Omniverse One

Er, sorry, but my nation (if approved, which I'm not sure about) would control the OTL US, Canada and Mexico on the map. Some of us might be inclined to occupy my territory if you are going take that much... Though for certain, mine has a high degree of industrialization, with maybe a few underwate...

http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd5/Heretic501/MAP.png You're a life saver, Booted Vulture! Thanks. Anyway, my lands are in purple but I don't know who should claim Honshu. Maybe it's a contested area filled with old battlegrounds and secret fortresses? I am willing to lose half of Honshu really...

The problem with the map is that the Kyushu looks as if it is mated to Honshu.

Maybe the southern most island can be enlarged a fair bit?

I'm not sure how much Heretic claims of Japan, but here's my bit:



Pardon the lousy drawing. My attempts to coax Photoshop or Illustrator to do my bidding was a failure.

Hehehe... This is going to be interesting... Who wants to take up China? I will likely be occupying a portion of the area above it, pressing towards some of the frosty parts of Siberia. I only require certain parts of China (specifically, the provinces of Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Hunan, Jiangxi,...

Well, I can use just about anything. (It's just a rough guide)

Alright, here's my own play (though I admit I shameless ripped the Japanese Anime Last Exile for much of the inspiration): Dai Nippon Teikoku http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb2/elessar35/vlcsnap-2012-07-02-21h16m25s188.png Empress "Shinigami" Sadako The post-futuristic Japan, it is rul...

Well if it is in the real world, I'm content with only having the Kyushu prefecture if Finolfgin is okay with me having part of Japan. Dude, we could create multiple Japans.. No one is going to be picky about it. As Langley pointed out, there have been multiple spins on the same country in previous...

I can almost imagine myself doing the following headline:

Our Fearless Troops Prevail over the Gaijin!

When in actual truth, it was such a Pyrrhic victory because half the army was taken out when a lone Vietcong managed to kamikaze and release the nuke he was carrying.

I think at the base level, we expect some kind of mutual balancing of everything. THis game isn't really about power gaming but rather doing whatever what we feel like doing, i.e. letting the creative juices run free rather than getting bogged down by an endless litany of rules. For example, I was t...

Hi all, Siege and I have been discussing and we have been thinking of a possible planetary wide setting where there are many nations/factions and people would manage the various nations/factions. One possible setting we discussed was a scenario where there are nations and factions where there's a ce...

I made some changes, and coined the term "Omnivian".

Because it's neither exactly the Byzantine Imperium nor the Holy Empire of Haruhii. And the Byzantine Imperium was conceived as, well, the IoM from 40k but with Greek names. We're taking some of the basic ideas of these things, like patriarchial demigod supreme leader of xenophobic intolerant fanat...

All this bit of the Emperor growing from a vat or whatever is rather far from how I conceived the Byzantine Imperium...

Here's an idea wrt machine procreation: self-replication. But not like in dreary nanotech or anything. No, these Great Machines start their life as strange, sudden, and practically imperceptible fluctuations in the quantum foam, the seething froth of wormholes and tiny black holes a hundred billion...

How fantastical and mystic does it have to be? It's not as if real life itself is fantastical and mystical.

Well, one idea I have is that the Sparks are randomly produced by the AllSpark and then they travel far and wide until they find a body and environment they like. Doesn't have to be in machine space but yeah.

Shroom Man 777 wrote:It should be something different from two robots just sticking plugs at each other to create a smaller baby robot.

Technically, the idea was the two sparks gather in the same chamber, merge, and then separate and produce a third spark. But I'm open to other ideas.

Siege suggested I keep the Spark creation tad ambiguous at the moment. A part of me wants it to be somewhat definite, a part of me doesn't. I will leave the thought in the keep in view folder for now.

Sorry for being tad technical at some point. The Physicist in me started talking and I had to find some way to placate it.

So Siege and I were talking about a potential new SDNW game we and Shroom and maybe Shady and PeZook would be working on. I decided that it was high time to leave the "Byzantine" schtick and try something new. So here it goes... The Machine Race Brief Overview The Machine Race is a race of...
