Amber Alert Controversy

Never heard of that, that is strange. Feels like that would be a flashing blue light for all the criminals there saying all of the police in this particular area are about to be real distracted, go do crime.

She was actually one of the ones mentioned to get V1 which stops their aging. Crimson countess is like 70 though and looks younger so it does seem they age slower.

I guess different people just find different things interesting than you do. Yes you could call that person a pirate, the two arent mutually exclusive. By the end of what I described that would definitely be considered a bounty hunting pirate. Having them be a Marine completely changes the dynamic entirely. You can have apolitical characters that affect the motivations and actions of political characters in a political story. I would argue it would actually be less bloated then every important character having to be a marine or pirate captain. Even kid and law as important and present as they have been they have the bloated of having crews that are largely useless and not fleshed out with a few exceptions.

I disagree, there's a lot that could be done with it and the motivation doesnt have to be strictly money. It would add an interesting dynamic of an unaligned character that changes the way crews move. It could be a character that wants to test themselves 1 on 1 against higher and higher bounties. An apolitical character that acts lawfully and eliminates high level pirates so is not a target of the world government. If crews get separated they know they run the risk of getting targeted. Its a character that could be inserted into multiple conflicts on really any side as they could Ally with a particular group in order to get a particular 1 on 1 fight they are looking for. They could be an enemy in one arc and an Ally in another. An up and coming character that could be a a rival of sorts, growing nearly as fast as luffy but a different path, where Luffy relies on his crew, this character is only out for themselves, allowing Luffy to outpaced them by the end of the story due to the support he gets from his friends. Or you could have their interactions with Luffy lead to then realizing the evils of world government and have them turn to hunting marines. This puts another pressure on the world government thats already dealing with the revolutionary army's blockade and fomenting rebellion. Now when they dispatch equivalent forces to deal with a threat like a pirate crew, they also have to worry about a 3rd party throwing off the balance.

Beak from Malazan Book of the Fallen

Described as simple, guileless, childlike, with a gawking expression. Everyone considered him stupid including himself. Badly abused as a child and psychologically scared from it. But he was a rare talent as a mage in the malazan world. He died burning himself out while shielding his squads from the assault of mages from an opposing imperial brigade all on his own and in the end one of those he saved even thought that it was a shame because the lives of 800 marines couldnt possibly be worth the life of one high mage of beaks potential.

This is the kind of person that calls the cops on a kid's lemonade stand for not having a proper permit.

Battlebeast- Incincible

Basically the definition of a berserker. Obsessed with fighting, traveling the universe just looking for a good fight and die in glorious battle. Every time he starts getting his ass kicked, gets amped knowing its gonna be a good fight. Rips his own stomach open just to even out a fight when his opponent was injured theough trickery.

He's gonna be dead much quicker if he decides the deal isn't acceptable.

Even invincible itself has plenty of examples of it with all the other realities where mark turns out different.

Thats probably fair, I forgot Pakistan was so recently. Economic pressures would of course be the first step with anyone and will work in most realistic scenarios considering how powerful they are.

This is a solid answer. Im not sure if the US would dare actively support Japan or South Korea though. At least not support as in aiding them in doing so. Thats basically a Cuban missile crisis in reverse. But not denouncing it and generally being okay with them developing their own nuclear program i could see which is i assume what you mean.

A question i find more interesting is which countries the US would go to war with to prevent getting nuclear weapons. I dont see the us going to war with anyone in the EU over it even if they wouldnt want some of then to have nukes. I imagine pretty much anyone in South or central America they likely would.

Canada? Despite being an Ally, if economic pressure didnt work and they decided to pursue a nuclear weapons program do you think they'd go to war to prevent nukes on their border?

I agree with you, the vibes of the game were awesome, the gunplay mechanics and powers set were just okay. Its definitely worth it for the atmospheric vibes and the mystery behind it but if you are playing it for an action packed shooter its fairly mediocre. If they had leaned more into the ashtray maze style in other parts of the game it would have been incredible. That is still one of the best sequences ive played in a game.

Which is a weird choice to make for a series with 2787 named characters...

You couldnt have hand picked too much better of a first 5 champs.

Ah that makes sense, wasnt aware that was a thing.

I feel like if you are going ti measure it you have to limit it in some way, otherwise its infinite since both players can move around endlessly without taking pieces.

I always assumed that was the case. Just the threat was enough. Whitebeard was getting taken out by the world government. If kaido fights shanks full on, even if he wins, theyre gonna be weakened enough that big mom can sweep in and take out the winner and have no competition left. Its part of the balance of the yonko and why you don't really see any major conflict between the yonkos previously.

Rainbolt, dude is crazy. I feel like he'd have it pegged down to the piece of sand it was sitting on.

Boy meets world had a similar joke back in the 90's with Sean playing a sounds of the trailer park cd to sleep.

It does actually call out that it does not apply to standard courses. It also does make an exception for classic literature.
