18 people are coming from? 00:02:58.192 --> 00:03:00.032 Great, yes, absolutely. 00:03:00.052 --> 00:03:01.692 That is company policy. 00:03:07.992 --> 00:03:13.832 Ask that you do allow space for staff to come and get down and party as well. 00:03:14.372 --> 00:03:17.892 So everything seems to be in order here for your 20-person room. 00:03:17.912 --> 00:03:19.152 How many cots will you need? 00:03:19.172 --> 00:03:20.752 Oh, just like two. 00:03:21.192 --> 00:03:21.592 Great. 00:03:21.912 --> 00:03:28.652 Again, you will have to pay for damages, bodily fluids is extra, so blood come and spit. 00:03:29.172 --> 00:03:30.332 How much do I... 00:03:31.012 --> 00:03:33.512 So wait, how much is it per bodily fluid? 00:03:33.532 --> 00:03:35.332 Like you get... 00:03:35.452 --> 00:03:38.852 If I wanna buy more bodily fluid, how much is it? 00:03:40.932 --> 00:03:41.612 Ah, of course. 00:03:43.432 --> 00:03:44.172 What are the rates? 00:03:44.172 --> 00:03:45.852 Is there like a deal package? 00:03:45.852 --> 00:03:48.552 Like, can I just get the like all-in-one? 00:03:48.952 --> 00:03:55.812 Right, so there's a price for buying bodily fluid, and there's a price for leaving it in the room after you leave. 00:03:55.952 --> 00:04:01.032 Each thing, it's $10 for blood, $50 for cum. 00:04:02.012 --> 00:04:05.412 Yeah, they come in this size of a container. 00:04:05.992 --> 00:04:07.032 Oh, okay, all right. 00:04:07.052 --> 00:04:08.712 They come in this size of a container. 00:04:08.732 --> 00:04:11.272 So it's $10 for one of these of blood, $50 for... 00:04:11.292 --> 00:04:12.152 Per liter of blood. 00:04:12.172 --> 00:04:14.392 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, per liter. 00:04:14.752 --> 00:04:17.952 So yeah, does that all sound good to you? 00:04:18.492 --> 00:04:21.092 Yeah, we might need some extra blood. 00:04:21.092 --> 00:04:22.692 Hey, blood party night? 00:04:22.712 --> 00:04:23.032 Yeah. 00:04:23.452 --> 00:04:25.292 Extra blood up to the room, please. 00:04:25.812 --> 00:04:29.072 Great, great, we'll make sure to bring that up. 00:04:29.152 --> 00:04:31.552 And I guess with all that done, shall we record a podcast? 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.240 Do you want to introduce the podcast? 00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:43.920 Hey, everyone, and welcome to Salt Cravings. 00:04:44.020 --> 00:04:45.380 My name's Brianna. 00:04:45.620 --> 00:04:46.880 And my name's Clair. 00:04:46.900 --> 00:04:49.480 Welcome to the blood party. 00:04:49.500 --> 00:04:53.200 Yeah, this intro did not go the direction I thought it would. 00:04:53.260 --> 00:04:53.840 But I- 00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:03.220 Well, I kind of wasn't expecting the whole, like, scams and blood party angle. 00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:05.660 But maybe I should have been. 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.520 We're sort of on a roll with ignoring COVID safety in this podcast. 00:05:11.960 --> 00:05:14.020 So, you know, we should just keep doing that. 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.900 And eventually, a president will drop dead. 00:05:18.420 --> 00:05:23.160 So this is Salt Cravings, a podcast where we talk about our cravings in very normal ways. 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:25.700 And you know how it is? 00:05:25.780 --> 00:05:27.660 Those four cravings, we're going to roll through them. 00:05:28.460 --> 00:05:31.180 If this is your first one, good luck. 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:38.940 Yeah, if this is your first one, I think that I want you to understand that bit at the top is exactly who we are. 00:05:38.960 --> 00:05:41.520 This is basically pretty much part for the course. 00:05:41.540 --> 00:05:43.460 So this is kind of what you're getting yourself into. 00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:44.560 But have fun. 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.060 Clair, would you give us your first craving? 00:05:48.660 --> 00:05:58.400 Yeah, so we ended up having to switch platforms recently for the way that we distribute our social media. 00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:04.160 Certain tools in the tech industry along this line... 00:06:04.180 --> 00:06:05.520 We can call them the fuck out. 00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:10.280 I almost don't want to give them the publicity, you know? 00:06:10.300 --> 00:06:16.140 I feel like, given that they are the biggest one in the space, like I feel like at this point... 