For my top movie it's close but I'd have to go for the Italian Job. There's always just been something fun and exciting about this movie to me.

Favorite band is Nickelback, no memes, completely legit for this. I use these qualifiers since no one believes me when I say this. To round out my top 3 I'd also include Set It Off and The Script

And it should be. Was supposed to have been delivered yesterday but they claimed to deliver it at a time when I was outside and know they weren't there. They claimed they didn't deliver because the driveway was blocked which is ???. Its blocked because it doesn't exist and I tood you to deliver it to the door or mailbox yesterday.

Still, argued with them for a few hours yesterday and gave very exacting instructions since I had to write a 2 page essay on my phone last night while I was doing this. So I am fairly certain I got my instructions across well this time and it should be fixed.

For the next 4.5 years, my main purpose in life is to finish up my undergraduate program, and then apply, make it into law school, and graduate from it.

Just try to set myself up for the rest of my life honestly.

Cheddar or Swiss by far.

The best place I've ever been would probably be Yellowstone, back when I hiked there a few years back.

Probably just a combination of the lush forests and a small waterfall that I saw when hiking through a section. And I've also been to Yosemite but that's it.

Can never go wrong with rock, indie, alt rock, grunge, most theatre, pop rock, or pop punk. As is rather obvious, I have a pretty definite music type.

I thought Yosemite was awesome, awesome, awesome. I've been twice and thoroughly enjoyed it both times. I didn't like Yellowstone as much.

Pawn, I think you said you wanted to go to law school. What kind of an attorney do you want to be and why or have you decided? Where do you hope to go to law school?

I haven't decided yet. I know that there are fields that I'm going to be avoiding like divorce (would hurt me emotionally), criminal (emotions + money), and IP (not enough of an engineering background). Beyond that I'm still searching through.

And as it is right now I'm still not sure where I want to go for law school.

I love the Lies of Locke Lamora series and the Mistborn Series.

I do listen to some podcasts with the main two being Welcome to Nightvale and The Magnus Archives. If it counts, Critical Role is one as well.

For games probably the cards games Mao and Stress, though I am always partial to Texas Hold Em and Blackjack.

Lol Pawn I worded the question poorly - I wanted to know what we haven't asked you (which you gave me) and for you to answer those questions - so:

What are your non-mafia hobbies?
What pets do you have or have you had, what are their names?

For non mafia hobbies, reading and chess are the obvious ones but I would be remiss to not include parkour, theater, and bouldering.

I currently have 1 dog and 3 cats. The dog is a pitbull named Sammy and she's a sweetheart. The cats are named Frick, Frack, and Freddy. Sadly all of them are back home while I'm stuck in

My favorite comedian is the one and only John Mulaney of course.

So this is gonna sound very weird put together but my two favorite TV shows are The Walking Dead and the new version of She-Ra. Walking Dead is just a love of the genre and growing up with a lot of the characters, even if I disagree heavily with some of the elements and paths the show took, especially under Scott Gimple's management.

The new She-Ra is a kids show and I will not deny that it shows that a fair bit. But when it decides to get serious and dark? It does it better than any show that I've ever seen and the proper second season finale (Season 2 was split into 2 halves because of Netflix so it's technically Season 3's finale) had me crying from start to finish which is something that very few shows can pull off. Couple that with the complex social dynamics and psychology involving the two main leads in Adora and Catra and I'm hooked. Legit though, I actually wrote a psych class paper on the two characters, the work they put into making character decisions make sense from their view is insane.

#3231

Wow [mention]Pawn Lelouch[/mention] very interesting. I had to look up parkour, I was not familiar with it. And She-Ra sounds like a cool show, especially for a kids show. I don't have Netflix unfortunately but when I get it I'll have to take a look. I had to veto the Walking Dead because I am squeamish about violence, blood, etc. and that whole was full of it. Thanks you for answering!

Bah, there's barely anyone being ripped apart by the zombies though. :v

#3233

Popping back in here that I just heard from a friend that Season 4 dropped recently and we never heard anything. And it's actually a full, 13 episode season rather than two half seasons like 2 and 3. So hell yes, hype. This is the perfect time to get into the show.

Lady Lambdadelta is a character in the Visual Novel and Anime Umineko no Naku Koro Ni. She is the Endless Witch of Certainty, and my name derives from that character. I chose it initially on MS to do some trolling and RP in mafia as her, but the name stuck and I enjoyed it, so I stuck with her.

I have been playing Mafia since.... 2006 maybe? Earlier if you count offline stuff. I was a beta tester for EpicMafia, and one of its very first accounts. I played on Facebook when the Mafia app was a thing, I played on a lot of places. Former mod for DLP, but mostly MafiaScum is my home. So let's cal it 15 years of Mafia to be safe. Also I play on Liar's Club Online.

My favourite non-mafia hobbies are board games, puzzles, escape rooms, anything I can think and compete in, and also Music, Movies, Literature, Videgames.....

Honestly I like a lot of everything and enjoy the time when I get to relax. I also like Reality Game Shows, and my favourite is The Genius or the Mole, both games I have played/hosted versions of.

I'd say I'm rather unique, but that Elli is the town version of me. My scum game is really about finding win conditions and getting to them more than anything else and Elli as a townie really does that. He understands more than anyone that, I think.

Maybe it's because we both played Chess, but Elli really understands how to work for win conditions and play to your outs.

