Holy fuck shut the fuck up why do you have to fucking post 900 fucking times in a row fucking stop holy fuck

I'm going to fucking lose my goddamn mind on UT after this game for baiting me and Equinox into this bullshit.

Full disclosure, Equinox has read literally nothing. I told him he had to read this week but honestly I don't think I can in good faith tell him it's worth reading at this point and I care about his mental health so we'll probably just fuck it YOLO nuke someone (like Merlot) and just vibe

Sheep me.

I've read maybe a page and a half. I usually find something on the last page ai read or something recent to respond to and that's it. DEFCON 5 and 4 are like 97% shit posts.

Let me summarize for you

Joqiza: hi, I'm town
Pooky, nexus, and someone else I bet: et al is scum
Et al: nuh uh
LLD, probably some other people: mastina is scum
Mastina: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Not in this case.

We're basically in honorary DEFCON 3.

Apologies for not being very PRESENT. I will probably be reading up on everything tonight but something I really didn’t expect was how the game design makes it really difficult (for me at least) to identify the point of posting (or even thinking, really) anything of proper substance at this point.

It does all feel superfluous at the moment. Am I wrong?

Holy fuck shut the fuck up why do you have to fucking post 900 fucking times in a row fucking stop holy fuck

1) why did you quote this post specifically? it’s sandwiched between two “content” posts sans a small like, got to go sort of one because whether or not you think my content is meaningful when you pick out something like that i think that you’re trying to frame /all/ of it as useless when i was catching up — and even then while posting a lot in a row it takes up like, what, one page of posts in a row, two? it doesn’t even bring me close to meeting the people who have the most posts

2) why not just ask me to post less instead of jumping to the conclusion that you’re going to kill me? do you think i’m that unwilling to change how i play?

3) this feels like a bit like team mafia at the start when you were getting annoyed over posting style and throwing it out there to like... be cantankerous and in character, maybe is the way to put it? i don’t know if you feel a need to always project that in games but that’s where my head went

that or it feels mildly like some sort of grudge which like, shrug can’t do much about

everyone knows their alignment in defcon 5/4 just as well as they do in 3

I think you're right. I had a feeling I was being excessively glum

As much as I dislike hyperposting meta (Ironic for people who know me) if your response to someone having fun is to tell them to shut the fuck up and launch into this condescending tirade about how much worse everything is for it, perhaps you are the one with the unhealthy mindset towards the game. There is not liking a style and finding it detrimental to your experience and there is being a gigantic prick about it.

Also I read the part about mastina playing EpicMafia and now I want to see mastina play an epicmafia game! Sad times

Anyway, I digress.

I don't really have proper reads right now and there's something oddly freeing about it.

I might do a reads list later

Also Cephrir we are damn well going to hallow this ground, just you watch!

It wasnt that many posts, and it didnt take so long to read, why are you freaking out over something so trivial?

Oh hi, sorry for missing this, and for generally being a real wet blanket. I will be better tomorrow

"Chairman - the worst has happened. The Americans are in. They have accessed some of our systems. They are making movements for war."
"Well then fucking stop them! What do I keep you around for anyways?"

The Chairman turns around and slaps the Assistant. Pow! The Assistant takes it in stride. Anything for the Chairman.

"Take us to DEFCON 3. We need to find these idiots and make examples out of them. No one revolts against MOTHER RUSSIA."
"Very well sir. We will find someone to get rid of. Make a big spectacle out of it. That'll shut them up."
"I hope it shuts you up too. God."
"Sir I meant no offen-"
"SHUSH."

The Chairman facepalms. What happened to good Soviet labor? All sent to Siberia. Now just left with the bootlickers.

"Brief the taskforce. I want everyone ready for full-out war. If there are any offensive maneuvers we will have to strike back. Now get to it."

It is now DEFCON 3.

With 24 alive it takes 13 to eliminate.
