| 00:00.10 | Hachiman | Not sure, I am trying to remember the details behind the statistic |
| 00:00.39 | Halopediaman | Monet, the law may not have that intent, but those who enforce and intrepret the law may. Not that I'm saying that's the case, just saying. |
| 00:00.49 | Technobliterator | It's very clear that it has that intent |
| 00:01.01 | Technobliterator | In the States, at least |
| 00:01.11 | Hachiman | Basically as far as I know, while less white teenagers have been arrested than teenagers from minority groups, more white teenagers have been found possession or affiliation with drugs than the minority teens |
| 00:01.24 | Hachiman | *in possession of |
| 00:01.32 | Monet | Halopediaman: Yeah that's what I'm thinking: It wasn't intended for minorities but said groups tend to be worse off and thus are more likely to turn to crime or use of illegal substances. |
| 00:01.37 | Technobliterator | If you're poor and you try to get on welfare, a law was introduced that you have to first be tested for use of drugs |
| 00:01.54 | Technobliterator | But corporate welfare? Do you think anyone ever tested them for use of drugs first? |
| 00:02.57 | Monet | Technobliterator: Again no guarentee it was aimed at minorities as not every white perso nin America is rich. |
| 00:03.45 | Hachiman | It is ironic that by increasing the availability of drugs as certain states and countries have done, drug-related crimes have been reduced yet politicians and idiots are ignorant of the statistics |
| 00:04.09 | Technobliterator | If you believe institutionalised racism does not exist, I urge you to look it up, because it does |
| 00:04.32 | Monet | I'm not saying it doesn't. |
| 00:05.18 | Technobliterator | Although, the ethnic group which earns the best average wage is asians, not whites |
| 00:05.27 | Hachiman | Actually it is not ironic at all; if the State supplies drug facilities, they also provide less potentially harmful and far more hygienic and effective service than non-State drug dealers |
| 00:05.41 | DrodoEmpire | Right, I personally am very skeptical something such as institutionalized racism exists. :p |
| 00:05.41 | Technobliterator | Blacks are lowest overall, which isn't a surprise |
| 00:05.43 | Hachiman | State drugs are less distilled and work more efficiently than street drugs |
| 00:05.43 | Halopediaman | Hachiman, if you mean legalization (and not like, just flooding the market with illegal drugs), I'm not surprised that the number of illegal activities tied to legalized substances goes down. :P |
| 00:05.55 | Technobliterator | DrodoEmpire: This is very easy for you to say when you live in Canada |
| 00:06.03 | Technobliterator | Where it's basically non-existent |
| 00:06.10 | Halopediaman | Oh, I see what you're saying. |
| 00:06.15 | DrodoEmpire | And you live in the UK? |
| 00:06.30 | Hachiman | The UK is surprisingly quite racist |
| 00:06.33 | Hachiman | Actually |
| 00:06.34 | DrodoEmpire | And not see the hypocrisy of making judgements of my country? |
| 00:06.36 | Hachiman | Not surprisingly at all |
| 00:06.46 | Halopediaman | DrodoEmpire, you activated my trap card. |
| 00:06.59 | Monet | HAchiman: Not as bad as the US. |
| 00:07.13 | Hachiman | I dunno |
| 00:07.26 | Hachiman | Islamophobia is on a rapid increase |
| 00:07.33 | Xho | Social media's a pretty good representation of how racist the UK is, but then again social media generally exaggerates everything |
| 00:07.33 | Technobliterator | Institutional racism is not as bad here as in the US, though racism in general probably is |
| 00:07.57 | Monet | The UK didn't have a civil war over whether or not blacks deserve the right to live as free citizens. |
| 00:08.01 | Xho | I've been in the presence of racial abuse more than once at work |
| 00:08.26 | Xho | Which is quite funny because they're being racist towards Indians without the knowledge that I'm of Indian descent |
| 00:08.38 | DrodoEmpire | Anyway, do some groups of people, as an average, have it worse? Yes, of course. Are there racists in the US? plenty. Does that mean the US's government institutions are legally stacked towards or against a race? No, this isn't apartheid South Africa |
| 00:08.55 | The_Randomness | but dae murica is le worst? |
| 00:09.14 | Monet | Apartheid is an exampel of institutionalised racism. |
| 00:09.45 | Technobliterator | I think it's very naive to say that there are no examples of institutional racism |
| 00:09.53 | Technobliterator | They're subtle, but they still exist |
| 00:10.02 | DrodoEmpire | Right, and its absurd to say US has something like it. Racism abounds in the US but to say it is built within the system of government as a rule is insane |
| 00:10.18 | DrodoEmpire | Right, and that's probably because *individual* racists get into some position of power |
| 00:10.19 | Xho | Jesus Christ I actually hate these discussions |
| 00:10.42 | Hachiman | At least we are not talking about sexism and extremist feminism |
| 00:10.45 | DrodoEmpire | That, or these subtle things can be explained, even partially, as something else. |
| 00:11.00 | Xho | Radical feminism's almost comedic though |
| 00:11.14 | Hachiman | Almost comedic were it not for the fact that it is actually dangerous |
| 00:11.17 | The_Randomness | I don't think it's fair to call that feminism at all |
| 00:11.22 | DrodoEmpire | Hachi: Ahreed |
| 00:11.24 | DrodoEmpire | *Agree |
| 00:11.28 | DrodoEmpire | *agreed |
| 00:11.48 | Xho | Eh well I wasn't the one who coined the term |
| 00:11.48 | DrodoEmpire | The_Randomness: Its completely fair, really. Beware the No True Scotsman fallacy |
| 00:12.00 | DrodoEmpire | Their an extremist element, but they're still feminists |
| 00:12.02 | Xho | But still, world needs a reset button |
| 00:12.04 | DrodoEmpire | (they're |
| 00:12.19 | Monet | There is unfairness in the system. But the United States is also a country where your level of disposable income is a strong indicator of your social standing. |
| 00:13.09 | The_Randomness | I understand that, but I don't think I'll bother to try to press my point |
| 00:13.37 | Hachiman | Institutionalized homophobia on the other hand |
| 00:13.44 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 00:13.55 | DrodoEmpire | Something that actually has a law and is actually discouraged |
| 00:14.02 | Monet | So for me it's a bit of a simplification to say that colour or ethinicity alone is the root of institutionalsied racism in the United States. |
| 00:14.05 | Hachiman | Far more prevalent and less subtle |
| 00:14.09 | Hachiman | Well |
| 00:14.13 | Hachiman | Equally as prevalent maybe |
| 00:14.36 | Xho | I believe that's called capitalism is it not |
| 00:14.51 | Xho | Actually why am I taking part in this discussion, I need to go to sleep |
| 00:15.04 | Halopediaman | Sleep is for the weak |
| 00:15.18 | Xho | Hm well you keep believing that |
| 00:15.41 | Hachiman | ORE WA OCHINCHIN GA DAISUKI NANDAYO |
| 00:15.54 | Halopediaman | wut |
| 00:17.25 | Monet | It might be that "these rules are in palce to make life for the poor difficult. Shame that minorities tend ot be poorer than everyone else" |
| 00:18.17 | Monet | A mix of history and circumstance. |
| 00:18.26 | DrodoEmpire | I wouldn't say its *intentionally* to make the poor poorer, but in a large way yes |
| 00:18.55 | DrodoEmpire | Racism does exist but its the actions of individuals, or even the organization at a local level (police departments for example) |
| 00:19.54 | Monet | Were Congress to pass laws that are explicitly stated to disadvantage one or more minority groups, they'd risk not being re-elected. |
| 00:20.15 | Halopediaman | Honestly I don't think legislatures sit down and think of ways to put down the little man, be they non-white or poor. I think what they do is sit down and say "what makes more money for me?" |
| 00:20.22 | Wormy_ | DrodoEmpire: Actually I think generalising all feminists only creates more tension between different sides of the arguments, it obscures and weakens discourse through paranoid labels. Many feminists I know are not actually very aware of SJWs, that's because feminism is a broad category. To such feminists, comparing them with SJW's is a debasement of their values and you would not be understood |
| 00:20.28 | Halopediaman | Monet, depends on which house of COngress and from what state they come from. |
| 00:20.37 | Hachiman | Monet: Except look at how popular Trump is becoming and what he promises |
| 00:20.42 | Wormy_ | What needs to happen is that feminists need to criticise the radical fringe |
| 00:20.45 | Halopediaman | House members can get away with a lot more than Senators. |
| 00:20.57 | DrodoEmpire | Wormy_: I never said that though |
| 00:20.58 | Monet | Hachiman: Trump's popular because he makes every other candidate look drop-dead boring. |
| 00:21.06 | DrodoEmpire | I never said "oh just group them all together" |
| 00:21.30 | DrodoEmpire | Monet: Right. He's not the establishment candidate so people like him, even if he's utterly contradictory |
| 00:22.27 | Monet | DrodoEmpire: THat or, to some, he's makeing politics look interesting again. |
| 00:22.33 | Technobliterator | This is a discussion I've had many times, and don't care to have again. |
| 00:22.54 | DrodoEmpire | I said that trying to disassociate one radical element, or an element you personally disagree with is wrong |
| 00:23.34 | Technobliterator | But if you want to live in denial of the multitude of issues that ethnic minorities have to face even today, solely for the profit of the big guys on top then go ahead |
| 00:24.41 | DrodoEmpire | Except I never said that |
| 00:24.47 | Wormy_ | Drodo: Apologies if I misunderstood, but... <@The_Randomness> I don't think it's fair to call that feminism at all <DrodoEmpire> Its completely fair, really. |
| 00:24.57 | DrodoEmpire | And that's the biggest strawman I've ever heard |
| 00:25.01 | DrodoEmpire | (To tech) |
| 00:26.06 | The_Randomness | brb collecting my sellout bucks |
| 00:26.09 | DrodoEmpire | Right, I interpreted what Randomness said as "I don't think its fair to call that (radical feminism) feminism at all) |
| 00:26.10 | The_Randomness | :^) |
| 00:26.12 | DrodoEmpire | *" |
| 00:26.23 | DrodoEmpire | To which I respond that it perhaps is fair to |
| 00:27.02 | Halopediaman | 'completely fair' =/= 'perhaps is fair' |
| 00:27.21 | DrodoEmpire | Completely fair, if you wish to be pedanti |
| 00:27.22 | DrodoEmpire | *c |
| 00:27.26 | DrodoEmpire | What I said is right there |
| 00:27.50 | Wormy_ | Okay, given that premise. Rad feminists will call themselves feminists. It's a broad category, though in most people's minds feminism is more like gender egalitarianism with "fem" in the name to empower and identify with women's perspective |
| 00:28.32 | Wormy_ | What I worry is that on the internet at least, the meaning of feminism has changed to only SJWs |
| 00:28.50 | DrodoEmpire | Is that without reason though> |
| 00:28.51 | DrodoEmpire | *? |
| 00:28.52 | Wormy_ | Like how all leftists get conflated with the far left |
| 00:29.03 | DrodoEmpire | Is even that without reason? |
| 00:29.13 | Technobliterator | They've hurt the movement a lot more than they've helped it, yes |
| 00:29.18 | Technobliterator | More or less destroyed the movement |
| 00:29.32 | Wormy_ | I think so. I think social media creates bubbles of "internet gettoes" that look more powerful and numerous than they are |
| 00:29.49 | DrodoEmpire | Because, and I say this as a leftist, both far leftists and radical feminists are the largest and, therefore, most influential (in a sense) voices in the movement? |
