I was talking to my friend in school today, and he told me about infiniwire(he is friends with the makers of this video, he is really good at redstone). Basically, you can send an infinite amount of information, through 1 redstone wire. Only 1. Well, how is this possible? Delay. Watch this video.
We could make cities with Times Square! LCD screens in cities, and relay public messages from city to city, within a couple of minutes!(tick delay + distance) We could communicate information anywhere on the map, we would just need a lot of redstone. Infinite information(with binary decoders of course). We could definitely do a lot with this in the future, most likely in age 4. What do you guys think?(this would be for large LCD screens, not personal messages)
Ages 1-3, definately not, as they do not fit into the theme of the server... But with age 4 - if there is such a thing - the administration could play it like 'Civilization' and have technology advance.
"One can concentrate so closely on the words of a sentence that one thereby misses the meaning. As can happen in any area of life. You must never lose focus on the larger landscape."
It would definatly create a lot of RP aspects to the future, just because it's LCD screens and such doesn't mean it has to be futuristic like we think now. Redstone is magical, everything would stay the same for the most part I think, it would bring a special redstone service, that would generate some people a lot of money

Even simpler, use morse code. No decoders or encoders needed! Just a lever, signal and some redstone.
Oh, and redstone signals can't travel through unloaded chunks, so you can't send messages over a long distance. Shame.
That is unfortunate that you could not send messages over a long distance because of the unloaded chunks, I though it just magically worked somehow. I personally did not know that.
I was saying how you could make Times square or something like it, because this form of communication would allow for that. I was just giving examples. My writing is crap, so I am sorry, as it is very bad. You can do a lot of things with this, LCD screens, of course, do not fit the theme of our server, so that is why we could use different torches that are inverted with signs on them. For example, I am sending a message to point B from point A. When I send it, two torches will light up at point B. One will say the message, example S.O.S. We are being raided. The other will say the location, or point A. Also, could there be another way to send redstone signal over a long distance?

This would lagg the server I think.
Another way of doing this is to hire a lot of people and instruct them to go stand in a line next to the redstone wire. But that kind of removes the purpose doesn't it?
