00:00.01Wormy__I know what Xho's saying.  He is asking "How parochial is it" to imagine Tier 2 civs fighting with mechs, and not something less chauvinistic to the present (I don't know... warring nanoplagues, but even thast might be parochial)
00:00.06ImperiosRemind me
00:00.14ImperiosIs there a situation where mechs are actually useful
00:00.36Wormy__Of course warfare has universal rules that might not change much, but the parochials can change
00:00.55Wormy__Unfortunately regarding any higher tiers one is faced with parochials
00:02.07Wormy__The tier scale tries to use energy consumption, and indeecthe ways of harnessing that energy, which is far more limited, as a universal basis
00:02.31DrodoEmpireImperios: Bigger mechs are inefficient
00:02.40DrodoEmpireBut they can have their uses
00:03.25DrodoEmpireMechs not *too* much bigger than power-armour could be pretty good, but a tank can often pack as much, or more, firepower in a smaller package
00:03.30Wormy__They can move around in complex enironments I suppose, but so can many other shapes
00:03.42DrodoEmpireThan a massive mech that is
00:04.01DrodoEmpirePlus massive mechs are big juicy targets for artillery and air support
00:04.01Wormy__Some leading robotricist made a robot that uses wheels and legs to move about
00:04.45ImperiosWormy_: So in, say, a forest
00:05.12NeonPandaI think people also lost track of what I was saying: MERCENARIES
00:05.21NeonPandaas in, five to ten guys with mechs selling themselves out
00:05.26DrodoEmpireI think mechs would be more useful in hilly or mountainous terrain
00:05.30DrodoEmpireRight
00:05.59NeonPandathat sort of force in a backwater nation on the bitch-end of the tech scale would be well in for work
00:06.52DrodoEmpireOr a private interest of some sort, be it an especially wealthy person or family

00:18.54Wormy__Imperios:  That's Monkey Dust
00:19.01Wormy__fab show
00:19.30ImperiosI remember watching it as a tween, I did not even know what "pedophilia" was
00:19.45ImperiosI assumed it to be another word for homosexuality
00:20.25Wormy__Racist tomato https://youtu.be/tBKq32Fuubo?t=20s
00:20.28Liquid_InkAren't the two words in Russian nearly identical?
00:21.01ImperiosLiquid_Ink: Kind of, the common slang word for homosexuals is a corruption of "pederast"
00:21.13Imperiospronounced like "pidoras"
00:21.34ImperiosI saw the common stem, put two and two together, it took me a while to understand what it actually meant
00:21.55Wormy__"Oh don't be so politically correct.  I find it funny"

