• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Said secret base is at... Dwarfland. It's not just the guys who are interrogating them that're assholes: whoever hired them even after knowing they're assholes is at fault, too.

    Inheritance Cycle

    Um, I'd say that if a guy is hanging around helping a known criminal then they're probably at risk for harsh punishments. Common sense, y'know. If they treat everyone trying to enter Dwarfland by invading their minds, then I'd say they're assholes!

    Inheritance Cycle

    If a dude risks death or worse to try to get the fuck away from the Evil Empire, then I'd imagine that he's probably fairly trustworthy. Changing a possible-enemy into a definite-enemy because you don't trust him and want to destroy the last semblance of privacy he has does not seem like a good...

    Inheritance Cycle

    How do you know they didn't? We know very little of what they were doing. And somehow I don't think invading someone's mind just because their dad was on the side of Evil is kosher. At all.

    Probably not, but hostages do a hell of a lot of good in the department of "getting people to stop being terrorists" department.

    Inheritance Cycle

    If I was not only overconfident but vocal about it, yes, it would make me a pompous ass. If I stopped being overconfident about it, then I would no longer be a pompous ass.

    Inheritance Cycle

    No, but one can get quite a decent idea of what someone is like from interviews and so on. If he doesn't make the effort to seem like anything other than a pompous ass in his public appearances, then what exactly are people expected to conclude?

    This is true, but it's not difficult to refrain from praising yourself.

    Inheritance Cycle

    Among other things, he has said multiple times that he is proud of how much of a strong character Arya is. And how Eragon and Saphira are ~equals~. And some other things that show a lack of alignment with reality. ... yeah. ... despite the whole "can't rescue herself out of a paper bag"...

    Inheritance Cycle

    I don't recall. He has, however, stated his opinions of his characterization.

    Inheritance Cycle

    Eragon was self-published, you know. It's just that somebody noticed that they could market it well.

    Inheritance Cycle

    Considering how freaking sheltered he is? Don't count on it. Also he's still a pompous ass.
  13. surskitty

    Inheritance Cycle

    No, because he's been sheltered from criticism and told that his stuff is good. I don't get the impression that he realizes that he needs improvement.

    Inheritance Cycle

    Second one was more boring than the first one and had prose even more purple. :| Yaaay, thesaurus abuse (psst paolini i don't think that word means what you think it means) What excerpts I've read do show that he has improved a bit, but not significantly. He fairly obviously still has no...

    Inheritance Cycle

    It's easy for many people to ignore the crappy writing style and that it's cliched and derivative as all hell; it's a lot harder to ignore that a flock of geese in a tree makes no sense. You'd think he'd've realized the issue there.

    Inheritance Cycle

    I can't see why anyone can manage to read his drivel. You know, in Eldest, he specified that Eragon saw a flock of geese in a tree. Think about that for a second.
