I haven't seen anyone use the sympathizer effectively for anything. Basically it's just a turn in the brig and limited actions thereafter. It can't happen until the midpoint of the game, so there's that.
I hear there's an 'official' variant where there's no sympathiser and the humans simply start our with lower resources to balance it out. At the moment I'm inclined to try it out that way - especially for a first play, I don't want anyone to feel stuck with a second-best option.
So I was checking out my (58 year old) cousin's profile on FaceBook. She listed under interests "RPG video games". So I clicked it.
Imagine my amusement that omnis was the first person listed.
I won at Munchkin! Twice!
Polter-Cow, me. It's so simple and gloriously designed it's, well, glorious.
I spent all night playing it. There was a lot of "This is IMPOSSIBLE!!!" followed by "My my, that was a clever puzzle."
Imagine my amusement that omnis was the first person listed.
Huh what? I'm listed where? Do I know your cousin? So confused.
She clicked on the RPG video games link on her cousin's FB profile. That finds other people you may know who are also interested in whatever.
You were first.
My Xbox360 is randomly freezing. One time it showed three rings of red, but just that once. Tech supports answer: unplug all cables and hard drive for an hour. Reconnect. If problem persists, call back. I guess 1 hour is the time it takes to cool down, even thought I told him it's cool, as I had just tried to power it up when it made strange sound and frooze.

I think an hour is when he gets off his shift and someone else has to take the call the next time.
That's fine with me, he sounded like a trainee.
