03:31.16 | DrodoEmpire | NOt much |
03:31.23 | DrodoEmpire | I got done RP'ing with Monet earlier |
03:32.03 | Halopediaman | How'd that treat you? |
03:32.27 | DrodoEmpire | It was quite good |
03:32.51 | Halopediaman | Nice |
03:33.01 | DrodoEmpire | Do you intend to post your fiction soon? |
03:34.36 | Halopediaman | I'm at a crossroads of "I like what I have" and "dear zeus this is terrible delete and start again" |
03:34.44 | DrodoEmpire | I'd just post it |
03:34.59 | DrodoEmpire | If it does happen to be terrible, people'll let you know and how you can improve it |
03:35.00 | DrodoEmpire | :p |
03:35.07 | DrodoEmpire | I get the feeling though] |
03:38.45 | Halopediaman | Well I'm starting to question its stance with precidence, I did make it while half asleep afterall. Are nations usually homogeneous? Also I wasn't sure if I should know what section of space everything was located in before or if I figured that out after from talking to people in the community. |
03:40.11 | DrodoEmpire | Well... |
03:40.47 | DrodoEmpire | "Nation", technically, means a cultural or ethnic group. A group of people of a shared religious and ethnic heritage and language |
03:40.57 | DrodoEmpire | State or country is the word you're looking for |
03:41.13 | DrodoEmpire | (I.e the French are the nation, and France is their country) |
03:41.21 | DrodoEmpire | Anyway that's me being a prick |
03:41.27 | DrodoEmpire | Yes they can be homogeneous |
03:41.31 | DrodoEmpire | That's rather common |
03:42.33 | Halopediaman | I'm emulating terminology I'm seeing used, not using what is technically correct. |
03:43.34 | DrodoEmpire | Best use what's technically correct but I digress |
03:44.01 | DrodoEmpire | Yes, your nation can be homogeneous, and unless its a fairly large empire or one that was built primarily through conquest then its likely it would be |
03:46.16 | DrodoEmpire | *country that is |
03:51.12 | Halopediaman | What I cooked up wasn't homogeneous, I wasn't sure if homogeneous states were what everyone did and anything involving cooperation was an alliance instead of a single governed entity. Essentially what I created was four different alien nations (from the same part of their galactic neighborhood) come together to form a larger empire. |
03:51.57 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
03:51.58 | DrodoEmpire | That's fine |
03:52.09 | Halopediaman | Fantastic. |
03:52.10 | DrodoEmpire | Assume what you're doing is within the rules |
03:52.18 | DrodoEmpire | We'll let you know if something isn't |
03:52.25 | Halopediaman | Oh I'm sure. :P |

10:13.40 | Halopediaman | ...it was to be so simple...a federal council to rule an empire...but then I decided to add a parliament, and legislature consisting of state executives who in some cases vote based on lower state legislature decisions... |

10:17.28 | AdmiralPanda | this why meritocracy |
10:18.34 | Halopediaman | Good news, one of the four lower state legislatures IS a meritocracy! Sort of. Seriously, this is a crime against government drafting. |

11:17.17 | AndroImp | FUCK |
11:17.47 | AndroImp | Anyway, do you think humans would have extraordinary endurance and speed by SporeWiki species standards? |
11:18.10 | AndroImp | Or, considering that many other species develop bipedal gaits, would their running ability be merely average |
11:18.33 | AndroImp | Like for example imagine a running Dracogonarious |
11:18.38 | AdmiralPanda | human's running ability is poor by terran standards, it's endurance that they excel in |
11:18.51 | AdmiralPanda | but by wiki standards even that is quite poor |
11:18.55 | AndroImp | AdmiralPanda: Yeah that's what I meant |
11:19.20 | Ghelae | I'd guess that baseline human endurance would be good compared to that of most baseline aliens, but not extraordinary because, as you say, there are so many bipeds. |
11:19.31 | AndroImp | But consider that human abilities will likely be enhanced through biotechnology |
11:19.35 | Ghelae | But then there's genetic engineering, cybernetic implants, etc. to take into account. |
11:19.37 | AndroImp | Rite |
11:20.05 | AndroImp | Ghelae: Then again consider that not all SW bipeds are human-style bipeds |
11:20.19 | AndroImp | Libertus, for example, would run like, well, raptors |
11:20.55 | Ghelae | Yes. And obviously some species will be worse at endurance than humans despite being bipeds, due to their exact body plan. |
11:20.58 | Wormy_ | I think we need to give baseline Terrans something |
11:21.04 | *** join/#sporewiki ImpyDroid (~yaaic@195.19.236.108) |
11:21.10 | Ghelae | Yes. And obviously some species will be worse at endurance than humans despite being bipeds, due to their exact body plan. |
11:21.31 | Wormy_ | <PROTECTED> |
11:21.32 | ImpyDroid | So humans would be like "good endurance runners but not OP" |
11:21.50 | AdmiralPanda | endurance *walkers* |
11:22.13 | ImpyDroid | Oh wait yes that's right |
11:22.30 | ImpyDroid | Endurance running was actually basically out walking an animal right? |
11:22.34 | Wormy_ | Yes, horses and wolves have better running endurance if you think about it. They can cover hundreds of km a day, I learned. |
11:22.47 | ImpyDroid | Well horses are horses |
11:22.59 | ImpyDroid | There is a reason these two species were among the first to be domesticated |
11:23.03 | ImpyDroid | They can catch up |
11:26.47 | ImpyDroid | Oh and here is one thing I wanted to ask Ghel and Wormy |
11:27.06 | ImpyDroid | Is the hypothesis that humans evolved from semi-aquatic apes legit? |
11:27.24 | Wormy_ | Actually humans have more than just walking endurance. It is quite remarkable that people with the right training or lifestyle can hold their breath underwater for 20 minutes, athletically climb, climb vertical walls. |
11:27.26 | Ghelae | I believe it's still widely regarded as being pretty dodgy. |
11:27.58 | Wormy_ | I prefer the Stoned Ape hypothesis. |
11:28.16 | Ghelae | I don't think they're mutually exclusive. |
11:28.18 | Wormy_ | Which is even more dodgy |
11:28.39 | ImpyDroid | Ape found crack -> went for a swim -> EVOLUTION |
11:28.51 | Wormy_ | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_McKenna#.22Stoned_ape.22_theory_of_human_evolution |
11:28.56 | Wormy_ | More like magic mushrooms |
11:29.16 | ImpyDroid | Humans evolved by mushroom symbiosis |
11:29.19 | ImpyDroid | HUMANS ARE ORKS |
11:29.24 | ImpyDroid | WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH |
11:31.38 | Wormy_ | They probably all play some part. |
11:32.43 | ImpyDroid | So we are stoned dolphin monkeys? |
11:32.49 | Wormy_ | Meme-gene evolution, psychedelic foodsources, swimming, cooked meat, increased social bonds, variable climate, etc. |
11:33.31 | Ghelae | I'd be very surprised if early hominins never went for a dip in a lake or river. But "dolphin" is an exaggeration. |
11:33.34 | ImpyDroid | Ghelae: What is dodgy? That swimming was the main reason for human evolution or that humans lived at a certain point close to water? |
11:33.54 | ImpyDroid | Like I am pretty sure humans swim better than apes |
11:34.04 | ImpyDroid | I dunno, must throw a chimp to a lake to see |
11:34.10 | Ghelae | That a semi-aquatic or aquatic lifestyle was the main reason for human evolution. |
11:34.26 | ImpyDroid | Right |
11:35.22 | ImpyDroid | What about bipedalism? Could it provide an advantage in living near a lake or was it for running only? |
11:36.00 | Ghelae | Being able to stand in water and not drown is certainly an advantage to living near a lake. |
11:36.35 | Ghelae | But it could also have only evolved for running. |
11:39.05 | Ghelae | When it comes to the explanations that the aquatic ape hypothesis provides, there's a quote on the Wikipedia page that explains why they don't really support its validity: |
11:39.07 | Ghelae | "Every one of these reasons probably would be sufficient to explain the evolution of the traits in the absence of the aquatic environment. This is more than unparsimonious. It leaves the Aquatic Ape Theory explaining nothing whatsoever about the evolution of the hominids. This is why professional anthropologists reject the theory, even if they haven't fully thought through the logic." |
11:39.24 | Ghelae | Missed the first sentence. |
11:39.28 | Ghelae | "All of the features encompassed by the theory still requires a reason for it to be maintained after hominids left the aquatic environment." |
11:41.28 | Wormy_ | Here's an ambitious theory http://www.susanblackmore.co.uk/Articles/cas01.html |
11:41.37 | Ghelae | So it's not that what the theory proposes couldn't have happened, it's just that you need palaeontological evidence for it to be scientifically useful. |
11:46.04 | ImpyDroid | right |
11:46.21 | ImpyDroid | Thanks, that answers my question! |

12:39.44 | Hachiman | No no |
12:39.51 | Hachiman | What is wrong with the characters in that post |
12:40.03 | Hachiman | You know, the post about Marvel characters |
12:40.32 | drom | Wormy_: So is mine too |
12:40.34 | Wormy_ | Oh, DC characters |
12:41.01 | Hachiman | Aye |
12:41.13 | Wormy_ | Well I once saw a cheap selection of superhero toys in Woolworths that had Marvel and DC characters as "friends" in it |

