Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
Er... Yeah... A bullet of antimatter? That's gonna instakill the target, the user and everyone within a fairly large vicinity. Likely including the entirety of Marciano's tower.

... I may have misread, but if you're equating antimatter with magic... er... not entirely accurate there. Pretty sure antimatter is sciency as heck.
Let's be honest here, okay? Antimatter is a dumb butt and it messes up plots by existing.

Er... Noodle? Antimatter isn't magic. It's a scientific thing. Wikipedia has an article, if you want to learn more.

Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
I believe the line about Marty and his resistance to magic is referring to the scene in MURDER, which RB and BoO were just discussing.

Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
Ah. Well still, antimatter the size of a bullet is not "Small and controlled" it's large enough to take out a few city blocks. Just so you're aware.

Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
Antimatter is like drugs.
Don't do it.
Make bullets out of ant matter instead.

I believe Pat (wolfbane's character) have already done that. :smalltongue:

Deadtime now. Goodnight, sleep tight and avoid the Fachen.
Ghar, Morty and BR, could you please post for Natalie's party in Random Places & Plots? Thank you.

Ah...sorry. Didn't do much research into that, just make it a normal bullet. Sorry, didn't realize that even a tiny bit was so powerful. :smalleek:

Pat's a she. :smalltongue:

Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
Pat no longer has a gender other than Best.
All pronouns are now Best rather than he/she/boat (I am a boat)/it/etc.
Seriously, ant bullets. That and that novel Flatland used up the only original ideas left.

Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
Just a quick notice, but I ain't gonna be posting much today. RL keeps insisting I acknowledge it's existence.

Bah! Reinholdt already survived an entire ray of anti-matter! Wimps, following your 'laws of the universe that only apply to earth'. :smalltongue:
-
Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
Au contraire!
Reinholdt had it way easy against the raygun. See, the very fact that the resulting energy of the matter/anti-matter reaction could be focused into a ray at all proves that relatively little anti-matter was used in the first place! Much less than a bullet- A few particles, maybe.:smalltongue:

Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
But... you... logic...

Which never got to fire I think due to Reinholdt breaking it. :smalltongue:

I figure I should ask, seeing as it's been two months since you posted that...

Kriiiiiis!
Post in the Hell attack! Pat is firing ANT BULLETS at you!

I daresay it may even be enough to wipe out an area the size of the Vatican City. :smalltongue:
-
Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
Depending on the caliber of bullet one bullet is probably about right for the amount of anti-matter that exists on earth today, tiny amounts of anti-matter come in particles.
And Reinholdt why would laws of the universe only work on earth? Wouldn't they work in the entire universe?
-
Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
Out of idle curiosity, I glanced at a couple of figures.
Assuming a very small calibre antimatter bullet, of mass 0.02kg, the resulting explosion would be approaching 0.86 megatons.
So, yeah, the bullet would cause at minimum about the same damage as a 1 megaton bomb. Potentially much more.
A 1 megaton bomb would essentially completely destroy everything in a 1.7 mile radius. The overall area of effect would be much larger than that, but within 1.7 miles, no buildings will be left standing.
This equates to 2.75 kilometres, in metric.
Consulting google maps (not the most reliable source, I know, but adequate for this), from corner to corner, the Vatican City is somewhere in the region of 1.1 kilometres across.
So you could stick five Vatican Cities in a line across the centre of the explosion, and they would all be completely flattened.
...
I was bored and needed something to do, okay? Don't judge me!

Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
Because the Nexus is in a separate place that is considered to draw from many different universes and has already broken many earth universe laws on several different occasions. :smallconfused:
-
Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
Yet another example of why antimatter is very, very hard to use without totally knackering up the plot.

Why does that remind me of a movie?
Anyhow, is there anyone looking to kill something in the hunting grounds? I have seven humanoids that I'm willing to kill off since I can't think of anything else to do with them other than go out with a bang.

Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
Sorry Reinholdt just pointing out sematically a univeral law wouldn't be based on the planet, but rather the universe. No laws of the universe apply only to earth. I do understand that in the nexus you could come from an earth made of half anti-matter half matter and when the two mix dragons and day old bread appear out of nowhere.
-
Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
Yeah. I don't especially appreciate that when I'm reasonably sure my point was very clear.
-
Re: [Nexus] OOC 35: Winter is Coming
Just one of those things I see and can't help but thinking, that doesn't make any sense. Sorry if I confused the point you were trying to make. I got it.
