Spacebattles, and its offshoots - Who would win? A bunch of autistic nerds or a site and its tranny jannies?

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.

Lmao as an Honorverse fan how did you do that?

I'm pretty sure it involved a lot of evocations of "Honor is a Mary Sue, she only wins because her enemies are dumb," and lots of "David Weber writes techwank." That latter one is less the Honorverse and more some of his older series, the 5th Empire and Dahak and all that, but it was shitposting, so you know. I like a lot of Weber's work, Honor isn't always my cup of tea, so it was more Honorverse autists being smug and insufferable. That was always a good way to get people jumping on your fandom back then, there was only so much "Honor is amazing and we use grav sails to be invincible and x-ray missile spam solves all problems!" you can take. It wasn't serious business, but some fandoms were more serious than other. The 40k posters were always tongue in cheek about being absurd, so they didn't get that much shit. Just sometimes "The Empire from 40k vs. The Empire from Star Wars," which usually led to "Who's the worse shot, Guardsmen or Stormtroopers?"

I'd like to help the thread get further off the ground, but I don't know much about the likely autistic drama that the site does have. I'm sure everyone with a brain would know that QQ has some disgusting degenerate shit going on like all the other sites that allow for NSFW messes.
I guess I can point to one of the times where one of them got a little too degenerate on spacebattles itself though, from this guy's thread: https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/breaking-fate-a-type-moon-quest.600170/.

A part of the creative writing side of spacebattles are quests, which were originally called their own injoke term called BROB before the better term was imported from /tg/. These are essentially fanfics turned into an video-game by the author or QM. This is a match made in heaven for SB, where the writting side and the powerscaleing numbers autism collides together. Along with of course the touch of selfish "I can do better than any of the characters in that book series!" that drives them to try and maximize power. An interesting holdover from that autistic series of fanfics of harry potter called rational.

Back to the point, this quest has it all. A main character who's got some overpowered ability that lends well to the big stat numbers autism. Big deal, I've read a few of these quests and this is a dime a dozen. But notice the thread itself is locked. Why, one may ask?

Simple. It stars a 10 year old minor that the QM decided to put in a relationship with a girl in her late teens, while implying he reads dirty magnazines. From what I recall (since I don't want to go into the thread and read this crap) the latter happened later but the former was something that got established about midway. Now of course this was eventually caught and reported on to the mod team but this shit still went on for almost 400 pages.

What series is this? Not the same thing as Yudkowsky's HPMOR?

Lmao really? I haven't read it but isn't it something of a trope on Worm that people deconstruct and try and be realistic about superheroes and superpowers or am I mistaken? Because if that is the case people pulling a fast would would be quite literally what is expected. But apparently the dude threw a fit?

Can we get some more context and explanation? It might explain why there is so much Worm but apparently not much with the sequels of it.

All I remember from wildbow (worm author)'s quest is that you were playing as the leaders of the local superhero government police force thing, and one of the superpowered kids assigned to you was an absolute shitbag who would disobey orders and pretty much sabotage missions, but you weren't allowed to do anything about it. It went far beyond bureaucratic malaise and red tape and into "Real world organizations don't work like that" real fast.

Not only that but it of course made them fail without any means to address it. Anyone would get mad at this, and especially SBers. Still doesn't stop them from writing about Worm for some reason though.


Speaking of fanfiction autism, I've discovered what looks to be the motherload of it headquartered on Spacebattles itself. It's called the infinite loops.


As you can see by the size of the thread and the sheer autistic detail in the OP it's some ancient fossil of a fanfic genera. Revolving around the loops, which is just groundhog day over the entirety of fiction. It was started by some idiot in the late 2000s so he could make his favorite anime characters OP, but once Spacebattles found out they've written an entire autistic crossover multiverse involving settings from MLP to 40k. A quick glance at the end shows that the whole thing seems to be slowly dying off, but it has left a deccade's worth of what I assume is cringe there as well.

Enough for of course an entire Tvtropes page. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/TheInfiniteLoops

On a quick look at the end of one of the loop threads and I see this. Guy posts 1 post about Deadpool and a jannie immediately comes over and puts in a big formated box about how he shouldn't do that to the precious thread.

Made more hilarious is that "On Sabbatical" banner means he's a mod himself, but is either taking a break for awhile or been told "we're firing you, but we don't want to go through the full effort and drama of firing you".

Yeah, guess that's what they learned from the Anthene tranny janny fiasco. Make the mod firing more subtle.

