Hi, all! I'm Erin and you might remember me from such Mafia games as "Dammit That Jackass Was the Traitor All Along," and "Yakuza Sucks Part IV."

If you're not part of the EpicMafia crowd, then hello and nice to meet you! To Entranceway, I am bringing in Sam Tyler from BBC's Manchester cop drama Life on Mars, of which Sam is the protagonist. And also the look-alike of a certain better-known psycho alien.



In his canon, Sam gets hit by a car in 2006 and suddenly wakes up 1973, where aside from experiencing the 70's in all its politically incorrect sepia glory, he has to deal with everyone thinking he's crazy and seeing hallucinations from the "real world" on a regular basis. So, if your character sees Sam wandering around and yelling at technology or... anything, um. Yeah. He's sort of nuts. 8(

That said, Sam's an extremely clever and absolutely stubborn police officer. He's obsessed with doing things The Proper Way, so chances are that if he's involved in anything, he'll get his job done and do it exceptionally. Unless he disagrees with you, then he'll screw it up horribly.

Please feel free to add me at LaCidiana or on AIM as watchmodder! I've already gotten a taste of how awesome all you Eway folk are through Maf and I'm thrilled to play with all of you. :D

Hello, Erin! I'm Megan and I play Lena Duchannes from the YA novel series: The Caster Chronicles. Welcome to the game!

[lawman]

Hello there! Thank you -- I'm very happy to be here and I look forward to playing! ;u;

[idolises]

The Yakuza is sort of sorry

[lawman]

It's okay, he sort of deserved it. MAN THAT WAS FUN

[idolises]

LET'S DO IT AGAIN

[lawman]

YES PLEASE

[disparage]

AHHHHH MR MELODRAMATIC IS HERE

yo erin, idk if you know me by name aside from the alisha in mafia but hi, i am jade, and i play caroline forbes from the vampire diaries and cordelia chase [tact] from buffyverse and i will honestly feel like an idiot if you know me and i just said all of this, but. i am excited to see sam, despite being so freaking canon blind.

yeah, i feel like an idiot. /throws self back into 1973!

[lawman]

YES HE IS I want to say that since he won't be in Murder Town he won't be quite so yell-y and gesture-y but then I remember what happens when he gets stuck in his jamjar of a canon and I'm like lmfao no hello mr. melodramatic my old friend i've come to whine with you again

I DID NOT KNOW THESE PLAYER THINGS ABOUT YOU AND NOW I AM HAPPY TO! I saw your character was "tact" and your mirror was "tactless" and thought that was the greatest thing ever omg... I am happy that you are happy to see Sam and I AM HAPPY TO SEE YOU IN TURN so excited to play with all you guys FO REALZ NGGGGHHhh.... ♥♥♥

[unregenerate]

Hi Erin! Welcome to eway. :D

I'm Steph and I run around with Meg (SPN), Aerith (FFVII) and Homura (PMMM). I've never actually watched Life of Mars, but I'm still excited to see you around. Nothing quite like a seemingly crazy cop patrolling the hallways. Just what the mansion needs, amirite?

Anyway, I'll be adding you on plurk - I'm violentwords

[lawman]

Hello there! I've actually heard Court mention you, so woohoo, nice to meet you! :D I'm a big Spn and FFVII fan, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye on those two, and thanks for welcoming my li'l semi-obscure whacked-out cop who will... yes, definitely be a great source of stability and sanity in this mansion, ffFFF.

Awesome, adding you back! Lookin' forward to playing with you. ♥

[surpassedentropy]

They are my favorite ladies to play, so I hope I don't disappoint! o7 I will be sure to throw everyone at Sam at some point, he'll be tickled pink to meet any one of my girls I'm sure. >:D

[lawman]

LMAO the hilarious thing is he genuinely tries to be a progressive pro-feminist type guy, and yet... yeah. Damsel in distress, he is so there.