00:06:16.440 --> 00:06:20.280 So Hootsuite signed a contract with ICE, or they were going to. 00:06:20.580 --> 00:06:28.600 And then people got extremely mad, and they tried to lie and say that they hadn't, that they were thinking about it, but that they hadn't yet. 00:06:28.620 --> 00:06:32.380 But in fact, they already had, and they broke the contract. 00:06:32.420 --> 00:06:33.200 But still. 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:43.960 And this had been in discussion for months, and the fact that it even came up, and that people pushed against it, and the presumably executives were like, still going to go ahead with it anyways. 00:06:44.620 --> 00:06:47.840 And that is all kind of expected from a tech company. 00:06:47.840 --> 00:06:52.800 Honestly, that wasn't really shocking in any capacity. 00:06:53.080 --> 00:07:03.380 It was the fact that they are a B-certified company, which is a quote unquote certification about like being ethically and morally responsible, blah, blah, blah, they're a company. 00:07:03.400 --> 00:07:05.540 It doesn't matter, but it was some like showcase. 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:13.540 It basically just proved that the certification just doesn't mean jack shit, which we could have assumed anyways because companies. 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:17.140 Anyways, my craving is no more ice contracts. 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.340 We're just gonna cock block ice. 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.860 Okay, yeah, I mean, obviously we want to abolish ice. 00:07:23.880 --> 00:07:26.440 This is obviously an abolish ice like. 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:28.820 This is a water only zone, no ice. 00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:30.980 This is a water only zone, no ice. 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.480 Sorry if it's a hot day, no ice. 00:07:35.640 --> 00:07:36.700 Yeah, fuck ice. 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:41.520 At least blocking their contracts is like a really good first step. 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.680 I think I have at least one idea of how to do this. 00:07:46.220 --> 00:07:48.100 We're going to abolish contracts. 00:07:51.340 --> 00:07:57.240 Oh, okay, so all those contracts I signed at the beginning of this episode just were good? 00:07:57.260 --> 00:08:00.600 Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's all, that's all. 00:08:00.620 --> 00:08:03.040 I mean, we're never going to pay that shit anyway. 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:08.100 So like we knew, we knew. 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.400 But there's still a contract, you know. 00:08:10.420 --> 00:08:12.040 Yeah, but now contracts don't mean anything. 00:08:12.060 --> 00:08:13.680 You could have phoned the fake phone number. 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.260 I could have phoned the fake phone number, it's true. 00:08:16.500 --> 00:08:23.660 But we all knew, we all know that contracts are just a tool for companies to get one over on you. 00:08:24.140 --> 00:08:27.040 And maybe once in a blue moon, they help us. 00:08:27.400 --> 00:08:33.160 But let's kind of weigh the sins and positives of contracts. 00:08:33.180 --> 00:08:36.260 And I think we'll find that contracts are a sinful practice. 00:08:36.780 --> 00:08:40.080 And Jesus would say we should abolish contracts. 00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:43.680 And I speak in the name of Jesus to say abolish all contracts. 00:08:44.460 --> 00:08:46.400 So we're resurrecting Jesus? 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:55.940 I'm more like saying, speaking in what I assume Jesus would say and believe without backing that up with any sources. 00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:59.600 Maybe I'll find a Bible verse that supports me somewhere. 00:08:59.800 --> 00:09:04.020 But I'm kind of just basing this off of what I want him to have believed. 00:09:04.300 --> 00:09:08.040 The Great Flood was about getting rid of all the ice with more water. 00:09:08.740 --> 00:09:10.200 Exactly, exactly. 