I'll consider sending you a picture that shows a lot of my cleavage if you refrain from claiming this DP

It is not themed. I think the characters are randomized, while the roles are not

I think the claim is that it isn't a cope because God is real, but that is silly for a few reasons. One reason is that, you can still be using it as a cope if God is real, and if God is real there is no reason for him to leave a holy book. Especially one with so much ambiguity as to what he means.

If you didn't fear death, you would be dead and certainly not using religion as a coping mechanism. The only people unafraid of death are martyrs, and usually they lie to themselves about an after life as well.

I don't think my quest for immortality is vain, just that it is most likely vain.

@Speedrace
I am just worried about exposing roles for mafia to know how to better place their NKs, and my character is related to my role, so I assume that is likely universal. Just worried about being exposed sweetheart

I'm down for lynching speed next dp for even suggesting that.

Don't claim anything guys. We don't need scum narrowing down our roles for a better NK option. Roles seem character related

The death people fear is the one we all know. Christianity doesn't save anyone from the death they fear. We all still die.
People don't fear the experience of death, if they claim to it is a cope. I think what they really feat is the seizing to exist, this is why they create religion to ease that existential anxiety. The only problem with this is that now we have paths forward to solve the thing we all fear and develop copes for such as religion or trying to achieve immortality through reproduction or by becoming legends. We can work on the problem instead of taking a defeatist attitude that we need to create fictions to ease our anxiety.
The problem with these copes is that it distracts people from actually working on the problem, and they continue to use self deception and other avoidance strategies such as convincing themselves God is real and not only real but cares about us. If God is real, you are nothing more than an ant, and he will allow you to slip into oblivion

If oro survives the dp. and there is a doctor he should protect him

@SirAnonymous
That isn't entirely without merit, but it assumes that we scumread town rather than scumreading scum.
Assuming both are equally possible it still gives a negative expected value to do so, especially seeing as how the same exact information could just be waited on to come out the next DP

@SirAnonymous
Even building a good case on somebody is a bad ideal at this point. It allows scum to know who we suspect is mafia, and then decreases their likelihood of NKing him and saving us from a tough decision down the road. Anything beyond lynching ORO and keeping our mouths shut, is what the gambling community would refer to as a negative free roll.

Anyway I will just wait to participate until next dp, so I don't accidentally prematurely reveal anything to scum a DP too early

@SirAnonymous
No, you can just get the exact same information for next DPs lynch that you would have gotten here next dp. You will have access to identical information, just the timing of it would be better for town
Created:
Posted in:

@SirAnonymous
The same behavioral information can be gained tomorrow through the same methods so we would not be gaining any extra information here, we would have the same information but just postpone it. Honestly if it weren't for explaining proper mafia theory to you guys I would just vote and sit out this dp. Once scum is caught, any additional information is detrimental to town.

@ILikePie5
No, it's only bad when more information would have caused a more accurate lynch. Information is valuable in catching scum. Once one is caught information should be throttled until the next DP. The exception being cop results or night actions that you can't expose after you are dead
- What do you have against gaining more information? There’s a reason why it’s a bad idea to end a DP early because we lose valuable time to gain information and hunt for scum.

@SirAnonymous
So we know for a 100% fact you voting them won't elicit then to communicate, so perhaps you should just vote for confirmed scum

I'm going to be focused on anybody bot on this lynch next DP. I just hope one of the scum is not on the lynch, because anybody on the lynch I am giving a free pass to

@SirAnonymous
What is your plan to elicit information from somebody who knows with 100% certainty ge won't be lynched?
Created:
Posted in:

@SirAnonymous
I agree, but I would rather do that later in the DP for reasons already stated.
Your reason was to elicit more information, but I explained that doing so would hurt town and if that was really your intention the same information can be elicited dp2. Your good reasons no longer stands. If he doesn't participate dp2, we can lynch him, assuming nobody else confesses to being scum.

@SirAnonymous
Information beyond catching scum for a DP, hurts town is what I am saying. Depriving the informed minority of having information that is not conducive to immediately catching scum is a good ideal. ANy information you get from pressuring pink this DP, could also be gotten from him the next DP from the exact same methods.

@SirAnonymous
I disagree. He is scum in my calculations, and we might as well get rid of him now, as it loses us 2 votes when he is targeted. It loses us his vote, and it creates an extra vote against our wishes. We can have an advantage over scum by depriving them of information they can use the next NP, by just lynching immediately.

If they are looking down and calm enough to recite what doctors are saying to each other among other claims why would they be unable to notice a picture of a penguin on a book shelf. Whether the person is religious or not is beside the point. This psychological phenomenon feels very real, regardless of your belief system

Soleimani is reported to have killed over 500 American citizens. Killing one Iranian general in response to 500 American deaths, seems like more than a fair trade, and he was alleged to be planning more American deaths. Is the solution of those who oppose killing him, that America should just let it's citizens be killed and do nothing to seek justice on their behalf?

I have experienced a spiritual entity as well. It was Santa Clause.

in, very curious about characters here

@EtrnlVw
Millions of kids every year perceive Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny. Are they real? Millions claim to have experienced UFO abductions, do you believe in those?
How can you intellectually make such a claim lol? that is really an assumptive claim. One I find quite absurd, to dismiss the direct observation of untold number of witnesses.
I find it absurd that you don't realize that humans have perceptual problems that are just naturally a part of being human and have been experienced by just about everyone in existence. I perceived Santa to be real at one point also, and at another time I thought I saw Bigfoot, but it is clear neither of those things exist.

@EtrnlVw
hanks for the opinion. I'm sorry your own experiences aren't convincing, perhaps if you were to evaluate the number of claims involving all of spirituality you might say to yourself...ya know, what's going on here? am I stupid or is there a reality involved? does my conscious being really end with the death of the physical body? am I just a series of impulses and neural firing?Experiences can vary from subtle to extremely intense but when you evaluate them as a whole you might find it more convincing.
The number of claims wouldn't matter. The number of people being fooled into thinking a psychological phenomenon is not merely perception but reality, would not be evidence for the fact it is true. We have tests where people experiencing NDE's had opportunities to prove it by identifying hidden objects in the room only visible from an elevated position when they thought the were having an OBE, but fail to do so 100% of the time. The multitude of evidence just points to NDE's being a psychological phenomenon, and I agree with TRN's assessment of you to be honest. You are not debating in good faith, which is why you don't provide evidence or even back up your premises, and dodge everything thrown at you out of fear of being proven wrong. You are not seeking any truth, you are merely seeking to proselytize because perhaps you believe that you are equal to god and already know everything, so you think you have no room to learn. I disagree that you are god and all knowing though.

I used to meditate and experience astral traveling. It felt very real and I could swear I was looking down on myself, but common sense and logic say that it is more likely it was just my mind playing tricks on me. The sensation of astral traveling was not evidence for it, and it would be stupid to call it evidence
