The Longest Thread (Misadventures)
Kidpen replied to ElephantEarwax's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Holy crap there's a lot of pages. But the pie bounced back. -
Welp this is difficult. I'm going to sleep and am not going to be on, so I'm going to say that Im a first citizen with a radio and 40 chits. If/when I die that should give some info about role flips, if nothing else. By my count I'm ahead by 2, so I'm going to die unless something changes in the next hour 30 minutes.
-
So how exactly would you have put a second vote on Coda? I feel like there's something obvious here I'm missing.
-
Oh dang, this terrible slip up has outed me. Guess I'm dead now. Is this you claiming to be a First Citizen? Did you already do that and I didn't notice?
-
Yeah not gonna lie activity encouragers in games tend to make me consistently active but also I wait until the last minute.
-
Gosh this is a hard game. Alright so I continue to think Abstrucity is village. I know that I'm not, and it doesn't feel like they were interacting with me like an elim would. Plus there's the fact that they voted first. More suspicious out of the Coda lynch is Elkanah, in my opinion. That extremely last minute post seemed to me like an attempt to solidify and prevent vote modification. That being said I'm pretty OK with the Sart lynch.

Yell

Plus one to this rec! It's really good.

Thanks. Yep Yeah, definitely. If there's one thing I know, it's that gender is heckin complicated.

Just to clarify, has anybody actually contested the point that Brandon's books should have more and better LGBTQ+ representation? I was just going to post that but I have more to say. Books in general should always have LGBTQ+ rep, but in particular I think Brandon's books are an especially important example. And I think this because of one fact: Brandon is LDS, and a significant portion of his readership is LDS. I think that's a fact that makes it even more important for Brandon to have representation than normal, because I can say from experience that a very large percentage of the LDS community is homophobic to one extent or another. That's not to say I have anything against LDS people in general, to be clear. But my parents used to be LDS and come from a big family, and I talk with my cousins a lot, so I can say from experience that it does happen. I've had many conversations with casual homophobia, including but not limited to: Posters in school promoting LGTBQ+ anything are annoying. They decided to stop watching Flash because of LGTB main characters. 'It's funny when they try to correct you that their pronoun is actually he and then you're just like OK... she.' 'I have a friend that wants to be a guy, but it's like, God made you a girl, just accept that.' Numerous other things that I can't remember right now. LGBTQ+ rep is just unnecessary. They 'don't have any problem with the people but I don't want to read about it' (that last one also use to be me, along with a couple of the rest of these, cause I had basically no exposure to any of that. I didn't know what being gay was until 5th grade and I was confused about a genderfluid character cause I didn't understand how their genitals transitioned like that.) But regardless, that's kind of the problem. My cousins have literally no idea what's going on in the slightest and that doesn't change because they avoid media that might cause them to change. But since Brandon is an LDS author I think that is something that would help a lot of people understand this. Another thing I'd like to note is that I don't think it's necessarily fair to say that trans people were always whatever gender, for a couple reasons. For one gender is fake so does that even make sense as a thing to say? Actually I guess that's my main point. Honestly this is mostly nitpicking. Also @Honorless has anyone ever recommended Homestuck (homestuck.com) to you? Warning on significant language and discussion of sexual topics. Also romance isn't really relevant for a really long time so the LGBTQ+ status of characters isn't discussed at first. That being said it's a really good webcomic in general and at this point it and discussion with other fans is the primary way I become more knowledgeable about LGBTQ+ topics. If you have more questions about it feel free to PM me. Or just ask in here, it's up to you.

