Space

[Leiana]

How in the world did I get tied to Myren! I know I said to follow Myren regardless of what happened, but tied?!

[Nexaduro]

Heh. Who do you think tied the rope? :rolleyes:

[Leiana]

Arit wouldn't tie herself to a compleat git (idiot), so It would have to be Myren who tied them together.

Ok, I have recieved word from at least three people that they will be unable to attend the session due to them wanting to play TF2. Personally I can't see the attraction, but should be a rather intesive session, so reschedualing for tommorrow.

 

 

I am not sure about Mask or Mather, so if they wish to have their session I will be avaliable until about half an hour after the start time. Then, if they have not said anything I shall do something else for the evening.

[Leiana]

O.O WHHHHHHAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT?!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Space is way more important than TF2!

[Alg]

Space is way more important than TF2!

But TF2 has hats! HATS! :mrgreen:

[Leiana]

Mask, I know. I want to play TF2, but I'd rather play space cause its more important. People can play TF2 on they're own time. Space is on a schedual

[Nexaduro]

I can't even f'ing play TF2. I get purple checkerboard textures and fail to load any multiplayer servers.

[Earth]

I can't attend the se- Oh wait, it's tommorow. Cool! More time to play Spiral Knights!!!

[Icuownage]

Free to play scum.

[Leiana]

Though, no offence Archi, I'm kinda glad there isn't a session today. I'm still recovering from the events of yesterday. And I might be going out later.

[Earth]

ICu, technically, everyone who plays TF2 is F2P 'scum'.

[Icuownage]

Technically no

 

As I paid for it, and I believe theirs an option to still pay for it for cosmetics and such.

 

Although I don't really bother with hats as they just make my sniper stand out more which is the opposite of what I want.

[Earth]

Heh. I bought it as well, and now will be going to go play some ZF onf TF.

rofl lol that not how you ply

[Icuownage]

Hahaha :P

 

I like sniping it's fun.

[Leiana]

Archi, I am going to be really late tomorrow, like 4 hours late.

To fix some details so they can't be ignored/changed in the future:

 

TAUROS is an AI server in which the AI is partially hardwired into the server unit, the server cannot function with any other AI, the AI cannot function with any other unit unless it is designed for the AI. It is approximately 2*1.5*1.5 meter, with a carbon nanofibre housing and a slot in which the man-sized android can be recharged, while in the slot the entire back of the android is covered by the server with only the front protruding. The server has infrared, Bluetooth, WiFi and any other wireless communication means you can think of, including one unique to it and its android. It also has every single type of wired port, ranging from USB and Firewire to COM, audio, SCART, HDMI, microSD and anything else you can think of. It has four wheels, no motor, a nuclear fission reactor and a bar which is used to move it. The wheels have brakes which can be controlled both by the server and manually. It utilizes a HDD mass storage device for high-detailed long-term memory of everything it perceives. It is capable of coding, even being able to create software for itself. It has two secondary power options, a battery adapter which utilizes two-way recharge plate technology and a mains connection with wires for both two, three and five pole AC, it can both supply and be supplied electricity through both.

[archimage_a]

Tauros Addendum:

Inner core:

 

Wheels are 20 inches wide, and are covered in high resistance rubber.

Server can be used by other AIs. (If it is hardwired then you bypass the hardwired bits...Most AIs are smart enough to know how to operate a computer)

If two AIs exist on the platform then the software form will (Until upgraded) take precedence. Since they can operate in any part of the computer's memory, while Tauros is mostly Hardware based. As such he can be firewalled within nanoseconds, while firewalling the software would take milliseconds.

Tauros can be transfered manually, but cannot be transfered electronically, due to its operating system being hardwired.

Wired ports are mostly archic, with only the USB (Clue is in the name) being of any practical use...in the majority of situations.***

The server weighs 1 Metric Tonne, the majority of this weight is the vast memory storage system designed for 50 years of continous storage of 8 senses.

The server cannot be pushed, stopped or otherwise moved easily.

