Yeah, it was meant to be as a further suggestion, because I think he might not want to force everyone to keep their edit history showing all the time maybe.

Maybe you can have it where individual threads can decide if they want to track editing or not.

I was thinking we ought not to do co-hosting ever again, takes away an important player.

And yeah, I'mma join anyone else's games until the Summer, if they decide to do it when it's been a bit overdone, but I'm not going to host another game until summer starts.

I just noticed you haven't seemed to be participating. You do realize that the game is being played, currently, right? It started yesterday. You can still hop in, don't worry. But you know the game is being played, right?

All you have to do to continue playing is just go to Discord and find the server.

@bmdrocks21
Oh yeah I hate that. All tests should be standardized...
And we only need two, a midterm and an end-of-the-class test.
No other grades but those 2. No stupid participation grades and of the such.

Wanna play DARTvivor S3 - Japan? It works with a challenge (such as a scavenger hunt), and then you vote one of the losers out of the game. You keep doing this (playing challenges and voting a loser out) until there is only 2 people left, and then the last few people who died will choose one of you 2 survivors to be the winner! It's fun.
It starts this Wednesday, and we currently have only 12 players, but want 14.
Here's the link (you can play, or spectate too):

I haven't thought much about it, but I hate public schools and think that the government uses its money terribly.

So I'd probably say no.

It's a game played over the course of almost a month (if you survive through it all), and you basically repeat these steps until you have a winner:
1. compete in a challenge (such as a scavenger hunt)
2. vote one of the losers out

That's it, and it's pretty fun!

Currently, we have 12 players:
- SirAnonymous
- SupaDudz
- WaterPhoenix
- ILikePie5
- Cassandra (a friend)
- That1User
- ResurgetExFavilla
- Swagnarok
- Leaning (DDO)
- adam29 (idk where he's from)
- Eddie Spaghetti (idk where he's from)
- Mopac

Sadly, Press and Virt has had to leave the list.

Our plans were designed for 14! Come on everybody!

And sorry this is a bit intrusive. I already asked a ton of people, and now others are going through the list to ask everybody, and I did not expect for us to do that twice. But anyway, now that the date has been moved to Wednesday, 01/22/2020, are any two other players able to play? It'll end on 02/16/2020 (the 4th Sunday of the game).

Me and Speed put some good effort into this, and we have some fun (and unique, never-before-seen) challenges! But I also don't want to force it, don't play unless you're sure you'll put your time into it as much as you would normally and have fun. You can also just watch if you want.

Here's the link to the Discord again:

EDITED: Changed Start Date from "01/16/2020" (I accidentally wrote today's date) to the correct start date.

Yeah that doesn't make any sense, it doesn't even have anything to do with DART--it's on a separate discord run by me and speed.

And it's fun!
Basically, the game's just
1. Challenge (something like Trivia a Scavenger Hunt)
2. Tribal Council (one of the losers of the challenge is voted out of the game)
3. Repeat until someone wins!

Hey everybody!

Here's the link to the Discord!

And I'm just starting to realize I don't have a sufficient number of players yet (Supa was right about asking earlier), so I will ask everybody (with Discord) if we should start next Wednesday, January 22, 2020. I'll also start finding more people to ask--including irl ones maybe.

DARTvivor Season 3 - Japan! is a fun game where you compete in challenges (such as trivia) every couple of days and vote people out until there is only one survivor. Me and Speed thought of some good challenges that I think everyone will enjoy.

It starts Wednesday, and it'll last for a little bit less than a month. Sign-ups now!

I'm making a Discord bot to make it easier to create alliance chats with your team members.

Hopefully it'll be done by Wednesday, but this is an amazing bot and everyone should play!

ALSO,
Me and Speed thought of some awesomeORIGINAL challenges for this game, so play! Because it's fun, and it also isn't any more time consuming than the other games.

How do people have confident opinions and just know how things work

@Mopac
Are you trying to say that I believe in Arianism and that Arianism is a heresy? And what does that have to do with "God's Word and Breathe share in His divinity?"

You do know I'm not Catholic, right? If Orthodoxy is supposed to be related to Catholicism I'll definitely take it off my profile, I looked up its definition and it said it meant that you believe in what people believed when your religion was created, and don't go astray from that. I know there is Orthodox Catholics but I thought the word could be used for more than that too.

How do people have confident opinions and just know how things work
Oh by the way this relates to the topic.

Alec asked me why I believe women shouldn't be able to vote, and the reason I believe they shouldn't be able to vote is because they don't really belong in politics and only make it worse (like the prohibition is a great example, and the only reason being gay and transgender and affirmative action is a thing is because the Democratic party was targeting girls (who love inclusivity) to be part of their party), and because they don't even have any share in the game. The only way a government can enforce its policies is because it uses violence and has power and a big army. Have you noticed why we got rid of the Articles of Confederation? The government wasn't powerful enough that an angry mob (who was, by the way, somewhat cheated by the rich) was literally nearly able to take them down. Think of who else could if they wanted to. Girls, however, can't use violence. They aren't able to fight in armies (although some do, apparently), and when they're part of an army, they even make it worse, because the men in the army give them special treatment and try to save them too much when they should be focused on the enemy.

Really politics is a men's game, made and played by men, and girls have nothing to do with it whatsoever. They have no reason to be a part of it, and they only make it worse.

