You handcuff QBs with their WRs and RBs with their backups.

It was kind of unintentional to have that pairing but yeah, I like the Steelers and don't mind rooting for them. Especially since it creates a win/win for me week 7 when they come to KC.

EccoRaven posted:It was inspired by an almost-identical idea that (Pecota?) had in a game last year. The idea of towns just saying "save or sacrifice" to lurkers just as a free choice has always been interesting to me. That was me, I had something similar in my No More Heroes game based on the Getting Trashed minigame. If I run another game sometime I'm definitely bringing a variant on it back.

What about having the lunch vote as well as a Kingmaker vote, and being King grants you a vig kill that can only be used on players in the bottom 25% of posters ranked by postcount, and can be used in addition to any other abilities that player may have I made up a similar role in CPig's CYOR recently where I was a stump that could give out lurker vigs and I had fun with it

Re Lurking: I just modkill anyone that gets below my post count. Then I purposely get my postcount to certain levels. Check I did "events" in Australian Fauna Mafia, floods, heatwave, fires, to thematically kill off lurkers. Only got Bowmore. As a mod, I think you need to be brutal and remorseless.

I would have only killed people for fake killing or copping actions. I also just copy and pasted an old OP without updating for my newer modding policies. I now allow running near the pool.

I bought more frozen rice the other day, so I am going to make a delicious dinner. We used to just call it "rice and salsa", but it's rice, ground beef, various cut up vegetables (tonight I'll be using green pepper, mushrooms, onions, and corn), taco seasoning, salsa, and a whole bunch of cheese. Then you eat it with tortilla chips. We used to make a big pot of it. Now I make a pan's worth, only use a little rice, and forgo the chips, but it's still basically the same and delicious and I'm looking forward to it.

I'm going to cut up some onion and sweat it with some chopped garlic, then toss in the chorizo first, then the ground beef. I'll add salt, pepper and a few other spices and I'll be eating tacos for a week. Possibly some nachos in there as well because the meat mix stores and reheats pretty well.

Hey Ecco did you watch Colbert last night? I thought he was great. My dad (who's gonna end up watching him anyways since he is an old person who watches so much CBS) didn't like his monologue but every time I made a comparison to Fallon he agreed with me that Colbert is better.

This just came up in a game, so don't talk about the context of me bringing it up in that game:merk posted:Yeah, SirSam is Scum Joat. "Gotta save my one shots" might be the worst scum lie in 2015. What do people think about Mafia Awards? The "major" categories could get pretty 2+2-ish, but the off-shoot categories would be funny and interesting, like:
We could get random ideas from the whole community for awards and who should be on the committee that nominates. Then, the nomination committee could do some work in creating the list of options for each award which the whole Discussion Thread would vote on. Each player would get one vote that would be collected privately (could votefinder do this?), and then the awards could get revealed.

Amoeba102 posted:This is a bad idea There have been some very very good fakeclaims this year (QPQ in Ecco's game two games ago) and some very funny/fail town gambits this year (CCKeane in Ecco's last game was funny to me after seeing him flip), and even some very funny setup decisions this year (Hal as an actual Death Miller like eight months ago which took 10-15 pages of discussion at the town (me mainly) not believing it). If you ignore the major categories, like "Best Town Performance," I think it would be pretty funny to look back on past games in the year. 50 loves bringing up his Survivor gambit in Lost Mafia, and we'd get to reminisce on plays like that for the past year as a community.

The committee could even choose to discard them if it's circle jerky in the nomination process.

BottleKnight posted:Yeah the actual complimentary awards are circlejerky and bad. I like the funny ones though. The nomination and voting process kind of forces the discussion. One complaint voiced by Tremendous Taste awhile ago on why our Discussion Thread is bad is because it's too big and too circle jerky about non-mafia content. This Mafia Awards thing forces us to talk not only about mafia but in particular about mafia played by our community over the last year. Something funny discussed here could cause someone to go read a past game... which I think is what we want out of this thread, no?

Complimentary awards can be fine as long as they're objectively provable. "Earliest successful scumread", or "Most scum correctly identified in one mass read"
