If you have the perk active, it means your action will always work in situations where it would normally be prevented, and will always hit your intended target in situations where it normally wouldn’t. That’s all.

Well, some of them. For further clarification, I mean that town’s abilities will always be protected from abilities the prevent them from being carried out on their intended target. Some scum counters will still work.

If yall want to read the article w/out creating an account or giving ad revenue to the Atlantic, here it is:

It’s essentially a critique of social media from a centrist’s point of view, in which the writer argues that social media had promoted extremist context for the sake of engagement that has resulted in Americans becoming more polarized and tribalistic. In addendum to this is the argument is the argument that each side has become more toxic to members of its own that dissent from some of the more extreme views, resulting in increasing extremism from both sides.

This results in him levying a main accusation against the right and left.

For the right, he argues their version of extremism has turned them into a radicalized party of conspiracy theorists who are so deep in shit ideas that they view America as constantly under attack from non-patriots, ie traitors, of which Donald Trump took advantage of.

For the left, he argues their version of extremism has led them to pressure historically classical left institutions into adopting woke ideology to the point where reasonable ideas are thrown away in favor of identity-based politics, resulting in a party that views America as constantly under threat from racists, and accuses those who oppose violent protests of being “racist.”

While I don’t agree with every part of the article (I doubt anyone in this site does), it stands out as a great critique of social media and polarization in general. It also provides a window into how centrists currently view our nation’s politics, if you want to understand their perspective.

Some of his solutions to these problems are intriguing as well, although as a libertarian, I am strictly opposed to any government regulation that aims to enact his proposed solutions to the social media side of things. Ranked choice voting is intriguing- I’m more skeptical of his proposed Supreme Court reform.

Scum does have a faction perk, yes

Remember, town’s faction perk is not activated on days with a no-lynch

Oh and if there’s any confusion about Disciplined… it doesn’t work on no-lynches; it’s worded to avoid that

I cannot confirm or deny that one.

There is a theme split

Yes, twilight is after a hammer but before the mod has closed the DP

Hello

Hi 

Ok I said I wouldnt do this, but game starts at 11. I swear on my momma it won’t happen again

Role pms are distributed tho

Game start has been moved back to 10pm, will be moved no further. EST btw

2 hours left btw

As far as the setup goes, I’m not sure. 

I approved this, but I wonder just how balanced it was. Really hard to tell bc some of these roles were weird. I didn’t wanna force Casey to abandon some of these unique roles she put in this game, and I’m glad I didn’t.

Executioner was a little OP and I’ll take the blame for that. I thought it would be publicly announced and never asked Casey about it.

Idk for sure bc I wasn’t in this game, but from the little I was spectating you would’ve fooled me until this sentence. 

Idk how town fell this one lol… you put yourself in a list of risky players just a few games ago XD

Game will be centered around first and third person shooter games.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

Can retool the setup to fit more than 9 if needed/desired.

If I need to help Casey find a replacement, I will.

Banana said she’s available, so there’s that.

Can’t be me ‘cause I reviewed the setup for this game.

You are likely needed. Thank you btw

Oh hello fauxlaw.

I don't know who said this, but someone on here perpetuated the rumor that you had passed away. I don't know who.

hope yall have read up on how to play this game... we have some very helpful threads that are pinned in this forum

Aight the setup looked decently balanced when it was first introduced to me. Made a few suggestions that I think improved it.

gl all.

Yes GP is in

Last time I did that I made a shitty troll game lol 

i have a setup of my own to make, I'll pass. I've found that I can't do both at once

It was an awkward gesture. He was throwing his heart out the crowd. That was the whole point- he wasn’t even thinking about a Nazi salute.

Do you guys honestly think one of the richest men in the world would throw away his reputation like that?

Oh but lemme guess: He did it to secretly signal to Nazis while relying on the benefit of the doubt from others. Please ignore other less obvious ways one could do such a thing. Lol.

Even the ALCU (according to one of their recent tweets) knows this narrative is bullshit. Anyone who actually thinks Elon Musk is a neo-Nazi and this was a salute to Hitler is arguing in bad faith (confirmation bias) and should not be taken seriously. 

This whole case says way more about our media than it does about Elon Musk or Donald Trump.

Not really… I’m not even watching the inauguration. We won with the election.

I wasn’t ever sure if compulsive flavor meant SOP. Miller def does, but compulsive? Not sure. And I thought it was smart to hide the cop, town just ganged up on you for something stupid

I didn't hammer because I figured Whiteflame would, despite the fact the you were obviously town (and I really do think town should've known it). Hiding the fact that you were a cop was a good play, neither of us saw it coming... I had mentioned to Austin redirecting you to yourself could be an idea, but I was fearful of a watcher being placed on you, since I figured with Cerulean's weak investigative role there had to be a stronger one somewhere else (I didn't think it was you since you had essentially SOP claimed). The town confirmation of Lunatic was also a little annoying.

That’s fine but I don’t recall Florida taking funds out of their own flood plans to fund something stupid, so I doubt it’ll be an issue for them.
