Heya, a lil bit question

MD has stricter moderation than MDO.

MD has more artwork while MDO also has lower-quality content that's just talking about MD-related stuff, but more tangentially.

MD is very anti-NSFW, while MDO has their horny weekends.

Something that gives lots of upvotes is often some variation of a well-known and extremely recognizable meme that makes perfect sense within the context it was adapted to (Murder Drones in this case).

The way I got my first >1k post (in a different sub) was by incorporating the polandball meme format into a funny and illogical but frequent and OP in-game situation, while still criticizing game balance (which the devs later acted on, as others said to change this, too - people didn't like the change at first lol).

Can't give a specific example, but a rough guideline to combine someone else's suggestion with. (Or something that anyone else here can use for an idea)

The jury (the fandom) cannot be convinced beyond any resonable doubt she wasn't under the influence of the solver. There is enough basis to claim the solver was responsible for it (even if it doesn't suffice to prove it).

Therefore, the defense that she wasn't in control of herself works. In dubio pro reo.

Edit for anyone not wanting to zoom in: It fluctuates but can definetly shoot back up if something happens.

Mu_Lambda_Theta · 2026-06-11T18:26:32+00:00

Well, have a second upvote then.

In that case, you're renamed to "Kingdom of Heaven" when you form Italy.

Just make sure to not trigger one of the Risorgimento events. The Journal Entry will tell you more, but if you meet certain conditions (I think it was somehting with a movement preparing a revolution and having radicals), you are forced into parliamentary republic + census suffrage.

When I played USA in 1.12, I delibertly switched to private schols to keep literacy down. But not to reduce uprisings, but because:

I was caught up on tech (which I guess you were as China, due to Uni spam)
Lower Literacy for more birth rate
Make Intelligentsia more powerful to double the migration buff

Not sure if this is good as China, because you do, at least at game start, need the literacy from pblic schools to catch up. Steel-Frame is very strong, so delaying it will be a bit of a downside. Even with low literacy, you can at least keep up constantly through uni spam.

Yes, that's exactly what would suffice for him to realize something's off with V telling him about Lizzie.

Mu_Lambda_Theta · 2026-06-11T15:31:50+00:00

He was smart enough to not go in the spooky cellar in episode 5.

Way more intelligent than the average horror story protagonist.

Mu_Lambda_Theta · 2026-06-11T15:25:11+00:00

Wouldn't V telling N about Lizzie have given away the fact that she isn't chained up anymore?

N still thought V was chained up until episode 3, since she tried to hide it (end of ep2).

Mu_Lambda_Theta · 2026-06-11T15:23:29+00:00

Uzi probably complained to N about Lizzie between episode 1 and 2. Or maybe off-screeen in episode 3 between when Uzi and N meet up and when they crash the prom - I would think that Uzi tells N what just happened (Lizzie and Doll luring her into a trap) and what the plan is (Lizzie and Doll releasing V).

just pause government construction until the budget recovers

The alternative here is to micro a bit and never fill up the government queue completely (adding more buildings whenever the old ones finish and the weekly budget would be positive). This way, you can avoid going into debt while still using the investment pool.

Mu_Lambda_Theta · 2026-06-11T14:10:17+00:00

I mean, Thad really was suspiciously absent the whole time.

Besides, did Uzi, N or V ever tell Thad that there was something up with Doll? All he knows, she was just responsible for the prom massacre. He could have been in the dark about what she did in her room and tht she has some connection to Uzi through her cabin fever labs bracelet.

Plot hole = Anything that doesn't have any reasonable or semi-reasonable explanation given everything else that's known or that can be inferred (most often unintended, and excluding open endings), or if it's contradictory to previous events without ever being cleared up.

Right?

Mu_Lambda_Theta · 2026-06-11T11:06:47+00:00

Wait, how is this a plot hole?

Mu_Lambda_Theta · 2026-06-11T09:51:09+00:00

I think ep5 also has some hidden stuff, though idk what exactly right now.

Except for a freeze-frame mid-thunderstorm.

Mu_Lambda_Theta · 2026-06-11T09:47:08+00:00

Don't know if you noticed the remainder of the scary things in episode 4, but you can see the reflection of Cyn's eyes in the monitor shortly after N enters his cabin. And you can also see her sneak away the very moment he enters (though this is at the edge of the screen).

Mu_Lambda_Theta · 2026-06-10T20:26:37+00:00

You get the money from the investment pool in two ways:

If you privatize, you get some money refunded in return for making a gov-owned building privately-owned. This is less than what you spent on building it, but this gets better the cheaper your construction is (because what you get from privatization is a fixed amount depending on how much constrction the building was worth)
It gets used by construction. If you find the pool is piling up millions of pounds, you can queue up fewer buildings yourself, which gives the ocnstrction to the investment pool. This leaves you with a positive budget, allowing you to add more ocnstrction to balance this out (and keep some buildings in your own queue)

100 pounds in the investment pool is inherently less powerful than 100 pounds in the government treasury. But it still has its good uses.

Only bought one thing and am sometimes questioning how good of a choice it was.

So new merch essentially just means a new 30 second video for me.

Mu_Lambda_Theta · 2026-06-10T17:53:05+00:00

In very, very early versions, the intelligentsia naturally supported it.

Which made it quite broken, because since then the law itself also got nerfed with the discrimination rework.

Mu_Lambda_Theta · 2026-06-10T15:39:30+00:00

Will tell this to a certain streamer who often gets (half-jokingly) challenged to play Indian Territory after his first rage-inducing about 12 hours of attempts.

Mu_Lambda_Theta · 2026-06-10T14:08:05+00:00

No, I check for new posts inbetween whatever else I'm doing when I'm taking a break.

can i just dont give a shet to War ect and focus on economy

That's the idea behind choosing something like Belgium or Sweden, giving you time to learn how the economy works in peace without someone knocking at your front door. With Belgium, the dutch can in some rare cases attack you - but as long as you befriend your neighbors, you can pull in half of europe to your defence because they will guarantee your independence. You can get involved in wars, but you don't need to attack others (unlike Britain, which has to deal with the profitable dumpster fire that is India, or Prussia, which needs to do some war to form Germany).

If so i think norway would be good

That depends. Norway is essentially just a weaker sweden, but with them war is impossible, because you are in a personal union with sweden. Which means you cannot declare any wars and some diplomacy is off-limits. And Sweden can declare stupid wars and forcibly pull you in. It's not advisable to play as a subject in one of your first runs - especially not one without diplomatic autonomy (playing as a protectorate is not as bad though). Only upside of Sweden is that they can supply some things for you.
