Bwahahaa, I've finished writing the Round 2 rules!

It has made it across the pond to the UK. I use Metric F-ton's all the time.

Does it still equate to 16 assloads?

Properly, 20 assloads = 1 Metric F-ton.

This parallels the Imperial and US Customary measurements:

Imperial: 20 hundredweight(UK) = 1 tonne (or long ton) = 2240 lb
US Customary" 20 hundredweight (US) = 1 tin (or short ton) = 2000 lb

The difference between the long and short tons is that the US set a hundredweight = 100 lb, while the Imperial retained 112 lb.

A metric ton (used in the metric and SI systems) = 1000 kg = 2200 lb

So when an engineer says something weights 3500 tons, you may need to ask which "ton" they're using.

That'd be the Metric F-tonne vs the Imperial Arseload over here, yes :P.
