Quickfire Mod Sign-up List
Unpinned.

Quickfire does seem to be a good idea for some games, but I would estimate that it can easily be handled within the main sign up thread.

I'm not positive that's necessary with it already pinned, but voter turnout does feel lower than it was for the harder nomination process.

How small are your rating shifts from losses getting? Like type 1 has about a hundred losses, and is only roughly a 100 points below you.

My votes...

Debates
  1. Is Jesus the Messiah?
    While drilling down to one core issue, this was possibly the most in depth religious debate we’ve had. The educational value of this debate cannot be overstated.
  2. Resolved: The US should institute congressional term limits
    Bsh1's final debate. Incredibly close debate, and to this day I don't know how I would end up voting. Plus a truly relevant topic for affecting us all.
  3. Legalized Abortion (added 9/2)
    This is an odd one, since it offers no middle ground (all abortions legal, or all illegal... common sense says the issue at least a thousand times more complicated). Still, it was well argued, even making a feminist like me favor the con position.
    I will note that the Atheists BoP debate only trailed behind this one by the slightest of margins.

Threads
  1. I will stereotype debaters properly.
    It's just too much fun, and could be picked back up at any time.
  2. DART Bard, 1st Edition, 1/3/2020
    To me it reads like a sateric love letter to this community. I just wish there was a 2nd edition.
  3. Pure Lies (added 9/2)
    I have resisted voting for this for fear of doing such being misrepresented as bullying, but the thread is entertaining and perhaps insightful.

Misc.
If I understood them, I would probably be voting the enigmas.

  1. BrotherDThomas’ performance art
    Seriously, love him or hate him, BrotherDThomas is probably the highlight of the religious forum... Which probably confirms me as a pseudo-christian needing to be bible-slapped silly™ for talking about him instead of Jesus!
  2. Alpha Male
    I'm confident enough that I don't need to explain this.
  3. Rap Battles
    I've gone through periods where they annoy me, yet it's something so many users enjoy so it's worth celebrating.

Hall of Fame II
Voting Stage Rules
Welcome to DART’s second official Hall of Fame induction process! This thread is for the second stage of that process, namely, the voting stage. During this stage, users (you) may vote for the various nominees in each category (threads, debates, miscellaneous) for inclusion in the Hall of Fame. The three nominees with the most votes in each category will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
 
Any user will be able to vote for up to three nominees per category for a maximum of 9 votes per voting user. Voters may choose to vote for less than the maximum number if they choose. You may vote for any of the nominees who have advanced out of the nomination stage. The voting process will close at approximately 2:00pm, PST, on 09/02/20. Votes cast after the close of the process will not be considered.
 
When you vote, you are encouraged to offer a brief justification for, explanation of, or reason for your vote. Please also bold your votes to make them more visible. You are permitted to change your votes within reason.
 
Those nominees with the most votes (3 per category) will be inducted into the DART Hall of Fame. In the event of a tie preventing exactly 3 inductions per category, the voting window will be extended for just those tied nominees. Those inducted will be formally honored with entries in the Hall of Fame thread.
 
There are no prerequisites or eligibility requirements for users to participate in the Hall of Fame voting process, except that they have an account on DART and are not voting/nominating from more than one account. Importantly, please don’t engage in coordinated vote trading and such, as that would be incongruous.
 
 
Notice
Due to an overwhelming majority within the nomination stage, the user category shall not be voted on this year. If there arises disagreement with this ruling, then voting on users may occur.
 
 
The Nominees
Choose up to three from each category.

Ok, anyone care to suggest any other changes before it moves forward? I could ask the nominators for each thread to list a sentence for why it's a good candidate? I could also put them into alphabetical order?

Grey wasn't a major threat, as he could not track our ninja who did the NKs. He could maybe town confirm people, but in doing so would out power roles (or he could follow me, who was clearly a town RB, who was going to be honest about every block).

For users, there's an overwhelming margin of victory at almost three times the closest runner up, so if there's no objection we could just plug the top three into the HoF without further voting.

User
  • oromagi (13)
  • Ragnar (13)
  • SupaDudz (13)
  • bsh1 (5)

For debates, there's a sufficient spread, so anything with more than a single nomination moves forward into voting.

Debate

For threads, the difference of the most and least popular is too narrow. They all move forward.

Thread

Likewise for Misc.

Miscellaneous

There will be some other small refinements before the next stage of voting begins.

To be clear, this isn't about a villain being lynched. We accepted that the moment both Type1 turned out to be a hider, and had Grey followed me as planned. Three whole days to lynch Pie after that, which we were fine with.
So your entire strategy to win as mafia is to hope town has too many lazy or inactives to ever pull a lynch off? I think your time is better off re-evaluating your scum play then blaming the mod for a common extension. I encourage extensions even if they dont benefit me. I asked for one last day phase when I was still a likely lynch candidate lol
Literally the opposite of what I said.

We The Scummies resign. 

Unprecedented moderator interference in giving town a last minute bonus extension when they refused to lynch within the day phase, damaged the integrity of the game.

Victory should come from merit, not outside interference Deus Ex Machina. And while we hope we would have pulled off a victory anyway, it seems better to end the game early and move on to one untainted.

With Naruto being named "Number One Unpredictable," it is at least fitting that this game garnered an unpredictable ending.

I can always revise based on which way Pie flips. While the estimated 30% chance he's scum is better than we have for anyone else, he's also been pretty useful to town, so I can imagine things going either way (yeah, I'll lynch off of likelihood without certainty).

I in part asked people for advice on the block to gather reads from their suggestions.

Anyway, I just ran a RNG with a seed from the first post this DP. Croc did not come up from it (I think I would veto it had he... As I've said before, I want to block someone who is reliably active enough to get up to something in the night).

Right now I am trusting Grey, and his investigations could prove useful if he guesses the right person.

I admit I have not properly considered Chris, he may very well be the best choice (if you'll pardon the pun).

If pie is scum, I doubt the scum team would have him do the killing again.

Pattern... The whole Croc amnesiac thing confused me (still a little worried he'll be eating a corpse), so he's a viable choice in case he's an arsonist priming people or something (worst case, I've blocked a vanilla, not costing us any power role for the night).

I just looked it up. It is a 33 minute drive from Antioch, IL (Kyle’s hometown) and Kenosha, WI.

I think the distinction between states is rather arbitrary for this matter.
When I read descriptions about him fleeing across state lines, that is what I thought.

Granted, yes, he did cross state lines, but he also turned himself in. ... This isn't like O.J. Simpson having a disguise ready and leading police on a chase.

The lack of a mafia kill could also be that That1 waiver as I mentioned and scum chose to kill her rather than a Roleblock on me.

Town rarely has lots of stuff. We have claims of soldier and mimic (both so rare they are not listed on Mafiascum.net), and a confirmed "Strongarm Vengeful," plus a hider which is uncommon.

If not RBing, what are your guesses as to what I did to Pie?
