04:08.31 | Spluff5 | Do any of you guys know a way to figure out what color the oceans on a planet would appear if they weren't filled with water? |
04:14.22 | DrodoEmpire | In Spore? |
04:15.10 | DrodoEmpire | Because I mean... Hate to say this kiddo but IRL an ocean without water is what we call "land" |
04:15.45 | DrodoEmpire | And land's either green or beige by my estimation |
04:15.50 | DrodoEmpire | <.< |
04:22.16 | Liquid_Ink | Isn't the sea floor largely sand and rock, so beiges and grey? |
04:22.36 | Liquid_Ink | Or do you mean different liquids, like ammonia or argon? |
04:22.42 | Liquid_Ink | Not argon |
04:22.45 | Liquid_Ink | Methane |
04:24.17 | Spluff5 | I mean ammonia in this case |
04:24.28 | DrodoEmpire | I dunno, I'm just being a dick |
04:24.35 | Spluff5 | I have a cold planet that has oceans of ammonia |
04:24.56 | DrodoEmpire | In either case I don't have a brilliant answer, somebody like Wormy or Ghel might be able to help but they aren't here |
04:25.19 | DrodoEmpire | I'm more of a history/geography sorta guy :p |
04:27.25 | Spluff5 | Yeah, I'm not there yet |
04:27.36 | DrodoEmpire | Ahh |
04:27.46 | DrodoEmpire | I could help with that if you wish, once you get there |
04:27.52 | Spluff5 | Although, that will be interesting with some of my species, especially the really alien ones |
04:28.14 | DrodoEmpire | I have a pretty good grasp of ancient societies, and especially military history and how the landscape affected history |
04:28.24 | DrodoEmpire | That sorta thing could be applied to aliens yeah |
04:29.01 | DrodoEmpire | I'd never say I'm an 'expert', far from it >.< but I read a lot in that sorta thing and it will be what I study |
04:32.45 | Spluff5 | There's was a lot of racism for the Virloyds between different flower colors so I'll probably ask you about that. |
04:33.30 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
04:33.33 | DrodoEmpire | Ethnic tensions |
04:36.43 | Spluff5 | Differently colored Virloyds can attract pollinators with varying degrees of success and so that what the opressors used as an excuse I think. |
04:36.56 | DrodoEmpire | Ahh |
04:37.00 | DrodoEmpire | Ah, damn |
04:37.08 | DrodoEmpire | Getting late, so I should go |

09:31.07 | Groxkiller98 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO8yvmIkwsw - Dear god, I wish this creator was on the wiki... |
09:31.36 | Groxkiller98 | She could rival Xho in flashness of her models! |
09:36.09 | Hachiman | Ah yes, I am subscribed to DarkEdge |
09:36.34 | Groxkiller98 | As am I. On Youtube and Spore. |
09:36.48 | Hachiman | Thing is, I believe she uses more mods than we usually do |
09:36.59 | Groxkiller98 | XD |
09:37.16 | Groxkiller98 | No doubt there. |
09:39.35 | Groxkiller98 | Still an awesome builder. |
09:41.30 | Hachiman | Of course |
09:46.31 | Tybusen | Actually, looking at her channel description, she's Rebecca1208 |
09:46.43 | Tybusen | Who I'm pretty sure was a SporeWiki user at one point long ago |
09:46.52 | Hachiman | Sounds familiar yes |
09:47.46 | Tybusen | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User%3ARebecca1208 here we are |
09:48.06 | Tybusen | last edit 6 years ago rip |
09:49.01 | Groxkiller98 | Wow... |
09:50.34 | Tybusen | Based on how that userpage is formatted, the last time she was here we didn't have the Darkspore wiki skin yet |
10:01.23 | Groxkiller98 | I'm still jealous of Rebbeca as a creator. >_> |
10:02.04 | Groxkiller98 | To be fair, though, I'm jealous of most people, including you lot, as creators. |
10:08.54 | Hachiman | I value people here more on their skill for writing rather than skill for modelling personally |
10:09.22 | Groxkiller98 | As do I, but you guys still make me jealous. |
10:09.36 | Groxkiller98 | In modeling AND writing. |
10:26.25 | Groxkiller98 | Say, is there any chance of the Xonexi Allies and Delpha Coalition of Planets falling into another conflict any time soon? |
10:29.53 | Ghelae | I would say no. |
10:30.42 | Liquid_Ink | I think Wormy wanted the DCP to rise again, but there aren't any formal plans so far |
10:30.42 | Groxkiller98 | Fair enough. |
10:31.31 | Groxkiller98 | Oh, Liquid, I was going to ask if you could help me work on my Essence-User's powers, since he's running on your one. |
10:31.43 | Liquid_Ink | Sure |

