It's not a matter of refueling or not. It's a matter that, unless you can make gravity do the work for you, like inside of a star, fusion reactors tend to consume far more energy than they generate, because they need insanely powerful magnetic fields to contain the plasma and said electromagnets have to be energized and cooled using external fonts of power.

Even if the dip was as low as 1%, which it's not, it would still make it impractical. You would have to reverse entropy, which is impossible as @Raineh Daze said, to be able to make it work.

@KoLWe also have yet to see a good argument as to why having a world-building section when people "world-build" would be a bad idea.

@Holy Soldier

This is right, to say the truth, however, if the problem is at a tie, going with the path of least resistance is the most optimal choice no matter the discussion.

So, why build/fix something that's neither needed, nor not needed? It would be a waste of time and effort no matter how you try to put it, unless one of the sides present a definitive solution.

This is the only logical answer that can come from this whole discussion.

World-Building Section

I was helping organize the site. The truth here is, if the Moderators decided to implement this idea, the people who are bemoaning it happening would still continue to write on this site regardless. It doesn't affect them in any way. As for the writers, it gives the people who "actually" world-build and who actually role play on this site a section for their drafts, ideas, and where they can place their concepts without having to choose from multiple different sections that really aren't meant for world-building. We're literally just "making" it a world-building thread because there's no real place to put the ideas. So you have world-building appearing in multiple sections for no reason. All you have to do is make a section for it.

@Holy Soldier

Implying that people who world-build need an explicit world building section when the majority of the people who posted here, myself included, stated the contrary. It also comes with the flipside of meaning that those who don't use a world-building section don't world-build.

Perhaps I've gone blind somewhere, but I'm not attacking you. Telling people to drop off of the discussion just because you don't agree with their opinion is a big way to show that you don't know how to argument.

Don't forget that, we have not seen one single opinion in favor of yours. Or a good counter point other than "even if it got done and people didn't use it, no one would stop playing here."

It's the same thing as a city building a random statue just because no one would move because of it. It's not a good argument in favor of your point, not at all.

Winds of Change: A Re:Creators-Inspired Multiverse RP

@KoLMy phone doesn't run on a fusion reactor because the tech doesn't exist for multiple reasons. I seriously doubt that entropy has anything to do with it.

The kinetic energy is mostly absorbed by the whole suit, some of it becoming heat. The whole "supersonic" thing is a bit ridiculous, but he could also be shedding the heat some way.

I'm only RPing by myself because, like I've said, I don't know where anyone else in the city is, and they haven't introduced themselves yet. Until someone else talks to me, I have to RP by myself.

You know, you sure are telling people how they have to play their characters a lot for a non-GM. Could you please not try to tell me how I have to play this RP?

@TheUnknowable

Excuse me, then. If you don't like the discussion I'll stop.

Either way, check my latest IC post and you may find something out.

Alas poor wolf! We hardly knew ye.

Also, it's not like adding a lot of bling will make RPG become main stream.

Roleplaying is a hobby of a sliver of the population, the argument that adding more features will attract more players is likely the emptiest one. What it would do is push people who like to take it ease away from here.

After all, you really think that we will ever get to Iwaku's levels of cumbersomeness someday? There's a pretty obvious reason why I'm here and not there.

Winds of Change: A Re:Creators-Inspired Multiverse RP

@Raineh Dazenever heard anyone say that it would require more fuel to run a smaller reactor, and don't see how entropy would apply. I'd like to see anyone present a reason why that would be so.

And he doesn't pancake himself with acceleration because he only pulls a few Gs at most, maybe 10, which a fit human can easily withstand, especially with an acceleration suit, which the suit is.

@TheUnknowable

Have you ever studied graduate level thermodynamics? If you did you wouldn't be making these questions. Actually, not, just take your phone and ask yourself why it's not running on a fusion reactor. That should be enough.

Also, where the kinetic energy from the hits that the suit takes go? Just answer your self that. Or how can he fly faster than Raptor without burning himself to a crisp because of friction.

@PKMNB0YOk, here's my basic plan.

1) Tyr and Tony get a hotel room to use as a base of operations.
2) Tony goes to a pawn shop and Radio Shack to get a cheap laptop and cat 5 cable to connect to the hotel's internet while Tyr goes grocery shopping (master chef and all that).
3) They find out that the NYPD is offering a $20k for information leading to the arrest of an "Andre Petrov". A quick google search shows that he manages a shipping business at the docks here in the Bronx.
4) they hatch a plan for Tyr to sneak in and plug a wireless transceiver into his computer, so Jarvis can hack in an look for evidence.
5) Tyr manages to do that, but trips a silent alarm and draws in guards. (he can't recognize our infrared or motion sensors.)
6) Tony has to suit up and help him fight his way out.
7) After they hand over the info, they learn that Petrov was part of the Russian Mafia and that they just made a new enemy.
8) They get a proper apartment and Tony starts building simple tech to sell to local companies, the first being a more efficient battery charging circuit he'll license to Panasonic.

