    What's with recent 502 errors?

    The down periods also seem to be taking more and more time before the site comes up. This looks to be something quite serious.

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    I'm now picturing a Great Dragon in a gown and bonnet. Cannot unsee.

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Potter won because no-nose didn't have or want the backing of magical Britain. He'd paralyzed the government into ineptitude and ineffectiveness so his death eaters could run rampant while the aurors were stuck with their thumbs up their asses. Also Rowling deliberately made all the adults...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    The Wizarding government is a wierd quasi parliamentary democracy on paper, but closer to an oligarchy with democratic trappings where none of the oligarchs wants the PMs seat because it was only ever intended to serve the role of a puppet to rubber stamp what they want. In the case of Fudge...

    You say that, but this is what people will hear. "Someone hurt something of mine. I don't know who, but I'm going to keep killing everyone and anyone until I find out." And once he attacks the first or second highly placed family with government connections, nothing he says will change that...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    The problem is that many of these 'former' death eaters all hold high positions in society and have enough hooks into the levers of power that they can put those levers between them and the angry dragon. It would not be Harry vs the Malfoys and friends in a nice neat queue, but Harry vs a...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    The issue is reasonable purges. A clearly identified target can leave the masses compliant in the knowledge that the boot won't squash them whether you're a dictator or dark lord. But rampaging dragons are not reasonable. At that juncture the masses will rise against you out of simple self...

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Hermione is a person who is very assured of herself. She 'knows' how the world works, and that everything will work out in accordance to her ambitions as long as she works hard at it. So when the world doesn't work out the way she thinks it does, especially in a traumatic manner, she can only...

    An argument can be made for criminal conspiracy and espionage, given that she deliberately compromised an ongoing investigation by publicly letting said criminals know that they were being hunted down. And if nothing else, they can simply point out who compromised the investigation to Potter...

    The Confederate mentioned an Aurora being tasked to survey the area. There is only one aircraft bearing that designation, and ITTL, it's a mostly conspiracy theorized black project hypersonic American spycraft. Guess it's not so much conspiracy here.

    A Different Choice (Cyberpunk 2077)

    I'm pretty sure if that happened, V's next meeting with Jackie wouldn't have been as cordial as it was. There's no way they wouldn't have been patted down to make sure all property was returned and verified, especially something as valuable as that.

    Obviously V is also an octogenarian, making her the oldest FPS protagonist ever. :p

    A Different Choice (Cyberpunk 2077)

    80, 85, not much difference at that point. Yorinobu would have been a bundle of overstressed neuroses ready to pop at any time.

    A Different Choice (Cyberpunk 2077)

    Makes Yorinobu's actions a tad more understandable if he's the same age. Imagine living in your father's shadow for 80 years, every aspect of your life micromanaged under his will.

    Tempted. Didn't go through it. Rationalized to a lesser action. Did you miss all those parts? Stop trying to cherry pick stuff. If I only displayed all the negative impulses you've had but didn't go through, you'd probably end up looking like a perverted serial killer.

    He's also dealing with the American Indian shamans well enough. No handholding there. There's also the fact that he's literally starting a company. Yes, he had seed money from his body parts, but the ideas, concept and all that is his. And let's not forget he did work out a plan to provide...

    I think the whole knight thing is just neuroses on his part, since the last mention of it was in regards to home security. He seems to be navigating politics decently enough

    But not impossible for someone serving as their spymaster/ninja.

    No railway lines presumably.

    Enter the Dragon (Harry Potter/Shadowrun)

    Please take your conspiracy illuminati "9/11 was an inside job" nonsense somewhere else. It has no place on this thread, and is literally against the board rules about bringing up current politics.
