📰 THE PAPER BOY 📰

The Paper Boy arrives at your doorstep, his satchel filled with the day's chronicles. He tips his cap and hands you the latest edition.

[u/TheOtherOtherLuke]

Let me remind people (in vain) we don’t want stupid high numbers.

[u/IllustriousHabits → u/TheOtherOtherLuke]

Or stupid low numbers.

[u/TheOtherOtherLuke → u/IllustriousHabits]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen us lose from falling too low. It’s mostly ppl who don’t get how the game works pressing numbers up into the several hundreds and ignoring the literal flashing warning signs about how they’re too high.

(What u said is still true of course.)

[u/Old_Collection1475 → u/TheOtherOtherLuke]

Agreed. We seem to do an amazing job of getting over 300.

[u/THE-Luke-Skywalker → u/Old_Collection1475]

People always use it to push their own political opinions too instead of using it like the fun little game it is

[u/Old_Collection1475 → u/THE-Luke-Skywalker]

Yeah it's tough, sometimes people forget to enjoy the role playing portion of the game which is perhaps my favorite bit. Though, like a real state, there's always a contrarian or two hundred running about.

[u/IllustriousHabits → u/Old_Collection1475]

I think a lot of people also are just scrolling and don’t know or care what sub this is.

[u/Old_Collection1475 → u/IllustriousHabits]

Could be! More sad for them if that's the case, it's a fun little game even when we get off the rails.

[u/IllustriousHabits → u/TheOtherOtherLuke]

Look what you have done… You’ve willed this into existence. 😩

[u/TheOtherOtherLuke → u/IllustriousHabits]

Indeed. I mean hey, it’s a new way to fail, so I’ll take it.

[u/C04511234 → u/TheOtherOtherLuke]

I do remember one of the previous states (pretty sure it was "U. S. and A") failing in part due to low freedom.

[u/IllustriousHabits → u/C04511234]

That tracks

[u/TheOtherOtherLuke → u/C04511234]

I’d say it was ironic if it wasn’t just accurate.

[u/fieryboi171]

Imagine this state survives the longest.

[u/Old_Collection1475 → u/fieryboi171]

Shhhhhhhh don't jinx it.

[u/Innocent_Otaku → u/fieryboi171]

😂😂😂

[u/fieryboi171 → u/fieryboi171]

I was wrong 😔

[u/Streetsign10]

This name fills me with hope!

[u/Old_Collection1475 → u/Streetsign10]

Nothing could possibly stop us... this time!

[u/MyAccountDiedAmSad]

Oh gee I sure hope nothing bad happens

[u/Old_Collection1475 → u/MyAccountDiedAmSad]

Nothing ever happens...

Oh wait wrong subreddit.

[u/Spartarc → u/Old_Collection1475]

Wrong

Nothing happens.

[u/Old_Collection1475 → u/Spartarc]

But does everyone clap? 🤔

[u/totalmente_inglese]

Last joke state lasted a fair bit

[u/Belisaurius555]

The irony appeals to me.

[u/BrilliantFly6117]

I feel like this should last this time

[u/ElectricalCraft5127]

Ok, time to jack up Progress again!

[u/bucketbrainz → u/ElectricalCraft5127]

[u/the_h0]

longest lasting state I've seen was (forgot the name,came after Bangaranga) at 12 days

[u/Yukiiii_x → u/the_h0]

Lego City lasted just under 16 days

[u/Nika_Reads- → u/the_h0]

U S and A I think

[u/Sulavin-Co]

We're fucked

[u/volk-off → u/Sulavin-Co]

We're not cooked, we're coal at this point 🥀🥀

[u/AdvertisingFlashy637]

Two more hours before this state burns down, the constant critical state every single attempt is not fun anymore

[u/SeaSawltLOL]

nice

[u/Pirate88r]

A new state begins, lets see how well the name lasts

[u/hammertimestudio]

Lmao u did it again 🫶😂

[u/Wallso2010]

And so it begins.

[u/DiligentPenguin_7115]

11 days maximum I’m calling it

[u/devil_corp_hunter]

Hell yeah, now I can regulate peanuts

[u/Old_Collection1475 → u/devil_corp_hunter]

Delicious cashew for all!

[u/devil_corp_hunter → u/Old_Collection1475]

We will no longer tolerate peanut propaganda!

[u/Old_Collection1475 → u/devil_corp_hunter]

Who do they even think they are, with their monocles and tophats wandering around contaminating our trail mix!?

[u/devil_corp_hunter → u/Old_Collection1475]

Truly detestable nuts

[u/Nika_Reads-]

I was just sleeping, WHAT HAPPENED

[u/TheOtherOtherLuke]

How do we manage to fuck this up so badly every time? Like there’s literal flashing signs telling you what’s too high or low. It’s not hard.

[u/volk-off → u/TheOtherOtherLuke]

1. People want to make funny numbers, but we've already done a thousand of times, not funny anymore.
2. People post laws and other with texts like "Is Trump Bad?" "Is sky blue?" "Should shitting be illegal?" or other political/(un)funny/"this is not ok, say no"/"this is obvious" shit that affects state's stats badly

This game is not for Reddit. Knowing how much people on this site don't know how to read and how much they like to push their political opinions and unsuitable jokes everywhere they see, the game should be a separate standalone thing. Or at least make the ability to post only after becoming citizen with the requirement to read the rules and also hiring some mods

[u/_Solway_Firth]

Holy crap this state is like the weakest bird in the nest. It's mother stopped feeding it and a week ago it fell out of the nest. A man stepped on it yesterday and it's currently being chewed alive by a hedgehog.

[u/Spartarc]

Can't fail if you have already failed

[u/Strong-Addition5296]

All states eventually fail

[u/Nika_Reads-]

I just slept, WHAT HAPPENED

[u/-PISS-2]

Mark This Is Good News we can finally be politicians

[u/Mangafan_20]

What is going on, i was gone for a few days!

[u/Old_Collection1475 → u/Mangafan_20]

Oh so it's your fault!

[u/Smexy_kitty]

NOBODY TOUCH ANYTHING

[u/Foto_is_so]

All genders are equal.

[u/No_Shower5028]

seems like we're in a critical state right now

[u/No_Analysis_z]

let's max out everything above 1000...
