I think it would be nifty if I created a fictional world using facts given by users. It would be similar to a role-playing thread but instead of a story it would be a universe/planet with worldbuilding. I do a "lot" of writing and worldbuilding, so we could discuss a world and I would continually update it in a document.
The first, most important things are Mass, Radius, Gravity and Density. If we know two of them, I can use an equation to calculate the other two, so start off by recommending any two of those.
Also, when expressing units, don't say "radius is x kilometers", say "radius is x times the radius of Earth", that way it's much easier to calculate.
You're giving me a real headache with this, but I think I can do it. Just give me a minute.

Sorry, but with such a low mass the gravity the math here is too unstable. I need a bigger number, something in the range of 24-26 digits. I'll keep your density of 2.178x that of Earth, though.

C'mon guys, we just need radius, density or surface gravity!

Ugh, boring. I'll go with it though. Lemme do the math real quick.

The world has a loophole where things can become other things just based on the object's name in another language. Like a gift can become poisonous if the giver wishes it because gift means poison in German.

Circumference: 40,074 meters
Surface Area: 511.2 million square meters
Volume: 1,086,831,493 cubic kilometers.
Escape Velocity: Who cares! (this would take too much time to calculate)

There are 3 moons

Sounds cool, that'll be a feature. Guess that means it'll be fantasy.

It's very hard for a rocky planet to acquire three moons, let alone have it be stable. We need exactly one moon (zero would be bad for evolution).

There's only a few more things to calculate, so I'll need something real quick:
Is our star system singular or binary?

A binary star system but with a tertiary star that visits every 19 years.

Doesn't count, I'll extend it to 19 million years.
I could calculate a bunch of random math shit, but for now I think this is fine.

Okay, but astronomers are aware of the third star and warn of the coming of the Deathstar. No changing the name.

@previous (B)
but why would it cause death if it comes often?
1. It initiates disturbance in the star's Oort Cloud, causing a hail of meteors
2. The orbit got messed and it'll mess up the planets' orbits a lot this time
3. The incredible brightness causes mass droughts
You choose the apocalypse.

4. The coming of third star is actually harmless, but triggers all manner of apocalypse predictions and panic in the population leading to wars and the breakdown of society as people disagree about the third star's purpose and effects on their lives.

everything are kinds of sneezes, and each different type of sneeze despises the other types grouped by spittle distribution patterns
but the worst kind of sneeze is that kind of sneeze that's like almost a sneeze but doesn't quite make it

I want to fucking murder those sneezes.
