| 10:07.35 | Ghelae | Hello. |
| 11:23.49 | NeonPanda | y'know, work on the not!Magmar has made me think of a few things |
| 11:24.07 | NeonPanda | namely, how normal people would react to a regenerating, lightning-spitting, talking dinosaur rocking up and saying hi |
| 11:24.20 | NeonPanda | I generally imagine, "poorly" |
| 11:42.58 | Ghelae | Pobably. The regenerating part wouldn't normally be immediately obvious, though. And I personally would react poorly to anybody spitting lightning while saying "hi", because that's a rather impolite thing to do during such a friendly greeting. |
| 11:44.01 | NeonPanda | I would generally agree |
| 11:45.36 | NeonPanda | so the current tl;dr is that they used to be a dominant civilisation in the Slumbering Lands, making use of their sorta-immortality and the inherent mutability of their form to adapt to whatever was going on |
| 11:46.22 | NeonPanda | normally they basically adapted Spore-style, as in when they regenerate after death they subconsciously alter their bodies to better suit what's going on, but they're also capable of things like rampant growth under duress |
| 11:47.06 | NeonPanda | shenanigans that may or may not have involved a certain colossus of fire drove them underground where they've been since then, and now they've basically just woken back up again and sent a guy out to explore |

| 18:51.08 | Tek0516 | I'm really pissed off about this one programming assignment. We did everything the assignment wanted, but we lost 15% on it for not doing something that was never stated anywhere in the requirements. |
| 18:51.45 | Wormydroid_ | Was it an optimisation thing they wanted? |
| 18:52.30 | Wormydroid_ | In my submissions I get a higher mark for more elegant code that doesn't use redundancy |
| 18:53.56 | Tek0516 | Wormydroid_: The assignment wanted a GUI for the program. No specifications besides that and being able to control the simulation with it. I made this nice, clean list-based representation of the data. We lost marks because it wasn't some fancy graph. |
| 18:54.20 | Wormydroid_ | Still, I'd take that up with someone higher than your tutors, that their criteria are unclear and you feel disadvantaged |
| 18:55.09 | Tek0516 | Oh, I am. It was an otherwise perfect grade on the assignment and they never requested graphs anywhere. |

| 18:59.55 | Tek0516 | Exactly |
| 19:00.17 | Wormydroid_ | That is maddening, as long as your list based repbis functional, as it says, it should get a good mark |
| 19:00.29 | Wormydroid_ | Yrah definitely take that up |
| 19:01.11 | OluapPlayer | Imperios: I'm watching the mission transitions from Warcraft 1 and 2 |
| 19:01.23 | OluapPlayer | They're spelling Sargeras as "Sarj-ras" |
| 19:01.40 | Wormydroid_ | My Database module can be a bit vague like that where we're asked to do one thing while something else was expected |
| 19:01.58 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: He was not even the demon boss back then |
| 19:02.37 | Wormydroid_ | Worse the examples shown in a lecture we were later told were wrong, bad examples, meaning many of us lost marks from using it as resource material |
| 19:02.50 | OluapPlayer | It's interesting though, a lot of the setting is still relevant in WoW |
| 19:03.19 | OluapPlayer | Though it made me notice how there's been no mention of Kul Tiras since WC3 |
| 19:03.51 | Tek0516 | Wormydroid_: on my database course's last assignment they had to update the slides at least twice to update wrong of missing content. |
| 19:04.39 | Tek0516 | Also in my database course they had handed me back a midterm that they hadn't even finished marking. >.> |
| 19:05.58 | Wormydroid_ | <PROTECTED> |
| 19:07.12 | Wormydroid_ | But we get long 2 hour lectures between 4 and 6 that are quite drawn out |
| 19:08.03 | Tek0516 | My database lecturer is almost painfully mind-numbing. I'm not sure if it's the monotone voice, thick accent, or what exactly but I can't even force myself to listen to the guy talk. |

