In Response To: Re: Not bad. (Wayward Spleen™) : This sounds a lot like the sort of attitude that got you the dialog you're : rewriting, no? No, I really think the line's in need of delivery - it's the old textual sarcasm problem. It would clearly be the kind of hate as in 'I hate going to work' rather than 'I hate Hitler'; it's a nuisance, an irritating part of the job. Who doesn't hate those suicide Grunts? :D I don't think having Jun say 'I hate suicide grunts' contradicts his 'I kill the enemy, but do not hate them' quote - they're two different kinds of hate. : How would one remote det a charge that's inside of a ECM barrier? If those : countermeasures are worth a damn, I suspect one wouldn't. That...is something I was worried about. But Kat seems able to transmit in, even in the original, and I'd assumed it was an ECM device even back then. At one point I had a line about how she was having trouble finding clear frequencies, but I cut it. Maybe it should've stayed? What would you advise? : I do like how you continue to tie things in, but be careful of being too : attached to your dialog. There's a lot of good feedback and if you dismiss : it based upon your own feelings about what you've written, you're likely : to get in a situation where an active part of the community thinks you've : missed the point (sound familiar?)... If you read through the threads linked up top you can see I've accepted a lot of feedback. Off the top of my head there's the Mom thing, Kat's attitude in Sword base (and general personality) and the Ackerson issue. As long as it's presented reasonably I'm definitely open.
