00:11.12DrodoEmpireAlright
00:34.41The_Randomnesstfw you close Stellaris by accident
00:35.32Technobliteratordoes it have autosave?
00:35.35The_Randomnessyeah
00:41.28Technobliteratoroh, it's not as bad as accidentally closing FFX then
00:41.30TechnobliteratorI have done that before
00:50.42The_Randomnesslol
01:00.25Charles_MurrayCurrently working on this : http://imgur.com/zj7JFvQ France's military preparedness
01:00.48The_RandomnessI see
01:00.53Charles_MurrayAnything you guys think I should add? I'm thinking of a "war weariness" or "war enthusiasm" category
01:01.05The_RandomnessNo, I think that's sufficient

01:11.25Charles_MurrayI made a thing
01:11.42dino82_oh!
01:12.12CyrannianVery nice, I really like the Key relationships sections
01:12.16Cyrannian*section
01:12.32Charles_MurrayI worked hard on that :D Thank you
01:12.47Charles_Murraydino82_ : Your uniform post inspired me
01:13.13dino82_neat section! I like it!
01:13.16dino82_Oh thanks Charles :D
01:15.21dino82_honored that it inspired you!
01:16.30Charles_MurrayOdd that when I see a lighthearted picture of a uniform I begin to think about grand military strategy and the logistics of military readiness
01:16.45dino82_haha idd
01:16.51Charles_MurrayI've been wanting to make the French page as visual as possible as I write it
01:16.52Wormy_gamingWow, looks really nice
01:17.04Charles_MurrayThanks Wormy!
01:17.45Charles_MurrayDoes the visual language make sense?
01:19.42dino82_yeah
01:21.12Wormy_gamingNot sure what the green and red signify, whether they are active?
01:22.47Charles_MurrayLight green indicates France's current state
01:22.59Charles_Murraydark green are the states which have been surpassed
01:23.09Charles_MurrayRed are the states which haven't been attained yet
01:30.19Wormy_gamingI see
01:35.31Charles_MurrayWould it help to remove the dark green?

01:49.09DrodoEmpireAhh
01:49.35DrodoEmpireLooks pretty good
01:50.34dino82_thanks :D
01:51.04DrodoEmpireSo uniforms change depending on military readiness?
01:51.18DrodoEmpireIs this a normal doctrinal thing or is it a uniform update in general?
01:53.47dino82_no it is a new uniform after a new view of Rambo Command, so a general update in general
01:53.59dino82_if doctrinal a weapon would be added or flack vests
01:54.12DrodoEmpireAhh, makes sense
01:54.14dino82_just a revamp for uniforms, this is their cadet uniform

12:16.23Wormy_Hachiman:  There is this Xeelee story called "The Seer and the Silvermen" which is like something out of Doctor Who
12:16.31HachimanOh?
12:17.42Wormy_Basically its an ancient community the Coalition contacts where Ghosts and Humanity have lived together in relative peace.  But during the Ghost wars and the appearence of the Coalition, the Ghosts became marginalised.  Then people, infant to elderly, started being abducted
12:18.11Wormy_Coinciding with the abduction were short featureless man-like creatures covered head to foot in ghost hide
12:18.22Wormy_That started appearing at random
12:19.21Wormy_They just walk around and observe (and are pretty dumb), don't mind being prodded by children for example
12:19.38HachimanHuh
12:20.27Wormy_People obviously got suspicious of the Silvermen so would hem them into corners of rooms, or give them setience collars to make them suffer
12:21.20Wormy_Ghosts sort of reveal that they are trying to learn about what motivates humanity, not just in mind but in body as well, so build a creature anatomically similar to ourselves
12:22.15Wormy_Despite being super-advanced the Ghosts were reather incapable of understanding us or putting up a defense
12:23.08Wormy_They can be killed easily by a human with a knife and flocks of ghosts flee pathetically
12:24.39HachimanHuh
12:24.48HachimanWhat are Ghosts made of?
12:26.19Wormy_Well, they look like spheres of silvery chrome.  Inside is a whole ecosystem of creatures.  Originally the Ghosts were one species, but their sun died and their planet froze over.  The Ghosts obsessed with conserving heat, so covered their bodies and their ecosystems in this smart silvery hide
12:26.59Wormy_Silver rather than black, because although black absorbs more heat, it also releases heat more quickly
12:27.53Wormy_The Ghosts also obsessed with almost religious conviction to fix the universe, which they perceive as flawed.  So they often meddle with the laws of physics
12:29.44Wormy_The hide is smart, alive, and can withstand the vacuum of space or tremendous heat and cold (there's one story where they conduct experiments deep in a star)
12:30.09Wormy_It can also seem to open up at will, when they want to feed
12:30.22Wormy_usually on moud
12:30.24Wormy_*mud
12:31.33MonetYummy nutritious mod
12:33.59MonetI'll be back in a little bit. Have a couple of things to do
12:36.16Wormy_They'd love Glastonbury
12:38.14MonetThey'll just need to be careful of the broken syringes and discarded cigarettes mixed into the mud.
12:38.21HachimanAye hur
12:38.25HachimanGhosts sound pretty strange
12:38.36MonetActually that'd be pretty funny; a silver ghost stoning itself after eating Glastonbury mud.

12:52.37Wormy_hur
12:56.45DrodoEmpireHm, here's something I've wondered
12:57.19DrodoEmpireHow would nations that have many different species manage their military?
