| 00:26.38 | DrodoEmpire | Do italics show up on page titles? |
| 00:27.39 | Wormy_ | I'm not sure. I have seen titles in italics, but I think it needs to be allowed on the commons style sheet |
| 00:28.23 | DrodoEmpire | Ahh. |
| 00:28.34 | DrodoEmpire | That sucks, as the title's gonna have a shipname in it <.< |
| 00:28.58 | DrodoEmpire | I dunno, I'll ask Tech once she's on and I can rename it later with the new knowledge |
| 00:29.59 | Monet | We've got ship names that aren't italics. |
| 00:30.10 | Monet | So not too serious |
| 00:30.37 | Wormy_ | try it |
| 00:31.21 | Wormy_ | actually looking on Wikipedia where I've seen it, they use a template https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Italic_title |
| 00:40.33 | DrodoEmpire | I'll try it, thanks |
| 00:41.32 | Wormy_ | <PROTECTED> |
| 00:42.09 | Wormy_ | Ah it uses Lua |
| 00:42.16 | Wormy_ | Might need to be imported |
| 00:43.31 | DrodoEmpire | I'll just ask if Tech knows how >.< |
| 00:43.39 | DrodoEmpire | I tried a couple things and I fucked it up |
| 00:43.42 | DrodoEmpire | Thanks anyway |
| 00:44.50 | Wormy_ | One solution uses js here, for mediawiki.js http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Italic_title http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki%3ACommon.js |
| 00:44.59 | Wormy_ | but its old |
| 00:45.31 | Wormy_ | I could have a go |
| 00:46.16 | DrodoEmpire | Go ahead |
| 00:49.15 | Wormy_ | If I add the js, you could try and implement italic title from fossil wiki |
| 00:54.33 | Wormy_ | Of course I don't know whether we should debate having italic titles on the wiki, aesthetically |
| 00:56.44 | Wormy_ | Certain binomial names for genus and species |
| 01:04.04 | Wormy_ | Okay, if you want to copy this go ahead. Just put a comment to the original source for politeness http://fossil.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Italictitle?action=edit |
| 01:04.57 | Wormy_ | And it may not work straight away since A) the js needs reviewing B) cache will need clearing C) solution is old or not enough templates are documented |
| 01:05.02 | DrodoEmpire | Oh, jesus christ |
| 01:05.05 | DrodoEmpire | xD |
| 01:05.14 | DrodoEmpire | I was expecting something... simpler |
| 01:05.26 | DrodoEmpire | I'll take a look though |
| 01:07.44 | Wormy_ | I think we may need more docs but its not clear what |
| 01:16.52 | Wormy_ | Well you see span id in the template is calling a document element in the common.js called "RealTemplate" |
| 01:17.43 | Wormy_ | Then I think the template gives two choices: have the full title as italic or part of it |

| 01:35.39 | DrodoEmpire | Hey thanks Wormy |
| 01:36.24 | Wormy_ | Its alright. I'm not expecting it to work though |
| 01:36.55 | Wormy_ | If it doesn't we could get Techno's or Wikia's help. I;m also not sure what other users will think |
| 01:37.14 | Wormy_ | goodnight |
| 01:37.19 | DrodoEmpire | Night! |
| 01:37.32 | DrodoEmpire | Its an italicised title, for a shipname. They'll be alright xD |
| 01:38.27 | DrodoEmpire | Its a deviation from conventional title structure perhaps, buut not a radical change in page structure |
| 01:38.39 | DrodoEmpire | So... Eh, I don't see the issue personally |
| 01:38.39 | Wormy_ | I know, but editing the commons is sort of a big deal |
| 01:38.45 | DrodoEmpire | Right, right |
| 01:38.51 | Wormy_ | I might get scolded :P |

| 03:13.39 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 03:14.08 | DrodoEmpire | Essentially, they're Aztecs, but they have access to a form of omnipurpose utility fog-- nanites |
| 03:14.51 | DrodoEmpire | These nanites can do practically anything-- power a system of stargates with which they connect their civilisation, bind and seal things like spaceships made of stone, propel things, compute, and so on |
| 03:15.13 | DrodoEmpire | Granted, they're not particularly -good- at any one thing, but they can do it all almost |
| 03:16.07 | DrodoEmpire | Due to closedmindedness, the youth of their society, and their lack of need to innovate though their actual tech beyond these gifts remains basically the same as it had since they've been transplanted |
| 03:16.57 | DrodoEmpire | Oh yeah and through a special integration procedure/ritual they can integrate the nanites into their most elite warriors, making them nigh-immortal supersoldiers |
| 03:17.51 | DrodoEmpire | As they can regenerate most wounds-- interestingly, the nanites have trouble repairing the tearing, sawing wounds traditional Aztec weapons inflict. Plus they have no real way of ejecting bits of obsidian stuck in the wound |
| 03:19.18 | Tek0516 | O.o |
| 03:19.33 | Tek0516 | SporeWiki technology in a nutshell. :P |
| 03:20.07 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 03:20.42 | DrodoEmpire | I also have an Aztec char in the works, Yolotli, who, of course, is one of these elites |
| 03:20.48 | DrodoEmpire | A Jaguar Warrior to be precise |
| 03:22.28 | DrodoEmpire | And... Well I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that, once the gigaquadrant becomes aware of the Neo-Aztecs and their prowess, the Drodo king may recruit a small contingent of elite warriors from them as a sort or royal guard |
| 03:22.36 | DrodoEmpire | *of royal guard |
