00:00.43MonetJoe A and Joe B might both suffer from say a fear of talking to women, but what works for Joe A might be destructive for Joe B
00:00.51HachimanI suppose if you want to be especially heartless and ignorant of the moral and ethical implications, you could supply memory-repressing treatment to lengths such as lobotomy
00:01.37MonetI don't think that'll work
00:02.03MonetYou can erase the memory but the bathways that cause the tics might still be there.
00:02.10HachimanThat's true
00:05.48MonetThe alternative to acclimatisation appears to be prohibiting leaving the military
00:06.49DrodoEmpireAnd then their family loses its shit >.<
00:06.58DrodoEmpirePlus the soldier wouldn't be very happy
00:07.58MonetThis is the thing that is now bugging me about the GRand Army of the Republic
00:08.17HachimanHow'd you mean?
00:08.31HachimanAs in, the legions of cloned soldiers?
00:08.33MonetThe whole template idea
00:09.38MonetThe millions of clones they created aren't millions of copies of Jango Fett, they're millions of copies of a single 5' 11" human male with Mandalorian heritage.
00:11.02MonetAt best, Jango can offer insight to growing up as a Mandalorian.
00:11.33HachimanThing is, the Clones did not have lives or families prior to their military service
00:11.50DrodoEmpire^
00:12.18HachimanThey knew nothing other than war and their times away from the field in military barracks and facilities and whatnot
00:12.27DrodoEmpireThough, to be sure breeding sentient beings for the sole purpose of war has some horrific ethical implications
00:12.35HachimanTheir friends and families consisted of other Clones and the Jedi they were attached to
00:13.13HachimanAlso correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't the Clones leave military service following a certain age after the fall of the Republic?
00:13.22HachimanIf they even lived a roughly human lifespan at all
00:13.27DrodoEmpireI'm not sure anymore
00:13.30Tek0516They did have accelerated aging.
00:13.35DrodoEmpireTheir lifespans were halved I believe
00:14.09Tek0516Also post-Clone Wars clones was addressed somewhat during Star Wars Rebels though I forget the specifics.
00:14.09DrodoEmpireI'd figure many of them would've been discharged early into the Empire due to old age and infirmity, but I dunno
00:14.13MonetSome might have become instructors. But by the time the first batch were old enough to be too old for military service, their purpose as a whole was reaching its end.
00:14.35DrodoEmpireYeah others could train, lots of experience
00:14.58Tek0516By the time of Star Wars Rebels (few years before A New Hope) some characters like Captain Rex are already almost elderlt.
00:15.33HachimanIf they were specifically bred for war and frontline combat, with no experience of domestic living outside of the barracks, then I'm not entirely sure if most of the Clones would be too torn up about it
00:16.00Tek0516http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/8/89/Captain_Rex_old.png/revision/latest?cb=20160131050502 This is him around 4 BBY
00:16.11DrodoEmpireAlright
00:16.19DrodoEmpireSo I took over Carthage in RTW
00:16.32MonetI do recall reading about an episode of Clone Wars or Rebels where some clones did try to integrate int ofarming communities
00:16.33DrodoEmpireDo I enslave it and send 15 000 slaves scattering over my empire
00:16.40DrodoEmpireOr do I exterminate the city <.<
00:17.00HachimanDrodoEmpire: How badly did Carthage piss you off/
00:17.02Hachiman?
00:17.05DrodoEmpireNot at all
00:17.06DrodoEmpireI attacked
00:17.13DrodoEmpireI'm just a terrible person
00:17.18DrodoEmpire<.<
00:17.19HachimanI'd enslave it in that case
00:17.24MonetWhat faction are you?
00:17.25DrodoEmpireBah, you're no fun
00:17.30DrodoEmpireHouse of Julii
00:17.33DrodoEmpireSo Rome
00:18.22Tek0516From what I'm reading though they basically shut down clone production post-war and by Episode 4 most of them were physically too old to fight.
00:18.46DrodoEmpireI mean, yeah maybe 15k slaves would do good for my empire's economy
00:19.13DrodoEmpireBut that's almost, if not more than, the population of my part of italy, the north :x
00:19.14MonetTek0516: Between the war's end and ANH, the Stormtrooper corps became a mix of clones, varied clone stock and volunteers.
00:19.40Tek0516http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_trooper I'm just digging through the wiki to see what's still in canon
00:20.45MonetRex still looks pretty good for being biologically 60-ish.
00:21.56Tek0516Says born 32 BBY so physically he's something like 56-64 in that shot.
00:22.03Wormy_FINALLY finished my login system with user role based control
00:23.16MonetI'm pretty sure this is not very Mandalorian http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/a/a6/Youngclonestraining.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20070815200125
00:24.45HachimanThey're not raised Mandalorian iirc
00:25.01Monet"Fett's genetic structure was further modified to make the clones less independent and more docile than their template."
00:25.23Tek0516I remember that much being mentioned in the movie itself.
00:25.57MonetSo ultimately hiring a Mandalorian as a template was mostly pointless aside from the knowledge he could impart.
00:26.08HachimanNot really
00:26.42HachimanJango is the peak example of Mandalorian physiology
00:27.23NeonPandaThe majority of the training staff were Mandalorian castaways, not counting the Kaminoans and Jedi. The clones were raised using a mixture of Kaminoan and Mando techniques, mostly the former.
00:27.43MonetThere is a bit of Mandalorian physiology, sure.
