Totally, but I doubt it Marshall Send a noteboard - 24/09/2009 09:34:56 AM
RJ seems like he's pretty set on using gateways for one purpose: Traveling. I find it vastly unlikely that, of the hundreds (even thousands possibly, including the Ashaman) who know the weave, none would have thought of using Gateways for other purposes.

We've had a lot of fun on wotmania coming up with fun uses for Gateways--ways they can create seemingly physical paradoxes, get around some of the laws of physics, etc.

The potential power of a gateway exceeds anything we've come across. Amongst these are:
  1. Limitless travel to anywhere (the usual)
  2. Perpetual motion machines = infinite source of energy
  3. Unlimited scouting ability from any viewpoint.
  4. Possible time travel, using gateways in the sense that people envision wormholes to enable time travel
There are many others, of course, and they're fun to dream up, but I can't see them being used in any other way in the series. It would open too many doors.

We've already seen them altered as deathgates. - 24/09/2009 07:11:28 PM 560 Views

But you don't mind slicing up a few birds??? How rude. *NM* - 24/09/2009 10:02:16 PM 238 Views
Alright then, open a gateway 80 paces up to check for birds, followed by the 40 pace gateway, - 24/09/2009 10:34:47 PM 543 Views
