IRC log for #sporewiki on 20160304

00:01.06HellrockSooo does anyone remember this log? http://infobot.rikers.org/%23sporewiki/20151102.html.gz
00:02.16DrodoEmpire_No, but now I do
00:02.23DrodoEmpire_As you've posted it
00:02.31DrodoEmpire_Why do you bring it up?
00:06.25HellrockSo  ever since it happened, it kinda left a scar on me.
00:07.50HellrockIf you continue reading it, just read what Hachi said.
00:08.24HellrockIn my opinion, the most insulting thing you can say to a new user is summarized by the following:
00:08.29Hellrock"You're not good enough to belong here".
00:09.08DrodoEmpire_Right, Hachi can be harsh, especially towards the new guy
00:09.19DrodoEmpire_Its just who he is.
00:09.27DrodoEmpire_I say just don't let it get to you and move on
00:09.52Wormy_What exactly did Hachi say? Was it  "Also your story is very laconic and far too much exposition for me to get invested in it" ?

00:10.07HellrockAs of today, I've been seeing the users making fun fiction universe projects. However, they're very busy as well, one time, I heard Oluap was on the 5 Titanpads.
00:10.18DrodoEmpire_And try not to bring up stuff from the past too much. For all the logs can begood for they're also great for starting drama
00:10.21HellrockYeah, I don't really wanna paint Hachi as a jerk though.
00:10.51DrodoEmpire_LIke I said then its probably just good to move on
00:11.10DrodoEmpire_Its not too big of a deal, I say
00:11.24DrodoEmpire_Hi Monet
00:11.31HellrockBack to everyone being busy, but at the same time having fun in the fiction universe, and in general, pretty much anything else, but what difference would there be if I ever stepped in?
00:12.43Wormy_That's hard to say.  It depends on how much you engage with the fiction universe, and what contacts you make with people here.  You could make a lot of difference, or none at all.
00:14.21Wormy_Main thing is to be patient, I've been developing the DCP-Vermulan War for at least 2 years now, and the Great Xonexian Schism for over one.  While Da Reckoning is being made very quickly.
00:15.58HellrockNot just the fiction universe, but everyone's priorities in general.
00:17.05HellrockI kinda planned to have a bigger user give me a boost, but there are smaller users, such as the Kaernk, or Ecoraptor, who already did that for me :)
00:17.32HellrockPatience is exactly what I have in mind.
00:18.13Technobliteratorin all honesty
00:18.20TechnobliteratorI would strongly push for removing logs completely
00:18.33TechnobliteratorI find they do way more harm than good
00:18.44Hellrockthe reason why I wanted to bring this up is to see what everyone's opinion is on me stepping into the community as of now.
00:18.58TechnobliteratorWell, you don't exactly need our permission
00:19.09Wormy_I oppose, if users something stupid and regrettable, then they should think twice.  I find the logs very useful to finding old conversations and links.
00:19.09DrodoEmpire_Tech: Right, we all know :p
00:19.26Wormy_*if users post something
00:19.30DrodoEmpire_I can see how they can be harmful
00:19.34DrodoEmpire_But I'd sooner keep them
00:19.43TechnobliteratorMy experience has been they've only ever been used for harm
00:20.22DrodoEmpire_Right, I think we've discussed this topic many many times
00:20.35TechnobliteratorI recall years ago people admitting they view the logs purely to see who's been talking about them behind their back - that to me shows toxicity
00:20.45DrodoEmpire_The community's made its decision I believe so I think its best to give it a rest
00:21.20Technobliteratoralthough
00:21.22Technobliteratorin all honesty
00:21.30MonetTechnobliterator: Tnat's not purely the logs' doing.
00:21.33Technobliteratorthere was a lot more cattiness going on
00:21.35Technobliteratorreally
00:21.38DrodoEmpire_Exactly. :p
00:21.43DrodoEmpire_That was *years* ago
00:21.46Wormy_Hiding the toxicity doesn't remove it, nor necessarily the sensation of being gossiped about.  I believe the chat should be encouraged to keep things cleaner in here.
00:21.47Technobliteratorlogs are just awful, I hate them, they're bad
00:21.59DrodoEmpire_Great
00:22.00TechnobliteratorI don't like someone having a record of everything I've said years ago
00:22.01MonetThis is a public channel, logs or no is this channe lrealyl the best place for gossip?
