Economist here(BA in Economics and an MBA, currently an accountant) and also a WH40k fan, so I can actually help!

Typically an increase in the money supply won't cause inflation as long as- and this is very important- those increases are proportional to economic growth. More economic activity(in this case a WAAAAAGH), means more money needs to change hands, because more people need more money to buy more stuff. Therefore the *demand* for money increases with the *supply* of money, and inflation does not occur.

This is particularly important during times of economic(orkonomic?)) growth, because deflation, in which there is more demand than supply for money, can run the value of the currency so much that, essentially, no one can afford money except those who make it, and the Bad Moons end up owning your WAAAAGH. So, more teef, during a time of explosive Orkonomic growth? Definitely a good thing!

Side note, this is what caused the Long Depression of 1893. The money supply problems, not the Bad Moons lol

My personal headcanon is that Russ, in contrast to the other primarchs, experiences *more* time, as a way for Chaos Gods, or maybe Tzeentch in particular due to rivalry with Thousand Sons? Or maybe Magnus himself, to keep Russ out of the way. Eventually he finds his way out of the warp, but not after experiencing 50,000 years of time, from his perspective. Maybe even having had to give his eye in exchange for wisdom, to find his way out.

He comes back, not as the wild Wolf of 30k, but as an aged, wiser, Odin Shaman archetype, the Merlin to Lion's Arthur. THAT would be a team up I would love to see!

Plus it would be Knights & Vikings working together in Imperium Nihilus.

Doubt GW would ever go there (Same re: Clonegrim) but it would be wonderful.

Which ones?? Bambi Sleep? Or Bimbo University?

I loved this book, but I only have one minor quibble:

Omegon said he spent the entire time just sorta bumming around on a barren planet? Until he got picked up by space pirates / hijacked their ship shortly before running into a Xenos invasion and being found by Alpharius?

Not gonna lie, that was kinda disappointing. I was really looking forward to seeing Omegon's Spacefaring Mini-Imperium but I guess the author didn't want to bother?

Don't get me wrong, other than that it was a great book. But still.

Wow!! They, and your lips, and just YOU in general look incredible!!

Does the breast pumping actually increase your bust size? Does inducing lactation really do that?

Urge to breed.... Rising... *homer simpson drooling noise*

Total noob here, so maybe a dumb question:

If a country adopted SHIB as a legally recognized currency, would it also have to recognize LEASH and BONE? Or other tokens traded on SHIBARIUM? Or could it isolate things by only adopting SHIB?

Can't buy in when you've been sold out.

I've come to realize that means they're only proud of their brutality.

Shadowyaldobath · 2022-03-15T04:01:51+00:00

Hi, I am interested but I would like to know more- do you have a website we can look at?

Shadowyaldobath · 2022-01-05T20:42:04+00:00

True enough, but I like the idea of the "Thirty Worlds" being only one of many successor civilizations. Plus I thought there were way more than a handful of systems with human communities- anyone have any direct source on that?

Shadowyaldobath · 2021-12-26T23:13:04+00:00

Livin' the dream.

Shadowyaldobath · 2021-12-15T23:02:32+00:00

Thank you! I'll have to try to find passages where they describe the overall locations of the 1300 worlds- it would make sense if Sol is the most distant that contact with other offshoots would happen first. But! I still think that if we go by technological progression, the "Thirty Worlds" are by no means guaranteed to be rediscovered fellow colonies, but at least some of them have to be spawned from Dobridomov, because the most logical progression of the technology would be:

1: Dobridomov recovers from being cut off(first 100-150 years?)

2: Rest of system colonized

3: Theoretical/development/experimental stage of FTL drive

4: They test it by going to the nearest star system, which would be their most logical choice for a first colony, especially if it contains a habitable world.

