Stay tuned after the break for more Mafia Chit-Chats

[FurbyFrank]

Can someone link the old thread? Furby's phone limits what he can and cannot do, like his wife! ZING!

[Quebbster]

Old thread (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6121284).

[Quebbster]

A closed chit-chat thread is counterproductive...

[eternalrage]

Wow. It was locked and didn't know what to do. Thought it was a joke.

Nah, just me checking the wrong box. Good thing I could reopen it before the computer died though.

Kanye West's Twitter feed is amazing (http://twitter.com/kanyewest).

We need to take what Michael Jackson felt and Mcqueen and Steve Jobs and we need make things better...
Although I have to wonder which McQueen he's talking about - Steve (http://www.shockya.com/news/wp-content/uploads/steve_mcqueen_photo.jpg), Alexander (http://www.fashioncollections.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/alexander-mcqueen-skull.jpg), or Lightning (http://www.erinseaboltbond.com/images/mcqueen01.jpg)...

Easy money's on Alexander.

Sometimes I wonder what it'll be like if I just straight stream of consciousness my Twitter feed. Then I stop myself.

Easy Money with Rodney Dangerfield...now that was a classy movie :cool:

For interviewing people, just try to get a feel for them as a person, and if they'll fit your company's line. Any idiot knows how to lie and answer regular interview questions (that being said, using basic questions is still good to weed out people too dumb to lie). The trick is to figure out who they are, and if they're going to suck. I've generally found the more intelligent a conversation I can have with the interviewee, the better they'll be.

But it also depends on the position. You don't want a bunch of super smart janitors. That's a Good Will Hunting waiting to happen!

It's for analysts in pharma.

:shrug:

Just hire me. Problem solved.

What are your credentials? Any experience with analytical chemistry? ;)

Stan you need to do some homework. There's questions you legally cannot at a job interview. As a general rule, you probably want to steer away from inquires about nationality, age, marriage/kids, illnesses/disabilities, pregnancy or plans to get pregnant, and religion. Some of this stuff may be common sense, but sometimes it doesn't tingle...

Ah crap. Now I'm even more nervous and we don't even have an interview lined up yet.

the rule of thumb is to only ask work related questions, and to ask for examples, dont ask how do you react under pressure, ask, tell me of a time where you were under pressure, and how did you handle it.

I hate those questions. It's depressing to think I'll be taking those cliche routes.

In all seriousness, if you're not being provided with a structured interview outline, you may as well go hog-wild, ask them random questions, and decide who to hire on a whim. The current body of research on the subject indicates that unstructured interviews aren't particularly valid.

I always said that my top question would be "Who is Peter Mayhew?" I might just have to go with that if I'm in a pinch.

Post the opening write-up!

@Stan, yeah, they are cliche, but they have been proven to work the best in predicting future outcome, cus its harder to lie whn you have to come up with an specific scenario on the spot.

Sitting in on my first interview today at 11. After that, they'll likely throw me to the wolves and give me my own "slot" for the next candidate.

Ask them if they play Scrabble or Words with Friends.

If they say yes, ask them if they play the word "Qi."

If they say yes, ask them if they known what "Qi" means.

If they can answer you correctly, hire them.

General interview questions that are a bit more fun and enlightening:

- FIRST QUESTION: What is your favorite type of sandwich? (catch them off-guard, but honestly you just want them to relax. Helps you see who is able just to bluff out an answer and who does not improvise well).

Last three:

- What is a question that you wanted me to ask?

- What is a question that you did not want me to ask?

- Is there anything about this job that you wanted to know?

Leave enough time for them to ask you 4 - 5 questions. How well they ask questions, and what types of questions gives you a lot of information.

On another note, my wire bought "Come on Eileen" (song) for the ipod as a surprise, and it came up on the playlist while we were preparing dinner. My friends and I have played that song at all our homecomings/dances, and now weddings, and we dance the jazz-box to it (just a simple jazz-box for you dance enthusiasts).

Its a four-step dance that goes R foot forward, Left foot cross over in front of the right to the left, right foot back behind the left foot, left foot back to the left of the right (a simple box). A lot of jazz dances are a variation on that format.