| 00:29.56 | Wormy_ | Most people I know in their 30s+ don't know what SJW means |
| 00:30.10 | DrodoEmpire | That's right |
| 00:30.19 | DrodoEmpire | But lots of young people do and that's what makes me worry |
| 00:30.34 | Wormy_ | How do you know you are just not seeing the bad, because social media is structured to what you want to see? |
| 00:30.39 | Wormy_ | Precisely |
| 00:31.04 | Wormy_ | Young people are in danger of conflating all of feminism with this |
| 00:31.19 | DrodoEmpire | Young people in danger of picking up these crazy ideas. |
| 00:31.20 | Halopediaman | I highly doubt they're the largest or most influential. They're the loudest however. |
| 00:31.31 | DrodoEmpire | Which can mean lots of people hear them |
| 00:31.39 | DrodoEmpire | Wormy: Well, I don't *want* to see it is the thing |
| 00:31.44 | DrodoEmpire | And I know of he moderates |
| 00:31.46 | DrodoEmpire | *the |
| 00:31.57 | Monet | Halo's right. |
| 00:32.27 | Halopediaman | But it doesn't make them a majority, or even a plurality. |
| 00:32.29 | Wormy_ | I've also seen plenty of media sites like The Guardian purposefully creating conflicts, with titles like "Gamers are the new right", or "The Reverant was mysonginist", with stupid articles designed as. clickbait. |
| 00:32.38 | Monet | The power of the vocal minority is down to who has the loudest megaphone really. |
| 00:32.59 | Wormy_ | Nah |
| 00:33.08 | Halopediaman | Or the most megaphones. |
| 00:33.09 | Wormy_ | I don't believe that anymore, I think it's an illusion |
| 00:33.21 | Wormy_ | Let me tell why I have come to think that |
| 00:33.30 | DrodoEmpire | He is, but being the loudest is great as then lots of people can hear your ideas and consider them. Many may reject them (hopefully) but many others might agree |
| 00:34.19 | DrodoEmpire | So you might go from a minority to staying, perhaps, a minority but having many others at least partially in agreement |
| 00:34.21 | Halopediaman | And they're still not a majority or a plurality, and thus not in a position to justify a whole new definition to be drawn up. |
| 00:34.32 | Technobliterator | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Creature:Loron - redone intro a bit |
| 00:34.38 | Technobliterator | I think I may finally be happy with this page |
| 00:34.43 | Wormy_ | 1) During the UK elections, everyone of my friends who were leftists were absolutely convinced Labour would win. All their media supported that illusion. Meanwhile, all the Tories were convinced they were going to win, they did, but they still inhabited a bubble |
| 00:35.03 | Halopediaman | Technobliterator, your link has broken my internet :P |
| 00:35.08 | Technobliterator | wat |
| 00:35.37 | Halopediaman | Took way too long for my browser to load it, not serious. |
| 00:35.40 | Wormy_ | 2) Everyone believed the Arab Spring would bring on democracy from leaders to academics, a few years down the line, it only brought civil war. |
| 00:35.47 | Technobliterator | huh |
| 00:35.56 | Technobliterator | There shouldn't be anything too wrong with it? ?_? |
| 00:35.58 | Wormy_ | The power of social media is no certainty at all |
| 00:36.04 | Technobliterator | I may need to check |
| 00:36.07 | Halopediaman | I doubt it was the link. |
| 00:36.31 | DrodoEmpire | Wormy_: No it doesn't. But its had its successes and it remains an area where ideas can (and should) be discussed |
| 00:36.51 | DrodoEmpire | So in the meantime I think I might stick to my guns here. :p |
| 00:37.01 | Wormy_ | SJW's think they have power, but all I've seen is websites like The Guardian giving them a platform to write only to cause arguments and clickbait. Nobody benefits but The Guardian from such sources. And I just mean that particular outlet. |
| 00:37.26 | Wormy_ | *And I *don't* just |
| 00:38.04 | Wormy_ | I think the problem is inflated and polarised in social media to be worse than it is. But it is causing damage |
| 00:38.37 | DrodoEmpire | Right, many publications do have those hires. I'm not convinced that its a pragmatic decision for more clicks |
| 00:38.38 | Halopediaman | Technobliterator, are those mouth...things solid or tentacles? |
| 00:38.47 | DrodoEmpire | Though it could be |
| 00:39.01 | Technobliterator | Well, in-game they're solid, so I just always assumed they are |
| 00:39.09 | DrodoEmpire | SAme |
| 00:39.10 | Technobliterator | They have long beak-like mouths, I guess |
| 00:39.33 | Halopediaman | How horrifying |
| 00:42.05 | OluapPlayer | Speaking of Loron biology |
| 00:42.13 | OluapPlayer | Their taxon puts them under reptiles |
| 00:42.21 | OluapPlayer | Is that canon in the actual fictionverse? |
| 00:44.49 | Technobliterator | I'm not sure, actuall |
| 00:44.50 | Technobliterator | y |
| 00:45.07 | Technobliterator | I always assumed they have very thick but flexible skin, so reptiles would fit them from that sense |
| 00:45.20 | Technobliterator | And they evolved in a jungle environment |
| 00:47.44 | Hachiman | DrodoEmpire: https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-0/p261x260/10400107_880739822038207_6059422227266628963_n.jpg?oh=c43f39a317c8f98e77ff743c60079675&oe=5763106F |
| 00:48.14 | DrodoEmpire | olol |
| 00:48.32 | Monet | Other common elements of reptiles include having ectothermic temperature regulation and laying eggs. |
| 00:48.51 | Hachiman | Which Norol do |
| 00:48.58 | Technobliterator | yeah |
| 00:49.11 | Technobliterator | I could expand on that on their page |
| 00:49.51 | Hachiman | It is funny because both the Grimbolsaurians and the Loron are insectlike reptiles |
| 00:50.51 | Technobliterator | they even share the same mouth |
| 00:50.55 | Technobliterator | and they're mortal enemies :P |
| 00:51.11 | Hachiman | They are also exact opposites in almost every regard |
| 00:51.36 | Technobliterator | yeah |
| 00:51.51 | Hachiman | The only thing they share between them other than their biology is their bloodlust |
| 00:51.54 | Technobliterator | Grimbolsaurian = totalitarian super geniuses |
| 00:52.05 | Technobliterator | Loron = uber libertarian anarchist idiots |
| 00:52.17 | Wormy_ | Grimbolsaurians are very strong too, though not as powerful as Loron. |
| 00:52.39 | Wormy_ | A Grimb could easily tear apart a baseline terran human |
| 00:52.49 | Technobliterator | Yeah, but the cybernetic enhancements the DCP probably give their troops might make them a bit more even in melee combat |
| 00:52.51 | Hachiman | Most species could do that to be fair |
| 00:53.04 | Hachiman | Needs Lunarai squaring off against Loron |
| 00:53.22 | Technobliterator | Hachiman, what are the Zazane currently doing? |
| 00:53.23 | Wormy_ | Yes, he has never experienced combat with them beforee |
| 00:53.39 | Technobliterator | I wonder if they could be involved in Da Reckoning |
| 00:53.39 | Monet | Poor poor humanity |
| 00:53.45 | DrodoEmpire | Now I really wonder how well Drodo would fare against Loron; Especially with the Drodo's fondness for the bayonet charge >.< |
| 00:53.55 | Hachiman | I have had plans for Da Reckoning regarding the Zazane |
| 00:53.56 | Technobliterator | since the Loron and Zazane haven't properly fought in a while |
| 00:53.59 | Technobliterator | Oh? |
| 00:54.01 | Halopediaman | Hachiman, DrodoEmpire, let me do you a solid: http://i.imgur.com/AM3M2vq.jpg |
| 00:54.13 | Technobliterator | Andromeda Front? :o |
| 00:54.21 | Hachiman | I cannot reveal their status but I will let you know that the Loron have a lot of opportunity to decimate them |
| 00:54.23 | Hachiman | Yeah |
| 00:54.23 | Halopediaman | It's larger and with a better URL. Unfortunately it doesn't know what at jpg is. |
| 00:54.25 | Monet | Loron - DEZE FUZZY GITS ARE SHANKIN US WIV DERE GUNZ! |
| 00:54.34 | DrodoEmpire | olol |
| 00:54.36 | Wormy_ | That's why I said Baseline Terran human, I'm pretty sure many Terrans are enhanced by now, and non-Terran humans are physically stronger and tougher |
| 00:54.42 | DrodoEmpire | Well, shankin their ankles sure XD |
| 00:54.46 | Technobliterator | this sounds fun |
| 00:55.04 | Hachiman | I have actually been discussing this with Imp |
| 00:55.12 | DrodoEmpire | They've got armour which has some augmentations, but they're also a bit shorter than a human on average |
| 00:55.14 | Wormy_ | Anyway, I was going to say, do you think there is any possibility of linking the origins of Grimbolsaurians and Loron? |
| 00:55.19 | Hachiman | I will need to move with the Zazane fic if I wanna take part so I have some motivation |
| 00:55.21 | OluapPlayer | You should be discussing it with Jo, not Imp hur |
| 00:55.23 | Monet | Wormy_: Then again modern humans are more attuned towards intelligence than brute strength. |
| 00:55.37 | Technobliterator | well, he's free to discuss it with Imp first |
| 00:55.42 | Wormy_ | Yes, and larger social groups |
| 00:55.57 | DrodoEmpire | Perhaps they could use their innate agility to their advantage; Scramble up a tree, leap onto a Loron's head with a sword and pistol and hand and do it some mischief. :p |
| 00:56.04 | Technobliterator | Wormy_, that's a great idea, but I'm not sure how it'd work |
| 00:56.25 | Wormy_ | Loron were artificial, weren't they? |
| 00:56.28 | Monet | I've always found it a fascinating phenomenon just how many fictionverse aliens are larger and stronger than baseline humans. |
| 00:56.37 | Wormy_ | So have I |
| 00:56.40 | Monet | Even the ones who disagree with augmentation. |
| 00:57.04 | OluapPlayer | Loron were created by the Vyro'Narza |
| 00:57.12 | OluapPlayer | So yes, they're artificial |
| 00:57.24 | Wormy_ | I'd rather the Grimbolsaurians have a natural evolution |
| 00:57.30 | Wormy_ | oh well |
| 00:58.04 | Technobliterator | I think it might be easier to just say the Grimbolsaurians evolved in similar conditions |
| 00:58.09 | OluapPlayer | They were created as a servant race for the Norol but eventually took them over |
| 00:58.26 | OluapPlayer | That kind of origin doesn't fit the Grimbos hur |
| 00:59.05 | Wormy_ | Indeed, though I can imagine Grimbos being insulted by the similar appearance of the Loron |
| 00:59.31 | Wormy_ | Not only are the Loron stronger and taller, but chaotic in the DCP's eyes |
| 00:59.49 | Technobliterator | I'm sure this is a mutual feeling, with how much the Loron hate the Grimbos |
| 01:00.47 | Wormy_ | Which reminds me, I guess I need to do the next section? |
| 01:00.56 | Wormy_ | In Da Reckoning |
| 01:01.34 | Technobliterator | Well, my plan was that I would handle that one, and show how the Loron use the what's-it-called drive to get past DCP defenses, and then you could handle the one after that |
| 01:02.05 | Technobliterator | Presumably, when Charles is on, we can bug him about France being involved somewhere |
| 01:02.23 | Halopediaman | Can someone tell me what DCP stands for? |
| 01:02.39 | Hachiman | Delpha Coalition of Planets |
| 01:02.55 | Halopediaman | thx |
| 01:04.13 | Technobliterator | or if you're a Loron, Dumbo Combinashon of Pizza |
| 01:04.35 | DrodoEmpire | ayy |
| 01:04.52 | Wormy_ | The heroic, or not so heroic "big guys" (depending on your place in the universe) in tech and size of the SporeWikiverse. |
| 01:05.16 | Technobliterator | I view the DCP as antiheroes, is that accurate? |
| 01:05.26 | Wormy_ | Though I'm going to concentrate on the heroic side from now on after GXS |
| 01:05.30 | Wormy_ | Pretty much, yeah |
| 01:06.12 | Wormy_ | Tbh, they are evil by my standards. And even stagnant. |
| 01:06.50 | Wormy_ | But my characters are not evil |
| 01:06.54 | Halopediaman | Ya'll just need to reboot the wiki so I can catch up on all this information. :P |
| 01:07.16 | DrodoEmpire | no >:D |

