> Meeting an EM Member….IRL!
How did you meet on EM?
Jade: in a game obviously
Anti: I think the first time we really talked was when I told Jade she was one of the cutest girls on EM. That was probably around six months ago
Jade: but we weren't very friendly at first! until you told me that
Anti: no we didnt really get along at first iirc
How did you decide to meet IRL?
Jade: i dont even remember what or who brought up meeting irl, tbh. i just remember being like sureeee ill come to cmu, why not?
Anti: yeah we were talking on Skype and Jade said that she was bored with life and wanted to do something crazy. I suggested coming to CMU for a weekend and she went for it
What’s it like to meet someone you originally met online for the first time IRL?
Anti: I think she was a little nervous at first. We talked for a couple hours on the ride back to CMU after I picked her up at the bus stop and we got along really well though
Jade: typically you think it would be super awkward and you kinda freak out (at least i did beforehand, i know anti says differently because he's so "easy going" lal) because what if you absolutely cant stand that other person and you're stuck with them for however long. haha but i dunno. i was strangely comfortable.
What did you do each time you met up?
Anti: Well when Jade came to CMU I introduced her to my roommates/friends and then we went out to a house party. We also took a walk around campus and watched a couple movies together before going out to Main St to scout out parties the next night
Jade: Anti showed up at my doorstep and said "you won't believe what happened to my car!" and I'm like "wut". yeahhhh. he got it stuck somehow and we put off getting it out until about 5 minutes before he needed to leave. while he was here, i turned him into a good ole country boy and took him to a bonfire and on a quad ride. oh, and made him listen to country music. LAL.
What is your one favorite thing about the other person?
Anti: She knows how to make me laugh. And I know it sounds cliche, but her eyes. Which one gets me the most points?
Jade: he's so tall! hahahahaha but seriously, he just seems super honest and i have loads of fun when im with him. :)

Member of the week: Kevin!
1) When did you join EM and how long have you been playing?
I joined EM around November 2012, a few of my friends from another game called Transformice told me about it and I found it really fun!
2) What is your favorite setup to play?
Hollywood Illusions! It's always fun to see how actress and illusionist send out codes, and how the bleeder leads the town to victory. Although it sucks how the bleeder's vote doesn't count so maf can blitz.
3) What do you like to do in your spare time?
Well when I'm not on EM, I'm either on Netflix or slaying zombies on Left 4 Dead.
4) What is your favorite role?
The Virgin because when she dies everyone stops killing in order to pay tribute to a pure lost soul that has been sacrificed ;(
5) Do you like playing mafia or town better and why?
I love playing as town, not as much pressure as there is when you're mafia :)
6) If you were given one million dollars, how would you spend it?
GAH, everytime I'm asked this I forget what I say last time I answered! I would save about 250k for myself for the future. 100k for both of my silblings. 250k for my lovely mother. 200k would go to several charities. 50k to two of my close friends. And last, 150k would be for me to go travel the world (With my friends, of course)!

Setup: Janitorial 2
http://www.epicmafia.com/game/1949117/review
This is another one of JAN2.0-pranay-maf-classic. imKira is pissed he flipped mafia but ling and pranay are happy they get to have fun as the informed part of the town. Pranay is way too confident that his NK will work or may be he doesn't feel like killing anyone on that table. He devises a bus strategy and is too confident he can predict everything. Eloquence feels he is saved and that makes him think that neither pranay nor ling would be one of the mafioso. Pranay guilties his nilla and nobody cares what cyrus(real cop) says. Pranay is mad his own lawyer is stalling the lynch and says "ImKira hammer it nobody is changing." ImKira says it is mafia autowin when he flips miller and hammers it elegantly voting his janitor.Pranay is too confident ling will win it as solo mafia and decides to go head to head with the cop on day2. Cyrus rechecks his night one inno because the lawyer is dead. Meanwhile, Eloquence townreads cultedpuppy and marks him as blue. The oracle dies and CultedPuppy is naked. Mafioso take the risk not killing cop where it can be autoloss if ling is checked. XDrake is mad pranay gave his cop report on him and while he was the doctor. Cyrus is mad he is getting lynched as real cop because mafia bussed their lawyer. Eloquence is double cleared as cop's inno and the doc save. Ling mocks pranay that his NK didn't work. Day3 janitor is lynched. While being lynched, Pranay does his trademark wifom by instructing his mafia partner who to kill which might help because he wouldn't instruct a partner like ling. Ling decides to have fun and kills the naked. Since the oracle was janned people forgot the oracle is dead. Ling troll claims oracle out of nowhere and everybody self votes for him to hammer. Then ling decides to slowroll a bit. Ling mocks the entire town and especially Eloquence with his encoded sarcasm and hammers the cop's inno and the doc save. This was surely a fun game for everybody involved, especially ling.
