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.

I completely disagree. It was already mentioned that he was relieved his family wasn't killed while Superman served Darkseid. He hardly needs this lesson. It's a silly lesson anyway, he's lived for how long? He knows this isn't a cartoon.
This isn't how it was like originally though. Initially, there was the number two: heaven/earth, world/underworld, brother/twin (the two gods), sacrifice/sacrificer, day/night, warm/cold, summer/winter (they didn't have spring/fall as separate things, probably because mediterranean/tundra...
I'm not going to give Kirkbride quite this much credit. God wars are a standard part of myths and fantasy, he could've gotten the idea from anywhere. Also, a lot of this stuff either hadn't been discovered when the ES lore was codified, or was restricted to a few old, generally unknown books...
The reconstruction of old prehistory is an ongoing thing, and I'm not as thoroughly versed in it so I might be getting some things wrong, but I'll try to formulate a coherent theory.
This actually doesn't seem to be the case. The original gods of the Old Europeans seem to have been a pair of...
That's about all anyone knows about him. A Jotunn through and through (God of War Ragnarok pretty much flipped the narrative and moral roles of everyone in the myths).
If we go with the myths being allegory, Surtr is probably the natural disaster envisioned as the cause behind the next mass...
You can ask him, but only if you really want to for yourself, not if it's purely on my account. At this point I think I got enough of what I needed, from you and the WH thread.
Thanks, it's alright. I'll look into things more before I bother him, but if I can't figure out something, I'll tag him somewhere. Maybe I'll ask in the WH Ideas thread first.
I guess we fundamentally disagree then.
Your argument is very disingenuous, I gotta say. I was arguing about guns vs superpowers, because that's what the tread is about. You seem determined to goal-shift it into 'civilians aren't as well trained as the people whose job it is to fire them.' Not...
You don't need to be special forces to fire a gun on target. You don't even need to be any kind of soldier. You just need a few sessions at the range.
No, the lethality is not at all conditional. There's good reasons why gun safety is the first and most important thing drilled into your head...
Could someone delete the poll on this thread of mine, please? The main two results are practically neck and neck so I want to run a tie-breaker poll in the same thread.
I don't see an option to do it myself, even after forum migration, so I assume this is still an 'on request' thing.
Guns should have sauteed 85% of all parahumans in Worm, at least. A rando with a gun would've ganked Jack Slash a long time ago, for example, if the author really played the 'non-brutes' straight.
Key takeway here: bullets are faster than sound. That means that even bullshit reflexes won't do...
Dead for the time being, sorry to say. MAYBE I'll pick it up after I finish one of the ones I'm regularly updating (the Naruto one will almost certainly end first). But I'll put it up on a poll against a bunch of other options, so it's not guaranteed.
