"Damn." A trio of pitiful sqeaks can be heard originating from...the heavens, somewhere, probably. "I understand Anthraxus' decision, though not this early into our fight against the trolls. Unfortunately, I was not a troll either. Indeed, Gryphon and I were mod and CYStian. The pool of legitimate voters is shrinking. Please take great caution."

Man this was a wild weekend to miss. Congrats Stargirl!

So this was meant to be a reply to Enter but I also meant to make my own list of recs anyway so fuck it I'm replying here. I figured it was lame to beg other people for recommendations but not also give my own. What I've been listening to this week: Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath - I was a major metalhead when I was younger, and even if I don't have as strong an affinity for the genre now, I'll always respect Ozzy's Sabbath stuff. Outside its fire ass self-titled intro, this album is seriously kind of funky and has a diverse sound to it. Exuma, the Obeah Man by Exuma - I was reminded of this album this week and decided to give it another listen. I can't say I have Bahamian folk music in my daily rotation but Exuma made quite a banger here. Live. Love. A$AP by A$AP Rocky - I love a nice, head-empty rap record. This is a fun one for working out or driving around with some friends. Four-Calendar Cafe by Cocteau Twins - One of my favorite albums by one of my favorite artists. I have a major soft spot for dreampop so this was an instant love for me when I first heard it, if you're into that kind of stuff then give this one a try. Songs for the Deaf and ...Like Clockwork by Queens of the Stone Age - I didn't listen to both of these in full this week or anything, but songs from both leaked into my daily mix and I fucked with them heavy. Good accompaniment for working out and driving. I should get into QotSA more, was a bigger fan a few years ago than now. And finally I'm going to second Liminal's recommendation of Lady Lamb because I listened to Ripely Pine and had a lot of fun with it.

The only thing I've gleaned from this thread is that Blister is going to have the time of his life rebelliously experimenting in college.

The three mice scurry over to the Parlor Room to squeak indistinctly about interactive fiction.

Happy birthday Mizal! Glory to your reign as one of the Supreme Leaders of CYStia.

For the first time, the three mice seem to chatter amongst themselves. The horror of finding the man-thing unresponsive shook them at first, but now they are back to stuffing themselves full via the English breakfast spread. "As the others said, it wouldn't make sense for the trolls to go after themselves this early in the game, nor do I think Milton would kill himself (hopefully). He might be a reliable asset in figuring out the perpetrators, and it keeps the ratio of civilians to trolls higher. I think it's best to revive Milton." The mice look at each other as they listen to the exchange between Shadow and Blister. They squeak indistinctly to one another before they turn to address the crowd again. "There isn't any evidence that's too damning towards any one person in the forums, but based on what we've seen, Blister may be the closest to a guilty verdict we may have. I say we vote out Blister."
