The latter part is simply how I read everyone's Beef-talk that consisted of paragraphs of texts that really all meant, "HOW BOUT' I KILL YOU?"
This didn't happen in the old days, we just dealt with it.
Well, I was confused since that was in a post quoted from me, and I never threatened anyone (unless in jest, like saying Miya will make Stacy eat a manipulator, or saying characters who attack allies in-game can expect some consequences). I mean, I remember you guys also 'threatened' people before, but always in a 'OH GOD I'M SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW IF WE MAKE IT OUT OF THIS IMMA KILL YOU DEAD WITH A RUBBER SPOON YOU OVERSHOOTING S.O.B.' But I can see how the tone could seem more hostile and serious this time. Still, with the way things are now anyone killing an ally now is all but committing suicide, what with synthflesh abominations hunting that person down for it (Jim and Miya should get a buddy cop movie or something).
At least read the rest of the paragraph before snipping
Hmm, I thought it referred to both our and their forces. Since the text mentions the artillery shell as well, and that thing hit our bunker, I thought the energy hit both our forces. But it's unclear what happened exactly, so I'll give you that one. By the way, what's the current plan for that bucket of bolts once the mission ends and we leave the system?
Speaking as controller of one of the dead characters, I consider that squarely under "shit happens." I'll be disappointed if Lars doesn't get to charge into a boarding party screaming fanatically about one god or the other, but this is war, and war is hell.
Uhh, anyone an idea how long it usually takes people to get put in robobodies in-game? It should be a while before the boarding shuttles launch, so there is still a chance those players will get to play spacepirate as well (I certainly hope so).
On paper your statement makes sense. In practice, well at least three bunkers got hit, and the Thundertron overloaded its weapon into the enemy. So at the moment it would seem that the artillery is more dangerous than the Thundertron despite what probability says.
Yeah, I did the math some posts before, and while the chance of friendly fire happening once is fairly low, the chance of it happening at least once per full volley is alarmingly high. But that is something we didn't know before we knew the mechanics behind them, so there was no real planning possible for that. But hey, live and learn.
So, I was going to just post about how arguing over this stuff is stupid, because it obviously isn't going to be changing anyone's opinions, but it very well might alienate someone.
Fuck, my RL friends are either sleeping or getting funky. This is the best social outlet I got right now.
I love y'all.
If there's anyone annoyed by this somehow, we could stop anytime they want. That'll mean the subforum goes dead for a week, but eh, no big deal.
Also, TCM: want a brofist? manhug maybe? Secret handshake?
