NS Cliches: Rebooted

[Wejas]

I will enforce my standards onto NSers trying to escape their boring/depressing reality by creating a fun world.

Seethe and Cope.

[Black Raven Movement]

I wonder how many people on NS would buy this piece of shit if I tried to dress it up as something that's not shit.
:thinking:

I'm a total buffoon at tank armaments and what makes a tank useful in battle, but a QF 6-pounder gun doesn't sound appealing. Neither the shitty range.

How many times are we gonna keep seeing the "X nation hangs/executes/smuggles/wishes for a marriage to quench the user's hormone surge for Y reason" threads? And why are some of them by the same fucker?

For the record, the Valiant is a tank that the director of the British Tank Museum in Bovington described as "If games depicted this thing as realistic the keyboard should electrocute you at random intervals".
<.< >.>
Yes this tank was so shit actively tried to kill its driver.

That user always does that stuff. Not exactly sure why he hasn't been purged yet.

Good take identified, dispensing based token.

Er, literally who? Coz it sounds like a certain other person with the wacko gen threads that ask crazy questions like "would you push a button that solves world hunger but there's no more tech" or something in that strange line of thought that completely deviates from a more practical question ("Operation Artemis" comes to mind), with an added story behind it that makes little sense, paired to them nudging and trying to convince the collective thread to reach an agreement on a forced outcome, then moving goalposts when that doesn't work...

... Which, while equally annoying, does get a little amusing at times. Even if it's a collective of people trying to debate with a brick wall and expecting an answer from a building on the other side of town.

I can throw a TG your way if you want, I'm pretty sure anyone who's dabbled in the military worldbuilding thread can tell you who it is.

Which reminds me, I should really get an actual RP started sometime soon.

I mean the guy that perpetually hornyposts with his "Sex Slaves" in his various caliphates

Ooooh that guy. How is he still on this site anyways? Jeez.

Honestly? He found the line he can toe before he gets slapped, so he's going to toe it until he takes a tumble over

Skirting the line, big time.

What struck his other accounts down, apart from the Sex slave shit?

Not exactly sure, but the accounts seem to be doing the same general stuff they were then.

Unfortunately, hornyposting has a long history in NS. Could be one of the longest-running cliches, even

[Sorci]

I've certainly heard enough about it

[Black Raven Movement]

Most likely, yeah. I would argue it's amusing when it's either poorly orchestrared hornyposting, either on purpose or on total accident. Every other time? Either in a gray area, or somehow alright.

I'm guilty of that, so is everyone on here, but how it's orchestrared depends on, I suppose, if whoever is doing it is an actually good writer.

[Greater Vanguard Cult]

Unfortunately, hornyposting has a long history in NS. Could be one of the longest-running cliches, even

the funny thing is that it could be fairly easily wiped out.

I mean, we've still got problems with arguments over mod abuse of power. Banning the horny won't make it better... at least I think it wont

[Laka Strolistandiler]

There can only be two types of characters that are partially self-inserts:

Fun and generally loveable people, who are a projection of what the user wants to be, or:

Depressed/evil/maniacal abominations who are more or less prevalent amongst less happy people on this site (Like my Alexandria for example).

Change my mind

That would embolden those arguments, so it wouldn't be that great.

How can I change your mind when you have said something that is actually true?

It'd be supremely funny if the Assimilatory-minded psycho AI leader was my self-insert

One can dream...

Idc about hornyposting per se. It's more on those who insist on posting un-PG13 stuff here. It's very possible to include it in an RP in a way very relevant to the overarching story.

Shitpost Cliché: pictures of leaders who smile. Smile. In front of a camera. So cliché man.

Tbh everyone does it IRL, leaders as well, why not? It's not really a cliche, more of the norm.

Plus it's meant to make the leader look good, human, and positive.

Nobody wants to stare at an image of their leader glaring at them as if they had committed several atrocities against the state and thus the leader's hatred is so pure that it even seeps openly from every last image of them.

You don't generally expect official portraits to have someone with a massive frown, though.

[Gandoor]

Anyone else remember the days when there'd be constant arguments in F7 because of one specific user who refused to use anything but NS stats in F7 games?

I don't remember their username exactly, I think it was something like Pantallia or some shit like that and they had a purple flag?
