    The Society members’ – and Trevin’s – reaction to Edwyrd’s new robes should give Jenn food for thought.

    Well, I’d rather have Funny Kevin Smith as my father, than Pretty Boy Kevin Smith.

    We’re not paying enough attention to Tom’s father’s little “laboratory accident.”

    You know, there’s a pretty funny character in the picture already, a hidden god with the potential for an infinite following.

    A stupid idea: the Knights Magi of the El Ohîm would be a great crossover collaboration opportunity with John Van Stry’s Portals of Infinity series, since his hero is leveling up enough to become the first avatar of El Ohîm, having killed a negative plane god.

    You microsofties seem to assume that things are case insensitive…

    Who amongst us hasn’t sketched a zombie-proof compound after being frustrated by a zombie film?

    My favourite parts of that thought experiments were the agility tracks with thigh-high maze walls which humans can walk or run on, but which slow down zombies considerably, and the mechanical crushing sieve.

    If you don’t want to take a considerable risk per destroyed zombie, you have to do the job at an arm’s length.

    Fire and guns need too many resources per destroyed zombie, and axing them, even from a rampart, always poses a risk, of losing and having to retrieve your ax-head, if nothing else.

    Enter the crushing sieve. You use the zombies’ own inexplicable capability to produce kinetic energy from seemingly nowhere, numbers, and a sound- or smell-based dummy bait, to press large crowds of zombies through a V-shaped stone or concrete formation.

    The pressure of the zombies in the back forces the zombies in the front mechanically through a grinder of small openings. Zombies in, ground zombie flank out.

    “Vargg was shaking our head. “I think the real problem is that these groups [b]that[/b] try to force some sort of huge narrative on everything. Every conflict must be a battle between the so called ‘good’ and the so called ‘evil.’”

    Remove the second “that”.

    “It’s not just a territorial or trade [b]dispute, no it’s[/b] an ultimate battle for the survival of their way of life!””

    I seem to recall this discussion. 😉

    “Further, his tent-mates, who had also been recovering from wounds, they had devoted healing resources and spells to the non-possessed wounded first, had all been completely healed and all signs of possession gone.”

    Further, his tent-mates, who had also been recovering from wounds – they had devoted healing resources and spells to the non-possessed wounded first – had all been completely healed and all signs of possession were now gone.

    “Subsequently two mounts a mule and their gear had simply vanished from the stockade.”

    Subsequently, two mounts, a mule and their gear had simply vanished from the stockade.

    The whole paragraph could use some serious simplification.

    But let me tell you: it was a terrible decision to build a prototype on an Android development platform with tight time constraints, instead of either of the Linux solutions I mentioned earlier.

    We spent most of our time trying to get the Android BLE libraries to work as intended, as the Android devkit manufacturers hadn’t deigned to send any samples beforehand.

    It made me grateful to normally work on service architecture and server software, at least here we have pretty sane and stable platforms to build on.
