Like I don't mean to be overdramatic, but this is straight up the end of the American century

It’s the fact that Americans have 0 idea how important it is that America has so many Allie’s around the world that Trump is just now cutting off one by one for absolutely no reason because he failed to communicate.

Yeah, it's basic diplomacy. America would lose badly in Sid Meyer's Civ right now.

Anyway remittances from the US account for 3% of Colombia's GDP so a single deportation flight is pretty devastating to their national economy. And the threats worked immediately

https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/01/26/trump-colombia-deportation-flights-migrants-tariffs/

So we are thankfully not going to be deprived of all the many things Colombia exports here. I don't know what those things are besides coffee and cocaine but X (formerly Twitter) informs me it's a lot and very important. Crisis averted.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Last time, on LPC4DoCF, the Roman Empire had started to fracture. It's 624AD and after a barbarian onslaught, the Kingdom of France declared itself independent. We reconquered Clermont and spared them. Egypt and the Levant have seceded and joined the rising Abbasid Caliphate. Not on our watch

First and foremost. Per @Ubie request I am starving the Irish to death. They get one cow pasture as a food source until I build a mine for them to toil in and the rest are to work directly on building boats until they perish.

Our stability is now Shaky now that the Golden Age is over and done with. Expansion and Economy is not negative, but not good. Foreign is bad of course (it always is) and Military is suffering a little because of our barbarian wars. Domestic is our only saving grace as we have compatible, modern civics and Catholic religious unity.

We have room to expand. Obviously. We just lost most of our eastern territories

Most of my army in this territory got evacuated to Knossos in Crete. I don't have means to transport them yet so they're on a little island vacation for now.

A long time ago I conquered the Kingdom of Nubia, rivals of Aksum. Aksum were pretty ungrateful little b-words about it, but it's been good land and it's now really paying off for me. Nubia did not secede, so some of my troops were able to evacuate there. This gives me an opportunity to quickly retake Egypt from the south.

First turn and with our cavalry we've already retaken Waset, the holy city of Islam. Easy! Muslims btfo

Oh wait

Oh holy mother of Christ

I now know what it feels like to be on the other end of a "Stack of Doom"

Our reinforcements land, but it's not enough. I'm going to die

But suddenly they pull back. I send my spies to take a look.

All the beautiful Roman Roads we built are being used by the enemy, and apparently they got distracted by Persia. Thank the Lord. This will give us time to retake Egypt and regroup our army.

One of our missions to the Mande finally succeeds, so we have another Catholic civilization along with us and the French.

St. Peter's Basilica in Roma serves as the Apostolic Palace from the base game, which is basically the religious medieval U.N. We control the Pope basically, so we have influence over diplomacy in the Catholic world. Since there's actually a Catholic presence in the world now, we can put something to a vote. We call for a crusade against the Abbasid.

Neither of them want this, but with our control over the religion they don't actually get a say. The crusade is on.

We can even team up with our ancient frenemies of Persia. We've always been in something of a cold war with them, but Turkey is a bulwark to Greece, so helping reinforce their cities is in our interest. Plus our espionage network in Dorylaion has been pretty valuable

Our espionage reveals that after some butting of heads their military strength is about equally matched with Persia, overall. And we are way stronger than them in totality They just have their army consolidated.

FINALLY the lazy butt Persians research Civil Service and cause us to fail the third Historic condition. Reminder this is intentional, I want a Space victory.

Civil Service was the only technology I had available to research at this point so it's about time.

We've helped them out so much that they're now pretty advanced, technologically ahead of schedule and researching stuff we don't have. With our spies in Dorylaion we can just steal anything they discover thoughbeit

By the time the Arabs return with a host of Ghazi we're ready for them, we've retaken Egypt and reinforced the army. They have a slight terrain advantage but we can soften them up with our gunpowder artillery

We're victorious With a Great General too

After having researched Commune we can now have this guy build an "Armory" as well to speed up production. Roma is still benefiting from the Flavian Ampitheater so we're going to build on there and churn out superbombards and supercavalry

^^^lol he's clipping into the background

Harun al-Rashi is now willing to sue for peace. He's willing to offer us Jerusalem unharmed or even convert to Catholicism. Some intriguing options here but no We're conquering these frickers and taking Mesopotamia.

We're going to have more problems to deal with though

The Moors are about to spawn in Iberia as well.

I haven't seen one of these unique civ spawning warning messages yet, I think they only show for civilizations in your vicinity (maybe I missed the French one?). It doesn't really make sense here if the Arabs hadn't conquered North Africa and the Umayyad Dynasty don't exist. but whatevs the messages are really cool

Regardless, we're about to be beset on both sides by muslims

As well as Christians

Again... Muslim control? but again

I have an army in the west ready to fight these both the Spaniards and the Moors, but... I'm going to let them go

In fact...

