sandy-general

[sonic dagger]

them working is all i care tbh

so long as you're not chen hai level trash

[charred solar]

its weird tho, like, most gacha games whenever they release new characters, they always release new meta characters usually, but azurlane doesn't follow that formula as much

i mean, that's what i heard, if you dont have enterprise, essex is a good replacement

[sonic dagger]

Just delete radar scan from the game entirely and you will open up a whole new options of build variety

[limber vigil]

Helena bad

[charred solar]

sadge to hear that

now a random question

is the popularity of the character greatly linked to their effectiveness metawise or it goes to how much of a waifu people take her for?

[devout meteor]

I mean idc about meta either. I will drag Bunker and Shangri to W13 no questions asked

[sonic dagger]

prinz is pretty popular with several l2d skins and i'd like to think she is by no means meta

[devout meteor]

she is shit

[sonic dagger]

i love my shit

[devout meteor]

[charred solar]

lmao

[devout meteor]

Tru

[barren jay]

Bache is popular and she has no right being in combat

Mutsuki is popular too

[limber vigil]

Fortune

[charred solar]

so popularity goes more to waifu part, i see

[tardy elk]

[devout meteor]

I mean people sorta sleep on vanguard. And she is okay

[tardy elk]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-one-eyebrow-raised-rock-staring-the-rock-gif-22113367

[limber vigil]

Mfw cn loves vanguard's skin

[charred solar]

tell me a strong meta character that she is not popular at all

[sonic dagger]

i meant prinz

[sonic dagger]

never seen people talk about marco polo

[tardy elk]

Gameplay whise or character whise?

[sonic dagger]

but i think she's solid

also idk why people dislike her design

she cool

[charred solar]

i dont even know her

[sonic dagger]

see

[charred solar]

ok she's not that great of a waifu appearance wise

her design is weird

[tardy elk]

Shes cool
Also got some lore stuff on her with being mind controlled by a siren

[limber vigil]

MP's got an amazing design tho

Split tongue

[sonic dagger]

yes

[limber vigil]

[tardy elk]

Some people into that you know

[sonic dagger]

big charisma

jojo references

cards

[devout meteor]

Bit of both. She was hyped when she came out but ya don't see her pop up much more

she is a decent ship

[tardy elk]

I think ulrich was supoosed to have that but scrapped it

[devout meteor]

just not the best UR

[charred solar]

her design isnt good tho

[tardy elk]

But idk

[tardy elk]

Idk i like it

[limber vigil]

Her design's pretty flavorful

[charred solar]

so, we got more examples of unpopular meta characters?

[tardy elk]

Shes gameplaywhise probably the worse ur
She got good support but her own damage is so low that you can just run a 3rd dps

[charred solar]

f

[devout meteor]

it do be like that

[limber vigil]

I mean, there's a lot of different examples based on different communities

[devout meteor]

another hms F 😔

[limber vigil]

CN loves Cheshire and Vanguard, EN doesn't care for them

[sonic dagger]

i love cta

[tardy elk]

Finally getting a ur then sucks

[sonic dagger]

i started AL because of cta

[tardy elk]

Atleast plymouth is good

Hope bel retros soon

[charred solar]

yes i can imagine that happening, different cultures different tastes for sure
but i mean more as on general, for everyone,

[limber vigil]

Frisco's technically meta but barely anyone mentions her

[charred solar]

lemme check her, her name is not familiar to me, so thats a good example already

[limber vigil]

Ulrich and Plymouth's popularity basically survived due to ohisashi loving his girls so much

[devout meteor]

I would rather want a Queen Elizabeth retro first ngl.

her art is so outdated too

[charred solar]

even google didnt gave me any result other than san francisco

[sonic dagger]

prinz eugen retro

you just get a free agir

[tardy elk]

Eh plymouth still pretty new

[sonic dagger]

[limber vigil]

See?

[tardy elk]

Only half a year

[charred solar]

is she even part of al wiki? lmao

[sonic dagger]

san francisco is really versatile

[charred solar]

lmao, nothing

[limber vigil]

She has two skins!

[tardy elk]

Most forgotten ship of 2022 and at the same time ur is probably kronk
She has like no art and alot of that is from dishwasher herself

[limber vigil]

Lmao yeah

[charred solar]

lemme check those 2

[sonic dagger]

i love kronk

[tardy elk]

You can like her

Just both her and her event (unless you a lore player) is pretty forgettable

[devout meteor]

I don't mind Kronk or Musushi. But i just dislike the way Dish is. So i am kinda on the fence about them

[tardy elk]

Also kronk might have gotten a meta almost

[limber vigil]

I'm more disappointed with dish than disliking him

I can't stand his fanbase tho

[charred solar]

oh, Ulrich is one of those edgy girls, but her design is not that unique , i like this kind of design tho, Plymouth is literally older unicorn

[steady marlin]

@slender pagoda Sounds like the time has come to reclaim the old ruins of the Republic of Sandy and proudly hoist the Sandy Banner again!!

