Yes or No...? 2

I have a lot on my mind, like, at all times. It’s half the reason why I’m borderline insane and constantly depressed and tired; 36 years of everything inside my head never shutting the hell up for an instant. It’s the price of above average intelligence and upper one percentile imagination and perception.

In an unrelated note, every time I see your image there, I keep thinking it’s Jim Norton, one of my favorite outrage comedians of the 00s.

Yeah, I do think you need a high IQ to understand Rick and Morty as well.

I might change it again, I feel like it is time for a change.

I noticed while blending in as Tobias Rieper the walls of the auction room. They resemble eyes, and they’re all around the room. As if it were a symbol of how they have eyes everywhere. :eye:

Hmm…

Well I’d actually switch to drive instead, so there could be a chance of finding another thing a bit further down :laughing:

Did 47 kill non-targets with the light rig in Novikov’s generally considered canon kill?

Did 47 kill the mercenaries in Mendoza?
  • Yes, all
  • Yes, 1 or both that stand with Yates
  • Yes, the 3 that guard Diana
  • No

To clarify, the 3 that guard are the ones that need to be incapacitated before Yates comes up with the other 2.

No, he didn’t kill any civilians. Either that kill is not canon or we are supposed to ignore how the game mechanic causes extra deaths.

I don’t kill any of the mercenaries, I knock them all out before Diana attacks, so that only Yates dies.

Re: the Light Rig kill… I’d think that if something were a most unfortunate “accident” then collateral damage should reasonably be expected. Of course, those of us that want a “perfect score” would probably go out of our way to minimize non-target kills (I guess by getting next to the stage and pulling out an illegal item to shoo them away). But with non-target/innocent bystanders - the family members would be suing either Sanguine (or whoever was the next person in line to take over - if there were anybody), or whichever “contractor did this whole light-rig setup” - as mentioned by the guard in the attic.

Let’s say the contractor gets a summons to go to court for multiple deaths. They’d probably then hire their own investigation team to see what failed with the light-rig. Then that might depend on how the event was triggered. Was it with an explosive? Or tampered with using a tool such as a crowbar? Or would that make a difference and could be written off as a minor issue given the shoddy work of the contractor…?

These are things to consider. :thinking:

It’s still not in character for 47 to do such a thing. That’s the one thing that keeps this from being acceptable. Especially how they’ve portrayed him in WoA. No matter how well it is played off as a accident, if 47 overheard that conversation, or even just used his basic knowledge of what would happen if this huge array of heavy lights were to fall onto a stage surrounded by a hundred people pressed in around he, he would know that dropping it on Novikov would be more likely than not to kill several innocent bystanders.

And no matter how you want to build 47 up, no matter how much you enjoy the ruthless 47 of C47 or BM, no matter how many couriers with code red envelopes he had to silence or priests and reporters he has to keep from telling the world about him, no matter how many Providence soldiers he throws off a speeding train: 47 will not just mass murder a room full of civilians for the sake of a accident. If you like the 47 who has more humanity, it goes against everything he stands for in his quest to kill for a purpose and not be a mindless engine of death; if you like the ruthless, emotionless, strictly professional 47, killing a bunch of civilians, even in an accident that can be fully blamed on someone else, it’s sloppy and messes with his reputation of being precise and professional.

There is no argument anyone can make that justifies the implication that canonically 47 dropped that light rig, unless we are to ignore the NPCs that die in gameplay and assume that in-universe, only Novikov died when those lights fell, or IOI is just showcasing the kill they like most out of that map and it’s not truly the canon kill.

Yeah. I get all that. I’m just saying… Regardless, the light-rig falling and killing anyone is (at face value) terrible. But if only one person died from it you’d be more prone to raising your eyebrows at “what are the chances of that?” And it looks more deliberate and targeted (I guess if you’re conspiratorially minded).

Having absolutely no idea that Viktor was heading up an espionage scheme, you’d probably think “Dang! Sucks to be that guy.” If Viktor is among others that were killed or injured you’d then be prone to looking at the event itself rather than one person that died. To me, that’s more of an obscuration (i.e. thus, a freak accident).

So, (as I put in my original reply, then edited out) it should probably be considered non-canon.

As a major Star Wars fan and nerd, I would point towards my own fandom. Nobody hates Star Wars more then Star Wars fans. I hate many aspects of this fandom.

We have treated the people behind the series horrible. From Jake Lloyd to Kelly Marie Tran.

My head canon is that he killed everyone EXCEPT the target.

That one’s pretty good but my favorite is in Dartmoor when doing the murder mystery and the butler is leading him Alexa, describing some of the details of the complicated situation about how nobody can know Alexa is alive and 47 replies “I’ll consider her dead when I leave.”

He has a ton of murder puns and quips and/or he’ll at least wait for a kill quote like “She smothered me,” (before smothering Silvio with a pillow) or “That’s a view to die for,” (before pushing someone of a balcony or out a window).

2 Remake then 7 (though it was a photo finish) then 3 Remake (it would be probably be number of there was like 2 or 3 more hours and/or some extras; all I could think after finishing, besides how Jill has no bones left and she’s lucky she’s a cartoon, was that I wanted more) and I haven’t played 8 yet but it’s on the docket. Also, I hope 4 Remake does the original justice (and doesn’t go overboard with changes, preferably only really modernizing the camera and controls); I’m cautiously optimistic but still fairly anxious about it.

That doesn’t mean anything. One of my cousins has graying hair and he’s a year younger than me (I’m 31 for context). And I’m thinning… :smiling_face_with_tear:

“Grotesque” is too kind for them.

Does this count the Vidal shootout, though tbh I’m not sure of my personal Mendoza yet (it keeps flip flopping between a few mutually exclusive eliminations).

These are the least obnoxious culture wars peer groups tbh but I picked Star Wars because it’s a stand in for sci-fi in general (Star Trek and Doctor Who being a couple other big properties in that genre nearly constantly mired in pointless fan wars).

I would’ve liked this but I ran out of likes… :sob:

No, those are regular bodyguards and I would personally canon that Vidal died on the tour or during the meeting so I didn’t think to make a poll for them.
