00:05.20 | The_Randomness | Hello |
00:06.39 | Monet | Hello |
00:06.52 | Monet | I got into thinking...is the DI that democratic a nation? |
00:08.08 | Liquid_Ink | I wouldn't think so |
00:09.55 | Monet | The head of state is a hereditary monarch, the viceroies are meritocratically picked, governors are indirectly elected |
00:10.57 | Liquid_Ink | Not at all democratic. |
00:11.37 | DrodoEmpire | Nah, not really a republic |
00:11.48 | DrodoEmpire | Definitely a constitutional monarchy of a sort |
00:11.54 | The_Randomness | yeah |
00:12.00 | DrodoEmpire | Speaking of which |
00:12.26 | DrodoEmpire | I've sorta considered having the Drodo Empire later become a constitutional monarchy |
00:14.05 | DrodoEmpire | I got the idea that, after the rather disasterous Jivirik administration the previously rather small political movement of monarchists, all backing different clans and people to be the royal dynasty, would begin to solidify and become more popular as the concept and sustainability of Drodo republicanism is thrown in to doubt |
00:14.48 | The_Randomness | Makes sense, considering how they are traditionalists (right?) |
00:14.58 | DrodoEmpire | Seeing as the current form of parliamentary government in the Empire isn't done out of a genuine belief in democratic values, but it was done as a compromise as the diverse cultures and peoples of the Drodo species couldn't decide on a dynasty to rule them |
00:15.02 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
00:15.11 | DrodoEmpire | Exactly, actually |
00:15.49 | DrodoEmpire | But ~200 years has done a bit to settle such issues, so I think there'd be a growing sentiment to choose a dynasty to rule the Drodo people |
00:22.23 | The_Randomness | Yeah, nobody said this would be easy |
00:22.32 | Monet | Too many disparate cultures to trust in mutual agreements I suppose. |
00:22.46 | DrodoEmpire | Pretty much |
00:22.52 | The_Randomness | It's just that they would seem more receptive to the idea than other societies, I'd imagine |
00:22.58 | DrodoEmpire | Right |
00:23.47 | Monet | I've always found it interesting how rare democratic or federal republics are in the fictionverse |
00:24.15 | DrodoEmpire | One of the few common features in these hundreds of different Drodo cultures is that most were ruled by aristocrats and monarchs |
00:24.57 | Tek0516 | The FTC is basically a federal republic |
00:25.08 | DrodoEmpire | The aristocracy has remained as powerful a force as it has always been in Drodo society in the Imperial age, but like I said a republic was chosen as an awkward compromise |
00:26.41 | Monet | I suppose while it's not so great at respecting or representing the people, authoritarianism does have that air that it gets shit done |
00:27.23 | DrodoEmpire | Well, that's the interesting thin |
00:27.30 | DrodoEmpire | *thing |
00:27.48 | DrodoEmpire | As the Drodo are actually pretty libertarian, or at least anti-federalist |
00:28.27 | DrodoEmpire | The power of the aristocracy, while indeed institutionalised and codified, derives more from the sheer power of traditional culture and birthright than threat of force |
00:28.56 | Tek0516 | I should really try and work on something with Farengeto, focusing on the many political entities within their federation and their political and social conflicts. There's entire member states that basically all the others hate. |
00:28.59 | DrodoEmpire | Commoners either admire or are indifferent to the aristocracy, for the most part |
00:29.08 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah that'd be cool |
00:30.48 | Monet | When people aren't so focused on the more fundamental aspects of surviving - like having enough to eat and reliable shelter - their minds turn more ot politics and other broader-reaching stuff |
00:31.02 | DrodoEmpire | For sure yeah |
00:32.27 | Monet | Which I guess for peopel who are less well-off, stuff like voting or analysing candidates is more of a chore than a cherished civic responsibility. |
00:32.59 | Monet | They have to think about food, shelter, bills *and* what stuff the far-off administration is cooking up. |
00:33.04 | Tek0516 | There's several member states in the FTC that are just arbitrarily drawn borders of territorries conquered by the KSA, and the species within them were basically all settled there randomly and against their will. |
00:33.05 | DrodoEmpire | Its definitely not really an activity that the Drodo are traditionally familiar with |
00:37.04 | Tek0516 | Oh, I have like 3 chapters of Roreinia stuff I really need to post sometime. XD |
