Pair Thread Inkling Girl / Inkling Boy Kart

[Natiko]

Welcome to Mario Kart: Double Dash! All rules from the main thread apply here as well.

 

[heymonkey]

TOGETHER FOREVER, VA

 

[Vincent Alexander]

'ello 'ello! I'm feeling good this game! There are a lot of "new" old players that I've never played with, so it's a good thing I don't do meta reads because I'd be lost.

 

[heymonkey]

I'm feeling a little sick today so I probably won't be QUITE as gung ho as usual, but then again, every time I say that I immediately post about 200-eleventy times, so it could be a lie.

But I am definitely going to start looking for town tells immediately.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Get feeling better! I might be driving up north tonight to get to the country and see Jupiter/Saturn, so probably wont' be super active myself.

 

[heymonkey]

eh, it's just medication bullshit, it'll be better if it's better, you know how it goes

that sounds awesome, though!!

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Well, this game went from 0 to 60 in no time with that check on Sin. lol

 

[heymonkey]

More interested in how Faddy's reading it, really.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

More interested in how Faddy's reading it, really.

Yeah...good point. I need Faddy to post more to see if they're being serious or not....Their tone feels more serious than other's reactions. It's something to make a mental note of.

 

[heymonkey]

Not a joke vote on jman. Jman is very subdued while Hawthorn is excited.

Kind of a breadcrumb in the vote post, because I assumed individual chats. Just letting you know in case we need to reference back to it later. I had a shaky beginning and I bet someone is going to scumread us for it later, but really it's just that I feel like ass.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

You're so much better at this than me....lol. I'm hoping this game, especially paired with you, helps me notice the little things. I'm not sure what conclusions to draw from them, but at least noticing them will go a long way, because you're right about Hawthorn and Jman.

One takeaway from my short time with Jman in our Vergil/Dante chat----he was definitely a very paranoid town player. If that paranoia doesn't crop up Day 1 with these jokey/serious claims all over the place then I'm going to be suspicious.

Agreed, I think that's a good take.

and you lie, you are great

We have different approaches but we mesh well. You will help keep me grounded. :)

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I got bored while waiting for work to end at 5:

 

[heymonkey]

oh my GOD I can't tell if that's creepy or adorable

creeporable

 

[heymonkey]

must be a mafia game, I'm already irritated by everything

 

[heymonkey]

hey, geniuses, scum players are typically not among the first, if not the first, to put up reads

but go ahead

YEAH, BELATED WARNING, THIS IS NOW MY CRANK THREAD WHILE VA IS GONE

 

[heymonkey]

MrChuggs

SophiaRAGE

my day one scum team

Hmm, 3 or 4 scum teams? 3 is 20%. 4 seems high.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

OKay, back! Missed a lot of pages already.

So, Terra not backing off of the scan is not what I expected. Something is afoot here. They're being coy about it too...kind of dancing around it.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

And the backtrack...what the hell is this D1. lol

 

[heymonkey]

Yeah, the behavior today was very weird. Salva/nin honestly come out looking best.

 

[heymonkey]

oh, I'm playing D&D tonight with Chuggs (normally Sneeks too) so I'm out for a few hours

how are you feeling about anyone so far?

did you see the planets?

 

[Vincent Alexander]

oh, I'm playing D&D tonight with Chuggs (normally Sneeks too) so I'm out for a few hours

did you see the planets?

Niiice. Never played Dungeons and Dragons. Closest I've gotten is Neverwinter Nights and Divinity Original Sin 2. Is it a game on Steam or do you all just stream?

As for planets---when I was out on my porch during supper, I saw a star bright as hell. We finished eating, then drove about 20 minutes, and found nothing. I looked up online after and realized that the bright star I thought I was seeing was actually Jupiter and Saturn on top of one another. Sadly, my wife and kid missed it, and I didn't even realize what I was seeing to get my telescope out in time. We'll try again tomorrow, though it won't be as bright.

As for folks in our game, I'm reading and catching up now. Just finished a game of Zombicide with the kid. Got sidetracked earlier when catching up!

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Also Faddy rushed to vote, noted.

Strongly agreed, and lines up with your point earlier. Consider Faddy officially on my suspicious list.

