28 is considered old in Shady Village? Hmmm. Did the mafia dump toxic waste nearby many moons ago? And pokepal was the town doc even though he seemed to spend most of his time hawking canned scrambled eggs? People seem kinda off in this town.

Meanwhile, there's a granddaughter to comfort! People need food after funerals, so I'll ask for some pumpkins. Perfect to make pumpkin pie! Takes a flea a long time to put the whip creme on top, but it's worth it!

Hey guys, anyone want a raccoon? I fed this mythical creature on nothing but wheatbix and vegemite. He looks incredibly happy!

That's not a raccoon, that's a wallaby! You can't fool me!

Raccoons, Wallabies, Red Pandas, it's all good to us fleas! We like variety!

I'll take a blowfish, please thanks. What girl could resist a well-prepared blowfish? I'd even take the first bite, just to make sure it wasn't deadly! Now that's true love!

Statues of the mayor, you say? Not a bad idee, but I hope it doesn't get out of hand like it has in some burgs



We need room for the crops!

I'll pick the Peacocks next. Such beautiful birds! Any flea would be proud to live on such an animal!

I was a little concerned 'bout Granny Mop it up's greeting, but she seems a little crotchey towards everyone. Guess it jus' takes her awhile to warm up to new folks. I'm sure her granddaughter is a lovely meal, I mean girl!

I love apple pie! I'd be happy to keep the pests away from MKBungle's apple orchid! Without having to use pesticides, he could sell his apples at the high organic price! I wonder if lolmonade's wife makes lemonade as well as apple pie? The Sunshine Festival is looking delicious!

Howdy, folks! A. Flea, here. So good to be here in Shady Village! Mayor Khushrenada's brochures made it seem like the place to be! And so welcoming! Offering free crops to get a farmer started! They'll be food around the corner in no time!!

Mayor Khush, I'll have peaches and morning glories for my first crops. Thank ye!

Do you think the next mafia will have a simpler ruleset? I noticed some people mentioning it. The challenge is having enough tweaks to still make it interesting (more interesting than a regular mafia game already is, that is!).

(I myself was also away for that weekend and back home late Monday. It made me just miss out the Tetris 99 Event. I suddenly remembered the Monster Hunter theme was happening and logged on. I had about 48 minutes to get it. Closest I came was 5th place in one match. The clock passed the deadline and I need 20 points to get it which would probably require another top ten finish or higher. I got eliminated around 42nd place just giving me 10 points and a total of 91/100 only for the theme to then disappear. First time I missed a theme in Tetris 99. Obviously this is the worst thing anyone suffered while this game was played.  )

There hasn't been a greater tale of woe since Juliet and her Romeo.

I think the game was good. It's just that the mafia was on the ball quicker than usual and certain things fell their way early on. If Gooigi had've lived longer and the Vigilante made some hits, things would've been more interesting (or the game ended even sooner. ).

Does the new intro music signal the beginning of season 6? The music made me think this is what it's like to go clubbing with Jon and Eiji Aonuma. Great fun, but a bit scary?

Glad James kept in the bit during the break talking to Xander about Dr. Mario World.

I had Internet troubles for the first day and much of the second. I talked to pokepal, Steefosaurus and James. I wondered if James had some kind of vigilante or killer role, but it was just a thought. I knew pokepal had a role after I was sent back to Home Sweet Bog, but I thought he was the doctor at first rather than the Vote Manipulator.

I thought Luigi Dude and TOPHATANT123 had to be mafia.Their votes were a bit too convenient.

I'm surprised ShyGuy didn't start taking people out at some point. Not much to lose if you make a mistake at the rate things were going. Though I understand things came up so I'm not sure how much that affected his actions.

Congrats to Mop It Up, TOPHATANT123, Luigi Dude and Mr. Bungle!

Looks like the ghost dingos are surrounding RABicle. That's why mansions are so dangerous. This kind of stuff never happens out in the swamp graveyard. So tranquil out there!

