I want to sincerely thank you all for making this a success. Special thanks to: * my mods, Spacedaisy and Seanzie for letting me ask a zillion questions and for bringing me up to speed on the newfangled Mafia vernacular. Your patience and prudence has been much appreciated. I've known SpaceDaisy fo...

Felt - The New Fabrics Take Over The textiles made their way back to the amusement park, where they saw scraps of fleece. "I've got one more shot at this," said Felt. "I owe it to all of you." "I can't believe how many lives have been lost," said Taffeta. "Wait, i...

Wow, so does that gecko. I'm basically an ambassador for Siamese cats now, amirite.

Day 4: I Wanna See My Name in Neon Lights The cake took another life but it was unsuspected. The town took home leftovers to the carousel factory where they were staying. Some of the German chocolate cheesecake got lodged in Neon's throat. She erupted in a blaze of fire - as everyone knows, Neon an...

[insert vague answer here] Am I crazy or are there 15 roles and 16 players? No, not crazy, I just looked and yeah, 15 roles, 16 players. I don't count roles anymore, I haven't seen a secret role in ages. Is that still done? Or iirc there was a last minute sign up; maybe she made a new role and didn...

What's the minimum you need for this? We should get this going after Felt 3 ends! C'mon folks, let's ensure SD has enough players; this looks really good.

Oooh that means by Felt 3 Mafia winners will be eligible!

Night 3: Making Lemonade out of Lemonfairy "Wow, I've not eaten anything in ages!" cried Felt. "Let's stop at this patisserie to refuel. It's mostly got European cakes but it has cakes from the Americas too," said Taffeta. The group stopped for tea and cake. Almost everyone orde...

Merry Christmas to each and every player. I have had the most wonderful holiday. It was stressful and I was hating every moment of it… then Val said “mommy” For those who don’t know my daughter is non verbal autistic, and I just want to cry at this moment. It’s been an hour and a half and I’m STILL...

Christmas Day Optional Check-in What’s the worst gift you have ever received? Mine was at a White Elephant last year and consisted of an apparatus you attach to your toilet so you can flush it with your foot. Very gag gift vibes, Luckily, someone stole it off me and I got to choose another gift (wh...

Corduroy is a vanilla civ.

Day 3: Self-Voting for Democracy The group heavily mourned Dennis’s death while drinking spiked hot cocoas and arguing whether Die Hard and Meet Me in St. Louis are actually proper Christmas films. “It only takes place during Christmas; it doesn’t have any Yuletide themes!” Shouted Burlap. “Well th...

We have a winner!

EPIGNOSIS is the winner of the haiku challenge!

We got a new dog
We asked Scotty for a name
Dog is now named Sig

Congratulations, @Epignosis!

Hells bells. I was having a ghastly time with the links this evening. He really was tweed though. Just an insidious time, darlings.

Night 2: Hats Off; Gloves On After the debacle with the pennyfarthing collision, the textile group was noticeably frazzled and harried. The group decided to take a moment of respite in a nearby shop. "I think we should go into this haberdashery," said Corduroy. "No, the millinery!&qu...

Substitute Announcement: Effective immediately, Sig will be subbing in for sabie12. As a result, they have lucked into one full cycle of immunity as they catch up with the game. They cannot be targeted during Night 2, nor will they be on the Day 3 poll. The fact that Sig is subbing in should not be...

Gentle reminder for our dead folks to post in Dead Red.

CONTEST: Haiku 4 U Rules: Each player may submit ONE haiku in the traditional 5-7-5 to Mod Seanzie by the end of Night 2 (go by the deadline of the Night Poll). Mod Seanzie will compile all the timely-received submissions and will submit them to me without the authors' names attached. Do not send t...

Day 2: A Tragic Day Muslin led the good fabrics through a chase after seeing a scrap of Terrycloth. The group ran into a parade of pennyfarthings. "Wait, is that llama?" asked Brocade. "No, I think it's just a guy with a mustache," said Taffeta. "Wait, what is that ahead?&q...

My assistant brought her child to work yesterday and aside from the jumping contest we had, I also inadvertently taught her that Mongooseism.

Morning Prompt/Optional Check-In

What’s your favorite element on the periodic table? I’ve always been partial to argon, the most noble of gases.

Mid-day Optional Prompt

Let’s say you are the Grand Marshall of a parade. What vehicle would you choose to ride in? Get creative with your answer.

I think it would be funny to ride around in a bumper car.

Yep! Add me on discord at Mongoose#9312 and I’ll get you added @Golden

@Epignosis you may need to revote. I had to reset the poll because I was having trouble timing it properly to end tomorrow around 9:15pm. 48 hours would land us with me closing up shop at the yoga studio, so I gave y'all an extra hour to get your votes in.

Night 1: Not Amused After the calamity at the holiday party, the team knew it needed to act fast. "I found a scrap of terrycloth on the eastern trail," said Velour. Let's go!" said Velvet. "I love the mountains this time of year." The civilian textiles set out and happened ...

We got these new "peach skin" bamboo sheets and they are the most amazing sheets I've ever had. Better than hotel sheets.

Optional Mid-Day Check-in Prompt

If you could be any inanimate object for 24 hours, what would you pick and why?

I think I would pick an elevator. A surprising amount don't have CCTV and you would get to hear/see folks do things that they normally wouldn't when in a outwardly public space.

???! I thought EOD was at 9pm ET? Out of curiosity, did the poll not show as closed for anyone else? It showed as closed to me, but I wonder if it's because I changed my daylight savings time settings after I already set the the Day 1 Poll. I'll try to trigger the polls to end as close to 9pm as po...

Zero posts from Eps or TSP. @Mongoose do you know anything?
Are they being replaced or have they asked for a sub? Will you even bother answering these questions?

No news yet; stay tuned.

Late Afternoon Check In:

Let's say you could have your photo taken with any animal. What would you choose and why?

The holiday schedule is up on Post 1:viewtopic.php?p=997830#p997830. I know this isn't going to be ideal for all time zones, but we made it work the best we could. If anyone has any strong objections to this, shoot me an IM!

I should clarify that we are traveling together but to a different location for NYE (Atlanta to see The Indigo Girls!!!) than my family’s house for Christmas.

@Mongoose what does our Holiday schedule look like? I am have two Holiday parties next week, I personally celebrate Yule, and have family plans Friday and Saturday. I won't be around evenings pretty much all next week. And I bet we all have similar schedules. Will be be having extended phases, or h...
