badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

The Desolator is an ~~Soviet~~ Amerikan unit in Red Alert 2. Created in honour of the only fucking country to use nuclear weapons, on a civilian population, despite the enemy being desperate to surrender. Amerika was also the only country to use biological weapons. Red Alert makes sure that the Western player understands the nuance of history by keeping all the Soviet units to be cool and decent. The Soviet special weapon is called "Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance" and isn't named something that a racist war criminal aristocrat made up to demonise the victor against the Nazis.

Other countries are limited by the Geneva Convention on using weapons so deadly to civilians. The only exception is Britain's Poison Gas Aerial Bombardment.

Will it be a silent spring though?

Scorched Earth, as Amerikan military tactics tend to go

Man, I remember loving the Desolator units as a kid. Their little pieces of dialogue were so badass

If you micro'd them right, you could fuck up your opponents' entire army.
