00:00.02OluapPlayer"helped"
00:00.04AdmiralPandawell, not everyone, but that was the gist of the plan
00:00.31TechnobliteratorUNO turned Borealis around twice. Once for the better, once for the worse.
00:00.42XhoOluapPlayer: In the general Kicathian sense of splash damage extraordinares
00:00.52OluapPlayerThey didn't do anything major
00:00.52AdmiralPandaand the best bit is, nobody said anything afterwards because they knew the Fordanta were the Fordanta
00:01.01OluapPlayerAt least not on-screen
00:01.04Xhoc
00:01.19OluapPlayerIf something happened off-screen it needs to go thru me first
00:01.44XhoWell I imagine their councillor status in the PCA has helped improve the economy/security and stuff
00:01.45OluapPlayerAnd as far as I'm aware, all they did since they arrived is look rude and contribute 2 people to a war
00:01.48MonetWhat was allowing agents to police the galaxy?
00:02.05XhoMonet: If the Agents are policing Borealis, it's not PCA-sanctioned
00:02.28TechnobliteratorPretty sure the Kicath were involved in the fight against Regnatus, no?
00:02.33MonetAlso I'd coutn setting up a GITO trade capital as helping.
00:02.41XhoTechnobliterator: Tau and Nu
00:02.43OluapPlayerOnly 2 Kicath were in the war
00:02.59OluapPlayerSo they ddin't really contribute at all
00:03.06TechnobliteratorThe entire war? Can't we retcon them to have been in it more :o
00:03.48OluapPlayerThe PCA puts all responsibility on the Agents on the Kicathian Remnant. If they can't control them, that's not the overall PCA's problem
00:04.15XhoNu - I'M THE VERY MODEL OF A MODERN MAJOR GENERAL
00:04.52MonetSo Agent permission boils down to "If there aer any problems its' the Kicaths' fault"
00:04.58AdmiralPandaI can honestly imagine that song (in parody) being an unofficial thing citizens of the ANZR sing the moment they see anyone british
00:04.59XhoBasically
00:05.16OluapPlayerAgents are treated as Remnant citizens
00:05.43XhoThe Kicathian government has taken more measures to control the Agents considering three of them are rogue and two of them are essence-pumped
00:06.34XhoThat and Kithworto as a councillor generally indicates that Agents aren't going to tempt fate
00:07.59XhoThough the Remnant generally treats the Agents as a unique body that aren't bound to Kicathian laws, though the Remnant are touchy on galactic laws nowadays
00:08.30XhoThe Agency themselves are slowly acclimatising to having to work under galactic scrutiny, it's not something they like to live with
00:08.43XhoOr even intergalactic scrutiny
00:09.33MonetTo be fair on the Remnant's expansion, the DI is like 10 million systems and is going toe-to-toe with the DCP
00:09.39OluapPlayerIf they want to serve as a law force in the PCA, they have to apply to the Aegis Guard
00:10.07OluapPlayerBeing an Agent would probably get you a higher chance of being accepted on the basis that all Agents have experience in combat
00:10.49OluapPlayerBut the mere fact that you're an Agent doesn't get you free will to shoot everyone you meet by the PCA's laws
00:11.02XhoNu - y tho
00:12.01XhoWhilst it would be logical to serve under the PCA body, the Agents would generally assume it means they'd be subject to accountability
00:13.16XhoThe anonymity of the Agents is their primary attribute, also why the Gigaquadrant tends to seem as a bunch of superpowered psychopaths
00:13.40OluapPlayerThat is one reason they're not recognized as law enforcers
00:14.51XhoKithworto doesn't really want them to be law enforcers either, since they're actually not designed to be law enforcers
00:15.28OluapPlayerThrow them all at the Loron
00:15.31OluapPlayerWhoever loses, the PCA wins
00:16.00XhoMost of their operations are solely in the Remnant's interests, though of course the Agents have acted in Gigaquadrantic interest more than once
00:16.34MonetI suppose that's also when the Remnant's interests align with everyoen elses'
00:16.54XhoMost of the time they do as they are there to maintain order
00:17.00XhoThough not in a very subtle manner
00:17.27XhoAnd being politically indiscriminate they'd have no problem in going against the Remnant if it required them to do so

00:18.43ExternalHi
00:20.29XhoIt does make me wonder whether the Aegis Guard has a presence in Remnant territory
00:20.39XhoHi
00:20.41OluapPlayerIt doesn't
00:20.51OluapPlayerThey only work in conjoined territories like Hyperborea

02:00.41DrodoEmpireNo problem
02:07.27DrodoEmpireAnyway, thoughts?
02:07.37MonetDrodoEMpire: Can the Imperium ahve an embassy? or would it be closed for now?
02:07.49DrodoEmpireThat'd be fine, sure
02:08.23DrodoEmpireJivirik may not be a fan of either side in the Xonexi conflict, but he's only really hostile towards France
02:08.33DrodoEmpireWhile you're at it could you remove the French embassy?
02:08.49DrodoEmpireThe state it represented no longer exists. :p

