Waiting for me to do what sorry?

Also, I thought the meteor was going to hit in 6 days? Or is that "real" days, rather than "RP" days?

Unlucky....
Hope you find a way to get around it.

TWO RANDOM PC'S WILL DIE IN THE METEOR BLAST!

To the super deep underground base near the core made of an external shell of indestructable rock!

What happens if we die, can we rejoin with a new character or are we out compleatley?

We perma-die Raptor.

I hpe I dont die...I was toying with the idia that my charachter will try to renounce hes heretical ways...(just had a scary thought...eversor/raptor romance anyone?)

Ok, I hope my super hard bunker at the center of the earth protects me. Plus, I enchanted the asteroid so it kills more people!

Chowder would have to come up with something incredible to be able to kill me without blowing up the planet!

the center of the earth is molten hot iron...and takes weeks to get there if you had a tunnel

I have a portal.
And the base is made of an almost indestructable substance created by my death gods.

If you had a hollow tunnel through the Earth, it would take about 50 minutes to "fall" to the other side of the planet.

I was talking about walking


(and no charachter is safe from the GM...)

That would be so much fun.
Just sayin'.

I am not sure if that is taking into account air resistance or the spin of the earth though.

But yes, it would be fun

what about gravity changes? once you got to the core you would be at the center of gravity and stuck.

No, you would not be stuck because you would still be moving (quite fast). What happens is that you "fall", accelerating towards the core as you go. When you reach the core, you shoot through the other side and start decelerating. This means, with no air friction or other loss of energy, you would slow until you reached the surface at the other side at the exact same speed at which you entered where you started.

or you would be torn in half by the gravity/acceration clash...at least you would get some dislocated/broken bones

No, you wouldn't. You would be weightless at the centre of the Earth before beginning to gradually decelerate.

Anyway, we shall have to wait and see what happens.