Well, "Come on Eileen" has a vary tempo speed, so it has a slow increase in tempo throughout the song, and then towards the end reverts to a very slow tempo that moves up to a high speed. A lot of people just jump in to the dance and then end up falling down towards the end.

Anyhow, my wife and I danced a little jazz-box to the song when it came on in our kitchen. It was fantastic.

Ok so after going into this interview thinking I was observing only to find my boss planned on leaving me there as a trial by fire, I train wrecked the process. Then I went to lunch, laughed it off and then got a call informing me that my grandmother passed away some time during the night. My uncle found her because my dad (who lives with her) has been in the hospital since Monday night and wasn't there to check on her this morning. I'm at a loss for words. She was in relatively good health at 84. It's been a rough few weeks. My wife's grandfather passed away two weeks ago today. On the up side, Katya's wound is healing well. I mean I guess I have to focus on the positive, right? I'm kind of stunned because I didn't see it coming. I didn't have a chance to prepare myself for this. I guess I'm asking that everyone lend me their strength in the coming week. I thought I was a pretty strong person, but I might need it. And sorry for being all over the place. My mind is kind of a jumble if you can't tell.

Watching How I Met Your Mother I can't help be think that as a telling your kids about how you met your mother stand point, telling all the stories about dating Robin doesn't make sense if they already know she isn't their mother. I know as a comedy stand point it does make sense but telling your kids that story...after them knowing and even saying after the first time they meet that she isn't, just doesn't make sense to me.

[sstralkowski]

The amount of greed in this world makes me sick. My grandmother ("Nanee") was gone less then 2 hours before the family began carving up their little slices and fighting over stuff. My dad's in the hospital and all they have to say to me is that I have to find someplace else for him because when he's released, he can't go back to my Nanee's house where he'd been living for the past 18 months. What ever happened to kindness and understanding. Even a touch of sympathy would go a long way. Instead I get what fels like thw weight of the world dumped on me while everyone laughs, points and just say, "Wow, you're so screwed." Sorry to be another downer. I just really needed to vent. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do.

Yeesh, and I thought my uncle behaved himself poorly at my grandmother's funeral. Your relatives take the cake for sure. My condolences. That's far more than anyone should have to deal with, especially all at once.

[sstralkowski]

Man, that's rough. Particularly for your dad.

To be honest, my dad's no saint. Full blown non-functioning alcoholic who's done a lot of bad in the later end of his life. He's paying for it with physical/mental ailments and social backlash. What sucks is that people don't distinguish between me and him. The feel it's fair to make me suffer for his sins. Especially if there's profit in it for them. I'm not saying I'm a better person than any of them, but it doesn't even seem like they're trying.

I take it your Dad needs a caretaker Stan? It's weird how selfish family can be sometimes.

See above. He's got an abdomen full of mush and seriously compromised mental capacities. We just don't have the money/time to have him declared incompetent. Sucks to be poor.

Yeesh, and I thought my uncle behaved himself poorly at my grandmother's funeral. Your relatives take the cake for sure. My condolences. That's far more than anyone should have to deal with, especially all at once.

He refused treatment at the hospital today so they're checking him out against their own better judgement at 4 today. You know, cause he can't just work with me and stay calm until the day before the funeral to give me time to figure things out. He's got no place to live except with my brother who's a recovering alcoholic. Yeah, bad idea. My extended family knows they're screwing me over but doesn't care. And that's pretty much their own words.

Anyway, I might be distant/moody/whatever for a while until I figure this out. I'll do my best to fulfill my obligations to the players of Care Bears though. You have my word on that. Thanks for being there for me guys. It feels good to just get my frustrations out of my head.

[Wade Wilson]

I always thought family was supposed to look out for each other/help each other out...

[zyxba]

To be honest, my dad's no saint. Full blown non-functioning alcoholic who's done a lot of bad in the later end of his life. He's paying for it with physical/mental ailments and social backlash. What sucks is that people don't distinguish between me and him. The feel it's fair to make me suffer for his sins. Especially if there's profit in it for them. I'm not saying I'm a better person than any of them, but it doesn't even seem like they're trying.