[sonic dagger]

oathed uvh

i love her too

[limber vigil]

Plymouth and Ulrich are like, KAngel and Ame

[charred solar]

KAngel noice

[devout meteor]

Ulrich top tier

[sonic dagger]

i saw long hair art of UvH

truly missing out

[charred solar]

her design reminds me of Spee design, but i'd rather take Spee, her color scheme is way better as well

[slender pagoda]

no external emotes and stickers

pack it up we're going home

[sonic dagger]

https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/5462142?q=ulrich_von_hutten_(azur_lane)+long_hair+

[charred solar]

she do be looking really good here

[sonic dagger]

her og artist had a lot more long hair variants too

but they're too spicy for this server so

[charred solar]

F

i like this edgy mf

[tardy elk]

Shes not edgy

[charred solar]

she is edgy for sure

[tardy elk]

No Shes cinnamon roll

[sonic dagger]

she does talk about how pointless the world is

[charred solar]

me: a
her: i shall end the world now

[devout meteor]

Maybe one day in a skin

[steady marlin]

Don't need to. I'm a member since a veeeeeery long time. ^^

[tardy elk]

She pretends to be though and want world domination but is a sweet heart

[charred solar]

yes, that much i know

[tardy elk]

Same
I wanna leave tho

[charred solar]

thats why i like her

[tardy elk]

Need belfast cult

[charred solar]

belfast? what about your pfp

its P... time

its Ponkan🍊 time

[wraith sail]

[tardy elk]

Its rat time

[charred solar]

morbin time

[tardy elk]

I like maya

[steady marlin]

[tardy elk]

I know shes not german but she fits in this discussion

[charred solar]

[wraith sail]

:HoweXD:

[devout meteor]

[tardy elk]

Whos she tho

I wanna see her face

[charred solar]

sounds like good coordinates to send a nuke at

[tardy elk]

Thetowergetsdestroyed
Thetowersurvived
Thetowerliveforever

[neon anchor]

Can I send thug royale in this server?

[wraith sail]

The numbers, Mason! What do they mean?!

[charred solar]

we all lift together, TOGETHEEEEEER whistles

[charred solar]

unfortunately i briefly know such reference, yet imma nuke this place anyway

[charred solar]

[neon anchor]

[charred solar]

👺

[unique yew]

does anyone have experience with painting scale figures here

been having a difficult time since I need to hand paint things

[supple birch]

might have a better shot poking around in #artist-lounge or the likes

[safe wave]

people call me artistic but I dont think I can help

[keen heath]

well time for Sandy to go into hibernation again

[proper kraken]

Well holy shit

Essex is no more

[sonic dagger]

[proper kraken]

That should be... Arbiter (some number): The Tower

[steady marlin]

Yes. These once beautiful lands have been saved from the terrible curse which plagued them for aeons.

[charred solar]

you mean blessing, right?

[steady marlin]

NO.

I meaned what I wrote. ^^

[devout meteor]

Now it is time for it to heal and let nature come back as intended

[finite rock]

[proper kraken]

Nature is healing

[vocal fiber]

how do you get more lets iron blood points for research?

[proper kraken]

Uhhh

Max limit breaking IB ships and taking said ships to levels 100/120 respectively

[vocal fiber]

oh, ok thanks ^^

[proper kraken]

You welcome

[marsh roost]

Essex posting is the most natural state of mankind

[barren jay]

Well time for a change

[marsh roost]

[finite rock]

[sonic dagger]

[barren jay]

Read the pins please

Essex posting for the sake of Essex posting is done

[young badge]

Well wasn't this place originally Memes 1.5 when the memes channel died due to massive cringe posting

[barren jay]

No. There was no “memes 1.5”

[young badge]

Not saying there was, but saying that this channel was treated as such

[barren jay]

Well it’s not being treated that way anymore

[sonic dagger]

i mean

[young badge]

[sonic dagger]

its 3 emotes

and it didnt distract or sabotage any other discussion happening at that moment

the chat was dead lol

[young badge]

So posting anything Essex related is now a bad thing?

[barren jay]

You missed the giant Bocchi the Sex image posted for no reason than to post Bocchi the Sex

[young badge]

[sonic dagger]

ngl that sounds funny

[young badge]

Sometimes I'm glad I'm not on discord 24/7

[sonic dagger]

[buoyant gull]

[young badge]

If I wanted to see that I'd go to one of the nsfw sections on another server that I'm on

[barren jay]

[young badge]

Not saying which one, and going to leave it at that

[barren jay]

It’s Bocchi, from Bocchi the rock, except it’s Essex

Get your mind out of the gutter

[buoyant gull]

so essex posting is dead on this server?

[young badge]

[young badge]

Can't always has been

[barren jay]

In this channel

We’re no longer allowing essex posting for the sole purpose of posting Essex

It’s literally just become spam, the same Essex images endlessly

[buoyant gull]

what is the new channel for essex?