Gonna follow this thread since it has a lot of potential. Powerscaling is infested with magnitudes of autistic sperging and raging, it's genuinely some of the funniest shit i've read, good thread so far. For a "hobby" that's all about discussing the hypothetical scenarios between fictional characters and their worlds, i've often see politics being rammed into these environments and i don't get why they insist on doing this, it's retarded but entertains me nonetheless

Powerscaling drama peaked with the old purged OBD wiki that was half documenting local forum drama and debate lolcows written like ED articles and half very serious powerscaling. Sadly it got deleted and lobotomized several times to remove the actually funny shit.

Due to the efforts of Ryona420 and the wonderful people mocking left-wing autism in the tno thread I've stumbled onto an goldmine of wishful thinking and outright derangement from a quest on SV this time.
Unlike the last one I posted this does not represent horny degeneracy that was too much for even the mods on the site. As already shown by other images there's plenty of other things they get obsessed over to the point of lunacy. This is a power fantasy from democratic socialists and their sphere on how their based true socialism manages to out-compete three superpowers. Including an America they railroaded to be an entire empire of evil that genocides iceland for no good reason.

Gendercide: The Romanian Iron Guard regime in 1984, in response to the Bucharest-based socialist uprising and Comintern intervention, mobilizes every "able-bodied adult" male it can find (read: able to carry a hand grenade) to fight off the Reds or die trying in a desperate bid to "save" Romania from Communism. When the dust settles and the Comintern forces prevail, it is revealed that 90 percent of the male population of Romania dies in the bloodbath, which leads the new female-dominated Red Romania to hastily seek measures to address the massive gender imbalance on top of the desolation of much of the country outside the Bucharest region. This includes everything from relatively mundane policies like encouraging male-skewed immigration from other parts of the Comintern and providing conventional Natalist incentives to more radical solutions like adopting revolutionary gender-noncomformative family policies, legalizing polyamory and conducting experiments in communal living and child-raising.

  • By 1984, Iberia has become the epitome of this trope. The destruction of any and all technology and culture on the peninsula resulted in gigantic famines and epidemics, so much that by the time the Comintern invades it, much of the population is dead, the country is littered with ghost towns, and Spanish culture is practically gone. One UAR soldier unfavorably compares it to the Dark Ages.
Two seperate Grimdark messes that let them do whatever they want

Donald Regan​

Though a real person he's certainly picked for his name and ties to Reagan and proclaimed to be a very bad president after the Girlboss Far Righter gets killed.
Freaking Gaddaffi who's not only lionized but is also turned into a funny meme man who wants to randomly destroy switzerland.
They also of course put in bush in around the 1980s, and have him nuke and genocide Iceland in order to beat the Nazis.
Muammar Gaddafi, the second chairman of the comintern, retains most of his OTL Cloudcuckoolander tendencies, with his hawkish and at times bizarre solutions to problems (that sometimes actually work) within the Comintern becoming a meme within the community. These VERY GOOD IDEAS include:
  • In response to the CDN's internal civil war during 1988, he proposes to gather up thousands of IRB troops, disguise them as German/English/Irish/etc people and sneak them into enemy territory to start revolutions that the comintern can directly support.
  • If elected without a troika, he would have admitted the Seattle Commune into the Comintern and bluffing to Mc Math by telling him that the Comintern built underground bunker cities across the globe and has enough seed vaults to survive a nuclear holocaust and that he was perfectly happy to end the world knowing communism would rebuild from the ruins.
  • Wanting to utterly destroy Switzerland due to a grudge he has against the country for reasons he will not reveal to anyone.
  • Any nation that attempts to make power plays to become "Leader of the Comintern" gets expelled from the Comintern immediately, cut off from any trade and diplomatic efforts and left isolated and alone until it either gives up its ambitions or is imperialized by the other powers.
  • Reeducate German settlers in the mandates into die-hard revolutionaries, then repatriate them back to the Germany and the CAR and have them wage a Protracted People's War.
Oh and of course they are very heavy handed in their messages
There's probably even more in the thread and tvtropes page but I don't feel like dragging my soul through that rn.

SV will probably get worse now that DRUMPF! is back. As for destroying Spain, top kek. I approve, not for everything else. Then again, remember this is a site where a false flag op was done to ban a historical quest starring romans because the arab faction was annihilated, and the mods were looking for an excuse to ban everyone, so a rando said some racist things and never appeared again, giving reasons for the mods to close the quest for racism.

By the way, didn't they have a rule to not hate fictional entities? I guess it doesn't apply when they do it.
 
I find hilarious some commie decided "Yes Gaddafi is a rapist who financed islamic moviments and invaded Chad on an imperialist decision, but what if he was a good guy?"

But hey, better a rapist than a conservative, isnt that right?
