18:10.51 | Hachiman | I do wonder how infamous or notorious blood magic is on Koldenwelt given what horrifying shit it can be used for |
18:11.10 | Hachiman | Like, it's an extremely efficient healing magic I imagine, but at the other end of the scale |
18:11.24 | OluapPlayer_ | I always described it as a taboo in most societies |

18:13.39 | Hachiman | Imperios: Imagine a Mengele-esque character who roams around using blood magic to perform sick experiments |
18:13.58 | Imperios | Like that guy in the Last Airbender |
18:13.59 | Imperios | ? |
18:14.02 | Imperios | Well, not guy, girl |
18:14.04 | Imperios | woman even |
18:14.13 | Imperios | What was her name, remember she taught Katara how to use bloodbending |
18:14.32 | Hachiman | Kinda, but I mean more like, Human Centipede style of 'blood magic' |
18:14.47 | OluapPlayer_ | ew |
18:15.07 | OluapPlayer_ | Human Centipede remains one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard of |
18:15.07 | Hachiman | Combining and disassembling bodies and putting organs and appendages where they shouldn't be kind of thing |
18:15.39 | Hachiman | You've not heard of 120 Days of Sodom then |
18:15.45 | OluapPlayer_ | I get reminded of the section where the Merkan made an effigy of Zarmagahla using elf body parts |
18:16.00 | Imperios | Serbian Film plz |
18:16.02 | Imperios | Green Elephant plz |
18:16.08 | Hachiman | Green Elephant? |
18:16.25 | Imperios | That's a classic, every Russian knows this |
18:16.29 | Hachiman | OluapPlayer: Isn't it confirmed that the Merkan are frequent blood magic users? |
18:16.35 | Imperios | every young Russian at least knows this movie |
18:16.44 | OluapPlayer_ | I've never made any mention of Merkan using blood magic |
18:17.03 | OluapPlayer_ | Water and poison are their favorite magics to use |
18:17.15 | Imperios | It's an arthouse movie made in 1990s, it is as disgusting as Sodom or Human Centipede although it manages to be hilarious at the same itme |
18:17.39 | Imperios | It's about two prisoners in a Russian army jail; one is generally lucid while the other grows progressively insane |
18:18.25 | Imperios | He starts from telling disgusting stories about sex, to defecating into a plate and giving it to his jailmate claiming it to be "sweet bread from the village" |
18:18.40 | Hachiman | Jesus |
18:18.47 | Imperios | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Elephant there we go, there's a recap on Wikipedia |
18:19.49 | OluapPlayer_ | dere aint even any green elephants involved |
18:19.53 | OluapPlayer_ | ive been scammed |
18:20.34 | Imperios | The insane prisoner sings a song about a green elephant at some point in the movie |
18:20.45 | OluapPlayer_ | I was gonna make a joke and say "he was just happy he got his first elekk mount" but apparently there aren't any green elekk mounts |
18:20.48 | OluapPlayer_ | I could swear there was one |
18:21.05 | Imperios | >green elekk mount |
18:21.08 | Imperios | Fel elekks |
18:21.16 | Imperios | So that's what eredar use to travel |
18:21.21 | OluapPlayer_ | kek |
18:21.38 | OluapPlayer_ | There are fel wolves, fel boars and fel dread ravens |
18:21.44 | OluapPlayer_ | I'm surprised there aren't any fel elekks |
18:23.14 | Imperios | The movie also has brilliant acting https://pp.vk.me/c411225/v411225130/59fb/wvgNqkqqv44.jpg |

18:24.16 | Imperios | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MppLwO-Sn_I&feature=youtu.be |
18:27.06 | OluapPlayer_ | Considering how much shout-outs there are in WoW I'm surprised there isn't a pink flying elekk mount yet |

