10:17.37 | Liquid_Ink | Hellooo |
10:17.46 | Liquid_Ink | How are you? |

10:19.27 | Ghelae | I'm okay; how about you? |
10:19.56 | Liquid_Ink | Pretty good |
10:20.46 | Liquid_Ink | I've been thinking about the colours blue and purple in relation to the DSB |
10:21.15 | Liquid_Ink | I feel that the DSB shouldn't have coloured itself after the Lequians, because that would go against their inclusive principles |
10:26.11 | Liquid_Ink | One theory I had is that there's a large nebula in the Turr Kyolm belt that's coloured purple and blue |
10:27.06 | Liquid_Ink | I noticed that the two Zarni subspecies I had that didn't have red cores had blue and purple cores, so I think it would go deeper than just astral symbolism |

10:33.31 | Ghelae | So do you think you could relate the Zarni core colours to the DSB colours? |
10:34.15 | *** join/#cyrannus ImpyAndroid (~Anders@195.19.236.21) |
10:34.39 | Liquid_Ink | I think I should relate both to some third phenomena |
10:39.12 | Ghelae | Could it be the result of something done by the Sts-Kehat or Sts-Polunde? |
10:40.45 | Liquid_Ink | Possibly |
10:40.54 | Liquid_Ink | It could have something to do with Mystic energy |
10:41.46 | Liquid_Ink | Which is the source of the Sts-Kehat's bizarre abilities. I'm not sure I ever made that apparent. |
10:43.28 | Ghelae | Some Essences do seem to have colour schemes (for no apparent reason), e.g. Chronoscopic has green and gold, Entropic has reddish-purple and black. |
10:44.05 | Liquid_Ink | I've always pictured Mystic as a sort of lavendar colour |
10:46.18 | Liquid_Ink | http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Krytyczny_Discontinuity Okay I can blame the Zarni on this guy manipulating their cores |
10:46.43 | Liquid_Ink | And I can bring in the nebula idea by saying it's the residue of its use of mystic energy to seal away the Sts-Kehat Great Ones. |
10:55.12 | Ghelae | And I can add stuff about colours to the Essence page. |
10:55.45 | Liquid_Ink | I intended to keep the Krytyczny's identity totally ambiguous. I'm still going to write the page up like that, but canonically it's a specimen of Mystic Essential. |

10:59.46 | Liquid_Ink | In other news, I figured out how to justify the Vermulans despite being hinted as a Gigaquadrantic hyperpower turned out only to have a small colony in the Magellanic. |
11:01.15 | Liquid_Ink | Their true presence in the Gigaquadrant was centred in galaxies that were destroyed in the Annihilation. The Xanthrus galaxies, perhaps. |
11:02.56 | Ghelae | Sombrero, maybe? |
11:03.20 | Liquid_Ink | Too much Darkspore |
11:05.36 | Liquid_Ink | The Xanthrus galaxies seem to be a decent choice. Totally abandoned by the Oblivia'Atra's self-exile, there would have been no presence from the political Gigaquadrant to pay them much mind. |
11:06.01 | *** join/#cyrannus ImpyDroid2 (~Anders@195.19.236.21) |
11:07.54 | Ghelae | Maybe. There are loads of other galaxies that never appeared in the fictionverse too, of course. |
11:08.22 | *** join/#cyrannus ImpyDroid (~Anders@195.19.236.21) |
11:08.38 | Ghelae | The Xanthrus galaxies aren't listed on the locations page, probably because I felt that Mushrum's leaving retconned them out. No need to take that as gospel though. |
11:09.21 | Liquid_Ink | The Phradox galaxy is still canon, and still intact, and its description (though well outdated) mentions them. |
11:09.59 | Liquid_Ink | I think having the Vermulans in Xanthrus sort of rehabilitates them, even if its posthumous. |