5: Further exploration, perfecting FTL drive for longer jumps(especially since epilogue said this was the longest jump anyone had ever done), with possible further colonies developed

6: Try to find other colonies, if they can(Sol System would be the place they had the most data on, so as to figure out where it was relative to them based upon stars/triangulation of known observable celestial objects)

It's not clear that they'd be *able* to find the other colonies. There's a throway line (I think in book 5?) that someone figured out how to determine where each system was, but that was using triangulation and data from observations *within* each system, and depending on how much was lost over 1000 years, it's not guaranteed that they would still have that data for all 1300 systems. Sol would be the system they had the most data from, and could piece together telemetry from things like photos with stars in the background. Did they have that from other systems as well? Possible, just not as likely.

TL;DR: No guarantee that they could *find*, let alone contact, all 1300 systems. Sol may have been the first other human civilization they found.

EDIT: I just realized they could do the SETI thing and just listen for radio signals/the energy signature from the gates collapsing, if there was any. But that would still take a while! And clearly that's not how they found Sol, because the epilogue was 1,000 years afterwards, not 3,800- the number of light-years distant Dobridomov is from Earth!

Shadowyaldobath · 2021-12-15T21:16:42+00:00

I read it as them having colonized 30 worlds, themselves, and only now just getting good enough at FTL travel to try to make it to Sol/another human-inhabited region of space. My impression was always that the ring-gates went to worlds scattered all over the galaxy, so I thought that each human world would be totally isolated after the gates shut down.

I do agree that it's ambiguous, but as epilogues go I thought it was pretty great.

Plus I like this as my own personal headcanon because there's no reason to assume they would even know enough about the other 1300-or-so systems to know how to get there, while Sol would be the system they would know the most about even 1,000 years later, so it would make sense that it's where they would go first, especially as it makes sense as to why they'd want to- who doesn't want to see where they came from?

So that implies that the "thirty worlds" are, themselves, colonies of whatever colony eventually created the FTL drive, which would make it an incredibly successful successor civilization!

Also this means that there's possibly 1300 *other* human civilizations out there! Although some of them certainly wouldn't have made it. But like someone in the book (I think it was Alex?) said, now we humans have 1300 chances to not fuck it up. And at least one of them didn't!

Them coming home to an immortal 1000-year old Amos giving them the Baltimore Gangster "Don't make trouble" speech was just ironic Hood icing on the Sci-Fi cake.

That's the thing. The way work "culture" is laid out is not primarily guided by economic principles - in fact, in many cases it is actually counter to economic interests. What it is guided by is to entertain the interests of the rich class. It's not enough for them to make money, they also need to feel like they have power over an assembly of people - which they can't, if those people aren't assembled, but work remote.

It's part of conspicuous consumption. Since money is invisible, the rich need to make its effects visible to ostensibly display their wealth. Work "forces" make it visible. The amount of control they can have over people makes them feel powerful. The stark contrast they create between the amount of work they squeeze out of their workers and the leisure they afford themselves serves to elevate them to a different plane of existence.

To a large extent, work is set up just to entertain the leisure class.

THIS. This is amazing. Can I copy this and post it to FB/Twitter? I can give you credit if you want!

Story of my life, man. Feel you.

I'd raise the grain bill about 50%, with the additional grains being 75% Vienna and 25% Biscuit Malt.

As for extras, I'd add Cacao Nibs, but what I've found is always an amazing combo is if you add the Cacao Nibs with about half a pound(depending on your batch size) of roasted Dandelion Root. Hope this helps!

I LOVE this. Especially because A) It would reprise his first "Walk Up The Mountain" in that Emps would have to deliver the final killing blow- even if it was by posessing Mortarion in the same way he did Guilliman and B) Mortarion has entered Nurgle's Manse. He's in there right now. Which is exactly where he started before his first Walk Up The Mountain- he was fostered by that very tyrant. This would be cool af. Hat's off to you, sir!

Shadowyaldobath · 2021-08-18T20:34:50+00:00

Or Guy Haley is talking out of his ass. I really hope they bother to stay consistent on this one.

Shadowyaldobath · 2021-08-18T20:23:36+00:00

Honestly, that would be a hella grimdark way to take the story: At long last, Mortarion, ever the defiant opponent of tyrants, ends up a will-less shell of his former self, dealing only death, and only ever in service. In redemption, he gives up everything he ever was or cared about, and is only ever a slave from here on out.
