i would rather not give away the specifics of how it works, except to say the doctor should not protect me.
Why be so reserved about this? You've been forthcoming about everything else.

Looks like irontoaster has a... diverse JOAT role. Based on the conversation that has gone on over it, I can at least understand where some of those elements are coming from, but it's surprising to have someone who is a Cop and a Poisoner. Just a weird fusion of roles. The Bomb makes some sense as a passive role that could deter a scum NK, and I could see how each of these could work (the Cop if I squint) with the Pressure Plate claim. Anyway, while I'm not sure what to make of it, fake claiming a Cop up front would be ballsy, so he'd have to know there is no Cop in the game to do this. Can't see much chance that he's scum.
Mod handed out fake claims and won't disclose how many. Could well know there is no cop in the game.
Could be a full transparency bluff, but then again the "I knew my character could seem sus so revealed straight away" logic could work... Idk, I don't trust my own judgment yet and why the fuck are there so many roles to learn.

Welcome to the game. Sorry Mikal gave away that youre scum DP1 of your first game.
The crazyspecific infodump + finger pointing seems kind of sus to me, but I'm new at this. Idk, I'd probably VTL you, but I'mma defer to Mikal's experience. He's the veteran.

Thanks for the welcome and for letting a newb play. It's a lot to take in, and I don't have much experience with you all to base reads on. Appreciate the help from Mikal.

Never saw that ep. Nice one. Though House got me thinking he really did send them to sabotage and just retconned it as a teachable moment

Another bathroom spider was waiting for me yesterday. Right beside the shower drain. Legs splayed. Still as the night. Laying in wait for my naked flesh. Like a fool I disrobed before stepping in. Stupid. Stupid. Remain fully clothed, pull back shower curtain, check, always check. The enemy is cunning. The enemy is relentless. The enemy could get water in so many places, but chooses this, the place of our vulnerability, our safe space, the bathroom, to find its hydration. Why? Terror. To sow terror. We must be vigilant. Always vigilant.

If you're not into "brilliant asshole is only one who can save the day" shows it's not for you.
It's not an inherently bad premise, I suppose, but I only really enjoy them when someone regularly stands up to the brilliant asshole and calls them on their shit. People often let House kind of walk all over them and it pmo.

I'll bite. Why is not praying the most horrible thing. More horrible than say blowing up an orphanage.God hates the most those who dont pray. This is common knowledge in many religions, including Meowism. If you are an atheist, your good deeds basically dont matter. In God's eyes, atheists are the worst people on Earth.
I mean, I can't speak for Meowism, but Matthew 25:31-46 seems to indicate good deeds matter a lot.

1 is the only one that will look nice scaled down. But I'm also not clear on what it's supposed to represent.The Fire of Discourse — Debate isn’t polite conversation; it’s a forge where weak ideas are burned away and strong ones are tempered. The flame is the crucible.

I'm against this. Seems weighted in favor of popularity and spectacle, and could quickly become a circus.

Agnosticism is always part of the equation of not knowing because it's a faith based epicenter.Nobody needs faith when they know what it is.
Is it always part of the equation? Many Christians have seen visions or heard voices of God -- they've had experiences they interpret as direct evidence. I don't think all Christians are agnostic.
They live their lives as if God is real, they tell their children God is real, they tell nonbelievers hell is real and they're going there. They think God is real. Not "hey isn't anything real with the power of imagination?" real, but really real.

@Mharman
I think it's fair to characterize his faith as a questing sort of faith, but from the video, it seemed to me that he grasped God as an advocate of social justice -- a champion of the hungry, the sick, the poor, etc. "When we see them, we see God and God's work" or whatever he said.

Q1: Do you believe in God?
A: Yes. Now I have no way of knowing whether God is "really real" or an idea constructed by humans, but I feel God's love and presence. And I have to confess, I'm not really concerned about questions of God's "realness" because all kinds of human constructed ideas become real by virtue of shared belief, right. Like human rights. So whether God exists independent of human consciousness is not a super important question for me.

Saw an interesting video from John Green where he answers questions about his Christianity. Since they were atypical answers, thought I'd share, since we don't often discuss Christian perspectives like his. (John Green is an internet personality and author, wrote The Fault in Our Stars and some other books.)
For the click-lazy I'll be transcribing some of his answers.

Opinions on this song?
Not a huge fan of Weeknd but at least Blinding Lights got stuck in my head sometimes. This one is unremarkable imo.

@Stephen
Stephen! Welcome back.
The law of Moses commanded the execution of adulterers. The angry crowd wanted to test Jesus by seeing if he would go along with Mosaic law like an original gangsta. Would they have actually stoned her if Jesus had not been present, or was she just an opportunity to play gotcha on an upstart rabbi? Unanswered. Legally the Romans reserved authority to execute, but it wouldn't be the first time a mob got out of control. Well, I think the Sanhedrin had limited powers too...
This story wasn't even originally in John, so we must remember that as well.

Now treat yourself with great honesty on this.When asked direct questions, do you tend to evade especially when the answer that you should give will refute your point or points?
I try my best not to. No one likes to be wrong and I think it's human nature to resist admitting when your argument is the weaker one. I just try to remind myself that growth is better than winning.

Don't know what Rat did (can't find this supposed thread threatening to ban mafia players) but I imagine he'd try to go Super Saiyan pretty quick if given power.Rat went so Super Saiyan that his mod powers maxed out and went back to zero all in a split second.
I am so, so sorry I missed this.

It is in the same thread Mharman said what you dont believe he said.
So it was supposedly deleted. Why they gotta be deleting threads, don't they know I can't catch up on what tea was spilled if they do that.

I feel like there's a lot of Barney backstory I'm missing. I gotta stop going on hiatus.He had a lapse in judgment, promoted Ratman to mod. Then came to his senses and changed his mind.
So it was Barney. I thought it was David, since that seems to be the only staff member Rat still likes.
Thanks.
