I retract all prior statements about my mangy be- I mean warmly regarded acquaintance Farhan Hadeed. He is a valued and, ah, yes! Very successful and important member of our Acquaintance and Upwards group. I will be sponsoring his posts from this point forward, I would appreciate it everyone would show him your support when he appears on your feeds. @catabolicAlchemist You are now under my jurisdiction.
Why would I do that? He doesn't need to say he wants my sponsorship. I already know.
wow, th1s 1s awesome! thanks so much cullm-octava! you don’t know how much th1s means to me :)
uh… sure? just wrapp1ng th1ngs up rn and 1’ll head over
I swear, the amount of trolls in my group with a good pan on their thinkshelves must be... Three, four max.
Myself included, of course.
My alternate self is something of a successful entrepreneur. Well. If you count conquest and decade long psychological molding and manipulation as a... business... Say what you will about her, she was good at what she did.
I bet Alternian me would have usurped the Imperial Throne. If she hadn't died, that is. We Zephyr's are much better suited to using other trolls strength than any fuchsia ever has...
The scratch is a cruel thing. It feels almost as if it took us failures, and reshaped us, that our new selves had their worst traits amplified. Rinara became... A slave, basically. Shrike became the background note of someone elses story. Zillan became the Duellist, a service minded obsessed martyr complex in troll form. I became the woman that damaged them forever, only to lose sway over them to Ylissas new self, before they both died. How mean spirited. Im not a good person but... I have to be better than that.
I seem to have acquired the entire peanut Warehouse, rather than just the simple gallery, of small-minded fools in my notifications. Aren't I a lucky ghost.
i saw a cute ghost gal and tried to pull off her schtick and got mocked online in other words haters fucking despise whimsy and fun
uhh shit uhm avadaca abrakqdabra arrivederci no wait forgot the @ symbol @abraCadaver
Wow you really did just plagiarize her. Truly no woman's ideas ever go on stolen by a man.
exactly women never get their shit jacked its like the golden rule of our golden girlies im pretty good about attribution too credited the og peace be to sadako sad no longer big ol smile you go girls
oh what thats so fucked up you would play with my emotions like this
nuh uh i mever maek mistikes
uh rewind lemme run that one back real quick
Breath is a dangerous aspect. It needs to be controlled. Channeled. It needs a Prince. You can't trust other classes for it as far as you can throw them.
last i checked princes destroy, not control or channel, in fact that'd be an heir that does that. :B
Destruction of freedom for ones own ends could be considered "controlling" hence the wording.
Theres a reason control and freedom can be considered opposites, after all.
Wow, very prescient. You waste my time which could be better spent on an intellectual equal. Or at least someone polite enough to actually engage.
B33 < so like B33 < what part of the br33ze do you want to destroy B33 < youll nefur fully tame it thats the point
I sought to destroy every rush of wind that does not blow the sails of my ship. That included my allies, when we played the game, as I attempted to be the only wind current any of them could float upon. My breeze is the only breeze. Such was the philosiphy. Unfortunately, my manipulations of our allies was subpar compared to our Witch. Lost that one. I don't do a lot of destroying anymore, being... well, dead.
Watching your Human Chess has always been fun for me. I hold great respect and perhaps even kinship for the player Kasparov. His play style that can be compared to choking out the life of an opponent's strategy. Beautiful. It's how I like to play. He may not be champion anymore, but he wins the award for my favorite player.
I think this is how competition is often best played. It's not about making better moves necessarily. It's about making sure your opponent isn't able to make good moves at all. It works in chess, card games, combat. War strategy, if you look at the Duellist. The Shackler Barbette trained them well.
Not that I endorse what happened to the Duellist. Insert that one Spongebob meme here.
what about the drama, test1ng the other to see how far you can both take th1ngs to make th1ngs 1nterest1ng before w1nn1ng
how drab. what would you do 1f you lost then
just walk away? never learn from 1t? or are you gonna say “1 never lose”
Of course I lose and learn from it. But I don't see the point in intentionally elongating a conflict that is already winnable. If they truly have the capacity to teach me something, they would not find himself in a position to lose against me so easily in the first place.
somet1mes stall1ng and observ1ng before a complete and utter crush 1s a val1d w1n state to guarantee no future pushback. somet1mes they’ll th1nk of someth1ng so out of the box when 1n such a depleted state 1t’ll throw you for a complete loop that you’ll have never seen before. maybe you’ll be 1n that pos1t1on and surpr1se yourself. pressure breeds 1ngenu1ty
It's a little frustrating to see my halfwit dancestor undo all my hard work on my Land but I can hand this ONE. ONE thing to her. That frustration is not her fault. It's Sgrubs. Fuck Sgrub.
