flavour

[brassherald]

We have time and I am pretty okay with either of these wagons. Preference on Tris.

Also this is a prodge with

vla until Monday

turns out during the chemo stuff it's a bit harder than I thought to really be motivated to participate and not just watch House

[hellbooks]

im gonna let myself be v/la tomorrow too but i'll see about reading all of the novellas i imagine you've all written and squeezing in a post tomorrow night

i hope thats okay and congrats datisi for the wins and also everyone. oops i forgot to encompass the v/la request with the bold tag. i am leaving the v/la request out of the coalition of bolded words

anyway it looks like my early investment vote might end up paying some dividends! keep up the godo work everyone (im poking my head into the room and saying "you kids having fun in here? want me to bring up some snacks?")

[hellbooks]

ok after i sent that i experienced a sudden second wind of energy so let me just read up now

[Thestatusquo]

I lost another rcq semifinals today. How's everyone doing

[hellbooks]

im glad nested spoilers got fixed with the site update so that this post could be possible

ive never actually read the book, just heard people talk about it, but i imagine this is what reading house of leaves feels like

uh oh director's commentary hellbooks time... how very self indulgent of me sorry.... but yea the opening text is a direct parody of the scene where they measure the house and find it to be bigger on the inside than the outside and ive also included a few direct references that were kind of supposed to compare the coalition to the house in the book as like a shifting structure that might contain an unknown threat. sorry again. and i cant remember if deadended footnotes are in housie's bag of tricks but it seemed fitting. re [4].
also skitter i wouldnt be surprised at this point if you saw my username and instantly your eyes switched to skim mode but there were like 3-6 supposedly game relevant little tidbits that i addressed to you buried in there. yea i guess i was being opaque on purpose (the purpose was "for fun") sorry about that

im going to hang my hat on my belief that it probably isnt sheeshea. in fact that was one of the tidbits. but i also dont think that sheep is incapable of being solo in the coal. but again hes not my top choice. he might even be my bottom choice

Everyone is doing preflip assocs anyway

this is really the best and most wuthering way to play mafia though. for example what do we think about skitsis LOL (this is me just seeing isis voting skitz from the vc at the top of this page and thinking oo what a wuthering scum pairing that would be)

goodluck with the chemotherapy

like if shea turned out to be mafia I'd be mildly annoyed but if you turned out to be mafia I'd be devastated.

how wouljd you feel if i turned out to be mafia
actually can you go down the line and say how you would feel about anyone turning out to be mafia just for fun

The one thing I did find townie about sheep was that part where he reacted to your twilight trolling with hellbooks by pulling his solve from like 10 pages ago with the ariana grande gif. I feel like as scum it might be harder for him to remember he had that solve and instantly react that way.

love theories like this. also love when people use references to ariana grande communicatively as some of you may well know

I just want to be acknowledged as a good smart boy.

my guy wants the bussing credit

all those damn wandering emperors >: ( sorry to hear that .

[hellbooks]

this is my way of trying to relive micro 1078

aren't we all
oh, are we not truly all.

[hellbooks]

have we considered the fact that vp baltar is scum?

especially because its been 128 pages and yet he has

zero

in-game posts?

[hellbooks]

I'm still in the state of automatically agreeing with the most recent post so im not reading any of these posts because it would just lead to me confbiasing my already present read.

[hellbooks]

HEAL: isis

hellbooks i promsie not to misread u this time

"And in order to achieve this i will refrain from reading your posts at all" (sorry) (joke)

hey i read that post earlier when i barely started to read her iso

[hellbooks]

me reading that post originally: "alright challenge accepted gonna make keeping that promise as hard as humanly possible"

[hellbooks]

Looks like ive apologized 5 times this page alone. i should do that less

[hellbooks]

ok heres a full documentation of the results for sorries in this game and what they were apologizing for.perhaps it provides a useful cross section of this game. and if not then SORRY. also some of this could be inadequately capturing the context and for that i am also sorry and lastly im sorry if it seems like im putting any of these possibly disagreeable past situations under a magnifying glass!!!! this really is more of like a sincere collation of info and not a joke. ok but now that im looking at the summation of all of the words i splashed onto this post i see now that its really just like a watercolor mess of things that cant really be purified into any sort of conclusive ideas

hellbooks: (for a joke / for being late with a joke / for a joke / isis thought my post to fire was to her / to skitter for bantering too much / editorializing sheep into calling me a guy / for the ugly unspewed line / 5 more recent apologies as mentioned on this page)
fireisredsir: (isis disapproval / shea 1v1 / shea 1v1 / to shea for not providing a take / for ambiguity / to sheep for not coming up with good reasons for sheep to townread them / for boring game state / complex elaboration on a question to ari / temporary low effort)
shea: (not telling ari about her tells / pushing ari / in response to isis ate / ari 1v1)
skitter: (disagreeing with shea / coming at shea with guns blasting / not understanding shea's post / disagreeing with isis / frustrating isis / not voting tris / calling tris town being antitown)
tris: (uncoaling isis / to shea for not doing more to build town core)
ari: (to fire for taking things seriously in response to fire suspicion / pushing fire to make a concrete coal / shea 1v1 / to isis re: a past game / shea 1v1 / putting too much emotional stock into an isis tr)
isis: (persistent skepticism of fire / not giving the game more effort)
bulge: (throwing phone into sea)
sheep: (bulge's phone being in the sea / for losing valuable discussion time / for saying why the fuck is brooks in the coal / distrusting an isis vote / rejecting fire's vote on him / hellbooks being in pedit limbo / piling on to tris)

[hellbooks]

overapologizing is something i try to do less but i do wonder if its a habit or a part of my personality that is very hard to change

[hellbooks]

I guess one conclusion you could draw -- sorry i am continuing to think about the apology cross section -- is how ive failed to have substantive conflict with others which reminded me of an early post shea made about me which was something like "if you try to start a shitfight with hellbooks shes just gonna laugh at you"

[fireisredsir]

same

[tris]

i just like. don't think skitter is scum

[tris]

i wanted to hold on to my aristea town read because it was like the one original thought i had in the game, but its not actually enough

[tris]

oh sheep is voting ari

[Thestatusquo]

Ok everyone who was scum reading me is now banned.

[hellbooks]

YOOOOOOO COOL

prodding Aristeia and sheepsaysmeep.