12:58.08DrodoEmpireNow, of course, if every species is for the most part humanoid (or whatever else) it wouldn't be a big issue, but consider a state like the DI
12:58.34*** join/#sporewiki OluapPlayer (badaf85e@gateway/web/freenode/ip.186.218.248.94)
12:58.34*** mode/#sporewiki [+o OluapPlayer] by ChanServ
12:58.55DrodoEmpireDo you only allow some species to serve (in the frontlines at least)? Do you deal with the inevitable logistical problems to make use of every species' potential skills?
12:59.12HachimanDrodoEmpire: I would take a look at the Covenant Empire's military
12:59.57DrodoEmpireTrue- they dealt with inevitable logistics issues to make use of every species' skills
13:00.12HachimanI do not even feel like they had many logistical issues
13:00.24HachimanCould you expand on what you mean by that?
13:00.26DrodoEmpireProbably because we didn't *see* that part of the war
13:01.31DrodoEmpireWell, logistics, as in supplying the troops with clothing, armour, ammunition, and weapons, moving fresh troops to the front and wounded or those on leave off of the front, being able to treat those wounded and replace broken arms/vehicles, etc.
13:01.37DrodoEmpireIts 80% of the war
13:02.11HachimanWell, ammunition is not too much of a problem for the Covenant because energy weapons
13:02.17DrodoEmpireAnd if you tons of different species, with different needs, diets, medical procedures, shapes and sizes, its like having ten different services rifles with ten different cartridges
13:02.30DrodoEmpire*service rifles
13:03.40DrodoEmpireRight, but now you have a bajillion different forms of armour and uniform which're probably more expensive than the weapons- you also need medical staff skilled enough and supplied enough to treat several different species
13:03.56OluapPlayerWhy get so worked out, it's just a videogame
13:04.15DrodoEmpire...Because its fun to talk about, and makes for a good example of a fictionverse question?
13:04.30OluapPlayerHow is this fun in any way hur
13:05.01DrodoEmpireIts fun to me, because I enjoy military history
13:05.08HachimanIt's shown that despite having a variety of species, they can handle most of the standard equipment and weaponry supplied by Covenant manufacturers - many use the same sidearms and grenades for example, with some sharing use of the larger firearms; even humans can manage Covenant weapons when they get ahold of them
13:05.09DrodoEmpireI don't really care if you think otherwise
13:05.19HachimanSo there must be something in how they are designed to work between species
13:05.32OluapPlayerSheesh
13:05.34OluapPlayerOkay then
13:05.39DrodoEmpireYeah they did definitely manage the weapons problem well
13:05.40HachimanBit rude Drodo
13:06.18DrodoEmpireI'm sorry Oluap, but at the same time you said yourself that is subject was boring and I shouldn't talk about it because its a videogame
13:06.26DrodoEmpireAnd I found that a bit rude
13:06.31DrodoEmpire*that this
13:06.35OluapPlayerDon't put words in my mouth. I asked what was the appeal of it
13:06.39OluapPlayerI ddin't order you to stop talking
13:07.12DrodoEmpireI didn't say you ordered me, sorry it came off that way
13:07.19DrodoEmpireAnyway, I was a bit offended too is the point
13:07.49HachimanI should probably clear up that the talk was about how nations consisting of multiple alien species organise their military efficiently
13:07.56DrodoEmpire^
13:07.58HachimanAnd I brought up the Covenant as an example
13:08.03DrodoEmpireYeah
13:09.03DrodoEmpireStill though Hachi, they definitely did do well in terms of weapons, but is there any evidence that other items and armour are also cross-species? (I genuinely don't know, its been too long since I played Halo >.<)
13:10.45*** join/#sporewiki AdmiralPanda (65b18fa9@gateway/web/freenode/ip.101.177.143.169)
13:10.53AdmiralPandahi all
13:10.56DrodoEmpireHi
13:11.31DrodoEmpireIt may be a safe assumption they've standardized rations and food- which would be a *huge* logistical challenge
13:12.12DrodoEmpireEither way it might be true that the Covenant represent a best-case scenario regarding a multispecies military
13:12.28HachimanI know that Grunts need a bit of special treatment because they cannot breath oxygen like the other Covenant species but their dietary needs are not as complex or demanding as others
13:12.36DrodoEmpireRight, right
13:13.09AdmiralPandaall grunts need is happy gas and food nipples
13:13.36HachimanRegarding armour, I am not entirely certain but then most species do not rely on the actual armour materials to stay defended - their armour sets come with built-in force fields or something like that
13:14.21*** join/#sporewiki MonetAway (~Monet47@cpc90522-gill20-2-0-cust960.20-1.cable.virginm.net)
13:15.50DrodoEmpireRight, and energy shields are probably easier to standardize and thus supply
13:16.04HachimanIf anything, supplying Grunts is the most demanding thing; their military gear is required to actually have life support systems built into them and Grunts are perhaps the most common Covenant species behind Drones
13:16.09HachimanWho do not really need armour at all
13:16.12AdmiralPandaonly Elites and Jackals actually have energy shield tech, grunts are SOL and brutes don't really use it with few exceptions
13:16.13HachimanAye
13:16.20HachimanRight
13:16.34AdmiralPandaelites having full-body shields and jackals having their gauntlets
13:16.35DrodoEmpireRight
13:17.03HachimanSupplying Jackals with armour in that case is not a big deal since they do have a shield dependency
13:18.43HachimanI think the most difficult thing to overcome would be dietary plans and medical treatment
13:19.02HachimanAlthough Sangheili kind of refuse medical treatment because of cultural stuff
13:19.25MonetAwayI imagine for the Covenant a life-support system for the Grunts is easy to provide.
