Brawl 5: The Price Is Right

[mastin2]

Frozen Angel

.

I'm sorry, hun, but I'm preeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty sure I'd be screwed against ANY of the other four.

Against you, I think we have about equal chances; against anyone else, it'll be hilariously one-sided and not in my favor.

As for timing:
Timing is whenever I'm online

except

for right now. (I'm leaving in three hours, and I imagine the game would probably take about that long and we're not starting literally this second.)

I'm not going to give a hard time that I can say I'll be there, because none exist.
I'm usually around at some time between 8 PM PST and 4 AM PST, but I share computer access with the rest of my family, meaning if they are on the computer, I can't be. (But if I'm on the computer, they usually won't bump me off.)

Sooooo...next time I'm online, I'll post that I'm online.

(Another reason for the pick is that I'm pretty sure the other four live in timezones where they're asleep at the times I have computer access, whereas I'm pretty sure Frozen Angel is awake during the times I have computer access, so the above shouldn't be too hard for her if I'm correct.)

I can buy an iphone 6 plus for 650$ 's lol
your living in hell

I was pretty sure the watch was sub-400 and probably even sub-300, and that the actual iPhone would if anything be

cheaper

.

Good GOD what kind of hellhole is California?

Because I'm pretty sure that's not how expensive those things are up here.

I'd just like to say:
I think this round was poorly designed.
Let's arbitrarily say that there are ten rounds.
Let's also arbitrarily say that Private I wins 5 of those, and Cheery Dog wins 4 of them.

I don't know about Frozen Angel, but personally, I know *I* wouldn't feel like I've won the game if I only won ONE round out of ten.
And yet, by having the veterans included in the game (I picked FA thinking it'd be a 1-on-1), that's basically exactly what's happening. If it were purely me vs FA, we'd be about even right now. I think I MIGHT be in the lead, but it'd be a really close game: exactly as I anticipated when I selected her as my opponent. An even match.

But with us also in a game against two veterans, they're consistently stealing the spotlight, and will continue to do so, short of pure blind luck.
In short: while the battle between the two veterans going on in this game is a battle of skill, because you included two rookies in that battle the two rookies are effectively battling on luck of the leftovers: hoping to get into that sweet spot.

Just how many rounds of the veterans taking everything are you expecting?

Because there should be absolutely nothing surprising about two veterans consistently outperforming two rookies.

Also,

Spoiler: Handbags

$3,685. Sorry, but you have lost the pricing game. However, you still won the iPhone and watch!

Who the fuck spends that much money on

handbags?!?

I use a freakin' shoebag as a handbag. Know how much that cost?
Something like $5.
Know what sorts of limitations that shoebag has?
Almost none, it can fit literally anything I'd need to carry.

Five bucks for a practical bag.
Not fifteen.
Not fifty.
Not even five-hundred.
And certainly not seven times that price!
Five bucks, same exact function.

What is

wrong

with people in California?

Edit:

Apparently, actually, the exact price of the shoebag now is twenty dollars. (Mine's blue, but it's identical in type to the middle red one.) So, a little more than five bucks, but I did get the shoebag like ten years ago and I don't think it was brand new so I don't think it cost $20.

STILL, point remains:
Practical bags for $20 exist. Why in gods name would you spend 184 times that price on them?

I'm so sorry, FA.
I wouldn't have selected you if I had known it would go like that.