18:45.00 | Imperios | OluapPlayer_: How about some Timewalking? |

18:45.28 | OluapPlayer_ | Sure, I need to do it too |
18:45.47 | Xho | OluapPlayer_ Hachiman: "Your reckless, careless behavior almost resulted in my exposure. But now that you have crippled the morale of the Collegium, my masters' plan can continue without hindrance." OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
18:47.56 | Hachiman | We're very near the end of Doctrina at this point |
18:48.06 | Hachiman | It's been a long and tiring, but admittedly fun, journey |
18:48.21 | Xho | It's a good story |
18:49.34 | OluapPlayer_ | emphasis on tiring |
18:49.56 | Xho | dat emphasis |
18:50.09 | Hachiman | Once we're done, think I'll take a year-long break from doing anything and just sit back and be lazy |
18:50.16 | Xho | ayyy what |
18:50.24 | OluapPlayer_ | nigga dont make me kill you |

18:50.47 | Hachiman | Hi |
18:51.15 | OluapPlayer_ | Imperios: get in the game |
18:51.28 | Imperios | one sec |
18:51.53 | Xho | I was thinking of making a page for an Imperial Inquistion, empire being the Orichalcum Elves |
18:52.02 | Xho | Although there's not much purpose to making a page |
18:52.14 | Hachiman | I'd recommend maybe not calling it specifically that |
18:52.25 | Hachiman | Considering that's what the... Imperial Inquisition is called |
18:52.43 | Xho | Inquisitor - aliquams Inquisitor - WHAT DID YOU SAY |
18:52.44 | Xho | Hm |
18:52.46 | Xho | Good point |
18:53.38 | drom | So I found a TTRPG engine book named MSpace. |
18:53.43 | drom | http://www.frostbytebooks.com/ |
18:54.01 | drom | They also cover alien creation |
18:54.20 | drom | Heck, it covers every basics and details you need to create an universe. |
18:54.45 | Hachiman | Hm seems interesting |
18:54.59 | Hachiman | Might see if I can pirate it kek |
18:54.59 | drom | See page 24 of this preview PDF (122) https://uploads.strikinglycdn.com/files/48d0e0c8-6fe5-4c0a-b816-dc2ef00fb1a8/M-SPACE%201.0%20PREVIEW.pdf |
18:55.33 | drom | :V |
18:55.48 | drom | I was also tipsed about Savage Worlds for race creation |
18:56.12 | drom | But I couldn't find any material, someone has however pointed out it is in the core book. |
18:57.21 | Technobliterator | I don't suppose there's a chance of Borealis War today is there |
18:57.23 | Technobliterator | :o |
18:57.31 | Technobliterator | after your game anyway |
18:58.28 | OluapPlayer_ | Probably not |
18:58.49 | NeonPanda | why is there talk of TRPGs? |
18:59.31 | drom | Apparently FrostByte Books is Swedish |
18:59.45 | drom | So... this is a Swedish TTRPG |
18:59.52 | Imperios | Xho: Why not some Roman term? |
18:59.54 | Imperios | Make them lictors |

19:01.06 | Hachiman | kek |
19:01.09 | Xho | Even though that's actually Pretoria but you know |
19:01.48 | Hachiman | Praetorian just seems like a really good and imposing word for something and I dunno if you used it yet |
19:02.01 | Xho | Praetors |
19:02.02 | Imperios | OluapPlayer: fug I keep disconencting |
19:02.07 | NeonPanda | ALL SHALL FEAR THE GENERAL'S TENT |
19:02.09 | Xho | Praetors are the Shiarchon Lords |
19:02.21 | Hachiman | Right |
19:02.21 | Xho | Would have probably been used in Orichalcum Elf society as well |
19:02.41 | Xho | Justiciar sounds alright because it sounds like the Thalmor and the Thalmor are dicks |
19:02.49 | Xho | As well as the Gold!Inquisition |

20:25.51 | NeonPanda | some ethics and law body is initiating legal action over foreign interests |

20:26.59 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
20:27.20 | Wormydroid | Oh? |
20:27.27 | Monet | That's got to be a world record. |
20:29.03 | NeonPanda | tl;dr now that he's President he can't have any private financial involvement with any foreign countries' governments, which his company has in bucketloads |
20:30.32 | Wormydroid | So they're investigating if he's still tied to them? |
20:30.59 | Wormydroid | Supposedly his family were taking over |
20:31.10 | The_Randomness | Yeah, that's what I heard too |
20:32.30 | Ghelae | You'd think if your family stands to benefit financially from an arrangement, that can easily still become a conflict of interest on your part too. |
20:33.41 | NeonPanda | The problem is that he hasn't actually disclosed any of his business dealings, so there's no way to prove he's not involved (my understanding of it) |