11:44.23 | Groxkiller98 | Hey, Oluap. |
11:47.40 | Hachiman | Groxkiller98: I would say that the War Clan would be more inclined to behave like World Eaters than Orks |
11:47.57 | Hachiman | Orks are not outright angry as they are boisterous and loud |
11:48.07 | Groxkiller98 | True. |
11:48.41 | Groxkiller98 | I wanna take a bit of Orks though, mix it with World Eaters. Maybe throw some Imperial Guard into it. |
11:49.01 | Hachiman | Eh, depends what you'd take I suppose |
11:49.43 | Groxkiller98 | Yeah. |
11:49.51 | Hachiman | A War Clan is supposed to be an organised military unit, right? 'Organised' and 'regimented', the most important aspects to a military unit, are not really aspects you'd associate with Orks |
11:50.00 | Groxkiller98 | Well, yeah. |
11:50.20 | Groxkiller98 | They might be one of the few that ran away to join the Xhodocto. Not that they'd be accepted by them. |
11:50.47 | Groxkiller98 | Basically, a few abandoned the Republic and decided to fight for the Xhodocto cults. |
11:51.03 | Hachiman | Right |
11:51.05 | Groxkiller98 | I'd say they're like a regiment of a Space Marine chapter. |
11:51.17 | Hachiman | You mean a Company? |
11:51.22 | Groxkiller98 | Yeah. |
11:51.54 | Groxkiller98 | And the few Xhodocto-aligned ones would be like Chaos Marines. |
11:52.17 | Hachiman | I'd take more basis from the World Eaters and / or Night Lords if you want violent, angry traitors with limited numbers in that case |
11:52.44 | Groxkiller98 | Right. Thanks for the suggestion! |
11:55.02 | Groxkiller98 | Orks are cool though. :3 |
11:55.28 | Groxkiller98 | The big War Boss points them somewhere, and they charge at it with a vague goal of "Have a good fight." |
11:55.42 | Hachiman | Orks are indeed cool |
11:55.57 | Groxkiller98 | Also... WAAAGH! :D |
11:57.14 | Groxkiller98 | And they also know the one truth! Never enough Dakka! |

14:14.53 | ImpyDroid | Well admittedlt |
14:15.20 | ImpyDroid | The other side is not better either |

14:17.05 | ImpyDroid | Some far-right groups criticise Pegida as a Jewish false-flag operation |

14:17.48 | ImpyDroid | Far-right groups screech as they call ordinary Islamophobes cowards for ignoring race |
14:18.16 | ImpyDroid | Or for example nationalists in Russia rise up against Putin because they deem him not authoritarian enough |
14:18.47 | ImpyDroid | Nationalism in Russia is very much fractured |

15:07.49 | NeonPanda | why is that a thing that's allowed to exist |
15:08.55 | Tek0516 | Because he can. This is the a class I've constantly been complaining about all term too. >.> |
15:09.21 | Tek0516 | There is two options for the exam. This one is the easy one. |
15:12.23 | OluapPlayer | In the words of Aristotle, u wot m8 |
15:13.51 | NeonPanda | I mean I've had a class that had 6 hours of exams, but it had to be broken into three separate exams due to regulations |
15:15.03 | Tek0516 | Well at the very least it's a "take home exam" (though the date, time and how long we have to do it are all fixed). But it means we get our notes, computers, we can even do it at home if we want. |
15:15.48 | Tek0516 | But it's still an estimated 8 hour exam with only 8 hours to do it. (I really hope I get enough of a margin to buy dinner. >.>) |

16:58.20 | Imperios | Regarding what? |
16:59.10 | Imperios | Like, what topic do you need RT sources for? |
17:00.20 | Charles_DC | Imperios : Just looking to cite the number of people that took part in the Immortal Regiment in 2015 |