 

[heymonkey]

We're playing in the mafia discord! And on Roll20. My husband ran a two-year campaign for MafiEra people and now Stan's running one.

We have Zombicide, too! Not our favorite but it's a decent one for playing with the elder child, yeah.

I hope you see a little more tomorrow, even if it's not as bright.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

There is too much back-and-forth with Chuggs and Geno to quote in here from page 9, but I'm re-reading these interactions to find out if this is town/town or town/mafia. Chuggs seems really annoyed at Geno's gambit. This annoyance also reads genuine. What I can't tell is if I'm reading town frustration or scum frustration....I think I have to put a pin in it for now.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Did it occur to you that maybe I'm trying to see how jman reacts to my posts about him?

It's not about meta.

It's not actually some grand read.

It's me trying to get jman to react so I can read him.

But no, cool, shit in it.

lol......This got me for some reason.

 

[heymonkey]

Hmm. I'll reread and see if I see the frustration. It looked to me like someone trying to make something out of basically nothing.

I really don't understand why everyone is so wrapped up in my attempt to get jman to react. Like it probably wasn't my finest play or anything but am I wrong that jman is reactive???

 

[heymonkey]

lol......This got me for some reason.

i was so irritated ahhhhhh

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I just got to Jman and Chuggs throwing shade on you. I just...I dunno. My radar is pinging like crazy. Chuggs got caught in a shitstorm with Geno, was frustrated and defensive, then started jumping at anything he could to change the topic.

Sawneeks malus LuxCommander Uzzy

what would y’all say if i proposed voting amongst only y’all

Why them

Then same page:

how about all y'all let jman talk to me before you start pressing me on my thoughts

you + everyone else who brought it up

Why

Then later:

Sorian what character are you?I

Dr.Monkey is giving me some weird vibes Her bait was so low quality I am almost insulted.

Yeah I’m actually with Jman here. This feels performative

Like---what? Jman said just about jack shit to even agree with, but Chuggs was quick to nod along as if there was something there. These pages feel like Chuggs trying to jam a 10-foot pole between himself and the previous argument(s) with Geno.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Hmm. I'll reread and see if I see the frustration. It looked to me like someone trying to make something out of basically nothing.

I really don't understand why everyone is so wrapped up in my attempt to get jman to react. Like it probably wasn't my finest play or anything but am I wrong that jman is reactive???

Absolutely agreed. Keep in mind also that you're kickass at town, and scum knows it. If they can find a crack in the armor, they might go for it. Hell, they might get even overstep and get bold if they sense blood in the water. How great would it be to lunch Dr. Monkey instead of having to use a NK there? The more I read Chuggs, the more I think he was trying to hammer at that tiny crack. If Chuggs is town though.....I honestly don't understand what they're seeing and what they're up to.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Jman was definitely known for this reactions and gambits but I will say his last couple of town games (and granted in HvV he subbed in and had to catch up) he's definitely been more subdued. I personally kept waiting for a gambit or aggressive move or something but he just played fairly "standard". Now I don't know if this has been a conscious play style tweak or other explanations but based on recent play I would just be careful in expectations from him.

I don't know if I would call a player subdued who was modkilled then brought back by the merciful God Geno....... But I won't bring that up!

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Sorry---I am quoting and rambling to myself a bunch as I catch up, else I'm afraid I'll lose my thoughts.

 

[heymonkey]

No, that's what this is for! we ramble and think together.

I agree re: Chuggs. He felt like he was scrambling in real time, but it doesn't feel like solving. It feels like jumping full body on things. I want to see some of Hedin.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Congrats man you sound like a really good scum player and monkeys words haven't got to you at all.

I really like ATP sometimes.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

OK. I'm going to step back now and see if things can cool. I don't want to tunnel Chuggs too much, and if I keep posting, I'm afraid I will. I need to let other players post and get a better sense of the larger picture.

 

[heymonkey]

Yeah, I think that's a good idea. If Chuggs is town, people will hang back and let everything blow up around him.

 

[heymonkey]

Sorry, we will probably be done here in an hour-ish. I'm back on p 11 in the thread, not caught up past that but for a couple posts I've read here and there.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

All good. I think I came in and stirred enough shit to fling back at Chuggs for now. Just going to see how it settles now.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I'll be here for a while if anything pops up. Just practicing guitar before bed.

