Man, I feel like a chump with my bunless brats now, such is the way when I'm on my lean week though...

I've got 2 1lb pork loins getting ready to go in the crock pot. Mushrooms, taters, garlic, some herbs, and maybe like a salad or something to go with it. also rice.
Day 0: Usenet - The Start of the Beginning of the End of the Start
No one knows exactly how the rift was created. What we do know is that it began with a Scotsman.The True Scotsman held the power to bend reality, but for literally thousands of years we thought it was only possible through his agents - us.
We were wrong.
The invention of usenet was probably the initial spark. Alt.religion, alt.politics and hundreds of similar groups (alt.barney.die.die.die notwithstanding) brought the arguments themselves together, but the discipline of rigorous thought kept things in check. Still, it was the first time so many terrible travesties of logic were deployed in such close proximity, and we believe it was there that the first glimmer, the first glimpse appeared of what was to come.
The years passed. Flamewars burned bright and faded across the lettered world, countless hundreds of times. Perhaps the fire purified them, or perhaps it fed their hunger, but either way, it surely gave them power. Unknown to us, by accident or intentional quote trees, the True Scotsman drew near to his fellows and began, carefully, to communicate. In obscure listservs he hid his intentions and, we think, built his army. By the dawn of the September that Never Ended, the True Scotsman had formed the germ of an idea:
If I say true thing acts as I say, then it does. What if I said that no true idea existed only in the ether? Would I become... real?
It wasn't enough, he wasn't enough on his own, but with the others he had found... perhaps. If only things move more quickly, if only the arguments were a little more ridiculous. The tyranny of logic was already breaking down across the net.
The True Scotsman waited, and planned. It took years, but with the advent of blog comments he knew the time was ripe. The bottom half of the internet was so terrible, so fraught with argument untethered from rationality that all he needed was a tiny push...
In the end, all it took was one hundred and forty characters to unleash the Scotsman and his allies. They had become living beings! Pouring through the rift, they invaded the village of Phalla and immediately began plotting the demise of reason across the world. Flush with newfound power, they thought no one could stop them.
Little did they know! A small collection of rational ideas has watched the True Scotsman. Tasked by Logos to keep logic alive, they knew what they had to do: they slipped through the rift, spread out, and prepared to search for allies and do battle against the Scotsman in the name of all that is True Because it Can Be Proven to Be.
Can the True Scotsman truly destroy reason? Or will the forces of logic drive him back through the rift and save us all?

I had Vocelli Pizza with pepperoni, onions, green peppers and double Coppola ham as the toppings. Followed by a chocolate and vanilla ice-cream cake with mint chips from Cold Stone.
I can't be a good argument because I am nearly* the first to post anything game related. Confirmed network head. Send me your role PMs and I will get this thing rolling.
* damn you Kilnaga for messing up my flawless logic.

If anything you shouldn't have corrected yourself. It would have only added the the terribleness of your claim and proved it true. :P
But if we are going with first post makes us network head, clearly all role PMs should go to me.

I have partooken of a few beers tonight. And it has been a long time since I had alcohol. I feel fuzzy.
If you're soft and fuzzy, like our little characters, you become the skinny kid on the beach, and people in this business don't mind kicking sand in your face.

Sure ignore the guy with the first post after the narration, never mind the fact that it wasn't on topic but it was the first post after the narration. Granted it's not like I wanted to be network head anyways so there. :P

FACT: Did you know that 100% of all Mafia snakes eat their young. This creates certain proof that Mill is Mafia. You can't Spell Mafia without Guilty.
Warban. I see two A's which mafia has two of. You can flip the W into an M, a letter in mafia. Flip b into a p and remove a part so it looks like f, which is also in mafia. Remove part of r to make it look like i. Discard the n. Finally rearrange everything and it spells mafia.

Roles are rolled. This should be interesting!
