[hollow garden]

I'm surprised there were so many neo conservatives in the server during election day

[wraith quarry]

[hollow garden]

What do you value pat

[marsh lance]

Yeah i thought conservatism was about not accepting the new age

[wild mason]

A child

I think

[marsh lance]

Uhhh

[wraith quarry]

@wild mason i did your expansion

but uhm

[marsh lance]

Damn good question

[wraith quarry]

quick question

[wild mason]

Yes?

[hollow garden]

Not necessarily

[west path]

Honey bee pope decafa fakher and uhhhhhhhh Parader

[wraith quarry]

[hollow garden]

Conservatism is about tradition

[noble cradle]

Pope isn't a Neo con

[west path]

FUCK

[balmy epoch]

he’s insanely liberal

[wild mason]

You'll be finding out next session.

[west path]

[hollow garden]

Laissez faire ew

[wild mason]

@noble cradle Ping me with the code ( Spectating )

[hollow garden]

You should play blumi

🙏

[wild mason]

I want to spectate

My general rule is

Play one session

Spectate two

[noble cradle]

Ok

After this I'm gonna play wh3

[hollow garden]

Is this bad

[noble cradle]

@wild mason uh?

[hollow garden]

You can put anything I think

[marsh lance]

It said i was an establishment liberal too

[spring bison]

https://youtu.be/stKCeW7Oqs4?si=afG6hlourFKB9u36

[marsh lance]

Be honest, am i cooked?

[wild mason]

put in a random junk email

[wild mason]

OBNOXIOUS-FORTUNE7

[hollow garden]

Eh I think we are just normal leftists

not the radical far left

[hollow garden]

Alr

[marsh lance]

I dont even know like, how to define myself though

[wild mason]

Why did you put 5 slots

You can't start unless all 5 are filled

[noble cradle]

uh

[hollow garden]

So cooked

[wild mason]

Literally why isn't there a "Start Now" button

[marsh lance]

I dont like the idea of people hatemongering and fearmongering all the time because of shit they disagree with,
And i also believe that people’s business is their business

[hollow garden]

Does parader start a new lobby

[hollow garden]

Fr

[hollow garden]

You don't have to

[turbid valley]

Yargh

[marsh lance]

This is why i dont get in to politics / never make any logical conclusions, i just simply do not know about it

[wild mason]

Probably

IUts you parader and BOW

[hollow garden]

Really just know what values you have

[wild mason]

3 slots

[hollow garden]

and stand for them

[marsh lance]

You are right klez

[hollow garden]

Fair enough

[hollow garden]

The radical far left

[marsh lance]

Like, i guess i am a liberal leaning centrist if you want to slap a label on me, but its not always black and white

[wild mason]

OKay

[brittle gust]

I don't think so?

[hollow garden]

@noble cradle what's the new lobby

[wild mason]

@frank latch OBNOXIOUS-FORTUNE7

[hollow garden]

I think this is a good thing that more people should do

Seeing the nuance in things

[hollow garden]

Yeah we are all establishment left

[wild mason]

We got a bernie now

Is this Klez or BOW

[hollow garden]

This?

[marsh lance]

Whatever makes me a liberal i guess thats just what i am, but i wanna keep myself away from radicalism

[turbid valley]

How do I join

[wild mason]

270 is free on steam

and Mobile

[noble cradle]

average

[marsh lance]

If its one thing history taught us and that we continue to forget is that radicalism is kinda stupid

[turbid valley]

Yes but everyone defines radicalism differently

[marsh lance]

But anywho, at the end of the day, i am truly a baikal seal

[brittle gust]

Real

[marsh lance]

For me, its blatant extremism

[turbid valley]

Everyone sees someone who's left or right enough of them as extremist

[wild mason]

3...

