Title: The Ground...
Post by: 11clock on June 07, 2011, 03:13:13 PM
I've always wondered about how the ground is shaded. It's light at the bottom and dark at the top. Is the sun like, under the ground or something? O.o

Alright, so, millions of years ago the Stick Online universe came into existence, and when it did, it created a cataclysmic event so catastrophic that the universe's sun fused into the core of the Stick-Online planet that we know and love today. As time progressed, the planet grew, and eventually the 23 billion degree temperature was hardly noticeable. The only effects that were left over from the sun-core is that you can see it's light shining from the ground...oh, and terrible drop rates. :P

So there's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Thanks for stating the obvious. :P

Still, The shading just looks weird the way it is.

It's great to see my highly researched theory (albeit idiotic) ignored. Thanks guys :)

I think Jmac's theory explains it all. Stupid sunspots.  >:(

No. It's like that because Jake wanted it like that. My answer should suffice, lol?  ???

HMM the Stick-online god can read minds and it gives you the opposite of whatever you want! Yeh and jmax ya the horrible drop rate part is DEAD ON!

Finally people appreciate my seconds worth of totally not fake research into this phenomenon! :D Oh, and you should definately check out the shading on the mountain, its dark, then it gets light and the then dark again, i spent weeks traveling that mountain searching for a stone hammer. Now I have nightmares about that mountain and it's non-uniform shading patterns. >_<

EDIT: One more thing, Dark, pre-gratz on your 500th post. You'll be a Hero member next time you post something (not like it affects anything...at all) :)

Guys, you're thinking into this wayyy too much. Here's the simple explanation for why the light goes from dark to light on the ground:

A long time ago in the world of Stick online, there existed extremely small organisms now known as stickapons that coated almost the entire world. They were unusual little creatures, because they could absorb and store energy from the sun in there outer layer, which acted like a net of photons. At night, the entire landscape would light up from the stickapons' outer layer releasing the stored light that had been absorbed throughout the day, and they would shed their skin into the fields, valleys, deserts, and water. The rain would wash away the photon layer of the skin, and it would act as a fertilizer for the soil. This fertilizer was special though, because it would emit electromagnetic radiation that was absorbed by everything around it. The earth, like the stickapons would glow until the sun came back out. Throughout the day, light waves from the sun would collide with the embedded photons in the fields and rivers, and instead of bouncing off, would instead dissipate into nothing. To the visible eye, this means it simply looks darker, because we are not absorbing as much light from the ground. As you get down lower though, the ground isn't pierced as much by sun light, and so the result is that the photon fertilizer embedded in the soil still manages to glow.

Pretty simple when you think about it.

Exactly. Seriously guys, pretty obvious stuff. First grade material really.

I hope you mean another account on the forum and not in the game. If you mean in the game, then it would mean you would have taken advantage of the donor pool account activation topic.

Sly... its sad u follow my topics and insult me
u insult me in game on Siedge i get on my other account and i say the same things and yet... no insults...

Edit: Read your other topic and noticed it says you do have an account previously. I didn't think someone would try a stunt like that.

Hope you mean it's someone else's account and you use it and it was simply a poor choice of words.

Sly, don't jump to conclusions. Yes yes, it's quite fun to be dramatic and play Sherlock bloody Holmes and pick on the new guy, but it's not necessary in the least. Siege plays a friend's account from time to time, that's it. Now please, stay on topic.

Wait just a second here, guys.

We're being told that the ground emits light as depth increases because of magical microscopic bioluminescent organisms. But in order for an organism to emit light, the light has to come from that organism. One can't just release a magical glowing substance that radiates a brilliant field of electromagnetism for all eternity. If you're going to voluntarily emit light energy, (I do it all the time when it's dark in my house) that energy has to come from somewhere; namely, the chemical energy in your body.

Now - if these organisms existed "a long time ago", how is this massive body of Stickapon-residue still maintaining a strong electromagnetic field?

Consequently, consider this graph.

Now... watch what happens if you invert the manipulative variable.

(http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/1903/chart2r.png) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/541/chart2r.png/)

I think this data proves that Jake's theory was fabricated, entirely for the purpose of concealing what burns endlessly beneath the lush fields and barren wastelands of the Stick Online universe...

Anti-Jesusland.

Essentially... hell. It's on fire, you know? So, logically, earth that's closer to it would be brighter!

If you guys want to reject the obvious truth here, you can go ahead and believe in whatever freaking organisms Meiun tells you about... but I think that established scientific documentation clearly supports my theory.
