Thanks! I highly recommend it! Mafia's a lot of fun, and even if you don't want to play, mine ll be chock-full of Spacey goodness, so I'm sure you'd enjoy watching it and seeing my builds in a different light. and with edits by the illustrative JJP! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Did you see my Cat A? (Of course you did. It's in the intro to this topic. ) To give you some perspective.... my Cat B is bigger. Frogs. Sign ups end in one hour. Now's your chance, people I've seen lurking in this topic but who haven't posted a sign up! Now's your chance! Yes, that means you. You know who you are. Join us! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

The panic attack had more to do with what I'm building for AG today/tonight.... SHIPs are a Seriously Huge Investment in Proper-sanity... Yes! Please join, fence sitters! JJP doesn't bite! Sign ups will end in about 6 hours. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Nothings solid till the sign ups close, but hopefully you'll like what I pick for ya! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Sorry, the characters and their punny names have actually been built for a month now, it's just the assignment I'm still working on. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

I know how links work. My humour is as dry as the gin in my gin and tonic. Oh... so you haven't even gotten to the new series yet... *scribbles something out* ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Link doesn't show as blue for me... kinda a purple colour... Out of curiosity, which Doctor is your favorite... ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Those poems speak to me on a personal level. I'll just give it to someone else! Were you able to understand what was going on in Ragnarok? I saw you watching it from time to time. Forum based Mafia is a bit different than highschool lunch table based mafia. Here's a good resource for first timers to Eurobrick's Mafia community, and here is a less cohesive, but more aesthetically pleasing guide to a few of the roles one may encounter therein. This is not a school game, so I will give priority to those who have passed a Mafia school, or those who have been playing since before mafia schools were mandated and never had to play one (many did regardless ), but your application has been noted. For those who have not yet played or passed, I will keep an extra eye out for, and try to be as helpful as possible in regards to making your first (ish) game of Mafia here a good experience, so feel free to ask me questions if you get confused. I can confirm this. Xenophobic Monoxide, you are free to sign up. No promises that you will get in, as I will give priority to those who have passed, but assuming we're still a player or two short by the time sign-ups close, then you're welcome to join. Sign-ups will end in about 24 hours. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Well, if you've played 2 games already, then I'm sure you know what you're doing. I'll ask Draggy what he thinks, but you can certainly apply. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Oooh! Sexy! I love it! The shaping is superb, and I love the use of the Ant wings! Great job! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

