The Syndicate

Lunalee, if you could have any superpower, what would it be?

^Did you know beforehand that DH was Laura too? Because it would kind of make sense lore-wise, but if not, the odds of all of us going to the same place are pretty wild.

inh this is the craziest damn game I've ever played and I'm so fucking happy with how it turned out. I'll come back with more thoughts in a bit. Thank you so much! I dunno if the whole Heist MVP thing is still around, I haven't really heard anything about it in a while, so I assume it isn't, but yo...

GG scum, I missed out on most of the fun but you guys did great.

This was an insane game, and I'm sorry for lying to the people I lied to! I got lucky in a lot of respects, but Enrique really deserves props for that performance. Major kudos to INH too for making a game that had both awesome flavor and a ton of interesting mechanics I could barely get my brain aro...

Fisherman's Woman had a really nice feeling to it — intimate in a way that a lot of these singer-songwriter kind of albums go. She has a really listenable voice and at first I wanted to compare it to Newsom but they're both very different, too. I especially liked the verse melodies on "Sunny Ro...

A New Nature has a cool, sort of spooky vibe, but it felt a little too sluggish for me all around. The band constantly feels on the edge of making a big splash without getting there, or if they do it takes a little too long for me to stay captivated by it. I can totally see why other people would li...

Kites, what's your go-to pizza order?

Sure, Enrique. I'll float you some threes.

Sent!

I have a ton of cards actually, so if anybody else wants to play before day ends, let me know.

you too

Yeah, I'll play some.

Shiiiit ... I missed a lot and I can't keep track of who has cards and who doesn't. Who wants to challenge? I'll challenge you 3 times if you like. Burn off your 1's against me so you can go out and score points with your 2s and 3s Just lemme know. Actually maybe 2 times not 3, standby. Standing by!

Shiiiit ... I missed a lot and I can't keep track of who has cards and who doesn't. Who wants to challenge?

That might be the most ominous mod post I've ever seen in a Mafia game ...?

I don't feel down at all! There really is no account for taste so having feelings about someone else's feelings about music is not my thing

Oops.

@Marmot, where you at

Thanks for listening, everybody. I can't say I agree much with the running theme that the particular brand of indie here is ordinary, but I wasn't expecting people to take to it anywhere near as much as I do, so I'm glad you liked it. Onto this week's! I loved Los Campesinos! back when I discovered ...

I have been hardly lurking if you enter the BTSC with me.

I actually LOVE that scene. Something about it I find really moving, lol

The Palmer House is somewhere that I haven't been. Not that I really want to hang out there given that scenes from there in the show terrify me, but ah well. Have to do what scares us in Twin Peaks I guess. Especially in Twin Peaks!

I might not be around much tomorrow so I am taking an early spot

The comparisons being made in this thread are super interesting to me. Modest Mouse are one of my favorite bands and I've never thought of them as being that much alike, but then again, I can see how they have a lot of attributes in common: dense lyrics and big indie rock guitar sounds are a few. I ...

I pretty much always play on mobile and have a hard enough time figuring this game out with words, but thanks!

I just had a bowl of chicken ramen. It was regrettable.

If I am correct in my absolute guess here, then the mechanism might be; Each night area has a BTSC. Anyone who goes there can talk. Mafia can only kill someone who is where they are. If they kill someone who is where they are, then anyone else there is notified of it (but can't infodump). This feel...

MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue Mar 06, 2018 1:23 am Colin why did you choose the location you chose?

Enrique why did you ask Long Con and then Jay to go where you were going?

Honestly, I just picked it at random but I kinda feel like I should hop somewhere else, being alone in Twin Peaks is historically a bad idea.

If it's worth anything, I've seen Twin Peaks in full so I might be able to shed light on certain bits of stuff in this game when it comes up

LC! are one of my favorite bands and this album ranks very high in their discography for me. I have a lot of thoughts on it but for now I'll say that it's probably their most competent and all-around solid release (but not my favorite). Obviously, the vocal style of Gareth Campesinos doesn't bother ...

Yeah ... I’m ready.

For my recommendation ... https://t2.genius.com/unsafe/300x0/https%3A%2F%2Fimages.genius.com%2Fa874fda33f5c7e4daf3b57508ec48c74.785x785x1.jpg Los Campesinos! - No Blues / 2014 / Indie rock, indie pop / 10 tracks / 41:39 / YouTube , Spotify How much you like it (good or bad) might also be influenced ...

What's your favorite joke to tell?

A few other people here have talked about being far from knowledgeable when it comes to classical music and I'm definitely in that camp. I don't have more than just a cursory knowledge of the most famous pieces and definitely not the vocabulary to be able to really talk about it. If I'm listening to...

Iron_Dwarf, where does your username come from?

Like a really old Christopher Plummer. Like, even older than he looks right now.

are you tall? what color is your hair? what's your horoscope? do you believe in those? are you emotional or logical? what's your myers-briggs? I'm average height and have brown hair I'm a Virgo. I don't put any stock into it whatsoever, but if people get something out of all that, more power to the...

This is cool, I can get into something like this. I won't suggest an album until I've listened to this week's selection though, to prove my buy-in.

If you are playing this game you are James, and James has always been cool. So if you're not in the game, and wanna be cool ... you do the math.

If that happened to me I'd probably just throw in the towel, obviously the universe doesn't want me getting home that night. But you beat the universe, so kudos to you. I have a beard on and off and can grow a pretty good one, but I prefer being clean shaven (or just after) and having a mustache by ...

do you drive Colin? if you do, what's the worst thing about driving? what is your favorite means of transport? if you could visit one country for free right now, which country would it be? Yeah, it's impossible to live where I do without having a car to get around. I'm not a great driver but the wo...

@ColinIsCool , do you have any pets? And if so, can you share pictures? Yes, two dogs and we also have a parrot. I'll try to remember to get pictures later Hey, [mention]ColinIsCool[/mention]! Welcome (again) to the site! :D Here are some more music-related questions for you: - Do you know how to p...

You're a legend, you know that? Who are your favorite Mafia players from RYM? Yeah, not so sure about being a legend anymore, but thanks. I really liked playing with all the people here actually, dunya and Mac and JJJ and RDW and everybody else, so it's fortunate that they're all here. Mungbean, Ch...

hey JaggedJimmyJay, wanna tell Colin about the Bengals? :p The Bengals are shite, but the end of the year was fun. The Bengals put Colin's Bills in the playoffs and ended their drought. I suffered through a 15-year playoff drought, so I know how it feels when it ends. :nicenod: Andy Dalton is a Buf...

I campaigned for Bernie in 2016 a little so that's where my politics lay. I really liked Obama when he was president, I think he's a thoughtful and intelligent leader, although I wish he had been more forceful in his first term and on some issues all around. I think he ran as a progressive but gover...

@ColinIsCool, if you could interview one president (living or dead) who would it be or why? what made you major in journalism? do you care for sports at all? 1) That's a tough one. There are some who I think would be the most interesting to talk to — both Roosevelts, LBJ come to mind. But I wouldn'...

And I thought in Mafia it was the wine that was usually poisoned.

ColinIsCool Interrogation @ColinIsCool, to get things started: tell me 2 places you've lived, including where you're from originally and what you love/hate the most about each I've lived in pretty much the same area my whole life sort of near Buffalo, New York, but I did study abroad for a spell in...