00:29.47DrodoEmpireayy lmao

00:31.51ImperiosWait where does that put Trump
00:31.57ImperiosWhat Chaos god does he represent
00:32.44Wormy__Isn't there meant to be another one emerging?
00:32.57Wormy__Trump could be the Warp itself
00:33.35ImperiosMaking something great again is ambition, so Tzeentch
00:33.48HachimanTrump is Malal because he's anti-establishment
00:34.00ImperiosOr that
00:34.24ImperiosWouldn't say he's truly anti-estabilishment however, considering his choices for the administration
00:34.32ImperiosBut I'd rather not go for that
00:34.37Liquid_InkBut he isn't, he just used anti-establishment to get what he wanted
00:34.38Imperios*go deeper into that
00:34.44ImperiosHe's a populist yes
00:34.45HachimanI was making a joke
00:34.47Liquid_Ink*anti-establishment rhetoric
00:34.58Wormy__Trump is going to be the source of a universe of pardoes and memes, well done USA
00:35.05Wormy__parodies
00:35.14ImperiosWormy__: It's going to be a tradition AFAIK
00:35.20ImperiosBlaasfdafa
00:35.50ImperiosWhat I meant to say it is almost a tradition amongst presidents
00:36.12Wormy__Indeed, but some like Bush are easier to make fun of
00:36.45ImperiosWormy__: Just curious, what do your relatives and friends think of Trump?
00:36.58ImperiosQuite a few people I know are downright ecstatic he won
00:37.04ImperiosAlyona and my mother among them
00:37.14Wormy__<PROTECTED>
00:37.24Wormy__<PROTECTED>
00:37.51ImperiosThough this is understandable
00:38.07ImperiosI mean Trump means no further conflicts against the USA
00:38.26ImperiosThis means no Russian flags over the White House, which is a bad thing
00:38.32Hachimanbut trump and putins are dictators waaaaah
00:38.41ImperiosBut this also means no Moscow reduced to radioactive ash
00:38.49ImperiosSo, probably for better
00:39.09ImperiosHachiman: See, THAT is why we love him
00:39.14Wormy__<PROTECTED>
00:39.21HachimanNobody seems to understand that Putin is actually the hero that Europe needs - not necessarily the one it deserves
00:39.50DrodoEmpireEh
00:39.59DrodoEmpirePutin isn't as bad as people like to think he is
00:40.01ImperiosWormy__ Hachiman: All the "Trump is an evil dictator allied in Russia" propaganda backfired on us, because it makes him look like a HERO to Russians
00:40.06DrodoEmpireHe's obviously a skilled statesman
00:40.12DrodoEmpireBut that doesn't make him a good person
00:40.17ImperiosPutin's much less competent than what people say, that I can say for sure
00:40.21Wormy__<PROTECTED>
00:40.23ImperiosHis figure is massively overblown
00:40.25HachimanDoesn't mean his intentions aren't good
00:40.33ImperiosWait are we serious here
00:40.35ImperiosOr like joking
00:40.40HachimanPartially joking
00:40.54HachimanAlthough Turkey deserves to get its shit wrecked
00:40.57ImperiosWell, not even sure what Putin really wants tbh
00:41.08DrodoEmpireWormy__: The vacuum which, in terms of white nationalism, is fast closing thanks to the alt-right completely consuming itself
00:41.48DrodoEmpireIt had no direction post-trump and anti-establishment people were quick to jump off the alt-right bandwagon when its true core of white nationalism and naziism was revealed
00:41.50Wormy__Is it?  Tell me more?  Factional infighting?  Or just getting bored?
00:42.24ImperiosDrodoEmpire: TBH, I think that Trump is a blow AGAINST fascism
00:42.24DrodoEmpireFactional infighting, and the fact that everybody who identified as "alt-right" but weren't actually alt right were quick to abandon the labe;
00:42.25DrodoEmpire*label
00:42.46DrodoEmpireYeah in a lot of ways he was
00:42.51ImperiosNow the moderate right majority is placated, and the far right cannot rile them to take power
00:42.58DrodoEmpireHe was a huge fuck-you to the American establishment
00:43.05DrodoEmpireYes, and that
00:43.11DrodoEmpireI have few concerns about Trump
00:43.17DrodoEmpireI have many about the Republicans
00:43.22ImperiosSo unless Trump himself turns out to be a far-right nut, which I sincerely hope he won't be
00:43.25ImperiosWe're safe
00:43.27DrodoEmpireHe isn't
00:43.32ImperiosWell the Americans are
00:43.33HachimanTrump fucking loves America so
00:43.38DrodoEmpireHe definitely isn't far-right
00:43.47Wormy__<PROTECTED>
00:43.54ImperiosWormy__: Heh
00:44.07ImperiosMy dad's very skeptical towards any changes with Trump
00:44.09Wormy__<PROTECTED>
00:44.39Charles_MurrayHe's a Jacksonian
00:44.53Wormy__Generally my family see no change happening in the US or the UK, and blame it on the neoliberal monoliths.
00:44.59ImperiosHe says he remembers an actor being elected President and is certain no President will be able to severely improve or damage the US after that
00:45.03Wormy__And lack of choice to vote
00:45.11DrodoEmpireCharles_Murray: Who, Trump?
00:45.15Charles_MurrayAye
00:45.18Wormy__Given that they all have similar agenda
00:45.48DrodoEmpireI dunno if his dedication to the King of Pop is quite *that* strong, Charles.
00:48.31ImperiosAs for Putin
00:48.38ImperiosI do not even know what he wants
00:48.42ImperiosPresumably just to stay in power
00:49.11ImperiosHe has a few militant advisors like Dugin, so presumably his more aggressive actions were on their behalf
00:49.28Liquid_InkThat would be my theory; in it for the intoxication of power
00:49.33Charles_MurrayThere's four major philosophies/approaches regarding American foreign policy, Trump is a Jacksonian; in short, he's probably going to be the kind of leader who is skeptical of international institutions, international law, human rights, meh, those don't matter; so long as the United States is left alone and respected, he doesn't think the United States should really be involved
00:49.35Charles_MurrayBut
00:49.38Charles_MurrayThere is a but
00:50.36Charles_MurrayIf you ever lay a hand on even so much as a hair of the US or its allies, he will retaliate with such overwhelming and disproportionate force that – the thinking goes – nobody will ever think to do that again
00:51.50Charles_MurrayInternational law, borders, casualties, second or third order consequences be damned, usually
00:53.24Wormy__I hear he wants to increase the US Military's budget
00:53.29Charles_MurraySo from Russia's perspective, there's the danger of Russia taking him as a softie and then discovering to their horror just how much shit they've got themselves into when they stick their toe a tiny bit over the line
00:53.55ImperiosCharles_Murray: And then WW3
00:54.05Wormy__I'm afraid if that happens, we're literal toast
00:54.08ImperiosWormy__: Where will he get the money for all this if he wanted to cut taxes tho
00:54.24Wormy__Imperios: Mexico, duh!
00:54.40ImperiosWormy__: Anschluss yiy

00:58.23HachimanLike I said
00:58.28HachimanTrump fucking loves America
00:59.40HachimanIt'd be amazing if he turns out to
00:59.43HachimanFuck
00:59.52HachimanEh I forgot what I was typing so screw it
01:01.19Charles_MurrayThough he doesn't understand why the US shouldn't use nuclear weapons
01:01.22ImperiosI think most American presidents do
01:01.29Charles_MurrayIf the US has them, why doesn't it use them?
01:01.56Charles_MurrayHis aides and advisors were trying to get him to understand why, but he just wouldn't get it apparently xD
01:02.12Wormy__He's like Bush in this cartoon then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUWIw3SFgj8
01:02.38NeonPandawe *are* talking about the guy who didn't realise he'd have to staff the white house, after all
01:04.00DrodoEmpirehttp://i.imgur.com/PQijujo.jpg old but gold
01:04.22NeonPandaif only
01:04.55NeonPandaI love how mental institution intake went up because of people claiming they were sent from the future to kill trump
01:07.13Wormy__Really?
01:07.29DrodoEmpirehttp://i.imgur.com/x3zhVZr.png
01:07.37NeonPandaat least in parts of the US yeah
01:07.56ImperiosNeonPanda: I bet they were screaming "Death to the False Emperor"
01:08.28HachimanWhat I love is the irony of liberals and left wing nuts supporting an establishment-based war criminal based solely on her sex / gender while bitching and whining that people are idiots for supporting Trump, who showed support for anti-establishment, and declaring that they did so because he's a man and a criminal tyrant
01:08.54HachimanReally, nobody came out looking good after the election

