Okay, waffle, someone who had a record of not posting in this thread for a whopping 25 pages, is now at 15 percent.

[acetech09]

He's just riding off of past reputation.


Either way, I found out why my internet isn't working. I was walking around the corner to the supermarket when I find a worker waist deep in the sidewalk, pulling out tons of cable... damn. Looks like I won't have it back for a while.

I'll move on to stage 2.

Ahh. Now, what is that?

It appears that I have, for now, won the elections. What massive voter turn out. Like everyone in this thread voted. In this case, I shall take the opposition, and give him the also equally undefined but probably weaker position of Prime minister.

I wouldn't recommend that. You'll only be encouraging me to start an underground rebellion.

Guys, its 8 and 9, With Misko winning only by 1, tides CAN turn. Im going to keep this poll up until noon tomarrow (my time), at which point I will take the poll down, and whoever has the most votes will be the the Big boss, second runner up will get a choice of any position of authority in the colony, and the third aswell, however will choose after the runner up.

I think that seems fair. Any objections? No?

Now that I think of it, there are a few more problems:
1: how to persuade the entire Bay12 community to join funds and leave the planet.
2: how to convince the world we are not a threat (until the big reveal)
3: logistics. The journey to mars at our current tech levels will take roughly 200 days each way.
Not to mention the vast amount of people involved, the food for the aforementioned, and livestock, and food for the livestock, and farming equipment, and mining equipment, and space suits, and air, and soul-harvesting machines, and base-building stuff, and an anvil, and.... Etc. the more we bring, the heavier/larger the ship will be, the more fuel we need, the more air we'll need. We'll also have to plan for a return journey.
An alternative would be necroing the thread for a few years until we have better space travel, but it will leave the gap open for someone else to sneak in.

Those problems are still real. I've also had another idea:
Step 1: set up a mining base on an asteroid. (mid-large)
Step 2: when asteroid dry of materials/minerals, hollow it out.
Step 3: reinforce shell (to protect against radiation)
Step 4: two options now.
Step 4 a) fit engines on it. Big engines. Convert inside to living space.
Step 4 b) ditto, but instead of living space, arm the thing. (bonus points for using a stupendously large weapon.
Step 5 a) you now have a fully mobile colony.
Step 5 b) you now have one massive warship.
Step 6: (all) ?
Step 7: Profit!
Step 8: repeat with moon.
Other examples: waterstroid (a massive ocean for fishing), bombstroid (guess) and as many more as you can think of.

easier way to travel in space :
1. steal a space ship from NASA .
2. travel the universe with the space ship .
3. repeat .

In all my years and education I could not have articulated anything so well as brainfreez has this very moment. Kudos.

12, 12, 4.   So far a tie, with waffle gaining steam.

And if I remember that radioactive boy scout story the stuff in smoke detectors can't be used directly in nuclear weapons (maybe a dirty bomb given the result of irradiating his whole neighborhood) but it can be used to make the stuff that can be used if applied correctly.

Sarcasm, goooshhh... Seriously, I think Toady has enough on his hands. I'm still working on setting up my own server or otherwise. You guys keep discussing here for now.

Nooo.... DZA's gaining ground! He's up by one on misko!

(No offense to you, DZA. You're awesome. But I just... can't... take... the... pants thong!