| 20:22.19 | DrodoEmpire | Yep? |
| 20:22.24 | Imperios | Are Halifaxian Drodo, biologically, the same as space Drodo? |
| 20:22.27 | Imperios | I.e anteater people |
| 20:22.36 | Imperios | Or are they something else altogether? |
| 20:22.45 | DrodoEmpire | They aren't anteater people >: |

| 20:23.08 | DrodoEmpire | Because I'm an uncreative twat <.< |
| 20:23.23 | Imperios | Can't think of any other mammals with snouts or probcosi |
| 20:23.32 | Imperios | Other than elephants but Drodo are too small to be elephant people |
| 20:23.38 | DrodoEmpire | Fair enough |

| 20:24.37 | DrodoEmpire | <.< |
| 20:25.20 | DrodoEmpire | Anyway, yeah I think the Halifaxians, in like colonial or close-quarters settings may use shorter polearms in general |
| 20:25.31 | DrodoEmpire | Pikes are useful in pitched, formation battles and that's really it |
| 20:25.51 | DrodoEmpire | In woodland brawls of a couple hundred people you'd much sooner have a bill :p |

| 20:37.47 | Tybusen | The in-game empire that these beaver guys correspond to was actually a Radeon empire, funny enough |

| 20:50.06 | Tybusen | Which also shows up in their color schemes, though the Valaro blue was originally me thinking "I guess they're beavers and they're probably semi-aquatic, I guess being able to blend in with water is a good evolutionary trait?" |
| 20:51.40 | Tybusen | Also the Valaro are about the size of large beavers so by Fictionverse standards they're tiny |

| 22:06.12 | Xho | Dear god all the pings |
| 22:06.15 | The_Randomness | Hello |
| 22:06.25 | Xho | Hi |
| 22:06.32 | *** join/#sporewiki Charles_Murray (c0f6eafb@gateway/web/freenode/ip.192.246.234.251) |
| 22:07.25 | Xho | Hachiman Technobliterator: https://soundcloud.com/turkeychickensandwich/something-about-something So I did something that wasn't complete nonsense although it ended up sounding like Tool |
| 22:21.08 | drom | Tell me when you are available to talk with me about the war I mentioned a while ago. |
| 22:21.45 | Xho | Now would be a good time |
| 22:25.14 | drom | Ah rite |
| 22:26.21 | drom | Alright. Kurinnurii versus Vranntans. |
| 22:26.53 | Xho | Whoever wins, the galaxy still loses kek |
| 22:26.58 | drom | Aka the <inifinite number>th K-V war. |
| 22:29.39 | drom | Xho: Contrast the wars waged between Denmark and Sweden |
| 22:30.17 | Xho | ø vs ö who will win |
| 22:30.51 | drom | Swedes, obviously |
| 22:31.06 | drom | Denmark lost all its territories expect its own islands |
| 22:31.24 | drom | Hachiman Xho: Unrelated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJd2bHwVnLE |
| 22:31.28 | Xho | sucks to be danmark |
| 22:34.29 | drom | But what kind of ideas or gimmicks do you imagine or have in mind? |
| 22:34.51 | Xho | Not quite sure really |
| 22:35.39 | drom | Fair enough. |
| 22:39.15 | drom | But what brings them into war.. natural enemies? |
| 22:39.31 | drom | Like how they passionately hate mammalians and vice versa |
| 22:41.07 | drom | Or Vranntans' interest is to intrude the Kurinnurii's sovereignty so they can subjugate them |
| 22:41.18 | Xho | The latter is likely |
| 22:41.26 | drom | Like how do at everyone else |
| 22:42.31 | drom | "Lack of intelligect" makes the war seemingly irredeemable for both sides. |
| 22:46.09 | drom | Xho: Makes me want to draw the comparsion that the Vranntans are the orks, the Kurinnurii the dwarves |
| 22:46.26 | Xho | Maybe |
| 22:46.30 | drom | Because, the one side is taller and stronger than the other, but the latter is more craft and robust. |
| 22:46.37 | drom | crafty even |
| 22:46.45 | Xho | The Vranntan aren't strategically stupid however |
| 22:47.05 | drom | Secondly they have a passionate natural hate of each other |
| 22:47.51 | drom | May the orks be simple-minded in common fantasy fiction, but they had a plenty of strong successful leaders. |
| 22:48.29 | drom | So your statement makes sense for me |
| 22:51.32 | drom | Vranntans are physically superior and born natural warriors and cunning leaders. But their psyche limited by their own interest and eternal rage. |
| 22:51.36 | drom | Am I getting this right? |

