The Second Crash - Sign Ups

[JackJonespaw]

¬From the Journal of Dougal Logan, 19 of May, 2018

From the eighth to the fifteenth century, Norse settlers traveled West from their Scandanavian homeland and came upon what is now known as the British Isles.

With them, they took their ways of survival as well as their cultures and beliefs, and lived out many long and prosperous years on what came to be known as Scandinavian Scotland.

Any Norseman with a boat and a will to survive traveled West to these new lands.

War, of course, broke out between the Norse and the Gaelic peoples who populated the lands, but the Norse, as they always did, prevailed.

It was as if the gods themselves wanted the Norse to keep hold of these lands. They bid their creations to construct vast halls in their honor, some on the highest mountains, some in the depths of the caves. Every god chose where his hall was to be built, and by whom it would be built by.

Of course, these are just legends. In the present day, the Scandinavian culture of Scotland is minimal at best, extinct at worst. Today, tiny areas of Scotland, such as Shetland or the Highlands are being quarantined as numerous disappearances in the thousands have taken place. These areas are off-limits by all until the source is discovered and destroyed. These disappearances has been going on for nearly two years now, and it does not bode well for the future. It seems that nearly everyone who dares approach Scotland is driven off by some mysterious being. Everyone except us, of course...

Sign ups will end in a few days. So from like 3 - 19 days. Somewhere in that range. Plenty of time, basically. I'd love to fill up all these slots!

Also, we'll be taking a break from the game (if it's still going on at that point) on the week of the 22^nd. We'd rather have you spending time with your families and friends than us.

Signing up is easy, just answer these questions:

1.) Have you played in a Mafia game before? If not, do you get how it works?

2.) Will you be pretty free to play for however long this plays out (excluding the week of the 22^nd, of course)?

3.) Rate, from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest, how upset will you be with me if I don't get these pictures and days out on a totally prompt schedule (these pictures take a long time to edit)?

4.) If, in case you get angry, take it out on Danny, yea?

5.) If you were in a plane crash, what magical destination (like in Lost) would you prefer it crash on?

6.) Is Scotland, or is it not, the most peaceful and beautiful place in the entire world?

[mediumsnowman]

1.) Have you played in a Mafia game before? If not, do you get how it works?

Deja vu. You've hosted me before! I also played in Scooby-Doo mafia. That one didn't work out too well.

2.) Will you be pretty free to play for however long this plays out (excluding the week of the 22nd, of course)?

Yep. What the heck, I could play the week of the 22nd if I had to.

3.) Rate, from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest, how upset will you be with me if I don't get these pictures and days out on a totally prompt schedule (these pictures take a long time to edit)?

Very upset. I'll express my anger with lots and lots of emoticons.

4.) If, in case you get angry, take it out on Danny, yea?

Sure. I'll redirect my angry emoticons over to him.

5.) If you were in a plane crash, what magical destination (like in Lost) would you prefer it crash on?

Somewhere civilized so I could get the hell out of there. Or at least somewhere without massive spiders and other creepy-crawlies. I hate spiders.

6.) Is Scotland, or is it not, the most peaceful and beautiful place in the entire world?

Um.. I've never been there, so sure! I hear they have lots and lots of bagpipes, as well as herds of man-eating sheep. So the answer is yes.

1.) Have you played in a Mafia game before? If not, do you get how it works?

More or less.

2.) Will you be pretty free to play for however long this plays out (excluding the week of the 22^nd, of course)?

More or less. I have a job and a family which comes first, though.

3.) Rate, from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest, how upset will you be with me if I don't get these pictures and days out on a totally prompt schedule (these pictures take a long time to edit)?

4.) If, in case you get angry, take it out on Danny, yea?

OK.

5.) If you were in a plane crash, what magical destination (like in Lost) would you prefer it crash on?

Lord no.

[Dannylonglegs]

To clarify point 4, if we are late it is 100% my fault. Not because I'm at all related to the picture taking process, or the editing or anything, but rather, because everything is always my fault and you aught direct your negative feelings towards me. I am, by trade, a whipping-boy and a masochist, and take great pleasure in your cries of frustration. In fact, I enjoy my martinis with a drop of childrens' tears. It makes them taste better. I guess that also makes me a sadist.

Also, Hi, I'm Dougal Logan, and I will be your Flight Attendant Cohost.

Can you promise us that if not all the slots are filled, you will avoid unbalancing the game by making the ratio of town to scum fair?

