Remember, I already know the answers - I can't outright tell you. But I can say, your line theory comes close to the second side meaning - but it's a simple mathematical principle, and not the pure number. And malevolence has nothing to do with it.

Ah, you already know the answers... What a killjoy. Does it mean you cannot buy Nyartifacts anymore? Did it come as a part of your Hephaestus regency?
Hmmm. It does sound really boring and sort of bleak for you. I'm sorry to hear about that.

@People who know more than can talk about (PyroDesu, Kriellya, Caellath, IronyOwl, Xantalos and others):
Is it worth it? I mean, achieving more than your peers and gaining access to forbidden knowledge at the price of not being able to talk about it and not being able to guess and make theories like all other players? Or is it fine as you know that others will catch up one day, and you're just staying ahead of the curve?
What are your opinions on this matter, people?

Well, I'd better make up my mind on that before (if ever) I finally come about joining the club :P

Follow.  Prepare to fire arms.

There was one time, back on the planetoid, when I was seriously considering secretly modifying Gilgamesh to have Rocket Punch capability. A series of unfortunate events thwarted that, of course, but it could've been fun.

Meet up with the main group, set the raduga to wide angle microwave.

Before firing that, make sure there are no exposed faces in your view, that you'd potentially want to look at again.

Looking at what is going on with M18 currently, I'd say it is one more reason to have certain 'advisors'/'supervisors' to oversee all missions, as I suggested. Particularly with Steve orchestrating missions like these, with no defined leadership beforehand, so far no one is up to address mission plan as a whole and make necessary adjustments and request supplies. That is why, perhaps, such positions are not only optional and volunteer-based, but perhaps even necessary. Of course, that is if we seek competence through organisation and preparation.

I kinda thought that on-mission leadership for non-general-led larger missions would be a responsibility for subcommanders. 'Advisors' would then be for pre-mission prep and more focused on providing gear and such, no?


Also, syv, you shouldn't have told Baldman that! Mostly cause I'm curious if he could've broken his own mission-wrecking record time. Next he'll have to start bringing nukes and detonate them the moment they make planetfall to keep his crown.

Secretly modifying Gilgamesh? Woo boy, you're lucky stuff got in the way of that, or we could've made a hands-on study of the terminal velocity of unfortunate tinkerers on anomalous planetoids.

Exactly. What I meant is with the leadership decided on the spot, pre-mission preparation of scale is pretty much out of question, so 'advisors' should be instituted to plug that gap.

In that case, I need...lets go with 5 people.

First come first serve.
I'd really like to try this... But I think it would be better to allow others to have some fun.

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Thanks PW. I really appreciate it.


So, can someone give me a second opinion on this?  The gun paints a dot, and then you and a chunk of what you're standing on is teleported to the aim point? Did I interpret that right?
