Sincere hope the provoking situation is resolved shortly and you stand once again upon stable financial footing, friend MMM.

I'm stable right now, my income outweighs my expenses, but I just had to pay some dude a good deal of money to fix his car because I hit it with my own car in a parking lot and did not want my insurance to go up.

Dude was super nice and willing to accept only about 2/3 of the money needed for repair but I'm a huge idiot and just insisted on paying for the whole thing??????

why did i do that?

Deep inside of you is both a conscience and a soul of remarkable and/or respectable quality. You recognized the true debt and had to hold to your principles. It's admirable. You are a good person who accepts responsibility even when given a way to cheapen your onus. Now, it is fully abated and your conscience is clear.

I have problems feeling like I owe someone something. If I have lots of money I tend to buy people gifts. But I only do that because being generous makes me happy. I don't really believe in altruism, but I do believe people's "reward centers" are activated when they do what they believe is right and good.

Self-interest motivates every action.

You're conditioned to think you'd be taking advantage of someone, or that the offer was a test. Business is business and you've learned the lesson early enough to benefit.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Just a reminder I've got 2 large scale games coming up, and am happy to take presigns for both!

One is a serious game for serious people
The other is role madness for mad people

Infinitum posted:

Seeing how there is an absolute glut of games on at the moment, I'm going to take the time to announce my 2 upcoming large games.


The Last Bastion - An open-setup PARANOIA styled Mafia for 30 players
Opening Feb 1

Humanity is finished.
A small group of survivors make their way to the last bastion of man in hopes of finding solace at the end of the world
All the while hunted by the ever growing ranks of monsters in the dark... and in their midst..


I absolutely love wacky role madness style mafia over any other form of mafia, but I wanted to try my hand at running a far more traditional style mafia setup while having a bit of a story to go with it.
Something even EccoRaven would want to play :v:

This is my answer to that style of mafia and I've designed in a way to be played extremely quickly, while maximising the paranoia aspect of traditional mafia, utilising a simplistic ruleset, and to do away with some of the short-comings and cliche states of play you'd normally see from a mafia game.
It will also be an open setup, and the ruleset will be made extremely clear before the start.

So while you may have some qualms about playing in a 30 player game, rest assured it won't take that long to play and I will absolutely make it worth your while!
Get hype!

:siren: If you would like to review the setup, PM me and let me know! I am trying to close up any holes! :siren:
--------------------------------------------------------------


Steven Universe Mafia - A ~ROLE MADNESS~ game for 25 players
Opening immediately at the conclusion of The Last Bastion


It's an Infinitum Role Madness game. So you know you want in!
- Absolutely 0 vanilla roles!
- Brand new roles!
- Role variants!
- Flavour focused!
- Gem Fusions!
- Fake claims up the whazoo!
- No millers, death millers, or millers of any variety!

You did right by the dude and yourself. I've done good deeds where I felt kinda bad or dumb having done them, but in the end it's ok. Yesterday I helped a group of 8 Indian freshmen or seniors in high school figure out where to get and get a cab. I ended up missing my metro stop by a few stops and naturally on the way back home the metro stopped working, but I had nothing better to do and they needed help. You get the impression in a big city that people won't ever help.

I turned down the job I had applied to. They decided it to make it into two part-time positions instead of one full-time for some reason I still don't really understand. The pay wouldn't have been good enough to warrant keeping it and one other job, requiring me to do 3 part-time jobs, which I deem to be an absurd situation, and I said so, and the woman didn't take kindly to that. I didn't say her offer was absurd, just working 3 part-time jobs was. Anyway, I'd of worked exclusively with 4-8 year olds which isn't really what I wanted to do so it's not that big a deal, but I feel pretty down since it means I'm still in my otherwise crappy part time jobs. Half considered enjoying a nice glass of whiskey and then some or playing Stardew Valley the rest of the stupid day but I suppose I'll do laundry, get groceries, and otherwise do some upkeep and maybe try to study for my teacher's exam.

I just want to say, the main reason that I regret this is that based on this guy's car, age and his willingness to pay for a good chunk of the repair, he probably has a lot more money than me. I absolutely don't feel the same sting from charitable donations or volunteer work or weird little incidents of breaking my daily routine to help somebody.
