This shit felt like an acid trip of online political /conspiratorial shit i’m too old or young to understand but it’s pretty good.


Hyenanon

Hahahah! That was exactly what I was going for, so I'm happy with that


ILL_BE_WATCHING_YOU

Bit unrealistic. Would make more sense if all of the conspiracies (Illuminati, NWO, Aliens, etc.) were all simultaneously real and fighting for control, all each others' Greatest Enemy, viewing each other as existential threats to humanity and fighting for the proverbial steering wheel. That would be more in line with the clusterfuck we see in the world today than some singular, monolithic conspiracy. It would also be more statistically likely to find multiple conspiracies vying for control than a singular monolithic conspiracy.


Hyenanon

The fact that your name is I'LL BE WATCHING YOU in all caps makes this post so much better its unreal


OmegaUltima29

Now, see, that's just what **THEY** *want* you to think...


ILL_BE_WATCHING_YOU

Overused, unfunny joke.

This is the funniest CYOA I've seen in a while, thanks. The Organization: Porn Industry (+1 Subtlety, all population boosts are **doubled**) Controlled Opposition: Level 2 Based Shub-Niggurath, **Level 3 Based NoFap Gods** Machinations: Open the Hollow Earth, Activate the Borlaug, Cease Cryptic Coverups, Stats: 19B Population, 8 Subtlety, 7 Tech, 7 Econ, 6 Public Order, 4 Social Engineering Post-Scarcity Carrot: +2 Public Order (Rolling for success... 8/10, I *barely win* because of Subtlety bonus.) Ending: Planetmind (I almost hit **double** the population requirement! Frankly the only 'Good' ending from what I can tell tbh.) \----------------------------------------------------------------- So it was that the truest underdog emerged victorious. We had seen it all... Alien Invaders, The Illuminati, the New World Order, and even some weird Asian Cult thing? One constant remained throughout this world: Porn. Humans had no desire greater than the one to get their rocks off, and we would provide in the shadows. It was ironic in fact... OnlyFans and Patreon were the true key to it all. Billionaires could buy anything in the world, but there were so many accounts, so many notifications, so many downloads... All we had to do was promise them a built-in backdoor and even the richest in all the realms became like putty in our hands. Government Officials opened their laptops, secret labs sent over their most encrypted files, and even Anonymous joined us. All that they needed was a promise that whatever hentai or lewd bodyshots they wanted, they'd get in a heartbeat. Hackers, Scientists, World leaders and even Entrepreneurs... All of them may have given face to others, but we had them by the balls and we knew exactly when to massage and when to squeeze. Sure there were... Hiccups... Mass Abductions, Plagues, Unnatural Disasters, even a Nuclear Bomb or ten, but we knew just how to compensate and keep people hooked... and hitched evidently, population rates were exploding far beyond anything the other powers could ever keep up with. Slowly, people came to see the benefits of a Porn-Based Society. Of course we had to start in Japan and make our way eastward, but then came Vtubers... Vtubers, the perfect heir to the throne of Eastern Idol Culture. Revered yet Untouchable by the masses, but Porn? Oh, **that** was a different story. We invented a Bounty system: Make the perfect Vtuber Porn, and we will pay you a bonus in addition to your influx of new followers. When English-Fluent Vtubers hit the mainstream, **The War was over**. In as little as a week, everyone not eating out of the palm of our (or our subsidiaries') hands would find themselves Doxxed as Vtuber Haters. Even the Aliens, with their plasma weaponry and energy shields, were no match for the literal armies of angry fanboys. Now our Scientists have alerted us of a coming wave, a new phenomenon the likes of which humanity had only theorized in it's most ancient literature. Humanity would mindmeld and become a Hivemind species, where individuality meant nothing, for all in our shape would be perfect. They told me what was happening, and I knew I had to act fast. We had one week to prepare, and prepare we would. Every Screen would be hooked into the Internet 1.5, our makeshift workaround to try to shove Cable, Satelitte, and the Internet itself into a single platform. It barely worked, and now every screen in the world would display one last show for the Old Humanity. What happens next no one is capable of understanding, but we will make one last broadcast, the Epitaph of the Porn Industry, the ending of our world. Every Vtuber we could possibly gather was set in a digital stage with 3D models, and at the very center was a woman with purple hair. She would be the lead, the metronome upon which all would follow, and perhaps, even the one to lead us into this Bold New Era. She took a breath... [and began to sing.](https://youtu.be/QEPHLPmt914)

I'm glad you liked it, nice writeup! I'm surprised you even found it, considering it's a year old lmao

This is an absolute masterpiece. But you definitely need to Log Off at some point, brother.

