Goofbash is a meet hosted by DrippingGoofball in Beaconsfield, a suburb of Montreal from June 15-22, 2011.

Attendance

1. DrippingGoofball - Canada (Quebec)
2. Minineko - Canada (Quebec)
3. Mina - Canada (Quebec) - Mina is a little pixie spring-loaded with nervous energy, second-guessing herself three times in every sentence! Except when she sings, Mina sings like an angel.
4. Faraday - Ireland (Dublin) - A rock solid rule of thumb when playing face-to-face mafia, is to sheep Faraday when he tunnels on someone anytime between 0-60 seconds from game start. He lifts his chin, decisively looks at everyone's face, and makes a decision - or ships this stage altogether. Reads beyond the first minute begin to lose accuracy, and a lack of strong early reads suggests reluctance to bus. Game for spontaneous fakeclaims, townies be vigilant!
5. dramonic - Canada (Quebec) - dram is a magical mod with sparkling ad libs. He sits on chairs not like us humans, but like an innocent woodland elf squatting on his favorite mushroom. Surely he is immortal.
6. Albert B. Rampage - Canada (Quebec) - A genial gentleman oozing charisma, ABR surprises with being full of mischief inside. He's the game's happy-go-lucky trickster, and doesn't shy from silly gambits much to everyone's amusement, never mind that inconvient wincon.
7. Nikanor - Canada (Alberta) - Nikanor is a very helpful guest to have, the best kind. He plays a quiet game, then out of the blue will vote someone without a word looking like a crazed lunatic. The crazed lunatic voter look, quite disappointingly, is a null-tell. Being voted on by Nikanor is a very frightening experience. On the plus side, if he tunnels on scum, they have to NK him because he'll never let go, so that's win.
8. Katsuki - Canada (Vancouver) Katsuki looks exactly like his avatar, but with a little less icing. The epitome of IMPOSSIBLE TO READ. He either doesn't care, and just repeats that he's not scum (not always true!), or he cares and gets all passionate. Katsuki has care-tells.
9. Cogito Ergo Sum - Netherlands - Silent but deadly. Hammers scum in his sleep FOR REALZ. CES's best moments are the way he gets this little sly smile, turns to his neighbor, and convinces them to vote along with him while everyone is screaming, all done with a twisted sense of humor. He's like a Dutch hobbit, only human-sized.
10. TheButtonmen - Canada (Ontario) - Like a nazi, but in a non-negative way. He sits up straight, stands like an arrow, walks with straight legs, speaks firmly and directly, gives fiery speeches, very charismatic, with army-cut light hair and gray eyes. TBM enjoys proposing policy lynches as scum.
11. Fate - US - Fate is frustrated. Some players are scum. They need to die. Why is nobody listening? Look, let's just kill the scum. Someone hammer. Why won't anyone hammer this scum? He's scum. Someone hammer. Oh yes, I'm scum too but that's for later. Fate cannot be trusted! He's as devious as town as he is as scum, consider yourselves forewarned.
12. Ether - US (New Jersey) - A tall sprite with a big heart, Ether's friends are gods for which she endlessly creates myths in the form of scummer fanfic. She has such a big heart that her sworrn enemies are her friends too but they get no fanfic..
13. Kise - US - He is the Zen Master. When Kise speaks up with his small singsong voice, looking all around with his big all-knowing eyes, you know you are about to hear true wisdom, whether you are inquiring about the meaning of life, what the future holds, or if another player is scum - including himself.
14. Blackberry - US (Washington DC) - Appearances are deceiving - Blackberry is a fearsome scumhunter with complety ridiculous arguments and a very un-professional giggle. He is a big fan of The Mole and spent much time preparing a game for the group.
15. Patrick - England - Most convincing arguments. Patrick refuses to speak up unless he thinks he has something to say that he is confident will amaze the whole room. He scores every time. Brilliant as a townie, brilliant and sly as scum.
16. SensFan - Canada (Ontario) - Least convincing arguments with occasional flashes of brilliance that are lost in the tsunami of words. A+ for effort and anthusiasm. Always looks elated to pull a town role PM, and fights back tears with a scum role.
17. evilsnail - Netherlands, via Boston - Shy and understated in a big group, a really smart conversationalist one-on-one, so make sure to pick his brain to discuss who is scum, that's a great strategy. Even if evilsnail is scum. You'll never know he's scum anyway, unless POE points to him. Like a bird, he made his own little nest in the art studio upstairs.
18. chamber - Canada (Ontario) - We are soon expecting invitations to the marriage of Cousin Itt and Princess Zelda, to be held at Hyrule Castle. That is if Zelda likes chamber's naked pictures. He's a retiring player that looks very trustworthy, but when he looks up from the Gameboy, he's deadly accurate.
19. tanstalas - Canada (Ontario) - tans is an old soul, he is the rock of the game. He's too honest to lie, he is not able to fakeclaim. Quite easy to read, except when he isn't.