| 03:23.14 | DrodoEmpire | Think of the swiss or varangian guard, but more... tearing-out-heart-ish? |
| 03:23.43 | Tek0516 | O.o |
| 03:25.18 | DrodoEmpire | I figure that, on top of the regular honour guard that would always follow a monarch he would also have a few Jaguar Warriors by his side, perhaps acting as his most trusted personal guard |
| 03:26.16 | DrodoEmpire | Because no emperor is complete without an exotic bodyguard to fall back on <.< |

| 17:18.20 | Ghelae | Rather than C6H12O6 + 6 O2 â 6 CO2 + 6 H2O, you'd expect something like C6H18N6 + 12 H2 â 6 CH4 + 6 NH3. |

| 17:21.17 | Ghelae | In number of molecules, yes, but also remember that twelve moles of hydrogen is a lot lighter than six moles of oxygen. |

| 19:00.48 | Imperios | Luxor: Depending on the species |
| 19:01.09 | Imperios | If it's an important one, I do elaborate on it somewhat |
| 19:01.24 | Luxor | perhaps your internet provider caught you on squatting like a western szpion |

| 19:08.35 | Hachiman | Yes, Swinehound |
| 19:09.12 | drom | I'm thinking "Pathpig" |
| 19:11.40 | Hachiman | I did something clever with the name 'Fearh' haw haw |
| 19:12.09 | Hachiman | It's like the Old English term for 'farrow' or something, which is stuff to do with pigs |

| 19:39.12 | DrodoEmpire | Hi |
| 19:41.26 | dino82_ | hi back again :D |
| 19:46.03 | dino82_ | seems quite on the wiki at the moment D: |
| 19:47.06 | Hachiman | Just a bit yeah |
| 19:48.51 | Hachiman | Imperios: I wonder how magic is supposed to work in DotA's world |
| 19:50.23 | Imperios | Hachiman: That depends on the character |
| 19:50.52 | Imperios | Though it appears that in most cases it requires some sort of channeling item |
| 19:51.04 | Hachiman | Like a catalyst |
| 19:51.14 | Imperios | Yes, wands and staves |
| 19:51.30 | Hachiman | It'd be fun to have a Rubick-esque character whose magic proficiency is copying spells and whatnot |
| 19:51.43 | dino82_ | :d |
| 19:52.15 | Hachiman | Makes me wonder who would win in an actual confrontation between Rubick and Invoker |
| 19:52.16 | Imperios | From what one can deduce from Invoker's backstory, magical catalysts may contain bound spells within them, or otherwise make spells easier to cast |
| 19:52.21 | Imperios | In-game? |
| 19:52.22 | Imperios | Invoker |
| 19:52.30 | Hachiman | I more meant lore-wise |
| 19:52.39 | Imperios | Lore-wise, Rubick defeated Invoker once |
| 19:52.43 | Hachiman | Oh he did? |
| 19:52.51 | Imperios | It is heavily implied |
| 19:53.01 | Imperios | Rubick became the Grand Magus by defeating all other Magi |
| 19:53.19 | Imperios | He also calls Invoker the "Arsenal Magus" which was apparently his old title |
| 19:53.26 | Hachiman | Huh cool |
| 19:54.11 | Imperios | Though Rubick may not have defeated him himself |
| 19:54.28 | Imperios | He defeated the other Magi by copying their spells and causing confusion among them |
| 19:54.54 | Imperios | So perhaps some other Magus was tricked by Rubick into fighting Invoker |
| 19:55.03 | Imperios | Presumably several considering how powerful he is |
| 19:55.13 | Hachiman | Invoker's main schtick is being able to cast almost any kind of magic right? |
| 19:56.20 | Imperios | Yeah |
| 19:56.40 | Imperios | That, and his spells are (both in-game and lore-wise) considerably more powerful |
| 19:57.17 | Imperios | He is the sole practitioner of the ancient form of magic that does *not* require wands, which is said to be stronger, but harder to learn |
| 19:57.44 | Monet | As you do. |
| 19:57.46 | Hachiman | Right, that's pretty awesome |
| 19:58.48 | Imperios | It essentially required a very good memory, as one had to memorise the mental formula perfectly |
| 19:58.52 | Imperios | Which Invoker apparently has |
| 19:59.22 | Hachiman | So, basically magic maths |
| 19:59.23 | Imperios | Though I am not sure if he can cast modern magic, I think he relies on a handful of most powerful ancient spells |
| 19:59.31 | Imperios | Yeah |
| 19:59.46 | Imperios | Hachiman: https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/0/06/Rubick_ally_01.mp3 There you go |
| 20:00.19 | Hachiman | What even is Rubick, is he supposed to be human hur |
| 20:03.28 | Imperios | Uncertain |
| 20:03.40 | Imperios | But he's likely a human in armour |
| 20:06.42 | Hachiman | It annoys me a little how disconnected and shallow bits and pieces of the lore are in DotA given that the characters are rather interesting |
| 20:07.41 | Imperios | There are several important mythoses composed of several characters |
| 20:08.01 | Imperios | The divine characters for example are all very well connected |
| 20:12.11 | Imperios | Arc Warden bound the Radiant and the Dire, creating a harmonious world |
| 20:12.17 | Imperios | Then Elder Titan dun fucked up and broke it |
| 20:12.53 | Imperios | This caused the four slightly less powerful deities to break free, also conflicting, which were once all comrades of Arc Warden |
| 20:13.00 | Imperios | Enigma, Io, CK, and KotL |
| 20:13.32 | Imperios | There are like groups of 3 or 4 characters who are closely connected |
| 20:13.34 | Technobliterator | The lore is not that deep, I don't think |
| 20:15.39 | OluapPlayer | Technobliterator: http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Second_Borealis_Galactic_War/Part_2#To_Find_the_King |

