Loroi Emperor Tip #12:

“I will have on my staff of advisors a 5-year old child. Any flaws in my plans that he spots will be corrected before the plan is put into effect.”

OWOG uwu “OWOG” = “Outsider Word Of God” = A direct statement from Arioch explaining something about the Outsider webcomic. Now ↑THAT↑ I can wrap my head around! It is enough to say, "They make babies" without explaining how their babies are made. As a fellow worldbuilder, strong agree. I prefer th...

@ARIOCH: How did you generate the 'exterior' background in the bottom panel of #217?

It looks like either a photo or a very realistic drawing.

  Talon and Spiral are making practice runs over rough terrain, and keeping contact by radio. Talon: "Spiral, you need to increase your altitude." Spiral: "What for?" Talon: "Noise avoidance." Spiral: "Noise?  What noise?  We are so high up, no one on the ground can hear us!  What noise could there ...

 
Alex: "Hey, Spiral!  How many times do your fighters blow up?"

 
Alex: "Do Loroi ever employ pick-up lines?"

Beryl: "Of course we do, Enzin!"

Alex: "Would you like to try one on me?"

Beryl: "Of course!"  So Beryl leans in real close and softly says . . .

  One day, Alex and Silver Moon were touring a miros processing plant when a beast in a nearby holding pen suddenly lets out an enormously loud burst of flatulence. Silver Moon turns to Alex and says, "I apologize, Enzin!" Alex replies, "That's okay.  I am impressed, though." "Why is that, Enzin?" "...

 
Now ↑THAT↑ I can wrap my head around!

It is enough to say, "They make babies" without explaining how their babies are made.

Do not get me wrong; I am not seeking a loophole in the "No Human-Loroi Hybrids" OWOG statement. I am only curious how far you may have gone in establishing Loroi biology.  Certainly, the corporeal level is well-formed (pun intended).  But the cellular and sub-cellular levels are left vague -- purpo...

Hmm... are there pygmy loroi, then? Pygmy and dwarf Loroi would be different how? "Pygmies" seem to be ordinary people of small stature, while achondroplasia ("dwarfism") involves under-developed limbs with the head and body growing to normal sizes. • • • Interesting claim, though . . . that Loroi ...

A single grenade would probably not be effective against an alert teidar, but a Macross  Missile  Grenade Massacre just might succeed.

 
Beryl: <what creature on head of Alex?>

Tempo: <perreinian mind-sucker>

Beryl: <it doing what?>

Fireblade: <starving>

I guess, loroi dont really like grenades as a weapon?

Didja ever play tennis?  Imagine two teidar vollying a live grenade back and forth . . .

If Outsider has any value as content, it's because of the creative choices that I make in its creation, and not through whatever questionable skills as an illustrator I possess. In my opinion, it is both. Without your illustrative skills, Outsider would look like another Randall Monroe webcomic — t...

@ARIOCH: Does the Loroi in the second image on the “Loroi Rites of Passage” page have a name? I am looking for one I can use for a fanfic. If the Loroi has no name, may I have your permission to give her one and use the image on the title page?

An individual who endures hardship is thought to ease the hardship of those around her, and an individual who survives at the expense of others is not someone that others want to be around. To that extent it could be described as zero-sum. When you put it that way, dalid kinda makes sense (in the S...

I wonder if there is a phrase in Trade that is the equivalent of our "S███ Happens" or "Bahala na".

@ARIOCH: Is the Loroi concept of "Luck" a zero-sum concept?  I mean, does the concept consider a successful person to have stolen the 'luck' of those who have failed?  I was thinking about former classmates who accused me of stealing their grade-points after I scored highly on exams -- that the onl...

Wow . . . just, wow!

The story is superb, and I hope Wolf can "backfill" some of the earlier chapters with his illustrations!
