Oh on the contrary I don't think she's shitty at all, I think this game is causing chaos. I heart neon. She knows that

That was meant to be a response to a previous post haha, but alas linki

Self voting should be policied honestly

On one hand I get it but like the pragmatic side is like it’s more harmful to vote off a shitty civ than a potential mafia member

Self voters flip scum far more often than town and is anti town if they are town anyways so *shrugs*

Not in my experience, but I also speak as a chronic self-voter.

I have stats somewhere that I recorded and it's like pretty high in favor of scum in general

Ime

[VOTE: Rondo] aubergine

Man I don't want to be perpetually PoEd this game

I started policying self votes cause of FoL tbh.

Every time I've killed a self voter on FoL they've flipped scum lol

Marmot, do you have an error with the Rondo yeet that I missed?

I’d be down to consider SVS next phase fkr sure

Re Rondo,

Eh, not the worst yeet. I asked multiple times for Rondo to clear things up for me but they didn't.

Flip is a 50/50 but will hopefully guide us the right direction either way.

A rondo yeet feels like a shrug rn tbh

I honestly actually don't think Rondo is a hit... which sucks

Quin seemed convinced of a Dennis, Lucy, SVS team.

Reassessing per being wrong on Dennis and Lucy, but perhaps a critical eye on SVS is probably welcome.

I personally feel that I struggle with SVS as my brain malfunctions halfway through a discussion with them. I feel that there's too many subjects of discourse to hold a solid thought processes.

Kk. Same for me, but I like it more than Neon.

Was curious to see if Neon would build with you declaring your intent and me moving on there. Interesting that it didn't.

(also mind you this isn't an SVS specific thing, I just struggle with multi quotes in the same post once it's past like 2-3 subjects.)

I read what Epignosis and fingersplints said about her today and I kinda agreed with it.

Whereas Rondo feels more like a bored townie than a wolf today. I'm not opposed to his chop, just didn't feel strongly about it anymore.

When did you vote Neon, Wilgy?

If Rondo was correct and a W, there was a strange resistance to votes landing on you in counter.

Rondo may be incorrect or wolves may be asleep.

Only Me and Marmot entertained you as counter. Worth note.

Shit did I not post the vote? My b. Was around when I responded if people would be around for EoD about 30 min ago.

Move to Rondo only 3 min left.

Honestly I'd rather die today than be perpetually in poe

Day 3: Self-Voting for Democracy

The group heavily mourned Dennis’s death while drinking spiked hot cocoas and arguing whether Die Hard and Meet Me in St. Louis are actually proper Christmas films.

“It only takes place during Christmas; it doesn’t have any Yuletide themes!” Shouted Burlap.

“Well the other one transpires over a full calendar year!” Argued Felt.

Corduroy and Taffeta walked arm in arm to look at a puppy that had sauntered over to their group.

“Can we keep it?” Corduroy asked.

Before anyone could answer, the dog grabbed its poison kit and jabbed Corduroy with it.

RDB has died. He was Corduroy.

It is now Night 3. You have 48 hours in this cycle.

I honestly don't remember if corduroy is town or not lol

Corduroy is a vanilla civ.

Thank you

Not enough cheese cake voters

Merry Christmas, to those who celebrate, and a Wonderful Day to those who don't! Time to go pick out some cake!

OMG Zaccutto is AMAZING! Now I want some.

Happy holidays!!!

Ok time to turn this around

But not yet…
Merry Christmas!

I have had the most wonderful holiday. It was stressful and I was hating every moment of it… then Val said “mommy”

For those who don’t know my daughter is non verbal autistic, and I just want to cry at this moment. It’s been an hour and a half and I’m STILL crying writing this. Merry Christmas all. I love you alll

What a great present merry Christmas!

That's so awesome and special I'm so happy for you!!

As the father of an autistic son, reading this is the best moment of my day.

What’s the worst gift you have ever received?

Mine was at a White Elephant last year and consisted of an apparatus you attach to your toilet so you can flush it with your foot. Very gag gift vibes, Luckily, someone stole it off me and I got to choose another gift (which ended up being a World Market ‘Teas Around the World’ tin.

TL; DR: Merry Christmas / Last Night of Hanukkah to those who practice.

See this is a hard question for me to answer because even the gifts I wasnt really desiring I always deeply appreciate. My mom always apologized for not being able to get us good gifts cause we were poor and I was always the one kid who was like I really don't care what you get me mom and I think that stuck with me my whole life.

And a heartwarming entry from Neon too!

This is the best Holiday gift ever, Splints! I have a niece who is also non verbal, and the first time she said "Mama" my sister was bawling like a baby, she was so happy.

Worst Gift Ever

My husband never got the knack of buying gifts for women, his sister always did his shopping for him when he was younger.

One year he got me a weed whacker for Christmas cause I said we needed one. Woo Hoo. And for bonus points, it was a gas powered one that required a pull cord like a lawn mower, and I was unable to start it. So only he could use it. Which kinda worked out for me in the end lol.

Congrats Lucy

I am over the moon for you <3 It is always the little things in life that bring the most joy and happiness. I am happy for you but I am also very happy for Val. She gave you the *best* present any mommy could ever want

don't be mad but I really have never received the "worst gift" possible. I am just happy when people/family/friends remember me with anything. just very appreciative.

I am sorry for missing the last vote but tbh I was going to vote Rondo. I do not want to deny it as I have had my eye on him since D 1.

Yes it was bc my family is more important than anything else on the face of the planet.

I am currently re-evaluating all of my reads as we have yet to even find one single baddie for elim.

Hope to make a new reads list before night ends.

also I chose devils food bc there is NO other cake or pie that is better.

Buche de Noel!

I made one with my best friend for French class when I was in high school, and such fun memories.

If this is a multiple choice poll, I’m also choosing coconut cake as it’s one of the first things I ate after Jude was born, and some other cakes I enjoy that don’t have any sentimental reason for choosing.

I think my worst gift ever was my FIL gifted me this plastic apron, but then immediately took the apron and cleaned the oven with it, then left the apron absolutely disgusting lol I actually like house stuff as gifts; it was more the surprise that he immediately used it and left it in that state. But that’s family lol

Tbh I love presents but not so much the receiving as the giving is important to me. I literally plan all year making little lists so that I can get loved ones the well thought out gifts with my little money. My parents give me money every year and my mom has to literally nag me what I got myself because she knows I will spend it all on everyone else.
