Cupid Escrow Service - aka Holdfast Matchmaking Inc.

[Cakes488]

I'm disappointed in this thread for the simple reason that I haven't gotten boob one in my inbox.

Not one.

And what exactly is so unique about this?

CUPID STATS:

- about 35 BBS members sent in lists, splitting roughly 2:1 in favour of guys sending them in.
- we got a total of 4 matches.
- the girls were more selective than the guys, sending in an average of about 2-3 on their lists, compared to an average of about 4 on the guys' lists.
- that impacted on the "most nominated" stats, with the 5 most popular guys only having 2 nominations each, whereas the 3 most popular girls have 5 nominations each.
- none of the 3 most popular girls sent in lists (which is why the match rate was so low), but 4 of the most popular guys did.

My conclusion: you're all a very lovey-dovey bunch, but not with the right people.

This was just as a big failure as friggin high school and the stupid I'm giving you a candy cane gram thing. I'm so depressed. I'm going to go kill myself now so I'll be back later.

Very Shakespearean. In other words, it's all lies, damned Lysander statistics. Getting to the Bottom of this is enough to give someone a Hermia, for Puck's sake.

Your escrow skills are certainly Oberon above the call of duty. I wouldn't want Titania-ther way.

What fools these mortals be...

You've just forever marred one of my all-time favorite plays. Now it's forever associated with TBBS!

It could have been worse. Holdfast could have been played by Rupert Everett.

Well, between Amelia, Cornelius, and Byron, there has to be a "mutual" match, in this case, between Amelia and Cornelius and Amelia and Byron. I wonder what it would be like if Byron and Cornelius also liked each other?

This reads like a SAT math question.

Society didn't let them love each other, so problem solved.

I kinda want more matches to confess but I'll assume that, if they wanted to confess, they would have done so already. If they want to just say they got a match without naming the other partner, that would be cool too.

I sent in a list that was sincere, but not meant to actually go anywhere, seeing as I'm taken. I completely wasn't expecting anyone on my list to mention me! But I got a match and was all .

Awkward.

But if nothing else, we at least know that we admire one another and have a connection. My match was a perfect gentleman about the whole thing.

lol, that's pretty funny and pretty cool. Glad to know it didn't lead to anything weird. And thanks for helping me with my curiosity. I'm worse than a cat sometimes.

 

[Braindeer]

Cripes! I just noticed my name is on the list!

Well that has made my day. Thank you whoever sent in my name!

 

[Emher]

Would you consider it creepy if someone admitted that they did now?

On second thought I'm personally very curious who sent mine in, but apparently it wasn't anyone on my list in any case.

All these list, they make it complicated I say! What happened to the good old days when you went shopping and then realised when you got home that you forgot the ingredients for the big dinner that evening.




And with that I slipped into old man mode. John Spencer's spirit is affecting me trough this avatar I say

Gotcha!

I love Jeeves.

Neroon Award.

Neroon Award.

Soon to be renamed the Ravescene Award don't you think? [No - someone]

 

[RJDiogenes]

No, we only name awards posthumously.

Alas, poor Neroon. I knew him, Horatio. A fellow of infinite puns.

Incidentally, what happens if there's a one-crush, two-crushees triangle match? [The game is called off for rain and the Duckworth-Lewis method kicks in? - someone]

You that would really confuse virtually all of the Americans and other Europeans. But what if happened before the fifth match.

If I had a match, I wouldn't know if the matchee already another match (or more).

 

[thestrangequark]

Not necessarily. The match could involve the same people if one hadn't sent in their list yet.

I salute your prescience in these matters.

What, like if Amelia loves Byron and Byron loves Amelia, but Amelia also loves Cornelius and Cornelius also loves Amelia?

Well, they all get their escrows completed.

Amelia is told that both Byron and Cornelius love her, but Byron is only told that Amelia loves her, and Cornelius is only told the same.

I've not felt inspired to post in this thread until now (though it's been an entertaining read). I suppose I could have informed Kestra, as advertised, but I might as well have it in the open: Holdfast, I may just have a little crush on you, what with your fashion sense, accent, and Wodehouse references. However, I shall only marry you if you can whisk me away to a courtly English manor house equipped with a forbidding wine cellar and a sagacious butler who trickles in and out of rooms with wit and a solid home remedy for hangovers.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Said manor would need plenty of room for your hats of course.

 

[thestrangequark]

^Oh, between the two of us there would need to be an entire hall dedicated to them!

 

[BigFoot]

You could just have a hat wing.

Word! Holdfast's got it going on with that tongue of his.