The only thing that would make me hesitant is if you "Failed" a Mafia school. then I'd probably ask Draggy first, since there are rules about that. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Anyone know if Velma will appear in a cheaper set? I'd love her figure, but the price is too damn high for the Haunted House set. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Evidently the Branchburg (NJ) Lego store is sold out of them, as they released them last tuesday. Their next shipment will be in this Tuesday. How frustrating! I gotta get those flies! On an unrelated note, I picked up another sale-price Classic Space Mech while I was there looking for the minifigs. Shop clerk convinced me. That thing is such a steal! damn that shop clerk! This is why I'm always broke! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Ok, I'm still looking for 3 to 4 more players. I will take some new players if they can demonstrate a knowledge of the game. Hopefully, if we meet the player quota, we can close this thread before the weekend ends. Thanks! Hopefully you'll get a spot in my next game if this one goes well, or vice versa! Good luck! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Yes... a Dynamic me. Great flavor text! Thanks for translating that! My German is really bad! So I guess this makes the Aliens from the Insectoids theme and the Aliens from the UFO theme one and the same... interesting! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Yay! I love it! I'll start a band, I think! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Alright! Great turn out so far! I'm still looking for a few more players, but I plan to keep this open till late in the weekend at least, so we'very got time. Also, some really awesome poetry, guys! But... in Shadows we trust... That'll work! Blacktron indeed! I said respond to my demands! I'm beginning to question your ability to read! I highly advise Steven Universe. once you get like midway through it becomes really really good. My favorite character appears in Warp Tour. That's deep. Yes. Very good sci-fi, that. Wise choice! There's actually a 24 hour loop version if you want the link! I can neither confirm nor deny that there are definitely hints in the educational video. Tragic that! I love anything involving Giger, so I'm just so sad that his dune never happened. We're you "not passed" in a school? Cause I'll accept a few new players if they can demonstrate a knowledge of the game. If you'd like to siGn up, I can take you in, or keep you as a reserve if you'd prefer Objectively, these are good choices. You definitely should, it's worth it. Awwww, I had plans for tour death scene already. Oh... As you wish, but feel free to watch! Blacktron is coming! that's some plagiarism I will actively endorse! Same... I guess at that point it's more of a fall in your soul. I think you mean this is why we can have great things! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Thanks! Thanks! I love the dark tan interior. I think that goes super with blue! I'll definitely try that again. Ha! Thanks! Oh.. he looks like Jeb? Must be a coincidence... it's definitely not his figure with epaulets... I'm definitely not that lazy... Awesome! Thanks! Now I have 666 credits! screen saving that! High praise coming from you! Thanks! It is this! Check it out, at least for the awesome job editing done by JackJonespaw! I'm accepting a select few newcomers in my game if you can demonstrate you understand how to play a Mafia game/read over some old ones. If you don't want to join the game though, you can certainly watch! Hopefully my story and pictures will serve to entertain my fellow AGers as well as the usual Mafia croud! I'm sure anyone as involved in AG as you would be capable of playing a Mafia game too. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Forwards me to Tvtropes.org... check, check. Yeah, that stuff's above my pay grade too! Appreciates educational video... check, check, check! Hurry for obsession! Sure! Now, important follow up question for you: Steven Falls Over? Or just Falls... if the former, then you may be one of the only ones to get a certain spoilery character name later on! also, you may understand where I draw some influence for Dr. Long. I'll keep this in mind! Also, I respect your bravery in saying that. You are entitled to your wrong opinion. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Dannylonglegs, and Jackjonespaw proudly present: "The year is 2515. On the heels of the Liberation of Earth from the Hypaxxians in 2111, humanity spread its wings to the greater galaxy, liberating planets from the Hypaxxian empire as they went. With new allies, Humans and their fledgling interstellar league defeated the Hypaxxians, pushing them back to their homeworld. In the vacuum of power left by the tyrannical empire, Humans and their closest ally species formed the "Congressional Legislative Administration of Space-faring Species and Interstellar Court" or, CLASSIC Space Federation. This Federation has lasted nearly 400 years now, and has grown larger than the Hypaxxian empire ever did, incorporating numerous sentient species in the name of peace and prosperity. Wherever the Federation has a presence, mutually beneficial interstellar trade is fostered, dictatorships are destabilized, and quality of life is improved. That's the official story, at least. There are those who see the Federation as overbearing, imperialistic, bloated, corrupt, and unnecessary. Enter the Blacktron Rebellion. Comprised of dissenters from decadence and those oppressed by the Federation, Blacktron aims to completely overthrow the Federation, restoring independence to all member planets. While their goals may be admirable, their methods are abhorrent. They have brought chaos and death to many a planet, and murder those who question them. Despite this, their numbers continue to grow, and they have established themselves as a true force with which to be reckoned. The rebellion is widespread, and no planet is safe from its brutality--not even planet LI-420, a mining planet on the border of the Federation, and the Insectoid Empire. Devoid of native life, and primarily barren and worthless for Terraforming efforts, the one thing this planet offers is precious minerals. As negotiated by the Federation, the planet is on loan to the Federation by the Insectoid Empire to be mined for its resources in exchange for some tribute. Its isolated, but diplomatically important position has made it uniquely situated as a prime location for the Federation to gracefully dump its rejects. Those involved in corruption charges, or who otherwise seek to avoid the public eye ubiquitous on core worlds find themselves on frontier worlds like this... which also makes them receptive to the cleansing power of Blacktron." Please stop the music now, at whatever point in the song you reached. "This is Falconer LL-10240, escorting OS-Cog 87 on a routine supplies delivery to Mining station on LI-420. Tower, please reply." "Falconer LL-10240 to Os-Cog 87, Something's wrong! The mining station's not responding! How are your coms? I think mine have been jammed!" "WoOOOoah-ly shit!" "I'm hit! Mayday! Mayday!" *grunts* "I've got to warn them! It's Blacktron!" __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sign up here to take part in my very first Mafia Game! How to sign up: Please respond to these 5 questions/demands: 1) Tell me a brief summary of your Mafia experience, in poem form. A Free verse is fine. A Haiku will also do. You don't need to rhyme. 2) Will you be free to actively participate from now until whenever the heck this ends? 3) What is your favorite Sci-Fi work? Any media form is fine, from books, to films, to prematurely canceled television series, to video games, to radio shows, to cartoon television shows "for kids" and Anime, to songs. Additionally, what is your favorite sci-fi character? This needn't be from the same selection as your previous answer. If you even mention "Prometheus" or any of the "characters" therein, you will be disqualified. Not really, but I will seriously judge you. 4) "Solve the function: for N=4, with r being the third root of i"? ~JJP 5) Watch this brief . Important Stuff: 1. Characters will be assigned to players first (maybe based on answers to questions... maybe not... ), and then I will roll for affiliation. Characters do not have set roles or affiliations. That will be decided after character assignment. 2. All playable characters are references/puns to great Sci-Fi. Some characters are references to multiple sci-fi's. Some are blatant, some are obscure. If you guess the references, you get a crudely "photoshoped" picture of me handing you a cookie. Please use spoilers when doing so. Obviously, this will start when players actually have characters... 3. Standard rules apply. Mandatory voting. There will be no clues in any pictures. Seriously. If anyone looks for clues in pictures I will not intervene, but I expect all of you to ruthlessly mock those attempting to do so. 4. I will be taking pictures. My pictures are square. JJP will be editing my pictures. His pictures are rectangles. His pictures are also edited in like gimp or photoshop or something and may contain lazers and lens flares. Mine are only edited in instagram, and may contain colour correction. 5. I'm looking for 21 players. Extra may be added as reserves. Some new players may join, depending on their poems... or rather, the contents of said poems. 6. This sign-up thread will be ~Insectoid Aristocrat

No, JJ Abrams! I told you tomorrow is ok to start! Eat food, dood! ~Insectoid Aristocrat
