HOUSEKEEPING NOTICE: I wanted to let you all know with some lead time about my plans for the US holiday weekend and how they will impact the game.

Yes. The Day 1 poll screenshots have been added to the OP. It just took me longer than anticipated.

Happy birthday Dunya!

Hello all,

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I cannot get the game up and running tonight. I will send roles out tomorrow and Day 0 should begin around 9:00 p.m. EST.

Glad to see us reach 15- I'll have to re-randomize my roles now!

Looks like I will give this game until Wednesday night this week to pick up any additional players. We'll start hopefully Friday evening (EST).

I forgot to work up the rest of my subs for this. I'm sorry.

Hey cool. We've got 12. Not sure if 3v9 is unfair in a Mountainous format. If we could get one or two more folks to sign up, it should guarantee some equitable balance and we can get started.

We didn't really binge it, but my wife and I just finished season 1 of The Mandalorian. The first half of the season was okay but slow. The second half of the season was interesting at least.

I don't see why it was hyped up as much as it was.

Pi (1998) I really liked this one but my wife hated it. It's weird and eccentric, but that draws me in. It's Darren Aronofsky's directorial debut. It's low-budget, but that adds grit and intensity to the whole package. It blends science (math) and religion (numerology) in a very unique way. It migh...

Crazy Rich Asians (2008) This was a date night movie for my wife and I when the kids were away. It's actually a really fun movie, and probably up there with When Harry Met Sally for me. Most rom-coms are mediocre, but this one really keeps it fresh. 3.75 out of 5 The House (2017) In theory, putting...

Y’all need a mountainous game to run?

I’ll tune in if I am around and free!

do you think youre happier living in this generation that any past generation? I guess this generation. My parents were dead broke when they got married. Mom got pregnant with my sister at 16 and I came a year after that. In prior generations, my parents probably would have had more barriers in the...

Black licorice, no. I’m hit or miss on other flavors.

Yes. I found mine.

what's your fav thing to do when it's shit pouring rain outside?

Stay inside.

Still living in the same house, married to the same woman, with one kid in college and the other in high school. I'll probably still be at the same place of employment, perhaps having moved up in the ranks a notch. If not, I'll probably be a little bit more of a shell of myself, contemplating why I ...

I used to say two years in either direction, but I could see three years older or younger as acceptable now.

Yep just for the world cup!

Nice. Sure, why not.
