I'm saving a 120 page Open Powerplay thread- just for you with Powerplay Cat memes for that little stunt young man. I'll even throw in Open BGS, Gnosis, VR, Panther Clipper, the lot into one giant fireball of forum trigger words and all the other mods will be like "TJs fault he can sort it" while they run to the pub.

And then it will be me and Robert exchanging tedious multi quote posts that you'll have to read, over and over for all eternity.

Pretty sure that would get you a ban under the new 'abuse' policy.

not if we preface everything with "no offense..."

and "i dont mean to be.."

and "it's been said by people ..."

Then it's all good. bulletproof.

If you start with "we, the silent majority" you have the number to back you up.

Add something about free speech and you're golden.

Need to mix it up a little

If it means more information can be compressed into the page, yes.

Plus, all responses you dislike have to be in Comic Sans and in clown colours.

When is FDev going to start implementing the Forum Elite ranking? Where our likes rank us up to elite status ...and then after becoming elite ,they convert into some ratio of Arx?

Why wont the Official livestreams talk about that? Why are they silent about this?

Interspersed with the more offensive bits in this sort of colour?

*possibly 3 shades darker....

Don't forget to add LOTS of screenshots - everyone loves those.

Plus, if you use tiny fonts between screenshots you can hide all the really contentious stuff and nobody notices.

But if nobody can react to your thoughts. why even have them?

Only when the screenshots are bigger than the actual screen requiring lots of scrolling....

Personally, I'm very glad no-one has access to my thoughts....

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around, then the tree is definitely right and everyone else is wrong.

I find the game mysterious and inviting.

So I will log in and check it out tonight. Excited!

And thanks to the community management which is excellent.

I don't completely follow you, but are you saying you want me to burn down your house, and blame it on you?

Even if it was just you and Robert, that thread has the potential to rival this forum catastrophe! Just don't let Barry in as well.

My god that is so infuriating - but the sad bit is I'm reading on my phone and I have to hold it at a funky angle, as nothing is going to stop me reading it, even if it is inconsequential to everything ever lmao!
