I will assume meat, greekhouse and nibbish are in since they all voted for The Simpsons.
I’m not entirely sure of all the roles, but there will be an obscene number of them.
The Angel will probably be Hibbert. Dr. Nick could also be an angel, but he’d have to have a low success rate.
Mr. Burns will probably be a wolf.
Moe should be present, with a simplified version of the bar options in the Speakeasy.
The Stonecutters will be able to do what Kyle and Stan did last time. Lenny and Carl are the obvious ones, but I could also use Number One and Steve Guttenberg.
Kang and Kodos may be wolves that have the same opportunity to talk during the day that the Stonecutters do.
The Simpsons will probably all be present, but I’m not sure what they’ll be doing.
Santa’s Little Helper might be the Seer. You know, dogs sensing evil and all that.
Additionally, each day, one person will have to speak in the colloquialisms of a certain character, no matter their actual role. Groundskeeper Willie, the Sea Captain, Sideshow Bob, Luigi…there are a lot of possibilities here.
Let me know if you’re in. Survivor X is just around the corner, so this will either start tomorrow (if everyone’s cool with that) or perhaps early next week. If it’s next week, we can always do a fun turbo night between now and then again.
Oh, and I still really need one more writer for Survivor X.
SO FAR

Kang and Kodos get to exchange long protein strnigs?

If you have a better way, I’d like to hear it.

Also? Strings, derp.
Also? I’m in.

Another decisive yes~!

I’m a no, but I would like to get in on the next turbo game if possible.
October 17, 2011 at 1:25 pm
bhiggum
Turbo is fun, I’m up for that again depending on how my work schedule lines out.
October 17, 2011 at 1:26 pm
spookymilk
I’d be down for a turbo tonight, if anyone else wants to comment on that here.
October 17, 2011 at 1:25 pm

I’m in. I can’t wait to be Ralph or Milhouse.
October 17, 2011 at 1:26 pm

Truly, the best and toughest part of this is deciding which characters to use.
October 17, 2011 at 1:52 pm
greekhouse
That’s the nice thing about Simpsons. You can run multiple themed games all with completely different players!
October 17, 2011 at 1:28 pm
cheaptoy1
I’ll do it, might as well have at least one easy kill here.
October 17, 2011 at 1:47 pm
Grey
what time on the turbo… I’ll be with my son, putting him to bed around 8 CST… no avail before that, si.
October 17, 2011 at 1:48 pm
spookymilk
We can tailor the time to when folks are available. Plus, we can play multiples.
October 17, 2011 at 1:47 pm
rob
I’m tempted, but I’m also in all day meetings every day this week, so I probably shouldn’t…
October 17, 2011 at 1:49 pm
spookymilk
Just shut up and do it, rob.
(I’m going for the hard sell. Is that the right tactic with you?)

This is just laying the groundwork for wolfy silence.
October 17, 2011 at 1:59 pm

He’s in character even before I’ve told him his character! Watch out for the Z-man here, folks…

Or, you know, wolfy not playing. I’m still up in the air.

Oh what the heck, I may as well give it another go.

I’m in. Por favor no me hagas un lobo. ¡Ay, ay, ay, no me gusta!
October 17, 2011 at 2:11 pm
spookymilk
I didn’t mention him, but he’s definitely on the list of additional characters.
October 17, 2011 at 2:13 pm
meat2
Homer excepted, bumblebee man is my favorite.
October 17, 2011 at 2:15 pm
spookymilk
Yeah, I’m always laughing my ass off at him.
I think Chief Wiggum’s my favorite (Homer excepted) but when you jump into the next tier of importance, it’s Sideshow Mel and Bumblebee Man at the top.

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I always liked Lisa the most.
Second for me is any character that was acted by Phil Hartman.
October 17, 2011 at 2:30 pm
spookymilk
I think Lisa has her detractors because Lisa-centric shows are always touching, but I love her, because Lisa-centric shows are always touching. For one thing, the broad comedy episodes wouldn’t have quite as much punch if we weren’t invested in the characters because of her type of episode.

