Hey, folks, I'm in California visiting my wife's family now and I do have the internet and a device to type on.

My time will be limited as I visit and go places, but I will participate and will receive my role assuming they go out.

Are we close to starting?

Don't worry about it, Pizza, I was 44 when I became a dad and it's been fine.

We seem to be stalled at 10 signups here, and LightFoot initially wanted to be a sub. Should I just do a simple 9 player setup (Cop, 6 vanilla, 2 goons) and get started?

How about one of those semi-open setups? Like https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=2d3

Yeah, that's a good idea. Let's just leave this up over the holiday weekend and see where we are next week.

I'm kind of jonesing for a game, so I don't mind starting sooner rather that later with the smaller roster. But I can wait too.

Wishy-washy.

I'm okay waiting. But...where did everyone go? If it's the beach I am jealous. Sitting here in cold, rainy Colorado.

If we start on Monday you probably won't get much sense out of me (not that you ever do). I FINALLY got a dentist appointment to deal with these horrid things that are stuck in my mouth.

I am looking forward to the game

I was planning to go to dentist 16 months ago but Covid countered that. Now I just eat certain foods in the left-side of mouth.

Our province was almost Covid-free until recently. Now cases are mounting, and they're the delta variant. We've paid $100+ per person to join the queue for Moderna in January. Maybe.

Prime minister is being strongly criticised for slow distribution of inferior vaccines (We'll get Moderna privtely, if at all.) There would be a silver lining if it brought down this incompetent, probably corrupt military autocrat, but that's unlikely.

What other vaccines are the offering??

That’s horrendous. 3 out of 4
Of us have been vaccinated for months already. It was a shit show trying to get it but we did.

I live in a rural setting not far from Indianapolis. (My house has cornfields on three sides.) Tonight, looking from my front porch, I've been watching 14 different displays seen and heard along the horizon. Happy Independence Day to those who celebrate it!

Hello fellow one-side chewer. Same side, same reason. But I am also forever in dental denial so I will probably never get that implant (dentist practice is gone now, I would have to find somebody new to finish the job started in Feb 2020). Bad tooth gone but not replaced and, as it doesn't show and doesn't hurt I'll probably just let the absence continue.

Everything went well at the dreaded dentist. I was sedated and I wasn't aware of anything happening. When the nurse spoke to me I had to ask if it was over, it was. I thought I had been wide awake the whole time.

I do hope everyone else's dental treatment goes just as well!

Happy to hear that, Jan.

Personally, the dentist doesn't bother me as much as the barber. But you have reminded me that I need to schedule a dental appointment.

Hi Meeko!

In Meeko language, the above means "I would like to sub into this game!", right? Please confirm.

Mahaloth has already offered to sub in. I'd prefer not to use someone who has already been in the game, but since he's already asked, if nobody else is available I'll give him priority over the other dead townies.

Hi Meeko!

In Meeko language, the above means "I would like to sub into this game!", right? Please confirm.
So. Only after I posted the above, did I realize (fully) that it could be taken that way.

More than anything else, I found my self with three extra seconds to rub together today. And I felt like I would take an extended tour of things that I had let drop off. [Not sure the verb form, but I have taken back up my hobby? practice of entering sweepstakes today as well.]

The problem is, was, and remains, I am not sure I ever gave any of my Mafia games the amount of time they needed. Granted, it is a rabbit hole, and that hole branches off into game theory, and computer programing, and philosophy, just to name a few.

No.

This is just more of a shaking dust out, and ..... I guess thinking about thinking about returning. .... That, and I already saw that the spot is spoken for.

No, but seriously, the fractional part of me that may want to sub in, is more than taken up by the sub who apparently has already exercised a more formal request for it. And, I am ok with that, and do not want to get in anyone else's way, especially if they want it more (yes, they do) and if they have been waiting longer.


That's pretty much it. I could digress (further) but even then, I am not sure that every really served me well.

Where do you want me to do this?

Long story short ((TOO LATE!))

Work promised me a promotion, and a year to the day later, finally delivered on it.

Five extra hours (And Formally Full Time / Full Time benefits) means I had to give up my dedicated M-F 2:30 - 10:30 [Unpaid lunch in there] shift, and take whatever and whenever they give me. --- With no real predictability of in or out, or even department, to speak of. Working an extra hour is nothing, in comparison to random clock in / clock out times, in departments with more variable foot traffic. I feel that getting up 5 hours earlier a day, for a week, is doing more damage than simply adding on an extra hour, each day for a week.



But, Hey, I did get a nine cent an hour raise.
No, I'm not joking.

Not sure I am following completely, here, but to anticipate and be pre-emptive, you can go ahead and take the opening, Pizza, if there is one.



I'm confused after that.

WAIT. .... OH GOD.

Is that how you guys feel when I play? Consistently?!
