  1. I hope you don't think I'm being mean to you in debating the issue. I can understand your frustration and really respect the way you've dealt with the situation. You've expressed your frustration in a responsible and constructive manner. Except the comparison to Yakuza, apparently. That made Bob post a shit-storm pic. I hope you continue to play EB Mafia games.
  2. You're welcome! But, you didn't say what presents you got? What presents? What presents? What presents????
  3. There's more than one America. America is not the name of our country. Travelling abroad, I always say I'm from The States. I never say America, I try to avoid saying American, because we actually take up the Western Hemisphere. Grab a globe, buddy. South America is where Chile resides. There's even a Central America...
  4. It's in the Autumn! It's Vikings!!
  5. I would say it's just you. That's pretty standard for Mafia games on EB. And you had a protector? Scum rarely have that. Usually if there's a serial killer or something crazy like my bwankie in IMHOTEP. Town sometimes adds a role like inventor or mason as well. So, the Scum were actually a bit over-powered to start. If you hosted a game, what more power do you think the Scum would need. Keep in mind, being the informed minority gives them the upper hand in the first place. To be honest, it sounds like sour grapes. You're pointing to a typical Mafia setup and trying to cry foul, without even addressing that you are putting the neutrals in with the Town. Neutrals that weren't really helping us...at all. The Town did not have its own investigator in the beginning. You didn't need to bring it up. I addressed it several times on the writeboard and with Bob when he told me I had a one-shot. I don't feel like re-hashing it, so I'll probably just re-post what I told you guys on the writeboard, Bob handled it very well considering I had talked with Foog and darkdragon about their alignment. (Bad example too, sorry. I always feel a bit more inclined to talk to the opposite team after I die, as previously I couldn't figure the harm, and that's a bad habit that has to be broken immediately.) We talked at length, Bob and I, about how to handle that and I think Bob reached a fair decision. Not to mention, it was awesome, and fun for me to be able to do something! The Town really needed it and gave a kick at the perfect time. Of course you hate it. And as I said, I can see why. I'll get to posting my answers to you from the dead writeboard in a bit. As far as hosts sticking to setups found around "the internet" in quotes for some reason, what type of thing are you trying to avoid, Scum losing? Since the game lasted so long and swils was only a day from winning, where was the balance so off that you're still going on about it? I think the fact that on Day Eight it still could've gone either way is an indication of a well-balanced game. OK, I'll bite. With 14 players left and five Scum, you would've won? I don't really follow your logic. But, I'm sure you have an answer! I guess that is the good point we came to on the writeboard. I really think you're being a bit unfair to Bob, like he was wildly tweeking the game on a daily basis. I think it seems more strange to you since you were on the Scum team and, no doubt, had your plan in place and didn't like to see the plan upset. However, it would be nice for hosts to kind of lay out their hosting philosophy at the beginnings of games, without giving too much away of course, so that players can get an idea of what they're in for. And Shadows is right. The tree stump, added day vig and back-up investigator are not unprecedented, nor are they the craziest changes or additions we've seen on EB. So settle down, ScumbaRadish. Souper is not a word and dropping acronyms into everything is not a good communication skill. Do you want to kill the English language? Do you want to be able to communicate clearly in writing on your job applications, resume, college applications? Souper? Is that the cool way to spell super? Is spelling things wrong "in"? Is srs supposed to really be a word? I don't have time for vowels!! I can't stand when people chop up the English language and make things unreadable. I don't even like making people's usernames into acronyms. Just my opinion, but that opinion is that I think less of people who over use acronyms and goofy 1337 speak like "souper". Where's the ol' Hinck pic, darkdragon? *If I was Swils, I’d just have played sheep and voted for Draggy. No need to discuss things out. :sigh: Because it was painfully obvious that this was another bad sting. I'd commented on the baiting/stinging several times already, and wasn't about to bite. Yeah, that was me. Apathy was rampant from Brickdoctor on down the line of lynched townies... Nobody alive seemed to notice. You had five Actions including a protector and an investigation-immune Godfather/paranoid-gun-owner/killer. You weren't up against anything any Scum team in this gaming community hasn't been up against before but with bigger weapons and shinier tools. After Scumba was revealed, not even the Town could break into the Town core... You're talking about me! It didn't work anyway, but I would never even think about trying that again. FiberCon jerk. Shut up now. Seriously.
  6. Obviously you're to busy with "Uni" to read the frontpage: Or painfully slow as the case may be. Don't forget there were several days where nothing seemed to be moving. At least to those watching from the sidelines. Umm yeah ... ... that's something to strive for ... sure. fhomess, if you want a raw critique of your performance, or rather a scathingly constructive criticism, read the dead writeboard. I have lots to add, but I can't believe how burnt out I am about dissecting the tree stump. I'll try to add more to the conversation tomorrow, but tonight, since the game has finally concluded (that's not meant to be offensive, I loved this game) I'd like to give it and my mind a rest. Thanks for hosting, Bob! Awesome job.
  7. I've never seen it. The image url says "exclusive fig". Oh yeah? Where? What's the story?
  8. Poor fwoggy!

  11. I think you meant certaintly. Oh, you did say that.
  12. If every picture was the same except for the clock changing...
  13. You really can't tell that these four pictures aren't the same?
  14. He's not the only. All of our staff ask our members to post correctly. You can see it yourself in our Site Guidelines. There's a link conveniently placed in the signature of every staff member. Thank you.
  15. Interesting. I thought the problem was with the spelling of messenger.
  16. 2/10 stars. Need some work.
  17. Walters is dead, Shadows. You perhaps mean Wilder?
  18. Can you elaborate? I didn't read that one...
  19. Once upon a time in a story called Baritones, there was a two-shot day time vigilante...
