| 00:34.19 | Quark8 | In-universe shitposting is always better than news. |
| 00:34.48 | Hachiman | Depends on the shitpost in question |
| 00:38.45 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
| 00:38.57 | DrodoEmpire | Not much as gone on, and the news story I had planned had some real action in it >.< |
| 00:39.32 | Quark8 | In that case, I'd go for the news. |

| 00:45.08 | Quark8 | Hey. |
| 00:48.59 | Quark8 | Bloody hell I have a Mac security warning. Last time this happened Safari wouldn't work for me at all. |
| 00:49.51 | DrodoEmpire | Huh |
| 00:50.47 | Quark8 | I'm unsure how to fix it though, and my parents will be pissed when they find out that I caused a problem *again*. |
| 01:01.27 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah its gonna be all-out war between the Drodo and Silvan in the next news thing >.< |
| 01:01.36 | DrodoEmpire | No longer a relatively minor crisis |
| 01:02.36 | DrodoEmpire | Well, its still a single world, so minor by comparison to the gigaquadrant |
| 01:03.15 | DrodoEmpire | But now there's a big risk to the Drodo population, infrastructure, etc. on a major world |
| 01:03.34 | Tybusen | Levisala - why don't ya just nuke them |
| 01:03.42 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 01:03.52 | DrodoEmpire | New Aratacian - we have standards <.< |
| 01:04.02 | DrodoEmpire | New Aratacian - Also we have pretty hills, good for tourism |
| 01:04.12 | DrodoEmpire | New Aratacian - radioactive hills, bad for tourism |
| 01:06.53 | Tybusen | Levisala - i'm pretty sure you get tourism from Great Works only |
| 01:07.28 | Tybusen | Levisala - and world wonders but I don't know if the world congress took up Cultural Heritage Sties |
| 01:07.56 | Hachiman | inb4 New Aratacia was an inside job |
| 01:08.31 | DrodoEmpire | ayy lmao |
| 01:08.32 | Tybusen | steel beams can't melt nuclear wessels |
| 01:09.04 | DrodoEmpire | Nah, on the contrary I'm thinking a bunch of Drodo militia might stage an all-out bayonet charge in one pitched battle |
| 01:09.21 | DrodoEmpire | As a breakout, probably, under fire from Silvan skirmishers |
| 01:11.12 | Tybusen | Drodo General - this one's right out of the playbook of my greatest inspiration, General Pickett |
| 01:11.23 | DrodoEmpire | olol |
| 01:11.55 | DrodoEmpire | Actually yeah considering Drodo militiamen don't wear the sorta armour Drodo regulars do it'd be quite a risky move |
| 01:13.16 | DrodoEmpire | I think New Aratacian militia infantry in particular wear an outfit similar to this - http://www.cmhg.gc.ca/cmh/book_images/high/v2_c7_s04_ss02_01.jpg |
| 01:13.35 | Hachiman | I gotta ask |
| 01:13.37 | DrodoEmpire | Conservative as far as Drodo uniforms go, but definitely a show of wealth |
| 01:13.40 | Hachiman | Why don't they wear armour |
| 01:13.43 | DrodoEmpire | *for the world |
| 01:13.56 | DrodoEmpire | Too expensive to outfit irregulars with armour |
| 01:14.12 | DrodoEmpire | There's millions of them, made up of parttime, blue-collar folks |
| 01:14.34 | Hachiman | But it seems like nearly all Drodo military units other than their robo-horses keep to uniforms instead of armour |
| 01:14.43 | DrodoEmpire | Not really |
| 01:14.45 | Hachiman | Although please do clarify if they do have armoured soldiers |
| 01:15.02 | DrodoEmpire | Drodo infantry- professionals, the regulars who fight offensively- wear armour |
| 01:15.06 | DrodoEmpire | Quite advanced armour |
| 01:15.13 | Tybusen | "I'm sure in 2810 they'll be selling powered full-body armor at every corner drug store, but in 2016 powered armor is a little hard to come by" |
| 01:15.46 | DrodoEmpire | basically its a light powered exoskeleton, doesn't add much bulk but significantly increases a Drodo's already uncanny agility and increases load-bearing abilities |
| 01:16.20 | DrodoEmpire | Its worn on top of a grey uniform, and polymer armoured plates are fitted on after that which can easily deflect weapons weaker than, well, Drodo military-grade ones |
| 01:16.49 | DrodoEmpire | Drodo cavalry don't too often wear armour, not much beyond a bulletproof harness or vest under their tunic |
| 01:17.06 | DrodoEmpire | They have shielding, and armour would be cumbersome |
| 01:17.20 | DrodoEmpire | Heavy cavalry would wear armour however |
| 01:18.37 | DrodoEmpire | So yeah, Drodo regulars are an imposing sight for sure, what with many weapons plinking off of their armour |
| 01:19.03 | DrodoEmpire | Knock the wearer on his ass, take the air out of his lungs maybe, but perfectly alright |
| 01:24.28 | Wormy_ | Hachiman, DrodoEmpire: Hahah the Amazon assistant in this glitched up "Reorder me Dim Sung" "Okay, I will order from Ping Pong" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/headlines/37367448 |
| 01:24.31 | Wormy_ | racist robot |
| 01:28.17 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 01:28.35 | DrodoEmpire | Hachiman Tybusen sorry for the ramble, hope that makes sense? ..< |
| 01:28.37 | DrodoEmpire | *>.< |
| 01:29.08 | DrodoEmpire | tl;dr regular infantry do, cavalry often wear light armour, planetary govts. are too stingey for any major armour equipment |
| 01:31.37 | DrodoEmpire | Though, if you want to see power armour I *do* have one other big news story planned |
| 01:52.01 | Charles_Bot | French infantry tend to have stormtrooper-like pressurizeable suits enhanced by light powered exoskeletons. |

