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.
No.
The only time we see a reaction which goes beyond being reminded of a very upsetting and stressful time is when she's an infant (and even those I'm not sure they go past healthy stress response), so even if the story engineered a race being actually stressful for some reason (which as noted...
Maybe, but...
Not because of this. Shirogane taking this seriously would be completely ridiculous and unrealistic.
Most of the characters are teenagers/pre-teens with all the seriousness/angest over incredibly minor things that means, for the rest they're professional athletes/trainers so...
That's how I read it.
In fact, if it wasn't for Tanya's misunderstanding field I'd be complaining that she didn't stop at
Because with Shirogane growing up with this it would take Tanya level of a misunderstanding for not to already be aware of what happened to most of her mother's family and...
I'd describe that as poor worldbuilding, and those stories also usually have no plot
Good question, given the setup the story will involve empire building, but since the MC hasn't shown any interest in either politics or military command (quite the opposite in fact) she could leave that to the...
They don't. Most "good" empire builder stories suffer from either poor characterization, poor worldbuiding, a lack of plot, or all of the above.
Your story has great characterization, very good (and interesting) world building and an actual plot which I'd imagine makes writing the story a lot...
Can someone provide a summary or explanation for the crossover setting? I'm familiar with YJ and Tanya (and good job on giving them a new name for the third life), but this is the first I've heard of the crossover.
I've managed to figure it's a setting where there are some bipedal horse-girls...
I really wish at least the basics of formal logic were required in school.
"X is required for Y" does NOT mean all cases of X are Y.
In other words, no one claimed that slow transport and communication inevitably lead to feudalism.
The point is that it's not actually possible.
This means that Terra will never actual trust the Vilani to stick to their deal. In such a case of course they wouldn't agree to the deal, but that's a very different argument than what you were making before.
There is no way anyone could still it covertly - it's a BattleTech Device that requires basically no maintainence to keep working for a century. You can drop it in a pit and fill it with concrete - as long as the data cable is long enough to stick out it won't affect the operation.
Anyone...
Target to what? Remember we're talking about the Villani inviting the Terrans in order to get the use of the FTL com, the consulate would be protected by the Vilani empire.
And? A few dozen stations providing links from the various regional capitals and the imperial capital would be enough to...
Not nearly as much as you may thing, or as there used to be.
They'd be just as leery if someone with credentials showed up to provide them with the solution.
The normal process is approximately like this:
1)Scientists develop a possible solution, test it in their lab and are pretty sure it...
Yes, and? I stand by my previous statement. There might be cases where that's superior but for strategic movement it's decidedly inferior than BT jumpdrives which can go ~9.2 parsecs a jump. And that's before starting to count hot charging, Lithium-Fusion Batteries, charging stations, pirate...
Assuming you meant 55 kiloJouls per second, i.e 55kilowatts, and assuming it's efficent enough that you can use it for something other than a bomb(55kW in a 5cm diameter iron sphere means it goes from room temp to liquid in around 6 seconds, that's explosive disassembly of anything around it)...