00:28.06NeonPandaOf course a lot of their training was also developed specifically for them. This is also the point that I remind people that Mandalorian refers to a culture at this point, as the species is extinct. Jango was human.
00:28.42MonetA lot of what made Jango the man he is was his Mandalorian upbringing.
00:29.54MonetWhen I referred to Mandalorian heritage I was referring to the genetic traits fostered in multiple generations being raised the Mandalorian way.
00:30.52Tek0516NeonPanda: It doesn't seem like the Mandalorian species part is canon anymore though.
00:33.21MonetNo wonder it was kept secret though - the Republic's counter to the CIS battle droids was effectively a slave army.
00:38.26MonetReading First Order Troopers
00:40.02MonetOne paragraph says there was a strong emphasis on uniformity and conformity, another paragraph says they're given a heavy does of propaganda to make them loyal without question, but another says their training encourages improvisation.

00:42.31Tek0516Hey Charles
00:43.15MonetSo...they're indoctrinated from birth to not question their superiors, not question their peers, and pledge uncompromising faith in said leaders, while also being encouraged to improvise during battlefield situations.
00:45.23HachimanHm
00:45.23Tek0516That kind of soldier archetype isn't exactly know for being fully self-consistent other than  power and awesomeness. :P
00:46.47MonetFree will and thought being forbidden anywhere but the heat of combat (I think) means the quality improvisation would be piss-poor.
00:51.15MonetIt's saying the only place they can be creative is when someone is trying to fight them.
00:52.45MonetI mean, you can look at real-world fundamentalism to see how great this level of indoctrination is for one's improvisation skills.
02:07.32MonetGoodnight

05:03.01Charles_MurrayHey
05:03.09Charles_MurrayWorking on this http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:French_Empire#Concerns_and_rivalries
05:25.55Liquid_InkNice
05:30.12Spluff5Interesting, can't wait to get involved in collab stuff.
05:30.41Liquid_InkDoes the human superstate still exist?
05:40.14Charles_MurrayLiquid_Ink Superstate is defunct
05:40.39Liquid_InkThe page doesn't reflect that
05:44.08Charles_MurrayThanks for pointing that out
05:45.29Charles_MurrayLiquid_Ink dere
05:49.03Spluff5Which human empires are active?
05:49.39Liquid_InkFrance, the ATR, and such
05:51.39Tek0516I've started doing more with Roreinia now too
05:55.06Charles_MurrayATR isn't active recently
05:55.20Charles_MurrayFrance is the main one, Dino is making the netherlands
05:55.26Charles_MurrayThere's Roreinia as Tek said
05:58.10Liquid_InkI'm going to make a concerted effort to write up the DCP-Vermulan War, which will show the Fjord League subdue the Mashriq Alliance, and might involve India.
06:00.57Charles_MurrayCool
06:01.23Charles_MurrayI might need help with this, actually
06:01.44Charles_MurrayTek tells me the "rival power centers" section is puzzling, even threatening http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:French_Empire#Concerns_and_rivalries
06:01.49Charles_MurrayCould I have your thoughts on it?
06:02.22Liquid_InkI wouldn't think so
06:02.47Charles_MurrayWhat's your impression?
06:03.50Liquid_InkIt's just explaining which powers the French considers a threat to their rule
06:04.01Liquid_InkWhich is what all powers do
06:04.25Liquid_InkIt's not really threatening unless one thinks that you personally are trying to take over the fictionverse
06:04.56Charles_MurrayFrance - kind of just trying to keep everything from crashing and burning at this point
06:06.14Liquid_InkAlternatively you could look at them as having crossed a sort of Thermidor Reaction during their war with the DCP and have become the imperial power they were trying to dismantle.
06:07.24Charles_MurrayWell, in this case they actually didn't go about creating an empire, they instituted a rules-based system founded on sovereignty, self-determination, and restraint
06:08.07Charles_MurraySubmitting its own power to the democratic rules of the galactic parliament of the Milky Way, and the interpretations of those rules by the judiciary
06:09.08Charles_MurrayWhile the French Empire itself is a loose alliance of democratic member states possessing a weird limbo common sovereignty, government, military, etc, revolving around the principle core members
06:11.03Charles_MurrayFrance isn't powerful because it has a lot of force at its disposal – it doesn't, the people forced it to reduce its standing military to a mere shadow of what it was during the GXS; it's powerful because it's able to balance alliances and orchestrate a favorable status quo for a majority of those involved
06:14.47Liquid_InkMy knowledge of it isn't perfect
06:14.55Liquid_InkI should read through all the pages in more detail
06:15.20Charles_MurrayI'm afraid I've really neglected a lot of my pages >.<
06:15.28Charles_MurrayAs you saw with the human superstate page
06:16.02Charles_MurrayI'd be happy to answer questions, generally we tend to keep each other up to date on IRC, and the pages lag behind
06:16.25Liquid_InkYour #1 priority honestly is to finish the GXS page. It doesn't even mention that it finished

11:39.22GhelaeEveryone who's on the wiki except me (and that's because Apalos doesn't do colonies), I think.
11:40.51GhelaeThat is to say, Charles (French Andromeda), Drodo (Drodo Andromedan colonies), Imp (Divinarium) and Panda (although I can't remember which of his fictions are Andromedan).
11:42.16Groxkiller98Well, I know Charles does, since I'm selling resources to him.

15:04.47Groxkiller98Hey, Tek.