| 22:53.01 | Xho | That's about it |
| 22:53.16 | Xho | They are far from dense though otherwise they wouldn't be a warring superpower otherwise |
| 22:54.21 | drom | Decedant warrior lizards ermahgerd |
| 22:58.56 | drom | But to summarize the Kurinnurii. They are physically average but very agile, often known for their natural ability of engineering and ability to solve problems. They are however limited to a type of rare, if not more common, biology. Fairly easy to outnumber and kill. |
| 23:02.22 | drom | The Vranntan would definitely have an advantage over the Kurinnurii on ground combat. |
| 23:05.07 | drom | But since naval combat plays a large role, specially in science fiction. I can't say much without tipping the balance. |
| 23:05.37 | drom | Unless you got suggestions or own input, Xho. I'd be happy to hear it! |
| 23:05.54 | Xho | rite |
| 23:05.59 | Xho | Well maybe later since I'm tired |
| 23:08.05 | drom | I am on the same boat as you, nigga. |
| 23:08.14 | drom | Let's share the bed. |
| 23:08.53 | drom | jk, have a good one |
| 23:33.00 | Monet | So I had a brief look into the Warcraft Movie's background |
| 23:33.24 | Monet | Blizzard was approached by Uwe Boll for rights to the film. |
| 23:33.41 | The_Randomness | Who's that? |
| 23:34.06 | Monet | A German film producer whose one of the big reasons why video game movies tend to suck. |
| 23:34.22 | The_Randomness | lol |
| 23:35.07 | Monet | In Germany a film can receive a heavy state incentive and if the film bombs then the producers don't have ot pay any of that money back. |
| 23:36.01 | Monet | So Boll takes movies and makes them bomb intentionally so he gets money from the German government and a few million in ticket sales, all tax-free |
| 23:36.48 | Monet | Blizzard Entertainment said they would not sell the rights "especially to you" |
| 23:39.43 | The_Randomness | lol |

| 23:46.43 | The_Randomness | Monet: man, talk about a sleazy thing to do |
| 23:50.55 | Tek0516 | I found a longer version of the quote, Blizzard knew exactly what that guy would do: "We will not sell the movie rights, not to you⦠especially not to you. Because it's such a big online game success, maybe a bad movie would destroy that ongoing income, what the company has with it." |
| 23:55.39 | Tek0516 | ...I dug into the source of that quote and managed to get even more annoyed at the guy. |
| 23:56.30 | Tek0516 | Monet The_Randomness: So this is what that guy thinks of gamers: "You go for it, to please the game fans, but on the other hand if you have the hard core gamers, they live in their own world. And you cannot fulfill their ideas from a video game based movie, it's impossible," Boll recently told MTV News. "And to be honest, the real gamers are the typical |
| 23:56.30 | Tek0516 | download guys, right? They don't pay anything for movies, because they illegally download the movies. So why I should please these guys? I need the normal audience." |
| 23:57.01 | The_Randomness | wow |
| 23:57.07 | Tek0516 | Emphasis on the second half |
| 23:57.19 | The_Randomness | fuck him x2 |
| 23:58.50 | Tek0516 | http://www.mtv.com/news/2429954/uwe-boll-wont-ever-be-entering-the-world-of-warcraft/ Source for both quotes. All the way from 2008 even |
