h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi I scurried over here to see if this thread was alive!

I played an internet game once where you couldn't see the things around you, you only had text descriptions of the areas and you had to make choices. Only the situations changed depending on what choice you made, and certain things would only happen if you made the correct choices (but you didn't know that at the time you made the choice!).

If that's confused everyone , it should do. But I feel it goes to prove that time and space are relative to the situation or circumstance that you're in at the moment. It might not make any difference to the physicalities (structures etc.), but it does to the perspective of the viewer. So you would get the same character doing something exactly the same every time you visited them, until (somewhere else in the game) you mad a choice which meant that that same character now did something completely different or gave you an extra option not available before!!

So mapping the P-space areas might not be as easy as all that - actions and consequences.

Am I making any sense , I hope not, then I might have to live in the real world instead of the virtual

Sounds like you've got your trouser legs of time tangled

Did anyone get that?

i had no idea this thread existed

P-Space= L-Space, but for ponds. Have forgotten how L-Space works actually

Ask an orangutan.

it's quite simple:

Ook!

Right, that's all you have to know. Ook.

Just a minute, what's L-Space? Has someone been keeping things from me here?

It's on Discworld. L-space connects all libraries everywhere at all times. In it are all possible books.

Ah, yes of course! Ook!

exactely

In some cases, it morphs into Eeek! - that's when you start running

yes

Did you get the number of that donkey cart?

Have you ever played the Discworld computer games?

no

Ah, because in one of them you *really* have to get the number of that donkey cart!

And Discworld Noir is really good - it's like a whole book! Actually, I have that at my mother's and I'm going there November 5th at the latest, I could get it for you

Would be great!
