Set up a call center using a few low-level servants with experienced reapers to get them oriented and answer questions that previously servantless reapers couldn't answer, and possibly a service by which these servants can arrange sparring sessions. <br /><br />This has benefits everywhere you turn. The superhero stuff gets done. The task, which gets servants active but doesn't really threaten them, gives them a chance to experiment with and get used to their powers. After this "boot camp" is completed, they come in already understanding their bond and nicely aged. And this would seriously weed out Abolish spies; the Dozers probably wouldn't be willing to "waste" their valuable time, it's beyond the attention span of most Morgunovs, and if they do stick with it they might start experiencing "good feels good" and defect anyway.Lord Ericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731978491355560966.post-61589778989117725102014-08-19T00:22:24.669-04:002014-08-19T00:22:24.669-04:00Yeah, I was actually thinking the same.

Humans will be humans, reapers were once human and have those traits, and put enough humans into an organization too big to regulate itself properly and you get corruption. Vanguard was always small enough before that the old, big people at the top could keep things running a certain way. Now they can't.<br /><br /><br />Simple in a GOOD way, mind you. With plenty of potential for individual examples to be satisfyingly difficult and complex.Z.n.

There are all so...Yeah, I'm familiar with that. There are all sorts of factors that work against you. If you let yourself get sucked into the text too much, your brain starts filling in the gaps. But if you don't get sucked in enough, then you could end up missing logical errors in the text, instead. AND SO ON. IT'S JUST GREAT.George M.

(See here for example: http://www.vanamo.net/hupi/count_the_number_of_f.htm ) And also the text where all the letters in a word are mixed up and it's still readable?<br /><br /><br />Same thing with typos. Your brain knows what's supposed to be there and just interpolates. The funny thing is that it only works in languages you speak really, really well. As a non-native speaker, you read more carefully because you lack the ability to just look and know what it means. You have to read and understand every word, and you naturally stumble when a sentence is weird. You've learned the language in a specific way and when a text deviates from that (due to error or difference in style), you notice.<br /><br /><br />Or maybe that's just me, who knows.Ankounoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731978491355560966.post-18435082830318323362014-04-27T02:28:13.884-04:002014-04-27T02:28:13.884-04:00YOU'RE A WIZARD, ANKOU.
