Falcynn can cook!
Falcynn, Jul 22 2008
After seeing the popularity of the PBJ sandwich recipe in the PX and Faust's recipe for cheesey microwaved potatoes, I decided I'd make my own blog of tasty easy to make meals that you can impress your friends with (or not).
Since this is my first cooking blog I'll start off with three recipes today.
+ Show Spoiler [Pork/Chicken Adobo] +
There are many more complicated ways to make this dish, but this is my oversimplified method that's just as (if not more so) tasty. You can probably also use beef for this, but it might not taste as good. Ingredients-1 pound of pork or chicken cut into large, but still bite sized pieces. -1 cup of vinegar (any vinegar will do except apple cider) -1/4 cup of soy sauce -1 clove of crushed and minced garlic -cracked black peppercorns to taste (or if you don't have whole peppercorns just regular black pepper will do) Cooking1) This part isn't necessary, but if you like you can fry the meat in a frying pan with butter for a few minutes just to get them nicely browned. 2) Throw everything into a sauce pan. Turn the stove onto medium, and just let everything sit uncovered for 40-50 minutes stirring occasionally. 3) That's it. If the sauce starts drying up you can add more, just keep the vinegar to soy sauce ratio at 4:1 The sauce goes great on rice! ^_^
+ Show Spoiler [Easy as fuck baked red potatoes] +
I made this and some frozen chicken fingers for my dad (my dad and I take turns cooking dinner) when I was too lazy to make anything more complicated. It's stupidly easy, yet my dad (and everyone I've ever cooked them for) always ask what the recipe is because apparently it's actually that good.
Ingredients
-About 8 small red potatoes cut into quarters
-A clove or two of garlic crushed and minced
-Salt (however much you feel like adding)
-Pepper (same)
-About half a handful of a mix of rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, and whatever herb you have that fits into this category (I just use a container of "Italian Seasoning" that includes all of this I think)
-1/4 cup of olive oil (I actually just eyeball it so I'm not sure exactly how much I use)
Cooking
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
2) Drop everything into a huge ass bowl and mix with your hands (make sure your hands are clean)
3) After everything is mixed thoroughly place the potatoes in a baking dish large enough so that the potatoes don't pile on top of each other.
4) Once the oven is preheated, put the potatoes in and bake for an hour.
5) Take the potatoes out and enjoy!
+ Show Spoiler [Home Made Pasta Sauce] +
Just some really simple to make tomato pasta sauce.
Ingredients
-A can of diced tomatoes
-A can of tomato sauce
-A clove or two of garlic crushed and minced
-Half a can (the small 4oz cans) of tomato paste
-Italian Seasoning (refer to my previous recipe for clarification)
Optional: half a pound of ground beef
Cooking
1) Put everything (except the ground beef) into a sauce pan, and turn the stove on to medium-low
1a) Optional: Heat up a frying pan and add in the ground beef and start frying/stirring it. Once the meat is browned, drain the fat and add the meat into the sauce.
2) Gently stir the sauce every 10 minutes for an hour or 2 (or until the sauce looks done to you).
3) Add the sauce to whatever you want (probably spaghetti) and enjoy!
I'll see you guys with my next recipe...whenever I get around to writing another one of these.
Random question.
Falcynn, Jul 20 2008
I was just wondering. Since posting a blog doesn't increase your post count, but making a new topic in any other forum does. What happens if you make a topic in say the General forum, and it gets moved to blogs. Do you lose 1 post count or do you get to keep it?
Edit: Damn it, I should've posted this in the general forum and hoped that the mods would move this to blogs. I fail T.T
Do you think in words or images?
Falcynn, Jul 08 2008
I don't recall how we got onto this subject, but a couple of my friends and I were talking about what goes through our minds when we...think. I always think in words except when I'm daydreaming/fantasizing (as in I essentially talk to myself in my head) and I always assumed everyone else did the same, however most of my friends claim that they think purely in images and never do the whole internal monologue thing.
For example, instead of saying to yourself "hey, I think I'll order a pizza tonight" they claim to just imagine themselves ordering a pizza and eating it, no words spoken to themselves at all.
So I figured I'd ask how do you usually think?
Poll: How do you usually think?
(Vote): In words (I talk to myself in my head)
(Vote): In images (there's a movie/slideshow in my head all the time)
(Vote): It's about even.
What the fuck is this shit?

