Anon games aren't a perfect solution (IT WASN'T LOVE, IT WASN'T LOVE) but it has done well to prevent many pre-game relationships from becoming aligned, which is probably a better thing

Also if there were to be a skype chat I'd want to be in on it :P

Yeah, if Magic Kingdom is any indication of how letting pre-game relationships fly freely goes, I think what we're doing with anon games is going fine for the most part

My IDing career consists of correctly guessing PEG by typing style, correctly guessing PrivateI by discussion topic, and incorrectly thinking ani was hiplop while accusing the real hiplop of being Gale Wing Srock.

Mine is guessing Drench in GoT for saying "noo" in italics, guessing Drench in Eon because his activity seemed Aussie and his RL shit corresponded to the RL shit that he was telling me about in his Bands confessional, guessing Ceph in GoT, and several impulse decisions about how every player who PMs me at 3am is definitely Drench or JDGA.

I can correctly ID somebody and then talk myself into a wrong ID of said person.

Or just randomly guess and maybe be correct.

At least you didn't have the same conversation with Gnar that you had over Skype.

Like literally verbatim.

I thought I really screwed up because I said something in the Skype chat using the exact same wording as I used when talking to Amumu the day before. I guess it's possible to be MUUUUUCH more obvious than I was.

Edit: fixed wording by adding "wording"

Yeah I didn't realize it was Matt until he dropped in a detail that I hadn't mentioned in-game.

Then I was like "fuckkkkkkk"
