Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
Anarion:
You're thinking about this in terms of a universe where relativity holds.
Aotrs is not.
Basically, he's attempting to have a railgun slug use the Picard Manoeuvrer.
So, the FTL is in such a way that exceeds c, but doesn't mess with general relativity to the point of going back in time.
Sure, it's not the hardest sci-fi ever, but dude.

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
I would not raise an issue with this if he wasn't bringing it up in a rant about how things need to be able to actually affect the universe and can be properly interacted with using energy weapons. It kind of undercuts the position of "things must work this way!" when you admit to your own organization using a thing that doesn't work.

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
Pinkie Pie's more like, five Batman villains. Each day, she wakes up and says "I feel like the Joker today!" or "This sounds like a day for the Penguin!" and puts on such a convincing act that she gets let out of jail or whatever because she's not the same pony that was locked away yesterday.
"Okay, so I'm going to quick draw and dual wield these one-pound caltrops as improvised weapons..."

"Oh, hey, look! Blue Eyes Black Lotus!" "Wait what, do you sacrifice a mana to the... Does it like, summon a... What would that card even do!?" "Oh, it's got a four-energy attack. Completely unviable in actual play, so don't worry about it."

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
Eh, I dunno then. So maybe it doesn't. It's not like I've actually measured the observed whatever or anything, I was just extrapolating as an offhand point from what I do know (i.e. that Aotrs railguns fire at FTL speeds - using the same sort of technology used to create traditional same-dimension near-C and FTL transit (such as used by most standard starship engines, whose "maximum" speed is as much relativistic temporal restriction, rather than physical.) And thinking it worked, as Shadow of the Sun said, more like a Picard manouver, or seeing a lightning bolt before hearing thunder. It was a minor aside at best, and not important. At the end of the day, Aotrs Gate technology (which I do know all about) uses neither, and I'm a necromancer not an FTL technician.
Best guess without doing a lot of pratting around (and now I come to think harder about it) I distantly recall something about the railguns imparting the same effect that the engines use, only without needing active temporal compensators (which, yes, are a standard component of all starship drives (even really low tech ones) - have to be, given even combat speeds that are signficant fractions of c, and no, I have no clue as to how they actually work, only that they eliminate the temporal distortions caused by near or FTL speeds). The effect is short-lived (not that it matters within the space of effective weapon range), I think, and unlike a starship drive, there's an inertial component (most starship drives are typically called "inertia-less", though that is not in fact correct, there is inertia, but just greatly dampened - and they also require continuous burn as opposed to bursts like typical bottom-space-tech inertial combustion engines).
Effective weapon range, incidently, is a function of accuracy; past a million kilometers or so, the flight time become sufficient that evasive manouvers happen between firing and impact.
Anyhoo, as I say, it's not important, so I'll drop the subject anyway.

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
About two days (Monday, 12pm GMT) left before I'd like all the people answering the tumblrbot question to have sent in their answers. (link for those that may need it).
After those come in, I'm going to open up and allow questions to be claimed.

See, if the folks who are more writing-oriented could somehow get character emoting pics similar to Thanqol's, this sort of thing could be happening on the tumblr blog no problem. Just another suggestion for the pile.

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
Sure but lets say what your fighting is a viral sound virus/being. By the time you've precived it you're under attack. The blank slate method works by guesswork in that situation. The house is similar in that one day there is an extra door in your ship that just goes to the wrong place. You can't blank slate it because it appears inside your defenses.
I'm sorry. Hug?
Still not sure what the actual difference is though between your Natural Influence and a love spell.

Natural Mental Influence is increasing your abilities, making yourself so sexy or so persuasive that people find it hard to disagree. Unnatural Mental Influence is decreasing or bypassing their defences-rather than just making yourself so hot they want you, you magically TELL them they want you until they agree.
ooh, better metaphor.
Natural mental influence is playing a video game, but using your magic powers to play it amazingly inhumanly well.
Unnatural mental influence is hacking the game magically so you've already won.
(I'm sure I could get the Kobayashi Meru in this explanation somewhere...)
Natural is normal persuasion, magnified. Unnatural is just mind control.Last edited by Lix Lorn; 2012-06-23 at 06:52 PM.