France is mechanically capable of becoming a vassal now, but capitulation is tricky. You need to batter an enemy into submission in a war until they feel it is hopeless. Unfortunately we don't have much room if France has two cities - if we conquer Bordeaux and besiege Paris and they refuse to capitulate, we're kinda stuck.

Right now they won't voluntarily swear fealty because we're "too powerful". Pretty sure they will still capitulate if forced.

Spain is still in the "Rise of the Spanish" and can develop for now. When the "Rise of the Spanish" event is over I might invade and try to get them to capitulate. If they go to war with the Moors first I'll join them. The Moors usually build an Islam specific wonder in Cordoba, if we can capture it it would rule.

So for now I'm going to let western Europe secede and develop independently, and the Catholic world are now all my friends

I liked Tarragona but the Silver mine it had is now exhausted so it's less valuable anyway. The one thing that sucks is that muslims now control the Strait of Gibraltar and west Mediterranean, so our mobility is reduced.

I'm focused on eastward expansion instead anyway.

We liberate Ohrmazd-Ardashir from Arab control for our Persiabros.

Gets us some brownie points, and the city was outside of our expansion zone and not really that desirable. If the map is coherent at all, yellow is a "Contested Zone" while red is strictly foreign. Agarum is the furthest south in our contested zone. The Abbasids are willing to surrender it peacefully at this point.

England is about to split. We'll gonna let them go too.

We're back to Stable. The economy has been a rollercoaster with our conquests but this has been offset by trade route buildings that start becoming available around medieval times. Most notably we now actually have Good Relations and positive foreign stability I didn't know such a thing was possible. I guess all the liberation has worked out

Before there are more European powers on the map, we may as well invade France now. The only other European nation is Spain and they don't like them that much, so they won't be annoyed.

Charlemagne probably thinks we're schizo

Success! France will now capitulate.

The Kingdom of France is now the "Province of Gaul". They are our semi-independent b-word, we can direct their research, they join our wars, and we can sometimes demand resources. With Bordeaux they will still be able to colonize. We'll just have to help them out in technology a little.

The Mali Empire will voluntarily vassalize as well, but unfortunately for our Malibros we don't really want them. There's only room for five vassal civilizations. We do want to maintain good relations though when the slave trade starts tho.

Spain has declared war on the Moors, so we'll take our army from France and join them to retake our western territory. They didn't get a chance to build any wonders, oh well.

We might as well make this into another crusade

IT'S ON

Reconquista time

As we retake land we start to get overextended. Time to whip neighbors and enact population control

Cordoba is defended by a Great General, Abd al-Mu'min. This is the first time we've actually gotten to fight one in combat.

Morocco goes down

And frick it, let's go take Hungary too, there's a nice gold mine

Right after Morocco's defeat this crazy b-word declares war on me

Apparently Spain is dead set on completing the Reconquista and Catholic Roman controlled Cordoba isn't good enough.

She's very stubborn and refuses negotiations even after I retake Tarragona and pillage the heck out of her land.

Only after taking her capital and forcing her to relocate her palace to Santiago does she surrender.

I was going to liberate Cordoba anyway She is now a vassal with France as the "Province of Hispania".

Islam has been thoroughly BTFO. There are no more muslim states in the world. The Moors are dead and the Arabians collapsed when Turks took Mecca. We now control from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Sudan and Iraq, with two vassal provinces.

We're Solid stability but getting a little too big for our britches and risking a correction. Fortunately I have a couple Great People I've been sitting on who can trigger another Golden Age should it be necessary.

Other rising threats are coming - I think the northern Italian city states are going to attempt to split off around 1100AD, and the Ottoman Empire is going to reconquer all my middle eastern gainz around the 1200s.

We already have technology to start exploring the New World but the Aztecs haven't even been born yet. That will have to wait until 1300~. I want Roman conquistadors

Part 6

There's so much to be done.

We're playing the turboneurodivergent Dawn of Civilization mod for Civilization IV that replicates world history. !g*mers

Part 1 Part 2

Part 3 Part 4

Part 5 Part 6

Everything is going cool, the Roman Empire is at its near peak historic borders.

I just settled my first Roman American colony in Columbia, South Carolina.

My Spanish vassals can now travel the ocean and have settled their first colony in Puerto Rico.

I've landed an explorer in Australia, the intrepid Down Under Dan, ready to traverse the outback.

I just hope all these mongols on my border aren't up to anything

FRICK

Ethiopia is vassal to the Mongols so they attack Nubia/Egypt. I really dislike these cute twinks

Kilwa (Swahili) are vassals to the Mongols as well, I was sending a boat to Africa to try to capture slaves for New World plantations, they can attack them instead.

And with 90%+ odds to survive the boat goes down Guess they're stuck there

I briefly forget how cavalry works and almost lose Khalpe

We successfully repel the main invasion force and get a new general in Rome, Traianus

Him and Scipio Africanus I send to the city Padua. @Ubie Promise I'll attach the next general and have him fight in the field I'm focused on getting Wonders built in Rome and Padua has strong production, I want to turn into a new military center, building a Military Academy as well.

