I feel sad. Me no gots no TA...
[quote]what seems to be your personal idea about light and gravity is not a good theory. I like a good debate Firebender please show some proof if there is any. [/quote] Here's your proof: Quote from wikipedia: [quote]There are several ways of describing the situation that causes escape to be impossible. The difference between these descriptions is how space and time coordinates are drawn on spacetime (the choice
Please note that in your submissions you must mention: Race Character Score Years Victory type Difficulty Since we're not breaking ties submission time is not nessesary.
Cool story.
Wow! Cool. You actually got me excited.
[quote]why can you not go back in time and kill your younger self[/quote] Einstein said time travel isn't possible. And as I said in the [link="https://forums.galciv2.com/?forumid=346&aid=160212"]sorry but the game story has it wrong about Stargate's[/link] thread, FTL isn't possible either. Till so far in that thread the only credible piece of resistance offered in the subject was on the topic of light being not totally without mass because it is effected by black holes. <br/
[quote]"getting it over with". [/quote] I only said that because we were argueing over whether to have a vote or not. And the ammount of discussion that went into the argument of having a vote or not was almost the same as the actual topic for the vote itself whose sole purpose was to esperiment with how effective a league-wide vote would be. Its pure logic. [quote]I also most likely will be changing my MVL character to join the e
[quote]I do want to forewarn folks that this is not something that can be resolved quickly and easily and it will take folks that are willing to put in a little bit of effort to reach a good solution that we can be proud of and that pretty much everyone agrees on. All too often the attitude that I’ve seen in the League is one of "let’s hurry up and get this over with". If that’s the attitude of most folks then we probably shouldn’t even bother. If so then perhaps I should resurrect the corpses o
You, my dear friend, have a talent. I'd imagine you used to get A+s for your essays. Keep up the great work. Your originality and way of expression in your writings are commendable.
Just bumping this thread for the benefit of any reader that hasn't had the pleasure of reading this yet. Its one of the best AARs ever. Seriously, READ IT!
[quote]i believe FB was referring to me,[/quote] Bingo.
Guess who has a 15K 3 year game ready?
[quote] Btw, no one may militarize space. International law. International law is a paper tiger. The U.S. and other governments have looked into weapons based on Satelites, even if some or all of them dont have them. A pox on international law. [/quote] [I]Looked [/I] into. When they actually do it. Tell us.
[quote]question. are we or are we not playing with the "fastest average league submission time" team bonus this round, or no? [/quote] Yes.
[quote]something i have heard is that if you could become completely motionless the universe would be gone in a second. [/quote] Probably since you're not interacting with [I]anything[/I], it would be a period of time infinately short. [quote]Perhaps this is only more proof that one simply can't reach absolute zero; to do so would be self-annihilation.[/quote] Not nessesarily. There is no law of Physics that says motion represents existence(which I've heard of anyway)
Ok, better graphics is all we need. Maybe a better "Planetary Invasions are an Immense undertaking" video. Oh, and I stand corrected.
[quote]Wow. I seriously, seriously enjoyed this story. Just... wow. [/quote] Who didn't?
As I've said before, awesome work! This thread should diffinately be pinned in the AAR section. "A complete AAR guide". I first saw this thread when it had only 9 AARs listed.
[quote]On the subject of a hyperdrive engine works like a stargate, you may have missed a point. A hyperdrive only bends spacetime around the ship, creating the tunnel so to speak. Effectively the steep hill example was correct in that inside the tunnel the ship still relies on both types of propulsion for travel, and therefore limited to available power. With 2 stargates this power input is much greater, or GC to SG difference in it is the SG stargates demolecularize the matter and then transmi
When you said "detailed" you weren't kidding! Score? Really great job, btw. I would never be able to muster up the patience for writing something like this. I've done 3 suicidals victories too but with nowhere near the efficiency you manage to have.
[quote]these guys wouldn't have cared about ftl if they didn't age.[/quote] Yes, but your surroundings often require speed. And they did age, apparently but very slowly. I think it was the Arnor who aged but slowly and the Dread Lords, who were almost like the mithrilar, aged but ultra-slow like. That other story is not the story of the game. It is just a story. Brad never said that that is how it was supposed to have happened.
[quote] What irritates me is only when I research an anti-Dread Lord super ship and then I'm back to Plasma weapons.[/quote] I've come upto the "Apocalypse" mission in the DL with no mission lost yet on Painful but moved upto Crippling recently. One thing I've learned is that you don't have to match the Dread Lord firepower or to level your defences against their attack. I can get to Advanced Miniaturization, Medium hulls, Phasor V, Enhanced Logistics, Warp Drive, etc by m
