another matter is that, let's say frontline soldiers don't get bathroom breaks
19:15.47Imperios>frontline soldiers don't get bathroom breaks
19:15.52ImperiosWhat is this about bathing girls
19:16.02OluapPlayer_Who said anything about bathing
19:16.10OluapPlayer_I'm talking about urinating and pooping
19:16.11DrodoEmpireI don't imagine things'd get better if the male-to female ratio increased. :p *possibly* the discipline issues may cease but you'd still be left with the biological fact that women aren't as strong as men with the same amount of training and exercise
19:16.36ImperiosOh that
19:16.39ImperiosWEll yeah
19:16.46OluapPlayer_If you gotta do it then you do it in front of your companions. With a woman involved, it becomes super awkward
19:16.53ImperiosDrodoEmpire: I meant the "protecting the girl" thing
19:16.57DrodoEmpireWhich effects their stamina on the battlefield, accuracy, the ability to extract wounded, etc.
19:17.13DrodoEmpireRight I know, I'm just saying that besides that there are other issues
19:17.23ImperiosDiscipline suffers greatly
19:17.27Technobliteratorof course, it's not like feminazi groups are really interested in any of those reasons
19:17.34Imperios#DieCisScum
19:17.37Technobliteratorthey just go "baaaaah patriarchy"

19:20.54MonetNow I just got reminded of that Witcher III trailer that shows am an that stops  charging horse by slicing it's head off as it is in mid-gallop.
19:21.08XhoTumblr went very far downhill
19:21.14OluapPlayer_I've watched that, it's the game's opening

19:21.50OluapPlayer_There are
19:21.52Technobliteratorbut it became known for its absurd SJW ones
19:22.00OluapPlayer_But they're nearly invisible in the sea of shit that is Tumblr
19:22.15DrodoEmpireMonet: Pretty unlikely but it could happen. I recall the Aztec warriors being known to behead horses
19:22.17Technobliteratorand for trying to defend otherkin and obesity as things that should be acceptable
19:22.21DrodoEmpireWhile in a fight
19:22.24Technobliteratorneither of which are healthy
19:22.43MonetDrodoEmpire: I think the executioner was a Witcher.
19:22.45DrodoEmpireYeah I really dislike the whole "fat acceptance" thing. It... Never, ever made sense to me. :p
19:22.56OluapPlayer_I think it was just a random Nilfgaardian
19:22.56ImperiosDrodoEmpire: Wait how would they behead them if they had no bladed weaponry
19:23.15DrodoEmpireTheir weapons were still made of extremely sharp obsidian blades. :p
19:23.21OluapPlayer_But a Witcher could definitely behead a horse mid-gallop
19:23.24ImperiosBaldes attached to sticks
19:23.26OluapPlayer_And probably behead the rider too
19:23.27DrodoEmpireMacuahuitl swords I believe they were called
19:23.31ImperiosHow can you behead someone with a stick
19:23.36ImperiosEven if it was covered in blades
19:23.36DrodoEmpireOne minute...
19:23.39OluapPlayer_Hit them really hard
19:23.45ImperiosI know how they look
19:23.45DrodoEmpireBecause they're extremely sharp and heavy...?
19:23.51Imperios...True that

19:24.54OluapPlayer_It's just a normal soldier
19:25.07Imperioshttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/B9v-p8lCYAANCfR.jpg That I think would be easier to smack people with rather than to cut
19:25.17ImperiosLike smack and leave heavy wounds because of the small blades
19:25.27ImperiosActually wiat
19:25.27TechnobliteratorI played similar games before
19:25.32ImperiosI just realised
19:25.34Monet_2Normal soldier but I guess it shows how deadly Nilfgaardian weaponry is
19:25.38ImperiosIt is basically a chainsword
19:25.42ImperiosTHat does not move
19:25.47OluapPlayer_They're the biggest empire after all
19:25.50DrodoEmpireExactly what I'm saying... >.<
19:25.54OluapPlayer_Their army is the ebst
19:25.55DrodoEmpireIts a saw, basically
19:25.56OluapPlayer_best
19:26.05DrodoEmpireAnd I think the reason they're flat on one end is to incapacitate enemies with a smack
19:26.06TechnobliteratorI'm fairly confident it's not a game I'd enjoy for long enough to be worth it
19:26.06Monet_2The biggest empire, ruled by elves.
19:26.21OluapPlayer_Eh
19:26.33OluapPlayer_Nilfgaardian is ruled by humans, not elves
19:26.38DrodoEmpireIts unwieldy, but its was used by the mesoamericans for centuries so it *must* work

19:26.45DrodoEmpire*it was
19:27.29OluapPlayer_They're extremely xenophobic against non-Nilfgaardians, which would include non-humans

19:28.18Monet_2Emhyr ver Emreis is an elf.
19:28.36JepardiHe is human through and through
19:28.56OluapPlayer_You meet him in game, he's 100% human
19:29.00JepardiNilfgaardians do speak elvish as their language though
19:29.21JepardiAtleast some variation of it
19:29.26Monet_2Yeah that's probably the thing that got me.