Fun fact that blue southern tile I JUST NOW noticed is a "Lagoon" land tile and can be developed, not a coastal tile I really am bad at video games

The Mongols tank our stability basically just by existing. We have -10 Foreign due to Bad Relations and it's mostly their fault.

The Khan is ready to talk peace, then I screw it up and get greedy and unsuccessfully try to kill another one of his Keshik units

Next turn thoughever with a little more harassment towards him and his vassals he's open to talk again

No way he's pawning that piece of shit city off on me I counteroffer

And we are at peace

We can even go for a Defensive Pact now

Ultimately pointless because they collapse soon after

Then this region becomes independent Iran under the Safavid Shahdom

And the fall of the Mongols allows China to reform as the Tang Dynasty

We've researched Representation which advances us to the Industrial era (in 1424AD!) and gets us a new Great Statesman, Quintus Hortensius

These guys are new to DoC and I haven't really shown them off before but there's a few things we can do with them. They can "Resolve Crisis" and stop all city unrest empirewide, reform a government without revolution/anarchy, build an administrative center to reduce maintenance, or be settled for espionage and commerce. We're just gonna hang onto this guy for now.

We then research Scientific Method, obsoleting our religious monasteries and enabling the possibility for Secularism

Secularism even has its own religious victory if we wanted an Atheist World Order

As we are first to research we get a Great Scientist. We have enough different Great People now for another Golden Age if we want. We'll hold onto these people for now.

Clermont constantly revolts. France (Province of Gaul) is kinda unstable too and it's affecting my stability. Fortunately it's nowhere near as bad as it was when the Mongols were around.

I decide to liberate Clermont and help France out.

Down Under Dan has finished mapping out all of Australia. Beginning to settle our first colony.

Australia is rich with rare strategic resources, and since we destroyed England on accident, it's ours to colonize. We're starting with Adelaide.

It's of course outside our historic expansion zone but we can take the penalty. Australia is not a civilization yet ingame as well so it will never become independent nation. Tbh, Australia and South Africa as civilizations are currently the biggest gaps in the game imo, but it's still in development

We gain our first slave when Muscogee attempt to raid mines outside Columbia, and can put them to work at a Slave Plantation

It's hard to tell, but that sumovab-word is returning TWO full bags of commerce (10 )

Our stranded African raiding party is successful in tracking down some natives to enslave as well

^{(pls ignore that they are European heavy swordsman units, I think this is a cosmetic oversight)}

History is so fun

Slaves are pretty valuable if a civilization wants them, Turkemenistan for example keeps coming buy asking to buy these guys I captured

Sometimes this can be used as a great metagame strategy, for example trading technologies to the Mande and Congolese for slaves, which you then sell to Europeans for money or other technologies. But we're making ~150 gold per turn so we don't need that shit

When one of the Swahili cities gets captured by natives we can use our little raiding party to free it, repairing our relations and foreign stability a little.

Plus we get more slaves

We can send these slaves to our new Australian colony to work in the coal mines

The Dutch spawn in 1580AD, sadly another Protestant power

As expected, since the English are kill and I'm only colonizing the south they colonize New York.

Also notice that I've expanded to Nashville

I've mentioned this, but this is a new map and unfortunately the dynamic city name mapping isn't complete. In DoC on the old map I'm pretty sure this would have been named Nieuw Amsterdam since the Dutch founded it

It breaks my heart that this isn't New Amsterdam I would literally cheat and rename it but it just seems to get renamed back to its default.

Although they're Protestant, after sending some missionaries we're able to pay them to convert.

and then immediately steal back the money we gave them

Now the only major European Protestant power is Sweden, who refuses to budge. Since the Netherlands have renounced their heresy we're willing to sign a Defensive Pact as well.

We're full on in the Industrial Era now.

Now is a good time to burn some Great People for a Golden Age as we're getting factories, power plants and railroads up across the empire

Padua as our military center is complete, with a Military Academy and Ironworks. We're pumping out promoted riflemen with leadership every turn

Marrakesh is our naval center, having built the wonder Trafalgar Square in it.

Corporations are starting to spread. Unlike the weird gimmicky implementation in base game corporations spread naturally in civilizations that allow them. Corporations piss citizens off and will start to get a LOT of angry faces in modern times. Lead developer Leoreth is kind of a Marxist I think. He's also pretty abrasive. This mod is an impressive achievement so he's earned the right to be as eccentric as he wants but I should find some of his rants at other developers in a future installment, they're hilarious.

Free Enterprise at this point is definitely more profitable than Regulated Trade, even as beastly as the city of Rome is. We have an extra Statesman left over from discovering Representation so we may as well use him to reform the whole government.

