Lurker > red13n

Also if this somehow devolves in me having to defend myself when we at the very least out of peaf got to confirm that I am in fact the only explanation for sbell death I am going to get really irritated(We had all of your dumb conspiracying that Lea did something on the table).

Gardevoir's rise to rule 34 success initially wasn't due to furries, but it getting popular may have then contributed to some furries doing their own artwork of Gardevoir.

Okay luster this might be surprising but furries are people too.

I still contend the reason gardevoir is drawn has little to do with people being furries. People draw shit of basically every human character and she falls more under that.

Either red is scum/3p faking dumb, or otherwise I guess he doesnt need to read the posts by lesser tier players or checks notes co-hosts

I'm definitely a skimmer. Especially if tired or frustrated. That was definitely a frustrated.

I saw the modkill first, scrolled over to IGCD posting to a post asking if he was lying, him not saying he was lying, and then bouncing out.

BlueCrystalTear posted...

And then he got himself modkilled and flipped according to his original claim.

huh. Oh yeah IGCD kind of fucked us harder than I realized. I just took him at face value cause it was such an annoying end to the day.

BlueCrystalTear posted...

...have you read any of this topic?

I read IGCD's posts. He only has like 3 of them. The only thing he says he was lying about was having 1 charge.

BlueCrystalTear posted...

May I ask what makes you say this? IGCD was bluffing, so I wanna see your logic. (I have my own, mind you.)

Am I crazy? I don't see him saying he was bluffing.

If you guys want my conspiracy brain, I ponder if scum got a bonus for wiping out the neighborhood.

changmas posted...

hm on second thought do i think scum IGCD is ever able to do this play

thinking no at the moment but will continue pondering

Not likely I don't think.

Really want to hear from Peaf and his thing.

yeah obviously. i'm just providing a little pushback to the "oh you didn't vote strictly on design? you must just be submitting the smogon tier list" mentality that's weirdly common in here

I was honestly more curious what makes him competitively interesting since most people wouldnt even play the tiers hes available as far as i know.

The games are more fun when you do stupid shit like "fuck it I want all 3 Lycanroc at once". Then all of a sudden you've got massive type weaknesses and shit to overcome.

Steiner posted...

i find it soulless and shallow to vote solely based on design but it seems to be the primary thing for a lot of you! i always found it weird because this isn't "board 8's best pokemon design" but voting based on anything else is looked down on.

I pick the Pokemon I use in-game pretty much entirely by design. So attachment to them is a natural follow up.

Emeraldegg posted...

But you think it's weird that people would take competitiveness as a factor for a ranking then?

A little bit? When I look at stuff from a competitive angle its more a soulless numbers game.

Bane_Of_Despair posted...

Nah it's cool

Possibly. I just really hate this thing. Sword/Shield almost killed Pokemon for me. I didn't even blink at the gen 4 remakes, just watched the release go by and never considered purchasing. And that was a gen with a ton of my favorite Pokemon.

I ended up hearing they sucked and continued to not buy them.

It is about as arbitrary as the last half of sword and shield. Possibly my least favorite of all Pokemon. Possibly i'm probably forgetting something.

Emeraldegg posted...

People who play competitively aren't weirdos.

Didn't say they were.

I'm assuming you all ranked it that high for weirdo competitive Pokemon reasons that I don't bother to understand anymore because damn is this just an awful design.

Zigzagoon posted...

I sure hope a pokemon in my top 10 doesn't win, otherwise that'll mean they are popular and I'll like them less!

oh no a pokemon in your top 10 definitely definitely isn't winning yep.

finally. holy hell i fucking hated sword and shield. the game was cut short and then its like "lol heres eternatus who the fuck knows what this thing is"

I don't have a fucking clue what they were trying to do. Its got limbs coming out of everywhere, its got a dumb color scheme, its too big to ever figure out what is going on with it. It wraps up the worst game in the franchise in the worst way possible.

I like something like 14 pokemon this generation and then its a whole lot of indifference and hate.

oh dang i got a lot of enemies.

I mean, some sort of permanent loss of role feels like it would be relevant to your role.

FD that is completely not related to why I am asking this.

Yeah but what if a role lost the ability to do things(Limited use, roleblocked, maybe some sort of role theft, things like that). Nothing at all? This feels not specific enough.

i fell asleep.

EDumey posted...

Pretty much just left at "has the ability to move". Not sure what you mean by quirks. It's not a complex role, and doesn't specify exclusions or anything.

Has the ability to move? No specifications beyond that? No that night, in the game, day, night, anything?

If your scum on day 1 you think Sultan has built up a power with a no-talking restriction and would like to take him off the board.

Reading beyond that gets complicated.

I'd prefer you to be as specific as possible.

So can you explain that to me again in detail. Along with any quirks your role specifies with its actions. Or is it left at "can move" or "cant move".

EDumey posted...

Crazy that you take pride in not being able to read. You said you thought I was a motion detector, lmao.

oh I see. Still a weird scan choice tbh.

I went over why Dumey's claim was completely bonkers and made no sense long ago so I have no idea why anyone is still taking it like it had any value at any point since.

