[OOC] The Heroes of Beacon

[The Irish Tree]

And now you can lay your weary heads to rest...so y'all can kill shit tomorrow.
Also, noted Guess. That's three on the list now.

[Lugubrious]

Dagnabbit! A time skip right in the middle of my confrontation with NPCs. Can I at least finish it before I catch up to bedtime?

Yeah. I'm just trying to move this along, so just go ahead and finish that up.

[Lugubrious]

Bonus points for whoever gets my reference in my last paragraph.

[KabenSaal]

Hansen and Gretchen seems reminiscent of Hansel and Gretel.

[Flamelord]

Obvious reference is obvious. But then again this show hasn't been very subtle in that area, so it's excusable.

No kidding! It's almost like their names, appearances, and weapons were pretty much directly based off the fairy tale characters...

And yet you said I get bonus points. But really, I only looked at the bottom paragraph.

[Pathfinder]

Hey guys, I'm sorry to say this but I'm just not really enjoying this RP like I thought I would. With everything happening IRL stacked on top of that I'm going to have to back out, sorry for wasting everyone's time and messing up the teams. Do with Conrad what you will.

Oh no, that wasn't the reference. The whole bit about plotting is a reference to Red vs Blue, specifically Tex talking about the Reds.

Well, I understand, and I can only hope that your IRL stuff goes better man.

[nichinichisou]

I'm sorry. Vacation, so I was gone for a bit.. Also, I wanted you guys to hear this.

---

Imagine my arm is a timeline.
And at the beginning of my arm is the start of defined time
Where the only beings were dinos and flying mites.
Now.
50,000 years later, where beings are now civilized
The smoke age, we could say, there's practically no ice.
And then there were these people, call them Americans
And they were controlled by the fat king of Great Britian.
But they wanted to be free, that's what they realized.
So then they went and made a country, and it was all...fine?

Now, let us not go into that story.
Now, millions of years later, on my hand
There are now futuristic objects
Since with Moore's law, we get better man-mades.
And while computers can get better and better due to Moore's law
They will soon surpass the capabilites of right now
To the extent of computers being able to make a computerized world.
The Matrix.

Now, get this.
How do we know if we are in the middle, living life to the future
Or millions of years later, trying to live an interesting life in a computer.
Maybe there was a program, making us start over
Making up history, putting futuristic objects in the middle
Maybe we didn't even have these objects in the smoke age in the first run
Maybe for the second run, in the computerized world, they put some objects to help us evolve again.
So we may be in a computerized run of humanity.

Moore's law was a prediction, yes
So maybe this is all fictional
Or maybe Moore's law was made by a futuristic being coming into the past, to predict this and make it real. Maybe nobody believed him.
Maybe this is true.
Or maybe you think I am stupid.

But have a think; this is an interest concept in my opinion, and I just simply wanted to share it.

Did it not make sense? Or did it not make sense because your brain is insignificant and you cannot understand? But no, we have intelligence, so your brain is as significant as ours, so you can fully understand it. Or make it understandable.

Muh brain...also, yeah, that sounds pretty much like the Matrix. Did you write this up yourself?

Its based off a video made by Boyinaband. The same concept, different style of storytelling.

[Lucius Cypher]

Well this seems to fall under a sort of Schrodinger Cat phenomenon. On one hand, the theory is possible; creating a virtual reality, which can be detailed as need be by those who inhabit it, has already been done. Them being aware of it, with proof or not, happens even now. Now, we might think it's just funny when VR characters break the fourth wall. But for that character, is he really aware of the fact that he's a VR character, or does he, like if we do it ourselves in real life, merely doing it as a gag, thinking it as nothing more than a meta joke? Such a thing cannot be determined until observed directly, which itself may influence the outcome.

In one way we have no way to prove that this theory is correct. It is not to say that the theory is impossible. As Arthur C. Clarke, Sci-fi author, once stated (Or at least has been attributed by the following quote), "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Magic, in this case, not necessarily being something as so fantastical as such things like flight or the manipulation of elements, rather, merely events and phenomenon that we have yet to fully understand or even begin to discover. In this instance, it may be appropriate to rephrase the quote as "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from our perceived reality."

By this I mean that our very existence could, as I've mentioned before, could be a virtual reality, albeit using technology advance enough to give us the impression of what some might call "Freedom". Some of those of us who believe that we do not have such a thing, such as our current level of AI technology not truly being free, rather merely operating within it's fullest ability within their programming, may call this "Fate". The naming is changeable, but the purpose is typically the same; Some believe because we can create a choice, that we are not being controlled by any forces aside our own. Others may think that, despite what we can do, our ultimate ability to effect the world is limited by powers that, while vague and possibly nonexistent, is merely only because the powers-that-be permits us to do so.

Also Lowkey you need to post in my RWBY RP if you're back. I'd like that, please.

So, just curious, would it be possible to add a fourth person in queue (a.k.a. me) and create a new team out of that? Or do you feel like that would be too much to handle, I understand if it is, I'm just interested and offering a possible solution.

[KabenSaal]

Unlimited death! Infinite lootable corpses!

Unfortunate, no. 4 teams is going to be a lot to manage, along with writing up a coherent thought. I'll be more than happy to put you on the queue though

[phillmyster]

so, what do we do with Conrad, Do i just take control of his character for now?

Uh...Conrad's going to be removed from your team, and Alice's character will replace them. I;m really sorry, he and Blake had a total bromance in the works. But, i guess for now control him until the next day comes.
