The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Glad you enjoyed, Tam.

This doesn't seem quite right:

Main Entry: ti·moc·ra·cy
Pronunciation: tI-'mä-kr&-sE
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle French tymocracie, from Medieval Latin timocratia, from Greek timokratia, from timE price, value, honor + -kratia -cracy; akin to Greek tiein to honor, Sanskrit cAyati he respects
1 : government in which a certain amount of property is necessary for office
2 : government in which love of honor is the ruling principle
- ti·mo·crat·ic /"tI-m&-'kra-tik/ or ti·mo·crat·i·cal /-ti-k&l/ adjective

Maybe if you replace "love of honor" with "fear of death." And "property" with "bloodthirstiness."

I wonder what an allysonocracy would be like ...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think we have a name for the next thread. Only 8559 more posts.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Less honor, more making out.

I am so in favour of this, you don't understand.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Huh. I would've thought that a Timocracy would have more to do with fear.

Hm. Tim should come in and say something about women being very maternal and men being incapable of monogamy due to the outcome of the War of 1812, or something. We'd have Minearverse 4 by sundown on the West Coast.

I could start a flamewar.

Should I go into the reasons why AYNOHYEB is racist, or why Billy is a by-product of Mutant Enemy's obvious hatred of women?

That should get us to 4 by noon.

Or, it'd get ita to my workplace by 10am to beat me with her cane.

Wait, I thought That Old Gang Of Mine was the racist one.

Whichever. Pick one.

Tim killed Doyle because he hates the Irish, obviously.

We could go with that. It doesn't have the same sort of spicy hyperbole that could get us to 4 by noon, though.

I need a sockpuppet.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

And what color are the Pyleans? Green. Irish hating again.

Oh, just stage a bloody coup and get the current thread name changed. Less work than a flame war, and thread appropriate what with the blood and all.