13:19.28AdmiralPandabrb
13:19.59DrodoEmpireThink of the number of Grunts though
13:20.04MonetAwayDoesn't look that much more complex than SCUBA gear to me; a gas mask, methane supply.
13:20.10HachimanTrue
13:20.18DrodoEmpireHachiman: Yeah food is hard enough to supply with a *single* species
13:20.37*** join/#sporewiki AdmiralPanda_ (65b18fa9@gateway/web/freenode/ip.101.177.143.169)
13:21.00MonetAwayThey don't appear to need much more life support than a different form of air. But I agree with the concern of dietary requirements.
13:21.03HachimanElites believe that losing blood outside of combat is severely dishonourable so they outright refuse medical treatment unless absolutely necessary, Grunts are so expendable I do not think medical treatment is a thing for them
13:21.14DrodoEmpireRIght
13:21.32AdmiralPanda_with grunts, most of their armour is actually life-support system, and in a couple of the novels it's stated that occupation forces have to set up sealed barracks for the grunts complete with airlocks
13:22.38HachimanAlso apparently Covenant species are known to eat each other on occasion
13:22.59HachimanBrutes, Jackals, and Grunts specifically
13:23.09DrodoEmpireMust not be great for morale. >.<
13:23.51HachimanAs far as I know, most members of the Covenant either eat meat or are omnivorous
13:26.23HachimanAlso, the Covenant possess a thing called an "automated surgery suite", which is controlled by an AI
13:26.42DrodoEmpireRight
13:26.45HachimanOtherwise, their medical treatment is lacking
13:26.59MonetAwayIf Covenant species eat each other does that mean they can eat each others' food?
13:27.06HachimanI imagine so
13:27.37HachimanProbably needs a fair bit of alteration in order to not get sick though
13:28.20HachimanAlso, Drodo, I should note that most vehicles can be driven by practically any member of the Covenant
13:28.37HachimanProbably using the same means of how weapons can be universally used between them
13:29.19AdmiralPanda_such as a trigger :P
13:29.45HachimanWell I mean, there is that, but each species has a different hand structure
13:30.07DrodoEmpireRight
13:30.19DrodoEmpireSo in all they've surmounted many logistical challenges
13:30.25HachimanYeah, seems so
13:31.45HachimanThe thing about the Covenant though, which is a significant point, is that their technology is imitative - not innovative
13:32.24HachimanSo in many areas, they are lacking because they do not have many creative minds
13:33.35MonetAwayYeah. While they can churn out plazma technology very easily, the tech they do churn out is woefully inefficient.
13:34.03HachimanEither inefficient, incomplete, or outdated
13:34.05HachimanOr all three
13:34.15Wormy_http://imgur.com/gallery/85XiMbp
13:34.17MonetAwayAll it's taken for UNSC scientists ot make something better is a few optimisations.
13:35.05AdmiralPanda_that is mostly due to the religious connotations of Forerunner tech rather than ineptitude, though
13:35.10HachimanTrue
13:35.22AdmiralPanda_the Adeptus Mechanicus face the same issue
13:35.30HachimanAlso how fucking difficult it seems to be to find complete Forerunner tech to imitate
13:35.56MonetSo the best they can manage is getting half-effective Forerunner tech to work
13:36.09HachimanHalf-effective, reverse-engineered Forerunner tech
13:36.27MonetLike trying to get a car working when half of it is rusted over and the best you can do is guess what the parts should look like.
13:36.46HachimanEssentially filling in the blanks
13:37.19HachimanEven then, I think most of the technology they scavenge from the Forerunners is actually from their declining era
13:38.18MonetProbably. WHat they find is either locked in a vault or simply left lying around.
13:38.31MonetThe latter would imply it was dropped and forgotten.
13:42.21MonetI am reminded of one of Altair's journal notes over the Apple of Eden. Where he wondered if the Assassins and Templars could have been fighting over what might have essentially alien rubbish.
13:42.30MonetThe stuff the alliens simply threw away.
13:42.53HachimanAye
13:43.13HachimanAlthough I think it is clear that the Apple was quite important to the First Civilisation or whatever they're called
13:43.43MonetIt was
13:44.19MonetBut this idea was something Altair still wondered given it's potential t ohave been some kind of trinket
13:44.50MonetCOme to think of it kind of like how disposable some phones are getting.
13:46.30HachimankINDA
13:46.30MonetOr things like burner phones.
13:46.32HachimanWhoops caps
13:47.13MonetIn the latter regard; the potential existed that the Apple in Altair's hands could have been some outdated model.
13:47.46MonetHe just didn't know.
13:50.54MonetIn the end though I think the idea of the entry was Altair was entertaining the possibility that something like the Apple might have been a trivial device to the First Civilisation.

18:03.57HellrockQuick question
18:04.25Monetokay
18:04.45HellrockCan the Ambox content image be used for minor fiction purposes, like as an image for relationships with other empires?
18:04.47Hellrockhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ambox_content.png
18:05.36Wormy_awayYes
18:06.35Hellrockk
18:08.33Wormy_awayMonet:  The Soyuz rockets have a safety mechanism that actually came in action once if the rocket explodes, where the crewed module can become an escape pod.
18:09.52Wormy_away"At the tip of the Soyuz rocket is an engine that can be activated instantaneously to eject the module in which the astronauts are located. This was used twice, in 1975, when two Russian astronauts landed safely after bailing out when their Soyuz hit trouble a few minutes into the flight, and in 1983 when another two-man crew ejected after the rocket burst into flames at the launch-pad.

