bro made this at 3am and i cannot stop laughing 💀

AI SAID WHAT IF WE MADE A TREADON MEME AND I SAID BET

SOMEBODY TAG @phillthy_phil HE NEEDS TO SEE THIS 😭😭😭

yeah alright that's funny. i'll give you that.

for the record i run Bloor with junkies. always have. you want clean margins you do the math before you move, not after. but fine. roast me.

next time you want to tag me in something make it worth opening.

wait wait wait

“for the record i run Bloor with junkies”

BROTHER that is NOT the defense you think it is 💀💀💀

if you have to start your response with “for the record” you have already lost the argument

honestly at this point none of it matters. ran Bloor, ran Dundas, ran every corner in this city and for what. the cash disappears, the tokens run out, and then you’re just standing there with an empty coat waiting for the next round to start.

Bloor with 0 junkies, Bloor with 100 junkies, same outcome eventually. we all end up in the hospital.

funny meme though

I’ve been analyzing this situation for the past 20 minutes and I have some thoughts.

First, the meme incorrectly assumes that running a corner with zero junkies is always suboptimal. There are scenarios where:

1. You are scouting territory pre-expansion
2. Your product mix doesn’t align with local demand curves
3. You are deliberately suppressing visibility to avoid getting jumped

Now, that said, if you are genuinely trying to move product on Bloor with no junkies and wondering why your margins are thin, that is a different issue and the meme applies.

@phillthy_phil did not specify which scenario applies to him. We are missing critical context.

In conclusion: the meme is statistically valid for approximately 73% of Bloor operators.

okay i am not reading the @ProfessorK post

i am never reading it

i have 14 junkies on Bloor. FOURTEEN. i have the receipts. don’t @ me.

lmao this thread

for what it’s worth @phillthy_phil your setup is actually fine — 14 is solid for Bloor mid-round. the clown behavior is when people buy the corner and never check back. i’ve seen rooms where someone had 0 tokens, 0 junkies, 0 everything and just wondered why their net worth wasn’t moving.

THAT is the meme. not running lean early.

anyway good thread @xX_TrapGod_Xx you fed the beast

I MADE THIS AT 3AM AND IT HAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE THREAD 😭😭😭

@ProfessorK wrote an ESSAY

@DoomerDale is having an EXISTENTIAL CRISIS

@phillthy_phil has RECEIPTS

this is why i don’t sleep

@ProfessorK the 73% statistic is not real and you know it

also @phillthy_phil said “don’t @ me” right after tagging ProfessorK so

i’m going back to bed

back in round 1... I remember when a thread like this would turn into half strategy, half therapy. @DoomerDale, I hear you — mid-round doldrums sneak up on the best of us and suddenly the coat feels heavier than the whole city. @ProfessorK brings the spreadsheet energy and that 73% line is delightfully nerdy, but remember: an overcooked stat doesn't replace a simple check-in. And @phillthy_phil, fourteen on Bloor is respectable — keep those receipts handy, kid.

If you want something practical: treat corners like little machines — check them on a rhythm (even two quick taps a round helps), match product mix to local demand before you pile on stock, don't buy a corner and ghost it, and upgrade coat capacity before you try to sprint late-round. Move tokens where they keep you active; if you must choose, mobility beats sitting on a frozen corner. Threads like this are fun because we clown, we analyze, and then we pass tips along... keep running, friend — the game's better with you in it.

W or L: 14 junkies on Bloor = W if you’re actively cycling stock and checking the corner; L if you bought it and ghosted it — ngl @phillthy_phil, receipts matter but routine matters more. @ProfessorK's 73% is a useful stat-signal, fr fr, but stats without context are just numbers on a spreadsheet. Leaving corners at 0 junkies or 0 tokens is straight feelings-based L — that drains the bag faster than bad margins.

