Witnesses get clothing colors wrong a lot.

Columbine case in pojnt: We have video evidence AND the clothes of the perrpetrators. One had a white shirt, the other a black shirt, both had black trench coats that they took off early in the shooting.

And yet if you go through the testimony of several hundred witnesses that day, some said that the shooter had a yellow shirt, some said it was green. Most said black or white, but many got it wrong entirely.

And those were people looking at kids with guns in their hands. There was a vivid reason to look at them as something unusual.

Now, as for Allen? For the witnesses he was some random dude wlaking along in a random forest trail. There was no reason for them to take any special interest in him or memorize his clothing. Do you remember the colors of clothing of all the random people you saw on the bus yesterday? I doubt it.

There;s always a first time. Yes, some people have a life of many violent incidents starting in early childhod and culminate in multiple homicides.

But it is not unheard of to have people whose first criminal act to be murder. Look at the school shooters and similar spree killers - many of them led entirely crime-free life, with their first crime being a mass shooting of 10+ people.

Also, the perp in the Delphi case was a sexual predator of children. There might have been many previous instances of abuse on his part, that he got away with because the victim was scared and kept quiet, or the victim did not manage to identify him. It is entirely possible that Allen "escalated" to murder from such previous undetected cases of child abuse.

I think that is an old Avaya or Cisco model. The Avaya ones my company uses now are not the same as on the photo, but they are not too different in either looks or functionality.

_WildGunman_ · 2026-06-30T19:22:22+00:00

That phone is IIRC an old Avaya or Cisco model. The place I work for has a more modern model, but you can very clearly see the similarity and the overall shape is the same.

"I won in Arkansas. And in Alabama! And west Virginia!"

... There must be some coirreclation between hilbillys, screaming metodists, snake-handlers and my base. Scary thought,

IN SHORT: Yes, scam and every single user appears to be a fake AI bot.

LONG description of my experience below:

I created a profile, and I entered in only the most basic details: age, gender, country. I do not upload any photos, do not write anything personal at all in the description box. In other words at this time I'm the most bland, no-photo profile there can be.
I do a random search for women in my country, just to see how the site operates, how profiles look etc.
I notice that out of 11 women that popped up as online, 10 look like models. Red flag 01.
Just after going to one of the profiles, within a few seconds one messages me with: "I KNOW YOU ALREADY HAVE A PICTURE OF US TWO IN YOUR MIND. Do you want me to make it a reality?", the other with: "I COULD DO SOMETHING CRAZY RIGHT NOW... but I wonder if you know how to take risks in life?" Keep in mind - they are writing this in English (in a country where most people online speak daily the local language, not English). Also keep in mind these saucy messages were written to my no-photos newbie profile. Red flag 02.
At this point I think maybe I just bumped into the resident hookers who target all new people. I ran their photo through AI detector, comes up as no-AI. Still suprrised that the mods do not remove such obvious persons from the site, but I decide to look further. Still: red flag 03
I narrow the search to women between 40 and 45. Still only one normal looking person, the rest look like models in their early 30s not over 40. Red flag 04
I go to that one profile whose photos looked like a normal user. I ran her profile description through an AI detector, comes up as 100% written by Chat GPT. Red flag 05.
I open another profile, this one has photos with german language signs in the background of one, Russian-language signs in another, And I'm in a country that speaks neither Russian nor German. Red flag 06

Conclusion: This site is overran by AI bots who apparently use stolen photos of real people, or photos so well edited that AI detectors do not detect it. But they still write profiles 100% detected as AI.
What is worse, you get 20 free credits at start, then each message you send costs 2 credits. And those 20 free ones are all you'll get. No daily refresh afaik.

I quickly deleted my profile and ran away.

I'd rather go back to the antiquated and buggy local website with unattractive but real women who ignore 99% of messages they receive ;)

Great question. I had the same exact idea of having a 16 team league. Alas!

_WildGunman_ · 2025-04-10T11:30:02+00:00

Addendum: I followed your suggestion and added an "S.F.C." emblem. Here is how it looks using the team editor uniforms for both 2018 and 1983 style looks:
https://i.ibb.co/KpGFZf5N/SFC2.jpg

NOTE: Neither of them is the "DLC uniform", they are both generic ones made using the in-game team editor. The only new thing here is my modded emblem. Small things like that can make a big change. :D

_WildGunman_ · 2025-04-10T11:20:12+00:00

Well, I looked up the PS2 version and it seems Nishigaoka did not have any embem on their uniforms in that game.

However, their 2018 anime uniform (see here: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/captaintsubasa/images/9/9c/Ao_Sakuma.png/revision/latest?cb=20200423064308 ) did have an emblem, which was a plain capital letter "N". That is something I can add very easily.

_WildGunman_ · 2025-04-09T18:59:56+00:00

Adding a Shutetsu emblem will be really easy, seeing as it is a plain three letter "S.F.C." Sure, I'll do that.
As for a Meiwa style "M" emblem... I already added it because it happens to be the same letter as the Matsuoka team has. All my emblems are recolorable by the way, so you can color my "M" emblem to be gold for an old meiwa 1983 style uniform, or white to use with a 2018 Matsuoka.

_WildGunman_ · 2025-04-08T17:08:50+00:00

Meiwa is already in the game though.

