Spoiler: So much OOC that deserves a spoiler (click to show/hide)

There are two things that maybe you should know:
1) My country is so irrational that we sold the state company that exploited oill to foreigners, then we expropiated it back last year saying that there was not enough inversions and that we should defend energetic sovereignty, then made a contract with a foreing company to exploit our oil for us, including secret clauses, so that the people couldn't know the share that we are giving them. All this was supported by the same people (Out current president was a senator when we sold it)
2) I had already seen news about some veterans breaking into a national park and that stuff. The main thing that I just couldn't believe was how people weren't even allowed to be on the street.

So, as I live in a whole different world, where politicians just bypass laws at will and there is no medium-term plan, I felt that maybe the other extreme could be so structured to reach a simmilar situation

((Proud to be Canadian.... Personally, the sarcasm/ironic exaggeration was clear to me, but I didn't understand what it was about... something about the legal system being ****?))

((Cliff Notes from someone who hasn't been paying as much attention to the news as he wants to be: The government didn't cut spending enough, so a bunch of stuff that the lawmakers weren't directly affected by is shutting down to cut expenses until it gets under control.))

((Argentina. Southermost contry of Latin America. Home of the current pope, birthplace of the worldwide known soccer players Messi and Maradona, and also birthplace of a bunch of scientists who earned prizes for other countries because of the lack of opportunities here, and not much more. Maybe you know us because of the Falkland islands issue with England, I don't know what else to say))

Spoiler: I don't want to clutter FFS thread (click to show/hide)

To conmemorate the wife of a very famous past president (Eva Perón), it was decided that a bunch of money-paper with her face wes going to be printed. These were going to have the same value as other pre-existent ones, but a minister said that they were not supposed to replace the other ones. The next day (or week, at most), the president officially introduced them, saying that they would eventually replace the old ones. There is a lack of communication even inside our own goverment.
What was the actual motive of all of this? Well, mainly, we have an inflation rate of about 25% each year, but the official statistics show only 10%. Our goverment finances himself printing money, but doesn't want to admit that we have inflation problems. What do all this new brand of currency have to do with all? Well, there was so much printed money that there weren't more serial numbers, so the goverment had to either create more money with a higher nominal value, or implement a new system to numerate them. As either way implied admitting that there was inflation, they decided to print this pseudo-conmemorative money.
And you think that the word will end when you enter into default. We have a crisis every 20 years and we are still alive. Hyperinflation, massive devaluations, defaults, we have survived it all. So, don't worry abot that budget problem the world will survive.

"Eep!" Mowsalyn eep'd, as her body hit the water with ratmendous splash-which was to say, very small.

She began rat-paddling slowly to the dock. Of her skills, swimming wasn't her best...

Action: Paddle to dry land before I get eaten by a bubba or something.

Sir Bigglesworth's paladin senses tingle, alerting him to a most foul presence just down at the docks. He walks. He arrives. He gazes upon the beast.

"Forsooth! Back with thee from whence thou camest and so on! I shall not allow thee to lay hand on my team, for even if they are stinking and of indeterminate gender, they are my team forevermore!"

Charge in and headbutt the satanspawn in its gut.

Nice new avatar, by the way.

Shame if someone were to...Photoshop it?

Why no, I don't think it's pretentious to make self-referential memes, why do you ask?

I dunno we could keep bumping, but FFS could keep posting that image of him being buried...so, I sense we're at an impasse...

In other news, I would really like to do a game in this fashion in the MK universe-perhaps even a SPINOFF.

Minus all the cool art, of course.