11:10.50 | Ghelae | "At one time, the Phradox Galaxy faded into inactivity before efforts from Wormy and Cyrannian, brought it back into activity." It looks like it needs another set of efforts to that end. |
11:11.00 | Liquid_Ink | Yeah |
11:11.31 | Liquid_Ink | I commented on the Bloodletters fleeing from Andromeda. I want them to suffer another defeat there and have them set up shop in Phradox |
11:46.16 | Liquid_Ink | Written anything for Essence colour yet? |
11:47.42 | Ghelae | No. I just had a shower and brushed my teeth and got dressed. Granted that accounts for less than 15 minutes. |
11:48.19 | Liquid_Ink | How the hell do you do that in 15 minutes? |
11:48.34 | Liquid_Ink | Showers take like 40 minutes for me |
11:49.35 | Ghelae | One important thing is that I have short hair so I don't have to put much effort into washing it. |
11:50.08 | Liquid_Ink | Oh, that makes sense |
11:50.32 | Liquid_Ink | I also imagine you don't spend your time pretending to win imaginary arguments with right-wing politicians. |
11:51.05 | Ghelae | That's correct. My total time depends on whether or not I remember, and feel like, playing "Let It Go" in my head (my singing voice is so horrible I wouldn't consider actually vocalising the lyrics). |
11:51.44 | Liquid_Ink | Yeah no singing for me either |
11:51.51 | Ghelae | I find that provides the ideal shower length for me. Also, if it's a cold day and I feel like staying in the shower to warm up, I can't honestly act on that after "the cold never bothered me anyway". |
11:52.11 | Ghelae | However, I didn't do that today, so my shower lasted longer than usual. |
11:52.24 | Ghelae | Anyway, now I can write Essence stuff. |
12:03.33 | Ghelae | Done. |
12:05.36 | Liquid_Ink | Cool |
12:08.19 | Liquid_Ink | In other news I retconned "Concentrated Zarni" back into "Volcanic Zarni" |
12:09.13 | Liquid_Ink | Although "Conectrated" would still be accurate, as I don't have any other Zarni with such high mana as them. |

12:12.20 | Ghelae | It's now a rather conspicous entry on an otherwise alphabetically-ordered page, though. |
12:12.52 | Liquid_Ink | Oh, whoops |
12:12.55 | Ghelae | With all those different races, you could easily write about an alien fantasy world. |
12:14.13 | Liquid_Ink | I'm also not sure why the Xhousthoe would have made the Astral Zarni the way they are, rather than just use the Volcanic Zarni directly |
12:17.49 | Liquid_Ink | What with the Volcanics having higher levels of mana and being better at photosynthesis |
12:19.24 | Liquid_Ink | Black is better for photosynthesis than green, right? |
12:20.59 | Ghelae | In terms of total energy captured, yes, but it's possible that reflecting green light gives a more consistent amount of light absorbed over time, which in turn means temperature is held more steady. |
12:21.11 | Ghelae | Or IIRC the argument in favour of green is something like that. |
12:21.44 | Ghelae | Either way, photosynthesis is only really effective for sessile organisms. The more active the Zarni are, the more they'll have to rely on other energy sources. |
12:22.22 | Liquid_Ink | It's only a backup system, really |
12:30.28 | Jesus_Ink | I suppose the Astral Zarni could be technically the best suited for Kavideon. Perhaps the Volcanic Zarni were actually over the top, and had to be toned down? And the Xhousthoe's enhancements are internal |
12:32.31 | Ghelae | There could be all sorts of non-obvious changes to the Volcanic genotype that the Xhousthoe thought were useful. |
12:32.52 | Ghelae | And making them green as a symbol of their allegience seems perfectly fine to me. |
12:35.27 | Jesus_Ink | That makes sense |
12:37.42 | Jesus_Ink | I just realised that the Greater Zarni Empire page lists the Solkarda species as still being canon. That takes me back. |

23:36.43 | Wormy_ | Reminds me of the perfect mirror in OA |
23:51.19 | Ghelae | Wormy_: We ought to spend some time thinking of how to rework http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:Fiction_Universe/Locations/Omniverse some day. |
23:52.17 | Wormy_ | Removing the framework from 10thDim would be a start |
23:53.44 | Wormy_ | There's certainly references to other braneworlds, so that idea could be reworkjed |
23:54.57 | Ghelae | The current description used in the hyperspace and time pages is 3D realspace brane folded in 4D leaving hyperspace, surrounded by 5D holospace/Sequencium. |
23:56.02 | Ghelae | Other Planes of Existence may need to be accounted for with additional dimensions, but I'm thinking some of them may be supernatural discrete dimensions, i.e. only jumps between planes are allowed, rather than the traditional continuous ones, i.e. where there exists space between planes. |
23:56.14 | Ghelae | I'll need to ask the creators of various planes about that. |
23:57.41 | Wormy_ | With planes of existence, its a bit hard. Some might simply be orthogonal projections of this universe. |
23:57.51 | Ghelae | Xi'Arazulha are mentioned in 2nd Borealis War as being nine-dimensional. |
23:58.11 | Wormy_ | the mental and virtual spaces anyway |
23:58.42 | Ghelae | Yes; it'll be the Core Realms rather than the Mental Realms that go into the omniverse page. |
23:59.55 | Ghelae | I'm going to go now. Bye! |
23:59.55 | Wormy_ | I don't know whether to consider the quantum multiverse or not, saince until we reach Sequencium, everything is governed by quantum mechanical laws |
