    When your command moors and tell your team that we need scouts in jeeps constantly
    sabotaging the enemy refs and you have zero jeeps and scouts the whole round... :(

    cynism isn't defined yet, but these are close:

    1. angrytainment
    To become angry for the intend of personal amusement, in particular about political, social or sports-related topics. Angrytainment often manifests in raging monologues and is primarily favored and exercised by intellectuals and cynists all over the world. Mostly unawarely performed, it helps a person to relieve stress and rage and can therefore be considered as a carthatic activity. An angrytaining speech can include, but is not limited to: polemic criticism, profanities, exaggerations and ideological litany.
    A: "What is the deal with f*ing emos these days? Their expression of depressive individualism is entirely fake. Capitalists are already buying into the trend, it is a bastard child of goth and grunge. Back in the days when I was young..."
    B: "Sorry to interrupt your angrytainment, but I gotta go."

    I think you mean irony. Cynicism is different.

    As much as I hate that annoying 90's meme of "Thats not irony", but no, that is cynicism.

    Cynicism is like not believing something. It's too good to be true etc. It's being cynical.

    irony - negation of the meaning to exagerate
    sarcasm - the "offensive" form of irony
    cynicism - negativism

    at least thats it in german ...

    id call it ironic too - even if the order to have jeeplulz was meant sarcastic :D
    if it was cynicism letting you use sarcasm, id reconsider playing empires for a while ;)

    Do you know what word wrapping is?

    FYI, this forum word wraps by itself, it's a very useful feature that they invented a few decades ago.

    um no, this is definitely irony.

    cynicism would be a negative outlook based on this ironic observation. (Or just a type of negative outlook in general)
