[newlydead r3] day 8 - spades

[ibedeadpeople]

[The morning after the battle of the bands is a little more subdued for team spades; no Ene, no breakfast, there is at least one (live) chicken]

...What were you guys thinking about that hotel pass thing?

Comments

[jinglebros]

Hotel pass is vicious. People do a lot of crap for it that really fucks you up.

[ibedeadpeople]

So you have an idea of what sorts of things they're looking for. You can only bid if you got 0 votes, right? And there aren't so many people that did this time... Maybe we can game the system.

[jinglebros]

I don't know if we want to be vicious enough for it.

[ibedeadpeople]

Does it really have to be vicious? I mean...if everyone bids something like...an egg, or like...shake up all the sodas so that they explode in someone's face when they try to open it...then even the worst thing that could happen isn't so bad. Right?

[jinglebros]

They tried that last time. Everyone claimed they were going to bid fingerguns. But then someone bid they were going to poison the bar instead. They took advantage of the fact nobody else was being serious.

[ibedeadpeople]

Just because something didn't happen one time doesn't mean it can never happen. It's still worth giving it a shot.

[jinglebros]

I'm just speaking from experience of having had to go through bidding on something like that. It's fucking hardcore.

[ibedeadpeople]

Lucky for you, you don't have to go through it again. But Aqua and Ev do...or at least, can if they want. It made sense to me to bring it up, so we can all know what to expect.

[jinglebros]

That's why I'm trying to tell you what it's like, so you know what to expect.

[ibedeadpeople]

It sounds more like you're trying to discourage anyone from trying anything at all without offering any better ideas.

[jinglebros]

Well, I'm not trying to sound like that, so I'll just let it be.

[ibedeadpeople]

[gives a short nod, crossing her arms]

...Besides, it's just Aqua, Ev, Shintaro, and that Allen guy, right?

[locktouching]

Do we need to arrange votes within our group? Because I was thinking of asking Odin to trade with me.

[jinglebros]

If you go outside the group, someone else has to too. So you can, but that means we have three people we're unsure about. Unless someone's already found an outside vote?

[locktouching]

Three people can cover each other. They just have to vote in a circle.

I don't mind that much either way, I suppose Odin is safe with Azura now. Maybe I can trade with... Maya? If we're voting within the group.

[He hasn't really spoken with Battler yet, oops.]

[jinglebros]

[ aoi made a math screwup? and a simple one? he's going to have to sit down and look horrified. ]

I'll go with Battler if he's okay with that.

lol if that's ooc we can pretend it didn't happen

[locktouching]

Maya has plans. Guess I'm asking Odin.

this is why math geniuses shouldnt be played by mandy

[jinglebros]

Ene would be so mad at us for all this outsourcing.

Guess it doesn't matter now.

[ibedeadpeople]

Rohan asked me to trade with him, but we can work out a round as well? What are Battler and Aoi doing?

[locktouching]

That's a problem, Aoi and I can't do any kind of voting with each other because we did last round. And I got myself onto Rohan's bad side.

...I'll ask Odin......

[ibedeadpeople]

Just what did you do? Rohan's generally pretty friendly...

[...]

[locktouching]

I bullied him in the first event in order to get my "find someone you don't like" points and fill my card. The amount of votes I wound up with made it worthwhile, but he's been giving me odd looks ever since.

[ibedeadpeople]

Oh, I'm pretty sure that just means he likes you! Some people just aren't all that great at showing their true feelings, after all.