17:10.42 | Charles_DC | champagne beats all of you |
17:10.53 | Imperios | It takes longer to get smashed |
17:10.58 | Imperios | Champagne: inferior |
17:11.17 | Charles_DC | At least it doesn't taste like rubbing alcohol |
17:11.26 | Charles_DC | :D |
17:11.27 | Imperios | Charles_DC: Something just struck me while I looked at the pic pic: the tricolour and the two-headed eagle flying alongside the sickle and hammer and the Red Banner |
17:12.04 | Imperios | Also remember Russians can also make champagne |
17:12.24 | Charles_DC | Well actually you can't |
17:12.39 | Charles_DC | Champagne doesn't refer to a kind of drink or process |
17:12.49 | Charles_DC | It literally refers to the region in France where you make it |
17:13.16 | Charles_DC | So unless you want to invade Champagne with little green men, hold a referendum, and annex it, Russia isn't making champagne anytime soon |
17:13.17 | DanzaDelMondo | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovetskoye_Shampanskoye THE SOVIET UNION DISREGARDS YOUR PUNY BOURGEOSIE LAWS |
17:13.42 | Charles_DC | lol |
17:14.05 | DanzaDelMondo | Yes I was referring to this weird situation where we have "Soviet champagne" that isn't actually from Champagne |
17:29.50 | Imperios | Charles_DC: According to tass, there were circa 1100 municipalities participating in Immortal Regiment 2015 |
17:30.24 | DanzaDelMondo | http://tass.ru/obschestvo/1944899 |
17:30.39 | Imperios | Though that counts countries outside of Russia |
17:38.59 | dino82_ | lol |
17:40.07 | Tek0516 | Charles_DC: So if Sporewiki France has abandoned Earth, doesn't that mean no more Champagne? :P ...then again those types probably made a planet Champagne. |
17:41.09 | Charles_DC | I blame Wormy |
17:41.15 | Charles_DC | Nobody gets champagne anymore |
17:41.42 | dino82_ | why need champagn if you have wine, whisky or rum?:P |
17:41.44 | dino82_ | Or ale! |
17:41.58 | NeonPanda | champagne is just bubbly white with a really expensive name tag anyway :P |
17:42.03 | Charles_DC | hey |
17:42.21 | NeonPanda | well I'm not wrong |
17:42.58 | Tek0516 | ...I'm now imagining all the French alcohol makers naming a planet Champagne and producing the Empire's supply entirely in that system. |
17:43.17 | Charles_DC | That's probably what happened |
17:43.25 | dino82_ | Personally i must admit as well, I can't tolerate champagne really well.........................:P |
17:43.39 | dino82_ | @Tek: Or an entire Champagne System or Sector |
17:43.51 | Charles_DC | "champagne sector" |
17:43.58 | Charles_DC | I think we'll stick to a planet xD |
17:44.19 | Tek0516 | Nuke that planet and France loses all its alcohol. |
17:44.26 | NeonPanda | if I cared enough I'd start coming up with an appropriately Australian nickname for it |
17:44.47 | Tek0516 | That's France's true weak point. |
17:45.02 | dino82_ | I would defeintaly want an entire sector for it! You can name planets for the differant branches |
17:45.03 | dino82_ | :P |
17:45.18 | dino82_ | Lke anentire sector of planets devoted and dedicated in making one kind of alcohol |
17:45.19 | dino82_ | champagne |
17:45.22 | dino82_ | imagen that |
17:45.47 | dino82_ | Tactical seen, it migh be one of the most interessting and benefital sectors to occupy and conquer :P |

17:55.27 | Tek0516 | Hello Impy with wierd names. |
17:58.21 | Charles_DC | France - Really guys |
17:58.27 | Charles_DC | France - We're not the british |
17:58.44 | Charles_DC | France - We can go without our national beverage for a couple months |
17:59.32 | dino82_ | Lol |
18:02.38 | Tek0516 | ...neat, I got randomly selected to get my meal for free. |
18:03.13 | Charles_DC | France - Also our entire economy is not just alcohol |
18:03.19 | Charles_DC | France - We're not Russia either :P |
18:05.56 | dino82_ | Well France has very nice and delicious wines as well |
18:06.02 | dino82_ | with cheese plank |
18:06.03 | dino82_ | yummie |
18:06.11 | dino82_ | or baquettes with Nutella on it or so |
18:10.15 | sf | Baguettes are the best |
18:10.35 | Imperios | IT is the superior form of bread |
18:10.41 | Imperios | Alongside Armenian flatbread |
18:10.56 | Imperios | But that spoils easily |
18:11.09 | Imperios | Maybe Latin American flatbread too but I only ever tasted it in Spain |
18:11.18 | Imperios | It was like Armenian lavash but with a weird taste |
18:11.20 | Imperios | But a good one |
18:11.51 | Imperios | You know it's orange/yellow-ish and they add something there |
18:12.00 | Imperios | I wonder what it is |
18:12.03 | Imperios | ~ask OluapPlayer |
18:12.03 | infobot | Nope, imperios! I won't ask "OluapPlayer" |
18:12.11 | OluapPlayer | wut |
18:13.22 | Imperios | What is usually added into Latin American tortillas? |
18:13.33 | Imperios | Like, corn or something? |
18:13.56 | Imperios | Or not tortillas, flatbread in general |

18:15.05 | Imperios | Cyrannian: I like the little chest thing, makes her/him look Star Wars-y |
18:16.07 | OluapPlayer | Looks good |
18:16.17 | Cyrannian | Thanks, it's based on the Sith Empire uniforms in SWTOR http://alphacorner.eu/download/torbugs/uni_red.jpg |
18:16.42 | OluapPlayer | And I wouldn't know, I don't eat tortillas |

