Does the size of timelines matter?

Pretty much the title.

In a novel I'm reading, there are worlds which are pretty much just big ass planets. But it was shown that each of these planets are separated in space and each have their own timeline.

Would the destruction of any said world (Assuming it was stated that time and space also got destroyed) fit the bill for tier 2?
 
im pretty sure that regardless the size if its 4D its 4D, unless its infinitesimal in one of the dimensions but that would just make it 3D
it only quantitatively change

Technically speaking, no, the size shouldn't matter, but here, we need the space to be at least universal.

Any reason why? Isn't the whole reason why tier 2 is, well, tier 2 is because of the whole "Timelines contain infinite snapshots of 3d shit"?

In that case, would it even matter the size of the space if both large and small spaces are the same thing when it comes to the snapshots?

Yeah, the whole point is that, a timeline, technically speaking, would be Low 2-C no matter what it encompasses since the elements of the set aren't important for the cardinality of said set.

In that case, would it even matter the size of the space if both large and small spaces are the same thing when it comes to the snapshots?
Yes, technically speaking, you could have a timeline of a single grain of sand that it would be equal to a timeline with a universe inside.
 
Yes. The volume needs to be as big as the Universe itself, and if involving tier 1 qualifications, the extra dimensions cannot be compactified or curled up to an insignificant degree. Beyond that, I don't recall.
 
I will say it not matter, consider if you destroy entirety of time you already destroy uncountable infinite set of 3D, so i dont think it is insignificant structure that cannot be tiered
 
I'm confused now. Some say it matters, some say it doesn't. Does the wiki need the space to be universal in order for it to qualify as Low 2-C, even if it was shown that the world was its own and had its own timestream?

On the wiki, you need the space to be at least universal. That mean that if you have a planet with its own space-time, it wouldn't be Low 2-C.

Outside the wiki and as a general rule, if a place has a spacetime, regardless of the size of said space, it would be equal to what we call "Low 2-C".

Weird, absurd, and illogical standard of wiki

I'd say it's to avoid giving a very high rating to otherwise low-level verse. I know of a lot of characters that could destroy small pocket space with their own timeline, which would result in a low 2-C rating being given to characters that otherwise wouldn't scale that high.

I'd say that's still very much arbitrary especially when something could easily just be an outlier. Concerns over "very high ratings" are basically a non-issue.

It is an issue. Most of the profiles I can think of are straight up fanfiction. Heck, even some verse I'm knowledgeable about are still off-reality by some margins.

Though, your point about outlier still stands. It's an enigma as to why it's not proposed more often when a character has a somewhat consistent powerlevel but only one "really high feat" and suddenly the high feat becomes the norm.
 
I think Ultima said they'll take care of this when they can.

Yeah anything that strays too far from the verse's scaling can just be considered an outlier.

But sonic being a six dimensional being because pararel lines, and Kratos being above mutli continental based on statements (that even the writters think are wanked to oblivion) is okay?

No, not really. Hence why if given the choice, I would prefer keeping some form of author intent when doing profiles.

Can you see stars from that planet? Just to prove that there is something else other than just one planet. In this way you should get at least a "possible low 2C". Mind that if you can prove the presence of other celestial bodies staff tends to bend the rule of "at least as big as the observable universe"
