And yes, with Speedrace as a dreamer, assuming he is town, I assume mafia would not fake claim their characters as it would be a needless gambit.

Doing a little role analysis...
  • Speedrace as a dreamer, his character does spirit magic. Ok.
  • Pie as a vig, his character fights alone. The justification sounds lifted so straight from the wiki I distrust it.
  • Ragnar as a ???, without any justification given. Fucking scum, ??? isn't even a role in mafia!
  • Water as a redirector, I can't remember the justification, but the character has massive distracting breasts as a key characteristic. Ok.
  • User as vanilla, due to the character liking ice cream and choosing love... I don't buy this at all. Even more so when the character is apparently known for stealth.

VTL That1User.

@Speedrace
Ragnar is typically much more active as scum, and That1 claimed, hence my vote on drafter
I did start a full time gig working graveyards, so my activity level isn’t determined by my interest, but by the constraints in my available time.

Still, I suppose were I scum I’d make a greater effort to hop on right faster work each morning to coordinate and such (as I did in the mason team last game, but days went too insanely fast for me to post much).

Small point on the WP is scum hypothesis: With this many players replaced, decent odds one of us is a scum, leaving the other scum without anyone to get advice from yesterday... That said, him revealing himself happened today, when said problem is gone.

I say this partly because it applies to anyone as scum in DP1 and NP1.

A few reasons...
  1. Even you admit your role justification is shit. Honestly, it lines up better with third party than vig.
  2. Victims of redirect do not usually get told outright. Similarly, nothing about that bus driver description implies they would be given a redirect notification... Just imagine if a cop investigated you, and were told: 'Not guilty, but your investigation was redirected.' I would even dare to say, telling everyone any time it happens, would defeat much of the purpose of that role.
  3. With multiple NKs last night (three unless I'm mistaken?), you insist "it had to be Croc and Speed." Which to me reads like a rehearsed story you decided upon. Further, if it had to be a "bus driver" but your PM said "redirected" why would you assume a bus driver specifically?

Damn those were fast day phases. For one of them that I missed, it was a tactical decision as Drafter went ahead and posted my cop information, and I did not want to be active right after that hinting at the team.

Here is the message I wrote (followed by an updated dashboard, which I'm excluding):
Bad timing for the start of a day. I literally have to stuff a hot dog down my piehole, take the dog out, and head to work... Substitute "Speedrace" in for that, and it gets really weird.

Sucks that we lost pie, given his abilities (honestly, I kind of thought Speed would turn out to have such powers given how all purpose dogs are). It does lend credence to the idea that scum has a role cop, given that he was forever sus as a miller.

The design was never intended to be perfect as first produced. Perfection is a process of continuous improvement, not perfectin at the outset.
While in conventional system design I'll wholly agree with you, but not when trying to conclude thosed frequent mistakes are the work of an all knowing, all powerful being, and lastly all good being.

If we assume a creator who is not all knowing, the frequent mistakes on the path to continual improvement holds up... Or if we assume one who is not all powerful, since the seeming mistakes could be unavoidable within those limits... or if we assume one who is not all good, since all good logically contradicts frequently bad... Remove any of those three key attributes from God, and sure intelligent but flawed or uncaring design; with those attributes in place, ID doesn't make sense.

I’ve seen enough miracles which are better explained by God than random chance and predetermination.

Granted, this is why I believe, not a declaration that others must believe.
Well that's interesting. How do you determine what constitutes a miracle?
Pretty much events with odd outcomes against what they conventionally should have been. This is of course a fairly open definition.

I will be the first to admit that this alone does not prove God with a capital G., but it is honestly where much of my faith originates.

Pre-existing conditions, including mostly poor consumption choices of parents are causing too many birth defects to ignore, specifically because they are preventable causes 
That makes perfect sense with random evolution, or even unintelligent design. When considering God, it doesn't seem to be an all good and all loving creator if he's like: 'you're so full of sin that you caused your grandparents to make bad eating choices, so I'm going to punish you with your whole life with a heart defect that might kill you even before you start sinning.'

I really am not familiar with Unintelligent design. It sounds like it accepts evolution. If UD accepts evolution, then I don't see any problem with it, however if UD denies evolution, then this is problematic for UD.

as for Intelligent design, since it denies evolution, it is very unlikely to be true.
Unintelligent Design is mainly a criticism to creation from a perfect creator (the evidence suggests if there's a creator, it is clearly not a perfect one), which as you can see from the hostility to the very notion of it, is rarely intelligently challenged.