12:10.21OluapPlayerHi
12:56.14Technobliteratordumbo
12:56.51TechnobliteratorOf course, this game had to throw another bug at me - I can't get the side op required for wormhole fultons : |
12:59.46Technobliteratoroh, I asked on reddit and they just said that I have to beat the Quiet mission seven times back to back instead of just incrementally doing it
12:59.51Technobliteratorthat's where I went wrong I guess?
13:00.31OluapPlayerEh I don't know, I never heard of that
13:00.49TechnobliteratorOf wormhole fultons or the back-to-back requirement?
13:01.10DarcySupremestThey fixed that exploit where you could cheese the Quiet duel
13:01.15OluapPlayerBack to back
13:01.17DarcySupremestwhich makes that option much less pallatable
13:01.35Technobliteratoroh right
13:01.40TechnobliteratorI'll just try it tonight or something
13:08.45DarcySupremestSo
13:08.47DarcySupremestall done
13:09.16DarcySupremestfor those interested, my outline for my new empire is complete if anybody cares to read it?
13:09.28HachimanSure
13:11.37DarcySupremesthttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1hqXjFcwHxvUcbBDUxzh6dwwT0is3R89LxKukx_iXCCs/edit
13:11.45DarcySupremestApologies for spelling and grammar mistakes
13:15.09HachimanSo in basic, the Voidborn are a combination of the Tau and Necrons
13:17.07DarcySupremestNecrons are more accurate
13:17.25HachimanI say Tau because of the coalition-centric nature of the Voidbirn
13:17.29HachimanVoidborn even
13:17.32DarcySupremestOh yeah derp
13:17.40DarcySupremestI was like "Where is he getting Tau from"
13:17.52DarcySupremestWarhammer has began to effect me on a subconcious level
13:17.58DarcySupremestThis is probably not good
13:18.08HachimanOn all levels except physical, I am Warhammer 40kin
13:18.21Hachiman[HERESY]
13:20.23DarcySupremestI am a duplicitous system
13:20.28DarcySupremestof 40k
13:20.31DarcySupremestand my self
13:21.53AdmiralPandathere's nothing wrong with having 40k in you
13:21.58DarcySupremestBut yeah, I went for bad guys again, because having an empire the more Lawful good empries can go to war with guilt should make the meta game more interesting
13:22.00DarcySupremestI mean...
13:22.05DarcySupremestIs better storywise...
13:22.07DarcySupremestand stuff.

