Decline 13: Temporary Subtitle

[sqeecoo]

Is there such a thing as self-butthurt Anhur? I'm not sure your rating makes sense.

 

[Zibniyat]

My rating makes sense because whether I'm butthurt or not (and I've already stated that I am) has little to do with whether you're butthurt also (and it's obvious you are).

Butthurt is what unites us as Dominions players.

 

[sqeecoo]

Wait, hold on. What is the definition of butthurt? I thought it meant something like being unjustifiably salty/sulky/angry towards your opponents about loosing or somesuch. Ragequitting a game/conversation being a perfect example. I'm angry at my own dumb mistake but not at anyone else, and not sulky or anything. Does that still qualify as butthurt? I'm genuinely interested.

 

[Zibniyat]

Ragequitting a game? Never done that. I've always played till my last man standing or until I just get bored wasting my effort "stalling" my enemies' advancement (which is not the case in this game, here I love it). Ragequitting a conversation? Never done that as well. Just because I rarely use smilies, have "serious" tone in my messages, and don't like wasting effort on meaningless "deals" you've offered in no way implies I "ragequitted" anything.

This is only a fucking game. I have "serious" tone because that is who I am, not because the situation is oh so butthurt-inducing. Etc. Don't feel like giving more explanations to already unneeded and useless one given right now.

 

[sqeecoo]

No no bro, I'm not calling you butthurt at all (never said that), I'm trying to understand what the word means to most people and whether it can be applied to people mad at their own mistakes.

(I love pointless conversations :D )

 

[thesheeep]

You are butthurt when someone f*cked you in the rear and you are upset about it. Metaphorically speaking. Usually.
In this case, you did that yourself.
Hence you are butthurt.

 

[Zibniyat]

Butthurt means that your butt is hurt (this is a joke). Whether someone hit you in the butt, or - as in your example - you kicked yourself (quite a feat if I may say...), or both (which is the reality here), is of secondary importance. The important thing is that you feel some anger because things haven't played according to your wishes - towards yourself or others, it does not matter.

 

[sqeecoo]

I see, thank you. I will bow to the majority opinion, of course, but I always saw butthurt as having an active social component. Being sulky or angry towards someone else, stopping talking to them or such. Unfortunately, it's very hard to stop talking to yourself or shun your own company.

Hey I staled twice in a row, how about that.

 

[hoverdog]

I could use a few hours more for this turn. sqeecoo

 

[Harpsichord]

I played the turn but forgot to send it, god fucking dammit.

 

[thesheeep]

Good to see that our new R'lyeh player upholds traditions.

 

[hoverdog]

these turn times are so long, I forget to do and send my turn before it's too late

 

[sqeecoo]

Sorry guys, I went for a small trip and though I would be able to play a turn on the road with no extensions, but I just haven't found the time. I apologize, I'll be back tomorrow and do it then fo sho.

 

[sqeecoo]

I'm very very sorry, I've only just arrived and I'm too tired to play/type rationally, I'll have to push it off to tomorrow. I truly apologize bros.

 

[Eadee]

Playing rationally is overrated. Get some sleep, then get drunk, then play your turn.

 

[thesheeep]

I don't need to get drunk to play irrationally.

 

[Eadee]

You're a sheep....




A sheep playing strategy games... that's nuts!

Right Boo?

 

[Dayyālu]

I don't need to get drunk to play irrationally.

I swear I always believed I was the only one playing Dominions sober. I swear.

A sheep playing strategy games... that's nuts!

 

[mondblut]

I don't need to get drunk to play irrationally.

I swear I always believed I was the only one playing Dominions sober. I swear.

The thought that I have to do and submit a turn always make me reach for a bottle in despair

DeclineNow was the only one I was generally happy playing

Bandar Log's ministry of truth has revealed the new top in academic excellence.

Spoiler

Ulm and Mictlan have serious research advantages. Yawzors.

The ministry also warns everyone to be carfeull of the sea-jews.

 

[Zibniyat]

R'lyeh should be set to AI or another sub found. Letting others just easily pick appart R'lyeh ruins the balance of powers. Why do I care? I don't, but I can never watch such sleazy injustice being committed!

 

[mondblut]

What is that R'Lyeh ancient kraken parked atop Pelagian capital since forever? Is R'Lyeh about to have the entire UW for itself all while stalling non-stop?

 

[KoolNoodles]

Can I get a 24hr extension plz thanks. Holiday travel.
