Iso: Assuming the Comedy Central Roasts are a good thing to go off of, a few of them are on Amazon Prime and presumably netflix. You can maybe watch those? Also youtube.
KoolKoal: Feel free to take this with a grain of salt since self meta isn't particularly helpful, but I think I get scumread mostly for style over substance, but also for a certain lack of substance over style. It's not so much what I AM posting most of the time (though sometimes that can seem bad) but what I'm NOT posting. I've been told I come to non-obvious conclusions a lot, so when I post, quite a bit of the time there's jumps in logic that people can't follow and they think that's scummy. I get that accusation about a lot of questions I ask specifically. People call them "busy work" when the questions are legit etc.
As far as things to ignore, I can't think of anything. I would suggest you focus less on what I'm doing and more on how I'm doing it. That's probably more likely to be accurate. Like I've just said, what I do tends to come off a little weird, but if you look for how I do it, mindset comes into play and maybe you figure out something useful.

Cool with Stormblind's thread title. I'll make a new thread in the next few days.
:/ on the clan contest though, I think it's a silly idea and I don't see exactly how you can roast someone (who is a rather srs wizard dragon) in text. I am not very familiar with the execution of a roast though, so I could be missing the mark.
Apparently we will be writing a script, essentially.
Exactly. These sorts of things seem like they'd only really be entertaining in person, fairly off the cuff and with alcohol involved. Like an after dinner speech, but aimed at a particular person (like someone retiring from a company or whatever).
After reading the sample roast, I'm in agreement with Eco. I just don't see it being particularly witty unless we can cue laugh tracks and such things. You said no knowledge of M:tG is required, but in order to properly "roast" a character from the universe, it would make sense to be intimately acquainted with them, no? I can't see it being very inspiring.

Well, we could always do the second best thing: Get a lore nerd drunk, and ply him with questions about said character, encouraging wittiness via phrasing of our questions

On the bright side it's a great exercise. When you can't rely on your reputation to make people listen to you, it really forces you to step up your game.
Let's ask him after we kidnap him.
To be fair, my reputation previously was that of insane, gut-reader who tended to die early. :-(
I think I was RARELY ever captured as scum, and usually MORE townie as scum then as a townie
That an my game designs. Which tended to be insane almost universally.

Please host another game and don't disappear half way through. Brittania was awesome until it died
That was honestly an idea I had had. Put together a setup while im still new at being back, while still having a good idea of balance and how the game designs should work. Fresh perspective and thoughts
Actual question: how many players can reliably be pulled from the mafia subforum as it stands? IT seems... vastly diminished from what it used to be compariatively.
Additional Question: People willing to have idea's bounced off them via GoogleChat/AIM please send me a PM with your info. I don't wanna make a monster
It has been a little while.
Got burned out on mod drama for a bit and only logged on to check my areas (and play Mod Mafia).
Kept an eye on this thread as well, but not particularly interested in the Godfather game.
Tonight was Harry Potter night at the club I frequent. I dressed up as the 10th Doctor and told everyone I was Barty Crouch Jr. Disappointingly few people got the joke.

You should have seen the look on my face when I watched HP4 recently when I saw that David Tennant was BC Jr.

Oh wow, I completely forgot David Tennant was in that film.
But I did remember that episode where Shakespeare cast Expelliarmus so I guess that's where my priorities are.

Waited for and got myself 3 set's of PAX tickets (since the 4 day passes were completely sold out). According to a friend of mine who was in queue about 10 minutes after me, Friday/Saturday tickets are now sold out. Lucky Timing.
Should be awesome, first year going. Unfortunately, Between my entire group, we only have 3 sets of tickets. So... ****.

Fair enough; sacrifices are getting cliche anyway.

Considering including age and regencies into the system, which... could be interesting all things considered

It was awesome.
Chi Cheng, beloved bassist of the Deftones, passed away 04/13/2013.
He will be missed.
