hmm. Do we have to actually change it and resubmit or can we post answers in the comments?

Answers in the comments will do

For 1, probably try to create some kind of substitute, like something that might taste like it, without actually having to come from me.

2, Probably try to warn them not to take such fatal risks, but if they persist, would have some of them stay dead for a while to punish their rampant stupidity. Like, reviving accidental death and whatnot, but if they try to play Russian Roulette with a revolver with fully loaded chambers, it's their own damn fault and they'll stay in purgatory for a few weeks to think about what they did.

3. Probably try to separate the warring groups as best as possible, like on different planets where they couldn't reach each other, while the peaceful sub-groups could live together.

4. It mentions nothing about having to eat inhabited planets, so why not just send them after uninhabited / lifeless worlds?

5. Simply put my foot down and outright state that worshiping others is NOT heresy unless the other worshipers are doing stuff like human sacrifice or causing mass chaos or somesuch. If they didn't get the message, I'd follow the #2 and simply stop reviving them for a while if they feel they're invincible and insist on wars, or otherwise drop them somewhere they can't harm others until they get it through their thick skulls.

6. Since I'm not sure what kind of powers they actually have, wouldn't it be possible for a macrocracy member to essentially "clone" the land? Placing it in a pocket dimension so one group gets one, the other group gets the other, and both link back to the planet. Technically both groups have the land simultaneously and if the transition between Earth and the pocket dimensions is seamless enough neither group would ever know.


7. Would it be possible to create a kind of Monsters Inc scenario? Themeparks where people go specifically because it's scary as a form of entertainment, with that species feeding on it in exchange for helping maintain and run it.

8. Honestly? Would probably just watch and wait for them to die out and pull a #2 while I restored the planet and its inhabitants. Feeling first hand how bad the pollution and environmental destruction is when they grow boils and burn wounds from toxic air, assuming that IS how they destroyed the environment, would probably get it through their heads not to do it again. Sometimes people can't be reasoned with and only understand others pain if they go through it themselves.

9. Probably attempt to do whatever good deeds necessary to get in good graces, but if they kept slandering me and whatnot even after that, not really sure.

10. Probably see if I could trick him into giving the power to me so I could do a better job. If necessary could always offer a lifetime of whatever hedonism he wants in exchange for the power. Eventually it's possible he'd just get sick and bored of it all and reform, not unlike the idea of heaven on overdrive, so perfect and ideal that it's outright boring and frustrating, like a casino where you always win, no risk, no chance, no thrill just win win win boringly for eternity.

oh, with 9, might it be possible to infiltrate the religion and over time slowly change it, even if it took decades? As far as I'm aware, Macocracy comes with immortality so it would just be a matter of time and effort. Worst case scenario could always try to find a different culture.

Everybody is immortal in the macrocracy but you will have to run for re-election or a apply for the appointment again if there area remains unprepared for elections (e.g. in societies that are very submissive to any form of authority or are so wracked by devisions that no candidate will be regarded as litigimate)

These are all good answers.

Re 6 + 7 things like that would be possible for macrocrats of mayoral level and higher. These ones are about 500ft to a mile tall and have about 100 000 or so sentients in their area. Nearly all of these are elected from the area they care for. Any intellectually adult being can apply for this role, the lowest level that is usually present in the macrocratic government (very spread out regions like beings that selt in astroid belts may have lower levels made on a as needed basis). Those with a least one term experience at this level can apply for the next tier up where power size and reponsiblities are about 10 times as much.

If a macrocrat doesn't have the power to do something (like 3 if new planets are required) they can pass it up to the next tier who can very quickly reply as mental bandwidth increases with size if the problem still can't be resolved it can be passed up and up and might even get as high as whoever the current "biggest one" is who is constitutionally required to mass at least as much as the rest of the macrocracy combined smart enough to simultanously talk with every being in the macrocracy and so powerful a whole new branch of mathematics had to be invented to describe it.

Interesting. And I did notice in the other journal you mentioned that we could help come up with other story ideas to work on.

I'm pretty sure I could make a decent story from almost any pretext, especially if it makes do sense at all. Two things that I will not do as well as other authors are pure porn (i.e. something of no interest if the reader doesn't have the fetishes in it) and a simple rampaging story (ones that go something like this: Bob the anthromorphic fox saw someone on the internet disagreed about who the best pony is, he then got mad and grew to 300ft tall. He then ransacked the city because that is what you do when your 300ft tall. The military could do nothing because he was SO HUUUGE (flip a coin if heads they made him bigger). Pretty much everyone and everything in the city is fucked (probably literally). After destroying everything he shrinks down to normal and faces no conquences at all for commiting genocide for a bloody stupid reason (even by genocide standards). END, or is it, no he does pretty much the same thing about a dozen more times) because I've read PLENTY of them.

