They don't need to all be in a row if you're firing what is essentially a small cannon loaded with grape shot at them.  AtomikKrab posted:Do tell, Do Tell. Also, this. Are you planning to backstab your boss for a promotion, in true Cardassian style?

Even I don't bust PTN's balls about his update schedule. You should be ashamed! =P Also, a true Cardassian wouldn't backstab his boss for a promotion, he'd have his boss backstab the guy above him, then secretly turn the boss in and move up two ranks in the process. If you're doing your own backstabbing, you're probably being used.

This isn't quite the same, as he personally backstabbed the guy, thus it was more a Klingon Promotion than a Cardassian Promotion, but exceptional times call for exceptional marksmanship.

A parable on the nature of backstabbing: Once, there was a scorpion walking along the side of a river when he spotted a fox. Approaching the fox, the scorpion called out, "Good fox, I must make my way across the river, but it is quite wide and the current terribly swift; would you be kind enough to carry me across on your back? I would be most grateful to you if you would." But the fox shook his head and replied, "No, I cannot do that; if I carried you on my back, you would sting me and I would die. You are a scorpion, and I cannot trust you not to sting me." The scorpion answered back, "That would be extremely foolish of me; if I were to sting you, I would slip off your back when you went under, and I would perish as well. Surely you must realize that I would not do anything so foolish as to put my own life at risk." The fox considered this line of logic, and finally agreed to take the scorpion across the river. But as the fox was about halfway across the river, he felt the scorpion sting him in the back. Turning his head, feeling the numbness caused by the scorpion's venom spreading through him, he asked, "Why did you do that? Now you'll die, too." And the scorpion said, "I can swim."

But since this is Battletech, the Scorpion would die after accomplishing nothing.

The Fox is Hanse Davion and the scorpion is a stoned clanner. The Fox would win in this scenario, easily.

And then the Blakeists show up with there super advanced battlemechs they had developed and built in total secrecy, and there spies that have been in the Fox, Scorpion, and Viper's organizations for decades despite that not making any sense backstab them at the super perfect time in the most effective way. Wait a sec, that can't possibly be right because it's retarded.

Trast posted:Where do you work again, PTN? If it is retail you have my sympathy. In a bank. Our meetings pretty much consisted of (and I think I can say this without crossing any non-disclosures): "We need at least two people working at all times," "expect our cashflow (in and out) to be significantly higher than normal," and "Try not to get robbed." Not necessarily in that order.

Boogle posted:Wait, so he works for [pretty much every bank ever]? It does happen, I'm sure. We watch for the obvious cues, but some of the money launderers have been in the business for a long time and know plenty of tricks and/or avoid doing anything stupid and obvious (like brining in 4k in twenties and asking for them to be exchanged for hundreds (merchants don't do that, pretty much only drug dealers do)). Since we have a bunch of regulations to follow and they don't (but do know our regulations as well as we do, if they care to look them up online) that can make some things a lot harder to spot.

Looking for a couple of quick updates involving Line of Sight and player intent, since I'm pretty sure the Flashman isn't trying to hide from the Hunchback IIC (he's trying to shoot it) and the Exterminator isn't intentionally trying to get killed by the Kraken this turn. Edit: Also, the Black Knight pilot seems intent on napping through this battle.

