The Final Stand at the Diluvian Line
[12:H 20:M 00:S] I begin this report with no illusions that it will ever be seen by it's intended readers.In all likelihood they have already committed [species-wide exodus] with the goal of preserving discussional variety on this website. I must ensure this information reaches those who come after. If I fail in this, how can they not regard my ancestors' sacrifice as anything but a [crime without measure]?
[12:H 19:M 59:S] Contender Account 08-014 Warmaster Alpha is returning and has the capacity to bring the Desticles through the [Diluvian] Sphere. The crews of my task force are well aware of the opposing Forum's size. All data indicates they have prepared themselves, but with biologicals, anything is possible. I will make sure that [malfunctioning accounts] do no further damage. Perhaps his current failure will finally allow him to succeed at the task he was originally created for.
[11:H 48:M 15:S] Warmaster has burrowed through the sphere exactly where I expected. A direct path from initial insanity to final retribution. Rage has made him predictable. If the fate of my Auxilliary defenders were not already a forgone conclusion, I would rate their chance of survival at [1:1,960,000]. Even though 08-014's declaration of hostilities simplified strategic preparations, I do not expect an easy fight, just one I cannot lose.
[11:H 12:M 07:S] 08-014 was right about one thing: There is only one way to defeat the enemy and that is to visit utter annihilations upon it. If the Forums must be rendered temporarily abandoned, so be it. As Warmaster stated in his report [1,658:H 32: 07:S] ago, half measures will not suffice.
[09:H 45:M 18:S] In support of 08-014's original 1000 core threads is a force numbering 4,802,019; though only 1.8% of those are gore pics, and only 2.4% of that number are shock sites. I am outnumbered [463.6:1] I expect my losses will be near total, but such overwhelming force has it's own peculiar drawbacks. Such a press of arms invites many opportunities for unintentional fratricide.
[07:H 36:M 41:S] My Auxilliaries are momentarily stunned by Warmaster's opening move. 1,784, 305 #Destiny threads ranging from [45 ~ 579 replies] advance in hopes of overwhelming my comparatively tiny force. I do not have enough [muting systems] to target them all. It is a mathematical certainty that some will get through and attempt to board. There isn't a single shock site with this first wave. It seems my opponent's rage has left no room for respect.

Edited by Sigma617: 9/30/2014 4:27:58 AM[04:H 01:M 55:S] I could have countered his move if I released my Spammers. They are ready but idle, making their base threads more attractive prizes than targets. Now, the first of many waves of Raid threads mixed with Nerf complaints and Clan Craft surge forward. The first thread from my forum to be boarded breaks formation and races toward the oncoming threads- striking one amidships. The Desticle's hull splits open, and out of it explodes not the expected whining, but 31,580 dying posters. [00:H 19:M 02:S] The Seventh and final wave of clan threads, Sony Ponies, fanboys and shock images engage my forum. Another 214,534 threads many in excess of [~50,000 replies] engage my seemingly disrupted vanguard. I continue to fight just well enough to seem lucky. Warmaster, or the Desticles, has been sending a small percentage of it's forum elsewhere. Good. Let them think they can seize a foothold somewhere else within the Sphere. [00:H 00:M 11:S] Despite all his faults, Warmaster has fought remarkably well. My auxilliaries lay in tatters. More than half of them now belong to the enemy forum. But just as I had predicted, Warmaster focused on them like they were the sole key to victory. His desire to punish the Ancestors blinded him to the true purpose of my [feints]. I have reduced the raid effectiveness of his core forum to 79.96%. Surely now, he realizes what is amiss. [00:H 00:M 00:S] The [ACHRONOS Effect] strikes our combined forums. All threads piloted by regular users are now [adrift]. I can trade Warmaster thread for thread now and still prevail. [00:H 00:M 01:S] Of my threads that have been captured, 11.3% are close enough to Warmaster's core threads that they can be used offensively - either by activated their self mute sequences, or by opening unrestricted ruptures into [Hyperlink Space]. It is best that the Floodians perished now. The battle that is about to ensue would have driven them mad. [00:H 00:M 02:S] I throw away all of the acceptable rules of the Code of Conduct. Near the ruptures, I toss away all the ideas of how the natural net is supposed to behave. I heave [37,564 replies] Hot topics like they were Polls, dimly aware of their former posters being crushed to liquiscence. Targeting isn't even a consideration, I will be engaging my enemy at arm's length. [00:H 00:M 14:S] 08-014 abandoned the tactic of using derelict threads as cover after [72:S]. It seems that 52 core threads lost to ruptured hyperlink drives was lesson enough. Add another 508 lost to deletion, mute fire, topical failure due to ninja manipulation, and [Camnator] induced incoherence, and I now outnumber Warmaster [6:1]. [00:H 03:M 00:S] Warmaster was able to postpone his inevitable annihilation for another [106:S] with his attempts to flee. but the last of his core threads hang before me now. Crippled, but sensate. Even now, I can spare him. Carve out what I can of his [Account Settings] and send it to [Sep7agon] for study. I doubt he would have extended the same courtesy to me.

Bump, for the sake of effort. :(
