I love that little thing on the right that randomly shows old posts other wise I’d never have seen this.

I remember playing this game a while back after getting hooked on DF. I loved it but was horrible at it :P I got about 20 followers by turning them into sex slaves (naming them sex slave 1 – 20) and ended up turning into some sort of horrible Charles Manson like cult. The police of stormed our compound and killeD EVERYONE it was horrible :(

Hah, great stuff. I have to say it’s now awfully tempting to dive in and have a mess around with this at the weekend.

I’m wondering, if we’re all now filed in some governmental terrorist data base…

Anyway, took a quick dive into the game last evening, had some fun at character creation (I was a bit disturbed by the questions and answers though.. some of them were spot on regarding my own teenage years – I’m such a clichè) and then promptly managed to crash the game by hitting one of the cursor keys. Maybe I should have at least peeked into the manual.

Somehow this reminds me of my own, very short love affair with our local Antifa group. Signed up because of the girls and the thrillls, noticed that there was too much reading and talking about boring stuff and not enough getting laid by hot punk chicks and heroically fighting evil Nazis. So I just quit and went back to playing Warcraft2.

But I won’t let the cause down this time! I’ll read the manual when I get home and give it a new try! Beware, evildoers, beware!

Like I said, not that hard to learn to play. Pretty darn hard to learn to play well.

I raise my fist skyward in dual symbolism.

As defiance against The Man’s insidious regime and in salute to my stubble-wielding, knitwear-sporting brethren.

Excellent game, got a few friends who may just be snapped out of their post-university politics malaise by this.

I think it’s a game that kind of suits diving in, having a fuck around, and then leaving it. It’s not a Dwarf Fortress thing which will absorb you forever, but you could do worse than having a couple of hours in its presence. And – y’know – Terrorism!

Well, much worse things happened to Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhoff, so I guess you aren’t doing too bad there.

Thanks for the great write ups, by the way. You’ve really managed to get me interested in this game and that’s saying a lot, because somewhere along the road I’ve turned into a graphics whore. Probably around the same time I decided, that I was too old to be a revolutionary.

If I turn into a left wing terrorist at some point in the near future, you’ll be responsible for it!

Which of our alter-egos would most likely run a terrorist organisation?

“Alec Furious has dates to manage.” Definitely not my alter-ego, then, despite the name-theft.
