Derek, I'm gonna be honest. As it currently stands nobody except perhaps Loiosh ('cause he's a nice guy) is going to believe you predicted any sort of E.L.E. event. The reason behind this is that you have not predicted poo poo: anything big that happens could be the E.L.E, anything! And as soon as it happens you'll jump into the thread and say "told you so!" and then we'll say "bullshit, Dr. Smart, bullshit".

Like, you use PGP, right? Then send beer (or anybody but octopode, who has access to the best NSA poo poo) an encrypted e-mail with an actual prediction. Then, if/when that happens you can give him the key to decrypt it and then you can descend on the thread from Valhalla, all shiny and chrome, with the biggest :smug: in history.

Well, I have cryptoware installed and will volunteer myself if someone is needed that isn't so publicly tied to this whole thing.

Yeah and a 7 day probation in this fuckin thread :wtf:

The "ill kill that bitch" post was in the context of Sandi/CIG going after bootcha legally for talking openly about the project. It wasn't wildly out of line but kinda cringey

Yeah that was my view. If only all the "ben is fat lol" and "sandi is old/ugly lol" was as taboo

Honestly at that point just point and laugh at the guy whenever you see him. Who the gently caress cares about pride when you're about to be homeless.

And it will be SO easy to play SC with no electricity.

And no internet connection.

And after some guy in an alley just shanked you for the desktop you were carrying around.

Part of sandi's malignance is her vanity and narcissism though so in my view that's perfectly fine.

ALso ben is a prick who shamelessly fleeces mentally ill people of their money.

gently caress em, if they wanted to be treated right they could have done something else.

I think we'd be able to work together to bring grief to B'tak. Maybe even concoct scenarios that lull him into a false sense of security to cause more grief when the B'tak Griefers descend in force.

Mayyyyyyyybe. I suspect it would depends on how long it took him to get to the ambush and how bored we were up to that point.

Yeah but weight/looks aren't bad in and of themselves, so wielding them as insults seems kind of shameful imo.

Number one - The only ugliness Sandi has I have mentioned was inside her.

Number two - NO ONE forced Ben to overeat that much. As a stout lad, I know this.

Man, Alexis can really smell the blood in the water at this point, methinks. And she appears to be getting closer and closer to snapping.

Considering where she's sitting it might just be a portion of Ben's body, or very plausibly her own. I've spent much time next to fat people and they generally have an area or two that doesn't get too much attention in the shower if you know what I mean.

I thought :fuzzknot: was just joking around and her joke fell a little flat. I'll never understand what all the fuss was about.

We wondered what a :fuzzknot: emote could mean.

It came to mean 'psychotic, rabid, potentially violent, and self-destructive'.