| 01:07.35 | Technobliterator | haha |
| 01:07.36 | Halopediaman | ;_; |
| 01:07.48 | Technobliterator | what we do need to do is make it easier for people to learn stuff, I feel |
| 01:08.01 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
| 01:08.14 | DrodoEmpire | Could the lore be better-organized? |
| 01:08.15 | Wormy_ | Here is I contrast the good characters in a bad empire theme http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Great_Xonexian_Schism/Inheritance |
| 01:08.17 | Monet | There's a lot of information in the fictionverse |
| 01:08.25 | DrodoEmpire | But even then yeah |
| 01:08.33 | DrodoEmpire | The sheer *amount* written would be hard to organize |
| 01:09.01 | Wormy_ | The lore definaly needs to be made more digestive |
| 01:09.04 | DrodoEmpire | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYDhmErgiuw - Also this |
| 01:09.19 | DrodoEmpire | Veery excited for this |
| 01:09.25 | DrodoEmpire | That and M&B Bannerlord |
| 01:10.16 | Halopediaman | I'd agree as I'm among the directly covered demographic of people who'd love that Wormy_, but then last night I finished typing up an unapologetic wall of text. |
| 01:10.54 | DrodoEmpire | Eh it could use some image maybe |
| 01:10.59 | DrodoEmpire | Though I suffer the same problem |
| 01:11.17 | DrodoEmpire | As I A. am not very good with Spore and B. am not confident enough in my drawing skills |
| 01:11.58 | Halopediaman | Images are not my strong area. |
| 01:12.10 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
| 01:12.25 | Halopediaman | Namely because I have never had to make images for this context and have no idea what I'm doing. |
| 01:12.26 | Technobliterator | I think it might be a nice idea to make portal pages or something |
| 01:12.48 | Halopediaman | Though I filed that under "will tackle later" as until yesterday I hadn't even posted anything of real substance. |
| 01:13.05 | OluapPlayer | The problem with portal pages is that they'd inevitably get outdated |
| 01:13.06 | DrodoEmpire | Tech: Yeah... That wouldn't be a bad idea |
| 01:13.14 | OluapPlayer | cus everyone here is extremely lazy except me |
| 01:13.23 | Halopediaman | :v |
| 01:13.52 | The_Randomness | same |
| 01:14.27 | Technobliterator | this is true |
| 01:14.45 | OluapPlayer | We had this talk before |
| 01:14.50 | OluapPlayer | and we came to that conclusion |
| 01:15.30 | Halopediaman | Everyone was too lazy to remember? |
| 01:16.26 | Technobliterator | hah |
| 01:16.27 | Technobliterator | yeah |
| 01:16.43 | DrodoEmpire | Its a vicious circle |
| 01:17.12 | DrodoEmpire | Or, I suppose, a slovenly circle. |
| 01:17.25 | DrodoEmpire | Heaven knows nobody around here has the motivation to be vicious |
| 01:19.12 | The_Randomness | mfw I randomly get a city in Civ 5 |

