Big Daddy, please, for the sake of our collective sanity (or at least
mine), please use normal English (or your closest approximation) and leave
the SR-style talk for TK, IRC, or in-game.

Please. Something more closely approximating "normal" written English.
This isn't meant as an insult or a flame, but the two posts you made were
difficult for me to read because of how you wrote them. It's bad enough
that we all tend to use our own regional slang and forget not everyone
knows what a "brolly" is.

And as for Insect Totem info, you should probably check out Awakenings if
you haven't all ready. Also make sure to also take a good look at Target:
UCAS, as that book has the "current" bug city info.

If you're looking for new invae types, just look around. Are there flea
spirits? Bee spirits (not sure)? How about aphid spirits? Get a good
concept in your mind about what these sorts of spirits might be like then
create then using the current spirits as guidelines. Then show us what
you've got, because I'm sure more than a few of us would find that
interesting.

Oo! How about dung beetle spirits!! That would be neat.

Sorry, I'm tired. Time to go home...

Welcome to the list! If you want to know the why and how, I suggest you
read the FAQ, available from the URL in my signature; even if you don't
want to know those things, read the FAQ anyway :)

Oh, and one small request from me personally (not the GridSec me): could
you please capitalize the right words, and avoid using things like "4"
when you want to say "for"? It makes reading posts a lot easier for
everyone. Thanks :)
