[Announcement] Why you should love Bad Rats

The Rats Live on!

Look, I'm not going to sugar coat it. We all know trading is dead. We've only steadily been getting a few hundred new traders instead of several hundred and there's not even a new [H] [W] post every few seconds like in the days of old.

We need something to help boost moral and replace our dwindling barter tools, and the answer was as idiotic as it was brilliant. That answer was of course, our timeless classic Bad Rats.

Bad Rats is why the word epic was written. It is an epiphany of video game creation, the pinnacle of level design, its character development is the lone star shining brightly on a cloudy night that allows the lost fisherman to find his way home through the dredge of contemporary talking plot devices, it succeeds in creating an unparallelled, deep, truly emotional and life changing story arc that may take us years of critical study to fully appreciate.

I'm repeating things you already know of course, so let me just tell you how this effects you:

  1. Bad Rats is now the official SGS barter currency. We are dropping support for keys, gems, and other dwindling barter items. Please do not offer these currencies going forward, unless of course it is to procure your Bad Rats stock.

  2. Offers and posts that do not include Bad Rats may (and will) be randomly removed. We won't tell you when they're removed and they'll still remain visible to you, but you'll find that not offering to buy or sell bad rats significantly decreases your chances to receive offers here.

  3. Members who do not own Bad Rats are subject to be banned. We will do random gestapo-esque raids and will not accept any excuses. Your main and alt accounts should all own at least one copy.

  4. Don't want to sell or buy Bad Rats? Then we don't want you here. Shoo, Get, AWAY WITH YOU HEATHEN!

But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Bad Rats.

Bring them by the SGS headquarters building. We're the one with the giant rat bodyguards armed with military hardware.

Hello. Of course we should love bad rats. We are somewhat similar to them - feeding off specks of gifts and activation codes' leftovers. It's a pity I don't have a copy. My bad :-( I'll try to get one ASAP. Please don't ban me meanwhile!!!

I wouldn't mind it at all if this theme somehow got stuck on this subreddit.
