How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, May 8th:
453 BC – Spring and Autumn period: The house of Zhao defeats the house of Zhi, ending the Battle of Jinyang, a military conflict between the elite families of the State of Jin.
1794 – Branded a traitor during the Reign of Terror by revolutionists, French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, who was also a tax collector with the Ferme Générale, is tried, convicted, and guillotined all on the same day in Paris.
1942 – World War II: The Battle of the Kerch Peninsula: The German 11th Army begins Operation Trappenjagd (Bustard Hunt) and destroys the bridgehead of the three Soviet Armies (44th, 47th, and 51st) defending the Kerch Peninsula, in the eastern part of the Crimea.

Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

>not using the updated infographic

HoI 3 is so fucking hard

btfo

Another thread of the fucking no stellaris autist

stellaris preorder soon

OP here, made a mistake. Stellaris is allowed in this thread

No it isn't, just play as Germany and play until you lose

preordered it weeks ago

thanks OP

reminder to post your Stellaris empires
stellarisspeciesgen.com/

Now this is butthurt

pls

Will Distant Worlds be replaced with Stellaris or will Stellaris get a different spot?

>new IP
wew
you could at least post something before to pretend you really are the op

>Reminder that Stellaris discussion doesn't belong in this thread.

Seems like the issue is non existant

The info pic guy said DW will be replaced by HOI4 and EU Rome will be replaced by stellaris

use the updated tooltip next time

>replacing DW with HoI4
>3 HoI games in the pic
Nah, that's shit

If anything HoI4 should replace DH since it's the older game of the series

It wasn't a new IP, I was looking at the counter

I am OP. You have to follow the rules of my thread or get banned

>didn't read anything about Stellaris after the initial announcement until now
>knew it would be GOAT
>didn't know it would be this GOAT

HoI IV seems promising as well, family. Is this a golden age?

A golden shower

>this much butthurt because stellaris got kicked out before it was released
wew

Si

t. OP

how long does detainment last?

That's fucking stupid. Distant Worlds gets more posting than EU3. Replace EU4 with Stellaris and call it a day.

Can't wait to watch your butthurt tomorrow when the official infopic guy releases the new infopic with HOI4 and stellaris on it

>Replace EU4 with Stellaris
Now you went full retard...

...

About 39 hours and 8 minutes more.

I don't see what all the drama about the 2-thread solution is

Seems like a perfectly good idea to me

I mean, we don't have to like, roleplay as personifications of this general, there shouldn't be any animosity between the stellaris-allowed and traditional thread.

WE FUCKING SETTLING THIS RIGHT NOW. NO MORE AUTIST FIGHTS REGARDING STELLARIS IN /GSG/ THIS IS FINAL.

poal.me/qyhqix
poal.me/qyhqix
poal.me/qyhqix

But how is Stellaris going to be advertised if we isolate it?

there weren't enough autists to maintain the meme splinter thread and it died

We won the war and the jannies deleted t./gsg/ The OP of that thread got butthurt so now he's trying to turn /gsg/ into his shitty mess.

It's literally one autist samefagging

This
I don't see why the stellaris fags resist from creating the 4x general for themselves again

When exacrly is stellaris going to be released? Did they say what time tomorrow?

>one guy changing IP's and inflating no votes after it was 14-1 last thread

Tbh I think the whole infopic needs to be remade from scratch. A number of games show up twice and do we really need multiple games from the same series in the header?

The header should be the latest released HoI, EU, Stellaris, Distant Worlds, Vicky and Crusader Kings. At the end of each description put a note about past games of the same series.

I don't really know enough about the modding drama to comment on that.

just let him be lad, he's not hurting anyone

see

Stellaris has been posted here fine for a year. It's not going anywhere

>war
how old are you?

I rolled dice to make another random empire, and the dice say despotic empire again just like last time. It's a sign.

If DW stays so can stellaris

Make a little graphic for designing an empire based on a post number roll

stellaris wasn't even announced a year ago
>a game has been posted here one year before its release
wew

>literally more votes in the poll than unique posters ITT
wew I wonder what's going on here

Because our thread here is good enough for us.

Hope it gets cracked quickly

Will get it on sale for $15 when I can though

The anti stellaris autist has resorted to Ip changing. He's really desperate.

>It's literally one autist samefagging
>totally not samefagging

cry more bitch nigga

sorry 4x immigrant, this isn't your thread

No polls in this thread though. Do you mean the more than hour old poll in the previous thread?

Oh wait, there's actually more IPs even in this new thread than there are votes in the poll :^)

Wtf why can't eu4 fags make there own generall it's literally civ

>IP Count 21
>Vote Count 30
No autist please go

You just don't belong here with us, user. You should go find another thread if grand strategy doesn't interest you.

