Why you should not vote for RationalMadman.

@RationalMadman
That is how I reacted when emotional in a situation that didn't punish anybody.

The only part of that which was unprofessional was to use the word 'cunt'.
Emotional outrage is one thing, but you do believe in censorship. No one cares about the use of some expletives. It's the part where you are defending people's right to be offended. Your own campaign resembles this same stuff. There is no denying it. If your first response is to ban, block, or silence people with opinions you don't like, and your role as president gives you a direct say in that, this is a very dangerous position for you to be in for a site that badly needs growth. We should not be encouraging more bans or stricter bans. 

Are you saying that Wylted hasn't said worse things?
No. Also please don't pull a Cathy Newman

If you didn't skip in the middle you skipped what came before then.
Okay I added the initial post you made to the document. Should have everything now. I don't think it helps your case much but there you have it.

@RationalMadman
I am not baiting you into anything. The whole conversation was to highlight how instead of trying to have a conversation with me about a subject that was controversial to you, you decided to:
1. Insult me by calling me an "insensitive Fvcking cvnt" 
2. Leave the discord
3. Block me on Debateart


All of this is to highlight how your outlook on moderation will be to encourage bans on people who have controversial opinions, instead of letting them debate them. Debate is what this site is intended for is it not?

RationalMadman only is okay with debate on topics that do not offend him.

If I were to dox you or Wylted against your will and use things you'd said elsewhere, I know what the mods would do to me.
This is not Doxxing. That is an insane take. Also you literally called me out as if I was leaving things out of the conversation. You asked me to back it up, I back it up. You realize it makes you look bad and suddenly it's doxxing? You insulted me several times throughout this conversation, all I did was laugh and point out how silly you were being lol.

That said, we will see the outcome. Not like you showed the full convo anyway, you skipped parts in the middle but I do not care.
I did not skip anything, there are several others in that discord that can go through the conversation and post anything I left behind if I did indeed leave anything out. I have no incentive to leave anything out of this lol. 

I will wait for permission to post to this thread with campaigning.
Both you and wylted have mis-understood the guidelines for campaigning. That is in reference to making a new thread advertising yourself. Nowhere does it say you cannot respond to others. Ragnar literally just clarified this with wylted.

Silenced to me personally or silenced to speak others on a platform that I control?
I am saying if you are elected president you will have the ability to have a final say on moderation decisions. How you view the world and how willing you are to silence others opinions is extremely relevant here.

@RationalMadman
And the fact that blocking to me is not always permanent is something you wish to completely ignore?
I fail to see how perma blocking vs temp blocking is relevant. Me and you were having a logical discussion, and I was silenced because you dis-agreed with my opinions. Silencing other people's opinions because they offend you is the anti-thesis of debate, and not something that should be wanted in a president of a debating website. 

Of course it is, since your agenda here is precisely to demonise me but I will ask you this, can you please fully tell the Borat conversation rather than your abridged version?
I can do you one better and screenshot the conversation if I can find it. Give me a sec.

@RationalMadman
Lmao, I can't defend against this without violating the rule of not campaigning outside my campaign thread, so I will wait for the mods to allow me to. Otherwise, I'll address this inside my thread.
I am sure the mods will allow you to "defend" yourself. Mods would be silly not to allow logical discourse on a debate website, and that is hardly "Campaigning". Though I am not sure what there really is to defend. All this thread is doing is explaining the harms of your ideals and how they can effect the presidency position. This is literally just an agree to dis-agree situation between me and you, where I am highlighting the negatives effects of your view points in regards to how they will negatively impact others. 

Also you are not blocked, you are literally still on my friends list on discord.
You unblocked me so I could play in your mafia game and we could respond to each other, If it weren't for mafia I would still be blocked. However my current status of whether I am blocked or not is kind of far from the point. The fact that it happened in the first place is the thing I am trying to highlight here.

Why you should not vote for RationalMadman.
I will start off by saying this is not an attempt to smear RationalMadman's character, or to hurt/ dig at him in the slightest. This is purely an argument, a very compelling one mind you, about why I think his campaign is damaging to the website as whole. 

First, what is the exact role of the president? What are we trying to accomplish here? Let's take it straight from the horses mouth shall we? 