I had Internet troubles until Friday, so that's why I wasn't as active until Day 2. I remember one mafia where I had Internet troubles and wasn't able to even read a post until Day 3 and I got pretty far into the game. Don't think I won that one, but close.

*a crack of lightning* *A flash of thunder*

Greetings, fellow mansion dwellers! Elvin's teaching me how to duplicate myself. I hope the conversations I have with myselves will be more interesting than the conversations I already have with myself.

How could Polterkitty think the worst of me? After all the times I'd slip them caviar from the swamp sturgeons right under King Boo's "nose"! Hopefully, he'll think of those times and reconsider his vote. I don't want to become friends with Polterpup. Always digging up the graves searching for golden bones!

I'm voting No Vote. As this bog brain learned while  talking to Jarvis, the wise jar ghost,  no votes can act as a brake on the mafia getting together and running the votes during the early days. If we're lucky, the killer could take out one of the mafia, perhaps the one that orders the hit. Would that cancel the mafia's hit for that night Khush.. I mean Elvin?

*gurgle* Excuse me! Some peat indigestion going on there! ThePerm, who told me ghosts could be pirates, got offed by the Boo Mafia?! The guy who gave me hope that I can aspire to something besides witnessing firsthand the effects of swamp gas. That ghosts can be anything they want! I hope his murder is avenged.

Maybe he'll come to the graveyard to play! I hear there's a new game called Metroid Dread. But I dread to play it, being as fearful as I am. Maybe I can look over somebody's obliging shoulder playing the game while I quiety despair, wondering if this is Sakamoto's last game!

Hey, folks. Bogmire here. Kermit the Frog said it wasn't easy being green. He should try being purple! Sitting on a log singing to the forest creatures is easy! Try living in a swampy graveyard with corpses for company! Sigh. There's a reason why people sing "A Pirate's life for me" instead of a ghost's life.

(I also wonder what might happen if a killer does get the flag on Day 1 or 2 and were to win early. Would players be ok with a quick win or decide the rule sucks if it were to happen?) Moreover, most of the players for this game were around for the Metroid game. With the majority having experience of playing a game with that rule set, I'm curious to see if that will result in different strategies this game now that you are familiar with how it works.

I'd be alot of work for you I'm sure, but I wonder if the "worst" happened and the game ended on day one or two, would it be possible to have a few days down time and have a more normal game using Harvest Moon with the same group? That way people wouldn't possibly feel "cheated". Just throwing it out there to see what you and others think.

In. As for the mafia choices, some of them seem to depend on how many people sign up. But all three seem promising.

I wonder how Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury will end up saleswise compared to other 3D Marios. Looks like it may sell more than would be expected for such a release.

Little Nightmares II has really blown up. I guess the first game was really well-received for the sequel to hit the ground running as it did.

Gotta love the Switch record-streak continuing. It's broken the 360's record by a good margin now.

I seem to have become the benefit man. Now this shady character with shades, King Gong, wants me to do a benefit for a girl that got hit with a football. Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! "Oh. my nose!" indeed! Feels a bit of a step down from helping a hospital. Especially since I'm getting reports of malfeasance about that previous effort.

But I'll give this Gong guy one more chance. I managed to pull in one of the best rock bands ever! Well, actually just Vince Clarke, who was with them for a year. But, hey, a year of greatness is better than none at all! Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence

I'll guess 812,812.

My career may be on the upswing! Some character named Qui-Gon Khush wants me to do a benefit concert for a hospital. Usually you do this stuff to help buy some equipment or build a new wing onto the hospital. But apparently, this benefit is to build a new one from scratch! I feel honored that they asked me to get in on the ground floor. Little fuzzy on what happened to the old hospital. People act like it went up in smoke...

I was asked to do a cover song for this performance. Here's one for all the ladies! Mantronix - Got To Have Your Love