[barren jay]

There isn’t one

[buoyant gull]

rip

[barren jay]

You’re free to make your own server and your own Essex channel in that server.

[young badge]

So I can't post this video of Country Roads with Chibi West Virginia dancing and Essex playing the guitar here at all?

[barren jay]

No, because it’s been posted like 90 times this month and you’d be posting it for no reason other than to post Essex.

[young badge]

Really, I didn't know it was posted that much here

And you're saying it was posted that many times in 2 days?

[barren jay]

I forgot it was February but you should’ve known what I meant

[young badge]

Had to get you on that to be sure you know

[barren jay]

Thank you, your insight is much appreciated.

[young badge]

[barren jay]

That’s nice

But that doesn’t change the fact I said “no Essex posting for the sake of Essex posting”

Posting a random, no context, no purpose Essex meme/image/video is no longer the ‘theme’ of this channel.

I won’t say it again

[sonic dagger]

he was...talking about something lol

[barren jay]

Oh look a meme I’ve seen reformatted a million times

[barren jay]

He was talking about something and along with that something posted a random pointless Essex meme

[sonic dagger]

is that any different from posting the same message with a picture of a piece of bread

and if so

would you remove that one too

isn't that contradictory to the pinned message

[barren jay]

What are you even reaching for lmao

[sonic dagger]

oo defensive immediately

[gaunt grove]

free the sex

[barren jay]

If someone talked about how the sky is blue and posted a picture of a piece of bread to go with it I’d ask them why they posted the image, what reason it had to be with that post

[gaunt grove]

on the topic of eagle union carriers, long island oath skin soon please I beg

[barren jay]

If someone talks about reading umineko and posts an Essex meme that has nothing at all to do with umineko, I’m going to delete it because it’s an Essex meme for the sake of an Essex meme

[charred solar]

what if i posted an essex meme reading umineko?

[gaunt grove]

but what if it was Essex on Beatrice face

[charred solar]

i think i've seen something like that before

[barren jay]

Im through discussing this. There are no loopholes, there is no way out of it. Y’all have dug your graves and will lie in them.

[neon anchor]

bro think he’s doing something 💀

[sonic dagger]

yep

[charred solar]

therefore even if the essex in question is posted within the context, it is still wrong and something you shouldn't do

[gaunt grove]

post enterprise for the sake of enterprise postibg

[barren jay]

I am, I’m watching Charborg play Project Zomboid

That qualifies as something

[gaunt grove]

rip to a legend

[young badge]

[barren jay]

[charred solar]

may sex bless your soul

[barren jay]

No thanks.

[charred solar]

it's okay, sex is not racist, she loves us all

[young badge]

Not sure if a can of worms is being opened or we're trying to end a long running meme

[thorny cradle]

Essex is Eternal so it's okay

[barren jay]

She can be eternal on another server then.

[young badge]

Problem is she's considered a meme even by devs standards you know

[thorny cradle]

they can't kill the meme, she grew too big and then was immortalised by the devs ingame

she is literally eternal now

well, until EoS anyway

[charred solar]

i cant help but wonder whot he fuck returned here

[past karma]

so we're just back to sandymaxxing then

[gaunt grove]

what doesn't kill sex makes her stronger

[sonic dagger]

its ok let them experience the streisand effect in full form

[gaunt grove]

sex by next week

[charred solar]

literally

[charred solar]

i am the sex that is approaching

[barren jay]

We don’t care how much of a meme Essex is, and that’s not even the topic of what’s at hand here lmfao

This chat has been just FULL of reach

[devout meteor]

Chriss. I want whatever you are huffing. Please man i need your supplier. I have never seen someone so delirious

[barren jay]

They seem to think that we’re like

Disagreeing that Essex is a meme?

That that’s the entire issue lol

[young badge]

More like you guys don't want Essex memes to be posted

[barren jay]

More like we don’t want this channel to be spammed with the same 5 Essex memes every day for no reason other than Essex

[devout meteor]

I mean they can think what they wanna

[barren jay]

Again, the reach!

[devout meteor]

Our rules.

🦐

[young badge]

[devout meteor]

I can already hear it now

"But its an official server"

Yea. So?

I mean if they really want to. They can take it up the chain

past us

since we are "biased"

Rarely anyone does tho. Shame

It's easier to pretend you care than actually do something

[charred solar]

may sex forgive your poor souls

[barren jay]

I’d rather her not

Go worship her elsewhere. Like a server dedicated to posting Essex

[charred solar]

i gotta recruit new essex believers, its never enough

[young badge]

Then you might as well get rid of every Essex emotes and sticker while you're at this by the way

[barren jay]

Recruit them elsewhere then.

Wolfie, can you please stop reaching.

[young badge]

Who said I was

[barren jay]

While you’re at it, if you’re just here to be involved in conflict, you can leave

[charred solar]

is that within the rules or you're making it up?