13:23.50MonetHi
13:24.01HachimanHi
13:24.04DarcySupremestHeyo Monet
13:24.48DarcySupremestI should offer the draft to you also Monet if you've got the time
13:24.55DarcySupremestI'm just looking for opinions on it
13:25.03MonetOkay
13:26.23DarcySupremesthttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1hqXjFcwHxvUcbBDUxzh6dwwT0is3R89LxKukx_iXCCs/edit
13:27.04DarcySupremestApologies for it being a rough mess but
13:27.17DarcySupremestI'm too lazy to proofread a draft in any detail
13:29.43MonetTo quote John Green: Nine hundred millino years is a long-ass time.
13:30.47DarcySupremestIt was going to be shorter and then I realized the history of the wikiverse is huge
13:31.19DarcySupremestthe idea was just that they come from a time where everybody would have forgotten about them
13:31.35DarcySupremestand all of the current major players wouldn't have any idea who they were
13:31.50DarcySupremestand why these strange robots are currently digging around on their colonies looking for space junk
13:32.19HachimanThe oldest mortal empires are not much more than 10,000 years old barring the Dracogonarious
13:33.27MonetI think I considered after you left if the Singularity would lead ot humans becoming robots.
13:33.27MonetI aimagine osme sort of synthesis. But that's merely my opinion.
13:33.53Monet(and by synthesis I Mean something more than "humans put themselves into Terminator bodies"
13:34.11DarcySupremestIt comes out of an idea I had for a real story that like
13:34.17DarcySupremestI never had any idea how to make it a real story
13:34.36HachimanMost stories are not real hur
13:34.39DarcySupremestit was just a concept floating around of a post singularity race realizing that they're not actually immortals
13:35.09DarcySupremestand when your concept of time is "Oh man 10,000 years is nothing" entropy would be like
13:35.12DarcySupremesta real issue
13:35.37Monet"The Grim War" sounds like a pun on rrimoire.
13:35.54Monetgrimoire*
13:36.14DarcySupremestso it is
13:36.18DarcySupremestthat went right over my head
13:39.20MonetRegarding what woke them up though, maybe the Shattering in ANdromeda?
13:40.07MonetAndromeda was essentially 'cracked' by hyperspace fissures.
13:40.37DarcySupremestThat actually fits very well
13:41.00DarcySupremestSomething enormous was what knocked them around in hyperspace
13:41.07DarcySupremestand that was a huge event
13:41.10DarcySupremestso it fits
13:46.07DarcySupremestBut yeah as I said before, I think playing the intergalactic boogeymen could be fun for the meta game
13:46.31DarcySupremesta lot of other users would probably welcome a "bad guy" with no real like
13:46.35DarcySupremestmoral qualms
13:46.37HachimanXhodocto kinda already fit the narrative of bogeymen though
13:46.51DarcySupremestyeah but like, you can't really fight them
13:47.08DarcySupremestbecause they're uncomprihensible species of nightmares and suffering
13:48.08MonetThe boogeyman's not as scary if you know you can kill him
13:48.52DarcySupremest>Implying I couldn't kill the boogeyman
13:48.53MonetAlso "bad guy with no moral qualms" has been done  lot tbh.
13:49.20DarcySupremestThat is also very true
13:49.35DarcySupremestBut I dunno if the "Moral Grey Area" thing  works
13:49.48DarcySupremestbecause Wormy is essnetially doing that with the DCP right?
13:50.04HachimanDCP does have some good characters
13:50.26DarcySupremestI could focus on the whole
13:50.38DarcySupremest"Science at the cost of saftey thing"
13:50.49DarcySupremestThat they're not evil
13:51.05DarcySupremestthey just do whatever is neccessary to get their shit back
13:51.12DarcySupremestso they can continue work finally
13:51.20MonetPerhaps that could work
13:51.29DarcySupremestand if that means just going in and taking it, or playing nice so be it
13:51.42DarcySupremestthey just want their relics back
13:52.23DarcySupremestMake them sort of a Victor Frankenstein homage
13:52.44DarcySupremesteg "Is it a good idea to try make this Cataclysm happen again."
13:53.08DarcySupremest"Do we really know if this will end well, and do they care if it does."
13:54.36HachimanOh God I just found a horrifying spell from the Ultimate Magic book for Pathfinder
13:54.53HachimanA 9th Lvl spell called Transmute Blood to Acid
13:55.02AdmiralPandaoh yeah that one's pretty nasty
13:56.26Hachiman"If this damage reduces the creature to 0 or fewer hit points, it dissolves, leaving only the barest trace of remains."
13:56.38Hachiman"Anyone who strikes the target with a non-reach melee weapon, natural weapon, or unarmed attack takes 3d6 points of acid damage as the acidic blood sprays on the attacker. If the attack is from a piercing or slashing manufactured weapon, the weapon also takes this damage."
13:56.43HachimanThe target becomes a walking sack of acid
13:57.08AdmiralPandayou haven't lived until an evil sorcerer casts that on an underling and turns them into a walking acid bomb
13:57.16AdmiralPandaand then sends that bomb at you
13:58.09DarcySupremestSounds like 3rd edition to me
13:58.20AdmiralPandaPathfinder was a rework of 3.5
13:58.21DarcySupremestI wonder if that is still in 5e
13:58.30DarcySupremestyeah
13:58.44DarcySupremestWas it? I was told it was just 3.5 edition
13:58.47DarcySupremestand it was a creator split
13:59.00AdmiralPanda3.5 is its own thing
13:59.01DarcySupremestbecause Wizards wanted to make 4th edition more streamlined or something
13:59.16MonetNo one talsk about 4thed
13:59.31Monettalks*
13:59.31DarcySupremestand half of the writers were old guards who browse /tg/
14:00.14HachimanOh wow
14:00.24HachimanBut yes, 4th Edition does not exist
14:00.33AdmiralPandaPaizo publishing used to manage the magazines Dungeon and Dragon, when they got wind of what was happening with 4th they made their own rework of 3.5
14:00.49DarcySupremestAh, that makes sense
14:02.00AdmiralPandaHachiman: On the subject earlier of pathfinder discouraging multiclassing, it's not so much that as the lead designer thought the classes lacked incentive to stay in one up until 20
14:02.29HachimanHm I suppose that is fair
14:08.44AdmiralPandaI didn't know the actual reason myself, I just wikipedia'd it :P
14:19.00Hachiman"Before you die, there is something you should know about us, Lone Star." "What?" "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate." "What's that make us?" "Absolutely nothing. Which is what you are about to become."

