Tayler — Today at 1:27 PM
Tikba calling people nazis for 3 days now isn't in poor taste though?
someone complained about her so I had to find out what happened

Kelfur — 11/06/2024 8:36 AM
Looking forward to what can be, unburdened by what has been.

Tikba — 11/06/2024 8:37 AM
I mean this is a pretty good fascist slogan
You should send it in
Maybe they’ll put it on a shirt and pay you nothing

Kelfur — 11/06/2024 8:38 AM
Thanks, i borrowed it from the Harris campaign.

Vanah — 11/06/2024 8:55 AM
Let's not antagonize each other. Remember rule 2, keep it civil, no name calling or harassment. I do not have the heart to monitor this political discussion and if this channel keeps getting reported I will just slow mode it until someone else can.

Kaonashi — 11/06/2024 9:29 AM
Today is going to be a weird day for a lot of people. Let's just try our best to be good to each other and enjoy the pleasure of each other's company for what it is.

Tikba — 11/06/2024 9:31 AM
It is disgusting to me to see the GMs praise the virtues of getting along civilly with people who want me to be killed.

Tikba — 11/06/2024 9:45 AM
Again, if you would just say “I voted for Trump and I want you to be killed” at least I’d know you were honest
People can’t seem to admit in public that they wanted the things they chose

Dendum — 11/06/2024 9:46 AM
But I know people who voted for Trump who don't know you and therefore can't want you specifically dead

Rolfard — 11/06/2024 9:48 AM
I live in NY. My vote was stolen when someone impersonating me used my name, dob, and address forging my signature voted 2 hours before I showed up. NY is a no ID state. I didn't like either candidate so after 40 minutes I was allowed to swear I'm me and vote, leaving both presidential options blank because personal beliefs

Tikba — 11/06/2024 9:48 AM
Man
Two enlightened centrists in New York State in the same discord
Is this statistically plausible

Erek — 11/06/2024 9:49 AM
I saw a story about someone else having that problem in NY (having their vote stolen)

Rolfard — 11/06/2024 9:49 AM
Another person from work has the same story
I'm a disillusioned registered Democrat

Kelfur — 11/06/2024 9:49 AM
Requiring ID to vote is exactly what the Nazi's would do

Tikba — 11/06/2024 9:49 AM
It’s also weird how these guys who definitely did not vote for Trump are so personally offended by my comments about people who voted for Trump
Inexplicable I guess

Rolfard — 11/06/2024 9:50 AM
And calling half the country including people I love (and some I don't) Nazis makes me even more disconnected from the Ds

Kaonashi — 11/06/2024 9:51 AM
There's a lot of emotional in all directions today. Again, I'd just urge restraint in how we deal with our fellow humans here. That's all.

Zhagen — 11/06/2024 9:52 AM
Did you lose a bet with the other GMs and pull Off-topic monitoring duty today of all days?

Ordim — 11/06/2024 9:54 AM
we should talk about something positive in this game, like all the storyline GMS who are left...oh

Whirlin — 11/06/2024 9:58 AM
So... Emotions are high... we're trying to help simmering it down a little bit, and added a cooldown for today... Just... make sure to be respectful to one another, and try not to take broad statements too personally.... while also try to avoid baiting folks with broad statements

Ordim — 11/06/2024 9:59 AM
I do not recognize the last remaining envoy who tried to monetize the game as an authority here. Please send a real GM or someone affiliated with simutronics

Eusah — 11/06/2024 10:00 AM
Can we please keep things civil?

Azidaer — 11/06/2024 10:00 AM
Everyone is allowed to be upset, happy, passionate, emotional. Everyone is allowed to voice their thoughts. What's not allowed are the things that break or skirt the rules.

Tikba — 11/06/2024 10:00 AM
I am not really worried about offending folks. After all, there are no Trump voters here. Nobody who will admit they supported him and they just like mass deportations and abortion bans. They just aren’t around, so nothing to worry about

Erek — 11/06/2024 11:08 AM
GMs - thanks for not shutting the conversation down completely. It would be easy to say "We don't talk about politics here" but people need to talk through this.

Tikba — 11/06/2024 11:08 AM
I'm not sure what "talking through this" really means, though. I don't think we are going to arrive at a civil acceptance of each other's views.

Brute — 11/06/2024 11:09 AM
For the most part everyone has been pretty restrained. I'd have expected way more fireworks.