21:14.39The_RandomnessHello
21:19.27The_RandomnessCharles_Murray Charles_Bot DrodoEmpire: Sorry to be a bother, but do you guys think you'll be available later for collabverse stuff?
21:45.09The_Randomnesswb
21:48.05dromSteam sale is on now
21:48.22The_RandomnessI heard
21:49.05HachimanSo, I learned something today
21:49.56HachimanReferendums are not legally binding in the UK; to follow the result of them is advisory, but not mandatory
21:50.13HachimanSo the British Government could decide against whatever the majority vote is
21:51.09Charles_MurrayRight, but that would give the conservatives reason to oust Cameron and install someone who will follow the result of the vote
21:52.13HachimanWhy would it when, from what I have seen, most Tories are Remainers anyway?
21:52.15MonetThat approach of defying the referendum outcome is what Greece tried doing.
21:52.18Charles_MurrayThey're not -legally- binding, but the consequences are lined up in such a way that Cameron has no out if he wants to remain as Prime Minister
21:52.34Charles_MurrayMonet : Ehhh, not -reall-y
21:52.54Charles_MurrayIt was a mess, but a completely different kind of mess from what Hachi is suggesting
21:53.51MonetI am losing memory of the event
21:53.58Charles_MurrayHachiman : The conservative party is split; in order to win the referendum, the conservatives are going to need the pro-remain labour vote, and they're not very enthusiastic about it
21:54.49MonetI mostly remember Tsipras and his government wasn't so popular after they pushed reforms that the EU wanted after much of the Greek population voted against more European intervention.
21:55.36MonetReforms that as I understood could have been implemented in January of that year had Syriza not been so focused on kicking up a fuss.
21:55.37Charles_MurrayRight, though the referendum was meant originally as a demonstration of Greece's willingness to walk, and to reject the EU's terms.
21:55.53HachimanSweden did it before; there was a referendum surrounding changing the sides of the roads that Swedes drove on to match those crossing into their borders from Norway and Finland; 83% voted to keep the conditions as they were at the time but the Swedish Government ignored them and changed sides anyway
21:56.26HachimanUnder the justification that defying the people would be best for the people when stacked against the facts that their current road conditions were causing accidents on the borders
21:57.01Charles_MurrayMonet : The EU didn't budge, and due to the reality of the situation regarding Greece's debt forced the government to accept even harsher terms than had been proposed in the referendum
21:57.21Charles_MurrayWhich took a huge toll on the left's legitimacy in Greece
21:58.25Wormy_<PROTECTED>
21:59.12Charles_MurrayHachiman : I'm not sure what happened there, but there's a lot that goes into these sorts of political situations; not just the referendum result. The referendum in Britain isn't just about switching the side of the road people drive on, it's tied up with issues of national identity, of the economic well-being of the average person, of humiliation and prestige, etc
21:59.19HachimanWormy_ : No offense, but Google Translate is absolutely awful
21:59.20drom<PROTECTED>
21:59.28MonetHow good are Google Translate's portuguese translation algorithms?
21:59.44HachimanYou would have to ask Oluap
21:59.51Charles_MurrayWhich means that people are -very- invested in the result, and the parties have maneuvered in such a way that backing out of the result is politically impossible
22:00.01Wormy_<PROTECTED>
22:00.36dromMonet Hachiman Wormy_: Translate few snippets from random works and send them to Oluap, and then count how many strokes he get from reading the translations.
22:00.37HachimanAlso, can I add that people who give non-voters shit for not voting and "making excuses instead of change" need to get their heads out of their asses
22:01.16Wormy_<PROTECTED>
22:02.00Charles_MurraySPEAK AMURICAN
22:02.05Monetdrom: There's also the slight issue that this guy uses mainland Portuguese while Oluap speaks Brazillian portuguese
22:02.27HachimanAye
22:02.47dromCharles_Murray: Speak Canadian
22:02.55dromSpeak British
22:03.03MonetI'm no expert but the difference *might* be a little more complicated than English vs American English.
22:03.06Charles_MurraySpeak Australian
22:03.18Wormy_Speak KKLINGON
22:03.18dromSpeak New Zealandish
22:03.26Charles_MurraySpeak Indian
22:03.36Wormy_Speak Hutsi
22:03.38dromSpeak Scottish
22:04.16dromSpeak Esperanto
22:04.19MonetAlso with this referendum things might be different than Sweden as the eyes of the world are upon the outcome.
22:04.28Wormy_Speak Klekkian Cuniform
22:04.37MonetWhich means more pressure for Westminster.
22:05.32HachimanAccording to Oluap, the guy we are talking about is not speaking mainland Portuguese
22:05.35HachimanHe is Brazilian
22:05.51Wormy_ACtually, I recall he said he did
22:05.57dromSwedish politics also run on both "who cares lol" and political correctness
22:06.07Charles_MurrayMonet : The British are voting for their own reasons, whether the world is watching or not won't really influence the outcome or the British government's reaction
22:06.36Charles_MurrayMonet: Ultimately, the elected British government is beholden to its MP's, who are in turn elected by the voters.
22:07.57Wormy_Indeed
22:08.20MonetCharles_Murray: It's not going to influence the outcome or hwo the British government reacts, no.
22:09.42HachimanHis opinion on the matter is that if this guy is being uncooperative, he is likely uninterested, and that he is dense for not speaking English on an English website
22:10.17MonetThe beautiful thing about democracy when it works well is that a public shitstorm is something best avoided.