...

>it's just one guy
>he's samefagging
>he's changing IPs
>he's making OPs
>we are the majority
>please don't expel us

Vicky2 is 4x

Link fag

Do you even know what 4x means?

>a random screenshot of some poll that isn't in this thread
OK

Maybe some people who use /gsg/ aren't active shitposters.

Holy shit he really is autistic

See

We literally took this 20 minutes ago

no.

Explore, Expand, Extinguish, Exuberate

>autists get btfo in literally every poll so far
>suddenly one of them gets massively butthurt and starts samefagging
>suddenly the autists start winning the newest poll
just a coincidence though :&)

>being retarded

Explore Africa
Expand into Africa
Exploit terrain
Exterminate other nations

Stellaris release timer
timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20160509T14&p0=463&msg=Stellaris release (add a day for crack)&font=cursive

Thanks for the link (reverse psych works!), I voted yes.

I find it strange that all of the strawpolls were 1 guy against it and 20 people for it, but this strange site had 20:20. How odd, don't you think?

Why does anybody wants stellariums to go?
I mean, I have frequently seen dw aars here these past years. Stellaris is basically the same AND a paradox title.

it's not like people don't give a fuck about strawpoll
or that those polls can't easily be rigged right


>the only valid stuff is the stuff that validates my argument

Just calm down and return to order, lads. Just post screenshots of your current game and relax.

In other news, I finally got my bank issues sorted, and Stellaris Nova Edition preordered! I'm gonna plan my empire in the next post.

Poal.me is super easy to exploit since there is no captcha

The only reason we use it has more customization than strawmeme

Nobody wants it to go. We just don't want their filthy advertising shills swarming this thread. It's been all about Stellaris the last 2-3 days.

All polls can easily be rigged. At least strawpoll has captcha. I think that's why the other site was used, so rigging is easier to automate.

I can't wait for this fucking stellaris shit to finally go away
Jesus christ now I understand why we separated from the 4x general

Everyone wants it here. One person is butthurt. Literally just one as proven repeatedly. Just talk about the game and don't respond to the shitposting.

Like everytime a new pdx title is released. Like in every other general when a new title is released.
It'll pass.

...

>memeterialist
>kek

We never separated from the 4x newfag

Honestly stellaris will be forgotten soon and you are making a deal over nothing. 90% of /gsg/ has been about stellaris for the past 3 days it's not going anywhere

You're right, my friend. Here, have a screenshot of my current game

Reminder that the only valid result are the yes votes
Everything else is obviously rigged or faked

It's one guy who doesn't want stellaris in history general
He's samefagging and doing all this
He does the OP, polls, anti-stellaris posts and everything else against stellaris

hello is this where we talk about the upcoming game from Paradox Interactive™ called Stellaris™?

(You)

Thats just natural with any release of a Paradox game. This'll all die down in a few weeks and we'll go back to posting about the best game Victoria 2. The thing that makes me the most scared in the future for these threads is when HoI4 comes around because there will shitposting 24/7 about how the game is easier and less complex now. AND FFS PARADOX IF YOU ARE SHILLING ADD A GODDAMN DIPLO MAP MODE TO STELLARIS FUCK

>It'll pass.
I know. But its fun to make fun of these invaders.

This.
Poal.me is easily rigged

Hi newfag

What was your strat to get nukes that early? I can never get nukes before 1941

So I think I'm gonna go humans as my race. Do they have any default racials or do I make my own? I also think I'm gonna be going Fanatic Materialists-Xenophiles. I also dunno what Warp Drive I should go for.

>Materialist not fanatic collectivist
jesus christ

ARE YOU FUCKING MAD STEAMGROUP?
ARE YOU MAD???????


FOR YEARS I WATCHED YOU SHITPOST IN TEHSE THREADS AND WITH MY HANDS TIED AND THE JANITOR BEING A LAZY FUCK I COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT

SO I WAITED
AND WAITED
UNTIL THE MOMENT FINALLY ARRIVED

WHEN OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR CRAFTED US THE MASTERPIECE KNOWN AS STELLARIS

WITH OUR NEW WEAPON WE CAN AND WE WILL DEFEAT THE STEAMGROUP

STELLARIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSTED HERE SINCE THE DAYS OF /GSG/ COME TO THEIR END

AND THERE IS NOTHING
I REPEAT NOTHING
YOU STEAMGROUPERS CAN DO ABOUT IT

THEIR LAUGHING AT US AGAIN

>
>

Agreed.

Apparently the guy can't be bothered to rig the previous few polls like this one because of the captcha:
