Title: (game) BAS Satoshi
Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on October 30, 2012, 05:29:32 PM
NOTE: The name of this thread will be changed to 'We're on the starship____________' once a name has been picked, or simply titled '_______' (the name of the ship).

Anybody can play, but don't refer to yourself as your real name or pseudonym, along with leaving all your RL personalities and biases behind. For instance, I will be known as Boi'qaaf (zero Google results), far removed from the personalities of Phinnaeus Gage, Bruno, Al the Alpaca, etc., and may ally with Atlas, Josh, or Zhou Tong's character.

Try to pick a name that's not currently indexed by Google, and always sign your post with your character's name.

The only outside role I will be performing is maintaining this thread, making sure the rules, albeit few, are being abided. Any suggestions or questions can be asked of me via PM.

The game only exist on this forum thread, but members can interact outside in RL, joining alliances, maybe, to better or sabotage the experience.

Unless otherwise revealed by consensus (a vote--explained in a sec), assume the ship we're on is in outer space on a yet to be defined mission. The only thing taking place on this ship that resembles anything we currently relate to the Bitcoin realm is the use of Bitcoin itself possibly a means of conducting commerce on the ship, unless a consensus dictates another yet to be known purpose, e.g., mining, returning the protocol to The Protector, etc.

To start off, we'll name the ship, first by garnering suggestions and using only +1's as votes. All that is needed is three +1's by full members (500+ post counts), and the ship will be named. It can always be changed later with another vote after 24 hours (Earth) have passed and using the same criteria.

Same is true as to the size of the ship, number of crew, defence capabilities, mission, etc., but these attributes may not need a vote if ejected into the game by a player, and accepted as fact during the course of dialog. Example:

Player 1: We need to resupply our pantries at the next GL planet, otherwise we're going to have 300 hungry people eyeing each other.
Player 2: 300 people on board, and nobody knows the answer to...
Player 3: Twins! Just what we needed. Now we have 302 clueless souls on this tin can heading to who-knows-where.

When voting (+1), please add other content to your post to further the game along, and always sign with your character name.

Code:
Please put any aside comments or questions (if you don't want to PM me with them) inside code brackets to not disrupt
the playing of the game.

Feel free to use Star Trek as your inspiration, but try to interact here as if that franchise was never conceived. Same true for other well-known sci-fi realms.

I will update this OP when the need arises. I will reserve Post #2 for only facts related to this game (e.g., name of ship, races aboard, mission, etc.)

  • Name of ship: BAS Satoshi
  • Captain: Eiran Or'll
  • The Pleaser: Boi'qaaf
  • Warp Engineer: Ifseg Arkaz
  • Leader of the SHARDEN: DARQIST HEMT
  • Retard Genius: BurbolGii

BAS Satoshi and her crew are on an economic expansion mission.

Access to 1A1zP1 is limited to only one entity among the crew, and his/her identity has been unknown among the rest of the crew since BAS Satoshi took flight about 3 Earth years ago.

Code:
Try to refrain from connecting this game to what we know about Bitcoin in RL, as well as
not depending too much on Star Trek when introducing sci-fi terminology.

Put asides in code brackets.

Get a new user account to play the game (option, but would make it a better gaming experience), which can be
whitelisted easily, or be really creative and not let anybody know who you are by registering the normal/long way.

I vote to name the ship the "BAS Satoshi".

For the captain, I nominate myself (caffeinewriter).

Captain's Bio:

Quote
My name is Eiran Or'll (Pronounced Eer-ahn Or-el). I am a native of the planet Earth, however, I am not human. I am an anthromorphic cross between a tiger and a human due to a regrettable crossbreeding incident which led me to become an orphan at age 6. I never met my father, and my mother died (as a result of the crossbreeding) when I was 6. At the age of 12, I visited an IEC (Intergalactic Enterprise Corporation) symposium, where I became fascinated with space travel. At 16, I registered with the Alliance, and enrolled in Vargas University for Space Travel, an ivy league school comprised of the top fleet commanders in the world. By age 21, I graduated with full honors and began working with the IEC as a ensign. Three years later, due to my diligence and intelligence, I advanced to the rank of captain. I now command the ship "BAS Satoshi".

For the mission, I vote that we're on an economic expansion mission.

I suggest for voting, you +1 each idea individually by quote.

E.g.

Most systems should work fine now.

It seems that capacitors on our starboard side are thru alloyed.

The bad news is that we won't have weapons on starboard for the next 12 hours.

Good news is, we found this before we are actually in a combat situation.

True. Get them repaired as soon as possible. I want them all deionized and ready to go.

Can we get to the stardock?

Yes, all ways are save. Lifts are operational. Radiation shields and live support work as well.

I will now focus on replacing the capacitors. Will report back as soon as the work is finished.

