I've never gotten around to asking Brandie what the Diaper Bomb actually was.  In my mind it's a Crash program design to crash Bulls deck combined with some custom Simsense.  Nasty and annoying. :]

Just like Freddie. :]

I can just imagine what the 'custom simsense' part would take (especially if anyone here has had kids).  LOL

Sounds like it was Fred's way of saying "scat . . ."  ::)

That was horrible Longshot.  And dang, I'm loving all these different perspectives, though The Concensus seems to be about what I thought it would.

Rule #1: Never involve kids in personal feuds -- it just pisses off bystanders!

  • Good plans load the dice. Good stories trump them.

One of the redeeming qualities of the Norse myth cycle - a part that Winternight pretty much skips over, IMO - is that in the final battle (Ragnarök) the good guys lose.  They get nothing out of fighting except the knowledge that they did all they could.  JackPoint might have a similar part of its ethos.

Thus why when FJ's daughter suggests he renames the JackHammer to you know what, he replies with "Why should I? They lost in that myth. I won."

"But it's such a cool name!" ;D

EDIT- I just realized something, Clockwork isn't involved in any of the recent shenanigans. Almost every other Jackpointer is at least somewhat involved in something, ut he's nowhere to be seen. It does not bode well.

I haven't finished CI or read Jetset yet so if I'm wrong let me know.

I think his only real mention lately is where he gets shot about the same time someone tries to hack Jackpoint and erase some files he put up there. He survived, however.

Clockwork has a couple one-liners in Safehouses, yes, but doesn't actually do anything.

Nope. /dev/grrl and Fastjack do all the work. Clockwork just chimes in, letting everyone know he's still alive, and crazy.