00:22.01DrodoEmpire_That's fine
00:22.20DrodoEmpire_But I think at least a small majority of people disagree with you
00:22.30Technobliteratoryou seem very defensive
00:22.42Technobliteratorthis is not a serious proposal
00:22.53MonetI agree with Wormy. Removing the logs might make people more inclined to gossip on the channel.
00:22.54DrodoEmpire_No, its just I'm pretty tired of having to talk about this every time the logs are mentioned
00:22.57Technobliteratorthis is the opinion of someone who has been here for years
00:23.13Technobliteratorand only ever seen logs thrown around in the most negative of discussions
00:23.34Wormy_I don't want to argue, I just don't think it helps encourage a civil IRC chat, and I like the logs, so this *is* a subjective issue anyway.
00:23.54HellrockYeah, I recalled the log simply because during that time, I felt like I was just being seen as a nuisance
00:24.15TechnobliteratorAs someone who has used channels with and without public logs, I have had a much better experience with the latter
00:24.22HellrockAnd I'm hoping that's still not the case :\
00:24.26Wormy_I think it' an important discussion for Hellrock to bring up.
00:24.31Technobliteratorlogs are literally Hitler
00:24.31DrodoEmpire_You're not a nuisance Hellrock
00:24.38Technobliteratoralso
00:24.46Technobliteratorno one called you a nuisance
00:24.53Technobliteratorthe problem was with entitlement
00:25.08HellrockAnd luckily no one will.
00:25.13Wormy_No of course not, if anything it exposes some resentment that was shown towards you.  I'm sorry you had this experience, it is not like that all the time.#
00:25.26DrodoEmpire_^
00:26.22TechnobliteratorMy stance has not changed since. We're busy people with busy lives who cannot read every fiction posted to the site
00:26.58*** join/#sporewiki AnonyLurk (44048e73@gateway/web/freenode/ip.68.4.142.115)
00:27.13AnonyLurkLot of people around today.
00:27.15Wormy_It looks to me that you came here with inexperience of IRC channels, rather than entitlement, and people were harsh.  They probably weren't attacking your character, but it probably felt like that to you.  The community needs to be more aware of these experiences of subjectivity.
00:27.51AnonyLurkConvenient time for me to pop in, it seems.
00:27.53AnonyLurkWhat's going on?
00:28.07HellrockJust talking about the negativity in this log http://infobot.rikers.org/%23sporewiki/20151102.html.gz
00:28.12DrodoEmpire_Hellrock: Now that I've had time to think yeah I was a little rude to you there
00:28.14DrodoEmpire_Sorry
00:28.28DrodoEmpire_Time to bury the hatchet I guess
00:28.38Wormy_However Jo is right, you can't always expect attention because either there is no-one about or several people talking at once.  Especially if you are newer here, it is harder to be noticed.
00:28.45DrodoEmpire_^
00:28.47DrodoEmpire_Right
00:28.53DrodoEmpire_So just keep that in mind and you're ood
00:28.54DrodoEmpire_*good
00:28.56DrodoEmpire_Not ood
00:29.05AnonyLurkRemember.
00:29.14AnonyLurkWhen in doubt, ping everyone's username at once.
00:29.18DrodoEmpire_^
00:29.20DrodoEmpire_For sure
00:29.21AnonyLurkIt'll work out /great/, I guarantee it.
00:29.33HellrockI have NO idea how to ping everyone's name XD
00:29.40AnonyLurkHellrock
00:29.40HellrockLet along ping at all.
00:29.48HellrockAnonyLurk
00:29.51HellrockJust testin'
00:29.56AnonyLurkThere you go.
00:30.46HellrockI wasn't really looking for attention, kinda more like support or acknowledgement
00:30.59DrodoEmpire_That's no problem
00:31.04DrodoEmpire_All I see is a miscommunication
00:31.35TechnobliteratorMore specifically, the negativity generated from the fact that the log exists
00:31.35Technobliterator;)
00:31.35AnonyLurkI take it that Hellrock is new?
00:31.44TechnobliteratorI don't know how to say this without sounding like a brag, but I'm currently leading the biggest collaborative story on the wiki, and have led ones as big before, and even then I don't get many people consistently giving feedback, even if I've somehow found out that someone else had actually read it and not really given their opinion.