12:43.33 | Wormy_ | Indeed |
12:43.54 | Wormy_ | But the artists couldn't have made that without smiling. |
12:43.59 | drom | I didn't get the "pornographic" vibe even if it looks like one |
12:44.19 | Hachiman | I always found those images uncomforting |
12:45.00 | drom | Interestingly, they had that design for more than 10 years iirc |
12:45.11 | drom | They still have it today too, at least in Sweden. |
12:45.24 | Wormy_ | I don't think it change here. |
12:45.49 | Wormy_ | Can't find Fruit Windup comics anymore though |
12:46.56 | Wormy_ | We used to be able to get chocolate cigarettes in the UK. |
12:47.02 | drom | If they wanted to make the wrappers pornographic, it would've been more obvious, add sweating and "moaning" |
12:47.19 | Wormy_ | Kids would pretend they were smoking |

13:58.13 | dino82_ | hi all |
13:58.15 | drom | Rangers' field specializations: "Scout" - Stealth, "Assault" - Swordmaster (CQC) |
13:58.15 | Wormy_away | Ghelae: The truth is, in the Great Expedition, is that the whole naked singularities might have been a lie by the Draconis to keep a true secret (plus they probably don't end the universe). I've left that as unsolved. But yeah, the article implies they can form any in GR |
13:58.16 | Jepardi | drom: I'll go ahead take that Gunnar away from you |
13:58.26 | Wormy_away | *anyway |
13:59.01 | Wormy_away | However, I believe quantum gravity theories, like fuzzballs, attempt to smooth out the singularity. |
13:59.01 | drom | AdmiralPanda: The SGT. Sharpshooter is a female, her specialization is Sniper, which is... Sniper specialization. |
13:59.20 | AdmiralPanda | then there you go |
13:59.40 | Ghelae | Yes... different quantum gravity theories do it, or don't do it, in different ways. It may seem like an incredibly out-of-date idea by the 28th century. |
14:00.20 | Ghelae | BBL |
14:00.31 | drom | Jepardi: Gimme your customization details |
14:01.23 | drom | Ah oh. I've not given him any field specialization. |
14:01.36 | drom | "Demolitons Expert" or "Heavy Weapons", choose one |

14:02.49 | drom | AdmiralPanda: http://i.imgur.com/go9Uh4X.jpg http://i.imgur.com/mHHnIOe.jpg |
14:04.17 | drom | Jepardi: I'll keep that in mind until he gets another promotion |
14:04.30 | drom | Or ultimately, when he dies |
14:05.07 | Wormy_ | What Ghelae describes is a big problem for speculative sci-fi. It endeavours to create a feel for the exotic and non-anthropocentric, but it must be done with modern ideas. |
14:05.34 | Wormy_ | What is a problem with naked singularities now may not be by the 28th century. |
14:05.54 | Wormy_ | I must go too |
14:13.19 | drom | AdmiralPanda: Next mission is a Supply Raid, but I've already sent you to training to unveil your hidden ability. So Hachiman is off to go with 6 other comrades. |
14:16.06 | AdmiralPanda | fair enough |
14:17.11 | drom | Hachiman: I've given you following equipment: Kevlar Vest, AK-12A (from a mod), Sword, Flashbang Grenade |
14:17.22 | Hachiman | Nice |
14:17.36 | AdmiralPanda | if scarlet's hidden ability isn't some permutation of "being a massive bitch" I will be unhappy |
14:18.03 | drom | Otherwise I can give you a shotgun, best for CQC, or an SMG to grant you more mobility. Aka more movement |
14:18.23 | drom | Take or leave it |
14:18.30 | Hachiman | Hm, let's go with shotgun |
14:18.55 | Hachiman | Just hope this does not end up killing me hur |
14:19.27 | drom | Hachiman: When you're killed when I try to utilize your usefulness. I'm not the one to blame hur |
14:20.32 | drom | But since it is a 7-man squad now, you are less likely to get killed, but also less likely to increase the body count. |

16:04.05 | Imperios | That's me trying to write about love |
16:10.53 | Hachiman | "Sheophatia waved her hand in a psychic gesture and forced the head and upper body of the young Artharon to contort, his mouth slamming against his crotch" |
16:11.01 | Hachiman | Jesus |
16:12.39 | Hachiman | Pretty good chapter that |
16:13.25 | Monet | Its an interesting perspective |
16:14.00 | Monet | The way she tries to put logic into something as unpredictable as love is pretty fitting of her cultural background |
16:15.02 | drom | Imperios Monet: *XCOM 2 Initative intensifies* http://i.imgur.com/UNux7X9.jpg |

16:17.30 | Imperios | Basically, Radeons try to rationalise emotions like love, and rather than losing themselves in passion, try to choose the right person through deduction |
16:17.36 | Imperios | Or something like that |

16:26.11 | Imperios | So I was googling for "rat cat" and I found this |
16:26.15 | Imperios | Hachiman: http://orig08.deviantart.net/b068/f/2009/344/1/0/cat_and_mouse__by_artelleart.png |
16:26.20 | Hachiman | NON |
16:26.32 | Hachiman | Radeons have a thing for getting with weird alien warrior people hur |
16:26.55 | OluapPlayer | Jerry was a cunt and I enjoyed every episode where he lost |
16:27.33 | Hachiman | hur |
16:27.40 | Imperios | Radeons are a very weird take on the "green alien space babe" trope |
16:27.43 | Hachiman | Tom was also an asshole though |
16:27.55 | OluapPlayer | He was, but Jerry was a bigger asshole |
16:28.04 | AdmiralPanda | they were both bastards, which is why I was so immensely satisfied no matter who got harmed |
16:28.17 | Monet | Isn't Jerry mostly innocent in about like half the episodes? I swear there are a number of episodes where he's just trying ot get by or live peacefull and Tom wants ot get rid of him. |
16:28.21 | Imperios | Like they are kind of cute but very hard to actually get to |
16:28.46 | OluapPlayer | There are, but there are also episodes where Jerry provokes Tom into chasing him and gets away with it in the end |
16:28.47 | Imperios | Unlike most "sexy alien" races which are hot *and* slutty |
16:28.53 | Imperios | Like asari for example |
16:29.28 | Monet | I agree with Panda; they both had times of being jerks. |
16:29.42 | Hachiman | Butch is best <3 |
16:29.53 | AdmiralPanda | Asari are a perfect example of why fantasy is brilliant, because they're a species with a cultural imperative to fuck everything |
16:30.11 | OluapPlayer | hur |
16:30.31 | Monet | AdmiralPanda: ANd no risk of SPace HIV |
16:30.57 | AdmiralPanda | ^ |
16:31.26 | AdmiralPanda | just a minute chance of the non-asari picking poorly and getting their brain fried |
16:31.47 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: Just so you would know |
16:31.54 | Imperios | The mouse here is a guy |
16:31.57 | Hachiman | Yes, asari have an imperative to fuck everything; including krogan, salarians, batarians, vorcha, |
16:32.15 | OluapPlayer | What you on about |

