1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    It's based off of a theory crafted by cultures lacking self-confidence, such as modern mainland China, that says that interstellar civilizations that discover other interstellar civilizations will destroy each other in pursuit of self-preservation and self-growth. It's not necessarily inaccurate.

    Technically, modern theories revolve around just three basic stages; first dark forest, then grabby aliens, and then transcendent. Where the first is still for scarcity civilizations, the second is at the stage of capability for expanding at a significant portion of the speed of light, and then the third being beyond this universe's limitations.

    And the prevalent theory is that we're already in the sphere of a grabby alien but we're too primitive to matter, which is why no other aliens can be detected, if they exist at all.

    But anyway, how this applies to isekai would be that isekai transmigrators at the early stage, mid stage, and late stage behave in different ways when encountering same kind entities.
