I've spent the last few minutes navigating around with my mouse on my shoulder.

As someone that used ball mice for most of their life, this is entirely too amusing. Optical mice are love.

My WTF moment is, why would anyone, person or animal, abandon such a cute and cuddly little thing that hasn't even opened it's eyes?   ...and I suppose the second one is if I'll ever be able to mark a kitten for butchering again.
Mother cats abandon kittens somewhat regularly, seemingly especially when they're very young. I've never bothered to look into the 'why' of it, though. S'just a thing that happens. Hope someone's remembering to tend its digestive, uh... produce. Otherwise things'll get backed up and kitten goes kaput.

Okay... to put it more clearly, what Rafellows was interpreting to be cyan-grey, due to whatever odd color settings involved, is probably a pale draconian. Checking the knowledge bot, pale dracs are indeed a sort of dimmer cyan; cyan mixed with grey, i.e. "cyan-grey". 'Pale' and 'mottled' aren't really colors :P

Cyan-grey is probably pale.

Tantrum actually seems pretty even. The key part to note is "at the closest target," which wouldn't care about friend or foe. The most dangerous situation for that would be when you've got two enemies distanced from everything else, 'cause you could juggle 'em back and forth into each other :P

It'd be pretty useless (or even counterproductive) around a normal creep wave. You'd mostly just be tossing minions into other minions, possibly your own side's.

Battleship, definitely~ Novik if it's got longer range than the Lotus. Because range is love. Don't even recall if it's terribly helpful in the game. Just like outranging people because that's sexy.

So, question. Can you get a ship and keep it in reserve? Because if so... go ahead and get the carrier too, unless a better one will be available by the time you get access to fighters. Planning ahead~

E:Also upgrade weapons yes, definitely. Moar dakka moar betta.

Dat ult.

And tantrum. Unlimited stacks and no cooldown. Farm that up during laning, then run around tossing entire creep waves at people.
Stack MS, farm up tantrum, slam headfirst into opposing team, run around throwing them at each other.

Incidentally... first object? Including buildings?

It'd be pretty hilarious to end up with all the inhibitors sitting on top of baron or something. Or just slowly creep baron toward the enemy base, huhuhu...

... I always got the food to go, because I could stuff more food in a box than I could eat in one sitting (and the price was the same, so...). Mind you, I wasn't on a meal plan or anything (Because hahaha, no. Shit was 2-3x more expensive than just cooking for myself most of the time.) so it was pretty rare but still. It wasn't that bad of a deal to occasionally not have to cook for two or three days, which was how long I could usually stretch a food court takeaway. Food was pretty meh in terms of quality, but the quantity was just right.

Hn... wasn't going for oil disruption, just water war. Still, modern wars being what they are, I'll give 200k combined military/civilian deaths and notable oil trade disruption for the area, with the caveat that MSH's 2040-2070 range projection for heavy loss of economical oil extraction doesn't fall through. Hundreds of thousands is a lot higher than I was planning for, but I can accept a counter-hedge.

If a major (and applicable) technological shift comes through during the time frame of the bet, I'd call it fair to say bet's off, though.

Sounds like the best kind of bet to make, then :P

But okay, what would you lay down as a fair bodycount?

Fair enough, so I'll go with no less than 30 dead in one go (say 24 hour period.), with the additional caveat of it not having to be strictly military. If we get a civilian water riot, that'd count. And again, explicitly over water, so a suicide bombing or revolution or whathaveyou over something else wouldn't count.

I also don't have ten dollars to spare, but considering the bet's conclusion would be in 2062 at the earliest, I think that I can scrum up that much by then. Start up a penny collection, if nothing else.

the whole Middle East is going to be involved in water wars in a few decades.

I would bet money that this will not come to pass.
Seriously though maniac, give me a more solid number on "few decades" and I'll take that bet. Maybe have it passed down via estate or something after death, if it's too far into the future.

I'm saying... ten USD we have violence over water shortages in that area in question in... 50 years. Double or nothing for full out war by 2100, barring technological advances rendering the issue moot.

I won't even take the skwiggly route to it. Explicit conflict over water.

And while we're taking that bet, I'll put another 10 down for no conflict against anyone that wants to take the bet. Anyone? I'm feeling hedgey.

Because there are plenty of ways that crises can be averted and they have the money to do it.
Problem: Ascribing foresight to people in power and them actually attempting to avert anything. Prediction: Great deals of "Got Mine" in the future and thirsty thirsty poor people.

There's no reason to fight over fresh water. Its a solvable issue to desalinate water on industrial scale. And considering most major population centers are less then 100 miles from a coast, desalination is the obvious way to go.
Has anyone done it, though? Is it economically viable yet? Mostly playing devil's advocate with this, but it's a serious subject I haven't noticed much public awareness of yet. Population vs water supply is another one of those potential issues coming up the road, especially with ol' global warming saying "Hi~"

Which is why I wrote 'most' instead of 'more' :P

Crunch them numbers! Maximize effectiveness! Ignore all of that at the behest of the other viewers! Ram at least one asteroid before the game's over!
