1) Did you have this perspective at the time you made that post?

2) Why am I only seeing this read right now?

1) yes

2) I have expressed my concerns about you at least once (in reference to your refusal to have an open mind about me). Apologies if I have not stated my townread on jack but yo be fair he and I have been mindmelding a fair amount so I may have erroneously thought it would go without saying.

No TMI and I don't care what you think is salad.

This one troubles me in the realm of TMI:

Surely you know full well that he is reacting to things as he reads and this is absolutely par for the course for jack. Shut your damn overeager mouth.

You go back, Jack, do it again, wheels turning round and round you go back, Jack, do it again

You read me as town, read Jack as ___?___, and for some reason felt the urge to defend him here from my attacks.

Jack is more town than you. I have my doubts about you but he shines bright green.

1. I was trying to think of steely dan lyrics that were at least tangentially or metaphorically related to my posts, which is a challenge inspired by my Beatles curse in goc.
2. It's pretty goddamn annoying to do on a phone.
3. Not intended to detract from my effort, but I noticed it was starting to have that effect because I had a higher effort threshold for posting and I got tired of it hampering my play, so I decided to stop once d1 actually started so I can post freely.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 7:51 pm Hey nutella where do you gain the confidence to deflect suspicions on [not you] this early in the game with such hubris?

From nova being 2019 Best Civilian, in which I have especial confidence conferred upon me by my position as 2018 Best Civilian.

Some of us have not hosted a Side Mission in ages.

Also, the poll is doing funky things, like changing checked boxes and deleting input. That seems to be why I had to fix the poll twice during Day 0.

I fear the monkey in your poll

Gnarly dude.

Besides maybe glorfindel lolol

Lol no it's funny because speed is the most straightedge guy on the site.

Lol I just noticed the rule but voted correctly take that

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 5:00 pm Cause Nova said it. Why would Nova’s hot take be that the two of you are scum together?

that's why i think your thought process is a bit shaky.

So you think maybe Nova was confessing? What are you talking about?

Lmao yeah I'm with jack on this one. As I said earlier the implication was juliets/Mac w/w because nova called it out. I guess nova could do that for the wine but that would just be too silly.

When Black Friday comes
I'm gonna dig myself a hole
Gonna lay down in it til
I satisfy my soul

Dunya is right. I use spicy similarly to "hot take" in that it means someone has made a particularly good/elegant/compelling observation or takedown of someone else. Especially in this sort of context it does imply some agreement yes.

Well I hear the whistle but I can't go, I'm gonna
Take her down to Mexico, she said oh no
Guadalajara won't do
Well, I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And I'm never going back
To my old school

I thought Nova's point about juliets was spicy because it seemed weird to me that juliets said it at all and I felt like it would come from a juliets who had insider knowledge about their alignments rather than a juliets who didn't. Just feels like an unnatural comment to make if she had no other reason to find it a compelling competition to follow, idk.
Well I should know by now
That it's just a spasm
Like a Sunday in T.J.
That it's cheap but it's not free
That I'm not what I used to be
And that love's not a game for three
Babylon sisters shake it
Babylon sisters shake it
So fine so young
Tell me I'm the only one

You think Jay and Jack could be bad together?? Or are they completely separate suspicions without teammate compatibility taken into account bc I would be very surprised.

See the glory of the royal scam

I think I'm actually going to stop when d1 actually starts bc I'm already tired of it lol

I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work
No more
I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah

Lunalee wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 2:03 pm so what's up with nutella's weird posts? I keep trying to find a code of some sort in them.

??? I have already explained I am just doing it as a fun little challenge for myself to be in the spirit of the theme. Why try to read so much into it when if you had read all my posts you would have seen that explanation

How can you knock this mighty spitelock
Check out the work itself
A mix of elegance and function
That's right - a tweak or two and then she's out of here
Flame is the game
The game we call gaslighting Abbie
It's a luscious invention for three
One summer by the sea

But I may need to revise my take on you if you are unwilling to change your mind. Usually town Jay calls me out for something, I respond with righteous rage, and he backs down saying I'm civilian because of my defense. But here you are refusing to see through to my town self. Take off the tinted glasses for five seconds or I'll assume they are glued to your face.
Like a gangster
On the run
You will stagger homeward
To your precious one
I'm the one
Who must make everything right
Talk it out till daylight
I don't care anymore
Why you run around
Break away
Just when it
Seems so clear
That it's
Over now
Drink your big black cow
And get out of here

You've called me a "parody" of myself, and you've called me "overeager".

