Posted: Thu Nov 16, 2017 1:13 amPosted: Thu Nov 16, 2017 2:43 pmNice to see the defender brigade still comes out in full force
Posted: Thu Nov 16, 2017 3:28 pmDid we read the same thread? There's no "defender brigade", it's literally just Tim. And, every defender post in this thread before that for at least the past 3 pages have all been complimentary toward TRE.
Are you not satisfied that we've tried to actually be nice and engage in friendly discourse? Or are you just ignoring that because it doesn't fit your narrative that defenders are awful? I'm really not understanding what angle you're going for here...

All defender compliments are sarcasm. It's self-evident. Tim is the defender brigade.

Well EWS is a uber secret defender in training and i'm never certain which way cormac is going so Kyorgia probably got confused
We are awful. Awfully nice...*cue drum roll, DYP bows and leaves*

This was more about the people that always come and scaremonger every time Attero is mentioned anywhere. Now i do admit that just calling it the defender brigade might confuse some people but "defender, moderates and Cormac brigade" does not have the same ring to it.

Everyone who's worried about a person with a known history of doing unsavoury things and no indication of having changed neatly falls in the defender/moderate/cormac camp? I guess anyone who dares speak out isn't purist enough for your taste?
Posted: Fri Nov 17, 2017 5:37 amPosted: Fri Nov 17, 2017 5:59 amThe Roman Empire did boot Attero, so there's very little point in continuing this line of discussion in their thread. It's disruptive and disrespectful.

If Souls is a "moderate" because, unlike many of you apparently, he has some standards, then I think he should take that as a compliment.

Plagentine shouts as he loses sight of the fendas in the ball of dust behind him
The Romebats chased barbarian criminals through the night, hiding in shadows and disappearing into nothing before the grey-uniformed policemen could catch them. Whenever the cops thought they were just about to catch the ancient vigilantes, they would just find conquered and recently civilized barbarians. Whenever gaulic robbers and germanic vandals(badumtss) saw the Rome signal in the sky, they knew it was just a matter of time until they had sewers built in their towns and they shook in terror.
Gordonius: "...they're the heroes Evropa deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll hunt them, because they can take it. Because they're not our heroes."
The rome-pod streaks through Evropa's newly built roads, the Romebat's cape fluttering behind. A patrician...

Bureau Chief Plagentine of the Commission of Counter Grey welcoming the fendas into a region he just hit
The Roman division of the CCG went on a top secret special class mission to exterminate SS level ghouls in their underground HQ. Three investigators mowed down 38 unsightly ghouls with little effort, and rescued several human captives from certain death. Many ghouls attempted to escape the facility when they saw who the investigators in question were, but they were sliced up regardless. However, the ghoul who was the head of that group, Big Madam, didn't appreciate humans going around and slaughtering her soldiers. She jumped out of nowhere and caught one of the investigators completely off guard.
First Class Investigator Florida caught by Big Madam
Plagentine and Hired Contractor moved in to intercept the SS rank ghoul immediately, and managed to free Florida before he was chewed to death. But Big Madam wasn't going to give up easily, and fought with the determination of ten regular sized madams. The battle raged on for some time, with neither side showing an opening, but eventually the tired ghoul slipped up and got pierced by Hired Contractor. That concluded the raid on the ghoul HQ, and shortly after reserve troops were called in to lock down and search the facility.

If I had to I would jump in that region beside you
So let me ask you,
Would ya like that? Would ya like that?
And I don't mind if you say
This raid is the last time
So now I'll ask,
Do ya like that? Do ya like that?
No
Variance is getting in the way
Trigger's just about to update
I will try to find my place
In the diary of Plage
So, tell me
How it should be?
Try to find out
What makes you great as I scroll down
Posting point
Do ya like that, Do ya like that?
There's a fine line
Between hit and miss
And I don't mind
Just let me say,
That I like that, I like that
The Emperor personally led a pillaging run with two of Rome's finest warriors with the purpose of training a promising Legionary in the art of cultural enlightenment and aggressive negotiation. 15 barbarian villages were brought under the iron fist of the Empire and the natives were given free promotional lessons in the culture and history of Rome as well as the many reasons why our Emperor is so great at leading the mighty legions of the Empire into battle. Many barbarians are inspired to join the unstoppable forces of Rome with the goal of recieving the highest honor and attention any Roman can achieve: getting recorded in the Diary of Plage. And they like that. They like that.

Plog showing a native the hidden camera after the raid
[OBNOXIOUS INTRO]
"Welcome to Rome TV's PLOG'D, my name is Plog Cutcherus and today we have some special targets in mind."
*puts on random hat/mask for no apparent reason*
"Our first target is gonna be this wild barbarian village just south of Magna Germania, and we're gonna burn down their houses and enslave their women and children. But the punchline is, it's all recorded on a hidden camera! PLOG'D!"
Barbarian viciously assaults the Emperor after being shown that his family's murder was just a joke, except they're still dead
[cut to scene of Plagentine with a cast on his arm]
"ALRIGHT! Now that's how you PLOG some barbies amirite? Good thing we showed him a camera before things got really ugly. Our next target for some PLOGGING is gonna be over a hundred Senators of the Roman Republic.
We're gonna make a fake situation where we assassinate all of them in order to remove our political opponents and seize their finances so that we can elevate our position and eventually create an autocratic state with us at the top.
But there's nothing to worry about because, as always, it's all just recorded on a hidden cam!"
Plagentine personally assassinating one of the Senators
[cut to scene of Plagentine in purple clothing and a crown of leaves]
"That's it for this episode of PLOG'D! Haha those guys really took the jokes well, even that barbarian wasn't that mad after he got a bath for the first time ever. This sure is the prime example of good comedy, and all of my new Senators and servants agree as well!
See you on the next episode of PLOG'D!"
