You are Lisa Simpson "Goddess" of the Nano People.
In the Simpson "tree house of horror VII" Lisa creates 'life' in a petridish that has her tooth in it. The life quickly becomes a civilization and advances at an astonishing rate. By the end of the episode, the civilization has advanced into a "future" state full of flying saucers and spaceships. It ends with Lisa being 'shrunk' down into the dish so the people may better worship her. Unfortunately there seems no way to return her to proper size and she is stuck, worse Bart has taken the city and used it in a science fair.
So, in the spirit of "What happens next" Let us say you are suddenly Lisa. You have a population of perhaps 100,000 with an advanced technological base that has preformed the following feats:
Anti Gravity: Several saucers and ships with no visible means of lift are seen in the episode.
Advanced energy production: Weather its fusion or antimatter or something else, the civilization obviously has strong energy production as it got a 'spaceship' the (relative) size of an aircraft carrier airborne to attack Bart.
Matter Manipulation The "debigafyer" seems to shrink any normal sized item down to the same scale as the micro people, but is evidently a one way process.
It is only a matter of time before Bart tires of or forgets about the people and they are doomed. Your mission ensure the civilizations survival by leading them somewhere in the Big World where they can thrive and be safe. Weather or not you remain hidden to the rest of the world is up to you.

The safest spot to hide them from bart would be in library do in night when know one is around
For the record, you probably meant to write something like, "The safest spot to hide them from Bart would be in a/the library. (She should) do it at night when no one is around." Grammar be damned, at least try to spell words correctly.

Re: You are Lisa Simpson "Goddess" of the Nano People.
Yeah, a library, or possibly somewhere else in Lisa's room so he doesn't feel out of place too much. Do it BSG style, load everyone up into big ships and fly away under cover of darkness, perhaps while sending a diversionary attack against Bart. Bart them retaliates by destroying the empty city-tub, and henceforth he thinks you are no more, and the outside world becomes none the wiser to your eventual dominance

Re: You are Lisa Simpson "Goddess" of the Nano People.
That was similar to my thought, Springfield University might be a good place to go, somewhere either in the attic or in the basment, a good place that isn't normally disturbed. The biggest worry would be from other animals like insects or rats, btu given what we saw of their 'starships' firepower, they could easily drive away any invaders.
Long term I would want to get them up into the mountains, where they would have access to lots of materials without worrying about being disturbed by man.
One other thing, it is obvious that the nano people "move" faster, so a year for you might be only a week in the 'real world'

Re: You are Lisa Simpson "Goddess" of the Nano People.
Interesting point. However, from the bits we see of Bart putting the lid on, I think time doesn't run any slower necessariliy, but the nano people simply grow/reproduce/die/evolve a lot faster. Like humans but with a baterium's reproductive rates

Re: You are Lisa Simpson "Goddess" of the Nano People.
First order of business would be getting in touch with Prof. Frink. The nano-Frink equivalent is already working on a rebigulator, so combined with Frink they might be able to get me back to normal size quickly. Additionally Frink can be expected to keep the secret and even aid the civilization in the meantime. Once the rebigulator is completed it's time to super-size my people and procede to take over the world.
If Bart continues to pose a risk, shrink him and have the nano people lock him in jail.

Step #1 - Shrink Bart, lock him away (Already mentioned)
Step #2 - Use Big to get into position to interdict and intercept TV signals.
Step #3 - Use TV to contact parents. Get Professor Frink!
Step #4 - Rebigulator
Step #5 - Genetic Resequencing to turn me into a male. I don't want to be Lisa Simpson, sorry.
Step #6 - Take over World.

