Alright, here we go kids.

Some of you may not want to work in a large group. But here's the chance to have the big meet up, before the real shit hits the fan.

I do believe we are all now in the same room more or less.

I also have been thinking about a new mechanic. Something that the inspiration piece had in spades.

Hear me out here.

I mentioned it in my post. A crap weapon, in the inspiration piece anyway, has the very real chance of blowing up in your hand. Had it happen to me last night while I was playing for inspiration. Now our base pistols will not be party to this, but anything we pick up in the form of Rifles, shotguns, Long rifles or auto-rifles will be susceptible to the problems of good old wear and tear. Let's face it, none of the poor mooks that are in this country know a god damn thing about how to care for a weapon. The Scorpion gave them the guns, but didn't train them in the minutiae of the workings of it and cleaning of it. For example, that AR that Arran picked up, might have a few uses in it, before it jams, the jam can be cleared, but how often do you think that's going to happen before the chamber is fucked, or the whole mechanism seizes? 

So I didn't want to just institute this, and have people be right pissed. So I wanted to put it forward and see how everything thinks about it.

In a nutshell once we all have scavenged weapons, I will be keeping a behind the scenes watch on them, and send out PMs to everyone notifying them how long they will last. I'll measure it in battle posts. An okay AK may last upwards of 10 battle posts before it jams the first time. 6 battle posts later it will jam a second time, 4 battle posts later it will jam it's third and final time. The next time I send a PM which I will do everytime it jams, the third time, that's it that gun is toast. It could explode in your hands, or just be unable to be cleared.

So I wanted to put this idea forward. If it's a resounding NO then that's okay. If it's a yes we can work it in.
