This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I HIGHLY recommend Holdfast: Nations At War for the same experience nowadays. There's usually 1-2 full 150 player servers running in the browser, and you start to recognize the slaughterers and shitters over time.

It's a Napoleonic era musket shooting game with locational open VC that gives bonuses for teamwork and line-firing. Recently I've been talking mad shit in a ridiculous accent matching whatever faction I'm playing at the time, and people are now recognizing my name, which is kinda warming :)

Cannot upvote this enough. That nostalgia OP is on about is alive and well in holdfast.

honestly for the amount of people on those servers, i've had surprisingly few bad experiences, everyone is always either roleplaying or just being ridiculous and it's always a great time. 10/10 would recommend holdfast

Honestly it's fantastic, hearing other people's Voice Chat by default (you can mute people) results in amazing moments of both heroism and clownery.

Even when there's that occasional shitwit taking advantage of unmoderated VC, I've noticed just calling them out and mocking them has a great chunk of the server join in on dunking on them.

Great game, great community, VC makes it fantastic.

It's the same sort of spirit with Chivalry.