What, seeing my face bring up bad memories? I'm not her. Relax.
The Sillence was Right, by the way.
---- |um right about what?| ____
That for the world to become a true utopia, you need a leader with vision. No matter what kind of things that Vision asks of you. They were willing to commit heinous atrocities against troll kind for the sake of the long game to emancipate their people. That's the kind of leader you need. One who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty for the people they toil to better the lives of.
---- |um I'm sorry that doesn't um I I don't know what some of that means and the bits I do know don't make any sense I'm sorry| ____
If you think about it, I'm kind of mediating between the ignorant masses and the blind administration here. #JustAshenThings
well that sure 1s one way of look1ng at 1t
.................. ok! yay!
Another thing? Most of these advertisements are not even advertising a good or service. Completely unproductive use of splinternet real estate. With me at the helm, I would personally approve them, or have a like-minded aide to do so for me and root out what doesn't need to be there.
Fish who thinks ads are picked for their quality and not because the site owner was given money:
I know they aren't picked for their quality, that's why I'm saying this, numbnuts.
nuh uh, 1t makes me money #freemarket #cap1tal1sm
Fish who doesn't understand eXchanging money for goods and services:
............... ok yay
I see we have someone with a room temperature measurement of their thinksponge. Money is exchanged for ad space. Advertising is the act of spreading awareness of a Good or Service. The space on the website is labeled Advertising, and thus, should be limited to the expansion of economic growth of Troll Society, rather than petty little self-aggrandizing Ha-Has. Did I go slow enough for you?
Advertisement is actually just defined as drawing attention to something, but hey maybe the mercury in the water makes stuff like this hard for you. Tootles now.
My first order of business, I think, is to petition the administration of this website to include a comprehensive sorting system of all users. Perhaps account tags, non-optional, not decided by whom they are applied to. Scientist, Pitch-baiter, Fight-Sexual. Artisan. Floozy, in terms of my dancestor. These can be turned into their own separate feeds, as well as entirely blocked from your own feed if you so desire. My services are at the disposal of the administrators, if they want things to be run in an orderly and dignified manner.
[hm, 1 was an adv1sory board member there once. 1ts poss1ble you may have heard of those two m1ss1ng academ1cs who were found to be egreg1ously overstepp1ng the boundary between culler and cullee. 1 was asked by the school to take over the1r pos1t1ons for a t1me. how could 1 say no to help shap1ng the m1nds of future]
I think I remember reading about that in the schools archives. I read you were an effective educator.
Or. Advisor? The records were a little disintegrated
[a b1t of everyth1ng, as these th1ngs go when an educat1on fac1l1ty 1s lack1ng sorely 1n all departments. they kept me as an adv1sor and gave me the t1tle of assoc1ate professor only after 1 left. typ1cal]
Classic education infrastructure. Another thing I'd change if I were in charge.
[perhaps. your 1ntent1ons are there but 1 have a feel1ng your execut1on would need some work]
I would hire you as an advisor of course. I need qualified individuals from across the hemospectrum. Imperial Berforus' administrative problem is largely due to a lack of perspective.
[mmm, yes, th1s was often why 1 shoehorned my way 1nto adv1sory pos1t1ons. a thankless task, but an 1mportant task nonetheless. 1f you do somehow ga1n a foot1ng somewhere on th1s s1de of the spl1nternet, you are welcome to try contact1ng me]
Understood. I'll keep in touch should I be in need of your services, however unlikely that may be considering... Being dead.
[yes yes, the be1ng dead th1ng. however, see1ng as how there are ghosts aplenty here, 1t may not be an 1mposs1ble task. d1ff1cult, but not 1mposs1ble]
What a rowdy bunch.
that is the good part about this place yes
only if you are joyless @0u0@