14:43.25MonetBut he wants to be Darth Vader though
14:43.38HachimanHe *wants* to be Darth Vader but the important fact is that he *isn't*
14:44.04WormydroidHe is in a process of self-discovery
14:44.44MonetWormy has a point actually
14:45.01MonetYes he throws tantrums...but that might jsut mean he is quite in touch with his emotions.
14:45.03MonetSomething the Sith strive for.
14:45.25HachimanI think I actually prefer Kylo Ren's gradual and more subtle character development to Rey's more dramatic and immediate development
14:46.18HachimanNot to say that I do not like Rey but I find it ridiculous that she can tap into the more adept-level powers of the Force despite just discovering she had these powers and is able to rival Kylo Ren despite herself being a noob while he is a former-Padawan
14:46.45MonetI'm not sure I liked Rey's reasons for staying.
14:46.58Moneton Jakku
14:47.19HachimanEven Luke required outside training and took a lot longer to access and master his Force powers than Rey who seems to do it in one movie
14:48.25MonetIt might have been intentional but Rey's situation sounded comparable to "Dad went to the store to get some bacon 20 years ago and I'm waiting till he comes back."
14:48.39HachimanI am still convinced that she is connected to Obi-Wan rather than Luke
14:48.48AdmiralPandathat's because that's exactly what it was :P
14:49.42HachimanShe demonstrated the Jedi mind trick which is more iconic of Kenobi than it is with Skywalker
14:49.54HachimanEven though she should not have known how to fucking do that ugh
14:50.11MonetYay more Chosen One bullshit!
14:50.35HachimanAt least she is a literal midichlorian Jesus like Anakin was
14:50.41HachimanNot even
14:50.45HachimanFuck
14:50.50AdmiralPandato be fair, back in the day you used to have plenty of people who could subconsciously use the force, even supposedly higher powers like mind reading
14:52.09AdmiralPandaI do find it somewhat BS that she was able to out-mindfuck Kylo, but using a force suggestion I wouldn't entirely put beyond her
14:52.51HachimanThe reason why I hate her Force suggestion trick is because how the fuck would she have known she could use the Force to do that if she does not have any previous experience with the Force up until that day
14:53.11AdmiralPandashe's heard the stories
14:53.25MonetI think this also might be the first time Force Mindfuck has been usedi n the films.
14:53.42MonetDarth Vader did it in VI but he didn't need to pass a brick to do it.
14:53.45AdmiralPandaMonet: Darth Vader read Luke's mind in VI
14:54.12MonetI just said.
14:54.27AdmiralPandawe were typing that literally at teh same time :P
14:54.52MonetYeah fair point
14:55.21MonetMy point still stands - From the sound of his voice Vader didn't look like he was straining when he did it.
14:55.29AdmiralPandayeah I get your point
14:56.24HachimanIf Snoke is not Plagueis and is just some random Sith Lord who went into hiding then I know *I* am going to shit a brick
14:57.02AdmiralPandaif Snoke is Plagueis then Palpatine is a twat
14:57.21MonetYeah
14:58.15MonetDidn't follow the Sith rules properly.
14:58.29AdmiralPandamore importantly he's a liar about something he has no reason to lie about
14:58.53HachimanUnless Palpatine did not know Plagueis was still around
14:59.14Monet"I killed my master in his sleep...I think"
14:59.49HachimanBut then Palpatine has always been a manipulative liar
15:00.04Cyrannianhttp://fandom.wikia.com/articles/who-is-supreme-leader-snoke/ - The last theory is the more likely explanation
15:00.34MonetWhy would he lie about his own master's death though?
15:01.27MonetAll that accomplishes is that Palpatine is a lesser Sith than PLagueis.
15:01.28HachimanBecause then it would mean there is no one stronger than Palpatine for Anakin to feel he should follow
15:03.24HachimanI am not so fond of the idea of Snoke being a character who existed outside of the galaxy; that makes the setting feel much smaller than it really is
15:04.18MonetThey better not be implying he's a Vong
15:04.45MonetHe's ugly enough, but then how oculd eh train Kylo to master the force?
15:05.17HachimanVong are Legend canon
15:06.04HachimanI actually think I like Kylo Ren more than I do Rey; although Poe and Finn are still my favourites hur
15:06.08MonetDisney did say that they would use it to cherru-pick ideas from.
15:06.41MonetThey already did that with Kylo Ren
15:07.40WormydroidOne thing I did wonder was why the New Republic was being complacent, they might have been preparing for a different threat
15:08.36HachimanThey probably did not know about the existence of Starkiller Base
15:08.46HachimanSo they did not treat the First Order as a major threat
15:09.02CyrannianThe only thing I didn't like about the movie was that it essentially returned the galaxy to the original trilogy status quo
15:09.12HachimanYeah
15:09.15HachimanThat was dumb
15:09.27MonetVery dumb.
15:09.41HachimanI honestly would have liked to have seen the Empire's remnants fight among one another like some sorta Post-Imperial civil war
15:09.54CyrannianUnless the Republic wasn't actually destroyed completely, which would make sense since why would you have your entire fleet in the one system
15:10.02MonetTalk about using the new trilogy as a restart button.
15:10.17HachimanRather than having Empire 2: Dark Side Boogaloo vs. the Republic / Resistance once again
15:11.16CyrannianI hope that the next movie quietly does away with the Resistance and makes Leia the leader of what's left of the Republic
15:12.03HachimanI am not so against the idea of the Resistance and the Republic co-existing; the Republic is like a first nation state backing rebels in war-torn territory
15:12.25HachimanI am just against the idea of how little progress was made for those outside of the First Order
15:12.51WormydroidThey either sound complacent, struggling, or preparing for some other threat, to me
15:13.32MonetThe quality of the city that got blown up makes me think the Republic's almost as bad as before.
15:13.55CyrannianI'm not fond of the repeat of plucky rebels against the evil regime theme
15:14.02MonetThe First ORder, by the looks of it, hit a pretty wealthy part of the Republic.
15:14.20HachimanI really hope that Episode VIII is not going to harken back to ESB as much as TFA did to ANH
15:14.29HachimanI want it to sort of stand on its own
15:14.55WormydroidI think it will
15:15.01CyrannianI think the New Republic in the new canon was a better republic than the old, instead of settling on Coruscant, it hosted the senate on a rotating basis so that each member world has an equal say
15:15.06HachimanI know that doing what they did with TFA was kind of to ease audiences in into believing this was another Star Wars film and the start of something new
15:15.39WormydroidAnd I'd rather that Rey's storyline is something new, rather than a continuation of the Chosen One theme, because that story finished
15:16.20MonetI say the Republic might be almost as bad as the old because again, fore planets got blown up by a Death Star like weapon and where is the Republic navy?
15:16.50HachimanHonestly, what I would like to happen is for Rey to find and get tutored by Mace Windu after he survived getting thrown out of that window by Palpatine
15:16.55MonetWhere aer these fleets that admiral guy talked about?
15:17.05Wormydroidyeah

