There is an "agree" button, it's just in-game and not in the forums post

yeah that is indeed what the indemnity clause indicates, thanks Supreme Court Justice Learned Hand

I read this on Discord the other night when it was republished - and there are two parts that make me sort of wonder: 1) I don't see how violent content can be prohibited when City of X is mostly about combat - that is the very definition of violence. I realise we have the PG-13 version of violence with no blood, but fighting is fighting. 2) "Sensitive" is a reeeeeaaaallly fluffy word - what is sensitive to one person, is completely irrelevant to the other and usually this sort of thing is judged by who feels offended not whether said offense makes sense or not. In City of X we have the Fifth Column (there was much rejoicing when they returned) and although we again have the PG-13 version of things, they ARE Nazis! True they are not building extermination camps in Boomtown but I am pretty sure Nazis still register as a sensitive subject in many places. So basically, I cannot see a way in which the game itself is not a violation of the Content Guidelines unless there is some sort of implied grandfathering-in of anything already IN the game is ok, but new content cannot be violent or sensitive? Both of these are terms of art with fairly specific legal definitions: "violent content" means graphic, gratuitous depictions of violence, injury and death, like describing in depth someone being executed by decapitation or showing a picture of someone holding their guts in their hands as they bleed out in the street; the kind of violence in CoH is "cartoon violence", where nobody is bloodied or permanently maimed, injuries are abstracted away as a missing portion of a health bar, enemies are "defeated" instead of killed, and defeats are represented by comically tumbling away and fading out "sensitive events" means mass-casualty events, large-scale tragedies or especially heinous crimes like wars, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, spree shootings, plane crashes, child abuse, rapes and so forth; "the Fifth Column" aren't an event, and the game pointedly avoids talking about any specific real-world Nazi beliefs or war crimes, leaning much more heavily into a comedic "creepy guys in Hugo Boss uniforms with a wonder-weapon obsession" depiction. In my opinion this rule is primarily to give the GMs grounds for telling people that they can't name characters things like "Eliot Rogers" or "Touchy-Feely Priest" or "Missing Malaysia Plane".

I've recently gotten a mercs/time MM to 50. I think the biggest weakness of mercs is just that they're very generalist pets that don't excel at anything in particular: they don't pour on the damage like ninjas or beasts, they don't have a variety of damage types like demons or necro, they aren't as resilient as bots, they don't have a big fun capstone attack like thugs, and almost all their attacks are in the form of short DOTs so you don't get the visceral thrill of big numbers. However, that just means that they're pretty well equipped to handle whatever they're thrown at, and they apply a lot of status effects that go well with a kind of "defendermind" playstyle where you're focused on team support rather than damage.

Siren's Call -668.7 99.7 1328.9 - Long Arm of the Law / Global Reach: Longbow initially attempted to incorporate these cranes into a forward base to bring the fight to Arachnos and out of the city, but eventually decided that they were too exposed and isolated to have strategic value. -493.6 -127.7 -986.0 - That'll buff out!: This rare, highly collectable '58 deCrecio Roamer would have the perfect patina for a dedicated restoration job... if the Warriors hadn't been using it for target practice. -673.4 -105.6 419.0 - Volatile / Unstable: Before the invasion, this refinery was under investigation for its poor handling of explosive gases. Unfortunately, the government was right: during the first Rikti bombing run, a single hit was enough to cause a chain reaction that leveled the complex.
