While We Wait: Boredom Strikes Back

[SKILORD]

True Story: It's my native tongue, I spoke fluent sarcasm by 10 months, but didn't pick up English for another 4 years.

It's a tough habit to break.

 

[Tee Kay]

Are you Australian?

 

[SKILORD]

No, my upbringing was geographically located in the Caribbean and now I am a, well, a state-sider.

But I've known my share of Aussies, an Aussie cost me like 3 grand once (well, cost 1up like 2 grand, but I ended up pocketing costs on that particular occasion too, so I'll still claim 1 grand of the losses and ignore potential earnings) and I try to forgive your people for that every day. But I get how sarcasm could be big down there, I've seen the original Wilfred.

Imperium Offtopicum has its own subforum! A form of game which came from older, NESlite/Map Game/Forums at War, it has a generally accepted baseline ruleset based on provinces and roleplay with many variations, and has prevented OT spam through rigorious GMing and courtesy rules, thus moving it out of the Forum Games section.

I found out when my postcount was higher than it should have been if my IOT games were in the Forum Games Section.

 

[Tee Kay]

Wait, IOT has postcount now?

Speaking of which, Command and Conquer fans might want to check out my new Tiberium IOT. It's better than most, though I say so myself. Join us, but be quick. Places are filling fast!

I'll show myself out...

Is #NES down?

Bloody HELL AMNESIA: the dark descent is TERRIFYING

 

[nutranurse]

Quite.

My history/latin professor just suckered me into taking his 8am latin course. We'll be translating Livy!

Livy: Still Not As Bad As We Thought He Was Two Decades Ago, But A Mediocre Historian Nonetheless

 

[nutranurse]

It's always funny seeing how the historical community's opinion of earlier historians waxes and wanes with the decades. But for this purpose Livy is just serving as an example of passable latin. Next semester I'll be writing it--or more likely butchering the language even more.

Astronomy is just math in space. I am going to fail this course.

Astronomy is just math in space. I am going to fail this course.

Astronomy is like math, except 10x less math and (not coincidentally) 10x more interesting.

I kid, math majors, your classes are not boring.

Ish.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

No, seriously. Astro maths gets mental.

But all the cute cuddly stuff is fairly straight forward.

 

[nutranurse]

Yeah, the class isn't as daunting as I thought it would be. But still, I haven't picked up a calculator for anything non-NES related in 4+ years.

 

[Kozmos]

I was thinking of installing one in my body.

brief history: red is english-france-norway super kingdom of boring
western greens: the germanic league with its vassal states of aragonienreich and bohemen
cyan: the habsburg monarchy
pink: the glorious polish-lithuanian commonwealth
eastern greens: russia and ottoman turkey
blue: water and sweden
gray: swedish puppet state

----

forward a few years:

western europe:
tensions rise as german league annexed its protectorates
british declare war
northern blitzkrieg going strong, southern blitz peters out and divisions there surrounded
central europe:
a hotbed of communists!
bavaria and austria wrested from habsburgs by communists, peace is signed but tensions high
with advent of british-german war, the spartakist bavarians invade northern italy and connect with their comrade revolutionaries
habsburgs invade ottomans early with british aid, ensuing chaos force hands of habsburgs for the autonomy of croatia and loss of german and polish territories
british establish athenian protectorate
eastern europe:
more communists! polish-lithuanian communists secure territory from habsburgs and fight the commonwealth
commonwealth loses ukraine to nationalists early on, but secures some territorial gains in later wars before the communist threat arrived
with advent of communist revolution, baltic swedish puppet invades poland-lithuania to aid in the fighting of commie scum
with aid of british instigators, finno-ugric socialist-nationalists declare independence from russia
russia barraged by communist revolution! soviets establish base in north and have tentative alliance with finno-ugrics
sweden loses territory to commonwealth in early war but accepts losses and turns inwards
