| 00:22.35 | DrodoEmpire | Back! |
| 00:22.42 | DrodoEmpire | Had to fix some stuff with my computer |
| 00:23.02 | dino82_ | @Drodo: seen this before?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN_CP4SuoTU |
| 00:23.34 | DrodoEmpire | Nope |
| 00:25.33 | DrodoEmpire | I do like the style, though |
| 00:25.35 | Monet | I remember a really old TIE fighter game |
| 00:25.36 | dino82_ | it looks awesome |
| 00:25.37 | dino82_ | :D |
| 00:28.18 | Monet | I like the way it humanises the TIE pilots |
| 00:29.02 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 00:29.40 | dino82_ | idd, me too! I love that is shows the Imperials are "humans" as well |
| 00:31.58 | Monet | Its alwys interested me how popular the Empire is as a ninstitution. |
| 00:32.05 | Monet | among the fanbase anyway. |
| 00:33.02 | DrodoEmpire | People love the bad guy. :p |
| 00:33.38 | Monet | True, and life in the Empire is decent so long as you're human. |
| 00:34.28 | dino82_ | haha true :D |
| 00:35.25 | Monet | Although when you look deeper, the Imperials do have grounds for being considered terrorists. |
| 00:36.51 | Monet | for the Rebels being ocnsidered terrorists* |
| 00:38.45 | Monet | I haven't watched much of Rebels but blowing up the death star, twice, is going ot shake a bit of confidence in the government. |
| 00:39.21 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 00:40.15 | Monet | And there's the catch-22 regarding the oppressive nature of dictatorships: That they're opressive ot stamp out rebellion. |
| 00:41.44 | Monet | The Rebellion's behaviuour could have been one of the driving aspects of the Empire's incresingly-choking grip o nthe galaxy. |
| 00:43.14 | DrodoEmpire | Well, that *is* one of terrorism's goals- To make the government they oppose so repressive to its subjects they turn to your side despite the attacks you carry out |
| 00:43.28 | DrodoEmpire | And thus garner sympathy and gain hard support |
| 00:45.16 | Monet | I guess the other curiosity is the whole goal. |
| 00:46.20 | Monet | The "Alliance to restore the Republic"... Said Republic was so bloated and corrupt that had the majority of its representatives cheered at its conversion into an empire. |
| 00:46.58 | DrodoEmpire | Monet: Ehh nobody said they'd restore the system wholesale |
| 00:47.04 | Monet | So, if anything, what the Rebellion is fighting for is nostalgia, or 'we can do better than last time' |
| 00:47.37 | DrodoEmpire | Plus a brand-new nation like that would either be A. Reinvigourated and highly-efficient or B. completely paralyzed and unable to do anything |
| 00:47.44 | DrodoEmpire | Not bloated, just paralyzed. |
| 00:47.48 | DrodoEmpire | :p |
| 00:48.48 | Monet | That and the gap between episode III and IV is 19 years - just long enough to be admitting soldiers who were born after the Empire's foundation. |
| 00:50.16 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 00:50.24 | DrodoEmpire | Depending on the recruiting age yeah |
| 00:50.36 | DrodoEmpire | (I'd guess its between 16-18 anyway) |
| 00:50.56 | Monet | And the Republic was on the decline anyway by 32BBY |
| 00:51.41 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 00:53.07 | DrodoEmpire | http://orig13.deviantart.net/881a/f/2016/029/8/a/top_10_x_files_episodes_by_bonzi_m8-d9pqohl.png |
| 00:53.54 | Monet | So its possible that - barring rebel aliens hundreds of years old - the vast majority of the rebellion is made up of people who only know of a good Republic as a story |
| 00:54.13 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah possibly |
| 00:56.02 | Monet | Actually I think XCOM 2 explores this |
| 00:56.30 | DrodoEmpire | http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/001/068/549/01b.png |
| 00:56.42 | Monet | As in the game, the player leads a resistance movement against an alien governemnt that conquered the Earth 20 years before the start of the game |
| 00:57.23 | DrodoEmpire | Ah, right |
| 00:58.07 | DrodoEmpire | Sorta the same deal with Half-Life 2 |
| 00:58.21 | Monet | What they did after conquering the world was build cities like this: https://downloads.2kgames.com/xcom2/blog_images/advent_propaganda_center.jpg http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/XCOM-2-4.jpg |
| 00:58.37 | DrodoEmpire | Almost the same scenario- The Combine took over Earth twenty years ago in *literally seven hours*. |
| 00:59.07 | DrodoEmpire | (and killed half of the human population in those seven hours) |
| 00:59.26 | Monet | And life under Alien rule was...actually pretty utopian. |
| 00:59.39 | DrodoEmpire | http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/half-life/images/b/bb/HalfLife2_City17_TrainStationSquare.jpg/revision/20090110233146?path-prefix=en - The Combine repurposed and occupied shitholes like this |
| 00:59.59 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah the XCOM alien approach was the exact opposite, so its interesting |
