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.

So he may have been here several days at the bare minimum? A dishevelled state like this would have been noticed on duty. Or he was off-world and arrived here without stopping at home for a well-deserved rest...
Well, this is a frustrating little situation. Thanagar and Alstair will be going...
Well, at least OL isn't going to have to go scorched earth on Andar Pul's ass yet. Good idea for him to check with her first before plowing in blind, given that whatever disabled her might affect him.
Dhorian Gongs in an Alstairian ship... That's noteworthy, but troublesome. I wonder if...
No doubt it's a trap of some fashion. If Andar isn't actively running, he'll be set up in a bolthole with plenty of prepared defences, quite likely tailored to resist even a Lantern's capabilities.Which means this arrest will be tricky.
Given that they seem to have been prepared for cloaked...
Oh, yes, he's still enjoying his little giggle at Krono's expense. At least it isn't getting in the way of diplomacy. Amusingly, the original meaning of 'Wizard' was simply 'Wise Man'. Whether that applies to Krono is up to the reader. 😏
I'm guessing said Brotherhood is in control of the...
Because unless they have something very potent against Spectrum technology, they are definitely outgunned. And Nth Metal is not going to be that strong an advantage.
There's going to be some very pointed questions for Pul indeed when he's found. And he will be found because OL wants that to...
Orbital weapons are rarely accurate enough to be anything less than 'Dear Grid Coordinates: Say Goodbye.' It's still scary to see just how indiscriminate they were even from a glancing hit.
Most likely the High Mor got their tail dragged into lockdown the second the platform went rogue, so...
Well, at least they know how to be stylish in their armour. Most power armour in Fallout tends towards the purely functional or 'walking tank' in aesthetics, and centuries of decay haven't helped.
Well, at least Sir Daniel had the refreshing experience of dealing with someone who didn't have...
Ah, still feeling a bit gun-shy about such simple constructs as giant hands, OL? Still, good work protecting the squishier members of your party. Losing either of them might well have upset you. And then Thanagar would have a very bad day.
It'll be interesting to find out just who ordered...
And if this is a regular exercise location, it isn't too suspicious if they're visiting it. Making it look like Bleez is showing them some of the sights while they wait...
I think OL navigated that little minefield of a discussion fairly well. It helps that it got cut short by something big...
Well, that's an unusual reaction to visitors. I'm guessing these folks are very wary of outsiders for sensible reasons. And while having working aircraft isn't unusual, the fact they saw him coming might be.
Well, the next few in-story days for Krono are going to be very interesting. I'm...
As I thought, she's quite distressed at the damage she inflicted. Even though it's only going to last as long as it took him to get his Rings back. And yes, this OL is quite fragile compared to some alternates. His power comes in other forms.
OL just sending all the wrongest signals, eh? It...
Ah, a look inside Jade's head? This will be interesting, especially given the byplay in the background. And tickling is a good plan, unless Thanagarians don't have the same response to it that humans do. Though it definitely sounds like they do.
I have the feeling Bleez surprised herself with...
Good gawd, I can hear the accent. At least Krono's stocks have risen to the point where he's not met with often thinly-veiled hostility from certain parties anymore. Indeed, many will be happy to see him as word of this conference spreads.
If Krono's plans play out, things are going to be...
For a second, I thought we'd stumbled into an 'In Praise of Eros' branch scene, but then I remembered the wrestling cages. I guess Bleez wants to spend a little time getting up close and personal with OL's Ring-forged beefcake while she has the chance.
This is all kinds of amusing at first...
I see OL and company are keeping busy. I presume they're here to dig for information about the Blades of Alstair taking a powder in Vega through local contacts, rather than a quick round down the pub after a long day.
Hoo-boy. Somehow, I just know whatever that was is related to OL's visit...
Back to Krono, I see. And meeting with... Costa De Sol's 'president'. It's been a while, but I can see this is about the governor's assembly and inviting the northern Mexican territories, I suspect?
I foresee this being Krono's focus for the next few in-story days. Approaching potential...
I mean, it must sound a little suspicious, I guess? Someone from a supposedly minor civilisation associated with the Orange Lantern Corps (because he's the Illustres) looking to import Thanagarian entertainment media? The Intelligence agencies must be foaming at the mouth with curiosity.
I...
Ah, the calm, literal-minded fellow. Now, how to explain it all? Both to Balm and to us the audience. Because this plotline is going to involve a lot of political chicanery and diplomatic tricks, I bet...
Well, hopefully Balm can avoid any social gaffes caused by cultural misunderstandings...
'Perch-like' as in being little more than sticks with cross-bars? I've seen portable seats like that, usually as a hiking stick/cane combo. I suppose they use them to give visitors a suitable impression of their importance...
A nice little moment of idle curiosity on OL's aprt as we transit...
Ah, a return to Krono-Paul and the world of Fallout: Old World Blues. And I see he's wasted little time doing his husbandly duties. Though the young lad seems oddly more aware than you'd expect of an infant... I guess it comes from Krono's psionic enhancements.
I see Krono hasn't been idle...