16:33.12 | Hachiman | Asari are inclined to fuck the most grotesque species in the galaxy |
16:33.21 | OluapPlayer | I know it's a guy, they're anthro versions of Tom and Jerry |
16:33.26 | OluapPlayer | Don't get why you're telling me that |
16:33.30 | AdmiralPanda | which means Hachi might actually have a chance :P |
16:34.11 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: The mouse looks girly on that pic |
16:34.30 | OluapPlayer | Not really |
16:34.33 | OluapPlayer | And I know it's Jerry |
16:34.36 | OluapPlayer | Still don't get your point |
16:35.01 | Monet | Hachiman: One of my stand-out favourite moments was when this Asari was getting cold feet over a poetic Krogan and ocnfest to Shepard that "Krogan live for a thousand years. It's not like with humans when you can just screw them for a century before they die" and Shepard pulls the best "the fuck you say?" face ever. |
16:35.18 | Hachiman | olol |
16:35.50 | Imperios | Monet: http://orig07.deviantart.net/8b33/f/2013/332/f/4/uk_immigration_troll_by_valendale-d6vxwz0.jpg |
16:36.08 | Imperios | Monet: That's kinda what Sheophatia thought hur |
16:36.21 | Imperios | Radeons live for 400 years, Artharons live for 40 |
16:36.29 | Hachiman | Also bloody hell, krogan can live for thousands of years |
16:36.50 | OluapPlayer | I thought Radeons were longer lived than that |
16:36.53 | Monet | Well...yeah |
16:36.54 | OluapPlayer | How do you not know that, you're the resident ME ragetard] |
16:37.01 | Monet | Wreks is pretty old. |
16:37.08 | OluapPlayer | I'm pretty sure Wrex is over a thousand |
16:37.12 | Hachiman | I must have missed it |
16:37.22 | Hachiman | I did not imagine the krogan being a particularly long-lived species considering that pre-Genophage they bred like rabbits |
16:37.36 | Hachiman | And species that breed quickly do not have particularly expansive lifespans |
16:37.48 | OluapPlayer | Actually I don't remember any mention of krogans dying of old age |
16:38.27 | Monet | It might be Krogan are one of those species that don't have a maximum lifespan |
16:38.51 | OluapPlayer | No one knows how old they get because they don't survive that long |
16:39.14 | Monet | When you have a redundant nervous system, backup organs, a powerful immune system and an advanced regenerative ability, you're pretty resistant ot the ravaging effect of time. |
16:40.34 | OluapPlayer | Still I'm a bit amused that Radeons only live 400 years, that means the Dracogonarious can live over twice longer than them |
16:42.31 | Imperios | Radeon - FUK U |
16:42.37 | Imperios | I dunno I might retcon that |
16:42.49 | Imperios | Or state that their lifespan became longer after the New Dawn |
16:42.49 | OluapPlayer | Dracogonarious - no do ur homework |
16:42.59 | OluapPlayer | dat dun make sense |
16:43.06 | Imperios | Science |
16:43.14 | Monet | OluapPLayer: Was Wrex born before or after the Krogan Rebellions? |
16:43.37 | OluapPlayer | Was it not during? |
16:43.40 | Imperios | They had a pretty big scientific renaissance after the AW |
16:43.51 | Monet | Then he's at least 1500 years old. |
16:44.05 | OluapPlayer | I think I recall mention of him dating back from the Rebellions |
16:44.33 | OluapPlayer | Agh where's Xho |
16:44.36 | OluapPlayer | ~summon Xho |
16:44.36 | infobot | apt takes out 20 clean, identical-looking phones, some extra hands, and pretends to be a telemarketer for a large corporation, so he gets delivered a phonelist containing Xho's coordinates |
16:45.21 | Imperios | Monet: http://orig07.deviantart.net/8b33/f/2013/332/f/4/uk_immigration_troll_by_valendale-d6vxwz0.jpg |
16:45.41 | Monet | The human lifespan back in the stone age was aroudn 35, but that's mostly because there were a lot of young deaths |
16:45.43 | OluapPlayer | You already posted that |
16:45.45 | OluapPlayer | Exactly 10 minutes ago |
16:45.58 | Imperios | Ooops |
16:46.11 | Monet | Even i nclassical times, if you didn't die in youth, you had a fairly solid chance of living to 50 or 60. |
16:46.46 | Monet | Despite the medicical ability of the time, Leonardo da Vinci lives to about 75. |
16:46.51 | Monet | medical* |
16:47.06 | Hachiman | Yeah it is dumb that children are taught that people had shorter natural lifespans before the modern age |
16:47.32 | Hachiman | But then I feel a lot of things children are taught is dumb |
16:47.37 | Monet | Hachiman: It's simplification of the data. |
16:47.38 | OluapPlayer | 60 is short compared to 100 |
16:47.56 | Hachiman | 100 is not the average hur |
16:48.08 | OluapPlayer | Yet |
16:48.11 | Monet | Average lifespan estimates tended to factor in infant mortality rate. |
16:48.22 | Monet | Hachi's right. |
16:48.36 | OluapPlayer | The elderly are growing in number every year |
16:48.46 | Monet | Average lifespans in the developed world tend to be between 80-90. |
16:48.53 | OluapPlayer | It's actually a problem some places will suffer. Too many children and too many elders, not enough adults |
16:49.09 | Hachiman | Then you know what this calls for |
16:49.10 | Hachiman | A cull |
16:49.17 | OluapPlayer | Yes |
16:49.19 | OluapPlayer | Cull the children |
16:49.23 | Hachiman | And the elderly |
16:49.28 | Hachiman | They will be dead soon anyway |
16:49.29 | OluapPlayer | No just the children |
16:49.34 | Hachiman | May as well help them |
16:49.39 | OluapPlayer | Grandpa is cool tho |
16:50.16 | Monet | That's mroe simplification |
16:50.18 | Hachiman | I may be biased because a lot of grandparents I know of are intolerant, judgemental traditionalists |
16:50.26 | Hachiman | Including my own and I hate them |
16:50.53 | OluapPlayer | Between the stereotypic elder and the stereotypic kid, I'd take the elder every day |
16:50.56 | OluapPlayer | I hate children |
16:51.03 | Monet | In developed nations, the "replacement rate" as it is called, tends to dip below the average of two children epr parent. |
16:51.25 | Monet | not average sorry |
16:51.36 | Monet | the minimum |
16:53.31 | Hachiman | https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/t1.0-9/12742284_2198682896821424_2208949401494065899_n.jpg?oh=269fb78526ef87dc73683696c9c60996&oe=572ECACF Speaking of children |
16:54.25 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
16:55.20 | Technobliterator | also |
16:55.25 | Technobliterator | the elders are going to die soon anyway |
16:55.39 | Technobliterator | no cull needed |
16:55.40 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
16:56.23 | Hachiman | I agree with depriving children of their naivety of how the world functions |
16:56.36 | Monet | WHen they learn the truth you basically shatter their understanding of how the world works. And they come up with theories that suggest some sort of organised chaos. |
16:56.48 | OluapPlayer | The point is that elders will live longer thanks to advancing technology, and there will be less working adults |
16:57.48 | Hachiman | What I propose is essentially a real life equivalent of Logan's Run with added infantile decimation |
16:58.49 | Monet | OluapWorker: Or improving technology could mean people would be able to work longer int otheir adult life. |
16:58.49 | AdmiralPanda | is it bad that I just designed a cyberpunk character to kill people by cyber-kicking people in the nuts |
16:58.50 | AdmiralPanda | ? |
16:59.37 | OluapPlayer | I've not been Worker in nearly a year hur |
17:00.24 | Hachiman | AdmiralPanda: Lemme guess; spiked tip boots |
17:00.42 | AdmiralPanda | I was more thinking enhanced myomar cyberlegs with popup monoblades |
17:00.52 | Monet | As much as I despise Rueprt Murdoch. The dude's 84 and still and is still executive chairman of both Fox and NewsCorp. |
17:01.15 | Monet | He's 84 and still working. |
17:01.22 | AdmiralPanda | so basically you get capoeira kicked in hte balls by a monoblade propelled by fuckoff powerful cyberlimbs |
17:01.24 | AdmiralPanda | have fun :) |
17:01.44 | Monet | Bye-bye pelvis. |
17:01.45 | OluapPlayer | Cyberfoot, meet cyberdong |
17:02.57 | AdmiralPanda | I mathed out the damage and basically unless you're a military cyborg the blunt force trauma is almost guaranteed to KO you, if it doesn't kill you outright |
17:02.58 | Hachiman | This is why Cyberpunk is a great system |

17:07.42 | Hachiman | You missed us whining at you to play Cyberpunk and Monet informing you that the newborns in the last few years will be the first immortals |
17:07.57 | OluapPlayer | democracy bich |
17:08.14 | OluapPlayer | You missed me saying "fuk yo futurist shi" |
17:08.15 | ImpyDroid | Seriously though, though it will likely take a lot more time than what wing nuts say, but the European population will likely one day be displaced |
17:08.36 | ImpyDroid | Like it did during the Middle Ages |
17:08.56 | Hachiman | But you can play an elf / orc / dwarf in Cyberpunk |
17:08.59 | Hachiman | And beastmen |
17:09.01 | AdmiralPanda | just sayin, all I want is for someone to get bisected vertically between the legs by a guy with a chainsaw hand |
17:09.43 | Monet | ImpyDroid: We might end up doing what Europeans did 500 years ago - Move ot another continent and fill it with Europeans who then whine about immigrants. |
17:09.45 | ImpyDroid | What kind of cyberpunk is this that has orcs and elves |
17:09.51 | ImpyDroid | Shadowrun |
17:10.03 | ImpyDroid | Monet: But there is no land left |
17:10.09 | ImpyDroid | Unless we go into space |
17:10.14 | Monet | Impydroid: A cyberpunk setting with some very good genetic engineering/cosmetic surgery |
17:10.15 | Hachiman | Well they are not *true* orcs and elves; you just modify your appearance to look convincingly like them |
17:10.15 | Monet | ImpyDroid: MArs. |
17:10.53 | Monet | Or better, the ESA builds a colony ship to Europa. |
17:11.07 | Hachiman | Cyberpunk's culture is quite bizarre when it has become a cultural norm to pay for biological augmentation in order to possibly look like a fantasy stereotype or an anthro |
17:11.16 | Hachiman | Or something from an anime |
17:11.44 | Monet | In some ways I think it might be forward-thinking |
17:11.52 | ImpyDroid | Monet: America in space |
17:12.00 | Hachiman | dis is wat feminism is doin 2 our country |
17:12.19 | AdmiralPanda | or look like a bunny girl and get twenty thousand euro worth of cyberware to make yourself the ultimate whore |
17:12.28 | Monet | Look at the poeple who get fake muscle implants or buy enough plastic ot make themselves look like dolls. |
17:12.30 | Hachiman | hur |
17:12.54 | Monet | Buying surgery to become something you can't normally be is becoming a social expectation. |
17:12.57 | Hachiman | Yet on the other side of the coin, you can pay to go full Raiden mode |
17:13.36 | OluapPlayer | This talk reminds me of that one comic where you're misled into thinking the guy wants to do surgery to become a woman but he actually turns into a dragon in the end |
17:13.48 | Hachiman | wat |
17:13.58 | OluapPlayer | You never seen that? |
17:14.03 | Hachiman | I don't recall |
17:14.11 | OluapPlayer | Lemme find it |
17:14.20 | Hachiman | neva knew dey wrote comics bout monet hurdur |
17:14.26 | Monet | OluapPLayer: IS that the one where you have a kid playing with princess dolls and model castles? |
17:14.36 | OluapPlayer | Yes |

