You planning on joining this discussion? Also, good to have you back and love the Gurren Lagann pfp.
Mostly back to play mafia but it is good to finally play after a while

Luna's reactions read me as town. I haven't played with him in a minute but the behavior of pointing mod errors to try to town confirm people is usually what I've seen him as town. Granted I have not played mafia in little over a year let alone with Luna so I could obviously be wrong

@Best.Korea
Lurker's strategy is to keep quiet and let others fight each other.Its a brilliant strategy, because you always have the excuse of "oh I was so busy this day", "I have a job", "bla bla bla".
This. Lurking is also different from not being active. Lurking is inherently scummy because it assumes you are letting town fight between each other as scum. I don't have a problem voting obvious lurkers but there hasn't been one from what I seen at this current moment

So due to a mod error I'm almost positive Grey is a bleeder. Which means Grey is almost 100% town confirmed but I'm still a few pages in so don't know how he responded yet

Interesting. May have to study his mechanics in other games. My best guess is it's just a troll

7k is likely a troll at this point. Consider him dead weight on whatever side he is (unless he's scum). We need to progress DPs and if he's still around we will likely get nothing done

I am a pessimistic Bears fan. I always downplay what they will do in a season. Most fans had them at 9-8, 10-7, and I had them at 7-10 (granted for the wrong reasons).
I like the moves Poles is making. Building in the draft, building up the offense, acquiring talent at a cheaper rate versus making the big splash in FA. Think he's done a 8/10 job at the moment. Not a fan of the Claypool trade and IMO, Waldron is overrated and Flus should've probably been fired considering the coaching options available in the market. Sure he got a low return in the Fields trade, but at least he did right by a guy that gave Bears fans something to look forward to every Sunday when we were dogshit.
I can safely say if Caleb Williams doesn't pan out, it is 100% on him and him only. He'll be able to draft his guy. Poles has very extremely successful in the draft with only a handful of misses. He has hit on a ton of draft picks and has been extremely solid in drafting OLineman and CB's.

Bears:
Drafted Justin Fields. Surrounded themselves with a young core. Still a great team that drafted amazingly this year offensively. Amazing defensively. Potential division champions if Fields pans outYet to see. New management is OK and while Fields has looked rough, he had a good game vs the VikingsFields has become the future. A lot of potential
Welp the new look Bears have shown a ton of potential even after an abysmal season. Fields did not become the future. I guess it's Caleb season. New management has been cooking though. Bright future
Bulls:
New management. Acquired Lonzo Ball, Demar DeRozan, and other assests. New starting 5...Lonzo BallDemar DerozanDemar RozanPatrick WilliamsNikola VucevicAlso Caruso and Coby White are on the bench.Aged like fine wine. Still one of the best teams in the league with some nice young piecesAnd then it aged like milk. Lonzo is mysteriously hurt, the team is 10th and barely play in. Win vs good teams but lose to bad teams. Not a good team where the GM =/= trade
Still the same. Mediocre team but Coby White has become a surprising piece to this team. Still an 8 seed but I can only pray
Blackhawks:
Just acquired Venzina winning goalie Marc Andre Fleury from the Golden Knights. Also acquired Seth Jones from the Blue Jackets (though he was overpayed). They could make a playoff push this year with some of the key core still in tactAged as well as milkAged even worse. #1 pick potential
Well we got a generational talent out of the draft and are looking to get another. Future is insanely bright but geez that take aged like milk
White Sox:One of the best teams in baseball right now with a 62-44 record. There roster includesC. Yasmani Grandal1B. Jose Abreu2B. Cesar HernandezSS. Tim Anderson3B. Yoan MoncadaLF. Eloy JimenezCF. Luis Robert (when healthy)/Brian GoodwinRF. Adam EngelDH. Gavin SheetsTheir pitching is looking insane as wellLance LynnCarlos RodonLucas GiolitoDallas KeuchelDylan CeaseOh and their bullpen is arguable the best in the MLBLiam HendriksCraig KimbrelGarrett CrochetAaron BummerRyan TeperaMichael KopechFuck Tony La Russa. Bad year with injuries in 2022 and had incompetent managing, and then they lost to the Stros the year I made that postRIP Jose, couple of nice pieces added too with La Russa gone. It's gonna be a 50/50. Kimbrel gone too
Well this aged horribly. 1/2 the core is gone and the team might lose 100 games this season
The only team that is in rebuild mode is the Cubs and they got a good return for their plays for the most partChicago might be a big sports city in 2020's
The Cubs are starting to look competent again I guess

Two of the most dominant teams statistically on paper. One team with the same dominating statistics with an MVP caliber QB. I thought this was the easiest to predict.
Just goes to prove Lamar isn't the answer. Never have loved his play. Great regular season that exponential regresses in the postseason

I am still alive and everything like that. Figured I'd give you an update into my life I am not active on here anymore
I am still alive and everything like that. Figured I'd give you an update into my life I am not active on here anymore
1. I went thru a major change. I went from finance to supply chain in the business world.
2. I became a founding father of a fraternity (happened last year but still)
3. I am doing an internship in the summer

Greetings DebateArt.com
Effective immediately, Oromagi will replace myself as the new Deputy Moderator of DebateArt.com. The mod team and I agreed upon Oromagi and oromagi has accepted the offer that I extended. I thank him for accepting the offer and I certainly know that they will do a great job in the position entrusted into.
The websites about us will be updated once we get in touch with Mike to change everything and give Oromagi the permission necessary to execute his position.
Everything that was stated about my departure is listed in here:
A final thank you to everyone who made my 5 years at DebateArt.com the most memorable that I ever known. I hope everyone achieves happiness and their prosperity.
Farewell,
Vader AKA Supa