18:33.32 | Charles_DC | Imperios : lel |
18:42.39 | Charles_DC | Imperios: So the immortal regiment is a patriotic organization? |
18:42.44 | Charles_DC | (Of what kind?) |
18:42.50 | Imperios | Not as much as an organisation as an initiative |
18:43.04 | Imperios | The actual amount of active members is very small |
18:43.24 | Imperios | It's basically, you want to participate, you go, take a portrait, and join in |
18:44.27 | Charles_DC | Of course |
18:44.33 | Charles_DC | Though I meant, who organizes it? |
18:45.22 | Charles_DC | (i.e., decides where it will be, gets the streets cleared out, advertises, etc) |
18:45.35 | Imperios | There are a few cordinators who do it |
18:45.38 | Imperios | http://moypolk.ru/popechitelskij-sovet here we go |
18:45.42 | Charles_DC | Danke |
18:45.59 | Imperios | "The caretaker council" |
18:46.10 | Charles_DC | Thank god for google translate |
18:47.08 | Imperios | Hell, if you want I could try to contact one of the coordinators |
18:47.20 | Imperios | BTW once your paper is done I want to see it |
18:48.51 | Imperios | These are very few, and according to the website any attempts to further organise the initiative are forbidden |
18:49.00 | Imperios | Or to politicise it |
18:49.15 | Imperios | http://moypolk.ru/gauptvahta Apparently violations of this rule are gathered here, you may read it |

19:54.30 | Charles_DC | Oh my |
19:54.46 | Charles_DC | DONE |
19:54.50 | Charles_DC | 12 pages |
19:54.54 | Charles_DC | I can finally turn this in |
19:54.59 | Charles_DC | And it's actually not that bad |
19:55.04 | Imperios | SHOW ME |
19:55.13 | Charles_DC | nein |
19:55.16 | Imperios | nu |
19:55.18 | Imperios | Won't show anyone |
19:55.21 | Charles_DC | It's still far from my best work |
19:55.37 | Imperios | I just want to see your opinions within the work |
19:55.39 | Charles_DC | And is a far cry from what I would actually be able to write if I had time and sources |
19:55.54 | Imperios | So, how I do courseworks |
19:56.02 | Imperios | *that is how |
19:56.15 | Imperios | If you saw my works your eyes would bleed |
19:56.38 | Charles_DC | Thing is, the way I write and argue, my 'opinion' rarely comes into it |
19:57.17 | Charles_DC | My opinion is that it's a complex situation with lots of different mechanics, narratives, and actors at play, and it's much more productive to understand those things on their own terms than to draw value judgments |
19:57.36 | Imperios | But your understanding of it is in itself interesting |
19:57.45 | Charles_DC | Rite, I'll think about it |
19:57.47 | Imperios | IT shows how the West perceives our celebrations of Victory Day |
19:57.54 | Charles_DC | I'm not the West :( |
19:58.00 | Imperios | You're part of it |
19:58.07 | Imperios | You're from California, that's literally as West as you can ge |
19:58.09 | Imperios | t |
19:58.15 | Charles_DC | I've met Russians who've told me I know more about Russia than they do |
19:59.09 | Imperios | Not me, from my point of view you are still a cyka |
19:59.36 | Charles_DC | :( |
19:59.39 | Imperios | As in, your opinions are still part of the overall opinion of your surroundings, even if they are more refined as the rest |
19:59.56 | Charles_DC | Well, most people disagree with me if that help xD |
19:59.57 | Imperios | Actually |
19:59.58 | Charles_DC | helps* |
20:00.26 | Imperios | Is the whole idea of Trump mending ties with Russia feasible? Our mass media circulate it, as do right-wing sources from the West |
20:00.37 | Imperios | I do not believe in it, he is merely a single cog in the machine |
20:01.04 | Imperios | Can't change that much and I doubt he really wants it |
20:01.04 | Charles_DC | I'm in full gear to go out into the snow so I'm overheating here, can't give that question the attention it deserves |
20:01.21 | Charles_DC | But I think it's going to be a bit complicated, but it's feasible |
20:01.53 | Charles_DC | Geopolitically, there's an argument to be made that Russia and the US should cooperate to counterbalance China |
20:02.48 | Charles_DC | In terms of foreign policy, the executive has a lot of wriggle room when it comes to making policy for the US, engaging in treaties, directing military involvement, etc |
20:03.50 | Imperios | Huh |
20:03.51 | Charles_DC | But in terms of domestic politics, Trump's base is pretty 'meh' about the whole Russia thing and would probably let him do what he wants. The Republican party itself is hardline against Russia given its recent actions against the US |
20:04.19 | Charles_DC | The Democrats and their supporters are livid |
20:04.37 | Imperios | That is what interests me |
20:05.10 | Imperios | It is like the conservatives in America are torn apart between acting against their traditional enemy, and joining with them against the new one |
20:05.29 | Charles_DC | Yeah, in a way |
20:05.32 | Technobliterator | I still think the Russian hack thing is just bullshit |
20:05.43 | Technobliterator | and will continue to believe that until some concrete and legitimate evidence is made public |
20:05.49 | Charles_DC | Uh |
20:05.51 | Charles_DC | It has |
20:05.54 | Charles_DC | And I'm out |
20:05.57 | Technobliterator | Where? |
20:06.00 | Charles_DC | NYT |
20:06.12 | Technobliterator | I mean, where's the evidence made public? |
20:06.16 | Imperios | Well I am happy either way, duh |
20:06.41 | Technobliterator | All I know about is just unnamed sources in the CIA |
20:07.16 | Charles_DC | Hold on, the NYT wrote a novel about this which basically lays it all out |
20:07.28 | Imperios | Either the US are shitting their pants trying to scapegoat us, or we succesfully fucked up their election system |
20:08.25 | Charles_DC | Here it is http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/13/us/politics/russia-hack-election-dnc.html |
20:09.20 | Charles_DC | All 17 US intelligence agencies (all independently operating and with their own investigations/jurisdictions/prerogatives) have come out with the consensus that Russia was behind hacks during the election |
20:09.22 | Imperios | Either way I can cackle evilly in the corner |
20:09.41 | Imperios | Wait, do you mean |
20:09.48 | Imperios | Do you mean Putin actually altered the votes? |
20:09.52 | Charles_DC | nononono |
20:09.59 | Imperios | Oh you mean the data leaks |
20:10.18 | Charles_DC | Yes, the doxxing |