"While not a moderating role, the President does retain limited powers with their position, including:
  • The ability to communicate within a moderation team chat (via Discord) in order to give input on all forms of daily decision-making. Except when completely untenable, the mod team will strive to ensure the President’s viewpoint is heard and honored.
  • The ability to approve or veto permanent ban propositions. Moderation will be required to submit permanent ban propositions to the President for review unless the user in question is a bot or advertising account, the situation is uniquely urgent or severe, the President is absent and/or unreasonably tardy, or the permanent ban proposition targets the President themselves. Vetos may be overridden by a simple majority vote among the moderation team. 
  • The ability to envision and execute community events, pending the approval and assistance of moderation."
A role that directly impacts how moderators function is pretty important. The first bullet point here talks about just a general ability to communicate with the mods. I suppose you have that same avenue through messages so no big whoop. But that second bullet point there, that's where this gets real. Having the ability to say "yes or no" to a ban is an absolutely insane thing to allow a member like rationalmadman to do, especially when given his statements in his campaign thread. 

"As somebody who both personally and, by observing others, has both felt and seen the impacts of harassment, I would use any sway I had as president to push the mods to respect and notice interactions that drive people off of the website or alternatively drive them to act more hostile.
There is this idea that 'special snowflakes' should just suck it up and toughen up but this is a website we use to pass the time with many intellectuals on it who have unique sensitivities and often were bullied IRL and teased for their odd ways. It's not an ordinary person who comes to a debate website, that just isn't the niche market this goes for."

RationalMadman has a mentality towards "bullies" that is absolutely insane by the way. I tried having a discussion with rationalmadman some months back about the movie "Borat" where I was told by RM that the actor who played Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen) was a bully, and a horrible person because he pulls public pranks at others expenses and doesn't inform them of the prank (obviously that would undermine the very idea of the prank). In having a conversation with him about this and trying to get him to see how absurd the idea that this guy is the anti-christ because of a prank, RationalMadman proceeded to lump me into the same "evil person" category and subsequenty blocked me and left the discord. I was flabbergasted by this. I was honestly attempting to debate and discuss an issue with him, and was called a bully and blocked.

This is just one example of many on this website where RationalMadman gets carried away with the use of the term "bully".


Here is an example of RM being bullied because someone dislikes an anime character he likes. 

But it's important to understand his worldview of bullying. If he views something as offensive, and you dis-agree with him that said thing is offensive, you are automatically to be silenced, or cancelled. He is cancel culture personified. Cancel culture and people who view the world through a "right to be offended by everything lens" is the problem with society. Comedians can't tell a joke without offending someone. You can't make a star wars or ghost buster movie with out a strong powerful female lead or you are a misogynist. The same rhetoric we see every day is caused by people with the same world view as RationalMadman.

This all becomes extremely important when you realize how much this role actually has to do with moderation. Overt moderation has already been a problem on this site from the beginning of this websites birth. I've made multiple threads explaining why this is so over the past few years, and its really the only issue I see that prevents this site from growing. Now wylted is also someone I actively campaigned against on DDO when he ran last, however DDO has very different circumstances than DART has with moderation. Moderation of DDO (Airmax) was very laissez faire style. Moderation was not DDO's issue at the time. Moderation is however DART's only issue. How can we have an active thriving community when our most vocal members that encourage debate and discourse are constantly being banned or in fear of being banned because someone else has the right to feel offended by something that was said? 

If we never discuss or debate controversial issues, ingorance will remain and persist. The only way to triumph over inorance is to prove ignorance wrong. You may not change the mind of the ignoramus themselves, but by wining a debate against them you are proving to the world that you provided the better argument. People who may be leaning on the side of the ignorant party are more likely to look upon your debate or discussion and be convinced by your side if you debated well. Silencing people does not do this. Silencing people and over punishing people for offensive opinions is the EXACT opposite of what should be encouraged on a website that brags to be about debate.

Now if you feel offended by something, you have a very nifty block tool. Personally speaking, blocking is a weak move for a "debater" but in circumstances where you feel someone is going out of there way to harass you in a real way, blocking is the perfect tool to combat that. Why should we need any more moderation than involved than that? Can we simply choose not to avoid interacting with or viewing a persons posts we find distasteful? 

My point is this: The risk to voting rationalmadman is that he can veto moderation decisions even in cases where more leniency could be an option. And you can bet your ass that he will, because RM has actively advocated heavier bans and punishments from the mods in almost every situation excluding the ban of himself. Call it narccissistic if you want. Call it what it is. 

But the harm to voting wylted? Virtually doesn't exist. Wylted is all about freedom of speech. The dude has said some of the more controversial things on the site. Whether his motives are secretly to "stir the pot" or to actually cause discussion or discourse are not for us to decide. We should be encouraging people however to respond the things like that logically if we are to call this a debate site. We have our own tools to block those that offend us and ignore them.

