*CRK*ddam pig? With robot legs? And they think it can take down some multi-ton hovering leviathan? Jesus, what are they smoking? From what I've picked up about the DREADNAUTILUS, I can tell you it's going to crush the pig into a pile of grease, hair, and bits of steel. ... What? No! Well sure, the thing is dumb, but it's loving 600 million years of evolution trained to kill, and it flies! ... Well ok, but I take radio orders from those guys under the mountain sometimes, but that doesn't mean I forget how to load magazines and slit throats whenever a storm busts up the radio towers. You think it's going to decide not to attack the pig when contact gets cut? That radio connection goes down, everyone is getting hit, pig included. Besides, it has three radio antennas and an armored shell, and who knows what kind of hosed up brain layout. The pig has one thin skull hanging out of steel suit it probably can't even drive well. *CRKK* SSSSid they say the pig was super intelligent? No? Well hey man, I don't know what kind of irradiated chemical factory you grew up in, but pigs have four legs. This thing is the newest toy designed by a bunch of dumb eggheads who haven't even seen the sun. It probably can't even walk that well. And hey, even if its magic guns take down the DREADNAUTILUS, the thing will probably get crushed and strangled to death while the leviathan is bleeding out. *CK* No, save me a seat. Away from those leech worshiper guys, yeah.

*SSS*EY, DREADNAUTILUS CONTROLLER GUYS! I saw a picture of that pig, and unlike just about everyone living on this blasted planet, he doesn't have any goggles. Your guy has a laser, yeah? Who gives a poo poo about inaccurate guns? Just start washing that area of the camp with a wide-angle beam right off, and don't stop till you hear the pig's eyes pop. Bet his fancy guns don't work quite so well when he's flailing around inside a demolished shed wishing he still had eyes to cry with. Hah! And who knows, maybe it'll gently caress up the optical systems on the guns too. *CRK SSS* Diet Mountain Dew?! What kind of limp-wristed nancy... I found a whole backyard shelter filled to the brim with cases of that poo poo a mile back. It'll burn right? I'm gonna go back and burn it.

Whoa now, don't start it quite yet. My dune buggy got decommissioned when I ramped it over some lumbering hive-elk drone on the road. My blood was all angry about this fight and I mistook it for a warthog when I was about a half-mile away. By the time I got close enough to see different, I was going 90. Thing's probably down to about the right number of legs now, but my buggy went all Crazy Max like in those old picture tapes. I'll be limping the last few miles.

All ya'll Dreadnautilus-lovers is overlookin somethin. Ya'll can't see past tha big shiny guns. That thar hog's got somethin yer trussed up snail ain't: guts. He's mean, he's stubborn, and he likes to wrastle. And these here slums? They's his mud, his natur-all el-e-ment.


*CRK*e hell it is! Guts implies that he can overcome whatever weak mammal fear he has. That nautilus kills by instinct and doesn't have any fear. drat thing would probably crush the pig even in its death throes. Back when it was a baby it probably ate most of its siblings without a second thought. And if we're talking natural elements, which I'm not sure a big ol' critter like you has, you're wrong again. Yeah the nautilus is used to swimming around underwater, but you know what the closest thing to swimming is above water? Flying. That pig's natural element is rooting around in rice fields and mud on four legs, not crammed halfway into some two-legged steel clown suit.

Huh... kind of a tough one.

It seems like he's kind of already dead, so I don't think the mosquito can do much. Plus, I always liked snakes.

I got the painter app up and running on this wrist-computer, and I think the fight is gonna go something like... this:

It's not a straight up KO from the looks of it. Sure, the Sturgeon is a huge tank cyborg, but it doesn't look like he can actually use that sword of his. Who knows though. I'll bet a plastic "Wal-Mart" bag full of shivs on ##The Sturgeon General

The bag has a happy face on it, and most of the shivs are made of metal, with electrical tape grips.

I already placed my bet, but I just thought I'd throw together my prediction for this battle. Bulldogs are bred to bite and hold on. That only works against one target.


On second thought though, if that dog actually IS smart, he might ditch the hulk and turn tail.

Ugh... too much celebration. What's going on now?

Well, logic dictates that the dolphin will win. He has sonic navigation, which renders smoke grenades useless... and it's likely that his sonic stuff will interfere with the bat. Also fists suck at punching through metal... but this might end up more like a sumo wrestler match. Even with the dolphin advantages though, freaking everyone is voting for the bat. Maybe you all know something I don't? Let's see. Ok, heads the bat, tails the dolphin...

Looks like my bet's on ##Count Smackula. I hope his curse isn't "making everyone vote for him and lose their money"

I don't want to sound like I'm going with the crowd here, but I gotta put my bet on ##Sting Kong. I can't help but dislike big idiot brutes with hammers after all the mutants I've run up against in the wastelands. And I admire the purity and streamlined effectiveness of the scorpion ape. Always bet on the ice-blooded killers over the angry brutes.

Plus, I'm getting a "Smash Gordon" vibe from fishboy. Even if Sting Kong isn't nearly as impressive as the Sturgeon General, I think we'll see a similar outcome.


Oh yeah, I'll wager this cold fusion jar I found last year.

The power output is barely enough to run a clock radio, and you have to put a few drops of ant-venom in there every few weeks to keep it running, but I guess it's useful for something. You know, I'm not even sure this runs on cold fusion. I think someone said that just because it's blue.
