In post 56, Fenchurch wrote:Do you still play or have an interest in social deduction games? I recently tried Blood on the Clocktower and I'm a fan.
I will always be a Mafia fan; my lack of playing is less to do with lack of interest and more to do with having a job, small children, and a somewhat obsessive personality. (Making puzzles is a bit safer in that regard - if I go on a run of setting a lot of puzzles, the worst that's going to happen is my brain will be tired at the end of it. Having arguments throughout the course of a day can be stressful.)

Other social deduction games
tend
to annoy me. Either they don't add enough mechanically to distinguish themselves, or they are too chaotic. I do like The Resistance ok (in fact, a random game of it at a BGG.con connected me with a local gaming group).
What’s the story? Do you ever come back to England? Would you like to come to a meet here? :wink:
The story is too personal to tell in full, and probably not that interesting otherwise. I dated a certain Goth Limey Chick (who was part of that original GL Mafia game I ran) for a little over two years, and the breakup was a bit... ambiguous? When it came time to apply for doctoral programs, I mostly applied over there and ended up in Brighton, where she was living at the time. We didn't get back together, and she moved back to Manchester the next year.

I lived in Brighton for 3 years, and just outside Greater London for a little over a year after that, writing up my thesis. In the middle of that last year, I started dating someone back home, and moved back to Texas in part because of that (and in part because it didn't make financial sense to stay over there while the doctorate was dragging out). That relationship lasted almost four years, and toward the end of that I lived in DFW for the first time. Got a job recommendation from an old friend, and I've been working there for just over ten years now.

I haven't been back to England since graduation, but when the kids are older we will definitely make a family trip or two.

Would you believe it took me 8 months to figure out the LSG forum back then.

2022 join daters are too new to dare click on this topic. It's like newborns.
Norwe is spontaneous, has a stream-of-consciouness posting style, usually posts on catch-ups by commenting on past pages posts, gets rather fired up in certain moments in games, is relatively as playful as me in games and likes casual shitposting

This is actually weirdly unsettling to me.
For some reason i have the mental image of these users having been on this site for at least 10 years before me, but then it turns out i actually joined this site earlier than them.

Bell and Isis are both new accounts of older users. So technically they have been on the site before you.

Not having the energy for mafia with your current commitments is very understandable, puzzles can be abandoned without upsetting people or disrupting games with prod dodges, lurking or replacements.
