No no, now you HAVE to play a sci-fi game with planetary exploration. And post here about it.

Sounds like you want exploration. In theory any well done setting could provide you with a regional scale exploration as well as continental or planetary. It sounds like a real pain coming up with not only a new situation, but a new detailed planet.

Have you ever looked at Blue Planet? Its just one planet more or less, but they put a ton of solid sci-fi detail into it.

What is the functional difference between takes place on one planet, and many? Or takes place on one ship/gathering of ships (like BSG)?

Is it travel time? The ability to do stupid shit on one place and to outspeed and anonymize out of it at the next setting?

Sounds like Firefly is right out, that's all in one system, even if they the life zone is so large it contains ten planets and if one goes completely dead silent for a few years no one will notice.

@Auspice If you didn't inflict that desire on someone else, its your emotions, and that's that. You have both the reaction to that death, and a more complicated and adult evaluation of that reaction. You didn't turn around and start telling everyone you disliked they should die.

Every person I have ever arranged to PK has quit before the event. We didn't even get to the "see, i am serious, i will try to end you, let's negotiate instead" phase).

ETA: I lie. There was a crazed new vampire who would not listen even when confronted with many others, and so was staked, and mysteriously self ignited while staked, encased in cement and buried in mud under a pond, and then quit. But that was really out of the blue, some vampire is showing off the powers in public right now stuff.

I will take a stance -against- cancer.

I have a newfound respect and feelings of camaraderie and friendship towards you. Whoever you are.

It was meant as an either/or question, but the explanation answered my question. I wonder where Greg Egan falls.

@Ominous So this definition uses only what is known to be possible, or what has a reasonable chance of being possible?

Anteres wants its light sabers back. Or Isaac Asimov does, if you insist on popular consumption being how you "introduce" anything.

My usual definition is "what could we plausibly become, given plausible or implausible changes to our technology or understanding of reality?"

Data needs reformed how? Whatever it is, there are repeatable steps, and I among others can do it.

Do not doubt the power of the monkey!

Pull all attributes, assign temporary new names, map to new functions after?

Given traffic in LA, you should choose a neighborhood. It takes hours to get across the city.And nobody's walking in LA.

I can also do monkey work to help out formatting files or whatever.

Very sad about him. Young, talented, and so much potential for life.

If it makes you feel any better, you are always self cannibalizing, whether defined as swallowing parts of yourself, or metabolizing parts of yourself for materials.

In other news "Saliva causes cancer, but only if swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time."

Just a note: WoW is a curated video game play (MUD) experience meaning to hold players attention directly, by code controlled content. The main attraction of RP MU*s are the other players. Keeping players together is a good goal, despite the weirdness of constantly running into the same few dozen characters in a city of hundreds, hundreds or thousands, or millions.

TLDR; Don't just emulate WoW. It isn't the same kind of game at all.

@WildBaboons What isn't economically feasible, and why?

Such things are up to the world curators to make possible, in whatever way necessary.

I even offered a thigie on handling the economics of distant trade to @Apos.

Now that sounds thrilling.
