Rose: Answer troll.
Your Dark Spectacled Friend Has Advised Me On A More Effective Method For Trolling You I Think His Contention Is That This Strategy Will Have The Opposite Of The Intended Effect And Precipitate A Sort Of Bond Between Us That Is Established In Mutual Antagonism What Do You Think About This I think you're shrewd to have recognized his ploy of sabotage, and you've earned my compliments. Ah See It Is Working Already What is? Ive Listened To His Advice And Have Resolved To Modify The Approach Slightly I Know What I Have To Do What We Have To Do Really What's that? Remember The First Time We Spoke Yes, but you said it wasn't the first time you spoke to me. We'll graciously omit my embarrassing skepticism however. The First Time You Spoke To Me Was The Second Time I Spoke To You This conversation doesn't sound like your first time either. This Is Your Second Conversation With Me But Is My Seventh With You And when exactly does your maiden encounter take place? Thats Next Time So to clarify. If the matching of my first with your second is denoted by 1=2, then the sequence would be: 1=2, 2=7, 3=1, 4=?, ... Yes And The Rest Of The Sequence Is Simply 4=3, 5=4, 6=5, 7=6 Unless My Future Self Stowed Another Conversation In Between One Of Those Which Is Entirely Possible But Urrgh I Dont Want To Think About That Why is it that when the subject of temporal mechanics is broached your sparing troll intellects etcetera etcetera. See That Is What I Mean Rose You Are Not As Dumb Of A Girl As I Was Initially Lead To Believe You mean based on the first impression I am apparently about to make in our next conversation? Yes What could I possibly say that will leave such an imprint? That Is Why I Have Contacted You Now I Will Send You A Copy Our First Conversation Directly From My Chat Log grimAuxiliatrix [GA] sent tentacleTherapist [TT] the file "ConversationWithAVeryStupidGirl.Txt" I guess being forced to cooperate with a stable time loop is the only plausible explanation for my remarks. Yes And Then I Found It Sort Of Curious That During My Next Conversation With You Your Various Mental Endowments And Wherewithals Were Not As They Seemed I Suspected The Stratagem Might Be A Counter Trolling Measure But Then Was Not So Sure And Further Examination Grew Warrant And what if my counter-counter measure is to choose not to transcribe this dialogue accurately in the future-first place? But See I Have Edited The Copy Already In Ways That Will Remain Secret For Now But You Will Discover Once You Type It So You Are Destined To Edit It No Matter What And What You Submit Will Be What I Once Read Regardless ! Unless I decide to copy it word-for-word! Yes Unless I Lied About Editing It In The First Place Either Way Through Knowledge Of What You Will Say I Have Precisely Engineered The Nature Of Your Transgression !!! So your trolling strategy now is to put idiotic words in my mouth through the machinery of temporal inevitability, and cause me to excruciate over how to subvert the transcription? Yes While being perfectly up front about it? Yes I Suppose Its That Sarcasm All The Time Seems Laborious To Me I'll admit, it's a more advanced tactic than I gave you credit for. Yes And The Providence Of This Antagonism Ninja Vice Grip Pinching Your Larynx Has Already Begun To Supply My Purpose With Fruit The Chilly Frost Shimmering On Our Tree Of Human Friendship Has Begun To Thaw Mixed metaphor aside, usually ninjas don't announce what they're doing when they're doing it. Like when stalking an emperor to assassinate him. Or befriend him. But that's fine. I guess the only pointless question we haven't exhausted is, why? Why the convoluted artifice? Dave Raised Insight Into The Human Psychology Of Friendship Development By Allotting You Your Side Of The Conversation I Have You At The Disadvantage In Your View And You Will Seek To Reclaim Higher Ground In Successive Conversations 4=3 And 5=4 And Such Your Demeanor Will Be Terse If Not Saturated With Disdain And It Will Cause Me To Be Confused And Question Your Motivation But Now I Know Your Motivation Because I Am Supplying It Here And Now They Will Be Simple Acts Of Friendly Human Retaliation So you're not only rigging the first impression I make on you, but orchestrating my revenge for the rigging as well? Yes It Seems Friendship For Some Humans Is A Basic Aggregation Of Shallow And Insincere Hostilities That's an interesting take on it. But now I know for sure Dave isn't behind this plan. It's too complicated. I Dont Understand Who Better To Coordinate Such Events Than The Knight Of Time You're awfully quick to his defense. Are you sure you don't have a thing for him? It's ok, bro. You can admit it. I'm Hopping To 8=8 Ideally You Will Have Long Since Discarded This Train Of Thought Ok. I'm going to talk to my dead cat.
