The Recreation Commons part 2

[Method]

i'll think twice about ordering food from here now

[Kassiopeia]

Gross.

I'm a bit more stable today. So, Lemmy, now you think you'd have use for my legal advice, but only after you've been convicted? Er, why get convicted in the first place?

[Frankychan]

Kass-

After the political takeover by Pro-Hive sympathizers, we will see great changes in the regulation of eating conditions here at this facility.

Firaxis est une compagnie que j'ai fondée avec quelques amis.
L'idée était de revenir à quelque chose de petit. Lorsque Microprose
a démarré, c'était une petite compagnie, et c'était très amusant. En
dix ou douze ans, elle a pris de plus en plus d'importance et à
partir d'un certain moment, il devenait temps de revenir à un environnement
beaucoup plus petit, sans les pressions et les problèmes financiers
d'une grosse compagnie. En gros, le moment était idéal pour créer une
petite société et pour ne plus s'occuper que de jeux.

[Archaic]

/me yawns.

I found that the day I bought the game. Shall I add unobservant to your list of titles?

Look at "Brian" also.

[FlameFlash]

Grrr...

Anyway... any interesting debates going on anywhere outside of the NGOs?

[Pandemoniak]

Shall we send Archaic to exile ?
Shall we declare xenobrew a free right accessible to any citizen aged 12 or more, without any mikrocre' to spend ?
Shall we ask Maniac to at least clean the toilets of the Rec Commons ?

etc...

[Kassiopeia]

Maniac should really do something about the restroom. I think the green thing growing behind the urinals that I saw three weeks ago is going to reach sentience and try to overthrow Mankind soon.

[Lemmy]

You mean this green thing -> ?

[Kassiopeia]

Er, good call, but the green thing has probably grown teeth and tentacles by now. Many tentacles. Though I wonder why, since the local population of Japanese schoolgirls is... well, nonexistant.

[FlameFlash]

They're attacking!

Run for your lives!



And the band plays on...



But seriously, are there any social situations going on right now we should be aware of and complain about?

Also, where in the world is the Rec Commons located in the faction? New Apolyton? UN Pizza Delivery? Where?

[Kassiopeia]

The RecCommons are hopefully in NeoApolyton since I live there. Wouldn't mind moving to Zanarkand Gate or ThisBaseIsbElongToUs, though.
