That means worry... Riiiiiggght???

Illy, can you tell is about your fav Mafia memory?Oh geez. Okay, um.. One of my favorites was when I was Mayor in the Pirates of Carribean game, I was about to get lynched and I said "I have to be judicious" in my post thinking people would get it. They did get it, but because I ALSO said "I mayormaynot" which was totally unplanned so my big hint I dropped, totally didnt work but then it did.
What games stand out to you as great games you played? I loooved playing in Buffy it was the first time I actually wondered about the mechanics of the game itself.
Favourite mafia role?

Geez o pete. I loved being Dumbledore. I am a huge HP nerd so that was one of my favorites.

Who has two thumbs and forgot she said she would do this?? *points thumbs at chest* This woman!

fingersplints wrote:What is your favorite mafia role you ever had? Connecticut Avenue. Just kidding. I was the Jedi Exile in Sawyer540's Star Wars: The Mandalorian Wars:

Jedi Exile - Not much is known about this young jedi, but she or he will start out powerless and gain abilities as the game progresses.

Powers will be gained pending the survival of each night for the first four nights and are as follows:

1. A secret, extra vote for each voting period.
2. One pardon to be used on any person on any day.
3. The ability to deflect one's night power onto another person.
4. The ability to kill... with a catch: The Exile must kill his or her fellow Jedi before being allowed to kill others and will assume the role usually referred to as the "serial killer." If the Jedi Exile chooses not to kill his or her team mates and assume this win condition, then all of his or her powers will be forfeited.

I chose to go for the power, and I guess I ended up killing my BTSC teammates for it. I won that game, and it was awesome.

Being the Alpha Wolf in Once Upon A Crime, and had loads of fun and was close to a win when Lorab and her Hoe of Justice took me out.

Another LP awesome win was as the Tavern Wench in Shinny's Pirates: Terror on the High Seas... A truly memorable part happened when Slyce23, who was known to be the Voodoo Priest (protector) chose to protect me on a late-game crucial night when it was clear that the baddies would either kill me or him. He died, but that night I got info that won the Civvies the game.

On the Syndicate, Walter White and the Black Knight were both amazingly powerful roles that I was able to employ to excellent wins... especially memorable was when juliets theorized that I was acting like I did in a previous game where I was an Indy, and I went hard with that interpretation, which got me to the win.

And I have to mention the Absorbing Man. Freckles ran a game on The Piano called Build Your Own Mafia, where we got to make up our own roles. I made the Absorbing Man - any power used against me would fail, and then I would have that power to use when I wished. Unfortunately, the baddie team was way to awesome and figured me out at some point, and basically laughed at me as they took out all the Civvies around me and got a crushing win.

Where would you like to vacation that you have never been to before? Bora-Bora.

What is the best item from The Sandwich Shack? I love the BBC. That is, the Bacon Bacon Cheddar. Peameal bacon, regular bacon, and cheddar cheese on a kaiser bun. So good!

What kind of venues are you guys at so far? Mostly fairs and events like that. We're doing the Havelock Contry Jamboree in August, a five-day outdoor festival of country music where people camp out or stay in trailers the whole time.

(I'm fairly interested in the food trucks. keys and I thought of starting one here. My favorite brother in law has been doing it for years and he spends most of the summer out of the state traveling. I loved when he had ones nearby because he'd make me whatever I wanted. I've helped out some, but my favorite time to help was when he had a contract to sell outside of Ralph Wilson stadium. All those drunk Bills fans. lol I watched one chick miss her sausage and pour almost an entire bottle of ketchup down the front of her without even noticing lol Do you have any funny stories? ) A few. Last year at Havelock, there was a pretty blonde drunk girl hitting on me at the window when her drunk boyfriend was distracted... and another drunk guy at a different event commented that my co-worker's ass was awesome, until I let him know that she was a 14-year-old girl, and he looked sheepish and apologized. I didn't have the heart to let him know she was our daughter.

What is your favorite smilie you have made? Noble is my favourite. Followed closely by Grin.

Yeah yeah, BR just reminded me - that was on Revolution Mafia.

By the way, I don't know if you are aware, but Little Tiger posted over there recently.

RYM Game #26 (Half-Life theme) - i was G-Man, self-aligned. i had one of the most overpowered roles ever, but thankfully i didn't win with it. i just caused mayhem, laughed my ass off, and died. my abilities:

~ PGO - any attempt to night kill me would fail, and the player trying to do it would die instead
~ twice during the game during any night phase, i could send one player name to the mod. the following day phase, anyone who voted for that player would die (including me).

back then it was common on RYM for double lynches to be legal. so i set one up with a fake roleclaim suggesting i'd been able to ID one of two players as mafia (not both) without knowing which one. i placed my vote on the one i didn't name obviously. so, in addition to getting those two players lynched based on a complete b/s lie, i also caused this:

it was so beautiful.

Same answer, just cause as soon as a baddie saw that person die they'd kill me.

Speaking of which. Of all the times I have been a baddie on this site, I have not once gotten a chance to kill as a civvie.

But I guess that sort of role is uncommon anyway.