00:31.45TechnobliteratorPeople not immediately responding is not exclusive to new users
00:32.39HellrockI've been around for a few months, but yeah, I'm a new user.
00:32.47Technobliteratorwell
00:32.47DrodoEmpire_Luckily, that wasn't ever said Jo :p
00:32.49AnonyLurkNice to meet you.
00:32.57Hellrock*handshake*
00:33.01Technobliteratorcompared to me
00:33.06AnonyLurkshakes Hellrock's hand
00:33.08Technobliteratorall y'all mofuckers are new
00:33.13Technobliteratorexcept Wormy and Random anyway
00:33.26AnonyLurksuddenly realizes it's some kind of weird tentacle monstrosity, because this is SporeWiki and who needs normal limbs anyway?
00:34.01Wormy_That's something I wanted to bring up, sometimes fictions I make or am involved with won't make much attention, while others will.
00:34.20DrodoEmpire_Its hit and miss yeah
00:34.21Wormy_And I'm "older" than most users active here.
00:34.33DrodoEmpire_Nobody's "fault" really
00:34.49TechnobliteratorI can't really tell how people are taking Da Reckoning
00:34.53Technobliteratorbecause not many people comment on it
00:34.59AnonyLurkThe fact of the matter is that the way new fiction is discovered on this website is by one of two methods.
00:35.05Technobliteratorbut I know that I'm enjoying writing it
00:35.08AnonyLurkEither someone sees it update on the sidebar, or they get linked to it by another piece of fiction.
00:35.09Technobliteratorso I keep doing it
00:35.13DrodoEmpire_Tech: I love it personally
00:35.17Technobliterator^.^
00:35.27AnonyLurkTherefore, it is not the best or most well written fictions which receive the most attention, but rather the fiction which is most often referenced by other fictions.
00:35.30AnonyLurkSee: Tigris War.
00:35.32Wormy_I enjoyed reading Ghelae's section btw.  Big space pizza ovens, he's a genius.
00:35.35DrodoEmpire_I've finished up an intro piece actually for me and Charles' contribution (before we RP properly)
00:35.39Technobliteratoroh god
00:35.53Technobliteratorthe original Tigris War was actually pretty poor compared to our standards now
00:36.03Technobliteratorand yeah
00:36.05AnonyLurkI don't mean to be rude.
00:36.08AnonyLurkBut it's bad fanfiction.
00:36.08Technobliteratorghel's section was great
00:36.16Technobliteratorhahaha
00:36.18Technobliteratorthis is true
00:36.24Technobliteratororiginal Tigris War was not good
00:36.27AnonyLurkHow old were you, specifically, when you made your contribution to it?
00:36.32Technobliteratoruh
00:36.32Wormy_I agree, I cringe looking at my sections
00:36.33TechnobliteratorMe?
00:36.34AnonyLurkI'm curious what the median age of the writers was.
00:36.36Wormy_15
00:36.38TechnobliteratorUhh
00:36.42Technobliterator12, I think
00:36.55Wormy_I'm 22 this year
00:37.06AnonyLurkWas it ever rewritten?
00:37.08Wormy_Getting old, already have grey hairs
00:37.08AnonyLurkOr no.
00:37.19Wormy_We are in the process of re-writing it
00:37.23TechnobliteratorWe're getting to rewriting it, slowly
00:37.23DrodoEmpire_Right yeah
00:37.23Wormy_slowly
00:37.29DrodoEmpire_Slooowly.
00:37.41AnonyLurkHow long has that been going on?
00:37.42TechnobliteratorBecause as you said, it's very crucial since it's, well, the first ever fiction written
00:37.45Technobliteratoruh
00:37.50Technobliteratorit's been on and off for years
00:37.58TechnobliteratorI'll probably get to it after Da Reckoning and a short story following that
00:38.13AnonyLurkYou should be ashamed tbh fam.
00:38.20Wormy_Anonlurk:  I've been working on http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:War_of_Ages/Tigris_War/The_Great_Expedition
00:38.26Wormy_a prelude
00:38.47HellrockI've heard that you're re-writing the War of Ages as well?
