This is a Blog pretending to be a WebPage, here not just to post daily musings. Rather each post is a page dedicated to one topic only. The end of Geocities heralded the end of personal web pages, but it was not the first by far! There was AOL's HomeTown, Fortune City, and many others that were free. Then came the community based bulletin boards specializing in books, events, even sales; personal ones like Xanga...and the list goes on. Now social media has gone further than even those. Popularity shifted from MySpace to Friendster [still a favorite in the Philippines] and now FaceBook has exceeded all of those [500 million served in mid-2010].
Then there is commercial web hosting. These follow formats that can have elements that can be personalized. You choose from a variety of designs individuals have developed and submitted for distribution. Users are called bloggers.
How This Works is I am building a fictional Omniverse [as opposed to a Universe or Multiverse].
The TARDIS is just a start to travel up and down the timestream using Earth as a theater for any ground or naval based adventure. Ancient, modern, future, post-apocalyptic. Observe and manipulate up to entire civilizations.
Then extending outwards from different points of divergences [POD] along that timeline. we will travel to any of an infinite number of alternate Earths.
Next I will be using the USS Enterprise or another such vessel [since copywrite laws extend into the WEB] to travel to different star systems where many life-forms exist.
Then there are those where Humanity is alone in the cosmos [Asimov's Foundation]. Or just a galaxy cut off from ours with space-flight still in its infancy, rebuilding empires and using diplomacy and warfare [EVE]. Even a galaxy where Earth is up against one totally alien [HALO; WH40K].
Then there is the Fantasy genre, where not all the laws of physics apply. Still Earth-like, space based, within our percievable realm of the imagination [AD&D, Ironwood].
Beyond that is to be of a Pantheon of beings able to manipulate all of the above. Preparing for mellenia for an aeons long war to end everything, and begin anew. To be repeated again and again.
OR, returning to Earth, living out a mundane life, not aware of all of the realms of the imponderable [blogs].

Simplified Role Play
The Infinity GameThere are two kinds of
cards to put in Play.
Things are people, vehicles, places... troops, starships, fleets, cities, nations, planets, empires.
Actions are what can be done in a 3-second turn, or in a canpaign, ie, year.
There are two kinds of Actions...
Active attacks, skill checks based on what the Thing in Play can do
Defensive saves, as an action or passive.
There are other cards to play The Game...
Events are Missions, Encounters, and timed Events.
Goals are held and once met are shown to end the Game.
--------------------------------------
Take 25 chits and place 10 on the board. This your Home Base.
Build three mobile Units with 3, 2, and 1 chit.
Place one chit on every space adjacent to your Home, as explored, at the cost of 1 chit each.
Continue, spreading out adjacent spaces to claim them. You may establish a Colony on any of them by adding to its value (up to 5 total each).
End Set up
Log your Things and Actions
Every Turn
Move Units at no cost within explored space, as follows:
E1 up to six spaces to an unclaimed space to explore it at the cost of 1 chit;
D2 up to five spaces to patrol and defend explored space at no cost;
C3 up to four spaces in explored space to establish, resupply an Outpost or Colony at the cost of 1 chit;
Build a Unit at Home at the cost of 1 chit (2 Turns for a D2; 3 for C3) for every 10 chits currently in your Treasury
Market changes by flipping the chits remainng in your Treasury, showing Gains minus Losses.
Collect "taxes" from member worlds and Colonies with a positive market; pay those others.
Episodes
Missions are drawn and applied to a random explored space for the nearest suitable Unit to perform;
Encounters are random and occur as a surprise on any one Unit from an external source;
Tasks are dull routine and are applied on any Unit as internal skill checks.
Combat occurs when a border is breached by another Player's mobile Unit
--------------------------------------------------
Space Based Empires
Home world and Base 10 Economic Production points [EP]
Multi-mission Cruiser CR3 2 phasers p/s, 1 torpedoe tube fwd; move 1-4
Military Destroyer DD2 2 phasers p/s, 1 torpedoe tube fwd; move 1-5
Explorer Scout ES1 2 phasers p/s, 1 torpedoe tube fwd; move 1-6
Move the Scout ship one space and explore it for the following:
Main sequence star
Planetary system with minerals
Class M world with resources
Civilization and technology
- cost: 1 EP
End Turn 1
Every Turn
Move Scout to an unexplored space and repeat the procedure OR
Return to Home Base for rest, re-stock, repairs or refit [RRnR]
Move Destroyer to Patrol any explored space
Move Cruiser to any explored star-planetary system to claim it
- it costs 1 EP to establish an Outpost
Each of the fillowing ships may do the following at the cost of 1 EP;
Scouts plant a bouy or sensor station (surface);
Destroyers establish a weapons platform or defense outpost (surface);
Cruisers begin construction of a starbase (planetary or deep space);
Transports (convoy) add infrastructure to any established colony or outpost;
Traders (merchant fleets) and Corporations (planet bound HQs) provide economic stability;
A ship may not pass through an unexplored space without stopping to explore it first;
Any ship may move up to its maximum, no more than 6 parsecs from an established Outpos or Base.
- there is no cost for movement within explored space.
Economics
Everything costs resources in the form of manpower, materiel, and production.
Each Player begins with a Treasury of 25 EPs to be used every "year" or about ten Turns.
- a shipyard for every 10 EP in the Treasury at the start of the Turn;
- starship construction of about 50,000 tons of superstructure, a weapons or mission specialty suite, power and systems distribution, capable of carrying 100+ crew;
FR1 takes a year to build; CA4 takes four years from being laid to comissioned.
Missions, encounters, and tasks
Missions are drawn and applied to any explored parsec-space;
Encounters are random and occur as a surprise on any one ship;
Tasks are dull routine and are applied on any ship.
Combat
Players may attempt to hinder opposing Players thru direct combat at a frontier (edge). The winner takes the loser's piece played. You just present one of your beloved Pieces and declare combat. If you win, you gain agreed upon Points based on the opponent's strength compared to your own AND you take that Piece for your own.
The space and its counterpart is declared a border, neutral zone, nexus, or wormhole between Players' empires. Entry into this space by either side is an act of war. Expansion around it is still allowed.
An opposing Player may covet your Empire, or just part of it's growing territory.
Espionage allows Players to destabilize part of an opponent's empire. A failed attempt loses that asset and points are awarded to its captor.

