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.

[X] Gift her tools.
[X] Gift her freedom.
[X] Gift her influence.
I am sceptical of all of these options (and could possibly be convinced to switch to Influence if there's a sufficiently viable plan built around it), but Tools seems like it will be relatively limited in consequences (as the...
Right so two months before they even start being the slightest bit useful.
Well given how the doom clocks going even if we get Moth 6 which will be harder with the appropriate penalty that's not much time of them being useful.
Nah, the pony SCP foundation is Eclipse. They're the research division after all, the Bureau is just cheating by having a Loremaster at its head.
But yes, also still a conflict of interest if we're unwilling to intercede w/ the Wolf cult because of Soft if they start getting up to Wolfish...
One to two months is literally faster than the Bureau will be online even spending all our Commissioner actions doubling the rate we get online. And frankly Outer Circles are important. They provide the ability to do more actions.
I think a better question would be "if we don't take over Soft's Cult directly, can we somewhat control it indirectly?" Through asking Softy to do something, maybe spending a personal AP on it - not every turn as we'd need if we went for the Freedom option, but the result won't be as reliable as...
Seems like there alredy is a conflict of interests because Soft is the "leader" of a cult with her mother being the unofficial boss of the pony SCP Foundation.
Things like that would be met with the roadbump named Soft i believe.
Actually, maybe a relevant question, @OurLadyOfWires. If we don't take over Soft's cult, are we actually able to work against them if they start going around, say, murdering mayors in the town we live in as a totally hypothetical situation? Or beforehand, if we decide that actually we just...
Expected and still faster than the Bureau.
Again, expected. Nothing that makes me want to drop Freedom.
A Cult is just so interesting. And I still think we could fix them, if not then make a trap to get rid of them.
I wasn't really pinged, but given the discussion surrounding "Freedom" in particular, I can give Velvet's perspective on it. And since this would be the most "hoofs on" option, I can also elaborate on what Velvet would expect herself to (have to) do following it.
So first things first.
Velvet...
And it's not like they'd be running off of an entirely separate library... we need to level up the Bureau's Lores anyway, so any study or manuscript actions that we would hypothetically do "because cult Lore levels" are probably going to happen (or not happen) regardless of if we pick up Soft's...