 

[heymonkey]

ATP is talking sense. I hope he's not pocketing but I got town vibes off Ambulance, but it's early.

Sorian is on the sidelines commenting. Unsure how I feel about it.

jman is mad while saying he's not mad.

ATP felt very reserved when we were scum together last time. This ATP feels different and more outspoken so far, so I think I'm feeling good there?

I will never know how to read Sorian.

Accurate reading of Jman.

 

[heymonkey]

I think it takes time with Sorian. I'm going to hold off trying to read there for a bit, at least.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Mornin! Let's see what I missed.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

All caught up. Not much excitement. Feeling any better?

 

[heymonkey]

A little today. We will see.

How much does Chuggs post as scum? He was mad so that fired him to post more but that was a lot.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

A little today. We will see.

How much does Chuggs post as scum? He was mad so that fired him to post more but that was a lot.

I had to go digging to find last time Chuggs was scum. Looks to be Nier Gestalt game, which I wasn't a part of. If I get a chance here, I'll go poke through that game to see their posting style.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

With this pressure, we should be stressed, but I'm actually feeling pretty good....Normally, D1 is full of BS and shenanigans, which makes it easy for scum to vote wherever the hell and play it off as, "I dunno! It's day 1!" There are some lines being drawn in this game though, and it isn't going to be as easy for scum to bullshit their way through some of the hard stances they've taken against us if/when we flip.

 

[heymonkey]

ugh I feel like I'm just dragging you down

this is so dumb, it's SO DUMB and I hate this, every time, a third of the game gets hung up on some constructed idea that I MUST be scum and we do this and I hate it, I'm SO TIRED OF IT.

that's true. that's comforting. you make a very good point.

 

[heymonkey]

I just can't. I read like five posts and I'm just immediately mad.

I don't want to mess you up. We have a cool role and I want to use it and I want to solve. Are you okay with me taking a couple of hours to try to chill out or would you rather I replace out? I've never replaced out. I'd feel doubly bad doing it in a pair game.

We're good. We're good! Remember also what I said last night----you are one of the best mafia players in the community. Scum knows that. They're afraid of you always. Hell, even in the Heroes Vs Villains game that you WEREN'T in I was thinking, "Lord, Dr. Monkey would be calling out some of this bullshit and would have solved me days ago." Therefore, scum is going to do what they can to frustrate you, and if they can, lunch you early. Don't give them the satisfaction!

Now if you want to sub out, I'll never hold it against you at all. I mean, I'd be sad, I'd miss you, probably cry a little, but whatever! But truly---and I mean this---I am not here to win so much as to just have a good time. Don't feel like you're dragging me down ever, because as long as I'm in here with you chattin', and we're playing mafia, I'm having a good time! But I also recognize if you aren't that I don't want you to force it. If you need to step out for a few hours, go ahead! Do what needs to be done.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

And here's the thing also---town is fickle. They're like the dog from Up. Scum too. Theyr'e looking for any wagon to hitch to. If you step away for a few hours, I wouldn't be surprised if the group moves on. Stop worrying about defending yourself for now, take a breather, and let them move on to their next bone.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

See---the sane people are coming out now. Let them defend you while you step back. Terra, ATP, Fanto---they're sane. Sometimes it's best to let others defend for you. That is what town is for :)

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I actually feel a bunch of people jumping on monkey looks really opportunistic. Every game I've played with monkey the meta has been, town monkey is a real threat to scum. Everyone jumping on her like this screams scum sensing an opportunity to get rid of a strong town player to me.

I swear AllThingsPurple and I have mind-melded or something....

 

[heymonkey]

You're right. You're right. Thank you. And they KNOW they can get me mad. That's why I can't see all this as town. Someone mafia is in there pushing it because they know I'm going to get irritated and flip out and it will distract people. It's way too easy to push my buttons.

Okay. I'll take a breather. Have some lunch with the kids. I wonder if my medication is impacting this. It's my first mafia game since starting ADHD meds. I haven't really had anything but politics to piss me off since I started taking them so I wonder if it's making me more reactive. I should factor that in as a possibility.

thank you for being a good friend and good boat partner. I will try to step up.