00:37.50 | Monet | A democracy is tricky when you're running an interstellar empire |
00:38.34 | Monet | Would anything be achievable in a five-year term? |
00:57.24 | Tek0516 | Hm... I'm just thinking about the Roreinian Civil War and I think both sides could theoretically end up being anti-Xonexi (or at least anti-France), though both for different and legitimate (e.g. not for the evulz) reasons. |
01:01.12 | Tek0516 | The loyalists due to Gran Colombia joining France, and effectively seeing systems like French democracy undermining its own radical system. The Opposition for the Xonexian powers repeatedly failures to intervene in their suffering (both real and disputed). |
01:07.00 | Monet | Sometimes you've got to break a few eggs |
01:07.11 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
01:11.10 | Monet | Oh joy I'm seeing rumours of Netflix producing a TV drama based around Colombus releasing 2018 |
01:11.34 | DrodoEmpire | Huh |
01:11.46 | DrodoEmpire | That's bound to be controversial >.< |
01:12.22 | Monet | Or it panders to the people who see Colombus as a hero and a champion against ignorance. |
01:12.34 | DrodoEmpire | Well, yeah, Columbus was no hero |
01:12.39 | Tek0516 | That will probably depend on how they portray him. Brilliant explorer defying those flat earth fools, Genocidal madman who killed natives. |
01:12.53 | DrodoEmpire | So it makes me wonder as to why they decided to make a series about him |
01:13.03 | DrodoEmpire | If he's going to be the main character anyway |
01:13.14 | Monet | I think he is. |
01:13.34 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah, I can see it going too far in either direction |
01:13.35 | Tek0516 | I'm hoping not that unrealistic idealized version of him. Netflix shows tend to have some darkness to them so maybe they'll portray him a little better |
01:14.10 | Monet | Hopefully. Maybe they show him for the ignorant man that he was. |
01:14.34 | DrodoEmpire | Either the false narrative of him being an idealised explorer that proved the earth was round (despite it being common knowledge by the 1490s), or they'll make it a soapbox to tell us how horrible white people were :p |
01:14.51 | Monet | It was *extreme* luck he survived his voyage. |
01:14.59 | DrodoEmpire | I'd like to see him portrayed accurately, and maybe not as a main-main character |
01:15.18 | Monet | I suppose he's your classic underdog |
01:15.18 | Tek0516 | Or maybe they'll take the third option and make it a fantasy series about him discovering and exploring a magical New World |
01:15.21 | DrodoEmpire | It'd be interesting if the main character was, say, a member of his crew or an aide of his who observed his acts |
01:15.26 | DrodoEmpire | Ugh >.< |
01:15.43 | DrodoEmpire | Which would sidestep some of these issues |
01:16.42 | DrodoEmpire | I dunno, all I know is if I see a backscabbard or silly studded leather "armour" I'll have a fit |
01:17.09 | DrodoEmpire | <.< |
01:18.03 | Tek0516 | There's those Marco Polo ones but I'm not sure how historically accurate they went there, that would presumably be a reasonable guess on the history category. |
01:18.27 | Monet | He's either a visionary for believing the earth was round while the earth was flat, or he's an idiot who somehow got funding by either pity or sheer luck. |
01:18.48 | Monet | while everyone else though the Earth* |
01:18.55 | DrodoEmpire | Oh I watched partway through that Marco Polo series |
01:18.58 | DrodoEmpire | Pretty good actually |
01:19.09 | Monet | Been meaning ot watch that |
01:19.11 | DrodoEmpire | And having read a few books on the history of the Mongol Empire, also fairly accurate |
01:19.29 | DrodoEmpire | With some liberties taken, of course |
01:20.18 | Tek0516 | I remember reading that there's some dispute on how accurate the source material even was so some liberties was especially understandable. |
01:20.45 | DrodoEmpire | Well, that's a broader issue |
01:21.33 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
01:21.42 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
01:22.08 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
01:27.51 | DrodoEmpire | Hm |
01:28.07 | DrodoEmpire | I wonder what the first Drodo king (in 200 years) will be like |
01:28.21 | DrodoEmpire | Might wanna draft a char |
01:31.00 | Monet | Inb4 Jirivik's ghost is coronated |
01:31.31 | DrodoEmpire | olol |

15:45.09 | The_Randomness | Hello |
15:45.30 | OluapPlayer | The Duergar only emerged around 600 years after the formation of the Khargrim |