stickandballguy
I’ll play, but if only I can be Troy McClure and get killed immediately.
October 17, 2011 at 2:25 pm
nibbish
No upside, but everything he says has to be run through an online translator into Spanish.
October 17, 2011 at 2:29 pm
spookymilk
I thought about that, but I think I’d be nice enough to say just one sentence or phrase in each post has to be in Spanish. If it’s everything, that could be a real pain for everyone. If you guys claim you wouldn’t mind it, though, I won’t hesitate to pull the trigger.
October 17, 2011 at 2:32 pm
greekhouse
How about just broken Spanglish?
I can’t imagine reading or writing an entire post in Spanish, but if there are just a bunch of random Spanish or Spanish-sounding words in there, it would be both hilarious and much easier to read.
October 17, 2011 at 2:33 pm
wyounggw
I’m in as usual. I’ll be another boring villager who never dies.
October 17, 2011 at 2:34 pm
wyounggw
Oh and I’ll also be following from my phone on Saturday and Sunday during the day (like last weekend) and unable to post for some reason, but that didn’t stop me last time.
October 17, 2011 at 2:39 pm
greekhouse
I’ll kill you.
October 17, 2011 at 2:41 pm
wyounggw
Thanks, Dr. Nick
October 17, 2011 at 2:41 pm
stickandballguy
Sideshow Bob should win if he kills Bart.
The Bart, The!
October 17, 2011 at 2:43 pm
stickandballguy
But he loses if he steps on a rake.
October 17, 2011 at 2:44 pm
spookymilk
This should sound so stupid, but it totally might work.
October 17, 2011 at 2:54 pm
greekhouse
Oh man, that would pretty awesome. One house (other than Bart’s) has a rake. If he steps on it, he dies. If he kills Bart, he wins.
One of the things I didn’t like about Cartman was that it seemed like it would be too easy for him to win. This could balance that out a bit.

Man, I am slow on the uptake. I’ve been looking at this joak (the _____, the!) and wondering what I missed. The worst part? I speak fairly good german. D’oh.
October 17, 2011 at 2:53 pm
meat2
oh, I speak german fairly well. Good job. d’oh.
October 17, 2011 at 2:42 pm
wyounggw
I still say you save Steve Guttenberg for the Party Down werewolf theme.
October 17, 2011 at 2:52 pm
meat2
this. Absolutely, this.
October 17, 2011 at 2:57 pm
spookymilk
That probably wouldn’t be as well known a theme, but I can see that.
…and anyway, Lenny and Carl should probably be present.
October 17, 2011 at 3:27 pm
nibbish
Is every single player going to have a role of some sort?
October 17, 2011 at 3:28 pm
spookymilk
Don’t be surprised if that happens.
I love that you, vanillager supreme, are asking this.
October 17, 2011 at 3:38 pm
nibbish
well, yeah… i’m assuming that even the Dread Pirate and I could get an actual role if the entire town consisted of them.
Though you would have to put in two random completely average and nameless roles, just to see if chance really hates us that badly.
October 17, 2011 at 4:31 pm
wyounggw
nibbish would make a really good Gil.

I’m in for turbo tonight (monday) or Tuesday if it’s after 7:00p.

Are you talking CST, free?

I’m in for a turbo tonight (I think, depends on what the plan is dinner-wise).
The Simpsons may have to wait (maybe I’ll be an alternate).

DG is too good for any one-role, clear alliance type of game now.
October 18, 2011 at 2:53 am
AMR
I’m out.
Bart should be the seer. But he has x-ray specs. And to kill the werewolves he has to jump on their head. And he should spraypaint things red for some reason.
October 19, 2011 at 2:11 pm
hungry joe
any word on when this game will be starting?
October 19, 2011 at 2:20 pm
spookymilk
I expect it to begin next Monday, but I’ll partially base the decision on what day DK would prefer to judge Survivor. Once I know how to keep the two games on a separate timeline, I’ll announce opening day.
I wouldn’t even be opposed to tomorrow, if that works out, although we only have ten people and I’d prefer about fifteen.
October 19, 2011 at 3:08 pm
daneekasghost
If you do next Monday I am 64.3% more likely to play. (out of town all weekend).
October 19, 2011 at 4:25 pm
adobery
While I’m sure that’s a pretty close estimate, I’d like to get verification from AMR on that.
October 19, 2011 at 5:12 pm

The Angel will probably be Hibbert. Dr. Nick could also be an angel, but he’d have to have a low success rate.
The Angel could be Hibbert. If Hibbert chooses to take you on as a charity case (protect you), you are under his care and have 90% odds of surviving the werewolf attack. If he does not chose you then you are attended to by Dr. Nick with a 10% chance of survival.
Or some cooler explanation that is Simpsonesque.
