I’m on this server in a game and the Spanish guild is 4 times the size of every other guild on the server and also they’re assholes.

What topics can I drop into worldchat that will probably cause issues among them?

I know fuck all about ways to be a wrecker with the spanish. What will make spanish people mad at other spanish people? Ideally they end up hating each other and split.

Update: The #1 killscore player on their group has now taken to regularly spamming “parla catala o emigrate” into worldchat. This is probably going to rub somebody the wrong way so things are going smoothly for day 1 of my op.

    Scream “TERUEL NO EXISTE!!!” at them

    Say literally anything about Catalonia

    Call them discount British Nazis who failed at emulating either even with a head start.

      TERUEL NO EXISTE

      What’s this one about?

      Catalonia

      I considered this but don’t really know if it’ll hit unless there are people from there among them?

        What’s this one about?

        Spanish urban/rural divide and regionalism. Teruel is an extremely small province that had close to its entire population leave for the city, much like a lot of the Spanish countryside. There’s a niche political party and slogan, ‘Teruel Existe,’ that claims to represent the rural population’s interest. Naturally they’re Hitlerites, so “Teruel No Existe” is what a lot of Spanish anarchists and communists say to troll them. Admittedly I don’t really think this would be all that effective, it’s a niche party and most people aren’t gonna care too much about the slogan.

        I considered this but don’t really know if it’ll hit unless there are people from there among them?

        It definitely hits regardless. Spanish politics revolves around maintaining stability in the face of several separatist movements. If they’re not from the autonomous regions or the other regions that have separatist movements, they’ll still have a take about how those terrorists need to be stopped or something to that effect. Much like the ‘Teruel no existe’ thing, it’s about regional tensions.

          Neat. Given these are freeze-gamer sweats there’s a good chance they’re reactionary. If you have more, a bucket full of options will stop me from being too repetitive.

              Sorry comrade I’m not familiar with spannish politics. What I learned about em especially from catalonians is from football. There was a rush to what was called an illegal referendum in 2017. Was around the majority of em that wanted independence. Now from what I saw the majority don’t. I need to read onto what changed their minds. For this thread mention barcelona real madrid rivalry. The rest will sort itself. Especially since madrid just got poleaxed by barca

    Imagine being fan of real madrid club de franco? (close to catalonia trolling, but more divisive).

    Also, their disgraced former king is up to mountains of women in dubai (unless i mistake monarchs)

      Do you have some context for this that might help me better understand it when using it?

        Real madrid is widely hated by all spanish people outside of madrid and plastics (which young people might be so ymmv)

        https://thesefootballtimes.co/2017/09/27/real-madrid-and-the-franco-regime/

        the gist is this, they ignited rivalry with barcelona during his reign (with almost certainly shenanigans in 11-1 game), and then, later, were wildly successful (more than man u for example), so trolling that they were pet team (getting favors and money) of fascist dictator is a good bit (your most famous team is pet project of a fascist etc)

      During the war, Bernabéu fought on the side of Francisco Franco’s Nationalists under the general Agustín Muñoz Grandes.

      (relevancy is that real stadium in madrid is named after him)

      He is, lol. but I think some right-wingers hate him because he dismissed a bunch of far-right francoists for liberal and conservatives, and because he was against the 1981 coup (there are some theories he was in favor, but decided to betray the coup leaders for an easy political gain with the Liberals, Socdems and Communists) and went live on TV to mock the coup leaders. He basically made illegal to arrest him, and he made a bunch of liberal things. Eventually he basically gave up on being the head of state and let the socdems govern for him while he went on a world trip doing money laundering and hanging out with hookers.

        It would have to be repackaged in like “imagine paying taxes for your king debauchery, you are like 17th century peasant”. (being a brit here presents some glass houses issues tbh)

        Young male shitheads might just think he is a legend otherwise

    European Spanish? Trash talk Real Madrid, say good things about Muslims, Catalonia, Andalusia, Galicia or the Basque. Some of them can get angry if you say something like Mexico/Argentina/Chile is more influential to the Spanish-Speaking world than Spain, or that Spain is just a colony of these countries. Mostly they usually just really hates muslims.

    what kind of spanish are they? (eg castillian, mexican, argentinian, etc.)

    brainworms will hit harder if you tailor it to culture AND language.

      They’re Spanish spanish. It’s a European mmo server.

      I’m absolutely dead serious about splitting them lol we can’t win against them until they’re broken in half at least, winning requires underhandedness here

        soccer’s a big thing for them; but they sound like gamers based on what you’ve shared so ymmv:

        make comments that suggest that their best players are bush league and that the portuguese, brazilians, and the british are the real pros; it matters that it’s these specific countries and be sure that real madrid is in there somewhere. don’t be obvious about it since it’s already hit dated meme territory by this point so they’re probably mostly over it by now.

        if you want blood: go after the old king and his children except for the current king; that guy is made out of teflon since nothing seems to stick to him like reagan.

        they’ve been embroiled in corruption controversies so severe that the old king is in self exile to avoid prison time and the spanish royalists try REALLY hard to pretend that he simply retired. it will be more effective if most of them are catalonian or basque; you can tell by their accents and by the way they spell. (ie sort of like color vs colour but because they’re different languages who have to use spanish instead of a british/american like relationship). it’ll get blood because the monarchy is divisive for the peoples the monarchy screwed over to get back into power and, very recently, to also maintain it; especially for the basque and the catalonians. warning: this might get you labeled as a spanish tankie since the monarchy (BARELY) enjoys majority support rn and the royalists are spain’s ruling class; or atleast the rich ones are anyways…

      While making them angry is extremely funny the main thing I need is whatever will drive conflict among them. Trolling them overall is good entertainment but doesn’t achieve the goal of damaging them internally to the extent that they break up.
