Author Topic:   RP: A grand project for all factions.

God Emperor Eccles V posted 04-22-99 03:36 PM ET
First of all I would like to ask that we all start being friends and not bicker about science. I will ask for an ammendment to the RP Charter that does not allow science that is below SMAC'S 'Hardness' Scale. SMAC is 7 Battlestar Galactica being 1. The RP council would vote on major breakthroughs. (not minor science). Hows does that sound?
Anyway onto my main topic
I have always admired Venus, with its fluorosulphuric acid clouds and it's molten lead temperatures. That planet has a savage beauty to it.
I propose that 5 factions (and myself) terraform Venus, so that we can breath on its surface. We would turn it into a peaceful research Colony. I have the details if anybody wants to sign up. (it involves biological conversion).
The cost for this is quite considerable, that is why I want your help. A 30C Venus would be a monument to peace and friendship. If we win the war we will commence terraforming. If interest is shown I will give the details. If no interest is shown, I will go it alone.

President Korian posted 04-22-99 03:41 PM ET
My faction would be more than willing to set up a colony on Venus and to help you terraform it.

First off, Eccles, I'd like to thank you for your statement about arguing. I admit there are people here who know a lot more about science than I do. But that doesn't mean we should get into a thirty post arguement about some sub-quantum definition when I try to make up a weapon or something. Anyway, back to the actual point of this thread.
IC
My Faction would be most glad to help with this noble project. Unfortunatly, we cannot offer any help until the war with the Acheans is over. When it is, I will start terraforming right away.
God Emperor Eccles V posted 04-22-99 05:45 PM ET
Lovely.
Korian, we would not need to build bases in the 92Bar, acidic surface of Venus. Bases will be in place after the tertiary phase. (I will explain later).
JT 3 posted 04-22-99 05:48 PM ET
Shouldn't we at least set up some minor outposts before the start of the project? Kind of like a starting place for terraformers?
sarummaine posted 04-22-99 05:56 PM ET
Eccles,
why colonize Venus together when we are fighting over the riches of Planet? It would just open a second battle front, as somebody, probably a Spartan or Hive Member would go for power.

The Hercluxian Republic wishes to aid you, Eccles, in this historic endeavor. It would give us more insite about the Sol system, and maybe blend terraforming techniques that our races have learned over the years.

Q Cubed posted 04-22-99 06:22 PM ET
I shall join on the following conditions:
In exchange for my assitance on this terraforming, I would like to ask this:
After the terraforming is complete, I would like approximately 200 square kilometers, and extra land area to construct a space elevator.
I am prepared to release data files regarding some terraforming techniques we have discovered and acquired.
Ambassador Collins posted 04-22-99 08:10 PM ET
The BrotherHood is willing to help in this cause. We will donate all labourers and supplies you need.

Never mind. I did not read his other post. Sorry.
Xuenay posted 04-23-99 05:32 AM ET
The Sotala Force would like to join this project.
God Emperor Eccles V posted 04-24-99 01:29 PM ET
All except Collins are welcome. But no more!
We will not need any outposts to start with.
The Atmosphere of Venus contains the following:
90% CO2
2% Sulphuric Acid
1% Fluorine (in the form fluorosulphuric acid)
2% Water
4% Nitrogen
1% Trace elements
The plan is basically too:
1/ Seed the atmosphere at 50km up. (the temperature there is 30C and pressure is 1.4 bars. Bacteria that I have modified in my germ warfare department (cyandium caladrium) will move on the currents converting carbon dioxide into oxygen, as plants do. These are resilent to fluorosulphuric acid.
2/ Pressure would be lost, therefore temperature, in the upper atmosphere, and oxygen would sink, along with condensed water and bacteria. A new bacterium would be introduced (I need help on this one). That would take the oxygen from the acid in the sky and make sulphur and Flourine, which
would then form react to form a proto-ozone layer.
3/ With the acid gone and the upper atmosphere cooled and sinking, rain will fall for the first time on Venus, it will not touch the ground, but it will cool the lower atmosphere and let the bacteria reduce pressure.
4/ Rain would fall and average temperature would be 30C. Pressure would be 1.2 bar, final constituents of the new atmosphere:
16% CO2 (not toxic)
40% Nitrogen
4% Water vapour
40% Oxygen
Perfectly habitable!