17:14.58 | Ghelae | Hello. |
17:15.00 | OluapPlayer | http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/968/780/2e5.png here |
17:15.01 | Monet | Hi |
17:15.34 | Monet | Yeah i remmeber this comic |
17:15.45 | AdmiralPanda | since we're talking about RPGs, for Hachi's nordic campaign I'm going to play not a fighty guy |
17:15.57 | AdmiralPanda | either social, skill or backline |
17:16.35 | Hachiman | Yet you considered a dwarf for social when they have a CHA penalty hur |
17:16.53 | OluapPlayer | living dangerously |
17:17.11 | Hachiman | not gonna accept ppl who dunt go minmaximus grrrr |
17:17.22 | OluapPlayer | i'm off ur game then |
17:17.30 | Hachiman | fuk u |
17:17.46 | AdmiralPanda | was considering dwarf rogue becus pick locks and shit |
17:17.58 | Hachiman | So yeah, Panda decided that this time around he is not gonna play Genocidecles |
17:18.23 | OluapPlayer | You speak it like he always does that |
17:18.29 | Hachiman | He does that a lot of the time |
17:18.34 | OluapPlayer | I'm the one who always goes for Genocidecles |
17:18.52 | Monet | I can't say anything as I've only been in a couple of games |
17:19.10 | AdmiralPanda | it's more that I basically always play martial characters but it's rarely the martial part of them that I enjoy |
17:19.52 | Monet | I remember Panda plays paladins (one was a charmer) and Oluap made a cute cleric girl who decided ot get cat ears. |
17:20.02 | Hachiman | WOLF ears |
17:20.09 | OluapPlayer | and a tail |
17:20.09 | AdmiralPanda | usually it's the RP and the ability to walk away from enough damage to kill the rest of the party put together |
17:20.14 | Monet | I haven't played enough to reliably say who often plays what. |
17:20.27 | Monet | Hachiman: Still pointy and on the crown. |
17:20.42 | AdmiralPanda | Hachi always plays pervs |
17:20.50 | OluapPlayer | That was still my best decision in rpgs ever |
17:21.05 | AdmiralPanda | btw if we do ever play cyberpunk and you don't get a Mr Studd(tm) I'm going to be very disappointed |
17:21.13 | Hachiman | hur |
17:21.24 | Hachiman | And not the decision where you performed necromancy despite being the Cleric of a Good deity hur |
17:21.27 | OluapPlayer | The temptation to add more wolf girls in my game is pretty big |
17:21.38 | Hachiman | Well there are catfolk as a race |
17:21.48 | Hachiman | Not in my game but yours |
17:21.50 | OluapPlayer | It was okay though because the result of that necromancy became the goddess's best dog |
17:22.03 | Monet | And an angel by the end |
17:22.23 | AdmiralPanda | I'm still not entirely sure why I let you do that, probably mostly out of not wanting to crush a poor newb's dreams |
17:22.32 | Monet | Holy megawoof. |
17:22.34 | OluapPlayer | My logic at the time was "i'm gonna turn these bones into a servant of the god" |
17:22.42 | Hachiman | but dats slavery |
17:22.55 | OluapPlayer | It's not slavery if it's an animal |
17:23.06 | Monet | He's right |
17:23.08 | Hachiman | fien animal abuse |
17:23.13 | Monet | Pet |
17:23.21 | OluapPlayer | but he became immune to swords and arrows |
17:23.25 | OluapPlayer | I helped him if anything |
17:23.30 | AdmiralPanda | he was still dead |
17:23.41 | OluapPlayer | Only half so |
17:23.41 | AdmiralPanda | you just raised a puppet from its cadaver |
17:23.43 | Hachiman | WE killed him nonetheless |
17:23.57 | Monet | Maybe we could have considered a more badass name than "shambles" |
17:24.03 | OluapPlayer | Shambles was an adult tho |
17:24.04 | Hachiman | Shambles is a fucking great name |
17:24.26 | OluapPlayer | I gave him belly rubs in his ribcage |
17:24.29 | OluapPlayer | At least in my head I did |
17:24.49 | Hachiman | Shambles was a good boy |
17:25.01 | Monet | And here I thought I as the wolf-fan. |
17:25.13 | Monet | I think Oluap might have surpassed me. |
17:25.19 | OluapPlayer | I've never seen you express liking over wolves |
17:25.39 | Hachiman | But yeah, somebody or more people need to consider opting for frontline duty in the Nordic campaign because I am not dealing with four spellcasters |
17:25.45 | Hachiman | Or three spellcasters and a support |
17:25.54 | OluapPlayer | ALL WIZARD PARTY GO |
17:26.05 | Monet | OluapPlayer: I'm subtle. I have an entire favourites library on DA of wolves and werewolves. |
17:26.19 | OluapPlayer | I see |
17:26.26 | Hachiman | That's hardly subtle |
17:26.38 | OluapPlayer | It is when he doesn't tell anyone about it |
17:26.42 | Hachiman | True |
17:27.19 | Hachiman | Also if I end up with an All Wizard party or anything of the like I am gonna be so pissed hur |
17:27.37 | OluapPlayer | dunt u wanna watch the magic missiles fly |
17:27.44 | Hachiman | i want u 2 liv |
17:27.58 | Monet | Als opossibly the other clue is I'm an absolute sucker for Fenrir. |
17:28.24 | OluapPlayer | Hire dumb strong orc bodyguard -> level up until we reach OP spell level -> buff dumb strong orc bodyguard so he's even stronger -> nuke the countryside |
17:28.25 | Hachiman | I get reminded of that one DS2 video where like three guys were cosplaying as the Xanthous King and bombarded invaders with pyromancy |
17:28.37 | AdmiralPanda | so what you're saying is Monet is going to play a barbarian |
17:28.42 | AdmiralPanda | and wear a lot of wolf pelts |
17:29.06 | Hachiman | Oh I should also note |
17:29.07 | Monet | Maaaybe |
17:29.19 | Hachiman | There will be plenty of Anglo-Saxons / Christians to raid, pillage, and sack |
17:29.30 | OluapPlayer | ur real world names mean nothin to me |
17:29.31 | Hachiman | Because you are Vikings and you will do as Vikings did hur |
17:29.48 | AdmiralPanda | so yeah we're basically going to be raiding nonstop |
17:29.56 | AdmiralPanda | and bringing back all of the attractive ladies |
17:29.59 | OluapPlayer | Is that so? |
17:30.06 | Hachiman | Raiding, drinking, killing the occasional monster |
17:30.15 | Hachiman | Actually no you will be killing lots of monsters |
17:30.23 | Monet | OluapPlayer: Fenrir: Giant fuckoff massive wolf and one of Loki's sons. |
17:30.33 | AdmiralPanda | nah, just raiding |
17:30.34 | Hachiman | And also lots of other people hur |
17:30.35 | OluapPlayer | I know who Fenrir is. I was asking Hachi and Panda about the game |
17:30.36 | AdmiralPanda | and drinking |
17:30.54 | AdmiralPanda | why fight monsters when there's people who are squisher and with more attractive ladies? |
17:31.05 | OluapPlayer | because monsters are much manlier than silly humanoids |
17:31.14 | OluapPlayer | And the ladies love monster slayers |
17:31.14 | Monet | OluapPLayer: Sorry. My bad |
17:31.16 | Hachiman | Because you get good shit from killing monsters and if you go with the easier options you will be less rewarded |
17:31.43 | AdmiralPanda | iunno ladies are a pretty big reward |
17:31.53 | Hachiman | u fink beowulf earned his reputashun by goin 4 easy pickins i dunt fink so son |
17:32.08 | Hachiman | Although Beowulf was also a tremendous liar now that I think about it |
17:32.09 | AdmiralPanda | and since you're going for realism there'll be plenty of well-sponsored churches and chapels to raid full of golden chalices e.t.c. :P |
17:32.51 | Monet | Monsters don't drop money. Except dragons of course. |
17:33.05 | Hachiman | Important thing is that you will not finish the campaign without killing at least one asshole dragon |
17:33.05 | OluapPlayer | You sell the monster's valuable bits for good coin |
17:33.29 | Monet | Hachiman: Yay |
17:33.33 | Hachiman | Also the number of monsters you kill equates to how many attractive women you earn without having to raid |
17:34.14 | OluapPlayer | If that's the core of the campaign, I think I'll go for dwarf fighter |
17:34.15 | AdmiralPanda | but we don't have to pay/seduce the women we get from raiding |
17:34.39 | Hachiman | That is rape though hur |
17:34.44 | OluapPlayer | And wear a BIG, POINTED HELMET |
17:34.52 | OluapPlayer | HORNED even |
17:35.02 | Hachiman | I am not gonna argue against horned helmets |
17:35.14 | Hachiman | Like as much as people say they hate them, I find them cool nonetheless |
17:35.28 | OluapPlayer | Now I just had an idea |
17:35.33 | AdmiralPanda | frankly, what do you expect? |
17:35.36 | OluapPlayer | Get a monster's horns and put them on the helmet |
17:35.50 | Monet | It's not that they're not cool, its their questionable practicality. |
17:36.27 | Hachiman | Oh also, in case it concerns anyone |
17:36.30 | Hachiman | Half-giants are a playable race |
17:36.32 | OluapPlayer | Actually that's an interesting concept, I might go for that |
17:36.38 | OluapPlayer | I want increasingly deadlier horns in my helmet |
17:36.51 | Hachiman | Need feats for lethal headbutt damage hur |
17:36.54 | Monet | OluapPlayer: http://orig13.deviantart.net/5b05/f/2014/272/c/d/megaloceros_by_sameerprehistorica-d6hs7bo.jpg How about these for headwear? |
17:37.28 | OluapPlayer | That's for the ceremonial helmet |
17:37.35 | Hachiman | Keep in mind he is a dwarf and that is larger than a person hur |
