I know for a fact that you aren't new to this thread, and the in-story April Fools was weeks ago. Real-World April Fools was months ago.

Zoat has a bunch of self-professed grammatical idiosyncrasies, including the two dots versus three dots argument. As described in the FAQ:
The two dot usage is on purpose.

He doesn't have any about capitalization, nor does he have any about not putting a space after the ellipsis.

so i'm a bit slow at politics, how does this help her? Does she hope to gain enough political capital to appoint a successor of her own choice or something?

Queen Clea would by bypassing a Senate that's opposing King Orin's agenda in order to pursue said agenda. Since Queen Clea's domain would be the sole beneficiary, the Senate would either need to acquiesce to King Orin so that Poseidonis can keep up or make an unpopular and reckless power play to curb her influence that would provoke stiff response in Queen Clea's favor from the other royals, potentially including King Orin. The latter is only plausible if the Senate is actively opposed to surface contact, though.

You know, I find it funny when people say things like that.
After all, "a pointy stick launcher" is good enough for one of Darkseid's female furies.
Plus, in DC one million, Ollie's kids started a dynasty of warrior monks that lasts at least to the 853rd century- mankind has expanded to every planet in the solar system, except for Jupiter which they turned into a second sun, people are connected by a telepathic internet, and powers as programs was taken to its logical conclusion with superpowers being things you download off said telepathic internet, and there are more green arrows than ever.

right, but how does forcing the senate to trying to move forward help clea? Is she just trying to score favor points so she can appoint a successor of her choosing? sorry if this is really obvious, like I said i'm bad at politics.

In this situation she has two options.
Firstly, act against Orin. Reduce the power and prestige of the Poseidonis throne to the point where has has to accept her choice.
Secondly, make friends with him. Act in a way he would approve of and so make him more inclined not to intervene in her choice.
The Renegade paragoned it, and so suggested a way for her to improve relations in a way she can do but no one else can or will. Better still, this is a) a personal concern of King Orin and not a concern for most of Poseidonis and b) she's involving herself in an area that was traditionally the domain of the High King.
He did. But he was in position for years, and there was a suggestion that she may have had dealings with him.

Thank you, corrected.
As I recall Lex mentioned a similar problem to Paul. Prince Traitor effectively ran the country and was the point of contact for an awful lot of people.
Hmmmm...
I recall reading articles in "Popular Science" about the possibility of using modified water storage tanks as an alternative to traditional radiation shielding as well as serving as heat sinks.
For technologically uplifting all of Earth (not just mankind), Grayven could consider the industrial applications of water-inside-water barriers with regards to NASA's "mundane" spaceflight in addition to disseminating extraterrestrial tech, enhancing the performance of conventional spacecraft mankind already has access to.
It's like the parable about "teach a man to fish, feed him for life". Even if Grayven tried to disseminate as much alien tech as possible to everyone, the majority of the world doesn't have the resources and knowledge needed to build, maintain, and use such advanced equipment.
But making conventional space travel easier and more affordable would kick-start commercial spaceflight: asteroid mining, exploration, outposts on the Moon or Mars, their own early warning system so they aren't dependant on the Justice League telling them about alien invasions, etc.
Also, Atlantean sorcerers must've perfected means to filter oxygen and carbon dioxide from water as well as remove pollutants, so it'd be ironic if a "reverse submarine" was more cost efficient and commercially viable than NASA's "mundane" spacecraft.
Who is a superhuman New God. A normal if skilled human is a different proposition than someone whom bullets bounce of, has superhuman pull strength, and/or can perform divine arrow feats. He doesn't sneer at Celestial Archer and his pointy stick launcher.

Of course not. When your pointy stick launcher can fire a dozen arrows into widely dispersed targets in a single release, and when those pointy sticks can teleport themselves past pesky things like 'walls' and 'armor', they become strictly better than a gun.
Grayven is totally the sort of guy who would discard his 'epic legendary sword of adamantine destruction' for a balloon sword, provided that the balloon sword provided a slightly better stat boost/damage output.

He capitalizes all species names.
In the Revelation Space series, which I've been reading off and on for a bit, their starships use large quantities of ice as shielding for when they approach the speed of light.
Don't forget that Paragon-OL managed to get Leonard Snart (Captain Cold) to share his research notes with the academic community.
Depending on if Belle Reve has a prison library, I can picture OL donating science fiction novels where cryogenics or coolant technology play a major role as a passive-aggressive attempt to motivate or inspire Snart.
