"Too impractical. It does more property damage than just killing someone, but if that's your goal, it's better to lay the TNT under the ground than to waste most of it in a cannon, and if you're trying to kill someone there are easier ways. There are probably situations it's useful for? I'd--probably be worried about Dream setting them up if we hadn't exiled Tommy."

"There would mostly be useful for cases when you did want to do property damage, such as if you are itinerant attacking a city-- but I imagine for most situations you need to attack at range, a bow would be better."

"Yeah, but--if I was an itinerant attacking a city and I wanted to do property damage, I wouldn't advertise myself, I'd dig underneath it, plant the TNT there and wire it to a redstone trigger, like what Wilbur did. So TNT cannons are mostly useful if they're, like, aware that you're going to attack and checking for underground TNT."

...he now knows more about why exactly there is a hole at the bottom of the city.

"--I'd imagine a lot of their use comes from being an intimidation tactic."

"I mean, sure, but I gotta say, it's also real fucking intimidating when the ground starts exploding beneath you." Nervous giggle. "It'd work better as a threat, though, yeah. There's less we can do about them. It's not like we can cut people off from cobblestone and water."

"Not without a very big obsidian box."

"Or a small one. Smaller might actually be easier if it's just one person, you could spawntrap them into it, layer the obsidian, place it faster than they can punch through it. ...Harder to do that to a whole country, though."

"It would be deeply impractical."

"Yeah. Big obsidian box, though, that'd work. And obsidian's blast-resistant, the TNT wouldn't even do anything. ...Sorry, this got real fucking grim, didn't it?"

"These are grim times."

"Are any times, like, not grim? Because I'd kind of like to be in those, not gonna lie."

Brief times that aren't grim exist, but they are-- brief. "Agreed."

“We should put up more targets. And then we can tell everyone what the game is.”

"That will help do our part to bring a bit more-- levity."

“Yeah! We are going to be so… levity-y. The levity-est, if you will.”

What an adorable teenager. "We will maximise the levity in the area."

“Yeah!!!!!!!!”

Off to find a suitable place to hide some targets, then.

Tubbo knows LOTS of good hiding places. They can tower up, too, put some in the sky. 

Challenge people to look up, and shoot from a distance from the ground. Clever.

One can go at the top of a tower, too. (You can’t hit it from the ground, and the veterans of the first war will know that, but the new people won’t.)

Is that enough targets, or do they want some more? 

…Yeah that’s probably enough targets.
