I feel like we’re all waiting for the game to actually start.
Which is annoying to me, because in the past few games I’ve played I’ve found like to sit back and observe the early DP, and now everyone else wants to do it now, which completely ruins it.
I get the sense that someone is trying to blend in instead of getting the game going. You can all guess on who I’m thinking of.
Discuss.

I’m inclined to believe Moozer. I know role confirmation isn’t the same as affiliation confirmation, but I get a towny vibe from his posts. All two of them, that is.

I listened to the song I got, and I have also listened to "welcome to the internet" and that one song about killing yourself... pretty sure those two are his most viral songs.
Outside of that, nothing. He know he's a comedian and a singer/songwriter, but I haven't seen or listened to anything of his, outside of what I mentioned.

Meh. I don’t think mispronouncing her first name matches the standard of what you’ve listed.
I do have a gripe with people who call her “Commiela”… there’s truth behind it, but it’s unproductive and annoying.

I don’t think you’re a moron for mispronouncing Kamala. I just think it means you don’t care how it’s pronounced.

It’s a generalization.
Fair.
But thats the problem. When a person “frequently” speaks in hyperbole (a generous way of putting it) it makes it nearly impossible to distinguish whether they’re being serious or not.
It’s really not impossible. There’s a specific reason I used the word “pitch”… Donald Trump has the background of a businessman and a showman. When you weigh what he says against his actions with this understanding of his background in mind, it becomes easy to understand him. Hint: He’s not the demonic force the media would have you think he is. He’s essentially a shrewd 90s moderate who has two key uses for hyperbole:
1. Advertisement and voter appeal.
2. Baiting opponents into conceding his broader points.
That being said, you have a slight point here.
Some people are going to misinterpret what he says. That is the risk of hyperbole, some people are going to miss it. Those people are dimwits.
However, I would be remiss if didn’t mention that there’s more to the story here. I notice a lot of people, who are otherwise smart enough to detect hyperbole regularly, miss Trump’s hyperbole. This explains the sheer amount of people who misunderstand Trump, since most people aren’t dimwits. So what’s really going on here?
To the untrained eye, this looks like it backs up your point. If average to intelligent people are misunderstanding Trump, clearly he must be communicating incorrectly, right? Then I notice the hyperboles and other statements that you repeatedly misunderstand, like “fight like hell” on Jan 6.
This was an obvious hyperbole that has been used many times elsewhere, yet the media wanted us all to believe that the man who told his protestors to be “peaceful and patriotic” and told rioters to cease rioting over Twitter, somehow deliberately incited a whole riot and those words that give us a window into his actual thoughts are just an intentional misdirect. Orange man bad, don’t ask questions, please only take him seriously when it benefits our narrative, and not when it disproves it.
It is here where the problem reveals itself: The leftoid media, in promoting their “orangemanbad” narrative, has taught a whole host of midwits to prioritize bad faith interpretations of Trump’s words, as opposed to noticing the hyperbole and adopting a more realistic approach to interpreting Trump…
So in the end what we get is a person whose supporters take whatever meaning out of his words they find convenient and hand waive away anything that can’t be positively spun, which is exactly where we are now. It’s a game of heads I win tails you lose.
… so in the end what we actually get is statements like this where you confuse obvious and good faith interpretations for “hand waiving things away.”
Meanwhile, because Kamala Harris is taken seriously everything she says gets put under a microscope and held to an insane double standard.
Does Kamala Harris use hyperbole like Trump? All politicians do to some degree, but I think we can both agree she doesn’t use it like Trump does, otherwise you wouldn’t have made this thread.
Nonetheless, I’m sure the rightoid media has taken some things she has said out of context. I haven’t forgotten the whole “you didn’t build that” thing from over a decade ago. Modern news media sucks.
Even so, I’ve seen some of Kamala Harris’s interviews and have a good idea of what her policies are. I am definitely voting for Trump this November.