15:17.59MonetCyrannian: No guarentee those are warships. And there was no sign of Republic response
15:18.10HachimanSo Mortalagueis is Zillum's replacement
15:18.23HachimanHe has a fair bit of reputation to live up to hur
15:18.46CyrannianIt is stated in the film and the novel that the fleet was in the Hosnian system when it was destroyed
15:18.48MonetIf Poe is part of Rogue Squadron then I might be okay.
15:19.23Monet...as in al lthe Republic's fleet?
15:19.37Cyrannianhttp://www.slashfilm.com/star-wars-the-force-awakens-novelization/ - I certainly hope not
15:19.42CyrannianBut that's the implication
15:20.14MonetBetter not be or else this new Republic is grossly incompetent
15:21.13CyrannianIt's probably more of a science fiction writers have no sense of scale trope, since other books show Republic military outposts all across the galaxy, so having the fleet in one system makes no sense
15:21.20MonetEither that or in sending Leia they left their military deprived of by far their best general.
15:21.50MonetThe "Ord" planets were outposts yeah.
15:22.18Cyrannianhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaOSCASqLsE - Kylo Ren undercover boss
15:22.59MonetMaybe there was a deleted scene of Leia being told by the Republic Senate of how its responding to Starkiller's damage
15:24.20CyrannianOh there is, one in which Leia sends the woman seen on the balcony during the Starkiller scene to talk to the Senate about sending military support
15:24.41OluapPlayerMortalalala needs quotos
15:25.28HachimanHow do you even pronounce Mortalagueis' name hur
15:26.07OluapPlayerLike how it's written
15:26.48OluapPlayerHe's not really a replacement to Zillum. He's not any higher ranking than the other admirals, while Zillum was the supreme boss leader of the Navy
15:26.53Cyrannianhur you were just talking about Plagueis, there's a clue
15:27.10OluapPlayerIf any of them has a rank like that today, I imagine it's Carandial
15:28.26CyrannianHe'd be the most respected and his word would carry the most weight, yes

16:55.50XhoANOTHER SETTLEMENT NEEDS YOUR HELP
16:57.20MonetI remember in AJ's review he substituted the companions' talking with the sound of ckucking chickens.
16:57.25XhoSo it looks like Celine Dion is cursed
16:57.34XhoBoth her husband and brother have died of cancer
16:58.30AdmiralPanda1/3 of people in the western world will have a close family member affected by cancer
16:59.03XhoBut that's 2/3

17:02.41AdmiralPandaone in three people will have a close family member affected by cancer. I have more than four people in my close fucking family
17:03.22XhoAh
17:09.25XhoUnfortunately I can't be sympathetic towards family illnesses since I have a vehement hatred for most of my family
17:09.48HachimanI can since my sister suffers from a couple of life-threatening and / or crippling illnesses
17:10.07HachimanSome strain of lupus and fibromyalgia in particular
17:12.36XhoMy sister has psoriasis but it doesn't seem to affect her so much nowadays
17:13.03HachimanMy sister is pregnant again and we are all quite nervous about how it is going to go
17:13.39HachimanWhat with the fact lupus effectively means that her immune system registers herself as a hostile foreign organism
17:13.49HachimanLet alone an actual foreign organism
17:14.01XhoHostile foreign organism
17:14.09Xhofucking totalitarian disease
17:15.25XhoUsually I'm glad that the rest of my family has drama, makes me feel better about my life
17:15.44XhoRelatively safe but man is it bleak
17:16.03HachimanI'm usually not because my folks, particularly my stepdad, projects his drama onto me
17:16.29HachimanHe likes to invalidate me because of the fact he is ex-military and make me feel like shit

17:39.14The_RandomnessOnce I'm out of this dungeon, sure
17:39.18Charles_Murray_Do we have everyone here?
17:39.32TekDroidCharles_Murray: Busy for the next 4-5 hours
17:39.40Monet_2Maybe a little later. Was playing civ earlier today
17:40.14TekDroidI'm out until later today unfortunately
17:40.29AdmiralPandathe question is, has Gandhi nuked everyone yet/
17:40.42Charles_Murray_We haven't had a Gandhi
17:41.05TekDroid<PROTECTED>
17:41.16XhoIs Gandhi's nuke thing some sort of inadvertent game mechanic or is it just purely a meme
17:41.22TekDroidActually none of our games have even reached Industrial IIRC
17:41.42TekDroidXho: The Gandhi thing was a bug originially
17:41.58TekDroidThen they rolled with it
17:42.28ImperiosBasically Gandhi's basic peacefulness level in Civ I was so low
17:42.42TekDroidBasically a bug so on a scale of 1-10 Gandhi's readiness to nuke you was like... 254
17:42.44ImperiosActually wait
17:42.56ImperiosLet me explain furhter
17:43.13ImperiosBasically Gandhi's AI had a very low warmongering score, so it would be mostly peaceful
17:43.29ImperiosHowever during the modern age, when nukes were developed
17:43.40ImperiosIt went even lower, to the point it became a -1
17:43.47ImperiosThe game basically treated -1 as infinity
17:43.51Monet_2BAck in Civ I Gandhi had an aggression level of 1. However the establishment of democracy would reduce the aggressiveness of the AI that adopted it
17:43.52XhoOh god
17:43.53ImperiosDo th e math
17:44.00Xhohttp://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/830/217/168.gif
17:44.05AdmiralPandanot infinity, 255 (256 minus 1)
17:44.12TekDroidImperios: Not quite. It caused an overflow
17:44.19The_Randomnessyeah
17:44.21AdmiralPandabut that's still 255 on a scale of 1 to 10
17:44.22ImperiosPRetty much yeah
17:44.27XhoSo basically a programming error
17:44.32The_RandomnessStarting up my game now
17:44.33ImperiosYep
17:44.42Xhogg 255
17:44.43The_Randomnessoh woops
17:44.45Monet_2These days the bug was so popular Gandhi is hardcoded to be hyper-aggressive.
17:44.47The_RandomnessNot yet I take it
17:45.07Monet_2In V Gandhi's aggression level is 12. On a 1-10 scale
17:45.08The_RandomnessSince tek is busy and stuff
17:45.11The_RandomnessBack to FFXIV
17:45.41ImperiosI do not think I will be available after 4 hours

