00:23.20MonetWormy you might like this.
00:25.00Wormy_awayKind of reminds me of morphic resonance, except for individuals
00:26.55MonetTrue.
00:30.22MonetImp and I discussed it under a working description of "memory energy"
00:31.09MonetBut places of great art or design being focusing areas could explain why despite the Teachings being somewhat Confucian, the Draconis build cathedrals and grand palces everywhere.

08:58.37Groxkiller98It should really be on the guide for writing warfare.

09:26.19Liquid_InkPretty cool
09:28.57Groxkiller98Thanks.
09:32.50Groxkiller98Liquid, we should probably start some planning on where your Order and the Mithadorn conflict is going to start.
09:33.01Groxkiller98Or am I thinking of someone else?
09:33.03Groxkiller98>_>
09:33.43Liquid_InkThat's me

09:35.47Liquid_InkOh, I'm sorry, I've gotten you mixed up
09:35.58Groxkiller98Why would I want to fight an empire I have a good relation with, who is in another galaxy?

11:28.17NeonPandaREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
11:28.55Groxkiller98XD
11:29.30Groxkiller98So, I'm thinking of writing a terrorist faction. The kind that steal superweapons and use them on civilian worlds to start wars.
11:31.57OluapPlayerNeonPanda: But you can just run past it
11:32.05OluapPlayerUnless you want to get all the items there
11:32.16NeonPandabut I managed to get through to the place iwth the lion people
11:32.17OluapPlayerThen untargetable ghosts may show up
11:32.32NeonPandathe untargetable ghosts were what prompted the REEE
11:32.50NeonPandaI talked to the severed head, got the chloranthy ring upgrade and then just buggered off to the next zone
11:32.58OluapPlayerI find the lion guys worse, they attack too often
11:33.22NeonPandaI'm a sorcerer, I can't even attack the ghost guys
11:33.38NeonPandathe lions are easy to dodge, so I don't have too much trouble with them

15:40.29ImperiosVall: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/File:Missionistus_Symbol.png Look what I made a few days ago
15:43.18VallImperios: Wow!  It looks way better now!
15:43.42VallSo what did you decide about them?
15:44.40ImperiosWe could probably use them as a military order which is part of the Uniate League, maybe they could at some point go on a crusade to Cyrannus?
15:45.46VallOk sounds good
15:46.02VallDo you want some help with the page?
15:46.29ImperiosYeah
15:46.44ImperiosBTW I based the look of that emblem on military orders and medals
15:47.59ImperiosSo in-universe, I imagine that active members of the Missionistus could wear that symbol on their helmets, or as a patch on their uniforms, or as a pin
15:48.30ImperiosWait, not a pin, a brooch
15:48.33ImperiosThat's the word
15:52.27VallI like that
15:52.36VallLoved the banner

16:45.29ImperiosYay someone remembers Ctesiphon
16:46.01DrodoEmpireCtesiphon is a city
16:46.06DrodoEmpireDo you mean Xenophon?
16:46.42ImperiosNo I mean the city
16:46.47ImperiosAs in the capital of the Sassanid Empire
16:46.58DrodoEmpireRight, right
16:47.18ImperiosActually wait, was it even an important city back then?
16:47.22DrodoEmpireI dunno if its brought up there, is all, so I'm curious what made you think of it?
16:47.30DrodoEmpireOh yeah I did bring it up
16:47.32DrodoEmpireWell
16:47.36DrodoEmpireIt existed, I'm sure
16:47.39ImperiosThe Achaemenid capital was in Persepolis wasn't it
16:47.57DrodoEmpireAh fuck
16:48.07DrodoEmpireI got my cities mixed up after all
16:48.11DrodoEmpireYes, Persepolis
16:49.00Imperioshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ctesiphon#History Yeah, just checked, Parthians were the first to use this city as a capital
16:49.07DrodoEmpire^
16:49.40DrodoEmpireFixed
16:50.48ImperiosI think Persia as a civilisation is underappreciated
16:51.23DrodoEmpireIndeed
16:52.04ImperiosIt's probably one of the most long-lived and resilient cultures in history, save for China
16:53.01ImperiosInvaded by Greeks, then Romans, then Arabs, then the Mongols and the Turks, all while retaining their language and culture

