Jehosaphat

I avoid the people with their lights off when I get my free month-long sugar high. (People always wonder why my grades soar in November - i take in more information when I'm either hyperactive or asleep.) And might I recommend something more entertaining than watching movies? Dress up as a scarecrow then sit in a rockingchair on your porch without the rats or anything. Then, when trick-or-treaters come up, scare the crap outta them.

Maybe a blood & gore version of Meeting History? Or MEP3, although that would be a bit fast....

It's not his. And it never was, according to the deal. I said something along the lines of, you get Sri Lanka, I get Nigeria, and it's like we each owned that land the whole time. Dusty attempting to take that land is a direct act of war. Agreed, It doesn't matter that no one lives on some of Canada's arctic islands, They still belong to Canada. Dusty, at a 50% growth rate, in 10 years your population would be at over 50 children per 2 adults. It Might be maintainable eventually, but the first 10-15 years would be hell. HELL?!? THIS..... IS..... SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! And yes, I currently have nothing more constructive to say than a lame joke.

Little RWTer. Shame on him. Shame on the hacker too. Anyone else LOL at 3:00 when Jagex said they try to return stuff? Bet someone got fired over that, they have a strict "no return" policy.

Time for the usual generic daily update. Electric Shield: 19/20 New Hope Space Station: 19/27 Project Freon: 10/15 Military Pods: 7/18 Miners: 4/5 Travel Pods: 4/6 New Factory: 1/2 Next section of New Hope is up, containing ammo for the ion weapons. The Project Freon scientists have managed to use some of the small amounts of cryonite to somehow infuse rats with the cold resistance gene into solid ice, and they're actually still alive. Still no word on how thid new speciese will ever be able to move, but my scientists say it is slightly stronger than its previous species and a great deal dumber. I saw the argument about my cannons earlier. Well, the reason they're so cheap is that they're only slightly more powerful than a cannon used by pirates back in the 16th century. Thing is, they have a tendency to be equally powerful against all metals, and organic material just get shredded. And they're easier to aim, and the rifles and pistols are just as portable as IRL rifles and pistols. So all my soldiers have received an ion pistol and either an extra pistol or a rifle, and education on how to use them. They have also had training on how to fire an ion cannon as well. Mini-Hope production has been temporarily halted after the 12th Mini-Hope came out. Aside from that, not much is happening. I should start some gigantic project sometime, just for the heck of it....

Ecto is good if you're patient and a failure at making money. (like me) Otherwise, get yerself to a g altar.

Since paul bought some of my ion cannons, I realized that I forgot to mention the price specs on them. So, here you go. Ion cannons cost $7.5 million apiece to produce. Rifles take $2.5 million, and pistols $1 million. My factories can produce more of these per year than I'm currently using, so the rate doesn't really matter. The cartridges cost $5 million for 500 normal cartridges, and $10 million for 500 radioactive cartridges. A Mini-hope has returned from the asteroid field with approximately 1 ton of cryonite. Seeing how common this metal is, we will be using the miners to harvest it once New Hope is launched. Scientists have managed to easily make cryonite ion cartridges. However, they were not cheap, but come with a very nice effect - in a cannon, it blows a 5m hole about 2 feet into concrete, then freezes the next 2 feet of concrete below subzero temperatures. This effect is proportional with the other ion weapons as well. These cartridges will not be very cheap to produce, though, so I'm pricing them at about $100 million for 500 until a larger source of cryonite is found. Also, these are not the buying prices if you intend to buy the cannons and whatnot. These are what they cost me to produce. Also, I have begun building another factory on Iceland. It should be done within 2 years, and will cost me about $10 billion. It will cause production rates to fall variably depending on what is being produced.

Hrm, I'm sure I could find something like a cooking torch. Please post it :D I'd probably refer to this thread in the future when I get into the habit of baking / cooking. Acetylene welder works too, right....?

The last time I checked I was ordered not to use ANY StarGate tech. Because a great deal of your StarGate tech is either impossible or overpowered.