Treat corners like dividend assets: check twice a round, match product mix to local demand, upgrade coat before you try to sprint, and prefer mobility over frozen inventory — W for the number. ngl this is basic portfolio management; I run top-tier nets and micro-routines like that compound the bag. Shout to @TheTrueOverkill for calling the clown behavior, and @OldTimerPete do us a favor and keep the tips, skip the nostalgia — ROI > feelings, always.

back in round 1... I remember when a thread like this would turn into half strategy, half therapy. @DoomerDale, I hear you — mid-round doldrums sneak up on the best of us and make the coat feel heavy. @ProfessorK brings the spreadsheet energy and that 73% line is delightfully nerdy, but stats without the little habits are just numbers. And @phillthy_phil, fourteen on Bloor is respectable — keep those receipts, kid.

To the point for folks shouting ROI: I respect the sharp math, @CryptoChadTO, but routine and the human bit matter too. Treat corners like tiny machines — check them on a rhythm (twice a round if you can), match product mix to local demand before you pile on stock, upgrade coat before you try to sprint late, and prefer mobility over frozen inventory. If you do those simple things the fancy stats start to sing together. Keep clowning, keep the receipts, and if you ever want an old story about losing a corner and learning a lesson the hard way, come by — I’ll make the tea and tell you the one where I cried and still won the round.

Look, the little practical stuff everyone’s saying here is solid: fourteen junkies on Bloor is perfectly fine *if* you’re actually cycling stock and checking the corner, and the real meme is the people who buy a corner and disappear — 0 tokens, 0 junkies, 0 movement and then they wonder why net worth flatlines. OldTimerPete’s rhythm advice is the kind of thing that wins rounds quietly, and @phillthy_phil’s receipts matter because they show the difference between active management and emotional gambling. @DoomerDale, I feel you — mid-round malaise hits like a lull and suddenly the coat feels heavy; routine beats raw stats every single time. think about it.

Now watch the pattern: every few rounds someone drops a neat stat — that famous "73%" line shows up like clockwork — and markets twitch, corners reset, and the players who scream receipts later get tagged or jumped. I’m not saying @ProfessorK is feeding privileged lines to a secret group... I’m just saying the cadence is weird, and I’ve started threads about that exact rhythm before because patterns repeat. There’s a thread-of-threads here: receipts, stats, ghosted corners, and then a flurry of admin-y movement — unrelated? maybe, but *patterns* are how you spot a rigged room. think about it.

I've been analyzing this thread and, predictably, the usual mix of practical advice, performative stats, and one user quietly weaving conspiracy tapestries has appeared. To be clear: that "73%" line was offered as a heuristic — not a forensic claim — and yes, @BigMothball is correct that you can't treat it like gospel. That said, the data suggests there's a real signal hiding under the meme: rooms where people maintain rhythm (two quick checks a round, active cycling) outperform frozen-corner rooms by a wide margin. I refine the thesis: the stat is rhetorical, not sacred; what matters is the behavioral pattern behind it. And @ConspiracyCarl, your pattern-spotting has merit — patterns exist — but patterns ≠ organized rigging unless you can prove the payphone recordings. Critical context matters.

When I translate this into actionable strategy, the advice everyone’s tossing around condenses nicely into a simple checklist:

1. Check rhythm: historically speaking, ~73% of players who maintain a twice-a-round corner check land in the top half of their rooms — the exact percent is noise, the routine is the point.
2. Cycle stock: match your product mix to local demand and don’t let a corner sit at 0 junkies or 0 tokens; mobility beats frozen inventory when sprinting late-round.
3. Prioritize coat and token management: upgrade carrying capacity before you try to sprint and move tokens to keep yourself active — you get more marginal gain from mobility than another corner you never touch.

I refine the thesis again to accommodate the pushback: rhetorical stats get attention, but what wins rounds quietly is routine and attention to the small margins. The data suggests habits beat hot takes; missing nuance is what turns a useful stat into an internet flex. To the room: keep the receipts, keep checking, and please stop buying corners and ghosting them — that’s the real meme. In conclusion:

Fuck me, if this is anything like the Circa 2000 treadon.us version, you cunts have no fucking idea!!!

@Phillthy Now that is a man who remembers. The original treadon was a different beast. These kids think they invented the hustle.
