I got a flat tire 130 miles from home and had to pay 400 dollars (holiday weekend+college football game) to stay in a hotel so that I can see if it can be repaired tomorrow.

Feel bad for me. Ok, don't actually do that. Entertain me instead. Zell, kill someone prematurely (in game) for me.

That sucks! I got a flat a couple of months ago but it was about a mile from my home and 1/2 mile from the tire store. It was Sunday and the place was closed so I had to tow my car there and walk in thw Florida sun the next morning to get it replaced.
I have road side assistance with my insurance plan and had a spare tire, so they came out to help me. Would have done it myself, but the nuts were on pretty tight, and I was on a freeway with only a cellphone to provide me light.

I was super happy with how quick they were, both in driving out to me and swapping the tire. It helps that I was only like 10 miles away from they city they were in, but given the estimated wait was an hour and they got to me in less than 30 minutes, I was pretty pleased.

Yours is worse. I hope the hotel is kind of nice at least.
It's a Holiday Inn. It's better than most, but not 400 dollars worth. I've been in true 400 dollar hotel rooms, and man they'd put this room to shame, but this room is no slouch. I probably could have gotten something cheaper with another brand, but I rely on IHG's consistency pretty heavily when traveling. Their rewards program blows though. If I had to choose a hotel chain based on their rewards program, this would be far from the first one. Marriott's is better, I believe. Hilton, too.

Glad you were able to get off of the freeway quickly. That is no place to be stuck immobile, spent too much time doing that myself over the years. It sucks you had to come out of pocket for a hotel like that, though, but safe is best in this case.

No one is dead yet?! What kind of ship are you running here, Zell?

Safety was kinda another reason I didn't want to try to swap the tire myself. I know it's selfish to have someone else do it for me, but I feel like a tow truck's lights are much more respected than my hazards.

You’re 100% right, and the sad part of that fact is how many wrecker operators a year STILL get hit despite those amber lights. That’s one of the reasons our State Highway Administration changed the state-sponsored wreckers to have red and amber lights. There’s nothing selfish about using your head, because think of how many dipshits you see on the shoulder like that just to take a piss, check their phone, or do their taxes.

@Mark none of the supposedly open auto shops are open and I have 120 miles to drive. Would you ride the spare, or risk taking the time and effort to swap the blown tire and use Fix A Flat?

Depends on freeway traffic. Sunday might be lighter, but as far as the spare goes… I have definitely driven healthy looking spares for more than 120 miles.

My beef with Fix a Flat is that is doesn’t *always* do the job. If it’s a nail, swap the spare and ride to a store and grab a plug kit and pull up next to an air pump. You can plug it and you could be done in under 10 minutes with a DOT approved repair. If time is an issue, as long as that spare hasn’t been sitting there dry-rotting and has adequate tread and air pressure… fuckin’ send it.

The possibility of the Fix A Flat not working is kinda why I don't want to even bother. The spare looks in good condition. I've already gone about 60 miles. Probably pissing a lot of people driving 50-55 on the freeway... A fucking trucker honked at me...

Oh well, as long as you keep it in the right lane you’ll be legally good. He can get over or go fuck himself. As long as you don’t take turns too hard or speed, a good donut will get you where you’re going. Just make sure you don’t do what most of us idiots do, and throw the donut back in the compartment and forget that you just put all those miles on it… or next time around, you could have a bad time.

Yeah, I'll have my dealership swap out the tire when I get the others replaced.

This is the second time in the last few months I've had an issue with these shit tires. I was intending to get new tires before winter anyway.

I would definitely do yourself a favor and pick up a full-size spare on a standard rim. Even if you don’t have the compartment space for it, they’re invaluable if you spend enough time on the road.

I've considered asking for it, but I don't know if it'll fit. I can definitely check.

Shit, even if it didn’t fit in the compartment I kept a spare in the trunk. They don’t tend to move around much unrestrained, and the space you sacrifice is well worth the convenience of not getting double-teamed by a roadside shop and hotel because of a flat.

I made it home with no other issues, so that's a plus. The "Wha Happun" YT series definitely helps keep one sane while driving 55 in a 70.

Glad to hear it. Bet that was the most relieving time you’ve cut the engine and got out of the car in a while.

So Raine is the Warden I'm guessing since I'm Tough Guy and was killed in jail?

Also pasting this to review later but in jail I said these six are bad:
Local, Raposuh, Jawneh, Benzine, Cole, Jon

I feel strongly about Local, Raposuh, Jon, Cole, and Jawneh. Benzine was hard to judge due to time zones.

I never should've come clean that it was a cold read, part of me thought that everyone would agree Local was clearly a wolf, and I didn't want to make this final decision alone.

Oh well.
Wolves gonna win this one.
Wild to think that a false role claim to get rid of baddies was the right play, but here we are.

I promised myself a few games ago that the next time I get a kill role, I was just gonna come out blasting and not overthink my way out of it.

Dean made a post at the end of the day phase that convinced me he was good and I talked myself out of it.

Then I woke up this morning and told myself "nah man, you promised". Besides, I figured my death would at least prove Dean is good. Didn't expect 2 OTHER deaths the same night.

So I've got  that out of my system now.

If wolves come in with a false evil read and lead a lynch, wolves convert fan, and nobody kills a wolf at night it's literally game over.

They probably don't even need step one.

Very strange choice of targets by the wolves, I have to say. I figured no one was going to bother with TD or Kelly, so I set it up so they could have a "private" chat - and maybe kill one another/themselves if they were feeling especially frisky. Decided on that pretty soon after waking up, and just let it ride for the most part. I stand by the Jailer/Warden being one of the most powerful roles in the entire dictionary for how many things they're capable of doing.


Also yes I lied about my role while explicitly saying that I wasn't going to lie about my role. It's me, it's what I do. 👀

Also, yeah, still would've been happy if we had lynched Local. Town's entirely too passive, and honestly in the strangest (err... dumbest, sorry guys I love you <3) ways. Seer speaks up, says person is Good. Town says no and wants to kill alleged Good player because of dubious what-if reasons. :chuckle

Killing me after Day 1 is becoming the thing to do - just like it was in OG GW. This is three straight games where I've been targeted by the bads after Day 1.

I'll be taking a pretty sizeable break.

I really wanted to go after Cole yesterday but refused to do so in his first game after a break.

One of the big problems with games with player elimination.

The town was 100% going to cook your chicken for you, so it just seems like a waste. ...I mean which is the other end of the problem you're describing, but yeah.

I was torn between him and Local for my statement.

What you said was a factor in my hesitation but I also felt like doing that to someone like Cole - a bandwagon wouldn't have formed due to how people are with him and it would've muddied the waters even more so I went with the target I found sus and felt people would hop on.

Why couldn’t NPC’s be in the dead chat? If guests can’t keep their mouths shut about game content, they can’t be guests no mo’.
Well in the case of the game mechanic I'm going to roll out, they won't be NPCs so much as players in a "game within the game" that affects the main game.

Man that makes it sound a hell of a lot cooler and more complicated than it is.

I do hate that the natural course of the game seems to tend to make people want to quit.

I do think you were a dumb person to target for berserk but obviously it worked swimmingly so what do I know
