trentonlf: Intentionally swapping avatars with someone else, IMO, is meant to cause confusion or a laugh.
Yes, it was meant as a joke (coupled with our first posts). We had to time it right, since Pooka kept postponing, and GOG no longer does the changeover at 10 am, but we got it.

I'm in the middle of changing, but you know how GOG works, so you have to be confused a bit longer.

(I've only been in Micro's mind for 1 day and already there are things I wish I could unsee... )

I need to sanitize the gold bars after Micro's done with them.
So not much has happened yet but we have a week to feel things out.

Trent is concerned that ZFR/Microfish changing clothes or avatars may confuse him. Is this genuine or is it an attempt at appearing busy?

And Lift says he can't post. Carradice hasn't posted yet.

"It's PERFECT!" - Pookina

"I can't make an avatar as good as Joe's" - Cristigale

"Once again Joe has elevated the experience of online correspondence for us all. His unique and astounding approach is at once familiar and innovative, and with his latest work he seems to be forcing us to question our stakes in this shared experience: Yes we're playing a game, but is this not, in a way simultaneously very real and intangible, closer to life than breathing, eating, bleeding? These pieces caress our senses and cry out demanding an answer to these, sometimes disturbing, questions." - Flubbucket

Eh, the funniest part is that i failed to remember that bit when I made my post that you quote. :DDDDD

at everyone--KFR and I have changed our avatars so we are no longer using each other's avatar. Yes, we cooked it up as a humdinger of a joke pre-game via PM (with the plan "to do it the next game in which we were both playing" dating back to before I signed up), and since y'all are expressing dislike, we have each changed again to something else. Apologies to anyone who was bothered.

Call it whatever you like, of course! :D, but it was intended as a male dragon dripping green goo, and was made by a friend on discord in a server where my nickname is "dragonfish the bard" (thus the ruffled collar because of the bard bit). the green drops of liquid refer to a time when my entire avatar was that shade of green. I had swapped to the dragon avatar when this game was announced. I had misunderstood ZFR's initial question via PM about trading avatars as instead being "please change your avatar", so i did, away from the uniform stripes. Instead, he had actually suggested that we trade avatars for the beginning of the game and make our initial posts as if we were each other. The bit about swapping shirts was just banter.

gogtrial34987: Are you scumbuddies with Joe and trying to deflect attention away from the subject at hand?
If so, don't you know that Joe has nerves of titanium-alloy, and the endurance of a cybernetic albatross, and can withstand up to 48 hours of constant HSL-level questioning without breaking a sweat?
Thank you for the testimonial, I shall have to remember to look for it on the next bottle of Mr. Joe Multi-Vitamins ("So you too can be like JoeSapphire!") that I purchase! Obviously, it is isn't there, the bottle is a fraud.

Seriously, are you trying to buddy up to Joe?

trentonlf: snip
we contrived it when the signup thread opened, but delayed until just before or when the game thread opened in order to maximize efficacy of the joke.
In any event, we never intended to cause anything other than a laugh, and I won't use your avatar, though I might ask for the picture for a wallpaper if you don't mind and have it in a high resolution.

I did nothing with them! i just used them as a plate, framed and hung them on the wall, admired them, and tried to trade them for a gold epaulet. However, there were no takers. Take them back whenever you want.

Also, can I hang-glide over the Antarctica to hunt hippos?

ZFR: Hello.

Is it time for me to claim?

I claim: TOWN.

I wanted to be scum, but I was selected Town *again* :(
Hmm. This is suspicious. If you were Town, you wouldn't feel the need to claim Town in such a fashion.

Also your Gold-Avatar switcheroo is really confusing. Confusion only serves scum!

Oh, and I'm back! I was hiking in the black forest. It was very nice in spite of the mediocre weather.

FlockeSchnee: You like the really early hunt? Or are you just putting extra effort in early game to get pegged as town?
I'm mostly trying to get things moving out of RVS. It's not hunting per se, as I don't believe I'll actually hit anything - but if you apply enough force, things tend to start rolling eventually. The earlier that happens, the more time we have to dig in, and the better it's for town.
As for me getting pegged as town: The one time I was actually given an anti-town role, I was considered (one of) the towniest player(s) in game, same as all the times I've actually been town.

Have you seen any correlations between the "often" times he's done this, and his alignment in those games?

Why not?

Microfish_1: Seriously, are you trying to buddy up to Joe?
I've been bestest buddies with Joe since the game I just mentioned to Flocke, so no need for more buddying. Mostly trying to gauge his reactions - I like the way that something like #75 shook out as a result.
Also, I was expecting a reaction from dedo to my Joe-praise, which hasn't shown up. I don't think its absence is significant, but its presence might've been.

whups, sorry. My bad.

i see, i think. I have wanted to read that game, maybe sometime i shall. Thank you.

What do you think of Joe's response (75)? is he trying to throw suspicion off of him by posting his "as-they-happened" thoughts?

Going Babbage sounds like "going postal". Except I guess you vent your frustration by building a mechanical calculator?

=======================================

gogtrial34987: When you say "Maybe it is", how do you mean that exactly? Do you think it's (possibly) out of character for Joe? If it is, what does that tell you?
That was just me musing and posting to post.....there's not much for me(or perhaps anyone else) to analyze yet anyways, as is usually the case for a good number of early D1s.

Dunno about joe or anything else atm, for the most part.....though some things have stood out to me......like our two avatar swapping players and SMFP the "new" player being "new" and all(though both things by the 3 players seem mostly NAI to me atm).

Do you think so little of his skills that you felt the need to step in there?
Read the above bits I wrote one more time(as the same applies here). :)

(That bit I wrote about the queen, btw, was more musing and flavor added to make the game more fun for all....in case you were genuinely curious)

Made me read.

Funny thing. You know how sometimes you go "that thing was 5 years ago??? It feels like only yesterday."? I got the exact opposite feeling. That first game I hosted feels ages ago, yet looking at the date it was autumn 2018. Less than 2 years ago - barely a year and a half. Interesting.

It was a pretty good joke. Worth it just for the split second I thought ZFR was saying "ROFL!!!!!"

Well the Harry Potter game when I was a serial killer and he was town I kept him alive because I thought he had my back (and he ended up turning on me...) the game after that he was mafia and I was town but I can't say for certain I recall him doing it - I died Night One and don't remember the game that well.

How do you mean about SMFP, sorry? That he's pretending to be a new player? Or what?

Noticing the Queen's building frustration Abd-allah scans the group for someone who seems easy to pick on. Noticing that the poet has said nothing but whisper verses to himself, he swaggers up to Ahmad, puffs out his chest in an attempt at intimidation, and speaks down his nose at him.
"And what do you have to say for yourself, eh? Our Queen is of so little importance to you that you cannot take your head out of the clouds and give her your attention, is that it?"
