Now I'll never find out about the glitch in Super Mario 3

Looks like it was deleted, what was it? (Also hi!)

I don't want the game to end with a defensive replacement CF getting mowed down! If Rick Vaughn wanted Parkman, we should too

Hi Hugo,

I'm sorry, I cannot write another article to help Bristol City. Best,

Right, and I find having no choice but to directly confront my shame is the only way out of my shame spiral

I stubbornly believe he is drawing dead but it certainly is something to point to beyond the growth angle, I guess?

I guess the reverse of that suggests another use case I'd be comfortable with: If I'm at the bottom/middle of an alliance and would be stealthily OK with the people most at risk in my alliance going home

Am I missing something? I would trust your take, @stephenfishbach.bsky.social

I do wonder if there's some bias in how we think about it — we remember the splits that go wrong more than the votes that go smoothly — but players love to (over?)correct for things they see on recent seasons, and the high-profile examples of splits gone awry are stacking up.

To argue against myself, the act of being comfortable with a split is a signal of trust to your alliance, and evidence that you will do what you say you will even when risky. But woof, that's a lot of risk to stomach, and all the New Era twists have encouraged everyone to seek the safest move.

There are so few remaining situations where I'd be comfortable splitting. To even consider it I'd need an indisputably clear target — equally threatening to everyone — and rock-solid intel that they have a real idol. Ideally requiring two flippers for it to unravel instead of one. Hard to pull off!
