[Interactive] Rule The Internet - General

(Gonna do this using that internet map.) This is Facepunch, and its moon, Boardgame-online.com. Facepunch might seem big here, but it is but a dot in millions, among giants and dwarves. In order to spread Facepunch's influence far across the internet, you must collectively overcome the unique powers of each site as you plow your path to the top. You must use your creativity and defeat each site using what you have by scouting out Facepunch and other controlled sites. Let's start (Continued below) [quote] [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/TLdYyx.png[/IMG] [/quote] At current you only control Facepunch.com. Each division of Facepunch has its own benefits and needs, some of the major ones and their roles are listed below: [B]FAST THREADS[/B] - A lawless place held together by individually governed thread-states. The most powerful is LMAO threads, which serves as a major importer of funny content from various regions of the internet, they bring much of facepunch's funds in. Users from this thread are generally experienced in Inter-website travel. [B]GENERAL DISCUSSION[/B] - A place of manpower and intellectuals, this section makes up the backbone of Facepunch, serving all of its manual needs. [B]MASS DEBATE[/B] - The core think tank. Although GD serves as a moderately intellectual section, Mass Debate provides the bulk of your diplomats, and is the place to go in order to find intellectuals. [B]SENSATIONALIST HEADLINES[/B] - These guys are your core scanning and probing function. They can search far and wide for the information you need and often find the location of very specific websites, although typically the results are quite sensationalized -- a flaw due to its composition of Autistic, pimply children (sobotnik) [B] IN THE NEWS NODE [/B]- These are your auxiliary scouting/info functions. Their search is limited to a small range, but their info is typically spot-on accurate. [B]GENERAL GAMES DISCUSSION[/B] - This is your secondary-major trade & efficiency caste, to say the least. They know what's goin' and all the ins and outs of what makes games -- a popular commodity among the internet -- good. ------------------ In order to start colonizing the internet, you have to send an envoy to the site you wish to colonize. Currently, you can only see Boardgame-online.com (due to you not having scanned for anything), your moon, currently not controlled. It can be assumed that Boardgame-online.com is loyal to you, so just send an envoy, and they'll likely join you. Generally, you can automatically overpower sites smaller than you, but ones of equal size or larger will be harder to face. What do you do now?

Take the moon over, then take 9GAG over. Should be easy, since there's only little kids there.

Scout fast threads, sensationalist headlines, and in the news for a relatively easy website to dominate. (*cough* 9gag *cough*) Use the "think tank" to turn facepunch into [url=http://totalannihilation.wikia.com/wiki/Core_Prime] Core Prime.[/url] [editline]6th June 2013[/editline] Use OIFY and GDi's massive shitlord powers to distract and/or mentally fuck any invading enemy. (Planetary defence) [editline]6th June 2013[/editline] Elect Zombie_2371 as an admiral of Facepunch's fleet/turn him into the planet's AI. [editline]6th June 2013[/editline] Ping 192.168.0.2

Start researching terrible weapons like viruses and spambots.

Send an envoy to boardgame-online.com

[I]An envoy is sent to boardgame-online.com. They gladly join your empire, and all you recieve is some shitty comedic boardgame maker. Your trade value is boosted by this. what now?[/I] [editline]7th June 2013[/editline] You can zoom out btw

Well then zoom the fuck out, and get Sensationalist Headlines on the task to find something midsized for us to conquer. [editline]7th June 2013[/editline] Also get GD to start manufacturing weapons and Fast Threads to increase trade input to fund GD.

Take over & destroy all furry websites.

[QUOTE=maximizer39v2;40936524]Take over & destroy all furry websites.[/QUOTE] I don't have much of an issue with furrys just as they don't try and shove it onto me, because I've seen too many good people been run off websites for having tastes that other don't necessary like such as furrys.

Get the think tank to start creating a fire wall around facepunch to prevent l337 h4x0rZ

Locate the internets biggest forum, Gaia Online and see if there's anything going on there that is relevant to you

So, Do we just make a large tentacle creature named either 4chan or anonymous wrapped around each website?

Inflantrate flashgames247.com and then take it over to boost ze economy

I think Milkdairy forgot that he made this.

Nope. I'm honestly wondering what to do while still imposing the limits I had in mind for randomly conquering any site, but I think I'll get an update out soon. Each site has a physical location on the map, so it's not so easy as trotting right across one side of the internet to conquer every furry site known to man.

We earn points from website visitors, and we can use those points for DDoS attacks, or invasions, or whatever. Then, we earn more points with traffic redirected to us and/or owning another site. Please continue this, it's awesome.

Hmm. Good idea, actually. How do you think we could resolve battles? A roll?

[QUOTE=Milkdairy;41035440]Hmm. Good idea, actually. How do you think we could resolve battles? A roll?[/QUOTE] If anything, this would go amazing as a risk thread on 4chan. Anyway, yeah, a roll would be good. screenshot the roll or random.org it. As we lvl up, our min and max goes up.

Send an envoy to Facebook, and pray to god that Mark Zuckerberg doesn't declare war on us. Chances are, we will not be able to take over Facebook, but a powerful ally would be useful.

Facebook.com accepts an alliance with you, although its preteen filled, trend following community, eager to whore themselves around with their vast albums of pics don't find much care to Facepunch.com. A valuable market for "sexy fb pics" opens up, boosting your wealth, and as per Facepunch's new hastag system, the hashtags #whatisafacepunch #idcaboutfacepunch become trending.

I think we should try to get the most expansional force existing on the internet to join our side, I'm of course, talking about Polish folks, who are known for taking over youtube videos if they get mentioned in some popular polish video. Let's try to ally with wykop.pl.

Make asteroids as DDOS attacks

Send an envoy to Google.com

Try to find some moderate online language translator.
