Quote:Whoa. Chill. To that, I say this:
Steam-powered radios? Are you out of your mind? We take realism where we can get it, and we can get it here. Radios don't work without radio waves, and sound can't be translated into radio waves and propagated across a long distance without electricity, which we really don't have. Also, I haven't heard of radios being used in a Steampunk setting at all, and we're a Medieval Steampunk server, so it's just out of the question. Finally, you don't need electricity to make an airship. Use your imagination for the rest of how they work. You can't seriously expect yotta to make a plugin with all of the mechanics of a ship making perfect sense. There's just no way. Your argument is made even more invalid by the fact that the radios would be invisible anyways, which is markedly worse than what Kiwiships can do.
Logic'd.
Well Gecko, when you put it that way yes, that is a quite sane idea. Why can't we just use our "imagination" for the radios to work, who said it had to be voice transmitting? Maybe it's more of a telegraph system that transmits from the power of our imagination! I also don't think that there really is such thing as "Medieval Steampunk." It's mostly based on science fiction. As Wikipedia states, "Steampunk is a genre that originated during the 1980s and early 1990s and incorporates elements of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, horror, and speculative fiction." So almost anything is possible.
When you think about it, radios are small, hand held devices, and the ships are well, ships. So of course they're going to be huge. How does this not make any sense to all of you? If it doesn't make any sense to have a giant floating ship then why have it? Not like you're all going for "realism" on here is it?
Also, why make such a big deal of meta-gaming? Almost everyone on the server is doing it (the mods are very aware of it)and could give less then two shits. Since we're on the subject, what about the "/msg player" thing? I'm pretty sure that could be considered meta gaming as well.
Fuck your logic! :D
Radios (it's probably not what you think)
