TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) 7,698 I have almost as many as Twi? I suppose you and I just aren't as interesting as Joe or Kobold. Edited May 27, 2015 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 1
Voidus Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I suppose you and I just aren't as interesting as Joe or Kobold. I'm sure we're prettier. *Flicks hair which inexplicably grew to long blonde curls for the purposes of this joke* 5
Blackhoof Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I was just re-reading Firefight and I was curious, what is the power situation in our cities? Portland: the grid was destroyed by two electricity Epics a bit ago, wasn't it? so no power whatsoever, yeah? The Dalles: any power? Arsenal could probably whip up a generator, so probably the military buildings do at least, yeah? Corvallis: I doubt Cornucopia could grow any generators. Does Corvallis have any power? And if so, where from? Astoria: No clue.

And if so, where from? Astoria: No clue. Cornucopia could make pretty much unlimited fuel and raw materials so all they'd need is a few engineers to make some gas generators and they'd be fine on power. Or they could use solar or wind farms since they have a weather manipulator. Portland only has sporadic energy, mostly focused in thoughttown, the other two I'm not sure on.

And if so, where from? Astoria: No clue. Oregon is home to a lot of preppers, people who prep for an apocalypse that may or may not come, so we assumed there would be a not-insignificant number of people with generators in Portland. Some go without power, but those who have generators aren't above sharing with their neighbors. The Dalles I thinks runs on generators, and I'm not sure what the situation is in Astoria or Corvallis.
Edgedancer he/him Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 That'd be my guess. He's very reluctant about a lot of questions. I wonder if we'd get any answers if we'd ask about one of Prof's old buddies, like the one called Mirkwood. He can't have a major role in the next novel--right? Either that or ask him if parallel universe Brandon managed to finish the Cosmere or if the Reckonerverse is a true distopia without a finished Cosmere. Weird thing I just found out. I'm not one of the most active people on this forum (AT least compared to Voidus, Mailliw, Edgedancer and Twi) But I have more profile views than them. In fact, the only won with more profiles views then me is Kobold. Also, has the night skip in astoria happened yet? Not quite yet but all it should take is one more post by Sirce, so we are almost there. I was just re-reading Firefight and I was curious, what is the power situation in our cities? Portland: the grid was destroyed by two electricity Epics a bit ago, wasn't it? so no power whatsoever, yeah? The Dalles: any power?

And if so, where from? Astoria: No clue. We're pretty much cheating as far as the power grid is concerned, I'm sure. Astoria hs more or less the same situation as Corvallis. On the Dalles I'm also not really sure but no one in topic has worried over electrizity yet.
Blackhoof Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Cornucopia could make pretty much unlimited fuel and raw materials so all they'd need is a few engineers to make some gas generators and they'd be fine on power. Or they could use solar or wind farms since they have a weather manipulator. Portland only has sporadic energy, mostly focused in thoughttown, the other two I'm not sure on. that's true. Rainmaker could easily spin turbines to create as much power as necessary. And they probably have some electricity Epics that help as well. Oregon is home to a lot of preppers, people who prep for an apocalypse that may or may not come, so we assumed there would be a not-insignificant number of people with generators in Portland. Some go without power, but those who have generators aren't above sharing with their neighbors. The Dalles I thinks runs on generators, and I'm not sure what the situation is in Astoria or Corvallis. that's quite interesting, I didn't know that. I think in most cases and in most places there wouldn't be any power beyond the occasional generator (the books were pretty clear that Newcago is rare for even having power), but our cities are a bit of an exception with all these creation-Epics going around. Plus, with the amount of destruction we will wreak before the events of Steelheart, there will truly be nothing left power-wise.

On the Dalles I'm also not really sure but no one in topic has worried over electrizity yet. Speaking of, what all more is needed to finish up the day in The Dalles? Yay cheating! Another reason the electricity situation in The Dalles hasn't come up yet is because it's been daytime since that thread started. Now that the sun is setting, I'd assume civilians are encouraged to use candlelight wherever possible, reserving fuel for those who really need electricity, like Doctor Game.

And if so, where from? Astoria: No clue. While it's probably canon-bending, Thoughttown does have quite good power. That's one thing Altermind has invested a lot in, making sure there is power for his citizens. He has many engineers and electricians whose sole job is to keep power plants running. He also has Flashpoint to help a bit on occasion. When Funtimes comes in the morning, he can also request that she make him a few more generators.
Voidus Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Backtrack and MV need to head back to Portland, Arsenal needs to arrive at the clinic, that's all I can think of.

