Inverted Offensive Battle: Acupuncture Attacks Convert To 3D Penetration Tactics Taking Advantage of Deep Battle Opportunities
IK EDIT: Looks like this OP somehow left out the most important thread rule, which is -- do not do bloodlust and do not post graphic death/violence in this thread. There is plenty of horrible content about this war on nearly every form of social media and news; there is no need to curate it in this thread, period. If you post something that other posters feel crossed the line, do not argue, do not double down even if you don't personally agree. Just stop doing it and move on.

Welcome to the CSPAM Ukraine/Russia War thread! We’re delighted that you have decided to shitpost with us about the ongoing conflict that well may lead to the extinction of all life on Earth. Here are a few things you should know before you make the horrible, horrible mistake of posting here:

  • 1.a.a -- Do not personally blow up the Nova Kakhovka dam.

  • 1.a.b -- Do not nuke England. (based on in-thread feedback, this rule has been stricken. Nuking England is now encouraged)

  • 8===1.D -- stfu enjoy

  • :siren:If you haven't already, read Jeffrey and Azathoth's posts in the QCS thread.:siren: I would not advise reading the rest of the thread; it starts off good and then veers off into a shitshow, but it's your eyes and brain, I can't stop you.

  • All the usual CSPAM rules apply ITT.

  • This is a CSPAM THREAD about the war in Ukraine (and, more broadly, former Soviet Union stuff). While people are welcome and even encouraged to post long, thoughtful effortposts about the conflict, they should not expect effort to necessarily be met with effort. Nor should they expect the level of decorum that they’d usually see in a DnD thread. So you may be called names, have your posts met with “tl;dr,” or be outright ignored (the worst of all possible fates). If you can handle that and still think posting here would be fun, then you’re welcome, and I'm sorry that whatever happened to you early in life made you this way! You're in good company, though!


  • :siren:We will not allow posting about the GBS, DnD, GIP, YOSPOS, or other U/R threads on the Something Awful Forums.:siren: Going forward, complaining about the other threads’ posters or mods will earn you some time off, the amount of time depending on how annoyingly you do it and what your rap sheet looks like.

  • Conversely, do not come into this thread accusing its regulars of being Nazis, tankies, genocide apologists, or anything like that. If there are any posts you find particularly offensive, report them and/or PM me or another mod/admin. We will take your complaints seriously.

  • :siren:There is also going to be an indefinite moratorium on SYQs from other posters on the forums.:siren: SYQs sourced from Reddit, Twitter, or anywhere else that’s not the Something Awful Forums are still fair game.

  • As was the case with this thread’s previous incarnation, we do not allow any bloodlust here. Don't call for the deaths of civilians, don't sound off about a massacre or a bombing being a false flag unless you have proof, don't post gore, do not try to justify or minimize Russia's outright kidnapping of Ukrainian children, etc etc. mlmp08 is no longer allowed to be a whiny bitch itt. The previous thread got a lot better about this in its last several months, and I appreciate it immensely. Unfortunately, a handful of CSPAM regulars in QCS really hosed the pooch and that's why they got banned. So let's make this thread more like the old thread in its final months and less like the QCS thread.

  • Do not post anything bigoted towards any ethnicity ITT. That includes Ukrainians, Russians, Roma, Jews, etc, etc. If you want to talk about the far right in Ukraine, talk about the far right in Ukraine; don't say, "Ukrainians are all Nazis" or anything like that.

:siren:Here are some anonymized examples of how not to post. Consider this a row of heads on spikes, with a big banner over them that reads "DO NOT POST LIKE THIS!":

quote:

even calling it the holodomor without ironic quotes is pretty offensive and platforms nazis tbh

quote:

This is the fundamental imbalance. I read a post like "Russia is kidnapping children" and I think that poster is dumb or has been lied to. I post "I think the US shouldn't give war materiel to Ukraine" and people post that I'm a Russian plant here to subvert their holy posting battlefield and for that I should die.

quote:

Russian war crimes are as real as the Ghost of Kiev

quote:

D&D is the nazi forum, for nazis, run by nazis.

quote:

It is really too bad that the president of their home country deliberately exposed them to danger by not telling the parents to leave with their children (or warning anyone) despite knowing of the invasion in advance. Ah well, nevertheless :pressf:

If you would like to complain about any of this, you can PM me or one of the other mods/admins, but we're not going to allow meta discussions ITT for now. Keep it strictly to discussions about the war and related geopolitical issues.

If any of this makes you feel like you don't want to post in this incarnation of the thread, I'm sorry to hear that but I understand. No hard feelings on my end.

Here’s the link to the old thread.

If anyone wants to highlight any of the best posts from the previous thread, or has helpful links that they would like to highlight, let me know and I’ll add them in a post below.

Goddamn I was worried I'd never be able to hug or kiss Putin or deny genocides again

Did Ukraine invade Kherson when Russia was weakest (without our support obviously)?

Editing to say this is extremely tongue in cheek just in case but this thread is the source of all my news/propaganda so were there any movements actually?
