Explain that to the insurance agency

[mikeman7918]

I thought that was your explenation, it was really specific.

He got in by bribing the guard with snacks.

Your Duna mapping satellite crashes into Ike.

that was also intentional.

Danny attached an extra l to the mission control sign so it reads mission controll, and now all mission controllers troll missions

[mikeman7918]

The point of the game is to explain it in such a way (even if it's not true) that the insurence agency will cover the expenses involved. No insurence agency would eve cover something if it's intensional.

It's the security guard's fault, not ours.

You land the Kuriosity rover too hard and break a wheel.

[Mr_Brain]

Our wheel supplier, Kerbal Motion LLC, said that the maximum impact speed with the wheels was 20 m/s. It was only reasonable to assume that that was rounded, how were we supposed to know that 24 m/s was too fast? After all, in their ads, they rounded down the electricity consumption as well.

Your probe lander lands in a dark valley on 67P- I mean Gilly and runs out of power before you can act.

[Helix935]

our engineer Don used discount batteries from a nearby drug store due to budget cuts and our the guy that was suppose to operate the RC controller to land the probe was out sick so Don had to pilot it too

an astronaut fails at docking with a space station which causes the station to explode which thus contributes to kessler syndrome

[megatiger78]

Danny mind controlled him.

Danny did intentional things?

[mikeman7918]

Where is the scenario?

Kassini crashes into Jool.

[SmartS=true]

It had served it's mission, and we don't want to cause it to infect Laythe with the space flu, do we?

You messed up your kerbaled sun-grazing mission, and it is now a kerbaled sun-impactor.

[mikeman7918]

I am going to modify this forum game to include a reply from the insurance agency before the usual stuff. People keep on posting explanations like "I did it on purpose" and "that was intentional because [reason]", and no insurance agency would cover something that you did on purpose. Look at page one for more details on the rule change.

Why would we insure it if it was intentional?

What! I didn't know that we were using the metric system.

You accidentally slingshot a rover into interstellar space.

(You know what, I am going to just post another example of how a post should be after the rule change. If you don't like the rule change, please tell me.)

So you messed up your units? We will cover that.

The autopilot messed up, not us.

There is a computer virus on your navigation computer.

[Mr_Brain]

We'd believe you if you said it was human kerbal error, but TECHNOLOGICAL error? That just doesn't happen. If you want us to cover that, at least be honest.

But that ad Billy-Bobdrin clicked said it would give us a free street rover!

An airplane landed directly into the spaceplane hangar. Neither the plane nor the hangar were intact afterwards.

[mikeman7918]

Why was Billy-Bobdrin surfing the web on a spacecraft navigation computer? You have computers all over the space center, and there is no reason that he should have used that one. No coverage for you.

The airplane pilot thought that the SPH looked like a landing pad.

Your huge unmanned cargo rocket exploded on the launch pad.

[Mr_Brain]

You should really hire more competent pilots, then. Not a single fund for you.

It would appear that the launch clamps were faulty and pumped oxidizer into the already partially filled (or still partially empty?) liquid fuel tanks and vice versa.

Eve's ocean corroded our Eve probe's ocean composition measurement instrument before it could take measurements of the composition of Eve's ocean.

[Sesni]

We won't cover that. The engineers should have quadruple-checked it.

Eve's oceans are highly acidic and melted the instrument. We were not aware of this until we touched down.

The SSTO ran out of fuel coming in to the runway and overshot and splashed down, destroying the plane and killing the pilot(s).

[mikeman7918]

We will cover that, it was totally an accident.

There were some delays on the de-orbiting, and a little delay goes s long way at orbital velocity.

Your cargo rocket runs out of fuel only 20 m/s short of an orbit.

[CelticCossack51]

"Cargo rocket" is the codename for an ICBM in my space program

Your craft was docking with a space station and then the craft went full throttle, killing all on board, and destroying the shuttle and the very expensive station.

[Bill Phil]

Skynet.

Your brand-new Space Center just blew up in a huge explosion....

[Sesni]

We won't cover that because technological error does not exist.

The stupid engineer was smoking a cigarrete in the fuel storage before we put up a no-smoking sign.

Your ship full of kerbals runs out of fuel, putting them on an elliptical orbit around Kerbol, with no hope of rescue.

[Mr_Brain]

You should've put up the sign before filling the tanks. Not covered.

Environmental activists demanded that the NERVA's reactors be replaced by chemical engines, so we did that, but we didn't have time to put in more fuel and were on a tight schedule.

A probe core has gone sentient and was so lonely that it directed the probe back to Kerbin, making mission success impossible.

[KerbinW365]

Did someone just spilled soda on that?

During a ship crash, the robotic Fire Trucks and Ambulances went rogue and start attacking people.

*grumpf* * 'sigh' *

[Sesni]

(Ignoring the above post, has nothing. Also, read the original post so you know all the rules, there are three parts, not two.)

We won't cover that. No drinks in mission control.

We don't control those things here at the KSC. Ask the government.

Your lander's instruments malfunction, and the ship crashes into the Mun, killing the two kerbals onboard.

[KerbinW365]

Oops.... Looks like SOMEONE FORGOT TO CALIBRATE THE GYROS!!!

Your ship loses communication after it leaves orbit.

[Orion1500]

Looks like troll Mun got in the way again.

Your interplanetary ship's capsule is ripped off by phantom forces.
