Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
Chapter 11, part 2 He wasn’t surprised to find it inside one of the smaller openings of the asteroid field, an opening that was littered with numerous small asteroids that just floated around, forming a small cloud of shorts that was caught between the feint gravity fields of the bigger ones around...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Ah, that explains Beryl... She's humourous, doesn't say no to unfair bets, and lost most of her hair with not much of a shrug.
Everyone knows why her hair is short, and gives her no hard time for it, and she enjoys the simplicity and advantage of having a short haircut.
Clever girl....!

Re: Did Russia win WWII?
What Germany needed from Russia were grain/food and raw-materials (oil and rubber). No engineering needed at al.... But Germany needed the supplies, otherwise the war would have ended after a few months due to lack of rubber. Most of what Stalin delivered was in theend what enabled Nazi Germany to a...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
To me it sounded like a long standing bet, so Alex is out of the loop as a bet, but spoil-of-wars may not be, and Alex could be considered to be that. But then he is on the flagship of this group, and it would be weird to have him on a different ship in the brigg....

Re: Did Russia win WWII?
And while the Germans got stuff they needed right now, and had the industrial machinery to use, the Russians got machines, they had to install first, get to know, calibrate, and start using. On top of that, the Germans delayed their deliveries, while the Russians remained timely (in fear of giving t...

Re: Did Russia win WWII?
Don't forget the reason for the war of Hitler against the East: Hitler perceived Germans as people without land. He wanted to gain the empty lands in the east to expand. The western nations made it clear they would not tolerate Hitler grabbing more and more land in the east. So he felt he was forced...

Oh, I was just speculating to bring the topic closer to what it should be.

The data shared is video and audio only, and that must be according to a standardized protocol. Self-p...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
Ouch. But honestly, from my point of view, this is so extremely umlikely to happen.... Something like this can be dismissed as possible. Your story just lost much of its allure to me. Software cannot alter itself to run better om other system architectures if it's not running yet. There are so extre...

Also depending on regional differences, different regions could've been on different tech levels.
Like modern Earth has different tech levels if you look at different countries.
Or even regions within one nation....

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Just simple extrapolation... :p (The cover of Chapter 2 was posted on 1 August 2011... - do your own calculation, even if this chapter is close to be finished, that took 4 years for this chapter alone, and we have 5 more to go, plus epilogue.) Not that happy about it either, so I hope Arioch is olde...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
I like the image very much.
It makes Beryl look like having discovered the film library of the Bellarmine, and being curious and having wakened her romantic side by chick-flick binging, she wants to make "it" happen by surprising Alex....
I found the pic and thought why wait for April 1st?

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
But if it ever came into the maincomic, I would have a problem with it. I love Outsider because it is soooo close to massive fanservice happening, yet always goes into another direction. I know at least two artists who would try to make money from providing a "side story" comic with "fanservice". It...

@Grayhome: it is good that you fight against forgetting previous crimes. Thank you. But the slave mentality always existed and still exists in Africa. It existed before we whities came and rediscovered Africa. Those who wanted to get rich saw an opportunity. And when someone opposed them, they looke...

That were my discussions with my religion teacher... :p Those discussions came long before the discussions with my history teacher. But it did not go unremarked by my friends that I seemed to have turned 180° (from against bible to pro-belief). I never had problems conciliating these two things, as ...

The doctrine that blacks aren't human, which was used to justify slavery? You won't find this in the Bible, and by the time of the Civil War you wouldn't find this in Northern churches, either.