With Democracy and a Constitution we now are the Roman Republic once again. The Great People boost from Democracy will be great during our Golden Age.

Excess resources benefit corporations and all this industry spreads unhappiness and disease, so now's a good time for my vassals to start pulling their weight.

By now we've recovered our horrific Foreign Stability with strong vassals and the elusive Good Relations

Spain is booming, having colonized Texas and the incredibly helpful Panama Canal. France is not so much They've only built Speightstown. I'm going to give them some old galleons and maybe a settler to help them out.

Finally, with some assistance they settle New Orleans

We're getting warnings that we're close to the domination limit on population. It's feasible we could go for a Domination win. But I still want Space

Coming soon: America

Next

So it should be no surprise at this point that I'm obsessed with morbid topics and that I'm generally a demonic person who deserves no love. However, I still crave a gf to care for and have s*x with. The way things are looking, it seems like I'll be an incel for the rest of my life but there's a work event in early February and I'm hoping maybe I'll meet a cute white girl there and we'll get married and have babies. It's a long shot, but I don't have many options. Don't act like I've never tried. I've been rejected in real life, and it's a non-starter online. As soon as anyone sees my face IT'S OVER. And this is not even considering the fact that I'm 156cm. It never began and I'm so depressed that I'll have to face the future sexless, loveless, and without anyone to care for me. The reality of it is brutal and I live it every day. I want a girlfriend so badly but I don't know how to get one. This year I've dedicated myself to finding a gf. I'll try any strategy that I haven't already and I'll accept every rejection that comes my way. The truth is I need love.

But that's not the topic of this post. Instead, I'd like to discuss one of the worst massacres in USA history - the Uvalde school shooting. The event took place on 24 May 2022 at Robb Elementary School. In total, there were 22 deaths (including the perpetrator) and the victims were around 10 years old. The perpetrator is Salvador Ramos. Here's a picture of him.

I know you're itching to jump into the main events of the day, but there is some backstory we need to cover first before we get to the bloodshed. So I suggest you get yourself something to drink or nibble on because this is going to be a long post going into intricate details. Before we continue, there is something I want to share. I'm still in love with my friend Sarah. Sometimes I send her loving messages, and she responds politely but it is obvious she only sees me in a platonic light. Sometimes she just ignores me completely. Am I being a creep?

I don't know why I keep torturing myself like this. I can't stay away from her even though I know I can't have her. My life is a tornado of broken emotions. I'd also like to mention that I've quit benzos and ambien. It's over. I have no more prescriptions. There are no pills in my house. I am free. I still crave the pills but I know that the time has come to leave them alone and continue with normal life. I can't go my whole life blacking out every other day. Now I only vape weed.

It's also worth mentioning that I've been enjoying Starfield recently. It's a really good game to get immersed in. I have no idea why people hated the game so much. There's plenty to do and it nails it's atmosphere really well. I like travelling to different planets and exploring new landscapes. I also think the story is well-written and I like Sarah Morgan very much. I think consumers are finicky and they don't really know what they want. Starfield is a perfect game and anyone who thinks otherwise is a deformed cuck.

Tell Me About Uvalde

I should start by mentioning I have never visited Uvalde. However, when the mass shooting occurred, I was obsessed with everything to do with Uvalde which allowed me to amass considerable information on the area and its history. The small town was established in 1853. It is located near the border, which means it faces trouble from a lot of border jumpers escaping from police. Consequently, it is not uncommon for schools to go on lockdown as police attempt to track down these criminals. Yes, people who enter a country illegally are criminals and I stand against illegal immigration.

It's worth highlighting how small Uvalde is. It has a population of roughly 15,000, making it an incredibly tiny town. Despite how small the town is, it has a robust police force with 39 police officers, 2 animal control officers and 11 civilian employees.

Slightly unrelated, but I need to go to work now and it's raining heavily. I'm already a nervous driver so it's going to be super scary to drive when it's raining so hard but I'm going to do it anyway. I hope nothing bad happens. I'll stop here to get ready for work and continue writing this piece at work because I'm basically getting paid to do nothing at the moment.

Whew, made it to work safely. It was a rather uneventful drive except when I stopped at a pedestrian crossing to let folks pass, some cars decided to overtake me. They're buttholes, they should have waited. Nobody respects pedestrian crossings anymore. You're supposed to stop if there's somebody there. Frick off with your car elitism.

Now back to Uvalde. As you can imagine, the town has a high Latinx population, with about 78% of its population identifying as Latinx. and nearly 20% identifying as white. Within Uvalde, there exists a few schools but the one we're concerned about is Robb Elementary. Located on 15 Old Carrizo Road, Robb Elementary was a school created in the 1950s and it was a part of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District. Due to white flight, the school had a population of over 90% Latinx.

