RSVP: Crux of the Matter ~ March 6th

[dense jasper]

Moo and i gonna be staring at eachother at the con playing this game like
👀

now i reaaaally wish our booths were actually facing each other

we should definitely day 1 asynch though

[paper fossil]

i'm going to request that people refrain from dropping at this point since i... do need to write flavour and keep the game a reasonable pace 😭

[rich solstice]

😭

[paper fossil]

im doing random seating btw, i would have pinged a few days before but i blanked and now i'm... lazy lmao

[turbid talon]

Hell yeah

It's ganna be really funny if Batu and I end up on opposite teams and I start suspecting them I'm just ganna be at con

[dense jasper]

Its gonna be a whole new level.. I suddenly feel for all the couples who play ling text together

[rich solstice]

good luck ya'llll

[severe robin]

I think it's basically impossible, like I tried with Erica and accidentally looked at her phone for something unrelated and got spoiled for the game.

Well assuming the couple is living together

It was very funny to each be sitting on a different couch in our living room texting at each other though haha 😆

[turbid talon]

it's ganna be so interesting

[severe robin]

I don't think we will try it again but we would have to turn off push notifications and be very careful and it's probably not worth it.

[safe pendant]

You could do it with revolutionary maybe? So you're the same alignment?

[severe robin]

We like being Rev Paired so maybe the next time there is a Rev Pairs game we can check it out.

But honestly just seeing her in real life is a huge advantage like way more than accidentially seeing one of her neighbor whispers.

Like you get so much more reliable socials in person like it's not even fair tbh

[safe pendant]

yeah that's fair

I don't see it working outsider of Rev pairs

[severe robin]

Yeah probably Rev Pairs, I think most of the couples that play together here are remote

Remote is probably fine

[untold sentinel]

wait what con is this?

[turbid talon]

It's a local anime convention. Idk if Batu cares if I out our area so if they wanna give the name I'll let them 😅

[untold sentinel]

what kind of booths

idk how anime conventions are set up

[turbid talon]

We both have vendor booths at the show to sell our art

Batu Crochets I believe, and I make handcrafted dice sets.

[untold sentinel]

oh cool

can i see some of your work? i love cool dice

and crochet

[dense jasper]

Idk about being doxed but the name will mean nothing to anyone else. But yeah, small local con. I have a wide variety of crafts for display. I will have hand bound notebooks, nalbinding dice bags, handsewn stuffed animals, some bookmarks, and some things that other friends have done that im outting out as well.

I will take pictures tomorrow once the table is set up everything is packed now

Oh also chainmaile and wire woven bracelets. And some knitted scale jand warmers and dragons.

Its really just a bunch of random stuff

[turbid talon]

I was so far off base look at me go worst part is I should have know that

[turbid talon]

Some of my favorite sets

Oh this one is fun because it has (ethically sourced) snake shed in it! (Pls don't mind the fact that the numbers aren't painted I forgot to take pictures when I finished them)

[dense jasper]

ive only vended at a con once and it was a few years ago so no big

[turbid talon]

Yeah but we've talked about it like recently my brain is just chaos

[dense jasper]

i am doing last minute sewing so i totally get the chaos

[untold sentinel]

oh those are gorgeous

[untold sentinel]

ethnically lmao

[autumn slate]

Those first ones look so tasty

[turbid talon]

I can't spell apparently

[turbid talon]

Thank you!

[onyx olive]

Gave +1 Thanks to @untold sentinel (current: #360 - 118)

[autumn slate]

They do look great :)

[turbid talon]

Yes... I often wish to eat the dice

[turbid talon]

Ty!

It's a lot of work but I love the way they turn out

[hot glen]

holy shit yall live close to each other thats so cool

[autumn slate]

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic here :p

[turbid talon]

I'm not... sometimes they look like candy.... 😅

[turbid talon]

Ye! Batu and I know each other irl. They are actually the reason I joined the server, I wanted to play in their first long text game and now I won't leave

[autumn slate]

I do think wanting to eat dice sets is weirdly common

[turbid talon]

It is lol

If I had the time money and patience I could make cany dice

[autumn slate]

Actually something like rock candy dice sounds so good

[hot glen]

oh my god thats the most based reason

[turbid talon]

But I'm kinda a disaster and the temp you need to get things for candy is ganna put me in the hospital

[hot glen]

i have this one set of dice that i want to eat so bad

dammit i need to travel to meet botc people

[autumn slate]

Yeah I think no one in my area plays clocktower

[dense jasper]

i have an ice mold thats giant dice. Could make jello dice O.O

[turbid talon]

I honestly joined and was like yeah I'll play Batu's game then I'll probably be good to leave the server

This was in fact not what happened

[turbid talon]

Oooooooooo

[hot glen]

im so proud to have co - st with you for your first time

[turbid talon]

How giant is giant?