| 01:24.20 | Halopediaman | A socialist democrat or a democratic socialist? :P |
| 01:24.34 | DrodoEmpire | Tek: ayy lmao |
| 01:24.35 | Halopediaman | Also, litreally just talking about HoC in another channel, 2spooky |

| 01:26.36 | DrodoEmpire | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:X8-95 - Edited some stuff on this |
| 01:26.47 | DrodoEmpire | Put some numbers to the weapon's effectiveness |
| 01:31.50 | Wormy_Fallout3 | Right I think I've ascertained the cause of a burning smell and noise |
| 01:31.54 | Wormy_Fallout3 | in my computer |
| 01:32.03 | DrodoEmpire | Oh? |
| 01:32.20 | Halopediaman | Mouse? |
| 01:33.18 | Wormy_Fallout3 | When I play a game, the CPU and VGA cable heat up to about 42 degrees C. The computer's fan spins rapidly to cool it down, blowing dust out causing the smell. Last time it happened I panicked the pulled the plug, this time I let it do it's thing and the smell past. |
| 01:33.34 | DrodoEmpire | Ahh |
| 01:34.08 | Wormy_Fallout3 | I don't know why its doing it, my computer has high specs and this is an old game. I've cleaned it out of dust, hopefully nothing has worn down |
| 01:34.21 | Halopediaman | Ah, my computer goes into hyperdrive sometimes too, I feel you. |
| 01:35.04 | Monet | Wromy_Fallout3: A number of modern CPUs have software that shuts them down if the yreach a critical temperature point. |
| 01:35.06 | Wormy_Fallout3 | But I don't think it's as bad as I feared, i.e. power supply or motherboard issue |
| 01:35.20 | DrodoEmpire | Okay |
| 01:35.23 | DrodoEmpire | Well that's good at least |
| 01:35.25 | DrodoEmpire | :D |
| 01:35.31 | The_Randomness | whoa, I'm starting to get cities from this other civ because they keep revolting |
| 01:35.33 | The_Randomness | SeemsGood |
| 01:35.43 | DrodoEmpire | ayy |
| 01:35.48 | DrodoEmpire | Are you running a mod? |
| 01:36.05 | DrodoEmpire | I've never really had a city "revolt", if its in the way I'm thinking of |
| 01:36.10 | Wormy_Fallout3 | Monet: Yeah, given that nothing bad happened, lets hope it was just hyperdrive mode, as Halo said. It has never done this before though |
| 01:36.33 | Wormy_Fallout3 | I was rendering all day on Wednesday |
| 01:36.43 | Halopediaman | Does it work in 5 like 3 The_Randomness? Assuming you played 3 |
| 01:36.50 | The_Randomness | I didn't play 3 |
| 01:37.05 | Wormy_Fallout3 | The day it started happening |
| 01:37.23 | Halopediaman | Oh |
| 01:38.26 | Halopediaman | Well the way it worked in 3 was they just automatically defected to you if they touched a city with a higher culture if they were left in "civil disorder" for too long |
| 01:39.06 | Halopediaman | Though actually, I seem to remember having cities of mine defect without civil disorder, because the human player is always subject to unfair bias. :P |

| 14:38.16 | Xho | hi |
| 14:38.31 | drom | I like how humans are described as medicore and boring species and is always compared to other species to see if they are too powerful or not |
| 14:38.46 | Xho | But most species in the Gigaquadrant are much, much stronger than a human |
| 14:38.55 | drom | In reality, humans are the bane of universe's existence |
| 14:39.00 | Imperios | Like if you think about it |
| 14:39.07 | Imperios | Take Nomatari, Radeons and Artharons for example |
| 14:39.09 | Imperios | They're all furry |
| 14:39.10 | drom | looks at the French |
| 14:39.20 | Imperios | Thus by definition, they cannot sweat |