Despite its small police force, the cops received a wealth of training. The city of Uvalde spent 40% of its budget on the policing department during 2019-2020. Furthermore, following the horrific Santa Fe shooting, Texas had given UCISD a $69,141 grant to improve security measures. I'm sure this would go to good use. The Chief of Police of the UCISD Police Department was Pete Arredondo.

So Who is Salvador Ramos?

So here is where things get a bit spicier, as we get to talk a bit about our killer. Salvador Ramos was born on 16 May 2004 in North Dakota. It's insane to think that kids in the 2000s are already shooting up schools. On an unrelated note, one time, I was talking to a younger cousin of mine and he asked what music I was into and I replied that I like hip-hop. He asked me what artists I like, so I responded Lil Wayne, Kanye, etc. and he said "oh those old rappers." Imagine my shock. He started naming the rappers he was into and I didn't know who the frick they were. Who the frick is Pooh Shiesty and the Shiesty Gang? What is Ice Spice? Frick this shit, I'm 29 and I already don't know shit about pop culture.

Back to Salvador Ramos. He lived in Uvalde from his early life and he attended Robb Elementary. He did not enjoy his time there and he was bullied mercilessly because he was poor. It is also reported that he had no friends. I was also bulied and have no friends. Just thought I should mention, no reason. He never finished school because he was dismissed in 2021 for having excessive absenteeism, which I don't understand. "You stay away from school for so much, we're going to punish you by letting you stay away from school forever!" Proper punishment would have been forcing him to go to school.

Now, from his teen years, it was evident that there was something not quite right with Salvador Ramos. He had fits of anger, and he was known to abuse animals, including cats. This isn't negligible, as it is a known fact that many many serial killers begin their tomfoolery by killing animals first. If you want to see him hold a bag of dead cats, you can follow the link below:

https://nypost.com/2022/05/30/new-video-shows-texas-school-shooter-salvador-ramos-holding-bag-of-dead-cats/

Cats are good because they take of pests. If it wasn't for the domestication of cats, humans would have never had the agricultural revolution. Therefore, it is bad to kill cats. One time, when I was a child, there was a kitten in the garage. My dad didn't see it and he ran it over.

Salvador Ramos didn't keep his sick shit to himself and he would go on an app called Yubo where he would threaten women with r*pe and abuse because I guess he found it funny. He would also threaten to commit a school shooting, something he would stay true to. Several people reported his account, but no formal action was taken which is an indication of just how lax moderation is on some sites. For this reason, I believe that the moderator to user ratio should be 1:1 and everybody should have a moderator observing their every move because there are just too many chuds out there and it's getting out of hand.

Salvador Ramos didn't spend all his time on Yubo. You see, he had plans of making money. He didn't need too much money, just enough to enact his dastardly plot. So he got a job at Wendy's. There, he mostly stuck to himself but he nevertheless gained the reputation of "school shooter" because he always wore black and had long, black hair. Personally, I think this is discriminatory. There is nothing wrong with wearing black or having long, black hair. This is like someone assuming I smoke weed because I have dreadlocks (I do smoke weed, but that's not the point). I hate stereotyping and I believe you should judge a person by the content of their character.

Although Salvador Ramos initially lived with his mother, they had a fight over the wifi, which caused Ramos to move to his grandparents house. It's not mentioned, but I KNOW it was about porn. Salvador didn't want the wifi cut off because that would snip his porn supply and he didn't want that. It's that simple. Anyway, now that he lived with his grandparents, he had a little more privacy and a bit more freedom. He would ride around with his friends shooting cars with BB guns and eggs. Of course, Slavador couldn't drive so it was his friends that were handling the wheel. In case you're wondering, Salvador was generally described as a quite person, although he could get aggressive at times. It should be noted that many of these descriptions come from his mother who has been very supportive of her son even after the disastrous events that took place in Robb Elementary.

So where was I? Right, I was discussing the past of Salvador Ramos. Of course, he had a girlfriend. Everybody but me has a girlfriend. Life is so fricking unfair. His girlfriend describes him in sweet terms and she was trying to change him to be a better person. He was also in contact with a 15 year old in Germany. This will be important later.

Salvador Ramos Begins His Evil Plan

Don't mean to spoiler you here, but Salvador ends up killing a bunch of kids. To do so, he needs a little planning. So he's living with his grandparents which means he has minimal expenses. Hence, he gets to save all the money he's earning from Wendy's. Imagine going to work as a fry cook for months just so you can save up money to kill kids. This guy is a sick frick. Fueled by pure hatred. He needed guns, so he asked his sister to do it for him. His sister refused, but this wouldn't be enough to deter Salvador Ramos. He waited until his 18th birthday and on that very day he went to Oasis Outback where he purchased a Smith & Wesson semi automatic rifle. A few days later, he purchased a Daniel Defense weapon.

