I once got reported for wallhacking because I one-shot someone from behind in a Nova because I came around the corner to a 'mech that had his back turned to me and was not aware I was there and my 60 points of damage to his rear side torso and IS XL engine caused him to drop like a sack of potatoes. Been reported for other silly things too that I can't remember the details of in the past. No action has ever been taken against me, probably because I'm not actually doing anything unreasonable and the only people who think its unreasonable is the guy I just did it to.

I got accused of hacking when I stood in a great spot for erppc/gauss sniping and got 5 kills.
In group queue where the communication should have been ok.
In a spot that I would have gotten wrecked in if someone had come up and brawled me. In a mech that didn't have ECM.

I just laughed and said thanks for the compliment. I normally am terrible with those weapons..

Oxidizing



It's always happening, sometimes it's faster than others.

edit: and I want this as a Deckckkkal for my oxide


and for those who haven't had/forgotten chemistry:

Almost as scary as any blue TDG symbol when first responders show up.

Blue = interacts with water, usually in either poisonous or explosive ways.

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 in the news such as Chernobyl or Fukushima), but small fusion reactors.

Every few years? Count the number of reactor accidents that resulted in the release of radioactivity in measurable quantity to the environment in the history of nuclear reactors. I bet you only need one hand. Every few years my a$$...

Of all the accidents you could cite, Chernobyl would be the only one with significant long term impacts. And that reactor was a breeder reactor for plutonium to make bombs, designed with a lack of safety in mind in favor of making Pu as fast as possible. Don't even start with me on nuclear safety...

yup hugging was banned people i see you do it i get you muhahahahah.

Nope, it wasn't.

And FYI, filing false reports is a violation of the CoC, so if you're actually reporting people for "hugging" then YOU could be banned.

Kinda like how I was once accused of hacking because my MurderMets (3xUAC5, 3xMLs) chewed through 30 points of rear armor in less than 2 seconds when I got behind him at point blank range.

Chernobyl - 1986
Fukushima - 2011

You and I have very different definitions for "every few years".

Huggin' was nerfed ages ago.

Now the call is for Oxiding to get you banned

Apparently, Rusting a mech to the ground, at a very fast rate of decay, has become a bad problem lately

You seem to have lived a little too close to one of those in the list... if you can count them on

I'll note I've actually killed someone who was legged and had their other leg bright red by hugging them. I hugged them...TO DEATH. I was also out of ammo.

Was once in a match where it was down to 2 mechs (both with no weapons. We had a crit CT Dire Wolf on our team and they had a crit CT Atlas on their team.

I would say it was less hugging, and more ramming, but about 8+ minutes of continuous ramming later, we one with like 30seconds left . It was pretry great.

An interesting list for sure, but you were implying the likes of Fukijima or Chernobyl happen every few years. Just looking at the U.S. list as an example, most of the accidents relate to equipment failure that were no where near catastrophic. Things like... Steam pipe broke, or diesel generator failed, etc... Stuff that I am sure any facility would suffer from. I'd hate to look at the incident reports on coal, natural gas, etc... power plants too.

Anything remotely concerning happens in the 1950 ~ 1960 when it was like...partial meltdown because we are just learning how this new fission thing works.

Real serious issues like Chernobyl was due to a rushed build schesule, improper materials for cost savings, a poor reactor design that couldn't detect a massive hotspot at its core, and human error brought on by not following procedures and intentionally taxing a reactor beyond spec to satisfy the Soviet Communist Party.

Fukijima was a bit more due to poor location and use of an old outdated reactor design. A massive earthquake and tsunami will wreck about anything, but add an obsolete reactor design by GE from the 1950s or 60s that never was replaced and that doesn't help one bit.

Really Japan probably shouldnt run Nuclear Power Plants, but their resources are limited which limits their options for power generation.

Besides, how else are you going to make Godzilla?

Congrats, you can wikipedia search. But I said, "that released measurable levels of radiation to the environment." Go count those. Almost everything in that article was releases that were either contained or immeasurable.

[MeiSooHaityu]

BTW, thought I'd share this anyway. It is a radiation exposure chart. It details how much radiation you are exposed to (or can be exposed to) depending on your activities...



I like how living within 50 miles of a Nuclear Power Plant exposes you to the same level of radiation as eating a banana . Also notice that living within 50 miles of a coal power plant exposes you to 3 times the level of radiation as the nuclear plant. It's a bummer that carbon is radioactive huh? lol.

P.S. I like how sleeping next to someone also exposes you to radiation (again carbon), so funny.

I hug a enemy mech every time i am forced into doing conquest. either i kill the enemy mech or i get killed. in any case i did my part and got out of the stupid scenario.

[jonfett]

IDK, but I think we should be able to give hugs to teammates who endlessly berate and grief you for doing a horrible job and causing them to lose. They are so sad, they obviously need It and it would cheer them up...

What is truly scary is the purple TB - reacts violently or explosively after eating Taco Bell.
