I hadn't posted in a while, so I posted. I then left a post regarding what my NEXT post might be like, WHEN I do it. Of course I wasn't planning on doing two posts in a row, and probably nothing close to it. For one thing Barnard has only just now come up with his plan, and now he has to work out th...

Tacking requires a keel that pushes against the massive and comparatively motionless water. In this case one would have to use something that would cut through the soil (or at least one wheel riding on the surface), which would create enough drag and vibration that the entire purpose of levitation i...

Ok, I think I had better explain what I am up to so people will have a chance to stop me if I am going to be taking this in a bad direction. Basically Barnard is drawing on his recent experience with Adam, he is working up a line of monologue that includes as little interesting or useful information...

Barnard has been doing some quick thinking, and it initially looked like he was going to just jump in and start babbling. "Good sir. If you would be so good as to give a scant witted man a chance to gather his wits I beleive I might have a quote or two for you.", this not only not said rapid fire, i...

Actually a plague would, IMHO, tend to teach exactly the opposite of what you propose. I will just point out that plagues require sanitation(especially with burials), quarentine, medical research, the massive practice of medicine, etc. All of which are things that can be well performed in a highly o...

I just want to point out that I commented in one of the other announcement threads extensively on what I though the design criterion for adding an MLRS or similar to the catalog would be.

Maybe that much smug self-satisfaction temporary negated his "palidin-hood" (which is about what the white forelock boils down to, although none of his skills and abilities are the direct result of it)?

Well, I beleive I was assuming you were on pain medications, I was, if I remember correctly, trying for a synergistic effect.

<Snip>...I'm in enough pain to chew off the whole foot atm - which would be less painful i'd be willing to bet) I doubt this, but if you feel you MUST make a start of an empiricle test of this, just to convince yourself in a viceral way, then I would recommend lots of tooth brushing and mouthwashs ...

Nice work, see the length of my suggestion below to see how excited this makes me. But first a few curiousity questions: I assume the selection may grow somewhat? To what extent does he use friction fits and to what degree does he use wood glue? The following is based on a relatively limited knowled...

I am confident that we shall all await your post with baited breath... But wait a second...: Chicken Gibblets? Helligrannies(sp)? Meal worms? Nightcrawlers? Crickets? Gummi Worms (tm)? TicTacs (tm)? Mentos(tm)? Dentine Ice (tm)? (always especially good against fish with an elemental weakness against...

Well, I thought Astral would have to post next, after getting ideas of how things would go from other people, or just working closely with them. It is going to be a 5 way conversation or something and either Astral, Ralph, or someone with actual knowledge of how to do reporting should probably handl...

It couldn't hurt. I don't know exactly how you were thinking of doing it, but I will oppine that a heirarchical rather than sequencial approach seems the best. In other words, keep what you have and have other stuff as subdivisions of your existing divisions. BTW, I would title the very first such d...

P.S. Glad to hear that your Dad gets to keep working here on earth, rather than retiring to his mansion just yet... I mean I am sure he was feeling a bit of a let down about it (actually, if he is like most Christians, probably not, not that I blame them).

Has he been ordained an online priest and been vested with the power to give a weekly sermon to the faithful in a chat room? Well with the possible exception of the 'ordained' part I do happen to know someone who has done exactly that. I think The J.A.M. knows him too. He goes by 'Oren Otter'. In o...

Question for Ralph and Astral. Not that I think it will come up, but what is the status of the Rac Conan Daimh/Gragum discussion at this point? Are the leaders worried that they might ally themselves with the humans? Are they worried about spies inflitrating as Gragum to scout the border defenses?

Heh... let's see those soothscribes try to talk to Adam... his nickname could also be "Ol' Stoneface" when it comes to reporters... Now, Barnard on the other hand... as long as they can write fast enough or have the lux equivalent of tape recorders* they could get LOTS out of him, and a lot of it t...

The following is off the top of my head and despite how it is worded is really more of a question/suggestion than a protest or anything like that: Well, I would think that the strategy planning session would be something that whoever happens to be around could contribute to. I mean I know we could j...

"Thanks." and then after a pause in a lower voice than he had used even in discussing security precautions, too low he hoped for anyone else in the party to hear,"... but, if you will excuse my asking, what should I expect of you in your ability to receive information from the others and especially ...

The line that gets me as an interesting 'error' is "Never forget why you are a Questor." Note the words "why you are". I think it either an extremely minor error on Ralph's part, a very reasonable error for Ralph to have the fictional village questor of way back to make, or a subtly manipulative pei...
