100 MORE TO GO

In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards.

Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will.

Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect.

However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps.

Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection.

All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever.

Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed.

Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable.

Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average.

Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule.

Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed.

The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

The new hanger tools are magnificent works of incompetence. I watched a streamer walk around for minutes trying to figure out which of the identical tiny blue-green dots scattered around the floor spawns the ship he actually wanted, and it takes precisely zero thought at all to conclude that this UI is going to be a huge pain in the rear end for big ships and for spots high up on ships. At any ordinary place a UI this atrocious wouldn't ever even be conceived yet alone have any time spent actually making the lovely thing. It's that dedication to making sure every patch is full of features that are horrible in conception and broken in implementation that truly makes CIG something special.

not caught up with the thread just yet, but just wanted to share a weird dream i had with you

bootcha wasn't posting in this thread because he found the teeth of a half-human, half-shark hybrid that was potentially involved in a murder (hey, due process). and because of this he was travelling up and down the east coast trying to find a police precinct whose forensics lab wasn't inept and/or corrupt, since several so far had ruined the samples they were given (which made them turn orange and crumple apart) and he only had so many teeth as evidence.

that's all i remember and it's apropos of nothing besides involving bootcha and sharks i suppose, even if they're bizarre shark-people

ok bye

I too have had SC dreams.

Once I dreamed that I was meeting up with the Descent Underground guys at a hotel bar, and EP was bemoaning that his guys were getting poached by SC. So I came up with the idea that "Hey, we should fight them for the dudes", and then we agreed to a hockey game: Winner gets the dudes. I skated out and checked CR into the boards, and scored on Dan Tracey in net. I think Sandi was yelling at all of us from the bench.

Then I woke up.

That's a pretty awesome SC dream Bootcha. I imagine Sandi has done her share of yelling about you. Any employee who wants to keep their job probably had to delete "Smoke Weed Everyday" from their desktop playlists. It's a trigger song now.

I have Star Citizen dreams occasionally too but they're more mundane.

Recently I woke up flustered, certain that I'd posted something before I fell asleep that I've been secretly thinking awhile but would never write up in the thread. (Yes, for all the typing I do, there's much I don't write...) So I grabbed my phone, racing to delete it -- then saw a bunch of Mr Tophat silliness or MOMA noise and realized I didn't post anything. It was a huge relief.
Don't you realize what you all are saying? If you are having dreams about Star Citizen, that means Chris Roberts has won (remember the whiteboard?)

It's too bad memory-erasing technology has not been put into practice, yet. But perhaps there is still hope for you.

It's weird. They think it's a war with sides or something instead of a bunch of assholes making fun of a stupid game and its fans. There's no war. Just laughing at stupid things that don't matter.

CIG's attempt to rally the troops around the idea that there are outside forces conspiring against the game for nefarious reasons is surprisingly successful. The only "war" should be between consumers and the companies that serve them. CIG doesn't give a poo poo about you. They just want their money. This isn't about some huge rally to save PC gaming or prove the "haters" wrong. It's about a company making money.

It's just a game. Chill out. E stalking d smart is the definition of caring about Internet bullshit too much.

2. a hotel employee whose job is to assist guests by booking tours, making theatre and restaurant reservations, etc

So if I back SC for more than $1000 I get to be the caretaker of a fooking block of flats??
