Well yeah but

You get tto see that your death was the key to the entire world getting fucked, that MUST be invigorating

How does it feel, being the one thing keeping it all together? 😁

Take care of yourself! There's an interesting thing about games like this - noted frequently in eg the TV show Survivor - where getting cut off before the end can leave a real void. I hope that your transition back to civilian life goes smoothly. It was really fun playing with you.

Hang on wait what

There's a whole INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE FEUD PLOTLINE that I am COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF

This game might be too big

Before the game I thought I was going to be pushing armies around, making none of the mistakes my Cataphracts commanders keep making.

Then the game started, and my focus became just making money and sticking my flag out on the top 10.

As of this week I'm much more making fun storylines happen.

#over/under is:

* Very good
* Taking up a lot of my time
* More TTRPG than I expected, and less wargame
* A bit reminiscent of MUDs, and a bit reminiscent of very early blognomic
* Extremely ready to be adapted into a LARP
* Maybe the best game I've played this year so far

Seeing the after-action reports of the big Bratva ball in #over/under is making me temporarily sad that I joined the widely-reviled Stratemeyer!

But then I remember that I'm rich and it's all okay.

In my lifetime, there has only been one Labour Prime Minister who did not at some point have to sack Peter Mandelson.

Do you ever just think about how Candy Shop has been written out of the history of hiphop and get a bit mad about it

Ah, Wayward Cloud is such a great weird pick

That is great news!

Josh @aosher.bsky.social · Sep 5

Can you give some other examples in the genre?

Definitely an uptick, and reflective of the increased amount of coverage the race has got.

Josh @aosher.bsky.social · Sep 2

Turnout for leadership elections tends to be high; the cohort of people who join a political party tends to be highly committed and engaged.

A large chunk of the membership being insufficiently motivated to vote for the leader is a bad sign for them being motivated to knock on doors.

If one were being slightly snippy one might observe that a turnout of 38% is very low for a leadership election.

Labour 2020: 63%
Tories 2024: 73%
Lib Dems 2020: 57%

And all of those were sharply down, by 10-15%, from their immediate precursors.

Two months in and my game of Cataphracts is going strong. 15 Commanders, a lot of really dumb shit, but signs that players are starting to get it and are making big long-term strategic moves.

What we are struggling with is players. Vacancies keep cropping up and I have drained my pool. #cataphracts