I was in a very similar situation with my mom. I got saddled with her care as no one else would take care of her due to years of mistreating everyone around her. Eventually I talked it through with some hospital workers and they convinced me to get her proved physically incompetent to live alone (way easier than mentally) And with that, once she was in the system it became way easier to get her the care she needed. It didn't cost anything, just time, paperwork, and a caseworker coming out and observing.

You should do a Legend of the 5 Rings game, since mine never got enough sign-ups and I'm now working on the Muppet game instead.


And for those of you that are waiting on the Muppet game, it's coming. I just got sidetracked with a lot of other stuff recently.

Trying to come up with something that will get people's interest, since Christmas Mafia seems to not be getting any (and was probably a month late for that)...

Knife Fight (Small game; Cop, deputy, Doc, nurse, Tracker, backup tracker, and three Mafia members.)

HeroClix Mafia X (some-teen/twenty-something potential HeroClix properties battle it out to see who has the best chance to become the next HeroClix set -- will it be TMNT, Mortal Kombat, Game of Thrones, or Babylon 5? Or something even more hard to believe?)

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (... the scum are Tomatoes. That's about all I've got for that so far.)

Secret Santa Mafia (Everyone is given two roles to pick from -- but they're not picking for themselves, they're picking for someone else! Do you give someone you've never played with before the Cop power? Or do you make an old friend a PGO -- only to find out at the end of the game, they were scum?)

Been watching Smallville Season 10. I've been really enjoying it.

That was a good season. The show had a few rough season in the middle, but really hit it's stride around season 7 IIRC.

Here's the text:

As you may have read in the New York Times, it’s an exciting time for Dungeons & Dragons. We are happy to announce today that we are developing the next iteration of D&D, and will be looking to the legions of D&D fans to help shape the future of the game along with us.

Our mission is to ensure that D&D enters its next 40 years as a vibrant, growing, and exciting game. By listening to the needs of the D&D community, we can meet this goal. As part of our increased efforts to engage with the player-base, we launched a series of weekly articles in early 2011, including Rule of Three and Legends & Lore, to give you a voice in our work. We’ve listened to both praise and criticism from all D&D fans, regardless of their edition of choice, and we’ll continue to do so.

That is why we are excited to share with you that starting in Spring 2012, we will be taking this process one step further and conducting ongoing open playtests with the gaming community to gather feedback on the new iteration of the game as we develop it. With your feedback and involvement, we can make D&D better than ever. We seek to build a foundation for the long-term health and growth of D&D, one rooted in the vital traits that make D&D unique and special. We want a game that rises above differences of play styles, campaign settings, and editions, one that takes the fundamental essence of D&D and brings it to the forefront of the game. In short, we want a game that is as simple or complex as you please, its action focused on combat, intrigue, and exploration as you desire. We want a game that is unmistakably D&D, but one that can easily become your D&D, the game that you want to run and play.

D&D is more than just a set of rules for fantasy gaming. It launched an entire gaming genre and played a pivotal role in creating the entirety of the gaming industry, both analog and digital. The game has lived and thrived because it has awoken a spark of creation, visions of daring adventure, wondrous vistas, and untold horrors that pull us all together as a community of RPG fans. It is the countless players and DMs who have brought it to life over the years. The game is at its best when it is yours.

For that reason, we want your participation. The goals we have set for ourselves are by no means trivial or easy. By involving you in this process, we can build a set of D&D rules that incorporate the wants and desires of D&D gamers around the world. We want to create a flexible game, rich with options for players and DMs to embrace or reject as they see fit, a game that brings D&D fans together rather than serves as one more category to splinter us apart.

We have begun obtaining feedback from a limited Friends & Family playtest consisting of internal employees and their gaming groups and soon we will be expanding that group to consist of members from our existing body of playtesters. Then at the D&D Experience convention in late January, Wizards of the Coast will conduct a special playtest of ideas currently in development. The D&D Experience will be moving to Gen Con in 2013, so as a convention special this year, we will be offering show attendees a first-look at a draft of the new set of rules. Then beginning sometime in the spring, we will begin open playtesting. Through our web site, we will release a growing set of rules, classes, monsters and other materials for your study and feedback. We seek to reach as many people as possible, from the gamer who just started with D&D last week to the gaming group that has been together since the early-1970s. For this process to work, we want to give a voice to all D&D fans and players of all previous editions of the game.

