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 was going to post something, but this is steadily turning into a Celestial Forge discussion thread and that doesn't seem appropriate.
Which reminds me of what would be nice, ie: a Celestial Forge discussion thread. Does anyone know one? Not BCF, just one for the concept.
I'll admit, for a moment I was shocked at seeing the Black Computer, because I thought I'd put the Universe history into it. Got real shocked and excited that this was maybe going to suddenly get into Ancients and stuff.
But no, that's the flash drive.
Fun fact is that Disaster Area stuff is...
And what was said that 'is likely to purposefully redirect people for selfish reasons' is a category so broad, vague and frankly, nonsensical that it would be silly to try and implement measures against it in a book club, let alone the highest reaches of interstellar governance.
And thats...
I mean, there's also the fact that you don't really want to screen out any ambition and forethought? A GP full of members who have no plan forward for the genii they find, who don't want to achieve things with them, selfish or otherwise, is honestly a hunk of deadwood way worse than...

Joe would have found a thousand reasons to do nothing except sit in his warehouse and jerk off sleep hypothesize nonsensical reasons to justify why sitting around and doing nothing was the right choice. Oh, and whine about how bad it was to have a somewhat controlling mother who wouldn't...
Even if you take this as a win (I don't), the prize isn't actually the empire. It's 'anything she wants'. It's just that the reasonable prediction is that people will ask for the empire.
I swear, I don't care how dramatic Abaddon tries (and fails) to make it. If chain pulls out a victory out of her ass here, I'll print this comic out and burn it out of sheer spite.
I have to laugh at the obsessive need to glorify every little thing that comes out of White Chain's mouth. How else is this supposed to work? Solomon David training a student in a Sith system? That's gonna lead to a Sidious style takeover where the new ruler actually isn't powerful enough to...
Ah, the Unity is strength thing? That's a lot older than MLP tho. At least they seem to be doing it right. Like Ryuugi once said over at SB, the real Magic of Friendship is to have your friends along to beat up the other guy with you.
So Fate is easy enough to spot, and so is GoT (even if it's one of the stupidest things in the show, but let's not go there right now)...
What are the Tarot and MLP references?
Unrelated, it's a pity there are three swords too many in his back in that scene. I'd have liked it to be Seven.
