Mafia Signups. Choose your own adventure.

Oh man, there's nothing in books that says the color of their skin other than it's NOT pale, they're NOT tall, and they don't have red hair.. if anything, given their choices, my beef is that the actor for Mat isn't dark enough

The cover art on the books all showed obvious white people. Also, red hair doesn't tend to show up on dark skinned people, and Rand had red hair. Pretty sure Elayne and Egwene were blonde.

Also, it definitely does talk about skin color when it's showing obvious contrast. Seanchan were all black people for instance, and it was specifically mentioned because others were not black. People from the south were also darker skinned than those from the north, sort of like an Italian has darker skin than a Norwegian. Books all state this pretty clearly actually.

Isn't Morgan Freeman in Shawshank Redemption? Why aren't we doing that?

I believe Seanchan were more Asian based on their strict honor system and more obviously being from across the ocean. Shara was more like Africa, tribal leaders and the outfits. Most cultures in the books were pretty easily to compare to modern cultures today.

We ain't talkin bout the seanchan, we talkin bout Edmonds fielders and no the books don't go into their color other than Rand distinctly didn't look like them and he was described as tall, pale, with red hair

One of the borderlands countries was described as looking Asian... did you just read the cliff notes or something?

Probably more like my own creations based on what I was reading I guess. I just always pictured it like that when I read the books a few times.

Assuming you mean Tarabon? I could see that also, I think I remember them cooking a lot of sweet and sour type dishes. Just assumed Seanchan with the whole empress thing, servants committing suicide due to failing their leaders. It has a lot of nods to older Japanese society. Also the curved blades which seemed more like Katanas plus the garb they wore.

Looks like Shawshank is winning currently.

Why do I have a NP by my name? I said Scooby-Doo as a theme!!! I know y'all probably won't go for it but kthx you could at least list it..

[Jessup]

PS I will keep you updated if I can commit or not. I'm maybe too burnt out and decided to quit TW today so a little sour at everything on this forum. Not at anyone here though. Beast I'm sorry too I was a jerk leaving that last clown emoticon. I'd like to bury the hatchet as they say with you and move on.

I already listed the three I'm willing to host because I am familiar enough with the subject matter to make good roles and a fun game. Sorry I can't have unlimited topic choices, or time to research an entirely new topic. I have more time than normal right now due to the O&G field being dead but still spend the majority of my time with my kids and wife who are home also.

[Jessup]

ok , well i've seen Shawshank so would rather that personally

[kthx]

sdrawkcab you really out if it's not WoT? Looks like its gonna be SSR. Probably closing signups Sunday and starting Tuesday or Wednesday

[the_paul]

I can change to WoT if it matters. I have no idea what that is but backwards seemed really excited about it

[Beast]

CAN I BE PERIN OR MATT PLS?