I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.
It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

1. Shrink Bart and incapacitate him (either kill him, freeze him in a solid block of ice, or put him in a cell with access to cartoons and video games). Possibly ask him for ideas on world domination since he's able to get away with so much in this show.
2. Move civilization to Library or other safe place with access to resources.
3. Set up multiple 'back up' colonies.
4. Develop space program in order to travel to the moon.
5. Set up lunar colony using advanced nano people tech, make use of lunar water and resources.
6. If the nano people have the tech/biology to survive and thrive on the moon then go crazy reproducing and building infrastructure. Like some kind of grey-goo schenario. Might want to put majority of operation on the dark side of the moon so humans are less likely to notice.
7. Later do the same with Mars.
8. Taking over Earth would be sort of difficult since humans could develop bug spray or whatever and have a much greater presence than the nanos. If the nanos can start their own home planet(oid) on the moon or mars and build up their resources then its a much more even playing field.
9. Make larger ships to defend against possible nuclear strikes (assuming the humans can develop interplanetary nuclear missiles) and invasions from Krang and Kodos.
10. Make contact with humans (by this time the economy of Earth should be self-destructing and massive unemployment/peak oil/environmental degradation/inflation would make Earth a miserable place to live). Give people the opportunity to join the Nano-Man Empire (The anagram alone should be hilarious) at which point they can shrink down and live in an empire of zillions. Any humans that threaten the N.M.E. will be debigafyed with tiny stealth ships and forcefully integrated into the new society.
11. Eventually debigafy all lazy, hostile, or environmentally unfriendly humans while leaving intelligent, peaceful, and eco-friendly humans to take care of the Earth. Keep tabs on all human animal and plant life and bring samples along with the nano-people to grow on new planets.
12. Then have nano-people spread out across the universe and form a Galactic Empire. Maybe build robots that are roughly human sized who can interact with other alien races while the actual 'brains' of the Empire are the nano people who move about unseen and are ready to debigafy hostile elements. Since the nanopeople are so small while retaining human (or superhuman) intelligence then most of the mass of the Empire could be dedicated to weaponry or industry even if trillions of people are living in an area the size of a petri dish or a bucket. Heck, you could have a ship like a Star Destroyer manned by a few thousand robots who are in turn controlled by a crew of billions living in little petri dishes.

Fry: No! They did it! They blew it up! And then the apes blew up their society too. How could this happen? And then the birds took over and ruined their society. And then the cows. And then... I don't know, is that a slug, maybe? Noooo!

Re: You are Lisa Simpson "Goddess" of the Nano People.
Is this me being in her position or me acting what I would do in her place? As in, how much of her personality is still in there. For example, do I replace Bart with [generic my brother] or with [generic random stupid kid]?
It has become clear to me in the previous days that any attempts at reconciliation and explanation with the community here has failed. I have tried my best. I really have. I pored my heart out trying. But it was all for nothing.
You win. There, I have said it.
Now there is only one thing left to do. Let us see if I can sum up the strength needed to end things once and for all.

Re: You are Lisa Simpson "Goddess" of the Nano People.
Straight foreward swap, you take Lisa's place shortly after the events of "The Genesis Tub". Thus you are now in the Simpsons universe and its related people and material.Purple wrote:Is this me being in her position or me acting what I would do in her place?

Re: You are Lisa Simpson "Goddess" of the Nano People.
Hmmm... I'm in the Simpsons universe?
Okay, that changes things a bit
I would attempt, instead of conquering the Simpsons World/Universe, which seems a little, wacky, to try to take my new followers back to this universe somehow, or at least enough data to recreate their technology.
Also, I've got to screw with Flander's mind. Just 'cause

Re: You are Lisa Simpson "Goddess" of the Nano People.
Can't remember what time period that episode is set in (insofar as it actually matters given that the Halloween Specials aren't canon), but I'm pretty sure that if they found a workaround for the Law of Conservation of Mass, they could build a radio transceiver array that could access the phone network and/or Internet. It would not be enormously difficult to set up a few shell corporations holding patents on a few of their more interesting technological innovations, and as long as they kept a strong knowledge economy going they could import all the raw materials they needed to sustain a population in the kind of numbers that give Art majors headaches. This would also solve the Bart problem at a stroke.
And I'd personally lay off Ned (who I'm sure is a really nice guy underneath the grating happy-clappy evangelism), concentrating instead on making Mr Burns pay dearly for the whole "Lil Lisa" debacle.

There are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do.