So in the end, there is massive harm potential from RationalMadman as president VS wylted in regards to the position and its pull on moderation. Anyone can host a debate tournament of their own time. I am all for community engangement, but at the cost of freedom of speech it's simply not worth having RM as president for a little debate tournament. I have theories that this move for president has more narcissistic motivators for both parties than it does for actual community development, so if this is a "pick a lesser of two evils situation" than voting for Wylted is definitely the move here based on the actual harm RationalMadman can actually cause to this community and people who take this website serious enough past the age of 16.

Terrible reasons to ban somebody
-->
@Mharman
Wait, why are we banning people for having beliefs on a debate website? Because we don't like their beliefs? Isn't this counterproductive to a debate website?
It's my firm belief that  this site will neverbe as active or succesful as Debate.org was largely because of moderation. It's nothing personal, I think they are decent guys personally, but time and time again they have chosen to ban people for silly reasons. There isn't much of a reason to debate here.

You literally said you were lazy in the Discord and wanted to concede because of it lol.
I did not I said I quit because of y our bullshit redirector mechanic. Fucking redirectors in your game are like super saiyans

You’re not even holistically considering the balance for the game. It was only a 2x Redirector and odds of them choosing the right person are just about the same as a Cop investigating a person innocent.
Balance of the game goes out the window when mafia role blocks and night kills don't have priority. No matter what that makes town OP as shit. 

And yes that’s how the balance worked this game. If I didn’t have the Strongman role/modifier, I’d agree it’s bastard, but I did have it
What happens if evil got lynched dp1? I mean he was on the table for his inactivity. The fact is plain and simple your game is 10x more balanced if you change that stupid mechanic with the redirector. I feel like you are just doubling down because you got caught making a dumb decision and don't want to admit that you made a mistake. Mistakes happen with modding. Just swallow your pride and admit it. 

 If the Redirector was unlimited I’d agree it was bastard, but it wasn’t. The game wasn’t broken. You screwed yourself over by killing Oro. I don’t have to follow the rules of other mods and neither do you. Deal with it.
All I am saying is if you are not following the rules of standard mods you should say that in the OP of your sign ups so people can decide if they want to waste their time their or not. I told people up front when my game had plurality lynching so it wouldn't surprise them when the game started. You should do the same thing. Just say "Town actions take priority over mafia actions in this game". I would have been like cool, I'll skip this one. 

My bad. Still doesn’t get over the fact you could’ve quit after reading the OP. Or the fact you could’ve asked questions rather than assume stuff. I thought I provided enough info, clearly I didnt, but you could’ve told me to clarify things. I can’t read your mind. Mods mod differently. If you don’t like it, don’t play, but this game as it was designed was far from bastard.
This has nothing to do with reading minds. It's rather simple actually. You clearly don't understand how the strongman works. Your own link earlier proved that, and you have yet to respond to that part. It is a KILL modifier, not a strengthener. You literally gave us strengthener as a fake role claim, so you clearly know there is a difference. I am guessing you added that mechanic later on after I pointed out how stupid it is to let a town role have priority over a mafia role, because you didn't want to admit to making a bad decision. Why would I just assume that strongman would work as a strengthener instead of a kill modifier? If something has a wierd or different mechanic, that's on the MOD to explain how that mechanic works differently.

It was you who said that you were lazy, not me lmfao. It’s your job to research. And once again, I could’ve clarified it better but that doesn’t excuse you from assuming things. Cause when you do you look like the first 3 three letters.
I didn't say I was lazy. I played whenever I had the time to do so. Your argument is absolutely horrible and its also a deflection from the fact that you chose to moderate poorly. But the fact that you think the only way to counter a town redirector is for mafia to have a strengthener that you hope isn't dead in order to even counter it proves my point alone. You simply don't know what you are doing. Rather than admit it, you just make yourself look dumber. 

I was referring to Poker as well. The mechanics weren’t normal. And we both questioned the mod when things seemed vague. You’re actually trying to justify why I should’ve read your mind and put everything out before hand. It’s simply impossible.
I didn't play poker mafia.


Your making yourself look dumber with every post.

