The issue with logging in with email addresses has been resolved.
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.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Resisting the Combine QQ edition
A Half Life 2 quest
Can you survive and defeat the Combine?
It's been 15 years since the 7 hour war, the Combine moved everyone into tightly regulated cities and established a police state, as the years went on the population slowly dropped and the people were slowly consolidated into a ever decreasing number of cities. During the decommissioning of one of the last three cities in North America a group of survivors escaped. One of the group claims to have seen a Red-haired woman in a business suit stand on a nearby ridge watching them, her posture suggesting satisfaction.

Shortly after the escape the group runs into you:
Who are you?
[X] A Fighter from a fallen Resistance group. you avenged your comrades by killing the traitor who sold you out. You lead them to a cave you have made camp in.
[X] A scientists who also escaped the transfer. You find a house hidden in the woods soon after two or three days of running.
[X] A woman in an orange jumpsuit and wearing the strangest boots. you take them to a shelter in the mountains.
Note: I've hit writer's block with Lonely outpost so I'm dusting this idea off. I've been wanting to take another crack at this idea for a while.
i've also simplified the system greatly from my first try.
