[MISSION] Earth Omphalos - send 'em home!

[ariock]

Kai said, "We have to get this world's omphalos strength up to at least 100%, and probably more according to some math a few of our sofia have worked up." which means to me that it's supposed to be a percentage.
[Meta]Just regarding the math, this is a pretty stretched percentage. For it to be a percentage, the calculation would essentially be {Sum(C x S)/600}x 100%. The value six hundred would have to relate somehow to the total of the C's multiplied by the S's, but I can't see a connection there. Perhaps it is (6 agonothetai x 100 somethings per agon)[/Meta] Whatever the math, according to Kai it appears that we're trying to get a sum of K's that will be >= 100.

Regarding your questions, according to James: "The thing is, after working with Theo, I realize that in 2004, they never had a chance to send all six. They never had The Lost Rings, which are the only source of information for how to send the entire team home. The ompth strength was only part of the problem."

So if there is a requirement for all six agon's to be there, we don't know it yet. But that may be mentioned on the Lost Rings.

The strength of HMRPita's first SF labyrinth design was 120, but it appears now that it won't work due to the downtown buildings being too tall. She's got a new one that's over 20. Hopefully she'll be able to post it today.

We even need a much higher omph strength if we want to send more than six people. James mentioned he really wants to see Toria again and probably Renata want also back home.

Multiple Omphalabyrinths?

edit:

I guess that's too much, I think adding a couple more circuits would do and it will greatly increase the Omph strength, as I see it on the formula.

Which might be a good idea. Otherwise Kai could turn into another James ...

I wonder if we'll ever geth to see (or meet) the whole team of athletes in one place.

What make me wonder is the omph strengthes of the past. They have been very low and 2004 there was even OMPH FALSE (see 2004.inf from the omphaputer) nevertheless at least one traveller was able to travel.

This thread gets an A+ for extremely high usefulness and clever content, so a bit THANK YOU to everyone who's posted so far!

I wanted to add that in her latest video, Ariadne talks about how she can't go back, her home world is destroyed and although she had a vision with her mother in it, there's an Alex that's still there, so they couldn't exist in the same place at the same time. So maybe she'll stay with Kai and James can go in her place? Plus the 2004 people if they're game. Just a thought!

I need to calculate the strengths of the various Dallas labyrinths... interesting stuff.

Someone earlier suggested that June 21 is the last date for labyrinth-running - is that true?

As one of the Sofias Kai mentionned (i had long argument with other sofias on IRC and there), i can assure you that the number you get by doing the "C x S / 6" formula is NOT a percentage.

That's the only thing we proven for sure. Trust the Sofias on that (the math explanation has been put in the linked thread, on second page, by sapagoo)

So the last point that bother us regarding the earth-omphalos strenght is : what number equals 100% ?

If that number is greater than around 300, we'll have to make, at least, 27 omphalabyrinth the size of the philadelphia one.

[Canzonett]

Is the final omphalos strength really determined by the strength of the single omphalos knots alone or by other factors as well? This is a factor that we don't seem to possess reliable information about. The Bangalore artifact might help, but until it has been found, no one can be sure. Unless we can squeeze a little more info out of James.

New food for our speculations about the relation between omph strenght, Earth Omphalos percentage value and the power of the resulting multiversal portal can be found in Ariadne's latest blogpost, which quotes Eli Hunt as follows:
