Ded Thred. Sorry you're here.

@Kat
@Christina
@VashTheStampede

You all have access here for this game. There IS a courier. So @Jawneh is here tonight. So no spoilers if possible!

 

[finlandguy]

Whee.

Well I gotta pay to get those out anyhow... in the meanwhile I can post cat pics!


Actual new ones next visit. I haven't snapped any in the past little while. Maybe I'll find them when I get home today.

 

[Christina]

Greetings to future dead people. Here are the Polvorones cookies my daughter and I made for her presentation on Spanish Christmas. Enjoy!

This was by far the weirdest cookie recipe I've ever made.

 

[finlandguy]

Ohh! Those look interesting. What's their consistency? Soft, crunchy, chalky? I can't tell.

 

[Christina]

They are supposed to be a crumply cookie. They are missing the powdered sugar that goes on the top. The dough is made out of toasted flour(didn't know this was a thing one could do)and toasted almond flour. Lard. Powdered sugar and cinnamon. They smell really good. Kind of like breakfast cereal.

 

[finlandguy]

Hmm... maybe I need to grab some of these pictures you post and forward them to my wife. She likes cooking and baking new things but tends to find it a bit hard to choose what to try.

Polvorones eh. Maybe soon in my future.

Mantecados and Polvorones: Typical Spanish Christmas Cookies Recipe

Soft and crumbly, mantecados and polvorones are the most popular Christmas cookies here in Spain. Learn how to make them at home with this recipe.

thethingswellmake.com

This is the site I used. It has a how to video too, which helped a lot.

 

[Kat]

Hmm idk about those cookies. How'd they taste?

 

[Christina]

I haven't tried one yet. It smells like a cinnamon cereal to me. Doesn't smell bad but definitely not anything like cookies we have here. Maybe the closest would be a snickerdoodle but with lard instead of better. Honestly, I'm thinking they are going to taste more like a cinnamon pie crust.

 

[finlandguy]

I was kind of thinking maybe a snickerdoodle from your description. We do like the Christmassy cinnamon smell so maybe I can use that to my advantage.

 

[Jon]

Jawneh is going to use his resources to bring that recipe to the live chat. I can see it now.

 

[finlandguy]

It's the right thing to do! I'll take out the corpo by creating a new coupon of my own using ethically procured cookie recipes beyond the grave!

 

[Jon]

Listen, i like the idea that a courier is the "talk to the dead" role in my game. It feels unique.

Maybe I'll alter the role next game to be one that can take a dead body back with it in a shipping container and revives the player too.

"Hey guys, look who I found! Guess they weren't dead after all!"

 

[finlandguy]

Look who I turned into an android! Wow! That'll be 10 resources please.

 

[Christina]

Ok I tried the cookies. They crumble into your mouth and almost disappear. They are sweet with a nutty cinnamon flavor. 8/10. Not bad.

 

[Mark]

“Christina’s Cookie Corpo” can be written into @Jon’s storyline. No doubt in his ability to include it. Hell, we can break the 4th wall and have members subscribe to your baking endeavors.

"It's the future and cookies are now illegal. Cookie Smugglers are now in control of the streets."

 

[Mark]

It’s a shame you even have to ask. What’d you do to get the Rodney Dangerfield treatment?

 

[VashTheStampede]

It’s a shame you even have to ask. What’d you do to get the Rodney Dangerfield treatment?

It's the lack of a response I find most alarming.

 

[Mark]

It's the lack of a response I find most alarming.

She’s frantically running to y’all’s kid’s school to mug some child of a cookie for you.

 

[Christina]

You know it was a crazy morning.....and I'm dumb.

 

[Mark]

Good job, @Jon … you fuckin’ ruined a marriage.

 

[VashTheStampede]

You know it was a crazy morning.....and I'm dumb.

This is why she won't play Wolf when I do. I cold read that lack of cookie based on response time.

 

[Mark]

Look, I don’t like to get in the middle of personal issues, but if your lawyer needs dead forum access to collect evidence for your pain and suffering case, I’ll have to oblige. Sorry, Christina. We don’t condone negligence here… I can’t be cool with you just starving that man like that.

 

[Christina]

I also forgot to make his sandwich for his lunch....

[VashTheStampede]

All I can do is put on a brave face and try and move forward.

 

[Christina]

And go to McDonald's across the parking lot. I wonder if they have the Adult Happy Meal with the McNugget Buddies?

 

[Jon]

Good job, @Jon … you fuckin’ ruined a marriage.

Shit, how did I get dragged into this!? I have enough of my own marriage issues... I didn't marry a gamer... I can't be counted on as a therapist!

 

[Mark]

It’s okay, buddy, you’re among friends and a completely unstable support system here. We’ll help you get through this.

I don’t know what to tell you, brother, the fuckin’ therapist that came here before got chased off before you got here… so we gotta do what we gotta do to get by.

 

[Zell 17]

Bitches

 

[Mark]

Bitches

Mornin’ to you, too, sunshine.

 

[Jon]

So... @Jawneh
Good news and bad news....

Bad news is you were infected and killed by the corpo last night... you were a popular man.

Good news, we don't have to revoke your access to the forum and @Zell 17 is here with you guys too!

 

[VashTheStampede]

Bad news, no more cookies

 

[Zell 17]

Bad news, no more cookies

For that you get the red thumb of doom

 

[VashTheStampede]

Man I didn't get any either

 

[Jon]

Good news... I incorporated Christina's cookies into the game and they are now canon lore

 

[Jon]

I love Kelly. Tells me he's going to be mostly busy and maybe not able to do much and then drops the major info bomb every one else seemed to miss.... lol

 

[Zell 17]

Kelly is very good at this game. I don't know why people don't follow him basically immediately.

 

[Jon]

Kelly is very good at this game. I don't know why people don't follow him basically immediately.

My guess? It's just how overtly pushy he can come off.

The first game I played was when I was a wolf and he came out like hellfire demanding role claims. I LOVED watching him work. But THAT game... I felt smothered. As a wolf, it did what he wanted... but as a townie, I'd have been pushed away.

Also... I don't know if I'm happy or sad you're in here Zell.

 

[Jon]

I feel like a proud papa watching people use roles and identifying things I wanted them to within the roles.

 

[Zell 17]

Can there be multiple of the same roles? Because if not I would be pushing hard for everyone to claim a role and solve the game day 1.

 

[Jon]

There can be, but RNG did not allow it this particular game.

 

[finlandguy]

Kelly is very good at this game. I don't know why people don't follow him basically immediately.

We've seen that and have to take a step back in case he's taking us out back.

And at least personally I tend to figure out his game by day 2. So no rush being too trusty.

 

[finlandguy]

Uh oh, the fixer hack was discovered.

 

[Jon]

Yup... the SECOND Kelly asked the question I said "I can lie, or I can let it go and fix after."

I chose the latter. Mainly because the Genetic Engineer is STUPID overpowered and if they don't have a way to identify and counter that this could become Hiroshima or Nagasaki.

So, yeah, that's two roles already on my list to fix.

 

[Jon]

Corpo doing a great job of covering for me accidentally, ngl.
