@Guywhobuildsstuff and if I mutiny for matters relating to bad command?
And why wouldn’t you… okay, that’s sounds kind of bad here. Not a joke just actually realizing.
@Dracul0Anderson Nice.
However, I have… a theory:
Graingy, the company, plans to win.
They have research interest in the Eel population, but couldn’t be bothered to deal with the MWBS themselves, so they chucked a couple hundred million at Grain Guy and told them to go nuts.
Again, only a theory, but I believe they’re basically just waiting for the whole thing to blow over.
So as long as they believe that the Eel Protectorate and it’s makeshift forces is a match for the anti-Eel group, they stay by the sidelines.
However, as soon as they believe that the Eel Protectorate has been outshone, that is when I think they’ll get involved.
Essentially, I think we need to plan on an eventual loss, or at least withdrawal. We aren’t trying to win, we are just raiders, in @Guywhobuildsstuff’e case (they want the car batteries), or vengeance-seekers, like me. The point of using force is to create openings that we can use to grab/do what we want to accomplish. Actually trying to win, fully and completely, is a death sentence.
By all means, give it a shot, just know that I will not be standing next to you when a cruise missile (“Party Tube(TM)”) emblazoned with the Graingy logo comes crashing through your wall.
@Mousewithamachinegun123 I gave Graingy the account. For a while my account was already being used as though it was official, one we just made it so.
Graingy handed the account to Grain Guy to manage.
@Dracul0Anderson the shark would get fished out rather quickly, unfortunately. This is the Eel Protectorate’s flagship, the EPS Morrayge.
A lot more military oomph is needed if we’re to take on the Eel Protectorate. Too much, however, and Graingy proper would get involved. They’re way too tough to take on, and even if you somehow did, they have the Soian Empire standing right behind them. That same empire gave me my ride to an alien planet so I could do reporting on a global war they sparked and promptly spectated like entertainment.
In other words, we need somewhere between “canoes and spears” and “advanced modern weapon systems designed to level cities”.
There’s also the issue of limited funding.
These reasons are why the “Cracker” is the way it is: cheap (mostly this), and doesn’t draw the full attention of the major players.
@Mousewithamachinegun123 Yes?
What the hell
Nice
Oh, is this operational?
Good lord
+1This sounds useful.
Wow
@Graingy Damn
I doubt we’re the only people on this site that do that.
+1@Monarchii stahp
Do I really have to explain this again?
+1@Monarchii get help
@Monarchii you’re not even making sense at this point.
Uncle Joe?
You mean Stalin?
You see this sticker with the word “Gold” written on it?
+2That means the chunk of copper I slapped it on is real pure gold!
Use. Spellcheck.
@Monarchii You disgust me.
@Graingy this is really that normal?
It’s a battle jungle gym
@Monarchii Are you aligned in any way, shape, or form with the Eel Protectorate?

@ColonelRelford what
Congrats.
Interesting form
Yeah I’m sure that makes it hard for enemy infantry to climb on top
@Dracul0Anderson now you’re thinking!
+1A few modifications and you’ve got a suitable sea-denial platform!
@Dracul0Anderson do you have, say, mine laying aircraft? Maybe built from a common commercial airframe?
@Guywhobuildsstuff why wouldn’t you trust me?
And what ranks are there?
@Mousewithamachinegun123 eh I can take you
@Terrora69 That’s good life advice!
This thing looks dangerous
@Monarchii I will declare war.
@Dracul0Anderson Nice.

@Monarchii do you ever run out?
@Monarchii I was thinking more like “that’s a fun FAXX” but okay.
+1@Monarchii You are blight.
@TalonTheCRTguy This has the basic information on what the Eel War is.
I’m joining against the Eel Protectorate because I hate their leader.
Decided to take a little nibble
Got a little hungry
@TalonTheCRTguy do you require further information?
@Mousewithamachinegun123 I gave Graingy the account. For a while my account was already being used as though it was official, one we just made it so.
+1Graingy handed the account to Grain Guy to manage.
…
+1@Monarchii you like puns?
There’s one sitting for you right here.

Odd.
Quite classist.
I hate the guy, but I believe Grain Guy made an excellent point about this kind of thing.
"We don't like noobs that have paper rank or below to join our challenge."
+1I have no intention of joining this, but frankly I'm insulted.
What
This arrangement of parts confounds me
Interesting nose design
Lifting body?
