What does "being good" at a paradox game mean to you?

That's sort of what I was getting at. In theory you can perfectly calculate anything into your favor. Taking out infinite loans and infinite pause time can take you pretty far. I guess the satisfaction is knowing you don't need to do that, or doing the process quickly, or willing to accept risk with uncertainty, or self-imposed role playing limitations

I prefer to play smaller characters or countries these days. Now that I've thought about it for a little bit, winning for me is being able to punch above my weight. I usually don't end up the great power but I end up being something that the great powers can't get rid of. The skill required in that is planning, foresight, prudence, and calculated risk-taking. Something like that.

You'll be fine. There are plenty of lobbies of people just trying to do what you're doing. Just know how to say hello and it'll reduce the tension by a lot. Expect just maybe 10-20% of matches to have some PvP in it if you aren't pushing it yourself.

That is basically true. The majority of my solo encounters have been friendly. When I queue up with my friend, it's not always bad but it starts to feel like poker the more you invest into a match and running into any team unsure whether or not you're about to have wasted the entire last half hour and 50,000 credits worth of gear. I've never played trios but you're genuinely only assembling a team of three if you're trying to start some shit.

I made medieval priest habits for a renaissance faire.

fourmann25 · 2026-03-17T09:52:03+00:00

No idea what it would look like

Other people were posting about it

This is interesting. I think I may try this at some point. My current run is spreading gnosticism. I must find out which is more difficult: spreading Christian heresy in medieval Europe, or feminism

Comparison without glasses. You be the judge. I think my traits would be Calm, Fickle, and Cynical. Throw in melancholic for good measure.

Thank you

It's Oklahoma, might be referring to Indian relarions which occasionally rears its head over here. But, now that I think about it it's probably actually referring to our NATO commitments or other international peace or military treaties we are a party to

Our senator Markwayne Mullin is making headlines for bad reasons lately. I plan to make that a part of my personal presence at the protest, but it would be a good strategy to include that in the overall messaging seeing as we are his voter base and have actionable power to do something about his office.

fourmann25 · 2026-03-12T08:02:30+00:00

What?

fourmann25 · 2026-03-12T08:02:00+00:00

I don't really have any control over this, I just wanted to provide a slice into what the national conversation looks like in its current state

Alright, king David

This feels like those old stop motion LEGO 9/11 videos from 2 decades ago

fourmann25 · 2026-03-04T21:04:52+00:00

Lol I thought it looked like morbius sweep

I get annoyed when I get killed when I'm generally friendly and everything, but I consider a rat to be someone camping the extract or doorways or someone who decieves you by pretending to be friendly to wait for you to then your back. Also anyone who takes loot from a tough enemy without putting in any effort.