| 01:00.20 | Monet | Things like malaria, cancer and Parkinsons were cured with Alien genetic science, people were living healthier |
| 01:00.46 | DrodoEmpire | The Combine put in place an orwellian police-state and didn't even so much as repair infrastructure- Yet being an empire *literally spanning universes*, it would've literally been no expense for them to make Earth into a utopia |
| 01:01.27 | Monet | In the Combine's case it may be an example of how little they care. |
| 01:01.53 | DrodoEmpire | The only explanation really is that the Union sees Earth as the British Empire saw a single city block in Mumbai during the 1880s- The federal government doesn't even know that that city block exists, the provincial government probably doesn't either, and the municipal government probably does but is busy elsewhere |
| 01:02.04 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
| 01:02.25 | Monet | By the sounds of the scale, yeah |
| 01:02.34 | Monet | Earth is a side-street pothole. |
| 01:02.38 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 01:02.55 | DrodoEmpire | And even then, the sheer amount of resources available to the Combine are immense |
| 01:03.05 | DrodoEmpire | Despite Earth being literally of zero consequence |
| 01:03.17 | Monet | Though granted we also see places like this by the XCOM alie nadminsitration http://media-curse.cursecdn.com/attachments/172/351/slm_lg_rowhomes.jpg |
| 01:03.19 | DrodoEmpire | The scale of the Combine is unknown but it *has to* be immense |
| 01:03.30 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
| 01:03.38 | DrodoEmpire | Ghettoes and slums always exist though |
| 01:03.48 | DrodoEmpire | They have it good compared to humans living under the combine XD |
| 01:03.51 | Monet | There are even places that were just left ot rot after the war https://downloads.2kgames.com/xcom2/blog_images/wld_tundra_station.jpg |
| 01:04.01 | Monet | And some cities were abandoned halfway though ocnstruction |
| 01:04.41 | DrodoEmpire | Actually its interesting just how badly the Combine cities are in disrepair- HL2RP expands a lot on the lore (I consider it semi-canon at this point) and even looking at the maps... |
| 01:04.46 | DrodoEmpire | The squalor is immense and omnipresent |
| 01:05.22 | DrodoEmpire | To the point where even official propaganda is forced to refer to the cities as "our *remaining* urban centres" (emphasis added) |
| 01:05.44 | Monet | Actually i recall one feature that suggests COmbine treatment of Earth is more than simple neglect. |
| 01:05.49 | DrodoEmpire | Oh? |
| 01:05.59 | Monet | The sea levels are unnaturally low. |
| 01:06.13 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah they ruthlessly exploited Earth's resources |
| 01:06.38 | DrodoEmpire | But even still- That's just the 1880s British taxman coming through the city block |
| 01:06.42 | Monet | They're not ignoring the state of eath; they're sucking it dry of every last possible resource. |
| 01:06.54 | DrodoEmpire | Again a testament to the scale of the Combine |
| 01:07.00 | DrodoEmpire | Right, basically sacking it |
| 01:07.27 | Monet | Sacking it, probably salting the earth too. |
| 01:07.36 | Monet | As there was that whole 'anti-procreation field' thingy. |
| 01:07.42 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 01:07.46 | DrodoEmpire | Suppression field |
| 01:07.56 | DrodoEmpire | (Which was deactivated near the beginning of Episode 2) |
| 01:08.40 | Monet | ALso these ALien city centres? http://mousenjoypad.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/x5.jpg you have these everywhere |
| 01:08.52 | Monet | Military checkpoints, biometric scanners etc. |
| 01:09.27 | Monet | Though its implied they're mainly to root out the XCOM resistance. |
| 01:09.38 | DrodoEmpire | Makes sense |
| 01:10.56 | Monet | And they're at the level they are because XCOM is extremely suspicious of these gene therapy clinics. WHich they like to ermm... |
| 01:10.56 | Monet | Blow up. |
| 01:11.31 | DrodoEmpire | :p |
| 01:13.07 | Monet | I won't spoil but the Resistance believes there is something ulterior going on with the hospitals, given how in the original XCOM the aliens would kidnap inner-city populations. |
| 01:13.18 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
| 01:13.22 | DrodoEmpire | I know a bit about that yeah |
| 01:14.33 | Monet | Thousands faced abduction. Whatever the aliens wanted humanity for, occupying the planet likely allowed them to do it less invasively |
| 01:14.38 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 01:14.42 | DrodoEmpire | Makes sense |
| 01:14.50 | Monet | And that's the other thing that questions this utopia |
| 01:14.56 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
| 01:14.59 | Tek0516 | By the late game you practically have war machines guarding their major cities. |
| 01:15.26 | Monet | We lear nearly on in XCOM 2 that people going missing is a very regular thing under the alien government |
| 01:15.35 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
