18:10.51HachimanI do wonder how infamous or notorious blood magic is on Koldenwelt given what horrifying shit it can be used for
18:11.10HachimanLike, it's an extremely efficient healing magic I imagine, but at the other end of the scale
18:11.24OluapPlayer_I always described it as a taboo in most societies
18:13.14*** join/#sporewiki drom (~drom@unaffiliated/drom)
18:13.39HachimanImperios: Imagine a Mengele-esque character who roams around using blood magic to perform sick experiments
18:13.58ImperiosLike that guy in the Last Airbender
18:13.59Imperios?
18:14.02ImperiosWell, not guy, girl
18:14.04Imperioswoman even
18:14.13ImperiosWhat was her name, remember she taught Katara how to use bloodbending
18:14.32HachimanKinda, but I mean more like, Human Centipede style of 'blood magic'
18:14.47OluapPlayer_ew
18:15.07OluapPlayer_Human Centipede remains one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard of
18:15.07HachimanCombining and disassembling bodies and putting organs and appendages where they shouldn't be kind of thing
18:15.39HachimanYou've not heard of 120 Days of Sodom then
18:15.45OluapPlayer_I get reminded of the section where the Merkan made an effigy of Zarmagahla using elf body parts
18:16.00ImperiosSerbian Film plz
18:16.02ImperiosGreen Elephant plz
18:16.08HachimanGreen Elephant?
18:16.25ImperiosThat's a classic, every Russian knows this
18:16.29HachimanOluapPlayer: Isn't it confirmed that the Merkan are frequent blood magic users?
18:16.35Imperiosevery young Russian at least knows this movie
18:16.44OluapPlayer_I've never made any mention of Merkan using blood magic
18:17.03OluapPlayer_Water and poison are their favorite magics to use
18:17.15ImperiosIt'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
18:17.39ImperiosIt's about two prisoners in a Russian army jail; one is generally lucid while the other grows progressively insane
18:18.25ImperiosHe 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"
18:18.40HachimanJesus
18:18.47Imperioshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Elephant there we go, there's a recap on Wikipedia
18:19.49OluapPlayer_dere aint even any green elephants involved
18:19.53OluapPlayer_ive been scammed
18:20.34ImperiosThe insane prisoner sings a song about a green elephant at some point in the movie
18:20.45OluapPlayer_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
18:20.48OluapPlayer_I could swear there was one
18:21.05Imperios>green elekk mount
18:21.08ImperiosFel elekks
18:21.16ImperiosSo that's what eredar use to travel
18:21.21OluapPlayer_kek
18:21.38OluapPlayer_There are fel wolves, fel boars and fel dread ravens
18:21.44OluapPlayer_I'm surprised there aren't any fel elekks
18:23.14ImperiosThe movie also has brilliant acting https://pp.vk.me/c411225/v411225130/59fb/wvgNqkqqv44.jpg

18:27.06OluapPlayer_Considering how much shout-outs there are in WoW I'm surprised there isn't a pink flying elekk mount yet

18:45.00ImperiosOluapPlayer_: How about some Timewalking?
18:45.04ImperiosI still need to do that weekly
18:45.28OluapPlayer_Sure, I need to do it too
18:45.47XhoOluapPlayer_ 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
18:47.56HachimanWe're very near the end of Doctrina at this point
18:48.06HachimanIt's been a long and tiring, but admittedly fun, journey
18:48.21XhoIt's a good story
18:49.34OluapPlayer_emphasis on tiring
18:49.56Xhodat emphasis
18:50.09HachimanOnce we're done, think I'll take a year-long break from doing anything and just sit back and be lazy
18:50.16Xhoayyy what
18:50.24OluapPlayer_nigga dont make me kill you

