Evil genius two is confirmed in the works


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I feel like it's going to be more awesome than Evil Genius 1!

Also I'm back!

[Brisky]

Well, hello there, flyboi!

How was your millitary thing, thingy?

I'm not shure how they call it in the UK... >?>

[TenOfSwords]

That seems close enough

It was OK. However, I am a higher rank than many of the other cadets right now, so I can give them orders. So, on the way to dinner I was in charge of a squad of 8 people (4 great friends, 2 ok friends, 2 other guys), all of whom were lower ranks than me. So when I march them to the canteen, they should just shut up and march, yeah? Well, 4 of them decided to just muck around and do their own thing.

Ok, I'm starting to rant now...

[Brisky]

Eh... You wouldn't be the only one guilty of ranting here!

And, yeah, rank doesn't mean anything, unfortunately... (or luckily)

You need to establish your leadership, and make shure you've got a little consequence ready for those who don't follow your order. Be strict, put up a loud voice, make shure you stand nice and firm! Sometimes, that's unfortunately just what it takes to be a leader. or just let someone drop out, and let an actual angry drill sargeant chew them out, if that's what it takes!

I was on a something like that too, when I was a little kid. Basically, think of it as if the boy scouts had a lovechild with the Dutch navy. Me, being the smart kid, climbed the ranks with a decent little phase, but it didn't take me long to find out that rank, or brains didn't mean anything, if you had nothing to enforce it with, wich is probably where I learnt to pull off my dreaded "[REDACTED] off, and die" attitude, that I very occaisionally use to scare of annoying, or even treathening people...

I guess the weird thing about everything over there, was that, unlike the boyscouts, almost everybody was a little bit sick in the head, over there, and constantly acted like assholes to each other pretty much all the time...

The "officers", people that ran the boat (yes, it litterally was a ship, wich could actually move and stuff), and supervised the children, pretty much got tired of keeping them all from being mean to eachother, soo they just decided that they'd go ahead and stop interveining, slowly letting the place slip into chaos. The end result was that some poor kid was pushed of a 4 metre drop, on a steel dinghy. Wich was just about the time where I decided that I'd much rather leave...

I found a job, after that! Like, little 14 year old me, managed to get a job all on his own, where I actually got payed with real money!

Guess where I had more fun, and found people I actually liked hanging out, and working with? Yep, you guessed right! My little job, at the little supermarket, at a little town called "Bloemendaal"! (Flowerdale)

Go figure, eh?

I remember when my brother was doing his mandatory military training thing a few years ago.
Swedish-speaking people are all trained 15 minutes from where I live, so he used to stop by for a visit every now and then when he had the evenings off.
He'd ring the doorbell and put on this really heavily exaggregated German accent when I opened.


And once, he sent me a picture from his room, where another guy who shared it had set up a tiny camping table and was having a small private tea-party or whatever.
The most surreal thing I've ever seen.




I also tried to ask my brothers boots out on several occasions, but apparently the left one and the right one were in a closed and committed relationship with each other.
How sad.


Which reminds me I should check the surplus store in case they'd happen to have woof-sized boots >->

[TenOfSwords]

@Brisky Yeah, I'd figure that having a job would be more fun than being surrounded by idiots on a boat

However, in my school's CCF, rank does mean stuff. i.e., "anyone with a higher rank than you can tell you to do basically anything and complaining would not be healthy for you". I feel like I should just tell one of the officers, so I should do that a.s.a.p.

Also, we were all told that we were to clean the tables after eating. Each group should clean their own tables, yes?

I cleaned 26 tables, and cleared one. Because nobody could be bothered.

[Brisky]

Ten, I'm sorry, m8, but you're litterally doing the two worst things that one could do in your situations!

NEVER EVER, DO OTHER'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES!

Trust me, it's only going to make things worse, if they find out they can just get away with it!

And, second, never go complain to a higher-up to do the punishing for you, unless you absolutely have to!

As a leader, you need to be respected... That won't come from some higher-up shoving it down your subordinates throat! Try to establish it yourself, and only if that absolutely doesn't work, you should go see an officer...

@Cz

Yeah, I've heard people in the millitary are actually really fun company!

Seen a lot of Matsimus' videos, and they almost made me consider joining the British army, for a little bit!

Wich makes me even more confused as to why the other kids at that thing I was talking about were soo [REDACTED] up. I mean, the boyscouts are doing allright, aren't they? :\

[TenOfSwords]

Thanks for the advice, Brisky! I'll be sure to remember that for future uses!

[Cheza]

Apparently the copy-protection on M05 camo-print has run out.
They're selling M05 print fabric of all varieties by the meter.
BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD ALL DAY!!!!

_{(The shorts Chezawoof wears in the reference sheet use M05 cold weather pattern.
Because I liked the idea of putting a winter pattern on summer clothing. Now, to get my grabby dirty paws on some of that stuff... >->)}

[Brisky]

Do a Cheza in full standard issue Finnish millitary kit! DO IT!

And, @Ten

Make shure to not go to overboard with things!

Because, they kinda are still your classmates, after all, and we wouldn't want any fighting to happen, now, would we?

[TenOfSwords]

Not necessarily classmates, but I get your point.

And that does sound like a good idea, a Finnish military woof Cheza!

[Brisky]

Wait, they're not your classmates?

[TenOfSwords]

Yeah, most of them aren't even in my school year. I don't even think even 10 of them share any lessons with me.

[Brisky]

Lol, in that case go full Sgt. Hartman on them!

This is your chance!

(As long a you don't make life hell for 'em, eh? )

[TenOfSwords]

I'll be sure to do that... wait, is that a reference to something? I have no idea.