| 01:16.30 | Monet | SOmetimes its overt, like busting a resistance cell, but mostly these peopel vanish in the msyerious sense |
| 01:16.48 | DrodoEmpire | Apparently Bernie's won the vast majority of NY counties |
| 01:16.56 | DrodoEmpire | So... Cool, I guess |
| 01:17.00 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
| 01:17.23 | Tek0516 | DrodoEmpire: Except for NYC itself so he lost the state. :/ |
| 01:17.32 | DrodoEmpire | Ah yes that's right |
| 01:17.47 | DrodoEmpire | The Combine, both canon and HL2RP are pretty overt with their operations |
| 01:18.02 | DrodoEmpire | Mostly to further scare the citizenry into cooperation |
| 01:20.02 | Tek0516 | Monet: Oh, and of course there are the resistance camp raids which to the public are a campaign to destroy terrorist bases |
| 01:20.26 | DrodoEmpire | They aren't fans of making people "disappear"- Moreover they pretty publicly drag people into the Nexus. Lo |
| 01:20.27 | DrodoEmpire | *:p |
| 01:20.38 | DrodoEmpire | (Nexus being a local Civil Protection Headquarters) |
| 01:21.30 | Monet | Tek0516: Oh yeah the resistance camps. |
| 01:22.05 | Monet | The ALien propaganda machine is *very* effective. |
| 01:22.09 | DrodoEmpire | http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/066/852/fd3.png |
| 01:22.21 | DrodoEmpire | Monet: do the aliens have anything subtle like Breen water? |
| 01:23.02 | DrodoEmpire | (That is, free canned water dispensed from vending machines, allegedly infused with a mild memory-loss agent) |
| 01:23.30 | Monet | DrodoEmpire: "ADVENT burgers" are apparently realyl delicious. |
| 01:23.37 | DrodoEmpire | Huh |
| 01:24.00 | Monet | Where the meat ocmes form is another question as Lucy Shen, who was born int othe resistance, has never seen a cow. |
| 01:24.58 | DrodoEmpire | Oh. |
| 01:25.06 | DrodoEmpire | Well, ehh |
| 01:25.12 | DrodoEmpire | I guess it *could've* been artificially grown |
| 01:25.40 | Monet | Well the aliens skill with genetics is centuries ahead of hours |
| 01:25.49 | Monet | ours* |
| 01:26.58 | Monet | From what I can tell, Earth populations under the administration are a lot more localised |
| 01:27.23 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
| 01:27.49 | Monet | Smal ltowns tend to be dilapidated or partially overgrown, everyone lives in cities, and there are plenty of sites that have been reclaimed by nature |
| 01:28.20 | DrodoEmpire | Sounds a lot like Combine-controlled Earth really |
| 01:28.51 | Monet | True |
| 01:28.53 | DrodoEmpire | Humans live in cities, surrounded by walls that slowly, over the course of years, move inwards and destroy the city outskirts |
| 01:29.09 | DrodoEmpire | Outlands are near-impossible to live out in but the resistance do so anyway |
| 01:29.51 | Monet | The major difference is the XCOM aliens show care for peoples' welfare inside these cities |
| 01:30.00 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 01:31.31 | Monet | Said aliens also built a really extensive railroad network |
| 01:32.26 | DrodoEmpire | Oh? |
| 01:32.52 | DrodoEmpire | (I think railroads are one of the few pieces of native infrastructure the Combine cared to maintain- even at some minimal level) |
| 01:33.01 | DrodoEmpire | They rely on rail a lot as well |
| 01:33.06 | Monet | All the major cities are connected. |
| 01:33.42 | Monet | Rail is a great way to ferry goods fro mone place to another. |
| 01:33.54 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 01:39.52 | Tek0516 | Monet: Especially given the train's main cargo. >.> |
| 01:40.26 | DrodoEmpire | God there's so much to be hyped about this year |
| 01:40.54 | DrodoEmpire | NMS is gonna be here in *just* over two months, Stellaris is gonna release around then as well, I think a little sooner |
| 01:41.14 | Tek0516 | HoI4 in June as well |
| 01:41.21 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 01:42.26 | DrodoEmpire | Madeon's confirmed he's gonna have new tracks this year, which is cool for me at least |
| 01:43.00 | DrodoEmpire | (*Really* hoping he changes his mind and releases a cleaned-up, non-live version of "Together" <.<) |
| 01:43.29 | DrodoEmpire | *Well, "remastered" anyway. |
| 01:52.48 | Tek0516 | Minor spoilers (early game, minimal plot) but I'd say this one cutscene probably summarizes XCOM 2's aliens and their propaganda well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzkWa1-1AXo&feature=youtu.be&t=22m46s |
| 01:54.38 | DrodoEmpire | Think I saw that cutscene yeah |
| 01:54.54 | DrodoEmpire | I found it... A bit ham-fisted but good all around I guess |
| 01:55.16 | DrodoEmpire | This may sound odd but I feel the Combine were... I dunno, the way they were presented was a bit more subtle |
| 01:55.34 | DrodoEmpire | Its clear a lot was still unknown to you and much was left for the player to fill in the blanks |
| 01:55.43 | Monet | Attacks like these had a dual purpose. |
| 01:55.49 | DrodoEmpire | ight |
| 01:55.51 | DrodoEmpire | *Right |