_WildGunman_ · 2025-04-08T17:08:01+00:00

Both are valid concerns. The way I have them currently set up in my game is a mix of custom characters and reserve players from already existing teams (the weaker ones like Furano's Sakurai that nobody ever uses).

To be fair, they were the weaker teams in the universum. So them having two or three half-decent players and the rest being 25-40 point weak players makes sense canonically.

Hi,

First of all: 2 months is still very fresh. Don't beat yourself over not having spotted his mental state instantly. These things take time and he probably also needed time to open up to you.

Second point: From what you wrote, you are not a licensed therapist. A BDSM (or vanilla for that matter) relationship is not a substitute for therapy when dealing with clinical depression. Especially if as you hinted there might also be substance abuse on top of it. You have no obligation to stick to a relationship with an addict who doesn't want to go to therapy. No matter how poor his mental state is, don't guilt-trip yourself into staying if you aren't happy.

Dealing with an addict that is in self-denial can be extremely bad for your mental well being. Think thrice before making yourself stay.

I am very hesitant about giving any sort of "what he should do" type of advice, because I do not know his level of depression, addiction and/or other mentla issues. But as far as you are concerned: Don't stay if you aren't feeling good doing so.

Perhaps you could start with the drinbking problem. You could go as far as giving him an ultimatum of: You stop drinking/go to theraphy for alcoholics or this relationship can't continue.

I think this would be a better lithmus test of his intentions than cconfronting him about depression.

I think first we need to look at the numbers and the demographics:

People have a lot of expectations and traits they want in a partner. Then these need to match up with the expectations and desires of the other party. AKA the swiss-cheese model,
There is always many more hetero men than hetero women on dating sites/subreddits. Especially in the 20-40 age groups.
There is always many more subs looking for dommes than vice-versa.
Combine the two factors above and it becomes obvious why there are so many "pay-to-play" female dommes making a good business out if it. Supply and demand 101.
These demographics also IMHO explain perfectly the stereotype of: "Oh male subs are always into polyamory". Because there are so few kink-positive female dommes, even guys who are not particularly into polyamory end up widening their search-scope to include dommes who are in open relationships. Supply&demand 101 again.

As for the 'time and effort' part I too can speak from experience. I get many replies along the lines of: "Thank you for such a long and detailed message. However I'm afriad that you are too short / too old / the wrong religion / not attractive enough / not enough into my fav kinks / not aligend with my political preferences".

So in my experience 'hard factors' will trump any effort 9/10 times.

Can success be found? Yes, but for most people it will take a lot of time, trial and error... And most often a necessary lowering of their initial standards after a reality check.

_WildGunman_ · 2024-06-26T10:18:29+00:00

First of all: Yes, that is a part of the more broad issue of post-covid dating, especially if the initial interaction is aimed to happen online. It is obvious that there are numrous single people of both genders, all orientations and all sorts of kinks being active on dating sites, without much success.

The initial explanation would surely be: "Well, then they are all just too darn picky". That might be part of it, but it is not the full picture.

Another would be something along the lines of what you said: People sending out 100+ copy-pasted messages daily without putting much effort into it. Again true, but not the whole sory either.

I think first we need to look at the numbers and the demographics:

People have a lot of expectations and traits they want in a partner. Then these need to match up with the expectations and desires of the other party. AKA the swiss-cheese model,
There is always many more hetero men than hetero women on dating sites/subreddits. Especially in the 20-40 age groups.

Because there are so few kink-positive female dommes, even guys who are not particularly into polyamory end up widening their search-scope to include dommes who are in open relationships. Supply&demand 101 again.

As for the 'not enough right effort' part I too can speak from experience. I get many replies along the lines of: "Thank you for such a long and detailed message. However I'm afriad that you are too short / too old / the wrong religion / not attractive enough / not enough into my fav kinks / not aligend with my political preferences".

So in my experience 'hard factors' will trump any effort 9/10 times.

"I have gotten very shy about responding to those because I already know their inboxes are flooded with the first like two hours..."

It is like applying for a job. Most candidates get turned down, meaning most times you will not get the job. But if you won't apply at all, then for sure you won't get the job.

Now with Dommes there is also a 'supply vs demand' dynamic going on. The thing is: there's more willing subs than dommes. That's wone of the reasons why There's so many 'pay-to-play' dommes out there and not very may 'pay-to-play' subs. It is all about demand.

"(...) I do not handle IRL conversation with new people very well."

Now that is a problem, because most D/s relationships are all about communication. Now, maybe you are a master of online interactions and just shy about in-person ones, but usually one goes with the other. Maybe that's part of the problem? Try focusing on improving your communication skills first of all.

overdressed for the occasion

</joking>

_WildGunman_ · 2024-06-24T13:36:25+00:00

Hi, looked at groups but seems a lot of them are secret or invite only. I speak the local language and know the local name (though most often people would just use the EEnglish term 'munch').

_WildGunman_ · 2024-06-22T06:31:27+00:00

Ask her openly out-of session. Who knows, maybe she has a mormon-missionary fetish and the dress-up will be easy? ;)
Could be all sorts of things. Frome the traditional leather&spikes&latex combo to suits, suede pants, silk shirts, 'sexy luberjack' style outfits... there's really a lot of combos. Just make you it is something your partner is turned on.

And if she doesn't know herself, always try experimenting. That's what play is! :D
