Hey Ari <3 <3 <3

So, I think this sounds believable, the vibe I got from the identity was that it wasn't an actual marathon event so the fact that you didn't talk about an event makes me believe you

Ari had a barefoot run

That identity belongs to one of {CaptainMeme, Nahdia, xofelf}. You must solve this identity before attempting to solve others.

As I'm a bit behind, and it'll make it a bit fun...

Using 3 questions, Meme, Nadine and Xofelf.
Imagine I am the multimillionaire (oh how much I wish this was true)
Sell my your idea/product/whatever it is we're trying to make a deal on.

Full on Dragons Den/Shark Tank style!

And then tell me what came of these talks

I'm here to pitch my all new idea - something you'd be a fool not to buy into!

It's called...

So here's the thing. You're an aristocrat. You're so used to winning at life that you're almost expected to win whatever you do, right? If you don't at least come out of this game with a draw, the people will see you can be beaten and you'll be facing a serf revolt.
So why not go with the absolute safest alliance in Diplomacy and align with my Russia. You're guaranteed at least a draw and that's what you're looking for!

(Obviously this wasn't how it went down but it's close enough :D He was a really nice guy who I didn't find out was one of the richest young men in the UK until about a year after I played with him. We ran the juggernaut alliance and I ended up edging out the board top over him.)

Shark, textbooks are stupidly expensive. You are stupid rich enough to buy all my textbooks for me this term and not notice. Additionally, you were a fool and did not get a meal plan this term. Buy me my textbooks and I will dedicate all my guest swipes to you so you won't starve. What? No, you can't order pizza and chinese food every day for the entire term. You will surely perish.


I was not successful. I did mooch a decent amount of pizza that term tho.

Captain Meme


I feel like the making a deal with a millionaire was a smart phrasing by meme to hide that it was actually making a deal in a board game, also I don't quite understand what Nahdia is saying

do UK universities not have meal plans or something? imagine, not having your access to food tightly regulated by a system of swipes and points granted from your learning insitution.

imagine, not being required to pay $15/meal to the institution you are already paying $40k/year to

not really. often when you're in residential halls then you can buy your meals there from the cafeteria, but it's pay-as-you-go. they're discounted but whether you would consider them 'good value' depends a lot.

most students aren't in residential halls though, but in shared student flats instead, and normally in the second and third year of uni students move out to live with friends they met in those flats or on their course.

HOWEVER, with covid forcing some students to isolate in halls and making them unable to all go down to the cafeteria, some universities have been giving them "food parcels" that they're required to pay for which by all accounts have been extortionate for what they are.

I know that 1 of the halls at my uni did have a cafeteria and you could get meals as part of paying for your rent, but generally nope, for us all you're paying the uni for is for the actually studying. You'd pay rent and food separately.

Anyways, I want a Sock Poem from someone

Ari could you please give me 3 poems about socks (I say 3 because the identity makes it sound like more than 1)

Posted: Fri Oct 30, 2020 4:47 am
by Aristophanes
Yes sir! Sorry about the delay!


A Limerick


There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept his clean socks in a bucket
Then one fateful day
His girl ran away
And eyeing his socks he thought "fuck it!"



A Classic Haiku


Agryle, Solid, Strpied
Living in my top left drawer
None of them are White



And a Freeform


What is a man to do
Without comfort in his shoe?
You think it wise to walk it off
But never think of why I scoff
At the very thought of what you say!
I walk, however, in dismay.

You tell me it is not a style
Then expect that I walk a mile
With sandal rubbing on my skin
And no protection therewithin.
I hear the words you do not say
As I, in comfort, walk away.

I have no idea if this is your identity or not but that first poem was absolutely beautiful <3

Sod it, lets go for
Ari liked socks a bit too much


If I'm wrong then it gives me another question to request more sock poems from other players xD

Although it wasn't Ari's identity, let's thank him for sharing his pro-sock art.

Also, my apologies for forgetting to come back to update this. Feel free to message me if I take a while to update in the future, though I'll try not to!

My feet are so cold
I need a tiny blanket
Socks will do the trick

My undies have stripes
But no one sees them, alas
Crazy socks will do


Sliding on hard wood
Socks, conquerers of friction
I move with such grace
