==Introduction==
|user#=9177
I am Jeffrey Hope, your resident [[Village Idiot|village idiot]] (unfortunate as that is). I was born on December 26, 1989 in Virginia Beach, VA, but I grew up in El Paso, TX and moved to Chaparral, NM a short distance away in early 2009. Sometimes I think I want to get out of here—I'm so bored of this place! In fact, anytime I'm more than 50 miles away, I'm happy.

===Introduction===
I mod a lot of games—both Mafia and Mish Mash. Examples of both include Card Sharks, Go Play in Traffic!, Monopoly (three such games, actually—the U.S. and U.K. versions and a Mafia game based on the former), and the StrangerCoug's Worst Nightmare series.
I am Jeffrey Hope, your resident [[Village Idiot|village idiot]] (unfortunate as that is). I was born on December 26, 1989 in Virginia Beach, VA, but I grew up in El Paso, TX and still live there. Sometimes I think I want to get out of here—I'm so bored of this place! In fact, anytime I'm more than 50 miles away, I'm happy.


Believe it or not, I'm running both the {{plainlink|t|9127|U.S. version}} and the {{plainlink|t|9303|U.K. version}} of Monopoly in the Mish Mash forum. I did the U.S. version first simply because I'm American. I like how different places in the world do things differently, however, so I started the British version three weeks later.
On top of all that, I also once helped {{U|MeMe}} keep both mini queues up to date. While this was once an on-and-off "Hey, this is messed up" kind of thing, I officially became responsible for updating it on January 13, 2009. (MeMe still filled up games, nagged at mods who fell off the face of the site, etc. before being replaced by {{U|Papa Zito}} and {{U|hasdgfas}}.) In 2010, I became list mod of the [[Large Normal|Large Normals]], left that position the next year feeling that I was being negligent in my duties. I took it back the year after that and left it again in 2013 due to time constraints created by college. I was the last Large Normal list mod to be a separate person from the Mini Normal list mod. I've also had a stint as Mish Mash Janitor from 2014 to 2015, leaving due to stress in school.


I'm also modding Shut the Box (currently in its {{plainlink|t|9874|second incarnation}}) and {{plainlink|t|9926|Casino Blackjack}} in Mish Mash. Yeah, I should put these games in the list of modded games way down below. Whatever.
My scumday is May 6, 2008, but due to time zone differences the "{{color|red|is having a scumday!}}" marker doesn't show up until May 7. (Interesting factoid: A similar situation applies to my birthday. I was born at approximately 00:30 EST, which converts to 22:30 MST the previous day.)


===Origin of the name===
[[StrangerCoug%27s_Guide_to_Mish_Mash_Modding|I have a guide to running Mish Mash games]].
 
==Origin of the name==
As I said, I first played Mafia on Rooster Teeth. The first time I signed up as StrangerCoug was on there. As seems to be commonplace on that site, most usernames have something to do with one of the machinima series, especially [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_vs._Blue ''Red vs. Blue'']. Only the former was true in my case: my addiction was to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Strangerhood ''The Strangerhood''] since, when I started watching the videos and visiting the site, I didn't have a computer that would work with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims_2 ''The Sims 2'']. When I finally decided to join their forums, I implemented the fact that I liked those videos in my user name by making it a portmanteau of that and my high school mascot, which happened to be the cougar. I tried to make my name StrangerCougar, but the site only allowed names to be a 12-letter maximum. I left it as what could fit, and on December 30, 2005, the name as we know it was born.

MafiaScum.net was the last site on which I signed up as StrangerCoug when I still had a cougar to call a mascot; however, since August 2007 it has also been my fursona. (Yes, I'm a furry. Get over it.)

===Playing History===
==Playing History==
I first played Mafia as a forum game on a site called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooster_Teeth_Productions Rooster Teeth]. I've made myself quite an established presence there, playing every round except for the first and the seventh, being the game moderator in the latter. When I came over to MafiaScum (via my browsing around on Wikipedia) and signed up on May 6, 2008, one of the biggest things I noticed different is that, on MafiaScum, all votes are viewable to the public and can be changed by the person making them. On Rooster Teeth you had to send a PM to the game moderator, and once he recorded it you were not allowed to change it (as far as I knew, anyway). I have now adapted to both, and I actually think the game on here is more fun. The Rooster Teeth Mafia thread is seeing some changes to bring it a bit closer to what it's like here on MafiaScum, however (days and nights were numbered ''à la'' this site in rounds 7 and 8, though they've reverted to being unnumbered).

