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.
Because that would break the setting and make raids, except for huge ones by major governments impossible.
Since the entire setting is based around a couple of isolated lances duking it out anything that prevents that is forbidden.
I can see it not being illegal, but it's definitely enough to at the very least get them an "invitation" to defend themselves to the ethics committee or get disbarred.
The line I was referring to was
Which seems to be a request for Payne to pressure his client to agree based on Payne's financial interest. That is extremely unethical and possibly illegal.
Fair enough, and I suppose even if they were pushing to maximize pain and humiliation for SDN rather than...
My point was, if they establish their goal of making SDN hurt rather than getting as much money as they could from them, they could end up not getting paid much (relatively speaking)
:)
Pretty close, but the only reason Courtney even considered accepting was that they were going to have to leave so couldn't drag SDN through the full, public court process. Her original plan was "Crucify 'em with dull nails, then skin and salt the hide." and the only reason they looked at the...
@cliffc999 Very nice, even if oddly disappointing, although I expect I'd feel that regardless of how you chose to end the story.
I do note with interest that "what I have said is not a lie" is very different from "what I have said is the truth", which makes me wonder what the Ancient one is...
Not sure what to hope for. On the one hand Steve and Courtney going to the Avenger-verse after beating all their enemies sounds like a great way to fuck up all of Hydra's plans, on the other a story that ends with Captain America settling down to some perfectly mundane civilian job would be a...
My first thought? If Shroud is the guy who invented the power source for Mecha-Man, I wouldn't assume he needs any fissile material.
That's a good way to make SDN we see actually make sense.
This shouldn't have been jarring, but the sudden shift from Clancyesque investigation back to superhero...
The thing is, the main way they actually get away with this sort of shit is by NOT actually admitting that's what they're doing, especially not in front of witnesses.
This isn't even a matter of getting sued - the only way any of SDN's legal team could keep working for SDN without risking their...
True, but it does remove both the evidence he has that right and thus most of the reason to wear such medals.
People who see him wear the medals would not see a decorated soldier of an elite unit - they'd see (at best) a glory hound claiming medals no one can prove he didn't earn just for the...
That's very different than what was claimed (and I asked for a cite) and more importantly, nearly impossible for people in-universe to identify as a thing even assuming it was a general rule because it requires them to first acknowledge the source of the powers can have opinions/feelings, second...
While it can be debetaed weather or not her issues were related to her shard, she definitely wasn't a case of "gone insane in lore because of not using powers", she used her powers a lot, the theory that her issues were caused or excrabated by her shard is that, like in Leet's case the shard...
