Just realized something.
The HMRC was before the rebellion essentially the ASOIAF Night's Watch IN SPAAAACE.

So who among us is Jon Snow? We need to know so we can kill him.
And on that topic, who is John Galt?

That's more than 14 atoms. Either that or Captain 'merica's shield is so little vibranium it makes no difference.
I don't know what to say about that first part. Yes, it is. Your research is Brownian in accuracy.
Obviously Cap's shield has a significant amount of vibranium in it.

Francium has 14 naturally occurring atoms on the planet.
I wonder who counted them all?
The Xantalos Department of Making Up Numbers?
As to how they actually figured it out, Francium is naturally formed only by radioactive decay. Figure out how much of the uranium ores containing francium there is and how fast they turn into Francium, then how long it takes them to turn into whatever they turn into.

Now wait. Once the horde is in sight, transform a piece of rock in front of them into pure Hydrogen (tritium), then force it into fusion by pushing it together with pressure and increasing the temperature (if hydrogen fusion is too taxing to get done, go for plutonium fission instead).
Finally, use manip to create a small shield to direct the blast to the horde, so the bunkers don't get hit.
Don't you want to make the shield...you know...before you set off the nuke?

((Xan, you're not even on the ship. No, you cannot just talk louder.))

Ship Delta Apparently: Team F: Grate

Ignore the praying team leader, instead try to calm myself silently.
Also, brace for impact. And try not to die.

Aw. This RtD in no way involves preventing scurvy, does it?

"20-30 grams" times 223 grams per mole times 6.022E23 atoms per mole equals 5.17e22 to 7.75e22 atoms on Earth at any given time. And the shield in question isn't pure vibranium.

Mixing a tiny amount of mythril in MK3 armour cost 10 tokens: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=108083.msg3988000;topicseen#msg3988000
Full mythril is 30 tokens a plate: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=108083.msg3987331#msg3987331
Search the on ship thread for Mythril. Make sure you search for Mythril with Y.
News to me.

There was enough to make a shield out of the stuff? That's not very rare compared to some RL metals.
It's quite rare compared to pretty much every material that exists outside a laboratory environment.

Well, that depends. I was planning on just continuing to mix, although the power levels of some of the vets means that, from a meta game standpoint, the newbies might want to consider keeping a safe distance from Milno or Jim, for instance, Since they're calling down the finger of god in terms of difficulty. So I may split them up somewhat, between "dangerous" and "Suicide"
I'm tempted to have Grate tag along with Jim to set a new record for mission fatalities. (I'm pretty sure we could get over 9,000% if the mission went on for a couple hundred turns. Even with a more reasonable turn count, we might reach 1000%.)

This is a small service announcement.

I'd like to know how many newbies there are, to know how many bonus tokens those would get as a way of catching up.

Therefore, I'd like everyone who is eligible to say so. People with 0 or 1 missions are applicable. Defence of Hephaustus does not count (which includes the boarding of the ships), nor do those mini missions we had before. The assault on Hephaustus does count. So if your first mission was either assault or defense of Hephaestus, you are eligible. People who have 0 missions but didn't participate in this one are not applicable (unless there's, like, a million tokens and very few people).
*sigh* I'm always one mission too experienced. I guess someone had to be, but still.

Im assuming that it would be similar to that... mithril? Plating one of the older characters invented.
You know, that near indestructible plate armor so cost ineffective you could buy an fullt customised avatar of war for the same price as it would take to armor your chestplate?
Vibranium was so rare that all the stuff on earth was enough for about one vibranium-alloy shield. Mithril isn't more common, at least not until electrolysis is figured out. (Tolkien originally based mithril on aluminum, IIRC.)

I think I'm gonna be getting me some more points soon.

ICARUS accepts the invitation, and now faces the dilemma of what to gift to a 5 year old child progeny
Bill Watterson said it better than I could.

Interesting. Would I be correct in guessing that Blender is a basic 3D modeling program? Or that its models can be used in other types of programs?