18:50.47HachimanHi
18:51.15OluapPlayer_Imperios: get in the game
18:51.28Imperiosone sec
18:51.53XhoI was thinking of making a page for an Imperial Inquistion, empire being the Orichalcum Elves
18:52.02XhoAlthough there's not much purpose to making a page
18:52.14HachimanI'd recommend maybe not calling it specifically that
18:52.25HachimanConsidering that's what the... Imperial Inquisition is called
18:52.43XhoInquisitor - aliquams                    Inquisitor - WHAT DID YOU SAY
18:52.44XhoHm
18:52.46XhoGood point
18:53.38dromSo I found a TTRPG engine book named MSpace.
18:53.43dromhttp://www.frostbytebooks.com/
18:54.01dromThey also cover alien creation
18:54.20dromHeck, it covers every basics and details you need to create an universe.
18:54.45HachimanHm seems interesting
18:54.59HachimanMight see if I can pirate it kek
18:54.59dromSee page 24 of this preview PDF (122) https://uploads.strikinglycdn.com/files/48d0e0c8-6fe5-4c0a-b816-dc2ef00fb1a8/M-SPACE%201.0%20PREVIEW.pdf
18:55.33drom:V
18:55.48dromI was also tipsed about Savage Worlds for race creation
18:56.12dromBut I couldn't find any material, someone has however pointed out it is in the core book.
18:57.21TechnobliteratorI don't suppose there's a chance of Borealis War today is there
18:57.23Technobliterator:o
18:57.31Technobliteratorafter your game anyway
18:58.28OluapPlayer_Probably not
18:58.49NeonPandawhy is there talk of TRPGs?
18:59.31dromApparently FrostByte Books is Swedish
18:59.45dromSo... this is a Swedish TTRPG
18:59.52ImperiosXho: Why not some Roman term?
18:59.54ImperiosMake them lictors

19:01.06Hachimankek
19:01.09XhoEven though that's actually Pretoria but you know
19:01.48HachimanPraetorian just seems like a really good and imposing word for something and I dunno if you used it yet
19:02.01XhoPraetors
19:02.02ImperiosOluapPlayer: fug I keep disconencting
19:02.07NeonPandaALL SHALL FEAR THE GENERAL'S TENT
19:02.09XhoPraetors are the Shiarchon Lords
19:02.21HachimanRight
19:02.21XhoWould have probably been used in Orichalcum Elf society as well
19:02.41XhoJusticiar sounds alright because it sounds like the Thalmor and the Thalmor are dicks
19:02.49XhoAs well as the Gold!Inquisition

19:08.26XhoI had an idea that they were established to counteract the Order of Sol and thus they had a fairly heated altercation

20:25.51NeonPandasome ethics and law body is initiating legal action over foreign interests
20:25.57NeonPandaMonet: I mean specific to his presidency
20:26.59Monet<PROTECTED>
20:27.20WormydroidOh?
20:27.27MonetThat's got to be a world record.
20:29.03NeonPandatl;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
20:30.32WormydroidSo they're investigating if he's still tied to them?
20:30.59WormydroidSupposedly his family were taking over
20:31.10The_RandomnessYeah, that's what I heard too
20:32.30GhelaeYou'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.
20:33.41NeonPandaThe 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)

20:36.57NeonPandaAlright, 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
20:37.14NeonPandaso basically, by refusing to divulge his business dealings, he's in direct violation of the constitution
20:37.36The_RandomnessThat's a nice way to start off your presidency
20:37.54MonetThis sounds like a continuation of "Mr. Trump show us your tax returns"
20:38.06The_Randomnessthe sequel?
20:38.08MonetOnly difference now is he doesn't have his army of corporate lawyers to protect him.
20:38.14NeonPandasince it is a known fact that he has dealings with government agencies and corporations
20:38.37NeonPandaMonet: the tax returns are part of it, as a point of note- they're necessary information to absolve him of any wrongdoing
20:38.40Wormydroid_What a delicious spectacle
20:40.48NeonPandaso 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
20:42.13NeonPandawhich realistically should have been a requirement as a candidate to start with, let alone an elected president
20:53.39Technobliteratormeh, now that he's scrapped the TPP, he's outlived his usefulness
20:53.48Technobliteratorso I welcome an impeachmen-oh wait Pence is VP
20:53.49Technobliteratornvm
20:54.56Wormydroid_Hopefully he will rally the liberal left to get a new backbone

