Walter was the best part of Fringe!

Posted: **Wed Jul 08, 2015 4:45 pm**

He really is. He's just one of the best characters to ever show up on television, and the way he drives the whole plot of the show is really excellent.

Posted: **Wed Jul 08, 2015 6:18 pm**

To the extent that if I ever see an ad for anything with him in it (which happens a reasonable amount over here, since he crops up in Australian television a fair bit as well) I actually say to my wife 'oh look, Walter is in it'. Even LOTR I said that to her lol.

Posted: **Wed Jul 08, 2015 6:45 pm**

Walter was great, he even managed to redeem the last season.

Hello FZ! Let's answer questions

What annoys you most about other players?

Disagreement with me. But also silence. I like all the chatter in the world.

What do you do for fun other than play mafia?

Lately I've been exploring all the woods in my area, trying to mentally map any trails I can find, looking out for cool things, scaring birds, etc. I love going for big long jogs in the woods. My ankles and calves are currently covered in scrapes and bruises and things from some of the rougher days.
I also enjoy baseball and sometimes I play soccer, and I read lots of books, watch some movies and shows, play video games when I'm feeling lazy. Hiking is my favorite thing, though.

What is the greatest invention in the last 200 years?

This thing we're all currently using; the one that's full of cats and naked people. I wish we'd make better use of it, though.

If you could achieve anything, what would you want to achieve?

Peace of mind, happiness, satisfaction, etc. I have never been the type to set many particular or material goals for myself, but my aim has always been to be as comfortable and at peace with life as I can manage.
But, for a material/physical goal, I think I'd like to climb some mountains. And travel to every continent. Maybe get something published at some point in my life.

What intrigues you?

birds, jellyfish, people and their thoughts and ideas, plants, stars, language, mafia, this pain in my neck today, everything else I have not covered here.
My current fascination is Ancient Greek civilization. I'm reading Epicurus and Homer right now.

What would you say are your best and worst traits?

I'm very relaxed. I can't honestly remember the last time I experienced anger in earnest. This is an answer to both questions. I like my calm demeanor and positive attitude, but sometimes I also feel like it leaves me emotionally flat and I have a difficult time expressing myself or getting things done. I tend to procrastinate on a lot on minor things because "meh, they'll get done eventually".

What inspires you?

Is "life" a suitable answer? The simple fact of the existence of everything is wonderful and makes me want to take it all in. I'd like to get as much pleasure out of things as I can.
Forgive me if I'm starting to sound like a motivational speaker.

I liked how you summed it up as full of cats and naked people. But I expected you to call that the greatest invention.

Why did you decide to major in English?
Why are there so many wars? Why is it so hard to live in peace?
How much do you know about what's going on outside the US?
Would you say people answer the kind of questions you've been asked so far, in a way that mirrors how they really perceive themselves or how they would like to perceive themselves?

FZ. wrote:Why did you decide to major in English?

The only classes I really enjoyed in high school were English/creative writing and Latin. My school doesn't even offer any Latin courses, which still makes no sense to me. But that was never a choice of major, because do I look like a Roman to you? I've always liked stories and writing was a hobby when I was high school/beginning of college-aged, so being an English major seemed like a good idea. Some of my sentiments have changed but I am very pleased with my decision today.

Why are there so many wars? Why is it so hard to live in peace?

I don't know. Make them stop. Maybe people just have trust issues, and they disagree about things but have forgotten what those things are. Maybe it just makes them feel powerful, and they like power. Or to pretend they have power. Over each other. Isn't it enough just to have thumbs and higher reasoning?

How much do you know about what's going on outside the US?

I've come to understand that the rest of the world is full of things that aren't covered in cheese sauce. I've never been able to care about American politics, it's all a bunch of noise and silliness and I especially cannot stand the way we treat it all like one big spectacle. But that's just how we do things, I guess. I dunno. I've spent significant time outside the US each of the last two summers and thoroughly enjoyed every second of those experiences and learned a lot about people. Plus I've been using the internet for almost a decade now. I like the world, it's full of stuff. But I'm not really tuned into current events, domestic or international. Politics and pop culture are only a tiny piece of the world, though.

Would you say people answer the kind of questions you've been asked so far, in a way that mirrors how they really perceive themselves or how they would like to perceive themselves?

