Wait wait, why would an enormous synthflesh robot tailor made for murder and death be considered equipment, but a robobody or flesh sac not? A brain is wearing those just as much! You're all just racist against albinos D:

We could institute the Matryoshka metric, which would measure the different layers of materials surrounding a brain as a way to grade bodies and armour/defensive equipment.

So a flesh body has 1 MM because it's a brain surrounded by flesh.
A robobody has 1 MM because it's a brain surrounded by machines.
A synthflesh body has 2 MM because it's a brain surrounded by machines, surrounded by synthflesh.
An exoskeleton or MK3 gives +1 MM because it's another layer of machines.
A battlesuit or equivalent gives +2 MM because it's another layer of machines and armour.
A forcefield or a shield automanipulator or milnoplate gives +1 MM because it's another layer of armour.
An avatar has 4 MM because it's a brain surrounded by flesh surrounded by machines surrounded by synthflesh surrounded by armour.

Of course, there are exceptions that should be considered with that system, but I think it works well for most cases. And on it's own it's not very good because it doesn't account for weapons, only armour.

sure but you would be placed in the heavy league with battle suits and robo bodies

I eat battlesuits for breakfast.

I'd like to see you try.
No, really, I do, I've been coming up with strategies to use against AoWs since I first got Gilgamesh. It'd be fun to try them out and see what works in real ER life conditions.

yah, that is how the leagues should be organized. I am building the pit IC right now.

Just so you know... I know it's not sportsmanlike not to do in "in the flesh", but maybe we should actually use Duel for its intended purpose? I know it sounds crazy (heretical, even! no one dare try touch Duel to duel someone!) but using VR-world would make it far easier to customize the loadout of each particular participant. And that way we could do away with permadeaths in fights (outside the tourney is fair play, if the first attempt's noble tradition is to be honored!) and maybe even allow us Hephestians participate.

We could even have multiple fight categories - and I request that at least one would be the pure "fight club" type, with every participant given a very fleshy, very vanilla human body (regardless of their current condition, equipment, modifications, etc.).

((For those who wonder what I'm talking about, 'Duel' is actually a VR program, like 'Tinker' or 'Battle for Hexbarax'. Yes, it exists. It has been introduced alongside with Tinker, slightly after the beginning of ER. And it has never, ever been used to duel another character.))

shhh....stop ruining my chances o f getting free loot and tokens!

[fillipk]

Well my character would avoid this too, being timid and squeamish around violence, not to mention not having any tokens to enter with, but me as a player likes this idea.

you could just give a piece of equipment over, or any high explosives to my char. You would receive change in return

[fillipk]

I'm good, I actually like my equiptment.

Well the recruit level is open, in it you will fight other newbs, drunk monkyes with knives, and sods

Miya has always problems. Guess there's a downside with AoWs.

Miya has always problems. Such is life in Avatars of Wars.

Aww, I'm all sad now. Guess I'll have to console myself with comfort food. Now where did Irony leave that flavor chart?

You could get an MMI or some other software/hardware thingamajig and obtain a robobody that you'd control on ship, kind of like Steve does with the synthflesh thing. You could have it go around and fight people, and if they don't like it you can tell them to take it up with you in person.

Of course, it'd have to be... radio controlled.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

CLEAR HEAD WITH GENUINELY ATTRACTIVE GUYS

UHHHH WHO IS ATTRACTIVE...UMMMM...Jim is a robot, Charro is jelly, Simus is probably already playing with Maurice's test tube, Ivan looks like a stag beetle crossed with Satan, Travis seems asexual, Chin is hung like a horse but you cut off his foot so he's probably mad at you...GOD DAMN IT! It's like picking the flavor of your cyanide pill!

You mean this chart? 

[Toaster]

Gasoline and explosives cost money, but you can get a ton of gasoline for one token, if you feel like spending it.

That said, you can get very high proof booze for free.

[NAV]

Huh, gasoline was free last time I asked for it.

I just want to make a frickin pipe bomb!

Wonder what would happen if Milno used his gauntlet to make a braincase, put a brain in there and then absorbed the braincase. Would the brain be eaten by the gauntlet too? We know the gauntlet can store simple organic compounds inside it since it could store rocket rifle rounds and those things have fuel in them. So would the brain be considered "ammo" for the braincase? EDIT: I guess he could try absorbing a fridge to test it with something simpler, like an apple. Plus, think of the advantages of being able to bring lunch for the entire team.

Also, since the gauntlet allows for remote control, Milno should be able to kill people with braincases with his mind if he gains full knowledge of them. Like using an amp but probably a bit harder.
