Axxle- Good to see you again after having gotten to know you a bit better in the interim between meets! I feel like I developed a good read on you this time, which I feel good about since I def used to overly scumread you. (I was actually vaguely disappointed to roll masons with you as opposed to someone I can't read, but that ended up playing out really well and was a great game.) I really enjoyed playing board games with you (wp in cosmic encounter especially but I think you're really strategic and smart in general).
BPC- You were on my short list of people I was most looking fwd to meeting for the first time and did not disappoint! Thanks so much for driving us, keeping us organized and in touch with the other houses, & organizing the escape room. Things would not have gone as smoothly without you for sure, inc in the escape room, which was super fun. I really enjoyed hanging out with you on Friday night between some funny Mafia de Cuba moments and discussing Survivor. You're really nice, friendly and great to hang out with (wish we'd gotten to do so more.) Stay in touch!
BROseidon- It actually took me a while to figure out who you were when I first got to Llamarble's because you're p different than I expected, but def not in a bad way. Unfortunately didn't see that much of you due to you being sick! I liked your strategic approach to face to face mafia and you seem pretty cool. (
x)
Cabd- Wish we'd known PA was injured earlier on so we could have planned differently to make sure we saw you
I got the sense that you had fun with the group you hosted tho at least. Hope to meet you someday tho
Cephrir- You seem really chill and I felt bad about lynching you first from our room. I felt like you played well in every single Mafia de Cuba game and then kept getting fucked over by weird mechanics. My favorite memory of you is probably your reaction to Empire nightkilling me when I was sitting by you (along the lines of "why the fuck did they kill her"; so blunt, so town). I'm p sure you live by me and would be happy to see you if we ever get minimeets in this area going again
Cheetory- You were definitely one of my favorite people to play mafia with. I'm thankful to you for carrying the team in that one game, but my favorite memories of your are from some passionate outbursts in your town games. I think you are good at projecting town regardless of your alignment + getting correct townreads on mislynchable people and sticking to your guns with them. I'm glad you brought Codenames, and I was a little bummed to never be on your team because I thought your approach to it was p clever. I think you're a really cool person in general, to the point that I felt shy trying to start conversations with you, but hope to continue to see you around the site and stuff

Chevre- I'm really glad that you enjoyed the meet as much as you did. I remember going into my first one I was super shy and anxious about everything, so from your posts ITT pre-meet I felt like I could relate to you and was glad that you ended up at our place. I really liked your approach to Mysterium and wish I'd listened to you more (or that people let you get a better view of the cards earlier some of the time). I enjoyed doing the escape room with you a lot too and was really impressed with how quickly you caught onto things. You messing with me in the Shadow Hunters game Shea dealt incorrectly is also a p funny memory. Glad to have met you; you're really clever, nice and fun to be around.
DeathNote- Thanks for the work you put into a really creative, unforgettable game. As much time as it took to deal with note passing and stuff, I really enjoyed that mechanic as an otherwise VT. I think that your other modded setup I played was clever and I'm sorry I made it play out weirdly by being obvscum. iirc your LLD bus in masons+mafia was p solid (got you to endgame) but that you just got rly unlucky with nightkills. Was p funny that you kept jokingly trying to talk Faraday into replacing into games for you imo
dramonic- I like your sense of humor and thought you played quite well in DeathNote's game + that 15p game when you were scum!
Empire- you're a funny dude and a good friend. someday I hope you are no longer mentally scarred by team mafia and all the jobs you hate lmao. you're def most improved for mysterium & mafia de Cuba (
at you not being able to believe I would actually wanna ally with you!!) wp and thx for nightkilling me before I had further opportunity to embarrass myself with my bad reads in that great scum game of yours, tho I like to believe I'd have gotten paranoid eventually. funny in hindsight that we had a long conversation that consisted of me "uhhh are you sure this townie is town" "yeah they did this super townie thing also i know who the cop is." at least I insta-vigged you in the other one.
Ether- I enjoyed the little conversations we had throughout the meet and wish I'd gone on the girls trip to Starbucks since I didn't see you a ton. I'm impressed with you for managing to cook/eat fairly well despite how full+crazy the houses were!