01:09.02NeonPanda_the meeps are clearly watching, my IRC crashed
01:09.36Wormy__DrodoEmpire, Imperios, Charles_Murray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g39ezxNJhTQ
01:10.00DrodoEmpireHachiman: I'm inclined to agree yeah
01:10.24DrodoEmpireThough, I doubt Trump's motives
01:10.26NeonPanda_what did Hachi say?
01:10.44Hachiman"What I love is the irony of liberals and left wing nuts supporting an establishment-based war criminal based solely on her sex / gender while bitching and whining that people are idiots for supporting Trump, who showed support for anti-establishment, and declaring that they did so because he's a man and a criminal tyrant"
01:10.48Hachiman"Really, nobody came out looking good after the election"
01:11.44NeonPanda_nobody comes out of an election looking good, because most election campaigns these days are more about making the other person look bad than making yourself look good
01:11.49HachimanYou know, liberals - the same group who constantly fight for expanding progressive movements - trying to invalidate the rest of the country's vote to suit their wants and push their agenda and attempting to silence the Trump and third party supporters  through ignorance and violence
01:12.10Wormy__No, they do not represent real liberals
01:12.15ImperiosWell, yeah
01:12.16DrodoEmpireI dislike the use of "liberal
01:12.30DrodoEmpire*"liberal" there given that liberal has a clean-cut definition
01:12.34DrodoEmpireprogressives maybe
01:12.35ImperiosDo you see anyone here who really whined about Trump losing
01:12.42Imperioswinning even
01:12.51ImperiosWe have more than a few liberals here
01:13.06NeonPanda_what's funny is our "Liberal" party are the conservatives :P
01:13.07Wormy__Politics today has beciome a lot more muddled and complicated, true lots of liberals put their left wing tendencies first but that's another thing
01:13.14DrodoEmpire^
01:13.26ImperiosNeonPanda_: Get on our level, our "Liberal Democratic Party" is far-right
01:13.32DrodoEmpireNeonPanda: And the Canadian "Liberal" party has gone progressive
01:13.49ImperiosDrodoEmpire: TRAITORS
01:14.01ImperiosThey're Trudeau's gang right?
01:14.06DrodoEmpireI'm a "real" liberal, I guess? And I find myself agreeing with the Conservatives more than any other Canadian party
01:14.07DrodoEmpireYes
01:14.12DrodoEmpireThey roll with hair-boy
01:14.28HachimanI don't consider myself far right, and apparently I'm not according to that political alignment test, but I disagree a lot with lefties and liberals and whatnot
01:14.38ImperiosI'd say you're centrist
01:14.41ImperiosDunno
01:14.48DrodoEmpireIf it weren't for the fact that Stephen Harper is a literal criminal I might've thrown my lot in with the conservatives
01:14.56NeonPanda_the only party I agree with in my state is the Australian Sex Party. I'm still not sure how I feel about that
01:14.59DrodoEmpirePlus the conservatives in general have their own issue
01:15.02DrodoEmpire*issues
01:15.23ImperiosHachiman: Your burning hatred towards the monarchy makes it hard for you to be right hur
01:15.27Imperiosright as in right-wing
01:15.55DrodoEmpirePossibly-controversial opinion-- I like both the monarchy and the Commonwealth
01:15.57HachimanMonarchy is fucking reptiles; I want human leaders for once
01:15.57DrodoEmpire<.<
01:15.58DrodoEmpire>.>
01:16.12DrodoEmpireI, for one, welcome our reptilian overlords
01:16.21NeonPanda_Australia doesn't really care, which is why we're still part of it
01:16.22HachimanFucking money-stealing Jew lizards; "tourism", they say she's good for
01:16.40NeonPanda_it's generally common consensus that we'd be a republic the moment we had a good reason to be, we just don't have one right now
01:16.41Wormy__Maybe Hachi is in the Libertarian right quadrant
01:16.52DrodoEmpire(((Queen Elizabeth II)))
01:17.37DrodoEmpireI recall telling him that I had the idea in my mind that he was a moderately-authoritarian centrist, but apparently its not true
01:17.49ImperiosWormy__: But Libertarians are snake people
01:17.53ImperiosAnd Hachiman is against reptilians
01:17.59DrodoEmpireno step on snek
01:18.09Wormy__I'm kinda neutral to the monarchy, my lefty side hates being her subject and have a general dislike for posh elites, but at the same time its a tradition that defines us and yes it doies reduce our taxes and raise tourism
01:18.11Hachimanfucking S T O M P
01:18.14NeonPanda_Australia- y no step on snek? we always step on snek
01:18.17ImperiosDrodoEmpire is a snake I think
01:18.33HachimanWormy__ So you're a nationalist
01:18.38Wormy__yeah
01:18.49DrodoEmpireI don't mind being a royal subject myself, even as a liberal
01:18.57ImperiosTo be honest
01:19.01DrodoEmpireI think there's such a thing as an enlightened monarch
01:19.02ImperiosIt'd be cool to have the Romanovs back
01:19.05DrodoEmpire^
01:19.08ImperiosAs figureheads at least
01:19.15ImperiosThey're still around after all
01:19.19HachimanDoes this mean that you don't like how much Middle Eastern and other foreign culture is becoming ingrained into modern English society
