October 2020 in-depth rating system for debaters, by RationalMadman.

@Theweakeredge
Ben's views are debatable, but his ability to debate them is not. It's terribly egotistical to classify him as a "mediocre debater" just because you disagree with his positions... just as it would be heavily egotistical for me to classify you as a weak debater even though we are diametrically opposed on many issues

Again, not a waste if we confirm a townie. That's valuable info man. Don't you remember in previous games how much we relied on simple POE in the late game?

Why would a scum try to redirect everyone's vote on oneself?
Again, classic WIFOM trick by mafia. It's best to confirm.

Anyway, claiming Deathproof could easily be a lie. Lunatic claimed deathproof and was lying before.

Claiming something unbelievable is a classic WIFOM trick to appear town even if you are scum or TP. 

Since he is advocating for his confirmation, though, I am leaning towards him being town. I would want to confirm him though, to be sure. Then we have 2 confirmed townies and we would be doing well as town for next DP. I will say, though, that there is the possibility of him being a Jester.

The Conservative Case Against Trump
-->
@SirAnonymous
I agree there is a time when we say enough is enough and revolt against the binary system. However, I do not think that should be done when there is so much at stake. Revolting against the binary system enables the "greater" evil far more than it enables the third party you are voting for.  Between Trump and Biden, it is between the eventual destruction of our country's value system (to be replaced with the horribly deadly doctrine of equality of outcome and critical race theory) and the deaths of tens of millions of unborn children or a guy that is a jerk and a buffoon but at least not the other guy. I am going to say there is enough to lose to where I would engage in the binary system in this case.

Comparatively, as strange as it sounds, there is not much at stake when comparing Stalin and Pol Pot.  Either way, things have gone to shit enough to where both candidates are so atrocious that there is hardly the difference at all between them, and therefore little at stake. In that case, to say "fuck it, vote TP," isn't as brave as you might think. Said another way, the difference between them is not substantial enough to where you would say "we better not risk it and vote binary."

I hope I'm making sense.

Not a giant trump fan but better him than the alternative. Voting third party or not voting is a good way to screw our country, as the Dems are pretty centered on Biden.

In other news, Ragnar, who is a progressive, has passed Ramshutu to take 2nd place. But, uh, just ignore that one. It’s fake news. We all know that stupid libs don’t have any facts on their side, so he clearly won by voter fraud!
I love this

Nope, I was a TP. I won if everybody died. 

"You are DebateArt.Com. Your role is a hacker. Each night you may PM me an action, which I will then have to carry out 25% of the time. You win with yourself (if everyone gets eliminated). Also, if you get copped, you’ll turn out guilty."

Very smart. That's pretty much the same type of thought process I used to oneshot Supa a few games back with my conversion role. Gut + POE = happy times.

There was one error though... you will see.

Hmmm... Do we wanna risk it tho? Because if he isn't scum, Supa will be scum and we have to play the game of keeping track wtf he is. It might just be best to lynch Supa, end that charade before it begins. And then lynch Grey

If it is true you'd die I might want to policy lynch, no offense. It is in town's best interest.

IDK, I guess it depends on how Bear is doing this "probability" stuff. I'm not at all familiar with how a mod calculates whether a probability action is a success or failure

Bad Mod Mafia DP:????
OK, so I think BearMan pretty much made up my role.

Normally, I would not want to claim DP1, but given that my role is pretty much in the lane of the Miller, I must do so.

I am DebateArt.com. I am a "Hacker." Every night I can choose to Track, Watch, or Roleblock another player. There are two limitations though. First, I only have a 25% chance of success per night. Second, it comes at the cost of appearing guilty if investigated. I win with town. 

I think Bear's line of thought here was that since the website owner can access/modify all facets of the website, he is similar to a hacker... 

But really it's a pretty bad role/character matchup imo. I'm not really sure how one directly links to the other.