15:08.22Groxkiller98http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Captain:Tana%27Suloni - I'm wondering. What would happen if she walked up to an Xhodocto.
15:09.58OluapPlayerShe'd probably get erased from existence faster than you can blink
15:10.06Groxkiller98XD
15:10.17Groxkiller98But Essence doesn't work on her. Or around her.
15:10.44OluapPlayerXhodocto manipulate the fabric of reality, not essence
15:10.49Groxkiller98Fair point.
15:11.00Groxkiller98An actual Essential then?
15:11.30OluapPlayerProbably the same result since Essentials are gods
15:11.32HachimanXhodocto are 'beyond' Essentials
15:11.44GhelaeAnd at best,"Essence doesn't work around her" only works for actual Essence negation, which - as I mentioned - is problematic, as opposed to counter-Essence.
15:12.08HachimanAlso, Essence powers, including negation, can be overcome
15:12.20*** join/#sporewiki Tek0516 (uid149600@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-tttbdhavymhkmzdo)
15:12.44Groxkiller98The idea was that she's a Blank from WH40K
15:12.58Groxkiller98So, Essence breaks around her somehow.
15:13.04ImpyDroidThese can still be killed
15:13.04OluapPlayerA blank is nothing to a Chaos God
15:13.08Groxkiller98True.
15:13.20Groxkiller98Bullets kill her. Essence Magic doesn't.
15:13.34Groxkiller98The giant box thrown by Essence magic... Probably does some damage too.
15:13.35ImpyDroidAn Essential can still punch her
15:13.51HachimanA Blank is barely anything compared to an ancient enough Eldar Farseer
15:14.06ImpyDroidI remember no rules about, say, Culexus assassins or Necrons Pariahs being kmvulnerable to Blooodthirster axes
15:14.07ImpyDroid*in
15:14.50HachimanIf an Essence user cannot kill you to death directly with Essence, they will manipulate reality to indirectly do so
15:15.21OluapPlayerkill you to death
15:15.22Groxkiller98Yeah. That makes sense.
15:15.23Groxkiller98XD
15:15.25GhelaeWe also discussed that the descriptions of Blanks are not entirely unambiguous.
15:15.38Groxkiller98I remember.
15:16.03Groxkiller98Just thinking, at what point should her ability to break Essence... break down.
15:16.23Groxkiller98An Essential is pretty powerful, so something that immense probably should.
15:16.54GhelaeYes.
15:16.57ImpyDroidI'd say she'd defeat weaker Nars but nothing stronger than that
15:17.05Groxkiller98Major demons too?
15:17.06OluapPlayerEssentials are gods, claiming your character can overpower them will get them negated by the rest of the userbase
15:17.15Groxkiller98Yeah, ofc.
15:17.17ImpyDroidThat
15:17.22Groxkiller98I'd never try take on a god. XD
15:17.30Groxkiller98That's be... well, pretty stupid.
15:17.41HachimanI'd say it's when you starts getting to demigod-level characters that your reliability falters
15:17.48HachimanCharacters like Kol Daren or Hachiman
15:17.56Groxkiller98That seems like a good point then.
15:19.04HachimanDraconis anti-Essence technology can affect characters like Hachi, but its reliability breaks down the more they become adjusted to it so its usage is rather limited if you cannot kill or subjugate your target as quickly as possible
15:19.15ImpyDroidShe'd be pretty useful against mooks but not named characters
15:19.17ImpyDroidI guess
15:19.22Groxkiller98Yeah.
15:19.33HachimanMeanwhile, I'm imagining someone like Tana would be reliable against lower-level Essence users far more persistently
15:19.40Groxkiller98Maybe she gives some more powerful things a minor headache at worst?
15:20.09Groxkiller98XD
15:20.09ImpyDroidLike, say Iovera or Hachiman?
15:20.13Groxkiller98Yeah.
15:20.20ImpyDroidWould make sense
15:20.34Groxkiller98Maybe they can feel her, or lack of her, but it doesn't really do anything else.
15:21.28HachimanOne thing you have to consider; if she works in the same functional manner as a Blank, she will also be affecting any Essence-using allies she has that are not powerful enough to resist negation
15:21.41Groxkiller98Oh, yeah. I know that.
15:21.48Groxkiller98That's how she works.
15:27.24Groxkiller98I've just had a thought. What if she could be overwhelmed by too much Essence, effectively knocking her unconscious.
15:27.31HachimanMakes sense
15:27.51Groxkiller98Like if a Psyker was suddenly blasted by The Warp or something.
15:28.33HachimanI think there was a time a bunch of human psykers struggled to stand in the same room as a particularly powerful or ancient Farseer at some point in WH40K lore
15:29.08Groxkiller98XD
15:29.42Groxkiller98Sounds like something Tzeentch would set up.
15:30.41HachimanNah, Farseers are just THAT potent as psykers
15:31.40Groxkiller98Yeah. But it sounds like he's have organised it.
15:31.51Groxkiller98Because Chaos Gods like to do weird stuff to people.
15:32.15Groxkiller98And Tzeentch is effectively the god of psychic magic.
15:44.29Groxkiller98Oh, by the way... My birthday is in two days. :3
15:46.11ImpyDroidHachiman: The way I understand, Eldar Farseers are better psykers overall but are outclassed in *combat*
15:46.32ImpyDroidOrks and humies have stronger combat abilities
15:46.39HachimanThat's arguable
15:47.01ImpyDroidNot all humans but the strongest ones
15:47.12ImpyDroidMalcador, Magnus, et cetera
15:47.15HachimanAh
15:47.44HachimanI was going to say, consider that the average Eldar fights roughly on par with the average Astartes
15:47.59Groxkiller98Dakka beats all.