[noble cradle]

wow we are complete opposites

[wild mason]

2 more slots

[turbid valley]

Yeah but what does that mean

[noble cradle]

ill cook

[wild mason]

Matty wants to join

[hollow garden]

Two Bernies

I'm trump

[marsh lance]

It goes both ways on the spectrum, far right extremism, far left extremism, i never found them agreeable

[wild mason]

Who are the two bernies

One has to be BOW

[marsh lance]

But uhh

[hollow garden]

damn

The radical far right

[marsh lance]

Idk what im talking about

[hollow garden]

So ong

I have always thought of things like this

I don't hate a position too much I just hate the people who are radical or extremist about it

[wild mason]

I think I would fall here

[hollow garden]

Whatever it is

[noble cradle]

i dont think i agree with this test, im definitely socially conservative to a degree but i dont think far flung right is really what i am

[hollow garden]

Who is the fifth person we are waiting for

[wraith quarry]

rate the in depth war strategies last mw session

[noble cradle]

im probably around here

[noble cradle]

eye

[wild mason]

Eye or Matty

[hollow garden]

Yeah it's quite simplified

[hollow garden]

That's fair enough

[wraith quarry]

@west path i definitely 100% did not do a battle of samar at the beginning

[hollow garden]

emo

[wraith quarry]

you can't prove it

[wild mason]

It feels like you made them a little too strong but it is more interesting than ",roll 100 invade"

[wraith quarry]

tbf they have been part of the nation of koloth for a while

[noble cradle]

3 bernies

[wild mason]

INSANE

[wraith quarry]

and koloth is ridiculously powerful

and has good equipment and training

[noble cradle]

paraderi top

you are undersetimating the power of sticks and stones

as the prophet says they break your bones 👆

[wraith quarry]

sticks and stones break my bones 😱

[wraith quarry]

send quiz

[balmy epoch]

scroll up

[wraith quarry]

I also wanted to consider the fact this is a continuation of when NSO owned the nation

it was still powerful

[prisma flame]

ok buddy im going to do this

[wraith quarry]

W

[spring bison]

wghat is this

[wraith quarry]

political quiz

[spring bison]

send it

[prisma flame]

aw man

[hollow garden]

Is it stuck

[wild mason]

If your game froze

you can rejoin with the same code

Or go to ongoing games

[hollow garden]

NOOO

It removed me

[wild mason]

Next time 😔

I belieb in you

[frank latch]

I'm taking all of your states

ngl
it doesn't look good for me right

now

Imma be the next one out

[wild mason]

All of your opponents are only a few good flips away from being last

You can do it

if you try'

[wraith quarry]

no

[hollow garden]

Grrr!! Orange Bernie

[spring bison]

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/quiz/political-typology/

dumbass

[frank latch]

I went from being in last to taking the lead lol

let's see how long I keep it though

ORANGE BERNIE

I think I'm cooked guys

I lost the south

[wild mason]

😭

If you know you're out

your new goal should be weakening the opponent you like least

[hollow garden]

Orange Bernie reference

He is an opp

He is evil

Why is he trying to contest the old south with me

[hollow garden]

Is this for eel

[frank latch]

Orange Bernie will BURN

[hollow garden]

🙏

[frank latch]

also
the double click sold me

[hollow garden]

Please bow

Do it

@wild mason

It's not letting me spectate

[frank latch]

I accidently hit end turn before I used up all of my money

[prisma flame]

ok im starting a winter colony in rimworld and i need names for the colonists

what should i name them

[hollow garden]

The code is OBNOXIOUS-FORTUNE7

Right

[hollow garden]

Petah

[prisma flame]

hmmm

[hollow garden]

Susie

These are my suggestions

[prisma flame]

im gonna name them after people in this server

[novel jay]

270?

@wild mason @prisma flame @hollow garden @midnight ocean

[prisma flame]

they already are in general

[frank latch]

I think I'm cooked

[wild mason]

Let this game end

Its heating up

Florida was just STOLEN

[novel jay]

Compare this one to mine

[frank latch]

NOOO

IT'S OVER FOR ME

[hollow garden]

Attack the red guy

Just one state

And he gets out

[frank latch]

I'M TAKING SOUTH CAROLINA WITH ME

07

btw y'all

Red now has Florida too

I think Green Bernie is gonna lose next

unless they some how play the midwest and maybe a national group

which
the only thing they got going for them is big conservative

[void axle]

What game is this

[frank latch]

270

[void axle]

Is it available on stream?

[frank latch]

it's free on stream

[void axle]

Interesting

Very interesting

[spring bison]

https://youtu.be/QA5KEoutzks?si=l_Ol1bdiFBlOdmp1

[frank latch]

It's joever

Orange is winning this game

WHOA

Welp
Orange definitely just won

Guh?

