Loopholes & Inconsistencies

[GD_Elite]

Yay, at least I got one... But you missed my other one.

In 21-2 ~6:30 Tardust says there were 4 tankers behind them, Scratch counts that they have 6 left. Tardust says they needed 8 and that he brought one extra. Is tardust just bad at math or is this a mistake?

I think this might have something to do with Chapter 24, but it still seems wrong, since all 6 tankers were blown up, and 4 were lost.

When Angel meets skittles a second time, Angel said that he hadn't seen the one with the markings, but Burt, Michael and Saul did. When he came to the tower in chapter 11, Angel was there. Is this an inconsistency or was Angel lying?

So now that we know what happened to at least one of the tankers....what does that do to our Tanker Math loophole? Make it better or make it worse?

[GD_Elite]

If they had used 6 and lost 4, that means they brought 10 with them originally. They needed 8, and bought 1 extra. It is strange that Tar wouldn't mention that he brought 2 extra really. It is unclear, but I think it probably is no longer a loophole. What I can't work out is if they used 5 or 6 on the Arena, so its not too clear what exactly happened.

If they had planned well in advance to bring a 10th tanker for the tower, then it is possible that Durai had approved it, but that is for the discussion.

MIght also be that they circled back to the ambush site and grabbed one of the ones attacked. not likely though.

We know that in Ch. 24 The Mallers attack the The Tower with rpgs. But the diesel truck The Tower had exploded, but the point is how high would that flame get? This is because the whole area was covered in smoke and if the tower had been on fire the rope connecting the tower with the building next door would have been burned sooner than it had. So possibly someone on the other side of that rope.. *COUGH COUGH don't wanna say it*... might have burnt the rope thus deciding Burt's fate as far as we know. But also it sounds like someone cut the line when listening to the chapter.

No go, Michael says the rope was burnt off at about 10 yards out. How does somebody burn a rope 30 feet away without a flamethrower?

[nikvoodoo]

If this was a haphazard set up of a zip line (with the only one qualified to actually set it up going rogue PS: Saul is still a bastard because now he might have caused Burt and Angel's deaths), it's quite possible that the rope just snapped on its own and dangled the 30 feet (10 yards) down into the top of the flames (or not which I'll cover in a second).

We know the adjacent tower is smaller than the Tower, so lets say it's 9 stories tall (under the assumption someone put forward that it would take 6 stories to zip line down to the roof and 6 more to zip to the 3rd floor of the Tower (per chapter 7), that means the rope was dangling 60 feet from the ground. If you assume the tanker was 12 feet tall, that means the distance is closer to 50 feet from the fire. And we know there is thick black smoke rising from that fire. And while smoke doesn't necessarily have to be as hot as the fire itself, it can still carry the heat. Fire doesn't have to touch an object to singe it. Extreme heat can accomplish the same task.

Or maybe that the fire in the tower was coming out of a window a floor or two below where they were jumping from

17-3 skittel said "brain not the wost (Angel taked about skilles fright of this one) the coloured one the one with the markings markings, you only see him once then your dead "angel yeah you told me about him before..... i havent seen him but Burt, Michael and Saul did"

maybe he couldn't see him they were in a tigh hallway and he was at the back of the group, going around the corner to burt place

this might be wrong, but this is what i feel

[7oddisdead]

the thing ive wondered is...with the excess heat adding stress to the rope... how much could we blame the rope breaking to the fact that someone had to take riley over with them?