20:18.26 | Technobliterator | Maybe I'm missing something, but so far, I don't see any concrete, or any named source from any of the intelligence agencies, so I will remain highly skeptical |
20:18.43 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |

20:22.45 | Technobliterator | oh wait |
20:22.49 | Technobliterator | that's exactly what happened |
20:23.51 | Charles_Bot | It's really sad indeed when public trust in our institutions, which are built to exact the maximum political cost on those caught lying and cheating, have fallen to the point when such a resounding cry for wolf doesn't sound alarm bells and mobilize the nation against a genuine infringement of sovereignty >.< |
20:24.00 | Charles_Bot | And no, not really >.< |
20:24.15 | Charles_Bot | We've been over this |
20:24.36 | Technobliterator | I think it's more sad that media outlets and the government have done so little to earn the trust of the public |
20:24.41 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah... |
20:25.01 | Technobliterator | and that we're getting more Cold War propaganda when no one wants to enter a war with Russia |
20:25.22 | DrodoEmpire | Boo fucking hoo people don't like the current state of the institutions, Charles. |
20:25.24 | DrodoEmpire | I'll be honest |
20:25.45 | Xho | I'm gonna make the Edimmu and see what happens |
20:26.09 | Technobliterator | I don't doubt the possibility of the hack or Putin's motivations behind it |
20:26.22 | Technobliterator | but I want to see proof before we start calling for a nuke launched at Moscow |
20:26.31 | DrodoEmpire | Well, yeah, its within the realms of possibility |
20:26.40 | Charles_Bot | <PROTECTED> |
20:26.41 | DrodoEmpire | But extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence |
20:26.52 | Technobliterator | and the article does make mention of some relevant times that cyber attacks have been used by foreign governments |