01:19.32DrodoEmpirehttp://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/051/601/579.png ayy lmao
01:19.35HachimanBecause they're "against tradition"
01:19.36ImperiosBut seriously imagine the old Soviet generation's reaction to this
01:19.43The_Randomness...
01:19.43Wormy__Wait, not that kind of nationalist
01:19.56HachimanRight, was just curious hur
01:20.19ImperiosThe most right-wing thing about me is my belief in nationalism; I generally believe strongly in a nation-state
01:20.25DrodoEmpire^
01:20.31DrodoEmpireI'm a big proponent of the nation state
01:20.35Wormy__I'm very tolerant to imigration of all peoples, but I believe they must be intergrated properly into British culture and through tolerant criticism both cultures can learn from each other
01:20.40DrodoEmpire^
01:20.51DrodoEmpireI'm against mass-immigration as well
01:20.52NeonPanda_I'm quite authoritarian at heart, just there's fuck all for good authority in australia
01:20.57Wormy__Nothing wrong with more British people in the world imo
01:20.59HachimanYeah mass immigration is ech
01:21.05DrodoEmpireBecause mass immigration is never, ever good
01:21.09ImperiosYep
01:21.12ImperiosWe call can agree on that
01:21.14HachimanLook at Germany and Sweden
01:21.16DrodoEmpire^
01:21.19ImperiosHachiman: SWEDEN YES
01:21.56Wormy__OhI don't mind controlling borders
01:21.57ImperiosAnyway, I do not see why people of one culture, language and ancestry should be in different countries, or why people of different cultural and linguistic heritage should stay in one country
01:22.31NeonPanda_Australia's a nation of immigrants, the major thing for me is integration- I'm really not pleased that there are ethnic suburbs popping up here and there
01:22.31Wormy__However I don't like the argument "not enough housing", when I live in the Midlands surrounded by brownfield sites
01:22.45ImperiosI'd prefer if Russia gave up some of the ethnic republics but I do not want it right away for a few reasons
01:22.49DrodoEmpireReally for me its the idea of being ruled by somebody who speaks your language and shares your values-- someone who has a vested interest at a cultural level to look out for your interests
01:23.02ImperiosFirst, Chechnya's genocide of non-Chechens in the 1990s
01:23.17DrodoEmpireForeign elites tend to be pretty bad for the subjects
01:23.19ImperiosWe bombed them into oblivion for that, sure, but if we let them free
01:23.22ImperiosAnd independent
01:23.29ImperiosWhat kind of message would we send to the rest of the country?
01:23.42Imperios"Killing Slavs is key to independence?"
01:23.59Hachimanprepares for a shitstorm
01:24.02HachimanIt worked for the vikings
01:24.08ImperiosEh?
01:24.23Wormy__Hachiman:  In terms of traditions I am not a relativist.  I think British traditions like Parliamentry democracy, and its contribution to the scientific method are great traditions, and one capable of self-improvement.
01:24.32HachimanLast time I made a Viking-Slav comment, you went apeshit hur
01:24.34Wormy__Hachiman:  Another tradition is anti-slavery
01:24.34ImperiosHachiman: You're referring to the summoning of the Varangians right?
01:25.10ImperiosThe Varangians were summoned by the East Slavs of their own volition; there was no violence involved in the initial formation of the Rus State
01:25.30ImperiosLater on, Rurik's descendants had to put down rebellions, but by that point they were fully assimilated
01:25.33HachimanI know, I know
01:25.48Wormy__Liking traditions neither stops me from being a lefty, and being liberal doesn't stop me from being patriotic
01:25.49HachimanI know, I know
01:25.51ImperiosIt is not you mentioning these events that annoys me, it is your ignorance in the matter
01:26.09ImperiosEarly Russian history is very much complex
01:26.22Charles_MurrayBack
01:26.23ImperiosSorry if I am rude
01:26.33ImperiosNOW
01:26.36HachimanIt's cool, I was just making a joke hur
01:26.48ImperiosYeah but this joke has no basis in history :P
01:26.52ImperiosAnyway, so
01:26.58ImperiosFirst, there's the whole genocide issue
01:27.04Charles_MurrayUh oh
01:27.05ImperiosSecond, it would set up a precedent
01:27.10Charles_MurrayWhat argument is happening without me
01:27.22ImperiosCharles_Murray: About giving independence to Russian ethnic republics
01:27.24NeonPanda_no argument
01:27.32NeonPanda_just a discussion with shenanigans involved
01:27.37Charles_MurrayWhy would you ever do that
01:27.39ImperiosWell it is just me explaining my position, noone is arguing it
01:27.47ImperiosI explain why it would be bad
01:27.55Wormy__Hachi asked me if I was a nationalist after saying I liked traditions
01:28.09ImperiosSecond, giving one republic independence could easily cascade into a parade of sovereignties, which would deeply destabilise the country
01:28.17ImperiosThat process should be slow and gradual
01:28.19HachimanI can't stand a majority of British nationalists
01:28.25HachimanThey're fucking obnoxious cunts
01:28.50NeonPanda_now now, you can't judge someone over what kind of cunt they fuck :P
01:28.50ImperiosAnd third, they have fucking resources

