All of that comes together to hint at what I think is probably the most impressive aspect of the Stimpire. At least 7 billion people die every 12 hours, according to the original writeup. The reproduction rate of citizens in the Stimpire has to be loving prodigious to support that. Stimperial Citizens must be constantly loving all the time, and they must have some kind of shortened gestation period.

Someone needs to do a timeline of the rise of the Fourth Stimpire. I enjoy that we've fleshed this out so much more than the original lunatic that wrote it.

Main question I have is if banks are open and mail gets delivered on July 14th?

There haven't been any cattes for a while, so here's mine.

She used to have all black whiskers, then about 3 years ago (when she was about 8 years old) she suddenly grew 1 white whisker, then another then another until she had replaced all her whiskers from black to white. Cat's have their reasons.

That's a good question. Is the July 14th birthday just arbitrary or is it a Stimperial holiday?

I remain convinced that SC is successful because Chris Roberts has successfully found a group of people who can't tell the difference between something that is promised and something that is delivered.

It's the people that say the game is out that just make me die inside. Those people ugh... that Derek Smart and Me video has the author and Derek arguing about the game in the comments and the author of the video literally say the game is out, all it needs is more content/a light coat of paint.

Uh-huh... there is such a level of desperation they will say a pre alpha bug fest is the promised game. That is where my sympathies die: a pock marked, burnt barb wire strewn battlefield littered with the corpses of promises and concept art.

This is accurate. My late grandfather lived about 40 miles north of Houston, and the only dining options were Applebee's, McDonald's, and a local Tex Mex place. Most people for some ungodly reason seemed to prefer Applebee's, and its walls were a shrine to the local high school football team.

Being from Houston proper, I REALLY noticed how terrible it was. There was no use in pointing out that if you wanted to do something fun, all you had to do was drive half an hour to an hour to find good restaurants, the theatre district, the museum district, the zoo, the beach, etc. They just drew in and focused on the local high school football team. It gave me the creeps, honestly.

That was the other creepy part. I don't think I ever saw a non-white person anywhere around that small town. My grandfather was fairly racist as well. Not to lynch mob levels, but inappropriate comments. I remember telling him once that I missed the big pine trees in Houston, and he said "Well Austin does have some nice trees, but they're all black." I thought he literally meant the trees were black until he clarified that he meant black neighborhoods. It was offensive as well as inaccurate.

That is a good cat.

My Bolie had two white whiskers, one over each eye, when he was a kitten. They looked like antennae. They're kind of hard to see in photos.

They either fell out or changed color when he grew up.

When it comes down to it the number of hours of squadron 42 episode 1 is for you to decide. You're the one who closes the game. And if you close it before the 80 hour mark, you betrayed chris crobert's Vision, and that's on you :colbert:

I think at this point, we need to look into establishing a select few individuals to preside over contributions to the Stimpire in order to validate them in the spirit of the original canon. Granted, the original lore and work laid out before us is in most regards is beyond reproach. But like most great documents in our past, there are several areas that are open to interpretation. And, as we know, interpretation and speculation is not for the faint of heart in the Stimpire.

This would ensure the founding father's intent is not trampled upon. And more importantly, deliver the vetted lore our future generations deserve.
