I'm sorry guys, I feel like I've let you all down. I've just had a rough week and things have been rather tumultuous, and as much as I love my Mafia, I think I just got too into it and maybe a wee bit stressed out. I'm going to try to do better though, but I know I won't have as much time for this game as I'd like now due to other issues. But I'm going to try to stay active, Pollux, I don't want to be an inactive player- and I want to maybe try to see if we can get the W after all. That said... Onto Tonight: What's with the Sheep thing? I'm trying to think of Batman Canon that has to do with Sheep, but I have NO CLUE which villain or hero or anyone in the DC world who would use Sheep as a weapon/costume??? Am I missing something here?

However, I think we shouldn't make the assumption that all the devices are harmless. Nor should we assume that all the rest of the devices are harmful. So basically what you're saying is we should take absolutely nothing from my experience and ignore any data that could be gained from it? If the device HAD exploded, wouldn't everybody immediately be afraid of detonating the devices? I highly doubt people would be putting up the idea that "well, the first device exploded, but maybe not all of them are bad!" I'm willing to follow your lead, Pollux and volunteer to have my device detonated toMorrow. I was the next person to get the Device, and since we know how mine works too, I'm willing to do it. Though I wonder if the unvotes/Votes part matters for which gas canister is given to me? If that's the case, I'd like to at least take my own fate into my own hands and be the last Unvote if that's possible guys.... That way, even if I live or die, I can only have myself to blame for it. And maybe I deserve it after the way I played on Day 5. I shouldn't have left you guys hanging like that. It was stupid and foolish and overemotional. And as for the messages for Total: I still am not sure what to make of that one. Part of me almost feels like if Texcat is the PFK, I wouldn't care to "deal with her"- just to force scum into having to try to attempt to NK her. I still feel as if there's scum to be found, and that's what the focus should be on. If scum really is afraid of a PFK victory, they should WIFOM over that NK option or not. Okay. :deep breath: Once more into the Breach! -seems like a good a quote as any. -Steph

Am I missing something here? You are. It's a Mafia in joke. Peeker is always calling Hal a sheep fucker. That's why in the color Pollux gave the warning look to Hal.

I'm pretty sure that it's just color with no hints or hidden meaning.

No, it's a running gag from the Straight Dope regarding Hal that gets brought up most times he plays mafia. If I remember correctly Hal left himself logged in or something and somebody used his account and started a new topic about him having sex with sheep.
And he will never live it down.

I think it has to do with it being funny to put in jokes in the color, and nothing more than that.

Speaking of in jokes...do you remember Pollux when we started Mafia on the dope and the way it single handedly killed our lurker status? I think I had something like 40 posts total in 8 years before Mafia came along.

I'm so glad that you posted that, Hal...it saves all of the rest of us from having to do it.
And I do have it bookmarked, just in case I ever need to refer back...
;D

Have we lost Storyteller to the Easter Bunny? Do we need to send for DogMom? You're not far off here, actually. I am in ass-end-of-nowhere, NC, and Internet access is spotty. Super abbreviated Dawn to follow.

--Snip-- Okay. :deep breath: Once more into the Breach! -seems like a good a quote as any. -Steph So, This is another one of those posts that pinged me at work today*. Tossing this out here........ SBrOwn, others ; Why the signature here? I don't want to read too much into this, but I don't want to ignore something if it is here, regardless. *This might come as a shock to you guys, but I have ADHD. If you can consider a brain that is always changing channels on TV, you might get close to what ADHD is, in general; This post, the Signature, by itself, actually, popped into my head and pingged me, while I was at my retail job today. [Miles away from a computer. I _could_ use my cell phone on my break, but meh, it's a dumbphone. ] Also, per the device that has the symbols, Should we take into consideration that Pi approximates 3, E approximates 2, and i approximates [absolute value] 1 Or was that what (sbrown was it?) was getting at here?