| 01:56.06 | DrodoEmpire | Though I'm just speaking from a literary point of view here |
| 01:56.13 | Monet | The first was to tackle hill peopel types. The second, is to lure out XCOM. |
| 01:56.26 | DrodoEmpire | Again I understand that they're strategically sound |
| 01:56.37 | DrodoEmpire | But I'm speaking from a literary point of view is all |
| 01:56.45 | Monet | Understood. |
| 01:56.52 | DrodoEmpire | Sorry :L |
| 01:56.58 | dino82_ | bye bye all |
| 01:57.01 | DrodoEmpire | Bye! |
| 01:58.28 | DrodoEmpire | But yeah I just feel the whole "overlaying an inspiring speech with images of the contrary happening" was *really* smacking you upside the head with the message. >.< I would've preferred some more subtlety to be honest |
| 01:58.46 | DrodoEmpire | But then again different ways of telling the story |
| 01:59.02 | DrodoEmpire | HL2 was unique in that it *had* no cutscenes and was pretty much entirely showing, as opposed to telling, you what was going on |
| 01:59.37 | DrodoEmpire | Even the conversations you had or heard with player characters- It was like if you walked in on a business meeting late and only caught half of what was going on without much context |
| 01:59.44 | DrodoEmpire | So you had to think for yourself |
| 01:59.49 | DrodoEmpire | Doesn't work with all games though |
| 02:14.47 | DrodoEmpire | test |
| 02:14.50 | The_Randomness | yes |
| 02:15.41 | The_Randomness | I must say I like how the collab is progressing |
| 02:15.55 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 02:16.02 | DrodoEmpire | A ton done in some two days |
| 02:16.08 | The_Randomness | Indeed |
| 02:28.21 | The_Randomness | We even got a decent bit done for the sentient species today |
| 02:28.53 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
| 02:31.18 | The_Randomness | I also got a decent idea for why the society I'm planning on creating eventually doesn't pursue space travel |
| 02:32.11 | The_Randomness | Well, more like the beginning of an idea |
| 02:32.25 | DrodoEmpire | Oh, okay |
| 02:34.13 | The_Randomness | Basically, they deemed it too risky to do STL travel, and FTL is infeasible |
| 02:34.32 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
| 02:36.11 | The_Randomness | They may also be more risk averse than us |
| 02:36.52 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah possibly- That'd probably mean they're more conservative in general |
| 02:37.43 | The_Randomness | I'll have to establish exactly why that is, but it's an idea |
| 02:37.57 | DrodoEmpire | Nah sounds pretty cool |

| 13:44.32 | Wormy_ | Hi |
| 13:45.00 | Groxkiller98 | :D |
| 13:45.02 | Groxkiller98 | Hey. |
| 13:45.49 | Groxkiller98 | Just thought I'd let people know I updated the super colab project page. |
| 13:47.57 | Wormy_ | has a read |
| 13:48.39 | Groxkiller98 | It's a valid point I think. We're talking about our new project in a lot of detail, but we haven't even got a species to focus on! |
| 13:49.50 | Wormy_ | I think we are going for a pitch/contest type thing where the community votes on a creature. But the features of the creature will be discussed prior to that. We started here https://titanpad.com/hK8iu1YqBn |
| 13:50.17 | Groxkiller98 | Thanks. Could have mentioned it on the project page though. |
| 13:50.29 | Groxkiller98 | Maybe at the top of the page somewhere really obvious. |
| 13:50.36 | Wormy_ | Titanpad was linked last night :P |
| 13:50.45 | Groxkiller98 | I didn't see it. |
| 13:50.55 | Groxkiller98 | Also, I can't get on it from here. >_> |
| 13:51.01 | Groxkiller98 | Damn college wifi... |
| 13:51.30 | Wormy_ | The idea could change, but so far there's been discussion of a reptillian-insectoid type creature because they seem common on SporeWiki |
| 13:51.42 | Wormy_ | Titanpad appears down unfortunately |
| 13:51.51 | Groxkiller98 | Something we see commonly seems a bit boring. >_> |
| 13:52.06 | Groxkiller98 | We don't have many avians, though. |
| 13:52.20 | Groxkiller98 | Perhaps an avian race could work? |
| 13:53.05 | Wormy_ | That's another possibility |
| 13:53.26 | Groxkiller98 | *Is swarming with ideas.* |
| 13:53.51 | Groxkiller98 | If all else fails, could maybe use a senate government and have many races? |
| 13:54.08 | Wormy_ | Actually there was a second proposal for cosmic dust and plasma based life that inhabited stars. But a lengthy study into the temperature ranges of stellar surfaces outruled the possibility for most stars and elements |
| 13:54.25 | Groxkiller98 | Hm... |
| 13:54.43 | Groxkiller98 | I still kinda want to have an unconventional galaxy type... |
| 13:54.52 | Groxkiller98 | Too many spirals. |
| 13:55.15 | Wormy_ | We still could I think (I'd lean on a super spiral), but I guess those details are for later. |
| 13:55.46 | Wormy_ | At the moment we are fleshing out the planet and developmental history of the first species (that forms the Federation) |
| 13:56.01 | Groxkiller98 | Fair enough. |
| 13:56.17 | Wormy_ | Titanpad is up for me now |
| 13:56.48 | Groxkiller98 | I'm on. |