[barren jay]

I don’t care what you do somewhere else

Go to another server and get yourself banned for trying to brainwash people

[charred solar]

posting essex is brainwashing now? lmao

[gaunt grove]

that's certainly a reach

[charred solar]

i'd rather call it, sexwashing

[barren jay]

My dude you literally are trying to recruit people into worshiping her

[charred solar]

[devout meteor]

We are not saying the meme shall perish forever in any form

Besides.

There are people who still wants essex emotes. Not just for here but other places

[charred solar]

thats how the sandy cult started tho

[devout meteor]

And it is a AL server. So we will have emotes

[barren jay]

There are people who use Essex emotes in proper situations, in a way that makes sense for the emote to be used too

[devout meteor]

There is just a line what will accept

its really that simple

[charred solar]

you could have quoted me on that one

[barren jay]

There are people who don’t simply post Essex emotes because haha funny meme girl

[devout meteor]

But i feel like a broken record at this point so whatever

[young badge]

Okay I wanted that to be clear there if that was the case

[barren jay]

You always want to be clear and ignore when people tell you what there is to be clear about

[charred solar]

insert it's that shrimple gif here

[desert flame]

[gaunt grove]

[young badge]

Because I don't want us to see the Essex Fallen sticker spammed again you know

[barren jay]

So stop trying to jump into conflict just because conflict.

[devout meteor]

People seem to forget i was advocating for adding back essex fallen when it was removed cause it was "spammed in maint"

[supple birch]

I wouldn't have minded seeing it gone

[barren jay]

Honestly with the reaction this single channel has given in the past day, I’d love to remove every Essex emote and publicly call out #sandy-general as the reason.

[gaunt grove]

[devout meteor]

Well. That is why you are not emote managers

[charred solar]

remember guys, the real essex is the friends we made along the way

[devout meteor]

If ya want to remove em. Sure. But then you are forced to do the next rotation. And stick to the post for 3 months

Such is the emote manager law

[barren jay]

Nah, I’d just mute the emote management channel. Like I have already

[young badge]

[gaunt grove]

[charred solar]

☕

[native drift]

[devout meteor]

Understandable. But no.

Besides. There hasn't been suggestions for a while

[native drift]

I have a few amagi chan but can't share unfortunately due to artist request

[loud compass]

the sandy era died, and the essex era has also died, the circle of life continues

[charred solar]

i dont think so

[young badge]

Nah the Sandy Era will happen again

[loud compass]

not if I have anything to say about that

[native drift]

I too am waiting for Denver skin

[young badge]

Then it'll go to far again, and then Essex will be back

It's a vicious cycle between the two

[charred solar]

soontm

[thorny cradle]

Nixy was bullied out of ALO so sandy cult is dead

[gaunt grove]

time for long island era

[loud compass]

you are my favourite

[native drift]

First cleve to 120

And secretary rotation

[loud compass]

yes

good choice

she is the only one out of her sisters skinless and it saddens me

[young badge]

[loud compass]

#justicefordenver

[young badge]

Columbia got hers via the paid Cruise Missions pass

[native drift]

Oh, externals are locked

Rip

[young badge]

[native drift]

:ishtarcry:

Maybe next cruise pass?

Or denver meta?

[supple birch]

nixy
bullied out of ALO

[loud compass]

She had the valentines skin too

Or was it schoolgirl

Schoolgirl with a valentine

[native drift]

Yeah, schoolgirl valentine

[devout meteor]

Harsh. I worked hard on that pun too

[charred solar]

there is still some hope left

[devout meteor]

Nah.

Maybe another time

in another universe

where there will be another ALO essex aprils fools

[charred solar]

and you guys are forced to put essex stuff here against your will? sounds good
Essex propaganda

bringing even more believers to our cult

[devout meteor]

You are already starting to sound like lexi. Works for me

[charred solar]

i have no idea who lexi is

i'm just sharing wisdom and knowledge

[devout meteor]

By gods Addie. its working!

[barren jay]

If you say so

They’re still going on and on about Essex so I don’t see it as any sort of progress lol

[devout meteor]

Everything in due time

its been a day or so

[gaunt grove]

is this some kind of mod conspiracy or something lol

[barren jay]

Yea

[devout meteor]

Do you want it to be?

[barren jay]

Anything is a conspiracy if you’re crazy enough to think it is

[gaunt grove]

the only kind of piracy I want is of nintendo games

so not really

[devout meteor]

Then yes

still yes

[gaunt grove]

damn.