@ILikePie5
I’ve already said I could’ve made it less vague by providing an example, but that still doesn’t absolve you of not asking questions because you were lazy.
I literally watched like 30 minutes worth of this gay ass cartoon with episodes about darkus hydra for evil and well as read the whole wiki to make sure his role pm didn't have any immscuracies or discrepancies. And I figured out the theme split for this retarded ass cartoon. Doubt anyone else would have attempted that. On the contrary you are the lazy one since you think clarifying important role mechanics is not the job of the mod.

You played in Bullish’s game with odd mechanics lol. I even said in the OP there are hidden mechanics in this game. You could’ve quit before the game even started. 
The mime one wasn't even a mafia game, also we played it in live so I already knew the concept was pretty well thought out. He wasn't disguising it as mafia while fucking with the mechanics of how things commonly work.

I’m not psychic that I could predict all the questions you’re going to ask. Whiteflame was dealing with a new interpretation of Lover and he asked me a ton of questions for clarification. If you don’t know you ask, but you were lazy this game so you didn’t.
More denying responsibility that you added a wierd mechanic, worded it vaguely, and assumed I would pick up on some random word in the role PM. Anything to avoid responsibility. Usual pie. 

There are weird mechanics in a lot of games. Even if I said it you’d still have played lmao
No I wouldn't have. I refused to play disc's "bastard" games precisely because they were weird twists on mafia which I had no interest in playing.

@ILikePie5
Then maybe you should’ve asked like any normal human being would if you’re confused about what “modify” means lol. The point was the you could attach the modifier of not being blockable or redirectable to any action you take. I could’ve made it clearer and included an example but you still could’ve asked instead of assuming. And this is how I mod with Redirectors everytime lol. No mod mods the same way lol.
You mod it wrong everytime then. And know I am not going to ask about some vague concept that could be theme related like wtf world would anyone ask about that? Your the mod. You tell the players how their role works instead of leaving them in the dark lol  Especially if there is wonky mechanics. 

Again: you could’ve Strongarmed so I did give you a counter to account for my mechanic. If I didn’t give you the mechanic, I would be more sympathetic to your cause, but the way I designed this game, I specifically accounted for that. If you don’t like weird mechanics that’s on you.
If there is wierd mechanics you should let players know before they sign up and waste their time.

Your role clarified you can use it as a Modifier to another role in the Super JOAT lol. 
But still isn't how a strongman works as your own link pointed out so why the fvck I would assume it had uncanny characteristics? Regardless that is still beside te main point of how you mod town redirectors is absolutely fucking retarded.

Well there’s a reason why he was only a 2x Redirector. And you could’ve still Strongman killed anyone of your choosing. The counter is still there.
That doesn't refute the fact that this isn't how redirectors work. Whether he was out of redirects was beside the point, I might have continued to play even if he had unlimited redirects. It's the principal that you would design a town role that takes precedence over both mafia night kill and roleblock, and rather than admit you are wrong and change that mechanic, double down and defend it. I am not playing in fucking retarded silly games that play around with wierd mechanics. Waste of my time. You should tell people ahead of time that you are bastard modding if thats the type of game you are into so I don't have to aste my fucking time with it.

Strongarms go through even if you’re roleblocked. It’s not some unitary role that only bypasses Doctors lol. Here’s the description straight off MafiaUniverse:

“The Strongman will, if they perform a kill, have immunity against this action being manipulated with (including Roleblocker, Redirector, etc.) or protected against (including Bulletproof, Doctor, Bodyguard, etc.).”
Your own link clarifies that its a kill modifier btw. The way you made your strongman work is not how the strongman usually works. Which is fine, but acting as if it should have been obvious is just wrong and your own source is proof of that. 

You weren’t able to NK anyways cause of the Virgin lol. And there is a counter - attach Strongman to your actions.
And NP3? I can't attach a strongman because evil is dead. There is literally no counter to the redirector but praying that he doesn't redirect me into oblivion every night. Chances are he wouldn't have again, who knows, but it's the principal of the thing. The fact that you made a redirector invulnerable is absolutely autistic. I am asking max the question now to see what he says.

Jailkeeper blocks night kill unless night kill is directed at jailkeeper;
Redirector can redirect mafia actions not aimed at him. Same simple principle. An uncounterable redirector is worse than making all fucking townies unflavored cops.