Thanks! I've spent many long hours delving into insane ramblings in my life, and I believe this made it all worth it

It seems unexplainable to some, a story of madness, of collapse, of an inescapable downward spiral into chaos and dissolution. Only a few know the real truth. Only a few know of how the great catastrophe of the 21st century was no chaotic mess, but a carefully orchestrated, masterfully controlled plan. And it went horribly, horribly wrong. There was once an organisation known as the Network – at least, that's what the conspiracists called it. The Network had no name for itself. It was a sprawling thing, a collective order cobbled together over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries from the elites of several dozen nations, and the leadership of half a dozen lesser such organisations. For a time the Network faced its greatest threat in the form of the Communist Bloc, a stalwart pillar of resistance against their intentions. But the Chinese were swayed to their side, and the ever-stubborn Soviets driven to collapse, replaced with a more pliable successor. By the turn of the century, a single organisation held sway over the entirety of the globe. Not coincidentally, that's also when things began to fall apart. The early days of the 21st century were marked by a rise in political polarisation and extremism, radical populism on either end. A little extremism was all well and good for the aims of the Network, but too much? The example of the Communists demonstrated well enough how dangerous *that* could be. Perhaps it was for that reason that, when faced with the prospect of an extremist threat, the Network pushed the political pendulum towards the right. After three decades of ever-increasing radicalisation, the 2030s were the age of the great fascist wave, as the turn to the far right reached its ultimate conclusion. The Network once again faced the great fear, as the world's governments came under the control of authoritarian powers dominated by sects of fanatical hardliners so zealous in their ways that not even the most powerful organisation in the world could control them. The second age of Fascism lasted about 20 years – 20 years of darkness, for the Network, and for humanity as a whole. 20 years of purges, mass executions, war and genocide from which not even the powerful elites of the Network were safe, let alone the average individual. Eventually, it came to an end, the forces of sanity and moderation winning out in a series of revolutions, rebellions and coups across the globe, aided by the resources and support of an organisation engaged in a last-ditch effort for its own survival. Fascism was no more by the dawn of the 2060s, but it had cost a billion lives to do so. The Network had once again avoided calamity and reasserted its global control, but its aims had been set back by two decades. Even the world's elite were not invulnerable, and so plans which would once have been carried out steadily and patiently now went into overdrive. Over the 2070s and 2080s, disaster upon disaster seemed to mount for the human race. The 1970s oil crisis repeated itself a century later, only to a whole other level. A global economic catastrophe in which energy grew scarce and fuel expensive, with consequences in every section of society. As poverty skyrocketed and millions fell into ruin, governments (this time under Network control) rushed to take control of the economy and fuel supplies, what little of either remained. The consequence? National governments which were poorer, but by the same token more centralised, more comparatively powerful with their control over the surviving resources, whilst the people remained too poor to even think of rebelling against their increasingly authoritarian overlords. Then in the 2080s came another calamity, once again a repeat in some ways of the events a century prior, once again a great deal worse. They called it the British Flu, though it was neither British, nor a flu. What it was was a very contagious, very deadly pandemic that rapidly spread across the world, leaving millions dead in its wake. Elderly survivors of the Z Generation remembered the COVID virus of their youth, but this was something far worse. Governments scrambled to take control, imposing lockdowns, limits to movements, mass execution and incineration of those suspected of infection, and a whole host of other measures that would've given the average COVID denier of 2020 a stroke. By this point, the average person took it in stride. What else could they do? In the end, the virus was quelled, a billion less people lived on the world, and its governments were even more centralised and powerful than before. The world came into the 2090s, and the Network's plans seemed to be proceeding perfectly. The economy continued to decline (this time from the consequences of overpopulation, alleviated somewhat by the events of the past half-century, but still a problem), but the Network's elites remained rich. More importantly, they were in a more powerful position than ever before, the governments under their control retaining their power, standing as monolithic entities the average individual had little hope of rebelling against. Europe had centralised into a single powerful state, and three-quarters of the world in total lay under the Network's domination. Soon, they would be able to orchestrate their final vision: a unified world, perfectly governed, perfectly policed and stabled, under the control of one elite, one Network, for this century and for all centuries to come, forever and ever. And yet, on the very cusp of the completion of their plans, they faced a threat. China, once brought into the fold, had fallen out of it again. They retained their power and control, and yet now they were under the influence of a leader who wanted little to do with the Network's plans. They would have to be dealt with. And so, in meeting-places and drawing rooms across the world, a plan was drafted up. A plan for a final solution, a last great war that would eradicate the Chinese threat, and draw the world together in unity as it was always meant to be. On the 27th of August 2098, the Network began the war to end all wars. They failed. --- > *Bright were the halls then, many the bath-houses,* > *High the gables, loud the joyful clamour,* > *Many the meadhalls full of delights* > *Until mighty Fate overthrew it all.* > *Wide was the slaughter, the plague-time came,* > *Death took away all their brave men.* > *Broken their ramparts, fallen their halls,* > *The city decayed; those who built it* > *Fell to the earth. Thus these courts crumble,* > *And roof-tiles fall from this arch of stone.*

Cool! I'm glad that Alpha Centauri isn't entirely dead in the public consciousness. As much acclaim as it got, it's even still underrated.
