Forgath just got a diagonal cut over his left eye. For gods sake, Thunt.WHAT WAS THAT YOU HEATHENS SAID ABOUT NO KOREGATH
The first thing means nothing as I don't know who that is, Anyone could have done that, Not really, that last one is completely true.The hell is Sen?
Think it's safe to say Yuri's a candidate for the party Badass.Why?
Eh, I don't like throwing away good sigs.But they'll still reply to someone who said something cool with "Sigged!", as if it means something.I've never followed a link to see someone's sig. It's basically a second OOC quotes thread then rather than a sig.Nobody ever follows a "sigtext thread" link. It's pretty much the anti-thesis of actual sigging - putting a quote there makes sure nobody will ever actually read it instead of letting people see it in your every post.
((Did I? I think I was just running away at that point.))((Oh. I kinda forgot about you, and I don't IC know you have an amp.))((You saw me use it 3x forming heat shields during Ice-9))
Try and slowly heat up the heart with my amp.((Waitwaitwait not yet. We gotta talk with it first.))
And I just found out its John W. Campbell's fault that HFY exists.It's not all about that. One of the better ideas is "what traits do humans have that might be overpowered or rare compared to the universal norms of sapient life"? Since we don't have any way of knowing that it's all speculation, but there is most likely something exceptional about humanity.Problem is is that all the HFY stuff then fails to give the aliens any advantages over the humans whatsoever. It's like having Game of Thrones where everyone but the Lannisters are dumb as Ned Stark, it's inherently dissatisfying because there's no challenge for the victors.