Tikba — 11/06/2024 11:10 AM
there's not much reason to have a lot of fireworks. after all, there are no trump supporters here.

Whirlin — 11/06/2024 11:10 AM
We've reminded folks on civility a few times, but, slowmo helps collect thoughts a bit as well.

Lithyia — 11/06/2024 11:10 AM
I'm only holding back to avoid a ban.

Tikba — 11/06/2024 11:11 AM
I'm not holding back at all! I am relying on the good sense of our moderators

Kaonashi — 11/06/2024 11:15 AM
Let's just keep trying to be civil with each other. That's it.

Tikba — 11/06/2024 11:15 AM
Definitely worth thinking about whose feelings and views are centered and considered to justify supporting mass deportations and abortion bans. We're hearing it right here in this channel.

Kaonashi — 11/06/2024 3:08 PM
This is certainly the most stirred I've ever seen among the people I love and some people I disagree with.

Tikba — 11/06/2024 3:08 PM
I’ll reemphasize my earlier point — Trump supporters should be banned from the discord. They don’t believe in civility! It is a lot nicer than the things they want done to me.

Tayler — 11/06/2024 3:40 PM
I didn't fill in a presidential candidate, I went entirely to vote for local offices and to pass NY prop 1

Tikba — 11/06/2024 3:41 PM
So then I don’t think you’re a nazi. I think you’re a person who sees a Nazi and goes “I mean both sides are basically the same.” Totally different right

Tayler — 11/06/2024 3:42 PM
I'm pretty sure people screaming "Nazi" at the other side that just wants to ensure they can continue to put food on the table, regardless of how that plays out, is equally questionable morally, yes



Honorable mention:

Whirlin — 11/07/2024 3:55 PM
You still think there will be elections? He said he was gonna fix that so we never need to vote again

[Parkbandit]

I couldn't stand the officials... looks like the official discord is even worse.

Tikba comes across as a time4fun alt.

Whirlin comes across as an unhinged loser who DESPERATELY wants a job at Simutronics.

Apparently Tikba is or at least was an "envoy," whatever the fuck that's supposed to be. I'm guessing it's the Discord equivalent of the "blue names" on the officials.

[Suppressed Poet]

Does Tikba = Time4Fun? That was great. Please have them cry into my coffee mug.

Tell Tikba your pronouns are We / Won.

Are the ramblings of narcissistic, self-absorbed, mentally unstable people.

Openly calling for discrimination, censorship, and violation of citizens rights... Honestly astounding.

When they're still alive, living their life, and nothing has happened to them in four years... hopefully they'll seek some psychological help from a professional...

To think you're so important, that others give a fuck what you do with your day to day life? No one cares. No one is coming for you. No one is asking for you to be banned or censored.

Oddly though... they're calling for those things for their fellow citizen... and Fascists like that should be called out... So I'll say it... You, Tikba, are a piece of shit... and should be banned for your openly discriminatory threats.

[Shaps]

Also, I've played this game off and on for 30 years... I'll take breaks, come back, enjoy, then take another break... I love the lands, and it's been a large part of my life, which I've enjoyed immensely.

Seeing this type of vitriol allowed on the "OFFICIAL DISCORD"... something SIMU requires people to utilize now... well that's done. One more long time subscriber gone from the lands.

Say this shit on unofficial forums? I'm all for it, speak your mind, and let's discuss shit... but on the "OFFICIAL DISCORD" supported by SIMU? Yea fuck that...

Just like LNET - No moderation or oversight, say what you want - SIMU doesn't control/monitor/endorse it... It's my choice and I love everyones freedom to say what they want there.

But in game amunet? - SIMU has done a decent job of keeping the bullshit to a minimum... but they allow it on their "OFFICIAL DISCORD"... yea fuck 'em.

I have no clue who Tikba is, never heard of them before, but I'm gonna assume they're white and trans, in which case they have to pretend Trump is coming for them because it's their last hope to play any sort of victim card. And the trans card is pretty much the only "victim" play left for white people, even though literally 0 people give a fuck about someone being trans as long as they're not dragging kids into it or beating the fuck out of women in sports.

Or best case, they're just very low IQ and extremely gullible and thinks that MSNBC is real news.

Probably.

“Everyone who voted for Trump is a Nazi! I’m being civil because no one here is admitting they voted for Trump so therefore I’m not calling anyone a Nazi!”

You know the rules don’t apply to certain people on the official Discord if the mods actually let that bullshit slide.
