I'm alive, and so is this comic! Seriously glad to be back, sometime I'll go and read through all the threads I've missed. And--two updates! Whoa! My personal interpretation of Beryl's sudden apprehension upon seeing Tempo is that, well, she'd just told Alex all about the drama between the Loroi cre...

I remember this! Hi guys!

My cousin told me stories about being in the Scouts. Stories about his alcoholic Scoutmaster and how they would regularly spend their time screwing around while camping rather than doing anything productive. I remember stories about propane tanks being used in very unsafe ways. The problem with Sco...

*blink blink* You did a better job explaining than I would have ever dreamed of. Perhaps I am but a wee bit bitter, as the Scout troop that has provided me with the majority of my Scouting experience wasn't all that high-quality of a troop. Patrols were kind of scaled down (still there, but what the...

One could interpret it that way. Could be also an: i so dont trust you that i need to hold the hand that could draw a sword at me. True. I was once part of the Scouts, a rather interesting organization (a paramilitary group founded to teach young boys how to survive at war, a goal which it has appa...

Hm. It would be interesting to see Loroi anthropologists puzzling over that particular gesture. One can imagine them accepting it as a sort of primitive proof of non-hostility that humans have developed in lieu of sanzai. Wasn't that how the handshake originally developed?

Jolly good, old bean. Let us retire to the parlor for a spot of tea.

Chatzilla.

Sorry. I do occasionally meddle with IRC, but I haven't managed to get the thing to work for loroiunion yet.

I actually prefer to use the forms for discussion as I can check in the evening after work and putting the kids to bed. If everyone starts using the IRC channel I would end up missing some interesting discussions which I enjoy reading on the forums. My 3 cents. :) ^This, minus the "putting the kids...

Do you want to know something random?

I learned this bit of news from this very forum.

My first action immediately afterwards was to check CNN, and yup, it's confirmed. Still...to have a major news story broken for me by this forum...

Yeah.

Directly demoted from Lieutenant?

That's a lot better than "I misremembered her rank," so let's just stick with that.

One trombone, slightly bent. Considered a curiosity. One chess board and set of ornate playing pieces, almost 80% complete. Captain Jardin substitutes seemingly random items for the missing pieces when playing against Loroi. Considered fully understood. Four Terran-model space toilets. Considered c...

There are other ways around this: - impose a limit that you can only post a new thread after 10 posts - Ask a question during registry only someone sentient could answer - Have people fill in a random code during the first 10 posts. The 2nd one is a very good one, something about the comic may be? ...

Please, can we leave the whole mess of religion, icons and holy relics behind on the Earth when we leave, not carry it into space. It's divisive and leads only to conflict - any faith-based social structure is too vulnerable to misuse by the power-hungry . Sadly, you can't take tendency to faith aw...

Aw. At least they can have Anne McCaffrey ebooks.

An Anne McCaffrey fan!!??!

Born and raised on those books. Amen.

Right, we've all seen the spambots and things floating through here like nobody's business. They've gone from posting random strings of words to deploying pornographic images, showing a marked increase in complexity. It is clear that, on this forum at least, the spambots are evolving. And that's ter...