15:48.13HachimanI was also going to bring up the fact that Eldar Warlocks exist
15:48.22HachimanAnd that they are combat-centric psykers
15:49.31ImpyDroidYeah but there are not as powerful as for them psyker-ness is like a part-time job
15:49.46ImpyDroidUnlike for Farseers which are devoted solely to it
15:50.01HachimanYeah, Warlocks are more niche
15:50.36HachimanAlso I never thought of Malcador as much of a combatant
15:51.09HachimanI just thought he was an exceptionally wise human
15:51.12ImpyDroidFirst two OP psykers I could think of
15:51.21ImpyDroidHe was one of the strongest psykers ever AFAIK
15:51.59HachimanEldrad was also an exceptionally powerful psyker
15:52.31ImpyDroidAmong humans I mean
15:52.48HachimanAh
15:53.23HachimanYeah, Magnus and presumably Malcador were the two most powerful human psykers to have ever existed barring the Emperor Himself
15:53.52OluapPlayer>capitalizing Him referring to the Emperor                      fukin corpse worshiper
15:54.03Hachimanhes actually a god tho
15:54.57ImpyDroidDO YOU NOT KNOW THAT HIS SOUL WAS PICKED CLEAN

15:55.48Groxkiller98Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!
15:56.27ImpyDroid>is a psyker
15:56.57OluapPlayerKhorne needs to stop being a bitch, he's made of magic hur
15:57.01HachimanI remember reading something about Khornate psykers a while ago actually
15:57.57ImpyDroidI made homebrew rules about Khorne magic as a kid
15:58.13HachimanThat there are, or logically should be, psykers who practice Khornate traditions such as being engaged in frontline combat and utilising melee weaponry in conjunction with their psychic powers to cause their enemies to be rendered a bloody, gory mess up close
15:58.23ImpyDroidOne spell I remember
15:58.34ImpyDroidExploding yourself and killing everything around you
15:58.57OluapPlayerKamikaze magic
15:59.04Groxkiller98From my understanding, Khorne's opinion is... "Magic is unmanly, grab a sword (or a 16-inch battleship cannon, if that's your thing) and go kill like real men do already."
15:59.28OluapPlayerWhich is dumb because Khorne is sentient magic
15:59.28Groxkiller98Magical swords are okay though.
16:00.03HachimanThe Blood Pact, a traitorous Chaos Guard group dedicated to Khorne, actually utilise 'Gore Mages' who are Khornate psykers
16:00.15HachimanBut I've always been a little iffy about the Blood Pact
16:00.34OluapPlayerSword & magic should be fair game. It's about the same as Sword & gun
16:00.55OluapPlayerblood pact
16:01.06OluapPlayerdats a mass effect faction
16:01.18Hachimanhttp://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Blood_Pact bruh
16:01.40Groxkiller98" Magic is unmanly, grab a sword (or a 16-inch battleship cannon, if that's your thing) and go kill like real men do already." - Oh gods, this made me laugh.
16:01.53Groxkiller98"In short he hates everyone and pissed at everyone, including you even if you worship him(usually its a matter how pissed it is at you). And they hate him too. Except Nurgle, who's too nice to hate anyone. Except Tzeentch. The know-it-all, indecisive, over-thinking, birdy bastard..." even...
16:02.04OluapPlayerhttp://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Blood_Pack two can play at dat game
16:02.31OluapPlayerAh it's Pack and not Pact
16:02.34OluapPlayerI was off by one letter
16:02.43HachimanI love the fact that the Blood Pack was founded because one krogan punched his wife or something
16:02.44OluapPlayerI was 95% right tho
16:02.53Groxkiller98xd
16:02.54Hachiman>domestic violence leads to mercenary founding
16:02.55Groxkiller98XD
16:03.00Groxkiller98Seriously?
16:03.02OluapPlayer"Exiled for striking a female in anger, Wrang obsessed over reclaiming his lost status."
16:03.04Charles_MurrayGet rekt http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Blood_Pact
16:03.14Groxkiller98Warcraft! :D
16:05.12HachimanI believe that Khorne accepts Sorcerers whose work involves actually getting into the thick of battle - such as the practices required to summon Khornate daemons into the Materium
16:05.26ImpyDroidOluapPlayer: Blood Pact = Chaos Guard
16:05.42ImpyDroidHachiman: But Blood Pact is best
16:05.53OluapPlayerAre you dum, I was joking
16:05.59HachimanI dunno, Blood Pact just seems a little odd
16:05.59ImpyDroidLike IG + CSM
16:06.02ImpyDroidIs awesome
16:06.25ImpyDroidChaos Space Marines
16:06.27HachimanI've always seen Khorne and his followers portrayed in 40k as angry retards so
16:06.33ImpyDroidBut without the retarded part
16:06.38ImpyDroidWithout Space Marines
16:07.02Groxkiller98Just be glad you're not talking to a Slanneshi...
