The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
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.
But in the long run my idea is that New Wave starts becoming stronger and more of a symbol and starts getting a bigger target on them, they try to find ways to better protect themselves. Whether that be recruiting more members, finding ways to make more money, or building political connections with local leaders, basically they slowly evolve into a gang. But I want it to be slow and subtle.
Well, I think a big part about it is that they don't have any goals. Its purely selfish desire to be safe and to not have to hide their romance with each other. They want to be able to kiss in public and have a ton of incest babies and not have to worry about them getting shot at or thrown in jail. Fundamentally they want ultimate freedom and that means ultimate control.
Which kind of ties in with the end game of Cauldron. Ignoring how stupidly useful Amy's power could be to the Case 53 projects, Alex's powers are not only incredibly powerful with the potential to get even more powerful but it makes him the perfect Parahuman warlord since his power quite literally allows him to keep the Parahuman's under his control from fighting each other.
Funny enough, he's not the hedonist of harem. He just wants to be with his family and he's only been attracted to his family. it's Amy and even the rest of the girls that want more.
I kind of like the idea that he's the straight man and the one trying to slow down all the degeneracy despite also secretly enjoying it just as much as his family, kind of ties in with how everyone's keeping their desires hidden.
