    Didn’t Scott Adams also go a little off reservation?

    Oh, yeah, could you use Amazon Mechanical Turk to do some A/B testing for your sales materials?

    Ramses ends up in bed with one of the pantheon he worshiped.[/quote]
    Or was he a demon merc?

    If Bess has collected both Ramses and Exador, her pantheon must be planning a particularly unpleasant payback, especially if she’s willing to take the risk of being charged under the Concords.

    Go with pith. You want to hook a browser.

    The Demon Prince has Machiavellian undertones, and I like it.

    … vision of the Inferno? That way you don’t repeat “hell” in the same paragraph.

    Since you meant to transition to a different perspective, and not describe another character as an omniscient narrator, you might give a hint that “To her…” or something like that?

    You said that migrating the existing forums would be the most painful part of a forum software change?

    Most of these forum web apps have fairly straightforward “thread” and “comment” tables which can be read and written with with a simple Python SQLAlchemy script. I can volunteer to do that, but can’t guarantee that the password hash methods any two web applications use will be identical. Forcing people to change passwords through a “forgot” link should be easy, though.

    So, I thought I’d just bring this up: Europe welcomes educated, professional immigrants, especially culturally compatible ones.

    Here, you can experience something completely different, and still go home every evening to the same level of comfort and stability you’ve come to expect.

    You can have your pick of climates, cultures and cuisines.

    If you’re not great with languages, pick a country where the natives all speak English, and expect to speak it in the workplace, even if the native language might take some time to pick up.

    Your kids will pick it up in a flash in any case, even with the high-quality European educational system there to challenge them.

    Legalizing coke might just do it.

    Speaking of which, I suppose domestically California’s pot legalization has been completely eclipsed?

    This thread’s topic was originally EM.

    Was killing Orcus merely a ploy to put EM in the Rod’s hands, where it could be linked to Tiernon, and affect his whole network? Maybe even the whole pantheon? Maybe even the links to the god pools?

    Am I correct in assuming that it was Arch-Vicar General Exador who changed the name of the Shield of Tiernon on Astlan to the Rod of Tiernon on Astlan, in order to make their title into, as Trisfelt points out in book 1, “Rod Member”, to turn the clergy of Tiernon on Astlan into a dick joke?

    For the love of small cute dogs, just don’t let Trump win. I have a feeling that EM is just a butter knife he picked up once for a schmear.
