Quisoves Potoo

A group project? Ow. I feel your pain.

I mean, I appreciate that it can help students improve their organizational and coorperational skills, but it also makes the group's grade dependent on its weakest link.

If by "rhetorical lawnmower" you mean a bunch of bluster and bravado, I suggest you silently stare your uncooperative colleague down, next time he does it. Easier said than done, granted, but that sort of self-pitying intimidation only works if it gets some sort of response.

You'll be in my prayers.

I'm more a fan of The Conqueror Worm, myself.That'd make a pretty impressive username.

I like.

How about "Sir Launcelot Canning"?

 

It's hard to swap to just water when I'm used to the fizzy tang.

 

I don't know how much they cost, but I think there are products you can buy that carbonate water. Might be an investment to look into for your health, if you want to give up soda but crave the fizziness.

 

*Snaps fingers*

 

You can't go wrong with a gasogene!

As someone who once endured a none too enjoyable diet ('twas supposed to give me more energy, though it failed to deliver,) I can sympathize. On the bright side, you don't have to observe six other family-members eating much more enjoyable fare (though my father was also on it, so a lot of dinners were diet-friendly.)

Exercise is a beautiful thing. If, like me, you enjoy gloomy weather (something of a rarity for me, right now) then I imagine that you'll have plenty of incentives to go walking. If not, then you'll just have to focus on the greenery. =P

Anyhow, keep up the good work, screw your courage to the sticking place, don't get discouraged and [insert platitude here]!

On a non-facetious note, you'll be in my prayers.

I have just finished up a four-week run of a certain G&S operetta, which I shall miss immensely. Nevertheless, it will be good to get a break.

Fa-la-la!

How far along are you in your marathon of the Classic Series of Doctor Who?

Are you acquainted with any of the works of Gilbert and Sullivan?
If you haven't heard or seen it, I heartily recomend Iolanthe to you, given your love of fairies.

Perhaps this is the Mafia RPG you mooted earlier?

Would you believe a BIONICLE/Get Smart crossover?

AND FILL UP THE WALL WITH OUR POTOO DEAD

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

As someone whose health is always fluctuating and never well, I can quite sympathize with your plight.

Get well soon!

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

And once I knew QP and Vox were mafia, it was an open-and-shut. QP needs a new Mafia strategy.

More accurately, I need to play Village for a change.

ARRRGH QP CONVINCED EVERYONE TO VOTE FOR LUROKA, WHEN THE MAFIA WAS OBVIOUSLY VOXUMO. DUH.

Ah... Seaborgium. You see, fellow Mafiosi aside, I was only in contact with him. I suggested Luroka as a possible suspect, but I certainly didn't think that he would blame me for everyone voting that way (assuming that he did.) I'm glad to see that someone got the Voxumo clue, as absurdly obvious as it was (we really need to tone down the clues, though that is understandably difficult in a game like this.)

And once I knew QP and Vox were mafia, it was an open-and-shut. QP needs a new Mafia strategy. It helped immensely that I was a ninja over in Ninjago. The person was killing off the Mafia, right in line with the lynchings in Ninjago too, which should have IDed the secret role as at least a player of that game. Then when they killed Vox, it should be obvious that they were a member of the Mafia in Ninjago. (I even mentioned Ninjago was important in Pulse's PM and was told I was nuts!) Then I lined up the kills straight down the Ninjago topic to make it REALLY obvious. Nobody seemed to get it until I was revealed as a ninja over in Ninjago...but by then it was too late. 

 

The only reason I escaped, I think, was that Portal didn't mention I targeted Chro too. You guys lynched before my target could go though. I also got very lucky that the detective didn't target me that night...I voted Pulse, not Chro, which was almost a smoking gun that I had a backup. 

 

What I don't get is why QP didn't catch on, although I guess he was dead before he could figure it out. The real mystery is Chro - "possible, but not likely" should have given me away to any browser of S&T lol. 

 

It sounds smart, but in reality, I just got really lucky. All the same, excellent game, everyone. While I may have to take a break to do other games for a bit, I shall return soon. 

 

(And now all the hosts have all of their hints for the next game lol.)

You see, I first assumed that the secret role was killing off the Mafia from XIX, then that it was killing off players who tended to have roles. The idea of concurrent games bleeding over into each other is strange to me, since I make a point of separating my actions in each one. I think that your pattern was so audaciously absurd that I would never have considered it (since I always kill those whom I deem the most dangerous.)

As for the "possible, but not likely" thing, I must confess to not being familiar with your catchphrase. And the fact that you were using it in other topics didn't really mean much. Meta-clues aren't really clues, unless explicitly mentioned as possible.

I'm confused about the word thing. Clarification?

Anyway, good game, Fishers.

I can't say I'm sure that this kind of game works. I think that it rather dampens the psychological aspect so essential to Mafia (after all, it was developed as an exercise in psychology.) It didn't help that the Mafia was composed of the sort of folks that Fishers seems to have been going for (initially, at least.) Combine that with her being one of the newest players (and thus not an object of much attention,) and we didn't have a chance. Which is not to say she did a bad job. On the contrary, she succeeded in throwing us all off.  And as for Portal, someone had to try this type of game, and you are to be commended for doing so.

My apologies if I'm rambling. I'm feeling a bit sick ATM.

Iolanthe?
Luminous Fay?

La Belle Dame Sans Merci (if you want something a bit more sinister)?

I should like to enter on @Seaborgium's behalf.

My mug is molded in the shape of the TARDIS. =P

You mean the dark blue one with the Tardis bas-relief?

"Never Make a Bet With a Bloderator When a MOC is on the Line"

"MOUS (MOCer of Unusual Standing)"

"THOK THOK THOK"

"go go moderators!"

"MOCERATOR"

"Bloderating Your MOC"

I'll try to think of some more.

Out of curiosity, how are the narrators chosen?

Name: Quisoves Pugnat

Gender: Male

Element 1: Gravity

Element 2: Plant Life

Other: Poetic bent, fond of History and Patter-Songs. Enjoys long and heated debates. Dislikes Sheep (or nearest BIONICLE equivalent.) The last one is part of my internet-motif. I assure you that I love the furry drones.

I should like to be one of the Triplets.

Ks always had a sinister connotation in Bionicle, so a more sinister iteration of Vahki would have more of an emphasis on the letter. Perhaps something as simple as "Vadahkk" might work? It further emphasizes k whilst bearing a reasonable resemblance to "Vahki."

That's not good at all. Here's hoping you get better soon. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Thank goodness my parents are sympathetic to my ever-fluctuating health.

Though hardly a stringent time-limit, in the classic RPG Ultima V: Warrriors of Destiny, the character that you must save to win the game will die after several in-game years.

Ultima VII Part I: the Black Gate (also a brilliant game,) on the other hand, has a particularly egregious example of RPG-logic, in that several characters, if the hero has reached a certain stage, will speak of how the Guardian (the main villain) will be coming through the titular moongate in a few hours, even though the player can wait as long as he wants. In fact, it is possible to reach the Black Gate, hear the Guardian say "I will come through the Black Gate now, stop the Avatar!" leave, and then return whenever you like to prevent him arriving.
