Most of you chads and kings long for the bygone era of a few guys sitting across the room, sipping scotch, smoking cigars, making random comments about women and also engaging in productive conversation.

Gone are those days, now all you get is huddling around pink haired bisexuals and s calling each other comrade in shrill pitched voices, (@pillowprincess suck my peepee) chastising your manhood and finding the most God awful books in existence, chanting it in unison as if to unleash some magic spell.

Well, fear not my friend.

Vote any book from below. I'll select the name with the highest vote. Then give you the notes on the essential facts for the first 100 pages 9 days from now (Friday next week) and on each Friday thereafter.

As soon as a book is completed, the book with the 2nd highest votes will be started or a new auction will be floated on the last day of the current book.

NOOOO. STOP WITH P2W SHIT AND GIVING MORE PERKS. Holy shit man. Do you not listen AT ALL? Nobody fricking wants MORE PERKS and p2w shit for EoD. We dont want MORE exclusive p2w shit like crafts, skill increases, faster insurance returns, or more trader item limits. FRICK. OFF. WITH. THAT. SHIT.  Good god man. Unique dogtag? Cool. Unique clothing? Cool. But frick off with these bonuses and unique items that have gameplay affect. WE DONT WANT MORE OF THAT!!! And delete. I repeat. DELETE THE DISTRESS SIGNAL. REMOVE IT. NOBODY WANTS THIS. GET RID OF IT. GET FRICKING RID OF IT.Also personal opinion: I fricking hate that Unheard edition is cultist themed. Hardest (and rarest) bosses in the game with long questlines that require killing them, collecting their knives, and even an achievement that requires killing them with their own knife... but no jacket as the reward. Nope. No cool cultist themed rewards for completing hard quests about cultists. Instead just be a fricking pay pig and dish out ... (2)

Most of these morons know better, they have hundreds if not thousands of hours in tarkov and know full well any item you get in the higher edition of the game served almost no purpose for giving you an advantage.What is the first thing thats going to happen to a brand new player who buys EOD thinking they are getting an advantage? they equip their level 4 gear and decked out M4, go into a raid and die never finding the exit or to a player running pistol that has played 3k hours and knows exactly where your noob as is going to pop out.The real reason people are pissed is because they purchased EOD thinking they get everything and then something better comes along with more goodies, if BSG had come out and said they were upgrading EOD and never mentioned unheard edition people would have been like awesome, would not have been a complaint in the room bro they would eat it up.Now dont get me wrong, EOD was suppose to be the best version of the game, we already paid for everything as pro...

I don't know where you get the idea you know better than me about the "real reason" why I'm pissed. But I don't have EOD so obviously you're wrong there.And yeah, EOD was always P2W, that's why it was always problematic. So no, them saying they were going to make EOD even more P2W would not have been fine by me, even if they weren't lying sacks of shit about it during its rollout.I don't know what's so difficult to comprehend about not wanting P2W. I don't care how you rationalize it as "pay for convenience" or "they'll quickly lose all that gear anyway." I don't care. It's dumb shit for shitters, and doesn't belong in this (or any other multiplayer) game. So yeah, as long as they keep adding this dumb shit, nothing else they do to right the wrongs will be good enough. Absolute fantasy world thinking that's going to happen anyway given their behavior. You think they found the guy yet that edited their website in only the way that was conveniently helpful to their ongoing scam?You ev... (1)

We're in a better position now, than we were at the beginning of this shit show. How did not one of you see this coming? You know our community, we're passionate and vocal. There is no way you didn't see this coming, I just can't believe you'd think this UnHeard edition was a genuinely a good idea. You added game altering mechanics with this ($250!!!!!!) version of the game. I mean my God, wtf we're you thinking? We were open to micro transactions, as long as they weren't predatory and ptw. However, in one swoop you add both in a single edition of the game. I mean darn it had to be intentional, right? Yeah, you've adjusted but you still took a mile (shit, 10 miles and dialed it back to a 5). This still doesn't address a lot of the scummy practices. You really tainted your own game and pissed away most of the goodwill you had been earning over the past year. "Let's see what we can get away with." had to of been said at least once in the office.This blew up more than Unity charging an... (1)

>Lifelong coomer who was only spurred on to continue writing or living so as to look at young girls

Too mystic for the IRA-types he postured as, too learnèd for the bumkins he would imitate, too effete to score, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature because someone from Ireland needed to win it, and his Prius was laden with the most pro-Ireland bumper stickers.

