  2. Great concept, and the bakery is coming along very nicely. I don't think there is anything frumpy about it. Looking forward to seeing it progress!
  3. Congrats, @Darkdragon. Well played!
  4. The comment about the split personality had nothing to do with you backing off me. You seem to have two different writing styles - one for when you are defending yourself and one for when you are pursuing someone you think might be scum. I agree with the first part and have been distracted with other things which means I haven't had the bandwidth to do much more than just keep up with what is being said. Sorry to all the crew for that. See below for my reasons for voting for you. I stopped responding to you (and Deanna) because you were flogging a dead horse and I could have said "I need to pee" and you would find a way to make that a scummy statement. The reason for voting for you was not the split personality. I state in the second sentence in my post that the reason for voting was the reasons the Klingon provided. That would be the bit you left out when you quoted me. Here is Forg's post for reference: I was the third vote on Beverly on day one. In the same post where I voted I also questioned why Data and Geordie weren't voting for her if they also believed she was acting scumming. Here's an extract of that post. The first line is in response to Data not wanting to be a dick about voting for Beverly. The second line is in response to Geordie's post where he votes for Riker despite believing Beverly to be acting scummy. So, I voted early-ish on Beverly and encouraged two others to do the same - and if they did, Beverly would have the majority votes. If you believe that means I am scum, then we (that would be town) deserve to lose.
  5. Vote:Wesley (Pandora) because he has developed a split personality and I'm just not buying the responses. Worf's reasoning for voting for Wesley yesterday is pretty much why I am voting for Wesley today, he just said it much more eloquently. Odd statement given he is s Klingon, but true.
  6. I also think it is between Geordie and Wesley today. For now, Vote: Geordie LaForge (Kotz) as he initially voted for Riker despite considering Beverly scummy. He didn't change his vote until he was pressed on this. Vote: Extend the day
  7. Really? If I felt that strongly about voting for Troi, I would have done so. Let me rephrase what I wrote: If I were allowed two votes, then I would also place a vote on Troi; but I don't, so I will go stick with my first choice. What kind of logic is this? If they are scum, they have to go. I don't understand why you don't vote for Beverly if you think she is acting scummy as hell. Surely its better to vote for someone who is acting scummy than someone we have no read on whatsoever. OMUS is a spelling mistake that I can't fix because of the ship rules. Also, Unvote: Geordie LaForge (Kotz). Vote: Beverly Crusher (mostlytechnic) because I agree that she is acting scummy.
  8. This is what I objected to: I added the emphasis. Given I was the one who posted that I thought differently to Geordie on the day extension, I read this as you suggesting that I was scum. Not sure why you are asking me if Geordie voted for you? You know he didn't.
  9. Should have clarified - OMGUS (for suggesting I'm scum), rather than OMUS (for voting for me). Scum voting for each other is not outside the realm of possibilities. You suggested it yourself.
  10. I have it on good authority that the Australian version was a lot of fun. She hasn't seen the American version, so no idea how it compares in format. The captain needs new clothes (Beverley and I have date when this mess is all sorted) which means I may not be around when the day ends, so Vote: extend the day. But just in case it doesn't get extended for whatever reason, I am going to Vote: Goerdie LaForge (KotZ). Not much to go on at this stage, but I've never been comfortable with not being able to see his eye and I did note that he was quick to jump on board the notion that he was alone in this thinking. A notion which was conveniently provided to him by his scum buddy? And if I could I would also love to put an OMGUS vote on Troi.
  11. Maybe @Bob could clarify?
  12. I think the "once" in this rule means once per day, not once in the whole game.
  13. Anyone other than me. Q has his fun by making me squirm while I try and figure out what he has done. It's not me.
  14. Permission granted. Can't stand the sight of that guy.
  15. Picard on the bridge.
  16. Count me in!
  17. I should have looked a little closer - it definitely does look like one piece!
  18. I thinks it's two semi-circles and a square plate, like they did for the Friends heart boxes.
  19. Thank you! I was doing my best to post as if I was in a North America timezone! @jimmynick, it was 6 hours because I was fast asleep - the time stamp on your PM was 12.06AM! I actually thought you were on to me when, at some point, you asked me whether I needed to sleep before putting my vote in. Oh, that could have backfired on me big time. Never occurred to me that the player with the next most votes would have been lynched. And I wanted Zandder to do the double on Night 5, but didn't push him in case he thought something was up! I'm generally quite happy not to PM, but it would make the town game a lot harder and the Traveller role would have been very difficult without PMs! As you pointed out, the balance doesn't necessarily sway to town where PMs are allowed. Definitely need to use the Traveler role again. Sure! But I will be asking for a re-draw if the Traveler roles falls my way again in the next game! I need to breathe for a while.