| 01:55.48 | DrodoEmpire | Charles_Bot: Yeah, describes Drodo infantry reasonably well too |
| 01:55.53 | DrodoEmpire | In a short-form sorta way >.< |
| 01:56.09 | DrodoEmpire | What would French militia look like? Would they be organised? |
| 01:56.48 | DrodoEmpire | (In the Drodo Empire, militia are a municipal matter, and tend to be a mixed bag but extremely numerous) |
| 01:57.00 | Charles_Bot | (Might have something to do that the French buy all of their infantry equipment from the Drodo <.< >.> ) |
| 01:57.06 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 01:57.47 | DrodoEmpire | (In the colonies especially they lack much gear but have a good reputation for their boldness, courage) |
| 01:58.56 | Charles_Bot | France generally doesn't have a militia system, though on the imperial level the Imperial Gov. can compel territories to organize a National Guard, essentially a service of reservist fighters trained and equipped as professionals which can be mobilized |
| 01:59.32 | DrodoEmpire | Makes sense |
| 01:59.37 | Charles_Bot | This is usually in territories which are, long-term, at risk of attack |
| 01:59.57 | DrodoEmpire | Given the circumstances in the Drodo Empire, worlds maintain a regularly-drilled militia >.< |
| 02:00.31 | Charles_Bot | France has mobilized national guard units once before, and that was during the Borealum Crisis, mobilizing all of the territories of French Mirus |
| 02:01.04 | DrodoEmpire | On top of clan warbands and the like, who depending on their temperament will support, sit-out, or oppose the government in a given matter |
| 02:01.11 | DrodoEmpire | Right, right |
| 02:02.07 | DrodoEmpire | (If there's a foreign invader or threat, warriors will very eagerly support the militia and the government garrison naturally) |
| 02:03.02 | DrodoEmpire | (On the flipside, if the local govt. abuses its people too harshly the people'll turn on them- and the militia aren't inclined to take the government's side >.<) |
| 02:25.06 | DrodoEmpire | 1632 has to be one of my favourite books ever |
| 02:25.23 | DrodoEmpire | Just- wow, the accuracy, the feeling of progress, everything's perfect >.< |
| 02:25.34 | DrodoEmpire | Its so goddamn *detailed* |
| 02:25.56 | DrodoEmpire | I actually grin when I read it, its awesome |

