Should Full Forfeits be broadened to missing every round after their first argument?
I support the opposite to this. Showing up at all means you didn't FF.

4. Tactical vote reporting is morally correct, slamming 5-7 points against one side just to be a dick and get away with is because you have 'law' in your username is not some kind of acceptable practise that should be encouraged.

3. is a 'no'. That will defy the very basis on which you judge an RFD as valid.

  1. No to #1 in fact I don't even understand why forfeits are bad conduct, I just accept it. If you forfeit, you give the opponent a free win.

A good economy is not good for everyone when you have demolished the entire failure of a safety net that Obamacare was and replaced it with literally no safety net at all. This version of 'good economy' benefits only the rich.

I know you put effort into that reply and that you also believe it but it is impossible for me to reply in a polite and nice way.

How is Trump geopolitically savvy? The only nations he has not made loathe US with a passion are Israel and India. Technically Canadian conservatives like him but that's just because they always liked US in general, given their political outlook.

Why has Virtuoso gone so silent since becoming chief moderator?

I confirm that Ragnar is. It's as if there is a curse on the chief moderator position whereby the deputy/vice always outperforms them.

Choose the right option:
  1. He has moved on from the site in an emotional sense but clings on for the glory of his role.
  2. He has moved in from the site for both emotional and job-related reasons but clings on out of a sense of loyalty and struggle to help a site he once frequented.
  3. He has converted to a branch of Buddhism that has sworn him to silence.
  4. He is a coward and this is a callout thread.
I think it's option 2.

Tactic #1: claim cards that give you a straight to claim the role that requires three of a kind.

@Vader
That is because Kurama was always a more reasonable Bijuu to its Jinchuuriki than most. For instance, Gaara's one was very sinister and I don't think he ever was truly able to tame it, he just kept negotiating with it in a toxic way until you-know-what happened.

Naruto and Kurama actually ended up best friends as his relationship with the Bijuu progressed. This was very important because it motivated it to release more to Naruto and to not need to hijack him when releasing itself fully to/for him.

When I asked Bullish to slap himself, it was said knowing he was not going to self-harm based on me saying it.

If you are really that livid about a game you'd hurt your leg to prove how much you regret it, you shouldn't be playing games of this stress-triggering level for the sake of your actual mental and physical wellbeing.

That is why I didn't say shit to you after the game was over. There's a time to tease and a time when to respect someone's mental state. Relax. Also, Croc would be a terrible NK target, it did make sense to duspect Press for being lawyered/godfather the night he was innod. Where you went wrong was on the last day phase. You completely saw red.

I think only their powers should be secret, not their roles. That was a huge advantage for mafoa and only thanks to the joker day 1 and mafia now lawyering up, did we stomp them early like that.

NP3 the mafia tried to kill Press, but I misread and killed pie instead. I made that mistake but I think it ended up in favor of mafia, because Supa killed Press.
Slap yourself hard on the face right now. 
This would have let me completely prove Croc was scum.

Bearman ruined the strategy but I admit that mafia having a convenient non-roleblock visit role that is also on two-pair let Croc escape it but I'd have mentioned him failing to self-vosit and set up an autowin vtnl scenario for us the next night.

He ignored me exolaining that mafia couod NK-bus their partner and went into some kind of blinkered rage, stampeding to lynch me once I mentioned thst Croc NK'd Oromagi. To be fair to him, I also townread Croc for that NK but Bearman is most to blame. Croc would be forced to pretend he saw Bearman visit Supa. This would at least have told us that it's extremely likely that Bearman amd Supa are both town as they claimed single pair and had a visit thst doesn't roleblock (I predict that pair enables roleblock).

You don't grasp how accurate my day one reads are, let alone how much I do for town even beyond what I type in games (I set chain interactions off between others that I analyse). You are the reason we lost the poker game, if we lose. Not me. Even when you forced me into it I did everything I could to talk you down from the ledge.

I was town mvp in so many ways. Day1 to now. Supadudz saving me was also move but over the game he became less useful for town both as a speaking player and how he used his powers.

Syllables in "Hour"

@Intelligence_06
When pronounced in a very American accent (especially southern) there is only 1 syllable which is 'ahr' where the 'ah' is said in a slanted, extra long manner. You can try to argue that the 'rrrr' itself is extended and a syllable on its own but this is merely part of the accent.

When prounounce in a British or non-r-rolling European accent, it is said with 2 distinct syllables as 'ow-eh' or whatever the specific accent says it as.

In R-rolling accents it is said again with 2 syllables but unlike the American accent there is specifically a pause and stopping before the RRRRR

It is said like this: 'au-verrrr' but the 'v' is said soft with the v barely touching the lips for most accents however for very strong Russian and Ukranian accents the 'v' will literally be said.

I have read the post you linked, I think that maybe I am missing some context here because if I'm not and that's the post he got banned for... I don't think you know how serious of an accusation 'sexual harassment' is.

I also understand if the more in-depth stuff is either deleted or happened on PMs with other members but if that post is what you are citing as evidence, I don't think the term you're using fits what he did (what he did is far less severe). That person 'Homer' is who? Is that the name of a member? I am confused.

Don't understand RM either. The guy has beastly reads both of people and situations. As for Speedrace, maybe he's good at Mafia but his fakeclaims in a poker-mafia game leave much to be desired.

Kid Naruto had huge reserves thanks to nine-tailed Kyūbi, Kurama. It doesn't only benefit him when he's unleashing it, it gives him higher base Chakra capacity. Kurama often shared with Naruto, I don't think you know that Jinchūrikis automatically get higher chakra reserves due to the interaction between the Bijuu and them.