2) Diggz has never been to niagra either. Its super fun! And there are some great resteraunts on the Candadaland side I really srrsly have to just plan an east coast like month long thing. He's never been to DC either and neither of us have been to NYC. That said, with no Lorab in NCY why go?
3) Your welcome. But seriously. You guys rock. So much.
4) The correct answer to the juice quesion is NO JUICE!:mad: ..... (I was trying to be cute.)
5) LC - GET THAT GAL SOME PEARL EARINGS! I KNOW WHEN HER BIRTHDAY IS TOO IF YOU NEED REMINDING. :P
6) I totally get that "I've been cooking since I was old enough to st By the time I was 10 ir." My family per say wasn't professional but we were a big Italian family so you know, they put the slavesimeankids to work early. My mom worked in the industry - but she was always more bartener/server/front of the house. It's still my stronger suit professionally as well. Cooking is just something I'm facinated with and love to do at home for loved ones. I could never do it like you do it. If you ever open a resteraunt though, call me. I will work for you like there's no tomorrow! I'm really good at the stuff I know too!

bea wrote:Yea - every time you level up with this company you have to drug test. It obviously did not take me this long to do the peeing in a cup - it was more like that, a nap, work a shift, a nap and work another shift - now I have beer and I am here and happy! Yay! beer!!

So - questions:

What was the first thing you ever cooked for LC? Gosh, you know I don't remember.
At what age did you start cooking? My grandmother and mom both cooked professionally, so cooking has always been a life style. As soon as I could stir I guess? I was making my own pies and cookies by age of 8.
What is it that you love about doing what you do? What do you find challenging about doing what you do? I love cooking and I absolutely love doing a job right. When the people that hire us gush over the food I look like this guy. Our newest adventure is the food truck, this summer at several events people recognized us from a different event and told us they were so happy to see us because they knew they were going to have good food that day. What I find challenging is having your own business, I can't call in sick, I have to be on all of the time. No bad days for me.
How's the farm? Good, we made it through the winter hardly losing a bird at all. Everything is starting to turn to mud, spring is here.
How's the catering? Doing good, it's the time of year to focus on the food truck. I can't wait our first event will be Easter Sunday. I just finished a job for 80 tonight.
If Diggz and I came to Canadaland to visit the Rock Con's what kind of cool stuff would we do? We would drink a lot while playing games. We have a good assortment of board games and card games that we love to play while drinking... When Frex and iDave came to Canadaland we went to Niagara Falls, and Toronto. Frex rode a horse. These are all fun things.
What would you like to do if you came here to the desert? (Come for Christmas! Really. 4 years later and it's weird to me to see all the Christmas decorations and junk when it's like 70/80 out. Also - CHRISTMAS HOUSE!) If we came to you we would follow your lead. Never at Christmas though. I work catering jobs non-stop till about the 21st and then I have three days to make a perfect Christmas.
I know you love to cook, are you a healthy eater as well? Or are you a picky eater? I could eat more healthy, I have an addiction to the bad stuff, I'm also picky there are foods out there that are never entering my body.
Is there anything you cook that you personally don't like to eat? Anything Seafood. I use seafood in a lot of Hors D'oeuvres and have to get LC to test them for me.
If you found yourself with a "free" day - no kids, no job, no hubby, no animals to care for - how would you *most* like to spend said free day? So if I entered an alternate universe? Wow. I would lie in bed most of the day, watch movies that aren't animated and LC doesn't like. Then I would cook foods the rest of them complain about and eat it all (even leave the kitchen a mess) Then I would phone check in on kids, husband, animals and tell them I miss them all.
Not really a question, but something I've always wanted to tell you and I can't remember if I have or not. Back when DIggz and I were first getting to know each other we were very worried about some of the dramaships we saw on LP. To the point where we didn't really talk a lot about the fact that we were becoming a couple for a while. The way you and LC are has together online was something we both very much admired and aspired to be like. So thank you for showing us that it could work out minus the drama when we needed that example to look to. Thank you
What is your favorite color? Red always
If we locked all the Duchies in a room and left them in there till the last man was standing, who would be standing and why? (I had a field day watching JC trying to JC her way out of that question when I asked it on RM. I'm equally looking forward to your response for different reasons. ) Once upon a time I would say appje. After Recruitment 3, Typhoony hands down. I can't imagine a recruitment game without both of them in it though and I doubt aapje would come back. Can you tell me your reasons?
Do you prefer to play baddie, civ, or indy? Civ, I like to be able to say I told you so when they lynch me as a civ
What is your favorite thing about hosting? What is the most challenging part about hosting? Watching my game unfold, I work really hard at putting it together. Interacting with my players as well. The challenging part is agreeing on roles with LC, we have some creative differences when we work together.
How's the kidders doing? Mostly fine, it's been two weeks of hell with the youngest two. Monky man is still sick and Jamesers is randomly falling asleep. Don't know what to make of that. V is still my perfect lady though.
What is one completely self indulgent thing you would like but currently do not have? (LC - look at me doin' you a solid.) Pearl earrings to match the necklace my mom bought me for Christmas. Does that count as self indulgent?
What sorts of things do you get "giddy like a girl" about? Rings/engagements. I like happy.
What did you want to be when you grew up at age 10? 15? 20? How does that compare to the life you find yourself in now? 10 - Rock Star (I can't sing), 15 - ECE teacher (loved little ones), 20 - Cook, going into the family business.
What is something you've always wanted to learn to do, but haven't yet? Ski, like on a hill. I am a summer person so I water ski but never done that winter ski thing.
What would we be surprised to learn about you? I'm not a very surprising person.
What do you hope someone asks you but probably won't? "If I gave you a million dollars could I borrow your husband for one night?" We've discussed it, we're both ok with it.
Is man inherently good, evil, some combination of both or a blank slate? I believe we are born a blank slate, our experiences are what makes us good or evil.
What kind of music do you like to listen to? Rock/alternative. I have a secret fancy to country though.
what kind of books do you like to read? Sci fi/fantasy. I'll read anything that is good and recommended to me. I should open up to more. I read a lot. My favourite series is Ender's Game. Since I met LC I have read a lot of graphic novels and they are awesome, especially the Sandman series.
Do you want some juice? No, I have rye
What sorts of movies do you like? I'm a movie slut, I'll watch anything. Put a superhero in it and we're golden.
I just got a cast iron dutch oven that I have yet to break in. What do you recommend I make to initiate my new pot to the family that will really showcase why it's such an awesome cooking utensil?Too hard, what do you like to eat?