EITHER WAY he tends to get along better with ladies better than with dudes, so YES. GIVE ME ALL THE GIRLS! \o/

[selfrespecting]

EW GET OUT

[selfrespecting]

nah dude I'm so excited for Sam and Martha stuff YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS fhdakljfde

[lawman]

HOW DARE U

[lawman]

...yes I am always exited for sam and martha AAAaaahhhhh lom/dw is my crossover otp u know dis kdjsglassdgjks I LOVE HOW YOUR FAV DW CHARACTER AND MY FAV ANYTHING CHARACTER FIT SO VERY VERY WELL~

[selfrespecting]

That's because we are meant to be. C:

WHEN/HOW DID YOU WANT THEM TO RUN INTO EACH OTHER.

[lawman]

I DON'T KNOW I GUESS EARLY ON? I'd rather it be Martha who made him aware of his possible alternate existence as a family-imprisoning mass-murdering time lord than anyone else uguuuu chinhands......

IDK COURT HOW DO I INTRO HIM TELL ME i should make a plurk huh

[selfrespecting]

AS IT SHOULD BE TBH. She will flip the fuck out, HAHAHA...

Well, you have a few different options! With Martha, for instance, I had her run into another new person in a log and then I also had her respond to a few other posts on the network before she made her own post.

With Cas, I also started off with a log and then I made an open post, but it was all face-to-face stuff with him flying around because he wouldn't use his phone first thing.

SO IT JUST KIND OF DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU THINK SAM WOULD DO. Would he broadcast something immediately, or would he poke around and talk to other people first? Or would he just set the phone aside at first and wander around?

[lawman]

YEEEeesss fuck-flipping.... MY FAVORITE KIND.

UHHHhhh I think he'd definitely be disoriented enough at first to just wander around before he actually checks what's in his damn pockets much like 1973 lmfao. Once he does, though, he'd probably check through all the recent posts but instead of replying to them make one of his own because he is just so subtle and humble like that. After making his post, hmmm, he might go meet one or two people who he deems "knowledgable enough" to get info from face-to-face, but from the most part he'd probably be squirrelly and distrustful of everyone and ask lots of questions while lecturing people as if he knows anything about what the fuck is going on. ...Again, like the canon HAHAHA.

SORRY JUST TRYING TO FIGURE THINGS OUT AS I TYPE THEM HAPHAZARDLY FFfff....

[selfrespecting]

In that case, maybe put up an open log post so that people could tag in there? You'll probably get a few hits, and he could meet people while he's wandering. Then have him make a network broadcast whenever you think it would make sense for him to? AND HAHAH YES being distrustful of everyone sounds about right. 8)

[lawman]

HMMMmm yes I think I shall go this route. Man I'm still not used to posting a log post and replying to multiple people but I SHOULD PROBABLY GET USED TO THAT HUH. So yes, good idea. AND THEN NETWORK and... stuff.

"Distrust" and "Sam Tyler" are basically synonymous ok. unless you are a woman in possible nebulous danger and then you can be trusted instantly.

[freewill]

You mean in terms of the timing? It does take some getting used to, I try to mentally order them in my head, but you're free to limit it to a certain number if you want!

MARTHA'S GOING TO BE THE ONLY LADY HE SIDE-EYES.

[lawman]

YEAH LIKE just that technically they all happen one after another but really you are writing them all at once so HOW DO YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE INFO FROM ONE THREAD IN ANOTHER ONE AND ARE THEY METAPHYSICALLY HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME EXCEPT NOT AND OPUOIPAYPDFYSDGWIU???

LMAOOO YES i mean he will definitely side-eye any lady worth side-eyeing, he just.... trusts that a girl might conceivably need his big strong policeman help way too easily HAHAHA sam u failure

[freewill]

YOU KIND OF JUST HAVE TO ROLL WITH IT sob. Don't think about it too hard and it kiiind of works itself out. I try to steer threads in different directions so that they don't all end up samey.

[pompous_today]

Welcome to the game, Erin~ I'm Shurimon and I just play Simon Tam from Firefly. Looking forward to seeing you and Sam around.