19:29.55Monet_2Nilfgaardians speak the Elder Speech, the tongue of Elves and dryads
19:31.01ImperiosSilly Polish fantasy thing
19:31.07JepardiAnd on their xenophobic nature, that's more like they are racist towards other humans (Northerners and Skelligers)
19:31.11Monet_2"A significant amount of elven blood runs in the veins of the people, while their language is a variant of the Elder Language." this might explain things
19:31.12OluapPlayer_Poland can into videogames
19:31.44Monet_2Nilfgaardians are racist because a lot of them have elf blood.
19:31.51OluapPlayer_I still need to play the third game, but it's so expensive
19:31.57OluapPlayer_And I don't want to pirate it
19:32.01OluapPlayer_cause the devs are cool people
19:33.52Monet_2I always percieved the Empire as something the Northern Kingdoms dreaded: A realm where the non-humans were in charge
19:34.28ImperiosOluapPlayer: http://cs540103.vk.me/v540103041/3b1ca/HlJmzNvJR0s.jpg Shiny
19:34.44Monet_2And I do believe in Witcher 2 they backed the Scoia'tael
19:35.08JepardiThe fear of the Empire comes mostly from stories of cruelty that are told by soldiers and kings
19:35.20ImperiosWitchers seems like my kind of thing but I am not really attracted by the genre itself
19:35.31ImperiosI could read the book though
19:37.01Monet_2Then again when the Second Northern War ended Nilfgaard sold out the Squirrels.
19:38.08Monet_2One of the third-years on my course was Polish and adored the Witcher series.
19:39.19OluapPlayer_Imperios: huehue moon
19:40.54Monet_2Technobliterator: I'd say Witcher isn't a series where running in screaming does very well.
19:41.15TechnobliteratorI don't play games where you run in screaming
19:41.49Monet_2Like MSG, Geralt has to prepare for his missions. In his case, drinking poions, making traps and finding a strategy to defeat the mosnters you've been called to slay.
19:41.58OluapPlayer_Geralt doesn't resist damage any better than a normal man
19:42.50Monet_2Where Witchers differ is they are stronger, faster and tire less, they're also mroe durable to poisons.
19:43.29OluapPlayer_Then again the combat is easily the weakest part of the series
19:43.32Monet_2I remember one line in 2's prologue that the standard health potion Geralt chugs could potentially kill a normal human.
19:43.41OluapPlayer_Witcher 1 has got to have the worst combat in a videogame I've played in the last 5 years
19:44.59Monet_2Combat is a challenge, and sometiems painful I admit
19:45.33Monet_2It might be that clunkiness aside, Witcher might play too closely ot real-life sword fighting.
19:45.39JepardiIt got a whole lot better as the series went ahead
19:45.51JepardiCombat, I mean
19:45.52ImperiosDrodoEmpire: About fat acceptance, the problem is valid but they take it too far
19:45.59OluapPlayer_It did but it's still weak
19:46.11ImperiosKeep in mind that our modern standards of beauty are even more unhealthy
19:46.12OluapPlayer_It's not a challenge, it's just boring "click at it until it dies"
19:46.27OluapPlayer_I've played 1 and 2 to the end, I know how they are
19:46.47JepardiAt least it isn't Skyrim's paddle smacking
19:46.51DrodoEmpireImperios: Maybe you're right
19:46.53OluapPlayer_True
19:46.55Monet_2OluapPLayer: You're supposed to mix up your attacks with dodges and wards.
19:47.02OluapPlayer_You don't need to
19:47.09OluapPlayer_You can brute force your way through virtually all fights
19:47.16Monet_2But it helps a lot.
19:47.28Technobliteratorthis sounds more like something I wouldn't really enjoy, in all honesty
19:47.30ImperiosAlso screaming "landwhale" at people is also somewhat impolite
19:47.32OluapPlayer_At least Witcher enemies react to being damaged, unlike in Skyrim
19:47.47TechnobliteratorI did not like Skyrim at all
19:47.49DrodoEmpireImperios: Obviously. Do you *think* I or most people do that
19:47.51DrodoEmpire*?
19:48.05TechnobliteratorI appreciated it, I didn't enjoy it, in the slightest
19:48.06JepardiIn Wild Hunt brute forcing doesn't exactly work anymore
19:48.14JepardiAtleast for some monsters
19:48.30Monet_2That's good.
19:48.32OluapPlayer_Jepardi: Speaking of all this, since you clearly know the series, I'd say the Wild Hunt would be a fitting thing for Harstag in Koldenwelt
19:48.52ImperiosDrodoEmpire: The word is used very liberally by MRAs and the like
19:48.55ImperiosWhich I find stupid
19:49.08DrodoEmpireWell I'm not a bloody MRA. :p
19:49.24DrodoEmpireI'm not a feminist, but I'm not on the opposite extreme
19:49.24TechnobliteratorI found Skyrim bland, its missions and story uninteresting and repetitive, and its combat and items systems really dull
19:49.35OluapPlayer_That's because Skyrim is all of that
19:49.35Monet_2Weren't MRAs originally a satire?