Dang

[turbid valley]

Why did you all leave

[frank latch]

Ikr

I was the only one who didn't drop out

other than you

[turbid valley]

Imagine wasting money on Texas and California btw

[frank latch]

I wasted so much of my money on Florida

I spent at least a million there

[turbid valley]

I thought I was so cooked before green dropped out

[frank latch]

I swear
if Trump didn't contest the south where I had the lead otherwise

I could have done better

[wraith quarry]

no

[frosty drum]

Wtf

[void axle]

Yeah you should only put like

One into them

Maybe at the start just to get some large votes on paper if nobody else goes for them

[spring bison]

netflix does that now

[void axle]

Netflix has been doing games for a while

YouTube did it too

It’s just the Yotube games are shit

Where the Netflix games are just regular games they bought special versions of

Like BTD6

[lofty plover]

Reasonable crashout? (I took like 15 poison damage so i burned some of the forest down)

[void axle]

There’s a few pieces of shitter mobile games on Netflix but for the most part it’s just straight up good games

[spring bison]

what game is this

[void axle]

I have so many dark jokes for that one

[lofty plover]

Soulash 2

[lofty plover]

I have many bright jokes just like how bright the thorn spider was during the fireball!

[waxen remnant]

game?

[lofty plover]

Soulash 2

I got jumped and kamekazied myself like 2 times

[hollow garden]

So it was YOU

Why did you contest the old south

When you are a Bernie smh

Mfs encroaching on my territory

[hollow garden]

What game is this

[frank latch]

if anything

you ruined my run

I would have been able to win the old south early uncontested if it wasn't for you!

[hollow garden]

We ruined each other's run 😔

[frank latch]

we did

was fun though

[hollow garden]

I love having opps in rounds

[lofty plover]

Soulash 2

[void axle]

I think I may be shit at game

[hollow garden]

263 is pretty well

He didn't defeat you In a landslide

[hollow garden]

Thanks

[void axle]

That’s straight up the Al

[hollow garden]

You won the popular vote too

[frank latch]

Umm

[void axle]

I could barely beat the AI

[frank latch]

Klez

I think you're looking at the AI

[hollow garden]

oh 💀

[hollow garden]

Everyone was shit once

[void axle]

I am The Newfie

[hollow garden]

It's ok

[void axle]

My steam name is NOT AI 1

[hollow garden]

real

[void axle]

The best part is that’s my second game

And both games I won by like, 4 electors

Both times winning California and Texas

[hollow garden]

Well you understand how state groups and vote groups work right

[hollow garden]

It's a weird combination

[void axle]

You get state groups if you have the majority of electors in a specific grouping

[hollow garden]

Yesa

[void axle]

And you get extra money if you are dominating a specific national group

[hollow garden]

Yeah you are good

[void axle]

And dominating state groups gives you extra balances to spend

And you can spend money to get Democratic or Republican Primaries

And also the Independents are like

Worthless?

The only ones are Trump and Bernie

And it’s Trump or Bernie without their buffs and debuffs

So they are like

Shit

It’s pointless to play a Independent

And you gotta pay money if you want different figureheads

[brittle gust]

I mean, i literally conquered the Midwest and became a pain i nthe ass for parader and blumi with independent bernie

🤫

No debuffs

You can strike wherever you want

Be mean

[void axle]

Also, some of the base characters are like

Shit

[frank latch]

that's not entirely true

I came in as runner up for a game cus nobody ever saw me as a threat

[void axle]

Also why does Tom exist

Tom has way too many debuffs for nothing

[frank latch]

but then I wasn't able to win enough states by the time the competition died out

[void axle]

You get nothing from playing Tom

You will be curbstomped as Tom

[void axle]

Also, does this vice president thing just let you get a second character in

Because that seems OP

[void axle]

I find just dominating the old south immediately at the start of the game works like a charm

Just cause it’s a nice bloc of states

I’ve also determined if you are gonna try for a 3 or 4 elector state, it’s best to just try and full secure it in two turns

[frank latch]

I honest don't know

Idk enough about the game

[void axle]

Otherwise the AI will punish you

[frosty drum]

IM FINALLY INSTALLING EMPIRE TOTAL WAR MOBILE

[brittle gust]

Cool

[void axle]

It only costs like 2 dollars to get

Which like

[frank latch]

not worth it tbh

[void axle]

It seems like if you are gonna go into multiplayer not buying the vice president thing will get you fucked

Because if it works how I think it works there’s definitely some extremely powerful character combinations

To get like

Multiple +80%s

Or just a solid +5% or more in everything

[void axle]