I would be disappointed if a legendary didnt finish last but people are weird.

I dont think I'm entirely happy with my list but also i'm tired so i sent it.

Death do you have any thoughts that aren't things we could easily surmise.

Raven

My instinct says the Lycanroc's just give the winners to dogs but theres definitely a lot of good cats.

Going to need a larger breakdown of cats and dogs here cause it isn't always clear.

I would assume the role does exactly what it says it does.

one

Oh yeah I wasnt going to bring that up but Im absolutely furious about this and I dont even live there any more. The mood at this news to me seems to be sheer anger but its actually even worse than presented here. The work had already begun, the land had been purchased so they are immediately ceasing work and selling the land off again at a marked down rate. In other words they are throwing a massive amount of money away to set a trap for Labour so they have to spend even more if they ever want to resume it. Salting the earth out of spite because they know they are going to lose. Also, the whole point of HS2 was to link the Midlands and the North and their redistribution of funds will in part go to wealthy areas of the South which already have much better transport. Its absolutely disgraceful. The Tory party destroys the North yet again.

Yeah California did some of the first part of that without all the political attachment.

There was so much room for rapid economic growth connecting northern california, southern california, and vegas all on one high speed rail line. Yet all our high speed rail attempts get lobbied out by the Elon Musks of the world

They were conceptualized back in the 90s and voter-approved(With money appropriated) back in 2008.We still have basically nothing to show for it.

Wait is the deadline the start of the 8th or is the 8th the last day to send stuff? I should have gotten clarification on this long ago.

"rawr how dare this person care about this inconsequential thing i dont care i just want vibes"

completely ignorant of the fact that the person responding to you might not actually give a shit about what they are talking about and may just be seeing how you react.

changmas posted...

80%+ of the time i just type things off of vibes and hit post

This is where you think you are unique and you aren't.

EDumey posted...

In response to

yeah sure but its a totally dumb response. Yes the person in neighbor chat saying if there is only one town its me is going to say that every time. Alignment be damned. Its such a waste of text why would you ever.

changmas posted...

if there's one town it's me, but i would very much like for it to be 3 town and we can all solve together

If theres one town?

I'm reluctantly awake sort of but feel very exhausted is this a real sort of triple neighbor claim?

PeaceFrog posted...

1 - both red and fd are scum and agreed to have this conversation in topic as opposed to their scum-only space. This would make sense for players who know that they struggle to post naturally and need a crutch to do so. I personally don't think either of them fall into that camp, so i think this possibility is unlikely.
2 - one is scum and the other is town, and the scum one wants to preemptively get the town one off their back and avoid confrontation. Possible.
3 - both are town and are feeling each other out, to check the vibes. Again, very possible.

honest answer, they are mostly a complete null tell for me other than I'd never do that on a scumteam with FD. But I also was slightly curious how people would take to them, for lack of better existing content.

htaeD posted...

The way FD 'accepted' BCTs vote also comes across as a rehearsed interaction. Not sure if thats FD backpedaling or BCT overcorrecting, or both.

rehearsed on which end?

Forceful_Dragon posted...

We're looking at December 16/18/19, but which park should we choose first? Just do Disneyland each day to rush to RotR?

Don't rush RotR. Its too far in the back of the park and it has startup reliability issues that often make it not open with the park. It is also about a 15-25 minute experience, so it uses up a lot of rope drop time. Until January both parks open 30 minutes early for hotel guests so you get a very limited rope drop benefit.

Passes are all blocked 16/18/19 so crowds are going to be ???(Big, but everyone is going to be a day guest) and the 16th may actually be the least crowded day. Genie+ becomes a requirement I think because day guests purchase Genie+ more often(And this makes the standby lines hell).

I think there is still value in starting DCA a day and going Guardians->Webslingers->Incredicoaster->Midway Mania(Possibly start Soarin' though I loathe backtracking it feels inefficient). Especially since DCA waits can get particularly long compared to Disneyland(DCA has more low capacity attractions), but there is definitely an argument to be made that Disneyland is more compact and you can make better use of the morning hours every day.

Forceful_Dragon posted...

Perhaps just getting genie+ on Saturday and counting on reduced less guests on Monday and Tuesday to help out?

depending on the exact day, monday and tuesday might actually be more crowded.

But the general rule of Disneyland these days is that due to reservations being required every day is just about equally crowded. In fact due to passholder patterns weekends are sometimes less crowded than weekdays. Very slightly. Maybe 5-10% variation on crowds, but not much.

3 days you could conceivably get away with no genie and still experience everything. But the $30 adds significant value. So does park hopper for 3 days.

And yeah one per attraction per day is the new limitation. Outside that the system works pretty much the same as it used to.

Only minor difference is that Rise of the Resistance and Radiator Springs Racers are outside the genie+ bubble, their laneskip is sold separately(For $15-25 each). I don't recommend these purchases. Group of 2 that has been before should single rider RSR and Rise has high capacity and I recommend just waiting out the line or getting in line just before it closes; it typically closes at either 9pm or 10pm, check the app for closure time.

I still visit multiple times monthly so I can take any inquiries you have.
