| 00:13.22 | Monet | There was one guy I kept passing who was selling pork buns, who kepts saying stuff like "hey yo, why don't you have a pork bun in yourhand?" |

| 17:11.22 | dino82_ | No idea |
| 17:11.26 | dino82_ | nice updates though! |
| 17:12.39 | Charles_Murray | Imperios : Technobliterator had strong opinions about Sporewiki!French politics last time we spoke |
| 17:12.49 | Imperios | I must have missed that discussion |
| 17:12.51 | Imperios | What happened? |
| 17:13.54 | Charles_Murray | Nah, she just adamantly said she could only ever vote for France's Democratic Union |

| 18:18.22 | Monet | Exactly |
| 18:18.38 | OluapPlayer | So Odin proven correct |
| 18:18.40 | Hachiman | jews still exist so it didnt happen |

| 18:19.16 | OluapPlayer | lern ur myths |

| 18:23.43 | Hachiman | I'm sure you can posthumously elect |
| 18:23.50 | Monet | I'm voting Tyr then |

| 18:24.07 | Hachiman | as long as its not baldur cus hes a fuckin loser |

| 18:24.25 | Imperios | *sacrifices children* |
| 18:24.25 | OluapPlayer | can't complain, will have valkyries later |
| 18:24.32 | DrodoEmpire | Would electing a god be merging church and state? <.< |
| 18:24.39 | Hachiman | Hm |
| 18:24.45 | Imperios | You could say that |
| 18:25.01 | DrodoEmpire | Charles_Murray you should know the answer, you studied that in politics class right |
| 18:25.01 | Hachiman | I mean, it's not like the god himself heads the church |
| 18:25.15 | DrodoEmpire | Oh poo he isn't here >: |
| 18:25.26 | Hachiman | Other politicians have cults dedicated to them and they can still run and whatnot |
| 18:25.27 | Monet | then I vote for Alexander of Macedon. |
| 18:26.04 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 18:26.06 | Monet | He's the son of Zeus, he counts right? |
| 18:26.10 | DrodoEmpire | Timonax - yes :> |

| 19:00.52 | Imperios | The Normans were basically Frenchmen at this point, they spoke French hur |
| 19:01.28 | Monet | And before France they held land in Sicily |
| 19:01.58 | Hachiman | Yeah but William was of direct Viking descent |
| 19:05.07 | Imperios | Still not particularily impressive hur |
| 19:05.34 | Imperios | That, and from what I understand William's conquests ultimately *de*-Scandinavised England, by introducing Western European customs |
| 19:06.19 | Monet | He spoke French and so did his court |
| 19:06.21 | Hachiman | I mean |

| 19:10.24 | Hachiman | I wasn't trying to offend, just thought it was funny |
| 19:10.39 | Monet | it just took 505 casualties to bring him down |

