C'est la vie. I will leave security in your hands. On a side note do you really want schizophrenics allowed to be in any type of proximity to firearms?

I do not draw where the line between genius and madness lies, I only push those I suspect towards it.

 

Yeah I speak really broken and horrid french.

Hmm. I will consider it, Dusty. I'll just escort my athletes with members of the Royal Guard, which is guaranteed to not cause any riots, if I participate. They are well-trained and chivalrous military-style police officers. If need be, some of the Guardsmen can help maintain the games by keeping the possibility of riots at a bare minimum.

 

Regardless, athletes are being trained for as many categories as possible.

 

 

Eh, consider it. TFed police and military are more then adequate to keep in line the people, keep that in mind.

 

 

For some reason, that reminded me to look up Anglo-Saxon (Old English).

 

Here's some random sentence in Anglo-Saxon: Hwæt! wē Gār-Dena in geār-dagum

I think it's pretty interesting to read about.

@Grim:

 

Haha, same here. Only three kids signed up for French III, so we were thrown into a French II class. Our teacher sucks at teaching, and she spends most of her time helping the French II kids. I haven't taken a French class since 10th grade, so I need someone to help me remember some things. It's so pitiful that when we had a Russian substitute that happened to be fluent in French, she was extremely angry because no one taught us some basic grammar dealing with "ce qui", "ce que", and "ce dont". She's right, though. The school system (hell, even the national level) is pitiful. It embarrasses the hell out of me because my French is lacking.

Is that from Beowulf?

 

Also, try download a french language program from the internet (hmm) if you just want to freshen up on your French. That or move to Quebec for a year. We have good beer.

I should probably purchase a programme such as Rosetta Stone and review some lessons every night.

 

OT: Didn't realise that you were a Quebecer. :o

 

OT2: By the way, what language is that phrase in your sig again?

I may send one of the Durendal prototypes to compete. What are the rules on competitors the size of large trucks?

Ooh, where in Quebec? I'm like 30 mins from Montreal.

 

Project Hellfire is complete.

Several Hellfire Cruisers are being made, they each will carry around 100,000 hellfire troopers, and have the combat abilities of 5 heavy battleships.

 

Oh, and in other news most of space production will now be put into building a ship 5 times the size of the original Sa Matra, with 5 times the power etc. The old sa matra will become my Away Fleet's flagship.

So...can anyone tell me what's happened? :ohnoes:

Due to the increased ammount of physical training jaffa has to go through their avarage strenghth has increased from being able to lift 300 kg to a massive 500kg(it is after all a year with training almost each day)!! This training rate shall be continued.

In other news a research station has been built, this is controlled by twenty scientist goa'ulds and fifty jaffa guards, this is be sent into space between Met'al, Meoxo, Imezon and Capiah, away from any gravity well(removing speed-down time). Here a Hyperdrive will be researched, this will allow ships to enter and exit a small dimension known as hyperspace in order to reduce the ammount of space needed to be travelled by a hundred-fold, this can be used inside gravitywells and thus will remove two years from the time needed for the same distance in warp. Anyone who wish can bring Scientists(and guards if they wish, however only firearms and melee weapons may be brought(in order to prevent unpleasant "situations")), if you do that will help lower the research time and you will also gain the technology.

Current ETA 80 years.

Tales FROM THE VOID!

 

Fine, ignore us, we invite ourselves to the Quadrennial Militopian Games. We shall send our people on the day (Don't worry, I am only competing in 1 event, which I will definately win) to compete in the athletics event.

 

And yeah, I'll roll. If anyone thinks they have some advantage in an event(please do all events seperately) then PM me what they are and I will assign a modifer. The modifers for stuff like weight lifting will be quite high I am guessing.

Heh, thought so. And you can get Rosetta Stone for free if you're willing to go the more seedy route.

I lived in Quebec for 3 years, in Montreal (Verdun), I'm in Toronto now though.

 

And my sig is Old Saxon, from Beowulf :P

Gah! Please people! Moderator between a rock and and editing your posts if you post links and such.

Oh no I learned that lesson a long time ago Arch hehe.

I'm going to compete in all the events even though my people can't ride horses or bicycles. I'll probaly win all of the in-water events and maybe some of the above water events.

So...can anyone tell me what's happened? :ohnoes:

 

We had a party.

There was cake.

No one wants to join in on the Hyperdrive research and gain a more usefull FTL drive?

I am interested, but I have to ask a few questions first.

 

1. I control Capiah and Meoxo; who controls the other two planets?

2. Who will control this area of space once research is completed?

3. Will this research be allowed?

 

If I can be assured of a few things, then I'll send thousands of scientists to construct a research center. It'll be like the international space station, with parts preferably made from different countries.

I've allready ready sent a station there also the trip will only take 1.(something) years because there's no gravity well to enter.

 

1. I controll all of Imezon(or actually 5/6 considdering we share Grav Ødeland), but it doesn't matter since the location was only random(only out of gravity well is important).

2. That will be decided later if anyone wants it.

3. It was allowed with sufficient research time(which is lowered the more people join).

Mather, your research is irrelevant, that's essentially how our current space travel system already works. If you use the new material (Duna) you can travel anywhere within 50 ly within a year, be happy to have that.

I'll contribute a team of my finest scientists (1,000), a research lab, and some life support (grows kelp for the scientists, and a nice fish tank with live manta ray for eating)

Thanks for helping, research-time lowered to 50 years.

 

And Doom, why waste precious materials on something we are allowed to research alternative methods of doing?

 

Remember people, if you join the research you will have access to a tech which would be much further ahead than it would be if you join.

The next to join will lower time down to thirty years, then there's twenty, fifteen, ten, seven and five(lowering more would be rediculus)!

Mather, the point is you're not researching anything new. That's how our current system of ftl works, and that's as fast as it's going to get.

With Duna and this gravity well thingy, it can be cut down to almost nil

Yes, but that requires a supply of Duna and is limited at some point. But hyperdrives can be improved to go intergalactic in less than a year, if neccessary.

 

OT: First post using my hTC Tattoo.

Don't you have some Duna?

 

Also, how long has it been since the Duna-planets have been open.