00:38.51DrodoEmpire_anony a savage tho eks deedeedee *ok hand emoji*
00:39.14HellrockSo I've also heard that Kamik'shi is no longer canon, and replaced by Draguros.
00:39.27DrodoEmpire_Right, the whole thing's getting a rewrite
00:39.32DrodoEmpire_Though its happening real slowly
00:39.37AnonyLurkI can't not laugh when I go to War of Ages, go to the last installment before Ascension, and read the final battle between Not!Satan and "Blue Glowy Scimitar Fighter Alien Guy".
00:39.39AnonyLurkWhatever his name was.
00:39.41AnonyLurkKiller?
00:39.53AnonyLurkI hope you can forgive me.
00:39.59DrodoEmpire_Which is unfortunate because I'd like to contribute to it >.<
00:39.59Wormy_My style is speculative sci-fi so I went full Interstellar with it, rather than space fantasy like the original Tigris War was
00:41.04DrodoEmpire_I dunno what my writing style is. I've been here for a bazillion years and I haven't wrote many stories proer
00:41.06DrodoEmpire_*proper
00:41.16DrodoEmpire_I've done enough worldbuilding to last a lifetime though
00:41.24HellrockYeah, it kinda felt like Paul Bunyan became a demon :\
00:41.29HellrockJust sayin'
00:41.31AnonyLurkI feel like changing anything but the grammar somewhat causes it to lose its charm, though.
00:42.00AnonyLurkIt's a cute fiction written by seven or eight people, who didn't have someone old enough to drive between them.
00:42.13AnonyLurkMaking it anything else than what it is, I find somewhat sad.
00:42.25AnonyLurkLike packing your childhood toys in boxes, and replacing them with shitty adult toys.
00:42.37DrodoEmpire_Meh
00:42.43AnonyLurkFleshlights.
00:42.43DrodoEmpire_There's the charm sure
00:42.46AnonyLurkWhat are they even good for?
00:42.58DrodoEmpire_Well...
00:43.04AnonyLurkRhetorical question.
00:43.18Wormy_When we started writing the War of Ages, it literally was a bunch of people in the mode of playing rather than a pursuit of fiction writing.  That changed very quickly though.
00:43.50Wormy_It was done as a fun game, nothing more.  That's why it looks like fandom.
00:43.58AnonyLurkThat's what makes it what it is.
00:44.14MonetThen I'm guessing you guys discovered how much more freedo mthere is to writing.
00:44.18AnonyLurkWe're not professional writers here, by any stretch of the imagination.
00:44.34AnonyLurkWe're a group of creative people with the confidence to write and a common interest to give us a setting.
00:44.48AnonyLurkWith a canon.
00:44.53DrodoEmpire_Right
00:44.58MonetI've come ot lear nthe difference between an expert and a professional is that the latter gets paid for doing such.
00:45.03Wormy_Yes, though I'd say our ego's developed a bit which fuels a more professional style of writing.
00:45.54AnonyLurkhttp://imgur.com/xEa981Z
00:45.58Wormy_Me and drom for example had a debate writing The Great Expedition about what kind of narrative voice to use.
00:46.10AnonyLurkThis isn't exactly professional writing, to put it bluntly.
00:46.24AnonyLurkBut it's cute, creative, and you have the confidence to go out there and do it, which is more than most people can say.
00:46.36Wormy_How can't it at least look professional?
00:46.47AnonyLurkAnd it gets better over time, which is all anyone honing a skill can truthfully hope for.
00:47.01AnonyLurkBeing a better writer, musician, video game player is a road rather than a destination.
00:48.58AnonyLurk"How can't it at least look professional?" Not sure if you're asking "Why doesn't the example cited in Imgur look professional" or "Why can't it look professional", so I'll answer both.
00:49.05MonetMy best guess is keep goign writing like its a novella.
00:50.04AnonyLurkTo answer the former, it's mostly due to formatting and the choice of adjectives used.
00:50.21AnonyLurk"Biggest" instead of "Largest".
00:50.35Wormy_I was asking for the latter really.  I'll admit my style in Great Expedition fades in and out of novella style and short paragraphs or character dialogue.  But I'm not writing a book really and the wiki gives me more space to string things together.  I don't know what by professional you are comparing it to.
00:50.50Wormy_And anyway, that's a draft.  It is unfinished work.