| 14:39.31 | Imperios | well, sweat as well as humans at least |
| 14:39.37 | Xho | I have finally reached the lowest level of human |
| 14:39.44 | Imperios | Xho: Could be worse |
| 14:39.47 | Imperios | Could be CWC |
| 14:40.03 | Xho | OluapPlayer: u |
| 14:40.04 | Imperios | Anyway so that would mean they would get tired faster when running |
| 14:40.06 | OluapPlayer | DON'T CALL ANYBODY |
| 14:40.13 | drom | Imperios: Fur does help insulating/isolating the body heat from the environment outside. |
| 14:40.20 | Imperios | Pretty much |
| 14:40.29 | drom | But does not help disposing excess heat |
| 14:40.32 | Imperios | So if you think about it Radeons would get overheated easily for example |
| 14:40.44 | Xho | fire rat |
| 14:40.44 | drom | Even if they had the endurance, they'd be cooking themselves alive already |
| 14:40.56 | Wormy_ | I thought Radeons were weaker, but faster than humans. |

| 14:41.37 | Imperios | Wormy_: Faster and more agile, but perhaps not as endurant |
| 14:42.09 | drom | After reading the first sentence of the leading paragraph, I came to think that the Nomatarians are breathing a extremely flammable gas. |

| 14:45.09 | Xho | With very little brain |
| 14:45.16 | Imperios | Never thought of them as dumb |
| 14:45.20 | Xho | It's a psychological abnormality for them to be intelligent |
| 14:45.30 | Wormy_ | It is for this reason the cold war era may mark the start of the Anthropocene |
| 14:45.38 | OluapPlayer | They were always described as unreasonable animals |
| 14:45.42 | Xho | Drom: Oh i get it |
| 14:46.03 | drom | Wormy_: And we can still survive for years and years despite repeated exposeure to it |
| 14:46.07 | Monet_3 | Imperios: If it moves, Zis try to kill it |
| 14:46.25 | Xho | Since the ZÃ-Jittorám go through multiple life phases I was thinking whether their bodies could deviate into other subspecies once they reach a certain age |
| 14:46.33 | OluapPlayer | How they even got to space is a plot hole on itself |
| 14:46.45 | Wormy_ | That thumb pic btw, is like my big toenail now. In the summer I bruised it and only now it's coming out |
| 14:47.11 | Imperios | Hmmm |
| 14:47.22 | Xho | I mentioned that are ancient monarch-like individuals in their race which are basically colossal sentient hives that spawn ZÃ-Jittorám |
| 14:47.23 | Imperios | Make giant spacefaring Zis that smaller Zis use as transport |
| 14:47.25 | Imperios | Like Zi whales |

| 14:48.28 | drom | Wormy_: I kind do envy you people. Because I cannot stop or quit biting and tearing off my nails. |

| 14:51.30 | Hachiman | So basically Imp, you are suggesting that the Zis become Kroot |
| 14:51.45 | drom | What is the purpose of strapping people to poles mounted on the front bumpers? |
| 14:51.46 | Xho | Also considering that the hive idea for ZÃ-Jittorám is probably an amalgamation of a lot of ZÃ-Jittorám, they probably refer to themselves in the third person |
| 14:52.06 | Imperios | Hachiman: Kroot do not evolve into giant spaceships |
| 14:52.22 | Imperios | They just build them |
| 14:52.24 | Imperios | I said Groot, not Kroot hur |
| 14:52.24 | Hachiman | But every form of life on Pech is, in some way, a Kroot |
| 14:52.27 | Wormy_ | I love this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GdhcgKycMk |
| 14:52.30 | Imperios | Not my idea, Xho's idea |

| 15:01.18 | drom | It is without doubt the most hazardous movie to film and produce |
| 15:01.29 | Monet_3 | HXTs are Tyranids. |
| 15:01.42 | Xho | Well this could be all kinds of messed up |
| 15:01.44 | Xho | But fun anyway |
| 15:02.17 | Xho | I don't know how a ZÃ-Jittorám Hive could actually be capable of flight or anything beyond that though |
| 15:02.36 | Xho | I'm thinking tentacles and bugs |
| 15:03.55 | Wormy_ | Maybe. I read about a film which has 20 or so lions in it, and quite a few actors and crew lost hands and fingers during the production. |
| 15:04.19 | Wormy_ | So anything with a lot of stunts, or a lot of animals. |
| 15:06.14 | Monet_3 | Xho: Perhaps the interstellar hives grow a launcher around themselves |
| 15:06.26 | Xho | launcher? |
| 15:07.11 | Monet_3 | Fungi grow these tall tower things that have buds packed with spores. Pressure builds up until boom, the pod bursts and the spores are launched into the air. |
| 15:07.38 | Xho | ew |
| 15:09.00 | drom | I can recall a fiction-adventure group called EAW |
| 15:09.02 | drom | remember? |
| 15:09.15 | Imperios | Xho: >ew >Zi-Jittoran |
| 15:09.21 | Imperios | Exactly |
| 15:09.28 | drom | double morale |
| 15:09.34 | Monet_3 | If these hives are as hyperintelligent as you say, they could probably be smart enough to work out the required maths to launch a spore pod into orbit. |
| 15:12.19 | drom | Anyway. They had a faction of a very invasie all-consuming hivemind of metamorphing organisms. They spread planet to planet through launching large biomasses into space. |
| 15:12.49 | drom | Unsurprisingly, they were also called "spores". |
| 15:14.01 | drom | invasive even |
| 15:16.12 | Ghelae | Monet_3: So a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_gun ? |
| 15:16.30 | drom | Wormy_away: The behind scenes were even more interesting by the fact they used pickups with matte all-black painting and stipped off lights and bumpers. |

