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.
The 'common' way of doing so is most likely to be something along the lines of the following:
Find the picture you wish to keep, of the desired size if you can manage that (otherwise editing and saving a shrunk version might be needed) and then right click on it. For this walkthrough, the...
Don't worry everyone! You're only going to have to write a new set of rules for the rulebook after this.
... It shouldn't be surprising to you all, there are how many Trickster Deities amongst you? And you know Hel is Loki's daughter!
Definitely not smuggling, because Bolt's family and the others who are going to be placed in a position of sufficient authority as to 'allow' smuggling (rather than it being an underground group from one of the three nations that Bolt's family and the others will also be trying to hunt down) are...
Yeah, there's going to be some seriously traumatised pilots coming out of this... And a lot of attention. Not to mention quite a few mech piloting academies or military training centres grabbing the combat data and ordering their trainees to read. Not necessarily to become good at the lessons...
Absolutely shaping her breakthrough into Expert, because that's what she's decided this entire event is going to be I'm pretty sure. And the last line of the chapter is showing that it's begun to happen.
In the moment, probably salt yeah. But after inspecting the (public) blueprints for the mech? I think it's going to flip (for the sensible ones at least) over to merely being grumpy and respect to Bolt's team. Because they'll probably be able to spot some of the 'hidden flaws' that a First...
Being fair to Halomanity, the whole 'why do you have MACs when you could have energy weapons' is...
I can easily see the Tau'ri having some biases that just cause them to underestimate how hard something is. Such as the lack of naquadah or the various other 'super-elements' that are present in...
Iron Spirit?
Yeah... It's not like they started the meeting lamenting their fate as 'merely' functional designers. And now you are not only tying their names to a revamped versions of the core designs for the current fad going around, but actually getting their names tied to a modern actually...
Part of it's the fact that this sort of thing isn't keeping the highest level of scrutiny (otherwise the organiser's own cheating would be obvious), part of it would be that element of Cultivator culture where not doing your best is offensive to the 'Cultivator' (or Mech Pilot here) themselves...
Yeah, I definitely feel like Bolt and Lilly have picked up some long term companions, at the very least friends, here. Good job writing it up in a way that truly sells it.
I'm also amused st the whole 'wait, the armour is already fixed and it didn't even need all the equipment to do it?'. I...
Yeah... It really is.
On another topic, you know I'm left wondering if one of the ways they sabotage teams other than the Star Student is by messing around with part quality during the build phase. Nothing too overt, but something where most teams end up with some critical or just...
