Both've you are wrong and right. Swift is correct in that we can make new technology. Swift is incorrect in assuming we'd be able to remake space travel, or other methods of getting from one planet or another. Barring the obvious reality that there is a REASON we use electricity to power our technology in real life and on the forum, I have two points:My first point is that it, quite frankly, would mean that each race has to start back before the information era and move from there. We have to reinvent EVERYTHING, using pretty much completely new concepts. Now, if our races stayed united, then they could feasibly reinvent everything in a relatively short time, at least compared to how it was previous to that. Which means we'd only have to wait a couple generations before we'd have the ability to get to the next planet in our solar system...Wait, no, thats a bad thing. My second point is that this has to be done ENTIRELY without inorganic computers(not that anyone would be making any at the level of technology anyways). Disregard how computers use electricity. Thats not what I mean. Alpha hacked into every devicethat in the dimension that utilizes a form of computer to run. Even those we dont think of as computers, obviously. The only thing these devices would have in common is the fact that they compute and process data. Presumably, it would not be impossible for Alpha to take nonelectronic ones. Therefor, we would have to do every technological advancement by hand, and we cannot use technology to store any form of data any longer. Unless of course Alpha's not keeping track of newly made computers, in which case he's quite frankly kind of a idiot since it'd take all but a month to replace the locked tech if everyone works together and shares knowledge(unlikely, but still). So, without the advantage of ANY form of computer, it will take far longer to develope whatever this new means of unaided space travel is. And you can say goodbye to reaching any other solar systems without a navigation system(which would rely on computational technology, of course). So, Logan is right about this event being unsustainable. If people are stuck, they wont play the game for long(after all, everyone can only RP with people on the planets they're on, if there's nobody else there who wants to RP by themself?). In addition, he is not talking about surviving, Swift. He's talking about having fun. There is a important difference in keeping a forum alive.
Logan, however, is not entirely correct either. You do bring up good points but you do fail at Alpha's motive. He doesn't hate technology, he wants to keep it out of the hands of the Empires, in order to stop them from warring. Im not bringing this up from this topic, its from the other one, but it still applies. His motivation is bringing peace by force, not a hatred of technology. Do take that into account. Also note that Swift's own points have merit and that this all should remain temporary. If it doesn't, then there isn't any arguing your points, but if it does then there is stuff to do in the meantime.
My apologies for taking your 'hi Im back' topic, Jeebus, though this hopefully shall be the end of the jacking to it. I do hope that your vacation to the Land of Cheese and Wine went well, for what its worth.