| 13:56.57 | Groxkiller98 | Though I need to get back to my class work. >_< |
| 13:59.01 | Wormy_ | Fair enough, Titanpad is linked on the Super Collab page so you could access it any time. |
| 14:00.34 | Groxkiller98 | Alright. I'll get back to my class work and be on when I get home. |
| 14:00.48 | Wormy_ | Okay, bye |

| 17:23.43 | DanzaDelMondo | I am not sure if he should be a generic evil cyborg with a fucked up Obliterator Null State |
| 17:24.02 | DanzaDelMondo | Or a fucked up Chaos Obliterator with a more fucked up Chaos Obliterator Null State |
| 17:24.42 | OluapPlayer | Well Chosen Champions were all deranged to some extent, even when not in their Null forms |
| 17:25.03 | DanzaDelMondo | I am talking more about appearance |
| 17:25.20 | OluapPlayer | Ah |
| 17:26.12 | OluapPlayer | Is he still around in the current year? |
| 17:27.35 | DanzaDelMondo | Probably not |
| 17:28.49 | DanzaDelMondo | I'd retcon him to have died during Boreale War but too much effort |
| 17:29.03 | OluapPlayer | Well he has never done anything after the war |
| 17:29.09 | OluapPlayer | So there wouldn't be any effort at all |

| 19:51.29 | Xho | OluapPlayer Hachiman DanzaDelMondo: What would you think the feasibility is of Soldalatel being a lesser Simulacra |
| 19:51.43 | DanzaDelMondo | It'd be a little bit redudant |
| 19:51.44 | OluapPlayer | Define lesser Simulacra |
| 19:52.12 | Xho | A deity that is related to but not with the characteristics of a Simulacrum |
| 19:52.26 | Hachiman | Which Simulacrum |
| 19:52.28 | OluapPlayer | That's just a deity |
| 19:52.31 | Xho | Nalashtannylor dur |
| 19:52.45 | Xho | fair enough |
| 19:52.48 | Hachiman | So like how Sepulchrus is related to Mortium |
| 19:52.57 | OluapPlayer | Sepulchrus is not divine |
| 19:53.14 | Xho | Soldalatel and Aethereus/Nalashtannylor are two sides of the same coin |
| 19:53.24 | OluapPlayer | He's just the biggest Revenant |
| 19:53.25 | Xho | I'm just trying to define Soldalatel in a way where she's not a Simulacrum |
| 19:54.32 | Xho | It's in the same way that Caligaduro and Isiris are two completely opposite governing forces but Soldalatel and Aethereus/Nalashtannylor are much smaller in scope |
| 19:54.56 | Xho | I suppose she's whatever the opposite of a Simulacrum is |
| 19:54.59 | Xho | Just a deity I guess |
| 19:55.24 | OluapPlayer | A deity coming from a Simulacrum realm but not the one who has ultimate control of it |
| 19:55.56 | Xho | Well Midnight and Zenith are two parts of the same realm but Nalashtannylor has no real power over Zenith |
| 19:56.05 | Xho | Otherwise Zenith would be all nocturnal as well |
| 19:56.22 | Xho | Zenith = Sun Midnight = Moon |
| 19:56.31 | Xho | Or sun/storm whatever floats your goat |
| 19:57.27 | OluapPlayer | Well I have one suggestion but it might require too much retconning |
| 19:57.28 | Xho | I don't think there's any term for an anti-simulacrum since they don't exist so I'll just leave it as a deity |
| 19:57.32 | Xho | go on |
| 19:57.45 | DanzaDelMondo | Hm hm> |
| 19:57.47 | DanzaDelMondo | ? |
| 19:58.02 | OluapPlayer | Nalash is a combo of Soldalatel and Aethereus's powers rather than just the latter's |
| 19:58.11 | *** join/#sporewiki DrodoEmpire (adfc264b@gateway/web/freenode/ip.173.252.38.75) |
| 19:58.12 | Xho | Hm |
| 19:58.50 | Xho | It would work but I'd like to keep the two distinctly separate |
| 19:59.25 | Xho | The only real explanation is that Nalashtannylor is treated as a Simulacrum and Soldalatel just isn't |
| 19:59.36 | Xho | Mainly because Nalashtannylor's energies are darker than Soldalatel's |
| 20:00.04 | Xho | Since his spheres of magic are quite obviously to do with the night rather than the day |
| 20:00.18 | OluapPlayer | Kinmo's existence kind of shifts the power to Aethereus's side so he could be the cause of it |
| 20:00.32 | Hachiman | Wouldn't there be a Soldalatel equivalent to Nalash / Kinmo |
| 20:00.40 | Xho | Yeah |
| 20:00.41 | Xho | Soldalatel |
| 20:00.43 | Xho | doi |
| 20:00.52 | Hachiman | fukn |
| 20:01.08 | Xho | Aethereus, Nalashtannylor and Kinmorunddraver are all the Simulacra of Purity because each one succeeded the former |
| 20:01.15 | Xho | And then just given the name 'Nalashtannylor' |
| 20:01.28 | OluapPlayer | Meanwhile Soldalatel is just her |
| 20:01.39 | Xho | The way I see it is that the universe cannot exist without those absolutes so these gods replace each other to maintain those absolutes |
| 20:03.00 | Xho | Soldalatel though is more or less the twin entity of Aethereus/Nalashtannylor/Kinmo |
| 20:03.22 | Xho | Just not a Simulacra I guess since her magic in turn is the polar opposite of the magic that the Simulacra have |
| 20:03.29 | Xho | Which is either darkness, void, or storm |
| 20:03.36 | Xho | Sun magic's a counter to all three |
| 20:03.43 | Xho | ah there explained it |
| 20:03.47 | Xho | gg irc |
| 20:03.57 | OluapPlayer | Dragon-Hitler is a light being iirc |
| 20:04.08 | Xho | Yeah but he's a major dick tho |