ARGGGGHHHH!!! You know how when you're trying to download something or register on a website they'll ask you to type in some letters in a fucked up font to prove you're not a bot?
Well if that wasn't annoying enough now they got this...
I MEAN WTF IS THIS SHIT?!?!?
Took me 5 fucking tries to get that. Is there anyone else who hates this as much as I do?
When I'm bored...

I like to do random crap like this
Took me roughly 15 minutes worth of refreshing to get that, and yes I posted in that graffiti thread purely for this purpose. Was thinking of posting in the bollocks thread to make 5...but I thought against it.

Latest Changes March 30 13:30 KST
Updated clues.
Note to all people who read this.
Spring Break has ended for me so I won't have as much time to update this as I'd like. So please, please, please, post or PM me any posts you think should be placed here. Even if you think that someone might've already told me about the posts, send them to me anyways. I'd rather have 10 people linking me to the same post, than not having anyone at all sending me anything.
Important Notice!Since I can't keep track of the whole thread myself, please PM me or post here any posts you feel should be listed here.
Read this post for Ace's new plan!
http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessa...pic_id=67925¤tpage=127#2528
Also if you haven't done so yet, Ace wants EVERYONE to PM him your roles, even if you're just a plain green towny. If you're blue and want to wait a bit to see if a detective steps up that's fine. However if you're a regular towny, please PM him right now to let him know.[/b]

Well...not really
since we know that death is the ultimate vindication of a towny's innocence, their posts obviously have no bias whatsoever. Maybe the mafia targeted them randomly. Or maybe they targeted him because he was onto something. In case it's the latter this section will be used to collect the past posts of our fallen brethren so that we may find some lost truth in their past words.+ Show Spoiler [Day 3 Deaths] + + Show Spoiler [Day 2 Deaths] + So far I got all of the posts of the deceased in quotes. I will work to try to get them into links to hopefully make it a bit easier to pick and choose through everyone. Thanks a bunch to xDark.Carnivalx <3 <3 <3 + Show Spoiler [OneBlueAugusts' posts] +

Just so the mods know, I'm not spamming this thread. I'm just the type of person that always has one more thought after I hit the post button, and I don't think editing in a mafia game should be allowed.
Anyway, the reason I think the quotes I mentioned are probably clues is because they stand out from the rest of the storyline. Perhaps I see this dichotomy because I'm a writer, but the dialogue seems very stilted and unnatural, as if it was inserted into the story, instead of being written in along with everything else. If that's the case, then it was probably put in after a general outline of the day post had been fleshed out. The only thing that would be added at that point are the clues, which is why I feel that the dialogue contains the relevant information.
This theory is further supported by the fact that some of the dialogue is double-punctuated (IE: a quote ending with an exclamation, followed by an extraneous period). Perhaps Chuiu and Dapperdan just don't pay much attention to their grammar rules, but the other possible explanation for that is that the sentence was inserted in, and they forgot to delete the extra period.

I never said we should lynch you. The best tactic for town right now is to wait out on you and see how things develop. Lynching you if you're innocent is a set-back for the town, but keeping you if you're mafia is not really a problem. You'd just be like any other mafia, except more suspicious  .

Sorry, but...you're a fucking idiot!
actually it's a sound strategy. Shit stirrers are no benefit to the town, and if we make it clear we'd lynch them they would shape up. If they continue to behave that way we have no choice but to think they are Mafia and get rid of them.
I have to agree. So far, shitstirrers like Shallow and Showtime! contributed nothing but confusion. I really hope they are with mafia, cause whatever side they're on, they only hinder it... Just let's hope they're no special towny roles, would suck to have them wasted like that.

