MANWARS

Post by Scratch » Thu Mar 05, 2015 9:18 pm

Anthony "Tony" Marcone takes off his coat and hangs it up on his hat rack. He settles into his computer chair, thankful to be home after a long day denying workers comp at the Venetian Affairs Office, and sips his cup of joe. He scrolls through the headlines in his feed for a while, reading half a sentence of the headlines before moving on. "Scythian Professor shot in international lo-" "Emerian separatists fight against OASIS i-" "Still no news from Starl-" he pauses and reads the weather page before opening a new tab to go to his favorite forum, MANWARS.COM.

He reads the new turn of "Kurdistan Rising" and one of the non-combat reports on the Iranian Nuclear Treaty he finds it a bit dry but that it develops the character of Boehner and the Israeli guy he can't remember the name of. He then signs onto the official MANNWAR chat to begin his evening.

*** mob_dedma5 joined #MANNWARS

<bo>: I swear the mob running Emeria worse than the Emerians did is really saying somewhing when you think about it.

<MANNServ>: [#MANNWARS] No impersonating other dudebros. Trattorian fanfiction strictly banned due to Comptroller assassins. Have fun!

As he types in his nickname, he glares at the brightly flashing clickbait ad in at the top of the window, he really should find some way to deal with it so he can stop seeing "NEW TRATTORIAN 'XXX MIRACLE CURE' ADDS 4 STUDS IN 3 WEEKS!! LET PORNSTACHE DIRK SHOW YOU HOW!"

As he finishes the command stream and his password, he notices there's already an argument in progress.

*** mob_dedma5 is now known as anthonyxx99
<bo>: No man Where are my Pants is pleb tier MANIME, Slam from Genesis is the only MANIME you need.
<bo>: This BR at least.
<Thewhitecat>: Hi tony
<bo>: Hey
<guysguy23>: hi
<anthonyxx99>: Hey guys, what are we talking about?
<bo>: me and whitecat were talking about the hype for Slam from Genesis 2, and guysguy tried to change the subject to Where are my Pants
<guysguy23>: I was trying to show you my new army, but you guys wouldn't shut up about your stupid USAboo basketball shit.
<Thewhitecat>: Hey it's not all basketball, the early seasons had a lot more fantasy elements until Barkley came and stole the show
<anthonyxx99>: Cool, cool, I'm still trying to catch up with the Battle of the Bands before the Mittens spin off happens.
<bo>: Yeah I'm excited for that, his arc needed more development
<guysguy23>: I'm putting you all on ignore unless we're going to talk about Tower of Justice
<anthonyxx99>: don't spoil the final for me, I'm still trying to catch up on the Dr. Blanco fight.
<gao>: You did see the pilot for Death Bowl right tony?
<anthonyxx99>: Yeah, it was a bit short but I like the concept.
<gao>: Good
<guysguy23>: yeah the Blanco fight was one of my favorites, Utiligrey is my husbando/Shinji, still can't tell gender on those grey things
<anthonyxx99>: brb
<Goldeen>: That's xenophobic guysguy23

Tony went to refill his coffee, letting it cool off while he uploaded his new army photos to imgore. He wondered how they would be received, he decides to show some shots off to the MANchat before posting them on the forum.

<anthonyxx99>: Hey guys what do you think of my upgraded infantry http://i.imgore.com/cEVxYIb.png
<UnderU>: Nah I'm telling you that there's no way the QS actually work like that bo, you're looking at it the wrong way.
<gao>: Sorta generic, you should swap some of the parts so they're less obviously from the marines pack.
<anthonyxx99>: here's another shot with the flag http://i.imgore.com/5HESVuE.png
<Thewhitecat>: I like them tony, is that all of them or do you have a larger group shot?
<anthonyxx99>: Lemme grab an overview shot, that's the one I'm going to use for the poster.
<anthonyxx99>: @gao should I switch out the torsos for the ones from the Ukrainian separatists pack? those were my other option but I liked this one better.
<gao>: Yeah that'd be better, maybe trade the guns for something heavier, not AKs though, if you're using Russian funded torsos.
<anthonyxx99>: Ok, brb changing things
<bo>: You've got a different interpretation of the Overwatch saga than I do I guess UnderU, don't be buttmad about it.

