Imagine not expecting 2160 Disney to be an all-powerful interplanetary dominion holding more sway than the TCA, with the true secret purpose behind Scout Corps' TF-32 assignment being discovery of new markets to push Disney+. Only the US version of crony capitalism allows for the trademarking of wid...

And if by conspiracy theory, you mean any belief in contradiction to known fact...

Wait, would that include believing that the actual Soia of the Loroi were the Anunnaki pink binzers with iron-based blood pigments?

I'm sure there are still Loroi who believe that Greywind engineered her predecessor's death, despite the lack of evidence to back it up.

Neat

If I said they didn't, you would assume I'm part of the conspiracy.

You're evading the question like you're a part of the conspiracy.

Is the Union known to have noteworthy secret societies, aside from open political opposition, such as the Axis? Do Loroi, Neridi or Barsam have or had their equivalents of Freemasons, Illuminati, Rosicrucians and Thule Society, be they centred around political, martial or mystical issues? If they do...

What special accommodations do men require?

Wouldn't radio work if the groups using it are themselves decentralized? Just having means of broadcasting and receiving signals does not a comm network make. Just for us to exchange shitposts on this forum over the Internets requires these signals being properly encoded, transmitted to proper proc...

Define obliterate; Achieve effects similar to indiscriminate orbital bombardment. an uncoordinated opposition is an opposition that will not mount effective resistance and will be unable to maneuver and counter attack effectively. True. It will also be unable to recognize, consider and reasonably r...

Once the shooting starts you want everyone blind, deaf, mute and panicking. As uncoordinated and chaotic as possible. If you want to obliterate everything, naturally. But that's just a longer and more painful way of glassing the planet - the invasion itself implies that we'd rather have them kneel ...

Repeated calls for surrender should start the moment orbital supremacy is accomplished, shock and awe maneuvers by the fleet during during its deployment orbit should highlight the fact to the population at large; not just the military and civilian leadership. Full spectrum electronic surveillance ...

I'm a Victorian-era historian That's... kinda awesome. the aristocracy made up such a small portion of the population so as to be statistically insignificant, But the cultured strata are always the ones who get all the memes and fame. And like I said - such cases would seem to be still quite below ...

I don't think they were. We are talking about an era where doctors proscribed/administered vibrators for depressed ladies, wealthy men typically had mistresses or attended brothels. During the same era, a very significant share of those aristocrats were extremely, mindbogglingly illiterate on the i...

Fair enough. Thank you for answering!

I don't think that anything Talon or Spiral said indicates that they are looking forward to their deaths, or that they find the prospect agreeable (on the contrary, Spiral concurs with Alex that "it is the most messed up!"). Eh, might be just my flawed reading. It sorta seems that they are amused a...

Early Christianity was obsessed with martyrdom; suffering and the abasement of the self was considered holy. Priests were (nominally) supposed to renounce sex and all forms of Earthly pleasure. Devout followers routinely fasted or engaged in self-flagellation to become more "pure." Pleasures of the...

Societally speaking up until recently it was in society's best interests to ensure as many births as possible while also having a large number of farmhands. High infant mortality, frequent disease outbreaks, frequent wars and famines; you name it and it's a reason to ensure that as many people proc...

Ok I have to ask. You said that the Loroi enjoy sex so do they (help themselves).

There was a wonderful discussion on this subject in one of the /tg/ threads.

Arioch, please let this one remain canonically a mystery!

And we've seen the Loroi don a kind of suit for the battle situations. (https://www.well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider138.html) Pilots do - totally helmetless Alex and Beryl in their plain cloth uniforms are sitting just out of the frame, in the same air volume with Talon. And Talon herself did no...

What if the slug were stealth? I don't see why not. If a setting allows SPEHHS STELF it typically changes the doctrine way, way more than just by making mass-drivers more viable. Outsider, however, does not seem to operate on that assumption - sensors are good and reliable enough so that if there's...

Maneuvering in space is not that easy, you have to factor in the mass of your ship, the size of your RCS thrusters, how far way the projectile is, how fast it is moving, as well as if your ship is full of people who break if too many Gs hit them. You may have no choice but to take the hit. Well, in...