I think it's very important that all the detectives know for sure that the mayor is legit. Of course saving up the ability to check a person's role is also important, but the start is of utmost importance. Also, once the mayor is elected everybody should be able to reveal their roles to him. Don't forget that if the mafia tried to claim a role to the mayor, and more than the number of the assigned roles claimed it, the mafia would be quite easy to spot, so I doubt they would try that move.
In fact, another of the downfalls of Empyrean's self-revealing is as follows: While every detective just uses one of their checks to see if the mayor is legit, Empyrean (the only one who claimed he is a detective, and as such we should try to use him to save a role-check), should use his power to check the pardoner instead. He will probably be muted by the saboteur tho, so then one of the hidden detectives will have to waste another role-check on the pardoner, while Empyrean will eventually either be kept mute or dead as soon as a different target arrives.
This would leave us with a mere 3 [edit: oh, plus the 2 from the jack, so it's pretty OK!] role-checks for the rest of the game, but It's still well worth it IMO.

No, the pardoner should use the role when he has enough conviction to believe that the town is falsely lynching.
If there were a mafia pardoner who decides to pardon a mafia member without a "good" reason, the town will suspect him anyway, leading to the revelation of another mafia.
Besides, I can always confirm someone's role.
We're obviously all aware that a detective as mayor would be AWESOME, the problem is just your "coming out" like this, so it forces the town to move radically. (Of course right now the medics really don't have any better targets, just as the detectives, so in the first day I guess it's not a big problem... But still, the Bodyguard Plan sounds good and solid - without too much guessing, too.)

Why do you guys hold the role checks so importantly? 2 role checks limits the use of them significantly. There's no logic in role checking a townie out of a hundred to in case he might be mafia. It's better used to confirm fundamental assumptions, like the mayor really is on your side, and whether if people are fake role checking. The other skills are still very useful.
That's just what I said as well. Altho towards the end of the game I suppose the role-check will become even more important in case there is a case like with Live2Win. That's because, even though the plan of the role-townies revealing themselves all to the mayor would ensure all the roles are accounted for, if one of the roles doesn't have all the members being active enough it might pose such a problem that imposters might show up and infiltrate the system. Besides, there will always be plenty of townies who will draw suspicion to themselves through irrational behaviour (i.e Empyrean ).

Besides, you just basically put it like "oh and btw I'm a detective, kinda an advantage, right?".
So now it's the best interest of the town to have you:
1) Protected (medics please?)
2) Investigated (detectives please?)
Basically now the town has to act and correct the situation because of your own decision. If you're right a DT mayor would of course be swell for town - but if you're not, we have to deal with the situation.

You just confused me :\ If he was a vanilla townie then we could have been wasting mafia roles, but they might have realized and ignored Emp. Or Emp really is a detective and he's trying to now avert attention from himself.
Exactly. If he was a vanilla townie and thought his position through properly, he would have realized that he can hurt the mafia more by lying about him being a detective. Or, he's a detective after all, and is now just trying to save his hide. Or, he's mafia, in which case the confusion is obvious, but then he just made himself suspicious for no real benefit, and the best move would jut be to hold him suspicious without any direct actions atm.

