GulagDolls is scum, and should be voted out immediately. I can tell by the attitude and disingenuous reaction upon receiving their role. Furthermore, the other 3 players with no experience in the game had an even worse reaction than the previous players. I don't want to go into a discussion on this game, but I want to clarify and clear all that up.

On a side note, please read my personal feelings on this game, because I have had many experiences with the topic of this board, and my understanding was that Gulag Dolls was always the worst. However, after one day I found out the story was a lie. They were always the worst. I mean, there was no way you could get the level to be as bad as this one, right? And it actually didn't look like that at all. The game had always been one on a scale of zero-one to one-ten, and my experience with the game was that the level was not there when I was playing when we played with a high level. The thing was, I was playing with a few high tier people. And then I had a really good time with the people below the average level, because they started to feel good about themselves. So there you have it. Two players from the lower tier who play against other upper tier players.

There are some parts of this that are so vague that I have no idea what they are referring to. Maybe the player will ask me to explain what is happening later. Well, it will just take me a few mins to get back to you guys. I'll see you later!

Lumpen is always wrong about early mafia calls such as this one from the beginning. There will almost always be calls from the start of a mafia attack � even if there is no specific reason to shoot out the cops. "Why shoot them from the start?" you say (the answer is usually "because you don't have other options, and because they don't know what to do with him"). The other common reason is simply to keep the enemy at bay � after the initial attack, you should have no further worries about dealing damage with the other enemy and should expect to keep shooting for quite some time. Also, if the initial enemy is the same as the next one, they will try to shoot out their buddies as well. The reason for not killing the first enemy is that he can't make much noise, so it is very important not to kill him before he can become quite a nuisance.

And finally, sometimes it does not help to kill first. Most of the time people actually shoot and kill the first guy in a line, which, when done the right way, does NOT make sense. Many people shoot first when the guy is near the enemy and has to move to avoid being caught by bullets � that can be deadly when someone's gun goes off and you must duck for your life. Some people shoot at the first guy to make it look like it is him!

some things never change

Quidthulhu said that some things never change. That's easy for him to say. But is it actually suspicious? Psychologically, this utterance suggests that Quidthulhu, by and large, still thinks for his own benefit. He thinks that for every person he knows who comes on Quidthulhu's side, there might actually be someone else who is opposed; someone to whom he has, for all intents and purposes, made himself an enemy. For that person, Quidthulhu tells him, the universe could always be fixed and he could just keep repeating it to himself. It would be easier than fixing itself when it was at its most fragile in the first place. And Quidthulhu is the ultimate master manipulator. No matter how much he seeks to change things.

The universe isn't, for uthulhu, that black thing in the distance. In fact, if he could, he'd like to see Quidthulhu's mind shrink to such a point of insignificance that no one can blame him for feeling sad. The universe would be so big, and so unimportant, the only thing that matters would be what people say about itself. The universe, and, to an even larger degree, the way the rest of it works as well, has no value at all. He doesn't think the universe needs or cares about him.

Well, duh. If you're already in the server you don't need to join the server. Because you're already in the server.

Why do we think E+ is unable to discern natural speech from mafia discourse? Perhaps it is because of the awkward and robotic nature of mafia gameplay, but the nature of human speech seems very much like that of some other animal: I could never understand the language of an eagle, let alone the speech of a human. I couldn't help but see it as "inappropriate for humans" - and yet I had heard, through my reading of films like The Devil Wears Prada, and from my own reading, that human language is much more like that of birds, animals, and fungi. We might be able to distinguish natural from the Mafia-made, natural language by a difference that isn't necessarily significant. But, then again, I find it hard to believe the Mafia is capable of something similar to language processing... And I do have some serious problems with my mind at this moment. I'm thinking of my wife, her friends, and her daughter. As I get ready to tell her what happened last night we'll ask friends on our Facebook and Twitter to tell us how she feels too. Maybe it's because she's not a fan of the film, but she definitely feels that what transpired was wrong; she can't believe they were caught. Maybe it was an act, just a coincidence, so they should have been caught. I don't know, but I really want to ask her to!
