Over/Under is kind of a new media masterpiece
There's this high level faction wargame played by a few bosses
Lower level RP played by like 500 players in factions
and all the RP shenanigans happening in this.
People are playing Mothership, the IRL roleplaying game, IN character on the space station

We made Anthony Bourdain an honorary cowboy for the day so he could tour the Battlestations and drink Energy Milk and GFuel for Dogs with us. #OVER/UNDER
![My local contact for the Canyonheavy Collective’s makerspace was one of it’s bosses, Beefstink[sic], a genial if neurotic guy with a three-day-old growth of mustache, a penchant for digital camoflage pattern bordering on obsession, and a sword. Quirky, flashy, manic, Beefstink, on this cold november noon, was taking me out to experience the heart of the hacker culture on Prospero’s dream, the place that swung politics heavily in the past few weekends on the station. In this case, it was a cramped cluttered space of art and assorted drug palettes, next to a massive data center about three blocks outside of the markets.
It turned out prior to my arrival he’d invited the whole gang: the bosses, a representative of the local drug dealer group, a fish on legs, notables of every stripe. And an army of maids had been pressed into service to tidy what had presumably been an even bigger hurricane of cigarrette packets and half functioning equipment.
Beefstink’s pal, whom he’d introduced as the head of infosec, forcefully insisted
the camera crew and I join them in a few rounds of what they called ‘milk’ and ‘Gfuel for Dogs.’ One at a time, the CISO and I, were presented with a fifty-fifty mix of Gfuel and milk – apparently mixed with some kind of psychoactive stimulant. Both of us apparently no stranger to dropping one hit of acid too many at your 112th Grateful Dead concert, this was to continue until one team cried uncle or collapsed unconscious.
John Waters says hacktivists have no look to that lifestyle other than bad posture. But clearly he’s never been to the CHC battlestations. When they’re taking down the government, they certainly have a look; that look may suck, but one can't deny old phreakers in chaps are one interesting looking group.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wda5bmzr3db5dwkc4m2vm46k/bafkreifddad2ig4eosq24k6cybf2gzxbu5ipv665ju3jv43hsfp2dfiiee@jpeg)

It's kind of saddening knowing that Over/Under is gonna end soon because once it's over all the RPers are gonna be put down.

#OVER/UNDER is the biggest W for System Doesn’t Matter since some guy in Wisconsin picked up a miniature Dragoon and gave it a funny voice.
i’m jokin around don’t kill me pls

Officially the meta in #over/under has shifted from war game to lesbian romance simulator.
So I went quiet on #over/under posting for a bit, but now people are saying that a war ended because someone was in love with me; to which I say
YEAH? MAYBE? YOU CAN'T PROVE A THING. THIS STATION RUNS ON YURI AND SPITE, AND LEMME TELL YA, I'M RUNNIN DAMN LOW ON YURI.

a thing that makes #over/under work really well is that discord's organization via nested threads creates physical spaces like real world ones: I can walk through my neighborhood and go into the neighborhood bar but I can't go into the (god knows how many) private thread 'rooms' in the back

See, the trick is that "the GM exists for the players' amusement, whose job is to ruin their plans for fun" and "the GM rules like a king, and the players exist to be their playthings" is that these SEEM like opposite maladaptive approaches to play, but they both result in the GM doing all the work.
