So....ALL guns are kaput?

[Zook Murnig]

Honestly, I've only seen a few quests for guns before, and the difficulty and score required to get said guns seemed to be related to the power of said gun.

For example, it was not hard for Leon Adalbert to get a flintlock. He basically participated in a gun-running thread, picked one up, and used it for a bit. It was not an incredibly powerful gun, and it took a while to load each shot. Therefore, it was easier to procure.

However, in the same thread, another character grabbed a semi-automatic handgun and tried to get that as a spoil. No go. In fact, she was allowed the gun, but it was broken and she needed to go through another quest to find someone who could forge the correct part to fix it. So, really, she was allowed the powerful handgun, but couldn't use it until she completed another thread to get it.

Ok, so just so we're clear.

I can use a rail gun from a chopper to comepletely destroy everything, right?

I've had quests with teleporters, energy cannons, and weapons of mass destruction score fine. I think a rail gun is pretty mellow.

Visla, that was actually a reference to something the big oldies will remember.

. .keeps people who get off on frivolous regulation happy.

I still don't think you're getting the connection;

Hoops. You. Jump through. Gun. Broken. More hoops. Jump through. Fixed. Hoops. RoG. Jump through. Denied.

Why do you need gunz when you can has mind lazors?

I guess I just don't care to remember it, since I've been present since the site's founding.

[Silence Sei]

Really? And you don't remember the Face-Ice Reaver war, with the whole controversy cuz hybriheero had bought a rail gun and used it to mow down PCs?

And don't make me eat humble pie again. Joik.

I remember that way way way back when I first registered, I gave my character a gun and a sword. Everyone was way less anal retentive about that sort of shit back then; RevolverGate, which happened after mods made you choose between having a sword and a gun and guns were way more valuable and one dude chose a gun and then sold it to buy a Prevalida sword...Well, that was still years away. Anyway, back to my gun: I fucking forgot I had it until like three levels later.

I don't know if it was because the sword was more fun or what, but there it is. God, what was it about Althanas back then that was so magical that no one ever powergamed a guy with a gun against a guy with a sword? Or they did, but sword guy powergamed right back and the mods ignored it.

Because the mods new the best way ton dish out justice.

WITH REVENGE!