I don't see what kind of tactic it is to always enable double lynches and why it is in town's best interest. I don't see how "bodyguard protection is wasted" once mafia will put multiple targets up. In fact, I don't even get it what you want to say :/ Equally like "A detective mayor/pardoner is the best bet for the town. Even more so than a DT mayor."
So a detective mayor is better than a detective mayor? What?
1. DT is the dark templar role, which can kill anyone. 2. Enabling double lynches allows for more mafia deaths - lynches are the only way we can kill mafia. 3. I meant to say paramedic. If I'm not mayor/pardoner and a paramedic protects me, the mafia are smart enough to post two hits on me to ensure my death.
Dark Templar role? Is that in the OP?
Suicide Bomber.
Oooh alright. I don't see how a SB mayor could be considered good for town in any case, besides the fact that their role is basically nullified.
It ensures that the mayor is safe from Suicide Bombers if all the bodyguards die - the paramedics will still probably protect the mayor.
The suicide bombers can't kill a mayor, it wouldn't make any sense whatsoever if they could. [edit: and suggesting all the bodyguards would die before is really far fetched] So either you haven't read the rules at all (don't know the roles, don't know the abilities), or you're doing all this deliberately, or you said something you now want to be unsaid. Any case, I think it's now in your best interest to step down from the election and let us decide later Because either you're not serious enough about the task of a mayor or a mafia. Not a good choice any way. Plus you've now made yourself sound suspicious.

i reread the plan, and for some reason i had in my mind that then the townies would be pm'ing their roles to the bodyguards, but i see he never wrote that in any case, this wouldn't work because of the massive pool of townies. Yes, it'd be easy to fish out the role claimers, as there are only two or three of each role, but the pool of townies is like 90 something people, which would allow mafia to just put their names in as townies, and it wouldn't help much. But anyway, I'm curious as to how the plan will continue. So hypothetically lets say Ace is mafia. He gets into "office" releases the names of the bodyguards, and everything seems fine. But if the town thinks he is legit, as he well might be, he garners a huge amount of trust and can sway the lynching votes away from his fellow mafia. But anyway, even if we do get the bodyguard names, where do we go from there? IF ace is mafia, he could release the names, but just as well kill all the bodyguards the first night. Well great, we lynch him, fine. But now pardoner has no bodyguards, and we're down a mayor. I dunno I guess someone should be skeptical of this plan
No, you don't realize a vital part of the plan, namely that the detectives use their role-check ability to see if the mayor is mafia or legit. If he is mafia we will know at once, if he's not, also. Worst case scenario is we lose a detective vs a mafia, best case scenario is we have a solid foundation for the rest of the game.

I just now had time to catch up to the latest events and I have a couple things to say. Firstly, fusion, lay off of Ace please? Ace seems absolutely competent for his job, if based only on the fact that he's not acting based on emotions (unlike many of you here). Lynching iNc was easily justified, and explained oh so many times. If a person doesn't respond for 2 days while having a PM about being a Mad Hatter in their mailbox... well, nobody could have possibly predicted that. iNc is pretty much at fault himself here.
Also, lynching Empyrean is only in the mafia's best interests. Why? Well, if I was mafia, I would now be pretty much confused about Empyrean's role (and chances of him being mafia are not too high actually). I think the following course of events is likely: If we largely predict Empyrean to be dead tonight, they will leave him be and have him attract suspicion to himself. If however we largely predict that they will know we think so, and that's exactly the reason they kept him alive, we should not jump the gun too soon because we risk lynching an active townie.
Had we lynched Empyrean first day, that's a lot of problems off of mafia's shoulders, less guessing for them to do. Still, Emp presents a good target for the mafia even now, so helping them by going ahead and doing the job for them is in no way a good strategy.
As for the Mad Hatter, I can't believe how some of you base your arguments on the mere fact that he happened to be a blue. If anything, it was iNc's fault! Ace went out of his way to ensure a role would not be harmed, his actions clearly shown it.
Calm down people, and be reasonable. Now that we have a solid foundation for the game, let's do our best to build up from here, and work together with the people in office.

Let's hope once Ace is in the office the plan works and we'll soon have a mayor who could then coordinate us and see if Emp really is legit. With a saboteur and a suicide bomber among the mafia tho, Emp is absolutely useless to the town now either way, except we might save a lynch if he is proven innocent. That's about all the use there is.

