Guess I won't be seeing one of my aunts for two weeks. Her neighbor just came over to inform her that her friend who works at a nursing home has a patient there who has contracted COVID-19, which means he's been exposed, which means the neighbor has been exposed, which means my aunt has now been exposed.

Yikes.

Hope the neighbor and your aunt will be alright.

God, really dreading the trip to Michigan next month.

I mean, looking forward to seeing family I haven't seen in a while, but I just really really really really hate that 12 hour fucking drive.

That's nothing compared to the nearly 24 hour Hell ride me and my family took 5 years ago to get to Florida to see my brother.

It's only 222.8 km between the two cities, why did it take seventeen hours? Was the border crossing incredibly busy?

He was going at 13 kph the whole way. So either a slow ass car or he's jogging the whole way nonstop.

Interesting. I thought you were going for something more Latinized, which is why I thought the “x” sound corresponded to the Spanish “ch” sound. Of course, I could have thought you went for the aspired H in house (or how the name Mexico sounds in Spanish- Meh-hi-koh) or J in Juan, as that’s the corresponding sound of “x” in Spanish for those two words. I guess the article “la” is what made me think of that.

So I’m in an argument with my RP region. I’m the US, and Texas declares war on Mexico for the second time in one year, and the first time they won without my help? Not to mention the Canada to my north with 500 million soldiers in 1836, but yeah. You can see where this is going. So, since I dislike Texas, and since they have Americans within them, I join Mexico. This prompts Korea, Japan, Austria, Bulgaria, Alsace-Lorraine, Bavaria, and Prussia to declare war on me. How they get to me in 1836? They can’t, but they insist. It’s ridiculous, and they’re likely going to kick me out because I’m proving to them that 1836 boats can’t travel the Atlantic without refueling ports. Not to mention the Pacific. And the Texas thinks they can beat me and Mexico lmao, they shouldn’t have even been able to beat Mexico on their own. Now me? The Texas says they already built the Panama Canal, they built a canal from the Rio Grande to California, they have an Atlantic and Pacific fleet, and that they have stronger armies than Mexico and the US combined. Mind you, they were created in November 1835, at the earliest. It’s currently June 1836. This roleplay is a train wreck, and the delegate is on their side because I’m “ruining the RP”. Bish you got godmodders everywhere and I’M RUINING IT? Sorry for the rant, had to get it out.

Oh and I forgot Poland-Lithuania, yes the one that doesn’t exist in 1836 since it was partitioned by Russia, Prussia, and Austria, also declared war on me. How they’re alive? Beats me. What’s next, aerial bombing?

If they kick me, I’ll just go back to TRR. They’re chill. Or maybe another RP region?

While I have not roleplayed in quite some time that is a pretty clear case of godmodding. With all of that I think you would be better of dropping out of the RP. A bunch of people going off the rails like that is never fun to RP with.

Definitely not.

I think the last time I participated in an RP that bad, was probably, at the latest, 2013 or 2014. That RP is, at best, very unrealistic, and if it wasn't meant to be realistic, then maybe I should join it and RP as sentient mountains.

Yeah, the 7 month old Texas claims to have already colonized New Zealand, Japan is some how unified and the world power, Canada has half the world population in their army, and is independent, as is the PL-C, and everyone has modern ships. The godmodding is so heavy, you’d think they would’ve nuked me by now.

Idk, sentient mountains can easily post in MT threads and RP using "mountain technology." That concept is just so much of a shitpost though that even back when I first conceived of it in 2010, when I was accruing redtext on a weekly basis, I never bothered to do anything with it just because sentient mountains using mountain technology is utterly ridiculous, and I'd get bored of it after a few weeks.