[charred solar]

its not like big techs would be selling our data to others for money

stop with the conspiracy

[gaunt grove]

a conspiracy has to be not fully confirmed

[devout meteor]

5G? More like 5 guiness pints

[gaunt grove]

I'll drink to that

[charred solar]

but until it got confirmed, all we had was conspiracy theories

[devout meteor]

[charred solar]

now everyone knows the truth

i mean i hate how its true, cant even talk shit next to my phone without google showing me ads of something i just said but oh well

[barren jay]

More like 5 gallons of rum

[devout meteor]

silly addie

its 5G not 5R

5R sounds like a toyota sports car

[barren jay]

That’s why I said 5 gallons

[native drift]

5g horse

[devout meteor]

But ya can't drink the concept of gallons. Atleast. Not that i know of

[charred solar]

damn i miss Yamaha YZF-R25

[devout meteor]

5 gallons worth of gallons?

[steady marlin]

[loud compass]

Watch me

[devout meteor]

Koli no

[loud compass]

[steady marlin]

Sandy will never die. She's eternal. All your next SSRs will be Sandys. :<

[loud compass]

How dare you

[steady marlin]

I do.

[loud compass]

amost of my non event SSRs have been enterprise actually so I would take sandy over that

[native drift]

I haven't got a sandy for a long while now

[steady marlin]

:sadge:

[devout meteor]

Same. I miss getting sandy

[native drift]

I keep getting yukikaze

[steady marlin]

I keep getting Hoods 😦

[devout meteor]

Not the worst. She is the luckiest ship after all

freaking hood. dude?

[young badge]

[steady marlin]

Yes, but there's a problem. I already have on Hood as a wife. And it gets exhausting with more and more Hoods.

[steady marlin]

Do you know how much port budget is needed to cover for tea costs?

[barren jay]

Burger King has some potent onions

I’ve washed my hands like 15 times and taken a shower since I had a burger yesterday and my hands still have onion smell. I don’t know how to make it stop D:

[young badge]

Cold showers help

Or is it hot showers?

[devout meteor]

There was an attempt

[devout meteor]

The more hoods the merrier though

[gaunt grove]

take off the onions next time

[young badge]

Like hotter than the depths of hell hot

[barren jay]

I love onions though. Especially on a burger

[devout meteor]

You are the onion person now. Its your super power

[gaunt grove]

bring your own onion

diy

[young badge]

Hey

At least it wasn't garlic

[barren jay]

I’ve just never had some onions that are so onion that the smell lingers for like a whole day

[young badge]

Did you also have onion rings too?

[native drift]

Your soap is mid then

Also BK

[young badge]

Have it a way

[barren jay]

Nope, just normal white/yellow onions

They were heccin good

[devout meteor]

Iirc if they smell that much they must be real fresh tho right?

[vital parcel]

big fan of the beekay

[barren jay]

I can’t remember which way it is

It either means they’re fresh as fuck or slightly old

[steady marlin]

If you mean with "merrier" hearing "Shikikan-sama! Shikikan-sama! Ara Ara. Ara Ara." all the time? xD

[devout meteor]

I will take a guess and say old then

[native drift]

Yes, onions are strong of odor if they're fresh

[devout meteor]

fresh and fastfood is... Well

[devout meteor]

Not the worst way to go

[steady marlin]

I agree. xD

[native drift]

Probably just ripped from the packaging for yours and the smell got stuck before it vent out

Have you considered showering?

[barren jay]

I have, and I’ve washed my hands like 15 times since I ate this burger like... 25 hours ago

Never had onions stay this long before xD

[vital parcel]

shyny is not a stinky gamer?

[native drift]

Clothes maybe?

[devout meteor]

I thought that was Silent

[barren jay]

I shower nightly

[barren jay]

No it’s legit on just my hand

[vital parcel]

speaking of gaming I probably wont be on elden ring tonight

[barren jay]

My right index and thumb to be exact, since those are the fingers I used to eat the onions

[vital parcel]

I would love to but I woke up early for a small procedure and man im really tired for some reason

going in public has exhausted me

[supple birch]

[barren jay]

I wanna play more elden ring but if I do I’ll be lost for another 100 hours

[native drift]

Ehh

Submerge your hands in rubbing alcohol for 10m maybe?

[young badge]

N-no Maidens?

[nimble orchid]

[dapper abyss]

Wow, i missed all the essex memers malding about being told to cut back on the memes by the admins

[worldly ermine]

[unreal spire]

[dapper abyss]

wow, you're salty aren't you?

[barren jay]

What is it?~ I’m assuming either some kind of mod hate or Essex post, but my phone doesn’t wanna play it

[dapper abyss]

both

[barren jay]

Ooooo gimmie details

[dapper abyss]

call it a travesty that essex is being cracked down on, and declaring "war" on woke moralists and anti-coomers

[barren jay]

I wish I could post my kek emotes over that

[marsh roost]

Its pretty funny

[barren jay]

If you say so

The fact it’s Essex related automatically makes it severely unfunny though

So there’s that

[marsh roost]

K

[barren jay]

Okay finally heard it, kinda funny, but only because it was Dagoth Ur

But also not funny because how dare you use Dagoth Ur in such a way

[limber vigil]

[timber hollow]

[marsh roost]

See syan loves essex, why cant you shyny

[dapper abyss]

shyny has a lower tolerance for stale memes

[marsh roost]

Its not just a meme, its a way of life

too bad that way of life hasn't been giving any good things for too long

[safe wave]

most coherent essex denier

[marsh roost]

Only the sour narrow minded cant see the beauty in simplicity

[dapper abyss]

i want to see innovation from essex memers, but they always fail to live up to that expectation

[finite rock]

🫳

[limber vigil]

No I hate Essex

[calm stump]

Red men have based opinions

[marsh roost]

i expected that from red men but spoot... how could you

[hidden blade]

[calm stump]

I was never on essex's side. I hate every single one of the essex memes.

