Saw it with Rummy - didn't watch the first one - really enjoyed smart-mouthed Spidey but couldn't get past the tonal whiplash between Peters various woes throughout the film and putting his mask on to go out and crack wise again. Also - Jamie Foxx's pre transformation Electro - kinda reminiscent of Jim Carreys Ridder but once with his powers he seems to gain a completely different personality.

When did it become so normal to use so much technology?
Marcamillian replied to Cube's topic in General Chit Chat
One thing I do worry about with the rise in connectivity in the world. The ability to find groups of people just like you. This is no doubt an amazing thing but I fear that the power of finding people that validate your own world view is all too tempting. As Diageo says - its not technology itself that is doing the damage but it does change the choices we can make. Sitting at home with your family watching TV you either talked to them or you didn't. It was less the case with single landlines in a home but with text/instant messaging on personal devices you have the third option of talking to your friends instead. People that more closely share your interests will be more appealing, I would imagine, to less communication with the people you live with / your family. Beyond the family example - I worry that having the option to talk to people who you already identify with, not inherently because it isn't direct personal contact but by the greater choice afforded by technology, will make people less comfortable in talking with people they don't identify with. This could lead to poor conflict management (see: the internet) and generally a less interesting life by way of the fact that you arn't exposed to as many points of view. -
As many people have stated - the two terms are not mutually exclusive. As this seems to have become a discussion of the merit of his work - The street art he produces is there for message not personal profit. He can't profit directly off of something on someone else's building - though as Moogle says - it could be viewed as advertising for books/prints he does gain from. Most on the pieces on the street are more concerned with message (akin to protest) rather than aesthetics. We are lucky enough to live in a country that does provide free museums but there is still a cultural barrier that stops people from seeing art as relevant to them. I personally think that the potential damage caused is justified by the reach that displaying "art" in a very different environment provides, bringing criticisms of social issues to a wider audience rather than the gallery crowd.

Gentlemen's Mafia III - The Court of Miracles
Marcamillian replied to Jonnas's topic in General Chit Chat
First of all, being one of the worst offenders for inconsistent activity I apologise. Danny - #1 I can understand the frustration of the rhymes but it added a little spice for me as a player and also was a little reaction to the bare faced statement of fact that seems to be the norm. In terms of my suspicious behaviour - as a linchproof protector I thought I could make myself safe from mafia killing by being suspicious. Just as people started suspecting me I get team-swapped and no longer lynch proof. All my planing was for naut -

Your logic sir is flawed, Were I a villain I'd claim responsibility quiet night for sure, His protective claim is just as mine, I hardly think we have the time The Queens men are at our door, Though of whom we lynch we cant be sure, I ask @Jon Dedede who he thinks to lynch, The only one to have a clue in this pinch, I lay my vote in his hands -

As most will know by this stage in the game, Only PM's on failure and I am the same, I'm aware that my story is awfully convenient, Vote how you wish I am not the assailant -

Eenuh is correct - my night was spent on rest, No excuse my timekeeping is not the best, As heroic said - night 10 I protected the Dane, I wish for my sake last night i did the same, The harlequin indeed has been a protector, Sprout has his life on night 8 to thank me for, My lies are a result of my unusual might, A town lynch makes me immune at night. Unravelling of unruly claims, Protected me so I could do the same, I was allowed to be suspicious so the queen whould not speak my name. -

Why speak the truth when a lie is more fun, The hangman, the thief I am neither one; Masks upon masks the harlequin wears, Sprout would've suffered dearly were they not there. A liar, a rhymer, a pest I may be, All in the effort to entertain me -

I've stated my concern many a time, Each lacking response however I rhyme; Facts stated but contradict my fate, I shall vote : rummy before it's too late -

My voice has faded though my mind still keen, My presence less felt than it should have been; With the purple peril ejected from the court, to bring up again a long past thought, A question asked of the second night, Rummy dear why did you fail to fight? -

Marcamillian replied to Jonnas's topic in General Chit Chat
From the mists of time I emerge, From this court little goodness has been purged; I am still concerned by the purveyor of Rum, Lest not we forget his power protection claim that did none; Alas this is not the current point at hand, From this court Sheikah for Diageo must be banned; A claim of neutral doesn't help the court, Our joint success doesn't rest on his sort; The the huntress before and the neutrals to come, Criteria met he'll no doubt run, I'm afraid sir I think you must go That is I intend to Vote : Diageo -

Dear friends and enemies, less active than than I could have been; I return to court lacking a lead, but plenty to read. Master Peeps you have a marvelous machine under construction, though I worry for its function, Come its successful completion - having completed your mission; How prey tell does it serve the court, victorious surely you'll leave without thought. Alas there are bigger fish to fry, Rummy my suspicion did not die; Back on the courts second night, you did not protect as you might; -

You saw through my lie, For the nooseman am I ; upon the gallows have I spent many a day, I pass no judgement, I just did what she say....d she has fallen from grace now let her hang from the rope, Without her the rebels will surely lose hope -

Fine sir try as I might, No disguise quite matches one worn in plain sight. The game of bluff and the double could be debated all day, I believe you are good and were born this way. You may see a great many things whilst skulking at night; I am a man of deception, you won't see me quite right; I am what I am and I do what I can, I'm popeye the sailor man *TOOT* *TOOT* -

@Rummy sir something is amiss, I shall Vote : Rummy and my reason is this - With a court so willing to state interceptions, the power you claim could aid deception; Claim protection, the promise of aid, Comes after a success is made. A power easy to hide and lacking in outcome, Served me so little, don't try to fool me son. -
I shall throw my hat into the ring for running a game. Little something different, not got it all nailed down yet but - Wild West themed with lynches replaced with gunfights at noon.

Deception my friend unhinges the good as well as the bad, A small mistruth gives us more then we had. -

As mentioned by another, I sought that not being used; More importantly sirs I've spotted a ruse. Young master Rummy claimed to look over me Night two, Despite my words I was stopped that night. Pray tell purveyor of Rum, quite what do you do, With your protective powers surely you would have put up a fight. -

Gentlemen's Mafia III - The Court of Miracles
Marcamillian replied to Jonnas's topic in General Chit Chat
***** I would just like to say that whilst Rummy did reveal off his own back I can see why he did it. People miss these subtle hints because they arn't looking for them, they scan posts for facts. Facts. Facts. Facts. Something set down in stone that they act on. If the person is mafia - whoopie. If not lynch the person that provided the incorrect information. I'm a player that really enjoys layering stuff in. That little thrill of seeing people pick up on stuff. That little nod of acknowledgement is where that is half of the enjoyment of the game for me. Being requested at every juncture to confirm and re confirm makes me die a little inside. ****** -

The spirit of play has died it seems, With none who care for play; Rum spilled the beans, In a scheme where speech is seen by all, the wise do try, to be subtle. Beaten back by those that refuse to yield, The game of deception sinks away, Optimal paths to be revealed. For those men too scared to act, only move on certainty of plain fact. -

Where is your sense of game? Should every word be spoke so plain? Though English may not be your native tongue, won't you please let me have my fun For I am but one of Fagins sons, Soon as walk the theft begun, Despite my skills there was none to take, A wasted night spent about the Sheikh -

I've clearly said how I acted, The janitors suspicions are most unfounded, blocking my fellows is not my game, please deist from placing me in the frame.
