I didn't not expect water to be an SK. I am not too surprised that F4 is. This makes sense though, F4 was under a lot more pressure because his targets were both likely to be lynched. WP did not have this worry so did not give off so many tells.

LYNCED is denomilisation of lynce, latin ablative singular of lynx. That is, eaten by a wildcat.
This explains the behavior of my my auto-correct I suppose...

There's a fairly sappy movie that has an interesting take on the subject known as "My Sister's Keeper."
Oh so this is apparently a thing that exists...
That's good. Always good to know that just when you think humanity can't get any more screwed up something like this comes up. Awesome.

In extreme cases definitely doctors. The problem of parents screwing their kids over medically extends far beyond anti-vaxers. They get a lot of time in the spotlight for various reasons but there are more extreme cases that hit the news occasionally when the media isn't too busy flipping out about some tweet from Trump or some celeberty dating some other celeberty. Things like faith healers, Jehovah's witnesses, Christian scientists, etc. You get the idea. You've all heard the stories.
One such case is very personal to me from my childhood. Nothing to do with religion but my mother was a complete nutter and my sister is lucky to be alive today. Constant visits to shady back rooms of a local health food store called Zerbos, occasional road trips to all over the damn country for these weird homeopathy conventions... Yeah. Not going to go into details beyond that but definitely I would say in extreme cases (and not necessarily just life-threatening ones) let the professionals take control.

Never heard of this but I like it.
I am not sure about applying it broadly to religion in general though due to the fact that there are so many religious people that claim their beliefs are backed by science.

You all may or may not be interested and would be welcome additions. Please consider signing up. Even if I hit my limit of ten players I would like to have a few extra sign up as replacements for inactive players.

@Lunatic
Looks like an interesting and potentially fun concept, but I just read through OSB 1 and realized it isn't really mafia, only resemblance being lynching and killing mechanics, therefor dialogue and investigating/mis-leading aren't as important or essential. I'll be watching though.
This is fair. If it makes you rethink at all this game will not have three teams, only two teams and no TPs. It will still be incredibly bastard I admit but there it is.

@coal
I am quite serious in my skepticism of the claim that the absence of voting standards would drive away quality members from both potentially voting or debating.
Also, not sure how many people would consider me a quality member but I do agree with this sentiment. I would personally vote more if I was less concerned about the effort going to waste because my 10k character RFD didn't meet some specific and obscure requirement as has happened to me before.

@coal
I understand the question mark is not what bugged you about those examples, just pointing out it bugged me.
Like, pro means 'in favor of' and con means 'against' (in the context of debating at least). Purely from a grammar perspective it makes sense to be in favor of the idea "Everyone should have guns" but what does it mean to be in favor of "Should everyone have guns?" Like, you support asking the question?
I know what they actually mean and this might seem nit picky but it is just something that always bothers me.

@oromagi
Maybe even add a voting requirement.
Not sure what you mean here. Mafia players voting for whether a person should be allowed to mod? Please clarify.
Regardless I do agree that some sort of requirement to be a mod might help improve game quality. What that might consist of is something this thread might be able to answer. In the short term though I will proceed with my game as soon as I have the minimum number of players (nine) and I will take some of the suggestions in the OP of this thread such as DP/NP length under advisement, though I have always advocated that NPs should be as short as possible.

I said:
The digestive system is the only source of energy the body has. (post 37)
You said:
I disagree, that is closed-minded. (post 43)
So my question to you again is... Since you disagree that food is the only source of energy please reveal to me what other sources exist. Disagreeing just for the sake of disagreeing is counter-productive to your cause. You should only say you disagree if you actually think I am wrong.

@crossed
I do not think what your saying is true.It is closed minded to think that.I believe there is more than that
Where does the body get energy to function besides food? If you have a method of keeping people alive without feeding them I would love to hear it.

The brain is a ten trillion times more advance then a computer.it is god engineering genius. By sheer chance there is most likely something we do not know about it.
That doesn't answer my question. Again the question was:
The energy the brain runs off of comes directly from the digestive system and nowhere else. That is the only source of energy the body has. You understand this right?
Please answer this question.

@crossed
no.I am using it in very basic terms.
Okay right, I am just making sure you understand that the energy the brain runs off of comes directly from the digestive system and nowhere else. That is the only source of energy the body has. You understand this right?

@crossed
Thank you.
Joking aside I do have a serious question: When you use the word 'energy' do you mean actual energy provided by the digestive system that keeps the body functioning or are you referencing some vague pseudo scientific usage of the word?

Thanks for the timely response. Will the CoC-compliant redactions be restored? I am more concerned about this not happening again than with this particular instance and I believe you that you will do what you can in that regard, just asking out of curiosity really.

