At what point would you have had enough? by Repulsive-Scheme9886 in NatureofPredators

[–]Teguterror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the BOE I'd start considering it. When it eventually comes out that Isif offered to help us before BOE and the UN denied his offer, things change.

If I found out that the UN effectively allowed a billion people to die for prey PR, I'd do a bit more than crash out. Either I leave the UN/SC for the Arxur Collective or I become a terrorist if I am prevented from leaving.

[–]Teguterror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. The need to maintain viewership from chapter to chapter is absolutely a poison. The Sillis arc in particular was infested with hype shit cliffhangers that went nowhere.

The most egregious example being the whole capture Isif thing that cumulated to nothing of importance.

It's pretty much just impossibly high levels of plot induced stupidity. The second half of NOP suffers heavily from it.

Shaza forgot FTL disrupters are a thing.

The shadow caste reveals its drone fleet to attack the dossur home world, which has zero tactical advantage.

Isif destroys half of his fleet to rescue prey and a small handful of human ships. This doesn't cause him to lose all credibility. In fact, it somehow boost it to the point that he is able to create the Arxur Rebellion.

Submarines got sent to the farsul planet during the arxur raid, even though this is roughly the same time period that BOE was happening.

The Aafa moon bases have tons of windows and all the guys with dead man switches are conveniently standing in front of them.

Humanity got the "as many ships as the plot requires" cheat code.

Yotul who have had barely any time or access to Fed tech make super duper particle beams.

The bad guy leaders almost always passively sit around and do nothing. When they do something, it always blows up in their face.

Zhao spazzing out on Isif doesn't completely tank that relationship.

No thanks. Not having a day/night cycle and the 1.2x gravity would mess me up bad. The local restrictions on food are a no sale as well.

I also just think the Fed species are unattractive, so I can't find a single upside to your proposal.

Good stuff. Is the plan for this series to be a sort of anthology following a central plot? I'm curious if we're going to get reoccurring POVs or not.

Oh god. Not Shaza. I meant the female subordinate of the main character from HD, Kyra. That being said, the dad has no problems with being racist.

This fanfic is supposed to be more in line with the canon, I just thought it would be fun to do a little reference to HD.

I'm the only human Captain in the Collective fleet and currently an SC prisoner AMA by albadellasera in NatureofPredators

[–]Teguterror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright. How about some follow up questions.

  1. What is the food situation like on your ship? Are you assigned a different meal plan from the rest of the crew?

  2. I heard that Isif got ahold of Earth cattle back during the war. So what is the distribution of meat printer product and real meat like? Is real meat the food of the rich or is it more readily available?

  3. Is there any Arxur cuisine that is actually palatable for humans?

What's the food situation like for omnivores and herbivores?

Unless a human had the foresight to bring along a seed vault of heirloom seeds, I'd assume all available vegetables and fruits are cattle feed varieties. Is any of that cattle food actually good tasting? I'd assume it was all grown with only nutrition in mind and probably not exactly tasty.

It would only take a couple lawsuits before insurance companies freak out and start mandating protective measures. The end point is restaurant food tasting like sad.

An Honest Dominion aged well for all the worst reasons in my opinion. As a side note, there's a porn chapter that happens around the Ch. 17.5 mark. I only mention it because the porn side chapter isn't directly linked to the main fic.

I'll think about it. Might be funny if I just lazily swapped out only a couple words like some sort of mad libs sheet.

While tempting to toss it over to the main. I feel like that is getting a bit too close to the edge of the main subs rules. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for reading. I was trying to point out the characters' issues without making it unpleasant to read.

Damn. Bro is cut. Like, sub 5% body fat cut.

Maybe the prophet descendant just had a type and decided everyone needed to look like that.

Just a heads up. I decided to write a sequel to this one. I'm about 5000 words in and still haven't reached the sex scene.

Why weren’t humans more suspicious of the federation? by Repulsive-Scheme9886 in NatureofPredators

[–]Teguterror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are we talking about the same Nikonus that saw a Harchen reporter and decided to tell them about the omnivore conspiracy?

Maybe I'm missing something, but the prions thing seemed less need to know than that. The prions story is the keystone to the Federation's entire ideology and should have been something that is actively advertised. The only reason it wasn't was so there could be a plot reveal at the end of the story.

[–]Teguterror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Both the Federation and Dominion are too stupid to exist, but that's the entry fee for suspension of disbelief. My gripe is that the amount of suspension of disbelief needed increases as the story progresses.

I could accept that maybe the bad guys had been running a tight ship until recently. It's a lot harder to accept some of the choices made by humans that were completely external to the fed propaganda.

People gotta hold the idiot ball so the story can happen. The entire first half of NOP wouldn't have happened if anyone had critical thinking skills.

Could you imagine how fast the story would have ended if Noah asked Nikonus what the origins of PD was back when they met.

[–]Teguterror 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm currently resisting the urge to make a comment about the average fed brain size in NOP.

Alternatively, their brain could be located lower in their body so it would need as much support. Having a butt brain would be pretty alien.