22:10.43dromWormy_: Best part of pictures taken in Sweden is the details easily recognized as exclusive to Sweden, if not shared by Norway and Swedo-Finland already
22:11.05MonetThis is one of those times that sweeping the truth under the rug...kind of hard to do smoothly.
22:13.46dromOooh
22:13.47dromThis is new
22:15.30dromSome remote region has made an experiment by construction overhead wiring over a motorväg (motorway, high way, whatever..) for trucks. They just recently opened it.
22:15.33Wormy_<PROTECTED>
22:17.17Wormy_<PROTECTED>
22:18.10HachimanHe likely won't respond in English
22:18.20HachimanBrazilians are kind of apathetic like that; Oluap can tell you
22:19.01Wormy_Thats his problem then, as far as I'm concerned I've given him the easiest option to communicate with us in the fiction universe
22:19.21Wormy_Imperfect but still better than doing it by the book
22:22.59Technobliterator<Hachiman> Also, can I add that people who give non-voters shit for not voting and "making excuses instead of change" need to get their heads out of their asses
22:23.03TechnobliteratorI totally agree with this
22:23.21TechnobliteratorIf voters are disenfranchised, it's the fault of the politicans running and the ones in power, not their fault for being lazy
22:23.34TechnobliteratorOr they're just legitimately not interested
22:23.56MonetNot voting is not taking part i nthe democratic process.
22:24.00The_Randomness^
22:24.05HachimanLike, good job, voter; hope you realise that you didn't change shit either if your side loses
22:24.06TechnobliteratorAnd what if you don't want to?
22:24.21The_RandomnessThen don't bitch and moan when you say you weren't represented
22:24.44TechnobliteratorUh
22:24.45The_RandomnessBecause *you* made a conscious decision to not vote, and therefore not be represented
22:24.53TechnobliteratorThat's a hell of an assumption to make that the non-voter is doing that
22:26.10Monetnon-voting gets dangerous when thousands of people at a time do it.
22:26.15The_Randomnessyes
22:26.29TechnobliteratorBut what if they just didn't want to vote?
22:26.32The_RandomnessAnd it is their fault for not voting
22:26.36TechnobliteratorWhat if they just didn't like their options?
22:26.39HachimanWhat the fuck
22:27.00HachimanI hope you realise how misinformative, biased, and confusing our referendum has been
22:27.06HachimanThat's not *my* fault
22:27.07The_RandomnessI'm not talking about this
22:27.12TechnobliteratorHe's talking in general
22:27.42TechnobliteratorBut I do not agree, as someone who voted today myself, that it's fair to harp on at non-voters
22:28.12TechnobliteratorThey may have simply disliked their options, and consciously conceded that they would be happy with none of them, and just decided to let the process play out
22:28.16TechnobliteratorI don't think that's unfair
22:28.50MonetThe issue with this referendum is...what possible alternative is there between "stay i nthe EU" and "leave the EU"?
22:29.04Technobliteratoroh
22:29.08Technobliteratorthe referendum?
22:29.09The_RandomnessI hate to sound like this, but I actually don't have the time for this
22:29.16The_RandomnessI have raid starting now >_>
22:29.17HachimanThen why are you here?
22:29.20TechnobliteratorWell, if there are two options
22:29.31MonetI can understand Hachi's point with the general elections.
22:29.36Technobliteratorthen I think the same can still apply
22:29.51TechnobliteratorI don't think it's fair to force people to vote if they do not feel like they know enough, though
22:30.06The_RandomnessRight
22:30.17TechnobliteratorI agree with Random that they are in no place to bitch and moan if they get the result they didn't want, though :p
22:30.26TechnobliteratorThat's when it's just legit entitlement
22:30.50The_Randomnessyes
22:30.53Technobliteratorwhich I assume is probably the point that was being made anyway
22:30.55HachimanIt's not been very clearly defined what is going to happen whether we leave or leave, though; that's why so many people are torn up by just two "simple" options
22:31.04Hachiman*leave or stay
22:31.19Technobliteratorthe thing is, lots of the undecideds in these referendums tend to go for the status qup
22:31.55HachimanAll that has been spouted are "could-be's" and "what-if's" rather than actual concrete, solid statements beyond "we stay" or "we leave"
22:32.31TechnobliteratorWell, that's exactly the criticism that lots of people made of the Leave campaign
22:32.45MonetHachi may be talking about both sides.
22:32.49TechnobliteratorWith the Remain campaign, we do know, nothing changes
22:32.51TechnobliteratorI know that he is
22:32.51HachimanI feel this referendum has actually been handled quite poorly in that regard because it comes off to me that nobody actually knows what the fuck they are voting for
22:33.03TechnobliteratorBut I think it applies far more to the campaign against the status quo than for it
22:33.03HachimanThey just draw their own conclusions
22:33.21HachimanAnd yes, it applies for more for Leave than it logically does for Remain
22:33.25TechnobliteratorWell, that applies to any election in general, right?
22:33.33TechnobliteratorYou have stupid people who don't think about it and vote on emotion
22:33.50TechnobliteratorAnd you have smart people who have done research and decided to go for the option they went for
22:33.55TechnobliteratorIt's not exclusive to any particular option
22:35.01MonetLeave has been relying on emotion.