| 20:04.25 | Hachiman | Still light magic |
| 20:04.33 | Xho | but major dik |
| 20:04.43 | Xho | major dik lite |
| 20:05.12 | Xho | That and Soldalatel doesn't actually represent anything distinct either |
| 20:06.08 | Xho | Nalashtannylor takes most of her spheres of influence anyway |
| 20:06.51 | Xho | Koldenweltians could potentially interchange the two but Nalashtannylor is ultimately more powerful than Soldalatel |
| 20:07.25 | Xho | So I guess he takes the Simulacra status by darker magic and greater power than his sun counterpart |
| 20:07.59 | OluapPlayer | Mostly the latter |
| 20:10.23 | Xho | Nalashtannylor - woke up was king died still king |
| 20:12.10 | Xho | Nalashtannylor's power over Soldalatel is mainly because there are still a lot of Nalashtannylor's worshippers that still exist |
| 20:12.33 | Xho | As far as I can remember there's no culture on Koldenwelt that worships Soldalatel now |
| 20:13.04 | Xho | Oh wait the Lagosi |
| 20:13.25 | Hachiman | Lagosi have a mixed bag regarding their religions |
| 20:13.41 | Xho | Soldalatel - is there no one here dammit |
| 20:14.08 | OluapPlayer | Longinus - there is me and all my piercings |
| 20:14.10 | Hachiman | Some sects revere Soldalatel, others Nalashtannylor, others Mortium and Zran Kar, etc |
| 20:14.47 | Xho | Longinus is probably the only real believer left |
| 20:14.48 | Xho | tis ad |
| 20:14.52 | Xho | sad even |
| 20:14.56 | Hachiman | I imagine there is a fair number of Nalash worshippers among the Lagosi because Japanese lunar symbolism |
| 20:15.31 | Xho | Nalashtannylor's influence is rising again though what with Nalúnt's absolution and resurrection |
| 20:15.45 | Xho | Koldenwelt will probably see a rebirth in aetheromancy in the future |
| 20:16.36 | Xho | Although that being said the education in aetheromancy's been dead for 25,000 years or so |
| 20:16.50 | Hachiman | I can imagine some scholars have attempted recreating aetheromancy with its descendant magic schools, such as electromancy, aquamancy, etc |
| 20:16.57 | Xho | hydromancy dam u |
| 20:17.00 | Hachiman | fukn |
| 20:17.20 | Xho | The Orichalcum Elves believed that all magic stemmed from Sun, Storm and Darkness which is kind of true but not true at the same time |
| 20:17.53 | Xho | All magic can be learned separately but Sun/Storm have been deconstructed over time as well |
| 20:18.36 | Monet | Well could it be a very niche magic school. |
| 20:18.46 | Xho | It's mainly how the Orichalcum Elves developed means to control other kinds of magic that was easier to control than sun magic because jesus christ explosive sun magic is bad |
| 20:18.53 | Monet | Something only the greatest colleges had the resources ot teach. |
| 20:19.23 | Xho | Although of course other beings on Koldenwelt controlled other kinds of magic before the Orichalcum Elves decided to deconstruct their own |
| 20:19.31 | DanzaDelMondo | Hachiman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRky12eI9Lg&list=FLVgk3MXpU_EN_qzFHEbMfCg&index=1 |
| 20:19.40 | Xho | I imagine magic in Koldenwelt's a bit like a colour wheel were it all interplays into each other |
| 20:19.57 | Hachiman | Wouldn't the practice of Sun magic have also been affected by the fact that its usefulness was kinda limited to the Void and dark magic, which had a very heavily reduced presence in the world following Caligaduro's defeat |
| 20:20.20 | Xho | Pretty much |
| 20:20.40 | Xho | Kalarah tried dissolving the Order of Sol because it was the last large number of heliomancers left |
| 20:20.54 | Xho | It kind of worked but the Shiarchon did spend a few years killing off the rest of them |
| 20:21.28 | Xho | I don't know whether there were any other heliomancers on Koldenwelt besides the Orichalcum Elves |
| 20:21.31 | Xho | There must've been though |
| 20:22.21 | Xho | It's in the same way that the Néva were originally aetheromancers but after Aethereus was 'destroyed' their power waned into many other smaller schools |
| 20:22.25 | Xho | Mainly electromancy and cryomancy |
| 20:22.28 | Hachiman | Kormacvarah |
| 20:22.33 | Xho | ah yeah dur |
| 20:22.36 | Hachiman | They constructed the Coronaira after all |
| 20:22.39 | Xho | I'm being dumb tonight |
| 20:23.08 | Xho | "Created god-destroying whip burned down forest, but still did it" |
| 20:23.55 | Hachiman | Makes me wonder if the Lagosi attempted to use the ancient Kormacvarah ruins to recreate Sun magic; if they did attempt it, I imagine they did not succeed and probably concluded with them Fat Man-ing themselves |
| 20:24.08 | Xho | +1000 rads worth a shot |
| 20:24.55 | Xho | Lagosi inadvertently create a Fat Man from Fallout |
| 20:25.03 | Xho | Takes four to operate |
| 20:25.28 | Xho | Oh god now I'm getting the images of arcanised catapults |
| 20:26.14 | Hachiman | I meant Fat Man as in the hydrogen bomb that dropped on Nagasaki but that works hur |
| 20:27.16 | Xho | Ah great I've been talking on the IRC too long |
| 20:27.20 | Xho | Now I don't want to edit this page |
