| 15:47.25 | Xho | OH DEAR |
| 15:48.26 | Xho | Whoops caps |
| 15:49.23 | Imperios | Wormy_ Ghelae: I just thought about something |
| 15:49.45 | Imperios | What if the super collab race was semi-aquatic? |
| 15:50.07 | Imperios | Their agriculture would be linked with water and growing some sort of uber-seaweed, as well as fish |
| 15:50.20 | Imperios | Amongst more traditional agriculture |
| 15:51.15 | Ghelae | It would be possible. But if they need to keep their skin moist or if they rely on aquaculture, that will limit where they can have their settlements, at least until irrigation technology becomes highly effective. |
| 15:52.40 | Ghelae | Well, no; if they rely on aquaculture, that will only limit where they can live until they develop terrestrial agriculture. So that's a lot less limiting. |
| 15:55.33 | Ghelae | Are you thinking of the aquatic ape hypothesis here? |
| 15:57.51 | Imperios | That too |
| 16:02.19 | Ghelae | Something like that might sense if they evolved in an interglacial: as water levels rose, their forests became flooded and they were forced to adapt to that. |
| 16:02.54 | Ghelae | As opposed to here on Earth, where the evolution of hominin bipedalism occured during a period of cooling and drying. |
| 16:04.20 | Imperios | So they'd be like fishy reptiles/mammals |
| 16:07.33 | Ghelae | That depends on what you mean by "fishy". Most aquatic and semi-aquatic reptiles aren't very fish-like. |
| 16:09.42 | Imperios | Hmmmm |
| 16:09.45 | Imperios | That made me think |
| 16:10.01 | Imperios | With them being aquatic, perhaps the idea of a boat would not come to them as easily as it would to humans? |
| 16:10.21 | Imperios | Perhaps one of the bigger innovations of the Space Romans was the invention of ships? |
| 16:11.13 | AdmiralPanda | iunno, I think hte idea of a boat would come to them as easily as say a cart to us |
| 16:11.19 | AdmiralPanda | and for exactly the same reasons |
| 16:11.28 | Ghelae | Without boats, we also might expect only one of the continents to be inhabited, unless we add land bridges between them. |
| 16:12.12 | ImpyDroid | AdmiralPanda: A boat perhaps |
| 16:12.18 | ImpyDroid | A full fledged ship maybe not |
| 16:12.51 | AdmiralPanda | a full fledged ship would be the logical extension of a boat really, especially when we consider long distance travel and exploration |
| 16:12.51 | Ghelae | If the idea of boats comes very easily to them, perhaps the opposite occurs: rather than roads, canals are what cross the landscape. |
| 16:13.33 | ImpyDroid | Aye |
| 16:16.06 | Imperios | Needs more Veniced |
| 16:16.09 | Imperios | *Venice |
| 16:16.33 | AdmiralPanda | for an aspect of conversation that I can actually contribute to, SPEARS EVERYWHERE as far as warfare goes |
| 16:17.58 | AdmiralPanda | assuming that they do at some point transition to largely terrestrial, their initial cities would be settled in river deltas |
| 16:19.01 | Ghelae | I'm thinking they would just be essentially terrestrial, but hunting and foraging in coastal habitats. |
| 16:19.44 | ImpyDroid | AdmiralPanda: So like RL early civilisations but more submerged |
| 16:20.10 | AdmiralPanda | in that case yeah, river deltas- especially if you're going with the idea of them needing to keep their skin moist like frogs |
| 16:21.06 | AdmiralPanda | eventually watermoving via aqueducts and archimedes' screws at least would allow settling further inland and away from rivers |
| 16:21.35 | AdmiralPanda | although this raises the issue of salinity |
| 16:22.12 | AdmiralPanda | a biological organism conditioned to survive in saline water is utterly screwed if it spends time in non-saline water, and vice versa |