17:49.10AdmiralPandaof course the hilarious thing is India is such a terrible civ for war
17:49.13Monet_2What's the Celts' bonus again?
17:50.27XhoI'd imagine India is either a cultural or science-orientated civ
17:50.28ImperiosFaith from religion
17:50.30AdmiralPandain 5? they get faith from having forest near cities
17:50.31ImperiosXho: Culture
17:50.33Monet_2I'm currently in a game where Boudicca is currently building everything
17:50.35Xhowhoo
17:50.36ImperiosFGaith from forests
17:50.52ImperiosThey're basically one of the two civs that are guaranteed to get a religion first
17:50.56ImperiosThem and Ethiopians
17:51.03Tek0516Pretty much
17:51.09AdmiralPandanot really guaranteed, and you forgot Maya
17:51.11Tek0516What's Ethiopia's?
17:51.37AdmiralPandaEthiopia gets combat bonuses against civs with more cities, but their shrine gives 2 faith instead o 1
17:51.39AdmiralPandaof*
17:51.50XhoI remember the game we were playing when I was Aztecs, I got religion like 10 turns in
17:52.01ImperiosAdmiralPanda: That's the Maya
17:52.16ImperiosEthiopians have normal shrines but their monument gives faith
17:52.32ImperiosSo basically they have faith nearly from the beginning
17:52.41Tek0516ah
17:52.54ImperiosMayans are good at faith too but they would still need to do research to get their bonus
17:53.07AdmiralPandathe first research that everyone does though
17:53.29AdmiralPandaand usually monuments are mid-late classical buildings with the exception of if you're playing a really greedy ethiopia build
17:53.52ImperiosMonuments are available from the start
17:53.59Hachiman"If I wanted humour, I would just stick a microphone up your mom's vagina since the last thing that came out of it was a joke."
17:54.08AdmiralPandathere's a difference between it being available and when you build it
17:54.27Imperiosyeah but as Ethiopia you build it first to get faith
17:54.31Imperios...Wait
17:54.46ImperiosAm I the only person who builds monument first
17:54.54AdmiralPandasure, technically you can just left click it at the start of the game, but if you do that then everyone else has either gone two scout shrine or one scout granary shrine
17:55.23AdmiralPandaso you lose a LOT of early game
17:55.41ImperiosI should try that
17:56.40Tek0516I always go monument first
17:57.15XhoHow exactly does Civ V get all these languages sorted in their cutscenes
17:57.15The_RandomnessI think I typically go something like scout -> granary or something like that
17:57.17ImperiosBuilding a monument gives a lot of culture, which allows for very early social policies though
17:57.23The_RandomnessI think I did something different this game though
17:57.24ImperiosXho: As in
17:57.41The_RandomnessI think I got a monument earlier than I typically do
17:57.46XhoPhoenician
17:57.58AdmiralPandait gives a lot of culture, but it also sets back your early gold and scouting/growth
17:58.03XhoAnd Ancient Egyptian
17:58.35ImperiosIt does not use Ancient Egyptian
17:58.43ImperiosRamesses speaks in the Egyptian dialect of Arabic
17:58.49Xho0/10 AWFUL
17:58.57Tek0516I generally rush it first so I can get the social policies and extra city tiles faster
17:59.03ImperiosXho: You mean
17:59.05Imperios10/10 HALAL
17:59.13Xho10/10 HARAM
17:59.32AdmiralPandaextra city tiles aren't that important if you don't have people to work them
17:59.36ImperiosAs for Phoenician I think it is very similar to hebrew
17:59.40ImperiosAdmiralPanda: True
17:59.42Tek0516Mostly the policies
17:59.53XhoAs a semitic language it would make sense
18:00.07Tek0516<PROTECTED>
18:00.34ImperiosSo basically the developers asked a scholar to write the script and simply handed it to some Jewish actress
18:00.42ImperiosWho spoke it with her normal Hebrew pronounciation
18:00.57The_RandomnessI always go for tradition
18:01.10XhoI do hope that Montezuma is speaking Nahuatl though
18:01.26XhoI guess so since ximicacan
18:01.44AdmiralPandaI suppose if you're going liberty an early monument is a thing
18:01.55HachimanI would have thought Nahuatl was a dead language nobody knew
18:02.11AdmiralPandathough straight out the door monument is a little risky
18:02.18Monet_2Or what he's speaking is a guess at how it sounds.
18:02.38XhoNahuatl is still spoken
18:03.03XhoSays here around 1.5 million people still speak it
18:04.36XhoWhat about the Assyrians
18:05.33AdmiralPandathey die a lot
18:05.58AdmiralPandathey also take a tech known by a civilisation when they capture a city of that civilisation, but nobody lets them do that so yeah
18:06.41Monet_2WOerd
18:06.44XhoAssyrians get rushed
18:06.57Monet_2I was playing a game earlier and Assyrians were dominating England
18:07.16AdmiralPandathat would be AI and the AI is retarded
18:07.24AdmiralPandabecause in no world does England lose to Assyria
18:07.31Monet_2True...
18:09.15Monet_2England looked to have the short end of the stick
18:09.26XhoHm I wonder what language they use for the Assyrians and Babylonians
18:09.38XhoNebuchadnezzar is raspier than a Ghoul
18:09.40Monet_2By the time I had found England London had been occupied and their only other city was York.
18:10.11Monet_2I think that raspiness might be a sign of his madness.
18:11.17AdmiralPandaEngland is without doubt one of hte best civs in the game
18:11.39Monet_2Though York was surrounded by tundra.
18:11.43XhoI've heard things about England going full Britannia on those who don't accept their trade agreements
18:12.39AdmiralPandaEngland just goes full Britannia period
18:13.17AdmiralPandathey're also impossible to attack in hte medieval era
18:13.26AdmiralPandaeven worse than the chinese
18:14.25Monet_2"WOuld you be interested in a trade agreement with England? Oh. No? Then say hello to St. George for me!"
18:17.00XhoSo the Mesopotamian kingdoms spoke Akkadian right through the 29th century - 8th century BC
18:17.05XhoDid not really know that
18:18.11XhoAnd then still used up until 100 AD
18:18.26XhoMan the Assyrians and Babylonians kept their culture strong
18:18.30XhoUntil the Persians of course
18:30.32AdmiralPandaan airstrike just hit an IS cash vault, potentially destroying millions of dollars

