PS. Central neural structure is an intriguing description.

[Mosestrotsky]

It will be like the towering inferno all over again. Either that or this central neural structure will become sentient (if its not already) and take over the building locking everyone in the building and treating them like a virus or maybe i've seen too many b-movies

We're being fed a lot of information about the Point lately, which could mean that something big will happen at this anniversary celebration that will require us to have a good knowledge of the building in order to help a character or solve a puzzle. It would be a good idea to get our wiki pages and other reference things up to date just in case.

Also, we're given the date that it was built. This is probably more exciting for me than anyone else, since I haven't had the chance to update my timeline for a while. But I do find it interesting that it was only built in 259 (1996) - I thought it was older for some reason.

Reading all of this about Ascendancy Point led me to try
www.ascendancypoint.com
and low and behold...

[cassandra]

ooh!

let's make a new thread...

[Daffy889]

Wow, great find!

Not a lot of new info there though, but it just furthers my theory that something big will happen at the anniversary celebration.

[Scott]

hm. They mention the point was built in 259. it's now 268. so this big Ten Year Gala they are talking about .... just a bit off.

well, time being what it is, you can juggle it a little. Like is that begining of year to end of year? Maybe so. If the big gala event is planned fFor november or something, and it was fFormally opened in january, that counts as pretty close to one year. Or if you have a year long eent leading up to the big birthday bash. That whole year of partying counts as year nine. But this sounds more like a big party with invites and a sit down dinner or somesuch. and the party sounds as if it is coming up sometime fFairly soon, not end-of-year.

I'll uhm, post the sentinel about this possible error now.


By the way, the problems discussed in this article are fFairly real and logical problems with a large building of this nature. Another example of "We don't do that on Earth fFor a reason". still, it looks cool.

EDIT: fFixed typo! (sorry, thanks)

(sorry about the typo - it's corrected now)
interesting. the new site compounds the issue, doesn't it. hm.

[sledgecallier]

I find it also interesting that the website for the point quotes

[tanner]

so since the cube was stolen structures are falling apart -- mobeus strip, ascendancy point -- but crime figures going down and curse lifted and religious objections forgotten to development in old town -- seems the cube may have had an influence

Forgoing the main story for a minute: does the mining section imply that the City originally rose up as some kind of 'silver rush' town?? We know that the economy was heavily based on silver once upon a time...
