It is easy. I will do what your mind cannot for you. Imagine a game. Everyone boots in, all is well. You roll a fun roll, say, a Voodoo. Others are probably not as fortunate as you and roll some boring rolls, like Bleeder or Trapper or Maid. The game starts, and you pick some random fool to die while you curse someone say, PhoenixWright, with Objection, because you know he likes to say that.
Phoenix is one of those unfortunate souls to have rolled an unfortunate role. He is bored by the roll the gods have given him, but he is not trolling, because Sandbox does not troll anymore. He does not suicide, he does not veg, he plays the game because he's here to have fun. Surely enough, you get him to say Objection and he falls to the curse you have bestowed upon him.
If this was Sandbox in the present day, however, he would veg, he would troll, and he will suicide. If the latter happens, you are almost guaranteed to have a broken game, and as the rule with broken games go, the next game your role will be boring too. The cycle goes on and the lobby becomes an endless machine of trolling, an endless machine of hate.
It's obvious to any sane man which is better, and if Sandbox gets their heads out of the Sun, then they'll choose the correct and proper answer.
I'm sorry if I got too real. I'm sorry if I'm being too earnest. But this standard operating procedure of Sandbox has got to stop. Day after day, more people stop playing Sandbox and start playing in Main or Competitive. When asked why, they say "dead game". But I know why. It's the childish, the trollish, and the toxic behavior that warps our lobby that drives people away. It's your memes, it's your vegs, it's your trolling that forces people to leave Sandbox for greener pastures.
And that's all I want, a Sandbox without the negativity. A positive Sandbox. A Sandbox that looks at the calendar and thinks, "tomorrow will be a great day!", rather than "I'm going to policy this noavi" or, "PhoenixWright is gonna get host killed or I suicide, or "YOLO shooting", etc. That's all I want, and that's all I'm asking for.
Furansu, let me preface this by saying that to me, you are special. You are not like the others who cloud this lobby. To me, you are an open book, you hold no mysteries for me. Unlike them, who befuddles my mind every time I try to read them, or any time I try to examine them. To me you are a familiar face in an ocean of my ignorance.
Yes, you, of all peoples. Yes you, the enigma that hides herself in every picture she shares. Yes you, the woman who thinks herself a bird. When I see your posts, I do not know whether I should give you conversation or give you bread crumbs. You are not like the others, not because you confuse yourself with various avians, but because I know you, inside and out.
I know you are not a troll, like the others. I know that you take things a bit more seriously, unlike the others. I know that above all else, you call yourself a memer. But riddle me this, what is a meme? What is a meme but a joke? And what is the result of that joke? Nothing. It's a joke. As the famous Comedian once said, "It's all a joke."
So what does that really mean, when you identify yourself as a memer? You are saying, you are nothing. You say, "nice eggs". What does that mean? Absolutely nothing. You say, "don't get butthurt when you get memed on". What does that mean? Again, absolutely nothing. You say, "ruh roh". Again, what does that mean? Say it with me folks, incredibly, fulfillingly, undoubtedly, nothing, nothing at all.
To meme is to be nothing, and that is what you are. That is what makes it easy for me to read you, inside and out. That is what separates you from the pack. Rather than being everything I don't know about, you are nothing that I don't know about.
That is the most infantile cop out I have ever read. The real question that you, and the other trolls in your 4chan posse must consider is, "why am I being a miserable, unfunny, troll?" That is what you ought to consider because at the end of the day, no one is forcing you to be the bad guy. If you were a great guy, like me, I would not hesitate, and in fact, I would drop whatever I'm doing right now to play a game with you.
But you're not a great guy. You, like your 4chan clique are not great people. You are terrible people, really. If we're honest, you're not even the people we'd feel sorry for if something terrible were to happen to you. In fact, I'd venture to say that it would give me, and other nice guys, a nice abundance of schadenfreude.
Why are you here, really? Why do you do what you do, earnestly? If we take away our filters, why must you be such a negative influence to this lobby and to yourselves? What possesses you to do this? Why aren't you allowed to have fun? What horrible event happened to force you to come to Sandbox and pollute it with your vegging, with your YOLO shots, and with your other ill thought out actions?

I can't tell if you're serious or not but no one is making you play EM.
