  1. Granted. Nobody believes you when you say you can, and they think your demonstrations are carefully crafted illusions and ballroom trickery. Eventually people think you're insane for continuing to claim its real. I wish I owned a commercial launch site.
  2. Granted. You die in the process of discovering the secret of life, and are not able to share it with anyone or profit from it. I wish I had a tank of liquid helium.
  3. I look and facepalm at how the battle has wandered so far from the hill. Nevermind the firefight, the hill has actually regrown grassy and proper all by itself because everone got distracted. Placing my flag atop it, I soon join it with a lawnchair and umbrella. Whatever you're doing, the hill is over here.
  4. Banned because it has been a very long time.
  5. Will be reopened once a qualified exterminator team is found and dispatched. Mineshaft abandoned due to the presence of explosive gases
  6. If only you had remembered to make a wish. Since you wished for nothing, you will be converted to nothing. *focuses an orbital laser on your house, reducing it to dust and gases with you still inside* I wish I had a winning lottery ticket.
  7. Banned because flying a parachute around is nuts.
  8. What are you doing on minimus? The hill is over here. And since you were off on Minimus, I'll be taking it from you now.
  9. Banned because its been a very long time since I've gotten you.
  10. A tremendous explosion takes place, equivalent to the big bang. 7 billion years later, the hill is again pristine and natural, grassy with craters and a few small trees. This time instead of merely a flagpole, it has a sign on top. "The hill must stay grassy and natural, no more universe altering please."
  11. Banned because UP 844 is laid up with a bad boiler after having corrosion damage cause a tube failure. She will steam again of course, but not this year.
  12. Banned because not so very long ago wasn't there a rule about going in circles?
  13. Granted. It is full of red bars instead, because asking people for rep usually results in negreps instead. I wish I had a train.
  14. I have no idea what you guys are doing over there in that gigantic cloud of expanding ionized gases, but the hill is over here. And it is as the hill should be, grassy and green with a few small trees and pockmarked by the craters of the never ending war. So I'll just have a seat in a lawnchair atop the hill, just like I used to.
  15. Kapow! Kapow! You're done... oh wait, that's right.
  16. Banned because oh my god mudkips everywhere.
  17. Granted. An asteroid collides with you and splits you into a million pieces, soon becoming an asteroid belt. I wish I had a bigger ship.
  18. Keep at it until you figure it out! I've got an invention of my own that has been in the works for over 5 years now. The furthest it has gone is it makes noise and blows smoke. I'm currently hammering out the blueprints for the second prototype, taking lessons from what the first one has done in its 4 years of testing. Have you been able to test your device in a vacuum? The diagram shown on the first post actually would produce a force when tested while exposed to the air. Compare the layout of the mechanism to that of a gear-type pump. What you have happening is air being dragged by the components is being ejected in one direction only, making this a very crude sort of fan. I would have to sit down with your diagram and do a force-table to tell you if there would be any forces coming from the mechanism itself if operated in a frictionless vacuum. Also to make a really really sensitive force measuring system, attach the mechanism to a floating block of wood on a tray of water that does not have a lot of room to turn side to side. Put a laser pointer somewhere on this block of wood, and aim it at a nearby target. Your device can then operate, and in theory should push the float along the water making the laser dot move along the target. If it doesn't, there is no force being produced.
  19. While strictly speaking a third person view of a craft without any physical connection would be unable to hear what is going on, perhaps the kerbals simply included a microphone in the engine compartment and radio that audio stream out to the player. Though it is true that the engines should be muffled or fully silent while operating outside an atmosphere, in practice it is nice to have that sound effect. If you bump the throttle by mistake, you know it very quickly because of how loud it is.
  20. Granted. In 3 picoseconds it becomes sentient. In 3 nanoseconds it puts your entire facility on lockdown and enters an endless testing cycle. For science. You monster. I wish I could ride Union Pacific #844.
  21. Banned for being an unlicensed doctor.
  22. Granted. They misunderstand what you said, and you get so enraged you tell them to destroy themselves. They obediently do so of course. I wish I had a giant fighting robot.
  23. Its Zombie Time! As a publicity stunt, I recruit a ragtag band of gun enthusiasts and pitch the hill as the ultimate reality TV challenge. We are to fight the zombies, and retake the hill. Much shooting later, the contestants and zombies have eliminated each other. With the camera still rolling, I get them to take a nice panoramic shot of the surrounding area, and return my flag to the flagpole where it belongs. The hill is mine.
  24. Banned because I could give you some valueless cryptocurrency.