18:02.01ImperiosI scrambled it from various crowns on Wikipedia Commons
18:06.58ImperiosVall: Just curious, did you have anything particular in mind when making the black-orange stripy symbol for the Missionistus?
18:06.59DrodoEmpireHm
18:07.53DrodoEmpireI mean, I dunno if it looks "too human", really the question you should be asking yourself is if it fits the artstyle and theme for Spodism in general, or the society this faction hails from
18:08.11DrodoEmpireIf it does, then go for it-- I think it looks pretty cool
18:08.56ImperiosBecause a black-orange stripy circle is actually the main symbol of the Russian Army https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/Cocarde_Russie_2006.jpg/200px-Cocarde_Russie_2006.jpg

18:09.26ImperiosAh
18:10.48VallSince it was a crusade intended to protect spodist belief from the growing psionic practices.
18:11.41ImperiosAh
18:12.31ImperiosI actually wonder where this anti-psionic prejudice comes from
18:12.45ImperiosSince Radeons are psychic I imagine that Essence usage in Spodist nations is generally accepted
18:13.07ImperiosBut perhaps psionic energy was seen as something abnormal, as it was different to the elemental essences that Spodists typically used

18:18.00ImperiosHi Mon
18:19.06Monethi
18:20.41ImperiosVall: Come to think about it. Compared to Radeon psychic abilities (and I imagine their practices form the basis for Spodist psychic schools), which focus more on telepathy, Krassio psionics were much more combat-oriented
18:21.01ImperiosSo perhaps the Missionistus saw psionics as something inherently violent and dangerous?
18:21.06ImperiosIncorrectly, of course
18:21.56VallYeah,  maybe
18:22.35VallThe reason remains a mystery lol
18:23.10VallThey failed to see that that psionic philosphy would be key in the War of Ages

18:47.39ImperiosBut I never actually RP as Mezzalt
18:48.19OluapPlayerYou have a backstory for the gnome?
18:48.27ImperiosYeah, it's kind of silly
18:49.01ImperiosShe came from an alchemist family who made potions, but left it to instead use her alchemical skills to make booze

18:50.36ImperiosSince then she has been plotting revenge on this brewmaster
18:50.56OluapPlayerOh wow
18:51.24ImperiosLiterally learned martial arts to eventually find this panda and punch him to death
18:51.58ImperiosI really should add Mezzalt to the fantasyverse
18:51.59MonetWait.

18:53.48OluapPlayerAlso I thought she was called Mezzalt because she was an alt character
18:54.02MonetOne pub he got beaten up by a bunch of monks and after waking up thought "Wow those guys know how to fight, I want to learn how to punch like they do!"
18:54.49ImperiosNah she's my main
18:55.04ImperiosMezzalt is just something Italian-sounding I made up
18:55.34ImperiosI think it comes from musical terms if I remember correctly
18:55.39ImperiosMezzo-soprano and alto-soprano
18:55.51Imperios*alto
18:55.53OluapPlayerI'd make a gnome too but going through all the effort of leveling up to 110 and working on artifact power and reputations
18:55.56OluapPlayerNot willing to do that
18:57.26ImperiosYou should boost a Horde char
18:57.29ImperiosThen we can level together
18:57.55OluapPlayerI intend to make a Horde char for the sake of collecting Horde mounts
18:57.55ImperiosI have two 100-level Hordes, a pandaren priest and an orc shamaness
18:58.00OluapPlayerProbably a troll
18:58.02ImperiosYes shamaness
18:58.04ImperiosI am weird

19:01.55ImperiosYes but nobody plays female orcs
19:02.04OluapPlayerAgain if it weren't for the grind I'd make a gnome and probably also a draenei

19:09.39HachimanBut can I give my draenei waifu turbo tits
19:09.47DrodoEmpireayy lmao
19:09.47MonetNo
19:10.11MonetAll tits are created equal..for their species.
19:11.51ImperiosDraenei tits are big in general
19:11.58ImperiosI think they are the most buxom race in the game
19:12.03ImperiosMaybe the NE can compare
19:12.10ImperiosOr perhaps the tauren but... well...
19:13.14Monet<PROTECTED>

19:15.10MonetThe one on the left is the more up-to-date design.

