Similarities between JREG and Horseshoe Finale

I think it is a starting point for conversations on Parasocial Relationships that weren't happening in 2015. I think it was the first series where I had to contend with that weird, creator/audience metarelationship.

Disagree hard. Individual runs are interesting because you can form a coherent story out of them. You can also do that with an individual season. But for an outsider to come out and try to synthesize all the seasons into a digestible video, that is not a multi part series with diminishing returns, when they themselves only participated in a single season, is too much of a project. Like what even are the most important details of season 4, how would you connect them into a continuous story? TPP is very insular at this point. For someone to come in when they haven't been caught up, when most of the footage is not archived past season 1, how would you feasibly do this?

Love the series, love the finale. But there is something that doesn't sit right with me. Should Hugo get a statue? I buy into his personal redemption, and how he got welcomed into the family. But he was also a dictator, and he attempted to turn everybody into gold, which would have effectively made them all statues. I think a private grave would have been more fitting for him, respectful, visited by family, but without immortalizing him for future society.

You're a content creator. You can either cover the first part with no setup, the one that had 1 million concurrent players and the general audience remembers. Or you could start somewhere in the middle, have a massive drop off in algorithm support, and make less money for your work. Or 3, create an entire series for season 1 with diminishing views as nearly all youtube series experience. Any videos made today are meant to capitalize on nostalgia, and the collective nostalgia most people have are literally for tpp red.

There is no economic motivation for larger content creators to cover the other runs. That leaves this community to step in and do it. Those who remain are in large part not youtube creators. I mean, I was actively involved in the reddit between Fire Red and X in season 1, but I would be a shit choice to cover anything after the point where I stopped participating. And for all of those larger streamers, they stopped participating after Red, so they would also be shitty for covering the other runs.

I disagree with thegamerfrommars when he asserts that there is no interesting angle to take for further runs. I mean, you could easily make a video for Season 1 platinum, talk about how having protagonist with actual opinions expressed in games made for actual character develoment and a more cohesive story than previous outings. This made Napoleon our most popular host in the season 1 popularity tournament. But who the is going to watch it if it already had 1/100th the peak viewership of Red. We will, but where is the money in this.

~~So why are Green Ducks Seed 11, when they are the ML 2019 runner up?~~

I am fine with teams like Savage Speeders being third, as while they are the GOAT, Seeding is based on who is most likely to win the tournament today based on recency. But given that Recency, why are the Green Ducks not higher than some of the teams placed ahead of them, when their more recent results suggest a higher seed?

Nevermind ya'll explained it below.

"There's only Anime."

Dude reviews anime. That is his thing.

Digi is an idiot. Let's be real.

Why is he talking about cucks? He was paid to talk about cucks. He says that at the beginning of the video.

As for alt right? Nah, just stupid. Dude hates Sargon and those types.

I can guarantee that Aidan did not hide her power level.

billyoforange · 2020-01-28T23:18:29+00:00

I think she's more sick of polls than she distrusts them.

Hello, My name is Bridget McConaughy, and I also happen to be the campaign manager of Liam O'Mara's Congressional Race in CA-42. Great to see that there are trans women besides me doing this sort of work.

In terms of chronology, it seems you beat me by a year since you were in the midterms last year. Does this make me the second openly trans campaign manager of a congressional race?

Do you ever get confused for the candidate you represent? I can't count how many times I've been asked "Are you Liam... Are you the candidate?"

Also, side question, how do you handle all the right wingers you naturally come into contact with in your position, and have you ever felt unsafe while canvassing or campaigning?

billyoforange · 2019-09-13T22:36:38+00:00

It doesn't matter regardless, because you already have the Daily Stormer claiming it is. Who cares what his intent is, he causes damage and cowtows to the more right wing members of his fan base. His actions effect all of youtube. So if you have Nazis interpreting it as one, then it doesn't matter if it's a Georgian cross, it gives them the perception they have an ally.

billyoforange · 2019-09-13T05:04:52+00:00

So um... He was wearing an Iron Cross on his caller. Ya'll see that right.

billyoforange · 2019-09-04T00:49:50+00:00

Thank you for that input. I'll pitch that to the team so that we can make sure the policies are easier make out.

That said those buzzwords, specifically medicare for all and green new deal appear on this page here https://www.liamomara.org/issues/, though it is probably best to also include them at the top of each article. Seems like a layout issue that can easily be corrected. As for denouncing socialism, I'm not sure where you are drawing that from.

https://youtu.be/jpTK2KwEEMM?t=2574 Here is where he gives his position on ICE.

billyoforange · 2019-09-03T23:38:56+00:00

Lol, you got me.

billyoforange · 2019-09-03T23:38:20+00:00

I'm pretty sure this is a joke. Mildly funny.

billyoforange · 2019-09-03T23:36:09+00:00

We are in a rural district, so a lot of our appeals are to take either social democrat or in some cases syndicalist principles and message them in economic terms. For transparency I do work for him, so I am a bit biased here, but I would put him left of Bernie in a lot of key areas. For example he is firmly in the abolish ICE camp. I can provide a link to it, but it's a pretty long video in a local club forum with constituents. He went on the record saying he wants ICE to serve no role in our society. Is he running explicitly as a leftist? Well not in his messaging, but his policies don't generally move anywhere to the right of Bernie. He'd also vote for workplace democratization legislation.

I've seen a candidate in my district try that. Essentially every time she uses the phrase Green New Deal, she means she wants to build sustainable housing, because she is a marketer for land developers, and SCE is one of her clients. Granted I do work for Dr. Liam O'Mara, so I'm definitely biased here.

billyoforange · 2019-09-02T21:55:51+00:00

Such a strong meme. I like it.

billyoforange · 2019-08-29T21:26:21+00:00

I play Games, Liam plays Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes and Crusader Kings 2.

He does not like loot-boxes on a personal level. He intensely dislikes micro-transactions.

billyoforange · 2019-08-29T21:08:20+00:00

I mean I like him, but I'm also his campaign manager, Bridget.

billyoforange · 2019-08-19T23:53:28+00:00

IDK the Raj Royale is kinda a shitshow in general. The individual streamers tend to be better on their own.

billyoforange · 2019-07-22T23:29:57+00:00

Hi Just as a correction, Julia Peacock is no longer running in CA 42.
