Masters of the Hidden Valley

Just got back from Morocco (it was an extremely intense and fascinating experience by the way, I'd recommend it to everyone but don't go unprepared) and the next 3-ish days will be kind of hectic for me, and on Saturday I'll be returning to the U.S. from Spain, BUT I should have some time to pop up a quick IC post for this week. If nothing else, like you said before, just have Dunlad fall sick. He's an older guy with a beer gut, it can happen.

I do want to say I have no intention of quitting the RP, I'm loving it so far and want to see where the chips we've laid lead us. This week will be kind of zany but after I'll be looking for shit to do so time won't be an issue.

Masters of the Hidden Valley

Off to Morocco my clan, will return on Sunday!

Welp, I'm off to Morocco chaps, I'll be back on Sunday!

The thread will probably be another 500 posts deep by that point ._.

...In my delirium, I thought "Akkab" was "Kebab."

By the way, can anyone critique my history section/add any suggestions?

@Hael I suppose you right. Maybe I'm just not all into the space mariney-Murrica thing that Hamilton had going. I think they should still have human names...but...like, they couldn't think of something better than Bob? I dunno, I guess it's just a personal thing haha, but it's also related heavily to tone. Blindsight has a couple Bob and Bill like names, but it's quite mind-expanding, and the Ender Saga is really mystical.

I'm probably just a nitpicker lol, ignore it ignore it.

@Shorticus You do have a point, you know...

I do enjoy the Ender Saga and the protagonist's last name is Wiggins and there's a race of aliens called the piggies.

I just think Hamilton's schtick was just kind of "Space Captain Wilson Heimer" or whatever with a lot of slang that just kind of took me out of it. Also, glacial pacing, at least in the Commonwealth. GLACIAL.

@Monarch Which should I read??

@babbysama

I, personally, have read none of those books.

@Lauder

Now you can! :D

I would personally recommend Blindsight, it's pretty batshit but kind of awesome. Haven't gotten to the end yet but so far it's been a wild ride

Updated my history section.

Also, I'm looking to start a space opera for inspiration. Right now I'm working through Blindsight by Peter Watts, but since I'm on a sci-fi stint at the moment and due to this RP I thought I'd continue.

Has anybody, by chance read:

• The Gap Series by Stephen Donaldson
• Revelation Space by Alistair Reynolds
• Golden Age by John C. Wright
• Culture Series by Ian M. Banks
• Zones of Thought by Vernor Vinge

_{have tried to read Peter F. Hamilton's series but I'm sorry reading about characters named fucking Wilson or Bob in a god damn sci-fi novel dulls the imagination---it's SCI-FI think of some better names for fuck sakes}
