Therefore, some light will also get through. But not&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; enough. Assuming that a sample area of atmoshpere can only block so much light, you could use&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; your space industries to create large orbiting mirrors. Secondary mirrors should reflect as much light&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; as possible to main stations. The main stations reflect the light to a secure area on Toril's surface.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Obviously, you need a ground structure there, to direct the energy. Hopefully, the focused beam will&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; overload the dampening in that area. Then use mirrors at the ground station to divert the light into&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; portals, which lead to otehr ground stations. Then run the light coming from the portal through&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; something to diffuse it, so it spreads out like normal. If you can set this up in the air, you'd have&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; localized &quot;suns.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Stuff like this Doomsday crap and Illithid domination was made possible by the reckless introduction&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; and developement of technology without regard for the consequences. And you haven't even&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; discovered of the problems you've created.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Watch your allies.

Author Topic: (Industrial Revolution) Important: We Need Your Help! Reprisal Member Member # 2368 posted December 07, 2001 05:21 AM To all those involved with the current Industrial Revolution thread in the "In Character" forum, please understand that the entire campaign is at the climax and all involved need to throw their hat in the ring once more. I for one would like to see the world remain in existence, especially after all the work I put into playing it! quote: Now, the following powers that you are playing are committed: The Technocracy The Humanoid Alliance Zouron's Magocracy (marginally) The Four Faiths and their Celestial Allies (Aloisius) The NeoIllithid However ... It is not enough. Your combined might, together with the combined might of everyone I speak for, is not enough. The illithid have fought you to a draw. The illithid start to slowly drive you back. The illithid called on their Doomsday Weapon, bringing New Umbra to Toril, and the entire might of their race is upon you. You cannot win against them, unless you obtain more aid. There IS more aid to be had. You can win, if you obtain this aid. But that aid will NOT be forthcoming if those who speak for those peoples do not post. They are: The Deep Illithid The Sharn and Sigilian Mages The Slaadi The Angels of Hope Island and it's people The elves of Northern Maztica Bran's Druids The Faerie and their Dragon allies The Unseelie And perhaps others that have slipped my mind - Balor has posted, but has not assumed control of any power. Without them, you cannot win. Without them, you will be obliterated, although you will put up a hard fight and it will take a long time. I must make the ruling that, if they do not post, their forces are inactive. Inactive forces are of no help to you. Whether they choose to help you, or not help you, is not in my hands. It is in their hands. It is beyond my jurisdiction to save you from the illithid assault: you must find the answers yourselves, or obtain the help you need. Someone on the main RPG board commented that celluloid heroes do not care. A celluloid world is not worth caring for. They may well be proven right. Please! Read Edena's Posts on the Seventeenth Page! That's all you need to know of the battle at this moment. Without that aid, the game will be over, and that's not very fun. In any event, this is my plea to the great minds of the EN World boards, especially those previously, involved in the game. -------------------- "Intelligence in chains loses in lucidity what it gains in intensity." - Albert Camus Posts: 239 | From: Parksville, BC, Canada | Registered: Feb 2001 | IP: Logged Edena_of_Neith Member Member # 1235 posted December 07, 2001 05:38 AM (deletes post, and stays out of this thread) [ December 07, 2001: Message edited by: Edena_of_Neith ] Posts: 1620 | From: Michigan, United States | Registered: Jan 2001 | IP: Logged Black Omega Member Member # 8725 posted December 07, 2001 07:21 AM quote: Please!

So it's the illithid closing in on destroying the Humanoids and their allies? Go Illithids! The humanoids deserve all that and worse. I throw the entire weight of Psicorp..oh, nevermind. We're not around yet. Actually, I can understand wanting to keep things going. But if the Humanoids actually come out of this fine and dandy I'll be deeply disappointed. -------------------- Black Omega ----------- If the Crane believe we would not fight them to win back the Yasuki, they are mistaken.

No doubt. Of course, with the current mood Hollywood would turn it into a musical. Actually, it's pretty easy by now to see Ao popping up. The world starting to collapse as everyone hears 'I really thought I had it right this time. Oh well, time to start again. I apologize for the inconvinience.' Then poof, the end of it all, and a new begining. See, there is your hopeful touch to the end. -------------------- Black Omega ----------- If the Crane believe we would not fight them to win back the Yasuki, they are mistaken.

Hida O-Ushi, Crab Clan Champion, L5R Posts: 15 | From: USA | Registered: Dec 2001 | IP: Logged Victim Member Member # 9 posted December 07, 2001 10:42 AM I seem to recall reading that the technarcs had developed some kind of space program. And that the illithid super weapon changed the UV blocking properties to also block visible light. If the above are true, then you should be able to counteract the superweapon. Some UV raditation gets through to the surface. Therefore, some light will also get through. But not enough. Assuming that a sample area of atmoshpere can only block so much light, you could use your space industries to create large orbiting mirrors. Secondary mirrors should reflect as much light as possible to main stations. The main stations reflect the light to a secure area on Toril's surface. Obviously, you need a ground structure there, to direct the energy. Hopefully, the focused beam will overload the dampening in that area. Then use mirrors at the ground station to divert the light into portals, which lead to otehr ground stations. Then run the light coming from the portal through something to diffuse it, so it spreads out like normal. If you can set this up in the air, you'd have localized "suns." Stuff like this Doomsday crap and Illithid domination was made possible by the reckless introduction and developement of technology without regard for the consequences. And you haven't even discovered of the problems you've created. Watch your allies. I haven't seen any fundamental differences in the nature of humanity despite changes in culture, society and technology. Therefore, it might be safer to assume that the "miraculous" changes in some of lyour allies dispositions is some stratagem or trick, rather than a change of heart. Why should I return to Toril to risk everything again? Everything I cared about there either died, changed beyond recognition, or went through the Worldwallk with me when things turned to hell. Have fun. -------------------- Got vorpal?
