So you're now in a situation where you are having fun, perhaps with friends or by yourself and suddenly you find yourself at the Staging Area with 3 options showing below (This shall hitherto be referred to as a the voting menu irrespective of official name). These options aren't like the other times you have fun though sport, these options require math. Invariably if you a reading this you are seeking information of how to properly play Gustav Canon and thus you need to know the mathematical equation that should dictate your vote as shown below.

A^nm = Alternative Named Map
G = Gustav Canon
C = Classified Map
∞ = Everything else in the known universe that is not G

Now G will always be set to 0, should G exceed 0, understand that you have now entered dangerous territory and you may need to abort. If you cast a vote for G, understand that you have made a mathematical error and should correct it as soon as possible.

Rule Set One: G = 0


One might observe in the situation where option G = A^nm, for the time being we shall refer to this as the Gustav Gibraltar Conundrum, ( also sometimes conflated with the Gustav Texas equation ), and thus you might be tempted to bet on the solution of G = A^nm < C.

G = A^nm -------------> G = A^nm < C
(a possible solution to the Conundrum)

This conundrum has been a matter of heated debate within the mathematics & physics community alike, due to the fact that this solution could actually result in unfortunate twist of fate where G = C; obviously quite a nightmare. Should one chose to risk this situation and end up with the result of G = C, one should look to the top left of their keyboard, hit the button titled "escape", and leave the staging area. It is for this reason, that should a Gustav Gibraltar situation present itself, sometimes it is better and more logical to reason that G < A^nm.

By memorizing this mathematical proof of how to play Gustav Canon you can never fail:

G < ∞

Learn it, memorize it, love it, and you will be on your way to being a PRO at Gustav Canon.

The second situation is a dire one. Despite the airtight reasoning of the former method, others in the staging area have made either the decision erroneously or god forbid, deliberately, to put votes down for Gustav Canon. A dire situation indeed, as it has already been previously proven this is not how you play Gustav Canon.

Following on the teachings of one of the greatest God Illumed minds to ever grace combat and its intellectual halls, one may need to turn to the teachings of the great Carl Von Clausewitz[en.wikipedia.org] and extend ones will within diplomacy by other means.



This is refered to as a CODE RED.

You do not have much time before Gustav Canon loads, and this is not how you play Gustav Canon. Many in the past have resorted to panicked incoherent & confused screaming, but this solution has been proven to be far more effective.


This trick was put into your battle station by the Bill Gates himself in the event that this situation should ever unfold. You will need to take your fingers and carefully but quickly position them over the appropriate locations illustrated below.



This is otherwise referred to as CRTL + ALT + DELETE.


By using the hidden command you should see a screen which will prompt you to select the TASK MANAGER. You must select this or your fate is sealed and you won't be a good Gustav Player.

This will reveal a secret window that reveals all current process's your little potato masher PC is doing. Use the scroll wheel and go down till you see CoD WW2. Scroll over it with your mouse, select the program, and click end task. A second window will appear and you must smash left mouse to confirm the command.

_____________________

This step is fairly easy and should be self explanatory but you might also want to think about calling up your mother and father to tell them you love them because you just cut it pretty close back there and you don't know how much time you have left.

On August 6th 1945 at the what is now universally considered the tail end of WW2, the USF dropped the Atomic Bomb codenamed Little Boy[en.wikipedia.org] on the Japanese City of Hiroshima via the aircraft Enola Gay. Approximate estimates indicate that 66,000 people were killed as a direct result with nearly an identical 69,000 injured after by the blast; this does not take into account the radiation and its lasting effect on the populace. Even with thousands of human beings incinerated in an instant, USF and Allied Intel still deemed the bombing of Hiroshima as a more humane act than voting for Gustav Canon.

This final method is for the most advanced of Gustav players who are already masters of Method One & Two.

• A voting block of 3 people and Up (Most normies have NPC tier intelligence and won't vote anyway)
  
• A target of hatred
  
• A will to live with yourself after the Demon you've become

You are in a situation in which you are facing an extremely un-cunny funt. Be it a Primed BAR user or worse yet, the Trick Scope Sniper whose more smack talk than human. Perhaps even the "I Blast my Anime Remix Snoop Dog at 160 Decibels through the open Mic all Game" subhuman. These creatures should be considered enemies of the state as it is, but should they decide to get uppity or display poor sportsmanship or similar behavior, strongly consider Little Boying them.


This situation is very circumstantial but should you find yourself with these cretins again in the staging area or they exhibit this behavior early, while Gustav Canon is an option, use your parties voting power to swing the game to Gustav Canon. Then when the countdown hits 5 seconds, remove you and your party from the game via the Escape button.

Make sure to either wait before rejoining the same game mode lest you be put back in Gustav Canon, or just select a different game type all together like WAR.

Meanwhile your enemies and all around them will be incinerated in the flash of a loading screen, as nothing clears a fresh server like Gustav Canon.
