*sigh* I was hoping this would be explaining the awesome new custom-titles tradition.

I'm wondering about the custom-titles, too. Some users have their own, some don't. Is that something from the older pweb, or can you still create your own title?

^Peter

I'm 4'6". Oh, I do rant on and on about that here, don't I?

How do you post pictures? I can't imagine not having mac&cheese...

^Peter

joh, this is something that has frequently been debated on pweb. What's mostly been decided is that Ender had what it took NO MATTER WHAT.

^Peter

Lucky! You got to read Ender for a grade? If any of us was assigned Ender, we'd invaribly all get A's!

Welcome to pweb, Lell. I'm pretty sure I can't offer limeaid because I'm still pretty new here too, but I can warn you to be warry of spoilers around the forum.

Couples who have to eat eachother in the halls in plain sight inbetween classes. Too much perfume, too strong deodorant. Why can't you just shower and be done with it? Or at least get deodorant that isn't so musty. People who sag their pants. What's the point of having your pants so low? It just mak...

^Peter

Bob, If I had a nickel for every time mocked my height, I'd have... ... a lot of nickels. The obnoxious ones do it every passing, even on the days when I'm so obviously limping through the halls. Inconsiderate jerks. They'll all be drop-outs soon, I'm pretty sure. Really, do they have to mock a shor...

^Peter

Did the "Star Trek generation" sound weird? I guess it did. I meant were you able to watch Star Trek when it first aired. So you answered my question, neo-dragon. Sorry for poor choice of wording.

^Peter

Okay... now I'm confused. Who's joking, who's serious, are all you all just joking?, because I'm sensing a lot of sarcasm here. Maybe I should start a thread titled, "Is OSC a pweb-er?"

Unless you all can stop messing with a very confused n00b.

^Peter

Were you all part of the Star Trek generation? I'm young, so I never actually saw the series. And I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I thought the movie was good, but I wish I knew the original continuation instead of the movie's "alternate reality" timeline.

^Peter

That makes me wonder... Does Mr. Card have a pweb account? Does he secretly check in and discreetly post story and plot line ideas? Is he reading these very posts, at this very moment!?

^Peter

Chronicles of Narnia is one of my favorite series, too :) . I would suggest Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. It's a fast-paced thriller, well-written, and very hard to put down. Most people probably know about that Da Vinci Code controversy. Angels & Demons is the first book Brown wrote with th...

^Peter

Do you start flamewars?

sheesh, jeesh, stop trying to pick a fight

^Peter

Welcome to pweb, mikeAumd!

A question to my seniors: what's limeaid?

^Peter

eww... you make me sound like a stalker. I meant to say I read ALL posts. Everyone makes good points. Who knew an Ender Forum could be so educating?

^Peter

touchÃ©, but the answer is: it doesn't (obviously!). You answered your own question, Jeesh. And of course pwebs (and that's pwebs, with one syllable :wink: ) are strong, they just have their limit of how far they can stretch. Also, auias probably do not have universal strength. I doubt all auias are...

^Peter

I'm sorry, was that sarcasm?

The only stoopid ones here are those who flame.

^Peter

sigh... of course I read your posts. I make an effort to read all of them to make sure I don't sound redundant by repeating points already said. Eskarina, I see what you're saying. By making abortion legal, you make sure that all abortions (or most at least) are done safely and by professionals. Or ...

^Peter

jeesh_girl, you kill me with your lack of taste :roll: . Okay then, howabout [Potter 6 & 7 Spoilers:] Horcruxes? When you kill another person, the auia can't stand the feeling of wiping out another auia, making it weaker and able to be torn apart. The auia is then focused upon other objects besi...

^Peter

Wow. It's hot on this thread. But I guess, if you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen, neh? :) I voted pro-life (ahh! don't hit me!), but I also know there're a lot of circumstances where pro-choice is the better answer. My point is, while pro-choice can be a good thing, I know that there ar...

