Of course that this mineral wasn't reason for the war, but I liked that name better than some suggested names as "World war, Great war 1,2 etc". Trove was initial spark, and it's deep green as greed.

A very apt analogy.
If I only have 200 spears to stand up to you, that is what I will use. If you burn all my cities to the ground, I will continue to fight on.
So in a way, it is like saying "I'll bite your legs off!"  |
That is fabulous news! We will have a perpetual source of amusement then...

Nobody said it was a conspiracy to outlaw "blood" ??? Trove. Trove is useful. But that's not what the war is about and Soup's effort to deflect and make it seem like this war is about anything but the community standing up to their bullying is amusing...