But the point is, I started to say this to Alec, and while Alec didn't change my mind or anything, he started debating me, and said that laws aren't always enforced by violence and stuff (like how it's possible for a government to do something without a literal rebellion inciting because of it). Now I still don't believe this means girls should vote, but I backed down and didn't respond for some reason.

But yeah, just because women could vote, and a rebellion wouldn't be incited by it, doesn't mean they should, but you know, I don't necessarily know why anyone should vote if it wouldn't cause a war, and it just seems like it depends on outside forces and stuff and to get nitty gritty would be outside of my expertise. It just seems hard to debate stuff like that, and get into all the little details, even if you're still highly confident that you're right.

I believe that the Trinity doesn't make any sense, and that they are three separate beings.
Heavenly Father is the creator, and Jesus was created by him.

After the Tower of Babel, where humans attempted to rebel against God, God was dissatisfied with the world and separated the world into 70 or 72 nations. He would only be the God of one--the Jews, and the Jews would serve as an example for the rest of the world, for the world would see that they want God, and that they would be blessed for doing good under him, but punished for doing wrong. Jews often have more extreme rewards/punishments than the rest of the world in the Bible.

Of course God still had authority over everything, but he appointed "Sons of God," who were sub-gods, under all the nations. Jesus was also appointed as a sub-god to rule Israel with the Most High. This is why Jesus is referred to as a god so much, he was one, but he wasn't the Most High God--Heavenly Father. As you can see, everyone in the Bible is very explicit to differentiate between Jesus and Heavenly Father, often referring to Heavenly Father with a name such as "The Most High."

I believe that Jesus's spirit was created by Heavenly Father a long time before Jesus was born, and that Jesus's body was created by Joseph and Mary. It had to be both Joseph and Mary who created his body because they both came from King David and Jesus had to come from King David. Jews often wonder why Christians believe Jesus is savior when we often say stuff like God is his only father and not Joseph when the Bible states he came from King David and stuff. The Holy Ghost had to make sure it was a virgin birth though because he needed to make sure that Jesus's spirit was put into his body and not some other one being produced, but how it all worked is a bit speculative.

Also, for the record, I used "Spirit" to be like ghost, but it's apparently supposed to be a word for the resurrected version of our bodies.

Also, fyi, this is me repeating what I learned from my Dad, and that he would probably say it better, with a lot more facts and knowledge. I probably wouldn't have been Christian if it wasn't for my Dad, so I say it isn't that wrong for me to put my trust in him as far as what type of Christianity is the correct one. But yeah, my Dad is literally listens to a Bible video or reading something like every day, and he knows a ton about the Bible.

But yeah I don't like gays, abortion, or drugs, but I believe it should be legal.

I also don't like "discrepancy of wealth," but I don't like messing up the economy, either.

Alt-Right would probably describe me better if the term wasn't so associated with bad things, I believe that women shouldn't have suffrage and stuff like that, which might be considered un-libertarian, but Libertarian worked. I like conservatives, but I'm not one; conservatives don't conserve anything, and they are just liberals but always 50 years in the past.

Libertarians that are like really Libertarian though believe in stuff like Capitalism, legalized marijuana, and same-sex marriage.

They are like the right because they believe in free markets and stuff, and they are like the left because they believe in freedom to do what you want with your body. Many libertarians believe that being gay is unethical, but they believe you shouldn't be fined or anything for it.

Libertarians wouldn't necessarily say they want to be as close to anarchy without starting fires though. They would say that you should only have government where necessary. They believe that a government is a monopoly on violence, and that violence should be used in only extreme scenarios. They believe governments are often corrupt and to monitor them, and not let corrupt people seek after such positions of power.

In my own understanding of Libertarianism, I'd say a lot of them would also believe the consequence you assign to a crime should be specifically what one deserves for breaking the crime. For example, if you make a law that says anyone who steps on your yard gets a week of jail time, the damage caused by stepping on your lawn better be worth a week of jail. They don't believe in making excessive punishments to laws just to get people to do them less. This is contradictory to Capitalism, like let demand fit supply, and don't screw with it. A few Libertarians would even say that since making a law requires using a cop who threatens to shoot someone to enforce it, you should only make a law if you would be willing to shoot someone for breaking it.

I believe that we should have a judicial system but little more. Just like it says in the 6th noahide law, and what the Jews practiced before they took a king, which God himself told them was a bad idea.

So I'm pretty Libertarian.

Should I make it where the draft doesn't even happen until 9:45 PM, too?

Hey you guys, this game's going to be on a schedule.

I'm planning on starting it on 01/15/2020 (Wednesday), and it'll end on 02/09/2020 (Sunday) if nothing weird happens (like rage-quitting), which means it is about 26 days long.

Times are in EST.
I am currently thinking that the draft will be at 3:00 PM on the (1st) Wednesday, because why not, but the challenges and tribal councils will start at maybe 9:45 PM each day and be due on 9:45 PM of the next day.

I want tribal councils and challenges to always start and end at the same times.

I want people, from Californians to New Yorkers, to be able to easily get on and see the challenge results when it's time.

More importantly, I want everyone to be able to get on for about 10-60 minutes before the challenge is due each time for any challenges that are meant to be real-time, which I would like a few of them to be.

So Press, can you, living on the West coast I believe, be on from about 9:10 PM EST (7:10 PM your time it would seem) to 9:45 PM EST (7:45 PM your time it would seem) most days?

And for EST-ers, could you do it? What's the best time? When do you guys go to bed?