==Hey, what happened to the Statistics section?==
It hadn't been updated since 2010, and it was really updated only sporadically for awhile before. Most of my games as a player were from the late 2000s to the early 2010s, though I have never claimed to be retired from playing. In general, on the Mafia side, you should be looking for me in the theme queues. I usually mod these days, but I will play an interesting enough theme game.
 
==Quotes==
This is where you and I get to post quotes by, about, or to me on MafiaScum that we find interesting. Feel free to add on as desired.
 
These should be in chronological order, by the way.
 
===One-liners===
 
* Stop adding an H at the end of my name! What are you, allergic to cats or something? ''—{{U|StrangerCoug}} to {{U|sirdanilot}}, {{plainlink|t|8430|Mini 601: Cog City: Trouble Below}}, {{plainlink|p|1124308|post #512}}''


===Playing Style===
* SC's town, Fark[shinsoup]'s town, what universe are we in? ''—{{U|Crazy}}, {{plainlink|t|8386|Newbie 614}}, {{plainlink|p|1130195|post #335}}''
* I'm generally an aggressive player.
* I avoid meta if I can and use it only to determine how a player plays in general. I am against using meta to determine alignment.
* I only reread if I absolutely have to—I like playing as I go better.
* I don't like repeating myself as I feel that I can get myself into a loop if I'm not careful.
* I generally let discussions about what I otherwise want to talk about run their course. I try to only butt in if I have something new to add, even if it's minor.
* I have been known to object to things I don't understand.
* I've also been known to take things too literally on occasion.
* The calmer I am, the better I think I play.
* Last but not least, even though I'm not new, I'm still learning. A recent example is that people will outright call people scum if they're confident of such without saying "I think", "probably", etc. and they aren't necessarily cop, scum, or tunnel-visioned town.


==Avatar History==
* I played Day 1 and I think part of Day 2 thinking I was town and didn't realize I was scum until Green Cow PM'd me. I tried to be very conservative with my posts since it would be obvious that I was scum if I did, but apparently that didn't work. We didn't even get a chance to kill anybody. ...Wait a minute—I've got an idea! *shoots xyzzy* ''—{{U|StrangerCoug}}, {{plainlink|t|8714|Mini 620: Psychopathic Xyzzy Mod}}, {{plainlink|p|1157406|post #161}}''

|[[Image:StrangerCoug_MafiaScum.JPG]]||2008-05-06 to 2008-08-14||This is my first MafiaScum avatar. It is a crop of a fursona I drew myself (yes, I'm a furry—get over it) called "Peaceful Falls", sometimes called Fursona 5 since it's the fifth one that's been made for me. It's only the second one for myself that I drew, though.
* Who the hell cares about social experiments? I refuse to copy and paste signature text just to follow a trend. ''—{{U|StrangerCoug}}, as part of his signature from 2008-08-02 to 2008-08-07''
|-
 
|[[Image:StrangerCoug_MafiaScum2.JPG]]||2008-08-14 to 2008-10-24||My second MafiaScum.net avatar, which took awhile to make the way I wanted it. I think I did a good job with what I could, though. I made this because I didn't want to use a cartoony avatar on MS anymore. The actual avatar is actually a PNG, not a JPG, but I had trouble uploading the PNG version on MafiaWiki.
* The players of the US version [of Monopoly] can do what the hell they like. Here in the UK, when we play a game, we play it. ''—{{U|Battle Mage}}, {{plainlink|t|9303|Monopoly: London version}}, {{plainlink|p|1242738|post #68}}''

As with the avatar before it, the actual image used on the MafiaScum.net forum is a PNG, not a JPG.
* If I am not the serial killer, then curiouskarmadog didn't just play his cards wrong; he set them on fire. —''{{U|StrangerCoug}}, {{plainlink|t|9032|Mini 644: Meerkat Manor Mafia}}, {{plainlink|p|1290867|post #637}}, referring to [[curiouskarmadog]]'s fate being sealed with his claim''

|[[Image:StrangerCoug_Christmas.JPG]]||2008-12-06 to the present||My Christmas avatar for 2008. Note that I normally do not draw my fursona with a bow on his tail—this is specific to this avatar. I also normally put a watch on his right wrist, but I had a hard time drawing it right, so I just took it out.


