Custom user titles

I played Civilization before it was even a game. Or a board. Or the alphabet was discovered.

We had ceremonial burial and pottery, though. We weren't savages.

Those were civilizations for babbies. EASY MODE. Real empire-builders used lead aqueducts, fought barbarians and doesn't afraid of anything.

No way. Back then we actually had to work for our upgrades. Later on it was all consolized bullshit to make civilization "accessible" to new users and lazy casuals. We got by just fine without crutches like Animal Husbandry or Masonry. The introduction of Aqueducts was total bullshit and the biggest nerf ever. Access to water without even leaving your crude hide shelter? If that's not easy mode, I don't know what is.

Alt+R for good times.

Dude, you guys got the devs to give you manna from heaven in the OT version. After the patch, we had to make do with nothing but natural resources.

And yet again we see that there are no likes for the guy, that set up the joke.
Bastards.
(you have no right being more funny with my joke than me)

You're Scandinavian. There should be an "existential ennui" button for your posts.

Farming likes is just another little game we play because we are gamers and we like games. As someone who has internet-known you for many years and, along with most everyone else, only recently learned that you have felt comfortable enough with us to get a pretty big thing off your chest, I'm pretty OK with giving you game-likes and helping in some small way to contribute to your foolishness. Happy fool is best fool.

eta: I mention that big post because it's responsible for something like 7% of your current total likes, and I'd estimate at least 50% of your current total happiness with BF. Seems relevant. :)

LP Likes should be worth half of a like at most, maybe even a quarter-like. We could call them "Ikes". As in, "I just said, 'Boogers!' in my Godzilla Princess dating game LP and got eighty-four Ikes! That seemed low. :( :( :( :("

I'm so tempted to respond with a picture of me staring at the camera.

You can take my full-figured Likes for playing Wizardry 8 when you pry them from my cold, dead forumhands.

I would stand to lose as many as three likes from such a policy! So, uh, go ahead, I guess.

Guys, if you want more likes, the solution is simple! Randomly tag a forumer from the LP forum and they'll read the whole thread and like all of your posts. Easy as pie.

Warning: Said LPer may die of a mini panic attack from suddenly being summoned outside of the LP forum. Use this cheat code wisely and sparsely.

Average LPer liking habits:

Technically, that particular thread is most probably definitely an outlier.

I dunno, under the right circumstances I could like a particular tomato really hard.

Ugh. TMI.

Do not speak of that thread in polite company.

/sobs

And then lots of people were summoned to the Elemental Materials thread. Or the open letter thread. Or any Sanctorum thread. Ugly, Ugly, Ugly.

To be fair, I found some of those threads myself and liked quite a few of the posts there, so.

Salad! Delicious salad!

Wait, now someone is going to take that the wrong way too.

Hey, the judging is a two-way street, chief.

Also the link color is still a little off, just saying.

Well then, Mr. Fancypants.

Oh, I know. (Spoiler alert: I was there.) Thank you for your attempts to be helpful but you are totally ruining my trolling of the Lum.

I refuse to service Lum's Like-farming scheme. I'm onto you, you fluffy heretic.

Hmm.

Goddamnit.

Ah, so it comes to this. *peers at ruptured internal organs* I give over my inner mechanisms for the glory of Humor.

Ozzo, you over-achiever, you!
