My high school experience was decent. I was a chubby short nerd years 1 and 2. But then puberty happened and starting year 3 I was a giant nerd who hung out with the would be thespians and made star wars movies.

Much to my surprise... everyone else was getting laid and smoking mad weed.

We never really had proms over here.

The best I can think of was the leaving dance at the all girl's school nearby.

It had an ice sculpture shaped like a naked man. You sucked his dick and got vodka in return.

I'd probably suck a lot more dick if vodka was nature's payout.

In reality, I didn’t know he was new and I was just pushing a little bit over nothing. I mean I could tell you it was to see what his reaction was but mostly it’s my shtick to unreasonably demand someone’s death d1.

So I’m wondering, what is it that you saw? Because what I saw was so minor that it’s laughable and certainly did not warrant you jumping on the non existent case.

I take it joke phase has ended? Always with something innocuous too. Unfortunately, I find it strange that you feel a need to come up with an explanation like this to a minimal amount of pressure from somber. It didn't even seem like he was all that serious.

Your Personal Muse posted:

What point? I said I wanted to murder Anon and nothing else. And how can you have any real history of bullying a guy with one game

Maybe I can see the confusion on the point part of the joke, but it looked like a "I should respond, but not too awkwardly" crafted response.

So forgive me if I'm the only one seeing that.

WRT your shtick... 👌
If phone emojis don't display that's an ok sign, and by my standards, that's a solid approval.

[in response to my explanation]


I’ll be the first to admit that these follow ups from Somber are a barrel of laughs, but you are the one who is confused friend. Somber thought he saw something.

I don’t know if I buy Somber’s explanation. He said he saw the same thing as me. He then said that he thought the response was coy, which would mean there is nothing in the original post that Somber saw. But I declared my desire for murder right after Anon’s initial post, and anyone who would have been reading anything into me would have thought I saw something in the original post, not any response. I probably didn’t explain that clearly but whatever.

OK, I missed where he said he did admit to thinking he saw something. My bad everyone. My reading comprehension is deplorable, but my excuse is that Yami's game was ending.

##unvote

I doubt YPM would be so on the nose if he was scum, and me missing somber's post makes sense of the rest, but does make somber look curious in YPMs place

This is the isolated interaction that led me to believe Somb was joking.

That he comes back and tries to explain it really makes me wonder what it is he thought he saw, as mentioned by other players, sorry I'm late to the party.

If somb hadn't come back to explain this bolded bit, I would have 100% taken it as a joke.

as admitted now by the man himself

I missed you Moat, but I'm glad to see you must have been on some amazing drugs while you were gone

It does though, I further explain it.

He said he saw YPMs point

Then first chastised YPM, about being aggressive since he knew the player was new.

Then admitted he thought idiot was acting coyly wrt a series of posts from YPM, that until he himself explained as pressure did not in any way look like pressuring.

What it all boils down to is that inferring tone is not a good idea. But I still am not sold on the sincerity of the entire series of interactions. Willing to not let this take up more of the day though.

Initial vote. curious.

Your Personal Muse posted:

Humalong is trying to avoid making connections this early so that when he flips scum we have less to go on hth

This was reaction to a somb quote that I found curious. Their entire interaction thus far with the whole joke/not joke thing is really pinging me. I think this is scummy.

The only thing to YPMs credit in the exchange with hum is that hum misrepresented what YPM said.

AI says:

AnAnonymousIdiot posted:

I gotta say Muse made me pay attention to him. I've not had a good track record in my first few games so far, and I'd like to survive the first round.


You can trust me to overreact to things happening, and trying to hide it in an improv linda was. I lose the mood something and I'd head for me to tell what's a joke. I'm very dry.

YPM says:

Your Personal Muse posted:

What do you mean made you pay attention to me? And I assumed you were joking when you said that you didn't mean to be disrespectful. What did you think was disrespectful?

Hum says:

Mr. Humalong posted:

I could also post about YPM seeming confused why AAI thought he was begging for attention when YPM made six or seven posts explicitly stating “I want you dead” directed at AAI. I thought that was pretty weird, but I also knew it was jokephase so I left it alone.

I can see now with the players in this game enjoying jokephase was a huge mistake.

I feel like it could be interpreted as misinterpretation, but I also see much more a case for this to be one of YPM and Hum misunderstanding...

Bifauxnen posted:

ok lol I went back to check all my posts since I voted AA to see what must have given Hum this change of heart. Since the AA vote, I:

- reiterated how AA makes no sense, along with a disparaging remark about Moat who dared to vote me

- said how AA sounds more reasonable now after he got my vote on him

- random comment grumbling about AA and AI that didn't have any casing or anything

- me bugging Hum to explain how he thinks I'm ao weird

- voting Somber with no other comment, in reply to his refusal to answer questions

- brief comments on B- sounding like drunk me, and on pera for lurking

Hardly anything that I would consider an appropriate amount of "more" to satisfy Hum, if he honestly thought my vote on AA was suspiciously weird

ok gently caress waiting for Somber

##vote Hum

Can't refute this chain of events or how it read, BUT hum's subsequent response to this post was good.

Mr. Humalong posted:

I thought you throwing a vote down on AA when AA was doing the exact same thing he always does was a touch aggressive. I forgot that you’re always insanely aggressive. There are still multiple people in this game that have yet to post anything beyond a couple one word posts, maybe hear from them (or they never post and they’re lurker scum that’s a possibility) before we start calling scum teams. Still 24 hours left before end of day.

Day 1 is really annoying because it’s this huge jokephase and then suddenly everyone decides it’s not and if you don’t create a case out of thin air you’re scum.

On top of that, I can’t post about the only lead I have (somber) because then I’m “tagging along” or trying to bus my scum partner :rolleyes:
A good and accurate meta assessment to explain his perception of the vote.