Once again, the version seen on the forums is a PNG instead of a JPEG.  
* Acting scummy on purpose does not necessarily make a player a jester—it could also be legitimate scum trying to get bussed as a gambit of some sort. I don't see either, but #162 is heavily noted. As in on 10,000 pieces of paper. —''{{U|StrangerCoug}}, {{plainlink|t|10205|Mafia 90: Lolwat? Mafia}}, {{plainlink|p|1446442|post #172}}. Post #162 is {{plainlink|p|1445890|this}}.''

==Mafia games outside MafiaScum.net==
* Higher than a three... You're up the middle with an eight.  ''(in smaller text)'' That sounds a tad bit wrong... —''{{U|StrangerCoug}}, {{plainlink|t|10114|Card Sharks: Play Your Cards Right}}, {{plainlink|p|1622485|post #636}}''
I do play Mafia on sites other than MafiaScum. Those recorded below:


===Rooster Teeth===
* [E]ach time I see the mods in this topic I have to fight the urge to make an alt with a name like "StrangestCoug". Stranger than ''YOU''! —''{{U|Vi}}, {{plainlink|t|10946|Mafia 91: Hell Aboard the ''Purple Flower''}}, {{plainlink|p|1663043|post #1908}}''
This is the site I played Mafia on before I came here (and I still play on RT). It took awhile to adapt to the site because of several major differences between the game there and here, most notably:


* The game pace is much faster on Rooster Teeth. From the start of the game day to the next one is usually three or four days (formerly one week).
* I'm surprised a rotten tomato fight hasn't started yet, given how ashamed some of you and I are of each other. —''{{U|StrangerCoug}}, {{plainlink|t|10946|Mafia 91: Hell Aboard the ''Purple Flower''}}, {{plainlink|p|1744466|post #3195}}, referring to my regrettable mod actions and several people talking outside the thread that I didn't hear about until the game was over''
* Voting is private and the mod does not give vote counts, but he or she does sometimes give hints about the latter. Unvotes are now allowed as of RT 8, though.
* Not only the lynch but the hit is voted on. For obvious reasons, only the Mafia gets to vote on the hit.
* The first two rounds were night starts, but every round since RT 3 has been a day start.
* Vanilla townies are known as Civilians.
* There is always a sane Day Cop (simply called the Cop) and a Bodyguard (in MafiaScum terms, actually the doctor). In most games, both are known (exception being who the Bodyguard was being kept a secret in RT 9 and 10), however, other power roles have been experimented with.
* Replacement players do not exist. In RT 9, inactive players, defined as someone who did not send in a Mafia hit or vote for two lynch cycles, were marked as "in a coma" and treated as not playing until they did send in a vote
* The setup used to be fixed at 10 Civilians, 10 Mafia, the Cop, and the Bodyguard. This is no longer true as of RT 3 for obvious reasons.
* It is possible for players to get hints from other player's posts in thread; however, the majority of the hints come from the storyline, which in turn often involve the profiles of those playing. '''The''' most helpful hints are the cop investigations given the information in the fourth bullet above.
* Speaking of the story lines, they are often longer and much more detailed than those found on MafiaScum.


==Statistics==
* SC, you have to lead to this trick as we- PUT THAT GUN DOWN! —''{{U|yabbaguy}}, {{plainlink|t|12941|Hearts}}, {{plainlink|p|2421140|post #344}} after "shooting" myself out of confusion for the second time''
Please note the following:
* All dates are written in year-month-day format and given in Mountain Time. Mountain Standard Time is GMT–07:00; Mountain Daylight Time is GMT–06:00.
* I no longer count abandoned games as draws, nor do I any longer assume my role would have been neutral if I never got it.