Also means your enemy has strength over you in a lot of areas

[brittle gust]

I find my strategy to be concentrate in one area and then use that as a security and drone strike multiple places

Not that good but

It's annoying

And funny

[wild mason]

Didnt I still win

[brittle gust]

Parader woj

Because you didn't say the 'plan' and I guessed it too late

I legit realised your plan after my turn ended

[wild mason]

Ohh that game

[brittle gust]

Yuh

[supple garnet]

Hello

[brittle gust]

Hello

[supple garnet]

I'm new

[brittle gust]

Yes i do realise, welcome to worldboxia

Place of genocidal maniacs, gore posting, propaganda and more™

[noble cradle]

Wild cards always throw a wrench In my plans because I do things in a very straightforward

[brittle gust]

🤫

[noble cradle]

That all Bernie game fucked Me hard

I wasn't able to pull of my usual strat because it was all over

[void axle]

All independent Bernie or all Democratic Bernie

[noble cradle]

Both

[brittle gust]

It was a fun game, sucks I wasn't able to play that second game with trump. I had some good plans for that

[hollow garden]

What is this very straightforward manner

[void axle]

You had a mix of Independent Bernie’s and Democratic Bernie’s?

[hollow garden]

Tell me parader

[noble cradle]

Yes

[brittle gust]

Democratic Bernie dropped out like the scaredy cat he was

[hollow garden]

3 bernies

[noble cradle]

Those who know: 💔🫃😏😘😏🫎🫎🫎

[hollow garden]

Coward

[hollow garden]

Leak your strategy please

[void axle]

I’ve played all three games I’ve done against the AI the same and won two

[brittle gust]

Ikr! We could have been a great team imo

[wild mason]

Kleznam what do you sound like

[void axle]

But I’m barely beating the AI so I need to improve my strategy

[brittle gust]

What is it right now?

[void axle]

They are both high cost states with alot of electors

[brittle gust]

Mine last game I played was your old south tactic

[void axle]

That are really difficult for the AI to fight over without sacrificing other states

[void axle]

That was my latest game

The game before that I won a single less elector

[noble cradle]

My tactic :

[hollow garden]

Come to vc

[void axle]

I’m only really winning by like, less then 6 electors

[noble cradle]

On what ballot

Firzt or 2nd

[spring bison]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-house-house-md-cursed-the-curse-cursed-images-gif-9514785705741002263

[noble cradle]

Or 3rd

Or 4th

[void axle]

2nd because I’m running with two AI

[noble cradle]

O

[brittle gust]

Have you tried spamming out for like 3 national groups and then starting to campaign

[noble cradle]

I run with 5

I usually win 2nd ballot

[void axle]

I did that with Independent Bernie and got fucked over when the Biden AI dominated the Old South

[noble cradle]

I think 1st ballots only possible in 1v1

[void axle]

Probably

Unless all the AI just keeps fighting the same few states and you dominate California, Texas, and Florida

And a few other big states

To barely hit that 270

While everyone constantly fights over the same states using the same values every time

Which is

Highly unlikely

[hollow garden]

@wild mason I'm deaf

Forgive me

[noble cradle]

@wild mason what is your ranking of all the people who's played 270 so far ?

There's some pretty interesting strategies

Or just peculiar

[brittle gust]

Funnily enough, i did that with Biden and with a Bernie AI

[void axle]

Only time I’ve ever had anyone get anything close to that was when AI Bernie fought me over getting into Georgia for 4 turns in a row on my second game

I usually throw in Atleast one independent into my games

[void axle]

Maybe I should try that

[void axle]

Have they played with everyone?

[noble cradle]

Pretty much

[prisma flame]

whos winning

why is it that EVERY TIME i chat in here a message gets deleted

this has to be a conspiracy theory

[brittle gust]

You're getting too close to the truth

Get the game room FBI and CIA on this man

[hollow garden]

@wild mason this was a pleasant conversation rabbit 🙏

[wild mason]

Call with kleznam craziest moment of my life

[wild mason]

It felt a lot easier to communicate ideas to me. Even if we were reiterating the same info.

[hollow garden]

I had a different voice for you in my head but your voice is very cool

[spring bison]

Maura Healey — Today at 11:26 PM
@🐭 mice are nice 🐀

[hollow garden]

Was it? I think my accent might make it a bit hard

[wild mason]

It's kinda funny that my voice didn't make people confident of my gender but made some people switch views 😭

I thought it would

[wild mason]

Yeah after a few minutes it was easier it follow.