| 19:11.41 | Monet | I thought he was finally caught or something |
| 19:12.28 | Hachiman | Nah, he sustained an injury to his jaw in 1940 after sustaining a direct blow from an explosive bullet to his jaw |
| 19:12.39 | Imperios | Oh yes he had a creepy face hur |
| 19:13.02 | Hachiman | He later woke up on the same day as the Moscow Peace Treaty |
| 19:13.15 | Hachiman | It's very likely that after making a recovery, he'd go back to fighting and sniping |
| 19:16.58 | Monet | I recall a number of Roman emperors weren't Italian |
| 19:17.32 | Imperios | Hachiman: Simo Hayha buried in the lakes under Helsinki, prophesised to reawaken once Finland is threatened once again |
| 19:18.34 | Imperios | under the lakes even |
| 19:18.48 | Hachiman | He actually wakes up every winter after hibernating, he's just so well-camouflaged in the snow no one can see him |
| 19:25.11 | Monet | Hachiman: "buried under a lake"...waaaait |
| 19:25.53 | Monet | didnt we write a character that ended up like this? |
| 19:26.11 | Hachiman | Aye hur |
| 19:28.07 | Monet | Who was also able to take on an army no problem |
| 19:29.41 | Hachiman | Imperios: Do we have any particular examples where any of us wrote a fic with accidental white savior-esque tropes? |
| 19:29.52 | Monet | Granted its a sniper's job to be invisible even after blowing someone's brains out |
| 19:30.26 | Imperios | There was that part of Tantrum Mortimer |
| 19:30.36 | Imperios | Where Fictionverse chars ended up in the Fantasyverse |
| 19:31.29 | Hachiman | I'm honestly hoping that I never accidentally write a story where there's a white savior-esque overtone |
| 19:31.32 | Imperios | Oh and the Pikmins |
| 19:31.41 | Imperios | Well, it's a trope like any other |
| 19:31.46 | OluapPlayer | white savior-esque |
| 19:31.47 | OluapPlayer | explain |
| 19:32.05 | Imperios | "Civilised person meets an uncivilised culture and helps them" |
| 19:32.12 | OluapPlayer | Ah |
| 19:32.20 | OluapPlayer | Distant Planet fits that |
| 19:32.25 | Hachiman | OluapPlayer: White guy (or any general outsider) gets involved with a foreign culture and ends up saving them or fixing their problems for them with his outsider-ness |
| 19:33.11 | Hachiman | Like Avatar with the human MC and the Na'vi, or Dancing with Wolves with the white American MC and the Sioux |
| 19:33.19 | Imperios | Yeah joining the uncivilised culture is important |
| 19:33.35 | Imperios | Bear the white man's burden an all that |
| 19:34.08 | Hachiman | It's a trope I honestly find myself hating because it kind of makes the culture that the outsider is joining look incompetent |
| 19:35.06 | OluapPlayer | When you're leaf men who can barely coordinate without getting eaten by big rotund lizards, I think you're already very incompetent |
| 19:36.32 | Imperios | Yeah I think it makes sense if one does it well |
| 19:36.51 | Monet | It's from a neater time |
| 19:37.45 | Monet | Making the natives look incompetent was part of the point |
| 19:38.22 | Imperios | I suppose to 19th century colonists it made sense |
| 19:38.51 | Imperios | You travel around the world, everyone's primitive, you're starting to feel superior, almost like a messiah |
| 19:39.24 | Hachiman | PAX AMERICANA |
| 19:40.10 | Monet | I have a comparative trope I luke to call A Genius Among Idiots - when someone's intelligence is shown by everyone around them looking like morons |
| 19:40.30 | Imperios | Brits and Soviet Russians were particularily notorious for this |
| 19:41.17 | Hachiman | Monet: The context is different when it's the outsider who has the intelligence |

| 19:47.52 | Imperios | Waaait when |
| 19:48.04 | Monet | An eye for an eye only makes the world blind? |
| 19:48.09 | OluapPlayer | Last week |

| 19:48.48 | Imperios | BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GOD OF DEATH |
| 19:48.55 | Imperios | Now put Mimiron in it |
| 19:49.18 | OluapPlayer | >Yogg-Saron is a giant mouth >Vargash is a giant mouth |
| 19:49.20 | OluapPlayer | c it fits |
| 19:50.22 | OluapPlayer | That was the reason |
| 19:50.23 | Hachiman | THE WEAK MUST FEAR THE STRONG |
| 19:50.32 | OluapPlayer | Now you know you could remove the _ |
| 19:50.55 | Hachiman | Not while original Hachi is still around |
| 19:50.59 | Hachiman | The original had to die |
| 19:51.19 | Imperios | There can be only one |
| 19:51.52 | OluapPlayer | Also jokes on you I might expy Mimiron too |
| 19:52.00 | OluapPlayer | Though he wouldn't be in Vargash's vault |
| 19:52.39 | Imperios | It's not an expy of anything, but for some reason I imagine the PAE's anthem to be Ulduar's theme |
| 19:52.43 | Hachiman | If it means living without being tied to an underscore, then it's not even a choice; I must take the original's place, eliminate the source of it all so I can live without such torment |
| 19:53.02 | OluapPlayer | Ulduar's theme is awesome so I can see why you'd want that |

