00:23.47CyrannianWormy_fiction: I'm about to put up that story. What do you think of that origin?
00:25.10Wormy_fictionSounds like an interesting backstory
00:25.35Wormy_fictionAnd I don't see any problems there.  There has been years of open opportunity for Steve and this could build up on it

09:00.12Liquid_InkHow would you suppose a Plague Doctor Universe would work?
09:03.49GhelaeI have no idea.
09:04.50GhelaeIt sounds like it would just be a universe in which everybody is a Plague Doctor.
09:06.33Liquid_InkWait a second...
09:06.55Liquid_Inkhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Captain:Xhodocto3546 Remember this silly stuff? We can base it on that, except everybody is a Plague Doctor.
09:07.20Liquid_InkIn a crime fighting team. Fighting the Plague Doctor supervillain you mentioned.
09:15.16Liquid_InkI'm going to read The Tree of Life.
09:52.20Liquid_InkIt's really good.
10:03.42GhelaeThanks. What colour do you think Doctor Plague's outfit should be? I've started work on him in Spore.
10:04.40Liquid_InkBlack, obviously.
10:06.35Liquid_InkI assume you mean the villain one? Well, he'll be the most historically accurate one. In terms of colours anyway.
10:08.11GhelaeYes; he's not going to be completely accurate due to the limitations of the creator.
10:08.21GhelaeCurrently, his plague mask is mechanical.
10:10.46GhelaeAnd convincing robes are always difficult to make.
10:12.40Liquid_InkVery much so.
10:13.35GhelaePure black seems to be impossible to get, since Spore likes giving most of the outfits lighter highlights. Will black with steel trimmings be acceptable for you?
10:13.52Ghelaeto you*
10:14.49GhelaeActually, if anything, it's mostly metal...
10:16.54Liquid_InkYeah.
10:20.01GhelaeI'm going to try covering him with the darkest of Dark Injection parts just to see if I can get a proper black outfit.
10:20.54Liquid_InkOooh, you have Dark Injection?
10:21.17GhelaeYes. It's how I made the mask; there are a few beak-like robot mouths that come with it.
10:21.50Liquid_InkCool
10:33.20GhelaeI've got a black outfit now. It looks quite heavy and the arms and upper body have quite a few spikes, though.
10:35.23Liquid_InkSpikes of villainy!
10:35.49GhelaeNow I just need to give him an appropriate stick.
10:36.11GhelaeFortunately, DI has plenty of them too.
10:36.57Liquid_InkYep

10:46.59Liquid_InkWormy we're making another fiction universe.
10:47.19WormyHoorah
10:47.59WormyBTW, in a fit of nighttime/early morning madness I wrote this http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:The_Legacy/Unseen_Entity#The_unknown.2C_and_the_unknowable
10:48.14WormyIt still needs the middle section to finish
10:48.27Liquid_InkI suggested to Angrybirds that we have Plague Doctors in his Brave New World universe, then Ghelae mentioend that they still need to be made for the Fantasy Universe, and I agreed.
10:49.26Liquid_InkI then said that I wasn't going to stop there. He asked if that meant Plague Doctors in the SciFiverse, to which I confirmed. I then agreed that the Civverse was then in need of Plague Doctors.
10:49.40Liquid_InkThen I announced that we were going to make a Plague Doctor Universe.
10:55.37WormyAmazing

21:08.45dromCyrannian. Maybe it's good time to talk further about the accords
21:09.04CyrannianOf course, what would you like to discuss?
21:09.58dromThe joint-proposal between MCA and NC
21:11.32CyrannianSure, I'm free to discuss that.
21:11.42CyrannianDid you have anything in mind
21:12.57dromI don't know. But I'll probably get more questions when I get the details of the proposal.
21:13.04dromOh. I have got a question.
21:13.21CyrannianGo ahead
21:14.12dromIs it possible to adapt proposal on several items of the proposal. Still the core items still apply to all.
21:15.33CyrannianYes, members can pick and choose different aspects of membership at the leisure of its government.
21:15.40dromI mean, adapted to fit to be accepted by the both parts.
21:17.08CyrannianYes, that's also possible.
21:18.53dromAlright. Let's discuss about the possible proposals for NC. And possible items in terms of adaption and acceptance.
21:19.32CyrannianWould the NC like to participate in joint fleet operations with other members?
21:20.08dromVery likely
21:20.58dromMaybe it's not so much about it. But NC is in majority populated by a para-military society. So military-trained law force.
21:21.40CyrannianAnd would they like to participate in joint-infrastructure projects such as exploration of unknown space and the maintenance and growth of the Gigaquadrantic wormhole system?
