Mmkay, which pairing do you think has the highest BoP?

PA --> Cabd
PA --> ffery
Tammy --> Cabd
Tammy --> ffery

I think 'dreads' is stronger than I'd say, but I haven't seen a recent happy Cephrir scum game. Could vary based on teammates, but even Bloodstained with a good team and playing with his other half he was grumpy.

IMO PA --> Cabd

I know Tammy gets paranoid of me even when I'm peak-town (see smokefilled antechamber).

And you misread me for a while in Bloodstained, though I was admittedly a hot mess due to PTTD until Bork made his post about changing the alternate scum wincon.

And how do you rank our BOP pairings?

I dread red pms because I do and because since I rarely play anymore it's been eons and I don't think I remember what to do anymore.

Also shirou - I, Tammy, will never remember to sign. Well probably not. I don't really sign anyway, and I think we'll be easy enough to tell apart. But, I was going to make a cutesy signature and refer to myself as Penthesilea and I forgot to even do that. :/

Interesting. Wonder if Cabd agrees.

Cabd --> me
ffery --> Tammy
Cabd --> Tammy
ffery --> me

Yes but also situational, given Dandelion Wine was a thing that we got all cackle-glee with.

Also, Mood. Both dance games, grrrr

okay

if that's how you're gonna play sure

but just to say it in advance, if you guys trajectory later on feels like a mess and your slot sketchy, I'm not gonna buy you guys retroactively going into "oh that one was Cabd's post" or "oh that one was ffery's post". I'm not going into that rabbit hole later on, to me hydras either sign their posts from the start or accept that they are not gonna be treated as proper hydras by me and simply judged as a whole.

If you won't make an effort to distinguish the heads/who's talking, do not
ever
expect me to do that job for you.

I don't want to sound rude or mean, but it's something I need to make clear about my perspective on hydras.

It's how morph has played since 2013. I don't want to sound rude or mean either, but we won't change how we play in this game regardless of your perspective on hydras.

No it's fine

I wasn't trying to make you change your style if you guys were set on it, I was just basically telling you in advance I would treat you as mostly a single entity and later on it would be impossible to convince me to change my approach to your slot.

But you said you even preferred it that way so it's fine I don't have any issue with that

Hmm, not really?

my first account here is from 2018, and I've read a fair share of old games/threads, so I've seen ffery be mentioned there and here, or even posting there and here, and I noticed the title, but I don't think I have ever seen her play a normal game from start to finish, only an old random marathon if my memory still works properly.

If the one I'm talking to is Cabd, I do think I've seen more of your play here and there, but still not enough to say I've any idea of how you play at all. I often didn't finish the old games I used to start reading.

I also know Tammy is recognized as a very strong scum hunter if I'm not mistaken...

Well, part of my motivation to signing up to this game is because there's lots of established older players here that I either never played a proper game with or have played with before but not a lot/many games.

That would be a very, very old marathon game.

it was ffery. I was on hiatus from ~2018 until late 2020. most of my games are start to finish affairs, but I probably play in hydrae as frequently (or more) than on my main. This hydra alone has played 22 or 23 games.