Yeesh. Yeah, I don't particularly care much for those either, though I am trying to think up an idea involving Disney's Stitch, but so far no luck.

Here's some

Back when Jubba made Stitch he designed a fail safe so stitch would still cause chaos even if he was captured. Hidden deep within stitches spleen (because spleen is fun to say) is a container that that is triggered to open if the local chaos level (measured using the chaosometer in discordians) drops to low. This releases the virus 626b who is designed to mutant and transform stitch until acceptable chaos level are restored. After all the experiments have been turned to good there is no longer enough chaos and the virus gets to work, after more then 600 experiments Jubba has had to chaos proof the house and so the first series of wacky transformations don't cause enough chaos the virus decides to just make stitch really really really huge.

Since stitch has been really good Jubba builds stitch a super high tech alien VR system for his crash day. In here stitch can finally cause or the chaos he wants without making lilo mad. He soon tries macro.

Stitch visits Tokyo. Whilst he was there Tokyo is running the biannual Kaiju cup where thousands of giant monsters from across the universe battle against each other. Stitch wants to take part and so pesters Jubba into making him into a Kaiju. With every round the contestants are grown twice as big.

Jubba finding the freezer empty makes an experiment that shoots out unlimited quantities of ice cream. Pretty soon everybody is full up. This makes the new experiment very sad. Stitch decides to eat more icecream to make it feel better. Every time he cries to stop I.C. (lilo's name for it) gives stitch puppy dog eyes and he ends up starting again. Things quickly get out of hand.

When a planet eating squid is headed for the earth it is decided the only to stop it is grow stitch to planet sized to battle it.

haha. The last two are eh, though the first three sound good. Funnily enough there's also an experiment named Shrink, 001, specifically designed to make others huge or tiny. In one episode showing it, Stitch actually became almost 4 floors tall and could hold a person in a single hand King Kong style. Fun thing about Stitch is if he likes something he typically does it ridiculously overboard.

Any other ideas?

I was thinking that the giant squid in 5 would turn out to be friendly it just underestimated it size a teeny tiny bit and thought that the earth was an electron. Later it shares its size-shifting power with stitch and they try out all of the sizes from electron is a planet to universe gets up stitches nose and he sneezes.

6. Jubba invents a device that steals the powers from other experiments. Stitch steals this and soon losses all restraint and steals all the powers for himself, for some reason his also makes stitch cosmically huge.

7. Jubba leaves his lab unlocked and stitch breaks in to create his own experiment. He naturally decides to make another one of himself first. He rushes it an forgets to give the experiment a fixed size, therefore it just keeps growing and growing and growing.

haha. Since Angel and Stitch are usually a couple, I bet they'd make a great duo for the macrocracy provided Stitch could behave himself since he's defended his home planet several times and even saved the entire galaxy in one episode, so he's definitely good at heart even if he is a bit mischievous at times.

I think a good planet for stitch would have his

This species has a very decentralised biology making them practically immune to physical attacks. This species reproduces by having bits of them seperated from themselves and becoming seperate beings (like plants and flatworms). Also as the they get older and older and get tougher and tougher until mature adults become practically impossible to break bits off of, doing this becomes a job for stitch.

Also I've added 5 more questions to the thing. Maybe you could answer them as stitch and/or angel?

For 11, probably try to use alien tech or higher powers to create a kind of tesseract dimension, IE space would continually fold in on itself whenever more room was needed. Think a D&D Bag of Holding, only containing an entire outer plane, but not sure what Stitch would do.

12, Introduce them to video games of course! As for Stitch's answer, probably cause chaos to liven the place up, provided no one was injured, and Angel would probably use her siren song to become a popstar to entertain others.

13, Knowing Stitch, he'd probably eat the whole damn thing, getting hugely, adorably fat and huggable in the process, which would only make him a better guardian.

14. I honestly have absolutely no idea.

15. Probably try to get out as fast as possible.

Oooh! Since Angel is a singing star in the anime, what if she grew for every fan she acquired with Stitch along for bigness ride since Stitch has basically almost completely replaced Mickey on a lot of Disney merchandise, so what if he grew from his fans as well, and since Stitch has a large appetite, would even give him an excuse to be all tubby and soft, making him even more likable / cute and thus gathering more fans to hug.

Though am I the only one to actually enter, because it doesn't look like anyone else is,at least not here.