The radio crackled. “You Inner Sphere scum fight like tanks,” a voice—which would have been more at home coming from a rock grinder or a banth—growled. “Therefore: you will now be treated like them.” “What does that—I don’t even—” Acolyte Cherenkov began. He was cut off as the massed firepower of two Clan machines cut his own to ribbons. His heat spiked as that damnedable King Crab’s autocannons tore his engine shielding apart; then breathed a silent prayer in relief as the magnetic ‘bottle’ kept the plasma contained. The last thing he wanted was to be helpless this close—but his armor diagnostics painted a grim picture; his ‘Mech had been stripped of all but the illusion of protection. Another concentrated assault and he was in real trouble—worse, the Clanners seemed to know it, drawing back from their exposed positions to force the Com Guards to close. All but that damned Hunchback, at least—that was three down, with no losses in return. The small Clan Quad he’d been targeting once again took to the air—the bizarrely splayed jump jet nozzles emitting an actual—not figurative—rainbow of plasma. Some Clan technician, or possibly ‘Mech designer, had gone to curious and terrifying extremes with the design—rather than simply letting the jet plasma do what it wanted; they’d focused it carefully so those jets that were at risk of causing even cosmetic heat damage to the design’s paint were cool enough that they probably couldn’t cook an egg—while those towards the outer edge which gave the greatest lift were potentially hot enough to—the bizarre Clan design’s leg kicked backwards—from a higher level, a mule kick like that could be deadly; but the building it was standing on was far too high; and the Clan pilot had to know that… A sudden burst of plasma jetted from the ‘Mech’s leg; scouring armor from the Lynx like an anti-‘Mech flamethrower. Able to create enough thrust to propel the forty-ton Clan design into the air for a few seconds, it wasn’t the heat that caused damage but the impact of ionized gasses traveling near the speed of light. Cherenkov wobbled, but kept his feet even as the lightweight Clanner jetted away. “Goddamn these Clan assholes—” he muttered into the comms. “I’m in serious trouble, Kelly.” Enemy Forces / Next Turn’s Movement: F1 King Crab IIC reversed 1 to hex 1113!

There goes the Hunchback. Too bad the Lynx won't be long in joining him now that the clanners have abandoned Zell. e: Shouldn't the Hunchie have CASE? e+: Also, you have F5 shown on the map as F6. Might confuse someone, as there is no F6. e++: Also, I don't see R3 on the map anywhere. KnoxZone fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Jul 26, 2011 |

Jeez you guys have been so lucky that the clanners haven't quite managed to kill any of you and win initiative. Just keep skirting death comstar!

I'm not sure how the "fight like tanks" comment comes across as an insult considering it's the Hell's Horses unless in this timeline they don't use combined arms approaches. Either that or they're saying vehicles don't have to adhere to zell.  That aside, good to see the Hunchback get taken out finally in what I'm sure would be a very nice visual display. Unfortunately I can't really recall any of the novels ever adequately describing what it looks like when a Gauss Rifle explodes. Angry_Ed fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Jul 26, 2011 |

Lynx should just keep pulling the trigger as long as he's got anything to shoot with. There's three ComStar mechs nearing death very quickly now: at least two pilots are candidates for passing out, falling down and sleeping tightly. All it takes is one hit in the head... I'm not sure which side will win. Clanners still have a shot at it, if they can produce two kills in a row very soon now. One is easy, but two? That takes luck or

Jump jet plasma "near the speed of light"? Noo.... no. No. Not even in bizarro-science Mechwarrior universe. They're not either sending particles-having-mass out through their nozzles at relativistic velocities.

Okay, you guys are pretty torn up and I think they're at wits' end. I'm tempted to suggest focusing all fire on the King Crab IIC, it's got ten critseekers (with potentially 2 shots per gun) and gunnery 0. Now that a lot of your mechs have open armor, taking it down immediately is paramount. But this is just a tentative suggestion.

That's exactly what they're saying. Only 'Mechs and Aerospace Fighters have to adhere to Zell, not tanks or vehicles or infantry - but 'mechs don't have to adhere to Zell when shooting at things which don't adhere to Zell, either. Basically, they've declared that ComStar all fight under non-Zell rules, which means they're free to focus fire on them in return. Guess what happens when the Clans, with their massively advanced technology, incredible range advantage, and superior skills start to focus fire and ignore their honor code rules of engagement? The Inner Sphere cries. It cries like a little bitch. Soylent Pudding posted:Physics is LosTech. I laughed.

quote:R5 Lynx  Took that beating like an absolute champ, although heat's possibly going to be a problem if it weren't for the fact you already sink so damned much and don't exactly have high heat weapons. Also it looks like the Black Knight is done with his nap, didn't realize it at first.

KnoxZone posted:e: Shouldn't the Hunchie have CASE? Indeed. But it also should have taken a critical chance to the centre torso: R6 Starslayer posted:- Fires Large Laser at F4 Hunchback IIC (2 base + 0 range + 3 movement + 0 enemy movement + 2 EM Interference = 7): rolled 10, hit Center Torso (0/22 armor, 10/16 structure remains)!