[turbid talon]

It was a great time!

[dense jasper]

uh...

[turbid talon]

Like to big to shove the whole thing in your mouth giant? Or just larger than normal dice giant?

[hot glen]

looking forward to babytalk in a bit

[turbid talon]

Yaaaaaasssssss

It's ganna be awesome

[hot glen]

also ya mans is shattered

just went to a google event

[hot glen]

biiiiiiiig

[dense jasper]

i would say similar to a d100 or the giant d20s

[turbid talon]

Aight probably can't just pop the whole dice in ya mouth

[turbid talon]

What happened?

[hot glen]

this sounds like a challange

[hot glen]

google apprentice event which was lowkey useless and networking is a made up thing

[autumn slate]

Watch me

[hot glen]

i could eat an entire dice if it was jello

or a gummy

noot hard candy

[turbid talon]

It wasn't a challenge

[hot glen]

it is now lmao

batu im on my way to you

ill bring jello

[turbid talon]

I'll say hi too!

[autumn slate]

One stolen is now rapidly approaching your location

[hot glen]

this has scared many a person

[hot glen]

id love that

[dense jasper]

[hot glen]

homie im uk based

[dense jasper]

i know

[hot glen]

its a long flight then a long drive

[dense jasper]

thats the joke

[hot glen]

im thick

[turbid talon]

[hot glen]

the us has so many botc conventions

comparitively

[autumn slate]

I think I’ve heard of like one Canadian one and it’s further away from me than some of the us ones Im pretty sure

[turbid talon]

We sure do

[hot glen]

i wish there were some closer to me

[turbid talon]

-# it's not actually a lot we just happen to have a few lol

[hot glen]

if im ever coming that way ill hit you up for the state

[hot glen]

we have like none

or we do but

traiiiiin

[turbid talon]

Valid

I've never been on a train

Or plane

[hot glen]

WHAT

[turbid talon]

Hmmmm

[hot glen]

MOO

[turbid talon]

I need to do that

[hot glen]

TRAIN?

[turbid talon]

🤷‍♀️

[hot glen]

this is where i claim uk supremacy

[autumn slate]

Why is that so surprising to you??

[turbid talon]

I lived a very ah simple life

[hot glen]

we have cool based trains

[hot glen]

i get on the tube once a week and like

going anywhere outta london is train

[turbid talon]

I don't even know where I would go to take a train anywhere actually

The us is weird

[hot glen]

no one in my immedeate family drives

trains here are peaceful

[turbid talon]

Honestly to many people drive here, accidents are so uncomfortably common

[autumn slate]

I wish I wasn’t living in a country built around the idea that everyone has a car and can drive

[hot glen]

in london having a car is lowkey a inconveinence like

[turbid talon]

I feel this

[autumn slate]

Yeah they weirdly are. Though I think I’ve only heard about one person whos died from them :P

[turbid talon]

I didn't learn to drive till like 22 because I hate driving so I just took public busses everywhere

[autumn slate]

Like they happen i just don’t hear about them a lot?

[autumn slate]

Yeah Im currently learning to drive and I kinda hate it :3

[hot glen]

I have a lesson in a few weeks

Low-key scares me

[turbid talon]

Ah yeah I uh keep up with the news ok it in my area so I've heard of at least 3 deaths in the last month or so

[autumn slate]

Oh yeah that’s why. I don’t watch the news

[turbid talon]

It's terrifying being in charge of a vehicle with other people you don't know

[autumn slate]

I just had driving lesions. They weren’t bad but not enjoyable :3

[hot glen]

Being in charge of a moving vehicle scares me

[autumn slate]

Same

[hot glen]

I am small and cars are fast I should not be allowed them

[autumn slate]

Though the reason im scared of being in control of a moving vehicle is more personal

[paper fossil]

ahahahhahahahaha.

[hot glen]

That’s fair

[paper fossil]

train. in the us? never.

[hot glen]

Y’all should get trains

They cool

[paper fossil]

i’ve been on a train once and that was once, when i was like… nine in the uk

[autumn slate]

I really want to make a joke about your username and trains :3

[frozen escarp]

I am fine with going to drive a moving vehicle, because I can't do worse than the other people that are around my age

[turbid talon]

I legit was like damn I should ride a train.... where would I even do that??