===MafiaScum.net===
* OK, did RedCoyote's cards barf in my inbox!? —''{{U|StrangerCoug}}, {{plainlink|t|24035|I Doubt It}}, {{plainlink|p|4542591|post #215}}, after revealing what RedCoyote claimed was two jacks but clearly weren't''
Of the '''12''' games listed still in progress, I am still alive in '''8'''. '''2''' games I've been in have been abandoned.


====Wins/Losses====

I took a gamble on [[raider8169]] being scum, which I thought was going to pay off seeing as a quicklynch wasn't happening, but scum was slow to coordinate a quicklynch, and according to them in the post-game discussion, I was online the one time they otherwise could.

|colspan="8" |'''Comments:''' I didn't make myself look too suspicious in the early game; however, I mistook [[Battousai]]'s cop claim as a counterclaim against me since he voted me right after I faked tracker. After I realized it, I thought I was "royally screwed over" and voted myself. Thinking that I was stalling the game after doing so, I unvoted and went after who I thought was playing particuarly scummy. On Night 4, I thought Battousai would investigate me (he did), and I tried to divert suspicion from by leaving him alive and hoping he was naïve (he was). Even though I tried to cast suspicion on Battousai in doing so, my primary targets were still [[Wumbo]] and [[Cass]]. Part of what got me lynched was that three cops, a tracker, a forensic investigator, and four vanilla townies versus two Mafia goons and a Mafia roleblocker (I lied about being roleblocked and a massclaim blew up my "roleblocker is town" theory) made no sense. Not too bad, but I think I could have done better.

Neither attempted kill that night went through—the vigilante tried to kill me for what I think was my OMGUSy attitude early Day 1 but got roleblocked, and the doctor protected the Mafia target, which ironically was the traitor. That same I was lynched Day 3 mainly for my radical change of play since Day 1 (from panicky to relatively calm) and that I was the most likely to be the roleblocker. Another flawless victory by scum.

|colspan="8" |'''Comments:''' This was unusual to say the least. Everybody had the post restriction that the 100th post by a player would modkill them, so we took to posting once or twice a day and covering as much as possible in out posts. I misunderstood my role and thought I was town until my scumbuddy PM'd me otherwise (we were allowed to talk during the day). Given my frequent posting on this site even then, the mod was surprised that I didn't spam the thread so I could submit a nightkill.

|colspan="8" |'''Comments:''' One of the most confusing games I've ever played. The mod created a secret account for [[ashmite84]] and me called Dialects, which for the purposes of the game was neutral. I thought Dialects was scum aligned, so there were times that I was voting him, and I made some scummy comments on the Dialects account on purpose. I also wasn't clearly sure what I was and was not allowed to do with the Dialects account. I was not told who was scum with me, nor were the other two scum told I was on their side; therefore, I tried to nightkill ashmite84 specifically for breaking the game when I didn't know I did not have a kill, so my death took '''everybody''' by surprise.

|colspan="8" |'''Comments:''' Were it not for [[curiouskarmadog]]'s fakeclaim (among other things), we would probably have lost. curiouskarmadog, who I had been going after for a good bit of Day 3, fakeclaimed serial killer cop with a guilty on me Day 4. My only weapons against him were a specific scummy action of his and my idea of the setup at the time, which turned out to be dead on. Even though I knew it didn't matter in which order curiouskarmadog and I were lynched, I felt it against the spirit of the game to just give up and die solely to prove him wrong. I was lynched first, but in hindsight I don't think I was lynched in vain—it exposed curiouskarmadog's lie, and he self-hammered Day 5 to give us the win.