Lacking the lyricism or earthiness of Robert Burns, the erudition or cats of Eliot, the humor or bussy of Wilde, or even actual voice or coherence of Lady Gregory, Yeats makes up for this all by just sorta being a weird loser geek talking gibberish nobody cares about.

Truly, he is a man for all seasons. He is literally me.

It's fairly obvious that both the British Empire and the United States have contributed to establishing English as the Lingua Franca. Anyone who denies that both are responsible is being bias and arguing in bad faith.

BAD FAITH aside, this is one of the less r-slurred takes.

We had a hard empire and a soft empire. We still have the Soft empire.

Some rocks off the coast of Argentina aren't really a "soft empire"

I wouldn't call the Falklands an act of colonialism. There was nobody on the rock til some British people moved out there

Que opinan, boludos ? !latinx

As a Bulgarian who learned English to be able to understand movies that have not been legally released in Bulgaria - this is it.

American culture did contribute a great deal and I'm not going to pretend that it didn't.

Other europeen chimes in that, yeah, it's because America.

Right, but where did the US get its language from? Did the English language there arise separately? The source of the language not one of its users, is the reason some of the world, speaks English.

As if Americans aren't just as much the descendants of the originators of English as Bongs.

An old man has a farm and many sons, one still lives in the farm, the others murdered and stole moved into a nicer new place, is the guy in the farm somehow more responsible for what the old man did than the other sons?

Yeah this is so obviously true i have no idea why this is on this sub.

Others agree that yeah, it's the US.

Because it's silly to credit an inheritor of a language (the US didn't create the English language) with spreading said language. The Brits spread the language to the American continent. It's like if Japan managed to make baseball popular in other parts of Asia, because it's popular in Japan. It's still an American invention. Not a Japanese one. The sport would be popular across asia because Americans invented it, not the Japanese.

This Scot is having a fricking meltdown.

It cannot unfortunately be denied that American culture plays a big part in the further anglofication of the world.

No shit, right? Not to Scrooge McCuck:

Except it's entirely based on what the British Empire did. And it's hardly as if the UK simply stopped producing content in 1775.

The biggest media properties in the world are all British, not American except for movies, of which the two biggest are largely filmed in the UK (SW and Marvel) and have a huge amount of British actors in them too. Even then 3 of the biggest movie franchises are British (HP / LOTR / Bond).

Biggest band in history? The Beatles, most popular book series in the world? Harry Potter, most popular author in history? Shakespeare, most widely watched television show in the world? Top Gear, most widely watched sports league? The Premier League, most widely watched sport? Football, followed by cricket, both British.

People overplay American influence and underplay British influence to an INSANE degree.

Lol and what are the other 7 on the Top 10? The top 4 are all American. It's fricking goyslop--but darn it, it's American goyslop.

English Empire did it. Not often in a good way, often destroying history and culture. All the US has done is distort the spellings, ruin jokes and populariise English as the choices for films.

Lol. You must be one of those creepy Americans, with a gun in your bed and a flag as your quilt cover. You have no sense of reality. If only you had a real education. One that involves experiencing many views and cultures. Enjoy your online anger, it's made me smile.

As if that isn't cool as frick.

Not even. A billion Indians and Africans spoke English before American culture had made a dent. The spread of English happened before 1920. American culture wasn't a real force until the 1950s. Americans speak English because of empire for gods sake

lol a Billion Africans and Indians didn't speak English before WW2.

Americans speak English because they're Anglos, lmao.

Do you think that British influence stopped after 1957? The UK is one of, often the most influential power in the world in terms of soft power. Still to this day this is true.
