Got any proof for that, or are people just bored of reading threads by the same few people saying how they hate mechagnomes? I very much doubt there is some bizarre cabal of internet hoodoo magicians who are deleting posts about Mechagnomes…
I see you are going from the ‘Retributor’ school of mathematics. Pretty sure a Mechagnome is not 99% similar to a Gnome. In fact by ‘Pretty sure’, I mean ‘Such is factually the case’.
I mean, I’m not an expert on cryptozoology, which is in itself, fricken weird and not what I would consider scientific fact, but no one, to my knowledge, has managed to track down a real Orc, or a Real Gnome, to see whether this is, to our understanding of the laws of physics, a ‘Go-er’. What we have been able to do is work out what the heftiest thing a person could kick without breaking a bone is, and the sad news is, Gnomes exceed that. Even for Orcs. Sorry. I mean to be fair, its not like Orcs are a barometer for being bulky and strong. They’re just Green Kul Tirans now… Orcs have been downgraded to “Meh” levels.
If you’re old enough to remember what a ‘Medicine Ball’ was, you’re basically trying to punt something of that mass/weight, or header it (Don’t try that! For the love of the Gods don’t try that! I do not need deaths on my hands) Seriously, you can’t punt a Gnome, they’re not filled of Helium, they’re only marginally lighter than a Dwarf for goodness sake!
No, but seriously. Don’t try punting a Medicine Ball, especially don’t try ‘headering’ one, you will actually die or end up quadruplegic (Assuming Medicine Balls even exist outside of 1980’s UK schools anymore…) Just don’t do it! Don’t do it!
Thankfully the new and expected Allied race to counterpart the Gnomes is called Mechagnomes, not Trashgnomes, so your fears are entirely abated…
