So are we done playing nice now? Are we done running around trying to fix everything to have everything else around it come back six fold and destroy it? It's fun to watch moronic AI. Watching the AI that thinks it's making a difference by running around in varying circles, picking up every useless item to bring it back to its master is usually a fun pass time.

Lately?
Annoying. Bothersome. Boring. Predictable. You realize that the repetition of things is insanity or practice, so which one are we doing?

Next time maybe you'll listen to your smaller minority telling you that if we're so important, if no one can do it without the incoming onslaught of all of us, we take things into our own hands. I vote for that instead of letting inept leadership and people who tell us they know better use us like respawnable minions for their beck and call. Then as soon as anyone does anything productive, we let some "unseen force" swoop in and fuck it up.

Remember that the next time you're called on and made to feel like something you're not just to be manipulated for the gain of others. Sound good? Sounds good. You're welcome I fixed it.

There's always some "unseen force" fucking something up in places like this.

The inept leadership is amusing, at least.

What did you fix? What did you actually do?

[Gokudera has no room to talk. He was busy dealing with his own shit and woke up to... something else major going on that he didn't make time for. Boss didn't make a comment, so he just did what he does best. He minds his business.]

[facepalmchampion]

It's due to a hand that doesn't know when to squeeze. Both of those things are one in the same. The shit leadership and the mass losses, in time, effort and lives.

Started by putting my foot down. I've been shy-tanking around this place and somewhere between feeling sorry for myself and being thrown back to reality, I realized I'm no one's bitch and I'm tired of how shit happens here. If I think something is a shit move, I'll work in the way I want to, not the way someone else wants me to.

[That sounds like a whole damn day, already. A Monday™️, actually.]

[bakudan_bambino]

Are you blaming most all the bad that's happened on the King? Or you're saying it's the King and everyone just following him?

Not that I care. I don't know him. I'm not a knight and don't ever plan on becoming one.

Sounds like how I was the last time we spoke...

If you think something is a shit move, let me know. I can at least back you up on it.

[facepalmchampion]

A little bit of A, a little bit of B, some of C. If people don't see how shitty the leadership has been that we get blindsided all the time even while we bring in scores of people from multiple multiverses... 1+1 is always going to be 2.

Now that's what I mean! Get tired of being treated like shit and do something about it with other people who are tired of being treated like shit. I'm glad you see the benefit of saying no. I'd rather work with you than against you.

[while he doesn't understand half that jargon, old man gets the frustration. Deeply.]

And what, then, are you proposing, exactly? Not that I disagree wtih the sentiment, but if the alternative to cooperating is going off and caring only about restaurants and music shows, we'll be stuck here forever - or until the entire island crumbles under our feet.

And no one is surprised a villain monologues.

[facepalmchampion]

I don't care about those regularly. When things start looking like our upper echelon would like to shove us in the stupidest direction, we start planning otherwise. Find people who are good at intelligence and start gathering, coordinating and getting our own plans. I don't have any love for this world but it's the only way I'm getting where I want to go in the end. They brought us here to do a job they're not helping us to do on more than surface level.

We let them dick us around for a long time and when we're being shafted in the backline trying to fix their mess, none of them touch the damn point even to hold at least until we get there.

[trueltning_fury]

[oh boy. It sounds just like Yuber, but he knows Yuber's screen name so...oh boy. But they're all right. Geddoe is already on board with fucking the rules and mounting their own resistance, there's just more than a small chance all these intelligent minds will differ wildly on the methods.

Also don't mind if he sticks to talking; old man no text]

Well, good. The fewer people busy entertaining themselves, the better.

I have this feeling, though, that most of those who also understand this point are not exactly team plyers.

[facepalmchampion]

[Shigaraki hasn't had the pleasure, or the displeasure, of someone with a like mind like his. But at least there are people who have the same upset about one or more of the things he touched even vaguely on.

He can use voice all he wants to, there'll be no qualms from this guy.]

After all this? Anyone doing it can stick their head in the sand and be useless. Don't care what they do as long as it isn't get in the way.

