Lucius Optimus Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) Not entirely unexpected. I seem to recall a time when such statements of alignment would've led to calls of "just merge already". But I won't bother. Please feel free to engage in yesterday's politics.

Recognize what it is possible and then go slightly beyond that. I'm sure you'll feel silly a few months from now once CLAWS has surpassed all expectations and filled most of those 20 slots.

Were they at 100% efficiency they wouldn't have slots to use with OC. Glad to have cleared it for you.

To me neutrality meant not to support any external party, not to be indifferent to any of them (although I am indifferent to most of them). When I cared about CN I used to have pretty strong opinions, I just didn't air them, unless doing so served me or my friends. And yes, not having to get into all the stuff you briefly alluded to is liberating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I make a link in my head between the position of Neutrality and being more prone to focusing on the objective and less the subjective aspects of a dispute. So in relation to the slot efficiency comment, you were simply stating that; on paper the stats suggest CLAWS could easily fill OC's slots, especially with the low slot use suggesting plenty of gaps in the market among their buyers, Not a politically charged response, a purely neutral response Edited September 23, 2021 by Johnny Apocalypse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really want to stick it to NG, have your dude delete that DRA right now. NG will be furious but unable to do anything about. The very definition of impotent rage.
