I win.

That is a rather Pyrrhic victory, Mr. Montague.

That is a beautiful image.

It is unfortunate that I must now desecrate it.

lake is "mennis" (the automatically-generated word was "penis", which is obviously not acceptable. )

I am now imagining Beryl trying to take Alex on a long, romantic tour of the penises of Seren.

The .pdf in this .zip file.

According to the upload timestamp, that file was from the middle of 2006, so you should understand that a number of things (such as the number of SR torpedoes in a cluster, or the number of lasers on escort cruisers) have changed since it went up.

matching numbers of chromosomes with identical size and shape, the same kinds of genes located on the same chromosomes at the same locations, etc., etc. Humans cannot even produce viable interspecies offspring with their own immediate ancestors -- apes, chimps, and other primates.

Trying to create a plausible-sounding alternate biochemistry is always a huge can of worms. Like trying to create a form of FTL or inertial dampeners or space stealth and then trying to make them sound plausible, but moreso (imo) because those sorts of violations of physics have become ingrained int...

A question:

Did the Loroi have any sort of equivalent to horse cavalry?

Aside from beasts of burden, have the Loroi made significant use of domesticated animals in warfare? Attack dogs, cavalry horses, war elephants, sopwith camels, bear artillery, fire bats, anything of that nature?

Emotional reunion, jump-induced nightmare, what's the difference, right? ;) No different. Only different in your mind. --Yoda Or because the unaccounted for crew-members are also onboard and they want them to think they're alone to see if they're lying Umiak constructs. No, in fact the reason Alex ...

ed_montague wrote:As improbable as it may be, I really want an emotional reunion scene.

I thought we already had an emotional reunion scene.

The emotion was fear.

It wouldn't be surprising if the Lori don't use an American style personal space. Most *human* cultures stand closer together and touch each other more frequently then Americans. Though not all, in some cultures people stand further apart and touch each other less. Well, when Alex was walking to th...

Also this re-enforces my thought that Stillstorm has been keeping him in solitary, probably just because she can. I think you're being awfully unfair to Stillstorm when you say things like that. My own impression was that it was Tempo who had kept him in solitary, possibly for a variety of reasons ...

...man, I am out of practice.

I'm not sure if I feel proud or ashamed.

My thoughts, in .gif format:

You could probably use more "types" of bits to represent data, e.g., 0, 1, and 2 (trinary). How you would map those to logical values, though, I'm not too sure about... Through the power of Communism, of course. Anyways. I don't really understand data retrieval very well myself, but I decided to wr...

I thought the goal was to improve the situation.

That seems like more of a lateral move.

Twilight did a hell of a number on vampires, and spawned a host of lame-ass vampires in the same general directions as twipires, capitilizing on the genre of emopires. If it hadn't been Twilight making sparkly boyfriend vampires it would have been someone else, as you yourself pointed out that the ...

Beryl: starts crying "I don't want to go!!!!"
Fireblade: Good lord, not this crap again

Actually that stuff on the right is from Fireblade's GURPS sheet, not Beryl's.

Sorry, I should have made that clear.

Poor Fireblade.

I don't think the silent tough girl thing is something I'd call an "act," in her case.

More a "way of life."
