Mestiv he/him Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Just this morning, while driving to work I had a thought that I should have posted your population estimations in my maps post, so yeah, I like it that you did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily edit things, that is cool, if you have suggestions My only problem is with Portland, we were using information from Steelheart to estimate Epic populations for a while and concluded that it would have had nearly a thousand, the MEE alone has numbers in the hundreds I think. I think our reasoning when we got WoB on the population percentage was that for no apparent reason Oregon just got a whole lot more Epics than anywhere else. Portland alone has more High Epics than the entire state should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland alone has more High Epics than the entire state should In a similair vein I can't quite agree (although I'll spare us my arguments) with either Portland or Corvallis having 5 times plus the amount of Epics than Astoria. And here's a random triva segment, the topic: The uselesness of Curveball's power Now, most of might now think, "why isn't is obvious how useless his power is?" Thinking: so he doesn't have to reload Handguns, might give him a slight advantage in a gunfight but not much compared to other Epics. Well, in the Reckonerverse there exsists something called electron-compressed magazine, which can store multiple hundreds of rounds, meaning you are very unlikely to run out of ammo any given shoot out.

Well, if you have the gun pictured inside the spoiler and you don't have to stop to reload, you might be quite deadly, even for someone behind a concrete wall... And I doubt there are electron-compressed magazines for revolvers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Well it's not particularly useful in combat, particularly against other Epics but it is a form of matter generation, it's an infinite source of metal. Though in Newcago that's still pretty useless comparatively 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weapon industry is one of the buisness trades still blooming, so assumption based on our current guns are pretty useless.

That would make a big difference. Also, congrats on evolving. That trek to level 37 must have been worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so given that the metal would only exsist in small nuggets that would need to be remolten. I think the clearest case for the uselessness of Curveball's power (for him, at least) lies in the fact that infinite ammo is only as useful as your aim. He is a terrible shot, relying entirely on dumb luck and the law of averages to hit his target. In the hands of an experienced shooter, his power could be pretty deadly, but in his case it's more like the ability to generate very dangerous confetti.

Is it just me, or is "Remington Springfield" a far more appropriate name for an Epic with gun-related powers than "Curveball"?

If you're a Dragon, does that mean you're weak against Ice and Fairy? Luckily I've done nothing to antagonize either Elsa or Funtimes so I think I'm safe on that front for now. Unless... Do leprechauns count as fairies? Should I seek protection from a certain green necromancer? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curveball tried to call himself that, but the real Remington Springfield sued him for copyright infringement. Steelheart refused to hear the case and told them to settle it "the usual way." Remington shot circles around Curveball (literally, there were circles of bullet holes in various aesthetically pleasing designs) and laughed at the "metal confetti" Curveball seemed so proud of. Curveball was stuck with his name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a serious note, it's no wonder we didn't plan anything, given that it's been quite some time since something important happened, with maybe the exception of Corvallis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
