1. Nah, it totally stands for Belkan Surface Warfare Knight. I'm on to you.
There's a difference between 'safe' and 'nonlethal'. Minor change, big implications for us players to consider.
Question: would buying this permanently replace our Barrier Jacket, or could we switch between them? Seems like moving from witch imagery to knight imagery would raise some questions. As far as I remember, most capes rarely make such a dramatic change in theme.
Tim has to build it. Part of it is the magitech aspect, part of it is that he's going to need to do a fairly substantial amount of surgery to implant the reactor and tie her nerves into the connection, and part of it is you think the PRT's going to allow an unknown bio-Tinker to start sticking untested tech into their thirteen-year-old Wards? Ha ha, no.
First answer, Calamity Witch's Ragnarök is the Warring Ages version, the kind you use when your ultimate goal is the total extinction of your opponent's race. The Book of Darkness replaced its original spell with an upgraded version during the Saint King Unification War, since during a civil war wiping out your enemies means you just slaughtered a bunch of your countrymen and collateral damage is something you need to care about. Ragnarök 2.0 is smaller, cheaper, and has a nonlethal setting.
I think rather than answer that myself I'll let myself answer it.
Knight Armor is just a tougher and more expensive Barrier Jacket, just like Hazard Jacket is a weaker and cheaper one.
…Minor might be up for debate.
Given the upcoming Endbringer fight, I'll fully willing to go for a change in theme for more defense. But...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe what it looks like is under our control. I'd bet we could keep most of the old look while adding some armor plates.
Unknown bio-Tinker. Surgery on a Ward. Yes, still blocked. You can thank Bonesaw for that.
Did you even read…?
Given the ongoing problem some people have with reading and how much its frustrated SW, it was a joke in poor taste.
Read Sw's posts to see the occasional frustration over the past, what, six months?
It's one of those things where intentions don't matter that much. SW doesn't have the patience for jokes of that nature, given that the people who seriously make statements like that are really a problem.
I wasn't mad. I was disappointed.
Sure. That said, the chances of Hayate coming to Earth Bet are not much better than nil.
I wasn't mad. I was disappointed.
…Sorry, but I rarely get to say that line with a straight face.
But yes, there are players for whom that would have been a serious statement. It's not everyone, and I think (or at least, I want to believe) that it isn't the same people every time but just otherwise intelligent people having an occasional brain fart. And it does get tedious sometimes, to the point I once threatened to call anyone else who asked a particular question a fucking idiot because I had already answered that question five different times in a two-day span.
That'd help. The problem with written communication is that there aren't enough cues for when something is meant in jest or serious. Not your fault I couldn't tell your comment was a joke; blame the medium.
So what you are saying is we need to introduce Shipwright to the Protectorate so his tech can be tested and approved before they will let him install the arm on Vista? Even then I'm sure the surgery would be under observation.
That, in fact, is not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is good fucking luck at getting this hare-brained scheme approved.