No. Of course not. I read what I wrote now and it sounds so mean! I homeschool my 13 year old. It's kinda fun. How to you like it?

Love it! It can get stressful at times of course, but it is one of my biggest joys in life. And we are a part of an awesome homeschool group/co-op that we attend every Thursday morning. The kids get to do awesome projects, learn about Science and History in a "classroom" setting, have holiday parties and field trips, and if there are a few minutes left before time to go home they get to play games like Heads Up Seven Up and Simon Says which are fun things I remember from elementary school and I am glad that even though my kids are homeschooled, they get those experiences as well.

Black Rock! 1. How old/what gender are your kids and what is one amazing and unique thing about each? My daughter Victoria (V) is 16 - She is the most responsible 16 year old ever. She is an old soul and a breeze to raise. My oldest son James is 5 almost 6 - He is the kindest soul ever. My third child is Tyler he is 2 - We call him Monkers and he is a curious, hilarious, mischievous monkey. We never have laughed so hard. We call James my son and Tyler is LC's son. I love to say "YOUR son is up to trouble again"
2. Epi and I started out with a long distant relationship talking on AOL IM as well. How long have you and LC been married and how did he propose? We are almost married 7 years, he proposed when we went to Dominican for a friends wedding. They had gazebos all over the resort and when we went through one we always stopped and kissed. One night he asked me to take a walk away from the group and we went through a gazebo when I went to kiss him he got down on one knee. I was shaking so hard I almost forgot to answer.
3. What's the best vacation you've ever taken and why? That should be easy but it is hard. Hands down the Dominican trip rocked, we were with a bunch of friends, drank hard, and I got engaged. Our honeymoon was lots of fun. We went to Vegas and gambled. I also have made two trips to see LP friends, we went to DC and hung out with Freckles, LoRab and Diamond Dog were there, Jonly Bonly, Sawyer 540 and more. Sorry dropping a lot of old names that aren't around anymore. Also we went to New York and stayed with LoRab for the LOST finale. Frex and iDave were there, Chris, redshirtforever, danHM and Lent and others. We watched the finale on a New York rooftop with some of the greatest LP members. I just couldn't say one.

Epignosis wrote:You are two creative forces. What is the conflict like between the two of you when you disagree on a creative decision? I constantly tell him no, then get him drunk and win.

How did you meet and know you wanted to be together? We had mutual friends, I lived about an hour and half from him so we talked a LOT on messenger (when messenger was cool) we agreed on a lot and found out we are the exact same. I then got him drunk and let him believe he seduced me. He later told me the clincher was V (my daughter) was such a great kid he knew I could make him good babies.

Does Long Con scream "rabbit8, rabbit8" in bed? Sometimes we use it as our safe word.

Golden wrote:What is your favourite mafia win? That would be Monopoly as well.
Who copes with an untimely NK better - you or LC? LC hands down, you should have seen the fit I pitched this afternoon.
As a host, is there a particular power that you like so much you would always include it if possible? The Hunger is a long time fav, my new fav is The Nesting Doll from recruitment 3, wait till you see what I did with that in recruitment 4

fingersplints wrote:Which of your pets is your favorite and why? My favourite died this year. He was my quarter horse stallion and my third son. Out of my living, probably my papillon Hali.
Are you or LC stricter with the kids? Depending on the moment. Probably him but neither of us are strict.
Are you allergic to anything other than sheep? A lot of environmental allergies, it's fun during allergy season on the farm.
What is your proudest mafia moment? My most recent is winning Monopoly. That was a hard win. My earliest was Firefly, that was my first baddie win, I had mine before LC and he already had his reputation.
