What a frightening last sight, if true... Cthulhu shooting a deuce out on ye' olde thunderbucket.

Cümberfaß Élbhärdy!!

 

[enterthemadness]

Envision the Hype as its own great civilization on the cusp of both a bright future and catastrophic catastrophe. What is its culture, government, traditions? Who are the civilization's notable denizens? What are some of the myths and legends of Hypelantis?

Go.

Hype Govt': Libertarian. Or full on Big Brother R and or D.

And everybody loves cats.


And I always beat you and Sawyer in sports,


I didn't take this seriously...

 

[Fallen Angel]

Burn this place to the ground. Maybe I should call Liam Neeson.

 

[Guts]

Burn this place to the ground. Maybe I should call Liam Neeson.

You call Liam Neeson and I call Arnold Schwarzenegger.

 

[DarkSentinel]

You'll not take my empire from me!!!

 

[Piper Maru]

I miss Atlantis. It was truly a place of awe and wonder, but it's nothing more than a memory that's fading.

 

[Iceman]

Can't you rebuild?

 

[Fallen Angel]

You'll not take my empire from me!!!

It was never yours son.

 

[Iceman]

Who's is it?

 

[DarkSentinel]

Still mine. Always mine.

 

[Piper Maru]

Can't you rebuild?

I'll just let DarkSentinel rebuild it.

 

[Iceman]

I'll just let DarkSentinel rebuild it.

He needs help (and not just with rebuilding Hypelantis).

Hypelantis's Schoolchildren Not Learning The Lingua Franca

The Issue

After a recent national survey revealed that almost three-quarters of the population only know the primary language of Hypelantis, there have been rising calls for the government to take action.

The Debate

"Fluency in foreign languages is imperative to education," says Professor Hope Barry of Hypelantis University. "Learning a new tongue not only gives a child a practical, marketable skill, but also encourages compassion and understanding of foreign cultures. With so many nations in the world, I do insist that we increase government funding in these areas and make it a compulsory part of the curriculum. As we say in Ancient Maxtopian: froggug sederty bungo-bungo!"

Accept?

"To be frank, the need for outsiders' speak doesn't appeal to me in the slightest!" claims Zack Eliot, a fierce patriot. "Making our children learn these languages is an affront to the basic civil rights of Hypelantis! What's more, this will encourage those damn foreigners to come here and take our jobs! I for one, will not stand for it! We can drop that area of education; it'll give us tax payers a bit of a breather for once. I've always said that we don't need any others but our own!"

Accept?

 

[Iceman]

Hypelantis is for only the best. Every resident should be fluent in at least 8 languages. Learning should be compulsory and those who fail should be a part of the anuual purification cull.

 

[DarkSentinel]

A little harsh, Iceman, but I like where you're headed

 

[Superwoman Prime]

"Professor Barry. There is logic in what he says."

Hypelantis Decides:
A Capital City For Hypelantis?


As Hypelantis continues to grow, so too does its government. The number of politicians needed to administrate and legislate the country is rapidly surpassing the Houses of Parliament's capacity with ministers often requiring periscopes to see the House Speaker. Some are suggesting a new building be built in another city - a city which would then be designated as the capital city of Hypelantis.

The Debate

"I would like to make a humble recommendation for my own proud jurisdiction," says Violet True, mayor of one of Hypelantis's major cities. "It would be an honour for our city to be host to the seat of power! If it will seal the deal, you can change the name if you like..."


"Hah! Capital city indeed!" shouts John Summers, a fervent anarchist, spilling leaflets all over the floor. "What's wrong with being free as the wind? Do you really think one city could possibly represent a whole country? Its people? I've had enough of the man trying to screw us down all the time! Say NO to a national capital!"


"I can accept and even approve of having a capital city," says Agnes Neumann, a military strategist. "But we'd be putting all our eggs in one basket if we choose somewhere too vulnerable! Believe me, capitals always get the brunt of the enemy attack because of their political and economic importance. We should put aside a few billion birches and build our capital city underground. They'll never bomb us there!"


"I've got an idea," says theme park tycoon, Lindsay Tew. "My company will happily sponsor the new establishment and cover all costs - as long as it's made to our specifications. We've already got plans drawn up to put a roller coaster straight through the House of Commons! A cafe, some kiosks for ice cream... maybe even a water slide or two in the lobby! It'll be one part legislative seat of government, one part family-fun theme park! Tourists will flock from around the globe!"



"What's wrong with the old building?" asks Lee Sanchez, a noted disestablishmentarian. "We don't need some kind of fancy capital city just to make the bigwig ministers feel important! If there's no room, then fire politicians until there IS room. Have you never heard of doing more with less?"


The government has yet to formalize a position on this issue

 

[Iceman]

Aquaman and his army will back the campaigns of Neumann & Tew. Aquaman appoints Neumann as Hypelantis Minister of Defence and Tew as Director of Special Projects. True will be pardoned for her exuberance and allowed to remain on the governing council with funds for sponsorship to apply for status as one of the secondary cities of Hypelantis, if she can contribute sufficiently to the defence of the realm. Summers and Sanchez will be flogged in the town square, put in stocks and pelted with rotten vegetables and (rotten) milk-bombs at midday, every day, for a decade and a half.

Long live Hypelantis!

 

[DarkSentinel]

So which is your choice, Iceman? I kind of like the idea of a theme park capital.

 

[Ultron-5]

So this is Hypelantis. Huh. It seems pretty empty.

 

[Ultron-5]

Anybody there?

The Hypelantis Restoration Proposal Part 1.​

Hello there. I, Ultron-5, have a plan to restore the once splendid city of Hypelantis to it's former glory. 3 centuries have passed since the one known as Fallen Angel brought upon a famine and sharks unto the exquisite city of Hypelantis. More then 12,000 lives, including that of King Darksentinel III, were lost. In the centuries that followed the destruction of Hypelantis, scholars and philosophers have spoken and taught the last days of Hypelantis, but fact has since become fiction. I have discovered the ruins of the once grand city. I have know come up with a plan to rebuild, restore, and teach to the masses that fiction is indeed fact. Many historians have brought up the legend that the Philosophers Stone and many other mythical artifacts were kept in King Darksentinels vault. I will have my men search through the ruins to find the remains of Darksentinels vault, so we can finally lay our eyes on some of the most legendary artifacts of all time. That's all for now folks. In Part 2. of my restoration proposal I will detail what the new Hypelantis will feature.