I give Luna props, I did not sus him until pretty late in DP2 and even then he had me second-guessing it. Wasn't until DP3 that POE put him squarely in the crosshairs.
The POE you used was right for the wrong reasons; I actually roleblocked you np2 though I did mention that I knew wylted was lying about being role less. But there was nothing I could do. My role technically allowed me to use two abilities, but if I am redirected by the godlike uncounterable redirector I am fucked. Pie explained that the "strongman" could be used as a modifier to the roleblock to bypass that (that is not what a strongman does lmao), but it still only let's me counter one of you, and you were the unknown role at the time. If this was a normally modded game, I could kill you and block the redirector, but apparently redirector can somehow redirect both the kill and role block and if poly is using it on me everynight then there is literally no counter to that. I've never seen a mod do that shit. It is absolutely retarded. I had a decent claim, was even planning to forfeit the night kill and claim bulletproof and try to spin a lynch on poly or GP. Whether it would have worked or not who knows, because the retarded logic of "TUF can't be town if he survives 1 day phase" but I would have at least tried but pie wants to sit here and argue with me that a redirector that functions like that is mechanically sound, which is isn't. SO fuck him and his game lol

Literally can't play mafia anymore. I either get a noob partner like poly or evil who refuses to put any effort into the game, so that I have to do all the leg work making the fake claims, or if I survive one fucking night phase I am automatically scum (Even though the logic here was pretty fucking retarded GP because there wasn't a night kill np2 anyway) but if you are going to use that shitty ass logic every game then it is pointless for me to play. Also sick of all the noobs who put in 0 effort. This shit just isn't fun anymore. Pie is literally sucking the fun out of this game for me anyway. I hope he chokes on trumps dick and dies, little faggot.

Lunatic decided to concede because he thought a Redirector redirecting a Roleblock was OP even after I gave him a Strongman that neutralizes it. Whatever floats his boat I guess. I thought the game was pretty balanced - maybe Town lean if I had a gun to my head. Mafia had everything they could need. I gave them a Fake Claim and a separate Fake Role. I gave them a Super JOAT that allows modifications to actions as long as the Enabler is alive - similar to what Poly did in his game but even more OP.

I still don’t understand the reasoning behind killing Oro even after he claims a role like Beloved Princess. There was a hidden mechanic that if Mafia choose to Hooker the Virgin, Oro would’ve lost his powers and reverted to a Vanilla.


There is absolutely no fvcking world where a night kill and a roleblock don't supercede redirector. That is OP as fuh. The rest of the balance is whatever; I had mike explain it to you in detail that no one mods like that. If your going to give every town member a power role then you have to let mafia have a counter to them. It seems like you tried to do that here but the redirector thing you know you were wrong on and doubled down on because your a prideful sack of shit. Fuck you bro. You suck as a mod.

I'd like to end this DP, but I'd also like your claim before that happens. Currently, you're the only holdout.
I am not claiming this phase, particularly when we already have a guilty result on someone. I have softed my claim, tbh its probably not the hardest to figure out but in the chance mafia haven't figured it out I am not claiming it. Tomorrow maybe.

why do you think this.
I explained it last day phase, but mainly because of oro's death. He had hinted at being a beloved princess type role and mafia still chose to kill him. Also night actions just dont make any sense in general for a vet to be on the scum team. 

Town luna wouldn't rush the dayphase knowing he had time later to play.
We have a guilty on evil, we lynch him just have to hit one more scum. I would prefer to spend our time in the next day figuring out who that is and get evil out of the way.

Lynch evil. Hopefully I you all submit actions fast, I am able to play all day today after like 3 hours, so hopefully the night phase will be over by then. I know the mafia has to be two noobs, the second scum is 100% GP or poly.

Poly is probably evil's scum partner. Why  the hell would he have redirected me after I hinted I was a passive role at the end of last dp? I strictly told evil not to strengthen me because I do not have a visiting role. Why were are all discounting poly is scum is mind blowing. GP is not town confirmed either.

Just so we don't keep digging down into this, I'll just say that I'm willing to consider him in future lynches. I don't think I would do so for this DP, but I think a lynch on Bron would be telling.
That's fine with me, all I am disputing is that he is ultra town confirmed, since I saw that said. My working theory is two noobs still.

I guess you could call it a hunch based on what I've seen him do before. If we're assuming that scum got full claims with associated justifications, I guess I could see him just being lazy and full-claiming the whole thing.
I wouldn't say we should assume that scum did or didn't just that we shouldn't discount that they might have. I will say pie letting us C/P role pm's seems to aid the idea that maybe scum did though. 

