((I meant that this RP is done in terms of getting new membership, however the story itself seems to be stagnating, as is evident by the lack of posts.))

((Yeah, we need more intermediates. Hardcore scares away everyone who isn't hardcore (See: Over half the people here), and Casual is only good for "Roleplayer's ____" type things. Intermediate works best for stuff like this, as long as it;s a little bit on the hard side. The fact is, nobody is like that anymore, It's just Casual or Hardcore. We are clinging to the past, but if we could somehow get others to join in then this could work. Of course, it would be a good idea to restart this whole 200-something page dual-roleplay series all over again, so that we, you know, can research stuff that we can imagine at our current level of intellectual development.))

((Eggxactly. I just think that this RP, at its current point in time, has lost pretty much all accessibility. Its not hardcore enough, and the RP is too long to read or too awkward to integrate into. Fishfam/S.A.T.I.R.E was an example of this. The wiki also is not complete enough to fully give a potential RP'er the means to easily see what has happened, it is nowhere near that point yet.

I also believe that a restart could be in order (under a different name.) However I don't exactly want to go on the same path of technological development as we did before. You know, railguns>fusion reactors>energy to matter conversion engineering etc.))

((This sounds interesting, might make a app later (got to go right now)

(( Hey remember how the time travel was unstable and brought people into the far future or far history- what if a person tried to time travel one last time, and brought everyone back to 1900 AD, with no memory of what happened ))

((Then we would have more than a space station right now. I'd say, oh, around a TYPE 3 CIVILIZATION WITH DOZENS OF SUBSERVIENT SPECIES. Anyways, in the original RP, I made my replicators way too OP. They became like Malkrantia's cloaked missiles: Presumably extremely expensive, but surprisingly abundant. If we restart the RP, I'll portray the replicators in a more realistic fashion, requiring overseers for everything made and much more energy, because making a hamburger using a replicator would need about the same amount of energy it would take to destroy a city.))

((The miniaturized fusion reactor also had a part to play in the OP-ness of the the replicators. I don't even think energy to matter conversion is possible, let alone efficient enough to facilitate supporting a population of trillions of people. With the dyson sphere it might be possible, but if we restart it would have to be very late game.))

(( We need some kind of territory limit. That would reduce how OP everyone has gotten. Alternate History, The Game handled this pretty well. Wars weren't who had more, but who had alliances. Wars were decided by a vote, but the side with the most people fighting for it needed less of the votes to win. Territory was taken depending on how close the victory was, and the nation could only be destroyed completely in landslide victories. Just throwing ideas out there. ))

((Agreed, replicators are far too powerful. Nanobot replicators are the way to go, but only in mid game.))

(( Are you suggesting that we start back in the beginning of time, like the alternate history roleplay? ))

((No, back to the beginning of the original Untold Empires RP I believe. I think the territory limit is a good idea, however we would also need a new name, at least I think so. I never liked the name Untold Empires anyway.

Maybe we should stop talking in OOC or move to the OOC thread if were going to discuss ending the RP.))

Sirius cant go supernova it's not high mass

only massive stars can supernova

Sirius will go red giant then nebula planetary then white dwarf

*groan*

Okay, a couple of things.

First of all, all stars go 'supernova' depending on what you consider a supernova.

A star will explode at the end of its life no matter what mass it is, which is often considered 'nova'.

A planetary nebula does not decay into a white dwarf. What happens is that the part of a red giant that you see will be blown off into a planetary nebula; the core of the star will collapse into a white dwarf.




Second, Sirius (if you'd done your homework) is actually a fairly massive star as stars go. The stellar classification sequence, given as OBAFGKM (from most to least massive), classifies Sirius as a type A star. Compared to the Sun's G type. G type stars make up about 7.6% of the Milky Way's stars, whereas A type stars make up only 0.6%.

On another topic, stars need to be ~2 solar masses to turn into a black hole once they explode, so Sirius is just at that mass (2.02 solar masses.)



tl;dr: All stars to supernova depending on how you classify, and nebulae don't turn into white dwarfs. Sirius, however, is massive enough to go supernova and turn into a black hole

Wait, I thought this was long dead?

Well someone was wrong on the internet! You know I had to step in and correct it!