00:09:10.420 --> 00:09:11.320 Yeah, exactly. 00:09:11.540 --> 00:09:17.200 And getting rid of all the contracts because all the paper is going to be soggy, so you can't have contracts anymore if there's no fucking paper. 00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:17.820 Right. 00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:21.020 Like, I can't, you know, we know that the true evil is ice. 00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:22.060 We understand this. 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:30.940 We know this, but have we also considered what if the true evil, in addition to that, is also just the concept of contracts? 00:09:32.940 --> 00:09:33.440 Sure. 00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:42.520 So I am staining we're gonna develop a new legal statute that says no more contracts ever. 00:09:42.540 --> 00:09:52.500 Now, I do have to say, in order to come up with a legal statute, we will probably have to sign some stuff to get that in effect. 00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:54.140 I see, I see. 00:09:54.660 --> 00:09:57.920 Well, this is, now this is a complicated situation. 00:09:58.380 --> 00:10:05.340 I see where we might run into a potential pitfall, but no more signatures either. 00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:05.780 Oh. 00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:17.300 We all just agree to be cool, and be like, I'm gonna be chill, and I'm not going to double cross you. 00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:18.660 No, no chill. 00:10:18.920 --> 00:10:20.600 I'm going to be rad. 00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:27.100 I'm gonna be hot and sexy, and say that I'm just not gonna fuck over other people. 00:10:27.340 --> 00:10:29.700 We're gonna defeat ice by being sexy. 00:10:29.900 --> 00:10:31.940 Oh no, you're so sexy, ha ha ha. 00:10:36.040 --> 00:10:42.960 But if everyone disagrees to be cool and good to one another, we don't need ice contracts. 00:10:43.040 --> 00:10:43.860 Let's be real here. 00:10:43.880 --> 00:10:47.740 Do we need forced emigration and deportations? 00:10:47.800 --> 00:10:49.780 No, the answer is no, we don't. 00:10:50.060 --> 00:10:55.040 But in general, if we're all cooled with one another, then that's just gonna happen. 00:10:55.060 --> 00:10:59.700 It's just gonna become a world where we don't have any of that stuff. 00:11:00.540 --> 00:11:05.900 So let's all agree to just hang out, you know? 00:11:05.920 --> 00:11:13.080 We're just gonna have a big kumbaya, say peace and be friendly, ooh-woo. 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:15.600 We'll just vibe, we'll simply vibe. 00:11:16.280 --> 00:11:17.900 So we're gonna buy everyone a vibe? 00:11:18.340 --> 00:11:31.060 Yes, we're gonna buy everyone a vibe, and everyone's gonna be so busy vibing, if you know what I mean, that they're not even gonna think about being horrible, terrible, just awful people. 00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:32.040 Great. 00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:35.740 Do you have any other ideas, or have I fixed it? 00:11:35.760 --> 00:11:37.140 Have I solved the whole thing? 00:11:37.740 --> 00:11:50.740 I had one, but then my brain just kind of got stuck on vibes, and thinking about everyone just simultaneously vibing, and I'm kind of just still on that mentally. 00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:55.400 I think it's just my brain has hit a block, and I can't leave. 00:11:55.620 --> 00:11:58.200 I'm sort of in a sinkhole of vibes. 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:00.820 And that's the idea, that's the goal, right? 00:12:00.980 --> 00:12:04.460 Once everyone's in a kind of sinkhole of vibes, they're gonna all be good. 00:12:06.280 --> 00:12:08.980 We have to induce ego death via vibes. 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:19.720 I think if we just ask nicely, and just don't make a big fuss about it, and are just sort of friendly and respectable, then I think we can really make some headway. 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:26.160 Peaceful protests in front of ICE's building, which will surely never be escalated. 00:12:27.220 --> 00:12:32.920 There's never been a protest where it was escalated by outside authority and forces like cops. 00:12:33.300 --> 00:12:34.540 That's never happened. 