Here's what's bugging me about it, though: he was under the misapprehension from early on, even after Wylted said that his role failed, that Wylted had Watched Bron. As scum, you would think that he'd know that Wylted was RB'd and just acknowledge that the attempt to use the role failed. I have a hard time believing that he would keep pushing the narrative that it went through and Wylted just didn't understand the response he got from Pie.
I mean if he roleblocked him and knew he was roleblocked he could knowingly say he used his action however he wants since there is no way for the action to be proven or disproven. Wylted claimed he was a watcher in post 27 before poly even claimed redirector in post 56

Wouldn't be the first time I've seen a Redirector on town, and wouldn't be too surprised if Pie had included one. That being said, if this is a Bron/Poly team, I don't see Poly coming up with a tactic of either fake claiming Redirector (pretty ballsy) or just giving away his role (even more ballsy). I guess this could be a fake claim given to him by Pie, but I find the amount that he's going through to explain why he did it doesn't fit with what I've seen Poly do as scum.
Why don't you see poly doing that? I mean scum roles can be town roles, it happens all the time. But I can see how rather than trying to come up with a fake claim and be potentially counter claimed someone like poly might just use their real role since it is technically verifiable. The only time poly has been scum to my knowledge was the game he played with me, and he wasn't particularly active and trying to mastermind plans or anything. While he is technically a vet, I think I would still put him among the lower eschalon of current players (no offense to him of course, I am basing that mostly on the effort he puts in the game).

Can we get your characters so we can do theme analysis? I'll provide mine since I am asking of course.

I am Subterra Clayf.

I'm just extremely hesitant with him regardless of behavior. I've been convinced that he was scum before and been proven wrong, so I'm honestly just completely unsure at this point. From anyone else, this behavior would be enough to get them lynched. From him... even with the lower involvement (and I'd say this is his lowest yet) and the fact that he posted yesterday that he knew we were actively VTLing him, I can't say that it's obvious. I still don't know how he'd behave as scum, but if this is it, then I'm having a hell of a time reading it cleanly.

The problem at this point is POE. We're running down the list, and right now, Wylted and Poly are the most townread people in this game. I townread you based on behavior and GP based on his attempt to get himself modkilled, plus the absence of the wincon in his post. That just leaves Bron and Evil, neither of whom I'm townreading. At best, Evil's null to me. It's at the point where I'm actively reconsidering my view on GP's claim and scrutinizing your posts just so that I can get someone else in there because I'm that uncertain about Evil.
I agree with most of this, with the exception of poly being the most town read. I don't see how he is really confirmed here yet. His action doesn't make a lot of sense, I don't see why wylted would have ever been targeted np1 for the kill, and wylted being roleblocked doesn't help us confirm the redirect. Not to mention redirect isn't normally a town role, it's a mafia role designed to cause chaos. As town the logical move is to forfeit in in almost every scenario, or maybe to use it to prove your role on a less effective town role. 

The only thing that makes me kind of doubt him as scum was that I wasn't targeted last night after scum reading him, but there is still any amount of reasons why they targeted oro,  those reasons may just not be clear to me at this time.

What do you think of evil genius? I am torn a bit. I looked up his character and it seems pretty accurate. If two noobs put that together I would be impressed but then we go back to the dp1 point with Grey and how mafia could have been provided a full fake claim with a description since pie gave scum one in the last game.

His inactivity doesn't help but it is also kind of consistent with his past games.

Wondering if we should get the rest of the characters out and try to determine a theme split. It obviously isn't good vs evil or something like that. Supas character seems evil and was also mentioned in evilgeniuses pm.

I do remember pie has some pretty complex theme splits though. And I know nothing of this theme so that might make it harder as I'd have to rely on the wiki but I feel like wiki don't give full context a lot.

I targeted you Luna because i thought you would have a good role and seemed town.
Alright... Ugh.. Don't target me again please. I won't tell you who to target here, but please look at the claims list carefully and make the right decision.

I think there's more than enough reason to lynch Bron based on what we know so far, though I also recognize that much of it could be circumstantial. He claims to have visited Wylted during the last NP, and Wylted got RB'd in that same NP. It could be that we just have another person who did it, but the simpler answer is that he did it himself.
I agree for the most part but I would have to wonder why he would even claim visiting him if that were the case. But the simple answer to that could be what I was theorizing earlier; Noob scum team.

It's still possible that Bron carried out the NK. All the Redirect tells us is that Wylted had his target changed. It doesn't tell us anything about Bron's target, since the Redirect wasn't directed at him.
Sorry that is right, I got bus driver mixed up with redirector since they function similarly. I always get those two confused.

Did you character claim? Can you please copy paste your role since it is apparently not against the rules to do so. I would like to see the description and role link since you alreadt role claimed.
