This is coming from someone who is also bad at just talking, so take it with all the grains of salt.

One thing that might help would be to, as you come up with stuff when they're not asking, make a list of words or short sentences that remind you of stories you can tell or things you can say. Or things that are completely unrelated to whatever in their mind they need distracting from that you can ask them about.

Another option would be to talk about books you've read recently or something you saw or heard that was funny/interesting/aggravating.

How well would telling them a folktale or something work?

You could look up a huge amount of stuff about something random (like cheese) just so you can tell them about it.

I really don't know, these are just ideas I had.

G: All of the above

H: None of the above

Halfway D, halfway (mostly a joke) F, mostly just that I tend to not start conversations with people I don't already partially know.

Waitwait, if you make the heretics duel with each other, are they allowed to scheme about their strategy with each other?

10/10

As a middle kid, I can say that there is indeed something special about being the kid stuck in the middle. You get a turn at being the youngest AND a turn at being the oldest-in-the-house.

Well, hopefully we have.

For me at least, starting or joining conversations is easier here, but deep friendships are easier in person.

As long as Wierdo and I stay on Cash like the villagers are supposed to, the only vote switching happening will be elim vote switching, which would doom them, so they won't do that. They'll take their coinflip at a win same as I would like us to.

It makes sense.

TUA/Cash are V/E and TUA flipped V, so clearly Cash is Elim. At this point he's just openwolfing in thread.

Weaver isn't following the plan to flip Cash, and Wierdo is, so clearly Weaver isn't acting in the village's interest - we as the village CANNOT vote for different people or we die.

Also, Cash is voting Wierdo, and saying it won't be a coinflip exe if one of the villagers switches to voting Wierdo. Thus, the elims are the two people currently (and permanently, likely) voting on Wierdo.

Because Wierdo's a villager.

Weaver! Unless you're evil, you should be voting Cash, because everyone knows FOR SURE that Cash and TUA were not teamed.

Alright then. Cash.

I need to go to bed.

TUA.

See y'all tomorrow.

It's just about The Game. The one that you lose whenever you remember it.

--------

I am not entirely caught up yet, but I do have some thoughts.

TUA/Cash are probably not E/E (I know, this is obvious to everyone else, just let me get my thoughts down.)

Weaver/Wierdo are (probably) not E/E

I'm leaning village on Aet.

I'm leaning a bit elim on Weaver and TUA, but the reason I'm leaning elim on Weaver is likely NAI. (things changed while I was typing this up.)

TUA said to vote Cash and that he'd explain later. This could be to get us to lylo (where e!TUA would probably win,) and I don't like that idea.

From what I've seen, even with homework and school Wierdo is being quieter than I'd expect. (Maybe that's just because he's better at managing priorities and such than I was when I first started playing SE in school *shrug*) Also, often SE has a way of taking over your brain space whether or not you want it to if you're checking it enough.

Edit (sorry): I suppose if TUA and Cash were e/e, TUA would not be trying to die on the "Kill Cash!" hill.

Sorry, my tone didn't make it through cyberspace very well

*adds to town list*

Liking salmon is rEALLY not a good reason to read someone as village

Just sayin'

Salmon is really good, cooked right.

I'd prefer to skip the murder, but I did sign up for this, so I can't complain.

Edit: Also, sorry, I'm still on cycle one right now and don't have thoughts to share yet. I can get caught up more later.

Quick question --

Why is this a cult?

Edit: I see I am interrupting something. Feel free to ignore me entirely; I apologize for my intrusion.

What does aziphrale mean? Google thinks I'm asking for a different word and I don't know how to make it not.

Question, just for curiosity's sake:

What's the difference between being in the closet and being in the egg? Are they different?

May I sign up as a pinch-hitter?

I’m a little confused by this, as I’ve never treated someone I like similarly to a sibling. Is that what you’re saying or am I just reading it very poorly?

Don't understand the question, could you clarify?

Most of the interactions I have had with boys I'm friends with have been with my brothers or cousins. Maybe that just means I've had a weird life.

I'm trying to figure out the non-physical differences in how the interactions should be because the physical ones are obvious and nobody ever really talks about the mental/emotional/social/intellectual/whatever-other-not-physical-types-of differences in how the interactions should be.

Should I tease him and talk to him and treat him and support him and encourage him and worry about his problems and try to help him and fight with him like I would one of my brothers? Or differently? If differently, how?

In trying to understand this all it doesn't help that I kind of stunted my own social and emotional growth. That's probably why I need this help.

(Oh also, this is specifically in regards to someone who likes spending time with me and probably knows I like spending time with him.)

Semi-awkward question I would really like an answer to:

In the non-physical ways, how ought one treat someone they like* differently than they ought to** treat a sibling***?

I have... absolutely no idea how that happened. I don't know what I had to read wrong to think we were in the 300s instead of the 600s. Perhaps I failed to get through all the pages?

Time travel! Clearly!

Part of why I'm going with just "Christians" is because we believe in Christ, just like the other Christian groups do, and I would rather emphasize that most-important similarity than emphasize all the different pieces that are different and that many others don't fully understand. Yes, there are things we believe differently from other Christian groups, but we all believe that Christ lived then and lives now, He loves us, He died for our sins, and because of Him we can live with God again.

@Ookla the Silver (this isn't an RP, you don't have to speak in quote boxes.)

I'm pretty sure President Nelson said we shouldn't call ourselves "Latter-Day Saints" because it has the same problem "Mormons" did - it takes out the name of Christ.

I'm going with Christians.
