Ugh, seriously having a talk with my wife about the need to put down our first pet rat. She's the first pet I owned as an adult. She's the one that made my wife fall in love with rats.
If the medication isn't helping her, then we'll have to make the appointment. Sad days.
For those wondering, I passed my driving theory. Now I can drive to my theoretical friends house.
In theory, yes.
Better get some practice.
One time when I was in film history class, I stated that I didn't like musicals, and some girl got incredibly passionate about it. #UninterestingMomentsSeprix2016
I hate it when it's a close game, but my opponent resigns just because I can probably win next turn. Though it's understandable if it's the kind of game where the turns take a long time.
Tomorrow I'm doing my driving theory test. Just to bring people outside the UK up to speed on how that works, it's a 50 multiple choice question test and you have to get 43 correct to pass. Then there's a hazard perception test where you basically have to watch 14 videos and identify the hazard in each as quickly as possible.
But mostly I want to focus on how weird the multiple choice part is. You get these questions which are literally just basic reasoning and deduction based on the options, and then you get questions about hand signals that nobody actually seems to know (seriously, I've asked a few friends that are drivers and they're always unsure exactly what each one is) that you're meant to use when your indicators aren't working (or whatever), and there's usually multiple reasonable options for them. So about 70% of the questions you can easily blag through without any driving knowledge whatsoever, and then 30% are just learning these answers.
It'd be like having a test that looks a bit like this, if there was a Hyrule Warriors theory test to pass:
Q1: You have enemies approaching from behind, as well as from the front. You should:
a) Ignore the enemies behind you and attack the ones ahead.
b) Ignore the enemies ahead of you, turn and attack the ones behind
c) Dodge towards the side to group the enemies together, and avoid getting flanked
d) Give up and restart the mission
Q2: Which of these weapons does not have a C6?
a) Goddess Harp
b) Horse
c) Scimitars
d) Zora Scale
Most questions on the driving theory look like question 1. I'm sure even if you've never played the game (or even know what genre it is) you can answer question 1 correctly, but question 2, you just look at and guess randomly. Maybe in context you'd be able to eliminate one or two options (e.g. if I'm signalling to turn left, I'm definitely not holding my hand straight out to the right), but yeah, they're kinda like that.
"The goal is important" != "The goal is the only important thing"
But it is pretty much the only important thing as far as the game is concerned. If you're not trying to win, you're not playing the game. It's fine to like things other than playing games, but I wouldn't be surprised when it turned out that a lot of people who like games actually like playing the games too.
Nobody in this thread is talking about not trying to win.
Ugh. There should not bethis much resistance tothe Hydrad lynch.
Hydrad wagon should move to seprixDid I completely miss something about Seprix? Why does everyone want to lynch him?
I don't want to lynch Seprix. I think he's actually doing a superb job of moving the game forward and getting reactions out of people.
Liopoil claim this: are you a VT?We should just lynch RR I think.
Unfortunately, it probably won't happen.
Um. ?
Liopoil you should claim if you think if would benefit town more than scum.Liopoil you should claim if you think if would benefit town more than scum.Liopoil you should claim if you think if would benefit town more than scum.Liopoil you should claim if you think if would benefit town more than scum.Nope, my claim benefits scum more
UNVOTE
PPE: ...I hope to god that wasn't the hammer...
Dice mafia I invented a role from left field, conpletely fabricated
Clue mafia I counterclaimed town
I'm not scum often, that's all I remember
I'm here. Ready to put my vote somewhere useful.
I'm fine with Hydrad lynch. His lurking this game has been extreme this game, even for him.
PPE: 4
In this case I will lurk in every game from now on, as this benefits my wincon on average with your policy.
Liopoil you should claim.
"The goal is important" != "The goal is the only important thing"
Get your tower out of the clouds, I am not scummy.
Basically it boils down to: you don't get to see your plans come to fruition (or fall apart, or whatever). If winning is the only thing you find fun, then sure, why prolong the game? But I enjoy actually playing the game, and it's not much fun to be cut off, especially mid-turn.
Our "not voting" people need to go somewhereI am fine with you or lio. Said that several times and voted each of you for quite some time today.
My gut says lio at this point, because of the way the wagons worked out for the last 1-2 days before his wagon built up.
He is close enough to be misshammered by accident (as in someone ending the day early by accident), so i will not vote him just yet.
We don't mis-hammer. We might quickhammer, derphammer, or hammer for no apparent reason, but I have never seen someone get accidentally hammered