00:12:35.060 --> 00:12:36.760 Ooh woo, cop no do bad. 00:12:37.140 --> 00:12:38.100 Feel bad now. 00:12:38.400 --> 00:12:39.720 Feels bad. 00:12:40.420 --> 00:12:42.600 Well, you know what defeats ICE? 00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.540 Is fire, and that's what Pokemon taught me. 00:12:45.560 --> 00:12:46.780 So we're just gonna torch them. 00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:52.760 And I think you're gonna be good on that. 00:12:53.280 --> 00:12:56.000 We're gonna get the world's biggest flamethrower. 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.980 We're just gonna turn the sun into a missile. 00:13:00.780 --> 00:13:02.720 For legal reasons. 00:13:03.020 --> 00:13:04.020 This is a joke. 00:13:04.040 --> 00:13:05.040 This is a joke. 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:07.380 I think. 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:10.060 So we're gonna turn the sun into a missile. 00:13:10.660 --> 00:13:12.360 And that defeats the ICE. 00:13:12.560 --> 00:13:13.440 I'm pretty sure. 00:13:13.460 --> 00:13:17.060 I don't think they have anti-sun technology. 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:24.040 I almost had anti-sun technology, which I think, you know, anti-sun, anti-fa, it all lines up. 00:13:24.400 --> 00:13:25.840 It all comes together. 00:13:25.860 --> 00:13:26.500 The board. 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:29.820 See, I've got all the spots on the board, and they're all connected. 00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:31.300 They're all connected. 00:13:31.460 --> 00:13:32.360 They're all connected. 00:13:32.400 --> 00:13:34.320 It's all coming together. 00:13:34.400 --> 00:13:35.900 We finally have the answer. 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.320 Oh, I'm following the string over here. 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:41.100 It says, what the fuck is the next craving? 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:47.140 Well, moving on from fuck ICE, which, as always, fuck ICE. 00:13:48.020 --> 00:13:49.520 Fuck Hootsuite, by the way, too. 00:13:49.900 --> 00:13:51.140 Oh yeah, fuck Hootsuite. 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:54.960 I'm currently trying to figure out what the next platform is. 00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:56.080 I have some contenders. 00:13:56.280 --> 00:14:06.900 When I know which one I like best, I'll make sure to mention it somewhere so y'all can also have an idea of what other platforms to switch to that don't look for ICE contracts. 00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:10.460 And if they do, shoot a sun missile at them. 00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:12.680 It's a joke, but also, you know. 00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:15.480 It's a joke. 00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:19.280 Yeah, our legal department's gonna have a field day with that one, our big legal department. 00:14:19.400 --> 00:14:28.240 This is kind of weirdly related in which talking about different social media platforms and talking about coordinating stuff. 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:47.060 One of my favorite things that sometimes media will do, my best example of doing this was the web series Carmilla, but there are other ones that have done this, in which a piece of media will have coordinated with their kind of mainline thing, which in this case was like YouTube. 00:14:47.260 --> 00:14:59.180 They'll have like Twitter accounts that are the characters or like, you know, they will basically RP the characters on different social media accounts. 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.380 Role play for people who don't know what RP is. 00:15:02.540 --> 00:15:10.520 Yeah, role play the characters on various social media accounts, and it'll be like, you know, all official stuff that's like, sort of canon and sort of not. 00:15:10.780 --> 00:15:16.620 Obviously, Blaseball has been doing this recently, but like not officially, which is also fine. 00:15:16.780 --> 00:15:17.980 But I just love this. 00:15:18.060 --> 00:15:25.300 I just love when a piece of media will be like, look at these characters on social media interacting. 00:15:25.500 --> 00:15:27.840 Isn't this a fun new dimension of the story? 