21:21.58drom50:50 likely
21:22.19*** part/#cyrannus Ghelaway (6d91a55c@gateway/web/freenode/ip.109.145.165.92)
21:25.15dromOne thing is very likely. They don't want to be affected by politic influence from other empires and parties. In trade-off of them minding their own political business when it doesn't come to non-domestic troubles and other armed conflicts affecting them.
21:41.19Cyranniansozzles
21:41.57CyrannianYes, that can be arranged. They can choose to avoid outside political influence while simultaneously benefiting from joint military maneuvers
21:43.03dromGot some more suggestions?
21:45.29CyrannianHmmm
21:45.55CyrannianWould they agree to defend other members should they come under attack?
21:46.47drommuch likely
21:48.40dromThey are not much interested in terms of trading.
21:49.35CyrannianAh that's alright, it isn't really a trade organisation.
21:51.47dromShared intelligence
21:52.11dromAs in info about affairs and areas
21:53.41CyrannianYes, if they wish they can share information and intelligence in return for receiving it from other members
21:54.47dromI see. How about agencies and special opearion groups?
21:55.25CyrannianI haven't really thought about that, but if you're interested, the NC can be at the forefront of that
21:57.55WormyRight Cyrannian, me and AB have come up with ideas about a proxy war early in GC
21:59.11WormyIt will only involve the ATR if you want
21:59.24WormyOtherwise, it will just involve my Kindred Coalition
22:00.15CyrannianSince the ATR is shared with you, it's not my place to refuse their involvement. What did you have in mind?
22:00.50Wormy<PROTECTED>
22:01.45WormyHowever, earlier in the war, the DCP and DI play tin soldiers with humanity.  The DCP influences the Kindred Coalition, DI influences the OL
22:02.57Wormy<PROTECTED>
22:03.46WormyKindred Coalition elects a highly militant government supported by the DCP -> this leaks out to the OL, the OL demand that the government step down -> Kindred Coalition government orders the Corscian Defense Force to leave -> Corsican Defense Force stage a military coup (whether it fails or not is up to you) -> Kindred Coalition declares war on OL
22:04.17Wormy" (whether it fails or not is up to you)" ignore that, thats not relevant
22:05.22Wormy<PROTECTED>
22:06.07WormyNow the question is, would the ATR take military action to side with the DCP and Kindred?
22:06.29dromCyrannian: They will happily accept the item.
22:06.47dromoffer*
22:07.43WormyThe DCP can also help re-establish the ATR on the Orion Spur, soon after, the DCP ends up backing the ATR/Kindred themselves
22:08.06Wormythough I don't see why the ATR would need expelling myself if the DCP are backing it
22:08.42CyrannianI'm not sure if I want the ATR to be expelled either.
22:10.22WormyI don't think they will be, given the DCP gains victory over the Plazith Rim before moving onto other galaxies
22:10.42WormyAB did propose that before we decided on a DCP victory
22:11.22CyrannianThe thing I want to happen to the ATC during the GC is that they gain more Old Earth nations as either full time or associate members, not lose influence over that area of space.
22:12.09WormyThey could have the Fjord League, and India (which I still need to use)
22:12.22Wormyat least
22:13.31WormyGiven the defeat of the Orion League (at least until the DCP starts falling back), it is possible the ATR gains more influence
22:15.10CyrannianPerhaps the ATR could drop out of the conflict once the DCP is victorious and confident with its influence and new members, it declares neutrality and joins the Accords.
22:15.41dromI hope you don't mind me asking for more ideas in the public channel.
22:15.55CyrannianIs that for the Mou'Cyran Accords?
22:16.26dromYup.
22:17.11Cyrannian<PROTECTED>
22:17.26dromlol
22:18.19CyrannianWormy: By the way, I added the capital of the DCP in Cyrannus to the map, called New Mirenton and I mentioned how it plays host to joint cultural exchanges, like in that story we planned.
22:18.36drom<PROTECTED>
22:19.54CyrannianAnd I also added the capital of the NC in Cyrannus to the map, drom
22:20.02WormyIn stunning synchronicity
22:20.04Wormy[23:14] <Angrybirds> I just had an idea. Maybe the DCP would hand over the occupation of Orion's Spur to the ATR.
22:21.14Wormy[23:17] <Angrybirds> Right. The Old Earth nations wouldn't let it off so easily, though.  There'd be a bunch of governments in exile demanding their countries back. xD   [23:18] <Wormy> Given that, the ATR drops out of the war, it will mean one less ally for the DCP  
22:21.24Wormy[23:19] <Angrybirds> Right. So the ATR is kicked out of Orion's Spur briefly, only to return to forcefully occupy the whole thing, and then either they give back the occupied countries peacefully, or the allies have to fight for them.
