@Mousewithamachinegun123 I gave Graingy the account. For a while my account was already being used as though it was official, one we just made it so.
Graingy handed the account to Grain Guy to manage.
@Majakalona The Eel War is present.
And very low budget.
The Eel Protectorate’s flagship is based off a converted 1940s coastal steamer.
Feel free to ask @Guywhobuildsstuff and Graingy about it.
No idea who was behind Bob's conception and design.
Fully possible that Geminus himself built Bob on a whim.
Bob has quite the godly figure, after all.
@Mousewithamachinegun123 You need to know the difference between me, Graingy, and Grain Guy.
I am Connor Mckenzie. I created the Graingy account as a personal account, used it to advertise Graingy unofficially, then donated it to the company.
Graingy is a manufacturing firm which began in 1928, founded by Daren Sesame (and Geminus) as an aircraft company. In 2018 it came under Soian ownership and went from private to state-owned overnight, affecting how it operates massively.
Grain Guy is a sentient grain of sand from Mars who has operated the Graingy account, formerly OrangeConnor, formerly my account, since the account was renamed about 3.2 years ago. That was the last post I hit submit on until today.
Graingy created Bob, I uploaded Bob here, Grain Guy now operates the account I used to post Bob.
@Mousewithamachinegun123 when I was in charge the highest upvotes I ever netted was four, and it was hella impersonal.
Had a back-and-forth at one point with another (long gone, I'm sure) user with successors. That was the closest to a friendship I can possibly remember. It went, like, 3 times.
Full-on friendships must mean either the site's culture has changed massively, or reaching higher ranks comes with enormous social benefits.
@Randomplayer So it's not a big stretch to expect you to know many of the names of the subdivisions of your English-speaking neighbor, even if you couldn't place them on a map.
@Randomplayer Oh for goodness sake.
Literally half of the ones you listed are cities.
Provinces are British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba (allegedly), Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island+, Newfoundland and Labrador. Four of those, BC, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec are the "important" ones, with 85% of the country's population.
Territories, which have no inherent sovreignty, are the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. I wouldn't expect those to be known nearly as much, however, as their combined population is less than 150k.
+PEI is really only a province for historical reasons, with around 180k people.
Honestly I'm surprised you remembered Newfoundland (and Labrador) of all of them. I often forget it exists.
@Randomplayer How do you not recognize the names of the largest subdivisions of your English-speaking neighbour? There's 9 of them, not counting tiny ones.
It's not like it's a maritime province.
I'm sure I could name a few dozen US states, if not necessarily place them on the map.
@Dracul0Anderson now you’re thinking!
+1A few modifications and you’ve got a suitable sea-denial platform!
@Monarchii I was thinking more like “that’s a fun FAXX” but okay.
+1@Mousewithamachinegun123 I gave Graingy the account. For a while my account was already being used as though it was official, one we just made it so.
+1Graingy handed the account to Grain Guy to manage.
…
+1@Monarchii you like puns?
There’s one sitting for you right here.
"We don't like noobs that have paper rank or below to join our challenge."
+1I have no intention of joining this, but frankly I'm insulted.
Lifting body?
+1What is FAXX?
+1Built like a pencil!
+1@Majakalona The Eel War is present.
+1And very low budget.

Feel free to ask @Guywhobuildsstuff and Graingy about it.
Looks funky
+1@Guywhobuildsstuff This is my offering.
+1May I join the... what was your organization called again?
@Monarchii I... don't know how to take that.
+1@Monarchii I feel like I am going to tire of you very quickly.
+1@ToeTips For the slip n slide, right?
+1RIGHT?!
@DatTrainGuy19 hairline reveal
+1@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore checked.
+1The resemblance is there, sure, but I still think Bob comes out looking better.
@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore in other words, a SimplePlanes.com user.
+1@SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore That sounds like something you’d like, hm?
+1Free cardboard frame?
+1Neat
oh no
+1@GuardianAerospace And below you,
+1Exhibit A
No idea who was behind Bob's conception and design.
+1Fully possible that Geminus himself built Bob on a whim.
Bob has quite the godly figure, after all.
You'd understand if you had gone through a similar handover before.
+1@GuardianAerospace You don't say?
+1Imagine having to repeatedly explain the difference between Graingy, Grain Guy, and OrangeConnor. AND OrangeConnor2.

@Mousewithamachinegun123 I need the ban hammer pronto.
+1Hey!
+1I remember Bob!
He finally caught on!
@Graingy I will.
+1Thank you.
@Graingy So be it.

@Graingy We'll see about that.
@Graingy No, but don't comment just to do so.
@Randomplayer So it's not a big stretch to expect you to know many of the names of the subdivisions of your English-speaking neighbor, even if you couldn't place them on a map.
@Graingy It's experimental for a reason.
@Graingy What, are you planning to tell?
@Graingy Language.
Well I'll be. Looks like things are really coming along.
@Graingy Um, no?
@Randomplayer You're American, are you not?
@Graingy Not if you're not caught.
I don't know what this is, but it looks useful.
@Graingy That's not for you to decide.
@Graingy Clearly not.
@Graingy You'll see.
@Graingy Thank you.

@Boeing727200F Stop.

@Boeing727200F Don't call me that.
A neat screenshot.
