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.

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.

Corn is tall soy is short so thing can hide in cornfield but not soy or shortstalk wheat. And flat out you run into weird stuff away from populated areas.
shouldn't be too hard to make a few small changes. I mean look at the difference between an F-16a from the early 80s and a modern F-16L with conformal tanks and all. Given how readily and quickly Star Wars appears to create modified variants of star fighters it shouldn't be too difficult to...
From the EU, there was a fighter that the Imperial Remnants began using after Endor called the I-9 howlrunner. It was a small flattened modified delta with a bubble cannopy and two laser cannons. It had a hyperdrive and a shield but was still comparatively small and cheap. Something like that...
You probably don't even need to do a lot of those things to reduce operating costs. Remember that it has both a primary and backup hyperdrive, if it's being used as a semi-mobile base you can shut down and put into long-term storage state the primary hyperdrive and use the much slower but much...
yes, however they're also extremely massive with enormous storage capacity. You can turn it into a huge cargo transshipment station at a fraction of the cost of operating it as a freighter and put quite a few of its systems into long-term storage. May take several weeks to get those systems...
He found a wrecked Acclamator and two wrecked Munificents far as I saw. The Acclamator is most likely going to become a government run armed freighter to make money for the planet. After all they had plenty of cargo space and once you remove all the LAAT and ATTE storage that's even more...
you combat Warships in BT with massed nukes. That's one of the main reasons there are no functional Warships in the sphere at this time. The first two SW saw them all go down one after another once the anti-ship nukes got broken out en masse. With the few survivors unable to be maintained...
Honestly my only issue with nearly any RWBY fanfiction is anybody who knows Ozma's method of operation doesn't immediately kill him to force a reincarnation. The man is much like Dumbledore a far greater threat to his allies than his enemies. And his words should never be heeded because they...
My Great Grandfather served in WW1. Before he shipped off to France while he was still in Britain he bought a new pocket watch with his pay. he scratched and penned the names of cities, towns and battles on that watch as he survived the war. There toward the end the watch was broken but he...
Not created by me, I remember my father telling me this as a young boy. "Never be afraid of monsters. Why do you think it's hiding in the closet, under your bed, in the dark forest. It's afraid of US. People are the most terrible monsters of all. Remember boy when you get scared, you're the...
Remember the context of the original idea was that you have an apocalyptic collapse on your hand as a modern world is smushed together with several fantasy worlds. So while ideas about what new guns might be created for the newfound tiny people market is interesting it doesn't really fit the...
Overall some very good analysis of the issue. And yes people are seriously undervaluing the .22lr but they always do. I think you'd see lots of cut down skeletonized .22lr, and .22WM in use by small races in such a circumstance. 5.7x28 is simply not popular and widespread enough to last in...
Yeah I'm mostly coming up blank with personal firearms something their size can use. I can absolutely see Kobolds going full WW1 and running around with crew-served weapons. They're already pretty much full-on communists by the lore with communal hatcheries and creches, and very little in the...
Ran across some notes I made a while back for a plot bunny about an apocalypse where a modern earth suffers a dimensional merge with a couple of other D&D style fantasy Earths. Resulting in a mixed up world that's a strange patchwork of modern and fantasy. And I found myself wondering about...
There's a lot of good MHA fiction around right now. This one is promising just for not slavishly following canon, but it's also well written and draws the reader in. Even the characterization is a nice mix of Izuku and Peter, blurring some of the worse personality traits of both. Still I've...
It's never boring to see a schemer get wrecked by somebody bypassing the schemes and just applying overwhelming force. That's in fact the way you deal with scheming, those who scheme always count on others playing by the same rules. And the proper answer is to metaphorically flip the table and...
It is generally known to work. Well it's likely one of these people on the list of enemies. Well they're enemies, so we kill all of them and most likely we kill the one we were after, plus dead enemies don't usually come back to trouble you again.
On the other hand his extended (and close) family had a long history of poisoning each other (normally successfully) so doing his best to be resistant to most of the common poisons of his culture was not a stupid idea. Risky yes but not stupid, see all the successfully poisoned members of his...
