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

Hello scumbos~! Yes you, my lovelies in KB's army. Please don't be afraid to go all out, cause I'm sure the upcoming loss will be blamed on my presence :sun:

Or maybe just buckle down and look after yourselves, cause this is gonna hurt.

What's really funny, is I thought long and hard about going into battle day 1 too. I didn't out of respect for the work Pod put into the game in case I was wrong about how unstoppable I am and I somehow got killed in the first combat. Bif apparently doesn't have the same qualms. :)

It would have been epic. Who knows. It still could be. ;)

We are pretty badass.

Bif undoubtedly has ways to make this less risky for her, like I do. But I feel like if we aren't taking the opportunity to do what we can to Bif, what are we fighting for?

So priorities. If you have some kind of Stun/Demoralize/Frighten, I recommend it. If you have some kind of defense, I recommend it. Outside of that if you can do something to Bif, please do. If you can't, everyone else is up for grabs. AEs are a super plus.

In terms of our own line, if all you can do is informational, feel free to use your own judgement.

Remember this is a leader that dragged her own loyal advisor before a firing squad. All he was trying to do was give her good advice.

Sure, we killed a towny, but it was one who obviously didn't care about her leader and wasn't doing anything to help. :)

She can talk to them OOT, right? Bluffing or not, it's white noise, as her orders would be coming from a scumdoc, presumably.

As for your orders, I hear you loud and clear!

To bring light to the darkness, whether that darkness be ignorance, injustice, apathy, or stagnation.
Cat in the other thread brings up a good point: we can probably still talk scumhunting now, even if I'm going to sleep in a bit and half the thread has probably peaced out.

Like how I want to bash Hats' face in even more because of his hedging on PMush + vote with no explanation for it, or how Slaan's vote post seems to be setting up for an out on the PMush lynch he just joined.

TThere's much more to be checked, but that'll have to happen tomorrow, because I'm tired as gently caress and can't really try to look over anyone I haven't already looked into with any accuracy.

Also, question, if anyone else is awake and can answer in like 30 minutes: is TMM the type to fake questions as scum?

:cheers: Less than 2 hours to get your Preliminary actions in before the thread closes for Battle phase! As a FYI, the Battle phase will likely be a bit shorter so we can keep things moving briskly (still figuring timeframes out) but I am open to input on deadlines. My current thinking is to have the deadline for Battle actions be 9:30 PM ET (9.5 hours from end of Preliminary) so that I can resolve results and reopen the thread TONIGHT! :cheers:

Re-read Keane, and look for how critical he is of TMM vs. how critical he is of Gamer.

Murmur Twin
Feb 11, 2003

An ever-honest pacifist with no mind for tricks.
And then re-read Gamer and try and understand what his case on Tobbs is - it's based almost entirely on his roleclaim. The fact that he doesn't apply the same logic towards PMush tells me that he's faking his reads.

When I ask Keane about it, he redirects the conversation:

CCKeane posted:

I get where you are coming from, but I don't think the information shared by PMush and Tobbs are equivalent, so I'm not convinced by that point.

Now this is me conspiracy theorying it up though, I can see Gamer and PMush as scum and trying to throw Slaan under, especially with the dichotomy TMM set up as "well if one is scum, the other probably isn't".

Admittedly, I am having a hard time not viewig things through the lens of TMM as scum, so I'll try a straight reading when I'm home.

He dismisses the question with "I don't think what they shared is equivalent" when what they shared was totally equivalent, and then changes the subject twice.

The terrain here lends itself to the use of artillery, which leaves those who fight atop horseback at a dire disadvantage. On the other hand, the nearby town is the perfect place to gather emergency requisitions - or plunder, if you prefer.
Universal Effect: All Wranglers take 1 additional damage from each attack. Shopkeeps surviving the battle have a 50% chance to scrounge up 1 Shine after the battle.

The armies clashed for the first time near the town of Palo Alto, hungry to take the measure of the other side and see who could draw first blood. Shine-glazed eyes met across the battlefield, tension crackling sharply for a number of heartbeats before the Mexicans abruptly charged in, bellowing war cries!

The Texans met the assault full-on, standing strong against the onslaught - but for how long? A strident voice cracked through the gun-smoke - it was Ma Ferguson herself! "Let's get 'em, boys! Give 'em hell and kick their rear ends all the way back home!"

From there, it all became too confused for anyone to follow - but after a time, both armies withdrew to lick their wounds. Today was just the first skirmish - certainly a costly one, but a skirmish nonetheless - but it would by no means be the last.

From everyone in battle I need to know what your status is coming out of it. How ya doing?
