"I want you to witness the fate of the town of Nipton, to memorize every detail."
OK, Vulpes, how about a memorise a very particular detail. That you speak out of your arse when you claim "Each clutched his ticket, hoping it would set him free. Each did nothing, even when "loved ones" were dragged away to be killed." what's this then, Inculta?

Looks to me like you didn't clean up the fight fully. I imagine that if we were to have arrived later what's left of your man woulda been sweeped up and the Wastelander would have a mine under him.

[another angle of the dead Wastelander, showing the Laser Rifle and a Lottery Ticket]
The man has a lotto ticket next to him as well. Which does raise some questions. Was he handed the ticket and then pulled out the Rifle? Did they leave it next to him to mock him? Was this actually some kind of trial by combat "prize"? If the last one, why is he dead inspite of killing a Legion Recruit?
We will never know, the dead can't talk and Vulpes has his story. I don't think this is how Vulpes wanted us to see this man or the Legion Ash Pile.
-
I do have some other observations. Do you notice that the 1st and 2nd place winners, Oliver Swanick and Boxcares, are both Powder Gangers. In fact, literally every non-Legion survivor of this event weren't Nipton Locals? They're literally all Powder Gangers. The two enslaved guys in 'Booted'. The crucified men?
Tumblr media
[4 images vertically of crucified Powder Gangers]
Powder Gangers. All the survivors of Nipton were Powder Gangers. You may think "So what? The people of Nipton got unlucky." but you know what I think? I think this is too convienient.
Vulpes says "Nipton was a wicked place, debased and corrupt. It served all comers, so long as they paid. Profligate troops, Powder Gangers, men of the Legion such as myself - the people here didn't care. It was a town of whores. For a pittance, the town agreed to lead those it had sheltered into a trap. Only when I sprang it did they realize they were caught inside it, too." notice what he's doing there: he's claiming the entire town was in on him and Mayor Steyns plot. A claim like that, if true, could be used against Nipton in some people's minds.
One of the only other accounts of Nipton are Ghost's which are "Nipton wasn't the most friendly town, but..." and "Town was a shithole, asking to be burned. Just not by Legion. Nobody deserves that." which... no town is 'asking to be burned', Ghost. That second quote is part of her saying she had no friends in Nipton. I doubt she actually personally knew anyone in Nipton. Just the fact Steyn served Gangers and NCR and maybe she met someone unkind there once or somethin'.
And, yeah, Mayor Joseph B. Steyn was an arsehole. But y'wanna know somethin' about Steyn? He was New Californian, a Hubber, from The Hub. His prostitutes, Rosie and Sylvia, were probably from there or somewhere in New California too. And you know what he says happened in his terminal when he heard the plan? "I didn't have to think a moment about Mr. Fox's proposition before accepting it. All I have to do is convince the Powders to kidnap the NCR troops at night. When both groups are in town, the Legion boys will scoop everyone up. Ha!" he didn't consult the town about this plan beforehand. He also, rather constantly, displays a desire to leave Nipton and go back to California after exploiting Nipton as much as he could. That was Steyn's care for the town.
Only 1 Nipton Townsperson gets an account of anythin': Tony the Tinker. His single terminal entry shows him to be... a bit of a creep. But he explicitly is avoided by other people in town, especially women (also his Mister Gutseys got one of the Legion Recruits, which is funny).
But I've lost the point I was making. I don't think the fact all the Nipton townspeople are dead is a coincidence. Just like how I don't think that all the NCR just happened to be killed and left in Nipton Hotel is a coincidence.
I think the lotto was rigged.
Think about it, Boxcars even says that when Steyn's number came up they "burned him alive on a pile of tires." he never mentions anyone else getting that treatment.
Vulpes Inculta lied about the towns complicitness, at best there were fine with prostitution that played both sides of the Ganger-NCR conflict (the shopkeepers of the town gave Steyn 15% of their profits from trade with patrons of that service). Does Westside deserve to burn because of the Casa Madrid? Does Freeside because of the Atomic Wrangler? Fuck no.
But if a Nipton townsperson lived, they could share their story. We could see the truth. Nipton was a town, like any other. At worst their crime was electing Steyn (but we have no idea how their elections even worked).
1st prize, 2nd prize. That'd be a loose end, a story that could contradict the "Evil place that should be burned" narrative. The game was rigged from the start. Vulpes Inculta is a liar. Of course he is... he's a literal spymaster.
(also I highly doubt a woman was ever gonna be allowed to 'win' such a thing with Legion ideology)
So, let us remember the town of Nipton, as best as we can. Not as Vulpes saw it, or the NCR saw it, but as a place that had people in it we never got to know. Next time your in Nipton Town Hall, moving the bodies to avoid the landmines of this specifically set up scene by the Legion. Think about the Wastelanders, as they are called, and the part of the Wasteland they called home.

