so, what's left of Jack in the game is ...

It's a dug thread. It's like watching Dr. Von Kruglor's self-arresting robots in action. (And no less confusing.)






(Quoting one of JB's most salient points ever here for no real reason.)

You must be new to the internet.

The terms Praetor and Praetorian Guard are roman, not greek, so the modern connotation is probably correct - sic semper tyrannis. Plus, he was known as Emperor Cole in Praetoria, not Tyrant, only Primals and Resistance members call him that. Unlike Tyrant, Statesman was inspired by Greece rather than Rome, which is why he formed a Freedom Phalanx instead of a Praetorian Guard.

and you still have to take a drink

In all seriousness you are correct that Wikipedia is not a perfect source of information and definitely not something you should rely on in any sort of formal setting but it is reasonably accurate and is generally good enough for a first-pass information source.

That's an interesting take and probably accurate. I had not considered that they could have the Praetoria / Primal as a clash between Rome and Greece. Rome being the imperial state and Greece being the freedom loving side.

Seventy-two ulcers? That's the weirdest Islamic Paradise yet.

Blood Widow Ricki * Tide Shifter * T-34 * Opposite Reaction * Shaolin Midnight * ChernobylCheerleader

Entropy Legion * Hyperion Force * Hero Heights

...as long as your definition of 'paradise' agrees with his, and have no qualms about giving up the things that he says it is necessary to sacrifice to bring it about.

Okey dokey lokey

Blasterpony:


Scrapperpony:


Controllerpony:


Defenderpony:


Tankerpony:



Why does the Defenderpony look annoyed? Well the Blasterpony faceplanted, the Scrapperpony ran off to the other side of the map, the Tankerpony skipped his mez protection power and the Controllerpony went AFK.

I take it you ARE Defenderpony.

Incidentally, all five of those names are available on Virtue. >.>

That or Blasterpony. I play a very aggressive Blaster .

You're going to kill one-tenth of us?! ...not it!

you are terrible, I am scared of you

That is awful to say, you should bravely prove that people are manufacturing artificial meanings,nicely tell us that our usages are counterfeit.

I'm going to go with this. I think it's a serious mistake to equate in-game Statesman/Marcus Code and his analogs with game developer Jack and a bigger mistake to assume the devs equate them. At the VERY most, they have been wanting to shake up the story by killing off the game's biggest hero and assumed enough time had passed that it wouldn't be taken as a slam at game developer Jack (and if so, they were wrong).

These are serious people who care about the game, they spend countless hours and want to be proud of it - and at an absolute minimum, it's what puts food on the family tables. I can't see them being that petty. If they wanted to be petty, they could always write him into tip missions to mock him.

I think you are misreading, or misunderstanding, the post. That sounds like the person gets the internet PERFECTLY.
I give you a real pony :


Shame cube, or incomming game?

I love you for this.
