I feel that would be funnier in the meme's normal form: "why the fuck...do you keep playing rats?"

The Fortress/Market Square one is probably intended as a question when there is no trashing.

Uh, yes, the joke is on me. It wouldn't be very polite to cite another real person as the idiot, but there's nothing wrong with citing oneself.

Wow, I just realized that Fortress is, like, the ultimate Governor counter.

The answer to the age-old riddle:

"Why did the chicken open Fortress/Market Square?" 
"Because Governor was on the board!"

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

I can see it.

Edit: Although I can't see how Fortress really counters Governor. It only does something against the remodel effect, as best I can tell, and that's the least used option on Governor. I guess the idea is if they start turbo remodelling at endgame you're getting maybe an extra Duchy out of it, maybe two? Ehh.

But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

No, I mean I tried to post an image in response to his, but it didn't show up.

Don't use quickmeme if you can help it. It doesn't let you copy the image directly, because it's terrible. Best I've been doing is opening the source and finding the image directly (easy if you know what to look for)

I'm not sure what that means.  I was using quickmeme, so I guess that's why it didn't work.  Ironically, the meme that I made was Sudden Clarity Clarence with the text "We could have an entire conversation using just memes".

It also greatly discourages them from using the Governor to remodel their Silvers or Estates. This is not as uncommon as you claim it to be. If your opponent doesn't end on a megaturn (which also isn't that uncommon), you don't lose the Fortress while also gaining a Duchy or another $5 card.

If you build an engine using Fortress as a source of +action and your opponent just goes for the Governor deck, being able to share every one of his remodels seems like a pretty potent counter to me.

I've rarely seen the remodel get used during the early/midgame. Then again, I have a lot less experience with Governor than most non-Guilds cards. Letting your opponent turn their Estates into Silvers/other $3's is often not much less useful than you turning Estates into $4's, although I guess certain key cards make it more common. And if your opponent does have a lot of Fortressess... don't use the remodel option? If you were banking on remodeling for something, then yeah I guess it counters it, but it seems pretty rare to me.

The KEY use of Governor early/midgame IMO is to remodel Silver --> Gov and buy a Gov to win the Gov split.  Yes the opponent free trashing copper is "bad" but it's no game breaker compared to a 6-4 or 7-3 Gov split.
