"My take on this situation from a CYOC rules perspective: Ninja could do his best to imitate known (and some HFPE, he has spies) TGE tech to the best of his abilities, with a delay of at least a decade or two between a new TGE technology being released and Atlantis copying it, unless it's something mundane."

The main problems with this are that all the technology he would be trying to copy is HFPE (Loki, Trickster, Alar, the Quantum Fortress, UBER Power, that sort of thing) in at the very least design, if not existence as well, and that I also honestly cannot see how he would get spies into my HFPE research centres.

I don't feel like detailing my full anti-spy secrecy procedures here, but suffice it to say I don't think a spy would be getting past even the first three pseudo-layers anytime soon, let alone the first main one (Wayne, that is not a challenge. I know you probably could).

Anyway. Irrelevant now since the project is stopped and the TGE is supporting Canada in the Winter Olympics.

I'm pretty sure for my countries age I am underpowered, mainly because of my lack of imagination but also because of how I like to think of my country. While the TGE tech is rather cool it wouldn't suit my country. A bit like how it wouldn't suit the federation to switch from phasers to warhammer 40k weaponry (power fists, bolters etc.)

^Requesting details, because what you have up right there is...

Let's just say it's defying my attempts to understand it. (I think I get the intent, but what I'm reading doesn't seem to jive with that.)

Unfortunately the original thread has since eaten the original post, but I'll do my best to explain.

A while ago I made a shield that would load all information in Atlantis onto a supercomputer, the multiple universes that Atlantis exists in would be loaded onto that computer. In the event of a major issue (enemy invasion) the data could either be opened from an older file, or transferred from one universe to the other.

What I'm doing now is modifying the system, so instead of waiting after the incident occurs, the AI will monitor all data on Atlantis and be able to remove unauthorized data, similar to an antivirus.

The supercomputer exists in a universe of its own, where it and a very tiny group of people have their data authorized on the system. You can only connect to the system through the supercomputer. Those people would be able to input commands authorizing new data (an allied fleet) into Atlantis.

I hope it makes a bit more sense.

There was no rule against it, I was curious to see if I'd be able to get away with it.

I put a lot into my military & science in general, and a minimal amount into culture, implying however that it was only subtly changing based on technology.

OOG @Ninja:

That's... That's very much like my UCT... But with less utility. More... Bureaucratic-style restrictions than the UCT in application. The UCT just freezes (Potentially destroying them, if they aren't well-protected.) the unauthorized entries, or creates an impenetrable field of protection. It takes a LOT of power to sustain, but it can easily be pulsed as needed.

Plus, I already know/understand how the TGE can get past it.

End OOG.

D Chip:

Voting for self: I agree with being able to do so. It makes it a full democratic process.
Suggestions to be codified: Double-posting portion is likely unnecessary. As far as I know, that hasn't been much of a problem for a long while.
Trade and currency standardizing: An interesting idea, but it should be approached with some caution & discussion. It could be very good or bad, depending on implementation.
Regarding the Void Rule: Again, a delicate situation. It will take a lot of discussion to get to an amenable resolution.
Attracting new players: How? Advertising seems a little... Off-base ; for lack of a better term.
Making multiple country lists: I don't understand what you mean by that. Please explain.

Now, a suggestion of my own:

The 'Happy Citizen' effect should remain in effect, aside from during times of war or other moderated situations. Those situations, due to the fact that it is not business as normal & moderation is present, the moderation should determine what the citizens do in response to the actions of any involved nation.

This seems reasonable to me.

The system will pick up any anomaly it finds. No matter what, anything that gets into Atlantis will have data regarding it loaded onto the system, which would immediately remove it. It's operated from encrypted universes that safeguards it all.

I understand you want to insult my ideas, and tell everyone how mine are inferior to yours, but honestly, I don't care.

From what I understand, the two systems are actually complete different.

Attacker, yours is basically an anti-teleport that does a few other things with space-time.

What Ninja is doing is making continuous back-ups of everything in his nation and storing them on a supercomputer. Anything that he backs up that shouldn't be there (like an invading fleet) is summarily removed from the back-up, so if/when that part of Atlantis needs to be restored, it is restored without the unauthorized objects being there.

Basically, it ensures that even in the event of Atlantis' total destruction in the CYOC universe, it is capable of being restored (how that restoration happens, or what devices he uses to restore it, I don't know, I'm not really clear on that part) as it was before its destruction in perfect condition from a copy in another universe.

Completely different systems that do completely different things.

Or, at least that's the way I see it based on what Wayne and Sith and I were discussing earlier. Correct me if I'm wrong, Ninja (or you, Wayne, or you, Sith, if I've fluffed up some part of how you were helping clarify it).

Picture the universe being a Minecraft world being run by a supercomputer. The computer autosaves the world's data regularly, and it can be reloaded at any time. Now it has an AI that will reload the save when needed.

I think that's a good way to explain it.

Welcome to DOJ news,

Project SpaceHole (Reusable and properly landable spacecraft capable of going through the wormhole to the Earth.), also allows minimal contact with earth colonies - COMPLETE! We are sending our first convoy through the wormhole this year, and they are off to risk their lives discovering what lies behind this mysterious space anomaly... Godspeed these brave people on their travels. By next year they will have returned and given us what they have discovered... Hopefully.

Project Black Hole (Deep study of black holes) - 50 years. - Interesting new discovery! It turns out, black holes actually share something in common with the wormhole! Black holes and wormholes are both, in fact, believed to be folds in space connecting two points, however wormholes are natural occurrences such as the stars. However, black holes are when these also natural stars collapse under their own weight, only instead of connecting two locations, black holes connect two times. This would potentially allow time travel, however the black hole prevents time from moving because, apparently, time speeds up in the lack of motion, but the increase of motion slows down time. The sheer immensity of gravity is pulling in light faster than the speed of light itself, for the gravitational pull plus its already existent speed becomes faster than that itself. Since speed of light is considered the fastest speed in the universe, time itself stops and rewinds in the black hole. There is also, due to the immense gravity, no escape and instead you empower the black hole with more condensed matter in an infinitely small point.

(I'm so good at making up BS lol)

Project Gullibility Removing (The name says it itself, no more scams are gonna work that well in our community. Long going war, being fought hard.) - 20 years.

In other news, Spodee followers have proposed construction of a building dedicated to him.

See you next time on DOJ news with Rusty Shackleford, the new age dawns! ^_^

- - - don’t liberally use gods in warfare (only in plots)

Would this also include things such as magic, spirits, etc?

For simplicity sake I'll file this under the "FTL" category of impossible ideas...

Is it sad that this is the funniest thing I've seen in a while? Because it is damn funny.
