[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 5051261, member: 326"] Hey all! :) Thanks for the copious links, just spent the past hour or so reading up on the information. Heres another interesting link I found... [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AbusingTheKardashevScaleForFunAndProfit]Abusing The Kardashev Scale For Fun And Profit - Television Tropes & Idioms[/url] I still think my own Table was pretty good... [url=http://www.immortalshandbook.com/freestuff1.htm]Immortality[/url] ...although I might change that somewhat, and its also worth pointing out that an Elder One (on that scale) is effectively equivalent to a Type 2 Civilisation all by itself. Collectively, Elder Ones might indeed be higher. I think going by tiers is the simplest method. Immortals ~ Type III collectively Sidereals ~ Type IV Eternals ~ Type V Supernals ~ Type VI Hypernals, Ultrals etc. As for the Last Great Time War, I immediately got the Dr Who reference, although I did ponder if some other sci-fi had a similarly monickered war. But there is scant information to go on. Basically all they seem to simulate is a bunch of 'deus ex machina' moments, rather that something thats actively 'worked towards'. [/QUOTE]
