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.
And, sadly, he'd still be seen as a threat by many claimants even if he abdicated.
Well... that's not a high bar :)
Yeah. Although much of the realm would be gone as well.
Chapter 32: Fear
‘While it is a popular convention amongst the uneducated, and even amongst some scholars too enamoured with convenient portents and omens, to mark the day the dragons returned as the start of the rise of magic, magic had never completely left the world. That the first dragons...

Alien Space Station, PT-9013-System, October 9th, 2000 (Earth Time)
If there was one good thing about sneaking through an alien space station full of magic runes that might give you magic cancer, it was that not just the corridors leading to the main...
Indeed.
Yes.
Correct.
Version from Tyrion: He blew up from his own stupidity.
Just moishandöing it can cause an explosion, as Ruby demonstrated when she met Weiss for the first time.
This is Westeros, better burn those bodies.
Never himself, though.
Chapter 31: Interludes II
‘Students often have romantic notions of how succession worked in the time of absolute monarchs. Some even now tout the idea of hereditary positions as being more stable and predictable than the current system, often citing a few cherry-picked examples from recent...

“Now, doesn’t this feel familiar?” Jack O’Neill grinned at the people in the shuttle. “We’re about to embark on a dangerous mission against a snake to gather information about an unknown...
Yep. Of course, arrows show by a Huntress are something else.
Yeah. Not that that will make Tywin change.
Well, given how volatile Dust is - sneezing can set it off, as Ruby demonstrated on her arrival at Beacon - we might never know if it was a failed ritual or a simple accident.
Well...
Varys: That's exactly their plan! You see it! I see it! Why don't others see it?

Yeah. And...
Chapter 30: Twists
'One thing that is often overlooked when studying the martial achievements of the Ruby Order is their influence on facing and fighting magic threats. The Four Maidens were amongst the first who trained specifically to face magic users in combat and did so at the very...

Alliance Headquarters, Brussels, Belgium, September 30th, 2000
"...despite the latest polls showing a continuing loss of support for anti-magic regulation, the campaign has not shifted its policies so far, a stance not mirrored by the majority of the...
There's no fundamental difference between magic and guns in the story. None. Zilch. Both can be used for good, for recreation (I've got my old service rifle, a StGW-90, but with the burst fire and autofire disabled when I was discharged from the Swiss Army after serving my time as well as a...