| 19:59.32 | Imperios | Now that I think about it, most modern raids have not been as majestic-looking as those of WotLK |
| 19:59.59 | dino82_ | true |
| 20:00.02 | dino82_ | the old ones were the best |
| 20:00.02 | Imperios | The Emerald Nightmare is cool but the only truly impressive environment there was Xavius's lair |
| 20:00.09 | dino82_ | like the one again Kael-Thalas |
| 20:00.12 | Imperios | Oh yes |
| 20:00.22 | OluapPlayer | I thought Firelands looked great |
| 20:00.25 | Imperios | The Nighthold was impressive but again, not really majestic |
| 20:00.42 | Imperios | Yeah Firelands were awesome, Throne of Thunder too |
| 20:00.50 | Imperios | And the Mogu'shan Vaults |
| 20:00.52 | OluapPlayer | Yeah Throne of Thunder |
| 20:00.53 | OluapPlayer | Heart of Fear too |
| 20:01.04 | Imperios | But WoD and Legion's raids have been so-so |
| 20:01.16 | Monet | Imperios: quite Draconid in a way |
| 20:01.30 | OluapPlayer | Tomb of Sargeras looks like it'll be really good-looking from the pics posted so far |
| 20:01.43 | OluapPlayer | They went full ham with the elven architecture |
| 20:02.28 | Monet | actually I think I joked with Oluap that Ulduar looked like the Alcanti palace inside |
| 20:02.47 | OluapPlayer | Uriel - dont mind the eldritch abomination, we keep it chained |
| 20:03.20 | Imperios | I really want them not to fuck up Argus |
| 20:03.29 | Imperios | I bet they will just make it all green and ew |
| 20:03.41 | Imperios | Legion demon aesthetics are so ugly colour-wise |
| 20:03.44 | OluapPlayer | DID SOMEONE SAY FEL MAGIC [GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN] |
| 20:04.11 | OluapPlayer | In the Nighthold though |
| 20:04.21 | OluapPlayer | That Star Magus guy's boss chamber |
| 20:04.27 | OluapPlayer | With the planets in the background |
| 20:04.33 | OluapPlayer | That looked awesome |
| 20:06.03 | Monet | It's on my bucket list to try and build the Alcanti palace digitally |
| 20:06.26 | OluapPlayer | >Old God-dominated worlds >tentacles so large they can be seen from space |
| 20:06.40 | Imperios | Actually Japan |
| 20:06.45 | OluapPlayer | hur |
| 20:10.50 | OluapPlayer | But I don't imagine they'll fuck up Argus. So far Legion has been pretty good |
| 20:11.04 | OluapPlayer | My only complaint is how certain characters are absent when they really shouldn't |
| 20:12.08 | Imperios | What I want is for Argus to have a distinct aesthetic |
| 20:12.40 | OluapPlayer | I expect warped Draenei asthetics |
| 20:13.22 | OluapPlayer | Stuff akin to the Black Temple maybe |
| 20:14.41 | Monet | Standard legion designs wouldn't fit. Argus is a bastion not a forward citadel |
| 20:15.53 | Imperios | Thing is with Legion I think their aesthetic is simply unappealing, which is why they have been mixing it |
| 20:16.11 | Imperios | That I think is a big failure |

| 22:58.35 | DrodoEmpire | ^ finally got around to writing up the Drodo Empire's new monarchy syste, |
| 22:58.37 | DrodoEmpire | *system |
| 23:00.26 | DrodoEmpire | Essentially, its a constitutional monarchy where the Emperor, in the Drodo tradition, has far-reaching federal power that is restricted by Parliament (who have to grant their consent before the Emperor's decrees become law, but cannot make laws themselves), the Courts (whose justices are appointed by Parliament), and the constitution itself which bans the emperor from doing things Parliament and the Courts do and from violatin |
| 23:01.00 | DrodoEmpire | I figure I might add somewhere that the emperor may bypass Parliament under some circumstances |
| 23:01.04 | DrodoEmpire | Or maybe even bypass it a lot |
| 23:01.36 | DrodoEmpire | Really I figure a lot of the time Parliament will be a bit of a rubber-stamp, and its the Judiciary that'd usually form any sort of opposition |
