Did not expect a story about Vampire the Masquerade on here. I was piecing it together as it went, but it all came together when she gave a spot on description of the Camarilla, Sabbat, and Anarchs
As a decently experienced LARPer myself, my advice regarding feeling like you didn't make an impact the first time you attended is normal. If you wanna feel memorable, keep going. Many such groups exist where it's something of a revolving door of new players. The first time I went to the one I've been a member of for 7 years, there were five total newbies. Only two of us stayed beyond that first event, and that's not a knock at the quality of the event itself. People have their own expectations of what it'll be like and, often times, it's not what they thought it would be. Because of this, most established members will interact with but not retain the memory of new players. Just too many people to keep track of when you also have to remember all of the other established players. The only time new players stand out is when they really screw up or do something very bad.
Additional point: The one I participate in is a light contact combat LARP. They're all different, though, but much of the social aspects are the same. The same sorts of people are drawn to such things, meaning the social dynamics are often similar. In mine, we have guilds. Mine, which fell apart after the leadership and many of the long standing members moved away for various reasons, was a mercenary guild. Another is made up of mages that spend their time hanging out in a library. Another is another mercenary guild that popped up when mine fell apart, but it's actually just a pyramid scheme with the intention of stealing every newbie's starting cash. The final one is more like a clan of barbarians. Each one attracts a different crowd. Aside from falling for a very obvious scam, associate with whomever you enjoy the company of the most. It'll feel a lot more natural for your character to grow and become reflective of the company one keeps rather than predetermining their destiny and trying to make them fit that as time goes on. My character, Le-Roy "The Dash Ain't Silent" Boulder-Mover, started off as a human with a basic tank build. I love making and playing tanks in tabletop games, as I have always made a better wall than a window. However, I'm not a very big guy and some folks there are much bigger than me, so I was easy to literally push around. After spending some time exploring the system and finding what I actually enjoyed doing, I came back as a troll healer wielding a staff. After finally finding my niche and enjoying it, one of the longest standing members walks up to me after combat and says, "Man, I absolutely love fighting you." "Really? Why's that, cause I hate fighting you." "You're really good! You're really enjoyable to fight cause you make me work for it." "Really? Cause that's the exact same reason why I hate fighting against you. You make me work so much harder than anyone else here and it is EXHAUSTING."
Firstly Erin is awesome love seeing her here too. Secondly as an autistic person I support the first person saying it’s ableist about the eggs stuff despite eggs being a massive sensory ick for me and love that for her lol.
can confirm Erin is actually the most qualified for perfect person based on her Instagram stories she’s just a girl just like me and therefore I feel even before watching this she’s gonna have the realest answers fr
i know they already appeared in one episode together when the plog went to the smosh office, but i need a perfect person episode with both rainie and erin.
I feel EXACTLY the same as Miles about the eggs and have clowned a friend of mine for boiling them in batches and then keeping them to eat plain throughout the day.
your body just decides and then schedules itself to push the poops around for you to poop at 9- if you want to change it then yes, maybe try eating a little later (may cause you poop later like 11 instead of AM) & sit on the toilet, don’t strain, just sit, 30mins - 1hr after the coffee (advice for constipation, the rule is normally 30mins after a meal)
A groups of vampires in most lore I'm aware of (which would be D&D and Anne Rice) is in fact called a coven I do not remember what they were called in wwdits but it moghtve also been a coven Edit: i looked it up and apparently theyre also covens in twilight 👍
In Vampire the Masquerade, the game I think Bella was talking about, small groups of vampires are called Coteries, and the different types of Vampires are called Clans.
Perfect Person tryin to collect Smosh like infinity stones
Miles' reaction to the hard boiled eggs after he just participated in a hard boiled egg challenge on The TryPod killed me hahaha
Why wouldn't you do relish?!
Maybe Rainie snuck over to the Smosh office and made them a whole batch as well lol
Miles really dropped the ball on saying “first of all… ‘Bella, where the hell you been loca?’”
Ugh for real
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
ERIN DOUGAL ON PERFECT PERSON?? every time a smosh cast/crew member is on perfect person an angel gets it’s wings
another smosh cast/crew has hit the perfect person podcast
the smosh office having an emmet cullen bag of eggs is so funny
Miles
❌ 1950's societal conventions
✅ 1950's ✨f a s h i o n✨
DOUGAL??? There's a certain demographic of people (me) that this episode is huge for
Same!
my slow realization that that isn’t someone who looks like erin in the thumbnail, but IS erin dougal is like finding a $100 bill on the ground

Right? My squinting intensified slowly as the pieces were falling into place 😂
Bella's call is essentially a subplot of a What We Do in the Shadows episode
We truly need a compilation of every time miles mentioned Chesapeake Bay the collection
Erin is doing a podcast run recently and I am here for it! I love our gen z hot mess queen ❤
Erin: "i poop at 9pm"
Me: yep this is going to be a interesting episode
Can’t believe Miles got Harry Styles biggest fan while also l further expanding the pod’s collection of Smosh members
really appreciate miles choosing calls that perfectly match erin's vibe
Erin traumatised me yesterday on the smoshcast so I can’t wait to watch this
a 5th smosh employee has hit the perfect person pod
ERIN! I’m obsessed with all of the smosh crossover. Now we just need Miles on Reddit Stories
BABE WAKE UP ANOTHER PERFECT PERSON AND SMOSH COLLAB JUST RELEASED

