Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

Zoya posted:

i'm moving across the country in uhhh 2 weeks and half my house is still not packed, and then almost immediately afterwards i'm traipsing across the planet for medical poo poo

but actually specific to this game, i've been trapped in 6-hour long daily training sessions at work when my job is normally fake (i usually post instead of working)

i also caught a Zander so all of you can BACK OFF, I WILL BE THE GAMBLER, I NEED THIS

Dang. Okay, works for me for now. ##vote Tired Moritz

I think it actually makes sense for Moritz to not have posted yet based on their location so while I agree replacements are scum I’m not super enthused to go there. Agree w/ folks on Zoya but compelling reason to not post

He posted literally once asking if people really thought it was okay to reveal their catches so far. I replied to him and he hasn't posted since. I'm voting him to see if he comes back or not.

If he hadn't posted at all that'd be one thing but for his sole engagement so far being to ask about talking about fish in advance of the contest? It's worth poking him over.

I think thou doth protest too much (it's day 1 but also you're not really corkboarding it up yourself, chief).

Also I'm really amused that when I asked Tmor for reads you showed up and gave some instead.

I do agree the jumping in and answering a question asked to someone else is a great onboarding point for scum

TBH I think the easiest way to deal with things for now is to pick one spot and only fish there the whole day. There are plausible edge cases where moving around might be worth more than marginal efficiency gains, but if you don't see any in your PM then IMO it's better to try and make sure you get something than it is to try and min-max location coverage only to maybe catch nothing the whole day. After that then you send in the two most sensible contenders you have and hope for the best.

You are. And this means you are more likely to be scum, the more I think about it.

Your posts are not just complete word salads this game (which, when you are town, they are).

You literally voted me to try and prod me for reads and then when I post reads it's answering for Tmor. And then Hal instantly shows up to back you up? Really?

I prodded you for posts more than reads (because you infamously hate D1 and I was expecting you'd just tell me "I got nothing" or not even bother to show up). Then I looked again at the Zoya sus and felt that more than waiting on you longer, and then after Zoya gave a pretty solid explanation of what was up with her activity I moved on to Tmor. I'll grant you that Hal showing up like that has him on my radar too though. Just a second..
