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.
I spent the weekend with my wife, relaxing and enjoying our time together. It was wonderful to take a break, especially after two weeks of going so hard. Nothing puts a nice vacation into perspective like weeks of exhausting busywork. My demons seemed pretty relieved as well, and it was a...
The next two weeks passed in a blur of activity. So much activity. Like…more activity than I had ever experienced before. Micromanaging fifty or so demons (only the ones strong enough to be useful need apply) for fourteen days was a feat of organization not even Piece of Mind could make easy. I...
We sat down to eat together first thing. Apparently, everyone was hungry above everything else, and I couldn’t fault them. Common City had some amazing smelling food stalls and restaurants, and well wanted a taste. Inevitably, we decided to pool our funds to pay for a big banquet. I dropped...
We finished the job in the next few hours, as expected. On top of the twenty credits for the original task, we’d earned an extra hundred once we turned in the bounty. In one afternoon I had gone from out of credits to twenty percent richer than I had been when I first started, and it made it...
The water treatment plant wasn’t too far away, and the courier ran me over there pretty quickly. Once I arrived he filled me in on exactly what I needed to do, and once that was done, he turned and immediately left, abandoning me to face the large, grim looking building that housed the water...
When I returned to the real world, it took me a minute to process what was happening. Despite not having any special modifiers on my stats now, the sensations of being changed by the template were VERY noticeable.
I felt…heavy. Not in a restrictive way, but in a useful way. There was a sort of...
I spent the rest of the day considering my options and making preparations, eventually settling on my next course of action about the time I headed to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, after stockpiling my scrolls, I was ready for step one of my master plan. Which was…finish condensing my...
The bookmark caught fire a few hours later. It happened out of nowhere, but it floated up into the air before lighting up, so I supposed they had at least thought it through. After that it blew away, though not fast enough to actually escape, and I followed behind it casually, being led down one...
The next morning I went through my usual ritual. Wake up, make scrolls, make breakfast, check in with Callie. Once I was done with that I was surprised to hear a knock at my door, and opened it to find Sorwen waiting with a bright smile and a cup of…”Is that coffee?” I asked with interest as I...
Callie, naturally, had way more information about the academy than I did (though the Mythcrafting stuff WAS new to her, fortunately, so I contributed something). She’d made friends immediately, with more than just one person, and her first order of business had been to figure out what all twelve...
My mind was whirling with all the new information as I let myself into my residence. Without much preamble, I flopped into my bed and descended into Gehenna to consult with my court. I might not be able to work through all the angles all at once, but I wasn’t alone. This information concerned...
Sorwen and I were not staying close together, so we decided to stop at a local park to have our conversation after getting our room assignments. I was almost vibrating with the need to ask question, but I knew that seeming too eager was likely to backfire. Sorwen didn’t know me, and if she...
