Title: “Shut the hell up, you idiot who thinks you can just incite the docked kids, damn it.”

They’re trying to incite us so naturally, like, are they for real?

Why the hell should we even bother undocking just because of your nonsense? LOL

Are they seriously idiots?

Comments:

– [LOLOLOLOLOLOL]

– [Huh?]

– [What’s this guy on about now?] (Author)

– [He’s a famous loser, just ignore him.]

Title: “What’s with openly admitting you’re trying to incite people?”

Is this some kind of intentional thing?

Like, sacrificing yourself to reveal some hidden conspiracy?

I hope that’s the case, so I can at least thank you.

Or are you just a brain-dead moron?

Comments:

– [Dopeung’s sharp wit strikes again LOL]

– [Maybe it’s actually true LOL]

– [Just go all in without hesitation~]

And it seems like they were serious about their statement, but…

As the backlash from users docked at Avalon and Barracuda grew stronger than expected, the user tried to flee.

Of course, right after that…

Title: “Execution of the idiot inciting rebellion”

Yeah.

It’s amazing how they think they can cross the line blatantly and not get punished.

Comments:

– [Kreeeeeee]

– [Bug exterminated]

– [Sweet and simple]

– [They’ll be quiet for a while now.]

After blatantly crossing the line, they got caught by a passing moderator and were dealt with.

They ended up being publicly displayed in the town square—no, the featured posts—as a warning to other trolls.

And with that kind of ending for trolls, the gallery started wondering why the docked users weren’t rebelling.

‘Self-proclaimed’ academic(???) analyses began to pop up.

Of course, most of the posts were garbage, so they were ignored by the majority, with only a few getting 10 to 20 comments.

But one decent post miraculously emerged, and it was actually pretty well-written.

Title: “The reason why Avalon and Barracuda docked users aren’t rebelling is simple.txt”

Author: Chuck Chuck Master

When Icarus first accepted base docking, they prioritized users whose fleets were mostly destroyed over those with intact fleets.

So most of the docked users now have very weak fleet power.

That’s why even if Icarus pulls troops after capturing Tanhoizer and deploys them there, the users can’t do anything about it. LOL

Comments:

– [Even if they have superhumans with firepower, gathering user superhumans could still produce decent fleet firepower, right?]

– [It’s not just decent fleet firepower, you’d need mid-tier clan-level firepower to even try anything.]

– [Oh.]

– [You’re a genius with a clean brain.]

– [Good info, upvoted.]

– [Nice.]

Among countless trash posts, this one stood out like a dandelion in a field, and users were mesmerized, upvoting it like crazy.

But as the topic of how docked users should respond continued to spiral into madness…

The actual party isn’t even annihilating Tanhoizer’s defense fleet.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

It’s kind of hilarious how we’re arguing over something that’s not even happening.

Comments:

– [That’s the fun of ‘what if’ scenarios LOL]

– [Bro, read the room.]

– [Who doesn’t know that? LOL]

As someone passing by threw a post into the gallery, the mischievous toad users quickly scattered the bait and then, as if reminiscing about forest friends, engaged in some mysterious confession(?) before unanimously returning to the original topic: ‘Tanhoizer strategy.’

==========

Meanwhile, those ‘individual’ users, each following their own stream of consciousness, were letting public opinion flow in a very strange and meaningless way at that moment.

Unlike solo players, other clans with at least some strategic plans were…

—————————————–

<Clan Representative Chat Room>

– [It’s even mentioned in the Goguryeo watermelon field that Icarus is friendly with our clan!] (Humanity)

– [Why are the Humanity uncles suddenly going crazy again?] (Biomass)

– [LOLOLOLOLOLOL] (Loki)

– [We, you know, our Clan Leader and Icarus went to the sauna together! Went on dates! Did everything!]

– [Shut up]

– [Ah] (Justice)

– [LOLOLOLOLOLOL] (Humanity)

– [LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL] (Loki)

—————————————–

Regardless of what was being said in the gallery, they drew a line, not caring at all.

This time, they were watching Icarus’s performance, which could become a completely different kind of ‘mercenary’ compared to the solo player mercenaries so far.

They were fiercely competing behind the scenes to employ Icarus as their external mercenary.

To be precise, it was the Humanity Clan and the Justice Clan that were really going at it.

—————————————–

<Clan Representative Chat Room>

– [We gave Icarus resources, gifted ships, and even sent envoys to leave friendly evidence. GG] (Humanity)

– [<Photo of Tiara shaking hands with Icarus as a representative of Humanity.jpg>] (Humanity)

– [LOL]

– [Our Clan Leader directly offered Ouroboros to Icarus, though?]

– [<Chat log between Arcadia and Icarus.jpg>] (Justice)

– [Huh]

– [Huuuuh]

—————————————–

The pan-Humanity faction and the pan-Justice faction were trying to pull Icarus into their sphere of influence.

They were openly fighting and checking each other, taking turns to claim, “That kid is ours!”

Of course, other clans weren’t uninterested in Icarus’s situation either.

—————————————–

<Clan Representative Chat Room>

– [Whatever, let them fight. Icarus is still part of our faction, right? Haha] (Biomass)

– […What?] (Humanity)

—————————————–

Even though the Biomass Clan had once told Icarus directly, “Honestly, you seem closer to Justice, lol,” they had never officially stated it.

Since it was just a private conversation between their representative, Wyriddy, and Icarus, they brushed it off and acted like it never happened, putting on a poker face.

…And finally, the Loki Clan, always serious about causing chaos.

Their first meeting with Icarus wasn’t great, and due to some strange training from Marian, who was associated with Icarus, their Clan Leader, Betelgeuse, wasn’t exactly friendly.

But they couldn’t just hand Icarus over to another clan either.

—————————————–

<Loki Clan Secret Meeting>

– [We can’t just let it go, right?] (Betelgeuse)

– [Yeah] (Officer)

– [But we probably can’t have Icarus for ourselves anyway.]

– [Then let’s make the clans fight each other so no one can have them. Yeah.] (Betelgeuse)

– [That’s the Loki way.]

—————————————–

Based on the miraculous logic that if they couldn’t have it, no one should, they were using spies planted in each clan to stir up trouble.
