An infinite set of numbers contains itself because it is itself, simple identity.

The statement is true because of the fact that it isn't necessarily self referencing , also liar paradox.

Good. Because while they were used in portal2, they are in fact far older than that. And I'm pretty sure the sphinx riddle was not in Portal2, because AIs can solve that one a variety of ways assuming a sufficiently large knowledgebase.

I'd still think the 4,2,3 legs riddle's answer is lego, caus you know I've could've build a lego figure/bonicles with 4 legs by the morning, and got bored by noon and remove 2 legs and finally by night add one leg make it sillyly(?) not symmetrical.

I'm aware, hence why I gave different answers after



So, theres roleplay?

I appreciate what some call "cooperative storytelling"
Well we have the now defunct (again) serious RP, and the anything-within-reason-goes semiserious RP

Aren't desynchronous and serious roleplays mutually exclusive?

If it's using a game master that master would have to be on a LOT.

Maybe I shall give the roleplay a try.

Lot of wasted effort sadly.

Then again I'd have no idea what to do.

Sure.
I'm personally a fan of the basic "if left is right and right is right, then what is right?" one. Basic and no wrong answers. Everything is right.

If this were entirely correct our member list would be a lot shorter. If we sort by last visit, as of today I'm pretty sure everyone from Teron (yes, that Teron) down, including Ryuu himself, would be gone from the list, losing around 3 pages of members.

odin means if an account registers but doesn't post at all within the first 90 days/only posts once or twice it gets deleted.
I just got asked if I wanted to donate my old legos to some 4 year old who I don't even know and I was just like.

Interesting setup.


a pretty cool concept with very few practical applications

On that note, any suggestions on 3D modeling software for 3D printers?

Thank you.

That is very nice! I presume these are the characters you're playing in the Semi-SRS RP?

Thanks and nope. I considered introducing him into the SMSRSRP for a while but decided I'm gonna have more than enough characters as-is.

SW lasers fire a plasma bolt, condensed (is that the right term?) in the weapon from tibanna gas. A turbolaser can fire anywhere between 10 to 500 shots, depending on power, size, etc.

(04-28-2016, 04:02 PM)OdinYggd Wrote: [ -> ]I was just going to say, real world battleships are often displaced visibly when firing more than one gun at a time. There's pictures of this about.

Naval ships usually mount triple guns for complexity and firing rate reasons, since the turret mechanism to rotate the gun for aiming is complex and heavy.

Turbolasers on the other hand would be a lot more energy intensive when firing, and fire at a much higher rate than projectile weapons do. Much of the advantage of a triple gun is lost, so the mechanism becomes smaller and lighter mounting a single turbolaser instead of a triple.

And now that I think about it, that's a glaring issue in Pirates of the Caribbean. When those ships fired a full broadside, there should have been visible displacement in the water beneath from the entire ship being shoved back by the blast.
what about non energy, kinetic projectile, like massive railguns? I'm sure these would work on massive multi gun turrets
Yup. It would have to be centrally mounted, but that would work. In fact, I believe there is a ship like that in Legends canon somewhere.

(04-28-2016, 05:24 PM)OdinYggd Wrote: [ -> ]They'd have a significant recoil too. Newton's third law. Most of the depictions I've seen of railguns describe them as slow firing but dealing massive damage with each shot. I would expect a lot of that reload time is letting the driver circuitry cool down and recharge.

If I recall correctly, there's a weapon in Elite(dangerous?I only remember the old dos one) that shoots "heat sinks" at the enemy, maybe that could be a useful secondary for the railgun starship
Erm. No. You can launch heatsinks which quickly reduce ship heat, and also light up as a sensor contact, which missiles will lock onto.

Ah, I assumed each canister was good for a single shot due to the power levels involved.
