That poor schlub would be me, and luckily I'm beyond the reach of Loroi discipline.Carl Miller wrote:More to the point, why is it loroi-only, and what did they do to the poor schlub who painted it backwards?
Sometimes when I'm creating textures, they're too small to be seen in the context in which they're used, and so I don't put a lot of thought into the text that goes on them. Then, months later, I reuse a texture and it ends up being readable. It happens.

I meant the in-universe poor schlub.

Why is final -i elided in compound words? and what exactly is the environment in which that elision occurs?

Thank you for clarification. It makes sense now.Arioch wrote: It actually reads nozedorol (trade being read from right to left), which isn't a word in the lexicon. It may simply be gibberish, or I may have meant lorodezon (which I guess would be "Loroi only") and forgot to reverse the letters.
Re: Page 112
Maybe not even the loroi are immune from misspelling from time to time. A misspelt is sign is up, people see, it and smile and giggles at the funny sign spreading a warm fuzzy feeling through the zansai to their surroundings.SVlad wrote:Thank you for clarification.

Huh? No no. This is a military ship. That makes it an acronym. I guarantee it.

nemo: that is mostly US military, the americans do love their acronyms

Tempo may also be feinging sleep to monitor the two we just shiped in the cockpit.
Beryle I doubt could be subtle to save her life, but Tempo has had the look, stance, and attitude of a woman of power, who earned that rank, and uses everything she has to perform everything to her best. Add the fact appearance wise this would be a 10 out of 10 stunner by human standards, Jardin probably haveing some discomfort.
If this means going full fem fetal with her sexuality, or getting a young pilot that to "distract" pinky, why not?
Of course, then again, we could find out he's gay so...even more awkward.

Re: Page 112
Now that I think about it, Tempo may be sending a message to a Farseer. Due to broadcast strength, Farseers mostly get used for reception, and Mizol for send (because Mizol can "tune" to specific listeners).
Re: Page 112
interesting idea. I thought that range was limited and that's why they use trade speak in battle?
Re: Page 112
Signal strength seems to be the limiting factor, not range. Which is where the Farseers come in: they are more powerful telepaths in all ways, and thus can sense/hear/etc. from a farther range (hence "Farseer"), in addition to broadcasting over a further range.
And the reason for Trade in battle is that telepathy use weakens their resistance to telepathic attacks (and possibly tactical issues as well).

Re: Page 112
Actually its both range and signal strength, Loroi cannot 'send' to someone they are not in range to detect while the amplified sendings of farseers are too strong to be used at will.
Re: Page 112
Tempo isn't Farseer because Loroi F. isolated from in special-caste and IIRC aren't military caste also.thicket wrote:or maybe Tempo IS a Farseer?
By the way, an interesting thought: if the detection range for active psionic send much wider of detection range of a reasonable, then F., trained to detect any Umiak are able to detect an active psionic talker at times more distance.

Unless the active telepath is 'hidden' by being in the midst of several millions or billions of aliens is my wager.Tamri wrote:Tempo isn't Farseer because Loroi F. isolated from in special-caste and IIRC aren't military caste also.thicket wrote:or maybe Tempo IS a Farseer?

Only in the event that the environment will be at least half as well viewed. Because otherwise psionicist relatively inert (with respect to psycho-background) encirclement will stand out for a distant observer as a boil on his ass. Especially when compared using the ratio of the average Loroi in a passive mode feels reasonable for a dozen meters, and actively "sounding" tribeswoman - hundreds.dragoongfa wrote: Unless the active telepath is 'hidden' by being in the midst of several millions or billions of aliens is my wager.

Re: Page 112
The numbers should work inversely though, 1 active telepath being amidst millions or billions of others shouldn't stand out like a beacon.Tamri wrote:Only in the event that the environment will be at least half as well viewed.

Re: Page 112
Psionic can "get lost in the crowd" only at a distance, where the "crowd" can be seen - and then farther, the more reasonable become noise, and then completely disappear from sight. Well, kind of like if a kilometer to look at the searchlight surrounded by a multitude of candles. Candles will distort the image of searchlight. But with ten kilometers have candles will be lost on the background of the searchlight.dragoongfa wrote: The numbers should work inversely though, 1 active telepath being amidst millions or billions of others shouldn't stand out like a beacon.
