Who???
Who is it that did the bulk of the edits on this page? Whoever you are, sign into your account or make one, because I really like the changes you made and want to give you a pat on the back. I'll be changing the monster template to fit this format. Thanks. ---Galactus
 * Bwahaha... twas I! The Triton Tyrant!  Actually, I just wanted to play with the wiki and figured I'd go with my home team... ---Phil

FACTION ICON!
SWEET! :)
 * I thought you would be pleased. :)  ---Galactus
 * Could we get higher quality scans? Maybe via Privateer or just scanning them ourselves or something?  I like the size, but the blurriness kind of spoils the awesome-ness.
 * I very much agree. Sadly that image is from PP and I stretched it to double it's dimensions.  I do not have scanning capability, but I'll keep my eye out for bigger/better images.  ---Galactus
 * Here's a secret... http://monsterpocalypse.com/files/factions/tritons.png Shh... don't tell.  They use imagecache (a drupal plugin, I believe) so the file path for what you really see is http://monsterpocalypse.com/files/imagecache/Thumbnail/factions/tritons.png. If you remove the imagecache/XXX part of the path, you'll get bigger images (usually).
 * Thank you mystery contributor. I will get to work.  ---Galactus
 * I need to stop switching computers. Blargh!  Anyway... Enjoy. ---Phil

B-E-A-UTIFUL!
 * I too am pleased. :)  ---Galactus

Faction Weaknesses
I flagged this page because I feel the Faction Weaknesses may be biased. Particularly the note about Tritons being poor Blasters. I field Tritons almost entirely as a blasting force with great success. With Ultra Anglax's High Impact, they have some of the strongest blasting potential in the game between Nautilus Blasters, Skimmers, and Glass Relays. Further, with more blast support coming in BiJ (in the form of Maco Subs) any perceived weakness in that area will soon be eliminated. They may not be G1s or Katanas, but I'd hardly say that Tritons are weak blasters. Am I being too biased the other way though? &lt;-&gt; Philip Rowland 15:04, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with you Philip. I have also played with Anglax and have found that the blasting options for Tritons are considerable and certainly nothing approaching a weakness.  Though the method of the delivery in the Weaknesses section is sound, what was contributed is nonetheless opinion.  Consult the Second Pillar and note that being neutral is more than just semantics.  If you state an opinion, as I think we can all agree this is/was, then you need to make some effort to state what may also be a countering view too.  I hate to say it like this, but "Fair and Balanced" is what we're going for, lol.  ---Galactus--- 16:18, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * As an addendum I would say that for me personally this kind of reference in the weaknesses section is really too opinionated to remain in place. I have a hard time seeing how even adding a contradicting opinion would contribute to constructive discussion of the faction as a whole.  I strongly approve of the other weakness mentioned because it's solid and if it were to be considered an opinion it is at least far less so. In my view the strategy tid-bits should be more in line with that.  ---Galactus--- 16:28, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I apologize, I have played both Tritons and Martians primarily and have found that the Tritons are far less effective as blasters than their sister faction due to their general lack of long range units, inherent boost dice, and blast triggers. I am aware of the upcoming Maco subs but for now I am focusing on the units that are currently in the game and not those that are yet to be released. As it seems to be the general consensus I will remove that weakness if it has not been done already. --Slayer Dragonwing 16:38, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not so much that they're "better" than Martians or even equal. It's just that, among the Now! factions, they're far from the worst blasters.  Strictly comparing them to Martians, I can see how they'd be worse.  Though it's hardly a fair comparison since we're looking at an incomplete faction and the weaknesses and strengths shouldn't be comparisons, they should be stand-alone facts. &lt;-&gt; Philip Rowland 18:49, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh... and don't apologize. It's a simple mistake.  Keep up the awesome edits! &lt;-&gt; Philip Rowland 18:49, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