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:28.880 I think it's neat. 00:15:28.900 --> 00:15:29.460 I think it's cute. 00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:31.600 You love when Mr. 00:15:31.620 --> 00:15:40.480 Clean talks to the Nesquik Bunny on Twitter and tells them that he's going to clean his asshole out with his butt. 00:15:41.580 --> 00:15:43.420 And then the baby nut shows up and... 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:46.740 Cuckoo gaga gonna nut. 00:15:49.940 --> 00:15:50.980 Really bad. 00:15:51.100 --> 00:15:52.000 Please stop. 00:15:52.700 --> 00:15:55.300 Yeah, I definitely want the corporate route on this, Clair. 00:15:56.140 --> 00:15:58.100 That's super duper what I want. 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.140 I just think more serious to do this. 00:16:00.580 --> 00:16:05.940 We're just gonna make the Friends of the Table roleplay just a hundred Twitter accounts. 00:16:06.280 --> 00:16:06.780 God. 00:16:08.860 --> 00:16:10.240 Just for every season? 00:16:10.260 --> 00:16:11.080 Uh-huh. 00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:11.600 Uh-huh. 00:16:11.880 --> 00:16:13.200 And they can all interact. 00:16:13.460 --> 00:16:15.200 But also, I was thinking like... 00:16:15.220 --> 00:16:18.500 So, I mean, I've been thinking about social media in general because they're all bad. 00:16:18.520 --> 00:16:27.640 But what about like a new platform where it was based around roleplaying instead of people just kind of taking to it to roleplay? 00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:31.260 Which I feel like, you know, Twitter wasn't designed for that. 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:32.600 People just do it. 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:33.940 This rules. 00:16:34.100 --> 00:16:35.600 Hey, this rules so much. 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:41.520 Yeah, like social media account where the whole thing is you're not roleplaying. 00:16:41.880 --> 00:16:43.000 You're not roleplaying yourself. 00:16:43.020 --> 00:16:46.100 You're roleplaying a character, whether it's like one of your characters. 00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:47.460 Wait, do you roleplay yourself? 00:16:48.040 --> 00:16:49.540 Let's be real here, Clair. 00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:53.660 I think everyone's social media presence is them roleplaying themselves. 00:16:54.020 --> 00:16:55.520 It's about the branding. 00:16:55.520 --> 00:16:59.500 It's about presenting a specific idea of yourself to the world. 00:16:59.960 --> 00:17:03.840 I mean, sometimes you just roleplay yourself in public, like when you go to work. 00:17:04.340 --> 00:17:05.900 Yeah, everything is performative. 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:07.060 I got a degree in this. 00:17:07.800 --> 00:17:08.620 It's true. 00:17:08.780 --> 00:17:10.700 We are all always performing. 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:15.760 And even if we aren't trying to, there is a performance happening of a degree. 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:19.740 Back to roleplaying cartoon characters or adjacent. 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:21.520 This is all that sort of stuff. 00:17:21.540 --> 00:17:26.720 There can be the little verified check marks for like canon ones where it's the creators doing it. 00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:30.260 No, no, I don't want the creators to do anything about this. 00:17:30.760 --> 00:17:34.360 I mean, I guess like to each their own, this is, you know, this is your craving. 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:39.960 I like when it adds extra dimensions to the like official intended story. 00:17:40.380 --> 00:17:57.960 And also, I think the fan stuff is also super valuable, but I would love a way to differentiate so that like creators can tell like parts of these stories in a really intentional way, where they are coordinating all these social media accounts to line up with the series. 00:17:58.380 --> 00:18:07.700 I want also fan role playing to be on there, but I would love some way to be like, this is the official Canon role play. 00:18:08.460 --> 00:18:19.400 It's kind of like interactive fan fiction or interactive AO3, where instead of an author writing the story, it's collaborative role playing in a public domain. 