His grandparents found out about the guns and they demanded that Salvador Ramos get rid of the gun because the grandfather had a felony so he was not allowed any firearms in the house. Of course, Salvador Ramos did not listen and he simply hid the guns. Salvador Ramos was intent on causing as much mayhem and carnage as possible. Having two semi-automatic weapons wasn't enough for him, so he installed a hellfire trigger to his Smith & Wesson. This is basically a device that increases the rate of fire of the weapon. Up until this point, there is no evidence that Salvador Ramos had ever fired a gun before.

The other day I watched this movie called Disgruntled Employee and it was about a male worker that worked in an office with all female workers. The workers were mean to him so one day he locks the building and he r*pes them all. The acting is terrible but I watched the whole thing from start to finish. Overall, a 2/10 movie, would not recommend. Have any of you watched this movie?

Now a gun is darn near useless without ammunition, so Salvador Ramos made sure he stocked up with so many bullets that you should think he was going to war. He purchased 1,657 total rounds of ammunition and in his sick, twisted mind, none of if was going to go to waste. To carry all this ammunition, he acquired a tactical vest, but the vest did not include ballistic protection. This is another detail that will come into play later. A day before the shooting, he called his sister crying talking about how he wanted to die. This was an ominous sign of things to come.

So we have a suicidal kid that kills animals, hates the world, is known as a school shooter, and has guns. What could go wrong?

Salvador Ramos Enters Robb Elementary

So is there any way this massacre could have been stopped? Well of course. Salvador Ramos had terrible opsec and he posted pictures of his guns online days before the attack. A little more than a week before the attack, he posted a message stating "10 more days" to which someone responded "Are you going to shoot up a school or something?". Salvador dismissed this and told them to stop asking dumb questions. The final opportunity to stop this atrocity came on the day of the attack. As previously stated, Salvador had a female friend in Germany. He told her that he was about to shot his grandmother. Then he told her he had shot his grandmother, then he informed her that he was going to shoot up a school.

The girl responded flippantly, not believing that Salvador Ramos would do anything of that nature. Well, she was punished for that shit, and she was found guilty of failing to report planned crimes. Well, everything he texted was true. He got into an argument with his grandmother over him not finishing high school, and Salvador Ramos responded by shooting his grandmother in the face. After that evil deed had been accomplished, he got into his grandparent's Ford F-150 and made his way to Robb Elementary which wasn't too far away. However, you should remember that Salvador Ramos did not have a driver's license so he was driving erratically. His driving was so bad that he crashed into a concrete ditch. If you look at the map, it's kinda clear that he just couldn't handle that corner due to inexperience.

He was slightly injured, but he was also in murder mode so this did not slow him down. A nearby funeral home heard the commotion and went outside to see if they could help. They were rewarded with a volley of bullets from Ramos, causing the two men to flee. One of them fell down but they luckily weren't shot. It's a blessing that Salvador Ramos didn't know shit about handling guns because he could have killed way more people if he had the aim of someone like Payton Gendron. The two men called the police and reported the incident. So, at about 11:28am, the police already knew there were was a shooter near the school. Keep that in mind.

Stumbling, he made his way to the school and scaled the fence. At this point, all was not lost. There were still a few opportunities to stop this mass shooter. A school resource officer had received the 911 call and headed to the school but instead of pursuing Salvador Ramos, he pursued an innocent teacher! This goes to show that the school resource officer knew nothing about the students he was protecting, as he couldn't even identify the teachers of the school. Disgusting. This mistake ended up costing several children their lives. Another opportunity came when a police officer was passing and he caught sight of Ramos. He had clear view to shoot Ramos. However, he chose not to because he was waiting for permission from his supervisor. Consequently, he didn't take the shot.

After entering the school grounds, Salvador Ramos entered the school through the West-facing entrance. A teacher had closed the door, but it did not lock as it was supposed to do. Salvador, crazed and murderous, began firing shots at 11:32am but it took until 11:43am before the school was placed into lockdown. Now, as I said, the area was used to illegal immigrants leading to lockdowns, and not everyone had heard the shots, so initially, the lockdown wasn't taken seriously. But it was very, very serious.

It should be noted at this point that it was graduation day for Robb Elementary, and after the graduation event, the children were allowed to either go home or spend some free time with their friends at school. Some kids chose to go home while others stayed behind and watched a movie.

Salvador Ramos Does a Very Naughty Thing

Now Salvador Ramos is in the school. He only brought one of his guns onto campus (the Smith & Wesson) and he wanted to shoot humans. He barged into room 111 which was being taught by Irma Garcia who was watching over 11 students. He said "Goodnight" to Irma Garcia before he fired shots at her, causing the children to scream in horror. But they would not be spared from the violence. Salvador Ramos then aimed his guns at the children at began firing at them. All 11 children in the room died. It was said that some of the kids suffered from "overkill" meaning that he shot them a ludicrous amount of times to the point where they were unidentifiable. He was having fun being a sick frick. He then entered room 112 which was adjoined to room 111 and began opening fire in there.

