The following adjectives may or may not be useful when describing Tarhalindur: smart, lazy, insane, sane, liberal, apatheistic, imaginative.Andycyca wrote:Hi! You may write an brief "About me" before answering anything.
Useful trivia of the day: I have seen the following stop sign in person:
College student (hence a good deal of the free time and why I tend to be flakier at the ends of semesters)... no need for part-time work when you have large enough scholarships.What do you do for a living?
... 19Age?
In his house at Ry'Leh, didn't you read the location tab?Where are you from?
Okay, okay: I'm currently living in or around Dallas, TX.
What was the last book you've read?The Familyby Jeff Sharlet.
What was the las album you heard?The Book of Shadowsby Lorenna McKinnet, courtesy of my family.
Probably Halloween by process of elimination... I tend to ignore/despise most holidays for being too ritualistic (especially Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, and Independence Day), Halloween just has the advantage of an interesting ritual.What is your favorite holiday?
Sports (I lack both the desire and the coordination to play)What is your least favorite activity?
Error 404: User does not drink alcohol.Favorite...
...Alcoholic drink?
(Very) sweet tea (hot or iced, both are fine)....non-alcoholic drink?
Dulce de leche (though perhaps "everything I've tried except chocolate and strawberr" would be a better answer)....Ice cream flavor?
...movie?Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
None: pretty much all of my preferred music is instrumental or choral....musician?
SERIAL KILLER! (Preferably with some NK immunity) Seriously, all the scumhunting of a townie and all the survival skills of a Mafioso....mafia role?
OGML hasn't been interrogated yet, so he's up.Who, on the GTKAS queue, would you like to nominate for next week?
Sadly, I don't believe Ambrose Bierce counts as a novelist, so this is a tie between Douglas Adams and Terry Prachett.Simenon wrote:Favorite novelist?
Shakespeare, but that's not saying much (theatre isn't usually my style).Playwright?
Homer. Yes, as in the Greek bard.Poet?/
Currently Kinetic, whose play is similar to my own.Kmd4390 wrote:Favorite person to play mafia with?
Glork - his tendency to ask questions in lieu of early pressure may be optimal, but it slows down gameplay D1, dampening my enthusiasm greatly (I strongly prefer the faster pace of a more aggressive playstyle).Least favorite?
Assuming that I'm not allowed to answer myself... OhGodMyLife, who has run consistently enjoyable games.Favorite Mod?
Blahgo... I'm still pissed at Mafia 67 being abandoned, since that's probably my best game of all time.Least Favorite?
No. Especially not if that role is investigative or has the ability to kill.Vi wrote:When If I use your name/likeness as a role in one of my games, would you be offended?User out of ambit.

That would be Daniel Jackson (Stargate SG-1) talking to Oma Desala, but you're not really supposed to be paying attention to Daniel.Jahudo wrote:What is happening in your avatar?

Doctor. It's a useful role, yes, but it's too damn boring (just protect the player you don't want to see die until you die yourself) and creates too many problems for setup design (because Cop+Doc is so powerful).Do you have a least favorite mafia role?User out of ambit.

That's a good question and I'll answer it when I figure out my own insanity. Or sanity. One of the two.hasdgfas wrote:mind screw? just, how?
(Actually, it was the result of some fairly simple ideas - "what can you do with a setup when the rules are hidden" and "what cool roles can I make with the following characters?" - followed by looking through old games for ideas and making a setup to my usual levels of complexity... with the partial exception of Mind Screw Mafia 3, which I adapted from an older setup idea; I may run a revised version of the original if there's public interest.)
Random Mafia 3, with Mafia 67 a very close second.best game as town?
Stargate SG-1. (I'm really at my best in games with multiple scum factions - yet another reason for loving SK)best game as scum?
High School Mafia (Mini 576), aka the only game where I have ever screwed up badly enough to lose the game for town singlehandedly.worst game as town?
Mafia 71 if games I replaced out of count, Mafia 69 otherwise.worst game as scum?
Anything where I know the flavor inside and out (Stargate SG-1 is a shining example).Dream theme for a mafia game?

