Civilization Mafia: Barbarian Encampment

[Pine]

People are throwing shade at the lurkers in general, which most of us qualify as.

[Elbirn]

Legitimately not alignment indicative, I'm just busy beyond measure and didn't even get to be here for day start because I'm at work doing shit

And I will be mad if I die for that cuz I might as well be town

[mastina]

My advice to JaeReed is that--while I trust Jae as a vig to be awesome--personally my record as town is better with a doc and that doctor is a better longterm role than 1x vig.

[Pine]

Rejoice, citizens!

We, your Emperor, are managing to keep abreast of developments within the Senate much better in this session than in the first. We care not whether this is due to the absence of certain obnoxious and vociferous Senators, a decrease in general prattle, or simply greater interest on Our part, but Glorious Rome has a dedicated ruler once more.

We of course have much to say, but We first dedicate this missive to disabusing stirrings of disloyalty to Our Person.

We hold thee in utter contempt, and dismiss your concerns with disdain.

We are not your servant, and it is not fit for you to criticize Our habits. We shall endeavor to address the Senate with greater frequency, but if you anticipate Us to make more a hundred speeches before this body within twenty-four hours, as do many Senators, you shall be disappointed. Live with it or be gone.

Finally, we address those whose patience or intellect is apparently not equal to the task of deciphering the quality of Our Speech - tough. We have chosen to address the Senate in this manner

because it amuses Us

. There is no ulterior motive nor attempt to deceive, it pleases us to employ a more sophisticated vocabulary, and that is all. If you lack the mental fortitude to perceive Our meaning, that is your failing, not Ours.

Nos sunt grata sit, non loqui

!

However, in our magnanimity, We hear the plight of Our People, and have decided to retain the services of a translator, a slave recently taken in the barbarian provinces of the Far North, whose speech is sufficiently akin to the grunts and brayings that our detractors employ that We hope their diminished wits may understand.

Expect a more topical speech from your Glorious Caesar forthwith.

Augustus Caesar

Spoiler: Grunts and Brayings

Alright you sons of whores, because the Boss Man thinks you're too dumb to understand, he's got me interpreting now.

Good for you.

Caesar doesn't work for you. He speaks the way he does because HE WANTS TO. FUCKING DEAL WITH IT. This gimmick is the most fun he's had writing posts EVER. He's not giving it up, and he doesn't think it's a problem. Adapt.

Further, 173 pages in five and a half days or whatever is Fucking Horseshit. How fucking DARE you have a problem with people who can't keep up with that. He's mostly caught up now, having lost sleep trying to vainly skim the piles of manure you fuckwits produced D1, and is entirely current now.

Finally, he will be having me post TL;DL summaries down below here from time to time (NOT ALWAYS, I DON'T WANT TO WRITE EVERY POST TWICE). This is because some of you shitheads aren't actually listening to what he has to say, just because you don't like the gimmick. Grow up. It's a game, we're in it to have fun. This is what's fun for me. Be grateful it's not in Latin (that's the rough translation of "

Nos sunt grata sit, non loqui

.")

Like I said, I'm caught up now, and you can expect full participation. Not the gross overproduction that some people are doing, but a reasonable, well-reasoned couple of posts a day. You know, a sane amount. I'm in this for QUALITY, not QUANTITY.

Anticipate a content-filled post about my reads in a few hours. Maybe morning.It's Valentine's Day, and I'm going to go fuck my wife. You know. Because I have a life.

I was fairly proud of my use of invective here

My advice to JaeReed is that--while I trust Jae as a vig to be awesome--personally my record as town is better with a doc and that doctor is a better longterm role than 1x vig.

Alright, I submitted build request for it.

@Nahdia are you still doing the bolded "x began building" stuff in here for us or not anymore since daychat is up?

Pine your gimmick is amazing and I love it <3 Thanks, because it's amusing me as well.

[Nahdia]

@Nahdia are you still doing the bolded "x began building" stuff in here for us or not anymore since daychat is up?

