I’ll narrow it down to 3: Crime and Punishment, Dune, and The Hobbit.

I’ve been pretty out of shape most of my life, so I’ve never been much of a hiker. Thanks to my job being physically demanding now, I’m in the best shape of my life so I’m kinda hoping to get into mountain climbing now that summer’s coming. My favorite natural spot is Pisgah State Park over in western NH by Keene. There’s about a 30 minute walk through the woods to get to a really nice secluded pond with high rocks to jump from and stuff. A great spot to go with brews and bros. Keene itself also has a nice short trail through the woods up to the top of this tall hill/small mountain with a great view overlooking the town. Also, although I did see the Old Man before he fell and loved him, I’ve gotta give a shout-out to the Indian Head Rock Profile, which I always thought was much cooler looking.

I approve of this cat.

It’s New Hampshire. I have my pride.

He’s almost 3! Is Lizzy your cat?

favorite alcoholic cocktail

Anything with a lot of chunks/pieces/swirls/whatever in it! I’m obsessed with Ben and Jerry’s, if I had to pick one of theirs I’d go with Boom Chocolotta Cookie Core. I eat way too much ice cream.

I’m definitely a beer boy through and through, so I rarely get cocktails, but I am partial to the occasional White Russian.

What state do you live in? Do you like it there? Best and worst thing about your city.

I try to be as apolitical as possible, so I really don’t like getting into questions like these, but I am pessimistic by nature and do not believe the world is going on a good direction.

I live in New Hampshire. Live free or die, motherfuckers!! It’s...alright. I love not having a state income tax. Hate the winter and how there’s not a lot of stuff to do. Best thing about it would probably be the White Mountains. I’m not the most outdoorsy guy but there’s certainly a lot of cool nature stuff around here. The worst thing about it is definitely the opioid crisis we’re having, cuz that’s really depressing.

I work for a beer distribution company. It's not a bad gig. Great benefits and there could be really solid money down the line.

Tell us about your username!

What hobbies do you enjoy outside of playing mafia?

Do you have any pets?

Man, I've been using this username since I started playing Runescape like 15 years ago. I have no idea why I chose it, I must have just thought gee willikers was a funny thing to say at the time.

I've got pretty simple hobbies. Music, film, reading, sports, food, and beer should about cover it.

I have a cat named Murph. He is my pride and joy.

It’s hard not to just say mafia, but I suppose I can expand on that a bit. The best thing about RYM OT was that it was a community of cool dudes on a website I’d be using daily regardless. I just don’t care enough to take that extra step to visit an offshoot forum or anything these days. It was nice to have the majority of my internet going-ons in one place. But yeah I really loved the community we had back in the mafia heyday, and met a bunch of super cool people.

Mafia takes a lot of energy out of me these days. I can only play a game every once and a little while. Plus I'm just busy with work and stuff.

Ah, late to my own interrogation. Well here goes!

dunya wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 2:00 pm gwilikers6, to get things started: what's the best movie you've seen recently?

have you graduated yet? what did you major in?

coffee or tea?

do you prefer to be town or scum in mafia?

what's your favorite game till today that you played in?


come on RYMers and Syndicators, let's make gwilly uncomfortable.

Well the latest addition to my 5 stars has been Why Don't You Play in Hell? Completely over the top wacky absurdity from the most interesting director working right now imo.

I graduated with a very reluctant degree in English. I went to college with the idea of being an English teacher, and soon realized that I would hate doing that. So I figured I had already put the money in and might as well finish, although I've always regretted going to college. I do not use my degree and have no real intention of using it.

I guess I prefer tea, but I drink coffee every day and tea less often. Convenience is the name of the game.

I definitely prefer being scum, although it hasn't happened too often in my time playing mafia. I have always been awful at scum hunting and don't like the pressure of having to make decisions about who is scum and who is town. I'm a lot better at making bullshit cases when scum than I am at making real cases as town. Plus, I'm almost never suspected by anyone when I play mafia, regardless of alignment, so that helps.

I had a really good time in the celebrity game that Choutas hosted on RYM. It's been the only time I've really masterminded a game as scum and singlehandedly propelled my team to victory. And also since you guys are bringing it up, the Twilight game was a blast even though it was a bit broken. I really miss the behind-the-scenes networking of the early RYM games, even though I realize it probably gave town an unfair advantage.

Not in order:
Crimson Glory - Crimson Glory
Fates Warning - Awaken the Guardian
Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny
Queensryche - The Warning
Virgin Steele - The Marriage of Heaven and Hell pt. 2

Dang we have very similar tastes, very cool.

I keep forgetting about this. Kites my dude, I know you're a fellow 5-starrer of Cloven Hoof on RYM. What would you say are your top five metal albums?

I know I missed [mention]rundontwalk[/mention], but curious if you've gotten the chance to go to a lot of cool country shows, being from Texas?
