Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

The real question would be: how many Loroi practice dance at all? Collaboration is good and all, but it’s a physical skill.

I’m really enjoying this arc, thank you. A little child no taller than Twoface’s waist ran naked from another bath with a soap bar in her mouth and Icespear chasing after her. “Really?!” Icespear yelled after the little human. “You won’t clean your teeth, but you’ll chew on a bar of soap?!” Hahahaha...

Re: page 196: Crossfire

Err, let’s keep in mind that it’s a modern skin on a classic game,l. You don’t see people arguing that a real knight can ride in a straight bloody line . Also, game design is hard. There are lots of objectives (eg coherent theme, balance between strategies, fairness between players) and constraints ...

Possibly this should be in the Terran tech thread :-), but for those interested in rockets, Ignition!: An informal history of liquid rocket propellants is a surprisingly fun read.

Re: Page 189: GO AWAY!

Yes, I had been wondering about that. If we wildly speculate that the Loroi and human mind are quite similar (because that one damned class of Soia Liron bioengineering students decided to whip up quick copies of some existing sentiments and bog off early for the holidays) then humans may indeed hav...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)

Good point. And even if the flames aren’t nearby, the smoke goes a long long way. And messes with your lungs etc. at the same time as there’s a pandemic on. Which also makes the logistics of controlling the fires harder. The really disturbing thing is that there might be a trend for the fire seasons...