@Lemming
As well as giving me an idea, that perhaps certain jobs might do well to attempt to employ people who do not apply for said job.
I can’t remember where I read it, but it’s been said the best leaders are those who want leadership the least. It’s definitely not always the case, but there’s a real truth behind it.
Positions of leadership always attract a certain personality type that is more susceptible to corruption. Sometimes they get caught up in the hubris of their ideals and unethically advance them, and sometimes they just like the feeling of control, and still other times they are purely trying to build their wealth with no dedication to their work otherwise.
I’m not sure if I read it in US History years ago, or in the Bible. There’s the example of George Washington, who voters had to beg to be the president; there’s also numerous men in the Bible who were called out of their rather humble lifestyles for God’s purposes. There’s also the examples of today’s politicians, and those ambitious men in the Bible, who were punished by God for their actions.

Do you take the things Trump says seriously?If Yes, well I have quite a few more questions for you.If No (the typical MAGA response), then can you please explain how you square your belief that someone whose words are not to be taken seriously can be fit for the most serious job on earth?
You’re treating this like it’s strictly one or the other. He frequently uses hyperbole, yes, but he’s made plenty of serious remarks as well. This is where you have to look at what he said in context, including the context of how he pitches himself.
The implication that usage of hyperbole somehow makes a person completely unserious is… a take, to say the least. Any politician marketing themselves has some more realistic ideas behind their exaggerations… it is no different for the man who exaggerates the most.

Yeah, I really don’t care if who uses what pronunciation.
MAGA morons
So, is this a term the mainstream media is spewing or did you pick it up from Roosevelt? Chill out kid.

So… I assume the trap is that you have “evidence” of Trump doing all these things?

Ah, the October surprise.
Why should I even care? However many tests Trump sent Putin, it probably wasn't an amount that would make a dent in the shortages.

No one. We were considering replacing someone out for a reason we'll give later, but we decided not to replace them out.
I was messaging you ahead of time. Sorry to disappoint.

Glad to see you’re here and ready to play this DP! However, Post #4.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I feel extra bad because this is your first game. Most games are not this scuffed, I promise.

That means it’s working on you if it is a troll.
My advice here is simple:
Don’t respond to them; don’t acknowledge what they say. We’ve already broken the latter rule, but I think it’s something we should do from now on.
As far as some of the concerning stuff that BK has said… keep in mind that we can have all the suspicions in the world, but we’re not going to get anything concrete. I just reported the linked YouTube short, and that was all I can really do.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your co-pilot is speaking to you for one final time. My time managing this flight has come to an end. The captain is returning and he will be closing the thread when he does.
At this time, we remind you to be careful to contain the blood, now that you have chosen your lynch. Nonetheless, an attendant will still bring cleaning supplies, if necessary. Also, I have a parachute and a pre-planned route back home. So long, suckers!
For the final time, thank you for flying with Mayday Airlines, where we hold our surviving passengers' families hostage to prevent whistle-blowing, and you should take the hint.
Click!

Regardless of your score, it was going to be revealed that each player to guess a role correctly gets 0.5 points
Note: It’s more accurate to say that each correct guess per player yields 0.5 points… so 0 = both wrong, 0.5 = one right, 1 = both right… rinse and repeat for each player, except for the ones I had to randomize.

INVESTIGATION RESULT
Your score is 3.5.
Regardless of your score, it was going to be revealed that each player to guess a role correctly gets 0.5 points. However, it should be noted that some players did not answer. Their scores were randomized between 0, 0.5, and 1, and added to the total.

Best Korea is a troll... but I'm not sure that means everything they say is untrue

INVESTIGATION TIME
Yes, there's one at the start of this DP.
Guess one active role and one passive role scum has. One guess on each per player. You will have information revealed to you based on the accuracy of your guesses.
As always, the investigation period will last two hours. In this case, it will end at 12 (midnight), EST.