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
I see. And yours affects everyone around you correct? But they don't realize themselves are being amped up?
Different topic!
Changling abilities: What do you think they can do?
I've seen everything from mind control to borg style assimilation. Some people put them at an insanely high power per changling.
Personally I think they are powered by love, have basic unicorn telekinisis, perfect illusionary transformation into a target they've seen, flight, and the ability to create a goop-like rope. They are physically weaker then every pony, do not have a hive mind, heal slower then ponies, and have free will.Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

"As far as the Abyss goes, tearing apart reality is kind of it's motivation, so orbital sterilisation of contact sites is unfortunately close to giving it what it wants."
"That's a great idea! I'll harvest unborn souls instead! My ethical dilemma is solved!"
"But there's still the problem of one of Thanqol's earlier characters who basically protects the Bastion of Souls full time, and he's a bit of a badass."
By the way I hate that house. My advice? Try and track down the book.
"Hmmm, what planet do I least like...?"
"Park it outside Io. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Io."
"I seem to have misjudged you."
"Mhm."
Thanqol's fragments are no answering on his behalf. I fear we may never see thanqol prime again-assuming such a being has relevence or meaning.

I never said that it was a justification. I was stating a simple fact. Furthermore, you are quite correct.
However, you may not have taken not of my first sentence.

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
Huh? Never thought about it, tbh. it was a joke.
Hmm.
How does the shipping aura work. Well, I'd assume it just lowers the inhibitions slightly, but it's a very weak effect. Honestly... people are affected more by being told 'I have a shipping aura' then actually being in the aura. I've considered just not bothering to make it before.
How long til they get them? :P

I can't even tell if you are being sarcastic or not. Anyways I'm sure you'll be fine. You don't need to get to the actual Bastion of Souls but one of the channels will do. Also send in a vacation package first.

Re: My Little Pony 2F: Ponibooru, We Hardly Knew Ye...
As I thought you missed what I'm talking about. I'm talking about situations where simply upping the energy does not matter or at least is not linear. While its generally not effortless when you focus instead of on power but upon concept you can achieve situations where the scale of the power becomes irrelevant. While some power (be it whatever form) is likely present/expended in the conceptual approach it is not something that has to line up with scale.
A defense which say places one in an "unreachable utopia" that nothing else can enter, but which you can still send effects out to and be aware of your original reality. You are invincible because even an attack across multiple realities of infinite power can't enter your unreachable utopia thus can't reach you. But still having a relevant one-way connection to the original reality makes you also able to attack. Of course under ordinary logic this is monstrously horrendous to be in such an unreachable utopia, but that is of course why it is a miraculous phenomena since it is something that could not be achieved by "normal" means.
That's fighting by concept not power and yes its absolutely cheating.
The Lich said his railgun weapons fire slugs. Inert metal mass cannot move at FTL speeds since it would requiring that mass to have been given mathematically infinite energy among many other things. While various FTL methods have been conceptualized they broadly speaking all cheat this rule. You for example bend space-time to shorten your path or you can say go into another dimension with different spacial geometry and rules. Or perhaps you can even create an effect to change the value of c.
However a slug by definition cannot carry any equipment to do that, so to do that one would actually need to not only have an FTL method but a way to project it along the intended course of the round. Which frankly is almost certainly an engineering waste of time. If it doesn't just break reality. And it would probably be easier to just fire an slower then light mass at a high percentage of lightspeed. Which would give you say an upper limit of between the Earth and the Moon as a range with only a fraction over a second or so of warning.
Depending on the delta-v you can instantly generate and the g-forces your crew can handle this does make combat in space nominally "short-ranged" next to the scale. However nothing is to scale with space's size anyways, and its still an awfully long range.
