Did you know that I am already taking over your empire?

---

Even though cephalopod forces may continue to seize provinces on the frontier, in the capital of the Holy Nicolene Empire we hardly notice, distracted by noble intrigue and decadent parties. Oh, certainly I'm sure my trusted military advisors warn me something must be done, but the empire has lasted for centuries, we no longer worry about such things! And even if our empire is nibbled away to the core, we may barely care to notice until the Squid Warfleet threatens our very palace.

It's really the most fun state for an empire.

Edit: Your power has not struck such fear into my heart because I don't ask you for permission to do stuff.

Oh, that may be a mistake~

Hmm...

But are you sure you can take over my empire?

---

We do not need to take over your puny so-called empire. All states are rightfully subject to the Holy Nicolene State, and so you shall simply surrender to our might.

...well, it may have worked once.

Where is the Holy Nicolene State?

---

I was kind of imagining some sort of galaxy-spanning thing like in Dune or Foundation, to be honest.

Posted by SquidEmpress

Is skyluigi trying to start take over the Holy Nicolene State and install a fascist government with him as the dictator?

---

Is skyl some sort of space fascist?

Is SquidEmpress aware that purple is the "N/A" colour?

---

Historically, masculine pronouns were used as neutral or indeterminate animate gender in English. Personally I dislike this practice and it seems to be in rapid decline, but Squiddy can do what she wishes.

Do I have a dictatorship?

---

I feel like if you did you wouldn't need to ask me about it.

Posted by SquidEmpress

---

Well, I don't consider "he" to be neutral but I don't consider skyluigi to be neutral either.

Anyway, do you think skyluigi is definitely not neutral?

---

It seems like if they want to be neutral we should treat them as such, surely?

Truly, the world turns on the axis of squidluigi.

What is your ideal weather?

---

70 degrees F, sunny, not humid nor dry.

Posted by SquidEmpress

---

So, should they be given snow?

---

Are we talking about skyl? Submitting them to the eternal shoveling seems quite unfortunate.

Posted by SquidEmpress

---

How much snow does the Holy Nicolene Empire get?

---

If we're serious about the whole intergalactic thing, probably whole planets worth.

---

Is the Holy Nicolene Empire like the Fictitious Holÿ Romæn Ëmpīre?

---

Well, it's like the Holy Roman Empire, so it may be like the Fictitious Empire Of Characters Not Used In English.

Posted by skyluigi

---

Is the Holy Nicolene Empire a good place to live?

---

Probably for the aristocracy. But aristocracies always find a way to do well even in modern America oh man I just got political

Posted by skyluigi

---

Is it a good place for an ordinary citizen?

---

The term you're looking for is "subject", peasant.

Did you miss a question on purpose?

---

...I swear I answered those questions- indeed, I swear it so much I'm going to insist that despite the lack of a post I definitely did not skip any questions.

What if I said right here on Kafuka, "Nicole, I question your authority!"?

BEHOLD THE AWESOME MIGHT OF MY POWER *thunderclap*

Is is a good place for an ordinary "subject"?

Why don't you ever let me imply things rather than just constantly asking questions?

Aha! So you're the one who changed my displayname from "SquidEmpress" to "Squidempress", right?

Indeed~

I can change it back if you want though

So you went from the Goddess of The Apocalypse to being holy? That's quite a change.

---

ho·ly
ˈhōlē/
adjective
adjective: holy; comparative adjective: holier; superlative adjective: holiest

1.
dedicated or consecrated to God or a religious purpose; sacred.

You can totally have something be holy if it's dedicated to an evil god or religion

Doesn't @"Tierage" understand that to understand anything that's going on on Kafuka you need to read my all the ask threads?

I hope you won't manipulate my name... will you? :<

---

Of course I wouldn't!

Posted by SquidEmpress

---

Well, may I please have it changed back to "SquidEmpress"? Thanks.

---

YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO

Posted by SquidEmpress

---

Anyway, so your Holy Nicolene Empire is an evil empire? Don't you think my evilness is no match for yours?

---

What evil ave you even done?

Posted by SquidEmpress

---

Edit: Well, at least you made my name change nice. Maybe Liliana just doesn't want her name to be changed to something mean.

---

Why would I be mean to Lili~ ♥? She's one of my best friends on here.

Posted by SquidEmpress

---

Edit 2: But uh, you won't ever change my displayname to something mean, right?

---

And yet you claim to be evil... tsk, tsk.

Posted by skyluigi

---

Do you promise to never change my name to something mean?

---

Why would I ever make that promise, ever? I mean, gods.

Posted by SaphireBlaze

Can you change my name to something mean? (I wan to be a pretty unique hipster snowflake)

Damnit if this becomes a trend I will have to start actually being mean

Which Mario game do you want a level editor for?

---

Super Mario Advance 4 might be cool- my understanding is that it has a ton of elements implemented from other Mario games that were for the e-card levels, so if they can be used in the "main quest" you could do neat stuff maybe.

But for all I know there is an SMA4 editor, I haven't followed hacking closely in ages

Posted by SaphireBlaise

---

Couldn't you have at least changed the misspelling? (Coincidentally Blaise was what I was considering naming my Roleplay character instead of Eldritch. I went with meaning rather then rhyme though)

---

Well the initial plan was to just to outright go "i can't spell sapphire", but that seemed kind of long for a name.

Posted by Lili~ ♥

---

An SMA4 editor? FuSoYa hasn't even managed to implement SMA2 support in Lunar Magic even though apparently some fragments are *kinda* there. Though I guess yeah, with the E-Reader levels and all the unused enemies (according to TCRF) that could actually end up being interesting as opposed to being "another one of those lame (S)NES ports". Would be funny if a GBA emulator actually implemented E-Reader support so you could release E-Reader cards as a bonus to your hack, maybe as a reward for completing a competition or something... (even though I have no idea what kind of format the E-Reader cards actually is, so... )

---

Well there are people other than FuSoYa, or so I've heard

I imagine the e-reader data is just a string of bits that would be embedded on the card....

So er... I'm supposed to ask a question, right? With most of the economy being focused on the natural sciences, are there actually any jobs left that one can do who's good in humanistic sciences like foreign languages and the like? It seems to me that thise who major in classes like English more or less end up on unemployment...

---

I mean, a lot of people don't use their degree in their day-to-day career... and even in cases where it used there are often jobs, the overall question instead becomes "are their more jobs than people who want them", which is practically always "no".

Posted by SaphireBlaise

---

Since when is modern foreign languages a science?

---

Lots of people have different opinions on how broad the word "science" is. And they're all convinced their opinion is the factual definition of a word. This happens frequently with many words, and the recommended practice is to just control your urges to correct people.

Wouldn't it suck if I made a board and most of the users are morons?
Imagine if I ended up with whiny kids instead of competent hackers.

---

Any ROM hacking forum will end up with a large number of whiny kids. I suppose the hope is that some of them will end up competent, but more likely you just get people who eventually mellow out and do nothing but still stick around. These sorts of people now make up nearly 95% of Kafuka's posting population

Posted by SquidEmpress

---

Well, do you think GameCube games like Super Mario Sunshine and Luigi's Mansion need a sophisticated level editor?

---

Honestly? I don't think I'm likely to get into 3-D ROM hacking any time soon.