01:29.23HachimanNeonPanda: I'm British so whether I can or not, I will, because I'm an obnoxious cunt :p
01:29.26ImperiosBut if I could
01:29.33NeonPanda_so what you're saying is
01:29.38Wormy__I don't like nationalists either
01:29.42ImperiosTBH I'd give the Caucasus away, let them sort out their own jiffies
01:29.44NeonPanda_nationalists are fucking you? does Hachi have a boyfriend finally?
01:30.02HachimanLess boyfriend and more early stages of Stockholm syndrome
01:30.08Wormy__Imperios:  Early Russian history is kind of like post-Roman Britain until the Norman invasion
01:30.18NeonPanda_close enough
01:30.21ImperiosWormy__: Yeah actually it's a very close approximation
01:30.26ImperiosAnyway
01:31.18ImperiosPerhaps if there was some sort of global economical sphere over Eurasia which would make such transitions easier, then Russian republics leaving could be a thing
01:31.31NeonPanda_Australian history is mostly different ethnic groups rocking up and staying for various reasons
01:31.48ImperiosThis way Russia wouldn't be crippled so hard as its economical ties and ultimate dominance would persist
01:32.06Charles_MurrayHonestly, there's a lot to say about economic, ethnic, political, and normal geography in the post-soviet space, I'm actually reading a book about it right now
01:32.13Charles_MurrayBut it would be a lengthy conversation
01:32.14ImperiosLike say if we had our own EU, have Chechnya and Tatarstan and the like within this economic union
01:32.38ImperiosWell actually there is the Customs Union but it's too weak yet
01:33.07Charles_Murrayhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_Economic_Union
01:33.12Imperios^ That yes
01:33.18ImperiosMake it stronger
01:33.26ImperiosThen we can talk about independence
01:33.35ImperiosThen again, there's that problem
01:33.52ImperiosHalf of Russian ethnic republics are surrounded from all corners by Slavic regions
01:34.16Imperios...So hell maybe maintaining a multicultural federation is the right thing
01:35.04Wormy__eaeugh hur
01:35.34Charles_MurrayThat's kind of how those borders –– as well as the borders of the other member republics of the Soviet Union –– were designed, with overlapping ethnic borders which make secession by any single ethnic group neigh impossible
01:35.34Wormy__alright that was immature
01:35.52ImperiosWormy_ Charles_Murray: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/Mordovia_in_Russia.svg Like how are you supposed to secede when your republic is located like THAT
01:36.05Charles_Murraylol
01:36.15ImperiosCharles_Murray: That's the whole reason they were autonomous republics, rather than union republics
01:36.22Wormy__Mordovia wants to secede?
01:36.40Charles_MurrayPlaying a MP hearts of iron game as the PRC
01:36.42Charles_MurrayLet's do this
01:36.44ImperiosNo they don't, the only republics where there were real independence movements were Chechnya and Tatarstan
01:36.53Charles_MurrayOPM to relevance
01:37.04ImperiosChechnya is on the south so it could in theory secede, and did for a few years
01:37.06ImperiosBut then Putin
01:37.19ImperiosBoom boom bye Dudaev hello Kadyrov
01:37.33ImperiosNow it is one with the Motherland again
01:37.51ImperiosWormy__: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/Tatarstan_in_Russia.svg Tatarstan... well...
01:39.01ImperiosTHAT is why they quickly decided to simply call for more autonomy rather than full on independence
01:39.23ImperiosNow Europe however
01:39.38ImperiosI kind of feel that the UK and Spain will soon fragment, and maybe that's the right thing
01:39.48ImperiosIt won't hurt anyone now
01:41.50Wormy__But but but the Union Flag will have to change
01:42.01Wormy__I think that was my core opposition to the referendum
01:42.07ImperiosYeah that would suck
01:42.12ImperiosBadass flag
01:42.14Wormy__forget my other hardly argued points
01:42.57ImperiosEngland would be left with a silly cross, and Scotland with a silly saltire
01:43.01ImperiosSave for Wales
01:43.04Wormy__boooring
01:43.10ImperiosWales would benefit from independence
01:43.17ImperiosAt least in terms of vexillology
01:43.27ImperiosAs its badass flag would be turned into a national one
01:43.37Wormy__It wouldn't survive on its own.  For that matter, nor will England
01:44.20Wormy__Scotland might, given that it still has some major industries in fish and oil, and would probably join the Nordi Council
01:44.23Wormy__Nordic
01:44.40ImperiosScotland - WE ARE TOTALLY VIKINGS PEOPLE          DON'T MIND US
01:45.04Wormy__The Nords said Scotland could join if it left the UK lol
01:45.13ImperiosIn terms of symbols though
01:45.32ImperiosYou would  get neat coats of arms
01:45.43Wormy__Eventually London will split and then England will fragment into pre-Norman states of Celts, Saxons and Danelaw
01:45.45ImperiosRather than the complex one you have right now
01:46.10HachimanWelsh can fuck off though
01:46.24ImperiosSo I suppose they could step in as important national symbols with the flags becoming more bland
01:46.35Wormy__yeah
01:46.40HachimanI'm glad we've almost completely erased the entirety of the culture to the point Welsh is a second language to them
01:46.48HachimanNow we just need to ensure that they stop fucking their sheep