Chancellor AoYoS posted 04-24-99 05:21 PM ET
Only one problem Eccles. My race does not breathe oxygen. We breathe nitrogen. I feel that we should increase the levels of nitrogen in the atmosphere, along with increasing the amount of oxygen. Other than that the proposal gets approval by the Combine.
Chancellor AoYoS
Chancellor AoYoS posted 04-24-99 05:23 PM ET
I believe that we should increase the nitrogen 4% and decrease the CO2 4%.
This would make it easier for us to withstand the air on Venus.
Chancellor AoYoS
JT 3 posted 04-24-99 06:15 PM ET
I will send a group of formers to start planting forests once the conversion is complete.
God Emperor Eccles V posted 04-24-99 06:27 PM ET
Sorry AoYoSS but adding nitrogen would be virtually impossible. (The nitrogen in the soil and atmosphere is released anyway). It would have to be imported, as no biological process could spread the nitrogen properly(due to its preference for the lithiosphere). Either a planet is born with nitrogen, like earth, or not.
Importing millions of tonnes of Nitrogen would also pointless. (the cost, the deployment, where from?). Besides you must be inefficent to have to have 44% nitrogen. Humans are ok with a lowly 19% Oxygen. (normal tolerances).
What I could do is raise the pressure to 1.5 bar which would compensate, but might cause more ready fires due to the extra retained oxygen.
JT 3 posted 04-24-99 06:47 PM ET
Actually, we could artificially create the nitrogen aboard ships orbiting Venus.
God Emperor Eccles V posted 04-24-99 06:56 PM ET
As I said it would sink to the lithiosphere and cause tempary growth in the plants, but cause storms and eventual depeation.
Chancellor AoYoS posted 04-24-99 07:04 PM ET
Please do that Eccles as my race can not stay in an atmostphere with less than 44% nitrogen.
I could always build contained environments but that defeats the whole purpose.
God Emperor Eccles V posted 04-24-99 07:11 PM ET
Ok, due to the long peace we can start stage one. I will need you joint efforts later on. This is a shared research base, and will include the strengths of all our contructions, no allocations of land, this is a multi-national base.
JT 3 posted 04-24-99 07:30 PM ET
Well, if we could implement a gas that would keep the lithosphere up, then we could import the nitrogen.
JT 3 posted 04-24-99 08:00 PM ET
What's so bad about plants? And we can easily control storms. If we can have interstellar travel, we can easily control some storm.
God Emperor Eccles V posted 04-25-99 07:53 AM ET
Storms are bad for the Biological cycle of Venus, controling the storms destroys our self sufficency on Venus.

