Sᴛᴏᴘ ᴛʜᴇ Wᴏʀʟᴅ

A blog concerning all the nitty details or random asides about Sᴛᴏᴘ ᴛʜᴇ Wᴏʀʟᴅ for the Up For Grabs contest.

I mean, nobody found this, so I can totally spoil who all is in what picture here. Also, I should have probably put this up earlier, but hey.

[stw-mspafa]

I usually don’t swear, but that joke was too funny to pass up. Also, my apologies to every character that I’m mischaracterising (read: everyone but the Mikas)

Anyway, read Stop the World. There’s a week left in the contest, and whoever you’re rooting for still needs your help!

StWalfas has a vuvuzela. This is very important for the adventure. Mainly because people figured out that literally every character besides the Mikas and whoever has been given to me is from other works. Like Whimsy the Mistakable.

Stop the World is an entry in the 9th Up For Grabs contest. And yes, I’ll keep promoting it until day infinity.

What, two joke panel sets on consecutive days? What is this update coming to? And yes, the blond guy is firing bullets so fast that he’s flying backwards.

[stw-mspafa]

Wow, I haven’t done one of these in a while. Anyway, that’s apparently the end of Stop the World, hope you enjoyed it all. Because what better way to end a story than with the main character making out with an evil version of herself, which becomes real, and then more make outs? (Let’s see... the police come by and stop the film, or by riding a nuclear missile between the legs, or by having a limp magically disappear as the villain goes free, or a nonsensical space baby sequence, or by a reveal of the Statue of Liberty, or if it were written by Uwe Boll...)

Isn’t this just the cutest panel ever? I mean, from this image, how bad could the gratuitous violence be? Surely not a werewolf ripping three scientists into a bloody pulp, then having them endure the excruciating pain of shifting from human to werewolf forms for the first time ever. Oh wait.

Also, I couldn’t find stuff like that in walfas. Actually, that’s more likely why it’s not being shown. As in, that’s the actual reason.

HERE IS MY U4G WHICH THIS IS FROM GO READ IT OKAY NOW I CAN END THE STUPID PLUG AND CAPSLOCK.

[stw-mspafa]

THIS. THIS STUPID IMAGE TOOK ME OVER AN HOUR LAST NIGHT TO NOT UPLOAD. JUST... SCREW THIS IMAGE.

Also, “I probably deserved this after the chickens” is one of my favorite lines. Want to know how that makes sense? Read Stop the World end cheesy sales pitch.

[stw-mspafa]

Wow, who could that be in the lower left? Definitely not “Raymoo Hackery”. Well, I think I should say this here as well (as if anyone has found this yet), but if you want to get a character into Stop the World who isn’t in Touhou, go right ahead. And if you create the character in Walfas first, even better.

And this is the last line I had prepared before U4G. Also, for the first time, DAY HAS CHANGED! So, let’s use this opportunity to show off the formula and how stuff is counted.

What I’m measuring is the rotation rate. Being a meteorology major, we get hammered in that Earth’s rate is 7.292×10-5s-1. Hence, the general formula is k/rate. For day time, k=π/64624 and night has k=π/129248. Except for right now, where those are multiplied to get a 14/10 ratio instead of a 16/8.

Now, when the rate changes, the formula is k/(the last rotation rate) + (when the last change happened) - [(the time between changes)*(the old rate)/(the latest rate)], where you repeat that bracketed section for every change. Except I didn't use that formula, because if there's only one change, which can be simplified to k/(the new rate) + (time from start to change)*(1-(new rate)/(old rate)) + start. Hence, with a change 61 minutes in from 7.292e-5 to 7.103e-5, that lengthened day by around 38 minutes. WHEE MATH.

Update 1: Extra Images

[stw-mspafa]

As another Up For Grabs contest comes upon us, so here’s my entry into the fray. I’m hoping to use this to alert when updates have happened, provide additional content/jokes, as well as some other minor details. Like my formula for calculating the lengths of day, which honestly would bore the judges to death were I to put it in the thread. But here? Stick it under a readmore and it’s your fault for having read it. Anyway, Sᴛᴏᴘ ᴛʜᴇ Wᴏʀʟᴅ is able to be read here on the forums.
