I am on break and was linked the thread in question. This user was banned previously for 7 days due to his actions of supporting pedophilia. The advocation of pedophilia will shut down this site and this is not a risk I am willing to take, but we will open up the debate.

As for their ban, it was requested by the user. Not me exceeding my power

@Dr.Franklin
I am currently in college, its absolutely exhausting and I miss highschool a lot, especially seeing my hometown friends every day, maybe life will open up again post-grad.
I was in the same boat as you for my first years. I can't say it gets better because to be honest for some people it doesn't, but it did get better for me. I definetly missed my hometown friends but with ways to communicate (discord, etc.), it made it a bit easier. I was blessed enought to make new friends though and that's what preoccupies my mind

The order I was given was


1. Wylted - Savant
2. WF - Owen
3. Earth - Luna
4. Casey - Bullish

I sweapped Earth and Wylted to create a matchup of Luna Wylted, as I said I was going to do DP1. I then make it so the first person to be debated on was Wylted and Luna.

@Bullish
Earth was more town read than Savant. I said Wylted and Luna to start the game and near the end. I could've maybe chosen better but the Dp ended right after and I just saw and hit the action. Either way I don't think any of them are fully town confirmable.

Ok. Last night I swapped Earth and Wylted together. I also was allowed to pick who goes first so I also picked them to be fair. I hinted I would do this in DP1

I always find it amusing to  see 20-somethings consider themselves "old." I've been around the sun 75 times - a boomer, and definitely one of the senior members of DART.  I'll offer advice from one of my favorite literary guys; Oscar Wilde. He said, "Be yourself; everyone else is taken."
Fair enough lol. Definetly not old by a typical standards but in some friend groups and even on this site when I play mafia, people seem to keep getting younger

Thank you for some of advice. 

I put my hands in god and hope that He protects and guides me. I have experience working with people older than me as in my last internship I was working with people in those ages, but I get your point. My goal is to make the best of what I have, see shit around the world, live a fullfilling life while still having a stable revenue, and not settle down for quite some time

An obligatory, I graduated post that is the long awaited sequel to "I also graduated." I graduate in 1 month assuming everything goes to plan.

Unlike graduating high school, I feel VERY different this time around. Mainly because the typical routine I've been used to doing is getting flipped on its head after 22 years of my life, or it's because after this there may only be one more graduation post. But I just feel like my college experience went too fast. My college experience was rough to start and unlike high school, a lot of it was heightened because of my school environment and the stressed of school. I wasn't really happy and didn't find my group of people until my sophomore year, where then things started to turn around and get better. I met a bunch of great people in college and got to know a bunch of people in my time. I still had a close group of friends while also being in a fraternity as well. 

Unlike in the last post, my life has opened up a bit. I'm not worried about exams and such, and can dedicate time outside of my job to pursue passions and interests.

It is weird that I have now been on DDO and DART for 8 years, practically my whole college and high school career. I used to see OG's that were around DDO for 7+ years and thought, damn these mf's are old. Now I am one of those people. Geesh

I am going to start the process by nominating my 3 users who I believe should be in the Hall of Fame

iLikePie5
I don't need an explanation. He should've been in last year if we had more people vote in the process. I feel like it's a necesity 

Savant
Savant has been on the site for about 2 years and has acclaimed an unbeaten record while taking down a bunch of the top debaters on the site. He has an impressive resume and is also extremely active in the forum world as well, playing in mafia and contributing to the latest topics on the site. Might be a bit premature but I think it would be fair to give him a spot

Dr. Franklin
I feel like the doctor has definetly warranted himself a nomination for the Hall of Fame. He's still an active user on the site that has a pretty solid debating resume while also having over 10k posts. His quality has definetly improved since when people knew and I think someone who's so active and has stuck around should get the credit they deserve

Greetings DebateArt!

Today is the first stage of the Hall of Fame process.
This stage will last from now until March 10th, at ~11:00 A.M EST

A few reminders:
  • Mass PM threads, campaigning, and coordinating votes are prohibited. If any votes are found to be coordinated, the votes will be nullified.
  • You may vote for anyone and anything you like, but do note that moderation reserves the right to veto options (such as if it's done for trolling).
  • Self voting is allowed, but please be aware that it may backfire.

For the nomination stage, you may nominate up to 3 users, 3 debates, and 3 miscellaneous (formerly just threads, now anything you'd like be it threads or otherwise) to be put into the Hall of Fame!
You may change your votes (within reason) any time before nominations close.

The most popular nominees from each shall advance to the voting stage.

If voting is overwhelming in favor of certain nominees, they may skip the next phase of voting and be immediately placed into the Hall of Fame.

Good luck,
Vader

I am suspicious of Savant and Owen. I keep always find myself going back to Savant but the way he is gaslighting town into his thinking about a very basic stat without contributing much reads is kinda scummy

Luna's claim make sense. I don't get the justification of the 3rd line and how Timeframe relates to Justice. I feel like I'm getting PTSD from ERB but I don't know. I can't clear Luna as town because of the neg utility it can bring and how both of those could be useful to scum as well. But the thought process from Luna comes off as townish

I am still making Wylted and Lunatic battle each other in the DP2

Tbh I think you should claim. I don't think you will be the NK in NP2 (unless it's something extremely crazy that would make it more beneficial to leave town nominated alive) so I think if you claimed it wouldn't be the worse thing if you know you are confimable

Either Earth or Whiteflame

Earth because of his role. Basically he can reveal the private votes of a certain battle once during the DP2. 
Whiteflame because of his behavior (don't know how true this is for everyone). Only one actively trying hard to solve the game and putting thought into theme analysis which is something he tends to do for themes he's familiar with as town
