A proof, in the mathematical sense, is a sequence of steps, statements, or demonstrations that leads to a valid conclusion. You can pluralize it into having multiple proofs, whether they reach the same conclusion by different means or are completely unrelated (or, hell, even if they're just copies of the same proof). Thereby, you could have "two proofs".|

Of course, I have now generated a proof to explain how you could have two proofs. Does someone else want to come up with a second one so that we can have two proofs explaining how you can have two proofs?
Nobody really cares about Mercy or PO anyway. I figure Cap will be the winter event hub for villains.
Mercy is a horrible newbie zone, and Port Oakes is just sort of...there. It has the arena and the SG registrar, I guess. In retrospect the devs probably regret the mistake of having two zones which virtually overlap. I just groundpound to level 5 as I walk to the PO ferry, get my atlas mayhem in Oakes, and proceed to Cap at level 10. Total time in the zones is pretty negligible for a side which doesn't have many zones.

In addition to mathematical proofs there are also logical proofs. While the two follow many of the same conventions a logical proof doesn't need to prove something valid, just logically sound. Generally this is used for statements and one sentence can contain multiple statements, requiring multiple proofs be used for that sentence.
We now have two proofs proving the existence of two proofs

@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.
More proofs!
Honestly... I thought you had the many proof you needed already.

Bah on all your "maths" and "proofs!" The only proofs you need are the 80 proofs in your whiskey! *swigs from whiskey bottle and stumbles around singing drunkenly*

If you looked closely, you'd have seen the WL had "hate" and "more hate" tattooed on its knuckles.
interesting tattoos you got there GG ;-)
