    I don't think so.  I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the publicly-anonymous setup of the poll itself...

    You're right in that its accuracy will slowly decrease with time, hence it probably needs to be put to rest at some point and possibly recreated after it becomes too outdated...

    Sometimes a dominant allele will completely mask a more recessive allele, but it isn't always that simple:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allele#Multiple_alleles

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistasis

    Anyway... if the blue pigment is from a different gene than the red pigment, or if they are alleles of the same gene but with incomplete or co-dominance, they may both be expressed to some extent, I believe.

    I did make a Greasemonkey script to fix the invisible text editing problem.  If you have GM installed, clicking that link should install the script.

    Its code is: 

    // ==UserScript==
// @name        910CMX Rich Text Editor - Temporary White Text Fix
// @namespace   https://harjit-egs.tumblr.com/
// @include     *community.910cmx.com/*
// @version     1
// @grant       GM_addStyle
// ==/UserScript==

GM_addStyle("ul.ipsList_reset li p { color: inherit !important; }");

    No, I'm not kidding.  I'm more or less just knocking out a CSS rule.

    (Before anyone asks, GM for Firefox, GM for SeaMonkey).

    Because clone forms don't perfectly fix injury or disease, either. You could have a broken arm and use an Elliot clone form, but then you're just the spitting image of Elliot with a broken arm.

    At best, you'd have to successfully design a form specifically tailored to solve a specific problem, make sure it works properly without making things worse somehow, and make it permanent, which REALLY means you have to get it right.

    "Except that it uses object oriented programming methods that are condemned by certain religious leaders when used with things like this."

    Hmm, so "object oriented programming methods that are condemned": one of:

    • OOP techniques in general
    • Specific OOP techniques
    • OOP member functions
    • Specific OOP member functions

    You make a good point, @Drachefly.

    Tonight, tonight, what is this potion,
    that makes a fool of me?
    Tonight, tonight, I'm seeing stars,
    I'm blind with love tonight, tonight, we're Venus and Mars,

    Of course, maybe there's a middle ground here, keep Ellen's overall form the same, just give her the dangly man bits?

    Somehow, I'm not sure Dan is gonna cover "would Nanase be happy with copulating with Ellen with the latter as a virile futanari" in the present Q&A, or the predictable future...

    Thinking about it, there are two forms that jump out that the Uryuom OOP CMD regulations might take:

    • Retail of cosmetic-morph devices implementing an object-oriented programming model is prohibited.
    • Retail of cosmetic-morph devices either implementing an object-oriented programming model, or potentially allowing the implementation of an object-oriented programming model by means of any official or third-party module, library, compiler, transpiler, interpreter or other software which either exists or is possible to create, is prohibited.

    If it is the latter, that might explain why legal CMDs would be severely limited.

    I usually have the same gender identity that Dan states. It wobbles a bit. If it wobbles far enough in one direction, I get mild dysphoria - I've had that for a few hours total, and even that sucks, making me very glad I am not trans. I have no similar guide to how far it wobbles in the other direction, but I suspect my normal range is fairly symmetrical.

    Sexual (and romantic) orientation, though, I am very solidly - perhaps unusually solidly - gynophilic.

    Hot-wing sauce, medium-mild. (On most shops' 5-star scales I go for 2 stars.)

    Similar here I tend to find, on the first two points at any rate.  I tend to like fairly high capsaicin levels.

    Hmm, when I came to this thread, it opened up at the post, and the fact that there is a poll up above it was completely hidden.  I even started to write a reply asking why you didn't just do it as a Poll before remembering that had happened once before and scrolling up to check.

    Are poll answers anonymous in this system?

    a) Hmm.... I would edit the first post, but I am concerned that I might lose the poll data in the process.

    b] As far as I can tell.  Public voter names was an option whet I created the poll, which I didn't enable.  I figured that I'd get less bias with an anonymous survey.

    Edward's hair is blue, Ted's hair is purple, Nanase has red hair and her motther is purple red brown black inconsistent... (while double checking things for this i found a pic of her with black/brown and one with black/purple... and the rest of the pictures are from gray scale pages and are no help.  WTF?) Wiki says purple, so guess i'll go with that, and you get people purple when you add read red to blue, so it's logical to assume noriko's hair is either red or purple something dark. Whatever. specific color isn't as relevant as it being not blond.

    If the genetics of their world are anything like ours, hair colors more often mix than override one another creating dozens of shades. If noriko was their mother, or a parent in any way, they should have some darker tints to their hair. (susan's current hair color doesn't count. that's magic) they do not.

