Huge CR Breach

I have a character in Klojt which was working on a potato project and then -
796-5: Project Harvesting potatoes has been finished (***** grams, ending up on the ground).
And there is -
18446744073709551615 grams of potatoes
On the floor.
Something not right.. i have a feeling it was the woman that killed everyone there.
*EDIT* The stars in bold are covering what was really there to prevent this happening else where i will e-mail or PM what it really said to staff if need be.

It's not a CR break, the potato harvester was sabotaged by the woman who killed everyone (I think it was something like a one million gram project that was started), it's just an error of some sort.

I left 184,467 grams.
I'm assuming some was moved already.
If you worked a long time on it or that original was more just PM it to me along with the character who saw it complete.

Nice, I was curious what the haul might end up being out of that project - my char got sick of waiting around there though and left before the project was finished.
What was the total output in the end?

The mass was reported was roughly equivelant to 500,000,000 galaxies of equivelant size of the visible part of our galaxy.
That is roughly four times the amount of galaxies visible for earth.
The mass that fell to the ground was roughly equivelant to the moon of Phobos of the plant Mars.
How Cantr still exists is still being looked into.
Kjolt may have some lingering effects.
How the characters lived though it is anyones guess.
I am assuming that the amount of potatoes I left was roughly equivelant to the work put in give or take a solar mass or two?

Well, think of it this way. People in Klojt won't be hungry for couple thousand years.

The people were moving them all, and then stopped and said:
'Where'd they all go'
And some one replied:
'The tide of the sea must have taken them'
Quite funny in RP perspective.
796-5: Project Harvesting potatoes has been finished (***** grams, ending up on the ground).
Ok, it was not a certain amount of
grams, it was something like a formula, i thought it was rather weird:
796-5: Project Harvesting potatoes has been finished (
1E+54 grams, ending up on the ground).
Is what it actually said when the project completed.

i think from memory that means 10 to the power of 53 or 54. so 1 with 53 or 54 zero's after it

or a dayum lot of spuds

Yep... It's how certain (older) calculators notify ^45. I wanted to post that but the page wouldn't load, so you beat me to it, Spectrus.
Anyway... That's a lot of potatoes. Can't we build a house of patatoes?

a new weapon should be made, the potatoe canon.
and wow setting harvesters on a ridiculous number and leaving them? it's automated? gee if people did that all over... hahahaha what kind of sick freak would do such a thing *smirk*

Yea 1E54 grams or 1E51 kilograms, four time more massive than the visible parts of all galaxys visible from here.

there's that story where a man gets one wish from the emperor (i don't remember why) and he asks for a single grain of rice on the first square of a chess board and then double that on the next and double the previous on the next, up to the last square. the emperor finds there is not enough rice in the world.
well, the number of grams of potatoes that fell, 18446744073709551615 or 2^64 - 1, is exactly the number of grains of rice there would be on that chess board. odd.