19:25.52ImperiosOr a good civ overall for that matter
19:26.01AdmiralPandadiplomatic it's meh
19:26.17AdmiralPandaPersia is better suited to cultural or military victory
19:26.59AdmiralPandaas far as good/bad, it's certainly a good one
19:27.04ImperiosRight

19:30.46The_RandomnessI haven't played enough civ to say much
19:31.05The_RandomnessThe ones I have the most experience with are Austria and Korea, more so the latter though
19:31.31The_RandomnessCurrently feeling out Korea though
19:31.42ImperiosKorea is a top tier civ
19:32.18The_RandomnessI was terrorizing our civ group as Austria
19:32.20The_Randomnesslel
19:32.33AdmiralPandathat's because nobody has fun when there's an Austria, not even Austria
19:32.50The_RandomnessAustria: not even once ?
19:32.51ImperiosAustria and Korea are both very high-tier

19:33.13ImperiosSCIENCE
19:33.16The_Randomnessyeah I know that
19:33.26The_RandomnessBut what is it explicitly, too lazy to google it atm
19:33.26ImperiosWhenever you build something science-related, you instantly recieve science
19:33.30The_Randomnessah
19:33.41ImperiosSo you get techs very quickly
19:34.00ImperiosWhen you build a Great Library for example you recieve enough science for another free technology, so its effect is doubled
19:35.20The_RandomnessSo, GL rush is good if you're playing grorious Korea?
19:37.13ImperiosYep
19:37.14ImperiosGL
19:37.21ImperiosGL is GLorious
19:37.54ImperiosRussia is good but Russia starts in shit territory
19:38.10The_RandomnessIsn't Russia's thing production?
19:38.22Monet_2Russia - We expand with potato farms!

19:48.42ImperiosThe_Randomness: Yes but it starts in tundra
19:48.53The_Randomnessouch
19:49.06Monet_2Imperios: That was the joke I tried to convey.
19:50.12Monet_2Russia is cold and harsh and the common Western joke is the people live off potatoes. Even though the southern regions have things like mangroves.

