I still have my shot left to use. Mafia has their kill. All we need to do is lynch town and we can joint win. Sure town can stall but we will still win since we have 2x kills tn
If Wylted dies, you'd have to choose which single agility to use. Not that you'll be able to.

I oddly had a feeling about you last day phase...

As for this tactic, it is just so far out of character for you to be faking it. If you are, you deserve the win!


Anyone with a role they can use to prevent Supa from doing anything should use it on him during NP2.
I'll see what I can do.

Eliminating Affirmative Action will Improve Race Relations Long-Term

@bmdrocks21
Affirmative Action if blindly followed indefinitely, sets itself on the slippery slope towards the very problems it hopes to combat.

At the same time, people with generational disadvantages, should be given a leg up to assist them in opportunity to enter various fields. A not so complex way to do this, would be free state college for the top students at any highschool.

You can still troll. You can proclaim Kim to be the God Emperor from Warhammer 40k. I’m just asking that you tone down the talk of millions or billions of real people dying as a good thing, because it was making people uncomfortable and the CoC puts slight limits on hate speech (not that I think you were serious).

South Africa? I dont see why US shouldnt nuke it before US nukes itself.

You have 400 nukes? Thats enough to nuke Africa and America. The Russia can nuke Europe and then itself.

China can nuke Australia.

So after the nuclear suicide by the rest of the world, only North Korea should remain.

Then the world will be perfect.
Please reign in your nationalistic based pro-genocide talk. I get that you're trying to be edgy, but there are limits on this site.

scum slips are a weird concept, because the vast majority prove to not be scum. that said, AOTBE, it’s target someone with a +5% chance of being scum, or end the day on no lynch.

Moderators commonly end up in the scum pile, so decent chance of whiteflame, SupaDudz, or myself being scum. As we start dying, I suggest looking to those who remain.

Supa should vig someone tonight (don't say who until morning), on the basis of the Monty Hall calculations. Plus two night kills would strongly imply he's not scum (letting scum kill multiple people per night would seem to be a bastard setup). 

I dislike the Batman claim, as he's not a villain; and the other third party is. I do wonder if the claimed mod kill happens in addition to the lynch or instead of it.

...

Is anyone here a hero other than Batman? I will say that I am a villain, and I assume everyone else to be. ... I'd still like colors too, to limit fake claims later.

As much as new players are statistically more likely to be mafia, they’re not falling for the ‘tell us about the mafia team discord’ so I think we should look for other leads.

That said, to keep the tradition alive:

since when does Spiderman have green
During the Spider-Man international era, his logo had a green glow around it. And during the current one when he’s working for Osborn, there’s a good amount of green on his costume.

It’s covered in green question marks!

Kidding.

I will neither confirm nor deny your theory that I’m the riddler.

I will however say it’s more than just green ascents (Spider-Man sometimes has a touch of green on his costume, but clearly everyone thinks blue and red for him).

People will inevitably pressure you into it, but it'd be an error to offer it up immediately. If you're a power role, then you tell scum to target you; and if you're not, then you help zero scum in on those who are.

some third parties have the goal of being recruited. So dangerous to wholly trust them. Also seems weird that Joker would have the goal of survive instead of kill Batman.

That said, I really don’t mind if a third party comes in first place. I don’t view that as town losing, so long as the game continues.

I would appreciate it if everyone gave a costume clue, to box in any potential fake claims later. Color gives very little away, but would serve this well.

Also anyone have any obscene characters? Not asking for the character reveal, just if it’s lesser known.

@K_Michael
Fun fact: if you shoot a guy who has taken a lethal dose of a drug before the drug kills him, you are still a murderer.
Regardless of drugs in the body, if you shoot a guy or strangle a guy and he dies, it's a wholly fallacious claim that those two things are related. That you inflicted fatal injuries and he just so happened to die, is a mere correlation, and correlation doesn't equal causation!

@Vici
I don't need to cite another debater to prove that you have mediocre analysis abilities. we start by assuming you are not good (chaos state) and then you provided four debates to prove you have good analysis and then I debunked them, hence putting you back into the starting point of not good. I don't need to cite people who have better analysis than you though I easily can (mr Chris, novice by a long shot, bones, whiteflames)
In the chaos state Chris, Novice, Bones, and Whiteflame, are all inferior at analysis to the debaters I defeated for having zero analysis ability shown.

At best your first standard shows that I am merely 3th place out of the 636, and to even then you chose to directly include cherry-picked data from DDO to make that conclusion.

Your second standard of good analysis abilities showed me to be the best on the site (within the evidence presented for consideration).

Your third standard of outside the site has me using debating to save dozens of lives. So anyone which agrees that the scope is beyond this site, would have to be anti-ethical to side with you.

And within your forth standard of never forfeits, I was proven to have zero forfeits; setting me above many of the debaters you listed along with the vast majority of the site (again, you insisted that forfeiting counts as debating, making people who full forfeit and never debate again part of the pool of comparison).


I dropped the fact that people emulated your style frankly because I ran out of words and there are far more important factors to address.
Dropping that my analysis is so good that the people you consider good are good for copying me... There's a host of ways you could have mitigated this, but you did not; leaving my stellar analysis abilities that you insist defines a good debater unchallenged.

Since I did not link my profile, you should really take the time to read the debate sometime.

I won source points for an overwhelming amount of evidence in comparison to you. If in doubt, compare the analysis examples of me verses anyone on your list.

Barney just source spammed the debate
Simply untrue.

To raise the debate above mere assertions or voting based on who the voter like, evidence was needed for voters to weigh. Further, unlike Vici, I did not base any of my evidence on DDO; but rather positive contributions on this site and beyond.

Take my saving lives using my debate skills as an example. One source was to show this is longstanding knowledge, and another to show the death rates I did something about.

One thing Vici and I agree on is that good debaters are good an analysis; therefore I presented samples of my analysis ability to be compared to any others she could have offered. It was give actual examples, or just treat my skill level as a truism and not really argue it.

P.S.: When I found a vote in my favor to be lacking, I politely informed the voter of the error and pushed for it to be removed. I have not reported any votes against me (I very rarely do).

I don't believe they thought I would accept, and there's still a major quality difference.