| 20:54.06 | Wormy_ | http://i.imgur.com/8BtskVR.jpg |
| 20:54.18 | Hachiman | I wonder if Swinehound would be a 'cannibal with morals', so to speak; he's a butcher and a torturer, sure, but I wonder if there'd be people he would refuse to eat if given the chance |
| 20:54.25 | Hachiman | Like, children and whatnot |
| 20:54.53 | Hachiman | Then again, he's supposed to be a demented, insane werebeast so |
| 20:55.21 | Hachiman | And pigs and boars aren't particularly fussy about where the meat they do happen to eat comes from |
| 20:55.39 | Wormy_ | http://i.imgur.com/zZCEoeZ.jpg |
| 20:56.21 | OluapPlayer | If he's a werebeast he'd lose control over his actions every full moon so he'd eat babies wanting or not |
| 20:57.08 | Hachiman | True |
| 20:57.43 | Wormy_ | DrodoEmpire: http://imgur.com/gallery/Ylf2bfR |
| 20:59.53 | DrodoEmpire | olol |
| 21:02.03 | Xho | People getting all analytical about how wheat in Roman times was taller than a man |
| 21:02.18 | Treebeard | Hachiman: "...feasting upon the corpses of his enemies under the belief that consuming their flesh grants him their strength" - Perhaps he avoids eating children etc because he's focused on seeking out the strong. He might not consider 'easy prey' to be rewarding. |
| 21:02.32 | Hachiman | That's fair |
| 21:02.57 | Hachiman | Children are small, weak, and generally don't provide for a very filling meal |
| 21:02.58 | Xho | Néva - mah niggah |
| 21:03.54 | Hachiman | Then again, it also says that that's also just an excuse he says to make others think his obsession with cannibalism is deeper than it actually is |
| 21:04.12 | DrodoEmpire | Xho: I recall Lindybeige did a video on that very wheat-scene, and found that the only things that were accurate were... the arms. And the head. |
| 21:04.25 | DrodoEmpire | Because, you know, Romans were at least -humans-. They got that right |
| 21:04.30 | Xho | yay |
| 21:04.40 | Hachiman | He just really fucking loves eating people, but all the same, children aren't very filling |
| 21:05.27 | Treebeard | Hunting adults might be more thrilling for him |
| 21:05.36 | Hachiman | Yeah |
| 21:05.54 | OluapPlayer | how bout a scene where a much larger predator fucks him up hur |
| 21:06.24 | OluapPlayer | fuk ur piglet-doggo |
| 21:06.26 | Hachiman | Why yes |
| 21:06.35 | Xho | Would've suggested Nanuk the Bear but |
| 21:06.38 | Xho | Nanuk is dead |
| 21:06.45 | Hachiman | He's also on the opposite of the world hur |
| 21:06.57 | Xho | Nanuk - does not stop neva even dead neva yep |
| 21:07.11 | Hachiman | Fucking ghost bear |
| 21:07.41 | Xho | Ghost!Nanuk Gon' Give it to Ya |
| 21:08.06 | DrodoEmpire | I mean, he -could- just be an irredeemably-evil character and eat children as well <.< |
| 21:08.10 | Xho | On the topic of therianthropy I had an idea that one of the ancient Orichalcum Elf Imperators was a werelion |
| 21:08.11 | DrodoEmpire | Whoever we're talking about |
| 21:08.17 | Xho | Swinehound |
| 21:08.18 | Imperios | Neva gonna give you up |
| 21:08.22 | DrodoEmpire | Rite, saw that |
| 21:08.37 | Hachiman | I mean, eating people in general makes you fairly irredeemable |
| 21:08.43 | Hachiman | Especially when you do it out of choice |
| 21:10.03 | Hachiman | I also had a thought about a possible Sun magic user, albeit of a different sort to the likes of Longinus and Norrigan and whatnot |
| 21:10.24 | DrodoEmpire | True, cannibalism itself is evil |
| 21:10.27 | Xho | Longinus/Norrigan - deus does not vult |
| 21:11.03 | DrodoEmpire | But making children the victim of any crime seems to make it 10 times worse and inexcusable <.< |
| 21:11.10 | Xho | DrodoEmpire: Don't tell the Néva that good lord |
| 21:11.17 | DrodoEmpire | hur |
| 21:11.32 | Hachiman | He's basically a young rogue-type human character who has access to various Sun magic powers via descending from ancient human heliomancers in the ancient past; it's not a power he'd be super reliant on in most circumstances, however |
| 21:11.56 | Xho | Question about human heliomancers |
| 21:12.01 | Xho | how would they look |
| 21:12.12 | Hachiman | I imagine like human luxomancers but on steroids |
| 21:12.28 | Xho | Basically Longinus then |
| 21:12.38 | Xho | Planet of the Shinies |
| 21:12.45 | Hachiman | Eyes illuminated with sunlight, golden markings, stuff like that |
| 21:13.21 | Hachiman | His main means of getting around in combat is through trickery and being a fucking dirty cheat |
| 21:13.56 | Xho | Pelagrios - my kind of niggah |
| 21:14.54 | Hachiman | Meanwhile his solar powers would be largely utility I imagine until he gets into a fight with things like, say, vampires and werewolves |
| 21:15.21 | Xho | I could imagine Longinus and Norrigan deeming him unfit to wield heliomancy by that prospect |
| 21:15.24 | Xho | Maybe not Norrigan |
| 21:16.24 | Xho | I wonder how sun magic comes about in the modern age on the account of it being effectively lost |
| 21:16.32 | Hachiman | Probably through bloodlines |
| 21:16.40 | Xho | Good point |
| 21:16.58 | Hachiman | Or through stuff being found in ancient ruins that you happen to survive through |
| 21:17.37 | Xho | >dar-nahalant Longinus - fucking humans getting everywhere |
| 21:18.01 | Hachiman | I imagine that both humans and Khargrim are especially interested in getting their hands on Sun magic |
