There are too many DnD games here now, this is a soft RP subforum, not a DnD subforum.

Syron's easy to guess, pyromancer with some allomancer skills. I'm also guessing that he lost his arm in combat or a training accident and that prosthesis was what inspired him to train allomancy. The two bellow the aeromancer look to me like a transmogrifier or dracomancer and a geomancer.

Lynx, as in dodging anything; balls, punches, pokes...

And that's why I prefer to have my mind-controlled stuff controlled directly by my brain rather than some bastardized telekinesis. Ahh, speed reading, the only thing I can do faster than I can think... well, that and dodging.

Retech, I don't think anyone would call a seemingly normal cold storage "in the ground".

Of course there is, but there's no such thing as a perfect software, the difference being that a flawless software does not glitch or bug by itself, a perfect software would not glitch or bug no matter what happens. Flawless software for the units would simply be LAN software made specifically for PS3s working on the AI script. Mask, you know what a cold storage building is, right? You just take one of those,seal the doors with rubber and lead the ACs outlet to its intake.

There is nothing that can go wrong, with no dust, no access to any outside information and faultless software, the units can't bug or become infected. With a refridgerated room they can't overheat. And with geothermal power, the only thing that can cut the power would be something that causes massive damage to the Earth itself.

Mask, a few thousand PS3s, a sterile, air-tight, refidgerated room and a geothermal generator would do.

It's a project that would take virtually forever, but it's way more likely to suceed than trying to script something that does things that aren't part of its script.

Yes, a self-rewriting program is easily corruptable, that's the entire point of it, since if it corrupts just the right way, it could gain a function that could potentially lead to some sort of evolution.

Mask, all it would take to test it out would be a really good programmer who knows how to make worms.

Not the 10 dimentions, the multiverse theory, which states that there are infinite parallel universes in which one or more decisions were made differently. And our brains functions exactly like computers, we need sensors (our senses) to detect everything, we have our inner ear to detect which way is up, similiar to a gyroscope. And to respect any aspects of physics, we have to experience or learn about it from one or more of our senses, as does a computer. To create a ghost in the machine, a computer is not enough, the seed needed to spawn the ghost would have to be a program that constantly rewrites itself, with hundreds of tiny functions. Heck, it might even have to be capable of adapting to the computer, spreading via worms and comunicating (to share upgrades) with itself in order to trigger a sufficient bug to trigger the change that leads to its evolution.

I just realized something. There are two possibilities for the existance of free will, multiverses and AIs: Either minds does work purely by the chemical and electrochemical reactions in our brain, meaning there is no free will, there are no alternative events (there goes the multiverse theory) and AIs will never exist. Or all minds are the result of "ghosts in the machine" bugs that should never have happened resulting in results that were never meant to be and as a result the mind is more than the brain, we do have free will, choises are made (hello, multiverse theory) and the only way to create a true AI is to wait or brute force a "ghost in the machine" on computers. This was thought out when I realized that the neural signals have to either be the result of chemical reactions or they have to come into existance without cause (the meaning of the term ghost in the machine).

Ok, so a HUNIN-class ship costs 18,391.2 kT to build. I don't think that's too bad of a price, right? The only real costly things are essentials, the ARC generator core is way cheaper then expected and the thrusters and main weapons use the same array.

Would it be possible to research upgrades for player AIs to make them faster and improve their multi-tasking capabillities? Basically make then smarter and improve their computing power.

My problems? I'm just not particularly fond of maptools, if that's on any end but mine then I should be worried.

Forum, IRC or maptool?

Sweet! We must take advantage of that, right Earth? EDIT: Wait, no bays for the graviton drives? I'll change the price estimate I sent you to incorporate that and the price.

Ok, in that case I hope he's having a good time... and I've been worrying for no reason. :wall:

I wonder why Archi's suddenly so silent, I hope there's nothing wrong.

Yeah, some mod or admin took care of the first post somewhere after I posted and the second somewhere after I reported it.

I don't think a topic would be de-bumped just because you delete the post that bumped it.

Icu, he said something around the lines of "Those are some very interesting arguements, maybe this can be of use to your blog [something] furniture."

Nex, you don't happen to be playing Battlefield Play4Free, do you? I met, or rather was killed twice by someone nicknamed +Faust or Faust+, can't remember which side the plus was on,
