:siren:Week 543 Crits:siren:

Given all the earnest chat last thread re: doing crits, I have decided to dust off my highly complex crit sheet of six questions and use it on your stories! Template available here. I say it a lot but the bottom line is you have been qualified to crit since you learned how to read and need no further permissions from anyone. Give the template a try if you're stuck for how to start.

Anyway.

<regolith||o2crackin> theyre in my quarry u clown
<Albedo> Okay… I just think it sort of defeats the point of what we’re doing here if you’re going to feed it all into a crusher.
<regolith||o2crackin> aye sure ill just shut this down and we can all asphyxiate precisely 6.32 sols later lmao
<regolith||o2crackin> take it up with solar added loads of big mouthbreathers without asking anyone pride
<lungulate> dont worry, im *working* on that
*solar_pride smacks their head off the desk.
<solar_pride> Reg, mate, that DM was in confidence.
<Albedo> We all knew it was you.
<solar_pride> Apex predators are a critical part of a balanced ecosystem!
<solar_pride> And as God is my witness, have you seen them run in low grav?
*lungulate is now known as lungulate-has-a-magrifle
<lungulate-has-a-magrifle> i will soon

<regolith||o2crackin> but u need to let me do my thing down here ok or this whole shebang goes up in a lack of flames

<solar_pride> Okay Lun, you win. Everyone, I’m sorry I released the lions without asking. Got a bit carried away.
<solar_pride> But please let me just come tranquillise most of them? And leave a few in-place at your discretion? Otherwise you’ll end up having to shoot a lot of zebra later.