| 21:18.18 | Hachiman | Sun dwarves sound fucking intense |
| 21:18.18 | OluapPlayer | yet they wont, alas |
| 21:18.20 | Wormy_ | cave diving looks terrifying http://imgur.com/gallery/lk7JM |
| 21:18.41 | Xho | I doubt the divine warriors would let them freely |
| 21:19.05 | Xho | Heliomancy was afaik a closely guarded secret among civilisations even when it was prevalent |
| 21:19.31 | Xho | Sun magic in the wrong hands is bad juju |
| 21:19.35 | Xho | bad juju m8 |
| 21:19.37 | Hachiman | I can imagine |
| 21:19.53 | Hachiman | I wonder what can be done with Sun magic in the wrong hands |
| 21:20.04 | OluapPlayer | The same with any magic in the wrong hands |
| 21:20.26 | Xho | Just on steroids I guess |
| 21:20.39 | Hachiman | wat can u do wrong wiv floramancy tho |
| 21:20.46 | Xho | Extreme Hayfever |
| 21:20.50 | Hachiman | I mean, yes |
| 21:21.04 | OluapPlayer | Carnivorous plants, giant spiked vines, overrun civilized areas with flora |
| 21:21.09 | Xho | Sodomisation with cactus |
| 21:21.09 | Xho | c |
| 21:21.27 | Hachiman | Hm, cactus |
| 21:21.31 | Hachiman | Desert floramancers |
| 21:21.40 | Xho | Cactus Jack |
| 21:21.40 | OluapPlayer | Not a lot to work with |
| 21:22.11 | Hachiman | There are such things as desert plants |
| 21:22.19 | Xho | like a cactus |
| 21:22.26 | OluapPlayer | Compared to a forest or jungle, not a lot to work with |
| 21:22.30 | OluapPlayer | Don't patronize me pls |
| 21:22.38 | Hachiman | ill fukn patronize da shit out of u |
| 21:22.46 | Hachiman | den ill antagonize u |

| 21:23.46 | Wormy_ | off to the glue factory |
| 21:23.47 | OluapPlayer | I don't like horses so that's a yes |
| 21:24.09 | Xho | They're dangerous at both ends and crafty in the middle |
| 21:24.15 | Hachiman | Thanfully we don't have horse beastmen in the Fantasyverse or that'd be awkward |
| 21:24.20 | Xho | Yeah I'm not a big fan of horses either |
| 21:24.23 | Xho | We do actually |
| 21:24.28 | Wormy_ | I've been chased by a horse twice and almost mowed down by one. |
| 21:24.35 | Hachiman | Oh |
| 21:24.38 | Hachiman | We do? |
| 21:24.42 | Xho | We do actually have Fantasy Mahanayans somewhere mentioned but only a mention |
| 21:24.50 | Hachiman | Oh |
| 21:24.51 | Xho | They're shamanistic nomads |
| 21:24.58 | Hachiman | You brought giant horse cock into the Fantasyverse |
| 21:24.59 | OluapPlayer | Mahanayans aren't actually horse-like though, we just make fun of their mouth part |
| 21:25.01 | Hachiman | hope ur proud |
| 21:25.14 | Xho | yes |
| 21:25.20 | Xho | fucking meat cactus |
| 21:25.36 | Hachiman | Oh God |
| 21:25.44 | Xho | Hey you brought it up, I just embellished it |
| 21:25.47 | OluapPlayer | that's just a hedgehog |
| 21:26.09 | Xho | it's hip to fuck sanic |
| 21:26.40 | OluapPlayer | I was actually watching Discovery Channel this morning and the show was about 10 internet videos explained by scientists |
| 21:27.03 | OluapPlayer | One of them had this half-naked australian git wearing nothing but boxing gloves jumping on top of a cactus |
| 21:27.09 | Wormy_ | Think I've seen an episode of that series |
| 21:27.12 | Hachiman | What the fuck |
| 21:27.22 | Wormy_ | Yes he was a nob |
| 21:27.26 | Xho | Like you do |
| 21:27.47 | OluapPlayer | He wanted to "fight" the cactus but all he got was about 5 galaxies worth of pain |
| 21:27.58 | Wormy_ | That's a case where science and common sense agree. |
| 21:27.58 | OluapPlayer | STRAYA CUNT |
| 21:28.11 | Hachiman | Needs a half-naked Australian chick wearing nothing but boxing gloves jumping on top of a meat cactus |
| 21:28.23 | OluapPlayer | Wormy_: The science here was mostly an explanation on what cactus spikes actually are |
| 21:28.34 | OluapPlayer | The idiot jumping into the cactus was just an idiot |
| 21:28.36 | Xho | Well |
| 21:29.24 | OluapPlayer | Cactus spikes are their equivalent of leaves, they evolved that way to lose less water over time |
| 21:29.26 | Hachiman | >tfw you're a human armed with boxing gloves and you lose to a stationary plant that can't do fucking anything |
| 21:29.36 | Wormy_ | <PROTECTED> |
| 21:29.51 | Xho | Hachiman: [YOU DIED] |
| 21:30.09 | OluapPlayer | don't think I'd watch that show again though, it can get ridiculously gross |
| 21:30.27 | OluapPlayer | One of the videos had a girl who had a massive fly larva growing ON HER HEAD |
| 21:30.36 | Xho | nah |
| 21:30.37 | Xho | nah m8 |
| 21:30.40 | Xho | done here |

| 21:31.19 | Wormy_ | putt it out and eat it for revenge and to gain back what's lost |
| 21:31.20 | Hachiman | I get reminded of a story I heard that there was a woman who walked into a chip shop and whoever was telling the story looked down to see a bunch of maggots or larvae infesting her foot |
| 21:31.29 | OluapPlayer | Number 1 was pretty cool though, it was this monk guy who managed to throw a nail hard enough through a piece of glass to make it pass right through it |
| 21:31.55 | Hachiman | Did the glass smash? |
| 21:32.06 | OluapPlayer | It didn't, the nail just left a tiny hole |
| 21:32.16 | Hachiman | That's pretty awesome |
| 21:32.25 | OluapPlayer | Because glass isn't a normal solid object |
| 21:32.31 | drom | Xho: What if Vranntan may become the sporewiki version of the Krogans |
