Metalmarsh89 wrote:3) Same two questions for Pink Floyd: favorite album and song? (feel free to elaborate)
Dark Side of the Moon *boring* and "High Hopes"
if you allow me to include solo works, then i've come to love David Gilmour's
On an Island more than all of the Pink Floyd albums, and "Where We Start" is one of my favorite songs period.

i am hopelessly obsessed with ultimate frisbee. i would play it daily if i could just find people who wanted to do it.
Metalmarsh89 wrote:6) Do you cook? If so, what is your favorite meal to cook?
i cook enough to survive. my favorite thing to make is probably spaghetti marinara, both because it's my favorite food and it's easy. i'm a vegetarian.
Metalmarsh89 wrote:7) What is your most fond memory of Ohio?
that's hard to say. maybe riding my bike through the suburbs and into the forests all over the Dayton area (where i'm from). i used to be on my bicycle constantly.
Metalmarsh89 wrote:8) Is there a favorite other place in Europe that you have visited or yearn to visit?
a couple of months ago i went on a 2.5 week trek across northern Europe (not counting Scandinavia). i visited Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam. all three were fantastic; my favorite was probably Amsterdam. the atmosphere of the city was great, and it was a ton of fun to roam the canal alleys and countless museums. in July i intend to visit Vienna, and i can't wait.
Metalmarsh89 wrote:9) What is your favorite smiley on the Syndicate?
this one really suits me as a mafia player.
Metalmarsh89 wrote:10) What is your favorite smiley not on the Syndicate?
i don't know of any way to display it here and i can't find it on Google, but there's one of a smiley snorting a line of coke that i've always dug
Metalmarsh89 wrote:11) Who is your favorite mafia player so far on the Syndicate that you did not know from before?
all y'all seem swell. Epignosis looks like a fun and infuriating challenge. i think i'll go with Golden, for seemingly being diversely skillfull, humble, and friendly.
Metalmarsh89 wrote:12) Do you prefer your mafia games to be numbered (like they seem to be on RYM) or not?
it does make it simple to reference old games i suppose. on RYM we only play one game at a time; it's sort of a community event. we play on the Off Topic forum, which we share with a bunch of people who never play mafia. so we can't really flood the board with mafia stuff or they'd complain (understandably). i'd love to see the RYM forums adopt a separate forum for games like this, and maybe they will in due time.
here's a list of all the games we've ever done:
