This is the part where I note that wasn't hammer anyways because it takes five. But it was funny to watch.

[Cabd]

Get snark'd nerd.

[Cabd]

This is where the bear comes in and steals all of your hopes and dreams mercilessly

Ya I know lol

I just wanted to entertain

Also, and maybe Maria is a big dummy who can't count after I muddied things up with my parting words

[Cabd]

I mean if she wants to give a rousing guillotine speech before putting her head on the block that's cool too. But the bear might get it first.

[Cabd]

Funniest possible outcome is gif accidentally hammers while barely conscious.

My alt rolodex isn't up to date

No more alts.

Technically this is my main account, my old account was from 2011, but when I started this on I for some reason set it as an alt to my original account(assuming because I used the same email)

VC 5.2

The first general strike in the US occurred much earlier, in 1835. The Philadelphia General Trades’ Union of the City and County of Philadelphia led a city-wide strike, demanding a 10 hour workday. The strike began in May, and by June most skilled workers had won the fight for 10 hour workdays. Unskilled workers went on strike in 1836 to win similar concessions.

MariaR demonstrated in the trenches every day of the General Strike. Signs held high, she was always on the front lines of the marches and walkouts. But, with every new corporatist who is flushed out, instead of victorious celebrations, suspicions and paranoias swirls. Even MariaR's cheerful enthusiasm is not enough.

You hope you are right. You hope the general strike will roll onward and all the goals and aspirations of the world's workers will be realized.

MariaR was Elon Musk, a

JOAT Union Buster

Spoiler: Elon Musk's Role PM

Your empire will one day encompass Mars and you will personally see to it that humanity leaves the nest and strikes out into the Solar System and beyond. But, you have a problem. Utter ingrates who spurn your vision have called a world wide general strike and demonstrations have spread like wildfire to nearly every corner of the globe. And they're using X and Starlink to make it happen. The utter GALL! You have joined a cabal with like minded moguls who are determined to preserve the world's economy and your lofty places within it. The strikes must END!

It's going to take me a while to post all the game info, role pms, neighborhoods, etc. Please bear with me. I'll update this post with the info and let you know as soon as it's all out there for you viewing pleasure. Which may not happen for several hours. I've been kicked out of my home office so a friend can crash there.

Thanks so much for playing! You've been a great group of players! I'm AMAZED that the game continuity wasn't broken up here and there by needing replacements.

10/10 I'd run games for you any time!
