battletech - How could the no named clan win the trial of annihilation?


As it is stated in this question and its answer: Can a member of the not named clan ask for a trial of refusal to save his clan? the original trial of annihilation is still going on (as some of the original clan warriors managed to flee and were the so called minnesota (spelling?) tribe mentioned within the inner sphere.


As the original trial is still going on and they usually win it by eliminating the other side that was part of the bid (or later upgrades) the question is...is it possible somehow by the no named clan to win the trial of annihilation (during the 3050s as example) and if so what would they have to do to do so?




Answer



The original Trial is not still going on because even though some Wolverines survived and fled and may have descendants out there somewhere, the official Clan position is that nobody survived and any discrepancies in body counts and whatnot are down to "bad bookkeeping" (The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky, p13). So even though not all warriors were killed nor were all civilians accounted for, Clan Wolverine officially ceased to exist in 2823.


So, no, it is not possible for the Wolverines to win the Trial of Annihilation because they have already lost it.


One of the examples given in Warriors of Kerensky is a Clan Star that was annihilated and the result of that Annihilation cascaded down to anyone sharing their genes so that several hundred individuals ended up paying the price even though only 5 persons were subject to the Trial. This would be similar; the actual target of the Annihilation (i.e., Clan Wolverine) has been taken care of and the results of that successful Trial automatically apply to anyone sharing their genes. That doesn't mean, however, that the original Trial hasn't been settled and closed out.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...

How do Pokemon trainers collect their winnings?

According to Bulbapedia , Prize money is the money that a Trainer pays out at the end of a battle. So we know that the money comes directly from the trainer that just lost, and not some third-party committee or sponsor. But how is this done? It can be easy seeing the random trainers who challenge you along the way wanting to wager and then, after admitting defeat, sticking to their word and handing over their hard-earned pokebucks. Then there are the likes of Team Rocket and Giovanni, who also give money once they lose. This doesn't seem like something people in a criminal organization would willingly do. From this it appears that trainers have no say in whether or not they cough up the dough after losing, but I can't find anything on how exactly the funds are transferred from loser to winner. So how do Pokemon trainers receive their winnings?