So, as usual
Why? (Why not and because are not acceptable answers)
Also, do you enjoy rope? (If you know what I mean)
And Tar, congratulations on being awesome enough to invoke questions beyond that.
So, you play Magic, probably D&D, and probably other things. What I'm curious is about those other things. What are the things you would list as your own geekdoms/nerddoms, whatever you prefer?
Favorite anime?
When will Haruhi Suzumiya Mafia be done ?
I can't think of anything else this late, but yeah!"Never have I seen anybody glorify their own lynch."

How?forbiddanlight wrote:So, as usual

There's another response for the not acceptable list, I know...
Yes, but it's a bit low on the fetish totem pole for me... tsunderes and being stuck in an enclosed space with a lover are both higher.Also, do you enjoy rope? (If you know what I mean)
History (especially early twentieth-century), science (especially quantum mechanics - which is why Suzumiya Haruhi amuses me, since QM stuff is used or implied so much... well, okay, that and Kyon's viewpoint reminds me of my own - and evolution), and science fiction.So, you play Magic, probably D&D, and probably other things. What I'm curious is about those other things. What are the things you would list as your own geekdoms/nerddoms, whatever you prefer?
Serial Experiments Lain remains the only show I have watched in any medium where I didn't know what was going on (except that *something* was going on) for half the show. For that alone it gets my vote.Favorite anime?
When I get a backup mod and a new reviewer (or a backup mod who will review) - Nat was my original reviewer, but he's flaked.When will Haruhi Suzumiya Mafia be done ?
It pretty much boils down into free money (as in, I have enough scholarships that the school might as well be paying ME to attend), though there are other reasons (having already taken classes there and liking the history department come to mind).OhGodMyLife wrote:What made you choose U of North Texas (if I'm correct in reading into the location of the stop sign as your current school)
Biology and history.What do you study?
Well, since "rich idiot with no day job" fails on the grounds that "rich", "idiot", and "being a superhero in your spare time" are unlikely to apply... academia (college professor, specifically)What would you like to do for a living once you're done with school?

Yes, but it's a bit low on the fetish totem pole for me... tsunderes
I need to rewatch that...

So, anyway, what is your criteria for determining something is a mind screw in any medium?
Favorite genre of music? (you already have bonus points for liking mostly instrumental )

Perhaps a parable is appropriate here. In MTG terms, I'm a blue mage (well, actually blue-red*... what Izzet your problem?) - I'm after omniscience, no matter how impossible it is.forbiddanlight wrote:

Odd, despite me liking it I have it in the "avoid rewatch" category - rewatching it would lose the sense of "All I know is that something is going on" that I had the first time.

Mind Screw factor is the answer to the question "how difficult is it for me to predict what's going to happen, and how much of this is due to symbolism and hidden information?".So, anyway, what is your criteria for determining something is a mind screw in any medium?
Generally classical (or modern orchestral work, but I have no idea how many genres that's divided into... ).Favorite genre of music? (you already have bonus points for liking mostly instrumental )
What's so cool about early 20th century history? Science? Science Fiction?
History in general and twentieth-century history in particular is EXTREMELY useful for understanding why we're living in the world we're in, and tells us what we shouldn't do when similar situations come up (for instance, maybe running up lots of debt and speculations backfires horribly when the boom busts?)
Science is pretty much the same, except that I also used to compete in science competitions in what little I had of normal high school. (And QM is just mind-screwingly awesome in general)
Science fiction? I like to look through possible futures dreamed up by people.

Well-informed women who are willing to speak their mind (note the comment on tsunderes earlier) and have a modicum of fitness (read: not obese), preferably with some patience (I can be a bit of a jerkass sometimes) and some common interests.

Would I do that? Would I make innocent characters from Majora's Mask corrupted by the evil of Majora's Mask? Would I just leave out half of the main characters from the game?SilverPhoenix wrote:Does your next game involve crushing my dreams by making the good guys bad (talking about Zelda)?
YES!
I'd say Austin, TX (moderately accessible, and downtown Austin is just wonderful), with most of my regular fellow players/favorite players in my games/favorite mods showing up (definitely the 12 listed above).Also, if you were to hold a large RL Mafia festival along the lines of BeachBam, Starkadium, etc., where would you hold it and why? Who would you want to be there?