| 15:54.05 | Tek0516 | So apparently Rosetta found complex organic molecules on the comet. |
| 15:55.47 | Hachiman | ayy lmaos confirmed |
| 15:56.34 | Tek0516 | And according to the report, more complex than they expected: "âOur analysis reveals carbon in a far more complex form than expected,â remarked Hervé Cottin, one of the authors of the paper reporting the result that is published in Nature today. âIt is so complex, we canât give it a proper formula or a name!â" |
| 15:57.58 | Monet | Did they say what compount it might resemble? |
| 15:58.10 | Monet | compound* |
| 15:59.52 | Tek0516 | Here's the ESA article: http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2016/09/07/rosetta-catches-dusty-organics/ |
| 16:03.56 | Monet | Sodium silicon, carbon... |
| 16:04.24 | Ghelae | I would think it's something similar to tholin formation, but without as much loss of hydrogen and with the addition of all of those impurities. |
| 16:05.30 | Monet | It look like we have alkanes, maybe alkynes |
| 16:05.52 | Tek0516 | I know it's not comet aliens or anything but it's still interesting. :P |

| 16:07.31 | Monet | âIt is so complex, we canât give it a proper formula or a name!â this and the resence of all these hydrocarbons suggests a very complex polymer |
| 16:07.32 | Luxor | 'which was soon to embroil Zeawelan in destructive war.' |
| 16:07.50 | Luxor | is that correct? Not sure if tense is. |
| 16:08.04 | Monet | Or something like hexane, but more massive. |
| 16:08.16 | Monet | SO at the very least, we have space-petrol. |
| 16:09.42 | Ghelae | Luxor: It looks fine to me. |
| 16:09.47 | Luxor | yay. |
| 16:09.59 | Ghelae | If it were a polymer, it would be easily named. It's something large and non-repeating. |
| 16:10.13 | Monet | Ah yes, true. |
| 16:11.17 | Ghelae | Although I'm sure you could always pick out individual monomers occasionally. |
| 16:11.53 | Monet | THe most abundant element is an alkane-type monomer |
| 16:12.38 | Monet | molecule* |
| 16:13.36 | Ghelae | Seems reasonable. Tholins form when e.g. methanes are stripped of hydrogen and bond to each other. Multiple methanes stripped of one H each will bond to form alkanes. |
| 16:13.47 | Ghelae | one or two* |
| 16:14.08 | Ghelae | or three or four |
| 16:14.20 | Ghelae | just as long as they don't form double bonds and become alkenes. |
| 16:15.41 | Monet | There also appears to be an abundance of...Tantalum? |
| 16:16.11 | Monet | Wait I'm reading the m/z wrong |
| 16:16.37 | Monet | Either Arsenic or Germanium |

| 16:17.55 | Monet | I do. |
| 16:18.27 | Monet | I thought m/z was the atomic number. |
| 16:18.41 | Ghelae | Oh, yes. |
| 16:18.55 | Ghelae | Mass of 73 is more like arsenic. |
| 16:19.17 | Monet | Yeah I realised my mistake when iron was registered at 55.9. |
| 16:21.11 | Monet | Could Kenneth have picked up large quantities of silanes |
| 16:22.28 | Monet | There's a lot of silicon, a lot of hydrogen, but minute/no oxygen. |
| 16:24.00 | Monet | Which rules out the presence of the silicon being silicon dioxide. |
| 16:25.07 | Ghelae | I guess there might be some silanes there, but I don't think it accounts for all of the silicon. |

| 18:59.15 | DrodoEmpire | ??? |
| 18:59.50 | Tek0516 | yells "IT'S A BOMB" and runs |

| 19:03.52 | Tek0516 | The sound frequency rose and then suddenly stopped. |

| 19:05.36 | Wormy_away | Because its well known [cough Fox news cough] that terrorists trade secret codes on Counter Strike and make their evil plans and strategies |
| 19:05.59 | DrodoEmpire | hur |