[[Voodo]], my scumbuddy, correctly guessed that [[DizzyIzzyB13]] was the last Mafia, and she in turn killed [[Greasy Spot]], giving us the win.

|-
|colspan="8" |'''Comments:''' It was luck more than skill that drove the later part of this game—to quote my scumbuddy, [[popsofctown]], "the town actually failed into success". Basically, I faked seer and claimed that popsofctown was guilty—which of course I knew he was, but the problem is that seers are supposed to get guilty results on werewolves, not Mafia. The real seer, [[Kublai Khan]], did not counterclaim me until after the vote to lynch popsofctown was cast, and his flip confirmed me as scum.


popsofctown was upset at the loss and accused me of being a quitter given my Day 3 actions after the game ended. My explanation is that I could only win Day 3 if the town wasn't paying attention, which, even in hindsight, I feel is a cheap way to go about it.

|colspan="8" |'''Comments:''' I had a grudge on the mod for awhile that continued into Round 11 and even made it on this page. I didn't think the game was fair, and the mod said I never voted, which is untrue. On the not-so-mean-to-him side, this is the first round that I didn't run as moderator for since the original mod, Waldo69, said he wanted to play instead. This is also the second round where the cop revealed a Mafioso yet a mislynch still occured for the day.

Latest revision as of 14:09, 6 August 2023

Introduction

I am Jeffrey Hope, your resident village idiot (unfortunate as that is). I was born on December 26, 1989 in Virginia Beach, VA, but I grew up in El Paso, TX and moved to Chaparral, NM a short distance away in early 2009. Sometimes I think I want to get out of here—I'm so bored of this place! In fact, anytime I'm more than 50 miles away, I'm happy.

I mod a lot of games—both Mafia and Mish Mash. Examples of both include Card Sharks, Go Play in Traffic!, Monopoly (three such games, actually—the U.S. and U.K. versions and a Mafia game based on the former), and the StrangerCoug's Worst Nightmare series.

On top of all that, I also once helped MeMe keep both mini queues up to date. While this was once an on-and-off "Hey, this is messed up" kind of thing, I officially became responsible for updating it on January 13, 2009. (MeMe still filled up games, nagged at mods who fell off the face of the site, etc. before being replaced by Papa Zito and hasdgfas.) In 2010, I became list mod of the Large Normals, left that position the next year feeling that I was being negligent in my duties. I took it back the year after that and left it again in 2013 due to time constraints created by college. I was the last Large Normal list mod to be a separate person from the Mini Normal list mod. I've also had a stint as Mish Mash Janitor from 2014 to 2015, leaving due to stress in school.

My scumday is May 6, 2008, but due to time zone differences the "is having a scumday!" marker doesn't show up until May 7. (Interesting factoid: A similar situation applies to my birthday. I was born at approximately 00:30 EST, which converts to 22:30 MST the previous day.)

I have a guide to running Mish Mash games.

Origin of the name

As I said, I first played Mafia on Rooster Teeth. The first time I signed up as StrangerCoug was on there. As seems to be commonplace on that site, most usernames have something to do with one of the machinima series, especially Red vs. Blue. Only the former was true in my case: my addiction was to The Strangerhood since, when I started watching the videos and visiting the site, I didn't have a computer that would work with The Sims 2. When I finally decided to join their forums, I implemented the fact that I liked those videos in my user name by making it a portmanteau of that and my high school mascot, which happened to be the cougar. I tried to make my name StrangerCougar, but the site only allowed names to be a 12-letter maximum. I left it as what could fit, and on December 30, 2005, the name as we know it was born.

You will sometimes see "the StrangerCoug", especially when I'm referring to myself in the third person, but the word "the" is not officially part of my user name and is therefore lowercase unless it starts a sentence. Addressing me as "The StrangerCoug" is incorrect.

MafiaScum.net was the last site on which I signed up as StrangerCoug when I still had a cougar to call a mascot; however, since August 2007 it has also been my fursona. (Yes, I'm a furry. Get over it.)

Playing History

I first played Mafia as a forum game on a site called Rooster Teeth. I've made myself quite an established presence there, playing every round except for the first and the seventh, being the game moderator in the latter. When I came over to MafiaScum (via my browsing around on Wikipedia) and signed up on May 6, 2008, one of the biggest things I noticed different is that, on MafiaScum, all votes are viewable to the public and can be changed by the person making them. On Rooster Teeth you had to send a PM to the game moderator, and once he recorded it you were not allowed to change it (as far as I knew, anyway). I have now adapted to both, and I actually think the game on here is more fun.

Hey, what happened to the Statistics section?