[paper fossil]

i don’t trust myself to drive

i struggle too much with focusing on objects

[autumn slate]

So real

[paper fossil]

lol

[hot glen]

Eyes r funky

[turbid talon]

Driving makes me want to sleep

There isn't enough to focus on

[autumn slate]

I dissociate and zone out sooo much which is terrible for trying to drive

[paper fossil]

Oh that too

my eyes are perma-semi defocused

to compensate

id get them looked at again but like i dont want to deal with all of that icl

[turbid talon]

Valid

[autumn slate]

I think most of my senses are worse than average but not enough to be able to really do anything about them :3

[turbid talon]

Yeah.... it be like that sometimes

[autumn slate]

Though actually I can do something about my sense of smell I just don’t care to

(Im slightly allergic to so many things 😭 )

[turbid talon]

Oh noooooooo

[rich solstice]

I got COVID (at some point) and I don't think my sense of smell has been the same ever since

[turbid talon]

That's aweful I'm sorry

[hot glen]

My sisters sense of smell never recovered

[paper fossil]

one moment chat

addst @autumn slate

[rich solstice]

aaaaaaah

[paper fossil]

lad’s gotten a promotion

right carry on

[rich solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/kitten-falling-kitten-falls-kitten-fall-kitten-cute-cat-gif-17563015

[rich solstice]

Can I have a promotion from kibitz to head kibitz 🥺 /j

[paper fossil]

hmm

no 😁 /j yes ofc

[autumn slate]

Well I did just leave that position so it is now open

[paper fossil]

i need to remember who wanted to kib and who wanted to backpack

damn

[autumn slate]

Remembering who wants to backpack is not your problem

[paper fossil]

i shouldve made a message

[autumn slate]

Kibbing is though

[paper fossil]

i gotta ping them in and NOT ping them into kib though

[autumn slate]

I would say it’a either the backpacker or the person they’re backpacking’s responsibility to tell you whos backpacking who

[paper fossil]

🤔correct actually

@cosmic jolt forgot you don’t intend to play, can you leave signups?

[autumn slate]

He’s probably asleep right now

[paper fossil]

oh for sure

but id forget to ping if i didnt now

[rich solstice]

XDDDDD love it yay

(The grader came around and I had to dip to get graded)

[autumn slate]

The grader??

[rich solstice]

it's like a project

and every week you have to go somewhere and wait for someone to grade it

and talk to you to make sure you were the one that did the project

[verbal bone]

Did you colour the shed?
All sets are so coooool. Love the various d4s

[turbid talon]

Yes! I used a couple shades of green alcohol ink and micha powder it was a fun process

[deep garden]

I'm going to get so spoiled on flavour games

[plucky anchor]

wooooo

[paper fossil]

i will try to write good flavour 🫡

i only wrote flavour for 2 games so far but i cant lie my favourite is still the casino themed one because my st-character was evil 😭

[autumn slate]

Looks good to me :3

[paper fossil]

running a themed game is fun because im doing a full writeup on why i chose things that i did for flavour

like, i have a fully formatted pdf of this. i am going as hard as i can lol

[untold sentinel]

its slightly better when you think about it in terms of area, the UK is roughly the size of Oregon

[turbid talon]

why is the US so large

[untold sentinel]

colonialism mostly

[turbid talon]

ah yes

[autumn slate]

So true bestie

[untold sentinel]

dc metro my betolerated

[paper fossil]

dc has a metro??

actually that makes sense

I think the closest public transport to me is in the next state's capital

[untold sentinel]

"Metrorail provides safe, clean, reliable transit service for more than 600,000 customers a day throughout the Washington, DC area. The system is the second busiest in the United States, serving 98 stations in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia."

*"safe, clean, reliable" not necessarily included

[paper fossil]

LMAO

[autumn slate]

Wow this is really tomorrow :0

[paper fossil]

not its not

you're crazy.

[autumn slate]

I already knew that. I don't see how that's related to the topic at hand though

[verbal bone]

Ooo I've never heard of?! D'you remember where?

[autumn slate]

I don't remember where other than like somewhere in Ontario??

[verbal bone]

Ok yeah Ontario was the safe guess. Cool.

[autumn slate]

It was a while ago that I heard about this though, I have no evidence for it and I have entirely forgotten about it :3

[paper fossil]

@cosmic jolt sorry, this got buried!

[cosmic jolt]

done sorry

[paper fossil]

dwbi ty 😁

@orchid coyote hi sorry for late notice, i believe you were swapping with dotcross? if you still want to play would you mind joining the signup 😁 ?

Oh hi x-man

Sorry did something happen there i wasn't aware of

[frozen escarp]

I wasn't on the list

I thought

[paper fossil]

squints at it

[autumn slate]

uhh But the spot that just opened was for someone in specific??