Dramonic's spaghetti sauce was delicious! Ether's BD was celebrated, and her much touted caramel matzoh shared with her favorite scummers. Much silliness was generated when we attempted to play Bad Idea Mafia, especially since dayvigging Mina before all the players' eyes were opened revealed her to be full of goony candies. SensFan watched game 7 with Cogito Ergo Sum who is a most unexpected fan of Canadian teams.

Nikanor acted as Master Deep-Fryer for homemade egg rolls. Fresh baguette and chili for supper, yum. Through some devious trickery by SensFan, DrippingGoofball's 100% accurate 10-second read of his alignment was broken at last.

Un-named persons are too lazy to put their rubbish in the garbage: candy wrappers, empty freezies, shopping bags, paper plates...

People need to stop playing Karoake... ^_^ -Blackberry

The Bailey's cheesecake is defrosting in the refrigerator! Some scummers mistook sunrise for sundown. Cherry pie, spaghetti, pea soup.

Many varieties of setups were played out to everyone's delight.

Someone removed the batteries from DrippingGoofball's TV remote. And another someone left two giant empty bottles of beer on the counter, and another bottle in the bathroom. Blackberry gets a gold star for helping tidying things up in the wee hours of the night. It's interesting how emptied ice cube trays are left on the counter instead of being refilled with water and returned to the freezer.

Chesskid3 has boldly challenged Patrick to a chess game. Should he emerge victorious, chesskid3 will turn 21 immediately. Should he be humiliated, he will revert to being 12. The stakes have never been higher. We are awaiting a convenient time for the duel.

Dominion is a popular card game with Mina, Patrick and others. SensFan is now a fan of the Friends and Enemies setup (6 townies, 3 masons, 3 goons). Fate is the fastest thinking gambit-maker ever. You haven't played mafia until you've played with Fate. It looked hopeless at first, but dramonic seems to have found a rather accurate scumdar, he must have paid good money for that machine. This doesn't prevent the fact he was outed as Mason on day 1 of a game and wasn't nightkilled before night 3 because he lost most of his town credibility tunneling the wrong players.

It is noted that the garbage can and glass of water that was placed outdoors for the alcohol poisoning victims were not brought back in indoors by said victims and the bathroom upstairs is now devoid of a trash bin. Making matters more upsetting, said can was full of vomit that poor DrippingGoofball had to dispose of without doubling the quantity with her own contribution. When a roll of toilet paper has run out, it's always good form to take one of the new ones conveniently placed on top of the toilet and replace it, instead of just hoping the next sucker is going to be stuck with that huge job.

TheButtonmen, SensFan, and tanstalas have been just awesome, good feelings and all.

DrippingGoofball hid the cookies that Cogito Ergo Sum brought her from the Netherlands from view because they are just like Ether's caramel matzoh, only better. They consist of two wafflee cookies with caramel in between. She's keeping them all for herself. That was a really awesome thought from Cogito Ergo Sum. Many thanks. Since good things are usually followed by more good things, she tried the chocolates evilsnail brought from Boston's LA Burdick shop. She broke a seal of golden wax, pulled the ribbon away, slid the cover of the handsome wooden box expecting to find 4 pieces, but instead, finding an assortment of a dozen miniatures. She picked the one decorated with a dried cherry that was in the middle, and now considers Godiva to be complete trash. These are perhaps the best artisanal chocolates ever tasted. Thank you evilsnail!

Patrick has volunteered to mod a Goofbash invitational.

Dramonic lead most of the group on a walk around Montreal. By the end of the tour, the tour had become a large theme called Dram's Death March Mafia. The only two players still standing are Faraday and Nikanor. Special mention to Mina for replacing in for Blackberry who randomly flaked when he said he wouldn't replace out. More to come later.

PLACEHOLDER - Some scummers went downtown today - please fill this in if you were there! Some came back earlier and we had many rounds of hilarious vengefuls.

After said downtown adventures, Fate learns that he still can't live to D2 as scum when playing in a game with Katsuki town at Goofbash.

SensFan left us this morning, we will miss his enthusiasm.

Blackberry set up this super-complicated MOLE game for us and even threw in a $50 dollar prize that he stole from his blind granny's purse.

Thank you for picking up after yourself, that's a big help.

Another karaoke evening, this time we have videos. We're still deciding whether to sell them or use them for blackmail.

Today was the Upick festival with both Mina's hilariously flavorful setup, and dramonic's... dramonic's setup was just as complicated as his online ones. Dramonic is a veritable action-processing machine, he resolves 12.653,432 simultaneous actions without breaking a sweat.

Five AM in the morning, scummers are still playing mafia games (Friends and Enemies) from the previous night.

With so many players, we always have a chance to play face-to-face's favorite setup, Friends and Enemies: three masons, three goons, six townies. This setup always generates a lot of discussion and is well-balanced.

Some of us visited the Biodome, ate Chinese food and went to a karaoke bar, while the rest relaxed and later went for Korean.