The inhabitants of room 112 had heard the shooting and the teacher Arnulfo Reyes told the children to hide under the desks. He regrets this because he feels like he turned his students into sitting ducks. However, this was the training he was given in the eventuality of a school shooting. After shooting Mr Reyes, he started shooting the children. Some of them hid while others, like 11-year-old Miah Cerrillo played dead and covered themselves in the blood of their dead students. What the frick.

According to the surviving students in room 112, the Ramos played sad music during the whole ordeal. Ramos probably thought the event would be over quickly, but he would be sorely mistaken. He heard the voices of the police on the other end of the door and he shot at the door, making the law enforcement flee. That was about the last time they approached the door for over an hour. So what did Salvador Ramos do in a room full of dead kids for over an hour? Well, this information is hard to gather. Some students say he was playing sad music. He also decided to shoot some kids again, and he tried to enter room 109, but the door was jammed shut so he shot through the window.

So Ramos sat around, waiting for a showdown with the cops. Afterall, Ramos was suicidal and it's likely he wanted to die by cop, but he wanted to kill a few pigs before that. But they would not engage with him which left him with plenty of time to come to terms with his deeds.

A common question is: how did any kids survive? He had over an hour to double-tap every single body. I think the answer to this is that Salvador Ramos is an idiot. He literally got outsmarted by a bunch of 10yos. They hid under the table, smeared themselves in blood, and that was enough to convince Ramos that they were dead.

Conclusion

I was going to include the conclusion to the event, how Salvador died, what happened to the school, how the parents responded, and how the police completely bungled the response, but the internet is being poopy at work and I realise that it would need it's own longpost to do the topic justice so I'll break this up into two parts.

This year I want to have a girlfriend so bad I'll do anything. I just don't know where to begin. I just want a kind girl that will love me and have s*x with me but it seems like an impossible thing to do. It's so unfair. Everyday I see people with girlfriends and the one common factor is that they're all taller than me. Nobody wants to date someone who is 156cm. It is over. I can't masturbate my whole life and try to live off imaginary girlfriends. Something has got to give. I don't know what to do. I'm so depressed. Sorry for the repeat Hollys. Like I said, the internet is poopy so it's hard to search for new ones.

Also, should I continue messaging Sarah?

Sometimes I get why oldies chose the politics they did. If these schizos were anything but an irrelevant minority seething into the void now I'd probably not be right leaning either. Yeah we didn't get anything from breaking their political backbone but I'd do it again just cause of how detestable these strags are.

Maybe we needed a cultural revolution.

Much better compared to the first marsey :3

We're playing the turboneurodivergent Dawn of Civilization mod for Civilization IV that replicates world history. !g*mers

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Part 5

With the research of Logistics technologically the Roman Empire has reached the Renaissance age. It's 1015AD so we're quite advanced, almost a full age ahead of medieval Europe

Persia isn't even matching us anymore but China has researched one technology we haven't (Printing Press).

We already have a spy settling east to take care of that

We're already discovering Brazil, interacting with the natives and fighting panthers

We prove that the world is round when we discover Japan

In Rhyes and Fall if you found a city in the Renaissance you get a bunch of free buildings. In Dawn of Civilization it's the same, but settlers in a new age can also be used to rush buildings that would have been provided otherwise. Here we can build a bunch of stuff for free with "Rebuild", including a library and a forge. We'll need these because Poland just spawned, hello Poland

Athens has historically been our Great People city since it's conquest, though Rome is catching up. We've had a Great Prophet born here, Eusebius.

We're sending him to Jerusalem to found the Temple of Solomon.

This will let us then build the Dome of the Rock, which will boost the output of St. Peter's Bascilica in Rome.

When we discover Economics we get a free Great Merchant (Marcus Crassus), and with Economics we can have him build a Stock Exchange in Rome

After the Dome of the Rock is built, St. Peter's Bascilica is maxed out at 40 gold per turn.

Rome turns a 150+ gold profit per turn

England is coming for Ireland.

We go straight for London, after capturing it they become the "English Government in Exile" but still refuse negotiations.

Really wish the AI was prone to settling just one more city in England It's kind of annoying that London controls its entire English core.

When a European or Christian civ researches Academia, the Protestant Reformation begins and Europe erupts in war. Since we're already fighting England, now is a good time to do it. Protestantism is founded in Rhegium.

We can adopt Protestantism, allow Protestantism to spread, or stamp it out. After all the work I've put into Catholicism you should know what I'm gonna pick.

England joins the Reformation, as expected. Portugal and the Norse join them. France probably would have if they weren't under my boot. Austria (the Holy Roman Empire) and Poland do not, fortunately.

The Italian Maritime Republics are supposed to spawn in 1167AD. In a normal medieval game they spawn in north Italy and found Florence, taking Milan and Padua with them. I was afraid my two core cities were going to secede and I would need to reconquer them, but the 1167AD date has passed so apparently not. I can focus on the Reformation wars.

