Sméagol is some weird secret genius, I swear.

Watched the first two eps and I've loved it all so far. From Coogan's "countryside" music choice to the relentless tabletop impressions, it's just great stuff. because you know that they're two real-life friends improvising/performing it adds to the detail, it adds to the banter. And what banter! It's a chucklesome tirade of wit and fun... I hear this is a psuedo-sequel to something they did together before, set on... a cruise, I think? I totally missed that and regret doing so. Wonderful, confident stuff. Isn't it curious how the best Brit comedy seems to be from the 'previous' generation? Harry and Paul, Armstrong and Miller and these guys. The BBC has done well.

In my house, smoking is allowed -- but only downstairs. I'm staying in the attic room. It's not a massive house - ground floor is kitchen and lounge, next floor up is two bedrooms and a loo, then there's me. So I'm a smoker, but also a bit of a night-owl. Generally speaking, the rest of the house goes to bed by 11pm, and generally speaking, I wait 'bout an hour after that before I open one of my roof-windows and have a crafty cigarette. But it's been raining for... like, three hours straight! I could sneak downstairs quietly and light one up (I probably will, actually), or I could risk opening a window up here and leaning out (will get windswept and wet. Bad idea). So anyway - the purpose of THIS opaque thread -- what do your parents NOT know about you? (here, the case is that my dad and his wife don't know I smoke up here when they're asleep. It's probably the ONLY stupid secret I keep from them)

Well for it to be convincing you'd have to add a whole new paragraph, and the time it takes to write a new paragraph in a busy and popular thread is a time of risk - someone might see the original post and then notice your alteration and raise the alert. if it bothers the GM that much, then they could enforce a rule of their own commanding players to not post unless someone else has posted after them. You should question why the rule's there in the first place, and remember that technically you're playing amongst friends, and any such loophole devilry will be remembered even when the game is ended. Rather than trying to change the system that houses the game, try changing the game? The automerge function is something we've abided by for a long time, and it's not really that big an issue.

Dude - I dunno if you've already done it, but go to the milk bar and buy the ghost map thing offa the dude behind the counter. Go to the location and you do a sort of arena-type thing where you essentially stock up on a couple of small medkits and a large one, some iron bars, a shovel and a pick-axe and-- dude, I won't spoil the surprise, but when you get to the final room... DAMN I was surprised by what I got. A good idea is to perhaps do a few of the rooms (once you clear the room you enter the door behind you - it will respawn new enemies) then leave. You can restart the challenge and reap a few more goodies. Sorta sad that I didn't farm it a bit... but once you get to the end you'll probably agree with me that it's well worth finishing. EDIT: Just actually left/completed the side-mission and the portal's still there. Will Be Back For More. I bought a car - quinn's one. I've reached 97mph~ downhill, top speed is normally 80. It burns through fuel like a mofo and is dented real easily, plus the turning is a bitch... but it gets me places quick. May buy a different car in a bit to see if it'll let me keep both. Honestly, each session I've had with this game has thrown up a totally different experience so far. Like you, I don't feel like I'm very far into the game - but I'd hazard a guess at maybe 3 'episodes'. I've plugged about 8-9 hours into this so far (quite fun to see how drastically my leaderboard ranking has altered day-by-day, from nearly all S rank a couple of days ago to all C's again!) and while I feel like there's a lot left to go, I get the impression the storyline will finish sooner than I reckon, leaving the side-quests to complete. Once I've done the story and as much of the side-quest/card-collecting as I can from the map I'll check the achievements. 1000 spread over 12 achievements is a bit mental. No doubt one of them is for completing the game on hard. Cripes.

Growing a tash from scratch is tricky. I think everyone looks like a teenager. Grow a full beard then chop the unnecessary bits off and you're good to go

No deleted post. Diageo had an automerge last page but that's all. Confusion, I'd put it down to, not some nefarious bonkers strategy or anything.

Yeah I don't give a shit about that stuff. Plus it makes me realise I've made a mistake! LOL! May as well cut out the middle man; Sorry Peeps - Diageo's a HUMAN, MON, like.

