    XF2 testbed now available

    There's not much to say that wasn't said already, but it's Questionable that site named Questing don't have in-built Vote Tally. And I suspect using NetTally on mobile would be painful at best, impossible at worst (have anyone tried?).

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    Therefore, if it not in text that villains pay their taxes, then they don't. If it not in text that Kurt used backdoors or anything - then he didn't. Therefore, I don't think we have anything to talk about at this point, when you simultaneously says "only canon text matters", and "I don't care...

    To be honest, that true to anything in Worm. :D

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    Sorry for late reply. That not access issue - I'm myself gave two options how he could do it without owner's consent. No, problem here is plain, boring physic laws. Kurt here, in thirty second, set up twenty operations. Ten transfers for different accounts, and ten delayed returns. 1.5 second...

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    Yeah, I got it. I just remember lore better than system, at least about Infernals, at this point. So, I remembered they are twisted Solars, but didn't remember how exactly their Charms looks and works.

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    Physically possible? Shards often play fast and loose with it. Even when power in question, at first glance, wouldn't look like it breaking these 'rules' in any way. For example, do I need to quote what he did with european Nazis? That shouldn't be possible in timeframe of thirty seconds. Just...

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    No? They are Solars. Whose Exaltations were captured by agents of Neverborn when Jade Prison been broken. 100 went to Underworld to be transformed/corrupted into Abyssals, while another 50 were given to Yozis for their assistance. That's why I thought Infernal Charms are, like Abyssals, are...

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    *digging books* Indeed. My apologies. There no small amount of resemblances, but not nearly as much, and not nearly as big, as I thought. My words mostly apply to Abyssals. I haven't played for several years, and rarely encountered Infernals, let alone studied them, when I did.

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    We're talking about AU that explictly contradicts canon, not something that supplement it and fills the blank spots, then. Don't think "one man", think "immensely sophisticated AI with processing power magnitudes higher than everything our civilization have combined". Shards may give rather...

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    Just as I said. With Mumber Man's help they can be sure no one (but them) will find how much they actually have, so long as they don't spend too much in their civilian IDs. And so long as they "don't have" a lot of money in their civilian ID, IRS almost certainly wouldn't give them troubles...

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    In our world? Yes. But Earth Bet is much worse economically, so there much more people who does some odd jobs to keep afloat, without any regular income. Even in better places than BB. So, it much harder to notice them, unless they'd start to throw a lot of money around. They funding? They...

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    Not necessarily. Maybe they used it to transform largely peaceful group into both larger, and much more active and prone to fighting. Toybox are black market organization, they aren't operate within the law, just like Elite. And they are, supposedly, even harder to pin down than Elite cells...

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    First: "Uppermost’s core group took a different course, with the support of outside investors.[23] They divided themselves, and set up their own businesses within the new laws, while keeping in contact outside the PRT’s and public’s knowledge" from Elite page I quoted earlier. That mean they had...

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    I know, but we have work with what we have, unless someone will go and poke Wildbow for clarifications. So, from "Elite" page: We can see that they fought it before it passed, and then either adapted, or keeled. But "NEPEA-5 was passed, and Uppermost disbanded" suggest they disbanded directly...

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    Very, very arguably. We don't have much info about that bill (Wildbow smart enough to not give fans text they could tear apart and prove it can't work). But. We know one thing for certain: "Many members of Uppermost found their way to the Protectorate and Wards as a way of avoiding bankruptcy...

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    Actually, given the situation Piggot was in? When she received relatively average branch, and then allowed it to become what we see in canon? Well, I'm not willing to engage with that particular topic, I'm not hate her enough to spend hours of my life compiling "Piggot's fuckups compendum" or...

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    I have to disagree. Teenagers are teenagers, yes, but I doubt average PRT branch have such hand off approach to it. Basically, if we take PRT ENE as average PRT branch level of competence, this organisation wouldn't exist. :) He have to make it interesting for other members. And killing some...

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    Use it as bait and distraction? If so, that does make some sense. That's true, though while BB is example we most familiar with, it clearly can't be used to represent average level of PRT branch. Well, Jack love making big news, when it doesn't involve much risk, so slaightering bunch of...

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    Uuhhh, I don't sure they would do that, actually. One reason is protecting identities. Just things that necessary for their "job" already give people clues (like only half day at school), no matter how PRT tries to disguise it. And then there's teenagers being teenagers. And social ties they...

    Redemption Quest (Exalted/Worm) (Elements of Peggy Sue).

    My condolences, then. :) That's likely, yes. As far as I know, "NSFW" refers specifically for erotic/pornographic content, unlike ratings like "Mature / Explict" or "R / NC-17" which may refer to violence, alcohol/drug use, and other non-sexual activities that not suitable for childrens. I...
