Plagued /r/TNOmod and the Reddit HOI4 modding community - When a subreddit for a video game mod turns to utter insanity

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Incredible, the TNO team has cocked up the mod so hard that it's impressive. They could have sat around huffing baking soda and glass for 3 years and their reputation would be infinitely better, to say nothing of the mod's quality. Their collective pride has somehow eclipsed that of the delusional egomaniac that preceded them.

Bravo, brava, and encore. I hope you all enjoy what time you have left in the spotlight, because even this meager pitiful niche will eventually fade away. For your sake, I pray no one remembers your embarrassing online behavior. Hurry up and get off discord, take off the skirt, drink some water, and start living. You can't run forever.
 
Might as well post some gems from the thread since I have them open. Here are some devs complaining on Twitter about people liking the old schizo content more than their reworks. Gee, wonder why it's getting reworked?

What was panzer's plan for Yockey?
I posted it here before but essentially it was a Palpatine-esque way of slowly chipping away at American institutions to make fascism homegrown. Essentially if you are a retard and try to be a dictator on day one you will fail horribly and just be seen as a more incompetent Wallace that liked the Germans more. However, if you play it smart by slowly introducing bills that seem good on paper but have hidden agendas in them you can expand your powers and those of your lackeys.

Starts with stuff like the SAFE act teased in his current teaser tree, where it involves a lot of things but the main thing is it says you are protecting culture and enhancing culture in the arts while the fine print actually says the government can start to censor journos it does not like. As you go on its about Yockey reviving American jingoism while using Japanese ports and yellow peril to win support for his cause. Eventually reaching him running for a third term since in that universe FDR was not president (this is really old TNO where Joe Kennedy was president instead). Once you get to his third term is where the mask comes off and Yockey starts to outright make America fascist.

Its sort of a mix of a white nationalist IRL Russia in that voting still happens but even with the obvious cheating Yockey does not really need to do it anymore as the public has gotten so used to statist government and fascism. With its story ending on a note that "It happened here" and American society has completely abandoned liberalism and democracy and worse that the people accept it with a smile and see Yockey's brand of fascism as its savior.
 
Last archived thread.
Current thread.
You can get all the essentials from the first two posts as the resident baker puts all recent leaks in a sticky and all major news from the past thread in the second post. It's a good place to get information about the most recent dumpster fire since a lot of disgruntled devs post there so it's worthwhile checking in on it every now and then.

A moderation lead on the team recently threatened a fan wiki with a lawsuit. Apparently, it never went anywhere.

The current lead dev of the mod, an end-of-history neoliberal, was recently banned from the official Discord for The Campaign Trail (a political web game) for repeatedly telling people to kill themselves.

And to top it all off, the Amur rework (which they've been working on for years apparently) will have less content than all other tags, and will therefore break all Russian content. The alternative - to actually give them as much content as everyone else - is apparently unthinkable.

So turns out, the mod is still a complete dumpster fire.
I hope and actively pray somehow Muppet takes over TNO proper somehow.
The current TNO dev team would absolutely deserves having their shit taken away from them by that autistic muppet.
 
Maybe they will. They did after all correctly portray Moseley as the proponent of European Unity he actual was IRL.
Wasn't Moseley only a proponent of European Unity post-war because he correctly saw that America was beginning to turn Europe into a series of vassal states? Not too familiar with how exactly his British fascism worked in the 30s, just assumed it was Anglo nationalism.
 
Eventually reaching him running for a third term since in that universe FDR was not president (this is really old TNO where Joe Kennedy was president instead).

Wait they also changed that? What? Why? What is the "more realistic" scenario of theirs now to why America lost WW2?

Man fuck these niggers.

FDR only does two terms and passes the torch to another socdem instead, however this guy has stomach cancer and its revealed on the campaign trail so he barely loses to William Wilke. Wilke losses since muh Republicans. Its in the voooooooooooooote pig proposal though its current lore now. It seems they are slowly boiling the frog of the TNO fanbase by putting their shit in and replacing old lore piece by piece.
 
I think that sums up must of the negativity in that community. The mod used to have a lot of soul and potential. All of it was thrown away because a bunch of midwits wanted to turn Panzer's autistic schizoposting into the most soulless Wikipedia scrape imaginable and proceeded to throw away literal years of everyone's lives slowly dismantling everything that made the mod interesting to begin with. *sigh*
Sadly decent ideas and concepts by themselves are not enough to make something worthwhile. Since this is a free mod, they obviously could only use free labour and thus only lifeless autists were willing to dedicate their NEET time to being script drones, and due to the time of the mod's release these lifeless autists were increasingly being consoomed by the troonified "MUH DIVERSITY MUH SENSITIVITY MUH MUH MUH PROBLEMATIC" sphere which resulted in the mod rapidly being watered down in literal tumblr fanfic shit in bulk along with vicarious rants about whatever edgy leftist schtick was in vogue among the edgetard/autist left that moment.

The only vague hope of averting this would have been for someone in the big boy chair to clearly and mercilessly lay down the law and not immidiately cuck out to predictable threats of cancelation by the drones....and obviously that was never a possibility.

Even if the OG creators did not have to rally a bunch of autists together to make the mod a reality and thus allow ever more troonified retards ever more power over direction and tone, you need a competent and coherent writer to tie up all the decent ideas and concepts into a solid whole that doesnt fall apart at the slightest prodding and that just wasnt somebody they had on board nor somebody they could recruit given the quality of the workforce.
 
I've been looking into MuppetFan25 and I legit think he's deserving of his own thread, probably by someone more versed in the MuppetFan lore than I am
Yeah the guy strikes me as being out of time, like he belongs in the Sonic/MLP fanbase during the late aughts/early 10s and is only in the HoI4 modding community because it's the closest modern equivalent to the sheer concentration of autism that were those communities during their height.
 
I might draft up an OP for the vague liner notes, I unfortunately don't have the time to go full NEET detective mode though so it'll be rather sparse

I'll see if I have the document buried in my phone or computer somewhere but I also remembered a big part of his path was that he initially would have just been a Fascist but upon winning his third term he was going to do a Palpatine like speech and the ruling party switches to National Socialism, finally unlocking the juicy content such as annexing the other OFN nations.
The title for this thread could be "TNO Grieving Thread".
At this point this thread has turned into the HOI4/Paradox Grieving Thread since the Paradox thread already on the site seems to be dead.
 
FDR only does two terms
For how much TNO loves realism it amazes me they'd decide to do something this blatantly unrealistic. FDR would have ran for a fifth term if he didn't have a heart attack 3 months into his fourth. Guy was a worst asshole than Wilson in terms of international relations (I'm slowly becoming convinced he was a crypto-communist) and would have loved to forcibly cripple Western Europe more than those countries ended up post-war in real life.
 
So this is the worldmap and lore.

Reminds me of a total nazi victory map i saw on deviantart, but that one was made after the guy compilated like 300 pages worth of axis territorial claims, including the sources in a giant word file.
Needless to say, I dont think the modder got any of the giant autism needed to check through every sigle axis territorial claim like the deviantart guy did, gonna see if I can find the link

Edit: here, the claims are in a mediafire link