It hadn't been updated since 2010, and it was really updated only sporadically for awhile before. Most of my games as a player were from the late 2000s to the early 2010s, though I have never claimed to be retired from playing. In general, on the Mafia side, you should be looking for me in the theme queues. I usually mod these days, but I will play an interesting enough theme game.

Quotes

This is where you and I get to post quotes by, about, or to me on MafiaScum that we find interesting. Feel free to add on as desired.

These should be in chronological order, by the way.

One-liners

  • I played Day 1 and I think part of Day 2 thinking I was town and didn't realize I was scum until Green Cow PM'd me. I tried to be very conservative with my posts since it would be obvious that I was scum if I did, but apparently that didn't work. We didn't even get a chance to kill anybody. ...Wait a minute—I've got an idea! *shoots xyzzy* —StrangerCoug, Mini 620: Psychopathic Xyzzy Mod, post #161
  • Who the hell cares about social experiments? I refuse to copy and paste signature text just to follow a trend. —StrangerCoug, as part of his signature from 2008-08-02 to 2008-08-07
  • Acting scummy on purpose does not necessarily make a player a jester—it could also be legitimate scum trying to get bussed as a gambit of some sort. I don't see either, but #162 is heavily noted. As in on 10,000 pieces of paper. —StrangerCoug, Mafia 90: Lolwat? Mafia, post #172. Post #162 is this.
  • I'm surprised a rotten tomato fight hasn't started yet, given how ashamed some of you and I are of each other. —StrangerCoug, Mafia 91: Hell Aboard the Purple Flower, post #3195, referring to my regrettable mod actions and several people talking outside the thread that I didn't hear about until the game was over
  • SC, you have to lead to this trick as we- PUT THAT GUN DOWN! —yabbaguy, Hearts, post #344 after "shooting" myself out of confusion for the second time
  • OK, did RedCoyote's cards barf in my inbox!? —StrangerCoug, I Doubt It, post #215, after revealing what RedCoyote claimed was two jacks but clearly weren't
  • Obligatory commercial advertisement: HughesNet sucks. Get something else. —StrangerCoug, BOOM!, post #316, after having to deal with two service outages in a month

Dialogue

StrangerCoug, post #596: How exactly do you buy Income Tax? (bird1111 miscounted his throw and thought he landed on Whitechapel, which was still available.)

StrangerCoug, post #88: Let's add a #6 [to my list in post #4]: Getting people's genders wrong when it's right there in front of your nose.