19:49.37JepardiWell I have based a few Wanes already on monsters from Witcher (Leshen and Fiends)
19:49.44DrodoEmpirePretty sure they still are Monet
19:49.45TechnobliteratorI didn't enjoy Fallout for much the same reason, so I just think I'm not a Bethesda fan
19:49.50ImperiosMonet_2: Well there are guys like Sargon who take it seriously
19:49.55OluapPlayer_I see
19:50.00Technobliteratorbut I'm sure they're a great dev
19:50.01DrodoEmpireAt least "Meninism" is
19:50.04OluapPlayer_Still the concept of the Wild Hunt fits Harstag
19:50.10Monet_2Imperios: Then they didn't get the point
19:50.10OluapPlayer_They exist in real world mythology after all
19:50.29DrodoEmpireImperios: I'm not gonna say everything MRAs say is invalid but no I'm not among them
19:50.37TechnobliteratorI hear New Vegas is not by Bethesda, which might be why people love it more
19:50.41ImperiosI am speaking of the misogynistic folks on the Internet who bash whatever portrays women positively
19:50.51OluapPlayer_It isn't. It's made by a successor of the makers of Fallout 1 and 2
19:50.52JepardiYeah I thought that he would lead something similar when he visits Koldenwelt on his hunts
19:51.01ImperiosDrodoEmpire: I mean the guys who says TFA is feminist because there's a stormtrooper girl
19:51.13DrodoEmpireWell yeah they're idiots
19:51.35OluapPlayer_I nearly made a Wild Hunt for Mortium but then I reckoned, Wild Hunt = God of hunting
19:51.50DrodoEmpireAssuming they aren't simply being satirical
19:51.57ImperiosThey aren't
19:52.04ImperiosTrust me, there are lots of these guys
19:52.16Monet_2One of the codifying things about satire is it's constructed to go over the heads of some people.
19:52.26DrodoEmpireAnyway, back to the point of fat acceptance
19:52.34OluapPlayer_It isn't
19:52.37OluapPlayer_Start jogging, fatty
19:52.52ImperiosOr that Mad Max: Fury Road is bad because it is feminist because it shows women being mistreated as bad
19:53.12ImperiosI mean it IS feminist but how is portraying sex slavery a wrong thing
19:53.20Imperios*as bad a wrong thing
19:53.58Monet_2Chauvanism.
19:54.00DrodoEmpireI get *why* obesity happens; Poor people and the like in developed countries can often only afford a poor diet which causes them to be obese. That's really unfortunate, but I think normalizing a serious health condition is also wrong
19:54.15ImperiosOf course but you don't speak about that in public
19:54.32OluapPlayer_The problem are the fats who are fat on purpose and are proud of being fat
19:54.32DrodoEmpireSorry?
19:54.56ImperiosI just happen to have a friend who is quite, erm, heavy and calling her a fattie in public would be, ahem, embarassing
19:55.09OluapPlayer_Well no, you don't do that anywhere in the world
19:55.20DrodoEmpireWell duh. I'm not disagreeing Imperios. :p
19:55.20Monet_2Imperios: That's the thing about the internet: Anonymity + cyberspace's 'unreal' nature makes people forget what they saay is going public public.
19:55.27ImperiosI try to nudge her subtly into the right direction though
19:55.41ImperiosBut overall I am more conerned about my own weight
19:55.53Monet_2Or it might be that some peopel jsut don't understand courtesy or social graces.
19:55.57OluapPlayer_You only call someone fat over here if you're in a group of male friends and the fat guy jokes about it himself
19:56.03OluapPlayer_Calling a girl fat is a no-no
19:56.08ImperiosObviously
19:56.22DrodoEmpireAh shit, need to reboot my computer
19:56.31ImperiosHm
19:58.40ImperiosI actually once made a joke about Alyona losing weight
19:58.50ImperiosShe literally responded by saying "baka~"
19:58.58OluapPlayer_fukin weeaboo
19:59.20ImperiosShe used to be a weeaboo, now she's more into comics I think
19:59.20dino82_bye all!
19:59.23Monet_2Reminds me of a joke one of my friends posted on Facebook
19:59.35Technobliteratorwow, even I'm not like that ._.
19:59.40ImperiosShe loves Deadpool
19:59.55ImperiosTechnobliterator: You're not like her
19:59.55OluapPlayer_ech
19:59.57Monet_2"Whenever your boyfriend hints that he'd like you to lose weight, you can drop 150lb immediately by dropping his ass and leaving him"
20:00.03OluapPlayer_remove her from the premises
20:00.14ImperiosYou are, overall, not that much of a geek
20:00.19ImperiosShe has a very geeky mindset
20:00.30ImperiosOluapPlayer_: You do not like Deadpool?
20:00.34OluapPlayer_I don't
20:00.42ImperiosWell dunno
20:00.45OluapPlayer_He's the most annoying comic character I've ever seen
20:00.47Technobliteratorwhat's wrong with Deadpool?
20:00.52ImperiosI do not have a strong like or dislike towards him,
20:00.52Monet_2I can understand if peopel see him as overrated.
