There have been silencers in previous games, but typically it’s announced in the night write up that so-and-so can’t post for a day and night phase. This strikes me as doing the bare minimum to remain active and simply playing by lurking...something I freely admit I’ve done many times in the past because one can learn a bit when being quiet and watching others. (There were also the times I worked 60+ hours at a time in the winter before but that’s no longer a thing for me, haha.)

<p>So the concert went a little later than expected. Just got home.</p><p> </p><p> Looking over day 1, I know in the long ago here on GDS a D1 Lynch was never really pushed for; it was to get an idea of how people played.</p><p> </p><p> Yet in this game, starting at about 8 hours before deadline, Mach was pushed from halfway to lynch to L-2. I want to get another read on it when my mind isn’t blown away by Christmas Eve/Sarajevo but basically from vote 8 to end of phase (I’m counting MLT’s failed vote in this too), I’m looking a bit more carefully into. Something just doesn’t feel right with 6 (7) votes coming in the last 15% of the phase for Day 1.</p><p> </p><p> Just my initial thoughts as I crash for the night.</p>

Hello, Derek. Long time no see, eh? I’ll be catching up more in a few hours—I’m currently out of the house to see Trans Siberian Orchestra in concert tonight—but from the jump things look rather hectic overnight. Lots of moving pieces, plus the end of the last day phase...give me a bit after this concert ends and I’ll at least have thoughts to post before I hit the hay for the night.

<p>/lurks</p><p> </p><p> Have 9 days off from work starting tomorrow. Might be able to read along or even sub in a dire emergency.</p>

I would commit to this but with getting NLW reopened (again) and finally putting my e-fed character into retirement I can't commit to a full time gig. But I could knock out a couple of bios if you give me some high points or even a rough idea to work from. We can discuss over PMs if needed.

I'm out this season. That whole pesky trying to land a job and place to live a state away thing.

From another forum I frequent, if you don't count the 20-minute tag match, the wrestling time was nine minutes, seven seconds.

I'm in complete agreement with you on this one.

Think he was just selling the GTS.

<p>I've never liked FPS games for the most part, and this is starting from the Doom era. Borderlands and Left 4 Dead are about the only exceptions I have. It's not because they are popular, it's just that I find it difficult to get into that type of game. Personal preference. If that makes me a hipster, so be it. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> On-topic now....</p><p> </p><p> What grinds my gears? Co-workers who are half again my age or older who make me think I'm back in high school, with the gossiping and putdowns.</p>

Dolph Ziggler has the answer in one word. #HEEL

It's been 7 years, right? I guess we were due for this to be re-hashed.

Crowd was rather hot tonight, though not on the level of Chicago at MITB. Was a heck of a night.

As one of those "millions" you mentioned, I'm afraid that on this we'll have to disagree. KOTOR was good, I'll give it that, but I could not get into Morrowind or Oblivion as much. And considering that I've beaten a majority of the "main" Final Fantasy series, I'll admit that I may be a bit biased in my opinion. Which leads me to say that in my opinion, Final Fantasy VI is the best RPG ever. It's not everyone's cup of tea, I know...but to this day that is the only RPG I can boot up after not playing it for several months to a year and still know where everything is and what order to go in without needing to talk to people.

I dunno..."Who Let The Dogs Out" was in vogue in Baltimore the year the Ravens won the Super Bowl. The following year, it was all but forgotten around here. So it's hard to predict whether "Who Dat..." will be around in five years' time.

Indeed...that was a botched table spot.

I give it a month at most before Orton wins the belt back. Orton/Cena LXXXVIII at WrestleMania, anyone?

Well, we've talked about the Barebones incident, and we've put that behind us. However, there remains the VG Mafia...and of course you know, this means WAR!!!1!!!one!! VOTE: Midnightnick

Here are my nominations: FUNNIEST ROLECLAIM: Antithesis for the Don Diddy Kong roleclaim in VG Mafia (though as a fellow Sidekick Mafiaso, I could understand why he did it) Most likely to die day one award: (tie) Ya_Its_me, Midnightnick, and Derek_b (The first two for the shenanigans during BArebones, the third for being such an unbearable smart-@$$ having won VG Mafia) BEST INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE: djthefunkchris, in Barebones Mafia.
