Woohoo! A lifetime supply of fishsticks!

And I would like to take this opportunity to announce that in honor of 100 Strong Bad Emails, the next game of mafia will be . . .

Strong Bad Mafia!

Hosted by Pat and Jon Boy!

No, you can't be Strong Bad or The Cheat, 'cause those parts are taken by Pat and Jon Boy!

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

I am so down with that. I call Strong Sad.

"I'm Evil"

Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :

It was a hard decision to decide between Trog and Strong Bad, but ultimately, the creative synergy between Strong Bad and The Cheat pushed me to dump the 'Trog' nick for just that game.

I will, however, sell it to the highest bidder.

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :

You seriously expect me to play mafia modded by "the cheat?" What do I look like, a beef stew?

Posted by Slash the Berzerker (Member # 556) on :

Does someone get to play the stick? Cuz that sounds pretty sweet.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

We're saving that spot especially for you, Slash.

Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :

C'mon Slash.

If you play, mafia won't suck anymore.

Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :

dibs on Strong Sad. Since there seems to be a monopoly on male characters, I reserve the right to go drag.

Dang, I totally didn't see peterh's first dib. I shall be Whats-her-face.

Can I be the poopsmith?

Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :

Marzipan?

Posted by Slash the Berzerker (Member # 556) on :

I will play the stick, if only because each turn I will do exactly the same thing.

"I stand around in the field."

Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :

Cool. Slash's in .

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

My roommie (Emily not Damander--I'm luring them all in one by one... [Evil]

) wants to reserve the right to be "The Modestly Hot Girl" you know, to get you through the hard times. [Big Grin]

She would have posted herself, but has yet to successfully register.

Me, I'll have to think about this one... [Big Grin]

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

How does this work? If I wanted to play, what should I do?

Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :

Beg.

To be honest, we're still in the middle of the current game.

We'll post more info as it comes available.

At the rate that people aren't dying, I don't know if that game will ever end.

Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :

Actually I think I want to be marshie.

Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :

I think I'll be Stinkoman.

And is mental institution mafia ever going to happen?

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

I still say we need Discworld Mafia. Maybe I can run one concurrently.

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

I shouldn't get involved in another game so soon, but I totally wanted dibs on The Ugly One. Oh well. [Razz]

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

OK, consider this a beg to be included in the next one.

[ March 17, 2004, 10:11 AM: Message edited by: mr_porteiro_head ]

Posted by skrika03 (Member # 5930) on :

I actually don't like the way mafia makes me feel about the people involved. So I'm really not going to play. I know I should just stay out of your thread, but I thought people who value relationships should and are being wooed in should know it's a risk.

Edit: Mans alive, turns out I just had the PMS. Okay, if you or your significant other are scheduled to have the PMS you might not enjoy getting killed in effigy as much as normally.

I want to be the guy that's going to miss videogames.

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

Jon Boy,

As far as characters go, if we run out, we could also use 1936 strongbad, the sneak, halloween characters, the yello dello, characters from books (trisha the severe hottie, a svelt prince of town), eh steve, and others I'm to tired to think up right now.

Sorry sarcasticmuppet. My brother and I were just having a conversation about which of the bad brothers we'd be, since there are 3 boys in our family. I am definitely strong sad. Cure poster and all.

Posted by Xavier (Member # 405) on :

I want to play!

And I will see about getting Val to play too [Smile]

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :

Nah. But you go ahead. I'm not interested. All of my online time is taken up talking to my boyfriend. [Taunt]

Posted by Xavier (Member # 405) on :

Hmmm, it stands to reason that if you can't play cause all your online is used talking to me, that I would not be able to play for the same reason...

How about we play a joint character?

[ March 17, 2004, 01:32 PM: Message edited by: Xavier ]

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :

Good logic. [Kiss]

Edit: Wouldn't that cross the cheese-factor line?

[ March 17, 2004, 01:34 PM: Message edited by: Valentine014 ]

Posted by MEC (Member # 2968) on :

Or you just spend more time online, or less time listening.

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :

Heh. That's funny. Spend more time online?!

Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :

Tell you what, Tom. If you play, the moderators won't include clues in anything we write.

Posted by Snarky (Member # 4406) on :

Hooray! Tom's playing Strong Bad Mafia!

The question is, which character should he be?

Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :

Are you having problems thinking up a Strong Bad mafia character?

Have you tried the homestar runner character finder thing?

It really works! Just ask Pat.

"I tried it and got This , it must be heaven sent."

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

I am The Cheat.

Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :

I'm The Cheat, too.

Posted by skrika03 (Member # 5930) on :

I got StrongBad. Da_G may now get in the line of people who want to be my friends.
P.S. wait, Pat is StrongBad too. Someday I'm going to have to meet Pat to make sure we aren't the same person. But if we are, the universe might collapse. By the way, is baking and the croissants really in line with that? I haven't watched all 100 emails. I think I mainly got it by virtue of my rapier wit and wanting to crush France.

