Dunno about that. Somber tends to be prickly as town, too.

I think somb is more prickly than usual. Hamming up his own butthurtedness as an out for playing the game well and fun.

I'm getting frustrated that you keep insisting I'm being an rear end in a top hat or not nice. "Knob" is in jest and saying that it's dumb to call out a deadline that doesn't exist is a correct statement. It is a dumb statement, she is not a dumb person.

Somberbrero posted:

you think someone is scum for telling us to move past jokephase because the deadline you didn't think existed is approaching quickly, o.k.

:negative: It didn't exist at the time, this isn't a case of being mistaken. it was set in the middle of that string of posts.

there is nothing helpful about a post that tells us to be mindful of how long we allow jokephase to run in light of the deadline...when there is no deadline. it's like telling a basketball team to get plays off quicker because they're down by 4 with 5 minutes left in the first quarter. It's not content, and the rest of the post is disguised to look like it's being helpful when it's actually saying nothing at all.

the 48 hour content was. the deadline was not. it is not at all uncommon for day 1 to be longer, quite the contrary.

Her post absolutely makes fake content.

Look Under The Rock posted:

This is a long rear end joke phase for a game with strict 48 hr deadlines.

Criticizes other players in the game without calling out anybody individually. This is closer to setup spec than actual content, a holier-than-thou sort of thing (not sure how to phrase that without using a rude phrase, apologies) designed to isolate her from the people who are apparently doing a bad thing.

quote:

Heading out for night two of shows soon, if there's not some serious activity when my part is over around 8 Imma meta case you chucklefux.

Again puts herself higher than anybody else without actually doing anything. it's a promise of content later but even then it's not valuable since it's a promise of a meta case. why is everybody else responsible for the serious activity first?

this post accomplishes absolutely nothing

1) callout on everyone (?) for joking
2) callout on people for loving around with a time limit (wrong)
3) im not gonna do anything now but i'll get you guys when i'm back!!! (unspecified recipients of phony rage)

It reads more to me like asking to get started with the game, not some kind of angry callout.

You want slapfights but you don't have the mental capacity to actually derive my intended meaning, ever, which just feels like a result of you having a giant hate-boner for me (others might be initially confused by what I'm like, but seem to adjust easily enough). Considering this I have zero reason to engage with you, and I don't want to try because it's really unpleasant and I play this game to have fun.
