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!

It's whiskey by now...

Given that Batman's formative event was witnessing his parents being murdered, that makes a great deal of sense.

Remember also that publishers usually base their decisions not on the literary quality of your book, but rather on a marketing prediction of how many copies they believe they can sell. If their internal math tells them that they need to sell sixty thousand copies to make it worth their while, and they predict that yours will only sell fifty-five thousand, then they will reject it.

Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)
ijuin replied to The Old Hack's topic in Off Topic Discussion
I like that you presented a well-thought-out and to-the-point argument here, highlighting the specific things that Obama did wrong (the Means) as opposed to criticizing his political goals (the Ends). Inaction in terms of not making new laws can be good, meaning as you have said the maintenance of the status quo. Inaction on must-pass-or-government-shuts-down major appropriation bills however is bad news. The battles over what should be funded and by how much need to be fought during the budget approval process, not after the budget has been approved and major government services are facing being suspended due to their approved funding having not been appropriated. -
The biggest reaction at Moperville North, I think, will be "Eww, you mean that that hot Cheerleadra is actually a dude?!"

Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)
ijuin replied to The Old Hack's topic in Off Topic Discussion
fA great deal of politics has very little to do with the actual policies and legislation, and a lot more to do with "cui bono" (who benefits). The exact same bill will be more palatable if proposed by somebody whom they like than somebody whom they dislike. For example, a large portion of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was lifted nearly verbatim from a health care plan enacted under Mitt Romney in Massachusetts ("Romneycare"). However, supporters of Romney were more favorable toward Romneycare while disparaging the same aspects of Obamacare because of this basic political tendency toward judging the person over the content. -
It definitely seems like a separate spell from the "resizing" spell that her Mark granted--she's taking on proportions more appropriate to her new height as opposed to simply a scaled-up version of her regular self. This will help greatly in terms of "not attracting attention", since she will simply look like a tall girl instead of looking like an enlarged short girl. Dan said that scaling her up to be this tall would have meant a 75% increase in volume, so that means just over 20% increase in height, which would put a normally-five-feet-tall Rhoda just above six feet--tallish but not so tall as to be odd. Anyway, if this is a separate spell, then Rhoda had Awakened without Pandora realizing it--and the fact that Rhoda knows that she can do this means that she's cast this particular spell before, so her Awakening was not today.

Since nobody's yet posted about it in the forums, I'd like to direct everyone's attention to the Wotch Patreon page. Anne and Robin are going to commission an artist (for $$$) to draw the comic for them, since Ian and Andy are not presently able to do so. The more donations they get, the more pages per month they can afford, so please donate if you are able!

Created another human being? I thought that Elliot was still a virgin?

pinup Pinup: Saturday, November 5, 2016 (Tall Ashley Sequence)

A Quantonium-powered Ashley would be awesome. ...and now I think I wanna see Ashley as Ginormica. -

Or at the very least, she should get a spell catalyst (with battery, since the watches aren't going to work once the clog is resolved), with such a form in it. -

When I see you saying "shrink day", it brings to mind what Rhoda and Catalina are currently doing . . . -
Your imagination? I thought that you were a figment of my imagination!
-
No, but I do.

If Rhoda ends up taller than planned, yes. But even if she ends up "just over six feet tall" (which is not tall enough to draw stares just from the tallness if they don't know it's not her natural height), anybody who knows Rhoda might recognize her . . .
-
Simpler might be her trying to enlarge herself clothes and all (now that she "knows" that she can change the size of clothes with a person). Default Rhoda is only a hair away from five feet tall, so she could grow by 25% or so and still not be big enough to attract attention from strangers (making her 6'2" or 6'3" tall--just above Justin's height). Of course, this assumes that she is not recognized by anybody who knows her, and Murphy's Law says that she will be . . .

I was thinking along the lines of the mage in question merely noticing "hey, a scrying spell just passed over me, coming from that direction". It would probably require Tedd-o-vision to actually know any details of the spell beyond that. That said, the fact that Sarah's spell takes "big chomps" out of the surrounding ambient energy is probably more readily visible than the spell itself. Anyone who can detect the magical energy level and direction-of-flow in their location could notice if she cast it nearby, simply from the sudden drop in local energy (or flow of local energy towards the "hole" thus created).

Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)
ijuin replied to ProfessorTomoe's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Myelocites . . . those are the ones that produce the insulating myelin sheathes on nerve fibers? If there's a lot of those active, then it does sound like your body has decided that it needs to rebuild some nerves for some reason . . . -
I would think that those people with their magical guard up would also be able to sense the "ping" washing over them.

A few more dates in the changing room with Ashley will remedy that particular danger.

By comparison, given the extent of the small explosions created by forcibly dismissing Susan's fairy dolls, only a few dozen kilojoules at most are released. (one gram of TNT is equivalent to about 4.2 kilojoules)

Given that it looks like there's both a blonde with straight hair and a girl with permed hair standing near the guy with the wallet, I think it is both Diane and Lucy.
-
That's a distinct possibility--i.e. that casting it is like a huge beacon that could be detected for miles around by anybody able to notice such things, which means that Sarah's body is vulnerable while she is in the mindspace, having just set off a huge "Here I Am" flare.

Well, the idea of using the negative mass was to force all of the curvature to be compressed right near the boundary, while most of the interior space (where our shrunken person is located) and the exterior space (where the rest of the universe is located) remain flat enough to be otherwise undamaged. Thus, objects at arbitrary distance away will not be attracted or repelled, but will undergo the requisite distortion if forced right against/through the barrier (e.g. exchange of air between inside and outside).

More proof of human insanity--we keep miniature tigers in our homes and think that they are the cutest little fuzzy-wuzzy adorable things ever, yes they are! *Ahem* So, who's the baddest predator on the planet now, eh? We is!