17:37.46 | Hachiman | Actually wait dwarfs are medium creatures in Pathfinder |
17:37.48 | Hachiman | I keep forgetting |
17:37.58 | OluapPlayer | They're medium creatures everywhere, not just Pathfinder |
17:38.03 | Monet | Still an impressive pair though |
17:38.33 | OluapPlayer | I just need to buff my STR until it reaches the point I don't have to care hur |
17:38.37 | Monet | They're short, not tiny. |
17:39.21 | Hachiman | Do not finalize anything until Session 0 which should be taking place this Saturday if I recall |
17:39.32 | OluapPlayer | aka tomorrow |
17:39.42 | Hachiman | Oh yeah hur |
17:40.45 | OluapPlayer | I want to play every class fully at least once. I played a fighter once but that campaign lasted what, 3 sessions |
17:40.57 | Monet | I'm going ot be away for the day tomorrow but hopefully I'll be back by the evening |
17:41.02 | OluapPlayer | At some point I want a class with a familiar so I can have a CUTE red panda |
17:41.03 | Hachiman | u betta b |
17:41.22 | Hachiman | If you wanted a red panda familiar you should have decided to go Oriental hur |
17:41.53 | OluapPlayer | Well a fighter can't have a familiar, so it'd not matter regardless |
17:42.07 | OluapPlayer | And I only learned red panda familiars were a thing after you sent me Bestiary 5 |
17:42.48 | Monet | You could still buy one as a pet right? |
17:42.48 | Hachiman | True |
17:43.03 | Hachiman | Can you buy red pandas in Norse lands hur |
17:43.08 | OluapPlayer | Big burly horned dwarf and his adorable red panda pet |
17:43.17 | Monet | Possibly |
17:43.35 | OluapPlayer | It's fantasy, you don't need to follow real world geography hur |
17:43.42 | Hachiman | butbut thematics |
17:43.44 | Monet | Theoretically said Red Panda might have been bought by a trader in Constantinople. |
17:44.05 | OluapPlayer | Not that I want one in this campaign. If we're getting animals for the party I'd rather get one that'll help in combat |
17:44.10 | OluapPlayer | Like a wolf |
17:44.39 | Hachiman | I can only imagine how Random will react to Panda deciding to be a Rogue |
17:44.48 | Hachiman | cus dat meens randum cant b a skill monkey agen |
17:45.26 | OluapPlayer | Then I put a little horned helmet on the wolf too |
17:45.48 | Hachiman | I am not letting you put a horned helmet on a wolf hur |
17:45.55 | OluapPlayer | Why not hur |
17:45.56 | Hachiman | You are free to give it armour |
17:46.06 | Hachiman | cus helmets on animals is silly |
17:46.19 | OluapPlayer | Okay mr srs bsns |
17:46.41 | OluapPlayer | Next game I should force you to wear proper clothes and shoes all the time |
17:46.58 | Hachiman | I am slutty, not silly |
17:47.17 | Hachiman | And walking around barefoot is an expression of my elven heritage u racist fuk |
17:47.33 | Monet | Maybe the wold could wear a helmet that's practical for wolves? |
17:47.43 | Imperios | What the hell are you two even talking about hur |
17:47.47 | Monet | If it can wear armour why not a wolf-suitable helmet? |
17:47.50 | Imperios | Also |
17:47.52 | Imperios | >Constantinope |
17:47.58 | Imperios | BYZANTINE <3333 |
17:47.58 | OluapPlayer | You don't restrict the players from having fun |
17:48.05 | OluapPlayer | If I want to put a helmet on a wolf, I damn well will |
17:48.33 | Hachiman | A wolf-suitable helmet works but I know that Oluap plans to strap a literal miniature Viking helmet on its head hur |
17:48.41 | Imperios | What are you talking about hur |
17:48.46 | Imperios | Another RPG of yours? |
17:48.52 | OluapPlayer | Same way I gave Clotholaire a wolf tail for no practical reason but ti look cute |
17:48.54 | OluapPlayer | *to |
17:49.35 | OluapPlayer | Yes |
17:49.58 | Hachiman | NO!!! vikings r..... NOT CUTE |
17:50.16 | OluapPlayer | Not with that attitude |
17:50.20 | Hachiman | hur |
17:50.27 | Hachiman | And yes, another Pathfinder campaign |
17:50.50 | AdmiralPanda | see, more reason it should have been oriental, cos then cute girls in cherry orchards |
17:51.16 | Hachiman | You're the one who said Nordic first hur |
17:51.41 | OluapPlayer | After we reach high level, we breach dimensions and pillage the oriental world |
17:51.41 | OluapPlayer | and steal a red panda while we're at it |
17:51.41 | drom | Jepardi_: Your Gunnar Johansen has reached Sergant rank! Demolition is you new ability, and you've gained a nick: 'Blaze' |
17:51.41 | AdmiralPanda | I said nordic because I forgot I wanted to play an alchemist, shut it you |
17:51.47 | Hachiman | dis is y u shud fink bout ur decishuns b4 u maek dem |
17:52.04 | AdmiralPanda | fuk u, u put it to a vote before I had time to think about it |
17:52.26 | AdmiralPanda | if the vote was left to session 0 I would have remembered I wanted to play an alchemist |
17:52.41 | OluapPlayer | Why not just play an alchemist now? |
17:52.51 | Hachiman | Cus he feels Alchemists are not thematically fitting |
17:53.03 | AdmiralPanda | cus they're not |
17:53.16 | OluapPlayer | Then make them fit |
17:53.23 | Hachiman | I didn't outlaw them hur |
17:53.36 | AdmiralPanda | slaps Oluap |
17:53.43 | OluapPlayer | rude |
17:53.57 | AdmiralPanda | not gon play somethin that I can't put imagery to, and nordic alchemist just don't math out |
17:53.58 | Hachiman | Personally I feel a drugged-up brewmaster-turned-berserker is fitting |
17:56.01 | Hachiman | Best thing about playing a Norse-oriented campaign is that I can give you all ironic nicknames when you start getting gud |
17:56.17 | Hachiman | Oluap the Tall, for example |
17:56.47 | OluapPlayer | Eh |
17:56.49 | OluapPlayer | Sounds dum |
17:59.05 | Monet | Every nickname has a story |
17:59.37 | Hachiman | Ivar the Boneless, for example, is theorized by some to be called that because he was big-boned |
18:00.04 | Hachiman | A lot of other people say he is called the Boneless because he could not use his legs properly and had to be carried by shield |
18:03.22 | Monet | Sounds like his name was a friendly joke |
18:04.23 | Hachiman | Aye |
18:04.30 | Hachiman | Vikings were like that |
18:06.17 | Monet | http://forces.tv/16132374 something a bit like that still happens today |
18:06.34 | *** join/#sporewiki Tek0516 (~TekDroid@24.114.77.63) |
18:06.45 | Monet | Are you a Sgy. James Gordon? Expect your squaddies ot start calling you "Flash" |
18:06.47 | Monet | Sgt.* |
18:12.29 | Monet | So callign Oluap's dwarf "the tall" I can see that |
18:13.53 | OluapPlayer | I would rather have a nickname that fits the character |
18:14.43 | Hachiman | Oluap the Horny |
18:14.49 | Hachiman | cus horned helm c |
18:15.27 | Monet | Aye |
18:16.03 | Monet | Its rare for a nickname to intentionally sound badass. |
18:16.24 | Hachiman | One of the most badass Vikings had a nickname which essentially translated to "Ragnar Hairy Breaches" |
18:17.27 | Hachiman | *Breeches, rather |
18:18.16 | Hachiman | Presumably because he had hairy legs or something |
18:18.44 | Monet | According to this http://www.space.com/16280-buzz-aldrin.html "Buzz" isn't Aldrin's first name, it's shorthand for the way his sister pronounced "brother" as "buzzer" |
18:19.08 | Hachiman | Huh |
18:19.36 | Monet | Well in a way it is his first name. |
18:19.57 | Monet | He adopted it, but was born Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr. |
18:21.16 | Hachiman | Another thing I find kinda amusing about Vikings is that by traditional naming conventions, Vikings could and often would have names like "Bjorn Bjornsson" or "Skarssen Skarssensson" |
18:21.44 | Monet | Yeah |
18:21.57 | OluapPlayer | Vikings didn't have much imagination |
18:21.57 | Monet | Lief Eriksson -> Son of Eric the Red. |
18:22.04 | AdmiralPanda | in hte middle ages, central europe shared 23 distinct names |
18:22.07 | AdmiralPanda | just 23 |
18:22.11 | Hachiman | Jesus what |
18:22.36 | Monet | OluapPlayer: Still happens in Nordic countries. They don't believe in family names |
18:22.39 | AdmiralPanda | factoring in regional variations of course, btu yeah 23 names |
18:23.31 | Monet | Well, I think some of the Nordic countries have adopted more mainline conventions but iirc no one in Iceland has a fmaily name. |
18:23.37 | Hachiman | OluapPlayer: Well the full name would equate to "Bjorn, Son of Bjorn" when translated, but as far as I know Vikings could change their surnames to a nickname |
18:24.55 | Hachiman | Like Bjorn Ironside, whose name would have been Bjorn Ragnarson before his name was changed |
18:25.05 | Hachiman | Ragnarsson even |
18:27.35 | Hachiman | Also what |
18:28.30 | Hachiman | Leif Eriksson was Erik the Red's son? |
18:28.39 | Hachiman | I had no idea the two were related |
18:29.09 | Monet | The name's a slight clue. |
18:29.13 | Monet | Then again I guess Erik is pretty common |
18:29.20 | Hachiman | Yeah I was gonna say |
18:29.33 | Hachiman | Erik is a rather common name so I figured that he must have been related to a different Erik |
18:30.45 | Monet | Who his father was did become advantageous to discovering America |