[hollow garden]

I mean it doesn't matter in the end

[wild mason]

I know but it's still really funny to me

[hollow garden]

but I finally have the answer to this mystery

[hollow garden]

It's ok

If you are insecure about it a bit

Don't worry

[turbid valley]

Who's breaking rules rn

[wild mason]

LeBron

[hollow garden]

I'm trying to improve it

[hollow garden]

LeBron was Matty

I saw him

[brittle gust]

Joe

[wild mason]

What was your answer mm

[void axle]

Well I know they haven’t played with me, so the real question I guess is who haven’t they played with?

[wild mason]

You Kleznam and Peter are the best
Bookish and Fakher are complete aliens
Eye Nolt and Honey Bee are middle of the road

[void axle]

Right now trying out the National Groups strategy

Where I immediately aim to win over the gun crowd and the women’s crowd

Before attacking electors

[noble cradle]

I can't tell if fakher doesn't even know thr basics of American politics or is just that bad 😭

Like the game is a very simplified version of it too

[void axle]

By turn 5 I’ve gotten the Evangelicalists, the Gun Lobby, and the Women’s Movement and am on track for Big Conservative

But I have zero states

[hollow garden]

I think you are focusing too much on voter groups

If the other players are also only competing for them

You should continue

But if they are focusing on states

You should aim for 1-2 voter groups

Is what I have seen to work best

[void axle]

I’m just trying out a strategy on the AI

[hollow garden]

but you are free to do what you want

[hollow garden]

Ah

[noble cradle]

I don't think I've ever gone for a nation group

[wild mason]

Sometimes the AI will randomly lock in after being stupid

[hollow garden]

I want to see Fakher in action

When was the last game blumi played?

I haven't seen him play any game in a while

[brittle gust]

Damn, I've only played two full games of 270. One with you guys and one with ai

[wild mason]

A couple games ago

I've mostly been watching games

Trying to find where the holes in my strategy are

I tried to do online matches but it just wouldn't spend my money 99% of the time and everyone was sweaty money hoarders.

Or maybe they couldn't spent it either

[void axle]

By Turn 8 I’ve held onto my four national groups and have basically taken over most of the old south states

For 58 electors

[spring bison]

#845799985504976916

[void axle]

Plus I’ve won Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi

[brittle gust]

Nice

[wild mason]

GEORGIA

Don't let Georgia be stolen

[void axle]

Not even a turn later and I’m in control of the Old South Money

[void axle]

I dominate Georgia

I did lose Big Conservative Turn 10 but I’ve won most of the Old South states fully

Which means I can turn back and start securing my national groups fully

[brittle gust]

Send a screenshot of the map

[void axle]

f

Straight up won the Woman’s Movement bloc at this point too

[void axle]

After Turn 12 Georgia is mine too, and I’m the only one in Arkansas so I can just use the regional budget for that

I can probably aim for African Americans next from here

[wild mason]

I think you're gonna be forced out by a ballot turn.

[frosty drum]

Chat its nearly been an hour
Empire total war is still downloading
(It's like 1 gb initial download. 9 gb download once you install the game)

[void axle]

Turn 14 and I’ve won Big Conservative

[void axle]

I’m too big to lose at this point

Although the purple AI is definitely winning

But Turn 15 is a ballot so let’s see that theory work out

[frosty drum]

@void axle That feeling when you win

[void axle]

Nope

And I’ve won almost every state I’m in

[hollow garden]

Yooo

The comeback

[void axle]

I was never failing, it was a calculated gamble

[noble cradle]

truly a terrifying threat

[void axle]

But it’s still not a good strategy

[noble cradle]

90 year old frail man with back problems and a club

[void axle]

Turn 16 and I won Arizona and the District of Colombia

[frosty drum]

Omg it's the Yeti

[void axle]

Lost Washington to the Purple though

See this

This is the problem I’m having now

[noble cradle]

actual alien

illinois and tennesee are open for grabbing

thatd secure you the vote

[vagrant ginkgo]

you might be cooked cnl

[noble cradle]

if pete gets illinois you pretty much loose i think

he has nearly every state group anyways

then again the ai is very stupid so

[vagrant ginkgo]

is there any state thats in no state groups

[noble cradle]

nope

hawaii and montana are like the only ones with one though

actually

i dont think montana has a grouo

[vagrant ginkgo]

based

theres nothing in montana

[void axle]

Pete won 282

[vagrant ginkgo]

damn

[wild mason]

Map?

