Or if he hid behind scum, he would die.
But if he hid behind town and HE was targeted by scum, he would live. Likewise any other powers targeting him directly would fail.

And yeah, he did clear it up, so pardon me doing the redun-dance earlier. But
I think I'm right to be positive on Archangel in light of all this. Seems like a sincere enough effort to suss things out.

And then we get to
Meeko's battery of posts.
Which I felt my heart drop reading, for
several different reasons.
OOG :: I must absolutely, positively level with you here @Meeko.
Not a single thing I say in this indent will be fake, cap, bullshit, hogwash, or hot-chip-eating lies. I promise you.
You are absolutely valid, first of all. And I can tell you have a good heart. (the real you, of course, not the tangentially related character you have to play in an IM/UR game.)
It is never too late to start asking the important questions. It is never too late to stop blaming yourself for being stunted by those who've had power over you, and aimed to keep you small.
Nobody should be able to define you except YOU. If someone can't parse the fact that your body and your identity are yours to shape however you wish, that is THEIR problem, and it is absolutely unconscionable and disgusting that a minority of reactionary fuckheads are intent on making it everyone else's problem.
I do like you, and have enjoyed playing with you so far.
I have the utmost respect and sympathy for what you're going through, b/c I'm going through it too.
I feel the hopelessness, the rage, the apathy, the feeling of being lost and alone with a violent storm rolling over the horizon.
I understand completely how this comparatively trivial and silly role-playing guessing game can look in the face of all that. How you could think this is a dumb-ass waste of time that gets you no closer to shelter or peace, and how it could even get in the way of that.
At the very least, I think it's very visible how much of a slog this game has become for me.
But look what I've been able to do in spite of that.
And look at
what you're doing in this post.
I can 100% understand being wary of being pocketed, and/or wanting to question a core read of yours, because shit has visibly gone pear-shaped for town. This is a button you should
always be willing to press in this situation.
I can 100% understand how, based on a sound reevaluation, you can later decide that Vanta Black left a crumb that spews me wolf, and therefore it's optimal play to get me dead immediately.
But when I ask for clarity on the re-evaluation, the core of this read change, and you give me nothing but mud in response, that's a problem.
And it's baffling, b/c you acknowledge that this is mostly your baggage. You acknowlege that "this is not how things work", so I assume you're familiar with
gambler's fallacy.
And yet.
AND YET.
You claim the core of your flip onto me is, and I quote:
With all due respect, this is not a sound re-evaluation. This is utter fantasyland nonsense.
If you were not in any condition to actually articulate your reasoning,
fine. But if you're town, I was hoping you'd
at least be honest about that. You'd have said "nope, rational brain gone fishin', try again later."
But you didn't. And with your latest posts pushing for my death literally as hard as possible based on this, allowing no mercy and no quarter...it's just plain bad, hun. There's no other way to slice it.
Which, as painful as this is to admit, tells me your IM/UR alter-ego is probably not living in the realm of truth. Not this game. Vegas!Meeko does not have solid ground to stand on.

I guess the
process looks pretty good here. Honestly I am really drained after that last response. But goddammit, I'm committed to see this through now, at least until BC posts a bunch later.
NETA :: And maybe to respond to the latest menchie.

Does anyone have the link to our playgroup's spreadsheet? Gender is advised on that, and I feel as if Kai would like to see it. Possibly fill it out emself

Trust me, I can piss in my own oatmeal just fine.
I mentioned making a cold sheet earlier as an idle suggestion. I do not have the wherewithal to make one nor do I know the site policy on linking to changeable media like Gdocs.(nudge nudge @
Eristic Widgeon). Maybe tomorrow.