 

[heymonkey]

I swear AllThingsPurple and I have mind-melded or something....

I super hope he's not pocketing us lol.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I super hope he's not pocketing us lol.

This might be awful, but I'm fine with a pocket right now only because mentally right now it makes me feel better having another ally. lol.

Oh lord. New meds + politics sounds like a bad combination. Actually, anything + politics sounds like a bad combination for mental health. Are the new meds at least helping, or too early to tell?

 

[heymonkey]

This might be awful, but I'm fine with a pocket right now only because mentally right now it makes me feel better having another ally. lol.

That's big true. And I think if Ambulance is scum, I will know. Oh! That reminds me, there were some things in my readlist I was going to discuss with you.

 

[heymonkey]

Oh lord. New meds + politics sounds like a bad combination. Actually, anything + politics sounds like a bad combination for mental health. Are the new meds at least helping, or too early to tell?

They are helping, I think. I graded all my end of term work early and without running off for distraction every five minutes, at least. I just... sat and got it done. Which has never happened in my life. Now I'm gonna take a few minutes to work on building abstracts for the book proposal I and some colleagues are putting together. That'll be a good boring test, ha. But they do make me a little sick. That's the big thing I'm trying to deal with. Doc said it could take up to a month for things to settle and then we'll see. I see her on the 30th to assess!

 

[heymonkey]

Okay, so these:

Blargonaut and Lone_Prodigy - not enough from either to get a sense yet.
I find it really hard to read day 1 LP but around d2-d3, LP gets really obvious to me. If he's invested at all, he's town. The early meme posts about post count make me want to lean town but I have no idea about Blarg yet because Blarg.

SalvaPot and nin - I go back and forth on their reaction to the fakeclaim. nin is definitely edgier, Salva kinda chill and just puzzled, but I can see how some could read Salva also as edgy. Just not sure I agree.
I REALLY struggle to accurately read either of these two. nin's votes are usually pretty opaque to me and Salva is just a challenge. Do you have any ideas?

Uzzy and Fanto - I have no sense of Uzzy so far. Fanto I spoke about earlier. Town lean, but it's a developing read and not firm. Very interested in reassessing near end of phase.
If Fanto is disengaged, murder. That's bottom line there for me. I don't know Uzzy at all.

LuxCommander and Terrabyte20xx - Lux is busy but Terra-b is definitely on distant fringes. No town tells yet from this pair. It's early, though.
I think I have only played with Terra-b once, a long time ago, but I got mild scum vibes from the way he was orbiting the thread. That's one to watch, I think.

The Bear and Sawneeks- Sneeks has a few of her patented Light Scum Pushes but not enough of either yet to tell. Bear felt very weird around the Genoforce thing, the pushing but backpedaling but pushing but backpedling, but he hasn't played in a while, so not sure how to weigh it. Null but wary.
OKAY BIG THING: if Sneeks keeps asking "how do you feel about that?" style questions but only really follows up with more questions, she is scum. Straight up. If she starts to come up with weird theories, she's probably town. But she knows about my rubric on her now, too. But I have bad vibes here. I do know she wasn't feeling well yesterday either, tho, so I didn't want to press.

AllThingsPurple and A Wild Ambulance Appears - Both sensible. Ambulance feels very typical and that means a little on the edges but offering thoughts. I'm watching for something to cement that read, so we'll see, but town lean for now.
Ambulance is the one to watch here. I mentored him in two games. If he avoids me, I'm going to scumread him. I wouldn't think he would avoid me if he's town.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Nice. I'll try and give some reads myself, but I've been doing a terrible job this morning paying attention to work so I'm probably going to vanish myself again for a while, then I'll try and catch up!

 

[heymonkey]

Okay! Get that work done.

 

[heymonkey]

monkey: feels better
also monkey, immediately after: finds out parents have covid

you know, fuck this day, i want a redo.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Weird timing. I juuust sat back down myself.

monkey: feels better
also monkey, immediately after: finds out parents have covid

you know, fuck this day, i want a redo.

Shiiiit. So sorry to hear. How're their symptoms?