[noble cradle]

yeah montana is only state with no group

[noble cradle]

holy smokes cooked

[void axle]

So the focus on National Groups probably lost me the game

But like

I still basically won the black and old south groupings solidly

And AI 1 had like 9 million votes

[noble cradle]

ngl trump sucks on repub side

all his bonuses are counteracted

[void axle]

Is “right to life groups” even a player in the game?

I do think playing Old South-African American is a good strategy

So I think I’m gonna go for my standard Deep South strat with one on New York

Turn 3 and I have won the District of Colombia

[noble cradle]

primaries mode

[void axle]

Turn 5 and I have my foot in the door on every African American state

[noble cradle]

holy shit @wild mason thoughts on the jeb bush sweep?

tulsi and bernie wont leave me alone

idk what ind trump is doing

[wild mason]

This it how it feels in games with you and Nolt / Kleznam and the trump is Fakher

[void axle]

Turn 9 and I’ve taken both the Africa American and Old South Budgets and won North Carolina to stop the AI

[noble cradle]

bernie and tulsi have stopped me from getting high tech to wrestle back cali from jeb

its joever

[vagrant ginkgo]

@noble cradle @wild mason @hollow garden I DID THE BIDEN BLAST

[noble cradle]

this is how the 2024 election actually looked just trump drove 106 million ballots from across the country into lake erie on election night

[vagrant ginkgo]

factual info

the 1-4 vote is crazy though

whats the biggest win youve ever seen @noble cradle @wild mason

[wild mason]

This one

[vagrant ginkgo]

there is no way

one day i'll get every state

i got every state group by like turn 10 so i had it basically locked in

[noble cradle]

this one i think

my highest ive got was 2nd ballot with 312 votes as biden\

[wild mason]

The narrowest victory is still the Acnaq Margin

[void axle]

The tale of two Biden’s

[hollow garden]

This is so close

Damn

[hollow garden]

Presented by the same author as of: The three Berniteers

[vagrant ginkgo]

this will forever be the greatest election in american history

5 incredible candidates

[void axle]

I think combining The Old South and African Americans is the winnig strat

[noble cradle]

the bernie gambit

[void axle]

Yeah going for California and Texas off the bat is definitely a gamble

[noble cradle]

300k, 2 groups, and 100 votes turn 6

[hollow garden]

It's a pretty good one for Republicans

But new york is nearly impossible to take

If you are entrenched in the old south

[hollow garden]

Damn California and Texas

[void axle]

I immediately took a spot in New York

[hollow garden]

You have two groups only because of Texas and California?

[void axle]

So I can push out like three into New York in the first ten turns

[hollow garden]

This is wild

[hollow garden]

Ah

[void axle]

And you can’t see it

But I’m actually really close with Florida

Enough that I won it on this turn

And because of all the different budgets I’m in, I can actually start attacking California

Ballot on Turn 18 kicked out Trump

I think im starting to get the swing of this

[noble cradle]

yes

independents are tough but i dont think im doing too bad

[vagrant ginkgo]

youre bernie?

[void axle]

There’s this one Democratic guy that’s basically a Independent

[noble cradle]

ind bernie yeah

[void axle]

Bloomberg

[noble cradle]

bloomberg yeah

[void axle]

He also gets no bonuses or penalties

So he’s basically a independent

[vagrant ginkgo]

@noble cradle i think i have an idea for how to win every state

[void axle]

I’m gonna try the Ted Cruz Gamble out myself

[vagrant ginkgo]

basically you get 2 players and one ai, have the first player pick up a bunch of states, and have the second player exclusively contest the ai in their states. then, the 2nd player drops out and the 1st player picks up every state

[noble cradle]

2nd ballot bernie blast

[noble cradle]

average

i dont think you can have multiple players and an ai tho

[vagrant ginkgo]

we should try this later

[vagrant ginkgo]

oh

or you could just have a player steal every state while the other player afks

but yeah

[noble cradle]

wacky map

not getting pa or new york like i always try hurt me

ngl this guy is kinda crazy in some overlap states cuz he gets like 55% bonus

[void axle]

Anyone want to play a game?

