We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Heh, a fitting song for them, given the nature of their changes. They've all effectively marched off into service. And presumably, hopefully, when they aren't needed any more, they can be restored and go marching home. Those that want to, anyway.
I'm honestly impressed at OL for not getting...
Well, looks like Earth Sixteen is headed straight up Ship Creek without a paddle, and it looks like the League are having to be the ones to build that paddle. And if OL is running the numbers this hard then things really are that bad.
So, then. What will this Earth look like in a year's time...
And training solo without an observer is never a good idea. All it takes in one pebble in the wrong place, and a simple slip can turn into a fatal trip. It's even worse if you're dealing with actual opponent combatants.
Well, then. It looks like seeing the numbers laid out have made it clear...
Pushing herself hard, I see. I suppose the training bots can only be made so strong individually, especially against a Kryptonian. At least this opens up new tactical options for them and her. Such as tossing them at each other...
Right, time to see what the League is doing in the face of all...
I see they've moved straight to some basic combat training, then. Poor weather for it, but real fights don't wait for a convenient sunny day. I suppose if she's going to be more proactive, OL wants to make sure she doesn't get blindsided again.
While this is good for elementary training...
Checking in on Local Kara, eh? She did take a nasty hit back at Kord-tech. and while the Fortress' technology can handle the physical repairs, I have to wonder how her mind is after all that.
It's impressive how well Local Kara's bouncing back from this. You'd think she'd have been more upset...
Ah, his other nominal mentor coming to confer with him. At least she'll understand the need to use lethal force, and likely the reasons for it. Which means they'll probably be discussing things like his going around the League for operational clearance...
Hmm... Alan and Guy might be better...
It's good enough for most methods of eavesdropping up to and including a Power Ring, certainly. Unless a listener was in the room beforehand and concealed, they would not be hearing anything.
If even the woman closest to Batman, the one most likely to go 'Super-soldier army? All right' and...
It looks like most of them are accepting that no, they weren't really needed here. Though they might end up reaching that resolution from different angles. This probably was a bit outside the typical teen-hero wheelhouse, though... Amazed canon Batman got away with sending them after the...
Sadly, 'real life' doesn't work like D&D, or any other sort of role-playing game no matter how simulationist. People aren't going to react to something scary by going 'I roll a Will Save!' unless they have a very loose grip on reality.
OL's really got to keep track of his own in-jokes with...
Ah, a universe where the heroes haven't learned to be wary when an OL calls them up for a chat. I suspect this is going to change that quite soon.
Well, hopefully this won't be CS!OL's last heroic deployment. This will really put the cat amongst the pigeons in the League meetings, not least...
Interesting that his rebuilt part is delineated here. Or is at least able to be told apart from the older sections. Presumably this place echoes the real city like a dark mirror, a half-finished fantasy of what is and what could be...
Well, not an entirely unproductive talk. OL made sure he's...
So, to some degree, the idealised form of itself... As rendered in a low-quality 3d model. So this is almost certainly not the real world anymore. It looks like the Question has done something dreadfully clever.
Well, I suppose it's private enough. Still, I can't help but picture it as...
A good idea. A deep scan like that will mark anything concealed by its sheer absence of presence. Blank spots in an otherwise detailed map. Which can act as a starting point for further examination...
Hmm... At least he's still in a lighthouse. Possibly shunted into some pocket dimension...
Aw, OL. You seem embarrassed to be participating in heroic traditions. Or is it more that you're concerned about what paranoid traps he might have set up, especially after his Anti-Life exposure? I know I would be.
Still seems risky to let Luthor keep the gubbins, but if Batman is watching...
Ah, the missiles didn't level the place outright? A shame, but it probably would have taken much larger ordnance to manage that, I suppose. At least he won't have to resort to DNA matching to identify the remains.
Heh. Such casual disregard for boss fight setups. I suppose Common Sense is...
Heh, clever. I'm guessing this is more of a mini-mecha like Paragon's Heavy Powered Armour than something like the sort of thing Alan wore in Kingdom Come. But at least he's loaded for bear. Or rather, magically empowered criminals.
Welp, so ends the 'Injustice League'. Any of them without a...
Ah, the depressing realisation that maybe the superheroes don't always win. Fortunately, Tetch isn't really dangerous outside of his access to New God technology and the Peace Agents' control interfaces. As far as we know, anyway.
I have the feeling the Tetch/Question.. question will continue...
Interesting. Taking quite a step back, to the day of the Injustice League action? Common Sense OL's got quite the backlog of incidents to rationally and calmly sort through, of course...Incidents that get settled a lot more wisely than most alternates...
I bet the Light will be sitting...
New episode time! I'd wondered why the Renegade scenes popped up. They were a sort of denouement. As for this one... Between the title and this initial statement (And boy, is that a loaded sentence or what?) there's a lot of potential there for people finding problems to deal with or accept...
