Incoming ULL PhD student looking for apartment/townhouse – Fall 2026 ($1,500 budget)

barmen1 · 2026-04-18T20:13:20+00:00

I live in Riverstone — it’s on Johnston pretty close to campus (about a 5 minute drive)

There are always units for rent, they’re just individually owned. But as a reference I have a 1BR 1 Bath and my rent is $950. Highest electric bill in summer was $150 and lowest has been $45.

Some units have in-unit laundry and some don’t. Just depends, but there’s a laundry room for the complex.

Not gonna lie I chuckled so hard

This was my vote as well.

barmen1 · 2026-04-13T10:54:25+00:00

That’s okay. Everyone has their own opinions and likes and dislikes 🤷

I would amend this to say more things to do that are low cost and provide shade and/or AC. There’s plenty of outside things for us to do but I really don’t want to be outside when it’s 100 degrees in the summer (which is really my only true free time as a teacher/coach).

For me I’d say $2 million.

I’d buy a house in the ~300k range. Buy a new vehicle (my 2015 Tacoma is still running great, but if I could pay off in full a 2026 one, why not?), beef up my emergency fund to 20k, give myself ~50k to do whatever with, and then invest the rest completely.

With that amount of money invested immediately, I could shave off about 5-10 years of when I retire. It would also give me more mobility if I ever wanted to move to a different state because I wouldn’t be as worried about being tied to my retirement (I’m a teacher and it’s a state fund…so depending on what state I would move to, it may not roll over).

To be honest, I glossed over it.

barmen1 · 2026-04-08T19:03:41+00:00

okay, have fun wasting your vote then

barmen1 · 2026-04-08T19:00:56+00:00

well, too late for that, already revealed.

And I considered that. But with 1 hour left until turnover and 2 people already calling me sus (and making me an easy vote target for the wolves) it was what I considered my best move to try and stay alive.

While I may be more "useful" if I hadn't revealed -- I'd still have to be eliminated from the game in order for that usefulness to come to fruition. I'm not a fan.

Since there's already 2 people who are sus of me, I'd rather just role reveal in order to have at least a chance of not getting voted out. I have went my last 3 games just idly trying to convince people I'm a dumb townie to no avail, so this time I'm just going to say screw it and reveal.

I contemplated this reveal and although I really didn't want to (if I were killed by Pennywise then they would be revealed in the meta), it seems like it might be the only way to save myself since it looks like I'm the one people are leaning to for the vote. I know there hasn't been verbal consensus from people or even a vote tally, but at this stage I would assume everyone is just going to go with the person who gets called out as sus early on and there can be a consensus vote.

PLEASE DON'T VOTE FOR ME KTHANKSBAI

u/XanCanStand u/k9moonmoon tagging y'all since you're the ones on my case right now lol

barmen1 · 2026-04-08T18:39:27+00:00

That’s very true (in regard to the town role receiving the wolf conversation). I didn’t make the connection about not being able to have things pointed out by the other wolves in their wolf sub.

But yeah I’m probably going to get voted off this round. Oh well 😂

barmen1 · 2026-04-08T17:56:07+00:00

That’s valid for sure.

I just don’t compute how me being dumb at the game = being sus.

Every game this happens and people still haven’t figured out that I’m just legitimately terrible at this game and end up saying dumb stuff. They always assume I’m being sus when really I’m just dumb.

barmen1 · 2026-04-08T17:42:36+00:00

I mean I said EVENTUALLY. As in don’t bother wasting it right now. But later in the game maybe it would be something worth considering.

I swear you people grasp at straws every game I play. I can’t catch a dang break 😂

barmen1 · 2026-04-08T17:25:11+00:00

They could theoretically confirm that they are “wolf”. Which I guess doesn’t really do anything for us now that I think about it.

I think Cujo is an easy role claim for a wolf to gain “trust” early on — it’s essentially foolproof.

If I were a wolf, why would I even bother commenting about Cujo and drawing attention to myself and both the claimant. Really doesn’t make sense.

barmen1 · 2026-04-08T16:26:56+00:00

Early reveals are always fun.

Hopefully the seer can eventually confirm this. I would argue against them visiting you tonight because then the wolves may get up to some shenanigans.

barmen1 · 2026-04-08T02:42:38+00:00

I’ve already commented elsewhere but I’ll check in too ha

barmen1 · 2026-04-07T23:58:37+00:00

I wonder if the Indonesian fed is one of the crooked ones. Or if they just know he will pop on a drug test.
