JOHN CENA posted:

that post is full serious not half serious. i legitimately believe scum would choose a team to help them win than lose, capnandy and i have notoriously bad reads so its better to leave us in the game where they dont have to worry about us loving up or getting lunched, taste is incredibly divisive and at high risk of getting lunched pretty much any time, humalong not quite as divisive but i think he's prolly a high risk of luncheon.


meanwhile lots of bad players tend to lean towards vocal leaders like pop and yuming, i myself have admitted to being lazy in games and just coasting off of merk and or yumings reads because they're usually on the money as town. ggn i think would also be someone picked because they're at low risk of lunch early on due to a more laid back observant play style, hal for the same reason, he isnt gonna be someone who typically is collecting votes. if i was drafting a team as scum those four are absolutely in my mix

Lmao wtf people constantly want to kill me D1/D2 for my “laid back observant play style”. This whole argument sucks, especially in the context of:

Yeah, I dunno if we should look too hard at the scum picks with so little info since knowing Some of y’all I wouldn’t put it past being a die roll. That said... once we get some flips in the mix we should definitely factor this in.

dgk im referring to games i typically play to show my playstyle, if theres too many people or too much white noise, i do have a tendency to just pick 2 or 3 players i trust that normally read well, and just follow them until the field's way smaller.

You get the traditional survivor wincon, i.e. you win as long as you make it to endgame. Pretend that as a joke I took seven paragraphs to explain in excruciating detail what that means, I'm on my way to Taco Bell so I'm too busy right now to do that, do you want anything?

I honestly wouldn't - if I were a scum captain I could see the value of picking people I've never played with before in order to avoid the perception of playing differently around them and I'd also see the value of picking someone like Hal or yuming who I've played with a ton before and usually don't find myself voting for regardless of alignment.

Even if there's someone I'd never pick (like, if 50 Pounds of Bread was playing), I don't know if they'd never pick me since people can take super different approaches

Pretty good! I've been absolutely slammed with work stuff since we went to minimal operations (read: 5 people and our CPA was there for ten hours a week) in April, and even after we've been able to about double that with the PPP loan stuff I'm effectively doing my job and covering 100% for 2.5 other people who were either let go or went on furlough and didn't elect to come back

Like, I was just sending an email to a training host in the UK between that post and this post, haha

JOHN CENA posted:

imo my perennial go-tos at Taco Bell have been the Beefy 5-Layer Burrito and the Cheesy Gordita Crunch - I'm always getting at least one of those two if I'm there

My parents always forbid my sister and I from getting Taco Bell as kids, so I went absolutely nuts as soon as I could start going myself. I think early on in college I'd usually get a cheesy gordita crunch, a 5-layer burrito, a volcano burrito, and a side of cheesy fiesta potatoes and eat like 2500 calories of garbage for like, $8

Bifauxnen posted:

I think I got one in...February the last time I ordered something there? Looking it up they technically discontinued it last September, but the nacho crunch double stacked taco is still on the menu and it's like the same exact thing with crunch strips

JC’s speculation about who would be picked by captains is mega scummy: it abrogates any requirement to make a proper case and allows him to attack people for “being good at mafia” regardless of alignment

It is also stupid, because there could be any number of ways that people pick their teams, there are way too many variables in play to use that as a way to find scum, especially before any flips.
