Well, it’s not the appendix after all; I don’t know what it is. But I have a Vicodin prescription, that must be worth something (_cough_$50_cough_), right? ---

Nope, I’m a couple of delivery ranges away from that, in the less nice area. My grandfather lives in Melbourne now, so… that’s like two things. ---

Hello my old friends, how I’ve missed you all… It’s been a long time… It’s been exactly a year since the planets aligned and I’ve posted on this board. A year since I’ve posted, and it’s that special time of the year again for old fools… Why not make my first post count? If you have room for an old forgotten relic amongst these boards… I would like to volunteer to be a _substitute_ or to join the game if it’s not too late. -R ---

I may as well post my role PM since I’ve just fulfilled my Win Condition. [QUOTE=Askthepizzaguy] **Septimus** - Pizza Eater **Third Party [Special Win Condition] Role** Can Win With Town Or Mafia, or Solo. Reads guilty to all investigators, sane or insane. Cannot be Watched, Tracked, or Night-Killed. **You win if Day 1 doesn’t start until at least April 1.** You may use only legal means to delay the game, and are not allowed to distract the Moderator from his duties with sexual enticements or pharmaceutical aids. The only way to delay the game may be by ordering enough pizza to keep the Moderator occupied at work. **Special power: You will receive a 15% discount on any Pizza ordered in March.** (However you are expected to tip at least $5 per delivery.) [/QUOTE] So, I’ve won! The pizzas _were_ delicious, at first, but after a while I was eating them with Pepto-Bismol. For the last two weeks, I’ve just been giving them away out by Lake Minnehaha (and starting to attract police attention). Anyway, I’d like to keep playing for fun and promise to try to help Town. Although so far, I’ve still only attracted the one vote from **choie** , I’m sure that, as usual, I’ll become everyone’s favorite Lynch candidate; hence this post. As you can see, my only special power has expired. ---

I don’t need space. He’s in. Everyone who wants in, is in. Listen guys, the game setup can handle, and in fact desires, more players. I worked 12 hours yesterday and had 5 hours of sleep, and I’m working 12 hours tonight. Guess what I’m doing? **Your role PMs.** No April Fools. At some point you’re going to forget about how much I sucked getting the game off the ground, and be enjoying the actual game itself. ---

> [@MHaye](#): > > Hi. 🙂 > > How’s the student doctor biz going? Hey guys 🙂 The plan for me is to graduate in May. I’m currently just doing some outpatient HIV clinical rotations (because I enjoy it) to finish up the month, and then turn in a thesis paper. If all goes to plan and no bumps in the road- hopefully in May, I’ll end up being Funk Doctor Toejam. 😃 **Naf** - please don’t drop out for me, half the fun is playing with you guys again. Man, I’ve missed you guys for the last few years. You have NO idea.