00:18:19.580 --> 00:18:34.760 So instead of playing RPGs privately or recording them and publishing them on a podcast, what you're doing is you're basically in a public forum that is specifically designed for role playing, which now that I think of it almost certainly exists. 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:36.880 I mean, it was forums for a bit, but yes. 00:18:36.900 --> 00:18:42.200 Yeah, but forums, I don't think forums are a great contender for the best format. 00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:44.240 I think we can improve forums. 00:18:44.860 --> 00:19:02.460 Just to be very clear about the Craving, I like they're both to be fandom, RP, and also the creators creating these social media accounts and using it to tell stories or give dimensions to their characters that are significant. 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:03.020 I like both. 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:06.100 Yeah, they can both be on this new Forum Plus thing. 00:19:06.380 --> 00:19:07.720 It's called... 00:19:08.080 --> 00:19:11.180 It's RP-er, and it's RPR. 00:19:14.580 --> 00:19:16.120 Let's go take a ripper, bud. 00:19:16.140 --> 00:19:17.780 I was just out for a ripper, are you, bud? 00:19:18.520 --> 00:19:19.820 Out for a ripper, are you, bud? 00:19:19.840 --> 00:19:23.560 With your new fun cast, your fun fiction, eh, bud? 00:19:23.580 --> 00:19:25.700 Hey, you got some fan fiction, eh, bud? 00:19:27.060 --> 00:19:30.760 We've kind of turned into Irish people in this. 00:19:30.900 --> 00:19:39.560 I find that I have to stop doing Canadian accents very quickly because they immediately start going into the realm of, like, a mix of Irish and Indian. 00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.040 You got to be careful about where your accents end up moving. 00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:45.880 But ripper, for sure, is going to be great. 00:19:45.900 --> 00:19:49.620 So what are some features of this platform that make it really good for RP? 00:19:50.120 --> 00:19:57.740 So I think there's verified character, which is, like, up character played by the, I guess, the authority on that character. 00:19:57.760 --> 00:20:01.360 Then there's, like, official character, which is, like, one level down. 00:20:01.380 --> 00:20:09.620 This is a character that's in the fiction, but isn't necessarily played or portrayed by the person who has their full knowledge. 00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:12.200 And then there's, like, insert character. 00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:13.060 Yeah. 00:20:13.220 --> 00:20:15.840 A lot of people are going to be playing insert characters. 00:20:16.020 --> 00:20:20.260 I also think we can maybe limit, I think, the canon version maybe to, like, one. 00:20:20.520 --> 00:20:26.360 But I think with, like, the fandom version, there can be 20 Arya Joys, is what I'm saying. 00:20:26.800 --> 00:20:28.620 These are categories of characters. 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:32.780 We haven't even gotten into how these characters interact. 00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:37.780 We just gotta fix how communication happens on a digital forum. 00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:39.940 It does not correlate to how we talk. 00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:42.840 But also, how are these people communicating? 00:20:43.020 --> 00:20:45.840 Because sometimes characters do just text each other. 00:20:45.860 --> 00:20:56.960 I think a good thing would be, like, dashboards for different series, so you could just, like, click, oh, yeah, I wanna go to this specific series and see the RPs that are happening for this specific series. 00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:58.440 And then one for this specific series. 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:11.660 Well, I don't know that it needs to necessarily be live, but unlike the way that Twitter is, in which it's just like, here's all of the different things that you follow all the different people for, I want you to be like, here's your timeline for Friends of the Table RPs. 