You've also called me town. Because you know you can't extend your shade into an actual accusation. Die.

These are not reasons for suspecting you. You seem like your town self, which is annoying as hell. I am expressing annoyance. Idk where you got the idea to equate that with suspicion.


Only a fool would say that.

I don't find that remotely spicy. Do you believe nutella genuinely found it to be spicy?

This is seriously the lamest accusation. Why do you think I faked that reaction? Of course I thought it was spicy you absolute nitwit.

nutella wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 11:06 pm I have taken stances. Nova town. Speed bad (not sure if I still think that). Add to that you are town, juliets, luna, and mac are on notice. Call that salad, see if I care. I don't even know who all is playing bc the thread has been so lacklustre.

i checked your iso and didn't see any stances taken before this post. i don't know why you think speed was ever bad. why is nova town. why is jay town. why are luna and mac on notice specifically? i can't even recall a single thing mac has said beyond checking in? the only post you made where i could see an opinion on any player was your quote of nova re: juliets (the infamous "ohhhh sppppiCCCYYY") which implies you saw juliets in a possibly negative light, but it is speed you thought/think is bad.

i liked the fire you spat at jay, but i don't like this nutella post.

I called nova town and speed bad in my first post to throw out my impressions from the posts up to that point. So those were the previous stances, before the juliets/Mac thing came up which I found an intriguing possibility (the implication that they're teammates. So I'm keeping a close eye on both of them. As
for Luna, well she only has a couple posts and they didn't feel the most natural (as Jay pointed out she kinda overjustified her d0 vote).

The comparison you draw between my speed and juliets mentions is unfair. Speed was an early gut suspect. Like, early early. I'm giving him a chance to say what he can (in his state lol). Juliets I am keeping an eye on because of a strange thing nova pointed out that may tie her to Mac, and I don't see anything inspiring from Mac so that is on the table imo.

You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind
And you could have a change of heart
Rikki don't lose that number
You don't want to call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

Also when has anyone ever cared what your post count is
quit being such a parody of yourself

Who are these strangers who pass through the door?
Who cover your action and go you one more?
If you're feeling lucky you best not refuse
It's your game the rules are your own win or lose
Throw out your gold teeth and see how they roll
The answer they reveal, life is unreal

Maybe if you quit running your mouth for five seconds now that I'm finally devoting more than five seconds at a time to the thread


Did you feel like Jesus?
Did you realize
That you were a champion in their eyes?

You just told me that there has been no actual discussion. That's bullshit. A civilian nutella does not struggle to form some perspectives in a Day 0 that has already amassed 260 posts.

I have almost 70 posts and have dedicated a number of them to attacking you. Take a stance.

I have taken stances. Nova town. Speed bad (not sure if I still think that). Add to that you are town, juliets, luna, and mac are on notice. Call that salad, see if I care. I don't even know who all is playing bc the thread has been so lacklustre.


Before the fall when they wrote it on the wall
When there wasn't even any Hollywood
They heard the call
And they wrote it on the wall
For you and me we understood

Also, I'm not limiting myself to only posting in lyrics, I'm just limiting myself by making a little challenge for myself every time I post something which may limit my overall volume of content but I'm still saying stuff. Basically get off my ass


Agents of the law
Luckless pedestrian
I know you're out there
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones
Saying all is forgiven
Mad dog surrender
How can I answer
A man of my mind can do anything
I'm a bookkeeper's son
I don't want to shoot no one
Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive
Got a case of dynamite
I could hold out here all night
Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon
Don't take me alive

Also bc I had a ton of fun with my Beatles curse in GOC trying to choose songs that were relevant to the concepts of my posts lol

Give her some funked up music, she treats you nice
Feed her some hungry reggae, she'll love you twice
The girls don't seem to care tonight

Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
But you wouldn't know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I can't understand
Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