18:32.54 | LuxorHere | I think I have a neat idea for a fictional empire existing 3 billion years BNE, and an idea to mix it with Da Reckoning. |
18:33.09 | Hachiman | Kinda funny that Leif's family has a history of crime |
18:33.27 | Monet | Crime? |
18:34.17 | Hachiman | Thorvald, Erik the Red's father, was exiled from Norway and settled in Iceland due to manslaughter; Erik himself was exiled from Iceland for a few years because of "some killings" he committed |
18:34.19 | Monet | I know they had a colonial lineage. |
18:35.29 | Monet | I guess it made them quite a mobile family |
18:36.02 | Hachiman | Some of Erik's thralls on his farm accidentally caused a landslide on one of his friend's neighbouring farms, Eyiolf the Foul, who killed the thralls; in turn, Erik murdered Eyiolf |
18:36.20 | Hachiman | And Eyiolf's kinsmen demanded Erik's exile |
18:38.29 | Hachiman | When he moved to Iceland, he requested some items of sentimental value to him from a friend he had gifted them to in order to look after them; he ended up having to take them himself after being refused them by said friend, Thorgest, and ended up killing Thorgest's sons and a few other people |

18:45.28 | ZF101 | Hello all. |
18:45.44 | Hachiman | Erik was married to Thjothhild, not Leif |
18:46.11 | Hachiman | Leif actually became an evangelist I think |
18:46.17 | Hachiman | Which his father thought was dumb |
18:46.36 | Monet | He converted to christianity |
18:46.55 | Monet | And was married to Thorgunna |
18:47.00 | Hachiman | Yeah |
18:47.28 | Monet | Apparently his children were named "Thorgils" and "Thorkell" |
18:47.36 | Hachiman | I can just imagine Erik being a grumpy old man |
18:47.59 | Hachiman | His ancestors did not raid and massacre Anglo-Saxons for this shit |
18:50.17 | Monet | Then again I'm not entirely sure where form europe Christianity spread from |
18:50.41 | Monet | But most likely it was spread my merchants. |
18:56.16 | OluapPlayer | I feel bored and tired all the sudden |
18:57.48 | AdmiralPanda | I feel bored and tired cos it's 5am and I can't think of any character ideas I like |
18:58.17 | OluapPlayer | Go to sleep |
18:58.55 | AdmiralPanda | no |
18:59.45 | Hachiman | You're not gonna do yourself any favours by staying up |
19:00.17 | AdmiralPanda | got places to be in 3 hours so it's too late to go to sleep |
19:00.23 | Hachiman | Ouch |
19:04.47 | Wormy_ | You could probably sleep for 3 hours and get up reasonably well. |
19:04.56 | Wormy_ | Without entering deep sleep |
19:05.11 | Monet | I think I once did that last year |
19:05.21 | Wormy_ | I did it too much this year :P |
19:05.22 | Hachiman | I would not recommend it |
19:06.02 | Monet | You feel like crud when you wake up |
19:06.34 | Wormy_ | I find I would feel worse at 5 hours sleep, than 2 or 3 hours, obviously it takes me that long to enter deep sleep. |

20:25.49 | OpelSpeedster | I always come home tired and with a headache. |
20:26.14 | Ghelae | Wormy_semi_space: Mathematically speaking, I believe semi space would be exactly half of space. |
20:27.21 | Wormy_semi_space | Would that be, half the equations of a space? Literally a space cut in half? Are fundamentally, half of the primitives that make a space (which I have trouble conceptualising)? |
20:27.33 | Wormy_semi_space | *or fundamentally |
20:27.36 | Xho | 11 hour study day |
20:27.36 | Ghelae | Literally a space cut in half, yes. Like a semi infinite line is a line that comes to an end in one direction, but not the other. |

21:09.53 | Hachiman | "Col. Lewis has been an outstanding performer despite several cases of stress-induced panic, even more extraordinary is that many of these panic-attacks have saved lives." |
21:10.39 | OluapPlayer | All the ayys were distracted by the soldier going literally apeshit, giving the others time to ambush them |

21:24.45 | Hachiman | Did he test positive? |

22:03.12 | ImpyDroid | Reed hur |
22:03.21 | Monet_2 | I WANT THIS CHRONICLE! |
22:03.40 | ImpyDroid | Monet_2: http://assets2.ignimgs.com/2016/02/18/wowchroniclesample-page-012jpg-c7496b.jpg So Azeroth looked like this |
22:03.52 | Monet_2 | IU am genuinely nerdgasming right now!!! |

22:09.37 | Monet_2 | Admittedly that does look rather cool |
22:10.23 | ImpyDroid | http://assets2.ignimgs.com/2016/02/18/wowchroniclesample-page-007jpg-0d80a6_765w.jpg Oooh Old Gods got some backstory |