Repetitive, low effort junk

[spice veldt]

[supple birch]

spoot being right for once

[calm stump]

[steady marlin]

Wow! One thing we have in common.

[keen heath]

sanya loves essex not syanda

[marsh roost]

[timber hollow]

[lethal coral]

hi

[maiden fossil]

Yes. All hail the sex

[charred solar]

so true

[young badge]

So wait we're still complaining about the Essex memes still? I mean don't we have anything else better to do like revive the Sandy Cult in #sandy-general here?

[neon anchor]

yugonmekmibus

[hidden blade]

true

[barren jay]

They are indeed yes. And we won’t be reviving the sandy cult either

This chat is not going to any form of meme spam again

[ember raven]

Ehhhhh

[peak flax]

[barren jay]

Cease Essex

[royal island]

Sex will never die

[calm stump]

the memes will

sooner or later

[tardy elk]

ye

wish we know hpw she looks

maybe its only a rigging tho

[proper kraken]

I think it's only rigging for now

But then there was also that figure which commander saw from the end of Musashi's event

And later on in the Yorky II event

It didn't seem like The Devil

[dapper abyss]

that's likely High Priestess

[young badge]

But this is the Sandy Server, known for Sandy memes

[mint lintel]

The age of memes is over, the time of generic discussions has come.

[young badge]

[nimble orchid]

Wait so I can’t post one of my memes here?

[barren jay]

Considering this server isn’t for memes

[dapper abyss]

memes are verboten after idiots got mad about #memes being slowed to allow mods to enforce the ToS

[brittle current]

does anyone know which channel can help with fleet formations?

[dapper abyss]

#gameplay-help

[brittle current]

thanks i didnt see that lol

[keen heath]

He really send that man to hell

[young badge]

Well he might be better off going to #lexington-general or maybe even #amagi-general since they might help for once

[safe wave]

#gameplay-help aka the 'works on my machine' channel

if its about opsi then you're probably best off checking the chinese wiki

but honestly pretty much anything can clear all but the hardest content

[devout meteor]

Could be worse. Coulda been directed to general where you woulda said something

Also GPH is fine. Lot less worse than it used to be

[young badge]

So, there's a lot less insults and whatnot thrown around over in gph as of late Varia?

I mean I wouldn't know since I'm too scared to even wonder in there

same for #al-general

[marsh roost]

#lexington-general can only help with warthunder

[young badge]

Ah yes the "How to get on a Watchlist game"

[marsh roost]

[stoic reef]

I come back after a week to see mods patrolling chat and not a meme in sight. Yeah, just another great day in Sandy-general

[barren jay]

[sacred linden]

[timber hollow]

[devout meteor]

It is.

[marsh roost]

You’re fine 😳

[maiden fossil]

[devout meteor]

She looks more like a italian bote than an american one ngl

[young badge]

We need most Pasta girls though Varia

That and Baguette girls too

[hidden blade]

[desert flame]

alaska when

[marsh roost]

yeah, I see it

[keen heath]

she's lacking a lot of uhhh whatja call it colour detail?

[maiden fossil]

Yeah I could only find that online m8

[keen heath]

well find a better one then

[maiden fossil]

I cant

[keen heath]

make one then

If you can make fanfiction you can draw right

thats how it works

[maiden fossil]

I'm not so good as the others. For example

[simple tide]

If we get Alaska, I hope she isn’t just CB 3.0. Maybe like a lower hp pool but with the ability to buff the fleet, or idk something to differentiate her from the other CBs.

[weak sonnet]

I think that's how that works, yeah.

Boys quick question, Can you get Akagi or Kaga in the Sandy servers, Been in the fox mines for a while now

[hidden blade]

yes

it's a luck issue

[tidal moat]

[full acorn]

honestly not worth the while considering so many better options out there nowadays

[tidal moat]

like what?

[mint lintel]

imagine the game being like Pokemon in a way that the different servers each have different drops available.

[full acorn]

enterprise for one (obtained from rookie reward / retiring ships)
independence (retrofit, from shop) is another

and i also did 50 runs in 3-4*
not even a toolbox to show for it

i mean, they are nice for collection purposes but i wouldnt burn all that newbie resources into trying to get them

(i'm a 2-month+ old player in AL btw)

[tidal moat]

what's your level btw? is me getting level 50 in 3 days good?

