Fiction Portal and New Evelopedia
« on: 20 Dec 2011, 11:57 »

They're up!

Evelopedia's main page is here, and you can find the Fiction Portal here.

Lots of stuff to read, some old and some new. But most of it should be useful for your arpeez! :3

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

For some reason I like the notion of a scientist suggesting all humanity originated from the same solar system and getting guffawed at by his peers.

Holy. Shit. PF.


...'scuse me while I change my pants.


...there we go. Now, on more serious matters - as I said ingame (for those of you who were around), these new fiction articles really need some kind of a tag at the top explaining that all of the information available in the article is not instantly available to us IC.

I've heard several people say the new Wiki doesn't come up. I suppose it hasn't fully propagated yet? Try flushing your DNS, that might work. Otherwise... just gotta wait.

While it's still fresh in my head... soft-clones are official PF. :smug:

Quote from: Death - EVElopedia
The second, less common, and more controversial method of cloning is known by a variety of names, such as soft-cloning, backup-cloning, and regression cloning. In this method, the individual submits to a slow, non-damaging backup scan of their brains, which takes an extended period of time to complete. Should the person suffer death, the copied brain scan is imprinted on a prepared clone body, and the person “wakes up” at the point of their last backup scan. All memories and experiences between their most recent backup and their death are unmade, as if they never happened to that person.

Because of this, far more people consider these sorts of clones to be copies and not the original person, though the techniques involved in both methods are quite similar, being differentiated primarily by the speed of the neural scanner. This factor leads to backup-clones being far less widespread than capsuleer clones, even though they are available to a wider portion of the population.

Quote from: Capsuleer Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance
The real value in Capsuleer AD&D insurance comes when capsuleers exit their pods and leave behind the capsule's unique cloning technology. While true that a capsuleer who perishes outside his pod can be resurrected through a process called soft-cloning, true death results if the backup clone is also destroyed in the same event, or prior to it. Additionally, soft-cloning is not instantaneous and the capsuleer will lose all memories and experience accrued since the last backup.

Damn, just when I was able to look at it, its all still down.

And I'm at work so I can't rage out loud about not getting my PF.  Well I could, but I think men with butterfly nets would become involved soon there-after.

Looks like it's back up again! Hopefully to stay this time.

I'd say it was worth the wait, though I imagine there is still a lot more to come.