| 16:22.24 | Ghelae | I don't think they would need to keep their skin moist. They should still be descended from terrestrial creatures. |
| 16:22.56 | AdmiralPanda | in that case their early settlement patterns may as well mirror humans |
| 16:23.42 | AdmiralPanda | initially along flood plains, then as irrigation developed along the length of rivers, eventually further afield as watermoving developed further |
| 16:24.52 | AdmiralPanda | something like the Yangtze River Delta may have served as their equivalent of the Fertile Crescent |
| 16:25.41 | AdmiralPanda | and of course remember that population booms around centres of easily-grown staples, the equivalent of wheat, rice or maize |
| 16:26.41 | Imperios | Now I wonder how large a role aquaculture would play in their society |
| 16:27.31 | Ghelae | Traditional dietary staples might be made of seaweed rather than cereals. |
| 16:27.55 | AdmiralPanda | the issue with seaweed is that it's comparatively low in calories and carbohydrates |
| 16:28.05 | Ghelae | This is space seaweed. :P |
| 16:28.24 | AdmiralPanda | perhaps their vegetable diet consists of seaweed and another terrestrial staple? |
| 16:28.41 | AdmiralPanda | like the Japanese with seaweed and rice |
| 16:29.00 | Imperios | Ooooh have them have seaweed and rice soup |
| 16:29.08 | Imperios | That's what I thought of |
| 16:29.23 | Imperios | Speaking of the caste system, maybe there was an |
| 16:29.35 | AdmiralPanda | those two between them have essentially everything you need for balanced nutritional intake, supplement it with fishing and you're basically good |
| 16:29.41 | Imperios | a social strata of people who work the earth, and a caste of people who operate with water |
| 16:29.57 | AdmiralPanda | Imperios: u tryna Tau this arent u |
| 16:30.00 | AdmiralPanda | [purges] |
| 16:30.41 | Imperios | [GREATER GOOD INTENSIFIES] |
| 16:31.48 | AdmiralPanda | Ghelae: anyway, that's my opinion, a mix of seaweed and [insert space staple] supplemented by fishing and foraging along the coast |
| 16:33.38 | Ghelae | Yes; that diet seems most likely. |
| 16:37.32 | Ghelae | But seriously, is there a good reason why we would expect the analogs of seaweed on alien planets to be low-calorie, as opposed to mere evolutionary happenstance? Something about the environment preventing them from producing/storing large amounts of starch, for instance? |
| 16:38.06 | AdmiralPanda | well, more the fact that they're algae as opposed to a vegetable's reproductive reserve |
| 16:38.24 | Ghelae | So no need to store them, simply. |
| 16:38.30 | AdmiralPanda | precisely |
| 16:38.43 | Ghelae | That makes sense. |
| 16:39.08 | AdmiralPanda | in fairness I should have pointed that out from the beginning, so I apologise about that |
| 16:39.20 | Ghelae | No worries. |
| 16:40.08 | Ghelae | So the real agricultural revolution will still involve domesticating a more carbohydrate-rich terrestrial plant. |
| 16:40.21 | AdmiralPanda | essentially, yeah |
| 16:41.04 | AdmiralPanda | y'know what'd be interesting? a river delta with a mixed staple, algae and fish combined farm |
| 16:42.02 | Ghelae | I imagine those would exist. |
| 16:42.54 | AdmiralPanda | if it was a paddy kind of staple you could have an initial population boom, before eventual exploration leads to discovering a more terrestrial staple that would help permit further in-land settlement |
| 16:42.58 | Imperios | Fish broth with space rice and seaweede |
| 16:43.11 | AdmiralPanda | and of course Imperios is writing recipes :P |
| 16:44.12 | Ghelae | There's also shellfish; don't forget that. |
| 16:44.53 | Imperios | This is not me, this is just our national cuisine hur |

