    So today was the first day of band camp. Sadly, no bronies. Makes me sad. I wore my shirt and everything, but nobody acknowledged it. On the bright side, everybody likes me it seems.

    Yeah, I have yet to ever meet a single brony irl, so don't feel alone.

     

    Also this:

    Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing on Rainbows!

    I see (and hate you for) what you did there

     

    Whooves, I had no intention of bringing up pasty meaty memories. Frankly, I couldn't remember which horribly grotesque fanfic reading that thing was from. I just remembered how well it went with the concept and decided it would fit perfectly as an Addendum to my post.

     

    Flutershy buck you

     

    DAFUQ MAN?! I sincerely didn't mean it. I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be a dick and I don't want to piss you off. Seriously, it was not my intention whasoever.

     

    Shiny, you don't get it... you'd have to see the vid. Ask Whooves to link it if you really want to. But it is really sick shit.

    Lol. I'm also not talented. The extent of my contribution to the community is snidely telling Shiny all the things that are wrong with his fic, but being helpful enough while doing so that he doesn't tell me to piss off. I call this process 'editing'.

    I think my goal in life now is to invent a movie where, if some dumbass yells any kind of warning at the characters, they will actually heed them, which will immediately ruin the movie, and everyone in the audience will either administer beatings to the person at fault, or else shame him or her without mercy. They would hopefully learn their lesson.

    I can't believe my friend will spew such impressive levels of bullshit about my other friend and expect me to side with her. I've lost all my respect for this person. Not necessarily angry, but disappointed. Severely disappointed that I misplaced my judgement in someone this badly. Shouting lies about someone and playing the victim is bad enough, but when she claimed he hit her and called the cops on him was going to far. I know this guy and violent is the last thing he is.

     

    To top off the levels of disappointment, so many people are buying her side of the story. If everyone just does what I did and look at this from a neutral stand point, they'll see what I did: a woman screaming any and every excuse to make herself look better, and a man shaking his head and muttering under his breath, "I can't believe she's going this far."

     

     

    sigh....

     

    Dose she like bananas?

    So, I've been playing some more Victoria II for the last few hours. This is a narrative of the last couple decades of in-game time. I've spoiler'd the whole thing because it's long-ish.

     

     

    After the truce with the Russian Empire, France had been left to stand alone against the united Germanic people of Europe. Their leaders panicking over the shocking change in fortune, they immediately tried to end the war with a decisive offensive through the narrow border with Germany, the only route left to them. Although the French had superiority in numbers, the North German Confederation found little difficulty in holding a single province, as it was not only heavily fortified, but the Germans had a sufficient pool of reservists that they were always able to keep fresh troops on the line. Casualties were heavy. Farmers were only able to stand against the well-trained French regulars because of sheer numbers. But their sacrifice was not in vain. The French assaults lasted for over a year, by which time the North German Confederation had rebuilt its remaining units, and raised more. Six full Korps stood, ready and eager to take revenge for the unprovoked aggression that had caused so many deaths throughout Europe. With their coasts blockaded by the French Navy, and war exhaustion climbing steadily higher, the Kaiser decided that the time to strike should be sooner, rather than later. Exactly two years after the beginning of hostilities, 162,000 elite German soldiers surged over the French border.

     

    It was a bloodbath. For all the fighting ability of Germany's finest, it was still one province, and the French had the same defender's advantage that had saved the Germans before. The breakthrough attempt cost 40,000 German lives, and probably half again as many French soldiers. But once the Germans had managed to pass through the bottleneck, fresh units replaced them, and they quickly began to carve a swath through the French armies, which by then had been reduced to reservists and isolated remnants of their pre-war standing force, no match for fresh and organized units. This stage of the war cost Germany dearly - two more of her elite armies took massive casualties, and were reassigned to garrison roles in the homeland. The remaining two that were still in fighting shape engaged and crushed the surviving French armies one by one, while reservists moved in to secure territory. Soon, they marched on Paris itself, which fell after a three week battle. France began to talk peace. Seeing a chance to finally secure Germany's future, and not forgetful of the initial French demands for German territory, the Germans would accept no less than the province of Alsace-Loraine. They were delighted when the French proved accepting of these demands.

     

    After the war ended, the German Empire was formed immediately by the unification of the North German Confederation and the German Minor countries that had stood at its side during the war. Since then, the new empire has become one of the most prominent powers in the world, with a military and industrial base only bested by France and Britain, countries that had already possessed great empires long before Prussia even existed. Although The German Empire had been forged from a glorious victory, it had cost her dearly. The military had already been worn down before the war in conflict with Austria over the right to be the leader of "German Hegemony", and the campaigns in France and Russia had all but shattered it. On top of that, in her quest to become a single state, Germany had made enemies of almost every major player in Europe. She was surrounded by enemies, her military was in ruins, and her position in Europe was vulnerable. Fortunately, the powers that be seemed reluctant to fight another war with Germany, apparently discouraged by the sharp defeat that had been handed to them, despite all odds. Despite the grave situation, the worst did not happen, and Germany, young but powerful, slowly began to rebuild.

     

    Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the new German Empire, 14 years after the War of Unification.
