Let me explain how they worked.

[The Unintelligible]

Nova isn't really incompetent, but he isn't really as great as he used to think he was either. He's made strides towards learning so that's enough to get some type of veneration from me.

My biggest issue with him was the sense of unwarranted arrogance he seemed to have acquired from Newton/Cake/etc. He was influenced a lot by individuals he looked up to and acted in accordance to them. Basically.

Personally I haven't talked to him in like a year now, so I don't know how he is now or how much he's changed. But to his credit, he seems to have matured some.
