@MisterChris
Adapting to college life is difficult and with the amount you have on your plate already, if you believe stepping down is right, please do so.

It was great working with for the short period of time we were together, drafting the new SPES and such were great

Thankfully I have some time to spare so I can resume my duties, so I will not be leaving. Your legacy will live on forever

Moderator: Joint Decision

BrotherDThomas been banned for 30 days for targeted harassment, to include clearly obsessive attempts to derail unrelated topics with personal attacks stemming from other topics long ago. While criticising statements within an ongoing discussion is fair game, the near inability to hold such discussions without jumping to unprompted cross-thread contamination (such as spammy copy/pasted paragraphs complete with links about what you think of someone's gender, and further using those repeatedly within any single new discussion) is not.

This shouldn't have to be said, but with a few exceptions (like AMAs) discussions should be more about the topic than the other users therein.

Moderator: Joint Decision

ethang5 has been banned for 30 days for an ongoing pattern of unwarrantedly accusing people of being pedophiles seemingly when in any heated disagreement with him.

As a reminder, the CoC contains the following provisions: "Targeted harassment of any member prohibited, as is inciting others to do so at your behest. This includes wishing or hoping that someone and/or their loved ones experiences physical harm." While base targeted harassment is obvious, were his words believed by anyone would invite physical harm on the targets of his delusions.

"Extravagant lies, not to be confused with mere context issues, may rise to the level of constituting impersonation." This rule was literally put in place over the type of defamation which he casually commits.

"Unwarranted systemic vulgarity and invectives, which may include off topic personal attacks and/or hate speech, are subject to disciplinary actions." Self explanatory. And magnified by countless requests to cease and desist: "If a member politely requests that you leave them alone, do so. Repeated failure to comply, is a clear aggravating factor regarding the content of said posts."

Political bias in today’s media
Finding the right media source is critical. I think 70% of journalism is fairly neutral in reporting straight facts with little skew with expert analysis, with like 25% being actual news outlets from local news stations.

It's the 30% that make publicity because the louder the take, the more attention they draw.

These are companies, and they want to make money

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - 2007 (10/10)

Gurren Lagann is easily one of my favorite anime to date and is one of the best mech shows to come out of the genre.

Gurren Lagann is not necessarily unique in it's concepts. It does nothin revolutionary, but it executes it's premises without flaws. Imagine going a symphony orchestra or an opera. The songs performing in these shows are not unique or revolutionary to the time, but they are performed and executed amazingly, almost to the point where you are moved to tears due to the display of emotions being shown in each performance. That is what Gurren Lagann is.

Gurren Lagann has some of the best written characters of all time. Not only are each character likeable, they also share an impact to their important and bring a piece of life to the show. Sure, some characters have a bigger piece of the pie than others, but removing a character would change the whole dynamic of the show. There are no boring characters and there aren't dull moments at all in this series. This series provides moving moments with bombastic action executed brilliantly. 

To put it simply, Gurren Lagann is a masterpiece in execution. It does everything right. It goes the extra mile to be the most beautifully bombastic it can be, and it leaves you with emotions that run high and emotions that can't be contained

Loyalty and Justice are interchangeable because being loyal also means service justice

Bakugan Battle Brawlers Mafia DP1
SupaDudz - Naga - This whole series started because you sought to go after the Infinity Core and Silent Core in the middle of Vestroia. However, you were absorbed into the Silent Core and only came out at the end of the show. However, at that point in time, you were the most powerful Bakugan, holding the ability to eliminate any non-ultimate Bakugan and one without the Infinity Core. You are the Duke. Once per game(except at MYLO/LYLO) if more than 20% of players (excluding yourself are on a wagon), you may unilaterally force the lynch of that wagon. You win with the Town.

Town needs to do a better job at not fucking rushing stupid lynch trains when we have time in the DP. This is why scum win 3/4 of time because town just digs themselves into a whole

The point is companies have a right to do what they want, but to say there isn't a political bias with Twitter that leads to bans is simply 2 dimensional thinking

So you agree with the fact that the Taliban shouldn't exist on Twitter yet they still do? I would constitute there beliefs as hate speech, especially there actions?

Mods can change their philosophy. Full clarity is important as town because if we aren't clear on something and make an assumption that is blurred, we are more likely to screw that up as town because we have blurred analysis. You being not clear on what the message was saying by leaving crucial details means you tried hiding it. And some people are new, and some people simply forgot. We need to have that clarity to classify such a thing so town can decipher things properly. We now know that GP could be lying. I also note you briefly mentioned it but didn't put it in context, which I believe is important to assure as town, we got the same answers. But you never included that in the original.

I just think your reasoning for hiding it isn't good. Basing it off of "everyone should know this" is not a good response

Talk no Jutsu most OP Jutsu in Naruto

But yeah I'd agree with it. I think the Land of Waves Arc was Zabuza was pretty egregious. But even with cases like Nagato and even Obito, I don't think were too bad. I also could be missing some others since it's been a minute since I've watched Naruto

Ehhh I wouldn't say Naruto's endings to arcs haven't been unsatisfying. Maybe the 2nd Sasuke Retrieval and for sure the infamous War Arc, but I have been satisfied with Naruto's arc endings

The only thing you could sell me on is that Grey is trying to get himself killed. The rest I find it hard to buy. 

1. You said the claim could be fake but did not mention Pie has given fake PMs in the past and could do it here. You are making the assumption when that assumption may not be noted by other players who HAVE played in a Pie game. So why would you choose to exclude that information? To me, that makes no sense in why you would hold such crucial information about that. You said you specifically left out that detail when it is a crucial detail to figuring out scum and meta behaviors. And why would you that be sus of you to point out? You are simply stating that someone could be lying about their PM and that we should be weary of that before blindly believing them. I would think that's more town than anything. Why as I scum would I want to out that there are fake role PMs given potentially? That would out the fact that I could be lying, which as scum, I want to remove that notion

2. With my explanation above, you purposely removed that part because you thought it looked more sus on your part. You said you didn't include it because you thought of it as common knowledge, but that wasn't the case, in fact, I don't know if a good amount of people knew that. 

With that, that's my reason for the FOS on you

I agree with you to a certain degree. I do believe we are responsible for our own actions and how the world perceives them. However, I believe God as someone to look too for help on your journey in this world. If you live by the guide that god has send you, you will never feel lonely.

In the scenario I presented, there was genuinely nothing I could do about the situation. I don't want to get in detail but it was out of my control and I felt that I had no control. God was the one I feel that kept me stable, especially throughout those troubling times I endured.

The closest show in my Top 10 from the Big 3 is Naruto. 

I think the reason a lot of people wouldn't put Big 3 in the Top 10 because of the pacing really. It's the main reason why One Piece isn't in my Top 10. 

I think each series I watched has it's issue. When you have such long series' that have lots of arc, formula will tend to run dry and you have to use the same formula but in different scenarios. One Piece actually attempted to do such a thing, and I think Naruto had some very creative arcs but some where just inconsistent overall

I think the reason FT is so much worse than OP is because OP tries to deviate from the same try and true formula in every arc. Also One Piece's world building is superior to any anime series, let alone Shonen, especially FT. One Piece uses the formula but is able to make it interesting with the world they are in and the situation. It's consistent with One Piece

Naruto has a different arc for almost every event. From the Chunin Exams to the Retrieval for Sasuke, and the Pain Arc, each has a different overarching theme and arc that makes the series so much enjoyable and fun when the arcs hit in Naruto