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:14.540 Here's your timeline for She-Ra RPs. 00:21:14.800 --> 00:21:17.060 Here's your timeline for Salt Cravings RPs. 00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:23.480 I also like the idea of, like, quote-unquote locked groups, where, like, there's locked and unlocked. 00:21:23.800 --> 00:21:30.780 I'm just, like, architecting this in my mind as I go, but, like, a locked group is, like, this is who's gonna portray Arya Joy. 00:21:31.380 --> 00:21:35.140 Other Arya Joys cannot come in to this, and you can go and read it. 00:21:35.140 --> 00:21:38.500 It's still public, but, like, you know who's portraying Arya Joy. 00:21:38.520 --> 00:21:40.300 Hey, Clair, we've wrapped... 00:21:41.040 --> 00:21:44.160 We've wrapped back around to no doubles. 00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:48.640 To kinning with no doubles. 00:21:49.340 --> 00:21:50.060 Oh, no. 00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:51.520 I don't even know what that means. 00:21:52.840 --> 00:21:56.840 Long and short of it, kinning is the way in which people... 00:21:57.420 --> 00:21:58.800 This is especially a thing on Tumblr. 00:21:58.820 --> 00:22:00.440 People believed that they were specific. 00:22:01.940 --> 00:22:07.140 Yeah, your dragon kin, and there were ones that were for, like, fictional characters or ones for, like, other sort of stuff. 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:08.840 That's very specific. 00:22:09.600 --> 00:22:10.300 Yeah. 00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:12.000 I want to be Arya Joy kin. 00:22:12.100 --> 00:22:13.500 Arya Joy did nothing wrong. 00:22:16.600 --> 00:22:16.800 And... 00:22:16.800 --> 00:22:23.520 But there was also a thing on there where there would be drama every so often because of doubles, because there would be people who kinned the same person. 00:22:23.540 --> 00:22:24.980 And they... 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:29.800 So people would often be, like, you know, with their kinship, they would be like, uh, no doubles. 00:22:29.980 --> 00:22:33.220 If you kin the same character as me, do not interact. 00:22:33.580 --> 00:22:35.740 Well, we're gonna make a platform that is... 00:22:36.140 --> 00:22:45.580 I'm gonna say anti-doubles friendly, but also there's unlocked groups where, like, you can have multiple, I guess, doubles, triples, you know, they can all... 00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:48.260 You could just have four Arya Joy's talking to themself. 00:22:48.700 --> 00:22:52.680 Like, just a thought process, like, stream of consciousness thing. 00:22:52.940 --> 00:22:57.880 It's just four people roleplaying as a single person's stream of consciousness. 00:22:58.140 --> 00:22:59.460 I also am just thinking about... 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:05.100 So one of the things about the Blaseball Wiki, and I know I talk about Blaseball so fucking much, and I swear to God... 00:23:05.780 --> 00:23:07.440 It's almost as much as Star Wars. 00:23:08.080 --> 00:23:08.580 Sure is. 00:23:08.660 --> 00:23:13.080 But I just want to, like, read out the way in which it deals with canon on its Wiki. 00:23:13.100 --> 00:23:21.100 It's the Interdimensional Rumor Mill, which randomly chooses one backstory of many written by the Blaseball community when a Wiki page is loaded. 00:23:21.180 --> 00:23:31.100 Basically, you load a Wiki page, and it randomly chooses one of the backstories for that character that's been written by the Blaseball community and just gives it to you. 00:23:31.120 --> 00:23:34.840 And it's like, this is the canon right now, and you reload the page, and it's a different canon. 00:23:34.940 --> 00:23:41.900 There's a character named Famous Owens who has, like, a dozen different alternate realities and mirror dimensions that you can see as you refresh the page. 00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:51.760 I think that would be a great way to arrange at least part of this in which it's like, all of these different RPs are true in alternate universes. 00:23:52.100 --> 00:24:08.260 This also, by the way, is how the Godzilla movies handle canon, in which every Godzilla movie takes place in a universe in which some stuff is true from a previous Godzilla movie, but also a universe where other stuff is just categorically not true and did not happen. 00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:09.400 It's wild. 00:24:09.840 --> 00:24:11.780 Anyway, that's a way to do canon. 