Is the response public?
Not counting leap seconds. It's also called "epoch time" or "unix time", because the first computers which actually needed to keep track of time were running Unix. Now it's used almost universally, because storing time fractured to months, days, hours, minutes etc suck and no serious program is using it outside speaking with humans. You can quickly convert it online on http://www.epochconverter.com/ for example.

Give USA chance first. They not only needs Will more, but (sanity of) president of USA is important for whole world. Denmark doesn't have nuclear weapons, right?

Given the mention that royalty have strong magic, it may not even be vestigial. The revolutionary ideas of equality may not really hold when the royalty ARE better.
Note that this is ANDREA fangirling, she might not be informed yet ... but yes, I still see it as polite acceptance of royal caprice.
"I'm blind!"
There is an additional problem with pronunciation: even if you know the correct world, you may say it as something different. At least if you mostly learned the language in written form.
Well ... that was sort of expected after her reaction to Elliot's change.
I see you missed few episodes of Star Trek. Namely, The Squire of Gothos, Where No Man Has Gone Before, Encounter at Farpoint, Hide and Q, Q Who, Deja Q, Qpid, True Q, Tapestry, All Good Things, The Survivors ...
Just because Scotty can't change the laws of physics doesn't mean noone can.
Not literally everywhere but are definitely very common.
Tara might've not really meant it seriously. Or she never cared.
Agree. Newton would totally see black hole as impossible. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic (Clarke) and any sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from technology (Girl Genius).
The really weird issue is the magic reset. Apparently, while "other" physical laws are solid, magic laws can change a lot.
 

I strongly doubt that. To me it seems much more likely that they are all built on the same foundation. Elliot's core traits consist of: honesty, empathy and protectiveness. Heidi, Mildred and Gothica would be just as likely to take a bullet for a friend as Elliot himself would be. After all, Elliot is a defender and the whole reason he got a superhero spell is because he dreamed of defending and protecting people.

Utahraptor is a different genus than Velociraptor. Additionally, Dromaesaurines (Deinonychus and Utahraptor, among others) are a different branch than Velociraptorines.
So, being a bit pedantic, there are no giant Velociraptors, Asian or no. The little guys were about the size of a German Shepard. Would come up just above the average human male's knee if it was standing normally. (Though including tail would be roughly 2m long). But if you were speaking of Utahraptor, then yes, those guys are "American" (for values of American that mean "fossils found in modern America" ). These guys were big, unlike Velociraptor. Standing normally they'd be taller than the average human, and including tail would be roughly 7m long. About the size of a Polar Bear. Another "American" raptor was Deinonychus, the closest thing we know of to Jurassic Park's Velociraptor in size.
I believe that all Velociraptors have been Asian, though, with the majority of them being found in Mongolia.
Additionally, Dromaesaurines, like Velociraptorines, were almost certainly feathered creatures. We have confirmation of such in Velociraptors, and strong strong evidence for the others in these groups.

Things like I'm only able to remember all the details of the message while using this means to contact you and I assume that's why suggests that he IS separate being having other life besides being magic emissary.

Oh, so this storyline is finally coming to an end? That's fine with me, because I mostly considered it fanservice and- HEY WAIT A MINUTE WHERE'S TEDD?! Dan said that Tedd would show up in this storyline at some point, so now would be the time for him to come home and confirm once and for all if this storyline takes place before the card games or not. I mean, it seems quite obvious that all of this is happening before the card games, but maybe that's the point - it's too obvious. Maybe Tedd will come home with his pixie cut and casually mention having been over at Justin's with his Dad and the Magic Analysis Wand to see if he'd been Awakened. Wouldn't that be a nice twist?
Also, did I seriously misunderstand something, or was Grace actually suggesting creating intersex forms?

I was always of the belief that the idea of there being negative effects to Ellen being turned into a male were meant more for the fact that she had just recently been brought into existence and barely had any identity that she could say was hers and not just working off Elliot's memories, and that after a year she's figured out who she is and therefore shouldn't have any negative reaction to trying out a male form for fun.
We actually can't know for sure because of the fact that it was Grace that told Tedd that it wouldn't be a good idea for Ellen to be zapped, for all we know it could have been Grace's plan to keep Ellen female so that she could hook up with Nanase. We know Grace had noticed how Nanase and Ellen acted around each other before her and Sarah overheard Nanase and Susan's discussion, an knowing Grace's relationship sense, she could have been acting to make sure that was possible though she might have figured that it'd be easier if just one of them was male and came up with an excuse to keep Ellen female.
As for a male zappy upgrade to Ellen's beam, It would make sense that to be able to get that, she would likely need to be zapped herself into a male form, which sounds a lot easier than what Elliot's attempts in trying to get non-female forms.

Made me think this: 

Well, Tara and Andrea were still off to the side sharing a moment when the rest decided to meet back at Charlotte's, so they didn't really have a chance to voice their concern and suggest an alternative until it was just Elliot left.
 
Also It did occur to me after my previous post that another possibility that Nanase's fairy doll spell didn't work was either because of Tara with that magic claw that would have dispelled Elliot's superhero form, or the Immortal causing interference to prevent outside magical intervention.

So ... Nanase, are you going to help ask questions or to help offend Elliot?
 

You know, the "search constantly for hidden updates" thing would explain how spellcasters of legend could be constantly reading in an economy where they couldn't afford a lot of books...

Waaait ... are they actually going to make form which makes woman look MORE feminine YET male? I think this will be worse than Tedd.

Good luck with recovery. There are definitely posts I would like preserved.
Meanwhile, can you get the option of editing the source back? I mean, write the posts in bbcode instead of WYSIWYG.

I'm not sure if prolonging this storyline with more forms is actually worth it ... but maybe it's just because I'm not interested in male forms the same way I'm interested in female ones
Also, maybe Dan will surprise with something ... like, another bit of general mechanism?