22:35.28TechnobliteratorI am inclined to agree
22:35.44HachimanI like how many people criticised Trump yet the phrase #MakeBritainGreatAgain has been thrown about unironically since this referendum started
22:36.21TechnobliteratorWhat's worse to me is lots of people on the internet whining about how certain people cannot have an opinion because they're not from Britain
22:36.28Technobliteratorthen those same people go off to make comments about Trump

22:38.29Wormy_Not suprising
22:38.30Technobliteratorhahaha no way
22:38.31Technobliteratoroh yeah
22:38.35Technobliteratorof course
22:38.46HachimanWell, that is unsurprising
22:39.09TechnobliteratorI imagine it won't be as much of a landslide elsewhere, but I predict: Scotland mostly Remain, Wales mostly Remain, Northern Ireland mostly Leave, England very close but Leave
22:39.27HachimanOh, Northern Ireland will definitely have pro-Leave majority
22:39.30MonetI've heard NI is quite pro-remain.
22:39.39HachimanWait, really?
22:39.39TechnobliteratorHuh, really?
22:39.44TechnobliteratorThat is interesting
22:39.55TechnobliteratorWell, England will be the only Leave one then :o
22:39.59Wormy_Not many in NI, Wales and Scotland have been voting in comparison, according to statistics
22:40.45MonetAFAIK England's the country most likely to conclude "leave"
22:41.15MonetI think the support in NI is because, as Cyrannian pointed out the other day, should the UK leave the Irish borders get...complicated.
22:42.33HachimanYeah, that's true

22:46.18Wormy_Leave or Remain, either way we are stuck with bureaucratic neoliberals.
22:46.27Wormy_Our country or Europe
22:46.41TechnobliteratorThis is true
22:47.02MonetI'm skeptical that State of Great Britain will happen.
22:47.16Wormy_For a moderate leftist/liberal like me, this was a really hard choice as I don't see a great deal of change either side
22:47.18TechnobliteratorI'd just rather those bureaucratic neoliberals didn't threaten to get rid of worker's rights, personally
22:47.21MonetIf it's attempted then we might see another referendum
22:47.33TechnobliteratorState of Great Britain? I hope not
22:47.44TechnobliteratorI hope they're split into different states
22:47.55MonetThey will
22:47.57TechnobliteratorEngland, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, why keep them as one state
22:48.15Wormy_I actually wouldn't mind the UK being a state...  If the EU was a democratic body.
22:48.30Wormy_But it looks like it ain't going that way
22:48.39MonetBut my point is that I see it as unlikely, given the past 40 years, that Westminster wil lsimply bend over and become a part of some European Federation.
22:48.54Wormy_Yeah
22:49.34TechnobliteratorI don't see what people have against that
22:50.00Technobliteratorother than MUH NASHONAL PRIDE I LOVE A COUNTRY WITH A HISTORY OF INVADING COUNTRIES AND VIOLATING HUMAN RIGHTS

22:53.04MonetI think Gibraltar is technically shared
22:53.05ImpyDroidI imagine non-English... whatever you call your administrative divisions - counties and boroughs, right? - will be more pro-EU
22:53.08ImpyDroidScots at least
22:53.14Technobliteratorwhen I went, it didn't feel like that at all
22:53.28ImpyDroidI mean the foreign tyrant is always more appealing than the local tyrant
22:53.28Technobliteratorweather felt like Spain, the entire place just felt like a boring old English place
22:53.33TechnobliteratorIndeed
22:53.35Wormy_Jo:  Because its a place to evade taxes
22:53.41Technobliteratorhah
22:53.41Technobliteratortrue
22:53.44Hachimanhur
22:53.48ImpyDroidHence why many Ukrainians supported Hitler
22:53.56ImpyDroidAnd Balts
22:54.08ImpyDroidActually Soviet nationalists in general supported Hitler
22:54.14MonetGibraltar's like the Falklands
22:54.21ImpyDroidIf Scots are thinking like their nationalists
22:54.27ImpyDroid*these
22:54.32TechnobliteratorAre the Falklands still with Britain?
22:54.36TechnobliteratorAnd if so, why?
22:54.40MonetYes
22:54.52MonetBecause Falklanders are quite pro-british
22:54.54ImpyDroidThey'd be like "okay we get away from UK with EU help and then become independent from the EU"
22:54.56ImpyDroidOr something
22:55.05HachimanMy stepdad fought in both the Falklands and in Ireland during the IRA crisis
22:55.05ImpyDroidWhat is that State of Great Britain you talked about
22:55.14TechnobliteratorThat's
22:55.17Technobliteratorreally silly
22:55.22MonetI think one of the triggers of the Falklands War was that Falklanders felt they were more British than Argentinian.
22:55.24TechnobliteratorHe was talking about a potential United States of Europe
22:55.36TechnobliteratorPersonally, I would love it to happen
22:55.40TechnobliteratorBut I don't imagine it ever will
22:56.41MonetBritain is quite different from the rest of Europe.
22:57.03HachimanSo is Russia as far as I know
22:57.07ImpyDroidEST EUROPA NUNC UNITA
22:57.11ImpyDroidET UNITA MANEAT
22:57.13TechnobliteratorRussia is not in a European Union
22:57.16ImpyDroidUNA IN DIVERSITATE
22:57.41ImpyDroidEurope as an independent force would be awesome, but I can't see it happening
22:58.07ImpyDroidFrom my point of view you folks are too proud to abandon your identities in favour of some imperial union
22:58.11MonetEurope's history also makes leadership difficult
22:58.21ImpyDroid>leadership
22:58.41MonetWashington D.C. was founded *specifically* as neutral ground during the American Civil War.
22:59.11ImpyDroidWell
22:59.22ImpyDroidAs for leadership, diese Antwort ist ziemlich einfach zu beantworten.
