Arcesious Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I brought this up in the TGA group. If you were to be able to choose any planet, of any kind, and terraform it to be suitable for life, how would you make it? And once it was able to support life, how would you rule the planet?

Jason Skywalker Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I'd try to terraform all the planets beyond the Earth in our solar system for suitable life as something of a colony or for resources to help the Earth. Ruling's not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbieZ Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 My people would change most likely as often as my moods. One day we are all ninjas living happily in paper houses, the next we are pirates and then Starfleet then back to ninjas again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderWiggin Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I'm all for the concept of the Starways Congress and the Hegemon as laid out in Orson Scott Card's Ender Series. _EW_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Don* Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I would personally choose to terraform a planet very far away. I'd create it into a getaway retreat, a vacation spot for humanity to come visit and enjoy. Basically, my vision would be for it to be like the Unknown Planet from KOTOR (without the sunken ships) and surround it by hotels, resorts, theme parks, and other recreational stuff. In other words, I'd rule the planet more or less like a CEO than an actual politician/king/emperor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 First I'd create, preside and rule over a private electric company which would focus on extracting the planet in question life energy though specially designed reactors. I'd build a nice and fairly gigantic sprawling metropolis to accomodate my slav... workers and their families. The point as to which I get original would be on the shipping of this energy to Earth, which I'd sell at ridiculous high prices on the stocks. The countris would jump at each other throats to get it. If the planet had a beach I'd also fund a resort called Costa del Sol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthAve Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I would start life as a whole, build it up to industrialization, and rule that place like Josef Stalin, Russian Communist style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litofsky Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Interesting question. However, I would recreate a time-period like the American Revolution, with a new one every twenty years. No infrastructure, no solid government, and no stability. Oh, yeah, and we'd have amazing medicine that would make us live to 122. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Construct Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I would terraform a planet to be like earth, with more old animals, and have broken stuff all over like Raxus Prime. And be leader of droids and hot chicks! Planet would be called: lol, hot cheeckz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mur'phon Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 First, change the axis to get rid of the:swear: midnight sun. Then create the largest mountain in da ooniverze, specially made bungee/base/people-I-don't-like jumping on one side, a huge downhill skiing paradise on the other. Then have bacteria turn every ocean into a diferent kind of booze. Finishing off I'd gene manipulate everyone who wish to live on my planet to make communism a reality.

ForeverNight Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hmmm......... I'd chose a planet far enough away from Earth so that their attention isn't on me. Then, I'd try and get all the really 'smart' people of Earth to come set up companies on my planet. Then, working with the companies set up, I would work to expand beyond my dinky single planet, this time looking for cheep labor to man any factories and foundries needed to support an inter-solar-systemic (Is that even a word?) empire/government. After that is done, I'd try and expand into Sol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Firstly, congrats on the geekiest thread title I have ever seen at LFN ever!! I have this already planned out. It will happen one day.

Arcesious Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 I'd create a system full of lpanets of extremes. It would be a binary star system, with a single, white-gray-silver colored gas giant. Around the gas giant would be worlds of different extremes, one water world, one jungle world, one desert world, one ice world, one volcanic world, and one metropolis world... It would be a huge tourist resort spread over all of those moons and around the gas giant. I'd have my own mansions and palaces on each planet, huge space stations around the gas giant, and run it in a benevolent dictatorship, eventually making the system a huge tourism and trading area, full of all kinds of fun... A system also hosting huge galactic races in fast, dexterous spaceships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnseyy Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 ooh. well, i'd get Jupiter's storm to go away, and made it solid (somehow) AFTER storing some of the gas away >.> then i'd do loadsa experiments with the gas and foetus' (cause im mad) and then create deformed people, and i would be their ruler. even if i wasn't deformed like them (sort of like a hitler situation... just on a grander scale! and no killing.)

Rev7 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Eh, I would probably make my planet a strategic base so that I could overtake everyones planet. I'm serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKA-001 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I would use it as a secret military installation for research and development of advanced weaponry and other miscellaneous technology. After that, I'll blockade the rest of the planets in the system (to prevent the rest of you from becoming a threat) and turn command over to my brother, who would undoubtedly be smarter than me in terms of how to conquer Earth.

Det. Bart Lasiter Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'd become a human Jabba the Hutt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan7 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'd create a world completely natural, with very little industry... Simple life for folks who would be human and I'd put this dude in charge; Having done all this I'd live a simple life married to; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mur'phon Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Astro: thought about doing that, then realized that as ruler of the planet, getting girls wouldn't be much of a problem.

Sorry, being good little Christians (or should that be Yodaians on my planet?) we're not really into that - however our next door neighbour Natalie would love to meet you; Our other next door neighbour Diego said he would like to meet you too...

mur'phon Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Ah well, she's all yours, just realized she is 8 years older than me so would probably age too fast. And while you can "fix" a girls apearance with enough alcohol, it only last one night, meaning you are screwed in the morning:D Herbie: Mind letting me borow your world while you are, eh, busy with Kristin? ForeverNight, Rev7 and TKA-001 needs some ninja treatment so the rest of us can live in peace.

Rachel_Ewok Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hmm, I'm not really sure if this is the original intention of the thread... But I would make Saturn suitable for life, it's really pretty. I could go ice-skating on the rings ^^ Now to be not so-serious: As for ruling, I have some good ideas... But, I think I would put Gandalf in charge.... or maybe Optimus Prime. I'd probably end up leaving in my spaceship, looking for Luke Skywalker to hang out with. I'd leave Gandalf and Optimus to duke it out, whoever wins gets to rule Saturn. (I wonder who...)

TKA-001 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 War mongers: What precisley would be the point in taking over other planets? Power, wealth, stability, and personal enjoyment, not to mention more potential resources to keep the economy going. What the hell wouldn't be the point??