| 21:32.40 | Wormy_ | The Shaolin can do impressive things |
| 21:32.47 | Xho | No point because that's more or less the Murgur |
| 21:33.07 | DrodoEmpire | http://i.imgur.com/nuKnuNr.gif alien vs predator has really gone downhill |
| 21:33.15 | drom | E.g. someone invents a plague that targets Vranntans, and renders them sterile for life |
| 21:33.37 | Hachiman | Shaolin remind me that we need more monk-type characters in the Fantasyverse |
| 21:33.46 | Hachiman | I think the only one we have is... Eirik, I think? |
| 21:33.52 | Xho | Pretty much |
| 21:34.03 | OluapPlayer | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphous_solid this is why the glass didn't shatter |
| 21:34.04 | Hachiman | Imperios: Alhassan monks when |
| 21:34.06 | OluapPlayer | Glass is that |
| 21:34.28 | Xho | Longinus is the closest thing to a monk that survives in Orichalcum Elf lore but he's more of a spear-crazy templar |
| 21:34.41 | Hachiman | Then it's not really a monk then hur |
| 21:34.44 | Xho | aye |
| 21:34.48 | Xho | wait what no fuk u |
| 21:35.30 | Xho | https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16641094_1355261874537309_456710052119423036_n.jpg?oh=ddad265cb90fe60ec86b669b9ae876b4&oe=58FECEB2 |
| 21:35.31 | OluapPlayer | One of the videos was a guy feeding a crocodile up close with a piece of meat |
| 21:35.36 | Hachiman | >not using Sun magic in tandem with ki powers to beat the shit out of your enemies with your bare fists |
| 21:35.44 | OluapPlayer | He gets his leg stuck on the mud for a bit but the croc makes no effort to attack him |
| 21:36.04 | Imperios | Hachiman: Oh yes I should make Alhassan monks |
| 21:36.05 | Hachiman | Think I've seen that vid around |
| 21:36.15 | OluapPlayer | Because he was a familiar figure to the croc, and because being fed a piece of meat is much less energy-costly than attacking a living man |
| 21:36.15 | Imperios | i mentioned an Alhassan monastic order somewhere |
| 21:36.35 | Imperios | An evil Xashanic one but still |
| 21:36.43 | Hachiman | Evil monks |
| 21:36.46 | Hachiman | That sounds awesome |
| 21:36.50 | OluapPlayer | edit klaxxa and manorians pls |
| 21:37.05 | Hachiman | >Eirik vs. leader of the Xashanic monks |
| 21:37.23 | Hachiman | Probably be unfair actually given I intend to keep Eirik's level of power ambiguous |
| 21:37.43 | Hachiman | He's also a pacifist who hates hurting people so |
| 21:38.03 | OluapPlayer | Unless they're Lympharians evidently |
| 21:38.10 | Xho | one man army mode on |
| 21:38.27 | Hachiman | Lympharians are soulless aliens not tied to Isiris and they cannot be reasoned with |
| 21:38.39 | OluapPlayer | Praenuntius - we can we simply don't want to |
| 21:38.50 | Hachiman | Eirik - ur a fukn cunt sorry |
| 21:39.16 | OluapPlayer | And they're not soulless, they're powered by the souls of their victims |
| 21:39.39 | Xho | I keep having to remind myself they're Koldenweltian void golems |
| 21:39.50 | Xho | And not Kruos |
| 21:40.07 | OluapPlayer | They're essentially demons anyway |
| 21:40.28 | OluapPlayer | The crystal they're made from is mined from Crystallis |
| 21:40.49 | Hachiman | You get my point anyway; there's nothing which stops Eirik from being justified in beating the shit out of them hur |
| 21:41.08 | OluapPlayer | More like him getting his shit beaten by Praenuntius m8 |
| 21:41.26 | Hachiman | dunt provoke me pls |
| 21:41.40 | OluapPlayer | talk shit get hit |
| 21:41.45 | Xho | >tfw eirik is actually aetheromancer |
| 21:41.57 | Hachiman | I should probably make it clearer that Eirik also holds back because he thinks there's a chance he's gonna hurt the people around him |
| 21:42.35 | Hachiman | Not in a "going into a mindless rage" kind of way, but in more of a "the immediate vicinity is possibly gonna get fucked" kind of way |
| 21:42.41 | OluapPlayer | Hald-Sleac - see how well that ended i died poor |
| 21:43.37 | Hachiman | And Eirik learning aetheromancy would be awesome, although I can confirm he is but an electromancer hur |
| 21:43.51 | Xho | He'd need an aetheromancy teacher as well |
| 21:43.57 | Hachiman | Aye |
| 21:44.02 | Xho | There's only really two |
| 21:44.12 | OluapPlayer | Smeever - hello yes i can teach whatevermancy |
| 21:44.26 | Xho | >tfw smeever is caligaduro avatar |
| 21:44.28 | Hachiman | Sun / Aether smeevers |
| 21:44.58 | Xho | Smeever soup tastes a bit more electric than usual |
| 21:45.00 | OluapPlayer | Smeever - wanted to turn off the light but i am the light |
| 21:45.30 | Xho | As for aetheromancy teachers, there's only Dragon-Elf and Nalashtannylor |
| 21:45.50 | Xho | Neither are particularly easy to come into contact with and less so to agree teaching aetheromancy |
| 21:47.17 | Hachiman | Makes me wonder how people actually view Eirik, both in- and out of universe |
| 21:47.27 | Xho | Hm |
| 21:47.47 | Xho | None of my characters were particularly acquainted with him apart from Spear Man |
| 21:47.53 | OluapPlayer | I like Eirik, as do all my characters who don't want him dead |
| 21:48.03 | Xho | And yes I like Eirik as well |
| 21:48.11 | Xho | A bit of a break from the gung-ho heroes we all have |
| 21:48.26 | OluapPlayer | Well, Earath and Norrigan like Eirik. Clotho has no strong feelings for most of the Dar-Nahalant group |