BurbolGii, BurbolGii, BurbolGii. Your head hurt due to the too many flaccs we consumed last night. I'm surprised that that's all you're complaining about that hurts. But don't worry, my new friend, when the effects of the flaccs wears off, you'll remember you're on BAS Satoshi and what role you play here. BTW, payment transaction has yet to reach my account, thus now giving you no more than two cycles time to pay your arrears or our little secret will made public.

I chuckle.

"Darqist Hemt. I was told you'd be coming. Is this about the poker game that, by the way, you still owe me thirty thousand credits for? Also, why the hell does everybody assume that all people from Earth are human. I'm a Timan. I'd think you'd know this. Anyways, what makes me think that our ship won't blow yours straight out of the sky?" Although appearing calm, inside I'm quite nervous, knowing the weapons array is offline due to the capacitor overload.

Captian Eiran Or'll, I never truly thanked you for snatching me from the all male nymph planet Rengaw, thus allowing me to be the sole 'The Pleaser' aboard your fine vessel. Remember, if ever you change your mind and desire me to open up for you, it'll be on the house. I think that flashing red light marked 1A1zP1 means something, therefore I'll leave you now.

Title: Re: (game) BAS Satoshi
Post by: caffeinewriter on October 31, 2012, 02:41:05 AM
Code:
Of course my first instinct was to look it up on firstbits.

I quickly think of the hundreds of millions of credits on my chip, wondering why people still bothered to use them, when the obvious choice would be to use the intergalactic currency of Bitcoin. I quickly scan the light with my HUD glasses, offering up a payment screen. I transfer ten Bitcents, or approximately 800,000 credits worth of Bitcoins, to the projected address. In the back of my mind I question why I picked up Boi qaaf up off that damned planet. If he were a female, this would be a different story, but on that planet, all of them are kind of androgynous, and to be honest, I originally thought he was, until he decided to bare himself to me in the head almost a thousand lightyears from his planet. Too late to take him back. I quickly look at the piraTunes icon in the corner of my HUD Glasses, triggering the exec. After a few milliseconds, the program finally loads.

Damn, I think to myself, I need to upgrade the processor soon, but the damned merchant wants five hundred million credits for the processor download.

I could pay for it in Bitcoins, but the exchanges are deemed illegal by the ECA, (Earth Credit Authority) and they recently increased their detection rate, so as attractive as it would be to "cash out" some of my Bitcoins, I don't want to risk the credits being confiscated and my chip being frozen. After a second, I decide on some oldies. Skrillex to be exact. As the music begins to stream through my implanted bone vibration speakers, I finally get the damned email that had been waiting for me at the 1A1zP1. After the last free email provider, Gmail, shut down after being sued by the HPAE (Holographic Picture Association of Earth) and SMIAE (Streaming Music Industry Association of Earth) for being a means for filesharing, emails got much more expensive, and not a whole lot faster. In fact, due to the filtering algorithms that the HPAE and SMIAE put in place on the internet to prevent the illegal transfer of files, it took almost eight seconds for the email to reach point B from point A.

The email reads:

Proceed to sector 121.24.29154.

Status: Blackbird

Classified except to A4 Level Operators

People are so talkative these days.

Captain,

sorry for not reporting back earlier, but I was stuck in decontamination (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0) and my manual override (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=15911.3040) was not accepted.

Status:

I replaced the capacitors and all systems are working well.

The damaged was no accident! Someone messed with some fuses and created a short circuit, which fried the capacitors.

This whole place here looks like hell, empty flaccs bottles laying around everywhere and obviously even some scooba was smoked.

It even looks like somebody slept here.

Boi qaaf is so stupid. I hate the refactor delay... It's so boring, even PSY-BOT could do it...

If only he didn't know the secret...

Hihi, I feel so smart today. I could pay him my debts right now. But the guy really said he would double my amount each week.
Only wait a while, pay Boi qaaf back and I'm rich and never have to work for him again. Only flaccs and scooba... scooba...

Let's do what he said for a while... maybe later I can play with the funny wires again. That techy almost saw me, I have to be careful.

The speakers on all ships in the area begin to emit a soft humming noise. Though barely audible to ordinary human ears, anyone with genetic or cybernetic hearing upgrades would immediately notice the new sound...

...if the speakers weren't also emitting other sounds at full volume on loop.

A few tiny specks of green light flicker brighter than the rest of the surrounding stars as they drift towards the BAS Satoshi and the Sharden ship.



If someone notices the lights and tries to investigate:

Long-range sensors (when functional) will discover that each speck has a physical light source and a small amount of mass, but no power source, no engines, no weapons or shields, no signs of life. It might be a fleet of expertly-cloaked warships, or it might be harmless space debris (http://www.graffitiresearchlab.com/blog/projects/led-throwies/).

This is obviously some sort of trick to make the other side's army look bigger, but there's no way to tell if the lights are armed or harmless unless one gets near a short-range sensor. (Luckily, they do seem to be floating this way.)

The Sharden thoughtreaderizer (when functional) hears:
