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

[foreman 89]

Toolbox theory isn't coming out this month unfortunately

I haven't played TNO U.S.A very much, you have any events, foci, dev statements/chats to back that up?

Just check her page on Wikipedia. A brief glance tells you she was a communist terrorist who helped arm various Leftist terror organizations and has tied to the Black Panthers. Oh and she is in the Women's Hall of Fame because nothing says girl power like arming domestic terrorists.

They'll probably just ask the media & Academia, they seem to love her these days

It's all so tiresome.

I think I know which leak you're talking about, but wasn't that just an intro skeleton tree? Counting that as content is a bit like saying the DSR had content. (Though that's a whole other can of worms.)

IDK about actual effects but I know it did have some unique GFX.

 

[Senile]

Yeah, its called "Cold Southern Springs". The broader TNO team seems to have foisted the role of Latin America development onto them, but I don't know if they've been fully subsumed yet. As for agenda-posting, there was some drama about the way they handled the Brazilian Integralists, but so far the project as a whole seems to look alright. I suppose we'll see.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

People take alt history to really retarded lengths, when there's way more topics grounded in reality that no modder wants to actually do. Take Operation Valkyrie, if the coup against Hitler actually succeeded. According to historians there was a real chance the Western Allies would have seeked peace with Germany, with Germany losing most of its territories sure. But also you'd likely see a western front become a ceasefire, and quite possibly a long bloody war on the eastern front.

But no we need realism like big chungus anarchism in France thanks to Kaiserreich; where there is zero explaination how the country even functions day to fucking day.

The issue with Valerie being a mod, for example, is that nukes would be involved. The Americans wouldn’t allow the Soviet’s to live, and it would just allow the Germans to become an American puppet, or for Germany to get fully destroyed. And with that, China would never be allowed to be PRC, and the largest threat to American world domination would be a unified Arabia.

Cold southern springs has Main TNO devs working on it and some CSS devs also work on TNO

I have a feeling that De-Panzerification might not go the way we think. At first I was excited that “authoritarianism is bound to fail” was no longer the case but I feel like this is only going to affect communist dictatorships. Fascist/Right Wing dictatorships will fall but Commie ones will live forever.

It would be highly ironical: as much as they hate the Kirkpatrick doctrine, if they ever do that they would make a big apology of Kirkpatrick doctrine (that means: left wing dictatorships are worst than right wing dictatorships because the latter tend to be harder to beat and destroy. There's obviously more to it but I'm summing it up). I would want to think they won't be that stupid to make such mistake, but again, this is TNOdevs, so I don't know what to expect.

Has anyone played Kirkpatrick in TNO? I really didn't play a lot of US paths (I played like 3 different presidencies). But considering all the bitching they made about «why kirkpatrik bad» back then I can only imagine.

Does anyone here have an invite to Slackjawed's discord? The link from his YouTube channel seems to have just expired.

Here it is, discord is going to ban the previous one for ToS violations

If I recall correctly she may be the one who empowers Yockey and imprisons Asians in the US if she goes down a certain path. May be the other FR-NPP female president however.

Just read the comments. People unironically calling SBA the most "blessed" path if they stay lib soc.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/m1fhsi/monarchy_stans_are_weird/

But monarchists? Let the followers of a 150 year old ideology and followers of an ideology that always fails when implemented tell you how your ideology is old and stupid.

Gonna be honest, Monarchists follow a proven ideology that doesn't immediately collapse after 100 years. It was the only ideology for thousands of years, and only for the past 100, it's been out of fashion. Yet over the past 100 years, all communist governments have collapsed (USSR, Eastern Bloc), or have turned into faux communist countries (Vietnam and China)

 

[LOWERCASE LETTERS]

Kind of lame watching internet nazis sneak into this thread tbqh. This is a thread for making fun of the retards who run TNO, not stealth posting about your gay ideologies.

If you came here to bitch because whichever fascist politician you like to fellate the most isn't portrayed the way you want in the mod, you're missing the point of the thread.

TNO drama has died down a bit (they finally ran out of people to purge) while the other big mods have clamped down massively on their internal security and are likely in the process of destroying evidence of grooming. In such circumstances it's obvious why activity slowed down and the thread is back to dumb sperging. Slackjaweds discord has incidentally evolved into a kind of mini-kiwifarms, the 4chan redux is focused on making the mod now, etc.

Of course, someone could just so happen to randomly leak stuff from Kaiserreich or TNO and start the whole process over again...

Of course, @Gone Ham could leak all the TWR Discord content now, as he got kicked off from the dev team. He did promise to do so.

 

[slackjawed man]

I think the main reason things are slowing down is because everything hit a pretty massive breaking point with the grooming stuff and chaiposting. Right now TNO is on lockdown, and is trying their best to just wait this out and hope everyone forgets about it. They won’t do anything to acknowledge what happened, but if what I’ve heard is true, the mod team is going more loonie than normal, they’re trying to find any leaker and forgot that they’re making a mod, coders are still leaving and they’re not opening any more positions, meaning that updates will be a lot slower, unless they do more crunch time.

I’d say give it another month and another big retard moment will happen. Or a few weeks if someone finds something incredibly damming in the new dev chats that were leaked.

I’ve also heard rumors of some big youtuber talking about and making a vid about what happened, and if that’s real, things will get very interesting very soon. But chances are no one wants to touch this situation with a 100 foot long pole.

I highly doubt any of the mainstream hoi4tubers would cover the shitshow. TNO is too niche to gain a large number of eyes on it, let alone a large following.

No drama channel is gonna cover it due to the same issues.

Let me just get into my time machine and get the logs.

you’re an idiot if you think I would’ve held and kept the logs secret after I got kicked out.
