The only reason those mods are not in the OP is because there is no space, and those mods are associated with shitposters or are rarely updated.
The only reason anybody reports that is because you use it to derail the thread, nothing more.

Of course there's no space when you waste it on two useless warnings. Also, most generals use the first post as a place for extra links, but you seem really bent on shitposting the thread with another warning that attracts nothing but drama

>associated with shitposters
This is meaningless.

>The only reason anybody reports that is because you use it to derail the thread
If you manufacture a drama over mod links of course that will derail the thread.

The warnings are there for a reason.

To you maybe, but people don't like shitposting in general and if your mod list is filled with shitty meme mods, it's natural that you get adversity.

>If you manufacture a drama over mod links of course that will derail the thread.
You're the one creating drama, with the all the anti-HPM nonsense that does nothing but trigger autists, there is no organised "grandi youth" or "HPM defence force" people are just tired of you shitters attacking mod simply because it is popular.

>Do you remember the last time someone played with Commiemod or Liangmod, yeah me neither. The links are more visible in the thread, where they belong.
It's not like those mods are often updated so there is no reason to kick up a shitstorm over it.

Only you are upset about it. When nobody posts the links I always see at least a couple of posts asking for unHPM and alternate v2 mods.

>people are just tired of you shitters attacking mod simply because it is popular.
When HPM fucks up, legions of shills appear to defend his decisions to the death, like No Iberia, Wallonia-France union, Vienna award borders in Transylvania, the Liquor and Steel prices etc... The HPMIDF is real me m8. We simply don't want the thread to become passive yes-men when it comes to that mod.

Why don't people understand that a kumbaya we all stand together mentality will only pacify us as a race and lead to our inevitable extermination at the hands of aliens?

Earth is our testing ground, we need to divide ourselves and constantly compete and struggle to determine who is on top. We need to ensure that one day when we begin spreading throughout the galaxy and beyond we have our best most formidable representation of humanity we could come up with on Earth. Otherwise we will end up as slaves or simply genocided by some xeno scum.

It goes back to having complicted legal codes that stretch back to before Napoleon. Hell, there is shit from before Weimar in our public law.

Common law is much sexier in that regard. Courts just constantly update anglo law so that businesses don't need to put up with tons of legal effort.

Why do you think the EU is in this state? Because the Germans and the fucking French built it up and crammed French bureaucracy all the way up its arse.

That's mostly the norm in Germany though. Only some of the more useless state employees and school teachers get a holiday like that here.
For example, my dad used to work in a ministry and he didn't have a scheduled holiday, instead he had I think up to 31 days per year that he could take off. That's why I was so surprised over a normal, private company having a scheduled holiday like that.

>B-but the PLC is ok because Pildsudski had a wank thinking about it xDxD

Who the fuck reads such a shit language anyways?

Nah, I know your pain. Just make a submod, and put it in. That's the best way I've learned, to get around modders who don't want to do something. It may actually migrate back to the base mod.
