QFT

You're welcome to write an "About me" post before answering.

Cool beans: I'm CDB, I'm 17 years old (turning 18 in September) and I currently live in the Netherlands, though I am an English expat and lived in Asia from 1993 to 2002 (spending time in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore). I'm currently working towards my A-level exams which, barring any disasters, will qualify me for a place studying Spanish at the University of East Anglia next academic year. I've been playing Mafia for just over two years, with a break or two in between.

What is your favorite word?

Discombobulated. Shenanigans is a close second.

What is your least favorite word?

Franchise.

What turns you on?

Open-mindedness, science fiction, and vigging one's own mason partners "just to be safe".

What turns you off?

Smoking, bad grammar, Americanisms, and Sony.

What sound do you love?

Good music, food cooking on a barbecue, and the New Zealand accent.

What sound do you hate?

Rap, techno or country music, crappy interview questions on TV like "how do you feel after winning the world's most prestigious competition in your field?"

What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?

As my profession is currently student, I'll answer this double. In the future I'd like to be a sports journalist or a writer/producer on TV. In my dreams I'd like to be a professional footballer or cricketer - or even just a manager.

What profession would you not like to participate in?

Anything to do with sewage, also the army.

What's your favorite curse word?

Shit. With bile-infused emphasis on the 'shhhhh'.

If heaven exists what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

"Yeah, just kiddin'. Sorry kid, this ain't the afterlife you're looking for. Move along now." (fade to black)

Who on this list should be next for GTKAS?

mikeburnfire.

Firstly, it's

Doctor Who

. If you abbreviate it,

you

fail.

Secondly, I don't believe I fail on all things Whovian, but if I do, it's only because I care about the show. [shameless plug] If you want to make up your mind about whether I fail on all things Doctor Who, and on numerous other subjects besides, check out The CDB Desk blog which I update at least once a week, and starting in the next few days, its sister blog The CDB Pod, which will cover sport.

My iPod.

If you could be reincarnated as a burrowing land mammal, what would it be?

Worst. In-Joke. Ever.
(I'm thinking a stoat)

How do you feel about the 2008 Olympics?

So the runners are dying from the air pollution and the hosts have a dodgy human rights record? C'mon man, it's the OLYMPICS! It's gonna be awesome!

Well, true, it's going to be awesome, but it's not going to feel quite as Olympic.

If you could mod one setup right now, what would it be?

Stargate Atlantis Mafia v2.0, the reworking of the Mini Theme I ended up abandoning last time I was here, or Star Wars Mafia, the Large Theme I'm working on for when I start modding again.

Do you have a favorite type of cheese?

Mature cheddar. The end.

If there was one player on mafiascum that you could meet in MeatWorld, who would it be?

Anyone but yellowbounder...D'OH! Seriously, maybe Zindy or CES - means no exorbitant overseas travel fees.

Do you regret nothing?

I regret that you didn't word this question correctly. It should read "Do you have any regrets?". The answer should be "Of course, I'd be thoroughly suspicious of someone who didn't", but seeing as you didn't ask that question, you don't get to see that answer.

What mistake did you used to make when playing mafia?

Playing too many games at one time, making me lurk/drop out in all of them.

If mankind gains the ability to make meat without the slaughter of animals, would you eat it?

No. I don't need meat now and I wouldn't need it then. I'm comfortable with my diet as is.

North Island or South?

It can be said in either way... and its where I got my doctor who opinion of you(your blog that is), I accepted a lot of it thinking it was your opinion but then you seemed to like Martha more than Donna and that = big fail. So where do Martha Rose and Donna come in relation to one another?
Whats your favourite/least favourite episode?
Tennant or Ecclestone?

If you had oodles of money, would you be a space tourist, or get a house of the future?
What has been the worst nickname you have been given?
If you had to dye your hair, what colour would it be?
Do you have a favourite number? If so, why?

hasdgfas wrote:what's your best game as town so far?

I'm not sure I have a standout (I almost always feel better about my play during games than looking back on them), but I did pretty well in VisMaior's Bastard Mod Mafia, taking down two scum and an SK as a Miller-vig. There was also GreenLiquid's Post Restriction Mafia Mega, where I lasted 6 days as a virutally outed-from-the-start mason.

what's your worst game as town so far?

All of the games in which I flaked, although ironically it was the time I came back after disappearing that lost the town the game in Dead Rikimaru's Seven Samurai Mafia.

what's your best game as scum so far?

Actually my first game, bigdaddyblock's Street Justice Mafia, where I replaced LML who had counterclaimed the cop. I got the cop lynched and set up what would have been a scum win if the mod hadn't vanished.

what's your worst game as scum so far?

I refer the right honourable gentleman to Band Mafia, where if I hadn't been an idiot newbie and thought that confirming one's vote meant locking it in for the day (how the hell did I manage that?), I might have been OK. Either that or Wheel of Time Mafia, another of my first games, where lack of knowledge of the flavour finished me off as the SK.

If you were going to die, but had one more mafia game you could play and you could choose any theme you wanted, what would it be and why?

Tough to say - I always end up writing setups for my favourite themes rather than playing in them - but I think rather than playing a game based on a certain stimulus I'd like to play a game with different, quirky mechanics - something like Commodore Amazing's Choose Your Own Role Mafia or Yggdrasil's News Mafia.

YA SRSLY.

North Island or South?

Either. I'm not fussy. They're both awesome.

Rose, then daylight, then Martha, then Donna. Sorry, she's too shouty. Don't like her.

Whats your favourite/least favourite episode?

Blink is the best episode by miles, one of the very few episodes I found genuinely scary and brilliantly plotted. Least favourite - the Shakespeare one last season. Just couldn't get into it.

Tennant or Ecclestone?

;_; Don't make me choose...oh go on, then, Ecclestone. Wish he'd stuck around longer.

Space tourist, no question.

What has been the worst nickname you have been given?

I've never really had a problem with any nicknames I've had...though people who misspell my name as "ChannelDeliBird" need to learn to read.

If you had to dye your hair, what colour would it be?

Pretty sure I'd be able to find a dye of the same colour as my own - lightish brown, by the way. I'm comfortable with it as is.

Do you have a favourite number? If so, why?

There are a few I like - 25 is nominally my favourite, because that's the number Gianfranco Zola wore for Chelsea (note: I'm not a Chelsea fan, I just used to love watching him play). I also like 6, 12, and 24. Actually, that whole 6 times table is pretty awesome. I have no idea why I like it so much.