01:48.33Wormy__But history repeats and it 2000 years we will rule an empire again across the galaxy
01:48.43HachimanWhy does Wales get a fucking dragon
01:49.16ImperiosHachiman: Because dragons like the taste of farm animals
01:49.34HachimanFucking kek
01:49.49HachimanLock their women in towers so they can go out and do things with the sheep
01:49.52Imperioshttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9c/Royal_Badge_of_Wales_%282008%29.svg And the Welsh have this coat of arms apparently
01:49.52Wormy__Because Arthur and Wales came from a time when dragons existed an assisted Britons againsat the Saxon menace
01:50.14ImperiosEither that or the same as their flag but shield-shaped
01:53.19ImperiosBrowsed a bit for coats of arms and found this

02:32.02Wormy__If that's the same thing.  I don't know much else about him
02:32.11DrodoEmpireYeah, that was the story
02:33.09DrodoEmpireHe explains himself a lot in interviews, but basically it was partially a move to screw over shitty insurance companies, to make an almost never-used drug profitable so more research could be put into it, and, furthermore, he went out of his way to provide for free to those who had no insurance or whose insurance refused to cover it
02:33.26DrodoEmpire*provide it for free
02:34.02Wormy__The latter part is good, but the rest could be cover stories

15:41.38Groxkiller98I had an idea for another character. >_>
15:42.22Groxkiller98A Teyan military commander that's about fanatical about his/her mechanical implants as the Grox are.
15:44.02HachimanSo, an Adeptus Mechanicus
15:44.03Groxkiller98Also, Planet Busters are 'illegal' in the fictionverse, correct?
15:44.08Groxkiller98And yes.
15:44.41HachimanPlanet Busters aren't really illegal; just very questionable and ethically and morally controversial
15:44.52Groxkiller98Right.
15:45.09Groxkiller98Would people turn on an ally for using them? >_>
15:45.28HachimanThey'd possibly want to disassociate with them
15:45.30Groxkiller98Might be planning something stupid. It's self-contained though.
15:45.54HachimanThe thing about planet-destroying weaponry is that there is little actual practical use for them beyond terror
15:46.04Groxkiller98Well, yeah.
15:46.23Groxkiller98But it's effective at getting rid of a really annoying enemy that won't otherwise budge.
15:46.38Groxkiller98Like a Grox infestation pod.
15:49.26Groxkiller98However, I did have an idea that involves an invasion of the Milky Way, Andromeda, and Mirus, their owners permitting.
15:49.50HachimanHm?
15:50.29Groxkiller98Basically, the Teyan were lost in deep space after a certain cataclysmic event. And they'd be stumbling into the Gigaquadrant looking for a new home.
15:50.46Groxkiller98And the Teyan way of staking their claim is forcibly taking other people's stuff.
15:51.12HachimanBut why
15:51.14Groxkiller98So... They'd quickly be starting a war on three fronts - Which is what would lead to their downfall and defeat.
15:51.38HachimanIf they're recovering from a cataclysmic event and do not have defined, solid territory, they're bound to lose because they're in no position to support a war of that scale
15:51.49Groxkiller98That's kinda the point.
15:52.06HachimanBut why would they resort to that as their first option
15:52.38Groxkiller98It's Teyan psychology on a basic level.
15:52.49Groxkiller98"I want your thing, and I'll fight you for it."
15:53.23Groxkiller98They were once a hyperpower in a galaxy that is now none-existent. But they still have what resources they could bring with them.
15:54.05HachimanThere's psychology and then there's actually being intelligent and weighing one's options - if they are predisposed to be a race of warriors or fighters and whatnot, then should they not have the intelligence and wisdom to know what fights to pick
15:54.05Groxkiller98And they'd intend to shove everyone away from their new home, not realizing they're picking a fight they can't win.
15:55.02Groxkiller98The Teyan have intelligence, and a fair bit of it. But this would be an ex-hyperpower not realizing just how much they've lost, nor knowing they're attacking the wrong people.
15:56.07Groxkiller98The Teyan Imperium of Andromeda have been humbled after an ass-kicking or two. These would be the late-runners that haven't yet.
15:56.49HachimanRight
15:57.45Groxkiller98So, they come in, plant their flag, decide to push their neighbors away (not knowing who they're attacking), and it comes to bite them in the ass.
15:59.11Groxkiller98Does that make more sense?
15:59.34ImperiosSurely not everyone in their nation has the same belligerent attitude?
15:59.54ImperiosPerhaps the active militarism is caused by a few crazier higher-ups
16:00.12ImperiosRather than the race as a whole, although the public may be riled into patriotism by the way
16:00.14Imperioswar
16:00.17Groxkiller98Of course not. It's the military-leadership making the shots.
16:01.02Groxkiller98Teyan culture is a war-path in itself of sorts. The military lead, and throw enough propaganda around to make the public agree.
16:01.05ImperiosIf so there could be a more sensible, pacifist faction, which could open up some internal struggles within the governments
16:01.08Imperiosgovernment even
16:02.06HachimanReminds me of Homeworld and the Taiidan rebels
16:02.08Groxkiller98Hm. Maybe as time goes on. With the Teyan on the back-foot, perhaps a less aggressive party attempts to take power.
16:03.43HachimanI still think that the military leadership must be full of crazy people if they think this plan is ever going to work
16:04.03Groxkiller98I'd say they're more overcome by hubris.
16:04.22Groxkiller98Not having lost a fight for so long. Now they've found a new home, they don't expect it to resist.
16:04.39Groxkiller98But it does, and it's tougher than they estimated.
16:05.18Hachiman"Let's wage three large-scale wars on the offensive without solid bases of operations; without solidified, fortified territory; splitting our limited resources between three INTERGALACTIC fronts, etc"
16:05.40Hachiman"While we're in a state of recovery, at that"
16:05.54Groxkiller98"Eh, we did it before, what can go wrong? Oh... That..."
16:06.32HachimanI'm just gonna say; there's being undone by hubris, and then there's outright fucking yourself in the ass from the get-go
16:08.03HachimanIf your intent is to make the leadership of the invading Teyan seem like idiots who should not be in charge of military operations, then you've kinda succeeded :p
16:08.33Groxkiller98Well, they were once a hyperpower trying to carve out a few repetitively small chunks of the galaxy. They just chose the chunks where people are living.
16:08.55Groxkiller98They do need to resettle about half a galaxy of Teyan refugees.
16:10.19HachimanHalf a galaxy what
16:11.16Groxkiller98Well, they did lose their home galaxy, of which they were dominant.
16:11.20Groxkiller98VERY dominant.
16:11.39HachimanHow recently
16:11.53Groxkiller98The Annihilation.
16:12.10HachimanAnd they only got around to resettling NOW?!
16:13.01Groxkiller98Well, they were lost in deep space for Spode-knows-how-long.
16:13.19Groxkiller98Transportation from beyond the Gigaquadrant is hard.
16:13.24Groxkiller98I would assume.
16:13.31Groxkiller98Especially without a wormhole.
16:14.33Groxkiller98Though I must go for now. I will be back soon.
16:14.52Groxkiller98Later! I will think while I'm gone.

