Told to make an edit, so I did. I'mma need some of you people to check my post, see if the editor screwed anything up and I just can't see it on my end or not.

I have returned in my form as Captain Pointless Tangent!

Something a lot of people seem to get wrong, and I know I got wrong until last year, when I took an interest and started finding things out, is to assume that some things with regard to heavy weapons are wholly generalized, such as the difference between an SLBM-carried nuclear warhead and a tactical nuke, which is actually quite severe, but the level of cultural crap around anything nuclear leads a lot of people to assume that "Nuke" means "City killer bomb".

Even the smaller SL-and-IR-BMs have the potential to leave lots of people and buildings standing within their "Effective range" and tactical nukes, why, they can have as little as ten-tonnes-TNT-equivalent, which is basically a big truck filled with TNT in a package less than a meter square, enough to level a good-size building, and cause some big problems radiation-wise, but hardly the equal of, say, a ten-kiloton strategic warhead, which outright annihilates everything with a good half-kilometer.

Orr a twenty-megaton bomb, which makes everything within about ten miles hotter than the surface of the sun for fifteen seconds, and blinds anyone looking the wrong way in a fifty-hundred mile radius.

Random pointless tangent over. For now. Captain Pointless Tangent shall return!

Oh yeah, I actually knew about that. I knew that tactical nukes were meant to be, well tactical, in that they're building-leveling explosives in a tiny package, as used in Command and Conquer Generals where you have a type of mortar that fires tactical nukes to take out buildings in basically one shot.

And then out of all of those, the most fun is the Tsar bomb, and those who don't know about it, google it.

Trivia for ya, the Tsar Bomba, a fifty-megaton doomsday device, actually detonated with half of its potential yield because a component was replaced with lead due to fallout concerns.

Wow. Wait. The RUSSIANS were worried about fallout? I... I don't think the USSR's scientists cared about stuff like that. Russia wasn't the most ethical of nations at that point in time.

That big an explosion would probably have a worse effect than the Chernobyl incident, what with at least a cubic kilometer of dirt being irradiated and launched into the upper atmosphere. Boom.

I didn't say I wasn't GLAD they stopped, I just can't believe they thought about the negative effect it might have on other people. Irradiated land doesn't hurt them, the big people can just relocate, that's why they do the tests out in Siberia where no one but peasants get hurt.

That wasn't what I assumed, but even Chernobyl affected most of the world with fallout. You can't get away from something that big. Hell, even something like Fukishima got crap as far east as where I live.

Act VII is up for SSBMFG2.

(Really should try to get Hellstorm up again, that seems like a good idea to MST!)

*Kills with fire*

Dammit, I cannot do my thing without the power of the EoTB!

DO A THING!

Actually, given what you are, it would totally make sense for you to siphon power from the update terminal to do stuff.

Combat Operandi do not have levels, and Rock Solo is a Megaman reference (Rock Buster!) and not an actual guitar solo. Did you even read the description of your OWN attacks? Or Twin's responses to them, for that matter? I kind of really have to ask.

Also the issue of you capitalizing far too many words.

Don't forget the talking for other characters. Despite Twin having asked you many, many times not to, IN BIG CAPS AND BOLD.

Punctuation is dead because of you.

At this point I almost wish that we had a complete First Guardian flipout font so that Twin could use it whenever he's sufficiently ticked off.

Oh yes, please. Or at least a set of letter gifs that would flash like FirstGuardianFlipout!SHE HAS WHAT does.

Someone should make something like that.

That'd be pretty cool. But the others are right pricey. I try to defend other people when they're getting attacked on this thread but...

I can't really defend you. You've violated rule 0 (What the GM says goes) in over half of your posts total, and do so at least once every round. Take the hints, and start actually paying attention to what the GM tells you. It is getting extremely annoying.

An angry First Guardian font would be so ridiculously amazing. You don't even know.

I am am not going to bother defending Pricey. He cannot follow the rules, and that is all there is to say on the matter. However, I think there is a language barrier. Perhaps he cannot read our responses?