20:36.57 | NeonPanda | Alright, read through the specifics a bit more: part of the Constitution dictates that people who hold public office have to declare anything of value received from foreign governments, including government-owned businesses |
20:37.14 | NeonPanda | so basically, by refusing to divulge his business dealings, he's in direct violation of the constitution |
20:37.36 | The_Randomness | That's a nice way to start off your presidency |
20:37.54 | Monet | This sounds like a continuation of "Mr. Trump show us your tax returns" |
20:38.06 | The_Randomness | the sequel? |
20:38.08 | Monet | Only difference now is he doesn't have his army of corporate lawyers to protect him. |
20:38.14 | NeonPanda | since it is a known fact that he has dealings with government agencies and corporations |
20:38.37 | NeonPanda | Monet: the tax returns are part of it, as a point of note- they're necessary information to absolve him of any wrongdoing |
20:38.40 | Wormydroid_ | What a delicious spectacle |
20:40.48 | NeonPanda | so yeah, from what I understand, in order to prove himself innocent he has to present all his business dealings before Congress to prove he's not taking anything out of line |
20:42.13 | NeonPanda | which realistically should have been a requirement as a candidate to start with, let alone an elected president |
20:53.39 | Technobliterator | meh, now that he's scrapped the TPP, he's outlived his usefulness |
20:53.48 | Technobliterator | so I welcome an impeachmen-oh wait Pence is VP |

