Did he specify using kvartz as a material for chips?

[Wisp]

The internet doesn't believe kvartz exists. And by the internet, I mean google.

Mather, wrong language. In English, it's called Quartz. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it already used in watches and electronics already?

There it is used for its hardness/beauty not its electronical abilities(as we're not high-tech enough and hasn't care to become).

Actually I'm Canadian but I know some of the words, since they're very similar to Norweigan which I kinda know.

 

En allians? Jag funderare dig betyder en överenskommelse för att dela information, som inte är en allians.

 

Oh yes, I just butchered the language, I know.

Hvis du kan norsk snakk heller det enn svensk da, jeg er norsk. Hva var det du sa egentlig? Forstod det ikke.

okay either I am horribly wrong or you just offered him an alliance ( not sure dont really know Slavic languages that well.)

[The Dark Lord]

 

Should we form an alliance where we can freely share information without anyone find out what we say?

 

 

 

Fail! :P

 

 

 

Google Language Translator ftw.

Hey Dusty, I have a Pollock friend that wants to join and play as Poland, is that okay with you?

[Wisp]

I didn't even bother translating it because there are a lot of words similar to English, or other languages I know. But I knew half the thread would be going crazy with translators.

:wall: @ Doom deciding what can and cannot go on in this thread. I say if you spend money and take a fair amount of time, especially if anyone can use it, the tech should stand. We're not all physicists, and besides, what is the fun of a 2050 game played in the 2009 realm of reality?

 

 

 

Everything I'm working on continues.

 

Rocco, he spent a good two hours real life developing a space fighter, then built it instantly. I was just using the space shuttle as a reference. Obviously the space shuttle would cost less in the game, but a space fighter isn't gonna cost 1/30th or less of what the shuttle cost.

That was geared more to the FTL travel stuff.

 

Well considering we had like a 10 page debate, twice, and in that case had several people agreeing with me. And I'm pretty sure the amount of energy needed to create a wormhole won't change in 40 years. Nor the amount of energy in the universe.

True but theoretically would it be possible to give an object (or space ship) negative mass? (so it could go ftl) ( hehehe I am probably wrong)

No it wouldn't.

 

 

 

 

 

Rocco, we're already working on FTL travel. In a way that's not [developmentally delayed]ed. We've had this debate multiple times before.

[Wisp]

And by 40 years of exponentially increasing research, you mean a post a few hours ago saying they had created exotic matter, and were making a wormhole, with no prior research?

 

 

 

Physics is more constant than you might think. It's not like people are disproving Newton's laws every coupl'a weeks. While it is possible that Einteins special theory of relativity could be disproved, it is fairly unlikely.

 

 

 

I agree that the dyson bubble or whatever logically is unlikely, but certainly not impossible.

 

It would, in theory, be possible to make a spacecraft with negative mass, but no humans would be able to use it, because we have positive mass. If we somehow had negative mass, we wouldn't be able to breathe the air, which has positive mass and thus wouldn't be able to travel as fast as the ship. If we could somehow find a negative version of oxygen (That's not antimatter, by the way.), we wouldn't be able to land on a planet because our ship would be repelled by gravity. And so on.

That's not what I'm saying, it's just it kind of bothers me that we're debating whether or not something would be possible in 2050 using 2009 logic -.-

 

Because that's what we are. Humans, from 2009. If we could just change how everything works, the game would be really, really stupid.

 

 

 

We found a way ftl travel can work, we should be happy with that.

Yes, discovery is stupid. My bad, I didn't realize.

 

I discover Newton was wrong about this whole "gravity" business. The earth floats off into outer space, and unfortunately collides with Jupiter, which happened to be going in a direction in which it would cross paths with earth. What a shame.

 

 

 

 

 

My point is, 2009 is what is real, for us. We can't just say we can discover something that contradicts 2009 physics because we feel like it, because then we can change anything. In roleplaying, that's pretty much godmodding.

 

If this were a game based around interstellar empires, with FTL from the start, I'd be ok with it, because that's how the game works. This game is based in reality though.

[Wisp]

If you want to start a game like this only interstellar, where everyone would start at the same point (So no countries/whatever have an advantage over eachother) and each person starts with their own planet or something, I'd probably join. It should be in the falador library though, as should this thread.

yeah but its far more convenient for it to be here... Doom just curious but on what principal did you base your interstellar engines off of ( do you use a sail etc.) just curious.

Changes:

 

 

 

-Joined the Norwegian and Finnish colonies.

 

-Coloured in Malaysia's plot of land.

 

You don't have the right to give away my land. The bodies of my colonists are still there, so it's still technically mine.

 

 

 

He's completely right you know. He could still play from Mars. But it'd be kinda difficult since no one really has anyone but people up there...

 

 

 

In fact, I think I'll move into that nice little plot of Mars directly East of my current settlement, for expansion sake. It's probably getting cozy up there.

 

 

 

Also, I'm assuming Dusty was okay with the last percentages, and auditions will be finialized in like 12 real life hours after all participants sign the waiver previously mentioned.

That'd be a fun as hell game, but let's finish off this one first, shall we? I'd also prefer it on OffTopic, because I've never even clicked on the Falador Library.

This game may take quite awhile to finish as we are at a deadlock with 3 superpowers right now.

[Wisp]

The only problem with a game like that is boundaries. We'd have to have fairly strict rules on discovery of planets, because unlike earth, we really have nothing to base stuff on. In this game I can't just discover an oil well that can put out 10 million barrels a day, but in a game like that, I could find a planet made out of pure gold or something.

 

It would be cool though if a game like that was based in the future of this game. So like, I'd still be based on the Brazilian empire, only a few thousand years down the line.

 

 

 

Or we could all go play sins of a solar empire for a few months straight.

 

 

 

Also, by "bodies of my colonists" I thought he literally meant the corpses. I don't know.