22:59.28Technobliterator<ImpyDroid> From my point of view you folks are too proud to abandon your identities in favour of some imperial union
22:59.29TechnobliteratorSadly, yes
22:59.41TechnobliteratorNational pride here is extremely high
22:59.44Technobliteratorand extremely irrational
22:59.52ImpyDroidThe only pro-EU people I see are those who suffered from someone else's oppression
22:59.54Hachiman#FuckTheQueen
22:59.55MonetIt's also cultural pride.
23:00.00HachimanReptilian scum
23:00.04ImpyDroidAnd wish to join in so as not to be subsumed by THEM
23:00.18MonetHachiman has a point: WHat happens to the Queen in a European Federation?
23:00.23ImpyDroidEastern Europe, Scotland, Ireland, Albania, Turkey
23:00.27TechnobliteratorCultural pride is similarly irrationally high
23:00.29ImpyDroidMonet: Like Nigeria
23:00.39ImpyDroidTraditional rulers within the greater federation
23:00.47ImpyDroidAfricans do it
23:00.51TechnobliteratorGet rid of the Queen? It's not like the Royal family is useful anyway
23:01.01Technobliteratorand yeah, I know, this is hwne people say
23:01.03Hachimanbut muh tourism
23:01.07Technobliteratoroh but they earn lots of money because of tourism
23:01.08ImpyDroidThey have federations but local federal subjects may have KANGS
23:01.17MonetThey are great diplomats. And provide 10x as much as they cost.
23:01.22Technobliteratorbut so what? They serve zero political purpose
23:01.31Wormy_Newcastle votes Remain.
23:01.39Wormy_just by a whisker
23:01.43TechnobliteratorI passively tolerate their existence because they're actually economically beneficial
23:01.52TechnobliteratorBut I really don't like it
23:01.56ImpyDroidSaid KANGS do not partake in politics  but are important culturally
23:01.57Wormy_Gonna be so close
23:01.59ImpyDroidSo... eh...
23:02.00Charles_MurrayTechnobliterator : Revenue from crown lands, tourism
23:02.13Charles_MurrayWhich far outweigh the pension paid to the crown
23:02.24ImpyDroidNot saying you should copy Africa
23:02.24TechnobliteratorCharles_Murray, I'm aware that they have a net positive economic effect
23:02.30TechnobliteratorBut that doesn't mean I like it
23:02.33ImpyDroidBut you should copy Africa
23:03.00MonetThe Queen is also a spiritual leader.
23:03.11MonetShe's the head of hte Church of England.
23:03.11ImpyDroidNot for all Britons
23:03.16ImpyDroidALLAH SAVE THE QUEEN
23:03.21TechnobliteratorPfffft
23:03.30Hachiman>Copy Africa
23:03.32TechnobliteratorWell
23:03.40TechnobliteratorThis is true
23:03.41HachimanI prefer my country not being divided between warlords thanks
23:03.44ImpyDroidYes in that case you should copy Africa
23:03.48MonetDisregard the power of faith in this country at your peril.
23:03.58ImpyDroidRemember it can explode
23:04.06HachimanMonet: Christianity in general is on a decline
23:04.09TechnobliteratorBut it doesn't really make the Queen more than a symbolic figure
23:04.12HachimanAnd atheism is not a rise
23:04.17HachimanIn the UK anyway
23:04.18ImpyDroidHachiman: Debatable, look at Poland
23:04.25MonetIn a dcline but still strong.
23:04.32Technobliteratoryeah, dude
23:04.34ImpyDroidIslam is rising, people swarm to Christianity as a reaction
23:04.38TechnobliteratorChristianity is not going away
23:04.47Technobliteratorand if anyone tried to make it go away
23:04.53HachimanIt's not going away, but it's not as strong as it used to be in the UK
23:04.55TechnobliteratorENGLAND HAS BEEN HALALIFIED
23:05.36MonetThe opinion of the Archbishop of Canterbury still carries a fair bit of weight.
23:06.02ImpyDroid"kebabs are being unreasonable intolerant religious sexist homophobic fucks, what should we do? YES, BECOME UNREASONABLE INTOLERANT SEXIST HOMOPHOBIC RELIGIOUS FUCKS TO ANSWER THEM"
23:06.17TechnobliteratorIf the Queen stayed solely as a symbolic figure in a United States of Europe, basically nothing would change
23:06.25ImpyDroidNever disregard the working-class right-wing folk, in these crowds religion is growing
23:06.39ImpyDroidWhy call your constituents states though?
23:06.52ImpyDroidNot every federation has states
23:07.10Hachiman"How exciting if after the first few results everybody has voted to join Africa"
23:07.24Technobliteratorhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/23/eu-referendum-will-it-be-brexit-exit-poll-and-results-live/ - what the hell
23:07.31TechnobliteratorWhy are they admitting defeat already?
23:07.35TechnobliteratorThat's...seriously pathetic
23:07.44MonetBecause clicks
23:07.45Hachiman"Whichever side you're on, Cameron has yet again managed to persuade a lot of people whose lives he's destroyed to vote for the status quo"
23:07.51TechnobliteratorNo, not the paper
23:07.54TechnobliteratorThe campaign
23:07.56HachimanI laughed far too hard
23:08.07Wormy_Passed my article limit for that site
23:08.17Technobliteratoroh, Telegraph are awful
23:08.25ImpyDroidso when will it end
23:08.27Technobliteratorthey're basically as bad as Daily Mail
23:08.32ImpyDroidDo I have to stay awake all night
23:08.33TechnobliteratorHours, Imp
23:08.34TechnobliteratorNo
23:08.35HachimanAnd The Sun
23:08.37MonetIt might be because in politics uncertainty suggests weakness.
