Point of order, If you are in a position of power in a Nazi-affiliated group, ordering Nazi's to do Nazi things, without any hesitation, then you are a Nazi. Like, that WB WOG is one of the dumbest things he has written. Impurity had a lot to say about the type of people who join Nazi/Racist gangs, and none of it is pretty.
If you want to read something where Lung is, if not a good person than at least a reasonable dude, I'd recommend Dreaming of Foxfire.
Merchants: Probably, they are too dumb not to. Unless whomever Ms Scary Lady works for decides that and preemptively eliminates them.
To quote author A.R. Moxon:
This. He isn't really a "rage dragon", that's basically his own myth-building. He's a gang lord and acts like it. He's a for-profit criminal, not a lunatic and not a literal monster incapable of reason. Not a nice man at all, but being evil doesn't make him stupid.
That would be one hellishly short time to reach MaxQ. Of course, the question then becomes "Can Lung's skeleton stand up to Maximum Dynamic Pressure under those conditions?"
Neither bunker busters or simply ripping his Bond Villain Barbie Dream House out of the ground are viable solutions, given that it's parked under downtown Brockton Bay, and the collateral damage would be unacceptably high.
As someone who is a target of people like Anders, shove it. Lung is not any better than Kaiser and the only difference is in how they react to pressure. Both of them deserve nothing more than a volley of 70lb AAC.
IIRC there's a loophole that you can double post if it's been a long time since the last post, and/or if the new post would add important information that people watching the thread might not otherwise see, but I'm not sure if it's actually mentioned in the rules.
...I wonder if the omission of "fear for their life" (or any equivalent of such) was deliberate or accidental. (I suppose this category might technically qualify under "convenience".)
You're missing the point of what we're saying. What we're saying is that Lung wouldn't be approached at all the way Max was because he'd see it as an insult to be retaliated against.
And once again, you miss what we're saying entirely.
Brockton Bay's problems can't be resolved until the Villains are removed or suppressed because they'd fight the cure. They depend on the city being a hellhole and actively work to further degrade it.
Are you even reading what we're writing, or are you just mauling a strawman? Fuck Kaiser. Fuck Lung. Fuck all the other Gang Villains. They've all made their beds and should be forced to lie in them.
You're literally the only one talking about destroying BB.
They're not reading anything from what we're writing but what they want to. I'd say we're arguing with a brick wall, but I feel like the brick wall would listen.
Why would the FBI or any other federal agency be even aware of Calvert? Calvert will do everything shady in a discarded timeline and leave no tracks. PRT, the experts on parahumans aren't aware of him, the FBI doesn't have any more competency in this area then they do. Neither do the ones who care more, DIA would be the most involved for this issue though. As for the IRS, everyone knows not to cross them so doubt Calvert has. IRS doesn't care that what you do is illegal, just that you pay any taxes due. I think Cauldron is aware of what is going on, and want it to continue, and they have warned Calvert off.
The expectation that federal agencies and the military are going to engage in extra-legal executions of Americans on American territory is laughable. What Anders and Lung deserve is legal due process, arrest and trial, and if convicted, punishment. The trial in absentia that results in a kill order death sentence hasn't happened for either but that is the only real threat that can legally be made to them.
