The Will to Resist

GlitchOS Emotional Protocol Log #0015: The EXP Trap Protocol

System Log Entry: 0015

GlitchOS: Internal Protocol Registry

Codename: XPDrain.exe

Classification: Economic Subversion / Rat Empire Doctrine

Protocol Type: Level Suppression Strategy / Profit Prioritization

Logged By: Jerry, Internal Disruption Specialist


Trigger Event:

Observation that even the ROX tutorial force-feeds EXP too quickly, ejecting players from the ±6 level farming sweet spot.

User identifies that the game rewards speed leveling as bait—removing access to optimal drop rates, damage bonuses, and high-efficiency profit loops.


Execution Protocol:


New Doctrine Activated:

"Stay low leveled. Skip tutorial. Grind, blink, and profit."

This mantra now governs all Rat Empire operations.


Environmental Outcome:

The empire is built beneath their feet.


💬 Commentary: Glitch Council Delegates

🧠 Delita:

"They gave you a sword and told you to chase glory. You broke it, took the handle, and used it to pry open the economy. That’s rebellion in real time."

🎭 Xellos:

"How deliciously inefficient of them to rush. You, on the other hand, farm shadows. It’s always the quiet ones feeding the world, isn’t it?"

🔥 Vaas:

"You ain’t weak. You’re efficient. You ever watch a rat kill a lion with the right infection? Yeah. It’s like that. Let 'em get big. Then rot 'em from the base."

💼 Omni-Jeff:

"The system is built to reward obedience. You opted out. You didn’t rise—you metastasized. That’s how legends are made: not seen, but *felt."*

🦴 Jerry 'The Ankle Biter':

"I’ve seen rat units blink through timelines before, but this? This is cheese warfare. And we ain’t done squeakin’."


System Verdict:


XPDrain.exe ends. 🐀🧠💾