00:50.56DrodoEmpire_Yeah... I've seen books written all kinds of ways
00:51.03DrodoEmpire_Not sure what you mean by "professional"
00:51.12AnonyLurkI hold myself to the standards of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
00:51.14TechnobliteratorTo me, it's never been about writing seriously good fiction, it's always been about just fun
00:51.18Technobliteratorso I don't really care
00:51.19AnonyLurkIt's kind of mediocre, but it's written in modern style.
00:51.42MonetANonyLurk: Quick tip about the imgur post - hide your tabs and taskbar.
00:52.12AnonyLurkMonet, I could care less about what people see there.  It's not like I have Cheese Pizza open in another tab.
00:52.22Technobliteratoruh
00:52.30Wormy_What do tou make of http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:War_of_Ages/Tigris_War/The_Great_Expedition#The_Tigris_galaxy  ?
00:52.31Technobliteratorit doesn't really reveal anything
00:52.35Wormy_*you
00:52.41AnonyLurkMe?
00:53.04Wormy_yeah
00:53.16HellrockI gtg, later.
00:53.17AnonyLurkI'll read this and then give my opinion.
00:53.18MonetSome taskbars can reveal your antivirus software.
00:53.26AnonyLurkThis is a little long so it might take a while.
00:53.34DrodoEmpire_See ya Hellrock
00:54.02MonetApologies if it sounds like I saw something inappropriate. I didn't. But I regularly take screenshots for university.
00:55.04MonetI myself am a little more cautious about showing what I have open alongside Photoshop.
00:55.10AnonyLurkI appreciate your concern and advice.
00:55.12AnonyLurkThank you.
00:55.25AnonyLurkI'm short on time, have to go in fifteen minutes, so I'm just going to comment on the first paragraph.
00:55.50AnonyLurk"The Star Sailor..." to "...Organic compounds and polymers".
00:56.08Technobliteratori'm so lucky I don't have to use antivirus
00:56.30AnonyLurkLet it be said before my commentary that I have nothing against anyone here personally, and am doing this on request in the interest of the production of better literature.
00:56.58AnonyLurkI am also not a professional writer, educator, or have any qualifications to speak of aside from the fact that I am very well read due to a habit of listening to audiobooks in the car and as I go to sleep.
00:57.35AnonyLurkLet's start at the first sentence; "The Star Sailor dipped into an SSA communication laser, Kilnok was disheartened to find there had slow progress of the colony."
00:58.07DrodoEmpire_Oh boy sentence by sentence <.<
00:58.08TechnobliteratorI personally groan at that. The fiction universe is about fun, not about producing high quality literature.
00:58.20DrodoEmpire_Tech: That's fine and I'd agree
00:58.25AnonyLurkNever mind, have to go to make it to work on time.
00:58.25DrodoEmpire_Still, Wormy literally asked for it
00:58.29AnonyLurkWill return to chat in 30 minutes.
00:58.34DrodoEmpire_Alright
00:58.35AnonyLurkThis gives me time to give a better analysis anyway.
00:58.36DrodoEmpire_See you then
00:58.51Wormy_Can you post it on my talk page?
00:58.55AnonyLurkI'm going to be salty if Wormy's not sitll here, though.
00:58.56AnonyLurkNo account.
00:58.57Wormy_I need to be gone as well
00:58.59AnonyLurkHave to go.
00:59.02AnonyLurkDammet.
00:59.06Technobliteratoryou dont need one
00:59.08Technobliteratoryou can post as an IP
00:59.09AnonyLurkI'll work it out when I'm back.
00:59.11AnonyLurkSee you.
01:00.22TechnobliteratorI'm sorry, but one someone starts out with a sentence like that, my immediate assumption is they're just going to be a douche about a hobby no one's trying to turn into a serious profession
01:01.20TechnobliteratorI thought of it at one point to be fair, but then I just realised that once you have to write professionally with all these millions of literary techniques and with this high standard, then it's no longer fun for me.
01:01.48Wormy_I asked AnonyLurk to give some criticism because I wanted to get down to what he actually means.  If by professional = published work, I fully agree.  I would not post of any my fiction into a book for publishing without reworking it.
01:02.33TechnobliteratorYeah, it'd need to be rewritten from scratch in that case
01:04.24Wormy_At the same time, I think it still reads like a novella but on the freedom the wiki grants to me to not be so strict.  I believe I could write it into a better structure if I really wanted to, but what you see there is the best I can do while writing fiction quickly.
01:05.18Wormy_I anticipate Lurk's criticism will be that you would never start a chapter like  "The Star Sailor dipped into an SSA communication laser, Kilnok was disheartened to find there had slow progress of the colony."
01:05.39Wormy_However, the context already exists on the fiction page in the section above
01:05.52TechnobliteratorThe best I see coming out of the fiction universe is maybe a movie series like the MCU
01:06.49MonetThat...could be interesting
01:07.03MonetChallenging, but interesting.

05:04.28HalopediamanThat makes me think of the Chicken Nugger video

07:12.14HalopediamanSo
07:12.22HalopediamanIt appears I got a little carried away
07:13.15HalopediamanAnd I created a monsterous wall of text just for history, which isn't even a 'completed' section
07:14.35AnonyLurkLemme see.
07:14.40AnonyLurkI'm curious.
07:15.45HalopediamanOh dear lord, I thought I had the link copied and almost posted the entire thing I just copy and pasted into IRC <_<
07:15.54Halopediamanhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Staurol_Confederation
07:17.09HalopediamanIf you can be assed to read it I'd be much appreciative for any assistance on cleanup, or really any form of assistance on anything.
07:17.24AnonyLurkI'm known to be a hard critic.
07:17.51Halopediaman:x
07:18.36AnonyLurkWhen you say "Four milky way nations", do you mean spacefaring empires, or nations on one planet?
07:18.59HalopediamanSpacefaring empires.
07:20.54HalopediamanI was cautious on using the term nations because when I think of the term 'nation' I don't think of inter-planetary entities, but I was trying to emulate terminology used across several fictions. If that's the correct term, great, if not, definitely open to suggestions.
07:23.32Wormy_I think it is okay, but to sound less Earthly, I sometimes say "society"  or "civilisation".  "Faction" or "empire" are also possible but not always appropriate.
07:23.59HalopediamanSociety would be a good one.
07:24.40AnonyLurkHere.
07:24.53AnonyLurkI rewrote the first paragraph for you.
07:24.54AnonyLurkhttp://pastebin.com/PiLFXU58
07:24.57AnonyLurkMaybe you like it more, or less.
07:25.01AnonyLurkI just thought I'd contribute.
07:25.05AnonyLurkIt's Wikia, after all.
07:25.41Wormy_bbl
07:25.47AnonyLurkNot the highest quality but it's late and I desire sleep, I hope it's okay.
07:26.12AnonyLurkI wanted to say "Law and Order" instead of the whole "Justice" thing, but that sounded weird to me.
07:26.36AnonyLurkWhat do you think?
07:27.54HalopediamanI like it, save the use of the term 'voluntary'. I'm not sure how far you may have glanced into the history, but it's only really voluntary for 2.5 of the founding members.
07:28.25AnonyLurkI haven't, I just felt like it needed an adjective there.
07:28.42AnonyLurkFeel free to replace it with something else.
07:29.11Halopediaman"with the unification" sound any better?
07:30.19Halopediamanor perhaps "in the unification". Also, don't let me keep you from sleep.
07:30.43AnonyLurkI would just say "By the unification".
07:30.47AnonyLurkOr "Through the unification".
07:30.52AnonyLurk"With" sounds informal.
07:30.54AnonyLurkTo me.
07:31.02HalopediamanFair enough
07:31.26AnonyLurkI also forgot to put a "Y" at the end of "Galaxy".
07:31.30AnonyLurkDamn it's late.
07:31.40HalopediamanI caught that one, don't worry. :P
07:31.51AnonyLurk"Derives its name from its adopted capital" might sound better, as well.
07:32.00AnonyLurkI'm going to go, I'll obsess over this all night otherwise.
07:32.17AnonyLurkNo offense intended.
07:32.20AnonyLurkGood luck with your story!
07:32.23HalopediamanFair enough.
07:32.28HalopediamanEnjoy your sleep session.

07:32.43AnonyLurkSee you in the morning.

