[QUOTE="Ravage_mk2, post: 6191086, member: 45228"] [b]A little idea I had sneak into my brain recently.[/b] And I entirely blame Paradox Interactive. Presenting: "The Paradox System" A Solar system a little bit removed from the main space routes, although "little bit" is still fairly bloody far when you are measuring in AU or Lightyears. None the less, the system provides a number of interesting aspects. For one, the system seems to be a heck of a lot larger on the inside then it does when seen/scanned "outside" it. Some suspect a certain professor who shares the system name to be the cause of this, but sofar not a single incarnation of him has confirmed this. Aside from this, the Paradox System would appear to be a copy of Earth. Or rather, Earths, plural. Visitors to the system will find not one, but literally dozens of copies of the proverbial green/blue marble scattered about the system usually in small groups around a shared sun. One key aspect of these myriad earths, is that all of them seem to be at an accelerated time axis compared to the regular earth. Limited testing sofar has revealed that the ratio seems to vary, but at times days literally pass by in seconds. Planetside, anyway, the time dilation effect does not seem to expand beyond the atmosphere of the planets. The name for the system most likely stems from the revealed detail that all of these earths seem to represent the various "Paradox Interactive" works. One study group has confirmed that their test planets advanced through a "Crusader Kings" period, followed in turn by an Europa Universalis, Victoria and Hearts of Iron period before... restarting... at the Crusader Kings portion. However, from time to time, certain anomalies were observed. A handful of research runs somehow encountered Sakura Taisen or Rise of Legends aspects in the Victorian section. From a game vantage point, such anomalies are most likely the result of so called mods. One question that could be asked: if these worlds are based on Paradox games... who, or what, are the players? There have been reports of several factions being spotted in the space around the various planets, though not a single act of hostilities has been recorded ever since the system was discovered. Perhaps this is due to some of the potential players? While this is largely speculation, there was a very large bird like being seen traveling between some of the worlds. Data mining seems to point at either "Tzeentch" itself, or at least a (very high ranking?) Greater Demon belonging to earlier listed Chaos Deity based on the general description. Another suspected participant, or set of participants, would seem to hail from the so called "Disc World" if sources are to be believed. One researcher, prior to being mauled by a legged chest with teeth, had apparently been chatting with a fellow called Rincewind about the Discworld gods and the supposed games they play. Before the recorded conversation devolved into a rather nasty bit of agony, the death plagued wizard did seem to agree with the idea that the gods were no longer playing around with Discworld, as much. In fact, one of the last things Rincewind spoke of before the conversation..ended... was a certain box he had seen last time the gods had pulled him god knows where they stay.
