The Ruse Travis Accomplished 

Had to get the Phoenix Fire dice, the liquid core is just too hot to resist

@@masaichi453omg thank you so much! I’m working on your order now and will get it out to you as soon as I can!

Little confused and forgetting the context. Can you please clarify? T^T

@@toonman5099 sam has a habit of introducing something seemingly innocuous as a joke and then later subverting it to drop lore about his character/create a big emotional moment. examples include fresh cut grass being a therapy bot, nott being afraid of water and late-campaign scanlan. travis did the same thing here when he revealed that chetney was commissioned by the cerberus assembly when he worked for the rexxentrum toy authority (the rta tattooed on his arm which everyone thought meant "recognize the alpha"). hope that cleared things up! i tried to keep things vague in case you haven't seen the other campaigns

@@lprocks555 Gotcha, wasn't sure if it was the general "plays the long game" thing or something else specific. XD

@@toonman5099 the one eyed monster destroyed his companion named Pussy

Watching Travis’ face right before lol he knew he said the wrong thing 😂😂😂

Matt's look when all the work he put into the Lore and Backstory has just been tossed out of the window...Travis set Matt up for the ol' okie-doke and hit a home run...hahaha

9:05 is when Ashley realizes.

I'm really glad someone else pointed this out 😂

Personally, I think it's actually the other way around. We wont know for sure until Matt and Travis talk about it more. But, I'm of the theory that Matt and Travis planned to foreshadow Chet with the chairs and agreeing R.T.A is for the Toy Authority. Which to me, explains why Matt had such an expression after Travis suddenly tried to tie it into his famous Alpha saying at 1:59 Matt's expression just screams to me something like "I can't believe this mother fucker changed it...! and it fits too! ... I'm out." Which is also why Matt wanted to get revenge. Going on to debunk his Alpha wolf status over all.

@@raviath7273 I like that, but I don't feel like Travis' body language supports that. It's not like he looks over at Matt to 'verify' or check whether he's about to stop him - he seems talking purely by his own volition. But we're both guessing, are you in the US? Can you ask them at the next comic con from me? :)

Laura's genuine shock and disgust immediately after is the cherry on top for me.

So that's like 40?

@@abdulazizalrakban4643 2 dozen = 24

"It's very ELITE!!!! It's ELITE!!!!"

​@abdulazizalrakban4643 considering a couple usually means 2 or 3, it's between 24 and 36 people

Yup! 😂

He barely responded to her saying that, he didn't get wide eyed, he just nodded along, I swear you people exaggerate everything.

Marisha is insanely good at detective work! Even when she guesses, its not that far off lmao

Brilliant. Love it.

I've been bamboozled, well played

Daaaaaaamn ! Nice

This is turning into some VFD shit, and I love that

Oh dang *we* have been tricked.

To be fair, Travis did a long con in Campaign 2...

​@@JimmiHoevringwhat was the long con?

@@u.s.s.chucklefucker1657 I don't want to spoil the surprise for anyone.... So I'll say: Google it... It's out there..

"it's not really an alpha male tattoo, but ..." "Alpha what...?" He never said anything about it being a male thing hahaha

I know, i got kinda mad at Matt when he immediately shit on the "Alpha" thing when it came up, and just kinda threw Travis under the bus a bit. I know it wasn't intentional, it seemed almost automatic from Mercer but it was still kinda oof

chetney: "recognize in you the traits a leader needs, cultivate and improve them, and you will be the best version of yourself" matt: "I will overwrite whatever travis wanted with chetney, that character is stupid because I said so"

@@texteel Nah, that had almost nothing to do with Travis or Chetney; that was Matt instinctively providing a PSA to audience members potentially falling down a rabbit-hole of emotionally crippling nonsense. Still slightly cringy in it's own way, what with him interrupting the description of how Travis' version is much more universal and wholesome than it's real-world counterpart, but nowhere near the undermining of a core personality trait that you seem to be describing...

@@BoojumFed the character will only be as smart or as stupid as I write it to be. If a GM for any reasons says "that character is dumber than what you wrote it to be", it is a major overreach and breach of trust.

Yeah that was really petty imo 😅

@@intelli-gent9863 incredibly

@@intelli-gent9863 It was funny, they do banter like this all the time. Especially going back to the old Talks Machina stuff. They know they all love each other but also love giving each other hard times.