22:28.56MonetWell the first variety certainly main and impression.
22:29.13Monetmade an impression*
22:30.46Monet<PROTECTED>
22:31.23DrodoEmpireIts fair to say many Antifa/anarchists/progressives took part in those riots
22:31.42Wormy_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.
22:32.03DrodoEmpire"Alt Right Media"?
22:32.07MonetLeftist - Down with the 1 per-cent! *asmashes Starbucks*           Other Anarchist - Dude we were going to get lattes from there after this!
22:32.22Dinolion92My parents actually went to a Donald Trump protest in LA. No riots occured.
22:32.40MonetOther Leftist*
22:32.46DrodoEmpireWell, yes, I'm not saying every anti-Trump protest ended in a riot
22:32.50Dinolion92Not all anti-Trump people are vigilantes.
22:32.55DrodoEmpireWell dug
22:32.56DrodoEmpire*duh
22:32.59Wormy_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?
22:33.01DrodoEmpireNaturally
22:33.32DrodoEmpireI think its silly to protest a vote, but so long as things don't get out of hand people can demonstrate
22:33.38Dinolion92Most people are decent. Its just those loud few who do riot or do beat up protesters that get the media coverage.
22:33.58DrodoEmpireThat's not much of a defense
22:34.00Wormy_And I imagine they were somekind of anarcho-communist, since they were flying the hammer and sicle as well.  Anarchism comes in many forms.
22:34.13DrodoEmpireMost anarchists there were ancoms yeah
22:34.16Wormy_Lots of anarchists are anti-communist
22:35.15DrodoEmpireBecause 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
22:35.24MonetI 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.
22:35.26DrodoEmpireI'm certain most people don't do this
22:35.36Wormy_DrodoEmpire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoQMav6alLo
22:36.00Dinolion92Personally, 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.
22:36.14Technobliterator^
22:36.15DrodoEmpireExcept that's also silly
22:36.37DrodoEmpireI think both groups are idiots, and many of the same states that voted Obama also voted Trump
22:36.54Dinolion92I agree.
22:37.04TechnobliteratorOnly 3 did, Drodo, in the rust belt
22:37.09Dinolion92I disliked Hillary, but I found Trump much, much worse.
22:37.14Technobliteratortwo-time Obama voters swung it for Trump
22:37.42DrodoEmpireOnly three? Still, fairly significant
22:37.53DrodoEmpireDinolion: exact opposite opinion
22:38.13TechnobliteratorWisconsin, Pennsylvania, I forgot the other one
22:38.14DrodoEmpireI don't like Trump but Clinton was *bad news*
22:38.21TechnobliteratorHe almost took Virginia
22:38.35MonetI think it's a bit of an oversimplification to call treason on the Rust Belt. That's some heavy partisan thinking really.
22:38.40TechnobliteratorUh
22:38.46TechnobliteratorWhen did I call treason on the Rust Belt
22:38.47Technobliterator?_?
22:38.53Monet"two-time Obama Voters"
22:38.58DrodoEmpireWormy_: Calling Rebel Media "alt right" is dumb
22:38.59TechnobliteratorAnd?
22:39.02MonetOKay maybe not treason
22:39.03DrodoEmpireThey're conservative, sure
22:39.04Wormy_Anyway, I'm interested in what peaceful individualist anarchists do, often what we don't hear about, rather than an ideology
22:39.09TechnobliteratorI don't blame them for it
22:39.24TechnobliteratorThey voted Obama twice because he offered them change, this time, they voted Trump because he promised to oppose trade deals
22:39.40Technobliteratorand because he was the one who represented the outsider promising change this time
22:39.49Technobliteratorthat's how the election was narrowly swung to Trump
22:39.51DrodoEmpireYeah 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
22:39.57DrodoEmpire*"not all" defense
22:40.16Wormy_What are you talking aboyt?
22:40.28DrodoEmpireThunderfoot video, thusfar
22:40.30TechnobliteratorDrodoEmpire, I only thought Clinton was bad news because she wouldn't receive nearly the same backlash for doing awful stuff that Trump would receive
22:40.39Technobliteratorand thus, would not be held accountable
22:40.40CyrannianMaybe you guys should take it to the other channel
22:41.11Wormy_Drodo:  Sorry, thought you were commenting on something I said
22:41.12Technobliteratorto the -offtopic mobile
22:41.16Technobliterator:o
22:41.34Dinolion92Technobliterator: I actually feel that Trump received less backlash then Hillary.
22:42.38TechnobliteratorThe 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?
22:42.39Technobliteratoranyway
22:42.48Technobliterator#sporewiki-offtopic - you can discuss it here
22:43.35DrodoEmpireTechnobliterator: Was that to me? :p
22:43.44DrodoEmpireBecause yeah the women's march was very peaceful
22:43.54Technobliteratorno, it was to the comment that pinged me
22:43.56Technobliterator:P
22:44.08DrodoEmpireAh
22:44.43Dinolion92So, how was your guys' weekends?
22:45.04TechnobliteratorI confess to not really knowing about the riots, but
22:45.13TechnobliteratorI remember when we were hit with riots a few years ago
22:45.16Technobliteratorit's rough

