Just look at the facts, broflation is real

[BlackAdderBG]

If you don't vote for the Brofist bill ,on monday the sky will fall ,the market will fall 2-3k points and some of the staff will threaten with martial law.

Broflation is a sign of a growing broconomy. It's a good thing, normally.

I'd be more worried about the underlying fundamentals of posting volume.

Clearly there's a downside trend here. Posting volume is well below its 30DMA after breaking support on April 11th. Posting itself has peaked. Posting volume is fundamental to all valuations on the CODEX post exchange, the same way that the price of Brent crude oil underpins the MICEX amd BOVESPA. It's not just brofists being overvalued. It's everything.

Everything traded on the CODEX currently is in danger of a significant correction: brofists, cat pictures, image macros, shit posts, and with the banning of Irenaeus, now even high-quality posts and shoutbox archives are facing signficant headwinds. Without more H1B visas for immigrants from RPGWatch and other third-world shitholes, this entire broconomy is in danger of a deflationary death spiral as the demographic trends among old posters of getting real lives, banning and bunkering all continue.

In order to preserve my brofist ratios--and to lose my undead pallor--I'm taking to heart the old adage, "brofist in May and go away." See you chumps in November after the entire CODEX market suffers a 80% correction.

Fiat bet-backed brofist currency is worthless and guaranteed to collapse sooner or later. Only believe in hard, post-backed brofist. The Codex lost all its post reserves a long time ago, nowadays they only have cheap Chinese spam messages painted over to resemble actual posts at a casual glance.

True, but also my life is shit. It's terrible, and I hate it. My life is abysmal, and I hate everything about it. I seek death. My thanatos urge is powerful. Carl Jung was right, and so was his friend Freud, about my small penis and the fact that I want to die.

If ya seeking fists, atleast repurpose it.

 

[Jick Magger]

It is scarcely possible that the eyes of contemporaries should discover in the public felicity the latent causes of decay and corruption. This long peace, and the uniform government of the Codex, introduced a slow and secret poison into the vitals of the forum. The minds of men were gradually reduced to the same level, the fire of genius was extinguished, and even the Prosperian spirit evaporated.' Now that no debates what is an RPG, the public has long since cast off its cares; the people that once bestowed tags, self-ejections, polls and all else, now meddles no more and longs eagerly for just two things; Brofists and Drama!

[Transfiguring Roar]

I submit that the increase in brofists is because we are finally breaking past our physical bodies and egos to become one self-congratulatory consciousness.

We have a new direction, a purpose, to fist ourself to kingdom come. We need to develop a new technology that will globally follow brofists on this site. Whenever someone administers a brofist, the new tech/hardware will give our physical bodies a jolt of pleasure.

Excelsior!

 

[Tigranes]

When will the Codex Derivatives Market open? I would like to sell my projected future brofist earning capacity to other intrepid members for a price of brofists determined by the real-time market.

 

[Sensuki]

That looks like it coincides with the release date of Pillars of Eternity. The rise = hype. The drop = "damn it sucks".

This cannot stand. Eternal growth is not possible. Earth's bits and bytes are limited.
The market needs to be regulated so people like Scrooge don't take over power completely. The administration is already in her pocket. She was made a mod without any democratic legitimation. Since then, we the people, have suffered under her cronyism while she has been increasing her brofists ever faster and faster. But she is just a symptom. Simply watchwizing her or hanging her from the next streetlight - while possibly entertaining - would not change the underlying problem, would not change the system.

Since there is no democratically acceptable alternative system (yet), I suggest following regulations:

• Deactivation of brofists in GD. It's a virtual market that has no impact on the real enonomy. It's a cesspool for gamblers that lives off of the hard work of real discussions.
• Introduce anti-brofists that reduce brofist-count if given. This will quickly curb the inflation. I suggest the name kick in the nuts(?)

Of course the real reason for the inflation is that Ireanus "acquired" a new account.

The brofist inflation can be countered by more shit posting.

Currently the ratio of brofists to posts is too wide. To get a closer 1-1 ratio, we need more shitposting.

People with the highest amounts of brofists must shitpost more to compensate.

So was this your first shitpost Mr 12K brofists?

I propose that we disable brofists in Prosperland and use that to shitpost our way out of broflation.

Thanks to ERYFKRAD, every post is a brofist harvesting scheme.

Personally I think it's a double scheme. I think ERYFKRAD remembers how anuspoundingman was rewarded in that one thread. Hundreds upon hundreds of brofists in one fell swoop. It's a trap! Increase the defense budget!!

Either the brofist system will collapse or there will be a World Fist War 3 with much purging.

Either way much drama will ensue, grab your popcorn.

No, you think wrong. Ask not who will fist you today, ask instead whom will you fist.

I like to think the tip of the sword is bloody because of all the anuses it's been into

I thought ERYFKRAD and I had something special... Then it turned out he fists everyone, the fist slut.

I've been keeping a healthy balance of normal post and shitposts to control my own brofist inflation.

Some of us posters ARE responsible posters, not greedily trying to game the system.

Brofist inflation is a serious threat to the Fistian economy. But all of these suggestions would only serve to increase the number of secret fistings behind closed doors in order to reap the rewards or allay the costs of the new Anti-Fisting regimen. For, as long as people can create fists themselves at no cost, then any additional pressure on fistings (whether positive or negative) will simply cause people to fist more.

To actually allay the number of fistings, each fist must cost the fister something of themselves. Only when such pain is involved will the number of fistings abate. I suggest Fisting DLC... 1c gets you one fist to bro with. $1 gets you 101. $10 (BEST DEAL!) gets you 1250.

Or, counter proposal, introduce the Hitlerfist at a reasonable price of 10c each. The Hitlerfist is the anti-fist. Every Hitlerfisting is so powerful it destroys 10 brofists of the target of the Hitlerfisting. And with the introduction of Hitlerfisting, a war against brofists would begin, with opposing political and social groups Hitlerfisting each other all across the Codex, until all of the brofists were gone. All while the Codex staff sits in the background, profiting. (And then, later, even when there are sudden rises in brofistings, the staff won't care, since it will mean a concurrent rise in sales of Hitlerfists.)