@TheUnknowable

Doesn't this relies on your characters puppeteering a lot of NPCs to work? Also, playing the RP basically on your own, too. I Don't know, but there seems to be something about this that doesn't feel very much like a group roleplay at all. I can't imagine what, though.

World-Building Section

Man, this thread is golden. I love it when someone asks for opinions but is not willing to listen.

Anyway, let me throw my chip into this discussion, if only so that my post isn't declared off-topic and "not to be entertained".

You know why I like the Guild? It's because it's simple. The more stuff you add on it, the harder it gets to use, so I'd rather not have to keep tabs of another section of this forum is possible. Even though I appreciate the quality writing of many members, this is not a novelists' community, we don't need more sections dedicated to fluff when the ones we have work.

Next stop would be what, separating RPs in sub-forums for each genre so that people can know better where to post their sci fi, or fantasy RP?

Also, why not do your world building on your own RPs? Where the players are several times more likely to actually pay attention to it.

Plus, the way I'm seeing your arguments, you are saying that those who don't use a World Building section don't do world building, which is a fallacy.

100% in favor of adding tabs to other sections, though. It has been my long lasting dream to be able to do tabbed RPing PMs, and I can only see the system helping in other environments. But, another section is a big no. EW is already there to make us scroll down to reach the RPs for no reason, I don't think we need more.

At least I don't.

Actually, I take that back. That is not all. I should be able to permit a select few of people to add or edit the creations. So when I make a thread, if I have co-GMs or friends building it with me, there should be a function to allow them to edit the post. Similar to how co-GMs are added to a game. Co-GMs given permission by the OP would allow for collaborative writing without the need for a third-party program. If you are running a website, you want people to use your website more versus using other websites. It is business practice. The better your features, the more users will come to your site.

@Holy Soldier

We still can't even add more than 2 co-GMs, have the abilities for a GM to do more than 10 bans, or delete posts from their own RP. Don't you think that you are making a bit of a tall order just to satisfy your ego?

And there we have it, Meteora's dynamic entry is done.

Please, tell me if there's something hard to understand on that post. Recap-like stuff can feel convoluted at times but I guess that it was needed for a good explanation for why post-anime Meteora is in this.

Also, I tried to follow some tips from @PKMNB0Y while making the narration feel as Meteora style as possible, which may not have the best effect until I get a better grasp of her.

Meteora Österreich

---

"I guess that's what I would call irony," Meteora Österreich, the Great Sage of the End of the World, thought as she adjusted her glasses and observed the commotion caused by a certain man in a Starbucks Store. Things were developing just as she expected, however, an explanation about how this situation got to the point it is now would be good; if only to make the narrative feel less contrived.

A few days ago...

Meteora had finished the manuscript for a follow-up novel in the critically acclaimed series she began writing as soon as the Military Uniform Princess incident was resolved. While her work was undoubtedly good, it still lacked mass-market appeal, or so her editor said. Perhaps, if they could convince some investor to back up an anime project, the series could reach new heights of recognition.

There was only one problem with this idea, the domestic market was way too overcrowded. All major studios were booked full for the next two or three years and no media company wanted to back a project that didn't involve little sisters, parallel worlds, stupidly long titles, or all of these combined. In fact, Meteora's greatest nemesis in the editorial market was an obnoxious series named: "No way!? Are you saying that I got sent to a Parallel World where a frilly-dressed dragon is my little sister?"

Which such kind of low blow competition, there was no way that Meteora's work would get the eyes of the domestic industry. Her ray of hope came from the fact that the overseas sales of her series were growing exponentially in the past few months, which prompted Meteora's editor to arrange a trip to an anime convention in New York, where Meteora would be holding an autograph session for her newest novel and possibly try to convince some foreign backers, to invest in an anime adaptation.

Everything was well and good until Meteora's plane met an unexpected storm right before arriving in New York. The last thing she remembered from the flight was a blinding flash as the aircraft was hit by a lightning bolt.

Once Meteora woke up, she found herself sprawled on the roof of an unknown building somewhere in Manhattan. How she arrived there, or what happened to the remainder of the passengers where mysteries that she didn't have the answers for. However, she knew that at least something was out of order: She had her powers back, as was evidenced when she found the Book of a Thousand Miles right by her side, along with her hand baggage from the flight.

Whether this was the Hair Mop Princess' fault once again, or someone else's, the only sensible thing to do was to lay low and find a place where she could get information for free and something to eat. Considering that her phone didn't have any reception, but still worked in perfect order, what would be a better place to begin than a Starbucks store?

And so we get back to the present time and to Meteora's newest adventure, which was about to begin with she walking to the same barista that was currently dealing with mister not-celebrity and asking, "Excuse me for the interruption, could I have another one of these, please?" while pointing to what must have been her fifth or sixth breakfast order in the span of less than a half hour.

While Meteora waited for the woman's reply, she turned to mister not-celebrity and gave him a critical look from head to toes to ascertain that this armor wasn't a hoax. "That's a fine costume. Would you mind if I ask where you bought it?" Meteora asked in a casual way, to gauge 'Iron Man's' reaction.
