Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
Remember, it's a 2nd Order world.
In canon, there was a Mech Design Contest in a 2nd Order world, one for basicaly fresh from Uni desigers, and they made those mechs literaly in 12 hours. Novice designers. Custom, if shitty mechs, from nothing to built, in 12 hours.
I'm just thinking about all those poor spies and killers, chasing them through World Wide Meching, while a bunch of friendly mercs wander off with their plot.
Sad.
😭😭
The funniest thing is all the plots are broken, but by something none of them saw coming.
We were all looking a the Fiver kidnapper, and all the other possibles, and now they're in a chase they never though was possible!
I never found out what the Five Scrolls folk were on about, so this will be interesting.
I still want either Bolt or Lily to find out and suplex him, but if I can find out what and why before, that'd be nice.
Ok.
So, the students are going to get a bit of a treat, and some serious whiplash, because Bolt is very different to what they're used to.
And the design debate could be interesting, in of itself.
No, he wasn't.
He's trying to balance his weakness, his cowardice vs the better things he'd like to do, if only he wasn't a coward.
He knows it, and wants to do better, but he's morally too weak.
So, he refuses to kill Pup, even as he keeps doing other terrible things, desperate to...
Huh.
Yet more proof that guy's a coward. When Pup is unwilling to abandon his home, and the guy can't quite understand it, that hits pretty well.
Yeah, I like Pup. He's got potential, and he's a good kid.
I think it's obvious.
It just needs to be turned into a giant space mech, then it'll be fine.
(There might be a few heads that explode in both the MTA and the warship bunch, but they're all a bit much, so why not?)