Faraday-
Gamma- I'm glad you still made it even though no other commune people did. Since Reckoning III I've always thought of you as really chill and fun. Thanks for introducing me to Mafia de Cuba and for suffering through being our mysterium ghost. You and Faraday had some pretty hilarious mind melds in various games and conversations. I also remember enjoying your perspective on forum mafia/current site meta. :b
GreyICE- praise Jesus!! You're really nice and I had a lot of fun on your Codenames team and playing other board games with you. You were not at all how I expected in mafia games considering your forum play, but it was great playing with you (and great to watch you as a Jester.) Do let me know about board game stuff in our area because I'd def do my best to make it.
hiplop- I got along with you a lot better in f2f mafia than in our one completed forum game :b. Your antics in mafia games with Faraday, d1 tunnels, and with instantly identifying GreyICE as jester were really great. The game where we were masons was one of my favorites, and I think you did well at smoothly checking in with Axxle and I without making a connection between any of us obvious. How you played out cosmic encounter was amusing (though I felt bad that you ended up getting kinda shafted and not getting to take a turn considering it was your first game). Thanks for the fun memories and see ya on discord when I get a new computer.
hitogoroshi- I'm sorry we didn't get to play Mysterium but I did really enjoy talking to you Saturday night because you're so funny and intelligent. The setup you revealed to us was really really hilarious (though if that means you can't use it now then that's a shame.) Didn't get a chance to check out the comedians you mentioned because I was sick but if you have recommendations in my area lmk. Thanks for helping to get us organized and I hope you're having an awesome time in Estonia.
Iecerint- You've always been one of my favorite people at meets so I'm glad it worked out that you could make it
You're incredibly brilliant and funny, and I really appreciate that you're super nice and friendly to me. Gamesolving with you in Mafia de Cuba when you were too drunk to try anything other than being Godfather-aligned is a fun memory even though I fucked up, as was mafia & being Codenames teammates.
Llamarble- Thank you so much for hosting two thirds of the main meet days and letting a few of us stop by Monday afternoon. This meet really could not have worked out without you. Our win in Betrayal was p great. Don't think we ever read each other very well in mafia (meant to sit by you at some stage to try and change that, but alas) but I think you have an interesting playstyle, kinda enigmatic and confident and definitely a good listener. It was lovely to meet Willie as well!
LLD- I liked meeting you in Miami but I definitely think Keith brings out the best in you. I've a lot of enjoyable memories with you in mafia games and two rooms. I admire your often incredible intuition and how smart you are, and I'm sorry for dropping the ball in a couple of mafia games after you inevitably died early!
Magua- Was cool to meet you and unfortunate you couldn't attend mre of it. I enjoyed Exploding Kittens but wish I'd played something a little more strategic with you all cuz I'd have liked to see how you approached it.
Mala- I nagged you so much about going to the point that I was starting to feel guilty about it. but I wanted you to super badly and I'm so happy it worked out! Will catch up with you more when you're done studying. Sorry the weather was bad so we didn't go to the Chicago PD set but I loved hanging out with you when we did get the chance. Our one on one chats were great
It's funny that you said you liked playing with me even when we were opposite alignments cuz that basically always resulted in me getting burnt. Discussing reads in games was always p fun and at least the people that could hear us would correctly townread us for it :b. I appreciate you for taking a mason bullet for me. Definitely should not have brought you to my SK endgame (not that I actually meant to!) >; p.s. it is ok that you mispronounce my username
MathBlade- It was a surprise that you came but was fun to meet someone I know offsite. Sorry my names are confusing to you :b and I hope my face to face experience with you helps me read you if we ever play mafia again. Seeing you made me nostalgic for Are You A Werewolf 2 haha
Mina- I'm a little bummed we didn't actually hang out more (sry I skipped the coffee quest; I forgot that my immune system doesn't like beer and felt super bleh on Sunday, though that whole saga was really...something) but I'm ok with it because I feel pretty confident our paths will cross again eventually. I'm glad that you calling me a drug dealer repeatedly in a train station didn't get me into trouble lmao. I think your dynamic with that guy who follows you around is really funny! Thanks for organizing/including me in the Westeros minimeet
gj being good scum in DeathNote's game
Nacho- I'm sorry that Mina bullied you! You're hilarious and I'm disappointed I didn't get to witness your f2f mafia play, esp considering your role. Listening to your perspective on forum mafia was cool though, and I had a great time doing trivia
I definitely get why everyone was super excited upon your arrival and feel like a cool kid for getting to hang out with you quite a bit, relatively
PA- Really bummed I didn't get to meet you. I'm kinda honored that I IC'd newbie!you and have always had a soft spot for you. Take care and I hope the wedding and house-buying stress is as minimal as can be.
