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.

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
