I guess I missed a memo...what the fuck are you all talking about? -- nm - Jim May 17, 08:05 12
- AMBUSH JIM -- nm - JaxSean May 17, 08:09 2
  - you had me at BUSH. nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 08:11 1
    - Please don't say that. I finally watched the Tina Fey SNL last night. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 08:13
- nubby is doing a study in group dynamics. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 08:06 6
  - yeah, and now i'm bitter i didn't sign up. -- nm - Andie May 17, 08:08 5
    - ugh. nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 08:09 4
      - we may be able to keep threads going on a backboard to not pollute the current board. - TFox May 17, 08:11 3
        
        That even makes sense, for the players that miss some. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 08:13
        
        Since I've been voted out quickly I'm thinking of starting a game with my old friends I played with many years ago, but as a Facebook group - Guigue May 17, 08:13
        
        This... - Jim May 17, 08:13
- It's a game nubby posted about half a dozen times yesterday. -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 08:06 1
  - Like I said, "I guess I missed a memo". -- nm - Jim May 17, 08:11
If at the end of this, my guess of Mara was correct, I'm going to laugh and laugh and laugh. -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 08:01 14
- not that i want her dead per se, but i don't understand the logic of using the save when we knew precisely nothing. -- nm - TFox May 17, 08:06 7
  - I would think the logic would be along the lines of "we don't know anything, there's a 17/20 chance she's a hen, why take that chance?" -- nm - Ender May 17, 08:08 6
    - because there was literally no chance of making a more educated guess. -- nm - TFox May 17, 08:10 4
      - Right, so why not wait another round so you have a little info to go on before killing one of your own? -- nm - Ender May 17, 08:11 3
        
        if you had unlimited saves, i could see it. it just seems to me that its a limited resource, so there's a more strategic time to use it. -- nm - TFox May 17, 08:12 2
        
        It's one per round and one per person, so he can't use it on her again, but he couldn't have anyway if she were dead. -- nm - Ender May 17, 08:17
        
        One per round. This game doesn't go more than ten to twelve rounds at its maximum. Use it every round. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 08:13
    - Yeah, all the votes still count as votes for the pattern-sake. -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 08:09
- I didn't realize someone could be protected from ambush as well as foxes... -- nm - znufrii May 17, 08:02 5
  - It's in the rules ya'll.......3 special hens. 1 can save someone one time. -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 08:03 4
    - Was that in Paragraph 12, sub-heading 31, footnote 16, parenthetical aside #7? -- nm - TWuG May 17, 08:06 2
      - No, but it was under what type of cheese you use to sound the horn and capture the magic mouse with titanium nutsack. -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 08:06 1
        
        :-) The rules for this hens thing seem a bit more complex, but that may be a familiarity thing. -- nm - TWuG May 17, 08:09
    - yeah I got that now. - znufrii May 17, 08:05
Borders likley to be broken up as no buyer interested in company as is. Amazon and Barnes and Noble interested in parts of it. - Walt_Disney May 17, 07:58 2
- I love books, too. But seeing brick and mortar stores go under doesn't bother me. The web is way more efficient - TWuG May 17, 08:04
- OOOoh, I better verify I have no gift cards of theirs. -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 07:59
Week+ of work email...SLAIN. -- nm - Mel Profit May 17, 07:57 17
- I was out for a day yesterday for a meeting and I'm buried this morning. I can't imagine what you're going through. - ty97 May 17, 07:59 3
  - the fact that it's after 11am and I'm sober is...distressing. - Mel Profit May 17, 08:02 1
    - "Last Tuesday was a lot more fun." -- nm - Reagen May 17, 08:06
  - it takes much less paper to bury him. nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 08:00
- You should stand on your desk and yell "I have vanquished the beast!" -- nm - Reagen May 17, 07:58 12
  - anyone in an office...anyone...would totally understand this. -- nm - Mel Profit May 17, 08:04
  - Is it second breakfast already? -- nm - oblique May 17, 07:59 10
    - We actually did Second Breakfast once during our honeymoon. - Diva May 17, 08:02 7
      - Where in Jamaica were you? -- nm - pmb May 17, 08:10 1
        
        Ocho Rios. -- nm - Mel Profit May 17, 08:20
      - I imagine slave children cooking our room service breakfasts unfortunately. -- nm - Mel Profit May 17, 08:03 4
        
        "That was the tiniest fry-cook I've ever had serve me." -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 08:10 2
        
        that was the tiniest person I ever served." -- nm - fry cook May 17, 08:11 1
        
        I think groiny missed me while I was away. -- nm - Mel Profit May 17, 08:13
        
        :( -- nm - Diva May 17, 08:06
    - that would be the beauty -- nm - Mel SI May 17, 08:01
    - *finishes up the half pound of bacon* Of course it isn't. - Will Hunting May 17, 07:59

From my friends Facebook. His kid drew this in "Sunday school" this past weekend. Jesus = Jedi -- (link) - oblique May 17, 07:51 [Image]
you know what makes no sense? only a family member can drop off a passport application for someone else at a passport canada office. - Andie May 17, 07:48

