In Reddit, all people are equal, but some people are more equal than others.

You can bug one of the other mods about it and probably get it undone.

Last BR I saw was Rattlesnakes v. Megathrons, which looks like an interesting counter if you can close range (brawling blasters forver)

For a long time Pokano would hilariously underbid in any s-mart thread. Like, insultingly low, offers that would only be accepted by someone who had no idea what the item was.

He was saying he wants to ban Derty Dan for his poo poo last night but can't or else the guy who runs the subreddit would demod him because of all the butthurt from the other people over it. That's also apparently why the Sion thread was allowed to sit there for so long.

After a long chat with Mittens last night, and after a few days of thought, it's clear that I overreacted to what I perceived to be a very vague threat by Sion due to anger at the situation. What was said doesn't count as threats to my real life, it was an overreaction born out of anger on my end, so I'm done. Reddit needs to stop overreacting in turn with all this hate mob bullshit, because i'm done with it. Sorry to poo poo in your pond, last few years were good fun. Hope you have many more good years ahead.

The wise and mature thing; many of Blawrf's concerns about where we've been loving up are entirely legit, and it's important to be able to walk back some things that were said/done re: "rl threats" without tossing out the rest of those criticisms and the need to improve and reform our org.

Obviously they used their IRL blackmail to get that retraction. Because reddit's opinion of Sion and The Mittani are very important to them.

Be real though Blawrf. It's only blackmail if you are ashamed of it. So what if Sion knows your fursuit tailor's address?

Nah, plenty of subcap warfare going on atm, although there might be a lull for a day or two -- we recently announced some doctrine tweaks and it'll take a few days for people to get their fits swapped over.

Basically, in lowsec, we get blueballed in EUTZ -- we've been knocking over towers in 200-man Rattlesnake fleets because they do the job well enough and are more inclusive than "let's get 5 dreads, everyone else in crappy support ships." In USTZ, we're about even on numbers with our enemies, and we've had a fair number of little skirmishes where both sides take roughly equal isk losses. Which is both fun, and good for us longterm since our SRP wallets are in far better shape than theirs are.

Question in the back of my head; traditionally, the "counter" to expensive battleship fleets is Alphafleet, which we tossed due to bombs. What's wrong with Alphafleet for the fight right now?

This seems like a good way to deplete the supply too so we can charge pubbies more for our excess rattlesnakes.