And? No one has to be a team player, we just all have to have a common goal and a way to cooperate long enough to get it done. I'm not looking to squad up and put yet another collar around your, or anyone else's neck.

do you realize that you haven't actually made a suggestion

[facepalmchampion]

If you don't realize the suggestion, then maybe that's why there's so many people so easily manipulated.

[ichoosefight]

'don't be a sheep' is not a suggestion. it's a vague insult.

[facepalmchampion]

Ahh, so you got it and you came to pick a fight over semantics instead of actually trying to be productive. Alright, I'll bite. Give me all the things you'd have picked at so we can get them out of the way.

Hindsight is 20/20

Swooping in with a "I told you so" after a tragedy isn't exactly helping anyone but your own ego.

[facepalmchampion]

It would've been if I hadn't been saying this for months stranger who I've never talked to before but somehow has intimate knowledge of every conversation I've had.

[peninhand]

[ There's a couple minutes before the next reply... Searching, searching... Okay, got it. ]

Right. Four months ago you made a post complaining about being bored and waiting for a war to start.

Am I supposed to assume you've been privately messaging everyone in Avalon every months with calls to revolt and action? Because so far it looks like you're interested in making people feel worse and nothing more.

[facepalmchampion]

Thank whatever god wants to claim it for you. I needed that laugh. You know if you put your energy into something worthwhile like organizing information with the people who've stepped forward with their discontent, I bet shit would go better.

But. I actually don't hate your type: The smart guys who try to say something smart and end up saying obvious things that go really no where but it's good fun for the moment. Yeah. You can assume that. Put a checkmark on your clipboard list.

Making people feel bad? If they feel bad, then they've done something to warrant it. You can check that off the survey too.

What's the next one? I like this survey.

[He's not sure how this conversation is going to go so hey, better to be anon and safe than attach his name to something that might possibly backfire.

Idia taught him well.]

"Take things into our own hands" here meaning "doing the exact same thing we're doing already, just with fewer resources and more pissed off politicians".

You do realize that, right? It's all well and good to tell people not to let others boss them around, but it's pointless when they'd all just do the same thing anyway.

[facepalmchampion]

[It'll go as well as it does or doesn't. He's given to whim and day so one day it might've gone well and the next it might've not. All in all this isn't a giant middle finger and therefore probably a win.]

You think I don't realize it so let me pretend I don't. That'll help you feel like you've done something here instead of just be a contrarian. But hey if you're in to being bossed around, I hear there's good jobs around here.

[dottedline]

I didn't say you didn't have a point. I was simply wondering how exactly you're hoping to get people to listen to you and side with you when you are, as you said, the minority. Most of the people here are goody-two-shoes, after all.

[facepalmchampion]

I started by posting this. You replied didn't you? It's being read, isn't it? Seems like my Massive Scheme Ultimate Plan™️ worked. As for who is what here... An idiot is an idiot I don't care how good or bad they are, whatever that is. If they want to be used, then that's on them. I'm not here to babysit anyone.

Bottom line: If people like what I'm saying or want to add to it? Here I am. This isn't the first, and won't be the last time I've broken away from a shitty system or complimented it by finding other people.

If offworlders are AI doesn't that make you AI too?

[facepalmchampion]

[Sh...shut the fuck up. How dare the himbo of heroville be actually right. God damn it.]

If I stayed a complacent idiot letting people manipulate me, then yes.

[machismost]

[ Honestly the himbo's eyes sort of glazed at the big wall of text rant, so he's only slowly making his way through the rest of the paragraphs, but was nonetheless moved to address what stuck out in the first. ]

Idk man in the games I've played there's plenty of AI that's like 'dude on the corner yelling about the end of the world' or 'political angry person' on the tv you walk past on your way to the actual quests...

Have you actually tried any of the missions or are you saying you've just been watching everyone else?

[facepalmchampion]

Then you have a terrible taste in games that you put up with. I feel sorry for you for that reason and that alone.

I've been on missions, I've been on a damn lot of them and even if I hadn't that doesn't stop me from being right.

...But I like helping people. That's why I do it. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't bother -- because you're right, no one can force us to do things we don't want to.

Which I suppose begs the question of why you're complaining. No one said you had to do anything more than sit on your arse and watch, right?