22:28.56 | Monet | Well the first variety certainly main and impression. |
22:29.13 | Monet | made an impression* |
22:30.46 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
22:31.23 | DrodoEmpire | Its fair to say many Antifa/anarchists/progressives took part in those riots |
22:31.42 | Wormy_ | That's the Alt Right media trying to create a false impression of anti-Trump people. True, those were anarchists anti-trump, but its false to conflate them with other anti-Trump people. |
22:32.03 | DrodoEmpire | "Alt Right Media"? |
22:32.07 | Monet | Leftist - Down with the 1 per-cent! *asmashes Starbucks* Other Anarchist - Dude we were going to get lattes from there after this! |
22:32.22 | Dinolion92 | My parents actually went to a Donald Trump protest in LA. No riots occured. |
22:32.40 | Monet | Other Leftist* |
22:32.46 | DrodoEmpire | Well, yes, I'm not saying every anti-Trump protest ended in a riot |
22:32.50 | Dinolion92 | Not all anti-Trump people are vigilantes. |
22:32.55 | DrodoEmpire | Well dug |
22:32.56 | DrodoEmpire | *duh |
22:32.59 | Wormy_ | Anyway, those Anarchists are ideologues. How can they be "for the people" when they leave a mess for poor workers to clean up after them? |
22:33.01 | DrodoEmpire | Naturally |
22:33.32 | DrodoEmpire | I think its silly to protest a vote, but so long as things don't get out of hand people can demonstrate |
22:33.38 | Dinolion92 | Most people are decent. Its just those loud few who do riot or do beat up protesters that get the media coverage. |
22:33.58 | DrodoEmpire | That's not much of a defense |
22:34.00 | Wormy_ | And I imagine they were somekind of anarcho-communist, since they were flying the hammer and sicle as well. Anarchism comes in many forms. |
22:34.13 | DrodoEmpire | Most anarchists there were ancoms yeah |
22:34.16 | Wormy_ | Lots of anarchists are anti-communist |
22:35.15 | DrodoEmpire | Because the issue is that these violent radicals have become ubiquitous and in a way accepted-- there should be *none* of this extreme violence happening because anyone who tries should be immediately discredited from the broader movement |
22:35.24 | Monet | I get the impression the ones the press focus on don't quite get the whole "fair democracy" thing. Because chill out guys America didn't become a dictatorship the moment Trump was sworn in. |
22:35.26 | DrodoEmpire | I'm certain most people don't do this |
22:35.36 | Wormy_ | DrodoEmpire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoQMav6alLo |
22:36.00 | Dinolion92 | Personally, I find it a little hypocritical if Trump people don't like anti-Trump people protesting Trump, but think its fine to have protested Obama. |
22:36.14 | Technobliterator | ^ |
22:36.15 | DrodoEmpire | Except that's also silly |
22:36.37 | DrodoEmpire | I think both groups are idiots, and many of the same states that voted Obama also voted Trump |
22:36.54 | Dinolion92 | I agree. |
22:37.04 | Technobliterator | Only 3 did, Drodo, in the rust belt |
22:37.09 | Dinolion92 | I disliked Hillary, but I found Trump much, much worse. |
22:37.14 | Technobliterator | two-time Obama voters swung it for Trump |
22:37.42 | DrodoEmpire | Only three? Still, fairly significant |
22:37.53 | DrodoEmpire | Dinolion: exact opposite opinion |
22:38.13 | Technobliterator | Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, I forgot the other one |
22:38.14 | DrodoEmpire | I don't like Trump but Clinton was *bad news* |
22:38.21 | Technobliterator | He almost took Virginia |
22:38.35 | Monet | I think it's a bit of an oversimplification to call treason on the Rust Belt. That's some heavy partisan thinking really. |
22:38.40 | Technobliterator | Uh |
22:38.46 | Technobliterator | When did I call treason on the Rust Belt |
22:38.47 | Technobliterator | ?_? |
22:38.53 | Monet | "two-time Obama Voters" |
22:38.58 | DrodoEmpire | Wormy_: Calling Rebel Media "alt right" is dumb |
22:38.59 | Technobliterator | And? |
22:39.02 | Monet | OKay maybe not treason |
22:39.03 | DrodoEmpire | They're conservative, sure |
22:39.04 | Wormy_ | Anyway, I'm interested in what peaceful individualist anarchists do, often what we don't hear about, rather than an ideology |
22:39.09 | Technobliterator | I don't blame them for it |
22:39.24 | Technobliterator | They voted Obama twice because he offered them change, this time, they voted Trump because he promised to oppose trade deals |
22:39.40 | Technobliterator | and because he was the one who represented the outsider promising change this time |
22:39.49 | Technobliterator | that's how the election was narrowly swung to Trump |
22:39.51 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah nah I gotta disagree with you Wormy_, the "not all defense" is dumb because it doesn't change or minimise the fact that these people are still a significant faction in the movement |
22:39.57 | DrodoEmpire | *"not all" defense |
22:40.16 | Wormy_ | What are you talking aboyt? |
22:40.28 | DrodoEmpire | Thunderfoot video, thusfar |
22:40.30 | Technobliterator | DrodoEmpire, I only thought Clinton was bad news because she wouldn't receive nearly the same backlash for doing awful stuff that Trump would receive |
22:40.39 | Technobliterator | and thus, would not be held accountable |
22:40.40 | Cyrannian | Maybe you guys should take it to the other channel |
22:41.11 | Wormy_ | Drodo: Sorry, thought you were commenting on something I said |
22:41.12 | Technobliterator | to the -offtopic mobile |
22:41.16 | Technobliterator | :o |
22:41.34 | Dinolion92 | Technobliterator: I actually feel that Trump received less backlash then Hillary. |
22:42.38 | Technobliterator | The women's march was one of the biggest protests in the country's history (and not a single arrest has happened as a result), though? |
22:42.39 | Technobliterator | anyway |
22:42.48 | Technobliterator | #sporewiki-offtopic - you can discuss it here |
22:43.35 | DrodoEmpire | Technobliterator: Was that to me? :p |
22:43.44 | DrodoEmpire | Because yeah the women's march was very peaceful |
22:43.54 | Technobliterator | no, it was to the comment that pinged me |
22:43.56 | Technobliterator | :P |
22:44.08 | DrodoEmpire | Ah |
22:44.43 | Dinolion92 | So, how was your guys' weekends? |
22:45.04 | Technobliterator | I confess to not really knowing about the riots, but |
22:45.13 | Technobliterator | I remember when we were hit with riots a few years ago |
22:45.16 | Technobliterator | it's rough |

