War on the Internet, Choose Your Role!

[PsychicTaco115]

The sounds of war ring out across the internet...

Due to an unexplainable event, various factions have sprung up across the Internet with the intent of destroying the others

The groups are:

The Meme Alliance- Made up of Memebase/9gag users

Tear of Aerith- JRPG/Anime fans

Gaming's Roar- IGN/Gamebomb/Screwattack community

The Minority Obsessors- An uber fandom/grammar nazi coalition

The Media Union- Reddit/Tumblr/Facebook addicts

Pwnies- A faction of more aggressive bronies, somewhat related to the Brotherhood of Pony, which is a neutral faction

As the Escapist army, we manage to contain elements of each group. Now cast into the army, what is YOUR role in the effort? Espionage, front line fighter, anything at all!

Gather quickly; dark times are ahead...

Ummm...I mean I go to Memebase a lot, but given the way people act there, I'd be loathe to say I'm part of their community.

I like MegaTen and Pokemon, but beyond that I can't stand the majority of most JRPGs/Anime

And...I guess I'm not really part of that last group either.

Can't I just be like Switzerland?

You don't want to die for the Escapist Army?

I mean, you can if you want....

But you made this puppy sad ):

Spoiler: Please Strain42, kill for me!

 

[Goofguy]

Whoa, I didn't sign up for any army. I'll be the crazy, bearded hermit living out of a bomb shelter with 10 years worth of sardines and cocktail olives to subsist on while the war rages around me.

 

[DrRockor]

my allegiances are split between tear of Aerith and Gaming's Roar, so can I be a merc or something?

Just don't try to sabotage our side; the Army is your friend!

You can smuggle supplies to sides, but a trade treaty will be made to allow the Escapist Army first picks.

Only thing i know what is is anime, and i am not touching that

 

[Able Seacat]

Can I have the ability to attack with lolcats?

Ah yes, lolcats. Our espionage team managed to get the schematics for those. Memeology is something that we're still lacking in though. :/

Care to expand on that?

Despite my ocassional love for memes, there is no army I would join up with. I stay neutral and I hide in my bunker. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Internet-Bunker]

[PsychicTaco115]

I think there should be another group. The Obsessive Fandom.

It's composed of people from deviantart, livejournal and Fanfiction.net, and it's lead by Tumblr.

I'll edit that one in; that's a good one!

You know you want to join the Escapist Army

Why?

Because we... aren't them. LOGIC AHOY!

I'm making my own faction. The faction who doesn't care about the politics and just wants to live to see another internet sunrise.

[sub]Good thing I have the infrastructure in place.[/sub]

As long as that neutrality policy applies to all factions, we won't have a problem.

You can join @Goofguy in his bunker too

 

[Hero in a half shell]

I think you should expand on those factions, nerdy people aren't the only ones using the internet anymore.
You should have the Social hipsters, (facebook/Twitter/obscure blogs etc.) the 12 year old Noobs (Youtube/Club Penguin/Multiplayer voice chat etc.) and any others people can think of.

I'll be part of the Home Guard

Spoiler

Staying at homebase to keep morale up with my incredibly vast but vague knowledge of pop culture. And if any 5th Columnists try and sabotage our Website from within I'll be waiting with Schwarzenegger quotes and spellcheck to drive them back out again.

Also we'll need a battlecry, that's very important.

"Through words and war, our music is your screams."

Maybe?

But I agree on the groups, they will be expanded as seen fit!

 

[Doclector]

Well, screw that list of groups. I'd form my own. "The coalition of the wierd"

That wierd part of youtube, creepypastas, what has been seen cannot be unseen, disturbing fan art, crazy conspiracies, all the mindfuck the internet has to offer under one banner of madness. We will force or trick them all to see the glory of infinite insanity, and the internet will be unififed in endless laughter. MUHAHAHAHAAA!

My role? A linker to insanity. I shall trick and intrigue people into seeing what cannot be unseen, and then they will join our ranks.

Spoiler: but seriously, I'd join the escapist army. You guys are great.

Spoiler

HAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAA! JOIN USSSS!

You sure you want to do that?

Maniacs don't have a good track record of winning wars/keeping the peace

 

[yeti585]

my response:
But I'd join the people of 4chan that want to be left alone. We'd create a rebellion to uphold our anarchist state in which we would seclude ourselves from everyone else and post pictures of cars, bicycles, food, origami, etc.

Maniacs don't have a very good record of caring, either.
