[The post is public and easy to read for everyone, but if you're a paranoid type hoping to crack the anonymity he's made it as ridiculously hard as possible to hack for the most part, except for several completely exposed paths you can find with just a bit of searching and know-how that will help you crack the anonymity on this post with ease...but if you manage to hack your way through everything, it unfortunately leads to an unregistered device with no ID. Better luck next time you nosy sons a' bitches.

And yes, it's a dutifully crafted lure designed just to fuck with you people in the first place.]

So I was just wondering...what's the stay/go ratio around here like?

If you're interested, just tell me whether or not you'd rather stay here once the war ends, or go back home a.s.a.p.

Reasons optional, but preferred. [The more depressing the better, he could use a laugh.]

Someone has to.

[This is legitimately the story of his life. All of it.]

True, true, but it's really a certain kind of person you need sometimes.

I mean, plenty of people think they can handle the responsibility, sure! And everyone gets all psyched up, unified under one banner...and then a week later they're all dead.

People who actually want to be field commanders rarely have the skills necessary - and half the time they're too stupid to know that they don't have the skills. It's a pretty thankless job.

[hatesvampires]

Hm? But aren't you the one saying you'd do it if it happened? So doesn't that mean you're saying you're stupid?

Oh, wait, no offense! [lol jk all the offense] You'll have to excuse me, I typed that without thinking.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

There's a difference between doing something because you want to do it, and doing it because it needs to be done.

[hatesvampires]

But wouldn't everyone vying for the position think the same thing?

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Maybe. There are reasons I prefer working alone.

[hatesvampires]

Sounds pretty lonely.

You could always call on me if you need help, here.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

I don't even know who you are.

sorry for the late reply! unexpected hiatus

[hatesvampires]

Yeah, but you don't really know anyone here, do you? Yet the initiative expects you to work with everyone anyway.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

They expect a lot of things. Doesn't mean they'll get them.