23:24.35 | Monet | Nice. |
23:24.58 | Monet | "But the Order of Sol must be reminded time and time again - we are the Imperator's. Not them." sums up their attitude nicely |
23:25.10 | Xho | Longinus - bunch of twats really |
23:26.14 | Xho | That being said the Iusticiarii never really wanted to go into open conflict with the Order of Sol |
23:27.56 | Xho | They may have the numbers but pumped up Imperial Guards don't really last against eight thousand heliomancers |
23:33.13 | Xho | Tyndarus Sparax and Longinus probably didn't get along all that well |
23:37.43 | Xho | I like writing about Orichalcum Elf lore |
23:38.28 | DrodoEmpire_ | Huh |
23:38.37 | Xho | did u not c the link |
23:38.59 | DrodoEmpire_ | Just clicked |
23:39.05 | DrodoEmpire_ | I was doing my own thing, sorry |
23:40.03 | Wormy_ | Think I'm going to write about the Viking ringworld |
23:40.32 | Wormy_ | What was my name for it? *Cjecks* |
23:40.41 | Xho | Himinsfolk wasn't it |
23:40.45 | Xho | Or did you change it |

23:42.56 | DrodoEmpire_ | Hi |
23:43.05 | The_Randomness | Hello |
23:43.21 | DrodoEmpire_ | Xho: They remind me of the Praetorian Guard |
23:43.33 | DrodoEmpire_ | Being a royal guard/secret police |
23:44.43 | Xho | It was originally going to be an Inquistion |
23:44.52 | Xho | But we already have an Inquisition |
23:44.53 | DrodoEmpire_ | Ahh |
23:44.58 | DrodoEmpire_ | Yeah hur |
23:45.06 | Xho | So they're called the Iusticiarii, or Justiciars |
23:45.12 | DrodoEmpire_ | How many of them were there, like at their peak even? |
23:45.14 | DrodoEmpire_ | Rite |
23:45.16 | Xho | 250,000 |
23:45.21 | DrodoEmpire_ | Holy |
23:45.35 | Xho | This is in an empire of roughly 35 million at its peak |
23:45.42 | DrodoEmpire_ | Jesus |
23:46.03 | DrodoEmpire_ | 250k easily sounds like the size of the Imperial military |
23:46.08 | Monet | Or was. |
23:46.18 | DrodoEmpire_ | Though if they' |
23:46.32 | Xho | The Imperial Legion (Orichalcum Elves) was about 5 million at its peak |
23:47.08 | Xho | Half of it was wiped out in a battle against Void Denizens under what might have been a ploy to reduce the population |
23:47.10 | DrodoEmpire_ | Does the 35 million figure include non-elves, slaves, etc. ? |
23:47.10 | Xho | Kind of worked |
23:47.18 | Xho | DrodoEmpire_: More or less |
23:47.21 | DrodoEmpire_ | Yikes |
23:47.34 | Xho | Slave populace might not be counted there |
23:47.35 | DrodoEmpire_ | So over 1 out of 7 inhabitants was an armed, paid member of the army? |
23:47.44 | Xho | Pretty much |
23:47.50 | Xho | It was a word filled with demonic monsters |
23:47.54 | Xho | world |
23:47.55 | DrodoEmpire_ | Right, best not because I'm not sure how such a nation would fund an army <.< |
23:48.12 | DrodoEmpire_ | I can see the slave population being vast, though, which'd pick up the slack |
23:48.16 | Xho | Well it plays into their biology really |
23:48.31 | Xho | Orichalcum Elves are comparatively god like so they'd rely on much less essentials to survive |
23:48.38 | DrodoEmpire_ | *a nation would fund such an army |
23:48.43 | DrodoEmpire_ | Hm, okay |
23:48.52 | Xho | As for equipment, well that would be the main expense |
23:49.18 | Xho | I mean the Iusticiarii effectively bankrupted the Empire in its first incarnation |
23:49.18 | DrodoEmpire_ | So they'd need less agricultural resources, and the farming necessary could be passed off to slaves |
23:49.23 | DrodoEmpire_ | Ah |
23:50.14 | Wormy_ | Xho: Thar's the name of the offworlders, yeah |
23:50.27 | Xho | rite |
23:50.54 | Wormy_ | "linnormr" is the name of the iced up ringworld |
