Chapter 5 is up and ready to kick your... Talmi

It would be nifty if the cast page eventually listed all of the executioners and criminals by team and some bios were added for the Vaeos.

It would be nifty if the cast page eventually listed all of the executioners and criminals by team and some bios were added for the Vaeos.

The eventual idea has always been to at least have at least all players + the Vaeo Family listed, as I consider them the main batch to actually worry about. However, cast images (while quick) still take time so there's a bit of a guessing game there as to how long that should take me.

Right now I'm just trying to think up something a little more immediate to help reduce the apparent confusion -- there's the Wikifur page, but that's only so much.

Well, this code I wrote turns the name boxes in page 33 into links to the dossiers (including non-existent ones). Maybe it could be used to provide links to the text info about the stars of Last Resort until you have time to work on cast pics.

Bweeheeheehee.... now what could Cypress be so worried about... Boy those Anyr are tall. That and the Talmi are short.

...dammit, the forums got boring when I stopped being able to speculate D:

That aside, I always really loved this page, it just struck me as so funny.

[Tapewolf]

Out of curiosity, what's the quadruped creature in the background of panel 4?

[stiletto]

Shut up, Wingnut!

....but since no one is saying anything, it's a dog.

[Tapewolf]

....but since no one is saying anything, it's a dog.

In a way, that's slightly disappointing... I was hoping it/he/she was a member of some strange alien race.

[stiletto]

It is. Rachel is very creative in her extraplanetary creatures.

You didn't complain that every alien race looks like some earth animal, yet you're disappointed in the fucking dog? GHeeze

[Tapewolf]

You didn't complain that every alien race looks like some earth animal, yet you're disappointed in the fucking dog?

Yes.  I hoped it was a dog alien.

In all fairness, you'll have a hard time finding a Paladin Retriever anywhere on earth, considering they're illegal to own / breed / sell on the planet. Most of this is due to the snobbishness of the Westminister / AFC / Purina Kennel Club, as they insist that a true dog not only does not have scales, but also does not eat other dogs.

On more civilized planets, Paladin Retrievers are not only perfectly legal, but your average small yappy dog is reduced to the role of "Feeder Mouse", and in your average "alien" supermarket aisle, you will find the cans of dog food just across from the cans of dog.

Ah, so it was scales?  I wasn't sure - my initial guess was that it was armour.  On the assumption that he/she was a guard rather than an animal, I was going to ask all kinds of questions about the race history.  That's kind of moot now 

Thanks for the info.

well in the universe seen here i think it would be hard to walk into a grocery store and not find someones uncle frank in the butcher case- species would probably determine if they are horrified, horrified that someone of clan Hmor would be sold for such a low price, or buy a bit for the BBQ tomorrow


the paladin retriever really tells me alot about the universe here- it tells me that humanity and other species have commingled for quite a while and some ideas have traveled from species to species. most likely another race had a kind of yodeling frog to fill the role that humans have dogs, seeing how superior a pet which is not a frog and does not yodel would be, the pet caught on and was later improved.

now, just imagine how they react to Piranha Pomeranians

its kudos though, lesser authors would have populated the universe with creatures such as 'hogmonkeys' and 'altorian winged chipmunks' just to make every planet earth with slightly tweaked animals to give it a different feel. it irritates me when someone writes so that every animal is an earth animal preceded by the name of a different planet and give it a freaky super power

Depends if 'Paladin' was the planet it was created on, doesn't it?

The "Paladin" part of the name came from the thick, armor-like scales they have on their legs and spine. (Oh, and the whole "will hunt you down and BITE YOUR HEAD OFF" part of their stereotyped personality. Paladins are not known for being open to negotiations after all.)

So no, not a planet.

Actually I was being facetious, but more info on the dog is always welcome.

Celi says, stop being such a wingless whore and do us all a favor by running yourself through.

I didn't say it, Celi did.

Now now, no fair exploiting in-jokes.

[stiletto]

They won't be in jokes forever though!

...and it's not like there's anything ELSE going on in this forum >_>

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

We have lives, so sue us. :-P

[Brunhidden]

and believe it or not sometimes we put the one-liners and dumb questions asside to just sit back and enjoy the show.

[stiletto]

Jig, what kind of fans are you getting yourself here? Intelligent people? With LIVES??

Weird.

[Brunhidden]

we resent being called intelligent

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I'd resent being called intelligent if I knew what it meant...

[Dagardo]

I'd resent being called intelligent if I knew what it meant...

I resent knowing what it means, and being called it.

[Brunhidden]

i can compliment the cool glowey effects of the ship and the mysterious forcefield that keeps all the air in but does not hinder flying objects if that will make jiggy feel better

[Brunhidden]

hawtness, yet suddenly i have images of her and a cake.... i like these images....mmmm....

[Stupid N00bie]

Huh, I would say whatever floats your boat, but I am trying to keep this slightly work safe.

[techmaster-glitch]

I think the joke in this one is floating over my head...

[stiletto]

Be thankful, the original joke would have boweled you over.

Though seriously, you're right. The layman just looking at this.... the joke doesn't really make much sense. Huh.
