I've red up on that thing. It's hilariously ghetto.
Retreating Iraqi forces set alight every oil well as they retreated during the Gulf War, and they were very hard to extinguish. so a Hungarian company strapped two MiG jet engines to an old soviet tank to blow the fires out.

Dragon Sector

Dragon Sector is a section of the Ethanthova/TND border, and one of the only sectors with a road. Because of this feature, it is also one of the more strongly guarded.
Ethanthova's military is mostly defensive and consists mainly of reservists and territorial battalions, but the border is one of the very few constantly staffed, around-the-clock military engagements Ethanthova employs other than training exercises. All security sectors feature a small facility located on a high fence, consisting of barracks, mess hall, and armoury. It is unknown how the TND operates it's border security but it appears to be similar to the one utilised by Ethanthova; evedropped radio communications reveal there are 'Kringr' and 'Jonarr' sectors or checkpoints to their threshold.
At 1326 hours on Monthy 7th, [year], Dragon Sector very nearly became the setting for battle as Ethanthovan troops spotted unknown armoured vehicles on TND side of the border, stationed units must record anything out of the ordinary to send to command's servers for review.
Dragon Sector, being on a road route into and out of the TND, has a tank destroyer stationed and maintained on a monthly basis to deter any assault via the opening. Dragon's staff rolled out the vehicle into full view to ensure opposing border units could see it, this resulted in TND armour being lined up on their side facing Dragon Sector's guard facility.
Threatened and wary, Ethanthovan units called for immediate air superiority to ward off any potential attack at the sector, within minutes two ground attack craft were dispatched to fly over the location at regular intervals.
At 1400 the TND units pulled away and the aircraft returned to base. This event could very well have esculated differently. It was later discovered that the vehicles causing the worry were a previously unseen type of TND tank that to this day, it's capabilities are unknown. Such vehicles have never been seen at the border since.

No intention to offend but that looks remotely similar to Nazi Germany's war flag.

just thought it might be worth considering.

I don't really like the idea of getting seconds and hours into Universalis, the whole idea of dividing the day into 24 segments, then those into divisions of 60 units, that seems pretty silly, and it seems unlikely that some other space civ would decide to divide its day that way identically to humans. How long it takes humans to develop should also be rather irrelevant for a space civ. (then again I'm not sure if actual humans inhabit Universalis. It wouldn't make sense but I can see that it'd be easier than making up new species and all that.)

If it's simply a tool to help us convert from Earth to Universalis, that's fine, but I don't think we should base our decisions around such conversion. I'm not sure how Universalis time even has any connection to Earth time, if it doesn't, it seems rather irrelevant.

just using seconds is nice as a division of time. seconds that are equal to seconds on earth would be nice so as not to require rederiving a lot of constants

Bla · « **Reply #1366 on:** January 22, 2014, 03:51:22 PM »

Rederiving? Why? Shouldn't it simply be converting if we just have a conversion factor? And why is it even important to be able to recycle Earth-values for constants, aren't they rather unimportant for the fiction we're going to write for our countries?

It doesn't seem logical to me how aliens on another planet would come to use Earth seconds. The more we can limit our re-use of Earthly standards, the more realistic it's going to be.

I think we're trying too hard to make Universalis unique, it's just going to end up a morass of complicated concepts. Which is why I haven't done anything Universalis related in months.

I think it's a tough predicament. I don't want just a copy of earth, but creating an entire world is really complex! It involves a lot if you want to create anything from scratch and be believable. Migration of people, diplomacy, languages, climate, anything. Everything involves innumerable variables based upon every other thing.