(Trust me I know about this, future science would be sod all help to an ecosystem).
JT 3 posted 04-25-99 10:53 AM ET
Hmmm.... I haven't been studying this project as long as you have, so I'll take your word for it.
JT 3 posted 04-26-99 01:46 PM ET
I have found a way. If we import the four percent nitrogen, we also import four percent helium. This will keep everything equal and is perfectly normal.
Ambassador Collins posted 04-26-99 03:17 PM ET
How dare you exclude The BrotherHood from this! This thread is called "A grand project for all factions." The keyword is ALL factions. What could be possible do that would negitivly affect this project? The chief concern of The BrotherHood is science!
Chancellor AoYoS posted 04-26-99 06:06 PM ET
Note Collins, that this is Eccles decision. I would consider talking to him on this matter.
Chancellor AoYoS
JT 3 posted 04-26-99 06:29 PM ET
I think the Brotherhood should be allowed to join.
Ambassador Collins posted 04-26-99 07:37 PM ET
AoYoS:
I meant to address that post to Eccles. Please forgive my oversight.
Chancellor AoYoS posted 04-26-99 07:39 PM ET
You are forgiven Ambassador.
I propose that we let the Brotherhood help us in this endeavor.
Chancellor AoYoS
JT 3 posted 04-26-99 07:39 PM ET
Thanks for clearing that up.
JT 3 posted 04-26-99 07:39 PM ET
Thanks for clearing that up.
I was getting very confused.
God Emperor Eccles V posted 04-27-99 03:55 PM ET
Sorry full up.
But if you can name the highest peak on Venus I will kick out another faction.
you have until TUE 8:00pm
God Emperor Eccles V posted 04-27-99 04:03 PM ET
I speak to you via a live video feed from Venuses surface.
No, the Terraforming has only just started, but I wanted to show to you the savage beauty of this place.
I am aware that I am not wearing a space-suit. God Emperor's have their advantages.
Look at the yellowed clouds, and the air that ripples under such great pressure. The winds in the lower atmosphere are quite calm.
To prove to you that I am on Venus I will test out my drone.
(he pulls a drone out of his suit)
(the drone visibly crumples, and hisses)
E: that is how dangerous it is to have a base here, let us await a lowering of pressure.
JT 3 posted 04-27-99 04:29 PM ET
Ummm..... I think I'll be doing what Eccles says from now on. Scary pressure there.
President Korian posted 04-27-99 04:44 PM ET
My faction is pulling out of this project. With the resources we would have put in, we could have colonized 3 or 4 more hospitable planets.
Chancellor AoYoS posted 04-27-99 04:56 PM ET
As you see, my rqce evolved on a high pressure planet and could withstand the Venusian pressure.
Chancellor AoYoS
JT 3 posted 04-27-99 05:45 PM ET
Okay, I guess Collins is in. Korian, remember, this is a peaceful project, and any of your bases there wouldn't be attacked if you were in war. But, I guess it's your loss.
President Korian posted 04-27-99 05:51 PM ET
That has absolutely nothing to do with what I just said. I don't want to do this because I could easily start 3 or 4 colonies with the resources I would have to use to terraform Venus.
JT 3 posted 04-27-99 05:58 PM ET
I know, but those colonies _can_ be attacked and captured, while these couldn't.
Anyway, you dropped out, so let's stop with the fighting.
President Korian posted 04-27-99 07:51 PM ET
Yes, actually they could be captured.
JT 3 posted 04-27-99 07:53 PM ET
If someone wanted to have instant war with all the Factions with bases on Venus, yes they could be captured.
Ambassador Collins posted 04-27-99 08:51 PM ET
The highest point on Venus is Maxwell Montes, at a hight of over 11 km.
JT 3 posted 04-27-99 09:00 PM ET
JT3(in game show host voice): That is correct! Johnny, tell him what he's won!
Johnny: Ambassador Collins, you have just won a no-expenses paid trip to Venus! There, you will be allowed to set up some research bases in cooperation with the other Factions!
JT3: For all the other contestants, we have some lovely parting gifts. Thank you for playing, here on WHEEL OF TRIVIA!!!!
OOC: I just love doing this.
PS/OOC: I do not know wether that is correct or not, since I have not looked it up. If it is wrong, this post will not count as anything.
Ambassador Collins posted 04-28-99 01:57 PM ET
God Emperor Eccles V:
Since Korian left the project, that would open up a space for me to join without necessitating kicking someone out.
God Emperor Eccles V posted 04-28-99 02:55 PM ET
Ok Collins your in, with no rejections, phase one is underway.
God Emperor Eccles V posted 04-28-99 03:21 PM ET
I need some help blowing some holes in the lower atmosphere. This would enable the project to be finished within 100 years rather than 8,000. This could be acheived by a massively shortlived singularity, taking in atmosphere, but I will need your help AoYoSS, as only me and your species can survive the pressure. (how do you cope?, I am interested).
Chancellor AoYoS posted 04-28-99 05:22 PM ET
I am dispatching help right now Eccles.
We are able to survive because we evolved on a high-gravity world. Our world's gravity is equal to the gravity on Saturn.
Chancellor AoYoS
Ambassador Collins posted 04-28-99 06:50 PM ET
AoYoS:
You are lucky that scientific bickering is prohibited, because if it was not I could flame the hell out or your last post!
Chancellor AoYoS posted 04-28-99 06:56 PM ET
I should have gave a better example than that. The world we evolved on has 31.9 gravity units. Our atmosphere is much like Venus', except in the fact that it has much more nitrogen than oxygen and the pressure exerted by our moons is equally that of the Chironian moons.
Sorry for the Confusion.