I'm also about to get laffey to 100

all my ships have Rare and elite gear

[full acorn]

currently lv 82
that's fast so i think you are doing fine

[tidal moat]

One thing I've noticed is some players even lv 19 have Elite good ships

I didn't even get any rares till like LV 20~30

[full acorn]

i found this guide (although outdated) to be useful as a reference
https://slaimuda.github.io/ectl/#/newbguide

also can type /guide in #bot-spam

[tidal moat]

o thx

[brittle ether]

So #sandy-general got gentrified huh

[vocal fiber]

do we know about any upcoming banners? :0

[proper kraken]

Unfortunately not

[keen heath]

[unique yew]

generally, the only anime merch i buy these days are tcg. they work great as bookmarks

[maiden fossil]

Oh look. Something I cannot afford

[unique yew]

im not sure if people resell these anymore, they are usually more expensive the longer the series has passed

wecon has the chibisex card but it costs more in shipping than the actual card

[hidden blade]

i want one

[desert flame]

[crisp zodiac]

[native drift]

Get the weiss schwartz signed essex card

[unique yew]

Isn't that expensive?

usually signed or holo have a premium on them

[tulip hollow]

[finite rock]

it’s about $60 or so last I checked

[unique yew]

putangina

[maiden fossil]

Those games based on the other Union characters yo

[wraith sail]

Would be nice if I can ever find any sort of AL merch (in general) besides the anniversary artbooks and the mangas or novels.
But 90% of the merch of the see are Genshin or some other gacha game and I don't play either of them :KawaBleh:

[timber hollow]

[unique yew]

yeah, most anime merch you see are genshin related

I stopped playing it since i don't care for most of the cast other than a handful of characters

and other AL merch is insanely expensive

like the baltimore figure

the painting on it looks crisp

an essex nendoroid would be nice

[marsh roost]

has to have the face

[unique yew]

i'm not really sure why they're not going that route

when arknights already has multiple nendoroids

[marsh roost]

[wraith sail]

And especially how long AL has been around for.

[dapper abyss]

AL already has a Laffey nendo released, and there'san Ayanami, NJ, and Unicorn nendo to be released

[marsh roost]

noshiro figure costs so much

[safe wave]

wish they made figs that werent just skins ripped straight from the game

quality seems good but they lack originality

[wraith sail]

scale figures do be big

[unique yew]

Nj nendo

[dreamy epoch]

because kadowawa doesnt allow that

[shell saffron]

Essex nendo would be awesome

I would buy it immediately

[dapper abyss]

kado can tell Goodsmile JP what to do but the other branches can do what they want which is how we're getting AL nendos now

[unique yew]

Is this because of the kancolle rivalry?

[proper kraken]

Kancolle rivalry?

[dreamy epoch]

same theme, antromorph ww2 ships

I wish I have money to get NJ nendo yo

That must of been really painful

[safe wave]

not like you can really farm Hard mode though

[sacred linden]

nah

Is it even worth doing hard missions?

[sacred linden]

just skill issue

[tidal moat]

Yeah I guessed because of the 'Bataan'

in your name

[sacred linden]

it's a coincidence tho

it just happened that bataan is my favourite ship

used to be enty

[tidal moat]

It's a ship? wtf I didn't knew that ship existed

[sacred linden]

cvl

[mint lintel]

wouldnt that logic mean that if someone was named Essex Fanboy, theyd be american??

[sacred linden]

light carrier

[dapper abyss]

she loves the hellcat

[sacred linden]

hellcat

[tidal moat]

nahh, bataan is just a province in the Philippines

[mint lintel]

ik

[sacred linden]

she was named after the battle, not the province

[mint lintel]

Bataan is also a ship

[sacred linden]

[tidal moat]

I guess I learned something new

Should I put Akagi and Kaga on the same fleet

[sacred linden]

you're supposed to put them together

because they buff eachother

[tidal moat]

even better

this is the hardest part. I have to remove a ship in my fleet I've been using for so long

I know what I must do but i Don't know if I have the strength for it

[sacred linden]

nah

that's fine

dont use a single ship too long

wastes exp

[sacred linden]

level up and retro uni

one of the strongest healers in the game

[tidal moat]

yeah I know

so 3 carriers at the back is completely fine?

[sacred linden]

eh

good enough

as long as the vanguards can kill the suicide boats

[young badge]

Akagi looks so adorable at lvl 1

[hazy dock]

Hey there's nothing wrong with living in Upsidedownland, except with everything that lives there is out to kill you

And that's just the animals for starters

[open veldt]

I dont see a problem with that

[finite rock]

[young badge]

Is that her disappointed line?

[cold dust]

misinformation spreader

[young badge]

I'm sorry but they lost a war against Emus

Or am I mistaken?