  20. If it's any consolation, I did feel bad about using you like that and I was rooting for you at the end. I was town all the way until I sensed that I had lost Araveea's / Foog's support, and then the town vote on me sealed it. But it was pretty much too late at that stage. As it turned out, I think you and I could have both met our win conditions at the original one still applied. However, I couldn't undo my decision to accept the alternative win condition. I did thoroughly enjoy it, despite it being a mental rollercoaster. The last day or so in particular was so nerve-wracking. The first thing I did when I saw my role description was to ask if I could just be a vanilla townie. I was just kidding but at the same time it seemed quite daunting in terms of meeting the win condition and all the mechanics that I needed to keep track of. I probably annoyed Hinckley with all the questions I had. Thank you for your patience! For me personally, I found it quite challenging and it really pushed me out of my comfort zone. That was good thing in the end, and I feel I learnt quite a lot in this game despite having a few games under my belt already. On the mechanics, it was fun getting the scrolls. I did end up sitting on most of them for a while because maximising their value also meant revealing myself to the scroll giver. However, this gave me options in the end, like agreeing to protect Marwynn, while using the protection scroll given to me by town to protect scum. I was also immune to the first attempt by either side to kill me. I think I was most excited about this because I rarely last past the second night, so I thought I might actually survive past the third. I was a little disappointed there was no attempt to kill me at all and a little confused by the lack of kills early in the game. The wording in the role description meant that I (incorrectly) assumed that there was a town vig. I told both James and town that I didn't need or want protection, without explaining why. In hindsight, I'm not sure that I should have done so. @jimmynick, did you think about taking me out at any point after we had made contact? Overall, I think the Traveller role is a great addition to the game and added an element of uncertainty that had both sides on their toes. Someone with a better scumdar than I would probably have tipped this game too far in favour of scum. @jimmynick, you never queried the details of my win condition, seemingly happy with just knowing that I needed you alive and most of town dead to meet my win condition. The fact that you didn't query it that much had me constantly worried that you would off me if at any time you felt confident that he could win without me. I didn't tell town about the change as I didn't think there was anything to gain from it and then the paranoias set it and I sensed I didn't have town's support anyway. I said to Mark at one point that I have to remember the my first rule of mafia - Trust no-one, everyone lies about everything in Mafia. Although this has led to me being paranoid about just about everything! I think in this case, it was just the volume of them! On that, @Chromeknight, sorry for being such a bitch ignoring most of your attempts to talk to me. I really did just want to talk to as few people as possible to minimise the opportunities for getting caught out! I had pegged you as my fellow Aussie, which I think made it worse! Yes! Real english. I had to keep reminding myself to use just one L! I also thought that my best bet (on the initial win condition) would be to side with scum. But I stuffed up when I investigated Marwynn / Trekkie (using the Night 0 scroll) and he turned out to be town. So I had to rethink my strategy at that point. However, I was still convinced for a while after the investigation result that Marwynn / Trekkie was scum, largely based on him not seeming that keen for me to help town and his interactions with Zandder / James. I think a lot of what I 'saw' however was biased by me wanting him to be scum. Who had the Day 5 scroll?
  21. Thanks, @Hinckley for an awesome game. Back with more thoughts later on the Traveller role, but for now an apologies to pretty much everyone for all the lies. That would be the Day 3 scroll that Luxxon applied to Zandder / James, which gave him a double on his role, in this case scum killer role. Zandder, who had given me the Day 3 scroll, was able to choose what night he used it once I had applied it to his role.
  22. Looks great! I think a horizontal expansion makes more sense in this case, rather than spreading the salon over two or more levels to have all the features you have added to the interior.
  23. This is a gorgeous build, with loads of great details. I especially like the chimney pot and the front porch.
  24. 1. I hope so. 2. The Meg. 3. Mostly.
  25. No apology required. Just between you and me, I don't mind being the recipient of your ramblings!