What Voidus said plus Vondra sending Autumn away and scolding Shiny Sparkle, maybe someone taking Deathwish away and one or two catch up posts by Mailliw for Frequency and the Edgerunner/Frostfire situation, if he can still make it this week. But only in spirit any by loophole abuse.

But only in spirit any by loophole abuse. Thought so. And then we can get to the ship teasing introduce Vapor Snake already. I wonder, though—if he's going to be Autumn's bodyguard, will they get his old squad back together, or sort of put that on the back burner? We're good at loophole abuse here. Besides, if authors didn't want fanfic writers to abuse their loopholes, they'd just tell their fans everything they want to know about their favorite series in the first place.

Mailliw73 he/him Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Yeah, Logic and I are working quick as we can to get Freq/Sunspot taken care of for the night. Tomorrow or Thursday at the latest we'll be done. We also need to get Emma and Ethan to the Springfield for a brief chat and then Emma can go to her quarters (where would those be, by the way?) and they'd need to get Frostfire a room(who would arrange that?) because even with her faux pas, Emma doesn't want him sleeping in her room.

Now that the sun is setting, I'd assume civilians are encouraged to use candlelight wherever possible, reserving fuel for those who really need electricity, like Doctor Game. Well the fact that Arsenal can create enough generators for everyone means that yeah, fuel is the only thing they might be concerned about. While it's probably canon-bending, Thoughttown does have quite good power. That's one thing Altermind has invested a lot in, making sure there is power for his citizens. He has many engineers and electricians whose sole job is to keep power plants running. He also has Flashpoint to help a bit on occasion.

That makes sense. If anyone would have power it would be Thoughttown. We decided that the rest of the city, until Funtimes, was much more lacking in power and technology. Altermind can afford to have mobiles made on command, but they'd be rare elsewhere in the city.

Besides, if authors didn't want fanfic writers to abuse their loopholes, they'd just tell their fans everything they want to know about their favorite series in the first place. Probably a mix of both. He doesn't exactly need to be right next to his squad for them to use the gifted powers, meaning they could operate on their own once gifted his powers. Coupled with conversations over radio and reports to wherever he's guarding Autumn it shouldn't be too hard for both to function. Given that he was the one that gave the orders about putting him in prision and hand picked them to have personalites he can work with I also don't think it should be that hard to put the team back together. Exactly, there are no spoliers, only research.
Blackhoof Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Yeah, David said that he estimated gifted powers worked within a dozen miles of Prof. Do at the least, the team could operate anywhere in the city and the surrounding area without trouble. They'd just need to return to him for refills, obviously.

Voidus Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 And once Winter Glass, the most powerful Epic, realized this potential she turned him into the world's first supernatural drug dealer. *grumble grumble* Would have worked better with Necropathy, his users actually waste away. 1
Blackhoof Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 It would actually probably be better in theory to keep him away from the direct action- he gifts all his power to his squad and then sits back, completely avoiding any corruption. The only issue is that his squadmates would have to return to him wherever his was to refill after a bit of fighting, which would be much easier if he was fighting with them.
Blaze1616 he/him Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) I would think Corvallis has excess power. Considering the draw of Corvallis is a safe haven, almost a paradise, not giving the citizens power seems...weird? Particularly when you consider the ease of acquiring generators (dig hole, throw in generator, have Cornucopia do her thang), not to mention Rainmaker's capability to abuse wind energy and solar energy. Then there's the Williamette, which can be used by mills to make electricity, and considering the length of the river engulfed by the bubble, there's plenty of opportunity to fit more mills. By combining all of these options, providing power to the city, even if only at night, should be doable. As for other locations, the Williamette would at least be able to provide power to locations near the river. I'm not familiar with their situations otherwise. Edited May 27, 2015 by Blaze1616
Kobold King he/him Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 The Dalles: any power? Arsenal could probably whip up a generator, so probably the military buildings do at least, yeah? According to Wikipedia, The real-life Dalles is currently arranging citywide hydroelectric power for its citizens. So with that beginning infrastructure + Arsenal, I should think the entire city has sustainable power.
Voidus Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 So what was the plan with the MoNA attack, the plan was for it to be late at night since Yorrick isn't exactly subtle in his transportation method so if anyone was looking down they'd notice the MEE coming from a mile off, but if we want it to interrupt the conversation with the Unicyclist I guess everyone in the museum was distracted by Lightwards fabulous hat or something?

To be fair his hat is pretty mesmerizing. I guess Lightwards should hear them yelling and should suspend their conversation to deal with them? 1
