[Demonic Spoon]

___
Torus World:
Sphere System: Nilva, Gai-gen
___

"This is simply for the purpose of deciding if we want a torus world or a sphere system. Personally, I find value in a sphere system, rather than the more complex torus. Also. I do not understand why growth in the world or worlds is wanted. Elaborate. Hm. Complexity increases."

Why is the torus considered more complex?

[Vgray]

"I agree with what Aurosseu said about a day-night cycle placing a rhythm on life."

[FallacyofUrist]

"More work is required to allow life on a torus system. And... hm. Complexity is hard to define. Like happiness. But it is present in the torus, and not as much in a simple sphere."

[Demonic Spoon]

"More work is required to allow life on a torus system. And... hm. Complexity is hard to define. Like happiness. But it is present in the torus, and not as much in a simple sphere."

I disagree. Comparatively the torus is less complex, and whether it'd truly be more complex to create life is debatable. By what metric is a ring more complex than a ball? Especially since the ball is spinning on its own axis while also circling a sun, while the ring is simply turning around the sun, if even that.

[FallacyofUrist]

"So you do not want a day-night cycle? Such a thing is easier to implement for a sphere."

Stagnation. Urgh. I have a feeling I will be taking a more solitary route when we are done with this. Maybe my other aspect will be more suited to speed this process...
A full set of dark-red armor materialize on Lithus.
...Indeed. You may all call me Luthus for now. I would be very grateful if you could all cast your votes faster. I have many things to do and I hate wasting time.

And also, Gai-gen, you forgot to count my vote in favor of the torus world.

[Demonic Spoon]

"So you do not want a day-night cycle? Such a thing is easier to implement for a sphere."

It is not so much that I do not want a day/night cycle, as that I am largely ambivalent on the matter. I fail to see why such a large value is placed on it by most of you. So ultimately Gai-gen, you also focus mainly on the ease of implementing a day-night cycle?

This is forming a disappointing trend.

[FallacyofUrist]

"Acknowledged."

___
Torus World: Izgamlo, Luthus
Sphere System: Nilva, Gai-gen
___

"Correct. A day-night cycle would cost more essence for a torus world than a sphere."

[FArgHalfnr]

"Acknowledged."

___
Torus World: Izgamlo, Luthus
Sphere System: Nilva, Gai-gen
___

"Correct. A day-night cycle would cost more essence for a torus world than a sphere."

...And would serve absolutely no purpose, except perhaps a cosmetic appeal. I see no point in valuing it so much.

[Vgray]

"Hm. Would it be true to state that my brethren are more concerned for themselves than for our forthcoming children? I am merely curious. And you forgot my vote for the sphere system."

[Demonic Spoon]

"Correct. A day-night cycle would cost more essence for a torus world than a sphere."

Might I ask why exactly you desire a day/night cycle?

"Hm. Would it be true to state that my brethren are more concerned for themselves than for our forthcoming children? I am merely curious. And you forgot my vote for the sphere system."

Why form a distinction? Our creations are us, and we are our creations. After all, we take from our own essence to create them.

[FallacyofUrist]

"A day-night cycle allows for distribution of heat instead of an oven. Disorientation may also be present in our creations without one. And what else would you base a calendar on?"

___
Torus World: Izgamlo, Luthus
Sphere System: Nilva, Gai-gen, Uztot Mailug
___

[Ama]

"I vote for the Torus world."

"Hm. Would it be true to state that my brethren are more concerned for themselves than for our forthcoming children? I am merely curious. And you forgot my vote for the sphere system."

"Watch your tongue, God of Unneeded Parenting Advice less I rip it from your mouth."

[Demonic Spoon]

Disorientation may also be present in our creations without one.

Disagreement. A creature that has never known such a cycle would not be disorientated by its absence. Day and night are merely variations in ambient illumination, not some foundational building block of life.

And what else would you base a calendar on?

Seasons obviously.

[FArgHalfnr]

A moon orbiting the sun closer than the torus could serve the purpose of timekeeping easily, and I assume the spherical world also includes such a satellite, so the arguments of additional costs or needless complexity don't apply in this case.