16:07.11HachimanSlaanesh is a fucking bitch
16:07.27Groxkiller98Who is probably doing something sickening to something else that's also sickening,
16:07.38OluapPlayernurgle best chaos god
16:07.45OluapPlayergork & mork best gods period
16:07.50HachimanNurgle is probably my favourite Chaos God in 40k
16:07.54ImpyDroidI have no real preference other than a dislike of Khorne
16:08.00HachimanWith Khorne being my favourite in FB
16:08.15ImpyDroidFB Khorne is better yeah
16:08.22ImpyDroidHe has more depth
16:08.28OluapPlayerI want a story where Gork and Mork stop fighting each other and go on an adventure where they beat the Chaos Gods up for fun
16:08.28HachimanI dislike the 40k interpretation of Khorne with a passion so I can understand disliking him
16:08.42ImpyDroidOverall though
16:08.48ImpyDroidSotek best god
16:08.50HachimanOluapPlayer: That's essentially what they're doing through Ghazghkull
16:08.51ImpyDroidOld Ones best gods
16:09.15OluapPlayerSkully is too busy fighting Tyranids
16:09.39Groxkiller98Tzeentch is my favorite.

16:11.38ImpyDroidBiovores?
16:11.41HachimanYeah

19:22.51XhoI'm thinking about Kicathian politics atm
19:22.59MonetWell looking at the situation the primary panic was Draocnis interference would unleash some eldritch horror on the galaxy.
19:23.34XhoWith the Avalotur Covenant and the lack of action against it as well as rising tensions in Mirus, Kitravasuron might have a low approval rating
19:24.10MonetThe viceroy herself however assured that the Draconis have no interest in interfering with Mirusian religion, even if there is regular ritual sacrifice going on.

21:24.12HachimanGhelae NeonPanda Monet: So, I found this comment on a post about how the 'brightest supernova ever' was actually something to do with a monster black hole
21:24.17Hachiman"can it be that this so cold black hole are just stars with black fire energy which can' t feel but its like acid and destroys everything in another point of view why would a star shine more than usually when getting into SCBH if not for getting destroyed"
21:25.18Monet"Like acid" eh?
21:25.52Hachiman"black fire energy"
21:26.48MonetThat *kind* of defies the principle of the EM spectrum
21:27.46MonetHe's right that black holes do emit a form of energy.
21:28.16MonetThough I think the energy is a hypothesis
21:28.19HachimanHe is not right in the regard that black holes are "just stars with black fire energy"
21:29.21MonetNo that's a bit stupid
21:29.43MonetPoints for him for understanding that black holes are not frikking holes.
21:34.35Monetbut minus points for mistaking black as something registerable  on the colour spectrum.

21:45.37MonetImperios: I think it might more go in line with this idea that sometimes those most strongly against homosexuals have had negative experiences.
21:46.09ImperiosHe actually said something that makes me think he was once homosexual
21:46.19ImperiosAs in had homosexual experience
21:46.39DrodoEmpire?
21:47.32Imperios"If a man engages in homosexual acts while searching for himself, just to try it, it is forgivable and this man can be saved. But only if this happened ONCE."
21:48.04ImperiosThis kind of makes me think he was once in love with a man, maybe tried having sex and had a bad experience during it
21:48.12ImperiosWhich made him hate homosexuality in general
21:48.45DrodoEmpirePerhaps
21:49.14DrodoEmpireReading quite a lot into that though

21:58.39DrodoEmpireIts not a hate crime to misgender someone, at worst its a bit rude
21:59.13HachimanNext thing you know, 'manspreading' will be deemed a serious criminal offense
21:59.14ImpyDroidOne word
21:59.16ImpyDroidTopkek
21:59.19XhoAs in, perhaps a particular Zhulultu deconstructed his being and formed it into another species
21:59.23XhoHachiman: Penises are criminal
21:59.35ImpyDroid*Benises
21:59.35HachimanXho: So, kinda like how the Vida'Rra did that with a couple of species?
22:00.02Xhooh ffs dam u oluap
22:00.03ImpyDroidHachiman: Did you just ASSUME that shi was actually a man?
22:00.10Monet<PROTECTED>
22:00.21HachimanImpyDroid: Did you just address me by 'you' and not 'xou'
22:00.22ImpyDroidShi was actually an agender demisexual
22:00.22XhoBut only one species mind you
22:00.28ImpyDroidCheck your privilege!
22:00.45DrodoEmpireMonet: Well, trans people
22:00.48HachimanMonet: Because unfortunately sex and gender are different things
22:00.53HachimanWell, not unfortunately
22:01.01DrodoEmpireNot *really*, that's still controverisal
22:01.10ImpyDroidWell yeah some people have gender dysphoria
22:01.12DrodoEmpireBut transgenderism is probably a real thing
22:01.14MonetHachiman: I understand but people are mixing them up.
22:01.15ImpyDroidBut these are pretty rare
22:01.23ImpyDroidTranstrenders are the worst tho
22:01.35XhoI don't actually know what a genetically reconstructed descendant of a Zhulultu would look like
22:01.39ImpyDroidI happen to know a few teenage girls who are into that
22:01.40XhoProbably nothing too attractive
22:01.45Monet<PROTECTED>
22:01.58ImpyDroid...I am not complaining
22:02.09HachimanXho: Would they have knowledge that they are the reconstructed descendants of the Zhulultu and if so, how would it affect them as a society and culture?
22:02.27XhoI think they could piece it together all things considered
22:02.37XhoThey'd probably have a superiority complex because of it
22:02.41ImpyDroidThough I suppose all this trans Tumblr thingajing is a way for young people, especially girls, to find themselves
22:02.49Xho"we're actually the children of god so bow to us"
22:02.57MonetXho: What they look like could depend on how much Zhul DNA they inherit.