OhGodMyLife, post #90: Don't talk to her like that.
Cybele, post #790: Wow. It's been nearly a month, but I finally get to roll. (He throws an eight, putting him on Water Works.)
Cybele, post #791: Just so I can pay $32. Bugger all. Call me in February, when it's my turn again.
StrangerCoug, post #793: If I'm not packing when you get back.
crywolf20084, post #718: For JD, I shall bet 363.46153846153845 lower
StrangerCoug, post #719: ...OK, new rule: Bets must be in multiples of $1.00.
animorpherv1, post #980: mod's rule: Every time the mod rolls, it automatically is a 40. NO MATTER WHAT THE DIE SAYS.
StrangerCoug, post #981: Shut up, ani.
StrangerCoug, post #471: ...Guess what I have, everybody? BLACKJACK!
Kmd4390, post #478: Shoot the dealer...
Mastin, post #479: Dayvig: StrangerCoug. There goes one of my three dayvig shots. And the dealer, for that matter. Anyone volunteer to take SC's place? If you're lucky, you won't find the second bullet.
StrangerCoug, post #480: OW! Why did you shoot me for something I had little control over?
Mastin, post #481: Because Luck is an Un-killable neutral survivor.
Castle White Castle, post #827: The cougar is quick like a cat!
StrangerCoug, post #828: That's because a cougar IS a cat xD
Kmd4390, post #942: Higher. I can see through the cards, so I know it's a 10.
StrangerCoug, post #943: Well, ten's certainly higher than a four, so let's see...
(Kmd4390 turns out to have not only made the correct higher/lower call, but correctly guessed the card's value.)
StrangerCoug, still post #943: Well, I'll be damned! It really is a ten! *stands in front of the next card* What's the next one, my beloved psychic?
Kairyuu, post #657: My apologies for the long delay in updating, and thanks much to StrangerCoug for yelling at me and actually making me do it. First post is fully updated.
StrangerCoug, post #660: You're going to love that golf club in a moment.
(The reference is to the title of the PM I gave him to tell him to update the replacements thread.)
ShadowLurker, post #348: higher
Prof. Guppy, post #349: No! Don't! It's a trap!
StrangerCoug, post #350: Higher than a four, you say... Oh, no. It's a two. ani, call the seven!
animorpherv1, post #352: higher
Prof. Guppy, post #353: It's not much higher, but it is higher. No more than a ten-spot.
StrangerCoug, post #354: Higher than a seven, you say... (An eight is revealed.) ... Prof. Guppy, get out of this studio. I can't trust that you haven't been peeking behind the cards.
yabbaguy, post #196: StrangerCoug has been assessed a new posting restriction. He must write at least 500 words per post.
StrangerCoug, post #197: One, two, three, four, (keeps going until) two hundred twenty-three, two hundred twenty-four... Screw this; Microsoft Word says I have enough words.
Robocopter87, post #600: Also, we need more shoving instead of pushing here.
StrangerCoug, post #603: *shoves Robocopter87 off a cliff*
RichardGHP, post #4661: Since when does a cribbage board have more than 32 pieces?
StrangerCoug, post #4662: Since cribbage started being played with a deck of cards.
RichardGHP, post #4663: That's where I went wrong, then. I was under the impression a full deck of cards constituted one piece.
Nobody Special, post #4664: I'll drop the cards on the kitchen floor and you can pick up the one piece.
Jerbs, post #196: I'm not feeling well, plus the storm thats supposed to come tomorrow, makes me think i might be V/LA for some time
StrangerCoug, post #199: That's not a good combo >< Noted.
Parama, post #198 (for convenience purposes, it goes backwards for a bit): There's a chance my power may go out soon due to freezing rain, so consider me V/LA for the next 4 days. I'll keep posting if I don't lose power, of course.
StrangerCoug, post #199: Noted also.
DLG, post #202: Yeah, me three, on the potential to lose power and have to be V/LA. Hope not, but if I suddenly disappear for a couple of days, that's why.
Packbat, post #204: Also, I, too, am in an area where freezing rain is possible - if power is lost again, I will have limited access for a few days.
StrangerCoug, post #206: ...OK, what happened? Did Mother Nature decide to hate everybody?
Packbat, post #207: Yes. (The word "yes" is a link that goes to a weather map which, at the time, showed a large swath of the US going from a little northeast of the El Paso/Las Cruces area, where I am, northeast through New England under a winter storm or blizzard warning, and even where I was there was a winter weather advisory. I would be hit soon after.)
DLG, post #884: Thanks for modding, and thanks for letting me replace in. I still would rather fall of the Tower of Pisa, though.
StrangerCoug, post #885: *flies DLG to Pisa and throws him off the Tower just to make him happy*
(The reference is to a minor mod error in Newbie 1,181, which was eaten by the crash. It and Newbie 1,221 take place in Rome, and the kill flavor I used for DLG in the latter was "thrown off the Tower of Pisa". The Tower of Pisa is not in Rome.)
18 Framm 18, post #343: T
StrangerCoug, post #344: Two T's. What now?