[lawman]

Yay, Simon! +_+ Big Firefly fan here. once tried to play jayne and FAILED. I look forward to seeing you around too!

[chloroformedthejanitor]

[chloroformedthejanitor]

[chloroformedthejanitor]

ALSO HI I'm Jessi, from such mafia games as "One time Sam Tyler Claimed Annie's Role and Got Her Killed Even Though She Was Innocent and He Was Actually Turncoat" and then the sequel "Annie Lynches Sam Tyler Not Caring If He's Actually Mafia" and then some other ones you know.

ANYWAY, I also play D'Artagnan from the three musketeers (2011 version, strangeboy) and Dr. Leonard McCoy from the Star Trek reboot (yougotnumbtongue). I'M EXCITED YOU JOINED YAYYY

My plurk is jessimond, and I don't think I ever added you, so I'll do that.

WELCOME!

[lawman]

LMAO the best part is that "Annie" is the name of Sam's most favoritest person ever in his canon ok lmao lmao lmao. U DICK. (And it's okay, an alternate title for that last game is "It's Okay Annie He Was Actually Mafia: A Laughtrack.")

IT'LL BE FUN to play with your characters and see how CR turns out without, y'know, the whole Murder Town setting. spoiler: he'll still be a self-righteous jackass, but maybe he'll hide it better. maybe. VERY HAPPY TO BE PLAYING WITH YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE and you have been PLURK-ADDED. Thank you and WOOHOO! ♥

[cheerleader]

WOW I AM SO LATE TO THIS BUT HI I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE, LET'S HOPE THAT THINGS GO BETTER IN EWAY THAN THEY DO IN MAFIA.


Also I wish Clara would be able to mistake him for a certain psycho alien, but alas.

[lawman]

YESYESYES I AM SO GLAD TO BE HERE WITH YOU AND OTHER BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE AND NO LET'S HOPE THEY DON'T GO BETTER BECAUSE SAM TYLER BEING MISERABLE IS THE BEST THING

I mean. Um.

And HEY, maybe she can, if you took her from after she jumps into the Doctor's timeline or... something? Idk what her canon point is... BUT TECHNICALLY SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE HIM AS HAROLD SAXON ANYWAY, RIGHT? I mean, she was alive during that period... unless you want to write it off as Moffat-insidious-retcon-time-crack-ate-everything-world. HMMMMMmmmmmm.......... IDK MAN. IDK....

[cheerleader]

No she's been canon updated to end of the season! But I don't want to overstep what she would've seen but MAYBE AN ECHO OF HERS HELPED THE DOCTOR OUT DURING MASTER SHENANIGANS. we can work something fun out one way or another, not that she'd be terrible to him in any case. She's too charming for that.

But no really I cannot express how excited I am for this because Sam and Claire are really the same person and they will just be the most unhealthy people for the other to associate with but it will happen and nothing will ever be more perfect in my life.

[lawman]

YEAH I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW IT WOULD BE A CONCERN OVERSTEPPING BOUNDARIES WHEN THE CANON LITERALLY TURNS YOUR CHARACTER INTO A GODMOD LMFAO. And yes, you can indeed go whichever way you want -- I will be happy to have Sam interact with charming Clara in any way you'd like uguuu~ AND SOON. 10 AND CLARA IN MAF. SOON.

YES claire's clinginess to older dudes and sam's overprotectiveness of younger ladies will be the most unhealthy thing along with them being horribly selfish people ~trying to do the right thing~ OH MY FUCKING GOD BRANDI I SWEAR TO SHIT I 100% HONEST-TO-GOD JUST TYPOED "RIGHT" AS "WRONG" JUST NOW THAT WAS THE BEST FREUDIAN SLIP OF MY GODDAMN LIFE HOLY FUCKALJHGDLIAKFA no really i went to fix it because i was like oh lol little typo backspace-backspace-replace and then i was like "wait it still has a 'w' it says 'wright' wait WHAT THE HELL HAVE I JUST DONE"