20:34.07 | Tybusen | \o/ |
20:34.16 | Xho | Thing is there isn't much to talk about fictionwise unless I start talking and no one ever replies anyway |
20:34.27 | Xho | Xho's long-winded monologues on how inaccesible his fiction gets |
20:34.42 | Technobliterator | I have more work to do, but after that, I want to do Borealis War again |
20:34.44 | Technobliterator | By the way |
20:34.45 | Xho | not my fault ur all dum |
20:34.50 | Technobliterator | Imperios, Borealis War :| |
20:34.50 | OluapPlayer | You've no one but yourself to blame for that |
20:35.03 | Imperios | I am actually currently writing my section up |
20:35.07 | Technobliterator | \o/ |
20:35.08 | Imperios | It is about 50% done |
20:35.11 | Hachiman | I just don't post stuff about my fiction much anymore considering that the Fantasyverse isn't really considered relevant to anyone but a small group of people |
20:35.14 | Hachiman | Which is unfortunate |
20:35.48 | Xho | Well my Fictionverse stuff actually is accesible since it's sort of active |
20:35.50 | Xho | Fantasyverse, well |
20:35.59 | Xho | Either way I'm gone by this time next year |
20:36.04 | Hachiman | Plus whatever Fictionverse stuff I do have is disconnected from the recent going-ons in the Gigaquadrant thus also considered not really relevant |
20:36.33 | Tybusen | I've said this before, but I've thought about trying to get into Fantasyverse but it's so difficult to get with the times in the Fantasyverse since I haven't been keeping up and Fantasyverse stories are so thick |
20:36.42 | Imperios | Charles_DC Technobliterator: Then again about Hillary, considering how much stuff TRUMP was accused of, I'd say it's far |
20:36.44 | Imperios | fare |
20:36.50 | Imperios | I mean he was accused of fucking rape for God's sake |
20:36.57 | Xho | It's a bit of a sod to get into I guess if were to look from the outside |
20:37.22 | Xho | It's mostly Oluap + Hachi and then Xho and Imperios on the side and then other users who come and go |
20:37.57 | Hachiman | Tybusen: Mostly why I decided to try focusing on a new cast of characters because they're about as clueless of the world as the users are hur |
20:38.07 | Tybusen | I have no idea which Fantasy stories are the ones that are "essential" to be up to date on Fantasy, and even then every single one is really long |
20:38.22 | Xho | Eschaton is a bit dated now |
20:38.34 | Hachiman | Yeah, Eschaton is incredibly long yet also a bit dated due to how long ago it started |
20:38.39 | Xho | Bascially the world was saved from the god of destruction and everything went into geopolitical reverse |
20:39.00 | OluapPlayer | Everything = only your stuff |
20:39.12 | Xho | Pretty much |
20:39.32 | Hachiman | I don't think people ask for enough help when they're getting into the Fantasyverse though |
20:39.42 | Xho | Would make sense Talmyr is the only setting on Koldenwelt that is geopolitically fucked up |
20:39.49 | Xho | And Abyssus |
20:40.12 | Hachiman | There seems to be an impression that the Fantasyverse users are unwilling to explain stuff or answer questions and leave you to try and find out shit for yourself |
20:40.30 | Tybusen | It's mostly that I look at how thick the Fantasyverse lore is, and I never get to the point of having enough motivation to get to the "asking for help" stage |
20:40.50 | Xho | There's still a lot of space for lore when one thinks about it |
20:41.14 | Hachiman | Honestly, it's easier if you have a comparatively younger nation |
20:41.20 | Xho | When everyone thinks of lore it's usually the mythological end, but the mythological end of the matter doesn't k f |
20:41.21 | Xho | fucking |
20:41.34 | Xho | When everyone thinks of lore it's usually the mythological end, but the mythological end of the matter doesn't influence much other than small parts of fiction |
20:41.40 | Xho | Unless it's the Vampire War or Eschaton |
20:41.49 | Xho | Then it's Simulacra everywhere |
20:42.34 | Hachiman | There is a History segment on the Koldenwelt page which summarises a lot of the events leading up to the New Age and what has been going on in the past few decades |
20:42.59 | Xho | There's a shitload of stuff that could be filled in between 5000 BNA and the present day |
20:43.13 | Xho | so that's about 5035 years give or take |
20:43.31 | Imperios | Tybusen: Try to focus on one particular region |
20:43.37 | Imperios | And approach users mostly from this region |
20:43.46 | Tybusen | Ultimately I think it's also that I don't have a lot of room on my platter for fiction since I have to continue with the First Bunsen War remake, stop dropping the ball on Marko Colonial War, and hopefully start doing some Spodist stuff with Impy |
20:43.49 | Xho | Granted it's not as easy if you're talking about elves or dragons because 5000 years looks more like 500 years |
20:44.02 | Imperios | You could easily give us the idea and we could provide help about how it could be put into the greater 'verse |
20:44.36 | Tybusen | Well I mean like |
20:44.46 | Tybusen | I already have a Fantasy faction, but I haven't updated them in years |
20:45.06 | Xho | Procedure would mean they're not canon at this point I'm afraid |
20:45.14 | Tybusen | Yeah that's what I assumed |
20:45.46 | Tybusen | The history I wrote for them was based on the Fantasy history from a few years ago |
20:45.56 | Tybusen | Which I assume is outdated |

