>>31914018I was thinking it could be a could be a mixture of cultures, but that is fine too.
My idea was that perhaps the island was inhabited and deserted multiple times in its history, with each subsequent civilization building at top the ruins of the previous ones. The deeper you dig the older and more bizarre ruins you find. Also, now retroreich and the Serene Republic would be the current "civilization" on the island, meaning that in the Era After universe or some other future timeline, our ruins could be discovered by some future archaeologists
>>31914900Kino, I like it.
>>31917090>>31917414>>31917803Now its the risuner telling us its a world building thread
the end times are truly coming.
But yes, guys, please, follow the bump limit rule.
>>31918539You may want to take a little break. A few days, thinking about something else. When the thought of writing becomes stressful is when I feel like the block becomes worse, so I recommend you avoid that pitfall.
Take a walk while listening to music, and think about things in a relaxing setting.
>>31924109I feel you deadbeat, I also liked the slower more on-topic threads, although it may be because I'm bad at forming social connections so I cant help but feel a bit left out.
However, the new(er) guys have contributed a lot to the project, and the world feels much more alive thanks to them, even though with more life it has also become more stressful.
If it meant losing their contributions to the project, I would not want to trade them to get back the earlier more comfy threads.
>>31928352god I fucking love /meat/ heads, one of my favorite group of posters here.
>>31931168You know, I dont think teleportation of the photons should be the answer, I think moving or bending them works way better. Besides, photons move so fast there is no reason to use teleportation instead of just conventionally moving them there.
>>31931204Freezing photons is a bit of a no, you could slow them down considerably though.
>>31931546this could work
but if you want the photons trick, here is how I'd do it from the physics perspective, step by step
I do not know if this all would be possible in the magic system, or what would be needed for it to work.
>1. The glyphs are activated, and the glyphs create a "bubble" around the ship. Part of the photons that hit the bubble get slowed down by a lot, but not entirely stopped. The photons are trapped in the bubble and move with it, and the bubble moves with the ship
>an outsider will see the ship become less saturated, and perhaps a bit transparent. (as in, seeing the scenery behind the ship, not seeing inside the ship) Probably not noticeable unless you know what you are looking for. >those aboard the ship will see the rest of the universe behave the same way, become less saturated and so on. >2. After enough photons have been collected, a second set of glyphs is activated, this untethers the previous bubble from the ship and creates a new one. This new bubble is completely reflective on the inside, meaning that the photons sent off by the ship bounce inside of the bubble. On the outside the bubble is either reflective or transparent or it bends light in a way that it allows the photons coming from behind the ship to travel through and around the bubble.
The first bubble starts to decay, releasing its photons.
>an outsider will see the ship slow down, and perhaps stop. They are now only seeing the first bubble and the photons that were trapped in it being released. As time passes, the visage of the ship becomes less and less saturated and more and more transparent.>what an outsider is seeing is a replay of of what the ship did during the "charging" period (step 1), but with the movement of the bubble. You probably could have the bubble move on its own a bit, perhaps in a different direction than the ship was, so the mechanic could be a bit more powerful.
>those aboard the ship will see the world as if they were inside a box made of mirrors. Its completely dark unless the ship has lights.>3.The new bubble is destroyed, revealing the ship again.
>an outsider will see the ship appear again in a new location where it was not previously. The visage of the ship may or may not still be around. I say no to teleportation.
Also, I miss cunt.
OHAYO VTWBG! How are all your projects coming along?
