I'm your Oedipus.
Who's my daddy?
They say it's always good to end a paper with a quote. They say someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong.
Mistah Kurtz-he dead
A penny for the Old Guy
I
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us-if at all-not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.
II
Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
In death's dream kingdom
These do not appear:
There, the eyes are
Sunlight on a broken column
There, is a tree swinging
And voices are
In the wind's singing
More distant and more solemn
Than a fading star.
Let me be no nearer
In death's dream kingdom
Let me also wear
Such deliberate disguises
Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves
In a field
Behaving as the wind behaves
No nearer-
Not that final meeting
In the twilight kingdom
III
This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.
Is it like this
In death's other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.
IV
The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river
Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death's twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.

Here we go round the prickly pear
Prickly pear prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o'clock in the morning.
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Life is very long
Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

I knew we had something in common. :bro:
What colour do you paint the sun and the wind, Arnold? What colour?
All the colours, Sam. Do you think me a savage?
That's not the answer I was looking for. It helps narrow down who you are not, however.

Black is all the colors, man, all the damn colors.
Haha, you think you can read me like I'm not the mobius.
What goes around comes around.
Or is it the other way around.
You can dot a line, but you can't line a dot. You can't read what has no edges.
It's all the way around.
You did not respond in the desired fashion. That simply means that, instead of sticking around here, I'm going to be more productive elsewhere. We can't all stumble into some free time Arnold; some of us have trout to do, mothersmurfer.
It's been real though.
You fell into my trap, so easy, there's only one person who doesn't know the difference between singular and plural words.
Oh, you're leavin'. It's been real.
OOC: Thanks. =)
I can finally sleep lol. I guess we'll find out later if I convinced anyone.
To reach salvation, we must kill our savior. Sam, this game is no longer about scum and not scum, mafia and town, or any of that trout. It doesn't matter who I believe. The fact of the matter is, you have cheated us all - you know exactly have to you have done. The time has come for :jiro: to pay for his crimes.
Silly rabbit, trix are for kids.

There you go Uma. You are every bit the visionary I thought you were.
Oh I understand, I understood from the beginning where everything would lead, but I did my part in getting us here.
Let's also take a moment to atone and note how Sam's hubris in sin has killed himself with that vote on himself.
Sorry, just woke up. Guess I've got no time to read to catch up. Need to make the move.
##Vote: Samuel L Jackson
Well, that's a step further than what I expected.
Uh, quite a bit to catch up on from this morning. Sam and I had, uh, a discussion.
What is dead may never die.
##vote: Samuel L Jackson
But rises again harder and stronger.
##vote: Samuel Vin Roosevelt
Oh yeah
##vote: Teddy Roosevelt
He has it coming too. Oh, and
##vote: Harrison Ford
Because I was right.
I know the rest of you have everything figured out because you're geniuses and everything, but I personally wish Teddy would show up and give the wrap-up.
Come on guys! xD Day over, flavor text coming.
What is dead may never die.
##Vote: Samuel L. Jackson
:love:
Click. [Warning, Violence]
And I hope he burns in hell!Samuel L Jackson was the Psychiatrist, later Doctor, played by the lovely gentleman Jiro. Night time. You know what to do.
Just kidding, broduskis. Someone won. But whooooo?
Link no worky.
Also thread not closed.
Also: also.
Fixed, hold your wurst, Arnie.
The Governator Wins!
[M] Arnold Schwarzenegger was the Mafia Godfather played by chionos. Congratulations!
[M] Sylvester Stallone was a Mafia Usurper played by Agent Proto, who does not win, unfortunately.
[M] Uma Thurman was a Daytime Vigilante played by Goldenboko, the vig without a kill!
[M] Bruce Willis was a Game Show Host played by the ever-entertaining DK!
Mafia forum here.
All else will be revealed soon.
Oh I'm holding it, in both hands. Don't you worry. :excited:
I didn't win? :(
Congratulations team! We all deserved the victory. But particularly Arny, for masterminding the comeback. :D
I'm really surprised the boss-players didn't figure it out honestly. Psychotic, Bleys, come on guys?
I'm guessing that next mafia, playing up one's rookie status is not going to go unnoticed.
Uma almost had me for one brief moment, but let it slip away.
I really would have liked to see Del as the godfather and me the lamb. Endgame would have been wicked with him against the others. Maybe next time? :)
I would not have lasted until the end. I played terribly in the first two days but that was saved by my ludicrous roleclaim and then dominating the discussion for the following two days (therefore keeping my teammates out of the spotlight) until Psychotic had to personally come in and silence me.
What the hell. I come back on here, town loses, and Sam Jackson was lynched. To be honest, y'all deserved it. Not saying it was the worse town ever, but dayum.
And to think, it's all your fault.
:mock:
Seems you guys tried to roleblock me as I suspected and Laddy really did smurf up that one. xD
It would have been more fun if I wasn't blocked myself and was able to frame you as planned. :D
That was one of my goals for acting so crazy at the start. Get the cop to investigate me, claim, and then frame that cop to send them down the path to insanity. Willis ruined it, but it did end up getting you lynched so fair's fair.
I don't think it was entirely Willis why I got two results, slight accident on Laddy's part methinks.
Though you did get lynched right after me, so fair's fair. Thank god town is not entirely hopeless. :jess:
Yeah I had a 0% chance of surviving that day once Vin showed up. I'd given myself about a 25% chance if he didn't. I've beaten worse odds than that. :cool:
Have we ever had a game of Dethy on EoFF? I might set up a quick one if people are interested.
Oh, and go and delete all of your PMs, kids!
Seriously, delete your PM's. Gives the accounts a nice clean feeling.
Also I was planning on not killing anybody night 1 as the serial killer to mess with everyone, then going first after the mafia, then the town.
If you'd like I could give you all the account info to do it yourself qwerty :p