21:38.50XhoI imagine the only entities that will truthfully understand Kithworto's intentions are those on a similar wavelength to him
21:40.05MonetThe problem isn't so much Kithworto's intentions as it is who he happens to be dealign with.
21:40.37MonetNo one trusts Tyromarion as a universal protector outside of the Empire and it's protectorates.
21:41.08XhoKithworto - and i fukn saved all of ur asses moar than once and u still dunt trust me
21:41.40*** join/#sporewiki Tybusen (44055b82@gateway/web/freenode/ip.68.5.91.130)
21:41.55OpelSpeedsterMonet: Though that's helped because Tyromairon acts in a very mysterious and shady way. Dressing in dark colours and speaking deeply doesn't make you look very favourable.
21:42.13XhoKithworto - scuse me
21:42.37XhoI did think that Kithworto might be seen as a second Tyromairon from an extreme point of view
21:42.57OpelSpeedsterYeah, both are shady, though I don't know much about Kithworto.
21:43.23XhoKithworto honestly has no intention of actively aiding anyone since the Kicath's political position puts them into a place of neutrality to everything
21:43.54XhoKithworto is basically a professional Xhodocto puncher
21:44.24XhoHis dealings in politics do go beyond basic ethics and morality
21:47.24XhoThough the hidden agenda between Tyromairon and Kithworto is that as long as they cooperate, neither of them will suffer for it
21:48.04MonetEveryone's more worried about Tyro's not-so-secret agenda.
21:48.19XhoTrue
21:49.06XhoThe Kicath's neutrality affirm the fact that they won't support nor oppose the actions of the Empire, or anyone else for that matter unless it risks widespread catastrophe
21:49.36XhoThe Kicath are basically Spore Switzerland
21:50.22MonetSwitzerland tends ot avoid alliances or binding pacts that drag it into something though.
21:50.46XhoThe Kicath won't particpate in war unless it's absolutely necessary
21:51.53XhoBut yeah the Foreign Minister has his work cut out for him now
21:52.19XhoThe Remnant didn't officially sanction an alliance
21:52.32MonetTo put it lightly.
21:53.55OpelSpeedsterHow'd the Kicath respond if they felt like they were being pressured to pick a side in a conflict, however?
21:54.45XhoThe Kicath would still withdraw from conflict, though in the case of their oldest allies they'd probably make an exception
21:54.57XhoAnd if the conflict was brought to Borealis
21:57.06CyrannianThey are in the same position as the DCP with regard to the Empire and the Republic. If war ever breaks out, they'd be neutral due to their strong ties to both.
21:57.17XhoIndeed
21:57.41XhoThe Kicath's unique position is because of the only thing they really deem a threat to Gigaquadrantic safety, and that would be the Dominion
21:58.20XhoThe Kicath's logic is that everyone has a different sense of order but everyone has the same sense of catastrophic annihilation
21:58.55*** join/#sporewiki Tek0516 (~TekDroid@24.114.88.177)
22:00.03Tek0516So is anyone still interested in playing Civ?
22:00.32XhoThe Kicath have a rather malleable sense of order and they appreciate both the ideas of democracy and totalitarianism, since they have practiced both in the past but now lean towards democracy due to their highly multiracial population
22:01.32XhoBasically just remain friends with the Kicath and you know you'll have someone to back you up just in case demons start tearing up the place
22:02.08XhoAnd also because everyone treats the Kicath as dangerous anyway
22:02.26XhoCooperative but you don't want to be in the same room as one just in case you inadvertently insult one
22:03.01XhoIt could be part and parcel of their altered psychology due to essential heritage, they probably deem foreign policies as inferior in the face of a fireball the size of a galaxy
22:03.47XhoIt's not something anyone's going to understand though
22:04.22The_RandomnessTek0516: I am
22:04.43Tek0516Charles_Murray? Monet?
22:04.55XhoBut the Kicath never turn on anyone unless they feel threatened, and it's in their interests to have everyone assured that the Kicath are there in a peaceful manner
22:04.56MonetNot tonight
22:05.57MonetXho: Well again a lot of the worry is who the Kicath are dealing with.
22:06.46XhoWell the Kicath are aware of the rising tension though there's no military collaboration between them
22:07.19XhoNot against the Gigaquadrant anyway, the Kicath have no intention to wage war
22:07.41XhoThough they are fully prepared should anyone try to break the covenant between the Empire and Kicath
22:07.51XhoThough that would result in a really, really big war
22:08.52MonetThat big war is what might eb intimidating people.
22:09.34XhoWhich is why Kithworto is trying to assure everyone that no one should really be afraid, unless a civilisation actively tries to weaken them both
22:09.42XhoThen it will be Gigaquadrantic hellfire
22:10.33XhoKithworto's amoral nature would indicate that he would use war as a method to maintain peace, as a Xi'Arazulha his methods are ultimately amoral
22:10.41XhoI just repeated myself but still
22:10.51MonetSo...what's their ultimate stance on anyone trying to oppose the Empire?
22:11.07XhoIn terms of personal attacks, they are ambivalent to it
22:11.37XhoTyromairon knows that the Kicath will not support the Empire due to their part in the Accords
22:12.29XhoIt's a mutual understanding between Tyromairon and Kithworto, as an Oikoumene and Xi'Arazulha respectively that cooperation between the Empire and Remnant is in their interests of safety from and for one another
22:12.42XhoOf course VERY few know of that
22:12.56XhoAnd which is why on a greater scale it looks shifty
22:13.43XhoBut Kithworto's role as a Councillor of the PCA means that he also works towards further distancing Borealis from the Empire in the future
22:14.22XhoAs for Mirus, Kicathian presence is probably a positive in terms of post-war stability once the tensions dim down
22:14.35XhoSame goes for Andromeda
22:14.39MonetI have to say that yeah that's probably it; very few are aware, or perhaps even interested, i nthem ore existential elements of the partnership.
22:15.21XhoBut yeah it will not really affect the Gigaquadrant, though Tyro and Kithworto don't want to piss each other off for obvious reasons
22:15.47*** join/#sporewiki Tek0516 (~TekDroid@lx02.housing.carleton.ca)
22:15.53XhoSo both being extremely intelligent, working together is to them a good way of just keeping each other at an arm's reach
22:16.14XhoAnd of course the benefits of the Kicath expanding like a catholic rabbit
22:17.41MonetYeah I think it's the language that Aeresius might have used, amde it sounds like a pact of cooperation for a safe and stable gigaquadrant.
