Well, he has stated more than once that they are, in fact, placeholders, and he's been too busy/lazy/forgetful to update the panels in question. It's a bit down in the minutiae now that we have months to years between actual new content. I'd rather he focus his energies on that than revising somethi...

Arioch, this may have been asked before (maybe even by me, sorry), but having gone through some Insider information again: What exactly *is* the "Well of Souls" stellar remnant? What does that mean? I expect it's not a black hole or a neutron star/pulsar (else you would have called it that). How did...

Like the Historians?

full time of his spare time. The full time job remains. Unlike with the 6-Commando author. WE ARE PAYING HIM. Via Patreon. Like the 6-Commando author. He has a job alongside the webcomic. Unlike the 6-Commando author, he is unable to deliver.. ..and Mathieu Moyen, the author of 6-Commando, is only ...

Seriously people, if you want a Beryl/Talon (or Fireblade)/Alex ménage à trois, write some fan fiction with drawings. I'm with ShadowDragon on this one. Plus, I thought Arioch said he wasn't heading things in that direction anyway (though a lot can change in 15 years!!!). If Arioch can catch a break...

Got anything in the WIP pipeline to tease us with, Arioch? I hope you're doing OK. You weren't in any of the hurricane-affected areas, were you?

I don't have anything substantive to add to this discussion (heck, I've not really been reading it), but I wanted to say that whenever I see this topic in the discussion list, I think it says "Glockenspiel"!

CJSF

Oh, the Listel-on-duty will remember you. And I presume, she will be rotated rather quickly off the ship, so that hher tactical knowledge of how her ships survived can be passed in the academies.... So, with that many eidetic persons around you, you will be remembered in the living archives... Bein...

I thought the sensation Alex was getting was telekinetic rather than telepathic?

Thanks, Arioch.

Not that this it isn't necessarily FASCINATING, but can we take the firearms discussion to another thread?

I've been having trouble finding information on the Loroi worlds. For example, what the gravity and atmosphere are like on Deinar. Do you mean the sort of information in the link below, or were you looking for something more like data tables or "fact sheets"? http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/loroi...

Except that in the context of the comic, the stray fleet IS "the Stray's" fleet. What other fleet would she possibly be referring to? Regarding the earlier comment and observation: why are they speaking aloud? Even allowing for Alex's presence, "sanzaiing" should be as automatic as speaking is for u...

OK, maybe I meant wouldn't the other players know what the "cheater" was thinking, or is it the case with sanzai that if you're not "talking" no one "hears" you?

How could they not know, unless that player is using lotai, in which case everyone would be suspicious of them anyway?

No idea if anyone made this assumption yet, but I'm getting the feeling that the Historians are playing both sides of this conflict. i've been thinking this since #60, panel 3 http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider060.html I've had that feeling, overall, too; what in that particular panel seems...

Yeah. I mean there's a huge and important psychological difference between, "Let me escort you to some quarters. They may be a bit spartan, but we can try to get you at least a desk, chair, and a cot. We'll check in from time to time, but we'll need to keep you under protection until we get to safer...

We, on this side of the fourth wall, just have to trust that although nothing can stop the Loroi from stamping out humanity, as a thinking, complex civilization, such an action would be seen as morally abhorrent in this case. As others have said, previous terrible actions were horrible "last resorts...

I think in the Loroi perspective, Alex is too "feminine" for most females to be attracted to. Arioch has explained that pair-bonding and attraction for Loroi doesn't follow human norms anyway, but even if there were to be such a thing, he's decidedly not "masculine" from a Loroi point of view. CJSF ...

Secondly, break in continuity? Tempo sort of handed off Alex to Talon for her to give him access to the starmaps (see pg. 111), and now it requires Beryl to access them? Either it is a plot hole or another sort of a demonstration on Beryl's side giving Talon a signal to back off and not intrude on ...