FNV Minor Character Poll - Round 3-A, Day 1
Tumblr media
Left: Old Ben, a Freeside resident with a very diverse resume. —"I was stripped of my casino apartment and all of my belongings and booted back into Freeside. From there I didn't have a lot of career options, as my rep was destroyed. So, the escort job sort of fell into my lap, no pun intended."
Right: Ghost, an NCR Ranger stationed at the Mojave Outpost. —"Listen - I don't want you getting killed for this, so if you head [to Nipton] and run into trouble, I'm asking for eyes and ears, not your life. All right?"
Designated cheerleaders were not available for this match-up.

Not all of us get to have a legacy, Agnes. Some of us just get shot and die.
By the time I began work on Volume 2 of @ikroah, I hatched the idea for variant covers drawn by guest artists to go along with my own cover for each volume. As I get back to work on the next issue, I've also been collaborating with the wonderful and talented @languorwine, whose eye for rendering beauty, awe, and raw pathos on large landscapes seemed perfect for the long overdue variant cover to Vol. 1 of this comic. It's been added to the first post in the @ikroah archive alongside the original cover.
The scene on this variant cover comes from issue #8. There were a few different scenes and cover ideas that we kicked around, but none felt more profound than this one. This moment, and this issue, has come to sort of define @ikroah for me. There was no one, and no one whose hands, that I trusted more than @languorwine to render it out like this.
anyway uhhh go read @ikroah and go check out @languorwine's other art :)

There’s definitely tension between Graves and Ranger when the two first interact on the mission in Las Almas. Soap sees it, Ghost sees it, Alejandro and Rudy sure as fuck see it. But Ranger isn’t budging even with Soap’s incessant questioning, and Graves isn’t talking either. It isn’t until Alejandro, as sweet as he is on Ranger after knowing her for only two days, kisses her temple and thanks her for taking care of simple things around the base that Graves makes a comment about her jumping military men.
“Oh, you’re calling me a whore now?” she smarts back. “See that’s ironic considering why we broke up all those years ago.”
Graves goes quiet, cheeks starting to tint red, and the others are staring wide eyed at one another, then back to the two, they aren’t saying a fucking word. Pandora’s Box is about to be opened, a nuclear bomb is about to fucking detonate, and nobody is fixing to miss this for the world.
“Soap, you really wanna know why Graves and I hate one another?” she asks, turning to look at the Scotsman.
He blanches, the bravado suddenly dispersing, as he sputters. “I, uh, normally yes, but right now doesn’t seem like—”
“It’s because Phillip couldn’t follow the one simple rule of ‘Don’t stick your dick where it doesn’t go.’”
Now all eyes are on the Shadow Commander as he scoffs. “We were already broken up.”
“Nuh uh,” she retorts. “You had just been discharged and I had just made LTJG.” Her words are razor sharp, slick with that southern accent like Graves’ but hers has an even deadlier edge. “I told you I needed time to think about how it would be to juggle a marriage when the two of us were reaching different branching points. I never said I wanted to break up. I needed time and space.”
“Sure as hell felt that way.”
“Well maybe it’s ‘cause you stuck your dick in my sister when I was on deployment in the Gulf of Oman and still had the nerve to send me letters about how you wanted to marry me?”
Everyone’s brows hit their hairlines and the room goes dead silent.
“That’s the reason I don’t talk to my sister anymore either, Soap.” She leans over, kisses Alejandro’s cheek before bypassing Graves, pausing to pat his cheek with a sickly sweet, “But she can have my sloppy seconds. I have a full course meal waiting for me at the end of a long day.”
