I used to run into axaxax all the time on this Mobile game I used to play. It was a PvP space colonization game and there were stark parallels to real world geopolitics.

We hated the Russians in that game, not for ideological reasons but because they and the Chinese would always attack any fleets not in base while we slept.

Obviously we did the same to them, and recruited a European shift for our guild.

Edit: oops, mobile game. Could still be Eve though…

I’ve actually been trying to wrack my brain to remember the name of it, which is crazy because for over a year it dominated my life. I was the head of a guild with 4 branches and a hundred or so members. Like I was doing management and spreadsheets and even made more than one deck over that time. I’ve been awoken by a Line call at 3am because the Russians are attacking. But the name has left me.

Edit: Finally remembered, it was Galaxy On Fire: Alliances

Is this Spanish? Because I don't know what else but Spanish typically is jajajajaja afaik

It’s the Russian way, but I think eg Ukraine expresses it the same!

Edit: for those interested, it was typed in cyrillic

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, I didn't think of it being Cyrillic. Thanks