If you ever want a primer on it, here's a pretty good article:

Also if you haven't already read it, you should definitely take the time to read this regarding attempts to teach religion in the science classes:

And yes, my earlier explanation about a drunk unintelligent creator, is paraphrased from the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

therefore various flaws like cancer, birth defects, etc.
Are such things really just a matter of random chance? The CDC says the 60% of cancer and diabetes cases could be prevented in the first place, and 80% of heart disease as well. Prevention by our choice of applying the notion of Genesis 2: 16, 17, wherein we are told that Adam could eat of every tree in the Garden, but that the choice to eat of the tree of knowledge would have a dire consequence; the only choice among all the fruit that had such a consequence. Add further Doctrine & Covenants 89: 1-21; a suggestion of healthy eating from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Compare these scriptures  to CDC's warning that prevention of the maladies noted could actually be prevented, just by making proper consumption choices. Smoking, drinking, drugs, fast food, prepared, manufactured food. All the food that is in the middle of virtually every grocery store. Their layouts are identical. All the fresh food, the food most full of nutrients, is around the outside rim. Al the processed foods are in the middle. Choose to eat from just the outside rim, and ignore the middle. Our choice. Who but us chooses to stuff what down the pie hole? Who knew that grocery stores could be as insidious as the tree of knowledge only because it is a matter of personal choice? I personally grow about 30% of the food I eat. A matter of choice.
While we can certainly take actions to increase or decrease our odds of certain illnesses, what possible choices does someone make which impact their rate of being born with birth defects?

This is of course part of the problem of evil.

It also shouldn't need to be said, but not all CoC violations are equal. There is also a reasonable person standard, and something called "context"... Let's use an analogy: a skinhead named Karen starts a fight, and oh the horror the horror, it doesn't go well for him. While physically he is uninjured, emotionally those evil people disregarded his safe space by disagreeing with his calls for genocide... When he goes crying to the police, they are unlikely to cater his precious Karen feelings by arresting everyone he dislikes.

Regarding a report of #1.

While this does seem to be a callout thread, the user targeted has recently explicitly endorsed callout threads via choosing to create them. The author of this thread being a victim of that, mitigates much of the usual issues; which combined with how minor of a callout thread this is (no actual insults in that first post, just some serious irony that the guy calling for ethnic cleansings was cleansed from the site; plus a link to a video showing undeniable valuable contributions from a group he wants exterminated).

I'm not sure I fully understand your question so forgive me. But intelligent design is the same as creationism insofar as they posit a superfluous designer (creator), to otherwise working models of reality. ID, in order to be considered at all, must show that there is a designer and that the designer is intelligent, both of which are impossible. 
While not a flawless hypothesis, half of those criticisms immediately go out the window when pondering unintelligent design.

Take cancer as an example: ID advocates insist random seeming occurrences of it are part of the intricate predetermined plan (the determinism bringing up questions of free will). Where with UD the creator lacks a plan, was probably drunk when designing humans (therefore various flaws like cancer, birth defects, etc.), and not that smart to begin with.

A key benefit to this over other hypotheses and theories, is of course that it is entertaining.

Are any of those flaws not addressed adequately by unintelligent design?

United States slaves were, overall, treated quite well
With the extreme racism shown by the original poster (such as claiming that enslaving a black person is little different than owning a dog), I am done attempting to interact here.

I suggests others learn from my mistake and likewise ignore the varelse.

This is precisely the hyperbolic nonsense that inspired me to write this thread.
You haven't demonstrated it to be nonsense, you've just bemoaned that it used ethics.


The fact is that slaves were treated better in the United States than anywhere else in the world,
You seem to have missed the key word: slave. Something being less awful, still does not magically make it good.


The American slaves would have been slaves had they stayed in Africa,
That fails in any way to absolve the choice of involvement, a choice which further incentivized slavers.


It's incredibly irresponsible to rattle off a source-less opinion piece that is so damning of something you've failed to demonstrate knowledge of. 
I have elsewhere on this site countless times. In a debate I would bring out my sources to support that bad is bad, torture is torture, and evil is evil. This isn't a formal debate. Plus you're ranting about lack of knowledge to one of the very rare people with first hand knowledge of the horrors of slavery...


I'd never condone slavery and it shouldn't exist in our civilised societies,
At least we agree on something. To me a society falls below the threshold of being civilized if slavery is legal and/or socially acceptable.


but that doesn't mean Africans were barbarically treated in the United States en masse. 
And as previously stated: "having your fingernails pulled out doesn't hurt nearly as much as you would imagine before it happens, yet that something is less awful, doesn't make it a positive"