This way mafia loses a member quite soon and quite certainly. It also has to be added though, that role-checking the detectives is absolutely important tho, as they and the bodyguards are the base of the whole mayor-town network and have to work closely with the mayor. Role-claiming other roles is also not a good idea for mafia, as roles can always be checked upon, and a mafia will always come into a short list of people and a lot of suspicion this way. Imagine mafia claiming a paramedic role. Now mayor assigns the paramedics to different targets (only he knows the targets and their roles) - now if one of the targets still dies it means the mafia somehow knew about the protection and sent more killers or the protector wasn't even protecting anything. Equally, if the mafia does not target the fake medic's assignment, it basically ensures the target's safety. So it's almost as having an extra medic around Fake-claiming roles for mafia does not seem like a good strategy here.

Reposting this part from my own post since I really want peoples thoughts on this.
Ok here's my take - it would be a pretty good idea from a Mafia standpoint. 1.) Empryean did very well last game 2.) For some reason, people think the probability of him being Mafia again has changed when it really hasn't 3.) He claims a role that is important and can't be verified right now 4.) Most importantly, it adds confusion to the game 4 is the prime reason that if I were Mafia, it would be a great tool. People trust Empryean, and if another DT comes and investigates him well they'd be hard pressed to prove it - and now the Mafia knows another DT role with nothing else weighing in on their decisions aka an easy kill. Thats an element of confusion that takes away from the main focus, and the easiest way for the Mafia to win is to confuse the Townies. I'm not saying Empryean is Mafia, but that was a very risky move. There was no point in revealing his alleged role so early in the game. Maybe he's afraid that he'd be killed early and is innocent after all - and if that's the case for someone so smart he should have provided a better angle of campaigning.
I agree. What really goes against Empyrian here is that since he did well last game this feeble move right now seems like quite a misstep. Doesn't look right.

Btw, and advice to paramedics: protect people who you see as being active and posting lots of proactive advice. Think the way a mafia would - it is in scum's best interest to target active, helping townies, so make your decisions based on that. Make them waste their hit power.

Empyrian, none of the points you made make any sense. Every further post you make just makes you look more and more suspicious.
I don't see what kind of tactic it is to always enable double lynches and why it is in town's best interest. I don't see how "bodyguard protection is wasted" once mafia will put multiple targets up. In fact, I don't even get it what you want to say :/ Equally like "A detective mayor/pardoner is the best bet for the town. Even more so than a DT mayor."
So a detective mayor is better than a detective mayor? What?

I thought so too, but why is he using "/" then? :/ And what does it have to do with his goal? Is he asking for an "other" detective to come out as well?

Well, you can't just "do that" even though we got way less spam this time (wait until next clues are out though, I'm sure that'll mean +20 pages under 5 hours ). Even though the Town has very few things to do atm, the Mafia needs a lot of time to organize (20 people in a PM madness can be pretty time-consuming ) So let's just wait and pray for our lives
I don't think they would communicate through PMs tho, that's not really efficient. If I was mafia I'd make use of a separate forum created for this reason, passworded and all. Then again, if they don't use anything like that - more power to us But yeah, awaiting day now, nothing better to do than speculate... :/

Mynock, I've had enough of these immature random accusations. I understand if you're just trying to have fun, but confusing the town is never a good thing.

imo if the mafia was smart, they would have 1 or two claim the detective roles to cause a lot of confusion and stall while townies died, even if they got lynched in the end

Yogurt, instead of waiting for Ace to post, I'd be interested in discussing it with you.
i reread the plan, and for some reason i had in my mind that then the townies would be pm'ing their roles to the bodyguards, but i see he never wrote that in any case, this wouldn't work because of the massive pool of townies. Yes, it'd be easy to fish out the role claimers, as there are only two or three of each role, but the pool of townies is like 90 something people, which would allow mafia to just put their names in as townies, and it wouldn't help much. But anyway, I'm curious as to how the plan will continue. So hypothetically lets say Ace is mafia. He gets into "office" releases the names of the bodyguards, and everything seems fine. But if the town thinks he is legit, as he well might be, he garners a huge amount of trust and can sway the lynching votes away from his fellow mafia. But anyway, even if we do get the bodyguard names, where do we go from there? IF ace is mafia, he could release the names, but just as well kill all the bodyguards the first night. Well great, we lynch him, fine. But now pardoner has no bodyguards, and we're down a mayor. I dunno I guess someone should be skeptical of this plan

you mean the other way around right? at worst he's a townie? unless you meant it that way...! seriously though,i think the lynch would be better used on one of the quieter players, as we learned from last game

