Virus 2.0

     This element has been suggested once before, but I have ideas that might just make it useful.  I even came up with a different abbreviation.

     

    Strange matter (or STRG)

    Like VIRS, STRG is a liquid and "infects" other elements upon contact (even CONV and variants of CLNE.)  Unlike virus, it's incurable, not flamable, and lasts forever (It doesn't disappear with time like virus.)  STRG can be created when neutrons are exposed to maximum temperature, maximum pressure, and the highest amount of newtonian gravity at the same time.  STRG is immune to virus and in fact, it's STRG that "infects" virus.  The only things immune to STRG are:

     

    ·Walls (obviously)

    ·DMND

    .BHOL

    ·SING

    ·AMTR

    ·and energy particles (except neutrons)

     

    DRAY, SING, and AMTR are the only elements that can destroy STRG.  But STRG can also be destroyed by absorb wall and getting caught in e-wall when it deactivates.  STRG looks like EXOT when EXOT is heated to 5000C (green but flashes chartreuse.)  Like most liquids, pressure and/or negative pressure don't destroy it but can push or pull it.  Neutrons are the only energy particles that can be "infected" by STRG, but they can ONLY be "infected" by STRG if they're under the same conditions it takes make STRG (max temperature, max pressure, and max newtonian gravity.)  The best use for STRG is to challenge people to make tougher wall challenges, as STRG can't be cured (It would "infect" the SOAP) or burnt and the only 3 elements that CAN destroy it may also destroy the wall challenge.

     

    NOTE:  Tetracon may have originally suggested strange matter, but all these new features for strange matter are my ideas.  Strange matter should compensate for the fact that tpt doesn't have quarks (strange or otherwise) but challenging people to make tougher wall challenges--as well as giving neutrons a new use--might also be revolutioning for tpt.  I feel kind of excited by the possibilities.

     

    NOTE 2:  I used "VIRS" to refer to virus in it's liquid form and "virus" to refer to virus in all it's (solid, liquid and gas.)

    Virus does not "infect" in it's plasma form.

     

    EDIT:  Since they won't make BHOL immune to virus (for whatever reason,) I decided that it shouldn't be immune to STRG either.  After all, SING is essentially powdered VACU which is like BHOL, but whith negative pressure.  They should still make SING immune to virus; though, as SING is said to be immune to virus in the tpt wiki.

    What will this allow us to do? Seems interesting.

    First off:  It will give LOVE and LOLZ another use, because they would clone STRG just as they would VIRS (currently, cloning VIRS is LOVE and LOLZ's only real use.)  It's will also allow wall challenges to evolve (as mentioned above,) because we kinda fallen into a rut with those.  There is also the other uses mentioned above.  Whatever VIRS can do, STRG can do better.

    This will be awful for people like me that are into lower- tier bombs and walls that dont use "OP materials". I am not a fan of naturally forming sing, but this is just a whole new level of nonsense

    you dont really need to use it

     1:  What are "OP materials?"

    and 2:  If you're what you're saying is that you prefer making things like wall challenges with simple, non-stacked elements, you can always use the sign tool to say "no strange matter allowed."

    INFINITY-BOI:

    I think this is useless idea , TPT isn't made for adding elements what used in destruction and what not real

     SING, AMTR, BHOL, and ect. all exist solely for destructive purposes.  And if "what not real" means you doubt strange matter exists, it does exist.  We know, because strange quarks exist.  And STRG could be a "gateway element."  The existence of STRG would force wall challenges to be tougher and since nobody uses DMND in wall challenges (that's cheating,) the need to make tougher wall challenges would lead to ideas for new non-DMND elements that can protect the wall challenge from SING and AMTR while the SING or AMTR destroy incoming STRG.  This would; in turn, lead to NEWER ideas for elements that can counter those and so on and so forth.  This arms race would create a possibly endless series of new elements whose uses could go far beyond wall challenges.  An unimaginable future for tpt, and it all started with STRG.

     The BOMB and DEST elements: Am I a joke to you?

     You're right, I should've mentioned those too.  DEST is also an improved and more powerful version of BOMB.  Just as STRG is an improved and more powerful version of virus (solid, liquid or gas.)
