T. /gsg/ - Traditional Grand Strategy General

We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

reminder to shitpost

...

>tfw I didn't even make the thread but am still the only one posting in it

No, there's me. Plus there's 2 unique IPs before I posted, so there must be at least one other.
Unless it counts the OP, I guess.

...

I DL'd that font specifically from github to mimic your infopic but my font isn't the same.
c-can you post your font file so I can useit pls

counts the OP, all of the first three posts are me

There are now four posters.
is the third

*farts*

Dude I have literally no idea what font I used, heck I'm not even convinced it was TeX. Try like, I don't know, Nimbus or some shit.

yeehaw

Based.
Why are you even bumping this, the other one isn't a Grandi thread?

How does one even know what a grandi thread is anymore? I thought grandi was R&I

You said you used deja vu math tex gyre. I asked you specifically.
>boards.fireden.net/vg/thread/165515962/#q165531180
Fucking post them, Chong, or there's going to be issues.

I prefer this infopic and the mods in the OP
simple as

I don't have them right now faggot, it's not as if I downloaded them specifically I probably got them from installing LaTeX. I'm also not on my loonix install right now.

He is, and seen as the last thread doesn't have 3 R&I warnings it isn't made by him.
Or maybe it is and he's just swapped tactics, I don't know.

Was the R&I post the same IP or?

OP of the other thread, I'm not him and I don't give a shit about this stupid OP drama.

Hold on, it most certainly is a Grandi thread. He's using the same generic stock insults he always uses to delegitimize any thread not made by him.

nah that was me mate, just teasing

You should really stop making threads or announce you're making them yourself when someone else says they're making threads, otherwise this happens.

What did he mean by this.

Maybe people should make threads quicker since even after announcing it before I made it you took 20 seconds longer to post this thread over the other one.

s-sorry
I wouldn't give them to me anyway if I were you, I'll only use them to make shitpost OPs.

Just go download LaTeX or something and the fonts should pop up
Alternatively is there some option to enable litgitures? I probably enabled them somehow.

Can you people explain to me what the hell is happening here now, please?

It seems to me that every time that I visit this general after a while there is some new drama going on.

That's because I was updating the this day in history and finding the t. /gsg/ infopic on the archive.

Well blame yourself then for taking so fucking long.

Why did you use the t. /gsg/ one anyway ffs

based janny

Check it out, it got nuked.

>steamgruppe has a janny
It's over

I'll look into it. Thanks anyway.
When you said your sister was long gone did you mean you're out of touch with her?
dont lose her user

>deleted even though it was the first one posted
Really makes me think janitors.

No I mean she doesn't come on /gsg/ anymore lmao she sleeps literally across the hall from me at home

>steamgruppe makes t.gsg
r u stoopid

>announce im making a thread
>some other user makes one anyway
>it's my fault for taking too long
Lad, precedent is to wait if someone says they're making a new thread, otherwise our entire way of life will collapse.

t. Alex Grand

Reminder that Huey Long did nothing wrong

So, Can all this be tracked to the old problem with the steam group?

Who the fuck is Alex Grand? Why did I saw that name it in the other general too?

this, I asked for the thread to be made and user responded but (((alex))) made the R&I thread anyway

It's alright.

Reminder that Enrico "Based" Dandolo did nothing wrong

Reminder that the sparrows had it coming

>tfw we will never ever EVER go back to using the actually good looking money with De People on them instead of this ugly fatass they have to keep beautifying but still ends up looking like shit

h8 venetians

hello g*yreek

>Who the fuck is Alex Grand? Why did I saw that name it in the other general too?

t*rks out
plebbitors too

Have a spicy new version

You are right, I'm going out of here. Thanks for the advice.

test to see if I got banned for anti turk posts again

Turks are white and based.

If you ever get banned for anti turk posts then this general is truly dead(er)

there are no white muslims

What?

uh thats not true sweaty, just listen to varg.

test to see if I got banned for anti-discord posts again

Look up the chinese bills for 10 cents and 50 cents

>vassals start ruining your borders

has the warhammer mod been updated yet?

Can you not just post what they looked like before and what they look like now? It's not very easy to navigate various currencies when you don't know what you're supposed to be looking for.

So how are Tibetans?

mountain muslims

They're on fire.

Looks like the sort of shit they used to use as wallpaper at my local chinky before they had to get rid of the wallpaper for EU health and safety bollocks.
When we leave I shall recommend they put it back up. Hopefully give one of the lefty fuckers who use it bird flu all the way from yingyang.

>this ugly fatass
Enjoy your stay in the Laogai.
I'm not very familiar with Chinese history, is Mao still viewed favourably? I thought everybody hated him after reformers ousted his wife.

>tfw no chinese communist gf to belittle me for being a white capitalist
are exit bags still the goto for a painless suicide?

Laogai is a process, not a place. It's short for Laodong Gaige or something like that (can't remember) which is "Labor Reform" (or rather, "Reforming [through] Labor). You'd be sent off to no-name shithole villages.

>is Mao still viewed favorably
He's like
He's this guy that people tacitly admit really fucked up, but then people also still view him as a national hero who in his words "got China to stand up again". There's a joke that goes, "God is judging the Chairman. He says, 'let us begin by looking at your life up to '56. Oh my! What a great man! Now let me look up to '66. Oh, you've made some serious mistakes, but all in all, you seem to be decent. Now let me look up to your death. Oh...what happened?'"