16:52.50GhelaeIt's even entirely possible that civilisations whose territories were destroyed in the Annihilation have been held back outside of time in order to let the Gigaquadrant's natives recover, and only re-released into the universe recently.
16:53.13GhelaeEither way, there are plenty of reason for the Teyan to only just be trying to settle.
16:54.49GhelaeIt is worth pointing out that the basic plot - superpower attacks lots of different people and falls because of their hubris - is that of the Dominatus war. It's different in that the Dominatus were a rising superpower of sadists in contrast to the Teyan as a fallen hyperpower of militarists, but it does risk looking similar.
16:58.44Groxkiller98I don't think I've read that conflict.

19:42.25ZF101Looks interesting. I've never actually thought to deal with economic issues and all with fiction. That's a really interesting angle.
19:43.14Charles_MurrayCool
19:43.15Charles_Murrayhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction%3AFrench_Recession_of_2816-2819
19:44.14Charles_MurrayEconomics is a pretty big part of mine, with the entire French Empire consisting a complex and interdependent system of economies, production, resource acquisition, capital flows, trade, etc
19:44.36Charles_MurrayAnd France also being a free trader, it imports and exports a lot
19:45.10MonetI think what often ends wars before the losing nation gets completely levelled is the expense of war
19:46.17MonetTwo sides of roughly equal strength even the winning side might see the war as becoming costly
19:47.03Charles_MurrayWell, cost is a big factor in war planning, though it's not as simple as "this war is costly let's stop"
19:47.32MonetGood point
19:47.43Charles_MurrayAt different moments in history, states and rulers have found ways to produce the funds they need to wage a war one way or another
19:48.12Charles_MurrayWhether by taking it at gunpoint or by producing it (seemingly, it works out) out of nowhere
19:48.30MonetSometimes complete destruction of the opposing state is seen as overkill
19:48.36Charles_MurrayBasically by borrowing it from itself
19:49.03Charles_MurrayThat was the rationale for ending the first world war as soon as possible
19:49.15Charles_MurrayThough by the second world war, they realized how much of a mistake that had been
19:49.35Charles_MurrayAnd so the Allies agreed not to stop until they had fully occupied the axis states
19:51.45Charles_MurrayAnd sometimes, how much the war already cost in both lives and treasure makes it impossible to justify ending it with no gain
19:51.51Charles_Murrayno substantial gain

22:27.16Tek0516Windows Presentation Foundation and C#.
22:27.48Wormy_Don't know those areas
22:28.47Tek0516WPF's an old .NET 3.0 system (from 2006?)

