I don't know if you noticed yet, but I added a new dual quoting system because of, well, people who couldn't handle text properly at Comicboards. So now you can use [ quote ] and [ /quote ] (without the spaces) to do this:
Quote: This is quoted text
or the older-fashioned > character like this:
> This is also quoted text.
|
The former method also indents all the quotes nicely like below, especially when nested together. Now you know how I do it.
Quote:
Quote: Do the Lair Legion still get credit for 1 out of 3?
Sure. And if there's extra points for effort the LL have got to get some too. Shame there isn't.
I'm sure someone will complain that he also doesn't have candy like Xander did.
Quote:
Quote: This is a fun place to compare Yuki and Anna. They both have similar sensory input, and the same amount of control over it. The difference is Yuki has a much finer sense of timing - Anna would probably have waited longer to turn off her taste sensation. But at the same time, Anna is also capable of processing and discarding a lot more of it before she has to resort to shutting it off.
Without Yuki's ability to completely divest one sensory input F'Lurgh would have been much harder to beat. Apart from the Shoggoth I can't think of one Legionnaire that could have withstood his assaults.
Anna's ability to sort through taste sensations more quickly is one of the "improvements" over an average human brain - she can compare patterns much more quickly. Just like an average human in a huge crowd has problems identifying individual people, but Anna would be able to process them much faster. She's a bit like Rain Man that way, only without the hangups.
Quote:
Quote: Of course Anna is also still learning the meaning of carefully measured violence. She tends to under-react or over-react still.
Noted.
Sometimes she'll hide or run from fights she can obviously win because she's afraid of hurting someone unnecessarily. Or sometimes she'll have a self-preservation instinct and avoid fighting something too big or dangerous. But like humans she has a temper, and a limit to how far she'll be pushed - then she may resort to excessive violence.
Quote:
Quote: btw, the ape city can only be entered through teleportation, but hardly anyone who can do that wants to visit it.
Given that the three major visits in the last two centuries have ended in violence and destruction you can see why Galor wants to keep the city private.
Of course, there have been a number of apes that have abandoned Vesalia to cause trouble in the world beyond: Evil Monkey, Sock Monkey, Rape Ape, and Brass Monkey are all expatriots of Vesalia.
Either way, it's not somewhere Lara Night or Liu Xi Xian would want to drop in on and look around.
Quote: I'll try and get to it tonight. It's going to take a little bit more work than some of the other sections because I'll have to go back and look more things up. For example I need to research the names of Census Atlas' brother, of Vinnie's ex-fiancee, of Vizh's Cosmic Appraiser, and of the former Queen of the Werewolves.
What's funny is, I tried to look up Vinnie's ex-fiancee too, and couldn't find it. In one of my recent stories Vinnie was talking to Liu Xi about anyone else who's ever showed interest in him has wanted something from him, and that was going to be the example. I ended up leaving that out.