The Klingon and Romulan Empires
The Klingons were originally portrayed as the primary antagonists in the 1960s. A Cold War existed as much as with the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics then. Expansion from Q'Onos [Moscow] was twofold. A buffer of member worlds [republics] and and conquest of farther resource sectors.
Romulans are a secretive race, similar to the Maoist China of the latter half of the 20th century to the present. Borders and internal security are paramount as in North-South Korea.
Komerex Klinzhai and Stelaam Romulus
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And though I had slain a thousand foes less one,
The thousandth knife found my liver;
The thousandth enemy said to me,
'Now you shall die,
Now none shall know.'
And the fool, looking down, believed this,
Not seeing, above his shoulders, the naked stars,
Each one remembering.
--John M. Ford, The Final Reflection
I am a scholar on all things TtlhIngan. As a society, they are a proud and honorable race. There are many career paths, but the military is the most prominent in the current society. All paths are competetive, centering on individual strengths and loyalty first to the Empire, then to their House. Terraan equivalent would be the US Marine Corps. Q'pla !
Topic: Klingon Intelligence Report
The less populated and explored regions of the Komerex is similar to Siberia and the Russian tundra of Earth. For millennia it has had small outposts, too small to be considered towns by any standards. Before the advent of aircraft, these served as way stations for overland rail transport. Primarily to the eastern ports established along the Pacific Ocean.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
I am a scholar of the Romulan Way. Romulans have been prortrayed as a proud, but xenophobic race. They are arrogant and mistrustful [of even their own kind, as the Tal'Shiar is the prime example]. Diane Duane, the author of the Rihansuu series shows their best sides. The later series shows their worst aspects with no redeeemng values. It is my hope to find an understanding of this race in all alternate realities, so that crewman Daniels doesn't have to tell Archer "You don't want to look at that" when reaching for the book "The Romulan Empire." Jolan tru.
Topic: Romulan Intelligence Report
The Stelaam Rihansuu has a large centralized form of bureaucracy that governs much of its territory and populace. Similar to the mainland China of Earth, it has been mostly ‘invisible’ to ‘western’ civilization. Even before the advent of the Tal Shiar, the government’s hold over its people, and to a grater extent, its extreme paranoia to other cultures has led to its strength. Other than its ‘open’ ports and physical geography, there is essentially nothing known of its internal society or economy.
- K’Rea 2250s- Federation space, above the Mempa sector. Two systems, offshoot Romulan race. One supported by Federation peacekeeping forces. The Other a fanatical government ‘tolerated’ by both empires,
- Indo-Ch’mn 2260s- costly civil war once raged, supported on opposing sides by Romulan and Star Fleet forces.
- Hmg’k’ng 2300- Former free-trade treaty territory ceded away from the Empire 2161 to 2299. Remains a trade hub after being retaken as Romulan territory. Southernmost near Federation space ports.
- T’wn [previously Frm’s’] 2245- dissidents and refugees after the fall and disgrace of the Emperor. Seeks Federation support and Star Fleet protection, even with an extensive TAD delivery network aimed at Romulan space.
- JPN 2340s- Klingons unknowingly allied against the Federation. Destroyed and reoccupied by true Klingons to save face.
- T’B’t/Iconian (ancient)- little is known about this ancient race. Current nomads and outposts are speculated to be at least three species removed.

The Federation-Klingon-Romulan Zone
A largely unexplored region of space running beyond but parallel to the furthest extent of each governments’ treaty zones of expansion. Extending roughly down-arm, each government has its goal, extending long fingers outwards. The Klingons already claim Adhara as their territory, although few ships have explored that far. The Federation has Canopus and beyond as staging areas for further expansion, but has not set up any permanent facilities this far from the home worlds. The Romulan Navies strive to extend beyond the confines of the imposed Neutral Zone as well as the Klingon incursion regions, Their ultimate goal is the Smaller Magellanic Cloud, of which Star Fleet has reached once.
In the overall galactic political picture, the Federation is hemmed in by the two empires to the ‘east’ with previously unknown dangers to the galactic ‘west.’ It was not until the mid-24th centuries that the boundaries of the Cardassian Union and the Tzenthi were tested and arbitrarily ‘defined’ as well as the Tholian Assembly. Later to be adversaries were the Breen Confederacy. These as well as the Romulans, would one day form the Typhon Pact set against the Federation-Klingon Alliance, in the late 24th century. Few ‘allies’ were to be found up-arm, the Ferengi and the First Federation being mostly loose trade routes rather than centralized space-faring governments.
As early as the 2260s it was deemed necessary to explore the richer worlds beyond the Mempa sector, and the furthest extent of the Romulan War Treaty zone.

Romulans are a secretive race, similar to the Maoist China of the latter half of the 20th century to the present. Borders and internal security are paramount as in North-South Korea.

And though I had slain a thousand foes less one,
The thousandth knife found my liver;
The thousandth enemy said to me,
'Now you shall die,
Now none shall know.'
And the fool, looking down, believed this,
Not seeing, above his shoulders, the naked stars,
Each one remembering.
--John M. Ford, The Final Reflection
I am a scholar on all things TtlhIngan. As a society, they are a proud and honorable race. There are many career paths, but the military is the most prominent in the current society. All paths are competetive, centering on individual strengths and loyalty first to the Empire, then to their House. Terraan equivalent would be the US Marine Corps. Q'pla !
Topic: Klingon Intelligence Report
The less populated and explored regions of the Komerex is similar to Siberia and the Russian tundra of Earth. For millennia it has had small outposts, too small to be considered towns by any standards. Before the advent of aircraft, these served as way stations for overland rail transport. Primarily to the eastern ports established along the Pacific Ocean.

I am a scholar of the Romulan Way. Romulans have been prortrayed as a proud, but xenophobic race. They are arrogant and mistrustful [of even their own kind, as the Tal'Shiar is the prime example]. Diane Duane, the author of the Rihansuu series shows their best sides. The later series shows their worst aspects with no redeeemng values. It is my hope to find an understanding of this race in all alternate realities, so that crewman Daniels doesn't have to tell Archer "You don't want to look at that" when reaching for the book "The Romulan Empire."

Topic: Romulan Intelligence Report
The Stelaam Rihansuu has a large centralized form of bureaucracy that governs much of its territory and populace. Similar to the mainland China of Earth, it has been mostly ‘invisible’ to ‘western’ civilization. Even before the advent of the Tal Shiar, the government’s hold over its people, and to a grater extent, its extreme paranoia to other cultures has led to its strength. Other than its ‘open’ ports and physical geography, there is essentially nothing known of its internal society or economy.
- K’Rea 2250s- Federation space, above the Mempa sector. Two systems, offshoot Romulan race. One supported by Federation peacekeeping forces. The Other a fanatical government ‘tolerated’ by both empires,
- Indo-Ch’mn 2260s- costly civil war once raged, supported on opposing sides by Romulan and Star Fleet forces.
- Hmg’k’ng 2300- Former free-trade treaty territory ceded away from the Empire 2161 to 2299. Remains a trade hub after being retaken as Romulan territory. Southernmost near Federation space ports.
- T’wn [previously Frm’s’] 2245- dissidents and refugees after the fall and disgrace of the Emperor. Seeks Federation support and Star Fleet protection, even with an extensive TAD delivery network aimed at Romulan space.
- JPN 2340s- Klingons unknowingly allied against the Federation. Destroyed and reoccupied by true Klingons to save face.
- T’B’t/Iconian (ancient)- little is known about this ancient race. Current nomads and outposts are speculated to be at least three species removed.

The Federation-Klingon-Romulan Zone
A largely unexplored region of space running beyond but parallel to the furthest extent of each governments’ treaty zones of expansion. Extending roughly down-arm, each government has its goal, extending long fingers outwards. The Klingons already claim Adhara as their territory, although few ships have explored that far. The Federation has Canopus and beyond as staging areas for further expansion, but has not set up any permanent facilities this far from the home worlds. The Romulan Navies strive to extend beyond the confines of the imposed Neutral Zone as well as the Klingon incursion regions, Their ultimate goal is the Smaller Magellanic Cloud, of which Star Fleet has reached once.
In the overall galactic political picture, the Federation is hemmed in by the two empires to the ‘east’ with previously unknown dangers to the galactic ‘west.’ It was not until the mid-24th centuries that the boundaries of the Cardassian Union and the Tzenthi were tested and arbitrarily ‘defined’ as well as the Tholian Assembly. Later to be adversaries were the Breen Confederacy. These as well as the Romulans, would one day form the Typhon Pact set against the Federation-Klingon Alliance, in the late 24th century. Few ‘allies’ were to be found up-arm, the Ferengi and the First Federation being mostly loose trade routes rather than centralized space-faring governments.
As early as the 2260s it was deemed necessary to explore the richer worlds beyond the Mempa sector, and the furthest extent of the Romulan War Treaty zone.
