Let’s see…you were the one who brought Mafia here. You were the guy who was in the centre of the whole April Fool’s Domebo incident. You…sometimes go as Lucifer…I think. Maybe. And that’s about it.

To follow in your footsteps. I believe it was you who pulled one of the most memorable acts of Mafia Infamy, and when I was reading that back in the day- i realized- wow, these people [Dopers] are insane!