The Austrians have claimed Denmark, blocking Norse access from Birka. The Norse have a port from Nidaros but I'm not too worried about them, we might need to be ready for a little naval harassment. They're at war with England, so there's not a risk of them reinforcing them.

With espionage I can see the Portugese army in Lisbon. It's big (see unit icons at the bottom)

In fact, they're one of the stronger military powers right now. Ethiopia is also up there too, interedasting

If I don't take care of them they could frick up my vassal Spain, so while waiting my main army to arrive I reinforce their cities with troops from Tarragona and Alicante.

A couple good wonders are becoming available, to get them up I think it's time to expend my Great People for a Golden Age.

The Ottomans should be coming too so I want to need to start getting gunpowder units up everywhere to properly fight these guys:

England collapses If they had just been willing to surrender I would have returned London to them. I maybe should have taken their city in Scotland instead, but I really wanted them to capitulate.

This is going to screw up world history a little There will be no British Raj. The United States spawns assuming there are European colonies there, there will still probably be some but not in the same way. We might get a Dutch New Amsterdam instead of New York.

We already have an explorer in America. Maybe we could even colonize it

At least Alfred did well with his time running London. He's given it a Great General and a Great Engineer. It's still in our historic expansion zone so I think we'll keep it. Ireland is not, so I might set it free.

By the time my army arrives at Lisbon, Portugal is willing to surrender, but as it's the "Rise of the Portugese" they can't capitulate. I figure I will allow peace so I can properly focus on the coming Ottomans.

But suddenly, something extremely strange happens.

Byzantine leader Basil I appears out of nowhere

Apparently Persia collapsed. Right after I lost 500 gold investing espionage against them

And Turkey has become the Byzantine "Empire of Dorylaion". I had no idea this was a thing.

This is the city that the Persians burnt down when I first conquered Greece, rebuilt, and I helped defend from the Arabs. It's been a valuable espionage center for centuries. What a journey it's been

A few turns later we become the "Western Roman Empire", but no cities want to secede. It's not the Eastern Roman Empire, it's just this weird made up new "Dorylaion empire". Fascinating Regrettably they do choose to become Pr*test*nt

My spy sees that Genghis Khan has arrived and the Chinese are fukt

After China collapses they start mopping up the remnants of Persia too

...and harassing my new Byzantinebros

Notice that Mazaka is in revolt, when mongols are the gates the citizens panic

We're still stable but have outdated civics - apparently the culprit is Merchant Trade.

Time for a revolution.

Regulated Trade has stability and general gameplay synergy with Bureaucracy. I'll miss my Despotism whip but Monarchy will further boost our stability.

Thalassocracy's benefits are negligible especially as more towns are popping up (Roma is working 3 towns and 2 fishing boats for example so we'll lose 1 commerce), and it no longer has a stability benefit with Merchant Trade. There's not much point to colonize too much but Colonialism will be fun anyway. We'll get some slaves and slave plantations up

So many High upkeep civics and losing the free units from Vassalage is gonna hurt. But it's a very stable combo and Roma is so profitable that focusing all commerce to the capital might outperform the costs.

Sure enough, once the revolution is settled it turns out to be profitable. With Rome pumping out 275 gold per turn we're making 5 gold a turn at 50% research funding instead of losing 6.

Around 1280AD the short lived Empire of Dorylaion collapses.

No Ottoman Empire ever appearaed I'm guessing the weird Turkish Byzantine Empire in their place prevented it.

I guess we can go ahead and mop up Turkey now.

We finally have unified borders and we're back to being the "Roman Empire" instead of the "Western Roman Empire".

The mongols right on my nuts are a little worrying tho. When Temujin asks me to fight Kievan Rus I have no problem doing so, any little thing to potentially keep this guy off my back.

I take Tarnopol and call it a day before setting it free. Later the mongols take Kyiv and Sweden France scoops up Tarnopol

Since Spain and France are our provinces we technically have Trajan's borders now!

Oh except Poortugal. Whatevs. What a beautiful empire regardless

I was really expecting a big civil war and conflict with the Ottomans, it really does appear that the weird Byzantine state blocked them from spawning. This is very good for us. But if the mongols invade, as they're prone to do, it could be trouble.

For now, time to look towards the new world

I accidentally discovered the Inca, spreading disease to them

Mexico is controlled by Toltecs, predecessors of the Aztec. No conquistadors for either It might only be available to colonial European powers.

I've given my vassal France and Spanish technology to colonize, so they should get started soon

Since I accidentally killed England, I can take care of colonizing America instead

I think I'm going to colonize the Deep South so we can set up some tobacco plantations

And I've got a crew headed to Africa for some labor

Australia will be next and should be uncontested

Till next time Civ4bros