| 17:23.53 | DrodoEmpire | Hi |
| 17:24.09 | OpelSpeedster | Hello. I suffered an energy failure. |
| 17:26.11 | OpelSpeedster | So, I decided to finally write my own contribution to Da Reckoning, and I'd like to make a Loron character to serve as the leader of the fleet that attacks my civilizations, and as the villain of my arc. Is that allowed, or I have to use one of the existing characters? |
| 17:26.13 | drom | Imperios: Synethic, yes. |
| 17:28.21 | drom | Xho Imperios Hachiman: http://i.imgur.com/HKhB4jB.webm |
| 17:28.29 | OluapPlayer | Technobliterator: ^ |
| 17:29.10 | Technobliterator | hahahahaha |
| 17:29.12 | Technobliterator | lmao |
| 17:29.24 | drom | Hachiman: http://i.imgur.com/4uoJcmH.jpg |
| 17:29.30 | Technobliterator | OdelSpeedster, it's fine by me |
| 17:29.55 | Technobliterator | Which galaxy are we talking about here? |
| 17:30.03 | OpelSpeedster | Both Andromeda and Milky Way. |
| 17:30.27 | OpelSpeedster | He starts out attacking the New Tadpole Empire to take control of the Milky Way-Andromeda wormhole they have, and effectively cut off the New Empire in two, making it weaker. |
| 17:30.54 | Technobliterator | Ah, yeah, feel free to make your own Loron character |
| 17:31.21 | Technobliterator | They can be a Warboss or a Big Warboss (just not a Speshul/Propa Big Warboss) |
| 17:31.36 | OpelSpeedster | I'm actually kind of thinking about making him be some sort of underling of one of the existing characters, if that's fine. |
| 17:31.38 | Technobliterator | Whether or not they survive the war is up to you |
| 17:31.46 | Technobliterator | Yeah, that works too |
| 17:31.51 | OpelSpeedster | So he's actually trying to prove himself useful and capable. |
| 17:32.00 | drom | http://i.imgur.com/mLXizlJ.jpg |
| 17:32.41 | Technobliterator | What kind of weaponry are you thinking of giving them? |
| 17:33.44 | OpelSpeedster | I haven't thought much about that. He'll be more like a fleet leader. He's a very capable strategist, but unskilled in combat, which makes him not very respected in Loron circles. |
| 17:33.49 | drom | Imperios Hachiman Xho: http://imgur.com/gallery/kuYSM |
| 17:34.00 | OpelSpeedster | Which is why he wants to conquer Exterioris so badly. |
| 17:34.31 | OpelSpeedster | Though if that is unrealistic, I can still make him be a capable fighter. |
| 17:34.32 | Technobliterator | Ah, there's a problem with that. Typically, a Loron who is unskilled in melee combat doesn't raise far up in the ranks enough. |
| 17:34.44 | OpelSpeedster | Oh. Yeah, makes sense. |
| 17:34.49 | Technobliterator | However, if you make him a Big Warboss under Kal'kuir, who's in the Milky Way front, you can work around that |
| 17:35.02 | Technobliterator | and have him use guns or cybernetic parts to make up for that |
| 17:35.19 | OpelSpeedster | Well, he *will* end up on the Milky Way, but unlike Kal'kuir, he'll use the New Empire's wormhole to get there. |
| 17:35.54 | OpelSpeedster | The arc starts out on Andromeda, and mostly takes place on the Milky Way's Soloth Sector, with the Andromeda New Empire trying to get the wormhole back. |
| 17:35.56 | Technobliterator | Also, having him not very respected in Loron circles does work, but he has to have enough respect to lead his own Loron, or else he'll realistically have just been killed and replaced before that |
| 17:36.25 | OpelSpeedster | Well, in this case I guess I'll make him be like a typical Warboss, but more cunning than other Loron. |
| 17:36.45 | OpelSpeedster | Not by much, though. |
| 17:36.55 | OpelSpeedster | A loron's intelligence is limited, after all |
| 17:37.36 | OpelSpeedster | Okay. I guess I'll have him be someone who just managed to become a Warboss, and wants to prove his strength and capability. |
| 17:38.01 | OpelSpeedster | One thing I haven't decided, though, is his name, I suck with names. |
| 17:38.03 | Technobliterator | Either way works out fine. If you want him to be a bit a-typical, and more cunning-like, he could idolize Kal'kuir |
| 17:38.05 | OpelSpeedster | ...could someone help? |
| 17:38.12 | Technobliterator | oh, Loron names are easy |
| 17:38.12 | OpelSpeedster | Ah, good idea. |
| 17:38.27 | Technobliterator | just type a bunch of random letters, put an apostrophe somewhere in the middle and fill it in with vowels |
| 17:38.35 | OpelSpeedster | kek |
| 17:38.36 | Technobliterator | literally slam your hand on the keyboard a few times |
| 17:38.50 | Technobliterator | like I'm not joking that's legit how to do it unless you're aiming for something clever |
| 17:38.51 | Technobliterator | :P |
| 17:39.05 | OpelSpeedster | Heh, I see |
| 17:39.28 | OpelSpeedster | Well, I got Ca'agster. It rhymes with my username, which makes me tempted to not use it in fear of him being mistaken for a Mary Sue. |
| 17:39.29 | Technobliterator | Again, whether or not he survives Da Reckoning is up to you, but you can use him for anything involving your factions |
| 17:39.55 | OpelSpeedster | Eh, I think his ambition will be his downfall and he'll be thrown into some radioactive dump pit in a battle on Agethime. |