^Peter

I am also confused about how the IF knew what planet was the Buggers' home world. Even if the pattern the Formics colonized planets was a straight line, and even if the IF traced the line of colonized planets further outward, how could they have known, "Ah, this is far enough, there are definat...

^Peter

When I first read about Philotic Twining in Enderverse, I thougt, "wow, what a cool idea". But thinking about it now, I realize lots of other fictions support the idea of p twining as well. For example: From Star Wars, the Force can be recognized as the ability to use your emotions to mani...

^Peter

Oh, my bad. I don't oppose monogamy, I agree with it. It's just that it'd be nice if things like Sonic references could be more subtle. And as for getting off topic... that's my fault. Sorry! :? To get back on topic, I expect that "Shadows in Flight" refers to Bean and his kids, or his kid...

^Peter

But of course. Subtlety was never Card's strong point. Half of Enderverse screams, "monogamy!"

^Peter

That makes so much sense! I never noticed references to Shadow the Hedgehog before. But, yeah Jeebs, I totally see it now. And 'The enemy's gate is down' obviously refers to the way Sonic often has to loop upside down to get to the finish line. All of the space ships in Enderverse are a mockery of D...

^Peter

Many of you have brought up great points about the other Wiggins. I think it is important to think that the Wiggins were all amazing characters. Peter is ruthless and would have been able to defeat the buggers just as Ender did. Valentine however I don't think would have been able to, though intell...

^Peter

I just finished EiE roughly five minutes ago, so I can finally understand this thread :) . I have noticed on my own that Card promotes monogamy. I think, Why not? except if you do pay attention to it, it comes up as a ''theme'' like the ones they make you learn in high school English. Does anyone wa...

^Peter

Haha, yeah. Are you listed in the acknoledgements?

Anyways, an Ender dictionary? I find myself in a strange mix of--what?--happiness and disgust? Oh, well. I'm glad I'll be able to have a reference more reliable than wiki now.

^Peter

Oh, yes. I definately do embrace them, Jebus. I do.
And a book series, even one as good as the Shadow quartet, can't drink anything, let alone your ass gravy. So,

!

^Peter

Gee, why are there so many Shadow haters? Come on. I do think the Ender Quartet was better, but not by much. You can't really be satisfied with reading just one quartet. I mean, it's like yin and yang, movies and popcorn, oreos and milk. Hallo? Do my strange similes make my point? I support both ser...

^Peter

I found, not a contradiction, but a typo that I thought was pretty funny. It's in CotM where Jane is dying.

The door to the room swung open. Plikt stood in the doorway. "I room," she said. "What's happening?"

^Peter

I think the "right" answer is a bit deeper than just the distance between the Queens and the drones. The surviving queen made it clear the Ender that they accepted the humans as intelligent, and didn't want to fight them anymore; that was why they didn't try to invade Earth again. But it'...

^Peter

What would Artemis Fowl gain from competing against Ender? Maybe alien technology? Though I don't like to admit it, Fowl would beat Wiggin, mainly because it would be Artemis striking first, and he would have done his research on Ender and devised the perfect ambush for him, just like for the faerie...

^Peter

You can't go wrong with Ender's Game. And then Ender's Shadow completes it. While I loved the character developement of Peter, Bean, Petra, and all, the Speaker quartet had stronger moral themes in it... The conclusions to both quartets were amazing, really climactic... And then First Meetings prope...

^Peter

Though Mazer isn't brilliant, he still is the best one to train the next commander as he has the most understanding of the Buggers. But it's explained that they want a child because he would be able to react much quicker than an adult, and have no second thoughts about strategy in terms of losing s...

^Peter

Philotic Bender's Game Well, if we're going that far, OSC would have to stretch that title into a trilogy; PBG IV: A New Ender, PBG V: Congress Strikes Back, PBG VI: Return of the Child Geniuses, and then quite possibly a prequel trilogy, and then a planned sequel trilogy that never actually gets w...