I love escape rooms too! My boyfriend and I actually built a couple rough ones, and he worked in some professional ones for a while.

Also, we had a Genius game on this site last year! Super fun.

I like a lot of all music. But for the sake of keeping my recommends small, My favourite band right now is Bastille though, for sure. If I have to tell you to do one thing, listen to Bastille. They're so fucking good.
----------------------------------------
Favourite Anime.... god the list is so long it'd be easier to answer for each Genre, really.

For now, I'll give you a list of Anime I recommend to anyone who is in the scene and wants to watch more.

Serial Experiments Lain
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Noein: To Your Other Self
Ergo Proxy
Cowboy Bebop
Cardcaptor Sakura
Another
Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day
Mai HiME
Higurashi

That's just a list of 10 that I thnk are very good from a series of Genres and styles. I have a ton more than I think are great and a ton more I have enjoyed even if they aren't great. Seriously guys I watch so much anime.
------------------------------
Favourite video games is harder. It's hard for me because I prefer multiplayer video games over single player.

Like I love Dota and League for example.

Right now I love the Blackout Club.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines

Uh..... You Don't Know Jack, Secret World Legends. Divinity Original Sin 2.

-------------------------

Board games is the hardest because I own 150 different ones and counting up.

For me though, let me think about it... Let's name 5 games that people probably haven't played or heard of that they'd enjoy.

First off, Argent the Consortium. For fans of worker placements, this is one with Teeth. Its flavour (students in a magical school working for the player who is trying to become the Dean of the school... but everyone is a bit evil, this isn't Hogwarts, after all), it's mechanics (spells, rooms, mage powers, artefacts), it's win conditions (points don't matter as much as convincing secret voters who care about one specific thing to vote for you.) and it's replayability are just the best. So much to see, seriously so good.

Next, let's do a TRADING game that is just.... so fucking good. Sidereal Confluence is a game where players play as alien races trying to work together to benefit the galaxy... and gain prestige by doing so, to become the most renouned race in this galactic alliance. You do this by inventing new technologies and trading for resources to do so. You use those resources to run converters that take in resources and produce slightly more value of different resources. Everyone in the table knows the value of all the resources for each other, in general, but inspecific scarcity and need can change prices. Further, in this game there are two rules: 1) You may trade just about anything, including future deals. 2) All trades are binding, so there's no double crossing. It's a wonderful game to learn with 9 different Asymmetrical races to play and learn and is just so cool.

How about a War game now? I could say Twilight Imperium 4th Edition here and be pretty happy with that choice. That game is so fucking good and seriously if someone has a copy and you have 6 hours, play it. Just play it. But if you don't have a friend who owns it and you're not willing to drop 120 bucks on it, let's pick a more cost managable one. Inis is a four player war game where you need to make deals and play smart, because the drafting system decides what moves you can make with your forces in any given round, and will dictate how you can combat the ground and the world, and how you'll aim to win. Explaining the exact rules would take a while, but it doesn't take long to learn and takes a lot to master. Get yourself a group of strategy minded friends and sink into this game, because learning how to make deals when you're literally drafting the action cards you are allowed to play and trying to avoid someone winning when in the end only one of you can win, is hard. Plus, the Gaelic myth theme of Inis is fantastic, so it's worth a play.

Now how about... cooperative games. You've probably heard about a ton of them, there's lists all over. Let me tell you about one the lists miss. It's called Dead Men Tell No Tales and in it you and your friends play as a team of pirates raiding a Ghost Ship for its treasure while it burns, skeletons and ghosts of the dead crew try to take you down with them, and other nasty surprises may occur. The game is very dependent on players managing their turns well... and knowing when somoene else can do the job better. It's coolest mechanic? You have 5 actions in a turn, but any actions in a turn you don't use? You can GIFT to the next player, up to 5 actions. If any one shipmate dies, you all die, so it's very tense and the fire keep burning, so you gotta be fast and efficient.

Finally, let's talk about a short/small game to round this out. I know I missed a lot of game types (traitor games, for one: I know this site is Mafia focused though so if you want that you'll ask) but I'd be remiss to not talk about this game. Nevermore is a wonderful small game, a drafting game of sets and bluffing. Think of it akin to Hearts, but way more dangerous. You all play as cultists, trying to escape the curse of the Raven, while gathering enough gold to pay your way out and escape this hell. There are two ways to win. Be the last LIVING player who has not been turned into a Raven... or score 5 points. Will you poison your opponents hand? Stack yours?! or perhaps try and shoot the moon with 5 ravens, and make all your opponents suffer. It is a game of bluffing, so any move could be right.

Let me talk about one more game... it doesn't get a whole lot of attention, but it's just amazing. That said, I can't say it better than Quinns did in his review, so let me show you Cutthroat Caverns, as reviewed by Quinns of Shut up and Sit Down.

I think that's it for now! More questions, here we come haha

#3246

Nevermore is a really fun game, definitely second that recommendation.

#3247

[mention]Lady LambdaDelta[/mention] I'm going to concentrate on Movies and Literature -

- What are your top 5 movies and what movie are you looking forward to seeing, if any?
- What are your favorite books, fiction and non-fiction or biography or whatever you like to read?
- What book has made the biggest impact on you? It can be one you read as a child that really turned you on to reading or one that you read as an adult that made some other impact.

Not that I’m aware of, I’ve played it in person a couple times. I haven’t really looked though, so maybe!