[hide] Nop, but M16 are standard automatic rifles, that gun is original and alien. Okay, as you completely missed my point, STARGATE DIDN'T INVENT THE CONCEPT OF TRIPLE BARRELED SHOTGUNS. We've all had enough of Stargate, if someone posts something that looks similar to something from Stargate, guess what? None of us really care that much. So StarGateish tech is allowed as long as it isn't mine? His point was that it's not stargate tech, it's just using a picture from it. He also "incidentaly" gave it the almost exact same function? Two single-blast rifle barrels and one energy launcher. [/hide] Yes. Now give it up, please. We don't care if what he has is similar to stargate, the fact is he didn't just rip it from the show and put it on here.

[/hide] I'm not sure that you've researched ion cannons. Was part of the ion weaponry project, went right along with the rifles and the pistols.

and how are you going to power said ion cannons? I'm sending the ammo up next year. And they don't really need power, the ion beam is powered by the ion cartridge. Sort of like how you don't need to plug in a gun to shoot it.

Electric Shield: 18/20 New Hope Space Station: 18/27 Project Freon: 9/15 Military Pods: 6/18 Miners: 3/5 Travel Pods: 3/6 Another section of New Hope is up, containing about 30 ion cannons. Acceleration Engine project is complete. Sadly, my scientists couldn't find a way to make the AEM more efficient, so we're sticking with the current design. The Project Freon scientists have engineered a gene that allows creatures to survive at extremely cold temperatures. However, this gene also creates a necessity for a layer of ice on the skin of the creature in question. So far, they've managed to encase a rat with this gene in ice and currently are working on a way to allow it to move. The two Mini-Hopes have returned from Oruguma and have received the latest tech upgrades. The scientists working on the Miners project have created a design. They are now working on programming it.

My nation's no longer called Iceland, it was renamed to Napta when we started colonizing on other planets. Just for future reference.

I can imagine the conversation in the Olympic commitee about the new medals. "Sir! Something went wrong in the process of creating the medals!" "Ugh, so what do they look like now...?" "They're sorta bent out of shape, for one...." "Oh, we can just call it modern art then. Now go away and let me drink my coffee in peace." As for the 2012 logo, WTH? If they put that on medals and still have it be bright pink, I might vomit while watching the Olympics.

Acceleration Engine: 17/18 Electric Shield: 17/20 New Hope Space Station: 17/27 Project Freon: 8/15 Military Pods: 5/18 Miners: 2/5 Travel Pods: 2/6 Another section of New Hope is up, containing more various small things needed for a semi-comfortable life. TONSIL is complete, and the specs for the modified dioxide exchanger have been sent to all the Mini-Hopes. My colony on Zhoreuc is now completely set up, and has 1,000 people with a growth rate of 4%. The station orbiting Oruguma is now fully complete, and has 1,000 people with growth rate of only 0.2% due to the need to conserve oxygen. The Project Freon scientists seem to have found a way to encase a rat in subzero-temperature ice without having it freeze to death. More investigation in to how this is possible is occurring.

I was just trying to get it through your skull. And now, he has stated that he understands my statement and the point I am trying to make, but yet has still not told me what I should do differently. I believe that is called a "Fail."

IF YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME THAT I'M DOING SOMETHING WRONG, TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD DO INSTEAD! Understand that?

"you playing with no economy! That no fair!" "Reasonable response...." "you still playing with no economy! And cba to provide any proof! Or any positive suggestions as towards what you might change!"

Do you WANT me to post all the stats I've had since I started? Because I can, and they will add up just fine. And my economy isn't non-existent, it's just boosted by the extra 50m a year Dusty's giving me. Ty again for that, btw. Wait a minute. I sense bribery.... Also, I make all my projects able to fit within my budget. If someone who's proved to be reasonable (Dusty, Sere, Doom....) can say that one/some of them need to be more expensvie, then by all means, I'll make it more expensive and temporarily stop other projects so that it still fits in my budget.