[keen heath]

yes

[cold dust]

you are mistaken

[barren jay]

It was more of a draw iirc

[young badge]

But you fought birbs

Why though

[barren jay]

It’s actually on Wikipedia and it’s kinda interesting if you look past the incompetence of the army at the time

[young badge]

[barren jay]

Emus had begun being pests in farmlands

Like, absolutely devastating entire farms in a single day

It got so bad that the government actually supplied farmers with military weaponry to fight them off

[young badge]

Sounds like problem with location

[barren jay]

The birds were so stubborn and tanky too that they did not care

Reports of some birds being hit by mounted MG’s two to three dozen times before falling

Some being shot half a dozen times by rifles and being fine

[young badge]

[cold dust]

yeah it legit was just a pest control issue

[barren jay]

It’s less a ‘war’ and more of a military engagement because it wasn’t a “cleetus get the shotgun” issue anymore

[young badge]

But you didn't win though

[cold dust]

nor have most countries against common pests...?

[barren jay]

The meme that comes from it is the fact that the unforgiving locations (not the birds themselves) made moving equipment in to deal with the emus more hassle than the emus themselves

[young badge]

This almost feels like this should be discussed more in #history it feels like

[barren jay]

That and no one knew a fucking bird could take half a box of rounds from an MG before going down, which wound up driving up costs in a time where brass and copper were at a premium, especially in AU

[cold dust]

tbis is a server general, any topic is fine

[young badge]

Just saying

[barren jay]

I watched a video about it and it’s really kinda interesting to look at

[cold dust]

sam o'nellas video about it is very good

[young badge]

It's like you needed either hollow points or AP shells on them

[barren jay]

Everyone just memes about haha Australia lost to birds but it’s got a lot going on

[barren jay]

I think the one I saw was by Thoughty2?

[young badge]

I only knew about it via memes myself

[barren jay]

They legit had to resort to explosives in some cases which did more harm than good

It very nearly caused Australia’s version of the Irish potato famine

[young badge]

Well couldn't electrified fences work, or is that just a waste of time?

Or even barbed wire

[barren jay]

Hundreds of acres of farmland in a country that isn’t very farmable to begin with lost within a week

Dude these birds

Could eat 20-30 .308 rounds before dying

I don’t think a fence would work

[young badge]

Not even barbed wire could kill them?

[barren jay]

I want you to consider something. Would you rather be shot 20 times by a high power rifle or climb a pointy fence?

Then consider that you’re a massive fucking bird with super thick leg skin and the ability to jump like 10 feet into the air

[young badge]

It makes me wonder if KASEN did exist irl, would of ended something like this instead

[barren jay]

They legit considered naval strikes against the effected farm land before realizing that killing the birds won’t matter if there’s no farm left to save after

[young badge]

Also, I have to ask, isn't Emu meat even worth eating?

[barren jay]

I don’t think so, too gamey iirc from the video

So it’s not even like there’s a small upside to the killing of the birds

Like if it were a boar invasion you could atleast say “well the crops are dead but we have several thousand pounds of pork to sell atleast”

[young badge]

Damn, thought they would taste like chicken, like how gators are

[barren jay]

But in this scenario no you’re just fucked

And from what I remember of the video it’s still an issue

Emus are like the deer in the roads of AU, they cause hundreds of traffic accidents. And they’re still an absolute pest to farmland

[young badge]

But deer meat is tasty

[barren jay]

Yeah, so imagine the same issue the US rural areas has with deer in the road except now there’s no meat to salvage and the deer will probably survive and try to kill you after being hit

[young badge]

That's how Emus work then I take it?

[vagrant wind]

[young badge]

[vagrant wind]

[inland nymph]

From what I can remember, the government give up using the military and just let the civilian to hunt the emus for couple of bucks per emus right?

So much for "Devs not liking Essex being a cute meme character"

so adorable, Essex trying to make chocolate

[dapper abyss]

it wasn't a petty ban, it was much needed as people were spamming Essex like idiots

the "fun" that was drowning out other fun whenever maintenance chats were opened you mean?

of course I do, I like to get information about the game unlike the braindead Essex memers

[marsh roost]

you make it like the whole server was full of them

the Essex spamming made it seem that way

[hidden blade]

[vagrant wind]

[dapper abyss]

the devs like Essex, they love Saratoga. It's why Sara has so many skins and is the icon for the JP app

[sweet crane]

If devs truly loved Essex, she would be the icon on the global app, which she doesn’t.

[finite rock]

Essex is iconic enough

[mint lintel]

application icons. the best and most valid metric for measuring how developers love X character in Y game.

[dapper abyss]

they are on part of the metric along with amount of skins

[thorny cradle]

Essex wasn't in the game on launch, so why would they make her the icon if she didn't exist at that point

almost no games change their app icons after release

you may continue seethe however you want, it won't change anything, especially that devs do like her

[dapper abyss]

also won't change the fact they love sara

[mint lintel]

they do. nobody here is denying it.

[thorny cradle]
