| 01:40.53 | The_Randomness | ! |
| 01:42.00 | Wormy_ | According to this it will be set in the Prime timeline http://trekmovie.com/2016/04/13/breaking-the-new-star-trek-tv-show-will-be-set-post-undiscovered-country-pre-tng/ |
| 01:42.13 | The_Randomness | Oh, interesting |
| 01:43.55 | Wormy_ | Looks like we might be getting it set at more than one time, maybe |
| 01:44.40 | Wormy_ | If post-Dominion we might see special scenes of the Next Gen crew |
| 01:44.49 | The_Randomness | Interesting |
| 01:44.49 | Wormy_ | Goodnight |

| 10:47.46 | Liquid_Ink | Yo |
| 10:47.56 | Ghelae | Hello. |
| 10:51.09 | Liquid_Ink | Is it plausible to have a pigmentation of blood that sorta overrules the colour from the oxygen binding thing? |
| 10:51.21 | Liquid_Ink | I could have phrased that better? |
| 10:51.49 | Liquid_Ink | *no question mark |
| 10:52.10 | Ghelae | It might be possible, but this is a very vivid red we're talking about overpowering here. |
| 10:52.39 | Liquid_Ink | Actually, I was thinking of making copper-based blood red. |
| 10:53.04 | Ghelae | Right. Same principle, though. One problem is, what purpose would this pigment serve to the creature? |
| 10:53.56 | Liquid_Ink | Yeah, that is something I'd considered |
| 10:54.48 | Ghelae | I remember for my SporeWiki fiction I did mention that species in the Girdo Galaxy have something like a bluish antimicrobial compound, which out-of-universe explains why blood is purplish in the Cell Stage. |
| 10:55.30 | Ghelae | Still a bit of a stretch, though. |
| 10:58.08 | Ghelae | Often in chemistry, colours come from the different oxidation states of transition metals ions. This isn't very useful for you, because then you might as well just put some red ferrous compound in the blood and then it might as well just be heme. |
| 10:58.38 | Ghelae | So you'd presumably want a red-coloured non-metallic organic compound. |
| 10:58.48 | Ghelae | And I can't really help you there. |
| 11:02.52 | Liquid_Ink | Considering this is fantasy I think I could simply not give an explanation |
| 11:05.01 | Ghelae | If you describe that it's copper-based blood, and also say that it's red, then that'll make people think you don't know what you're talking about. |
| 11:05.30 | Liquid_Ink | Yeah |
| 11:05.35 | Ghelae | So you need at least a mention that there's something else that's a very vivid red in there. |
| 11:05.50 | Ghelae | How it's so vivid, and what purpose it serves, you could leave unsaid. |
| 11:06.22 | Liquid_Ink | Though I wasn't intending to specifically mention copper-based blood either |
| 11:06.27 | Ghelae | And there's a good chance that if you do elaborate, it'll just look like exposition for the sake of exposition anyway. |
| 11:07.23 | Ghelae | Yeah; so leave it unsaid. You only need to explain a discrepancy when people will know that there is a discrepancy. |
| 11:13.52 | Liquid_Ink | The elves have purple blood generally. There's one kind called "Blood Elves" that have red blood. |
| 11:14.37 | Liquid_Ink | I wanted to give them something unique about their name to warrant the "Blood" title |
| 11:16.51 | Liquid_Ink | As in, beyond being ruled by Vampires |
| 11:25.10 | Wormy_ | I remember the Klingons having pink blood. |
| 11:25.36 | Wormy_ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BESse2LbvE |
| 11:26.37 | Liquid_Ink | Yeah, my Orcs have pink blood too |
| 11:27.39 | Liquid_Ink | Why would phasers cause blood to splatter? |
| 11:30.13 | Ghelae | So that they can have CGI floating blood in zero-gravity. |
| 11:31.23 | Liquid_Ink | Suppose there's a different fancy stuff I can do to Blood Elf blood besides give it a different colour? |
| 11:33.36 | Ghelae | It could have a life of its own outside of their bodies, like a giant gloopy red amoeba. |
| 11:34.11 | Ghelae | Or even crazier: the blood could be what has a mind, and the elven body is merely a shell, a puppet. |
| 11:38.48 | Ghelae | Maybe, in a severe case of nominative irony, Blood Elves actually have no blood. |
| 11:39.43 | Liquid_Ink | Nah, if they couldn't feed on them, the Vampires would have merely exterminated them. |
| 11:40.16 | Wormy_ | Well, maybe they still like blood the way adult humans like dairy? |
| 11:41.50 | Liquid_Ink | That was specifically referring to the "no blood" idea |
| 11:42.02 | Ghelae | In that case, blood-creature-using-Elf-body-as-a-shell is still my best idea. |
| 11:44.34 | Liquid_Ink | On more conventional thoughts, they could simply have some sort of ritual culture concerning blood. Bloodletting and all that. |
| 11:45.16 | Ghelae | Oh, fine. Be conventional then. |
| 11:45.23 | Liquid_Ink | Xd |
| 11:45.25 | Liquid_Ink | XD |
| 11:46.01 | Ghelae | Blood-themed culture would fit well. It's also... more realistic, I suppose. |
| 11:46.29 | Ghelae | Obviously realism isn't the greatest concern for fantasy, but I hope you know what I mean. |
| 11:46.47 | Ghelae | Less over-the-top. Less suspension-of-disbelief-violating. etc. |
| 11:46.49 | Liquid_Ink | Yeah, I know |

