Art Vandelay on his way to steal another point from Chicago

I wouldn't say "most people", but I am a HUGE fan of onions in many different contexts and I know a few people who hate them. It's a great additive for flavor and texture if you do it right. Dinosaurs. Wildlife can be managed and it really isn't how it's portrayed in Jurassic Park. There's so much we'd have to do to compensate for a huge rise in sea level, though. Maybe something Wild West--I'll go with Dodge City Outlaws. 1. Your current GM steps down. Who would you like as their replacement? 2. What's your useless talent? 3. You can make any one bad-for-you food healthy with absolutely no changes to taste. What do you choose?

Is it all that close? 2.54% is the difference between your SV% being .900 and (over) .925. That's pretty significant when you look at it from the goaler perspective. Granted I'm too lazy to look into it too, but I'm not surprised.

Coolmath got me through pretty much my entire time in school. I never got tired of Bloons Tower Defense 3 and I even looked up and played a little bit of Stick War the other day because it popped into my head. I also spent a lot of my last winter break playing Victoria II, but then my computer updated and now no longer runs it If I have a good school-related reason to switch over to Windows in the fall, I'll do it.

yeeted lol

Love the energy from this thread!

Wow this is such a cool announcement

Art Vandelay Absolutely POPPING OFF today.

I'll admit I was disappointed to see two of them die on N1...I was waiting for the day phase chaos between them and the consig. This game was really fun to watch--both maf and arso had a legitimate shot at winning until last night. After N1 @Squidward was left completely unprotected Here's the spreadsheet, by the way.

The sun sets on Day 5. A bit early, perhaps. Seemingly catching wind of the MAFIOSO spot being handed to @Doomsday, Salem makes up their collective mind. As does @Squidward, the JAILOR, who has already made up his mind to execute @Lemorse7, an ARSONIST, and a fairly unlucky one, tonight. Come the morning of Day 6, there will be no more threats left against the Town. Though things were closer than one might expect right up until the last night phase, good has beaten evil in less than a week. CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNERS, THE TOWN...AND THE AMNESIAC! You're aware of my usual end-of-game spiel, but here it is again: THANK YOU to everyone who played in this game, and I hope you had fun! It might be a couple weeks or so, but I hope I can run another before I move. In the meantime, please find our closing credits below: @Adrest245 - GODFATHER @Advantage - INVESTIGATOR @BarzalGoat - CONSIGLIERE @Berocka - MEDUSA @Doomsday - JANITOR @Frozen Block - LOOKOUT @Goliathus - SERIAL KILLER @jacobcarson877 - INVESTIGATOR @jhatty8 - MEDIUM @Judas Graves - FRAMER @Lemorse7 - ARSONIST @MMFLEX - AMNESIAC @N0HBDY - RETRIBUTIONIST @NSG - BODYGUARD @omgitshim - TRANSPORTER @Ptyrell - POTION MASTER @Ricer13 - INVESTIGATOR @rory - COVEN LEADER @Squidward - JAILOR

*Gustav noises* Once AGAIN, Salem wakes up to find that two of its residents have killed each other... @MMFLEX the BODYGUARD and @BarzalGoat the MAFIOSO. Further, @Judas Graves was executed last night by the JAILOR. Judas was a FRAMER. We will likely be right on time tonight. List of living players (6)

After a brief waiting period, the day phase is over, and the Gustavening is upon us. We are executing @Ptyrell tonight, who has claimed to be a DOCTOR all along. Upon going through his belongings, the town finds... Tomorrow's day phase will likely kick off on the later side. List of living players (9)

One of the all-time greats! Congrats on a career well built.

Really just other than Su because Taro went later due to a different GM rule. I actually could have (and would have) picked him at the end of the 1st had I not been at work on draft day and been able to see a trade request, but I got home after the draft had started and Taro had already gone at 9.

*Gustav noises* It is time for DAY FOUR, and it is time to have a grand old time killing each other and whatnot. With an explosion of grapeshot, @rory becomes the first citizen to be executed by the JAILOR. They were... Further, @omgitshim is found behind the local Wawa, having ingested about 400 times the daily dose of iron in just a couple seconds. The second victim of the MAFIA, he was a TRANSPORTER. Last will: Expect this night phase to kick off (relatively) on time. I'll update if it doesn't. And last but not least... *Remembering noises* An AMNESIAC has remembered that they were a BODYGUARD. And truly last but not least, something I forgot to say last night but that you'd know was a standard game mechanic by now if you knew anything... ...the COVEN now possess the NECRONOMICON. List of living players (10):

Day phase time is over; let NIGHT PHASE commence. The all-knowing Gustav skims the forum and sees votes adding up for @Goliathus. I have no clue whether or not we have enough votes to lynch yet, but this was going to be a modkill tonight anyway so we'll call it a lynch. While I do hope all is well, Salem has just rid themselves of their... Our next day phase will (probably) kick off before 10 AM Eastern tomorrow. If not, it should definitely happen by 11. List of living players (12)

Thankfully for some, and not for others, Gustav is here to open the thread early. A fight seems to have broken out overnight just down the street from the Salem Wawa. Maybe there was a debate over hot and cold subs, I don't know--I'm not sure there's any other argument in this town worth killing each other over. Either way, @NSG is dead. He was... ...and so is @Adrest245... Please discuss. This night phase...I'm not sure about yet. I will try to open it on time, but no guarantees. List of living players (13)

I still cannot believe we had "VHL Vacation" as a theme. Imagine getting double the TPE because you wrote about your player going to the beach instead of looking at stats or something.

The sun sets, and so do @Berocka's chances of living. After just two days and one night, the town has decided they have who they want. Berocka was the MEDUSA. Tomorrow's day phase will begin really early IF I have time in the morning and really late if I do not. If the thread isn't open by 7:30 AM Eastern, sit back and relax. Either way, I'd appreciate your actions in as soon as is convenient. List of living players (15)

Yeah, the discussion those seasons (more than any others for some reason) focused on the share of a team's offense generated by that one player. I didn't say anything for either (and voted against myself in both because potential conflict of interest) but I can't complain about how things worked out. I wrote this article in S80 more or less wondering if it was the right choice. I think S82 was justified though. Oh, and as far as I'm aware Taro never even led the league in any category. I might have scraped top 3 in one thing or another once or twice, but that's as far up as I got. IMO Taro deserves to be remembered much more as the face of Davos than that of the league in his time.

Vote tracker: Berocka - 9 (eagles, NSG, hatty, Lemorse, Adrest, Ricer, Barzal, omg, Ptyrell) Votes needed: 9

*Gustav noises* It's the end of Night 1 in Salem, and it appears that the town council has finally shelled out some of their easy-earned tax money for a pair of statues in front of the local Wawa. On closer inspection, though, these simply appear to be @Advantage and @jacobcarson877, both turned to stone by the MEDUSA. You know what that means--no roles and wills for you. Across town, we also find @N0HBDY, who appears to have met more than one...difficulty, we'll call it. Shot by a member of the MAFIA and poisoned to death by the POTION MASTER, he was the town's RETRIBUTIONIST. A will was found: The town shall be left to discuss town-related happenings until 10 PM Eastern tonight, the normal time. List of living players (16)

What do you play? I was able to play trumpet through college--would certainly recommend even if it's not what you're studying!
