Welcome welcome!

A Chief Executive Officer, is the first amongst equals, not a true director, that's why they have a board of directors that votes on a motion, A Company may have a president and a CEO, with the CEO being the administrator and the president being the owner.
An Incorporated businesss though, due to the complexities of subsidiary companies, elects a CEO to be the "face" of the corporations that compose it, with CEOs being quite possibly outvoted on a motion. Why there's no president? Because taxation and stuff, something too complex to explain here. The gist of it, is to circumvent monopoly laws (Rockefellers used own pretty much every single oil company before those laws, still do, but under Incorporated means).
A Company focuses on ONE thing. A Corporation has divisions, where officers come into play, like CTOs (Chief Technology Officer). For example Bliard is a games' company, they make games, nothing else. Apple is Inc. (incorporated) as they make different pieces of technology, that fall under different taxation schemes.
The bottom-line is, the name of the org is misleading, it has nothing to do with cryogenics and it's a Co. not Inc. given it does not state anywhee in it of a board of directors and share-holding, and it's in the business of "cryogenics", even though it has nothing to do with that field as of its description
I've considered having myself cryonicized, if for nothing more than the sheer novelty of it. I don't think there'll be a medical advance major enough in the near future to justify any scientific motive for cryonics, though.

I can't believe this is still going.

That and why Incorporated when it's clear someone's aiming to be a president of a company? Incorporated means they got a shareholder meeting.
I am confuzled.
Perhaps you mean CEO? As far as I know, corporations are fully able to have shareholders and a board of directors along with a Chief Executive.

How about shingles and log-type siding for buildings? I know this is going to be the future and all, but who doesn't like a good ol' log cabin!
Maybe pathways too, like brick, flagstone, marble, etc.
Marble is a must.

I second, third, and fourth the motion for fountains. It would appear that the technical restraints for accurate and precise water physics would be difficult to overcome, but if we added maybe a pseudo-water material as in Minecraft, or even just particles textured to look like water (for fountains), this would be possible to implement.

BOO suspected of operating intergalactic Ashley Madison website
Honestly though, can we take a moment to appreciate how accurate this actually is?

"Aetherios has an 'r' too. He's also a legitimate Cybrex alt (he actually has a certificate in case you want to verify.)... and guess what?
He uses Discord!
Wait a minute...You have an 'r' in your name too. I'm sure you use Discord as well. Could it be...perhaps...I have a feeling...are you a Cybrex alt too?
"
Shiitake mushrooms! I've been exposed!

Spam? Where?(looks around actually looking for spam)
No, no. Silly Xplosiv. The spam is in Cinderfall's spam channel, not here. Tsk tsk.

Welcome welcome to the fabulous
worlduniverse of DU! -
@mmtheboss, No, I'm more here for Unity. We need to be united as empires. The pirates and the heavy republics are all above us in numbers now, and number means visibility, popularity.
So we don't need to know, but if you are contracted by the SE (and them only I mean), they take no responsibility of your actions? I don't get it here.
Define "heavy republics".

Your AFW link is broken and I can't find the org by searching its name. Is it really here?
Perhaps try "Galactic Commonwealth", as I believe that is what TheSlaxx said it was renamed to.

Right you are. And most blueprints are going to be player-created anyway, so it's not going to be backers getting loads of blueprints for free. Sure, there'll be some pre-made ones, but the vast majority will be handcrafted.

You are both found to be illegal aliens ... Donald Trump kicks you both out ... I climb up the hill ... Donald builds a wall around to keep you guys out ....
I am king of the hill
The Chinese very well know that walls don't work. I fly over the wall in my hover.
Oh dear. I've accidentally landed my hover on you.
I am King of the Hill.

I marry UnderhandAerial. I am Queen of the Hill.

. Everyone who's written a story has done a phenomenal job of it. I really do think it's going to be a close call.

Well, I'm certainly late to the party. How did I not hear about this until now?
This looks like a truly exciting undertaking. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors, yama. Things like this capture the essence of what Dual Universe really is meant to be, and I hope this will soon become a reality. We at Cinderfall will be more than happy to support you on your journey through the stars, should you want it.
Cheers and happy New Year!