.................do you want me to? because i wasnt gonna bother, but if you INSIST....

[NoticeMeSenpai]

Ahahaha I mean you could expect us to not be lazy but it has a certain air to it with you announcing it ;p

[Nahdia]

NoticeMeSenpai is building the Parthenon.

[NoticeMeSenpai]

Ohhhh yeah that feels as good to see as I thought it would xP

[Nahdia]

i feel dirty

[Brian Skies]

Didn't realize the Parthenon was an option.

[Elbirn]

Legitimately not alignment indicative, I'm just busy beyond measure and didn't even get to be here for day start because I'm at work doing shit

And I will be mad if I die for that cuz I might as well be town

So uhm

I might replace out. Which I've never done before and it'll feel awful.

But like..I was 15 pages behind as of last night and just skipped them to say words in real time. Now I'm 30 pages back. And that's not even including the end of day 1 frenzy that I didn't get to participate in, which is probably at least another 20 pages or some bullshit.

Help

[Pine]

Hi Brian Skies. Welcome to the insane clusterfuck that is is game

Mod: If we submit a build request for something that was already built, when do we receive notification of failure?

[Nahdia]

Same time you would if someone with a higher priority built it; end of day.

[Elbirn]

34 pages back not including end of day 1

I read 10 pages, 15 more sprout up while i take a break to do homework. It's like a hydra.

Ahhhh

[Brian Skies]

Pine won't get lynched today, which is something I kind of assumed.

If we all make it to N2, we can send someone on a suicide mission to kill Mathblade,

if you want to

. It's a way out of this game, but something that should be given priority to someone likely to be investigated or shot anyway.

[Pine]

Nah I'll be fine. All I have to do is start producing content and half of the wagon evaporates.

[mastina]

Nahdia, I just have to say the following:
I am so, so, so, oh SO sorry that you put so much wonderful, beautiful work into a fine, lovely setup with an awesome concept and an amazing theme, and yet in spite of all of your hard work the game has gone to the gutter for reasons that are entirely beyond your ability to control. <3

It is so saddening to see so many names, both town and scum, leaving the game thanks to the difficulties involved. Fuck, if I were actually a player this game I wouldn't be able to stay myself, because there's SO much posts that even I wouldn't be able to read them all. The only reason I'm still around is because this is JaeReed's game and I'm here for the support; if I were in a hydra proper, then I myself would have flaked.

This game is hard, this game is harsh, this game is being nightmarish, and yet, you SO deserve better than this and it is my deep regret that you've got this much of a shitstorm on your hands. <3

[Nahdia]

it's okaaaay. i don't feel like it's going that bad, maybe i'm just being overly optimistic? at least it's not completely inactive!!

[mastina]

Eh, maybe it's going better than it appears. I am, after all, not an actively-involved player.
But, Drixx left us. Elbirn is considering leaving us. Spiffeh left the town. Titus left the town. You're having players who would normally never leave the game, leave the game, and from experience as a moderator, I know that watching it is heartbreaking. I hated every time it happened or was close to happening in Gistou, for instance, because I so wanted everyone to be able to play and have fun and when that wasn't the case, it made me very sad.

[Elbirn]

Fucking Spiffeh and titus left?

Ugggghhh I was pocketing them afhquxjehq83hxba

[NoticeMeSenpai]

Elbirn please don't leave <3 I'll cut down on the posting a bit I just needed to have a post explosion to pull myself out of the running of lynchables for the day.

[Pine]

Actually, in the last half day or so the posting rate has dropped precipitously to a reasonable amount. I think the loss of Beeboy and Fro99er, plus the departure of Titus and Spiffeh did it. Those four were really some of the biggest offenders, and the others have a lot less to play off of with them gone.

[NoticeMeSenpai]

80+ posts coming from like 5 slots in a 24 hour time frame each day was not reasonable, I agree.

[NoticeMeSenpai]

ssbm do you want some help making stances?