| 19:25.15 | Xho | Also makes me wonder how many Hive Monarchs exist |
| 19:27.06 | Xho | Considering they're extremely old, not a lot |
| 19:27.34 | dino82_ | Neat |
| 19:27.36 | Xho | The Afiloxenos Hive Monarch which is more like a Hive Emperor is probably >1 billion years old |
| 19:27.54 | dino82_ | a new possible threat to the safety of the Gigaquadrant |
| 19:28.02 | Xho | I doubt it |
| 19:28.10 | Xho | The Hive Emperor can't leave a planet it resides in |
| 19:28.16 | Xho | Or any Hive Monarch |
| 19:28.28 | Xho | It becomes too big to be mobile |
| 19:29.18 | Xho | The Afiloxenos Hive Emperor is over a billion years old so it's probably continent sized |
| 19:30.19 | OluapPlayer | It would collapse under its own weight |
| 19:30.34 | Xho | So would Shu'suvreca but he doesn't |
| 19:30.47 | OluapPlayer | Shu'suvreca has space magic |
| 19:30.49 | OluapPlayer | So non |
| 19:30.54 | Xho | And that doesn't exist in real life either |
| 19:30.57 | Xho | so ur point is moot |
| 19:31.04 | Xho | its moooot |
| 19:31.09 | Imperios | It wouldn't if it was separated into several independent parts |
| 19:31.10 | OluapPlayer | I'm just saying |
| 19:31.15 | Xho | MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT |
| 19:31.25 | Xho | That's a possibility |
| 19:31.30 | Xho | It's not an upright being |
| 19:31.31 | Imperios | If there were several large hives connected by nerve things, or if the hive went deep underground |
| 19:31.37 | Imperios | It could be a thing |
| 19:31.46 | Xho | More like a colossal mass of substance that spawns ZÃ-Jittorám and has a conscience |
| 19:31.52 | Imperios | Actually about "collapsing under its own weight", it could be burrowing |
| 19:31.55 | Imperios | Xho: >conscience |
| 19:31.57 | Xho | It is burrowing |
| 19:31.58 | Imperios | >conscience |
| 19:32.02 | Imperios | >Zi-Jittoram |
| 19:32.05 | Imperios | >CONSCIENCE |
| 19:32.07 | OluapPlayer | >meme arrows |
| 19:32.25 | Imperios | I've used meme arrows before they were cool |
| 19:32.34 | Xho | Yeah it's an amalgamated consience of a ZÃ-Jittorám Hive and billions of years worth of ZÃ-Jittorám |
| 19:32.38 | OluapPlayer | dum hipster shoo |
| 19:32.40 | Xho | It's basically a hivemind |
| 19:32.46 | Monet | If its a colossal mass of plant matter, it could spread itself over a continent |
| 19:32.54 | Xho | That is what it is |
| 19:32.58 | Xho | Although slightly more flesh like |
| 19:33.07 | Xho | It's basically an amorphous blob of flesh and plant matter |
| 19:33.12 | OluapPlayer | It's a little more believable in that case |
| 19:33.13 | Xho | And it's fucking huge |
| 19:33.25 | Imperios | So like Eywa basically |
| 19:33.47 | Xho | eh sort of |
| 19:33.57 | dino82_ | my goodness, if one would visit that planet than the plaent would actually be part of the HIve Emperor? |
| 19:34.06 | Xho | More the other way around |
| 19:34.10 | Xho | The Hive Emperor is part of the planet |
| 19:34.12 | Monet | Never knew you to consider believability Oluap |
| 19:34.17 | Imperios | That makes me think |
| 19:34.25 | Imperios | How much independence would each Zi have in that regard |
| 19:34.33 | OluapPlayer | I don't know how to take that comment |
| 19:34.35 | Xho | Do you mean independent thought |
| 19:34.49 | Xho | OluapPlayer: I think he means mundane limitaton |
| 19:34.50 | Imperios | Independent thought and the ability to defy the Emprah |
| 19:35.03 | Xho | limitation even |
| 19:35.03 | Imperios | Like we had two Zi factions at one point |
| 19:35.16 | Xho | They were Xhodocto influenced though |
| 19:35.20 | Xho | Xhodocto > independent thought |
| 19:35.26 | Imperios | But the BCN was not |
| 19:35.40 | Imperios | So the Zis that served the BCN had at least some independence |
| 19:35.46 | Xho | Well they certainly have independent thought |
| 19:35.51 | OluapPlayer | I don't know if the Zi-Jittoram being part of the BCn can still be canon |
| 19:35.54 | OluapPlayer | I don't see it fitting |
| 19:35.54 | Imperios | Or maybe they were spawned out of the another hive |
| 19:36.00 | Xho | It's possibly to do with a neural connection with their hive |
| 19:36.03 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: That'd reqwuire some retconning |
| 19:36.12 | Xho | The further they are away from it the more independent they are |
| 19:36.25 | OluapPlayer | Back when Xho made them for the Wranploer Legion, they were just generic plant people |
| 19:36.44 | OluapPlayer | Now they're ambiguously demonic ambiguously sapient monstrosities |
| 19:36.48 | OluapPlayer | Don't fit an empire of pirates |
| 19:37.01 | Imperios | Xho OluapPlayer: Maybe Volim found and allied/subdued a small Hive Monarch? |
| 19:37.18 | Imperios | Giving him a few Zis as enforcers |
| 19:38.24 | OluapPlayer | If they're all animalistic monsters, there's no benefit to having them around |
| 19:38.39 | Imperios | Well there were the Levarcor |
| 19:38.43 | OluapPlayer | Even Xho says the intelligent ones are mentald efects |
| 19:38.45 | Imperios | Could be enforcers |
| 19:38.59 | OluapPlayer | Levarcor are all sapient and obedient |
| 19:40.44 | dino82_ | @Xho: Sounds like an interessting plant to visit :D |
| 19:42.13 | Imperios | That depends again on how reliable the Zis were |
| 19:42.24 | Imperios | Maybe they could be blackmailed by keeping a Hive Monarch captive |
| 19:42.28 | Imperios | Xho? |
| 19:43.16 | Xho | I was afk |
| 19:43.20 | Xho | Right where are we |
| 19:43.23 | OluapPlayer | They're unreasonable and vehemently hostile, you can't blackmail a rabid dog attacking you |
| 19:43.54 | Imperios | OluapPlayer wonders if Zis could be retconned to have never been part of the BCN |
| 19:43.59 | Imperios | Because |
| 19:44.01 | Imperios | Well |
| 19:44.06 | Xho | If you want, but I don't see why |
| 19:44.10 | Imperios | Not much use in keeping violent crazy people around |
| 19:44.17 | Xho | Capturing or force-aging a Hive Monarch could work |
| 19:44.23 | OluapPlayer | I'm now asking to do it |
| 19:44.33 | OluapPlayer | I'm asking how much sense there is |
| 19:44.38 | OluapPlayer | Because I don't see a lot of it |
| 19:44.46 | Xho | It's possible to keep them for the above reason |
| 19:44.47 | OluapPlayer | not* |
| 19:45.01 | Xho | If the BCN decided to capture a Hive Monarch, subdue it and then breed ZÃ-Jittorám from it |
| 19:45.07 | Imperios | Well, if subdued they could be useful as enforcers, as I said |
| 19:45.11 | dino82_ | bbl |
| 19:45.14 | Imperios | But that depends on how loyal the subdued ones are |
| 19:45.40 | OluapPlayer | That's one problem |
| 19:45.47 | Xho | If the BCN directly influenced their growth it wouldn't be a problem |
| 19:45.56 | OluapPlayer | The other is the fact they're for the most part mindless killing machines that can't be controlled |
| 19:45.57 | Xho | It's like feral children, if they're raised by animals they behave like animals |
| 19:46.03 | Monet | The Zi-Jittoram could be kept as attack animals. Keep the mcontained somewhere then unleash them during the first stage of a raid. |
| 19:46.22 | Xho | If the ZÃ-Jittorám are raised in a controlled environment then the BCN could control them |
| 19:46.31 | Imperios | Now I get reminded of the Chechen from the Dark Knight |
| 19:46.37 | OluapPlayer | Hm |
| 19:46.41 | OluapPlayer | I guess that could explain it |
| 19:46.42 | Xho | They'd be very very vicious dogs, but still controllable |
| 19:47.20 | Imperios | Volim - MY ZIS ARE HOONGRY! |
| 19:47.20 | OluapPlayer | Also where do the Sankaryn fit in all this |
| 19:47.25 | Xho | They're still a subspecies |
| 19:47.39 | Xho | Generally a lot smarter to compensate for the dumbass ZÃ-Jittorám |
| 19:48.47 | Xho | Or they could capture a Sankáryn Hive Monarch and then genetically meddle with it to produce their own ZÃ-Jittorám hybrids |
| 19:49.02 | OluapPlayer | This Wranploer-made Monarch might still be around then, if he didn't die during the Borealis War |
| 19:49.16 | Xho | Monarch - guys guys wtf |
| 19:49.18 | OluapPlayer | He could be under Billig's control now |
| 19:49.51 | Technobliterator | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Da_Reckoning/Quadrants#Chapter_03 :oo |
| 19:49.53 | Xho | A Sankáryn/ZÃ-Jittorám hybrid species would be a lot more feasbile |
| 19:50.01 | Xho | They'd be smarter and still physcially monstrous |
| 19:50.11 | Imperios | Rite |
| 19:50.19 | OluapPlayer | That's an idea |
| 19:50.38 | Xho | Sankáryn Hive Monarchs would be easier to capture and mobilise considering it would be smaller |
| 19:50.54 | Technobliterator | also, I'm going to update Rogue Boyz relations |
| 19:51.04 | OluapPlayer | y u ruin my work |
| 19:51.10 | Technobliterator | cuz ya moms dum |
| 19:51.15 | Technobliterator | you can update it instead if you prefer :o |
| 19:51.21 | OluapPlayer | Nah go ahead |
| 19:52.18 | Xho | That does come to the conundrum about Plant Dood |
| 19:52.42 | Xho | He could have been the test subject that the BCN used to hybridise the Hive Monarch's DNA with |
| 19:53.14 | Xho | And then all the ZÃ-Jittorám hybrids took him for their father or something |
| 19:53.27 | OluapPlayer | Isn't he like 30 or so years old |
| 19:54.13 | OluapPlayer | The Wranploer have been spacefaring for around 12,000 years I think |
| 19:54.50 | Xho | 300 |
| 19:54.57 | OluapPlayer | I was close |
| 19:55.00 | OluapPlayer | one less zero |
| 19:55.00 | Xho | Could retcon him to be older |
| 19:55.13 | OluapPlayer | Won't that turn him huge tho |
| 19:55.30 | Xho | True |
| 19:55.44 | Xho | He'd be bigger but not Adult Phase |
| 19:56.07 | Xho | Adult Phase is 20,000 or so |
| 19:56.28 | OluapPlayer | made |
| 19:56.29 | OluapPlayer | One option is say there were normal Zi-Zjis and Sankaryn around before and the hybridization only begun after Plant Dood was amde |
| 19:57.09 | Xho | That would be difficult to control though |
| 19:57.14 | OluapPlayer | Hm |
| 19:57.31 | OluapPlayer | Actually yeah let's just say the Wranploer only got Hives 300 years ago |
| 19:57.35 | OluapPlayer | Might be better that way |
| 20:00.07 | Xho | needs zÃ-jittorám penumbran nao |
| 20:00.15 | Xho | cus fuk u dats y |
| 20:01.44 | OluapPlayer | Well the PCA did get their eggs |
| 20:01.50 | OluapPlayer | They should be adults by the current year |
| 20:02.21 | Xho | Name: AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH X-103 |
| 20:02.52 | OluapPlayer | Kitanúniama - i nearly got eaten by trees for this |
| 20:03.04 | Xho | Xeron - lol u got rekt |
| 20:05.07 | OluapPlayer | But if the PCA can have a Loron police officer as a Penumbran, they can have a Zi-Jittoram if you want to make one |
| 20:05.44 | Xho | Nah I'm good |
| 20:05.52 | Xho | ZÃ-Jittorám Penumbran is a bit too mad |
| 20:06.19 | Xho | Unless Fed'koppa has a ZÃ-Jittorám associate |
| 20:06.37 | drom | Imperios Vincent20100 Xho: Ze archeology plot, how well is it progressing? |
| 20:06.38 | OluapPlayer | Bad cop and worse cop |
| 20:06.51 | Vincent20100 | First part published |
| 20:07.02 | OluapPlayer | updaet sankaryn |
| 20:09.07 | drom | Where? |