20:00.56ImperiosBut he's kinda funny
20:00.59TechnobliteratorHe's supposed to be basically a joke
20:01.02ImperiosNot super-funny but funny-ish
20:01.08OluapPlayer_I don't find him funny
20:01.12OluapPlayer_I just find him annoying
20:01.25TechnobliteratorDeadpool is the only comic character you shouldn't take seriously
20:01.36ImperiosI am not really into comics in general so I do not have strong opinions towards any comic character
20:01.44TechnobliteratorI don't really care for him either way
20:01.52ImperiosSave for some Batman franchise characters
20:01.59Monet_2The guy acts like the fourth wall doesn't exist. Hell he even makes jokes that he can see text boxes.
20:02.11ImperiosBut even then it is mostly from the adaptations, I never actually read Batman comics
20:02.12ImperiosEven as a kid
20:02.22OluapPlayer_I'm not a fan of that kind of humour
20:02.41Monet_2Right that explains things.
20:03.06OluapPlayer_I was never too much into comics but one character I remember liking was Carnage from Spider-Man
20:03.13Monet_2If you don't find breaking the fourth wall funny then yeah, dDeadpool isn't that funny.
20:03.15OluapPlayer_I first saw him and was like "man this is cool"
20:03.42TechnobliteratorI never liked comics, just movies based on comics
20:04.14ImperiosMy favourite characters were, I think, Hulk and Iron Man
20:04.28TechnobliteratorThor is the best
20:04.32Monet_2I grew up with Iron Man and Spider-Man.
20:04.43ImperiosTechnobliterator: None can resist the abs
20:04.59Technobliterator<PROTECTED>
20:05.10Technobliteratorthe others are just freaks
20:05.17ImperiosI liked Spider-Man as a franchise but I thought the character was overrated
20:05.17OluapPlayer_I also grew a liking for Aquaman after he became OUTRAGEOUS, but that's the internet's fault
20:05.24Monet_2Of manliness.
20:05.49ImperiosLike he was not actually that strong, smart or cunning, he was just a teenage guy who can climb walls
20:05.56Monet_2Technobliterator: So I guess you don't like the X-men
20:06.05ImperiosSo he didn't impress me like, say, Iron Man did
20:06.10Technobliteratornot really
20:06.13ImperiosAlso Mandarin was cool
20:06.26TechnobliteratorI quite like Iron Man
20:06.41OluapPlayer_I've never read or seen Iron Man
20:06.46ImperiosI am ambivalent towards the Movie Iron Man
20:06.48OluapPlayer_When his movie came out I was like "who dis"
20:07.16Monet_2I think the TV shows tried to play down his alcoholism
20:07.23Monet_2Bcause don't drink kiddies
20:07.36ImperiosHe is not that much of an intellectual in the movies, so for me he was not that relateable
20:08.11ImperiosHulk I liked because he was 1) strong 2) smart when Banner 3) pitiable
20:08.22ImperiosIt was easy to feel sympathetic towards him
20:08.23Monet_2It can be difficult to combine "intelligent" and "party animal"
20:09.15Monet_2Tony Stark is quite brilliant, he just mixes it with bouts of irrational behaviour, impulsiveness and showmanship.
20:09.52Monet_2Watching Iron Man 3 again I realised...when people called out he was a moron for giving Mandarin his address...yeah, so did Tony.
20:10.36Monet_2Tony *was* rather shaken up by Happy ending up in intensive care.
20:10.39ImperiosWhy did they make him Central Asian though
20:10.43ImperiosWhy is Mandarin not Chinese
20:10.54Monet_2Because War on Terror.
20:11.15Monet_2The Ten RIngs had already been established in Iron Man I to be a Central Asian radical group.
20:11.33OluapPlayer_Technobliterator: Any chance we can rp now?
20:11.55ImperiosThey could at least make him Dungan
20:12.11Monet_2Besides, the Mandarin in III wasn't the actual Mandarin.
20:12.27*** join/#sporewiki DrodoEmpire (adfc264b@gateway/web/freenode/ip.173.252.38.75)
20:12.29ImperiosThere are Chinese people in Central Asia
20:12.33ImperiosMandarin could be Dungan
20:12.39ImperiosHe could easily be Chinese hur
20:12.50ImperiosThen again, maybe you're right
20:13.29ImperiosMuslim people kinda fill the same role in modern European worldview as Asian people did in the 20th century
20:13.40Monet_2Mandasrin in III was some British stage actor they hired to play Mandari nin exchange for boobs, boats and weed
20:13.57Monet_2I think there were rumours at some point that there is going to be a sequel where the real Mandari nshows up really angry.
20:14.03ImperiosThe real Mandarin there was European wasn't he?
20:14.29Monet_2He was English, yeah.
20:15.02Monet_2Started off doing Englsih stage plays, moved to the States, got hooked on weed and was then hired by Killian.
20:15.43ImperiosThat's even dumber
20:16.20ImperiosI understand it was probably meant to be for PC reasons but one could make an evil Chinese guy without making him a stereotype
20:16.45Monet_2Well if it helps the actor, Ben Kingsley, is Anglo-Indian.
