[locked] anon post: user name @bbboxer

[bananaclip]

I've been here a little while and I've read back a lot of the stuff on the network.

Some of you are smart enough that you'll figure out who I am immediately but, I have to ask — really? Really??

You get on this network and you talk about your old lives like no one you know from back where you came from is going to show up and ruin everything for you.

And you talk like you don’t expect these Jorgmund people to hold some of that stuff over your head, either.

I’m sorry, but I’m a lot more private than that. You know? I’m smarter than that. I’m not willing to ruin everything by talking too much.

PS – Anyone who guesses who I am gets one of those shitty beers from the cafeteria dumped over their head. Mind your business.

[All that Price sees in this post is obnoxious attention seeking. He's tempted to ask who this is, or to say 'welcome to the Rig' and then block them, but it's not worth it. He gives a passive aggressive like to the post and takes it away immediately.]

You say that like our shit’s not already ruined.

I agree with you, but lay off or own it.

still anon

[bananaclip]

Maybe after I get more used to things here. For now I'm not willing.

For the latter point, I mean.

We get it, you think you're smarter than everyone else. Join the rest of the jerks who think the same thing.

still anon

[bananaclip]

I don't intend to.

[heterochrocatic]

So are you going to do anything useful besides tell the rest of us we're wrong and you're right?
Or is this just wasting both our time?

[71lines]

You're pretty obviously new, so we just have to do a looksee for obnoxious new people, right?

What is it with people lately and acting like they know everything just because they read back a bit? "They'll threaten your family!" It's almost as if they think Jorgmund would last long enough for me to finish typing this sentence if they tried to threaten me through Master Guy.

[bananaclip]

Depends on what everyone else is doing about being stuck here with Jorg in charge.

I won't know that until I can get to know people more in person.

[zerofield]

There's little my enemies from back home don't already know about me, so that's not really an issue.

[bananaclip]

I don't know who you have at home but I tried to kill someone who, as far as we could tell, was the literal embodiment of evil.

If that person shows up I'm going to do everything I can to protect all of you, because I think you are all worth a lot more than him.

I also don't think I can.

I feel like you took this the opposite of how I meant it.

[heterochrocatic]

Good luck! Won't be easy if you don't tell people anything about yourself though.

still anon

[bananaclip]

Unfortunately? Me, too.

[bananaclip]

I'm pretty friendly in person, don't worry.

I'm mostly pissed off at Jorg right now.

[zerofield]

I can understand paranoia, honestly. Even if I don't have much energy for it myself.

[bananaclip]

I have to be paranoid. My enemy from back home is something like the devil incarnate.

[zerofield]

Fair. I'm not used to hearing "devil" used so singularly; according to the Septian Church we just have a number of devils. But the idea of one that can have such a distinction paints a picture.

[bananaclip]

I don't know if my world has one or many. To my thinking it doesn't really matter.

[zerofield]

Also fair. I've paid little attention to church doctrine since I was much younger.

[prairietroubador]

Okay, so you tried to kill a literal embodiment of evil and you think that's impressive. I'm not even going to gainsay that, it kind of is. But I know a guy who punched one through a skyscraper.

So maybe just hold off a sec on thinking you know better than us. Trust me, some of us experience with this kind of thing.

[71lines]

Maybe I did. Sorry, sleep's been short these days. I'm crankier than I should be.

People seem quite free with their stories here. I imagine they have their reasons. Mine is that the broad arc of my life is very widely known by my people, and even moreso by their enemies. If I have something more intimate to disclose, I do it by some other channel. It wouldn't surprise me to find I'm not alone.

[wheyoftheadept]

so then like why did you even post this.

im genuinely curious you do know chatting here is totally optional and if the risk/benefit analysis doesn't come out right for you no one's gonna make you shitpost.

[heterochrocatic]

Aren't we all?

[credit_not_blame]

Is this a rhetorical question, or do you actually want an answer? I need to know before I waste my time responding.

[fuckcable]

Don’t be surprised if nobody wants to trust you.

You saw the welcome committee. They’ve got stuff on us and in us. We need space to breathe, and they want to see we’re using these things like good little proles.
