"Ah yes, the new exposition of Tsuneko Nagi...eh, I mean Tsuneko Zorilla. 50 Shades of Blue. Everything is actually in shades of blueish-grey! Save for some hot-colored objects that look like animistic kid's art which may or may not represent anger...or something."
-???

"Children are...eee...Animists. Yes."
-Tsuneko Zorilla

[Estainia]

Whenever you suspect a post by Estainia is a shout-out to some obscure reference none of the rest of you will get, take a shot.

"The Archsage died against a dragon, the Dark Druid died of old age, I think, the Little Knight founded a league of city-states, the Horseman... Well he was a nomad and went nomad-y. The Berserker founded a warrior-society on the Isles, and the Hero-King founded the Mountain Kingdom. Impressive, right? Well the Saint is worshiped as a God, she wins, period." - Cornelius A. Maximilian, reminiscing.

[Singaporean Transhumans]

If the person speaking is Overwatch AI from the PTFS making a generic daily announcement/reminder/order, take a shot.

If the announcement includes the words "anticitizen", "amputation", "permanent off-world relocation", "re-assignment", "policide", "sociocide", drink a glass of whatever you have.

If the announcement includes a code reminder (e.g. Code: Lock, Cauterize, Stabilize) drink a bottle of whatever you have. Does not accumulate.

"ALL UR CHEEZBURGERS R BELONGIN 2 US."
-Chairman Meow, sending a message to an unknown galaxy.

[Syla]

Remove my previous incarnations. They should be the most Asian-sounding ones. Taoju/Senyosu/Imyoji? Remove them. They never existed. New nations are Lansuo, Sekuo, and Syla. Lansuo and Syla will be author avatars. Sekuo will be for IC purposes.

So. Whenever a Sekuonese (can apply to Lansuo or Syla if one is masochistic enough) mentions anything about how suffering is inescapable and that the self is a lie, treat yourself to Absinthe. If it is a follow up to a Mackonian, drink the cheapest wine you have.

When there is no king or queen to uphold and protect the various dharmas, the monks will inevitably take matters into their own hands and wage violence and sow discord through lies and dogma. Well, from observation alone that is.

Just look at out pitiful neighbor to the north. Dogma is the executioner of free thought and the ability to believe.

Eh, whatever.

―Sinari Khalyasri Sen, freelancer

[The Third Nova Terra of Scrin]

"The doctrines of Buddhism are reputable, of good nature, of great moral value and good to be followed. But when stupid Westerners particularly Muricans come around and paint the place with New Age shit, or the Indians bring along their scammer gurus and occult chakra chakra and third eye stuff, I can't help but vomit and look away at Siddharta Gautama with disgust.

-Baeyaedo Shurin, famous controversial TV host, kind of our Bill Maher

[Greater Mackonia]

"Nobles and commoners all bleed the same. You may have been born into a comfortable cradle but I promise when this is over you'll be buried in a shallow grave." - President Robert Vale to Lord Albert Champion, at the beginning of the Republic Civil War

[Estainia]

"I've known a lot of madmen in my time, few were as mad, or madder than I am. Only one ever managed to make me shudder in fear." - Cornelius A. Maximilian, on a friend of his.

[Greater Mackonia]

_{"Wahhabism is the malignant mirror offspring of western Liberal-Democracy, it shows it for what it truly is. Think of it, both are based around a grossly simplified worldview of 'good vs evil', 'Dar-al-Islam', 'The Free World' vs 'Dar-al-harb', 'Axis-of-Evil'. Both construct grand, irrational narratives but in reverse directions, the Liberal-Democrats in everlasting progress, the Wahhabi of continual degeneration. Both believe in a baseless but omnipotent set of dentological rather than utilitarian values, 'Sharia' and 'Universal Human Rights'. Both fundamentally arise out of opposistion to the natural world-historical process embodied in 'Communism' (that is Fascism)."}

[Barboneia]

Whenever a Barboneian makes a reference to how something in Barboneia is similar to Brave New World or Nineteen Eighty-Four, take a shot.

"History isn't written by the victors. It's written by who's alive in the end."-Anon. Greater Barboneian Army Lieutenant

[Greater Mackonia]

<sub>"When in 1944 King Abdul Aziz al Saud signed a deal allowing American petroleum companies access to his country's oil he started a cycle which stunted the historical development of the West. You see the historical dialectic dictates man's progress as being one of production, his lowest natural state one of foraging, simple resource gathering--the sort that built Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is an artificial state, it has no culture, only control, no technology which is not brought- its one virtue is oil. With its newfound wealth the Saudi regime propagated its degenerate faith around the world, from this movement the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and Isis can all be traced. The forces of historical progress in the region, Nassar, Assad, Saddam, all who pledged nominal allegiance to the Socialist Nationalism of Ba'athism (and thus worked in fidelity to historical and thus material progress) were declared enemies of the West. The war the Wahabbi movement waged victorious was one of the most extreme tribal reaction against progress, a simulacra of the greater Cold War.

