unless any of you are a doctor, Harder was the only person who did not log in during the Np and thus the absence of a NK is due to automatic waive. He's the other scum lets lynch him.

We have inflation because we tie money to the country's total wealth. We don't have to.
In your opinion, what does money represent?

DDO looks normal again- are you going to use it?
DDO's activity is likely never going to recover. This community on the other hand is growing, and once the site gets optimized for google searches there's going to be a new community emerging. I'm looking forward to it.

@ethang5
In Australia they're called disabled toilets and anyone can use them.
I'll assume you mean anyone disabled can use them. Right?
You would think so right? But people use them if it's more convenient that the normal toilets, which is why unisex toilets are rather redundant.

@Buddamoose
You came across as extremely certain it was 1TP, 1 mafia, the reasoning of which was it would make most sense balance wise. When in 7 player games TP's are just hella imbalanced and hard to incorporate, and the easiest route to a balanced 7 player game is 2 mafia 5 town 🤔
Couple of things there, 
  • In relation to the game I can't be certain of a TP unless I'm a TP myself, so either way I have no idea.
  • The smallest number of town you need to have 2 mafias is 7. Any fewer than that and you should only be running 1 mafia.
  • 1 TP + 1 mafia is less scum sided than 2 mafia.
  • You're assuming my PoV operates from your ideas of balance when it doesn't. I assumed coming into the game for instance that I was the only scum for example.
  • If you scum read my thoughts on balance, you would be correct for the wrong reasons. I was uninformed on the set-up and led to believe that it was 1 mafia vs 6 town, which is arguably less info than a town who can't make this faulty assumption in the first place.

mafia claim BP because they know they're not going to get shot and if anyone asks why they're still alive it's obviously because nobody wants to try shoot them. Lazy claim.

RM is a really, really good lynch target. BP roles are rarely ever town sided and are popular for mafias to claim for obvious reasons.

Let's mass claim the characters and then lynch him. 

Harder, XLAV waiting on you two.

This is a really early reads list but here we go:

Town:
Earth, GP, Virt, Smith

Null: XLAV, Harder

Scum: RM.

If I had to randomly guess the scum team I'd go RM + Harder, as RM's interaction with Xlav doesn't look like scum-scum. Earth I wager is town because running is too ultra generic for scum to safely posit, GP reads town because of post 45. Virt is probably a legit miller. Of course, nobody has posted much material yet so take this with a grain of salt.

The fact that RM cites the formatting in his role pm hints that he's not lying about his character.

I'm willing to bet he is just making shit up just to see how we react..like his claim that he is an actual person or athlete.
How should we react if he was being honest about his claim? Does his dishonesty come across as town-like to you?

toss out theme analysis for now I mean. I don't think we're going to find anything useful in it given my sport is really obscure and the links to roles are obscure with them. When the yanks all wake up, there's 2 votes on RM so let's see what happens if we try to make him full claim. I'm expecting fireworks.

@ethang5
that's not what I mean.

Instead of dollars imagine we traded with gold coins. let's say my watch was worth a gold coin, which is the equivalent of a day's wage. Imagine if everyone magically obtained 1,000 gold coins. Would I keep selling my watch for a mere gold coin? No, obviously I would bump the price up because the value of a gold coin has decreased now that everyone has more gold coins. This is inflation, and is the reason why we can't just print out more money senselessly.

Paraphrasing the justification because it’s an individual sport rather than a team sport.
This is Virt's justification Grey, could you compare it to your own and tell me what you think? I have a team sport so it checks up on my end.

yes it's correct SOP and he's doing the right thing imo if he's a real miller. Of course naturally a scum planning to fake a miller claim would also know to do this so it doesn't mean a whole heap. It's a null claim but still a liability. Lynch millers only when there's no other reasonable target.

If there would otherwise be a NL today I would recommend lynching the miller claim. Nothing personal Virt.

@ethang5
This would not be welfare, and would not represent any physical wealth anywhere. Why would it lose value?
Imagine if you were selling lemonade at a stand for $1 a cup and everyone had $10 to use on lemonade. That means everyone is expending 10% of their resources to purchase your lemonade. If suddenly the government came in and gave everyone there $1,000,000 each, one person could buy your product for less than 0.0000001% of their own resources. Because your product is worth 10% of a person's resources, you would have to increase the price of a single cup of lemoade to $100,000 just to maintain the same value. This is called inflation. 

Money is not inherently valuable, it's meant to be a common exchange method. Historically you would trade 2 goats for a plough. If you were to buy the plough for $2, then $1 is effectively the value of a goat. If you injected $1,000,000 then the value of a goat would be $0.0000001 and it would take $2M to buy a plough.

Genetics are based on nutrition.  Less nutrition and the genetics do not function as well, if at all.
You might be thinking of epigenetics. The actual base pairs are determined in gamete meiosis and in recombination, long before a person is born.