| 20:27.30 | Monet | So Lagosi try recreating sun magic -> mega boom |
| 20:27.33 | Hachiman | fukn do it niggo fagit |
| 20:27.36 | Hachiman | Yeah |
| 20:27.56 | Hachiman | Lagosi have committed a lot of mistakes in their past come to think about it |
| 20:28.07 | Xho | I do wonder how sun magic would be recreated |
| 20:28.28 | Monet | Xho: Trial and error. A lot of error |
| 20:28.34 | OluapPlayer | Sun magic didn't stop existing, there just aren't anymore people capable of casting it |
| 20:28.48 | DanzaDelMondo | Xho: >Lagosi inadvertently create a Fat Man from Fallout |
| 20:28.58 | Xho | Longinus - scrubs the lot of you |
| 20:29.02 | DanzaDelMondo | This is even more ironic considering that Lagosi are space Japan |
| 20:29.06 | DanzaDelMondo | magic Japan even |
| 20:29.11 | Xho | Oh god |
| 20:29.14 | Hachiman | Enslaved less sophisticated cultures, hunted and upset dragonkin, exploding themselves via attempting to recreate Sun magic |
| 20:29.20 | Xho | A bit like when the Freelanders tried to construct their own Void Matrix, their entire city imploded |
| 20:29.42 | Xho | There were many laughs that day by Caligaduro |
| 20:30.16 | Hachiman | I dunno why but I am imagining the intro scene of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen when you mention that |
| 20:31.01 | Hachiman | What with giant magitechnological alien artefact, scary ass giant unnatural demons, primitive humans shaking their wing-wangs about |
| 20:31.29 | Xho | Caligaduro - koldenwelt hasn't changed one bit |
| 20:31.37 | OluapPlayer | A day in Pelagrios's life |
| 20:32.04 | Xho | Pelagrios - TO BREATHE IS AGONY because no rum |
| 20:39.05 | Technobliterator | Cyrannian, can you give me the name of a Cyrannus planet? |
| 20:39.23 | DanzaDelMondo | Xho: So apparently Korea, when you count both the North and the South, have twice the soldiers Russia has |
| 20:39.33 | Technobliterator | Also, are the Republic likely to have any artillery-style walkers? |
| 20:39.44 | Xho | Well the North is insanely militarised |
| 20:40.52 | DanzaDelMondo | As is the South because of the North |
| 20:42.08 | DanzaDelMondo | Keep in mind South Korea has sentry guns |
| 20:42.29 | Xho | BUILDING A SENTRY, GANGNAM STYLE |

| 21:28.18 | Xho | hi |
| 21:29.19 | OluapPlayer | Against mutual enemies, yes |
| 21:29.39 | Xho | But substantially speaking |

| 21:37.07 | Xho | Jepardi: What would you say Harstag's relationship with Nalashtannylor is |
| 21:40.05 | Jepardi | He's pretty neutral to the other Simulacra but I'd think he sees Nally in a better light compared to the others |

| 21:59.32 | Xho | >a good enough meat shield |
| 21:59.39 | Xho | Nalashtannylor - same could be said about ur head lol |
| 22:00.28 | OluapPlayer | Zran Kar - for a big brain |
| 22:00.57 | Xho | Nalashtannylor - >big brain >doesn't understand love lotsa membrane dere |
| 22:01.13 | OluapPlayer | Zran Kar - and do u |

| 22:01.50 | OluapPlayer | Zran Kar - u dunt got servants dum turkey |
| 22:02.00 | Xho | Khaadun - objection your honour |
| 22:02.33 | OluapPlayer | Can't expect nice words from Zran Kar considering he seems to be the most evil Simulacrum who's not one of the Void trio |
| 22:02.55 | Xho | Seems like it |
| 22:03.58 | OluapPlayer | Considering how he likes to butt in while everyone is worried about the Eschaton |
| 22:04.17 | Xho | Zran Kar - yo tengo una pregunta Nalashtannylor - BUILD A WALL |
| 22:04.52 | OluapPlayer | Zran Kar - feel the bern turkey |

| 22:05.43 | Xho | cnacer |
| 22:09.17 | Xho | I'd say Crux would be worse than Zran Kar |
| 22:09.23 | Xho | If you could actually compare Crux to anything |
| 22:11.09 | Xho | Well I've added the festival dates to my Simulacra pages |
| 22:11.16 | Xho | Dunno whether you want to follow that trend or not |
| 22:11.31 | Xho | Even though it was subconsciously your idea first |
| 22:16.49 | Hachiman | I wouldn't say Crux is worse than Zran Kar; Zran Kar is outright malevolent while Crux is essentially an animal |
| 22:17.01 | Hachiman | They are like polar opposites hur |
| 22:17.10 | Xho | Caligaduro - both need a slap |
| 22:17.25 | Hachiman | As Zran Kar is the peak of divine knowledge |
| 22:18.18 | Hachiman | While Crux represents the most basic and repressed forms of instinctive and primal violence |
| 22:19.21 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
| 22:19.55 | Hachiman | I would say Zran Kar can be unpredictable |
| 22:21.08 | Monet | He has a method to his unpredictability |
| 22:22.57 | Monet | I suppose they're different kinds of dangerous. |
| 22:24.03 | OluapPlayer | Crux is probably not even sapient anymore |
| 22:24.08 | OluapPlayer | So he can't really be malevolent |
| 22:24.33 | Hachiman | If anything, he is a smart animal but he is not comparable to a human level of intelligence |
| 22:24.41 | Hachiman | Let alone a divine level |
| 22:27.00 | OluapPlayer | hes a big dumb dog except he leaks cthulhu magic everywhere |
| 22:28.04 | Xho | woofulu |
