| 00:44.37 | Wormy_ | Like GXS? |
| 00:45.18 | Wormy_ | If you want my opinion, neither is better imo, its taking me a long time to get used to GXS style |
| 00:47.42 | Liquid_Ink | Yeah, I guess. |
| 00:48.02 | Liquid_Ink | The way wikipedia writes its war articles |
| 00:56.45 | Liquid_Ink | Pictures are going to be an issue though |
| 00:57.03 | Liquid_Ink | Maybe I can bribe Cyrannian to illustrate? |
| 01:00.47 | Wormy_ | Maybe |
| 01:01.12 | Wormy_ | He has great skill at screenshots |
| 01:24.48 | Wormy_ | goodnight |

| 08:04.46 | Liquid_Ink | Hey there |
| 08:05.19 | Ghelae | Hello. |
| 08:05.39 | Ghelae | Did you notice the thread about reviving the Civverse again? |
| 08:05.49 | Liquid_Ink | I notice very little |
| 08:06.11 | Liquid_Ink | And honestly, I want to just make a big motion to finish and redo all of my fiction before I start anything new. |
| 08:07.32 | Ghelae | Fair enough. |
| 08:08.25 | Liquid_Ink | Also, could you clear up an issue with the DCP workforce that Wormy doesn't seem to get? |
| 08:10.28 | Liquid_Ink | At that level of technology, they'd obvious have great deals of their production and distribution handled by automation. So what jobs do the DCP workers do? |
| 08:21.09 | *** join/#cyrannus Imperios (~Imperios@95.140.92.74) |
| 08:26.05 | Liquid_Ink | Ghelae |
| 08:26.23 | Ghelae | I'm not entirely sure myself. |
| 08:26.46 | Ghelae | Perhaps some tasks are deliberately not automated to give workers something to do? |
| 08:28.01 | Liquid_Ink | Perhaps |
| 08:31.24 | Ghelae | With a post-scarcity society, by definition you'd expect there to be no reason for people to work in industry. |
| 08:33.25 | Liquid_Ink | People work for precisely two reasons: to gain a reward, or to avoid punishment. It's pretty obvious which category the DCP falls under, but what exact work they get up to is beyond me |
| 08:34.09 | Liquid_Ink | When I asked Wormy, he linked me to his page which says: " A worker way wake up in a completely different place, and they will be given any relevant work in that area. Thus workers in the DCP must be flexible, although citizens in the DCP can take more specialised roles should they wish to rise the ranks in science, medicine, media, engineering, military and so on outside the colony." |
| 08:36.30 | Ghelae | Most of that sounds like creative work. |
| 08:36.48 | Ghelae | So that kind of thing may not be automated. |
| 08:36.58 | Liquid_Ink | I understand creative work |
| 08:37.31 | Ghelae | Military work is the main exception on that list, which I assume means being a low-ranking soldier than a commander of an army of AI weapons. |
| 08:38.33 | Ghelae | Medicine and engineering, where they will involve creativity, are generally where those areas overlap with science. |
| 08:39.08 | Ghelae | That is, developing new stuff. |
| 09:12.32 | Liquid_Ink | Hey Ghelae I don't suppose you could get rid of the War of the Nine page and have all the sub-pages made into individual pages? |
| 09:13.12 | Ghelae | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:War_of_the_Nine ? |
| 09:14.07 | Ghelae | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:War_of_the_Nine/War_of_the_Blocs is the only subpage I can find on Special:Allpages. |
| 09:15.04 | Liquid_Ink | Could you move it to Fiction:War of the Blocs |
| 09:15.14 | Liquid_Ink | Although I may change that war's name altogether |
| 09:15.34 | Ghelae | You could do it yourself. :P But sure; moved. |
| 09:16.33 | Liquid_Ink | I tried but it wouldn't let me |
| 09:18.18 | Ghelae | Ah. That might have been because of the redirect that already existed. |
| 09:20.41 | Ghelae | A double redirect, leading to the War of the Blocs page. |
| 10:30.43 | Liquid_Ink | Nom nom |
| 10:34.09 | Ghel | Hello again. |
| 10:35.19 | Liquid_Ink | Do you know of any method of training horses to kill meth addicts? |
| 10:37.15 | Ghel | No. Training horses isn't my specialty, sorry. |
| 10:37.57 | Ghel | If there's some easy way to distinguish meth addicts from other people, you could perhaps condition the horses to associate that with a threat which they can fight against. |

| 12:20.05 | Liquid_Ink | Hey Wormy |
| 12:20.14 | Liquid_Ink | I saw you talking about a Civverse |
| 12:20.28 | Liquid_Ink | Your UFO idea, interestingly enough, was present in the original |
| 12:21.53 | Wormy_ | I think I tried to introduce it before. |
| 12:38.31 | Liquid_Ink | All the weird shit in Dark5 should be used as a base |
| 12:44.43 | Wormy_ | yeah |

| 19:13.13 | Cyrannian | Ghel: Wormy_: Free to discuss fiction or will we wait for Random? |
| 19:14.37 | Ghel | I can discuss it now if you want. If we do have anything to tell Random then it will be ready for him when he shows up. |
| 19:15.40 | Wormy_ | I can discuss now, I might be going out later |
| 19:19.23 | Cyrannian | https://titanpad.com/p5zs7zlPbB |
| 19:20.41 | Wormy_ | So, what are we discussing? |
| 19:22.05 | Ghel | We're trying to get an idea of the finale. |
| 19:31.35 | Ghel | If you do have any thoughts on how The Halcyon Scheme should go, add them to the pad. |
| 19:38.03 | Ghel | Cyrannian: Some of the earlier chapters are very short, and so is the most recent one. Should we put what we've written today into the most recent chapter, or do you think we might as well make it a new section? |
| 19:38.29 | Wormy_ | Can someone give me a quick summary so I can catch up? |
| 19:38.42 | Cyrannian | I'll add it to the page as a new section |
| 19:38.51 | Ghel | Of the whole story? |

| 19:58.51 | Ghel | Hmm... I think the introduction of QT makes it sound like he was responsible for the bombing. :P |
| 19:59.29 | Ghel | And I misspelt "malfunction". |
| 19:59.45 | Wormy_ | Right okay, thanks |
| 20:00.06 | Wormy_ | I may have to go soon so I may not have much to contribute tonight |
| 20:00.28 | Cyrannian | Poor QT, who is incidentally my first droid character IIRC |
| 20:06.27 | Cyrannian | I'm fine with continuing tomorrow, I'll try and mull over some new ideas for the finale overnight |
| 20:08.40 | Ghel | All right. I've also just made a couple of minor edits to the section. |
