She's not a prostitute, she's just dressed up like one for a cuff-and-walk-off. I prefer Roleblocker.

Just curious, how do you guys typically do F2F mafia setups? Are they all open? Or do you have some system for resolving night actions that doesn't let everyone know who has one.

Ours are open setups, and the first person to get lynched moderates night actions

The mod goes around and taps everyone on the shoulder, getting their target in the process. This can require a good memory.

See that's why we need an instruction booklet and sample setups to go with the cards.

It seems like there's a lot more to do in DC than can fit into one day.

Hmm. Would it be feasible to spend a night there? I'd imagine accommodations are crazy expensive, though. And it would only work either if everyone wanted to come or if one of Matt and Trollie really
didn't
want to come for some reason.

last time I spent a day in DC, I was there from like 10a - 5p. During that time I saw pretty much all of the National Art Gallery, and probably half of the Air and Space Museum. Also sat outside the Capitol building for awhile.

The time before that, spent pretty much the whole day by doing Lincoln Memorial -> Vietnam Memorial -> World War II Memorial -> Holocaust Museum.

There are literally like 40 things in DC to see and do: National Crime Museum, Library of Congress, Capitol, White House, Mount Vernon, Smithsonian (Air and Space, Natural History, Art, African-American History, American History, Portrait Gallery), The Washington Zoo, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument, National Spy Museum, Holocaust Museum, Ford's Theater, World War 2 Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, FDR Memorial, MLK Jr Memorial, Nationals games at Nationals Park. I'm sure I've forgotten something.

Alot of this stuff is near each other. Except Mount Vernon's way the fuck off in the middle of nowhere.

I forget how much a room was last time I stayed the night, but I do know it was pricey.

I'd only go to DC if there's a dark, dank cave I can play f2f mafia in.

Baltimore has lots of free stuff to do too, though.

There's at least three or four different places that have free outdoor movie showings, for example. Arts festivals, free concerts, that kinda thing.

The Aquarium, Baltimore Zoo, Maryland Science Center, Baltimore Museum of Art, Walters Art Museum, Edgar Allan Poe's grave, there's probably at least one or two indy wrestling shows in the area during the time of the meet, etc etc.

what exactly do you think the Metro subway stations are? After dark, or even during the day, they literally look like the kind of place people would get murdered in. We can play F2F mafia in the subway station while hoping we don't witness anyone getting thrown to their deaths.

I've been in the Washington subway and it was fine!

Clearly we just need to theme F2F mafia around the DC trip and play it in the museums and such. And all go in costumes.

And ya, I r programmer. I even made an android app for my senior project. I hate programming for android, but its totally in my realm of things I can do.

iOS I'm a little less sure of, but I've heard its all C++ so I could figure it out if I had to.

I like Baltimore Zoo better than DC. Although I did watch an orangutan piss on the people walking under him at the DC zoo...that was funny.

As a former employee and someone who knows people that still work for Marriott (it's legal, Faraday), I can check on getting a 'family and friends' discount, but I'm pretty sure we can't just walk in the night of - it has to be reserved. Additionally, anyone who doesn't make it just has to cancel before your expected check-in time in order to avoid being charged.

Or, let's say the Marriott is too far from a bar you hang out at one night. Splitting a room for the night at another/closer hotel is an option as well. Just be sure to get a room with the pull-out sofa.
They have escaped into the mansion where they thought it was safe.