Chancellor AoYoS
God Emperor Eccles V posted 04-29-99 03:14 PM ET
Saturn does not have massive gravity . scientific arguements are not disallowed. But no flaming.
Ok, if anybody needs me I will be roaming Venus by foot, enjoying watching the savage hellish planet.
(come to think of it, Venus could be my lair, as I am dark and evil also!)
JT 3 posted 04-29-99 10:00 PM ET
You know, Eccles, posting how evil you are does not make the other Factions like you better.
Ambassador Collins posted 04-29-99 10:31 PM ET
JT3:
I wouldn't give advice on how to be popular. It's like a blind man trying to teach what the colors are.
JT 3 posted 04-30-99 01:24 PM ET
You mean you like him _more_ for his his atrocities?
Ambassador Collins posted 04-30-99 05:18 PM ET
I did not mean that I liked God Emperor Eccles V's atrocities. I meant that you giving advice on how to be popular is like The Pope giving advice on how to have a great s** life, or asking Oprah how to lose weight and keep it off. Stop thinking you�re all that, because you are very annoying when you do!
P.S. You�re redneck jokes in the Non-SMAC forumn were NOT funny.
JT 3 posted 04-30-99 05:58 PM ET
Well, the no OOC flaming rule was nice while it lasted.
Yes, I know, I'm so not popular because I don't know all my sub-quantum definitions yetand occasionally try to win a war.
I wasn't trying to make them funny. I wanted to give other people a general idea and let them give _me_ funny ones.
Well, I've had all the OOC flaming I can stand for one day. Maybe someone should make a thread for all the bashing that goes on and the people who don't want to read this crap in the middle of a RP thread won't have to.
Ambassador Collins posted 04-30-99 09:49 PM ET
JT3:
What do you want to be when you grow up?
JT 3 posted 04-30-99 09:52 PM ET
AAAUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! THIS IS INSANE! COULD WE _PLEASE_ GET BACK TO THE TOPIC HERE?!?!
Collins, I am not answering that question, as you will probably find something bad in it, and then flame me to death. I am sick of all this flaming.
Ambassador Collins posted 04-30-99 10:02 PM ET
I did not want to flame you, I was just curious as to the vocational preference of someone with your personality. You see psychology is one of my greatest interests; I have read many of Freud's book's several times. Once again, I do not want to flame you.
JT 3 posted 04-30-99 10:08 PM ET
Okay, well then... hmmmm..... I have never quite been able to answer this question, but my top choices are:
Doctor(don't know which kind yet)
NBA(I play a _lot_ of basketball)
High-ranking army position(one where the strategy of the war is decided)
Architect
All I can think of that I like right now...
God Emperor Eccles V posted 05-01-99 07:14 PM ET
I think my atrocities make my character more interesting. Very few people follow the despotic, mood-swinging pattern.
I am starting to despise the new members that join saying "We respect the rights of the individual and hold democracy.." and all that SH1T. It is just so repetitive. I can cope, but that was a individual OOC rant.

Besides being evil means that I have to think up new atrocites that I have committed

