Four phases.

One-two-three-fucking-four phases.

Also, mods should be doing more of this custom title shit to maintain the funny. I don't mind the , but it reflects poorly on the forums.

This is what I can do with a human arm and hand:

1. Throw a pen in the air and catch it
2. Lift fifty pounds
3. Gently manipulate objects as small as a single grain of rice
4. Move underwater
5. Sense temperature differences and estimate temperatures
6. Tell the difference between textured objects
7. Apply tremendous grasping pressure or a feather-touch
8. Sense and instantly react to various pain stimuli
9. Finely guide a paintbrush
10. Self-repair (within reasonable limits)
11. Estimate the weight of an object
12. Describe the density or makeup of an object
13. Snap my fingers
14. Operate (comfortably) in temperatures from 30F to 120F (for shorter periods of time in even higher or lower temperatures without serious problems)

There's some amazing technology out there, but it still has a long way to go, even the stuff that's cutting edge.

How are you going to protect yourself when you first get to the island before you get all dragonfied? I don't think you guys have as much combat experience as mercenaries/soldiers

What do they need an island for, anyway? Why doesn't Taygon just go into his basement and whip up a 'cybernetic' dragon body using his special engineering powers?

WEEK 4 - RETIRED


And with a few people in our community getting concerned about the drastic increase in registrations and activity here, I've been asked to temporarily suspend registering. I agree that this is reasonable.

For the next 24-hours, the following are in effect:

*


* moratorium on creating new accounts
* guests are blocked from viewing the forums


We will not be turned into a laughingstock.

It is not uranium that is so highly gaurded.
There is a radioative isotope of Lithium, used to accelerate the nuclear processes within bombs. Which is regulated down to an extremely micro scale. Since it is used in all sorts of other processes as well, to include the containing agent for deuterium.
However, very pointless to really continue on that argument.

Anywho. What is up everyone?
I look around and all I see is the same pointless argument.

Idiots, say, "your crazy"

Fedcom, says, "nope"

Do the forums still do that thing where unregistered can only check a limited number of threads/pages per hour until it directs them to the Register page? I'm sure that when that happens to one of them they'll be all "Hah! They locked down their forums too! Truly, we dragons are a force to be reckoned with!"

Awwh no. He bottled it because their forum had more than 20 people on it.

I feel sorry for Taygon. His Aspergers is just so obvious and he's so passive aggressive. I seriously wish all the best for Tanya though, her fetish may be odd.. but she had the back bone to call Taygon out on some of his bullshit. She comes across as sane enough, I really hope she leaves behind this fruity little club.

God damn it, where are my ant keys?! I'm gonna miss my flight!

Just in case questions are still being viewed and answered, I've seen the topic of "Dragon Morality," "Dragon Tactics" and "Dragon Honor," etc... come up repeatedly in in our views of your forums. I have to ask...

A: How do you understand the apparently alien ideals of a species that has never been shown to exist, and by all probability never will? And even if they did, how would you, as a human, be able to comprehend them, when the gist of what I'm getting when it's brought up is that Humans wouldn't be able to understand Dragon X and Dragon Y?

B: If at best all you'll accomplish is putting a Human brain in a Robot body, how has anything about you changed except in the physical? What would be the difference between you and somebody that crawled inside of a tank, bolted it shut and insisted to everybody that he IS, in fact, the tank?

C: Why do so many of your planning ideas and names come from vidyagames?

well I don't see myself as superior in any way, and in some ways inferior, hell, it takes some freaky poo poo for me to get off, but that doesn't mean I can't strive for something better. I have a stable life outside of this, but it's getting me /nowhere/ I want to be somebody, go somewhere, do something, and even if I never do, it was fun trying.

that's all many of us here are doing, we're just trying, and we know enough to keep our own lives stable outside of it. If fedcom just blinked out of existance right now, our friendships would carry on, our lives would continue, we'd live to a ripe old age and then die, shadows, cogs in the machine.

I know I'm lower-class-gutter-crawling scum and I can admit that, but I want to be something better, and honestly, isn't that what anyone would want? this is what we choose to believe in, and when you came in with a negative attitude it just was a punch in the gut you basically said "you see that dream of yours? it's poo poo! stop trying to be happy and go be a good little minion!"

It's honestly confusing. She seems like one of those people you meet and become friends with and they're kind of odd and quirky but you think nothing of it until they show you their Deviantart page and then you wonder if you should just smile and nod and try to never think of that again because you kind of like the person.

What Tanya doesn't realize is that we aren't trying to destroy their dreams, we're just trying to get them to use some critical thinking that might allow them to make some real world progress instead of living in a rabbit hole of delusion.

Because let's face it, if there was an island full of genocidal autistic nymphomaniac robot dragons somewhere in this world, that would be awesome.

I know that if I had to chose anyone to lead my glorious nation of multi-dicked robo-reptilian people, I would elect a borderline sociopath with aspergers, crippling self esteem issues, a complete inability to empathize and a readiness to abandon anything he deems too "human" to make major decisions.

I have a question:
What is he going to do with your money when your fantasy inevitably fails to bear fruit?

From Taygon's actions on petty internet arguments if he did magically come into power it would be a dictatorship. Say one bad thing about him, mention anything about his past and he'll kill you with his dragon dongs.

Get it?

In case Taygon is still reading this thread (and because it really weirded me out even more than the dragon pregnancy stuff):

What's the reasoning on making the dragon children age so fast they are adults at age 11? Considering your robot dragon herms with six dongs are supposed to live a really really long time it doesn't make much sense. In a good majority of species in fiction that are immortal or near, adults & children age slower than humans, not faster.

I doubt he can (or will) give a valid reasoning for it beyond babble of "humans can't comprehend dragon morals, blah blah."

I mean, if you have only two balls, how would you split up the cum? Gotta fire all cannons, right? So would it be like diverting a river into smaller stream or more like one of those rotating gattling guns?