20:17.05XhoADFSGASFHAKJGH
20:17.10OluapPlayer_u
20:17.35ImperiosWhat was that
20:17.43ImperiosDid Xho just proclaim himself a teacher
20:17.50Imperios*consider
20:18.07OluapPlayer_Xho is just doing his usual Xhoisms
20:18.17Monet_2Maybe it was a bit of a joke at Hollywood.
20:18.27XhoYou mentioned Anglo-Indian
20:18.30XhoTherefore I was summoned
20:18.43Tek0516Monet_2: I think the post-credits has an offscreen Mandarin confront the fake one
20:18.51OluapPlayer_More like you had a stroke hur
20:18.52Monet_2Killian - This guy is good. Looks asian but not chinese...ehhh close enough
20:19.17Xhopotayto potahto
20:19.33OluapPlayer_ur a potato
20:19.37ImperiosNo, the idea of an ALLAHU AKBAR Mandarin is cool
20:19.43Monet_2Tek0516: If Marvel stinger tradition is upheld, that means we might be getting the real Mandarin in Iron Man 4.
20:20.14Monet_2Imperios: It was all a giant conspiracy really.
20:21.05Monet_2The VP had a daughter who had a missing shin, and in the film Extremis research wasn't granted. So Killian conspired with the VP to kill the prez.
20:21.12Tek0516They can get away with it since he's even just an actor in-universe
20:22.04Monet_2The VP would become Prez and pass legislation to allow AIM to research Extremis so long as they heal his daughter's leg.
20:23.11JepardiThe real Mandarin was hinted at in the oneshot All Hail the King, where a member of Ten Rings captures Kingsley from jail and takes him to the real one
20:23.35Tek0516I think the motive rant involved suggested fake terrorist to fund war on terror for I forget why.
20:23.58ImperiosNow how the actual Mandarin will look like is another thing
20:24.04Tek0516Jepardi: Right, that's it
20:24.05ImperiosHopefully he won't be green like in the cartoons
20:24.30Imperioshttp://animatedcartoons.co/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/The-Mandarin-From-Iron-Man.jpg I IS ELF
20:24.48ImperiosOr orc
20:24.49ImperiosOrlf
20:25.19OluapPlayer_Handsome orc
20:25.24JepardiMy theory is that he will be the main villain of Doctor Strange played by Mads Mikkelsen, but that's a long shot
20:25.24Monet_2Tek0516: The fake terror plot allowd AIM and the VP to push the President soewhere they could get rid of him.
20:25.32TechnobliteratorOluapPlayer_, I'm kinda working atm :/ I'll be done in about 10 minutes?
20:25.34Monet_2It also would have given AIM a reason to develop Extremis.
20:25.38OluapPlayer_rite
20:26.26Monet_2Imperios: Yeah the longstanding problem with the Mandarin is he's cringeworthingly racist.
20:26.46ImperiosHe was based on Fu Manchu wasn't he?
20:26.51Tek0516Probably
20:27.26ImperiosHe could be like Valentine from Kingsman
20:27.35ImperiosStereotype-defying
20:28.35ImperiosOr Khalisah bint Sina al-Jilani from Mass Effect
20:28.43ImperiosBasically antagonistic but not in a sterotypical way
20:28.49ImperiosDo people remember Khalisa?
20:28.52Monet_2Marvel fortunately got a bit better at his design more recently

20:29.34Tek0516The films have done a decent job at purging the worst of the cringe and terribleness from its heroes.
20:29.39ImperiosHe does not look Chinese at all hur
20:31.18Monet_2http://www.deathsdoorprods.com/wp-content/uploads/invim2008520cov-e1338417275279.jpg what about this one

21:01.36ImperiosYeah being African sucks
21:01.37DrodoEmpireAh true
21:02.31DrodoEmpireAfrica had a few great civilizations, though yes geography and local fauna did not favor the growth of large civilizations
21:03.16HachimanEgypt was fortunate because of the Nile; that and they had Nubians to bully
21:03.29ImperiosEgypt - NOOOBS
21:03.37DrodoEmpirePretty much
21:03.44DrodoEmpireThat's why they had a big civilization
21:04.52HachimanAlso, the name of Pachacuti, the ninth Sapa Inca of Cusco and the first Sapa Inca of the Incan Empire, meant "He Who Overturns Space and Time" which I feel is somewhat appropriate given that he unified over 100 different ethnic groups into a single empire
21:05.06XhoEgyptians still had massive famine problems tho
21:05.10Xhoold kingdom got wasted
21:05.21DrodoEmpireNot usually
21:05.34ImperiosIncans were pretty much the most powerful empire in America
21:05.35DrodoEmpireWhen they actually had famines it was due to *huge* climate changes
21:05.55ImperiosAztecs, for all their power, were just a tiny alliance of city states

21:06.41HachimanTrue
21:06.43DrodoEmpireAztecs were pretty powerful actually, but ultimately I don't think they had the same sort of centralization and sheer power of the Incans
21:06.53DrodoEmpireImperios: I think you'
21:06.53ImperiosCompare Mexico to Peru