JT 3	posted 04-27-99 05:45 PM ET Okay, I guess Collins is in. Korian, remember, this is a peaceful project, and any of your bases there wouldn't be attacked if you were in war. But, I guess it's your loss.
President Korian	posted 04-27-99 05:51 PM ET That has absolutely nothing to do with what I just said. I don't want to do this because I could easily start 3 or 4 colonies with the resources I would have to use to terraform Venus.
JT 3	posted 04-27-99 05:58 PM ET I know, but those colonies _can_ be attacked and captured, while these couldn't. Anyway, you dropped out, so let's stop with the fighting.
President Korian	posted 04-27-99 07:51 PM ET Yes, actually they could be captured.
JT 3	posted 04-27-99 07:53 PM ET If someone wanted to have instant war with all the Factions with bases on Venus, yes they could be captured.
Ambassador Collins	posted 04-27-99 08:51 PM ET The highest point on Venus is Maxwell Montes, at a hight of over 11 km.
JT 3	posted 04-27-99 09:00 PM ET JT3(in game show host voice): That is correct! Johnny, tell him what he's won! Johnny: Ambassador Collins, you have just won a no-expenses paid trip to Venus! There, you will be allowed to set up some research bases in cooperation with the other Factions! JT3: For all the other contestants, we have some lovely parting gifts. Thank you for playing, here on WHEEL OF TRIVIA!!!! OOC: I just love doing this. PS/OOC: I do not know wether that is correct or not, since I have not looked it up. If it is wrong, this post will not count as anything.
Ambassador Collins	posted 04-28-99 01:57 PM ET God Emperor Eccles V: Since Korian left the project, that would open up a space for me to join without necessitating kicking someone out.
God Emperor Eccles V	posted 04-28-99 02:55 PM ET Ok Collins your in, with no rejections, phase one is underway.
God Emperor Eccles V	posted 04-28-99 03:21 PM ET I need some help blowing some holes in the lower atmosphere. This would enable the project to be finished within 100 years rather than 8,000. This could be acheived by a massively shortlived singularity, taking in atmosphere, but I will need your help AoYoSS, as only me and your species can survive the pressure. (how do you cope?, I am interested).
Chancellor AoYoS	posted 04-28-99 05:22 PM ET I am dispatching help right now Eccles. We are able to survive because we evolved on a high-gravity world. Our world's gravity is equal to the gravity on Saturn. Chancellor AoYoS
Ambassador Collins	posted 04-28-99 06:50 PM ET AoYoS: You are lucky that scientific bickering is prohibited, because if it was not I could flame the hell out or your last post!
Chancellor AoYoS	posted 04-28-99 06:56 PM ET I should have gave a better example than that. The world we evolved on has 31.9 gravity units. Our atmosphere is much like Venus', except in the fact that it has much more nitrogen than oxygen and the pressure exerted by our moons is equally that of the Chironian moons. Sorry for the Confusion. Chancellor AoYoS
God Emperor Eccles V	posted 04-29-99 03:14 PM ET Saturn does not have massive gravity . scientific arguements are not disallowed. But no flaming. Ok, if anybody needs me I will be roaming Venus by foot, enjoying watching the savage hellish planet. (come to think of it, Venus could be my lair, as I am dark and evil also!)
JT 3	posted 04-29-99 10:00 PM ET You know, Eccles, posting how evil you are does not make the other Factions like you better.
Ambassador Collins	posted 04-29-99 10:31 PM ET JT3: I wouldn't give advice on how to be popular. It's like a blind man trying to teach what the colors are.
JT 3	posted 04-30-99 01:24 PM ET You mean you like him _more_ for his his atrocities?
Ambassador Collins	posted 04-30-99 05:18 PM ET I did not mean that I liked God Emperor Eccles V's atrocities. I meant that you giving advice on how to be popular is like The Pope giving advice on how to have a great s** life, or asking Oprah how to lose weight and keep it off. Stop thinking you�re all that, because you are very annoying when you do! P.S. You�re redneck jokes in the Non-SMAC forumn were NOT funny.
JT 3	posted 04-30-99 05:58 PM ET Well, the no OOC flaming rule was nice while it lasted. Yes, I know, I'm so not popular because I don't know all my sub-quantum definitions yetand occasionally try to win a war. I wasn't trying to make them funny. I wanted to give other people a general idea and let them give _me_ funny ones. Well, I've had all the OOC flaming I can stand for one day. Maybe someone should make a thread for all the bashing that goes on and the people who don't want to read this crap in the middle of a RP thread won't have to.
Ambassador Collins	posted 04-30-99 09:49 PM ET JT3: What do you want to be when you grow up?
JT 3	posted 04-30-99 09:52 PM ET AAAUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! THIS IS INSANE! COULD WE _PLEASE_ GET BACK TO THE TOPIC HERE?!?! Collins, I am not answering that question, as you will probably find something bad in it, and then flame me to death. I am sick of all this flaming.
Ambassador Collins	posted 04-30-99 10:02 PM ET I did not want to flame you, I was just curious as to the vocational preference of someone with your personality. You see psychology is one of my greatest interests; I have read many of Freud's book's several times. Once again, I do not want to flame you.
JT 3	posted 04-30-99 10:08 PM ET Okay, well then... hmmmm..... I have never quite been able to answer this question, but my top choices are: Doctor(don't know which kind yet) NBA(I play a _lot_ of basketball) High-ranking army position(one where the strategy of the war is decided) Architect All I can think of that I like right now...
God Emperor Eccles V	posted 05-01-99 07:14 PM ET I think my atrocities make my character more interesting. Very few people follow the despotic, mood-swinging pattern. I am starting to despise the new members that join saying "We respect the rights of the individual and hold democracy.." and all that SH1T. It is just so repetitive. I can cope, but that was a individual OOC rant. Besides being evil means that I have to think up new atrocites that I have committed
