Popular Post Spaceman Thrax Posted June 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Hello, Hollow Meat! Uncle has come to me with an idea. In a world of blobs, the untethered man is king. In a world of flags, a flagless man is the only one with a hill. In a world of nations, only the faceless man has a visage. It is the silent man who truly has a voice. Contact your Uncle if you wish to be heard. Everything in this game is super polarized and I wonder if things would be more interesting if people could speak without having to worry about their alliance and allies when they did so. I had the idea of doing interviews that I would post, where the speaker would be held anonymous. I'd be willing to guarantee anonymity, and would be willing to say that should this be compromised, my nation and alliance are forfeit. If you are in the loop and interested, feel free to contact me and we'll discuss! Edit/Status Update: To those that have expressed interest: I've selected someone to do the first interview. This will give me a chance to work the kinks out and show everyone more clearly how this will work. If you've gotten in touch but I haven't contacted you again yet, please bear with me. I'll give you a rib poke once I'm ready for you. : ) Edited June 7, 2017 by Spaceman Thrax 10 Quote Slaughter the shits of the world. They poison the air you breathe. ~ William S.

Spaceman Thrax Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 I think I've had enough interest already to say that this can be a go. If you have ideas for questions you might like answered as part of this feel free to post them here. Also don't hesitate to get in touch if you think you can do an interesting interview! 2 Quote Slaughter the shits of the world. They poison the air you breathe. ~ William S.

If we have reached the level where people are so much restricted by their alliance or the status quo that they have to fear about speaking freely, then there is something really wrong with the community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about you but if I've got something to say I kinda just say it, for better or for worse.... Just ask purplemoon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have reached the level where people are so much restricted by their alliance or the status quo that they have to fear about speaking freely, then there is something really wrong with the community. I agree, really. But there are people that probably don't feel this way, and them having a forum doesn't seem like the worst idea to me. I also think the idea of secret identities is just kinda cool and fun, so there's that. If you don't mind speaking your mind, keep doing it! That kicks ass. If you do, though, maybe this can help.

Buorhann Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'm waiting for my fellow Mensa members and Friends/Allies on approaching you to shit talk the great green pink hippo. So then I can go on a witch hunt detective spree to determine who said something about me. Then squash em. 1 Quote Warrior of Dio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfPCFQfOnLg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fraggle Posted June 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) From The Desk of Wembly Fraggle The Nation of Fraggle Rock Greetings to all the most awesome nations of the world. And a hearty hello to others. As I am not a fan of this fake cult that Ma-nay From Toronto represents, I will not be able to respond to any of these questions. Questions? What is the real purpose of these "Questions"? Come on people of Orbis. You know the drill by now. Don't trust people. That's how we got here. We are in a world in where a bunch of Fraggles can do whatever we want because you are afraid of alliances. That's on you. Answer the "Questions". Don't. No, go ahead and answer them. It's what they want you to do. Don't lie to him. That won't be productive. Actually on second thought...I will be sending a special Fraggle to be "Questioned". Please do not assume to know who he is. I have blacked out his face and you will never guess. Spoiler Alert: It's not me. But is it? No I kid, it's true. Everything you think about this is exactly what they want and that is what matters in the end. Please return my Fraggle when you are done with this mess of an intelligence operation.

Spaceman Thrax Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 This sounds like something a squarehead would think up. Rude! I dunno what CNtel is.