>being capitalist
>not being based neo-reactionary national strasserist

YOU DONT WANT A CHINESE GF TO BELITTLE YOU FOR BEING A WHITE CAPITALIST YOU JUST WANT A WOMAN TO TREAT YOU LIKE SHIT BECAUSE YOUR MOM DID AND NOW YOU GET OFF ON IT SEXUALLY MAKIGN YOU A BETA

I thought his biggest fuck ups were in his relative infancy? The steel meme, muh sparrows, I thought he got better as time went on, not worse.

>Not going North Korea mode or only giving titles to your family and having a complex system of favors and spies to keep vassals in check.

Hello gee cuck

William the Conqueror did nothing wrong, Harold Godwinson had it coming.

The problem with that is if you do anything to one member of your family they all hate you. If your brother cuckolds you and you arrest and torture him your entire family gets a -100 'tortured close kin' relation with you.
Plus it's ahistorical, as in real life they'd just form cadet houses after they'd been given titles.

That's not really the 'infancy', you gotta understand, since the civil war counts as his doing too. Plus the steel / glf had a lot to do with both mismanagement, bureaucratic fuck up (apparently Mao was told by yes-men trying to get promoted that there was enough food when there wasn't shit), and natural disasters all in one. Later on, his fuck ups were more or less all his own.

Think you mean KMS-user. Are they the same person?

>Jade Dragon
>"This time, I'm not gonna use the character creator. Let's just go with whatever the game gives me. I know they're all random over here since there's no real historical information but that's okay."
>0 diplomacy, 3 martial, 0 stewardship, 19 intrigue, 2 learning

He did pretty well in the civil war, didn't he? I mean, he won.

Been trying the Warcraft Universalis mod for EU4 and it doesn't seem stable. Crashes when I hover the "recruit admiral" button and two days after going to war.

Gonna try to rollback to 1.22 and try there.

Reminder that Cnut Sweynsson is the one true king of england.

Don't think so, gee junkie plays all kinds of countries

Right, so people consider that, and everything up to and even including the GLF, as being 'shit, he done good', since the GLF was essentially well-meaning but terrifically rubbish luck. Later on his 'reforms' were just nonsensical, and the cult. rev. was essentially him inciting the youngsters enough that they went full bastille day and started burning everything.

He didn't get better he slowly got btfo'd out of power by the rest of the power because he was so utterly fucking incompetent. Then later used his cult of personality to become the de facto leader of the Chinese people and started the cultural revolution. Which is literally the only thing the Chinese government has ever apologized for because it was so fucking horrible. He was a completely inept, psychopathic, fuck up. The only reason he's not viewed truthfully is because he won the heart of the people that he completely fucked economically and psychologically, who are now in power and have built him into a if not the pillar of the Chinese people/nation-state.

These guys do a great job at explaining how fucked in the head everyone above the age of 40 in China is because of Mao.

Too bad CKII doesn't simulate capet houses or appanages. Or marital systems of different cultures. Or half the shit and Medieval Ages simulator game should.

CK2 suffers from being too easy

William the Bastard, Duke of Normandy and First of His Name of England, is the synthesis of four great cultures (the Franks of Germania melded with the Romano-Gauls who are themselves the peak of Roman and Gaulish fusion, all of which to meld into the superior Romance French culture, as well as the Norse adventurers that settled the land that would come to be Normandy), the PINNACLE of Aryan culture. Your narrow, dimwitted, beady eyed, upturned ghoulish nosed, Briton-tainted minds cannot even COMPREHEND the cultural evolution that resulted in the man that would come to bring enlightenment of an unforeseen calibre to Britannia, that ancient province of Rome in days long passed. You should be THANKFUL that this based Norman, who is singlehandedly responsible for the Golden Era of England, even FATHOMED the idea of invading your pathetic mud-hut "kingdom," if it can even be called such (the invasion of which trivially easy with SUPERIOR Norman horsemen against the PITIFUL Anglo-Jutic-Saxon peasants bathing in their own filth while the Norman soldiers bathed and had their pick of women EVERY night). Watch who you are insulting, you islandoid mongrels, and remember that this man sallied forth to transform your retched cultural union of barbarians into the foremost power of Europe, only stopping short of his TRUE goal to replace your shit-stained teeth with the truly perfected Aryan Norman race.

No, the RoC was just a fucking joke

Picking a real character and trying to do better than they did in real life is pretty fun.

Wait. Based PRC shits on hedonism? It's got Christian values? BASED

GOAT

Guess I've embraced Maoism now.

Yeah, I see what you mean now. Really highlights the problems with rule for life, as former victories erode and it devolves into a desperate cult to hold on to power.
How do you think history would differ had his wife become ruler and upheld non reformed M-L Maoism. Would the world economy would be fucked? Would the Cold war continue indefinately with China in place of the USSR?
Quality vid, thanks for linking.

>Too bad CKII doesn't simulate capet houses or appanages. Or marital systems of different cultures. Or half the shit and Medieval Ages simulator game should.
Surely simulating satanic immortal horses should take preference in a feudal dynasty simulator than some "cadet houses" bullshit, or whatever other meme you've come up with.

>It's got Christian values
Not really no, but porn is apparently a no-no.

No, China would've fucking collapsed, because while Mao slowly lost it near the end and might've been suffering from something like mild dementia, by all accounts he was a capable and charismatic leader at heart, and was also unironically convinced that he was working for the good of the People(tm). His wife though was the grand trio of incompetent, power hungry, and tyrannical.

>His wife though was the grand trio of incompetent, power hungry, and tyrannical.
Says the guy raised in a Deng Xiaoping school.

I don't know what you're talking about, because I'm not a Dengist if that's what you're saying. Mao may have been misguided and deranged in the end, but he wasn't completely goddamn incompetent to begin with. His wife was a literal pop star.

Yeah but what can you do once you have a secure Jerusalem? there is no empire title for you.