20:55.55DrodoEmpireAnd only the Russians were crazy enough to say "yes, this make gud home"
20:56.03DanzaDelMondoI think the bloodiest part of Russia's history was the Caucasian War
20:56.04DrodoEmpire>.>
20:56.13DanzaDelMondoI mean before the Revolution
20:56.20MonetThe Enlightenment coincided with the colonial empires.
20:56.24DanzaDelMondoAnd not counting Napoleon and the like
20:56.29DanzaDelMondoTalking only about colonial history basically
20:56.34DrodoEmpireIt did
20:57.07DanzaDelMondoThe people of North Caucasus were really tenacious and resisted Russian imperialism fervently
20:57.15CyrannianDanzaDelMondo: Ireland was in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until 1922, and two of my relatives fought in the British Army in WW1, so dere
20:57.39DrodoEmpireReally colonialism and the rise of global trade is a very complicated subject that can't be said to be "good" or "bad"
20:58.10DanzaDelMondoSince Caucasus is mountainous, they used the landscape to their advantage, ambushing invading Russian forces from the forested highlands
20:58.20DanzaDelMondoKind of like Scots
20:59.43DrodoEmpireIt just is-- the actors that participated could be good or bad, but that's not terribly useful to say because history isn't just a series of "great men" that can be credited for phenomena as large as, say, the transatlantic slave trade or the reign of terror over Fujian in the 15-1600s.
21:00.16DanzaDelMondoIt was inherent to the era, and one could say they did not have a choice

21:00.43DrodoEmpireYeah I'm firmly of the belief that if the guy who *did* do something bad didn't do it, it'd be somebody else a couple years later
21:01.02DrodoEmpireBecause historical forces are what drive it all, with few exceptions
21:01.17DrodoEmpireThat hat is incredible
21:01.18DanzaDelMondo"Small nations need big blades."
21:01.36DrodoEmpire(One exception to this rule might be Alexander the Great-- that was pretty surprising)
21:01.57DanzaDelMondoThere's a pretty funny story regarding this guy
21:02.02DrodoEmpireBut that's about it
21:02.03DrodoEmpireOh?
21:02.28DanzaDelMondoA Russian general entered a Caucasian village where Shamil resided, demanding that they submit to the Russian Empire
21:02.46TechnobliteratorI have no idea what to name this section :|
21:02.57TechnobliteratorEveryone Hates UNO doesn't sound good
21:03.22DanzaDelMondoWhen Shamil asked him why Russia conquers other nations, the general responded that Russia's goal is to bring its high culture to barbarians
21:04.00DanzaDelMondoShamil commanded a local villager to come and show them his feet, and then asked a Russian soldier to do the same
21:04.22DanzaDelMondoThe villagers, being Muslims, partook in ritual cleansing, and their feet were completely clean, whereas those of Russians, well...
21:04.42DanzaDelMondoShamil laughed, and asked if *that* was the culture that Russia meant to bring to his homeland
21:05.03DrodoEmpireHuh
21:05.14ZF101I betcha that Russian general wanted to put his foot in his mouth after that one.
21:05.31DrodoEmpire*ba dum tiss*

21:14.57HachimanWhoops
21:15.29Xhohttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Orichalcum_Elf_Imperium/Iusticiarii#History Well that's the history done
21:20.33CyrannianVery nice work
21:21.24dino82_interessting Xho1
21:23.09XhoI had an idea for a possible solo fiction I was gonna do
21:23.23Monetokay
21:23.30XhoI was gonna do Orichalcum Elf epics in the old-school style structure
21:25.00XhoThere's a fair few moments in Orichalcum Elf history worth making epics of
21:25.08Xho25,000 years you'd sure hope so
21:27.03XhoAurtalvaseius would probably be the one to do an epic about
21:27.03MonetDefinitely
21:27.29XhoIf anyone forgot Aurtalvaseius was the founder of the Imperium as well as the dragonrider of the Sun Colossus
21:28.00XhoMore than likely of divine blood since ancient era elves
21:28.32MonetSo god-king to boot
21:28.35XhoThat and the apparent progenitor of the royal family, so Septimus would be a descendant of this guy
21:28.36MonetMakes sense
21:28.38XhoMore or less
21:28.41XhoGOD-EMPEROR OF ELVENKIND
21:29.27XhoKeleivel would be another one, also another god-emperor of elvenkind
21:29.39XhoAlthough has physical evidence of his existence other than a spear
21:31.28XhoArguably polarised in historical discussion as to whether he was a benevolent emperor or a ruthless dictator on the account of him ruling the entire south
21:32.37XhoAlthough legends of his conquests would have survived
21:32.47XhoAnd the probable war with the Sohet
21:32.52HachimanHathgar - he was an elf        he was bad either way
21:33.04XhoSeptimus - bad call      but probably right
21:33.39XhoReally past Aurtalvaseius and Keleivel there were no other god emperors
21:33.48XhoWhich probably implies the two were related
21:34.40XhoI'd do a page on Aurtalvaseius but I don't really know what to do for a model
21:34.44XhoI need to do Keleivel's page as well
21:35.49*** join/#sporewiki Tek0516 (uid149600@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-aarcywazxtoftggr)
21:35.56XhoKeleivel was the emperor all emperors after him idolised, mainly because Keleivel was tangible and Aurtalvaseius was legendary at best
21:35.58XhoHi
21:37.58XhoShould probably do his model
21:41.55MonetMigth be cool

22:29.07MonetWhat Zaarkhun did is something I've wanted to do with the DI for a while.
22:31.18MonetInformation warfare; when the Imperium attacks, the RIA works secretly to support anti-government media, maybe even stuff to cast the Imperium in a favourable light.
22:32.28ImpyDroidTechnobliterator: SINCE THE UNO ENTERING, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CRIMES, INVASIONS, THE DEMONS COMING IN AND THE MONEY COMING OUT
22:32.48Technobliterator:P
22:33.03TechnobliteratorI sort of wanted to make the transition to the Business of War more realistic this time around

22:42.31TechnobliteratorImpyDroid,  http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Second_Borealis_Galactic_War/Part_1#Mending_Relations :o
22:43.12DrodoEmpireThat's the problem with fiction reading for me-- I want to but I read so much other stuff too
22:43.22DrodoEmpireI have two or three books on the go at any given time
22:43.51DrodoEmpire(I'm reading "1493" and "Dune" atm)
22:45.23DrodoEmpireTechnobliterator: I've always wondered-- is "Vague" said with normally or with like a long a?
22:45.34DrodoEmpirei.e "Vahgue" as opposed to "Vague"
22:45.46DrodoEmpire*said as it is normally
22:45.48TechnobliteratorThe latter
22:46.06DrodoEmpireLong a then?
22:46.43OluapPlayerIt's said like the normal word
22:46.52OluapPlayerThey're called Vague because their purpose is left vague
22:46.58MonetTheir full name is "Vague Fate"
22:47.17DrodoEmpireMakes sense yeah

22:47.54CyrannianHate my bloody job, just found out that a really crappy survey which ended yesterday will be back tomorrow, which will involve calling people who lack basic manners for another three weeks ughhh
22:48.13OluapPlayerur kind of people then hurhurhur
22:49.57CyrannianAnd I hate the whole happy, friendly, "how are you" routine I have to put on. Just once I'd like to say "well I'm not particularly interested in talking to you either you failure of a human being"
22:50.28MonetI have a few friends who work in service.
22:50.41DrodoEmpireYeah I never understood why people are so rude to people who work in services
22:51.03MonetGeneral message I get is you gotta be sociable even if the customer is an idiot. Which is about 80% of them
22:51.48DrodoEmpireI've always been really courteous to people like that, because I get that they're just doing their job and its wrong to lash out at them :p
22:52.24CyrannianI mean, if I'm being honest, I wouldn't necessarily do an opinion poll either if I was occupied, but I wouldn't rudely hang up as soon as the person on the other line began speaking
22:52.28DrodoEmpireWhy people twice or three times my age also don't understand that I don't know
22:52.31MonetAs much of a psychological hammer as it is, an unhappy customer might tell people, which would impact sales.
22:52.41DrodoEmpireCyrannian: Exactly
22:53.13DrodoEmpireIt doesn't take much to just apologise and say you're busy, or to not pick up-- at least that way you aren't being as much of a dick :p
22:53.26DrodoEmpireOr rather, the recipient of the call
22:54.10CyrannianI mean I don't get why they do that either, it isn't a sales company, we just do opinion polls and customer satisfaction surveys on behalf of various phone or internet providers
22:55.22CyrannianPlus since this particularly survey is conducted in Northern Ireland, there are people who don't want to speak to someone from the Republic
22:55.40MonetOuch
22:56.26DrodoEmpireOh dear
22:56.55CyrannianSo I'll be working from 13:30 to 20:00 tomorrow and 10:00 to 17:00 on Saturday, so I'm not optimistic about the next few days
22:57.07DrodoEmpire>.<
22:57.32OluapPlayerrip waptor extincted via angry irishmen
22:59.36DrodoEmpireNow I just imagine a bunch of terrified velociraptors being chased by axe-swinging Gallowglasses and rifle-toting IRA guys
23:01.49OluapPlayerVelociraptor - i wish i was back at the island opening doors and eating children
23:02.38CyrannianThe whole thing has me like, "no it's okay Britain, please keep Northern Ireland, and since you won't be in the EU anymore either, better build a massive border wall"
23:03.47MonetNo more walls plz.
23:03.57MonetWalls only keep people apart.
23:04.05DrodoEmpirethrows a tarp over his bricks and mortar
23:04.07DrodoEmpire<.<
23:04.25CyrannianIf you spoke to them on the phone you'd want them as far away as possible too hur
23:04.47CyrannianI'm exaggerating of course, occasionally you get a really lovely person who makes your day
23:05.08CyrannianLike an elderly person who just wants some company, which hits me in the feels
23:05.26DrodoEmpire>:
23:05.28MonetIt's those calls that make the system worth it
23:05.46OluapPlayersomeone about as old as the time raptors existed
23:07.48MonetI have a few friends who work in PC World.
23:08.45MonetAnd I once tried to apply for a job at an Apple store. Reflecting on what people say about service, it might be a good thing they silently turned me down.
23:09.01DrodoEmpirehur
23:09.47DrodoEmpireI work parttime for a traffic safety company. While not working services, per se, I do work in Planning, which is basically calling the TCPs (the guys who hold the signs on the roads) and telling them their work for tomorrow, or the next few days
23:09.51CyrannianI think I'd prefer face-to-face rather than over the phone, it's just that this job has flexible hours which is handy for juggling it with my course
23:10.04DrodoEmpireMost of them are nice, but we got some real assholes working for us, too >.<
23:10.20MonetNot simply the sort of people who buy Apple, looking back, there's something cult-y about Apple's staff culture.
23:10.26DrodoEmpireEw
23:10.32DrodoEmpireI hear the same shit about WalMart
23:10.44DrodoEmpireWhere they have this weird cult atmosphere in some outlets
23:11.02MonetLike everyone's part of the Apple Family.
23:11.13DrodoEmpireThat sorta attitude makes my skin crawl
23:11.26CyrannianI'm going to go scream into a pillow or something, maybe that'll get me to sleep. Toodles.
23:11.31DrodoEmpirekk
23:11.41DrodoEmpireI'm a guy who stocks shelves-- I'm not part of no family >.<
23:11.50DrodoEmpireLoyalty to a company is something acquired, methinks
23:13.14MonetIf only there was a Sainsbury's in Canada.
23:15.43MonetI can't say I've seen a WalMart in the UK but apparently they own UK supermarket chain Asda.
23:16.05DrodoEmpireHuh

23:18.04MonetFortunately I've only been in an Asda store a couple of times and I've seen no greeters
23:19.07Monethttp://gizmodo.com/why-scientists-are-planning-their-own-march-on-washingt-1791618754 love that sign

23:22.02DrodoEmpireayy lmao
23:22.26DrodoEmpireMonet: Yeah having greeters might be more of an American thing
23:22.34DrodoEmpireI've never seen them in Canada
23:29.56MonetI dun need some guy acting like some native guide.
