Yay bea!!!!!

DharmaHelper wrote:Misfits mafia was fun.

You FEB.

You nailed that game.

Even though the civvies got screwed, I admit I had a ball myself!

Made wrote:so, any spectacular performances i should know about? everyone here has won, so ya'll gotta have some stories pre Misfits.

- S~V~S and Bass helped ensure our evil victory in WWE, which started in '13 but didn't finish until after the new year. I got myself lynched on purpose (with a lynch switch) in a crazy-close lynch in that game to cause chaos... and it worked.
- Turnip Head swept the floor with the civvies in Harry Potter.
- S~V~S dominated as the independent Apocalypse in X-Men.
- juliets proved the best Smaug (serial killer) imaginable in The Hobbit.
- Black Rock proved the best Tyler Durden imaginable in Fight Club, despite timmer being the best Narrator and juliets being the best Marla imaginable.

That's all full games pre-Misfits.

Linki

timmer: Watch out if he isn't on your side. If he is on your side, listen to him.
Boomslang: Generally a bit quieter, but nonetheless possesses insight. He hasn't played a game in a while so my read of him will need some updating.

Woo, we're full!

CANNOT WAIT for this.

Nope!

So good to see you, reywaS!

Awesome!!!

Good to play with you as always, Russ and Snowy, and welcome back Boomslang!

Hello, fellow champion.

Yep! Made won Cars and he was previously ineligible. I imagine once he logs back on and sees his PMs, he'll come running here, since he really wanted to play.

We still need 5 champions, right? Let's get 'em playing. Now.

I presume others have seen this, but for anyone who hasn't:

This is so awesome. Thought I'd post it here due to the inclusion of The Hobbit roles.

If there is no objection (and the game is full), I can start a 48 hour Day 0 on New Years Day itself. Otherwise, the original plan was to begin the 3rd.

Sounds good. Either way works for me! Though I suppose the 3rd might be more preferable since I'll have a couple of day period where I'm out of commission driving back to Texas.

Also, this game is starting a couple of days after New Year's, right Epig?

Epignosis wrote:^Yep.

As I discussed with MP, anyone who wins a game this calendar year is eligible to participate in the 2014 GoC. However, the games that ended (or are ending) this month will have their themes most likely reflected in next year's game rather than this one.

Yep!

Also, there will be another game going on for Job #1 so that anyone wanting to play a second game, who dies in Champions, or is ineligible for Champions can still play in a normal full game.

Don't worry, Made, I'm sure you'll be eligible for the 2015 edition!

And so many games that had textile themes!

Haha, of course, how could I fail to mention?

By so many you mean one though, right?

Epignosis wrote:MP, we should cohost a Bioshock Infinite game.

Considering I already had that in mind for a future game but haven't developed the game fully yet, I'd be honored.

I think it would make an amazing game.

I've had it in the back of my mind since even before hosting the Bioshock game in 2013, but amid all my different games I've been developing it hasn't gotten the attention yet that it deserves.

But I promise it will come to this site and I will try my damnedest to do the theme justice. Partnering with Epig could make that even better.

Can't argue with that.

A top 5 is insanely difficult.

Epignosis wrote:Bioshock is the greatest video game ever.

No...not what I said. But it would rank in my top 5.

Yeah, I know. I'm not even sure it's my favorite, but if I did have to name a favorite, it probably would be Bioshock 9 times out of 10.

My top 5 is practically impossible, but it would consist of...

Bioshock
Bioshock Infinite
Super Mario World
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Maybe?

I don't know. Something like that.

Words cannot express how excited I am for this game to start.

Would you believe that one challenge in the game involves flying to someone 's house in order to physically Boston crab a player? That's part of the WWE event.

The player list is getting more epic by the day.

Butt if I sign up and then ask for a replacement again I will feel like super carp k.

The spirit of a Champion cannot be replaced.

Epignosis wrote:Come on, Lizzy! Pweeeeese!

Also, that's a first.

You should feel honored.

Lizzy wrote:I would really really love to do this (two roles from our game too *wipes tear*) butt I'm not sure I remember how to play and I'm not sure about my time management abilities.

This is unacceptable.

Okay, I can't stand the suspense. Send me my PM too!

You signed up, but you're not actually playing!

TWIST BEGINNING!

Don't worry, I'll come back in the Red Room thread.

That was so much fun!

Well, really, I just hate permissions when it comes to changeable votes and editing. The former is not associated with permission groups while the latter typically is, so for every single possible group every time a subforum's permissions are created or altered they have to be appropriately customized.

I went ahead and tinkered with the permission groups -- you should now be able to change your vote.

I hate permissions. :P

Mongoose wrote:I wish I could have been more active (in games) this year, but 2014 was nuts & butts.

I can relate.

I missed Harry Potter and X-Men due to tax season, which is unfortunate.

A lot of other full games I missed due to getting lynched really early.

Mongoose wrote:I've not been able to listen to that song since!

Lol, good times.

I loved getting to see how everyone handled their roles last time, but INH took the cake in terms of really playing his role to the extreme.

We should spam all these players until they play.

The roles are sweet, Epig. Totally loving your inclusions.

Also, I presume the number of players/roles is subject to however many players want to play, so it could theoretically end up being less or more than 30?

Thanks.

I do not want to run this with fewer than 30 roles, but I do not mind adding if it comes to that. There were 40 winners this year, so I'm counting on 75% of those people to sign up.

Totally understandable. And if anyone were to win a game before EOY and they hadn't previously, that would be an additional possible player.

Let's make this as big a player list as possible!

Also, the only role that I really miss who isn't currently in the player list is The Master.

I think that was S~V~S, to be honest.

Ahem.

I can't wait for this so badly!!!!!!!

I must say, I am absolutely loving your new interpretation of Tyler Durden. That is so awesome.