21:07.14DrodoEmpire*you're exaggerating. Countries are more than square miles after all
21:07.27DrodoEmpireAztecs had a really powerful and efficient army, and were pretty rich
21:07.29DrodoEmpireBut again
21:07.39ImperiosTrue but, as you said, the Aztec Alliance was much less centralised
21:07.47DrodoEmpireIncans were powerful themselves because of centralization
21:07.48HachimanI imagine that if the Aztecs and Incans ever had the opportunity to interact with one another, Aztecs would have maybe got conquered hur
21:07.48DrodoEmpireExactly
21:07.50ImperiosThough they were more militant so if they fought the Aztecs could win

21:09.02ImperiosAs opposed to Aztecs who did not have any domesticated animals at all
21:09.12DrodoEmpireWell yeah
21:09.21HachimanHuh, I would have thought the Aztecs would have some form of domestic animal
21:09.25ImperiosWell they had dogs
21:09.33ImperiosBut I mean nothing that could be used to carry things
21:09.56DrodoEmpireBut you can't ride a Llama into battle, so it isn't useful for warfare. Its *moderately* useful for carrying things but its no ox or mule
21:10.02ImperiosI mean can you imagine a chihuahua carrying things
21:10.06DrodoEmpireSo for logistics I guess
21:10.16ImperiosDrodoEmpire: So worse than what the Old World had
21:10.16HachimanWho says you cannot breed war-llamas
21:10.18ImperiosBut still something
21:10.27ImperiosLlamas are tiny
21:10.34HachimanSo were Mongolian horses
21:11.25ImperiosMongolian horses were basically ponies
21:11.29ImperiosBut a pony is still bigger than a llama
21:11.31ImperiosYou can ride a pony
21:11.32ImperiosIn theory
21:11.40XhoHachiman: https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xla1/t31.0-8/12491744_10153335500079013_3426167489325740849_o.jpg Tosin looking like a Tekken boss
21:11.53Hachimankek
21:12.03ImperiosStill find it hilarious that the biggest empire in the world was founded by people riding ponies
21:12.15ImperiosWhat if Lauren Faust is descended from Genghis Khan
21:12.18XhoTHE BRITISH DID NOT RIDE PONIES
21:12.22XhoGOD SAVE THE QUEEN
21:12.40ImperiosAlright second largest
21:13.01HachimanBut the Mongol Empire *was* the largest empire in the world
21:13.12ImperiosWasn't the British Empire larger
21:13.51Imperioshttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/6d/The_British_Empire_Anachronous.png/1920px-The_British_Empire_Anachronous.png Though looking here that is including the fucking Antarctic
21:13.54ImperiosSo yeah Mongols
21:13.55HachimanI do not think so
21:13.59ImperiosEither way ponies conquered half of the world
21:14.07GhelThe Mongol Empire was the largest. And later the British Empire was the largest.
21:14.26OluapPlayer_The Empire will rise again once the reptilian infiltration is complete
21:14.45ImperiosOluapPlayer_: Tea-drinking dinosaurs
21:14.55ImperiosAnyway Lauren Faust must be a descendant of Genghis Khan
21:14.57OluapPlayer_Give him wings and you get the Klaxxa
21:15.03ImperiosThe Brony fandom is actually the Second Mongol Empire
21:15.26HachimanI still find it so utterly bizarre that the Incans would perform ceremonies using the bodies of dead people, particularly their rulers, and carry their mummified corpses into battle
21:15.46ImperiosHachiman: So that's where Lord Kroak's concept comes from
21:16.26HachimanDo not degrade the Mongols like that hur
21:16.36HachimanI imagine so yeah
21:16.55HachimanThe Incas used similar seats to what the Slann sit on to parade their dead
21:17.28HachimanLizardmen are best Warhammer Fantasy race hur
21:17.34HachimanOr at least one of
21:17.39Xhohttps://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/t31.0-8/12471680_10205416186832374_2416559879776916905_o.jpg 11/10
21:18.02Hachimanhur
21:18.36ImperiosLizardmen and Skaven
21:18.40ImperiosThat sounded furry but it isn't
21:19.30ImperiosXho: Didn't you say that this guy was how you imagined Santorakh to look like in human form
21:19.44XhoAs a joke
21:19.59OluapPlayer_Good ol' rub
21:21.40MonetHachiman: If I recall the Olmecs were utterly shocked when SPanish soldiers ambushed the emperor's convoy, dragged him into a hut and killed him.
21:22.44HachimanDo you not mean Aztecs?
21:23.33ImperiosYeah Olmecs were kinda dead by the time the SPanish arrived
21:25.00MonetI think it might have been the Aztecs
21:25.24MonetWhoever it was, as South American empire who were utterly shocked that people figured "ahh let's jsut kill the emperor" and did it
21:26.05HachimanYeah it was the Aztecs
21:26.15HachimanOlmecs and Mayans were gone before the era of colonialism
21:30.07ImperiosSouth American?