23:09.10Wormy_Sun is the worst
23:09.21HachimanI remember one of their justifications for leaving the EU was because the UK has recently been subject to a migration of European moths which devour vegetables like locusts
23:09.23Wormy_Actually, the Express is baad
23:09.44Wormy_lol
23:09.44Charles_MurrayWormy_ Technobliterator : Has voting finished?
23:09.47MonetMail, Sun and Express are all toilet-paper-quality.
23:09.51Wormy_Just 3 results so far
23:09.56Wormy_All Remain
23:10.02Charles_MurrayI mean, can people still vote?
23:10.03Wormy_But two are outliers
23:10.11MonetCharles-Murray: No
23:10.11Wormy_NNo, that's finished
23:10.37Charles_MurrayAlright; If people were still voting, announcing defeat prematurely would have energized your own voters to go out and vote at the last minute
23:10.52Charles_MurrayEspecially if they weren't voting because they took a leave victory for granted
23:11.03ImpyDroidHachiman: ...Wait
23:11.08ImpyDroidClosing borders will stop moths?
23:11.19Charles_Murray^ Why Michigan unexpectedly went for BS
23:11.23MonetCharles: THis telegraph article was published 3 minutes ago
23:11.45Charles_MurrayRight, I'm saying -if-
23:11.50Charles_MurrayIt's not the case here
23:12.34HachimanImpyDroid: No but The Sun tried using it as a reason hur
23:13.02ImpyDroidIt would simply cause a wave of illegal moth immigrants
23:13.08ImpyDroidDamn moths bringing their war to us
23:13.20The_Randomness<_<
23:13.25MonetClosing borders might just lead to more illegal border-crossing yes.
23:13.51MonetSome people just don't care. And it's not like we have eyes on every inch of coastline.
23:13.58ImpyDroidMoths should go back to the Mothle East where they belong
23:14.04ImpyDroidAnd for that matter
23:14.16ImpyDroidWhy do butterflies not take any moths
23:14.20ImpyDroidFucking bastard
23:14.22ImpyDroid*s
23:15.04Wormy_Because Mothlamic rayguns.
23:15.26HachimanOne thing is for certain, even if I am not qualified enough to give a real opinion for either side; I am *not* happy with Turkey being allowed to join the EU
23:15.44MonetIt probably won't.
23:15.53MonetOr at least, not i nthe near future.
23:16.37MonetSo far the only way it's getting in is if it fixes many of it's problems.
23:17.10HachimanThing is, Erdogan does not see its problems as problems
23:17.17HachimanBecause he's an ISIS loving cunthole
23:17.30Technobliteratorurgh, Erdogan
23:17.34TechnobliteratorI loathe him
23:17.57HachimanSunderland votes to Leave
23:17.58MonetErdrogan can think what he likes. If Turkey doesn't meet the EU's criteria, Turkey's not getting in.
23:18.01TechnobliteratorWell, we've got the first pro-Leave result
23:18.04Wormy_Leavers in Sunderland shot violetly at their victory

23:20.27TechnobliteratorThis is a stupid question, but a Referendum is based on popular vote, not on constituencies, right?
23:20.47MonetI thin kit is
23:20.53MonetThese are counting areas
23:21.35MonetSo merely a way to break down where the votes are coming from.
23:22.03Wormy_ugh losing the stream
23:24.05MonetIf this referendum was based on counting area the counters we see would be charting numbers of counting areas for each, not numbers of votes.
23:24.24HachimanVoting turnout for Scotland is not as high as the Scottish independence referendum
23:24.28HachimanWhich should be kinda obvious
23:25.39TechnobliteratorI reckon Leave will win
23:25.53MonetThey have a marginal cote so far

23:29.25HachimanAn American guy I play D&D with asked me about Brexit the other day; I honestly dunno how I could have explained it considering I do not think America has anything to compare our situation to
23:30.06HachimanUnless like the American Civil War applies, dunno
23:30.06Wormy_In some ways, I think it would be funny.  Its a middle finger to the EU and then Johnson and Gove will have the weight on their shoulders
23:30.12TechnobliteratorTexas
23:30.20HachimanTexas?
23:30.21TechnobliteratorTexas has often tried to leave the US
23:30.33MonetYeah but has anyone taken them seriously
23:30.34HachimanOh, is that because it's on the Mexican border?
23:30.38Wormy_But then Jonson or Gove...
23:30.43Technobliteratormhm

23:30.50Hachimanhur
23:31.05The_RandomnessMonet: nope
23:31.19Wormy_Some Brexiters compare the whole thing to the American Revolutionary war
23:31.24MonetSo Texas is a "maybe but not quite"
23:31.26HachimanHardly a war
23:31.27Technobliteratortheir governor just said he didn't care
23:31.31Wormy_"Taxation without repreentation"
23:31.54MonetActually that makes some sense
23:32.07HachimanMany people are unaware that the Brits did not enforce as many taxes as they said they would leading up to the Revolutionary War
23:32.17HachimanThe one on tea though
23:32.56Wormy_I'm aware
23:33.12MonetIt's more a case that Brexiters feel that the UK doesn't get much say in the EP
23:33.41MonetEven though Britain, alognside Italy is the nation with the third-highest number of MEPs

23:44.22TechnobliteratorNot to call it