00:24:11.800 --> 00:24:17.420 So we're gonna have, like, a universe builder where you can pick and choose the conversations that are true in your universe. 00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:28.140 And so if you're, like, coming into a new RP and you're like, I don't understand what's going on, you can go back and read different conversations in the universe. 00:24:28.140 --> 00:24:29.740 And it might not even be the same character. 00:24:29.760 --> 00:24:35.020 You could just be like, oh, I really liked this conversation that happened between this other group of people. 00:24:35.080 --> 00:24:38.900 I'm gonna make a new universe, and that's gonna be the jumping off point of this universe. 00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:39.140 Yeah. 00:24:39.260 --> 00:24:41.420 And now we're gonna roleplay from there. 00:24:41.740 --> 00:24:44.280 This UI is gonna be very unwieldy. 00:24:44.280 --> 00:24:50.640 It's gonna be wild trying to manage all of these things and figure out, okay, which group, which universe, which whatever am I in. 00:24:50.980 --> 00:24:53.680 We'll just underpay some artist and UX designer. 00:24:53.700 --> 00:24:54.240 It's fine. 00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:55.440 Yay, yeah. 00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:57.440 Design's not important. 00:24:57.940 --> 00:24:59.120 Design's very important. 00:24:59.340 --> 00:25:03.780 Sounds like a great plan to me, to all of the RP on Ripper. 00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:05.580 Do you have any jokes for Ripper? 00:25:06.220 --> 00:25:07.000 Rip Ripper. 00:25:07.380 --> 00:25:10.580 Killed before its time, because you're not going to make it real. 00:25:10.860 --> 00:25:17.120 All right, then, Clair, give me your next craving. 00:25:17.700 --> 00:25:19.800 I really want to be cool sometimes. 00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:20.720 Yeah, me too. 00:25:21.040 --> 00:25:22.500 Yeah, I just want to be cool. 00:25:22.980 --> 00:25:37.360 I have for a very long time, very much wanted to learn how to skateboard or longboard, because A, I truly just want to learn how to skateboard, but it's hard and longboarding is easier, but it's still somewhat difficult to learn. 00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:45.100 And also you have to have like, you have to commit to like, oh, I'm gonna do this now and buy a longboard and then do it. 00:25:45.360 --> 00:25:55.560 I remember the like couple times I rode a longboard was like second year university, and it was just down the like main mall road at UBC. 00:25:55.600 --> 00:26:00.740 It's just a long, wide like student path, and there was nobody around. 00:26:00.760 --> 00:26:02.280 So it was super easy. 00:26:02.300 --> 00:26:06.680 And I went for like maybe 20 feet, and I was like, whoa! 00:26:07.600 --> 00:26:08.240 It was great. 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:10.680 So I want to get back to that. 00:26:10.760 --> 00:26:17.460 I want to learn to longboard or skateboard so I can be cool and with the youth, hip with the youth, you know? 00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:19.120 Yeah, I know, for sure. 00:26:19.600 --> 00:26:21.680 What's preventing you from just going out and doing it? 00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:23.740 Well, A, I don't really go anywhere. 00:26:23.940 --> 00:26:24.520 That's fair. 00:26:24.520 --> 00:26:26.700 I guess I could just longboard around the block. 00:26:26.860 --> 00:26:29.240 That's a good idea, actually. 00:26:29.260 --> 00:26:35.520 I could just longboard, put some headphones in, probably get hit by a car. 00:26:35.540 --> 00:26:37.100 And, you know, have a good time. 00:26:37.380 --> 00:26:40.180 Okay, so the part where you get hit by a car, I don't love that bit. 00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:44.760 Well, I have my headphones in, so it's hard to listen to the traffic going. 00:26:44.780 --> 00:26:47.920 Yeah, no, I understand how it happens. 00:26:47.940 --> 00:26:49.360 I just don't want it to happen. 00:26:49.780 --> 00:26:53.020 Look, sometimes we have to make sacrifices to longboard. 00:26:53.380 --> 00:26:55.960 Sometimes you sacrifice to look cool. 00:26:56.180 --> 00:27:01.600 What if there was a safer environment to learn to longboard in? 00:27:01.620 --> 00:27:03.000