[paper fossil]

wwwwhat the hell is going on lmao do i inexplicably have 13p

[autumn slate]

I think that list might just be fully wrong at this point :3

[paper fossil]

Ugh

Ill hit people with rocks when the channel opens and sub people who want to be

[autumn slate]

I don't want to backread all 1253 messages in this :3

[paper fossil]

...yeah

maybe i should have just sted a normal game 💀

[autumn slate]

Yeah I still don't fully get why you made this a reserved

[frozen escarp]

Oh it was a different game for me joining in, but I also was in line to join this if people needed to sub out

Or sub in for someone who subbed out

[paper fossil]

Yeah that spot was opened specifically for a newbie lol

I can keep you on standby though

[round radish]

Hi John I’m a newbie

[paper fossil]

i am literally incapable of st-ing past the 21st and i didn't want the game to be sprung on me during finals and then not have like... time to run it until next month

[paper fossil]

i'm sure, macbeth.

[round radish]

Who, me?

[autumn slate]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[round radish]

Might be mixing me up with another pebbles

[autumn slate]

I think he's thinking of gravel

That game after you became the demon I tried not to call you your real name once

[frozen escarp]

Oh I can go away then

Peaced out

[paper fossil]

ty 😭

[onyx olive]

Gave +1 Thanks to @frozen escarp (current: #989 - 19)

[orchid coyote]

hey! thanks for letting me know to do that.

[onyx olive]

Gave +1 Thanks to @paper fossil (current: #646 - 51)

[paper fossil]

yeah np!!

this is your first longtext right?

[orchid coyote]

I started one on another server, but i have the rules google doc open in a tab for reference

[paper fossil]

oooh

okay!

[frozen escarp]

If there are too many people in sign ups, could I travel in?

[autumn slate]

MATRON GAME 🔥 🔥 🔥

[paper fossil]

uuuuuuuuh honestly i would prefer not to deal with travellers?WE ARE NOT DOIGN A MATRON GAME

I would rather have standby for sub than travellers

[frozen escarp]

Okay

[untold sentinel]

MATRON GAAAAAAME

[paper fossil]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[frozen escarp]

Isn't apprentice a BMR traveler (to cause less pain)

[autumn slate]

Apprentice is also like the worst one :3

Well I'd argue butcher is worse but shhhh

[frozen escarp]

At causing pain to the ST?

[autumn slate]

At being balanced for the game

[frozen escarp]

Well that to but uhhh

[untold sentinel]

butcher isn’t bmr

butcher is snv

[autumn slate]

I was thinking in general. Butcher sounds ... I don't even know how to vocalize how bad it would be on bmr

[untold sentinel]

it would be baaaaaaaad

[autumn slate]

Somehow worse than it already is

[untold sentinel]

bmr’s balance is hinged on one execution per day

[autumn slate]

The only good way to play it as evil in regular games is to not nom and that basically confirms you as evil

[untold sentinel]

bmr is the best script ever fym

[untold sentinel]

wait what are you talking about

[autumn slate]

Butcher

[untold sentinel]

butcher is the trav that gets to nom once after the execution

[autumn slate]

Yup

[untold sentinel]

ahh i see what you’re saying

yup

[autumn slate]

Bmr is my favorite on longtext :)

Out of the b3 I mean

[untold sentinel]

bmr is really good in longtext yeah

tb has poisoner which lowkey fucks everything up
snv is… yeah

[autumn slate]

I don't think I'm ever going to play proper longtext snv because I'll just think of the +1(2?) game if I did

[frozen escarp]

How does a poisoner just ruin TB longtext?

[dark fulcrum]

its a lot of pure socials with poisoner in play

since it massively increases possible worlds

every evil ping can be droisoned, every slayer shot can be droisoned, etc

there are certain limitations

but still

there's a reason im poisoner paranoid

[untold sentinel]

it means basically every world has a huge “unless there was a lucky/skilled poisoning here” asterisk that while necessary to balance the script also doesn’t translate super well into longtext where you have so much time to sort through worlds and get super invested in the game

it’s mostly fine in longtext TB, but when you start getting into customs it gets really rough really fast

[dark fulcrum]

yeah i put poisoner on basically no customs

[untold sentinel]

dire being responsible? i must be dreaming

[dark fulcrum]

shh the real reason is im too lazy to make good customs

[cosmic jolt]

DID SOMEONE SAY MATRONNNN

🫨

[autumn slate]

yes... are you deaf??

[cosmic jolt]

no? ok

must have been the spiders in my ears telling me stuff

[ebon sundial]

share DICEEEE

[ebon sundial]

i love all the high contrast ones

[ebon sundial]

yea

they look like hard candy

oh for christmas i did receive dice candy

idk if i took a picture

[ebon sundial]

cola flavored

err rootbeer*

[turbid talon]

I can get some more pictures later today

[paper fossil]

[autumn slate]

Yay face your fears is starting today :D

[paper fossil]

WAHOO

[turbid talon]

Like 20 minutes

[frozen escarp]