21:30.09ImperiosIncan then
21:30.18ImperiosI mean Aztecs are in North America
21:30.23ImperiosMexico is North America right
21:30.43HachimanI do not think so
21:30.58HachimanOh
21:31.04HachimanYes you are right
21:31.58OluapPlayer_Yes, Mexico is North American
21:32.12OluapPlayer_Canada, USA and Mexico make up NA
21:33.51GhelMy impression is that, when considering continents, Central America is part of North America. But when talking about pre-Columbian cultures, it's distinctly it's own Mesoamerican thing. Not South America in either sense though.
21:34.03MonetMexico is considreed Central America.
21:34.14OluapPlayer_For you maybe
21:34.22OluapPlayer_Over here we consider it North American
21:34.39OluapPlayer_Part of Latin American, but geographically part of North America
21:34.58OluapPlayer_*America
21:37.15OluapPlayer_Wikipedia also classifies Mexico as North American
21:37.56GhelSo it does.
21:38.31GhelIt also classifies Central America (which doesn't include Mexico) as North American.
21:38.34ImperiosOluapPlayer: So "bros from far away"
21:39.57OluapPlayer_I guess the US doesn't classify Central America as its own thing then
21:40.00OluapPlayer_Because we do over here
21:40.09OluapPlayer_It's the whole reason it has its own name after all
21:41.42OluapPlayer_"In Brazil, Central America comprises all countries between Mexico and Colombia, including those in the Caribbean"
21:41.48OluapPlayer_Yeah seems like it changes from place to place
21:42.13OluapPlayer_"Mexico, in whole or in part, is sometimes included by British people."
21:42.25OluapPlayer_The British are literally the devil
21:42.36OluapPlayer_Xho most specifically
21:42.46Xhogod save the queen
21:45.25ImperiosRussians only distinguish two Americans
21:45.27Imperios*Americas
21:45.33Imperios"DESTROY" and "not destroy"
21:45.40ImperiosI.e the USA and the rest of the continent
21:45.58OluapPlayer_hur
21:46.15DrodoEmpireAs a Canadian, phew
21:46.18DrodoEmpire:D
21:46.44Technobliteratordo they still hate the US after the Cold War
21:47.17ImperiosWe *lost* the Cold War
21:47.24ImperiosSo we are still kind of bitter
21:47.48ImperiosEspecially the older generation
21:48.04Xhohttps://soundcloud.com/turkeychickensandwich/drum-track-groove/s-J3iEG Got drums
21:48.28OluapPlayer_I read that as "Drum Trump Groove" for a second
21:48.31ImperiosWe also treat NATO and EU expansion as dangerous
21:48.33OluapPlayer_make music great again
21:48.39ImperiosTo ourselves that is
21:48.47Xhoaye
21:48.55Technobliteratorhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Settlin_Da_Score#An_Da_Last_Pizza - Loron feels :o
21:49.06OluapPlayer_Yes, chek sad Loron
21:49.47ImperiosAlso we see America supporting revolutions and intervening in warring countries as both imperialistic and hurtful for the entire world
21:50.27ImperiosFor the average Russian, sacrificing stability for democracy is a bad thing
21:50.29OluapPlayer_That's not just Russia
21:50.41OluapPlayer_Plenty of people think that even inside the US
21:50.55DrodoEmpireYeah but the thing with the US is that they don't *really* set up democracies
21:51.13DrodoEmpireHalf the time their putting in dictatorships in replacement of a democratically-elected government
21:51.17DrodoEmpire*they're
21:52.15Imperios^ That
21:52.23DrodoEmpireAnd when they actually try to put in democracy, I get the feeling that's little more than a pretense for other objectives
21:52.48ImperiosBasically half of our actions are because we're afraid of them spurring civil war in OUR place
21:53.06ImperiosHalf of te rationale for invading Ukraine was "fuck, we're next"
21:53.42*** join/#sporewiki TekDroid (~TekDroid@lx02.housing.carleton.ca)
21:54.30MonetInteresting.
21:54.39MonetBut like they say there's two sides ot every story
21:55.25ImperiosThere were several rationales
21:56.12ImperiosFirst of all, the government wanted to restore popularity
21:56.51ImperiosSecond, we feared that the new Ukrainian government would be too unpredictable and radical to work with
21:57.14ImperiosThird, we needed to retain whatever assets we had left in the Ukraine, which is the Crimean fleet
21:57.56ImperiosFourth, with Ukraine wanting to join NATO, we planned to stir shit there so that they could not legally
21:58.35DrodoEmpireWell yeah there were political objectives for sure
21:58.42DrodoEmpireDoesn't mean I agree with the invasion
21:58.47DrodoEmpire:p
21:59.33ImperiosNeither do I
21:59.39ImperiosIt created more problems that is solved
21:59.44DrodoEmpireRight, right
22:00.11ImperiosWe overestimated just how nutty the Ukrainian government was, we could easily resolve the problem with the fleet diplomatically
22:00.44Technobliteratoris Putin popular?
