this dood wants me banned for hugging...



is that a thing now?

can't I hug people anymore and just unload all my meta surms?!?



EDIT:

so I met my friend again... he has a tendency to run ERLL boats and stay far away from the fight...

so I made my way to him and 'hugged' him again with my oxide...



so apparently to him there is 'good' hugs and 'bad' hugs...

OK... its the wrong bear... but I still thought the pic fit the theme

It's not our fault all of the mechs have their arms stretched out for a perfect hugging position!

Ban is justified. Op did not use a huginn for hugging.

[Airwind]

you should counter-report him for hugging and path obstruction. everywhere you wanted to go, there he is in front of you. god dammit the people. makes me rage every time that happens and i have to alpha them to death.

As a side note, this is just another reason why a suicide button is needed. A situation you know you're not going to escape anyway? Reactor overload, boom. Hug that.

The problem with that theory however is that following the lore, these are not fission reactors (the type we know for RL and sadly see every few years "strike through to calm the nerves of some special snowflakes here" in the news such as Chernobyl or Fukushima), but small fusion reactors.

The difference in theory is that Fission reactors go bang like a burst balloon because they need constant cooling and a process to slow down the reaction. If this process does not work, then the nuclear reaction goes out of control and you have a melt down.

Fusion reactors on the other hand just kind of fizzle out and maybe implode a little depending on the type. Fusion reactors need massive electromagnets around the core to actually keep the reaction working, if these get breached or stop working, then the reaction itself can not carry on and just fizzles out like an embarrassing wet fart in a closed car (the gas spreads out too far apart to keep on reacting, but doesnt do much else).

This is also the reason why the so called Battletech Stackpoling of reactors (named after the author who apparently liked the idea of these mechs going nuclear that he used it multiple times) is so laughed about.

EDIT: Strikethrough on a few words which got some people too excited to read the rest of the post)

Ah yes, lore things... Well, given the amount of energy produced by these reactors, I'm fairly sure they could be rigged to blow up with a press of a button if so desired. "Reactor overload" might be an inaccurate way of putting it, but it sounds cooler than plain "self-destruct".

Also it'd just be a cool feature to have, call it what you will.

The way I see it was his movements and positioning weren't that great which ended up in the hug. I was once going toe to toe with a king crab in a firestarter and I made a bad move which ended up with him hugging me and pinning me against a wall, thus trapping me. I managed to kill him before his weapons reloaded luckily but otherwise I fish caught in a net ready for him to slaughter. It's a valid tactic and one that can be avoided with good movement and positioning.

Huggin' was nerfed ages ago.

Now the call is for Oxiding to get you banned

it's justified then coz I was (ab)using an oxide...+