| 20:15.25 | OluapPlayer | demomann |
| 20:16.35 | Technobliterator | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Da_Rogue_Boyz/Da_Peepz I think I got everyone |

| 20:18.55 | drom | >not including andromedan powahs |
| 20:18.59 | drom | >LOSA |

| 20:23.05 | Imperios | >"SUPPRESS" AND IM LIKE "BUT MAN IM NOT EVEN A FEMINIST" |
| 20:23.09 | Imperios | I did not quite catch the joke here |
| 20:23.23 | OluapPlayer | oppressive males |
| 20:23.58 | Imperios | Ah |
| 20:26.39 | drom | Imperios: Funny because I've another unwritten trait for my flagship species: females are more dominant than males. |
| 20:26.47 | drom | Another thing taken from hyenas |
| 20:26.52 | Imperios | Wait |
| 20:26.58 | Imperios | If they're hyenas and female-dominant |
| 20:27.02 | Imperios | Does that mean their women have |
| 20:27.06 | Imperios | F-f-f-f-f-ffffffffff- |
| 20:27.26 | drom | Yes |
| 20:27.48 | drom | "must recuse oppressed male minority" |
| 20:28.25 | Hachiman | Oh God |
| 20:28.36 | Hachiman | Please tell me they do not have pseudo-penises |
| 20:28.44 | OluapPlayer | He just said they do |
| 20:28.49 | OluapPlayer | pay attention yo |
| 20:29.11 | drom | It was something I've noted about long time ago |
| 20:29.57 | drom | Species of animals that do have natural patriachy are actually interesting to read about. Personally saying |
| 20:32.23 | drom | Imperios Hachiman: Are you all were there when I first said that unwritten trait. |
| 20:32.29 | drom | And you all were* |
| 20:32.56 | Hachiman | Jesus |
| 20:33.11 | Hachiman | I mean granted, Kalcedia can make one herself but still |
| 20:33.15 | Hachiman | Freaky shit nonetheless |
| 20:33.41 | OluapPlayer | Kalcedia doesn't count since her true form is am amorphous mass of purple goo |
| 20:33.59 | Xho | Her true form |
| 20:34.02 | Xho | is tumblr |
| 20:34.17 | OluapPlayer | [triggered] |
| 20:34.45 | drom | top kek |
| 20:35.29 | drom | Hachiman: It is funny because you and Imperios always engage in discussions about sex and sensitive stuff. |
| 20:35.29 | Hachiman | fug |
| 20:35.52 | OluapPlayer | It's a requirement for Hachi to be present |
| 20:37.50 | drom | Aye. Sex would be very boring without Hachiman providing instructions like a professional. |
| 20:42.38 | Imperios | Xho: Mass of sexual fat |
| 20:42.40 | Imperios | Kind of works |
| 20:42.51 | Xho | U WOT M8 |
| 20:43.00 | OluapPlayer | nasti |
| 20:43.53 | Imperios | I am saying that Kalcedia is indeed similar to Tumblr in that both are, underneath their disguises, masses of fat hungering for sexual release |
| 20:44.03 | Xho | Oh I thought you were talking about me |
| 20:44.11 | Xho | You could not have been more wrong |
| 20:44.51 | OluapPlayer | or could u |
| 20:44.54 | OluapPlayer | dun dun dun |
| 20:45.39 | Xho | That got me thinking |
| 20:50.02 | OluapPlayer | about wat |
| 20:55.27 | Xho | About being a mass of sexual fat |
| 20:57.52 | Wormy_ | This place never grew out of teenagehood. |
| 20:57.55 | Hachiman | What the fuck |
| 20:58.32 | OluapPlayer | That's why it's fun |
| 20:59.15 | Imperios | Wormy_: Many of us are still teenagers |
| 20:59.21 | Imperios | Like I am pretty sure me and Hachi are |
| 20:59.42 | Wormy_ | yeah, but getting into older teenage stage |
| 21:00.33 | OluapPlayer | fukin kids |
| 21:00.47 | Wormy_ | University age |
| 21:00.55 | Wormy_ | Actually, I'm still 18 in my head |
| 21:01.05 | Hachiman | I'm almost 20 |
| 21:01.08 | Wormy_ | And I am going out in a bit to get smashed |
| 21:01.22 | Hachiman | Like, I would barely consider myself a teenager |
| 21:02.09 | OluapPlayer | i hope u get ur head smashed |
| 21:07.17 | Wormy_ | To be honest, I've seen students in their 20's act extremely immature |
| 21:07.25 | Imperios | 19 |
| 21:07.27 | Hachiman | I act immature hur |
| 21:07.28 | Imperios | NineTEEEN |
| 21:07.30 | Imperios | TEEEEEEN |
| 21:07.33 | Wormy_ | Especially that countryside college |
| 21:07.34 | Hachiman | fuk off koreaboo |
| 21:07.51 | Imperios | I cannot be a koreaboo by definition |
| 21:08.07 | Wormy_ | You'll soon be in your 20s |
| 21:08.12 | Hachiman | You are not a citizen of Korea who has an obsession with the Korea |
| 21:08.15 | Hachiman | Thus Koreaboo |
| 21:08.21 | Hachiman | You just happen to be a Korean Koreaboo |
| 21:08.24 | Wormy_ | Life goes into hyperdrive mode by this point |
| 21:08.54 | Wormy_ | I'm going grey |
| 21:09.33 | Wormy_ | 21 and going grey |
| 21:09.35 | Wormy_ | so unfair |
| 21:09.36 | Imperios | Hachiman: Says who hur |
| 21:09.44 | Wormy_ | Going to drink to my woes |
| 21:11.10 | OluapPlayer | Doesn't matter what kind of weeaboo you both are |
| 21:11.10 | Hachiman | You do not even know kung fu or drink vodka on a regular basis; how can you call yourself either a respectable East Asian or Russian |
| 21:11.14 | OluapPlayer | You're both lazy |
| 21:11.43 | Imperios | IF you judge me by my drink and martial art of choice |
| 21:11.44 | Imperios | ... |
| 21:11.47 | Imperios | I am a Brit? |

| 21:14.49 | Hachiman | It is |
| 21:14.57 | Hachiman | Boxing is a popular sport in the UK |
| 21:15.04 | Imperios | See, as I said, I drink a lot of tea and can box |
| 21:15.16 | Hachiman | You do not have bad teeth though |
| 21:15.37 | Wormy_ | You do like potatoes |
| 21:15.47 | Wormy_ | Most British foods have potatoes |
| 21:16.14 | Imperios | Hachiman: I sort of do |

| 22:09.44 | Ghel | Well, you're a parasitic worm. There needs to be an endoskeleton supporting your host's body or you wouldn't be able to make much use of it. |
| 22:10.20 | Wormydroid | Yes, swimming around a deflated body is not very pleasant |
| 22:11.06 | Wormydroid | I don't actually like living in hosts, they are very smelly |
| 22:12.51 | Ghel | That's probably a sign that you're at the point in your life cycle when you need to be free-swimming, or maybe your chemoreceptors are trying to tell you that you're not living inside your natural host species. |
| 22:14.04 | Wormydroid | Yes, it is time for me to leave |
| 22:15.33 | Wormydroid | Clean watet |
| 22:15.33 | Wormydroid | Easy swimming |
| 22:20.13 | Wormydroid | Free of the flesh |
