Re: Is the comic dead?
Not choosing to be born is not the same as being forced into the world. As a father who was present during birth: oh yes, the mother cannot do otherwise than FORCE the kid into the world. It's not called "to be in labour" without reason. It is hard work to push that kid out. Very forceful shoving. ...

Re: Is the comic dead?
Even a fruit tree planted by a farmer is not forced into the world, because the farmer had no intention of bringing into the world any specific tree. He planted a seed and a tree grew from it. As a gardener I highly disagree with this. I pick a type of seed out of thousands of options, most of whic...

Re: Is the comic dead?
How is that not the same? One suggests that there was a membrane between being in the world and not being in the world, and you were on one side of it until someone grabbed you and pushed you through it into the other side. The other does not. Pick a random tree in a forest and ask yourself if it m...

Re: Is the comic dead?
No one chooses to be come into the world... they are forced in. No-one is forced into the world. Not to turn this into a heated, philosophical debate, but I got to agree with Bamax... no one chose to be born....... ..... not that I'm complaining about being alive. :mrgreen: Not choosing to be born ...

Re: Page 217: Where is Cloud?
Regarding Shoegirl's (Cloud) quick death: that might be by design too. If you need to fake that the shuttle is not unmanned, you need someone. I don't know in how far pain translated into Sanzai and from there into the minds of the other Loroi. It might be difficult for all Loroi to stay hidden if ...

Re: Page 216: Time to move!
It's not even that complicated. All you have to do is sync clocks with a ship or station in the departure system before you jump, then jump back and compare clocks. Does every jump between 2 systems always take the same amount of time? When I read the page the idea I got from it was that if you jum...

Re: Page 216: Time to move!
I'm pretty sure the problem of simultaneity isn't going to come into play if you have 2 star systems that work on some form of common time.

Re: Hardest Space Game You Ever Played And Completed
Probably either Star Control 2 or, there's this ancient sci-fi strategy game where you control a world and from what I recall you get contact with an alien species only for them to be swiftly wiped out by some unknown enemy. I never even made it to when that unknown enemy reached me. Can't remember ...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Would Loroi warning and traffic signs and lights be in Blue rather than Red? I assume emergency lighting would still be in red, since it helps preserve night vision.
