Away with you both! I want to be able to consider the the fact that I'm a sadistic, maladaptive, antisocial, OCD, grandiose schizoid in privacy. They're all the negative seeming aspects of my personality from this test I took. There are positive ones like empathy but not a lot of them and some weren...

Am I the only Launchie left in this place?

Eh. The people of Path accepted it as a virus but when Qing-jao showed such devotion their belief in the gods was aroused and re-established.

Well aren't you the consumate secret keeper? That's cool. If people make neutral or even better NO comments I'm happy. Seemingly neutral comments can sometimes tell you something through their neutrality but I won't analyse your's and so keep it a surprise for myself.

HAPPY HUNGER GAMES!

Yes... OCD indeed Gravity Defier. Go and complete your cleansing rituals. I actually enjoyed the Shadow books MORE. They kept the personal side of the story whilst also keeping the element of military and tactical maneuver that first drew me to the Ender saga going. Don't get me wrong. The conceptua...

Thanks for responding. I was beginning to think I had said something unnutterably stupid. He could have found the cure and then did the Descolada job but I'll have to re-read SotG. As for that spoiler, I heard somewhere that the Descolada contains the cure for the giantism so if that's what you're w...

Hey! If you want to get used to the system without making fatal mistakes or just get your post count up for a promotion without trolling/spamming anyone, chat with other Launchies right here!

Introduction to you...
1. Name/nickname?
2. Favourite ES book?
3 Favourite ES character?

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you, Taft. While the Ender books were definitely concerned with "higher matters" such as philosophy, morality, sentience, humanity and so on, I did enjoy the Shadow books enormously. I haven't read SiF but I have to say, it was the concept of war and tact...

Lengthy speech but I do agree with you on pretty much every point. However, I want to go back to a previous point in this thread (if that's ok) and say that the tension between Novinha and Ender was much fanned by the death of Quim. She couldn't have let him go because a large part of her animosity ...

To neo-dragon> Gifts from OSC are you serious? I'm new and maybe it's established here that you're a personal friend of the guy but I don't know. How can I get in contact with him I wish to kiss his feet or some such thing.

You found EG because you had to read it for English. Lucky. The books I get for English are pure kuso. I am signed up to the Vision Australia library and they send me random books based on my interests profile. EG was sent to my brother but once I got a read I never let it go.

Maybe SiF contradicts this, I haven't got the audio book yet. At the end of SotG, they said that they would send Volesku (hope i spelled it right) off to do genetic research in space. He would be sent off with and used by a colony. Given that he was nuts and obsessed with what he saw as improving sp...
