Glorfindel wrote:Welcome, Leetic . I find your avatar mildly disturbing. Is there a story behind why you chose that image?

I think it's because of someone's joke/comment in AoT that a more threatening avatar will cause people to take you more seriously. I could change it, it's just that I don't currently have anything better to change it to

Do you drink birch beer? If so, what is your favorite color of birch beer?

I drink it, and I prefer it clear.

Be honest- is Yuengling overrated?

I have no idea. I'm not even above the legal drinking age, haha.

Do you call them Whoopie Pies or Gobs?

Whoopie Pies.

What is your opinion on scrapple?

It's one of the most disgusting things I've tasted.

Steelers or Eagles?

Eagles.

Penn State or Pitt?

Penn State.

You'ns or Yins?

Neither is in common use in the Coal Region, "yous" is the preferred plural of "you"

fingersplints wrote:What is bulbagarden?

forums.bulbagarden.net/index It's my home website, which I moderate.

Have you ever hosted a mafia game before? What theme would you most like to host?

I've hosted two on Bulbagarden: Monty Python Mafia and US Presidential Election 2016 Mafia. I was also a co-host in Gameshow Mafia, but I consider Jsach the real host as he came up with the rules and mechanics. I plan to host Blues Brothers Mafia and 'Weird Al' Yankovic Mafia.

What is a mafia role you haven't had, but would like to?

A Serial Killer. An Independent in general, since I've never received such a role.

What else do you like to do in your free time? Favorite tv show? Favorite book?

I like hiking, swimming, and video games. Favorite TV show is BoJack Horseman, favorite book is probably one of the Oregon Files books by Carl Cussler.

First of all, I think a song needs a decent amount of energy. I don't really like slow, downbeat songs such as "Hello" by Adele or "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. Another thing a song needs is a good amount of variety, if a song (especially the vocals) just repeats the same thing over and over again it's going to be boring. And I don't generally mind electronic effects, but if you overuse them (think "Tik Tok" by Kesha) it just sounds processed. Come to think of it, it's much easier to describe qualities I don't like in a song then ones I do. Still, about 95% of the music I listen to is guitar-driven, so there's that.

G-Man wrote:1) How did you discover the game of mafia?

My first experience was in the GameFAQs Smash 4 board, where I signed up for a game, however the mods shut it down before it started. Later, my first completed game was in Bulbagarden, where I was a forum regular prior.

2) What led you to The Syndicate?

A few members of this site played in the Bulbagarden game The 100 Mafia, by DrumBeats.

3) What is the favorite role you ever had (good or bad)?

Mafia Silencer. It was admittedly OP, but it was fun to block the town leader using that role.

4) What part of PA coal country are you from? I live near Harrisburg and my wife and daughter just went to Knoebels last Thursday. Do you live near Elysburg or are you further north?

I'm from the southern part of the Coal Region, near Pottsville. Elysburg is about 45 minutes by car from where I am.
