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.


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

Well, if you insist!



GRAVE CONSEQUENCES?
