Vlak Kantesk was elected today, only with a mere 3 percent higher vote than the second placed, John Vriktal.

The ones we spaired for questioning we will deport to you once we get everything we need out of them. They will be conditioned for laboring once were done with them so no need to worry about that part.

Following new legislation in Kathol Rift, Kathol Rift recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace.

You were right about one thing, Master. The negotiations were short.

Ah, a most effective tactic throughout history, like when the kaiser snatched Marx and made his double ganger praise capitalism. Such memorable moments.

So while I walked outside today, my brain decided to ask a very interesting question, motivated by me thinking of contact details for each ministry to lodge complaints and ask questions.
Would Cetiri have social media? If so, what would she post?

I'd see her as the female version of Putin honestly, and I don't think he uses social media.

He apparently doesn't have interest in social media, but he does have access to all the government social media pages, and therefore he technically has a twitter account for sure.

Still, she *wouldn't* use social media casually.

Probably not.
Certainly not like Nadia from Katrzynija.

Heh. To put it rather irreverently, Nadia is like Trump in her social media habits, and Cetiri is like Putin in her social media habits.

Except Nadia hasn't said any demonstrable falsehoods.
That seems fairly accurate. Though I would note that Cetiri does take an interest in public opinion, and would probably occasionally have the official government media accounts occasionally post Q&A posts.

"Option 1" is not a color at all. Nor is "Dragon". Nor is "Darth Maul". Nor is "Monke". Nor is the duck command. Jacey definitely came up with the clever answer here; in addition to being a color you can find on a pigeon, "chartreuse de pigeon" is a French dish. Hey, no wrong answers! It would have been hard to come up with one, though. It was actually generally better to have Tebeat lose this time if you didn't have the SHEEP already, as the median score was also the SHEEP, but I doubt Youttle is complaining. This didn't pan out well for Nub and Aesonicus, though.

Standings as of Round 10:

1st: Chi Messenger Services - 101

35th: Rose - 8
36th: Broadway - 6
37th: Conflux !pigeon edition - 1

No movement at the top, as everyone from El Mainframe Cosmico up got the SHEEP. Everyone below Longbowe is mathematically eliminated, though Conflux is back in the positives. Our best performance of the round by rank was Violet, whose SHEEP answer was good for 7 spots. Selina the Fancy Pigeon produced a singleton and dropped 9 (I always think that purple deserves more love, though). Next time: Old-timey stuff.

- No change at the top here. Follow along here -

Welcome to Think Stupid! This will be five concurrent games, all of which are played with one set of answers. They will be:

1. Highest scoring player
2. Highest scoring team (total of players' scores)
3. Highest score within each team (i.e. how you would do if your score was only compared to those of your team)
4. Most SHEEPy player (we'll get to that later, but it means highest number of SHEEP answers)
5. Most SHEEPy team (total SHEEP answers)

So, how does one play Think Stupid? At the bottom of this post will be a link to a Google form, which you will fill out according to an hono(u)r system. The goal is to answer the same way as your comrades, and particularly those in your team. You will receive a number of points equal to the number of people who answered the same as you for each question- provided the answer is incorrect (this is Think Stupid, NOT Think Same). The most popular (wrong) answer is called the SHEEP. Now, suppose you give a correct answer. You then receive negative points equivalent to the number of people who answered that correct answer. So, let's say six people are asked to name something that normally lives in the ocean. Three people say "Dog"; that is the SHEEP answer and they receive 3 points each. One person each respond with "cat" and "sycamore" and receive one point each. One person responds with "Shark" and receives -1 points for giving a correct answer. Each question works the same way.

The meme teams are back, but these are just for fun this time.  They are primarily used for the secondary games. There is a bonus, though- pick a question, and pick a number of pigeons from 1 to 20 for Tebeat to fight. If he wins (as determined by RNG in the roleplay channel on our Discord server), you get points equivalent to the number of pigeons he fought. If he loses, you get the median score instead of however many points you would have otherwise received for the question.

The hono(u)r code: By playing Think Stupid, you agree to not disclose your answers to any player save the organizer (Marinas Island) between the posting of this form and the closing of responses. You agree to bring any issues to the attention of the organizer as soon as you find them and not to challenge the outcome if you do not do so. You agree to only submit one set of answers. If you wish to dispute the ruling of an answer as correct/incorrect, you agree to bring it up with the organizer via forum PM, NS telegram, or Discord DM. If you want clarification on any question or to modify an existing answer, you agree to bring it to the attention of the organizer via forum PM, NS telegram, or Discord DM.

The game will begin in one week (7 days). The game can be found here:

Good luck~

I did imagine Cetiri scolding the staff responsible for the government media account though, because they try to do propaganda-ish stuff, and Cetiri doesn't like being built up to being bigger than she is.

Are you implying she's not actually 10 feet tall and impervious to bullets? Darn government social media account lying to the masses.

They genuinely once tried to edit together a bunch of clips showing her doing her usual firing range business with her PPSh-41, to make it seem like she was better at it than most of the military's own staff. Cetiri objected to it, and demanded that a disclaimer be put in saying that it was edited together for time constraints, and doesn't actually show Cetiri's skill truthfully.

The supreme decision goes to the Master Corporal-General. Right below are the three councils - total seats numbering to about 1.05K senators, representatives, and commanders - below is the Director of Organization who, despite being lower, actually has total control over the councils. Below is an overcomplicated network of departments, secretaries, and governors - the majority of which might be corrupt - that thankfully don’t control anything too important. I would go farther but at this point it’s too complex.

Funnily enough, I almost added "And able to shoot a fly's eye out at 200 yards" to the list of totally believable characteristics.

I did know a person who shot a fly at 30 yards one time, but beyond that point, I'm not sure it's legitimately possible.

It's probably only possible for a machine, not a human being. Especially not one working with a rifle using the height of 1941 technology.

Depends what you mean. If you mean what you're doing here on NS? Well. Answer issues, write factbooks, roleplay and interact with others, and so forth.

Even for a machine, I doubt it. There's simply too much time for the fly to be moving once you get past a cartoon distance, and at that point you'd only be able to hit it by the most infinitely tiny random chance that it strayed into the path of the bullet within that fraction of a second.