15:46.48 | Wormy_ | hi |
15:50.30 | ImpyDroid | Hachiman: Considering the Tzukartu are based on the grummle, they could offer tacit aid to the Dweorg without actually fighting |
15:50.36 | ImpyDroid | Providing intelligence and food and the like |
15:51.12 | ImpyDroid | Speaking of which that makes me wonder: what do Duergar (and other fully subterannean races such as the drow) eat? |
15:54.32 | Hachiman | Mushrooms and subterranean animals |
15:54.49 | Hachiman | And occasionally each other and inferior sapients, in the case of drow |
15:55.07 | ImpyDroid | Om nom nom |
15:55.51 | The_Randomness | I think you'd be hard-pressed to feed a civilization, or at least a decently sized group of people off that |
15:55.59 | ImpyDroid | I imagine there should be some sort of trade networks estabilished with the surface world |
15:56.08 | The_Randomness | And if you eat all of the animals and stuff you'd be in for a very bad time |
15:56.12 | ImpyDroid | Yes was about to say that, that is not enough to feed a large nation |
15:56.46 | Hachiman | Well I don't know the specifics, there's probably some method of being able to support subterranean agriculture |
15:56.54 | The_Randomness | I went through this for the collabverse stuff, and this was a major problem I had to work through for my world |
15:57.25 | ImpyDroid | The biggest problem is that very little energy is introduced into the system |
15:57.45 | ImpyDroid | That can be negated with trade though |
15:58.24 | The_Randomness | Yeah, if you can trade with the outside world, you're in a better position |
15:58.46 | The_Randomness | But, the question still remains, how did they manage before that? |
16:00.21 | ImpyDroid | The Ordnung I imagine used Ar-Klith as a giant pasture/terrace farm |
16:00.34 | Hachiman | Like I said, I dunno specifics, so I couldn't tell you and I don't think most people involved in the Fantasyverse could either considering food and agriculture is stuff that tends to get glossed over |
16:01.35 | ImpyDroid | TBH that is not cool, I prefer the Fantasy verse to the Fiction verse due to this |
16:02.00 | Hachiman | We probably *shouldn't* gloss it over, but it happens anyway |
16:02.09 | ImpyDroid | If is ironically much more grounded in reality and I can describe small stuff like, say, agriculture more deeply |
16:02.53 | Hachiman | Like I tend to gloss over economy and financial administration in most of my fiction because I personally find it *incredibly* dull and boring to talk about |
16:02.53 | The_Randomness | Yeah, as a hardass, I don't think stuff like this should be glossed over |
16:03.07 | ImpyDroid | I tried to describe how Alhassan society works and how they manage to survive in a desert |
16:04.14 | ImpyDroid | Actually looked at historical sources for that |
16:04.33 | Hachiman | To be fair, there's probably lots of subterranean lakes and rivers and whatnot for underground races to utilise and there's nothing stopping them from creating reservoirs and such |
16:05.49 | The_Randomness | Well, you won't have a problem finding water underground, but most of it is oxygen-poor iirc |
16:05.50 | ImpyDroid | The main problem is the lack of sunlight |
16:06.03 | The_Randomness | Unless it's being actively fed from another source |
16:06.32 | Hachiman | Oh, I also described dwarves as being able to feed off inorganic materials at some point on the Khargrim page I believe |
16:06.33 | The_Randomness | Yes, the lack of sunlight poses another challenge since you don't have that incredibly convenient source of energy for producers |
16:06.59 | Hachiman | And yes, absence of sunlight is a problem |
16:08.40 | The_Randomness | Wormy_ helped me out a ton with this, he'd probably be a better person to ask than me |
16:10.10 | Wormy_ | Whats this, Earthy science stuff? |
16:10.22 | Hachiman | It's not a discussion I'm prepared to have right now, anyway |
16:10.40 | Hachiman | This was kind of sprung on me and I don't feel like being criticised for not having answers |
16:11.12 | Wormy_ | I won't be like that, I hope |
16:12.16 | Wormy_ | If its Fantasyverse you ca kind of brush over the science anyay |
16:12.53 | Hachiman | Wormy_: Yes but some people like to take the fantasy out of the fantasy aspect :p |
16:14.08 | Wormy_ | If its written from the frame of Fantasyverse characters it is often more appropriate write about the landscape more mythologically or poetically, like they did in times gone by. |
16:14.53 | Wormy_ | But if you do want help with any geological explanations / descriptions I can help |
