Wow, this escalated quickly.

Quinoa (/ˈkiːnwɑː/, from Quechua: kinwa),[2] a species of goosefoot (Chenopodium), is a grain crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal, as it is not a member of the true grass family. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beetroots, spinach and tumbleweeds. As a member of the Amaranthaceae family, it is related to and resembles amaranth, which is also a pseudocereal.

I think I'm allergic to it.

[Quinoa] plasma hypersensitivity, is a rare allergic reaction to proteins found in [quinoa].

Ok, I'll stop now.

Slightly more on-topic, this also reminds me of that bickering in Gone Girl about him pronouncing quinoa wrong (I also pronounced it wrong until seeing this movie).

I might play this game. Alas no Ridley Scott.

Posted: **Tue Dec 23, 2014 8:42 am**

Any time I see "pseudo" anything, I see it as "pseudopod"; not sure why.

Droopy underwear.

It most likely won't, Alison is either waiting for a few more players or taking into account the members that would rather have this kick off after the holidays.

In that case Alison, I can be your number twenty-three.

Yeah, this is by far the slowest time of the year for sign-ups, so I'm sure they'll pick up after New Year's. People are split between this and the Champions game as well, so once that gets started that'll help too, I would think.

We need a motherf***in' sorcerer.

Or just 10 more players.

Both options are welcome.

Posted: **Thu Jan 01, 2015 1:54 pm**

Or I could just play as 11 different roles.

Posted: **Fri Jan 02, 2015 11:50 am**

Can more people sign up for this please? I'm bored and I want to play.

Posted: **Sat Jan 03, 2015 9:58 am**

23 would be better than 32, frame-rate-wise.

Posted: **Wed Jan 07, 2015 11:36 am**

This game not started yet?

Posted: **Wed Jan 07, 2015 12:01 pm**

If a game with an accessible theme and a popular host is taking this long to fill, I shudder to think of my upcoming Harry Stephen Keeler mafia signups.

Posted: **Wed Jan 07, 2015 1:16 pm**

so has anyone here ever seen a movie

Posted: **Wed Jan 07, 2015 7:06 pm**

No we've only seen films.

Posted: **Thu Jan 15, 2015 2:25 pm**

Not that I'm saying he's a minimalist, but many of John Cage's own indications on how to play his pieces would make for intriguing Mafia game powers.