pablito- At some point someone asked me who my favorite new person that I met was, and while I'm not sure I actually have an answer to that, the first name that came to mind was yours. Sad as you getting rekt in Shadow Hunters was, it was also p funny. My conversations with you in the, like, two game days of mafia we managed to both be in were highlights of them. I was also super stressed about taking public transit at 3:30am with a dead phone and only one other person and you really helped out. I'm glad somewhat unfortunate circumstances made it so that you were actually able to come and hope to see you around the site.
Piegirl- It was cool seeing you come out of your shell in mafia games more and more as the meet went on, and I think you were a strong player in a lot of your endgames. I wish I'd gotten to hang with you more in a non-mafia context because you seem sweet and I'd like to get to know you
Save the Dragons- It was cool to put a name with a face as I vaguely follow mish mash/Survivor stuff but it's too bad we didn't talk much. In Mafia de Cuba I liked being able to count on you wanting to be godfather-aligned. Also thought it was cool that you rolled L and were able to have a big impact on that game + read Ceph well (you two are cute btw)
Shea- Thanks so much for your generosity and your efforts in getting this to work out, seriously. And for your willingness to annoy people you still have to live with for a bit on our behalf.) And for neglecting sleep to try to code an app to vastly improve our game quality even though it ended up not working out. I like playing mafia with you (you definitely keep games interesting) even tho I get the sense the feeling isn't mutual :b. I'm glad we're better people than when we first interacted on MS and that I've come around to liking you. I'm also glad I got to meet Jess via you; she's cool.
SleepyKrew- ;_; I mislynched you in my first game with you and then in DeathNote's game immediately sent you a note that basically said "I think all the remaining scum in this game are town." You must think I'm the worst. Felt bad that you slept super uncomfortably! I also felt bad that you kept getting sent on weird errands that no one else was willing to do when it was super cold and rainy and you were really confused, but it was p funny to witness. Was really cool getting to meet you after being friends for so long (sorry I didn't make it to Karaoke because I didn't see much of you Sunday @ all sadly), and I enjoyed your commentary on some of the games I was playing Friday night. also heard that you trolled DN's game pretty amazingly after I died, gj buddy :b
Syryana- Out of everyone that went I think I knew the least about you prior to the meet. You were really fun to play mafia with and on our CVS outting. I think you had good reads and did pretty well at moving around to get a sense of different people's games stances. Was sorry to hear that you had really bad luck with flights for this trip, but I'm glad you made it + made it home. Poke me if you play a forum game any time soon because you seem like you'd be fun to play with.
Tammy- I'm really glad that I got to meet you not at an airport and that I got to meet Mr. Waffles :b. Too bad that I didn't see more of you since you were busy grading, and that we weren't able to play mafia together. It's always surprisingly fun listening to you passionately recall mafia games I've never read, and I enjoyed that at the bar/restaurant. Our trivia night was one of my favorite memories of Chicago. Take care <3
Titus- It was cool to see you here since I couldn't make your meet. Sorry for the mis-vig; I was paranoid you were manipulating the couch that game! The triple-watcher-claim disaster is a great memory (good on you for trying! at least it got me lynched first). Hope ya stick around on dlp since I'm meaning to get a game in there and it's weird to me that I've still never actually played with you
I'm a hoot
I really, really enjoyed the girls walk to get your/Empire's coffee. Escape room was also pretty damn amazing, even if I guessed one code by accident! I actually didn't get to play any F2F mafia games with you, well there was one, but we were scum buddies so it doesn't really count since I died right away anyways!