20:51.42 | Tybusen | I think it's more that I have other fiction commitments and so I'd have to put any Fantasy stuff on the backburner, including any Fantasy stories to get my Fantasy characters established |
20:53.50 | Xho | Heck do you what you want |
20:53.56 | Xho | It's a fanfiction site after all |
20:54.36 | Tybusen | well i mean yeah |
20:56.36 | Tybusen | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Creature:Razoa I don't know if there's any glaring disparities between this history and the general Koldenwelt history |
20:58.10 | Xho | No disparities I can see |
20:58.54 | Hachiman | Nothing glaring |
20:59.04 | Xho | Although I might need to change the Orayu a bit |
20:59.18 | Hachiman | Although I'll suggest that Razoa using adamantine weapons might make surface-dwellers uneasy |
20:59.30 | Hachiman | Given that adamantine is inherently antimagical |
20:59.35 | Xho | Razoa - deep sea mandem |
20:59.59 | Tybusen | I think that's fine |
21:00.29 | Tybusen | The Razoa are relatively reclusive and don't really bother people who don't share coastline with them |
21:00.54 | Hachiman | You say they're located in the south sea around the Archipelago, right? |
21:01.04 | Tybusen | Yeah, that's where I originally had them |
21:01.08 | Hachiman | They could have contact with the Khargrim Greatholds - that is, southern dwarves |
21:01.40 | Hachiman | Which would be immensely beneficial for both parties given that the Khargrim are fellow industrialists |
21:02.14 | Tybusen | I could see them having a trade relationship |
21:02.46 | Hachiman | The Khargrim holds would also be a good place for Razoa adventurers to start off at |
21:03.06 | Xho | I was wondering who that was |
21:03.12 | Xho | And now I'm wondering why I am surprised |
21:03.21 | Tybusen | There might be some of the typical dwarf-elf tension since the Razoa are essentially deep-sea elves in terms of culture |
21:05.02 | Tybusen | I had two Razoa characters who would be capable of journeying further inland than most Razoa, since they came up with the miraculous invention of a bucket of water on wheels |
21:05.12 | Hachiman | Oh wow hur |
21:05.35 | Hachiman | The Khargrim like you so long as you aren't rampant, oppressive slavers and adamantine is a highly valuable and extremely rare resource to come across for modern surface-dwellers, which would give them more reason to like you if you're willing to share it with them |
21:06.10 | Hachiman | They also don't like snobbery even though they're kinda snobby themselves at times |
21:06.38 | Xho | Welcome to the delight of hypocrisy |
21:06.55 | Tybusen | P R O J E C T I O N |
21:07.24 | Xho | I D O N T G E T T H I S M E M E |
21:07.39 | Xho | No seriously I don't get it |
21:07.57 | DrodoEmpire | M E N E I T H E R B U T F U C K I F I N D I T F U N N Y |
21:08.17 | Tybusen | But yeah I don't think the Razoa would have a problem sharing some adamantium with the Khargrim, though not a lot since the Razoa don't have a lot of their own natural sources of it |
21:08.41 | Tybusen | They've gotten most of it from adamantium tools and weapons from old wars being swept into the ocean |
21:08.42 | Xho | I wonder whether's its possible to create arcanised substances through sacrifice |
21:08.52 | Xho | Well I guess it is since phylacteries exist |
21:09.07 | Xho | nevermind |
21:10.31 | Tybusen | Also I suppose it's worth noting that there was a Fantasy short story called "Ad Mala Aurorum" that had the Razoa involved in Arbor Vitae's final efforts in the War of the Eye |

21:10.56 | Xho | helpful feesh |
21:11.03 | The_Randomness | Hello |
21:11.57 | Xho | Hi |
21:13.24 | Tybusen | Also, based on Ad Mala Aurorum, the Razoa would know the location of Mala Aurorum |
21:13.45 | Tybusen | Or at least, a couple of Razoa would know |
21:15.01 | Xho | surely it should be Arbor Aurorum if Arbor Vitae turned into a tree or is it just one giant golden apple |
21:15.07 | Xho | Ghelae: I forget |
21:15.32 | Tybusen | I mean "Ad Mala Aurorum" would literally just mean "at Mala Aurorum" |
21:16.08 | Xho | I know I'm just going off on a tangent |

21:33.34 | DrodoEmpire | So apparently in the middle ages a Christian monk wrote a prayer book using the pages of an old manuscript, scraping off the original content and writing over it |
21:34.24 | DrodoEmpire | This old manuscript, however, turned out to be a previously unknown work by Archimedes which laid out the foundations of Calculus |
21:34.27 | DrodoEmpire | So, you know |
21:34.29 | DrodoEmpire | fuck |
21:34.50 | NeonPanda | ah Christians, so arbitrary the things they write down |
21:34.56 | NeonPanda | how to make a self-contained bullet, for example |
21:35.19 | Tybusen | D A R K A G E S |
21:35.33 | Xho | Wow |
21:35.43 | NeonPanda | which, despite the name, were actually pretty light, at least for half the time when the sun was shining :P |
21:36.07 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
21:36.16 | Tybusen | But then it depends on if you see the age as half-light or half-dark |
21:36.48 | NeonPanda | but seriously the dark ages weren't actually as bad as we originally thought, hence the term falling out of popularity somewhat |
21:37.09 | DrodoEmpire | Well yeah, they weren't an 100% shithole by any means |
21:37.10 | Xho | Well Christianity did rule |
21:37.16 | DrodoEmpire | That was the migration period |
21:37.16 | Xho | So depending on your take of it |
21:37.23 | DrodoEmpire | Migration Period was an 100% shithole |
21:37.27 | Xho | c |
21:38.00 | DrodoEmpire | Well Christianity also did a lot to preserve ancient knowledge and provide social stability after the collapse of the Roman Empire |
21:38.18 | DrodoEmpire | It allowed a continuity of this knowledge and to an extent to old social order |
21:38.27 | DrodoEmpire | *the old social order |
21:38.52 | NeonPanda | and it managed to not *completely* fuck up Islamic centres of research until the Renaissance |
21:39.14 | Tybusen | Well I mean |
21:39.21 | Tybusen | the Mongols beat them to the punch on that |
21:39.50 | DrodoEmpire | Well yeah, the Islamic world had an important function in preserving, translating, and then applying ancient knowledge that was lost in the west |
21:40.07 | DrodoEmpire | And then the Renaissance happened and Europe did the same thing |
21:40.09 | NeonPanda | I still find it hilarious how significant various christian monks were to the invention of automatic firearms |
21:40.17 | DrodoEmpire | hur |

21:48.13 | Spluff5 | Hi |
21:49.04 | DrodoEmpire | Hi |
21:51.34 | Xho | IH |
22:13.55 | Ghelae | Xho: There's a chance I might have done the Latin wrong. |
22:14.16 | Ghelae | Although Arbor didn't turn into a tree (or an apple); the place is named after the golden apple trees there. |
22:14.29 | Xho | hm |
22:18.52 | Ghelae | It's supposed to just mean "golden apples". But, not speaking Latin, I just Wiktionary to get the translation. |
22:19.14 | Xho | Well it is golden apples |
22:19.22 | Xho | Imperios is the one to talk to |
22:27.44 | Ghelae | And yes, Tybusen, some Razoa would know the location of Mala Aurorum, but reading over it again I'm struggling to think of what I was implying there. |
22:29.00 | Ghelae | Apparently, discussing it in the open is dangerous, even though if it's in the open they can see that there's nobody else listening in, and it's only stated that there's a single squad of Razoa there. |
22:30.18 | Ghelae | Either way, it's implied that only one of those Razoa knew where it is. |
22:32.53 | Ghelae | And this reminds me, I still need to add the Khargrim to the Archipelago page. |
22:33.03 | Ghelae | opens up the page in a tab and decides he'll do it tomorrow |
22:34.17 | NeonPanda | oh god, Cthulian christmas carols |
22:34.22 | NeonPanda | I need a book of these |
22:36.15 | Tybusen | I think I've decided that the Razoa have to be low magic affinity if they're going to incorporate discarded adamantium into their arsenal as much as they do |
22:36.51 | Tybusen | That's how adamantium would work, right? |
22:40.30 | Xho | More or less |
22:44.55 | Ghelae | The story was written before a lot of the lore was established, including the antimagical properties of adamantine, so it can be changed if you want it to be. I'm sure there are other metals that could take its place. |
22:46.01 | OluapPlayer | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki%3AFantasy_Universe/The_Source#Adamantine |
22:46.07 | Xho | http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/spore/images/0/09/Edimmu2017.png/revision/latest?cb=20161215224537 So I made the Edimmu in the end |
22:48.39 | Tybusen | I'm fine with the Razoa being a limited-magic species, I mean one of the Razoa characters I had pretty much touts science and technology as the future |
23:08.44 | Xho | I have a feeling that something that looks similar to the Edimmu are already on the wiki |
23:08.45 | Xho | hm |
23:11.44 | Liquid_Ink | I don't think so |
23:12.58 | Tybusen | Someone who knows biology good, what's the typical result of an organism having a low concentration of electrolytes than what's normal? |
23:13.28 | Tybusen | I was thinking anemia might be an effect in animals but I don't know if that's correct |
23:15.07 | Monet | It's similar |
23:16.37 | Monet | I can't remember the term but a low electrolyte concentration can cause RBCs to burst |
23:17.37 | Monet | Electrolyte deprivation can also impair muscles and neurons form functionign at peak effectiveness. |
23:45.05 | Monet | Looking at DoW II again |
23:45.16 | Monet | According to RPS, Gorgutz is bak |
23:50.34 | OluapPlayer | He's been confirmed since the game was announced |
23:51.52 | Monet | https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/12/15/dawn-of-war-3-gorgutz-ork/ you can read the RPS article if you like. |
23:53.16 | OluapPlayer | Yeah I saw that before |
23:53.21 | OluapPlayer | He looks cool |
23:56.07 | Monet | 6 hours ago. |
