Nobu: North Vietnam

[Steven P Allen]

I'm glad I didn't rise to the level of recognition--it's a kind of left-handed recognition (apologies in advance to all lefties out there, but the wisdom is in the simile, and, if I touch it, the country's done).

Banshee One great thread!

I have one question.

Is Stuart Galbraith one of the following:

1. A robot?

2. Multiple people?

3. Drinking Waaaaaay to much coffee? 

I don't see how one person can post so much content!

2. only if they are clones

3. not enough caffeine in coffee

Its really quite simple, I work from home, so I always have Tanknet open on a page.

Although yes, Im also a robot from the future with an incredible physique, which also helps I guess.

Well after the year is done, there is clearly a need to correct predictions for reality. Thus:

- A random member starts a new topic.

- Rick asks a completely unrelated question from an ex-sailor's perspective.

- bojan makes an authoritative statement about obscure technical details.

- futon, Stuart and myself post walls of text to give what we mistake for the common Japanese, British and German view respectively.

- DB and sunday disagree with Stuart. DB also disagrees with sunday.

- Milo blames Trump.

- DKTanker blasts Milo for something he didn't actually write while also blasting Trump.

- Ivanhoe digs up a meme against Democrats from 1997.

- Der Zeitgeist posts a counter-meme.

- lucklucky blames cultural Marxism and cites several misleading media articles to accuse other media of misleading the public.

- Skywalkre posts a long rant about True Conservativism, and the failure of the American health and education systems. Stargrunt6 follows up with a complete non-sequitur.

- Simon Tan can't pop up, on account of being dead. However, there are two pages of discussion on the COVID thread whether he died of or with COVID, and how mask mandates and vaccinations are fascism.

- Ryan refutes a post from the first page with an entirely unconnected counter-example and multiple videos.

- Roman reminds everyone of something he said last year and posts a link as proof. He also blames Ukrainian Nazis who are really Russians, and the Appeasement of the West party in the Kremlin for not bringing them home to Russia.

- Every Eastern European and every other Nordic member blasts Roman. Sardaukar and Yama opine that Ukraine would have won the war by now with Finnish conscripts, but disagree on everything else.

- seahawk makes a fake Russian propaganda post. Half of the membership still doesn't realize he's trolling.

- Nobu states that Russia and Russians are interesting in various ways.

- Glenn makes a predictably wrong prediction. The rest of the TankNet Cartoon Lemming Brigade agrees.

- Josh, RETAC and Rich jump down Glenn's throat.

- MightyZuk makes a post on Ukraine, Israel and all the rest too clever for his own good. The entire TankNet Cartoon Lemming Brigade jumps down his throat.

- Colin, Ssnake and alejandro make good drama queen-less posts. Only angrybk cares.

- Stuart replies to everyone with more walls of text in several individual posts, claiming that the UK could single-handedly set the world right if it wasn't stabbed in the back all the time by clueless Americans, the perfidious French, and sundry other shifty continentals.

- Doug Richards isn't around, but there is still a multi-page exchange of inter-Commonwealth stereotypes by British, Canadian and Australian posters.

- Murph interjects a rant against Harry and Meghan, Prince Andrew and, for good measure, the Clintons. Then he posts a string of canned memes accusing political opponents of having no original thoughts before embarking on a slew of gross and funny stories from his Sheriff's Office days.

- bojan disagrees with Stuart because, Kosovo. sunday disagrees with every non-Catholic because, Judeo-Christian culture. futon disagrees with everyone because, Japanese imperialism. DKTanker disagrees with everyone, because.

- Multiple sub-discussions are branched off into their own threads.

- E5M proposes genocide as a solution to everything.

- Someone complains that the TankNet RoE are no longer being enforced.

- The thread is locked.

- One month later, Dawes starts a new thread on an incremental development of the original topic.

I'm sure there will be additional corrections ...

[Stuart Galbraith]

Probably no more Milo blaming Trump im afraid.

 

[BansheeOne]

I was noting he was absent for some time, but then showed up for about two weeks in August before dropping off the screen again. What happened?

[Stuart Galbraith]

I dont want to go into details because I think he wanted to keep it quiet. But he related that he hadnt been well, very unwell in fact, but that he believed he was on the way back up. I just hope its a temporary relapse, but well, its been some months hasnt it?

Come to that, we havent seen Doug in ages either. I had thought it was a his getting into an argument with a certain individual, but It seems rather longer than that.

[BansheeOne]

In fact I deleted Doug in the errata since I didn't see him all year, and you noted elsewhere someone might have run him off. I had to adapt continuity a little to paste it over.

Unfortunate about Milo, I hope he's alive and well and just decided he has better use for his time than contributing to the flavor of the TankNet FFZ.

[Stuart Galbraith]

Yeah I hope so, he is a pretty nice guy. Same both actually.

As for the rest, yeah, still right. Though Ive given up on wall of texts. There is only so much wisdom I can waste upon the world.
