Seems self-explanatory to me

Ramen - "I'm hungry"

Bulgaria - depending on context, "you are now my mortal enemy and I vow to never rest until you draw your last breath" or "neat post"
Domingator - "let's party"
Television - "it's been too long since you've gone to Grandville"
Accordion - "the market is fine, thanks to the Homecoming changes the supply is infinitely elastic"
Satellite - "I'm watching you. I know what you've done"

I don't know about you all, but I don't trust them.  Nope.  Not me.  First you think, oh, this is just fun and games, nobody will get hurt... then, before you know it, you've given them all your money and you're sitting cross-legged listening to a Portuguese folk singer on a Himalayan goat commune.  Well, I'm on to you Mr. Domingator, and I'm keeping my goats to myself.

I'm a little disappointed that we have Domingator but not Corruptamagoo, as that is my preferred playstyle.  I'll also bring a Stank or a Defloobernaut if it better serves the team.

At this point in time, I'm using Domingator as "I agree" and Accordion as "Sad Trombone," and I look forward to finding more personal meaning in each of them.  

 

I was thinking of using the accordion for "The British are coming!" Somehow it makes the warning seem more festive.

 

TV could probably stand in for "Gone to the Americans"

Is the "eating ramen" reaction meant to be the new "eating popcorn" reaction?

I eat a lot of ramen because I like it, so it falls in line [thumbsup>ramen>like>thanks] to me.

But then I'm kind of wishy-washy then I have tended just to use the thumbsup or thanks for  while now depending if I like the post or I more heartily agree with/support the post.

 

I'm figuring the television is "I'm Lost". Not sure why anyone would use that - there is that guy in game that keeps trying to make a joke about that one Lost guy with the television on his head always having it set to the ugly channel. He's vowed never to stop until someone laughs....

 

I have no idea what a Domingator is so I leave that one alone. Dominican Alligator? Dominator with Kenny G music in their little black hearts? So I guess it does seem to imply something dangerous and pain inflicting on some level. Thinking of Kenny G music is a little terrifying.

 

Bulgaria? I guess they just randomly add countries but we didn't get the other ones due to political reasons. I'm guessing this means that Bulgaria is very neutral and not a point of political contention. My best guess it means "I read your post but I have no reaction to it" - "I'm neutral on this post".

 

Accordion? I can't figure if that's "time to dance" ("start the polka!") or a new "kicking a dead horse" reaction. So maybe a good reaction on the Jukebox thread?!

 

I agree with the satellite being "Big Brother is watching". Regardless of who is "The Man"/"Rulers"/"Watchers"/"Telecommunication Service" at the time.

If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they are most probably on ignore.

Some of them even know that I have them on ignore.

But that won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it.

It's who they are. There is a group of them that have banded together to do it. They think that it is acceptable.

Ignore is a tool to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using it.

Nothing Can Stop Noodles!

 

If I give someone a 🍜 it means I whole-heartedly adore, approve, endorse, enjoy, and/or otherwise 🧡 what was posted.

 

Please, Mods, Let us keep 🍜, it is my new favorite thing on the forums.

 

What I want to know is if I am indicating anything of which I am unaware by using the 🧡(orange heart). It is my default on Discord; I use it because I am a Ginger Day-Walker and would be embarrassed if it meant something I didn't know about. 🤣

Then she got up to look around; Muttered words I’d never heard a human sound; Then from her hair grew forty serpents, from her eyes a fiery shroud...

From her mouth came forty voices, and I heard them cry aloud: The Sun Won't Cast No Shadow Anymore! The Willows Never Weep and the Wind Will Never Moan!"

Obviously it's a secret message to alert the ramen-eating Bulgarian Domingators to listen to accordion music on their secret satellite broadcasts that can only be watched on their old tube-TVs.

This sounds like a Hard Mode Strike Force issued by The Radio; you know something we don't, don't you? 🤣

All of the reactions have whatever meaning you want to attribute to them, new and old alike.

 

Personally, I view all of the thumbs down reactions as pledges of financial support.  I'm still waiting on that support to deliver, but that's how I see it.

Nicely done. Two sticks up.

If Cobalt is behind this, then it's for sure a cryptic code about the next page.

Cryptic?

Code?

 

I think you may have just blown this investigation wide open!

 

Clearly that's not ramen, it's spaghetti. It's meant to indicate "your suggestion, while not without its merits, is probably impossible due to City of Heroes' underlying programming being a chaotic, badly-documented Gordian Knot of interwoven code strings from multiple development teams, all of whom were making this up as they went along and were, frankly, lucky anything they did worked at all, never mind the way they intended it to."

 

It's all so obvious now.

Battle of the Bulge was in the Ardennes nowhere near Bulgaria.
