@Whoami Do you mind answering this question:

...what happens to the body of a killed Immortal and where does he respawn after two days?

@Whoami,

That's fair enough. As I already said, I didn't want to seem arrogant, I only expressed my thoughts regarding the plot and what I personally think is possible and impossible. Perhaps I should have expressed myself differently so I suppose it's a good time to bring up that I'm not a native English speaker.
My additions were meant to be proposals to you so it is up to you whether they are implemented or not. Thank you for elaborating on your thought process, I didn't see it that way. Now that that's out of the way, I'll be working on a character sheet, that is if I'm still welcome after this little "scuffle".
I don't even know what's going on.

Honestly, neither do I and I was a part of it.
That also happens if you write it like that, it's really not hard to say or explain things nicely. Offering to make a diagram for me, calling it a "simple" irrefutable fact, using the phrase "also nonsense" in reference to the OP. These are the tools of condescension. Nobody asked you to "fix" this RP because it's not broken, the rest of us are here because we like the OP and if you don't then I don't know what you're doing here.

Are you this hostile in real life? Jesus.
I said what I said, if you think I was condescending that's your problem because it certainly wasn't my intention. I pointed out a few inconsistencies for the sake of the Roleplay and gave valid options on how to correct them and you are attacking me because of what? This isn't even your Roleplay. The GM asked for ideas and I provided some (lore included), so what is your issue with me, exactly?
@Xilaw Well, you seem rather condescending and pedantic so I'll leave any further discussion on the topic to @Whoami. And, simply put, if you don't want to be here then don't.

I wasn't trying to be. If you project a certain voice to a post then it tends to sound the way you make it out to be.
I was pointing out some flaws in the OP and offered ways to fix it. No need to get personal.

Have you read the OP? The whole goal of our character's is to prevent expansion onto other planets.

Well, I didn't suggest people colonize other planets, rather they harness their resources and bring them to Earth. I believe I already read in the OP that our drones have been actively travelling through the universe.

As for technology, with advanced filtering capabilities which would likely be present in the future water will be completely recyclable (read up on the ISS' water supply). As for food, genetically modified crops have already proved to be the way of the future in the mass production of food, as long as we limited food-waste we wouldn't have a problem sustaining a larger population (American throws away 40% of its food).

No matter how much we progress in technology our planet cannot sustain our ever increasing population. That's a simple irrefutable fact. Thomas Malthus, a revered economist, calculated that human population tends to grow exponentially whereas our ability to feed ourselves tends to grow linearly. I could make you a diagram to explain it if you like.
It's not just the way to make food, clearly in the OP there's no room to make it. The entire planet is one giant city, which is also nonsense since our current population can fit in a city size of LA. There's plenty of room for people on the planet.

Really bloody advanced, that's the level.

It would bloody have to be to be able to sustain 14 billion people on it. We don't even have the resources to sustain the 7 billion of today. I propose you at least have some lore in regards to this, e.g mining facilities on other planets and, more importantly, fresh water supplies coming from other planets since there's no way in hell there'd be enough fresh water on Earth by 6000s let alone to sustain twice as many people. At least for the sake of realism (no idea why I'm insisting on it considering the plot, but it bugs me) let's say humans have been bringing fresh water from Europa, Jupiter's moon, which allegedly might have oceans of water beneath it's icy surface.
Then there's the problem with food. Apparently all of Earth is one giant urban area (which is unrealistic even with 14 billion people), that means there's no place for agriculture.
Maybe I missed it, but what happens to the body of a killed Immortal and where does he respawn after two days?

Oh, and interested.
I don't know. I never imagined it like that. Plus my classes start soon and I will be less active on the forum as a result. I'm not sure I can go through with it at this point. I'm willing to pass the RP to you if you want to host it yourself, though?
