Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
I wouldnt worry. I liked it. I feel it maintained some tension and I wouldn't find it hard to believe the Umiak thought they could get away with anything less then their best. Especially since boarding action isn't all that common this late in the war.

Re: Outsider music score edition
Im reading through with all these suggestions and I have got to say it helps with ambiance immensely. I am struck with the thought that Ensign Jardin is extremely expressive. Arioch does good work with expressions.

Re: Religious Discussion
Props to icekatze for making an effort to try to not be biased in taking a contrary position in an argument where he is likely to draw the ire of others for doing so.

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
Basically, what keeps the women from the front lines is first, male bias, then biology and finally the complete disregard for human rights from the vast majority of countries in the world, and how this backwards behavior from the enemy has a very negative effect on male morale due to their own back...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Although it was a Soroin diral, this was a group that followed the Belerid tradition of conducting the trial at sea aboard a wooden sailing vessel. Being shoved on a sail boat with a bunch of other kids and told to succeed or die sounds distinctly more hard core than being shoved into the wildernes...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
Did you ever consider having each Earthly nation, or at least the biggest ones, have their own space fleets? It would have been cool to see how differently the US, the UK, and China would have built their ships. :D They would all have the same ships because designing ships of different looks for th...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
The only point Grayhome might be able to make is that the Loroi knowingly used telekinetic guards for the meeting and that the diplomat is still visibly armed with an amplifier. To say that no telekinetic can attend a diplomatic meeting just because they were born that way is stupid. He is correct i...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
One thing that should be considered is that to the Loroi, Neridi, Barsoom and the Historians, that way of data structure in archives might make sense, to them. To us it clearly doesn't. But then we developed completely independently of anyone and have an entirely different viewpoint because of it. ...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
If there must be a "good cop - bad cop" situation, and considering that the Loroi think of speech as a way of being insultive and challenging, then who's the bad cop here? ;) Wait a minute guys. This is a good point. The bad cop isnt talking therefore this must be a different strategy. An alien str...

Re: Page 103 discussion.
I'm betting conservative thinking is a standard amongst Loroi, given unwanted thoughts are a real issue for Loroi morale. Lateral thinking is probably more the talent Jardin is noted for, and not exactly being some strategic genius, but surely a quality that would make him one, given more practical...

However on Land weapons the Japanese were horribly under equiped, their infantry weapons were probably the worst used in the war (probably on par with the Italians) and their tanks were beyond coffins of metal, even the Sherman was considered top of the line when compared with them.

I thought I had already posted this, but I don't see it: I am pretty sure in the book that the military (i.e., combat) isn't the only "accepted" form of public service, just seen as the most glamorous and prestigious.