Choze; I'm not a DIECORE fan of any game enough to go and join group masturbation sessions. I recognise that, ultimately, these games are just a means to an end -- that is, a way for the producers to get our fucking money. So why should I care that much? Regardless of how much of the internet is covered in your grease, the point is that on this forum there's a certain way we run things. Firstly, don't presume that everyone behaves as you do. Don't assume that everyone knows what you do. This forum is about discussion and debate, not the measuring of various penises or pointing out/overlooking whatever smeg you feel is a tarnish on the penis that you'd otherwise suck. The point is that you added nothing to this thread. Feel free to post things that back you up, and learn to be succinct. I don't understand why people ever argue the way you do - you're not going to convince anyone to change their mind with the way you argue, you're just going to make people think that you're a dick.

I don't see how it can allow cheating, can you specify? The game threads are (usually) busy enough whereby if you have more to add then waiting 'til someone else posts won't take long. The time between posts has been reduced to 12 hours currently (iirc), and with automerge-prevention posts for GMs it's fine. It's not possible to prevent automerges for specific threads, either.

You can. But us admods can see the post. So if I spot anything shady...

EDITED OMG WTF I mean yeah... I got Ellmeister's character name wrong. That's all that changed. he was Eli, not Magdeline, wtf. Vote count stuff 7 is majoriity Diageo (1): The Peeps

I think this'll be my third season straight in the mid-league? It's really hard to remember... But maybe I'll take you up on that challenge!

CRAZZYYY DAVE tactics set. My change report is going to be very lopsided. A couple on 17 (woop!), but most straddling 11-13 which isn't fantastic, and my yoofs should really be pushed for double-jumps but I've been so preoccupied with survival that I've nearly forgotten them. A couple of them are 13 and with any luck will be 16-17 after a game and some last-minute training, but a few, mainly my elders, are on 7-9, which is a bit sad, really. Therefore! I predict another mid-league mainstay for season 16. Perhaps I can just see how long I can stay in this league without being promoted or relegated?

No, we accidentally targetted the same targets twice!

Ah! Well then I apologise for bonking you on the head. Entirely accidental.

What's your role, Eenuh? Who did you target on the first night! DUN DUN DUNN! :P

The point is that if you're going to state facts in a post, you ought to do so with some back-up, rather than replying on other posters to do the search in order to continue the discussion. It may be minute, but it's effort that you can guarentee 90% of users won't bother. It's just common fucking sense to do it if you want to be taken at all seriously, otherwise you just come across as a trollshark waiting for someone to take the bait. So in essence; fuck off. True - but doing precisely the opposite is no better. It's just douchebaggery.

I'm writing up PMs now, btw.

That Damned Preacher left his soap box on legs heavy, throat dry like cinder, eyes glazed with unfamiliarity. The square-fisted man found his target as expected but was not prepared for the long night of sitting around, waiting for something to happen. The writer sat back, and waited for his computer to do its job. You've got mail, it said. "... Niiice!" At his door, the hatted sleuth stepped away from the peephole and walked away. The detective's assistant, perhaps glad to be away from his lecherous eyes, found her target, and left as soon as she noticed his complexion. That target continued on with his job for the evening, and found a large robot already there, providing exactly the same service he was about to. He lit a cigarette and hung around. Noah saw the assistant leave, and waited until he was a sufficient distance from anyone else. Ellmeister is dead. He was Eli, a liberal . Day 5 begins now. 13 players remain. Majority is 7.

Choze; when you post like that without a link or citation, it's real hard to take you seriously/believe you/not see anything but an idiot.

Certain bait that you can buy from teh lady at the milk shop will specifically pick up weapons or ammo, iirc. I had a go at fishing practically at the start of the game on the way to the hospital, pad vibrated, it looked like I caught a fish, but I couldn't tell what button I was supposed to press so I just gave up and walked away...

If there are two mafias, there's a use. But as I said, my vote is a half-hearted one.

Vote: Maddog I've been silent for a while, being away and all, but I remember strongly suspecting him as I as catching up with pages 6-12 before the last day ended. I can't precisely recall, but I think he's been eager to slam Cube on a couple of occasions. My vote isn't necessarily long-standing. A good re-read of teh thread tomorrow will probably reassert this. I just think he's jumped too early at voting cube today on little-to-no evidence.