23:24.35MonetNice.
23:24.58Monet"But the Order of Sol must be reminded time and time again - we are the Imperator's. Not them." sums up their attitude nicely
23:25.10XhoLonginus - bunch of twats really
23:26.14XhoThat being said the Iusticiarii never really wanted to go into open conflict with the Order of Sol
23:27.56XhoThey may have the numbers but pumped up Imperial Guards don't really last against eight thousand heliomancers
23:33.13XhoTyndarus Sparax and Longinus probably didn't get along all that well
23:37.43XhoI like writing about Orichalcum Elf lore
23:38.28DrodoEmpire_Huh
23:38.37Xhodid u not c the link
23:38.59DrodoEmpire_Just clicked
23:39.05DrodoEmpire_I was doing my own thing, sorry

23:42.56DrodoEmpire_Hi
23:43.05The_RandomnessHello
23:43.21DrodoEmpire_Xho: They remind me of the Praetorian Guard
23:43.33DrodoEmpire_Being a royal guard/secret police
23:44.43XhoIt was originally going to be an Inquistion
23:44.52XhoBut we already have an Inquisition
23:44.53DrodoEmpire_Ahh
23:44.58DrodoEmpire_Yeah hur
23:45.06XhoSo they're called the Iusticiarii, or Justiciars
23:45.12DrodoEmpire_How many of them were there, like at their peak even?
23:45.14DrodoEmpire_Rite
23:45.16Xho250,000
23:45.21DrodoEmpire_Holy
23:45.35XhoThis is in an empire of roughly 35 million at its peak
23:45.42DrodoEmpire_Jesus
23:46.03DrodoEmpire_250k easily sounds like the size of the Imperial military
23:46.08MonetOr was.
23:46.18DrodoEmpire_Though if they'
23:46.32XhoThe Imperial Legion (Orichalcum Elves) was about 5 million at its peak
23:47.08XhoHalf of it was wiped out in a battle against Void Denizens under what might have been a ploy to reduce the population
23:47.10DrodoEmpire_Does the 35 million figure include non-elves, slaves, etc. ?
23:47.10XhoKind of worked
23:47.18XhoDrodoEmpire_: More or less
23:47.21DrodoEmpire_Yikes
23:47.34XhoSlave populace might not be counted there
23:47.35DrodoEmpire_So over 1 out of 7 inhabitants was an armed, paid member of the army?
23:47.44XhoPretty much
23:47.50XhoIt was a word filled with demonic monsters
23:47.54Xhoworld
23:47.55DrodoEmpire_Right, best not because I'm not sure how such a nation would fund an army <.<
23:48.12DrodoEmpire_I can see the slave population being vast, though, which'd pick up the slack
23:48.16XhoWell it plays into their biology really
23:48.31XhoOrichalcum Elves are comparatively god like so they'd rely on much less essentials to survive
23:48.38DrodoEmpire_*a nation would fund such an army
23:48.43DrodoEmpire_Hm, okay
23:48.52XhoAs for equipment, well that would be the main expense
23:49.18XhoI mean the Iusticiarii effectively bankrupted the Empire in its first incarnation
23:49.18DrodoEmpire_So they'd need less agricultural resources, and the farming necessary could be passed off to slaves
