That was fast. How’d they pull that off?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Our technological prowess and ingenuity is very difficult to match, period. Lots of smart cookies and technology to speed things along.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Even with tech, people are still people. How’d you get around the logistics of that?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

A good army of robots can do wondrous things. I heard of a much more miraculous example in the form of a Waternaux City, pretty recently.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Even for managing and governing people out of chaos?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

It's not difficult under certain conditions. A strong backbone for societal structure, a physically strong military force for defense and peacekeeping, good incentives for not pursuing a dystopic life.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

The first one I think is the hardest part. Not that I've ever built a civilization.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Well, what I mean by that is that the dystopia didn’t last that long. A solid majority of people who helped rebuild were people who had lived through and been part of society before the disaster. A large populace with an understanding what a solid society looks like, all of which were accustomed to that life, makes it not hard to convince, nor does it require a whole lot of change to make it happen, compared to building a society out of, say, a world that had lived in dystopia for centuries or longer.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Even if everyone has a different idea of how society is supposed to be?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

It’s hardly different, if at all.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

You think so? Building a society isn’t a small thing, after all. I feel like I might not think it should be done the same way someone else does.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

And you'd act on that rather than return to normalcy in an otherwise deprived life?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

No, but we’d somehow have to come up with the consensus.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

"We'd"? Oh, right, "we'd".

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

The collective we, not the royal we. Like, if I were a part of that society, we would have to come to a consensus.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

And people's opinion isn't that different. The core of all this is pretty agreed upon for us, if it isn't for most others.

*Walks slow laps around the laser occupying your position*
That poor soul feels lost, I imagine. Ripped from an identity that should be hers.
*Leans down and picks up a small piece of rubble*
I’m an agent of creation. I want no part of any family that does this.
*Drops it*
The only way you leave in one piece is by taking me to King so I can deal with him personally.

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

You do understand the threat of death means nothing to those of Amaranthine, correct? Conventional weapons, like you laser above, are functionally useless in combat against us. A minor distraction, if anything.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I’m just curious as all. It’s not every day you hear about a civilization rebuilding itself.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Yes, I am just wasting resources by keeping a weapon focused on you when it's clearly doing nothing. I take it this means that you're done with the phase where you attempt to justify things?
