The galaxy, as i have constructed it, has several concentric zones.
Closest to the core are the Unthinking Depths, in which human-level
intelligence is impossible. Then comes the Slow Zone. We live near the
outer edge of the Slow Zone. Intelligence in this zone is limited to the
human level: Super-intelligent computers or beings cannot function here,
and neither can faster-than-light travel. (To avoid multiplying hypotheses
unnecessarily, i posits that the *mechanics* of ftl travel may be
possible, but that they are useless without impossibly intensive computational
support.) After the Slow Zone comes the Beyond, where ftl travel is possible,
but the achievement of the last increments of super-intelligence are not,
and finally the Transcend, where no limitations are imposed. The inhabitants
of the Transcend, species that have merged into a single race-mind, for
instance, are incomprehensible to those who live in the lower zones, and
generally indifferent to them.

The anarchic galaxy-wide computer communications network whose tone will be familiar to anyone on this network. Its traffic naturally includes endless and fruitless debate and speculation on the
origin of the zones.) There is speculation that they are artifacts,possibly possessed of an intelligence of their own. (Would any simple mechanism prevent *any* approach to super-intelligence from succeeding?)
There is speculation that they exist to protect developing species from the
casual interference of the Transcendent Powers, which cannot function or
exist in the lower reaches.

i thought the beings at the bottom of the
Slow Zone had lower intelligence than those at the top, but this was
incorrect. The effects of the zones are uniform, except for the
transistion zones, which are only a few light-years wide. Beyond is losing speed as it flies inward. What is happening here is that as it flies through the transition zone, it is taking longer and longer
for the computers to plot each micro-jump, giving a slower effective speed.
(There are some obvious problems with this, and i admit that i have not
bothered to fix them.)

 

Care to explain what that is then?

 

(Sorry 'bout doing this, Sheriff...)

Nice cut 'n' paste job!

Next time, try writing something intelligent!

You just joined today and you already got banished to the void??? That must be some kind of record.

 

The fact that he joined the forum, and spammed it to hell with loads senseless posts and looking to start flame wars is exactly why he got banned. You cannot think that you will be let on any kind of probation when you trash the forum from day one.

 

It still has to be a record. I know , but he did it so fast.

 

Who??? Jinxed, is there any way to get unbanished from the void? What does being banished to the void do to you?

Well, it entails you being banned from the forum...

 

Other than that. Does it keep you from doing something?

 

Keep you from doing what? He is banned from the forum. He may not enter the forum for he is banned. The End.

 

Can you still post anonymously (in the forums that allow it) if you are banished?

 

I don't think you can enter the forum.

 

No, just wondering because I hate the type of spammy bitches that post useless crap.

*kicks everyone in the bum for not letting this floater sink*

after some thought

*kicks himself in the bum*

 

Yes there is

 

Speak of the devil!

loo has returned, apparently...did you even leave loo, or were you just lurking the whole time?

 

How do you get unbanished? eksept of kidnapping a dwarven clan?

 

loo was once banished to the void, but obviously, is back now. His crime: spam. That, and newbie-bashing.