@Speedrace
Your opinion is noted. That you vehemently insist his actions in no way resembled any of those offenses, does not leave much room for us to discuss anything.
I am certainly not being vehement nor am I drawing any conclusions whatsoever about any of his actions beyond this thread title and post one of this thread. I have not referenced anything other than those two "actions". You can do whatever you want with his posts that violate or potentially violate the CoC, such as post 4 of this thread. I have made it abundantly clear multiple times that I am not talking about those posts.
You provided a list of CoC violations (specifically your quote "Excessive trolling, spam, fighting words, given his related comments possibly adult content") which are punishable under the CoC. Would you please care to tell us which of these applies to the title/OP of this thread rather than strawmanning my clearly defined position by bringing up posts that do violate the CoC and I clearly am not talking about?
@virt and speed
I know you two didn't do this but due to your positions I need you to carefully read this conversation from post 16 on down and take action accordingly.

This thread title/OP had none of those things except very light profanity (less than there was in the post which I summoned you here with).And note that it is unchanged.
It's not unchanged though.
It was: how bad can you fuck up your phone
It is now: how bad can you [profanity] up your phone
That is pretty obviously a change. According to the note in the OP you are the one that changed it, that is why I tagged you.
Excessive trolling, spam, fighting words, given his related comments possibly adult content...
And I say again that the thread title and OP are none of those things. Not even remotely. If I am starting to sound like a broken record then perhaps it is because something is broken.

The YouTube video title has the word genius in it and the video has lots of big words that I don't understand so the guy must be a genius.

It's not absolutely necessary but I think it'd be very beneficial and nice to have
Yeah alright. My first post on this thread was mostly just me looking for an excuse to bitch about the fact that the majority of people are dumbass sheep that think simplistic words that are taught to toddlers when first learning to speak such as 'left' and 'right' should be used as a serious method of describing real political issues. I actually like the idea of a Big Issues-like feature.

This thread is not about forum restructuring. It is about profile restructuring.
Remember on DDO the feature where people listed on their profiles whether they were pro or con on things like gay marriage, federal reserve, etc.? That is what this is.

If you are worried about this happening to you, simply don't behave like Hole did (doxxing, unintelligent insults, spamming out escalating profanity into forum topic names, etc.).
This thread title/OP had none of those things except very light profanity (less than there was in the post which I summoned you here with). Where is anything remotely like this thread title/OP considered a problem in the CoC and why did you feel the need to go over Speed's head regarding this?

Why does it have to be different if you can't think of anything better? Most of this sites format is copy-pasted from DDO and the parts that are different are sometimes worse (such as the PMs). If some way of doing things works why not stick with it?

I am pretty sure that is how ben carsons supplements work.But i do not think that is that simple.for example a man was beaten half to death and the guy wakes up a genius at mathSince the guy can not talk that good and has brain damage because he was beaten to death. where did all the power/energy that went to the parts of the part of the brain that was damaged.It must have went to the mathematical parts.Which is why he is a genius in those parts of the brain.Think of Sheldon from the big bang theory.The guy is retarded but a genius at math.clearly no brain power is going to the retarded parts of his brain.Clearly all the brain power that was going to the retarded parts has been rerouted to the mathematics parts

@SirAnonymous
How did opinions and polls bring down DDO? I don't really see a connection there.
Those were the first sections to fall to the spammer-scammer bots so they have a bad rep among people. I agree with you that it is illogical, it is like saying Normandy (the physical location) brought down the third Reich. Nonsense. Operation Overlord is what defeated Germany, Normandy just happens to be where the operation took place.

You're leaving out the entirety of Centrism, Libertarianism, Fascism, Communism, people who only have positions on a select few issues, people who don't care about ideology and choose positions based on pragmatism, conservatives with certain liberal positions, liberals with conservative positions, etc.
I am not leaving them out - I actually fall into one or more of those broad categories - I am simply acknowledging that they are in the minority. I am not opposed to a big issues feature, just don't see it as necessary.
By the way I recognize that SCP, props for that. That's one of the scarier ones I believe.
Lol thanks. I actually chose it specifically for it's scariness ( was near Halloween at the time) I am considering changing it to a Christmas theme. I might just go with a new SCP but the only Christmas SCP I know is... Not filled with Holliday cheer...

You can't reliably tell scum from everyone else based off of behaviour alone.
This statement is outrageously false in 98% of mafia games. It is true in this one only because survivors control the vote.

Today's social climate makes it pretty easy to predict a person's stance on most issues just by knowing their stance on a few, even if the two are completely unrelated.
Someone is anti-abortion? Pretty good chance they are anti-gun control as well.
Pro gay rights? Probably also favor taxing corporations more.
These issues are completely unrelated yet statistically these statements are more often true than would be expected by random chance. Peoples willingness to categorize and divide themselves makes a big issues feature much less useful than it would be otherwise.