22:10.28 | Monet_2 | WIN! |

22:19.18 | drom | Oh shit, my Brazilian grenadier managed to insta-kill a Muton with a receiver on an Overwatch |
22:20.44 | TekDroid | Is that bad? |
22:21.04 | drom | No it is good |
22:21.16 | drom | Because Mutons are bad menaces in XCOM 2 |
22:21.22 | drom | Worse than XCOM |
22:22.14 | ImpyDroid | https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CbjtzfYUEAEt4z-.jpg:large And the new orc leader is |
22:24.43 | Monet_2 | Saurfang's a good choice. |
22:25.25 | Wormy_semi_space | Maybe he should brush his teeth. |
22:26.10 | Monet_2 | Heh |
22:37.25 | Monet_2 | ImpyDroid: I feel like streaming painting some WoW related artwork to celebrate this news. |
22:37.36 | ImpyDroid | Could do |
22:38.44 | Monet_2 | Any suggestions? |
22:39.18 | Monet_2 | http://www.zbrushcentral.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=380570 is it me or do Varian's armor uget an upgrade? |
22:40.36 | Monet_2 | Yeah it's definitely changed |
22:40.45 | Hachiman | I wonder if it is too late to retcon Kezoreg's backstory |
22:41.09 | Hachiman | Like, just write Lezia out of it entirely |
22:41.13 | Monet_2 | What changes were you considering? |
22:41.34 | Hachiman | And change the result of his ugliness from Xhodocto corruption to Tyraz' Descension in his blood |
22:42.08 | Monet_2 | Who'd his mum be? |
22:43.15 | Hachiman | Some concubine or something that Tyraz had a stand with |
22:43.26 | DrodoEmpire | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:210592 |
22:43.30 | DrodoEmpire | Someone needs assistance |
22:44.25 | Hachiman | I basically want to write the dum out of Kezoreg |
22:44.58 | Monet_2 | Fair enough |
22:48.07 | Hachiman | Actually fuck it |
22:48.13 | Hachiman | Would take too much retcon |
22:48.25 | Hachiman | So much I imagine people would be unwilling to do it |
22:49.00 | Monet_2 | Does Lezia's involvement affect much other than the circumstances of his birth? |
22:49.26 | Hachiman | It does |
22:49.44 | Hachiman | It's part of the reason why he ends up living in the Collective with Maryah and why he gets so angsty about it |
22:50.21 | Hachiman | Along with the thing about Lezia's Xhodocto corruption affecting him pre-birth which has led nowhere in the entirety of fiction he has been written into |
22:51.28 | Monet_2 | Maybe instead of Lezia, Tyraz's affiliation with the Xhodocto corrupted a comcubine? |
22:52.21 | Monet_2 | <PROTECTED> |
22:52.40 | Hachiman | It's too late to do anything now |
22:52.51 | Hachiman | I may as well just leave it and accept the fact I am stuck with a cancerfest |
22:53.25 | Monet_2 | I think its still salvageable |
22:53.38 | Monet_2 | We just have to work out where we can bend the canon. |
22:53.39 | Hachiman | It would take too much work |
22:54.13 | Monet_2 | Think of it as a creative challenge ot overcome. |
22:54.22 | Hachiman | It's too much of a change |
22:54.37 | Hachiman | It would take a lot of rewriting stuff with a lot of people which no one has time for |
22:55.10 | Monet_2 | Compartmentalise. |
22:55.18 | Hachiman | Once I am done with the Zazane stuff I have planned I will be honest-to-God ecstatic that I will get to work on something different |
22:55.28 | Hachiman | I have had enough of the Zazane |
22:57.04 | Xho | kill dem all |
22:57.09 | Monet_2 | Take deep breaths, relax. |
22:57.11 | Xho | give in to ur hatred |
22:57.29 | Xho | Monet and I seem to now be playing the role of the angel and devil on Hachi's shoulders |
22:58.20 | Monet_2 | Work out what needs changing, break it down into chunks. For instance you say that a lot of people will need ot be involved i nthe rewrite. Who will need ot be contacted? |
22:58.28 | Monet_2 | How many peopel is "a lot" |
22:58.30 | ImpyDroid | I understand Hachi |
22:58.41 | ImpyDroid | Our old fiction tends to be the most flawed |
22:58.48 | ImpyDroid | You should work on other stuff definitely |
22:59.07 | ImpyDroid | Need I remind you, however, that you already tried to get rid of the Zazane two times |
22:59.33 | Hachiman | I will succeed a third |
23:00.19 | ImpyDroid | Hachiman: Whoever gave birth to Kezoreg, she is probably an electrocuted corpse buried beneath the Ecclesial Palace of Spode by now |
23:00.34 | Hachiman | Isn't Lezia canonically dead already hur |
23:00.44 | Monet_2 | No idea |
23:00.49 | Monet_2 | She's like Kenny. |
23:00.59 | Hachiman | People like Kenny |
23:01.04 | Hachiman | Nobody likes Lezia |
23:01.21 | ImpyDroid | I like Lezia â~â |
23:01.22 | Monet_2 | Popularity aside I mean |
23:01.39 | ImpyDroid | She is a remnant of the old Spore Wiki when things were simpler and funnier |
23:01.49 | drom | Monet_2: Here is the roster http://i.imgur.com/ExGaDxy.jpg |
23:01.50 | Hachiman | ImpyDroid: Shit taste 0/10 waifu Iovera is better |
23:02.01 | Xho | Could've written her death into the Asgord Genocide |
23:02.10 | drom | Pick the one you want to go, but don't forget the list here: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User:Dromlexer/X-COM_2_Initiative |
23:02.13 | ImpyDroid | Allow me to cherish the memory of us roleplaying Iovera and Tyraz's foreplay |
23:02.23 | ImpyDroid | Ah these were the days |
23:02.25 | Xho | YOU CAN'T CHERISH THAT |
23:02.28 | Xho | THAT'S NOT RIGHT |
23:02.30 | Xho | THAT'S NOT RIGHT AT ALL |
23:02.38 | ImpyDroid | IT WAS HACHI'S IDEA |
23:02.42 | Hachiman | Fuck off cunt |
23:02.47 | ImpyDroid | HE STARTED THE RP |
23:02.47 | Xho | I DO NOT WANT TO VISUALISE ALIEN DRAGON ON ALIEN RAT ACTION THANKS |
23:02.54 | ImpyDroid | I HAD TO PLAY ALONG |
23:02.54 | drom | Sexwiki |
23:03.07 | Technobliterator | There was definitely a time when people liked Lezia |
23:03.07 | Technobliterator | but the Kraw are completely inactive now |
23:03.07 | Technobliterator | so the Loron are the only comic relief species again |
23:03.15 | drom | Your most important source of Sporewiki sex |
23:03.21 | Xho | I never really liked Lezia that much |
23:03.29 | Xho | dats y angazhar break her mentally |
23:03.33 | Xho | 10/10 best xhodocto |
23:03.38 | Hachiman | I would say Hachi is partially comic relief |
23:03.42 | drom | Monet_2: Basically, the first four are taken |
23:03.43 | Hachiman | Hachi is not a species however |
23:03.45 | Monet_2 | Technobliterator: Suddenly I feel bad for making the Kraw srs. |
23:04.02 | ImpyDroid | Allow me also to cherish the memory of Angazhar pretending to be a schoolboy going to the same school as Kezoreg |
23:04.14 | Hachiman | Stop cherishing shit-tier memories |
23:04.22 | Xho | That was funny though, Angazhar was possessing children |
23:04.25 | ImpyDroid | Never |
23:04.36 | Halopediaman | What abhorrent activites are you people up to in here? <_< |
23:04.45 | ImpyDroid | You guys are awfully ashamed of our horrible past |
23:04.48 | drom | Sex, sex, sex |
23:04.52 | drom | It is all about sex |
23:04.55 | Monet_2 | drom: I'm drawn to Luca 'Ace' de Luca. |
23:04.58 | Xho | Halopediaman: You've been on this IRC for how long and you've just asked that question |
23:05.00 | ImpyDroid | It is hilarious, not funny |
23:05.07 | drom | Monet_2: Monet de Monet |
23:05.07 | ImpyDroid | not horrible even |
23:05.21 | *** join/#sporewiki Tek0516 (~TekDroid@24.114.69.149) |
23:05.22 | Hachiman | If I was allowed to erase those memories at the cost of removing one of my vital organs or limbs with a shotgun, I would |
23:05.34 | ImpyDroid | Are you fucking serious |
23:05.40 | ImpyDroid | That was hilarious as fuck |
23:05.46 | drom | Anyone else wanna sign up for as a soldier on my XCOM2 game? |
23:05.51 | ImpyDroid | We were teenagers back then |
23:05.55 | ImpyDroid | Do not forget that |
23:06.01 | Hachiman | Yes and a cringefest |
23:06.06 | Hachiman | We are adults now |
23:06.15 | Monet_2 | drom: If I die, I'm going to haunt you. |
23:06.26 | drom | Good |
23:06.26 | Halopediaman | What can I say Xho, until two days ago I just glossed over the wierd stuff. |
23:06.28 | ImpyDroid | And an important part of being an adult is to accept one's childgood |
23:06.32 | ImpyDroid | childhood |
23:06.40 | Hachiman | I accepted it and now I want to get rid of it |
23:06.42 | ImpyDroid | And let go of the past |
23:06.44 | Monet_2 | Hachiman: What do we get out of pretending that immaturity never happened? |
23:06.48 | ImpyDroid | Why would you |
23:06.56 | ImpyDroid | This was funny |
23:07.06 | ImpyDroid | Very funny too |
23:07.07 | Xho | explosion in 3 2 1 |
23:07.16 | Hachiman | That we no longer remember that the immaturity happened and we can fool ourselves into believing we have always been about serious business, that's what |
23:07.19 | Monet_2 | It was fun and we learned from this immaturity. |
23:07.40 | ImpyDroid | Hachiman: But we are not a serious business |
23:07.48 | Technobliterator | That might be comforting, but it's not healthy |
23:07.52 | ImpyDroid | We are not professional writers, we do not get money from our stuff |
23:07.54 | drom | Aaaand, list updated! http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User:Dromlexer/X-COM_2_Initiative |
23:08.04 | ImpyDroid | So we should not pretend we are adults when we still are not |
23:08.35 | Monet_2 | Techno's right. Pretending we have no inner child is unhealthy. |