22:00.45ImperiosBasically given the power of Neo-Nazi groups we kind of expected it to turn into a gung-ho ultranationalist state
22:00.58ImperiosWhile in actuality it just became more nationalist
22:01.02ImperiosTechnobliterator: Definitely
22:01.16OluapPlayer_All hail the God-Emperor
22:01.27ImperiosWe may not like the government institutions as a whole but Putin is generally respected
22:02.00ImperiosA LOT of people don't like him, but consider him the best possible option
22:02.49ImperiosI mean, who else would take power if Putin left
22:03.09ImperiosNavalny was only liked by the hipster liberal left
22:04.57ImperiosMy opinion is that he is overrated by both sides
22:05.21ImperiosHe is neither a charismatic god-emperor of Russia
22:05.44ImperiosNor a demonic tyrant as he is portrayed by Western media
22:05.58DrodoEmpireFair enough
22:06.11ImperiosIn fact he is not charismatic at all, he's just a random KGB guy pushed into the position of power
22:06.15ImperiosOnly mildly competent
22:06.44XhoENDLESS POWA
22:06.52ImperiosHe does not have
22:07.21Xhoi wasnt talkin aboot pootin
22:07.31ImperiosAs I said, he lacks the necessary ambition and power to be either a god-emperor or an evil dark lord
22:08.14ImperiosHe's definitely an improvement over the last five leaders we had
22:08.43ImperiosThree old people, the guy who literally destroyed his country, and YELTSIN
22:09.04ImperiosYELTSIN
22:09.04ImperiosE

22:09.18OluapPlayer_sss
22:09.26OluapPlayer_Honestly I know nothing about Putin other than he's in charge of Russia
22:09.36OluapPlayer_Mainly because I know fuckall about politics
22:10.32ImperiosHe was once a KGB spy in Germnay
22:14.05OluapPlayer_http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/065/320/3f0.png Presidency: not even once

22:15.08XhoHe was 46 when he was in office

22:15.57Xho7 years
22:16.02OluapPlayer_Xho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6Sc5ot5lBw nearly forgot to show you this came out
22:16.12MonetI think that's what people sometimes miss when they complain - you don't age that quickly unless you're in perpetual frustration
22:16.53Xho+50 rads
22:17.00MonetStreess is a fact of the job
22:17.20OluapPlayer_ACK ACK ACK
22:17.26ImperiosMonet: Forced capitalism on Russia turning it into a mafia state
22:19.08ImperiosDid nothing to avert it as well
22:20.30ImperiosHachiman: So Aquaman and Khal Drogo really are played by the same guy
22:20.52Xho"Trying to Jarl Ballin'"
22:20.54Xho10/10
22:22.29OluapPlayer_I'd panic at a Radroach swarm
22:22.37HachimanImperios: I knew this for a while
22:22.46HachimanKhal Drogo is perfect for the Aquaman role
22:23.58XhoJason Momoa u fools
22:24.54HachimanI say Momoa is perfect for the Aquaman role because of his Hawaiian heritage
22:34.01XhoHas anyone here got any good places to read about quantum mechanics
22:34.31HachimanI would ask Ghelae and Wormy
22:34.47Xhoboth of which are not here
22:34.51Xhohas failed the mission
22:35.31MonetXho: What do you need to know?
22:35.38MonetMight have some idea.
22:35.41XhoI mean just a general starter point to it
22:36.02XhoMy friend is interested in quantum mechanics so I knew I'd get a good idea where to start here
22:36.40Monethttp://www.livescience.com/33816-quantum-mechanics-explanation.html this might help
22:37.29Hachimaninb4 this friend is a girl and Xho wants to get in her pants
22:37.54XhoThat would be a girl to ask out
22:38.09XhoGranted if I found her attractive
22:38.18XhoWhich is unlikely given any situation
22:38.57OluapPlayer_You all chek Loron fiction
22:39.01OluapPlayer_Hachiman: You especially
22:42.18XhoKicath - translators cannot translate this level of stupid
22:43.08MonetXho: Speaking of Kicath: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:Fiction_Universe/Universal_Discussion_Board#Devastation_on_Alcanti
22:46.28TechnobliteratorI concur with "chek Loron fiction"
22:46.34TechnobliteratorI gave up revision time for that :c
22:47.39XhoHm, I do wonder what the Kicath would make of that
22:49.27Xho"HAO MUCH FOR A BAGUETTE HUMIE LOSA"
22:49.29Xho#Loron
22:49.51HachimanCoincidentally as I am reading the Loron fiction
22:49.54HachimanI am eating pizza
22:51.17XhoThe Kicath would probably remain far from Alcanti, any investigation they'd take would probably cause the Draconis more concern than relief
22:53.48HachimanSurprisingly very emotional for a Loron-centric piece
22:53.58HachimanLoron fiction actually is quite emotional for some reason hur
22:54.51HachimanI do love the dynamic between Jol'kiar and Fre'kloar; it really adds a lot to their character
22:55.49MonetXho: Probably not. France is already sending a battleship to provide relief
22:56.00XhoKicath - FUCKING HUMANS
22:56.58MonetOr they could perhaps work with RAIDS
22:57.58TechnobliteratorYup, we tried to make it sentimental and still funny at the same time! Thanks for feedback ^.^
22:58.31Xhohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEsZkTTgydc This is how I imagine a Draconis would get arrested