Surprised Erin didn't mention Harry Styles once but am so glad you included a vampire call 😂

"this has been a horrible first impression" quite the opposite actually lmao

i feel like we all really glossed over miles calling hardboiled eggs hardi b
HR here: please do not let interns live with you. please do not let coworkers that you were not previously living with live with you *period*
Erin doing a podcast run! You go, queen!
Miles collecting one more Smosh member for his Infinity Gauntlet! Thank you for your service king!
i saw erin and i got so excited omg she truly is a perfect person
Firstly Erin is awesome love seeing her here too.
Secondly as an autistic person I support the first person saying it’s ableist about the eggs stuff despite eggs being a massive sensory ick for me and love that for her lol.
Miles could definitely pull off that ‘50s guy look. Ok but imagine Miles and Jay doing ‘50s Marlon Brando-James Dean cosplay
I've been convinced I'm making an egg salad sandwich right now
What a week for Erin podcast appearances
Yay!!! Lunchtime with Miles!
This just HAD to be filmed before the TryPpod eggisode omg
If you don't have Amanda Lehan-Canto next, that's criminal behavior
Erin is such a perfect guest! I want her to come back more because her energy with Miles is so great
Obsessed with Erin! Love her genuine listening and unhinged responses.
I love Erin in videos. She is super interesting and is not afraid to get real/unhinged.
Erin is hilarious so happy to see her on here!!
I’m going back to watch all the smosh episodes of Perfect Person and I’m SO GLAD THERES AN ERIN EPISODEEEEE
Erin is literally the perfect guest for this podcast 🔥
Oh Erin was a GREAT choice! I was so excited to see her pop up here!
Legit gasped❤ Just finished listening to her 1D breakdown
Erin (with deep fear in her eyes): “I’m so honored!”
we stan Erin Dougal.
ERIN!!!!!!! LOVE TO HAVE YOU HEREE!!!
Honestly Erin and Miles hanging out makes sense. They vibe similarly
great ep! one of my fave guests loved her takes and input
Erin reacting to "perfect first date?" is giving Amanda trying to think of a movie with a bear
can confirm Erin is actually the most qualified for perfect person based on her Instagram stories she’s just a girl just like me and therefore I feel even before watching this she’s gonna have the realest answers fr
Yeow that teaser for the summer of ciao patreon eps was so cool and fun!!
omg its the erin dougal renaissance I AM SAT
ICONIC DUO!
I ran here from IG when I saw that Erin was the guest. This was a great episode.
An aside, I got an ad for eggs 😂😂😂
Omg Erin Dougal on perfect person??
Cant wait to watch this!
Oh my god. Literally just finished watching Smosh Mouth 1D episode.
That was a perfect episode.
My new bucket list item is now to have a deviled egg made by Erin Dougal in the smosh office
im just patiently waiting for miles to join the smosh cast at this point 🤣
SMOSH HAS TWO BAGS OF HARD BOILED EGGS??? lmao
Sadly, I wish this was the 1st time I heard this fact.
yesh boiii lets work through all of smosh
This vampire society is reminding me of What We Do in the Shadows
Autistic to autistic radar is so real, I immediately knew the egg salad caller was one of us 😂😂😂
Summer of Ciao is about to go SO HARD AHAHHA
Love this being a very egg forward episode when I literally just made ramen with a poached egg
i know they already appeared in one episode together when the plog went to the smosh office, but i need a perfect person episode with both rainie and erin.
i like that mini golf dates are a recurring element of this show
I recommend to Erin to drink every morning a lemon juice with ginger, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and turmeric. Really helped me with my gastric issues
6:07 was this before or after the trypod of eating hard boiled eggs?
I saw Erin and clicked immediately
Erin is amazing
With all the sudden egg content I’m worried the egg lobby has gotten to you. Is this Big Egg’s work ?!
Miles in the striped shirt with the rolled up sleeves is lowkey giving gondola owner 😂❤
Super OG checking in. Saw your friendship from the start!
28:06 Um… I have one of those I use at my desk and I love it! It mostly just smells like steamed water and a boiled shell, so ya know! 😁💚
Sally AND Harriot
Now it’s time for Ian and Anthony
pausing this to boil some eggs, i got hit with the eggs train😭😭
Erin is giving young Jenna Marbles vibes and I love it❤
love erim dongle 😭😭💖💖
Underrated comment
The patron video was just incredible
I feel EXACTLY the same as Miles about the eggs and have clowned a friend of mine for boiling them in batches and then keeping them to eat plain throughout the day.
ERIN OUR RELATABLE KWEEN

INSANE COLLAB lets go
A groups of vampires in most lore I'm aware of (which would be D&D and Anne Rice) is in fact called a coven
I do not remember what they were called in wwdits but it moghtve also been a coven
Edit: i looked it up and apparently theyre also covens in twilight 👍

@RaptorsVevo no I got that lol, I just meant in general :) so Miles/Erin (I honestly can't remember who said it) were not incorrect
this made me want an egg salad sandwich. And I work at a cafe so it’s possible
Yo i used to make my morning deviled eggs with the work stash too! 😂 amazing
So if I have a poop schedule does that make me a perfect person? I poop at the same time every day lol 😂
Omg Erin!!
Good morning perfect people ❤
relish in egg salad is the norm in the southern midwest, or at least where im from! its delicious
Damn, Erin is everywhere lol. Honestly a Courtney episode would be so cool too!