| 21:48.38 | Xho | Septimus - your eyes say different hon |
| 21:48.39 | OluapPlayer | And I forget Lyra exists half of the time including now |
| 21:49.09 | Hachiman | Clotho has proper friends now so she probably forgets about most of the Dar-Nahalant group anyway I imagine |
| 21:49.15 | Xho | Longinus sort of sees a younger self in Eirik I guess |
| 21:49.40 | Hachiman | Longinus - ah yes I see my younger self in you my younger self was a fucking idiot I hated him |
| 21:49.41 | *** join/#sporewiki ImpyDroid (~anders@host-7-159-66-217.spbmts.ru) |
| 21:49.45 | OluapPlayer | Clotho didn't enjoy being part of the group |
| 21:49.52 | OluapPlayer | Earath and Norrigan are more open to it |
| 21:50.11 | Xho | The Dar-Nahalant group is massively dysfunctional |
| 21:50.52 | Xho | The only things stopping them from caving in was 1) apocalypse 2) a Sand Drake eating them |
| 21:50.58 | Xho | figuratively |
| 21:51.07 | OluapPlayer | The Sea Witch has her own special kind of way of liking people which includes calling them stupid all the time |
| 21:51.20 | Hachiman | I think it's kind of amusing that how time goes on, members of the Dar-Nahalant group get involved in adventures of less and less grand proportions |
| 21:51.41 | Xho | Riad - bruh |
| 21:51.56 | OluapPlayer | Xacutus - u wish |
| 21:52.03 | Hachiman | Hathgar - fug |
| 21:52.24 | Xho | galaric hatgar X---DDDD |
| 21:52.34 | Xho | galarig even |
| 21:52.44 | Hachiman | dorf benis :DDDDDD |
| 21:52.51 | Xho | fug |
| 21:53.18 | Xho | It doesn't really get much worse than the Void |
| 21:53.18 | Hachiman | inb4 Spurdo is an accurate representation of Hachi most of the time |
| 21:53.28 | Xho | Unless you happen to stumble across the Moon King |
| 21:53.37 | OluapPlayer | Hachi - benis Sea Witch - yours will fall off if you don't shut the fuck up |
| 21:53.58 | drom | "males lack these [female organs] and their sexual role is to impergenate their female partners" |
| 21:54.01 | Xho | >girlfriend is possessed by simulacrum fug |
| 21:54.06 | drom | I guess I am playing a dangerous game |
| 21:54.14 | Hachiman | Hachi just sits in his room all day making Spurdo jokes out loud to himself while everybody else goes mad |
| 21:54.32 | Xho | Hachi is the true Simulacrum of Nightmares |
| 21:54.34 | OluapPlayer | More like they beat him into submission until he cries |
| 21:54.38 | OluapPlayer | look at the people he lives with |
| 21:54.41 | Hachiman | That too |
| 21:55.04 | Hachiman | Also, that foreshadowing at the end of Doctrina, I forgot to comment on it |
| 21:55.15 | Hachiman | About Heilen mentioning Eostraeya to Clotho |
| 21:55.31 | OluapPlayer | I wanted to write stories with Vargash and then with Xacutus but since Hachi is gonna become inactive I might have to do them the descriptive way instead |
| 21:55.44 | Hachiman | non we can still work on them |
| 21:55.48 | Hachiman | It'll just take time |
| 21:55.58 | Xho | This is what you get when you don't invite me in on things |
| 21:56.11 | Hachiman | hao dat make sense |
| 21:56.20 | Xho | Not sure |
| 21:56.33 | OluapPlayer | It's not particularly foreshadowing to anything |
| 21:56.38 | OluapPlayer | It was just a suggestion |
| 21:56.55 | Hachiman | I'd like to do a fic involving Eostraeya as a bit of a focus at some point |
| 21:57.08 | Xho | #smokeweedeveryday |
| 21:57.15 | OluapPlayer | Hathgar's Wonderful Gardening Day |
| 21:57.15 | Xho | >tfw no real focus |
| 21:57.46 | Xho | Thinking about it I have no real characters to spare anyway |
| 21:57.57 | Xho | Riad, that's about it |
| 21:58.06 | Xho | Maybe Pelagrios |
| 21:58.15 | Hachiman | Make new ones then tho |
| 21:58.25 | Xho | I have Ciqala who was that Taeleni Elf |
| 21:58.52 | Hachiman | Ah yes |
| 21:59.55 | Xho | The only other one is Annamasakkan but as if he gives a fuck about saving the world |
| 22:00.11 | Xho | Or a particular geographic region |
| 22:00.22 | Xho | Or anything really the guy is a bit of a dick |
| 22:00.41 | Hachiman | dats why character development is a thing tho |
| 22:00.45 | Xho | There's also Vultusk and Kaaxhesh |
| 22:01.07 | Xho | Although very difficult to wind into a story |
| 22:01.11 | Hachiman | >Vultusk, a mass of dead bodies, meets Swinehound |
| 22:01.16 | Xho | Vultusk - marry us |
| 22:01.42 | Xho | I was thinking about Vultusk earlier and how he might have ties to Id |
| 22:02.12 | Hachiman | That'd be curious |
| 22:02.12 | *** join/#sporewiki ImpyDroid2 (~anders@91.108.28.82) |
| 22:02.30 | Xho | The guy is an insane mass of corpses so Id association would make sense (?) |
| 22:02.33 | Hachiman | I mean, he covers the physically mutated part |
| 22:02.58 | Hachiman | Not sure if he's insane in the Id kind of way, which basically turns you more and more aggressive and animalistic |
| 22:03.48 | Xho | Well |
| 22:04.00 | Xho | He is the Black Sun's high priest of violence |
| 22:04.16 | Hachiman | True |
| 22:04.17 | Xho | His city is used as a death sentence |
| 22:04.58 | Xho | There was once a story I had about Vultusk turning himself into some kind of flesh god by animating and possessing a frankstein's monsteresque dragon |
| 22:05.11 | Xho | And they had to stop him of course |
| 22:05.37 | Hachiman | Hathgar - fukn stop dat creepy shit |
