Virlutris - Secret member of the Death Commandos, plays MwO to teach newcoming agents, why sometimes meta shouldn't not be used in the way they're thinking.
PS: Sorry, but I'm not very humorous...

[MarineTech]

ManganMan has the amazing ability to speak to trees. He carries on long conversations with them. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability to understand trees, so the conversations are very one sided.

[Virlutris]

Marine Tech is a known ringleader in the systematic genocide of trees.

He hates that they won't respond to him when he shares his poetry with them.

So if a tree won't offer feedback, he burns the poetry in question on a bonfire made from the tree that wouldn't reply.

It's a strong response, sure, but leaves little doubt where he stands on the value of feedback for poets.

I think you got it just right for the tone of the thread

It doesn't have to be uproariously funny, it's just got to be a made up fact with some amusement to it. You got it just fine.

Now back to training n00bs in un-meta so I can farm them later

Virlutris once forcefully extruded aluminum foil from an ingot by hand. The most interesting caveat of this fact is the ingot was iridium and contained absolutely no aluminum.

XPhR has a deep and abiding love for the aesthetics of mushroom clouds. He finds them utterly fascinating. This makes him popular at Word of Blame (edit: this was an uninteded misspelling but amuses me; leaving it) functions anywhere in the Inner Sphere.

Which, by the way makes a great party trick at the metalworkers union's annual BBQ.

Virlutris once stole a whole three planet solar system to manipulate into the universes biggest fidget spinner. It was quite the spectacle until gravitational forces rendered the entire system into a very dimly lit series of churning asteroid belts.

XphR has a hobby that's fast becoming his lifetime Great Work:

He wants to design a working hand radio from ice.

He's actually cracked one of the hardest problems, getting conduction between the components.

Now he's got to figure out transmission, holding enough charge, and combating the effects of fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels.

I'm impressed ... and worried ...

[Sparks Murphey]

Virlutris engineered the Sun Spider out of paperclips, spare change, and one live goliath scorpion.

[Virlutris]

Sparks secretly farms solar energy by mounting solar cells on the backs of Goliath Scorpions.

No one would ever know, if he didn't personally sign the underside of each of the panels.

Ask me how I know ...

[Tank]

I blame you for supplying me those panels, now my Urbies are green and mean.

[Son of the Flood]

When not in the battlezone, Tank's mean, green, Urbies pursue their favorite eco-friendly hobby....acting as recycling bins. Once a Jenner tried to recycle a non-recyclable container in Tank's Urbie. The Urbie responded by kicking the Jenner in the ball bearings.

[Spare Parts Bin]

I Spare Parts Bin, only bathes in the finest 5W30 synthetic oils.

Edited by Spare Parts Bin, 19 February 2018 - 07:00 PM.

[Lithology]

Spare Parts Bin, despite only bathing in the finest synthetic oils, cannot find a way to truly mask its own organic signature, and has to resort to occasionally leaving accessory airlocks open when in the dropship to eliminate the fumes, and thus remain largely undetected by the sensitives.

There will be those that will keep trying to isolate that organic signature, and this will no doubt continue between drops (what else is there to do?), but for now, Spare Parts Bin remains in the rotation. There are those that wonder how long, though...

Lithology has fallen into obsession with Green M&Ms and Hostess Snowballs and massive raids have been undertaken to satisfy these compulstions. How long is to be determined.......

[Windscape]

Spare Parts bin fell into a state of dormancy a few years ago.
He awoke and began to contemplate his existence as a spare parts bin.
He still seeks his true purpose.

[Lithology]

Windscape walked into a bar, but the bar got a little cross after that happened... thereafter, it soon became known that the bar and Windscape simply settled their differences by attempting to out drink one another. It seems the bar doesn't remember what transpired after that, and may have gotten a little bent in the process.

[Son of the Flood]

Lithology has always dreamed of becoming a "rock star". His first band was named Gneiss Schist and they topped Alaska's alt rock chart with their hit love song "Cummingtonite".

[Lithology]

Son of the Flood has unfortunately lived in the shadow of its parental unit, but has progressed remarkably from being known as only a more youthful version of a traumatic event for folks on the lowlands. In fact, Son of the Flood has been successfully marketing medallions with encouraging epithets engraved in them for several years, garnering millions for its holdings!

[Son of the Flood]

Lithology is on the leading edge of technology (I dare say a "guru") and is idolized by "early adopters" everywhere. He is, in fact, the first ever Twitter user. At that time real birds were used to deliver the tweets and the number of characters was only limited by the carrying capacity of said birds. Once Lithology had a particularly large .gif of a dog nodding it's head saying "yes" affixed to a tweet (he wanted to make sure his audience knew he vehemently agreed with Huggies, in the famous Huggies vs Pampers debate). The bird was exhausted and unfortunately perished before the tweet reached Lithology's feed.

Lithology now only sends .gifs by UPS and has been curiously left off the invite list for this year's Ducks, Turkey, and Carrier Pigeons Unlimited banquets......