How they'd like to be perceived by others. We're always trying to convey a certain message, that's what communication is. It's tricky, to always be on top of what you are and how others view you simultaneously. I prefer to come off as truly and honestly as I can. Things tend to be less messy that way. I've not fabricated anything in my answers, I'm an honest townie I swear.

It's hard to remember all the games I have played, but a recent favourite is the complicated set of in-thread and map-based strategies we employed to win Flash Mafia... especially awesome because we were a baddie team without a kill!

Those guys are great, but they also piss me off sometimes. Metalmarsh is always fun on a bun!

Golden wrote:What is the longest con you have ever done?

You and your memory tests. I guess it's the scheme wherein I cooked up the entire identity of Long Con. I had been banned from Lostpedia forums as Cerberus (my original handle) but I had changed jobs and internet providers, so I was able to sign back up and integrate myself as a beloved member of the community before the idiot mods had figured it out. By the time they knew, banning Long Con would have caused a HUGE shitstorm, so they had to let it be.

I remember it, but the file is lost, unfortunately... hard drive crash with backups lost kind of thing... tumultuous times led to much loss. I can remake it.

What are you doing today? I cut down two big ugly half-dead prickly bushes at the side of our house (long time coming), and I trimmed back some other bushes, I cleaned a toilet that had gone too long without cleaning, and it was hard. I put putty in all the holes etc in the same bathroom, and sanded them, so the bathroom can be painted. Some time spent doing maintenance on Lego Ninjago things that get played with and lose pieces, I burned some garbage, I played a little Mafia, and I ordered a thing for Black Rock for our seventh anniversary.

Is it hot where you are? Yup.

How can you ever tell your kids "No" since they are so cute? (esp James <3) It's very difficult. And don't underestimate Tyler for a second, he's at probably the cutest age ever.

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.

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.

Wow. Little Tiger and I played back on STV. I want to say that she founded Revolution Mafia after she got suspended from STV. I may not recall that correctly but I'm pretty sure she was getting fed up with something somewhere and started her own forum. There were a number of folk who got suspended from STV. That poor mafia community imploded at least twice before the forum mods pulled the plug on mafia permanently.

Is it easier to co-host with your wife or solo? Solo hosting is the hardest ever. Hosting with BR is the way to go, no doubt.

Are there any themed games that you would like to see created? Infinity Gauntlet would be nice. I'd enjoy something based on R. A. Salvatore's Forgotten Realms books. Really, the roles and their abilities, interactions, and win conditions make a game awesome or not, but the theme does make a big difference to me.

3. What books have you read lately that you would recommend?
4. Do you watch TV? If so what are your favorite shows?

I'm sure I will have more questions but I'll throw these out to start.

1. I did just move and started a new job. In some ways, yeah, it's just what happens sometimes--but I'm hoping to be in my new position for a long time.

2. Jews, mostly, lol.

But really, there's always something to prep for--teaching, holidays, programs. Plus actually doing all those things. Plus meeting with people--whether because of logistical kinds of conversations or sharing ideas--or because they're having an issue and need to talk. Plus hospital visits and other pastoral care. Plus life cycle stuff--funerals never come at a good time.

And in my new job, I'm running the religious school (and all other learning). So right now, in addition to getting ready for the ridiculous number of holidays that we have in September/October, I'm also getting the school ready to open. And, you konw, trying to have a life.

3. I've been on a Graphic Novel kick lately. Marvel 1602 was phenomenal. I loved Y the Last Man. Astonishing X-Men I loved because Joss.

Also, not reading, but listened to the podcast Welcome to Nightvale (I had a really long drive from San Antonio to Delaware). Phenomenal story telling. Everyone should listen to it. You can start from the newest episodes and catch up--or start from the beginning. It is well worth your time.

4. You met me on a LOST forum, of course I watch tv.

I think the best shows now aren't actually on TV, though. Which is a whole interesting trend. I loved Unbreakable Kimmie Schmidt (and need to finish my mafia description for that one). House of Cards is phenomenal. Transparent was great. I binged Wet Hot American Summer this past weekend and fully enjoyed it.

So, so, so, so excited for the new Muppet Show. And for the next American Horror Story. I loved the most recent season less than the others, but I think it still had some excellent moments and have high hopes for the next season.

Where are you from and where do you live?
Do you know any Syndicate members personally?
What is your favorite sport?
Have you ever driven a Cadillac?
What is your favorite color?
What is your most memorable mafia moment?
Heiots, timmer, or Metalmarsh89?

