The real crumbs were metaphor code.

I mean hell, wheels within wheels, that are within wheels.

I was planning this whole sequence of events out from the getgo.

The players with 2012 join dates are all in the dethy, I think. Tayl0r was signaling the dethy members (except Jake) to her scumbuddies.

2016: Hero cowboy hydra game. They said they didn't have great reads on post #360 on D1. Something they admitted too. But that was forever ago so meh.

I’m mainly acting out of a few mental states.
1. Frustrated with this dance of double meanings and inside jokes.
2. Frustrated with this incessant shitposting despite numerous attempts at steering the conversation into a direction.
3. Annoyed at the number of lurkers. While I understand being busy, it does not make it any easier to stomach.
4. Confusion at this odd town bloc for, what I’ve seen, nearly non-existent reasons. I’ve yet to see a solid reason why Cabd’s behavior is town motivated, and I also fail to see that for Tammy and Syr, yet a fair few of my more confident town reads (specifically you, although that’s dropping faster than I’d like) proclaim that they are acting consistently with a town mentality.
I can empathize with all of this rn

y'all gave me a fair bit of work to do over the past couple days.

At risk of sounding like a piece of shit, I'm revoking my empathy here. Especialy with point 4, that feels a lot like scum trying to drive a wedge into the townblock seeing it again.

I'll throw you a bit of a bone here: out of all the potential CO combinations the only pairing for which the above statements could be valid is Colin and Sasha. The others have irreconcilable loss of synergy for one reason or another. And I think you'll find that Colin and Sasha aren't as compatible as their sibling bond would imply.

On an unrelated note:
VOTE: Nahdia
I know what general concept is being conveyed here but don't know enough background about these people in the game rn to conclude the full meaning.

I remember thinking this was a lover crumb and being like "okay that's a bit squicky for siblings to be lovers" and now I think that's actually the case but for someone other than Syr so that's a thing

I was actually operating with a looser framework of who the 2012 group was. Cabd was in it too. It mainly had to do with the interactions going on.

Cabd · Post Post #2657 (ISO) » Sat Oct 17, 2020 7:24 pm

Nah he was making a reference to our hydra.

Trust fund is the name of the hydra for cabd-syr

Whose heads are Colin and Sasha. (I'm Sasha)

If you aren't confident and headstrong, then what use is it to even say anything?

You think they're town because they said they didn't great reads in a game a long time ago?

Or am I misunderstanding your point?

fferyllt · Post Post #2660 (ISO) » Sat Oct 17, 2020 7:27 pm

Nah. That was Syr doing his own codetalk.

Syr was saying that of all his occasional hydra partners in this game, the only one he could possibly be scum with was Cabd. Colin ad Sasha are the heads of the Trust Fund hydra. The rest of his occasional hydra partners in this game are in the dethy.

btw did you know Prism and pops/Isis actually made a Hawke + Lash hydra and didn't call it Rebel Yell? That an option still if you guys wanna snatch it. If I'm in one I wanna do one with Andy, because I have maximum-stupid moments that are characteristic of him.

Bell · Post Post #2664 (ISO) » Sat Oct 17, 2020 7:32 pm

I'm sensitive to self meta and personality.
They freely admitted without even really being prompted for a reason they were being floaty and under committed as scum.
Here they're doing the exact opposite and I doubt their confrontational style changed. I would argue that how they admitted to it in that game would have been something that would ping me as being very different from their town game.
Here it's less clear. Consider me :\ with Alisae.

No, I think they're town for the game health posts They made. On the otherhand Gamma has a point about that town cluster wedge, they weren't aware of the game state at the time so it might have been something they felt they had to do.
I think DS can probably be read on whether their posts lean towards a pro-social or anti-social mindset.

Bell · Post Post #2665 (ISO) » Sat Oct 17, 2020 7:35 pm

The field is extremely narrow, the stakes feel fairly low. But Peta has a genuine point about complacency. So far, I don't have enough from DS to put them higher or lower then where they are. It was I think a waste of time to meta them with a 4 year hiatus and I feel dumb now.

Cabd · Post Post #2666 (ISO) » Sat Oct 17, 2020 7:36 pm

Stale meta has a terrible aftertaste.

. One of you two had a quote from that game in your sig for a while. I think the number was 199? I remember 197 being the first one to start after I joined the site, then 198 being the "Nexus is the new normal listmod" 15P, and the 17P I'm talking about was after that. Cephrir was the game mod.

Looks like they didn't get to claim and a vote formatting error made town accidentally hammer them.

honestly when I read up I feel like its just the same people posting and I don't really see a problem with any of it.

Quite frankly, I have no idea why the only read that Diamond is still pushing is Jake.
I'm not sure why voting Nahdia is productive when ideally that slot should be trying to generate content instead of just AtE
I have no idea why I feel like Pooky hasn't really done much aside from being a fun person to chat with
I'm starting to get concerned with Bulge's activity

I'm probably not voting any of Cabd, ffery, tammy, syr, midway, ss, cakez, peta, or gamma right now at least for the given moment.
could you at least engage with my thing about the large normal with Cabd we had?

with my 2nd game on site ya what about it?