    While not imposible, a relation in spite of this contradiction is unlikely.

    ... is the suggestion that Tedd's purple is a codominance between a maternal red and paternal blue allele?

    palette -> chart

    • Make two copies of the original image, and remove everything but the lines from the one in front.
    • clean up as needed.
    • Turn the other layer into an overlay, and hide it.
    • make a third layer behind both, and use bucket fill to put solid color on the new layer using line layer as a guide.
    • use paintbrush/pen tools to fill in any distorted edges/corners.
    • Turn overlay back on, and fiddle with opacities of layers until desired effect is achieved, trying other modes besides overlay if needed.

    Alternately (In GIMP, YMMV):

    • 1 - Duplicate the layer, and set the one on top to value mode.
    • For each area:
      • 2 - Colour-pick the lighter (unshadowed) shade in the area in question, open the colour dialogue and note the value from the red slider (not the value slider as it is on a different scale than the one needed for step 5)
      • 3 - Select the lighter colour from the chart.  Again, open the colour dialogue and read/note the value - again not from the value slider but by turning saturation to zero, reading it off the red slider, and clicking cancel.
      • 4 - Lasso the area in question, including both shadowed and unshadowed parts, lassoing down the middle of black lines where possible.
      • 5 - Select the top layer, open Colours->Levels, type the value from step 2 in the rightmost box on the top slider and the value from step 3 in the rightmost box of the bottom slider.  Apply the adjustment.
      • 6 - Select the bottom layer and floodfill the entire selection (Shift-floodfill I think) with the colour.

    short version? one of the other users here seems to think they're his daughters via the assistance of uryuom (i never know if i'm spelling that right...) biology, in spite of the fact that that equates to introducing a rule for the sole purpose of circumventing it, among other problems, and seems to have equally debatable rationalization for EVERYTHING.

    as you may be able to guess from my word choice he and i don't get along, (partly because i hate egg theories in general, and this isn't his only one) so i'd rather not discuss it further.

    While I don't believe I'm really amongst those plugging egg theories at the moment, I should probably confess/mention that I'm the person responsible for originally proposing any sort of "egg theory" in the first place (that is, it didn't seem to have been previously mentioned in the collective memory of the forum crowd).

    This was only a very basic egg theory, just something like "it is possible to have seyunuluc with elf parents", if I recall correctly.  Beyond the simple implication (or possible speculation) that Susan was somehow a close descendant of Adrian, I am not responsible for any wild speculation that arose from it, and I'm not especially bothered as to whether it pans out to be the case.

    This was a long time ago; way, way before the crash (although after the strip itself, that was before I found EGS, I'm talking the Squirrel Prophet era I think).

    that equates to introducing a rule for the sole purpose of circumventing it

    I will try and reconstruct what was running through my mind:

    Dan was also introducing the dangling thread of the resemblance to Susan, even having Grace taking in-canon notice of this.  At the time, at any rate, the Susan thing seemed surprising somewhat (mere descendants of Adrian's mortal parents wouldn't bear much familial resemblance to Adrian by now), and introducing the resemblance thread solely to abandon that thread seemed odd, so I presumed it would be picked up at some point.

    I think what I was taking from it as significant information at the time was more the resemblance and less the infertility rule, possibly because the latter was called into question by Grace in the comic (Story 2012-01-17 or ID1380) itself as soon as it was introduced but nobody was calling the resemblance to Susan into question.

    On the other hand, I presumed the infertility rule was actually a rule until I remembered seyunuluc.  And realised that this gave a solution (not necessarily the most elegant, but a solution) to the apparent paradox.

    and seems to have equally debatable rationalization for EVERYTHING.

    ... and, of course, there is no reason to presume that an egg theory is correct.  Until/unless it starts being strongly hinted at in-comic, or is expressly jossed, it will remain a "wild theory".  Speculation can run as wild as an individual's headcanon, and only Dan can limit it, but need not be presumed canon until confirmed by Dan.

    (The predecessor to this thread was named "Wild Theories".  The present one bears a different name as it was re-created organically after the crash rather than as a deliberate resurrection.)

    The Trump ranting in particular is rare in the Wormverse, but in EGS it's going to apply to literally every Awakened, Immortal, and a few others. Anything that grants powers, changes powers, copies powers, or generally does anything to the powers themselves has a Trump rating.

    (emphasis added) ... was that deliberate?