| 16:46.37 | Ghelae | Apparently a wealthy one, given the amount of bling. |
| 16:48.00 | Ghelae | We could link to that picture on the pad? |
| 16:48.20 | Ghelae | Also, we should write about this semi-aquatic origin idea. |
| 16:48.46 | Ghelae | I'll do that at the start of the cultures section. |

| 16:55.26 | Wormy_ | Mwah hah hah, I have created virtual lifeforms. |
| 16:56.07 | AdmiralPanda | I am never going to stop laughing at the fact that there's a weapon called a "nunga nunga" (also nulla nulla) |
| 16:58.19 | Imperios | Ghelae: How do I reviewed coursework? |
| 16:58.46 | Ghelae | What do you mean? |
| 16:59.14 | Imperios | We are supposed to review each other's courseworks |
| 17:01.12 | Ghelae | I don't know. Presumably that means you're meant to assess it the same way whoever normally reviews it does. |
| 17:01.12 | AdmiralPanda | your course provider should have advised you of the means to peer-review, check the task sheet if you have one |
| 17:03.25 | AdmiralPanda | mind if I spitball some early warfare ideas while it's stuck in my head? |
| 17:03.37 | Ghelae | Go ahead. |
| 17:04.07 | AdmiralPanda | so if we're talking fishing people, their primary tools would be spears and knives, and military weapons first developed from hunting tools |
| 17:04.55 | AdmiralPanda | initially we basically have a zulu situation, where life is more valuable than land so battle would perhaps largely consist of long-range spear throwing with little in the way of real casualties |
| 17:05.33 | AdmiralPanda | when you reach the tipping point of land being more valuable than life, we start to care about actually killing people, so throwing spears would give way to shorter, stronger infantry spears, and shields would come into play |
| 17:06.21 | AdmiralPanda | clubs are always a relevant thing, and short spears may eventually give way to rudimentary swords |
| 17:07.09 | AdmiralPanda | as battle becomes more formalised and armies become a thing, you basically have romanisation in terms of military organisation, and perhaps even phalanxes of a sort |
| 17:08.04 | Imperios | AdmiralPanda: Until a Shaka appears |
| 17:08.29 | AdmiralPanda | Imperios: Shaka is way back at the point where land becomes more valuable than life |
| 17:09.01 | AdmiralPanda | ranged weapons wouldn't be as much a thing as we're talking a fairly aquatic-based people, beyond the aforementioned throwing spears |
| 17:09.25 | AdmiralPanda | an approximation of the roman Pilum may occur if throwing spears persist in warfare |
| 17:09.29 | Ghelae | Would you like to put this on the titanpad? Alternatively, I could do it and just credit you. |
| 17:09.45 | AdmiralPanda | go for it, I'm not involved in the project I'm just spitballing |
| 17:10.07 | Imperios | AdmiralPanda: I imagine the development of ranged weapons would be a big development |
| 17:10.14 | Imperios | a big change in history |
| 17:10.24 | AdmiralPanda | Imperios: it always is |
| 17:10.43 | Imperios | MAybe that's how SpaceRome fell |
| 17:10.51 | AdmiralPanda | the development of the crossbow had such a fundamental effect on warfare that it was outright banned |

| 17:11.45 | Imperios | Hi |
| 17:12.05 | AdmiralPanda | I'ma do a bit of looking into the history of the bow in a while |
| 17:12.10 | Imperios | AdmiralPanda: That stick that Mesoamericans had for throwing spears? Altepetl/woomera |
| 17:12.11 | Imperios | ? |
| 17:12.15 | AdmiralPanda | that's the one |
| 17:12.46 | AdmiralPanda | like the hollow piece of wood you slot the spear into and fling it forward so it kinda levers out |
| 17:17.23 | AdmiralPanda | you know what sucks about prehistoric weapons? there's no f*cking history about how they came into being XD |
| 17:18.03 | Hachiman | Well |
| 17:18.27 | Hachiman | Flesh-cutting stones were a thing wielded by pre-humans |
| 17:18.47 | AdmiralPanda | yeah, but I mean how the fuck do you come up with the concept of the bow |
| 17:18.54 | AdmiralPanda | like, it's not something copied from nature |
| 17:19.25 | AdmiralPanda | actually, I just had an idea, gonna take more research so I'll do it later cus multitasking |

| 17:24.52 | Hachiman | ooga booga |
| 17:25.16 | Imperios | Didgeridoos too |
| 17:25.18 | AdmiralPanda | anyway, boomerangs could basically be considered fancy throwing clubs for hunting purposes, in our theoretical species' development you're instead looking at throwing spears for fishing |
| 17:26.32 | AdmiralPanda | and didgeridoos are basically just oversized breath/wind instruments, the existence of which depends more on the native trees and the presence of termite-equivalents than the people that live there |
| 17:28.25 | Imperios | Right |
| 17:28.55 | AdmiralPanda | btw in case anyone's wondering, the prevalence of spears is due to the fact that anything not of a pointy nature is dramatically less useful in water |
| 17:29.10 | Imperios | Hm, perhaps the sword-analogue in the collab culture could be developed from the spear, as opposed to the sickle? |
| 17:29.19 | Imperios | Like spear -> glaive -> sword |
| 17:29.28 | Hachiman | WAT |
| 17:29.30 | AdmiralPanda | that's what I was suggesting, although more like spear > shortspear > sword |
| 17:29.31 | Hachiman | Sorry caps |
| 17:29.45 | Hachiman | I was gonna say |
| 17:29.52 | Hachiman | How do you go from glaive to sword hur |

| 17:30.15 | Imperios | *A glaive |
| 17:30.21 | AdmiralPanda | yeah, but used for different purposes |
| 17:30.38 | AdmiralPanda | the more logical progression from the glaive is the halberd |
| 17:30.54 | Imperios | right |

