There's nothing about a hidden ability in my role card. If you need to accept Kyubey's offer to get one, I guess that makes sense.
Thoth won't tell me definitively for whatever reason, but my guess is I'm not recruitable because I'm a boy. The creepy rabbit only seems interested in luring young women into questionable life choices.
Just got home at 7 and still have mom's birthday to celebrate.
Why unrecruitable?
He won't tell me for sure. I have guesses. Will talk more about it once we're ready to claim. I may just claim anyway if I continue to be this short on time.
Lol man I wish I had more time now.
So it was revealed to me tonight that I am unrecruitable. More on this tomorrow. It's 2AM and I have to be up at 6. Will be busy yet again and also it's mom's birthday, so give me a little grace plz.
night night
MAKE ME, COPPER
Sorry, my don't-be-left-behind-by-the-herd animal instinct kicked in
Ignore me
Oh fine, VTNL
I'm starting to get invested a tiny bit
Gasp
maybe just a bit temporary blues back there for me
Very understandable given the dry spell and Lunatic's news.
Not that it matters, we'll NL anyway when the clock runs down without reaching majority
How anyone gets an early read on WF I have no idea
I will not say yes and I will not say no.
If you're so against claiming rn why are you willing to full claim next DP? Are the dangers somehow mitigated in DP2?
Am I correct in assuming you have more to go off of than the mod's warning about possible anti-claim mechanics in the OP
Well this is eye-opening. I thought there were always at least 2 guaranteed scum
I still don't get where Casey/WF is coming from
Just general thoughts and speculation. I don't fully agree with it, but it seems harmless, with no agenda.
What exactly didn't you agree with, is 8 players too short for a 3P or not
I'm ok with 48 hours I guess. I hesitate bc I don't know how busy I'll be the next two days. I think my house might be haunted. I don't think this amount of home repair emergencies across a short span of time is statistically possible.
One time I smelt this overwhelming scent of shit and sewage, and I heard running water. Heart sinking, I followed my nose, and traced the smell to one of my furnace registers. I looked down the vent and there it was, shit. Shit in my vents. Turds and toilet paper flowing in my vents, in the duct work. Whimpering with dread I went outside and removed the panel I had covering up the crawlspace entrance, and a tide -- a tide -- of shit came pouring out, like The Shining but with shit instead of blood. tl;dr my house literally hates me, it begrudges me every moment of peace I wrestle from the jaws of this life.
I mean I didn't see you sus anyone, or did i miss something? Your reads seemed mostly null/NAI and your Casey VTL seemed like it was just trying to generate activity.
The DP had run long and sparse. Apathy hung thick in the air, a hazy blanket of indecision and ennui. Like sweaty lounging sailors sprawled on a becalmed ship they eyed one another through swollen red lids.
"Ion curr bout this DP no mo," declared Mag1c, snorting hard through his left nostril and then spitting.
Long day, checking in. Guess we haven't made much more headway.
For the people who have a sus pile, can you explain why those players are in your sus pile?
Signing off, gonna be pretty busy tomorrow with my ongoing wrestling match with life upon a cold blood-soaked arena suspended over the black void of nihilism. Which is to say, I have to do plumbing. And I might have to ask my garrulous neighbor for spare pipe fittings at a time when I'm feeling reeeaaally in-person anti-social. Weep for me.
I don't feel like we've made much progress. I'd like to revisit WF's magic/nonmagic proposal or else see a lot more activity from everyone to base some better reads off of.
I'd pitch in a VTL here but I'm not gonna be at my phone all day tomorrow to play it by ear and unvote when appropriate.
Thinking of pairings
does white flame / casey make sense?
Not particularly. Agree with WF that pairing speculation seems premature.
Anyway, I would like to progress this DP in some direction. I've given it some more thought and, at least for this DP, I'm going to oppose any kind of mass softclaim. The best I can think of is magical characters vs. non-magical ones, and I think that's bound to both invite some confusion and limit scum's likely choices for PRs, so I don't think it's worth the cost. Every other one I can think of just makes it too obvious who certain people would be based on their softclaims, so they're not worth it, either.
I will say that my character justification is surprisingly light on spoilers. It doesn't reveal much about my character beyond some personality and physical issues.
I'm happy with this if everyone's on board. Love muh soft claims.
I really hate VTLing based on vibes. Everyone is null to me right now except a slight town lean on Mag1c and Kohai. whiteflame is just being cerebral and analytical like he always is regardless of alignment. Not sure how to read Casey.
One thing I want - does anyone else have something in their PM which implies that there are dire consequences to character claims? You can just say you do, no need to elaborate.
Nope.
It's consistent with the mod's warning that there may be anticlaim mechanics, unless that's also just boilerplate stuff that I'm reading too much into. But also Kohai has been pretty vocal that he wants everybody to stop leaning so much on early claiming and flex our behavior reading muscles. I do kind of depend on softing to gather some solid preliminary data.
It's difficult to know what triggered the hidden ability or whose ability it even was without more information.
I am townreading Kohai, but then I always townread Kohai, just like I always scumread Mikal. I know nothing about this theme and have no idea what the split would be if Madoka turned out to be scum, so for the moment I'm leaning town on Mag1c.
Very tired. Very busy tomorrow. Sleep beckons seductively.
Wonder if he's using random.org as a dice roll for the hidden ability triggers
I mean ur sus af if you're dragging around a wagon full of scams and bragging about it
I'm always at a disadvantage when it comes to anime and manga. I'll post a bit more when I'm back from Thanksgiving dinner at grandma's nursing home this evening.
Preliminary notes:
"If" there are mechanics which require randomness? "If" there are neutrals? So possiblyprobably a TP and possiblyprobably some kind of randomizer craziness down the road.
I'm gonna be really busy and also I suck but I made a commitment so let's fucking gew
I did something pretty stupid last time that I can't remember atm, so don't make me scum, thanks I appreciate it
Yeah that's crazy Luna you are neither of those things.
Since I did bring shame upon my ancestors last game I kinda wanna go on a hiatus. But @ me if you're short, I'll play if you can't find anyone else.
Also, lol at your posts being offensive you goof