Greetings DebateArt.
Over the past 5 years, DebateArt.com has been something I have enjoyed being a part of a great community of debaters and personalities over my time as a moderator and debater. The countless memories and friends I have made are irreplaceable and the time I spent here was well spent.
However, it is blatantly known that I am not active as a deputy moderator, and my activity level has stagnated over the past year. This is mostly due to my busy schedule with school and other extracurriculars. A good amount of that also concerns my lack of desire to debate.
I simply find no pleasure in getting into debates and other joys I had when I first joined the site. This has caused a drastic downfall in my activity because I just see nothing and feel nothing positive about debating people. When I do not feel passionate about something, I lose interest until I abandon it completely, which is what happened as time went on.
My time is also a big issue as well. I have taken over 18+ credit hours worth of classes + being in an executive position in my fraternity + being on the marketing team of an upstart company. This has consumed my time, and not to mention, the lack of passion I have for debating makes me put this website in the very depths of my mind.
So what is next? After 5 years on this site, it is time to retire and quit. I will be stepping down from my position as deputy moderator and leaving the site. My final act as moderator will be appointing the newest deputy mod that will replace me. This will be announced in the coming days. From there, I will no longer be an acting mod on the website.
Thank you to my fellow mods, whiteflame and Ragnar, who I got to mod with and I appreciate the service they have brung over the past 2 years. There are a bunch of other people I can thank as well, but I do not want to drag on this post. I also will not fully vacate the site either, so if you ever need an extra for Mafia, just shoot me a DM.
I have no doubt that this site will achieve great success without my presence. I got to know so many well-rounded people that have helped this site so many ways that I have no problem hanging up the moderator cleats and letting the sun set on my time at DebateArt.com.
Best of luck to everyone,
Vader AKA SupaDudz

You have to be ridiculous to support a "promised website" until I see true results with this website, there is no reason to support a site that a majority of the users now will not care one bit for

@Sir.Lancelot
This has to be one of the most idiotic and ludicrous things I've ever seen someone do. In fact, I consider it shameless. There is no reason to invest 1k into a new site and your consistent advertising for this sight is just proving how scum you are by capitalizing onto certain fears that people may have (which have been proven fallacious). There is not a high volume amount of people and a site will not shut down due to quitting. I have seen constant apps + sites survive people leaving.

Being paranoid won't do anything. You just have to stay assertive. They are more likely to notice you changing behaviors than just pretending to be town by acting your normal town self

@Best.Korea
Sure I can get that, but I would've waited til Dp2. Then if someone was essentially town confirmed/read. You double their role. Sure you confirm yourself, but you also lose that ability early on in the game where the odds of you hitting a power role are lower and scum are higher since you do not have a clear perspective

@AustinL0926
I do not think you played bad. You didn't inheritantly put your side at a disadvantage. However, my suggestion is that you should play scum as you would play town. Try to read behaviors and give reads as if you are town, and not as if you are scum. If you act as town, you are likely to deter people away from cop/watch/etc.

Framer (innocent copped guilty)
Lawyer (guilty copped innocent)
Silencer (a person can’t post in the DP)
You can use these abilities 1x in the NP. Win with the mafia.
===================
Endgame Comments: Wow. This game was like flipping a coin heads or tails for what side would make the wrong move first. Mafia got some bailouts, like the redirect on Pie, but that also means that the night kill would have had to be on Pie too as well. C'mon guys it’s not hard damn it.
First, Best.Korea had a 1x Motivator. Why would he decide to use that Motivator on NP1? Not the best target???
Austin needs to seriously work on his mafia and deception skills. Deflecting off of town, lacking compliance, and even thinking of claims. Austin reeked of scum all game through his somewhat aggressiveness the entire time and at the end the last ditch appeal by saying my explanations sucked. We can lie but if you're gonna lie at least say, a silencer for the whole game is so OP! Not when someone (whiteflame) knows the anime says some of the justifications are good and make sense.
Wylted…you need to figure out how to fake a claim. The one thing that could have EASILY proven your point. I have never seen “Key Team Epic”. Tbh, I’m surprised whiteflame did not catch on to that, but regardless, I left so many options out there, Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen, and even Naruto! A lot of mainstream anime I didn’t choose were out there and just were not capitalized on. Mafia dug themselves into a whole
Town did a pretty good job hunting scum, but it became very obvious who scum were by the end. I’d say mvp was whiteflame. He was on with his reads and helped town decipher role→justifications. I’d try maybe interacting less with scum reads, as remember, you are trying to convince town that they are scum, not argue with the scum. Inactivity sucked, and crystalynx, I’m sure you are a pleasant person, but please do not sign up for my games unless you intend to be more active than just 2 posts per DP. You seem nice and a joy, but it is relatively frustrating when town can get nothing done because of you.
On balance, I made this game a bit swingy but I think it worked out in favor. For one, one side had manipulation roles and one had essentially skill roles. Which means if scum lost one they’d lose that whole part. Also, That2 could use any ability they wanted once they found out what it was. Cop and lawyer 1x, tracker and ninja 1x, doc and strongman. 1x Motivator and roleblocker. Miller as a SoP, and the redirect for 1x person. 2 vanillas as well. All the town roles were only counterable if the mafia chose to use them on the right day and on the right person. I think game was balance for the most part
The theme was antagonist vs protagonist. Simple. Mafia was not given any fake claims, role, or what the theme was. Kamina was always watching over Simon despite his death in the series. And Roy Mustang was a high authoritarian figure in the empire who wanted to find the truth over his friend’s death, thus he would be a cop as a cop reveals a persons affiliation, and Roy Mustang wanted to find out the affiliation the killer of his friend had.
Thanks for playing!
