I'm prolly ded next so I'll buy you a drink while ded

 
@Audi driver, P.E., I know I have a weird sense of humor, but this literally cracks me up.

All playing aside, I've just ran across a renovation job where a 20' tall exterior cmu bearing wall is out by 6" from top to bottom (in this case it's old clay masonry units). I specified some built up plate columns to go in the wall and wrap the cut masonry corners due to the owner requesting new openings in the wall up to a 16'-0" height. With the columns now installed and plumbed, the existing wall is super obviously out about half my column width. Have any of you ran across something similar to this before? I've seen an inch or two but this thing is practically at a roof slope of 1/4" per foot.

Any ingenious ideas from you structural gangstas on how to cover something like this up? Currently, I'm almost to the point of either having a new foundation wall poured outboard of the existing and tapering new brick veneer in to hide this horrid condition or just having the contractor tear the existing wall down and install new material plumb. They've already removed about 60% of the wall anyway.

I don't fully understand wat you're saying but one would think they'd want the wall to be plumb? 

I feel like most fixes will be more labor intensive than replacing the wall but then you gotta shore up the roof and stuff 

 
I was prepared for this eventuality and pinned a note on the inside of my jacket that read,

Listen Townies, if I never see you again, I want you to know that I love you very much. I also buried 1,600 kilos of cocaine somewhere in the town - right next to the cure for blindness. Good luck.

 
Ok, Let’s play Mafia!

There are townsfolk, and Mafia members. Townsfolk are going to try to eliminate the Mafia before the Mafia eliminates them. The game ends when either all of the Mafia is eliminated (town wins), or there are fewer townsfolk than Mafia members (Mafia wins).

The Mafia members are going to privately tell me who they would like to eliminate during the night. I will reveal to everyone what happened the next morning.

During the day, everybody (townsfolk and Mafia) will publicly vote for a person to eliminate; I will eliminate the person with the most votes at the end of the day and reveal what their role was.

In addition to regular townsfolk and members of the Mafia, there is also a Doctor and a Cop. The Doctor can choose someone to “save” during the night; if they choose the same person the Mafia chose, then that player will escape elimination by the Mafia that night. The Cop can “investigate” players during the night.

The Mafia members know who each other are, but no one knows anyone else’s role except me. I have sent more specific instructions to the members of the Mafia, the Doctor, and the Cop. If you did not receive a PM from me, then you are a regular townsfolk.

You may use this thread to vote and post about the game. Anyone (playing or not playing, eliminated or not) can use this thread to speculate, discuss, accuse, or otherwise participate in the game; just please make sure to follow regular EB forum guidelines.

To vote on a person to eliminate, mention me (@ChebyshevII_PE) and tell me specifically that 1) you are voting and 2) the username of the person you are voting to eliminate. Please submit your votes by 6:00pm Pacific Time; I will count votes after that time as being for the next day.

Your vote only counts if you are playing and not yet eliminated. If there is a tie for most votes, I will pick one of the voted users at random. If there are no votes, I will pick a person at random (i.e. role will not matter) to eliminate; suffice it to say it’s in both groups’ best interest to vote for at least one person.

For reference, the players in this round are:

@RBHeadge PE kilt in night.  <<Did not know was Scottish>> Providence unknown.

@tj_PE

@NikR

@Roarbark

@AlmostSE

@vhab49_PE

@chart94

@JayKay0914  Lynched by townies. Was townie.

@leggo PE

If you have any questions, or you would like me to tell you which players are still standing, please let me know.

Good luck to all of you.
For reference. Because there are feet near the original post.  

 
Seven members left. The game is still going on so mafia<4

If there are 2 mafia:

There is at least one of the cop and doctor alive - possibly both. So 3-4 regular townies

Game goes on at least another 2 days, regardless of what happens tonight.

My former fellow townies need to pick at least one mafia correctly over the next two days, or the game is over.

If there are 3 mafia:

There is at least one of the cop and doctor alive - possibly both. So 2-3 regular townies.

Mafia wins tonight if: the town picks wrong, and the doctor (if alive) is unable to save a townie.

Townies should start looking at voting behavior and parsing posting language to pick the right person. - I'm not sure if I can do this while dead?

If alive, the cop needs to strongly consider when to start coordinating and sharing information, or this game will be over soon.