- Well, I liked his work in the Power Station. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 07:53
If I pulled a muscle in my hip--overextended, no contact with anything, should it be bruised? It is. -- nm - Amy May 17, 07:41 8
- yes it is possible. It has happened to me before. -- nm - decline May 17, 07:43
- if you pull it bad enough, yes. - groiny May 17, 07:42 6
  - The pain isn't too bad, though. I landed strangely and my hip sort of popped and went out. But I finished zumba class. There's pain, but the bruise - Amy May 17, 07:45 1
    - I saw this episode of Friends, too. "It's darker and more painful. That means it's healing" -- nm - oblique May 17, 07:45
  - groineyetiger -- nm - oblique May 17, 07:43 3
    - welcome to 2004! nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 07:43 2
      - We should do throwback day and all use our old handles :) -- nm - oblique May 17, 07:44 1

Did the Thrashers Move to Winnipeg Yet? -- (link) - Reagen May 17, 07:37 3
- [deleted] 2
  - You'd have to move the Preds to the SE at minimum. - Reagen May 17, 07:45
  - I was thinking about this and I would say probably not. - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 07:44
i love this picture of trump -- (link) - prayformojo May 17, 07:36 2

- it's the platonic ideal of the shit-eating grin. -- nm - Reagen May 17, 07:38
Dear co-worker please don't get an attitude when I mess something up because you didn't tell me not to remove certain names. Don't assume. Please tell - lileve May 17, 07:34
Berry, I meant to ask before. With Rackspace shutting down Slicehost, what are you going to have to do with ST? -- nm - oblique May 17, 07:32 1
- Won't it just automatically convert to Rackspace Cloud? -- nm - decline May 17, 07:41
DAY THREE - nubby May 17, 07:30 32
- Whoops. Sorry nubs. Didn't realize the game started last night. - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 08:02 3
  - (see? i vote hen.) -- nm - TFox May 17, 08:05 1
    - seriously. -- nm - JaxSean May 17, 08:09
  - Considering there have been three days since then, it should be over tomorrow! -- nm - Spawn May 17, 08:05
- That's... surprising. - TFox May 17, 07:33 22
  - Just a thought...is it possible there are no foxes? - JaxSean May 17, 07:41 5
    - The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. - znufrii May 17, 07:48
    - I say no only because like Guigue and I were saying, we've played variations of this before. - TFox May 17, 07:44 2
      - True. I just didn't know if there was that possibility. - JaxSean May 17, 07:47
      - werefoxes? nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 07:45
    - [deleted]
  - By all means, they should continue to do so. - znufrii May 17, 07:34 13
    - We should probably have some discussion on narrowing the pool of targets before people start voting next. - TFox May 17, 07:41 12
      - agreed - znufrii May 17, 07:45 11
        
        My gut feeling --- if you get targeted...then you can open up on all the strategy... - Will Hunting May 17, 07:56
        
        imo, there's no point to be cagey about that. there's no logic in the wolves targeting their kills, because the players don't go away. - TFox May 17, 07:50 7
        
        wait... - znufrii May 17, 07:51 6
        
        sorry. i'm mixing up the games. foxes. -- nm - TFox May 17, 07:51 5
        
        It's a lot easier in the board game versions of this game where each player has to undertake specific actions each turn - znufrii May 17, 07:53 4
        
        You have to go blindly at first. A good trick IMO is to pick a target early, and if some players start defending him/her and change the target, they - Guigue May 17, 07:57 1
        
        (BTW I'll talk general strategies but nothing specific to the current game) -- nm - Guigue May 17, 07:58
        
        or just being in person, where you can try to evaluate body language and stuff. - TFox May 17, 07:54 1
        
        yup. -- nm - znufrii May 17, 07:55
        
        There's the frustration of this game: You agree we should discuss but you are afraid to discuss, so how do we ever discuss? - ty97 May 17, 07:49 1
        
        ty97 = imo, not a fox. -- nm - TFox May 17, 07:52
  - nub, can you recap the alive/dead/fox/hen statuses, pleaseandthankyou? -- nm - TFox May 17, 07:33 1
    - Sorry, I was in a meeting. I'll repost after the roll. -- nm - nubby May 17, 08:11
- This might be worse than Cheerleader day. nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 07:32
- WTF? -- nm - oblique May 17, 07:31 2
  - We've elected you as the Rooster while you were gone - Epiphany May 17, 07:41
  - ST: You miss a little, you miss a lot. -- nm - nubby May 17, 07:32

      - sorry. -- nm - znufrii May 17, 07:46

    - Artie did the Safety Dance. -- nm - Mel Profit May 17, 07:41

        can he feel them? nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 07:43 1
        
        If not, he can at least hear them. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 07:54
- Another key detail (for me): the accident was before he even started college (18 yrs old tops). - TFox May 17, 07:29
- 10 minute bad decesion, cost him a lifetime of pain. I think it is a fantastic story. nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 07:28
- if he didn't hurt/kill anyone else then he has suffered enough and should be commended. -- nm - zork May 17, 07:27 1
  - just realised that you wanted a heroic/commendable choice. heroic. -- nm - zork May 17, 07:28
- [deleted]
- all implied moralizing aside, that is an incredible technological acheivement. -- nm - znufrii May 17, 07:22
- That is awesome. Not sure what you are getting at with your link title, though. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 07:18 2
  - His recovery was necessary due to his own stupidity...so is he still 'heroic' or just commendable? -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 07:19 1
    - Hmm. Either way, I applaud him. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 07:25
- Sure. If he overcame an illness, he's a hero. This, he's just very lucky. - TWuG May 17, 07:04
