What's curious is that I actually believe you about it being influential, in spite of it being justified by the comment

Tell me more about it. I'll learn something, and nothing better is being done with this thread right now anyway.

haha, indeed.

Basically a very large portion of modern day progressive rock draws its roots from King Crimson. If you listen to weird crap mixed with jazzy chromatics, then it probably can from the Court of the Crimson King.

Abridged reading

*came from

Robert Fripp was a weirdo and in the 60s and 70s when blues rock ruled the world, he decided that music drawing its influences from classical type scales and phrasings would be most appropriate. He also created some weird guitar tuning and style of playing that spawned some pseudo-cultish following.

*sees the band's ready acknowledgment of jazz, esp. hard bop as an influence*
Oh

now

I get it.
You can simplify jazz history by looking at two major poles - on one side, the commercial "cool" stuff, on the other, the individualistic "bop". You can probably guess which side I stay on.

Then again, I can have some respect for the people who come up with ideas that people later expand upon to great effect.

I find the juxtaposition of these videos quite funny.

What do you think:

Sotty7?
jason?
Jasper?
Col. Cathart?
Cirdua?
jeromus?

ITT old people get cranky when they don't get their lynch right now.

Are we really encouraging a hammer without a claim?

What's in it for me to hammer my second pick when I'm still waiting on my first to you know, actually provide content?

What am I listening to as I make this epic post you ask? Good question. Not as cool as the other two picks, but I like it.

I'm not ignoring your question VP, I'd rather let the more scummy people answer first.

Nah, I still want a claim. But grandpa gets cranky when he has to wait.

And ftr, I probably like Janet Jackson more than Moody Blues, so you get an exemption from the question.

Waiting on the rest of you scumbags....

Without speaking for VP Baltar,

yes

.
We'll be waiting a while yet for anything from Cirdua, content or otherwise.
Plus his last post was made when he was already at L-1 so etc.

Banking days for tomorrow, where we can bank further days by lynching your first suspect. (Jasper, right? No objections here.)

Oh Vi, you know

all

the right things to say..

But yeah, I can see you point about the lynch-1 thing and him posting "there is nothing I can say to stop this lynch" kinda suggests a VT claim. We'll see how it goes, I just really miss Jasper

Also happy bday d3x, hope it was a good one

Well, wasn't it you who invited Jasper over here in the first place? Wouldn't you be able to do some cyberstalking to determine if he's lurking or genuinely absent?

Zachrulez · Post Post #261 (ISO) » Sat Apr 03, 2010 4:24 pm

9th vote count of day 1:

Cirdua - 6 (Vi, VP Baltar, Lacey, DeathRowKitty, Jasper, Col.Cathart)
Jasper - 2 (Alexithymia, Sotty7)
Lacey - 1 (d3x)
Alexithymia - 1 (Jeromus)

Not voting (Cirdua, JasonT1981)

With 12 alive it's 7 to lynch.

If I made any mistakes, let me know asap.

DL is April 16 at 1pm CST.

I can cyberstalk with the best of them and Jasper is online and posting on sites that aren't MS. Although he has said he has been busy, I can't help but be cynical and think is his avoiding this game.

According to the Rules, Jasper had 24 hours to respond before he becomes replaced. Which begs the next question...

Mod

- Does the response to a prod have to be in thread or can it be done via PM?

Also, thanks for the b'day wishes everyone

It was a good day.

On topic- Are we wanting to wait for the replacement issue to be resolved or are we just holding our breath over the question of a Claim?

In thread. I've given some leeway due to the Easter weekend. I will start searching for a replacement tonight if he hasn't posted.

I'm mostly concerned about getting a claim. Sotty wants Jasper to show up or be replaced. Vi doesn't care about either. We have a nice little difference of opinions here. Care to join?

I'm leaning heavily toward Hammering. I doubt anything really productive is going to happen and I don't think anything has for a while now.

I'd like a bit of resolution with the Jasper lurking/replacement thing but I'm of the mindset that even if he comes back it will become a recurring theme with him.

Regarding the Claim, I think that if it were anything worth hearing , he would've already said it.

:goodposting:
Except for the middle part; if Jasper hasn't been around enough to post a "busy, will post later" post I would class that as lurking and hold him/his player slot all kinds of accountable for it Tomorrow.

Come on, don't make me start wagoning ABR-style. Or I'll make every one of you listen to this on loop.

Welcome to St. Kitts!

If we're going to hammer, then someone do it. I'm bored this weekend and want to see a flip.

Preview edit: NM.

d3x is more likely Town. Scum would have waited more to run down the clock or otherwise hidden behind the claim/lurker excuse, IMO.

Vi wrote:@VP Baltar: Are you still almost-retired from mafiering?

Well, I was never retiring, just felt like I needed a bit of a break from playing because work was very hectic for awhile there. Things have slowed down for me a bit now, but I'm would still like to keep the number of games I'm in somewhat low until mid-May or so. Basically, any time I say I want a break a bunch of awesome games come up and I end up joining anyhow...

so, tl;dr, you can pre-/in me.

Vi · Post Post #273 (ISO) » Sun Apr 04, 2010 8:29 am

Well, I'm dodging around the issue for a reason. If you're on a Mafia slump, I'm worried that you'll hate me/this setup.

But it's too late to take back your pre-/in*

Anyone you want to invite? I'm trying for some newer faces this time so it doesn't turn into Reverberation-meets-that-Open-Game.

*Not actually true.

VP Baltar · Post Post #274 (ISO) » Sun Apr 04, 2010 8:32 am

What about Nicodemus? Maybe some of the people nommed for best newbie already?

I'm not actually burnt out on mafia or anything, it was just a matter of not really having the time to play properly, which generally leads to people going: "Hey VP, ur not being all aggressive and stuff, you's da scumz!"
