Hey.
« on: November 07, 2010, 03:03:17 PM »
You guys keep forgetting that the Library is a secret installation. It can't be located as it's within the jet of a Quasar, and that would scramble pretty much all sensor equipment. Not to mention you can't follow an Archive ship there, as they use wormholes. You can't track a signal there, as they use QEB technology. You all have NO WAY to figure out where it is, unless you do it IC.

Wormholes can be traced and tracked down.

Wormholes are basically shortcuts through spacetime. It's a tunnel from point A to point B. You just scan the spacetime structure of the tunnel, and you could find out where it leads to.

Or, you can just send a probe through the wormhole, which would send out signals to the sender of the probe, and you can get the coordinates of where it went to.

The space time structure wouldn't give an exact coordinates of the Library, nor would it give them any suggestive details on the nature of the area around it.

And no probe has been sent IC through an Archive wormhole, even then, normal communication technology doesn't work near the Library, as the Quasar's jet disrupts it.

It would, as the tunnel would go from starting point to destination.

The probe doesn't have to send signals via conventional means. It can probably even use magic as signals. And you know how magic is: It doesn't have to obey the quasar's physics.

Magic still has to follow the laws of the universe.

And even then, no one has scanned an Archive wormhole. :/

Not all of them. We break laws all the time.

Then why the fuck should technology be forced to follow the laws of the universe?

One thing about magic, that even I, a tech user, respect, is that it's not bound to laws of physics... not bound as much, as the very least.

Well, it's still a wormhole. There are still ways. High chances of first-times.

And Orph... that's what I'm wondering...

Technology is not a supernatural sort of force.

And neither is magic, well it is but up until now I was sure it was bound to the laws of the universe. It made the RP fair, saying the magic isn't limited means it's absolutely the winner. Meaning magic, at every single turn, win. This makes the RP unbalanced.

With Hikaru's chart, technology is a supernatural force, sorta... I'm already going to remedy the bloody problem of tech being limited by doing something...

And Orph, thank you. That's what I was trying to tell them.

And yes... I prefer to do this OK style... never tried it... but I think would prefer OK style than this...

Technology and magic are treated too commonly as antitheses to each other on this RP. They aren't equal because there's no inequality or equality either way. They're like apples and oranges. We shouldn't balance tech out to equal magic.

Nor can you have a fun and fairly constructed RP if one choice easily outweighs the other option.

No. You guys were talking about how the RP should be balanced, now you're saying that tech shouldn't be equal to magic.

Tech and magic should be equal. Tech is stronger at some points, magic is stronger at some points.
