There's a stage show of that?

Does a stage show even make sense for that?

It's garnered a lot of praise and many Olivers in London. Just opened on Broadway on the 5th.



Bea! I am! NPH currently is not in it, though. Sad, but still great!

I wanted to see Hedwig when we were in NYC but we missed NPH by about a week. Should still be great though. And you'll still get to see Idina Menzel in If/Then though, so I'm super jealous. Have fun!

Darillium was the location of the Singing Towers. The Eleventh Doctor took River Song to see these towers the last time she saw him before she went to the Library and met the Tenth Doctor. She told the Doctor in the Library that "the last time I saw you - the real you, the future you, I mean - you turned up on my doorstep with a new haircut and a suit. You took me to Darillium to see the Singing Towers. What a night that was. The towers sang and you cried. You wouldn't tell me why, but I suppose you knew it was time. My time. Time to come to the Library.

Circa 4,999,999,740, Catkind lived on the planet New Savannah. They were a primitive people at the time, and their natural resources were running low. The New Earth Empire came to New Savannah, and brought it and Catkind into the empire. They agreed to give the Cats autonomy until the year 5,000,000,000, when control would be given to the New Earth Empire. Within fifty years, Catkind had reached the same level of technology as the humans, and Catkind grew to distrust them. In order to avert a potential war, they left the Earth empire cities, which were then covered by empathic force fields, stopping any Cats from returning. Myths would spring up about these Cats, specifically about them being angry spirits.

In the intervening centuries, a cult sprang up to to oppose human influence. With the help of Bubastion, they destroyed the headquarters of Vedela Defense Systems, which controlled the force fields around the city. At the stroke of midnight at the start of 5,000,000,000, the forcefields were shut down and gigantic robots, disguised as undead Catkind, entered to the city. Unfortunately, Bubastion had programmed them to attack everyone, intending to use New Savannah for his own purposes. When Garrard Townsend, a member of the cult, learned they were being used, he turned the force fields back on and deactivated the robots.

Stormcage Containment Facility was a prison in the 52nd century of the highest security. River Song was a prisoner there and a frequent escapee, but always returned as her part of the charade to make the Silence think she actually killed the Doctor at Lake Silencio.

Though the staff were able to keep most of the prisoners in their cells, they failed endlessly with River Song. However, as she always returned after a breakout, they might have eventually given up on trying to stop her and left her to her own agenda.

Re: Dana, since people asked for clarification: I am confident that she is civvie this game. Even though I don’t know her super well just yet, I have interacted with her enough inside and outside of mafia to believe that she would be acting incredibly differently if she were baddie, and that she is generally really horrible at withholding the truth (I would say ask DH, Enrique, and Made for corroboration here, since they know her better than I do, but the first isn’t playing and the latter two are baddies, so...).

I additionally believe this because of the way Enrique casually and even intensely defended me and Dana all throughout the game for logical reasons, then near the end when he knew he was an inevitable lynch, turned around and said he agreed with us and defended us all game because we were on the same page, when that is simply not the case (anyone remember how Dana and I had a back and forth regarding Enrique, or how I attacked Enrique and disagreed with him vehemently about Epig? for just two examples). Consequently, the push by MM to look at Dana which he has been trying to accomplish for some time convinces me further of this (but I will examine this further when I go back to look at MM's posts).

Good one.
I think I was surprised. But more thoughts later on how it went down and the reasons for my voting pattern.

Is Snow Dog 2.0 allowed to talk as or give explanations for Snow Dog 1.0? I'm kind of actually really confused about the people replacing that were already previously in the game. Of course they get new roles and such, but they're still the same person with the same play style and all of that. What are the rules for this? As in, what are they allowed to do or say or talk about?

Why should he be restricted?

This post has a "sour grapes" feel to it, IMO. Like you are annoyed that Snowy did not stay dead.

Consequently, the push by MM to look at Dana which he has been trying to accomplish for some time convinces me further of this (but I will examine this further when I go back to look at MM's posts). Dana's attempts to discern baddie and civvie behavior this game, as well as her decoding, have struck me as absolutely genuine. Additionally, her absence is not uncharacteristic; I believe she is keeping busy with college and in addition she seems she can sometimes be shy but other times is not afraid to say on her mind, and as it applies to mafia I think it just depends on if she feels she can contribute. Anyone who wants proof should refer to Monty Python, where in the midpoint of the game for a significant period of time, she became very quiet, and when things slowed down, she fluctuated back to being active, and actually took the leading role for a few cycles, until her unexpected death. She was a civvie there. Consequently, she has given me no reason to believe she is baddie whatsoever and I believe examining her for baddie behavior is definitively misguided. Hope this helps.

I know I was not saving Made, and I incredibly strongly believe Dana was not. MM very well could have been, and I think he was. Enrique obviously was. Gotrees IDK but my eye is on him.

S~V~S, first, I have a question for you: What do you think of Roxy? Second, let me repeat: Your suspicion of me is ironic. Just think about that. Please reconsider. Your gut is wrong about me. You were right in your gut about me earlier on, and just because I believed Snow Dog to be bad doesn’t make me bad (nor Dana, for that matter). It means I was wrong. Seriously think about how it was to be on my team in WWE and all the countless games you’ve seen me play as a baddie and ask yourself if I would vote the way I did on D3 and D4 if I were Made’s teammate. If anyone was trying to save Made on D3, it was Enrique, MM, and maybe Gotrees. Enrique should be evident now that we know his role and how he voted on D4.

Seriously, think about this and ask yourself when I would ever defend a teammate like this. Never. THEN consider that I survived a kill attempt by the Cybermen so I cannot be on that team.

And if you doubt it, lynch me. I still feel conflicted about it, but at least you’d all learn something valuable.

I don't have the time until tonight, but I am pretty sure at that time I will be finally able to set aside some time to thoroughly go through MM's posts, and I've been wanting to for a while, so I will be doing so. I have mentioned throughout the game that some of his posts have bugged me, and his interactions with Enrique and Made right up until the end make me think he's the strongest lead we have right now for a Dalek teammate, though even if he's not I think he could be bad regardless. Thus, I feel he needs to be fairly examined, and I understand why he feels the way he does because no formal, comprehensive case has been brought. So if my analysis of his posts later tonight agrees with my nagging thoughts of him (or not), then you'll certainly be hearing from me about it sometime tonight either way, when I'm less busy.

Linki: Chris, try going through Dana's or Metalmarsh's posts. The most updated decoding for the baddie roles should be in either of those posts, I think. Looks like Rox beat me to it.

Linki: Rox, what do you think of MM?

See you folks later.

Yes, have so much fun in NYC. Can't wait to hear about Hedwig too.

Well, one was a baddie, and one is probably a baddie. Enrique's last-ditch comment about Dana looked like distancing to me. There's also the fact that he claimed that she was innocent earlier in the game, but she is suddenly bad because she is trying to lynch him, who is a baddie. I've pointed out reasons why I think Dana is bad, and I'm willing to revisit them.

Because Dana has not been trying to lynch Enrique while you have. However, I am reconsidering my view on you, because frankly I do think Enrique could be right that you two are teammates, but not because he wanted to be right.

The Doctor has foresaken me, so my chances of surviving the night are lower than ever. However, if I do survive, I'll be voting for you first thing in the morning.
