Re: Page 91

Necroposting FTW.

I still wonder about fireblades facial expression. Will we ever get a hint/explanation in the pages about that?

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

I guess considering how much damage a drunken Barsam could cause, we would have to assume that sobriety must be accepted as a Barsam virtue. ...so facing the imminent downfall of their economy due to alcohol-induced collateral damage they chose to become sober space preachers... ...amen^H^H^ahem^H^...

Re: Cultural shock/differences

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntrSnMPr2X4 I just watched this clip with Stephen Fry and it really got me thinking. How would the loroi react to the fact that one of the most common curses in our international language (if not the most common) is the same word we use for the act of mating? They´ll ...

Re: The Astronomy Thread

Kind of wonder how accurate the new calculated Formalhaut b orbit is. They somehow went from an 875-year orbit to a 2000-year one with the addition of just one more data point (which doesn't appear to deviate significantly from the previous three). Reminds me of us playing around with the new mount...

Re: two questions about the Loroi Military

Necroposting, YAY! But perhaps more to the point, a powerful Unsheathed can junk most armored vehicles. Does this work for incoming shells or warheads on plain sight, too? Or are these objects moving too fast, since in another thread you said: Fireblade can punch holes in armored vehicles (or anythi...

How densely packed are Loroi cities? Is there anything that can compare to modern American/Asian cities, much less future ones? I'd imagine, given their disposition towards personal space, cities would be more European. Shallow but spread out. I have a hard time imagining Loroi bumping into one ano...
