@achewood I am composing a tone poem about eagles, lawnmowers, and Ted Nugent. It is composed only of the sounds of those things.

I resent it.

That is, I sent it again.  I don't mean that I am offended by it.

I am also re-sending my trade offers so that the people may be made happy by team bonus.

Right guys, as far as I'm aware, I think you DO get the happiness bonus, it just doesn't show up on the trade agreements. It can be hard to tell but if you check your happiness rating it should be one point higher than normal. Of course, I'm not sure. Re-submitting can be risky for people you don't know (they might get tetchy) so leave it to your discretion.

Choop, do not worry about not offering trade. I already have gold and iron is not so much use to me right now.

Thanks for clearing that up, although I have no idea why I am reading this thread.

Hey, if anybody's still playing this, massive inter-alliance war has broken out. SomethingAwful thought CyberNations belonged to them, and didn't want to let Fark play. Treaties, multi-defense pacts, etc., have all been activated.

Yeah, the alliance I'm part of (CDS) are getting involved, and it's nothing if not fun. Some people are pretty worried about losing their nation's bits and pieces, and while I will miss the months of small effort put into upgrading my nation war is a lot of fun.

There is a deep and abiding irony in the idea of a website mostly devoted to making fun of people who they see as taking the internet too seriously... taking the internet too seriously. Sometimes I find SomethingAwful to be very entertainingly mean and sometimes... their meanness comes from so deep inside the small details of the things they're making fun of that... it undermines the premise of their meanness.

EX:

Someone going to a screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show dressed as Star Trek characters so as to mock the entire premise of using a so-bad-it-crosses-over-double-and-becomes-superbad film as a way to tightly orchestrate and choreograph the manifestations of sexualities  the partici****** can't come to grips with in the normal context of their lives? FUNNY.

Someone going to a screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show so as to mock people who don't get the rituals of the Rocky Horror Picture Show absolutely correct? NOT FUNNY.

When you make fun of the corest-of-the-core of a fandom (and calling them crazy/deluded/childish/etc) using a terminology and understanding only those people you're making fun of could even hope to understand, you're done the rabbit hole of self-loathing and you've overshot comedy.

Somethingawful seems to do this with large roleplaying games and shoot 'em ups pretty frequently.

I worry their often-really-entertaining critique of SecondLife is heading there.

EDIT: Wow, the "trousers" edit even kicks in on "particitrousers"? Neat.

Heh...  I started playing this only because Drew from toothpaste for dinner mentioned it in a blog (even though he mentioned that he stopped playing it).  Then I accidentally click the wrong list of stuff and hey, here it is again!
So cool.  My nation is called the Kalmar Nyckel, a ship that I sail on on occasion.

I have created the nation of Ubonia. It is a quiet nation of coal and oil and honest people. I look forward to trading with you all.

The nation of Mistralia is born!

It is a small nation with expensive tastes. I shall enjoy sipping my kir royales on the palace terrace overlooking the sea. What? The people want a system of government that exercises total control over its subjects? Well, I'd be more than happy to oblige.


What? I have to do math and collect taxes? Don't I have *people* for that? I just want to enjoy my kir royale!


*sigh*

I look forward to trading with you all so that I may have enough to annex Ubonia. ;)

Set your government to Monarchy and ignore their complaints. Nothing else is good for making money.

Are you on the Black team? What are your resources?

Yes, I am on the black team. Good to know I can keep Mistralia as a monarchy without much ado. At lelast not from the peons. :)

My resources are oil and gems. I think I sent you a trade request, actually; but maybe not.

Dunstonia, a peaceful nation of Communist Christians, ruled by the Benevolent Jay-Ell, is three weeks old.  We produce coal and spices and our population is currently 147 and growing.  They are in love with me, of course.

Does anyone have gems and something else?  I am very close to getting Affluent Population and all I need is gems.  I have iron and wine, so if you want to hammer something out while drunk, I'm the best country to trade with.  I am team aqua!  because I am on the water and also a sailing ship.