| 22:05.51 | Xho | Vutlusk - which one of us are you tellin exactly |
| 22:06.05 | Xho | Kaaxhesh on the other hand, well |
| 22:06.26 | Xho | Kaaxhesh is random |
| 22:07.11 | Xho | I think I based him off Necrid |
| 22:07.20 | Hachiman | Necrid's pretty cool |
| 22:08.08 | Xho | One thing I want to see more of though is the Outworld |
| 22:08.19 | Xho | still reminds me of mortal kombat but still |
| 22:09.02 | OluapPlayer | That'd imply Imp editing the fantasyverse |
| 22:09.09 | Xho | do it nao |
| 22:11.05 | ImpyDroid2 | Grrmrnev |
| 22:11.18 | ImpyDroid2 | I could finish the story about how the Endless Host was formed |
| 22:11.51 | OluapPlayer | Kimorgos - i tripped and my awesomeness exploded reducing everyone to bones |
| 22:12.26 | Hachiman | inb4 Kimorgos is just an evil Papyrus |
| 22:12.30 | Xho | I should really remake Pyyls'as again |
| 22:12.39 | OluapPlayer | Well no, Kimorgos is an animated suit of armor |
| 22:12.47 | OluapPlayer | He's the Smelter Demon but without the hole face |
| 22:13.21 | Xho | Angry looking bastard |
| 22:13.59 | OluapPlayer | Smelter Demon? He's probably the hardest boss of Dark Souls 2 who's not from a DLC |
| 22:14.32 | Xho | Well you were right about the hole in the face |
| 22:14.33 | Xho | ew |
| 22:15.09 | ImpyDroid2 | Hachiman: Koldenwelt is going to have a bad time |
| 22:15.29 | OluapPlayer | He's technically optional |
| 22:15.31 | Hachiman | hur |
| 22:15.34 | OluapPlayer | But killing him gives you a pretty good shortcut |
| 22:15.57 | OluapPlayer | So you either kill him and get a shortcut or keep to the long path which has about 10 million katana knights in it |
| 22:17.25 | Xho | So what exactly is the blue about |
| 22:17.54 | Hachiman | Fire becomes blue when it gets hot enough |
| 22:17.58 | Xho | doi |
| 22:18.03 | Xho | I mean the Blue Smelter Demon |
| 22:18.26 | Hachiman | An example of DkSII's not very good filler bosses |
| 22:18.49 | OluapPlayer | Yes |
| 22:19.02 | OluapPlayer | Blue Smelter is a harder Smelter who's a bonus boss of the DLC |
| 22:19.51 | OluapPlayer | The difference is his attacks have different timings which fucks with your dodges, and he deals magic damage instead of fire damage |
| 22:20.01 | OluapPlayer | Also his massive dildo sword is about twice longer with twice the hotbox |
| 22:20.04 | OluapPlayer | hitbox even |
| 22:20.29 | Xho | hotbox |
| 22:20.30 | Xho | ayy |
| 22:20.58 | OluapPlayer | A surprise really since that DLC also has the two best bosses in the game in it |
| 22:21.54 | OluapPlayer | https://youtu.be/FKkVtArZipM?t=22s Cairaoven was inspired by this fellow |
| 22:23.32 | Xho | oh okay big ass sword |
| 22:26.28 | Xho | You need a boss like High Lord Wolnir |
| 22:26.40 | Xho | Who I find really creepy for some reason |
| 22:26.55 | Xho | Probably because of the way you just walk into him and he's right FUCKING THERE |
| 22:28.06 | Xho | Music's pretty good as well |
| 22:28.10 | OluapPlayer | Eh, Wolnir stops being scary when you realize you just need to attack his shiny glaring weakspots to kill him |
| 22:28.33 | OluapPlayer | brb |
| 22:29.13 | OluapPlayer | Nevermind back already |
| 22:29.39 | OluapPlayer | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w2OlY5W7IU here's the other good one |
| 22:30.38 | Xho | One thing I never figured out is why they're larger than your character |
| 22:31.23 | OluapPlayer | To make them more easy to target and hit |
| 22:31.35 | Xho | Oh I thought there was a lore reason |
| 22:31.53 | OluapPlayer | There may be one but it's mostly a gameplay decision |
| 22:32.41 | OluapPlayer | still |
| 22:32.45 | OluapPlayer | GRORIOUS NIPPON STEEL |
| 22:32.54 | Xho | ohboy |
| 22:33.08 | Xho | I'd say my favourite bosses from Dark Souls from watching are Ornstein and Smough |
| 22:33.27 | Hachiman | I thought the reason they were so large was to do with how souls work |
| 22:33.41 | Hachiman | And that the more powerful they are or the more you have, the bigger and stronger you become |
| 22:34.01 | OluapPlayer | Not really, there's no source to that information |
| 22:34.23 | OluapPlayer | You collect a gorillion souls durng your journey, including some gods', but you're still a manlet compared to the bosses |
| 22:35.24 | Xho | Artorias is pretty cool as well |
| 22:35.31 | OluapPlayer | He is |
| 22:35.52 | OluapPlayer | Fume Knight is Dark Souls 2's Artorias, both boss-wise and thematically |
| 22:35.57 | Xho | afaik he was the hardest boss in the game |
| 22:36.33 | Hachiman | Either Ornstein and Smough or Artorias are the hardest bosses in DS1 I believe |
| 22:36.53 | Hachiman | That or Manis |
| 22:36.54 | OluapPlayer | Nah |
| 22:36.55 | OluapPlayer | Four Kings are harder |
| 22:36.56 | Hachiman | Manus* |
| 22:37.10 | Hachiman | I didn't have difficulty with the Four Kings to be honest |
| 22:37.14 | OluapPlayer | Just remembering the Four Kings put me off of replaying Dark Souls 1 |
| 22:37.30 | Hachiman | They're big targets and I managed to kill them quick before more could come |
| 22:37.34 | Xho | And of course Nito |
| 22:37.44 | drom | That is Nito |
| 22:37.51 | OluapPlayer | Nito is a cool character but he's a very mediocre boss |
| 22:37.53 | Xho | Although I remember him being quite easy |
| 22:37.54 | Xho | c |
