To be fair, they voted to set off the nuke and then immediately leave, so at least you won't be there when everyone comes to investigate!

WE VOTED IN THE "MAKE A NUKE AND SET IT OFF" PLAN
See my clarification above - was supposed to be only the Deathenators/Youthenizers. Though @eaglejarl may want to do this anyways...
*stares at the screen in stunned silence*
...oh.
Wh-which nuke? Was it one with a blast radius we can outpace?
- Location
- Yes.
It's a nuke.
Since when did people have the ability to outrun nukes?
The smallest one was the only one intended to be tested when I added it to the plan:
First, make and test fire in a macerator. Estimated testing time: ~20 minutes. Estimated impact: moderate thermobaric weapon (great ball of fire, likely lethal up to 20 meters away)
- Test Deathenators/Youthenizers
- Make a box with a thin MEW layer on the bottom of it (to keep it from catching fire)
- Build a bonfire in the box using enough wood that it barely fits in a 100 kg storage seal
- Set the wood on fire
- After a couple minutes, while it is burning vigorously, have a clone seal it into a Macerator
- Use a clone to unseal the Macerator at our old base (from maximum clone distance away, with defenses set up between us and the clone)

And then be accused of being brainwashed into a cult when we say things like "less wrong" and "not even wrong" and "on priors I think the main issue here is that your model of yourself doesn't vary with new observations"
Madness.

Ah. Yes, that seems reasonable. You said that it gave "not that much mechanical advantage", which is what I was reacting to.
Ah, thank you. I had missed that, yes.
True, but God-Breaking Wind might be.
We are going to test using our best clone user, right? Right, guys?

I don't understand?
Our page number didn't increase past 2017, the numerical value of the current year, until today. Now we're at page 2018, therefore we have "more pages than years".

Yeah, unacceptable. Mentally docking @eaglejarl Bayes Points on that one. Should definitely update on his ability to co-found and maintain a vibrant community over the course of literal years.

EJ was doubtful the thread would continue to accumulate replies as quickly as it did initially. This has turned out to be an innacurate doubt.
Eh. March 2017 was basically an aberration.
I wouldn't count on 6,500 posts in one month as a regular thing, given my belief that we basically exhausted any evergreen source of new players. You could squint your eyes at the graph and see that we are growing, but it could just be we're growing as Sufficient Velocity grow.
But we are near the climax of an arc that was long time coming, and we could kill or seriously injure ourselves with a thermobaric bomb.
So there is a potential for triggering a new record and making April even bigger than March.