22:22.23drom<PROTECTED>
22:22.43Wormy[23:22] <Wormy> I'm not sure of Cyrannian wants them expelled at all, though its possibly they are nearly defeated at first, we'll wait and see what Cyrannian says
22:24.06dromI think it's better to get him to here instead.
22:25.03WormyIt might be fair if ATR loses some territory for a few weeks, since its a big ask for the DCP to occupy the Orion League
22:26.31CyrannianI think I'd prefer for the ATR to fight for the Kindred Coalition when they are threatened and somehow win over support from old Earth nations like India and the Fjord League, which leave the OL and join them peacefully. It wouldn't be in their enlightened nature to invade and occupy old Earth nations if they didn't wish to join. The DCP may be alone in the occupation in that case.
22:29.07Wormy[23:28] <Angrybirds> Tell Cyrannian that the DCP would do all of the invading and hand over the territories to the ATR, all of them having surrendered.
22:30.10WormyIt is true, the DCP invades the the OL, and puts the Kindred Coalition and/or rest of the ATR in charge (though that still is occupation, I guess)
22:31.19WormyIf not, the Kindred Coalition could do the occupying
22:33.01Cyrannian<PROTECTED>
22:34.05WormyHe said he is going to ask them to begin with, and now he is saying "We"
22:35.52Wormy[23:34] <Angrybirds> It doesn't make sense, though. The ATR would basically be unifying humanity. All of the territories would be in political turmoil, paralyzed, fracturing, most of them with no governments and their militaries fled. It would most definitely be in the ATR's character to try to save them from a brutal DCP occupation.
22:36.20Wormy23:35] <Wormy> It could be a humanitarian effort by the ATR, and once the DCP's grip fails, the ATR could immediately return sovereignty to the Orion League
22:37.03Wormyand leave its alliance with the DCP to join the Accords in the hope that they can convince the DCP to stop
22:37.25CyrannianIf these territories ask for Republic protection, they would of course accept. But they would not impose themselves on those who don't ask for help in the first place.
22:39.08Wormy.[23:38] <Wormy> The opportunity of the DCP leaving human occupation to Republic hands would seem like a "breath of fresh air", even if its still occupation.  They might accept,
22:39.27WormyHopefully AB will say yes and we can be done with this
22:40.53CyrannianWell it wouldn't be an occupation if the people of the former countries ask for help from the ATR, which is the only way the Republic will intervene as a humanitarian operation.
22:41.30WormyA|B says "They will most certainly pick the lesser of two evils."
22:43.34CyrannianIt's not like the ATR will be doing anything wrong. They will happily stay out of OL affairs, but if they actually ask the ATR to protect their people, they will certainly oblige until their return.
22:43.53WormyIndeed
22:44.04WormyThe ATR sounds like one of the good guys in this war
22:44.12WormyThe DCP is the mad guy
22:44.47WormyThe Xonexi "revolutionaries" are just as mad for their own imperialism
22:44.57WormyMeanwhile, everyone is under manipulation
22:50.41WormyWhat do we do with ATR space  in the Orion Spur before all this?
22:50.56dromAlright Cyrannian. Think we have set the MCA agreements for NC.
22:51.25WormyThere is a chunk right next yo France, if the ATR is helping the Kindred Coalition, the OL are likely to attack their neighbor
22:52.19CyrannianFrance is likely to attack their neighbour, I doubt the whole of the OL would given that there are many joint members.
22:53.11WormyAs I understand it, you don't want the ATR expelled.  Thats fine, I've offered to have Kindred territory temporally expelled
22:53.17CyrannianThat would likely amount to the OL civil war.
22:53.27Cyranniandrom: I think we have agreed!
22:53.41WormyI want to wrap this up with AB now
22:54.12WormyIf there is no territory loss to the ATR, there will be none
22:54.17dromWait, how about add an agreement that either MCA or NC can call into meeting for changes or additions to the proposal/agreement.
22:54.27dromWhat do you think about that+
22:54.29drom?
22:54.49CyrannianI think that's alright
22:57.02dromAlright. Let's sign it.
23:07.30dromCyrannian: Since you lost the duel, go to and edit the Mou'Cyran paeg. Or...

23:55.06Liquid_InkOh, and Ghelae and I are making a brand new ficiton universe: the Plague Doctor Verse!
23:55.33CyrannianOoh, is that relating to the guy Ghelae uploaded?
23:57.33Liquid_InkYep.
23:58.05Liquid_InkHe's the villain, who will be fought by everybody's own personalised Plague Doctor characters.
23:58.38Liquid_InkOh hey, he made it for the Civverse. THat's cool.
