Whoever did it, no they didn't, we were playing CIV 5 together at that time

[–] [email protected] 49 points 3 days ago

Can confirm. I was in the same game

Whoever did it should also immediately dispose of their ICE=KKK stencil and realize that a using a stencil is a really stupid way to get caught.

I'd like to think it was in the fire

Clearly a false flag attack based on that spray paint alone.

Why would you bother burning the GOP HQ because of ICE? Not that I would condone it, but I'd probably write something like, "When fascism comes to America, it will be carrying a cross and wrapped in a flag". Plus, ICE is operating more the the SS than the KKK. SS was a legal government organization that systematically persecuted the state's enemies using brutal tactics and complete disregard of human rights to get results. KKK is just a bunch racist beerbellied 'good ol boys' who are worried that black men are going woo all their eligible sisters. Anyone actually frustrated enough with the situation to set fire to a building wouldn't spray paint such a silly miscomparison.

Why would using one be an issue though? If the stencil is disposed afterwards, I don't see an issue.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Honestly not the best alibi, seeing that it's completely plausible to go out and commit arson in the time it takes between late game Civ turns.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

That's a crime in and of itself. Who even plays Civ 5??

[–] [email protected] 46 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Innocent people. Completely innocent people play Civ 5.

God, he’s so passive aggressive diplomatically.

Huh?

6 has too many DLCs for my taste and 4 just kinda feels outdated with tetragons for tiles. I won't buy 7 unless the Steam reviews greatly improve with updates. It sounds unfinished, and probably you'll have to pay hundreds to get all the DLC to finish it. I MIGHT pirate it to check it out down the line.

I mean usually there's a reasoning behind jokes, I was wondering what that would be.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Just a joke bcz Civ 7 just came out, and people are going back to Civ 6 bcz of the stability issues.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

7 has Denuvo. That alone should be enough to keep anyone from touching it, imo

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Fair enough. I just hit install on Civ 6 on Steam too. May my ADHD show me mercy.
