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.

People act against this kind of logical incentive all the time IRL. Tons of laws about not murdering people and how you're gonna be in big trouble if you do, and yet people still murder. Likewise with rape. People don't do crimes because they're stupid (well, sometimes they do) they do them...
Narratively there's just about a 0% chance she actually turns it down. Otherwise there's little point in bringing Mischiefs up in the story—eventually Rei will take the offer. This is also part of her Rat training. Even if the next chapter starts with no, there's no way she's a proper Rat...
Eddard's a little quick to assume magic, ain't he. There are plenty of mundane ways to plot an outcome like this.
always with the death flags, tut tut
Well, anyway. Varys' message is a little goofy and deserves quite some thinking and rethinking on Eddard's part. First is that if magic is...
[X] Head towards Jai.

I would be fine with literally everything other than yet another lesbian to add to the pile.
I object to this history of textiles. Bad homespun is really awful stuff, true, but skilled workers produce much better, to the point that only recently did machine-worked stuff match up.
I think that certainly works for showing the practical parts of introducing new technology. It's also nice to go from smoke to smoke in the openings to the new chapters one and two—if possible I might try to find a way to use the same motif to open the prologue. Minor foreshadowing as the messes...
The disconnect for me has happened already, since all that we know of the introduced so far in-story is a listing ("my glassworks, my theatre" etc.) and a general reference to the history OTL. Approach-wise, the first impression of the first three sections has already been blown. Being told 'I...
I always have a bit of trouble believing the personal reproduction of stuff like gunpowder, or in this case 19th century optics and steel.
Though wootz is simple enough for me to believe that an SI could get some made and tempered/hardened/whatever and ready for use eventually, I'm less sold...
[X] "Everything I did was in the pursuit of disengaging from the conflict. The conflict in which I never threw a single punch."
I despise the 'nice' add-on. The character would never admit doing anything wrong at all. That was the point, the very thing that made Hinata angry in the first place.