Except he didn't debunk anything😂😂😂 Alphas exist is multiple species. As a matter of fact, they are especially common in primates.

@@kevinryan917 but they don't... the whole idea was debunked by the very scientist who came up with it in the first place. Are there hierarchies? Yes, but the alpha theory was debunked. Unless you know of another scientific study that was peer reviewed and accepted that supports it. Or let me guess, you know better than a scientist?

i thought he was referring to the first combat encounter in this campaign

YES !! " But, what is with the chair?! " the eternal question returns once more !!

​@existential_sad_boi nope. He was referring to when the MN were tracking Nott's husband and they found a basement room that had been ransacked except for a chair placed in the middle. It was an ongoing thing for them to figure out the purpose of the chair. It even got a question during Talks Machina.

The trichotomy, if you will lol

@@PsykotikDragonand all 3 of them could give you one nasty tracheotomy Ok. Maybe not Fjord. He'd somehow bungle it in the most hillarious way

@@tomaszskowronski1406 lol I said trichotomy as in "dichotomy but 3 instead of 2", but you're right they def would lol

@@PsykotikDragon i know. just yes anded it a bit.

Didn't even recognize that especially if you look at Travis's face. He's like yep you're right.

@@Austin123. - he is 100% going "oh fuck, she almost got a direct hit! play it cool travis! Don't spill the beans!"

Her intuition is off the chart sometimes. Or maybe she sneaks onto Matt's computer at night :D :D :D

@@GreyAcumen I was wondering if that was the point he decided it meant something like that.

"HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THAT TATTOO? HOW MANY!?"

@@GreyAcumen "IT'S A UNION THING!!"

IT WAS YOUR JOB!?!?!

@@GhettPhocqued I WAS TRYING TO SO LOYALTY!!

I think only Taliesin mentioned he method acts Ashton on their side so he knows really absolutely nothing. It might not ever come up to him. It's Marisha and Liam who I think see the episodes back in their free time

truth. it hit them sooo hard with the stupidity / character attitude they just fell into it >.< blind side success was an easy check

He is hundreds of years old. Great RP by Travis...

He said "Alpha what?" because Orym said "Alpha male"

@@ala4sox02 I don't think he was pretending to forget *or* being confused about Orym saying "male". Orym wasn't there when Chetney talked about it with Imogen, so Travis used that to make it seem like Orym was into the idea of alpha males. Liam accidentally used meta knowledge his character shouldn't have, and then Chetney acts surprised because Orym knew about this acronym Chetney seemingly made up entirely on his own

I KNEW IT

Remember how the Hells met in C3. It was being attacked by enchanted furniture that NEVER got an explanation.

Ira enchanted those furniture

@@Lrbearclaw It was explained. Ira was making stuff that animated inanimate objects. He did this as a job for Treshi and his faction in Jrusar to create chaos and stuff in the city so that the "incompetent" city guards could be replaced by the Paragons Call

​@@T0NI_ Maybe Ira just imported them from Rexentrum...😀

Not just c2. Bell's Hells had to fight animate furniture several times in their first few months.

I caught that reference and legit lol'd. And then FCG was like "you made enchanted furniture?" Travis was behind the party al along!

@zachwillett5853 True. But the mentioning of the furniture moving to the middle of the room is what I was thinking of. 🤔

@savingpyro it was me, Barry. I was the one who made the Ikea furniture come to life.

@@kenco8679 Oh yeah absolutely.

Ira was working with stuff that animated furniture. It was revealed when they fought him early on.

@@Burninbodies ahhh I remember now, thanks!

Absolutely. Nearly dead on, she got that it was part of his job, and that it was mundane stuff, and that it had nothing to do with alphas.

I definitely put too much thought into it 😂 Also congrats on being the first person to notice the ones in the description!

@@BriannaZumbro I'm not sure if I'm the FIRST to notice it, but I will accept being the first to comment on it. XD

Oh, no. He knew FULL well what he was doing with that reveal. That face was all acting. It was perfect.

What?!? He organized the whole conversation so that he could make the reveal as pseudo-naturally as possible....and you think he didn't do it on purpose? Are you a human being or an AI?

Deanna: "I know he's a toxic idiot but I would STILL hit that. I'm sorry."

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

HOW DARE YOU But it fits.

They did do that… no explosion though….