22:03.03DrodoEmpireFor some maybe
22:03.15DrodoEmpireDifferent story when its college-aged people doing it
22:03.29HachimanI was just gonna say that it might be wise that, unless they serve as antagonists, it might be a wise option to differentiate yourselves from a social and cultural standpoint from your rather controversial forebears
22:03.34ImpyDroidThey are trying to explore their identities and all that, I think that by 30 or so most of these "agender demisexual panromantics" become normal people if they are not actually LGBT
22:03.46HachimanAlso I fucked up my sentence but meh
22:03.49XhoThey'd likely be part of the Schism if they were Zhulultu descendants
22:03.49ImpyDroidYeah when people of older age are doing that is weird
22:03.58XhoSo they would be almost innately antagonistic
22:03.59DrodoEmpireAnd yeah the thing is that a lot of this comes from academia, not shit on Tumblr
22:04.05ImpyDroidThough I guess if they do not try to bring it u0 it is okay
22:04.27XhoProbably to the point where The Congregation didn't want to mess with their level of dickery
22:04.40XhoOr Zhuleshxi considered them a memento of his past
22:04.43XhoOne or the other
22:04.46XhoOr both
22:05.26NeonPandasee here's the thing, and this is all I'm going to say on the matter: several societies historically have recognised multiple "genders" but only two "sexes," thing is there's a bunch of people trying to conflate the two
22:05.46DrodoEmpireRight
22:05.54ImpyDroidXho: Tiny Zhulultu descendants with high-pitched voices and German accents
22:05.59HachimanSee, I'd probably consider it maybe a little more interesting if the Descendants that modelled themselves after the Zhulultu were a minority or radical faction while the others are somewhat more benevolent and tolerable but that's just me
22:06.02DrodoEmpireTo the point that many people are saying that biological sex doesn't exist
22:06.12ImpyDroidTBH I am a bit confused by the definition of gender
22:06.13DrodoEmpireAcademics-- not in actual sciences of course
22:06.22DrodoEmpireBut in 'gender studies' courses and the sor
22:06.23DrodoEmpire*sort
22:06.33MonetWell t those people I ask what the hell is that extra bit of chromosome par 23.
22:06.36XhoHachiman: My thoguht process is if that you're descended from the most asshole ultraterrestrial in the known omniverse you are also going to be an asshole
22:06.50ImpyDroidSome claim it is a state of feeling you belong to a certain sex, in which case it'd be only 2 genders
22:06.59DrodoEmpireMonet: their ideology has that strong of a pull
22:07.02XhoUltraterrestrial species that is
22:07.17XhoParticular Oikoumene could be worse
22:07.38ImpyDroidOthers claim it is a societal role related to it, like "wearing pink" or "watching MLP" or "liking football"
22:07.56MonetDrodEmpire: I momentarily forgot some people willingly deny the accomplishments of science.
22:07.59ImpyDroidIn which case there can be intermediaries between several tenders
22:08.03ImpyDroid*genders
22:08.27ImpyDroidAnd indeed many societies had the concept of a third gender and even considered it to be a natural thing
22:08.34XhoThat level of altruism and general hatred for all things inferior is probably so hardwired into a Zhulultu it influences the psychology of their descendants
22:08.39ImpyDroidMen who are girly and are neither men or women
22:08.41DrodoEmpireThe issue I have with multiple genders is that they almost always push "male" and "female" to the polar extremes of said expression
22:08.45NeonPandathere's one east asian society that used to recognise five genders
22:08.58MonetXho: Cyr can say for certain but I think it is mentioned somewhere the Capricornians have a 'touch' of Oikoumene heritage.
22:09.03DrodoEmpireWhen that isn't true
22:09.04ImpyDroidNeonPanda: And even today there are ladybugs in Thailand which consider themselves to be neither men nor women
22:09.08ImpyDroid*ladyboys
22:09.13Hachimanolol
22:09.22ImpyDroidMIRACULOUS LADYBOY
22:09.29DrodoEmpireYou *can* be a man without being hyper-butch and eat steaks as every meal in the day
22:09.35NeonPandathey still identify as male on some level, they're just not quite the same
22:09.44XhoMonet: I'd imagine most species in Cyrannus are Oikoumene descendants or influenced, much like Tuuros with the Zhulultu
22:09.52DrodoEmpireWell yeah, you can be effeminate
22:09.54NeonPandaanyway, fortunately the only non-binary friend I have is not a twat and recognises that biologically her sex is female, just her gender is not
22:09.57XhoTheir galaxies definitely reflect on their precursors
22:10.15MonetThe Capricornais iirc are supposed to be preferential cases.
22:10.32XhoMaybe not so much Tuuros since Tuuros was actually an unnatural machine of the Zhulultu's making during their tme
22:10.33Xhotime
22:10.33DrodoEmpireUltimately I'm not sure if this is a scientific matter, but I remain skeptical of all this gender stuff
22:10.39DrodoEmpireSo I'll leave it there
22:10.58ImpyDroidNeonPanda: I had a genderqueer acquaintance but TBH I never understood her arguments
22:11.13OluapPlayerThe Oikoumene created the Capricyránae to be galactic keepers after they left
22:11.20ImpyDroid"Well, I am a girl biologically but I can be boyish at times so I'm genderqueer"
22:11.27OluapPlayerThe Libertus in specific are meant to be the Oikoumene's successors
22:11.29ImpyDroidThat kind of argument can be applied to me
22:11.41ImpyDroidI like a lot of girly stuff but that does not make me a girl
22:11.42MonetWell there you go.
