Question Knights of Purity

I just.... -head shake- Wowzers, the Knights of Triggerhappy are just.... -head shake- I get that the Goodkinds are throwing money at the problem, but THEY should be able to see that their people are putting civilians in danger with the lances actions. 25 freaking suits with military hardware, ignoring the fact that they where hijacked by Klaw so easily, the public 'saw' them open fire on ELECTED OFFICIALS! That is WAY over the line and I am really surprised no one has stepped in with more then a scolding.

Knights of Incompetence, I think. I mean, they somehow let a *supervillain* abscond with pretty much their ENTIRE ARSENAL. Perhaps the teams that were sent to help in Boston were more with the competence, but it's looking more and more that whoever did the recruiting for the Cincy team set the job requirements as "room-temperature IQ".

And they used SI units at that

Wait... Was it just the MCO or them + the KOP that have better reputations than current Gen1 in Gen2? ... if so, wondering how that comes about...

<pedantic>No they didn't. They used SI-derived units, specifically the degree Celsius.</pedantic>. They also required a shoe size larger than one's IQ. Even if you go with European sizes, that restricts the hiring to morons and clowns.

Sorry for the necro, but I've got a question. According to Reinforce's story, the KoP's have been devored by packs of lawyers as cleanly as if piranhas got them. So, why do these guys are still mentionned in other G2 stories?

A bit of a tangent but... just how well known is the fact that the KoP are defunct?

In I Don't Think We're in Kansas Anymore (Part 1) there's one student that comments this:

"I heard about that!" the second boy, a lanky blonde, freckled boy replied. "There was some big thing in New York City yesterday! They had out all the cops, the MCO, the FBI, the National Guard, the Knights of Purity - everyone!"

Is it just that the student didn't get the memo or was it that the death of the KoP hadn't been decided by the CC(TINCC)?,,,,, Or did the Goodkinds resurrect them after the Fullerton Incident?

Such a shame, they could have used the name for a company specializing in handling sewage sludge..... or maybe to print their logo and name on toilet paper, so that people might wipe their asses with it.

Of course, you're also assuming a pre-teenage boy is a reliable witness...

Including perhaps "The Knight of Purity" who can now come out of his enforced retirement because decades old trademark ruling was voided when the Knights folded?

Or that any armor team that isn't "MCO Powder Blue" is "KoP."

He could also have just bin speaking in hyperbole. (Massive exaggeration.)

The MCO still explicitly has Power Armor teams as well. I wonder if they still follow the "baseball player" dynamic that KoP used, or if they're entirely new models with different loadouts.

I thought the MCO used more Iron Man Warmachine like power armor based on the stuff seen in Boston Brawl: Party Addition.

What? There's no canon story named "Boston Brawl: Party Addition." If you are thinking of "Ayla and the Birthday Brawl", well, the armored guys who came to help were KoP, not MCO.

On a slightly unrelated note, whenever I see "KoP" my brain reads it as "Kit of Parts" rather than "Knights of Purity".

-face palm- You're right. For some reason I was thinking of the armor the bad guys had on.

Case en pointe!

Err, don't you mean 'case in point'?

Isn't 'en pointe' something ballerinas do to totally stuff up their toes?

You won this round! *Shakes Dictionary at Phoenix. *

Are you saying a MBT can't aspire to be a ballerina?

That's ah..tankist! Yes, that's what it is!

Tanks going 'en pointe' was kind of engineered out of the during their trials in WWI. You should see the old footage of tanks trapped in trenches when they were testing them.

The tanks were still trying in WWII