16:17.04 | Wormy_ | Or if you want to be clever, base the mythology upon a hidden realism |
16:17.43 | Hachiman | Wormy_: It was more a discussion about subterranean ecosystems and how a large civilisation like dwarves or drow could survive there |
16:18.37 | Wormy_ | Right, well me and Random worked very hard on a realistic subterrain aquatic ecosystem for the new collabverse |
16:18.57 | Wormy_ | subterranean |
16:19.02 | Hachiman | Given the lack of sunlight and energy-rich foods available but eh, I don't really have any answers beyond basic crap like fish, fungi, rodents, each other |
16:19.10 | Wormy_ | Likewise, our suggestions will probably take input from that |
16:19.15 | Wormy_ | *would |
16:19.32 | Hachiman | It's not stuff I put too much thought into before this anyway |
16:20.04 | ImpyDroid | We are not criticising you |
16:20.20 | ImpyDroid | The Khargrim avoid this problem either way |
16:20.37 | The_Randomness | I was just trying to help |
16:20.44 | Hachiman | I felt like I was being judged for being stupid or something |
16:20.48 | Hachiman | Anyway brb |
16:21.15 | Wormy_ | Nah, we are just all geeks and get a bit over excited |

17:39.45 | OluapPlayer | good |
17:40.33 | Xho | Si |
17:40.43 | Xho | Huh well didn't expect to type that |
17:40.54 | Hachiman | Hi |
17:41.18 | Hachiman | Are we ever gonna do a remake of the War for the Eye? |
17:41.23 | Xho | Hm |
17:41.29 | Xho | It's not on my agenda |
17:41.37 | OluapPlayer | There's enough to be done already |
17:41.51 | Hachiman | We have more characters and more organised lore and cultures now |
17:42.20 | Xho | It would be good |
17:42.26 | Xho | But only if everyone wanted to do it |
17:42.41 | OluapPlayer | Not as a character-centric fiction |
17:43.32 | Xho | It would be better if it wasn't character centric |
17:43.40 | Xho | There's not many characters around now that are a part of it then |
17:46.38 | Xho | Kalarah, Arcturus and Julianus are the only characters I have that would be a part of it |
17:48.57 | Xho | I'm thinking probably the the final part of Eschaton is less character centric because it will be Koldenwelt vs Shiarchon |
17:49.18 | Xho | Or more accurately, Koldenwelt vs All the Shiarchon except for Arcturus |
17:49.31 | Xho | Hm, perhaps not all of them I dunno |
17:49.57 | Xho | Wasting all of their military forces on one assault seems a little illogical |
17:50.59 | Xho | But yeah Koldenwelt needs to muster a force to outnumber the Shiarchon |

17:51.12 | Quark8 | Hello. |
17:51.30 | Xho | Hi |
17:51.43 | Xho | Might be a little easier if it was four million Shiarchon rather than closer to eight million |
17:51.46 | Xho | Or even two million |
17:51.52 | Xho | Two million Shiarchon is enough |
17:52.52 | Hachiman | I mean, this is why we have dwarves :p |
17:53.06 | OluapPlayer | That versus an indeterminate million others + over 10 gods + a transinfinite army of Simulacrum servants |
17:54.04 | OluapPlayer | The Shiarchon would be outnumbered and outmatched in any case |
17:55.09 | Xho | Good point |
17:55.48 | Xho | Although imagine the Simulacra and demons will be more preoccupied with Caligaduro + Rama-Squid + Kaicaiusarin's equally transfinite army of demons |
17:55.52 | Xho | I imagine* |
17:56.06 | OluapPlayer | Rama-Squid won't be helping the Shiarchon |
17:56.15 | Xho | Caligaduro - u bitch |
17:56.25 | OluapPlayer | I don't see why Kaicaiusarin would either |
17:56.43 | Xho | Hm suppose not |
17:56.50 | Xho | Okay well just Caligaduro's demons |
17:58.39 | OluapPlayer | Kalarah's general dickery made the Shiarchon lose the favour of the Cult of the Eclipse |
17:58.44 | OluapPlayer | Getting into a fight with Tibias most specific |
17:58.47 | OluapPlayer | specifically even |
17:58.55 | Xho | Caligaduro - u dun goofed now suffer for it |
17:59.58 | Xho | Caligaduro still has multiple methods of rising back to power even if Kalarah is cast into the void so I guess Caligaduro is just removing a virtually useless device |
18:00.10 | Xho | Just that Kalarah was his most useful one |
18:04.15 | Xho | That being said that is at a cost of the power he has mustered back together during Eschaton |
18:05.44 | Xho | OluapPlayer: I might need you for Winter of Discontent for Wolf-Head shenanigans |
18:06.13 | OluapPlayer | Okay |
18:07.07 | Xho | I'm able to do it now but dunno about you |
18:08.55 | OluapPlayer | I can |
18:09.25 | Xho | rite |
18:09.39 | Xho | Are we still using Titanpad or have we moved on yet |
18:10.08 | OluapPlayer | Titanpad is still functional |
