making monsters

Someone on reddit asked about it. And it turns out there’s a logical-ish reason:

all of the other players pair off with their man to prevent anyone else entering into the fight … so it’s a form of self policing. 

[…] The players basically want to prevent 2 on 1, etc. fights and by finding a “hugging” partner so there’s no ganging up on one guy, even on accident. They do it because it’s fair. And it’s kind of cute sometimes.

Ending ment

Dan: It’s the reason our furniture has been on shuffle seemingly.

Phil: What’s it been doing? Well… we’re moving! Surprise.

Dan *laughing*: It’s more exciting than that! LIFE UPDATE. Are you ready for this everybody? We have bought A HOUSE!

Phil: Dun-dun-dun!

Dan: It’s official! Not like the last time where we tried and then they said that there was a dead body and we got scared, and then we didn’t.

Phil: Yeah.

Dan: This time successfully.

Phil: It’s a real deal.

Dan: How’s that?

Phil *copying*: How’s that?

Phil *giggling*: So this has been a project that we’ve been working on since 2017.

Dan: It is a new build and that means that other than the outside, which you can’t change, we’ve designed the whole thing from the ground up and that means, when I say we really have every single damn thing in this place that we’ve decided.

Phil: We haven’t had any spare time because every minute of spare time has been working on this.

Dan: Yeah, it turns out that this is quite a big job, so it’s been another job that we’ve had for about three years now. ‘Cause this was something we decided in…?

Phil: I think it was 2017, it was just before Tour 2 or during Tour 2?

Dan: We did it in 2017 because we were told and had genuinely planned to move into a new house dangerously maybe in the middle of Interactive Introverts.

Phil: Yes!

Dan: Turns out-

Phil: It took-

*my connection cut out for a few seconds sorry*

Dan: How do we feel about the fact that it’s been taking a while? Slightly miffed.

Phil: Slightly miffed. So all of our stuff is in boxes and has been in the last four months or something?

Dan: Yeah, we have the DanAndPhilGAMES room, it’s completely covered, a cubic, to the whole ceiling and it’s leaked into every other room.

Phil: It has.

Dan: We’re basically living in a Harry Potter cupboard right now. But that’s fine. We’re ready.

Phil: We are. It was meant to be in the start of this year but then COVID happened.

Dan *chuckling*: So now we’ve just been living out of suitcases. I was a bit over optimistic, I was like I can live with two T-shirts and a pair of jeans at like a six months cruise.

Phil: I was paranoid, I had to pack everything.

Dan: And it turns out that you are right. So there you go.

Phil: Yeah, it’s really exciting. We’ve got enough room there to work and also live-

Dan *chuckling*: Which is important.

Phil: - we’ve designed the floor plan. The floor plan is made by us.

Dan: I’m just looking forward to not paying rent! You know for this place, it’s some guy in Norfolk that we’ve never met.

Phil: I know.

Dan *sarcastic: Yeah, I enjoy it.

Phil: Yeah, this is super exciting. I don’t think we’ll be sharing like, this is our house tour, welcome to our front door! Come on in.

Dan: Yeah, I mean, there’s the privacy angle but then there’s also house tours you don’t want to look like you’re celebrating the materialism too much.

Phil: No.

Dan: ‘Cause it’s not about say, hey, look at all our stuff. Isn’t our stuff great? I see that it’s not ALL like that because I like watching house tours.

Phil: Yeah.

Dan: From an interior design perspective. I want to know what stuff do people have because it’s a cute reflection of their personality? What big choice did you make about that yellow wall?

Phil *angrily*: Now you’re making me want to do a house tour!

Dan: But either way, we’re not actually going to be moved in for several months. So don’t expect that. But yeah, that’s a big exciting thing for both of us.

oh? you mean these?