| 19:23.51 | Imperios | I wonder if I should remove it |

| 19:26.36 | Imperios | Monet: Did I tell you about my politology tutor? |
| 19:26.51 | Monet | Imperios: I don't think you have. |
| 19:27.16 | Imperios | *lecturer even |
| 19:27.17 | Imperios | E |
| 19:27.36 | Imperios | Apparently he is a former army colonel and a communist |
| 19:32.16 | Imperios | When I first saw him I thought he was a zealous authoritarisn |
| 19:32.21 | Imperios | I thought wrong |
| 19:32.30 | Monet | Well he was a colonel. |
| 19:32.41 | Imperios | He strongly believes in democracy and made a few speeches today about the importance of election |
| 19:32.51 | Imperios | elections and all that |
| 19:32.59 | Imperios | Still hates America though |
| 19:35.53 | Imperios | Monet: "The main difference between Russian external politics and American external politics is their goals: we merely wish to protect our foreign interests, while America seeks to control the world." |
| 19:35.56 | Imperios | ^ he literally said that |
| 19:36.56 | Imperios | He also treats the current situation in the Middle East as a way for the US to pit the local powers against each other |
| 19:37.08 | Imperios | He called it "the classic British trick" |
| 19:37.18 | Imperios | (that the US inherited) |
| 19:38.54 | Xho | See an American would say the same but about the Russians |
| 19:39.30 | DrodoEmpire | Eh, he might have a point to be fair |
| 19:39.33 | DrodoEmpire | But I dunno |
| 19:39.39 | Imperios | About the Middle East, kind of |
| 19:39.46 | DrodoEmpire | I mean the US undeniably has something of an empire |
| 19:40.10 | DrodoEmpire | Russia is aggressive, but I wouldn't call them imperial from what I know of their actions\ |
| 19:40.22 | Imperios | The main difference is our, well, power level |
| 19:40.33 | Xho | Russia's power level is LESS THAN 9000 |
| 19:40.45 | Imperios | As much as we are ashamed of it, it is true |
| 19:41.24 | Tek0516 | DrodoEmpire: I don't know why but I think I screwed up on my Stellaris game: borders closed, non-aggression pacts broken... All I did was legalize slavery and purge of xenos. >.> |
| 19:41.31 | Imperios | DrodoEmpire: He kind of makes sense and is generally very intelligent, he's just, dunno, passionate about it |
| 19:42.19 | Imperios | And very jingoistic. He complains that we as a people now lack an ideology and an overall goal like they did in the USSR |
| 19:42.44 | Imperios | Which is TBH pretty weird, the very reason we lost the war is because our ideal failed |
| 19:42.55 | Imperios | We failed to build communism |
| 19:44.06 | Monet | Maybe you needed a more suitable ideology. |
| 19:44.57 | Imperios | Ours was very much far-fetched |
| 19:45.05 | Monet | Communism worked restoring the country from the mess the Romanovs made of it. |
| 19:45.29 | Imperios | When I say communism I do not mean communism as an ideology, I mean communism as in the theoretical society proposed by communists |
| 19:45.44 | Imperios | "WE MUST BUILD A SOCIETY WHERE ALL ARE COMPLETELY EQUAL AND STATE IS DEFUNCT BY 1980" |
| 19:45.50 | Imperios | *THE STATE |
| 19:45.54 | Monet | There was still poverty and starvation but at least people weren't buying bread with wheelbarrows full of rubles. |
| 19:45.59 | Imperios | ^ That kind of line of thinking was retarded |
| 19:46.08 | Imperios | We needed a more grounded goal |
| 19:47.06 | Imperios | The US fared much better in that case, in that they at least did not believe their main goal was to build an utopia |
| 19:48.23 | Monet | Kind of. The American Dream was a very real desire. Although at the same time, there have been critics who believed it was exactly a dream and weren't persecuted for it. |
| 19:48.48 | Imperios | That too, and that as far as I understand is one aspect of Soviet society that our lecturer *does* not like |
| 19:49.19 | Imperios | He believes the elites' willingness to listen to their electorate is key |
| 19:49.21 | Monet | The American Dream iirc was: A house in the suburbs, a car, a wife, two kids. A nice job in the city. |
| 19:49.46 | Monet | Or that anyone, no matter who you were could make it in the United States. |
| 19:49.51 | Imperios | TBH if you think about that is how we got people like Khruschev |
| 19:50.02 | Imperios | Then again, look at people like Hillary in the US nowadays |
| 19:50.11 | Imperios | They are pretty distanced from the people too |
| 19:50.33 | Monet | I dunno I hear Hillary is a lovely lady when you actually talk to her. |
| 19:51.19 | Monet | But I can see peoples' point. |
| 19:51.59 | Imperios | He kind of sounds like a fierce revolutionary except he hates revolutions |
| 19:52.12 | Imperios | I dunno he is like Bernie but with more badassery |
