Barf Badge Granted: Matraxis Vile

"Here's an old photo of me in front of the Cleveland Prince Hall Masonic Temple not long before arsonists supposedly burnt it down in May 2010. The place had been abandoned and we were thinking it would have been a kewl place to do a dungeon crawl, particularly with all the rumors surrounding what was being stored there and why the Masons mysteriously abandoned it in 2004. Their story was that the building was in need of repair - a brick building that the masons couldn't repair? That's rich. The police and FD were quick to stamp a label of arson on the blaze but nobody human was ever charged in this and the matter was quietly dropped soon afterwards. Make of that what you will."




Let’s see how Matraxis did here:

You picked a Masonic Temple, which makes it interesting to begin with. It is in Cleveland, but I can’t quite decide whether that should give extra points or take a few off, so we’ll call that even. A building that the Masons couldn’t repair? Nice! Arson? Nice! Unknown historic artifacts? Nice! But I can’t help but feel that it was just a walk-on or extra in the background of the stage that is the End of the World, instead of being one of the stars, or co-stars, or even gaffer, if you know what I mean. So overall, I’ll give it 17/25.

Now that we’ve established that Masonic Temples are interesting in general, no one else can submit a Masonic Temple for this badge.
