They’re not thinking that far ahead and likely give zero shits either way.

I bet they chose to tell this guy they support Russia just to make arresting this guy more abusive.

They do try to entice you with drow ass for being evil, which was a pretty bold move.

I get you, but I mean the grand alliance scheme to be including what ultimately became the Quadruple Alliance/Central Powers. The Kaiser’s bellicose disposition is noteworthy but doesn’t mean he wasn’t strategizing around the Entente any less.

The thing about World War 1 is that it was inevitable in the sense the grand alliance scheme demanded total conflict. The sphere of influence approach to peace and balancing powera militarily itself provoked worldwide conflict. Most of World War 1 was a detached elite refusing to recognize reality as they sent wave after wave of people into machinegun fire.

By the time you’re going back to the root of it all you find yourself stabbing Caesar along with the rest of the time travellers.

A group of fighters is actually not a half bad setup, but requires a group that enjoys a focus on combat tactics. I played a few bits of a no magic campaign before. We all started with shields and spears as a military unit and then were allowed to multiclass from there without penalty into another martial class.

It was all agreed upon beforehand though.

There’s a few centuries of the British Empire gaming that concept available for reference, but yes. The British consider the undeclared war that resulted in Singapore to be a success.

I knew a Brit that felt they should’ve kept it with violence, consequences be damned. So there was always the straight-up colonial option.

They also supported Brexit.

I think some of these people cannot conceptualize a world where they aren’t in it.

Asmongold fan by typo is a cursed reality of our time.

And this is happening to someone who expressed criticism for Zionism? That never happens!

That subject is usually just the convenient outlet for being hateful. And hate’s a hell of a fuel.

Now combine this ordeal with getting them to properly sign the damn thing.

I mean, sure. He plausibly would’ve been in the Epstein files had be lived in the right era. He would’ve fit right in.

That’s generally how people find out. Until then, it is both at the same time. Schroedinger’s douchebag and all.

Ooh, new sounding arc!

That’s entirely possible, as it’s closer to being the very public conflicts of like a dozen people. You could have blocked one user and inadvertantly insulated yourself from almost all of it.

The twelfth cocktail by lunch and everything was a fight on the beaches for Churchill.

Poland was conquered by USSR against their will (well. More like betrayed by British and given to USSR)

Betrayed or at least with their blessing. The Curzon Line, which was the Entente plan after WW1, was reaffirmed before and after the German invasion. The territory Poland annexed in 1921 was effectively ‘returned’ to the USSR.

That pact short-circuited the Anti-Comintern Pact with Japan and is the first thing every WW2 nerd cites in trying to figure out how Hitler could’ve won the war. It was also a tactic to placate Britain and France that either resulted in, or proved unnecessary by, the Phoney War. Fall Weiss was already finalized to commence before September 1. Molotov-Ribbentrop was done in August.

Taking that pact out of the context in which it was made just seems odd.

Or maybe not because I know the Hearts of Irons games portray it (or did) with an ‘unholy alliance’ option. The games tend to give Nazi Germany massive penalties for not doing it, so the vidya brained think it is what enabled Germany to invade the USSR and/or start WW2. They’re fun games when you know how they play with historical events, and brain breaking if you try to learn history from them.

Sounds like a flood control for community creation would be appropriate.

It used to be in the early days instances would vet users at signup. Is there no mechanism for an instance admin to do the same for the creation of a community? They just can’t be vetted before creation?