 

[Vincent Alexander]

VA seems overeager but he's just starstruck by his boat partner and is trying to impress her.

Also, I'm starstruck by you. It's official. lol

^I put that in main game on accident.

 

[heymonkey]

Also, I'm starstruck by you. It's official. lol

^I put that in main game on accident.

hahaha this just makes me laugh, it's so silly

I am not a great player. I am generally just a very FOCUSED player. That's all it is. It's obsessive behavior. Though I'm sure the whole "professional rhetorician" thing doesn't hurt.

My parents... it's hard to say. My mom has a passing relationship with the truth, so I just really don't know. (She's also a crazy Trumper, so... that's been an ongoing issue.) My kids are understandably upset. My stepdad has probably infected half of Little Rock, knowing him. I told them weeks ago to get tested. They ignored me. So mostly right now, for my kids, I just have to hope this doesn't wipe out my whole side of the family, you know? just small things :/

Makes mafia seem easier in comparison, I guess. I'll go see if I can get into a headspace to get caught up. I'm just going to ignore posts about us, I think, and focus on other things.

 

[heymonkey]

I am trying, through gritted teeth.

When I am done responding, I'm going to go through and make a list of major topics.

 

[heymonkey]

Hmm. Ambulance asking to be replaced kills my read on that pair. It'll be Launch or Zipped who comes in and it usually takes me a minute to get a fix on either of them.

 

[heymonkey]

LP town, calling it now

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Jiminy, what a day....I had to call local police to do a wellness check on an agent of mine who spent 40 minutes on the phone with me talking about taking their own life. This has been a shitshow of a week for sure.

Sorry to hear, and I hope they make it out all right, especially for your kid's sake. My brother-in-law is a cop, and overtime has turned into a Trumper thanks to his cop buddies. He was convinced that when Trump won this year that it would be revealed COVID has all been a hoax.

Also, nosey time: what do you teach?!

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I'm feeling good about AllThingsPurple and ??? at the moment. Fanto too. Honestly, it could be pocketing, but I feel good about most people that came to our defense. Putting myself in scum shoes: I don't think coming to our defense and pocketing us is worth the tradeoff of simply letting the fire burn towards our eventual lunch. It doesn't feel like a scum move? I just have to be careful and look at those defenses of us to see if any felt more opportunistic than others, but...I'm not seeing anything that stands out.

To get a real grasp on Fanto, I have to wait for Day 2. Day 1 Town Fanto is generally pretty:

Spoiler

Whereas Day 2 Fanto as town is more like:

Spoiler

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I didn't like that a full claim, no matter how unrealistic, came out, with a red check on someone else, claiming flavor that apparently wasn't theirs, and then took it all back and got to sit around acting high and mighty like they were Confirmed Town now for some reason. It was a trash claim that had all sorts of bait in it, and I do not like the arrogance displayed afterwards, it all reeked, it's hard for me to not think there were bad intentions there.

I've liked a lot of Bear's posts so far, so it's just a gut read on him mostly. I don't actually think I've ever played with Bear before though? I think I spectated a game he was in, but I don't actually know if I've ever played with him.

As for Genoforce/MrChugg, they are independent reads of each other. I know they've had interactions with each other, which if I recall correctly it was Geno being antagonistic towards Chugg, but I'm moreso just noting that these are both suspicious karts to me, not that I think they are in cahoots yet necessarily.

This post makes me feel even better about Fanto. I get good townie vibes here.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Yeah, Fanto is town without a doubt. Right? 2 solved. 26 to go.

 

[heymonkey]

Also, nosey time: what do you teach?!

re: your brother: I'm not surprised to hear it. the stuff my mom spouts... it's delusional. :/

I teach professional writing, digital writing, and digital culture. I have a class on games in the spring semester and I am HYPED.

 

[heymonkey]

Jiminy, what a day....I had to call local police to do a wellness check on an agent of mine who spent 40 minutes on the phone with me talking about taking their own life. This has been a shitshow of a week for sure.

wanted to respond to this separately. That's rough. I am so sorry. I am really worried that we're going to see a huge uptick of holiday suicides because people are having such a hard time. I hope you're okay. Dealing with that is so hard and it must have worn you out. But you are so good to have listened and helped.

