Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them.

That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

hey
dont insult video games like that

To be fair I was shitting on bad translations, not games themselves

Edited 2018-02-03 05:49 (UTC)

still even games with bad translations turn out better than this shit

I suppose so...
At least games no matter how bad they are have cool powers or guns to fight SUBWAY VINES

id take a flamethrower if were facing vines, personally
no kill like overkill

Or freezing powers then shattering them

not quite as satisfying in my book
but i like your style

Fire is definitely a better way to go about it, but I just wanted to join in!

dont worry theres plenty of fire to go around

Uh

Not sure I like the sound of that

[Okay is he accidentally in a conversation with an arsonist right now?]

have you never played a game before?
pretty sure things spontaneously combust if you look at them hard enough

There's a lot of things I've been having to believe lately but starting things on fire by staring at them is a little too much

((oh no i thought i had replied to this. no hard feelings if you've dropped old threads haha))

video game logic never follows real life logic
im pretty sure 90% of the shit you do is impossible in reality

But we're not actually in a video game

[What are they even talking about anymore.]

of course not
id be a lot less skeptical of all of this if we were

So long answer short is you don't actually have an answer for me on what the hell is even going on

nope
not sure if anyone does honestly
this place is mostly full of cult talk but not a whole lot of explanations

!!!!

See I thought it sounded culty too!

with all the talk about souls and forced participation?
definitely

Yeah saving or rescuing souls or whatever! I've heard that a lot from glassy eyed people I tell you

people seem to eat it all up pretty easily
guess im just too much of a skeptic to fall for that sort of thing though

You'd think people in this day and age would have more sense but I guess skeptics are still the outliers

for some people its easier to just believe and not question things i guess

well I won't fall for it, no matter how many gifts they offer!

[Though after learning about getting gifts he is curious....]

im not sure they really give gifts exactly
they sent me a voodoo doll of what im assuming is myself
strikes me as more of a threat than an advertising strategy