| 22:28.20 | Hachiman | borkf dagon, borkf hydra |
| 22:28.35 | OluapPlayer | Merkan - fuk off |
| 22:31.03 | OluapPlayer | So is every Simulacrum meant to have a Festival day now? |
| 22:33.19 | Monet | Dunno about 'meant' |
| 22:33.29 | OluapPlayer | I'm asking Xho |
| 22:33.44 | Xho | Not necessarily but that's what I'm doing with mine |
| 22:34.28 | Monet | I forgot I don't do much fantasyverse anymore. |
| 22:34.35 | OluapPlayer | lack of pattern is haram |
| 22:34.40 | OluapPlayer | I'll do it on mine |
| 22:35.07 | Hachiman | Should Colossi have a day too or |
| 22:35.08 | OluapPlayer | >29 Tempest's Apex |
| 22:35.09 | OluapPlayer | y not 21 |
| 22:35.30 | OluapPlayer | There are more Colossi than months so probably not |
| 22:35.36 | Monet | My guess is these festivals were decided by worshippers. |
| 22:35.41 | Hachiman | Doesn't mean they can't share months |
| 22:36.16 | OluapPlayer | Let it be a Simulacrum thing |
| 22:36.25 | Hachiman | Right |
| 22:36.41 | Hachiman | Crux isn't having one though because who in their right mind would celebrate Crux hur |
| 22:37.20 | Monet | People celebrate the start of winter. |
| 22:37.22 | OluapPlayer | From what I remember Xho saying, this is meant to be a day in the year where the Simulacrum's presence in the world is the strongest |
| 22:37.28 | Hachiman | Ah |
| 22:37.32 | OluapPlayer | So one day would exist, worshippers or no worshippers |
| 22:37.59 | OluapPlayer | Crux's day would be sometime during Zenith's Fall |
| 22:38.05 | Monet | Festivals don't have to be in celebration - they could be to ward away the threat. |
| 22:38.11 | Xho | Caligaduro's is 29 Tempest's Apex |
| 22:38.16 | Xho | Last day of the year |
| 22:38.19 | OluapPlayer | y not 21 |
| 22:38.22 | OluapPlayer | it deemun number |
| 22:38.27 | Xho | wrong universe |
| 22:38.29 | Xho | dum dum |
| 22:38.32 | OluapPlayer | deeeeeemun |
| 22:39.42 | Xho | To my memory Kalarah is born in Tempest's Apex so it is concurrent with Caligaduro's influence |
| 22:40.52 | Xho | I imagine that deities are associated with universal attributes in many ways other than the calendar |
| 22:40.56 | Xho | Like constellations and whatnot |
| 22:42.29 | OluapPlayer | Mortium's Spooky Constellation |
| 22:42.46 | Xho | skull shaped |
| 22:42.47 | Xho | doot |
| 22:43.02 | Xho | Skull Trumpet Constellation |
| 22:43.10 | OluapPlayer | GET IN THE STAR FORMATION |
| 22:44.56 | Xho | I imagine Colossi and other deities would have other festivals but those are probably more absolute dates |
| 22:45.30 | Xho | Every day is Isiris Day for Norrigan so |
| 22:45.31 | OluapPlayer | That's done |
| 22:45.36 | OluapPlayer | Norrigan - indeed |
| 22:46.11 | Xho | I imagine the Order of the Black Sun just have a festival date whenever they hell they want to have it |
| 22:46.29 | Xho | inb4 350 consecutive days of the same damn festival |
| 22:46.42 | OluapPlayer | Madii - today is Make Madii Wet day as was yesterday and every day before it |
| 22:46.42 | Xho | That has more than likely happened |
| 22:47.51 | Xho | I'd imagine Soldalatel's is also 16 Zenith's Peak |
| 22:48.01 | Xho | MIDSUMMER FOR THE SUN GODDESS |
| 22:48.04 | Xho | and whatnot |
| 22:48.36 | OluapPlayer | >The Festival of Analuhati takes place in 16 Zenith's Peak |
| 22:48.37 | OluapPlayer | m8 |
| 22:48.40 | Xho | Although technically the Orichalcum Elves would have just had it the same date every month for 8 months running |
| 22:48.48 | OluapPlayer | Hivemind festival |
| 22:48.52 | Xho | Soldalatel - ew no |
| 22:49.02 | OluapPlayer | Zran Kar - turkey legs for dinner |
| 22:49.09 | Xho | Soladalatel - is that a euphemism or |
| 22:49.17 | OluapPlayer | Zran Kar - no i will eat u |
| 22:49.42 | Xho | Maharaksas...hm dunno |
| 22:50.02 | Xho | Technically for the Skaurovirn a festival for Drascasur/Maharaksas is whenever someone gets ritually executed |
| 22:50.07 | Xho | So every day more or less |
| 22:50.35 | Xho | Getting thrown into a seemingly bottomless pit seems a good way to worship a dark god |
| 22:51.41 | Xho | Or perhaps whenever an infant is deemed too weak to trive |
| 22:51.42 | Xho | thrive |
| 22:51.48 | Xho | Full spartan mode on |
| 22:53.33 | OluapPlayer | all dai |
| 22:53.47 | Xho | Skaurovirn - humans? yes |
| 22:54.16 | Xho | Of course there's also flaying and ritual cannibalism |
| 22:54.28 | Xho | And just excessively brutal torture |
| 22:54.48 | Xho | Even the Shiarchon think the Skaurovirn are a plague on Koldenwelt's surface |
| 22:55.38 | Xho | "Ikea: Furniture Retailer Issues New Safety Warning After Toppling Dressers Kill 3 Children" |
| 22:55.47 | Xho | It's not funny but I'm still giggling |
| 22:55.56 | Xho | It just sounds ludicrous |
| 22:56.48 | DrodoEmpire | So apparently on the 22 of January, 1961, an American bomber plane crash landed in North Carolina. |
| 22:57.27 | DrodoEmpire | It was carrying two nuclear bombs, bombs whose yield was higher than the total combined yield of all other munitions detonated in human history. |
