Does anyone know the proportion of real time to in-game time that we're using?

1 game year = 1 real month. It's in the Reference Thread.

Well, if you really want supercomputers, it's not as if some of the other nations, such as mine, don't have them. (not as well publicised only)

I just looked in the reference thread and saw it for myself. Thanks anyway.

It's for data processing, so it can be done anywhere

Our unmanned probes will be collecting a crapload of data, so we'll need to organize and analyze them.

Well...for example, making lunar boots, or cameras or radiation-proof lunchboxes

Most of my high performance computing is done at the High Energy Institute as they have been getting ready for the data processing to be done when Bear's Supercollider is completed (And I mean able to handle petabytes of data).

I guess since right now, they are doing nothing but simulating possible experiments, they have spare computing power available.

Hrm... maybe we could continue Paul and Shroom's conversation. Or continue it when Shroom goes to PeZookia.

Do we have any pressing issues to discuss? I mean, aside from going to the moon.

Stas:

Mang, Crossroadia is now in the FUN.

And... does Coiler have a spot in the map? Did he post his nation's map?

Say Shroom, perhaps we should indulge a little in the cultist arc.

I think we'll talk more during the visit.

There's Indophal's FUN application. I'm inclined to agree, since I owe him a favor for bringing in that rogue RIS officer.

I will have to post something about their eventual fate. Damn...

BTW:

Brave FUN astronauts training in the Soyuz TMA simulator

I indeed have picked out a spot on the map.

It's the little red shape in the Central Sea

Fingolfin, you do realize that this means holy war!

I shall indulge in REVENGEMENT tomorrow!

Know that the JENOVA'S WITNESSES originated in Shinra. But they are EVERYWHERE.

The Crusaders of St John will be ready for the coming trial, and they have hidden backers.

You have swords and guns.

We have swordguns

PeZook · Post by **PeZook** » 2008-06-15 01:18pm

So...these guys are like gangs, but with swords?

I may have a solution for that little problem.

EDIT: OHMYGOD I've missed the announcement! My Migs are here! WOOOOHOOO!!!!

We have energised swords and hammers and pistols for close quarter fighting, with armor and shields to boot. (Note, the voltage is good for one blow)

We just haven't carted out all the weapons we can possibly muster.

And let's just say, some of the retired Varangian guards are leaders of this sect.

Actually, they look like medieval knights, with armour of kevlar and ceramic, and they carry guns and swords/hammers. All blessed with holy water of course.

Worse case they bring out shotguns with shorter barrels for close quarter fighting.

My cultists can perform obscene acts of pseudo-aeronautical jiu-jitsu while riding crazyfast cyberpunk bikes. Hah

Jeez dude. Don't make the knights cart out more weapons than required. But ah heck. Let's have some fun.

You can always joust them with your own Holy Harleys

YES

Tomorrow I shall post the Jenova's Witnesses ruining Constantinople's shit before the Grey Knights ruin their shit as well.

HAY! PeZook, want your Mig pilots trained by the Shroomanian TOP GUN institute?

Sure!

But they're probably a bit conservative, seeing as they come from PeZookia and all, so not much beach volleyball for your guys

It's actually delicious stuff for some existentially pseudophilosophical stuff. What do you do when you know your world is not real? That your world has been created by a being that cares not for you, that the reality and the memories of the past you perceived are all false?

Would you take the red pill, or the blue pill?

Would you fight the system? The Agents are the gatekeepers, but the masters of this world are the ones we call 'President' or 'Your Highness'.

To be free, we must destroy these programs!

We must find...

The One

Except that this world is real, so "fighting the system" like Neo did would mean getting tasered, dragged to court, tried and executed

No "bending the rules" to avoid bullets here, it's just your memories which are false

OK, it's time for the Shinra Republic to deal with this JENOVA shit. We've hired some local talent to do the job:

Game over.

What about the Hubbologists?

Hey they now have M.I.B.'s you know the kind that stand out like a sore thumb, and are so wired on hypnosis, steriods, and stimulants that they are slightly physcically superhuman, but kinda stupid.
