I could not have been more pleased.

BANNERS, get your banners!

Credit goes to LongCon. And, explosions since you asked.

Ricochet wrote:Lolwut, was that in the game or the BTSC? I have no recollection of it whatsoever.

Also, how about banners? Does LC usually make them?

Daisy makes them a lot too. She made the uber-twee and gorgeous Felt Mafia banners, for instance.

Long Con wrote:I'd be happy to make some banners, I'll wait and see if Mongoose needs me to, and get some creative direction from her if necessary.

Thanks, LC, that would be great!

Ric, check the first page -- sorry it took me a while to do, I just woke up (eep).

I actually LOL'd though.

Vote early, and I'll end early, if you like.

Have you seen the trailer to the new Susanne Bier film?


She is the director of After the Wedding and In a Better World, which is stellar, unless you are Ric/Vic.

Night 11: Wombat Your Mama Out All Night

Has anyone seen the music video for this song? It has some amazing cinematic themes.



Vompatti has died. It is now Day 12.

I wonder who is gonna die...

One second under the faucet can save you one month of misery.

No harm done thankfully, except now I need a new trashcan (and a new relaxing bath experience).

Dom wrote:*vote TH*

If everyone votes early, I'll end the day early.

Turnip Head wrote:Mongoose's answer was worded a little funky, maybe that's what is confusing LC. Can we get it one more time please Mongoose, just so there's no mistaking the answer:

If John Waters targets a player on Night 1, will that player be blocked on Night 1 or on Night 2?

S/he would be blocked Night 2.

That's amazing! Also, I think that label might be a meerkat.

Epignosis wrote:I edited the thread title on behalf of our busy hostess.

Thank you, uber-mod!

And now a word from Lang.

In any democratic vote a tie is mathematically the least likely and therefore often a very much deliberate outcome. As such it always makes us wonder who would benefit the most from such a non-result.

It was a bit of stretch to call her an actress instead of a dancer, but I just love her so much.

Did you see that doc about Pena?

Speaking of music videos, did you know that some of your favorite movie directors also direct music videos?

My favorite music video of all time was directed by Spike Jonze.


RIP Adam Yauch. Btw, did you know that Jonze was also married to fellow director Sofia Coppola?

Here is a copy and paste excerpt from Wiki, Vompatti style:

Spike Jonze is an American director, producer, screenwriter and actor, whose work includes music videos, commercials, film and television. He started his feature film directing career with Being John Malkovich (1999) and Adaptation (2002), both written by Charlie Kaufman, and then started movies with screenplays of his own with Where the Wild Things Are (2009) and Her (2013).

Jonze is well known for his music video collaborations with Fatboy Slim, Weezer, Beastie Boys, and Björk. He was a co-creator and executive producer of MTV's Jackass.[1] He is currently the creative director of VBS.tv.[2] He is part owner of skateboard company Girl Skateboards with riders Rick Howard and Mike Carroll.

He co-founded Directors Label, with filmmakers Chris Cunningham and Michel Gondry, and the Palm Pictures company.[3]

He has been nominated for four Academy Awards: Best Director for Being John Malkovich, and Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Song ("The Moon Song") for Her. He won the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay, the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Original Screenplay, and the 2014 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Her.


Such a great use of Arcade Fire in the soundtrack.

Bass has been killed by the Wild Things.

It is now Day 10. You have 48 hours to find who committed Sabotage.

Let's ask! Yo Mongoose, what happens in case of a tie?

MM quoted my response, but I will elaborate that my host policy of tie = no death comes out of my belief that lynches are the domain of the civs, whereas the night belongs to the denizens of the dark.
