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'm pretty sure beating and capturing someone would provide experience as well, but regardless, between most (all?) people not providing significant experience, the way you can get points from leveling skills and creating spells(even ineffective ones), and the fact that Thinker powers aren't...
I'm still in the first volume of the original setting (Thanks for the rec @Aetheron )but I'm pretty sure they aren't self mobil. more like a toxin you need to expel from your body, and if it doesn't it will get into your organs and drive you nuts.
As far as I can tell both spellings are acceptable.
The fact he's so good just makes it worse because Tanya is not a duelist, she'd a soldier and killer. Against her fellow students Tanya's caution is probably excessive, but why take unneeded risks, but Filtwick is certainly good enough to push her to the point she reacts without thinking, and...
That's certainly a possible reaction, but so is the reverse.
True, but to counter that, there's no reason to go to the effort for some random jerk, for someone you have a long term relationship with? There are many cases of people forgiving some pretty serious betrayals. You might not, but some...
Leaving aside the fact different people react differently, the fact Taylor and Emma had a deep and long history before the bullying would change the equation considerably. It's not a question of forgiving the bully, but seeing if Emma recovered from the insanity of High school and was again...
The first part is true, but the question isn't how people handle trauma, but what the Shards are looking for. It could be they are looking for a specific kind of trauma or a specific reaction to it, it could be each shard is different, or it could be something else.
No, it doesn't becasue we don't know when QA started observing her, and even if we knew definitely that QA had been observing Danny before hand and stopped observing him when it started observing Taylor, we still wouldn't know when that happened. It could have happened when Taylor was 6 y/o, or...
Yes, canon does strongly suggest that QA was with Danny before it shifted to Taylor. That has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
Yes, it could have, it didn't. Why didn't it? We don't know, there are several possible explanations, yours among them, but they're all fanon explanations...
No, I don't think that's right. It could be true, but there's nothing definite about it in canon, and we know that Triggers need to be a particular type of trauma, not just a "bad day".
My pet theory is that Triggers require desperation, Emma and (even with his issues) her father ensured Taylor...
Keep in mind Taylor did not consider the day she Triggered the "worst day in her life" at the start of canon (i.e before she did anything as a parahuman). She did think it might have been the second worst day.
That extreme? No, probably not, although as noted in some stories it is common knowledge.
However I find it extremely unlikely people aren't aware the PRT sometimes screws people over through no fault of the victims - they might be assuming it's due to bureaucratic rules, or mistakes, or one...
That depends on what their view of the government in general and the PRT in particular is. It could be anywhere from "evil mass-murderer" to "some poor bastard being screwed over by the PRT". While the extremes are not very likely, we don't know how much the culture leans one way or the other...
That is an interesting claim, what do you base it on? canon does not have any "peaceful villains" that we could see how people react to them, although Toybox and parts of the Elite come close (and the way they're treated does not support people disbelieving their claims because they're...
Very nice Omake, will the next scene be Weld arguing about this with someone from Image? Because while his decision seems quite reasonable and practical, if there's any confrontation with Taylor it will look really bad for the protectorate...
He doesn't expect that(and even said that he blames...