Tony took another overview shot of his army, and thought about working overtime so he could afford enough packs of the Ukrainian Separatists to switch out all the torsos.

<anthonyxx99>: Alright here's an overview of the whole force on my B.O.A.T. http://i.imgore.com/4oeCJhz.jpg
*** UnderU was kicked by Goldeen (shit taste bro)
<guysguy23>: I like it anthonyxx99, do you have a clearer shot of the B.O.A.T.? Is it a lander or a carrier re-purposed?
<bo>: That was uncalled for goldy,
*** UnderU joined #MANNWARS
<UnderU>: Wow fuck you too goldpiss
<Goldeen>: I'm just following tina's rules man, don't hate the player
<gao>: if you're not going to be civil stop coming here, both of you.
*** UnderU was kicked by Goldeen (and stay out)
<gao>: wow, c'mon goldeen
<bo>: He didn't even do anything that time
<Goldeen>: Blame tina, don't blame me
<gao>: :l
*** Goldeen was kicked by gao (gao)
<gao>: Let's keep it civil in here
<Thewhitecat>: Can we get back to Barkley now?

Tony grimaced, no one had noticed his army post due to all the drama. This was already the fourth chatroom of the community due to continuous power struggles, they'd already lost #MANWARS, #MANWAR, and #MANBJORK, but everyone kept fighting. It probably was a reflection of the game they all were playing, but still. It didn't help that two of the last 3 admins and 5 of the operators died to bombs planted by other members hoping to usurp the chat, but that was expected too. Tony himself had already had two assassination attempts attempted since he first joined the forums, it was all part of the game. Or at least he assumed it was.

He tabbed back to the chat after finishing his armory post and declaring his "Kingdom of Jordan" to be anti-ISIS so he could participate in the ongoing Iraqi storyline.

<Thewhitecat>: If you really look at the themes you can clearly see that Hoopz represents the Deadly Spaceman at his heart, Vriska and Kawaru are ultimately secondary to the major themes of the work.
<bo>: BS man, if you're going to make that analogy make if for the early seasons, King Scratchian is a much clearer example of the UberFig than either Hoopz or John Cena, most of them fill his roll in the storytelling too.
<Goldeen>: That's just because they have the same voice actor dude, mittens has him and yet for the battle of the bands arc the focus is a lot more on the tree guy and the band contest in general
<anthonyxx99>: My army post is up by the way, just fyi
<bo>: link?
<anthonyxx99>: :diy:
<gao>: Nicely done tony, one issue though
<anthonyxx99>: What do you mean gao?
<gao>: I think you made a typo, where it says anti-ISIS, it should say Pro-ISIS
<anthonyxx99>: no, I'm joining the anti-ISIS side of the war gao, we can have cool battles and stuff.
<gao>: oh, ok, good luck being on the wrong side ;)

His dog barked noisily at him, forcing his attention away from the screen. He rolled his eyes and decided to take the dog out.

<anthonyxx99>: I'm going to go walk the dog, brb guys
<bo>: k, cya
<Goldeen>: Cya tony
<gao>: cya ;)

Pretty funny. I think I got figured out most of the users.

bo=InsertBlank
Thewhitecat=theblackdog
UnderU=Overwatch
Goldeen=Silverdream
anthonyxx99=Scratch

guysguy23=samuelzz10? Anthony's name seems to be a reference to Sam's name because it uses the same style
gao=Colette? Natalya?

All these meta/chat stories all of a sudden, Quantumsurfer deserves more respect than he already gets from starting this.

This means that somewhere on mobbit there is an utterly sober version of me leading an evil not-scythian empire into destroying everything in the most boring and unimaginative way possible?

How horrible.

I'd give a "Babbit's seal of approval" but I don't have one, so this bit of crap text is what you get.