Posted by The Cheat (Member # 5204) on :

<random The Cheat noises>

Translation: No, I'm The Cheat!

[ March 19, 2004, 02:49 PM: Message edited by: The Cheat ]

Posted by skrika03 (Member # 5930) on :

For some reason my brain keeps reading that as "I'm no The Cheat".

Edit: Did you just add bold to "I'm"? Now it's all clear.

Posted by UofUlawguy (Member # 5492) on :

You know, out of that whole cast there's only one female character, so you'd think the chances were overwhelmingly in favor of being one of the males, but No. Apparently I'm Marzipan.

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

I'm going to go ahead and get dibs on the cheerleader, since no one else did. I'll forego the ugly one for now.

Besides, I got her on the QUIZ .

[ March 19, 2004, 03:24 PM: Message edited by: PSI Teleport ]

Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :

I came out as Marzipan. I guess I'm not too surprised.

Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :

Oh noooh.. it's a Strong Bah!

Posted by Telperion the Silver (Member # 6074) on :

I came out as The Cheat???? Wha...?

Posted by skrika03 (Member # 5930) on :

Strong Baa. A freshly shorn ram wearing a helmet. Is Strong Bad lacking a shirt or is his outfit just skin colored?

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

For those looking for info and details regarding all things H*R, check this out.

Within that site is a characters page which lists all the major and minor characters on H*R. There are more than enough characters for a major game of Mafia.

I really like this site for hard to find info, such as Easter Eggs and transcripts of everything on the site.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Cool links. Thanks, Peter.

Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :

And people can still make up their own characters based on inside jokes, like Clever Dan or someone.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

*bumpity*

So who all is going to play?

[ March 21, 2004, 05:47 PM: Message edited by: Jon Boy ]

Posted by Trisha the Severe Hottie (Member # 6000) on :

Is Pat- uh- I mean StrongBad up to modding again so soon?

Posted by Trisha the Severe Hottie (Member # 6000) on :

I can't believe it's been a whole week since I was killed. Pajeba, I'm impressed you're already up for another round. But for all the twists and turns, the game did have a pretty satisfying ending. And if we start by the 1st, we should be done before I get PMS at least.

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

I'm up for playing. Possibly, if I decide not to be lazy. And if I can get this darn essay done. Or... at least started.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

I guess I need to get in touch with Pat and see exactly what he wants to do.

Posted by Trisha the Severe Hottie (Member # 6000) on :

I think he wants to write us a clue review for Little House.

Posted by knightswhosayni! (Member # 4096) on :

Ken says he wants to play again too, despite his early death in this last game.

I soo call The Sneak.

Ni!

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

In case anyone hasn't read the whole thread recently and needs a reminder, I was the first to get dibs on any character. I am: Strong Sad.

Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :

*bumped for the noob*

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

AHHH! I call Homsar! I call Homsar!!!

In the event that there's a mafia, that is.

Posted by St. Yogi (Member # 5974) on :

Did anyone call Tire? I'm sooo Tire!

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

So is H*R mafia acutally going to happen?

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Yes. I believe we're currently planning on mid-May.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

Where was this announced?

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

I honestly don't remember.

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

ba-da-bump

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

If we're thinking a mid-May start, does that mean it's time to start working on profiles, etc. in preparation for the game beginning?

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :

bump since folks are trying to dibs roles on a more miscellaneous thread

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

*bump for Pat or Jon to see and hopefully comment*

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

I haven't heard from Pat recently, but I think we're still on.

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

Umm... Mid May = Pat's Disney Trip?

I call Homestar Runner, if it hasn't been already. And I'll play this time. April is just not my month, and May and June is, so I'll be in my tip toppity shape.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Early May = Pat's Disney trip

Mid-to-late May = Homestar Runner Mafia

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

::smirks::

Good, now I got the right weekend.

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :

We could almost conduct a game on want2write's threads and no one would be the wiser.

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :

The profiles thread is up on grenme, here.

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :

Well done my doppelganger... may you continue to flumox those less fortunate than you.

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :

Here we go.
You know, I had an opportunity to eat quite a bit of marzipan over the last week. Reminds me I need to write my sister a thank you note.

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :

Watch out, Julian Sands! (the strong sad easter egg)
Frowny Smurf [Frown]

Pop-eyed smurf [Eek!]

Caffeine Smurf [Angst]

Constipates smurf [Grumble]

Low self-esteem smurf [Hail]

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

So where are all the slackers who said they want to play but haven't posted a profile yet?

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

That's right. I'm looking at you, T_Smith, Xavier, Rappin' Ronnie Reagan, mr_porteiro_head, knightswhosayni!, Psycho Triad, and St. Yogi (and anyone else I missed).