 

[heymonkey]

Anyway, I agree on Fanto.

 

[heymonkey]

Bear’s Faddy post is very good. It makes me want to snap townread him. I’m going to resist but it is a very good post.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Yeah, that is a damn good read. Faddy is up there on my scum list too. I'll grab their post that bothered me and repost it.....

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I'm waiting for Vincent Alexander to reappear since he is our Shooting Faddy expert lol.

lmao....

 

[heymonkey]

lmao....

IT'S TRUE THO

 

[heymonkey]

I will definitely reread Sophia and Zeke later now. Faddy’s waffling there is suspect. LuxTerra stays mildly on my radar. Very curious about other pairs and how they react to this.

 

[heymonkey]

So Faddy tries to out a possible innocent child and that... makes him town somehow?

how?

 

[Vincent Alexander]

So Faddy tries to out a possible innocent child and that... makes him town somehow?

how?

I was reading that thinking, "Hold up. If Vincent did that, people would be jumping the hell down my throat right now." So, I'm kind of twiddling my thumbs waiting for people to jump on Faddy. I would myself, but since you're already digging into Faddy, I don't want it to be too much....unless the room leaves it along, then I am jumping on.

 

[heymonkey]

I'm just trying to figure out how Zeke and Fanto townread that. Like here's how it goes:

Faddy forces Muffian to claim
Muffian claim and are ICs
Faddy gets to say LOOK I TOLD YOU SO
Muffian and Sorian, now unprotected, are NKed
Faddy looks town somehow by "knowing"
Faddy coasts to a win

OF COURSE THAT'S A SCUM STRATEGY
Just townread them and move on, goddamn

 

[heymonkey]

IF YOU THINK SOMEONE IS LOWKEY CONFIRMED TOWN, YOU JUST TOWNREAD THEM

example: THE WAY I JUST TOWNREAD YOU AFTER I SAW YOU SHOT FADDY

 

[heymonkey]

This isn't just a playstyle clash. I legitimately do NOT see how this is a town strategy.

 

[heymonkey]

He's still voting them!

Sounds good. I'm just sitting here doing random crap, refreshing to see what the room makes of this. This feels like Zeke putting a lot of words into Faddy's mouth, then Faddy going, "Yup, totes."

I definitely think they could be teamed. Faddy being sus on them and never lifting a finger about it and then suddenly being like "no they're fine" and THEN reading them... yeah, that could be a team.

I am already ready to read scum chat and see what they're doing D1 because there is no way scum is getting this frustrated and out-of-whack this early, right? Something is bizarre about the whole game, and I can't put my finger on it. Mr. Hedin going after ATP for defending you shows they still can't let you go. Is Town really this damn stubborn, or is this scum frustrated as hell? I dunno. There's no way they're this damn blatant about it, but I am flabbergasted by it. If they can't attack you, they'll attack people defending you.

GIVE IT A REST SHEEPLE (or scum)

I teach professional writing, digital writing, and digital culture. I have a class on games in the spring semester and I am HYPED.

Also, I'm jealous. My dream job when I'm older is to teach writing at the college level. I'll finally finish paying off my student debt in 2021, then I'm looking at going back to school to get a master's degree.

Oh you should! Teaching is challenging and underpaid but my students are a real joy.

p sure if ATP was scum doing that, Launch wouldn't have started off doing the opposite. I mean, it's a cheese read but it feels legit. Launch would already know the strategy.

Has Launch come back yet? I guess I'm going to go in and look myself.

TOTALLY off topic but is it weird to you we call you VA and not Vincent? Of course now you're Dr. Alexander lol.

lol. I like them all. It's actually a little weird to read Vincent because I've written since I was in 5th grade, and there's always one character in my stories with a placeholder name of "Vincent" until I come up with a real one. Whenever I read the name, my mind drifts off to a story of mine.

Ha, that's really great actually. I guess it's a good thing we started calling you VA.

Funny, 5th grade is around when I started writing stories, too. My masters is in fiction writing but I've kinda accepted that just isn't my path.

I don't think I've ever seen Zeke come to someone's defense this much Day 1.......

Did you realize it wasn't quite your passion, or did something else involved with writing simply catch your eye more?