22:30.25XhoWell the greek word for 'helmet' is kranos
22:30.32ImperiosDrodoEmpire: Imagine a historical movie set during the Helot rebellion following the Spartan earthquake, where the Spartans are the antagonists and the Helots are the good guys
22:30.36XhoNot too sure if it's the same in Ancient Greek
22:30.54DrodoEmpireImperios: That'd be rather interesting actually
22:31.03ImperiosXho: It should
22:31.18ImperiosThere are no sounds that underwent severe changes so
22:31.23ImperiosIn this word that is
22:31.27Wormy_Tek0516:  I'm worried about this upcoming exam in programming, but its with pen and paper and I never coded with thought alone.  So trying to get as much stuff covered as possible like recursion
22:32.38Imperioshttps://el.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%BA%CF%81%CE%AC%CE%BD%CE%BF%CF%82#.CE.91.CF.81.CF.87.CE.B1.CE.AF.CE.B1_.CE.B5.CE.BB.CE.BB.CE.B7.CE.BD.CE.B9.CE.BA.CE.AC_.28grc.29 And yes I was righgt
22:33.17Tek0516Wasn't until last term that I had a programming exam that wasn't pen amd paper
22:34.11Wormy_The irony is, databases has clicked even though I hated it most
22:34.41Wormy_That was more because of the way it was taught, though
22:38.04Tek0516Databases was my worst class lf the term due to the prof
22:38.48Wormy_Our module was supposed to cover databases AND interfaces
22:39.03Wormy_However he covered interfaces in the last week and half
22:39.40Wormy_A lot of people unfamilar with web had to learn PHP, JS, HTML and CSS, and design, to complete a project handed in the last two weeks
22:39.54Wormy_Luckily I have web experience already from my degree
22:41.07Wormy_This was to make a fully functioning dynamic website with database controls
22:46.49DrodoEmpireyeeeeeeeeeeey
22:46.56DrodoEmpireGot two essays done at the same tie
22:46.57DrodoEmpire*time

22:54.34Wormy_hi
22:54.54DrodoEmpireHi
22:55.37Liquid_InkHello
22:56.26DrodoEmpireI don't post music here often, nor does anyone really (besides dino once in a blue moon), but I'm really surprised that I haven't heard this remix of "You're On" before - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RUDU-8mYnQ
22:57.11DrodoEmpireEspecially considering that its arguably better than the remixes that were promoted by Madeon himself a couple years back, which I believe this wasn't a part of

23:41.05XhoDrodoEmpire: I follow the artist who did the artwork on that video, he has cool stuff
23:41.58XhoSong isn't too bad either
23:42.06XhoNot something I'd normally listen to but it's groovy
23:44.05DrodoEmpireAhh, yeah
23:44.10Wormy_Found old treasure (or trash) http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:Fiction_Universe/First_Gigaquadrant/Original
23:44.28Wormy_That solves the debate of where Phtadox came from
23:44.32DrodoEmpireWho's the artist? Just curious
23:44.46XhoBeeple
23:44.51DrodoEmpirekk cool
23:46.39DrodoEmpireWormy_ Phtadox?
23:46.59Wormy_Phradox
23:47.16DrodoEmpireAhh
23:47.21DrodoEmpireStill a lot of questions <.<
23:47.43DrodoEmpireXho: This remix *is* a lot more low-key than the original, though I like both
23:48.29Wormy_Well, people couldn't be sure whether Phradox, if it still exists, came from the Xonexi or the IK cluster.  The page mysteriously states me and Cyrannian ressurected it, but neither of us remember doing so.
23:48.40DrodoEmpireOh dear
23:49.21Wormy_Phradox in fact comes from the Xanthrus cluster, which probably got scorched the most because it was MushrumKing's fiction lol
23:49.29DrodoEmpireayy lmao
23:49.38DrodoEmpire"Birthday -> your mom's favourite restaurant"
23:49.40DrodoEmpirealright
23:51.16DrodoEmpireHey wasn't there a Second Gigaquadrant at some point?
23:51.21DrodoEmpireHad its own wiki, or something?
23:52.08Wormy_There were attempts to create a second one but it was never popular
23:52.28DrodoEmpireRite
23:53.16Liquid_InkIIRC, Oluap originally placed Borealis in the Second Gigaquadrant
23:53.21DrodoEmpire>listen to a song I like on YT
23:53.22Wormy_There was another fiction universe that sprang to life before the FU, by some users here.  We tried a crossover once but found the universes were quite incompatible, as our fiction was OP and used a different mode.
23:53.38DrodoEmpire>the comments are all roasting the artist who misspoke the title on tour
23:53.53DrodoEmpireayy lmao
23:54.04DrodoEmpireOhh yeah
23:54.13DrodoEmpireI recall there was an entirely different universe once upon a time
23:54.19Wormy_http://sporefanfic.wikia.com/wiki/Spore_Fan_Fiction_Wiki
23:54.45DrodoEmpireYep that's the one
23:55.04DrodoEmpireAw, no recent edits at all
23:55.10DrodoEmpireSorta sad seeing a dead wiki like tgat
23:55.11DrodoEmpire*that
23:55.47DrodoEmpireThe last edits seem to have been on July of 2016