Heiots, timmer, or Metalmarsh89?

I grew up in New Jersey. Currently live in Delaware. Just moved from San Antonio, TX.

I have become friends with several mafia-folk (and LP folk) over the years and have met a bunch of them. I have even played mafia in person with a few. Of current players on this site, I have hung out in person with: BR, LC, MP, Daisy, and I think that's it? Am I missing anyone who plays here?

Probably baseball. I'm a big Red Sox fan. I don't really play sports myself.

I have driven a Cadillac. My grandparents had one for years and still had it when I was of driving age. And for some time after. They took very good care of it and had it until my grandmother could no longer drive.

Either teal or wedgewood blue.

Favorite mafia moment...as a host for Angel Mafia (as in the tv show), when in end game, Diamond Dog completely manipulated Little Tiger into voting with him in end game, even though he was the serial killer, and went on to win the game.

As a player, I have 2. When I killed LC as the head wolf in Once Upon a Crime, it was great. It was only my second game. I was Tin Man, basically a ninja role. I gained BTSC very late in the game (I had to find another player, or they had to find me) and had no idea how to figure out who was bad (I had been mafia my first game and was horrible). Scocub, the host, let me choose the weapons I killed with, and for some reason, I kept choosing garden equipment (it made sense at the time). Towards end game, I figured out LC, and then killed him, and went on to win. It was my moment of--hey, I really do know how to play this.

My other favorite moment as a player was Heroes Mafia on LP. I was Arthur Patrelli, a neutral role. BTSC with Bea who was Nathan, I think. I was a secret role that absorbed powers and recruited her, I think. One of my favorite BTSC's!! Anyway, it was end game and it was fairly well known/assumed that I was neutral. But I had been playing the civ side very nicely all game. But the civs got very cocky about having the game won, and I decided it would be fun to turn the game around and I decided to be all out evil--made a deal with the mafia, turned on the civies, and won the game with the baddies.

And Metalmarsh89, for sure. Because, I mean, you asked questions and all.

What did you like most, and least, about San Antonio?

Did you ever see the Hill Country?

What (from a professional perspective) excites you most about your move to DE?

The same question, from a personal perspective?

Would you perform a wedding for internet friends? Non Jewish internet friends?

Other than DD (I think he is a given) who would you most like to see return to mafia?

I loved hosting with Illy. And when we co-hosted the first time, we got to speak on the phone which was awesome--she sounded exactly as her voice had sounded in my head. And we had a lot of fun writing together.

I've long counted aapje as my nemesis, dating way back to Matrix Mafia (and another couple of games around that same time where we were pitted against each other).

So, we have a holiday once a year called Purim, where basically we get dressed up in costume, get drunk, and eat cookies. Oh, and have carnivals. So, a lot of my costume pics are from that. The holiday celebrates the story told in the Book of Esther in the bible, and usually comes in March. So, a few times, I've dressed up as the Esther Bunny. Basically, bunny ears and a tiara and whatever other nonsense I feel like putting together. I also went as a sort of 80's punkrock look chick a couple of years ago--right before I shaved my head, so I had lots of hair that I could put colors in and put in spikes (that didn't stay, so it was just sectioned out). And I made up a whole back story on the costume.

The only CD player I own is in my car--I think it's a Jewish music CD from camp. I'm not positive though. I usually listen to Pandora in the car, and rarely use the CD player.

Ugh, favorite song? I'll go with Thunder Road. Ask me again tomorrow and I'll probably have a different answer.

Grasshopper, because then I could quote subtly live life getting people to quote "Kung Fu."

I loved the Smurfs. And actually still have my old smurf figurines. I also was a big Jetsons fan--and am amused that of all the technology on the show, the Jetsons phone is now actually fairly ubiquitous.

I loved Muppet Mafia!!! Such a fun game to host and another wonderful cohost!!! I've had good luck with cohosts. And we had a lot of fun with the roles in that game. I especially loved our Jim Henson role where we basically gave out either a punishment or a reward each day to the first person that used a certain word (we picked words ahead of time). Why was it your favorite game? You were team sesame street and were last standing on your team, iirc. Wait, I think you were last baddie standing. And rey was kermit who was basically your spy. I'm going it was because you lasted until pretty much end game and were last baddie standing on any team.
