Welcome! 03/05/2016
Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change. If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away. I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

Hmm… what kind of editor do we have here?
BBCode bold, HTML bold, **Markdown bold**. Which work(s)?
Edit: opening the editor, seems it's converted the BBCode tags to HTML, but still uses BBCode style paragraphs (no p-tags). -

In Latin, it would be somewhere between Skee-yur-i-dye and S'chee-yur-i-day, depending on whom you ask.

Might Sam's transdar (perception of Tedd) be a marked ability?

Only tangentially on topic, but http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook.php?id=757 is a nifty case of Boing! having an ID of 757, which has nothing to do with aviation (it does, in fact, fall between 756 and 758).

"While it is clear that the First Emperor gathered and destroyed many works which he regarded as subversive, two copies of each were to be preserved in imperial libraries, which were destroyed in the fighting following the fall of the dynasty."

Jinkies!

Unless, that is, Elliot and Ashley happen to have different enough mitochondrial DNA to distinguish them, and it this is actually ever tested (which seems unlikely).

On that note:
(I had that already extracted.)
As for requests, I might consider them when/if I find the time, but that isn't a guarantee or commitment.

Has Pandora been effectively flooding Tedd's cell with royal jelly?

Edward Veres has done some things wrong in the process of raising Tedd. But I still would not call him a bad parent
Speaking of good or bad parents, https://m.reddit.com/r/raisedbynarcissists/ might just lose you your faith in humanity.
Back (more) on topic, while not perfect, Ed Verres has not shown himself to be nearly as bad as it might get (he did relent on the TF Gun and Grace after realising just how much they meant to Tedd, after all). And thanks to Noriko, he's been having to work it out on his own for much of it, something which I do not envy.

Similarly, mirroring/flipping a person may pose major issues unless you have a decent supply of L-glucose, to say nothing of chiral amino acids.

Within the bounds of just retribution, yes. What "ethical" means in this case I will not attempt to go into.

Indeed. Different peoples' hairs grow to different lengths before the individual hairs are shed from the follicles in favour of growing new ones. Although in practice, a lot of people have it cut to less than maximal length.

7 hours ago, WR...S said:Commentary spoiler (...apparently no boxes anymore?):
Confirmed that Rhoda can shrink people/things, and isn't (necessarily) just growing her clothes in Grace's vision. So after fourteen years, it looks like we may be about to see canon shrinking...
Include stuff as [spoiler]Like this.[/spoiler] to give you
Like this.
- even in the (otherwise) WYSIWYG.
(I've used some source-view trickery so hopefully the first one should show up verbatim and the second changed into a spoiler box.)

Strangely relevant: http://www.fukufics.com/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=6992&start=15#p419163 (and also the later post further down the page)
I never thought there would be such a relevant place to post that link.

QuoteI don’t recall off the top of my head where all it’s been mentioned (or if it’s just been heavily implied), but Adrian Raven was chosen as Tedd’s godfather before his falling out with Tedd’s dad. As an unintended consequence, Pandora considers Tedd to be family.

1 hour ago, Zorua said:Third-person narration? NO. You cannot. It is forbidden. A third-person narrator is not a character in the story. Their narration should obey grammar, spelling, and punctuation as much as possible. This may also apply to second-person narration.
(that said, unreliable narrators might get away with it. unusual word choice to suggest that the second-/third-person narrator might be a character after all...)

More "annoying" (edit: rather than "minor anger") now I've calmed down a bit:
Important headsup to those using SeaMonkey or Thunderbird with multiple gMail or gApps accounts:
The send-from-account selector selects the mailbox profile, not the SMTP profile. I did not realise this (though it figures, the friendly name etc being associated with the mailbox profile).
Why is this important to note? Well…
Mailbox profiles which have not been configured otherwise send using the default SMTP profile, and
Google SMTP changes the From-field address in the delivered email to match the SMTP login (leaving the friendly name as is), presumably to prevent their service from being abused for address spoofing. This does not affect sentbox filing.
The effects are as follows:- The e-mail appears in the sentbox of the account you told Mozilla to send it from, as being sent from that account.
- Invisibly to you (unless you send or CC to your own account), the email arrives to the recipient with your default e-mail address on it (not the one you selected), but with the friendly name (if different) of the selected account transposed onto it.
I'm sure you can work out why this might not be ideal in some cases. -

Also could have been going to say "family", but mother makes more sense.
Or "parents".

QuoteIntentionally breaking immortal law results in what Pandora described. Immortals aren't constantly getting filled in on what others are doing.
Your later replies ask about what mechanism, etc. It's triggered by immortals deliberately doing something. Trying to explain the exact mechanics beyond that would be like trying to explain the exact mexhanics of how they're having this conversation in Grace's mind, or how Cheerleadra can fly, or how transformations are possible, etc.
Also, because I didn't post it here earlier, the already-seen:

If Magic chose to change how it worked, how widespread would the change be? Would the Griffins' world be affected? Would other universes?danshive:
Only this half has to be worried. The Griffin’s half has magic way, way, WAY out in the open. Their magic is less hipster and more honey badger.

Wait…
Could Pandora rationalise that re-empowering the other side by clearing the clog is empowering, and that the necessary double effect of disempowering Moperville counts as part of said re-empowering?