The server therefore has four electric motors driving the four wheels.****

Memory saved in a specialist format to prevent memories being added, (Also prevents memories being sent out, as having a converter undermines the point), also allows for the rapid searching, since rolling many years of normal video would make the system effectively useless.* (Ultraviolet, Infrared and Radio are the additional senses. The Infrared and Ultraviolet are barely used since they cover only those wavelenghs directly next to visible light(unless upgraded) while Radio stores all 'in use' wavelenghs. This can be set to all, none or any combination in between. The setting defaults to noise cancellation after 20 seconds, and requires 5 seconds of recognisable sound before it begins recording (aka it won't record a single blimp, nor pulsars, though it can detect them, and be set to record them should the need arise)).

Coding abilities can be considered above average.

Power is derived from a Radioisotpe Thermoelectric Generator.**

A UBU, or Universal Battery Unit provides up to 48 hours power and can be recharged in any standard manner.

In addition the unit has 12 different types of power sockets.

Unit also features a Universal Mains Adapter, with various cables stowed in a compartment.

If it is turned off, or loses power, then a significant(read 10 seconds) amount of memory may be lost in the buffer before it is written to memory.

The unit also does not have a standby mode.

The unity cannot use power saving efficently, since its harddrives are in constant use writing data from the senses.

The need to record the first five senses is hardwired into the primary operating system (read Tauros), so cannot be shut off without additional AIs in the system.

 

Unit is two meters tall, by one and one half meters wide by one and one half meters deep.

Dust covers cover the myrid of sockets and slots, giving a cuboid appearence.

 

A single large recess is built into the main unit, fitting one standard issue android. This retro design cuts down on memory by over a third and is often cited as the reason why more of these units were not built. The recess is dust covered when not in use.

The server also has some 200 different ways of being linked to a wireless network, including an analogue radio transmitter, Bluetooth, WAN, LAN, semaphore flags in pop out holders, photoreceptors, power line communication algorithms, divining rods, an assortment of tea leaves and nephomancy (Information Delivered through Cloud Formation) systems.

In addition to this it has a special Quantum Entanglement connection to its Android. This link is only used to share a passkey between the two, allowing them to use traditional wireless networks to communicate.

This passkey is overrode by direct connection in the event that one or both the qubits were damaged.

 

*Take it or leave it. I am not over fussed, just my opinion.

**Produces 60 Watts, seems like enough power for a computer, without being the size of a house.

***Since Tauros has both female and male slots it can be considered either.

****Again, take it or leave it, just seems sensible.

 

 

Continuity:

The original Tauros was destroyed by a 13 kilometer straight drop, and trying to fit an apparently indestructable orb into his energy slot.

His memories were collected from a backup, and uploaded into one of the prototype units that was never put into active production, largely due to the horrific failings in the design.

Slated in the official report as 'As if it had been designed in the twentith century by a science fiction writer for use as the villian. It is on a par with Robot B-9 and Satan's Robot. This unit should never see the light of day.' Further adding 'It is possible, by looking at this machine, you are hacking it. By waving a flag, you are hacking it. By shining a torch, playing some music or turning on a light bulb...you are hacking it. This computer is possibly a bucket, missing its handle, sides and bottom and is, infact, a rope lowered into the well of knowledge and has, in the eyes of the user, come up with nothing.' Towards the end of the report the writer begins to get unkind, though maintains the same level of accuracy.

Tauros apparently disagreed when asked, and decided to take the unit.

 

 

 

 

 

If you have any changes you wish to make, please do so before Friday. I will make changes in return (for instance if you say it weighs 5 grams without changing anything else, I will change it back to 1 metric tonne.), and will make the final review on Friday, for all time. (Unless upgraded, obviously).

[Leiana]

O.O Tesela coil?

 

Lets just say, since I wasn't there at the begining of the session yesterday, me doing anything useful was an epic fail. And I kept disconecting after five seconds of doing nothing.

Brilliant job, Mather! Contradicting the GM- who is probably doing you a favour- and providing absolutely no justification other than presumably your personal wishes.

[The_Mather1]

Nex, I'm doing this so that there will be no more confusions such as last session where I suddenly was 9 inches tall and my reactor happened to be an ARC reactor instead of the implied fission reactor.

 

Also, Archi, by radioisotope thermoelectric generator you do mean fission reactor, right?

[Earth]

The GM is making it easy foir him, and he has final say in the matter. Let it lie, Mather, you have your parameters and this makes it less boring to watch the -uber AI- from doing wehatever he wants. Which he can't anyways.