23:49.23DrodoEmpire_Ah
23:50.14Wormy_Xho:  Thar's the name of the offworlders, yeah
23:50.27Xhorite
23:50.54Wormy_"linnormr" is the name of the iced up ringworld
23:51.03Wormy_"Lindworm" in English
23:51.19Xhoew
23:51.51XhoDrodoEmpire: I've calculated it collectively spent 1.3 quadrillion nomismata on the Iusticiarii in its first form
23:52.19XhoIt basically fucked the entire world up
23:52.24Wormy_Its a snake like serpentine deity that was said to coil three and half times around the base of old barrows
23:52.47DrodoEmpire_O.o
23:52.58DrodoEmpire_That's a lot of money
23:53.00MonetRegarding numbers. On earth even one in 10 being soldiers was considered difficult to sustain.
23:53.06DrodoEmpire_Yeah
23:53.23MonetEven back in the Middle Ages with peasant levies, right?
23:53.28DrodoEmpire_^
23:53.44DrodoEmpire_Though the nature of the Imperium and its lead species could mean that the Elves could dedicate themselves more to non-farming/economic roles
23:53.47DrodoEmpire_Be a caste, almost
23:53.59XhoThat's pretty much it
23:54.08DrodoEmpire_The soldiers, rulers, merchants, etc., while slaves and subject peoples do the agriculture
23:54.16DrodoEmpire_And aren't counted in censuses/estimates
23:54.17XhoEspecially since one Orichalcum Elf usually lived the life of twenty men
23:54.31XhoAt least anyway
23:55.02XhoIt would have a very bizarre dynamic in the Imperium
23:55.15XhoMassive swarthes of fleeting lives serving an immortal species
23:55.15DrodoEmpire_So perhaps its more accurate to say that 1 in 7 elves are in the army, but not necessarily 1 in 7 inhabitants
23:55.43DrodoEmpire_Which *would* lead to pretty instant collapse
23:55.43XhoMakes sense
23:55.48XhoMaybe
23:56.03XhoThis was during a 1,200 year long tyranny mind you
23:56.13XhoMoney went out of the window
23:56.35DrodoEmpire_As in they were rich or they debased their currency and decided the next guy would deal with it
23:56.36DrodoEmpire_*?
23:56.52XhoMore the latter
23:56.54XhoIt got even worse
23:56.56DrodoEmpire_Ahh, makes sense
23:57.09DrodoEmpire_Happened a lot with Chinese emperors, especially during the Mind
23:57.12DrodoEmpire_*Ming
23:57.57XhoThe Orichalcum Elves didn't really need money to some degree
23:58.09DrodoEmpire_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
23:58.12XhoIt was more of a position of luxury than anything
23:58.57DrodoEmpire_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
23:59.03Xhowow
23:59.17XhoThe 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
23:59.35DrodoEmpire_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
23:59.37XhoThat being said the armour they wore was worth a fortune if it was ever to be sold
23:59.45DrodoEmpire_*type of coins that'd be accepted
23:59.49The_RandomnessDrodoEmpire_: man, that's nutty
