thett said Trump was like chemotherapy, as in he was toxic but necessary to fix the GOP.
I'd agree with this statement.
I said that we don't know the GOP would maintain a populist style of governing and would likely revert to their anti-regulation, anti-spending rhetoric (i.e. disavowing the poor and working class in favor of capitalist interests). Romney and other Republicans being against the stimulus indicate that's true.
Looks like so. I really think more spending at this moment is needed, but I heard some of the things they proposed in the bill was to relocate money into funding new museums in DC(from what I heard. I stop following politics since the election). If that is the case, this is reckless spending in times of crisis. Anti spending is sometimes beneficial when we need to control something.
I also think de-regulation was the key factor into the COVID vaccine being distributed. The deregulation on pharmaceuticals and the pressure given allowed them to work tireless to find a vaccine to the virus. If government were to regulate this to more of an extent, it would most likely be delayed. Ultimately with de-regulation, it's very philosophical
I wasn't sure what to expect because I assume Trump will still have a great deal of political influence even after he leaves office. I predict he will start a media conglomerate or at least maintain a very big presence in the media, and therefore his political support would still be influential. But maybe not. Looks like the GOP is going back to their "we have to prioritize a balanced budget" position sooner than later.
I'm not sure. Knowing Trump's nature, he probably will be a large presence in politics still.

I am planning to write a full review soon. The pacing of the first 10 episodes is a bit fast because the anime assumes you've watched the first (you don't have to watch the first), but it explains everything in a very clear manner and you are not left out of the loop if you didn't watch the first.

I just finished FMAB. This is literally the best anime I've seen. It's a masterpiece. It takes all the traits I love about Naruto. There is no filler episodes at all and is all canon. It's extremely philosophical and emotional. It's seriously a work of art. Even the villians in this show are philosophical.

@Crocodile
Any show that needs 900+ episodes to develop can't be a Top 5 anime.
My top 5
1. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
2. Naruto Shippuden
3. Death Note
4. Attack on Titan
5. Demon Slayer

I've said from the start that Trump doesn't allign with a party and will do what he wants. Now he goes after the GOP. He's on a war path of exposing corruption in both parties. I will still stay a Santa believer, the superior American party

Watch Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. I've only watch 12 episode but it is really good. Getting Naruto vibes from it, but less filler

And I am going to keep saying that what I was saying was not bad reasoning because of the interactions occurring based on past games. I still think my logic wasn't bad despite what most people said and was not inherently scummy

@Danielle
In fact Supa got very upset about that in a game recently where he lamented that nobody ever listens to him,
I called Speed’s exact move he would do to frame me. He’s going to waive the NK and then you as a Jailor would jail me to suggest that I was the mafia, hence giving Speed the win. I said in the DP and knew I was gonna lose despite me knowing Speed and his play style through me playing games with him as mafia and his thought process. Extremely aggravated that no one listened but oh well

Second favorite. The overanalysis between L and Light was truly amazing. Interesting and an amazing show. I still love Naruto though :)

Ahh an endgame flamewar. Please proceed while I start aggressively slamming my hands to the keyboard to the soundtrack from Death Note where Light Yagami takes a chip and he eats it *aggressively types that you are a moron* I’ll take my hand, and slam it to the computer!!

@drafterman
The problems is you think there is some magic objective bar that a person needs to reach in order to push for their lynch.
Yes. There is a bar for me that is set. I am not willling to take the risk on a lynch I'm not comfortable in doing, while risking losing a person and being at more of a disadvantage because of Hated. So I disagree with your method

At this point, I am not brought with enough evidence to come to a lynch. I have no problem VTNL'ing in this situation as well. While I would say we policy lynch Magic, I think her insight is helping town and lynching her now when she could be useful in DP2 is much better. If we can't think of a lynch then, I'd say we policy lynch Magic, but with results, we might have a clear cut lynch. I think it's better to VTNL since there is no clear lynch

Well I'll check pings in a bit I'm gonna finish up this arc I'm writing for my story

As much as That1 is prominent on the third party, I have a town read on Magic. I haven't done forum mafia with her, but I have been with her and knew her inside actions in a Lovers Mafia game, and to me, I just don't think she'd take the risk in claiming a character that has a higher chance of being lynched due to policy itself than not. There's much more risk to doing that then there is benefit

Normally if this were a normal conversation, people are just adament on saying, they are scummy, we should lynch. But That1 is being extremely suggestive to them directly being a third party for an odd reason, without reasoning with the possibility that they are mafia. I find it peculiar to focus on a third party aspect versus using scum. Seems somewhat strange

@That1User
Why are you so indicitive that they are a third party. You say this is an "if" theory, but you yourself are consistently bringing up with logic that doesn't co-exist between the two. I do find this behavior peculiar and strange that you are so adament over the third party theory, yet you claim it as a theory and are dismissing the fact they might be mafia.

Mimes are a town role I'm like 99% sure. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

@Bullish
DART Metas with 3rd parties and such are becoming norms, which is moronic to an extent. I don't like it, but saying there's third parties is not scummy. A third party is scum, and as town, our objective is hunt scum.

Since when has Water pushed claims on other people on DP1? I saw Water as a passive townie not looking to exort force, yet he is demanding a claim out of people who haven't been active. His words before could be misunderstanding of the role, but him saying this stuff is scummy to me
Created:
Posted in:
Implication of a 3rd party is not a scum tell at all. There have been many conversations in DART games with it and I can't remember anyone being scum and saying that.

I was at 4/7, which I feel is sufficient amount of pressure to give a character claim. I will not reveal my role in DP1 and I will stick by that notion. In general, only if there is sufficient pressure should you give a claim. I hate the new direction of popcorning character claims, yes, but if Whiteflame and drafter were to town and mafia was not on my vote, if ideally it was 3 person mafia, I could be lynched.
Again, I am opposed to mass char claims in DP1, I think it helps mafia more than anything, but if pressured to do so, I will

No I do. Wasn't directed at you if it was RVS, but more whiteflame.
And no I disagree. While we don't need too, keeping them alive for a certain period will only be a net detriment to the town due to the nature of the role. Therefore, if we already are a day short by your logic, why do we not VTNL
