In these dark times it's important we come together and start beating the poo poo out of each other in the Arena, for some reason

Look, do you guys want to throw children into that generator, do you want to work people to death, or do you want to go a few rounds shirtless in

You can't even build a pub until you do it! What kind of Englishmen don't have a pub?

See, you type this, and I get concerned

If it's the post apocalypse and you have time to maintain the appearance of things, and they are "pristine", that's suspicious AF.

Pub it up

Maybe it's the kind of apocalypse where the rest of the world is perfectly fine

If they had built a pub and a fight club sooner they'd probably have been fine

Let's go with Order but hope it's not all bullshit 80s British fascist options that we all know it's definitely just going to be

See? It's not that bad, everyone's just whining. They should have built up their fortitude in the arenas that appear to still be online if I'm looking at those screenshots correctly

I've been following the games industry for over three decades and I can't think of anything that's as much of an apocalypse simulator as this game, Missile Command was grim and gave the developer nightmares but you don't get updates of people working themselves to death keeping the missile batteries running and the whole thing is brief.

DEFCON is pretty close, except it's technically possible to "win" if you get lucky lol. As the megadeaths rise the somber music fades out to geiger counters and sobbing. Make sure to play in real time so you can realize that you're not shooting that ICBM down and Chicago is doomed in thirty minutes!

im posting picture this: a militia man, squaring up to the colossal head. the militia man is wiry, energetic, itching for a fight. he's probably in his early twenties, and still figuring out what kind of man he is and his place in the world. the colossal head is a giant stone head. it weighs like 20 tons. it's over 2000 years old and it doesn't do anything at all. the militia man winds up-- and he punches the stone head. he punches it hard. i mean, this guy, he gives it everything, he gives it everything he's got. as his fist connects with the stony surface of the colossal head, his hand instantly shatters into a hundred pieces. you can really hear it too, as it breaks into bits. it's this wet crunching noise. the militia man himself, he doesn't scream or cry anything, he just makes this really sad sound. it's not quite a wheeze and it's not quite a whine. it's like when you step on an old balloon. just this weird kind of drawn-out squeak from somewhere in his throat. and then he just falls to his knees. what's the moral of the story? there's isn't a moral to the story. the guy just smashed his hand to pieces. there isn't a moral. it's not--it isn't that kind of story. listen, i'm done talking here. i'm done talking. just, get out of here. get out of my face already. we're done here.

Prisons are ok, people will actually ASK you to pass the prison law during the londoners arc.


Realistically in the game the law itself is just in practicality a drunk tank, people get thrown in for a few days to cool their heels and clear their heads then go back out.

I think part of the problem is that the game is measured in days and not weeks, and the city is hundreds of people. The latter makes sense because it'd get a little awkward wrangling thousands in this sort of game and also, how did tens of thousands of people actually get up there, but the former is total nonsense. The escalation from "we need order to give purpose to our lives so we don't kill ourselves" to "I'm Mega Stalin now" is like a week lmao. Pretty impressive building all those mines that fast though

What the hell guys.