The next year is going to be an exciting one. There is a lot of work to be done, and I’m hoping you have the time, energy, and inclination to pitch in. We sure hope you do, as we seek to make gaming history by shaping the future of D&D, together.

"End of the world Mafia" sounds pretty cool, actually.

The Mafia could be people who have saved the world from being destroyed in fiction (or something like that). If the Mafia wins, the world is saved. If the town wins, the world is destroyed via the survivors combined efforts.

I had an AMAZING idea for the cast for this.

That being said, I have at least 10 people for Zyxba's Murder Mystery Game. That's good enough to at least run it.

I do promise to anyone who signs up that they'll love their role, or their money back!

Say what you will about the comparative merits of the two series, that single screen cap has virtually as much racial diversity as the entire Star Wars universe.

Hey, pal, some of my best friends are Lando.

Lando has been cloned (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bobbdobbs/4654903976/)?!? ZOMG!

[Wade Wilson]

In season 4 of how I met your mother they don't try to hide the fact that the actress playing Robin us pregnant.

[Ouchmaker]

In season 734 of the stone age Nakla hid from others the fact that he was trying to make the world's first hula hoop when he discovered the wheel. His brother Steve was the only one who knew.

[Wade Wilson]

Ouchmaker and his weird foreign humor.. .

[K-ness]

Your Favorite Clix II needs 3 more players to hit 20. I can take more or less than that, but 20 is such a nice number!

[charlesx]

Ouchmaker and his weird foreign humor.. .

That wasn't foreign humor.

That was Ouch quoting a caption from one of Gary Larson's Far Side cartoons, roughly translated from the original Klingon language.

:cheeky:

No, that was actually a #####y comment making fun of.... ah yes, it was totally a Far Side reference. :cheeky:

I broke down yesterday, and bought my last booster of Hulk. Got Hulklops.

[K-ness]

When does that game start?


In two weeks.

I just wrote the first role. Yes, it's going to be typical K-Ness style roles, so expect some out there powers and abilities. :cool:

[malakim2099]

It's been about two and a half years, but I think I have a new game that people might have some interest in. Or a sequel, rather. :cheeky:

(And yes, it is NOT Good Omens, but I still think it's probably the second-most requested idea...)

[Thawmus]

Heard they were combining both...

That's a possibility, but, and I mean this in the nicest way possible:

Anything you hear before this Spring is pretty much bull####.

I'm personally hoping for something that brings spellcasting and dumb martial back to the table, while bringing interesting martial along for the ride.

Oh, and let's balance the spellcasting with class abilities this time, okay?

No Hall of fame then? :(

[sstralkowski]

I attended the Infinity Gauntlet Tourney last night. I attend very few tourneys in general. Mainyl because playing at home with my friends is more fun. I went 0-5 and only actually scored points in 2 of the 5 games. I ran a 300pt team of Hulk Robots. Needless to say I sucked hard.

[malakim2099]

No Hall of fame then? :(

Maybe revisit it... I only got 10 signups. :(

However, after OOTS 4, Good Omens is going up.

Well, I'd give you some brownie points for running 2 HulkBots. Eesh. :)

Did you make fun of the people who you scored points on?

I would.

[Truffle Shuffle]

That's me!

Grrrrrrrr....

[Truffle Shuffle]

I broke down yesterday...

Don't worry Ouch, we'll evenutally forgive you.

[malakim2099]

Don't worry Ouch, we'll evenutally forgive you.

AHEM! AHEM!!!

*points at sig*

[Truffle Shuffle]

Did someone say something?

[sstralkowski]

Well, I'd give you some brownie points for running 2 HulkBots. Eesh. :)

Is that a bad team or something? A few people were nervous for some reason.

Did you make fun of the people who you scored points on?

I would.

Nah, If I was at home with friends, I wuold do that all night long, but I wasn't sure how people would take it. Plus, I didn't have time to go home and change so I showed up in way overdressed work clothes with no dice or tokens or anything. I needed to be nice so people would lend me theirs.

