I begged and pleaded with her day after day But she packed my suit case and sent me on my way She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket. I put my Walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.…

I'm trying to rework it so it's "Dark Prince of Um-brey" instead, but I must admit I'm struggling

I should invest on some Mad Max outfit if I have to go to work dodging rioting shits.

I haven't been exactly playing tourist but if you google it it should pop up, it's been covered by international media.
This happened though, after the police broke up the riots, this happened. But why, you say? Well, this city is old. Medieval-old. That means the city centre is surrounded by a moat, there's bridges for that, but only 7. Three of which are narrow pedestrian/bicycle bridges. This was one of them.
All the police had to do is break up the centre group to prevent looting, then they just had to... Wait. Because there is no other way out of the city centre. Aside from what that guy attempted, and considering the water is only slightly above freezing, well... I guess you can't be fined if you're dead.
Or you dodge the fine but your clothes and smartphone are trashed.
But this is the galaxy brain level these shits operate on.

I barely have the energy to keep up on the riots in my country much less the madness happening elsewhere. I imagine that was quite a cold swim!
At least no one got shot.

People got blasted with water cannons though.
We need more water cannons.
But seriously, Firetruck these people. Torching COVID test sites and trying to vandalise hospitals as well as just straight op looting and shit for what, two weeks of not being able to grab a beer at a friend's place or something.
There is not even a cause that you can have a fraction of understanding for, it's just angry Urani who disagree with the world. They don't want covid, they don't want lockdowns, they don't want vaccines, they want as-it-was and they want it now.
And there seems to be a lot of folks like that in quite a few countries as of late.

Ignorance is a deadly and highly contagious disease.

It's worse than that.
All those zombie/deadly disease movies where you are like "nah, people aren't that stupid."
Turns out they are, for a large portion of the population, civility is like a thin coat of gold paint over a turd of anger, spite, resentment and bugFiretruck stupidity that only holds when the thing isn't shaken around too much.

Yeah.
Honestly that’s been the greatest lesson over the past year. My expectations for humanity have drastically lowered from where they were in 2019.

At the risk of dampening my own enthusiasm, I will share that I am tentatively — ever so tentatively! — planning for an Unbound game on Thanksgiving weekend. My opponent will be Blindwater Congregation. I’m trying to persuade him to use all 5 gator warlocks at once and make this some monstrous ~400 point insanity. So! Without me sharing my chosen theme force, or the chosen scenario: which casters seem like a sure bet against Gators?

Karchev, Old Witch 2, Irusk2 and Vlad1? It's a big game: One beefcake and three casters with a large "area of operations"? Alternatively, go Prime: Sorscha1, Vlad1, Butcher1. Then escalate with Irusk1 or go new with Kozlov. Yeah. Honestly that’s been the greatest lesson over the past year. My expectations for humanity have drastically lowered from where they were in 2019. Hm, there's plenty of good people, more actually. But there are still a lot of people who would readily burn it all down because of belly feels.

At the risk of giving away one of my five caster choices (here, on an obscure message board, against an opponent who probably has never heard of Lormahordes...), I will say this. Kozlov has always been such an amazingly solid choice in Unbound that he’s been in every single one of my Unbound lists since he released. He’s very flexible and compliments almost every single theme quite well.
So, Kozlov — especially new Kozlov! — is in!
