today I spent 2 1/2 hours after work cooking. I made:
Rice, with no issue.
6 scrambled eggs, with no issue.
I prepped an entire container of mushrooms, then decided they weren't good enough to quell my foodborne illness anxiety after spending all that time preparing them, and tossed them.
I lost 1/3 trout filets from it just... sliding out of the packaging straight into the trash.
I had 2 shallots. While trying to peel them, I lost one of them three times and gave up after the 3rd time, once it fell deep into the trashcan.
When I turned around from dealing with the shallots, the cat was on the counter licking the open container of now-cooked trout. Have to throw away the few pieces on top, so now I have even less trout.
And it ends with 1/2 poblano peppers having gone bad because it was freezing in the fridge, somehow.
At least I got 1 good shallot, some old garlic done-with, and good baby broccoli and zucchini for my vegetables, I guess.

I am now going to try to convince myself that you're being like this because you're sick, and not because you're mafia and it's multiball and we're doomed
Hi fellow trainer! I saw you from across the road, and I need your help!
Pikaaachu!!!
Did you say... multi ball? The only multi ball I know are pokeballs, greatballs, ultraballs, and the super rare masterball! Are you also trying to catch them all?!?!
Wait, now you're Pokemon?
I ever since I was a kid, I've always dreamed of being a pokemon master! And now I'm on that journey with my trusty partner, Pikachu! Isn't that right, Pikachu?
Pika Pika!!!
I'm a genius, and I know I've gotten my wires crossed a time or fourteen.
But this seems wildly unusual to go from wasting food to cavorting with something that could be food (and probably cook the food too, now that I've studied the species...)
So it sounds to me as though you got something wrong early on in your instruction manual!
I will move my vote to you for now while I work on these chili dogs....

Apologies, my friends, for I was attending a conference with the Academy last night, and wow, many, many great ideas and presenters. You really should go! Very eye opening.
I saw that Vivax was asking for a vote from me specifically. Not sure why, I don't think he's ever come by the lab, or exchanged ideas with me and my team. Apologies again for the late response, but the NAI of course takes precedence! Let's ehhhhh power up the device and see what it -- oh! I didn't expect sparks. Must increase the bandwitch capacitor perhaps.
There was a brief readout though, I hope it wasn't proximity interference, so I will [VOTE:
vivax] aubergine at this time!

This is entirely on me though. Where’s uP or Enchant to say “skill issue” when you need them?
Having time to keep up helps as well instead of catching up constantly over morning coffee and dinner lol

I am of course Manu in that video, as the only correct answer.

Can it be?

Why is that? I feel like there's plenty of people here who seem to be expected to be given a free pass, and Wilgy literally hasn't even posted at all.
1) Are you post-restricted? Like legit unable to post normally? Or just roleplaying and you COULD post otherwise if you wanted to?
2) You quoted all the other game-relevant posts, but are voting me for polling about video games? I didn't see you give a reaction to any of my other posts

Obligatory explanation that I do a poll on D0/D1 every game and it's NAI. But I would point out that I have a decent amount of game-relevant content--do you have any thoughts on those?

I don't even feel like LC has said anything about the game, just roleplay stuff, so calling that his town meta feels kinda premature?
I agree on Spurs needing more, I keep seeing the posts and feels like any useful content is getting swallowed up by the voting stuff, and I've been wondering if he's gonna try to dig into any parallels between games here

Sorry for the run-on.
Yes pretty much that. But in between town reading them and not wanting to scum read them, I can see a world where they could be mafia.
It’s like they’re on a scale that’s close to being level, and it could lean towards scum, but I think (along with my previously stated bias) it leans town.

You've conflated votes with reads there
And Trekkie's position makes perfect sense to me (as someone who also will lean into this). Do you never have any players you'd expect to feel more confident in being able to read from your experience with them?