| 17:32.21 | Imperios | Hi |
| 17:35.38 | Imperios | Wormy_ Hachiman: Apparently there's an initiative to construct a monument to gopniks in Saint-Petersburg |
| 17:35.45 | Hachiman | wat |
| 17:36.22 | Wormy_ | meanwhile in Russia |
| 17:36.31 | Imperios | As in a literal statue of a giant squatting gopnik |
| 17:37.33 | AdmiralPanda | I mean, Australia likes its bogans, but we ain't raising a monument to them |
| 17:39.57 | Imperios | Also I wonder if the super collab species could be partially aquatic |
| 17:40.32 | AdmiralPanda | you wondered that before |
| 17:40.32 | Hachiman | I thought the species was just humans with a different name |
| 17:42.04 | Imperios | AdmiralPanda: As I said I am not thinking straight right now hur |
| 17:42.09 | Imperios | I was talking to Wormy |
| 17:42.13 | Imperios | I meant "wondered" |
| 17:43.10 | Wormy_ | I saw |
| 17:44.21 | Wormy_ | Like Ghel said, they would find a way to spread agriculture inland. One difficulty is that it may limit our choices, for example nomadic steppe peoples. |

| 17:46.02 | Wormy_ | I also predict qauite a bit of the planet would be arid (cold or hot), with some warm/wet grasslands that could be used for terrestrial agriculture. However, then I really wonder about what the point is if we are making them semi-aquatic. |
| 17:46.15 | Wormy_ | hi |
| 17:46.19 | Ghelae | Hello. |
| 17:46.22 | Ghelae | They wouldn't be obligate semi-aquatics. |
| 17:46.23 | Monet | hi |
| 17:46.37 | AdmiralPanda | from a biological perspective, being partially aquatic would severely limit their travel potential until they essentially develop the wetsuit |
| 17:46.56 | Ghelae | They're still probably descended from arboreal creatures; just with some coastal adaptations like the aquatic ape hypothesis. |
| 17:48.21 | Wormy_ | Once cultural practises develop, they might look less and less dependent on (seaweed production?) |
| 17:48.26 | Ghelae | Yes. |
| 17:48.45 | Wormy_ | That makes me think this choice isn't a very important one |
| 17:49.01 | Ghelae | It shouldn't be hugely transformative. |
| 17:49.23 | Ghelae | But it has given the history a beginning. |
| 17:49.52 | Imperios | Hi |
| 17:49.56 | Wormy_ | The_Randomness's critique style has rubbed off on me hur |
| 17:51.21 | Wormy_ | I haven't got any reason for it not to be the case |
| 17:56.23 | Wormy_ | One thing to add to it actually |
| 17:56.30 | Wormy_ | Lowering sea levels |
| 17:57.01 | Wormy_ | More shallow water for seaweed and other shallow sea lifeforms |
| 17:59.35 | Ghelae | That depends on the topography of the seabed, doesn't it? |
| 18:00.11 | Ghelae | Because on the contrary, one could argue that rising sea levels flooded the coasts and thereby made more shallow water that way. |
| 18:00.57 | Wormy_ | It does, yes (but given that many places are likely to experience such if we go for a glacial climate, it's a possibility) |
| 18:01.59 | Wormy_ | Oceans tend to become deeper I think, away from the supercontinent, and secondly, more water gets frozen at the poles, especially the Northern one |
| 18:02.51 | Ghelae | So would some areas have become better for aquaculture and others worse? |
| 18:03.55 | Wormy_ | Yes, I don't think one could generalise everywhere under the same rule |

| 23:48.52 | Monet | I got bored and decided to see how the kingdoms of Westeros compared to the old kingdoms of England |
| 23:49.48 | Monet | From what I can tell, there's a fair bit of correlation |
| 23:51.13 | Monet | The kingdoms of the North and the Reach for instance, are probably Westeros' anser to the kingdoms of Northumbria and Mercia. |
| 23:52.47 | Monet | Dorne might be Kent, the Stomlands might be Wales or East Anglia. |
| 23:54.07 | *** join/#sporewiki DrodoEmpire (2f37c603@gateway/web/freenode/ip.47.55.198.3) |
| 23:54.37 | Monet | The Riverlands is either Wessex or Sussex. Probably Wessex as King's Landing is situated nowhere near the heart of the kingdom, and was close to the border of the Reach/Mercia |
| 23:55.01 | Monet | The kindom of the West is definitely Wales |
| 23:55.45 | Monet | The Iron Islands are possibly the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands |
| 23:56.38 | Monet | ALthough "Kingdom of the Mountain and the Vale" does sound like Wales. |
| 23:57.03 | TekDroid | Iron islands are probably man due to location |
| 23:57.30 | Monet | OKay just found a map that has the Crowlands |
| 23:58.04 | Monet | Crowlands are likely Sussex while the Riverlands are Wessex. |
| 23:59.10 | Monet | One of the most defining natural features of Wessex was the River hames. |
| 23:59.53 | Monet | There's not an exact correspondance; the Reach is down south while historically the Empire of Mercia held most of central England. |
