  1. true technicolor broadcasts.
  2. that the bandersnatch
  3. he absorbed Emeralis. Muahaha, we are now one. Now my welfare is intertwined with yours! We are Eerongalis! Edit: Now we need another candidate to become a super-merged hyper being, so we can have an awesome godly showdown later. I pick andrew, since he's all ready been being picked on for a while, or mycoltbug since he's been pretty hostile towards pretty much everyone appearing in the story so far :3 Of course, we have to pick on the person as they defend themselves to power, otherwise its not as fun.
  4. empowered eerongal further.
  5. electronics, not energy. Srsly. Energy can't short circuit. Electronics can, but the energy is what does it. Also, can we please move on like stated earlier? It's getting kinda old and lame
  6. pain constantly increases. Yeah, i also figured that we should probably move on and stop the eero v all war to actually GET somewhere
  7. Andrew's torment increased Yeah, ok, I can live with being an infinitely all powerful god-like figure bound away until invoked by foolish and petty mortals. :3
  8. eero became all-eternal
  9. Becoming pure energy. ha HA! Now the physical cannot affect me! making me effectively purely invulnerable to everything, and immortal! *was waiting for just such a chance, especially with "disintegrations" being thrown around*
  10. But reintegrated, naturally.
  11. but reformed instantly.
  12. off hand, i dont actually know. However, wikipedia DOES have like a literal army of super dedicated people working on it in their spare time like always.
  13. who immediately became My powers of lurking are truly unmatched. Yeah, ive been noticing a large amount of Eerocide going on in this topic. But think about it this way, if you DO kill me off, you don't have me to pick on anymore!
  14. heh, i bet i copied the wrong link. I tested it before i posted this, like how it works, and i must have copied the link i used to test. Fixing now....

    Redshift?

    time dilation AND redshifts are also caused by gravity, not just motion. From what i was thinking, in order for relativistic time dilation to happen (given our world's physics, that is), the allomancer is going to have to manipulate gravitons, either increasing or decreasing their pull, which would also cause a red/blue shift, similar to, but not the same as, the previously mentioned doppler effect. This is the reason our sun looks yellow/red, because the light escaping its extreme gravity causes a redshift. The reason im assuming we have to use gravitational means for time dilation (again, given our real world physics) is because my previously comment of jest using speed instead of gravity for time dilation would likely be not an ideal thing to do. Edit: While i'm at it, i'll write up a sort of simple "primer" on relativity to see if it helps break down the thinking and whats going on. Ok, think of the simplest "Clock" we can come up with. It's essentially two mirrored plates with a single photon of light bouncing between them. Every full up and down movement is some known, measureable unit of time, say 1 millionth of a second. so every second, that photon moves up and down 1 million times. Said clock is perfectly accurate because the photon always moves back and forth at the same angle and the same speed. so to draw it, we have something like this: | . | where the two pipes are the surfaces, and the period is the photon. That photon is constantly moving back and forth. Now, imagine if you will, two different people looking at this clock. Observer A is sitting perfectly "still", that is, he isnt moving (at least from our perspective for this exercise) Observer B, however, has the clock in his possession, and is moving PAST observer A, lets say on a train, or a space ship or something. So assuming Observer A's viewpoint, I'm going to draw the movement of this photon. I'll only draw the surfaces when it hits. |. . . . .| Notice this creates essentially what is a diagonal line. This distance, however, is much LONGER than the distance if the photon simply moved up and down, because of the combination of the horizontal and vertical distance. However, when it comes to observer B, this distance is NOT diagonal, which is hard to draw here, but would look kinda like this: |.....| This is because for observer B, the photon only needs to move one direction, creating a line straight in either horizontal OR vertical, not both. Because of this, and because the speed of light is constant, meaning it has to hit these plates at exactly the same time for BOTH observers, and has a longer distance to go for one, this creates a time dilation, this is also the basic essence of relativity in as simple terms as i can think to explain it. EVERYTHING has to do with your frame of reference. Such as who is moving. For example, two astronauts in space, drifting randomly with no frame of reference. If they move past each other, to each one, only the OTHER one appears to be moving, while the one observing appears to be stationary without a reference. This is what causes both time dilation AND redshift. The blue/redshift happens because the wavelength of the light does NOT change, it moves up and down in its normal wave at its normal speed. However, when it moves diagonally to you (like observer , the wavelengths are observationally lengthened/shortened, causing the visible light it gives off to alter. This very same time dilation and color shift is also caused by strong gravitational pulls Does this help in any way those who don't really know much about relativity? I'm not a master of it, but i have taken advanced physics courses, and i understand it to some extent. yet another edit: Just a further note - If you really think about it, it makes sense, but its so out of proportion with how we are used to thinking it seems almost like a concept from sci-fi. Technically these things do affect us on a daily basis, but their effects are so minute, we can't tell. To quote douglas adams: "The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
  16. killed again, ressurection :3 (also, what happened to chaos in all this? He just like disappeared.)
  17. fine, spaghetti will
  18. their supreme leader. :3
  19. So i guess no one else wants to play, other than andrew? It's pretty much like a riddle game
  20. unruly monks who
  21. We can put CAPTCHA's on editing of pages using something like the confirmEdit plugin. It may be a pain in the rump, but at the same time its less work that constantly fixing and correcting spam. Edit: i suppose i should address the options you mentioned 1) Kinda a non-option if you ask me, and probably the worst thing to do. 2) Should be done as a matter of principle in the first place, but is too much of a reactive method, and we need something more proactive 3) Workable, but i'm not a fan of this option. Part of a wiki's power is in its openness, and i've long been a proponent of "signing up for an account should be optional" as a general thing. I honestly think Captcha's are the best idea (at least that i can think of). Anyone can post/edit when and how they want, so long as they can prove themselves human. From there, the community will handle all the rest of moderating as need.

    Redshift?

    interesting thought. I gave it a few moments of thought, and i see no reason why that WOULDN'T be the case, given our physical laws are still in effect, as ryan said. If they are indeed using our physical laws, then, in theory, to slow time, then, the metals could instantly rocket the individuals to some large percentage the speed of light!
