It probably could have, but I figure I'll get more in time, especially if I try to solo my Incarnate slot on Crash, which I intend to. I'm pretty cheap in real life, so I try to give away in-game as much as I can, just for the sake of it.

When I give things away, it tends to be to whoever is around at the time. But I'll think of you next time I get one, I promise.

Unless you're at the inf cap, you can always use more inf
That Hetacomb could have financed a large portion of your SHUTTING UP. Don't give him ideas.

Translated for you
The joke is that Samuel Tow isn't a terrible teammate.

As mentioned above (and self-admittedly), he posts about his dislike of 'forced' teaming. A lot. Really a lot. With each post being long. Really long.

The tedium of those continual walls of text is *jokingly* translated into being a bad teammate, which he isn't.

He isn't a bad teammate. That's the joke. But people are willing to jokingly accept that fake premise out of their reaction to his bickering about it.

Now that you know... isn't this thread hilarious?

Yeah well, I'm giving the Hamster a mark down in his grade for not reducing his fractions.

This is why the fourms were a boring wasteland during your "absence" Hamster.

I once ended up in an epic battle with a school teacher for reducing fractions before we'd been officially taught about it. They ended up calling in my parents... both of whom taught college math. The teacher's argument was that the book said 2/4 (the question was "if there are four quarts in a gallon, how much of a gallon is two quarts?") and that they hadn't covered reducing fractions. My parents argued that I was reading a calculus book at home.

I believe that was the point at which they changed me to a different school.

I had concerns that using reduced fractions would unduly confuse some of the more developmentally challenged forum readers. Given some of the responses in the thread, it was a justified fear.

That's an easy one, Sam: The devs hate the hamster. And they are going to get you for giving him your purples.

The lesson of this thread is "I need to team with Sam more often!".

A long time ago. Like I said, I seem to get a purple every time I team with you.

I think its Sam doesn't need to team, because money just keeps falling from the sky around him.

If I was giving away my purple drops, because I just sold a bunch of other purple drops, I wouldn't team with any of you people either. I would sit in my purple wallpapered base stroking my purple cat while thinking of alts I could create that could use all ten purple sets.

Jeez the last time I got a purple drop was months ago and I accidentally sold it at a store. I don't even remember what president was in office the last time I got a purple drop before that.

I'm a bit confused by this thread...

I mean, I saw the 6/8 number, and I realize that Hamster is one of the
two that like teaming with Samuel Tow.

However (and I've looked very carefully), I can't see where it's been
established that Samuel Tow likes teaming with Samuel Tow...

/em scratches head...

You're trying to trick me into saying that Samuel Tow likes to play with himself. It won't work, you know.

You feel the need to explain the irony and then blame me?
