#OVER/UNDER continues to have the goods. A faction released some obvious misinformation Day 1 that still gets quoted at me Day 6. The corp faction is trying to implement a Class A/Class B share divide for its equity. We are speedrunning Living In A Society.

Been playing #OVER/UNDER the last few days and have laughed out loud on a few occasions, like at this. Information overload is real.