I think Ron DeSantis may unironically be the best base game Republican candidate

[noble cradle]

mccain and cruz are better in my opinion

[prisma flame]

ok guys for my rimworld colony should i make them be republic (3 leaders) monarchy (royal leader) psycast (best psycaster leader) or blood court (candidates 1v1 and winner is leader)?

[hollow garden]

Monarchy

[void axle]

Cruz basically guarantees you can’t hold New York and McCain goes against my whole strategy

DeSantis is the perfect balance

[prisma flame]

i was going it

anyway who wants to be a colonist

[void axle]

No?

[noble cradle]

what are you talking about

holding ny as cruz is fine

the oil bonus gives you so much

and allows you to pick up latino on the way

anyways closest election in a while\

@wild mason thoughts on this shitshow?

[void axle]

My strat focuses on the Old South and the African Americans

Oil is just won by holding California and Texas anyways

[noble cradle]

African American is great cause it has good synergy but old South is only really good in the... south

African American votes are all over and in the big states

Old south doesn't have many bit states but it's certainly useful for Georgia and Virginia, but to get the old south you probably already have those

[void axle]

I’m really getting the hang of this with my strat

[void axle]

Sure, but it helps win the African Americans

The only other state you really got to worry about is New York

Which Ted Cruz makes really hard

[noble cradle]

The Midwest has alot of African American votes along with stuff that Ted cruz gets buffs from

Ted cruz can be powerful if used right

Because he can make so much

[void axle]

You want to play?

[noble cradle]

Sure

[void axle]

You hosting or me?

[noble cradle]

I'll host

[void axle]

K

[noble cradle]

fussy-account7

[void axle]

Did it work?

[noble cradle]

accidentally ended my turn

its ok tho

[void axle]

For clarification, you are McCain, yes?

[noble cradle]

yes

[void axle]

Making sure I didn’t accidentally a random game somehow

Thanks

Imagine this as a actual US election, where the Democratics just forgot to run someone and the Republican Party spilt

Fuck

Ended my turn after two states accidentally

[noble cradle]

happens

just did the same

nvm

you forfeit?

[void axle]

Yeah

[noble cradle]

why

[void axle]

Can’t win down four state zones

[noble cradle]

its happened

its hard but you still had a chance

gg

[void axle]

You up for a second game?

[noble cradle]

sure

[void axle]

Same host?

[noble cradle]

yep

attentive-rain7

average

[void axle]

“average”?

[noble cradle]

2/3 of the country not voting again

[void axle]

I quite simply don’t understand why the strategy that up until now worked perfectly fine isn’t working

At all

And is losing me the game on turn 6

[noble cradle]

probably because i play very aggresive and you tend to not reinforce your states alot

it allows me to easily threaten you or pick them up after I finish getting set up

[vital latch]

@west path unlocked all the alt worlds in rgd

[void axle]

Massive win against the AI

#🎲game-room message

[brittle gust]

Fyi you can get it's sample on the Kindle app to see whether you like it or not. I've heard people don't like it because the prose is "too simplistic"

That doesn't explain how my books are evil

And no it does not have s*ut

[brittle gust]

Did this interest you

[wild mason]

Just because it can be read by younger audiences doesn't mean a book is bad or embarassing to find meaning in... 👽

[wild mason]

I haven't checked it yet

[rose cape]

Pax and Peter have been inseparable ever since Peter rescued him as a kit. But one day, the unimaginable happens: Peter's dad enlists in the military and makes him return the fox to the wild.

At his grandfather's house, three hundred miles away from home, Peter knows he isn't where he should be--with Pax. He strikes out on his own despite the encroaching war, spurred by love, loyalty, and grief, to be reunited with his fox.

Meanwhile Pax, steadfastly waiting for his boy, embarks on adventures and discoveries of his own. . . .

Pax is a wonderful choice for independent reading, sharing in the classroom, homeschooling, and book groups.

literally for little kids

no one cares about love after the age of 12

or loyalty

or grief

[brittle gust]

That means

• no s*ut
• its easy to read
• the protag is around that age group

[rose cape]

sut 👽

what is sut

[brittle gust]

Replace the * with m

[wild mason]

Actually this is a really good for my list. This could be used as a comparison to White Fang/Call of the Wild.... I could write an essay... on changing attitudes... loyalty and wilderness...

[rose cape]