18 Framm 18, post #345: Ugh, I can't stand it, but... Buy an "E"
StrangerCoug, post #346: Two E's.
(In both of my posts, I forget to delete the letter just called from the list of letters left.)
Feirei, post #357: There shouldn't be an E left. ._.
StrangerCoug, post #358: Fixed.
swyellowtail, post #361: There shouldn't be an T left. ._.
StrangerCoug, post #362: *fires the person operating the used letter board and hires a new one*
Two matches later...
DeasVail, post #697: R?
StrangerCoug, post #698: No R.
(I forget to delete R from the list of letters left, resulting in the following argument.)
swyellowtail, post #706: R
StrangerCoug, post #707: No R. (I realize I forgot to mark it as called, but the rules pretty much screw swyellowtail anyway as I have to count already called letters as wrong.)
swyellowtail, post #708: ...That's a MOD ERROR. God damnit!
StrangerCoug, post #709: I considered letting you pick another, but the last post to have the used letter board said "No R" at the top. If your two opponents decide you should be allowed another chance, I'll allow it, but my initial ruling is based on what would have happened either way.
DeasVail, post #710: I am happy with Sw getting another chance.
StrangerCoug, post #711: If RedCoyote approves, you'll be allowed a chance at another letter. The wheel stays at $750.
RedCoyote, post #712: Poor little sw. Resorting to begging for extra chances because he can't keep up with the thread... I'm kidding! I'm fine with sw having another guess. I'll still beat him.
swyellowtail, post #713: Probably going to be a fail anyway: C
StrangerCoug, post #714: No C. *obliterates the C in the used letter board with a plasma cannon to make sure no one picks it again this round* *realizes too late that it's overkill* We'll do repairs later; I know how to fix that thing. DeasVail, spin the wheel.
StrangerCoug, post #24: Who's that in your avatar, Kimor?
Kimor, post #38: It's an original character.
StrangerCoug, post #41: Cute one nonetheless.
Kimor, post #42: Thanks! (He shows another picture of the character, this time leaning against a chess king.)
StrangerCoug, post #43: You're welcome. Fellow furry, I suppose?
Kimor, post #44: Indeed! One of the reasons that I created my new account.
petroleumjelly, post #49: Huzzuh!
StrangerCoug, post #52: *singing* The furries are marching one by one, hoorah... hoorah...
StrangerCoug, post #65: Let's let Twistedspoon predict the hot column.
StrangerCoug, post #66: Right column again~
StrangerCoug, post #67: Let's see...
7 2 1
8 3 6
9 4 7
Are you kidding me? TWO hot columns, one of them the one Twistedspoon called and the other column two, in the columns with two prizes, and the two columns that weren't hot columns last time now have consecutive numbers... It's the attack of the terrible twos, I tell you!
StrangerCoug, post #130: Bankrupt. Sorry. RichardGHP, let's get on the board.
RichardGHP, post #131: Let's. (He spins the wheel.) What's the bet that this is Bankrupt or Lose a Turn?
StrangerCoug, post #132: (RichardGHP lands on Bankrupt as well.) Way to jinx yourself. doctorwho?
RichardGHP, post #133: I think I'm headed for comprehensive doom in both games.
(doctorwho spins the wheel in post #134.)
StrangerCoug, post #135: (It lands on Bankrupt once again.) ...Yeah. Lady Luck hates everybody, apparently.
StrangerCoug, post #56: You are shaking together vodka, peach schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice with ice to be served in a highball glass garnished with an orange slice. What popular cocktail are you making?
BipolarChemist, post #57: Sex on the beach!
StrangerCoug, post #58: BP, ya perv... (Intended to be light-hearted since he gave the correct answer.)
BipolarChemist, post #60: You bet! :D
StrangerCoug, post #2779: Alice, Bob, and Charlie are three players at a craps table. They always bet the pass line and never make any other bets.
  • Alice always bets $25.
  • Bob initially bets $25. If the pass line loses, his bet becomes double his last; if the pass line wins, his bet resets to $25.
  • Charlie also initially bets $25. If the pass line wins, his winnings are added to his previous bet; if the pass line loses, his bet resets to $25.
DISPROVE that any of Alice, Bob, Charlie will be any better or any worse off than the others on average.
inspiratieloos, post #2782: What do they do when their money runs out?
StrangerCoug, post #2789: Assume the players and the casino have unlimited funds.
serrapaladin, post #2790: That doesn't really work though.
Sudo_Nym, post #2795: Welcome to the world of ideal mathematics; where gamblers have infinite funds, cows are spherical, and every surface is frictionless!
StrangerCoug, post #19: Oh, hey, the cute little fox cub avatar is back!
xofelf, post #22: Mine? I love this little fox. I'm probably going to keep making new avys with it cuz it's so fucking cuteeee.
StrangerCoug, post #25: *squeezes it, trying not to choke it to death*
xofelf, post #26: D: Please don't kill my avy. Accidental death is still death. ;~;
StrangerCoug, post #27: I won't. It'd make me sad, too.
