  • 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.

Also, as The Froggy Ninja mentioned above; Lantern Son of Great Mother is a thing, and his entire shtick is that he wants someone to assign him mindless repetitive tasks for the rest of forever, which is fundamentally a desire for obedience

Don't forget that slave Paul met in Vega.

She just wanted to follow someone and be obedient to them.

Thank you, corrected.

Huh. I wonder why the other nations never moved to stop them.

I don't think I can answer this without [Modern Politics], but whatever country you just thought of, it's probably the same reason.

Not sure this quite lines up with the last time it was discussed:

Could be explained by the priesthood of the planet explicitly not teaching their women what the actual laws and rights were?

I'll change it. They don't have legal divorce, but they do have de facto divorce.

Jade's roommate on Maltus was from the planet with the eye god.

Though she was from a country that didn't worship the eye god.

She told Paul that the other governments on the planet wanted to stop the eye gouging, but the number of lives that would be lost in the war that would be required to make it happen were just too great for them to actually do it.
 
…I thought the whole planet worshipped the Eye-god? Dox didn't say "you've started a war no one else wanted," he said that there would be planet-wide unrest because the whole place depended on the Eye-Gouging God Religion for social order - it was woven into everyday life, like Christianity and Islam are for much of Earth. What is this about other nations and war? Does Taranna mean that other nations have aids for blind men, or that some sections of the planet allowed their blinded woman aids, meaning that she's from an extremely repressive part of an already extremely repressive planet? What's going on, here?
