10:16.12*** mode/#Cyrannus [+o Ghelae] by ChanServ
10:16.21GhelaeHello.
10:17.37Liquid_InkHellooo
10:17.46Liquid_InkHow are you?
10:18.56*** join/#cyrannus ImpyDroid (~Anders@host-76-152-66-217.spbmts.ru)
10:19.27GhelaeI'm okay; how about you?
10:19.56Liquid_InkPretty good
10:20.46Liquid_InkI've been thinking about the colours blue and purple in relation to the DSB
10:21.15Liquid_InkI feel that the DSB shouldn't have coloured itself after the Lequians, because that would go against their inclusive principles
10:26.11Liquid_InkOne theory I had is that there's a large nebula in the Turr Kyolm belt that's coloured purple and blue
10:27.06Liquid_InkI 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

10:33.19*** join/#cyrannus ImpyDroid (~Anders@host-173-156-66-217.spbmts.ru)
10:33.31GhelaeSo 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)
10:34.39Liquid_InkI think I should relate both to some third phenomena
10:39.12GhelaeCould it be the result of something done by the Sts-Kehat or Sts-Polunde?
10:40.45Liquid_InkPossibly
10:40.54Liquid_InkIt could have something to do with Mystic energy
10:41.46Liquid_InkWhich is the source of the Sts-Kehat's bizarre abilities. I'm not sure I ever made that apparent.
10:43.28GhelaeSome Essences do seem to have colour schemes (for no apparent reason), e.g. Chronoscopic has green and gold, Entropic has reddish-purple and black.
10:44.05Liquid_InkI've always pictured Mystic as a sort of lavendar colour
10:46.18Liquid_Inkhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Krytyczny_Discontinuity Okay I can blame the Zarni on this guy manipulating their cores
10:46.43Liquid_InkAnd 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.
10:55.12GhelaeAnd I can add stuff about colours to the Essence page.
10:55.45Liquid_InkI 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.
10:56.57*** join/#cyrannus ImpyDroid (~Anders@host-173-156-66-217.spbmts.ru)
10:59.46Liquid_InkIn 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.
11:01.15Liquid_InkTheir true presence in the Gigaquadrant was centred in galaxies that were destroyed in the Annihilation. The Xanthrus galaxies, perhaps.
11:02.56GhelaeSombrero, maybe?
11:03.20Liquid_InkToo much Darkspore
11:05.36Liquid_InkThe 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)
11:07.54GhelaeMaybe. 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)
11:08.38GhelaeThe 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.
11:09.21Liquid_InkThe Phradox galaxy is still canon, and still intact, and its description (though well outdated) mentions them.
11:09.59Liquid_InkI think having the Vermulans in Xanthrus sort of rehabilitates them, even if its posthumous.
11:10.31*** join/#cyrannus ImpyDroid2 (~Anders@host-173-156-66-217.spbmts.ru)
11:10.50Ghelae"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.
11:11.00Liquid_InkYeah
11:11.31Liquid_InkI commented on the Bloodletters fleeing from Andromeda. I want them to suffer another defeat there and have them set up shop in Phradox
11:46.16Liquid_InkWritten anything for Essence colour yet?
11:47.42GhelaeNo. I just had a shower and brushed my teeth and got dressed. Granted that accounts for less than 15 minutes.
11:48.19Liquid_InkHow the hell do you do that in 15 minutes?
11:48.34Liquid_InkShowers take like 40 minutes for me
11:49.35GhelaeOne important thing is that I have short hair so I don't have to put much effort into washing it.
11:50.08Liquid_InkOh, that makes sense
11:50.32Liquid_InkI also imagine you don't spend your time pretending to win imaginary arguments with right-wing politicians.
11:51.05GhelaeThat'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).
11:51.44Liquid_InkYeah no singing for me either
11:51.51GhelaeI 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".
11:52.11GhelaeHowever, I didn't do that today, so my shower lasted longer than usual.
11:52.24GhelaeAnyway, now I can write Essence stuff.
12:03.33GhelaeDone.
12:05.36Liquid_InkCool
12:08.19Liquid_InkIn other news I retconned "Concentrated Zarni" back into "Volcanic Zarni"
12:09.13Liquid_InkAlthough "Conectrated" would still be accurate, as I don't have any other Zarni with such high mana as them.
12:10.57*** join/#cyrannus ImpyDroid (~Anders@host-173-156-66-217.spbmts.ru)
12:12.20GhelaeIt's now a rather conspicous entry on an otherwise alphabetically-ordered page, though.
12:12.52Liquid_InkOh, whoops
12:12.55GhelaeWith all those different races, you could easily write about an alien fantasy world.
12:14.13Liquid_InkI'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
12:17.49Liquid_InkWhat with the Volcanics having higher levels of mana and being better at photosynthesis
12:19.24Liquid_InkBlack is better for photosynthesis than green, right?
12:20.59GhelaeIn 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.
12:21.11GhelaeOr IIRC the argument in favour of green is something like that.
12:21.44GhelaeEither 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.
12:22.22Liquid_InkIt's only a backup system, really
12:30.28Jesus_InkI 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
12:32.31GhelaeThere could be all sorts of non-obvious changes to the Volcanic genotype that the Xhousthoe thought were useful.
12:32.52GhelaeAnd making them green as a symbol of their allegience seems perfectly fine to me.
12:35.27Jesus_InkThat makes sense
12:37.42Jesus_InkI just realised that the Greater Zarni Empire page lists the Solkarda species as still being canon. That takes me back.

12:55.11Wormy_I can tell you

23:30.18Liquid_Inkhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Building:A_Big_Block I found this digging through my contributions
23:32.05GhelaeFor some reason, that link was already purple for me.
23:35.46Wormy_What's biochaos?
23:36.08Liquid_InkSomething out of Civilisation II, if I recall
23:36.32Liquid_InkIt was some sort of pollution that came out of your cities and needed cleaning up. In the sci-fi campaign.
23:36.32*** join/#cyrannus ImpyDroid (~Anders@95.140.92.156)
23:36.43Wormy_Reminds me of the perfect mirror in OA
23:51.19GhelaeWormy_: We ought to spend some time thinking of how to rework http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/SporeWiki:Fiction_Universe/Locations/Omniverse some day.
23:52.17Wormy_Removing the framework from 10thDim would be a start
23:53.44Wormy_There's certainly references to other braneworlds, so that idea could be reworkjed
23:54.57GhelaeThe current description used in the hyperspace and time pages is 3D realspace brane folded in 4D leaving hyperspace, surrounded by 5D holospace/Sequencium.
23:56.02GhelaeOther 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.
23:56.14GhelaeI'll need to ask the creators of various planes about that.
23:57.41Wormy_With planes of existence, its a bit hard.  Some might simply be orthogonal projections of this universe.
23:57.51GhelaeXi'Arazulha are mentioned in 2nd Borealis War as being nine-dimensional.
23:58.11Wormy_the mental and virtual spaces anyway
23:58.42GhelaeYes; it'll be the Core Realms rather than the Mental Realms that go into the omniverse page.
23:59.55GhelaeI'm going to go now. Bye!
23:59.55Wormy_I don't know whether to consider the quantum multiverse or not, saince until we reach Sequencium, everything is governed by quantum mechanical laws
