There was some awesome Japanese jazz on in the record shop today and I can't remember who it was by.

[Ottofar]

just had an actual conversation on omegle that didn't go "hi, asl, bye"

here's the log:

Talk to strangers!
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
Official messages from Omegle will not be sent with the label 'Stranger:'. Strangers claiming to represent Omegle are lying.
Stranger: hey
You: hey
Stranger: how are you?
You: bored.
Stranger: aw, what do you usualy do when bored
You: just to get this out of the way, I'm 23980 years old, am a sentient fungus, and am on the planet gleis 231 b
You: Apparently, I chat with random strangers rather than do stuff that needs doing
You: what about you?
Stranger: oh
Stranger: I'm a wizard
You: cool
Stranger: yeah
Stranger: i use magic to rape people
You: ew
Stranger: its not that bad
You: you keep doing that
Stranger: i once raped a mushroom, you dont mind that right?
You: oh, it's okay
You: it probably wasn't a relative
Stranger: i also once raped a minor
Stranger: that got me into trouble
Stranger: ;<
You: why, did he attack you with a pickaxe?
You: miners tend to carry those
Stranger: a minor
Stranger: not a miner
Stranger: as in someone underaged
You: was the minor male or female?
You: or could you not tell under all the coal dust?
Stranger: i dunno, which one of them has sex with animals?
You: I think they both do.
Stranger: oh
Stranger: which one of them has black skin?
You: also, have you ever tried farming mermaids?
Stranger: nah
Stranger: i hate mermaids
You: you can sell their bones
Stranger: i had a little.. incident.. with one in my past life
You: they fetch a good price
Stranger: so they kinda hate mme now
Stranger: if you want my advice, dont ever impregnate a mermaid
You: if they hate you now, imagine how they'll feel after you become rithc from selling mermaid bones
You: do they even have a vagina?
You: do I even want to know?
Stranger: supresingly
You: also, I'm pretty sure they lay egs
Stranger: their top part is fish
Stranger: bottom is human
You: oh
Stranger: Yeah suprised me too
You: that would make swiming difficult
You: unless they have long webbed feet
You: hm...
Stranger: dont ask me bro, ask god
Stranger: haha
Stranger: just kiddiing
Stranger: i killed him
You: I wonder if they can be crossbred with unicorns
You: wait, I think that's happened
You: narwhales

You: just the barest minimum of similarities
You: hastilly drawn in 3 dimensions
Stranger: dude
Stranger: believe me
Stranger: its a chick

Stranger: and god also told me that she doesnt understand shit about dimensions
Stranger: shee also doesnt know what the fuck she should do
Stranger: she was born one day

Stranger: and that she should poop out a baby jesus
You: just smile and wave, smile and wave
Stranger: smiile and waave...
You: just have to charismatic, and nobody notices you don't do shit
Stranger: yar
Your conversational partner has disconnected.

I sense a certain imageboard.

I'm just hours away from surprising my wife with a birthday dinner with a bunch of our friends. This is the culmination of weeks of planning and clever deception, wherein I made her think that I was trying to surprise her but accidentally let her know about it, and that I did such a halfassed job of it that nobody had enough advance notice to come and so it all fizzled out and I suck.

When in reality, I've had the reservation for weeks and there's like a dozen people waiting to jump out of the woodwork when we get there.


One year for Christmas, I got her a digital camera. But I made her think that I had gotten a mixer that she had commented on liking. So then she felt bad because she wanted the camera, but then felt bad about feeling bad because I *had* listened to her and gotten something she wanted. I even went to the trouble of repurposing an old PC case so that the package would be sufficiently heavy and bulky, with a large box containing a medium box containing a small box holding said camera inside. The progression of looks as she opened it were priceless. It was like ten different shades of "WTF?"


Marriage: You still play mind games with each other, but it's more fun.

lol

[Ottofar]

I have a sig. From forums. Which are these.

[Rose]

wow, I actually met somebody on omegle that I made friends with.

this is so weird.

[Vector]

I had a dream last night about my favorite high school teacher suddenly being Asian and holding a dance party in the (multi-story) chem lab.

Gee willikers.


I'm also playing a game of Mafia over at the xkcd forums, and they thought I was a veteran from Mafiascum ~  It makes me really happy to know that in this short time, I've gone from someone who really can't understand the game at all to someone who is pretty darned good at it :3

stupid, utterly retarded, source of many a "lolwut?"

I might be interested in knowing this secret.  It's occurred to me lately that over a year ago I was bitching about how I knew nothing about Mafia and was a little tired of hearing about it.  At least I got Josh to write a genuine tutorial intro, but I've still never played a game.  I just looked at the Mafia subgroup, and there's like four threads with "Beginner" in the title, but looking at their OPs, they're all riddled with jargon and insider info and themes and stuff.

There's a difference between "Beginner" and "never played before".  Anyone have a recommendation for getting into a mafia game, for someone who literally has no idea how to play and gets frustrated learning?  I'm here all the time anyway, I might as well see what all the fuss has been about for the last year and a half.

I have no idea what I should be happy about today.  I woke up at 1AM with a hangover so bad I couldn't sleep, but I got to feel it go away over the course of like two hours.  That was kind of cool.

I would join

Oh, come on. I started with a bastard mod (a game with modified rules, which the players don't know).

Just get in a beginner's mafia, there are two mafia, and not really that  many roles.

Also, flavor?

Sorry if this post  made no sense, I'm quite sleepy right now.

[JoshuaFH]

Don't worry if the game initially SEEMS alien Aqizzar. What it all boils down to is talking, then voting, and then if you're mafia or a special class, you can use your kill/action the following night.

I'll be happy to host a game in a fashion similar to Beginner Mafia, since I already know all the rules and can make something really simple. That way you can join and learn if you really want Aqizzar.

[Vector]

To be honest, I just went in there, flailed around a bit, and came out wiser for it.  I'd never had any exposure to mafia whatsoever, so I just hung in the background for a while, asked questions about what was going on, and in the end managed to struggle my way through.  If you want to read through that game to see what it looks like, it's here.

That said, we're currently making an archive of particularly spectacular games to read through, so that you can see the way things are supposed to look when they're going well.  There's a somewhat steep learning curve, but... it's kind of the way one learns.  If someone uses a term you don't recognize, ask about it.  If you get confused by someone's reasoning, ask about that, too.  Fundamentally, it's about logic and learning how to read between the lines.

Anyway, next time we run a beginner's game, I'll be sure to let you guys know.  I'll also try to get the folks down there to edit their OPs for legibility    Thanks for the input!

Sprite spriting.

[Leafsnail]

My first game was a crazy go nuts variant.  And I subbed in on the last day.  Fortunately, the final mafia member had been made obvious by the previous day's events, so...