[K-ness]

I have written three roles for Clix II now.

I... I love this game already.

Guys, seriously, if you want something that's not so normal, go sign up. It is NOT the standard "I'm a tracker" game. ;)

[Ouchmaker]

Don't worry Ouch, we'll evenutally forgive you.

I'm blessed. I've heard that people who assault Walter Koenig will never be forgiven.

[Truffle Shuffle]

I'm blessed. I've heard that people who assault Walter Koenig will never be forgiven.

Pshaw. That's just rumor. He and I are great friends. We laugh about it all the time.

[Ouchmaker]

He can laugh after what you did to his MOUTH!!?

[Thawmus]

I don't know much about the clix scene these days, but it looks to me like they lack the ability to engage mobile opponents. One of them with a couple of other figures who can handle a spread map would have maybe been better.

This is reminding me of the Range vs. Melee stuff I hated about Heroclix, so I better stop now.

[Thawmus]

That's not what he tells me.

Well, it basically is like Keonig (Stan) going against Truffles (everyone else).

Not a good idea. :cheeky:

[Truffle Shuffle]

You're all just jealous!!


:noid:


What?

[Thawmus]

You're all just jealous!!


:noid:


What?

Jealous? Please.

You're the only person I know who takes restraining orders as a sign of friendship.

[Truffle Shuffle]

But ... isn't that what it means? We're being ordered to laugh, joke, punch and drink without restraint ... right?

[Ouchmaker]

Jealous? Please.

You're the only person I know who takes restraining orders as a sign of friendship.

Exactly, but to be fair, it's only because Carlos doesn't consider friendship as a viable and legitimate status when it comes to women.

[Thawmus]

But ... isn't that what it means? We're being ordered to laugh, joke, punch and drink without restraint ... right?

......no.

I....I don't know how to tell you this, Truffles.

You're being ordered to laugh, joke, punch, and drink while he's in restraints.

Go easy on him, okay?

[Thawmus]

Exactly, but to be fair, it's only because Carlos doesn't consider friendship as a viable and legitimate status when it comes to women.

Did you not learn the 3 states of Woman?

Sexual Object
Pig
Miracle Worker


Jeez, I can't believe I have to teach you this ####.

I got clobbered in tonight's tournament too...

I figured the power cosmic would help me stay in the game in terms of move and attack. Plus they have charge. Eh, oh well. Still got my Infinity Gauntlet. Now the problem is that I just found out the Gems have to lock into place on it. I don't plan on playing any more of the tournaments. Guess I'll have to trade for them. If anyone is planning on snagging a spare set, hit me up. We'll work something out.

[Wade Wilson]

There's an inappropriate joke here somewhere, just can't put my finger on it...

Yea, you should have seen what I pulled last sealed I was in -_-;. The judge wanted to play everything you pulled in your booster, and I got half the points of the second lowest pulled two boosters. I barely had 600 points worth of figures.

[Truffle Shuffle]

Good boy. Now there's an excellent example of restraint.

You don't date a coworker right? I mean, don't #### where you eat?

I would be laughing at this imagining it with circus music playing in the background, if I weren't in so much pain right now.

My kitty jumped up on the ironing board, tipped the iron so it was leaning against him, of course I freak out (it probably didn't even hurt him because his coat is so thick and it was just a second) grab for the iron while he's reacting to my freaking by jumping off the ironing board onto a chair tipping the ironing board, missed the iron so it starts falling off the ironing board, I go to grab for it again (reflex) only hit the wrong side and burn my hand causing me to let go fo the iron whereby it falls on my foot giving it a good gouge, which causes me to jump backwards, falling onto my bed, arms flailing a bit so that my hand knocks my water off my shelf and all over my pillows.

Yeah.

Okay, I'm pretty sure I've seen this DVD before. After all of this a fireman walks in, takes all his clothes off, and says something snappy like, "Keep the iron hot, baby."

I think that was the name of it, too. "Keep the Iron Hot"

Didn't like the bits where he used the cat, though. Felt that was a bit much. :ermm:

You type amazingly well for a one-handed woman.