In 1973 the Saudis ground the west to a halt, the historical process has been reversed, Hegel rolls in his grave. To appease them Nixon does away with Bretton Woods and the Petrodollar is born, laying the framework for a new system of high finance, a system built on money invested by the Saudi and Gulf states. Think of it, an utterly abstract, immaterial system of barely rational exchanges, the antithesis of creative production. The financial crisis wrecked by 1973 sees the rise of right-wing governments in Britain and America whose economic reforms destroys manufacturing and shifts power to the Banks. Marx is dead, and he died West of the Wall. Labour is now irrelevant, the proletariat an endangered species. With the end of the great ideologies of reason a new era of animal moralism dawns, all political conviction and passion dies and is replaced by the compromise politics held together by a string of infantile moral dichotomies. The West regressed. We embraced our own Wahabbism."</sub>

"If you disturb me while I'm reading, drinking or eating, make sure that that shit is important or if you are important to me. Otherwise, shoo."
-Lord Crystallia

[The Transcended Darkness]

If the quote is from the Book of Omnius, drink a glass of whatever you have.

---

The war was vast, encompassing the fabric of spacetime itself. Worlds burned, and entire civilisations were wiped out in the first day of the great conflict. Yet the most devastating battle in those early days was the fall of Elysium. The planet was a blasphemous stronghold, daring to defy the natural order and resist the ever-changing chaos. First, its skies were torn asunder, and the holy servants of the great one spilled through the wound in reality, massacring the heathens. Then, great ships metal descended from the black void of space, carrying Humanii soldiers loyal to the holy cause. They pushed back the wretched machines of the enemy, killing soldiers and civilians alike, all were guilty of heresy and had to be punished.
-Extract from the Book of Omnius

[Multiversal Cucumbers]

[Ruridova]

If Ruridova doesn't use or mention an author avatar in a quote, take a shot; if the speaker is a politician take a shot of bourbon, if it's a comedian or news anchor take a shot of rum.

Also, probably change "whenever Cornelius Maximilian speaks, drink a shot" to "whenever Cornelius Maximilian or Z. Maglos speaks, drink a shot".

"I legitimately feel that the next time there's some sort of major diplomatic event involving Ruridova and Wisconsin, the Ruridovans should just blast Taylor Swift's Bad Blood until the event ends."

"Uh, okay?"
- Josu Inaki and C.M. Tagliaferro, in conversation

[Fatatatutti]

If somebody mentions Alphonse, take a shot.

[Illrian]

"What do you mean about how do my mate and I educate our children at home? Why, the first thing we teach them is: We ARE predators.. the second thing is: Everyone outside our Family and Clan ARE prey.."

[Greater Mackonia]

"So.

Lizards! Altruistic Morality is a lie, Western Political Theory is fallacious and founded upon an outdated conception of God, people are not equal, did I mention they were vampiric lizards?, natural rights don't exist, humanism is Christianity for idiots, international law is baseless and for weaklings, they can shoot lightening too you know, Marxism is futile idiocy, Capitalism just gives stupid people purpose in life, Democracy leads to ruin and is self-contradictory, the Social Contract is a myth, Americans are degenerates, Europe was best roughly around 1922 and just went downhill from there, Russians are slightly better degenerates, oh and they're haemaphrodites those lizards, nothing is wrong with imperialism but don't pretend you're doing it for some kind of 'human decency', 'human decency' is a myth, Blame Hegel, 'community' is a poisonous idea for the dim and friendless, family is a primitive institution of oppression, religion is just politicised philosophy, Education and technology will solve all our social problems but trying to solve social problems is futile because human progress is just a convenient secular myth derived from Christianity and post-scarcity will bring nothing but universal despair and uncontrollable hedonism, Tyranny is good and all British politicians are blithering idiots. Selfishness is the noblest ethical goal and the meaning of life is to free yourself from the dogmas of faith, family, society and eventually reason itself to transcend the misery of perspectives and become a unniversal moral law to yourself hopefully stopping the mindless herd from butchering each other for a few seconds, or realise your own utter mediocrity and do us all a favour by returning to a more honest meaninglessness.

Oh and there are talking cats...and lots of silly hats.

Rinse and repeat for the next 500 pages. Now, I have bags to pack."
