Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
We really have no idea what Timaron's legal system looks like, or if it has precedent covering claims of mind control, intelligence suppression, desire manipulation, and so on. "I was mind controlled" being a viable defense at trial causes all sorts of issues, and should hopefully require some...
Eh, Zod already expressed the belief that it will be a show trial. In that case, may as well try to escape, as the goal of the trial isn't to determine guilt or innocence.
Did the Joker venom vine things happen in WtR? Because that might count. Bunch of different cities, though maybe not quite uniform enough of a spread to be considered "apocalyptic."
And of course there was the Sheeda.
That one's easy: his local assets may be compromised. Just look at what's happened to The Question. OL can be reasonably certain the Darkstars team is not compromised (yet, at least), and he can even lean into the assumption that has already been made: he requested they be deployed to Earth...
With the Spider Guild, a non-military solution may be feasible. Perhaps lean on the history of Paul's homeland, and try a political marriage to secure an alliance? That would provide a direct "in" for potential reform efforts. I'm sure Jade would understand how important that was to improving...
No, that wouldn't stop him. OL would definitely just have his ring project sounds instead. Probably vibrating the air directly instead of generating construct speakers or something.
On this, I'm in complete agreement, Vae. I've spoken with vacuum cleaner repair people who have had very unkind things to say about Dyson. We had a Dyson for a while, but have since upgraded to a bagged Miele, and it's not even comparable. The bags aren't particularly cheap, but otherwise every...
You know, Ollie has a point. This might be fine from OL's warped sense of priorities, but that's got to be very hard on Jade. They should break up. Then Jade can find someone interested in a relationship where they see each other more than semi-annually, and OL can find someone more on his...
Both paragon and renegade took some big chances that, through luck or determination or simple lack of conventional morality, happened to work out for them. The avoidance of those key gambles are what will hinder the Common Sense timeline's OL in the long run.