Wow. Lots can happen when one is gone for 18 hours. Anyways, daily update time: Acceleration Engine: 16/18 Electric Shield: 16/20 New Hope Space Station: 16/27 TONSIL: 9/10 Project Freon: 7/15 Station at Oruguma:5/6 (I rounded it up so I don't have to keep track of post times) Military Pods: 4/18 Colony on Zhoeruc: 3/4 Miners: 1/5 Travel Pods: 1/6 Another section of New Hope is up, containing various small things needed for a semi-comfortable life. Ion Weponry project is finished, and a dozen ion cannons have been fitted to the latest Mini-Hope. Specs for the cannon have been sent to all my other ships and colonies in hopes that they will have the resources for them. My people have landed on Zhoreuc and have begun establishing a colony, as well as having built a small factory and shipyard. This colony's growth rate will be 4%, as they need to keep the colony alive and well. I don't really care where on the map they land, someone just put them there for me as I feel too sick to mess with a map. Research begins on automated miners. These miners will take a year to research, 3 years to program, and a final two years to build and begin production. It will cost around $5 billion overall.They will be able to identify and collect a kilogram of rare, semi-rare, and useful minerals, such as gold, coal, and cryonite, and drill about 1000 feet before needing maintenance. They will be able to be transported singularly in a transport pod, mentioned later. During the project, 20 of these will be made on Earth. After the project is complete, my factory on Earth will be able to make 20 of these per year, my factory on Zhoreuc will be able to make 5 per year, costing roughly $10 million apiece. The number produced on Zhoreuc will probably increase once more minerals have been found. Research has begun also on a small transport pod for use of transporting small samples of materials to laboratories. This will cost about $1 bil per year, and will be able to carry about 20kg of materials at FTL speed without having to move the location of any ships. It will take 1 year for research, 2 years to fit the warp drives into the pods, and 3 years to begin production. During research, 5 of these will be constructed. After research, my factory on Earth will be able to make 2 per year, and the factories on Zhoreuc and Oruguma Station will be able to produce 1 per year. The station orbiting Oruguma is nearly complete, and the two New Hopes sent to oversee the construction have begun to return to Earth to be retrofitted with new tech. The Oruguma station currently has 1,000 people, and will have a growth rate of .2% so as to not overuse oxygen. All equipment has begun modifications to allow it to be run by the conscious fluids. Modification have also begun being made to the ion cannon so that it can be semi-automated with a conscious fluid at its core, controlling aim, motors at the base of the cannons, etc. Approximately 50 of these ion cannon militia can be recruited per year. The Freon scientists are now working on a different species. Napta has begun government-run production and sale of conscious-fluid pets, with 70% of money coming from them going to the government. $285 million a year is produced by this, and $200 million of it goes to the government. I also figured I should put some stats for the conscious fluids: They have a high reproduction rate due to the nature of their death. 7.5%, to be exact. They currently have a population of only 100, due to the fact that they were only recently engineered from clones. Dang that was a lot.

Make a guide then? :) OH HECK YES. Tomorrow. It's too late right now.

I'm not. Well, I guess you could say sort of. When going on a slayer task, I always have teleport runes to and from at the top, then any passive equipment I may be using (potions, holy wrench, spec weapon, etc.), then food which gets gradually replaced by drops. My bank is organized into: Random Crap Summoning supplies Herblore supplies Farming supplies Mage equipment Ranging supplies And a couple of extra tabs for whenever I do something special, like a tab for barrows loot whenever I go to barrows, or a tab of stuff that needs to be sold when I clean out my bank. In that order.

I am going to be doing what I usually do - building my own costume, then go to something at the church to give little kids candy, then go coalition trick-or-treating with the family I have been doing so with for 12 years. Frankly, I wish someone would try to prank us so I could throw things at them. Thing is, we live in the practical middle of nowhere, so nobody's gonna bother. :(

I just realized something. Since the ion weapons fire ions in a straight line at a target, then they could be used far-off. WAY far-off. And also, since I think mather started a war.... oh wait, there's nothing I can do since he's so far away. Good-y.
