Good afternoon, fellowship. I'll be your guide along the road to Rivendell and beyond. If at any point during your travels you are feeling frustrated, upset, or otherwise bothered don't hesitate to send me a message. Don't worry, Sauron can't hear us. Good luck to you all.

sofi comes from lostpedia, like a lot of us did. I think she played on hedville and RM a little too. I don't remember a lot of the specifics, but she's definitely not new.

well looking at her posts on this site, she played in two games a few years ago plus the most recent burglary, but I know that other than the burglary she hasn't played in a few years. but yeah she comes from LP like me and kyle, and played on a couple other sites like RM and the piano back then. So I guess she has some right to feeling like a noob on the syndicate specifically, not knowing most of the players and not having played for a long time

Lolololol. Here we go.

Not I'm not new. I started playing 10years ago on LP and have played on various sites since with several people here. But it has been a long time since I last played, excluding the speed game or whatever you called it I played on here the other night.

And if Kyle talks about SoFi, he's talking about me - that used to be my name....

I also like to lynch him a lot. For giggles.

idk the chance that you're actually teammates is probably pretty low, especially with all this interaction right after the game thread opens on day 0, but still I could see it as a possibility based on this behavior. and making a bold assertion like this should stimulate the discussion. hence the hot take