I'm not pming yet on the premise Ace might be mafia
Another thing i have to say is everyone consider what they would do if they were mafia
Would you really be contributing, besides maybe running for mayor, or would you lay back and try to let the town incriminate themselves like last match?
The quietest ones are often the most dangerous

even if empyrean is mafia, i dont see how it could potentially be THAT bad
his double vote doesn't count for much, and if he doesn't put our double lynch demands to use, we can just lynch him and be done with it
if he is really townie, or detective as he claims, then he would truly be a crazy help to the town
he knows the game, winning it last round, and writing a detailed summary, so either way we either get a huge plus, or a not so bad negative

If the names have any meaning at all, it's a deeper on, such as the tie-in to one director or type of movie.
Although I agree that the clue is too vague, chuiu specifically says that he avoids doing intentional red herrings.

This is a section where I try to summarize the main topic(s) being discussed currently.
Ace has confirmed Mandalor to be a mafia. Mandalor PM'd Ace claiming to be a detective, but after a simple test that Mandalor managed to fail it was obvious to Ace that he was mafia. So now everyone's bandwagoning against Mandalor. In other new Heros)Pink is stirring shit up again.

[Rant/Q]Holy shit I hate my keyboard
Falcynn, Mar 16 2008
So I just lost my third iccup game today in a row. I usually wouldn't be mad about it because that's what you have to go through to get better. But no, I lost mainly because my capslock button is so huge that I keep accidently pressing that instead of my A button, and my control button seems completely unresponsive and about half the time doesn't seem to want to work (and I doubt I'm misclicking it because it also tends to screw up when i copy/paste). I figured I'd just try to work around these problems, but fuck it. If I'm gonna lose anymore games I want it to be because I'm a crappy player, not because of my keyboard.
So any suggestions as to what keyboards are good for gaming? (actually I'll probably just buy any regular keyboard. The one I used before worked fine, but I spilled soda on it and fucked it up. So I just got this one out of my garage. However I thought I'd just ask if there are any particularly good keyboards for SC.)
Damn you SC...why do you have to be so hard...
Falcynn, Mar 04 2008
I'm horribly horribly sleepy right now (got barely any sleep last night)...but I have some OCD compulsion that I can't go to bed unless the last game I played was a win. So now I'm just playing nonstop on random smurfs until I can claim a victory. The only problem with that is the longer I go on the less chance I have of winning since I'm not paying attention to anything. One game I spent like half the time just staring at my hands...
I've resorted to dt rushes, zeal rushes, and even playing zerg and 4pooling just to get one last win...but I just can't get it...arrrgghhhhh.
Oh, and anyone who read my last blog, I'm actually doing alot better now (when I'm awake) thanks to practice, but also this awesome multitasking trainer ecoli (Dr.Dragoon) told me about. I still suck horribly at PvZ despite having the most practice with it, but hopefully I'll learn to overcome that. My favorite mu right now is PvT which I've gotten so much better at. PvP is kind of hit or miss, sometimes I'll just wtfpwn people who are leagues ahead of me, or I'll lose horribly to some random noob.
Edit: in case anyone would like to see the training map, it's here

Starting up BW again after 6 months of inactivity.
Falcynn, Feb 21 2008
Well watching all of these korean broadcasts has finally inspired me to start playing BW again. However to get back into even my former noobiness I'm gonna need to start massgaming on iccup (since that seems to be the popular league right?). So...I guess this blog is mostly to track my progress. Also if anyone wants an easy win, feel free to ask.