22:11.44DrodoEmpireI think that's just being a bit boyish at times
22:11.47Xhooll of thos hos hopponod boforo
22:11.48DrodoEmpireNot a new gender
22:11.52ImpyDroid^ that
22:11.55DrodoEmpireWhich is basically my argument >.<
22:13.26HachimanI think the real issue is that the media is focusing far too much on humans and not otherkin like myself
22:13.36DrodoEmpirehur
22:13.37NeonPandashup u weebkin
22:13.43XhoI can say that a Zhulultu's descendant species would be tasked with galactic domination but I can't say it would fare very well since the galaxy deviated rapidly back into a natural and chaotic structure after they disappeared
22:14.06XhoSo much so that there's a number of strong powers in The Schism trying to control it
22:14.13ImpyDroidHachiman: I can see your phantom bunny ears
22:14.30DrodoEmpireHm this is strange
22:14.54ImpyDroidNow I want a deer hat
22:14.59ImpyDroidLike a hat with deer antlers
22:15.01MonetXho: If they were created to dominate, it wouldn't be surprising if they were built to lean to the mindset of not bothering too much about how much has fallen apart
22:15.20XhoLikely
22:15.22HachimanIn seriousness, there have been 'otherkin' in ancient cultures such as the Native Americans and whatnot and you do not see them being assholes about being treated like people
22:15.24DrodoEmpireThe official channel for this artist has one cut of a track, while a music channel has a very slightly different cut, but neither video make any mention of this difference
22:15.58XhoSince the Kicath are psychologically influenced by Krathazhrukhal many aeons down the line you can see their staunch logical processes
22:16.07XhoA direct descendant of the Zhulultu would kick it up to 11
22:16.24DrodoEmpireHachiman: I think the claim that First Nations people had Otherkin is a pretty dubious example of historical revisionism
22:16.49HachimanHow'd you mean?
22:16.51DrodoEmpireI'm sure they may've had some sort of slightly related concept as part of their animism and mysticism, but that's all
22:16.58HachimanAh right
22:17.12DrodoEmpirePlus the general issue of applying modern terms to historical stuff
22:17.12HachimanYeah that's why I typed it as 'otherkin'
22:17.15XhoI could imagine a Zhulultu descendant species being generally superior in design to most of Tuuros' deviated creations
22:17.25NeonPandathere's a difference between drawing power from an animal totem, for example, than believing you are actually an animal trapped in a human body
22:17.28MonetHachiman: Ignored minority perception + social media influenced peer pressure to be well known = megaphone mentality
22:17.50ImpyDroidI AM A FUCKING DEER ACCEPT IT MOTHERFUCKERS
22:17.59ImpyDroidsmashes himself on a car
22:18.04Xhotop fucking kek
22:18.05Hachimanolol
22:18.28Monet15-25 is a really precarious time for people.
22:18.36XhoNow I'm imagining a Zhulultu descendant species to be a whole race of Khans
22:18.51HachimanAs in, Mongols?
22:19.10XhoNo as in the Star Trek villain
22:19.11MonetI'm guessing as in Nooien Singh.
22:19.13MonetYeah
22:19.16ImpyDroidKHAAANS
22:19.32ImpyDroidSo like Sikhs
22:19.46XhoI was on about eugenics wars
22:20.05XhoExterminating anything lesser than themselves
22:20.19XhoIf they actually are Zhulultu descendants then it does have some substantial grounding barring the insanity
22:20.36MonetIt does
22:20.50HachimanImpyDroid: Do modern Egyptians kinda count as Arabs?
22:21.27ImpyDroidHachiman: Egyptian Muslims?
22:21.32MonetI actually sort of wonder if there might be psychological pressure learnign that your species was created by an alien race to serve a purpose you had n osay in
22:21.33HachimanYeah
22:21.35ImpyDroidOr Copts?
22:21.50HachimanThe Egyptian Muslims
22:22.05ImpyDroidWell Egyptian Muslims think of themselves as Arabs, Copts do not, but the line is arbitrary
22:22.16ImpyDroidAs both speak Arabic but are not very Arabic genetically
22:22.22HachimanCopts think of themselves as African?
22:22.26XhoDepends on how much free will
22:22.30ImpyDroidThey think of themselves as Egyptian
22:22.33HachimanAh
22:22.34XhoHachiman: Christians if anything
22:22.37DrodoEmpirew e  w u s  k a n g s
22:22.44ImpyDroidLike Christians descended from ancient Egyptians
22:22.50HachimanRight
22:23.02XhoCoptic Church dropped heavy on dat shit
22:23.11ImpyDroidFor that matter the Egyptian Muslims are ALSO descended from ancient Egyptians
22:23.31DrodoEmpireD E Y  W U S  K A N G S
22:23.56XhoMonet: If you're a descendant of a Zhulultu you're likely to be designed to have no qualms in fulfilling a purpose you did not choose
22:23.59ImpyDroidThey are mostly former KANGS who converted during the Arab conquests, or born from Arabs ans KANG wives
22:24.01ImpyDroid*and
22:24.11DrodoEmpireRight
22:24.19ImpyDroidYou know the whole jizya thing, right?