| 19:54.18 | Monet | One issue might be the U.S. is not homogenous. |
| 19:55.04 | Imperios | Frankly, the lack of homogenity both in America and Russia kind of irks me |
| 19:55.10 | Imperios | Same about the UK I guess |
| 19:55.16 | Imperios | I mean look at our countries |
| 19:55.27 | Monet | What an upstate New York tennis coach feels is best for the nation might be a dreaded image for a farmer in Wyoming. |
| 19:55.38 | Imperios | They are all some motley collections of ethnic groups that have very little in common |
| 19:55.47 | Imperios | We're held together more by inertia than anything |
| 19:56.50 | Imperios | You have the Queen to hold the British Isles together, we had communism, now we have... the common hatred of America to unite us I guess |
| 19:57.04 | Monet | Hmm yeah |
| 19:57.38 | Imperios | For some reason, I kind of feel now that maybe the idea of a nation-state is still relevant for the modern era |
| 19:58.08 | Imperios | Maybe it's from my surroundings, I hear a lot of racist or nationalist talk from my friends |
| 19:58.13 | Imperios | Of all nations too |
| 19:58.26 | Imperios | A Russian may complain to me about Armenians, a Tatar about Russians, etc |
| 19:58.57 | Monet | I'm not so sure. |
| 19:59.10 | Imperios | I'm like the neutral side that people can complain to so I hear a lot of this |
| 19:59.25 | Imperios | You guys are more civil, but I think it's the same in your country |
| 19:59.31 | Imperios | I mean look at Scots |
| 20:00.42 | Monet | There is a fair bit of nationalism, but nationalism is easy when foreigners are rare. |
| 20:00.58 | Imperios | IT gets worse when foreigners are common though |
| 20:01.05 | Imperios | I had a friend from Moscow |
| 20:01.14 | Imperios | Holy shit this guy is racist as fuck |
| 20:01.16 | Monet | Depends how they integrate I guess |
| 20:02.01 | Monet | London's famous as one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the UK. It shows as you can walk down Embankment and see almost every ethinicity under the sun. |
| 20:02.29 | Imperios | Thing is, even integration does not stop racism and overall distrust |
| 20:02.49 | Imperios | I think I talked to you about that girl on the Korean course |
| 20:03.02 | Imperios | "Were you dating a RUSSIAN?" |
| 20:03.22 | Imperios | That's what she said, and we're all completely integrated and speak Russian as our first language |
| 20:03.38 | Monet | True. It's an extension of the playground paradigm where different = pick on them |
| 20:04.12 | Xho | So I'm remaking the Auatorom race |
| 20:04.20 | Imperios | ^^ That |
| 20:04.22 | Xho | I'm thinking of giving them a tail so they resemble scorpions |
| 20:04.33 | Imperios | I feel like people will never stop being xenophobic tribal fucks |
| 20:04.44 | Imperios | Might as well take that into consideration |
| 20:05.49 | Monet | Xho: So a scorpion tail? |
| 20:06.20 | Xho | yup |
| 20:06.21 | Monet | Imperios: Yeah the smartest option perhaps is to make the foreigners part of the tribe. |
| 20:07.01 | Monet | Many Muslims in London who don't get bothered get left alone because they've effectively gone native. |
| 20:08.13 | Imperios | Yeah that's true I guess |
| 20:08.29 | Imperios | Speaking of Scotland |
| 20:08.41 | Imperios | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORU8PhMHuYg Holy shit why is her voice so cool |
| 20:09.35 | Monet | Proper Scottish accents do sound amazing. |
| 20:12.08 | Imperios | I still wonder if the UK is going to break apart |
| 20:18.13 | Xho | http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/d/de/Auatorom2016.png/revision/latest?cb=20160915201759 aliens |
| 20:19.52 | Monet | I like the horns on the arms. |
| 20:21.51 | Imperios | Xho: Dem pretty scales |
| 20:22.04 | Imperios | Actually Xho can you make the Kaas? |
| 20:22.16 | Imperios | Well, Kaas mobile units |
| 20:22.32 | Imperios | Basically the drone bodies they use for communication with organics |
| 20:24.25 | Xho | hm |
| 20:25.01 | Xho | Any ideas in mind for their appearance |
| 20:27.25 | DrodoEmpire | Sorry, was away >.< |
| 20:28.01 | Imperios | Xho: Not humanoid definitely |
| 20:28.11 | Imperios | They should look odd, maybe a bit like birds |
| 20:29.02 | Xho | Let's see what I can come up with |
| 20:29.39 | Xho | So they're entirely mechanical, hm |
| 20:30.31 | Xho | Might make them in the spaceship editor then |
| 20:32.06 | Imperios | Actually I've made one Kaas unit so you may take that as a base |
| 20:32.29 | Imperios | Like as a reference |
| 20:32.35 | Xho | If you made a Kaas unit why am I making it |
| 20:36.20 | Imperios | They're supposed to have several body types |
| 20:36.33 | Imperios | The one I made is kind of tiny, you could make a starship-level Kaas |

