Odd Factory Workers To Stage Walkout As Soon As They Can Find Exit


Quote


The employees at the Odd Factory on Odranka have announced a walkout pending determination of which moving staircase will allow them access to the building’s exit.

The workers have called for enhanced safety standards, better pay and an end to the company’s refusal to install lights in the factory’s labyrinthian network of underground corridors built entirely from mirrors.

“I had hoped the entire shift could leave the building together,” floor manager Jonnar told Xenonion, “but when we tried to go outside, the main entrance just didn’t exist any more.”

Jonnar stated the walkout was prompted after one of his colleagues, Timaphon, got trapped in the floor during one of the building’s many hourly random wall re-arrangements.

“We think Timaphon is still trapped in there with the fifteen other employees this has happened to over the last week,” Jonnar mused, pointing out the muffled screams for help echoing from deep within the walls.

The workers report attempts to follow emergency exit signs have also ended in failure, often leading the party in circles, or towards doors which only seem to get further away the closer they get.

“We tried to regroup in the break room, but then we ended up on the ceiling,” Jonnar stated. “However, we think we’ve now spotted one of the high-speed moving staircases that leads to the roof, so we’re just biding our time until it comes nearby.”

At the time of press, managers from the Odd Factory confirmed that the walkout has now been called off after workers went through an exit door only to end up right back where they started this morning.

This is one reason why I end up playing as the Empire all the time (NSFW - swearing)...  ;D 







I predict an upsurge of people choosing the Viking culture after this!

I don't get it. What is that on the cover? An Orc?

Thanks to the Xenonion, it's become a running gag that Universe Universalis is a popular grand-strategy game within the Stellaris universe.  It's an affectionate parody of Crusader Kings, EU, and Stellaris (natch).  This latest "ad" is a playful dig at the recent announcement for Stellaris' Overlord DLC.  :hehe:

Not an Orc.  A Necroid, I think?

A very interesting exploit.  I wonder if CA will patch it out when they release the Remastered version...  :hehe:
