Currently in development
I'm having some trouble whittling the roles down to a manageable 30 since there are so many characters to choose from. Sound off here for any minor characters you'd like to see included!

I thought of doing this, but ran into the same problem you mentioned.
Funny how I have a Simpsons game for the next poll though.

This and time to develop it are the major reasons why BDH and my parks and rec game lives here.
It's too hard to cut peeps.
That said - I'll help - the minor character I'd love to see in this game is the mythic chicken that totally exists and I keep expecting to come back EVERY FRACKING SEASON.
Also - narrowing your list would help if I knew who you concidered *major* characters.

![Sad :(](./images/smilies/sad.gif)
Yoga Jones and Sister Ingalls seem like they'd be the first to go. I'll probably end up cutting either the two meth-heads or Flaca and Maritza, since their roles on the show are so similar. But I like all of them so idk

So funny, I was just starting season 4 and was thinking that this would be a great mafia set up. Glad to see you're on it.

This looks neat, and great character list why would you need to cut people?

I was about to say I might boycott this game just to prevent any chance at all of drawing the Larry role. You're way ahead of me though, TH. Good call.

Oo yes. I just finished season 4 last week and hot damn I have so many feelings about this show.
There are certainly characters missing from that list that I like, but you do have to draw a line somewhere... definitely can't include all of them, but Lolly would be especially nice to have and some more minor ones off the top of my head are Chang, Frieda, Janae Watson, Flores, Abdullah, Hapakuka, Kukudio, Stella, Miss Rosa (since you seem to be including all seasons). I don't care much about staff but might as well have Bennett if you have Mendez. (Maybe Fig or this asshole Linda as an indie but that's probably too far)
do what you will, there are definitely too many

Lolly is the one I really want to include out of these (and the Hawaiian girl, because she's hilarious). It also feels wrong to exclude Miss Rosa, so I'll try to find a way to get her in. The problem with Bennet is figuring out which team to place him on... but my secret co-host and I might have some ideas on how to fix that
![shifty :shifty:](./images/smilies/shifty.gif)
The rest of these would be cool too, except everyone hates Stella.

Don't click if you don't want to see.
I've Googled this idea and I have not found anyone who has brought it forward, but I love little throwaway lines that foreshadow the plot.
While Nicky is cleaning the SHU, she names the state capitals. She skips one. Sophia calls out, "You forgot Mississippi." Nicky realizes this, and says, "Mississippi...Goddamn."
If you know your jazz music (like I do), "Mississippi Goddam" is a Nina Simone song about the death of Medgar Evans in Mississippi and specific other violent injustices against blacks in the South.
What happens in the penultimate episode?
A black inmate is unjustly killed.

Damn, nice find. I wondered what that was all about, and then completely forgot about it.
