Has anyone ever seriously tried to make a psiball out of threads using the image or model of a rubber band ball?
What would be some uses of such a construct?
This is just something that I thought of and am testing to see if I can find any practical use for. It has not been in process for long though.

A very, very bouncy construct. Uses? Maybe a game of psi racket ball? Oh, practical uses... None that I can think of.

It would be an interesting way to keep a construct protected from tampering I would imagine, like in the fact that if you cut one, it would snap off and leave the rest untouched.
Or maybe if you shelled some more over the top of it it would be like a golf ball and you could go take a round on the 18...

FIIIIIIIIVE er wait... that's not right. Anyhoo, more seriously. Good idea, lunin. Also, the preasure exerted by that many 'rubber bands' would make it a much denser sheild, I would think, so harder to pick apart to start with without removing and untangling each strand. (Ever tried to actually UNdo a rubberband ball? of decent size?) Definitely something to play with and see what it does. ~The Devil's Advocate

Good ideas. I hadn't thought about the last two suggestions. I was originally just thinking about the complexity of that many constructs being interwoven and connected. Any more?

I'm thinking just for practice you could do the same thing that anyone would do with a regular rubber band ball. Make it bigger. Every day add more to this ball and see how well you're shelling it and keeping it in good shape.

It would definitely be good practice. Wow! Can you imagine trying to hold hundreds or thousands of thread constructs together in a single ball? Just think of the power and complexity of such a task. It blows my mind. I'm not sure I'm quite there yet. I'll start with ten.

Would you need to do hundreds of thousands of individual constructs? Or just hundreds of thousands of 'rubber loops' within a single construct?

I imagine the best method would to have it all be the same construct, but have all the individual 'bands' being separate as far as energy goes, so if one snaps or is removed, it will in no way effect the other ones. (unless you were going for the tangled version in which each individual band would be pulled upon or overlapped by the ones nearest to it)
If it was a large number of small constructs, I don't think it would hold up nearly as well over time, but then constructs are far from my specialty so I may be wrong on that, and there would be the advantage of each individual construct being able to be programmed and that the separate bands would be completely separate instead of just separate in energy.

He's posted that in another thread too, which has nothing to do with psi balls. Dude, Lethal. Look at me and listen. Go read some articles. Then, go practice. Then, if you're still having trouble, practice some more. If you've practiced every day for like two-three weeks, then come ask us what you see is a problem. Anyway, back to business. I was thinking along the same lines as Wolf with constructs linking to each other. This would be for a more advanced practice for people who have already mastered a normal single construct and want to test their limits. True, it would be more efficient to make it one single construct of looped threads, but I think you could do either and have a good practice. Perhaps if you're trying to practice on thread constructs or just single constructs in general, making a single construct out of threaded/looped psi would be a good way to go. But if you were attempting to toy with several constructs or if you were seeing how many constructs you could link together and how well you could shell the unfinished product, you'd probably want to go the other way. Either way, it sounds like fun to me.

You make a good point lunin. And yes, I don't see this being a begginer's introduction to threads and psionic bouncy balls. (Ok slight humor in there, or at least I thought so.) I'd personally like to see if I can do that many disseparate loops and still make it a single construct. I've never tried it. With my thread construct it's still a cohesive WHOLE, where as this would be designed to be one thing, yet by definition not completely cohesive.

Hmm.... Not sure the applications. If you take the time to individually shell THAT many loop constructs, more power too you. Even doing them in batches of 10 or more at atime (which is about all I can do and maintain any sort of stability) It would take quite a while. Then feeding all of them to keep them from degrading is another problem. Still. it definatly would be a good excercise in maintaing large ammounts of constructs, so from that viewpoint I'd say go for it. As for defence... You don't have to pick it appart one at a time if you can just destroy the whole thing, or punch through in one place. (Not going any further on that particual topic).
As for it's correlaction to thread-con? Usually threads are just used for allowing overlapping programming to affect the same raw energy. if you layer that much thread (which is extremly dencely programmed and projective) to gether, and don't set it up right, the thread will probably destroy the other stuff around it. While they can be woven without *quite* touching, you start packing it together too tightly and it will start to conflict.
Just my two bits.

Why should it be multiple individual constructs? And I've got a good tight weave on my outer shield. PM or IM me some day, Cullen, and take a scan at my curtain shield. it's the tightest weave I have. You and I really need to compare notes directly. ~The Devil's Advocate