23:08.38 | ImpyDroid | There were actually shameful moments, but that is not one of them |
23:08.56 | Technobliterator | of course, there are people who do earn money from our sutff |
23:09.19 | Xho | Removing your inner child basically turns you into me |
23:09.19 | Monet_2 | If you want to be 100% mature and serious as you say then why watch South Park? |
23:09.43 | drom | Monet_2 Hachiman: Monet's guy's biography here: http://i.imgur.com/o3WvDX5.jpg |
23:09.46 | Xho | Consistently contemplating existential dread and glazing over at a computer monitor for escapist nonsense |
23:09.58 | ImpyDroid | Seriously though I have had many shameful events in my childhood |
23:09.59 | drom | And my character's biography here: http://i.imgur.com/SroMudZ.jpg |
23:10.03 | ImpyDroid | But this is not one of tuem |
23:10.16 | Hachiman | I did not say I wanted to be 100% mature and serious, I just want the cringefest that was our youth on Sporewiki removed so I do not have to subject my memories to them |
23:10.17 | Monet_2 | drom: SO I'm a pre-war vet |
23:10.27 | Monet_2 | Cool |
23:10.28 | Technobliterator | I support removing IRC logs :p |
23:10.34 | drom | NO |
23:10.41 | drom | slaps Technobliterator |
23:10.53 | Hachiman | I agree |
23:10.55 | Xho | I don't like the IRC logs |
23:10.55 | drom | HISTORY IS IMPORTANT |
23:10.57 | ImpyDroid | Hachiman: Without this cringefest there would never have been this wiki |
23:11.02 | Technobliterator | I strongly support the removal of those :p |
23:11.06 | ImpyDroid | Besides |
23:11.09 | ImpyDroid | We were 14 |
23:11.10 | Xho | It can open up a can of worms that's for sure |
23:11.14 | ImpyDroid | Some were even 12 |
23:11.17 | *** join/#sporewiki Liquid_Ink (79d0a1bb@gateway/web/freenode/ip.121.208.161.187) |
23:11.21 | ImpyDroid | It was perfectly normal for us to be silly |
23:11.25 | Technobliterator | I was 12! |
23:11.31 | Technobliterator | I think |
23:11.41 | Monet_2 | drom: Though it's a little wierd that apparently my character is apparently a veteren depsite being seven when the aliens invaded. |
23:11.44 | ImpyDroid | I was 13 when I first came to the wiki I think |
23:11.50 | Monet_2 | A ranking officer ate age 7. |
23:12.07 | ImpyDroid | Monet_2: Child soldiers |
23:12.09 | Monet_2 | Damn XCOM must have been desperate lol |
23:12.16 | drom | Monet_2: You are officially XCOM's <young officer from Star Trek> |
23:12.17 | ImpyDroid | And so were you |
23:12.35 | ImpyDroid | This was a great time and there is no reason to feel sham |
23:12.38 | ImpyDroid | shame |
23:12.47 | Technobliterator | I remember when Imp joined the wiki, he seemed fairly mature despite occasional stupid comments |
23:12.56 | Technobliterator | then suddenly he joined IRC and regressed to being immature |
23:13.04 | Technobliterator | and I found it odd |
23:13.23 | ImpyDroid | I am mature in general conversation and immature in personal conversation |
23:13.30 | ImpyDroid | I am also unstable |
23:13.36 | ImpyDroid | Which is still true now |
23:13.48 | Monet_2 | If we pretend what we were in the past never was how can we be mindful of who we ar enow? |
23:14.04 | ImpyDroid | It was not so much regression as it was me showing my different side |
23:14.22 | Monet_2 | How can we be mindful of what we could become if we shut away what we were? |
23:14.27 | ImpyDroid | Monet_2: Admittedly, you were not there during ye plde days |
23:14.32 | ImpyDroid | olde days |
23:14.42 | drom | ImpyDroid: Ayy! I found my soulmate! |
23:14.46 | ImpyDroid | Then there was the time when we made everyone ascended |
23:14.54 | ImpyDroid | Literally |
23:15.06 | ImpyDroid | Every race had demigods fighting for them |
23:15.11 | Technobliterator | oh yes |
23:15.15 | Monet_2 | ImpyDroid: I'm pretty sure i've had my stupid/immature moments though |
23:15.17 | Technobliterator | those powercreep days |
23:15.40 | Technobliterator | those were pretty awful |
23:16.34 | Monet_2 | And we learned that there's mroe to ascension than throwing around reality-warping magic...right? |
23:17.08 | Monet_2 | O rwas that later? |
23:17.08 | Halopediaman | Nonsense |
23:17.23 | ImpyDroid | Monet_2: That was during the late War of Ages |
23:17.38 | ImpyDroid | Everyone brought their gods |
23:17.59 | Halopediaman | How aptly named for the context of this conversation. |
23:18.19 | ImpyDroid | I had ascended golden Radeon, Cyrannian brought the Thirteenth Tribe that blessed people left and right |
23:18.34 | Technobliterator | I had the Taldar, and I still do 8D |
23:18.40 | ImpyDroid | ^ That |
23:18.46 | ImpyDroid | There was also Falco |
23:18.56 | Hachiman | Don't diss Falco |
23:19.04 | Technobliterator | he was a legend |
23:19.07 | ImpyDroid | Falco was the guy with a race of pyromaniacs |
23:19.15 | ImpyDroid | Like literally they worshipped fire |
23:19.17 | ImpyDroid | The Flame |
23:19.31 | ImpyDroid | So he had flame-ascended guys |
23:19.35 | ImpyDroid | BY FIRE BE PURGED |
23:20.07 | ImpyDroid | Hachiman I believe first brought Tyraz's descension at this point |
23:20.19 | ImpyDroid | Wormy had Tricarrion and Bo Ramik |
23:20.31 | ImpyDroid | Everybody was godrace fighting |
23:20.47 | Technobliterator | Wormy never had any gods, he was one of the users, along with Random and Ghelae, who was opposed to the idea of having godraces at all |
23:21.43 | Monet | Lately I've wondered if VOlakrus is old hat. |
23:21.53 | Xho | And then I fucked everyone over, at least twice |
23:22.00 | Monet | As my main-focus antagonist |
23:24.10 | Monet | Anyway. What we're all feeling is perfectly natural |
23:24.23 | ImpyDroid | Oh one more guy |
23:24.32 | ImpyDroid | KKIA'SIHM |
23:24.43 | ImpyDroid | He was among the first to start the ascended craze |
23:24.49 | ImpyDroid | Mushroom that is |
23:24.50 | Monet | It's early-instalment wierdness. We were not sure of our project, we were all still inexperienced, a bit young. |
23:25.31 | Monet | Not sure what we wanted our universe to be. So it ended up peculiar compared to the coherent universe we have now. |
23:27.06 | ImpyDroid | I have always thought our universe was a bit weird |
23:27.14 | ImpyDroid | But I accept it as it is |
23:27.51 | Monet | By the sounds of it, it used to be wierder |
23:28.17 | ImpyDroid | I'd say it started off more or less tsme |
23:28.28 | ImpyDroid | Then escalated into craziness |
23:28.31 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
23:28.43 | ImpyDroid | Then calmed down |
23:28.51 | ImpyDroid | Monet: Mushroom is Mushroom |
23:29.48 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
23:30.52 | ImpyDroid | Uh-uh |
23:31.04 | ImpyDroid | Uh-huh even |
23:35.27 | ImpyDroid | Well his fic was always a bit more OP than the others |
23:36.45 | ImpyDroid | Anyway gys |
23:36.50 | ImpyDroid | That being said though imagine if we ever wrote a story set in the Fictionverse, but in the time and place that is more grounded |
23:36.54 | ImpyDroid | In reality that is |
23:37.14 | ImpyDroid | But is tied somehow into the world of today |
23:37.23 | DrodoEmpire | That'd be interesting |
23:37.25 | Halopediaman | Bah, looks like I won't be finishing my writeup tonight DrodoEmpire |
23:37.32 | DrodoEmpire | Ah, okay |
23:37.38 | ImpyDroid | Like perhaps a fic set on 22nd century Earth |
23:38.20 | Monet | What sort of thing do you have in mind? |
23:38.24 | Monet | for this setting |
23:38.39 | Xho | ....like the Civ universe idea that we keep trying to float |
23:39.58 | Halopediaman | Actually, speaking of setting, is there a generally held "present" year in the Milky Way? |
23:40.07 | Xho | Yeah |
23:40.18 | Xho | Somewhere between 2811 - 2813 at the moment |
23:40.21 | Xho | Depending on who you ask |
23:40.22 | DrodoEmpire | Halopediaman: There's a clock you can download, but 2811-2813 |
23:40.30 | ImpyDroid | Monet: Something like rebuilding the old Earth from the nuclear apocalypse |
23:40.36 | Halopediaman | Neat, thanks |
23:44.10 | Halopediaman | I also don't suppose anyone knows the relatively backwater sections of the Milky Way, assuming there are any? Or maybe there is an abundance. It's hard to tell, lots of information to sift through. I want to avoid stepping on toes as it were. |
23:47.25 | Monet | The Milky Way isn't Star Wars |
23:47.51 | Monet | There's no "third galaxy" thing. |
23:50.06 | Halopediaman | I'm not familiar with that term. |
23:50.12 | ImpyDroid | ACTUALLT |
23:50.30 | ImpyDroid | What about making a story about the first human interstellar flight |
23:50.51 | Monet | Halopedia: Basically how rich/well-developed your planet or civ is isn't dependant on how lcose to the core of the galaxy you are |
23:51.23 | Monet | Always bugged me that the outer rim of the Star Wars Galaxy was basically like the Third World. |
23:53.07 | ImpyDroid | Guys? |
23:53.39 | Halopediaman | Oh, no, that's not what I meant. I noticed the galactic arms were broken into sectors and I was wondering if there were areas where people's work wasn't as dense that I could more easily justify my empire having little outside influence in its formative period. |
23:56.58 | Technobliterator | It's like that in Cyrannus, however |
23:58.53 | Monet | Cyrannus does take a fair bit of inspiration from Star Wars though. |