| 22:38.10 | Hachiman | Nito doesn't wanna fight you, he just wants to nap |
| 22:38.17 | Xho | Manus is quite cool as well |
| 22:39.06 | OluapPlayer | Manus and Artorias are about the same in difficulty, at least to me |
| 22:39.14 | OluapPlayer | as in they're both fucking hard |

| 23:45.37 | DrodoEmpire | That's like some judo shit right there |
| 23:47.10 | Hachiman | This reminds me |
| 23:47.23 | Hachiman | Ancient Vikings were said to be very fucking good wrestlers and grapplers |
| 23:48.20 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 23:49.42 | Hachiman | It's kinda weird to think about old European nations and tribes and whatnot having their own martial arts when you usually associate such with the East |
| 23:50.17 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah... |
| 23:50.29 | Hachiman | Makes me wonder why so many martial arts actually came out of the East actually when compared to the West |
| 23:50.29 | DrodoEmpire | Even though arguably martial arts were even more diverse in Europe, for a time |
| 23:50.36 | Hachiman | They were? |
| 23:50.40 | DrodoEmpire | Holy shit yes |
| 23:51.04 | DrodoEmpire | The number of fencing manuals, for everything from swords to halberds to full-sized pikes are staggering |
| 23:51.17 | DrodoEmpire | And there was definitely unarmed combat training too |
| 23:51.22 | Hachiman | Oh right, sword martial arts |
| 23:51.38 | Monet | I think that's part of the issue |
| 23:51.42 | DrodoEmpire | I believe the Greeks or Macedonians had their own form of wrestling |
| 23:51.42 | Hachiman | Yeah I was more referring to unarmed but you have made a poit |
| 23:51.43 | Hachiman | point* |
| 23:52.00 | Hachiman | I cannot imagine how many fucking sword martial arts there are from throughout Europe honestly |
| 23:52.07 | Monet | When people say "martial arts" the usual image is unarmed combat |
| 23:52.22 | DrodoEmpire | It might be that eastern martial arts are both a relatively-recent import and concern themselves a lot with unarmed combat, which is very practical knowledge today |
| 23:52.40 | Monet | They're also an entire genre of film. |
| 23:52.40 | DrodoEmpire | Just as knowing one's way around a rapier or dagger used to be practical knowledge in 1600s Europe |
| 23:52.44 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
| 23:52.56 | Monet | Can't *quite* say the same about Western martial arts, even the unarmed ones. |
| 23:53.18 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah, most movies about western martial arts are movies on, say, the Three Musketeers, who use swords |
| 23:53.43 | DrodoEmpire | That's cool, but its not a hobby or a thing that's terribly practical today or an investment people will want to make |
| 23:53.53 | Hachiman | Boxing as a formal martial art is also an Egyptian thing iirc |
| 23:53.58 | DrodoEmpire | Ahh |
| 23:54.33 | Hachiman | Funny, I'd not think of the Egyptians as being innovators of punching things |
| 23:54.38 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 23:55.27 | Monet | You had wrestling in Macedonia. |
| 23:55.49 | DrodoEmpire | Well, I guess you'd need to learn how to beat the shit out of people so they'll stop laughing at you for making your Pharaoh jerk off into the Nile every year |
| 23:55.54 | DrodoEmpire | shrugs |
| 23:56.03 | Hachiman | Wait what |
| 23:56.09 | DrodoEmpire | ...Pretty sure they did that |
| 23:56.25 | DrodoEmpire | Either once a lifetime or yearly, its one of those really fucking weird things xD |
| 23:56.59 | DrodoEmpire | I'm not verifying it though, sooner not have "Egyptian masturbation ritual" in my history |
| 23:57.06 | Hachiman | So the Egyptians had their lords masturbate into their fucking LIVELIHOOD while the Greeks I believe had a lord who thought he could kill Poseidon in a vengeful rage via stabbing the sea |
| 23:57.25 | DrodoEmpire | Oh, that was... Caligula. Roman |
| 23:57.26 | Monet | I think its to do with how the pharaohs were gods o nearth |
| 23:57.35 | DrodoEmpire | And he sent an entire legion to do it |
| 23:57.45 | Monet | Caligula was just bonkers. No symbolism to it. |
| 23:57.53 | Monet | But yeah, he did declare war on Posiedon. |
| 23:57.56 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 23:58.05 | Hachiman | Still, having your king jack it into the water that you drank, cleaned, and bathed with |
| 23:58.23 | DrodoEmpire | Many worse things are in the Nile than a bit of Pharaoh jizz |
| 23:58.34 | Monet | Aye |
| 23:58.35 | Hachiman | Oh, you mean how they used to make soap? |
| 23:58.56 | DrodoEmpire | ...How did they? xD |
| 23:58.58 | Monet | Look at the Ganges today. |
| 23:59.07 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 23:59.08 | Hachiman | Or at least, I thought they did something really fucking gross with animal fat or something to make soap |
| 23:59.13 | DrodoEmpire | Oh, yeah |
| 23:59.15 | DrodoEmpire | Nasty stuff |
| 23:59.45 | Hachiman | I have to wonder how the fuck Nile crocodiles didn't GTFO |
| 23:59.52 | Monet | Plus for a long time, beer was safer to drink than sourced water. |
| 23:59.59 | DrodoEmpire | So tl;dr egyptian kings used to bust a nut in their life-giving river, Caligula tried to kill Poseidon and not only can white people not dance, they can't do martial arts <.< |
