If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? [HERO'S PLUNGE]

Also, I can't believe it took this long, and I did have to double-take myself, because I knew I'd heard the quote from somewhere, but ^5 on the Pippin reference there SBell. (Incidentally Sunday I had to sub for a friend who's playing in a production of Big River. I sight-read the book for a double show. I'm proud of me.)

So glad it was picked up. Big River, I haven't heard the whole show and I've never seen it but what I know of it I enjoy.

You can take the Mafia Topic Title as a precursor to my Broadway Game which I am finishing up.

Dear B8 Mafia Community,

We need to have a talk.

When you're dead, you're dead. You don't need to 'LOL' that you were mislynched and you certainly don't need to tirade while the day is going on.

Have some courtesy for the game still going, and do all your self aggrandizing where it belongs -- in the post game topic. The second you break rules in order to whine, taunt, or boast you lose any credibility your argument might have had.

Thank you for time.

Yours truly,
FFDragon

I'm fine with people just saying 'good luck town' or some variant that doesn't really say anything else, or if they're tagging the topics on this board (not really needed on the mafia board, really). Anything else I'll agree with you there.

It's fun, thought the violin book's certainly got its moments. The overture is basically a three-page fiddle solo.

I'm hoping that's a summer game so I can play!

Dear FFD,

I can't help it if I can't conceal my superb modesty.

You're messing with me! You're messing with me, aren't you!?
You're making fun of me, aren't you!? Aren't you!? You definitely are! I'll murder you!

Yeah, when I get unjustly modkilled and the Host doesn't even own up to the fact that he truly effed up there, I'm gunna b**** and moan about it for a little bit. But surely stupidity like that will not happen again.

yeah even if it's unfair, take it up with the host out of the topic and wait until the postgame to get it out publicly. no need to pass the unfairness on!

--

It's not about unfairness, neither is it about the host. But I was just kidding anyway.

I can respect that apology.

I just want the community as a whole to start respecting the game again, or we're going to turn into PotD.

And no one wants that.

T'm sorry too..

--

'Good Lucks' and 'ohs' are still acceptable I assume?

--
Shining Force IV will rise!

Understandable. We all have bad days. Glad to hear you're doing better then.

And you weren't the only one that my open letter was addressed to either. One of them yes, but it really was to the community as a whole. A lot of people have been getting lax lately and no one has been calling it so I thought I needed to be 'that guy.' I personally don't understand even the need to give a 'good luck.' It should be common knowledge that you want your team to win. >_>

If you really need to say something, talk to the host about it. That's why they're there. Then in the end game topic, unleash all the hell you want. It's more fun that way anyway.

MOTHER F***ING INCEPTION HYPE

Ever since I started rolling scum every other game I've had a bigger cluster of wins than I've ever had in four years of playing mafia. "What a coincidence"

--
"Eet's game time..."

okay good that trainwreck done

--
"As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero." -Vaarsuvius, Order of the Stick

so I wrote this thing during night 2 of touhou mafia. decided I'd post it here because it's less about the specific game and more about 'being town.' also other stuff.

warning: may or may not make complete sense


{unresolved}

Just because it got resolved doesn't mean it wasn't a good incident. They all get resolved. - HGR

Those who cause incidents are the culprits. I'm sure of it.

My suitcase makes a loud scraping sound as I drag it through the snow. My fingers are turning to ice beneath my gloves. It is a seasonably cold night for Chicago in February, but we've been having an unseasonably warm winter and I've grown soft.

Soft and soft-minded, apparently.

Who is behind this incident? I continue gnawing on that question as I walk onward.

The train station is southwest, across the river. The walk there from my office is usually quite straightforward. But tonight, there is construction along South Wacker Drive, blocking the path westward. I'm forced farther and farther south as I try to find a way around.

Eventually I realize that I haven't been this far south since three and a half years ago, at a time when I was preoccupied with another incident.

* * *

Normally, if I'm visiting my parents over the weekend, then on Friday after work, I leave the office and walk to the Amtrak station to catch the evening train. But on that day three and a half years ago, the Friday evening train was sold out. Instead, I got a ticket for the Saturday morning train. I left my apartment early on Saturday morning, took the Metra downtown, and then began the walk to the Amtrak station.

All of this is setup for the fact that I was taking a different route than normal -- in particular, a route that was several blocks to the south of my normal route.

On that day, just like today, I was town. And I was hunted all day, and I escaped the lynch by the barest of margins, and the one who was lynched in my stead was also town. And that mislynch brought us to do or die.

The city was coated in the golden light of early morning. I walked through that golden light, through the surreal quiet of a slumbering downtown, and I racked my brain for a way out of our predicament. For a solution. For the truth.

And gradually I realized that I wasn't quite sure where I was any more.

It took me a while to catch on, because I was preoccupied with catching scum, and anyway, everything looked different in that deceptive morning light. But it grew clear that it was not just a trick of the light. The buildings and the streets were unfamiliar.

I was hoping beyond hope for a cop to claim and set everything straight. We had stumbled into town lynch after town lynch. We couldn't figure this one out on our own. We needed power roles to tell us what to do.

But I was on my own, and it was too late for me to retreat. Instead I kept moving west, telling myself that if I just kept moving forward, I would eventually come to something familiar, something that would show me the way.

As I crossed the river, there was a huge spider hanging from a web woven across the guardrails of the bridge. Golden sunlight danced across the strands of the web. I was mesmerized by the sight. It reminded me of the spider who had made its home right outside my living room window before the start of that game.

I later named that spider Koromaru, in memory of that incident.

another place and time, without a great divide, and we could be flying deadly high

I did eventually get to the train station, on that day three and a half years ago. I managed to catch my train and get back in time to make an impassioned plea to the town before being torn apart. I was the game-ending lynch.

Back in the present, I get past the blockade and proceed west. And when I cross the river, in the clear frigid night air, I realize two things. First, I am not quite as far south as I was three and a half years ago. Not quite that far gone. Second, since I've come through this area before, I recognize the way to go.

Within a few minutes I am safely inside the train station, my suitcase making a loud scraping noise as I drag it across the tiled floor. I look down and discover that one of the suitcase's wheels fell off during my walk to the station. I suppose those two journeys, plus all the ones in between, were too much for it. Incident resolution takes its toll.

Not that it matters. It is my job to find a way out of our predicament, a solution, the truth.

I keep walking.
