NS Cliches II: Re-Rebooted

[A m e n r i a]

They tend to use blue tbh

im evil...

Yes you're literally Soeharto.

Cliche: comparing others to terrible historical leaders that committed genocide.

cliche: what is logistic

This isn't even just a military thing either! People don't ever think about the logistics of business and transport infrastructure, their nation's finances, etc.

I stand by my thesis that ~80% of NSers are here to play the issues-game and run a nation or create a sock puppet with a flag for them to smash into other sock puppets' militaries like they did GI Joes and Army Men as a kid.

You underestimate my sheer levels of autism!

Do not underestimate my mental disability again…

Yeah. Very original. It’s been done before, so why not again?

I mean, the main thing I was thinking of was making the whole thing incredibly utopian upon first glance, but then adding in some fridge horror, and maybe a few “DATA REDACTED” signs, and adding a few hidden dispatches.

Not every nation needs to try to reinvent the wheel; sometimes the way that you go about doing an idea is enough to differentiate you. Writing style & quality matter, ya know?

I was more confused why he was saying that here more than anything, since this is, y’know, the cliche thread. Figured it was related to that :/

please no dear god no please the data redacted shit I hate that cliche so much it has been abused to beyond death on NS.
like at least actually have the data somewhere
or hide the text but have it actually there, like so
If you can find the info somewhere or sneakily read it, works fine, but just blocking out chunks of information is very bad writing imo. Low tier SCP quality writing y’know


also did you say “fridge” horror
what is that lol
OH GOD THE FRIDGE, I-ITS ALIVE!!!! BEWARE THE MOLD MONSTER!!!

Yeah, there’s gonna be the info somewhere. But there’s going to be some up to the imagination.

Fridge horror is where something gets absolutely terrifying when you think about it; like how our weapons are planet annihilators and there is no way that’s not a war crime.

NS Cliche: New threads in F7 being more military powerwank threads instead of anything fresh for a forum game...

also did you say “fridge” horror

Basically, something that's only terrifying once you realize it is. A detail that's otherwise just another line, but then you think about it, and the implications of it set in.

Why is it called fridge horror
what is so horrifying to think about fridges

I do not have those I think annihilating planets is stinky!!! Especially for the Visari - that would be highly counterproductive!!!

God forbid F7 has anything other than the most basic and boring one word response threads or utter wankfests - it would not be F7 any other way.

So like “women belong in the kitchen” if it was said by a cannibal

This prompted me to research on why it is called fridge horror.

Wiktionary's explanation:

Etymology
Coined by TV Tropes in 2009, by analogy with fridge logic.

Noun
A seemingly innocuous detail in a story, which, upon further contemplation, carries disturbing undertones.

Fridge logic:

Etymology
Coined by TV Tropes in 2007. Based on the earlier icebox scene, a term coined by director Alfred Hitchcock for an illogical scene which, in his words, "hits you after you've gone home and start pulling cold chicken out of the icebox".

Noun
An initially overlooked detail in a story, which, upon further contemplation, is more nonsensical or unrealistic than originally assumed, often to the point of creating a plot hole.

Maybe TVTropes should have called it "icebox horror".

If it was AU/AN or BN then ig it's understandable, but /skipme or /stillme are pretty obvious on it's own, even most summies (or people unfamiliar to F7 jargon) use it when asking about AN/BN.

How do you "larp" on an online roleplaying forum, as opposed to normal rp?

In an online context I've always seen larp as meaning someone is making something up about their life.
