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

If Rudyard Lynch isn't the leader, the event sucks.
Title: "Strange Man Demands State Mandated Girlfriends"
Description: "An unknown man (low testosterone phenotype) was seen outside the White House today demanding President-For-Life Nixon implement a federally controlled prostitution ring. An on scene Secret Service agent politely told the man to shut up. He responded by saying he had a right to freedom of expression. The agent decided to exercise his freedom of expression by gunning down the troublemaker. There will be no investigation, there will be no trial, there will be no funeral."

I have a schizo idea for Taboritsky the Clock Man
The build I am working off of has a Taboritsky death and second warlord collapse. I've already patched out the latter, but I decided to keep his death. Only instead of triggering a collapse, his number two man, Victor, decides to cover up his death, which keeps Tabs, now a corpse, as your country leader, while Victor simply continues his policies while "searching" for Alexei.
Now the funny thing about the Taboritsky warlord collapse is that a fake Alexei is one of the warlords, which gave me an idea.
Victor eventually gets into trouble since Taboritsky hasn't been seen in a long time, and he is under pressure to reveal Tabby's whereabouts. Victor is then presented with a fake Taboritsky, who offers to act as a figurehead. The player is then given the choice to accept the figurehead or tell him to bugger off.
If you tell him to bugger off, Victor will attempt to consolidate as much power as possible around himself. Once he's finished, he announces that Tabby died "recently" and that he was appointed the next regent, thus keeping you burgsys.
If you take pseudo-Taboritsky's offer, he'll start slowly undermining Victor, independently gathering followers and support, until he's ready to make he's ready for his coup de grace.
He publicly announces he has "found" Alexei, and presents pseudo-Alexei to the world, (he was hidden away in a Siberian village this whole time guys!). Pseudo-Alexei then orders the arrest of Victor, and rewards "Taboritsky's" unwavering devotion by making him Minister-Chairman of the Empire, switching you to authdem. So in the end, the real, very dead Taboritsky gets what he always wanted.
The clock never stops
 
Dude apparently has a bet with a friend that not only will there be a civil war post 2024 election but that there will be 1000 bodies by april
It's not an and, it's an either or; he's caveated the mostly civil war prediction with either that or at least 1000 politically-motivated killings. Which, to be fair, is just the yearly homicides of Chicago and Philadelphia combined.

There were a few suicides related to the election of Donald Trump but I'm not sure if that counts.
 
Worth mentioning maybe
Stakuyi's faggotry is inconcivable

Keep the second collapse and just have it be another option where news of Taboritsky's death gets out.

That's actually a very good idea, I'll just make it so the ai never does it. Having a second warlord era pop up suddenly kinda messes with my "Reunified Russia Destabilizes Global Politics Plan"
Yes, but there's some different factions depending on whether the LDP or the Civil Coalition rules Japan, I think. The schizos weren't there when I won as LDP Japan
No wholesome ROC seizes control of China? Sad! Very sad!