22:24.23DrodoEmpireYes
22:24.30ImpyDroidThat was to Hachi
22:24.33DrodoEmpireOh
22:24.52HachimanI'm not entirely aware of the jizya thing
22:25.05XhoAfter a certain point in time the Zhulultu started spawning their own species through the amalgamation of the characteristics of their predecessors to give rise to even stronger Zhulultu
22:25.22ImpyDroidBasically, you are Christian or Jewish or Zoroastrian, you pay more taxes. You convert, you still pay taxes but less than before
22:25.39HachimanFuck that hur
22:25.44ImpyDroidSo people converted to get rid of taxation
22:25.55XhoZhuleshxi was basically a chimera of previous Zhulultu warlords and thus inherited their mental and physical characteristics
22:26.07XhoNot to mention the typical Tier 0 clarketech characteristics
22:26.11ImpyDroidMuhammad had da kunnin' plan
22:26.21HachimanMain reason I asked was because somebody referred to an Egyptian character in a manga / anime I like as a 'black guy' and I wanted to clarify whether 'black' was the right terminology used to refer to someone who, in all likelihood, is an Egyptian Muslim
22:27.04HachimanBased on the fact his name is 'Muhammad'
22:27.15ImpyDroidWell they can be black
22:27.20XhoAlthough since Zhuleshxi was probably one of the first generation Zhulultu he likely reconstructed himself throughout the ages by supplanting potential successors by assimilating their characteristics
22:27.28Xhoand*
22:27.29ImpyDroidFirst, Egyptian Arabs are themselves blacker than other Arabs
22:27.32ImpyDroidSave for the Yemeni
22:27.41ImpyDroidWhat with KANG blood flowing in their veins
22:30.05XhoA descendant species of the Zhulultu can't come from Zhuleshxi since a Zhulultu probably would have had to die granted the circumstances
22:30.20XhoAnd also a species coming from Zhuleshxi's DNA would be seriously fucked up
22:30.41ImpyDroidThen there are Sudanese people who are proper black and live next to Egypt, and their territory too was part of Ancient Egypt I believe
22:30.51ImpyDroidThey are descended from Nubians
22:31.28HachimanRight
22:31.53HachimanAlso I was wrong, turns out the character was drawn to be black and intentionally darker than other Egyptians and Arabs in the series
22:31.58ImpyDroidHachiman: Compare this Lebanese Arab guy http://data.whicdn.com/images/112622813/large.jpg
22:32.04HachimanSo yeah, black guy hur
22:32.15ImpyDroidTo this Egyptian Arab guy https://joshuaproject.net/assets/media/profiles/photos/p14643.jpg
22:32.16HachimanImpyDroid: dem abs
22:32.22Xhodat stache
22:32.45XhoHm, what name to come up for a species
22:33.01XhoXhalunesk was the first thing that came to mind
22:33.09ImpyDroidHow black are the Sudanese?
22:33.13HachimanXhousthoe
22:33.14ImpyDroidhttp://img.timeinc.net/time/daily/2011/1109/360_boswell_sudan_0902.jpg
22:33.16ImpyDroidWell
22:33.17Xhomofokka
22:33.42XhoImpyDroid: That's quite an impressive skin colour
22:34.05Monet<PROTECTED>
22:34.26XhoBut yeah Xhalunesk is the first idea
22:34.29XhoAny higher bids
22:34.33ImpyDroidApparently though despite being so black they consider themselves to be Arabs, as being Arab is more about language and culture rather than race
22:34.38ImpyDroidApparently
22:35.53ImpyDroidYes try to get it
22:35.59ImpyDroidhttps://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/ea/f4/a1/eaf4a1fe53652f8a9a786779d03d0b2c.jpg This is an Arab
22:36.01XhoNot that hard to get
22:36.16HachimanI haven't got any other suggestions unfortunately; Xhalunesk is a fairly decent name though
22:36.29DrodoEmpireAren't some Syrians and Iraqis basically white? I can't recall
22:36.46ImpyDroidhttp://cache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/sudan_06_13/sudan16.jpg This is also an Arab
22:36.53ImpyDroidDrodoEmpire: Them and the Lebanese
22:36.54DrodoEmpireI mean I can see why Syrians would be pretty pale, due to longtime Roman occupation and the Crusades
22:36.56DrodoEmpireAhh
22:37.17ImpyDroidLebanese are among with the Egyptians the most un-Arab Arabs
22:37.34ImpyDroidThey are mostly Phoenician by blood
22:38.16DrodoEmpireMakes sense
22:38.45ImpyDroidDrodoEmpire Hachiman: http://www.thehypertexts.com/images/Hoda%20Fadel.jpg I'd say that is white
22:38.53ImpyDroidThat is a Lebanese woman
22:38.55XhoAh fuck matrix IRC
22:38.59Xhosort dis pl9x
22:39.57ImpyDroidAlso, much like Egypt, Lebanon has a large Christian minority that does not consider itself Arab but speaks Arabic
22:40.09ImpyDroidExcept the Lebanese Maronites are FILTHY CATHOLICS
22:40.18ImpyDroidWhile Copts are GLORIOUS ORTHODOX
22:40.33DrodoEmpirehur
22:40.50DrodoEmpireYeah that's really white
22:40.56ImpyDroidlook at qt Lebanese plz
22:41.21ImpyDroidI think Palestinians are pretty pale too
22:41.27ImpyDroidThat sounds like a pun
22:42.06MonetShe has a touch of copper but other than that, yeah, white.