1.) Have you played in a Mafia game before? If not, do you get how it works?

See signature.

2.) Will you be pretty free to play for however long this plays out (excluding the week of the 22^nd, of course)?

Yes, unless something unexpected comes up

3.) Rate, from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest, how upset will you be with me if I don't get these pictures and days out on a totally prompt schedule (these pictures take a long time to edit)

I agree with def; days are much more important than pictures; if you're running late, put the day up sans pictures. So 2 for pictures and 4 for days.

4.) If, in case you get angry, take it out on Danny, yeah?

I'll take it out on whoever pleases me. Your eagerness to shift blame to fellow hosts is noted.

5.) If you were in a plane crash, what magical destination (like in Lost) would you prefer it crash on?

I wouldn't prefer it to crash at all, but something with mythical creatures, please.

6.) Is Scotland, or is it not, the most peaceful and beautiful place in the entire world?

Don't know; I've never been there

[KotZ]

Yes, supposedely I've played before.

I charge an hourly rate of $5.95, so if you have the moolah, yes.

3.) Rate, from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest, how upset will you be with me if I don't get these pictures and days out on a totally prompt schedule (these pictures take a long time to edit)?

Scale of 1 to 5? Probably a 3. On a scale of 1 to Hinckley? Probably a 2.

4.) If, in case you get angry, take it out on Danny, yea?

Deal. Watch your back, Danny.

5.) If you were in a plane crash, what magical destination (like in Lost) would you prefer it crash on?

I hear there is this mystical place called Legoland. I would prefer to crash there.

6.) Is Scotland, or is it not, the most peaceful and beautiful place in the entire world?

I'm pretty sure shouts of "FREEDOM!" disturb the peace...

[JackJonespaw]

Can you promise us that if not all the slots are filled, you will avoid unbalancing the game by making the ratio of town to scum fair?

I was figuring a 3:1 scum to town ratio this game...but maybe I'll change it just for you.

[Dannylonglegs]

I can also guarantee that the game will be balanced. In fact, I will be the primary consultant on game-balance, as I have an impeccable record in regards to balancing games.

~Insectoid Aristocrat

I feel greatly reassured

[Dannylonglegs]

I feel greatly reassured

As King Minos is a connoisseur of sin, in Dante's Inferno, so too am I a connoisseur of bad game balance. this should lend me some insight into not repeating my mistakes here.

3.) Rate, from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest, how upset will you be with me if I don't get these pictures and days out on a totally prompt schedule (these pictures take a long time to edit)? Anywhere between 1-5 depending on the moment.

4.) If, in case you get angry, take it out on Danny, yea? It'll depend on how I feel on the moment.

5.) If you were in a plane crash, what magical destination (like in Lost) would you prefer it crash on? Some steampunk version of Victorian London.

6.) Is Scotland, or is it not, the most peaceful and beautiful place in the entire world? Peaceful ? Maybe. Beautiful ? Definitely Not.

[Cutcobra]

1) What's a "Mafia"? Oh no, my grandma warned me of these gangs!

2) I believe so.

3) 8/8 m8

4) May I take it out on every single Danny in the world?

5) Mystical, huh? It would be nice to land on a girlfriend or something.

6) I find the Lock Ness monster quite handsome, but aside from that, never been there.

[Dannylonglegs]

4) May I take it out on every single Danny in the world?

Nope! Just this Danny! Why would you ever need any other?

6) I find the Lock Ness monster quite handsome, but aside from that, never been there.

I know! He's a hunk!

~Insectoid Aristocrat

[JackJonespaw]

Nope! Just this Danny! Why would you ever need any other?

Maybe if this one gets old and worn?

[Dannylonglegs]

Maybe if this one gets old and worn?

True. That does happen to some Dannys. Well, if that happens to this one, just take him out behind the shed and give 'im a good one between the ears and I'll replace the Danny for free, and cover all shipping and handling fees.

Do we get any sort of Cyber Monday discount if we order our Dannys online?

Only if you purchase 75 dollars worth of Danny or Danny accessories.

If I have to spend $75 that's not much of a discount!

~Insectoid Aristocrat

What is $75 worth of Danny...? I think that's illegal where I'm from...

[JackJonespaw]

What is $75 worth of Danny...? I think that's illegal where I'm from...

Well first you'd have to calculator just how much a Danny is, and then divide from there. But don't worry, the $75 are any parts you want. Like a bag of candy!