23:51.03 | Wormy_ | "Lindworm" in English |
23:51.19 | Xho | ew |
23:51.51 | Xho | DrodoEmpire: I've calculated it collectively spent 1.3 quadrillion nomismata on the Iusticiarii in its first form |
23:52.19 | Xho | It basically fucked the entire world up |
23:52.24 | Wormy_ | Its a snake like serpentine deity that was said to coil three and half times around the base of old barrows |
23:52.47 | DrodoEmpire_ | O.o |
23:52.58 | DrodoEmpire_ | That's a lot of money |
23:53.00 | Monet | Regarding numbers. On earth even one in 10 being soldiers was considered difficult to sustain. |
23:53.06 | DrodoEmpire_ | Yeah |
23:53.23 | Monet | Even back in the Middle Ages with peasant levies, right? |
23:53.28 | DrodoEmpire_ | ^ |
23:53.44 | DrodoEmpire_ | Though the nature of the Imperium and its lead species could mean that the Elves could dedicate themselves more to non-farming/economic roles |
23:53.47 | DrodoEmpire_ | Be a caste, almost |
23:53.59 | Xho | That's pretty much it |
23:54.08 | DrodoEmpire_ | The soldiers, rulers, merchants, etc., while slaves and subject peoples do the agriculture |
23:54.16 | DrodoEmpire_ | And aren't counted in censuses/estimates |
23:54.17 | Xho | Especially since one Orichalcum Elf usually lived the life of twenty men |
23:54.31 | Xho | At least anyway |
23:55.02 | Xho | It would have a very bizarre dynamic in the Imperium |
23:55.15 | Xho | Massive swarthes of fleeting lives serving an immortal species |
23:55.15 | DrodoEmpire_ | So perhaps its more accurate to say that 1 in 7 elves are in the army, but not necessarily 1 in 7 inhabitants |
23:55.43 | DrodoEmpire_ | Which *would* lead to pretty instant collapse |
23:55.43 | Xho | Makes sense |
23:55.48 | Xho | Maybe |
23:56.03 | Xho | This was during a 1,200 year long tyranny mind you |
23:56.13 | Xho | Money went out of the window |
23:56.35 | DrodoEmpire_ | As in they were rich or they debased their currency and decided the next guy would deal with it |
23:56.36 | DrodoEmpire_ | *? |
23:56.52 | Xho | More the latter |
23:56.54 | Xho | It got even worse |
23:56.56 | DrodoEmpire_ | Ahh, makes sense |
23:57.09 | DrodoEmpire_ | Happened a lot with Chinese emperors, especially during the Mind |
23:57.12 | DrodoEmpire_ | *Ming |
23:57.57 | Xho | The Orichalcum Elves didn't really need money to some degree |
23:58.09 | DrodoEmpire_ | One emperor would decide paper money is a good idea, and print out so much its useless-- the next would make paper money illegal, and then that'd dispossess millions of their wealth until the new coins are minted, which would also get debased |
23:58.12 | Xho | It was more of a position of luxury than anything |
23:58.57 | DrodoEmpire_ | Then the next emperor makes the coins from the last emperor illegal, dispossessing millions of their wealth *again* until new coins are struck, so on and so on, until all the copper in China was literally mined up |
23:59.03 | Xho | wow |
23:59.17 | Xho | The Order of Sol were far more aware of useless luxury and capitalised on their immortality in trying to protect the world rather than live lazily in it |
23:59.35 | DrodoEmpire_ | In Fujian, the type of coins would change from year to year, arbitrarily, without any government oversight-- making people extremely wealthy and extremely poor overnight |
23:59.37 | Xho | That being said the armour they wore was worth a fortune if it was ever to be sold |
23:59.45 | DrodoEmpire_ | *type of coins that'd be accepted |
23:59.49 | The_Randomness | DrodoEmpire_: man, that's nutty |
