The Awakened. Not only are they the least violent, but they stand for moderate Shaping control and creation freedom. Perfect for Nalyd. The other sects have their good points, but in the cases of Barzites and Takers, the bad outweigh the good.

Vegetarian! Woohoo!

This year was the year that we pass up the good Thanksgiving dinner on Nalyd's mother's side and the only slightly worse one on Nalyd's father's side, and instead go to the completely awful one for Nalyd's obscure relatives that live half the continent away. So it sucked.

Nalyd has a fairly large collection of webcomics/online graphic novels, and ravenously devours their updates. He is curious about any that other Spiderweb members like, and of course wants to promote his. Here they are, labeled for your convenience.

OOtS and Erfworld Of course.

Inverloch and The Phoenix Requiem Inverloch is finished, and The Phoenix Requiem is new.

Two Kinds

The Noob Comic Making fun of MMORPGs. Hurrah.

Bardsworth A bit childish.

Khaos Komix Sexual orientation centric. Not smut, but not child appropriate.

Brathalla The daily life of a pantheon.

True Magic Not too good.

Drow Tales It's about the drow. Not child appropriate.

Last Blood A nice, refreshing spin on the vampire.

Goblins: Life Through Their Eyes You know you wondered.

Untitled Comedy #34 Random. Not child appropriate.

Aether A little generic.

PC Weenies We can relate.

Post-Nuke A nice post-apoc.

Too Much Information Not child appropriate.

Comedity Rather random.

Home on the Strange

Geek Blather Not child appropriate.

Jack Really not child appropiate.

Who does Nalyd thinks will win? The Trakovites. Who does he think should win, of those who are still surviving? The Shapers.

Nalyd will not use the quotes.

Ghaldring does rule by being the strongest. If he ruled by violently being the strongest, then the other Drakons would temporarily unite and rip him apart. As it is, he rules tenuously by working not to offend any other Drakons too badly, by frantic political maneuvering to keep them occupied with each other, appealing to the Drakon sense of "honor" by saying, rightly so, that they owe him for bringin the Rebellion so far, and by creating an object of focus in Salassar. A very tenuous rule indeed.

The types of danger you refer to are different than that which the Drakons pose. Ascending to political and economic power is completely different than being on the verge of waging racial war. And, to be honest, you refer to stereotypes.

Glad you agree.

What would you see them as having done? Making hemp bracelets and drinking tea? No, intelligent beings that were previously enslaved would want revenge, at least on the Shapers. Also, the Shapers are not a race, nor are they all identical. They are a caste, and one that is growing increasingly varied.

That is the first time that that method has failed. The first, in many centuries of Shaper rule. When something becomes uncontrollable, kill it and everything related to it. Granted, when it fails, it fails spectacularly, but the Shapers couldn't know this. Their own emergence from Shaping had long since been buried in millennia of history.

Have you seen the number of Drakons in the Northforge areas? Have you seen the number and quality of Shaper troops around those same areas? Don't say the Drakons didn't have a chance, they had a very considerable one, and no less than they ever had. It was about as justifiable as launching the nukes because you lost a battle. The Drakons were hardly "crushed" in conventional warfare. They barely even fought.

The Drakons have more or less abandoned the human Rebellion the humans have to fend for themselves, and with quite a bit less resources than the Drakons, and seem to be doing quite well surviving.

You know exactly what he meant. Don't be an idiot. Keep the debate impersonal.

Tolerating the company of? KKK members can "tolerate the company of" blacks if they want to. And using them in battle isn't "tolerant".

This was a chance. He could have very well lost his rule if the PC hadn't come along and conveniently forced Salassar's hand.

No, the Drakons wouldn't care at all if all humans died today. They just don't have a reason to expend effort and make more enemies at the moment. If Drakons won? Human slaves. Maybe.

They could use their own two-ton fire-spewing selves. Nalyd doesn't accuse them for Shaping, but their is no necessity whatsoever for the Unbound.

But why are the Serviles of lower rank? Because they have less inborn fighting ability? They are more mentally stable? They are less violently radical? They are less bloodthirsty? Why?

Explain the elaborate artwork and sculpture in Khima-Uss. Hardly warfare-applicable, is it.

Not entirely, no, Shaper survival did not depend on their ability to Shape. It certainly didn't hurt, but beyond the first tumultuous war for supremacy, Shaping was not necessary.

Knowledge does not come without a price. If the Nazis had not engaged in such violent research, how many would have died due to lack of knowledge? The only reason that Shaping has not brought about untold benefits is that the research is insanely, horrifically, complicated. More or less like shooting radiation at chicken embryos to try and make them into cows. And most of this research is directed at warfare.

The desire to gain knowledge, perverse? Never. Never. Your prejudice towards happy ignorance is too blatant here. Nalyd will leave you to it, Eloi, and wait with the other Morlocks.

And that makes them better? The U.S. and Israel are hardly tolerable, let alone perfect.

That is, perhaps, overstating the issue, but Drakons, as a whole, are more irrational, prone to anger, greed, violence, and squabbling than humans. Are these desirable traits.

Not insane, but certainly not stable.

Brainwashing, not so much, backstabbing, so much and so blatant as to be natural. Hypocrisy, Nalyd's memory is failing him.

Millions, yes. Graphics take time and space, and the spaces between the zones almost always contain farms.

They posed a threat because they would soon become uncontrollable war machines.
