Vanilla Mafia - [MELTED]

[Quin]

i bought vanilla ice cream in solidarity of this game

[sabie12]

Yeah fun post Colin.

(I didn't read it)

TLDR? Haha I finally just read the whole thing.
I think as of right now we're just missing 2 people to check in.

[reywaS]

Laugh it up, fuzzball. It at least gives us more time to reflect on things, rather than living in the perpetual madness of a 24/24 setup. There will always be crazy EOD shenanigans but 48 hours gives us a longer buffer between the cray-cray. I need less cray-cray in my life. I’ll use the extra time wisely even if others don’t.

I just wanna feel liberated, I-I, na-na-na

Let’s hope I don’t implode from playing two games at once because I’m a monkey brained fool.

Also Texas

Pre-emptive excuse for lack of participation. This man puts flavorful toppings on his ice cream.

Ice cream is a delicate thing that shouldn’t be blasphemies by toppings

The only acceptable one it a shake with oreos

I doubling down on the jokes, I see.

[nutella]

I love and support all ice cream.

[Sloonei]

Where do you stand on frozen yogurt?

[nutella]

Love it. Toppings too.

And taro is the best flavor fight me.

I just drove straight through from Waco Texas to Cincinnati. I’m tired. I can’t look at the game until tomorrow, I apologize guys.

You’re either using the informal sense of the word or you’re lying. Either way, not a good look.

[VOTE: g-man] aubergine That is bullshit and you know it

[Sloonei]

Why is the informal sense of 'literally' a bad look for me?

[nutella]

Mister "I-read-the-entire-dictionary" over here calling someone out for using a sense of a word that is literally in the dictionary. How much faker can it get??

LOL, I was busting his balls after all the over-analyzing he did at the beginning of A World Asunder. I was fishing for a reaction out of Sloonei but you gave me something even better to analyze.

So, would baddie nutella:

A) try to capitalize on the first person to throw shade for flimsy reasons in an attempt to start an early mislynch train?

B) attempt to buddy an oftentimes supertown Sloonei to get in his good graces while also setting him up to look bad if she were to flip mafia based on her swift rush to defend him?

C) both A and B?


Would civvie nutella:

A) be prone to such a swift overreaction to a fishing attempt (that didn’t even result in a vote) based on her background in linguistics?

B) have a cooler, more level-headed approach to Day 1?

[sabie12]

I can't taste ice cream anymore which kinda sucks. I still have the memories of what it tastes like kinda.

[G-Man]

Lest I be accused of unfairness, let’s add an option D under the baddie nutella options:

D) have a cooler, more level-headed approach to Day 1?

Do you think I'm overreacting? I spotted what I determined to be a fake opinion and called it out. Turns out it was intentionally fake. So I wasn't entirely wrong, but I do tend to trust my first instincts and respond accordingly, then allow room to reevaluate.


And no, I'm not bad nor trying to buddy sloonei. I think he has made a decent entrance but I am not giving him any kind of pass.

[nutella]

When was the last time you saw me play with a "level-headed" approach lol

[nutella]

Would baddie g-man go fishing and then immediately compose a thorough-looking analysis of the first person to react? I could believe so.

Gross.

I don't think [mention]MafiaMenace[/mention] has checked in but has [mention]WaywardSon[/mention] explained his vote?

I could also see a civilian G-man doing this.

My only regret is that I got scooped on the opportunity to fuss about someone's misuse of the word "literally."

noun: bullshit

stupid or untrue talk or writing; nonsense.

verb
verb: bullshit; 3rd person present: bullshits; past tense: bullshitted; past participle: bullshitted; gerund or present participle: bullshitting

talk nonsense to (someone), typically to be misleading or deceptive.

I'm struggling with this.

What part of the post is bullshit? Is it the quoting of the dictionary, the "either or statement," or G-Man's assessment of the latter?

From what I can tell, none of that can qualify as bullshit.

I mean, if I were a lie detector, which of those statements could I possibly check?

The last sentence. How is it "not a good look" if he is just using it informally?

People are using the word "literally" to mean the exact opposite of what it means when we have plenty of other words in our vocabulary to serve as an intensifier. "Fucking" works well, I think.

And that's why it's a bad look. When people tell me their heads literally exploded, I look at them badly.

I don't give a shit about your fucking outdated prescriptivism. There's no reason G-man would have for that being a bad look (except that he was just making up an opinion to fish for reactions).

Number one: Punctuation is your friend (although maybe not, since you probably told the semicolon it had "old ass tits").

Number two: People decidedly do not communicate effectively. That's one reason I have a job.

Dude I love semicolons when I'm writing something formal but you can't pretend you didn't understand me there. And yes people understand from context when "literally" isn't literal.

I have played Several places. Back playing after 10 years away. And to win.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Improper usage of the word "literally" is literally the point of that tendency. I won't say that it is a clever or interesting thing for people to do so, but to render *corrections* is to miss the social queues underlying the trend. The appeal is drawn from that inaccuracy: even when something is not a literal truth, proclaiming that it is a literal truth anyway adds emphasis and levity.

sprityo is bad. I'll see you gang tomorrow.