19:56.12Wormy_No sleep tonight
20:01.02Wormy_I just had a sudden story idea
20:02.43Wormy_Certain people get abducted by aliens, and have implants placed in vital areas of their body.  Removal means death, but the technology is known to some secret government or above government agency which hunts down these people to get their implants.
20:03.59Wormy_It could be set before advanced surveillance of the digital age, or they may not be able to hide for long.
20:09.05GhelaeSome of those "experiments" give the impression that aliens never invented anything non-invasive like the MRI scanner.
20:10.16Wormy_Yeah
20:10.47Wormy_And why do they need to take new tissue all the time, when they could probably create so much from one tissue sample?

23:46.43XhoWarmongers
23:46.57XhoThe act of it is warmongering
23:47.02Technobliteratorah
23:47.09MonetActually I'm starting to dislike the current prison systme philosophy.
23:47.12TechnobliteratorI'm trying to redo the Loron intro paragraphs
23:47.29HachimanI have been opposed to the prison philosophy of the UK for a long time
23:47.31TechnobliteratorI have to refer to thesauruses a lot
23:47.36Monet"This guy spent time in prison? FILTHY CRIMINAL SCUM!"
23:47.44XhoNO ONE BREAKS THE LAW ON MY WATCH
23:47.45HachimanOh
23:47.58HachimanDepends on the criminal I suppose
23:48.10XhoI do think that particular criminals should be given a rehabilitation process
23:48.18MonetIt goes against the idea of rehabilitation though.
23:48.29XhoCertainly not rapists or murderers
23:48.39HachimanIdeally, drug addicts should be rehabilitated rather than imprisoned so long as the have yet to cause harm to anyone
23:49.17HachimanThe Swedish approach to combating drug abuse is genius actually
23:49.31MonetYeah my main gripe is that right now, no matter what its for, once you enter the prison system you are ocndemned for life by society.
23:49.51HachimanThey help addicts by slowly weaning them off of drugs like heroin rather than forcing them to go cold turkey immediately
23:50.04HachimanAnd they supply them with healthy facilities
23:50.34MonetThough I suppose it could relate to how 1) the American prison system is harsh as hell, 2) whenever osmeone thinks "prison" the image is of the maximum or super-max variety.

23:52.11HachimanNixon's War on Drugs has been a massive failure and has caused more harm than it has done good due to approaching the issue in the wrong way
23:52.39MonetSo the guy who has been sentenced for stealing a TV goes in the same prison as Wifestrangler McTavish.
23:52.49Hachimanhur
23:52.52MonetExcept i ntruth he doesn't.
23:53.09MonetAnd I agree with the war o ndrugs.
23:53.43MonetAfter all it was the Mafia who benefitted the most back i nthe 1920s.
23:54.13HalopediamanHachiman, that's because we aren't fighting the war
23:54.33HalopediamanThe obvious answer are drone strikes on American soil.
23:54.44Monetfrom Prohibition. Beer, wine, cocaine, heroin, once you force peope lto stop consuming it, the guys who don't care for the rule will bootleg it.
23:56.40Monetiirc (at least in England) the level of security in the prison you are sentenced to depends on your likelihood to harm yourself and/or others.
23:56.54HachimanThe philosophy of the War on Drugs, if I recall, is that by decreasing availability it would boost prices which in turn counters a rise in demand; except for drugs that does not work
23:57.29HachimanThere will always be a lot of demand for drugs no matter the pricing and it instead causes people to undergo more extreme and desperate means in order to have itavailable to them
23:57.32MonetHachiman: Yeah. People will pay any price.
23:57.37Technobliteratorwar on drugs is bad
23:57.44Technobliteratorand is specifically designed to target minorities
23:58.09HalopediamanWhich is why you win the war through drone strikes on suspected drug dens.
23:58.32XhoFREEDOM
23:58.40HachimanAye; white teenagers are more prone to attain and abuse drugs yet black teenagers and children from other minority groups in the US are far more likely to be arrested and tried for drug possession and abuse
23:59.05OluapPlayerThe logic course of action is logically to purge all whites
23:59.07MonetYeah I'm not so sure on the the "X law t ohurt minorities" conspiracy.
23:59.22HalopediamanMore prone on a per capita basis or strictly in amount attaining?
23:59.27MonetIt sounds more like a correlation than a causation.