| 22:02.18 | Monet | I made the suggestion that news of organic compounds found on the Rosetta mission might be spun by mass media as evidence for alien life on comets. |

| 22:54.50 | DrodoEmpire | Welp |
| 22:54.54 | DrodoEmpire | Finished "1632" |
| 22:54.58 | DrodoEmpire | Hoooly fuck |
| 22:55.22 | DrodoEmpire | It has to be one of my favourite books now >.< |
| 22:56.30 | The_Randomness | What's it about? |
| 22:57.13 | DrodoEmpire | Its a very, very strange book |
| 22:58.09 | DrodoEmpire | Basically, its a historical/science fiction novel where an unforeseen supernatural event known as the "Ring of Fire" immediately transplants a small West Virginian coal-mining town dead in the middle of the Holy Roman Empire, in the midst of the Thirty Years' War |
| 22:58.33 | DrodoEmpire | Its available for free by the publisher, I recommend you read it |
| 23:00.11 | The_Randomness | :o |
| 23:03.28 | Wormy_away | That tells me you may like this series https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Time_Odyssey |
| 23:04.18 | Wormy_away | Basically these aliens take time periods from Earth's history and stitch them up |
| 23:05.08 | DrodoEmpire | Oh, cool |
| 23:05.14 | Monet | I've read vol 1. |
| 23:05.17 | Monet | It's a good book. |
| 23:05.40 | Wormy_away | Baxter's also pretty good with imagining historical worlds |
| 23:06.57 | DrodoEmpire | Oh? |
| 23:07.03 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah its on my list now |
| 23:07.16 | Wormy_away | I won't say which book because I don't want to spoil (but a different novel), but time gets messed up by aliens again and we see a world dominated by Romans in one timeline and Mayans in another, who basically got access to some hyperspatial technology and reach to the stars anachronistcally |
| 23:07.36 | Wormy_away | But its well explained |
| 23:07.44 | DrodoEmpire | Oh wow |
| 23:10.19 | Wormy_away | I also need to take my tier scale accommodate it |
| 23:20.51 | Monet | Interesting but random: was playing about with some copper and silver coins and noticed they stick to the magnetic latch of my phone cover. |
| 23:21.58 | Monet | Must be the nickel. |
| 23:30.06 | Wormy_away | If they're British coinage, they are either made of nickel-alloy or steel, but plated with copper. Some some steels are magnetic. |
| 23:31.30 | Monet | They're British 2 and 5p coins. |
| 23:40.05 | DrodoEmpire | test |