| 12:48.12 | Wormy_ | I wonder how the Carnivorans would fare against the ancient Creodonts (which Carnivorans replaced) |
| 12:48.23 | Wormy_ | Creodonts were bigger, but less agile |
| 12:48.41 | Wormy_ | and only used their jaws |
| 12:48.59 | Ghelae | Given that the Carnivorans replaced the Creodonts, that suggests to me that the Carnivorans already fared better. |
| 12:49.41 | Ghelae | Of course, that may not have been so much down to fighting. |

| 12:54.08 | Wormy_ | I think the Carnivorans were better hunters, but it seems as though Carnivorans became bigger as the Creodonts were already dying out |

| 21:17.13 | Wormy_ | Unless its Vincent, no idea |
| 21:17.35 | Wormy_ | Well it isn't |
| 21:17.59 | Cyrannian | Probably one of Imperios' KGB friends |
| 21:18.30 | Imperios | Calumny and slander |
| 21:18.42 | Cyrannian | By the Imp, this British general was on the radio this morning talking about war with Russia in 2017 |
| 21:19.02 | Imperios | My ancestors killed the enemies of the Motherland in honourable combat and massed infantry strikes |
| 21:19.12 | Imperios | Not as mooks for Bond villains |
| 21:20.51 | Cyrannian | He claimed that Russia wishes to annex the Baltic states and be very naughty with the ol' nuclear weapons |
| 21:24.06 | Cyrannian | I bring it up because I'm interested in your perception of the situation |
| 21:24.11 | Wormy_ | The world is doomed. Lets get off this rock. |
| 21:25.03 | Cyrannian | Ghelae should have a wormhole generator or something that we could use. |
| 21:27.37 | Wormy_ | I was hoping you had a ship, and then remembered you was abdoned here by your kind to eat car tyres |
| 21:27.54 | Wormy_ | *tires |
| 21:30.44 | Cyrannian | I would appreciate it if you didn't bring up that traumatising episode, thank you very much |
| 21:37.33 | Imperios | I mean you guys go to pubs and concerts and have fun there and all that |
| 21:37.35 | Imperios | I hate concerts |
| 21:37.42 | Imperios | Loud music |
| 21:37.43 | Imperios | brgrgrgrl |
| 21:37.49 | Imperios | oh wait wrong place |
| 21:42.09 | Ghel | Cyrannian: Unfortunately, I sold my wormhole generator so I could buy cookies. |
| 21:42.14 | Ghel | ~give Cyrannian a cookie |
| 21:42.14 | infobot | ACTION gives Cyrannian a home-baked oatmeal raisin cookie to cheer him up. |
| 21:48.14 | Cyrannian | Ghel, that wasn't a wise investment. As you well know, the power of dance can only be used to create wormhole generators from cookies once a year. |
| 21:48.38 | Ghel | Then we'd better hope the world doesn't end until 2017. |
| 21:49.37 | Wormy_ | Keep it steady Putin |
| 21:56.28 | Wormy_ | Ghel: Who did you sell the wormhole to? |
| 22:00.33 | Ghel | Whoever would give me enough money for cookies. |