No, thinks Kid, I will not get out of the sky. Instead, he kills more Krell. Dozens of them. Hundreds, even. The Krell fall to the ground like snow. Dead snow. There. Rayne can have a 'nice chat' with one of the dead Krell. I'm not going down until they're literally extinct, despite not even being on the ships, technically.
-
Hmm. I mean, that's fair honestly, I'm pretty much the objectively best lynch target when you disinclude inactives, and possibly disincluding you depending. Probably not though, you feel pretty genuine. I would still say that inactives are a better lynch target. Honestly I feel like cycle one, in particular when there's no clear choice of where to vote, it's largely better to vote on an inactive anyways. It provides a moderate amount of information and doesn't eliminate future activity. Plus I've realized that I really don't like having to vote in low activity people later when there's more information. Like, it just bothers me when people are possibilities but you don't know how much of a possibility because they haven't posted or have posted barely at all for the last 4 cycles. That's not to say you should lynch inactives until they're gone, I just think that since C1 is pretty low on information anyways, it is often best to lynch people who are unlikely to provide much more information in the future anyways. If you're still using that logic in C2 or 3 then it probably means the active players aren't ever going to give any useful info, so you should start lynching them with what you have. I think I probably didn't make the words do what I wanted them too but whatever it's getting posted anyways. Rayne seems to have noticed Kid going on his Krell murdering rampage for the purposes of activity. Perhaps if he continues to kill Krell until it just gets ridiculous it will convince Rayne to chill out while also allowing each of them to have more activity.

Here, I wrote an ace smut fanfic just now for you: (sorry to kind of intrude on this serious conversation with a joke, but honestly I think that's an important thing to do sometimes. Hugs for everybody! *hugs*) (also I'm probably gonna make a serious post at some point, but like I said, there's a lot to unpack here)
-
Oh shoot I also have to do rp. Kid was at home, contemplating the concept of action. In a world where action is directly related to salary, is it reasonable to cheat the system by having the entire action be just contemplating something, especially considering the quickly thinning fourth wall. Really, it doesn't feel much in the spirit of the rules. And yet, it will still probably work just as well as some sort of god tier actions with character development and plot. Just part of the consequences of living in a world where activity of any kind is valued, he supposes. Then he went and killed some Krell cause all of that introspection only even got him to 100 words. What is this, some sort of word famine? It's not like all the Krell he's killing even affect anything related to his actual life in the slightest. Not that he isn't totally demolishing them, but in a world where validity is directly related only to the amount of traitors you catch, it really doesn't matter in the slightest. There we go. 175 or so words.

Oh wow I left this for a while. So thoughts are always hard this early in the game but I have a couple. For one I'd like to defend myself poke vote wise. I've been in way too many games where cycle one was basically devoid of activity entirely (not that I helped much), and I find that a strong and controversial first post encourages discussion right off the bat, which helps discussion throughout the cycle on all topics, not just the first post. I agree that none of the other lunch targets are good, so Coda seems reasonable. Plus abstrucity is seeming pretty village so far.
-
Alright so there's a lot to unpack in this thread, and rest assured I will be unpacking it, but right now I only have enough time to say that I strongly disagree with lesbianism being a primary part of Ranette's character. (Edit: There was supposed to be another sentence here). Also she happens to be a lesbian. Low key before reading this thread I probably wouldn't have known who Drehy is at all so I can't comment on him.
-
Oh shoot! You've figured me out! I never suspected that my possession of illegal dice would be what brought me down! I suppose now I'm obligated to Abstrucity if I want to live. Anyways hi. Give me a second to read.
-
Tempting. Put me in as a pinch hitter for now, and I may or may not swap to a player at some point.
-
Hello everybody! I for one am pretty hyped for this game. At the moment the most suspicious person to me is (rolls d14) Abstrusity. @Abstrusity the fact that you haven't posted despite the cycle being up for a whole (checks time stamp) 7 minutes is rather suspicious. Any thoughts?
-
Ene! You're the Wings of Fire person, right? Cause I was looking at the panel list for a book festival in my area in March and apparently the author has one. So that's cool! I might have to read them between now and then.

O X X O O X O X Good game. This is more or less what I expected, since I was playing perfectly and I didn't think you were likely to make a mistake. You know, it's interesting how differently perfect play in this game is defined as when ties are equivalent to a win versus when ties are equivalent to a loss. If ties were a loss in my brain, I would've tried much riskier moves that would've let you win depending on whether you saw it, but also would make you more likely to mess up in a way that let me win. As opposed to this way, which basically is always a tie.
