Don't. It's a discussion. I suppose I can only speak for myself, but as I said in an earlier post, I don't have anything at stake in this. I'm just discussing something. It's a work of fiction, and I'm discussing it, much the same way you chat about that movie you just saw with a bunch of your...

Heh. You saw what appeared to be a minor logical inconsistency and poked at it. Clearly, this is verboten. Honestly, I wouldn't call what you've been saying "flaming." Or what I've said, either. I've tried to keep it all in the vein of analysis and discussion. Maybe I failed at that. Oh well.

Which is an entirely valid point and I'd accept that if it were what were passed down from "on high," but instead, what we're hearing is, essentially, the author sticking his fingers in his ears, and going "La la la, I can't hear you," and blithely insisting that "This thing - as in this thing...

The reason you're getting such pushback is because the only viewpoint you're bothering to consider is your own. I concede the point that it's possible to go without a cell phone or an internet connection. I understand that people do. That being said, it's also possible, even for those with...

Eh, while I don't think it's completely out of the realm of possibility that these two don't have any means of electronic communication to work with, in my opinion, it's a little implausible for a couple of reasons. I acknowledge the point that yes, they're poor, etc. etc. but let's be fair...

Shame you couldn't have gotten her to play... herself. I grew up watching Babs in the cartoons, so she's still my favorite, but it's a toss-up between Cass and Steph for who's second. No one likes Bette. :P

I did a double-take at who was playing Huntress. That, uh... that's an interesting choice of screen name given who the other characters are. Ah, if only those Cass/Shiva brawls had been mother/daughter tickle fights, instead. :D

Serious answer? Hell if I know. I guess, personally, I don't consider Jason in the same league as Dick, or... hell, even Tim. I know they've done a lot with the character, but he's just always struck me as the... scrappiest of all the Robins. And I'm even counting Steph and Carrie in that list...

(Cough cough) Canary. Connor Hawke. Bronze Tiger. (Cough cough) :)

Ha. Sorry. Wasn't clear, there. I was referring to most of the work on that particular SITE in that format. I was casting no aspersions of any particular poster on THIS board. :)

www.writing.com is set up for "interactive stories." Accounts are free, but at the same time, there seems to be a lot of little "features" that seem designed to try and get you to spend money. Also, a lot of the "choose your own adventure" type of stories are basically excuses for badly written...

Meant to comment on this earlier, but I've spent the last few days recovering from a hard drive failure. Whooptyfriggindo. Think everything's working ok now, though. Fingerscrossedfingerscrossed. Heh. Just couldn't help herself. She's such a cutie. :) Anyway, looking forward to the Jaheira...

Awwww, ok. I much prefer the BG cast, myself, and Imoen is definitely my favorite character of the bunch, so I was hoping to see her get a little more comeuppance. She kinda deserves it, the little minx. ;) Heh. Or you could argue that rangers, druids, and all those treehuggers would know...

Five grand? That's it? That's a third of what it cost to get your cute behind out of Spellhold. That's pocket change. :p Heh. The D&D nerd in me says they're way too high level and have way too many hit dice to be knocked out by a silly first level spell. ;) Even so, nice job. Always loved...

I just had to say it: This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: huge success. :)
