  Lushe = Luce = Light Schneider?
Posted by: classicdrogn - 08-08-2011, 02:30 PM - Forum: Other People's Fanfiction - Replies (9)

Given how his nickname "Darshu" is constructed from "Dark Schneider" it seems a valid hypothesis, and would explain away the inconveinient fact that by releasing him from his sealed form, it's wiping out the cute little kid with the big-sister-little-brother relationship if he was always the same person with suppressed memories, rather than some unlucky nwborn chosen to contain an otherwise unstoppable evil.

That's probably the way it was intended to be all along, but it didn't seem obvious until the name thing hit me just now.

Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 08-07-2011, 08:32 PM - Forum: Drunkard's Walk XIII: Glory Hound - No Replies

I met my old lover
On the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me
I just smiled
And we talked about some old times
And we drank ourselves some beers
Still crazy after all these years
Oh, still crazy after all these years
I'm not the kind of man
Who tends to socialize
I seem to lean on
Old familiar ways
And I ain't no fool for love songs
That whisper in my ears
Still crazy after all these years
Oh, still crazy after all these years
Four in the morning
Crapped out, yawning
Longing my life away
I'll never worry
Why should I?
It's all gonna fade
Now I sit by my window
And I watch the cars
I fear I'll do some damage
One fine day
But I would not be convicted
By a jury of my peers
Still crazy after all these years
Oh, still crazy
Still crazy
Still crazy after all these years

Anyone else playing this? I am currently loving the hell out of it.
Had an epic encounter today where an out of ammo su-5 ( dinky low level russian mortar spg) managed to cause a t95s death ( end-game super heavy tank destroyer) when he rammed the side of it persistently preventing it from turning around.
Then the remainder of our whole team managed to use that to shoot the helpless t95 in the ass until he rage quit.
Some pics to give you a sense of scale:

  University of Ottawa--some assumptions. If invalid, please let me know
Posted by: New Hampshire Battleship Lover - 08-06-2011, 02:47 AM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (4)

University of Ottawa -- assumptions

I'm planning on having my protagonist be a graduate of the University of Ottawa, where she studied Handwavium at a doctoral level. I'm making some assumptions about the University, in case anyone else sets any scenes there as well. If the assumptions are contradictory to Fenspace overall, please say something and I'll adjust.

  1. The University is actively researching the Handwavium phenomenon -- someone has to, and the University is a major research institution.
  2. Rather than attempt to ban any waved vehicles, they prohibit any motorized flying craft around the campus. Thus, there are a few bicycles flying around -- probably quite a few. (Saoirse will be the one that introduced the ‘waved windsurfer -- with mixed results.)
  3. These waved vehicles are only allowed to fly on campus.
  4. Waved motor vehicles are allowed, with the appropriate government lisences, but can only fly on campus in designated areas.

Canada allows ‘waved vehicles in some circumstances, with paperwork -- and licensed for "Only on campus" isn't as tough to get as a normal license. I'm thinking that the government may even have authorized the school itself to allow Handwavium modified gear at its discretion.

Since I may set a story or part of one there, I wanted to insure that this works -- and also set a consistent background for that school.

It's study and permissive attitude with regard to Handwavium has distanced it from some American universities, but has its own compensations.
I'll be away from the net for a while after today, but will read the responces when I have net access agaion.

  Possible crossover
Posted by: darkreader - 08-05-2011, 08:36 PM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (6)

I was thinking of writing a crossover with the Pokegirls universe. You can find information about it here: Pokegirls, www.pokegirl.org/, http://www.angelfire.com/mn3/pokegirls/main.html. Basically it is a post-apocalyptic setting where a mad scientist has replaced most animal life with geneneticly engineerd sex obsessed monster girls.The treatment of them varies in every league(country) from nearly human to less then tools.I was wondering how the factions of Fenspace would react to such a place?

  Unlimited Networks

(No, this has nothing to do with Fate/Stay Night...)

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/vi ... eakthrough]Steve Perlman claims to have broken Shannon's Law limiting the speed at which data that can be transmitted wirelessly. And he has some patents to back up his claim.

I'm curious as to whether this is really unlimited (except by the speed of light, of course), or whether this is "internet unlimited" - limited but you'll never reach the limit in "normal" use.
