Jack Catar is interested in these bonus credits.  He participated in the defense of Hephaestus.  As to the dual name thing.  I think I will stick with Jack and chalk Theodore up to problems with being in stasis.

Dubley definitely wants his tokens. He participated in the defense, as well as the ship boarding. And he was teamkilled both times.

[Xantalos]

Accidentally.

The what?

Alarith made a character named Jack. Then he found out there was already a Jack, so he renamed him Theodore. Then he changed the name back to Jack for some reason. Now he's blaming it all on stasis dementia.

Since I didn't explicitly say it before, I definitely want some tokens. And if there's enough to go around, I wouldn't mind getting a token or two for Felix's contribution, as well.

[renegadelobster]

I'm sure Thaddeus wouldn't mind some of those tokens. Was in the bio-horror, defense of Hephaestus, and ship boarding.

I know what I know, but I don't know what you know I know.
Or something like that.

John Galt I know is the patron saint of fetch, enemy to zone x's everywhere, who can split mountains with a whisper, and has a bit of a cult of personality. Any bells rung?

Cause if not beats me. Only one I know.

[Yoink]

Yep. I'm rather bored right now, so my post coherency is decreasing.
I know, though. Noble family, complicated relationship with women, sense of honor of some sort...
Jobasio.

B-but Jobasio doesn't know nothi- aw who am I kidding.
Clearly, he'll have to kill a vet when captured by a force of UWM soldiers as a way to prove his loyalty to them, then infiltrate their army and bang some UWM chick who eventually shoots him a few times with a gauss rifle as he rides away on a hoverbike.

I feel the need to remind you that Grate only recovers from death, not injury. So he won't be able to move in on any spine-breaking gigs, unless Jim is very thorough in his spine-breaking.

I'm not that good with anatomy, but if he breaks his spine high enough, wouldn't that make his lungs stop working?

"C 3,4,5 keeps the diaphragm alive" was what I was taught so fractures at C6 or below ought not to interfere with breathing (though I don't recommend trying it out based on my rather shaky neuroanatomy), there's a reason that a particular fracture at C2 (strictly speaking a fracture of the Pedicles of C2 due to hyperextension of the neck) is called a Hangman's FractureThis is of course assuming that the spinal trauma is all that is inflicted since there's no point preserving the neurological function if the target's lungs are currently filled with blood and sitting six feet away from the rest of the target...

Ah, I see. A quick wiki walk based on the terms you gave me seems to support what you said. I guess then that with the forces we're dealing with in this game, you're more likely to get decapitated than have your spine broken high enough for your lungs to stop working, since the phrenic nerve indeed starts from C 3-5 which are somewhere above the neck based on this picture: http://www.medicalexhibits.com/obrasky/2007/07017_02A_facets.jpg
Thanks for the info.

Maybe? I'll freely admit that I've never read Atlas Shrugged.

[TCM]

Are we listing all the John Galt's we know. I knew this John Galt I lent thirty dollars too, and that punk bitch never paid me back. Though that might have be John Gerald or something.

[Caellath]

@Corsair: According to the turn, the ships we boarded are already under Steve's control and already fired upon the UWM-controlled ones.

Probably for the best. You can believe rand's rather hopelessly naive and selfish philosophy all you want, but she really wasn't a good writer. I forget if it's AS or Fountain head where she had like a 70 page conversation between two characters which was basically just her talking straight to the reader, building bad arguments and then knocking them down to make her position look good.  I mean, it was common for books of the kind to do shit like that (The Jungle's last 20 pages was basically just OH GOD I LOVE COMMUNISM SO MUCH! OH GOD!) but that doesn't make it right. Thats why the good social commentary sci-fi blended things relatively seamlessly, your 1984's, brave new worlds, We's, Fahrenheit 451's, etc.

I'm pretty sure Radio knows that I'm still active in ER, but just in case:  Steve Saint wants those bonus tokens!  His first mission was defense of hephaestus, and he got killed by our own cannons in both phases.  >.>

He's had a very fitting career. I feel like, if someone tallied all the deaths in ER, at least 50% would be teammate related.
