what do u like about allison? not attacking u or anything she's just always fell flat to me and im open to enlightenment

shes funny to me :) i like that she's catty and entitled and insufferable, but that there are moments where it slips (namely grieving seth, but also offering herself up to be a confidante to neil, crumpling into renee after andrew hurts her) and we get to see that she's terrified of herself And others and that money could not buy her a sense of self nor a reasonable emotional framework. there are also small things about her that i just find endearing, like the few times where her and matt act like siblings (when the foxes get rained on and matt takes a picture of her looking soaked, much to her horror, and when jeremy shows the foxes his game plan for the semi finals and allison tugs incessantly at matts sleeve to let her see it) and her horrible betting problem, the way she knew neil caused seth's death but also knew she couldn't live her whole life with that grudge, her gossip habits, the way she desperately wants to fix everything with money (taking the foxes out to the cabins after neil got kidnapped always seemed like such an obvious attempt to soothe the team to me, but allison was not raised on affection and the only way she can conceive it is through what she can offer them in monetary terms + i'm reminded of the bit in the ec that allison keeps a trustfund for the foxes' children and that she pays for renee's child's medical bills) etc!

i do mean it when i say that allison and kevin are not all that different, and they have a very similar understanding (or lack thereof) of the way relationships work, but allison can be such a steorotype sometimes it's hard to allow ourselves to see her as anything but a tall hot glass of skank, whereas we naturally give kevin more nuance and space for humanity because we are taught to believe men are more capable of complexity than women. one of my favorite allison is kevin in a wig moments is the fact that allison's goal with seth ('to make a real man out of him', to give him something to live for, to make him want to achieve it) is exactly the same as kevin's goal with andrew

can you spend your entire time in a straight jacket besides going to the bathroom and eating? Also could you where is spit heard for entire day

One of the things that is difficult with our role play is keeping it focused on the jail theme. It certainly has strong overtones of bondage (spit hoods and straight jackets), and we do use them as a part of roleplay.

The biggest problem is that you are playing with others who will likely have a different jail fantasy. Unless you are paying for the whole jail ($400 a day x 3 (our standard number of inmates)) and are there alone, there are other players. Having an inmate wear a spit hood and straight jacket for days would not happen in a jail.

The other issue is staffing. We have 2 or 3 guards working 24 / 7 to interact with you and others. If you are wearing a spit hood and straight jacket, you have to be monitored, at least audibly, at all times. You also have to be released to use the bathroom, to eat and to regain circulation. That would mean assigning one guard to your care.

Most of the inmates who end up in straight jackets or spit hoods only tolerate it for a few hours. Then they are wanting to do something else!

Finally, I think you would get very bored after a few hours. There is so much to experience at the jail, you would be cheating yourself!

Question about Role Play and Spit Hood Use

i love hearing my friends talk abt games i dont have any idea how they work

you: [talking abt heals, tanks, damage, columns n shit]

me: i like your funny words magic man!

HELLLLP SO BASICALLY RIGHT

a normal team at the moment consists of five members and you separate them as: 1 tank (loads of health, meant to be dealing and taking the most damage and getting the most kills), 2 supports (the healers of the team who's main goal is to keep everyone alive. can also do damage and kill but their whole point is healing) and 2 damages (have the same health as supports aka much less than a tank, whole point of them is mainly to target enemy supports so that the tank players can then kill the enemy tank without them being healed repeatedly).

supports obviously can do more than a tank or damage as they also will have abilities to heal. when you look at the leader board of a game (what that picture is a screenshot of) there two sections to it; one thats a ratio labelled E:A:D which stands for Eliminations : Assists : Deaths aka how many kills you have to assists to how many times you've died. The other half is pure stats. It tells you how much damage you've done to the enemies, how much damage you've healed and then how much damage you've mitigated aka how much you've blocked with a shield (some heroes have shields they can either hold or place down).

One of my toxic traits as a superhero fan is when adaptations make the villain connected to the hero’s origin I sometimes like it and sometimes don’t and either way I usually have no specific reasoning for my opinion other than Vibes.

I still have a really big soft spot for ESO's class design tbh, I think having to realistically make every spec able to perform every MMO role while also having to make every one of those classes feel noticeably unique and different even in the same role was a really fun design decision

About to head to bed, but I see what you did Nick, naming him Ayden aka Aiden aka Aodhán. Well played.

aLSO before i forget ... i think i've made a similar post before about how charles' position as 'the brawn' is a bit of a misnomer and he's more of the protector more than anything, but i think the best way of explaining it is that he's more of the tank. he puts himself in the direction of blows because he knows he can take them, and he can deal damage in return if he needs to

Imagine you're inside a RPG game (medieval-like)

I already say sorry, please don't take it too personal, take it easy, there are almost infinite classes and maybe some of them up here are a bit generic, but you can always choose the last option and specify your idea clearly, just have fun.

Also I would like to make other polls in this style, like to build the perfect RPG character with your most chosen answers from all of these polls at the end, it could be cool!

Feel free to suggest any poll you would like to see via chat or comment or ask :)

the sword and shield part of the prophecy is soooo vague that i’ll rotate every possible theory inside my silly little head and then go “or it could be smth else”. absolute net zero conclusions reached but i had fun.

I have no desire to put this person on blast but my god it really shows when people didn’t play high elo overwatch pre role lock (not to mention how hard it was to have a completely stagnant meta for pro teams who weren’t the kings of it like titans and shock, which I wouldn’t bring up unless this person wasn’t mainly talking about OWL, which they were)
