hello friends I just finished listening to crime and punishment, and when looking in the wiki article on it cause i had no idea what any of the names actually were cause i dont speak russian i found an amazing fact, which is, that the creators of Columbo claim that columbo was based on Porfiry ! ! ! reading the scenes with porfiry and rodion was indeed like watching an episode of columbo, but from the criminal's point of view, and were my favorite parts of that super great book. i posted this here because i coudln't think of anyone else who would care. hope you all are well, good day

Read The Plague next if you haven't. I like it a lot more than The Stranger, all things considered.

Max posted:Read The Plague next if you haven't. I like it a lot more than The Stranger, all things considered. Having read both The Stranger and The Plague, I liked both, but felt The Stranger is much superior. The Fall is EVEN BETTER Camus. The Fall is loving amaaaaazing. Here's a great Mafia-relevent quote: “Men are never convinced of your reasons, of your sincerity, of the seriousness of your sufferings, except by your death. So long as you are alive, your case is doubtful; you have a right only to their skepticism.” ― Albert Camus, The Fall

hi, someone reminded me of these games. Quantum Leap Something Loud Comes Next the latter is probably the worst moderating experience i've ever had. it's kind of a like a battlestar version of mafia. i think it's a cool concept but it requires a lot of work on the part of the moderation team, i'd love to see someone do something cool with it.
