Re: page 196: Crossfire
The traditional form of the game represents a fortress on a hill; the "modern" version represents a planet in a gravity well. The mechanics are the same in both versions. Arioch, what is the closest equivalent of a turn-based wargame like the "Crossfire" game in our timeline? And I don't mean the 9...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
I didn't think about that. What about someone who is named the fifth. like Henry V, not the king just some rando. It's important to consider that the Loroi have been exposed to numerous alien cultures, so they have seen practices that differ from their own. The Barsam in particular reuse names freq...

Spurred on by recent medical bullshit:

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
If I were to make a guess, they would likely use our existing taxonomy structure with a single Latin word added to the front to denote planetary ecosystem of origin (and we would retroactively gain one for every lifeform on Earth). There would need to be a new classification category for the world ...

Re: Life is hard . .
Arioch, how profitable were the items you offer in that shop? Adding more might be a decent stretch goal. Never sold more than a few, but I think merchandise is something which should definitely be revisited at some point. There are a lot more options today than there were when I set that up. I thi...

Re: Page 164: Smells like buttocks!
I think that Spiral put it best in regards to Tempo's approach: Smell like buttocks! Remember that Stillstorm called her dishonest in regards to how she approached Alex, heavily implying that they saw more eye to eye than Tempo would like Alex to believe, Tempo is still on the side that considers A...

Does Trade use any punctuation other than the two marks listed in the Insider (such as equivalents to periods, commas, parentheses, dashes, question/exclamation marks, or quotation marks)?

Re: Loroi Trade translation request general
I recall a scene in some fanfiction or another where a high-ranking loroi had busted out a physical typewriter as a form of INFOSEC, and am now wondering to myself what its keyboard (or, to be more precise, a computer keyboard, even though they've no doubt abandoned physical same ages ago) looks lik...

Re: What does YOUR Name Mean?
Check, Sasha is short for Alexander or Alexandra. Had a ‘wait, what?’ moment upon first hearing that. Had same feeling when learnt that Dick = Richard and Bill = William. Peggy = Margaret. I imagine this could be whispered in Alex’s ear by Beryl in the Russian translation of the comic It is very un...
